• 4:46
  Speaker 1: talking about? In front page News, We'll be talking about
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: a second wave of coronavirus and what places where it
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: hit the hardest. All right, we'll get into that next.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: is DJ Angela Yee, Charlomagne the God. We all the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news. Where were
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: starting well? Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred is guaranteeing
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: there will be a twenty twenty season, so get ready
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: for that. They're trying to figure out finances basically. So
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we'll give you us some more updates now. A second
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: wave of coronavirus has hit Florida, Texas, and Arizona after reopenings,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and according to the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Eric Toner said, there is a new wave coming in
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: parts of the country. It's small and it's distant so far,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: but it's coming. Florida, they reported new cases of the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: deadly illness and more than more than any other seven
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: day period. In Texas, hospitalizations went up six point three percent.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: That's the largest daily increase since the pandemic even started.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: And in Arizona, new cases have also reached an all
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: time high on June second. I think that was expected
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: and expected that. I don't think anybody didn't expect that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: When people started going out and you start getting close
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: quarters with people, Yeah, it's gonna spread. It's gonna spread more,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: but they said in some places it hasn't, though they
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: can't figure out why. And Georgia infections have dropped in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: California as well. You think it's because they're doing more
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: testing since since and since everybody reopened, even doing more testing.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, because they haven't talked about the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: increase in testing, so not sure what the correlation is.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: But they said they haven't found a direct relationship between
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: states reopening and the increased cases. According to the White
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: House Coronavirus Task Force, yes they still exist, but um, yes,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: so they're trying to figure that out. Now. Donald Trump
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: is going to be going back out to do his
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: rallies and the first place he's going to is gonna
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: be Tulsa, Oklahoma on June team So June nineteenth, he'll
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: be there. And obviously Tilsa, Oklahoma was once a thriving
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: African American business community and it was decimated back in
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: nineteen twenty one when a racist white mob killed hundreds
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: of black residents right yep, all because they were thriving
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: black community, all because they wanted to stop black black progress,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: All because they wanted to stop black prosperity. The same
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: country that you know tells you to pull yourself up
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: by your bootscraps. As soon as you get some boots,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: they cut your feet off. And that's exactly what they
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: did in um and Tulsa, Oklahoma. And he's doing that
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: on June teenth. Coincidence, I think not? No, definitely absolutely
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: not a coincidence. You know, he made the announcement as
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: he was meeting with some African American supporters of his
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: for a roundtable discussion, so clearly done purposely. At the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: same time, he's also up opposing efforts to no I said,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: unless he's going there because he wants to give that
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you know that that that that race that they've been
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: contemplating whether he should give or not in light of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: everything that's happening with George Floyd. Because what Donald Trump
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: wants to do is make a play for male African
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: American voters because he feels like if he gets into
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: double digits with male African American voters, he will win
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in November. Now, at the same time, Donald Trump is
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: opposing efforts to remove Confederate commanders names from military bases.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: He said he opposes any effort by the US military
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to rename the nearly one dozen major bases and installations
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that have the names of Confederate military commanders. That would
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: include places like Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Fort Hood
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: in Texas, Fort ap Hill in Virginia. And even though
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: they are well, they're open to having these conversations with
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the military basis, are open to having these bipartisan conversations.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump is saying he is opposing those efforts. Yeah,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you know, I'm I'm from Monst Corner,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: South Carolina, born in Charleston. But you know, um, I've
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: been having conversations with Damyra about, you know, removing Confederate
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: memorials and things of that nature. And they actually have
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: something called the Heritage Ack that protects certain monuments and memorials.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: So if they're on like private land or if there's
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: some type some part of the some if they're on
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: some type of private land and there's some part of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the Confederate then they can't be removed without a vote
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: or something like that. I don't know, but we're working
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: on it because there's no better way to uphold white
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: supremacy than to continue to celebrate white supremacy. I know
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Virginia was Virginia was like that, crazy like Virginia. When
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: I went to school at Hampton University, that's all you've
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: seen was Confederate flags. That's the first time I really
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: started to see him. Because you know me, being in
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: New York, you don't never see him. I don't. I
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: don't think you haven't seen it growing up in New
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: York City. But when I went to Yeah, but when
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I went to Hampton, oh my goodness. All right, well

  Speaker 1: You really want to take advantage of me at the

  Speaker 1: I love you. You love me back? Come on say

  Speaker 1: just yeah, I just can't sit here and act like
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I'm okay when I'm not okay. I really can't, and
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: it'd be it's too fake. All right, Jasmine Waters, we
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: got rumors on the way. Yes, we are going to
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: be discussing somebody who says that when she was six
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: years old and she's a reality show star. She was
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: chased by the Ku Klux Klan. All right, we'll talk
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: about that when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is the Ruble Report
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: with Angela yet Well. Lebron has partnered with other athletes
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: and entertainers to start a group that's going to protect
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: the voting rights of African Americans. According to The New
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: York Times, who spoke to him on the phone, the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: organization is called More Than a Vote, and they're going
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: to peer up with other voting organizations and work to
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: help to get African Americans to register to vote and
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to cast their ballot in November. He said, because of
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: everything that's going on, people are finally starting to listen
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: to us. We feel like we're finally getting a foot
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: in the door. How long is up to us, We
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: don't know, but we feel like we're getting some ears
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: and some attention, and this is the time for us
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: to finally make a difference. We want you to go
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: out and vote, but we're also going to give you
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: the tutorial. We're going to give you the background of
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: how to vote and what they're trying to do the
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: other side to stop you from voting. Other people who
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: have joined to help out the organization include Jalen Rose,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Skyla Dicken Smith, and Trey Young. So that's a great
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: thing that's happening. Also, Georgia Democrats Stacy Abrams has who
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: has Fair Fight, also advocated for fair elections and she said,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: we look forward to working with Lebron and other professional
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: athletes in more than a Vote to stop voting suppression
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and protect the right to vote for black voters across
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the country. I mean, that's a that's a great cause.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: But it's not that black people don't want to vote.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: It's just that you have to give black people something
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to vote for. People are not you know, they're not
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: into the voting process because they feel like, you know,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: these Democrats, especially when it comes to the presidential candidates,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: haven't done anything for their communities. Like it's really just
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: that simple, Like we got to stop putting the burden
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: on people to vote and start putting the burden on
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Democrats to give voters something to vote for. If you
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: energize people, they're coming out. We showed, We've shown that
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: time and time again. You just got to energize the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: black community. That's it. Give us something to vote for. Well,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I think you can do both. You can encourage peop
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: to go out and vote. Some people like Snoop or
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I think it was offset just voted for the first
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: time because they didn't even know they could vote. And
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: then what we saw just happened in Georgia. People did
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: go try and vote, and they were all kinds of
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: issues with standing in line for hours, Locations were closing,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: people had difficulty with machines. Sometimes it's just the technical
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: part of it as well. So anything that you can do, Yeah, yeah,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I know they go out and vote. I'm just saying you,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: when you motivate Black people, they come out and drove.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Look at Barack Obama in two thy twelve, ninety three
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: percent of African Americans voted for Barack Obama. If you
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: give us something to feel like, we're motivated to vote
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: for coming out in droves right and voting sixteen, we
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: were motivated. And also voting is not just about the president,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: but as you know, people are voting in the primary.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: So I got to make sure that we always keep
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: that energy going and always educate people on what's happening.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Even right now to try to stop you from wanting
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: to vote, all right now. Portia Williams has bill that
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: she was chased by the ku Klux Klan when she
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: was only six years old, and her father, who was
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the legendary Josea Williams civil rights activists, was there with her.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: And she went to her first march when she was six.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: And here's what else she told Andy Cohen and watch
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: what happens live being the granddaughter of a civil rights leader.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Where I was about six years old when I went
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: to my first march, and it was here in Georgia
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: and for South for Sithe County, and I was smacked
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: in the face with racism. We came across klu Klux
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Klan who decided they were going to protest our protests,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and they threw rocks at us. I actually got hit
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: with one. They chased us back to the buses and
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: called us the N word and any other thing you
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: can imagine the KKK would be calling us. Yeah, imagine
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: that she said they were going rocks at them, she
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: got hit by a rock and all of that. So
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: they also had a Bravo Amplify Our Voices panel and
