Speaker 1: the camera. I agree. Isn't this DJ Harry the captain
Speaker 1: of this The only one who can keep these guys
Speaker 1: in chest is the Breakfast Club. Good morning us say

Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club. And it's Friday. Yes, it's Friday.

Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. Will also give you updates with the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: Now this morning, before I should say last week, before
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club went on vacation, we taped a couple
Speaker 1: of interviews. One was pretty ricky. We're gonna get that
Speaker 1: back on today and there's a lot to talk about.
Speaker 1: We're gonna open up the phone lines. A lot has happened,
Speaker 1: you know. The DA of Minneapolis prosecuting an attorney said
Speaker 1: they don't know if there's enough information to necessarily prosecute
Speaker 1: the officers that hit different When I when I heard
Speaker 1: that that conference yesterday, so we'll talk about that. Also.
Speaker 1: They burned down the third presect. Now, the third pries
Speaker 1: Int is the preset where most of the four cops
Speaker 1: were employed by They burnt that whole precinct down. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that as well. They've been riding in Minneapolis
Speaker 1: and other states as well. People have been protesting, people
Speaker 1: have been arrested. It seems like there's been more police
Speaker 1: brutality all over the country. And I'm tired of people
Speaker 1: saying this, and this is what I'm tired of. I'm
Speaker 1: tired of people saying, well, you know, you don't get
Speaker 1: that mad when it's black on black crime. Well, when
Speaker 1: it's black on black people fighting each other, when it's
Speaker 1: minorities going at each other, that's weak to me. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why. Yes, you're absolutely right when
Speaker 1: black on black crime happens, we should be mad. But
Speaker 1: let's not change. Let's not change the goal line. That's
Speaker 1: like when you're getting an argument with your man, or
Speaker 1: you get an argument with your girl or your wife,
Speaker 1: and you start talking about well, putting up the tallest seat,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's well, you remember five
Speaker 1: years ago when you did this to me. No, we're
Speaker 1: not talking about what happened before. We're talking about this
Speaker 1: instant right now. We could talk about that later, but
Speaker 1: right now we're talking about this and how this is
Speaker 1: affecting us and what we've seen in the last couple
Speaker 1: of days. So all the comments, but oh well, we
Speaker 1: don't know. We're not talking about that. We're talking about
Speaker 1: this specific instance. We're talking about how police continue continue
Speaker 1: to disrespect us and kill us and kill unarmed us.
Speaker 1: But we'll talk about it more and get it off
Speaker 1: your chess eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.
Speaker 1: If you want to get things off your chess, you
Speaker 1: can call us up right now. Phone lines are wide open.
Speaker 1: We're here. Charlomagne yield on vacation. Is the breakfast Clocal,
Speaker 1: Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the God.
Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front
Speaker 1: page news now while all this is going on, Well,
Speaker 1: everything's happening in the world right now. Donald Trump signs
Speaker 1: a new law target in social media companies after allegedly
Speaker 1: Twitter started to fact check them to see what he
Speaker 1: was saying was right. So now with everything going on.
Speaker 1: This is what he signs today. Let's hear audio. My
Speaker 1: executive order calls for new regulations under section two thirty
Speaker 1: of the Communications Decency Act to make it that social
Speaker 1: media companies that engage in censoring or any political conduct
Speaker 1: will not be able to keep their liability shield. That's
Speaker 1: a big deal. They have a shield. They can do
Speaker 1: what they want. They have a shield that I gotta
Speaker 1: have that shield. That's crazy. That's what he's thinking about
Speaker 1: in a time like this, making sure a social media
Speaker 1: doesn't fact check him. Huh. Well, In George of Floyd's case,
Speaker 1: they're saying allegedly that he worked at the same club
Speaker 1: as the officer that had the knee in his neck. Now,
Speaker 1: allegedly George Floyd worked at a club doing security at night,
Speaker 1: and they're saying that the owner also allegedly said that
Speaker 1: this young angus is in a young individual. But this
Speaker 1: officer also worked at the same club. So I don't
Speaker 1: know if there was a previous or a prior problem,
Speaker 1: but it just seems strange that he would do that
Speaker 1: to this man and he have that have that knee
Speaker 1: on his neck for that long for no reason that
Speaker 1: that just seems strange well. Also the attorney. Prosecuting attorney
Speaker 1: Mike Freeman said the other evidence showing no wrong and
Speaker 1: believes George Floyd's kill up might not be charged. Let's
Speaker 1: hear audio of that, and I think people will be
Speaker 1: hard press to understand. You can't bring charges at least
Speaker 1: I guess the officer who has his knee. It's a
Speaker 1: violation of my ethics to talk and evaluate evidence before
Speaker 1: we annot charging decision, and I will not do that.
Speaker 1: I will say this, but that video is graphic and
Speaker 1: horrific and terrible and no person should be back. But
Speaker 1: my job at the end is to prove that he
Speaker 1: violate a criminal statue, which I can't see why they
Speaker 1: can't prove that immediately. I mean, the man was we
Speaker 1: all seen in the video. He was lifeless. The man
Speaker 1: wasn't fighting back. He was screaming. I can't breathe, he
Speaker 1: was screaming. My stomach hurts. There was no fighting that man.
Speaker 1: You had his hands tied behind his back, handcuffed. What
Speaker 1: was he gonna do? Karate kick you? What's the worst?
Speaker 1: Bite you? It was three of you guys on There
Speaker 1: was no there was no reason for that. And lastly,
Speaker 1: protestersts burned down the third priest inast night in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: That is the preset employed, which imp employed the four
Speaker 1: officers that were involved in this case. So the third
Speaker 1: Precinct was set on fire. And you know they sent
Speaker 1: out warnings last night to please back away from the
Speaker 1: third Precinct because they felt it was going to explode
Speaker 1: and blow up. But the third Precinct was set on
Speaker 1: fire by protesters and burnt down. And that is your
Speaker 1: front page news. Now get it off your chests. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one on five one. If you
Speaker 1: need to vent, call us up right now. Phone lines
Speaker 1: a wide open. Let's talk about it. It's the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up, wake up.
Speaker 1: You're time to get it off your chest. Whether you're
Speaker 1: mad or black, we want to hear from you on
Speaker 1: a breakfast block. Hello. Who's this? Hey Christ? Hey Chris,
Speaker 1: good morning man. Get it off your chest, Hey man,
Speaker 1: I just wanted to talk about the whole killing thing, man,
Speaker 1: And I just want to let everybody know, like this
Speaker 1: old testing. We've been doing this for like way too long.
Speaker 1: There's nothing's going to happen from it. Everybody just want
Speaker 1: to do the little MLK protest and instead of actually
Speaker 1: doing action. I believe in it, but I also believe
Speaker 1: in the Malcolm X fighting for a cause anymore. You know,
Speaker 1: I think we need an eye for our eyes and
Speaker 1: just protest and I actually get a point across. I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure you've seen a Donald Trump what he just said, right, Well, Paul,
Speaker 1: the Dougs. When you see the Dougs are out there riding, Yeah,
Speaker 1: how they just going to come out shooting just because
Speaker 1: we're trying to get our point across on how we
Speaker 1: feel about how they're killing us for the past few years.
Speaker 1: So I just think it's time to actually get an
Speaker 1: eye for our eye, actually get a point across to
Speaker 1: show them, like, stop doing it, and if you keep
Speaker 1: doing it, it's going to be precautions to it. You know,
Speaker 1: all cops aren't bad, right, and you know that all
Speaker 1: cops standing up saying that this individual is wrong. So
Speaker 1: you know, so so what do you do? What do
Speaker 1: you what do you propose that we do our community
Speaker 1: to go after the people that kills us, not saying
Speaker 1: all I so bad, but the ones that's crooked doing
Speaker 1: this stuff. They need to go after those people. You
Speaker 1: know it feels me out there and just like how
Speaker 1: it was back in the day, how you know, the
Speaker 1: people used to protect the neighborhood and those cricket cops
Speaker 1: need to be the exact same way to go after
Speaker 1: those cricket cops. Now, I agree with you. I feel
Speaker 1: like we need to we need to kind of make
Speaker 1: sure we protect and police our own communities. But you know,
Speaker 1: I mean to go out and just hurt random people
Speaker 1: and hurt random police officers. I don't think it's the key.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the way. I do feel you,
Speaker 1: and I do feel like sometimes they're pushing us not
Speaker 1: to do it the right way when they're saying we
Speaker 1: don't know if there's enough information or if there's enough proof,
Speaker 1: because that's bullish. But thank you for calling brother. Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this Good morning, mama, Good morning you guys. I
Speaker 1: want to get some things about my chest this morning.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the police. How y'all hear
Speaker 1: killing all black men and how scary it is because
Speaker 1: I have police funds myself, and this is so scary
Speaker 1: that you don't know if your kids going out the
Speaker 1: work come home. You don't know if your kids don't
Speaker 1: come home. It's just scary. I don't this is it's
Speaker 1: painful when it's hurtful, right, it's very scary. And like
Speaker 1: I said, I have two young boys, I have five kids,
Speaker 1: and it's very scary, you know, and watching it with
Speaker 1: them and it makes me feel bad. It puts me
Speaker 1: in a feeling in a situation where it's like, damn,
Speaker 1: can I really protect my son? Can I Can I
Speaker 1: protect my child? If my child is doing the right thing,
Speaker 1: can I protect him? You know? And you can't your
Speaker 1: kids when he these questions like why the police doing this?
Speaker 1: You know they don't know. I told him the truth.

Speaker 1: This is shy Hey Sean, what are you calling from?
