Speaker 1: nothing to the collection plate that was going around, did
Speaker 1: you see. Okay, all right, let's get the show cracking
Speaker 1: front page news. What we're talking about, Well, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: is speaking out. He was in Philly yesterday morning, and
Speaker 1: he was talking about Donald Trump's response to George Floyd
Speaker 1: protests and some of his own plans. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get into that next. Keep it locked. This to breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela, Ye, Charlomagne
Speaker 1: the guy. We all the breakfast Club. Let's get in
Speaker 1: some front page news. Where were starting you? Well, yesterday
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was speaking from Philadelphia's City Hall and he
Speaker 1: was talking about a bunch of different things. One thing
Speaker 1: he discussed was how racism has to come to an
Speaker 1: end in this division. Here's what he said. I can't
Speaker 1: leave this moment thinking that we can once again turn
Speaker 1: away and do nothing. The moment has come for our
Speaker 1: nation to deal with systemic racism, to deal with the
Speaker 1: growing economic inequity that exists in our nation, to deal
Speaker 1: with the denial of the promise of this nation. But
Speaker 1: it's going to take more than talk. In addition, he
Speaker 1: talks about it. In addition, he talks about police reform.
Speaker 1: Here's what Joe Biden had to say about that a
Speaker 1: down payment on what is long overdo should come now,
Speaker 1: should come immediately. I call on the Congress to Act
Speaker 1: this month. Our measures that will be the first step
Speaker 1: in this direction, starting with real police reform. Congressman Jefferies
Speaker 1: has a bill to outlaw chokeholes. There are other measures
Speaker 1: stop transferring weapons of war the police forces, improve over
Speaker 1: shutting accountability, to create a model use of force standard.
Speaker 1: Looking ahead in the first one hundred days of my presidency,
Speaker 1: I've committed to creating a National Police overstut Commission. I've
Speaker 1: long believe we need real community police. We all need
Speaker 1: to take a hard look at the culture allows for
Speaker 1: the senseless tragedies to keep happening. I'll be honest. Let
Speaker 1: me stop him game that's gonna say. I'll be honest,
Speaker 1: Like that's what he's supposed to say, Like he is
Speaker 1: supposed to say that. Like do we think any differently?
Speaker 1: Would he get up there and say anything else but that? Now,
Speaker 1: I just pray the guy that if when he wins
Speaker 1: the presidency, he follows through with everything that he says, Well, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's not about winning the presidency. It's about getting him
Speaker 1: to make those policy commitments publicly. Now, Okay, I watched
Speaker 1: it yesterday. It was good. You know, he's talking the
Speaker 1: way he needs to talk. He's talking about this mantle
Speaker 1: and systemic racism. He's talking about investing in the black
Speaker 1: community through legislation and economic justice. Listen, if President Barack
Speaker 1: Obama was JFK, Joe Biden has the opportunity to be
Speaker 1: Lendon B. Johnson. He has the opportunity to be justice
Speaker 1: progressive on race and class as LBJ was, and he
Speaker 1: better because they ain't no good gonna come to become
Speaker 1: to America until he'd be right by the black community. Period. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, well here's here's what he had to say
Speaker 1: about economic justice yesterday. In order that true American justice,
Speaker 1: we need economic justice as well as a media step.
Speaker 1: Congress should act now to rectify racial inequities, to allow
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen recovery funds to be diverted from where they live.
Speaker 1: I'll be sending forth my general and economic justice and
Speaker 1: opportunity in the weeks and months ahead, but it begins
Speaker 1: with healthcare. Listen, man, America has to to office for
Speaker 1: its original sin, which your slavery. That's the only way
Speaker 1: this nation will ever heal. And the only way to
Speaker 1: heal racial inequities is legislation and reparation. So Joe go
Speaker 1: ahead and announce your black woman renime. You already committed
Speaker 1: to a black woman on the Supreme Court. That'll be
Speaker 1: your Lendon B. Johnson third good Marshal moment. And lean
Speaker 1: into this black agenda, lean into this police reform, provide
Speaker 1: this economic justice for the black community, and go out
Speaker 1: there and try to bring this thing home in November.
Speaker 1: Because if Joe Biden did sweep off seven presidential primaries yesterday,
Speaker 1: not a surprise at all because there's nobody that's really
Speaker 1: actively imposing him. Yeah, so it's not a surprise at all.
Speaker 1: But those are the results. I'm in Ferguson also elected
Speaker 1: their first black mayor, So that happened in Ferguson, and
Speaker 1: obviously that's something I think that's a really positive thing
Speaker 1: in Ferguson. So shout out to them. Ella Jones took
Speaker 1: fifty four percent of the vote in that race. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm angela. Yeah, And that is your front page news,
Speaker 1: all right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five
Speaker 1: eight five one O five one. If you're upset, you
Speaker 1: need to hit us up right now. Again. The number
Speaker 1: is eight hundred five eight five one five one is
Speaker 1: the breakfast Club, Good morning, the breakfast Club. I'm telling
Speaker 1: I'm telling her. What's you doing, Holly? This is your
Speaker 1: time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad
Speaker 1: or blessed. Eight hundred five five one five one. We
Speaker 1: want to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello.
Speaker 1: Who's this? This is Yannick. Hey, what's up? Broke? Get
Speaker 1: it off your chest? Hey, hes Envy, Angelie and Charlomagne.
Speaker 1: Big up, big up you guys every day? Um please can't. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is just a guy looking at guy looking in
Speaker 1: They the best way the player game is watched from
Speaker 1: the stands, right, So this is what I would really
Speaker 1: want to happen in America within the next couple of years.
Speaker 1: You can correct me if I'm wrong anyway I say
Speaker 1: something wrong. So this is it. So I hear that
Speaker 1: Native American Indians they get something like morney every month
Speaker 1: from government, just right, that reparation money. Is that true?
Speaker 1: I don't know that something suck something something to that effect. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I mean South Smarta right now. So I
Speaker 1: know that the terminals they get they get a check
Speaker 1: every month. I mean by the way that they're like, yo,
Speaker 1: I was so like when you come to this country,
Speaker 1: get yourself a seminal girl, because you'll be banking all month,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, so that's what that's what I heard.
Speaker 1: But but what I was saying is I think the
Speaker 1: best way to get rid of um what's happening in America,
Speaker 1: well racism. You really can't change with protests in our
Speaker 1: looting because you gets throwing all these people who are
Speaker 1: like born in racism. I should live in South Carolina.
Speaker 1: So is a place called aching, and aching got some
Speaker 1: got some places really, you know, so some people who
Speaker 1: are just racismist part So some people just will never
Speaker 1: change no matter how much you loose to our protests.
Speaker 1: What I think should happen is like you should once
Speaker 1: you have like a business plan as a black person,
Speaker 1: a solid business plan, the government should put into place
Speaker 1: something where you the only qualification you need for granting
Speaker 1: to get your business off the girl is us being.
Speaker 1: That's just that reparation I would love to see, because
Speaker 1: if you have a tide business man, you walk into
Speaker 1: that building, you walk on with checks to purchase it.
Speaker 1: If you want to be a big up, you had
Speaker 1: to check to purchase up the oven and and all
Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. And then black people got to realize,
Speaker 1: like in Jewish communities, you got people who want to
Speaker 1: come to the Jewish community and it never leaves. So
Speaker 1: like black people to support black businesses. Funnily, like I
Speaker 1: said to me, I said to my friend the other day,
Speaker 1: if every NBA player and anybody everybody in the hair
Speaker 1: that's black decide to let us leave, ain't nobody watching,
Speaker 1: no NFL, nothing more white players, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So it's like I'm saying what what I want a
Speaker 1: printing to do soon is like, you need black people
Speaker 1: to create black businesses the only qualification. You know what
Speaker 1: I want? You know what I want right now? Aw
Speaker 1: some goddamn acting and selfish right now. I don't know
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, craving Aki and Soffice. I started
Speaker 1: craving Aki and soffice so bad. Just now, man, y
Speaker 1: ain't hundred firs Maki and so Offfice right now, get
Speaker 1: it off your chests eight hundred five A five one
Speaker 1: on five one. If you need to vent hit this
Speaker 1: up now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast club.
Speaker 1: This is your time to get it off your chest.
Speaker 1: Whether you're man black, than from you on the breakfast club.
Speaker 1: If you got something on your mind, lea, Hello, who's
Speaker 1: this Jay? Do you know if her chests? Bro Hey,
Speaker 1: good morning miss ye and umm dj n vy here
Speaker 1: Every morning I listened to Charlemagne with his commentary about
Speaker 1: black recreations along with his uh need for a black
Speaker 1: female vice president. Reckless commentaries like that come him and
Speaker 1: people like Sharon Collins. It's going to allow Trump to
Speaker 1: walk right into the white album. What benefits for the
Speaker 1: for the black population happen is like we're having now.
Speaker 1: He believes that every Brent truck should run into the
Speaker 1: front of every black household and dump a bag of money.
Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen, and it should not happen. He
Speaker 1: does not owe Black America nothing. Only thing he owes
Speaker 1: Black America is basically civil justice. Okay, and make sure
Speaker 1: that there are is criminal justice reform along with these
Speaker 1: police departments. And yes they should demilitarize the police department
Speaker 1: if I'm correct. Charlemagne said that he's a dropout, but
Speaker 1: yet because of determination and hard wood, he's where he's
Speaker 1: at now. Black America has every opportunity and up they
Speaker 1: want to do. Hang up on him. The reason I'm
Speaker 1: hanging up on him because the Vice President, Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: even thinks different. You heard him yesterday, yesterday he's talking
Speaker 1: about dismantling systemic racism. Yesterday, he's talking about investing in
Speaker 1: the black community through legislation and economic justice. Any stupid
Speaker 1: ass negro that says America because doesn't old black people
Speaker 1: is a goddamn sellout. Hell, yes, they old black people.
Speaker 1: We built this country for free. They have to atone
Speaker 1: for their original sin, which is slavery. And that's the
Speaker 1: only way this nation is going to ever hill and
Speaker 1: and the only way we're gonna ever have heal racial
Speaker 1: inequalities is through legislation and reparation, not chip to Hello,
Speaker 1: what the hell are you talking about? And you know
Speaker 1: why we need a black women running make it's simple
Speaker 1: math because in two thousand and twelve, from twenty twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: four point four million people that were registered to vote
Speaker 1: didn't show up to vote. A third of them were black. Okay,
Speaker 1: knock it off, and and and black women vote for
Speaker 1: voted for Hillary ninety percent of the time. So why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you lean into your base? Why are you aalking
Speaker 1: with that man? I hate dumb name, And why wouldn't you,
Speaker 1: And why wouldn't you want black people to get economic justice?
