  Speaker 1: annoying weekend. I had to like break up my girlfriend
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and stuff because she said she couldn't really trust me.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I had went to a movie twice with doctor Strange
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and I ain't see it with her and I ain't
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: real to tell us about to do. She was kind
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of mad about that. Well, you take your queen with
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you to think that strange, bro, because you don't understand
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: it like our people, man, Like I just want to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: watch it, understand it and then she gonna has questions
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and then I'll be able to, you know, talk to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: her and do all this stuff. But you know, she
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: just felt like just because I ain't lying, right, No,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: it is lying. And I tell you something, if you
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: went to if you was gonna go see it twice, anyway,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you might as well have made one of those times
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: with her. So I'm the first one. That's why I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: had to go back again. YEA a little shaky. What
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. She thought I was
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: playing around, And I'm like, I can understand that you
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: went to the movie twice, didn't tell it? How do
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you What were you doing during that time that you
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: just don't mention that? Well I was? She well, she
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: had hit me up. I'll just saying I was chilling, right,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you say nothing, that's all. I'll just say I was chilling.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Why didn't you tell her? I don't understand. I do
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: agree with you, that's not I do agree. That's not
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a movie you go see you with a casual, casual
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: comic book fan. But now you that turned it into
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a big deal. She thinks it, but it's not though.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: That's the thing, like, I feel like I should be
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: able to go see a movie without having to explain myself.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: We're not married. You can't you right, but you should
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: have told about myself. Nobody said that you had to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: explain it. But if you just were missing for a
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: few hours to just say, hey, mom going to the
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: movie to see this, this kind of musically came up
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and became my away from me on the plot was
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that j Drakes at the bar man coming up a
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: conversation and he's like, oh, well you are. Now, how
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: come your boy knew that and your girl didn't. If
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: it's not a big deal. Your boy was trying to
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: be funny. And by the way, it's only a violation
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: if it's to show a movie that both of y'all enjoy.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Like you know, that's when you feel like somebody did
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: something wrong. Like my wife watches those ark. I don't
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: watch those ARK. I don't care if she watches but
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you think it was weird and she just went to
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the movies and just never mentioned it to you, and
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: then you found out from one of her friends. But
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: it seemed a little weird. Well, I mean, I guess,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: but not really if she you know, if I feel
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: like if she wanted it, you know, not really a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: big deal. But I just feel like you can go
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: to yourself if you don't gotta tell me every movie, la,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: just like I just want to say, I just want
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: to say, you gotta look at it from her point
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: of view. Two And I don't think it's anything worth
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: breaking up over. But it's probably a bigger conversation you're saying,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I don't gotta tell you every movie I make. Dadada
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: da da. You know she probably just want you how
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: to communicate. Nobody's saying you gotta something small like I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: went to the store. Bet you went to the movies twice.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: They broke up though, So get it off your chest
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: eight hundred five eight five one on five one. If
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you need to hit us up now, it was the
• 8:08

• 8:49
  Speaker 1: you guys thoughts about that? What do you think thoughts
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: on what? It's two different topics. I mean, the new
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: allegation was that, you know, they were receiving money from
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: some secret donors, but then it was the and his
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: own things, So what are you talking about? Which one

  Speaker 1: she just shows the documentation, But for whatever reason, she's not,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: so I don't know. Now I gotta research it more.

• 9:22
  Speaker 1: bought at home that was going to be like some
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: headquarters for Black Lives Matters things to take place. I
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: thought it was a couple. I don't know sure, I

• 15:12
  Speaker 1: somewhere of that verse also. But didn't change me staring
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: down the barrel with a gun. Should I feel resentful

  Speaker 1: love it man speakers gracious speaking from the perspective of
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Nipsey from the afterlife, Like what if Nipsey spirit really
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: used Kendrick to convey that message that really made you
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: feel something right there? Absolutely? I love the part where
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: he most in the Will Smith too, and he says
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: in the land where hurt people hurt people, f calling
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: that culture. I love that because I said from the beginning,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: when I saw Will do what he did to Chris,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: all I saw with Will, you know, bleeding on someone
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: who didn't didn't cut him. He was a hurt person
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: who hurts somebody, So I like, I love that Kendrick
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: did that as well. And I just loved the era
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: we in where artists can release the content they want
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: how they want and everybody else has to adjust to
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: their art. Yeah. I love that. But the video got
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: taken down, so we're not sure why. You know, maybe
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: you did in himself. Maybe no, No, I mean it's
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: on his page, so we don't know. Yeah, what what's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: going on? I was gonna ask if you somebody liked
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: this like that, do you got to clear it? I
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: have no idea, but because it's damnated in face and
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I mean so just I mean five million people, five
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: plus million people already saw it just on his page,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: so telling how many people saw it around the world,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and everybody's reposting it. He got what he needed out
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: of it, and usually the hearts aren't on the album anyway.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: So right, all right, Well, this final album on Top
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Dog Entertainment is going to be coming out on Friday,
• 17:05

• 17:17
  Speaker 1: a compilation of some sorts, right, but we're really excited
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: for that, man, Kendrick. That's probably gonna be the biggest
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: album of the year, like the hip hop don't you think?
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I think so comes out because the way this has
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: gotten teased has been a while since he put out
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: an album, Damn was in twenty seventeen. Well, I think
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Future is the biggest release so far this year period. Yeah,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: but the now Bad Bunny is about to be the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: biggest release so far this year hip hop. I feel
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: like Kendrick could take I think so, I don't know.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I mean Future for hip hop too, but I'm saying
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Kendrick's gonna be the biggest release period. Yeah. Yeah, I'm
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: just saying the last two releas that came out, the
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: last three releases that came out, Future and Bad Bunny
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: have been the biggest releases of the year. So I'm
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: sure Kindrick trump both of those. All right, well that

