Speaker 1: excited on a Monday. Now once again, Envy has disappeared.
Speaker 1: I don't know why he keeps doing that. Charlottagne is
Speaker 1: off from work today. I feel like all three of
Speaker 1: us have not been in the same place at once.
Speaker 1: So there you have it, and a lot of activity
Speaker 1: over the weekend. I know there were a lot of
Speaker 1: events going down. The Puerto Rican Day parade happened. Shout
Speaker 1: out to Angie Martinez and Fat Joe. I saw them
Speaker 1: on the float out here. I think, what's the last
Speaker 1: time they had a Puerto Rican Day parade? It's been
Speaker 1: a minute, right, Oh, they had it last year. Thought
Speaker 1: they didn't have it last year for some reason in
Speaker 1: my head with COVID and everything, and it wasn't a
Speaker 1: lot of things going on. But all right, everybody's talking
Speaker 1: about COVID and how it might just be like the
Speaker 1: common cold and all the different variants. Oh hey, Envy,
Speaker 1: welcome back to work. He's just strolling in here. Why
Speaker 1: would you wait until right when we're going back up
Speaker 1: when you were the main one that said you were
Speaker 1: gone way longer than two minutes. Two minutes, right, what's
Speaker 1: he gone longer than two minutes. Yeah, my bad. I
Speaker 1: want to give my water my cliffball guy just came strolling. Hey,

Speaker 1: the bathroom and you went to get something to eat.

Speaker 1: It's to Breakfast Club, Go Morning. It's about Report Angela
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Well, Justin Bieber posted a video to
Speaker 1: let people know why he's not able to perform. He's
Speaker 1: had to postpone his tour, and it's because he has
Speaker 1: a rare neurological disorder that can cause facial paralysis called
Speaker 1: Ramsey Hunt syndrome. Here's what he said. As you can
Speaker 1: probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called
Speaker 1: Ramsey Hunt syndrome, and it is from this virus that
Speaker 1: attacks the nerve in my ear and my facial nerves
Speaker 1: and has caused my face to have paralysis. So for
Speaker 1: those who are frustrated by my cancelations of the next shows,
Speaker 1: I'm just physically obviously not capable of doing them, but
Speaker 1: obviously my body's telling me I got to slow down.
Speaker 1: I'm doing all these facial exercises to get my face
Speaker 1: back to normal. It's just time, and we don't know
Speaker 1: how much time that's going to be. It's a compaca
Speaker 1: from the same virus that causes shingles and chicken pox,
Speaker 1: and you can get rashes around your face. Hearing laws
Speaker 1: one side of face of paralysis. They said, it typically
Speaker 1: takes about three weeks to fully recover, and it's mostly
Speaker 1: in adults over sixty and rarely as it experienced by children.
Speaker 1: They said, Oddly, I know two people that this has
Speaker 1: actually happened to. It took longer than three weeks. One
Speaker 1: person that took three weeks for it to heal, and
Speaker 1: the other person took months, and then after they finally
Speaker 1: started to heal from it, they actually got COVID. So
Speaker 1: I know two people that has actually happened to. And
Speaker 1: like you said that the side of your face is
Speaker 1: pretty much paralyzed, Like we can't but your eye looks crazy.
Speaker 1: You can't move, it's hard to chew, it's crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he said, it's been hard for him to eat. I
Speaker 1: know people who have bells palsy, but I've never heard
Speaker 1: of ramsy bells palsy. That's that's been like one. It's
Speaker 1: another kind of like I guess I'm mysel disordered with
Speaker 1: one side of your face. Okay, you know, maybe that's
Speaker 1: what they had. Maybe they didn't have. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: that's a lot more kind that's what they had. Bells pausy.
Speaker 1: Stuff that's never good, but I heard, you know, paralyzed
Speaker 1: on half of your face. I thought that was yeah,
Speaker 1: that's bells Paus. Sorry for the people that I know
Speaker 1: because I just gave you a disease something else. Sorry,
Speaker 1: all right now, Saucy Santana. There were some tweets that
Speaker 1: resurfaced about Beyonce and Blue Ivy. So somebody had and
Speaker 1: these are old tweets from twenty fourteen. Somebody, I just
Speaker 1: want to be Blue Ivy and he responded, nappy headed
Speaker 1: or and then somebody else said, I'm sorry, but Northwest
Speaker 1: clear as Blue Ivy has several car seats blue and
Speaker 1: he responded, just said this yesterday. Then people were coming
Speaker 1: for him on social media, and Saucy Santana was very
Speaker 1: clear to be the people in a comments trying to
Speaker 1: force you to apologize or say sorry to who, to
Speaker 1: y'all if I did something to offense him, when I
Speaker 1: should apologize to them? Not you bitches, told y'all y'all
Speaker 1: think got power over people, but go ahead, and then
Speaker 1: he said, stop all that cap trying to ruin people's
Speaker 1: careers because you were at home miserable and broke. I
Speaker 1: was miserable and broke two making childish, hateful tweets in
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, I'm twenty eight years old, a grown ass adult,
Speaker 1: a completely different mindset on life from when I was twenty.
Speaker 1: But y'all knew that celebrities are human, not robots, and
Speaker 1: they for damn sure ain't perfect. I still talk about it.
Speaker 1: It's like a dog to this day, not publicly because
Speaker 1: my opinion matters to a lot of people. Now i'd
Speaker 1: be telling I don't even insert myself an ish that
Speaker 1: don't involve me. You're gonna leave Saucy alone. And then
Speaker 1: he said, fake woke as bitches. People don't care about
Speaker 1: old tweets. The Internet have this weird thing with power,
Speaker 1: thinking they have the power to cancel someone. News flash,
Speaker 1: you don't. You'll be thinking, y'all have someone by the
Speaker 1: balls about situations you don't give a damn about. And
Speaker 1: Saucy Santana, by the way, it was also performing in
Speaker 1: Houston over the weekend. And here's how it went. He
Speaker 1: was doing the dance and Houston they was going crazy.
