1:49
Speaker 1: what Jada Kiss ranks. Yes, definitely, he definitely killed it.
1:52
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna lie. I thought Dip said had
1:55
Speaker 1: it until I was in the land about a week
1:56
Speaker 1: ago when I ran into Styles Pete Cousin. His name
1:59
Speaker 1: is Bart. You know, Bar used to man, Yeah, that

Speaker 1: was like, they're gonna win. And I told you, I said, look,
2:18
Speaker 1: I feel like they're gonna be more organized than set preparation.
2:22
Speaker 1: And I said that from the beginning. I was like,

Speaker 1: they've been getting together. If you know the Locks, you
2:26

5:58
Speaker 1: they are gonna require proof of vaccination to get into restaurants,
6:02
Speaker 1: fitness centers, and indoor entertainment venues. They announced this yesterday.
6:06
Speaker 1: The city will start enforcing this program on September thirteenth. So,
6:11
Speaker 1: according to the mayor, about fifty five percent of residents
6:15
Speaker 1: are fully vaccinated, and that doesn't seem very high, but
6:18
Speaker 1: it's higher than the total vaccination rate in the US,
6:21
Speaker 1: which is it about fifty percent? Here is de Blasio.
6:24
Speaker 1: The Key to NYC pass will be a first in
6:27
Speaker 1: the nation approach. It will require vaccination for workers and
6:32
Speaker 1: customers in indoor dining, in indoor fitness facilities, indoor entertainment facilities.
6:38
Speaker 1: This is going to be a requirement. The only way
6:41
Speaker 1: to patronize these establishments indoors will be if you're vaccinated
6:45
Speaker 1: at least one dose. Time for people to see vaccination
6:48
Speaker 1: as literally necessary to living a good and full and
6:52
Speaker 1: healthy life, how long is that gonna last? Well, the
6:54
Speaker 1: start September thirteenth, and Broadway Theaters have announced that they'll
6:58
Speaker 1: require vaccinations for the audience and for the staff at
7:01
Speaker 1: least through the month of October. One of businesses will
7:04
Speaker 1: start pushing back against that if it starts impacting their business,
7:07
Speaker 1: like if it's just not enough vaccinated people to sustain
7:09
Speaker 1: a good business. I want if they'll push back, I
7:12
Speaker 1: don't think. I mean, I don't think even if they do,
7:14
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters. I mean, I think they're
7:15
Speaker 1: going to require it, and it is what it is
7:17
Speaker 1: at this point. And there's having at least one shot, madam,
7:19
Speaker 1: because I got a home who got one shot. Nig
7:21
Speaker 1: going through it right now with cold. I mean, this
7:25
Speaker 1: is what they're saying. The requirements are. It does protect
7:28
Speaker 1: you someway, but vaccinations again, even if you're fully vaccinated,
7:30
Speaker 1: it doesn't fully protect you. Yeah, this person is sick, sick,
7:34
Speaker 1: all right. The CDC has also announced that they are
7:37
Speaker 1: going to have a limited targeted eviction moratorium until early October,
7:41
Speaker 1: until October third. So this new moratorium comes and it's
7:46
Speaker 1: going to apply to areas areas of the country with
7:48
Speaker 1: high or substantial transmission of COVID. According to the announcement,
7:52
Speaker 1: this will cover eighty percent of US counties and ninety
7:54
Speaker 1: percent of the US population, and so Biden's aids have
7:58
Speaker 1: been saying that he lacks the legal authority to renew
8:00
Speaker 1: the existing moratorium because of a Supreme Court opinion by
8:04
Speaker 1: Justice Brett Kavanaugh that's at another extension will require congressional approval.
8:08
Speaker 1: So this is different right now. And so now they're
8:11
Speaker 1: saying this is from the CDC. So it's targeted eviction
8:14
Speaker 1: moratoriums until early October. That's if you have a high
8:17
Speaker 1: or substantial transmission of COVID in that area. But people
8:22
Speaker 1: need that right now because it's a health crisis and
8:24
Speaker 1: a housing crisis simultaneously. And that is your front page news.

Speaker 1: and last night, the Locks really came through and shined,
15:49
Speaker 1: and a lot of people were giving credit to Jada
15:51
Speaker 1: Kiss as well for really just making sure everything was
15:54
Speaker 1: on point for stage presence and all of that, right,
15:57
Speaker 1: but they all were very entertaining. So early on in
16:00
Speaker 1: the battle, we saw that Jada Kiss had some issues
16:03
Speaker 1: and called out Cameron for basically rhyming over the tracks.
16:09
Speaker 1: Were in New York, right, why do you just keep
16:12
Speaker 1: rhyming over the words? Y'all can have stayed in the
16:15
Speaker 1: car listen to Apple Music and Talk Talk Talk Talk
16:28
Speaker 1: the Talk you New York. They called it stratching. This
16:37
Speaker 1: is him hop we in the Mecca, New York. Y'all tech,
16:41
Speaker 1: let's make something happen. I thought the SMD was gonna
16:46
Speaker 1: fly around that time. I didn't think they were gonna
16:48
Speaker 1: make it to ten songs. Even in the very beginning
16:50
Speaker 1: of this battle. It was a whole thing back and forth.
16:52
Speaker 1: Who was gonna go first? Right? Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
16:55
Speaker 1: It was just like set it often set it often
16:59
Speaker 1: because he was this is New York, we're from Harlem,
17:01
Speaker 1: this is our homes visiting ya listen, versus is different
17:06
Speaker 1: now that folks outside. You gotta have your show game right.
17:08
Speaker 1: And the Lock showed a lot of artists, you know,
17:10
Speaker 1: young artists, old artists, how important having a great stage show. Absolutely,
17:14
Speaker 1: you can have all the bangers, like Dip said, hasn't
17:16
Speaker 1: still come up short because you don't have a great
17:17
Speaker 1: love stage show all right. Now, Cameron had an issue
17:20
Speaker 1: with the Locks doing all about the Benjamin's yo chech
17:24
Speaker 1: not only we got time what s It was so disrespectable.
17:49
Speaker 1: But it was all love, you know for a moment.
17:52
Speaker 1: There were some tense moments, but it definitely was all love. Now.
17:56
Speaker 1: There was also a point where every time they came
17:59
Speaker 1: back to the stage, it was more and more people
18:01
Speaker 1: on the stage. Like I said, it was looking like
18:02
Speaker 1: Lolla pullouosa in the garden at the Hulu Theater and
18:05
Speaker 1: they had to clear the stage and that was for
18:07
Speaker 1: both crews. What stage about the kill, kill them, don't
18:13
Speaker 1: just back up the stage. Yeah, get off the stage too.
18:27
Speaker 1: I wasn't shocked that it was mad people on the stage,
18:29
Speaker 1: just because that's in New York and that's you know,
18:31
Speaker 1: hip hop, right, But I'll be shocked that it took
18:33
Speaker 1: them so long to get off. Everybody wanted to Why
18:37
Speaker 1: wouldn't you get off the stage to be on stage
18:39
Speaker 1: because everybody somebody's people. Not that's my brother, that's my fan.
18:42
Speaker 1: But you know, you want to see Fat Joe's not
18:45
Speaker 1: on stage, he's watching enjoy yourself, Pecker's. But my thing is,
18:49
Speaker 1: it's like, it's not about y'all, it's about the show. Absolutely,
18:52
Speaker 1: get off the stage, all right. Now. After that, there
18:55
Speaker 1: was a point where a Cameron Um things didn't go
18:58
Speaker 1: so well at this point during versus since we ain't
19:01
Speaker 1: got no balls rights. If you got a problem with me,
19:05
Speaker 1: you know my slogan, you go get your gun. Cop
19:09
Speaker 1: told my car I'm chept minute something in a different
19:10
Speaker 1: one year. That's how I'm living sun and check it.
19:13
Speaker 1: I'm not just the sun. Yeah, they can't do that.

Speaker 1: with me? You know my slogan, the go get check gun.
19:31
Speaker 1: Oh that's not That's not the bull you get when
19:38
Speaker 1: you whacked though, because dip set's not wack, Cam's not whack.
19:41
Speaker 1: That's just that light bullet right at that moment. That's
19:44
Speaker 1: the light bull you get when your fans are just disappointed.
19:46
Speaker 1: That's all. He wasn't prepared at that moment. It wasn't
19:50
Speaker 1: he wasn't prepared. It was Jada Kiss was getting him
19:52
Speaker 1: out of his own y'all, ain't got no balls. He
19:53
Speaker 1: wanted to show I got bars. It wasn't jokes too,
19:56
Speaker 1: because you know those those jokes was hurting too. Like
19:59
Speaker 1: the way they was talking to each other. I know,
20:01
Speaker 1: you know how to get under somebody's that's not getting
20:04
Speaker 1: twisted camera conspect. Ye can't run has balls, all right.
20:09
Speaker 1: But let's be clear, it's very obvious that the Locks
20:12
Speaker 1: did a lot to prepare. They did, you could tell. Now.
20:15
Speaker 1: Let's and they are friends with each other. They are
20:18
Speaker 1: going on tour together. So while it might seem like
20:21
Speaker 1: there were some tense moments, they always come back to
20:23
Speaker 1: the fact that this was a peaceful battle. Yeah, I
20:26
Speaker 1: saw something like night. They announced the eight Cities last night,
20:28
Speaker 1: right eight cities. Here's how it ended. We said we
20:31
Speaker 1: was gonna talk about each other. It was gonna be
20:33
Speaker 1: no inviting to the front sin those face strikes. But

22:52
Speaker 1: front page news we'll be talking about you. Let's talk
22:54
Speaker 1: about Andrew Cuomo, New York's governor, and some of the
22:57
Speaker 1: reports that have come out about him from the Attorney
23:00
Speaker 1: General as far as harassing multiple women. All right, we'll
23:03
Speaker 1: get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Go morning,

23:39
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the Guy, Creator Wood and Paul so
23:43
Speaker 1: wat should you you're right, let's get in some front
23:45
Speaker 1: page news that did you see talent? The creator said
23:48
Speaker 1: that I don't want to misquote him, but that he
23:51
Speaker 1: was really turned on my jadakiss in this confidence and
23:53
Speaker 1: all that I did see that. All right? Well, the
23:56
Speaker 1: women's basketball team, they defeated Australia seventy nine fifty five.
