Speaker 1: Now I don't think that, don't think that series is
Speaker 1: gonna be a pushover for the Lake because he's about
Speaker 1: the way n Nuggets is tough. They definitely are tough.
Speaker 1: We're starting easy. And just so you guys know, the
Speaker 1: University of Notre Dame was for us to postpone their
Speaker 1: football game against against Wake Forest after multiple student athletes
Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID nineteen. And that's just an fyi,
Speaker 1: all right. Michael Bloomberg has raised more than sixteen million dollars,
Speaker 1: and that is to help convicted felons in Florida registered
Speaker 1: to vote. The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition estimated that his
Speaker 1: push has already paid off monetary obligations for thirty two
Speaker 1: thousand felons. Just back in twenty eighteen, Florida past the
Speaker 1: law reinstating voting rights for felons that dictated they could
Speaker 1: register only if they pay off fines, fees, and restitution.
Speaker 1: Sometimes that totaled more than one thousand dollars and they
Speaker 1: had to pay those fines and restitutions oh to the
Speaker 1: government before they could vote. I saw that a lot
Speaker 1: of people were also raising money for this, like Michael Vican,
Speaker 1: Desmond Mede. They worked with to restore people's voting rights
Speaker 1: as well in Florida. The Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Why does he have to raise that money? I mean,
Speaker 1: salute the Bloomberg was a great jestivor Why does he
Speaker 1: have to raise the money? He an't got that in
Speaker 1: his pocket and didn't Bloomberger. He was gonna send whatever
Speaker 1: didn't bloombergday, He's gonna spend whatever to get TRUMPA. He
Speaker 1: did say that, Yeah, why did he have to raise
Speaker 1: the money? He should have that like just laying around somewhere.
Speaker 1: I thought he donated some of his own money. That's
Speaker 1: what I thought. That's what I do. Well, maybe it
Speaker 1: is some of his own money. I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: he as a fund that he uses for that. All right. Now,
Speaker 1: imagine you're sitting on the porch at your own house
Speaker 1: and officers come and hold you at gunpoint and put
Speaker 1: handcuffs on you. Well, that happened in Wisconsin on June second.
Speaker 1: A young black man, Kyante First, was arrested in his home.
Speaker 1: Cops came, they pointed guns at him, and now police
Speaker 1: are saying it was just a mistake. So, just to
Speaker 1: give you some background, the home belonged to Keyante's coach,
Speaker 1: who was allowing him and another teammate to stay in
Speaker 1: the house after his mother who previously lived in the
Speaker 1: home had passed away, and apparently one of the neighbors
Speaker 1: called nine one listen to this, okay, okay, and where
Speaker 1: is it happening? That it's the Africana Mari's town which
Speaker 1: Swift friends police flop and a wife shirt on the
Speaker 1: suspicious activity home, sitting on the sitting on the porch.
Speaker 1: Now here is what Kyante first said when the cops came,
Speaker 1: Police department, Come out with your hands up, Come out
Speaker 1: with your hands up. Okay, you don't live here my
Speaker 1: coach's house, Coach Rundo, Okay, you let me in Torres
Speaker 1: State here you can call them Maxellent okay for right now,
Speaker 1: just turn around the chanda is it Yante? Okay for
Speaker 1: jans bending back for a second? First? Canna contain here though,
Speaker 1: because you don't live here and the person that lived
Speaker 1: your passed away. So okay, can you guys call coach. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna do. Well, you know, if police
Speaker 1: stopped perceiving black people is guilty before they are proven innocent,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have those problems like some people. Some white
Speaker 1: people already think the worst of the worst of black
Speaker 1: people as soon as they hear black, they pull up
Speaker 1: like that, all right, Why wouldn't the coach? Right? And
Speaker 1: here are the chance of aging. This is the reason
Speaker 1: why you're here. Someone called because they know because I'm
Speaker 1: a black man, and it's that lady right. So even
Speaker 1: though she weighed at mean, I wasn't because the person
Speaker 1: that lived here, okay, right, and they're concerned that it
Speaker 1: got broken into or something. So turm, I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: them off for your quick We'll go grab your phone
Speaker 1: and get on the phone with Mark. Okay, you didn't answer,
Speaker 1: but but it sounds like another neighbor knows that you
Speaker 1: guys are here. So it's a misunderstanding. So sorry for
Speaker 1: the misunderstanding on our part. See that. Yeah, it absolutely.
Speaker 1: After you traumatize a brother emotionally and mentally, all you
Speaker 1: get is an apology. And I really for doing nothing
Speaker 1: but being in the house that could have went so left. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: And why why wouldn't a neighbor called the coach? If
Speaker 1: you're the neighbor, don't you have the coaches number? You
Speaker 1: can't pick up the phone and say, hey, man, are
Speaker 1: you expecting guests? Is somebody staying in your house? And
Speaker 1: then she described them black with white pants on. She
Speaker 1: might not have had the coaches number because it's the
Speaker 1: coaches mom that used to live there, So maybe she
Speaker 1: didn't have the coaches number. I don't know. But if
Speaker 1: they look, if they're sitting on the porch, do you
Speaker 1: think that house is going to be king forever? No
Speaker 1: one's ever gonna move in? And why does she notice
Speaker 1: his sweatpants? Why does she describe the sweatpants? There must
Speaker 1: have been great sweatpants. Scared the hell out of that woman.
Speaker 1: She saw that and thought he was concealing a weapon

Speaker 1: origularly scheduled to launch with the Black Black Effect, but
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't get the negotiations done in time.
Speaker 1: But I definitely have some faith based podcasts coming. Okay,
Speaker 1: my mind is totally different because according to mind, it
Speaker 1: tells you that spiritually, before we lived here on this earth,
Speaker 1: we lived in heaven. You know what I mean. But
Speaker 1: I don't want to take up too much time. But
Speaker 1: Sean may do me a favorite. When whenever you're saying,

Speaker 1: whenever a man, whenever a man says I don't go
Speaker 1: that way, but shout out to him, that means he's
Speaker 1: willing to go that way. That's right. Eight und five
Speaker 1: eight five one on five one and get it off
Speaker 1: your chances to Breakfast club. Good morning the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Did your time to get it off your chest? Whether
Speaker 1: you're man or blessed Hofy beould have the same innut
Speaker 1: we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Allow,
Speaker 1: who's this? Hey? What's going on? This is what's going on?
Speaker 1: What's happening? Man? And I got to talk to you
Speaker 1: about that story you just had on there about the
Speaker 1: tops being called the guy sir, Yes, Well, let me
Speaker 1: ask you a question. How was it suppot the cops
Speaker 1: supposed to go into that situation. I mean, they sounded
Speaker 1: like they were professional. The guy was willing to um,
Speaker 1: you know, accommodate them. He allowed them to do their job.
Speaker 1: He wasn't confrontational. And you know, if he was saying
Speaker 1: how that could have gotten so bad and somebody could
Speaker 1: have gotten shot. But I mean everybody, they didn't have
Speaker 1: to put They didn't have to put him in handcuffs.
Speaker 1: They could have checked out his story first. He told
Speaker 1: them like, hey, could you call coach such and such.
Speaker 1: This is his house where the guests here. They could
Speaker 1: have called the coach and verified the story. They would
Speaker 1: have definitely did that for a white woman. It would
Speaker 1: have definitely did that for a white man. How do
Speaker 1: you know definitely? You know you guys always speaking. They
Speaker 1: because we heard a story yesterday of a woman who
Speaker 1: took off on a high speed chase from the police
Speaker 1: after telling them she's not going to jail. When she
Speaker 1: said when they when they said, hey, we'll put your
Speaker 1: hand behind your back, we're gonna arrest you, she said
Speaker 1: nope and sped off. Nothing happened to her when they
Speaker 1: finally caught her a row blocks later. Well, I do
Speaker 1: want to just note one thing from what you said
Speaker 1: from how I reported the story, when I said things
Speaker 1: could have gone left, that was more on behalf of
Speaker 1: the woman calling the cops on people just because she
Speaker 1: saw two black men in a house that was sitting
Speaker 1: on the porch. They weren't. She didn't see them breaking
Speaker 1: in a window, she saw them sitting outside. They'd clearly
Speaker 1: been living there for a few days. She waved at them,
Speaker 1: so she could have just engaged. I'm so I was
Speaker 1: referring to her calling the cops for that purpose. Again,
Speaker 1: it just always changed, like it comes down to this
Speaker 1: definitive if it was a black man versus it was
Speaker 1: a white man. And I just think that, you know,
Speaker 1: you had to go to like Wisconsin or something to
Speaker 1: find that story. So I mean, I'm sure if I
Speaker 1: scour with the uh, you know, newspapers days, I would faring,
Speaker 1: you know, stories to the contrary. So all I'm saying
Speaker 1: is that it's not as exfinitive. It's not because the
Speaker 1: cops were white and because the guy was blasted. Sometimes
Speaker 1: cops are a little more fortunates, Sometimes cops are a
Speaker 1: little more aggressive. It's it's a people problem, not a
Speaker 1: little problems, you know. Right now, I'm thinking more about
Speaker 1: how they thought that. Imagine you were in your house,
Speaker 1: just mandy, your business, where you're supposed to be, and
Speaker 1: the cops come in and draw guns on you and
Speaker 1: handcuff you. Just imagine how traumatic something like that is
Speaker 1: and how that would make you feel no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: I agree, that's what I think about it. Question. But
Speaker 1: you have to understand the cops are going into this situation, okay,
Speaker 1: expecting the worst, hoping for the best. They'll go into
Speaker 1: a house where they're old. The person that is there
Speaker 1: is not the owner. The first of all, it didn't
Speaker 1: have to put him in handcuffs, sir, and you know
Speaker 1: that I have a nice thank you, thank you for
Speaker 1: your color. Because we can't tell about this. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know and I want to say, I don't
Speaker 1: know what the protocol is. And the cops did seem
Speaker 1: polite the way they was making and it wasn't the lady.
