I don't. Well, first of all, you stole my headphones.
So I have these headphones that have to be like
charged up and plugged in right now. It's called live radio, man.
That's all so, yes, that's all. That is true, though

(01:29):
that is the worst one you got, the headphones that
need to be charged up. I don't like those. I
like the ones that you just plug in. Yeah, once
that you plug in that I have are amazing. They're
really good headphones. Shut up, give me back my headphones.
It's COVID. I can't give it back to you. Yeah,
I definitely don't want them. They look a little morn out.
But so I took good morning. I took my mom's
shopping yesterday for Mother's Day because I wasn't here on

(01:50):
Mother's Day two weeks later. Yes, she wanted she had
to take off on March. She actually was working on
Mother's Day, so I didn't bother coming home because she
couldn't do anything. Okay, So we planned a date that
she took off from work, and you know, I spent
the day with her. It took her shopping. Do you
feel like saying Macy's and Jason, you know what, I

(02:10):
don't say it, don't say what'd you get them? Um?
So we went to Berry Commons, which in New York
is the outlets, right, That's where she went. You know,
I was like, where do you want to go? We
can't go anywhere. So the only hard thing about shopping
right now is you have to wait on line to
go in stores. They only allow us turn amount of
people in at a time, and even so now yeah, yes,
and there's be a long line out of all. Outlets

(02:30):
are amazing. Let me tell y'all, if this outlets you,
you've been at the Envy. They tell me they haven't
seen you in a while. Yeah, because it's COVID. I've
been outside. It's like you're traveling right now. Okay, yeah,
working vacation, that's it. But other than that, I ain't
going out. Nope. It's COVID, right, so what aren't you?
I'm also vaccinated. I am vaccinated and a restaurant. You

(02:52):
can go to stores, but I don't really go out
like that. I'm just a vaccinated thing. But I don't
know how to vcinate. Thing is working. I don't know
if they've given you a VP treatment just because you vaccinated. Yeah,
I'm saying for yourself to go out. Part of the
reason why you get vaccinated is that you feel a
little bit somewhere. I do, but I still keep it
to where I need to be aware. I have to

(03:13):
go from working. I'll go out, vacation, I'll go out,
but I'm just not randomly shopping. Well, I took my
mom shopping. That's what she wanted to do, So I
took her shopping. Congratulations the mama from coming up yesterday.
She did. She had to guess. She was very happy.
So I love my mom and that's fun to me.
Like instead of just buying her something, I wanted to
spend the day with her. And that's cool. Thanky Mama.

this day, whenever I go shopping, the first place I
go is always a sale rack before I try to
buy an I hate buying things, folks. And they survived

All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page News.
What we're talking about. Well, we are, of course going
to give a rest in peace to comedian Paul Mooney
this morning. All right, Well we'll get into that, and
it's the Breakfast Local morning a morning everybody in stj

(05:03):
Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to breakfast club.
Let's get in some front page news where we start
NBA playoffs. Last night I watched a game and a half.
I didn't see no player. I watched the Grigglies in
San Antonio last night, and I watched the first half
of the Warriors Lakers. All right, well, the Grizzlies he
beat the Spars one hundred ninety six and the Lakers

(05:25):
beat the Warriors one hundred three to one hundred. Great game.
Even though I didn't see the second half, it looked
good on social media this morning. All right, Now, comedian
Paul Mooney has passed away at the age of seventy nine.
So sad rest in peace to Paulmoney and of course
our condolences to his family and his close friends. He's
best known for working with Richard Pryor, and according to

(05:48):
his family, he died Wednesday morning at his home in Oakland.
They said the paramedics tried unsuccessfully to revive him after
he was suffering from a heart attack, and they also
said he's been suffering from dementia for some time, and
he was staying with a family member. We also know him,
of course, for writing credits from Sanford and Sun and
Live in Color. He was the head writer on The
Richard Pryor Show. He wrote a few episodes of Pryor's plays.

(06:12):
You know him from The Chappelle Show. He played Sam
Cook in the nineteen seventy eight film The Buddy Holly Story,
June Bug and Spike Lee's Bamboozled, And of course he
was on The Chappell Show as well. Hey man, nothing
better than being at the Paul Mooney show. I've been
in several in my life, and and and watching the
walk out. I love watching white people walk out because
they can't handle Pa. He's true, Carolines and yes as well,

(06:36):
so many people, so many white people, are hilarious, hilarious.
He does not care. He does not care. And then
his book Black is the New White, a very great
read if you've never read it. We had Paul Mooney
on The Breakfast Club back in two thousand eleven, one eleven,
two thousand, eleven one, two eleven, twenty years ago, we

(07:02):
never aired it. I still don't know why we didn't
hear it. I meant to watch it. I actually our
producers sent it to me yesterday, but I didn't watch it.
More I the budio wasn't that good either. I thought
it was. Don't know, it's like thirty minutes long. Yeah,
thirty minutes long, all right? And supporters of Michaela Miller
pushing back on that suicide ruling for her. As you recall,

(07:24):
she is a teenager from Massachusetts whose death last month
had people in the small town that she called home
very confused about what happened. They are saying that she
died by suicide according to the medical examiner, but her
mother wants to find out the truth. She said, the
only thing I went out of all of this is
to find the truth. The conclusion they made yesterday as
far as the suicide ruling, her mother said, it is

(07:45):
the conclusion they made the first day they walked into
my house. There is no difference. But I know the
truth and it's not what they say. It was a
jagger that discovered Michaela's body in the woods near her
apartment complex, and they are saying she died by asphyxiating herself.
She was only sixteen years old, sophomore in high school.
There was a belt around her neck, which they determined
was not her belt, nor was it her mother's belt.

(08:06):
The belt that this seems did not belong to her
or her mom. She underwent an independent autopsy. Those results
were not made available, but Benjamin Crump, the attorney, said
he expects results from the family's autopsy to be released
sooner rather than later. But they did say earlier this month,
she was in an altercation. On the afternoon prior to
the discovery of her body, she had an altercation with
two other teens, a male and a female. They scuffled

(08:28):
at her apartment complex. There were five teams in total
with her earlier that afternoon, and her mother had actually
called and said that her daughter had been jumped, that
she did have a bloody lip, and then a jagger
found her body steps away from her home. Well, if
it wasn't her belt, can't they check the belt for DNA.
We don't know the results of any of that yet,
So yeah, they are still ruling that it was a suicide.

(08:51):
And of course her mom and close friends and family
do not feel that they're investigating this, and they felt
a large part of it is the fact that she's
a black woman, and you know, they're very quick to
just say, okay, she killed herself instead of trying to
really dig deeper into what could have happened. Yeah, especially
I check the belt for DNA. See whose DNA ends
up on the belt, and she's She was also gay,
and so they also feel like maybe her sexuality her

(09:14):
identity also influenced investigators to just kind of write it off. Yankes,
we send in healing energy to what's her last name? MICHAELA. Miller,
the Miller family. Absolutely all right, well that is front
page news. Get it off your chest eight hundred five
eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent,

In America, we don't have rights to people, So I
don't like hearing on talking about our amendments, us, our
God getting right. If the top tay, you get off
the car, get off the car. A lot of times
I see a lot of hostility coming from the first
being poor dog, and I feel like we're dying. So

(10:20):
why don't just get off the car? Why don't you
just shut up? Why don't you just avite the information given?
Because we're they're undefeated. A lot of times people A

goes last. I haven't seen that if my Clando Calando
cat still following. I have a registered gun and people

of times there's hostility coming from those people. He wasn't HASHTI.
When I see every time I'm looking, I can always
see where we went wrong. Damn the cop. They they're
gonna do what they do, They're gonna kill. So my
thing is just comply. Yeah, nothing where we my brother,

(11:00):
I respect you, Hey, my brother, I respect your opinion,
But I mean when you look at people like Elijah
McClean twenty three years old. You know when you look
at people like philandocast still that kind of proves you wrong.
But I do. I'm upset that, you know, you've gotten
to the point in your life where you're so defeated
that you don't even feel like the constitution are the
are the laws of the land apply to you. Somebody

