Speaker 1: And Charlomagne the guy my dad as the breakfast club is.
Speaker 1: I love coming here. I'm never not going to come here.
Speaker 1: You guys are good to me, and La tie them
Speaker 1: away was gonna be good deal. A lot of people
Speaker 1: in hip hop generation. The breakfast club is where people
Speaker 1: get the information on the topics, on the artists, and
Speaker 1: that aspect radio still point. So breakfast club on my name,
Speaker 1: come on, respect you all right morning? Everybody is DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Angela ye, Charlomagne, the guy with all the breakfast club.
Speaker 1: Let's get in some front page news. All right, let's
Speaker 1: get right into it easy. All right, Well, let's talk
Speaker 1: about what we know so far about Savadar Ramos. He
Speaker 1: was the suspected Texas school shooter. We still have to
Speaker 1: say suspected. An eighteen year old gun in there saying
Speaker 1: that he allegedly shot and killed eighteen school children and
Speaker 1: two adults at a Texas elementary school. Now they're saying
Speaker 1: before that happened, he messaged a stranger I'm about to
Speaker 1: just hours before he opened fire. And this was at
Speaker 1: rob Elementary School in Uvaldi in Texas. He attended the
Speaker 1: town's high school, and they said he reportedly shot his
Speaker 1: grandmother before driving to the school armed with a handgun
Speaker 1: and possibly a rifle. And a manager at Wendy's told
Speaker 1: The New York Times that he worked there for a
Speaker 1: year and that he quit about a month ago, that
Speaker 1: he always kept to himself. He also allegedly tagged a
Speaker 1: stranger in an Instagram picture of guns, and that account
Speaker 1: has been taken down since. But according to these reports,
Speaker 1: he said what he said, You're going to repost my
Speaker 1: gun picks to a girl on May twelfth, She said,
Speaker 1: what your guns got to do with me? He said,
Speaker 1: just wanted to tag you, and then he messaged her
Speaker 1: I'm about to And then she asked about to what,
Speaker 1: and he said, I'll tell you before eleven. He said
Speaker 1: he would text her in an hour, and he urged
Speaker 1: her to respond. Now here's what one student had to say,
Speaker 1: his name is Jordan, about what happened during the incident.
Speaker 1: We just hear all kinds of gunshots going off like NonStop,
Speaker 1: like clowns, daily gunshots and the world here all scared,
Speaker 1: what on the ground, fearing for our lives. And these
Speaker 1: are mostly third and fourth graders at this school. Again,
Speaker 1: I told you it's an elementary school. In you, Valde, Texas.
Speaker 1: And here is what Joe Biden is about the shooting
Speaker 1: immediately after another massacre Valde, Texas. An elementary school, beautiful
Speaker 1: in a second third fourth graders, And how many scores
Speaker 1: of little children who witness what happened, see their friends
Speaker 1: die as if they're on a battlefield. For God's sake,
Speaker 1: they'll load the rest of their lives. Parents will never
Speaker 1: be the same to lose a child. It's like having
Speaker 1: a piece of your soul ripped away. There's a hollowness
Speaker 1: in your chest. You feel like you're being sucked into
Speaker 1: it and never going to be able to get out. Suffocating.
Speaker 1: It's never quite the same and is m There's nothing
Speaker 1: that makes you feel more helpless than this. As a parent, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I'm saying we try to keep our kids safe. We
Speaker 1: try to keep them in safe spaces. School is supposed
Speaker 1: to be a safe space, you know. And I don't
Speaker 1: have any answers to how you slow down any of this,
Speaker 1: stop any of this. I don't know how you legislate
Speaker 1: hate now. According to sources, the gunman first shot his
Speaker 1: grandmother at a separate scene. Authorities initially said that his
Speaker 1: grandmother was killed but later they said she's in critical condition.
Speaker 1: He then crashed his car outside of the school. He
Speaker 1: came out with an AAR fifteen style rifle. According to
Speaker 1: multiple law enforcement sources, they do have that rifle body
Speaker 1: armor that he was wearing in numerous magazines. He was
Speaker 1: engaged outside the building as he approached the school by
Speaker 1: a school district police officer who was shot by the suspect.
Speaker 1: After that, he entered the school and allegedly opened fire,
Speaker 1: and mainly the students who were killed were third and
Speaker 1: fourth grades, as well as one teacher. Altogether, at least
Speaker 1: nineteen children and two teachers have been killed at rob
Speaker 1: Elementary School. Here is what Vice President Kamala Harris had
Speaker 1: to say. I would normally say in a moment like this,
Speaker 1: we would all say naturally that our hearts break, but
Speaker 1: our hearts keep getting broken. So I think we all
Speaker 1: know and have said many times with each other, enough
Speaker 1: is enough. As a nation, we have to have the
Speaker 1: courage to take action and understand the nexus between what
Speaker 1: makes for reasonable and sensible public policy to ensure something
Speaker 1: like this never happens again. To the people of Vivaldi.
Speaker 1: Please know that this is a room full of leaders
Speaker 1: who grieve with you, and one last thing. Golden State
Speaker 1: Warriors coach Steve Kerr, ahead of the Dallas Mavericks game
Speaker 1: finals night, also spoke, when are we gonna do something?
Speaker 1: I'm tired. I'm so tired of getting up here and
Speaker 1: offering condolences to the devastated families that are out there. Enough.
Speaker 1: There's fifty senators right now who refuse to vote on
Speaker 1: HR eight, which is a background check rule that the
Speaker 1: House passed a couple of years ago. It's been sitting
Speaker 1: there for two years, and there's a reason they won't
Speaker 1: vote on it, to hold on to power. So I
Speaker 1: ask you, Mitch McConnell, ask all of you senators who
Speaker 1: refuse to do anything about the violence and school shootings
Speaker 1: and supermarket shootings. I ask you, are you going to
Speaker 1: put your own desire for power ahead of the lives
Speaker 1: of our children, and our elderly and our churchgoers, Because
Speaker 1: that's what it looks like. Steve Krai is right. I
Speaker 1: still don't see how you legislate hate, though, But you know,
Speaker 1: whoever it is a bunch of people. Whoever it is
Speaker 1: a place where folks congregate, I feel like they need
Speaker 1: to be arm security and metal detectives, like all public
Speaker 1: venues need to have arm security and metal tectives because
Speaker 1: it feels like these evil cowards seem to be running
Speaker 1: up in places where they know humans are the most vulnerable.