Speaker 1: It's just call the police on some individuals that she
Speaker 1: didn't know what didn't see, which I understand too. Lady
Speaker 1: looks in the house. I don't know who they are,
Speaker 1: but just the way that it was descript that they
Speaker 1: would describe they weren't doing anything. And like you said,
Speaker 1: they could have called the people at the old house. Hey,
Speaker 1: there's some people here. You just don't call the people
Speaker 1: because you see black people that you know about. How
Speaker 1: about when you finally get to the house, just and
Speaker 1: once the black person gives you a story, how about
Speaker 1: following up on that story? Right, you don't have to
Speaker 1: put him in handcuffs, all right, get it off your chest.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five one on five one. We
Speaker 1: got roomors on the way. Yes, and where do we start. Well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about a person who is voting for the
Speaker 1: first time in this election, and he didn't even know
Speaker 1: he could vote. So we'll explain that. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get into that next. Keep a lock to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Go morning the Breakfast Club. Listen, it's just oh Reports,
Speaker 1: it's the Rumal Report with Breakfast Club. Well, Mike Tyson
Speaker 1: is fifty four years old and he's never voted before,
Speaker 1: and he's going to be voting for the first time
Speaker 1: this year. He tweeted out, this will be my first
Speaker 1: time voting. I never thought I could because of my
Speaker 1: felony record. I'm proud to finally vote, and then he
Speaker 1: put up a link to register to vote, and he
Speaker 1: hashtag National Voter Registration Day because he was convicted and
Speaker 1: sentenced to six years in prison, and that was back
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety two for rape in two counts of
Speaker 1: deviant sexual conduct, and that stripped him of his right
Speaker 1: to vote. Now, a lot of state laws about the
Speaker 1: US rule felons ineligible to vote, and about six million Americans,
Speaker 1: which is two point five percent of the nation's voting
Speaker 1: age population, couldn't vote in the twenty sixteen election because
Speaker 1: of felony records. But right now there's been a movement
Speaker 1: toward restoring convicted felons their right to vote on a
Speaker 1: state by state basis. So in Nevada they signed a
Speaker 1: law to restore voting rights to all persons convicted of
Speaker 1: felony upon release from prison in twenty nineteen. All right now,
Speaker 1: Snoop Dogg in the meantime, has teamed up with Rock
Speaker 1: the Vote and One Vote Closer as a social initiative,
Speaker 1: and this is the first election he's voting in. He said,
Speaker 1: how the system is set up. I honestly didn't know
Speaker 1: that I was allowed to vote based on my past history.
Speaker 1: My record has been expunged, so I'm gonna be out
Speaker 1: here at this election. I have to get involved. As
Speaker 1: I'm looking around at what's happening in the world right now,
Speaker 1: I know that we need to make an immediate change
Speaker 1: and we can't take back Ido, which is why along
Speaker 1: with one by partner would rock the vote and one
Speaker 1: vote closer. And he said he's going to be using
Speaker 1: his influence to let people know the only option is
Speaker 1: to get out and vote. I saluted old brothers man
Speaker 1: drop on a clue box for Snoop dogg in Mike Tyson.
Speaker 1: If they found a reason to vote. I'm happy that
Speaker 1: they're voting all right now. Ray J is talking about
Speaker 1: filing for divorce, and you know he filed for divorce
Speaker 1: and Princess Love found out about it the same time
Speaker 1: we did online. And here's what he had to say
Speaker 1: when he was on the rail yesterday. Did you tell her? No?
Speaker 1: I didn't. When you're in your own relationship, sometimes you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you do things spontaneously, Sometimes you move too fast.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you make mistakes, you know what I mean. And
Speaker 1: so I'm not saying that that's what I did or
Speaker 1: I made a mistake, but I don't know if I
Speaker 1: did make a mistake. I don't know, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? You know I have every right to just
Speaker 1: not know, you know, and still just try to figure
Speaker 1: it out now. Genie May then pressed him about whether
Speaker 1: or not he wants to be married, not just be
Speaker 1: with his family, but be married. It seems like you
Speaker 1: want to get back together. Do you want to get
Speaker 1: back together with Princess? I mean, I just I want
Speaker 1: to be with my family, yes, but I want to know.
Speaker 1: Do you want to be married the kids? Yes, but
Speaker 1: you have to have a happy family from a happy, stable,
Speaker 1: loyal marriage. And do you want a happy, stable, loyal
Speaker 1: marriage that's a happy family party. Yes. As far as counseling,
Speaker 1: it sounds like the couple does definitely need it. And
Speaker 1: here's what ray J had to say about that. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just felt like the counseling was more
Speaker 1: so a hustle. It's like if the counselor is on
Speaker 1: one side, then the other person might get mad. So
Speaker 1: I just felt like it would it would get one sided.
Speaker 1: But hey, maybe we do need counseling. Maybe mind would
Speaker 1: you be open to that? Now? Would you be open
Speaker 1: to that? Yeah? I mean I would. I mean I
Speaker 1: was I spent all weekend, you know, at the house
Speaker 1: with the kids and with Princess and my mom and
Speaker 1: her friends, and you know, it was it was just
Speaker 1: a good vibe and um, you know I just had
Speaker 1: to fall back and go, damn, this is a really, really,
Speaker 1: really good thing. Now, Princess Love was on Fox Sol
Speaker 1: with Claudia Jordan's and here's what you had to say
Speaker 1: about how now she doesn't want to work it out
Speaker 1: after all this, Princess, do you still love him? I
Speaker 1: always love him. Would you like to work it out
Speaker 1: with him? Um? I feel like right now we just
Speaker 1: I don't know, we just need to just really figure out. No,
Speaker 1: I don't right now. No, I don't not right now.
Speaker 1: I don't because I feel like by him, you actually
Speaker 1: filed for divorce, You made me spend money on a
Speaker 1: lawyer when we could have just talked about it and
Speaker 1: went to counseling or something. So obviously you don't want
Speaker 1: to be married to me. I mean, let's not forget
Speaker 1: she found out online, so that's not an easy thing
Speaker 1: to find out. Now. She does also say she regrets
Speaker 1: how she handled the original divorce filing. Why did you
Speaker 1: decide to work things out? Because you know, I wanted
Speaker 1: to fight from my marriage. You know, at the time
Speaker 1: all that happened, I was pregnant, I was hormonal, and
Speaker 1: looking back now, I really I realized that I shouldn't
Speaker 1: have handled it that way. But you know, when you're
Speaker 1: trying to get somebody's attention and you wanted to know
Speaker 1: how you feel, and it's like can't find them, you know,
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. Looking back now, I know
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have did that, but you know, it happened.
Speaker 1: So you regret saying you wanted to end it. No,
Speaker 1: I regret putting my business out there. Damn rage. I
Speaker 1: just wish taking handless inside of doing it's so public
Speaker 1: like this, you know, Yeah, I feel sorry if the
Speaker 1: princess and Raja and by the way, people, counseling is
Speaker 1: not a hustle. Counseling as a resource that helps you
Speaker 1: and your queen, you know, on want accord and I
Speaker 1: wish they could have gotten that before they you know,
Speaker 1: you know, jump to the divorce of it all because
Speaker 1: it sounds like they've both have been making a lot
Speaker 1: of emotional decisions. And that's why you shouldn't move off emotion,
Speaker 1: you move off strategy and then yesterday Princess had the
Speaker 1: audacity to unmitigated gud to post that pick of her
Speaker 1: in a bikini going through something through something, you know,
Speaker 1: her DMS was happening. After that, I'm sure we're going
Speaker 1: do something. Don't do that, call the counselor. I don't
Speaker 1: want to divorce no more. All right, Well I'm Angela

Speaker 1: The Lakers lost last night. They leave the series to one.
Speaker 1: They lost to the Nuggets one fourteen, one oh six.
Speaker 1: Don't sleep on them goddamn Nuggets. I'm trying to tell
Speaker 1: you right now. I don't think the Nuggets are gonna
Speaker 1: win the series, but I think that they can push
Speaker 1: you to at least seven games. Those Nuggets are now Duke,
Speaker 1: all right, well, what else we got? Ye? The first
Speaker 1: president until debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden will
Speaker 1: focus on different topics, including the coronavirus pandemic, the Supreme Court,
Speaker 1: and ratio reckoning in this country. And they announced that yesterday.
Speaker 1: So that is going to be happening, as you know,
Speaker 1: on September twenty ninth. It'll be happening in Cleveland, Ohio
Speaker 1: at Case Western Reserve University. So they said are subjected, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they said the topics are subject to change though, based
Speaker 1: on news developments. But there's six segments. The six seconds
Speaker 1: are ohga. The topics are the Trump and Biden records,
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, COVID nineteen, the economy race, and violence
Speaker 1: in our cities and the integrity of the election. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the topics is subject to change based on how Donald
Speaker 1: Trump decides to change them. I highly died he sticks
Speaker 1: to the script, and I got my money on Trump
Speaker 1: in the debate. Biden simply can't outperform Trump. Trump is
Speaker 1: a better showman, and I believe Trump is gonna hit
Speaker 1: him with blows that Biden not ready for because let's
Speaker 1: be honest, Democrats don't ever seem fat, and it's like
Speaker 1: they will train Biden how to box when Trump is
Speaker 1: gonna come in there like a UFC fighter. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be boxing, he's gonna be kicking, he's gonna be biting, biting.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see it for Biden in the debate, hopefully.
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot of times Donald Trump says
Speaker 1: things that are just untrue, self serving, narcissistic, And it
Speaker 1: absolutely does because you can't argue with a person like that.
Speaker 1: You're using facts, but he's saying whatever just to win
Speaker 1: the argument and to answer certain questions. That's that's even
Speaker 1: better for Hillary told Hillary told Biden Hiller, Hillary told Joe, you, yo,
Speaker 1: You've never debated somebody like this. Because it's a person
Speaker 1: that's willing to lie and say any anything. You're you're
Speaker 1: going in there all structured with your facts, and Trump
Speaker 1: is out there freestyling. Don't know that lying in a debate, though,
Speaker 1: is a thing that will make people be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he did, great, shall see all right? And Donald Trump
Speaker 1: also says it. Supreme Court nominee will be announced Saturday
Speaker 1: at five pm. Who is replacing Ruth Bader Ginsburg? See
Speaker 1: less than a week. I don't even know. Funeral arrangements
Speaker 1: have been made for ALLBG. Come on, man, all right.

Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell give less of an F.
Speaker 1: They don't care, not at all. And that's why I
Speaker 1: tell everybody. And we've been saying this, and I know
Speaker 1: yesterday we've been talking about this, but every single day,

Speaker 1: and make sure you exercise You're right, all right. Authorities
Speaker 1: have arrested three men and one woman in connection with
Speaker 1: the death of a black man. His body was found
Speaker 1: burning a ditch in rural Iowa. Yes. One of the
Speaker 1: men arrested his thirty one year old Stephen Vogel. He's white.
Speaker 1: He was already in jail on unrelated charges and now
Speaker 1: he is facing charges of first degree murder and abuse
Speaker 1: of a corpse. According to the Department of Public Safety
Speaker 1: in Iowa, so authorities received a report of a fire
Speaker 1: and a roadside ditch on last Wednesday, just after five thirty.
Speaker 1: That man was identified as forty four year old Michael
Speaker 1: Williams of Grinnell. They said he was killed on or
Speaker 1: about September twelfth, and his body was then wrapped in
Speaker 1: cloth and plastics, secured with rope and tape, and then
Speaker 1: they took him to Kellogg on September sixteenth, that's where
Speaker 1: his body was set ablaze. According to this statement, so
Speaker 1: they did know each other. These two men, Williams and Vogel,
Speaker 1: and Vogel's mother, who shares a home with him, will
Speaker 1: face charges of abuse of a corpse, obstructing prosecution, and
Speaker 1: accessory after the fact. According to court documents, So there
Speaker 1: was a fourth person also who was arrested, Cody Johnson.