Speaker 1: Why are you always been through that ud? Why are
Speaker 1: you aalking with that man? That's why I don't talk
Speaker 1: to after five o'clock. Well, let's well, it's it's before
Speaker 1: too early. Think out my goddamn blood pressure go up
Speaker 1: telling me that black black person saying black people shouldn't
Speaker 1: get nothing. That's what's wrong with y'all. Y'all don't understand, y'all.
Speaker 1: Votes are quick, pro quo kids. Y'all ain't never demanding
Speaker 1: nothing in your life. You get to man, y'all just
Speaker 1: want to get what the white man give you. Who
Speaker 1: the y'all breathe? I need you to breathe? Whosa, whosa?
Speaker 1: I'm fine? Who's all right? We need to call your
Speaker 1: therapist right now eight hundred five eight five one oh
Speaker 1: five one and get it off your chest. Now. We
Speaker 1: got rumors on the way. Yes, and it looks like
Speaker 1: a Manda Sales is not renewing her contract with the Reil.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what you had to say about that, yes,
Speaker 1: and also we'll be discussing a radio show that should
Speaker 1: not be renewing their contract. Well at least I heard
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be renewing their contract. Me I love a
Speaker 1: Manda Seales on the rail but anyway, well, I'll get
Speaker 1: to rooms. Next is the breakfast Club. The morning, the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne
Speaker 1: the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. Let's get to
Speaker 1: the rumors. Let's all command the Seals. This is the
Speaker 1: rule of report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well,
Speaker 1: Amanda Seals is leaving the reel. She says she has
Speaker 1: not renewed her contract, but she wants to make sure
Speaker 1: people don't make up their own narratives about what happened.
Speaker 1: And here's what she had to say. My contract is
Speaker 1: up at the reel and I did not renew it
Speaker 1: because it doesn't feel good to my soul to be
Speaker 1: at a place where I cannot speak to my people
Speaker 1: the way they need to be spoken to, and where
Speaker 1: the people who are speaking to me in disparaging ways
Speaker 1: are not being handled. I'm not in a space where
Speaker 1: I can, as a full black woman, have my voice
Speaker 1: and my co workers also have their voices, and where
Speaker 1: the people at the top are not respecting the necessity
Speaker 1: for Black voices to be at the top two. Listen, man,
Speaker 1: my sister not scared. My sister me betting on herself
Speaker 1: for a long time. You know, one thing about independence,
Speaker 1: once you have built something independently, it's very hard to
Speaker 1: give up your freedom and go, you know, work for
Speaker 1: your work for a corporation. And Smart, Funny and Black
Speaker 1: as a brand, and man, the seals built which makes
Speaker 1: people like the Real want to be in business with her.
Speaker 1: So she's always got that. Absolutely gonna stand up. She's
Speaker 1: gonna keep doing her Smart, Funny and Black amongst other things,
Speaker 1: and she gonna keep prospering the way she was before
Speaker 1: there was the Real. Don't get a twisted. She got
Speaker 1: a plan. A mando always has a plan. Should be fine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said, it's hard, you know, once you've been independent,
Speaker 1: you know, making your own money, to be a part
Speaker 1: of a corporation. So I get it that freedom is priceless. Yes,
Speaker 1: And speaking of these talk shows during the day, Megan McCain,
Speaker 1: she is, of course, as you know, on the View
Speaker 1: as one of the co hosts there. She wrote on
Speaker 1: Twitter about the protests that have been taking place in
Speaker 1: New York. She said, my neighborhood in Manhattan is eviscerated
Speaker 1: and looks like a war zone. To Blasio and Coromar
Speaker 1: are an utter disgrace. This is not America. Our leaders
Speaker 1: have abandoned us and continue to let great American cities
Speaker 1: burn to the ground and be destroyed. I never could
Speaker 1: have fathomed this well. Another person who lives in her building,
Speaker 1: Kristin Bartlett, who writes for TBS's late night program, responded, Megan,
Speaker 1: we live in the same building and I just walked outside.
Speaker 1: It's fine, So shut that down pretty quickly. Simendal, Karen, Simendal, Karen,
Speaker 1: all right, go fire over here, Karen, all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: keep the drama to a minimum, all right. And Kimberly
Speaker 1: and Bet they're on a radio show in Rochester, New
Speaker 1: York on ninety five point one, and they were having
Speaker 1: a conversation about the attack of a local couple after
Speaker 1: protests that were happening in downtown Rochester. And Kimberly and
Speaker 1: Beck actually have this to say. Were they acting and
Speaker 1: word ish? There's your question. They were acting thuggarily like
Speaker 1: I think the n wordly. Yeah. And by the way,
Speaker 1: you can't see bad what are you doing here? Problem?
Speaker 1: You know, it's not the show. If you look like
Speaker 1: a sock and if you act like a song and
Speaker 1: you got three on one and beating up a white woman,
Speaker 1: was it two by four? By god, you're a sog.
Speaker 1: And by the way, there are people in the black
Speaker 1: community would say they are acting any word, but they
Speaker 1: can say that. You can't say that. It's double standard.
Speaker 1: I was gonna sat appreciate the devil standard. No interesting, Kimberly,
Speaker 1: you are acting a white devilly, all right, Kimberly, you
Speaker 1: are acting crackerly. You're acting crackerly. Kimberly, Okay, you, as
Speaker 1: a white woman, cannot say N wordly, even if you're
Speaker 1: using it in the proper context. I don't care how
Speaker 1: many times you watch the N word versus Black people
Speaker 1: joke from Chris Rock. I don't care how many times
Speaker 1: you've heard me say I don't talk to N words
Speaker 1: after five pm. You can't say that. By the way,
Speaker 1: I would like to know what you like to know
Speaker 1: what she's calling and thuggerly, but I would like to
Speaker 1: know what she's calling the white people who are out
Speaker 1: there protesting in looting. That's what I would like to know.
Speaker 1: What is she calling them? When she sees those white looters,
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of them. What does she call them?
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know. Well, I'm gonna assume
Speaker 1: they didn't take part in Blackout Tuesday yesterday. It doesn't
Speaker 1: buy everything that was happening that was supporting black lives
Speaker 1: not at all and supporting these movements, and this is
Speaker 1: what they decided to do. So we shall see. But
Speaker 1: there should be some repercussions for that. I don't know
Speaker 1: who that was in the room telling her she can't
Speaker 1: say that, But whoever that was was absolutely right if
Speaker 1: that was beck Kimberly and Beck, Yeah, that was Beck
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, back, Kimberly can't say that. Well, there

Speaker 1: that their dad was going to do for them. I'm sure,
Speaker 1: from schooling to everything. And they're gonna need therapy. They're
Speaker 1: gonna gonna need a lifetime of therapy and grief absolutely. Now,

Speaker 1: know that's running against him that's gonna make him not sweep.
Speaker 1: But you know, we do have more elections happening next
Speaker 1: week on Tuesday, So we'll tell you what states that's
Speaker 1: going to be in, and we'll keep on making sure
Speaker 1: that people do vote. And if you're not wretched to
Speaker 1: to vote, make sure you're a registered to vote. Make
Speaker 1: sure you feel that your sentence form. But Joe Biden
Speaker 1: was talking yesterday in Philadelphia and he was talking about
Speaker 1: police reform a down payment. I want a long overduce.
Speaker 1: Should come now, should come immediately. I call on the
Speaker 1: Congress to act this month my measures that will be
Speaker 1: the first step in this direction, starting with real police reform.
Speaker 1: Congress from Jefferies has a bill to outlaw chokeholes. There
Speaker 1: are other measures to stop transferring weapons of war the
Speaker 1: police forces, improve oversighting accountability, to create a model use
Speaker 1: of force standard. Looking ahead, in the first one hundred
Speaker 1: days of my presidency, I've committed to creating a National
Speaker 1: Police Oversight Commission. I've long believe we need real community policing.
Speaker 1: We all need to take a hard look at the
Speaker 1: culture that allows for the senseless tragedies to keep happening. Listen,
Speaker 1: Joe said all the right things yesterday in Philadelphia, and
Speaker 1: we need him to keep making policy commitments like that publicly,
Speaker 1: because voting will not change things unless the people we
Speaker 1: put in want to change them. This white supremacist system
Speaker 1: is by design, Okay. The whole function of systemic racism
Speaker 1: is the marginalized black people. And it's very hard to
Speaker 1: get any old white man to change the system has
Speaker 1: been working for him and his family for years. So, yes,
Speaker 1: the only way systemic racism will be dismantled if the
Speaker 1: people who benefit from it wanted this mantledge. So I'm
Speaker 1: glad he was talking about this manlest systemic racism. I'm
Speaker 1: glad he's talking about economic justice investments into the black community.
Speaker 1: That's the only way he's going in Because I keep
Speaker 1: standing over and over, if Jeff k was president, Obama,
Speaker 1: Biden has to be Lyndon B. Johnson. That's it. And
Speaker 1: shout out to Congressman Jeffries. Shout out to Congressman Jeffries,
Speaker 1: who he actually referenced when he talks about outlawing the
Speaker 1: outlawing the chokehold. That is actually my congressman who represents
Speaker 1: my district here in Brooklyn. And you know on Judas
Speaker 1: elections are here in New York City. But yes, I
Speaker 1: love if that Clark in Brooklyn. I love Hakim Jeffrey.
Speaker 1: So make sure we support that. Now. Bank of America
Speaker 1: has committed one billion dollars to help combat racial inequality.