Speaker 1: And then they'll say, well, where do we get the
Speaker 1: money from? How do we just give forty one million
Speaker 1: billionaires to send a Ukraine? Or where where do we
Speaker 1: get the money to do that? How do we send
Speaker 1: all this money to all these other names. I'm sure
Speaker 1: this country can afford metal detectives in you know, armed security,
Speaker 1: metal detectives. I don't think when it did as much,
Speaker 1: but definitely armed security at these big places, at these airports,
Speaker 1: at these mall we got them at the airports. Small schools, churches,
Speaker 1: now church, any place where folks congregate, where large crowds congregate.
Speaker 1: Nine percent of the students at that school were Hispanic.
Speaker 1: It's at eighty one percent where lower income. One woman,
Speaker 1: Antel Garza was looking for her her child and Marie Jo,
Speaker 1: and she finally did confirm, thank you everyone for the
Speaker 1: prayers and helped trying to find my baby. She's been found.
Speaker 1: My little love is now flying high with the angels above.
Speaker 1: Please don't take a second. For granted, how your family
Speaker 1: tell them you love them. Yeah, I don't care what
Speaker 1: those kids were. They were human. They were human, and
Speaker 1: they were kids, you know. And there's nothing that makes
Speaker 1: you feel more helpless than this as as a parent,
Speaker 1: because I just don't know what a safe space is anymore.
Speaker 1: There's no safe space. That is your front page news.
Speaker 1: All right, get it off your chest. Let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. It's
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club the morning, the Breakfast Club. I'm telling,
Speaker 1: I'm telling what's doing of you. This is your time
Speaker 1: to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five one five one. We want
Speaker 1: to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello, who's
Speaker 1: this robo? Keith? Sports Day? Is my real robot? Sub king?
Speaker 1: Fam This is everything, uh, this issue with uh there's
Speaker 1: violence with these guns. Man, I'm gonna retired with sen
Speaker 1: We see here, n bna. You got family, that's that
Speaker 1: tires from the job. Our biggest problem with why there's
Speaker 1: disrespect with your guns is that politicians who just don't care. Well,
Speaker 1: I supposed to stop thinking that democrats or are really
Speaker 1: our friends I'm not a Republican, I'm a Democrat, but
Speaker 1: we got to hold these politicians accountable. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: I agree. The gun issue is interesting to me, man,
Speaker 1: because you know, I do feel like, you know, you
Speaker 1: do have to have some type of regulation on guns
Speaker 1: and you know who who has access to them. But
Speaker 1: I just don't think you can legislate hate, bro because
Speaker 1: the triggers of these guns don't pull themselves. But the
Speaker 1: problem there, though strongly real talk, is that they are
Speaker 1: rigid because they're against sensible gun control. Everyone thinks that
Speaker 1: they need to own a gun or they need to
Speaker 1: an amendment, talks about possession of assault WI things they don't.
Speaker 1: You know, this young man who's eighteen years old. You
Speaker 1: got parents buying a kid's guns and a fifteen like
Speaker 1: who needs an AAR fifteen? Listen, I agree with you
Speaker 1: that there needs to be some type of gun control,
Speaker 1: but I'm just I don't see how you legislate heat.
Speaker 1: But you know what, let me ask you a question, right,
Speaker 1: and you know we appreciate you all the service that
Speaker 1: you did when it comes to gun lawyers. You look
Speaker 1: at a lot of these nations that I travel to.
Speaker 1: What I'm DJing it and you see that the police
Speaker 1: don't have guns and guns of band, do you think
Speaker 1: that will work better? Because we had a point right now.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, I'm I'm a grown ass man,
Speaker 1: and I feel like I need a gun, and I
Speaker 1: have a couple of them at my house. And then
Speaker 1: when I when I go out of town, I'm allowed
Speaker 1: to carry, and I do carry because the bad guys
Speaker 1: have guns and I want to protect myself. I want
Speaker 1: to make it home to my wife and my family.
Speaker 1: Every day I posted something on Facebook like we're talking
Speaker 1: about the shootings and say the people all time, I
Speaker 1: used to always say, you really don't think because all
Speaker 1: these all these guns out here, everyone who who um
Speaker 1: possesses a farm, they don't even go to they don't
Speaker 1: even go to shooting ranges. I heard you talk about
Speaker 1: you and your wife for the shooting ranges. Yep. And
Speaker 1: but the average even I'm talking about these socall you
Speaker 1: know heroes out here. You know we're strapped walking aroun
Speaker 1: on the street to shoot up the block. Whyn't you
Speaker 1: just go to the range? Stick controllers? God, I tell
Speaker 1: you know how to, how to, how to, how to
Speaker 1: live out here in the streets because you gotta do
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. But if you're out here to
Speaker 1: this busting shot and you're killing nine year old kids,
Speaker 1: you know, baby sitting in the car, sit, this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I agree with all of that. Yeah, I agree. I
Speaker 1: agree with you, and I agree with with with what
Speaker 1: Angelie said about the A R fifteen. I don't feel like,
Speaker 1: you know, civilians need you know, those type of weapons.
Speaker 1: But I will say this too. I mean, now they
Speaker 1: got all types of contraptions where they could have a
Speaker 1: handgun that that, that has a thirty clip on it,
Speaker 1: with a barrel on it like this. It's every conversation
Speaker 1: we're having about guns. You're right, but once again, how
Speaker 1: do you legislate hate? How do you legislate within a
Speaker 1: person's heart? Like you're not evil, you gotta be to say,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to this grocery store and shoot it
Speaker 1: up and kill all of these black people. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go to this church and kill all these Asian people.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go kill all of these kids. Like that's
Speaker 1: something in a person's heart that you can't legislate. Now,
Speaker 1: you're right, but how do you stop it? How do
Speaker 1: you slow because the evil is just evil. But I
Speaker 1: don't know. I really don't eight hundred five eight five
Speaker 1: one or five one. Get it off your chests is
Speaker 1: to breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast Club. This is
Speaker 1: your time to get it off your chests, whether you're
Speaker 1: man or blessed. So you better have the same in
Speaker 1: We want to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this? Jack? Good Moran? This is Ryan from fire
Speaker 1: Us and brushes you. Ryan? What's up? Ryan? You know
Speaker 1: chess brother. I got a couple of points I want
Speaker 1: to make about all this stuff's going on. One, I
Speaker 1: used to work at a high school in a Newark,
Speaker 1: New Jersey, where all the students coming in they had
Speaker 1: to get check for weapons. There was a cop that
Speaker 1: worked there in the school and the security girls are
Speaker 1: on point. But I'm feel safe there. So now I'm
Speaker 1: working at a high school in New Jersey in a
Speaker 1: nice suburb, and I'm always wondering, these kids aren't getting
Speaker 1: check when they come to the building. You know, how
Speaker 1: safer am I here? That's right. Second, I want to
Speaker 1: make his um the whole thing with the gun lords.