  Speaker 1: on her by Mavericks fans and his wife was also pushed.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: He actually witnessed the incident, and he said his family
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: felt very unsafe over what happened. He tweeted out one
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of five players for saying stuff to the fans. But
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: the fans could put their hands on our families ftat
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I think that. Can you imagine how mad
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you would be? No, I wouldn't be. I couldn't imagine that.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm surprised he didn't jump in the stands
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: and really throw some people around, like try like Metal
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: World peace. He tried, you put your hands on my mother. Now,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: he tried my wife. He tried in front of my kids.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: He tried. He tried. If I'm on his team and
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: we all team remembers, we all jumping in there, whatever,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: we take the suspension. You don't put no hands on
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: somebody's mother. Hou was his mother eighty years old? He tried,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: and I don't know if she's eighty, but he tried,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: and they grabbed him and he told the toad, I'll
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: see you later. He said, I'll see you later. We
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: should have played that all but yeah. Now, the Dallas
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Mavericks said they are aware of an incident between a
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: fan and the family of Chris Paul and they reported
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: that his family had been harassed by fans some of
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: the crowd made physical contact with them. The Mavericks said
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: in a statement it was unacceptable behavior and will not
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: be tolerated. They Mavericked, along with the American Airlines Center,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: swiftly removed the fan from today's game. He should have
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: been arrested. He put hands on too. They definitely get
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: arrested for that. You put your hands on my mother
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: on Mothers Day, had a game all betched off. He
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: was a little young kid too. I seen him look
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: like a little long teen or young king. What makes
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you think that's acceptable behavior? But rasting someone's family the
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: era that we live in where everybody so desensitized everything,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: and you know, people just don't have any empathy or
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: sympathy for nobody. All right. Now, man in Indiana who
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: was with the murder and the death of his wife.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: His wife had cancer and recently filed for a divorce,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: has now won a local primary election Republican primary election.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: While he is behind bars His name is Andrew Willhoit
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: forty Lebanon. He's charged with felony murder, accused of killing
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: his wife, Elizabeth Nicki Willhoit forty one, in March. He
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: allegedly hit her in the head with a blunt object
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: and dumped her body at a nearby creek in March,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and autopsy determined the manner of death to be homicide.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: He's being held without bond, but he did, however, advance
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: in the Republican primary election for one of three open
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: seats on the Clinton Township Board. I'm intrigued to hit
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: what he was campaigning on. What was his pol I
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: don't understand that. But despite the charges against him, he
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: is legally allowed to run. A person is disqualified from
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: being a candidate for elected office if he's convicted at
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a jury or bench. Charler and a guilty plea hearing
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: either he's really good or a person he was running
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: against is really trash. That no. I got to hear more.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I got to hear more. I need to hear more.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I need to hear exactly what he was saying to
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: people to make them buy into this now. His wife
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: was reported missing on March twenty fifth, after she failed
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: to report to work. She had filed from divorced on
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: March seventeenth, just one week prior to her death, according
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to court records. Now our friend of hers said that
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: she had just finished her last chemotherapy treatment for breast
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: cancer before she was killed, and they said, according to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: court documents, at first he had lied to detectives about
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: what happened to his wife. He later told investigators that
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: he and his wife were fighting outside of the house
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: when he hit her in the head with a flower
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: pot then drove her body to the creek. That's horrible,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: but also, this is America. Is so crazy? Is the
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: country that we're all right now? Tennessee will soon strictly
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: regulate the dispensing of abortion pills, including imposing harsh penalties
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: on doctors who violate them. That measure was signed on Thursday,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: and it will go into effect on January first. Once
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: and acted, a medical clinician will be required to physically
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: present when abortion pills are administered to a patient, even
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: though federal regulations now allow mail delivery. Nation Why this
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: issue is bigger than roversus Wade because right now there's
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: nineteen states that have placed strict restrictions on accessing medication abortion. Now,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: under this Tennessee version, delivery of abortion pills by mail
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: would be outlawed, and anybody who wanted to use abortion
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: pills will be required to visit a doctor in advance
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and then return to pick up the pills. So they're
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: saying these drugs can only be dispensed by qualified physicians,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: which would include barring pharmacists from doing so. But some
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: people are saying, according to law experts, it's an unsettled
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: question whether states can restrict access to abortion pills, because
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: that is a federal issue. More So, I know this
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: is something that they've been working on in anticipation, an
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: anticipation of ROVERSUS Wade being overturned. The use of abortion
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: pills has been rising in the US for over twenty
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: years now. Once they approve that that's so rather than surgery,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: people will use those pills. So we'll see what happens.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: But that is something that people were saying is a
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: loophole with all of these restrictions on abortions. All right, Well,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: that is your front page news, all right. Now, when
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: we come back, Ja Rule will be joining us. He
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: stopped through Friday to have a conversation. Of course. He
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: did a Mother's Day show yesterday at the Garden. It
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: was him, Fat Joe, Little Mole, Ashanti and Remy Marsh.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: He's been doing these Vibes concerts. He did Ray KWin
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: and ghost Face, so they look pretty dope, all right,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk to him when we come back. It's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody

• 25:20
  Speaker 1: We ain't and you just gotta keep your feet moving
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: like a running back. But about the documentary that you
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: guys have coming out, that's going to probably reignite a
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: lot more too. You know the doc do you know,
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: um how evolved the Yeah every day, No, I got
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: a credit When things like that happened. It does get
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: people like more in music streaming and then it does
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: ignite like maybe the younger generation didn't know that didn't time.
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I hope it does that. You know, Murder inc. We
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: had a very very big impact and hip hop. Other
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: people like to admit it or not, this is what
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: it is. And that's a fact. You know. Um In
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: in in any hip hop uh label, you're gonna have
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: beasts with in the family. You know, you're gonna have
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: your ups and downs with with projects and things of
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: that nature. Even with careers. I've seen, you know, doctor
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: Dre maybe the best to doing it, you know what
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. He had a big fallout with with NWA
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: and everybody. Oh Dred's done come back with you know
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So you know it's it's like I said,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: it's all about keep working. As long as you are
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: creative and you and you do what you do well.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: As far as creativity you know, this room always to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: to excite and bring new adventure to the to the
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: to the space. I think, I think I think your
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: music aged very well. That's another reason. It's probably like
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: a resurgence. Like all of you can listen to all
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: of those records right now, always on time. Put it
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: on me all. It's crazy you say that, Charlotte, because
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: some of them. I'm not gonna say some of it.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: But I make records conscious consciously like that, Like I
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: don't like to date my records. I don't like to
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: put you know, two many cars, references and references of
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: you know, you know when you talk about relationships and
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: stuff like that, it's timeless. You know, people always gonna
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: be in love and you know, always want to get
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: you a new hot chick or whatever the case may be.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: That that kind of stuff never really dies out. It