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: she was on that panel as well. All Right, the
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Grammys was on with Candy and Gazelle Bryant from the
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Real Housewives. Apotomic okay O, Potomac. I think that's how
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: you said. All Right, the Grammys is going to drop
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the word urban from the awards categories and they're going
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: to stop using it now. So this is them trying
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to launch a new chapter in their history. The prize
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: for Best Urban Contemporary Album is now the Best Progressive
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: R and B Album. If you guys recall Tyler, the creator,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: had said last year he didn't like he didn't like
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the term urban. Here's what he should say. On one side,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I'm very grateful that what I made could just be,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: you know, acknowledged in the world like this. But also
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: it sucks that whenever we and I mean guys that
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: look like me, do anything that's genre bendinger, that's anything,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: they always put it in a rapper urban category. And
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: I don't like that urban word. It's just a politically
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: correct way to say the N word to me. So
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: when I hear that, I'm just like, why can't we
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: just be in pop? A half of me feels like
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the rap nomination was a backhanded compliment. First of all,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with the rap, unless, of course, you
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: aren't making rap music. And Tyler's case, don't understand why
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: he feels like that if he isn't just making rap,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: he may not want to be nominated as a rapper.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: But if you started as a rapper, even if you
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: explore other genres of music, aren't you still a rapper
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: just doing other types of music? Yes, I think they
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: should find a way to categorize the music, not the artists.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: I think that's what they do a lot of times
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: they don't. They categorize the artists when they should be
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: categorizing in the music, Like if there's a guy that's
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: a rapper, like they went all threw two thousand and
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: made the Love Below are when Kanye made eight aweight
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: in the Heartbreaks, they were rappers who explored other genres
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: of music. They should categorize the music, not the artist. Well,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: best Urban contemporary album is about the music more than
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: the artist, because it's about that particular album. And if
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: that album is not a hip hop album, or it's
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: not an R and B album and it's in a
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: different genre, I think he feels like it's just instead
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: of saying pop. You know, people just because they're black
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: get put into the urban category. But what is progressive
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: contemporary music? That sounds stupid? Well, progressive R and B
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: album is the category Bernie Sanders R and B album,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: When you drop stupids, the progressive R and B album,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: that's what that is. That's what going R and b. Lum,
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be the progressive R and B album from
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the Bronx. Yeah, that sounds crazy. Progressive R and B
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: sounds crazy, all right, Wilham, Anie lady, And that is
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: your rumor report. Yeah, what you got on your progressive
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: R and B playlist? Sonu Man, right now, I got
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: that new Bernie Man the Bird. What you got on yours?
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't listen to progressive R and B.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: It's not my thing. It's not your thing. It goes
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a little too far left for me. Stupid. We got
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: out front page news coming up. What we're talking about
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: progressiveness basically, No, actually, this is definitely not progression. We're
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: gonna talk about two black teenagers in Oklahoma who were
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: arrested did for jaywalking. All right, we'll get into that next.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Keeping locked this to Breakfast club. Good morning, tj Envy,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the gay We all the breakfast club.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Let's get in some front page news where we starting you.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Two teenagers in Oklahoma were arrested and now they have
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: sparked an investigation after videos showed the police were handling
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: them very aggressively. One of the teenagers was being held
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: onto the ground as he was saying, I can't breathe.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: The police did release bodycam footage. It's in Tulsa on
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: June fourth. Plice jumped out of their patrol car to
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: confront them for jaywalking and the situation escalated. The first
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: team is apprehended. His friend is saying, why are you
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: choking him? All he was doing was jaywalking, and then
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: one officer responded, we just want to talk with him.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Then he had to act a fool like that. The
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: twenty minute video shows an officer remained on top of
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: the teenager, who lay on his stomach even after he
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: was handcuffed, and the teenager is begging the officer to
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: police he stopped touching him, but the officers hands remained
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: placed on the team and repeatedly he's pulling on his pants,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: grabbing his legs and crotch, and then the officers repeated
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: to the teenagers that they broke the law because they jaywalked.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Is that ridiculous? Jaywalking tickets? Jaywalking tickets, I know they
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: enforce you a lot in California. A lot in California,
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: they enforce it. I mean, you couldn't possibly enforce it
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: in New York, but I know they do it a
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: lot in Cali. Now, the teenager was handcuffed first and
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: was forced into a police car. He was yelling at profanities.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: He called the officers evil and a racist, and said
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: that they arrested him because he's black, and he kept yelling,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: called my mama, called my mama. He said, because I'm black,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I'm a criminal. And then he screamed out black lives matter.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: And then the other teenager was let go. So now
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: the only problem more investigation. The only problem with that
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: is jaywalking really is illegal, but it's really just a sucker,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: a sucker, rude enforced. Like when the last time a
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: cop gave somebody at jaywalking ticket. You gotta just give
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: somebody a ticket, You have to arrest them, Like when
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: do you get arrested for that? Can't they just give
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: you a ticket. They just give you a ticket. I
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: don't know what it shouldn't be a ticket. If that
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: m I feel like I've jay walked with the police before.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sure. All right. Well, George Floyd's brother was talking
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: in front of Congress Filanes Floyd. He made an appearance,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and here's what he has to say about police reform
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: in law enforcement overhaul. People of all backgrounds, genders and
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: racists have come together to demand change. Honor them, and
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: make the necessary changes that make law enforcement the solution
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: and not the problem. Hold them accountable when they do
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: something wrong. Teach them what it means to treat people
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: with empathy and respect. Teach them what necessary forces. Teach
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: him that deadly force should be used rarely and only
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: when life is at risk. George wasn't hurting anyone that date.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: He didn't deserve to die over twenty dollars. Yeah, so
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: that's facts. Yeah, absolutely. And then you hear this jaywalking
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: story that got extremely aggressive for something like jaywalking. I
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: think that's ridiculous. So he wants to make sure that
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: his brother's name isn't just another name on the list,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: and they want a whole law enforcement overhaul, and I
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: think that makes perfect sense. And Nancy Pelosi was there,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy was there, and there's you know, there's this
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: whole conversation now that people are having about defunding the police.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: So that was another issue that was happening at the
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: same time. All right, And NASCAR has banned Confederate flags
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: at their races, and Bubba Wallace made a statement, he said,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the presence of the Confederate flag and NASCAR events runs
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: contrary to our commitment to providing a welcoming and inclusive
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: environment for all fans, our competitors, and our industry. Bringing
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: people together around the love for racing and the community
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: that it creates is what makes our fans and sports specially.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: The display of the Confederate flag will be prohibited from
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: all NASCAR events and properties. So I think that's you
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: can't dismantle this mechanism of white supremacy. You can break
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: down the system of systemic racism if you don't intentionally
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: do it, Like these things have to be intentionally done
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the same way that they were intentionally created. They have
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: to be intentionally done, intentionally dismantled. All right, And yesterday
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the Louisville Metro Police Department and released the incident report
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: for the night of March thirteenth. That's when Brianna Taylor
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: was killed by three plane clothes officers who used a
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: battering ram to break into her apartment. She was shot
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: eight times, and if you saw this, it's pretty much blank. Like,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: most of the details on the incident report are blank.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: They have her name on their there a case number,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: the time and date of the shooting, but a lot
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: of the details were left blank, including her date of birth.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Blank is the section for injuries, and the section for
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: forced entry is marked off as no, even though they
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: used a battering ram to break down her door. So
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: yesterday is when they finally released that incident report. Yes,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: they said it. It's negligence, they said, at best, and
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: an attempt to avoid being held to an official document
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: at worst. So it's either they just didn't care and
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: didn't fill out their report because they were being negligent,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: or it could also mean that they were trying to
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: make sure that they cover this up. Here's the thing, though,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: who holds them accountable for that when they're doing something
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: so obvious. This is an obvious cover up. We all
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: know that they ran in the wrong house. They didn't
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: have a warrant for that house, but even dropped the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: charge against against Brianna Taylor's boyfriend for shooting back at them.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: So who holds them accountable? Who holds them accountable for
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: number one running into the wrong house, being negligent and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: number two clearly trying to cover their ass. Who holds
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: them accountable? Well, that's what needs to happen right now.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: The FBI is investigating, and of course their police department
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: is investigating the shooting. But they haven't even been arrested,
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: and they haven't even been fired, and they haven't been charged.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: For me to believe they're on an administrative leave, very
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: hard for me to believe that FBI is that big
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: brother in this situation. It's all law enforcement. They would