Speaker 1: We didn't hear nobody booing, right, show him out to

Speaker 1: now when we come back, test figure Roa will be
Speaker 1: joining us. It don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast clubj Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. We got special guests in the building.
Speaker 1: The host of this great shot No Chase, the podcast
Speaker 1: on the Black Effect, I Heeart Radio podcast network, tes Whisper.
Speaker 1: I didn't say, I thought I said the hood Whisper. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The Hood Whisper with Teslin is here, man.
Speaker 1: And you know there's nobody that breaks down politics in
Speaker 1: a digestible way that the regular, everyday average hood can
Speaker 1: understand like Teslin. So tell us about this January sixth
Speaker 1: hearing Committee. Why all of a sudden is all is
Speaker 1: pumping circumstance. It's all over TV, it's all over the news.
Speaker 1: What are they trying to get out of this? That's
Speaker 1: a great question, probably more a better question for our
Speaker 1: elected officials. We do know that everything is strategic when
Speaker 1: we look at me terms and things coming up and
Speaker 1: bumping that back up. I actually believe though they have
Speaker 1: been investigating and looking at the data and looking at
Speaker 1: the facts and going through the information that is a
Speaker 1: long process. Not making excuses, because you know, I don't
Speaker 1: make excuses politicians at all, but a lot of the
Speaker 1: evidence gathering, I do believe, you know, took longer, even
Speaker 1: though we can see with our eyes what happened, just
Speaker 1: like when we talk about police reform, police brutality, we
Speaker 1: see what happens, but there's still evidence that has to
Speaker 1: come into that. But to be honest with you, and
Speaker 1: you know me personally, the January sixth thing to me
Speaker 1: was just white folks, wife folking. I mean, just to
Speaker 1: be honest, you and I we talk a lot about that.
Speaker 1: That has not been one of the things that I've
Speaker 1: just been following. Just to be honest with you, I'm
Speaker 1: more concerned with the issues of Black America, and I
Speaker 1: just believe that most black folks, even though I know
Speaker 1: that is a you know, what they did can lead
Speaker 1: to other things, most black folks are not really talking
Speaker 1: about January six probably the way that some people think
Speaker 1: that they should, because it's just not effecting their everyday life.
Speaker 1: So it's just not something that I just why are
Speaker 1: you investigating? And That's what I'm confused by, because You've
Speaker 1: got a lot of them that would have been convicted already,
Speaker 1: so why are they investing what are they trying to
Speaker 1: put Yeah, numbers of Congress that they said could possibly
Speaker 1: have been involved. True. No, Well, somebody always is involved.
Speaker 1: It's a system. That's why we call it systematic racism.
Speaker 1: It's never just one person or damn show not when
Speaker 1: it's time for black folks to go to jail, Like
Speaker 1: what crime be able to be exact, It's always a conspiracy.
Speaker 1: It's always somebody that is behind somebody and behind somebody
Speaker 1: the kids. The question is really getting down, you know,
Speaker 1: getting that information, getting down to it having effects to
Speaker 1: actually prosecute and win. Um. I don't really have a
Speaker 1: lot of faith in that process, to be honest with you,
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of faith in the system itself.
Speaker 1: So as far as I'm concerned, wife folks, wife folcus
Speaker 1: has about my only comment I have on that. Well,
Speaker 1: you don't have any faith in the system. But the
Speaker 1: midterms is right around the corner. Yeah, should Democrats have
Speaker 1: any faith that they gonna keep the House in the Senate?
Speaker 1: Oh no, they're gonna get slaughtered. Wow, that's just the
Speaker 1: bottom line, very similar to my hand. They're gonna get slaughter. Period.
Speaker 1: In a discussion. But I've been talking about publicans. I
Speaker 1: talked about it like no, no, no, it's a complete
Speaker 1: wife out like but again, this was the sweep that
Speaker 1: happened in twenty and ten when I left the Democrat Party. Um,
Speaker 1: and a lot of folks just weren't paying attention. I
Speaker 1: say all the time, Trump was the best and worst
Speaker 1: thing to meet. It happened to black people because people
Speaker 1: started paying attention. I've been talking about this for years.
Speaker 1: A lot of people have, but I'm just saying my
Speaker 1: own personal story. I got the tapes to prove it.
Speaker 1: When I left the Democrat Party in two thousand and
Speaker 1: ten is because they up after two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1: You had the motivation, you had the movement, You had
Speaker 1: all of this energy, and you did nothing with it.
Speaker 1: So what Trump did, because he made it entertaining, he
Speaker 1: made it a reality show. Folks started paying attention. And
Speaker 1: so after you saw Trump doing all the stuff that
Speaker 1: yes was fascist, yes, and abuse of the constitution. Now
Speaker 1: people saying with Joe Biden, why you why can't you
Speaker 1: do it? Why don't you get gangs to like that?
Speaker 1: He even said, I believe earlier this week or last week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't want to abuse was a constitution that way? Well,
Speaker 1: we want you to use a constitution in that way.
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, you have to or
Speaker 1: you should. You owe your voters something for their vote.
Speaker 1: And the problem I tell people with this and people say, oh,
Speaker 1: give him time and he can't do this and do that,
Speaker 1: Then why did you lie about it while you're running?
Speaker 1: That's my main thing. Nobody asked you to volunteer a life.