  Speaker 1: I don't be all the stings, you know what I'm saying. So,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: but you know that's another thing I being, and I
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: made the type of records that I've made, I get
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: to sneak in on all kinds of different bags. Yeah, games,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: I want the legends of the streets store. I'm everywhere.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I can do both sides of that, you
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: know what saying me and Eric Eric about on the road,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Like you know, that's the beauty of what I created,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm able to do that in such a vast
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: you know, do you ever look back at things, and
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: maybe maybe you do when I look at Murder inc
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Right and you would a pinnacle artist of Murder inc Right,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Do you ever wish that maybe after you sold those
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: millions of records, you say, okay, I want part of it.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: I want a percentage of a Murder inc Or did
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: you have That's I'm asking? Yeah, you know, I got
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I got my little uh you know, things here and then.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: But you know, I don't like to speaker the reason.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: I think because at one time I felt like you
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: were you were the Murder Ink artists, the catalyst that
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: got so many artists held the flag. The reason why
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: I shant signed there, the reason why everybody signed it,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and me and me and got got a great situation.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: And Rockefeller like yeah, yeah owner and he was a
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: known owner. Like I just always thought like, damn, yeah,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: John should have been a known owner. Maybe it was
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: maybe I don't know, that's what I'm asking. Yeah, I
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: was more of it in the back uh owner things.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: And and that's fine too. You know what I'm saying.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: You said you don't like to speak on murder. Ain't
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: no that type or the business got you got you
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: got you. I think another reason your nake he's coming
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: up in conversation is because of the culture of the music.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: So you have all of these rappers that are doing
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: the melodies and they're singing the same things that you
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: made popular then got criticized for. So it's like I've
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: been here debating with the youngs because they'd be like, oh,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: you gotta get this person credit. I'm like, no, Jah rule, yeah, Jah,
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I started all this shit. I appreciate that. Let people
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: forget whoever did it last did it better than the
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: first in the first place. And that's just how it is.
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: And the dominance. If you've been working at black radio
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: for a long time, you understand what Murderin did. Like
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: you couldn't escape joh, you couldn't escape with you couldn't
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: escape the production. You couln't escape it. We definitely had
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: a hold on on We had a dominant moment. You know,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: everybody has that moment in hip hop. You know, somebody
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: would you know, kick the ball down the road a
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: little longer than you know what I'm saying and that
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and that's cool, you know, um, I think I think,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: you know, hip hop has grown so much now that
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: we're getting into a space where you're gonna have contemporary
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: hip hop and you should you know, there's another stage.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna speak over what they playing, just like
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: old school hip hop. Oh yeah, absolutely, there's a time
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: just now that's coming for those moments where rock made
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: that transformation. But it has to be that because it
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: has to be that. Look at the white stations and
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: they could play older No, we still do that the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: programming station, but we should be able to play Yeah,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: y'all do this with the old when we do the
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: throwback max, I mean, I hear like I'll drive from
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: time to time. In here a throwback record on the thing.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: But you know you can't listen. We all know the business.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: You got a slot of records that you're able to play.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: You gotta play the new guys. You can't throw all
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: old guys in there and just get like. It doesn't
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: work that way. So it has to be something dedicated
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: to that, right, you know what I'm saying? Because the
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: music has grown up. Like I'm forty six, I don't
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: want to listen to the same thing Little Rule listen to,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: even though it's all hip hop, is just a different
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: hip hop for me, Like I like Nas dropping the
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: album right together hip hop week, I couldn't wait. Most
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: people just listen to the music and as you grow up,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you grow with But how about having kids, right, how
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: does that affect the music you listen to? Because sometimes
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you hear your kids listening to something like Little Rules.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: He's a rapper too, Yeah, so he's not a rap. Okay,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: so he's a rapper. So let me tell you. So
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know what to categorize. The man's real because
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: he does a style of music called hyperpop and apparently
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a big underswelling community of this music
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: that I know nothing about. So I'm like, son, I
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: can't help y'all. I don't know who does this music.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know who buys this. But it's a mixture
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: between rap and rock and like ed M. So he's
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: just making music. He's making music and it's and it's
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: white and this. You know, he's he's got a deal
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: on the table from Sony and stuff like that. So yeah,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: and it's all him. He's doing this. He moved to La,
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: he's been out there on his own. Yeah. Yeah, he
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: came in. He came in. I was I was very
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: excited for him because I like to see the kids. Wife.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that she wasn't excited. She I don't think
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: she was ready. It's a difference. She was like, oh,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: here we go again. No, I don't. I don't think
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: she was ready for him to leading. You know. Yeah,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: because I said I was immediate, like, if that's what
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: you want to do, son, go ahead, and you know
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: you've grown man, now go ahead and do that. You
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. She was more like, he'll be
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: back here's and I'm like, hey, once we leave, baby,
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: we ain't trying to come back if we can stay
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: and be gone, We're not coming back. Like with men,
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We want to show that
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: we can be men on our own, and he's doing
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: that and I'm proud of him for that. Did you
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: give him any advice, like as far as legal advice,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: lawyers that stuff, you know, yes, of course when he
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: brings the contracts, I'll send them to my lawyer. You know, well,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: we'll make sure the business is done right. But as
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: far as me, you know, getting my hands dirty and
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: trying to bring him around and to no, he needs
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: to do that. He needs to be respected in the
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: industry on his own merit and then you know, then
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: you know it can it can work, Papa manage him. No,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: all right, we got more with YA rule when we
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: come back. Let's get into a JA rule. Mini Mixes
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody, this DJ Envy
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with JA Rule. Charlomagne. It was crazy.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: The first I've ever heard the term helicopter parent was
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: from our thirteen year daughter, and I didn't know what
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: it was. So she was like you. You're a helicopter parent.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I said, I'm a ufo. Oh now they got a
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: new turn. This bulldos apparents. Now really the bulldoz apparents.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: They got to move all the pieces off the ball
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: so their kids can go. Like. I'm with that too.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: I like that. I'm not with that. I like that.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not with that. You don't want to move the
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: obstacles if you can, I want to give them a
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: great headstart, And I think you've done that. You've done
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: not moving the obstacles. Moving up. Being a bulldozer is
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: like with Home Homegirls and them did buying the college
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: that's bu No matter what this is, this is going
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: They come too fast and too easy, and you don't
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: really appreciate it or you're not ready for it to
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: you gotta work. It happen to me. I understand it
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: very much like I got rich very early in life.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: I was like twenty two twenty three and I made
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: my first million hours. So it's like I made so
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: many mistakes in them buying everybody bop running around cars.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: It was just going just have just doing it, and
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: you learn from that. You know what I'm saying. You
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: did you just think that the money never stops. When
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: you're young and you're getting it like that, making fourteen
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars a year at a clip, like oh,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: you know, so you're thinking like this could never stop.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: All I gotta do go in the studio, make some
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: new hits, make some new records, and then and then
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: things happen that you could never ever back, and then
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, now I get it. You know hip hop.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I learned a lot from going through all of the beef,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: all of that. Learned so much because you learned, And
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: that's I learned in that spending time that hip hop
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: is subjective. Music is subjective. People don't have to like
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: job rule, you don't have to like whoever whatever artists
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: it's it's you know, it's your preference or ever. It's
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: a privilege to have fans and have people love you
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: and adore you. So so a young artists out there,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: just know that, Just know that this ain't promised to you.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: You're hot right now, Tomorrow they turn your lights out
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: and anybody hates you for whatever reason because you said
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: this on stage or you did you know it happened,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: did you see it happening, or was it one of
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: those things that just happened right away. It just happened.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: It was like I'm on top of the world, woke
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: up world, on top of job. You know what I'm saying, Like, dam,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I'm like where, Yeah, this is mad at me for what?
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Because I make good music and and and whatever. You know,
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: we ain't got to go down that road. But I'm
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: just saying, you know, that's what I learned. That was
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: the lesson that came out of that, Like, Okay, now
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: you got to get into other businesses, other things where
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: they don't necessarily have to like you as long as
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: you're providing a service that in product and product that
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: they the people the consumer use and it's and it's
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: valuable to them. It's different. You understand, Mark Zuckerberg could
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: do some sucking tomorrow. We ain't stop using Instagram, you
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: know what, and talk about him and he's gonna resign
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: and and go off and continue the business. It don't
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: work like that in music. I want to ask you
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: about the bulldo's a parent thing when it comes to
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the kids, right? Do you think pain is love? Absolutely?
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: That's what pain is love is all about. You know,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: people think it's the actual term of what it sounds like.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Pain is love. You know that's too simple, you know
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Pain is love about sacrifice. It's the
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: pain and the struggle and the heartache that we all
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: go through as parents so that our little ones can
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: receive the love. That's what pain is love is about.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: And keep them from going through that though, keep them
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: from going through hopefully. Yeah, You're gonna experience pain regardless.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: That's what life is about, ups and downs. You know
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: what I'm gonna ask you now that you have Icon, right,
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you what are some things that
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: you learn from Fire then moving on to starting this company. Yeah,
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: that was a that was a big learning lesson too.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I learned to be very hands on with
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: everything that I'm doing. You know, Um, with Icon, I'm
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: very very hands on everything. Like even with the Vibes concerts,

• 38:04
  Speaker 1: you don't know, ye like dumb. Yeah, because even things

• 38:11
  Speaker 1: of valuable lessons to me. Yeah, it was. So it
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: was a very valuable lesson that I learned. And you know,

• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Harvard thing that they, you know, actually put out there

• 39:34
  Speaker 1: to to to build their startups. No, people don't understand.