Speaker 1: It is the nation's second largest bank, and what they're
Speaker 1: saying is that one billion dollars will benefit communities of
Speaker 1: color over the next four years. The money will go
Speaker 1: toward a number of different areas like employee recruitments, job training,
Speaker 1: support to small businesses, housing aid, and the expansion of
Speaker 1: health services like vaccination clinics. So according to the CEO,
Speaker 1: he said, underlying economic and social disparities that exists have
Speaker 1: accelerated and intensified during the global pandemic. The events of
Speaker 1: the past week have created a sense of true urgency
Speaker 1: that has arisen across our nation, particularly in view of
Speaker 1: the racial injustices we have seen in the communities where
Speaker 1: we work and live. We all need to do more right,
Speaker 1: and I would say you have to keep Yeah. Now
Speaker 1: we're gonna say I was gonna say this with Bank
Speaker 1: of America too. Bank of America changed the policy that
Speaker 1: really affects a lot of small business owners Bank of America,
Speaker 1: because a lot of small business owners been hitting me
Speaker 1: about this. Bank of America. Usually, if you write somebody
Speaker 1: a check, it would usually clear from three to five days,
Speaker 1: but now the checks are clearing in ten to twelve days,
Speaker 1: which is a problem for a lot of small business
Speaker 1: owners because if you write somebody a check, they can't
Speaker 1: get that money for ten to twelve day, which is
Speaker 1: a problem. A lot of business owners are leaving Bank
Speaker 1: of America because they can't wait twelve days for a
Speaker 1: check to clear. That's affecting a lot of mone arted businesses.
Speaker 1: I want to say that to a Bank of America.
Speaker 1: I hope somebody's listening, because they gotta change that. It
Speaker 1: wasn't always because we actually use Bank of America for
Speaker 1: juice for life. I use it for a lot of myself.
Speaker 1: I too, but but I'm gonna change it. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: glad they put up that billion dollars for you know,
Speaker 1: racial justice, because we gotta keep pushing America to atone
Speaker 1: for his original sin, which is slavery, and the only
Speaker 1: way to heal is through legislation and reparations. Just the
Speaker 1: black community needs an economic justice package. We need that bag,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get it. Okay. That's that's why I
Speaker 1: just keep telling people, don't be afraid to make demands. Right,
Speaker 1: what's your votes? All? Right? Well I am um Angela. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that is your front page news? Did you get
Speaker 1: your name? Would you have to think about that because
Speaker 1: Bank of it. I'm looking at Think of America right
Speaker 1: now and I was like trying to see about what
Speaker 1: they do because that was you know, a concern. But
Speaker 1: we don't ever checks anymore anyway, because we just do
Speaker 1: everything electronically. Yeah, but for some people, like if you
Speaker 1: write checks to people to get a receipt. A lot
Speaker 1: of small business own owners were telling me that Bank
Speaker 1: America the checks Claire and tended business days seven to
Speaker 1: ten business days, but before it was three to five.
Speaker 1: But anyway, up next Kurt Franklin movie joining us. We'll
Speaker 1: kick it with Kurt Franklin, So don't move. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club the Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: tj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlotte and the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line,
Speaker 1: the brother Kurt Franklin or some beautiful people mana Snana
Speaker 1: to be here. And I want to make sure, you know,
Speaker 1: if if I need to take this, you know, ben
Speaker 1: down off, you know, trying to come this morning with
Speaker 1: a look sauce. If I need to take it off,
Speaker 1: I'll take it off. You know. I like your Christian
Speaker 1: kryp vibes nice and it looks like you have a
Speaker 1: fresh haircut too. Can I see that line on the side. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: about no, if I want to do. I watched you,
Speaker 1: I watched a good brother, Bishop td Jakes, I watched
Speaker 1: Fred Hammond all in the studio together with no damn
Speaker 1: mask on. I believe in God too, and I got
Speaker 1: favorite Corona is real where everybody that came into the
Speaker 1: studio we're taking tempts and it's very difficult to be
Speaker 1: able to speak to the people and communicate in an
Speaker 1: effective way when we're having to do it in the mask.
Speaker 1: So you know, we were doing the best we can,
Speaker 1: but for the sake of hope and encouraging the people,
Speaker 1: we put ourselves out there. Well, thank you so much
Speaker 1: for that Versus battle on Sunday. That was amazing and
Speaker 1: I think the timing wise, the timing couldn't have been
Speaker 1: any better at all because we all needed that. Man. No,
Speaker 1: I was very humble when Us Swiss and Tim hit me.
Speaker 1: It was something that I would never do in a
Speaker 1: normal situation now because I think the platform is not
Speaker 1: too produced. I just think that in you know, gospel
Speaker 1: music or Christian music, just because we talk about you know,
Speaker 1: someone bigger than us, you know, to try to say
Speaker 1: you know that the music God gave me a stupid
Speaker 1: than the music God gave you you know, and you
Speaker 1: know just kind of would have not always reflected what
Speaker 1: I think the biggest story is. But because we were
Speaker 1: able to do it for the people, and we were
Speaker 1: able to do it for something that had a bigger narrative,
Speaker 1: as I thought, it was a great moment. It wasn't
Speaker 1: a battle. We don't call it a battle. It's it's
Speaker 1: giving each other flowers. It's kind of wrapping each other
Speaker 1: and represent each other. So we I know, I know
Speaker 1: we call it the verses, but it's more like giving
Speaker 1: artists and producers and writers their flowers while they're here.
Speaker 1: And we definitely needed that one this weekend. Now, Kirk
Speaker 1: got sounds great, But who won? Who you think one? Now?
Speaker 1: Come on? He is? I hope that gospel music one. Then.
Speaker 1: I hope that gospel music look fresh. I hope that
Speaker 1: people you know, could you know, con see you know,
Speaker 1: just because when you look at all the genres of
Speaker 1: music that are curated by people of color, you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of times gospel music is one of the
Speaker 1: lord hanging fruits you're dig and so to be able
Speaker 1: to beyond that big platform, to be able to keep
Speaker 1: it a buck with people about you know, the hurting
Speaker 1: pain and to be able to see the entertaining DNA
Speaker 1: of gospel music as well. That was pretty for us,
Speaker 1: for us to be able to present that to culture. Now,
Speaker 1: what do you tell your people that that are your
Speaker 1: fans that follow you right now with everything that's going
Speaker 1: on from COVID nineteen coronavirus to the protest and what
Speaker 1: happened with George Floyd, what what are you telling your people? Is?
Speaker 1: I try to say that I don't understand everything that
Speaker 1: that that I we put those that weep and and
Speaker 1: and I'm warm with those who mourned. That that a
Speaker 1: lot of times it's not necessarily always stole about the
Speaker 1: scripture and every freaking thing. A lot of times you
Speaker 1: just gotta be talent and fill the pain with people.
Speaker 1: And when the opportunity permits itself, then you give them
Speaker 1: another narrative and another optic of what they can look like,
Speaker 1: and you do life with people. Man is. I think
Speaker 1: that what it's made this moment also divine as well
Speaker 1: as painful, is that we all on the same level.
Speaker 1: And so I just try to be on the front
Speaker 1: line in the middle of the struggle with my people. Man.
Speaker 1: One touching moment was you had Wander Cooper Jones, the
Speaker 1: mother of a mad Abery actually called in and that
Speaker 1: was a tear jerking moment for that to happen, but
Speaker 1: it was also inspirational as well, Thank you. And I
Speaker 1: was very intentional about that, like I hunted her down
Speaker 1: when when this versus situation came up, I was like,
Speaker 1: we need an element that can remind us. And you know,
Speaker 1: here's the unfortunate thing. We are having so many black
Speaker 1: soldiers fall during this Civil War that a lot of
Speaker 1: times you can forget the soldier before the soldier. Yeah,
Speaker 1: dig And so I just thought that it would be
Speaker 1: a very powerful moment for this beautiful queen to know
Speaker 1: that even in the midst of mister Floyd's suffering, that
Speaker 1: we also know that before mister Floyd was mister Aubrey.
Speaker 1: And so sometimes there's a mom I gonna imagine that
Speaker 1: you may forget that people move on from yours, and
Speaker 1: I want her to know that the pain is transferable,
Speaker 1: that we see you as well and we remember you,
Speaker 1: and we got you. You know, Kirk, you got a
Speaker 1: single called Strong God. And then it talks about racism
Speaker 1: and the human race needing healing did you have this
Speaker 1: song already made prior to the death of George Floyd
Speaker 1: or was just a result of his murder? Man? I
Speaker 1: wrote this song last year and I put it on
Speaker 1: the latest album Long Live Love, and had no idea
Speaker 1: that it would be an evergreen moment. But you know what,
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, we've been in this
Speaker 1: state for many, many, many, many, many many years, and
Speaker 1: so these these topics, unfortunately, these topics are ever green.
Speaker 1: We should be writing new lyrics, which we should be
Speaker 1: having new conversation, but unfortunately we are always having to
Speaker 1: to open back up the same one. And so that
Speaker 1: is a problem. It's it's a problem for culture. It's
Speaker 1: a problem for Christianity, it's a problem for social injustice.
Speaker 1: It's a problem on the political scale. It's a problem
Speaker 1: socio economically, is that we're always having to regurg it
Speaker 1: take the same conversation, and that in itself can be deplorable.
Speaker 1: I saw you tweet on May twenty ninth, pain losers
Speaker 1: is hearing after centuries of broken promises, it becomes numb
Speaker 1: and death to anything except tangible change. You cannot love
Speaker 1: people and not be shook to your care by the
Speaker 1: optics against humanity helping. It's found it's found on that plete. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know how I can spit any better than
Speaker 1: you did, you know, And and plus you got that
Speaker 1: Charlomagne tone, so you know kind of more powerful. Um
Speaker 1: that if we are are from the same origin, we
Speaker 1: are all from from the same dirt. You know, scientifically
Speaker 1: proven that we all come from the soil of Africa.
Speaker 1: So so we all have some type of genetic code
Speaker 1: inside of us that makes all of us humans. That's
Speaker 1: why we don't see animals cry when they kill each other,
Speaker 1: just because humans possess a soul that should be universal
Speaker 1: with somebody ax. And so when when you don't have
Speaker 1: sorrow in your heart, when humanity hurts, there is a
Speaker 1: deadening inside of your humanity. There is something inside of
Speaker 1: you that it's deceased. And I don't care how much
Speaker 1: you lift your hands or what God you pray to.
Speaker 1: And so if you conceive people suffering and screaming for help,
Speaker 1: if I was drown in Charlemagne, and if you drove
Speaker 1: by me, and if I was drowning in the lake,
Speaker 1: and if you pulled to the south of the lake,
Speaker 1: and if you started saying to me swim harder, battle
Speaker 1: doggiest out and if you took a book about how
Speaker 1: to swim and threw it at me in the water,
Speaker 1: in your mind, if you think that you're helping me,
Speaker 1: you've lost your mind. I'm drowning, as I don't need
Speaker 1: for you to pull over and throw a book at me,
Speaker 1: as I don't need for you to yell dogget pattle.