Speaker 1: Nobody you know, I talk about it often being in
Speaker 1: the family, of being in the room when he called
Speaker 1: George Floyd's family, Nobody in the family said hey, can
Speaker 1: you pass legislation? You know, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1: He volunteered that life. So when you run for office,
Speaker 1: like always talk about pimps, politicians and pastors have a
Speaker 1: very similar speech. The way they give me, you us
Speaker 1: when you volunteer that life and then you do not
Speaker 1: deliver and then you say, well I can't do it. Well,
Speaker 1: you knew that when you volunteer at the lite. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden's been in office for forty plus years. He knows
Speaker 1: he needs Congress. You know that. So if you knew that,
Speaker 1: why didn't you say that? But the pimp game is
Speaker 1: all about tapping into folks emotions making them believe in
Speaker 1: this that doesn't exist, instead of being realistic. They still
Speaker 1: have not figured out that if you deal with somebody's
Speaker 1: straight shot, no chase, if you give it to him
Speaker 1: real and say, you know what, I can't really do this,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do that, and you just and you
Speaker 1: set the expectations realistic people say, Okay, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: It's the blatant, flat out lie and Joe Biden again,
Speaker 1: I don't give it them who don't like it. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden used that year where emotions were very high because
Speaker 1: of twenty and twenty, you know, with all of the
Speaker 1: protests going on everywhere because of COVID, and he used
Speaker 1: that as an opportunity to win because he's ran two
Speaker 1: times before that. And so my issue with that, it's
Speaker 1: just it's really just the honesty, Charlotteagne. It's the volunteer life.
Speaker 1: I mean, nothing worse than how do you tell people
Speaker 1: that at this day and age to go out and vote? Right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because what are you telling? What do you tell them?
Speaker 1: Because I mean, you see what's happened, and you see
Speaker 1: every time we will go out there and vote. It
Speaker 1: seems like when they getting off they change sides immediately. Well,
Speaker 1: my thing is and Glade brought that up with one
Speaker 1: of the things I'm here to talk about. Texts six
Speaker 1: six eight six six texts push the line. What I
Speaker 1: have to out it to do what I've done for years,
Speaker 1: training hundreds of folks every year. This time we're going
Speaker 1: to do it in Atlanta, Georgia, September tenth, the Beautiful
Speaker 1: Cops Center. Nobody has to pay a dime, not even
Speaker 1: for your lunch. I want to train about three hundred
Speaker 1: people candidate's operatives and organizers in order to run your city.
Speaker 1: So to answer a question, I don't tell people who
Speaker 1: to vote for. I don't tell them what party to
Speaker 1: align themselves with. I am independent. What I do is
Speaker 1: say get in the game and do something. And so
Speaker 1: to me, that is on the local and the state level,
Speaker 1: the federal level, it is what it is the end
Speaker 1: of the day. The local and state really does matter.
Speaker 1: Your city commissioner, you know, your state rep. Your state senator,
Speaker 1: not us, your mayor. You're talking about five or six
Speaker 1: people typically in small cities that make decisions. And so
Speaker 1: when you have influenced there and you can show that, hey,
Speaker 1: I can organize a thousand people, I can get five
Speaker 1: hundred people, you know, to align with my message. That's
Speaker 1: where you know you're able to give more of a result.
Speaker 1: So to me, it's not about necessarily just voting. It's
Speaker 1: who you're voting for. And so I tell the home
Speaker 1: all the time, if you don't like how they move it,
Speaker 1: then let's stop chasing them and replace them getting the game.
Speaker 1: Run for precinct, chair, run for dog catch. I don't
Speaker 1: give it them. What it is, do something. And so
Speaker 1: as long as you're doing that, even if you're doing
Speaker 1: it to be a disruptor, everybody's not gonna win. The
Speaker 1: first session that I'm doing is teaching you how do
Speaker 1: you define your win. It can't just be about to win.
Speaker 1: It could be to disrupt, It could be to have
Speaker 1: a movement, it could be to get a message out,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I've worked with countless candidates who have
Speaker 1: won with nothing in their pocket, felons arrested multiple times
Speaker 1: because they got out there and hustle. Your hustle will
Speaker 1: beat an incumbent if you're out there doing what you
Speaker 1: should be doing. So that's what I'm about I'm trying
Speaker 1: to get people organize it. I'm tired of talking people about,
Speaker 1: oh we gotta do this and do that. Tired of
Speaker 1: talking about the federal level. Let's talk about the state
Speaker 1: and the local. All right, we have more with Teslin
Speaker 1: figure Ro when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne
Speaker 1: the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking
Speaker 1: it with Teslain figure Rot Charlomagne. So why should you
Speaker 1: know black people, young voters, like, why should we be
Speaker 1: encouraged to vote in the mid terms? Are even in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four? Like, yeah, I'll talk about so we
Speaker 1: have voter suppression and then we have voter depression and
Speaker 1: some people are just simply not encouraged to vote. I
Speaker 1: mean period, they don't see the difference in their life.
Speaker 1: But I encourage people, though, to talk to your city
Speaker 1: council person. Why are they not making the difference in
Speaker 1: your life. They're the ones that have access to be
Speaker 1: able to fund a lot of your nonprofits. They are
Speaker 1: the ones that have access to be able to keep
Speaker 1: the city clean, the potholes, you know, keep regulations reasonable.
Speaker 1: So that people can afford, you know, to live in
Speaker 1: their city. So when these city council people get off
Speaker 1: with not having to be accountable because they're busy talking
Speaker 1: about Trump, when your state rep, not your US Rep.