Speaker 1: If that young man had to wait until he was
Speaker 1: eighteen to get his rifle or whatever what makes him
Speaker 1: not less likely to go out and kill someone. So
Speaker 1: could you, guys explain to me how changing the good
Speaker 1: lord or when to make people not go out and
Speaker 1: kill people? Brother, I feel you, and that's what makes
Speaker 1: you feel so helpless in these situations because we know
Speaker 1: we can create legislation to slow down the access of guns,
Speaker 1: but you can't legislate what's in somebody's heart. But let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. Do you think do you
Speaker 1: think an eighteen year old should be able to purchase
Speaker 1: a high powered rifle like that? I mean, because they're
Speaker 1: not allowed to get a handgun, But I mean you
Speaker 1: can get an a Off fifteen or one of these
Speaker 1: shotguns that can hold ten slugs in it that you know,
Speaker 1: at an eighteen year old kid, they could just start
Speaker 1: firing away. I think there should be some kind of limitation.
Speaker 1: If you want to get a rifle to go hunting,
Speaker 1: that's one thing, But you don't need a high powered
Speaker 1: then if you're eighteen, you can't even drink eighteen? I agree,
Speaker 1: I don't think I mean, I honestly don't think you
Speaker 1: need a high powered weapon at all, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean like you said, maybe if you want to go hunting.
Speaker 1: But I mean in question when you buy these weapons,
Speaker 1: Like when you go make these purchases, do you get
Speaker 1: put into a registry? I don't know, Like shouldn't you
Speaker 1: like if I go buy a OFF fifteen right now,
Speaker 1: shouldn't automatically I get put on some lists, some watch
Speaker 1: lists or something like that. I don't think you do.
Speaker 1: But I mean, the crazy point is it is once
Speaker 1: you're eighteen, you could buy a high power rough a rifle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's not like you know, a handgun when
Speaker 1: you have to be twenty one. But they do a
Speaker 1: background check when you do a license, and it takes
Speaker 1: a day. But if you go from somebody that's not
Speaker 1: a licensed person buying it, there's no background check. Some
Speaker 1: of these gun shows there's no background check, and some
Speaker 1: of these people when you buy things online, there's no
Speaker 1: background check. That's the Senate, that's the bill that they've
Speaker 1: been trying to pass that they've been having difficulties passing.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think even to get a license, you
Speaker 1: have to you know, you take the classes, you take
Speaker 1: the road tests, you do all of those things. But
Speaker 1: do you have to do that to get a gun. No,
Speaker 1: if you want to, if you want to conceal that
Speaker 1: you do, have to take a class, had to take
Speaker 1: a class from no type of evaluation, nothing, just a
Speaker 1: background check. I agree, and I agree with all these
Speaker 1: gun conversations. I'm not opposed to any of them. But man,
Speaker 1: it still feels like we're not dealing with the root
Speaker 1: of the issue, and that is what is in somebody's heart, Like,
Speaker 1: what's what's the hate that drives somebody to do this
Speaker 1: type of mask murder? Yeah, but how do you change that?
Speaker 1: I know I'm saying, I don't know how you legislate
Speaker 1: was in somebody's heart, I really, And that's what makes
Speaker 1: you feel helpless. Some people just hate, like the dude
Speaker 1: that did the thing Abuff Buffalo, he hated black people.
Speaker 1: That's it. And the people are the guy that did
Speaker 1: this shooting in the church and Kylie that that's kind
Speaker 1: of under the radar. People aren't talking about he did
Speaker 1: that because those with Asian people, Right, I don't know
Speaker 1: how you did that hate come from? I bro, you
Speaker 1: are you? Your guests is as good as mine? All right?
Speaker 1: Get it all A few chests eight hundred five eight
Speaker 1: five one oh five one. We got rooms on the way,

Speaker 1: report okay, all right now. Los Angeles Clippers guard Norman
Speaker 1: Powell shared a video of himself getting her rest while
Speaker 1: he was at the gym in Vegas yesterday. And here's
Speaker 1: what happened. I am not American? How are we not?
Speaker 1: I was going to race here. My descendant is from Africa. Yes,
Speaker 1: I am Americans. I wasn't born in power and I
Speaker 1: was a slave. How were you a slave? What made
Speaker 1: you a slave? Because I was black in my last
Speaker 1: same time? But you got reading a logo, You're like
Speaker 1: uncle Ruckus. What does that have to do with anything
Speaker 1: our music? What does our music captured you with him?
Speaker 1: Oh we already, we already called the police. Oh you're
Speaker 1: on live, You're on Instagram lives right now. You know
Speaker 1: that I come from a family school. My grandfather has
Speaker 1: nothing to do what you're talking about. Nothing to do
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, re literally, And that is the
Speaker 1: problem with America. You cannot legislate what is in somebody's heart.
