Yo six mm hmm, we're gonna say no, no. You
(01:39):
remember what's that that drake drop that goes six six
six six six. They need to get that drop, right, yeah,
get that drop, drop that in the morning six six
six six six. You know, Um, you know what I
was thinking today, well yesterday, when I woke up this morning,
I should say, you know, today is my son's birthday.
Is Jackson's birthday? Um, he turned six today, And it's
(02:00):
really hard having a celebration at this time. You know,
there's so much going on because there's so much going
on with with people protesting, protests, are still getting beat up,
coronavirus COVID nineteen. Um. He can't see his friends, which
is which is crazy because he doesn't go to school
where I live, so you know, having his friends drive
and do the parade thing, it's kind of difficult. So
(02:21):
celebrating for him and trying to make him have fun,
it's just it, I don't know, it just it just
feels a little funny, you know. No, I think when
it comes to um bone days, you know, I think
when it comes to bond days at a time like
this is when you're supposed to celebrate, because you know,
when you look around and you think about all the
people we did lose the coronavirus, you know what we
think about all the people we do lose, you know,
(02:42):
to police violence. You know, this is the time you
should celebrate the life of those you loved, you love
in a real way. Yeah, anyway, Yeah, and we all
should have a new lease in appreciation on life after
the past few months that we've had in quarantine. Absolutely,
And I feel bad because, like I said, my daughter
just turned seven a day ago. He turned six today,
(03:02):
And it's like, you know, for us as different, we
say we can't go out, we can't wait to get
a haircut, But think about it. You know, they've been
home for fourteen weeks, no friends, no play dates. They
have to study online. And for him it's even worse
because he's in kindergarten, so he's not learning as much
as the first as my first grader or a high schooler,
he's not learning as much. So it's like it's very
(03:24):
difficult for him because he's you know, mom is teaching him.
You know, he doesn't have the interaction with his classmates
and his friends. He doesn't have that break, you know
how sometimes parents say we need that break. He doesn't
have that break where he could just say, you know what,
I want to hang out with my friends. I don't
want to be here. You know. It's just very difficult
when you think about it. You know, well, your kids
are lesson that they have each other, you know they are.
(03:46):
And they also are fortunate that they have an outside
backyard they could play in with the pool and all
of those things. Some people don't even have that. Yeah,
I mean it's difficult for all kids right now, and
not just not just having that, just to have his friends,
just to be able to teach him school and have
take you you know, take your favorite thing to school day,
like all those things that you miss out on soccer
and basketball and baseball and coloring. You know, it's cooler
(04:10):
color with that. But when you know what your friends
is just a lot different. You know. It's the social
interaction that's that's the worst part of the whole quarantine.
The worst part of the whole quarantine has been, you know,
the children and the things that they're missing out on,
the same thing about eleven year old with cheerleading and
not being able to go to her cheerleading competence and
all of that stuff. But the most important thing that
day is your son's born day, and you should celebrate
(04:31):
the life of the person you love and goes for
everybody out there, if it's your born day or somebody
that you know knows born day. You know, think about
all the people that we've lost over the past few
bunchs and just have a new leasing appreciation for life
and celebrate it. Absolutely guilty about that at all. Don't
feel guilty about celebrating your life. Absolutely yeah, I feel
great about the fortunes that you have. To Look, there's
(04:53):
some people here. If you imagine you live in an
apartment building, you don't even have an outside area where
you can just go in the backyard or go in
the front yard or anything like that. There's people here
who live in buildings and then they have to come outside,
and they're nervous to go outside. I was talking to
a kid the other day when I was walking around.
He was probably like seven, and his mom has a
newborn four months old, and they were walking a couple
(05:14):
of blocks to the store and they were like, we
haven't been outside at all because she has a baby.
She didn't really want to go outside, and so this
was kind of like one of their first times even
going outside. Let me tell you how crazy it is,
and it has nothing to do with the money, is
just that they can't go outside the social So yesterday,
you know, of course my son can't have no friends.
So he's into cars. He loves cars. He loves cars
(05:34):
more than his dad, hot wheels. He's into So what
I did was I called on my friends and kind
of did a rally or you know in the block,
in on my block and my cul de Sac. But
they could spin around and he can see the cars
and he was excited. So when when you know, I
brought him down to the end, he thought he was
taking the trash out. He seems he sees these cars
and sees the people. His first reaction was to run,
but run because he's like, it's coronavirus. I can't be
(05:55):
next to the wobody. I'm out. But it was right.
What I was like, I was like, no, said, now
you could they're not gonna come close to you, but
you could look at the car. So he had a
he had a great time. Yes, he had to do
yesterday because it's raining today. But oh man, well anyway,
got a big show today. We have Yvonne or joining us.
Plays Molly. Yeah, she plays Molly on Insecure and she's
(06:17):
got a new special on HBO called Mama made it
very entertaining special and we got the og. Uh. If
I'm not mistaken, I think I'm right on this. The
first African American billionaire, first black billion Yeah this, yeah,
found a bt og. Bob Johnson. He inspires me. He
(06:38):
inspires me a lot because he was able to do
it and with a vision and continue to do it.
He is. I think he might have been the one
the first black majority NBA owners as well. Oh yeah,
I forgot. He's throwing the hornets. Then the thing um.
He introduced a plane because he believes that the America
needs to atone for its original saying, which is slavery,
(07:01):
as do I. And he's asking for fourteen trallion dollars
in reparation. So he'll be here to talk about that.
Don't expect to get a word in Edgewids with oldg
Bob Johnson. He talks. That's fine. We shall listen, okay,
and that is fine. Sometimes you just gotta shut up
and just listen. They know what they talk about. All right, Well,
but we got front page news coming up. What we're
talking about. Yes, we're gonna give you some updates on
(07:23):
what's been happening overnight. Also we'll talk about a mod
Aurbury and some new things that they are saying about
his killing. All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping
lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning, Good morning. Everybody
is DJ Envy angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy we all
the Breakfast Club. Now, let's get in some front page
news when we're starting me, Well, let's start with the
(07:46):
mod Aurbury. A judge has ruled that the cases against
all three defendants charged with murder and the death of
Ourbury can advance to the trial court. They are also
giving new information. They said that Ourbury was reportedly repeatedly
boxed in by two pickup trucks as he desperately tried
to escape. They also said the gunmen also called him
a A I don't even want to say this, a
(08:09):
F A N word as he lay dying and he
was standing over him while that happened. That should be
a premeditated hate crime they are charged with. And this
is a very important reason why people cannot skip jury duty,
especially black people. Okay, because they're going to trial, and
being that they're going to trial, it's going to be
people that are in the jury. We should be a
(08:29):
part of that jury. Yes. So I also I never
understand when they said jury of your peers, because it
shoused to be a jury. Well, you shouldn't have peers,
you know what I mean. But unless I'm thinking of
the word wrong, I thought peers meaning people that you
(08:51):
you know, see, I would I guess right, Yeah, I
guess all right. They said the McMichael's never called nine
one one before they pursued him. They also said that
in his final moments, he was running for his life
to McMichaels and Brian use their trucks to chase down
and box him in, and they repeatedly reversed, He repeatedly
(09:13):
reversed directions, and he ran into a ditch until he
couldn't run anymore. And so, yeah, it's really hard to
discuss and talk about. Imagine that's your child, and that's
the last thing that happened to them. I couldn't even
imagine something like that. All right, and in the next
hour we'll talk about George Floyd and his funeral immemorial
(09:34):
services that took place yesterday. All right, Oh, no hate
crime law in Georgia. He really all right? Get it
off your chess eight hundred five eight five one o

I want to talk about something real quick, because I
don't know it's people notice, because you know everybody's like
you know, so involved into like the protests and everything
that's going on. Uh THEA know, Hillary Clinton has been
in court. Why do y'all keep saying that. I keep
(10:39):
hearing that, Oh no, no, no, no no. Hillary Clinton has
been in court. She was in court on what's today, Friday.
She's been excused on court on Monday and Tuesday testifying
against her emails that they found with Jeffrey Epstein and
child torture and child pedophilia and stuff that she's been
answering for. And like people have been like, you know,
(11:01):
involved with it, as we should be involved with the protest,
but behind the protest, Hillary Clinton has been in court
and answering to this effort just to this Jeffrey Epstein
stuff and like Naomi Campbell's name is all into it
and all the other stuff. She's like really looking. I
don't I don't think she gave an in person uh deposition.
I know that they say they were contemplating asking her
to come testify, but I don't think she's been understand
(11:24):
that would be that would be new everybod No, no, no no, no,
she just no. She look at she was supposed to
go to this virtual test testimony thing where she's supposed
to show for this virtual testimony thing. She made a
story up why she couldn't make him in the virtual

the first time since the middle of March, which is crazy.
I mean, that's great, very weird. I just don't know, man,
what to say about it. It's just on my chicks
and I feel like they're just sitting a little back up,
you know. I don't know. I'd say it was crazy though,
if you you know remember Sylvia Brown. Sylvia Brown, she
wrote that book where she predicted coronavirus in two thy
(14:45):
twenty and she said, she said that um and around
twenty twentieth of vineumonia like illness was spread throughout the globe,
attacking the lungs and the bronco tubes and resisting all
known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illnesses will be
the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as
it arrived, attack a getting ten years later and then
(15:06):
disappear completely. She wrote that in a book back in
two thousand and eight. That s all right, man, you know,
I appreciate that. I just want to I just want

But you know, since the protesting hasn't heard nothing about
corona virus, like what the was going on? Just talking
about that? Yeah, it's really unrual. Well no, somebody called
in talking about it. Oh okay, yeah, because I was

(15:48):
Disney walls and all that, man, you know what I mean,
Like I just had a new balling. I get it.