• 42:20
  Speaker 1: to pick one, I'm mad. I don't know. I feel

• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the rooms. Let's talk. Drag man, you
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: are right, he report, Angela Yean the breakfast club. All right, Well,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Drake was at the Kentucky Derby with Jack Harlow. It
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: looks like they were having a great time. I saw
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Drewski was there as well, and they were there to
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: reportedly film a music video for Jack Carlo's new Churchill
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: Downs track. Obviously Drake is on that song too. You know.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: He just put out Come Home the Kids Miss You
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: album and Drake actually bombed his interview. Came in while
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Jack Carlo was doing an interview. Didn't want the interview
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: to end. Hey, what's it? What's it like for you
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: to get to see the hometown kid here and everybody
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: loving so much? You know, I'm so proud of this guy,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: and and we're drunk. He's so I'm drunk. I'm the
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: one who only happy Jack. Yeah, honestly, I like it.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: I wanted to put somebody off. I wasn't a happy Aubrey.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: We run that too. Can't give him the wrapping up signally?
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: What what are you gonna cut to? Right? What are
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: you gonna ceall a shot of like worly manicured ribs
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: or something? You know? IMNA tell, I'm gonna tell, just
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: hold on, We're going home all right, so he was
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: trying to keep that interview going. Looks like they had
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: a good time. Though at the Kentucky Derby, it's in
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: drama there too. I saw Taylor Rooks was there, sat
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: out to her. Kaiser was there, So yeah, I mean,
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: clearly the Kentucky Derby's a big deal, y'all. Clearly it
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: is because Drama showed up with no hat on. Whenever
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: you see DJA Drama and DJ Clue somewhere with no
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: hat on this special occasion, you, I thought that was
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: a thing. At the Kentucky Derby, hats like fancy hats
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: and stuff. We usually the women were the fancy hats.
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Kapar fancy hats too though, right right, but using the
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby's usually the women all right, now, Wendy Williams
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: versus Sherry Shepherd, how did we get here? Well, Wendy
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Williams was talking to Fat Joe when she was talking
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: about coming back to her show. Do you miss not
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: coming to the show? Yes, I do. I wish I
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: was there. I was like there right now to talk
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: about it. But I'm glad that I'm able to talk
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: about when I come back. So is that plans for
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: a new show? Are you coming back to the Wendy
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: Williams Show? Actually, Wendy Williams Show. Absolutely, because I know
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: what they were talking about, Sherry Shepherd taking over the show.
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: I won't be watching her because she's gonna be doing
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: and that's really not my thing anyway. I love being
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: on my own show, and I love the people love
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: to watch it, you know, all of her. I wonder
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Wendy's really coming back though, because I mean we haven't
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: heard dead Ball Mercury or anybody seen it. They've heard
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: her saying it, so we don't know, right, But you know,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: Sherry Shepherd has been very respectful to Wendy and saying
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: nice things about Wendy Williams. And to be clear, I'm
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: supposed to be a takeover of the Wendy Williams Show.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: It's her own show that's different, her own new show. Yep. Yeah,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: So here's what Sherry Shepherd had to say. She's out. Well,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: so it's just a lot going on in Wendy's life.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: There was a time at the beginning of my career
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: at the View. I used to perform at Carolines and
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Wendy had a comedy night at Carolines, and we were
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: very friendly, sometimes stepped on paying out as far as friendships.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: So Wendy was very very honest and transparent. On her show,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: she would say she really wasn't trying to be friends
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: with people because it would make it hard for her
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: to talk about them. So maybe that was one of
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: the reasons why we never had a friendship, because I'm
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: I have very strong friendships and I'm definitely a woman
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: who likes to uplift other women. So all right, well,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. She stopped the rope. You said,
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: what she took the hot rope? Yeah, the rope, all
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: right now. Stevie j has apologized to Faith publicly on
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: social media. He said, Faith Rene Jordan, I've hurt you,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: disrespected you, and humiliated you in front of the world.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: From this day forward, I promised to listen to your
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: feelings and be more delicate with your heart. I also
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: promised to build you up even more and to communicate
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: deally with you, respect you, and love on you until
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: you're as happy as you were when we got married.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: I've learned my lesson and I never want to live
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: without you, because God knows I'm a better man. With you,
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: and I'm asking you to find it in your heart
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: to forgive me and allow me to rebuild our trust.
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Happy Mother's Day, I love you. Well. Perhaps the two
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: of them will work it out that. I don't know. Guys,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: they've been through a lot, very publicly, Charlemagne, did you
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: give him that advice to do that publicly? No? I didn't.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: I didn't give you the advice to do that public
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: did all here? I did not. I did not know
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: what he was actually going through. Like you should call
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: her now and apologize. I don't know if that's how
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: I went. I got to go back and listen, but
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: I definitely didn't know what interview was going through at
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: the time. But we had moved on from that, so
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: let's not go back to that space. You did bring
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: it up, I said, Stevie J I didn't say me.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: You know, we know what you are alluding to. You
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: give him that advice, You knew what you are alluding to.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: All right now, TI says that Kevin Samuel WLS is
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: being bullied and that people are ganging up on a
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: dead man. Here's what he had to say. Just seet see. Actually,
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: because I don't like y'all bullying or dead man basically
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: ganging up on her Dad man a travesty of justice.
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: I can't I can't stand it. I can't stand it.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: I ain't gonna let you out bully this did man.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: We're gonna let this man rest in peace. Whatever he did,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: he did it, and he gone. He got await with it.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: It's between him and God, him and the Lord gonna
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: have to deal with it. You ain't got no hiven
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: or no here to put him in. I mean, I
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: do think it's quite strange to which death on a
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: person just because you didn't agree with their opinion. And
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: the fact that they're saying he died of heart attack.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: It's like a heart disease is the number one killer
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: of black people, black men, and black women. So I
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: wouldn't necessarily call that calm either. Yeah, but if I
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: ain't like you when you was alive, I ain't gonna
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: like you when you're dead. There's no difference. I'm not
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: gonna change up because you die. If I don't like you,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: I don't like you. All show me. I see that
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of people didn't necessarily like Yeah. All this
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: shows me is that And I've always said this with
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Michael K. Williams past. I love to see all the
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: posts and tributes that people did to him. Had nothing
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: to do with his acting. It had everything to do
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: with who he was as a person. Regular people just
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: interact with him every day, Me, my interactions with him,
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: all of us, everybody that ever came across him. That's
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: how you want to be remembered, because you were such
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: an amazing person in life. And it just really reinforced
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: that for me because some people just didn't feel bad
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: because of their thoughts about him, their feelings about him,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: and so it just made me feel like I got
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: to make sure in life that I do great positive
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: things because you think about how you want to be
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: remembered after you pass. And yeah, I'm not saying you
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: gotta feel bad, but I'm not saying you got to
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: spike the football and make jokes either, especially because it's
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: like I said, it's it's heart disease, right, Heart disease
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: the number one killer Black people. When you run around
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: screaming carma, just you remember things like that can happen
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: to you and people you love to absolutely, but that's all.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: I'm always supposed to be a good person. I'm not
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: gonna sit here a lie. There's some people. If they die,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: they die, they die. I don't care. I don't wish anybody.
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: People die heart attack, We don't wish anybody. I would
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: never ever be like I wish this person dies. But
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: sometimes people just don't feel bad when it happens. Well,
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: I mean to me, if I have a problem with
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: you and I never liked you, when you alive, if
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: you die, you die. I don't care if it's heart attack,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: if it's car accident, if it's called crash. I don't
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: care if you've fallen a trip off a curb. If
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: I don't like you because you're a bad person, you
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: would issuing on me. If you die, you die. But
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: I do feel bad for people family members. I hate
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: that his mom had to find out on social media. Yea,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: And clearly there's people that love him, that are close