Speaker 1: I'm actually calling from Heathersville, North Carolina. Good morning? This?
Speaker 1: How you feeling this dist on this Friday? You know,
Speaker 1: I honestly could be a lot there. I'm just seeing
Speaker 1: honors with you. I was riding and I was listening
Speaker 1: to you, and you know, I think you brought a
Speaker 1: very good point about everyone bringing up the black on
Speaker 1: black crime and not having an issue, and you know,
Speaker 1: you kind of made that a point, but there I
Speaker 1: kind of I kind of wanted to add to that.
Speaker 1: It's not that we're so upset about the fact that,
Speaker 1: you know, it was more black on black. We should
Speaker 1: be more upset about that. I think there we need
Speaker 1: to be more upset about. Is police const what they
Speaker 1: were here for. If they're here to protect him, to serve,
Speaker 1: So that is what they were trained to do. If
Speaker 1: we looked into it, and god hope did they someone
Speaker 1: did bomb the police building. If they turned around and
Speaker 1: they looked into it and this man was trained to
Speaker 1: be able to build a bomb, is he not going
Speaker 1: to go to prison for that? So why would this
Speaker 1: man who was trained to be able to subdue a
Speaker 1: man and to kill a man with his very hands,
Speaker 1: why he allowed to walk free from that? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: mean that's a good point. I mean, I mean when
Speaker 1: that when that district attorney yesterday said he doesn't know
Speaker 1: if there's enough evidence it just it just killed It
Speaker 1: just killed everything in me because before that I had
Speaker 1: you know, I really and maybe this is just dumb me.
Speaker 1: I really had hope. I said, you know what, this
Speaker 1: guy will get prosecuted. We all seen the video. Now
Speaker 1: there was no well the guy was fighting back or
Speaker 1: the guy was no. We all seeing three officers holding
Speaker 1: this man down, you know. And then which is another
Speaker 1: slap in the face, when they released the one of
Speaker 1: the body footage, the body camera footage, when they when
Speaker 1: they took everything out, like what kind of body footage
Speaker 1: was that you couldn't see anything. They blocked everything out,
Speaker 1: They didn't you couldn't hear the voice that was That
Speaker 1: was just a slap in the face. That just shows
Speaker 1: like they have no respect, no nothing for us, nothing.
Speaker 1: And when I when you really look into it, you
Speaker 1: know they take advantage of the fact they're really police
Speaker 1: officers that have their own that that literally are out
Speaker 1: there watching Facebook and watching the post. You don't even
Speaker 1: have to be a police officer anymore. The crimes are
Speaker 1: solved right there, and people are fitting their guilt every day,
Speaker 1: and they are taking these clips and they are literally
Speaker 1: going and their prosecuting these people. I just don't understand
Speaker 1: how a how a video can just deter anyone from
Speaker 1: saying Dad was absolutely one hundred percent. We have it
Speaker 1: on tape, absolutely absolutely, Well, thank you for calling Mama,
Speaker 1: and you be safe and try to at least have
Speaker 1: a great weekend. Absolutely, Thank you so much. You're having
Speaker 1: a great day and you just keep being positive out there.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Mama. Get it off your chest
Speaker 1: eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If
Speaker 1: you need to vent, you can hit this up now.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This
Speaker 1: is your time to get it off your chest, whether
Speaker 1: you're man or blast. So you better say we want
Speaker 1: to hear from you on the breakfast Club. Hello, who's
Speaker 1: this morning? Come morning, Nick, Come on and neck you're doing.
Speaker 1: Get it off your chest, brother. I'm gonna speak on
Speaker 1: this killing thing. Um. Honestly, I feel like we're never
Speaker 1: going to be treated right, and the easiest way to
Speaker 1: get our process to start taking the money in the
Speaker 1: power out of their pocket. Like, for instance, if we
Speaker 1: start saying we're treated eve or eagle, we're not gonna
Speaker 1: pay factors. This is because they want the money. They
Speaker 1: want our energy, our time, our money, so once we
Speaker 1: start treating them and showing them like we don't care
Speaker 1: about their rules and what we want, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to respect what we But yeah, well, you know,
Speaker 1: the taxes thing would be difficult because then they'll start
Speaker 1: saying that we own money in taxes and start trying
Speaker 1: to arrest us for not paying our taxes, but not
Speaker 1: shopping in stores and really holding our money and showing
Speaker 1: people that our money is just as valuable as anybody
Speaker 1: else's money. I agree with that. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: it's really gonna and this is gonna sound crazy, but
Speaker 1: I really think it's gonna have to get back to
Speaker 1: where we were years and years ago, where we had
Speaker 1: our own finances, our own baking systems, our own neighborhoods,
Speaker 1: our own schools, and start funding ourselves. The problem is
Speaker 1: is we're so behind with money. You know, and I'll
Speaker 1: be honest with you, we don't have a lot of
Speaker 1: us don't don't have generational wealth. A lot of us
Speaker 1: are the first time is to even start making money
Speaker 1: in our families. So we're so far behind with that.
Speaker 1: We'll be so far behind with with technology and and
Speaker 1: books and things like that. But that's what we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to get get to and I'm hoping that you know,
Speaker 1: some of us with with some money, we'll be able
Speaker 1: to invest in our own and invest in our own community.
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking you know, a million dollars. If
Speaker 1: you make a million dollars a year or two million,
Speaker 1: there's there's some of us that are making billions as
Speaker 1: African Americans and multi million. We have to start saying,
Speaker 1: you know, we have to be the lead and say,
Speaker 1: you know what, this is what we're gonna do. And
Speaker 1: the same thing with the HBCUs. You know, we have
Speaker 1: all these great athletes that go to these other schools,
Speaker 1: whether it's Duke, whether it's Clemson, whether it's Syracuse, whether
Speaker 1: it's Georgetown, and we're gonna have to get to the
Speaker 1: point where you say, you know what, we're gonna hold
Speaker 1: our own and our player is gonna have to go
Speaker 1: into our own schools, our own HBCUs. You know what
Speaker 1: that would do to an HBCU if a player like uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, like a Camelo Anthony didn't
Speaker 1: go to Syracuse and he went to you know, HBCU,
Speaker 1: or Alan Ovison didn't go to Georgetown and went to
Speaker 1: an hbc you or let's see Lebron James would have
Speaker 1: did one year in the league, and you know it
Speaker 1: went to an HBCU one year in college, or even
Speaker 1: like a Michael Jordan didn't go to North Carolina went
Speaker 1: to an HBCU. You know how that would affect an HBCU.
Speaker 1: You know, it would definitely bring more funding. And that's
Speaker 1: why I think we're gonna have to start doing absolutely great.
Speaker 1: But it's it's bad fund. Sorry, outside of the fund, Joe,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you recall a few weeks back,
Speaker 1: I called them and I was talking about that each
Speaker 1: one teach one message. Yeah, it's good to have money,
Speaker 1: but if we teach each other how to grow our
Speaker 1: own crops, make our own clothing, build our own infrastructures,
Speaker 1: our own homes and properties and stuff like that, we
Speaker 1: get off the wheel that they have us on where
Speaker 1: they feel like they can control. Once we get off
Speaker 1: that wheel and it starts releasing ourselves, you're right, we
Speaker 1: can now work amongst each other. They keep the peace
Speaker 1: and say, hey, if you're not gonna buy by this,
Speaker 1: look we're gonna turn you over. Them folks that are
Speaker 1: going to do whatever they want, which so you might
Speaker 1: want to play by play fair amongst our community. You know,
Speaker 1: we should write and and you know, a brother. That's
Speaker 1: why that's why I push financial freedom so much, and
Speaker 1: that's why I push real estates so much, and that's
Speaker 1: why I try to do my part to having some
Speaker 1: of these financial advisors and these minorities up here talking
Speaker 1: about it, because you know, you look at our community
Speaker 1: and we rent, right, we're in the projects, we've rent,
Speaker 1: we rent, and a lot of us even that we're renting,
Speaker 1: we're paying a thousand dollars to rent, fifteen hundred dollars
Speaker 1: to rent. And what people don't know it's there's a
Speaker 1: lot of help out there. When I mean health, there's
Speaker 1: grants that I help you with your down payments, there's
Speaker 1: grants to help you with your closing courts. So for
Speaker 1: a lot of times, the same money that we would
Speaker 1: pay and rent, we can pay and we can actually
Speaker 1: own something. We can have something. And people like, well,
Speaker 1: what does that do or what does that? What that
Speaker 1: does is that creates some type of generational wealth, meaning
Speaker 1: when you die, when you pass away, you give something
Speaker 1: to your kids and not just an apartment in the
Speaker 1: projects or you give them something, You give them equity
Speaker 1: where they can start. And that's what we need to
Speaker 1: do everybody else. You know, you know when people die,
Speaker 1: they're leave him with millions of dollars, leaving with one
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars. We don't have that because
Speaker 1: a lot of times we don't know. So we got
Speaker 1: to continue learning, continue to understand, and continue to stand
Speaker 1: by like stand by that make sure that we can
Speaker 1: pass on for our kids equity and not that thing
Speaker 1: we need that we need them for our people. But
Speaker 1: thank you for calling him, brother, and you have a
Speaker 1: great weekend. Man. Hello, Who's this is? Joe? I was
Speaker 1: going on, Joe? What's going on? Were you calling from? Bro?
Speaker 1: What do you hear? What you say? I'm falling from Florida? Okay, Joe,
Speaker 1: what's up? Man? Get it off your chest? Well listen.
Speaker 1: I want to thank you guys. Every morning I listen
Speaker 1: to you guys coming on from work and I want
Speaker 1: to say, what's going on with that? George Floyd Case.
