  Speaker 1: Jane and morning. Shout out to everybody in the sixth Toronto.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Come morning, everybody. How's everybody on his home day? Whoa
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: well today? I definitely need to take my vitamins? But
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: why is that? Well? Yesterday was a long day. After
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: the show, Angie Martinez and I spoke to Tamika Palmer,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: who is Brianna Taylor's mother. Brianna Taylor would have been
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: twenty seven on Friday, but this was all after over
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the weekend, we had a zoom call and Brianna Taylor's
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: mother still hasn't gotten justice for the police killing her.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: This was in Louisville, Kentucky, on March thirteenth. The police
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: officers who they had the no knock warrant, which I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: know a lot of people have been having conversations about
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: no knock warrants right now and they have even temporarily
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: suspended them in Louisville, Kentucky. But they went to her
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: house thinking that somebody was selling drugs out of her home.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Turns out they had the wrong address and the person
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: had already been apprehended four hours earlier. They broke down
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: her door and started shooting and ended up killing They
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: shot her eight times, and they still haven't gotten justice.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: The police officers haven't been fired, there's no charges, nothing.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: So this happened on March thirteenth again, and so right
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: now we want to just make sure everybody knows the
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: story and make sure that police do at least something
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: has to happen for these police officers so that Tamika
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: can feel some sort of justice was served. And she
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: talks about how alone she felt. You know, this all
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: happened when coronavirus was early on in the stages, so
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: people were distracted by that, and she's been getting the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: runaround and there's different stories, and she gets to tell
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: her whole story. So Andy Martinez and I came together
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to do this interview yesterday just because a lot of women.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Things are happening with women, also with Black women, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: their stories aren't being told and there hasn't been justice
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: served in a lot of those, so we want to
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: make sure that we actually amplify their story. Yeah, I
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: can't wait to hear this conversation because there's so many
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: details that you just don't know. It's kind of since
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: coronavirus and the COVID nineteen and Joy Floyd and the protest,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you really didn't necessarily get this full, complete story. You
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: didn't hear the impact of this story. So I'm excited
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: about this conversation. The sad part about stories like Brianna
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Taylor's it's like out of sight, out of mind, right,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: because you have videos for everything else. It's visuals for
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Almud Aubrey, visuals for George Floyd, you know, being that
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: it's not a visual for Brianna Taylor. Are other people
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: that get killed at the hands of the police. You know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: people don't. People seem not to focus attention and energy
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: on them. They forget about it so fast. Yeah. Absolutely,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited about this conversation also, and it was
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a nine one and there was a nine one one call.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: By the way, that is heartbreaking when you hear it,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: because when you hear her boyfriend calling nine one one,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I was like broke down when I listened to that.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: It's hard to listen to. And also Russell Simmons will
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: be checking in this morning. You know, Russell Simmons, the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: founder Jeph Jim and the found us so many different things.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: He'll be checking in to talk about a new book
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: he has coming out shortly. It's called Eat to Live.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: And we're also gonna be talking about everything that's going
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on Russell Simmon life. So there's a lot going on
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: with Russell Simmons. Are we gonna talk about all at
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: today this morning? That was hard for against him, so
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: we'll talk to him as well. So let's get the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: show cracking front page news. What we're talking about, Well,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the chaos during the primaries that happened
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: in Georgia. Yesterday, long lines, a lot of confusions. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen with voting machines and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: provisional ballots and all of that. But we'll give you
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: some updates on what happened yesterday when people went to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: go vote. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a lot just to Breakfast Club. Good morning, good morning.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy we
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Where we starting you, Well, let's start with voting in Georgia.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of voting delays across the state,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and officials are calling for investigations. They're going to be
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: investigating why voters spent four hours at some point standing
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: in line. It was a hot June day and people
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: were supposed to be voting. Some voting was extended to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: nine thirty pm, more than two and a half hours
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: after they were supposed to close, and at least one
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: precinct stayed open until ten ten pm. So imagine that
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: some people were leaving because they just couldn't wait any longer.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: And so right now it looks like voting machines were down,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: they were limited provisional ballots. People were saying, voter suppression
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: is happening right now, particularly in black communities. That's where
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of this went down. They said, we cannot
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: let this happen in November. So, oh God, I've sat
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: on this radio and gotten on cable news networks numerous
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: times and said, with possible Russian interference, voted depression, meeting
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: people not enthused about the candidate and voted suppression, how
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: are you going to beat Donald Trump in November and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: all you had? Democrats says, we have to get the
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: largest voter turnout in American history. Well, guess what people
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: hope is not a strategy? What is the plan to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: beat things like voter suppression? How got stayed? Election of
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: officials are saying there were all kinds of issues like
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: inexperienced election workers, safety issues because a coronavirus, the heightened
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: use of absent see ballots, and they're saying that they
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: were malfunctioning equipment and all kinds of things that were happening.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And Democrats are looking to defeat two Republican senators in
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a twenty twenty in a state where they haven't had
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a democratic senator elected in twenty years going to happen.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: We know that voting is going to happen. We know
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: these you know, election booths will be open. There's nothing
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: in place to prevent possible voter suppression. Nothing. This isn't
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man, good luck it's going to happen
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: in November. I don't know, because hope it's not a strategy.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: All you hit Democrats. We need the largest voter turnout
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: in American history? What are you doing to get that?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: What are you doing to galvanize people in a job
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: people and guard to people to come out? They just
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: fear of Donald Trump is gonna be enough, don't. I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: don't know if that's the case. And yesterday was also
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the day that George Floyd was laid to rest. That's
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: when they had the service that actually was a private service,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: so people were you know, Monday yesterday, they did have
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: people waiting in long lines and in the heat. More
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: than sixty three hundred people waited to pay their respects.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: But yesterday's service lasted close to four hours. It was
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: only inviting guests. Those guests included people like Floyd Mayweather Junior,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: who actually paid for the funeral services, slim thug Paul Wall,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: of course, Attorney Bank Crump was there. Reverend Al Sharpton,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the mayor Sovested Turner was there as well in Houston,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and some of the people who spoke included Brooke Williams,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: who is George Floyd's niece. And I can breathe. As
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: long as I'm breathing, justice will be served. My uncle
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: was a father, brother, uncle, and a cousin to men,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: spiritually grounded, an activist. He always moved people with his words.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: They're officer, show remorse, well watching more uncle's soul leave
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: his body? Why must this system be corrupt and broken?
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Laws were already put in place for the African American
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: system to fail. These laws to be changed. No more
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: hate cross please. Someone said make America great again? But
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: one has America ever been great for black people? In
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: George Floyd and Joe Biden spoke via video. Here's what
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: he said. Why in this nation and too many Black
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Americans wake upt knowing that they can lose their life
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and of course you're just living my life. We cannot
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: leave this moment thinking we can once again turn away
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: from racism. It's things that are very soul. It's about
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: who we are, what we believe, and maybe most importantly,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: who we want to be. So sure that all men
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and women are not only created equal, but are treated equally,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: we can heal this nation's wounds and remember it's pain,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: not callous the heart and forget. I was surprised he
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: didn't actually go. I was really surprised, and the Reverend
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Au Shopton, who was there, spoke as well. All over
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the world, George, they march in with your name. Even
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: in a pandemic. People are walking out in the streets
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: because you've touched the world. And as we lay you
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to rest today, the movement won't rest until we get justice,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: until we have one standard of justice. Your family is
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: gonna miss you, George, but your nation is going to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: always remember your name, because your neck was one that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: represented all of us, and how you suffered represented our suffering.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Other people who were there were families and people who
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: have loved ones that were killed by the police, like
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Eric Garner's mother was there, Baltham Jean's sister, the family
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of Pamela Turner, the father of Michael Brown, trade by
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Martin's here I'll Shopton also recognized Ja by Martin's mother
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and the father of ahmud Arberry. M Yeah, definitely, rest
• 10:06

• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to say this without without bringing out,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: without bringing down a black woman, all right, but I
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: have to get something else. One shots, so somebody has
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to take just not that hilarious, thrown away from her
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: bro like, she is a bold faced liar, and I'm
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: tired of it. You know, Like the same way that
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: we're not tolerting racist anymore is the same way I'm
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: not about to tolerate any type of discriminatory behavior from
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: anyone man. She went on her rant, and in her
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: rant she stated that just because this is because she
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: called somebody a that it shouldn't have spent the entire
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: LGBT community, and they just sounds so stupid to me.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: But this is like if a white person called somebody
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a and he only needs to say that one individual
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: black person iss going to affect everybody in the black community.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: So when you call this sixteen year old black man,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: you know, young man at f man, he didn't call
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: you a chi And that's just what it is, that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: she's a bold faced liar. That young man never called her.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: He said he called her a horse face and said
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: that she looks like a man, and he needs to
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: stop lying. She's a bold face liar and I'm tired
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: of her. Do you definitely don't like just hilarious. I
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: didn't pay I didn't see that what transpired, So you
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: really broke it down. Rank about Oh y'all, y'all don't
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: have a platform like everybody that has the Instagram has
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the platforms. Some people platforms just happened to blow up,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: like just Hilary, if nobody needs you're not a celebrity
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: for real, like stopping. She is also in her forties
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: calling a sixteen year old that's the last thing our
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: twenties crazy. I know how old she is and her
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: forties though I'm saying you can't now you disrespecting her?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Come on now, but that's not no. But still there's
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: a difference. But so this is because I called this
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: this because I told a white woman you look like
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: a horse, and she called me And you ever have
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: a problem with this, So have the same problem with
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the same people who do the same thing to black
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: You don't like you don't like the slurries. I don't
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: like the slur And I know exactly what Billie Pard
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: is talking about. And Charlotte Man, you cant in the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: act like you know he's talking about some about black
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: people are intolerant. No, there are some black people would
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: literally be like, oh, people look at me like this.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I'll kill him because he gave it. That was if
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you listen, t that was. That was a terrible analogy
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: that he used, because white supremacy is the same White
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: supremacy is what kept gay people from getting married. White