24:00
Speaker 1: Damar the Rosen he signed with the Bulls. Carmelo Anthony
24:03
Speaker 1: signs with the Lakers. Andre Drummond signed with the seventies sixes.
24:08
Speaker 1: What else we got? Easy? All right, Well, let's talk
24:11
Speaker 1: about New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Now. The Attorney General's
24:14
Speaker 1: investigation into sexual harassment allegations against him found that he
24:18
Speaker 1: did sexually harass multiple women. They did announce this yesterday.
24:22
Speaker 1: They said he harassed current and former state employees, as
24:25
Speaker 1: well as a number of women outside of state governments.
24:28
Speaker 1: The office did release a lengthy report on the investigation.
24:31
Speaker 1: They said he engaged in unwelcome and non consensual touching
24:35
Speaker 1: and made comments of a suggestive sexual nature, and it
24:38
Speaker 1: also created a hostile work environment for women. Now, Cuomo
24:42
Speaker 1: has denied these sexual harassment claims. Here's what he said.
24:46
Speaker 1: I want you to know directly from me that I
24:49
Speaker 1: never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual advances. I
24:56
Speaker 1: am sixty three years old. I've lived my entire your
25:00
Speaker 1: adult life in public view. That is just not who
25:04
Speaker 1: I am. They said that Andrew Cuomo's behavior was not
25:09
Speaker 1: limited to members of his own staff, but extended to
25:11
Speaker 1: other state employees. It was a state trooper on his
25:14
Speaker 1: protective detail as well as members of the public, and
25:17
Speaker 1: he also violated multiple federal and state laws with his conduct.
25:21
Speaker 1: According to the New York Attorney General, Letitia James, there
25:24
Speaker 1: are eleven women with allegations claiming harassment, and they found
25:28
Speaker 1: all eleven women to be credible, and they said their
25:31
Speaker 1: accounts have been corroborated to varying degrees. Now Here is
25:35
Speaker 1: what Cuomo has to say about There were some all
25:37
Speaker 1: these pictures of him touching people's faces and here's what
25:41
Speaker 1: he had to say In response to that unwelcome touching.
25:44
Speaker 1: The New York Times published the front page picture of
25:48
Speaker 1: me touching a woman's face at a wedding and then
25:52
Speaker 1: kissing her on the cheek. I've been making the same
25:55
Speaker 1: gesture in public all my life. I actually learned it
26:01
Speaker 1: from my mother and from my father. It is meant
26:05
Speaker 1: to convey warmth, nothing more. Indeed, there are hundreds, if
26:10
Speaker 1: not thousands, of photos of me using the exact same gesture.
26:15
Speaker 1: I do it with everyone, all right now. Joe Biden,
26:20
Speaker 1: our president, also called on Andrew Cuomo to resign following
26:23
Speaker 1: this report that he sexually harassed eleven women. Here's what
26:26
Speaker 1: he told. Report is at the White House. So will
26:28
Speaker 1: you now call on him to resign? Given the investigator
26:32
Speaker 1: said the eleven women recredible. I stand by that statement.
26:36
Speaker 1: Are you now calling on him to resign? Yes? And
26:39
Speaker 1: if he doesn't resign, do you believe you should be
26:41
Speaker 1: impeached and removed from office. Let's take one thing at
26:44
Speaker 1: a time. I think you should resign. So what do
26:47
Speaker 1: you do if you Cuomo? Because I mean, you know
26:49
Speaker 1: that there's there's no precedent. Trump had allegations he didn't
26:52
Speaker 1: step down. Biden had allegations, he didn't step down. Clinton
26:55
Speaker 1: had allegations people don't ask him to step aside and
26:57
Speaker 1: not campaign for them. So what's the president? What's the stand?
27:00
Speaker 1: If he didn't do it, I wouldn't step down. I
27:01
Speaker 1: mean Biden was in similar situations, Right, that's what's identical.
27:05
Speaker 1: What's the standard? Well, I don't know. So here's the thing, Right,
27:09
Speaker 1: they did do a whole investigation into it. They did
27:11
Speaker 1: find corroborations for these women's stories. They did say that,
27:16
Speaker 1: you know, after this investigation, that they believed that he
27:19
Speaker 1: did these things that he was accused of. So they're
27:21
Speaker 1: not just, I guess at that point accusations anymore. And
27:25
Speaker 1: the New York City House Speaker Carl Hasty, who's very
27:27
Speaker 1: close with Cuomo, has also announced that they're gonna quickly
27:30
Speaker 1: conclude its impeachment inquiry into the governor as well. So
27:34
Speaker 1: you know, people are saying and Assembly Speaker Hasty also
27:37
Speaker 1: says he can no longer remain in office, and he
27:39
Speaker 1: says it's time to impeach him. Also, I just wonder
27:42
Speaker 1: what's the president? Was the standard? I mean, you know,
27:44
Speaker 1: Biden apologized for his behavior. And said he would do
27:47
Speaker 1: better moving forward. I think it was a time where
27:50
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris said she believed the allegations against Biden. So
27:53
Speaker 1: it's just like, what's the standard? So what would you
27:56
Speaker 1: do if you were Cuomo in this situation? You step down?
27:58
Speaker 1: Did you have to remove them? Like? What's the president?
27:59
Speaker 1: That's all I wanted. Seems like nobody really cares. Honestly,
28:02
Speaker 1: we talked about four presidents and nobody said anything. Three
28:05
Speaker 1: or four presidents. Nobody really cared, Right, I just wonder
28:08
Speaker 1: what's the standard. That's a all right. Well, in addition
28:10
Speaker 1: to these claims of sexual assault, they're also probing him
28:13
Speaker 1: over his handling of nursing home deaths during the pandemic,
28:16
Speaker 1: alleging that he botched his five point one million dollars
28:19
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen bookdal among other issues. And so we'll see
28:23
Speaker 1: what happens with that also. All right, well that is
28:27
Speaker 1: your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye.
28:31
Speaker 1: They think about it, all these allegations, they'll still get
28:34
Speaker 1: book deals, They'll still be able to speak at colleges,
28:36
Speaker 1: they'll still be all that. Then now they might be
28:38
Speaker 1: able not to perform at festivals. But now this guy
28:44
Speaker 1: is crazy. All right. When we come back, Malcolm Gladwell
28:47
Speaker 1: will be joining us. Leader Malcolm Gladwell, he'll be here
28:50
Speaker 1: to talk about his podcast, Revisionist History. I think they
28:53
Speaker 1: are like season six right now. And he's got a
28:56
Speaker 1: new book he's working on that he'll be discussing with us,
28:58
Speaker 1: amongst other things. All Right, we'll get into that next.
29:00
Speaker 1: It's The Breakfast Club. God Morning, The Breakfast Club one
29:07
Speaker 1: five one, The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be
29:12
Speaker 1: the same morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne
29:17
Speaker 1: the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a
29:19
Speaker 1: special guest in the building, Malcolm Gladwell. Ladies and gentlemen,
29:22
Speaker 1: welcome back, Thank you, thank you. How are you, sir?
29:24
Speaker 1: I'm doing How do you make it through the pandemic? Man?
29:27
Speaker 1: I was fine. I was up stayed joined myself. It's
29:30
Speaker 1: pretty mild up there. It wasn't went a lot of cases.
29:33
Speaker 1: So I got a lot of work done. They're a
29:35
Speaker 1: lot of running, you know. So you jumped into podcast world.
29:38
Speaker 1: You've been doing that, been doing that and like and
29:41
Speaker 1: we had a big season this this. Uh have you
29:44
Speaker 1: guys been following our remake of Little Mermaid. No, I
29:47
Speaker 1: didn't listen to that one. God I was I was
29:49
Speaker 1: caught up in the historically black colleges. I planned to
29:53
Speaker 1: listen to The Little Mermaid and I saw it was
29:54
Speaker 1: in three parts. I'm like, damn, you went that deep
29:56
Speaker 1: on the Little Mermaid? Did we did more? We spent
30:00
Speaker 1: board time with a Little Mermaid, then the actual like
30:02
Speaker 1: length of the movie. So the movies ninety minutes, we
30:06
Speaker 1: did like two hours. So that was Oh, so did you, Oh,
30:10
Speaker 1: do you listen to my my HPCU, my Dillard stuff? Did?
30:13
Speaker 1: I did? The hypocrisy of the college ranking systems that was?
30:17
Speaker 1: That was a fascinating listen and it was just another
30:19
Speaker 1: example of the cast system in America. To me, I
30:22
Speaker 1: always wonder how they did those rankings too, because I
30:24
Speaker 1: went to Wesleyan University, right, so yeah, that's a small
30:28
Speaker 1: liberal arts college. And I actually taught a class at
30:30
Speaker 1: Dillard University one time too. So it's interesting you talk about,
30:33
Speaker 1: like the amount of money that when these universities have
30:36
Speaker 1: in the bank is a large part of the reason
30:38
Speaker 1: why they might get why they do get a higher ranking.
30:41
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's absolutely the case. It's like this
30:43
Speaker 1: is a system. The US News College rankings is a
30:46
Speaker 1: system devised to let the rich get richer. It is,
30:50
Speaker 1: if you the biggest. The most important part of their
30:53
Speaker 1: ranking system is what's called a reputation score. And the
30:56
Speaker 1: reputation score is simply a score that's a grade. It's
31:00
Speaker 1: given by other college presidents. So, like, first of all,
31:04
Speaker 1: you know how many I was. I was interested in
31:07
Speaker 1: the story of Dillard to the HPCU in New Orleans.
31:10
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was considered an IVLE school. I'd
31:12
Speaker 1: learned that HPCUI. Yeah, it's a really good school. Every
31:16
Speaker 1: college president in the country gets to grade Dillard on
31:18
Speaker 1: a scale of one to five according to its academic excellence.
31:22
Speaker 1: How many college presidents have been to Dillard? Know the
31:24
Speaker 1: slightest thing about Dillard I've met somebody went to Dillard.
31:27
Speaker 1: I mean, it's this crazy system where we let people
31:30
Speaker 1: just so basically, what they do when they give these
31:32
Speaker 1: grades is they just award the schools that have the
31:35
Speaker 1: biggest name recognition, the most money in the bank, and
31:39
Speaker 1: you know, the fanciest dorms and the biggest endowments and
31:44
Speaker 1: the most famous alumni. That's not right, Yeah, Another big
31:50
Speaker 1: thing is the graduation rate, and they failed to take
31:52
Speaker 1: into account that if you're a school like Dillard and
31:55
Speaker 1: you have average family income of someone to Dialard's thirty
31:58
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year, they're they're drawing from disadvantaged communities.