Speaker 1: When your state Rep is able to talk about these
Speaker 1: large issues like abortion or January six or all of
Speaker 1: these things that they know damn well they don't have
Speaker 1: any impact on, and you're not asking them, how come
Speaker 1: you didn't fund, you know, our football football program, how
Speaker 1: come you didn't find our basketball program. When you're not
Speaker 1: getting down to your actual local representative, you're not seeing
Speaker 1: a difference, and they're getting by with basically scamming you.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, not everybody. I work with a lot
Speaker 1: of great candidates, But we have to really start teaching
Speaker 1: people that it's not about the federal level. It really
Speaker 1: is about the local and the state, and the federal
Speaker 1: should be pointing to the local and the state to say, Hey,
Speaker 1: they end qualified immunity in New York City, how come
Speaker 1: we can't end it in Oklahoma. Hey they end it
Speaker 1: qualified immunity in Colorado, how come we can't end it
Speaker 1: in Missouri. So when you hear people saying, oh, we
Speaker 1: can't in qualified immunity. Oh, the police union. Do New
Speaker 1: York City not have a police union? Does Colorado not
Speaker 1: have a police union? If Sylvestor Mayor Turner in Houston
Speaker 1: was able to end chokeholes, why can't you know another
Speaker 1: city in chokeholes. So there's a lot going on, you know,
Speaker 1: on the local level that I tell people to get involved.
Speaker 1: So I don't talk about getting about voting. I'll talk
Speaker 1: about in the game. So the votes of voters should
Speaker 1: just be focused on hyper local basically, That's what I believe.
Speaker 1: So if not, So we look at Biden and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: So what would you give their grading if you had
Speaker 1: to grade them, what would their grade be at this
Speaker 1: day and age, I'm gonna follow my brother killer Mike.
Speaker 1: I think you said F minus. So I don't even
Speaker 1: think it exists. Yeah, it's it's a why well again,
Speaker 1: it's the volunteer lie. You know. It's not that I
Speaker 1: don't understand how this process works. You know a lot
Speaker 1: of folks come into common you don't understand how to work.
Speaker 1: Thinking they're giving me some new information. I understand how
Speaker 1: the process works. The problem is manipulating our people. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden is the only one that said I owe you
Speaker 1: black people, literally, the only one. Barack Obama didn't even
Speaker 1: say that. So to turn around and in January February,
Speaker 1: I believe when he went with our leaders who who
Speaker 1: they call our leaders and told him on tape, I'm
Speaker 1: not signing. I'm not doing an executive order. I'm not
Speaker 1: doing I mean, just put the pamp game down. I'm said,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing. Where was that same energy that you
Speaker 1: had when you were running stop you again. I hope
Speaker 1: people go back and listen to me on the Gether
Speaker 1: Boys podcast because I broke down pimps, politicians and pastors,
Speaker 1: meet you us. It's the same speech, the same format.
Speaker 1: You can bring it down here too. Okay, great pimps, politicians, pastors,
Speaker 1: not everybody, but I want you to follow the speech pattern.
Speaker 1: It's always meet you us, so the politician. If you
Speaker 1: listen to the speech. They start out with me and
Speaker 1: they literally train folks how to do this. Hey, my
Speaker 1: name is tays and Figaro from such and such. You
Speaker 1: know my age, I grew up in this city. Then
Speaker 1: they go with the you. Hey, dj envy h. You
Speaker 1: know I know what you've been going through. I know
Speaker 1: your pain I know that last night. You're using my example.
Speaker 1: Last night you went to the hospital and were you
Speaker 1: able to afford the healthcare? I know that really hurt.
Speaker 1: You and I have something in common. I had to
Speaker 1: go to the hospital before two. You and I together,
Speaker 1: that's to us. You and I together can make a difference.
Speaker 1: All I need you to do is give me five
Speaker 1: dollars and then let's move on and let's make a difference.
Speaker 1: If all I need you to do is elect me
Speaker 1: and give me five dollars, that's the politician. Then you
Speaker 1: it to the pimp. Me you us. What does the
Speaker 1: pimp do when he started out with me? How he dresses,
Speaker 1: how he looks, I'm looking good, I'm such and such,
Speaker 1: I'm pimp, whoever I got this? I look good? Look
Speaker 1: at my car, Look at what I have. Then he
Speaker 1: goes and talks to the woman. You look at you.
Speaker 1: You ain't doing so good baby. How you're treating You're
Speaker 1: not treating you right? You're giving it up and you
Speaker 1: ain't getting none for it. How you you know? How
Speaker 1: you moving, how you living? Me and you together can
Speaker 1: make a difference. All I need you to do is
Speaker 1: go out on the track and give me your Me
Speaker 1: and you together can change the world. Is that not
Speaker 1: what the pimp do? Then not what the politician do?
Speaker 1: Le let's get to the pastor now again, there's some
Speaker 1: good pastors out there. But this is the speech me, you, us.
Speaker 1: I'm a man of God. I'm a man and a
Speaker 1: woman of God. The Lord sent me. You know how
Speaker 1: they talk about old and the church. The blessings come
Speaker 1: down from me to me, it flows right onto you
Speaker 1: and then in the church that say I know I'm
Speaker 1: talking to somebody. Am I talking to somebody in here?
Speaker 1: I know somebody in here? Understand if you ever been
Speaker 1: a church where you sitting and sad, them saying I'm
Speaker 1: talking to me, to you, to me, you us? And
Speaker 1: some of it is definitely annoying to him, some because
Speaker 1: I'm a bootleg preacher myself. But it's still the same
Speaker 1: speech format, me, you us. Have you feeling guilty, have
Speaker 1: you feeling some type of way? All I need you
Speaker 1: to do come down and pay this offer and pay
Speaker 1: your ties and pay your offering because me and you
Speaker 1: together too will touch and agree me you together we're
Speaker 1: gonna get blessings. That's not me, you us. It's the
Speaker 1: same speech format literally, and so that has been used
Speaker 1: to manipulate even in the Black Church, which gets more
Speaker 1: money than anything else. The strongest pack out there right
Speaker 1: now is a Jewish pack. We have no pack political
Speaker 1: Action committee for those who don't know that for black
Speaker 1: people that is as strong as the current packs that
Speaker 1: are out there now for other communities. All the money
Speaker 1: goes to the Black Church. Those are just facts. So
Speaker 1: when we're not using when those uh, when that speech
Speaker 1: is used to manipulate in the church politicians. You remember
Speaker 1: when core Booker ran and he was talking about, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I know what it's like. Remember we're doing the debate.
