1:38
Speaker 1: Int is the preset where most of the four cops
1:41
Speaker 1: were employed by They burnt that whole precinct down. We'll
1:44
Speaker 1: talk about that as well. They've been riding in Minneapolis
1:50
Speaker 1: and other states as well. People have been protesting, people
1:53
Speaker 1: have been arrested. It seems like there's been more police
1:56
Speaker 1: brutality all over the country. And I'm tired of people
1:59
Speaker 1: saying this, and this is what I'm tired of. I'm
2:02
Speaker 1: tired of people saying, well, you know, you don't get
2:05
Speaker 1: that mad when it's black on black crime. Well, when
2:08
Speaker 1: it's black on black people fighting each other, when it's
2:10
Speaker 1: minorities going at each other, that's weak to me. And
2:14
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why. Yes, you're absolutely right when
2:16
Speaker 1: black on black crime happens, we should be mad. But
2:19
Speaker 1: let's not change. Let's not change the goal line. That's
2:22
Speaker 1: like when you're getting an argument with your man, or
2:23
Speaker 1: you get an argument with your girl or your wife,
2:26
Speaker 1: and you start talking about well, putting up the tallest seat,
2:28
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's well, you remember five
2:31
Speaker 1: years ago when you did this to me. No, we're
2:32
Speaker 1: not talking about what happened before. We're talking about this
2:34
Speaker 1: instant right now. We could talk about that later, but
2:37
Speaker 1: right now we're talking about this and how this is
2:39
Speaker 1: affecting us and what we've seen in the last couple
2:41
Speaker 1: of days. So all the comments, but oh well, we
2:44
Speaker 1: don't know. We're not talking about that. We're talking about
2:47
Speaker 1: this specific instance. We're talking about how police continue continue
2:52
Speaker 1: to disrespect us and kill us and kill unarmed us.
2:58
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about it more and get it off
2:59
Speaker 1: your chess eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.
3:02
Speaker 1: If you want to get things off your chess, you
3:04
Speaker 1: can call us up right now. Phone lines are wide open.
3:07
Speaker 1: We're here. Charlomagne yield on vacation. Is the breakfast Clocal,
3:11
Speaker 1: Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the God.
3:16
Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front
3:18
Speaker 1: page news now while all this is going on, Well,
3:23
Speaker 1: everything's happening in the world right now. Donald Trump signs
3:27
Speaker 1: a new law target in social media companies after allegedly
3:31
Speaker 1: Twitter started to fact check them to see what he
3:34
Speaker 1: was saying was right. So now with everything going on.
3:37
Speaker 1: This is what he signs today. Let's hear audio. My
3:40
Speaker 1: executive order calls for new regulations under section two thirty
3:44
Speaker 1: of the Communications Decency Act to make it that social
3:48
Speaker 1: media companies that engage in censoring or any political conduct
3:52
Speaker 1: will not be able to keep their liability shield. That's
3:55
Speaker 1: a big deal. They have a shield. They can do
3:58
Speaker 1: what they want. They have a shield that I gotta
4:00
Speaker 1: have that shield. That's crazy. That's what he's thinking about
4:03
Speaker 1: in a time like this, making sure a social media
4:06
Speaker 1: doesn't fact check him. Huh. Well, In George of Floyd's case,
4:10
Speaker 1: they're saying allegedly that he worked at the same club
4:12
Speaker 1: as the officer that had the knee in his neck. Now,
4:15
Speaker 1: allegedly George Floyd worked at a club doing security at night,
4:19
Speaker 1: and they're saying that the owner also allegedly said that
4:22
Speaker 1: this young angus is in a young individual. But this
4:25
Speaker 1: officer also worked at the same club. So I don't
4:27
Speaker 1: know if there was a previous or a prior problem,
4:31
Speaker 1: but it just seems strange that he would do that
4:32
Speaker 1: to this man and he have that have that knee
4:35
Speaker 1: on his neck for that long for no reason that
4:38
Speaker 1: that just seems strange well. Also the attorney. Prosecuting attorney
4:43
Speaker 1: Mike Freeman said the other evidence showing no wrong and
4:46
Speaker 1: believes George Floyd's kill up might not be charged. Let's
4:49
Speaker 1: hear audio of that, and I think people will be
4:51
Speaker 1: hard press to understand. You can't bring charges at least
4:56
Speaker 1: I guess the officer who has his knee. It's a
5:00
Speaker 1: violation of my ethics to talk and evaluate evidence before
5:07
Speaker 1: we annot charging decision, and I will not do that.
5:11
Speaker 1: I will say this, but that video is graphic and
5:15
Speaker 1: horrific and terrible and no person should be back. But
5:19
Speaker 1: my job at the end is to prove that he
5:22
Speaker 1: violate a criminal statue, which I can't see why they
5:26
Speaker 1: can't prove that immediately. I mean, the man was we
5:30
Speaker 1: all seen in the video. He was lifeless. The man
5:34
Speaker 1: wasn't fighting back. He was screaming. I can't breathe, he
5:38
Speaker 1: was screaming. My stomach hurts. There was no fighting that man.
5:41
Speaker 1: You had his hands tied behind his back, handcuffed. What
5:45
Speaker 1: was he gonna do? Karate kick you? What's the worst?
5:49
Speaker 1: Bite you? It was three of you guys on There
5:53
Speaker 1: was no there was no reason for that. And lastly,
5:57
Speaker 1: protestersts burned down the third priest inast night in Minneapolis.
6:01
Speaker 1: That is the preset employed, which imp employed the four
6:05
Speaker 1: officers that were involved in this case. So the third
6:08
Speaker 1: Precinct was set on fire. And you know they sent
6:11
Speaker 1: out warnings last night to please back away from the
6:13
Speaker 1: third Precinct because they felt it was going to explode
6:15
Speaker 1: and blow up. But the third Precinct was set on
6:18
Speaker 1: fire by protesters and burnt down. And that is your
6:22
Speaker 1: front page news. Now get it off your chests. Eight
6:25
Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one on five one. If you
6:28
Speaker 1: need to vent, call us up right now. Phone lines
6:30
Speaker 1: a wide open. Let's talk about it. It's the breakfast Club.
6:33
Speaker 1: Good morning, the breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up, wake up.
6:41
Speaker 1: You're time to get it off your chest. Whether you're
6:44
Speaker 1: mad or black, we want to hear from you on
6:46
Speaker 1: a breakfast block. Hello. Who's this? Hey Christ? Hey Chris,
6:51
Speaker 1: good morning man. Get it off your chest, Hey man,
6:53
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about the whole killing thing, man,
6:56
Speaker 1: And I just want to let everybody know, like this
6:58
Speaker 1: old testing. We've been doing this for like way too long.
7:03
Speaker 1: There's nothing's going to happen from it. Everybody just want
7:06
Speaker 1: to do the little MLK protest and instead of actually
7:09
Speaker 1: doing action. I believe in it, but I also believe
7:13
Speaker 1: in the Malcolm X fighting for a cause anymore. You know,
7:16
Speaker 1: I think we need an eye for our eyes and
7:19
Speaker 1: just protest and I actually get a point across. I'm
7:21
Speaker 1: pretty sure you've seen a Donald Trump what he just said, right, Well, Paul,
7:26
Speaker 1: the Dougs. When you see the Dougs are out there riding, Yeah,
7:29
Speaker 1: how they just going to come out shooting just because
7:31
Speaker 1: we're trying to get our point across on how we
7:34
Speaker 1: feel about how they're killing us for the past few years.
7:36
Speaker 1: So I just think it's time to actually get an
7:39
Speaker 1: eye for our eye, actually get a point across to
7:41
Speaker 1: show them, like, stop doing it, and if you keep
7:44
Speaker 1: doing it, it's going to be precautions to it. You know,
7:46
Speaker 1: all cops aren't bad, right, and you know that all
7:48
Speaker 1: cops standing up saying that this individual is wrong. So
7:52
Speaker 1: you know, so so what do you do? What do
7:54
Speaker 1: you what do you propose that we do our community
7:57
Speaker 1: to go after the people that kills us, not saying
7:59
Speaker 1: all I so bad, but the ones that's crooked doing
8:01
Speaker 1: this stuff. They need to go after those people. You
8:04
Speaker 1: know it feels me out there and just like how
8:06
Speaker 1: it was back in the day, how you know, the
8:08
Speaker 1: people used to protect the neighborhood and those cricket cops
8:12
Speaker 1: need to be the exact same way to go after
8:13
Speaker 1: those cricket cops. Now, I agree with you. I feel
8:16
Speaker 1: like we need to we need to kind of make
8:18
Speaker 1: sure we protect and police our own communities. But you know,
8:21
Speaker 1: I mean to go out and just hurt random people
8:24
Speaker 1: and hurt random police officers. I don't think it's the key.
8:26
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the way. I do feel you,
8:29
Speaker 1: and I do feel like sometimes they're pushing us not
8:31
Speaker 1: to do it the right way when they're saying we
8:33
Speaker 1: don't know if there's enough information or if there's enough proof,
8:35
Speaker 1: because that's bullish. But thank you for calling brother. Hello,

12:18
Speaker 1: This is shy Hey Sean, what are you calling from?
12:21
Speaker 1: I'm actually calling from Heathersville, North Carolina. Good morning? This?
12:24
Speaker 1: How you feeling this dist on this Friday? You know,
12:27
Speaker 1: I honestly could be a lot there. I'm just seeing
12:31
Speaker 1: honors with you. I was riding and I was listening
12:34
Speaker 1: to you, and you know, I think you brought a
12:37
Speaker 1: very good point about everyone bringing up the black on
12:41
Speaker 1: black crime and not having an issue, and you know,
12:44
Speaker 1: you kind of made that a point, but there I
12:46
Speaker 1: kind of I kind of wanted to add to that.
12:49
Speaker 1: It's not that we're so upset about the fact that,
12:53
Speaker 1: you know, it was more black on black. We should
12:56
Speaker 1: be more upset about that. I think there we need
12:58
Speaker 1: to be more upset about. Is police const what they
13:02
Speaker 1: were here for. If they're here to protect him, to serve,
13:05
Speaker 1: So that is what they were trained to do. If
13:08
Speaker 1: we looked into it, and god hope did they someone
13:11
Speaker 1: did bomb the police building. If they turned around and
13:15
Speaker 1: they looked into it and this man was trained to
13:19
Speaker 1: be able to build a bomb, is he not going
13:21
Speaker 1: to go to prison for that? So why would this
13:24
Speaker 1: man who was trained to be able to subdue a
13:27
Speaker 1: man and to kill a man with his very hands,
13:29
Speaker 1: why he allowed to walk free from that? Yeah? I
13:33
Speaker 1: mean that's a good point. I mean, I mean when
13:36
Speaker 1: that when that district attorney yesterday said he doesn't know
13:40
Speaker 1: if there's enough evidence it just it just killed It
13:43
Speaker 1: just killed everything in me because before that I had
13:47
Speaker 1: you know, I really and maybe this is just dumb me.