32:02
Speaker 1: It's really hard. You can't have ninety five percent graduation
32:05
Speaker 1: rate when you're coming from a family where if your
32:09
Speaker 1: mom loses her job, you got to go home and
32:11
Speaker 1: help out, or when your dad gets sick, you can't.
32:14
Speaker 1: They can no longer afford your tuition. You know, we're
32:17
Speaker 1: punishing schools for trying to serve communities that aren't wealthy,
32:23
Speaker 1: which is crazy, right, Why are they doing that? This
32:26
Speaker 1: just this drives me absolutely crazy, the amount of weight
32:30
Speaker 1: we give to these random ranking systems that are completely
32:35
Speaker 1: inconsistent with our values, with what we care about. Is
32:37
Speaker 1: people even mean though? Like what you know, Like if
32:42
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, my school is ranked this on the list,
32:44
Speaker 1: Like what does that really mean in the real world?
32:46
Speaker 1: It makes it easier for the school to raise money.
32:48
Speaker 1: It's all about money. It's only about money, these all
32:51
Speaker 1: these things. If I can go, if I'm the president
32:54
Speaker 1: of school that's ranked fourth on the US News rankings,
32:56
Speaker 1: I can go to the big donor and say, wow,
32:59
Speaker 1: you know, look at me. You know, you can give
33:01
Speaker 1: money to one of the top schools in the country,
33:03
Speaker 1: which brings up this interesting foot which always drives me crazy.
33:06
Speaker 1: If you're a really rich dude, why would you give
33:08
Speaker 1: your money to a school that already has money? It's
33:12
Speaker 1: the craziest thing you should You should look at the
33:14
Speaker 1: school like I once did a big podcast episode on
33:18
Speaker 1: this billionaire finance here in New York who gave five
33:21
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars to Harvard, which has forty billion dollars
33:25
Speaker 1: in the bank. Why would you give half a billion
33:28
Speaker 1: dollars to a school that already has forty billion? He
33:30
Speaker 1: does that's money? Or it's like it's like walking into
33:33
Speaker 1: the Gucci boutique and just saying, guys, here's I got
33:35
Speaker 1: a couple thousand dollars. I think you might need it
33:37
Speaker 1: to tie you to these difficult times. Nobody does that, right.
33:41
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of rich people in this country.
33:43
Speaker 1: I think are are They're crazy? Now? How did how
33:47
Speaker 1: did you, as News in the World Report, end up
33:50
Speaker 1: owning the Kyllege ranking space? My chance? I mean they
33:53
Speaker 1: started doing it as a promotional gimmick in the eighties
33:56
Speaker 1: and it caught on. Things about rankings is whenever you
34:00
Speaker 1: do a ranking of anything, people fall in love with it,
34:02
Speaker 1: right everyone, We all if somebody yet a list of
34:08
Speaker 1: the top like morning radio shows, and you guys will
34:13
Speaker 1: ranked number one, you would absolutely say, heyst yeah, like
34:19
Speaker 1: we can't help ourselves. Even though even if I told
34:21
Speaker 1: you that the logic behind putting Breakfast Club number one
34:25
Speaker 1: was like full of holes, you would say, but still, like,
34:28
Speaker 1: wait a minute, there's no holes here, all right. The
34:30
Speaker 1: source has been ranking us number one for about five years.
34:36
Speaker 1: Which one is money though, because you know, if you
34:38
Speaker 1: look at where you live at, right, yeah, it's based
34:40
Speaker 1: off of what the schools will ranked there. So if
34:42
Speaker 1: you're in the district where a school is ranked top five,
34:44
Speaker 1: let's say in the state, you know that your taxes
34:47
Speaker 1: are gonna be higher, you know that the houses in
34:48
Speaker 1: that area are going to cost more money. So it's
34:50
Speaker 1: based it's a number game that that plays with money,
34:52
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, it's I mean these things. This the
34:55
Speaker 1: whole question of higher education or education in general in
34:58
Speaker 1: this country has somehow been perverted into something that is
35:02
Speaker 1: all about how much money can you can assemble. We
35:05
Speaker 1: think what a good school is is a school that
35:08
Speaker 1: has the most money in the bank and spends the
35:10
Speaker 1: most money on educating students. And that's not It's not
35:14
Speaker 1: about how much money you spend. It's about the culture
35:16
Speaker 1: you create. That's what makes a great school. You think
35:18
Speaker 1: they would take the rankings away, but since it hurts
35:21
Speaker 1: so many HBCUs, they should. I mean the end of
35:24
Speaker 1: one of my podcast on this, I said, you know,
35:28
Speaker 1: I think it's time for students at some of the
35:30
Speaker 1: schools that are being privileged by these rankings, the ones
35:33
Speaker 1: at the top that are I think unfairly at the top,
35:35
Speaker 1: been saying no more. Kids need to stand up and
35:37
Speaker 1: say we are being unfairly privileged by a ranking system
35:41
Speaker 1: that's just set up to make schools like us succeed
35:44
Speaker 1: and schools that don't educate wealthy kids fail, and it
35:47
Speaker 1: is wrong for us to be participants in such a
35:50
Speaker 1: system that will never happen, like, why would people give
35:52
Speaker 1: up their privilege in America? They may not be aware
35:55
Speaker 1: of it, though, because this is not something that I
35:57
Speaker 1: knew how these rankings were. I just would read the
36:00
Speaker 1: list when it comes out and be like, Okay, I
36:02
Speaker 1: never thought about what goes into making this list, I think,
36:05
Speaker 1: but this is interesting. Why wouldn't Why is it so
36:09
Speaker 1: hard for people to give up their privilege. I don't know,
36:11
Speaker 1: because I say it on the radio all the time.
36:13
Speaker 1: I would. I want white people to use their privilege
36:15
Speaker 1: to combat prejudice. You know, if you're going if we
36:17
Speaker 1: know you have privilege, so it's not like something you
36:19
Speaker 1: could just put it on the table and say here,
36:21
Speaker 1: I don't want it anymore. But at least you use
36:23
Speaker 1: it to combat the prejudice that exists in outside. And
36:25
Speaker 1: I agree that it's never going to happen that these
36:28
Speaker 1: kids at these elite schools are gonna say no more,
36:31
Speaker 1: let's we're dropping out. But I'm puzzled by why it's
36:35
Speaker 1: so difficult for people who already have everything. I think
36:39
Speaker 1: it's hard for some people to even admit that they
36:41
Speaker 1: have privilege because if they admit that they have privilege,
36:44
Speaker 1: and they feel like maybe I'm inferior and I'm not
36:47
Speaker 1: getting what I'm getting just because I'm good or talented.
36:50
Speaker 1: I think that's why, first you have to admit that
36:52
Speaker 1: you even have privilege, which I think it's hard to do.
36:54
Speaker 1: But I don't think they care. I went to a
36:56
Speaker 1: predominant white high school, right, they didn't care. It was
36:59
Speaker 1: the black state of the Black table. The blacks parked
37:01
Speaker 1: with the blacks park. The blacks play basketball on this field.
37:04
Speaker 1: I don't like how you say the black that's the way.
37:06
Speaker 1: That's what it was. There was the Italians on this
37:10
Speaker 1: on one side, the Asians on one side, and all
37:13
Speaker 1: the African American all the black people on the other side.
37:15
Speaker 1: But that's what it was. Nobody cared until it was
37:19
Speaker 1: basketball game time. Other than that, nobody cared until I
37:23
Speaker 1: went to an HBCU, and then it was a different um. Yeah, yeah,
37:28
Speaker 1: I would have went to HBCUs. All right, we got
37:30
Speaker 1: more with author Malcolm Gladwell. When we come back, don't move.
37:32
Speaker 1: It's to breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ
37:36
Speaker 1: Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast
37:39
Speaker 1: Club was still kicking it with Malcolm Gladwell. Charlomagne, Yo,
37:42
Speaker 1: how do you think rich white kids could could benefit
37:45
Speaker 1: you know from attending HBCU, would also benefit the HBCU
37:49
Speaker 1: by attending a really positive way, But how would it
37:51
Speaker 1: make the rankings of the HBCUs go, Oh, you know
37:55
Speaker 1: that biggest part of the rankings is the reputations. So
37:58
Speaker 1: a college president gets to rank all the other colleges
38:03
Speaker 1: in the country in a scale of one to five.
38:04
Speaker 1: If they see a lot of rich white kids at
38:06
Speaker 1: a school, they just assume it's a good school and
38:08
Speaker 1: they give it a five. If they see a lot
38:09
Speaker 1: of black kids at a school, they assume it's a
38:12
Speaker 1: poor school and they give it a two. Right, So
38:14
Speaker 1: I was joking in my podcast by saying, look, if
38:17
Speaker 1: a school like Dialer all of a sudden had lots
38:18
Speaker 1: of white students, they get a better reputation score because
38:22
Speaker 1: people would say, oh, this rich white kids there, let's
38:25
Speaker 1: give them a higher It's literally that it's it is.
38:28
Speaker 1: I am not being I'm not being sarcastic or ironic here.
38:32
Speaker 1: This is exactly the way it works. So question like,
38:35
Speaker 1: let's just say in the future, like, you know all
38:37
Speaker 1: of these you know, black people who have wealth now
38:40
Speaker 1: and their kids are rich and they start going to
38:43
Speaker 1: these HBCUs, will that make the reputation score grow up
38:46
Speaker 1: or it doesn't matter if they're rich to still black
38:49
Speaker 1: depends how strong you think this kind of racism still
38:52
Speaker 1: is in this country, right? Is it possible for a
38:55
Speaker 1: lot of wealthy, you know, white college presidents to look
39:00
Speaker 1: at a school that educates black people and think it's
39:02
Speaker 1: a quality institution. I mean, are you how how optimistic
39:06
Speaker 1: are you sean Curriculum's curriculum matter at all? No? Not
39:10
Speaker 1: in these rankings. It should listen. I mean, that's not
39:12
Speaker 1: what their interests. That's not what the game's about, right, Like, wow, Now,
39:15
Speaker 1: what was your interest in looking into HBCUs because a
39:19
Speaker 1: couple of reasons. What is I'm you know, I have
39:22
Speaker 1: this ongoing fascination with how screwed up American higher education is.