Speaker 1: I'm a police officer myself, and I honestly I am
Speaker 1: I am shocked. When I was watching it was it
Speaker 1: was bad. And I know everybody I work with we're
Speaker 1: saying the same exact thing. And honestly, man, this guy's
Speaker 1: got to go to jail. Man, I mean, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know the whole case, and I want to
Speaker 1: jump to any conclusions, but based on what it looks like, man,
Speaker 1: it don't look good. But let me ask you a question.
Speaker 1: Let's say anything else happened? What? What? What else could
Speaker 1: have happened? It's not like we've seen a ten seconds
Speaker 1: of the video. We see minutes of the video. Like
Speaker 1: I saw the whole thing. He's handcuffed. What's the Listen,
Speaker 1: the game rule is once the handcuffs wrong, that's it.
Speaker 1: The fight. That's right. He can't do anything. He can't
Speaker 1: like unless he gonna karate kick you exactly. You know,
Speaker 1: you know all these games the guy's handcuffs and and
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know his medical condition. Ornything that
Speaker 1: if he's combative with his feet, you get restraints on
Speaker 1: his feet. That's it. You don't have to I mean
Speaker 1: me on his throat, you know. And that's what we need.
Speaker 1: We need more officers and police officers like you to
Speaker 1: stand up and say, yo, that's wrong, it is wrong.
Speaker 1: And you know another thing is I think we need
Speaker 1: to have an open dialogue because like I worked all
Speaker 1: last night and I can only see both you know,
Speaker 1: and at me, I don't. I don't know anything what's
Speaker 1: going on. Like I'm not studying this case. I know
Speaker 1: what's going on, but I'm like that ain't me. I
Speaker 1: don't live in that state. I don't know nothing about
Speaker 1: what's going on up there. Yeah, but I should now,
Speaker 1: but yeah, but you know, the problem is it is
Speaker 1: this has been happening for a long time, and people
Speaker 1: don't know who to take it out on. You know,
Speaker 1: people see what happening, and then for for the the
Speaker 1: you know, the district attorney to say, hey, we don't
Speaker 1: know if there's enough information. It makes one what makes
Speaker 1: one bad apple feel like all of all the apples
Speaker 1: are bad. And that's how people are feeling like that,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's not it's feeling like, you know,
Speaker 1: police officers have been getting away with this for a
Speaker 1: long time, and we don't know who to trust. You know,
Speaker 1: most officers are not speaking up, so we don't know
Speaker 1: who to trust nobody. I just think about going to
Speaker 1: work and doing helping out the community the best I could.
Speaker 1: And then and then trying to come home one piece.
Speaker 1: That's my goal every morning. Well, if you if you're
Speaker 1: a good ally and and and you honestly are trying
Speaker 1: to help the people out there, we appreciate you. Brother.
Speaker 1: We need an open dialogue and we need to tell

Speaker 1: Well you know this guy, this guy, this guy got
Speaker 1: murdered essentially amer absolutely, Like I said, I want let
Speaker 1: them do their thing. I don't think every officernit needs
Speaker 1: to get a death right now. I mean it's absolutely
Speaker 1: I mean I'll tell you right now, I've got like
Speaker 1: ten of them last night. I'm like, what the hell

Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. But thank you so much, bro,
Speaker 1: get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five,
Speaker 1: one oh five one. If you need to vent hit
Speaker 1: this up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, man, man,
Speaker 1: man morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angelie Ye, Charlomagne the guy.
Speaker 1: We are to breakfast club Angeli and Charlomagne on vacation.
Speaker 1: Let's get in some front page news. Now, it's some
Speaker 1: crazy issue. Now shout to CNN. The CNN crew has
Speaker 1: been arrested while covering the Minneapolis protests, right live on television.
Speaker 1: It's the craziest thing I ever seen in You can
Speaker 1: tell that they really don't want people seeing what's going on. Now.
Speaker 1: Let me break it down. I don't know if we
Speaker 1: have the audio job or somebody when we get the audio. Now,
Speaker 1: the CNN crew is taping and it's like, oh, they
Speaker 1: have action. They see the police officers running to arrest
Speaker 1: somebody else. He says, yeah, we have action right now,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, they surround the CNN
Speaker 1: host right the CNN correspond his name is Omar Jimenez.
Speaker 1: May maybe we got audio. We do have audio, right, So,
Speaker 1: as they're surrounding him, he says, hey, I work for CNN.
Speaker 1: Would you like me to back up? Where would you
Speaker 1: like me to go? Where I can possibly take? They
Speaker 1: say nothing to him, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: they arrest him and I don't see him arrest to crew.
Speaker 1: I just see him arrest of the minority. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: just me and I'm sensitive, but I don't see anybody
Speaker 1: else getting arrested on camera. Let's play the audio. Please
Speaker 1: show it up at the fire department or with the
Speaker 1: fire department apartment, I should say, on the building we
Speaker 1: showed him that was burning. This is among the state
Speaker 1: patrol unit that was advancing up the street saying and
Speaker 1: scattering the protesters at that point for people to fear
Speaker 1: the area, and so we walked away. I'm sorry, Okay,
Speaker 1: why am I under arrest? Why? Why am I under
Speaker 1: arrestaur right now? Okay, we are with the right. So
Speaker 1: he was arrested, he was walked, he was taken away. Now,
Speaker 1: before that, they surround him for like at least thirty seconds,
Speaker 1: and they're just looking at him, and he's saying, non confrontational, politely, Hey,
Speaker 1: if there's a problem, where would you like me to stand?
Speaker 1: If you want me to move, where would you like
Speaker 1: me to move? This is all on camera, this is live.
Speaker 1: Police say nothing. He goes, it's a problem, where would
Speaker 1: you like me to move? I will move, And all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're under arrest. And I only see
Speaker 1: them take him away. I don't see them take anybody
Speaker 1: else away. It's like they don't want to show what's
Speaker 1: going on on because obviously the brother was doing absolutely
Speaker 1: positively nothing. Oh my god, well last night they believe
Speaker 1: protests burned down the third precent. Now the third precent
Speaker 1: is where the fourth officers were employed, that they burnt
Speaker 1: that building completely down. And this is just this is
Speaker 1: this is just I don't even know what to say.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know what to say. And your President,
Speaker 1: I'll say, your president. When all this is going on,
Speaker 1: he signs an order for social media because social media
Speaker 1: is check fact in everything that he's saying. Okay, can
Speaker 1: we have audio of that? With everything that's going on,
Speaker 1: this is what he's concerned about. My executive order calls
Speaker 1: for new regulations under section two thirty of the Communications
Speaker 1: Decency at to make it that social media companies that
Speaker 1: engage in censoring or any political conduct will not be
Speaker 1: able to keep their liability shield. That's a big deal.
Speaker 1: They have a shield. They can do it they want,
Speaker 1: they have a shield. They're not going to have that shield. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So that's what he's concerned with. That's what he's concerned it. Now,
Speaker 1: also the district attorney said he doesn't know if there's
Speaker 1: enough evidence to actually prosecute these four officers. Can we
Speaker 1: hit this stupid statement? And I think people will be
Speaker 1: hard for us to understand how you can't bring charges
Speaker 1: at least against the officer who has his knee on
Speaker 1: that man's neck. It's a violation of my ethics to
Speaker 1: talk and evaluate evidence before we enount charging decision, and
Speaker 1: I will not do that. I will say this that
Speaker 1: that video is graphic and verrific and terrible and no
Speaker 1: person should be that. But my job at the end
Speaker 1: is to prove that he violate a criminal statue. Has
Speaker 1: anybody else's heart hurt from that? I feel like my
Speaker 1: soul was taken away when I heard that, Like our
Speaker 1: alives mean nothing. It's not like this is a witness
Speaker 1: scene it or this is hearsay. We've seen the f
Speaker 1: and video. We all seen it with our own eyes.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, and that's front page news. When we
Speaker 1: come back. My son shout to my son. My son,
Speaker 1: of course, is a rapper. He's from the Bronx. He's
Speaker 1: an activist as well. He's on the front lines right now.
Speaker 1: My son and his team shout to Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsar.
Speaker 1: They are the individuals that are on the front lines
Speaker 1: when everything happens. When something happens, they are there. They
Speaker 1: are out there protesting, they are out there organizing, and
Speaker 1: he is our eyes out there, and we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: to him when we come back. We're gonna talk to
Speaker 1: my son eight hundred five eight five one oh five one's.
Speaker 1: He's been out there for the last couple of days.
Speaker 1: He's been shot at by rubbe bullets. He's been you know,
Speaker 1: affected by tear gas when tear gas was thrown at them.
Speaker 1: He's been protesting at the officer's house that put the
Speaker 1: knee in George Floyd's neck. He protested outside of the
Speaker 1: district attorney's house. He's been protesting outside the police station.
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk to my song when we come back.
Speaker 1: Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy
Speaker 1: we are the Breakfast Club now, Charlomagne and Year on vacation.
Speaker 1: So I'm holding it down and I got my brother,
Speaker 1: my son on the line. My song, how's it going bro,
Speaker 1: I'm blessed king. How are you doing, man, I'm doing
Speaker 1: pretty good. Man. So for people that don't know, you're
Speaker 1: out there on the front line. You've been out there
Speaker 1: protesting out in Minneapolis. So what are you seeing out there?
Speaker 1: For people that don't know, and you know, want to know,
Speaker 1: because all we see is what the media puts on television.