Speaker 1: I know what it's like. People shoot up, and I've
Speaker 1: got plenty of friends. Remember he was homie this and
Speaker 1: Homie that. No disrespect to you, Corey, but he was
Speaker 1: homie this, I'm from Jersey. Was that the same Cory
Speaker 1: Booker that was given a speech about defund the police.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, we don't need to defund the police. So
Speaker 1: you flipped the game. You you did the pimp game,
Speaker 1: the politician game to identify with me, but then when
Speaker 1: it came time to deliver, you pimp slap me like
Speaker 1: a pimp literally, So it's the same format, and so
Speaker 1: we have to understand it and recognize it and don't
Speaker 1: get mad at the game. Just understand it and know
Speaker 1: how to know how to play in it. And so
Speaker 1: people get upset, so they get depressed and they say
Speaker 1: that I want to do no, no no, no, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to teach you how to play the game. Play the
Speaker 1: game exactly like they play in the game, and you
Speaker 1: don't start using that phone. How do we stop being holes?
Speaker 1: How do we stop being honest? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think the hole is always hole. She's always gonna have sex,
Speaker 1: one way or the other. The question is she gonna
Speaker 1: get right? Be the best home you can be where
Speaker 1: you can't look at it, Be the best home you
Speaker 1: can be. Hold everything out. I'm hey, I'm right. Yesterday's
Speaker 1: price like today's PRICI the one term president, then yes,
Speaker 1: I believe. So I believe he knows that. I mean,
Speaker 1: even if he had said, you know, originally that he
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't run the second time, that his whole thing
Speaker 1: was about healing America. You can't heal the hearts of man,
Speaker 1: only God that we want actual results. So yeah, and
Speaker 1: make sure y'all subscribe to this Great Shot Chase a
Speaker 1: podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast Network. That's Teslin's podcast.

Speaker 1: myself I'm gonna start that this this this month. You
Speaker 1: didn't want to put a real date on it. I
Speaker 1: was gonna be this month. Okay, all right, but let's
Speaker 1: get let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Rody Rich.
Speaker 1: This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. All right, Riddy Rich was arrested on gun charges.
Speaker 1: He was on his way to the Governor's Ball where
Speaker 1: he was supposed to perform on Saturday. That's in New
Speaker 1: York City, and so we had to cancel his performance. Now,
Speaker 1: an official Sunday confirmed that the charges were dropped against
Speaker 1: him by the way and so a law enforcement insiders
Speaker 1: said that officers at the festival security checkpoint claims they
Speaker 1: discovered a loaded firearm in his vehicle. And so because
Speaker 1: these were all dropped, clearly it wasn't his right Yeah,
Speaker 1: which which makes sense. I mean, he's from la he's
Speaker 1: in town to perform. It was him, his driver that
Speaker 1: he hired, and security that he hired. The security is
Speaker 1: from Brooklyn, so hired. So if there's a gun in
Speaker 1: the call, who's gun do you think it would be? Yeah?
Speaker 1: He and two other people in the automobile were placed
Speaker 1: under arrest. They said initially he was facing four charges
Speaker 1: possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device, unlawful possession thereof,
Speaker 1: as well as criminal possession of a weapon, but those
Speaker 1: charges have been dropped. Yes, so I would be pissed
Speaker 1: a f four of two. I'm coming to the show.
Speaker 1: He probably probably making a hundred fifty two hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars performing, and now I can't do my show because
Speaker 1: y'all arrest me and say it's my gun. Where I
Speaker 1: hired security to make sure I'm safe in New York
Speaker 1: when New York is crazy right now, and you arrest
Speaker 1: me and I missed my show. Yeah, that's fair. I'll
Speaker 1: be pissed off too, right so, and then imagine all
Speaker 1: the fans who were looking forward to see him all
Speaker 1: right now, Monique's sister has gone on Facebook and done
Speaker 1: a post about Monique and her name is Melissa, and
Speaker 1: I'm she said, enough is enough. My sister stopped the madness.
Speaker 1: It's not a good look. God has shut you down before,
Speaker 1: and believe me, he will do it again. Let's start
Speaker 1: by staying on topic. You are and have been displacing
Speaker 1: your anger on the wrong people. Why don't you start,
Speaker 1: sister with you? And that begins with one digging deep
Speaker 1: and praying. And she also told Monique, take heed and
Speaker 1: clean your house up because it's dirty. Sister. You're coming
Speaker 1: with the same story over and over again. If nothing changes,
Speaker 1: nothing changes. Your career has been dead in the past,
Speaker 1: and now it's about to come to life, and now
Speaker 1: you are killing it again. And now the plug is
Speaker 1: about to be pulled on you and you are about
Speaker 1: to be canceled again. This time it's flatline. I just
Speaker 1: can't take no more text messages or phone calls. At
Speaker 1: one time, the stage and the world was your oyster.
Speaker 1: What you're doing now is offensive to this family, our
Speaker 1: parents and your siblings. But all of a sudden is
Speaker 1: about you having to be right, good, batter indifferent and
Speaker 1: now you are wrong as too left shoes. And then
Speaker 1: she also said, although you did not show up to
Speaker 1: your father's or your mother's funeral service, I'm sure they
Speaker 1: forgive you because they know who their child used to be.