Speaker 1: And the reason a lot of these things keep happening
Speaker 1: is because we haven't dealt with the root of all
Speaker 1: our issues, and that is the hate that some people
Speaker 1: hold for others in their hearts. In this country. You
Speaker 1: can't legislate that. Nothing you can do to change her,
Speaker 1: change your mind, nothing, No family did end up getting arrested,
Speaker 1: all right, and that is your really probably harassment. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: she just kept harassing him. She was handcuffed. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the charge was, but the police did take
Speaker 1: her away. They do have video of that too, and
Speaker 1: they said she immediately started playing the victim. She was
Speaker 1: apprehended by the authorities. Of course she did because she
Speaker 1: can't believe that they put her in handcuffs in this
Speaker 1: country that was designed for people like her to be
Speaker 1: able to express those kind of sentiments and those kind
Speaker 1: of emotions and not reap any contract ones for it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, well that is your room of report. Now
Speaker 1: we got front page news next. What we're talking about?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, going to talk about you Valley and the
Speaker 1: rab elementary school shooting that happened yesterday. Really difficult and
Speaker 1: sad to talk about. By something that we must discuss,
Speaker 1: all right. We were trying to get happy up, but
Speaker 1: of course the computer is slow and mercy, is that
Speaker 1: a sign we couldn't pull it up? That a sign
Speaker 1: for us to feel our feels. I was trying to
Speaker 1: stretch it. Maybe maybe that's a sign to feel our
Speaker 1: feels and maybe this is a morning that we are
Speaker 1: not supposed to be happy. This is a morning we
Speaker 1: are supposed to express whatever real, raw and emotion that
Speaker 1: we all are feeling as a collective right now. That's
Speaker 1: what that means. I just wanted to be happy though,
Speaker 1: all right, it is a choice, all right, Well, but
Speaker 1: you can't ignore you know, the realities of the world
Speaker 1: of the day. You're a parent. You're feeling the same
Speaker 1: anxiety that myself and other parents are feeling all around
Speaker 1: the country right now, and just anxiety as being a parent,
Speaker 1: just being a human being trying to survive. But I'm
Speaker 1: happy to put me in a little bit of a
Speaker 1: better move. Give you a hug from the front and
Speaker 1: back both, bah boy, I'm just kidding out. I don't
Speaker 1: need a hug. No, I don't need a hug. Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, No, no, no, all right, give me hug,
Speaker 1: give me, give me hug, Give me hug, Give me hug,
Speaker 1: give me hug around all right, give me hu all right,
Speaker 1: all right, it's not weird. Why I gotta be weird, Eddie,
Speaker 1: You shouldn't say that's weird. There's nothing weird about that.
Speaker 1: I just hugged my brother because we all feel in
Speaker 1: a way this morning. He didn't had to hug me
Speaker 1: from the back door. I feel like I did and
Speaker 1: I enjoyed you. I feel a little better than all right,

Speaker 1: you just want to say some things, whatever it is,
Speaker 1: feel free to call us after Front page News. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go you where we're starting. Well, we are going
Speaker 1: to be talking about u Valde, Texas, and again we
Speaker 1: are praying for all of the families and for everybody
Speaker 1: who knew anyone who was shot killed in this shooting.
Speaker 1: Nineteen children and two adults were killed in the mass shooting.
Speaker 1: This is now the second deadliest school shooting in the
Speaker 1: United States. The eighteen year old shooter was identified by
Speaker 1: officials as Salvador Ramos. He was shot and killed by
Speaker 1: responding law enforcement. He did arrive at rob Elementary School.
Speaker 1: He had a long rifle. He also was wearing body
Speaker 1: armor and that school, by the way, has second through
Speaker 1: fourth raiders five hundred and thirty five students. So now
Speaker 1: hours after the shooting, they said parents were desperately waiting
Speaker 1: to find out if their kids had survived. A sum
Speaker 1: told Tianna that they had to get their DNA in
Speaker 1: order to help identify the victims. Now. Before Salvador Ramos
Speaker 1: arrived at that school, he shot his grandmother Tuesday morning,
Speaker 1: and police had been called to her home. They did
Speaker 1: say at first they said she had been killed, but
Speaker 1: now they are saying she is in critical condition. Police
Speaker 1: then received another report. That report was that at about
Speaker 1: eleven thirty am, they said a vehicle had crashed into
Speaker 1: a ditch near the elementary school. Police believed that he
Speaker 1: was driving that vehicle and that's the vehicle that was
Speaker 1: inside of that ditch. After that, Ramos then exited the vehicle.
Speaker 1: He had a rifle, he had on a bulletproof vest.
Speaker 1: He was engaged by a police officer who worked at
Speaker 1: the school. After that, he was engaged by two other
Speaker 1: officers from the police department in New Valdi. They were
Speaker 1: not able to stop him, so they asked for assistance
Speaker 1: from a tactical agency. That agency did come in and
Speaker 1: they then did bring the suspect down. So they don't
Speaker 1: know how he managed to get past the officers and
Speaker 1: open fire in separate classrooms and the cause of the
Speaker 1: crash also remains unclear, but members of the community did
Speaker 1: gather for a prayer vigil in the wake of that
Speaker 1: mass shooting Grab Elementary School. Here is what one student, Jordan,
Speaker 1: had to say about the shooting. We just hear all
Speaker 1: kinds of gunshots going off, like NonStop, like clownstantly gunshots,
Speaker 1: and the world here all scared, what on the ground,
Speaker 1: fearing for our lives all right. Also, Joe Biden spoke
Speaker 1: it afterwards, and here's what he had to say. Another
Speaker 1: massacre Valde, Texas in elementary school Beautiful in the second
Speaker 1: fourth graders, and how many scores of little children who
Speaker 1: witness what happened, see their French die as if they're
Speaker 1: on a battlefield for God's sake, and'll lord the rest
Speaker 1: of their lives. Parents who will never be the same.
Speaker 1: To lose a child, it's like having a piece of
Speaker 1: your soul ripped away. There's a hollowness in your chest.
Speaker 1: You feel like you're being sucked into it, never going
Speaker 1: to be able to get out, suffocating, it's never quite
Speaker 1: the same. You know. One thing that's so one thing
Speaker 1: that's so triggering about this situation, because it's several, is that,
Speaker 1: you know, you think about self preservation, and you think
Speaker 1: about being an adult and you know, somebody walks in
Speaker 1: the room with a gun. You know, you automatically, you know,
Speaker 1: panic and you try to, you know, protect yourself. You'll
Speaker 1: imagine being a teacher in that situation and this guy
Speaker 1: walks in and you automatically your self preservation kicks in,
Speaker 1: but you don't know whether to protect yourself all protect
Speaker 1: the kids. And you think about all of these young
Speaker 1: kids who've never been in this situation like this, they
Speaker 1: don't even understand what is happening. Think about how you
Speaker 1: have a three year old, four year old, you know,
Speaker 1: at the house, and you know somebody in elementary school
Speaker 1: and they hear a loud noise and how they reacted
Speaker 1: at so imagine them reacting the gunshot. What are they
Speaker 1: supposed to do in that? Bro? What think about it?