13:49
Speaker 1: I really had hope. I said, you know what, this
13:53
Speaker 1: guy will get prosecuted. We all seen the video. Now
13:55
Speaker 1: there was no well the guy was fighting back or
13:58
Speaker 1: the guy was no. We all seeing three officers holding
14:02
Speaker 1: this man down, you know. And then which is another
14:06
Speaker 1: slap in the face, when they released the one of
14:09
Speaker 1: the body footage, the body camera footage, when they when
14:12
Speaker 1: they took everything out, like what kind of body footage
14:15
Speaker 1: was that you couldn't see anything. They blocked everything out,
14:18
Speaker 1: They didn't you couldn't hear the voice that was That
14:21
Speaker 1: was just a slap in the face. That just shows
14:23
Speaker 1: like they have no respect, no nothing for us, nothing.
14:29
Speaker 1: And when I when you really look into it, you
14:31
Speaker 1: know they take advantage of the fact they're really police
14:35
Speaker 1: officers that have their own that that literally are out
14:38
Speaker 1: there watching Facebook and watching the post. You don't even
14:41
Speaker 1: have to be a police officer anymore. The crimes are
14:45
Speaker 1: solved right there, and people are fitting their guilt every day,
14:48
Speaker 1: and they are taking these clips and they are literally
14:52
Speaker 1: going and their prosecuting these people. I just don't understand
14:56
Speaker 1: how a how a video can just deter anyone from
15:00
Speaker 1: saying Dad was absolutely one hundred percent. We have it
15:03
Speaker 1: on tape, absolutely absolutely, Well, thank you for calling Mama,
15:07
Speaker 1: and you be safe and try to at least have
15:09
Speaker 1: a great weekend. Absolutely, Thank you so much. You're having
15:12
Speaker 1: a great day and you just keep being positive out there.
15:15
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Mama. Get it off your chest
15:18
Speaker 1: eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If
15:20
Speaker 1: you need to vent, you can hit this up now.
15:22
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This
15:30
Speaker 1: is your time to get it off your chest, whether
15:32
Speaker 1: you're man or blast. So you better say we want
15:35
Speaker 1: to hear from you on the breakfast Club. Hello, who's
15:37
Speaker 1: this morning? Come morning, Nick, Come on and neck you're doing.
15:41
Speaker 1: Get it off your chest, brother. I'm gonna speak on
15:44
Speaker 1: this killing thing. Um. Honestly, I feel like we're never
15:48
Speaker 1: going to be treated right, and the easiest way to
15:50
Speaker 1: get our process to start taking the money in the
15:52
Speaker 1: power out of their pocket. Like, for instance, if we
15:55
Speaker 1: start saying we're treated eve or eagle, we're not gonna
15:58
Speaker 1: pay factors. This is because they want the money. They
16:01
Speaker 1: want our energy, our time, our money, so once we
16:05
Speaker 1: start treating them and showing them like we don't care
16:07
Speaker 1: about their rules and what we want, and they're gonna
16:10
Speaker 1: have to respect what we But yeah, well, you know,
16:12
Speaker 1: the taxes thing would be difficult because then they'll start
16:15
Speaker 1: saying that we own money in taxes and start trying
16:17
Speaker 1: to arrest us for not paying our taxes, but not
16:20
Speaker 1: shopping in stores and really holding our money and showing
16:24
Speaker 1: people that our money is just as valuable as anybody
16:26
Speaker 1: else's money. I agree with that. I mean, I think
16:29
Speaker 1: it's really gonna and this is gonna sound crazy, but
16:32
Speaker 1: I really think it's gonna have to get back to
16:34
Speaker 1: where we were years and years ago, where we had
16:36
Speaker 1: our own finances, our own baking systems, our own neighborhoods,
16:40
Speaker 1: our own schools, and start funding ourselves. The problem is
16:45
Speaker 1: is we're so behind with money. You know, and I'll
16:49
Speaker 1: be honest with you, we don't have a lot of
16:50
Speaker 1: us don't don't have generational wealth. A lot of us
16:53
Speaker 1: are the first time is to even start making money
16:55
Speaker 1: in our families. So we're so far behind with that.
16:59
Speaker 1: We'll be so far behind with with technology and and
17:03
Speaker 1: books and things like that. But that's what we're gonna
17:05
Speaker 1: have to get get to and I'm hoping that you know,
17:09
Speaker 1: some of us with with some money, we'll be able
17:12
Speaker 1: to invest in our own and invest in our own community.
17:15
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking you know, a million dollars. If
17:18
Speaker 1: you make a million dollars a year or two million,
17:20
Speaker 1: there's there's some of us that are making billions as
17:22
Speaker 1: African Americans and multi million. We have to start saying,
17:25
Speaker 1: you know, we have to be the lead and say,
17:27
Speaker 1: you know what, this is what we're gonna do. And
17:29
Speaker 1: the same thing with the HBCUs. You know, we have
17:31
Speaker 1: all these great athletes that go to these other schools,
17:34
Speaker 1: whether it's Duke, whether it's Clemson, whether it's Syracuse, whether
17:38
Speaker 1: it's Georgetown, and we're gonna have to get to the
17:40
Speaker 1: point where you say, you know what, we're gonna hold
17:41
Speaker 1: our own and our player is gonna have to go
17:44
Speaker 1: into our own schools, our own HBCUs. You know what
17:46
Speaker 1: that would do to an HBCU if a player like uh,
17:50
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, like a Camelo Anthony didn't
17:53
Speaker 1: go to Syracuse and he went to you know, HBCU,
17:56
Speaker 1: or Alan Ovison didn't go to Georgetown and went to
17:59
Speaker 1: an hbc you or let's see Lebron James would have
18:02
Speaker 1: did one year in the league, and you know it
18:04
Speaker 1: went to an HBCU one year in college, or even
18:07
Speaker 1: like a Michael Jordan didn't go to North Carolina went
18:09
Speaker 1: to an HBCU. You know how that would affect an HBCU.
18:13
Speaker 1: You know, it would definitely bring more funding. And that's
18:16
Speaker 1: why I think we're gonna have to start doing absolutely great.
18:20
Speaker 1: But it's it's bad fund. Sorry, outside of the fund, Joe,
18:25
Speaker 1: I don't know if you recall a few weeks back,
18:27
Speaker 1: I called them and I was talking about that each
18:29
Speaker 1: one teach one message. Yeah, it's good to have money,
18:32
Speaker 1: but if we teach each other how to grow our
18:34
Speaker 1: own crops, make our own clothing, build our own infrastructures,
18:39
Speaker 1: our own homes and properties and stuff like that, we
18:42
Speaker 1: get off the wheel that they have us on where
18:44
Speaker 1: they feel like they can control. Once we get off
18:46
Speaker 1: that wheel and it starts releasing ourselves, you're right, we
18:49
Speaker 1: can now work amongst each other. They keep the peace
18:52
Speaker 1: and say, hey, if you're not gonna buy by this,
18:55
Speaker 1: look we're gonna turn you over. Them folks that are
18:57
Speaker 1: going to do whatever they want, which so you might
18:59
Speaker 1: want to play by play fair amongst our community. You know,
19:02
Speaker 1: we should write and and you know, a brother. That's
19:06
Speaker 1: why that's why I push financial freedom so much, and
19:09
Speaker 1: that's why I push real estates so much, and that's
19:11
Speaker 1: why I try to do my part to having some
19:13
Speaker 1: of these financial advisors and these minorities up here talking
19:17
Speaker 1: about it, because you know, you look at our community
19:21
Speaker 1: and we rent, right, we're in the projects, we've rent,
19:24
Speaker 1: we rent, and a lot of us even that we're renting,
19:27
Speaker 1: we're paying a thousand dollars to rent, fifteen hundred dollars
19:30
Speaker 1: to rent. And what people don't know it's there's a
19:32
Speaker 1: lot of help out there. When I mean health, there's
19:34
Speaker 1: grants that I help you with your down payments, there's
19:36
Speaker 1: grants to help you with your closing courts. So for
19:39
Speaker 1: a lot of times, the same money that we would
19:41
Speaker 1: pay and rent, we can pay and we can actually
19:43
Speaker 1: own something. We can have something. And people like, well,
19:47
Speaker 1: what does that do or what does that? What that
19:48
Speaker 1: does is that creates some type of generational wealth, meaning
19:52
Speaker 1: when you die, when you pass away, you give something
19:54
Speaker 1: to your kids and not just an apartment in the
19:57
Speaker 1: projects or you give them something, You give them equity
20:00
Speaker 1: where they can start. And that's what we need to
20:02
Speaker 1: do everybody else. You know, you know when people die,
20:06
Speaker 1: they're leave him with millions of dollars, leaving with one
20:08
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars. We don't have that because
20:11
Speaker 1: a lot of times we don't know. So we got
20:12
Speaker 1: to continue learning, continue to understand, and continue to stand
20:15
Speaker 1: by like stand by that make sure that we can
20:18
Speaker 1: pass on for our kids equity and not that thing
20:21
Speaker 1: we need that we need them for our people. But
20:23
Speaker 1: thank you for calling him, brother, and you have a
20:25
Speaker 1: great weekend. Man. Hello, Who's this is? Joe? I was
20:28
Speaker 1: going on, Joe? What's going on? Were you calling from? Bro?
20:31
Speaker 1: What do you hear? What you say? I'm falling from Florida? Okay, Joe,
20:34
Speaker 1: what's up? Man? Get it off your chest? Well listen.
20:36
Speaker 1: I want to thank you guys. Every morning I listen
20:38
Speaker 1: to you guys coming on from work and I want
20:41
Speaker 1: to say, what's going on with that? George Floyd Case.
20:43
Speaker 1: I'm a police officer myself, and I honestly I am
20:47
Speaker 1: I am shocked. When I was watching it was it
20:49
Speaker 1: was bad. And I know everybody I work with we're
20:52
Speaker 1: saying the same exact thing. And honestly, man, this guy's
20:55
Speaker 1: got to go to jail. Man, I mean, it's crazy.
20:58
Speaker 1: I don't know the whole case, and I want to
21:00
Speaker 1: jump to any conclusions, but based on what it looks like, man,
21:03
Speaker 1: it don't look good. But let me ask you a question.
21:05
Speaker 1: Let's say anything else happened? What? What? What else could
21:09
Speaker 1: have happened? It's not like we've seen a ten seconds
21:11
Speaker 1: of the video. We see minutes of the video. Like
21:15
Speaker 1: I saw the whole thing. He's handcuffed. What's the Listen,
21:18
Speaker 1: the game rule is once the handcuffs wrong, that's it.