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: all look out for each other. I would think I
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: could be wrong, but I would think that that's the
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: way the way that goes because to me, if you
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: feel out a report like that, you're clearly trying to
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: cover your ass and we all know you made a mistake,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: so you should be held accountable. You can't do negligence
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: and didn't turn around and try to cover your ass
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: about it? Not right that somebody's dad. That is your
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: when we come back, Ebony Kay Williams will be joining us.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: You know they're from State of the Culture. She's been
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: on the show numerous times. She's an attorney and we're

• 31:38
  Speaker 1: We've been needing this. We've been needing news that takes

• 31:45
  Speaker 1: collaborates that with deep analysis and conversation. So it's gonna
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: be It's gonna be dope. And I applaud Puff the
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: chairman of course of Revolt in the Revolt leadership team,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: for really making this happens. Let's get this some topics, right,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: Like I want to know why is defunding the police
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: such a triggered people? Why are people so upset about
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: that term. Yeah, people are entirely triggered by it. And
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. We on this platform, in this space,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: doing the work that we do, we know what that means.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: When they say defund the police. We know that doesn't
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: mean dismantle the police. We know that simply means the
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: police are they are out of their lane with a
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: lot of the work that they're asked to do and
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: sometimes take upund themselves to do. So all we're saying
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: is take some of that, some of those millions, and
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: in the case of a you know, a status in
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: city like New York, it's billions. They got billion dollars
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: budgets for police here. So we take some of those
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: billions of millions and redistribute that that money elsewhere in
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: the community. So we can have what we've been promised.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: So long community policing, right, so that goes to schools,
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: that goes to community centers, that goes to after school programs.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: So take some of that responsibility. You will awful police
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: because they were not supposed to be doing a lot
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: of that part of it. Anyway. They need to worry
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: about enforce and laws and let communities take care of themselves.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Because defund people think gains take away all the funds
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: because they didn't eradicate kind of what it means. And
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: what I love was what chance the rapper? He said, Well,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: they defund the education system all the time, So I
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: don't see why this is what people are upset about.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: But I understand much. They don't call it that. Ye,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: but they don't call it. See, they don't call it
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: that because people said, we don't defund social Security, they
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: wouldn't get elected. And people said they're gonna defund medicare
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: you know? So people, why what do they say? Instead,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: We're gonna lower taxes? So perhaps that would be the
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: messaging point here, right, What if we said we would
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: like to save people money, all the citizens of America
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: like to lower your taxes? By redistributing the funds for
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: law enforcement. People would probably buy that, don't It's crazy
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: that we don't even know where the money goes, Like
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: we paid the six billions because it comes from our
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: taxpayers money, but we don't necessarily know where it's six
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: billion dollars goals. Isn't it weird that they don't open
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: up the books and say, hit, this is what the
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: money's on. Well, it's not weird because a lot of
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the money is going into their pockets. Oops. Did I
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: say that out loud on this platform. Here's the thing
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: you're hitting to exactly why personally, I have extremely conservative
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: fiscal policies politics. I think the government has been a
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: steward of our money since inception. I think we spend
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: billions and millions in ways that we'll never see, whether
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: it's infrastructure, whether it's our roads and highways, our schools
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: hardly publicly are hitting our shoet. You know, we're spending
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: money there, but we're not seeing a result. We're spending
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: money on, like you said, billions of dollars on military
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: grade equipment in all this shoe It's nuts. So that's
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: a whole nother conversation about politics based in really financial
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: money grabs. You're asking for billions and billion trillions of
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: dollars from us. It's taxpayers, that's our money. That's how
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: hard our money, y'all v take a good forty percent
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: of my income and doing what with it? Exactly? I
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: don't like the return. I don't like the return. You're
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: in a high tax bracket. I can tell they take,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: and actually in the worst tax bracket, Angela, because I
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: make just enough money to be in the worst bracket,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: but not enough money to start getting advantage of all
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: of the highest highest a millionaire, the multimillionaire brackets right
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: where now they're getting tax breaks beyond belief that those
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: people really end up paying closer to twenty two percent.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: And it's crazy and it's crazy. And you spoke about messaging,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: which I think is very important. Why can't Democrats get
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: their messaging right? And this is what I mean by that.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: When you ask Joe Biden about the funded police, I
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: think he got it wrong. I think Senator Harris got
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: it perfectly. Senator has explained to the way you explained.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump took that the funded police and said they
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: wanted to fund the police. They want to abolish the police.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Two different things, but it worked. Why did that speak
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: more than what Senator Harris said or Joe Biden said. Well,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the answer is cognitive dissonance, which is a way in
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: which people believe what they want to believe and if
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: you give them just an inch. So that's what Trump does.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: He did it in this campaign. What do you call him?
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Deport the Mexicans? And by that, you know he says,
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I just mean the murderers and the rapists and the druggles.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: But we saw when it went into actual action that
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: was who was being deported at all. You're deporting children,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: You're deporting you know, people that have paid money into
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: our taxes to thirty years. You're deporting people that starting
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: now you're don't you say's military. But the messaging was
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: so strong and it's what his base wanted to hear
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: that it worked. So you know, Biden, messaging ain't its strength, Charlemagne,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: which would you want me to say that is true? Well,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: evany another since we're talking about messaging, right, another thing
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: that you spoke about, and I saw you speaking on
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: this is the hold your vote hostage and the messaging
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: behind that. So I went you to explain what you
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: said about why it is important for us to not
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: put out that type of messaging. Indeed, since so I personally,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I really hate that messaging and I think it's extremely problematic.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's extremely dangerous for two reasons. I'll start
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: with the basic premise, uh that folks in general, and
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: so that includes us as black volks, we don't want
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: to go to vote at the polls, no way, we
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: already don't want to do that. So all people need
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: is that reason. So if they get to say, idols
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: like my brother, here's Charlemagne, and idols like my boss
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: and revolte Puff and other major credible leaders in our
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: community are giving them, using my term here, an excuse
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: to stay at home anyway, not have to go out,
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: and don't let it be reigning on election day. You know,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I asks ain't trying to get out there, you know.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: So then they get to say, ah, don't gotta go anyways,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: we're having a substantive boycott on the issue. And just
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: like in twenty sixteen when you talked about this recently,
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Charlemagne on MSNBC, over four million people stayed home. Stayed home,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and we see the devastating and a third of them
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: were black. And Michelle Obama spoke about this and her
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: documentary Becoming She's really mad at us, and so damn.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: That's what happens when we to me abandon our post.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: That's what we did in twenty sixteen. We got to
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: do some backtracking just to get to where we were.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: It can be done, but it's not gonna be done
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: with no messages talking about hold your vote, hostagen and
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: boycott the ballot. That ain't gonna do it. Second thing
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I have with and is unpopular opinion Black people make
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: a huge difference in elections. That is correct, Charlomagne. Don't
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: for one second mistake that as political power. That is
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: not political power. Let me tell you what political power is,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: shar Political power is when you can pick up the
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: telephone and you can call you're sitting US senator, you're
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: sitting US congressman, you're sitting mayor, you're sitting governor, you're
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: sitting United States president, and they take your call and act.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: Why not because you voted for them? Because that's really
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: a kind of back end transaction. The voting part, Nah
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: they pay attention to and they are politically powered by
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: front end Transactions. Front End Transactions is funding their campaigns
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: from its onset. The NRA has political power. You know,
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: we black folks, we love to pay our ties and
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: we should do that. But the Jewish community members, I
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: know y'all treat apet like it's tidy. They pay it
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: like it's a bill because they know their political life
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: and their community interests depend on it. Hi, we have
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: more with Ebaney K Williams when we come back, so
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning ej Envy
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: We're kicking in with Ebaney K Williams, Charlomagne. What about
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: regular everyday people who just want to leverage their vote,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: or what if regular everyday people decided, you know what,
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going to form my own political party. Black people
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: are gonna have their own party like the Tea Party,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna vote in blocks. Because everybody not rich,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: everybody can't donate money tothing. You mentioned what we ca Andrew.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: We could donate fifty dollars to a pack, Charlemagne. We
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: should be talking about pass so creating a black pack
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: for creating your own party here's the thing about creating
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: your own party. I'm just gonna be candid with you.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: I would love to see the day in theory that
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: we can have an independent third party, because you know,
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I'm an independent and been one for over ten fifteen years.
