Charlottagne is 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:11.319 off from work today. I feel like all three of 0:00:11.440 --> 0:00:13.120 us have not been in the same place at once. 0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:16.000 So there you have it, and a lot of activity 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:17.799 over the weekend.

I saw them 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.800 on the float out here. I think, what's the last 0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.240 time they had a Puerto Rican Day parade? It's been 0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:33.080 a minute, right, Oh, they had it last year. Thought 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.839 they didn't have it last year for some reason in 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:37.479 my head with COVID and everything, and it wasn't a 0:00:37.560 --> 0:00:40.760 lot of things going on. But all right, everybody's talking 0:00:40.760 --> 0:00:42.519 about COVID and how it might just be like the 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.360 common cold and all the different variants. Oh hey, Envy, 0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:50.519 welcome back to work. He's just strolling in here.

There's no intern So you went to 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:12.800 the bathroom and you went to get something to eat. 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:14.840 But that took you two minutes. It was fast, it 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.319 was quick. It doesn't add up, goodness, gracious, well, you 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.520 know you don't have up. Well, Charlemagne is out. So um, 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.360 if you want to give donkey to day to somebody, 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:24.640 you can eight hundred five a five, one on five 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.240 one whoever you want to give donkey to your mom 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.280 or your daddy, your baby daddy, somebody you work with, 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:30.880 a friend, or it doesn't matter whoever you want to 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:32.800 give donkey of the day to eight hundred five a 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.240 five one on five. You said that's Gay Pride month, 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:39.759 he says, Charlemagne is out talking about that. All right, Well, 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:41.840 we got rumors on the way where we're talking about yes, 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:43.759 and we are going to be talking about Roddy Rich. 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.360 You know he was arrested for gun possession. We'll tell 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:47.840 you what happened. All right, we'll get into that next. 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:57.280 It's to Breakfast Club, Go Morning. It's about Report Angela 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.920 the Breakfast Club. Well, Justin Bieber posted a video to 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.160 let people know why he's not able to perform. He's 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:07.920 had to postpone his tour, and it's because he has 0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:12.200 a rare neurological disorder that can cause facial paralysis called 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.040 Ramsey Hunt syndrome. Here's what he said. As you can 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:20.800 probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:28.000 Ramsey Hunt syndrome, and it is from this virus that 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.440 attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.240 and has caused my face to have paralysis. So for 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:40.959 those who are frustrated by my cancelations of the next shows, 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:47.320 I'm just physically obviously not capable of doing them, but 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.840 obviously my body's telling me I got to slow down. 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.520 I'm doing all these facial exercises to get my face 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.000 back to normal. It's just time, and we don't know 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.359 how much time that's going to be. It's a compaca 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:03.000 from the same virus that causes shingles and chicken pox, 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.280 and you can get rashes around your face. Hearing laws 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.560 one side of face of paralysis. They said, it typically 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.440 takes about three weeks to fully recover, and it's mostly 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.760 in adults over sixty and rarely as it experienced by children. 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.080 They said, Oddly, I know two people that this has 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.720 actually happened to. It took longer than three weeks. One 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.239 person that took three weeks for it to heal, and 0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.239 the other person took months, and then after they finally 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.960 started to heal from it, they actually got COVID. So 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:27.880 I know two people that has actually happened to. And 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.800 like you said that the side of your face is 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.600 pretty much paralyzed, Like we can't but your eye looks crazy. 0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.520 You can't move, it's hard to chew, it's crazy. Yeah, 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:38.040 he said, it's been hard for him to eat. I 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.720 know people who have bells palsy, but I've never heard 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.040 of ramsy bells palsy. That's that's been like one. It's 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.120 another kind of like I guess I'm mysel disordered with 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.520 one side of your face. Okay, you know, maybe that's 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.240 what they had. Maybe they didn't have. Yeah, I think 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.480 that's a lot more kind that's what they had. Bells pausy. 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.720 Stuff that's never good, but I heard, you know, paralyzed 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.280 on half of your face. I thought that was yeah, 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:01.240 that's bells Paus. Sorry for the people that I know 0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:05.119 because I just gave you a disease something else. Sorry, 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.120 all right now, Saucy Santana. There were some tweets that 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:13.600 resurfaced about Beyonce and Blue Ivy. So somebody had and 0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.160 these are old tweets from twenty fourteen. Somebody, I just 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.680 want to be Blue Ivy and he responded, nappy headed 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.040 or and then somebody else said, I'm sorry, but Northwest 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.880 clear as Blue Ivy has several car seats blue and 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:29.480 he responded, just said this yesterday. Then people were coming 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:34.080 for him on social media, and Saucy Santana was very 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:35.839 clear to be the people in a comments trying to 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:37.919 force you to apologize or say sorry to who, to 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.080 y'all if I did something to offense him, when I 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:43.360 should apologize to them?