39:26
Speaker 1: So I started out by saying, you know, when I
39:30
Speaker 1: talked to people who went to HBCUs, they say exactly
39:35
Speaker 1: what you said. They had this overwhelmingly positive experience. And
39:39
Speaker 1: then I looked on the US News rankings and I
39:41
Speaker 1: saw that these schools are at the bottom. Right, So
39:44
Speaker 1: my first question was, how is it a school can
39:48
Speaker 1: do such a good job educating its students. Did they
39:50
Speaker 1: come away saying that was one of the most important
39:53
Speaker 1: experiences of my life and simultaneously be ranked at the bottom. Right,
39:57
Speaker 1: those two things don't There's something wrong with them? So
39:59
Speaker 1: that was one reason I wanted to, uh to look
40:01
Speaker 1: at it to kind of resolve that that contradiction. Right
40:06
Speaker 1: if surely, if the students who attend a school love
40:10
Speaker 1: their experience, that means the school must be good. Like
40:12
Speaker 1: that's just about the most important thing that matters. But
40:16
Speaker 1: more than that, um, the more subtle ways in which
40:19
Speaker 1: discrimination persists in this country that you know, it's I
40:24
Speaker 1: think what's been happening over the last couple of years
40:27
Speaker 1: is that we're finally as a country waking up to
40:30
Speaker 1: the fact that there are layers upon layers upon layers
40:32
Speaker 1: upon layers of discrimination in all manner of different realms.
40:37
Speaker 1: You know, we've got a spotlight finally on police violence
40:41
Speaker 1: last summer. But I mean that's been true for one
40:44
Speaker 1: hundred years, right, But like it takes a long time
40:47
Speaker 1: for people to focus on it and to start to
40:49
Speaker 1: peel away the layers and say, you know, it doesn't
40:52
Speaker 1: solve the problem if you just hire a couple of
40:55
Speaker 1: black police officers, you know, or you have to look closely.
40:58
Speaker 1: And that's why I want to look at the US
41:00
Speaker 1: because that was an example of a highly discriminatory practice
41:04
Speaker 1: that persists because people don't understand the assumptions that drive it.
41:08
Speaker 1: So that's a kind of I think you have to
41:10
Speaker 1: be actively engaged in peeling back more and more layers
41:15
Speaker 1: of this onion. You can't stop and say we're done.
41:19
Speaker 1: That's the thing that always drives me crazy is people
41:21
Speaker 1: who stop and say we're done. You got to keep
41:22
Speaker 1: working at it. What flaws? And I want everybody to
41:25
Speaker 1: go listen to the you know, the project podcast of
41:28
Speaker 1: Revisionist History Board What flaws in the algorithm? Cause historically
41:32
Speaker 1: Black College is the rank solo. A couple, well, the
41:34
Speaker 1: two that we've talked about are the critical ones. The
41:36
Speaker 1: three one is that there are a number of different
41:39
Speaker 1: ways in which your ranking as a school depends upon
41:42
Speaker 1: how much money you have. And you know, schools that
41:46
Speaker 1: serve a predominantly African American population are going to have
41:49
Speaker 1: less money than you know, ivy League schools. Right. Just
41:52
Speaker 1: look at a school like Deal, It's got a down
41:54
Speaker 1: to one hundred million dollars. Harvard's got forty some odd billion. Right,
41:58
Speaker 1: So you get penalized for that. Two, you get penalized
42:02
Speaker 1: for lower graduation rates. And graduation rates are not a
42:07
Speaker 1: function of how good a job the school is. Doing
42:09
Speaker 1: at educating students. They are a function of the economic
42:13
Speaker 1: circumstances of the students. If you choose to educate students
42:19
Speaker 1: from poorer backgrounds, you will not have a graduation rate.
42:23
Speaker 1: It's not going to happen, Right, So that algorithm rewards
42:28
Speaker 1: you for having a high graduation rate, which means it
42:30
Speaker 1: rewards you for educating the kind of kids who can
42:34
Speaker 1: afford to stay for four years and not have any
42:36
Speaker 1: kind of family troubles or whatever, who aren't working. Like
42:39
Speaker 1: if you talk to a kid at I was talking
42:41
Speaker 1: these kids at Diller, you just asked them, do you
42:42
Speaker 1: have a part time job? Sometimes two part time jobs?
42:45
Speaker 1: Do you know how hard it is you guys? I mean,
42:47
Speaker 1: you know how hard it is to stay in school.
42:50
Speaker 1: If you're leaving every day at three o'clock to work
42:53
Speaker 1: on one of your two jobs, and you're working all weekends.
42:55
Speaker 1: You can't do your homework, You can't do you know
42:57
Speaker 1: how many kids it You know, Princeton, I've got part
43:02
Speaker 1: you know, I've got part time jobs when they don't. Right,
43:04
Speaker 1: So that fact alone, it's a lot easier to graduate
43:06
Speaker 1: nine of your students if none of them have part
43:09
Speaker 1: time jobs, and you can do those free internships too,
43:11
Speaker 1: when your family has money and you can travel and
43:14
Speaker 1: go if you live somewhere else, you know, go to
43:16
Speaker 1: another city to be able to do an internship, Whereas
43:18
Speaker 1: if you don't have that advantage of that privilege, you
43:21
Speaker 1: have to get a paid job in the summer doing
43:23
Speaker 1: whatever you can. Yeah, it's we're not so these rankings
43:26
Speaker 1: are not acknowledging the reality of kids from less privileged backgrounds,
43:32
Speaker 1: black or white. Right, It's like, it is a struggle
43:36
Speaker 1: to afford your tuition and stay in school. If you're
43:39
Speaker 1: in the bottom half, it is easy if you're in
43:42
Speaker 1: the top half, right, So you don't give points to
43:45
Speaker 1: a school just for enrolling all the easy kids, right,
43:48
Speaker 1: who says the thing that drives me nuts. If you're
43:51
Speaker 1: educating a bunch of kids who went to the finest
43:53
Speaker 1: high schools in the country, and you have you have,
43:56
Speaker 1: you know, a ton of reasusses at your disposal, and
43:58
Speaker 1: on and on and on, your job is really really easy.
44:01
Speaker 1: It's not that hard, right, Like the I mean, it's like,
44:05
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be we shouldn't be patting you on the back,
44:08
Speaker 1: right for that. We do to so many times. It's
44:10
Speaker 1: like we patted people on the back for like, you know,
44:13
Speaker 1: catering to rich people. I'm sorry, it's like that's the
44:15
Speaker 1: easiest thing in the way. Where you're going to go
44:18
Speaker 1: to school, sometimes you have to choose maybe a school
44:20
Speaker 1: that is offering you financial support as opposed to a
44:24
Speaker 1: school that maybe you wanted to go there but it's
44:27
Speaker 1: too extensive. Yeah. Yeah, it's just amazing to me how
44:30
Speaker 1: America finds a way to throw a middle finger to
44:31
Speaker 1: the poor on every level. Yeah, every level. If the
44:36
Speaker 1: algorithm affects the ranking of HBCUs, is it affecting the
44:40
Speaker 1: ranking of good predominantly white institutions that are that are popular,
44:46
Speaker 1: it will the algorithm will penalize any school that chooses
44:49
Speaker 1: to educate kids from those privileged backgrounds, and any school
44:53
Speaker 1: that doesn't have a lot of money in the bank,
44:54
Speaker 1: and any school that doesn't meet the kind of conventional
44:57
Speaker 1: definition of a high perstigue school. So school that doesn't
45:02
Speaker 1: look nice, have famous alumni, all those kinds of things.
45:07
Speaker 1: So yeah, a lot of other a lot of predominant
45:09
Speaker 1: white institutions get penalized as well. Um, but I think
45:13
Speaker 1: the penley falls heaviest on HBCUs that are choosing to
45:18
Speaker 1: their students from some of these best privileged backcaps. And
45:21
Speaker 1: do these white institutions really suck? You know, they just
45:25
Speaker 1: got high rankings because who go there? Like, do they
45:27
Speaker 1: really know? We're not judging these schools and whether they're
45:30
Speaker 1: actually doing a good job at providing an education. We're
45:32
Speaker 1: just judging them at how much money. Say, that's insane.
45:36
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be about education. It should be Yeah, it's not.
45:40
Speaker 1: It's not all right. We got more with author Malcolm
45:42
Speaker 1: Gladwell when we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast
45:44
Speaker 1: Club morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne
45:49
Speaker 1: the guy we are to Breakfast Club. Were still kicking
45:51
Speaker 1: in with Malcolm glad Well, Charlemagne, And what do you
45:53
Speaker 1: think you'd be done to make HBCUs more of you?
45:56
Speaker 1: We have to get rid of the ranking system. I
45:58
Speaker 1: think we have to, and I think hps are starting
46:00
Speaker 1: to do this. They have to explain to people what
46:03
Speaker 1: they're doing and what makes them special. There is a
46:06
Speaker 1: real flourishing right now of I think of HBCUs on
46:10
Speaker 1: a number of you know, prominent people. You know Kenya Barris,
46:15
Speaker 1: who I was, who who shows I love he's a
46:21
Speaker 1: he's a genius's genius. I think he cares about what
46:25
Speaker 1: you think so much. Feeling is mutual with him. But
46:32
Speaker 1: as a whole you know, this is a whole class
46:35
Speaker 1: of really prominent people in this country who have come
46:37
Speaker 1: out of that. This is an opportunity for HBCUs to
46:40
Speaker 1: stand up and say, you know, we're doing something different
46:43
Speaker 1: and something special and providing uh an educational environment and
46:48
Speaker 1: a culture that is not available elsewhere in the in
46:52
Speaker 1: the high red school system. And if they can make
46:55
Speaker 1: that argument powerfully and publicly, I think there's going to
46:59
Speaker 1: be there will be a shift. You know, people will
47:02
Speaker 1: starting to happen. People are starting to give money to
47:04
Speaker 1: these schools. They're starting to get the recognition they deserve. Yeah,
47:08
Speaker 1: can you gave a million? I forgot? Who can you?
47:09
Speaker 1: He have a million? To one days we see you.
47:12
Speaker 1: He went to he went to one of the Atlanta schools.