Speaker 1: He's used of abuse of a corpse, also in accessory
Speaker 1: after the fact, and his ex wife. Williams's ex wife,
Speaker 1: Jane Bolt, says that he was a family person. His
Speaker 1: kids were always important. He has four children and oh
Speaker 1: he has five children. She has four of them. So, yes,
Speaker 1: is that crazy? That's an understatement. Yea. They said he
Speaker 1: strangled him, and according to a witness. This witness alleges
Speaker 1: that Vogel strangled william showed him the body which was
Speaker 1: in the basement of his house, and the two of
Speaker 1: them knew each other for several years. Wow, I mean
Speaker 1: that means he really really hated that person. He hated
Speaker 1: decided that person so much so that him being dead
Speaker 1: wasn't enough. It's just like, get him out of my face,
Speaker 1: let me get him. I gotta get him away from you.
Speaker 1: I gotta make his body just disappear. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: all right, Well, that is and that's I mean, we
Speaker 1: don't know. Those are the details that we know. They
Speaker 1: got it. I guess whatever. He strangled them, and this
Speaker 1: is a black man. You don't have to reprangled him,
Speaker 1: put him in a ditch in Iowa, burned his body,
Speaker 1: and now being charged as long as well as the
Speaker 1: people that helped him cover this up. Lord Mercy. All right, well,
Speaker 1: last front page news. Now reset, guys, hard reset, Let's go.
Speaker 1: We come back. Stephen A. Smith will be joining us.
Speaker 1: We'll kick it with Stephen A. First take. It's the
Speaker 1: Legends of the Morning, the Breakfast Club holding. Everybody is
Speaker 1: dcha Envy Angela ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line,
Speaker 1: Stephen what's going on, y'all? How y'all doing, Stephen A,
Speaker 1: good morning, King, Good to see you. How you feeling today.
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, man. I hope y'all and all y'all
Speaker 1: loved ones are good ding these crazy times, bro, it's
Speaker 1: been crazy. It's Dad having crazy. You know. I watched
Speaker 1: you yesterday, Stephen Ay, like I do most days, and
Speaker 1: I said to myself, man, you know, Stephen Ay said
Speaker 1: that the Atlanta Falcons is the dumbest NFL team and
Speaker 1: the head coach Dan Quinn needs to go. But I
Speaker 1: didn't see you given the greatest NFL franchise of all time,
Speaker 1: or franchise that you picked, the whin the NFC East,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, any credit for the comeback. That's that's why
Speaker 1: you're trying to do right there. Y'all have damn Cowboys
Speaker 1: fans everywhere make me sick. But oh, my lord, was
Speaker 1: so sick. And the watch, I mean, listen, you got
Speaker 1: five guys surrounding the football, five guys, and they were
Speaker 1: treating it like they punted the football off to the
Speaker 1: other team. And they were waiting for the football or
Speaker 1: just go and go so they could get better. Y'all
Speaker 1: know you're supposed to pounce on the football, and they
Speaker 1: sat around and waited. And that's how Dallas won the game.
Speaker 1: I thought it was one of the dumbest, if not
Speaker 1: the dumbest play that I've seen by an NFL team.
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, Dallas was balling Dak Prescott. Hopefully he'll get
Speaker 1: his money in the whole bit because he deserved. So
Speaker 1: what can I say? Dallas won the game? I want
Speaker 1: to think those players for social distancing from that football
Speaker 1: at that key moment that was very important. What do
Speaker 1: you think about these head coaches getting fined for not
Speaker 1: having their masks on properly. I think that it's a
Speaker 1: it's a it's appropriate because the NFL has to be
Speaker 1: a particularly got to understand that if you come down
Speaker 1: with a few positive tests, it could ultimately stall a season.
Speaker 1: And so the mentality is that the players are one
Speaker 1: thing because they out there balling and they're getting tested
Speaker 1: and what happened, even though the coaches are going through
Speaker 1: the same thing. The bottom line is you want to
Speaker 1: send the right message that you know what were your masks,
Speaker 1: engage in social distancing to the best of your ability.
Speaker 1: And the NFL has got to do agree. You know,
Speaker 1: they've been doing a great job and doing just that,
Speaker 1: and they don't want to get facts with the rules
Speaker 1: because they don't want the season to be potentially compromised.
Speaker 1: And it's something that the coaches have to adopt. So
Speaker 1: I understand where they come from them right now, a
Speaker 1: Greek freak. Let's let's start with the Greek freak. NBA.
Speaker 1: Is he moving on? He staying with Milwaukee? Is he
Speaker 1: going to my son thinks that he's going to the
Speaker 1: Golden State. That's what my son, my son is betting
Speaker 1: on that. What are your thoughts on the Greek Freak.
Speaker 1: First of all, Golden State, I don't think they have
Speaker 1: the resources in order to give them. You can look
Speaker 1: at various other teams. I mean, he ain't going to
Speaker 1: Atlanta on New York and my estimation Miami could be
Speaker 1: a possibility. You never know what pat Riley could pull off.
Speaker 1: I personally would like to see him in a bigger market,
Speaker 1: but nevertheless, it really really comes down to whether or
Speaker 1: not the Milwaukee Bucks can give him that bona fide
Speaker 1: number two dudes. Middleton can ball. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 1: The problem is that he's not the guy that you
Speaker 1: could rely upon night and night out to do what
Speaker 1: he did. I think it was like in Games four
Speaker 1: against Boston when he dropped like twenty six and ten.
Speaker 1: Put it on my shoulders. We don't have the Greek Freak.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna handle my business here. He's not that guy
Speaker 1: on a night and night out basis. And if you're
Speaker 1: the Greek Freak, that's what you need. Because with all
Speaker 1: of his great numbers during the regular season, The bottom
Speaker 1: line is that he's compromised as a perimeter shooter to
Speaker 1: come playoff time defenses hustle back. They turn you into
Speaker 1: a highf court offense, and you got to be able
Speaker 1: to hit perimeter the shots. And if you can't do that,
Speaker 1: you're not going to win a championship. So you need
Speaker 1: somebody else to be able to do that. That's why
Speaker 1: he wasn't my MVP. That's why I had Lebron James
Speaker 1: as my m VP. I was one of the sixteen
Speaker 1: dudes evidently who voted for Lebron James to be m
Speaker 1: VP because he was bawling out all season long. They
Speaker 1: had the number one season the West. And more importantly,
Speaker 1: he's got a true approven track record. You know that
Speaker 1: his limitations are not going to show up come playoff time.
Speaker 1: Do you think we've reached a point where we've taken
Speaker 1: we started to take Lebron James great, And granted, I
Speaker 1: don't think so. I think that a lot of people
Speaker 1: that love him so much interpreted that way because he
Speaker 1: can be sensitive to that. And I don't blame him
Speaker 1: because I'm one of the guys that listen. I don't
Speaker 1: find myself to be ultra critical of him. I just
Speaker 1: say he ain't to go. It's Michael Jordan's all day,
Speaker 1: every day, because it matters to me in the road
Speaker 1: to prosperity that you took. And so when you were
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference and you had d Wade and
Speaker 1: Chris Bosh before years, I just look at it from
Speaker 1: that standpoint that I understand and respect the fact that
Speaker 1: Lebron James is great. He's going to Mount Rushmore. I
Speaker 1: think he's top two, top three all time. I'm just
Speaker 1: never giving him the edge over Michael Jordan's. And because
Speaker 1: that's the argument that is made against them, people perceive
Speaker 1: you as hating on him because you won't give him
Speaker 1: gold status. And last time I check, if I put
Speaker 1: you on the Mount Rushmore of any sport, let alone basketball,
Speaker 1: how the hell is that an insult. I'm calling you
Speaker 1: top two, top three at the work all time. That's
Speaker 1: not hating, that's just saying you ain't Michael Jordan. Now
Speaker 1: we got to also talk about those Clippers. Now. Now,
Speaker 1: when we talk about the Clippers, what should the Clippers do?
Speaker 1: It seemed like the Clippers just have bad luck. That's bad.
Speaker 1: Ju Jude is there's something wrong with the Clippers. Fat standpat,
Speaker 1: don't change the thing. They choked. It was definitely a
Speaker 1: choke job, Ain't no question about it. Kauwhi with the
Speaker 1: crown dangling from his mirror, come into the siege. You
Speaker 1: remember those commercials that he was doing for New Balance,
Speaker 1: the crown dangling from his merger, from his vehicle convertible.
Speaker 1: There's a new king that's arrived in La. All of
Speaker 1: this stuff. We were look into it or looking forward
Speaker 1: to this all year long. Well Lebron handled his business.
Speaker 1: You didn't. You didn't show up. You had a three
Speaker 1: one lead. Jamal Murray put on the show, The Joker
Speaker 1: put on the show. They won games, you know, five, six,
Speaker 1: and seven. They took you out. Jamara Murray drops forty
Speaker 1: two in game seven. You're supposed to be an elite
Speaker 1: defensive team. If you're struggling offensively, okay, fine, how the
Speaker 1: hell does that explain him giving it to you in
Speaker 1: a game seven? Him Paul George loved Paul George. That's
Speaker 1: my man right there. But it was a choke job
Speaker 1: by everybody involved. What I would say to you is this,
Speaker 1: I'm the billionaire Steve Ballmer. I got a team in
Speaker 1: La La, In La. Everybody wants to be in La.
Speaker 1: If you don't like the taxes in LA, but we
Speaker 1: love being in LA. That's a weather tax right there.
Speaker 1: Nobody trying to leave. I'm gonna sit up there, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stand Pad. I'm gonna say, all right, it was
Speaker 1: the bubble season got interrupted, Steimy the momentum. Some of
Speaker 1: y'all didn't even want to be here. You wasn't focused.
Speaker 1: Lou Williams two times six Man of the Year. We
Speaker 1: all know Lemon Pepper, Lou. We know what happened with Magic.
Speaker 1: Who did him? Going there? That was? It's smart, all right,
Speaker 1: But he's a good brother. And the people make mistakes.
Speaker 1: You move on from there. They got the talent. I
Speaker 1: make them stand Pat. I keep everybody in place, including
Speaker 1: the coaches, and I let them know, you love La.
Speaker 1: You want to leave because I promise you you don't
Speaker 1: win this year. I'm getting all of y'all up out
Speaker 1: of here. That's what I do. And I put them
Speaker 1: on notice, and I make every single person on that
Speaker 1: team come back to claim what should have been. There
Speaker 1: is in a lot of people's eyes this season. Do
Speaker 1: you think that if the Lakers win this year, but
Speaker 1: which I think they will. Is there an asterisk on
Speaker 1: the championship this season? Not to me? There's something to
Speaker 1: be said about exercising the proper level of discipline. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we understand that there was a pandemic and the stall
Speaker 1: of the season, but remember the season was never canceled,
Speaker 1: it was postponed. So it's incumbent upon you to stay ready,
Speaker 1: be prepared, do what you gotta do to come ready
Speaker 1: to ball. This is definitely a legitimate champion whoever comes
Speaker 1: out of this. All right, you got more with Stephen A.
Speaker 1: Smith when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Go more ej envy angela yee. Charlomagne, the gay we
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Stephen A. Smith. Charlomagne.
Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to ask you, because I didn't
Speaker 1: see this yesterday, how did y'all handle the situation with
Speaker 1: Lebron's son on camera smoking? Did y'all touch that at all?
Speaker 1: We didn't touch that. We didn't touch that at all.
Speaker 1: First of all, I really didn't even know about it.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna front I didn't know about it. But secondly,
Speaker 1: and more importantly, Chances are Charlomagne I wouldn't have said anything.
Speaker 1: You know, that's his kid, and I'm very sensitive to
Speaker 1: stuff like that. I'm one of those guys that I
Speaker 1: really have a problem. But how much people publicize him
Speaker 1: when he's out there playing ball and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: because his dad is still playing and so I don't
Speaker 1: like to invite that kind of scrutiny on the kid.
Speaker 1: Let the kid be a kid as much as we
Speaker 1: possibly can. If you see him balling out out there
Speaker 1: and you want to comment about his game a little
Speaker 1: bit of something, that's one thing. But I tried. You know,
Speaker 1: I do everything that I can to avoid talking about
Speaker 1: people's families and things of that nature, people's personal business
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. It is unfortunately you end up
Speaker 1: in a police plotters. Sometimes we have no choice. But
Speaker 1: outside of that, you know what, you just do what
Speaker 1: you can to make sure you remind everybody you human First,
Speaker 1: He's a kid, and obviously it wasn't the wisest thing
Speaker 1: to do if that happened. But you know, we've all
Speaker 1: been there, we've all made our mistakes, and you know
Speaker 1: his dad will handle that. That's not for me or
Speaker 1: anybody else. To get into as far as I'm concerned.
Speaker 1: I just had one last question too, about Maria Taylor
Speaker 1: from ESPN and the comments the reporter that actually got
Speaker 1: fired from his job for tweeting about her outfit. So
Speaker 1: how much more difficult do you find that it is
Speaker 1: for women who gets scrutinized who are actually covering sports.
Speaker 1: It's always been more difficult for women to be quite
Speaker 1: honest with you. I know, I will never be away
Speaker 1: from saying a thing, and there's not much harder in
Speaker 1: America than being a black man, but being a black
Speaker 1: woman obviously is incredibly incredibly difficult as well. Maria is
Speaker 1: class besonified. She's an incredible Allen. She's somebody that I
Speaker 1: know pretty well in this business. She's a star on
Speaker 1: the rise. Unfortunately, that reporter decided, that radio host decided
Speaker 1: to do what he did, and he lost his job
Speaker 1: because of it. Because you just find yourself scratching your
Speaker 1: head at the kind of things that are on people's mind,
Speaker 1: and more importantly, their willingness to go out there and
Speaker 1: just say it. I mean, it's bad enough for you're
Speaker 1: thinking that way, but how about shutting the hell up
Speaker 1: and not saying the damn word of just minding your business.
Speaker 1: But when it comes to women in this business, there's
Speaker 1: so many stars. I mean, Jamal Hill was a sensational
Speaker 1: talent for ESPN, and I miss her being at the network.
Speaker 1: Kerry Champion used to host First Take. She's a sensational talent.
Speaker 1: I miss her being at the network. The list goes
Speaker 1: on and on, but I would say this, just as
Speaker 1: black men have to watch every single thing that we
Speaker 1: do and be mindful and cognizant of the stereotypes and
Speaker 1: things of that nature that people are going to put
Speaker 1: out there about us, women have to do the same thing.
Speaker 1: That's not the same Maria Tylor did anything wrong, because
Speaker 1: she did not. But it's just pointing out that you
Speaker 1: got people out there that have agenders and their hell
Speaker 1: bent on stimming you at every single term. Be mindful
Speaker 1: of that because they're just giving you an indication of
Speaker 1: what other people in the positions of power might be thinking,
Speaker 1: but might be smart enough not to say. Now, this
Speaker 1: is HBCU week, and I'm noticing that a lot of
Speaker 1: players are going to HBCUs a lot of athletes are
Speaker 1: deciding not to go to your typical schools and going
Speaker 1: to HBCUs. What's your thoughts on that? I love it myself,
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts. I'm loving it as a as
Speaker 1: a graduate of what's the Salem State, which is an HBCU. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I'm loving that as well. And you know it's it's
Speaker 1: especially that cat that elected to go to Howard University.
Speaker 1: He's got tremendous potential. He can be a lot of
Speaker 1: you picking the NBA draft, you know. So I think
Speaker 1: that was a great thing as well. And you know,
Speaker 1: HBCU Week is something that we did last year. We
Speaker 1: had over twelve hundred people registered, gave out four million
Speaker 1: dollars in scholarships last year. This year, over five thousand
Speaker 1: people have already preregistered. And so I mean, when when
Speaker 1: you look at it from that perspective and think about
Speaker 1: the conduct of opportunities that are available. I tell people
Speaker 1: this all the time. Me going to an HBCU, I
Speaker 1: was surrounded by support. And you can't you can't put
Speaker 1: a price tag on that. You can't measure the significance
Speaker 1: of that. Just imagine. Like I said, y'all seem to
Speaker 1: have great, great relationships. That's why y'all show is so great.
Speaker 1: Imagine coming to work every day with somebody that you
Speaker 1: don't like, you don't get along with, you don't bob with,
Speaker 1: you have no chemistry with. It just makes that climb
Speaker 1: that much harder. Well, it's the same that applies to
Speaker 1: young kids, particularly when they're in pursuit of their education.
Speaker 1: If you go to a university and you don't have
Speaker 1: that support, based, that foundation, those people to be cheerleaders
Speaker 1: and mentors and to lift you up when you fall,
Speaker 1: the task or the road to prosperity can be significantly
Speaker 1: harder to claw your way through. And so for me
Speaker 1: going to an HPCU, that's what it did for me,
Speaker 1: and that's what I try to preach about it to everybody.
Speaker 1: That's the joy of going to HBCUs. People who look
Speaker 1: like you, people who share your cocial backup identity and
Speaker 1: all of that stuff, who know what you're going through,
Speaker 1: who understand it, who are there to lift you up,
Speaker 1: to motivate you, to push you. All of those different
Speaker 1: things are incredibly important. That add to me is the
Speaker 1: significance of an HBCU. Of course the education comes with it.
Speaker 1: You don't get all of that, but that to me
Speaker 1: is what the kids you mentioned, my core maker and
Speaker 1: I know you got to go in a few but
Speaker 1: you mentioned my cure maker. How can college athletes committing
Speaker 1: to HBCUs, you know, change things for HBCUs. Well, I
Speaker 1: think it's the attention. I think that the athletes themselves.
Speaker 1: We all know that sports assist in bringing that level
Speaker 1: of attention to an institution university. When you think about it,
Speaker 1: if you think about North Carolina, what you think about
Speaker 1: thinking about basketball, think about Alabama, you thinking about football.
Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of institutions that offer similar curriculums.
Speaker 1: But what really illuminates a university in the mind's eye
Speaker 1: is how they resonate in the schools world. And so
Speaker 1: because of that, just imagine Cats electing to go to AHCU.
Speaker 1: When you do that, particularly if you have any kind
Speaker 1: of profile, it forces attention to gravitate towards you, and
Speaker 1: they can't gravitate towards you without mentioning the school that
Speaker 1: you're attending. So I just look at it from that perspective,
Speaker 1: and I think it's all about the attention to profile.
Speaker 1: That's where athletes going to those institutions can really really help.
Speaker 1: Just raising the profile of HBCUs to highlight that you
Speaker 1: can indeed get an education from there. You can indeed
Speaker 1: go up against IVY leagues and smoke them. This is
Speaker 1: what I do every day. Max Kellman graduated from Columbia.
Speaker 1: I graduated from winniver I was gonna make sure, how
Speaker 1: do we make sure these HBCUs get the proper coverage
Speaker 1: because that's the one thing kids are worried about. They
Speaker 1: want to make sure they get the coverage of some
Speaker 1: of these other schools, whether it's on TV, so they
Speaker 1: can get the rink in and they can get in
Speaker 1: the leagues and they can get those opportunities. I think
Speaker 1: that's the only fair a lot of these students have.
Speaker 1: We're going to HBCU. Well, it's a legitimate fair, and
Speaker 1: that's something that I've spoken about in the past. But
Speaker 1: how you all set that as about making sure that
Speaker 1: you go there, you ball, you perform, because when you perform,
Speaker 1: the attention will gravitate to you, and then you gotta
Speaker 1: hope that that student is mindful enough to turn around
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, let me make sure that I mentioned
Speaker 1: the importance of being here. It's HBC using I highlight
Speaker 1: what it's done for my life. My fugere et cetera,
Speaker 1: et cetera. And that's how it goes about because you're
Speaker 1: operating behind the eight ball from the standpoint that those
Speaker 1: other institutions d once colleges the big time to eve
Speaker 1: in college they have the television contracts. That's really where
Speaker 1: it stands out, even for college football right now. Just
Speaker 1: think about this for a second. Most of college football
Speaker 1: said we're not going to take the risk, we're not
Speaker 1: going to have a season this year due to the
Speaker 1: coronavirus pandemic. But then ain't stopping the SEC, the ACC,
Speaker 1: the Big twelve, the Pac twelve, the big Then ain't
Speaker 1: stopping them now? Why because there's so much money to
Speaker 1: be made, particularly from the television networks that they can't
Speaker 1: they can't help but continue to go forward and play
Speaker 1: because to them, it's worth the risk. When you are
Speaker 1: at an HBCU, obviously the television networks and what have
Speaker 1: you hope they will gravitate towards you, but it's going
Speaker 1: to be up and coming upon you to perform and
Speaker 1: to make sure you do what you can to bring
Speaker 1: attention to the HBC. I'm on TV every day and
Speaker 1: what do I do? I bring attention to wins to
Speaker 1: Salem State and HBCUs every chance I get, because I
Speaker 1: understand the importance of articulating that message. All right, well
Speaker 1: don't move. We got more with Stephen A. Smith. It
Speaker 1: is the Breakfast Club gomoning. I think everybody is DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club was still kicking it with Stephen A. Smith, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: Steven A couple more questions where you get out of here.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Max Kellerman and how you smoke him every day.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I get the feeling that you really don't like
Speaker 1: Max Kellerman, like you really disgusted by so many things
Speaker 1: that come out of his mouth. Is that true? Well,
Speaker 1: let me say this. I do it's false. I actually
Speaker 1: do like him a lot. He is a really, really
Speaker 1: good guy. But you are right when you say sometimes
Speaker 1: I do get February very disgusted with this kind of
Speaker 1: stuff that comes out of his mouth, you know, And
Speaker 1: I'm not apologizing for that. That's my man, He's my partner,
Speaker 1: our first take. He does a hell of a job.
Speaker 1: He's incredibly intelligent. All of that stuff is true, and
Speaker 1: we all noticed we should disagree with somebody, you know,
Speaker 1: and still don't hate him. We just disagree with them.