Speaker 1: So what are you seeing out there? Thank you for
Speaker 1: having me. I've been here for the last three days. Then,
Speaker 1: I want to say. We got here on Tuesday, and
Speaker 1: it's definitely been a lot of protesting. Man. We've been
Speaker 1: pretty much to the site where the brother George Floyd
Speaker 1: was murdered at. We protested in front of the officers home, Um,
Speaker 1: we protested at the DA's home, we protested at the precincts.
Speaker 1: So I've pretty much seen every aspect of the protests
Speaker 1: for the most part. You know, the media is trying
Speaker 1: to project as if it's just been some violent protests
Speaker 1: and just there have been things. But I wanted to
Speaker 1: tell you that most of those the violence or the
Speaker 1: violent nature of it, because there's amongst the protesters there
Speaker 1: has been no violence. You know, there might be a
Speaker 1: little disagreement here and there, but for the most part,
Speaker 1: the protesters ang was the system and the police started.
Speaker 1: They have initiated violence by shooting rubber bullets off the
Speaker 1: police station. They've been drawing tear gas, they've been throwing
Speaker 1: kinds of smoke bombs off the off the present. So
Speaker 1: that that's from when I got here. S's Tuesday. That's
Speaker 1: where I've seen, you know, the negativity start. Sure there's
Speaker 1: been there's there're angry people, but they haven't been any weapons.
Speaker 1: We haven't I haven't seen anybody shooting anything. Most of
Speaker 1: the times the protesters have their hands up. I've seen
Speaker 1: officers point blank shooting protesters that walked just like this,
Speaker 1: the hands up with rubber bullets, throwing tear gas into
Speaker 1: full crowds. You know, um, people are angry, and you
Speaker 1: know they're angry. Man, you've seen the same thing we've seen.
Speaker 1: You know, the district attorney here um to ignore that
Speaker 1: and then come back yesterday and say that he didn't
Speaker 1: see anything that was a crime. You know, it's it's
Speaker 1: like it's a slap in the face. And you know
Speaker 1: we most times people people don't want to be here.
Speaker 1: We want to it's a pandemic. You want to be
Speaker 1: home with your family. You know, you want to make
Speaker 1: sure that you say the fact that we have to
Speaker 1: actually have to be out here to demand justice for
Speaker 1: something that the whole world see was murdered. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's just it's just disgusting. You know, it's really disgusting. Now.
Speaker 1: You know, people are reporting that they've seen police officers
Speaker 1: and I don't know how true this is. Are they've
Speaker 1: seen police breaking windows and starting fires. Have you seen
Speaker 1: any of that. They're saying that it's not necessarily the protesters.
Speaker 1: They said it starts from possibly the police breaking these
Speaker 1: windows and possibly the police starting these fires and then
Speaker 1: blaming on the rioters. Well, I mean that's pretty much
Speaker 1: one of the tactics of this government. You know, they
Speaker 1: put agent Provoca tours into the crowds and the protesters
Speaker 1: and they create the most havoc and then they you know,
Speaker 1: they blame it on the protesters so they can have
Speaker 1: reasons to unlock up, to harm and do things to protests.
Speaker 1: That's a strategy that's been used for years. You know,
Speaker 1: I've seen the video. I cannot confirm nor deny if
Speaker 1: that is actually the officer of who was doing that,
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying that that that strategy has not
Speaker 1: it's not anything new, you know, as as somebody who's
Speaker 1: been protesting for the last eight years. You know, I've
Speaker 1: I've seen, I've heard, you know, I've been a witness
Speaker 1: to them. You know, the government and the system putting
Speaker 1: their spies into the crowds, and they'd be the ones
Speaker 1: who are actually the ones initiate any level of crime
Speaker 1: or violence. Now also seen video and you said you
Speaker 1: were protesting outside the officers house. Now we've seen a
Speaker 1: video where it looked like they might have been like
Speaker 1: a hundred officers outside surrounding his house. Was that true?
Speaker 1: That is definitely true. We were standing there and there
Speaker 1: was a line maybe started out with about twenty thirty officers,
Speaker 1: and then out of nowhere, another eight of them came
Speaker 1: out of nowhere and they just stood there riot gear
Speaker 1: full rider gear um and you know, just to intimidate
Speaker 1: the protesters. And it's sad, you know, it's just this
Speaker 1: whole situation is just sad, and we're just looking at it.
Speaker 1: Most of these people are traumatized. We're dealing with a
Speaker 1: level of trauma. You know that that is beyond anything
Speaker 1: that I've seen like I've seen. You know, I was,
Speaker 1: I was really young the rocks while it's happened, and
Speaker 1: you know, I was, I wasn't actually present at the
Speaker 1: Ferguson situation, but this is something that I've never seen,
Speaker 1: and I realized that we have reached a balling point
Speaker 1: in America. You know, I think the victimization and you know,
Speaker 1: disregard for black lives, for black life has come to
Speaker 1: the point. And it's not just black people out here.
Speaker 1: They are way they're probably more white people out here
Speaker 1: than they are Black people, but they are a united front.
Speaker 1: Everybody has come to the consensus that what is happening
Speaker 1: can't keep happening, and they don't care, you know, they
Speaker 1: are they're not scared. Then they're taking the tear gas
Speaker 1: and they're coming right back. Yesterday we were out there
Speaker 1: and before the precinct was burnt down, you know, the police,
Speaker 1: the police had came out because people were knocking on
Speaker 1: the precinct door. The police, you know, they have boarded
Speaker 1: everything up, and most people thought that the police weren't inside.
Speaker 1: And then next year, you know, when they started to
Speaker 1: being on the doors, the police came out on the
Speaker 1: roof and they started shooting bullets, and they started throwing
Speaker 1: you know, tear gas, and then the crowd dispersed because
Speaker 1: when they if you don't know anything aboudy, when they
Speaker 1: throw that tea gas, it spreads for blocks, like it
Speaker 1: just starts to spread. So everybody's running, trying to clear
Speaker 1: their eyes, point milking their eyes, do whatever they have
Speaker 1: to do. And within another five or ten minutes, the
Speaker 1: protesters came right back, you know. They just they they
Speaker 1: all fit up, you know. And the next day I
Speaker 1: heard that the police station haven't burned down. And we
Speaker 1: do not want violence. And I say this a thousand times.
Speaker 1: Nobody's advocating for violence, nobody's advocate for negativity. When I'm
Speaker 1: having these conversations with these young people from our communities
Speaker 1: and I'm saying, let's let's let's go about this, let's march,
Speaker 1: let's protest, they look at me there in my eyes
Speaker 1: and said, they tie the marching. You know that we've
Speaker 1: been marching for hundreds of years and they're still killing
Speaker 1: us to these streets, you know, and they're saying that
Speaker 1: the only thing that this government respects is loss or something,
Speaker 1: you know, And this is the mindset that they have
Speaker 1: and they don't want These are good people. These are
Speaker 1: not criminals. These are not people that's in the street
Speaker 1: that's doing things like that. These are people who have
Speaker 1: done everything right. They've done it, They've got jobs, they
Speaker 1: want to school, and they reached the point where they say,
Speaker 1: you can't keep taking out alive wanting us to be
Speaker 1: peaceful quote unfold. You know, this is not you know
Speaker 1: when they say no justice, no peace, this is the
Speaker 1: no peace. And nobody wants to hurt anybody. This that
Speaker 1: hasn't anybody hurt anybody. But this in this property and
Speaker 1: the capitalistic society that we live in, is what's led
Speaker 1: to the disregard for black life. You know, These these
Speaker 1: corporations who make billions of dollars and you know, and
Speaker 1: they fund these government officials and which fund our police system.
Speaker 1: Is the reason why that they disregard our life. So
Speaker 1: they don't see or care about these corporations or these
Speaker 1: businesses that they're burning down, you know, and the police
Speaker 1: stations symbolize is the biggest symbolization of what has disregarded
Speaker 1: our life so so long. So when you see people
Speaker 1: celebrate the burning down of the present, it's not about violence.
Speaker 1: It's not about wanting to harm anybody. It's the symbolization
Speaker 1: of something who was something in a government body that
Speaker 1: has harmed black people for so long actually being destroyed.
Speaker 1: We got bore with my son. When we come back.
Speaker 1: He's our eyes on the ground. He's on the front lines.
Speaker 1: He's out there protesting. He's just filling us in what
Speaker 1: he sees out there. Right we'll talk to him when
Speaker 1: we come back as the Breakfast Club, gomarit morning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with my son. He's
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis right now. He's on the front lines. He's
Speaker 1: telling us what he sees. And I mean, it's all
Speaker 1: good to see it through the media because the media
Speaker 1: could depict what they want us show. But he's there,
Speaker 1: So my son, I get a lot of people and
Speaker 1: even seeing on my thing, and you do, and you
Speaker 1: do both, So you're a perfect person to anton this.
