What 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.279 y'all earn it? Exacting the coach shore week up in 0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.079 the morning in hday want to hit us, but the 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:35.080 world's most dangerous morning show, Good morning you s a listen, guys, 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:40.239 it's Angela yee, It's the Breakfast Club. I am actually 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.199 doing my show from home this morning because they did 0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.400 stay to stay up the roads unless it was an emergency. 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.559 I know Charlomagne and Nvy are driving in, but it's 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.600 a little bit rough out there. We actually had flash 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.279 floods here in the New York City and the New 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:57.200 Jersey area was a state of emergency that was effective immediately, 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.480 all in response to Tropical Storm Ida. So personally on 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:06.600 my block, it was completely flooded. The basement's flooded, roof. 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:08.600 There's a couple of weeks, but I want to say 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:12.640 we're very fortunate that it's not worse than than that, 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:14.000 but we're not used to this. This is the first 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.160 time they've ever had to issue a flash flood morning 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:20.319 here in New York City, so this has never happened. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.760 The subways were closed from last night, but we'll give 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:26.080 you all that information this morning. There is all kinds 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.080 of damage. People have died. They said about eighty thousand 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:32.199 customers in New Jersey have lost power. Fifty three hundred 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.920 people in New York have lost power. So everybody, if 0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:37.800 you're out, if you're getting up, you're getting ready to 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.280 go somewhere, please reconsider. I know there's a lot of 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:43.720 cars that are abandoned on the streets. I know New 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.759 Orleans is still having issues. I know Louisiana in general 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:48.840 is still having issues. I know people who've had to drive, 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.920 you know, over an hour to get gas and drive 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.400 to another city. So right now it feels like global 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.640 warming issues. Guys, all right, but we have let me 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:02.800 see was coming on the show this morning. Who're doing 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:07.120 because y'all know just usually Envy's part. Oh, Malcolm Mays. Yes, 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.360 Malcolm Mays is gonna be on this show this morning. 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.799 He's extraordinary as far as being a writer. He also 0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:17.280 is an actor. You know him from being on Snowfall, 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.919 you know him from right now, he's on Raising Canaan. 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:25.080 On Stars he plays Lulu, and then he's also has 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.360 several movies that he's working on and that he's writing. 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.120 So we're gonna discuss all that this morning. But he 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:33.320 has a fascinating life. He is from la and his 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:37.280 uncle is actually two ky So we'll talk about all 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.239 of that when he comes through this morning. But next 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:42.040 up we do have Front Page News, and after that 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.120 we have a you know, get it off your chest. 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:45.280 So I know a lot of people are gonna want 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.280 to call him this morning talking about their own experience. 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.520 Is about what's going on again. Look, I know I 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:53.400 posted like what my block was looking like, and I 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:55.880 saw some people being like, all right, y'all, we used 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.520 to it here, but you know, we're not used to 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.920 this in New York. But I do always feel like 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.880 we have empathy when this happens in other places. Right 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.720 now is really bad and other states and in other cities. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.799 So let's all just make sure we support each other 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:12.359 right in this time. All right, So next up Front 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.080 Page News, we'll be telling you more about what's been 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.480 happening with these heavy floods, with this tropical storm. And 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:21.960 it's the Breakfast Club. It's the breakfast Club. It's the Thursday. 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.359 I'm precedented things happening. I'm Angela Yee. Charlomagne and V 0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:28.239 are on their way into work. They did say to 0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:29.880 stay up the road. I got up this morning and 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.480 thought about going into work, and then I was watching 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.160 the news and seeing all these cars that have been 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:37.040 stuck places and all this flooding going on, and I said, 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.440 you know what, let's set up this equipment. So in 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:41.960 New York and New Jersey, they have declared emergencies. At 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.000 least nine people have been reported dead and the record rains. 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.960 According to New York Governor Kathy Hokl, she said, I'm 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:49.840 declaring a state of emergency to help New York is 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.080 affected by tonight's storm. The New York City Mayor Build 0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:55.560 de Blajio described the flooding and weather as a historic 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:58.640 weather event. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.040 of emergency in New York City. This is the first 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.200 time in history that this has happened. At least one 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.600 person was killed as a flooding was in New Jersey 0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:10.400 in Passaic. NBC New York reported one more person died 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.480 in New Jersey and seven died in New York City, 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.960 which included a two year old boy, according to local media, 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.279 They reported that people had been trapped in their basements 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.960 as the storm sent waters surging throughout the city. So 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.000 they had told people you had to stay off the streets, 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.360 they said until five am. All non emergency vehicles were 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.680 banned from New York City streets because of the weather. