is blessed black and Holly favor. My human existence is
always U somewhere between O and K. But we're here,
We're live. I am okay, I ain't between owen K.
Let me tell you guys, so ever since I took
that COVID nineteen tests, right, and maybe it was just

(01:25):
my mind whatever. Since I took it, I thought I
had coronavirus. I started getting sniffuls, my head started hurting,
I started having little body aches. Now mind, you've been
working out, but still I thought I had it. And
it came back negative last night, and I was happy.
Me and my daughter are negative. So I was excited
about that. All right, Now you gotta get tested again

(01:47):
in three days the way else. Kiss. Now that's good.
That's I told you. I didn't mind, but you got
your results in fifteen minutes. And fifteen minutes was a
tough time for me to wait. During that time, I
was standing there. The doctor was like, okay, you can
move away. Let you know. Mine was a full day.
I kept hitting the the assistant back, like every physician's

(02:09):
assistant back, like every hour, like hey, did you get
it back it? Hey? Did you get it good? Did
you get here? She was like no, I'll let you know.
And then she got it. She was like, oh, you're
both negative. You're fine, and she sent me to report
and I'm like, all right, So they just changed. They
just changed the coronavirus testing guidance. Oh yeah, well I
just took I'm good money. No. Before they said that

(02:29):
if you came in contact with somebody who was positive,
that you should get tested. Now the new guidelines are
saying that people without symptoms probably don't need it, even
if you've been in close contact with an infected person. Well,
I don't know what all that means. But from why
she had to take it, I took you with it,
That's all I know. Doctor. When did they make these

(02:51):
new guidelines that he was in surgery, he said, when
that happened, so he wasn't part of that conversation. He
was under anesthesia. But now that's the new CDC guidelines.

only person he could do that with was Quincy Jones, right,

(04:17):
I don't know anyway you said the only person that
could do that verses with him? Yeah, versus against him,
We'll be Quincy. That's all I could see. But anyway,
let's get the show cracking front page news. What we're
talking about, Well, let's talk about this NBA boycott. We'll
give you some updates on what happened yesterday. And what

(04:37):
can we expect in the future when it comes to
the NBA. All right, we'll get into all that when
we come back. Keep a lock. This to Breakfast club.
Good morning morning. Everybody is DJA Envy, Angela, yee, Charlomagne
the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's getting some
front page news now the NBA. There were no sports
last night or yesterday. You want to explain what the
NBA did yesterday? Ye yes, NBA players and coaches. He

(05:00):
had an impromptu meeting in the bubble yesterday to talk
about plans following the postponement of the playoff games from yesterday,
which include no boycott boycott in the playoff games. I
postponement boycott, Well, at first, it's a postponements everybody. I
don't know if everybody's in agreement right now on moving forward.
What's going to happen. Well, he's definitely a boycott. Le

(05:22):
Bron wanted to clarify that he didn't say it's a boycott.
Here's what point guard George Hill had to say for
the Milwaukee Bucks. When we take the court and represent
Milwaukee in Wisconsin, we are expected to play at a
high level, give maximum effort to hold each other accountable.
We hold ourselves to that standard, and in this moment,
we are demanding the same from lawmakers and law enforcement.

(05:44):
We are calling for justice for Jacob Blake and demand
the officers be held accountable. For this to occur, it
is imperative for the Wisconsin State Legislator to reconvene after
months of inaction and take the meaningful measures to address
issues of police accountability. The talented a criminal justice reform. Yeah,

(06:05):
they said it ahead, go ahead, now, they said. The
Lakers and Clippers have voted not to continue the NBA season,
so they don't even want to come back. They like, yeah,
they don't want to continue. There they're those are the
only two teams so far that but yesterday all those
teams boycotted, like you know, the Bucks boycotted, you know,
the Lakers boycotted, the Clipper boycotted, Thunder boycotted, the Rocket boycotted.

(06:26):
The w NBA teams boycotted. Two baseball teams boycotted. It's
a boycott, right, It was more than two Major League
Baseball teams. They were actually three games, um and then
also Major League Soccer. So w NBA teams now here
is a w NBA player, and she's actually speaking for
the entire w NBA. Elizabeth Williams from the Atlanta Dream.
The consensus is to not play in to night's lative

(06:48):
games and to nil lock arms and race fists during
the national anthem. We stand in solidarity with our brothers
in the NBA, and we'll continue this conversation with our
brothers and sisters across all leagues and luck to take
collective action. What we have seen over the last few
months and most recently with the brutal police shooting of
Jacob Blake is overwhelming, and while we hurt for Jacob

(07:10):
and his community, we also have an opportunity to keep
the focus on the issues and demand change. Yeah, I mean,
boycotting is a hell of a statement. I like to
stand there taking You just got to make sure it's
a plan, make sure us to call the action. You know,
what do you do next? What are your demands? My man,
doctor Weis Bellamy said last night that you know, now
that we have folks attention, let's go after policy change.
Let's collectively call for the end of qualified immunity in

(07:33):
the reallocation of resources within those state, local and federal
police budgets, and I think, you know, in Milwaukee, the
Bucks and the Brewers, they should ask for full transparency
and the investigation, and they should push for him to
fire and arrest the police. And on the national level,
people could you know, push to make the Senate past
to George Floyd Policing Act, you know. I just I
just hope those brothers and sisters that are boycott in

(07:54):
a building with folks who are already on the ground,
you know, doing the work, so they can decide how
to collectively take action. Now, Kenny Smith walked off the
inside the NBA set and that was so his support
for the NBA player boycotts. I haven't talked to any
of the players. I'm just like coming in, even like
driving here and getting into into the studio, hearing calls
and people talking. And for me, I think the biggest

(08:18):
thing now is to kind of as a black man,
as a former player, I think it's best for me
to support the players and just not be here tonight
and figure out what happens after that. All good. Just
make sure you have a plan. Just make sure as
a call to action, you know, make sure some some
demands on the table, you know, We're not going to

(08:39):
play unless X, Y and Z happens, you know. And
like I said, I hope that that they're all building
with people that's already on the ground doing the work
to figure out how to collectively take action. Charles Barkley,
Shaquale O'Neill and Ernie Johnson did finish the show without him.
All right, well, that is your front page news, and
we'll get into a lot more in the next hour
as well. We'll give you some more updates on what's

(09:01):
going on in Wisconsin. All right, get it off your chests.
Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If
you need to vent, call us up right now. Phone
lines to wide open again. Eight hundred five eight five
one five one. It's the Breakfast Clucal morning, the Breakfast Club.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're man, Thank you from you on the Breakfast Club.

(09:25):
You got something on your mind? Let out hello, who's
this man? What's happening in Duenna? Get it off your chests, brother, man.
I just wanted to talk about the NBA and how
they stood together, man, and how dope it was. Man.

(09:46):
Just to see everybody on one the court or for
the most part, and to stand up and say this,
like they said, is bigger than basketball, you know what
I mean. M you just gotta make sure they got
a plan moving forward though, That's all. Yeah, make sure
that they can make sure they connected with people on
the ground and figure out how to collectively take action
and really push for some sort of change. So let

(10:07):
me ask you, Charlottmgagne, what type of plans would you
have in store. Well, you know, my man doctor west Bellamy,
he said something last night that I liked a lot.
He said, you know, we can collectively call for the
end of qualified immunity and the reallocation of resources within
like the local, state and federal police budgets. I personally
think that the Brewers in Milwaukee and the Bucks in Milwaukee,

(10:29):
they should ask for full transparency and the investigation of
the brother who got shot several times in the back,
and they should push for them to fire and arrest
the police like right now. And on the national level,
you know, we can collectively push to probably make the
Senate pastor George Floyd Policing Act. You know, that's the
that's the that's the build at the house. It pushed
to the house a couple months ago. But of course

(10:50):
the Senate ain't pushing it through. But those are the
things I think we should be collectively push it for now. Yeah,
and I don't want them to forget about Brianna Taylor
as we see and all that. Yeah, all that's in
the enjoy for policing. Start stop, knock on warrants. The
thing is is we can scream, we can cry, we
can yell, we can fight, we can kick. But the

(11:11):
problem is is it has to be an investigation, no
matter what it is, it has to be an investigation
right before anything really goes to tryal or the goals
to court, any of those things. I feel we need
an outside investigator. We can't keep using the same investigators
that work for the companies that were investigate. That makes
no sense that the police. I always wonder about that.
I don't know can the police do that? Can the
police have outside investigations? But that's what I don't know.