(11:21):
who gets pulled over a lot, I agree with that, nah,
But somebody get pulled over a lot, man, you have
the right to ask, why are you pulling me over? Yeah?
Just you just ain't got to buckle down and be like, okay,
you pull me up and get out the coup up
my hand. No, why are you pulling me over? I
did nothing wrong. My registration is right, my insurance is right,
my license is not. But hear me right. We go

(11:44):
through all of that, and then we're the ones that
ends up there. Let the people who's fighting the fight
fight to fight. We don't have that right. Don't now,
my brother, my brother, don't let these my brother, don't
let these wife supremacists beat you down so much that
you don't even feel like you were citizen and country
you are. I get what you're saying. I want to

(12:05):
get hold of my family too. But what's right is right,
and I'm not gonna just just lay down on my
knees while you just beat me over the head. No,
I want to know why are you pulling me over?
And on pulling you over? Because I've seen the air
freshman in your your window. No, tell me why you're
pulling me over. And by the way, by the way, King,
because exactly, but listen, King, your way has not been
proven correct against the law. Your way has not been

(12:26):
proven correct. We've seen black people get killed every which
way you try to handle it, whether you comply, don't comply,
walking away and handcuffs on the ground, So you're way,
you're way to No, but I do tell my son
that because I'm scared for my son, and my dad
told me the same. But I'm with you, but that
over to day. But that don't mean that cops still
may not violate, violate your n that's so you can

(12:49):
follow all the instruction, you can still be killed. You
don't take the drop. Stop you you really think right? You?
Of course you just said we don't have no rights,
but you think we win in court? Okay, brother, have
a good day. Thank you. But I understand what he's
saying because my dad used to tell me that all
the time. My dad would just be like, YO, shut

(13:10):
the f up and make it home. You can't win
on the street with that police officer, but at least
when you make it home, you have an opportunity to
win in court. My dad us to say the same thing. Yeah,
I'm not telling him the curse cops out and fight cops.
All I'm simply saying is you do have rights as
a black person in this country. You do. But as
as somebody that gets pulled over time, no, I want
to know why you pulling me over. I'm not just
gonna assume know why, tell me why, and then when

(13:32):
you get an attitude, I get at it. You know,
but you know why you ask those questions because you
know that you have rights. The constitution is supposed to
work for all of us. Get it off your chest.
Eight hundred five A five one oh five one. If
you need to vent, hit this up now. It's the
breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast club. It's your time

you when? When did you go to trade school? How
old you when you went to trade school? I was
sixteen when I went to trade school. I was in
high school. I went to UM Diamond Ots. What made
you want to be a welder? I just always like

to do girly thing, so that's what I got into. No,

(14:57):
I've been telling oh, go ahead, what do you say.
I'm just so happy I did it because I don't
know where I would be right now. I tell kids
all the time, go learn a trade man, and I
think that they should have. I'm glad that you learned
it young, because everybody should at least know how to
do something with their hands. Because I bet you ain't
been broken since she didn't say all that. Now, hello,

keep you keep a job, I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah. It
is it harder being a woman who's a welder. Yeah,

But Ray HBO Max has announced a pair of new

So what they have done is they actually have different
incarnations of the show with different people producing it. So

women filmmakers as they're given a shot at directing their

(17:26):
first feature. So Isa Ray will appear in each episode.
She's executive producer, She's giving mentorship to the filmmakers, and
that finished film will later premiere on HBO Max. They
also announced Sweet Life Los Angeles, an unscripted series from
Siray that's set to launch this summer. It's an honest
and unique look at life in the heart of South
Los Angeles for a group of young, ambitious black friends

(17:48):
in their mid twenties. Hey, Esa is a g man
is quietly building an empire, and Eesa empowers a lot
of a lot of black folks, especially black women. Whether
you see it or not. You know so, I dropping
on clues bonds for Easteray, I think y'all told me
Lisa Ray just to do that with y'all said Lisa,
I'm a fan of ray Engratulations to her. I'm a
huge fan of Ea. Lute to Lisa Ray to Respect

(18:11):
at the deadal Purpose. Okay, all right, now, Aretha Franklin
that biopic Respect with Jennifer Hudson playing her. They have
released the official trailer so here it is. Singing is
sacredly and you shouldn't do it just because somebody wants
you to. What's most important is that you are treated
with dignity and respect. Especially, you have a talent they

(18:38):
called genius. Think about trying to do how old this shit?
Just tim but the voice is going on further. Une, man,
I can't wait to see that that movie is actually
gonna come out on August thirteenth. I'm going to the
theaters for that one and after one, that's the one
that's a proved by the family with Jennifer Hudson. Right. Yes,
Artha Franklin is aware of this. She wanted Jennifer Hudson

(19:00):
to play her, so this would be great and Jennifer
Hudson does an amazing job. Yeah, I hope so. I mean,
you know, whenever I see movies, Yeah, whenever I see
those movies like that, I always think about Ray. Ray
is the ray and what's love got to do with it?
Is the bar for me when it comes to those
kind of movies. So that's I hope it doesn't does
it justice? Yeah? I love movies like that, and you
know that the movies. I like the Doors. They had
a really good one. Um. Of course, Purple Rain to

(19:23):
me is the epitome all right now. Jocelyne Hernandez, you
ever recall when she was on Wendy and things got
a little bit heated on the show. Let's flash back
to that. And when people come in your show, especially
black culture, you should be nicer to us, the ladies.
You should give us her flys what we're here, and
you should tell us how proud you are of what
we've done in the streets. Well, I'm not proud of all. Now.

(19:46):
Can we get back to the show at hand. But
you have nothing to say about what my feeling. I
just said what I said. I don't apologize for anything.
This is what I do. You only do it to
the young black Spanish shorts coming up, you don't do
it to anybody else. It's sure, here's a flower, come on,
all right. Well, Joscelyn Hernandez has done an interview with
Entertainment tonight and whether or not she would have a

(20:09):
discussion with Wendy or forgive her for what she said.
Here's what she said. You know, I think she wanted
to talk to me, like the first day that it happened,
and I was like, I don't want to talk to
that bidh. I think that work when she threw the
flowers at me, when she was being real disrespectful and
not acknowledging the fact that when latinas and black woman

(20:29):
sit on her couch, she comes out with a gun, right,
but she don't give me my props. But you always
want to compare me with people, and and I think
she does said to every person that's of color, because
she doesn't want nobody of color to be better than her.
I wonder what reaction Jocelyn wanted from Wendy, though, Like
after Joscelyn said what she said to Wendy, how does
she want Wendy to reply? Seems like she had an

(20:51):
expectation of how she expected Wendy to reply and didn't
get it. So I wonder what she wanted her to say.
I'm trying to do better, yea, I was thinking an apology,
like it seems like all right now. Wendy y'a also,
by the way, posted the picture of her feet and
talked about the disorder that she has. It is called
lymphoedema and it is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of

(21:11):
limp fluid and the tissues of an extremity or other
body part. So she said her doctor, doctor Laurie, is
the French lady who's helping me live with lymphadema. She
scrubs and understands, my disease is not curable, only manageable.
Oh yes, I'm wearing a sequence dress. Why not? Yeah,
I saw those pictures. I think that the reason they
look like that is because Wendy already has like a

(21:31):
big foot, you know what I mean, So you put
the disease on top of that. That's why it looks
the way a little bit. Yeah, it doesn't seem like
she could ever wear any sneaker or high heels. She
gotta be flip flops us. Yeah, something comfortable because geeh.
All right, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your
rumor report. All right, thank you, Missy. What are you

(21:52):
thinking about? Why are you thinking like that? Charlomagne? Because
I don't know why you put them pictures in the
group chat last night. I don't know if you've seen
them pictures, you knowing the whole group at all. I
was not on my phone. I have to get back
to everybody. But I purposely spent the day with my
mother not on the phone, and I didn't know what
they was. I was like, what is this? You know

body camera video to the Associated Press. There were three
clips that were posted. They're just over two minutes in length,
and the video says, by the way, the whole thing
was forty six minutes long, so people have not seen