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: Because I don't really like either one of these parties.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: We've had this conversation, but these parties they're too big
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: to fail. The infrastructure behind both the Republican and Democratic
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: parties hundred years old. They've got a trillion dollars and
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: the infrastructure is too big to fail. So a third
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: party will always just be symbolic. That's the truth. When
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: it comes to political power play, I might recommendation, y'all,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: for black political power to take that electoral influence that
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: we do have at the polls. Don't give it up
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: by boycotting a vote. That's not smart as then they're
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: gonna say, well, then black people are giving us some money.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Black people, I'll turn it out to vote in general,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: because you're not gonna get even if black people did
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: what you know you're you're potentially suggesting, charl we didn't
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: go vote for Biden. Most of us are not about
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: to go vote for Trump. So now we just take
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: ourselves out of the equation, and you best believe that
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: train moving forward with it. About that, I'm not telling
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: people not to vote. What I'm saying is what you're
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: essentially saying. We have to find a way to get
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: something for our vot You got to demand something for
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: your vote because if you vote for a party ninety
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: percent of the time, when you talk about going back
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: to where we were, where's the black community going back
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: to black community? Black community been into shambles all these
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: But another thing, another thing evaning you pointed out was
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: also talking about just the legislation and just the judges
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: and all of that. That's also what Donald drum has
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: done a while he's empowered. That's pointed. That's my answer
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: to your shaw Angel just gave it to you what
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: we're a black people going back to all of that,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: and that matters to me more than anything. You're gonna
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: do it for eight years. Those federal appointments are lifetime, y'all,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: and they make decisions about everything from schools to prison
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: to church freedom, religion, all the basic tenets of our
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: society are actually controlled and dictated to us through the
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: United States Supreme Court and other federal courts, federal appellate courts,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: federal district courts. So yeah, very hard, very hard to
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: convince black people in the hood that they can vote
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: their way out of their circumstances because they've never seen
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, but they can't. I actually agree with
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: you on that. Now, that's where we agree, my friend.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: We cannot vote our way, and that's what I'm saying.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: That's the voting is simply a starting point. It is
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: when I submit to you, we should not and cannot
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: afford to give up. But I really want to get
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: back to this pat because to me, that's the only
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: thing we haven't done yet that I think really could
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: make a difference. So now let me ask you a
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: question about let's say, like what Shallemagne and did. He said, like,
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: you know what, whold on, Joe, We're not just gonna
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: be black and just say because you're Democrat, were going
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: to vote for people. Let's let's see what you're gonna
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: do for our community first. Let's let's say to step back.
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: I almost feel like as a community, like what the
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Jewish community would do, we take a step back and say,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: hold on, bro, you ain't gotta'll vote Jack, What are
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: you gonna do for our community? You will get all
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: these other places you talk about NLRA. They take care
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: of NLRA, they take care of Planethood, they take care
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: of then the police commissions and all those, but they
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: never take care of us. They haven't even at least
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: swing in the game. And you need to be a
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: make that call, just like the NRA. Yes, yes, three
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: k I'm okay, okay, pause, pause everybody for two seconds.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: I hear you, and I hear you lotting queer, and
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: you're all making excellent points. That's where I push you
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: back into your right. The reason why they don't they
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: take care of those people and they don't never take
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: care of They don't never take care of us. We
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: all agree on that because we're not even in the game.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: That's what y'all. I want you to really get that. Shop.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: We think we're in the game because we show up
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: and we vote religiously, but we're not in the game.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Voting doesn't get you in the game. It's only influenced.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: It's not power. And I disagree that we can't do
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: what these communities do. There is a lot of black
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: not just wealth. Of course, there's individuals in the black community.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: We have black billionaires. They can write those big twenty
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: million dollar checks to get us started. But that's not
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: really what's going on in a pack. That's not really
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: what's going on in play a parenthood. What's happening is
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: everyday people that are deeply passionate about women's reproductive rights
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: and deeply passionate about Israel, or deeply passionate about their
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: jobs as police officers, are their jobs as teachers. They're
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: giving two thousand dollars a year religiously. They might you know,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: they're giving fifty dollars a month religiously, but they're doing
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: it to end these points in an organized fashion. Listen,
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: we can't act like collective pressure having change. The conversation's
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: been talking about jo Biden's been talking about race a lot,
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: or he's been saying how you want to dismantle systemic racism.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Now that conversation about having a black woman running made
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: is a real thing at the forefront. Because up until
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: about a few weeks ago, it was Vaulaball claiming Amy
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Corbutchell yep um, uh yeah, no, no, no, listen, I'm
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: not mad. Sorry, I'm not mad at at at at
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: the pressure. I like the pressure, keep the keep the
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: block hot, and we need to keep the black hot
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: after this moment that we're in right now, right, So
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: we agree about that. I just I simply was saying
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: that's to me that that's I hope that was a
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: bluff tactic, and I think it's worked in our favor.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: But to actually stay home on November third, we can't
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: do that. Well, No, but did hit the problem? This
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: was scared to me. If you look at two thousand
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: and sixteen, this looks very similar to two thousand and sixteen.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: We still don't know how Trump won name double didn't
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: you know? Yeah? No, no, no, y'all don't know how
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: Trump won. I came on y'all show as soon as
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: that went down, and I told you I knew because
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: I was inside the building over there Fox News. I
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: knew they were they were organized, They had a they
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: had a singular voting interest. Y'all. Hear about single issue voters.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: Trump was elected because of millions and millions and millions
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: and millions of white people across this country. They had
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: a single issue. You know what it was to keep
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: their knee on our next as black people as Hispanic
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: people and anybody else that is not of their birthright
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: of whiteness and their for superiority in America. And Trump
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: ran on that. He ran on it, y'all, you know, unapologetically,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: and they voted on that issue. That's how you wanted.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: I knew he was going in. You know, I don't
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: think did good that nobody paid attention to. Well, I'm
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: sure they did, and you did because you probably he
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: was over there. But for eight years they demonized barrocc Obama. Yeah,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: it seem un American. He was the end of democracy.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: And we were so happy about Obam we weren't paying
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: attention to what was getting riled up on the other side.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: But it wasn't definitely wasn't going for no more black people,
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: and definitely wasn't going for a woman after that, wasn't
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: going for no they wasn't going for anybody that wasn't
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: aggressively upholding and violently enforcing the status quo of black subordination,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: women staying in their place and white men maintaining their
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: their implicit power structure in America. Barack Obama said, there's
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: a new place for black men in America, and it's
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: in the White House, and these white folks weren't having
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: it evany. What are your predictions for our November? I
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: was feeling good, Angela, and then you said that, Um, well, listen,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: I think anything's possible. In all sincerity, I do. I
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: do think anything's possible. I'm a woman of faith. I
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: think when and I do believe he will because I
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: think he knows he really has to. I don't think
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden is a dumb man, and I think he
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: recognizes this moment. And I think he has some brilliant
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: black women on his team, including my sister Simone Sanders,
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: who is gonna tell him he really don't have a
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: choice at this point if he wants any kind of
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: black voter turnout, but that ticket with him. Yeah, he
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: got to. He got to. He got to. Even if
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: you don't want to, it don't matter. We got to.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Otherwise it's gonna be twenty sixteen all over again. To
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Charles point, we will stay home, all right. We got
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: more with Eboney Kate Williams. When we come back, don't move.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: It's to breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the breakfast
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: club we're kicking in with Ebony Kate Williams. You're a
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: public defender rights prosecuted a lot of cases, How defended
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of cases? We're defending a lot of cases.