(11:33):
Who we need? Yeah, they can do that. The same
thing if if somebody up here on the breakfast club
doesn't they say okay, MV you investigate, Okay, yeah, like
I'm gonna investigate on somebody I've worked with all this
time that I might know that I might have passed
through like and you would love to do Cavity searches
on all the guys up here at the show. That
where he would start the investigation. Always play see you,
always play thank you brother for caller man seeking. That's

(11:54):
the first thing that you think about, hunt Cavity search man,
get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five
one o five one, and you need to vent hit

(13:23):
who's this? Oh? I got high? My name is Aaron
Good morning shot name how queen in morning? So I
was watching um the NBA Little Highlights last night and
it was this white woman who said that the players

(13:45):
should be disqualified for sitting out our boys hatting. And
I don't think that's there at all. I don't feel
like I feel like white people feel like they can
never watch another NBA game and that they should be
in trouble for it. But it's not the it's not
the point. It's just frustrating. I don't have time for
culturally clueless white people who don't understand why the NBA

(14:07):
players are boycotting. Okay, if you don't understand why the
NBA players a boycott, and then you don't understand racism, bigotry,
all the police brutality that black people facing this country.
So why are we even having a conversation? All right,
Well told you gotta stop hanging up on people. Word
Jesus Christ. She didn't even finish it though us anyway,
I mean we didn't get to say her, tell her pizza. Nothing.

(14:28):
Sorry if it challenged, if it ended so abruptly, it's
because drama are brought up. Just hangs up on people,
Just like, why do you complain when I don't hang
up on people? And then now you want to complain

disrespectfulness done. Yes, are you gonna hang up on us? Now?
Toot me? If I cut our would get it off
your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one on five one.

(15:10):
If you need to vent, you can hit u up
at any time. Now, we got rumors on the way. Yes,
we'll be talking about Joe Button. He is walking away
from his deal with Spotify. We'll tell you what he
had to say. All right, we'll get into that next.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club owning
everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy. We
all the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's

(15:31):
talk Joe Button. This is the rumor report with angela year. Well,
it's official. It looks like Joe Button has plans to
leave Spotify. You know, his podcast is on Spotify. That's
where his exclusive deal is. Here's what he had to
say on his last podcast. What seven episodes left? Means

(15:54):
is that September twenty three, this podcast new episodes of
this podcast will no longer be available on Spotify exclusively
September twenty three. I cannot tell you where this podcast
will be, but as it stands, I can tell you
where it will not be, and that is Spotify. Is
he really leaving though, because I listened to that whole

(16:15):
rant yesterday and at the end he was like, hopefully
we can talk today Spotify. Hopefully we can. He's ramping up.
You know. It's kind of like, you know when when
you're in an argument with your girl or ladies, you're
in an argument with your man, and he'd be like,
I word, I'm leaving, I'm leaving, And then when you
walk out the door, you really ain't got nowhere to go,
so you're really just about to come back in the house.
But you just gotta gotta watch You gotta watch it

(16:38):
you say on the way out, because you might say
something that makes that person say, well you know what gone,
then do so you can't get back in, he said.
I mean, he said, I can't tell you where it
will be, but I can tell you where it will
not be, and that is Spotify. And he said that
he has seven more episodes of the podcast that will
be released there now. Spotify did not comment when they

(16:58):
were asked for comments. But he's supposed but I mean,
that's what he's supposed to do. I don't know IF's
supposed to do it on his podcast, but that's what
he's supposed to do. He's supposed to tell everybody's leaving
to other people out there know that he's leaving and
could possibly give him an offer. Um, I didn't hear
the podcast, but you know I did. I listened to
the whole thing, not the whole podcast that I listen to,
that whole rantum and starting around a sixty four minute mark.

(17:18):
But I mean, it sounds to me like Joe Budden
is a person who knows his worth but doesn't know
how to properly negotiate it. Because if you keep doing
deals with various corporations and you keep getting trash ass
deals that's on you, like things like vacation days, bonuses,
all of that has to be negotiated in your contract
from the beginning. But that but that shouldn't be as

(17:40):
manager or is an agent or is it attorney? You know,
shouldn't they be looking out for its best interest, especially
somebody who's done this rodeo before that knows that. I mean,
I know, my attorney has been through this before, so
she's helped a lot, and you know, shouldn't it be that, like,
you know, there's going certain things that I might not
know to ask for, but that's what I pay her for, right. Yeah.
And also too, when I hear when I heard Joe

(18:01):
like comparing his show to like, you know, Spotify signing
gimblet for hundreds of millions and the Ringer for hundreds
of millions in power caps one hundreds of millions, I
think it's very important to note that they got that
money from Spotify because there are actual networks with tons
of IP Those networks have a bunch of shows and
other content, a bunch of staff that knows how to
make those shows. You can't compare your one show to

(18:21):
a whole network. Yeah, but one of the biggest it's
one of the biggest podcasts out there. And and I
don't want to say urban our think not he should
be getting a lot more money than he's getting. I'm
not saying. I'm not saying he shouldn't get a lot
of money. What I'm simply saying is you can have
the number one show on Spotify, but one of those
networks might have six shows in the top ten. You

(18:42):
know what I mean, ten shows in the top twenty
you have one. Didn't hear the podcast? How much does
he say he's getting? Oh, I don't know. He didn't
say numbers. He was just comparing it to the numbers
that are out there for like The Ringer and you know,
Gimblet and other stuff like that. But like I said,
you have one hit show, but that network lad the
Ringer might have ten shows that are all hits, ten

(19:04):
shows that are all solids. So that's all I know
is that if you keep, if you keep having the
same issues with various companies, because it was the same
thing at Complex, it's probably not them, it's probably you,
Joe so Lesten to all the kids out there, you
may know your worth, but you have to know how
to properly negotiate it. But hey, what do I know.
I'm just a man who's in the final year of
his contractor my my deal is up in decembol sword,

(19:25):
I though you're leaving, you're leaving man that they don't
let me. If you don't give me one hundred million dollars.
You're going outside, but you're gonna do the same, and
you would never see me act like that. Now, let's
talk about some important things, like Jacob Blake. Naomi Osaka
has dropped out of the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati, Ohio.
That's her protests because of police violence. Twenty two years

(19:49):
old Tennis Superstars. She was scheduled to be in the
semifinals today at eleven am, but she posted a note
announcing her decision to not play, and she said watching
the continued inside of black people at the hand of
the police is honestly making me sick to my stomach.
She said, before I am an athlete, I am a
black woman, and as a black woman, I feel as
though there are much more important matters at hand that

(20:11):
need immediate attention rather than watching me play tennis. I
don't expect anything drastic to happen with me not playing,
but if I can get a conversation started in a
majority white sport, I consider that a step in the
right direction. Trump want to cludes bons to that young lady.
You know, I respect to listen. I respect all the boycotting,
you know, like I said earlier, though, just make sure
it's a plan behind it. Make sure it's a call

(20:32):
to action. Make sure you got some demands like what
are you gonna do next? Connect with people that are
already on the ground, you know, doing that work, so
you can collectively come up with a plan of action.
This we got some black leverage right now. You got
to use it. But just just know what you're doing.
That's all right, all right, And Lamella Ball is finalizing
his endorsement deal with Puma now. Apparently he'll be the

(20:53):
first of the Ball brothers to actually step outside of
the big ball of brand and do a major endorsement deal.
So that's that rock that's that rock Nation connection. For sure,
you signed a rock Nation and you're getting this poem
with deal. I love poema. That's all I wear, to
be honest with you. I wear poems and I weigh
easy because they're comfortable, not for you know where Jordan's hell, No,

(21:16):
Jordan's so uncomfortable. That's why I got two corns on
my baby tootles now. The ones are very all the time.
I know Jodan's ato uncomfortable for me. I like I do.
I think I like the fives. I think I don't
know what I liked from Jordan. I don't wear Jordanes.
They hurt my feet. Runs are comfortable. All right, Well
I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right,
thank you, miss Ye. Now we got front page. Who's

(21:37):
coming up? What we're talking about? Yes, and we are
going to discuss more about what's happening in Wisconsin. And
we'll be talking about Jacob Blake and we'll talk about
the teenager, the seventeen year old who was arrested and
has been connected to an overnight shooting during a protest
in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Really, uh, I don't even know where

(21:57):
to start, but we'll get into it, right, we'll get
into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Hey morning.
Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we
all the Breakfast Club, Good morning. Okay, Ye's Mike, it's
not now. I had to reset. Oh, I was like
trying to talk to you. All right, Well, let's get

(22:19):
in some front page news. Well, let's start in Wisconsin
and Kenosha, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin cop who fired seven shots
into Jacob Blake's back has been identified Officer Rustin Shsky.
More details from this case are being released and it's
being investigated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of

(22:41):
Criminal Investigation. According to the Department, they said Kenosha Police
Department officers were dispatched to her residence after a female
caller reported that her boyfriend was there and he was
not supposed to be there. During the incident, they the
police attempted to arrest him. They used the taser to
try and stop him, but it did not work. Now,
they said, that's when Jacob Blake walked around his vehicle,