21:20
Speaker 1: The fight. That's right. He can't do anything. He can't
21:23
Speaker 1: like unless he gonna karate kick you exactly. You know,
21:27
Speaker 1: you know all these games the guy's handcuffs and and
21:30
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know his medical condition. Ornything that
21:32
Speaker 1: if he's combative with his feet, you get restraints on
21:35
Speaker 1: his feet. That's it. You don't have to I mean
21:37
Speaker 1: me on his throat, you know. And that's what we need.
21:40
Speaker 1: We need more officers and police officers like you to
21:42
Speaker 1: stand up and say, yo, that's wrong, it is wrong.
21:45
Speaker 1: And you know another thing is I think we need
21:46
Speaker 1: to have an open dialogue because like I worked all
21:49
Speaker 1: last night and I can only see both you know,
21:51
Speaker 1: and at me, I don't. I don't know anything what's
21:53
Speaker 1: going on. Like I'm not studying this case. I know
21:55
Speaker 1: what's going on, but I'm like that ain't me. I
21:57
Speaker 1: don't live in that state. I don't know nothing about
21:59
Speaker 1: what's going on up there. Yeah, but I should now,
22:02
Speaker 1: but yeah, but you know, the problem is it is
22:05
Speaker 1: this has been happening for a long time, and people
22:07
Speaker 1: don't know who to take it out on. You know,
22:09
Speaker 1: people see what happening, and then for for the the
22:12
Speaker 1: you know, the district attorney to say, hey, we don't
22:14
Speaker 1: know if there's enough information. It makes one what makes
22:18
Speaker 1: one bad apple feel like all of all the apples
22:20
Speaker 1: are bad. And that's how people are feeling like that,
22:22
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's not it's feeling like, you know,
22:25
Speaker 1: police officers have been getting away with this for a
22:27
Speaker 1: long time, and we don't know who to trust. You know,
22:29
Speaker 1: most officers are not speaking up, so we don't know
22:31
Speaker 1: who to trust nobody. I just think about going to
22:34
Speaker 1: work and doing helping out the community the best I could.
22:37
Speaker 1: And then and then trying to come home one piece.
22:39
Speaker 1: That's my goal every morning. Well, if you if you're
22:42
Speaker 1: a good ally and and and you honestly are trying
22:46
Speaker 1: to help the people out there, we appreciate you. Brother.
22:49
Speaker 1: We need an open dialogue and we need to tell
22:51
Speaker 1: like what that has like absolutely atrocious to what happens.
22:56
Speaker 1: Well you know this guy, this guy, this guy got
22:58
Speaker 1: murdered essentially amer absolutely, Like I said, I want let
23:03
Speaker 1: them do their thing. I don't think every officernit needs
23:06
Speaker 1: to get a death right now. I mean it's absolutely
23:08
Speaker 1: I mean I'll tell you right now, I've got like
23:09
Speaker 1: ten of them last night. I'm like, what the hell
23:11
Speaker 1: is going on? Yeah, We'll be careful out there and
23:14
Speaker 1: continue speaking up for what you believe in and what
23:15
Speaker 1: you what you know is right, Bro, everybody all human.
23:18
Speaker 1: I'm a man just like you are. I put my
23:20
Speaker 1: pants on the same way you do. So that's all
23:22
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. But thank you so much, bro,
23:24
Speaker 1: get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five,
23:27
Speaker 1: one oh five one. If you need to vent hit
23:29
Speaker 1: this up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, man, man,
23:32
Speaker 1: man morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angelie Ye, Charlomagne the guy.
23:36
Speaker 1: We are to breakfast club Angeli and Charlomagne on vacation.
23:39
Speaker 1: Let's get in some front page news. Now, it's some
23:44
Speaker 1: crazy issue. Now shout to CNN. The CNN crew has
23:49
Speaker 1: been arrested while covering the Minneapolis protests, right live on television.
23:53
Speaker 1: It's the craziest thing I ever seen in You can
23:55
Speaker 1: tell that they really don't want people seeing what's going on. Now.
24:00
Speaker 1: Let me break it down. I don't know if we
24:01
Speaker 1: have the audio job or somebody when we get the audio. Now,
24:04
Speaker 1: the CNN crew is taping and it's like, oh, they
24:06
Speaker 1: have action. They see the police officers running to arrest
24:08
Speaker 1: somebody else. He says, yeah, we have action right now,
24:11
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, they surround the CNN
24:16
Speaker 1: host right the CNN correspond his name is Omar Jimenez.
24:20
Speaker 1: May maybe we got audio. We do have audio, right, So,
24:23
Speaker 1: as they're surrounding him, he says, hey, I work for CNN.
24:28
Speaker 1: Would you like me to back up? Where would you
24:29
Speaker 1: like me to go? Where I can possibly take? They
24:32
Speaker 1: say nothing to him, and then all of a sudden
24:34
Speaker 1: they arrest him and I don't see him arrest to crew.
24:37
Speaker 1: I just see him arrest of the minority. Maybe it's
24:40
Speaker 1: just me and I'm sensitive, but I don't see anybody
24:42
Speaker 1: else getting arrested on camera. Let's play the audio. Please
24:44
Speaker 1: show it up at the fire department or with the
24:47
Speaker 1: fire department apartment, I should say, on the building we
24:49
Speaker 1: showed him that was burning. This is among the state
24:51
Speaker 1: patrol unit that was advancing up the street saying and
24:56
Speaker 1: scattering the protesters at that point for people to fear
24:59
Speaker 1: the area, and so we walked away. I'm sorry, Okay,
25:06
Speaker 1: why am I under arrest? Why? Why am I under
25:10
Speaker 1: arrestaur right now? Okay, we are with the right. So
25:24
Speaker 1: he was arrested, he was walked, he was taken away. Now,
25:27
Speaker 1: before that, they surround him for like at least thirty seconds,
25:30
Speaker 1: and they're just looking at him, and he's saying, non confrontational, politely, Hey,
25:36
Speaker 1: if there's a problem, where would you like me to stand?
25:39
Speaker 1: If you want me to move, where would you like
25:41
Speaker 1: me to move? This is all on camera, this is live.
25:44
Speaker 1: Police say nothing. He goes, it's a problem, where would
25:48
Speaker 1: you like me to move? I will move, And all
25:50
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're under arrest. And I only see
25:53
Speaker 1: them take him away. I don't see them take anybody
25:54
Speaker 1: else away. It's like they don't want to show what's
25:59
Speaker 1: going on on because obviously the brother was doing absolutely
26:03
Speaker 1: positively nothing. Oh my god, well last night they believe
26:10
Speaker 1: protests burned down the third precent. Now the third precent
26:12
Speaker 1: is where the fourth officers were employed, that they burnt
26:16
Speaker 1: that building completely down. And this is just this is
26:21
Speaker 1: this is just I don't even know what to say.
26:26
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know what to say. And your President,
26:28
Speaker 1: I'll say, your president. When all this is going on,
26:31
Speaker 1: he signs an order for social media because social media
26:35
Speaker 1: is check fact in everything that he's saying. Okay, can
26:37
Speaker 1: we have audio of that? With everything that's going on,
26:39
Speaker 1: this is what he's concerned about. My executive order calls
26:42
Speaker 1: for new regulations under section two thirty of the Communications
26:47
Speaker 1: Decency at to make it that social media companies that
26:51
Speaker 1: engage in censoring or any political conduct will not be
26:54
Speaker 1: able to keep their liability shield. That's a big deal.
26:58
Speaker 1: They have a shield. They can do it they want,
27:00
Speaker 1: they have a shield. They're not going to have that shield. Yeah,
27:03
Speaker 1: So that's what he's concerned with. That's what he's concerned it. Now,
27:08
Speaker 1: also the district attorney said he doesn't know if there's
27:10
Speaker 1: enough evidence to actually prosecute these four officers. Can we
27:14
Speaker 1: hit this stupid statement? And I think people will be
27:17
Speaker 1: hard for us to understand how you can't bring charges
27:21
Speaker 1: at least against the officer who has his knee on
27:25
Speaker 1: that man's neck. It's a violation of my ethics to
27:30
Speaker 1: talk and evaluate evidence before we enount charging decision, and
27:35
Speaker 1: I will not do that. I will say this that
27:39
Speaker 1: that video is graphic and verrific and terrible and no
27:43
Speaker 1: person should be that. But my job at the end
27:47
Speaker 1: is to prove that he violate a criminal statue. Has
27:51
Speaker 1: anybody else's heart hurt from that? I feel like my
27:55
Speaker 1: soul was taken away when I heard that, Like our
27:58
Speaker 1: alives mean nothing. It's not like this is a witness
28:03
Speaker 1: scene it or this is hearsay. We've seen the f
28:07
Speaker 1: and video. We all seen it with our own eyes.
28:13
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, and that's front page news. When we
28:15
Speaker 1: come back. My son shout to my son. My son,
28:19
Speaker 1: of course, is a rapper. He's from the Bronx. He's
28:22
Speaker 1: an activist as well. He's on the front lines right now.
28:26
Speaker 1: My son and his team shout to Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsar.
28:30
Speaker 1: They are the individuals that are on the front lines
28:33
Speaker 1: when everything happens. When something happens, they are there. They
28:36
Speaker 1: are out there protesting, they are out there organizing, and
28:39
Speaker 1: he is our eyes out there, and we're gonna talk
28:41
Speaker 1: to him when we come back. We're gonna talk to
28:43
Speaker 1: my son eight hundred five eight five one oh five one's.
28:46
Speaker 1: He's been out there for the last couple of days.
28:49
Speaker 1: He's been shot at by rubbe bullets. He's been you know,
28:53
Speaker 1: affected by tear gas when tear gas was thrown at them.
28:56
Speaker 1: He's been protesting at the officer's house that put the
28:58
Speaker 1: knee in George Floyd's neck. He protested outside of the
29:02
Speaker 1: district attorney's house. He's been protesting outside the police station.
29:06
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk to my song when we come back.
29:09
Speaker 1: Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast
29:12
Speaker 1: Club Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy
29:20
Speaker 1: we are the Breakfast Club now, Charlomagne and Year on vacation.
29:23
Speaker 1: So I'm holding it down and I got my brother,
29:25
Speaker 1: my son on the line. My song, how's it going bro,
29:28
Speaker 1: I'm blessed king. How are you doing, man, I'm doing
29:30
Speaker 1: pretty good. Man. So for people that don't know, you're
29:33
Speaker 1: out there on the front line. You've been out there
29:36
Speaker 1: protesting out in Minneapolis. So what are you seeing out there?
29:39
Speaker 1: For people that don't know, and you know, want to know,
29:42
Speaker 1: because all we see is what the media puts on television.