Okay, Yeah, he didn't 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:26.200 even check with her. She he just did it without 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.760 even checking in with her. She had no idea. Well 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.680 she had him. I did, because she said he the lady, 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.920 I already got a bad the relationship with him. To 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.520 have a bad relationship, they had to meet at some point. No, 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.760 she said that she did not even know until he 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:40.920 told her after she came back after he everybody took 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.080 her child over there. Well, stop giving bad advice. She 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.120 I don't know if that was bad advice. I don't know. 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.280 I don't know if it's okay for somebody that's randomly 0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:49.800 take my child at some woman's house who don't like me. Hey, 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:52.440 I wasn't paying attention, all right, get it off your 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:55.160 chest eight und five eight five one oh five one. 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.000 If you need to vent, you convent at any time 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.959 now when we come back, test figure Roa will be 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.199 joining us. It don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:14.120 the Breakfast clubj Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.520 are the Breakfast Club. We got special guests in the building. 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.800 The host of this great shot No Chase, the podcast 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:26.079 on the Black Effect, I Heeart Radio podcast network, tes Whisper. 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.640 I didn't say, I thought I said the hood Whisper. Okay, 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.800 I'm sorry. The Hood Whisper with Teslin is here, man. 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.160 And you know there's nobody that breaks down politics in 0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:39.920 a digestible way that the regular, everyday average hood can 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:44.240 understand like Teslin. So tell us about this January sixth 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.199 hearing Committee. Why all of a sudden is all is 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.559 pumping circumstance. It's all over TV, it's all over the news. 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:52.680 What are they trying to get out of this? That's 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.240 a great question, probably more a better question for our 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.520 elected officials. We do know that everything is strategic when 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:00.640 we look at me terms and things coming up and 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:02.680 bumping that back up. I actually believe though they have 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.400 been investigating and looking at the data and looking at 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.920 the facts and going through the information that is a 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.839 long process. Not making excuses, because you know, I don't 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.840 make excuses politicians at all, but a lot of the 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.960 evidence gathering, I do believe, you know, took longer, even 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:20.599 though we can see with our eyes what happened, just 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.360 like when we talk about police reform, police brutality, we 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.960 see what happens, but there's still evidence that has to 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:27.960 come into that. But to be honest with you, and 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.920 you know me personally, the January sixth thing to me 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.120 was just white folks, wife folking. I mean, just to 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.959 be honest, you and I we talk a lot about that. 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:37.680 That has not been one of the things that I've 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.640 just been following. Just to be honest with you, I'm 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:43.600 more concerned with the issues of Black America, and I 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.480 just believe that most black folks, even though I know 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.720 that is a you know, what they did can lead 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.760 to other things, most black folks are not really talking 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:56.040 about January six probably the way that some people think 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.000 that they should, because it's just not effecting their everyday life. 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.640 So it's just not something that I just why are 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.000 you investigating? And That's what I'm confused by, because You've 0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:06.920 got a lot of them that would have been convicted already, 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:08.680 so why are they investing what are they trying to 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.520 put Yeah, numbers of Congress that they said could possibly 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.720 have been involved. True. No, Well, somebody always is involved. 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:18.079 It's a system. That's why we call it systematic racism. 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.559 It's never just one person or damn show not when 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.560 it's time for black folks to go to jail, Like 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.679 what crime be able to be exact, It's always a conspiracy. 