Speaker 1: I need for you to get your ass in that water,
Speaker 1: and I need for you to come swim because I've
Speaker 1: been drowning for a long time and I need for
Speaker 1: you to come getting me out of that water. Now, Kirk,
Speaker 1: I can't swim. Kirk, can you swim? I can swim.
Speaker 1: I'm a black man that can swim me too. You
Speaker 1: said doggy style. It's doggie pattle. I don't know what
Speaker 1: you're thinking about, but it's dog thinking about. It's not style,
Speaker 1: doggy battle. You tell your wife you're gonna lay hands
Speaker 1: on her. So, oh my gosh, h we got more
Speaker 1: with Kirk Franklin when we come back, don't move. It's
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning, p j Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking
Speaker 1: it with Kirk Franklin, Charlomagne, what do you say to
Speaker 1: a lot of Christians who have received backlash for saying
Speaker 1: that we need to pray for the cops who are
Speaker 1: involved in George Floyd's murder. We need to forgive the cops.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that? It's all the timing,
Speaker 1: It's it's someone like we need to say, then we
Speaker 1: need to say that we need to pray for the
Speaker 1: Roman soldiers to kill Jesus. They say that you need
Speaker 1: to pray for the man that shot doctor King, then
Speaker 1: say that, share it. And if you're gonna say it,
Speaker 1: saying loud. The Bible says, rejoice with those who rejoice them,
Speaker 1: mourn with those who mourned. Right now, we're in a
Speaker 1: mourning state, and mourn mourn, mourn with us. It makes
Speaker 1: Christianity duplicitness when you have those type of statements, and
Speaker 1: that's why people do not trust we are. We are
Speaker 1: already trying to deal with the narratives of the weaponized
Speaker 1: version of Western Christianity. They we've been dealing with for centuries,
Speaker 1: and so I'm just trying to rewrite that narrative. And
Speaker 1: so I'm not praying for anybody right now mourning with
Speaker 1: my brothers and sisters. And if a white Christians want
Speaker 1: to have that conversation now, then I think that they
Speaker 1: need to check their motives and intent. That's the first
Speaker 1: time I've ever heard that, you know, and really, people say, no,
Speaker 1: you gotta pray for the people as hurting you, and
Speaker 1: I always say I can't. I can't pray right now
Speaker 1: because I haven't. I haven't forgiven them yet. And that's
Speaker 1: the first time I've heard anybody say that. Used to
Speaker 1: people like, no, we have to pray. You know, the
Speaker 1: person that came in in and shot the people in
Speaker 1: the church. We have to pray for that young man.
Speaker 1: We forgive him. I can't forgive him because I'm still
Speaker 1: mourning now. Bother you if I think that this should
Speaker 1: row it when you have families right after the Charleston
Speaker 1: killing that say that we're going to pray for for
Speaker 1: this young white young man, how here rowing and how
Speaker 1: much I want to be like that. And I do
Speaker 1: believe that God allows in different periods of history those
Speaker 1: moments that we can try to aspire to, but it
Speaker 1: should not be a judgment against those that can't do
Speaker 1: it at that moment. Right, I'm gonna be honest with
Speaker 1: your Kraig. I don't believe them when they do that.
Speaker 1: Like I'm I'm from, I was born in Charleston, raised
Speaker 1: amongst Corner right next to Charleston. I don't believe them
Speaker 1: when they forgive that quick, like it's it's physically, emotionally, mentally,
Speaker 1: spiritually impossible to get to a place of forgiveness that fast.
Speaker 1: I don't believe. Well, you know what, bro that is
Speaker 1: that I can totally understand what you're saying that for
Speaker 1: your state and your mourning and your pain. But I
Speaker 1: do believe, in my humble opinion, this is my humble opinion,
Speaker 1: that there is a supernatural power that God can give
Speaker 1: corredit that king when her husband was martyred for the
Speaker 1: sake of freedom, that gives her the power to march
Speaker 1: and stand and to pray and to keep the narrative going.
Speaker 1: And I believe if I believe in God, then I
Speaker 1: gotta believe in a supernatural power that can supersede and
Speaker 1: even trump my human emotions and being. Now, there's no scientific,
Speaker 1: no scientific evidence for it, there's nothing tangible in any data.
Speaker 1: But that's what the spirits relieves think about it. Man.
Speaker 1: Just look at all the people. Look at all the
Speaker 1: health Black Booth been going through for censuries and still
Speaker 1: with some of the most powerful people from the planet.
Speaker 1: And when you look at that, I mean bro like
Speaker 1: and excited, there's keeping no cap right there. Look at
Speaker 1: all of the hell our four fathers and mothers went through.
Speaker 1: And you didn't hear a lot about suicide. You didn't
Speaker 1: hear a lot about people just ending it at all.
Speaker 1: You hear more about Listen, I great grandmama's and grandparents.
Speaker 1: They were not cashing out like we all right now,
Speaker 1: and they were going through some of the most demonic
Speaker 1: trauma and all the PTSD that a lot of them
Speaker 1: lived through. But they were still holding on, still believing
Speaker 1: that God was gonna make a way out of no way.
Speaker 1: And if they could have done it without the resources
Speaker 1: that they had during Jim Crown, then there's got to
Speaker 1: be supernatural power that we cannot explain, right, just how
Speaker 1: people grieve differently at some points. For people, their faith
Speaker 1: is what we'll get them through certain things, and that
Speaker 1: might mean prayer and forgiveness because that helps you as
Speaker 1: a person to go on, while at the same time
Speaker 1: I can also co signed Charlemagne and anybody else that
Speaker 1: if you're not there, we need to not judge people
Speaker 1: that they not fair. It say not there, man less,
Speaker 1: mourn with them. That's what I'm saying, that there's a
Speaker 1: duality that we can be both. I always ask people,
Speaker 1: you know, at times like this, you know a lot
Speaker 1: of times people are trying to to to get their
Speaker 1: faith and losing faith a little bit, you know, from
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen to coronavirus. Then people open up their their
Speaker 1: small business and then their business gets looted. You what
Speaker 1: do you tell those individuals? First of all, incredible question.
Speaker 1: And I think that it's very important to say to
Speaker 1: people that I don't have all the answers. One of
Speaker 1: one of the most prolific statements that you can sometimes
Speaker 1: say is I don't know, but I do want to
Speaker 1: say this what I don't know, that's not cancel out
Speaker 1: what I do know, And so what I do know
Speaker 1: still has a validity in the midst of the battle.
Speaker 1: And I can say to people that I was abandoned
Speaker 1: as a child. I was adopted at the age of
Speaker 1: four by six to four year old woman. I heard
Speaker 1: my biological mother tell that lady I at thirteen. Shit
Speaker 1: visited once. Instead. I didn't even want him. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: in an abortion, and you wouldn't let me. My father
Speaker 1: did one thing for me, gave me a haircut when
Speaker 1: his father died for the funeral. Never did anything else
Speaker 1: for me. I had ADHD. Kids laughed at me because
Speaker 1: I was a church boy. I dropped out of high school.
Speaker 1: I had learning to sort. I got a kid when
Speaker 1: I was seventeen. The church keeped me out. I found
Speaker 1: that same lady that adopted me dead and asleep, and
Speaker 1: I remember going to the pawn shop cash him, trying
Speaker 1: to pawn her wedding ring that she left to me
Speaker 1: because I was hungry living in her house that was
Speaker 1: not full of rats. And so how can you take
Speaker 1: somebody like me with no education. I'm vertically shalling. I
Speaker 1: can't saying, and my career has lasted for over three decades.
Speaker 1: It's not because I'm a dopist. There are so many
Speaker 1: people that are great and better than me. It is
Speaker 1: only the greatest and testimonial Christ. And so I try
Speaker 1: to let people know that if he can did that,
Speaker 1: if he can do that for me, he can do
Speaker 1: that for you. Hey, Kirk is a fellow vertically challenged man. Um,
Speaker 1: it's not like you're playing basketball. Okay, So let's not
Speaker 1: let's not act like okay, let's not act like the
Speaker 1: height has a real factor in anything that you're doing. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you, brother. I want to talk about strong God
Speaker 1: because you said until lives matter more than ties matter. WHOA,
Speaker 1: let me here, let me let me hear you did
Speaker 1: some of these paths making all this money. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. Um, once again, there are brothers and sisters
Speaker 1: that are in the battle that don't always reflect what
Speaker 1: the battle should look like. You know, even if you
Speaker 1: have a president that is walking in front of a
Speaker 1: church yesterday holding up a Bible where you know, he
Speaker 1: must ain't read Sums one nineteen, you know, because some
Speaker 1: my chief says, hide thy word in thy heart, not
Speaker 1: hold my word in thy hands, you know, and so
Speaker 1: so so so there are a lot of hypocritical images
Speaker 1: in every community. And so that's why you try to
Speaker 1: see me be very verbal about the mistakes of Christianity,
Speaker 1: the sins of Christianity. And so I can co sign
Speaker 1: with that, I can concur and so and so. But
Speaker 1: it does not mean that there are the man and
Speaker 1: women that have not been transformed by the incredible eternal
Speaker 1: message of the Gospel. Jump through sixteen. For God so
Speaker 1: loved the world that he gave his only son. These
Speaker 1: are messages, and so when people make money and make
Speaker 1: God a lottery, then they are missing the divine purpose
Speaker 1: of why Christ will give his life for everybody. There's
Speaker 1: not a person on this planet that Jesus don't love.
Speaker 1: All Right, we got more with Kirk Franklin when we
Speaker 1: come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlemagne, the guy we
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Kirk Franklin. Ye, Kirk,
Speaker 1: while you're at home during this time, have you been
Speaker 1: inspired musically just by everything that's going on around you?
Speaker 1: You know, if I can be honest with you, one
Speaker 1: of the reasons why I wore this shirt today is
Speaker 1: because I started back going to therapy during this pandemic.