47:14
Speaker 1: He went to, not Clark. Did you go to Clark
47:16
Speaker 1: or went to Yeah, he went to one of those
47:18
Speaker 1: in the you know, the more house spell mouse and
47:21
Speaker 1: spelling in that area. Yeah. Yeah. Let me ask your question.
47:23
Speaker 1: You think with everything that's going on, with the fact
47:26
Speaker 1: that players have to go to college for one year
47:29
Speaker 1: to go into the league. You think that's going to
47:31
Speaker 1: affect any of this at all because now, you know,
47:33
Speaker 1: you know, colleges are built on sports, and now the
47:35
Speaker 1: fact that these players might not have to go to
47:38
Speaker 1: college anymore, Yeah, that means that money is not going
47:40
Speaker 1: to be there anymore. They can't break those artists and
47:42
Speaker 1: just make money off them. They can go to the
47:44
Speaker 1: G League immediately get five hundred thousand dollars. I think
47:46
Speaker 1: that will affect rinking at all. That's really interesting. I
47:49
Speaker 1: hadn't thought about that, um. I mean it creates a
47:53
Speaker 1: problem for schools that have you know, think of a
47:55
Speaker 1: school like Duke, which you know, used to be a
47:59
Speaker 1: kind of forgotten school in South now is considered to
48:02
Speaker 1: be one of the crown jewels of American higher ed.
48:05
Speaker 1: They are part of that was built around their right.
48:09
Speaker 1: So you know, when basketball doesn't matter at school like Duke,
48:13
Speaker 1: what happens to do I don't know the answer to
48:14
Speaker 1: that question. I mean, it's really an interesting thought. I mean,
48:18
Speaker 1: maybe basketball means something at these schools. Maybe it's all
48:22
Speaker 1: like for your kids, and the quality of that plays
48:25
Speaker 1: a little less, but we get to enjoy it in
48:27
Speaker 1: a different way. I don't. I don't think that. I'm
48:29
Speaker 1: sort of I'm in favor of the of these changes
48:32
Speaker 1: in the G League In particular, I think maybe it's
48:34
Speaker 1: time to separate the elite players from everybody else and
48:37
Speaker 1: just enjoy college. HBCUs to do a lot better as
48:41
Speaker 1: far as ranking and kids wanting to go. If like,
48:44
Speaker 1: let's say, let's say you're a basketball player, you play
48:46
Speaker 1: high school, you know it if you go to HBCU,
48:48
Speaker 1: nine times out of ten, people are not going to
48:49
Speaker 1: see Yeah, that's right, it's not gonna be. So you
48:52
Speaker 1: go to a school like Dugal or Florida, and you
48:55
Speaker 1: know you will get that airtime that can possibly get
48:57
Speaker 1: a look, that can get you into the league. So yeah,
49:00
Speaker 1: to change that, and we find a way to change that,
49:02
Speaker 1: maybe d et Aaron some of the HBCU games. I
49:05
Speaker 1: think we'll always have that problem. Yeah, yeah, No, I
49:08
Speaker 1: mean imagine if like Kevin Durant had gone to Morehouse
49:12
Speaker 1: instead of Texas. I mean, like that's that would that
49:15
Speaker 1: would really have changed the national equation. I sort of think,
49:18
Speaker 1: I mean, Kevin Durand's proof you only need Kevin, you
49:21
Speaker 1: don't need anybody else. If it doesn't matter, just give
49:24
Speaker 1: him four other guys and he's fine. By the way,
49:27
Speaker 1: if these guys are only going to go to college
49:28
Speaker 1: for a year, go to an HBCU. Now you can
49:31
Speaker 1: make money off your jersey and stuff like that, like
49:33
Speaker 1: it would, but more than that, and you could have
49:36
Speaker 1: an experience, an important experience, a real educational experience, and
49:41
Speaker 1: maybe go back and finish your degree when you're done playing. Yeah,
49:45
Speaker 1: this is just like my last question on the HBCU.
49:47
Speaker 1: But aside from the ranking list, how do you think
49:49
Speaker 1: people view HBCUs on the grand scale in America? Well,
49:53
Speaker 1: there's a difference between the way they were viewed historically
49:56
Speaker 1: because they remember there there are roots are in a
49:59
Speaker 1: period where where these schools were We're segregated, so you
50:05
Speaker 1: know they were they they were They started as kind
50:08
Speaker 1: of also rands where where African Americans went because they
50:12
Speaker 1: couldn't go to other schools. Not also ends is the
50:13
Speaker 1: wrong word, but that's the way white people view them, right. Um.
50:16
Speaker 1: I think that, like I said before, I think that
50:18
Speaker 1: attitude is now changing and people are becoming more and
50:21
Speaker 1: more aware of what is special and powerful about the
50:26
Speaker 1: experience of going to these schools. Um, and I think
50:29
Speaker 1: people are. The other thing is we're getting I hopefully
50:32
Speaker 1: think we're getting away from a model which says that
50:36
Speaker 1: there's there's a kind of one size fits all notion
50:39
Speaker 1: of quality. Right that it's you know that My real
50:44
Speaker 1: problem with rankings is it assumes that you can say
50:47
Speaker 1: that one school is number one and one school is
50:49
Speaker 1: number two, and that holds true for anyone who wants
50:51
Speaker 1: to go to those schools. It's not true, right, right,
50:54
Speaker 1: We've got to go back to an idea that says
50:56
Speaker 1: there ought to be fifty different kinds of schools that
50:59
Speaker 1: serve fiftyfferent kinds of students, that have fifty different kinds
51:02
Speaker 1: of cultures, and you need to find the one that
51:04
Speaker 1: matches what's good for you. I wanted to ask you
51:06
Speaker 1: about books real quick. Is it even worth putting out
51:09
Speaker 1: a hard couple of books anymore? Because I look at
51:11
Speaker 1: the numbers you did for talking to strangers audio wise?
51:14
Speaker 1: Is it even worth it? Not for you? I mean
51:17
Speaker 1: you should be you should be doing these kinds of
51:21
Speaker 1: I mean, you already have an audience that wants to
51:23
Speaker 1: hear you, listen to you, right, that's used to listening
51:27
Speaker 1: to you. That and you have h you know, things
51:32
Speaker 1: to say. I mean, I think, for if you're if
51:35
Speaker 1: you were writing a you know, a history of the
51:37
Speaker 1: Roman Republic, I would say that's a hardcover book. Um,
51:40
Speaker 1: but if the stuff you want to talk about and
51:42
Speaker 1: giving your position, I think an audio you're you should
51:44
Speaker 1: be an audio first person books all the time. But
51:49
Speaker 1: you would listen to an audiobook, I think. I honestly,
51:52
Speaker 1: I can't believe she's like, no, I mean that, you're
51:56
Speaker 1: absolutely right. I also like how books look like to me,
52:00
Speaker 1: books kind of look like art because I have libraries
52:02
Speaker 1: and every room in my house, like I have bookshelves
52:05
Speaker 1: and everything, and I collect books like art, you know,
52:08
Speaker 1: and I like to have them and I like to
52:09
Speaker 1: get them like signed and keep them like that. And
52:12
Speaker 1: I also read more than I listen to audiobooks. Yeah,
52:15
Speaker 1: oh no, at this point I'm audiobooks all. I think.
52:17
Speaker 1: It depends on the story you want to tell, Like
52:18
Speaker 1: the story I was telling about this book I want
52:20
Speaker 1: to do on Tom Bradley on Los Angeles. I want
52:23
Speaker 1: to do what we call an enhanced audio book because
52:25
Speaker 1: I want you to hear all these people. I want
52:28
Speaker 1: you to you know, I want you to hear Tom Bradley.
52:31
Speaker 1: I want you to hear Darryl Gates. I want you
52:33
Speaker 1: to hear the emotion in people's voices. I was innating
52:36
Speaker 1: the sky last week and he was talking about what
52:40
Speaker 1: the LAPD used to call the prone position. You know,
52:43
Speaker 1: they would pull you over and you know, for some
52:46
Speaker 1: random offense, and they would tell you to get prone,
52:49
Speaker 1: and that meant that you would you had to lie
52:51
Speaker 1: down on the face first on the tarmac with your
52:56
Speaker 1: hands out and your legs spread right. And as he
52:58
Speaker 1: was talking about it, there was real emotion in his
53:01
Speaker 1: voice as you remember this humiliating experience that happened to
53:04
Speaker 1: him as a kid. That's important to me. I want
53:07
Speaker 1: when I'm doing this book and I'm describing what the
53:09
Speaker 1: LAPD was doing in those years, it is important to
53:12
Speaker 1: me that you hear the testimony of someone in their
53:15
Speaker 1: own voice, and that you hear how he is now.
53:18
Speaker 1: This guy's a this is thirty years ago. He's a
53:20
Speaker 1: grown man, he's a successful man, gone off, and when
53:23
Speaker 1: he remembers what happened to him when he was eighteen
53:26
Speaker 1: on some street in South Central he gets emotional right,
53:29
Speaker 1: and you need to hear that emotion that's why I
53:32
Speaker 1: want to do an audiobook. I can do it on
53:34
Speaker 1: the page, but it doesn't pact the same. And you
53:37
Speaker 1: can if you're someone who has no experience of what
53:39
Speaker 1: it meant, what was like being an eighteen year old
53:42
Speaker 1: African American in nineteen seventy five and South central you
53:46
Speaker 1: can turn the page easily and doesn't register. But if
53:48
Speaker 1: you hear his voice and you hear how it's still
53:51
Speaker 1: captivated things, it holds you. So it's gonna be for
53:54
Speaker 1: audible to Tom Bradley, Yeah, but it's going to be
53:56
Speaker 1: an audiobook, Yeah, for audible artists will also release probably
54:00
Speaker 1: on our own. We have our our own direct download
54:04
Speaker 1: U pushkin that we release our audiobooks. But yeah, were
54:07
Speaker 1: in both places. Got wow. We appreciate you for joining us.