(23:40):
this original video. We don't know what else is in
these unpublished parts of the video, but Ronald Green died
after struggling with law enforcement. In the video, and the
officer approaches his vehicle with the weapon drawn and says,
let me see your effing hands, m effer. And that's
when Green's car door is open. You can hear a
taser and Green is saying, okay, I'm sorry, I'm scared, officer,

(24:01):
I'm scared. I'm your brother, I'm scared. As he's taking
out of the taken out of the vehicle and another
video clip, they're forcing him onto the ground and an
officer says taser, taser, and you can hear Green screaming
and then after being tased, he's moaning on the ground
being put in handcuffs. Another officer is kicking him. Then
you hear another officer saying, I've got blood all over me.
I hope this guy ain't got fffing aids. Then he's

(24:23):
left lying face down, moaning for more than nine minutes
while officers are using sanitizer wipes to wash blood off
their hands and faces and us. You know. Then after
that there was a struggle, And all they said all
this time, by the way, was that he died while
in custody, So there was no end of the initial reports,

(24:44):
no story about any of these other things happening after
he was arrested or taken into custody. This is why
we have to keep pushing the line on the George
Floyd Policing Act. A ball is qualified immunity. The only
reason cops are doing this is because they can. It's
really that simple, right, So two officers and he died
on the way to the hospital. He was taken into

(25:06):
custody after resisting arrest and a struggle with troopers. That's
all the reports said. By the way, I just wonder
how you lose like like like your humanity for people
like it's a human I would think that you got
to be some type of sociopath to treat other humans
in that way. Someone's on the ground and handcuffs, being tased,
you're kicking them, they're bleeding, you leave them on the floor.

(25:27):
What else supposed to do? Like at one pointing I'm scared,
he said, I'm your brother. I'm saying, at what point
did your human conscience kick in and say, all right,
I'm doing too much? Not Two officers involved in this
incident were reprimanded that night, and one of the officers
is on administrative leave because of a separate incident. The
other got a fifty hour suspension, and a third officer

(25:47):
died in a single vehicle crash in September. So the
family has filed a wrongful death suit that was filed
on May sixth last year, saying that he was brutalized.
You know how that happened, Charlomagne, Like you said, because
look less than That's when you see somebody and they
look less than you, they don't put you on the
same level as them. That's how they can do somebody

(26:08):
like that. Okay. Now, a teacher in Idaho who the
one who disarmed a sixth grader after she opened fire
at a school earlier this month, is speaking for the
first time. Christa Nighting. She is a math teacher at
Rigby Middle School and she was preparing her students for
their finals on the morning of May six when she
heard a gunshot from down the hall. Now, she said,

(26:31):
I told my students were going to leave, and here's
what she said happened. It was a little girl and
my brain couldn't quite grasp that. And so I looked
at her and I just quietly said, are you the shooter?
And she just watched me, and I just walked up
to her and I put my hand over her hand,
and I just slowly pulled the gun out of her

(26:52):
hand and she allowed me to And then after I
got the gun, I just pulled her into a hug
with a been a little whig girl. Now, the sixth
grade student actually wounded two students in one adult, according
to the Jefferson County sarf's office, was the shoot a
little wig girl. Yeah, a little girl with a gun
shooting people and they walk up to it to take

(27:13):
the gun. And when you think about Makaya Bryant, right,
you're telling me that a math teacher can disarm a
student with a gun. A math teacher a student with
a gun, but a training cop can't disarm a young
girl with a knife. Now. Kristin Knighting also said that
she held the girl after that. After a little while,
the girl started talking to me, and I could just
really tell she was very unhappy, and I just kept

(27:34):
hugging her and loving her and trying to let her
know that we're going to get through this together. And
so I looked at her and I just said, he
needs to put you in handcuffs. And she didn't respond.
She just led him, and he was very gentle and
very kind, and he just went ahead and took her
and put her in the police car. Salute to that

(27:55):
teach you what's her name, Kristin Knighting. Salute to Christa Knighting.
You did a great job, Christia. She had to know
that young girl. I don't know. I mean, it's just
it's just wild that a math teacher can disarm him
a student with a gun, but a trained cop couldn't
disarm him a young girl with a knife. Now, she said.
When the police came, she told the girl, you know,
he's got to put you in handcuffs. And she said

(28:16):
the police officer was very gentle and very kind of
course that's how I know, yo? What right? Ye know?
They don't release the names of the sixth grader, and
the girl's name has not been released. Oh you know
is that she lives in Idaho Falls. I don't know
where does the sixth grade to get the gun from?
You know what I mean? Because parents supposed to have
a gun locked up? And at six years old, do

(28:37):
you know how to take the safety off a gun?
Or nine years old? You can start going to the
range in most places at eight. So yeah, maybe with
a handgun? Yeah? Eight in sixth grade? Are you nine
years old? Sixth grade? No, you should be like eleven.
I don't know, math man, I have little sixes. She

(28:58):
wasn't a teenager. Jay z lyrics that vacation. He said,
I got more sixes than um third grade. I got
more sixes in third No, that wasn't it. You trying
to do it too? All right, guys, that's your front page.

(29:21):
Try to figured out from what Jay's lyrics was that
from the all you have to do is add five. Okay,
you start school normally when you're around five years old.
Six was five is eleven? No No six? First grade?
No six is the first grade? Ye first grade the
first grade seven eight, so third this is this what
we got to get this together. You're at Hampton Alumni.

(29:42):
I'm I'm a doctor from Shoth, Carolina. We have to
get this together smarter than a sixth grader. That's how
we do all ot stuff. We you know, we all
we know everything from jay Z Lyrics. That is very true.
But you were totally got more sixties and then you
had a rock got more sixes in third grade grades
first you didn't know it. I had to think about
it early. Oh no, it was earlier. Thanks jay Z

(30:02):
Lyrics for you guys to understand how old a child is.
No matter how we learned, as long as we learned.
But as soon as I said, you know exactly what
I meant, Professor Sean Carter has taught us a lot. Definitely, right,
all right, all right, all right, when we come back.
Who's joining us? Man, somebody that is way swattered and

(30:23):
everybody in this room. Okay. His name is Will Lucas.
Will Lucas is an entrepreneur. He has a podcast called
Black Tech Green Money. He's the marketing and production agent.
He's a content creator and he can tell you where
you need to be putting your money over the next
couple of years. So you're about to learn something, all right,
we'll talk to him next to Dope Move. It's the

(30:44):
Breakfast Club, Go Morning, the Breakfast Club to Dangerous Morning Show,
to Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and God Angela yee. I don't
know where DJ Envy ran off too, but I mean
this brother is uh that we haven't here today, is
right up in vis Alley because you know, you got
brothers like Envy and you know Caesar and you know
Earn your Leisia and Wall Street Trapper and you know

(31:06):
Angela even they're all, you know, pushing economic empowerment and
finances and investments and all of that good stuff. And
the good brother Will Lucas is here from the Black
Tech Green Money podcast. Good morning, Will, and good morning,
good morning, and everybody tell us a little bit about yourself.
Well why should we listen to you in regards to finances? Hey,
you know brand manager afro Tech, which is the world's

(31:28):
biggest black tech platform and uh digital platform and conference
in the world. So I feel like I've been an
entrepreneur in my whole life. I've started off in the
music business. I did radio for twelve years. Actually, wow,
I thought I was going to be entrepreneur in the
music business, but I found my way into entrepreneurship and
technology very early in life. You have several media businesses,

(31:50):
a content creator, so I feel like I got something
to say and I feel like I've done the work. Also,
so you're cheating. That's why your podcast. You got experience
in the broadcasting field, you know. I feel like, look, look,
Steve Jobs, as this course said, you know, you can
never connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect
them looking backwards. So I feel like all the things
that I've done led me to this moment. Absolutely. How

(32:10):
did you start investing? Because I always think that's interesting
because I think about how I had to learn about investing,
and I feel like I started late in life, so
I'm playing catch up. But it's fascinating to me, and
I wish I would have known what to do earlier
and started earlier. Well, I would put it this way.
I'm an investor into myself, and so I do own
like a lot of investments. I have ethereum, bigcoin, the

(32:30):
whole thing. But I'm an entrepreneur and so I'm invested
into my businesses more so than any other thing. I
feel like, you know, the biggest investment you can make
is into your own thing, whether or not you put
you know, ten thousand dollars twenty thousand dollars to some
other company, A lot of times that money can serve
you better when you put it into your own self,
your own education, and your own businesses, and you take

(32:52):
that leap, you learn more about the opportunity for wealth
creation and building legacy and anything that you want to do.
Then you can learn sometimes not all the time, but
sometimes by investing in other things. Expelled on that a
little bit more because you know, when people think investments,
that's what they think, you know, by real estate, investing stock,
get some big coin. But you said invest in yourself absolutely.