Speaker 1: I can now it's I've been going to therapy now
Speaker 1: off and on for about the last thirty years, you know,
Speaker 1: dealing with my just dealing with my band ament issues,
Speaker 1: dealing with you know, just a rejection I had as
Speaker 1: a kid a lot of the trauma that I've suffered
Speaker 1: as a young man, and so therapy and my faith
Speaker 1: have been my They've just been my life boat. And
Speaker 1: so the trauma of first of all the pandemic, and
Speaker 1: then now what's happening now is that I started going
Speaker 1: back to my therapist. And I can be honest and
Speaker 1: tell you that the motivation to do a lot of music,
Speaker 1: it's been often own just because I've been just really struggling.
Speaker 1: I've been really struggling trying to get people just to
Speaker 1: hold on. It's it's almost like where does the physician
Speaker 1: go when he's sick. You know, I'm getting myself back
Speaker 1: together just because I think that y'all needed Sunday, But
Speaker 1: I needed Sunday too. Is I needed that versus moment too? Now?
Speaker 1: What have you been going through? You said you were
Speaker 1: going through a lot, and I'm sure people are going
Speaker 1: through the same thing. What were you dealing with that
Speaker 1: you said, you know what, I gotta go see a
Speaker 1: therapist right now. I was an anxiety. What was it
Speaker 1: that you say I have to Yeah, yeah, well you
Speaker 1: know I've always struggled with anxiety. And then you know,
Speaker 1: just as a creative I think almost every creative and
Speaker 1: of course you're all three of y'all feel that's just
Speaker 1: because y'all are curators. And then the attention that y'all give,
Speaker 1: and the and and and just to grab the y'all platform,
Speaker 1: you know, to who much has given, much is required
Speaker 1: and a lot of times people don't know. And of
Speaker 1: course y'all can amand this when you live in the
Speaker 1: public eye, your highs and your loans are different, and
Speaker 1: so that type of pressure that you live up under,
Speaker 1: it's not realistic. So um, you know, just in the
Speaker 1: pressures of the world, or are people trusting that you
Speaker 1: always got to answer and that you're always having to
Speaker 1: be ready to give an answer? Um can be very discouraging,
Speaker 1: can be very heavy, and and and I carried the
Speaker 1: weight of people's hurt very real life bro Like no cap,
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I would not be doing this music
Speaker 1: if I not believing the dude that I walk with.
Speaker 1: So it's like I gotta have somebody to be able
Speaker 1: to block this. Kim. I can't go to White Pep
Speaker 1: with that every day. You know, she made me to
Speaker 1: be strong with her. So it's like I gotta go
Speaker 1: to somebody who I can go. Man, these christens me off.
Speaker 1: It's like, man, somebody else got shot. Man, what do
Speaker 1: I do? Man? It's like people ain't working right now,
Speaker 1: you know. And I got a whole crew that I
Speaker 1: got to take care of. Man, you know, went to
Speaker 1: and so that type of pressure is I need somebody
Speaker 1: to pour into me so that when I get on
Speaker 1: these incredible platforms with y'all, I'll have something to be
Speaker 1: able to say absolutely, Hey, Kirk, you know what's so
Speaker 1: interesting man? Um. You know, prior to the quarantine, my
Speaker 1: therapist had been trying to tell me for the longest,
Speaker 1: let go of things that you can't control, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? And I could never grasp that concept.
Speaker 1: Until the quarantine, we had never experienced anything like coronavirus.
Speaker 1: So you know what I did, I flipped it right it.
Speaker 1: I started leaning more into my faith side because I
Speaker 1: already had gotten what I needed from going to therapy
Speaker 1: all of those those those past these past a couple
Speaker 1: of years. I started leaning into my facetie. So it
Speaker 1: was more Bishop TD Jakes, more, Stephen Fredick more, Pastor
Speaker 1: John Graha More minutes to ferracon. You know what I mean,
Speaker 1: That is the job that I want you to be
Speaker 1: able to communicate to culture as well. Is that at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you are spiritual beings. Is
Speaker 1: that if you live your life depending upon the natural
Speaker 1: world to be able to feel something that the natural
Speaker 1: world does not have the ingredients to do. That's why.
Speaker 1: That's why it don't matter how good sex has been
Speaker 1: for a lot of human beings, a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't stay with that same one. You're always looking for
Speaker 1: something different, no matter how much that drug made you
Speaker 1: feel at that moment. You're looking for the next high,
Speaker 1: just because the natural world can't speak to the depth
Speaker 1: of the crime of your soul. Your soul was created
Speaker 1: for something bigger that the human world is not able
Speaker 1: to be able to fulfill it with. And so that's
Speaker 1: why I'm always trying to That's why I'm always trying
Speaker 1: to be a messenger to clean up what a lot
Speaker 1: of the history of Christianity has messed up. Because Christianity
Speaker 1: and Jesus are not always synonymous. Explain a little bit well.
Speaker 1: Christianity is the form in which we brought to communicate
Speaker 1: what the teachings of Jesus is, or what the chiefing
Speaker 1: of Jesus was but in the sinfulness of man. Throughout
Speaker 1: the narrative of that historical context, there has been a
Speaker 1: lot of distraction. There's been a lot of abuse or power.
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of misuse of the statements of
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ. But that does not mean that the historic
Speaker 1: individual of Jesus Christ and what he stood for and
Speaker 1: for what he preached, it's always reflective in the actions historically,
Speaker 1: whether through the Crusades, whether through the Conquest, whether through
Speaker 1: Jim Crowe, whether through colonialism. Christianity was always leading in
Speaker 1: those narratives, and we've got to confess those sins in
Speaker 1: order to get it right. We've got to confess what's wrong.
Speaker 1: And so that's why I'm always an advocate for platforms
Speaker 1: like Apologetics to be able to communicate the historical, accurate
Speaker 1: narrative of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as
Speaker 1: pointing out the bull and the foolishness that Christianity historically
Speaker 1: has done. Absolutely, I got one last question question for
Speaker 1: brother Kirk. I was watching UM Bishop TV Jake's Sunday
Speaker 1: and this is a conversation that a lot of me
Speaker 1: and my folks have been having. Do you believe Kirk
Speaker 1: that we're in the end of times. You know, I
Speaker 1: think that a lot of people can be so enamored
Speaker 1: with the conversation of what does this mean versus what
Speaker 1: do we do? As I think that it's easier to
Speaker 1: try to figure out what's happening out there instead of
Speaker 1: looking at this moment to see what needs to be
Speaker 1: fixed in here? Does that make sense what I'm saying
Speaker 1: perfect sense? And so I would encourage people. I encourage
Speaker 1: people to stop trying to be so worried about where
Speaker 1: God is instead of trying to be more focused on
Speaker 1: it's God with me who thinks ll thank you now
Speaker 1: for us. And just so you know, I'll be praying
Speaker 1: for you as well as I know difficult times. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you gotta leave us with a prayer. Though, brother, man, father,
Speaker 1: I uh man, don't even know what to say to
Speaker 1: you sometimes in the midst of this, because I don't
Speaker 1: always understand what your hand is doing. But I've come
Speaker 1: to understand that when I cannot trace your hand, that
Speaker 1: I can trust your heart and that I can also
Speaker 1: believe that when the world is out of control, that
Speaker 1: does not mean that you are still not in control.
Speaker 1: And I do want to say to your Father, if
Speaker 1: you've ever been trying to get our attention, you have
Speaker 1: our attention now. Whatever you want to say to us, Lord,
Speaker 1: we want to have hearts to hear. And I know
Speaker 1: that we come sometimes with our own biases, our own prejudices,
Speaker 1: our own ideals of who you are. But instead of
Speaker 1: us trying to make you out to be where we
Speaker 1: think you are, God, I'm asking you, by faith, show
Speaker 1: us who you are. Show us your face, let us
Speaker 1: see your hand, reveal yourself to us in this pandemic.
Speaker 1: Because we have two pandemics happening, three pandemics financially, socially, politically, spiritually,
Speaker 1: more than one just pandemic. They we're asking you to
Speaker 1: be the sovereign God that you are and hear the
Speaker 1: hearts of your people. And Lord, I know right now
Speaker 1: it is so difficult to trust because we are so
Speaker 1: broken and fragile. So God, I'm asking you right now
Speaker 1: have mercy. Have mercy on message and your name christ
Speaker 1: I pray, Amen, Amen, Man, thank you, thank you man. Yes, sir,
Speaker 1: all right, it's Kirk Franklin. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Speaker 1: It's just oh gosh, got guys, it's so today on
Speaker 1: the talk they've put out a teaser for what's going
Speaker 1: to be happening, and Eve is discussing how she has
Speaker 1: to have these very difficult and uncomfortable conversations right now
Speaker 1: because she is married to a white man. So here's
Speaker 1: what she said. I am in an interracial relationship. I
Speaker 1: am having some of the most difficult and uncocomfortable conversations
Speaker 1: I think I've ever had and vice versa with my husband.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's a beautiful thing because
Speaker 1: I don't know his life through his eyes. He doesn't
Speaker 1: know my life my eyes. All we can do is
Speaker 1: all he can do is try to understand and try
Speaker 1: to ask the questions, and he wants to understand. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be uncomfortable, but we have to be okay with
Speaker 1: being uncomfortable so that we can get to a solution.
Speaker 1: Is that what ll cooj was alluding to when he
Speaker 1: was saying, what did it by racial? No, I actually
Speaker 1: got a call about LL I believe. Don't quote me.
Speaker 1: I believe he has a step brother or that's half black,
Speaker 1: half white. I believe, And that's what he was referring to.
Speaker 1: I believe. Okay, oh okay. When he yelled, when he
Speaker 1: yelled out on Twitter. Imagine how people raising by racial
Speaker 1: children feel right now? This is crazy. So Eve was
Speaker 1: just having a conversation with her white husband. I get it. Yes,
Speaker 1: that shouldn't be an uncomfortable conversation though. It shouldn't be
Speaker 1: uncomfortable at all. It should be somebody listening and somebody teaching. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it is also okay to have uncomfortable conversations. I
Speaker 1: feel like that's fine, you know, because it might be
Speaker 1: something that I mean, it's a you know, right now,
Speaker 1: in this day and age and everything that's happening, some
Speaker 1: of those conversations might get a little heated, even amongst
Speaker 1: people who love each other. Yeah, just don't understand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's not even a conversation about race. This is
Speaker 1: a conversation about humanity, you know what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: there's no way a human being can watch that video
Speaker 1: or George Floyd and say, oh that's okay. If you
Speaker 1: don't feel a way about that, and then something's wrong
Speaker 1: with you. You don't got no soul. And you should
Speaker 1: always feel okay when you're in a space where you
Speaker 1: feel safe to be able to ask questions too, even
Speaker 1: those difficult questions. So like she said, you know, he
Speaker 1: sees life through his eyes. She sees life through her eyes.