Speaker 1: People are saying, you know, how do we get so
Speaker 1: upset when other people kill us? When we kill ourselves
Speaker 1: all the time. And I think, you know, you would
Speaker 1: be a perfect person because you're on both sides. You're
Speaker 1: you know, kings can't kill kings, march and you you
Speaker 1: try to just advocate for people. It's just not be
Speaker 1: violent towards each other at all. So when people say that,
Speaker 1: you know, like, hey, we kill each other, what is
Speaker 1: your response to that? For us all? My response for
Speaker 1: that is the one I want people to really understand
Speaker 1: is when we kill each other, which is happening, you know,
Speaker 1: with it is poverty, there will be violence, right, you know,
Speaker 1: And and that's those are just facts. If you if
Speaker 1: you change the realities of our communities, if you make
Speaker 1: sure that people in our communities can eat and survive,
Speaker 1: the violence will disappear. But the government knows that, and
Speaker 1: that's why the poverty rate in the communities that we
Speaker 1: come from hasn't disappeared. Because violence is a necessary component
Speaker 1: to the capitalist society that we live in. They need
Speaker 1: violence so they can feel jails. They need violence. They
Speaker 1: need us to continue to kill each other. So this
Speaker 1: that is that structure has been fed. What I say
Speaker 1: is when we kill each other, which is by no
Speaker 1: means anything good for us to go for when that happens,
Speaker 1: Jay and Joejoe going to go to jail for the
Speaker 1: rest of their lives. You know, when they're court, they
Speaker 1: going to spend the rest of their lives. We're gonna
Speaker 1: lose the person whose life they took in the person
Speaker 1: who took their life. The police are not being held
Speaker 1: accountable when we have to sit outside and witness on
Speaker 1: tape somebody a man sitting on a man's neck, you know,
Speaker 1: with no regard for his life, to look you in
Speaker 1: the face in the camera, knowing that he's sitting on
Speaker 1: this and the man is telling you that he can't breathe,
Speaker 1: he's calling for his mother. When those things are happening,
Speaker 1: and they can tell you that they don't see a crime,
Speaker 1: that right there is one of the biggest miscarriages of
Speaker 1: justice ever and that is by the system and in
Speaker 1: the structure that is supposed to protect and serve. If
Speaker 1: the people was supposed to protect us or the one
Speaker 1: killing us and they can't even be held accountable, then
Speaker 1: we don't have a chance. So when we compare the
Speaker 1: black on black crime quote unquote that they say, which
Speaker 1: is a myth because most people, anybody crime, crime is
Speaker 1: committed by the people who are closest to you. This
Speaker 1: we don't say white on white crime because whites killed
Speaker 1: more whites than blacks kill blacks. That's a fact because
Speaker 1: during the numbers tell you that if you google it
Speaker 1: and you look, more white people kill more white people
Speaker 1: are black because they are the majority in the world.
Speaker 1: So that's a fact. But we always want to give this, Oh,
Speaker 1: but we kill ourselves. Yes, we kill ourselves, but we
Speaker 1: are going to be held accountable. What we are asking
Speaker 1: for in this moment is accountability. Envy. If they would
Speaker 1: have locked those officers up and said, okay, they committed
Speaker 1: a crime, we would not be here. Why do why
Speaker 1: does Why is the loss of life, the loss of
Speaker 1: black life, not as valuable as a loss of property
Speaker 1: in a mirment? Why do they value property more than
Speaker 1: they value us? You know? And that and that's something
Speaker 1: that we really have to ask. So when people say
Speaker 1: that to me, I say, I understand because I advocate
Speaker 1: for kings to stop killing kings. I want us to
Speaker 1: protect ourselves. What I understand the reality. Also, I understand
Speaker 1: if I can't change your reality, if I can't feed you,
Speaker 1: if I don't if I don't make the block, you
Speaker 1: believe that the block is the only way you're gonna survive,
Speaker 1: So you have to fight your brother who was fighting
Speaker 1: for the same crumbs that you're fighting for. But I
Speaker 1: can't change that reality. I know that the reality of
Speaker 1: me stopping the violence in our communities, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: very low. And they know that as well. You know,
Speaker 1: if you look at hip hop, if you look at
Speaker 1: hip hop, these the same people that come from hip
Speaker 1: hop that are now millionaires that go and they moved
Speaker 1: to these nice areas and they pieced for and they
Speaker 1: support and these people came from that violence. The minute
Speaker 1: that you change their circumstances, they an't know they commend crown.
Speaker 1: They wothered about what they had to do. So that
Speaker 1: that theory is something that we can't allow them to
Speaker 1: play on us. Because most people who are who actually
Speaker 1: have gained some level of stature, who have got some money,
Speaker 1: they utilize these platforms. They want us to say, look,
Speaker 1: well we kill each other. They want us to say that,
Speaker 1: and if you haven't, if you don't understand the dynamics
Speaker 1: of that, we utilize that and we weaponize that against ourselves. Man,
Speaker 1: you know, I heard how did hear the exact words
Speaker 1: that I heard was khalifa and then was mad. They say, oh,
Speaker 1: we shouldn't be doing this. You know, I understand what.
Speaker 1: We can't be doing this to the communities. And it's
Speaker 1: something you can't tell people how to vent their anger,
Speaker 1: especially when you ain't never done anything. Sometimes you just
Speaker 1: gotta be quiet, You just gott you have to be
Speaker 1: quiet because this is not your field. You know, this
Speaker 1: is something people people have been on the front lines
Speaker 1: of this for a long time, and we've been preaching peace.
Speaker 1: We've been advocating for peace, and we've been doing it
Speaker 1: the right way to going to school and we've been
Speaker 1: telling these kids. But at some point, at some point,
Speaker 1: the piece that you talking about, the piece that we're
Speaker 1: talking about differentiates. There's a difference between it because we
Speaker 1: get to a point where you cannot You can't keep
Speaker 1: kicking a dog before he bites you back. All right,
Speaker 1: we got more with my son when we come back,
Speaker 1: don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Good morning pointing. Everybody's
Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We all the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with my son. Now.
Speaker 1: My song's out in Minneapolis right now. He's actually on
Speaker 1: the front line. So he's our eyes and is so
Speaker 1: for people out there that can't be out there, that
Speaker 1: can't make it out there, that just want to help.
Speaker 1: What would you advise that they do? How can people help?
Speaker 1: You know, what I tell people is there's so many
Speaker 1: different entry points into this movement. You know, some people
Speaker 1: on social media all day. Sometimes you have to lift
Speaker 1: the words that we speak on your social media. You know,
Speaker 1: that's a very big platform right now. We realize, especially
Speaker 1: during this pandemic, that spreading the word through social media,
Speaker 1: especially through social distancing in East Times, you know, that's
Speaker 1: a very big platform. So if you have a platform
Speaker 1: and you have a voice, utilize that to spread the
Speaker 1: message that we have. You know, show that you are
Speaker 1: aliged with the you know, with justice, that you are
Speaker 1: alive with what it is that we're fighting for. And
Speaker 1: as you also, as you said, you can donate to organizations.
Speaker 1: You know, if you see the people doing the work.
Speaker 1: You know, there are people like our organization Until Freedom
Speaker 1: that you can donate to. You know, we have a website,
Speaker 1: we have a Instagram in page, we have cash apso
Speaker 1: because as you said, we've been out here for the
Speaker 1: last five days and it's expensive, you know, we we unfortunately,
Speaker 1: we were we came to Kentucky, first with Rihanna Taylor,
Speaker 1: the young lady who was shot eight times in our
Speaker 1: home by the police who did a no knot grade
Speaker 1: and ran into didn't even run into a home. They
Speaker 1: shot through her home and be shot through the windows
Speaker 1: after they kicked her door through, and a boyfriend shot
Speaker 1: one shot as a warning shot because they thought that
Speaker 1: he was being robbed, and he shot through this woman's
Speaker 1: home and shot at eight times. They shot over thirty
Speaker 1: shots after they didn't even say hello, this is the
Speaker 1: police or anything, and they killed this woman. This was
Speaker 1: a good woman. She was an EMT worker. She had
Speaker 1: nobody said a bad word, so we had to go
Speaker 1: there to protest for her. Then we drove down the
Speaker 1: block to Indianapolis, where a young man, Chaal Rose was
Speaker 1: shot in front of his home by officer who was unarmed.
Speaker 1: You know, said then to hear on the way from
Speaker 1: there that this happened to George Floyd. So we didn't
Speaker 1: anticipate being a way for over a week, having a drive.
Speaker 1: We drove from Indianapolis, a ten hour ride. We had
Speaker 1: to come here, been here for the last four days.
Speaker 1: We got to pay hotel feeds. You gotta eat, you
Speaker 1: gotta survive, we gotta take the planes. Probably gonna be
Speaker 1: here for extended amount of time until all this blows
Speaker 1: over because it looks like you know, the da IS
Speaker 1: still hasn't seen evidence that it's criminal. So you know,
Speaker 1: we want to be here to uplift the voice. You
Speaker 1: want to be on these front lines. We want to
Speaker 1: make sure that our voices have heard. You know, you
Speaker 1: want to continue to just to stand up and be
Speaker 1: on the front lines for people who can't. So yes,
Speaker 1: we do need the donations if it's possible. You know,
Speaker 1: there are so many different ways. I tell people. You
Speaker 1: have to utilize your yount have to know what it
Speaker 1: is that you can do that can contribute. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes some people don't have them, but we have people
Speaker 1: who have donated three or four dollars to us said
Speaker 1: that all path and you know those three and four
Speaker 1: dollars mean so much to me because I know that
Speaker 1: you you don't really have that. For you to give
Speaker 1: three and four dollars, that means that you really wanted
Speaker 1: to donate because you really want change, and unfortunately these
Speaker 1: are the times we are in. So you know, any
Speaker 1: donations that you give to our organization, we definitely appreciate it,
Speaker 1: and you know, and we're going to utilize it for
Speaker 1: the people and we and what we do also is
Speaker 1: when we are getting donations, whatever city, we go to
Speaker 1: their grassroots organizations in the cities that we actually go to.