29:45
Speaker 1: So what are you seeing out there? Thank you for
29:47
Speaker 1: having me. I've been here for the last three days. Then,
29:52
Speaker 1: I want to say. We got here on Tuesday, and
29:56
Speaker 1: it's definitely been a lot of protesting. Man. We've been
30:00
Speaker 1: pretty much to the site where the brother George Floyd
30:04
Speaker 1: was murdered at. We protested in front of the officers home, Um,
30:11
Speaker 1: we protested at the DA's home, we protested at the precincts.
30:17
Speaker 1: So I've pretty much seen every aspect of the protests
30:21
Speaker 1: for the most part. You know, the media is trying
30:24
Speaker 1: to project as if it's just been some violent protests
30:27
Speaker 1: and just there have been things. But I wanted to
30:30
Speaker 1: tell you that most of those the violence or the
30:35
Speaker 1: violent nature of it, because there's amongst the protesters there
30:39
Speaker 1: has been no violence. You know, there might be a
30:42
Speaker 1: little disagreement here and there, but for the most part,
30:44
Speaker 1: the protesters ang was the system and the police started.
30:50
Speaker 1: They have initiated violence by shooting rubber bullets off the
30:55
Speaker 1: police station. They've been drawing tear gas, they've been throwing
31:00
Speaker 1: kinds of smoke bombs off the off the present. So
31:03
Speaker 1: that that's from when I got here. S's Tuesday. That's
31:06
Speaker 1: where I've seen, you know, the negativity start. Sure there's
31:11
Speaker 1: been there's there're angry people, but they haven't been any weapons.
31:14
Speaker 1: We haven't I haven't seen anybody shooting anything. Most of
31:17
Speaker 1: the times the protesters have their hands up. I've seen
31:21
Speaker 1: officers point blank shooting protesters that walked just like this,
31:25
Speaker 1: the hands up with rubber bullets, throwing tear gas into
31:29
Speaker 1: full crowds. You know, um, people are angry, and you
31:33
Speaker 1: know they're angry. Man, you've seen the same thing we've seen.
31:37
Speaker 1: You know, the district attorney here um to ignore that
31:42
Speaker 1: and then come back yesterday and say that he didn't
31:45
Speaker 1: see anything that was a crime. You know, it's it's
31:49
Speaker 1: like it's a slap in the face. And you know
31:52
Speaker 1: we most times people people don't want to be here.
31:54
Speaker 1: We want to it's a pandemic. You want to be
31:56
Speaker 1: home with your family. You know, you want to make
31:59
Speaker 1: sure that you say the fact that we have to
32:01
Speaker 1: actually have to be out here to demand justice for
32:05
Speaker 1: something that the whole world see was murdered. You know,
32:09
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's just disgusting. You know, it's really disgusting. Now.
32:13
Speaker 1: You know, people are reporting that they've seen police officers
32:16
Speaker 1: and I don't know how true this is. Are they've
32:18
Speaker 1: seen police breaking windows and starting fires. Have you seen
32:23
Speaker 1: any of that. They're saying that it's not necessarily the protesters.
32:26
Speaker 1: They said it starts from possibly the police breaking these
32:29
Speaker 1: windows and possibly the police starting these fires and then
32:32
Speaker 1: blaming on the rioters. Well, I mean that's pretty much
32:36
Speaker 1: one of the tactics of this government. You know, they
32:40
Speaker 1: put agent Provoca tours into the crowds and the protesters
32:45
Speaker 1: and they create the most havoc and then they you know,
32:48
Speaker 1: they blame it on the protesters so they can have
32:50
Speaker 1: reasons to unlock up, to harm and do things to protests.
32:55
Speaker 1: That's a strategy that's been used for years. You know,
32:59
Speaker 1: I've seen the video. I cannot confirm nor deny if
33:02
Speaker 1: that is actually the officer of who was doing that,
33:05
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying that that that strategy has not
33:08
Speaker 1: it's not anything new, you know, as as somebody who's
33:11
Speaker 1: been protesting for the last eight years. You know, I've
33:14
Speaker 1: I've seen, I've heard, you know, I've been a witness
33:18
Speaker 1: to them. You know, the government and the system putting
33:23
Speaker 1: their spies into the crowds, and they'd be the ones
33:27
Speaker 1: who are actually the ones initiate any level of crime
33:31
Speaker 1: or violence. Now also seen video and you said you
33:34
Speaker 1: were protesting outside the officers house. Now we've seen a
33:38
Speaker 1: video where it looked like they might have been like
33:40
Speaker 1: a hundred officers outside surrounding his house. Was that true?
33:43
Speaker 1: That is definitely true. We were standing there and there
33:47
Speaker 1: was a line maybe started out with about twenty thirty officers,
33:53
Speaker 1: and then out of nowhere, another eight of them came
33:56
Speaker 1: out of nowhere and they just stood there riot gear
33:59
Speaker 1: full rider gear um and you know, just to intimidate
34:04
Speaker 1: the protesters. And it's sad, you know, it's just this
34:09
Speaker 1: whole situation is just sad, and we're just looking at it.
34:13
Speaker 1: Most of these people are traumatized. We're dealing with a
34:17
Speaker 1: level of trauma. You know that that is beyond anything
34:21
Speaker 1: that I've seen like I've seen. You know, I was,
34:24
Speaker 1: I was really young the rocks while it's happened, and
34:28
Speaker 1: you know, I was, I wasn't actually present at the
34:32
Speaker 1: Ferguson situation, but this is something that I've never seen,
34:37
Speaker 1: and I realized that we have reached a balling point
34:40
Speaker 1: in America. You know, I think the victimization and you know,
34:45
Speaker 1: disregard for black lives, for black life has come to
34:50
Speaker 1: the point. And it's not just black people out here.
34:53
Speaker 1: They are way they're probably more white people out here
34:57
Speaker 1: than they are Black people, but they are a united front.
35:01
Speaker 1: Everybody has come to the consensus that what is happening
35:06
Speaker 1: can't keep happening, and they don't care, you know, they
35:08
Speaker 1: are they're not scared. Then they're taking the tear gas
35:12
Speaker 1: and they're coming right back. Yesterday we were out there
35:16
Speaker 1: and before the precinct was burnt down, you know, the police,
35:21
Speaker 1: the police had came out because people were knocking on
35:23
Speaker 1: the precinct door. The police, you know, they have boarded
35:25
Speaker 1: everything up, and most people thought that the police weren't inside.
35:29
Speaker 1: And then next year, you know, when they started to
35:32
Speaker 1: being on the doors, the police came out on the
35:34
Speaker 1: roof and they started shooting bullets, and they started throwing
35:38
Speaker 1: you know, tear gas, and then the crowd dispersed because
35:41
Speaker 1: when they if you don't know anything aboudy, when they
35:43
Speaker 1: throw that tea gas, it spreads for blocks, like it
35:46
Speaker 1: just starts to spread. So everybody's running, trying to clear
35:50
Speaker 1: their eyes, point milking their eyes, do whatever they have
35:52
Speaker 1: to do. And within another five or ten minutes, the
35:56
Speaker 1: protesters came right back, you know. They just they they
36:00
Speaker 1: all fit up, you know. And the next day I
36:02
Speaker 1: heard that the police station haven't burned down. And we
36:05
Speaker 1: do not want violence. And I say this a thousand times.
36:08
Speaker 1: Nobody's advocating for violence, nobody's advocate for negativity. When I'm
36:13
Speaker 1: having these conversations with these young people from our communities
36:17
Speaker 1: and I'm saying, let's let's let's go about this, let's march,
36:20
Speaker 1: let's protest, they look at me there in my eyes
36:23
Speaker 1: and said, they tie the marching. You know that we've
36:25
Speaker 1: been marching for hundreds of years and they're still killing
36:28
Speaker 1: us to these streets, you know, and they're saying that
36:30
Speaker 1: the only thing that this government respects is loss or something,
36:35
Speaker 1: you know, And this is the mindset that they have
36:38
Speaker 1: and they don't want These are good people. These are
36:41
Speaker 1: not criminals. These are not people that's in the street
36:43
Speaker 1: that's doing things like that. These are people who have
36:46
Speaker 1: done everything right. They've done it, They've got jobs, they
36:50
Speaker 1: want to school, and they reached the point where they say,
36:53
Speaker 1: you can't keep taking out alive wanting us to be
36:56
Speaker 1: peaceful quote unfold. You know, this is not you know
36:59
Speaker 1: when they say no justice, no peace, this is the
37:01
Speaker 1: no peace. And nobody wants to hurt anybody. This that
37:04
Speaker 1: hasn't anybody hurt anybody. But this in this property and
37:08
Speaker 1: the capitalistic society that we live in, is what's led
37:12
Speaker 1: to the disregard for black life. You know, These these
37:15
Speaker 1: corporations who make billions of dollars and you know, and
37:18
Speaker 1: they fund these government officials and which fund our police system.
37:26
Speaker 1: Is the reason why that they disregard our life. So
37:29
Speaker 1: they don't see or care about these corporations or these
37:33
Speaker 1: businesses that they're burning down, you know, and the police
37:36
Speaker 1: stations symbolize is the biggest symbolization of what has disregarded
37:41
Speaker 1: our life so so long. So when you see people
37:43
Speaker 1: celebrate the burning down of the present, it's not about violence.
37:49
Speaker 1: It's not about wanting to harm anybody. It's the symbolization
37:52
Speaker 1: of something who was something in a government body that
37:57
Speaker 1: has harmed black people for so long actually being destroyed.
38:01
Speaker 1: We got bore with my son. When we come back.
38:03
Speaker 1: He's our eyes on the ground. He's on the front lines.
38:05
Speaker 1: He's out there protesting. He's just filling us in what
38:09
Speaker 1: he sees out there. Right we'll talk to him when
38:11
Speaker 1: we come back as the Breakfast Club, gomarit morning. Everybody
38:15
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are
38:18
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with my son. He's
38:22
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis right now. He's on the front lines. He's
38:26
Speaker 1: telling us what he sees. And I mean, it's all
38:28
Speaker 1: good to see it through the media because the media
38:30
Speaker 1: could depict what they want us show. But he's there,
38:32
Speaker 1: So my son, I get a lot of people and
38:35
Speaker 1: even seeing on my thing, and you do, and you
38:37
Speaker 1: do both, So you're a perfect person to anton this.