(23:02):
opened the driver's side door and leaned forward. Officer Seski
was holding onto his shirt and fired seven shots into
his back. Now, they had said that he had a knife,
but there according to the report, they said a knife
was recovered from the driver's side floorboard in his car.
So they said there was no way he had that
knife in his possession because it wasn't even close to

(23:26):
him when he was shot in the back. So they
said no other weapons were found in his car either.
I saw him say that yesterday during the present ofference.
Did he admitted he had a knife And how did
that justify two police officers shooting this young man in
the back. Right now, if he had a knife and
he was swinging a knife at the officers, then that's
a different situation. But we didn't see that. And this

(23:48):
is the thing, right, this young man, he wasn't built
like Arnold Schwartzenega, He wasn't diesel, he didn't look huge.
Those two officers could have threw him on the floor,
got him on the floor. They didn't have to shoot
him eleven times. And he was such a threat. He
was such a threat and they were so scared. They
could have got him on the floor. It wasn't huge.
It wasn't like shot shooting eleven times, and just come on, now,
come on now. But they're saying the knife couldn't even

(24:09):
have been in his possession at that time because it
was too far away anyway, and from in the car.
And they said he kept chasing him but that didn't work.
I would look at it like this if I was
chasing the man and it didn't work. Clearly, God don't
want me to have this individual, so let the man go.
But isn't that crazy? It seems you see all these
cases where they chased somebody and tases and not working

(24:30):
like they have to, like they gotta stop with the tastes.
Then that's to tell you something all the time, like
we're trying to chase him, but it didn't work. God's
children alone, leave people alone from and if you ever
get tailores, and if you ever get text once this
last thing, and if you ever get tased, you're not
gonna sit there and get tased and be like, Okay,
I'm stopping. No, it shakes the issh out of you. You
You want to run and get the hell out. I
got tased before, and it wasn't like Okay, I'm just

(24:51):
gonna stay here and get tased. No, you're trying to
move like you want to. You want to get the
f out the way, like nobody's things. I'm just gonna
taste and lay here. No, it don't work like that.
It doesn't work like that. Okay. Now, let's talk about
the seventeen year old who was arrested in the connection
with the shooting of three people. Two of those three
people died. I didn't want to visualize that. Kyle Rittenhouse

(25:12):
is his name, and he is from Antioch, Illinois. So
he has been charged with first degree homicide over the
shooting of three people at the Kenosha protest. They said
he was obsessed with Blue Lives Matter and he appeared
on edge before the shot to rang out here. He
is doing an interview before the shooting. You're doing out here?
Obviously you're armed, and you're in front of this business.

(25:32):
We saw burning last night, So what's up? So people
are getting injured and our job is to protect this business,
and part of my job is alf there's somebody hurt.
I'm running into harm's way. That's why i had my
rescue proect myself. We don't have non league. So you
guys are full. I'm ready to defend the property. Yes,

(25:53):
we are so. He earlier in the night was standing
guard with militia members outside of local businesses. Took it
upon himself to do that. They said on social media,
he idolized the police, he idolized guns and the Blue
Lives Matter movement, and he was arrested Wednesday at his
home in Antioch, Illinois, about twenty miles from Kenosha. Crazy

(26:15):
that he was able to walk around with that rifle
and nobody stopped him and actually shoot people, like behind
the scenes, where was his parents? Like where was his parents,
like your parents just let you go out during protesting
at the age of seventeen, like seventeen old. Seventeen is yeah, seven,

(26:35):
I know how old seventeen is. I have a nineteen
year old in a sixteen year old, and he's about
to be seventeen, but I know where he's at twenty
four seven, and I know if they're protesting, my son's
gonna be home at night. But if you're nineteen year
old wanted to get up and go, he could get
up and go. He's legally able to get up and
go without asking you to go. Oh not in my house.
I don't know how things working in other people's houses.
But if that, my daughter cannot just get up and
go anytime she wants. Not in mind, Yeah, but you can't. Can't.

(26:58):
You can't control a seventeen year old. Eighteen year old
you hope and wished for the best, But if he
wants to go protests, he can go a protest. You
can't put the blame on the parents for that. Some
of it has all right now. The Kenosha Police Chief,
Daniel Miss talks about the incident, and it feels like
he's acting like the people who were out there protesting

(27:19):
and who got shot and even killed. Words to blame.
Listen to this. Everybody involved was out after the curfew.
The CURFUSI in place to protect. Had persons not been
out involved in violation of that, perhaps the situation that
that unfolded would not have happened. So the last night,
a seventeen year old individual from Antioch, Illinois was involved

(27:40):
in the use of firearms to resolve whatever conflict was
in place. The result of it was two people are dead.
This is not a police action. This is not the
action I believe, but those who set out to do protests.
It is the persons who were involved after the legal time,
involved in illegal activity that brought violence to this community. Well,
miss the officer, just keep that same energy when folks

(28:04):
fighting against the injustice have those same guns. Okay, because
I've been telling y artists forever. When you are a
black person in America, owning a legal firearm is a
form of self care. If young men like Kyle gonna
be out there with their weapons and you need to
have yours, you got guns. We got guns. Too simple
as that. That's the police chief, he's got to go.

(28:26):
I mean, that is ridiculous. That's your statement after people
got killed for protesting. Absolutely, your police officers as a
man now paralyzed from the waist down. Absolutely, he's trying
to say. He's simply trying to say, if you didn't
follow the rules, if they would have just followed the rules,
they wouldn't have got shot. Oh please keepin that is

(28:48):
your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye.
Now when we come back, now Rogers will be joining us.

So we'll talk to him when we come back. Don't move.
It's a throwback Thursday, and it's The Breakfast Club. Good Morning,
The Breakfast Club Back. You're kicking out the world's most

(29:32):
dangerous morning show. Morning everybody is cj Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club, and we
got a special guest on the line, a legend and icon.
We have Now Rogers on the line. Good morning, Good
morning y'all without once happening. Now, good morning brother. Now
just in background, I've been trying to get now Rodgers

(29:53):
on this show for the longest, but you're always traveling
all over around the world. So now this pandemic has
cause dudes to have to sit down for a minute
and full disclosure. Now used to be my buss and
the nicest boss, the best boss I've ever had. So
it's an honor to have you on the Breakfast Club.
Thank you, Angela. How was your employees? How was years

(30:15):
and what did she do? So let me let me
give you a little background. Ever since I sort of
got into this phase of my life, I basically have
been living for the songwriter. So I started the label
that was concentrating mostly on video game composers. So I
started a label and a distribution company. I believe that

(30:38):
I was the first African American who had a national
distribution company that was, you know, a really solid, legit
national distribution company, and we did it. We had a
lot of big games. I mean we we we did
everything from obviously Halo, Yeah, but yeah it was great,

(31:00):
you know, God of War Gears. I mean we get
so many many big money. And what did you do?
What was Ye's job? I was doing marketing. But I'm
gonna tell you how me and now the first meeting
we had, And this is so interesting because this really
goes to show you the type of person now all is.
So I had a meeting with him because my friend
Scotty and Charles Scotti owns engine room where I record

(31:22):
my podcast Now and Now, I was about to give
a bunch of money to somebody who wanted to do
some records. But that person wasn't even affiliated with the
group that they claimed to be working with. So they
were like, can you please go talk to Nile. I
don't want him to waste his money giving it to
this person. So I went to have a sit down.
We ended up talking for hours, but afterwards he was like,

(31:43):
what do you do? I kind of like your vibe
And that's how I ended up working with now. Just
like that, he was like, I want to get you
to come work here. You know now you know you
have one of the most diverse pins probably ever in music,
like and one song always think about you wrote Madonna
Like a Virgin. What was your inspiration to be able
to write that record about such an intimate moment for

(32:05):
a woman. Let me set the record straight. Though I
didn't write Like a Virgin, I basically rewrote Like a Virgin.
So basically Madonna brought in a demo and that song
Like a Virgin. The demo was pretty laid out, but
what I what I convinced her to do was to
allow my band Sheep to play it and reinterpret it.
And my reasoning was that Madonna hadn't really blown up yet,

(32:28):
and I convinced her that if she did a purely
electronic version of Like a Virgin, that it would just
seem like anybody's record, but only she interprets music the
way we do it, and so I convinced her to
do that. And basically, with our reinterpretation, Like a Virgin
had a more intimate feeling because the song to me

(32:50):
was touching upon the subject matter that Madonna had to
show me was really really important in a strange way.
You're an architect of hip hop because you know, you
made the Good Times record. Sugar Hill Gang sampled that
for rappers The Lights, and you kind of like an
architecta hip hop? Do you look at yourself in that way? No,
I don't because I never want to take credit for