54:11
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Always always, always a pleasure hearing
54:15
Speaker 1: from you. Malcolm glad Well, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
54:19
Speaker 1: it's about Angela ye on the Breakfast Club. Well, as
54:30
Speaker 1: you should know by now. Simon and Vials with two
54:32
Speaker 1: from four in individual finals in the Olympics all around
54:37
Speaker 1: bought Flora uneven bars and she said she had mental
54:40
Speaker 1: health concerns and the and the twisties, which is when
54:42
Speaker 1: you lose your sense of awareness and the air. Now,
54:45
Speaker 1: she did return and she did win a medal and
54:48
Speaker 1: the balance beam final yesterday, and she said she did
54:51
Speaker 1: that for herself. I just felt like I wanted to
54:54
Speaker 1: do this for me. Um. I really wasn't medically cleared
54:57
Speaker 1: to do with the other events that I had qualified
54:59
Speaker 1: in too, so tonight I just wanted to get up there,
55:02
Speaker 1: have fun, do might being routine and then just see
55:05
Speaker 1: what happens. Now. What people didn't know was that her
55:07
Speaker 1: aunt had also passed, So it was her aunt's unexpected
55:11
Speaker 1: death that she was going through during the Olympics. So
55:13
Speaker 1: you never know. While people are being mean on social
55:16
Speaker 1: media and saying all kinds of things, mentally, you don't
55:18
Speaker 1: know what someone's going through. And she does want to
55:20
Speaker 1: keep that conversation going, right. I definitely think we're on
55:25
Speaker 1: the right road for a different path and the next
55:28
Speaker 1: generations you can already see it. They have some different
55:31
Speaker 1: rules in place for a basically everything now, so we
55:35
Speaker 1: just have to keep them held responsible and just move on.
55:38
Speaker 1: And do you want to continue to be part of
55:40
Speaker 1: those conversations. I think so. I think it's helpful, especially
55:43
Speaker 1: having somebody that's gone through it and knows. She also
55:46
Speaker 1: said she chose to compete on the balance being she
55:48
Speaker 1: said she didn't have to twist or do anything, so
55:51
Speaker 1: it was very much at less risk because she had
55:54
Speaker 1: a different dismount. Also, I respected your mental health is
55:57
Speaker 1: non negotiable, and you know, I respect the fact that
55:59
Speaker 1: she's twenty five years old and she has that education
56:01
Speaker 1: in that language in regards the mental health, because I'm
56:04
Speaker 1: forty three and I'm just comfortable telling people no, I'm
56:07
Speaker 1: not coming because of the way my anxiety is shut up. Okay,
56:10
Speaker 1: all right, Now let's discuss Sean King. Now, he is
56:13
Speaker 1: moving out of his new house because of backlash. You know,
56:17
Speaker 1: there was a whole story about how he bought this
56:20
Speaker 1: house in North Brunswick, New Jersey, which is worth reportedly
56:23
Speaker 1: eight hundred and forty two thousand dollars. He moved into
56:25
Speaker 1: this home earlier this year, but now a lot of
56:29
Speaker 1: people are showing up at his house because the media
56:32
Speaker 1: has plastered their address all over the New York Post,
56:36
Speaker 1: which is crazy. So he posted today, I've had to
56:39
Speaker 1: make a heartbreaking decision after a combination of Fox News,
56:42
Speaker 1: the New York Posts, and other outlets posting pictures of
56:44
Speaker 1: my home across the internet. We've now seen our address
56:47
Speaker 1: posted all over the internet. Strangers have started coming by
56:49
Speaker 1: the house. My kids can't go outside and play during
56:52
Speaker 1: the final month of summer break, so we're moving. I
56:54
Speaker 1: suppose it might always be this way. I don't know.
56:56
Speaker 1: My wife bought this home her first after working her
56:59
Speaker 1: as I saw, for over twenty years. It took her
57:01
Speaker 1: nearly a year to even be able to purchase it.
57:03
Speaker 1: It was a quiet and peaceful refuge for her, for
57:05
Speaker 1: our five kids, for our dogs, and our mothers, and
57:08
Speaker 1: it wasn't excessive. Again, she got a literal fah loan
57:11
Speaker 1: to purchase it. I'm not even on the loan. But
57:13
Speaker 1: now we're not safe, and we'll never be safe here again.
57:15
Speaker 1: I don't care how you feel about Sean King. That's foul,
57:18
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, because your home is you sanctuary.
57:20
Speaker 1: That man got a whole family, and man got kids.
57:22
Speaker 1: There's nobody that would want that to happen to them.
57:25
Speaker 1: And I don't know how he You don't know how
57:27
Speaker 1: he got his money, how long they've been saving, what
57:29
Speaker 1: they do. You don't want that on anybody, and showing
57:31
Speaker 1: if you're listening, you reach out to me and Charlemagne
57:34
Speaker 1: and we'll show you how to do it the right
57:36
Speaker 1: way where your name doesn't pop up to what are
57:38
Speaker 1: you putting money in this? Because tell me what you
57:40
Speaker 1: got playing that knows you, knows you you mean, haven't
57:44
Speaker 1: reached out to me to pass from the Okay, okay, don't.
57:49
Speaker 1: This is right because it wants a delivery person sees
57:52
Speaker 1: where you live. Anything, it's you know, that's your whole family.
57:55
Speaker 1: He gotta up and move because people put his address
57:58
Speaker 1: out there and it's already not safe for him. You
58:00
Speaker 1: know what. That's crazy? You got don't you don't do
58:02
Speaker 1: that to people. Bro, you're endorsing his wife cry multiple
58:05
Speaker 1: times this week over the devastation of it all. He said,
58:08
Speaker 1: shame on every black man and women who shared it
58:10
Speaker 1: with Glee. Shame on you for what you've done to them.
58:13
Speaker 1: But I've seen all those reports about the amount, the
58:15
Speaker 1: price of the house, and how's he making the money?
58:17
Speaker 1: Where is he getting that money from? You don't know
58:19
Speaker 1: what that man does outside of his political because that
58:22
Speaker 1: his wife did it. He's not even on the loan.
58:24
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. What they do his wife has
58:26
Speaker 1: been educator for a long time. Absolutely got a loan
58:29
Speaker 1: and the house is what eight hundred thousand dollars? So
58:32
Speaker 1: how much is that hunting down payment? Is that? Well,
58:34
Speaker 1: he had to put an fh a loan. A loan
58:36
Speaker 1: is either three or three point five percent, so if
58:38
Speaker 1: you think about it, that's about thirty five thousand dollars
58:41
Speaker 1: he had to put down out of pocket. His mortgage
58:42
Speaker 1: is about probably four or five thousand dollars a month,
58:45
Speaker 1: and between both of them they make it. I'm sure
58:47
Speaker 1: the man got a book deal. Yes, she's the educator.
58:50
Speaker 1: Like stop now, that's messed up. That's foul, all right now.
58:54
Speaker 1: So we do wish them the best, though, because we
58:56
Speaker 1: don't wish that on anybody's not at all. And I
59:00
Speaker 1: do need to be more responsible. If you don't like somebody, great,
59:02
Speaker 1: but you don't have to be posting their home and
59:04
Speaker 1: their address and endangering their families. And what if what
59:06
Speaker 1: if the person who posted that in the New York Post,
59:08
Speaker 1: what if somebody posted their address online like that and
59:11
Speaker 1: people started showing up to their house and threatening them,
59:13
Speaker 1: how would they feel? All right? Now? T I was
59:15
Speaker 1: arrested in Amsterdam and he explained what happened. He explained
59:18
Speaker 1: the situation. He and his wife Tiny were in Italy
59:21
Speaker 1: celebrating their eleventh wedding anniversary, and I guess at some
59:24
Speaker 1: point they stopped in Amsterdam while they were in Europe.
59:26
Speaker 1: He said he didn't get handcuffed or search but instead
59:28
Speaker 1: they asked him to get in the back of their car.
59:31
Speaker 1: So I'm locked up now. I'm obviously not supposed to
59:35
Speaker 1: have my phone as I'm biking, and because the policeman
59:40
Speaker 1: ran into me and broke his rear view, and because
59:44
Speaker 1: they don't, I didn't have my passport on it. I
59:47
Speaker 1: don't know. It would be fun a right, I was biking, yeah,
59:53
Speaker 1: you know in Amsterdam they bike everywhere. As a matter
59:55
Speaker 1: of fact, one time I was in Amsterdam and the
59:58
Speaker 1: cab I was in hit somebody on a bi and
1:00:00
Speaker 1: they're so polite. There the guy on the bike that
1:00:02
Speaker 1: was laying on the ground, and he was like, go
1:00:03
Speaker 1: ahead and take them where they have to go and
1:00:05
Speaker 1: I'll just wait here. You know, that wouldn't happen. But
1:00:07
Speaker 1: they bike everywhere and they've been doing that. Is that
1:00:10
Speaker 1: because they high I don't know, yeah, maybe, yeah, all right, now,
1:00:16
Speaker 1: Boosey's second Instagram account has been deactivated, and that's all
1:00:20
Speaker 1: because of some things that he said on social media.
1:00:22
Speaker 1: And he went and put up another one again already.
1:00:25
Speaker 1: So you have to follow him on his new page
1:00:28
Speaker 1: if you want to. Yeah, it's like three pages now
1:00:30
Speaker 1: that you can go today. I think he posts like
1:00:32
Speaker 1: the same stuff on all them. So now he's got
1:00:33
Speaker 1: at he's back again twenty twenty one. Yeah, I think
1:00:36
Speaker 1: he'd been at that one. I think he'd been at
1:00:38
Speaker 1: that one, and he said he's getting bullied. He said,
1:00:40
Speaker 1: you can't even say the word now unless you're uplifting it,
1:00:43
Speaker 1: you know, the opposite of straight. Yeah, that one. They
1:00:45
Speaker 1: don't took my August again. So yeah, he's got another.
1:00:49
Speaker 1: I mean, you can say that word, you just can't,
1:00:50
Speaker 1: you know, threaten to beat beat people from from that
1:00:53
Speaker 1: community up. He did say, you want to pull a
1:00:55
Speaker 1: little nas X off stage and put hands on him,
1:00:58
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think that's gonna fly. On Instagram.
1:01:01
Speaker 1: He also added Massari from Instagram and told him that
1:01:04
Speaker 1: he's a bitch. That's not gonna work. That's gonna work.
1:01:08
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't call the head of Instagram to
1:01:10
Speaker 1: b word and then wonder why your page is getting
1:01:13
Speaker 1: taken down. Boosey. That's not how any of it works.