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: some supremacy is what kept gay people from having the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: same rights like black people are doing that he's not
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: talking about. Just just just just say that, Just say,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: just say black people have been intolerant over gay people
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: over the years. Don't say white supremacy. Bro, come on down. Well,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: I don't say white supremacy, but I'm talking about the
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: USI intolerance. No, there are some black there are some
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: black people who just hate gay black people because they're gay.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: It's not impowering, but it's but it's still not white supremacy.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: White supremacy is oppressing your rights and marginalizing your right.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: White white supremacy. But Billy Billy Parter did though. That's
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That's why I said it was a
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: bad enough. Well, well, thank you Traving for calling in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and checking into everything. Geez, all right, get it off
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: your chest. Eight undred five eight five one oh five one.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning, The Breakfast club. This is
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: your time to get it off your chest, whether you're
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: man than from you on the breakfast club, like you
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: got something on your mind. Hello, who's this? Yeah? Good morning,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: good morning or something every or something every morning? Brother
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: cha good morning. Now first and foremost, man, I want
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: to say peace to everybody part that's listening. Man, you
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: gotta spread love more and more each and everything. Man.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: But awesome, man, I want to talk about the George
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Fords video real quick man, first one rescu peace to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: the brother. It's the shame that he's not in a longer.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: But if you peak the video, man, look at the paramedics.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: They didn't look like regular paramedics. They didn't even they
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: didn't even do anything that most paramedics are supposed to do. One. Yeah,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I was thinking about that yesterday too, like should they
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: be charged as well. They didn't do they didn't try
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: to resuscitate them, they didn't give them CPR. They look
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: kind of crazy too. I didn't see them do anything
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: on them, right, That's what I'm saying. So about my
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: constant I mean not to be a conspiracy theory, but
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: like it just looks it's just two two choreographs or somebody,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: so like, you know, and then look where everything is
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: that right now? Why I check this one brother for everybody,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: she's just really upgrowd. And it'sn't like a plan that
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: everybody just follows step and shout right into place. I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: think that it was a lot of different factors. We've
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: been home for three months because of the coronavirus pandemic,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and you know, people have been sitting in the house.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: People don't have jobs right now, say you really don't
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: have anything to do, but out there in protest, which
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: is a great thing. You gotta think if everybody had
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: was at work, had jobs to go to, we can
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: probably forgot about George Floyd already. Sadly, I guess I
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: got a great dis great shot. But I don't know, man,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I just I just feel like this becomes such more
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: more political now than than ever, you know what I mean,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: And it goes it is an election at least brutality,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, indeed, but it goes for police brutality to
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: a kid as always black against white, black against white.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: But there are a lot of policles that are being
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: initiated because of what's been happening and because of bringing
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: attention to George Floyd. Well, thank you for calling brother
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Foy is dead because it's systemic racism. So it's not
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: black against white, it's US versus white supremacy. It's US
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: versus systemic racism. Get it off your chest. Eight hundred
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: five A five one oh five one. If you need
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: to vent, you can hit us up. Now, we got
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: rumors on the way. Ye. Yes, we are going to
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: be talking about a TV show that has gotten canceled.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: And this show has been on the air since nineteen
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: eighty nine. All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: locked this to Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Everybody is ej Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: all the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: talk about a show that might never come back. It's
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: about some rumor report angel Ye the Breakfast Club. Well,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Cops and some other law enforced theme shows have been canceled.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: The Paramount Network has officially pulled the plug on Cops. Now.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Cops started airing on Fox. They aired on Fox for
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: twenty five seasons, and then Spike TV started airing it
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen, and then after that the Paramount Network
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: acquired the show from Spike TV. Now they are saying
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Cops is not on the Paramount Network and we don't
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: have any current or future plans for its return. The
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: thirty third season of the show was supposed to start
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: on Monday, but no episode has aired since June first.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: That's when obviously there's been a lot of protests against
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: police brutality, a lot of people supporting the Black Lives
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Matter movement and all of that. So it originally premiered
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: back in nineteen eighty nine, and right now they've been
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: under fire for its depiction of law enforcement and for
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: the questionable practices behind the scenes. I mean that means,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: that means something to people who folks like that as
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: like Cops. I don't care about Cops TV show being canceled.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I care about Cops being fired and bought the Justice
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: in a quarter law. I care about the Justice of
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Policing Act. You know that that bands the type of
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: chokeholds that killed George Floyd. I care about that because
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: that band's no knock warrants that in cases like the
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: one that killed Brianna Taylor, like New York passing the
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: aragona anti chokehold act. I care about stuff like that.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I care about govern A CuMo pushing the pastor Amy
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Cooper bill making it a hate crime to call nine one,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: nine one one with a false accusation of racism, Like
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I don't care. If the Cops TV show got canceled,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that means, well, you know, another show, Live PD, which
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: shows on A and E, also was pulled from the air.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Now what's interesting about that. I don't know if you
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: guys had been hearing about Javier Ambler. He was a
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: forty year old father if two. He was a postal worker,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and he died last year in March twenty eight, twenty nineteen,
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: while being arrested in Austin, And they were actually filming
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: the Live PD during that episode. I was going to
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, with those shows, it doesn't make
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: it good that they have people recording to see what
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: those police officers are actually doing, Like you know who's
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: taping him? It is nobody taping him, Like, but they're
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: supposed to be the body cameras and footage on the cars.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: But the problem is this, they're saying that a lot
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: of times on those shows they overreact to situations like
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: in the case of Javier Ambler, they said he was
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: pulled over because he didn't dim his suv headlights to
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: oncoming traffic. He got he ended up getting tasered four times,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and they said he was saying he has congestion, heart failure,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: he couldn't breathe, he was crying out, save me, and
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: then they chased him again. Yeah, and this, mind you,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: this happened last year in March and so, and this
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: was all during a taping for a live PD that
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: this happened, and there were a lot of complaints from
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: local people about how the cops were treating them because
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: they were filming the show and they felt like some
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: of the deputies were filming the show and doing a
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff for that, And then the way that
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: they edited and the way that they edited, because they
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: have full control over how they edited, so the cops
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: can choose how that video is edited. And so that's
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: another issue of how people left part treating how the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: cops are portrayed on these shows. Gotcha. It's just it's
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: just amazing that those production companies ever thought that was entertainment.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: That's why I don't look at them now and salute
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: them all. Applaud them. For twenty five years, you thought
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: cops and their relationship with the community was entertainment. Now
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you got a heart. Get that
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: out of here now. Interestingly enough, that footage that they're
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: looking for, right A and E has not handed over
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: that footage, and they said that footage has been destroyed.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: So they said, as they can't stop, but it's taken
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: by live PD producers, we no longer retain the unaired footage.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: After learning that the investigation had concluded, Oh crap, Charlemagne.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Now you you you know you you have a production
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: company and you film a lot. Have you ever seen
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: anybody say, no, we destroyed the footage. I know some
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: of these they had footage for years. Yeah, but I
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: don't know who has I don't know who has the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: actual rights to the footage. I don't know if the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a camera crew out there
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: with the actual police officer. There's a camera crew out
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: there with the police officers. There's an actual camera crews
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: out there with the police officers. Oh so they got
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: the footage, then absolutely definete they get rid of a
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: lot of a lot of PD makes too much money,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and as I said, too high. I don't know. I
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: don't know how cops was doing. That's what I'm saying.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: You said, who was entertaining? Like people watch it the ratings,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: who are high as hell? Well, the host of the
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: show tweeted out to all of you asking whether LIVEPD
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: coming back. The answer is yes. All of us associated
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: with the show are as committed to it as ever.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: We are still discussing some specifics, but I want to
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: assure the LIVEPD nation that we are not abandoning you. Yeah.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I wonder why those networks don't push to to fund
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the police, like those networks push to you know, get
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the cops that killed Brianna Taylor arrested, like do specials
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: about stuff like that. You know what I'm saying, because
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: they have those big platforms. So when you got those
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: big platforms using you know. All right, Well, I'm Angela
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, Now,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: we got FROMT Page News. Next what we're talking about. Yes,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: and let's talk about what's been happening. Voting yesterday people
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: had to vote and in Georgia there were a lot
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: of issues. All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: lock this to Breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news where
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: were starting you Well, officials in Georgia have launch and
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: investigation into what happened yesterday during election day. Now you
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: know what they did in Georgia was they actually have
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: to phase out paperless voting machines by this year. So
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: many voting issues were because of these new machines that
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: were provided as part of a contract, a multimillion dollar
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: contract with Dominion Voting Systems. But they're saying in some
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: counties people were not able to vote. As a matter
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: of fact. Mayor Kesha Lance Bottoms tweeted at one point
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: that none of the machines in one precinct were working,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: so some people were waiting online for up to four hours. Now.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris also tweeted out voting machines down, limited provisional ballots,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: hours long lines, voter suppression is happening right now. Of
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: course Georgia, particularly in black communities, we can't let this
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: happen in November. Yeah, but why do we keep falling
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: for the same tricks every year. Keep telling y'all, how
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: do you expect to beat Donald Trump in November when
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: all the same problems, all the same issues in trickery
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: that got him got him in the election in twenty sixteen.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Are still had played this ship possible Russian to the parents,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: voted depression because people aren't enthused about Biden like they
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: weren't about Hillary, and voted suppression, which we saw in
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Georgia again yesterday. It seems weird, it's twenty twenty. Bro
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the fact that these machines, they can't get them working
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: at this problems like it's twenty twenty, Like this sea
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: isn't crazy. Yeah, these are new machines. And the other issue,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: they said, we're health concerns because of coronavirus and you know,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: some places because schools are closed, so they had to
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: consolidate some of the locations where you can go vote.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: They said, the state has mailed Act sin see ballot
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: requests also to registered voters, but I'm not sure how
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: that's going to play into things. So polling stations New
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Jersey talk to Democrats and asked him, are you planning
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: to go in or do you want to mail it in?