Speaker 1: So she also entered it by saying, this is all
Speaker 1: coming from a place of love, sister. Stop your biological sister, militant,
Speaker 1: love you the life, and we'll be here for you always.
Speaker 1: That's messy. I wonder why you know as family members.
Speaker 1: You just don't pick up the phone and say, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna say this to you to your face. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what type of things. We don't speak
Speaker 1: to each other normal may You don't have each other's novels.
Speaker 1: But Dan, it's messy all right now. Queen Latifa recently
Speaker 1: sat down on Hot Ones and they showed a throwback
Speaker 1: photo of her in Tupac and she talked about some
Speaker 1: of her fondest moments of their friendship. Here's what you
Speaker 1: had to say about Tupac hanging out with her in
Speaker 1: a gay club. We toured together, so we went all
Speaker 1: across the country, San Francisco doing a show, my first
Speaker 1: show over ten thousand dollars, which was a New Year's
Speaker 1: Eve show at this cool gay club in San Francisco.
Speaker 1: I was like, Yo, I'm here. He's like, YO, hook
Speaker 1: up with you. So I came to the club with
Speaker 1: me and I was like, YO, come to Tupacs in
Speaker 1: the building. They went crazy in there. I was like,
Speaker 1: they're gonna tell you all your clubs come here. He's like, man,
Speaker 1: he took his shirt off anywhere. We had so much fun,
Speaker 1: you know, but that was like my brother and he
Speaker 1: would like He's the type of person I would like
Speaker 1: if he loved you, if he was cool with you.
Speaker 1: He laid his life down for you. So I miss
Speaker 1: him and I love him. That's dope, all right. Now.
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson also had some good Tupac stories, and he
Speaker 1: was talking about basically, you know, meeting Tupac. Here's what
Speaker 1: he had to say, Mike Tyson, I'm meeting Tupac. Tupacs.
Speaker 1: Those guys that we went to left him in the
Speaker 1: back and some kind of way they even gone on
Speaker 1: the stage, took the mic that started wrapping, and I
Speaker 1: met Tupac six months later in prison, and I get
Speaker 1: a call from somebody's Tupac's mother and he explains she
Speaker 1: know me from my son explained I love him in
Speaker 1: the club one night and he wants to come and
Speaker 1: visit me. I said, gay, okay, and then he came in.
Speaker 1: The mean lent him and it came to the visiting
Speaker 1: room as soon as he came up. Everybody. So that's dope. Yeah, that,
Speaker 1: I mean, two bucks dound like the realest person for real. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: So that was on Drink Champs with Mike Tyson. And
Speaker 1: by the way, there's a teaser out now for the
Speaker 1: new Hulu biographical series on Mike Tyson. Savante Roads is
Speaker 1: starring as Mike Tyson. So that upcoming limited series Mike
Speaker 1: is based on his life and it launches on Hulu
Speaker 1: on August twenty fifth. Just the FYI. Yeah, I would
Speaker 1: love to I mean, that's one of the interviews that
Speaker 1: I would love to do. I would love to interview
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson. I bumped into him a couple of times,
Speaker 1: like literally, like in the club. Not literally, but no,
Speaker 1: like like bumped into him by accident, and then I
Speaker 1: turned around, like you like, who the hell is this
Speaker 1: bumping into me? And you turn around, you realize that
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson, and then you run because you just don't
Speaker 1: want that. Probably, come on, it's an accident. You just
Speaker 1: say sorry, it was Mike Tyson a long time ago. Yes,
Speaker 1: I ran, Yeah, weird. That is in the club in
Speaker 1: New York City. This is before you, Sue. You just
Speaker 1: got knocked out and you woke up in the hospital,
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to wake up in the hospital.
Speaker 1: It's a good story though. For the radio it is
Speaker 1: all right now. Jay Cole has stepped away from the
Speaker 1: Scarborough shooting Stars to fulfill touring obligations. There's no word
Speaker 1: on whether he'll return or not, but he did play
Speaker 1: four games, so you know, there you have it. I
Speaker 1: saw a lot of people going out to the game
Speaker 1: to support J Cole. Shout to J Cole. Hold on
Speaker 1: before you end. I got one last story, all right,
Speaker 1: Dell Curry. That's Steph Curry's dad his new girlfriend. You
Speaker 1: see this Stoll story. Okay, so his new girlfriend used
Speaker 1: to be married to Steph Curry's mother Sonya Curry's new man.

Speaker 1: guy and now his dad is dating that guy's ex wife.
Speaker 1: Is that crazy? All right? Keep it in a family.
Speaker 1: And that is your rumor report. That is very weird,
Speaker 1: all right. The People's Choice makes this up. Next. We've
Speaker 1: been teasing this all last week when Envy was not here.
Speaker 1: Get your request and it's the Breakfast Club. It works,
Speaker 1: So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same.
Speaker 1: Angela you here. The General Insurance is a quality insurance
Speaker 1: company that's been saving people money for nearly sixty years.