38:39
Speaker 1: People are saying, you know, how do we get so
38:41
Speaker 1: upset when other people kill us? When we kill ourselves
38:45
Speaker 1: all the time. And I think, you know, you would
38:47
Speaker 1: be a perfect person because you're on both sides. You're
38:49
Speaker 1: you know, kings can't kill kings, march and you you
38:53
Speaker 1: try to just advocate for people. It's just not be
38:56
Speaker 1: violent towards each other at all. So when people say that,
38:59
Speaker 1: you know, like, hey, we kill each other, what is
39:01
Speaker 1: your response to that? For us all? My response for
39:04
Speaker 1: that is the one I want people to really understand
39:07
Speaker 1: is when we kill each other, which is happening, you know,
39:10
Speaker 1: with it is poverty, there will be violence, right, you know,
39:14
Speaker 1: And and that's those are just facts. If you if
39:16
Speaker 1: you change the realities of our communities, if you make
39:20
Speaker 1: sure that people in our communities can eat and survive,
39:23
Speaker 1: the violence will disappear. But the government knows that, and
39:26
Speaker 1: that's why the poverty rate in the communities that we
39:30
Speaker 1: come from hasn't disappeared. Because violence is a necessary component
39:34
Speaker 1: to the capitalist society that we live in. They need
39:37
Speaker 1: violence so they can feel jails. They need violence. They
39:40
Speaker 1: need us to continue to kill each other. So this
39:43
Speaker 1: that is that structure has been fed. What I say
39:46
Speaker 1: is when we kill each other, which is by no
39:51
Speaker 1: means anything good for us to go for when that happens,
39:54
Speaker 1: Jay and Joejoe going to go to jail for the
39:57
Speaker 1: rest of their lives. You know, when they're court, they
40:00
Speaker 1: going to spend the rest of their lives. We're gonna
40:01
Speaker 1: lose the person whose life they took in the person
40:04
Speaker 1: who took their life. The police are not being held
40:07
Speaker 1: accountable when we have to sit outside and witness on
40:12
Speaker 1: tape somebody a man sitting on a man's neck, you know,
40:15
Speaker 1: with no regard for his life, to look you in
40:17
Speaker 1: the face in the camera, knowing that he's sitting on
40:20
Speaker 1: this and the man is telling you that he can't breathe,
40:23
Speaker 1: he's calling for his mother. When those things are happening,
40:26
Speaker 1: and they can tell you that they don't see a crime,
40:29
Speaker 1: that right there is one of the biggest miscarriages of
40:34
Speaker 1: justice ever and that is by the system and in
40:37
Speaker 1: the structure that is supposed to protect and serve. If
40:41
Speaker 1: the people was supposed to protect us or the one
40:43
Speaker 1: killing us and they can't even be held accountable, then
40:45
Speaker 1: we don't have a chance. So when we compare the
40:48
Speaker 1: black on black crime quote unquote that they say, which
40:50
Speaker 1: is a myth because most people, anybody crime, crime is
40:54
Speaker 1: committed by the people who are closest to you. This
40:57
Speaker 1: we don't say white on white crime because whites killed
40:59
Speaker 1: more whites than blacks kill blacks. That's a fact because
41:03
Speaker 1: during the numbers tell you that if you google it
41:06
Speaker 1: and you look, more white people kill more white people
41:08
Speaker 1: are black because they are the majority in the world.
41:11
Speaker 1: So that's a fact. But we always want to give this, Oh,
41:15
Speaker 1: but we kill ourselves. Yes, we kill ourselves, but we
41:17
Speaker 1: are going to be held accountable. What we are asking
41:20
Speaker 1: for in this moment is accountability. Envy. If they would
41:23
Speaker 1: have locked those officers up and said, okay, they committed
41:25
Speaker 1: a crime, we would not be here. Why do why
41:29
Speaker 1: does Why is the loss of life, the loss of
41:33
Speaker 1: black life, not as valuable as a loss of property
41:36
Speaker 1: in a mirment? Why do they value property more than
41:39
Speaker 1: they value us? You know? And that and that's something
41:42
Speaker 1: that we really have to ask. So when people say
41:44
Speaker 1: that to me, I say, I understand because I advocate
41:47
Speaker 1: for kings to stop killing kings. I want us to
41:50
Speaker 1: protect ourselves. What I understand the reality. Also, I understand
41:53
Speaker 1: if I can't change your reality, if I can't feed you,
41:56
Speaker 1: if I don't if I don't make the block, you
41:59
Speaker 1: believe that the block is the only way you're gonna survive,
42:02
Speaker 1: So you have to fight your brother who was fighting
42:04
Speaker 1: for the same crumbs that you're fighting for. But I
42:07
Speaker 1: can't change that reality. I know that the reality of
42:09
Speaker 1: me stopping the violence in our communities, it's gonna be
42:12
Speaker 1: very low. And they know that as well. You know,
42:15
Speaker 1: if you look at hip hop, if you look at
42:17
Speaker 1: hip hop, these the same people that come from hip
42:19
Speaker 1: hop that are now millionaires that go and they moved
42:22
Speaker 1: to these nice areas and they pieced for and they
42:24
Speaker 1: support and these people came from that violence. The minute
42:27
Speaker 1: that you change their circumstances, they an't know they commend crown.
42:31
Speaker 1: They wothered about what they had to do. So that
42:33
Speaker 1: that theory is something that we can't allow them to
42:36
Speaker 1: play on us. Because most people who are who actually
42:40
Speaker 1: have gained some level of stature, who have got some money,
42:43
Speaker 1: they utilize these platforms. They want us to say, look,
42:46
Speaker 1: well we kill each other. They want us to say that,
42:48
Speaker 1: and if you haven't, if you don't understand the dynamics
42:51
Speaker 1: of that, we utilize that and we weaponize that against ourselves. Man,
42:55
Speaker 1: you know, I heard how did hear the exact words
42:57
Speaker 1: that I heard was khalifa and then was mad. They say, oh,
43:01
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be doing this. You know, I understand what.
43:04
Speaker 1: We can't be doing this to the communities. And it's
43:06
Speaker 1: something you can't tell people how to vent their anger,
43:10
Speaker 1: especially when you ain't never done anything. Sometimes you just
43:13
Speaker 1: gotta be quiet, You just gott you have to be
43:14
Speaker 1: quiet because this is not your field. You know, this
43:17
Speaker 1: is something people people have been on the front lines
43:20
Speaker 1: of this for a long time, and we've been preaching peace.
43:22
Speaker 1: We've been advocating for peace, and we've been doing it
43:25
Speaker 1: the right way to going to school and we've been
43:27
Speaker 1: telling these kids. But at some point, at some point,
43:32
Speaker 1: the piece that you talking about, the piece that we're
43:34
Speaker 1: talking about differentiates. There's a difference between it because we
43:38
Speaker 1: get to a point where you cannot You can't keep
43:40
Speaker 1: kicking a dog before he bites you back. All right,
43:44
Speaker 1: we got more with my son when we come back,
43:45
Speaker 1: don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Good morning pointing. Everybody's
43:48
Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We all the
43:52
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with my son. Now.
43:56
Speaker 1: My song's out in Minneapolis right now. He's actually on
43:59
Speaker 1: the front line. So he's our eyes and is so
44:02
Speaker 1: for people out there that can't be out there, that
44:04
Speaker 1: can't make it out there, that just want to help.
44:05
Speaker 1: What would you advise that they do? How can people help?
44:08
Speaker 1: You know, what I tell people is there's so many
44:11
Speaker 1: different entry points into this movement. You know, some people
44:16
Speaker 1: on social media all day. Sometimes you have to lift
44:18
Speaker 1: the words that we speak on your social media. You know,
44:22
Speaker 1: that's a very big platform right now. We realize, especially
44:25
Speaker 1: during this pandemic, that spreading the word through social media,
44:28
Speaker 1: especially through social distancing in East Times, you know, that's
44:31
Speaker 1: a very big platform. So if you have a platform
44:34
Speaker 1: and you have a voice, utilize that to spread the
44:36
Speaker 1: message that we have. You know, show that you are
44:39
Speaker 1: aliged with the you know, with justice, that you are
44:42
Speaker 1: alive with what it is that we're fighting for. And
44:45
Speaker 1: as you also, as you said, you can donate to organizations.
44:48
Speaker 1: You know, if you see the people doing the work.
44:50
Speaker 1: You know, there are people like our organization Until Freedom
44:54
Speaker 1: that you can donate to. You know, we have a website,
44:58
Speaker 1: we have a Instagram in page, we have cash apso
45:01
Speaker 1: because as you said, we've been out here for the
45:03
Speaker 1: last five days and it's expensive, you know, we we unfortunately,
45:08
Speaker 1: we were we came to Kentucky, first with Rihanna Taylor,
45:12
Speaker 1: the young lady who was shot eight times in our
45:15
Speaker 1: home by the police who did a no knot grade
45:17
Speaker 1: and ran into didn't even run into a home. They
45:20
Speaker 1: shot through her home and be shot through the windows
45:23
Speaker 1: after they kicked her door through, and a boyfriend shot
45:26
Speaker 1: one shot as a warning shot because they thought that
45:29
Speaker 1: he was being robbed, and he shot through this woman's
45:32
Speaker 1: home and shot at eight times. They shot over thirty
45:35
Speaker 1: shots after they didn't even say hello, this is the
45:38
Speaker 1: police or anything, and they killed this woman. This was
45:41
Speaker 1: a good woman. She was an EMT worker. She had
45:44
Speaker 1: nobody said a bad word, so we had to go
45:46
Speaker 1: there to protest for her. Then we drove down the
45:49
Speaker 1: block to Indianapolis, where a young man, Chaal Rose was
45:52
Speaker 1: shot in front of his home by officer who was unarmed.
45:57
Speaker 1: You know, said then to hear on the way from
45:59
Speaker 1: there that this happened to George Floyd. So we didn't
46:03
Speaker 1: anticipate being a way for over a week, having a drive.
46:07
Speaker 1: We drove from Indianapolis, a ten hour ride. We had
46:10
Speaker 1: to come here, been here for the last four days.
46:12
Speaker 1: We got to pay hotel feeds. You gotta eat, you
46:15
Speaker 1: gotta survive, we gotta take the planes. Probably gonna be
46:18
Speaker 1: here for extended amount of time until all this blows
46:21
Speaker 1: over because it looks like you know, the da IS
46:24
Speaker 1: still hasn't seen evidence that it's criminal. So you know,
46:28
Speaker 1: we want to be here to uplift the voice. You
46:30
Speaker 1: want to be on these front lines. We want to
46:31
Speaker 1: make sure that our voices have heard. You know, you
46:34
Speaker 1: want to continue to just to stand up and be
46:36
Speaker 1: on the front lines for people who can't. So yes,
46:39
Speaker 1: we do need the donations if it's possible. You know,
46:42
Speaker 1: there are so many different ways. I tell people. You
46:44
Speaker 1: have to utilize your yount have to know what it
46:47
Speaker 1: is that you can do that can contribute. You know,
46:49
Speaker 1: sometimes some people don't have them, but we have people
46:52
Speaker 1: who have donated three or four dollars to us said
46:55
Speaker 1: that all path and you know those three and four
46:58
Speaker 1: dollars mean so much to me because I know that
47:01
Speaker 1: you you don't really have that. For you to give
47:03
Speaker 1: three and four dollars, that means that you really wanted
47:06
Speaker 1: to donate because you really want change, and unfortunately these
47:09
Speaker 1: are the times we are in. So you know, any
47:11
Speaker 1: donations that you give to our organization, we definitely appreciate it,
47:15
Speaker 1: and you know, and we're going to utilize it for
47:17
Speaker 1: the people and we and what we do also is
47:19
Speaker 1: when we are getting donations, whatever city, we go to
47:22
Speaker 1: their grassroots organizations in the cities that we actually go to.