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna go in. Now, I'm gonna go into.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: It's kind of based on where I live at. It's
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: kind of simple for me to vote because it's just
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: like this little church right up the street. Yeah, for
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: me too, it's very simple for me. But yeah, I'm
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: gonna go in. And I don't you know, I don't
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: want to mail it in and something to get, you know,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: stuck in the mail. And there's always been stories of
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: you would hear people stealing the mail. I'm gonna take
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: my assent up. I don't trust the mail in ballot.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: And then it's it's sad when you talk to Democrats
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: and ask them how they're gonna win in November and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: they always say, we have, well, we hope to have
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the largest voter turnout in American history. Well, guess what,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: people hope. It's not a strategy, all right, but it's
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: hope the best you can come up with. Jesus. Okay,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: do you guys remember doctor Anthony Fauci I heard of
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: who who was that? Who was that? Well he's the
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: infectious disease expert who had previously had daily briefings about coronavirus,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: but now he is warning that coronavirus is still not
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: over and that the nightmare pandemic isn't even close to over.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: He said, in a period of four months, it has
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: devastated whole world and it isn't over yet. He said
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: there's still a world of uncertainty around the virus, how
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: it spreads, how it impacts the body. He said coronavirus
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: is much more complex in HIV, which is a virus
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: he spent his career studying because of the different levels
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: of seriousness and infections from asymptomatic carriers to patients who
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: end up having fatal conditions. And he said vaccines will
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: be the only way to stop the spread of the coronavirus,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and he did express confidence that there is an antidote
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: in the works. So that is what he still had
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to say about coronavirus. Now who the World Health Organization
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: also had said that it was very rare for asymptomatic
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: coronavirus transmissions to occur. Right now, they're walking back those comments,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: and here's what they said. I was referring to some
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: detailed investigations, cluster investigations where we had reports from member
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: states saying that when we follow asymptomatic cases it's very
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: rare that we found a secondary transmission. What I didn't
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: report yesterday was because this is a major on some groups.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Some modeling groups have tried to estimate what is the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: proportion of asymptomatic people that may transmit UM but some
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: estimates of around forty of transmission may be due to asymptomatic.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: I'm sick of who I need to talk to, where
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: and why I don't want to hear from? Who know more? Exactly?
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Why did things change all
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the time with them said he needs I don't. I
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: don't know what she said. Just now, can I go outside?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: It isn't doctor fault. You DJ, who's trying to get
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: a pat crowd to go home? Like he's he already,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Like you know even you interview a DJ. He's trying
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: to get us a PAT crowd and they're trying to
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: get the people out, and nobody leaving, nobody leaving. Guys,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: you gotta go. People still dancing, police outside, guys, guys
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: playing start playing gospel music, they start dancing slow music.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: They start dancing. Lights be saved by my last song.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: I promise guys, you gotta leave. YEP, that's about you.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: That's found you right now, you're that is your front
• 27:05

  Speaker 1: We got a special guest on the line that uncle
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Rush Russell Simmons. Welcome. How you doing Brow, How are
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: you well? First of all, where are you Russ? Because
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: you never like right now? I'm in my home in Bali.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I got stuck here, you know. They called the borders
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: and I got stuck, which is fine by me. So
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I'm still here. I haven't been back since the middle
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: of January. Why Bally what's so? What's so good about Bally?
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: What do you like about Bally Man? It's Yoga, Vegan Disneyland.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: And also I have work here in Asia. I have
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: a talent agency and some thirteen countries and Bali is
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: kind of in the middle of all the countries. So
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: it's really a great location. And it's it's like people
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: come here for self study and self realization, and this
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: is a place of pilgrimage for a lot of people
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: to come. And I think life's only goal is to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: know the self, what kind of self? Well, it's an
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: ongoing process. I mean everything we do is to find
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the self. So whether it's through meditation or yoga or
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: just do good deeds or any of it. You know,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: you move a little quicker. We're all going towards God,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: like it or not, and we all are discovering the self.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: But the rate of which we discovered itself depends on
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: our effort. So in more presence, more happiness or Russie.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: You know, you lost your You lost your best friend recently,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Andre Horrel, good friend of mine. Yeah, how did that
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: impact you? It impacted me greatly. You know. I was
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: in the middle of writing a book called Eat to Live,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: a post pandemic lifestyle. If I can contribute something to
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: our community, it's to support this ongoing movement towards a
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: more healthy diet and healthy choices. I've been a vegan
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: for over twenty years and the proceeds as all of
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: my books and proceeds will go back into the community
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: and dedicated to Andre, who was my closest friend. And
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: the last conversation I had with him was about his diet,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: and I plugged him into a doctor, and eighteen hours
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: later O'Neill found him. I sent O'Neill to his house.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: So this broke my heart and made me even more
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: passionate about what he spread this message to our community. First,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: you said, as you sent O'Neill to Andrea's house, what
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: what what made you do that? You know, I speak
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: to Andrea, like I said, multiple times a day, and myself,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Tracy Maitland, and another friend of his hadn't spoken to him.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: So I called his son and asked that he spoken
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: to him, and all of us were concerned. So he
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: called his cousin O'Neill and sent O'Neil to his crib,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: and O'Neill and Cassie went over there. Aneil went and
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: found his cousin and my brother had passed. You know,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: I spoke to Andre too. I guess they said he
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: passed on a Thursday. I spoke to him that too,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: and he was actually I mean, he was speaking to
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: me about a lot of things, but he was speaking
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: to me about a conversation that you him and Maxine
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Waters had. That's good as you brought that up, because
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: I've been working for over thirty years on police brutality
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: ever since after police came out and Cop Killer, I
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: was the one that had to make sense of those songs.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: I had to go to Congress, and I worked with
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: New Orleans and Detroit, Baltimore and Philly and very different places.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: With the Nation of Islam. I would go to the
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: police sensitivity trainings, and those trains were good, and the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: dialogue between police and community was good, but they never
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: really represented systematic change. And for all this time, the
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: one thing that was always troublesome and our police policing
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: system is that the prosecutors have never had the right
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: to prosecute police. And so when they talk about police reform,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: and I'm excited that they have now a bill that
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: they just introduced, that's exciting, But when I watch the news,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: we don't talk as much about that prosecution point, because
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: police accountability is the core of this discussion. Are you
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: high involved you steal an NYC politic? Not so much.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: I mean you know, I'm very concerned and excited at
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: the same time about how this bill Golden See, young
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: people brought us to a point we wouldn't even believe
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: we got here. They got out in the street. They're
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: dedicated to change. And what we need now is to
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: make sure the steering committees, you mean, whoever they are,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: people like you, you know, leaders of young people, get
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: them on a page to push for the change that
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: they really need, and not to make a choice for them,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: but to present them with the options. So if young
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: people continue to push and they know what they're pushing for,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: like that bill that the black Hawk is introduced yesterday,
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: then we will see some real systematic change. And it's
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the beginning of something new and Justice Policing Act of
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty Rush. So I want you to do a
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: grounding before we get into this next line of questioning.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Do a grounding. Okay, now, you have you watched on
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: the record on Age. I have not watched it, but
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: I'm aware of you know, when I first heard about
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: this documentary, I was thrilled to know that Oprah was
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: involved real because I thought, and I told many people,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: it was impossible for her to go forward full of
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: me back up, because it's something I had to say.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: It's much more important. I'm guilty of having underwritten, supported,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: made the soundtrack for Taken advantage of, and lived in
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: a grossly unjust society. So I know what I'm guilty of,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: and I've been unconscious as a playboy. And today the
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: title is appropriate womanizing. And you know, back then, I
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: thought it was a game. I dated. If you remember
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: the eighties, it must remember Robin Givens and I had
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: a crush on. I had a great relationship with ray
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Don Chong. I fell in love with Troy Bayer. I
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: dated Sherry Headley from Coming to America. I went out
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: with Stacy Dash. There were no black actresses that I
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: didn't date that they were my friends today. Also the
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Dutch and German and French and Golden and Tanzania and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: South African supermodels. I went out every night and I
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: looked for new girls to date, and almost all of
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: them are my friends today and they don't have the
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: experience of me being a monster that the movie makes
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: me to be. So I was thrilled that Oprah took
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: on this movie, and I said, it's absolutely no way
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: she's gonna go forward when I presented with thirty witnesses
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: or so who came forward after they saw their friends
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: and children and parishioners on television, and so I felt
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: very confident. She walked away. She walked away, and she
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: did say that the stories had inconsistencies, not one, but
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: all stories. All three girls who were to lead the
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: stories should not have been printed based on the information
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: are given and the BC New York magazine, CNN and
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: many people have passed on those stories. And finally Oprah
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: and Apple. So I'm sorry that the movie is out,
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: but at the same time, I'm glad they had their
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: moment to say what they wanted to say. I could
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: never say that someone doesn't feel victimized. I can tell
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: you that I don't feel that I victimize them. And
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: how can I say that I took nine separate, three
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: hour lie to tech attests. They're available to you, and
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that. And I don't know
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: what else to say except I feel terrible about the
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: women who may have felt victimized. I am certainly not
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: a monster or victimize er. What do you say to
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: your daughters, because you know I've seen your daughters defend you.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: You have two lovely daughters. What do you What do
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: you tell your daughters at a time like this. We've
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: lived in a very toxic masculine society. But I tell
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: them also as a person who studies this eminent rise
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: of a divine feminine which is happening in us and
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: around us, as men's right inclusivity that we need for
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: women going forward is critical to the survival of the planet.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: That women have to take their rightful place in leadership.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: And there's roles that are more meaningful to the weekend survived?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: All right? We got more with Russell Simmons. When we
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning morning.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: are the breakfast club was still kicking him at Russell Simmons. Ye.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: How many women have come for it at this point
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: and accused you of sexual less thoughts six or seven?