Speaker 1: So they have to be able to discuss those things
Speaker 1: and trying. And she said, you know it's hard because
Speaker 1: she gets very emotional as well. So I can see
Speaker 1: why now. Killer Mike also hosted a virtual meeting with
Speaker 1: grassroots leaders and he was highlighting all the ways that
Speaker 1: they're working to address systemic racism. Here is TMZ. They
Speaker 1: were live streaming it. You guys are the most important
Speaker 1: people on the phone the day because you do the work.
Speaker 1: I was told by my mentor you do not organize
Speaker 1: on the behalf of people without organizing with people seeing
Speaker 1: this though, how I have attention because I'm a rapper.
Speaker 1: I want to give that attention. Exactly where did you go?
Speaker 1: And that's the people who are in the fields doing
Speaker 1: the work, whether that's akia or carry and say, I
Speaker 1: just wanted to make sure that along with answering my
Speaker 1: questions today or questions from me, that you didn't hang
Speaker 1: up the phone looking for who the people that are
Speaker 1: doing the work, but they're on the phone or on
Speaker 1: the zoone call with us. And with that said, out
Speaker 1: Doc Wresting, Listen, listen, remember when the guy called up
Speaker 1: earlier and said people need to be meeting, coming up
Speaker 1: with demands, coming up with a plan. Yep, what Killer
Speaker 1: Mike or Killer Mike is doing has been happening. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's that. That one just went public. But we all
Speaker 1: know Mike as a brother that always does the work.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell y'all something. We don't need to
Speaker 1: be plotting and planning in front of the world. Let's
Speaker 1: let folks just see the work. They don't need to
Speaker 1: see how the food is being cooked. You get more
Speaker 1: accomplished that way. Sniper position, stay low, keep firing. And
Speaker 1: for all your brothers and sisters in the communities, don't
Speaker 1: wait on a celebrity to help you organize. Organize yourself.
Speaker 1: Don't wait on a celebrity to lead. You lead. You
Speaker 1: know your community better than better than any So clebrity done,
Speaker 1: so leave well. In Chicago, the mayor Lory Lightfoot has
Speaker 1: already announced new reform measures for police accountability and also
Speaker 1: a ten million dollar fund for businesses that have been
Speaker 1: harmed in recent days. So there's some new directives, and
Speaker 1: she says they're immediate necessary next steps like improved training
Speaker 1: for police officers, bringing in community leaders and members as teachers,
Speaker 1: offers to wellness programs so they can manage their own
Speaker 1: trauma and stress, mandatory training on crisis intervention and procedural
Speaker 1: justice for all officers, and a new recruit program for
Speaker 1: police community relations. So they said they're going to be
Speaker 1: implementing these measures within the next ninety days. So nobody
Speaker 1: can say that work is not getting done. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's true at all. Drop one a CLUDI bond
Speaker 1: for Lory Lightfoot. And you know what else that shows you,
Speaker 1: Lord Lightfoot is a black woman. She's a black woman
Speaker 1: who is in a position to do things that benefit
Speaker 1: the black community. She's not just a blackface in a
Speaker 1: high place. She's a black face that cares about black
Speaker 1: people in a high place, so she can make those
Speaker 1: type of things happen. That's how you just gent to
Speaker 1: white supremacy. And she's fed up and she doesn't give
Speaker 1: an f and she only cares about making sure what
Speaker 1: doing what's right. And I love it. I love that
Speaker 1: all right. And Keki Palmer also took to the streets
Speaker 1: yesterday and she was demanding justice for George Floyd. And
Speaker 1: she was spotted at a demonstration. She did approach members
Speaker 1: of the National Guard. And here's what happened beside is
Speaker 1: that the revolution be televised. March beside is an insurance
Speaker 1: that you're here for us, please us. I can't believe
Speaker 1: this potion. I will march through this street with you guys.
Speaker 1: I don't know if this intersection an intersection, but I
Speaker 1: have to control the control. What is it the control? Man?
Speaker 1: March with us. Can you take a new? Can you
Speaker 1: take a new? I don't know. There's enough to me.
Speaker 1: I thought that was great. Shout to Kiki. Had the
Speaker 1: guards get on their knees and everything. I love it.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Kiki, ow wow, you do howne you
Speaker 1: love when the guards get on their knees. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: and what is wrong with you? Man? See you always
Speaker 1: take this is serious man. She had the National Guards
Speaker 1: taking knee last yesterday. Man, that was that was dope.
Speaker 1: That's not what you say you said she had you
Speaker 1: heard what you wanted to hit? Continue you loved it.
Speaker 1: There's an inmate in a jail right now hearing that.
Speaker 1: See smiling. See you want I want me to continue
Speaker 1: and please continue. This guy's crazy like it takes eight.
Speaker 1: Everything good Kid turned into Kinky all right, and Surviving
Speaker 1: R Kelly producer Dream Hampton she is going to be
Speaker 1: directing a Black Wall Street series. She has announced that
Speaker 1: it's in the works right now. It's a mini documentary
Speaker 1: series about the Tulsa race massacre in nineteen twenty one.
Speaker 1: That's when the Greenwood District was known as a black
Speaker 1: wall Street, and that was because of the success of
Speaker 1: the three hundred African American owned businesses. She said, Black
Speaker 1: people from Tulsa have refused to let the Greenwood District
Speaker 1: ma secur be your race from history. I'm so inspired
Speaker 1: by their persistence to lift up the stories of what
Speaker 1: North Tulsa was before the massacre. So she's going to
Speaker 1: be telling that story. Yeah, I can't wait for that
Speaker 1: story to be told. Also, Dreamhampton is so much more
Speaker 1: than the Surviving Our Kelly director. I hate when people
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not your fault, ye, but I just
Speaker 1: hate when people label her that when they say Surviving
Speaker 1: Our Kelly director. Dream has been around for a long
Speaker 1: time doing some great things. Actually, all right, well I'm
Speaker 1: angela ye and that is your rumor report. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you, miss ye charlemagneh are you giving that donkey too,
Speaker 1: m LAPD police chief. So not a guard invisa, don't
Speaker 1: get excited, but the La LAPD police chief named Michael Moore. Okay,
Speaker 1: we need him to come to the front of the
Speaker 1: congregation where we'd like to have a word with him. Police,
Speaker 1: Why why do you wake up so kinky? It's something.
Speaker 1: It's something about Michael Moore that you might like. We'll
Speaker 1: get to it, my goodness side, We'll get into the
Speaker 1: donkey to day up next it's the breakfast cloud good morning,
Speaker 1: say that gang. Don't get the same man you are.
Speaker 1: Donkey today does not discriminate. I might not have the
Speaker 1: song today, but I got the donkey that I need
Speaker 1: to be a donkey man with the breakfast club bitch.
Speaker 1: I just don't kive today today. Donkey today for Wednesday,
Speaker 1: June third goes to LAPD Police Chief Michael Moore. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't know how I missed this, but this man
Speaker 1: has to get the credit he deserves for being stupid. Today,
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Police Chief Michael Moore said that looters. Looters
Speaker 1: carry as much blame for the death of George Floyd
Speaker 1: as the Minneapolis police officers who actually killed him. I
Speaker 1: repeat LAPD Police Chief Michael Moore said that louders carry
Speaker 1: as much blame for the death of George George Floyd
Speaker 1: as the Minneapolis police officers who actually killed him. You
Speaker 1: can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's listen. We
Speaker 1: didn't have protests last night. We had the will acts,
Speaker 1: but then people mourning the death of this man, George Floyd.
Speaker 1: We had people capitalizing his death is on their hands
Speaker 1: as much as it is those officers. And that is
Speaker 1: a strong statement. But I must say that this civil
Speaker 1: unrest that we're in the midst of, we must turn
Speaker 1: a corner from people who are who are involved in violence.
Speaker 1: I am a business owner and Angelie is a business owner.
Speaker 1: Djm vy as a business owner. As much as I
Speaker 1: don't like seeing people's businesses destroyed, not once has watching
Speaker 1: buildings get destroyed. Not once is watching buildings get set
Speaker 1: on fire traumatized me in any way. I've never gotten
Speaker 1: a panic attack watching the Rolex store get broken into.
Speaker 1: Not once. If I gotten heart papeltations watching folks steal
Speaker 1: some vans. You know why, because I know all that
Speaker 1: material stuff can be replaced, buildings can be repaired, but
Speaker 1: you know it can't be replaced once just stolen from you.
Speaker 1: You guessed it your life for one thousand alex okay.
Speaker 1: Statements like the one LAPD Police Chief Michael Moore made
Speaker 1: are the sole reason there is a Black Lives Matter movie,
Speaker 1: because we have to keep saying it over and over
Speaker 1: and over again in the hopes that you may finally
Speaker 1: understand that black lives do indeed matter, Because, as you
Speaker 1: can see, when looters are being compared to murderers, then
Speaker 1: that means that this full LAPD Police chief Michael Moore
Speaker 1: thinks buildings and black people are on the same level.
Speaker 1: Not to mention, have you ever heard of cause and effect?
Speaker 1: There was no looting, protesting, rioting before George Floyd's murder
Speaker 1: at the hands of the police in Minneapolis. So how
Speaker 1: in the hell did the looters have anything to do
Speaker 1: with George Floyd's death? It isn't okay. One has absolutely
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the other. The only other thing
Speaker 1: contributing to the looting in America is the fact that
Speaker 1: the celebrity in chief, your president, to handle the coronavirus pandemic. Well,
Speaker 1: so forty million people ended up out of work, largest
Speaker 1: unemployment rate since the Great Depression, era, poverty, lack of resources,
Speaker 1: no money, bag stopping. Okay, being broke is what leads
Speaker 1: to looting. You know whose fault that is the president.
Speaker 1: The President should carry as much blamed for the looting
Speaker 1: as the looters because he made this economic mess. Period.
