Speaker 1 (00:01):
Triangle. I'm figuring it out for some reason that the
solid holding down. If the base rage let me at
the breakfast club, everyone just kept telling the prepadence. One
word to describe the Breakfast Club would be blott impacting
the coach. People watch the breakfast Club for like news
and really be tuned in. Man, I don't even know
what to call it the breakfast Club. It's like brunch.

(00:22):
Nb Ye and Cholomagne. Wake that ass up, get out
of bed and listen to the Breakfast Club. I'm waking up.
Good morning, usc yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo
yo yo yo yo yo. Good morning angela ye, damn money, Charlomagne,

(00:43):
the guy peace to the planet is Tuesday, Yes, it's Tuesday.
That's right. What's up? What's happening? Good morning? How y'all
feel out there? I feel great, man. I'll be back
in tomorrow. My my test came back negative, so I'll
be back in tomorrow. You missed me, um, and I
really I heard that antal Swab was echoing too. This morning.

(01:04):
I was talking to dramas. If you missed me, but
you answered you applied. Okay, okay, yes, I will be
back to my Today's a good day, man. I'm feel blessed,
black and holly favored, you know, minus to b s.
Life's creat I thought, that's how you feel everything that
is that is, I mean, that's how I scribe to feel.
And if I don't feel that way, I wake up
and set my attention to try to shift my energy

(01:25):
to make myself feel that way. You know, nothing a
little prayer and a little meditation and some daily affirmations
can't solve that's now. Let me ask you. Guys in
the room or any of y'all handy like around the
house can do things. Nah, not me neither. I figured
that out yesterday. So my toilet was running right. And
as a kid, I used to see my dad fixed
the toilet. Oh no, I can do that now. Nah.
But I bought the piece. I went to home depot,

(01:46):
I bought the little piece. I was like, I'm gonna
fix this toilet, take everything off for him. And I
realized I ain't even got the tools to to to
take the thing out the toilet. Bro. I mean, listen,
that's why I always encourage your kids like you know,
trade school is something that we should put an emphasis
on because you know, people aren't as good with their
hands as as the generation before us was. Plus, that's
the way to always make money. Plumbers always make money. Absolutely,

(02:09):
Electricians always make money. People don't start laking. This is
always make money. You're right, you know what I mean.
But I think my dad called me stupid yesterday because
I was I put him on facetown. I was like, her, dad,
show me how to do it, and he was like, well,
you need this pool, this tool. I was like, I
ain't got that tool. He was like, you a man
and you don't have no tools. I was like, yeah,
see and see. My dad will do stuff like that
to me. But my problem with that is like, don't

(02:30):
chastise me for what you didn't teach me. You know
what I mean. Don't scold me for what you did
not teach me. So right, I see it between say,
let me sat exactly, somebody had to teach you. You
ain't teach me. To teach me that, well, I just
look everything up on YouTube. But I definitely have about
five different tool boxes because my dad every year gives
me like a toolbox. Oh well, I need to come

(02:51):
over and get one. Ye, so I'm borrowing once a least.
My dad treats me. He just I think growing up
my parents, my dad especially, would always trying to make us,
like fix things around the house and learn how to
do things. I'm pretty good at, like hooking up electronics
and stuff like that. But I got to fix my toilet.
Her company here. I'm coming to the crib to get
some of those tools because I didn't have nothing to
fix that. Damn. Told. Have you ever gone and used

(03:12):
somebody else's toilet and it broke while you were in there?
It was it was kind of broken, and then you're like, damn,
what am I supposed to do it? I try to
fix this Number one. I would never do too much
in somebody else's. Didn't do too much. But like you
could just go to pan it's running or it doesn't
flush or something happens. Oh, they're on their own it,
they only own. You gotta fix that toilet, bro right,
you knew that toilet was running before I went all right,

(03:34):
you ain't trying to fix it yourself first. No, if
you're toilets a running track, start and that's on you.
You knew that before I walked in there. That reminds
me of a story Angelie's manager one time. Y'all were
all in the hotel room and she blew the bathroom up.
But were not all in a hotel room. We'll explain
the story. Everybody was in different rooms. But she actually
used the toilet and stopped it up. Well, that was

(03:57):
Crispy Kreme. They had nothing to do with the toilet
being stopped up, all right, that was Krispy Kreme. From
the front desk. Was so disgusting. I've never seen this
type of load come out of such a beautiful woman.
Guy was disgusting. Murder beat South Carolina that's where it happened.
That goodness gracious, all right, Well, good morning everybody. Let's

(04:19):
get the show cracking now this morning. We have a
special guest joining us. She's a gospel singer and she
just wrote a book. Kiara shared we'll be joining us
this morning. Yeah, she played her mama in that Clark
Sisters movie on Lifetime. Right. The name of her book
is Big, Bold and Beautiful. That's right, And we'll be
talking to her this morning. And we got front page news.
What's going on? What were you talking about? You? Well,

(04:40):
Let's first off, give you some updates on what happened
with Dante. Right. His death has been ruled a homicide. Okay,
we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good
morning morning. Everybody is tj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the
guy we all the Breakfast Club. Now, let's get in
some front page news where we started. Well, the Brooklyn

(05:03):
Center police officer who shot and killed Dante right following
a traffic stop on Sunday has been identified. That officer
is cam Patter. According to a press release, she has
been with the Brooklyn Center Police Department for twenty six years.
They've also released the footage where you can hear the
police officer thought that she was pulling out her taser
but instead pulled out her gun when she shot and

(05:25):
killed Dante right. Listen to this footage. Yeah, now, Brooklyn
Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said that he believed the officer, like,

(05:48):
we just said to your handgun instead of the tasers.
You can hear she's screaming taser, Taser, Taser. Here's what
he had to say. The officer while struggling with mister
taser taser. That is part of the officers training prior
to the po A taser. During this encounter, however, the
officer drew their handgun instead of their taser. We train
with our handguns on our dominant side and our taser

(06:09):
on our weak side. This is done purposefully in its
trained As I watched the video and listened to the
officers commands, it is my belief that the officer had
the intention to deploy their taser, but instead shot mister
Wright with a single bullet. This appears to me, from
what I viewed and the officer's reaction and distress immediately after,
that this was an accidental discharge. Hey man, I mean listen,

(06:30):
at this point, there's nothing to discuss here. You know,
everything we could possibly say has been said before. This
is just a new rerun. Okay, it's the same thing
that happened in the Oscar Grand case. Am I mistaken
when I say that this isn't the first time this
has happened. They said, normally police officers put their handgun
on their dominant side and then they put the taser

(06:52):
on the non dominant side. That way that mix ups
like these don't happen. And the lighter they have some
right yellow somewhere. Yeah, which which I don't understand and
is is you know, they make all these rules and
regulations to try to stop this from happening again, and
then it does. So what happens. But I think that's
the consequence. No, I think they did. I think they
made that like they made protocols, They didn't extra training.

(07:15):
That's why she yelled taste the taser and all this stuff.
That's why they put the you know, the the taison
on your your less dominant side, and then they made
it a bright color so you can see the difference.
But so what's what's what's the consequence? Now you go
through all this, but you know, the lady clearly it
was a mistake, So what is the consequence that man?
Because it wasn't what was it a mistake or strategic homicide?
You know what I'm saying? Like it's because because I

(07:37):
think if you've been on the fourth for like twenty
some years, and she she should know the difference between
a gun and at this point, so I can't just
say it was a mistake, you know. But but it
will be rule to accident, and it will be rule
to justify justifiable homicide, and it will be no charges
and she probably will be fired, but she'll be you know,
um sent to another jurisdiction before the years old, so

(07:57):
she'd be in another department making the same mistakes. Yeah, no,
I'm sure she probably she will be fired. But what
happens now, Like this man lost his life, This family
lost their child, son, just child lost his father. So
what are the consequences now, Yeah, you could say it
was a mistake, but mistakes like this can't happen. Once again,
we out here talking about new reruns. Yeah, that's the welcome.

(08:18):
Welcome to the sitcom Black in America, the only sitcom
that has new reruns all the time. And you know,
she was on the force for twenty six years. They
didn't say she had any other problems, but man lost
his Yeah, they haven't said much about anything in her
background yet. But police Chief Tim gain And said there
will be an independent investigation. Here's what else he said.
I've asked the BCA to conducting independent investigation and in

(08:40):
the shooting and death. Once they are completed, I expect
they will submit their findings independent of me, to the
appropriate authorities, the appropriate attorneys that were look and review
this case. The officer is currently on administrative lead. She
will not be returning to duty until this investigations runs course,
and she for all terms of purposes. I think we
can look at the video and king whether or not
she'll be returning. She'll get fired, but then you'll get

(09:02):
moved to another department. She'll be in another jurisdiction, jurisdiction
making the same mistakes later on in life. Listen, there
is consequences and repercussions the mild practice in every field
except for law enforcement. Okay, all right, well that is
your front page news. All right, that's that's a tough one. Man,
young man lost his life. Every one they say, but

(09:24):
this one is they'll say it's a mistake and keep
it moving. They've done it a million times already. Like
we've seen this one once again. This is like I said,
this is a new rerun. We've seen it many million
times already. Certain mistakes. That's just too irresponsible. All right,
but what happened if there was a protocol, what do
you mean what happened? I don't know what happens next? Like, yeah,
I agree, she can't not something that something has to happen.

(09:47):
But then you know, people will say you know it's
all good to you get punched in their face, right,
like like everything's all good to you get punched in
the face. Yeah, she's trained and trained and trained, but
now when it happens, you just lose everything and don't
know what you're doing. He's gonna get fired and move
to another jurisdiction. They're gonna rule with an accident, justify, justified, buhamicide.
It will probably be no charges. I don't see him happening. Well,

(10:10):
get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five,
one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit
us up right now. Phone lines to wide open. It's
to breakfast club. Go morning, the breakfast club. Wake up,
wake up, wake If you're trying to get it off
your chest, your man of blas, we want to hear
from you on the breakfast club. Hello, who's this David?

(10:35):
David good on to get it off your chest? Yeah, man,
I just want to talk about the shooting up in
Minnesota that the young man that was killed by police. Yes,
it's very tragic, very unfortunate. It sucks that you know,
with twenty six years training on the floors that they
can they can simply call that a mistake. And say
that it was an accident, you know what I mean. Yeah,

(10:56):
don't don't know that this when your gun and the taser,
you don't need to have no goddamn you know what
I'm saying. And if you don't know how to if
you don't know how to draw your weapon properly, you
don't know whether or not you're drawing your teams or
you're gun you shouldn't be caring either. I agree. And
at the same time, you know, the young man was
complying at first, and man, it just sucks that. You know,

(11:18):
maybe he got scared. I don't know, something caused him
to decide to try to run, and unfortunately will never
know whether or not he would have just gotten off
with a ticket. You know what I'm saying, Because because
the officer didn't remember her training after twenty six years,
she forgot what she was doing. And it sucks that
that we lost another young, innocent life behind some some
bs like that. Yeah, and I think that we do

(11:40):
have to factor in how scared you know, black people
are in these situations, and he's a kid man. We
don't know if that brother had a panic attack, you
know what I'm saying, Like anything could have happened. And
that's that you were like, like you said, she's been
on the force for twenty five, twenty six years, like
she shouldn't know. He wasn't a rookie. Put myself in
that situation, and you know, I asked myself what I
have remained called I'm seeing all these cops showing up. Yeah,

(12:02):
I have been over me. I don't know. It's been
a long time since I've been in that situation. Listen,
we have such short term memories. Remember I was scared,
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, and we have such
short term memories. We just watched a lieutenant, a man
who served in the military, are growing and don't tell
y'all he would shook the death he was scared. So
imagine that little kid felt twenty years old. Yeah, man,

(12:23):
it sucks. It's terrible. This before kid, my language. It
just keeps happening a way too often, man, too often.
Then you think about you think about how a barber
somebody that cuts your hair has to go through more
hours of training then a police officer done. That's right, ridiculous,
that's right. I just wanted to get that off my chairs. Man.