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I noticed that when less one days or someone like
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: that was accused, they didn't say that a girl who
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: spoke poorly two was a number because he had thirty
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: of them. They didn't say that in a yoga class
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: that you are adjusting somebody looked like you might have
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: been wrong, but it wasn't a girl. It was another
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: girl watching. And they made that a number. When my
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: story came and there were twenty five white man that
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: was the only man of color. They spent a lot
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: of money digging into my past, But did they do
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: that pretty famous Rocks stars. I hung out with Mick
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Jagger and Steven Tyler and many many lock stars. The
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: misunderstandings that I refer to and the insensitivity that I
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: might have exuded at that time was kind of typical
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: of the time. I'm a unlikely ally. I've always been
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: a support of women's movement, and I believe that what's
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: happened in Me Too is fantastic and will continue to
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: open more doors for women and change the relationship between
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: men and women too. We have a balance, you know,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: rust when you talk about misunderstandings, because you know you're
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: a totally different, different person back then. When you're a
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: powerful man and you have women working for you in
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: your industry, you know if you do, you know, push
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: up on them, which some type of sexual advent. Sometimes
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: women feel like they can't say no. Do you ever
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: think you put a woman in that situation. Back then,
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't date the women in the office. I only
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: have one person who ever asked for her expenses, and
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: then one year later sued me. I have no sexual
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: misconduct of any kind in Depth Jam's whole history, except
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: the one who's the lead in this movie. But back
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: then it was pretty normal to have relationships in the office.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: But I was never interested because again it was those
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: actresses I named and all the supermodels, and I was
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: much more interested in what was outside my office. I
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: had a president who was a woman. I had a
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: president of promotion who was a woman. I had a
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: president of A and R who was a woman. And
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: I had a president of marketing at one time. There's
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: a picture that I have that I prided in nineteen
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: ninety two. It was the Women of Death Chair, and
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: so we had all women running Depth Jam, you know,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: and they were my partners and friends, and we went
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: to work every day together and we enjoyed a lot
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: of success during that time. What I really wanted healing.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want anyone who feels violated to know how
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: deeply sorry, especially but I said about jama Met, I
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: told Oprah, you will find it. The three leads in
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: your movie. Are absolutely not credible, and there's no way
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: you're going to make this movie. But I told her then,
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: there's a story that broke my heart with Jane Lametz
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: story and when I read it and made me cry.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: A week later she told me Jenny was in the movie.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen the movie, but I understand that story
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: breaks my heart, and it's a story of I got
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: in the car and I was afraid, and I listened
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: to it, and I realized that I was perhaps insensitive,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: but what I wasn't at the time was a mind reader.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: You know, Russ back in the day, you was on cocaine.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: He was drunk all the all on cocaine. Who the
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: eighties early nineties. Is there any way you could have
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: misconstrued these sexual experiences, or even they could have misconstrued
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: the sexual experiences. Yeah, you know, I'm not safe. Listened. Absolutely,
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: there's a way that some of these experiences accepted. I
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: was sober by nineties, so I'm gonna say that. So yes,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: of course I took a lot of drugs. We were
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: all hot. Also, you could have been paranoid when you
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: got in the car. In the car do a lot,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: you know, and you did exactly what he said because
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: you didn't want for fear he might turn violent. You know,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: when they read that story, it breaks my heart. But like, yes,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I could have been high and insensitive and unconsciously talous,
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: but I never ever felt that I hurt anyone. And
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: I even then with all the drugs, I didn't have
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: a violent vote in my body. The misconstrued relationships, I believe,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: is probably something that not only should be exploring my case,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: but we should understand that going forward, this new there's
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: a new sensitivity that men should gain. And you know,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm thirty years ago it was different. Do you
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: feel like it's tarnished your legacy at all? You know,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: I'm less concerned my legacy to day than I am
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: concerned with what I can do going forward to health
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: the community. I feel like, what's happening now my voice
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: has been muted to some degree, and this is exactly
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: the kind of place where my voice is useful, at
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: least in my own ego. I believe I should be useful. Yeah,
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: whether it's the health in the community that I talk
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: about and the diet I want to continue to promote.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: I believe in the equality of women and black people.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: And I've always fought for those two things. And I
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: was there fighting for equal pay for women twenty five
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: years ago, and I've spoke at the Women's March, and
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: I believe in the next steps that can take it
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: to be inclusive. You know one thing about the divine
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: masculine and the divine feminine, the divine masculine when not
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: even the divine masculine, the masculine is never aware of
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: our toxic behavior. The divine masculine is a way of
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: the toxic masculinity, but when we're in that toxic state,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: we're not aware. So can you understand why the women
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: who spoke out against you probably felt like they needed to? Well,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I can understand why some of them did. I do
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: absolutely understand that all the relationships I've had, that some
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: gone wrong, and that some women feel victimized, and I
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: certainly believe them in them cases. What would you say
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: to these women if they were funny? Now? What would
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: you say to them? If anything? I would say, I
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: love you, And I know that in some cases hurt people,
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: hurt people. I don't want to re victimize or I
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: don't think we should. I really don't believe we should
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: be relitigating thirty year old stories that have never been told.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Celebrities have big voices. Something happens to a celebrity, everyone
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: relates to it, and so as part of further a
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: great agenda, there may be some collateral damage. I wouldn't
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: say this to those women. What I would say those
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: women in cases where like a Jane Met, I'm so sorry.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: I never knew you felt this way. I spoke to
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: you twenty times after I had dinner with Drew Dixon,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: a week after she settled her her suit and asked
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: for her expenses. I didn't know you felt this way.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: So some of these people who I saw over the years,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: so many many times, who never expressed this to me,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: it breaks my heart to hear their stories. What about
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: what about people who say you left for BALI to
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: avoid criminal charges. There's no I don't have any civil
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: or criminal charges. I'm back and forth to La. I
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: was in La in December. In November and in New
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: York and December I went to took my kids away.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: I came back. I spent the first two weeks in January.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: M here now stuck in the borders are opening the
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: next few days and I'm back in forth fifteen times.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: So that's just not true. You know, that's interesting because
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: I see a lot of people going in on the
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: women and saying that they're liars, they're doing this for money.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: So there is no civil case or a criminal case pending.
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: There was there's a civil case that thirty one years ago.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about her history or what
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: she said. A woman who I've never met once. Ten
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: million dollars it'll be I mean, I'm sure. So that's
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: a civil case, but that's it, and that'll the judge
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: will throw that out two years that to a limitation,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: So it no, I don't I didn't escape anything. I
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: came to Bali because my school, Tantis, was having a
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: teacher training and I was I had I was gonna
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: go either to India to an ashram or to Bali
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: to get out of the media. And I came back
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: home and I went back and back home back, and
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: fourth or fifth time I got here, I started to
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: build a house. As a woman. I know, it's really
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: difficult for women to speak up when they feel like
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: something's happened, especially when it involves a celebrity, just because
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: of the level of people who are going to say, oh,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: she's lying. She wants attention, and even just the threat
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: of not even being able to work in this industry anymore.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: So what do you think is the motivation for these
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: women to come forward and make these accuses. I don't
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: think it's for me to say the motivation. There's a
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: lot of psychological profiles and their studies, and a lot
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: of people want relevance. And I'm not suggesting that people
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: want to be famous or want money. But you can
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: make that some shit if you like that. Some people
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: may want to be famous and even infamous as m
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to. You know, you can what
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: I'd like for you to do, maybe, if you're interested,
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: it's read some of the stories written by the black
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: investigative journalists that and then call the witnesses yourselves, called
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: their parents. All right, well, don't move. We got more
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: with Russell Simmons when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: Good morning, d j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the gay
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: we are the Breakfast Club. Were still kicking him at
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Russell Simmons, Charlemagne, did Oprah Gail reach out to you?
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Reach out to you? I don't want to say too
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: much about Oprah, but I will say that the minute
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: I knew that she was involved in the documentary, I
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: felt that she was my savior. She gonna walk away
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: and tell the world why, because she was interested in
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: the truth. She called of the thirty witnesses, none of
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: whom appear in the movie, thirty witnesses that I gave
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: to the producers. They want to interview me, but they
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: didn't want to interview the thirty witnesses. You know, it's interesting.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: It is a Yogi thing because I haven't heard you
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: call these women a liar. I don't want to promote
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: anything negative, and I don't want to get in the
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: mud with the accusers. The only reason I told, the
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: only reason I gave them thirty witnesses to get the
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: three leads in the movie, it's because I have daughters.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: The only reason I took nine line of textive Texas.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: I took those tests and didn't give them anybody. I
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: did those for my daughters. So whatever I did unintentionally,
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: I believe the women that I believed me. In some cases,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: I believe Jane Lament, That's who I believe. She said
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: she thought I might turn violent. She said she was
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: fearful and did what I said. I didn't know, and
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I never heard from her that this is how she felt.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: And when I read the story, it brought me to tears.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: So so I'm getting the feeling that you know you
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: were a person because you weren't a rapist. Oh the
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: horrible person, I mean, not horrible, and we didn't know
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: any better. I'll just tell you, I was just watching Boomerang,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: and this is honest. I just watched over. You know,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I went out. I had more fossoms than most guys
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: had one girl. If I had a nickel f every
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: girl who didn't get what they deserved out of our relationships,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: I'll be Richard and Puffy or something. But so I
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: disappointed a lot of people, and I heard some people, well,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not a rapist and I'm not violent. I've never
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: been violent. I've never heard this characterization of me as
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: this monster. So hearing it at sixty it broke it
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: broke my heart. It's one of the most traumatizing experiences,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: maybe the most traumatizing experience of my life. And I
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: deeply regret for those women who feel victimized. And I
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: don't know how else I can do, but just maybe
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: try to make it right. I'll be part of the
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: shift in consciousness that will that will be more inclusive.