Speaker 1: Switch to the General and you could save over five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Call eight hundred General or visit the General
Speaker 1: dot Com, the General Auto Insurance Services, Inc. And Insurance
Speaker 1: Agency Nashville, Tennessee. Some restrictions. Angela, Ye, Charlomagne the guy,
Speaker 1: we are the breakfast Club. We got a special guest
Speaker 1: from special guests in the building. Yes, indeed, you have
Speaker 1: Brandon Victor Dixon and we have I'm gonna mess your
Speaker 1: name of brother Keimi and very will say it Keimi. Okay,
Speaker 1: welcome morning. That's going on y'all. Man, This is a
Speaker 1: beautiful time, man, because you know you have the political
Speaker 1: thriller eighty eight, you know, which premiered that you trybacka
Speaker 1: film festival this weekend. Yes, so tell people what first
Speaker 1: and forced executive produced by yourself. Thank you, Yes indeed,
Speaker 1: yes indeed. But I mean, I'm grateful you you brought
Speaker 1: me out here not too long ago to kind of
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that we're trying to get the
Speaker 1: film made, and now it is made and it's premiering
Speaker 1: at Tribeca, and I got to come back now with
Speaker 1: the writer, director Ramsey. So why don't you break the
Speaker 1: film down for everybody? Eighty eight is about a Nigerian
Speaker 1: American superPAC director. It's the financial director of a superpack
Speaker 1: and he comes on upon anomalies in the donations that
Speaker 1: are coming into the superpack, and the movie is basically
Speaker 1: a conspiracy thriller where he starts investigating the source of
Speaker 1: the money, which uncovers that mass conspiracy going back hundreds
Speaker 1: and thousands of year. Always follow the money, yeah, always
Speaker 1: follow the money. It had a had a spook spoop
Speaker 1: by the door element to it to me was that
Speaker 1: was that any inspiration you ever seen spoop by the door?
Speaker 1: I did? You know? I did? I did? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: mean to be honest, like, so what I always tell
Speaker 1: people with me is like I'm so. I'm Nigerian about
Speaker 1: grew up in Lake US and London and my father
Speaker 1: was a movie collector, so we had thousands of movies
Speaker 1: on videotapes. So if you remember Beata Max and VHS
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So I used to watch movies
Speaker 1: every day, and a lot of the older movies that
Speaker 1: we saw, like the classics, a lot of them were
Speaker 1: conspiracy thrillers. So you know you're talking Manchurian Candidate, the
Speaker 1: Original Marathon, Manu Parallax View and all those sorts of films.
Speaker 1: All the President's Men is another one. So those were
Speaker 1: the films, you know, inspiration wise that really sort of
Speaker 1: formed the foundation for the movie for me. But another
Speaker 1: crazy things like I always thought, as black people, it's
Speaker 1: crazy we never had like a heightened political like conspiracy thriller.
Speaker 1: Even though we've had the most conspiracies perpetrated one, we
Speaker 1: don't have a conspiracy thriller. So I was like a
Speaker 1: real thing for me. I was like, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so yeah, that was a thing. I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: let me go ahead and make something that is really
Speaker 1: sort of cerebral and really talking about a lot of
Speaker 1: things under the surface in terms of race, economics, power,
Speaker 1: and so forth, but put black faces on people of Colorado,
Speaker 1: the helm you know of the story. Yeah. The reason
Speaker 1: you know, I even wanted to be involved and I
Speaker 1: heard Brandon talking about it, is because the reason I
Speaker 1: think that the timing is right for this movie is
Speaker 1: because I feel like black people have gotten more sophisticated
Speaker 1: in regards the politics. I think black people are starting
Speaker 1: to expand the views in which we're looking at race
Speaker 1: and how it affects us a culturally and politically. So
Speaker 1: I definitely I think I agree with you right there.
Speaker 1: I think our perspective is expanding, and we're starting to
Speaker 1: recognize that it's impacting us in a lot of different
Speaker 1: ways on a lot of different levels and arenas. And
Speaker 1: so a film like this particular, I think in the
Speaker 1: way that that you know, Thomas put it must say,
Speaker 1: put it together, really begins to unpack those different layers,
Speaker 1: I think in a really effective way. And I think
Speaker 1: since President and I think since President Obama, politics has
Speaker 1: become pop culture. It's pop culture. Yeah, yeah, with social
Speaker 1: media and as well, it's it's crazy the premise like superpacks,
Speaker 1: I didn't know anything about superpacks. Okay, A superpack is
Speaker 1: a political action committee. The idea being there are laws
Speaker 1: and rules as far as campaigning funds, so how much
Speaker 1: money you can actually put into a campaign officially, So
Speaker 1: if you have a candidate like Obama or Biden or whatever,
Speaker 1: there's a limit on how much they can raise from campaigns.
Speaker 1: So what they've done is a superpack is essentially an
Speaker 1: entity that raises money to campaign for a candidate separate
Speaker 1: from the candidate, and their limit is unlimited, so they
Speaker 1: can raise two billion dollars to campaign for a candidate
Speaker 1: as long as they're not officially connected as an individual,
Speaker 1: I'm capta exactly. So you can have a superpack who's
Speaker 1: raising tens or billions of tens of millions of dollars
Speaker 1: to put into a campaign and they're running. So basically
Speaker 1: a lot of the ads that you see come from
Speaker 1: a superpack and they're not actually officially connected to the
Speaker 1: campaign of the candidate involved. And this is the way
Speaker 1: that and they're not allowed to coordinate with the candida direct, right,
Speaker 1: but they almost always have some level of coordination, right.
Speaker 1: And I think the main thing and where you know,
Speaker 1: when you're talking about the movie is where's all that
Speaker 1: money coming from? And I think the thing is as
Speaker 1: communities they were talking about the black community is once
Speaker 1: you really understand how to utilize that. So, for example,
Speaker 1: if somebody wants to get somebody elected but doesn't want
Speaker 1: to put their name down as and I gave twenty
Speaker 1: million dollars to this candidate, you can do that through
Speaker 1: a superpack, you know. So if you want to actually
Speaker 1: affect policy change, get involved in understanding how superpacs work,
Speaker 1: how nonprofits work, how they're connected, and you can actually
Speaker 1: get real support and get people elected that way, you know.