(33:12):
I mean, I feel like, you know, take the leap
on yourself. There's so many people who have the conversation
about if if I had X, I would do why.
I'm like, would just do why and figure it out
along the way, just just get in the game. So
many people have ideas about things that they want to
start businesses that they want to create, and they feel
like something is holding them back. And at the end

(33:33):
of the days, you holding yourself back. You know, you
took a chance on yourself when you started your your
radio career, you started you know it took a chance
in your stuff when you started your care your juice bar.
I feel like, look, there's opportunities out here for everyone,
and there's there's nothing that makes people who have done
it more special than the people who have it, other
than they took and gamble on themselves. And I feel
like more people, more of us specifically, should take a

(33:54):
gamble on ourselves because look, we have the keys, we
have the look. Number one, Black women have sparticularly in
the tech world, their startups feel at a lower rate
than every other startup. Every Black women startups feel at
a lower rate than every other company. Why is that
this because it is support their received from each other. No,
it's because black women know how to do know how

(34:16):
to make it work. Prepared black women. Black women you
know have to make it work. You know, it's in
the DNA. And so I feel like, you know, if
we figure out ways to encourage each other and create
ecosystem to support each other. We can all win in
this world. Wow. Yeah, because I always believe in taking
an educated risk right and I try to do whatever
I can to make sure that my business is straight

(34:37):
before because sometimes I feel like people want you to
invest in something, but they don't have it all together,
and so they say, how I have this thing, can you,
you know, help me with it? I need some money
to get it started. I'm like, okay, well, can I
see a business plan? Or who else are your partners?
How much have you invested in yourself? Like what is
you doing? And a lot of times people don't have
that together. So people will ask me like can you
invest in this or partner with me on this? And

(34:59):
I'll be like, well, okay, send me over a business
plan so I can just check it out, and they
never do it. Yeah, And you know, so I'm the
wrong person to like advocate like strongly for business plans.
I do believe you need to have something documented. I'm
more like in the camp of like make a deck
at least like a present. I make a power point
and just show me a couple of slides on what
this is, and then more than that, go try to
sell something. If somebody buys what you're trying to do.

(35:21):
That's the best proof that there is that you know,
what you have can actually work in the marketplace. And
Mike Tyson as his call. You know, everybody has a
plan till they get punched in the face. So go
trying to sell it. Go try to sell it if
you can get enough people to at least, you know,
show me some sort of proof of concept that you
have that people want what you're trying to create. What
was the first investment Will Lucas made in himself, Oh,

(35:42):
the radio. Because I'm from Tolo, Ohio. You know, so
I feel like I wanted to be in the music
business growing up, and I've figured I'm from Toledo, so
I'm like, what's the closest thing to the music business.
So I met I was in high school and I
met a program director at a team summit and I said,
you know, look, my name's Will Lucas. I want to
be in the radio. I want to be in a
music business. I'm sorry, And he said, you know, the

(36:03):
best thing I can tell you do is find an
internship somewhere. And so he told me to come out
to the station because it was a line of team
trying to talk to him, and so I went out
to the station like the next day and he said again,
he gave me this musicians Friend catalog which has stuff
I couldn't afford, you know, music equipment. And he said again,
best thing I can tell you do is find you know,
an internship somewhere. And so my internship started that day.

(36:24):
It's working for free. And so three days into my internship,
he put me on the air with him during the
five o'clock traffic jam. He had the three to eight slot.
I was on the air with him every day after that,
after I would go out of school, I would go
out to the radio station and be on the air,
working for free. Six months after that, they gave me
my own Saturday night show. I was number one in
the city on Saturday nights. Six months after that he

(36:44):
went to the morning show. They gave me his afternoon
drive show. And so I just happened to find I
found something in me that was good at radio at
the time, and so that internship. I believe so like
a lot of teenagers today are looking for like paid internships.
And I do believe, like, you know, because because some
people can take advantage of interns. But I do believe
there's value in working for free, at least if it

(37:06):
gets you closer to your goal. Because sometimes it ain't
just about the money, but if you can find a
way to get closer to the thing, that's worth it
because it'll pay off. My dad taught me, you know,
growing up, everybody pays in life. Some people pay now,
some people pay later. Everybody pays, and so sometimes they
ain't about the money. If it gets you closer, then
take that leap into you. You have to understand opportunity

(37:26):
when there's not a paycheck attached to it. Absolutely have
to recognize opportunity. Yeah, we live. We live in the
world though where people want that instant gratification and I
respect that. You know, again, there's some people who don't
know how to treat interns, and so buy internship was
working like I actually got to work in the fields.
And so if you're just you know, taking advantage of
interns because you don't want to pay somebody else, and

(37:47):
you're just a bad leader, you know. But I feel
like if you're giving people a real opportunity to get
closer to their dreams, internships are for them, you know,
Internships aren't not just necessarily about the company getting free labor.
It's about helping somebody else paying forward to help somebody
else get closer to the thing. Right. We got more
with Will Lucas. When we come back, it's the breakfast Club.
Go morning ej Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne the guy. We

(38:10):
are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Will Lucas, Entrepreneur,
Content created and more. Now, Charlomagne, I want to ask
you about a bitcoin because you mentioned it earlier. I
see cryptos taking a die in the stock marketing the day.
Why why isn't it It's super volatile? So number one,
it's an unregulated currency, which is the value of It's
an unregulated currency, and so I feel like number one,

(38:32):
if you and if you are like day trading bitcoin
like you are gambling? Are you going to the casino
every single day? And so I buy bitcoin, I buy
etherium religiously. I have like an on the auto buy
like every week. I just put a certain amount of
money towards those things. And I'm not looking to sell
it anytime soon because I believe one day bitcoin could
hit like a real crazy number. And so there are

(38:54):
folks who are selling off right literally right now in
this moment. You know, go ahead, because you're gonna you're
gonna make it good for people like me and good
investors who like, Okay, I'm a buy those dips and
buy those crazy dips. It's like a year ago, it's
like three thousand dollars, a couple of weeks ago, it's
eighty thousand dollars, and so I'm like, it will hit
those numbers again. But if you're buying, particularly to day

(39:14):
trading those such a voluntile currency, you're playing casino every
single day, and that's not to me a wise investment strategy.
So even dipping in the day that don't mean nothing.
That's just the way. That's just the way it goes.
That's just the way. That's just the way to go.
I mean, the entire market goes up and down it
but it's just more stable. So it's the dips aren't
as the swings aren't as hard. But like with things

(39:35):
like with bitcoin, because it's such a new it's not
really a currency because it's because it's so fresh, people
don't know how to value it, and so those swings
are going to be wild and crazy. So I'm buying.
I'm into holding because I believe it could get to
a specific number no matter what it does in the meantime. Yeah,
I'm scared of it, just because I don't quite understand it.
I was talking to about financial people about it, and

(39:56):
they would like, you know, same thing you just said.
It's not regulated, but they do feel like crypto is
here to stay. We just don't know which one, yeah,
for sure. And so I'm like, you know, it's like
building portfolio, like you don't put all your things in
one brand, You don't put all your you shouldn't put
all of it into one coin. And so again, I've
liked coin also I forgot I forgot about that when
I have light coin, Etherem and Bitcoin, and I'm I'm

(40:17):
banking on my ultimate belief that I believe it's going
to be humongous. I don't know which one again, but
I'm not banking on what it says today. I believe
ultimately these will be very valuable tokens. Absolutely. Is it
too late because some people will say, well, you kind
of missed the boat if you didn't invest earlier. What
are your thoughts on that it'll be even later? Tomorrow.
You know, you know, I'm like, get in the game.