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:32.520 They said, please let these emergency vehicles get through and 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.080 be able to do their job and help people. Nearly 0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:38.040 all New York City subway lines were suspended late yesterday 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.760 as the remnants of Ida brought to rental rain and 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:46.119 the thread of flash fledged and tornadoes. Even so, everybody, please, 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:49.640 if you're out there, be safe. Flights were suspended. I 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.200 know some people who were on flights. I saw my girl, 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.479 Summer Walker, was on a flight and she was waiting 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:59.000 to take off, and then they ended up just canceling 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:01.719 the flight and a RISCA mesuling it for this morning. Now. 0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:03.920 Four people that were killed in New York City were 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.279 trapped in their basement as the storm sent water rushing 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.240 throughout the city and really unfortunate situation. A sixty six 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.200 year old man in Brooklyn was discovered dead in the 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.719 basement of his apartment this morning around twelve thirty five am. 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:18.560 A woman in her forties was found dead in her 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:23.080 apartment on Grandsonshi Parkway as well. So Trenton police officers 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.080 also have issue. But they were going door to door 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.040 last night checking on residents, encouraging people to leave their homes. 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:33.400 But it's a mandatory evacuation in Trenton, New Jersey, So 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:38.280 everybody please, like I said, let's be safe, you guys. 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.559 And also let's talk about unvaccinated players. For the Nets, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.280 the Knicks, and the Warriors, they will not be allowed 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.280 in their home arenas if they haven't received that vaccine. 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:52.000 That's also due to local regulations. In New York and 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:56.279 San Francisco, unvaccinated players have been banned from entering their 0:05:56.320 --> 0:06:00.200 respective arenas, and visiting players who aren't vaccinated, however, will 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.000 be allowed to play. So for those visiting players, they 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.080 don't face the same standards as home players. That doesn't 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.240 make any sense to me, because if the regulations are 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.120 you can't come into these events without being vaccinated. I 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:12.680 don't think other players should be allowed to do it 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.880 if they're forcing the home staff to do it, but 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.400 coaches and teams and arena staff will interact with players 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.320 and reps are also required to be vaccinated as well. 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:24.159 As we've told you guys previously. I hear someone coming 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:31.480 in that be all right, yeah, you hear me. He's 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:36.400 he's on his way into How is it? How is 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.200 it driving into work? I mean, I know, I know, 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.080 we naturally syndicated. What I was fine leaving Jersey is 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.880 when I got to New York on the West Side Highway, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.880 I guess a tree or something that fell, and I 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.240 think it just fell because there was no like police 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:51.920 or anything on the scene. And I just saw all 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.039 the cards that were involved in the wreck because of 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:57.320 the tree falling. So I mean, yeah, but other than 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.919 the West Side, it was cool. Yeah. Well, this is 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.080 never happened before in New York City. A flash flood 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:07.080 emergency warning, so this is unprecedented. Are actually actually the 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:12.080 juice bar that we own is completely flooded in the basement? Wow, 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.960 Like yeah, it's bad. The subways are flooded. They shut 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.440 down the subway systems. This has never happened here before. 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.080 I was outside, like, I don't recall it ever being 0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.000 as bad, and my whole block was flooded. It's dangerous 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.880 for people whose cars are underneath the water. So we'll 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:28.840 see what the remnants of all this will be, even 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:30.760 though it's not raining anymore right now. But that is 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.000 your front page news, so right now you can get 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:34.680 it off your chest.

And it's crazy because I 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.280 read a room in the basement and I'm just literally 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.240 sitting on my bed and I couldn't move. I really 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:14.760 really couldn't move my cutting it off my bad. I 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.600 didn't want to set my foot in the water.

I'm moved he a 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.000 couple of months ago from Charlotte, and it's been terrible, 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:04.120 like I've been discriminating again, like I've been almost bit on, 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.680 like it's crazy, like, um, I don't know what to do, 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.319 like and I know that you guys are big business 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.600 on like entrepreneurs and like mental health, and I just 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:17.520 really need some advice. Okay, you see, you need some 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.040 advice on what exactly he's saying that they treat him 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.040 a little crazy. They're very racist, and he's coming, he's 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:24.680 coming from up top and he just needs some advice 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:26.920 because he's going through it. Well, I can recommend you 0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.680 a good, a great book. You know, there's a book 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:33.760 called My Grandmother's Hands by Resimementic him and you know, 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:36.600 he talks about exactly that. He talks about the trauma 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.240 that you know, black people have experienced because of racism 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.280 in America. I mean that's a start, and it's a 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:43.240 lot of practices in the book that you can do 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.680 with the end of the chapter, like breathing exercises and 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.200 things like that to get you back to center.