Speaker 1: But there are times that he speaks and you know,
Speaker 1: it's like he's trying. And I've told him this before,
Speaker 1: you trying to act like your brother. I don't give
Speaker 1: a damn who you are. You ain't that you understand,
Speaker 1: you don't have, you don't really know. And so there
Speaker 1: have been times where I have felt the need to
Speaker 1: check him on that matter. But that's all. It's like
Speaker 1: his heart is in the right place. But he's the
Speaker 1: kind of person that he reads a lot, highly intelligent,
Speaker 1: and he thinks that reading and that knowledge gives him
Speaker 1: a level of expertise that myself, you, or DJ and
Speaker 1: V or anybody else might have. And I'm like, nah,
Speaker 1: that's not true. There's certain things about our experience you
Speaker 1: can't get in the book. And I'm not saying he
Speaker 1: says that literally or feels that way literally, but with
Speaker 1: some of the comments he comes across that way. And
Speaker 1: if I get annoyed, I will check him. But then
Speaker 1: I will I will, I will go and I will
Speaker 1: talk to him after if necessary, and I'll always let
Speaker 1: them know. You know, we teammates. I got you. But again,
Speaker 1: just like you would disagree with me if I said
Speaker 1: something you know about that's relevant to the Jewish community,
Speaker 1: if I think you said something out of pocket that's
Speaker 1: pertaining to the black community, I'm gonna let you know.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of times Charlemagne he looks
Speaker 1: at things from the very altruistic perspective. He looks at
Speaker 1: things about the way, and he admitted this, he looks
Speaker 1: at things the way they should be. I look at
Speaker 1: things the way they are. Or I'm mindful of saying
Speaker 1: stuff and promoting and pushing stuff that I think are
Speaker 1: gonna lead black people down a dead end path or
Speaker 1: something even worse. I might know that we're absolutely right,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, wait a minute, it's because you got
Speaker 1: to think about the forest from the trees. If Charlemagne
Speaker 1: is going down, I'm cool with Charlemagne. Well guess what.
Speaker 1: I got a lot of respect for this brother. If
Speaker 1: I see you doing something and I think that that's
Speaker 1: gonna hurt you, even if I know you're right, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say, yo, bro, Marathon Sprint, make a decision. You're
Speaker 1: doing this that's not That might not be the way
Speaker 1: you want to go because you might get that off
Speaker 1: your chest, but it might cost you here. He's the
Speaker 1: type of person that says, damn all of that, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's easy for you to say because you
Speaker 1: ain't black, so you don't know. But I do know,
Speaker 1: so fall back. And there have been times and I
Speaker 1: and our time with one another, that I've had to
Speaker 1: say that to him. But it's always knowing that as
Speaker 1: hard as in the right place, that he's a really
Speaker 1: good brother, um, and I'm I'm happy to be working
Speaker 1: with him. He used to be a rapper back in
Speaker 1: the day. Yeah, I heard about that. You know, you know,
Speaker 1: you always got some with them, and I want to
Speaker 1: be you know, you know you get all that, but
Speaker 1: you damn sure a rap better than me. I never
Speaker 1: tried to, So I ain't like now now now as
Speaker 1: your oldg partner coming back to First Take, is Skip
Speaker 1: Bail is coming back to First Take. That's what we're
Speaker 1: hearing out him. No, he's not like you can say
Speaker 1: that without a shadow of a doubt. Max is under
Speaker 1: contract for the next two and a half years at
Speaker 1: a minimum. I think Skip, if I remember correctly, I
Speaker 1: thought this contract was up. He's about to stand a
Speaker 1: new deal. That doesn't mean that we can't reunite in
Speaker 1: some capacity somewhere down the line, because there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things that I got planned for myself, and that's
Speaker 1: still my brother from another mother. I got a lot
Speaker 1: of love him. Remember he's the one that brought me
Speaker 1: the First Take, and so you know, I'm very mindful
Speaker 1: of that, and we're still very close, even though I
Speaker 1: always disagree with him. But in the end, the bottom
Speaker 1: line is that he got his thing going on. I
Speaker 1: got my thing going on. In terms of him coming
Speaker 1: back to First Take, I can't see that happening in
Speaker 1: the near future, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility
Speaker 1: that he and I will reunite in some capacity down
Speaker 1: the line. I just don't think it'll be First Take.
Speaker 1: Right now, Max and I are Roland. We're still number one,
Speaker 1: and I've been number one in the mornings for the
Speaker 1: last six and a half seven years, So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: roll with that. There's no reason to look at look
Speaker 1: in any other direction. But again, I'm not limiting my
Speaker 1: opportunities to just First Take. But in terms of your
Speaker 1: question about First Take, directly, it would be being Max.
Speaker 1: But don't rule out skipping our reuniting in some capacity
Speaker 1: in the future who knows all right, Well, we appreciate
Speaker 1: you joining us, brother, Thank you so much. Can y'all
Speaker 1: make sure to send everybody to hbcuweek dot org. Could
Speaker 1: y'all do that for me? Please show just hbcuweek dot org.
Speaker 1: We already got over five thousand people registered. We raised
Speaker 1: over four million dollars last year and two hours. We're
Speaker 1: gonna plan on doing some big things this week as well. Man,
Speaker 1: I appreciate y'all so much. Keep up the great work
Speaker 1: all rank you. Thank you so much. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning. This is the Rule Report with angelin you listen. No, yes,
Speaker 1: So Quavo is not feeling academics right now, and I
Speaker 1: can't blame them. Academics are talking crazy about Sweetie and
Speaker 1: you know that's Quevo's girlfriend. And here's what academics had
Speaker 1: to say. Let me tell you why why Sweetie is trash?
Speaker 1: To me, Sweetie, it's only a cute face. That number
Speaker 1: one doesn't right, But a lot of women do it, don't.
Speaker 1: It's fine. But she's remaking old songs. She basically taking
Speaker 1: an old song that was already a hit and making
Speaker 1: a girl version and putting it out do we call
Speaker 1: that talking crazy though. I mean, if your woman is
Speaker 1: an artist and she's getting critiqued on her music, you
Speaker 1: may not like it, but it's nothing to want to
Speaker 1: fight a person over. I don't think I was talking crazy.
Speaker 1: He's critiquing music, and if he was talking about her
Speaker 1: appearance or something something other than music, I get it.
Speaker 1: But just he did also talk about her appearance, though,
Speaker 1: I mean not in a negative way. She was just
Speaker 1: a pretty face and she couldn't right something like that.
Speaker 1: That's just such a way to demean a woman too,
Speaker 1: as an artist. And then he said most female artist.
Speaker 1: You know. I think that was all just I didn't
Speaker 1: like that as a woman. I mean it was about
Speaker 1: it was about the music though, from what I heard
Speaker 1: just now. Anyway, But can you blame Quabo for being mad? No,
Speaker 1: I can't blame Yeah, I don't. I mean, I can
Speaker 1: understand him being upset, but he's been in the industry
Speaker 1: long enough to know that people are going to critique
Speaker 1: your music. And I mean, even if it's your woman,
Speaker 1: they're going to critique your your woman's music too. I
Speaker 1: can understand and being upset, but nothing to like. Well,
Speaker 1: I think he should have been I think you should
Speaker 1: anticipate that. He didn't say he was gonna beat him up.
Speaker 1: Here's what he said, pull up and chop it up
Speaker 1: like a man. I promise, I ain't gonna hit you.
Speaker 1: Just want to play you these new Megos records since
Speaker 1: you think is sweet, and stop bashing my girl. She's
Speaker 1: a female. But if I tell her going your iss,
Speaker 1: she would so what the trash word? Internet girl? He
Speaker 1: did put the fist emoji too, though. Ain't gonna hit you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's classic. Hey, come outside, I just want to talk, bro,
Speaker 1: I want to talk. I just want to talk. Come out, sorry,
Speaker 1: real quickly. I want to talk to you. Man. All right. Well,
Speaker 1: academics also had something to say about the Megos. Megos
Speaker 1: absolutely on the clock. It was the hottest group on Earth,
Speaker 1: after Bat and Boogee, after really successful one of really
Speaker 1: great singles. Then at that point they started licensing and
Speaker 1: selling the cool to everybody else. We saw them with
Speaker 1: football players there, We saw them doing this and by
Speaker 1: the way, great business moves. But with the Megos they
Speaker 1: were a street rap group. We were using these balls
Speaker 1: in the band o. This that third all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: all of us that they're only in the Hollywood Hills,
Speaker 1: Beverly Hills. They looked like they've lost the street presence
Speaker 1: and street essence. I don't agree with that either, Like
Speaker 1: I don't think the Megos and fell off. We live
Speaker 1: in an era where if you not read hot, if
Speaker 1: you're not all over the radio, you know you're not
Speaker 1: dropping music every week, people just think you fell off,
Speaker 1: Like you can't just take a break. The Megos have
Speaker 1: been out here for a long time. How long may
Speaker 1: they do have a new They do have a record
Speaker 1: performed they did performing at the iHeart Radio Music Festival.
Speaker 1: It's called Burken. Listen to this. She wanted I tell
Speaker 1: the fool one hundred thousand forward bag hunted. That's a
Speaker 1: whole lot of cash. I bought a watching made of
Speaker 1: glass and caught the cooper working drash about the bag
Speaker 1: and made them bad. They're saying someone fell off is
Speaker 1: very very, very very harsh. They're just not the red
Speaker 1: hot act of the moment. But to say they fell off, like, nah,
Speaker 1: come on, man, he's been around for a long time.
Speaker 1: Academics also tweeted out by the way, I love Quevo
Speaker 1: take off an offset I critique for them to elevate
Speaker 1: certainly not hate being a fan of them for a
Speaker 1: long time, being a fan that was sometimes challenging the
Speaker 1: artists you love. That's that's very true too, Like I mean,
Speaker 1: we can all we're entitled to have an opinion on
Speaker 1: the music, good or bad. Once you release it to
Speaker 1: the public, it's up to us to decide whether we
Speaker 1: like it ran and those discussions are gonna happen. And
Speaker 1: then can't you just say I didn't like the new
Speaker 1: single they just put out instead of the same day
Speaker 1: like you said, fell off. You gotta get people time.
Speaker 1: I critiques, You could critique. You could say whatever you
Speaker 1: want to say about a person's project, a person's album,
Speaker 1: or persons anything, and then artists can reply how they
Speaker 1: want to apply, like right, academics when it comes to
Speaker 1: you know, absolutely limited or anything. He either is charlemagneither's
Speaker 1: me either, as you it's how we feel about a record,
Speaker 1: and your regular people. It's people on social media like
Speaker 1: they are worse more than anybody. And by the way,
Speaker 1: your critique can be critiqued too, just like academics. Critique
Speaker 1: is being critiqued right right now by us. All right now,
Speaker 1: let's talk about DJ Boof. He did an Instagram live session.