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: But we do want to ask about that when it
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: comes to hip hop, because you know hip hop. You know,
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: how does hip hop come to a reckoning about the
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: way we did used to treat women because it was toxic,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: you know, the music in the culture, it was rape culture.
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: It was not just did, but it was worse. It
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: was way worse though, but it's still pretty bad and bad,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: but really way way worth. Back then, we talked to
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: women violently pouring drinks on them, like like it's a
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: lie to act like hip hop wasn't that way, So
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: how do we deal with no, no, no, we were listen.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: But but thousands of years I you know, I don't
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: want us to make this about what black people did.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: When I hung out with the rock stars and I
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: saw him, Yeah, and they got stories on stories on story,
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: nobody investigating that. I'm not I'm not asking anybody to
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: relitigate their lives either. But these women who wrote these stories,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: who grew up you know, perhaps even almost my age,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: they didn't rock stars were not so good. White man
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: that's why it was all white men and me. They
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: called everybody else. And Williams told me I did her
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: radio show yesterday. She told me that she got four
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: or five calls and people would say things like, if
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: you just tell your story to help your sisters. I
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: produced Just Called My Name in nineteen eighty four, the record,
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: and I produced I Need Your Love and other stuff
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: with Alice, and over the years, and she's told me
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: how many times she got called. Everybody I know's gotten called.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: So I told a woman because I wrote my life
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: story too, I didn't put it out, and there's a
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: chapter called the Awakening right and what I've learned in
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: this experience. And I was telling a publisher about my
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: history and how I felt somewhat like a victim, and
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: then I thought, you know, I don't like saying that
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: because they have mixed feelings about it. She said, women
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: have been sitting on it for thousands of years. Just
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: sit on it. And I do want to say, though,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: I can never judge how somebody would treat somebody else
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: just because of how they treated me, because I know
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: there's people who have done things to other people. Just
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: because they treated me well doesn't mean that they didn't
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: do something else. So I don't like to categorize, well,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: this didn't I didn't do this to this person, So
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: how could I have done that? You know? And I
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: certainly I'm not saying that. I'm telling you that what
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I mentioned all the famous or all the women I've
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: did over the years, and I mentioned what they think
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: about me. They don't think I'm tapeful of being a monster.
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: And I just say that because it is. It does
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: matter that you've had so many compromisations, and character witness
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: matter a little bit. But the thirty witnesses I gave
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: were not character witness. They were there at every state
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: and they heard different stories over these thirty or forty years,
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: so they've heard it differently. Yeah, I've got three more
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: questions because there's been women with famous voices who said
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: things like Russell has said inappropriate things to me, like
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: a man to Sale said, Russell said inappropriate things to me.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: I've heard, you know, other women say that you said
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: inappropriate things to them. Look, I'm a deaf comed ye man,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: I got a dirty mouth, and I've been inappropriate my
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: whole life. I've been inappropriate and times unconsciously callous, never
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: intentionally callous. Ever. I've never been violent. I've never been
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: a rapist, So I've been a lot of things, but
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: I certainly never ever intended to hurt anyone. And I
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: don't believe that the net effect of might might work
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: with the judge as hurtful. But there are people who
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: could have misconstrued and then they could then think that.
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: But whether a camera in the room, no one would
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: say that I was intentionally hurtful. Okay, And I want
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: you to answer these two more questions, because I don't
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: know if if I got to answer them. America, how
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: do we deal with the sheb behavior that we used
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: to display as men? Because I feel like the same
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: way white people gotta attone for racism men, we got
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: to atone for all, boll how do we do that?
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: I think that we should be aware as we are
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: more now. I don't not only because we're threatened men
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: in the Hollywood afraid to come out of the office.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: They don't know what's going to happen and what they did,
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: what they might get accused of. That's one thing, and
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: that's that's good because it's a wake up call. But
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: the bridge building and the shift in consciousness, and how
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: do we hire women, how do we empower women? What
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: roles can be fine for them that they really suit
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: and would make us in our companies better. And I
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: want to support the growth of women in industry, and
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: I want to support the growth of women in gentlemen
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: and include women, include women in the conversation. When you
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: want to say what can we do for women? Let
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: them also let you know what it can be done
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: for us to feel more empowered and for us to
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: be able to express ourselves in the environment and have equality.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: And you can do that financially too, with equal pay
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: for women for the same jobs. And then do you
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: feel like a lot of people are pointing fingers and
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: not necessarily because you know, you talk about all the
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: things that you've done in your in your career, you know,
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: go to Congress, you hire all these women. Do you
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: feel like people are losing sight of all the things
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: that you did do because of what's you know? Listen,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: I told myself when I couldn't make sense of this,
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: and in my meditation I realized it was a commic
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: effect for having been when she died, for having been
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: a womanizer. So I don't really face heavy oh, I
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: lost all my five charities. I lost so many executives.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: Someone still on the payroll. But I had to lose
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: all my companies and all my charities. I lost my
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: company it was all based on advertising, and lost thirty
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: million bucks. I don't have a lot of money. I
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: don't need money. I'm a boguing there and God's got
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: me and I will rebuild. It's my final question. Man
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: Ecard totally. Echard totally said life will give you whatever
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: How do you this is the experience you need because
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: this is the experience you are having at the moment.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: With that said, how is your consciousness elevated because of
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: everything you've been going through? Everything? I feel like God
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: has given me a chance to speed up my evolution.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm with God wants me, and I
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: feel like I can be useful. And I read that book.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: It was the first time I've truly understood yoga, this
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: idea of awareness and presence. After reading all the yoga
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: suitors and scriptures, I read that book The Power of Now,
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: and he really helped me quite a bit to intellectualize
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: at least so to understand what we all do everything for.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: So I'm deeply appreciative of that book. I don't know
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: if you know I gave over that book. No one
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: had ever heard of it. I read that book. It
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: had changed my life. Thank you, man. We appreciate you
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: so much. Always a pleasure talking to you on and
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: offir Man God, lets you thank you so much for
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: having me on. And thank you Angela right, thank you Simmons.
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: Is the rule of report with Angela Yee on the
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Yes, So, James Dolan, as you know, this
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: has been an ongoing thing as people feel like he
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: should have made a statement, and allegedly some of the
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: New York Knicks players and people that work at the
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: franchise are very upset that there's been no statement. Well, originally,
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: James Dolan sent out an email to employees explaining that
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: we are not any more qualified than anyone else to
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: offer our opinion on social matters, and that email was
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: elaked publicly, and then he had to put out a
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: second email where he condemned racism and stronger terms. But
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: again this was not even anything that was released publicly. Well,
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: now the Instagram account does have a statement and that
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: statement is every one of us has a role to
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: play in creating a just and equal society where there
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: is no racism, bigotry, violence or hate. We starred for
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: all who acts for positive change. Somebody tell the Knicks
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: just posted black box show, just post the black box. Yeah,
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: and so that was that. So Jesus wrote, defund the Knicks,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: but bomb for Jesus's disappointing. Well, according to Jalen and Jacobe,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: they've been making more. The value of the Knicks have
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: gone up every single year. So yeah, people still go
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: to the games. I don't know why, but yeah, now
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: he needs still go to the games. Yeah, I'm talking
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: about the funded. As far as plays ross the trash, yeah,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: nobody wants to play for the Knicks us. All right, now,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: the crust Fits CEO has resigned. We told you about
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: all the backlash that CEO, Greg Glassman actually had received,
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: and he's also the founder. Well, he has officially stepped
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: down as head of the company. And that's for a
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: couple of different things. You know, there were some comments
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: that he made in a company's zoom call. He said,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: we're not mourning for George Floyd. And in addition to
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: that he he had a very rude joke that he
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: made on social media where you know he was just
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: mocking the death of George Floyd. Well, now he has
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: stepped down and he'll be replaced by Dave cash or.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: A lot of people have disassociated themselves from the company.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Reboxe were ties with CrossFit right after Glassman posted that
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: tweet that was very offensive to people. And in addition,
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: they said he also sent out derogatory and offensive emails
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: to Jim owner Alyssa Roy's. So he's gone all right.
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: Damian Lillard has also put out a powerful spoken word.
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: It's called Blacklist, and this is honoring George Floyd and
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: other police brutality victims. Here's a portion of that. I
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: feel at tension rising nineteen fifty, how we divided, and
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: I ain't even tripping on how the season decided. Racism
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: pandemic is years ahead of the virus. Really mean it,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: but they're gonna try to play us as tyrants. Look,
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Ali wasn't the greatest just because his hands worked front
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: line for us people. This was a fans work. Before
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: he let the black people down, He let the fans hurt.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: So if the stars is a line that me and
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: he can work. Don't need to prove who are always
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: been doing guy's work, even before I was in a
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: Bentley like Farnsworth. Make me sick to my stomach to
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: see these moms hurt. Tommy Smith Fish in the air.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: This is what our bomb worth, Shanta. Damian Lillard. Yes,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: the whole track Blacklist is nearly three minutes and it's
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: on his SoundCloud. So that was him, a portion of
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: him just expressing everything. And I encourage everybody to go
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: listen to that. You know, he goes by Dame Dollar.