Speaker 1: Like this? You just seen him pretty much shoot his
Speaker 1: way through the police officers that were there. So you know,
Speaker 1: the police officers didn't have enough artillery to stop him
Speaker 1: at that point because he had body armor. The police
Speaker 1: didn't have body armor on. He had a high powered rifle.
Speaker 1: So now they shoot through the police officers. What do
Speaker 1: you do us to teach your students? You just sit
Speaker 1: there and just wait and pray. There's nothing that means now.
Speaker 1: One of Ramos is former classmates. He did not want
Speaker 1: to be identified. He told CNN that Ramos recently said
Speaker 1: him a photo showing in R fifteen a backpack with
Speaker 1: rounds of ammunition and several gun magazines. He said, I
Speaker 1: was like, bro, why do you have this? And he
Speaker 1: was like, don't worry about it. He proceeded to text me,
Speaker 1: I look very different now, you wouldn't recognize me. And
Speaker 1: they said he also had stopped attending school regularly, he
Speaker 1: worked at a local Wendy's and kept to himself mostly.
Speaker 1: And here is Democratic Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut. He
Speaker 1: had made his mission to end gun violence after the
Speaker 1: two thousand and twelve massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School
Speaker 1: in his home state. And here is what he had
Speaker 1: to say. Our kids are living in fear every single
Speaker 1: time they set foot in the classroom because I think
Speaker 1: they're going to be next. What are we doing? Why
Speaker 1: do you spend all this time running for the United
Speaker 1: States Senate? Why do you go through all the hassle
Speaker 1: of getting this job, of putting yourself in a position
Speaker 1: of authority. If your answer is that as this slaughter increases,
Speaker 1: as our kids run for their lives, we do nothing.
Speaker 1: These kids weren't unlucky. Nowhere else do parents have to
Speaker 1: talk to their kids as I have had to do
Speaker 1: about why they got locked into a bathroom and told
Speaker 1: to be quiet for five minutes just in case a
Speaker 1: bad man entered that building. Nowhere else does that happen
Speaker 1: except here in the United States of America. And it
Speaker 1: is a choice, It is our choice to let it continue.
Speaker 1: What are we doing? He's absolutely right, but It's not
Speaker 1: just kids, it's all of us, because we see it
Speaker 1: happened in grocery stores, see it having in churches, elementary schools,
Speaker 1: and I know it's easy to turn the conversation to guns,
Speaker 1: and we definitely need some type of gun control in
Speaker 1: this country, with the triggers of these guns do not
Speaker 1: pull themselves. The reason these situations make us feel so
Speaker 1: helpless is because we know that we can't legislate what
Speaker 1: is in somebody's heart. We are all relying on each
Speaker 1: other to keep each other safe. So much of our
Speaker 1: safety is based on the behaviors of others, and there's
Speaker 1: nothing we can do about to hate some people in
Speaker 1: this country have for other people. I agree, and let's
Speaker 1: open up the phone lines. But I'll behind us. Bro.
Speaker 1: I'm tired tired of the speeches. I'm tired of hearing
Speaker 1: the same thing over and over, and the speeches from
Speaker 1: the president, and the speeches from the vice president, and
Speaker 1: the speeches from all these different people when nothing has
Speaker 1: ever changed. YEA, in the past, Well, how long we've
Speaker 1: been doing this breakfast club thing. Over ten years We've
Speaker 1: been hearing these speeches, and have we seen one change?
Speaker 1: Have we seen one thing put into place there, We're
Speaker 1: gonna change this, We're gonna try this, We're gonna do this. No, no,
Speaker 1: we talk about it, and then a week later we
Speaker 1: talk about the NBA playoffs again, and then yeah, and
Speaker 1: then and then what happens? Then a month from now,
Speaker 1: something like this happens again, and then what do we get?
Speaker 1: Another speech that's right and the president and advice. I
Speaker 1: don't I'm tired of your damn speech and I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear about And it's also on people, and
Speaker 1: we all have our own responsibilities too. If there's ways
Speaker 1: that we can also do things to combat whatever, and
Speaker 1: to organize and do whatever we can, because I know
Speaker 1: a lot of times people spring into action when it
Speaker 1: affects them personally too. But let's not wait for that.
Speaker 1: Everybody can participate. I agree with all of that, But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask y'all one simple question once again, how
Speaker 1: do you legislate what is in somebody's heart? Like, how
Speaker 1: do you get to the root of the hate that
Speaker 1: some people just possess for other people in this country?
Speaker 1: And by the way, don't think it can't happen to you.
Speaker 1: It can't talk A bunch of elderly black people get
Speaker 1: killed in Buffalo. We saw a bunch of changing Americans
Speaker 1: get killed in the church. We saw a bunch of
Speaker 1: kids get killed yesterday. Like none of us are special.
Speaker 1: We all go to the grocery store, we all go
Speaker 1: to places of worship, our kids go to school. Like
Speaker 1: there should be nothing that makes you feel more helpless. Uh,
Speaker 1: in this situation that we're dealing with right now, let's
Speaker 1: open up the phone lines. Talk to us, Vince, tell
Speaker 1: us your concerns, how you feel. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club, and your opinions to the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club to come on one morning. Everybody's DJ Envy
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Now if you just join us, we're just taking your calls.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've all been talking about the shooting that
Speaker 1: happened in Texas and you just wanted to open the
Speaker 1: phone lines. Just talking, man, We're just talking. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have any answers. I don't know
Speaker 1: why people keep backing like they you know, have answers.
Speaker 1: But you know, let's just let's just talk about it. Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this all is? Myers, Florida. Okay, talk to us, Mama.
Speaker 1: I just have a feeling that like doing mental health
Speaker 1: evaluations on these people before they're allowed to have gun
Speaker 1: cards or purchase guns would help us assess what, you know,
Speaker 1: what their mental health state is as far as what
Speaker 1: they could possibly do when they are are access for
Speaker 1: that gun. And I also feel like looking at people's
Speaker 1: social media to see if they've been posting disturbing things.
Speaker 1: I think that mad like look through all of that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think social media is actually probably maybe just more
Speaker 1: important than I tell you why. You know, you may
Speaker 1: can figure out if somebody has mental health issues or
Speaker 1: not by doing mental health background checks. But man, you
Speaker 1: cannot measure evil, and I think that we often leave
Speaker 1: evil out of the equation. Somebod these people are just
Speaker 1: pure evil. Yeah, I definitely agree. The problem with social
Speaker 1: media is so many people have their account private, so
Speaker 1: it's a lot it's sometimes hard for us to do that.