Speaker 1: You know, he was Wendy Williams DJ. Just recently as
Speaker 1: us one has took over that spot. We're not sure
Speaker 1: what happened with DJ Booth and Wendy Williams, but he
Speaker 1: went on live to let us know that there was
Speaker 1: some type of dirty laundry situation going on. Here's what
Speaker 1: he said about to be crazy. Yoh God, don't like
Speaker 1: ugly and this little DJ is a powerful I ain't
Speaker 1: know I was this powerful because I ain't know I
Speaker 1: had this bunch of weight. Bro. I feel thankful. I'm blessed.
Speaker 1: You know, you never know who really did you? Yo?
Speaker 1: And when I say it's about to be crazy, it's
Speaker 1: about to be crazy. I don't got the juice. I
Speaker 1: don't got the tea, I got the coffee. Who was
Speaker 1: Booth talking about in that video? Is he talking? And
Speaker 1: by the way, I want that would be a great
Speaker 1: time for me. Sure it's not Wendy. I'm sure that
Speaker 1: I do have a coffee company called Coffee uplifts people.
Speaker 1: Since people want to spill the coffee, you know, make
Speaker 1: sure you check us out. But yes, continue you should sponsor.
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering who this one is. He talking about
Speaker 1: in that video, you should talk, you should sponsor DJ Booth.
Speaker 1: That'd be a great sponsor right now. You because I've
Speaker 1: never heard some coffee coffee. Yeah, she's definitely just spilling
Speaker 1: the coffee, all right, we're in Is that because coffee
Speaker 1: is stronger than tea? Maybe it can be mmmmm. I
Speaker 1: just want to know who moves talking about in that video?
Speaker 1: Who thought about this one? Are Wendy, I'm sure Wendy,
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah. I don't know if he does he
Speaker 1: know some tea on well, we don't know, we don't,
Speaker 1: we don't know. I'm sure he does. Well. All I
Speaker 1: know is if I was that bar Mercury or you know,
Speaker 1: lions Gate or whoever is behind that situation, I would
Speaker 1: make sure Boof has been paid accordingly and I would
Speaker 1: have maked. I don't make sure. I would have make
Speaker 1: sure Boof Boof Boof Sufferance was was was intact. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm sure. I'm sure he knows what the bodies are.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he knows what the bodies are. And you
Speaker 1: don't want to do you think he was what y'all
Speaker 1: think he was wrong for exposing that though? If he
Speaker 1: was done dirty. We don't know what body, Yeah, we
Speaker 1: don't know what happened in that situation. But if he's done,
Speaker 1: you know, nobody's wrong to be telling that story and
Speaker 1: don't And back in New York then they say Boofing
Speaker 1: was sticking something up. Ye, yes, Boofing was sticking something up.
Speaker 1: Your boy. Don't want Booth? Okay, So you don't want
Speaker 1: Booth to pull something out of all right? You want
Speaker 1: him to keep all those skeletons in his Boofing, all right,
Speaker 1: don't let Booth pull out all right? Well, you know
Speaker 1: Booth is gonna be okay regardless, so are we's gonna
Speaker 1: be fun? You see how this lays out the corporate
Speaker 1: America just can't do people dirty when you do people dirty? Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you just don't want him to pull up, all right, y'all.
Speaker 1: I hope y'all been doing right by DJ Booth, debt
Speaker 1: by American and lions Gate, and I really do all right.
Speaker 1: We don't forget ask he's coming up next hour eight
Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one five one. If you need
Speaker 1: relationship advice to any type of advice, you could get
Speaker 1: on the phone lines right now. But donkey today who
Speaker 1: are giving that donkey to Charlemagne. I need this the
Speaker 1: seat chief executive of Wells Fargo, Charles Sharft, to come
Speaker 1: to the front of the congregation. There the lesson to
Speaker 1: be learned here today is a teachable moment corporate America.
Speaker 1: Listen up, all right, we'll get into that next. It's
Speaker 1: the breakfast Club. Good morning. Don't at the gate you
Speaker 1: get drunk, you are, I'm gonna fatt and all that
Speaker 1: around your man to Dolten Blowers. Man. They're waited with
Speaker 1: Charlomaye to top these gloves to make a judgment. Who
Speaker 1: was going to be on the Donkey of the day.
Speaker 1: They chose you because the breakfast club, bitch you, Who's
Speaker 1: donkey of the day today? Donkey of today from Wednesday,
Speaker 1: September twenty third goes to Wells Fargo and Co. Chief
Speaker 1: executive Charles Sharf. Now Charles Sharf pissed off some black
Speaker 1: employees this summer. You know what, I don't know if
Speaker 1: pissed off the employees is the correct term. It's more
Speaker 1: like black employees are exhausted, all right. That's what whiteness
Speaker 1: can be. Exhausting. We get fatigued during these fights. It's
Speaker 1: been a long, long fight, and one thing about the
Speaker 1: fight against systemic racism, It's gonna always come down to stamina,
Speaker 1: and we is tired. Okay, Well, Charles Sharf exhausted black
Speaker 1: folks yet again this summer on his Zoom meeting. Oh lord, now,
Speaker 1: I know my brothers and sisters wexhausting all by itself.
Speaker 1: But Charles, he made all of us sleepy when he
Speaker 1: was discussing Wells Fargo not being able to reach its
Speaker 1: diversity goals because there was not enough qualified minority talent.
Speaker 1: I re pete. Okay, Charles Sharf, Wells Fargo chief executive said,
Speaker 1: Wells Fargo is not able to reach its diversity goals
Speaker 1: because there's not enough qualified minority talent. Case ura, Sara. Now,
Speaker 1: imagine a company wide memo goes out announcing diversity initiatives
Speaker 1: as nationwide protests are breaking out over George Floyd and
Speaker 1: your company. In this case, Wells Fargo says, and I quote, well,
Speaker 1: it might sound like an excuse, unfortunate reality is that
Speaker 1: there is a very limited pool of black talent to
Speaker 1: recruit from. Basically, we would love to put some of
Speaker 1: you negroes in leadership positions, but y'all simply don't exist.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine an NBA executive saying that, of course
Speaker 1: she can't because it doesn't happen. Even when the talent
Speaker 1: pool is so called low in the draft, they will
Speaker 1: draft someone, all right, they will draft a lot of people.
Speaker 1: You know, somebody gets to opportunity. Hell, Charles, all those
Speaker 1: mediocre Mannaids flavored mammals, y'all putting leadership positions on a
Speaker 1: regular basis, y'all will scrape the bottom of the hellman's
Speaker 1: jar when it's empty to be able to spread death
Speaker 1: thick cold sauce all over a company. But when it
Speaker 1: comes to black folks, we simply don't exist. Story of
Speaker 1: our lives now, Charles. Let me use myself as an example.
Speaker 1: In twenty sixteen, I tweeted out, would be dope if
Speaker 1: a young black or Hispanic woke woman. I even put
Speaker 1: woke in quotation use social media to create a platform
Speaker 1: to be a voice like Tommy Lauren did. Yes, I
Speaker 1: posted that totally tone deaf tweet for one reason, all
Speaker 1: those women already existed. Not only did they already exist,
Speaker 1: I was already working and had worked with several of them, Charles,
Speaker 1: All that qualified minority talent that you are saying doesn't exist.
Speaker 1: Trust me, it does. That limited pool of black talent
Speaker 1: that you are saying is dry is full. You just
Speaker 1: don't have the creative eye to see it, because all
Speaker 1: you do is see America through a white lens. This
Speaker 1: is what happens when you have white privileged pulposts. Okay,
Speaker 1: for all those folks who want to make the white
Speaker 1: in their eyes wider, this is how you do it.
Speaker 1: Be a white person in a leadership position at a
Speaker 1: company and be asked to find black talent. I agree
Speaker 1: with AOC who tweeted out yesterday, perhaps it's the CEO
Speaker 1: of Wells Fargo who lacks the talent to recruit black workers.
Speaker 1: I also agree with Ken Bacon, a former mortgage industry
Speaker 1: executive who was on the boards of Comcast, Ally Financial,
Speaker 1: and well Tower, Inc. He just quoted in this NBC
Speaker 1: News article saying there is an amazing amount of black
Speaker 1: talent out there. If people say they can't find the talent,
Speaker 1: they either aren't looking hard enough or don't want to
Speaker 1: find it. I'll take don't want to find it for
Speaker 1: five hundred Alex. The only people who should be in
Speaker 1: a bubble right now is the four remaining NBA teams
Speaker 1: and the staff that makes the NBA move all right,
Speaker 1: That same bubble, okay, is the same insula bubble most
Speaker 1: white people living in all their life see. Okay. When
Speaker 1: I was young, my mother encouraged me. In fact, damn,
Speaker 1: they had demanded that I read things that didn't pertain
Speaker 1: to me. Therefore, even on a dirt road in Monsquin
Speaker 1: to South Carolina, I knew other people's coaches and places existed.
Speaker 1: When she told me to read things that didn't pertain
Speaker 1: to me, I immediately started reading Judy Bloom and Beverly Clearly.
Speaker 1: Ramona Quinbey and her family introduced me to the white
Speaker 1: middle class. Okay, Margaret from all you there, God is me.
Speaker 1: Margaret made me realize white people believe in God and
Speaker 1: actually called on God for help. I didn't know. I
Speaker 1: was a kid. I thought white people called other white
Speaker 1: people for help, not God. The moral of the story is,
Speaker 1: when you're black, you're forceded. You're forced to know what's
Speaker 1: going on with other races, especially the white race, if
Speaker 1: not for anything else. Survival. Charles Sharf, chief executive at
Speaker 1: Wells Fargo. Like most white people in positions of power,
Speaker 1: will never have to know any black people in order
Speaker 1: to simply survive. Here's the thing about guys like Charles,
Speaker 1: and this is a lesson for all the corporate America.
Speaker 1: If you want your company to be a company and
Speaker 1: not a plantation, then hire folks who have the eyes
Speaker 1: and ears to see and hear diverse candidates, and go
Speaker 1: out of their way to find these diverse candidates. Are
Speaker 1: give the black, the brown, the women in your company
Speaker 1: the experience to qualify for seeing your roles. And all
Speaker 1: you negros who get in seeing your roles at these
Speaker 1: companies who are already in seeing your roles at these companies,
Speaker 1: the ones who have hiring power. Don't get in these
Speaker 1: positions and adopt the energy of your oppressors. Don't be
Speaker 1: just happy to be there. When you find yourself in
Speaker 1: that position, it is imperative. It is required of you,
Speaker 1: under the laws of God and blackness, to lift other
Speaker 1: black people up with you. That's how you keep the
Speaker 1: Charles Sharks of the world dancing for you instead of
Speaker 1: us dancing for them. Now, there's a Wells Fargo employee
Speaker 1: who wants to remain anonymous, who told NBC News there
Speaker 1: simply is no lack of talent. I can get them
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen resumes to day well. Breakfast Club reaches
Speaker 1: a lot of people, tens of millions between the podcast
Speaker 1: and the radio show. I know that it's quite a
Speaker 1: few people that can hear my voice right now. So
Speaker 1: let's have a petty party, but a petty party with
Speaker 1: a purpose. And it's not even really being petty. It's
Speaker 1: a professional petty party. For all you qualified brothers and
Speaker 1: sisters out there with resumes. Send them to this email.