(12:45):
I listened to you guys every morning. You guys have
a plus Tuesday. Get it off your chests eight hundred
five eight five one oh five one. If you need
to vent, hit us up now. It's the breakfast Club.
Good morning, the breakfast Club. This is your time to
get it off your chests. Whether you're man or blessed,

(13:05):
but you better have the same in We want to
hear from you on the breakfast class. Hello, who's this?
Hey did the NBA's chests from Long Island? Hey, Jess
could get it off at chess? You know what? I
was just listening to Charlotagne say how that cops should
have had a malpractice you know how every other profession
that you know, if you're pretty serious like a cop,
I'm an r n um. If I make a mistake

(13:27):
at work, if I don't break a medication in half
the right way, if I do something long, I face
a lawsuit, I lose my license, I lose my job,
I end up in jail if it's bad enough, Because
I take that in life. So something about that really
got me going. When Charlomagne and said that they should
have some sort of malpractice issue, you know, some sort
of a Yeah, absolutely right, absolutely right. It gets me going,

(13:49):
it really does. Yeah, every industry damned, every industry guid
an except for law enforcement. But let me ask you
a question. If a doctor does some some type of malpractice,
a mistake or accident, can you sue that doctor personally
or does he have insurance and you sue the insurance company.
I'm not sure she can go to jail if it's
bad enough, So I assume that that's what they need
to do. Your license, you'll never work again. That's why

(14:11):
getting rid of qualified immunity it's so important, like I
said during dunky to Day yesterday, because now you can
sue those police officers directly. When you start affecting people's pockets,
man and threatening them with real prison time, they'll change
the way they move if they know that they can
get sued directly, and then no civil suits that people
get rewarded. It's gonna come from their money as well
as their future pensions. Oh, they'll switch up, all right? Hello?

(14:34):
Who's this? All right? What's up? How you doing? Man?
This was the pocket USA? Man? What's going on? Man?
Get it off your chests? R Yeah? Man, I just
going to call and talk about that soldier man, I
just want to say how he hounded It was very well, right,
but just put that on me. Just that was me
and I get Pepper place. The first thing I possed.
What it did was brab my shirts, breathed down and

(14:54):
looked for something. Yea, and I would have been accused
of reaching for a gun. Yeah right, that's why the
pocket you say, it's so important, man, That's why I'm
on this mission to push this product. Man, I just
hope everybody tapped into it. Man, we need this product.
It's very necessary. Got your pocket, that's your thing where
you hang your license and stuff out of the window. Yeah.
Maybe he's said he sent me. He sent me on

(15:14):
too for my son. Yeah. So if you don't know,
he has a what's the name of the company? Side
the pocket. Pocket you would say, where you can put
your license, to your registration, your proof of insurance, and
you hanging out on the outside of your car so
you don't have to worry about the cops coming in.
But if they ask you to open the door, like
they ask them to open the door, I mean you're
still in the same situations. Fine, that's fine, that's still

(15:34):
hoping the door, but your hands were staying buildable. Now
you're not getting tougher spark. Now you're not getting shot.
Now you're not getting a fuse of reason for anything.
That's doing the hard member, And that's the perfect I listen,
I liked your idea a lot, but nae, you know
what I mean is necessary? Man, I'm with you. But
cop cops will see that hanging out the window and

(15:55):
say they felt threatened who they don't know what, they
didn't know what it was. That's knowing too. There's no
excute to say they starts praying by this product hanging
out to your door when they've seen y'll head. You're
not moving. There's no reason for you to move, so
there's no no acute for them to tabor you. I've
seen it. We we've seen it. We've seen it a
million times. How quickly y'all forget the chant hands up,

(16:18):
don't shoot? Because brother Michael Brown had his hands up
in the air when he was shot, sir, Like, there's
no way you can look at any of these police killings,
police brutality. We've seen it a million different ways, and
it's and it never ends the way we always think
it's gonna end. So I don't understand how we keep
lying on ourselves and giving ourselves these bs excuses. All right,
we'll get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five,

(16:40):
one oh five. We got rumors on the way, Yes,
and we are going to talk about money. What hip
hop artists could make a hundred million dollars when coin
base goes public. Also, guess who just bought The Weekend's
house for nineteen point three million dollars. All right, we'll
get into that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
the Breakfast Club. I'm wanting everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

(17:03):
Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's get
to the rumors. Let's talk Cheryl Underwood's This is the
Rumor Report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, well,
the Talk is back on the air. This is after
all of the controversy with Sharon Osborne and Sharon Osborne

(17:26):
is clearly no longer with the show. Filling in. Also
on the show was Donald E. Green. He's an expert
on diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. Also, Anita Phillips was
on this episode a trauma therapist and life coach to
help guide the conversation. Now some of the things that
were discussed on the show. Cheryl Underwood did the opening statements.
We haven't been together at the studio since the week

(17:48):
of March tenth, and as you may know, during our break,
Sharon decided to leave the talk. We need to process
the events of that day and what happened since so
we can get to the healing. Over the next hour,
we will honestly discuss what occurred and explore some of
our feelings, and will also show you how anyone can
become more comfortable with discussing important issues and having difficult conversations.

(18:12):
And by the end of the hour, we want everyone
to feel empowered and ready to move forward. All right.
Shary Underwood also talked about the whole thing with the
angry black woman. She didn't want to be that and
says she decided not to come back or what she fired.
It's hard to say. Some people are saying that she
chose not to come back. Some people are saying that

(18:34):
they told her, they allowed her to say that, you know,
to save face. I don't know personally, but there's two
different stories going around now. According to Shary Underwood, she
didn't want to be the angry black woman, but she
also can't even watch that episode, I saw a composed, clear,
confident woman. But what we didn't see what was going
on inside. Well. I didn't want to escalate things with

(18:57):
Sharon because I thought I was having a conversation of
the friend. But also I knew I had to be
an example for others to follow because I didn't want
to be perceived as the angry black woman. And that
really scared me. And it's difficult to go back to
that day because I just feel the trauma. I feel fearful,

(19:18):
you know, a little apprehensive. I love this discussion Charlemagne
and God talking. I would like to know where has
not being the angry black woman, an angry black person
got us. Why are we always compromising ourselves for our presses?
Why why can Sharon Osborne catch an attitude, come off
as angry and it's all good, But a black person

(19:39):
who has the right to be angry has to temper herself.
My therapist that has feel your feels okay? In black people,
women and men, we have every right to be angry
and every right to express that anger, because if you
are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say
you enjoyed it. Zora Neil Hurston, by the way, Yeah,
you know, there's always this whole thing about being the
angry black woman as energy sp up for yourself. You're angry.

(20:01):
As soon as you show some type of emotion or
passionate about something, you're the angry black woman. And then
there's that people don't take it seriously. And I'll say it,
and so I think, and so I think for Sharyl Underwood,
and it's something that black women have had to deal
with forever now, and that's not wanting to be out
of control of your emotions. And I asked the question
once again, where has not being the angry black woman,

(20:22):
an angry black person got us? Not coming off angry
has gotten us nowhere? Yes we're angry, Yes we pissed off,
Yes we're flipping over tables. Enough is enough. The time
for playing small has been over, and it's gotten us nowhere.
Raise hell, get angry. And you know, if you're not angry,
and you're clearly not paying attention to what's going on
in this country. And I think she also felt like

(20:43):
Sharon was her friend, and that was one of the
things too between the two of them. I'm sure that
also affected her as well. And they're on TV, so
you know. And they also have said, by the way,
that Sharon is going to talk when she's ready. According
to an insider, she wants to give herself out of
the story. Still, I thought she had already done that.
Word what was the whole thing with Kevin Frakes. You

(21:06):
gotta laugh at the absurdity of all of this to be,
you really do how many? How many sides did she get?
Sharon Osborne never issu de private apology, but Sharon Osborne
then showed some screenshots that showed text to Sharon Underwood
that went on answer to and Shary Underwood did confirm
that Sharon Osborne did text her, but she didn't answer
because she didn't know if she was allowed to give

(21:27):
in the internal investigation taking place. I saw Sharon Osborne
tweet out yesterday a video of a bear rubbing his
back against the pole while Genuine Pony was playing. She's
so unbothered, so unbothered. That's why I just saw the
post started on shade room or something. That's why you
gotta be like eton people. There's nothing wrong with being angry.
You have every single right to be angry, and don't

(21:49):
let nobody tell you different with you God damn right,
all right? Now, The Weekend sold his house for nineteen
point three million dollars. It was his Hidden Hills home.
He had originally listed the house last June for twenty
five million, but then he did a price cut nineteen
point three million dollars. The person who bought the house
is Madonna. So Madonna has bought The Weekend's old house. Now,

(22:12):
initially he bought this house in twenty seventeen for eighteen
point two million. He made one point one million on
it unless he did some renovations. Did you just say
a little one point one a little one point one?
He made one point one million, not much, one point
one million dollars. Do you know fifty percent of America
doesn't have two hundred and fifty dollars to spare, And

(22:34):
you said a little one point one million dollars, Well,
here's another little bit of money for you. They're saying
NAS couldn't at one hundred million dollars when coin based
lists on NASDAC, when that cryptocurrency exchange, they said that's
expected to reach over a one hundred billion dollars in
valuation when they start list their stock on Wednesday dropping
a Colos bomb from Nazi Jones shot. But you can't

(22:56):
even spell nasdac without NAS at this point in life. Okay,
how many times HASNA has been a part of you deal?
It's like it's third or fourth deal. But you can't
even spell nash back without Nas at this point, I
think how you spellings? Yes? Right? Yeah, yeah, okay, alright,
So yes, it looks like they've been making some really

(23:17):
smart investments. His investment firms Queen's Bridge Venture Partners, and
they got into coin base back in twenty thirteen when
it raised twenty five million dollars. Around that time, it
was valued at about one hundred and forty three million dollars.
So Queen's Bridge, like I said, is the name of
his firm. They also wear a backer of Robin Hood
in twenty thirteen and then later on Lift and Drop
drop Box too. Nay Nas took it to heart when

(23:40):
jay Z said, smartened up Nash. Okay, he sure did
show y'all something. All right, Well that is your rumor reports,
all right, thank you, missy, and joining all that money
with the great hairline. NA still has at forty four
years old. That's a great feat. I think NA is
older than forty four, but yeah, it's amazing either. Heyline's

(24:01):
incredible heater. All right, now, we got from page news
coming up. Yes, and let's talk about this Johnson and
Johnson COVID nineteen vaccine. Apparently there are some serious concerns
and we'll tell you what those are. All right, we'll

we starting you. Well, there's some issues with this Johnson
and Johnson vaccine. They says there's been four serious cases
of unusual blood clots reported after people got that vaccine.
According to European health authorities said. They said they are

(25:04):
still investigating these cases and that is currently not clear
whether there's a casual association between the vaccine and the clots,
but the CDC and the FDA are taking reports of
these blood clots very seriously. I thought they recalled the
Johnson and Johnson vaccine a couple of weeks ago. Apparently not,
they're still using them. I think they did recall them
in some places, but there was a bad batch I think.