(33:10):
things that I didn't do intentionally. As a matter of fact,
when I saw the first time, I went to what
he used to call back in the day hip hop,
uh and I said, well, why do you guys call
it that? They said, because he takes something hip and
we hop on it. I was like, oh wow, I
was like. And then I get there and I get

(33:31):
there and the only song they were playing was good Time,
playing the breakdown and dropped them good Time. So like
hours and hours and hours, and there was a long
line of mcs standing in line waiting to go up
to the mic and drop their Ryan over the break
was good Time. I'm like, damn, what is this now?
Now you know what was intention know? You did also

(33:53):
write the biggest gay anthem. I would say to dates,
did you know immediately that a hit? Oh yeah, we knew,
so yo and so what what? What the deal was? So?
Back at that time, I was living around the corner

(34:15):
from students to be flour. I was. I was living
on tifty second Street, and the backdoor studio fifty four
was on tifty third Street between Eighth Athroom and Broadway,
so blocked in. But but in that part of in
that part of Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen, and in Hell's Kitchen
there were a lot of clubs. But there were also

(34:38):
a lot of a lot of gay and trans clubs
in that neighborhood too, because it was an area called
the Trucks, and so in that neighborhood there was a
club called the Gigi barnem Room, and that was mainly
a trans club. So this night I was club hopping
and one of the stops was Gigi barnem Room, and
I went to the bathroom. Um, then those days, I
have to admit that I was usually when I went

(35:00):
to the bathroom of the store, sniff. Okay, come on,
that was that error. Come on, going to be ashamed though, Okay,
So but every but every now and then you actually
did have to use the bathroom for the purpose. I
went in the bathroom and I'm standing there at the urinal,
and I look on either side of me. It was

(35:22):
at least three deep. Diana Ross impersonators. Now this is
early in my career. This is summer of nineteen seventy nine,
and I'm going, oh my god, the light bulb goes
off my head. I think of James Brown, say a lot,
I'm black and I'm proud, and I think fully gave
me what I go. I gotta make a record about this.

(35:43):
But how do I do it and fly under the radar?
So at the time weep the deeper head than meaning
right exactly. So I had to run outside and call
my boy and say, look, write this down because I
know I'm gonna out all night. I forget it, and
he was a slee man, which moment I said, right down,

(36:06):
I'm coming out based off the context of the situation.
What you want to get That's exactly. That's pretty much
went what went down. Then I explained the situation to
him and he said, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.

(36:27):
And we sat in the student we wrote it, and
believe it or not, the truth is that Diana Ross
had actually said that to us, not that she was
coming out because she was gay. We were the only
one that she had confided in that she was leaving Motown.
And you know that after that record, which was her
most successful album ever. We still am making huge money

(36:50):
off that and Berry Gordy didn't believe in that record
or upside down right. They remember she she thought that
it was going to ruin her career. Why as not
only very Gordy, but Frankie Crocker, who was the number
one DJ in the world at that time, told her
after he listened to the songs, you know, Dianna, this
going you in your career because people are gonna think

(37:11):
you're gay. And she says, I'm not gay. And she
came back to the studio and she actually confronted us
and she says, you know, why are you guys trying
to ruin my career? And we said, Dan, if we
ruin your career, we're going to ruin ours. And I
say this, it's the only time in my life that
I actually lied to an artist. I said, Diana, you know,

(37:32):
we come from R and B music, and we have
so many songs that we could play when we start
our show. What do you say to your band when
you get ready to come out on stage? And she
was like, I don't know it, just you know, we
just have ourselves as a liminocy in black music here
in New York. What we do is we say, yo, guys,
what's all we gonna come out with tonight? That Then

(37:55):
when she got into it, then I got all ambitious
and I said, you know what, Diana to this song
comes out, you will never ever in your life come
out to another song. This is going to be your
opening song for the rest of your life. I don't
know if anybody has seen Diana Ross in the last
thirty five years. If you have, she comes out to
that song. We got more with now Rogers when we

(38:17):
come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club, Go Morning Morning.
Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomne the guy. We
are the breakfast club that was still kicking it with
now Rogers. Now, of course he produced I'm Coming Out
and wrote I'm Coming Out, but Diddy and Big had
to call him to clare more money, more problems. How
was that conversation? There was actually no problem. I mean
did he and I I mean did he use a

(38:39):
bunch of my songs that I've worked on me? You know,
uh Notorious Yeah, yeah, yeah, Notorious and faith Record, Love
Love Life this um. And there was a joke at
the time and matter if I've become down with a
while his producers. There was a joke at the time
that any time of man into a jam, I would
just go figul our Roger's record. I wonder, now, why

(39:04):
why not just tell Diana from the beginning that Hey,
this song is gonna serve a dual purpose. It's gonna
be a gay anthem, and it's gonna be your coming
out party from mortem, because we didn't think that that
was the proper thing to do, because she had sat
down and told us about her life, so we wanted
to accurately represent her life. But the thing is that

(39:24):
since we had started with Sheep, we had always had
dual meanings on our songs because I came from a
very political background and Bernard came from the background where
they were sort of subservient. I mean, it was weird.
So I knew that there was a way that as
a musical artist that you could use your pen to

(39:45):
talk about the subject on multiple levels. So Diana, we
interviewed her extensively before we wrote one note of music,
and that was really important. I was trying to say
it earlier, you know, when we did the record of
Just a slage because we had just written. The whole
album was out there and they didn't even hear any
demos until they got to this video and we were
just finishing up the lyrics. Kathie will tell you so

(40:07):
we are family when they walked in, and when they
walked in from your album is done, just sing this
and you got it. So we didn't want to Diana
Rosline because Sister Sledge let us know that they felt
disrespected and blah blah blah. But now they say, man,
thank god we went along. Yes, glad, we listen. We
are Family. The biggest song of your career? You think

(40:28):
we are family? As far as financially, what's the biggest
freak out? Lafreq way bigger. It's the biggest selling single
history of Atlanta. It's even top like four minute flow
Rider topped us for a minute, but because of streaming,
Lafreq just had a wider audience and now it went

(40:49):
back up to the top. And I don't think following
the statistics, I don't think any song on Atlantic Records
will ever cop in and nothing. Mandela was a huge
fan of We Are Family, correct you men? Nelson. Mandela
had no idea how much it impacted him. So when
I met Nelson Mandela, the two things that I was
involved in that he brew him away was we are

(41:10):
a family and coming to America and he said, we
are family. And he was in the cell that he
did hear a song by black Girls being played on
the white radio station, which was totally it just never
happened in South Africa. And then I meet him after
he's released down at Robert De Niro's restaurant and he

(41:31):
walked in the door and he's like, he was like president,
could you know, like wants to talk to every single
person in the room. And when he finally got to
meet and Bernard, somebody said, oh, yeah, these are the
guys who wrote Africa, because a lot of African people
think that the freak goes freak up. So that was like, Bam,

(41:54):
you are the man you wrote Africa. Now you also
mentioned coming to America. Are you working on a new
film coming to America as well? Yeah? I guess that's
a guess. Yeah, I wrote the theme song. So yeah,
they just called me last week. Is that you singing

(42:15):
just let yourself, just let your So I wrote it,
I sang it, and I was laughing because I said, damn,
I know one brother who could actually pull this off
and sound real. Because that's the thing about comedy. When
you do comedy, you gotta be dead serious about your jokes, right.
So like I did be this budhead and we were

(42:36):
doing that. We and Mike Judge and I were writing
songs in character, you know, like I didn't talk to
them like I was Nile. I told him like I was, butdhead,
you know, I was like I would be homework for
your love, you know, and stuffing like that. You know.
So when I was singing told glove to John Landers,
he was on the floor crying. It's like going, all right, well,

(42:57):
I know the brother who's really gonna make you cry.
And that when I got Christopher Matt, did you write
she's your queen to be too? She's your queen? No? No,
So here's the thing. He's that the actor Paul Bates,
that's how he got the role. He used that as
his audition. He wasn't supposed to sing it. He was
just supposed to say she's your queen to be queen

(43:19):
and you know, like say, you know, deliver that. But
he looked at it and he decided to see it
and he made up a melody right on the spot.
The only thing is that Paul not a singer, so
it was all over the place. So I came in
my sne clad. He played it so that it sounds believable.
I want to make sure you finish your Nelson Mandela story.