Speaker 1: But if we assess their family history and background, then
Speaker 1: we have a lot of more understanding of where that
Speaker 1: can possibly lead. Specially Michael, that's true. I agree. I
Speaker 1: think both. I think both. I think let's take a
Speaker 1: look at everything, right Okay, So there's so many people
Speaker 1: that are eighteen and don't have some of our backgrounds.
Speaker 1: If we look at some of the mass murderers that
Speaker 1: eighteen years old and fourthy didn't have a corom our
Speaker 1: background yet, that's right. One, it might be different, that's right.
Speaker 1: Thank you Ashley. Hello, who's this hey? Derek says, from
Speaker 1: what I say it again, I thank all the Steed.
Speaker 1: Oh you know, Augustine, what's our brother? Talk to us?
Speaker 1: I feel like, man, if they worked to make this,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm all against the death penalty, man, but
Speaker 1: if they worked to make it along far as any
Speaker 1: hate puring for towards two aldern race anything is automatically
Speaker 1: death penalty, I think we'll have less of this going along. Man.
Speaker 1: I had one of my one of my good friends
Speaker 1: yesterday told me that he wishes that we did public
Speaker 1: executions when stuff like this happened. That's what he said,
Speaker 1: he said. He said, he would you if you think
Speaker 1: about that man that did that shooting, bro, and how
Speaker 1: they carried him on the thing they didn't do when
Speaker 1: they were the rest of that man. They wiped the
Speaker 1: sweat off his head. Man, and he knew he would
Speaker 1: grow hit the death Pimothy, he wouldn't even all enough
Speaker 1: like that. Bro, I don't know if this guy was
Speaker 1: scared to die. I felt like a suicide mission going
Speaker 1: in there like that. And then you're talking about the
Speaker 1: guy from Buffalo. You're talking about right, particulate, But with
Speaker 1: this one, I don't know that people that do things
Speaker 1: like that think that they're living automatically know it side mission.
Speaker 1: One thing I know nobody player about it the children,
Speaker 1: So he automatically was a suicide mission. But I feel
Speaker 1: like the guy in Buffalo, and he knew his life
Speaker 1: was gonna be tensing like the people lying, he wouldn't
Speaker 1: even do that like that. Thank you brother? Hello? Who's
Speaker 1: this Andrea? Hey? Andrea talked to us this morning. Um.
Speaker 1: I just my thing was is why didn't the friends
Speaker 1: say something. I think the guy was trying to reach out.
Speaker 1: You don't just send somebody a picture and then be like,
Speaker 1: don't worry about it and don't say the things are
Speaker 1: you could prevent it. We have been like trained or
Speaker 1: like ingrained in our upbringings is if you see something
Speaker 1: that's not our business, and we got to get past
Speaker 1: that and look for these keys, like you know signs, signs.
Speaker 1: I will say this though I mean it, and this
Speaker 1: is gonna be sad, but you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: times in these different areas, especially in Texas, kids with
Speaker 1: guns eighteen year olds is kind of normal. He didn't
Speaker 1: make a threat, he didn't say he was going to
Speaker 1: shoot up for school, he didn't say none of those things.
Speaker 1: I'm sure if that girl felt that or knew that,
Speaker 1: she would have called immediately, you know. So it's I
Speaker 1: wouldn't blame it on that girl, but I would definitely
Speaker 1: say that. No, no, no, I don't blame it on them.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying just in general that it's something like
Speaker 1: we got to look for those signs and stuff, especially
Speaker 1: when it's somebody you know that it's been picked on
Speaker 1: throughout school because they said that, like the kids been
Speaker 1: ticked on and weed. That's whenever you hear about this stuff.
Speaker 1: It's been somebody who who's been gone through stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: through their childhood and now they're just taking it out
Speaker 1: on everybody else. So we've got to look for a
Speaker 1: little science for um, you know this type of thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you, mama, you have the safety too, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: call us up eight hundred five A five one oh
Speaker 1: five one. I'm just in. I need to hear some
Speaker 1: positivity this morning. Can we play what happened to Mary
Speaker 1: J Blide to be happy? We wanna play Mary? Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear Mary J. Blide to be happy?
Speaker 1: Don't nobody, you know, make me feel better than Mary
Speaker 1: JA Blide would be heavy? Nobody and shut up happy.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning. That was Mary J.
Speaker 1: Blige would be happy morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye,
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy we are to Breakfast Club. We're just
Speaker 1: taking your calls this morning. We're just allowing you to
Speaker 1: call and just talk. Of course, the shooting that happened
Speaker 1: in Texas, a lot of people are calling, a lot
Speaker 1: of people are affected, and we just want to hear
Speaker 1: from you. Guys. Hello, who's this JJ from San Antonio?
Speaker 1: What's up? JJ talked to us brother and uh my
Speaker 1: heart's heavy this morning. Listen to y'all, but all the
Speaker 1: main Yes, sir, you said we can't legend he said
Speaker 1: we can't legislate hate, Yes, sir, in fact, but we
Speaker 1: can sure and make sure toughs to act on that hate. Man,
Speaker 1: We can sure and make sure tough for these people.
Speaker 1: Absolutely just artillery to murder our kids. We gotta make
Speaker 1: it nearly impossible to do that. Man, every time I
Speaker 1: listen to the story, my heartbreaks even more. He stopped
Speaker 1: through numerous police officers, so it didn't matter what they
Speaker 1: tried to do. He had the artillery to get past them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he had the body armor, he had the AAR fifteen,
Speaker 1: he had the long rifle. You you're absolutely right, and
Speaker 1: and that and that's and that goes back to you know, shit,
Speaker 1: civilians be able to have those type of long long
Speaker 1: rifles and embody armor. You know what I mean, it's
Speaker 1: got to be impossible. We have to make it impossible
Speaker 1: for that to happen. There's no need for weapons awards
Speaker 1: to be at the hands of the masters. Listen. I mean,
Speaker 1: we just can't sit there and say we can't let
Speaker 1: hey let leave. We're giving up. No, I don't, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think we're giving up my brother.