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: How difficult would it be to prosecute the killers of
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: George Floyd, those four officers? How difficult it's I'm gonna
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: tell y'all, it's gonna be extremely hard. Don't don't even
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: get your hopes up. And saw Kamala said essentially the
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: same thing on the view just a couple of days,
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: and I'm in I'm gonna tell you why. And I
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: told already told you this, Aby you want you, I
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: love you, Manby. I told you this already back in
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: two thousand and eighteen. Because even though we have the cameras,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: uh and we all saw what happened. The current statue
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: that that dictates it's deadly forced for officers simply requires
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: it to be deemed reasonable, you know. And and that's
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: that's open to any kind of interpretation. I'm actually and
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited to share this with you. This was
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: the main reason I was so looking forward to joining
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: y'all today. In addition to what Corey and Soar Kamala
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: have put out which is important that I want people
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: to really make noise about that. But the reality is
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: that packaging is very comprehensive. It's extremely broad, and it
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: has zero bipartisan support a single Republican it's not getting passed,
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: and and and it's just that they can use it
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: as a marketing tool though they should use it, and
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: that's important. Look, look, look what I'm doing. Look what
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: we're doing. They won't pass it, but keep applying the
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: pressure so that when and this is really how politics
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: are playing, and it's brilliant, um it can be very effective.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: So what they're doing is extremely important and necessary for
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: the work that I'm involved in. So right now I'm
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: working with a very experienced legislative team, and you know
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: you're aware of this work, chadle Man, you know, you
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: know exactly what I'm referred to. And what we're doing
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: is drafting similar legislation, but that is much more specific,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: not nearly as broad, and it speaks exactly like I
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: was like, I'm not even working with y'all if y'all
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: don't get this peer on the paper. We are elevating
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: the deadly forced standard from one of fear, reasonable fear
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: to necessity. Now that Burt will be on the officers
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: to prove that deadly force was necessarily, absolutely objectively deemed
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: by a reasonable officer standard necessary to use deadly force.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: And now when that is the law of the land, Envy,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: that is when we will see some kind of convictions
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: for the killers of George Floyd. But right now it's
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: not there, but we're working on it. I'm excited about it.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: We're trying to get it past. We're literally drafting it
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: with Democrat and Republican Coast sponsors so that will be
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: brought into the table. I told you this show to
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: made you didn't want to hear it in twenty eighteen,
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: but you appreciate it. My point, which is sad but true,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: law enforcement has to be a part of this conversation
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: to the legislation we're drafting. We're we're getting, if not
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: full buy in consideration from law enforcement organizations across the country,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: particularly black law enforcement organizations, because when we do this, y'all,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: it makes offices safer, that's the truth. They get safer
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: when they are accountable. Because the black community and other
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: communities of color or or oppression are not. There's more trust,
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: there's more trust between the communities. So yeah, I'm excited
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: to work on it. It will be rolled out very soon.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: You will be hearing details all of y'all about it
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: and your audience. And when it is rolled out, this
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: is where I need people to step up because people
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: have been dming me share. You to be a huge
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: favor and I appreciate you so much. Whether you posted
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: that twenty eighteen video recently on your Instagram and now
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: I'm flood with d ND. I'm gonna tell you what
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: you need to do is when I come back here
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: or you know, relate it to y'all and you guys
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: related to your audience that I tell you this is
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: the legislation, make noise, put it on social Call your
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: congressmen and women, call your senators literally, and when there
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: is a ground swell that looks like this protest movement
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: that's going on right now, they will have no other
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: choice but the past, because this will be our mandate
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: and it looks like you said something that's very important,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: because you know, it does get frustrating when people act
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: like certain folks aren't doing the work, so like just
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: because you don't see us on the front line. The
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: protest doesn't mean that things aren't getting done because there's
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of things moving that people have no idea.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: And by the way, that's the way I think Black people,
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: I think that's the way we should move. We got
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: to keep our heads that and do the work. And
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: that's important. That's so forth schar and I know every
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: single one of us in this conversation is doing a
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: lot behind the scenes, and I think there's definitely space
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: for different people to have different roles. Some people will
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: be on the front line, some people who moved behind
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: the scenes. Yeah, both of those. The work sister to
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: Mika Mellory, man, it's transformative. You know, the power of
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: visibility until freedom and right now. I spoke to her
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: yesterday and she can't even say where she is because
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: she's getting so many death threats because she is so visible.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: But she's got so powerful doing the work. Powerful, Yeah, man,
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: so so that that am of it has to be
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: in gear, like it's a process, y'all. But thank you, Evany.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: We appreciate you so much. I think you know when
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: you come on, when you come on this platform and
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: you're able to speak about all these different things that
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: might be confusing for some of us and bring some
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: clarity is really beneficial and helpful. And I know, as
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: always just so intelligent, heart is in the right place.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: Excited for your new show on a Vote TV, black Man, Congratulations,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: love everything. I love everything you're doing, Angela. You are
• 53:55

  Speaker 1: it goes no bounds. I truly credit you solely for
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: introducing me to this aspect of our culture from a
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: media standpoint, But not for you me hosting black news
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: on Revolt probably would not be happening. And I'm aware
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: of that, and I'm grateful to you for that. Envy. Um,
• 54:25

• 54:33
  Speaker 1: y'all what you guys stand for in the cultures. It's invaluable.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: So love y'all love all right, An it's about this
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: angela need the breakfast club. Well, Trevor Noah and I
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: viewed Joe Biden on his daily social distancing show, and
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: amongst the things they talked about, what are some of
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: the fears that Joe Biden has in the upcoming elections.
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say. My single greatest concern
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: this president is going to try to steal the selection.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: This is a guy who said that all mail in
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: ballots are fraudulent, voting by mail while he sits behind
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: the desk in noval office and racious mail in ballot
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: to vote in the primary. Duh. Yes, I've been saying
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: that we don't even know how Donald Trump won in
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, and it's the same exact scenario now. Hillary
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: was leading to all the polls and double digits. Members
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: of the GILPE was saying they don't support Trump. You
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: had Russian interference, voter suppression, voted depression because people weren't
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: enthused about Hillary. And we're facing all those same things
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: this year. So yeah, that's why when I hear Democrats
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: say the only way to beat you know, beat that
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: is to have the largest voter turnout in US history.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting there thinking like, well, hope, it's not a strategy.
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: How are you going to make that happen. You gotta
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: make that happen. Leaning to your base, your basis black people,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: had a black woman running mate come up with a
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: radical police reformed policy, radical criminal justice reform policy, and
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: a tone for America's original scene, which is slavery. Goddamn
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: it with reparations. Another thing that they discussed was Joe Biden,
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: as you know, is not does not want to defund
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: the police. And here's what he had to say about
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: defunding the police and what he does things should happen.