1:01:16
Speaker 1: That's not gonna work boy. All right, well that is

Speaker 1: I know, Charlottegnie gott gouts funny. You gotta say something

Speaker 1: don't don't here the day, right, there's a breakfast club. Bitches,
1:02:19
Speaker 1: you can call me the donkey of the day, but
1:02:21
Speaker 1: like I mean no harm. Wow. Donkey to Day for Wednesday,
1:02:25
Speaker 1: August fourth goes to a twenty two year old man
1:02:27
Speaker 1: named Max Berry. Very important to note that Max is
1:02:30
Speaker 1: a formal former Ohio Weslan University student. Actually it's not
1:02:35
Speaker 1: important to note, but it's the first line of this
1:02:37
Speaker 1: news report I'm reading on WBNS News Channel ten, Miami.
1:02:41
Speaker 1: And it's clear why that's the first line, but we'll
1:02:44
Speaker 1: get to that. Max Berry was arrested for wild out
1:02:47
Speaker 1: on the plane. Now, Max is absolutely one of those
1:02:49
Speaker 1: people who could have been on stage at Versus last
1:02:51
Speaker 1: night because he likes to fight, all right, He's a
1:02:53
Speaker 1: wild boy like nineteen ninety early two thousands levels of
1:02:57
Speaker 1: problematic hip hop wild Okay, wild out by lots was
1:03:00
Speaker 1: probably always playing on a loop in Max Berry's head.
1:03:03
Speaker 1: And Max Barry was on a Frontier Airlines flight. The
1:03:06
Speaker 1: only reason I'm naming the airline is because I have
1:03:08
Speaker 1: to let listeners nowhere it's going down at In case
1:03:11
Speaker 1: you want to avoid are prepare for any problem. See,
1:03:15
Speaker 1: if you know where it's going down at, you can
1:03:17
Speaker 1: make executive decisions to a not show up or B
1:03:21
Speaker 1: be prepared to fight. Okay, you gotta dress a certain
1:03:24
Speaker 1: way just in case you gotta fight. You saw how
1:03:25
Speaker 1: the lots would dress last night, minus a little bit
1:03:27
Speaker 1: of jurlry on kids. They were ready for battle. And
1:03:29
Speaker 1: when you're hear stories like Max Berry, you need to
1:03:31
Speaker 1: be prepared for battle on fronteen airlines too. Okay, Now,
1:03:35
Speaker 1: Max was on a flight from Philly to Miami. I
1:03:38
Speaker 1: can't blame this one on Florida because he's from Ohio,
1:03:41
Speaker 1: but I have a feeling. You know, just like you
1:03:43
Speaker 1: have to prepare for battles, Max was preparing for Florida.
1:03:45
Speaker 1: So he was getting into his Florida fools zone. See,
1:03:48
Speaker 1: some people don't wait to get to Florida to acadamn fool.
1:03:50
Speaker 1: They turn in the fools before they get to Florida.
1:03:53
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to put the whole armor of a
1:03:55
Speaker 1: Florida fool on to prepare for Florida. And just know
1:03:59
Speaker 1: that God takes care of babies and fools. Wait, I'm
1:04:04
Speaker 1: getting a download. Would you say, God, Oh, don't bring
1:04:06
Speaker 1: you into this When it comes to Florida. Oh Satan
1:04:09
Speaker 1: got a kingdom to Oh my bad, all praisers do
1:04:11
Speaker 1: to God? Who just informed me? I have nothing to
1:04:13
Speaker 1: do with this now, Max Berry, what did he do?
1:04:15
Speaker 1: Let's go to WPLG ABC ten for the report. Please
1:04:18
Speaker 1: this video showing a violent confrontation between a flight attendant
1:04:22
Speaker 1: and passenger during a flight from Philadelphia to Miami. Moments later,
1:04:28
Speaker 1: flight attendant restrained the passenger with a seatbelt extender and
1:04:32
Speaker 1: duct taped him to his seat. The unruly passenger, identified
1:04:35
Speaker 1: as twenty two year old Maxwell Barry, started with a
1:04:38
Speaker 1: profanity lace tirade against a flight attendant. Miami Dade police
1:04:42
Speaker 1: say Berry had a few alcoholic drinks, then groped the
1:04:44
Speaker 1: breasts of two female flight attendants and punched a male
1:04:48
Speaker 1: flight attendant, prompting crew members to subdue him. The flight
1:04:51
Speaker 1: attendants involved have been relieved of flying duty during the investigation.
1:04:55
Speaker 1: As far as the suspect, he was arrested and charged
1:04:58
Speaker 1: with battery after he land did here at Miami International Airport.
1:05:02
Speaker 1: Max brushed that news report was kind of cute, you
1:05:06
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They didn't give the details I wanted, Okay,
1:05:10
Speaker 1: But the Max brushed an empty cup against the attendance backside.
1:05:14
Speaker 1: The attendant told Max not to touch them, and then
1:05:18
Speaker 1: Maxwell spilled his drink on his shirt, went to the restroom.
1:05:22
Speaker 1: Then Maxwell Barry groped a flight attendants breast. Then the
1:05:25
Speaker 1: report says, Barry walked up behind two flight attendants, put
1:05:28
Speaker 1: his arms around him and groped their breast again. So
1:05:31
Speaker 1: the flight attendants asked another flight attendant to watch Maxwell Barry,
1:05:34
Speaker 1: and then Maxwell Berry punched that flight attendant in the face. Okay,
1:05:38
Speaker 1: the news report could have easily painted this kid out
1:05:41
Speaker 1: to be an unruly thug who not only sexually assaulted
1:05:44
Speaker 1: women by groping them, he actually assaulted a flight intendant
1:05:47
Speaker 1: by trying to fight him, actually punched him. Okay. Instead,
1:05:51
Speaker 1: news reports point out that he went to college, and
1:05:53
Speaker 1: that report we heard from ABC ten WPLG, didn't, you know,
1:05:57
Speaker 1: make it sound like he was committing actual crimes. They
1:05:59
Speaker 1: treating him to way they treating the domestic terrorists who
1:06:01
Speaker 1: storming the Capitol on January sixth. Just My Daily reminded
1:06:04
Speaker 1: that there was an attempted coup on this country on
1:06:06
Speaker 1: January sixth, and they treated it like a bunch of
1:06:08
Speaker 1: kid while and I'm gonna spring break just like they're
1:06:10
Speaker 1: treating Max Barry. Now, would you like to hear how
1:06:12
Speaker 1: Max Berry sounded before he punched the flight attendant. By
1:06:15
Speaker 1: the way, I don't know if the flight attended was
1:06:16
Speaker 1: male or female. But listen, my paris down. Yeah, my
1:06:25
Speaker 1: grandma shut down. M the entitlement, the privilege. We don't
1:06:39
Speaker 1: even have to play a game. I guess what race
1:06:41
Speaker 1: it is okay to call Cassidy of Maxwell Berry. I
1:06:44
Speaker 1: hate a do you know who I am? Type of person?
1:06:47
Speaker 1: And I hate do you know who my parents are
1:06:49
Speaker 1: a type of person even more. Okay, Now I respect
1:06:53
Speaker 1: my elders and I'm a more healed version of myself.
1:06:55
Speaker 1: But if someone told Max Fiel grandma in that moment,
1:06:59
Speaker 1: I can understand. Okay, now that it's clear that his
1:07:02
Speaker 1: parents or somebody though, because you can tell how these
1:07:05
Speaker 1: news reporters or reporting this story like. They even spoke
1:07:08
Speaker 1: to a spokesperson for Ohio Weslan University who said Maxwell
1:07:13
Speaker 1: Barry was a former student who graduated in May and
1:07:16
Speaker 1: me and he was a member of the school's golf team.
1:07:19
Speaker 1: So what Okay? They put all of this in the
1:07:22
Speaker 1: news report as if it matters to the story. You
1:07:24
Speaker 1: know why they did that to justify this fact that
1:07:29
Speaker 1: the FBI was contacted and said they are not going
1:07:33
Speaker 1: to pursue federal charges against Barry. Once again, no need
1:07:37
Speaker 1: to play a game. But guess what race it is?
1:07:39
Speaker 1: And his parents really must be somebody, because if you
1:07:42
Speaker 1: grow up two flight attendants punch another one have to
1:07:46
Speaker 1: be restrained on a plane by being duct taped to
1:07:48
Speaker 1: the seat, most of us would probably be banned from
1:07:51
Speaker 1: flying forever or at least suspended from flying for a
1:07:55
Speaker 1: long time. But not when you Max B. No, not
1:07:58
Speaker 1: Max be the wave of God. This Max B is
1:08:01
Speaker 1: the white God, okay, who clearly has the connections and
1:08:05
Speaker 1: complexion for protection. Kathy, would you like to uh, you

Speaker 1: a question? You okay? My best friend then fifth grade?
1:09:13
Speaker 1: She is marrying a guy. I'm in the wedding. Yee.
1:09:16
Speaker 1: I just signed out the guy's gay? Who that I
1:09:19
Speaker 1: ain't gonna lie. That happened to me one time, but okay,
1:09:22
Speaker 1: so go ahead. How do you know he's gay for sure?
1:09:25
Speaker 1: I've seen the video, so there's actual video because with
1:09:29
Speaker 1: me it with me, it was just a person who
1:09:31
Speaker 1: told me that this guy was gay, but I don't
1:09:33
Speaker 1: know if it's true or not. And so I was like,
1:09:35
Speaker 1: let me mind my business, but did you marry me? Yeah?
1:09:40
Speaker 1: Somebody told me the guy was gay, but I don't
1:09:42
Speaker 1: know if he is. So I'm minded my business because
1:09:45
Speaker 1: people just say things sometimes. But you're saying you saw
1:09:47
Speaker 1: an actual video. Yeah. Yeah. One of my friends who's
1:09:51
Speaker 1: a museful friend and his friend brothers a video to
1:09:55
Speaker 1: me and was just like, you know your your best
1:09:58
Speaker 1: friend is marrying a right all right? Well, I'm just like,
1:10:02
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do. I think you should
1:10:04
Speaker 1: talk to the guy first and give him the opportunity
1:10:08
Speaker 1: to talk to her, because I'm sure you know that's
1:10:12
Speaker 1: a difficult one because like they always tell you not
1:10:14
Speaker 1: to out somebody if they're not ready to be out it.