(40:41):
You know again, these you're you're seeing it swing. The
worst thing you can do is sit on the sideline
and try to you know, have a crystal ball like
nobody knows and so at the worst thing you can
do is just sit back and wait. Just get in
the game. Well, what should we invest in that will
probably make a comeback since the world is opening back
up a little bit after the black people? You should

(41:01):
invest in black people. You should invest you should invest.
Look the same thing I said about like bitcoin THEORYM like,
I believe ultimately black people win. And so I'm like,
you know, so I'm like, invest in black people like
we ought to culture were the way we talk about food,
were talking about sports, We're talking about dance, We're talking
I mean, invest in black people. No, I listen, I

(41:24):
agree with you. Um you know you everything you're saying,
I agree with saying that you invest in yourself. But yes,
invest in black people. That's what I love to do.
I say that when you pour into other people like
you can't lose, you can't. I mean, look, you know,
I was asking a VC on the podcast Black Tech,
Green Money wherever you get your podcasts. Um, But I
was asking the VC, like, you know, because black people

(41:46):
run the culture. You know, we are we over index
on Twitter, we over index on Snapchat, we over index
on TikTok, and we create those trending topics. Why is
it if we create the culture, then why is it
we get less? Like why don't they just go to
the source but they invest instead? And people who wear
sandals in Patagonia or whatever, like like, why is it

(42:06):
those people get the money and the people who are
actually creating the things and making them popular don't get it?
And so this that's the million dollar question, It's like,
and so I believe like if again, if you ultimately
believe that black culture wins, which we already do, so
that's not that's a foregone conclusion, then you shouldn't invest
in black people. And so like the problem is not

(42:28):
enough of us consider building technology tools and platforms as
like a thing. Like so many of our kids know
how to use TikTok, but they don't realize that there's
somebody on the other side building TikTok. And so my
mission is to make sure that we have that representation
so we know that Okay, not only is this an
app I'm dolloading, but there's somebody on the other side
of getting the piece every time I open this up.

(42:50):
And so that's what that's the that's the mission I'm on.
Is it our fault because we're not necessarily in the
fields or industries we may need to be in. No,
I mean that's this Number one. This is why AFRO exists,
is to not only give us that representation of that
they are black people really out here doing it like
we are really out here making money in technology. I
mean I can talk about people, you know, tens of

(43:12):
millions of dollars, you know, like the og you know,
like my guy who's like the Michael Jordan poster on
my walls, guy named Paul jud I mean, this guy's
you know, dozens of patterns, you know, super duper millionaire.
I mean, this is a guy who you consider like
tech people nerds, like this guy walks around like Lubetans
and you know he look like Envy, you know, like
you know this he walks around looking like just super

(43:33):
just super duper rich. I'm like, and so I got
into podcasting because I had a white advisor to one
of my startups asked me what would it take to
get more black kids interested in tech, and I said, like,
they need to see like a black Mark Zuckerbird. They
need to see somebody who looks like them and it
realizing success. And at the end of that conversation, I

(43:53):
kicked myself something like, we have super successful black people
in tech, we just don't know who they are. And
so I'm like, all these years of radio, I'm gonna
start a podcast. And so it's still still in iTunes
call of ten Podcasts because I was only gonna do
ten episodes, one of ten, two up, so it's called
of ten Podcasts. And so I had like these super
high profile in the tech in the tech sector black

(44:16):
people on my show, and I'm like, there's so many
more of us out here who are really really doing it. Um,
we just don't have enough representation. And that's changing now
with things like Afrotech and black tech cree money like
Robert Refskin, Yeah, I mean, like we really out here.
You're really out here, and he's like one of the
youngest black billionaires. Yes, you're absolutely right, yeah, and he's

(44:36):
in I forgot exactly what he does in the text pace.
But I know it's tech. Yeah, I mean so, but
there are so many. There are so many, you know,
I mean they're the black women you I mean, You've
got like Jessica Matthew's right here in Harlem, Like she's
building a power company like energy sustainability, like like, well
you should have justice. Like Jessica is really the truth,
like she if you ask you, you should tell you.
She's like the mix of Bill Night of Science Guy

(44:58):
and Beyonce, Like she is really really the truth. I mean,
but you've got you've got super successful black people in
tech who are getting the bag, who are really making money,
and you know, more of us need to show ourselves,
like we are really on the other side of these applications,
on other side of these solutions, making these things that
people are using every day. We got more with Will Lucas.

(45:18):
When we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club,
Good Morning Burning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne
the guy. We are the breakfast club. We're still kicking
it with Will Lucas. He's the brand manager at Afro
Tech Content Create an entrepreneur. He'll tell you and help
you where you should be putting your money. Now, I
have a question. When you talk apps and you talk tech,

(45:39):
A lot of that is expensive. How expensive is it
to create your own app? And you know, how do
we get money for that? I number one. I love
that you ask that questions because number one, tech is
like the gold Rush, and you don't have to have
the pics and shovels, Like you can literally go to
your library and cold and app on that computer. Like
there are so many free applications that teach you both

(46:01):
how to code and that you can use, like these
open source platforms that you don't have to have, um,
you know the big You don't have to have down payments,
you know, like you do have to have in in
to buy a mortgage. Um, you don't have to have,
you know, a U haul or a bulldozer to go
build a thing. Like you can literally sit on a computer,

(46:22):
on a borrowed computer, upload that code to the cloud,
and any computer you go to, that same code will
be there. And then you can launch that application to
whatever platform, whether it be iTunes, will will play for free.
And the biggest thing is knowing how to engage people.
It's It's like learning how to code is one thing
the real kicker and the people who are successful. It's

(46:43):
not just the people who know how to write code,
it's also the people who can engage a team. And
so if you can sell somebody to come along that
road with you, whether that be if you're the coder
and you're not the person who can go sell, but
you can engage somebody who can who's like the mouthpiece
and can be the front face of it, then you
can win. If you are the front face and you
got the mouth but you got and you got an idea,
but you you need to then be able to engage

(47:05):
somebody who can code. And so I feel like you know,
number one, there is a zero cost to entry, zero
cost to entry in the tech world and the upside
can be unlimited. And also like on top of that,
like not everybody's trying to build a Google. Like if
you are a barber, like my guys that squire, Like,

(47:25):
if you are a barber and you learn how to
have a tech enabled platform to where you can scale,
you know as a small business, you can win like
where like like I love talking about barber's because I'm like,
if you are a barber and you are not learning
learning how to employ technology, like where's the black bo ricks?
Like where's the black supercuts? You know, they built a
model that scales, and so like, where are we in

(47:48):
this world? And the way that we get there is
by employing technology against those, um those lifestyle sort of businesses.
What way will you advise kids that say, hey, I'm
into tech, I'm watching the Breakfast Club? What school would
you say they should go to? A look forward to
go into to learn more about tech? The University of YouTube.
That's where you go. Don't say that. I'm just being

(48:09):
I agree with you, but it's a lot of people
on YouTube giving out a lot of bad information too.
I'm like, look, number one, if you learn how if
you're trying to learn how to code, it's the University
of YouTube. Period. Like and you got I mean, then
you you also have number one, shout out the university leader.
I'm a board member at the university, so I gotta
shot them. We got nice computer like engineering programs. But

(48:29):
it's honestly the University of YouTube. I mean, if you
want to learn how to code, University of YouTube. You
can learn Python, you can learn rails, you can learn
and see ship. If you can learn whatever, it is
you want to learn, and there are people who are
really good at teaching these things on these platforms, and
that's period, point blank. That's it. Well, who are the
people could have been? There's a lot of programs to