I get it. Well, first of all, if you could
take a new ball to Disney, well, it's a waste
of money. I'm gonna be honest with you. They ain't

I have my my babies are two months right now,
right and he's thirteen pounds, and you know we've been
seeing them four ounces the formula, but you guys think
(16:54):

or should you know? I think she asked the pediatrician
every so often. Definitely, I think you talked to the pediatrician. Bro.
I know I got five of them. I don't remember. Yes,
it's been a company. I don't remember those numbers. I
don't remember those numbers off the top of in like
(17:16):
two months, so you know how many kids you got?
I know, I know, I just don't remember you got
to talk to the pediatrician. I just know what that
When the baby wouldn't asleep, I just put a little
cereal in there and it just kind of calmed down
a little bit. But I don't remember what month that was. Okay,
all right, well y'all I do appreciate the you know
y'all picking up, man, I have a good one, all right?
(17:36):
Eight five eight five one on five one. If you
need to vent, you can hit us something. Now. We
got rumors on the way. Yes, Drew Brees has made
another apology for his remarks about kneeling and will tell
you what he says. All right, we'll get into that
next keeping locked. This the Breakfast Club, Go Morning, the
Breakfast Club. This is the rumor report with Angela. Well,
(18:03):
yesterday we read you Drew Brees his apology on Instagram.
Father remarks that he said about how he doesn't like
the nailing during the NFL during the NFL games and
how it's disrespectful to the flag. Well now he is
apologizing yet again. Now, he posted on his social media page,
step by step, you will see my heart for exactly
what it is and the way everyone around me sees it.
(18:25):
I'm sorry it has taken this long to act and
to participate in a meaningful way, but I am your
ally in this fight. Here's what he stated. I know
there's not much that I can say that would make
things any better right now, but I just want you
to see my lines. How sorry I am for the
comments that I made yesterday. I know that it hurt
many people. That was never my intention. I wish I
(18:46):
would have laid out what was on my heart in
regards to the George Floyd murder Amad Aubrey, the years
and years of social injustice, police brutality, and the need
for so much reform and change to bring it all
they to our black communities. I am sorry, and I
will do better and I will be part of the solution.
(19:06):
And I am your ally. I am your ally. Is
the new I have black friends. That's what it sounds like, right, Yeah,
that's what it sounds like. I am your allies the
new I have black friends. And I don't think Drew
Brees is racist. I just think that he's, you know,
culturally clueless, that's all. He really didn't understand it. There's
two different Americans out here. Then why did he kneel?
Why did he kneel in the first place with his teammates?
(19:27):
Probably just showing because those are his teammates, that's all.
But if he didn't feel that way, you don't do it.
Just don't do it. The pan to me, if you don't,
if you don't feel that way, you don't do it.
Still don't, still don't. Just a need for the team.
He took one for the team. He took a knee
for the team. That's all, all right. Some of the
biggest names in the NFL, from Patrick Mahomes, Odell Beckham
said Kwan Barkley. They did drop a message now demanding
(19:48):
that the league admit that they wrongly silenced protesters like
Colin Kaepernick. And here's what this video sounds like. It's
been ten days since George Floyd was brutally murdered. A
bit of tubs. We need to ask you to listen
to your players. What will it take for one of
us to be murder about police brutality? What if I
was George? For will not be silence protests? It shouldn't
(20:11):
take this long A little matter. So on, behalf of
the National Football League. This is what we the players
would like to hear. You stay. We National condemn racism
and the systematic oppression of black people. The National Football
You gdmit wrong and silencing our players from peacefully protesting.
National football You believe black lives matter. I wonder what
(20:34):
the league ever admit that. No, I don't think so.
Because they admit that, then they got admit the Colin
Kaepernick thing, and then they got to probably pay more
money than they made that because there's a lot of
players that pretty much have been silence. I haven't been
able to play because they were kneeling right Comardi. What
happens in the future, What can what will the NFL
do in the future? Now? Oh oh, they definitely kneeling
(20:55):
this year ain't even better. Worry about absolutely, players are
definitely taking a needed shit. But you know, I guess
even if the NFL doesn't admit they're on the wrong
side of history, we got yes, we all could see
that you're on the wrong side of history. National Football League. Well,
you know some of Drew Brees's teammates have forgiven him.
You know, they were actually chanting f Drew Brees in
(21:16):
New Orleans and some people actually set his jersey on
fire in the streets also. But Michael Thomas said, one
of my brothers made a public statement yesterday that I
disagreed with. He apologized and I accepted because that's what
we are taught to do as Christians. Now back to
the movement hashtag, George Floyd ab and Kamara said, this
is the reality we live in. This isn't about pinning
black against white, but more so about the narrative that
(21:37):
has created when a black person speaks and when a
white person speaks, pay attention. This is why we protest,
This is why we take a need to be heard
nothing more. One of Drew Brees is wishing he retired
last year. He's forty something years old. One off, he's
wishing men I wished last year. Yeah, well, Malcolm Jenkins
told him to shut the f up. So that was
(21:58):
his response to drop on a clue bump form. Malcolm Jenkins,
very sound advice. All right. Now, Amanda Seals is speaking
out about, you know, leaving the Reel. Now. First thing
she did but shut down the rumors that she's beefing
with Lonnie Love. I saw some reports that they unfollowed
each other, so on and so forth. So here's what
(22:18):
you had to say, just to dispute that. Do not
try to create some false dissension between me and the
co hosts of The Real y'all so corny. There is
a whole pandemic and an uprising going on, and you
still can't find else to do. I did not unfollow,
unfollow Lonnie Love. I haven't unfollowed anybody. Shout out to Jeanie,
(22:40):
Shout out to Tams, Shout out to Lonnie Lines, shout
out to Adrian. What y'all to understand is grown men,
grown women do grown women business. That's what y'all don't understand.
And what I do with my business ain't got nothing
to do with them. Sisters only chill will followed Lonnie Love.
You don't have friends that you never follow? Are people
you know that you never follow? Yes? Yeah, all right? Well,
(23:01):
Lamanda says also expanded more on why she left the
Reil on the exchange rate. It was really honestly shocking
to me to join the cast of the Reel and
see the fans of the show be so adamantly, earnestly
and honestly just derogatorially against my speaking about things that
(23:22):
are happening in front of my face and in front
of theirs too. Well, the reality is that the real
you know, is a show of diverse women that's all
run by white women. I wonder why I saw hawf
for people to believe that she would just walk away
from that situation, Like I got understand its daytime TV,
and I understand it's a check with it. She wasn't happy, yeah,
walk away that she might have other things on the horizon,
(23:42):
like yeah, like you're absolutely right, she's financially secure. And
you know, we had a point with if you don't
want to do it no more, you ain't gotta do it.
She don't want to work with somebody, she ain't gotta
work with that person no more. It is what it is.
You can just say, you know what, I'm leaving it
simple as that, beauteous, listen, go for it. I'm not
mad at it at all. And she has the freedom
to walk away. You know what I'm saying. And what
(24:03):
she said is key is too much mannais at the top.
They put the diverse faces in front, and then it's
the black leadership at the top. So I'm not mad
at her based on that show, right well, I Mandela
yee and that's your rumor report. And as far as
following somebody, I remember Ludacris told me this one time.
The Ludacris is like your envy. You know, I will
never follow you on Instagram. I was like why he said,
(24:25):
this is when I used to do a lot of parties.
He said, because you post too many flyers and I
don't want my timeline. Every time I look, I see
you posting the fly He's like, I just don't follow.
I don't follow people because they're my friend. I follow
them because I find them interest. Right if you if
what you're doing is an interesting I'm not following you
like simple as that. Even even if you're my friend.
Some people are great friends, but horrible instagrams from them.
(24:47):
All right, Well, when we come back, we got front
page news. What we're talking about you he has. Let's
talk about George Floyd and the memorial services that took
place for him yesterday. All right, we'll get into that
next keeping lot. This to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.
Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we

news where were starting? Ye, Well, let's talk about George Floyd.

There were memorial services for him yesterday. The funeral will
actually be held in Houston next week and the other
service will be held in Ray for North Carolina. Now,
yesterday in Minneapolis, there was a memorial service and that
was held at North Central University in downtown Minneapolis. It
was not open was not open to the public, but
it was streamed on CBSN Minnesota. And here is Al Sharpton.
(25:37):
George Floyd's story has been the story of black folks
because ever since four hundred and one years ago, the
reason we could never be who we wanted and dreamed
the being is you kept your knee on our neck.
What happened. The Floyd happens after day in this country
(26:01):
and the education and health services and in every area
of American life. It's time for us to stand up
and George his name and say get your knee all
fine next, pre draft don't sound the same, telling to
rev to preach. That's his job. That's what he supposed
(26:22):
to do with pre draft, dropping the clues bombs for revenue.