Speaker 1: Get a pen, pull out your phones. I'll give you
Speaker 1: some time. I'll wait wait for you to get it together. Okay,
Speaker 1: got it ready? Good? Send your resume to Charles dot Sharf.
Speaker 1: Sharf is spelled sc h a r F. Charles dot
Speaker 1: Sharf sc h a r f at Wells Fargo dot com.
Speaker 1: Charles dot Sharf at Wells Fargo dot com. Tell them
Speaker 1: you were referred by me, Uncle Charlott, Charlemagne, to God,
Speaker 1: Lenard mckelby, whatever you want to call me. Tell them
Speaker 1: you were referred by me, and in the subject put
Speaker 1: qualified black in all capital letters. See Charles needs to
Speaker 1: know we exist. Because once he knows we exist, and
Speaker 1: he's flooded with tens of thousands of resumes. You will
Speaker 1: have no corporate excuses to cover his potential racism in
Speaker 1: the future. Oh, the Mayonnaid's was heavy with this one.
Speaker 1: Please let Kathy Griffin handle my white work, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean light work. Please give this giant Jaromle the

Speaker 1: Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: It's time for asking yee. Hello, who's this? What's up?
Speaker 1: This fresh part from Baltimore? What's up? Man? What's your
Speaker 1: question for? Yeasy? Yeah? I want a see like how
Speaker 1: can I get my girl to to understand? I want
Speaker 1: to move into a new spot like we literally together,
Speaker 1: but I want to get a new spot for man
Speaker 1: my son. But she feels like we should just they
Speaker 1: are not her kids, by the way, but she feel
Speaker 1: like we should stay under one roof and I don't
Speaker 1: know what I should do it. Wait, you want to
Speaker 1: move away from her even though y'all live together? It
Speaker 1: sounds crazy. Females, y'all make things sound crazy. Don't do
Speaker 1: it like I'm trying to clarify it because it does
Speaker 1: sounds so listen to listen. I just want to move
Speaker 1: into a spot that raised my sons under one roof
Speaker 1: instead of like we can commute. You understand. It's not
Speaker 1: like I want to move away for I love her
Speaker 1: to death. My name is Tamika, Um, she's she's my heart.
Speaker 1: But I just want to spot for me and my son,
Speaker 1: like I don't I don't think it's wrong, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? I'm confused. Why can't they why can't
Speaker 1: she be with you? There? If you guys are together,
Speaker 1: all right. So look when you're a young man and
Speaker 1: you got two kids, they thirteen and eleven, Like, I
Speaker 1: feel like we gotta do betterfi our children. So me
Speaker 1: stepping out is something to show leadership in our community.
Speaker 1: So having multiple people around sometimes because you know, like
Speaker 1: clarse religion or like me, I'm into vegan food now,
Speaker 1: So these things could be confusing if you're trying to
Speaker 1: teach your upbringing, you know what I'm saying. So I
Speaker 1: feel like one roof, you know, one to hear the household.
Speaker 1: They can understand. You know where I'm coming from with this,
Speaker 1: And like I said, I love her. I just want
Speaker 1: to teach them under one roof instead of you know,
Speaker 1: the kids come at you. I just all right, as
Speaker 1: a couple of questions here, So are you going to
Speaker 1: be the primary caregiver for your kids? Like is it
Speaker 1: a joint custody situation with the mom? What's going on
Speaker 1: with joint custody with man the mom? But but like
Speaker 1: I said, as far as raising them and teaching them
Speaker 1: different you know, you know, values in life, I feel
Speaker 1: like the man should be there, you know, mostly and
Speaker 1: they should see how it should be. Like if they
Speaker 1: have kids in the future, they should be, you know,
Speaker 1: dedicated to keeping the kids under one roof and you know,
Speaker 1: being that that role model they need because there's a
Speaker 1: lot of fake role models out here. Kids can be
Speaker 1: looking up to anybody and they don't have no values
Speaker 1: a moral so I feel like, you know, it's easy
Speaker 1: for them to be swayed, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff. Married to your girlfriend or together
Speaker 1: for the long term? Does she know your children? I want,
Speaker 1: I want, I want Maha, Yeah I do. I love
Speaker 1: her a death for real. But I still feel like
Speaker 1: I should be able to do this with my kids.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like it should be a I don't
Speaker 1: understand why these things that are mutually exclusive though. Why
Speaker 1: can't you be with your women who you want to
Speaker 1: marry and also raise your kids at the same time
Speaker 1: under in a bigger house with your girls. Jealousy it's
Speaker 1: like jealousy between women. My sons, they the young black men,
Speaker 1: so they gonna say stuff and then she comes to
Speaker 1: me like why do you say that? And you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it's always so you're a child,
Speaker 1: your children's mother and your girlfriend don't get along. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure if they don't get along, but I know
Speaker 1: they don't like each other. They don't talk at all,
Speaker 1: but I know they don't. You know what your sons
Speaker 1: need to see. They need to see a functional relationship
Speaker 1: in a blended family situation. They need to see that
Speaker 1: if this is a woman you want to be with
Speaker 1: and you want to marry, they need to see her
Speaker 1: being able to communicate with their mother, because of course,
Speaker 1: any mom would not want their kids around a woman
Speaker 1: who she doesn't know or like, right, and you need
Speaker 1: to work on that relationship if this is somebody you
Speaker 1: see yourself with, because I'm not gonna lie if I
Speaker 1: was in her situation. We live together now, you want
Speaker 1: to move out because you say you want to be
Speaker 1: able to when your kids come to see you and
Speaker 1: stay with you, being a roof for just you under
Speaker 1: there with them. I would feel like that means you
Speaker 1: don't see a future with us. Yeah, she said that,
Speaker 1: and it's almost making me feel like I'm being shopped
Speaker 1: between the two, like I shouldn't be able to you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I understand. I'm not being you know, dismissive.
Speaker 1: I'm very aware of the situation, and you know it's
Speaker 1: just something we gotta work through. But yeah, and maybe
Speaker 1: it does feel like something you guys have to work
Speaker 1: through because you know, I just think you got to
Speaker 1: work on that relationship between the mom and your girlfriend,
Speaker 1: and if this is somebody you really want to be with,
Speaker 1: that should be the first thing that you do, right,
Speaker 1: so that she's comfortable with her kids being around this
Speaker 1: woman and so that she feels secure. Are also because
Speaker 1: I think to set an example for your kids. Look,
Speaker 1: their relationship didn't work out with their mom, and you're
Speaker 1: in love with somebody else and this is the other
Speaker 1: person you want to be with. They need to see
Speaker 1: those functioning relationships. I think that's a great example. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's just kind of excuison
Speaker 1: because I still love her too, like we're all great friends,
Speaker 1: but it's just kind of yeah, it's just kind of
Speaker 1: confusing for real. But so you kind of want to
Speaker 1: be with the mom with them No, not how okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just asking. I just love it. Respect I wouldn't
Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong. But she's a beautiful woman. They
Speaker 1: both beautiful woman. But I want to move on with
Speaker 1: the one I'm with now. She's more like together, if
Speaker 1: that makes sense. But part of that moving on is
Speaker 1: making sure that you guys can all actually get along
Speaker 1: and know each other and be adult about it and
Speaker 1: set that example. So I can see where she's coming
Speaker 1: from it. I think you should look at it from
Speaker 1: her point of view as well. I don't think you
Speaker 1: should have to make a choice between the two. Why
Speaker 1: can't they coexist? I agree, Angela, I agree, I agree,
Speaker 1: Hey King, I just want to tell you too, man Um.
Speaker 1: I can hear the Baltimore on your breath, so I
Speaker 1: just want you to know that I'm praying. I'm praying
Speaker 1: for ye j Instagram fresh po Oh, my goodness. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to dn ask ye eight hundred
Speaker 1: five A five one on five one. If you need advice,
Speaker 1: any type of advice, here and now it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, keep get some real advice with Angela Ye
Speaker 1: gets ask ye morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Were in the
Speaker 1: middle of ask yee, Hello, who's this? How are you doing? Un?
Speaker 1: Good morning? Good morning man? What's your question for you?
Speaker 1: Hey morning? Um? Like it's a relationship question like, um
Speaker 1: of late, me and my girl, we've been getting into it.
Speaker 1: Um So I noticed like when it comes to her
Speaker 1: admitting like when she does like crazy stuff, she has
Speaker 1: a hard time admitting it, like literally, we're gonna get
Speaker 1: we're seeking counselors now. But like, what is a good
Speaker 1: way to just like, you know, break the ice when
Speaker 1: it comes to yoh, man, you did something, you did
Speaker 1: something crazy? Ya? I mean I understand you. Just give
Speaker 1: me an example. All right? So she cut my right.
Speaker 1: I'm driving her to work, venting to her. She didn't
Speaker 1: like it, made like literally in front of her job,
Speaker 1: mid moving, I'm turning the car. She cuts my car
Speaker 1: off those and in part like opens the door, jumps
Speaker 1: out of the moping car like justiffy by saying hey,
Speaker 1: I told you I wanted to get out of your car.
Speaker 1: Comes like, Yo, that's what's your response. Let's let's have
Speaker 1: my conversation now. So she says, all right, I told
Speaker 1: you I'm trying to get out the car. You didn't
Speaker 1: out the car, so I turned it off and jumped out.
Speaker 1: I mean, what you expect? What's my response? I'm gonna
Speaker 1: call the cops, man, because you're not understanding what I
Speaker 1: don't know. Like I try to tell her, like what
Speaker 1: she was doing was dangerous. The other driver, you know,
Speaker 1: we could have crashed. Man, And she's just like, I
Speaker 1: don't care you telling you gonna call the cops? Yeah,
Speaker 1: how would you feel that she she was gonna call
Speaker 1: the cops? You should have. She had to jump out
Speaker 1: of a car, moving car. That's this. This sounds like
Speaker 1: a b I mean, I didn't agree with that, but
Speaker 1: I mean I just thought it was you can't respond
Speaker 1: too crazy, but with crazy also though, I mean, here's
Speaker 1: what my thoughts are. Right, when it comes to calling
Speaker 1: somebody out on something they've done that is wrong, instead
Speaker 1: of telling them you're wrong, you did this, you did that,
Speaker 1: you have to talk about how it makes you feel.
Speaker 1: That's something that I've learned, Like, look, when you did that,
Speaker 1: it made me feel this way, because that's not accusatory.
Speaker 1: That opens the door for communications. And then it's also
Speaker 1: you expressing your thoughts on the situation and how you felt.
Speaker 1: And then now you can ask her, well, how are
Speaker 1: you feeling when you did that? This is how it
Speaker 1: made me feel. Instead of saying you always do this,
Speaker 1: you never do that, that's accusing you have to say okay,
Speaker 1: And I think that's the best way to start, is
Speaker 1: just talking about your own feelings, your own emotions, why
Speaker 1: you have some concerns, because it feels like things blow
Speaker 1: up into a bigger situation. She does something, then you
Speaker 1: do something to be even worse. It's like a tip
Speaker 1: for tat pretty much. Yeah, well a really big tat.