1:10:16
Speaker 1: But marriage is such a serious thing. And you also
1:10:20
Speaker 1: don't know if she knows or not because this could
1:10:23
Speaker 1: this could be an old video. She could have known
1:10:26
Speaker 1: that he has dibbled and dabbled or that he's bisexual
1:10:30
Speaker 1: or whatever, so you don't know what their conversations are
1:10:32
Speaker 1: like so exactly. That's why I wanted to mind my
1:10:35
Speaker 1: business and mirth. But I'm like, oh, I think you
1:10:38
Speaker 1: should talk to him and tell him that, look, this
1:10:41
Speaker 1: video exists. She's going to find out if she doesn't
1:10:44
Speaker 1: already know, and I'm gonna tell her unless you do first. Okay, Okay,
1:10:49
Speaker 1: I'll go, okay, no problem, all right, what if what
1:10:53
Speaker 1: if the woman is full like you said, what if
1:10:54
Speaker 1: she's fully aware of that's already. But then he'll be like,
1:10:56
Speaker 1: she already, He'll tell him she already knows. But the
1:10:59
Speaker 1: thing is that I've see he saw the video, other
1:11:01
Speaker 1: people who have seen it. This is something that's circulating.
1:11:04
Speaker 1: So that's that's the conversation should be, Hey, you know,
1:11:08
Speaker 1: I just want you to know there's a video of
1:11:09
Speaker 1: your man out there like this, as opposed to, Hey,
1:11:12
Speaker 1: your man's gay. Yeah, but I'm telling him he should
1:11:14
Speaker 1: go to her man first and let him have the
1:11:16
Speaker 1: conversation with her and tell him that this is what's known.
1:11:19
Speaker 1: And if you haven't told her or she isn't aware,
1:11:22
Speaker 1: you know, then we have to let her know that
1:11:24
Speaker 1: this is happening. Because about if he just sends the
1:11:26
Speaker 1: video from from no no I think phone, from somebody
1:11:30
Speaker 1: else's phone, just so it just pops up so that
1:11:32
Speaker 1: way he knows that it is and she's not embarrassed
1:11:34
Speaker 1: at now somebody knows that, you know, if they don't
1:11:36
Speaker 1: want nobody to know. I think that he should let
1:11:39
Speaker 1: him give her the opportunity. He should give him the
1:11:40
Speaker 1: opportunity to have the conversation with her first. If she
1:11:43
Speaker 1: doesn't know, Okay, that's the best way to go about it.
1:11:45
Speaker 1: And if he's not gonna come forward and she doesn't know,
1:11:48
Speaker 1: and she's not aware, you know, because there is video.
1:11:51
Speaker 1: It's one thing when it's hearsay. It's a whole other
1:11:53
Speaker 1: thing when there's evidence. Right, Ask ye eight dred five
1:11:57
Speaker 1: eight five one oh five one. If you need a
1:11:59
Speaker 1: relationship advice, call announced the breakfast Club. Go morning. I'm
1:12:03
Speaker 1: gonna get some real advice with angela Ye, ask ye morning.
1:12:09
Speaker 1: Everybody is dj Envy angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy, we
1:12:13
Speaker 1: are the breakfast club. We're in the middle of ask
1:12:15
Speaker 1: ye Hello. Who's this? Hey mama, what's your question for you? Okay?
1:12:21
Speaker 1: So I'm in a brand new relationship with an amazing
1:12:25
Speaker 1: guy and the only issue I have is that his
1:12:29
Speaker 1: face was mad? All right? So what is bad? Like?
1:12:32
Speaker 1: What's bad about it? Isn't that his pianis is small,
1:12:34
Speaker 1: which can't be fixed? Is that that the rhythm is off?
1:12:38
Speaker 1: Is it that he can't make you orgasm? What's what's bad?
1:12:41
Speaker 1: His pen his size is every okay, but he hasn't
1:12:46
Speaker 1: been able to make an orgasm. He's kind of selfish?
1:12:49
Speaker 1: Your mad? Have you told him? No? Well? He can't
1:12:54
Speaker 1: read your mind. Are you pretending to have orgasms? No?
1:12:57
Speaker 1: I don't forsend. Okay, so listen. I've had experiences where
1:13:02
Speaker 1: when I first got with somebody, it wasn't good, but
1:13:04
Speaker 1: it got better as we got to know each other's
1:13:06
Speaker 1: bodies more. Because you know, different things work differently on
1:13:08
Speaker 1: different people. Some guys think that what worked before will
1:13:11
Speaker 1: work with you. Some guys aren't used to being told
1:13:14
Speaker 1: this is what I need you to do in order
1:13:16
Speaker 1: for you to orgasm, and things like that. When you
1:13:18
Speaker 1: can tell a guy what to do, it can turn
1:13:20
Speaker 1: him on also, and it also helps you. And so
1:13:23
Speaker 1: that's when it's time for you to really speak up
1:13:25
Speaker 1: and let him know what it is that he needs
1:13:26
Speaker 1: to do. I think he will receive its full I'm
1:13:30
Speaker 1: afraid to hurt his feeling. I don't think it has
1:13:32
Speaker 1: to hurt his feelings, though, because you can always give
1:13:34
Speaker 1: that advice in a positive way, like while you're doing it,
1:13:38
Speaker 1: you can tell him like real sexy, like I really
1:13:40
Speaker 1: want you to do this, or I love when you
1:13:41
Speaker 1: do that, or keep doing this, or you know what
1:13:43
Speaker 1: will really make me orgasm if you do this, And
1:13:46
Speaker 1: you just gotta be real nasty and dirty about it.
1:13:48
Speaker 1: I like it, and you'll really like it when you orgasm,
1:13:54
Speaker 1: and he'll like it too, because trust me, it's gonna
1:13:56
Speaker 1: make sex better for both of you. Like you said,
1:13:58
Speaker 1: he's a sweet guy. If he's a sweet he want
1:14:00
Speaker 1: to see you get off. That's true. Here he's asking
1:14:03
Speaker 1: what am I doing. I'm like, oh my god, I
1:14:05
Speaker 1: don't want hurt from well and girl, he's asking you.
1:14:09
Speaker 1: So that's when you gotta, you know, tell him that's true.
1:14:13
Speaker 1: You right, right, all right, get it? Thank me, no problem?
1:14:18
Speaker 1: All right, ask ye eight hundred five eight five one
1:14:21
Speaker 1: on five one. If you need relationship advice, you can
1:14:23
Speaker 1: hear e. Now. Now we got rumors on the way. Yes,
1:14:25
Speaker 1: let's talk about ditty. People were questioning him having fifteen
1:14:28
Speaker 1: roaches on his face and he clears it up. All right,
1:14:31
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast clougal More.
1:14:36
Speaker 1: She's filling the team. This is the rumor report with
1:14:39
Speaker 1: Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Okay, so yesterday was
1:14:45
Speaker 1: Black Women's Equal pay Day, August third, and that what
1:14:48
Speaker 1: does that mean? Well, that's the day that they celebrate
1:14:51
Speaker 1: how black women must work into twenty twenty one to
1:14:53
Speaker 1: finally catch up to what white non Hispanic men earned
1:14:56
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty. Over the last year, women have left
1:14:59
Speaker 1: the work for worse and unprecedented numbers because of COVID nineteen.
1:15:02
Speaker 1: So they said, if you are a black or brown woman,
1:15:05
Speaker 1: chances are things were even worse and harder for you.
1:15:07
Speaker 1: They said, black women must work in extra two hundred
1:15:10
Speaker 1: and fourteen days to catch up with what white non
1:15:12
Speaker 1: Hispanic men made in twenty twenty alone. Across industries, black
1:15:16
Speaker 1: women make sixty three cents for every dollar made by
1:15:19
Speaker 1: white men, according to studies. Well, with all that being
1:15:23
Speaker 1: said about yesterday, we also found out yesterday that Angela
1:15:26
Speaker 1: Bassett has led the way with a major bump to
1:15:30
Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty thousand dollars in episode for Fox's
1:15:33
Speaker 1: Flag to Flagship drama nine one one. So what they
1:15:37
Speaker 1: are saying is that they believe that is among the
1:15:40
Speaker 1: top salaries on network television for any actor male or female,
1:15:44
Speaker 1: and it could be the highest ever for an actress
1:15:46
Speaker 1: of color on a broadcast drama series. So congratulations to
1:15:49
Speaker 1: Angela Bassett setting the standard. Queen Angela Bassett deserves it.
1:15:53
Speaker 1: All overcharged them for snubbing you at the Oscars for's
1:15:56
Speaker 1: love got to do with it all those years ago,
1:15:57
Speaker 1: David dropping a close bons angela basketball the male lead
1:16:02
Speaker 1: on the show, Peter Krouse, he gets by the way,
1:16:04
Speaker 1: he got to raise. Also, he gets in the low
1:16:06
Speaker 1: three hundred thousands per episode. Never heard of them. So
1:16:10
Speaker 1: while she's getting four fifty, that's what she's getting. She
1:16:13
Speaker 1: definitely deserves that. And let's also talk about Rihanna. This
1:16:16
Speaker 1: news just broke that she is now officially a billionaire.
1:16:20
Speaker 1: She's worth one point seven billion dollars according to Forbes estimate.
1:16:25
Speaker 1: She's the wealthiest female musician in the world and second
1:16:28
Speaker 1: only to Oprah as the richest female entertainer. And it's
1:16:31
Speaker 1: not necessarily because of her music. Clearly, the bulk of
1:16:35
Speaker 1: her fortune, which is an estimated one point four billion dollars,
1:16:38
Speaker 1: comes from the value of fenty Beauty. They said she
1:16:40
Speaker 1: owns fifty percent of that, and some of that is
1:16:43
Speaker 1: a Savage fenty which is worth two hundred and seventy
1:16:46
Speaker 1: million also, and then of course her music career, Big
1:16:49

Speaker 1: the Internet was questioning how Diddy knew he had fifteen
1:17:11
Speaker 1: roaches on his face, and people were saying, come on, now,
1:17:14
Speaker 1: stop it because he had posted one day when I
1:17:16
Speaker 1: was growing up, I woke up and there was fifteen
1:17:18
Speaker 1: roaches on my face. At that moment, I said, hell no,
1:17:21
Speaker 1: I refused to live like this, work hard, believe in
1:17:23
Speaker 1: your crazy dreams, and never settle. People really zoned in
1:17:26
Speaker 1: on the fifteen roaches on his face? How did you
1:17:28

1:17:31
Speaker 1: actually told Vanity Fair the story. One day I woke
1:17:35
Speaker 1: over like around like fifteen roaches on my face. People
1:17:38