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: to him, that know him in a different way than
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: the rest of the world does. And so that's why
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: I'm always like condolences to the family members, because it's
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: not easy to lose someone. Yeah, I'm not wishing somebody
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: just because I disagree with things that come out of them.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying him I don't not saying him, but
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: I understand the way that some people feel about certain things.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: All right, well that is your rumor reports, all right,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: who are giving that down? Four after the hour? I
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: need Virgin Atlantic Airlines to come in the front of
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: the congregation. We like to have a word within place.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. It's the breakfast
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: club come morning. So breakfast club, your mornings will never
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: be the same. I teamed up with ther Tack for
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: this allergy relief message springtime bring the vibrancy to the
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: air and pollen. So I take Zyrtech when allergy symptoms start,
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: save the tissues and live vibrantly with Zyrtech. Starts working
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: at hour one and stay strong day after day. I
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: was going to donkey the donkey, but don't get that,
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Charlomne devil. Yeah, it's donkey today for Monday, made nicely.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: Make sure it's made NiFe, Yes, just made. Knife goes
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: to Virgin Atlantic Airlines. Really nice planes, okay, really nice
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: planes on Virgin Atlantic Airlines. Dropping a clube bombs with
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Virgin Atlantic Airlines. Listen, I am a proud jet Blumo,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: saying member, but Virgin Atlantic is very, very very fresh. Okay.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: I remember getting on one in those flights once and
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: it reminded me of soule play. Not because it was
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of black people on the flight, because it wasn't,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: but just how fresh the actual plane was. Okay, I
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: said to myself, this is the closest we are going
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: to get to an actual soul plane. That was great
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: when a flight, you know, looks futuristic and clean and fresh.
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: But what I care about more than anything is who
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: is flying the plane, Okay, dropping a clues bombs for
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: all the pilots out there. When I get on a flight,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: I speak to the pilots, Okay, I make sure to
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: greet the pilots and send the pilots positive energy, love
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: and light, because we don't need our pilots having a
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: bad day, all right. Do you know how crazy it
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: is that we just get on planes are any form
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: of transportation for that matter, and not speak to the
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: person who's at the helm of said form of transportation.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: You know how we say be kind to everyone you
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: meet because you don't know what folks are going through.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: That's especially true for people you are allowing to take
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: you places. Okay, you better beat you better speak and
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: be kind to that uber driver, all right. You better
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: speak and be kind to that bus driver. And you
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: damn sure better speak and be kind to that pilot.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: All right. We are fifty thousand and sixty thousand feet
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: in the air. I am entrusting you to get us
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: to our destination safely. I need you to feel worthy,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: all right, mister missus pilot. I need you to feel loved,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: valued and appreciated. Mister and missus pilot. I am trusting
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: you with my life, my family's life, and everybody else
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: on this plane as you feel the same. Okay. Not
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: only do I speak to the pilot and everyone who
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: works on the flight, I pray for them, Okay. When
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: I sit down in my seat and before take off,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: I pray for the pilot, everybody, and I pray for
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: everybody who works on the flight, okay, and everyone on
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: the flight, I pray we all get to our destination
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: safely and soundly. And this is why today's donkey or
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: to day hurts, okay, because when we get on these flights,
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm ditting all these eyes and crossing these teas,
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: and you know, asking my God to get us where
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: we need to be. Safely because I want the best
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: possible outcome. But it is the airline thinking about that
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: in regards to us. Does the airline care if we
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: get to where we need to be safely? Does the
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: airline care about who's flying the planes? I'm sure they do.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: But a Virgin Atlantic flight heading the JFK, you know,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: an NYC coming from London, had to learned back to
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: London and it was the airline's fault. It was Virgin
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: Atlantic's fault. What reason does the airline have to turn
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: back around? What was the plane lan gas if somebody
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: could get to fill it up? Was it a mechanical issue?
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Is a pilot sick? Well, let's go to Yahoo financed
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: to see what the hell happened. An interesting story here,
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: a Virgin Atlantic flight had to turn around fourteen minutes
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: into the journey because the first officer hadn't completed this
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: point in le assessment. Captain who was flying with him
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: didn't have the designated trainer status in order to fly
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: with them. Now this is information that would have been
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: very helpful before they got on the plane. You think
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: a Virgin talked this out to a Rostering eerr, But
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: if you were one of these passengers on that London
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: to New York flight were rivally three hours late because
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: of this. That's probably not much comfort. A rostering era,
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: a rostering era. In my first book, Black Privilege, go
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: get that if you haven't. But in my first book,
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: I have a chapter call put the Weed in the bag,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: and it's based off the classic scene in Belly when
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Tommy and Sincere are bagging of weed and basement and
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: wise and locked the too young and say I'm tired
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: of this school stuff. We're ready to quit and get
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: money with y'all. And DMX says put the weed in
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: the back first, and didn't get money. The way I
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: interpret that is simple. You can't escape the process. Okay,
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: you can't skip steps. You just can't imagine somebody about
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: to do major heart surgery on you and you find
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: out they haven't finished whatever test or requirements they supposed
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: to and aren't even qualified yet to be holding this
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: capital and cutting you open. And these people on this flight,
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: these pilots, they aren't even new. You heard the news report.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: The first officer I read joined the company in twenty seventeen,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: and it's qualified in accordance with UK's flight regulations. But
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: needed to complete the airlines in turn on final assessment flight,
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: and the flight's captain, who's highly experienced and has been
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: with Virgin Atlantic for seventeen years, did not have the
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: designated trainer status. Okay, so the first officer was replaced
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: with a new pilot. I don't even really know what
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: any of that means, Okay, I just know they shouldn't
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: have been flying that plane, all right. And if I
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: was on that plane and they told me the pilot
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: had to fly back because he didn't pass the final
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: assessment test, I would have had a panic attack, all right.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: I would have had a straight up anxiety attack. I
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: would have been running for the emergency door. Okay. Therefore,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: everybody on this flight, and my mind is entitled the compensation,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: all right. You don't know the stress, emotional pain and
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: suffering something like that could cause. Therefore, I need more
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: than free flights and points for this type of stress, okay,
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: s k R E S S stress. All right. Look,
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: you gotta climb the steps, people. You can't skip them,
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: all right. Today's society wants to skip the process, and
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I don't like that. Okay. I need the professionals doing
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: what professionals do. And I don't care how qualified they
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: say you are. If you haven't taken the final test,
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: well then you are not all the way qualified. Okay,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: this is one of those times I don't want no Virgin. Okay,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be in on the airline called Virgin. Nope.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be the one to pop your chario. Okay.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: I want qualified professionals who have passed every test, all right.
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: I want slut airlines or airlines, not virgins. Okay. When
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: I'm on I'm in the air, I need experience, right,
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: Please give Virgin Atlantic Airlines the sweet signs of the hamiltones.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: Oh no, you are the dogee of the day, do
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: Gee oh the day. Ye Maybe I missed it. But
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: how did they know mid air that he didn't have
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: his pop proper qualification? I don't know. I ain't get
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: all that. Was it just a conversation like we're talking
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: to the other pilot like, hey, where'd you go to school?
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: No idea, But somebody could turn around in the middle
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: they said it was a roster aarra, so somebody might
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: have double checked the roster and was like, oh wait
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: a minute. We sent the wrong person already in the row.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: How did the pilot and I say, like, you know,
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I don't have the proper qualifications. Turn back around, turn
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: back around, buddy. All right, well, thank you for that
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, Mark
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: Lamont Hill will be joining us. We go when him.
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: When we come back, he got a new book. What's