Speaker 1: But see it. Look and here you are again. You
Speaker 1: know you just you gotta take responsibility too, like where
Speaker 1: are you doing that contributes to her behavior? Not that
Speaker 1: she's right, but that doesn't mean that you have to
Speaker 1: be wrong as well, because that is a you do this,
Speaker 1: So I do this, and then you did this, which
Speaker 1: was worse than what I did. And she's looking at
Speaker 1: it like, no, what you did was worse than what
Speaker 1: I did. If you know what we decided to do.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna get like a counselor, but we don't
Speaker 1: know the clase counselor to get. I thought it was
Speaker 1: like a behavioral health counselor. I don't know. I thought
Speaker 1: like maybe Charlomagne Kid. I tried to reach him online,
Speaker 1: but I know he's busy. Maybe type of counseling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I go to therapy. But I go to therapy every week. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't. I've done couples counseling before my wife, but
Speaker 1: that's not a frequent thing that we do all the time.
Speaker 1: I do my own personal self work every week via
Speaker 1: a therapist and a sacred purpose culture. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: think you guys need couples counseling. And I will say
Speaker 1: for yourself. What my help in your conversations is if
Speaker 1: you do own up and take responsibility for what you do.
Speaker 1: You can say I know that my reaction was wrong,
Speaker 1: all right, and start there and say, but but the
Speaker 1: reason I did that was because I felt this way
Speaker 1: when you did this, and this was my reaction, and
Speaker 1: my reaction was wrong, and I apologize for that. And
Speaker 1: it's great when you can start with an apology for
Speaker 1: your actions, because then that leads her to apologize for
Speaker 1: what she's done. Okay, but somebody got to be the
Speaker 1: bigger person and take that first step. I appreciate you got,
Speaker 1: all right, find him somebody to talk to? Now, Lord
Speaker 1: please ask ye eight hundred five five one oh five one.
Speaker 1: Now you got rumors on the way, Yes, let's talk
Speaker 1: about time they have put out there. One hundred Most
Speaker 1: Influential People issue, and gonna tell you some people who
Speaker 1: made the cut and the cover. All Right, we'll get
Speaker 1: into that next. Keep a lock this to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk times most influential people.
Speaker 1: It's about. This is the rumor report, Angela Yee on
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. All right. Time magazine has put out
Speaker 1: the list of the most one hundred most influential People
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, and these are influential people from all
Speaker 1: over the world. These are different categories like Pioneers, Artists, Titans, leaders,
Speaker 1: and icons. You know, it's pretty interesting to see how
Speaker 1: they did it this year because they also have each
Speaker 1: person profiled by a famous fan or an admirer of theirs.
Speaker 1: For instance, Dapper Dan was written about by Missy Elliott
Speaker 1: Denzel wrote about Michael B. Jordan Elton John about the Weekend.
Speaker 1: He said, the Weekend is a mysterious figure in an
Speaker 1: era when mystery is rare and pop. Gabrielle Union and
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wader also featured Meg the Stallion. Just a lot
Speaker 1: of different people that deserve these accolades. Yeah, saluted the
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter founders, Alicia Gaza. Alicia has a book
Speaker 1: I think it's out of coming out called The Purpose
Speaker 1: of Power that I want to read. I want to
Speaker 1: have Elicia on the show out. I love Alicia's energy.
Speaker 1: She's got a great spirit. Right, So, if you want
Speaker 1: to see the full list of the one hundred most
Speaker 1: influential people in the world, you can go over to
Speaker 1: Times website. By the way, Donald Trump and Joe Biden
Speaker 1: made the list, so did Kamala Harris, doctor Fauci, Jay Balvin,
Speaker 1: Jennifer Hudson, Tyler Perry, Angela Davis, Selena Gomez. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: saw a Trump on that list. So I wonder what
Speaker 1: the definition of influences for Time magazine people. It definitely does,
Speaker 1: but I mean, you know, I guess, I guess. I
Speaker 1: guess it doesn't matter if it's a positive or negative influence.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know, all right. Vanessa Brian is
Speaker 1: suing the La County Sheriff's Department and Sheriff Alex Villanueva.
Speaker 1: That's for leaking that photo of the helicopter crash that
Speaker 1: killed Kobe Bryant and their daughter Gianna and other people
Speaker 1: as well in January. So it's a civil claim and
Speaker 1: they are seeking undisclosed damages to remedy civil rights violations,
Speaker 1: negligent emotional distress, and violation of privacy. That's devastating. It
Speaker 1: is devastating because even if they win, it's not going
Speaker 1: to take away any of that trauma. It's not gonna
Speaker 1: take away any of that emotional distress at all. All right,
Speaker 1: and shout out to fifty cent his power. But Two

Speaker 1: Everybody's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the
Speaker 1: line this morning. We have doctor Torrean Easterling. Welcome, Brobo.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thanks for having me. Good morning. First and foremost,
Speaker 1: thank you for everything that you've been doing right now
Speaker 1: during this pandemic. I know it's a rough time for
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Absolutely. I mean we're coming out
Speaker 1: of a sobering weekend. I mean we just hit the
Speaker 1: mark over two hundred thousand deaths here in the United States,
Speaker 1: and I think it's a it's a reminder of the
Speaker 1: moment that we're in, and I think this is why
Speaker 1: I'm here, and thank you so much for allowing me
Speaker 1: to join the show this morning to talk about the
Speaker 1: importance of the flu vaccine this year. We know that
Speaker 1: this is going to be a really important year. All
Speaker 1: of the public health officials and experts are really showing
Speaker 1: how because of the emergency and the pandemic that we're in,
Speaker 1: we really have to sennounce the message that it's going
Speaker 1: to be really important to get your flu vaccine this
Speaker 1: year more than any of the year that we've we've
Speaker 1: been through. I've been talking to a couple of dogs
Speaker 1: and they said that, you know, if you take the
Speaker 1: flu vaccine, you know it helped with the covid virus.
Speaker 1: Because you know what you have and what you don't have,
Speaker 1: you can tell the difference between just a regular cold
Speaker 1: or the flu or what's going over covid. So they're
Speaker 1: saying that definitely, kids and older people should definitely take
Speaker 1: this vaccine this year. Yeah, so absolutely, anyone over six
Speaker 1: months of age should take the flu vaccine. It's going
Speaker 1: to be specifically important for young kids, It's going to
Speaker 1: be specifically important for our elderess and so individuals over
Speaker 1: sixty five, but really it's going to be important for anyone.
Speaker 1: But DJMV you just hit a really important point. The
Speaker 1: symptoms are going to be similar for both covid as
Speaker 1: well as flu, and so it's going to be really
Speaker 1: hard to distinguish between both. I mean, you can experience fever,
Speaker 1: you running, know, its shortness of breath with both covid
Speaker 1: and flu vaccine, So it will be difficult to really
Speaker 1: discern between the two. So that's why we really want
Speaker 1: folks to just understand the prevention is really getting ammunization.
Speaker 1: What about the fact that you know a lot of
Speaker 1: these people that die from COVID nineteen, they have a
Speaker 1: lot of underlying conditions. Yeah. Absolutely, so have chronic conditions
Speaker 1: such as diabetes and hypertension. Or if you're immunal suppressed,
Speaker 1: certainly you are at a higher risk of COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: related symptoms. But certainly that's the same case for for influenza,
Speaker 1: that you're at higher risk if you have chronic disease. So, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I would add that category along with children
Speaker 1: and as well as older adults if they really need
Speaker 1: to make sure that you're getting a flu vaccine this year.
Speaker 1: What are your predictions of coming now? Because people keep
Speaker 1: saying that there's going to be a huge surge with
Speaker 1: coronavirus and that is because of the flu, because of
Speaker 1: the weather changing, because of schools opening again. So what
Speaker 1: do you predict is about to happen. We're certainly looking
Speaker 1: at the science, We're looking at the data. You know,
Speaker 1: as you three of you know, New York City was
Speaker 1: the epicenter when this all kicked off in early twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: so we continue to pay attention to the data. You know,
Speaker 1: the folks who are saying that we're being too fast.
Speaker 1: I mean we've really been looking at this and being
Speaker 1: intentional throughout you know, looking at restaurants, you know, looking
Speaker 1: at businesses across school reopening as well, and even as
Speaker 1: we think about you know, sort of larger workforce and
Speaker 1: other business steps. So that's why, you know, taking the
Speaker 1: preventive steps, continuing to wear face masks, wash your hands
Speaker 1: are the messages. They're really clear and short of anything else,
Speaker 1: of having a flu vaccine on the market, we have
Speaker 1: to continue to take those precautions, but certainly having the
Speaker 1: flu vaccine available early this year, people getting emmy unized
Speaker 1: early this year, which is why I want to thank
Speaker 1: you again for having me on earlier this year where
Speaker 1: we were really sort of sharing the same message. But
Speaker 1: we need to get the message out early. They're talking
Speaker 1: about a vaccine for COVID that's supposed to be available
Speaker 1: in November. Would you recommend taking the vaccine? So I
Speaker 1: think we're going to have to pay pay attention absolutely
Speaker 1: to the data around the COVID vaccine. So we're certainly
Speaker 1: right now in phase zero right when you think about
Speaker 1: development of a vaccine trial, because a lot of the
Speaker 1: information that's coming out, people are to really trying to
Speaker 1: discern what's true, what's real. What I would say is
Speaker 1: we need to have, you know, some serious conversations around
Speaker 1: the history of vaccination, immunization, and Black and Round communities.
Speaker 1: You know. Addressing equity issues is paramount to making sure
Speaker 1: that people understand how important it is to take a
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine, but also safety, and so we want to
Speaker 1: make sure that it's both safe, but it's also equitable,
Speaker 1: and so thinking about who is most at risk, you know,
Speaker 1: I talked about some of the important you know, groups
Speaker 1: that we have to think about, healthcare workers, people with
Speaker 1: chronic disease, elderly, you know, even Black and Round communities
Speaker 1: as they have bear the brunt of you know, the
Speaker 1: COVID pandemic. So you know, equitable allocation is going to
Speaker 1: have to be a part of the process of how
Speaker 1: we distribute a COVID vaccine. So certainly all of those
Speaker 1: three factors are going to be important. Safety, equity, but
Speaker 1: also thinking about an equitable allocation. Due to everybody wearing
Speaker 1: a mask, they said they don't expect the flu season
Speaker 1: to be as as strong as it usually is. That
Speaker 1: I guess they got, you know, pre things from some
Speaker 1: other places that they said it shouldn't be as bad
Speaker 1: because everybody has those masks on. And do you think
Speaker 1: that's a new way of life for the next ten years?
Speaker 1: People are gonna have to wear masks, you know, certainly
Speaker 1: right now, you know that's the way forward. And you know,
Speaker 1: you hit a really good point. You know that having
Speaker 1: some of the infectious disease control measures in place, like
Speaker 1: face covering, such as physical distancing is also going to
Speaker 1: support the flu virus this year as well and sort