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: I don't believe he should be defunded, but I think
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: the conditions should be placed upon them. Were departments who
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: are having to take significant reforms relating we should set
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: up a national use of force standard. If they don't
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: sign onto it, then in fact they don't get any
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: the federal money. In addition that they have to demonstrate
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: that they'll release all the data that relates to misconduct
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: by police, that all has to be sent to the
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: Justice Department. If they don't send it to the Justice
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Department nationally, they don't get funding. I just think they
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: need to change the word defund since the word defund
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: is absolutely it don't understand that trigger, yeah, because I
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: get it. Well. The definition really is to take away
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: the funds. So that's what it is is. And some
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: people are saying they want to dismantle the police department
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: and defund the police department. Some people are saying, no,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: we want to reallocate that money. So that's what's confusing. Yeah, exactly,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly what it is, is a reallocation. You're
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: taking money from them big ass police budgets and putting
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: it back into the community. It's really a simple concept.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: They just need to come up with a better way
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: to I guess frame it right. And there's also different
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: people who want different things. So you just have to
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: be I think, very specific because when people hear these
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: huge talking points and then it's not broken down right
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: all right, Now, you'd be a fool who they want
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: to abolish the police or just paying the police, like
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: you need some type of law and order. I just
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: think you need police officers from the community that understand
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: the community. That's what I think you need, right, And
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: they do have some places where they did dismantle a
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: whole police department. So that's also what's confusing because the
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: people are bringing that up and they're like, oh, well,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: this worked in this town in Jersey, so this could
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: work somewhere else. And that's really what it is. So
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: different people are asking for different things, so it's important
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: to be specific with what your ask is, all right.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Beyonce is reportedly set to sign a one hundred million
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: dollar Disney deal, which is huge, and they're saying she's
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: been a major player for Disney and she's a perfect
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: fit for the brand. She voiced Nala in The Lion King,
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: and she's working on a number of different projects for them.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: She's gonna be voicing Nala in the reboot of The
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: Well besides that, they're also trying to secure her for
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: some more projects as well. She'll be on the soundtrack
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: for the Black Panther two movie that's coming out in
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, and two additional blockbusters, and she's also
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: providing music for Disney film soundtrack. So they're saying she
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: could also continue her work as a voice actress. Yeah,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: saw that. They denied that yesterday. I wonder, I wonder
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: why I don't wonder why they. I mean, it's not
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: because it's not like it's bad news. Yeah, maybe, and
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: they want more money, you know what I mean. And
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: it also is that they're not saying that she has
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: signed the deal. They said that she's in talks about it,
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: so maybe they're denying that deal is done. I don't know.
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: The rev denied it denied. I don't know. All right,
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: the Wendy Williams Show has been renewed for a twelfth season,
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: So congratulations to her. She said, I want to go.

• 59:15
  Speaker 1: the show. Right now, they're not on the air obviously,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: she's been dealing with her Graves disease. But they have
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: already decided to renew that show even though they're on hiatus.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: Right now, we're dropping a clues bunch from Wendy Williams.

• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: Tamera or Tomorrow. I never heard a white woman named
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: Tamara or Tomorrow. But if you don't know who Hamera is,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: she's the latest Karen caught on camera harassing people who
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: are not the same honkey colored hue as her. Okay,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: this human jar of helmets had the nerve to make
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: a racist comment to a young lady by the name
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: of Corina Rodriguez. Dropped on the clues bombs for Karina Rodriguez. Okay,
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: let's go to kp n X NBC twelve to hear
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: what happened. Now, a husband is apologizing after a racist
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: tirade by his wife went viral. Pretty, where were your there?
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: Where are your ancestors? Straw from this country? You you
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: better go back to you just know you're just walking.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah he deserved. Greg Kahn captured the now viral confrontation
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: on camera at a super Pumper gas station near Seventh
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Street in Greenway in North Phoenix. Are you the manager?
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: Immediately her? Yeah, you're not so. That was Karina's response
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: to Tamara. Tamara's husband now admits her remarks are unacceptable
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: and is apologizing to Karina, the woman on the receiving
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: end of those racist remarks. See Bob says his wife
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: is not the manager at the gas station and claims
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: she has suffered from an undiagnosed mental illness that she
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: has refused to get treated for more than a year.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Y'all remember that story, right see off the ether first,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Lady Michelle Obama says, when you go low, we go high. Well,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: your uncle Charlotte says, when they go low, take it
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: to the floor with them, especially in regards to matters
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: of racist rhetoric. Okay, you call me a racial slur,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna call you one back twice. All right, you
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: put your hands on me, I'm gonna do with Karina
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Rodriguez did, and slap the mayonnaise out your mouth. Not
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: if you're a woman, of course, my wife would do that,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: But if you are a male of the white race,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: you're getting these Melani covered mittens applied to your nose
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: bone if you approach me with some type of racist slur. Okay, Now,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Tamara got smacked and she did what most racist Karen's
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: do after instigating a situation and suffering consequences from it.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: And that's played a victim. Now, Tamara's husband, Bob, was
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: on Foxton in Phoenix, and he decided to apologize for
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: his wife's tamarous behavior. Let's let's let's hear what Bob
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: had to say, Karina. I don't know what to say.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: I'm just so sorry. I'm just so sorry that this happened.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: You never walked into that store thinking something like this
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: was going to happen. I understand. I'm sorry sorry for
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: what she said. It was very hateful, it was it's indefensible.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: But I just have to tell you that's it's her
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: mental illness. A year ago, she would never have done,
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: would never have even thought of that. I'm gonna tell
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: you something. I believe him. Racism is a mental illness.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: It has to be. Yes, It's it's a learned behavior
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: as well. But I do think there's some learned behaviors
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: that can drive you crazy, okay, because a lot of
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: learned behaviors just aren't healthy. And racism is one. Just
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: think about racism. The pure definition of racism prejudice, discrimination,
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: on the belief that one's own race is superior. You
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: simply don't like someone. You simply look down on someone
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: because of what they are, because of what they were born.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: Ass that doesn't seem like some sort of paranoids gets
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: you for anny to you. Bob said he's not excusing
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: Tamera's racist ramp, but says her mental illness started a
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: year ago because of a break in at their home,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: and she says that. He says she developed paranoia and
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: signs of fabrication, and he hopes to slap video would
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: be enough to convince Tamera to seek treatment for her issues.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: I need to know the race of the person who
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: broke in her house. If the person was a white man,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: would she still be afraid? Would she still be paranoid?
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: And if you are so afraid of people, why are
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: you running down on them. If you're so afraid of
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: a person, you stay away from them, not press them.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: You social distance from them when you're afraid of them. Okay,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: you don't run up on them in stores and call
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: them racial slurs. Bob once again said he hopes to
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: slap is the wake up called Tamara needs. And that's
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: the way life works. So I want everyone out there
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: listening to me to be wise and not just smart,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: to be wise, because smart people learn from their own mistakes.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: Wise people learn from the mistakes of others. So either
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: learn from people like Tamara are Life might have to
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: slap you in the face to get your attention. Please
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: let Kathy Griffin give Tamara Harrian the biggest he hall.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: Please give this giant jar of male the biggest he hall.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you for that. Yeah, I just
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: faked my way through Donkey to day. Though I've been
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: faking the whole show. I'm not in the mood. I
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: don't feel like it. I honestly don't even want to
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: be here. But then again, I do want to be
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: here because running your mouth is therapeutic and I need
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: at least a two hour therapy session today because it's
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: very hard to discuss so much other meaningless stuff when
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: you have heavy things on your mind. And I am
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: highly confused this morning because yesterday I lost a good friend,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: a homie, a creative partner who goes by the name
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: of Jasmine Waters aka jazz Fly and Jazz is someone
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: who I spoke to a lot, not just spoke to,
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: but leaned on, went to for support, went to for advice.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: She always knew the right things to say she always
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: had the realest, most meaningful things, you know to say
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: she did not waste words. And I'm still downloading processing
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: what happened yesterday, and I haven't allowed myself the opportunity
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: to feel my fields yet. I just want to encourage
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: people to check on your strong friends often because usually
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: as strong friends or to go to, and when the
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: go to doesn't have anyone to go to, that can
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: be a scary lonely feeling and strong friends when you
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: get checked on. It's okay to be vulnerable, It's okay
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: to be perceived. It's week. Week is fleeting. We y'all
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: get weak. That's why you have a tribe. That's why
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: you have a village. Nobody will fall if everyone is
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: each other's crutches. But please find someone to talk to.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: If you haven't okay, if you haven't tried therapy, go
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: we all need a If you need a grief counselor
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: find one, psychiatrists, something, Just find someone to talk to. Please.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: I don't care what you are going through on this planet.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: You are not a loan so r I p to
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: my homie Jasmine Waters aka jazz Fly, And as I
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: sit contemplating the meaning of life this morning, because when
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: people close to you pass, you start questioning your own
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: mortality and you start thinking about life and what does
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: it all mean? And per usual. Even though she's not
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: here physically, Jazz Jasmine is giving me the answers. So
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: listen to Jazz Wax poetic about what she feels the
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: meaning of life is. I can't speak for anybody else.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: I think for me, it's about figuring out who I am.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: That's been my process, and for me it came from
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: a surrender moment and from there it has been a
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: ten year journey or so since. And I think that
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: that's where I started to just sort of whittle away
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: piece by piece. Oh this is I'm the person that like,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: I'm hard headed, I'm They told me for years don't
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: touch the iron, and then when I was four, I
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: walked into the iron and just laid my hands on
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: it and got three degree burns. Like, I'm that person.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm the person that needs to be. I need
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: to figure out what I'm not in order to figure
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: out who I am. And that's been a journey for me.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: But at the end of that was joy. You gotta
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: find the joy, all right. I'll rest in peace and
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: condolences to you bro and definitely her family and friends.