Speaker 1: I just feel like, man, this country still has in
Speaker 1: dealt with the root of all of our issues, and
Speaker 1: that is just a hate that some people will hold
Speaker 1: for others like we don't even we're afraid to even
Speaker 1: have real conversations about white supremacy and systemic racism, like
Speaker 1: you gotta go back man, you know too, when we
Speaker 1: first got to this country and how violence this country
Speaker 1: was built on violence, this country was built on blood.
Speaker 1: And we can't even have those conversations anymore. I don't
Speaker 1: want to talk about critical race theory in schools, like
Speaker 1: we're not even getting to the root of the real
Speaker 1: issues in this country. Hello. Who's this Andrew? Hey, Andrew,
Speaker 1: good morning. I talked to us brother, all right. I
Speaker 1: feel like mental health uh should be commercials everywhere, mental
Speaker 1: health resources uh to allot of people to kind of
Speaker 1: get the health they need before uh, something like that
Speaker 1: kind of happens. I'm my opinion. I agree with you
Speaker 1: wholeheartedly man. You know, Um, that's what I mean when
Speaker 1: I talk about that's another aspect of you know, they
Speaker 1: hate that existing people heard because some of these people
Speaker 1: are just in paint and they project that pain on
Speaker 1: other people. You know, yeah, exactly, Um, and especially has
Speaker 1: been a male um. But they don't they don't allow
Speaker 1: us to kind of express ourselves in a sense. Uh,
Speaker 1: something like that's never happened. I'm not making any excuses.
Speaker 1: It's never stating I got two kids in my own
Speaker 1: I'm kind of broken up about it. But I'm with you, brother,
Speaker 1: this is a nuanced conversation. This isn't like, you know,
Speaker 1: one thing that can solve this issue too. It's too
Speaker 1: much of a complicated issue. So I totally understand what
Speaker 1: you're saying. You know, I sit there and you know,
Speaker 1: and like I said earlier, I'm tired of the speeches.
Speaker 1: But it's like, as parents, you know, if you have kids,
Speaker 1: what do you do? You know, man, how do you protect?
Speaker 1: You know my anxiety? I said, you know, my kids
Speaker 1: schools have cameras. I'm always look that the cameras, But
Speaker 1: what does that do? Like how can I get there? How?
Speaker 1: I'm not superman? But how do you protect? It's just
Speaker 1: there's nothing, But that's what that's There's nothing that makes
Speaker 1: you feel more helpless than this as a parent, because
Speaker 1: we try to keep our kids safe. We send them
Speaker 1: to safe space in school. It's supposed to be a
Speaker 1: safe space, correct, you know what I mean. But then again,
Speaker 1: grocery stores are supposed to be a safe space. The
Speaker 1: church places of worship are absolutely supposed to be a
Speaker 1: safe space. So it's like where are we safe? You know?
Speaker 1: And you know, you know, I got real bad anxiety.
Speaker 1: And my therapist always says, think about all the time
Speaker 1: you thought something bad was going to happen, but how
Speaker 1: many times did it actually happen? And you know what
Speaker 1: the craziest part is, you know when you know when
Speaker 1: I felt the safest, when during the pandemic when nobody
Speaker 1: could leave the house. Yes, but that's not reality. That's
Speaker 1: not reality. That reality. You know it's the safest because
Speaker 1: you got your family and your kids there, but you
Speaker 1: know it's let me finish my dog because you know,
Speaker 1: I want people to think. It's like, you know, my
Speaker 1: therapist always says, think about all the times you thought
Speaker 1: something bad was going to happen, but how many times
Speaker 1: did something actually happen. That works in most cases, but
Speaker 1: not when it comes to stuff like this. No, because
Speaker 1: we're not special. We go to the grocery store, right,
Speaker 1: we go to places of workship, we our kids go
Speaker 1: to school. We're just out and about around people all
Speaker 1: the time. And we got to rely on other humans
Speaker 1: behavior to stay safe. That's the most unpredictable thing on
Speaker 1: this planet. Bright like, yeah, no, how can I not
Speaker 1: have anxiety? We'll take some more calls. It's the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Clocal morning. Hello, who's this? How you doing? What's up? Brother?
Speaker 1: Talk to us? So listen. I really, I really feel
Speaker 1: like the conversation is going in the wrong direction. Um.
Speaker 1: I feel like we have we have decided that the
Speaker 1: answer is dumb wars, and we don't know for sure
Speaker 1: that that is the exact answer. Now, when you think
Speaker 1: about it, violence has been committed with use of a car.
Speaker 1: Let's just say there's been violence. People who ran in
Speaker 1: some protesters with a car and killed a bunch of people.
Speaker 1: But we haven't talked about banning cars or made it
Speaker 1: inconvenient for citizens to buy cars. I do believe that
Speaker 1: there's a solution, but it does not involve um limiting
Speaker 1: or making it inconvenient to citizens, especially black people in America,
Speaker 1: to harm themselves. I think that is the what's it?
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear your solutions. What's your solutions? So
Speaker 1: you don't believe it. You don't believe in gun control,
Speaker 1: that's not that's not what he's saying. I believe I
Speaker 1: believe in sensible gun control, yes, but I'm not I'm not.
Speaker 1: I can ofcuse you do I'm not a fan of
Speaker 1: making it inconvenient for stitiens, for those of us who
Speaker 1: need to protect ourselves family, because you do when you
Speaker 1: compare it to getting a license, right, you do have
Speaker 1: to take a road test, and you do have to
Speaker 1: take a written test. No, that's not what he's saying.
Speaker 1: You say that if somebody uses a car to kill people,
Speaker 1: they're not talking about banning cars, right, So what is
Speaker 1: this you? Also, even if you say, even if you
Speaker 1: take all the guns off the table, like in some
Speaker 1: countries they took all the guns off the table, they're
Speaker 1: gonna find a way to kill people. There's another weapon
Speaker 1: that becomes the weapon of choice. That's right, But I
Speaker 1: think in London they use a whole bunch of nine
Speaker 1: nuns become the weapon of choice. So what's your solution?
Speaker 1: What's your solution? Though, we have to be more nuanced
Speaker 1: in our conversation here. We have to think about all
Speaker 1: the technology that is available that is not being utilized
Speaker 1: to help to help it out in our quest for
Speaker 1: gun safety. Now, like Charlottagne is saying, you cannot legislate
Speaker 1: or wait, hate, you cannot you there is no solution
Speaker 1: for racism. Racism there's no way you can end racism.