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: the name of it. It's called Seen An Unseen Technology
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Social Media in the Fight for Racial Justice. Balk Lamont
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: Hill and Todd Brewster, all right, we're gonna talk to
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: him when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, Come morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee,
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: a special guest in the building, Mark Lamont Hill. Welcome
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: than good to be here. Good to see all the
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: real life. Last time I was on, I'm good man,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: just grinding. Man. You know, it's been a crazy year.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Got real sick in the fall, had blood clots and
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: my heart attack. It was real. Yeah. All came from
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: a rupture to killers playing ball and uh, I mean
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: literally almost died and yeah man, yeah, so it's been
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: like just the recovery trying to eat better, trying to
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: live better, you know, just be healthier. So I'm good,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: you know, breaking that down from a basketball injury, blood
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: clots in a heart attack. Yeah, so like it happens
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: a lot where like you get old, you old, you
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: get you rupture your achilles. So I wasn't even doing
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: nothing special. I just took one dribble to the right.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: I felt something popping my leg. Thought I got hit.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Actually I thought I got shot because I was playing
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: in a certain neighborhood. Yeah. I was in the hood
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: play and it was like it was like me and
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: a couple, like my young boy and somebody else were
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: just playing and I was like, if this is a
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: real bad way to die forty two. But it wasn't.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: I was good, right. I turned around so nobody was there.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: Went to the hospital. They told me it was a
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: completely rupture. About three weeks later, I started getting shortness
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: of breath. I thought it was just because I was
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: hopping around the house. Um, it wasn't that. And then
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I was typed. I was working on the book and
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: I went to the bathroom and I couldn't breathe. The
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: room was spinning, and I like passed out on the
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: bathroom floor, woked myself up, like I don't know how, honestly,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: crawled down the steps, got to the ambulance. They said,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: if I got there just a little bit, a little
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: bit later, I probably would have died. Yeah, called nine
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: one for you, something one for myself. Yeah, yeah, Yeah.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: It was crazy, man. So you know, I was very lucky.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: Had blood class covering all my whole left lung, almost
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: all of my right lung and uh yeah, damn. And
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: that all came from an Achilles. From Achilles, I had
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: deep I had a DVT right so basically a clock
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: in my leg that rolls up to my to my lungs.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: And I didn't notice it right away because you know,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: I just didn't notice it, and I didn't have some
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: of the symptons you normally have. And yeah, and it
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: happens to a lot of people. Kevin Durant, he told
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: me that. He said that after he repres Achilles, that's
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: the thing he was most terrified of, and so he
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: was constantly like looking at it, getting a check. So
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: what's the treatment for it? None, you can really do.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, they pulled the clots out. I was in
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: the hospital for few days and pulled the clots out.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: And after that, if I take blood thinners, I may
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: have to take him for the rest of my life.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: But that's okay. That's a small price to pay and
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: still be here. To be here, Yeah, I'm good. Happy
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: you're here, My brothers, and you got the new book
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: Scene and Unseen, and I love the topic you tackle
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: in this book. You talk about visual media and Howard
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: shifting the narrative on race and reignited the push towards justice.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: So do you think social media is I guess you
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: think social media is helping or hurting. That's a good question.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: I always say social media takes people who should be
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: closer together and pulls them apart. Like you might be
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: with your family and everybody on their cell phone, or
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: you might be on accouch with your lady or your
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: partner whoever, and you're both doing something different. You know
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: that pulls people apart. But then you have people who
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: are far apart who should be far apart. When you
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: argue with that that troll, or like my man another
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: day arguing with drink. Yeah that was a heart help,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: but right you end up people who you shouldn't even
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: be engaging it pulls you closer to them. And so
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: that's that's the danger of it. But there's a way
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: that it helps us organized. Man, we wouldn't be talking
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: about George Floyd. We wouldn't have went down in Ferguson
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: if it wasn't for social media and technology. Like you said,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: somebody film that and then everybody had a chance to
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: actually see what happened, rather than try to recount something
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: that happened from witnesses that were there. Now you have
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: the film. Now you have a whole society of people
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: that are able to witness and visually, there's no way
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: you don't feel something right from watching that. Yes, and
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: the thing is and this is what we're tackling the book.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: It's not new. We've always used technology that way. We
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: just have better technology now. So think about Rodney King, right,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: that was a stroke of Look, I mean, the odds
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: are getting somebody getting there behind beat by the police
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: with a cam coort. You don't remember the big campor
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: you needed to tape. You need to make sure the
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: tape was clean, put the tag, you know, little Apron
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: and Janet to make sure you know you can record over.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: You needed all those things that happened in the instant
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: that somebody's getting beatn Now everybody can pull off the phone.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: But that moment changed the conversation because all of a sudden, America,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: especially white America, couldn't say they didn't know. But that
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: wasn't the first time. Look at Martin Luther King when
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: we got beat on the Pettis Bridge fighting for trying
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: to get voting rights, and doctor King said, y'all aren't
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: going to beat us in the dark anymore. Y'all aren't
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: gonna beat us in the woods at Alabama, y'all not
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: gonna beat us in private. We're gonna make all of America.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: We're gonna sit on this bridge and show the viciousness
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: of white supremacy. And so now the social media was
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: even the news. The technology was the news camera. You
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: know when Emmett till Is killed Jet magazine, that when
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: Emmettill's faces on Jet magazine, that's the media. Yeah, America
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: has done that too, you you know better than me.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: But the Vietnam War, when they started showing the images
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: of the Vietnam War to get people riled up about
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: like no, this this is an unjust war. Exactly when
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: people saw those bodies and people whose bodies they thought
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: were mournable, because black bodies aren't mournable in this country
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: unless it's something gruesome. But when they started seeing their
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: next door neighbors, when they started seeing their kids, their students,
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: their friends, when they started seeing them dying in this war, now,
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: they said, we got to stop this thing. So so
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: black people have always been tactical about how we use
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: media and technology, especially, and now because everybody has access
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: to everybody has, it's much easier to do. In the
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: first chapter, you talk about the spectacles of death, and
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: you start off with the why. What is the why?
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a good question because if you would
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: have asked me five years ago what the moment for
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: this generation was, I would have said it was Mike Brown.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: I couldn't imagine anything bigger than Mike Brown laying on
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: campfield for three and a half minutes. You'd ask me
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: before that, I would have said it was it was
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Martin. Right, we were all organized for that, right.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: But this is the moment, absolutely, this is the moment,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: and the why of it is well, partly because America
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: had to sit there and look at it, right with
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: Mike Brown. We had testimony, we had stories, we had theories,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: you know, a trade by Martin. We had George Zimman,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: who we knew was racist, but but it was still different. Right,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: America had to sit there in a pandemic when we
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: weren't leaving, we were all in our houses, we had
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: our phones out, and we had to sit there for
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: nine minutes, more than nine minutes, and watch George Floyd
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: be executed. White people can't pretend anymore. They White people
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: like to pretend, They like to be innocent, They like
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: to act like this thing ain't real. But when somebody's
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: dying in front of you, and with the knee on
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: the neck too, there's no tussle, there's no battle, there's
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: no one. What if he had a knife, what would
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: if he was running? What if if he had a
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: gun in this car? You can't say any of that
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: because it's right in front of you, broad daylight, broad daylight.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: And he didn't do nothing, you know, I mean, at
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: worst you could say he passed the twenty. That ain't