I got damn it now, Definitely not at all. George
Floyd's brother, PHILLIESE. Floyd, also spoke, and here's what he
had to say. He was like a general. Every day
he walks outside, it'd be a line of people, like
just like when we came in, wanted to greet him
(26:44):
and wanted to have fun with him. Guys that was
doing drugs, like smokers and homeless people. You couldn't tell
because when you spoke to George, they felt like they
were the president. Because that's how he made you feel.
He was powerful man. He had a way with words.
He could always make you ready to jump and go
all the time. Everybody loved George. That's exactly why I
(27:09):
was telling you earlier via celebrate your son's born. Day
to day man don't feel bad because it's a funeral happened,
happening every day and those people wish they were here
to celebrate. So rest in peace. George Floyd. Absolutely no.
Attorney Bank Cramp, who was the attorney for the Floyd family,
also spoke and said this, George Floyd deserved better than that.
We all deserve better than that. His family deserved better
(27:32):
than that, his children deserve better than that. So when
we fight for the George Floyd's of the world, but
more importantly, when we fight for the unknown, what we
are really doing. It's happening America could live up to
its creed brothers and sisters. What we are doing, It's happened.
(27:55):
America be America for all America reckons. That's real. That
creed does not apply to us. In addition, they also
stood in silence for eight minutes and forty six seconds
as well. That's the amount of time of course that
(28:16):
Derek Shavin's knee was on George Floyd on his neck. Now,
other people in attendance included Reverend Jesse Jackson, Ludicrous, Ti Masterpe,
Will Packard, Tiffany had Is, Kevin hard Tyrese, amongst others.
Why was Tyres dressed like a goddamn black panther. It's
a funeral, Tyrese. It wasn't a protest. Maybe that's just
(28:37):
the way he was, man, Tyres. And you don't know
where he was going to ask the man? Yeah, I
know he was going out here, going on the set
of Goddamn Black Panther part too, that's where he was
going to. Like, it's like, you didn't have to show
up so militant, Tyrese, Like, what was the point of that?
Maybe that's just the way he felt. Bro Let me
text Tyres and as Tyres, I meant to ask him
that yesterday And it was hot as hell in Minnieanapolis
(28:57):
yesterday and he had on a big ass coat, some shades.
Uh what's that thing called? Not an it's a hat,
but it's kind of like a can go It's like
a everybody who was who was there paying their respects
from Angela. Ye, and that is your front page news,
all right, gratulator staries looking like security at the funeral.
(29:21):
That's the way her anything he woke up, that he
woke up and he felt that way. That's all, yes,
all right, that's very true. Now when we come back
Bob Johnson will be joining us, founder of b et
I believe he was the first black owner of a
first majority black owner of NBA team. He then sold
that team with Michael Jordan. Yeah, so we're gonna kick
(29:43):
it with Bob Johnson when we come back to Don't Move.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning.
Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
the building, founder of beet in, first black billionaire, Bob Johnson. Welcome, Hey, thanks,
(30:06):
I'm delighted to be here and welcome to all y'all.
To hope everybody's safe. Now, you just made some noise
because you released the statement calling for the federal government
to pay fourteen trillion dollars in reparations to the descendants
of slaves. I know why that's necessary, But tell the
people why that's necessary. Well, it's necessary for two reasons.
The first and foremost is when you are damaged by
(30:30):
a society for which you have no control over and
which has denied you the fundamental human rights, economic rights,
social rights that they propose to deliver to everybody. You
ask yourself the question, why have I not received those
(30:52):
rights over the two hundred plus years of this nation.
So it's an atonement component to it, basically making you
whole for what they promised you but was never delivered.
The second part of it is that African Americans transferred
a huge amount of wealth to white Americans, which Charlomagne
(31:17):
explains why white Americans have ten times the net worth
in terms of median income of Black Americans. It's because
they were We were denied the wealth that we were promised.
We worked for free displays. They used our free labor
(31:37):
to make investments and grow business. We fought in the
wars seeking opportunity equal to what they had. We come
back home from the wars of World War Two and Vietnam,
we're denied housing, which is the primary factor of economic
wealth for all middle income families. Education had to go
(32:00):
to the court and Brown versus Board of Education to
get education equal. They declared separate and unequal. Is inherently unequal,
and we're denied access to income wealth and as a
result of that, there's a huge wealth gap that unless
it is solved by reparations, which is consistent with what
(32:22):
the world has done further. Jews were given reparations by
the descendants of people who ran Nazi Germany. They recognize
thee for atonement and apology. And finally, if white Americans
could embrace apology the way Black Americans embrace forgiveness, this
(32:47):
country would be far better off. All of you here listened.
Remember Charlottesville. White man goes into a church murders eight
or nine African American church members. The first thing the
church members do when they go in for the sentencing
hearing a victim to our friends of the picture, They
tell the murderer, we forgive you. Also, you'all remember the
(33:12):
thing when the white police officer walked in the wrong
house kill the black man thinking he's in her house.
The first thing his brother does is asked to judge
if he could go over and hug the killer of
his brother. So we are forgiving people. White America should
match us in forgiveness and match us in reimbursement for
(33:37):
damages that they caused us, for which we had no
part in for over two hundred years. We have the
money to do it, because already we're doing it White Americans.
If you go to a group of white Americans today
and say, should we help you with foodstamps? Check your box?
Of course we'll help you. Will we help you with
(34:00):
Section eight low income housing, Yes we'll do that. We
will check you with welfare program, of course we'll do that.
But when you ask them to give you cash to
make you equal in a capitalist society, which is the
defining factor of wealth and equality in a capitalist society
(34:20):
is access to wealth, they will say there's something wrong
with giving your money, because that was two hundred years ago,
my friends that Biden said, and I quote, I'll be
damned if I will give anyone any money for something
I didn't cause. So it's time for African americanists understand.
(34:42):
You are old that as much as the Jews were
old that. And so when white Americans or even some
Black Americans say, you're overreaching, how do we overreach when
we are entitled to damages to make us whold. Don't
give us programs, don't give us welfare, don't give us
(35:04):
food stamp. Give us the money. We will invest it
and manage it and grow our people in our communities, ourselves.
How do you think the money should come. Do you
think it should be each individual family? Do you think
it should be somebody who invests the money for us.
If you had a choice, how would that money come
to the people. I finally believe that every African American
(35:25):
was a descendant of slaves, regardless of their income, regardless
of their position, is entitled to reparation. Collect it from taxpayers.
And we've done that. We take taxpayer money to pay
food stands, we take taxpayers money to the welfare, we
take taxpayers money to do give low income housing. Then
(35:50):
the way we arrived at the fourteen trillion simply this,
This is how much net worth and wealth white Americans has.
This is what black American has. Bring us up to
your level and wealth. And that will cost you, depending
on what you do it over ten years, twenty or
thirty years, a certain amount of dollar amount. Let me
ask your question, O G Bob, do you do you
(36:12):
think money could change a system? Though? Because we're trying
to dismantle this system of white supremacy, and I want
reparations for slavery as well. But would it be better
serve going towards like education, healthcare, housing, or loans and
grants for small businesses? Or should everyone just get a
love sum of money? Hey guy, let me ask you
a question. If you had all the money that you want,
(36:35):
would you be concerned about educating your kids if you
have all if you want, no, because you would know
you have the confidence of access to wealth, control of wealth.
That's the difference. This is a capitalistic society. You gotta
start there. What is the fundamental measure of wealth and power.
(37:00):
It's access to capital. So if these riots or protests
or violence you see, they don't happen to people who
have wealth. Think about this. Do you know Er Gardner,
Michael Brown, and George Floyd died over a dispute of
(37:22):
approximately forty dollars. Take those back, man, put them another situation.
A great job, great age, our opportunity, savings in the
stock market. Why steal cigareillas when you got in your
pocket two hundred dollars? Why sell lucies when you got
in your pocket five hundred dollars? Why allegedly delivered or
a counterfeit check or a dollar or a twenty dollars
(37:44):
bill and you got four hundred dollars in your pocket.
That's what wealth does. It gives you confident, but it
doesn't make a racist not racist thought. Now that's a
that's a whole enough problem. That doesn't mean you don't
get the money you're gonna if you're gonna deal with
that problem. Malcolm X said it very clearly. He said,
what do you call a black man with a million dollars?
(38:05):
Martin Luther King said the limper and said, you can't
legislate morality, but you can regulate behavior. So my point
is you gotta start someplace, and I start with what
White America values more than anything else, and that access
and control of wealth. All right, we got more with
(38:27):
Bob Johnson when we come back, don't move. It's the
breakfast club commuting morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee,
Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. We're still
kicking it with Bob Johnson. So is it best to
as a community and said, you know what, since money
is the power, we say, you know what, We're gonna
hold our money and not spend it with these corporations.
(38:49):
If the black community spends billions of dollars a year
on goods, that's not going back in our community. He said,
you know what, we're gonna stop. Well, that hurt him
in the pocket. Will that make him you know opening eye.