Speaker 1: And then really that's the only way to really get
Speaker 1: elected when you running for president is to have a
Speaker 1: bunch of superpacks of people that are really pushing for you.
Speaker 1: That it's not quote unquote you now, now, now that
Speaker 1: is the game. I mean, now it's it's it's crazy.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we're talking. I think it was
Speaker 1: like nine hundred million. I can't remember what it was
Speaker 1: as of a few years ago that that had been
Speaker 1: raised since Citizens United in two thousand and ten got
Speaker 1: past and that was the legislation that really changed everything.
Speaker 1: I mean, at that point, you could actually put money
Speaker 1: in nonprofits. They can just repackage the money, send it
Speaker 1: onto a superpack, and because they don't have to report
Speaker 1: to the FEC, you never know who put the money in.
Speaker 1: So it's crazy when we're talking about Russia and we're
Speaker 1: talking about the whole Russia scandal, that is this big
Speaker 1: in comparison to this, because this is real money laundering.
Speaker 1: So essentially could have gave one hundred million dollars easily
Speaker 1: to somebody to help without your knowing correct, without you wow,
Speaker 1: And there's no regulations, laws or anything against it. It's
Speaker 1: funny that the law made it possible. There are regulations
Speaker 1: and laws against it, but there are also regulations and
Speaker 1: laws that create loopholes in order to make it possible. Right,
Speaker 1: So on the surface, you can say you there are
Speaker 1: structures in place, but everybody who knows that I manipulate
Speaker 1: them can. And I think that issue of you know,
Speaker 1: you don't know where this money is coming from really matters,
Speaker 1: and it's really significant in the film, both in terms
Speaker 1: of a lot of times we think about that just
Speaker 1: in terms of self interest, personal self interest of wealthy
Speaker 1: individuals to one percent. But it's not just about personal
Speaker 1: self interest. I think you have to expand the purview
Speaker 1: or what that means. It's the what are the ideals
Speaker 1: by which this person or this group of people or
Speaker 1: this corporation lives and how do they want that money
Speaker 1: to how do they want that money to affect the
Speaker 1: politicians that they are investing in, which is scary because
Speaker 1: you know, you look at it and you think America democratic, right,
Speaker 1: where we vote for the president, but we really don't, right,
Speaker 1: because if you have something let's say Russia, let's say
Speaker 1: Russia wants Donald Trump in, right, Russia can put as
Speaker 1: much money on the floor to make sure Donald Trump
Speaker 1: is because they might have something else that they want
Speaker 1: from Donald Trump, want to back end, say Saudi Arabia
Speaker 1: wants bullshit? Say you know, but that that's the whole point.
Speaker 1: They just say, Okay, well who what's coming from where?
Speaker 1: And I think the thing really begins. The thing that
Speaker 1: I think it's great about the movie is that it
Speaker 1: attacks it from both ends. But you start to look
Speaker 1: at what's happening in our in our society, of the
Speaker 1: challenges that we as a collective field we want to face,
Speaker 1: and why are we unable to overcome these challenges over
Speaker 1: and over again, even when certain politicians will will pay
Speaker 1: lip service to the things that we support, even when
Speaker 1: the majority of their constituents seem to want a thing.
Speaker 1: Why can't we get over that hump? And this film
Speaker 1: tries to tackle those ideas. June fourteenth and June eighteenth,
Speaker 1: you can buy tickets to go see eighty eight at
Speaker 1: the Tribeca Film Festival, and it's also online if you
Speaker 1: can make it to the festival, you can get the
Speaker 1: online screenings from the thirteenth, so you can watch it
Speaker 1: at home. Ye, well, thank you. I want to ask
Speaker 1: more question, what did the Tribeca Film Festival mean for
Speaker 1: a film? Oh? Wow. I mean, look, it's been great
Speaker 1: for me personally. You know, at this the third time
Speaker 1: I've been there. I've been there with two features now
Speaker 1: on one short film. Film festival is essentially just a
Speaker 1: way for getting a movie out and launching your film.
Speaker 1: So for me, without Tribeca, like, we wouldn't even be
Speaker 1: talking about a tight right now, you know, people wouldn't
Speaker 1: really know about the movie. And I think that's the
Speaker 1: most important thing that this is doing for stories like
Speaker 1: this and filmmakers like us who do not have millions
Speaker 1: of dollars to spend on advertising, who do not have
Speaker 1: the outreach that you know, a studio film would have.
Speaker 1: Is these guys do that work for you and just
Speaker 1: give you a platform, and then if your movie resonates
Speaker 1: with an audience, you know, from there, you know, you
Speaker 1: can sort of launch launch a film. So that's what
Speaker 1: it means for me and in the movie, the little
Speaker 1: profile for the film, and also connect with other artists
Speaker 1: who are working in the same capacity. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: well thank you, brothers. Definitely go out and support and
Speaker 1: we appreciate you guys. I'm gonna check it out this
Speaker 1: weekend all right now. I don't forget my Car Show
Speaker 1: less than six days away Houston, Texas. If you haven't
Speaker 1: got to tickets, get your tickets, family fun, your favorite
Speaker 1: celebrity cars, old school cars, slabs, new cars and all that.
Speaker 1: And then Atlanta July night. So if you can't make
Speaker 1: it to Houston, Atlanta is gonna be just as crazy.
Speaker 1: So can't wait to see you guys. Now you got
Speaker 1: a positive note, yes, and this positive note is about
Speaker 1: paying attention to who is around you. Pay attention to
Speaker 1: whom your energy increases and decreases around. That's the universe
Speaker 1: giving you a hint on who ushoes stray from or
Speaker 1: stay around. Breakfast club pics you'll finish for y'all, dune