Well, Ninie Leaks 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:11.760 has her husband, Greg Leaks has passed away. He was 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:15.520 sixty six years old. They've been married since nineteen ninety seven. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.000 He died of colon cancer and she had previously explained 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.640 that he was transitioning to the other side. Her publicist 0:16:22.640 --> 0:16:24.920 and family friend, Ernest Dukes, made the announcement today. The 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:27.120 Leakes family is in deep pain with a broken heart 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:30.200 after a long badway cancer. Greg Leaks has passed away 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.160 peacefully in his home, surrounded by all of his children, 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.760 very close loved ones, and the wife Ninie Leaks. We 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:37.600 asked that you pray for peace and strength over their 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:40.520 family and allow them to mourn in private during this 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.720 very difficult time. Man sending Ninie Leaks and her whole 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.720 family healing energy, resting piece to the brother Greg. I 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.480 was just talking to a doctor about when to get 0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:50.880 a colonoscopy, and she told me of forty five used 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:52.600 to be fifty, but now it's forty five. And if 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.880 you have history in your family, they said even as 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.800 early as thirty five. Yeah, condolens is definitely to the family. 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:00.840 They shared that he had been diagnosed calling cancer back 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.880 in twenty eighteen and then he was in remission the 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.560 following year, but unfortunately that did not last long and 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:10.320 she revealed in June that the cancer had returned and 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:13.320 that he had undergone surgery. She said on the Jasmine 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.560 Brand that it was he had gotten super small and 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.440 that things have just been different. It's definitely sending a 0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:21.480 healing energy. Man, go go go get checked. If you 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.199 if you're around that age where you need to go 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:28.040 get a colonoscopy, go get one. All r right now. 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.199 Dog the Bounty Hunter has done an interview and he 0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:34.560 talked to Entertainment Tonight's Kevin Frasier. Some of the things 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:38.040 that he discussed was, if you guys recall there was video. 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.760 There was audiotaped phone call with his son where he 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.800 was using the N where to use it over six 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:45.720 times during that call. It was made public and the 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.920 National Inquirer back in two thousand and seven. And here's 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:51.159 what he said about using the N word. I have 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.160 never been a racist. I'm thirty three and a half 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.560 percent of patchy, but because of over fifteen years ago, 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.639 I have an achilles heel because I used the wrong word. 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.560 Why were you using that word so freely? Well, I 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.760 thought I had a pass in the black tribe to 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.640 use it, kind of like Eminem. He asked the brothers. 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.760 Who were the brothers I had just gotten out of 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.360 prison in nineteen seventy nine after spending time in eighteen 0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.640 months in Texas, and it was probably three quarters from 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:22.040 the black tribe. So that was a word that we 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:26.760 used back and forth as maybe a compliment. He makes 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:28.720 it seem like the Brothers are like an administration, Like 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:30.959 it's an administration of black people who make all the 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:35.000 rules and codes of conduct for black people. Well, here's 0:18:35.040 --> 0:18:37.480 why he really thought he was able to use that word. 0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.920 My past expired for using it. But no one told 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.119 me that to say a racist name doesn't qualify to 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.879 make you a racist. If you use that word, you 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.000 use it in your regular, everyday life, it makes you 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:52.080 a racist. I have more black friends than Eminem that 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.280 I have lots of black friends, so that should make 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.560 me okay with black people. Why keep doing Eminem? Under 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:00.879 the bush. Yeah, and does not have a path to 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:02.920 use the N word. There's no white person who has 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.080 a path to use the N word in any context. 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.480 But this is absolutely why we might have We got 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.359 to stop using this word. I'd be trying not to 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.000 use it, you know what I mean. But I never 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:12.760 use it as a term of endemic. It's a low 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:14.560 vibration of the word, and when I use it, it's 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:18.200 in a negative context. All right now. He also had 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:22.000 had accusations of being homophobic, and here's how he responds 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:26.320 to those accusations. She's been fed what to say. I 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:28.240 have three people that are on my staff that are 0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:33.119 gay man, my daughter's gay baby, Lisa. I don't understand 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:37.440 why anybody would ever say that. I hear what you're saying. Remember, 0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:42.959 proximity does not mean that you're not racist and homophobic. 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:45.440 Would I die for a gay man or a black man? 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:49.080 I'd laid down my life. I will lay down on 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:52.640 my stomach for a gay black man. Yeah, I mean, 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.359 he doesn't even know. Sounds to me like Dog the 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.119 bounty hunter might need to go back to rehab. He 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:02.000 sounds like he's still on drugs. Okay, But I'm sending 0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:04.800 him healing energy lord having merchant. That was very jamad. 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.760 I would blade down my lay on my stomach for 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.520 a gay black man. Listen when when when he used 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.639 the N word originally? What context was it in? I 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:14.800 don't I remember this, but I never listened to it. 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:17.840 He was on the phone with his son and they 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.679 were having an argument and the sudden recorded it. You know, 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:23.360 I guess. I mean, I can't see who else could 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:25.000 have put it out these people kids, because he said 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:28.120 he was speaking out of anger, and so I don't 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:30.400 know it was it wasn't a good thing. These people 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.840 kids are crazy because he makes it sound like he's uh, 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.480 he was saying it at a term of endearment, you 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:37.439 know what I mean. But that's what I'm saying. So 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:38.760 it sounds to me like you were seeing it as 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:42.040