(48:51):
like Black Girls Code, Isn't it? Absolutely yeah? Shout out
to shout out to Kimberley from Black Girls Code like
number one, Like it's it's hard to say, like you
you should listen to this person versus that person, because
specifically people learn in different ways, and so some people
are super visual learners, like so I can do front
end development, like I need to be able to refresh

(49:12):
my screen and see the code I just wrote, like,
but there are other people who are back end developers
who you don't see the work. You don't see the
result of their work on the front end of the
device or the computer. And so it's really depending on
how you learn. So I advise you go to YouTube,
you search, okay, how to build an app? Then you
can build a number one, You can build apps without code,

(49:32):
like there we are getting to a place in our
society where you don't have to learn necessarily how to code.
I'm blinking up, but it's it's called apps. Without code.
So if you just Google apps without code, it's a
black girl who's running this program, and you can literally
build and deploy apps to the different platforms without knowing
how to code. And because the interfaces today are such

(49:52):
that you are accommodated with tools where you can literally
build applications and into with integrated other third party softwares.
That is really like Dragon Drop sort of sort of situations.
What about the people on YouTube who think that technology
causes covid'll learn how to code from that? Hey, well

(50:16):
I want to I want to add on to that
to the New York Public Library because you know, I'm
an ambassador ambassador for them. They also have free classes
that kind of code. Yeah, so there's a lot of
places where you can get that information. Like you said, YouTube,
nice and easy, you can go to the Yeah, there's
so many different places. I think Facebook does a program
also where you can come in and learn how to code.

(50:37):
So do you start your children and start your children
as best you can early? Because number one is it's
a it's about representation number one. So you have to
show them like what does the end result potentially look like?
And so if you can expose your your your children
to stories, um to success stories because again, like they
want to be Lebron because they see Lebron. But if

(50:58):
they want to be you know again, my daughter said
area on the grounded because they see area on the grounded.
But if you can show you your kids you know
these again Jessica Matthews Kimberly from Black Girl's Cold The
Paul Judges of the World, like, if you can show
your kids these people, then they see people who look
like them and are really really doing it. It really
just boils down the money. Like when you see somebody

(51:19):
like Robert Smith, and Robert Smith can pay forty million
people can't pay forty million dollars to the class of
more healthy. Like he got that kind of money. Now
you start paying attention to what he does. Absolutely, absolutely
we need we need to highlight these stories. And I
appreciate the work that you guys are doing here, you know,
highlighting these stories, because this is like super important because
only if the NBA is only gonna get so big,

(51:41):
it's only gonna be so many spots on these teams.
But isn't it isn't you know, unlimited opportunity in this
world of creating efficiencies that at scale, which which bids
the byproduct of the technology, where anybody with a good
idea can employ technology to make that idea come become real,
and that people can be using it all over the

(52:02):
world and you can really change your life by using this.
My last question, why why is the Black Tech Green
Money podcast necessary? These are the conversations we have amongst ourselves.
I'll say that these are These are the places where
the Black Tech Green Money is a place where those
people who have done it, the people who have done
what you want to do, can have the conversations with

(52:24):
us that they can't have on other stages and other podcasts.
These are conversations, the insights. If you want to build
legacy and wealth utilizing tech or in tech, and you
want to know how to do it strategically, how to
do it? What are the tactics, not just like some
you know, overarching global general you know response to questions,

(52:45):
but actually how do you do it? This is the
podcast you need to be listening to if you are
if you are aiming to build wealth, if you are
aiming to use tech to build a scalable solution, this
is the podcast you need to be listening to, especially
if you're black, because if you are trying to build
wealth and legacy towards the future, not like looking backwards,

(53:05):
because the past is gone, the pre COVID world is gone.
There is a new world. And what Black Tech Green
Money allows us to do is have these conversations from
our perspective to find out how we can win. Give
me your Twitters, in your Instagrams and all that good stuff.

Salute through the Morgan and let's just keep let's just
keep teaching our people. Man, thank you. See the guy,

(53:50):
It's the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela
Yee Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
It's a Thursday, and let's get to these rumors. Let's go.
This is the rum of report with Angela years so

(54:13):
for the Hollywood Reporter, Billy Porter has decided to tell
some very important parts of his story. He said that
he is HIV positive, but he also said the diagnosis
came at one of his lowest points. He said it
was two thousand and seven, the worst year of his life,
and he was on the precipice of obscurity for about
a decade or so. He said, By February, I have

(54:34):
been diagnosed with type two diabetes. By March, I signed
bankruptcy papers, and by June I was diagnosed HIV positive.
Now here's what he had to say about going to
trauma therapy. I started trauma therapy to begin the process
of healing, as opposed to how I had been navigating

(54:54):
through the world up until that time. You know, my
trauma served me, My story served me in terms of
forward motion for a very long time. Alright. He goes
on to talk about how the diagnosis came about. Even
he said he had a pimple on his butt, and
it got larger and larger and harder and harder, and

(55:15):
then it started to hurt. And one day he was like,
I got to get this taken care of. So he
said at the front desk. The queen at the front
desk asked him, you want an HIV test? The only
ten dollars, and he said yes, time and he was
getting tested every six months and he went in got
his pimple drained, and then he got tested. The doctor
came back and told him he was positive, so that
that's an actual symptom of HIV like when you get

(55:37):
He said it was just a fluke that he had
that and then he was in there. They asked him,
do you want to get a test just because you're here?
You're here. You had to clear that up because you
made it seem like a pimple on the butt is
a is a way that people could well quote I
quote it exactly what he says could happen. I've gotten
knows often. I was like, huh, okay, you get pimples
on your butt life, maybe you need to make sure

(56:00):
that you scrub and exfoliate your butt. Really, it doesn't
get clogged up. Just like you expoliate your you want
to get rid of that dead lay your skin so
it can come out foliate your butt. Yeah, you don't
use exfoli my face. On my face, I get a
nice scrub. They had some good ones from Shame moist
share as a nice scrub. Yeah, you should scrub your

(56:22):
whole body. Try to cheek full cheeks. Yeah all right. Now,
he did let everybody around him know that he was
HIV positive, but he couldn't bring himself to share it publicly,
and he also was afraid to tell his mom at first.
The manifestation of the shame was not being able to
tell my mother. But my mother having been through so

(56:43):
much already, there was already so much of it in
her life that she had to deal with because of
my queerness, that I just didn't want her to have
to live through. There, I told you so of it all.
You know, I had made a pact with myself that
I would let her die before I told her. Man,
I mean, that has to be a tough one to

(57:04):
reveal to the world. Like you know, many people probably
and you know entertainment and Hollywood who are HIV positive,
but don't say anything like this thing about in our lifetimes.
I can only think of three people that went public, right,
I'm sure it's some mother's but man's. It's a lot
of people who'll be keeping nothing himself. So for Billy
to live his truth in that way, that had to
be difficult, right, And like you said, he did tell

(57:24):
a lot of the people around him, so everybody around
him knew, but he just never publicly told everyone. And
here's what happened when he had his conversation with his mom.
I haven't seen her in a while. Let me just
call and talk to her. Not even two minutes in
the conversation, she was like, what's wrong. Mother always knows
And I said nothing, nothing, and she's like, son, please

(57:45):
tell me what's wrong. So I ripped the band aid
off and I just told her and she said, I
love you. I've always loved you. That will never change. Damn.
And now now he's saying it's time to grow up
and move on because shame is destructive and if not
dealt with, it can destroy everything in its path. And

(58:06):
he also talks about the advancements in medicine that have
dramatically increased the quality of life for people with HIV. Yeah,
I mean, he didn't know the world that, but I mean,
in his position, if he wants to be an example
the others living with HIV, I understand and just living
your truth is free and right. Yeah, and I commend
him for that. Man. I remember doing a panel with
about all the advancements they've made with HIV medicines and

(58:28):
being on a panel with people who are HIV positive
that have very productive lives for decades. So you can't
live with HIV and live a fruitful life. And so
I do commend him for coming out and being able
to say that. You know, we do HIV testing every
year at the Juice Bar, and so it's always interesting
to me because I get tested every year too when
everyone comes in and does it. And there have been

(58:49):
people who have tested positive for HIV when they came
in to do their tests. But it is important. Yeah, yeah,
I wouldn't want I don't want to know that news
on the spot not there well, no one like they
don't tell me who it is Drivate. They have counselors
on hand and everything so that they can go ahead
and start you in the process of making sure that
you're you know, eating what you're supposed to eat, making

(59:10):
sure that you're taking the medicine, all of those things.
It's important to know. So you can't have a healthy life.
And you know, you see people like Billy Porter like
removes the stigma of whatever you think, you know, living
with magic, And you know, I'm always curious to to
you know, magic Johnson has HIV is no longer detected
in the system. Nobody ever says, how is that true.