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: worth dying for it to do is bring up his
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: pass and say, well he was this, he was that.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: And the media, certain media outlets will run with things
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: like that, and then you see that on social media too. Yeah,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: this guy was no hero, that's one thing. And he's
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: not We wrote that in a book. He's not a hero,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: but he is a martyr, right. I don't have to
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: be a hero to not die. And that's the thing
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: that they try to tell He got weed and it
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: says who done that? Weed in the system? Like the
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: rules they make up, you know what I'm saying. It's
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen in my life.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: They go to your suspension records, they talk about what
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: you did in kindergarten. They talked about I mean with
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Mike Brown, he stole a cigaretta, he stole a blunt
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: out the store. Darren Wilson didn't even know he stole
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: a blunt out the store when he killed him. But
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: even if he did, you don't get the electric chair
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: for that. You don't get a lethal injection for that.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: You don't get executed for that. But we sometimes, and
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: this is black people too, we were so committed to
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: making ourselves look a certain way in front of white people.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: They're kind of respectability politics that we only advocate for
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: perfect victims. We only advocate for the people who are
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: about to go to college. We only advocate for straight people.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: We only advocate for sigienter people. When was that sometimes
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: a national outrage for trans woman who died? Nine black
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: trans women were killed the summer that Mike Browne was killed.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: We didn't hear none of their names. Right. We don't
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: have any gay male people who we look to and say,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: you know what, we're riding for him, right, it tends
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: to be Christian, straight heterosexual males, at least at least
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: that's how it looks. And because we want to look
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: a certain way and feel good about it. In middle
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: class black people don't feel good about saying, well, he
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: stole something from the store, so therefore we're gonna, you know,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: we're gonna still fight for him. Now, we'd be like, ah,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: I wish we had a better case, all right, we
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: got more with Mark Clamant here when we come back,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: don't move, it's to breakfast club, Good morning. Can we
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: can we talk about the hero thing? Because I think
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: sometimes when people be like, oh, he wasn't a hero,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: they necessarily think he was a villain. No, you just
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: normal person people do something like all of us and
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: I'm not excusing anything that George Floyd did or anything
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: that anybody's done. Right, But George Floyd, as we talked
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: about in the book, he was improving. He was fighting
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: for sobriety. He loved his kids, he was working for
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: a job. He's trying to he was trying to do
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: something with them, stuff like so many people in the
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: country trying to do, but especially blackmails in America. He
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: was praying. He went through a lot of trauma, things
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: that he had to deal with in his own personal life.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: Then the pandemic hit and you have to really humanize
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: what people's circumstances are, something that we all go through
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: that we have to say that though, right, like I
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: hate that, we have to say he was improving, he
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: was doing it doesn't matter matters a human being. Right,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: that did nothing right. He could have not been improved
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: back right, he could have been terrible. He wasn't, but
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: he could have been a terrible You better just don't
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: feel it and warrant that at a period I can't
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: breathe like, hey, he crying for his mom in public
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: and people don't shout out the Darnella Frasier for shooting
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: it and for videotaping it, because that's courageous too. People
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: act like I mean, I think sometimes we do too
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: much videotaping and not enough intervention. And she felt bad
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: about that, like she said that, you know, you feel
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: some type of trauma from witnessing that and then feel
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: like should I have done something right? And here I am,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: because then people get mad at you, like, oh, you
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: was just standing there filming it and you didn't even
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: do anything. And I think it depends on the situation.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: In that case, I don't expect this, this this black
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: girl to jump four cops were standing there. Cops aren't
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: intervene if they're not intervene in. What's she gonna do?
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: And she doesn't intervene, Does she get shot? Does she
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: get a knee on her neck? I understand why she
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: might not have intervene. But a lot of times we
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: will videotape a fight. We will videotape by getting the
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: ass whooped in public and not do anything about trains
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: or street corners. And that's why I get frustrated. It's like,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: we have to intervene. We can't become so obsessed with
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: the videotape that we don't actually stop the thing from happening.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Because the police can't save us. I'm abolitions. The police
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: can't be the answer. We got to be the answer.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: And and and sometimes we get so caught up in
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: the surveillance and the spectacle of it, because that'll get
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: us likes, that'll get us clicks, that'll get us streams,
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: that we forget that this is about human life, and
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: this is about loving ourselves and in each other. When
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: you talk about um, you know, like we all know
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: all the benefits of social media when it comes to
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: the social justice movement. What bothers me is the trauma
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: that I know it causes. Yeah, these are these are
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: like you're watching these videos, even when you're talking about
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: the George Floyd video, I'm like, damn, I can feel
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: the anxiety at first felt when I watched that video,
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: Like that doesn't leave you when you see it. So
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: that's that's what makes me keep wondering is it helping
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: or is it hurting? What I tell people, is it
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: helps that we know the video exists. Everybody knows there's
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: not a person America doesn't know about Writing King, not
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: a person America doesn't know about George For you don't
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: have to watch it though, So I tell people that
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: engage in some self care about that. But your point
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: is a profound one, which is the steady stream of
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: images of black and it's black death. White people do
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: not have to worry about turning on social media and
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: seeing people who look like them get killed. Right there's
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: Asian people don't don't worry about turning on the evening news,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: cable news and seeing like themselves be murdered or beating
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: or other things. It does normalize it, and it can
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: objectify our body. So so on the one hand, when
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: you see it, you're outraged, but if you see it
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: all the time, it just makes you one. It traumatizes
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: us because because it's people, we know people who could
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: be George, so it could be us. You know, Tami
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: and Rice could be usum, Brianna Taylor could be us.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: But it also can make it so normal to people
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: that they stop being outraged. It's like when you here
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: five people in Chicago are shot, or there was a
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: bombing in Lebanon or you know whatever right there, or
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: there's famine in Africa. There's certain things that we hear
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: so much that it's hard to be outraged. Every day
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: and so black death. We have to kind of balance that.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: But that's the balance we've always had to have either
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: be wells. She took the postcards, She took the images
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: of lynching that white people were using as postcards. They'd
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: be lynching and they would sentimized postcards. They would take
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: black fingers and toes and use them as souvenirs. They
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: were celebrating those images. She took those images to create
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: a moral panic, to say, look, they are killing us,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: We're hanging from trees. And some people said this causes trauma,
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: but she understood the balancing act of that. Now there
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: are some people on the internet who make them their
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: business on black trauma. They make their whole enterprise just
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: showing black trauma. That's not helpful. There has to be
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: a balance of trauma and healing, of intervention, of support,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: and of organized action not just for ourselves, but to
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: actually stop from happening. And I think the other thing
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: that bothers me is not changing the culture of policing. Clearly,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: they don't care. They don't care whether it's on camera
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: off camera. They don't care. That's what we've been saying,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: and in the abolitionist movement for a long time. It's
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: like reforms don't work. People thought body cameras would save us, right,
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: just like back when when I was I was activist
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: as a teenage eran Rodney King time, it was like
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: fire the police. They just hire more because it's a culture.
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: Then it was get black, get black cops. Then we
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: were getting beaten by black cops. You know what I
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: mean that have them living in your neighborhood, then they
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: know where they know where to find. You know, these