0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:29.120 It's always somebody that is behind somebody and behind somebody 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.560 the kids. The question is really getting down, you know, 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:34.960 getting that information, getting down to it having effects to 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:38.040 actually prosecute and win. Um. I don't really have a 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.679 lot of faith in that process, to be honest with you, 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:42.720 I don't have a lot of faith in the system itself. 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.480 So as far as I'm concerned, wife folks, wife folcus 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.640 has about my only comment I have on that. Well, 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:50.440 you don't have any faith in the system. But the 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.760 midterms is right around the corner. Yeah, should Democrats have 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:57.160 any faith that they gonna keep the House in the Senate? 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.160 Oh no, they're gonna get slaughtered. Wow, that's just the 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:03.120 bottom line, very similar to my hand. They're gonna get slaughter. Period. 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:07.000 In a discussion. But I've been talking about publicans. I 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:12.480 talked about it like no, no, no, it's a complete 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.920 wife out like but again, this was the sweep that 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:19.520 happened in twenty and ten when I left the Democrat Party. Um, 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.240 and a lot of folks just weren't paying attention. I 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.280 say all the time, Trump was the best and worst 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:24.960 thing to meet. It happened to black people because people 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:27.600 started paying attention. I've been talking about this for years. 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.400 A lot of people have, but I'm just saying my 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.560 own personal story. I got the tapes to prove it. 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.400 When I left the Democrat Party in two thousand and 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.480 ten is because they up after two thousand and eight. 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.280 You had the motivation, you had the movement, You had 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.720 all of this energy, and you did nothing with it. 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.840 So what Trump did, because he made it entertaining, he 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.920 made it a reality show. Folks started paying attention. And 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.160 so after you saw Trump doing all the stuff that 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.760 yes was fascist, yes, and abuse of the constitution. Now 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.080 people saying with Joe Biden, why you why can't you 0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:56.120 do it? Why don't you get gangs to like that? 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:59.360 He even said, I believe earlier this week or last week. Yeah, 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:01.240 I don't want to abuse was a constitution that way? Well, 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:03.160 we want you to use a constitution in that way. 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:05.640 At the end of the day, you have to or 0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:10.120 you should. You owe your voters something for their vote. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.640 And the problem I tell people with this and people say, oh, 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.520 give him time and he can't do this and do that, 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.480 Then why did you lie about it while you're running? 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.600 That's my main thing. Nobody asked you to volunteer a life. 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:22.520 Nobody you know, I talk about it often being in 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:24.800 the family, of being in the room when he called 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.960 George Floyd's family, Nobody in the family said hey, can 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.080 you pass legislation? You know, what are you gonna do? 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:34.120 He volunteered that life. So when you run for office, 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.600 like always talk about pimps, politicians and pastors have a 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.560 very similar speech. The way they give me, you us 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.440 when you volunteer that life and then you do not 0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:44.760 deliver and then you say, well I can't do it. Well, 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:47.040 you knew that when you volunteer at the lite. Joe 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.840 Biden's been in office for forty plus years. He knows 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.520 he needs Congress. You know that. So if you knew that, 0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:55.280 why didn't you say that? But the pimp game is 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:59.640 all about tapping into folks emotions making them believe in 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.880 this that doesn't exist, instead of being realistic. They still 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:05.200 have not figured out that if you deal with somebody's 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:06.880 straight shot, no chase, if you give it to him 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:08.880 real and say, you know what, I can't really do this, 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:11.240 but I'm gonna do that, and you just and you 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.400 set the expectations realistic people say, Okay, that makes sense. 