(25:26):
But I'll tell you one thing my parents. My dad
called me the other day, was like, if the kids
could take the vaccine, do not do Johnson and Johnson
and just hung a boar. They said, all right, Dad, Yeah,
but people are just taking whatever's available too. And some
people really want to take the Johnson and Johnson because
it's only one shot. Like I know my dad was
saying that's the one he wanted to take because it's
just one. But you know, again, different information every day, right,

(25:50):
all right, Another unfortunate shooting, another tragedy. One student is
dead and a police officer was wounded after a shooting
at a high school in Knoxville, tennis See. Officers responded
to reports of a potentially armed individual. This was at
Austin East Magnet Heights School and this happened yesterday around
three fifteen. They did find the individual in the school's restroom.

(26:13):
They ordered him out, he refused, and after he fired shots,
at least one officer returned fire. The gunman, who was
identified as a student at that school, did die at
the team. They have not released his name at this time.
I'm telling you, America, am r I KKKA the only
show in the world that has new reruns. It's a
new rerun. You can't even keep up. You could just

(26:34):
pick your anxiety at this point, like you just spend
a wheel what you want today. You want a school
shooting because you got kids that go to school. Pick that.
You want another traumatic police brutality incident, picked that, Like
you could just pick your trauma at this point in America,
it's so damn saman all right. And in the case
of Dante, right right now, Joe Biden is calling for

(26:55):
peace and calm in the wake of Dante writes fatal
encounter with police in Minnesota. According to Joe Biden, he
is seeing his death does not justify violence or looting.
Was it an accident intentional that remained to be determined
by a full lawn investigation. But in the meantime, I

(27:17):
want to make it clear again there's absolutely no justification
for looting, no justification for violence. Peaceful protests understand them,
but we do know that the anger, pain and trauma
the resisting the black community in that environment is real.
It's serious, and it's consequential. Why is it always strong

(27:37):
the language and rhetoric towards people, you know, so called
looting and damaging buildings than it is the actual state
sanctioned violence against black people. Shouldn't it be? You know,
the unjust murders of black people are not justifiable. That
violence is not justifiable. As opposed to him damn buildings.

(27:57):
Yeah yeah, that seems like they can't about them, damn
buildings and black people all the time. Joe Biden tweeted
out today, I'm thinking about Dante Right and his family
and the pain, anger, and trauma that Black America experiences
every day. But we're away the full investigation. We know
what we need to do to move forward, rebuild trust
and ensuring accountability so no one is above the law. Okay,

(28:19):
we'll pass to George Floyd Policing Act. How do we
make that happen? Okay, that's what you campaign You campaigned
on that. Vice President Harris campaigned on that. Where is
the George Floyd Policing Act? Huh passing on the federal level.
I know a lot of these things have to happen
through the state, really, but your beliefs passed that on
a federal level. All right, well that is your front

(28:40):
page news. All right, all right, now when we come back,
gospel singer actress Kiah joining us, and now author Kiera
Shared will be joining us. She played her mama, one
of the Clark's sisters in the Lifetime movie She Sure did.
We'll talk to in a minute. A book out, Big,

(29:01):
bold and Beautiful, owning the woman God made you to be.
We'll talk to a next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
the Breakfast Club. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
the guy we all to Breakfast Club. We had a
special guest joining us this morning. Here Shared Kelly Morning,

(29:22):
good morning, good morning. The author of the new book
A big, bold and beautiful, Yes beautiful, that's yes, yes, yes,
first book. What made you want to write? A book. Well,
actually it was unintentional. So I had been writing and
just kind of journaling as a form of therapy. And
this is how I came about. I was looking at
the email account that I hadn't been checking. You know

(29:44):
how you just kind of say, oh, this email account
gonna be for like spam or whatever. And I looked
in there something told me. I'm a church girl, so
you know how the old things be, like the Holy
Ghost told you, wasn't something that tells you. I went
and checked and they were offering me a book opportunity,
and I was just like, well, let me just gather
my journaling. And that's how the book came about. Wow,
you do all this during the pandemic when it was

(30:04):
nothing to do, when you could sit at home, take
your time go through your journal and right, so no,
I have been journaling from like eighteen till now. So
literally it's like me putting my life story and everything
that I've gone through in the book. Um. And then
I just had like some little studies from like Bible study,
and I just threw it in there. Um. So it's unintentional.
It's really a divine moment. And like I said, it

(30:25):
was therapeutic for me, and I didn't know I had
a book in me, if you know what I mean.
So what is what you said? Eighteen? And now I
was like, two, thank you, I'm still young. I'm thirty three. Yeah,
it was a journey. Well, I started reading the book
and I have to tell you, I really appreciated how
honest and frank you were about a lot of things

(30:45):
in your life and decisions that you made, and how
rebellious you were. So I did um want it discussed
some of the things that you talked about. One thing
you said, make better decisions with the people you allow
into your life. If we trained our bodies to consume
expired milk or foods, it will respond negatively the first time,
but if we continue, we'll become immune to the poisons.
And then you talk about just basically tolerating expired relationships,

(31:08):
and I feel like sometimes we want to feel so
loyal to people and just keep it going when sometimes
things just aren't meant to be and we're only poisoning ourselves. Right,
So can you talk about yourself and those experiences? Yeah, totally.
I just kind of had to step aside, even from
just me wanting to connect with people who I felt
like I could relate to, but I was relating with

(31:29):
them when it came to my weaknesses and not my
streamside was building relationships off of the challenges that I had,
and it wasn't relationships that will cause like healthy development.
And in addition to that, I'm a creator, and I'm
sure a lot of creators can attest to the fact
that we kind of move off of vibes like what
I feel, and I didn't always have people around me
who were like wanting to see me when if that

(31:51):
makes sense. But I'm not planning the victim either, because
there were some issues that I had to deal with
in myself, but I just had to make better decisions
and I understood that self care way isn't just you know,
the bath with the candles. It's like, definitely about the
village you have. So I've been say the village is
not just for the child, is for the adult too,
And I felt most liberated when I had people that
weren't just telling me yes, but telling me no, you

(32:13):
got you gotta put that down, you know. So it
definitely has contributed to my mental stability with me being
a big girl, having someone to tell me, Hey, you
can embrace your big but still be healthy, you know.
And I'm like I said, I'm a woman of faith.
So the word teaches me that a food despises correction,
and I don't want to be a fool through rife.
So it just challenged me to be a student at hard.

(32:34):
For sure, I feel like we didn't do you know,
justice when it comes to introducing you know, your mom
is a Karen Clark right from the legendary gospel group
the Clark Sisters. Yes, how was that growing up in
that household? It was good pressure, good challenge, good accountability.
At this point, it's exciting to see that I have
the opportunity to say that we're inspiring each other, which

(32:55):
inspires me more to be a student, like I was
saying at heart, not thinking that, oh, you've a ride
and you just But also it challenged me to work
hard because you know a lot of people are like, oh,
she probably think she's gonna come into game and think
that everything's gonna be handed to her. But no, I work.
I work, and I'm thankful too, so I come in
with a grateful heart as well. I did the movie
and trying to sing like my mom I was like, oh, no,

(33:18):
this lady is an alien. She's a monster, because I
literally was getting like lightheaded trying to hit her notes.
So it definitely was like her sonning me, but not
her being there saying no, you're still a kid, so
sit back and chill out. But it's really special, and
I counted a blessing. For sure. You have to audition
for that role or that like one of those non
negotiable this is nepotism, we're gonna make it happen. No,

(33:39):
I had to audition. I had to put the work in,
and honestly, at first I wasn't sure that I wanted
it because of so many other reasons, but yeah, for
sure I did had to audition. Well, good job because
that movie broke all kinds of records and it did
great numbers, so clearly people really loved your portrayal of
your mother. Thank you. Any pressure to get into music
because your mom was a music so heavy was one

(34:01):
of those things like no, girl, you're getting into music,
you can say, or was it like nah, I think
what I was able to do. I can definitely say
I was able to do what I wanted. Of course,
my parents, which I respect because there are moments when
I was young and I didn't really have the idea
of what the future could be. So I was just
saying no from an immature place. But thank god, my

(34:21):
parents were like, hey, go to school, get your education,
but also have this musical side of you and see
what it will do for you. So it wasn't like
an unhealthy pressure because they did allow me to be
the nail tech once upon the time that I wanted
to be, or install wigs. I'm really good at wigs,
so at one point I thought I was going to
be in the cosmetology field, and now here I am

(34:42):
because I've listened to my parents in their grooming. So
it wasn't an unhealthy pressure. You you know, in chapter three,
chapter that you was talking about, you talk about having
to leave people behind, right, Like, how important is finding
your tribe because, like you said, we talk about a
village raising a child, but when you becoming an adult,
you're still grown, you're still evolving. If people on on
that level with you, you know you gotta leave them behind.

(35:03):
But how important it define your truck. It's so important
because again, as a woman of faith, you got scriptures
that say iron sharpens iron and I was just having
a conversation with a friend, and it's possible that a
friend can sharpen what's bad in you, you know, And
I think too, if you're not careful, it has everything

(35:24):
with your sanity, you can make choices. If you don't
have people around you, I say, that's not good for you.
I think we all have seen, even some of our
favorite inspirations, it's like, I just wish they had somebody
else around them to kind of save them from going
down that path. So it means a lot to me.
It speaks to my spirituality. It speaks too, and I
can say that even my business relationships are not just business.

(35:47):
It's like it goes deeper, you know what I'm saying.
So I even talk about in the book the difference
between draining relationships versus fountain like relationships. And I came
up with that because you can be sitting in a
relationship where even just having a conversation leaving it not
having felt safe, you'll feel drained. You'll feel exasperated, and
it's like, where, all of a sudden did this tire

(36:08):
come from? And it's like, because you're sitting at the
table with the wrong people. So I just had to
kind of overcome that. And then just even in the book,
I talked about some relationships that I delve into that
just weren't good for me, and I would you know,
you have your mom your dad tell you that ain't
that ain't the situation you need to be in, and
you'll pick up habits and then you'll take that baggage

(36:28):
to the promised place that you're supposed to be in,
and you'll then feel like, you know what, I'm inadequate
to be here because you were once upon a time
in this dysfunctional place that you were never supposed to
be in, and so then it just becomes a blame game.
It then weighs you down and then you start speaking
to yourself when it was just it was a poor
choice previously, so now we got to go through a
whole personal rehabilitation space, you know. So that's why it's

(36:52):
so important to me. I'm really big on that. And
then I believe in prayer. I believe in people praying
for you when you can't get a prayer through, you know.
It's it's moments when I was just broken and I
just didn't know what to say to God. But I
have friends. That was like, no, we about I'm about
to hold you were about the whole hands and we're
about to go before the Lord. So that's why finding
my tribe, that tribe is so important for me. That's

(37:14):
what it called the soul tribe. You gotta have your
soul tribe. Yeah, absolutely, we have more with Kiera ship
when we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club,
Good morning morning. Everybody is stj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne
the guy we are the breakfast Club was still kicking
it with Kiera, shared gospel singing and author yee. What
Another thing I thought was important as a message for
women is that you don't have to put your life