(43:39):
That was it, he said, the African thing, and we
all family, and that was it. No, no, no, and
you know, and coming to America, so he said, the
reason why coming to the circle was so powerful is
because Eddie Merphers was there also at that meeting that night,
so we were all in this room together. And then
so Madieba tells us the story about how when Paramount

(44:01):
Pictures released coming to America the first time around, they
insisted upon theater being integrated at the premiere and that
was something that resonated across the entire African continent. Black
people and white people sitting together to watch a movie
in South Africa that was like the civil war. It
shows you that music and art, the visual art, dance,

(44:24):
everything has a power to communicate in a much more
powerful in a cerebral way, or you know, after the
theater was forced to be integrated, well, apartheid actually fell
just a few short years after that. I mean, so
that may. I mean, we won't take credit or stopping

(44:45):
a paratid in South Africa, but when something that's a
big cultural phenomenon happened, I mean, you guys have to know,
Yola are a cultural phenomenon. When a cultural phenomenon takes place,
people can't deny it because it touches hearts. Like you
become a human being in their eyes. Even if they
don't want you to marry the daughter, they still can

(45:05):
embrace you in a certain way. They look at you differently.
You know, it's so interesting. I just want everybody to
note that now. Roger said the Breakfast Club is a
cultural phenomenon. Let's not skate past that. Okay, that means something,
all right. But the Sister Sledge record We Are Family
now that they're a hidden meaning in that. Oh yeah, man,
of course. As I said, so, this was an album

(45:28):
that we had written about these four girls that we
never met, so we had to invent an identity. And
once we invented that identity, then we only wrote songs
that pertained to those four people we didn't know. Kathy
the sixteen, the nursery with the Virgil. We didn't know
any of that stuff. We just know what the record

(45:50):
company told them. You know that they were like family
to us, and they stick together like bird. We went
home and like, oh okay, so we had to just
get up. And once we made it up and they
walked in the room and they weren't that it was like,
oh my god, what did we just do to these
poor girls. Well, we didn't think that because we thought

(46:12):
that our image of them was the image they should have.
And in the way, I feel proud because I watched
them girl into those people. All Right, we got more
with now Rogers when we come back, let's get into
a mini mix some of the records he wrote, some
of the records that he performed, some of the records
that were sampled from him. I had annowledged Rogers mini mixes.
The Breakfast Club God Morning that was a now Rogers

(46:33):
mini mix Morning. Everybody is ej Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne
the guy we are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking
with Owl's Roger. Now, Charlomagne, Now, what's been your experience
with racism? All throughout my life? I have had guns
put in my face over and over and over and
over again by cops or just random white people. If
I'm down South playing somewhere. We played in Augusta, GA.

(46:56):
We were all happy, were played in James brown hometown.
Man walked out. I was going to a horse riding stable.
These dudes rolled up on me, cook guns in my faces,
as boy, is that your girlfriend? Because the manager of
the club, I asked her to take me to a
horse riding academy and she was from Ireland and she said,
oh yeah, this one right down the road. I'll drive

(47:18):
you blah blah blah. Because I was even too young
to get a rent a carfee. You can't rent a
card to your twenty one. He drove me. And these
guys were like, if I had my wife for my girlfriend, boom,
I wouldn't be here talking to you. There wouldn't be
no sh you know, not rubbing. But that was just one.
That's one of a hundred. I could talk to you
about a hundred times that either police or just random

(47:39):
white people who would have some kind of beasts intake
you know, you need to back off serious and words.
So that reality has always been in my world, even
in the music game. You grew up in the civil
rights movement, but she was young. But did you understand
the magnitude of that moment, because I know eventually you
became a black panther. So I'm just trying to figure out,
you know, what was falked all that. Yeah, I did

(48:02):
understand it. So I was in elementary school when President
Kennedy got shot in nineteen sixty three, and I remember
one girl in the class saying, yeah, it's a tragedy,
but you know, Martin Luther King could be president just
like President Kennedy, and all the kids jumped on our feet.
Her up and I went over and I protected her,

(48:22):
and I walked her home and she became my sort
of girlfriend at eleven year old. We didn't go all
the way. Yeah it coming. You didn't get lucky. And
for some reason, even though I was sort of like
the joke of the class because I spoke to I speak,

(48:42):
they backed off of her. And very soon after that,
the Beatles came on at Sullivan Show and she told
me to come over our house and Martchu Beatley and
I remember her talking about how doctor Martin Luther King
could be president like President Kennedy and things like that.
Remember I'm eleven years old now, and this is like

(49:04):
hitting me like a ton of bricks, because it's all
started to unfold in front of my stage. These things
were on television every night, and as a young black girl,
she opened my mind a lot. So I was in
the Black Panthers when I was sixteen years old. So
I was in Black Panthers from sixteen to seventeen, and

(49:26):
then when I became seventeen, that's when the FBI co
Intel pro That program just destroyed the Black Panther Party.
It would make you believe that your best friend was
a cop, or your best friend was going to stab
you in the back. It was wow. If you could
have been in New York City at that time and

(49:48):
seeing the level of sophistication of the co Intel program,
it was just incredible. It made us realize that we
were children trying to like a sophisticated government that had
weaponry that we couldn't even imagine. And just to end
the sort of Black Panther story, what really is a

(50:11):
good thing? In my heart, there's so many of those
informants and FBI agents or police trainees that set up
up and went against up many of them had come
up to me and apologized and said it hurts my
heart every day that I did this. A few years ago,

(50:33):
I was walking around and I went to visit the
old office and I was standing there and a cop
walked up to me and he said, I bet you
were in the party, weren't you? And it was a
white cop and I said, yeah, I was. She said
minutes he says, my brother was a cop before me,
and I am apologizing for him. I mean, it was
all brought here to my eyes. We got moved with

(50:55):
now Rogers. When we come back, don't move as the
breakfast local money. Everybody is DJ ve Angela, Ye, Charlemagne
the guy. We are the breakfast club. We get still
kicking it with now Roger's icon, legend write or producer artists. Ye.
Now you said you've had a lot of instances with
the police. Can you give us a specific story just
to let us know what happened. A few years ago.

(51:16):
I was going up to produce a white rock and
roll then, and they were headquartered in Vermont, and you know,
in the college town of Vermont, And somehow, when I
was driving at night, I missed where I was supposed
to turn, and I was driving and driving and driving,
and then all of a sudden, the traffic signs and

(51:38):
the road sign started coming up in French. I was like, damn, well, why,
I said, all of a sudden French, and I realized
I had driven so far north. I was now headed
to Canada, right thanks. I was like, oh, you really
got now, you really got lost. I was like, I
was really lost. I was like, at that point, I

(51:58):
decided to turn off the OA and fill up because
now my car was running out of gas. Now I
had a car that was worth about one hundred thousand
dollars and it's yellow, and it was ridiculous looking. Anybody
could spunt this car mile away? What kind of call
was it? I'm just curious. Ye see, I've seen that

(52:19):
range Rover. It's only made a hundred of them, right, um.
So I pull off and there was no there was
no gas station on this part of the highway before
I would run out of gas. So I pull off
and I see a sign that says, you know, there's
gas and lodgings in this town, in this particular on
the next off ramp. So I get off at the

(52:41):
town and I go in there and it's a you know,
it's a proper little service station that's got a Delhi
attached to it and all that sort of thing. I've
had diabetes since I was since I was in my thirties,
So I just walked into the store my car filling out.
It's got a huge gas thank so it's gonna take
fifty minute. I mean, they're looking at the you know,

(53:03):
whether I'm going to get diet Mountain Do or diet
Doctor Pepper or whatever has enough caffeine to keep me
up with this really long drive. Now back and finally
get on the right exit. As I was standing there
just looking at the sodas two white cops burst in
the door and tell me to get on the ground.
But they're speaking together, so it's this cacopin and sound.

(53:24):
I don't know what they're saying. So I looked behind me,
thinking they're calling to someone else. So I'm thinking, so
I look back, and I'm thinking that if they had
shot me, and you saw the closed circuit camera, they
could easily say he was looking to run. I wasn't
looking to run. I just knew that they weren't talking
to me. So I looked with steg where they were

(53:45):
talking to I'm ready to dunk before these guys start shooting.
And I realized, all of a sudden, the puzzles start
to unravel that this white woman who was working there
at the store, as soon as I walked in the door,
she pushed the panty. But I didn't even have I
think say hello or anything like that, because I just
was like trying to get my diet soda and figure

(54:08):
out how many I got to get and what I'm
going to get. You know, there's a normal stuff. But
he why should I be required to say hello and
present myself as a nice, presentable young man or whatever.
I was just I was a customer. So I finally
discerned that they're telling me to get on the ground
and I ain't getting on the ground. So I just

(54:30):
try and talk to him and say, do you want
me to get on the ground with the diet Mountain
or the diet doctor Pepper? And they could tell from
the way that I'm speaking that, Okay, I guess maybe
he's not a criminals. I don't know what it is.
But suddenly the situation starts to de escalate and calm down.
Then now I feel like I'm in my space. I
paid for the sodas and I explained to him. I said,

(54:53):
you know, all that happened was I missed the turn
off and I'm trying to go to I think it's
more PA, but maybe with some other times com and
I can't know the whatever it is. And I said
to them, you know, I was supposed to go here.
I'm a record producer. I'm going to producer fan and
blah blah blah, and I missed the turn off and
now I'll sign myself going to Quebec. And so they

(55:15):
so they calm down. They say, okay, cool, blah blah blah.
And then they said, well your record is what have
you done? And I you know, right away, I just
hit him with less dance, you know, boom oh, and
probably I ad just done some other big thing. Oh no, yeah, whatever,
whatever I did was the right thing, and they got
all calm. Then now I'm in my element. I feel
like now we're well, now we can talk as men.