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:18.160 It's the blatant, flat out lie and Joe Biden again, 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.040 I don't give it them who don't like it. Joe 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:25.440 Biden used that year where emotions were very high because 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:27.560 of twenty and twenty, you know, with all of the 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.280 protests going on everywhere because of COVID, and he used 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:32.840 that as an opportunity to win because he's ran two 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.560 times before that. And so my issue with that, it's 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.160 just it's really just the honesty, Charlotteagne. It's the volunteer life. 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.680 I mean, nothing worse than how do you tell people 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.640 that at this day and age to go out and vote? Right? Yeah, 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:45.600 because what are you telling? What do you tell them? 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:47.440 Because I mean, you see what's happened, and you see 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:48.840 every time we will go out there and vote. It 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:51.760 seems like when they getting off they change sides immediately. Well, 0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.680 my thing is and Glade brought that up with one 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.560 of the things I'm here to talk about. Texts six 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:59.560 six eight six six texts push the line. What I 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.680 have to out it to do what I've done for years, 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:03.800 training hundreds of folks every year. This time we're going 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:08.080 to do it in Atlanta, Georgia, September tenth, the Beautiful 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.480 Cops Center. Nobody has to pay a dime, not even 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.399 for your lunch. I want to train about three hundred 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:16.800 people candidate's operatives and organizers in order to run your city. 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.800 So to answer a question, I don't tell people who 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.560 to vote for. I don't tell them what party to 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.280 align themselves with. I am independent. What I do is 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:27.000 say get in the game and do something. And so 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:29.840 to me, that is on the local and the state level, 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.439 the federal level, it is what it is the end 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:34.400 of the day. The local and state really does matter. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:38.000 Your city commissioner, you know, your state rep. Your state senator, 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:40.880 not us, your mayor. You're talking about five or six 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.040 people typically in small cities that make decisions. And so 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.399 when you have influenced there and you can show that, hey, 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:48.360 I can organize a thousand people, I can get five 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.120 hundred people, you know, to align with my message. That's 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.359 where you know you're able to give more of a result. 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:57.919 So to me, it's not about necessarily just voting. It's 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.000 who you're voting for. And so I tell the home 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:01.840 all the time, if you don't like how they move it, 0:18:02.240 --> 0:18:04.560 then let's stop chasing them and replace them getting the game. 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:07.280 Run for precinct, chair, run for dog catch. I don't 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.600 give it them. What it is, do something. And so 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:11.160 as long as you're doing that, even if you're doing 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:14.080 it to be a disruptor, everybody's not gonna win. The 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.399 first session that I'm doing is teaching you how do 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.880 you define your win. It can't just be about to win. 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:20.879 It could be to disrupt, It could be to have 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:22.879 a movement, it could be to get a message out, 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:25.760 whatever it is. I've worked with countless candidates who have 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:29.960 won with nothing in their pocket, felons arrested multiple times 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:33.120 because they got out there and hustle. Your hustle will 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.720 beat an incumbent if you're out there doing what you 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:37.720 should be doing. So that's what I'm about I'm trying 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.359 to get people organize it. I'm tired of talking people about, 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:42.040 oh we gotta do this and do that. Tired of 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:43.960 talking about the federal level. Let's talk about the state 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:45.600 and the local. All right, we have more with Teslin 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:47.760 figure Ro when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. 0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:52.560 Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.720 the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking 0:18:54.760 --> 0:18:57.800 it with Teslain figure Rot Charlomagne. So why should you 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:02.000 know black people, young voters, like, why should we be 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.439 encouraged to vote in the mid terms? Are even in 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:08.560 twenty twenty four? Like, yeah, I'll talk about so we 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.119 have voter suppression and then we have voter depression and 0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:13.720 some people are just simply not encouraged to vote. I 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:15.720 mean period, they don't see the difference in their life. 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:20.119