(37:35):
on hold waiting for a boyfriend or a husband to
do things and to do those things when that person
comes along. Can you expand on that as well, because
clearly now you're married, but you went through a lot
of frogs before you got to your prince for sure,
frauds um. But I kept waiting, like I have been
blessed to work and go out of the country, and

(37:57):
I'm like, oh, I gotta wait, you know, to go
to pay with this significant other or I gotta wait
to go to Dubai with this significant other. And after
a while I was like, you know what, if I'm
going that way, we're about to make some stops, especially
because the trip it's cheaper. While I'm already over there,
you know, so I'm about to wait for nobody else.
And then in that space that I was in, I

(38:18):
would have probably had to cover the expenses myself or whatever.
So I think that it's so important because one thing
that I did wrong was I made a boyfriend or
I gave a boyfriend wife like tendencies, if that makes sense. Yeah,
my father told me before Kiera, you have to understand
that it's okay to date. And I think Steve Harvey
wrote a book Think like a act like a lady,

(38:40):
Think like a man. My Nanna gave me that book
because they were all looking like, it's okay for you
to play the game. You don't gotta be a whore,
but you can play the game. And so he said,
the rue word of dating is that I get the
information you need and just play the game. So that's
what I had to learn, rather than I thought I
was entering into covenant with people that weren't giving me
some thing promising for a lifetime, you know, it was

(39:02):
just temporary. So those are the things that I had
to adjust to say, you know what, I'm gonna do
my thing. I'm gonna live my life. I'm not waiting
on nobody. If I get a trip to South Africa,
I'm extending the trips, not trying to get home to
a boyfriend as if he's my husband, you know, or
worried about what he's gonna do. So those were the
things that I had to learn. When it comes to
that chapter successfully single, I wonder if all that stuff

(39:23):
happens is naturally though, right, because it's like, you don't
want to practice bad habits. So if you're in a
relationship with somebody, I'm probably gonna do some husband like things,
and you might do some wifelike things. That's how you
determine whether or not you want to be a husband
and wife with this person. For sure. Yeah, but I
think for me, I'll be honest, being in a relationship
and doing wifelike things, it clouds your judgment because you're

(39:47):
wanting marriage with that person and you're not seeing the
red flags. I'll speak for myself. So it was a
lot of red flags that I was ignoring because I
wanted a certain thing. But if a man doesn't want
it with you, or if even if somebody else doesn't
want a long lasting relationship, and that could just be
with friendships, it can't just be you. We know what
it feels like to be one sided, you know. Um So,

(40:09):
I think it's okay to dive in compromise, make sacrifices,
but make sure you're making sacrifices for somebody that's gonna
give it back in return. It could be sex in
that clouded my judgment, you know. And I think too
it speaks to I talked about in the book doing
things God's way. I saw why I needed to do
it his way because I was making decisions off of

(40:31):
how he made me feel versus what it could have
been in the future. So I was making a decision
off of a temporary experience or just you know, how
he laid me out. But it wasn't You ain't gonna
be able to get me through when it comes to
establishing life or establishing legacy. Um. And And another thing
that I noticed is that I wasn't looking at the

(40:51):
person that I was dating saying do I want my
children to be like this person. It was more so
this this feels good, you know, if it was great,
So my emotions were wrapped up into a different place
rather than actually making life decisions. What about living together?
A lot of people will say, well, I don't want
to get married until we live together. How do I
know I even want to spend life with this person?

(41:14):
You know, talk about why you think that's not a
good idea. Yeah, so I will say that I was
guilty of that for some time, you know, and even
while saying, you know that I'm living this way, and
I think there's a such thing like my husband has
shown me that there's a way to spend time with
each other and do it with boundaries. I think it's

(41:37):
just knowing your boundaries. If you're saying you're gonna live
like one thing like my husband really helped me. I
thought I was living saved and living for the lord
and to my husband came with a different standard. But
he showed me that there is a such way to
dive into a relationship, to go deeper and to get
the depth of that person. But to respect your boundaries.
Don't act like they're not there. You know, after a

(42:00):
certain hours you get hot in your drawers. So step
back and say, you know what, Okay, I'm gonna be
honest with myself. You know, I think I will say
I've gotten into spaces where I just wasn't honest with myself,
and then I would go and consult with everybody else
about my life. So then I was living with the
opinions of everyone else but my truth. And so I

(42:21):
think that that is you can get to know somebody
and you can spend time with them. Um. So I'll
stop there because I don't want to say too much,
but it's a way to do it. For sure. What
did your parents your daddy say about you shocking up
in particular? He disapproves of it. Um, disapproves of one
hundred percent. Not his thing. Yeah, that's what they about. Now.

(42:43):
How you let Nick Cannon ill? Seen you? How do
you say it again? Seen you? How did I let
Nick Cannon? I'll sing? Um, Nick Cannon is incredible. So
I just had to let him his thing. I was
completely blown away at the fact that he could actually

(43:04):
play in sing. First of all, I'm joking, I know, okay,
I'm just making sure she said I know, Yeah, I know, clearly.
But it was special. It was fun. Um. You know,
I thought only to Nick was acting um and to
see that we kind of come from similar backgrounds, it
was really inspirational. I heard he asked the rapper on

(43:26):
the record, and you told him, no, no, that is
none of that ain't true. Told him that his raps
ain't nothing but the devil. Is that true? It's true.
I support Nick Cannon, that's my man. How did the
collaboration coming about? Like? What was that about? Um? Nick
reached out and that was it. It was simple, and
I came running like for sure, I want to do it, um,

(43:47):
and that it was that easy. All right, Well, don't movie.
We have more with Kiera shit when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ
Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast
Club was still kicking it with Kiera shared gospel sing
it in the author Charlomag, You know, I meant that
as Bishop Jake's this and Sarah Robbins this last week.
But do you think that people realizing that the Bible

(44:09):
wasn't was written by like people that were oppressing us?
Do you think that's one of the reasons people are
getting turned off from the from the Bible. Ask that
question on my time please, people. You think people are
getting turned off from the Bible because they know that
the oppressors actually wrote those scriptures, because it's a lot
of stuff in the Bible that's oppressor right, like you know, homosexuality,

(44:30):
things in regard to raise the portrayal of women. So
you think that's one of the reasons people are getting
turned off from the Bible. I think it could be.
I'm all into information and being knowledgeable. I wonder if
our generation are too grown for their own good, if
that makes sense. So that's all I can say there,

(44:51):
But if it's inspired by God, I'm a believer and
I've seen God's word really liberate me and bring me answer,
so I can only speak from that space. But I
do think that there are some peers of mind who
just dive into stuff that they don't even understand, but
try to use it to their advantage, if that makes sense.

(45:12):
Got And and to add to that being too grown
for your own good. The Word even says, and I
found it to be true, that in order to enter
into the Kingdom, you have to take on the heart
of a child, innocence pure, you know, seeking the opportunity
to see the light. And I think that because we
consume so much dark, whether it's through our music, through

(45:34):
what we see in our timeline, it can kind of
give you a blur when you actually have the truth
right there at hand. You know, the truth can come
from a liar, but that doesn't because it's coming from
a liar, that doesn't mean that it's not the truth
that's right. So I would say that's my answer. No,
that makes perfect sense. That's I can look at that
in so many different ways. That's what I always said

(45:54):
about you know, somebody like DMX like that brother was
annoying it. Yes, but you would not recognize God in
him if you're busy looking, uh, looking for God in
places you believe God should be and people you think
God should be. Absolutely, I think it was a prayer.
I think I saw like ditty and I think it
was like a read something. It was a concept, yes,

(46:17):
And they were in the back praying, and I actually
felt the spirit of God while TMX was praying. So
I agree with you one, and I think that there's
a possibility that so many of us may have an
anointing and we just may be completely oblivious of it,
if that makes sense. And because like we were talking
about the squad go or the tribe, if you don't

(46:39):
have people to tell you you're anointed, and it's just
certain things you can't do, you know, are as certain
places you can't sit in. Um, because the anointing is
something we can't see. So it has everything to do
with spirituality. So we got to be with our a
game on understanding that the adversary is out there to
get you to destroy you. UM. So I think I

(47:00):
agree with you. Now, let's talk about the metamorphosis of
relationships for you. How does celibacy contribute to you being
able to find the right person? Can you talk about that?
Because a lot of times our vision is getting clouded
by other things when we're trying to be in a relationship. UM,
it means everything to me. So I'll speak to my
husband and I. UM. Of course, we made some mistakes,

(47:23):
but once we got for real and we said, okay,
we're gonna stick to this. Talking about the boundary that
I was telling you about earlier, my husband was I
wanted to jump his bones. I wanted to I'm gonna
be honest and I'm sure some people were like you,
but it's my truth. But I can say that I

(47:44):
saw God change my life through him loving my soul
and my spirit more than just my body. So I
saw my husband say I care about your soul. I
care about you know when you're out there saying that
this is your truth, but you come back and you
live another way. He wanted to contribute to me in
a totally different way than just making me feel good.

(48:05):
And then it also allowed me to be stable mentally.
So celibacy definitely contributed to a pure relationship. It allows
us to develop our communication skills, our way of understanding,
understanding too, a different perspective and knowing that when you
come together, it's not just some two individuals come together,
but you're bringing their life, like everything that they've gone through.

(48:28):
You're bringing all of that together, and so how are
you going to build a home. So for me, celibacy
contributed to that. It even contributed to our prayer life.
So now I mean I can say I'm seeing things
in the future because of the prayer life that I've
been able to have with my husband, and now I'm
able to respect him differently when he gives me. You

(48:48):
know a note, I can listen better because I can
trust your judgment. And then I'm not calling Chase and
trying to figure out, you know, what's going on because
I felt like, because you're honest with me, and because
you show that you can keep yourself together with me,
because I I'll stop there. I gotta be careful what
I gotta because you showed me that you can keep
it together. I trust that you can keep it together

(49:09):
when my eyes aren't on you. So celibacy has contributed
to in so many ways. And I really can say
that I've done it the complete opposite of what God
said to do. And then with my husband, I've done
it his way and I've seen it just changed my life.
I'm sorry to start crying, but yeah, that's what you mean. Together.