(59:31):
I don't know if that's true. Yeah, he said it's
no longer detected in the system. He didn't say he
didn't have it. He said it's not detected in this
in this body, all the different cocktails of medication that
you can take, Yeah, you can go on and be fine.
So all right, well that is your rumor report. All
right now, Charlomae, who you giving that? Donkor too? We
need ninety percent of the GOP who voted against this

(59:53):
independent Commission to investigate the Q on January sixth to
come to the front of the congregation. We like to
have a world within place, all right, we'll get into that.
Nextus to Breakfast Club, go morning, So Breakfast Club, your
mornings will never be the same. Hey, it's Angela Yee.
By using brands like Dove and Helmets, you're supporting Unilever
and the everyday good they do like donating more than

(01:00:15):
twenty five million dollars worth of everyday products and services
to groups like Feeding America this year. Visit Unilever does
Good dot com to support communities impacted by the pandemic.
This is a miracle, there is no question. And there
are problems in this country between police and community. Yes,

(01:00:36):
you are a donkey to the latest on that police
killing of a black man. Now a new developments in
the deathly spawshooting rampage. If it was a really bad
day for him, and this is what he did, and
so we are in a state of emergency. Okay. White
supremative violence is always has been the number one threat
to oxcide. But I'm also very proud that my wife

(01:00:56):
was white because the breakfast club bitches. Sorry, please tell
me why was I your donkey of the day. Donkey
of to day for Thursday, May twenty if goes to
the ninety percent of Republicans who are battling against an
independent commission. Okay, on the attempted coup of this country

(01:01:16):
on January six, I speak about the insurrection in this
country as often as I can, because that is something
we should never forget, especially when it doesn't seem like
anyone is truly being held responsible. In my forty two
years of existence on this planet, I have never seen
a greater example of white privilege than what happened on
January six. That was a textbook definition of a coup, okay,

(01:01:37):
a sudden, violent and illegal seizure of power from a government.
We talk about people being unpatriotic, what's more unpatriotic than treason? Okay.
I said to y'all months ago that Democrats, Republicans, you know,
any American, black, white, Puerto Rican an Asian, if you
truly care about this country, you will never let them
forget what happened on January six. You will constantly remind
folks of the domestic terrorists that star I'm the Capitol Building,

(01:02:01):
and you would make sure every single member of Vanilla
Isis and Al Cracker are held responsible for the act
of treason they committed in this country. But no, y'all
treat an attempt to coop at this country like it's
just a bunch of kids. While in that that spring
break like it was like it was a brunch that
got a little rowdy. What message did that sinto the
rest of the world. That's the question I've been asking

(01:02:22):
myself since that attempted coup happens, And I don't understand
why it's not TV commercials, billboards, magazine ads that constantly
remind folks of what Donald Trump and his rhetoric caused
to happen in this country on January six, Any human
being who truly gives a damn would be all for
this independent commission on the insurrection. If you don't know
what that commission is, it's simple, the agreement which set

(01:02:44):
up an independent commission to investigate the failings that allowed
a pro Trump mob to overrun the Capitol. Why wouldn't
anyone who claims to be a patriot, who claims to
be America first, why wouldn't they want this? Why wouldn't
they want this bill? Because this why, I mean, why
wouldn't they want this independent mission? Because this independent commission
will have people looking under the hood to see what's

(01:03:04):
really going on, and it would make folks take a
real deep look into the road. The former celebrity and
chief played in the coup, and how he communicated with
others in the GOP that day, and how he responded
to rioters as they invaded the capital. Basically, Donald Trump
is Nino Brown, the GOP is the CMB, and this
independent commission to investigate the attempted coup well the effects.

(01:03:28):
So of course the CMB or GOP with block an
investigation because they know this is bigger than Nino Brown.
And Trump got a list to prove it, and if
he goes down, he's taken a lot of people with him.
It's really that simple. So like most things, it passed
the House would probably won't pass the Senate. Would you
like to hear with g money I mean, I mean
Mitch McConnell had to say about this independent commission and
why he doesn't support it. Listen, I've made the decision

(01:03:50):
to oppose the House Democrats slatted an unbalanced proposal or
another commission to study the events of January the sex
is everybody surely knows. I repeatedly made my views about
the events of January the six very clear. So, mister President,
it's not at all clear what new fox or additional
investigation yet another commission could actually lay on top of

(01:04:12):
existing approached by law enforcement in Congress. Why does mister
McConnell talk like he's got his jaw wired? Is that
a consequence of having no lips. I mean, damn, he
could be a ventriloquist. I mean he actually is, because
he speaks for the GOP and most of them his puppets.
But he said something in that statement that I haven't
an answer to. He said, it's not at all clear
what new facts are. Additional investigation, yet another commission could

(01:04:35):
actually lay on top of existing efforts by law enforcement
in Congress. Well, I'll tell you what a deeper investigation
could find, all the players involved, including the politicians. And furthermore,
you can't go deep enough on what happened on January six.
Domestic terrorists from the Capitol and tried to overthrow the
results of a presidential election. That's not normal anyway, especially

(01:05:00):
in America. That's death by firing squad in some countries.
I read a story and the Associated Press from July
twenty seventh, nineteen ninety about forty two men, forty two
convicted coup plotters who were executed by firing squad. Okay,
I think this happened to Nigeria. So when you see
how history has shown us how other countries handle their
attempted coups, it makes you wonder why is America handling

(01:05:21):
their attempted coups so whitely, I mean lightly. You can't
go deep enough on any investigation regarding January six. I'll
tell you, like a COVID test that told me when
I asked, how deep will he go? And he said
until he feels resistance. Well, we're getting resistance now, okay
from ninety percent of the GOP. But I say go deeper. Now.

(01:05:43):
I have to commend to thirty five Republicans who have
joined Democrats to support the measure. But I'm not giving
you too much credit because it's a damn shame that
we live in a country where we have to commend
up politicians for doing the right thing. Okay, especially in
regard to domestic terrorism. Now, I don't trust too many
politicians to be anything but politicians. You know, Over the
last few years, I've really got to know some politicians
and some folks. Some folks I dislike his humans, And

(01:06:05):
this next person I'm about to play is one of them.
This is just a morally sound human who happens to
be white, who just wants to do the right thing. Okay,
me and this guy have meditated together, we speak. I
like this guy and We need folks who speak truth
to power, especially in politics. Tim Ryan, Ohio, the floor
is yours. I want to thank the gentlemen from New
York and the other Republicans who are supporting this and

(01:06:27):
thank them for their bipartisanship. To the other ninety percent
of our friends on the other side of the aisle,
Holy cow, incoherence, no idea what you're talking about, Ben
Gods that you guys chase the former secretary of State
all over the country spent millions of dollars. We have
people scaling the capitol, hitting the capitol. Police would lead

(01:06:48):
pipes across the head. And we can't get bipartisanship. What
else has to happen in this country. This is a
slap in the face to every rank and file cop
in the United States. If we're gonna take on China,
if we're gonna rebuild the country, if we're gonna reverse
climate change, we need two political parties in this country
that are both living in reality. And you ain't one

(01:07:10):
of them. Who dropping the clues pomps for Tim Rode.
But Tim, you gotta start cursing. Okay, you have to
start cursing, Tim that Holy cow, don't hit a hard
is what you really wanted to see? Can you play?
Just play the Holy Cow part again? Holy Cow? Come
on man, now listen. Okay, Now that's what I need
you to true Holy can. If you're gonna say holy Cow, Tim,

(01:07:35):
you're gonna have to really take it there. I need
you to put some of that real white sauce on it.
Make it as Caucasian as possible. If you go to
do it like this, Holy Cow, Holy birthday cake, holy rainbow,
Holy Cinderella, Holy shrinkage, Gosh, golly, g willigrassimmone chippity dupe.
We have people scaling the Capitol, hitting the Capitol police
withou lead pipes across the head, and we can't get

(01:07:57):
bi partisanship. That's right, Tim, Okay, Tim, ask the valid
question two? What else has to happen in this country?
What else? What else? Well, if you don't hold folks
accountable for what happened on January sixth, I'm talking everyone
from politicians to the domestic terrorists, We're gonna find out,
and I don't think America is ready for the answer.