(55:36):
And I say, I'm really curious. So you guys are
stay troopers, right, and your training is there anything like
a logic class like when you go into a sign
or a potential cross team is there any kind of
training that says, m, let me start analyzing the situation
as I go with to best protect myself and best

(55:57):
equip me for the situation that I don't know what's
going on. And so when I saw they started feeling
real small, and I said, you know how much that
car cause you see how the distinctive it is. You
see that the thing was filling up. It doesn't work
until I put in the credit card or at least
go to the woman and pay her. So there was

(56:18):
a legitimate transaction going on right now. You could have
thought maybe I had a gun on her and after
the show up my car. But there's a certain sense
of loning. I'd be like if I had a rose
Worthy said, I went, I mean like it does certain
things just so. And then we held that woman accountable
also for even pushing the panic button that could have went.
They didn't even at her, They understood where she was

(56:41):
coming from. It was just really incredible, and it was
just one in a long chain of incidents in my
life throughout my entire life where police had pointed guns
at me. And I'm only alive honestly just because they
didn't shoot, because they would have gotten away with a
completely scott tweet. There was nobody to tell my story. Yeah,

(57:02):
you know, it's such a shame. It's a shame that
we have to always make them feel safe. White people,
we're always the ones in danger, so it is true
that you just can't. I mean, look, you know, I'm
still conscious of it when I get into an elevator.
I remember one one day we had turned a big
multimillion dollars deal and we go out to get a

(57:23):
taxi cab on Lexington and fifty nine Street, and I'm
with my attorney at the time, and I said, you know,
and I'm all suited up and everything, and we go
outside and I try and get a cab. You know,
even I'm in a company and white guys. Still at
the end of the day, the attorney had to go
get the cab. Yeah. Well, I've had to get a cat.
I've had to get cas for a lot of people myself.

(57:44):
So but I get it. I know, we've been talking
a long time. Now, I was gonna say, we are
guy have to do a part two of absolutely now
has a million things that we could talk about, But
I do want to encourage people to go to we
our Family Foundation dot org that you to The front
fund is about to open back up for applications in September,
so we want to make sure that people are aware

(58:04):
of that and the youth really are leaders. This is
a global initiative that you have been doing and been
passionate about. Now for how many years has we are
Family Foundations been? Well? We started right after the tragedy
of September eleven, So we started the foundation officially in
two thousand and two. Wow, we appreciate you for checking

(58:25):
in man and giving us all this knowledge. Man, we
got to do a part two piece man. Thank you. Now,
now Rogers in a breakfast club, good morning, We're gonna
be a dunky because right now you want some real
It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if we
ever feel I need to be adult, man, give me
with the heat. Did she get the name? I had?

(58:47):
Become Donkey of the day the breakfast club Bitchy Donkey
today for Thursday, August twenty seventh, goes the Kenosha, Wisconsin
Police Chief Daniel mus Kinness. Now, I was going down
in Kenosha. The Sunday police shooting of Jacob Blake prompted
protests all throughout the city. If you're just coming home
from jail, if you've been out of the country, or
you just disconnect from TV and social media because you're

(59:09):
trying to state mentally healthy, I understand, but you probably missed.
A young man named Jacob Blake gets shot in his
back several times by the police and Kenosha on Sunday
while he was just trying to get in the car
with his kids. Now, of course, during the protests, there
were riots. Some of the riots escalated in the violence,
and the seventeen year old young man named Kyle Rittenhouse
was arrested after shooting three Kenosha protesters with an ar fifteen.

(59:33):
Two have died. Now, I'm watching this video of Kyle Rittenhouse,
and I am confused. I feel like I'm only seeing
one angle, and I don't know if I'm watching. I
don't know what I'm actually watching on this video, because
I see this kid and he's running and he falls
and it looks like a bunch of people tried to
jump him, someone hit him with a skateboard and he
starts shooting. Now, if a bunch of people are running

(59:55):
after someone with an AR fifteen, then something happened if
you don't don't have a weapon, and you are chasing
someone with a weapon, then you are going off pure
emotion and adrenaline because there's nothing strategic about that. You know,
your uncle Sharla always tells you to move off strategy,
not emotion. So chasing someone with an AAR fifteen and
you don't have a weapon, just a skateboard, that's pure emotion.

(01:00:16):
So clearly something happened that we haven't seen all Right, Now,
this young seventeen year old white man, after the shooting,
after killing two people in wounding one, was allowed to
walk right past the police in Kenosha with his AAR
fifteen and nothing happened. He was able to just leave
the scene with no problems. Oh, to have white privilege
in America is a beautiful thing. White privileges stronger than

(01:00:38):
Starbucks WiFi. Now, as said earlier, Kyle was arrested after
killing two protesters and wounding one. I think he got
arrested the next day. But man, when I tell you
that folks are coming to this young man's defense, listen
to the Chief of Police, Daniel ms. Kinnis discussed the
Kyle writtenhouse situation. Everybody involved was out after the curfew.

(01:00:58):
The curfews in place to protect. Had persons not been
out involved in violation of that, perhaps the situation that
unfolded would not have happened. So the last night, a
seventeen year old individual from Antioch, Illinois was involved in
the use of firearms to resolve whatever conflict was in place.
The result of it was two people are dead. This

(01:01:20):
is not a police action, This is not the action
I believe, but those who set out to do protests.
It is the persons who were involved after the legal time,
involved in illegal activity that brought violence to this community.
Wow Daniels gives me ask you a question. If you
gave your son a curfew and he broke his curfew
and got into a car accident, God forbid, and broke

(01:01:41):
every bone in his body, would you go to the
hospital and tell him this would have never happened if
he hadn't broken his curfew. If you had a daughter
and she broke curfew and she was assaulted, God forbid,
would you tell her this would have never happened if
she didn't break curfew. America. That is the chief of
police in Kenosha. He's in a leadership role. Forget telling

(01:02:05):
the community that they need peace, that there's no need
to bring weapons to protests. You know, if you're protecting
your house, your business, you get it, you understand. But
there's no need to just be out with your weapon
looking for conflict. Forget all that. Okay, forget all that.
It's because they broke curfew. That's why that happened. Now,
you know, and I know that if a black person
fighting against injustice, fighting against police brutality, killed two people,

(01:02:27):
okay and wounded one, Daniel Mskinness would never blame that
on people violating curfew. Okay. Now, Daniel isn't the only
person making any excuses for Kyle Rittenhouse shooting and killing
two protesters. Tucker Carlson also validated what happened. Let's listen,
we do know why it all happened, though, Kenosha has

(01:02:48):
devolved into anarchy because the authorities in charge of the
city abandon that. Troy really surprised that looting an arson
accelerated to murder. How shocked are we that seventeen year
olds with tifles decided they had to maintain order when
no one else would. Wow, interesting hot takes. Okay, Black
people in America, your uncle Charla have been telling you

(01:03:11):
this all right, but I want you to listen and
listen to me. Good When you black in America, owning
a legal keyword legal firearm is a form of self care.
And since people like Tucker Carston feel like authorities abandoning
a community, that sound familiar authorities abandon abandoning a community.
If people like Tucker Carston think that justifies folks bearing

(01:03:33):
arms to maintain order, then let's flex our constitutional rights.
Then if young men like Kyle gonna be out there
with their weapons, then you need to have your legal
firearms as well. Okay, you got guns. We got guns too,
And I want Tucker Carston and Daniel Mskinness to keep
that same energy. Okay, we're not violent thug anarchists. Look
in the cause trouble. We are proud to a supporters

(01:03:56):
who believe in the right to keep and bear arms.
And it is all right American people to possess weapons
for our own defense. So, you know, because it's inevitable
when it happens, it's going to happen when someone fighting
against injustice and police brutality has to take out someone
that's against that, blame it on the people violating curfew.