(49:30):
I'm gonna I gotta tell my boyfriend we're gonna switch
back to celibacy. How he reacts? What do you mean
when you said you had to keep it keep or
he showed you that he could keep it together, but
you try to set him up. You had like a
girl try to hollow him or no no no no
for her? Yes with me, like my husband is very attractive.
I love him, and I love um. I think for

(49:52):
me the faith piece and his integrity, so it makes
me want to jump on him more. Um and to
see that he's so unimpressionable. So that's what I mean,
Like he could give it together, he could control the room,
he could tell me no and and and he just
had it got it. What is marriage though, like when
we're talking about because this is like back in the day,
there was no such thing as marriage. So if you

(50:14):
had that attraction towards that man and he had it
towards you, when y'all had a bond, yeah, y'all could
jump each other's bones, Like what is matter? Like? What
is it just a ceremony? Like you really think you're
going to hell because you had a little premarital sex.
So I don't think it's just you're going to hell
because you had a little premarital sex. But I do
believe it's a part of the principles of living out
the blessing or the blessed life. And even again, I

(50:38):
think you know how our parents used to tell us,
don't do that or else this is gonna happen. I
feel like the relationship with God is it's um. How
can I say this, I'll just say it's important to
live the way he's saying and trust what he's saying
because it contributes to the future that you don't see.
It contributes to the days that you don't see. So

(50:58):
for me, it's get what you're saying, and I get
the concern that maybe others have, but I would. I
don't know if that answers the question Charlotte Magne, But well,
how can we beat ourselves up over like the whole
sex pre marital sex thing in the Bible, but not
over something like pork because you tell us not deep pork,
our shellfish. Yeah, and tell us not dat shellfish. We

(51:18):
can just pray over that and everything's cool. Why why
do we do that ourselves? I think it's because we
accept the tradition in not diving into the relationship. So
for me, this once upon a time was just religion
and just a learned behavior until I began to read
and learn. You know, like I can go into a
classroom and take everything that the students and the teachers

(51:38):
are talking about, but I can come out with a
completely different, different understanding until I actually read the textbook.
So for me, it's almost like being in a relationship.
You don't know me if you only took me out
or treated me as a one night stand. You know
me when you date me and you take time with me.
So I think that that is it's a lack of time,

(51:59):
you know, with learning about the faith, rather than just
listening to people saying don't touch the stove because it's hot. No,
if you go close enough to the stove, you feel
that there's a heat that your skin can't take, rather
than just saying oh. And I think that it even
speaks to the generations that we've come from, where it's
like one generation did things just because somebody told them
not to. But I think we are becoming a generation

(52:21):
where we're diving into it. So I think it's just
a matter of learning and understanding. I would say, do
you eat pork. I don't eat pork as much as
I do now that I understand it. Oh, So at
the time, you didn't understand the scripture when it says,
think with Deuteronomy fourteen eight, don't do not eat pork,
don't even touch the flesh of a dead pain. You
didn't understand this. I didn't. I thought that it was

(52:42):
just an old practice like before I was just reading
the Bible, like, okay, that was just days story. I
didn't want it. I didn't want to body tell me
put down no baking. Yeah. Absolutely, So even to that though,
I am working on my temple. So I'll go back
and forth. I'll do like a vegan diet. I'll be
a vegetarian one week and then next year I'm a pscytarian,

(53:04):
and then one week I'm just saying, oh, I don't
eat meat, but I eat fish and bacon, you know.
So yes, it's like which one is it? So, um,
I think it's a matter of learning, evolving understanding, because um,
there's a scripture where Jesus said I didn't come to
do away with the lab but I came to fulfill it.
So I think for me, I'm still trying to understand

(53:24):
that part, like, well, did you give me the opportunity
to still be able to eat baking or is that
just you know what I'm saying. So it's all just
figuring it out. I'm just using that because those are
the things in the Bible that did tell us not
to do. Those are the things that we do on
the on the regular, you know what I mean. But
scramps man, it's special. But the other thing is UM.

(53:47):
You asked about why do we um focus on the
sex out of wedlock versus the pork? I think too,
it has everything to do with um condemnation versus conviction.
People who have a relation and ship with God. They're
not just pointing at the problem and not giving you
a solution. And I feel like condemnation causes you to

(54:07):
beat up on yourself, whereas conviction from the Holy Spirit
has you to just deal with it differently. If that
makes that makes perfect? Well, can we get into a
song before we get up out of here? You want
to introduce a song. Let's let the world hearing a
song if they haven't heard any of your music. Yes,
of course we can play this song we just talked about. Grace. Yes, yes,
all right, Well let's get into Grace and we appreciate
you for joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning,

(54:30):
everybody is kJ envy? That was well, that was Kara shared. Yeah,
that was a thank you called Grace. Right, Yes, it's
called Grace. She has a book out called Big, Bold
and Beautiful, Owning the woman God made you to be.
Thank you care for joining us? This morning, pleasant conversation.
It was absolutely let's get to the rumas. Let's talk
d MX. Listen, oh got breakfast club? All right. DMX's

(55:03):
family is warning people they are not strapped for cash
and they are not asking for the public to chip
in for a funeral expenses. If you see anything online
saying otherwise, it is not true. There's been a lot
of rumors going around, a lot of people trying to benefit,
but just so you know, nobody is raising money to
help pay for everything. So if you see any of
those campaigns, do not donate money. They are completely bogus.

(55:27):
They're not connected to the family at all. There's also
been rumors that Jay Z and Beyonce bought DMX's masters
for ten million dollars. That's not true either. Listen, first
of all, if you think rough riders and Swiss beats
and deaf jam, not at all of them here. If
you think they're not about to send DMX off like
the King to God, he was y'all out of y'all

(55:49):
damn mind. You think DMX need money for a funeral,
knock it off. Yeah, no, it's it's it's what their
plan is gonna be amazing It's just gonna be huge
come moment for the disgusting people that are starting these
fake accounts and trying to benefit off of that. Disgusting.
But I know people might be looking and see things

(56:10):
and think they're doing something positive by giving money for it,
but no, it's not real. Right all right now, I
told you guys, I did this sit down interview with
Quando Rondo. We were actually in New Orleans when we
did this, and some of the things that he talked about,
and this is just part, a small part. We actually
talked for like a couple of hours. But one of
the things that he talked about was, of course the

(56:31):
night of November sixth, that's the night that King Von
was shot and killed, the tragic night that that happened,
and Kwando Rondo was giving his side of the story,
which he has not done previously. He says that he
believed that he had a good relationship with Dirk. You know,
they had songs together. He thought they were cool. He
didn't even know there were any issues with Little Dirk
and King Vaughan. Here's what he said. People be saying,

(56:53):
like people chase a clown and stof how man like
rich I got three follow was like, for my understanding, ma'am.
It was a love really it was. I had a
relationship with Big brou not I want to say his name,
not you feel me on my album. Dude never charged

(57:14):
me for a feature, no one. He could have liked,
Big bro legend all right. He was talking about Little
Dirk there because Little Dirk was on his album and
he didn't know that there was any any problems with him. Now,
Krnda Ronda also talks about the night and all the
incidents that led up to him even being in the
parking lot that night. You know, he had filmed the
video that day. There's a lot more behind the story

(57:35):
of what he was doing before he got to that
parking lot. But he was not trying to go out.
His friends actually went in the club and he stayed
outside in the car. He wanted to just go to
sleep in the car, and Little Tim, his boy, was
staying outside with him because he didn't want him to
stay by himself. Now here's what he said happened. I
tell my brother, I say I'm not going in the club.
That's a little break going ate fre you a little

(57:57):
female or whatever, because I'm like, you got fifteen minutes
because and I'm depping. We were we were about to
go to the house. My brother said, I'm not about
to let you sit in. No, come and go to sleep. Now,
I'm about to walk off and go stand by the
other individuals that I came with. I see a group
of people coming. I'm about to let these people walk

(58:18):
past me. I'm not about to try to go through
these people and nothing like that. Next thing, you know,
and he hit me. It's like I had an out
of body experience. I hused to believe he spoke to
him for two hours. I just don't see it. Dad.
I mean, we talked about a lot of different things too.
Though I don't know if you know anything about Kandarana.
He's from Savannah and he's had a really oh he

(58:41):
has a he's had a very challenging upbringing. Let's just
say that if you hear about how he was raised,
and you know him growing up and foster care and
end and out of Julie from when he was young,
and a lot of things that he's gone through. And
we were talking about he's not even supposed to be
here right now. Just the success that he's had, that's far.
It's been a challenging time for him. Man, even with
all of this. You know, clearly he didn't go out

(59:03):
to the club, but the intentions of anything like this happening,
He wasn't even trying to be out, and so it
was just a really tragic night. But he did want
to be able to tell his side of the story.
It's just a very serious game. So just be careful.
I got a bunch of text yesterday, be like, you
can't like what's going on? You're good in Chicago. I'm like,
what are you talking about? And then I guess you
released your interview. But just be careful something I guess

(59:26):
because she did the interview when she was interviewing Kondo,
and you know it's it's there from Chicago. I don't know,
but just be very careful everybody out there. Hopefully they
spat that, you know, I mean, you don't want to
play with them, them young boys. Yeah, but you can't
get mad at the reporter or the journalists personality because
they did an envy in an interview. I haven't seen
the whole interview with no nobody did an envy, but

(59:46):
got what you just said. I said an interview crazy?
Think about doing you. I just don't like the back
and forth that's been going on. So it was my
hope that he would be able to tell side of
the story because I don't believe, you know, from what
he's told me, and we spoke before the interview, and
I'm good friends with his manager, Fee, that's my guy.
I don't believe that he had any ill intentions at all,

(01:00:08):
and I don't think that's what happened. I think it
was a tragic night. It was awful what happened, and
he wanted to be able to explain it from his
point of view because he was there. A lot of
people are speculating, but they weren't there. You know, Yeah,
I don't know nothing about this situation. But also will say,
you know, in regards to they're back and forth, there
isn't nothing you can do about that. Somebody died, you

(01:00:29):
know what I'm saying. There's gonna always be a back
and forth between them. And even in this interview, he
spoke very respectfully when he spoke of Van and Dirk,
so you know, and a lot of things that he
talked about later on. He talks about obviously he's the
first artist that signed to NB A young boy. He
talks about their relationship and you know, you'll see it's
very interesting though what he had to say. So and
he's only twenty one years old. All right, that is

(01:00:51):
your rumor report. All right, thank you, missie Charlomage. Who
giving that donkey too? Man? I need Officer Kim Potter
to come to the front of the congry gate. We'd
like to have a word with her this morning. And
I think President Biden needs to come to the front
of the congregation too. We need to have a world
with him as well. All right, we'll get to that.

Well at Sharon Dunkey Today for Tuesday, April thirteenth, goes
to Officer Kim Potter, a twenty six year veteran of
the Brooklyn Center Police Department twenty six years. She also
serves as police union president. Also sharing in this, Heahart
this morning is the forty six president of the United
States of America, the best and only option available to

(01:02:18):
the worst president of all time, hence why he won.
Joe Biden, Oh, we have a lot to unpack here
this morning, but not really because we've been here before.
America and I spell America a m R I KKKA
And I'm not talking about Kim Cortney and Chloe Are
Kim Colly and Kendall? I'm talking about ku klux crackers. Oh,
this is a white supremacist country. Black people have been

(01:02:40):
historically the lowest cast. The dominant white cast knows this,
and they always remind us of sucks he there's a
reality show that we all live in called Being Black
in America. So I may call it a dramedy, definitely,
a thriller, absolutely a horror movie. Never a lighthearted affair,
because the things that happened to us in this country
have us walking around with heavy hearts constantly. What did
the late great James Ball wouldn't say? To be a

(01:03:03):
negro in this country is to be a negro in
this country, and to be relatively conscious is to be
in a rage almost all the time. Yeah, I feel
your great ancestor Ball. And that's why I'm intentional about
not taking too many things seriously, because I have to
laugh to keep from crying. I've been getting told all
my life. I turned everything into a joke. Yes I do.
It's a form of self care, Okay, a defense mechanism

(01:03:24):
of starts to protect us from the inevitable, the inevitable
trauma that we will witness, which keeps this show Being
Black in America perpetually, perpetually in a series of new reruns. Okay, Oh,
it's no laughing matter. You're not how hard it is
to chuckle when nothing is funny, but you have to
laugh at the absurdity of it all. Case in point
this situation, would Officer Kim Potter, your uncle, Charlotte, brother Lenard.