Speaker 1: So as a national organization, we come and we bring
Speaker 1: those resources and we donate to the to the grassroots
Speaker 1: organizations who've been doing the work in the cities. Like
Speaker 1: right now today we have a press conference, you know,
Speaker 1: and a lot of Stephen Jackson is going to be there,
Speaker 1: and a lot of different celebrities are going to come
Speaker 1: in to speak on behalf and demand justice here and
Speaker 1: there's organizers who've been here, you know, we've been here
Speaker 1: for years before. When Philando cast Still was killed in
Speaker 1: this is the same town that Philando cast Still was
Speaker 1: killed in, you know, this this is the same town
Speaker 1: a young Somali officer accidentally shot up a white woman,
Speaker 1: you know, accidentally shot and he senses this officer to
Speaker 1: twelve years. You know, he's he's he was locked up,
Speaker 1: arrested and he's doing twelve years in prison. So we
Speaker 1: know that they can charge officers for killing so they
Speaker 1: just they just don't do it. When it's us, you know.
Speaker 1: So those are ways that you can support us. Man,
Speaker 1: anything but any but just do something. I see people
Speaker 1: on live. You know. The thing that pisses me off
Speaker 1: envy is when people are one telling me what I
Speaker 1: do doesn't matter, or you shouldn't be nobody kids. You
Speaker 1: need to be doing that. I tell them, won't you
Speaker 1: do something? Just do anything. I don't care what you do.
Speaker 1: And don't tell me to do something that you're not
Speaker 1: willing to do. Don't tell me to go out and
Speaker 1: shoot and do this and that when you I didn't
Speaker 1: see you just go out and said nothing, you know.
Speaker 1: So so you know my song. You know, we gotta
Speaker 1: go on right now. But I appreciate you so much,
Speaker 1: and we appreciate the fight, and thank you so much
Speaker 1: for checking in and being so so real with it,
Speaker 1: like you are unapologetically the person that you are, and
Speaker 1: we're grateful and we thank you, you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: we definitely do and shouting to Nika Mallory and Lindau
Speaker 1: side so I think they'll outdate with you. And we
Speaker 1: appreciate old you guys man, and thank you so much.
Speaker 1: And we'll continue to push and we'll continue to have
Speaker 1: you back and thank you brother, thank you for always
Speaker 1: supporting us. Have you man, and we're gonna continue to
Speaker 1: fight until we can't fight no more. So yes, until freedom.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, continue to check in and appreciate your brother.
Speaker 1: Be safe you too, love bro. Morning. Everybody is DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club.
Speaker 1: Good morning now, Charlomagne and Ye are on vacation. I'm
Speaker 1: holding it down. We're gonna open up the phone lines
Speaker 1: when we come back, all right. Usually we do don't
Speaker 1: get the day here, but we're gonna open up the
Speaker 1: phone lines. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one.
Speaker 1: If you want to vent a lot of stuff is
Speaker 1: going on, I'll give you some updates. So the district
Speaker 1: attorney said there might not be enough information to actually
Speaker 1: charge these for police officers. Do we have the audio
Speaker 1: play audio dramas? I didn't tell dramas the audio was playing.
Speaker 1: So we'll get Hi a second to pull it up.
Speaker 1: And I think people will be hard for us to
Speaker 1: understand how you can't bring charges at least against the
Speaker 1: officer who had his knee on that man's neck. It's
Speaker 1: a violation of my ethics to talk and evaluate evidence
Speaker 1: before we adopt our charging decision. And I will not
Speaker 1: do that. I will say this that that video is
Speaker 1: graphic and horrific and terrible and no person should be that.
Speaker 1: But my job in the end is to prove that
Speaker 1: he violate a criminal step. And when I heard that
Speaker 1: yesterday that the killing, of course hurt my heart, but
Speaker 1: that even that, that damn it took my soloway to
Speaker 1: just make it seem like, hey, we killed you and
Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do. We're not even gonna necessarily prosecute.
Speaker 1: That's what that That's what I took out of it.
Speaker 1: You know. Then I see yesterday they released uh, I
Speaker 1: guess one officer's body cam, and the body cam was
Speaker 1: was bull I mean everything was blocked out. They pretty
Speaker 1: much blocked out what he was saying. It was like,
Speaker 1: why even release it. There's nothing that you could get
Speaker 1: out of that bodycam footage. It was nothing that you
Speaker 1: could get out of it, nothing that you can see,
Speaker 1: nothing that would made it more understanding. There was nothing.
Speaker 1: It was. It was like why even put it out?
Speaker 1: That was even more of a smack in the phase. Well,
Speaker 1: last night rioters burned down the third priest in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: That's the priesson that the four cops worked at. They
Speaker 1: burned down the precinct. Donald Trump sent in the National Guard,
Speaker 1: and what Donald Trump wrote on Instagram, it was just disrespectful,
Speaker 1: like like this, this is what Donald Trump, you're president roll.
Speaker 1: These thugs are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd and
Speaker 1: I won't let it happen. Just spoke to the Governor
Speaker 1: Tim Watson, told him that the military is with them
Speaker 1: all the way. In a difficulty, we will assume control.
Speaker 1: But when the looting starts, the shooting starts, thank you.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? I take it as its open
Speaker 1: season right when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Is that?
Speaker 1: What is that? What your president means by that? But
Speaker 1: let's open up the phone lines. Man eight hundred five
Speaker 1: eight five one o five one. Would love to hear
Speaker 1: from you, just your your your thoughts, your opinions on
Speaker 1: everything that's going on. Phone lines are wide open. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one five one. It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 1: the guy. We are the breakfas his club. Now we're
Speaker 1: just taking your calls. Man. A lot going on in Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: They burned down the third Precinct yesterday. That was the
Speaker 1: priestin that the four officers worked at. This morning, the
Speaker 1: CNN crew was arrested, which was crazy. They were arrested
Speaker 1: live on air. They were reporting, and you know, the
Speaker 1: officers surrounded him and the gentleman was like, all right,
Speaker 1: well would you like me to move? Where would you
Speaker 1: like me to go? You know, if I'm too close?
Speaker 1: Where would you like me to go? They said nothing
Speaker 1: for about twenty thirty seconds flat, and then arrested him.
Speaker 1: He said, well, why am I getting arrested? He says,
Speaker 1: because you were told the move and you didn't. He
Speaker 1: asked on camera, well, I heard he has been released
Speaker 1: the whole Crewise, I didn't know the whole crew was
Speaker 1: actually arrested, but the whole crew was arrested and they
Speaker 1: would have been released. Right. Let's go to the phone line.
Speaker 1: Let's talk to the people. Hello, who's this hey, Denise?
Speaker 1: What are you calling the front? Georgia, Georgia, come on
Speaker 1: to mama by it. You know it's sad as a
Speaker 1: parent of true African American man, and we see this happened.
Speaker 1: I can in a Kim and a kids. If we
Speaker 1: don't stand up for something, we'll expect anything, right, absolutely right?
Speaker 1: What are you telling your boys? What are you What
Speaker 1: are you telling your young kings? Because I have two
Speaker 1: and I'm just being really honest with them. You know,
Speaker 1: I showed them the video just so they I haven't
Speaker 1: shown my six year old, but I showed my sixteen
Speaker 1: year old boy and my eighteen year old daughter just
Speaker 1: so they see what's going on and so they know
Speaker 1: what to prepare when they go out every day in
Speaker 1: this world. Now, you're right, You know my sons are grown.
Speaker 1: I have one in the military and one is a
Speaker 1: pony's officer, and I tell them each every day. I
Speaker 1: don't care where you are in the beginning of your life.
Speaker 1: You are an African American and you are male. Man.
Speaker 1: You gotta stand stronger than anybody else. You gotta be
Speaker 1: smart against health and you just gotta push through. But
Speaker 1: it's these days and time for you all at sure
Speaker 1: agents is different. And when we were glowing up, Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. And I know you calling from Joe,
Speaker 1: so you better not be out and about for with
Speaker 1: with with with coronavirus. And I know they opened up
Speaker 1: the state a little bit, but you better not be
Speaker 1: out and about. Oh I'm not. You have a good
Speaker 1: right to have a great weekend. Hello. Who's this Hi?
Speaker 1: I'm Charlotte Jones. Hey, Charlotte, what are you calling from?
Speaker 1: I'm in my Gumre, Alabama to me this morning. I'm
Speaker 1: doing well. How are you feeling out there? What's on
Speaker 1: your mind? I'm feeling I'm feeling great. I'm I just
Speaker 1: see you guys every more. And I just wanted to
Speaker 1: share a solution that I came up with that I
Speaker 1: think that all black Americans can be involved being right now.
Speaker 1: You know, I sit back and I looked at everything
Speaker 1: that's going on, and I see the protesting and I
Speaker 1: want to be there too. But and I'm mean, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure others Black Americans want to be there too,
Speaker 1: but everybody can't get up and go protest. I came
Speaker 1: up with a solution that everyone can taking advantage of it.
Speaker 1: No justice equals no shock um every Friday and satigy.
Speaker 1: I that idea from a mont Aubrey's taste. When it
Speaker 1: took us two bunch to sign out about his incident,
Speaker 1: I took two days of shoppers for that, and I
Speaker 1: think that Friday in Charity will be a great thing
Speaker 1: get Black Americans and taking advantage of that. And we
Speaker 1: need to shop with our own black businesses. On the
Speaker 1: other's day, I think taking our money out of the
Speaker 1: market is a way that we can get some solutions
Speaker 1: to these problems that we're having. You know, everybody is
Speaker 1: looking for a solution right now. That makes sense along
Speaker 1: with the protesting in so many other ways that you
Speaker 1: can address our racial injustices. We can also take our
Speaker 1: money that kind of the market too, and that's something
Speaker 1: that everybody can participate. You Yeah, and you know I
Speaker 1: agree with you. I agree with you when when we
Speaker 1: need to hold a lot of dollars, I think we
Speaker 1: need to start buying and investing in empowering more of
Speaker 1: our own I think we need to. You know, I've
Speaker 1: been big on the real estate to owning our own properties,
Speaker 1: investing in our own communities so we don't lose it.