47:26
Speaker 1: So as a national organization, we come and we bring
47:29
Speaker 1: those resources and we donate to the to the grassroots
47:33
Speaker 1: organizations who've been doing the work in the cities. Like
47:35
Speaker 1: right now today we have a press conference, you know,
47:39
Speaker 1: and a lot of Stephen Jackson is going to be there,
47:43
Speaker 1: and a lot of different celebrities are going to come
47:46
Speaker 1: in to speak on behalf and demand justice here and
47:49
Speaker 1: there's organizers who've been here, you know, we've been here
47:53
Speaker 1: for years before. When Philando cast Still was killed in
47:56
Speaker 1: this is the same town that Philando cast Still was
47:59
Speaker 1: killed in, you know, this this is the same town
48:03
Speaker 1: a young Somali officer accidentally shot up a white woman,
48:07
Speaker 1: you know, accidentally shot and he senses this officer to
48:10
Speaker 1: twelve years. You know, he's he's he was locked up,
48:13
Speaker 1: arrested and he's doing twelve years in prison. So we
48:17
Speaker 1: know that they can charge officers for killing so they
48:21
Speaker 1: just they just don't do it. When it's us, you know.
48:24
Speaker 1: So those are ways that you can support us. Man,
48:27
Speaker 1: anything but any but just do something. I see people
48:29
Speaker 1: on live. You know. The thing that pisses me off
48:32
Speaker 1: envy is when people are one telling me what I
48:35
Speaker 1: do doesn't matter, or you shouldn't be nobody kids. You
48:38
Speaker 1: need to be doing that. I tell them, won't you
48:40
Speaker 1: do something? Just do anything. I don't care what you do.
48:43
Speaker 1: And don't tell me to do something that you're not
48:44
Speaker 1: willing to do. Don't tell me to go out and
48:46
Speaker 1: shoot and do this and that when you I didn't
48:49

Speaker 1: Be safe you too, love bro. Morning. Everybody is DJ
49:33
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club.
49:36
Speaker 1: Good morning now, Charlomagne and Ye are on vacation. I'm
49:40
Speaker 1: holding it down. We're gonna open up the phone lines
49:42
Speaker 1: when we come back, all right. Usually we do don't
49:44
Speaker 1: get the day here, but we're gonna open up the
49:46
Speaker 1: phone lines. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one.
49:49
Speaker 1: If you want to vent a lot of stuff is
49:51
Speaker 1: going on, I'll give you some updates. So the district
49:55
Speaker 1: attorney said there might not be enough information to actually
49:59
Speaker 1: charge these for police officers. Do we have the audio
50:02
Speaker 1: play audio dramas? I didn't tell dramas the audio was playing.
50:08
Speaker 1: So we'll get Hi a second to pull it up.
50:10
Speaker 1: And I think people will be hard for us to
50:12
Speaker 1: understand how you can't bring charges at least against the
50:17
Speaker 1: officer who had his knee on that man's neck. It's
50:21
Speaker 1: a violation of my ethics to talk and evaluate evidence
50:27
Speaker 1: before we adopt our charging decision. And I will not
50:30
Speaker 1: do that. I will say this that that video is
50:35
Speaker 1: graphic and horrific and terrible and no person should be that.
50:40
Speaker 1: But my job in the end is to prove that
50:42
Speaker 1: he violate a criminal step. And when I heard that
50:46
Speaker 1: yesterday that the killing, of course hurt my heart, but
50:51
Speaker 1: that even that, that damn it took my soloway to
50:55
Speaker 1: just make it seem like, hey, we killed you and
50:58
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do. We're not even gonna necessarily prosecute.
51:03
Speaker 1: That's what that That's what I took out of it.
51:07
Speaker 1: You know. Then I see yesterday they released uh, I
51:10
Speaker 1: guess one officer's body cam, and the body cam was
51:14
Speaker 1: was bull I mean everything was blocked out. They pretty
51:18
Speaker 1: much blocked out what he was saying. It was like,
51:22
Speaker 1: why even release it. There's nothing that you could get
51:25
Speaker 1: out of that bodycam footage. It was nothing that you
51:27
Speaker 1: could get out of it, nothing that you can see,
51:29
Speaker 1: nothing that would made it more understanding. There was nothing.
51:32
Speaker 1: It was. It was like why even put it out?
51:35
Speaker 1: That was even more of a smack in the phase. Well,
51:39
Speaker 1: last night rioters burned down the third priest in Minneapolis.
51:44
Speaker 1: That's the priesson that the four cops worked at. They
51:47
Speaker 1: burned down the precinct. Donald Trump sent in the National Guard,
51:52
Speaker 1: and what Donald Trump wrote on Instagram, it was just disrespectful,
51:58
Speaker 1: like like this, this is what Donald Trump, you're president roll.
52:01
Speaker 1: These thugs are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd and
52:04
Speaker 1: I won't let it happen. Just spoke to the Governor
52:07
Speaker 1: Tim Watson, told him that the military is with them
52:09
Speaker 1: all the way. In a difficulty, we will assume control.
52:13
Speaker 1: But when the looting starts, the shooting starts, thank you.
52:19
Speaker 1: What does that mean? I take it as its open
52:24
Speaker 1: season right when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Is that?
52:31
Speaker 1: What is that? What your president means by that? But
52:35
Speaker 1: let's open up the phone lines. Man eight hundred five
52:38

53:06
Speaker 1: priestin that the four officers worked at. This morning, the
53:10
Speaker 1: CNN crew was arrested, which was crazy. They were arrested
53:13
Speaker 1: live on air. They were reporting, and you know, the
53:16
Speaker 1: officers surrounded him and the gentleman was like, all right,
53:19
Speaker 1: well would you like me to move? Where would you
53:21
Speaker 1: like me to go? You know, if I'm too close?
53:23
Speaker 1: Where would you like me to go? They said nothing
53:25
Speaker 1: for about twenty thirty seconds flat, and then arrested him.
53:28
Speaker 1: He said, well, why am I getting arrested? He says,
53:30
Speaker 1: because you were told the move and you didn't. He
53:32
Speaker 1: asked on camera, well, I heard he has been released
53:35
Speaker 1: the whole Crewise, I didn't know the whole crew was
53:37
Speaker 1: actually arrested, but the whole crew was arrested and they
53:39
Speaker 1: would have been released. Right. Let's go to the phone line.
53:43
Speaker 1: Let's talk to the people. Hello, who's this hey, Denise?
53:47
Speaker 1: What are you calling the front? Georgia, Georgia, come on
53:51
Speaker 1: to mama by it. You know it's sad as a
53:54
Speaker 1: parent of true African American man, and we see this happened.
53:59
Speaker 1: I can in a Kim and a kids. If we
54:02
Speaker 1: don't stand up for something, we'll expect anything, right, absolutely right?
54:08
Speaker 1: What are you telling your boys? What are you What
54:09
Speaker 1: are you telling your young kings? Because I have two
54:12
Speaker 1: and I'm just being really honest with them. You know,
54:14
Speaker 1: I showed them the video just so they I haven't
54:17
Speaker 1: shown my six year old, but I showed my sixteen
54:19
Speaker 1: year old boy and my eighteen year old daughter just
54:22
Speaker 1: so they see what's going on and so they know
54:24
Speaker 1: what to prepare when they go out every day in
54:26
Speaker 1: this world. Now, you're right, You know my sons are grown.
54:29
Speaker 1: I have one in the military and one is a
54:32
Speaker 1: pony's officer, and I tell them each every day. I
54:36
Speaker 1: don't care where you are in the beginning of your life.
54:39
Speaker 1: You are an African American and you are male. Man.
54:43
Speaker 1: You gotta stand stronger than anybody else. You gotta be
54:47
Speaker 1: smart against health and you just gotta push through. But
54:50
Speaker 1: it's these days and time for you all at sure
54:53
Speaker 1: agents is different. And when we were glowing up, Yeah, well,
54:58
Speaker 1: thank you so much. And I know you calling from Joe,
55:00
Speaker 1: so you better not be out and about for with
55:02
Speaker 1: with with with coronavirus. And I know they opened up
55:04
Speaker 1: the state a little bit, but you better not be
55:06
Speaker 1: out and about. Oh I'm not. You have a good
55:10
Speaker 1: right to have a great weekend. Hello. Who's this Hi?
55:13
Speaker 1: I'm Charlotte Jones. Hey, Charlotte, what are you calling from?
55:16
Speaker 1: I'm in my Gumre, Alabama to me this morning. I'm
55:19
Speaker 1: doing well. How are you feeling out there? What's on
55:21
Speaker 1: your mind? I'm feeling I'm feeling great. I'm I just
55:24
Speaker 1: see you guys every more. And I just wanted to
55:27
Speaker 1: share a solution that I came up with that I
55:29
Speaker 1: think that all black Americans can be involved being right now.
55:32
Speaker 1: You know, I sit back and I looked at everything
55:34
Speaker 1: that's going on, and I see the protesting and I
55:36
Speaker 1: want to be there too. But and I'm mean, and
55:38
Speaker 1: I'm sure others Black Americans want to be there too,
55:41
Speaker 1: but everybody can't get up and go protest. I came
55:44
Speaker 1: up with a solution that everyone can taking advantage of it.
55:47
Speaker 1: No justice equals no shock um every Friday and satigy.
55:51
Speaker 1: I that idea from a mont Aubrey's taste. When it
55:54
Speaker 1: took us two bunch to sign out about his incident,
55:56
Speaker 1: I took two days of shoppers for that, and I
55:59
Speaker 1: think that Friday in Charity will be a great thing
56:01
Speaker 1: get Black Americans and taking advantage of that. And we
56:03
Speaker 1: need to shop with our own black businesses. On the
56:05
Speaker 1: other's day, I think taking our money out of the
56:09
Speaker 1: market is a way that we can get some solutions
56:11
Speaker 1: to these problems that we're having. You know, everybody is
56:14
Speaker 1: looking for a solution right now. That makes sense along
56:17
Speaker 1: with the protesting in so many other ways that you
56:20
Speaker 1: can address our racial injustices. We can also take our
56:23
Speaker 1: money that kind of the market too, and that's something
56:25
Speaker 1: that everybody can participate. You Yeah, and you know I
56:28
Speaker 1: agree with you. I agree with you when when we
56:30
Speaker 1: need to hold a lot of dollars, I think we
56:31
Speaker 1: need to start buying and investing in empowering more of
56:34
Speaker 1: our own I think we need to. You know, I've
56:36
Speaker 1: been big on the real estate to owning our own properties,
56:38
Speaker 1: investing in our own communities so we don't lose it.