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: aren't the solutions because policing is the problem. And body
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: cameras now sometimes they will help, but body cameras do
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: more to exonerate cops than they do to get justice
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: for the people who are killed. By A solution, in
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: your opinion, abolished police, abolished police, get rid of policing,
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: and imagine a new way in totality. In totality, abolished
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: police and abolished prisons. We gotta do it now. It's
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: a it's an incremental process. So what do you do
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: for people that commit crimes? Where do you put them in?
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: How do you police neighborhoods? Well, first, we gotta we
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: gotta reamagine because even as you're talking about it, or
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: he said, how do you police neighborhoods? And neighbors don't
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: have to be police. Neighbors have to be said, neighbors
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: have to be protected. But there's crime in every neighborhood.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: There is crime. But SeeMe, all right, let me take
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: one step back. Crime is a social construct. What do
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: I mean by that? People don't commit crimes. They commit acts,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: and some acts get criminalized. For example, if we were
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: to all smoke weed right now, that would not in
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: that would not be a crime. Ten years ago it
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: would be a crime. The moral nature of it, or
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: the in moral nature of it, hasn't changed. The ethics
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: of it hasn't changed. Whether I thought it was right
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 1: or wrong doesn't change because my ethics aren't tied to
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: the law exclusively. Right, So crime changes across space and time.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: If somebody decides something as a crime, black people being free,
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: black people reading was a crime, you know what I mean?
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: So I try not to use the language of crime
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: because crime is a contract. I'm not trying to be
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: all academic as much as no, no, but it's it's
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: a great question for me. It's more about saying people
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: commit harm. How do we deal with acts of harm,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: And because that allows us to strinthen the net. Because
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: if we say crime, all kinds of stuff as a crime.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: But if we shrink it, said, how do we reduce
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: harm in our neighborhoods, Well, the first thing we got
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: to do is get at the thing, get at the
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: root causes. As when we say radical rackles is a
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: way of saying, get at the root cause, the root
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: cause of most harm, most crime. It's poverty, it's inequality.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 1: Most people don't rob people just to rob people. Some
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: people do, but most people don't. When people have jobs,
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: they commit crime. Lest when people have libraries, they commit
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: crime lists, if they commit when they have school access, coaches,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: music programs, arts, they commit crime less. Um, So we
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: gotta get it that stuff. We have to reimagine what
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: safety looks like. So for example, even an example a
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: game earlier about videotaping people getting beat up and jump
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: in and stop it. We can complete our own neighborhoods.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: We can we can have community watches and things like that.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: We can have public safety forces. When somebody's a man
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: in Atlanta got drunk, fell asleep in the parking lot
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: of a burger king, remember in the police he ran
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: away in the police. And you can say, don't run
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: from the police. That's what a lot of people are, fine,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: don't run from the police, right, But the fact that
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: the only people you could call the man would sleeping
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: his cart, mind his own business, right, But the only
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: people we could call was an armed police force whose
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: job is to escalate. What if we had a public
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: safety force who could get that man home, right, we would,
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: He wouldn't have committed a crime, and that whole interaction
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: would not have happened. Now. I know, anybody listening to
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: this when I talk about abolition, particularly prison abolition, will say, yeah,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: that sounds good for drunks, and that sounds good for
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: drugs because we can decriminalize drugs. Correct, But I know
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: it's crazy, or you could say that, you know. I
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: think Angelie reported a couple of days ago that there
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: was so many how many like eighty thousand businesses looking
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: for people to work and nobody wanted to work. Yeah,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: so you said people looking for job, people need jobs,
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: but now their jobs out there. People don't want to work.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: Some people don't want to work. But we also need
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: to get people living wage jobs. You know what I mean?
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: And I know that if you pay some eight thousan
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: a hour and you don't have any money. Yeah, I'll
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: tell people work, right. I take care of a lot
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: of people, you know what I mean, and a lot
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: of them don't don't work, you know, and they're like,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: they're too proud to work for the eight doollars an hour,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: but they're not too proud to call me. But the
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: cash at requests once every other week for monch. I
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: get the frustration, but at some point we got to
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: get people living wage jobs. You can't have a life
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 1: of dignity for seven dollars eight dollars nine dollars an hour.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: If we give people fifteen dollars an hour minimum just
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: to start, I think suddenly people are in a much
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: different place. And then those jobs grow. So that's that,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: that's part of the issue. So we're gonna figure something
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: else out, you know, we're gonna figure something else out right,
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: Michael mont Hill seeing an unseen out right, now, go
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: get it with Todd Bruster. Yeah, great conversation. Now it's
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club.
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 1: But it looks like Chris Rocket is working on his
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: jokes about the Will Smith slap. Now, Dave Chappelle and
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: Chris Rock we're on stage together. You know, there's no
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: phones allowed allegedly, so we don't have video of this.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: But according to reports, while they were unstage together, they
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: were talking about their different interactions, and according to reports,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: Chris made a joke he said, at least you got
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: smacked by someone at repute. I got smacked by a
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: homeless guy. Well, this is what Dave Chapelle said, at
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: least you got smacked by someone a repute that got
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: smacked by a homeless guy with leaves in his hair.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: And then Chris Rock responded and said, I got smacked
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: by the softest M word that ever wrapped. So I
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: don't believe Chris Rock said that. I think Chris Rock
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: is way smarter than whittier than that. And why would
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: he be calling somebody else saw Chris Why, I don't.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think Chris would do that. I don't know. Well,
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of reports are saying from people that were
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: yeah that they heard it. I mean, I also feel
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: like it might have been just the two of them
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: are riffing back and forth on stage as you're working
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: on jokes. Sometimes they're not the funniest right away as
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: you're trying to work on material, And that's what the
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: point of it is. That's why they don't like people
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: to have their phones out, because while you're working on material,
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: he's still doing it. So it could have been something
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: as they were going back and forth that was more spontaneous.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, the show Queens has been canceled by
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: ABC after one season. Unfortunately, that's the show that Eve,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: Brandy Na Tory were all in together. I actually saw
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: Nator over the weekend right after she found out the news.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: She said the showrunner had just called her before she
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: walked into the event and let them know that the
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: show wasn't coming back. Yeah. So, following the finale, Brandy
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: had hoped there would be a second season to flesh
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: out more performance wise from the crew. She said she
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: would have loved to see a season two. So looks
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: like it wasn't going to be able to happen. Weren't
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: you on there, Emmy? Yeah? Okay, they did it from
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: a pair all right now. Snoop Dogg has actually gotten
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: part steak in ice Cube's Big Three. So according to
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: TMZ hip Hop Snoop, along with PayPal co founder Ken Howary,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: spent six hundred and twenty five thousand dollars to purchase
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: an ownership steak. Here is what Ice Cuban snoopat to say.

• 1:19:28
  Speaker 1: are you at? And maybe they're looking for investments? All right? Now,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: let's talk about this top fifty female rappers list. I
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: saw people commenting on this. This was done by fifty
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: fifty Entertainment and some people were commenting on social media
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: about that the city girls were left off. JT posted
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: where the city girls. I guess we seen could have
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: at least put us at number fifty and then cast
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: out also commented hilarious. Number one on the list was
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj, Number two was Little Kim, three was Missy Elliott,
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: four was Queen Latifa, number five was Lauren Hill, number

• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: was even, number nine was Foxy, and number ten was Cardie,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: followed by number eleven with Trina. Now they did post
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: hare is our top fifty greatest female Rappers of All Time?
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 1: List revised. Let's argue so a lot of arguments, then
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: clearly ensued after that. I mean a list is just
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: like an NFT. It only has the value that you
• 1:20:23