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: He's an artist. Damian Lillard is really nice. He's a
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: don't rap basketball and Dame Dollar is really good at
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: rap as well. Yes, it is all right, be samone. Now.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: Some people have some things to say about comments that
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: she made on Nick Cannon Show where she talks about
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: her dating life and what her deal breakers are in
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: a relationship. Here's what she had to say, older, older,
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: He can't have nine to five? What you don't want
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: to have? An honest job? He could be a hustling entrepreneurs.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: So you want him to be a you want CEO status? Yes, okay,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: he can't. He can't. He can't clock in and clock, y'all.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Damn you date entrepreneurs, all right? So she doesn't want
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: to date somebody with a nine to five. Here's what
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: else she has to say. It in the cannon everything.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: I have my dream career. I manifested it. I'm trying
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: to manifest the husband. Ain't that wrong with a nine
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: to five? I get it? They work hard. I used
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: to have a mind to five. Nothing is wrong, nothing
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: is hell. I don't need an entrepreneur. I need somebody
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: that understands fine mindset. Somebody that has the same lifestyle.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: Hasn't do with money. Everything to do with lifestyle. But
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: I'm in the bed at three am checking emails. What
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: you're doing, babe? Working? What she's only working? Hey? Love you?
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: You want to have on a flight tomorrow? I have
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: a meeting and out of town. You want to go?
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: You gotta do you understand my life? So people definitely
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: reacted to this on social media. What do you think
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: about it? I mean, I don't understand it. I don't
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: get it. There's nothing wrong with somebody help working in
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: nine to five. But everything is in preference. If that's
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: what she prefers, that's what she prefers. I don't see
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: any I don't see anything wrong when anybody happen to
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: nine to five and working, So I mean I would
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: be upset. I would be upset if I wanted to
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: date be someone and I was furloughed or fired from
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: my nine all right, that would make me feel away.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why she nine to five shaming people?
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: What's wrong with having a job? Yeah, I don't know.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: And a lot of times people do have a nine
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: to five and make way more money than entrepreneurs do
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: or can be even you know, some entrepreneurs. Just because
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: you're an entrepreneur doesn't mean that you're a successful or
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: be super motivated either. Correct. Anybody calls themselves an entrepreneur nowadays,
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: and that's our preference. And she's entitled or a preference.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: But she just don't understand. What's the problem with somebody
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: having to nine and the five job? I don't I
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: don't understand. Nine to five jobs make great money and
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: even if they even if they don't make great money,
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: if you're making a living, be happy, like That's what
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: I would you given nine to five and you're an entrepreneur,
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: then does that count? You can you can do both
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: you should. You should be doing both. There's one hundred
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: and sixty eight dollars in a week, so once you
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: do your nine to five, you should be putting some
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: money towards, you know, whatever your entrepreneur dreams are. But
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: I just I just don't see the point of shaming
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: somebody with a nine to five, like there's nothing wrong
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: with a nine to five job. Jobs are good people,
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: you know how. You know they're good because it's forty
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: million people right now, forty plus million people who don't
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: have one, and they would gladly take one of those
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: nine to five jobs on they goddamn table. I don't
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: know what you wouldn't cut somebody in your daddy, huh?
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: She talking about Dash just came out the job as
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: a job smooth. To everybody out there who has a
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: job right now, you are blessed, strust me. It's forty
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: plus million people out there who wish they had a job.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: Well maybe they don't because that unemployment is booming the
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: people that can get it. It's forty focusing it. Those
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: people can't get the unemployment, and these people who have

• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: today for Wednesday, June tenth, goes to New York Police
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: Union President Michael Mara. Now we all know that people's
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: worldview is based off their own personal experiences. We all
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: see things differently, even if we're looking at the same thing.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: We all feel things differently, even if we are experiencing
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: the same thing. We all hear and comprehend things differently,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: even if we are listening to the same thing. That's
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: just the world we live in. I try to be
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: tolerant of people's worldview. No, tylerant isn't the right word.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: I try to be indifferent about people's worldview. I scrive
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: keyword scribe, because I definitely don't always get that right.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: I scrive to be indifferent of people's worldview because unless
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: someone's worldview is actually dangerous to my and others existence,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: I don't feel they need to challenge it. That's just
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: how they feel, That's just how they see things. They allies.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: The problem with a lot of folks, though, you know,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: worldviews are dangerous. A lot of folks worldview actually cause
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: his harm and danger to others. And that's exactly where
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: we all with Michael Mara. Now, of course, you know
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: what's been protest in New York City in regards for
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: George Floyd. NYPD has a long history of police brutality
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: and police killings. Sean Bell I'm gonna do Deallo Ragana
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: just to name a few. You got cops like Francisco Garcia.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: Do you all remember him? He kind of went under
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: the rug right, Remember he tasted and punch that young man.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: A few weeks back. He's been named in seven lawsuits
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: settled by a New York City police for two hundred
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: and ten thousand dollars. Literally before the protests, we were
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: complaining about the NYPD and how they were going through
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: black and brown neighborhoods, putting their hands on people who
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: weren't social distancing, but treating white folks with the utmost respect.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: Since then, anybody with an Instagram or Facebook can see
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: videos of police being violent towards protesters. Okay, it didn't stop,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: all right, It actually got worse. We've seen them sheve protesters.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: We've seen them pepper spray piece for protesters. We've seen
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: them beaten delivery guys with Night six. We've seen them
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: drive a police vehicle into a crowd of protesters in Brooklyn. Okay,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: I haven't heard any officer apologize I say that was wrong,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: not saying it hasn't happened. I just haven't heard it publicly. Okay,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen it. Hell Man de Blasio defended it.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: He said, and I quote, if a police officers in
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: that situation, they have to get out of that situation.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: End quote. The Blasio sounds like Marshawn Lynch saying he
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: got to run through a mother Effa's face. Okay, if
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: you gotta run through a mother's face, run through that face,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: all right. When you hear the man say that, when
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: you hear the celebrity in chief, Donald J. Trump say
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: things like he said yesterday, the seventy five year old
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: man who got pushed to the ground, skull cracked open,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: was a setup for Mantifa. When you hear stuff like that,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: you realize how deep the corruption goes in these police departments,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: and you realize why nothing ever changes. If the man
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: don't care, if the celebrity in chief, the president don't care,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: why would these cops ever care? And not being held
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: accountable because the people in charge don't hold them accountable. Now,
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: would you like to hear with New York Police Union
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: president Michael Mara said yesterday, let's hear it, stop treating
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: us like animals and thugs and start treating us with
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: some respect. We've been left out of the conversation, We've
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: been philified. It's disgusting trying to make us a barrass
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: of our profession. Three hundred and seventy five million interactions,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: overwhelmingly positively. Nobody talks about all the police officers that
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: were killed in the last week in the United States
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: of America, and there were a number of them. We
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: don't condone Minneapolis. We roundly we're checked what he did
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: as disgusting. It's not what we do, it's how a
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: police officers do. All legislators abandoned us. The press is
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: vilifying us. Well, you know what, guy, I'll proud to
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: be a cop, and I'm gonna continue to be proud
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: to be a cop until the day I retire. O'Mara said.
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: Police officers have been left out of the discussion. No,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: you guys are the discussion, all right. This is actually
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: all about you and the way you treat citizens of
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: this country. In fact, if police weren't out here killing
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: on black and brown folks, you know, killing it on
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: white folks, if they weren't out here pushing seventy five
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: year old into the ground and slamming women on their
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: faces and mall parking lots, then we wouldn't be here. Okay, Mike,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: have you seen the same videos I've seen. I'm starting
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: to think there really is a whole different Instagram and
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: Twitter I don't have access to. Because you want people
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: to stop treating cops like animals and thugs when the
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: reality is y'all the ones acting like the animals and thugs.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: You want people to start treating cops with some respect. Well,
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: respect is a two way street. If you want to
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: get it, you've got to give it. Okay, I believe
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: in that quote, but not in regard to the the police,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: because you can listen to the police, be courteous to
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: the police, be respectful to the police, and cops will
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: still be the holes of an ass. I had to
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: say it like that because you can't say those on
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: the radio for some reason. But my point is, Mike o'mera,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: you said you don't condone what happened in Minneapolis with
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: George Floyd, But how do you feel about what happens
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: right here in New York? How do you feel about
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: the NYPD? We don't have to leave this city. Do
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: you think cops driving a police suv into a crowd
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: of protesters? Is that the respect you're talking about is
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: the way Francisco Garcia handles people when he tastes them
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: and punches them. Is that the respect you want from us.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, we are only giving back what we are receiving.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: And Mike says three hundred and seventy five million interactions
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: between officers in the public and all of them were peaceful,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: a majority and the peaceful. I don't remember how he
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: said it, but I just want to know, why is
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: there three hundred and seventy five million interactions? And who
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: keeps counting that kind of stuff? Why is there more
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: interactions with officers in the public then there is actual
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: people in America. I know for a fact the public
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: isn't coming up to the cops, you know, asking them
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: what they're smoking. You know. I know the public isn't
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: pulling over cops for any reason, you know, So why
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: is it so many interactions? Anyway, the moral of the
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: story is this, we don't care. We don't care. We
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: don't care. Okay, y'all gonna stop killing people and beating
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: people up for no reason. We are going to continue
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: to push for legislation like the Justice and Policing Act
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty that bands the type of chokehold that
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: killed George Floyd, that bands no knock warrants and drug cases,
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: or the likelihood of situations like the ones that killed
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: Brianna Taylor don't happen New York past the Eric Garner
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Anti Chokehold Act, making it a felony that in j'all
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: killed using a chokehold like the one that killed Eric Garner.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: We are going to continue to push for those types
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: of things. And if that is what you call treating
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: cops like thugs and animals, if that's what you call
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: treating cops with no respect, then so be it. Okay.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: If you can live with cops like Francisco Garcia, if
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: you can live with cops driving trucks through crowds and
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: peaceful protesters, then we the people can live with you
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: being mad simply because finally, for the first time ever
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: that I can remember, cops are being held accountable for
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: their bs. Please let Remy Mark give New York Police
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: Union president Michael Mara the biggest he haw he ha
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: he ha, You stupid mother? Are you dumb? All right? Well,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: thank you for that donkey today, Charlet Maine. Now when
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: we come back, yesterday, Angelie and Angie Martinez got a
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: chance to speak with Brianna Taylor's mom to meet a palmer,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: So they're gonna talk to her when we come back,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: so don't move. Very serious, very powerful. It's the Breakfast Club,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: Go Morning, the Breakfast Club. Wanting everybody is DJ Envy,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: Angela Ye, Charlomagne Naga. We all the Breakfast Club now.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Angela Ye and Angie Martinez got a chance to speak
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: with Brianna Taylor's mom to meet Ka Palmer yesterday. Yes,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: and it was really important and powerful that we do
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: something like that because Brianna Taylor, everybody's been saying her name.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: Her twenty seventh birthday would have been on Friday, but
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't know the details of how
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: she was killed by police officers and just what Brianna
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: Taylor's mom, to Mika Palmer, was dealing with after her
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: daughter was murdered by the police. So let's get into
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: the interview now. One of the reasons I really wanted
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: Angela and I to do this together is because I
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: was really you know, and I really think about it
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: until Landa and everyone to Mika Mallory who were on
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: the call shared with us that sometimes getting justice for
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: women seems harder to get people's attention and get people
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: organized and get people riled up, and that really disturbed me,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: and we were on a group full of incredible women.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: Each person on that zoom vowed to be committed to
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: getting Brianna's story out there and to getting people to
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: understand that something actually can be done and needs to
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: be done. And Angela and I were just part of
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: a large group of women who also made that commitment,
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: and we thought that together that we could use both
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: of our platforms to help get Brihanna's story out and
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: the hashtagers has been trending, and then everybody knows what happened.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: But I would love to hear from you to Maka,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: exactly what happened to your daughter. She was killed by
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: Louibo Metro Police Department Friday, Marched the thirteenth. They went
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: into her home for a warrant or something or another,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: did not announce themselves, scared the crap out of her
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: and her boyfriend, who apparently let off a shot, and
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: then they proceeded to shoot twenty something times into their
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: home and shot her eight times. Okay, so the reason
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: why they went into Brianna's home was they said they
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: were looking for somebody who didn't even live at that address,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: who was allegedly selling drugs out of the house, and
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: that person had already been in custody right prior to
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: them even entering the home. Exactly. We hear conflicting stories
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: about whether he actually lived there at some point where
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: he used to live there. You actually told us that
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: that's not true at all. Yeah, he's never lived there,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: and they had what was called a no knock warrant.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: So can you break down what is a no knock warrant?