(01:03:47):
I get on this radio and I tell y'all things,
and you may or may not take me serious because
of my list. But one thing I've been telling y'all is,
nobody plays dumb like a white person trying to deny injustice.
I repeat, nobody plays dumb like a white person trying
to deny injustice. Your latest example, Officer Kim Potter, not
a rookie, has worked for the department for twenty six years,

(01:04:09):
twenty six and she's headed a police union. It's playing dumb.
She protests in Minnesota were doing what they were supposed
to be doing, and that's being angry. Okay, raising hell
in a region, as the New York Times stated, in
a region already at the center of a national reckoning
over police officers use of force against black people. New
York Times, we need stronger language than us to force. Okay,

(01:04:30):
let's say, in a region already at the center of
a national reckoning over police officers killing black people for
no damn reason. Yeah, I like that, because where Dante
Right was killed by Kim Potter ten miles away. Prosecutors
in the courtroom completed the questioning of their witness of
another killer, Cop Derek Chavin. Okay, very important to keep
reminding y'all that he's the man we saw kill George Floyd. Now,

(01:04:52):
Kim Potter has killed Dante, right and is playing dumb
to deny injustice. How is she playing dumb? Well, let's
go to CNBC with Shepherd Smithfolter report police just miles
from where George Floyd died, a police officer shot and
killed a young, unarmed black man, reigniting outrage and inflaming tensions. Minneapolis,
of course, was already on edge as the nation watches

(01:05:14):
the murder trial of Derek Chauvin. The police chief in
Brooklyn Center says cops pulled over twenty year old Dante
Wright for expired tags and tried to arrest him for
an outstanding warrant. There was a struggle, The police chief
says one of the officers pulled out her gun by mistake,
thinking it was her taser, and fired. Well, the protesters

(01:05:47):
are back out on the streets tonight after a night
of unrest in Brooklyn Center last evening. People are angry.
The explanations that the police gave didn't sit. Well. We
are outside of the police headquarters and you can see
it's become a fortress last a lot of violence, a
big confrontation. The police chief said they were being attacked
by bottles and ricks and all kinds of objects, and

(01:06:08):
that's why they retaliated. That's why they fired back with
tear gas, flash bangs and also rubbert bullet. Bottles and
bricks still better than bullets. Okay, Kim Potter, twenty six
years on the force and she doesn't know the difference
between a gun and a taser. Let me tell y'all
something because you all be prisoners at the moment. This excuse,
this lie, it's used quite often. Okay, it's been used

(01:06:29):
before twenty nineteen. The police officer in Pennsylvania who never
got identified because charges weren't filed because he shot a
man named Brian Rilling. That officer said he must stoo
kiss gun for a taser. Hell, it's happened in Minnesota
before two thousand and two. A Rochester police officer who
wasn't identified, thought he was reaching for a stun gun
and pulled his forty glock and severely injured a man
named Christopher Attack, Okay refugee from Sudan. No criminal charges

(01:06:52):
were filed against that cop. Tolsa, Oklahoma, Robert Bates, white
volunteer sheriff's deputy, shot and killed ano on black man
named Eric Harris, who was being held down down by
other officers. Bates apologized for killing Harrison, was sent us
to four years in prison, and Tosa County had to
pay six million to Harris's estate to settle a federal
civil rights lawsuit should have came about his pension, you know,

(01:07:13):
if he eventually got one. But all of those people,
you know, mistook their guns. No, I'm stick there guns
for tases and tastes for guns. I don't know. They
mistook there tasers for guns. Whatever it was, Okay, they
claimed it was a mistake. And oh, let's not forget
the most famous case, at least of my lifetime. Y'all.
Remember a young brother named Oscar Grant, right, A killer
cop named John Hannes Mercelli testified that trial that he

(01:07:35):
feared Oscar Grant had a weapon, so he reached for
his stun gun, but mistakenly pulled his forty child as well,
and he shot Oscar Grant. Well, Oscar Grant was laying
face down in this situation. Johannes Marcelli was convicted of
involuntary manslaughter and sent us to two years in prison,
and the Department paid two point eight million to Oscar
Grant's daughter and her mother Pennies for your life. Now,
Robert Bates, who killed Eric Harris, when it happened to him,

(01:07:57):
he said, this has happened a number of times around
the country. You must believe me. It can happen to anyone. Sure,
maybe I don't know, but it shouldn't. Okay. How is
their mild practice in every professional industry except law enforcement?
What's the definition of mild practice? Improper? Illegal? Are negligent
professional activity or treatment? Police officers are rendering professional services

(01:08:20):
which are resulting in injury, loss okay, loss of life
that is, and damage? Yet they rarely, if ever get
held accountable. If I can kill someone and just say
my back, okay, how do I or anyone else watching
this situation learn their lesson once again? Yeah, have to
get rid of qualified immunity because these officers need to
be sued directly, Okay. It needed to be their money
and their pensions that contribute to these large payoffs from

(01:08:42):
the state and civil suits and the threat of jail time.
When police officers are interacting with civilians, the two words
that need to be on their minds is pensions in prison.
If I know as a cop, I could lose my
pension are go to prison, I'd act rate. But the
reason they will never act rate is because leadership in
our country plays dumb okay. Leadership in our country downplays
and minimizes these state sanctioned killings of black people. Exhibit

(01:09:06):
a President Joe Biden, leader of the Free World, vice
president to the first black president, picked a black woman,
woman of color to be his vice president. Friend of
black people, cornpop, okay, mouse and all of them. Was
asked about Kim Potter shooting Dante right, and this is
what he said. Wasn't an accident? Was it intentional? That
remains to be determined by a full bawn investigation. But

(01:09:28):
in the meantime, I want to make it clear again
there is absolutely no justification for looting, no justification for violence.
Oh God peaceful protests understand them, but we do know
that the anger, pain and trauma the resist the black
community in that environment is real it's serious and it's consequential,
President Biden, it should be. There's absolutely no justification for

(01:09:51):
police brutality, no justification for police violence against unarmed black
people in this country. Why do we always call for
the people to remain peaceful? Why do we all it's
called for the people to remain calm, President Biden, cops
of the ones not being peaceful, Cops of the ones
not remaining calm. If the protests aren't peaceful, whose fault
is that? Okay, violence be guests, violence, and police officers
were held responsible for these actions, and maybe the protests

(01:10:13):
would be peaceful. But we know in this episode of
America with Three Ks that we've seen a million times
that regardless of who's in the White House, nothing's going
to change. Okay, what happened to the George Floyd policing?
All the Democrats? Okay, who are championing this? Vice President
Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, y'all should be front instent of
pushing this right now in colonies, calling these cops in
their behavior out. I don't want to hear President Biden

(01:10:34):
saying the question is was it an accident? Was it intentional?
That remarriage to be determined by a full blown investigation.
Blah blah blah. President Biden stopped white man in me. Okay,
I'm telling you, white people are having innate ability, especially
white men and positions of power, having innate ability to
play dumb when it comes to racial injustice. And boy,
they give each other the benefit of the doubt and

(01:10:54):
grace every single time. Look, I know, policing, it's still local.
DA's got to do the work, and I know Kim
Potter is a local issue, but the George Floyd Policing
Act is necessary, and at least it's something that's all
I want at this point, something, somebody somewhere, I gotta
show me something, because the only thing gonna happen to
Keim Potter is this will be labeled an accident, No
charges will be filed, She'll be fired and moved to

(01:11:15):
a nearby jurisdiction and will not have to face any
consequences for her malpractice. And people like President Biden will
continue to show more concern for buildings than we the people,
or should I say we the property, because as I
told y'all yesterday during Donkey Today, this is what black
people are in this country. Property and in these cities
like Minnesota, they make more money off those buildings that
are property than they do black people there. Four black

(01:11:36):
folks are disposable. And that's why President Biden will say
it's no justification for looting, rather than saying it's no
justification for killing us and Joe. You can't say you
understand the trauma the black community is facing. When you
minimize that trauma to looting, you know that's not what's happening.
Black people are fed up, angry and have every right
to be. My therapist says, feel your fails, okay, And

(01:11:57):
black people, women and men, you have every right to
be angry and every right to express that anger. Not
coming off as angry has gotten us nowhere. Okay, Yes
we angry, Yes we pissed off. And if you are
a human who cares about other humans in this country,
you would be angry with us, okay. As Queen Tamika
Mallory says, we don't need allies, we need accomplices. Everybody

(01:12:19):
needs to be angry. Everybody needs to get angry if
you truly care about other humans in this on this planet,
because if you are silent about your pain, they'll kill
you and say you enjoyed it. That's Zora Neil Hurston.
By the way, please give Kim Potter and President Joe
Biden the biggest he hall. All right, please please. I

(01:12:42):
know President Joe Biden as a sitting president. Don't audit me. Okay,
I don't even extra artists calling out a sitting president. Okay,
thank you? Yeah, all right, well just remember that was Lenard,
not Rashawn. All right now, let's open up the phone lines.
We ain't got much time. How do you feel? Let's
still wellness check? How do you feel? Let's talk about
what's five eight five one on five one will take

(01:13:06):
your course when we come back. What are your thoughts,
what are your opinions? Let's go the breakfast club or
anything that you do. I don't give a punt about
you or anything that you do. I don't give a
I don't give an I don't give a I don't
give a about you or anything that you don't give
about you or anything that you do. It's topic time

(01:13:34):
called eight hundred and five eight five one oh five
one to join it to the discussion with the breakfast club.
Talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee,
Charlomagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
You just joined us. We're just doing a wellness check man.
We're opening up the phone lines and having a conversation.
Just how you feeling out there with everything that's going

(01:13:54):
on in the last couple of days. Yeah, I mean
it's heavy, right. You see all the trauma. You see
the trauma from you know, watching m the lieutenant, you know,
get get get get assaulted by those police officers. I
forgot what state that was in. What was that at Virginia? Right?
You know what I mean? Um? And you know watching
officer Kim Potter killed Dante, right, Like, it's a lot
of trauma being passed through the mid watching that happen,

(01:14:20):
still in the middle of the Derek chov And trial,
so you know he's gonna do it well in his
check man. See, how are people feeling out there? All? Right? Well? Hello,
who's this? Hello? Good morning? My name is Megan. Hey Megan,
good morning. How are you feeling today? Megan? Honestly, after
last summer, I thought I'd get over this trauma that
I'm having about being black in America, But at this
point it's just getting worse. Some worried. I'm getting tired

(01:14:41):
of everything that's been going on. And I live in
the South, so I see it a lot more than often,
a lot more that's not publicized, and I'm over it.
I tried to put myself in therapy. That's not helping.
I'm a social worker. It's not helping me tell people
like it's okay one day, all the discussions are going
to change. I'm just gone. You know why. You know

(01:15:02):
why because we're in a perpetual time loop. We're in
a perpetual time loop of trauma. Like I call all
of this new reruns. It shows that we've seen before,
but it's new episodes of reruns. It's weird, like being traumatizing. Yeah,
being black in America is such a uniquely traumatic experience

(01:15:22):
that only I think black people could could truly understand.
I think part of mine is too. It's like I'm
black and then I've had also the trauma of beings
in the Caribbean on Haitian, and like seeing anything that's
happened over and over again, even the something's going on
with Haiti right now, I don't feel like we've saved anywhere. Yeah,
white supremacy is a disease man, and James Baldwin said,