(01:04:18):
Please okay, Daniel, officer, Daniel, please please blame that on
the people violating curfew. And Tucker, I want to hear
you say, how shocked are we that black people with
rifles decided they had to maintain order in America? After
years and years of unchecked violence from police officers? Can
we get that same energy when it happens? Because it's

(01:04:39):
going to happen, It's inevitable America. Please give Daniel ms Skinness,
the chief of police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the biggest he hall.
A matter of fact, let Chelsea Handler give him a
little he has well heehaw, heehaw. That is way too much.
Dan Mann is all right, I think, well, you think

(01:05:00):
we'll ever get that luxury? Do you think that you
know when the shoe was on the other foot because
it's gonna happen. You think that when when somebody fighting
against police brutality and injustice has to defend himself against
somebody who's on the other side, you think that day
Tucker Carston will say, how shocked are we that black
people with rifles decided they had to maintain order in America?

(01:05:21):
From Typer Carson. Nope, not at all. Alright, all right,
well thank you for that. Donkey to day up next
ask Ye eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

got a house together, we are living together like stuff
like that, and uh, but I need more attention. That's
all I need is more attenive. Okay, So you don't
feel like you get enough attention? So yeah, just because

(01:06:28):
I don't want to go seeking into any attention from
anywhere else, Like you shouldn't even be thinking about that. Now.
When you say more attention, be specific, like what specific
actions do you want her to take? Give us some examples, okay,
So like if I'm walking through the if she walking
through the house, she walked past me, I might grab
her or something like that, like grabb her, grab her

(01:06:49):
her but her ass or something like that. But if
and if we're laying in bed, you like, lay on
my lap and don't even get don't even acknowledge that
I got a peters between I like, so she's come,
she's comfortable. You want her to if she's laying in
your lap, like acknowledge your penis you said, you're saying,
what the hell you want her to grab your butt

(01:07:10):
when you walk past. What I'm trying to say is
I wanted more relace? Yo, I wanted more? Okay, okay,
So let me ask you this. How affectionate are you
when you do those things? If she's laying in your lap?
Are you massaging her? Are you getting her ready? Are

So you're performing or else sex on her and you

what I want. I'm the type of first I showed
what I want an action? Okay, and so does she

(01:07:55):
not do it if you do that, because sometimes you
gotta say things and not just you know. Wait, sometimes
you have to be very communicative. When I say it,
it's like I'm pesterized. Like it's like like she's like
I don't want to do it, Like I don't want Yeah,
you know. Sometimes sometimes people do have different sex drives,
like how often would you say y'all have sex? Maybe?

(01:08:18):
Or it's been like two weeks, so you so you
wanted more than that. And you know, sometimes I think
you gotta get us in the mood too. You have
to do some four play, get us ready having sexes
and just jumping into bed. It's like all throughout the
day we're getting ready, you know, a little sex talk,
cute messages, little nice things you could do in the house. Yeah,

(01:08:40):
I mean that's true. I mean I do stuff like that,
like like candles and cook I'm not know, like because
sometimes I can't stand with my boyfriend just be trying
to just do it and stick in. I'd be like, um,
I need a little bit of warming up. Yeah, I'm
just kind of start that engine up. Yeah, you can't
just you gotta you can't just be sitting there. I'm

(01:09:05):
trying to watch TV. You want, or I'm watching the
TV show. Just wait a minute. But no, I think
sometimes you got you have to make sure I love
nance we watch and we uh we uh we follow
y'all pretty pretty tight. But beyond that, I mean, I'm
happy with my girl. I just got more fans and

(01:09:28):
I'm glad y'all. Let me come on here, Charlottayne. I
just got reading your first book. I'm getting ready to
reach your second book. But anyway, but yeah, I think
you gotta you know, you gotta rev it up. Don't
just try to go in. Don't think just because you
grab her butt when she walks back, now she's ready
to suck it. Like, you have to do more than

(01:09:49):
just that. It's gotta like that, like I'll go up
to her wing cooking or something like that when I
get home for work and I gets on her neck.
You know, like that that was about you. Like I'm
I'm very affective and I showed my affection like a lot,
and you know, I'm gonna be honest, like just showing
affection is great. You showing affection doesn't always mean it

(01:10:11):
has to lead to sex. Sometimes just doing that and
not expecting sex, but just doing that for the take
of feeling affection, and it is great. Sometimes it will
lead to sex, sometimes it won't. But you know, sometimes
you got to really communicate, like, look, I've been missing
you all day and I'm ready to tell me what
you need. Let me just take care of you, let
me please you. And then normally, once you get that started,
that's when it goes down. Let me eat your bookie.

(01:10:34):
See he's married, man Lee Malone, he's not interested in you.
Why would you do that? Position than sorry, he doesn't
want you, say to his wife, No, he doesn't want you.

(01:10:56):
He doesn't want you to eat his bunkie. He's married
in his faith God, he just came over here and
screamed out that he went into each other and then
offer to give you his This is so is No.
What I was telling him was, that's something you can
say to his wife, because Angela was saying that was
good advice and was like, yo, you know, let me
tell you some things I want to do for you.
That's something you can do for her. Let me eat
your bunky. That's not how you specified that you have

(01:11:18):
kind of guy. He said, don't tease him with a
good time. But anyway, ask ye eight hundred five eight
five one on five one if you need relationship advice
or any type of advice. He now was the breakfast
club Good Morning coma kid did some real advice with
anthela Ye ask ye morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

(01:11:38):
Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. But in
the middle of ask yee, Hello, who's this yo? What's up? Brother?
I want to ask you a question, why quick? Go ahead?
I want to say one that called and you gave
me a good movie reference the Platform? Remember that? Oh yes,
you saw the Platform and you enjoyed it. And then
I told that I told you that all I called

(01:12:01):
un Then I moved up here and started businesses and stuff.
But I want to ask you a question right quick,
because I knew y'all ain't got long. When I was
down and out, I was going through a whole bunch
of stuff right and then I decided to take my
family and hit the road. So we came up to
the Maryland Baltimore, and I started two businesses. I have

(01:12:22):
left food bounce bounse houses, and I have two months
and my wife we started together, and then I had
a family member that wanted to come up here and
linger on us. So I was like, where were you?
So now she's mad at me and she don't want
to talk to me no more, and I helped tug
it off her feet. So you're heavy and Charlemagne, y'all

(01:12:46):
got family members, and what do you do in a situation?
Weren't your family wanter talk to you because you don't
want to help the bocknerball Listen. I think that people
have to be appreciative of what you have done for them.
The problem that people have is that you can't even
give and give and then one day you're like no,
and you cut it off so that you can stop
enabling them for them to do what they have to

(01:13:07):
do for themselves, for their own good and also for
your own mental well being, for you to be able
to have your own space and take care of yourself
and your own family. And then they get mad. That's
not on you, that's on them. And so man, you know,
it's so crazy. I just did a podcast on that,
uh this week and talking about you know, people and
family members and friends asking for money, but you gotta

(01:13:29):
do it's best for you, bro, Like you can't feel
guilty and feel like, well, I gotta give them because
they're my family. You know, you got to make sure
your house and everything is secure first. And if you
can't give it, you can't give it. And if they
don't want to talk to you because of that, fel,
that's because y'all plenty of time, plenty of time, okay,
but I tell you, it is ridiculous, and sometimes you

(01:13:51):
just have to say, okay, the lifeline is cut off.
Now I did all I could do. You are not
going to pause suck me dry, okay while I'm trying
get over here and maintain myself. It's a difficult time.
And if you've overextended yourself with somebody and they don't
appreciate it, that's on them. That's a character flaw that
they have. That's not anything that should reflect on you.

(01:14:13):
As long as you know you're a great person and
you've done all you can do and you got to
cut it off, then for your own mental well being,
I'm not going to sacrifice myself so that you can
flourish and then you still don't appreciate it. Yeah you right, hey,
because right now I was listening to the show because
I listened to it morn and I'm outside in my
front yard across the street. I'm fishing right now. It's

(01:14:36):

because that was weird on my mind. And what they said, Hey,
I want to call again, get your little perception on

know what I mean? Because you wear heavy on my
mind because she's all the way down here from off here,
from Florida. Like, she's working and we helped us save

(01:14:59):

to just live with me, live with me for free,
now take care of her baby. You see what I'm saying.
But my wife, I sleep back to this lady every night,
so I don't want to hear that every night. So

(01:17:36):
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on the
Breakfast Club. All right, Well, Messica shocked everybody yesterday when
she posted a video of herself looking like she was
beat up. Eyes read it was makeup though, and she
posted I've been kidnapped. I'm in a warehouse somewhere. I
don't know where. I'm so scared. They took all my
money and they want more. Please help me listen to this.