Speaker 1: Now I know what LAPD Police Chief Michael Moore said,
Speaker 1: pished you off. I'm sure it angered you. Well. The
Speaker 1: LAPD had his own meeting. There was a police commission
Speaker 1: that met in wake of all the regional unrests going
Speaker 1: on in the city. And I don't know why this man,
Speaker 1: Jeremy Frisch got invited. I don't know if he hacked
Speaker 1: the system. But Jeremy Frisch got through, and I'm glad
Speaker 1: he did. He had some words for LAPD Police Chief
Speaker 1: Michael Moore drama. I want you to turn the music off. Okay,
Speaker 1: because I love a great read. This is a great read. Okay.
Speaker 1: On a scale of one to kaya talking to Trina,
Speaker 1: this one is about a seven or eight. Let's hear it. Hello,
Speaker 1: can you hear me? Black Lives Matter D fund the police.
Speaker 1: I finally discussing that the LAPD is slaughtering peaceful protesters
Speaker 1: on the street. I had two friends go to the
Speaker 1: protest in Bible Hills in a couple of days ago,
Speaker 1: and the protest was peaceful to the police showed up
Speaker 1: with their excessive violent force, shooting rubber bullets and throwing
Speaker 1: tear gays. Is this what you think of protecting serving?
Speaker 1: Because I think it's post you know, Michael Moore, I
Speaker 1: refused to call you the officer or a chief because
Speaker 1: you don't desert those titles. You're a disgrace. Suck my head,
Speaker 1: choke on it. I yield my time. You drop one
Speaker 1: of clues bombs with Jeremy Frish. That was an amazing
Speaker 1: read word to kid Fury and Crystal, Okay, that was disrespectful.
Speaker 1: He told LAPD Police Chief Michael Moore to suck his
Speaker 1: d and choke on him. How does LAPD Police Chief
Speaker 1: Michael Moore reacted something like that? Do you say, f him,
Speaker 1: he don't know my throat. I would never choke on
Speaker 1: a d. Does he react Jeremy don't know me or
Speaker 1: my gag reflects? Does LAPD Police Chief Michael Moore tell
Speaker 1: Jeremy Fish to put some respect on his throat? How
Speaker 1: do you reply to that kind of read You don't
Speaker 1: because the LAPD Police Chief Michael Moore is wrong and
Speaker 1: that's why he apologized. But we don't care. Please let
Speaker 1: Kathy Griffin give LAPD Police Chief Michael Moore the biggest
Speaker 1: hea hall. Please give this giant jar of male the
Speaker 1: biggest he hall. Okay, I wasn't gonna play a game.
Speaker 1: I guess what race it is, but I think Kathy
Speaker 1: Griffin gave me away. Right, all right, Well, thank you
Speaker 1: for that donkey of the day. Up next, ask Yee

Speaker 1: to ask ye Hello. Who's this? Hello? This is Jake,
Speaker 1: Hey Jay? What's your question for ye? Hey? Good morning,
Speaker 1: Good morning, Um, I just want to ask Angela, how
Speaker 1: do you cope with moving on from your first relationships?
Speaker 1: Like specifically, Like I'm a high school I'm a fresh
Speaker 1: out of high school students, and you know, I was
Speaker 1: dating this girl and we had like good chemistry, but
Speaker 1: life happened and college happened, and we have to go
Speaker 1: our separate ways, right and we're not really on speaking terms.
Speaker 1: And you know, I was always going to ask her, like,
Speaker 1: how do you cope? Okay, Well, so you're fresh out
Speaker 1: of high school. You guys broke up, and this is
Speaker 1: a really difficult time to be breaking up with somebody
Speaker 1: because I know a lot of us are social distancing.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things in the world that we're
Speaker 1: dealing with at the same time. Why did you guys
Speaker 1: break up? It was nothing specific, really, it was just
Speaker 1: we have to take our different path in college, like
Speaker 1: out of date and you know, I was going to
Speaker 1: another country, you know, to spend time with my homeland
Speaker 1: and study there and we kind of lost touch over
Speaker 1: the years. And what's your homeland. I'm just curious where
Speaker 1: are you from. I'm from the Philippines, And okay, the
Speaker 1: girl I was dating, the girl was dating she's of
Speaker 1: Jamaican descent, and she's actually attending University of Virginia. Okay,
Speaker 1: well a few things here. First of all, I know
Speaker 1: sometimes people will say, oh, you guys are high school.
Speaker 1: It's peppy love. But there is, you know, definitely nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with you feeling heartbroken. Do you have any like
Speaker 1: physical chest pains you know that happens sometimes when people
Speaker 1: go through a breakup. Not really, Like I guess it
Speaker 1: was kind of like a shock for me at first,
Speaker 1: Like I was having like you know, like depression like
Speaker 1: symptoms like I can't really focus properly, you know, like
Speaker 1: I would lose focus at times, and I lost like
Speaker 1: interest in some activities. But I did get some help. Okay,
Speaker 1: so you got you went to a therapist. Yeah, through
Speaker 1: a traditional therapist. You know. I started going to the gym,
Speaker 1: and I started having a more plant based diet. Okay.
Speaker 1: So those are positive things that you're doing for yourself
Speaker 1: to help you get through this heartbreak, because you don't
Speaker 1: want to lose sight of things that you need to
Speaker 1: do that's positive for you. And let me tell you something,
Speaker 1: It is perfectly normal to feel that way after a
Speaker 1: breakup and to miss somebody because clearly, you know you
Speaker 1: cared about this person, and so I think what's important
Speaker 1: right now is to make sure that you're in touch
Speaker 1: with friends and family and that they know what you're
Speaker 1: going through, and that you express yourself and that they're
Speaker 1: supportive of you. Do you have good friends and family
Speaker 1: around you? Yes? Absolutely, I keep wying. Okay, And then
Speaker 1: another thing, do you still follow her on social media?
Speaker 1: And do you guys still keep in contact? No, no,
Speaker 1: we don't keep in contact and follow her on social media?
Speaker 1: All right, So take your time. I think it feels
Speaker 1: to me like you've been doing a great job with
Speaker 1: coping and understanding that you are going through something and
Speaker 1: you're very aware, self aware. So it does just take time.
Speaker 1: And you know, they do say that time hills all wounds,
Speaker 1: and that is the truth. As the days go by,
Speaker 1: it feels like you've been feeling better about yourself. Yes,
Speaker 1: And you know, I kind of want to start going
Speaker 1: in on relationships again because I feel like I'm more experienced.
Speaker 1: You know, I learned a lot through that and I
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, like like you said, like we
Speaker 1: were young and you know, trying out new things, and
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes when things go less you kind of
Speaker 1: don't know how to handle it. You don't have any
Speaker 1: you know, coping mechanisms. So I felt like that taught
Speaker 1: me a lot. Well, that's good, and I think that's
Speaker 1: what we should take away from every relationship, even if
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out, you should be you should be
Speaker 1: learning from it so that in the next relationship that
Speaker 1: you're in, you'll be even more experienced. You know better,
Speaker 1: know yourself, better, know what you want in a partner,
Speaker 1: what you don't want in a partner. So you know,

Speaker 1: you for you get some real advice with anthela ye kids,
Speaker 1: ask ye wanting Everybody's dj Envy Angela Yee, Charlottage, the
Speaker 1: guy we all the breakfast club within the middle of
Speaker 1: ask ye, Hello, who's this? This is Lisa? Hey, Lisa?
Speaker 1: What's your question for ye? Hi? Um? So our questions
Speaker 1: for you? First of all, you guys a collective lydy
Speaker 1: Uncle Charlotte as you and Houston had a book signing.
Speaker 1: So I love you guys. Um Antela, yeh. Question My
Speaker 1: question is, Um, yesterday I found out about the march
Speaker 1: in Houston. Um. I lived in Houston for about ten years,
Speaker 1: and so I just moved. And I told my boss
Speaker 1: that bar I was writing an email and I'm like
Speaker 1: a first of fun teller. Then I erased it and
Speaker 1: I just said I had an appointment. Um, I went
Speaker 1: to the market. I feel so much better. I've been
Speaker 1: just playing my role, doing what I can to make
Speaker 1: a change. And so now I'm on my way back
Speaker 1: to work. Out of my kids in my car their sleeves, um,
Speaker 1: and and I just I want to tell her because
Speaker 1: I don't want to put in sick leaves, because I
Speaker 1: need to take a pathnic leaves. Um. So I do
Speaker 1: want to put in like maybe cam time or and
Speaker 1: I do just want to have that conversation because I
Speaker 1: went from Houston working with all black people, works all
Speaker 1: black women as a now I'm in a different city
Speaker 1: and it's I'm the only black woman in the office,
Speaker 1: and I do want to have that conversation. I just
Speaker 1: don't really know what to do. Okay, well, this is
Speaker 1: what I would recommend. So number one, you said you
Speaker 1: had an appointment and you did, so, you didn't lie
Speaker 1: about that you had an appointment. You went to go
Speaker 1: to the rally and absolutely nothing wrong with that. In
Speaker 1: the state of what we're in right now, have they
Speaker 1: had discussions about these things at work, being that you're
Speaker 1: the only black person, No, we have not. I mean
Speaker 1: we've had discussions about rady something, but not recently, and
Speaker 1: you know what's going on. Do you feel your boss
Speaker 1: is open to having these discussions. I do. I do
Speaker 1: feel like say that he is. Okay, So I think
Speaker 1: a positive way to approach this, just because nothing's been
Speaker 1: done wrong here is for you to actually schedule an
Speaker 1: appointment to talk to her and let her know. Look,
Speaker 1: this has been weighing heavy on me obviously. You know
Speaker 1: this is my people in my community, and we are
Speaker 1: all being affected. So I think this is a great
Speaker 1: time for us to take the opportunity to have these discussions,
Speaker 1: even if they're uncomfortable discussions in the office, and we
Speaker 1: would love for us to schedule some time to do that.