(01:15:44):
it's the best to be a Negro in this country,
and to be, you know, somewhat conscious is to be
in a constant state of age. That's very true. So
what she's feeling is absolutely accurate. It's okay to feel
like that. By the way, all right, thank you for
calling mamma. Hello, who's this? My name is anotherment? Hey, anamous,
how are you feeling. We can't see you. This is

(01:16:05):
the radio. You don't have to say anonymous. You can
just give a fake name. My name is Angie. How
are you doing, Hi, Angie, what's happening? My name is Michel.
How are you feeling? Angie? A little distraught today because
I'm on my way to court a civil commitment, which

(01:16:26):
means say, I'm going support to be told whether they're
not going to put me in a hospital or if
I'm going to continue out patients, because if some things
can happen pertaining to my job. So, uh, you know,
COVID with a rough year for everybody where I saw
at first not enough people cared about what was going
on within the people, and I got a little loud

(01:16:49):
and things kind of went upside down. I don't think
it's anything wrong with you getting a little loud. I
think that we need to get louder. I think that
the greatest, the great this trick that they've pulled on
us is telling us that they do things to trigger us,
do things to make us angry, and tell us that
we can't come off as angry. No get angry. Yeah,

(01:17:11):
I was told to be quiet and can you know,
not say certain things within the obseration that I had,
which was never a local county that I live in.
So you know, that caught a lot of problems for
me because telling someone that they needed to come back
to work after things happened in their life with it

(01:17:31):
with COVID going on, that was not good for me. Right, Well,
I'm sending you healing energy. I'm sending you healing energy.
Can I guess I'm sending it to your fake name
since you gave us a fake name, Angie, Angie, but
I'm sending you healing energy, Angie Fash your middle name. Okay,
don't give too much information, no, but I'm glad that

(01:17:54):
you're be able to call and express yourself. Sometimes people
need to just verbalize how they fail too that helps
a little. That's right, Well, thank you mama. All right,
Well eight hundred five eight five one o five one
call us let me know how you're feeling out there,
so wellness check this morning. It's the breakfast club. Go morning,

(01:18:17):
call me your opinions to the breakfast club topic. I
did five five one five one morning. Everybody is DJ
Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We're just doing a wellness check this morning, calling speaking
to everybody out there, seeing how you're feeling. Hello. Who's this? Hello?
This is y'all. Hey, how are you feeling today? Bro?

(01:18:40):
I just want to just a topic of officers getting
their guns from views with their tasers, Yes, sir, like
they need to do like an intelligent investigation. Do they wait?
Do the guns wait the thing? Are they on the
same side? Are the grip of sting? Do they release
from the hosts of things? There's a lot of puntions
that need to be asked on. How can an officer

(01:19:01):
who've been in the force for over twenty years confuse
their gun with their hazard? Is it bidding to be
possible to do that? Yes, situations. Haven't you been in
these situations before like thin like Beau can't happen, No,
you can't. It's malpractice. And like I said, you know,
law enforcement is the only place where you know there

(01:19:22):
is no consequences and repercussions to malpractice. It's like, really
the grip the same on the gun and the pa
they have to way different they do it. They do
it different. When you put the point you don't need that,
it looks different, like what are you looking at? Of
course they do pray for America. A M E R
I K k k A. I'm not praying for America.

(01:19:44):
I'm praying America get exactly what it deserves, okay, because
that's the only way things are gonna change. Things are
gonna change when everybody gets exactly what they deserve and
don't get it twisted the America guy that coming. Okay,
Rome has fallen, Ladies and gentlemen. Let's go to another caller. Hello,
who's this? This is Paige. Hey, good morning. How are
you feeling this morning? Good? How are you are you

(01:20:06):
really good? Are you really good? I'm okay, that's what
I want to hear. Feel your feels go. I mean,
she knew what she was doing it's modernate flavor basically.
I mean, they're just legally killing the whole Black comedians.
The community feels that way, feels that way, and don't
feel bad a percussion away with it, like I just

(01:20:28):
made a mistake. It was an accellent it was not
an accident, right, That's what I'm saying. Their excuses though,
is it was an accident, or they'll say like it's
your fault because you did this, and they try to
justify it. You could have video footage and everything in
audio and still somehow they're able to get away with it.
No repercussions, right, question, are you black or white? Man?

(01:20:49):
No end to this? Unless there's no end to this,
Like I feel like if George Floyd's killer does not
get any type punishment, then the whole world is going
to blow up. Like I'm so beyond there's no like
words like I'm shaking right now, like this this poor

(01:21:12):
man who just got shot for no reason, and there's
gonna be no justice for him. There is gonna be
no justice, there's no hope, there's no justice. You're you're white, right,
I'm make I'm Hispanic and white. Okay, Well, I mean listen,
I don't. I don't care the way because I'm happy,
because you know, we need all hands on deck. If
you're a human that cares about other humans, you know

(01:21:33):
we need each other right now. We need to like
we need accomplishes, not allies. And everybody has the right
to be angry, and everybody has a right to express
that anger. Because I keep quoting zor Neil Hurston because
it's true. If we're silent about our pain, they'll kill
us and say we enjoyed it. I mean, I had
just shown my ten year old children a little five
year old boy getting berated by cops to show them

(01:21:54):
you cannot trust these cops. I have to cry and
show them that you cannot trust God, like I have
to know that they're not in the world. I mean,
it's sad and it's scary. I mean, and like you said,
with anxiety, like with Charlemagne and you said earlier, I mean,
you don't know when it's coming from. You don't know
if if if you're nervous to let your kids go
to school because of mass shootings, you don't know if

(01:22:15):
if if you let your son drive because they're killing
on black men. You don't know if you can if
it's safe to take them to the mall. You know,
I mean, you just it's everything is so scary. Just
you just want to create your own fort and just
living and never leave like it's that scary. Pick your
own trauma. And why do I envision you building a
fort in your bedroom? And yeah, asking you what the

(01:22:35):
hell is your problem? Why why you do it in
my bedroom? Doesn't everything back when you build a fort?
Do you do it with pillows? What do you using
about me? And do you use the cushions, the cushions
on the couch. I used the cushions on the couch,
but those are the best. They stirty, They definitely stirty
it in pillows. What's the moral of the story, man?
Why else? I hate you? Man? Just letting people calling

(01:22:58):
and express themselves as a lot going on. Sometimes people
aren't able to verbalize that. Sometimes people don't even ask
you how are you doing? Yeah, I'll tell you them
all of the story, man, James Baldwin, Because everybody out
there needs to feel their fields. And if you feel angry,
that's perfectly fine. If you've got a lot of anxiety,
that's perfectly fine. Because James Baldwin said to be a
negro in this country, and to be relatively conscious is
to be in a rage almost all the time. All right, well,

(01:23:24):
we got rumors on the way, yes, and let's talk
about Drake. It looks like he'll be on the next
drink Chimps. I'm gonna tell you some things we do
know that we'll be addressed. All right, we'll get into
that next. It's the breakfast club, Go morning, the breakfast Club.
I've never met. This guy knows nothing about latinos. Bro.

(01:23:46):
You talk about traumas. Oh yeah, I'll be asking him
questions and he don't have no answers. He's fake. It's
all right, dad, We all to breakfast club. Let's get
to rumors. Let's talk to YOUMX. This is the rumor
report with angela way where looks like Nori might have

(01:24:10):
that sit down with Drake coming soon now. He said
he posted a picture with Drake. He said Champagne. Oh,
he said, you see my face and you know why
I'm here, Champagne Poppy. But who's who? Obio drink Champs
loading and then he puts certified love for boy loading.
A lot of people don't know. But I squashed the
beat between DMX and Drake through my boy forty. But
we will say that for drink Champs got a big

(01:24:31):
up Obio forty are mine and fancy. That's the fact.
Nori definitely uh smooth that over all. Right, So let's
revisit what exactly happened now. When DMX was on the
Breakfast Club in two thy twelve, I asked what he
thought about Drake. We were talking about a lot of
different artists naming people, and here's what happened. What about Drake? Drake? No,

(01:24:52):
I don't like anything about Drake. Mom. I don't like
his voice he talks about I don't see trying to
I don't he walks like nothing. I might just let
me shut out. I'm gonna stop right there. Have you
been converted to a Drake fan yet? No? What do
you think about the new Elia album now? Disrespectful like
like like like they don't even make sense, That's what

(01:25:14):
I'm saying, Like like you can't, you can't do it
like that. That's like wrong, man, Like I wish it
was like maybe seven years ago. Well, you know, catch
to beat him up. That was the first time we
interviewed DMX. In the second time we interviewed all right well,
and in twenty sixteen he changed his tune. That on
he had some more positive things to say. Listen to

(01:25:34):
what he said about Drake. You were a fan of
Drake at first. I did always say that he was
to tell delricous, but I was not a fan. I
was not, And another homely experience. Of course, we were like, yo,
you didn't like this dude for all the wrong reasons,
but you know there was other reasons. You know, we
were getting all that. But for him to take the
effort first to want to use the song I'm saying,

(01:25:56):
and then to be man enough to reach out and
make the calls soft man, that was a real move.
That's gonna make for a great Drink Champ story. And
I'm a person who feels like you have to have
at least a ten year career to be on Drink Champs.
Drake has that. So I would love to see Drake
drinking Virginia Black, which is his bourbon, and popping bottles
of Loyalty, which is Jay Prince's wine. I would love

(01:26:16):
to see him doing that on Drink Champs. And if
Drake does drink Champs, boy, I'm gonna have The Black
Effect and iHeartRadio promote that podcast like Oprah promoted her
sitting down with Megan Marcole and Harry Potter. What's his name?
His name is definitely Harry Potter, but we know he
mean yes And can I also say too that Nori
And I'm not saying this because he's my friend in
business partner. I'm saying this because it's true. Drink Champs

(01:26:39):
is the best platform for hip hop right now because
Nori and DJ Effin created a lane five years ago
to give OG hip hop artists a platform and it's
grown into something special and over the past I would
probably say a year, nobody's doing OG hip hop conversations
better than Drink Champs. Man not even close dropping the
clothesb Entreneuria in DJ every every morning to Morningay give

(01:27:03):
it up for Nori, Right, make sure you check out
Drink Champs on The Black Effect Guy Heart Radio podcast network.
All right now, ll cool J is not feeling the
fact that people are calling him the forefather of pop rap.
It was a whole discussion that was happening and LL

(01:27:25):
cool J said, me being called the forefather a pop
rap is very confusing. What the f are y'all talking
about So people were talking about I Need Love, and
they were saying that was like one of the beginning
songs of pop rap. Listen to it. I Need lab
in case you I don't know, but mainstream ago. Sometimes
I stay with the back of my mind and my

(01:27:48):
conscious call telling me I need a girl. First time,
I was like I need love, giggling about the games.
You're gonna take him up? And then you start sing,
wasn't I was on beat? You wasn't. First of all,
hip hop is pop culture, and it's been pop culture
for a long time. Pop culture is just short for popular.