The way you look at the economic wealth is you
have to control it. And you're absolutely right. But the
(39:09):
answer to that question is this, and I often quote
this song, my favorite song about how we deal with
the situation we had. It's a Bob Marley tune called
Redemption Song. The line that I always quote a Redemption
song is this, emancipate yourself from mental slavery. Only ourselves
(39:31):
can change our minds. Black Americans have to emancipate themselves
from mental slavery that we cannot do for ourselves. And
once we started doing that, answers right because if reparations
were issue today and over thirty years, he gave black
(39:53):
people fourteen tradion dollars. Most of that money unfortunately or
fort me, depending how you look at it, we'll go
right back into your white consumer community that they spend
it all bet to build their own society. It's a
mental thing we've got. I mean, we've got to do things.
For example, we have no causes today, they're only there's
(40:18):
only two causes. One cause that I can really say,
and that is Black lives matter. So here's why I say,
we have to begin to change our mental attitude towards
who we are for example, and god, you know this,
we nine vote in the Democratic Party. But they say
(40:43):
it's the lesser of two evils. Now, when you get
in a position where you are taking the lesser of
two evils, by sheer definition, you are taking the lesser.
Why do we have to take the lesser? Why don't
we take the better? And to me, the better could
be come up with a cause that says black lives
matter is our call, reparations is our call. And going
(41:08):
back to it, what the Congressional Black Caucus was founded.
What about the old sixteen or twenty members in nineteen
seventy two, this is what their philosophy was. Black Americans
should have no permanent friends, no permanent enemy, permanent interests interest.
(41:29):
We should form our own what I call PIP permanent
interests party. Say to the Democrats, you want our vote.
Here's what we want. We want reparations, we want fundamental
implementation of all the policies of Black Lives Matter. What
are they gonna say, Well, we're not gonna do it.
(41:51):
If I had said that down in South Carolina, he
wouldn't be nowhere near being the president. That's what we
have to do. We have to take control of our destiny.
And that's why I VP. Biden had enough nerve. If
you call it to say and on your show, you
ain't black unless you vote for me. How could you
(42:11):
ever conceive of somebody saying to somebody's weight, you ain't
white unless you vote for me. That would never enter
their brain. But they'll do it with us because we
have become chattel to them. What do you think would
happen if approach Donald Trump with these same demands to
(42:33):
get power and control power. The first thing you gotta
do is show power. We become the power brokers in America.
We're forty million strong, growing faster. We a his fanily
is growing faster than the white population. Ten fifteen years
from now, the majority of Americans, based on demographic growth,
(42:58):
will be minority. So if we don't take the mantle
and become the dominant, influential minority and a power broke
of power balanced sense, I can assure you the Hispanic
vote will be They will vote as a block. They
don't vote as to block the way we do. So
I would say that to President Trump, President Trump, you
(43:20):
want to contest for our votes. Here is our demand
stand up to him and we can talk. President Obama said,
young people should challenge the political authority, and the political authority,
to me, has challenged the black leadership that is somewhat old,
(43:41):
somewhat morbun and their ability to confront the Democratic Party.
I can tell you this. I worked on Capitol Hill
as a press secretary, and I know this. There's some
sixty three, sixty plus members of the Black Caucus. The
Black Caucus, if they wanted to could control Matthew polosity.
(44:01):
All they got to say is you will never pass
a bill as a Democratic Party without our approval. We
have come at a time and appeared in history where
we have more power than we ever had because this
country is a two party system. They can't win without it.
(44:23):
But if you keep given all of our vote to
one party, we are diluting our political power. That's a
simple fact. And they know it. And I tell you
when I was running d et and I'd asked the
Democratic Party to put some money in b Et to
turn out the Black vote. Is what I did from
(44:45):
the campaign about it. They say, Pop, look, we got
your vote, you know, worry about your vote. We need
to be in these districts where the white boat can
move one way or the other. In other words, take
us for granted, you ain't black, and lets you vote
for me. Take us for granted. No, we ain't gonna
give you any cash money, but we'll give your program.
(45:08):
I don't understand why have we let that happen when
we just in the past two elections we're leading up
to this one. You put a black man in the
white atoms power. We now put a white man in
the nominations to be in power. And for some reason
(45:29):
you don't recognize the power equations that you have, and
you just sit there and say, if they want to
go this way, and that's where we're gonna go. You
skip twenty sixteen and twenty sixteen. Four point four million
voters who voted in twenty twelve stayed home in twenty sixteen,
and a third of them were black. And in the midterms,
black women I think accounting for like more than fifty
(45:52):
five percent of the votes in some places. Yeah, you're right,
the only reason, the only reason, and Hillary, the more
women vote. What's it called the black women? All right?
We got more with Bob Johnson when we come back.
Is the breakfast club comonit morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Angela g. Charlomagne. The guy we are the Breakfast club
(46:13):
was still kicking it with Bob Johnson, you know, founder
of v ET, the first black billionaire. Now when you're
here to turn black lives matter, what does that movement
mean to you? Black lives matter for me is far
beyond just keeping Unson being killed by the police. It's
that we have standing in society and give us I do.
(46:35):
The people who made the money off as slavery became
the future bankers, the future railroad owners, the future TV
media owner because they got that wealth of land and
property transferred to them over time. We didn't have that.
(46:56):
So that's why some of these universities are saying they
gotta make reparations to black spots at university because their
founders financed the slave ships. All of that was what
America created. The revered Thomas Jefferson never sold a slave.
(47:18):
Native American Indians were wiped out under manifest destiny because
we owned that land. That is America's legacy. And so
what to me is atonement America. What is your fear
of nothing? Black people in the eye and say, my brother,
(47:38):
we want to give you over thirty years, eleven thousand
dollars a year to atone to police. You know what
black people would do, They would call a Hallelujah course
to say we forgive white America. The great President Mandela
when he was out of prisoner Robin Island, one of
(47:59):
the first people he invited to be it is inauguration
was the jailer who controlled him on Robin dying. That
is the forgiveness of people of color. But you ask
quite American. You asked Mitch McConnell. Oh, I don't know
how to do this. I can't figure out this. I
didn't do it. Then you ask Joe Biden. I'll be
(48:19):
damned if I'm gonna give anything. You ask some of
these black folks that, oh, I'm scared to talk about
reparations because the white folk will get upset and they'll
vote against us, and that we lose the election. I'm saying,
young black vote, old black vote. You will always be,
each of novels the unequal in this society unless you
(48:40):
attained well compatible equal to the majority of quite Americans. Okay.
The final thing I'm gonna say this, when I used
to talk about this, the Pew Research Firm, which is
a big firm that does a lot of research on social, economic,
enemy and political issues. They stated this, and this is
(49:02):
something I think every black person, every white person should understand.
The children of Black Americans whose families were solidly, solidly
middle class in the sixties and seventies will never attain
the wealth of their parents. Now think about that. If
(49:24):
you will never attain the wealth of your parents and
your parents are already ten times behind white American families
and parents, tell me where you will be in twenty years.
And all we get from everybody, from business leaders and
politicians is and we got to bring unity this country.
(49:47):
We got to focus on issues. I mean, I'm listening
to the people in Maniapoletes say we're going to have
a civil rights investigation of the police force in Maniapoletes
over the past ten years. I ask all of you
got sit here who over the past ten years have
been running the police force, and many asking you're saying,
white people now want to investigate white people the police.
(50:08):
The police in many cases are tools for scapegoating of
the white leadership class that control the police. They say
to you, it's your problem, Well, you hired me. You
set the training problems. You termed out how much I
got paid, you gave me my assignment, and now you're
(50:30):
saying I did something wrong or no, that's the police,
fat though the police. The police go overboard with the
chokehold and the brutality, so they bring a lot of
that on themselves. Like I don't like a lot of
the policemen going to the situation scared, pull out guns
when they don't have to use for they don't have to.
I understand that, but but police are hired, trained, paid
(50:54):
for by a capitalistic system to say, your job is
protect property rights of the society. That is what they do.
So yeah, you can, you can win indivisible. He said.
Everybody's possible for themselves. But I'm talking about in a
systemic way overall. You tell me that's that's like saying,
(51:16):
you know, we got people who are bad in and
of themselves. We got once they put that uniform on,
something changes in there and natural that uniform and some
other things. You get this uniform on, here are your
requirement to wear that uniform. And I feel, imagine I
feel a fowed for them, some of them because they
(51:38):
don't know what to do. All they know is this.
Our job is when I'm walking on the street and
I see somebody who look like they're black or are
black in the neighborhood, my immediate instinct is they shouldn't
be here. I mean, I can tell you person and
every black person you talk to can tell you personally
(52:01):
situations where a black man is someplace where either white
people say they're in that position because they're black, or
they're in this position and their black end they shouldn't
be there. I can say it right now. I have
been in some of the best restaurants in LA, best
restaurants in DC, and I'm out there waiting on mont Car,
(52:24):
beautiful Jaguar ferad whatever I have at the time. Okay,
well I know where this is. Going out of the
white cap or get out of their car. I'm sitting
there waiting on mont Car. They come up to me
and they hand me their keys and think the valet, Absolutely,
you got it. We gotta change the mindset. We gotta
change the mindset all across the board, because even with
(52:45):
what you just say, even if you got the wealth,
people still view you a certain way because of your
skin color. Absolutely, Malcolm had said it better than I could.
You know what, it's all a black man when a
manion dollars that, I'm gonna I want to let you
go up with you one more handy door. I'm gonna
let you know. Okay. So my daughter is the question.
(53:06):
She rides horses and so very expency to being a question.