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: Because this was my first time hearing about this too.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't know you could just barge into somebody's house,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: break down the door, and not even announce yourselves. And
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: there are some discrepancies on whether or not the police
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: announced that they were there, announced that they had a warrant,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: or if they just broke in, because apparently both Brianna
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: and her boyfriend Kenneth Walker, thought that somebody was breaking
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: into their home, and he was a licensed gun owner
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: and did fire at the police because he thought that
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: somebody was breaking in correct, correct, he fired at the police.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 1: He also called the police because he did not know
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: that these were police officers coming into the home. So apparently,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: like you said, this no knock there, they can come there,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 1: bust down the door and just come in. They hit
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: the door with a battering round several times. Brianna and
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: Kenny both were screaming, who is it? Who's at the door?
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: They never announced themselves, but when they first released their
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: story they said that they announced themselves. But yeah, Kenny,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: several neighbors, no one hurted them, announced themselves, right. And
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: so what was even more shocking to me was that
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: Kenneth was actually charged with shooting a police offer with
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: attempt Was it attempted murder that he was charged with
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: at first? Yes, ma'am. I just want to set the
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: scene because hearing the story from you personally really changed
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: some of the perspective I had. Well, not that I
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: had any other perspective except that justice should be done
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: for Brianna, but it just really I really understood the
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: moment and how it happened that this young girl, seeming
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: the amazing girl who had a career and helped to
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: help people. Clearly she cared about people. She was a
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: healthcare provider, she was an EMT worker, was home minding
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: her business and her own apartment, and somebody bust into
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: her house. And from what I'm understanding, even though the
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: police say that they announced themselves. This is a small apartment, correct,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: this is a compenx where if there was police activity,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: a neighbor, somebody in the hallway. I mean, is it
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: the type of apartment where you hear your neighbors like, Yeah,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: there's not a hallway. Each person has their own door,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: but it's a very small square there that you go
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: in to get into these eight of there's eight apartments
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: in each building. So yeah, you absolutely were here somebody
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: out there. So any other neighbors would tell you she's
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: pretty quiet. They never really ever heard or you know,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: they saw her coming and going for going to work
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: or you know, coming and going with her. Sit my
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: other daughter, which is her little sister, never really made
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of noise. So to hear all of this
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: stuff going on would alarm people. Have these police officer
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: has been charged with anything yet now? So they haven't
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: been charged, they only they haven't even been fired. No,
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: they're on administrative leaves, so they're still being paid by
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: the police department. And what shocking is this happened Marched thirteen. Yes, Yeah,
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: one of the saddest things that I learned from you
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: to Maka on the phone yesterday and I heard you
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: say also at one of the protests, was that you
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: have felt alone for quite a while, like people are
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: stepping up now and really demanding justice and really inspired
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: by some of the other things that are happening in
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 1: this country that people are like, Okay, let let's focus
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: on Brianna now. But you've been fighting this fight since
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: the day you lost your daughter, absolutely and when it
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: sucked alone because you know, you hear these different stories
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: all the time. The police go in, it's a rate
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: going bad, people are shooting, so you think these people
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: were doing selling drugs and shot at the police, so
• 1:14:00

  Speaker 1: Angie Martinez and Angela Ye had a chance to speak
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: with Tamika Palma yesterday. That's Brianna Taylor's mom. So let's
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: get back into part two of the interview. Is the
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: breakfast club. Good morning. Where were you when you found out? Like?
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: Who called you? How did you even know something was happening?
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: Kenny called me her boyfriend. I was home in bed.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: Kenny called me and said that somebody kicked in the
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: door and he thinks Brianna's shot and I and I'm like,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: what do you mean you think she shot? Where is he?
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: He said he couldn't see like he had like he
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: was yelling her name and like screaming for it. But
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: so of course I jump up and we kind of
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: we get disconnected. I dropped the phone and whatnot. But
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: so I get dressed in our head over there. But
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: in the middle of me heading over there, I'm calling
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: King's phone. It's not answering. So I'm calling Brianna's phone
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: and she's not answering. And so when I get to
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: her street, it's lined with police. There's an officer at
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: the end of the road who I tell that I
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: need to get through. There's something's going on with my daughter.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: She tells me that I needed to get to the hospital.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: That two ambulance had been through. One took an officer
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: and the other took the girl whoever was hurt. And
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: when I get to the hospital, I'll tell them why
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: they're there. So they checked. She comes back and said, well,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: she's not here, and I said, well, I don't know,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: maybe I got here before her. And so I sat
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: there for about two hours and the lady comes out
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: and says, well, ma'am, there's no recollection of this person
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: even being on the way. So I knew that I
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: needed to get back to the apartment. They sent you
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: to the hospital knowing that she was not at the hospital. Yeah,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: and she was still the apartment, yes, ma'am. Yeah. What
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: did they say? Did they give you, like, why did
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: they say it's either haything? Well, at that point they didn't.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: They didn't. No one knew what was quite going on.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: But once I got back, um, I was able to
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: get through a little more. So I was closer to
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: the apartment and there was some more officers kind of
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: standing there hanging around. So I told them who I
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: was and that I needed to get into the apartment
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: and see what was going on with my daughter. So
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: they told me to hang tight, that a detective would
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: come over and talk to me, and so I we
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: stood out there about two hours before the detective came over.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: So when he comes over again, we introductions who I am,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: who he is, and so he asked me if I
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: knew of anybody who would want to hurt Rihanna or
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: Kitty and um, so of course I say no, you know,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 1: of course not like, why would they ask you that
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: when they knew who did that to her? Well? I
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: at this point they still hadn't told me and who
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: did this and what happened? So he yeah, So I asked,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: where's Kenny, you know, like, well, I need to talk
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: to Kenny. And so he told me to hang tight.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: So he come back about another hour and a half
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: two hours later, and he asked, had Brianna and Kenny
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: been having any problems? And I'm like, are you no?
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: Are you insinuating Kenny did something to Brianna because Kenny
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: would never hurt her? And so at this point, I'm screaming,
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: where's Kenny. I need to talk to Kenny. So he says, well,
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: Kenny's at one of our officers, trying to help us
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: piece together what happened here tonight. I asked about the
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: officer being shot. I said, well, why was there? They said,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: an officervice shot? He said, well, he was here responding
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: to a call, and I said a call for what?
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: He said, well, there were some officers. Was there to
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: serve a narcotics warrant And I said for who, because
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: Brianna and Kenny ain't got ain't selling no nicartis. And
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: he said he wasn't for sure, he hadn't seen the warrant.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: And I said, well, I want to see the warrant
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: and he said, well, that he didn't know where it was,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: that they hadn't seen it, that it could have gotten
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: lost in the shuffle of things. So he tells us
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: to wait again. So it was probably about eleven am
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: when he comes back over and tells us it'll be
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: a little bit longer, that'll be wrapping up and that
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: we'll be able to get into the house. And I say, well,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: why won't you tell me where Brianna is. I need
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 1: to see Brianna. And he says, well, well, she's still
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: in the apartment. Wow, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: was so sorry that we have to make you tell
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: the story, and even that it's important that people know
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: the details of what it is that she went through
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: the cover ups And I can't even imagine how that
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: must feel to know that they gave you the runaround
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: like that at that time, and the only thing you
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: want to know is where is my daughter exactly? And
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: so when he says she's in the apartment, I knew
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: what that meant at that time, so I said, but
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: I want to see her. I need to see her.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: I need to know that it's her. And he said, well,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: we've identified her through paperwork. And I said, well, how
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: do you know it's her because there's two women that
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: live in that apartment. And he said, are you sure?