56:41
Speaker 1: So I agree with you one hundred percent. But you know,
56:43
Speaker 1: as businesses, we need to make sure that we have
56:46
Speaker 1: more black banks that can actually lend the money. You know.
56:50
Speaker 1: The problem is is, you know, I'm a I'm a
56:52
Speaker 1: guy that invests a lot and a lot of times
56:54
Speaker 1: when I try to go to our own to get
56:56
Speaker 1: a lot of these loans, they just can't give it.
56:58
Speaker 1: They just don't have enough ones or enough leeway to
57:01
Speaker 1: actually give the loans that I would need to purchase,
57:05
Speaker 1: Like I purchased a school in New Jersey, and I
57:07
Speaker 1: purchased properties and buildings and and I try to keep
57:09
Speaker 1: it for ourselves, but a lot of times they don't.
57:11
Speaker 1: And we have to make sure that we can go
57:13
Speaker 1: to ourselves. You know, we talk all this about financial freedom,
57:16
Speaker 1: but if we still have to, you know, borrow money
57:19
Speaker 1: from not our own, it makes it difficult because now
57:21
Speaker 1: they're judging us. They can tell us, oh, I'm gonna
57:23
Speaker 1: give you this money or I can you know, and
57:24
Speaker 1: we need to make sure we, like you said, invest
57:27
Speaker 1: in our own. And thank you for calling. Okay, thank you? Hello?
57:31
Speaker 1: Who's this? You know, you know everywhere we listen is
57:33
Speaker 1: Tyler man? All you from? What's going on? What's going
57:37
Speaker 1: on in the shottown? Brother? Oh man? It's uh, you know,
57:40
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy that here, man. I mean, we're I
57:43
Speaker 1: guess starting the process to open their law, but everything
57:46
Speaker 1: is still shut down. I mean, it's like people are
57:49
Speaker 1: not thinking serious. Man in my community in particularly, but
57:53
Speaker 1: we see our my brother's sters not winping the mask,
57:55
Speaker 1: you know, when they're just walking around our side, and
57:58
Speaker 1: it's really annoying. It's just you know what you're saying. Right,
58:03
Speaker 1: But but I put it to you like this, right,
58:04
Speaker 1: because at first I was the same way. Yoh, you
58:06
Speaker 1: can't go out, you can't do this, but you gotta
58:08
Speaker 1: think about it like this, right. People need money, you know.
58:11
Speaker 1: They gotta pay for rent, they gotta pay for carnals,
58:13
Speaker 1: they gotta pay for food. They gotta pay for electricity,
58:16
Speaker 1: to telephone, cable, water and all that. And if I
58:20
Speaker 1: can't work and I can't go outside, I can't make
58:23
Speaker 1: the money to support my kids. You know, some people
58:25
Speaker 1: are lucky. They they're still working now, they're still making money.
58:28
Speaker 1: Some people are lucky they have savings, but some people don't,
58:31
Speaker 1: you know. So it's like they gotta open up the
58:33
Speaker 1: country and I get it. You know, we gotta just
58:35
Speaker 1: be extra careful. We gotta move careful with masks. You
58:38
Speaker 1: gotta wipe everything down. We gotta make sure that we
58:40
Speaker 1: protect our immune system. So I understand. You know, this
58:44
Speaker 1: goes on and we open back up. Now you know,
58:46
Speaker 1: we're having our brothers, you know, getting killed out here
58:49
Speaker 1: just as we start to open up just a little bit.
58:51
Speaker 1: All this crap all it now it's just called the
58:53
Speaker 1: just mass chaos standard. It's absolutely ridiculous and I hate this.
58:57
Speaker 1: I hate seeing like, yeah, I agree with you, I
59:03
Speaker 1: agree with you, And for myself, it's like, you know,
59:05
Speaker 1: how do we how do we raise how do we
59:08
Speaker 1: raise these kids? How do we raise our kids? You know? Profibly?
59:13
Speaker 1: Give the day for you learned to Charlotte bays Off. Yeah, sure,
59:16
Speaker 1: go ahead, bro, And look, man, I just wanted to
59:19
Speaker 1: give it out to Central Park Karen's own. Uh. You know,
59:22
Speaker 1: Andy Cooper definitely deserves arf you other day for how
59:26
Speaker 1: she was treated and absolutely just you know, followed reports,
59:31
Speaker 1: you know, using his black lip as a crime and
59:34
Speaker 1: a weapon again to knowing that that would be something
59:36
Speaker 1: that actually ultimately can hurt him. So she definitely the
59:39
Speaker 1: ss off you O the thing for that. I'm glad
59:41
Speaker 1: she was fired. She was getting rid of the hall somebody.
59:44
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, that absolutely yeah, I'm glad she was fired,
59:47
Speaker 1: and I'm glad they took her dog away from her.
59:49
Speaker 1: But thank you for calling brother. All right, I think
59:52
Speaker 1: Charlotte May would respect that donkey. I think he might
59:54
Speaker 1: have gave a donkey too, but I can't remember. But anyway,
59:56

1:00:20
Speaker 1: calling from? South Carolina, Columbia? All right, what's on your
1:00:23
Speaker 1: mom Mama? It's real heavy today, you know, Like I'm
1:00:26
Speaker 1: I'm like really pissed on, to say the least. It's
1:00:30
Speaker 1: just exhausting being black nowadays. And I mean, I feel
1:00:35
Speaker 1: like we watched this man's life leave his body all together,
1:00:39
Speaker 1: and for the DA to say that he has more
1:00:41
Speaker 1: evidence that's coming that doesn't support a criminal charge, it's
1:00:45
Speaker 1: just it's like you're playing in our face at this point. Yeah,
1:00:49
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so difficult and so hard, and like
1:00:52
Speaker 1: when I say, I feel like my soul was taking
1:00:54
Speaker 1: out my body. It's I watched the men die, and
1:00:58
Speaker 1: I'm upset that I watched it because that's something that's
1:01:00
Speaker 1: all on my it's on my mind. I see that
1:01:01
Speaker 1: officer's face, that devil's face, just kneeling on his neck
1:01:06
Speaker 1: and just looking like and what your arm comfortably in
1:01:09
Speaker 1: your pocket, like that that person isn't resisting, and the
1:01:13
Speaker 1: fact that you had two other officers on the side
1:01:15
Speaker 1: of the sub holding him down, Like what are we
1:01:19
Speaker 1: waiting for? It's like you guys are they're piscing on
1:01:22
Speaker 1: our head and telling us it's not right. That's exactly
1:01:26
Speaker 1: what they're doing. That's exactly what they're doing. And like
1:01:29
Speaker 1: I said, it's it's it's where do we go from here?
1:01:32
Speaker 1: It's like like it's it's no respect for life, like
1:01:35
Speaker 1: you kill listen and be like, oh well, I don't
1:01:37
Speaker 1: think there's enough evidence. And we're sitting here looking like, bro,
1:01:40
Speaker 1: you don't see the same video we're watching. Is there
1:01:43
Speaker 1: a different video that maybe you got the wrong video?
1:01:45
Speaker 1: They send you the wrong video, Like it just doesn't
1:01:48
Speaker 1: make sense. It doesn't. And the President like, he just
1:01:52
Speaker 1: showed us how easy it is for him to sign
1:01:54
Speaker 1: an executive order if he's passionate enough about the subject matter.
1:01:58
Speaker 1: But it's kind of pathetic that you're more passionate about
1:02:01
Speaker 1: being fact checked on social media versus being passionate about
1:02:05
Speaker 1: some sort of initiatives to hold these police officers accountable.
1:02:09
Speaker 1: I just terminate an employment. That's not enough. Is that crazy? Though?
1:02:13
Speaker 1: From the higher coronavirus COVID nineteen, police brutality, all that
1:02:20
Speaker 1: going on in the world, and you're more concerned with
1:02:22
Speaker 1: them fact checking you, Like, isn't that crazy? That's so narcissistic,
1:02:27
Speaker 1: Like you're worried about somebody telling you that you're telling
1:02:30
Speaker 1: a lie. I just can't man. Thank thank you so much, Mama,

Speaker 1: know what you want to hear. I got you as
1:09:25
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
1:09:30
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
1:09:34
Speaker 1: We got a special guest on the line today, my
1:09:37
Speaker 1: brother Caesar, what's up season, It's gonna good morning, good morning,
1:09:40
Speaker 1: good morning. You up early today? Huh every day, every day,
1:09:43
Speaker 1: every day, so all week long, you know, while I've
1:09:46
Speaker 1: been holding down to breakfast club. Angelie and Charlomagne are
1:09:48
Speaker 1: on vacation. I just wanted to do some financial literacy
1:09:52
Speaker 1: to try to help people get to generational wealth. So
1:09:54
Speaker 1: the other day we had matt On and matt with
1:09:56
Speaker 1: telling people how they can get grants to help them
1:09:58
Speaker 1: with their down payments and telling them about the low
1:10:01
Speaker 1: interest rates. And we had the credit dude called up
1:10:03
Speaker 1: Jose who was telling people about, you know, fixing their
1:10:05
Speaker 1: credit during this time and what they needed to do.
1:10:08
Speaker 1: Now with you, I wanted to talk to you know
1:10:10
Speaker 1: how you started, because a lot of people feel like
1:10:12
Speaker 1: to get into the real estate game, you need a
1:10:15
Speaker 1: lot of money. You know, a lot of people don't
1:10:17
Speaker 1: know that your dad was actually a taxi car, a
1:10:19
Speaker 1: taxi gab driver, that you are locked up for a
1:10:23
Speaker 1: little bit and when you got out, you didn't really
1:10:25
Speaker 1: have much money, and you got into real estate. And
1:10:28
Speaker 1: this was kind of the time when you got into
1:10:30
Speaker 1: real estate, when everybody was running away, you jumped in.
1:10:33
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that a little bit, how you
1:10:35
Speaker 1: got into the real estate game and how that time
1:10:38
Speaker 1: reminds you of this time. But when I first got
1:10:42
Speaker 1: I got into real estate back in I want to say,
1:10:46
Speaker 1: oh eight, So that's pretty much when everybody was running
1:10:49
Speaker 1: away from real estate. So it's kind of funny because
1:10:52
Speaker 1: right now a lot of people are scared to invest
1:10:54
Speaker 1: in real estate, right, but it's not as serious as
1:10:57
Speaker 1: back then. Back then, it was just a total crash.