Speaker 1: And I can't imagine that she would say no to
Speaker 1: something like that, and I think that you could be
Speaker 1: a great catalyst for that in the office. Okay, I
Speaker 1: think I have alfornity to schedule an appointment, but sir,
Speaker 1: I can definitely do that. Yeah. So, and I think
Speaker 1: that's really really dope. And another discussion you need to
Speaker 1: have is about diversity in your office just because you
Speaker 1: are the only black person and that seems like that
Speaker 1: could be an issue as well. And you know, I
Speaker 1: think we may have just hired and notified person. So
Speaker 1: I'm not sure she didn't quite say, but why she
Speaker 1: was alluding to it. I think it is so. I
Speaker 1: do think they're open, but I do want to have
Speaker 1: that open conversation as well. Yeah, now is the time
Speaker 1: to do it. And Lisa, how was the rally? It
Speaker 1: was great? It was positive, great energy. I brought my
Speaker 1: cousin the law, she brought her sister. It was it
Speaker 1: was a lot of people, it was hot, but the
Speaker 1: energy was great. I got some exercise in. So all right,
Speaker 1: she's breaking up. It sounds like it was much needed. Well,
Speaker 1: so much left to you, Lisa, and a good luck
Speaker 1: at work today. I feel like this is going to
Speaker 1: be a positive discussion for you to have in the office,
Speaker 1: I hope, so asking ye eight on DRID five eight
Speaker 1: five one on five one. If you need relationship advice
Speaker 1: and any type of advice, you could hit YEA any time. Now.
Speaker 1: We got rumors on the way, yes, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: give you an update from earlier. We were talking about
Speaker 1: this show Kimberly and Beck and that show is an
Speaker 1: iHeart show, or should I say was, and they said
Speaker 1: some very nasty and racist things yesterday, and so we
Speaker 1: are going to address what they said and then what
Speaker 1: was the repercussions from that? All right, we'll get into
Speaker 1: that next Keeping locked this the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. This is the rum of report with Angela. Yes. Now,
Speaker 1: we were telling you about this show and a Rochester,
Speaker 1: New York Kimberly and backed their radio show hosts. They
Speaker 1: also were part of iHeart Radio and apparently they have
Speaker 1: been fired already, according to the president of the Upstate
Speaker 1: New York market for iHeartMedia, Robert JA Morrigan, he said,
Speaker 1: we made the decision to terminate Kimberly and Back yesterday
Speaker 1: as soon as we learned of their comments and inform
Speaker 1: them early this morning. We will not tolerate this kind
Speaker 1: of behavior, which is uh, I can't say this word right,
Speaker 1: antithetical to our core values and beliefs and to our
Speaker 1: commitment to our community and everyone in it. So here
Speaker 1: was the discussion that they had after the attack of
Speaker 1: a local couple following the Black Lives Matter protest in
Speaker 1: downtown Rochester. Were they acting and word ish? There's your question.
Speaker 1: They were acting thuggarily like I think the N wordly. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And by the way, you can't say bad, what are
Speaker 1: you doing here? Problem? You know, it's not their fu show.
Speaker 1: If you look like a song and if you act
Speaker 1: like a soga you got read on one. And beating
Speaker 1: up a white woman with a two by four, by god,
Speaker 1: you're a thug. And by the way, there are people
Speaker 1: in the black community would say they're acting anyword, but
Speaker 1: they can say that. You can't say that it's double center.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the double standard. Well, Kimberly, that's
Speaker 1: what you get for being white, Devili, that's what you
Speaker 1: get for cracker being. Being crackerly is a word I
Speaker 1: did just now, you know what I mean. I don't
Speaker 1: care how much you've heard to Chris Rock and words
Speaker 1: versus black people, joker, how much you've heard Uncle ruck
Speaker 1: and saying some heavy niggatry at work. You can't say
Speaker 1: that Kimberly. I don't care that you use it in
Speaker 1: the proper context. And that is also another reminder of
Speaker 1: why DJ Andvy when we first started the Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: putting his contract that he can't get fired over anything
Speaker 1: that I say. That is definitely true. They fired Kimberly
Speaker 1: and Beck. He trying to defend the producer was the
Speaker 1: one that was trying to tell them you can't say
Speaker 1: that I wasn't back oh that the producer. Now, let
Speaker 1: me just say this last I would have truly does
Speaker 1: yeah for whatever new show is coming, So at least
Speaker 1: they always remember they got fired on Blackout Tuesday though,
Speaker 1: So that's dope bombs for God. I like that. Why
Speaker 1: Gee has also shared his new protests anthem after police.
Speaker 1: Now we can't play the hook, but we can't play
Speaker 1: this verse the police. That's how I feel by block,
Speaker 1: burnt down the block, I feel murder out the murder
Speaker 1: after all these years, by strap bus back, after all
Speaker 1: these kids, Maama's crying, How they gonna heal? How you
Speaker 1: will feel? O the side to pick up bitch stick
Speaker 1: is Shiel, big big stick on me. Y'all kill we
Speaker 1: killed being topped up? Call boys sides were in the field.
Speaker 1: It's the boot blucks cobs they don't have mission. It's
Speaker 1: the clucks cops got the genius is true. Won't stop
Speaker 1: open cases. Police already d me Hyn make your rid
Speaker 1: chas city looked like trash to whoever Victor rules, we
Speaker 1: need asks fans man drop on a clus bombs for YG.
Speaker 1: I don't care what nobody said about why Why You've
Speaker 1: been one of my favorite new rappers since he came out.
Speaker 1: Why G gets busy, he makes great albums, he makes
Speaker 1: great songs. Y G is a blessing to the coach.
Speaker 1: I don't give a damn with nobody say I saw
Speaker 1: somebody I was arguing with the other day telling me
Speaker 1: why G was whacked. I'm like, you got your damn mind.
Speaker 1: I forgot who I was debating without debating with somebody
Speaker 1: you don't want in a regular Negro conversation, who it was? Well,
Speaker 1: great part two. This is a great part two to
Speaker 1: his Collaba Nipsey Hustle f dt F Donald Trump. So
Speaker 1: you know I'm all right now, Leah Michelle had from
Speaker 1: Glee has had to apologize and she also lost her
Speaker 1: endorsement with Hello Fresh, and that is for her past behavior. Now.
Speaker 1: You know, she tweeted the other day in support of
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, and things went left. She had said
Speaker 1: that she was supporting George Floyd in the Black Lives
Speaker 1: Matter movement. But that's when one of her Glee co stars,
Speaker 1: Samantha Marie Ware, accused her of torment her on the
Speaker 1: set of Glee, and she said that she doesn't remember
Speaker 1: ever making specific statements. You know that it was said
Speaker 1: that she said. According to Samantha Ware, she said that
Speaker 1: Leah Michelle said, LMAO, remember when you made my first
Speaker 1: television gig a living hell, because I'll never forget. I
Speaker 1: believe you told everyone that if you had the opportunity,
Speaker 1: you would issh in my wig, amongst other traumatic microaggressions
Speaker 1: that made me question a career in Hollywood. So she
Speaker 1: was called out for her hypocrisy, and you know, things
Speaker 1: just spiraled from there. A lot of people were talking
Speaker 1: about their own experiences. Now Leah Michelle has apologized. She said,
Speaker 1: what matters is that I clearly acted in ways which
Speaker 1: hurt other people. One of the most important lessons of
Speaker 1: the last few weeks is that we need to take
Speaker 1: the time to listen and learn about other people's perspectives
Speaker 1: and any role we have played or anything we can
Speaker 1: do to help address the injustices that they faced. When
Speaker 1: I twitted the other day was meant to be a
Speaker 1: show of support, she said, Well, I don't remember ever
Speaker 1: making this specific statement, and I have never judged other
Speaker 1: by their background or color of their skin. That's not
Speaker 1: really the point. What matters is that I clearly acted
Speaker 1: in ways which hurt other people. So she did acknowledge
Speaker 1: it with her privileged position and perspective that caused her
Speaker 1: to be perceived as insensitive or inappropriate at times. All
Speaker 1: right now, following that, BT founder Robert Johnson is calling
Speaker 1: for fourteen trillion dollars in reparations from slavery, and he
Speaker 1: said he wants to send a signal to white Americans
Speaker 1: to acknowledge that damages are owed for the unequal playing
Speaker 1: field that has been created due to slavery. Here is
Speaker 1: what Robert Johnson said. I am convinced that the problems
Speaker 1: that we confront today can be solved, but it takes
Speaker 1: a big bone action and fourteen trillion dollars in reparation,
Speaker 1: but damages visit upon the airs of slaves is an
Speaker 1: appropriate statement. Listen, og, Bob not wrong. Nothing good gonna
Speaker 1: come to America and the atone for the city into slavery.
Speaker 1: So yes, America has to do that through legislation and reparations.
Speaker 1: The black community needs an economic justice package. America absolutely
Speaker 1: has the means to dedicate capital to the rebuilding of
Speaker 1: all communities. And that's just another step in the divine
Speaker 1: direction to dismantling white supremacy. I mean, they printed up
Speaker 1: the money last time. They printed up the money last
Speaker 1: time so they could print up the money. Now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I talked to Bob hit me this week. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have Bob on tomorrow. Og Bob Johnson gonna he gonna gonna,
Speaker 1: He's gonna pull up on the breakfast club via zoom.

Speaker 1: didn't record it. Somebody was recording me with it. I
Speaker 1: mean I took it in there just I was feeling
Speaker 1: the word, that's all. I'm sure scripts did not want
Speaker 1: they was running from them that that paper. I'm feel
Speaker 1: that's your census. Yet we've been did the sentence yeah
Speaker 1: a long time. That's want to make sure because some
Speaker 1: people still haven't done it and you still can. So
Speaker 1: that's why I'm asking if we did. A couple of
Speaker 1: months ago, I was posting from Evett Clark and UM
Speaker 1: in Flatbush where I'm from, only sixty five percent of
Speaker 1: the people they are filled out the census. So I
Speaker 1: just want to encourage people who have not yet filled
Speaker 1: out their senses, please make sure you do all right.
Speaker 1: Well when we come back. We got the positive notice
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is stej Envy,

Speaker 1: you got a positive note for the people. I do. Man,
Speaker 1: This comes out of my Black Pearls book. I have
Speaker 1: a book called Black Pearls. It's daily meditations, affirmations, and
Speaker 1: inspirations for African Americans. And today's affirmation is encouragement. We
Speaker 1: can rarely expect ourselves and others to fall in line
Speaker 1: of the command. What we can do is encourage, motivate,
Speaker 1: and allow opportunities for the spirit to flourish. We need
Speaker 1: to show our children the world's possibilities, giving them a
Speaker 1: chance to become aware and excited about their own talents
Speaker 1: and interest. We need to give our loved ones time,
Speaker 1: spatient emotional support so they can get in touch with
Speaker 1: their passions excitement as contagious commands are a drag. So
Speaker 1: on this day, pledge to encourage and support friends and
Speaker 1: other black folks in their endeavors. Breakfast Club, you know
Speaker 1: I'm finish for y'all, dumb