So I had a you know, farm in Virginia, and
one day I decided I would go down and ride horses.
I was two hundred plus acre farm, you know, horses.
I walked in and there's this white guy who is
(53:27):
there to do something to the plumbing system. The white
guy who's the plumber, looks at me and walked in
and said, hey, now I own the farm. He listened
me in and said, hey, if you hear the mob,
you better hurry up because I'm geting ready to shut
off the water to fix the plumber. Damn. So what
(53:47):
I did, I said, now, I don't think about mom today.
I think I'm gonna go get on the horses. So
all of a sudden he looked at me and said,
oh my god, they're gonna ride the bosses horses, And
the horses lipped at him and said, oh, you're talking
to the ball. So the point I'm trying to make
(54:09):
is just, guys, look, you are not gonna change racism
at all. But that does not have anything to do
with you're not getting paid for pad damnag to your people.
That's the thing I made and the only way we
can build our own system. We can build our own
system with the money. Once you's got the money, it's
(54:32):
it's up to you. Now. If you end up getting
it all back t then that's that's all up. But
give us what we are. That's absolutely the only thing
I can say. Well, thank you so much for America. Man,
we appreciate you. Brother. Yes, America has to attone for
his sins of the past, especially slavery and Bob don't
forget to leave that house housing aguilla for me in
(54:54):
your will. Okay, that house you got an aguilla lead
that for me? Why are you killing him? I'm already yeah.
Why you let him go like that? That? Kids, I
didn't say, I didn't kill him off. Yeah, when you
get reparation, if you go buy your own here you go,
keep keep fighting Charlotah. That's right, goodn't it's crazy show?
All right? Thank you so much. I'm hoping to see
(55:15):
you Sunday though, Yeah, Sunday, We're gonna do the virtual
town hall on Sunday with um Og, Bob Johnson and
a few other great black voices. So yeah, we're gonna
do it that Sunday. Thank you, brother, appreciate you for
checking in. Basically, Breakfast Club, good morning. It's about the
(55:36):
U report with Angela Yee fund the Breakfast Club. Well,
so far, Kanye West has donated two million dollars and
that is to set up a fund for George Floyd's daughter.
So what he's doing is setting up a college savings
fund for her to fully cover her tuition. And he
also has made a separate donation to cover the legal
(55:57):
costs for the Ibery and Taylor families. And then he's
also donating to separate black owned businesses in his hometown
of Chicago. So he did join protesters in Chicago yesterday
with the Chicago Public School students to protest the killings
of George Floyd as well as to demand that Chicago
Public Schools cancel their contract with the Chicago Police Department.
That was dope. I want to for Kanye West, and
(56:19):
I've seen a lot of people say a lot of
people upset with them, and I'm like, well, how could
you be upset that the man donated two million, he
set up college funds, he's paying for attorney's like, he's
doing He's doing what he's supposed to be doing. I
know it's credited. A lot of that be jealousy and envy,
you know what I mean. And the reason I say
it'd be jealousy and envy because people looking, they're like, damn,
he got two million dollars to donate, he got money
(56:40):
to set up another person's trust fund. A lot of
people really be jealous and envious of other people, and
instead of just celebrating what they did and saluting them,
they gotta hate well absolute them. Well, I think some
people also don't like certain things that Kanye has said
and his support of Donald Trump. Also, truthfully, they got
to do it this though, saying that's nothing to do
(57:01):
with the we can say that, yes, but he did
yesterday was positive. But I'm just trying to explain why
some people have been off of Kanye. Yeah. But yeah,
in fact that to talk about this one issue that
what he did for George stepped up. Yeah, all right. Now,
jay Z has also led him out. Aurbury's lawyer use
his private jet to make his court hearing, s Lee Merritt.
(57:22):
So that's a civil rights attorney. He's been on the
Breakfast Club who was representing at Aarbury's family. He was
supposed to be at a preliminary hearing, but they had
to make sure that he would make it on time.
So jay Z was courteous enough to send his private
jet to get him there, and he posted, when you
absolutely have to be in court to stand with your
client and righteous protesters for justice, jay Z sends his
private jet. That's part of the PPE plan to get
(57:44):
us out of this crisis. People power, political power, economic power.
Z because of his relationship with the NFL, because Beyonce
made a lemonade album about him. If people get me, no,
I didn't hear that about that, not yet, but now
that you said, Dad, I think people might. Well yeah,
I mean, look, jay z reragnation has been putting in
the work. People definitely were mad at jay Z about
(58:06):
the NFL, But you know, I think if jay Z
was like, hey, everybody vote for Trump, you know, and
slavery was a choice, people probably might be mad about that.
That has nothing to do with the good deed he
did for lee marriage yesterday, and that's a hell about
hypothetically you just read for you. But I'm saying, do
you think that I'm just I'm listening. I'm just saying
(58:26):
I understand what people are mad about. I'm not saying
they should be mad, but I'm explaining it. You know,
that's like saying, say Donald Trump donated money, would we
be like, okay, you think people would just embrace that
if he did something positive and not talking about credit.
You give him credit for that one good deed and
you keep it moving. I mean, people, I'm just telling
(58:48):
you how people feel. People still feel away that the
fact that you know, a cop killed murdered it o
man and he feels away, even though he says he
might be thinking when he's voting, he might be thinking
with his paycheck. But the fact that he donated that
two million dollars and set that family up and helping
those family fight the cause. I appreciate that. Same with
Floyd Mayweather. The fact that Floyd Mayweather, yes, says some
(59:09):
crazy stuff about all he's you know, supporting of Trump,
but he paid for the funeral. I think that's a
great thing. But I can't tell people what to be
mad and not mad about. Well, it's not about the celebrities.
It's about the family. The family got blessed. Be happy
for the family, all right. Ellen DeGeneres is vowing to
stop being the dancing Lady in order to educate, and
(59:29):
that's because she's been criticized for not stepping up fast enough.
And here's what she said. I think right now, white
people have to just sit in our discomfort. We have
to admit that there's a lot we don't know about
black people's lives and about a black person's experience, and
there's horrible injustice towards black people that has been ignored
(59:50):
for far too long. I've tried to use my platform
to raise awareness on different issues over the years. I
like to think that I'm doing my best. But I
think it's time that we have to look at our
shelves and we have to say we have not done enough.
I want to learn how to be a better person,
how to do better. I was the dancing Lady for
a little while, and now I want to help educate
my audience. I want to educate myself. So she was
(01:00:12):
criticized for her initial remarks about Black Lives Matter movement,
and she had tweeted out for things to change, things
must change. And then she later posted a video on
Instagram talking about her devastation and anger over recent events.
And she didn't immediately comment, she said, because she didn't
know what to say. So now that she donated a
(01:00:33):
bunch of money and stuff too to George like different causes, right,
I don't know what she donated, Yeah she did, she
did for this. But our people are gonna be mad
at Ellen because of the comments she made a couple
months ago about you know, if you're in quarantine, it's
like being in jail. People got you got to be consistent, man. Well,
I think the reason why Ellen Degenerous actually donated is
(01:00:55):
because of a lot of the criticism that she was getting.
So and that's why she had to spinned and say
that the reason why she didn't do anything was because
she didn't know what to say. And she did delete
her tweet for things to change, things must change, just
because of the back last she got from that. All right,
I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report, all right,
thank you, miss ye. Now, Charlemagne, who are you giving
that donkey too? We need Laura Ingram to come to
(01:01:17):
the front of the congregation. We would like to have
a word with her place. All right, we'll get into
that next Keep a lot this to breakfast club. Good morning,
It's time for Donkey of the Day. Chagne. I'm a Democrat,
so being Donkey of the day a little bit of
a mix like bitches. Now. I've been called a lot
(01:01:42):
of my twenty three years, but Donkey of the Day
is a new wife. Donkey of to Day for Friday,
June fifth, goes the Fox News host Laura Ingram. Today's
word of the day is contradiction. What is the contradiction?
A combination of statements ideas are features of a situation
that are opposed to one another. Not to be confused
with changing your mind. There's absolutely nothing wrong with changing
(01:02:04):
your mind, but you have to acknowledge that change of mind,
especially when you were so strong in a position like
Laura Ingram was. Okay, Do we all recall when Carrie
Champion dropped on the clues bombs we carry Champion? Do
we all recall when Carrie had the web series Rolling
Went the Champion Uninterrupted. On one of those episodes, she
had Kevin Durant and Lebron James and they were riding
(01:02:24):
around Lebron's hometown of Akron, Ohio, and Carrie asked Lebron
about a tweet where he referred to Donald Trump, the
celebrity in chief, as a bump. Remember this, We cannot
deny that we are very divided, especially in the political arena. Yeah,
for sure, Lebron, you call the president of bumb Yeah,
straight up. How do you describe the climate for an
(01:02:46):
athlete with a platform nowadays that want to talk about
what's happening in our world, Well, the climate is hot.
The number one job in America the point of person
is someone who doesn't understand the people and really don't
give about the people. Now, Lebron is the taxpaying American citizen.