(01:08:17):
Please give the ninety percent of the GOP who are
battling against the Independent Commission on the attempted coups. On
January sixth, the biggest he haul all right, all right,

all these things too. I just don't understand why he
sees it. He probably thinks that you know, you're doing
these things, spending time with him, you're going away with him.
Eventually you're going to break down and be in a
relationship with him. But if you care about somebody and
you know that's not your intention, you can't keep on
leading them on like this. Oh everybody told me that,

(01:15:13):
so I thought that. I can't accept saying I think
if you, I don't think you should. I mean, I
feel like that is bad armor. I feel like you
said you've been telling him, but there your actions aren't
saying that right. And a lot of times we always
tell people not to be delusion and on his behalf,
he should know. Okay, she's telling me she doesn't want
to be with me, she's not with me, but then
you're going away with him. Well I almost believe me. God,

(01:15:38):
he had to convince me to go. Yeah, it just
feels like it's not It's really not nice, honestly, Maria,
if you care about somebody to do things like that,
would you want somebody to do that to you, Well
I would. I wouldn't put myself in exactly. But he
has it and it feels like he's vulnerable. Maybe it's
his self esteem, but you are taking advantage. Okay, So

(01:16:03):
I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but
it's really not cool. No, I know, because I'm called.
I'm called multiple days. They're gonna happen like what I
do with him, and all these situations for happens that
were supposed to be going out with Cuspy. Yeah, let
him be able to find somebody who cares about him
the way he cares about them. If it's not you,

(01:16:25):
let him at least free up to be able to
put that work in with somebody who wants him. Also,
I mean, I just try to give him a team
still hanging around, but hell, I need to do I know,
I know you're gonna go on this trip anyway, So
the last piece of advice I'm gonna give you is
bring some friends on the trip. Also, okay, all right,

(01:16:46):
there you go. Thank you. Yeah foul, all right, I
ask you, why are we foul? You know for doing
stuff like that? Not you, but people like that. That's foul.
I feel bad for him. I don't even know him.
Ask ye don't drink five eight five one on five
one that we got rumors on the way. Yes, and
let's talk about Demi Levado. We'll tell you what they
had to say. All right, we'll get into it next.

(01:17:08):
It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. I
got what you need morning. Everybody is DJ and Angela
y Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club, good morning.
Ain't got nothing knowing under that role and that that
breeze just blew a little. I was singing, Chris Brownson,
what you all heard? What you say? I got what

(01:17:30):
you need? And then nobody with you? All right, King,
do your thing, All right, Let's get to the rooms.
Let's talk. Demi Levado, it's about this is the rumor report,
Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Demi Levido took

(01:17:50):
the Twitter to let everybody know that she is changing
their pronouns from she herd to vyth them. She said,
every day we wake up and you're giving another opportunity,
a chance to be who we want and wish to be.
I've spent the majority of my life growing in front
of all of you. You've seen the good, the bad,
and everything in between. That only has my life been
a journey for myself, I was also living for those
on the other side of the cameras. Today's a day

(01:18:12):
I'm so happy to share more of my life with
you all. I'm proud to let you know that I
identify as non binary and will officially be changing my
pronouns to they them moving forward. Here's what she said
on Twitter. I want to take this moment to share
something very personal with you. Over the past year and
a half, I've been doing some healing and self reflective work,
and through this work, I've had the revelation that I

(01:18:33):
identify as non binary. With that said, I'll officially be
changing my pronouns today them. I feel that this best
represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression and
allows me to feel most authentic and true to the
person I both know I am and still am discovering. Question. No, no,
you don't want to hear from you. No, but I
thought they mean two or more people. That's what I

(01:18:56):
thought too. I'm not gonna lie to pronoun thing did
confuse me because I thought I did think they. Then
with plural, I thought it means more than one and
college said they are hatus to it? So what is it? Yeah?
What is I thought they was two more? Well, in
this particular case, it's stay them for a DEMI because
they doesn't want to be referred to as a he

(01:19:18):
him or she her, So it's stay them, you know,
non binary? Okay, and listen. If we slip up, I apologize.
I just want to put that out there too, because
you know, sometimes you're so used to saying something in
a certain way that you might use the wrong pronoun.
You know. The only time I've been catching myself over

(01:19:38):
the past few years is when I'm talking about God,
because we have a tendency to say God and he
and it's just like I just say, I try to
just say God as opposed to saying, you know, he
blesses me or you know what I mean. Yes, they
won't he do it? Yeah, that's a true Damn Won't
God do it? That's what I say, Won't God do it?
Look at God? I don't know, man, I'm too stupid

(01:19:59):
fall of this to be honest. You are all right,
um and Russell Simmons and Kamara Lee Russell Is Simmons.
Russell Simmons is suing his ex wife and accusing her
a fraud. So, according to the Blast, he has filed
a lawsuit against Kamara and her husband Tim for allegedly
siphoning some of his shares and the Celsius Energy drink

(01:20:20):
company so they could use that those shares is collateral
to post bond for her husband, who is currently facing
a series of federal charges and calling conspirac that's they're
telling me to pay my meeter, all right. So prior
to that incident, Russell Simmons and Camara and Tim had
all invested tens of millions into Celsius. But now he's

(01:20:44):
being charged with laundering money. So now he has to sue. Uh.
Tim is being accused of laundering money. So Russell Simmons
is now suing Camara for using that money for his bond. Now,
can you sue your ex wife? If you're all cool? Friend?
But I mean if you're cool though, like if y'all
really cool, y'all friends, if you can't settle it, then

(01:21:07):
you have to. It's a lot of money on the line.
So yes, I'm sure it feels disrespectful. Y'all want some
good news? Sure? All right? Asap Rocky and Rihanna, he
is saying that Rihanna is the love of his life.
He said, my lady so much better when you got
the one. She amounts to probably like a million of
the other ones. I think when you know, you know

(01:21:28):
she's the one. And he's on the cover of GQ's
June July feature issue. Well, you know what to do.
As if you like to put a ring on, okay
and take her last name, I would be asap fanty.
You hear me name please, I'm asap fanty Rihanna Rocky
hard dat name. I'm sure that's not his last name,

(01:21:50):
all right, now, guys, they and they were also showing
asap Rocky pictures of him and Rihanna on the red carpet.
And here's what he said about one of the pictures
of the two of them. That's a photo because she
looked fired right there. She looks sexy as I love
her brother, that's remember. Yeah, you know why. Though she
might have wore way better stuff. It's just I was

(01:22:10):
there in person to see it on her. She designed
my my tuxedo. That's a fancy tuxedo with the rick
Ons shoes on, but she designed it. I was all
fancy that day. I don't see that young king saying
nothing wrong. All I hear him saying is the right things.
Is that what he's supposed to be saying? Yes, okay, okay,

(01:22:31):
I'm sure he means it all right. And another break
up news this time future they're saying that he's taking
a dig at Laurie Harvey on his leake snippet of
a song with him and four too, Doug, And here
is that snippet. I couldn't even hear it was leaked,

(01:22:55):
so it is what it is. So you could have
just said that because we I could understand anything they
were saying. Huge change. Never got to worry about being
our family few Now after that, well that is your report,