Speaker 1: So I agree with you one hundred percent. But you know,
Speaker 1: as businesses, we need to make sure that we have
Speaker 1: more black banks that can actually lend the money. You know.
Speaker 1: The problem is is, you know, I'm a I'm a
Speaker 1: guy that invests a lot and a lot of times
Speaker 1: when I try to go to our own to get
Speaker 1: a lot of these loans, they just can't give it.
Speaker 1: They just don't have enough ones or enough leeway to
Speaker 1: actually give the loans that I would need to purchase,
Speaker 1: Like I purchased a school in New Jersey, and I
Speaker 1: purchased properties and buildings and and I try to keep
Speaker 1: it for ourselves, but a lot of times they don't.
Speaker 1: And we have to make sure that we can go
Speaker 1: to ourselves. You know, we talk all this about financial freedom,
Speaker 1: but if we still have to, you know, borrow money
Speaker 1: from not our own, it makes it difficult because now
Speaker 1: they're judging us. They can tell us, oh, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you this money or I can you know, and
Speaker 1: we need to make sure we, like you said, invest
Speaker 1: in our own. And thank you for calling. Okay, thank you? Hello?
Speaker 1: Who's this? You know, you know everywhere we listen is
Speaker 1: Tyler man? All you from? What's going on? What's going
Speaker 1: on in the shottown? Brother? Oh man? It's uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy that here, man. I mean, we're I
Speaker 1: guess starting the process to open their law, but everything
Speaker 1: is still shut down. I mean, it's like people are
Speaker 1: not thinking serious. Man in my community in particularly, but
Speaker 1: we see our my brother's sters not winping the mask,
Speaker 1: you know, when they're just walking around our side, and
Speaker 1: it's really annoying. It's just you know what you're saying. Right,
Speaker 1: But but I put it to you like this, right,
Speaker 1: because at first I was the same way. Yoh, you
Speaker 1: can't go out, you can't do this, but you gotta
Speaker 1: think about it like this, right. People need money, you know.
Speaker 1: They gotta pay for rent, they gotta pay for carnals,
Speaker 1: they gotta pay for food. They gotta pay for electricity,
Speaker 1: to telephone, cable, water and all that. And if I
Speaker 1: can't work and I can't go outside, I can't make
Speaker 1: the money to support my kids. You know, some people
Speaker 1: are lucky. They they're still working now, they're still making money.
Speaker 1: Some people are lucky they have savings, but some people don't,
Speaker 1: you know. So it's like they gotta open up the
Speaker 1: country and I get it. You know, we gotta just
Speaker 1: be extra careful. We gotta move careful with masks. You
Speaker 1: gotta wipe everything down. We gotta make sure that we
Speaker 1: protect our immune system. So I understand. You know, this
Speaker 1: goes on and we open back up. Now you know,
Speaker 1: we're having our brothers, you know, getting killed out here
Speaker 1: just as we start to open up just a little bit.
Speaker 1: All this crap all it now it's just called the
Speaker 1: just mass chaos standard. It's absolutely ridiculous and I hate this.
Speaker 1: I hate seeing like, yeah, I agree with you, I
Speaker 1: agree with you, And for myself, it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: how do we how do we raise how do we
Speaker 1: raise these kids? How do we raise our kids? You know? Profibly?
Speaker 1: Give the day for you learned to Charlotte bays Off. Yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: go ahead, bro, And look, man, I just wanted to
Speaker 1: give it out to Central Park Karen's own. Uh. You know,
Speaker 1: Andy Cooper definitely deserves arf you other day for how
Speaker 1: she was treated and absolutely just you know, followed reports,
Speaker 1: you know, using his black lip as a crime and
Speaker 1: a weapon again to knowing that that would be something
Speaker 1: that actually ultimately can hurt him. So she definitely the
Speaker 1: ss off you O the thing for that. I'm glad
Speaker 1: she was fired. She was getting rid of the hall somebody.
Speaker 1: But yeah, man, that absolutely yeah, I'm glad she was fired,
Speaker 1: and I'm glad they took her dog away from her.
Speaker 1: But thank you for calling brother. All right, I think
Speaker 1: Charlotte May would respect that donkey. I think he might
Speaker 1: have gave a donkey too, but I can't remember. But anyway,
Speaker 1: eight hundred five eight five one on five one. We're
Speaker 1: just taking your calls. Man, I just want to hear
Speaker 1: your thoughts. It's the Breakfast Club. Go morning, DJ, Envy,

Speaker 1: who's this? Good morning? Envy? This can Hey? Where you
Speaker 1: calling from? South Carolina, Columbia? All right, what's on your
Speaker 1: mom Mama? It's real heavy today, you know, Like I'm
Speaker 1: I'm like really pissed on, to say the least. It's
Speaker 1: just exhausting being black nowadays. And I mean, I feel
Speaker 1: like we watched this man's life leave his body all together,
Speaker 1: and for the DA to say that he has more
Speaker 1: evidence that's coming that doesn't support a criminal charge, it's
Speaker 1: just it's like you're playing in our face at this point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's so difficult and so hard, and like
Speaker 1: when I say, I feel like my soul was taking
Speaker 1: out my body. It's I watched the men die, and
Speaker 1: I'm upset that I watched it because that's something that's
Speaker 1: all on my it's on my mind. I see that
Speaker 1: officer's face, that devil's face, just kneeling on his neck
Speaker 1: and just looking like and what your arm comfortably in
Speaker 1: your pocket, like that that person isn't resisting, and the
Speaker 1: fact that you had two other officers on the side
Speaker 1: of the sub holding him down, Like what are we
Speaker 1: waiting for? It's like you guys are they're piscing on
Speaker 1: our head and telling us it's not right. That's exactly
Speaker 1: what they're doing. That's exactly what they're doing. And like
Speaker 1: I said, it's it's it's where do we go from here?
Speaker 1: It's like like it's it's no respect for life, like
Speaker 1: you kill listen and be like, oh well, I don't
Speaker 1: think there's enough evidence. And we're sitting here looking like, bro,
Speaker 1: you don't see the same video we're watching. Is there
Speaker 1: a different video that maybe you got the wrong video?
Speaker 1: They send you the wrong video, Like it just doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense. It doesn't. And the President like, he just
Speaker 1: showed us how easy it is for him to sign
Speaker 1: an executive order if he's passionate enough about the subject matter.
Speaker 1: But it's kind of pathetic that you're more passionate about
Speaker 1: being fact checked on social media versus being passionate about
Speaker 1: some sort of initiatives to hold these police officers accountable.
Speaker 1: I just terminate an employment. That's not enough. Is that crazy? Though?
Speaker 1: From the higher coronavirus COVID nineteen, police brutality, all that
Speaker 1: going on in the world, and you're more concerned with
Speaker 1: them fact checking you, Like, isn't that crazy? That's so narcissistic,
Speaker 1: Like you're worried about somebody telling you that you're telling
Speaker 1: a lie. I just can't man. Thank thank you so much, Mama,
Speaker 1: and trying to have a great weekend. I will you

Speaker 1: these cops. It's very sad when your president says, when
Speaker 1: they start looting, we start shooting. Well, let me get
Speaker 1: the proper quote, because he's the type that a definitely
Speaker 1: get me on my taxes if I say something wrong.

Speaker 1: because they are black. They're tired of and found guilty
Speaker 1: just because they're black. They're tired of white people saying
Speaker 1: you know, they're tired of white people being able to say, hey,

Speaker 1: and I'm talking twopoc changes, fight the Power, you know,
Speaker 1: those type of records. Let's get that all. Let me
Speaker 1: know what you want to hear. I got you as
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: We got a special guest on the line today, my
Speaker 1: brother Caesar, what's up season, It's gonna good morning, good morning,
Speaker 1: good morning. You up early today? Huh every day, every day,
Speaker 1: every day, so all week long, you know, while I've
Speaker 1: been holding down to breakfast club. Angelie and Charlomagne are
Speaker 1: on vacation. I just wanted to do some financial literacy
Speaker 1: to try to help people get to generational wealth. So
Speaker 1: the other day we had matt On and matt with
Speaker 1: telling people how they can get grants to help them
Speaker 1: with their down payments and telling them about the low
Speaker 1: interest rates. And we had the credit dude called up
Speaker 1: Jose who was telling people about, you know, fixing their
Speaker 1: credit during this time and what they needed to do.
Speaker 1: Now with you, I wanted to talk to you know
Speaker 1: how you started, because a lot of people feel like
Speaker 1: to get into the real estate game, you need a
Speaker 1: lot of money. You know, a lot of people don't
Speaker 1: know that your dad was actually a taxi car, a
Speaker 1: taxi gab driver, that you are locked up for a
Speaker 1: little bit and when you got out, you didn't really
Speaker 1: have much money, and you got into real estate. And
Speaker 1: this was kind of the time when you got into
Speaker 1: real estate, when everybody was running away, you jumped in.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that a little bit, how you
Speaker 1: got into the real estate game and how that time
Speaker 1: reminds you of this time. But when I first got
Speaker 1: I got into real estate back in I want to say,
Speaker 1: oh eight, So that's pretty much when everybody was running
Speaker 1: away from real estate. So it's kind of funny because
Speaker 1: right now a lot of people are scared to invest
Speaker 1: in real estate, right, but it's not as serious as
Speaker 1: back then. Back then, it was just a total crash.