He has the right to criticize the president because the
president works for him. Period. Pooh, but Laura Ingram didn't
(01:03:10):
think so. Laura Ingram disagreed. Okay, this is what she
had to say about Lebron's comments on Donald Trump. Let's
hear it. It's always unwise to seek political advice from
someone who gets paid one hundred million dollars a year
to bounce a ball. Oh and Lebron and Kevin, you're
great players, but no one voted for you. Millions elected
Trump to be their coach. So keep the political commentary
(01:03:34):
to yourself. Or as someone once said, shut up and dribble.
Shut up and dribble. She was strong about that, right. Well,
let's turn to Drew Brees. Drew Brees made some comments
this week that rube people the wrong way because he
is blinded by his privilege, so he doesn't see the
other side of America that you see when you're black.
And he's one of those folks who still thinks, you know,
(01:03:55):
people are taking a knee simply because we are being unpatriotic.
Let's hear what he had to say. I will never
agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States
of America. Let me just tell you what I feel
when the national anthem is played, and when I look
at the flag of the United States, I envision my
two grandfathers who fought for this country during World War Two?
(01:04:17):
And is everything right with our country right now? No,
we still have a long way to go. But I
think what you do by standing there and showing respect
to the flag with your hand over your heart, is
it shows unity, It shows that we are all in
this together, we can all do better, and then we
are all part of the solution. Now, if you want
to hear my thoughts on that, go to Breakfast Club's
YouTube page Breakfast Club Pole one oh five one and
(01:04:39):
listen to yesterday's Donkey at a Day. But just for
the record, the reason so many black people who have
a problem with patriotism is because how can we salute
a country that denies us justice and has been brutalizing
us for hundreds of years? Okay, black people fought in
no same world wars and fought for this country when
this country was denying US civil rights period. Boo. Now,
(01:05:00):
based off Laura Ingram's comments, you would think that she
would want Drew Brees to shut up and throw You
would think Laura Ingram would want Drew Brees to shut
up and stand behind a man while he's bent over
and Drew has his hand between his legs. Okay, but
no Laura singing a new tune when it comes to
Drew Brees. Let's listen. Well, he's allowed to have his
(01:05:22):
view about what kneeling and the flag means to him.
I mean, he's a person, he has some worth, I
would imagine. I mean, this is beyond football though. This
is totalitariantalitarian conduct. This is stalinist. And by the way,
on the streets of New Orleans, we're looking at live pictures,
they're shouting f through breeze. That's what's this moment has
(01:05:47):
done to the beautiful teams spirit of the New Orleans.
This is a contradiction, a combination of statements. Ideas are
features of a situation that are opposed to one another. Okay, Laura,
this is ridiculously racist, so blatantly bigoted, so predictably prejudiced. Okay.
This is why it's a waste of time to have
conversations with people like Laura Ingram. People like Laura Ingram
(01:06:10):
are committed to misunderstanding you for ratings, okay, and by you,
I mean us black people. When it comes to lebron
it's shut up in dribble. When it comes to Drew Brees's,
he has the right to his opinion. When it comes
to politics, well, of course, Laura Ingram decided to go
on TV and explain to the world why she eats
mayonnaise out of a jar with a spoon. Listen to
(01:06:32):
this colonizer explain her contradiction. Now, my defense of Breeze
led to an online course of people comparing those comments
to previous comments I had made to Lebron James, without
dwelling on the nuance between the two instances. Let me
be very clear about what I believe. We are all
children of God, regardless of our racial or political differences,
(01:06:52):
and therefore must be treated equally. Every American it has
a god given right to speak his or her own
mind on any issue. And I think in order to
heal and shed light on gross injustices, our country needs
more dialogue, not less, and we need more respect, not retribution. Now,
we're all human beings, and we're on this earth for
(01:07:15):
a very short period of time when you think about it,
and this is a moment when we should be listening
and learning. We are all children of God, yes, and
some of us are children of Yaku. Okay. This is
proof that when you are possessed by evil spirits, it
is crafty manipulations that you follow, but when you are
possessed by the real holy Spirit of God, it is
(01:07:35):
wise discretions you pursue. Laura could have felt the way
she feels now about Lebron because clearly she understands people
should have their own opinion and they have the right
to their opinion. But she chose not to because he's black.
She chose not to because he criticized her president. Okay,
the reason she sides with Drew Brees is because she
feels the same way he does. Never mind the black
(01:07:57):
men and women getting killed every day at the hands
of the poem, least respect that flag. Can't even be upset. Okay,
I can't even be upset that, Laura. Do what you will, Laura,
because America's creed as we know it, that whole freedom, justice,
equality thing when it comes to black people, all fiction
and to be a black person in America is a
contradiction because all those values you stand on and hold
(01:08:19):
up for everybody else when it comes to you and
yours doesn't apply to me and mine. Please let Chelsea
Handler give Laura Ingram of Fox News the biggest he
haw he haw he haw. That is way too much.
Dan Mayne is all right, well, thank you for that,
don kid today well deserved. All right, when we come back,
Yvonne Orgy will be joining us. He has a specialistic
(01:08:41):
out what's the name of the special years. Mama made it, Mama,
I'm made it a right. So we're gonna kick it
with Yvonne Orgy when we come back, So don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club wanting
everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We
all the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on
(01:09:03):
the line right now, and a friend to the room
even or g welcome. What's going on? How y'all doing?
Good morning? A friend to the room, but not a
not a friend to Issa anymore, apparently on Insecure, not
in real life, but on Insecure right off the bad
(01:09:23):
That's why I was starting to stop. Okay, I was
tired at you, I was tired at Molly. I was like, now,
I'm not gonna lie because like I understood you being
mad because Issa did some really messed up things in
your friendship. Why do you keep telling you they really?
I just wanted before we get into the special, because
(01:09:44):
I was weighing on my soul, you know, as somebody
who is very heavy on my friendships, I just don't
think the appropriate time to ambush somebody about your friendship
problems is right after a major event that they just
pulled off. Why don't you acting like you're talking to
Molly she's your him. I feel like a was about
to post up, like do something that little I'm nervous,
(01:10:07):
y'all Severn clocks on the under underweb coas I haven't
even gotten my morning prayer and I have the praise
to my husband yet. You know what I'm saying. I
got about the vote for those but Anela, Antela, you
need to tell me it's eight billion people out of
the world. Your friend tells you just don't talk to
this one person, and you can't go. You can't find
(01:10:28):
nobody else to help you, because then one of my
to you, I'm your I'm your close. Yeah, your best
friend be able to ask your best friend, and then
your best friend should be able to ask her man
and guess what he did it anyway, Molly invited you
over for pie. Oh you let ill come over and
have some pie. I'm thank you. Then we could have
talked about it. We're gonna hash it out and we
could have been cool. But you know, escamation market. Yeah,
(01:10:51):
I'm period. How do How do you feel about Molly's
character this season? I almost feel happy that you want
quarantine because I feel like if you was in the streets,
you'd be get a lot more angel energy from a
lot of people. No, you know, real talk. Really, I'm
not I can't even front. I'm so glad I'm in
therapy by Dad though, like as an actual human being.
Because these tweets got me like, let me let me
(01:11:13):
start over. I was like, yo, y'all, y'all gotta figuring
this out, like is it And I don't know that
it gets better from my I don't know, but uh yeah, No,
they're coming out with like, for real, shots fired like
one person last week, you know, in the middle of
everything that that was happening, I was just I'm tweeting
(01:11:35):
what's actually happened. When people were watching, somebody was like
not to bad Evon. I'm like, so I'm looking like dude,
I'm just a member is East and presses to everybody
else they tweeting, they were like, we're watching in silence today.
(01:11:57):
I'm like, hold on, old what about to y'all? Now,
let's talk about your special? You know we're all seeing
your special cood old Man. The special was hilarious, very
well done, very well. I actually came and came backstage
to see you because I was so impressed when I
sell You Live and this stand up special was everything.
So I forgave Molly and I love Van well. I
(01:12:21):
appreciate that. I'm hoping, you know, I'm getting it's a lot.
It's really a lot going on outside, and I'm hoping
that by Saturday people will need sixty five minutes and
just laughter to just to take their mind off of
the crazy that's happening. So how was going back home
people seeing you where you're from, where you when you
grew up in your village. How was that? Yo? That
(01:12:43):
was that was real? Live? It was? It was so much.
It's a moment of fulfillment because you know, I'm going
with the mic so I can say whatever. But given
my parents an opportunity to be like, let we have
some things to say as well. We want to see
you know like that, that was a beautiful moment of
them to like kind of air their grievances, put out
(01:13:05):
their hopes or whatever. I think my favorite moments were
when they were getting interviewed and they would stop talking
and just be like a moment of silence, and I'm like,
it was that moment just passed with so much because
I know, you know, my my parents are thinking, we
just really didn't know. We didn't know what, you know,
like taking so much? Was it intentional to separate Vaughan
from Molly by showing them how different Yvaughne is from Molly.
(01:13:29):
I was thinking about Molly when I was shooting the special.
I was this was this is fourteen years in the
making for me, you know what I mean. I started
comedy in two thousand and six, So this is who
I was before y'all found me as Molly. And so
what it was was for me to like, please allow
me to reintroduce myself, to call me why oh you
know what I'm saying, Like I'm trying to show y'all.