1:10:59
Speaker 1: You know, nobody wanted to invest. It was almost impossible
1:11:02
Speaker 1: to get a loan. I had no money when I
1:11:05
Speaker 1: first started. You know, I had to borrow money for
1:11:07
Speaker 1: my first deal, sold our car, you know, paun Gen's
1:11:11
Speaker 1: engagement ring, got rid of my chain, you know, whatever
1:11:13
Speaker 1: we had to do to get that first deal going.
1:11:16
Speaker 1: And it was a time where banks weren't really lending even,
1:11:20
Speaker 1: you know, even to get a hard money loan. Back then,
1:11:22
Speaker 1: it was almost impossible if we didn't have a track record,
1:11:25
Speaker 1: because everybody was losing money, right And I just jumped
1:11:29
Speaker 1: in and I did my first deal. I made seventy thousand,
1:11:33
Speaker 1: and I kept on going since then, fourteen years later, Now,
1:11:37
Speaker 1: with your first deal, how much if you paid for
1:11:38
Speaker 1: your first property back then. It was a three family home,
1:11:42
Speaker 1: and I believe I got it for damn that was
1:11:45
Speaker 1: cheap fifty thousand, fifty fifty. But you actually lived in
1:11:50
Speaker 1: one of the unit's correct, Uh No, you didn't leave
1:11:53
Speaker 1: in that No. I had the first property ever about
1:11:57
Speaker 1: was a two family right, just like everybody else, I
1:12:00
Speaker 1: bought it at the height of the market. So I
1:12:02
Speaker 1: actually bought that property before I was going into prison,
1:12:05
Speaker 1: because that's when jan had come out pregnant and we
1:12:11
Speaker 1: always said, you know, we want our own house. So
1:12:14
Speaker 1: that's that was the crazy days when you had those
1:12:16
Speaker 1: stated loans back then. So just like everybody else, I
1:12:18
Speaker 1: messed up. I paid four hundred thousand dollars for a house.
1:12:21
Speaker 1: My interest rate back then was eight percent, which is
1:12:24
Speaker 1: crazy when you think about that now when rates like
1:12:26
Speaker 1: three percent right now, right, But that's when I started
1:12:29
Speaker 1: with an eight percent rate. I couldn't afford the house
1:12:32
Speaker 1: that I bought. It was based on my credit and
1:12:35
Speaker 1: that was the first property that I bought, and I
1:12:36
Speaker 1: ended up losing the house to foreclosure for closure, And
1:12:39
Speaker 1: then when you figured it out, you were able to
1:12:41
Speaker 1: buy a three family house that had more than for
1:12:44
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars where it was able to help you
1:12:46
Speaker 1: make money. Yeah, because you know, like back then it
1:12:48
Speaker 1: was kind of crazy. Man, you used to buy a house, right,
1:12:50
Speaker 1: Like the way things were set up, You buy a
1:12:53
Speaker 1: house today and you would refinance and cash out tomorrow, right, right.
1:12:57
Speaker 1: So I bought this house that wasn't worth what I
1:13:00
Speaker 1: was paying for it. And it's funny because then after
1:13:03
Speaker 1: I lost that house and ended up selling, somebody bought
1:13:07
Speaker 1: it as a foreclosure for like a buck fifty wow. Wow.
1:13:11
Speaker 1: So we're talking this season, we're talking about his first deal.
1:13:14
Speaker 1: The reason I'm bringing everybody up to talk about generation
1:13:19
Speaker 1: of wealth and getting in the real estate is because
1:13:21
Speaker 1: this is a perfect time. I tell people that need
1:13:23
Speaker 1: to plan what to do outside of this pandemic when
1:13:26
Speaker 1: this pandemic is over, and right now real estate, it
1:13:29
Speaker 1: looks like you can get a great deal right now
1:13:31
Speaker 1: in real estate, it's not too saturated. People are not
1:13:34
Speaker 1: bidding like crazy, So people can actually get a great
1:13:37
Speaker 1: property two family or three family that might not be
1:13:40
Speaker 1: crazy in price, depending where you're living or where you're
1:13:42
Speaker 1: looking correct, Well, it all depends, man. You know, the
1:13:46
Speaker 1: last three months, things got a little bit slower, right,
1:13:50
Speaker 1: besides the fact that you know, you can refinance and
1:13:53
Speaker 1: get a great rate. So things are a little slower.
1:13:56
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna be honest with you, things are picking
1:13:58
Speaker 1: up already more right, the markets getting busy already. Like
1:14:03
Speaker 1: you know, you might still find a buyer that might
1:14:04
Speaker 1: be a little desperate and you know that they're still
1:14:08
Speaker 1: kind of worried about what's gonna happen, and you could
1:14:09
Speaker 1: probably get a better deal. But it's not gonna be nothing. Crazy, man,
1:14:13
Speaker 1: Once the buyers come out in the next couple of
1:14:15
Speaker 1: weeks and everybody feels comfortable and buyers season finally starts,
1:14:19
Speaker 1: b it's gonna go crazy. It's gonna go crazy the
1:14:22
Speaker 1: last year because there's no inventory and rates are even lower.
1:14:25
Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about last year. You were talking
1:14:27
Speaker 1: about a three point seven five rate, which is still
1:14:29
Speaker 1: low as hell, right, the average back then. Now you're
1:14:31
Speaker 1: talking about the way that the market is fluctuating. You
1:14:34
Speaker 1: talking about two point seven five till you know, three percent,
1:14:37
Speaker 1: So that means on a five hundred thousand loll a
1:14:39
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dolls loan, let's just say rate rot
1:14:41
Speaker 1: wise he talking, you know, just averaging out. You talking
1:14:43
Speaker 1: about fifteen hundred bucks. That's a lot of money from
1:14:47
Speaker 1: up yet. Now, Also, you know when we and they're
1:14:51
Speaker 1: talking about investing in real estate, what's the first step
1:14:54
Speaker 1: people should take? That's the first question all the time.
1:14:56
Speaker 1: What is the first thing somebody should do when they
1:14:59
Speaker 1: run to purchase a property or invest in real estate?
1:15:01
Speaker 1: The first thing you want to do is make sure
1:15:04
Speaker 1: you're qualified. Right, You gotta make sure your credit's right.
1:15:08
Speaker 1: Number one. Your credit has to be right. If you
1:15:10
Speaker 1: have bad credit, you're not gonna get anywhere. You might
1:15:14
Speaker 1: be able to get a hard money loan. Some lenders
1:15:16
Speaker 1: might let you slide with back credit and a hard
1:15:18
Speaker 1: money loan. They used to a lot more, but right
1:15:20
Speaker 1: now because of the pandemic, probably not. So your credit
1:15:24
Speaker 1: gotta be tight. They're out there, your credit is tight.
1:15:26
Speaker 1: You gotta make sure you're pre approved and make sure
1:15:29
Speaker 1: you qualify for that house. Now, for most people out there,
1:15:32
Speaker 1: that pre approving means finding a lender that you go,
1:15:36
Speaker 1: you fill out the application for them. You see that
1:15:38
Speaker 1: based off of your salary, based off of your credit,
1:15:40
Speaker 1: what you can what you can pay for, and then
1:15:43
Speaker 1: from there, that's when you start going to look for
1:15:45
Speaker 1: the profit and for people out there that maybe say,
1:15:47
Speaker 1: you know what, I can't afford New York, I can't
1:15:49
Speaker 1: afford New Jersey. What's some areas that people can go
1:15:52
Speaker 1: to where property prices are a lot cheaper, but they
1:15:54
Speaker 1: might be able to get a great deal, Like you know,
1:15:55
Speaker 1: we always talk about, you know, Detroit where I was
1:15:58
Speaker 1: able to pick up properties for fifteen to twenty thousand
1:16:00
Speaker 1: and twenty five thousand. Are there any other you know,
1:16:03
Speaker 1: criticises like that that people that you would about people
1:16:05
Speaker 1: to check out? You know, I like Chicago. I think
1:16:09
Speaker 1: Chicago is a great market. I think Chicago is probably
1:16:12
Speaker 1: where Patterson or new Ark or you know, Jersey areas
1:16:16
Speaker 1: were about five to ten years ago, or you still
1:16:19
Speaker 1: have a great opportunity to go buy a three family
1:16:21
Speaker 1: over their multifamily or even a flip. It's a great
1:16:23
Speaker 1: market for flipping and to hold long term. I'm compared
1:16:27
Speaker 1: to Detroit, I like it a little bit better, right,
1:16:29
Speaker 1: And I like it better than of course then Ohio
1:16:31
Speaker 1: because their rents are higher. So their rents are probably
1:16:34
Speaker 1: around a thousand dollars to twelve hundred, which is pretty good.
1:16:37
Speaker 1: So you know, like when I first started. You know,
1:16:40
Speaker 1: I had to pull teeth to get a thousand dollars
1:16:42
Speaker 1: in a three bedroom in my area and North Jersey.
1:16:45
Speaker 1: Now we're getting almost eighteen hundred dollars. So eventually rents
1:16:47
Speaker 1: go up. So to be at that price point where
1:16:50
Speaker 1: their rents already a thousand and twelve hundred, it's a
1:16:52
Speaker 1: great way to start. You go over there, you get
1:16:54
Speaker 1: a three family for let's say one hundred thousand, you
1:16:57
Speaker 1: probably make about thirty six hundred and four thousand a month,
1:16:59
Speaker 1: but three percent rate, you're pasted one like crazy. Okay,
1:17:03
Speaker 1: So I know Chicago, we say parts of Atlantic City.
1:17:05
Speaker 1: I think Atlantic City Wall like, you're walking to Pittsburgh.
1:17:09
Speaker 1: I was talking about mcconquering early this week about Pittsburgh.
1:17:12
Speaker 1: She was like, if you're going to Pittsburgh, you might
1:17:13
Speaker 1: be a little too late, because Pittsburgh was one of
1:17:14
Speaker 1: those markets like two years ago that you needed to touch.
1:17:17
Speaker 1: So now this Sunday, we're doing a webinar, most webinar
1:17:21
Speaker 1: where we're actually gonna be breaking down a lot of
1:17:22
Speaker 1: the stuff that we're talking about. So many people have
1:17:25
Speaker 1: asked us to come to their cities, but of course
1:17:27
Speaker 1: we can't travel, so hopefully we're traveling again soon. You
1:17:29
Speaker 1: see they opening up Disney, well, I know Universal already's
1:17:33
Speaker 1: open up. They announced Disney already Disney up next week.