  Speaker 1: trying to see how can I kind of my baby
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: mama about taking me off back child support? Okay, so
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: she's not willing to do that, or you're you're trying
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: to figure out the steps of going to the court
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: where you first got the child to world order and
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: what I know, the steps to the court. But it's like,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: how do I explain to her, like as far as
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: being a black woman, like how stipulations on a black
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: man about not being there for our child, Like my
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: child she's only three years old, and I think in
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: her life at the beginning and the situation where my
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: baby mama had, you know what I'm saying, got me
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: put in jail because of the situation. I don't want
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: to put it out, but she got me put in jail.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: I got out, I got a job, and now she
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: put me on back child sport. You know, I'm not
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: mad that I'm on child sport, but it's like back
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: chot suport, you know what I'm saying. And I've been
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: in my child like since she was turning the beginning,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: she's GONI three. How do I get her saying? You
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, my point of view, I can't
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: get a feminist check. You know what I'm saying. I'm
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: an essential work I have a pretty good job, but
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: I can't get any fact returns. You know what I'm saying.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to be a black owned business owner. It's
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: but I can't because it's like I'm stuck and she
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: don't understand, Like I don't think she really understand like
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: what she did and how much it affects me and
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: how much. You know what I'm saying, I really can't
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: move it now. And the whole reason why I want
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: to move it because I know you said you've been
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: in your child's life, but have you been financially supporting
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: your child? Yeah, it's the beginning. I mean, you know
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: she's going three. So what you guys need to do
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: is I would if I would, You're in a different relationship,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: you said. Now, yeah, we're both in a different relationship.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, it's we're all cordial. It's
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: never easy. Well you know, thing going on with does
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: but it's like, man, my baby mama can never seemed
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: to see and it's all about the child, and it's
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: like to her, it's like she don't get that. It's
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: like the only while I'm in this why she put
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: me in this piggima is because of how she feel
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: no offend before my daughter. Why don't y'all try to compromise,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: Because I think a lot of things when it comes
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: to stuff like this, compromise is always the best answer.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: So maybe there's a way that you guys can do,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: just a written agreement with each other that you'll give
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: her an extra certain amount of money or whatever per
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: month until that's paid off if she'll take you off
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: a court ordered back support of child payment child support
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: payment written agreement. Yeah, just you and her. You have
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: a written agreement, somebody witnesses it, you can sign it,
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: and that will stand in the court. But that way
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: she might feel more comfortable knowing that you'll do it.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: But that way she's taking you off of that back
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: payments so that it's not in the court system, so
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: you can't move and do what you need to do.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: Because I think that's a good proposition for you to
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: come to her with. Maybe it's an amount that y'all
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: agree on, and you'll say, for the next you know,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: two years, I'll give you an additional three hundred dollars
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: or whatever, additional to add up to whatever amount y'all
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: agree on, if she would take off that court ordered
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: back child support. All right. I mean I tried. I
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: mean I feel like I didn't try to perform. Man,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: it was so hard for us black man, you know
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, especially the ones that I actually in
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: their child's right, you know. So, I mean, you proposed
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: that compromise to her where you said, I'll do this,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: but I just don't want it to be court ordered
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: through the courts, right. But yeah, but it's like it's
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: like she scared that, you know what I'm saying, when
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: should do that? Like I won't give her no money,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, even when I was even
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: when she put me on child support, when I got money,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: like the court didn't even know and at that time,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know that she put me on child support,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: and I would stood get with her money. Money is
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: not the issue. Money is not the issue. The issue
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: is just the fact that she got me in I know.
• 1:13:49

• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: five eight five one on five one. If you need
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: relationship advice here ye Now it's the breakfast Club, Go Morning,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: Coma keep for real what you get some real advice
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: with Angela. Ye, it's ask Ye Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomie,
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: Nick Guy. We all the breakfast Club in the middle
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: of ask ye Hello, who's this? Hey Katie? Hey Katie,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: what's your question for ye? So I recently got out
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: of a ten year relationship and it was very unhealthy
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: for me and my kids. And towards the end of
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: that relationship, I met someone and he was more of
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: a friend and now it's turned into more than that.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: But he's been hurt, so he's kind of like not
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: able to receive you, as I guess, And he's showing
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: that it's too soon for me to love him or
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: too soon for me to try to have a relationship
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: again after getting hurts. So he's saying he doesn't want
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: to be in a relationship. You guys are just dating
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: right now? Right, Like in a sense, you know how
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: you can everything that someone does shows love or shows
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: compassion or whatever, like the way that he treats me
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: or the things that he says shows more than just dating. Right,
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: So he's treating you like you guys are in a relationship,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: but he doesn't want to make that commitment. Right. Well,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: first of all, I always feel like you can't force
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: people to want to be where you're at. And at
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: least he's being honest with you right about how he feels,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: and so you can accept that and then work with
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: him toward that and be patient because you've been through
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: a lot as well. And I think sometimes when you
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: know you're getting out of a ten year relationship and
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: you are used to being with somebody on a level
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: that you guys are in something and that's your comfortable space.
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: But you have to understand that everybody's not moving at
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: the pace that you might want to move. Right So
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: I continue to be who I am and you know,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: show that I care. And well, I don't think you
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: should ever not be who you are. That's important, and
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: I think you should continue to show that you care.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: But you and you should also express where you want
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: to be in your relationship. So you should let him know, Look,
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: this is what I would like, this is how I
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: feel about you. Now you're telling me that right now,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: You're not in this space to be able to receive that.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: This is not what you want right now, and so
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: I know I can't force that, and you know you
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: should see how does he want to proceed? Is he
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: fine with things just the way that they are with
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: you guys acting like you're in a relationship and not
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: being in one. Is he fine with that? Well, he
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: makes it seem like, you know, there's something to work towards.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: It's never been like, Okay, we're doing this and it's
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: not going anywhere. But once it's like once you tell
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 1: him that you care, he pulls away a little bit.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: And how long has it been going on? Seven months now, Okay, yeah,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, it takes people a long time. Like
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: he's been through some things where he has trust issues.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: Has he gotten any professional help, um, not that I
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: know of. I know that he's been out of a
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: relationship for three years and pretty much been single. So
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: I think that he's more learning himself now than he
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: is worried about, you know, like commitment, right, And I
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 1: think that's fine. He tells me I need to do right,
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: and he probably is also a little nervous because you
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: are coming off of a ten year relationship, so he
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: doesn't want to be a rebound situation and then get
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: his feelings hurt. Right. I think you just have to
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: be patient, and I think you should continue to show
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: him the love that you show him. He treats you well. Right,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. Is he seeing other people? No? And
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: you guys have had that conversation and he doesn't intend
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: to and doesn't want to, right, Okay. I think that
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: you just have to be a little more patient and
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 1: understanding of a situation. He's probably also a little nervous
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: about you, and he wants to make sure that you're
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: serious because, like I said, he might look at it like, well,
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: she's really comfortable being with someone they did just break up.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: It was ten years. That's a long time. I don't
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: want to make myself vulnerable. And until he feels like
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: he can make that happen, you know, I think is
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: probably difficult for him as well. And so sometimes people
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: also are scared of just saying that they're in a relationship,
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: even though they act like they are too. Right, you know.