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: And I said, yes, I'm sure because my other daughter
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: lives in that apartment. But at the time I knew
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: she was at home, but I wanted to see Britanna.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: He said that I still couldn't see her, that it
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: would be up to the corner. So the corner finally
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: arrives and it was about one thirty PM when the
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: corner comes out and says, you know, um, that he
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't be allowed to see her, and that
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: they've already identified her. And so they kind of just
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: some other people like snooker away in this vand why
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: the corner was talking to us. Has it any point
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: anyone apologize to you? No has it? I'm sorry? What
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: were gonna says? Let's give her a moment? Okay, Okay, No,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: we really do appreciate you for your strength and being
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: able to relay this story. I know you've told it
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: countless times, and we just want people to hear your
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: story and we want some action to be taken. What
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 1: does justice look like for you? Now? Uh? These officers
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: being fired and the rest that if anybody else would
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 1: have done if they be arrested. So they obtained a
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: warne under a line. They told several stories and so
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: they should be arrested. I mean they lie. They there
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: was no reason for them to be there. And the
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: person you you want it so you proclaimed to want
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: it was in custody. So to go in there at
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: one in the morning and scare her and kill her?
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: So what can we do now? Right? What do we
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: do now? How do we help? I know the system
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: is one conversation, but how do we help to meet
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: get justice from her daughter? Right now? As a community?
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: What can we do? Contact the mayor's office to fire
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: the office to how the officers involved, fire best Officer
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: Brett Hankinson, Mouse mouse cosgrowth and Jomattically they need to
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: be terminated from their positions. Daniel Cameron, the Kentucky Attorney General,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: needs to charge the officers and prosecute them aggressively. And
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: then we also have this Thursday, Metro Council will be
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: voting on Brianna's law and it's written down it's too significantly.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: They meet the use of no knock warrants to only
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: the most agree justus of offensives like kidnapping, murder, human trafficking.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: But there is discussion to make that a complete ban
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: on no knock warrants, and we do think that that
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: is important. So those are three things right off the
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: bat is band no knock warrants, terminate the officers in George,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: and aggressively prosecute y'all. Wow, Well, it took a lot
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: of strength for it to Mika Palmer to even be
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: able to tell this story and have to relive those
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: events again. But the full interview is on the Breakfast
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: Club YouTube page. Angie Martinez will also be airing the
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: interview during her show later on today. And again, those
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: officers names are Sergeant Jonathan matting Lee, Officer Brett Hankinson,
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: and Officer Miles class Groves. So we do want to
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: make sure that at least for the sake of the family,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: for Brianna till his friends, and just in general, you
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that there is some justice here.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: You can again go look and see the full interview
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club YouTube page. All right, and when
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: we come back, we got rumors on the way, so
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Go morning, the Breakfast Club. Listen,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: it's just oh Gosport got Angel into its reports Club. Well,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: first of all, y'all know, I love me some Lizzo,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: and Lizzo came through with a great message because she
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: has been working out and she posts her work out
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: all the time, and here's what she had to say. So,
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: I've been working out consistently for the last five years,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: So I'm not working out to have your ideal body type.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: I'm working out to have my ideal body type. And
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 1: you know what type. That is none of your business
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: because I am beautiful, and worry about your own goddamn body.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 1: Because health is not just determined on what you look
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: like on the outside. Health is also what happens on
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: the inside. And a lot of y'all need to do
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: a cleans for your insides. Yes, I love it is
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: very important investing your mental wealth. It's clear lizlew in
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: shape though. I mean you could tell when she dances
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: on stage. Yeah, her performances be amazing. So for you,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: for you to be for you to be that big
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: and be able to move like that, you definitely in shape.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, Russell Westbrook is going to be executive
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: producing Terror and Tulsa. It's a docu series for blackfin
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: and that is to mark the upcoming one hundredth anniversary
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: of the infamous Tulsa race massacre. And so that should
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: be really interesting to watch. And as you know, we've
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: talked about this previously. Dream Hampton is also going to
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: be directing Black Wall Street. That's a limited documentary series
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: about the Tulsa race massacre for Cineflex Productions as well.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: So these stories are being told. Yeah, and those are
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 1: great stories because they inspired because a lot of the
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: things that you know, black people talk about now as
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: far as you know, black ownership and you know, finding freedom,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: generational wealth, and yeah, these aren't conversations. These things have
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: happened before, like like in the Black Wall Street is
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: one of those stories. All right. Now, Lionel Ritchie has
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: a musical coming All Night Long that's in the works
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 1: from Disney. It's going to be a movie based on
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: the songs. Yeah, so that should be interesting to watch.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: I'm not mad at that. Yeah, I think that's the dope.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: I like that. I like anything that's like based on
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: you know, real life people and musicals in particular, So
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: I'll be interested to watch that. All right. Anna went tour.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: You know her from being the editor in chief of
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: Vogue magazine, and she's the person that everybody wants to
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: be friends so they can go to the met gal
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: and all of that. Well, she has admitted that Vogue
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: has been hurtful and intolerant and not done enough to
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: promote black staff and designers. We've been knew this, she said.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: I want to start by acknowledging your feelings and expressing
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 1: my empathy toward what so many of you are going
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: through sadness, hurt, and anger too. I want to say this,
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: especially to the black members of our team. I can
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: only imagine what these days have been like, but I
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 1: also know that the hurt and violence and injustice we're
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: seeing and talking about have been around for a long time.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 1: Recognizing it and doing something about it is overdue. So
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 1: you know, Vogue, and that's something that people have looked
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: to for so long, and just as like such a
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: big deal to be on the cover of Vogue, and
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: they're still having like a lot of first moments, like
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: first black photographer, first this, and it's like, come on, Voe,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: let's get with the times now. One of the co
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: creators of Friends, Marta Kaufman, also confessed that she should
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: have been more diligent and addressing the very white shows
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: a lack of diversity. She said, I wish I knew
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: then what I know today, I would have made very
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: different decisions. I mean, we've always encouraged people of diversity
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: in our company, but I didn't do enough. And now
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: all I can think about is what can I do?
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: What can I do differently? How can I run my
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: show in a new way? And that's something I not
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: only wish I knew when I started show running, but
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: I wish I knew all the way up through last year.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: And you know, people talk about Friends all the time
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: and how there's no black people on Friends ever, and
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: that's been a conversation that people have been having for
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: quite some time. Yes, and Friends is just a rip
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: off of living single. Let's be clear on that. Okay,
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: I never watched Friends. I never. I never watched it
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: at all. I definitely have watched Friends because it used
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: to come on so much that sometimes you just turn
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: on the TV. And I used to watch Seinfeld and
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: I think Friends. I feel like Friends used to come
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: on right after Seinfeld or something. But for some reason,
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: like I'll randomly know certain episodes, I never watched something.
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: I never watched none of that. Not a lie. Nope,
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: I never watched none of the older I never watched Chairs.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: I never watched none of that stuff. I used to
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: watch Chears now I know, I know the theme. I
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: never watched it. I like, I used to think it
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: was pretty funny. So all right. Now. Neo has faced
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: some backlash after he spoke at George Floyd's funeral. So
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: and you can tell he did not have any intention
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: of having to go up there and speak, and maybe
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 1: he just misspoke, but here's what he said, because he
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: actually sang, it's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 1: in honor of mister Floyd. And here's what he said.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 1: This man change the world, change the world for the better.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: So I just want to personally thank George Floyd for
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: his sacrifice so that my kids can be ill later on.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: I appreciate, I appreciate the sacrifice my brother. I genuinely do. Sorry,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm a bit of talk. All he received backlash, well,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: I think you know, over him saying that George Floyd
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: sacrificed himself so that his children can live, and I think,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 1: you know, the truth of the matter is he didn't sacrifice.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: He just was murdered by the police. It wasn't something
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: that he intended to do. And I don't think Neo
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: meant any harm by that, by the way, I think
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: that at all. I think that what he meant to
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 1: say was, let's not let George Floyd's death go in vain,
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: Let's not let his murder go in vain. I don't
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: think that George Floyd was like, I'm sacrificing for people's kids.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: But I just think that's what he really meant. And
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: sometimes people when they have to freestyle and get up, Yeah,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: he's uncomfortable. He's singing at a funeral. Words just came
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 1: out of his mouth. We know what Neo meant man,
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: And what Neo said was, yes, if George Floyd died
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: and hopefully my kids to have a better life because
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: of what happened, that's all he meant, right, And I'm
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: sure that's what he meant. Yeah, I don't know what
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 1: Neo meant, but I know that you know, Jesus got murdered,
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: and they say Jesus made a sacrifice. Martin Luther King
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: Junior and Malcolm X got murdered and people say they
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 1: made a sacrifice. So what makes it a sacrifice when
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: you're doing work that you know ultimately will get you killed.
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 1: Because I don't I don't think George Floyd wanted to
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: get murdered. But if you believe in God and you
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: believe everything happens for a reason, then maybe it was
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 1: a sacrifice, especially if it serves a greater purpose. The
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: question is, if you knew something like that had to
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: happen to you to bring about universal systemic change in
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: the hearts and minds of people and laws, would you
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: do it? Would you make that sacrifice? I should read
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: a question right, Well, you know, I just think that
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: Neo didn't mean any harm. So I just wanted to
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: put that out there because clearly he's performing at this
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: man 's funeral and doing that and I'm sure that's
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: not something that you get paid to do, like you
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: just do it because you want to, because you care,
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: and you care about the family and you care about
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: the friends, and so I'm sure his intentions were good,
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: and we have to think about people's intentions at times
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: as well. All right, I'm Angela Yee and that is