It's almost kind of like for me, it's not one
(01:13:51):
of those things where you know, when somebody gets a
little shot and get a platform and there and after
and it's like, you know what, I want to try
this comedy. It's like, not hop I've been doing this,
You've been doing now. There's a lot of things that
you talked about that I could relate to, like being
broken going on a date, you know, because you need
to eat and I've talked about that extensively from when
I was younger. When you like, man, looks like I'm
(01:14:13):
gonna have to go on that date. I ain't really
want to go on with that person I didn't really
like because I am hungry. I remember the one date
that I was like, it's not even worth it. I'll
just starved. I remember going you say with this dude.
It was bad from the It was bad from like
minutes five, and I was like, how hungry are you?
(01:14:34):
Didn't get better and at the end of the night,
I thought it was definitely going to be one of
those well you know, bye blest and goodbye. Here he goes.
He's like, so you know you want to do this again.
I'm like, I don't know what makes that day bad though,
Like what's bombing? What made it bad? Uh? He was?
He was pretty much talking about himself the whole time,
(01:14:54):
and then was kind of like if we didn't just
come from my comedy show too, we was just kind
of I was like, no, it was cool. I mean,
but like, what else are you gonna do? And I
was like what He's like, like your life and I'm like,
oh no, let me get the line. What is he doing?
(01:15:15):
What was his job? You know it's not with me
no more? Right? Did you reach for your wallet after
that to pretend you was gonna pay? I always do.
I always do it, just like and I just hey,
but no, bro, like you've been like you've been not
let me put back the house because have you ever
gotten caught that way and ended up having to pay half? Absolutely?
(01:15:35):
And I was like, this is trash. I just I
was discussed as a woman. No, this is not what
we mean. We want equal pain. This is not what
we fight for. Did your mom still monitor your dating license?
You said your mom wants you to get engaged, so
bath listen with every birthday? She is definitely like, so
what's not your plans? I can't have these flags? Would
(01:16:01):
your parents have an issue if you go at home
like somebody Asian, somebody white? Would they What would they
say about that forty and I'm still single? They'd be like,
so you've brought home a giraffe. We love a tall dude.
We've brought home right now? You know they're holding hope,
holding on to hope for like a Nigerian. Uh that
(01:16:22):
that would be very interesting. But I think let me
have two more birthdays and I'm so singing They're gonna
be like before we die, before we die? So body
too love? What's the last time you've been on a date? Y?
Can I help you hook up? Wing clab hook up?
What's going on? I'm glad you told like mind his business.
(01:16:48):
Just I'm just asking. We just talked to you to
talk about his mom, as mom said before I before
I died. So I'm just asking, what's the last time
you you know why you you? You're freaking that blending
with the wallpaper energy right now? All right, we got
more with it, von Orgy when we come back, don't move.
It's to breakfast Club, go more morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
(01:17:08):
Angela Yee, Charlomagn nic Gay, we are the breakfast Club.
Were still kicking it with evon Org Charlomagne. Listen, how's
your relationship with Issa? Right? Because I know that it's
acting on set, but now that y'all beefing on the show,
do you find yourself before her off camera? By accident? An? Okay?
They anybody got people with uh, they have interests in
(01:17:30):
their own life, you know what I'm saying. Because Easter
is the most like super passionate but like anti conflict.
But I do know that this was a different season
for us because we were beefing throughout the whole season.
We wouldn't see each other on set because she had
a whole different world with Gondola. I mean we he
had episode five and eight by herself so far, so
(01:17:50):
it was like I wasn't on set with her as much,
and then when we were together, it was all this tension.
And so by the time we shot episode five, I
was like, I don't like this season. I don't I
don't know what's after. And I literally like, I miss you,
super No in real life, that's my that's the homie.
I asked my as even I'll fight you, I'm talking
(01:18:13):
about it. Can you admit that Molly's a bad friend?
I was just playing with ste anything at the tour.
You're the thing. Molly is not a bad friend. Molly
is just a woman trying to find her voice and
to use it the finder. You gotta use it, and
it's not always gonna come out right. And I think
what people are watching is somebody trying to find their
highest self and having missteps. And we as a black
(01:18:37):
community who don't always grace ourselves through our growth, and
so that's really what it is. I think what people
are projecting on its like, yeah, she's gonna make some mistakes.
She never stepped bounding youfore. She told y'all she's never
been in a relationship this pore before, and so I
think Molly is you know, going through it to grow
through it. Now, speaking of which, I saw that y'all
had some little sex toys on the show. How would
(01:19:00):
you fail if somebody whipped out a bunch of sex
toys on you? Now, with my husband, I'd be like,
let's let's try, because I've been waiting now all my life.
I know. I definitely when we were in me so
I was like, so, what exactly does that do? I
was looking at the property like can I hold these?
And I hold these for a little bit. List what
(01:19:22):
are your I liked what you did in the special
when you had that group that group shot where all
all y'all was talking like, so, so what are your
thoughts about African culture, like finally becoming mainstream in Americas?
It's beautiful for me. I think it's it's absolutely beautiful
in terms of like the crossover, because you know, when
you go home, it's just it's it's familiar to you,
(01:19:42):
right you did you hear the Afro beats? You know
it's stopping, And now you're just like, oh, all the
people that I know here also know that the stuff
back there is stopping. And I loved it. I think
it's a beautiful time. You know, it's funny with everything
that was going on. I was talking to a good
friend of mine. I was like, hey, she was saying
like who who is our ally? Like what other countries
(01:20:04):
are superpower that we that can that can help us?
And I was like, yo, can you imagine if like
every African country was at a place where they were
like financially and militarily, where if black people are in
trouble here, if we can't call on Europe, if we
can't call on agent, we be like yo, who do you?
And our Africa was like we're sitting in the African Union.
(01:20:26):
And my girl, my friend was like, so that's a comment.
I was like God, I was like, this doesn't like
but she was right, it's like that is a comma.
And I was like, well, why can't it be real life?
Like I was sad for a moment because it's like
it is every Black people everywhere are experiencing this, Like
when Corona Fort, black people in China could like they
(01:20:48):
couldn't get like healthcare service, and he was like yeah,
Like I felt like I felt like, you know, that's
being like dang dang dan, because it's just like I
wish we could have people that we could call and
be like, no, we're gonna come save the day because
we got oil when we got gold. But that's what's
interesting to me in that episode where you guys were
(01:21:09):
in Mexico, just to hear like the different takes on
cultural differences and how they tried to paint you. His
brother tried to paint you out as like the angry
black woman when we saw how she treated you. And
I know that feeling when you go to get something
and you say, how come you ain't asking white people,
or when you online to get on the plane and
they asked you if you're supposed to be, oh, this
is first class, and you're like, you ain't asking white people.
(01:21:31):
And I was watching that and I had so many
emotions about that because I was like, y'all don't understand
tresfering why black is high key frustrating, because you know,
I think they stopped doing it now. But it's not
the it's not the people picking your tickets anymore. When
they're like now boarding group ones, it's the other people
that are lined up. It's like, oh, she said, right,
(01:21:52):
and me, I know, I know, I'm sure, I'm platinum.
I'm platinum, thank you, and it's just like, let me live,
let me read it. But my friend Bob, she was like,
I'm taking back the term angry black woman because for
so long I think people are trying to weaponize that
against us. And she was just like, no, we are angry,
and I'm gonna use that. My events is I'm gonna
(01:22:12):
be angry. I'm angry at work because I have reasons
to be angry. So what have you you mentioned versus?
What have you been doing during this pandemic? Have you
been reading more, watching more television? What have you been doing? Man?
I just turned in another draft of my book that's
coming out, that book yere Ben by Jesus, How God
tricked me into the life of my dreams. And I
say one thing he definitely tricked me to write in
(01:22:34):
that back on book by myself. Why didn't you tell me, Charlotmayne,
Why didn't you tell me? I would have told you.
You do not have to sit there and try to
write a whole book by yourself, because you got stories
and you got ideas. You just write the stories down,
write the ideas down, and then let somebody else fluff
it up. I thought it was like I thought this
was like a rapper, like I wanted street cred, like
(01:22:54):
now I write my own rhyd Yeah, trying to write
a book in between trying to executive produce uh film
and uh, you know, edit and start in a comedy
special and shoot the movie and a proceeding a company.
I don't know. I really did think I was African
with a baby on my back and a pillow water
my head. I thought I could really do it all.
(01:23:16):
So what you've been doing teletherapy? Teletherapy every two weeks? Uh?
You know? Just and I you know what, I've been
doing therapy every two weeks, and I've just been doing
bath so like to two to four hours, I've just
been soaking. It's in therapy because heck, just to even
just sit. When do we ever get to just sit
silently and not be missing out on anything? Because the
(01:23:37):
world is closed outside and been closed and so bass
and therapy have really just been my escape. But I'm
so looking forward to usually reading. I got about four
books I started that I haven't finished. I'm you know,
I'm gonna become like Michelle Obama um in in a
couple of days. You know, it's got to be like
personally to those gotta kind of be like a mind
(01:23:59):
because you got your having your moment because the stand
those specialists coming up and like you said, outside is burning. Yeah,
because I think we need it. You know, I've evacolated
between looking it as kind of like I guess it's
gonna be a casualty of war, to turning my my
perspective to be like or maybe it's happening for such
a time as this, Maybe this is the best time
(01:24:20):
for the special will come out. Maybe just think so
you know, we need we need it right now. An
is good, Like you know, I try not to do
trashed up. It is good. Thank you, thank you. And
that's where you and Molly are different. You've been holding
(01:24:41):
in eight episodes. But the anger because we rescheduled this,
I was like, hold, no, we need to talk, we
need to figure this out. But hopefully this weekend y'all
will reconcile things and we could be cool. Am I
gonna be mad? I think you say mad, So I
don't know if you can all right. But I love
you Vine, so that's all that matters. I've got nothing
(01:25:03):
but love for you. And but no, I'm invited. And
I think this is actually the perfect storm or change
to happen. Yeah. I think this is divine because I
feel like, ain't no good gonna come to the world
until they do right by black people. And that's why
I think all of these things are impacting um black
folks the way that they are, just so the world
can see that and the world can finally have the
(01:25:26):
opportunity to properly atone to us, Ivan, thank you for
joining us so much. We appreciate you. Congratulations on everything.