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: So I think that if you're happy right now with
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: everything else except you don't have that title, then I
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: think it's worth you pursuing this further as long as
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: he's treating you really well right now and you feel
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: like he in his head is working towards that he's
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: just not there yet. Yeah, I do. Okay, Well, enjoy
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: it all right, I appreciate it, no problem, Katie, good luck?
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: All right? Ask ye eight hundred five eight five one
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: oh five one? Now you got rooms on the way? Ye? Yes.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: And since we're talking relationships, let's talk about somebody who
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: says that when she first met her now husband, she
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: thought he was arrogant, and now look at where they are.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: All Right, we'll get into that next. Don't move. It's
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: the breakfast club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club's Tea. This
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: Alicia Keys is on the cover of in Style magazine,
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: and one thing that she talked about in her interview
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: was how when she first, well, before she started dating Swiss,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: she thought he was just arrogant. She said she had
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: read an interview where he talked about writing many of
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: his best songs in ten minutes, and she herself, it's
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: been days obsessing over every core progression. So she told
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: her friend, of course, he does his songs in ten minutes.
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: Have you heard his songs? But then the two of
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: them eventually right, and she said, we got in the studio,
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: she started working together. She said, we literally made a
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: song in ten minutes, and I was like, ah ish,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: She said it his style wasn't about haste or carelessness,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: but inspiration and tapping into a place that's all feeling
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: and emotion and spirit. So that's when they started dating.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: It clearly worked. Ten minute man, switch Beach, I don't
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: think it was like like that one the ten minute Man.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: She said. I also began to understand that my humility
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: was sometimes a mask for self worth issues. I would say, Oh,
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: I don't need much. I only need a little bit,
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 1: and I'm fine that I was kind of cutting off
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: my blessings. But I started to recognize I have this wrong.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: So she said, they have a tradition where they try
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 1: to outspoil each other with extravagant surprises on their birthdays.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: And she said, I can remain totally humble, but I
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: don't have to cut off the wonderful things that I deserve.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: That's dope. That's a great way of thinking of it.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: And you should spoil a person that you wi you
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: love them? Why not? All right? Now? Another relationship Knews
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: STEVIEJ says that he and Faith are still together even
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: though she had gotten arrested for a domestic violence and
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: he set the reconstrate about things. He said, that's my
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: wife and I love her. I'm not going anywhere. God's
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: got us. And there's video of them and she's like
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: all mine. So looks like the two of them. Whatever
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: happened back then, we don't know what went down, but
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: they are still together for people who thought maybe they weren't. Now,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: Sephora Has says they will dedicate fifteen percent of shelf
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: space for black owned brands, and they're taking that pledge.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 1: They're the first major retailer in the US to take
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: the fifteen percent pledge. That's a movement that started earlier
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 1: this month with demonstrate rations after the death of George
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: Floyd in a national conversation about race inequality. So that
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: pledge calls on Saphora, Target Hole Foods, and shop Bop
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: to make that commitment. Now, the person who actually created
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: that is Aurora James, and she's the creative director of
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: a Brooklyn based accessory company called Brother Velly. She said
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: it's about a long term commitment to the black community. Starbucks,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: in the meantime, is closing up to four hundred stores
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: to try to shift to a more takeout strategy. So
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: they're going to do that over the course of the
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: next eighteen months in the US and in Canada, and
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: at the same time they'll be adding carry out and
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: pick up locations. Only makes sense, and the CEO of Twitter,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: Jack Dorsey, says that they're going to make Juneteenth an
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: official company holiday for their US workers. So that's going
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: to happen. Well, we don't work at Twitter, but we should.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: Well we could, we could take off we could take off.
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: We could definitely take off. I think it's on a
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, no June, Yeah, a Friday, Friday, So that'll
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: be um something that they do for all of his companies.
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 1: He has Square, you know, Twitter and so forth. So
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: he said, we will do the work to make those
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: dates company holidays everywhere where we are present. All right.
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: And last, oh and Iggy Iggy Azelia has confirmed that
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: she has a son. Everybody who is talking about when
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: she was pregnant, and you know she's with Playboy Cardie.
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: So now she has finally confirmed the news. She wants
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: people to know it wasn't a secret. She said, I
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: kept waiting for the right time to say something, but
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: it feels like the more time passes, the more I
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: realize I'm always going to feel anxious to share news
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: that giant with the world. I want to keep his
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: life private, but I wanted to make it clear he's
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: not a secret and I love him beyond words. So
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: that's your child. You have the right to announce whatever
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: you want whenever you want, exactly drop on a clues
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: bomb for young Iggy Azelia. It's fine, Yeah, congratulations to him,
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: all right, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: Ye're not going to talk about the trouble that we
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: got into yesterday. Trouble oh, interviewing wressell rooms. If we
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: get in trouble, I'll just say listen. I mean, people
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 1: were upset. But here's the thing I just want to
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: say to every single one of those young ladies. They
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: have the right to be heard. They have the right
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: to be listened to. They have a whole documentary out
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: on HBO Max what's the name of the documentary on
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: the record, on the record. I've seen them do interviews
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 1: a few places. They are free to come to the
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, even though no publicists reached out to us
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 1: to book them. Okay, but if they did, we wouldn't
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: deny him, because clearly we don't deny anybody, all right,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: And if you would like, yeah, normally your publicists reaches
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: out or sometimes people reach out themselves to our producer.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: But a lot of times it also happens where my
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: booking email is on my all of my social media pages,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: so people can email there. And if any of the
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: women want to come on, and I said this while
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: we were off there yesterday, we should have them on
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: the show, but we didn't reach out to Russell Simmons
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: for him to come on. They reached out to us,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: and that's how it happens most of the time with
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: our guests, so we are ninety five percent of the
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: time it's a PR person or publicists from the artists.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: Artists themselves reach out. Okay, Russell Simmons, PR reached out
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: and of course we would have russ on. Why because
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: he has allegations. He hasn't been charged with anything, he
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: hasn't been convicted of anything. It's allegations and there's always
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: two sides to every story. The same way they can
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: tell that story those young ladies, Russell can tell his
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: story and media outlets would definitely have him on. Oprah
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: would talk to Russell Simmons, Gayle King would talk to
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: Russell Simmons, CNN, MSNBC would talk to Russell Simmons because
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: that's what media outlets do. So yes, if any of
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: those women want to come on Breakfast Club, they can
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: interviewing Somebody's not a co sign for them either. By
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: the way people were saying, oh, would yall have interviewed
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein? Absolutely, I would love to hear what he
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: has to say about everything, because I also think that
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: what he says, some people look at it and say, okay,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 1: he did that. Some people might look at it and
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: be like, Okay, I can understand where however you look
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: at it, you look at it, But it's not us
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: trying to say he's innocent. That's definitely not what that's
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: about at all. Ye yee. I don't know about Harvey
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: I would be here for I don't know. I don't
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: know if I would want to interview Harvey Weinstein. He's
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: been convicted, He's even admitted his guilt, right, I think,
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think you ever know. You
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: never know what people might say, though, and people say
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: things that incriminate themselves all the time in an interview.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, when people criticize Oprah for
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: not interviewing Harvey, she said she wanted to when reached out,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: but he wouldn't do any interviews. That is true. I
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: remember that because I remember his law I think his
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: lawyer did an interview with Oprah or something like that,
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: with Gail or somebody. His lawyer talked to either Gail
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: all Oprah. I'm not sure. I don't know if I
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: would snap down with Harvey. I don't know. Russell's a
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: little different because of Russell's background in hip hop and
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: the fact that you know, it's just allegations. You know,
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: he hasn't been charged, hasn't been charged, he hasn't been arrested,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: he hasn't been convicted. Yeah, well, anyway, I don't know.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: All right, listen, once again, those women are more than
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: welcome to come. But you you pall got to reach out.
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: We didn't reach out to Russell. You can. They can
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: reach out that right. If you don't have a publicist,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: reach out, but send an email or even a DM
• 1:27:13