Speaker 1: You know, nobody wanted to invest. It was almost impossible
Speaker 1: to get a loan. I had no money when I
Speaker 1: first started. You know, I had to borrow money for
Speaker 1: my first deal, sold our car, you know, paun Gen's
Speaker 1: engagement ring, got rid of my chain, you know, whatever
Speaker 1: we had to do to get that first deal going.
Speaker 1: And it was a time where banks weren't really lending even,
Speaker 1: you know, even to get a hard money loan. Back then,
Speaker 1: it was almost impossible if we didn't have a track record,
Speaker 1: because everybody was losing money, right And I just jumped
Speaker 1: in and I did my first deal. I made seventy thousand,
Speaker 1: and I kept on going since then, fourteen years later, Now,
Speaker 1: with your first deal, how much if you paid for
Speaker 1: your first property back then. It was a three family home,
Speaker 1: and I believe I got it for damn that was
Speaker 1: cheap fifty thousand, fifty fifty. But you actually lived in
Speaker 1: one of the unit's correct, Uh No, you didn't leave
Speaker 1: in that No. I had the first property ever about
Speaker 1: was a two family right, just like everybody else, I
Speaker 1: bought it at the height of the market. So I
Speaker 1: actually bought that property before I was going into prison,
Speaker 1: because that's when jan had come out pregnant and we
Speaker 1: always said, you know, we want our own house. So
Speaker 1: that's that was the crazy days when you had those
Speaker 1: stated loans back then. So just like everybody else, I
Speaker 1: messed up. I paid four hundred thousand dollars for a house.
Speaker 1: My interest rate back then was eight percent, which is
Speaker 1: crazy when you think about that now when rates like
Speaker 1: three percent right now, right, But that's when I started
Speaker 1: with an eight percent rate. I couldn't afford the house
Speaker 1: that I bought. It was based on my credit and
Speaker 1: that was the first property that I bought, and I
Speaker 1: ended up losing the house to foreclosure for closure, And
Speaker 1: then when you figured it out, you were able to
Speaker 1: buy a three family house that had more than for
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars where it was able to help you
Speaker 1: make money. Yeah, because you know, like back then it
Speaker 1: was kind of crazy. Man, you used to buy a house, right,
Speaker 1: Like the way things were set up, You buy a
Speaker 1: house today and you would refinance and cash out tomorrow, right, right.
Speaker 1: So I bought this house that wasn't worth what I
Speaker 1: was paying for it. And it's funny because then after
Speaker 1: I lost that house and ended up selling, somebody bought
Speaker 1: it as a foreclosure for like a buck fifty wow. Wow.
Speaker 1: So we're talking this season, we're talking about his first deal.
Speaker 1: The reason I'm bringing everybody up to talk about generation
Speaker 1: of wealth and getting in the real estate is because
Speaker 1: this is a perfect time. I tell people that need
Speaker 1: to plan what to do outside of this pandemic when
Speaker 1: this pandemic is over, and right now real estate, it
Speaker 1: looks like you can get a great deal right now
Speaker 1: in real estate, it's not too saturated. People are not
Speaker 1: bidding like crazy, So people can actually get a great
Speaker 1: property two family or three family that might not be
Speaker 1: crazy in price, depending where you're living or where you're
Speaker 1: looking correct, Well, it all depends, man. You know, the
Speaker 1: last three months, things got a little bit slower, right,
Speaker 1: besides the fact that you know, you can refinance and
Speaker 1: get a great rate. So things are a little slower.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna be honest with you, things are picking
Speaker 1: up already more right, the markets getting busy already. Like
Speaker 1: you know, you might still find a buyer that might
Speaker 1: be a little desperate and you know that they're still
Speaker 1: kind of worried about what's gonna happen, and you could
Speaker 1: probably get a better deal. But it's not gonna be nothing. Crazy, man,
Speaker 1: Once the buyers come out in the next couple of
Speaker 1: weeks and everybody feels comfortable and buyers season finally starts,
Speaker 1: b it's gonna go crazy. It's gonna go crazy the
Speaker 1: last year because there's no inventory and rates are even lower.
Speaker 1: You know, you're talking about last year. You were talking
Speaker 1: about a three point seven five rate, which is still
Speaker 1: low as hell, right, the average back then. Now you're
Speaker 1: talking about the way that the market is fluctuating. You
Speaker 1: talking about two point seven five till you know, three percent,
Speaker 1: So that means on a five hundred thousand loll a
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dolls loan, let's just say rate rot
Speaker 1: wise he talking, you know, just averaging out. You talking
Speaker 1: about fifteen hundred bucks. That's a lot of money from
Speaker 1: up yet. Now, Also, you know when we and they're
Speaker 1: talking about investing in real estate, what's the first step
Speaker 1: people should take? That's the first question all the time.
Speaker 1: What is the first thing somebody should do when they
Speaker 1: run to purchase a property or invest in real estate?
Speaker 1: The first thing you want to do is make sure
Speaker 1: you're qualified. Right, You gotta make sure your credit's right.
Speaker 1: Number one. Your credit has to be right. If you
Speaker 1: have bad credit, you're not gonna get anywhere. You might
Speaker 1: be able to get a hard money loan. Some lenders
Speaker 1: might let you slide with back credit and a hard
Speaker 1: money loan. They used to a lot more, but right
Speaker 1: now because of the pandemic, probably not. So your credit
Speaker 1: gotta be tight. They're out there, your credit is tight.
Speaker 1: You gotta make sure you're pre approved and make sure
Speaker 1: you qualify for that house. Now, for most people out there,
Speaker 1: that pre approving means finding a lender that you go,
Speaker 1: you fill out the application for them. You see that
Speaker 1: based off of your salary, based off of your credit,
Speaker 1: what you can what you can pay for, and then
Speaker 1: from there, that's when you start going to look for
Speaker 1: the profit and for people out there that maybe say,
Speaker 1: you know what, I can't afford New York, I can't
Speaker 1: afford New Jersey. What's some areas that people can go
Speaker 1: to where property prices are a lot cheaper, but they
Speaker 1: might be able to get a great deal, Like you know,
Speaker 1: we always talk about, you know, Detroit where I was
Speaker 1: able to pick up properties for fifteen to twenty thousand
Speaker 1: and twenty five thousand. Are there any other you know,
Speaker 1: criticises like that that people that you would about people
Speaker 1: to check out? You know, I like Chicago. I think
Speaker 1: Chicago is a great market. I think Chicago is probably
Speaker 1: where Patterson or new Ark or you know, Jersey areas
Speaker 1: were about five to ten years ago, or you still
Speaker 1: have a great opportunity to go buy a three family
Speaker 1: over their multifamily or even a flip. It's a great
Speaker 1: market for flipping and to hold long term. I'm compared
Speaker 1: to Detroit, I like it a little bit better, right,
Speaker 1: And I like it better than of course then Ohio
Speaker 1: because their rents are higher. So their rents are probably
Speaker 1: around a thousand dollars to twelve hundred, which is pretty good.
Speaker 1: So you know, like when I first started. You know,
Speaker 1: I had to pull teeth to get a thousand dollars
Speaker 1: in a three bedroom in my area and North Jersey.
Speaker 1: Now we're getting almost eighteen hundred dollars. So eventually rents
Speaker 1: go up. So to be at that price point where
Speaker 1: their rents already a thousand and twelve hundred, it's a
Speaker 1: great way to start. You go over there, you get
Speaker 1: a three family for let's say one hundred thousand, you
Speaker 1: probably make about thirty six hundred and four thousand a month,
Speaker 1: but three percent rate, you're pasted one like crazy. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I know Chicago, we say parts of Atlantic City.
Speaker 1: I think Atlantic City Wall like, you're walking to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: I was talking about mcconquering early this week about Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: She was like, if you're going to Pittsburgh, you might
Speaker 1: be a little too late, because Pittsburgh was one of
Speaker 1: those markets like two years ago that you needed to touch.
Speaker 1: So now this Sunday, we're doing a webinar, most webinar
Speaker 1: where we're actually gonna be breaking down a lot of
Speaker 1: the stuff that we're talking about. So many people have
Speaker 1: asked us to come to their cities, but of course
Speaker 1: we can't travel, so hopefully we're traveling again soon. You
Speaker 1: see they opening up Disney, well, I know Universal already's
Speaker 1: open up. They announced Disney already Disney up next week.
Speaker 1: Oh that's that's dope. Once they open up Disney, I
Speaker 1: think the world. So we just need one sports, yeah,
Speaker 1: the baseball to open back up of basketball, and that
Speaker 1: means we're good. That means were good. But I appreciate
Speaker 1: you for calling in and again if you want more
Speaker 1: information on the webinar that we're doing well, we're gonna
Speaker 1: be breaking all this down. We have a credit guy,
Speaker 1: we have a whole sale up, we have mortgage guys.
Speaker 1: We're gonna just be talking. You're trying to help people. Um,
Speaker 1: I said, just think about it. Let's say, if you're
Speaker 1: out there renting right now, you know there's grants right
Speaker 1: now where they will actually give you you the down
Speaker 1: payment for your house. So the same amount of money
Speaker 1: that you're using to rent you can be used and
Speaker 1: you can actually own something and have equity in it.
Speaker 1: So if you ever have a problem, you can pull
Speaker 1: that equity out and use it for your college, your
Speaker 1: kids college tuition, you can use it for whatever you need,
Speaker 1: you know. So I'm just telling you just think about it,
Speaker 1: look into it and good luck man, and I appreciate
Speaker 1: you for checking in season all right, he flipping NJ.