Thank you, Mama. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the
Breakfast Club. This is the Ruble Report with Angel Gabrielle
(01:25:55):
Union has filed a discrimination complaint against America's Got Talent producers. Now,
this is a harassment complaint and she filed that in
the state of California against the producers and the network
behind America's Got Talent. She also has a new accusation
that NBC Entertainment Chairman Paul Telegdi threatened her over speaking
out against racism on set. So, according to her attorney,
(01:26:17):
when Gabrielle Union informed NBC a racially offensive conduct during
the taping of America's Got Talent, NBC did not stand
with her and outrage at acts of racism. And he
also said that NBC did not care enough to either
promptly investigate miss Union's complaints or even as HR to
get involved. Instead, they stood against her and directed its
outrage at her for whistle blowing about the racially offensive
(01:26:38):
conduct that she experienced while on set. Now, Dwayne Wade
also revealed that he and Gabrielle Union were being watched
and followed while negotiating their complaint against NBC Universal. So, yeah,
that's what's going on here. So we'll see what happens
their whole situation, I guess. According to Dwayne Wade, after
initially revealing the company and these workplace practices against her,
(01:27:02):
that's when after she found that complaint, that's when they
said the newly minted judge stood on a closed sound
stage and was enveloped in a cloud of cigarette smoke,
to which he's been severely allergic her entire life. Producers,
fellow judges, and set assistance looked on unfhased as series
creator and stars Simon Cowell finished his smoke while Union's
respiratory system went haywire. So Dwyane Wade is saying the
(01:27:23):
family has been terrorized throughout the entire process. He said,
y'all have deemed her a liar after months of trying
to inform you all of the issues in the workplace
and also make sure other employees of color that comes
after her won't have the same experience, instead of looking
through the lens of someone who has been an advocate
for the black and brown community, for women, and for
rape victims. If she if Gabrielle Union has been done wrong,
(01:27:44):
I hope that she gives her money. Absolutely. Yeah. She's
also doing a separate lawsuit against Simon Cowell as well,
so she got two as she's doing NBC and Simon Cowell.
M Oh, well, she really really really must feel like, yeah,
she really must feel like you got a case because
you know, the companies like that they got them long.
(01:28:04):
They got that long money to fight your ass in
court for a long time. But the waiting game. Gabrielle
got money to them, Yes they do. Yeah, And it's
good to be vocal because what she's trying to do
is make a change across the board, so things like
this don't happen for the next person and the next person.
All right, now here's a great story. You guys will
love this. Now. Kenny Defares is a comedian and he
(01:28:25):
told this story on Twitter, so I'll break it down
for you. But basically, this is a story that happened
back in January of twenty fifteen that involves Dave Chappelle.
He said that Dave Chappelle went to the knitting factory
in New York one night and he did it in
a PROMPTU set and he said he was asking the
crowd for them to give him headlines to riff on.
So one person yells our police brutality. And this is
(01:28:47):
right after the Eric Garner killing that happened, and he said,
a clearly privileged white girl shouts life's hard, sorry about
it when he starts talking about police brutality, and Dave
Pell said, I thought body camps would help, but what
good is video evidence if y'all don't care? And the
girl yells out, life's hard, sorry about it. So Dave
Chappelle says, what did you say? And she repeated it,
(01:29:10):
and that's when he started to educate her. But he
didn't attack her, he didn't yell, he didn't make fun
of her. He started educating the crowd on the history
of black people and the police. He talked about slave patrols,
Rodney King and Wattson, Emmett Till and Black Wall Street.
He talked about Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and he talked
about John Crawford the Third. Do you guys know who
John Crawford the Third is who he got killed in.
(01:29:33):
No about to say Walmart. That don't all it. He
did get killed in Walmart. He picked up a da
oh okay, yes, it was for sale in Walmart and
he was just looking at the BB gun and somebody
called the cops. A white person called the cops, and
the officer came in, doesn't even say drop the weapon
he hands up, just shoots him and kills him. And
it's on security footage. Yes, it's playing his day and
according to the comedian, defarest, he says. Chappelle then tells
(01:29:57):
the story about getting getting pulled over in a rural
Ohio where he lives. This is before that shooting, before
John Crawford the Third got shot and killed, but after Ferguson,
So racial Tenson is bubbling. He said, I may be
white on paper, but I'm still black. So I'm nervous.
He said. The cop approaches, he can tell I'm nervous.
I have both my hands on the wheel, and I say, Officer,
my license and registration is in the glove box. I'm
(01:30:19):
going to reach for them now. I promise I'm not armed.
He said. I could tell the officer was offended, and
he said I know who you are, Dave Chappelle, And
I said, so, why do I need my license and registration?
He said. He got off with a warning. And he
said the twist is that same cop is the same
cop who would go on to murder John Crawford the Third.
And at the end of it, he said, I shouldn't
have to be Dave Chappelle to survive police encounters. Now,
(01:30:40):
what's really relevant about this whole story, though, is the
comedian Kenny Defarres, who tweeted all this and waited until
now to talk about it. Five years later. He said,
Dave Chappelle goes on to explain that one of his
best friends is South African. He said, I asked him
what it was like in South Africa right before aparthod ended,
and he said it was chaos in the streets. There
were riots and car bombs, but the amount of people
carrying hit critical mass and there was nothing they could
(01:31:02):
do to stop it. The people had momentum and apartheid
ended critical mass. That's what we have to hit. Once
enough of you care, there will be nothing they can
do to stop the change. And they said it was
incredibly powerful. In the crowd was somber and silent. Well,
I think that's the moment that we're in right now.
And you know, it makes me feel bad when I
know when I know these stories, like you know, I
know these names, Like when you said John Crawford the third,
(01:31:23):
I knew the name. But I'm like, it felt like
it all started to feel like a blur because you
hear so many of these, so many different names. Yeah,
the guy who got shot in Walmart. Oh, that the
guy who got pulled over and you know he had
a legal gun and they still shot him. Was that
the guy who was scared and ran and they shot
him in the back. It's literally all a blur. You
(01:31:44):
just know the names. You just don't know how they
got killed by police. You just know they got killed
by police. Well, I know that was a long story
I just told, but I thought it was really important
and I thought it was amazing, especially for the time
that we're in right now. And you know, after all this,
the white girl actually came back to speak to him,
and you know, Joy Ellenicole came back and said, I
told her to leave, but Dave Chappelle said, no, bring
(01:32:05):
her back. And she said, I'm sorry for what I said.
Thank you for educating me. I was ignorant before, but
I want you to know I learned from you tonight
and I won't say things like that anymore. That's that's great,
That's something I'm glad he educated. Huh, because most comedians
would have roasted her and she should have ran out
of there, and the whole audience actually got educated. So
think about other people who might have kind of felt
that way. Absolutely, Yeah, But Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock,
(01:32:28):
so they don't have the intellect to be able to
educate somebody on a subject like that. Also, sometimes people
just get really angry and they don't want to explain things.
And I understand that too, you know, because you can
get really mad and upset when people You're like, you
have all this information, you see what's going on? How
do you still not know? So that was a great
approach and that did work that night. And in closing,
(01:32:49):
I just want to let you guys know Oprah is

network simulcast is called where Do We Go From Here.

of cars, whether it's hot wheel cars, toy cars, regular cars.
He just loves cars one da way he gets it from.
But because it's rainy today and he can't have a
party because of COVID coronavirus, I put together like a
little parade yesterday at the house where it was like
I would say, about thirty forty cars driving by and
kind of like a parade. So it was pretty dope
and he enjoyed it. He loved it. So let me

to Illmatic Raps for getting that together for me, and
shout out to that one neighbor that called the police too.
Shout to her too. Yeah, so I'm going, I'm sure
that's probably what exactly what you did. There's a bunch
of negroes out there with some expensive they probably she said, Nope,
(01:35:03):
she said it might be a protest. I think it's
a protest going on. It looks it don't look peaceful,
it looks suspicious. Well, we still had a good time. Cops.
I mean, they didn't do anything, but I I just
thought it was it was crazy that you see these
kids outside they screaming happy birthday, and you call the
police on a six year old. But she thought they
were saying black lives matter, Happy birthday, Black lives matter.

Same thing. Oh my goodness. All right, Well you got
a positive note. I do have a positive note. Man.
A positive note is simply this man do your best

matter how hard you try, so give yourself credit from
making an effort and try to stop stressing about the outcome.
Breakfast you don't finish, y'all,