(01:28:10):
So I Need Love was a very very popular record.
It's not a pop It's definitely not a pop sounding
record by any means. But I understand what people mean
when they say hip hop is pop culture. They didn't
know pop record. That wasn't a pop er. He was rapping.
It wasn't like all, I'm gonna do this record for
pop rad listen to anything that I said. Just no, no,
I didn't short for popular. Yeah, but hip hop has

(01:28:32):
been the most popular genre and culture for a long time. Yes,
it's not a pop They didn't mean it like that.
They meant pop sounding. You know they didn't. There's no
way they couldn't meant it like that. It just means
it crushed over to mainstream basically to be on the
pop charts as well. That's all by definition, but that's
not saying that hip hop and rap is not. That
is what is popular. Yes, it is. Hip hoop is
pop culture. Sorry, guys and gals, it is what it is,

(01:28:53):
all right. DJ Mustard is saying that his personal shoppers
stole over fifty thousand dollars from him and spent it
on bags, and he even posted a screenshot of a
conversation where she actually apologized to him and he added
her He said, Actionelle de Johan. We let her use
the stylist word so she could get business, but the
truth is she did nothing but shop. Today I found
out that she ran my credit cards up over fifty

(01:29:15):
k buying stuff for herself, persons, shoes, shades, and other stuff.
I'm hot and I'm only writing that so nobody else
deals with her. She's bad for business. I have all
the receipts to prove everything. I paid her more than
she was worth because I don't play with taking care
of people that do their jobs. He was paying her
six thousand per month, he said, and after calculating she
could have good and well wrapped up over one hundred

(01:29:35):
thousand and expenses, she ran up fifteen thousand and Louis
Vatan alone on herself except for some effing Instagram likes?
Can I play White Devil's advocate for just a second. Technically,
it's not like the personal shopper didn't do what you
paid her to do. Is it defined that personal shoppers
only buy stuff for you? Yes? It is, you dumbass, Yeah,

(01:29:59):
six tho yourself? Are you kidding me? Personal shopper meant
for herself personally, That's what I'm saying. Is it defined
that I'm only personally shopping for you? Yes? In writing
that part of the job description, you just said personal shopping.
I did some personal shopping that bought me a few things. No,
he can't do that, not if I pay you know?

(01:30:21):
All right, Well that that is your rumor report, all right.
Six thousand dolls is a lot of month to go
a lot of money a month to go personal shopping
for somebody, because you probably had money to do other stuff.
And you know, on the scamming lines, I saw that
this stripper had posted that she was upset that Usher
didn't pay the strippers with real money. He used some usherbucks,
some Usher bucks, and she said the money does not

(01:30:43):
have a trade in value whatsoever. Don't y'all think he
should be blasted on social media for this? She said
she danced all night and Usher through that. But it
looks like the story is a little different. I seen
multiple other people saying that what really happened was he
did pay money, and he was throwing money all night.
But somebody left the Usher Bucks as like kind of
a joke and it's something that he's doing to promote

(01:31:05):
his Vegas residency. And he just threw out some usher bucks.
They threw out some usher bucks, that something Charlomagne would do.
First of all, God bless that savage name Usher Raymond.
The fourth drop on the clue bombs him, and the
fourth I don't see anything wrong with what he did.
You have to know your worth. What what's what's knowing
your worth more than having your own currency? Okay, may
not mean anything to any mercy, it's not worth nothing.

(01:31:27):
Who says who? It's all about what you put value
on Okay, stay shut up. It's savings treat these ushbucks
the way you would treat a two dollar bill. Hold
on to it. Maybe it could be see come on
then you then you go. Thank you. NFT go ahead
and make one hundred and sixty thousand off of these ushbucks.
You play around. If you want, you take the mushbucks

(01:31:48):
to a store Louis Vauton, Gucci or any of the
other stores. You get arrested. Don't even take it to McDonald's.
Wherever you go, dollar store, You're gonna get arrested with
the mush want I really, I'm gonna be honest with you.
I really need Usher to do a versus. I need
somebody to stay up up and get that smoke, get
that slang that Usher Raymond is gonna give them because
I am so tired of y'all disrespecting Usher Raymond the
Fourth when it gets a million asher box. That's right, y'all,

(01:32:09):
keep backing like Usher ram In the fourth, not a
whole legend, a whole gold out here with a with
a with a damn near unbeatable catalog. But who said
he's not you? I did not, Yes, you did. You
told me Chris Brown could get out your anniverses. When
did you hear that? All right? Said? It depends on
who the song is up against whose I don't share

(01:32:32):
what song you play. Ushers got great weapons, and I
need him to get his flowers because y'all be disrespecting
Usher the fourth way too much. I like he not
the US H R R A Y M O N
d R Yeah exactly, all right, all right, well that's

(01:32:53):
your rumor report to mix this up. Next, it's the
Breakfast Club on to revote. We'll see him out Breakfast Club.

I always talk about the car show. I'm just so
excited about all you guys supporting me and I just
want to say thank you. Also, what we're doing now
is you know people ask how I'm gonna get all
the cars down to Atlanta. We do have a lot

(01:33:35):
of cars in Atlanta, and people are submitting their cars
and you can submit your car if you want to
put your car in the car show. But we're actually
doing a rally to the car show. So we're driving
from New York. We're starting off at the radio station,
and we're driving to Atlanta two days. So it's gonna
be a lot of fun. If you want to drive
from you know, hang with us rally to the car show.
It's gonna be a lot of fun. There's gonna be

(01:33:55):
a pace car, so nobody's gonna be speeding. We're gonna
do it at a nice pace. So ye, well you
speed so you can't go, but anybody else you can
definitely come rally to the car show. It's gonna be
an amazing time. It's the first week in July, so
just look out for that. Why the hell is it
going to stop Sharlot first? Stop in Charlotte first, because
it'll be like an eleven hour ride, twelve hour ride,

(01:34:17):
so that's a lot for people. So we rides, you know,
eight hours to Charlotte and then three four hours the
next day, make an experience out of it. Got you
all right? You got a positive note? What was you saying?
I said, I did get pulled over for speeding over
the weekend since and he said, I speed a lot,
you see, but that's the first time that I gotten
pulled over for that in like year. It's probably about
I would say, maybe a decade. Did you get the ticket?

(01:34:39):
Actually he gave me a warning. Thank you so much, officer.
My goodness, what's your well? I want to tell y'all too, man,
make sure well. Thank you to everybody who's downloaded. UM,
We've got Answers on audible. It's an audiobook that I
dropped a couple of weeks ago. UM for you know,
any white people who are looking for answers to questions
that they may have what I'm saying, and Black people

(01:35:00):
that are tied to answering questions that white people have,
just point them to this project. We've got answers on Audible.
It's free with an Audible membership. And my positive note
is simply this, stop shrinking yourself the fit places. You've
clearly y'll grown breakfast club. What up y'all is DJ
Envy and we're back and we're kicking it with Mountain Dewing.

(01:35:21):
We're talking about their Real Change Opportunity Fund. Now, the
Real Change Opportunity Fund is uplifting black entrepreneurs. And right
now we have a special person on the line right now,
And I hate the factor of the zoom because I
would love to actually see these people in the person.
Now we have Nicole Portwood. Now. She joined PepsiCo in
September twenty eighteen as Vice president of Marketing for Mountain

(01:35:42):
dew Energy and Flavors, leading three hundred and sixty degree
brand marketing strategy across the portfolio. Nicole joined Pepsi Co.
From Tito's Homemade Vacca, where she led branding for nine
years in Austin, Texas. Now, Nicole was instrumental in developing
this program for black entrepreneurs. So, ladies and gentlemen, the
old Portwood, Hey and v it's great to be here
with you. Thanks for joining me. So let's talk about

(01:36:04):
this program. How did this program get created and why
did it start? So we announced the Real Change Opportunity
Fund on the heels of PepsiCo, our parent company, announcing
our four hundred million dollar commitment to uplift black communities
and Black representation and Mountain Dew. We recognize that there
was this immediate need for us to take action as
a brand and to do what we could to really

(01:36:25):
drive tangible change in the specific fight against systemic racism
and inequality faced by Black people in America. We really
felt like entrepreneurs are the key to closing the wealth
gap that has been in place for far too long
and is really based on systemic racism throughout our history.
Entrepreneurs really exemplify what Mountain Dew's all about. They're the doers, right,

(01:36:47):
They're the ones who are getting out there changing their lives,
changing the world, and changing things for the Black community.
So the Real Change Opportunity Fund is our way to
build hope, to inspire lasting impact and empower the next
generation of entrepreneurs. Now why HBCUs. You know HBCUs play
as such a crucial role in personal and professional development.
I went to a HBCU university. What's up? But why

(01:37:10):
you know HBCUs? Why that route? Um? You know? As
a brand, this is the first time that we've developed
something official in partnering with HBCUs. But PepsiCo overall has
fostered and developed relationships across HBCUs by launching programs like
She Got Now and twenty twenty Virtual Marching Band Performance.
So this is our opportunity to put a stake in

(01:37:31):
the ground and really solidify our own relationship with HBCUs
because that's how you invest in talent from these legacy schools.
That's how you make sure you're investing at the route
and identifying those brilliant minds that are going to change
the future. Now, one million dollar prize group, Now what
is that going to do to for the community, Like,
that is a lot of money, it is, and we're

(01:37:54):
so excited to be able to give this to the
winning entrepreneurs and these incredible, incredibly talented, brilliant people who
brought their ideas to us. This was driven by the
recognition that black entrepreneurs tend to receive less funding than
non black entrepreneurs. Like, that's a real insight in what's
happening in the world, and we have an opportunity to

(01:38:15):
shift that dynamic. So this one million dollars is meant
to really inspire and empower some of the best and
brightest black entrepreneurs out there. So do and our panel
of expert doers, including you, are going to be providing
not only the opportunity for this prize pool, but insight
and feedback and mentorship to these finalists. And we're going
to give them this platform to tell their story so

(01:38:37):
that not only, like I said, they have this opportunity
to win the money, but it's going to shine a
light on the incredible ideas that they have, the momentum
that they've built, and the future that they had so
money to be had a platform to tell the story,
and we're hoping that that inspires the community to get
out there and reach for their dreams and drives additional entrepreneurialism.

(01:38:57):
So yeah, not only are the contestants is going to
receive a portion of that million dollar prize pool, but
each HBCU that they come from is also going to
receive an award fund that's dedicated to creating real change
at those universities. Yeah. I was going to ask money
is great, Like everybody wants money, but guided, So how
are they going to definitely get that guides beside the
panelists because you just can't give somebody a bunch of money,

(01:39:19):
but like go do it on your own because they
might not know. So how important is the guidance. I
think that's a critical part of what we're doing and
how we're engaging with these entrepreneurs. You know, they had
an opportunity to meet with some of our judges prior
to the actual competition, go through mentorship sessions here from
business leaders who can give them insight into the kind
of challenges they're going to face, really begin to prod

(01:39:41):
at their ideas and start to ask the difficult questions
that they're going to need to answer as they grow
their businesses and look for incremental funding. You're right that
sometimes too much money with a seed of an idea,
it can be difficult because they don't necessarily know where
to invest it or what's the next best problem to solve.
But where we're really leaning in on a mentorship and

(01:40:03):
guidance platform to make sure we stay engaged with these folks. Now,
tomorrow's the competition, right, So now what are you looking
forward to see during this competition? I mean, because I
don't know what to expect. I don't know what they're
going to be pitching. Is it going to be apps,
Is it going to be you know, bricking mortar? Like
I don't know what we should be expected. What are
you expect? What are you looking forward to tomorrow? But
I want to get too much away, but I can

(01:40:24):
tell you that based on the applications that we've received,
we know that all of these entrepreneurs are going to
be bringing their a game for the final round. There's
going to be really stiff competition. These are some of
the best and brightest out there, and the ideas range
from tangible things to technology, all of them, all of
them geared toward having a massive impact, not just for

(01:40:44):