(01:18:00):
I could be that much time. I could be really bad,
and they're coming. They said that she goes to and
follow me so they can take to many other thing.
Can me okay? Please help to me as It also said,

(01:18:24):
click the link in my bio and subscribe to my
only fans and tip me so they'll let me go.
They're coming. I didn't think I hate it. I thought
she was. I thought she was joking, trying to promote
her only fans. Never. You know what I hate. I
hate human trafficking. And if I'm being honest as a
father three little girls, and the way my anxiety is
set up, that's like a real root of it, and

(01:18:44):
that's just something I don't want to see anybody playing about.
You know what I'm saying. I get it, you're trying
to raise money for the organization, but that was just
poorly executed. It was, I think so anyway, and that
definitely was all right. Well. The next post that she
posted was an explanation and she put follow Roads Organization
now for more info on how to put an end
to child and human sex trafficking. Here's what she said. Hey, guys,

(01:19:05):
now that I got your attention, I wanted to talk
about something very important. I'm sorry we scared you, but
sometimes you need that shock factor. I'm on set right
now feeling for my new show, and this is all
camera makeup. I'm totally fine, guys, but the show that
I am on right now is about child sex trafficking,
and this is a very challenging role for me because

(01:19:30):
this is something that I am very passionate about. Now.
This sparked a lot of controversy and this also Tony
de Rivera was talking about it, and she's been on
The Breakfast Club and she said the organization is not
partnering with Mesica and the board will not be accepting
any donations from only fans. She said in reference to
Mosica doing a scene saying it was from my organization.

(01:19:52):
I think her for the support, but I did not
approve of that video. I will not and my organization
will not be accepting donations from only fans. That video
triggered a lot of people, and people ask me if
I'm partnering with her. No, Rose is mine. It kind
of pissed me off because this is my life's work. Yeah,
certain things you don't play about. I mean, Mossica, I
wouldn't if I'm a Sica, I wouldn't be trying to

(01:20:13):
bring that kind of energy into my life, even if
it's for a good cause. You know. They always say
you turned out to be what you pretend to be,
you know, So I wouldn't bring that kind of energy
in my life. And I don't know her role in
Tony's organization, but can we drop one of clues bombs
for Tony de Rivera because she's really out here doing
the work. Like Angelie said, she's been on the Breakfast
Club before. I think that was last year and I
met I met her back in the day in Columbia,

(01:20:34):
South Carolina when she was caught up in the web
of a sex trafficker. And when I saw her last year,
she reminded me that I gave her thirty dollars and
a half of a subway sandwich and told her she
was better than that, and now look at her. She
got his saving young girl. So salu well. Mosica then
went and posted a letter from the Rose Organization, and

(01:20:54):
Tony Rivera said that was not from her, That's not
their letter. Head and so it was just a lot
of back and forth. But at the end of it all,
Mesica did say that she does still support the organization
even though she's not on the board anymore. I don't
know if they really did ask her, didn't ask her
to be part of the board, but she said she
does support the work that they are doing. Yeah, this

(01:21:17):
all sounds like a big misunderstanding. It just sounds like miscommunication.
It sounds like if Tony and Meska would have just
got on the phone, they could have figured it all out.
But it's like all this back and forth on social
media just causes confusion. But I could see Tony Rivera
being upset about that video. That is a triggering thing.
You can't just post a video like that, absolutely, But

(01:21:38):
car Missey can't tell her that, you know what I mean,
And didn't let MOSCA come out with a statement that
all of y'all have sat down and formulated together. You
Tony Marsia dicing, sleep to Marsia dicing, you know, because
of all ectravity. He was trying to raise money to
help the cause, right, she just did it in the
wrong way. Correct, that's right. But you know what, she
also probably wanted to put that out on social media
because people might have thought it was something that she

(01:21:59):
had came up with and approved of and they worked
on together. So maybe she wanted to specify I didn't
have anything to do with that, and because it was
put out on social media, she wanted to make sure
she stopped it right there, you know. So I don't know,
but um, all right, Jeff Bezos is the world's first
man worth two hundred billion dollars. He is the first

(01:22:20):
person ever to be worth that much. With Amazon's share
price climbing another two point three percent and all of
that now, he's worth more than huge brands like McDonald's, Nike,
and PEPSI ain't got no holes though, what anything? I
don't know. I don't know. I'm just hating, see I see.
That's the crazy, that's that's the that's the inner wounded

(01:22:42):
child in me. You know what I mean? You ain't
got I don't all right. It just sounded like something
I would sounded like something I would say when I
was a kid, when I was hating on somebody. He
ain't got no holes though, Okay, fifty cent his twenty
four seven drama That's durring Ti that's inspired by Notorious Cop,
the inside story of the two Pop Biggie and jam

(01:23:03):
Master Jay investigations from NYPD's first Hip Hop Cop. They
are in final negotiations for that project, so congratulations to them.
Fifty Cent and Ti working together. We saw them going
back and forth, but in reality they're cool with each
other and working together. Yes, salute to fifty and Tip
on that. But I have to say the good brother Mayno.
Mayno had a great idea for the hip Hop Cop

(01:23:26):
show years years years years years ago, so I wish
that was involved in that as well. I mean, that's
what it was about. It was based on the hip
Hop Police here in New York City, so it was
kind of like um with some shows, some cop shows
like CSI and YE, Law and Order and all that.
It was like that, but it was based off the
hip Hop Police, all right. Fifty Cent also has PowerBook
two Ghosts premiering on Star September six. That's really soon,

(01:23:48):
so that's come in. I guess what is that like
next week? And he was doing he was doing Varieties
Entertainment Marketing summit and he said he doesn't care whether
or not people love him or hate him as long
as they care. He said, I'm an entertainer, so to
entertain is to provoke emotion. I don't believe I can
be canceled. He said, you got to go to jail

(01:24:09):
to get canceled. They got to shoot a girl. You
gotta do something extremely bad to be canceled. And I
think it's so unfair to the people that are canceled.
Then he also just talked about heterosexual males and there's
no organization for them. He said, if you say something
about someone who chooses something different, there's organization set up
to start sending things around to get signatures and stuff.

(01:24:31):
And tell me this as a heterosexual male, who's going
to send things around to get signatures based on your failures?
There's no one. There's no organization. Certain demographics have been
conditioned because they've been taking advantage of in the earliest
pant inferior. Now they're superior because we have no organization.
The biggest target is heterosexual males in general. Let's have
a discussion about that, Jamie, because he's not wrong about

(01:24:53):
a lot of the things that he's saying. The problem
with cancel culture is people get canceled for a lack
of education, right, don't cancel me for what I don't know,
Cancel me for what I'm not willing to learn. Like
it's plenty of times, you know, I might be ignorant
to something, so I'll say something. I'll be in a
conversation with somebody and I may not quite get it,
and people will jump all over you for that. But
that's when you're supposed to educate a person, right, not

(01:25:14):
try to cancel them. That's what it's supposed to be.
The part about nobody's here to protect heterosexual men, I
think that heterosexual men, our privilege allows us a lot
of protection here in America. You know what, I'm setting
jumped on the street for being a heterosexual male for
their sexuality. Yeah, yeah, I gotta get what he's trying

(01:25:36):
to say. But our privilege is heterosexual men, is what
you know. We have privilege over women in a lot
of spaces. We have privilege over gay people in a
lot of spaces. So you got to use that privilege
to combat prejudice. So I think our privilege allows us protection.
But if nobody if if what fifty is saying is
true and nobody's here to protect heterosexual men, I'm gay
let me eat your bulky. All right, well I'm Angela. Yean,

(01:25:59):
that is your room report. I guess that's part of it.
Thank you now Rogers for that anthem. I'm coming out

(01:26:44):
you know, Um, he's stepping up. What's hey, what's the
big deal. It's not a big deal. But yeah, well
this is some of the comments to Charlemagne made earlier
in the show let me eat your book. I'm gay.
I love that he did this. Today When now Rogers
was on and we talked about the biggest gay anthem ever.
I'm coming out. That's amazing timing. Listen, context matters. Um,

(01:27:08):
I will sue this radio station and still work here. Okay, Envy,
you're a master at that. Okay, I will sue this
radio station, get paid, and still work. Here's the basis
of your lawsuit. Yes, defamation. Wow, who said it? Not us?
I said that, that's out of context. I didn't say

(01:27:30):
it in that context. And you always talk about my
brown eyes, so this, yeah it fits. You have brown eyes,
two of them, maybe three. You know what, I ain't
messed with y'all. Man. Shout to now Rogers for joining

We all the Breakfast Club now on Charlomagne, you got
a positive note? I do. I saw my homegirl, Shanique
will Golden. She posted this yesterday on Instagram, and I
think it's very sound advice for all black people. Black people,

(01:28:54):
I encourage you to decompress, take a walk, read a book,
open up your Bible, drink some teas, schedule time with
your therapists, take a breath, take a bath, do what
you need to do to care for yourself. In order
to fight another day, you must live to see it.
Breakfast Club. This is you'all finish, or y'all dumb.