Speaker 1: You're not going to end hate in the world. So
Speaker 1: what you have to do is make it inconvenient for
Speaker 1: someone to um to to to basically act on their hate.
Speaker 1: You have to make it inconvenient, and we have to
Speaker 1: be more nuanced, think like, what do we have at
Speaker 1: our disposal to make it inconvenient for these people to
Speaker 1: act on hate. We cannot just keep falling into the
Speaker 1: tropic saying let's take guns away from everyone. But I
Speaker 1: will say this though, going through disproportionately black people is
Speaker 1: going to disproportionately affect minorities. It's gonna take our ability, right.
Speaker 1: I agree, then we are not even arms it is.
Speaker 1: But I will say this though, when when I look
Speaker 1: at and this is just my opinion, this is Rashauan
Speaker 1: Casey DJNV speaking. I don't feel like an eighteen year
Speaker 1: old kid should have the power to carry an a
Speaker 1: OFF fifteen with you know, clips that can have nineteen
Speaker 1: bullets at a time when our own police don't have
Speaker 1: that same ammunition to protect the our society. I don't
Speaker 1: think that an eighteen year old kids should have the
Speaker 1: ability to buy these type of weapons. I'm with you,
Speaker 1: I don't think I seen is too much for I
Speaker 1: don't think nobody debating that. And even if you shoot
Speaker 1: a dead with all those bullets, the dare is not
Speaker 1: gonna You're not gonna be able to eat the meat.
Speaker 1: So there's no reason that anybody is saying that take
Speaker 1: away guns from everybody. But I do feel like there
Speaker 1: needs to be yes. I don't think it should be
Speaker 1: super convenient and easy to obtain a gun man. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you this, regulating and I'm go say this
Speaker 1: for a million time. The triggers of these guns don't
Speaker 1: pull themselves. And the reason these situations make us feel
Speaker 1: so helpless, it's because, deep down in our hearts, we
Speaker 1: know we cannot legislate hate because and and and what
Speaker 1: and the other thing is we move so fast. Like
Speaker 1: right now, everybody's talking about the kids. Yes, this is
Speaker 1: yesterday was the kids. But a week ago it was
Speaker 1: a bunch of elderly black men, I mean elderly black
Speaker 1: people in a grocery store. Then there was some Asian
Speaker 1: Americans the very next day in the church. Now it's
Speaker 1: the kids. But so it's a bigger conversation. It's not
Speaker 1: that's doing a shooting. So we can say, yes, we
Speaker 1: don't want an eighteen year old to own a gun.
Speaker 1: But the other week it wasn't an eighteen year old,
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. It was the fifty seven year old
Speaker 1: on the subway here in New York City. Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to ban all weapons and
Speaker 1: old guns, but I just feel like there's there's no
Speaker 1: reason to own an AAR fifteen, a gun that you
Speaker 1: can buy a device online and be able to shoot
Speaker 1: rapid fire at people. We gotta because even if you
Speaker 1: say hunting, you go hunting. I've never been hunting. You
Speaker 1: went hunting, right, you're from the South. If you shoot
Speaker 1: any animal with that many shots, can you eat the meat? Um?
Speaker 1: With Nobody against any of that, But it's more than
Speaker 1: just gun control. It's gun control, it's mental health, is
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's racism. Correct. Really it's a bunch
Speaker 1: of Asian Americans got shot in the church, Black people
Speaker 1: got shot in the grocery store. The black dude that
Speaker 1: shot people in the subway, he was shooting people because
Speaker 1: he didn't like don't I can't remember what he didn't like,
Speaker 1: But it's like, how do you legislate what's in people's hearts.
Speaker 1: This is why things like critical race theory matter, because
Speaker 1: we have to tell the truth about this country. We
Speaker 1: cannot heal what we don't reveal. We're afraid to even
Speaker 1: have these conversations about what the root of the problems
Speaker 1: are in this country. Everything we're discussing is a problem,
Speaker 1: but we still got to get to the root of it.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we got rumors on the way. Yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Young Thug and lyrics from several of
Speaker 1: his songs are going to be used as evidence in court.
Speaker 1: We'll tell you which tracks there are talking about. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that nextus The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, let's get to an Now it's about
Speaker 1: Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, Well, Caitlyn
Speaker 1: Jenner was on the Pivot podcast and she talked about
Speaker 1: a multitude of things. One thing that she discussed is
Speaker 1: the popularity of being a transgender. According to her point
Speaker 1: of view, here's what you have to say. There's so
Speaker 1: many things on YouTube on kids who have transitioned, and
Speaker 1: people see this and it's become right now, this issue
Speaker 1: has become so big almost every day on the news.
Speaker 1: There's something about being tramp that kind of bothers me,
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, For this reason, being trans
Speaker 1: is about that much of the population, it is such
Speaker 1: a small group of people that are actually trans, are
Speaker 1: really suffering with gender dysphoria. And right now, because of
Speaker 1: the amount of publicity that it's getting, it's like everybody
Speaker 1: thinks they're trumps, which is not the case. She's right,
Speaker 1: but it's her place to say, it ain't mine. But
Speaker 1: I will say it's the highlighted It is the highlighted
Speaker 1: meal on the menu. So if you give people, you know,
Speaker 1: the option, especially kids, they probably will choose it for
Speaker 1: those reasons that she just said. I mean, I have
Speaker 1: no idea. I have no idea. I have no idea either,
Speaker 1: but I know one thing can tell you if that's
Speaker 1: true or not. I'll tell you one thing. But you
Speaker 1: put avengers on the menu, I'm going I'm going to
Speaker 1: say I identify as an avenger. I'll tell you that much, Okay,
Speaker 1: all right now. In addition to that, Caitlyn Jenner also
Speaker 1: talked about living with Kanye West. Kimberly has been through
Speaker 1: a lot with the guys. She's been with, you know,
Speaker 1: especially Kanye. I'm a very complicated guy. I really like
Speaker 1: Kanye got along with him so well. Two of us
Speaker 1: stick great together and through w' even when I transition,
Speaker 1: and he was so on my side and you know,
Speaker 1: loving it body. He was very difficult to live with.
Speaker 1: And Pete is one hundred and eighty degrees the other direction.
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, he treats her so well.
Speaker 1: And when they were over here, Kim is so happy,
Speaker 1: and Kim deserves to be happy. Hey, keep talking like that,
Speaker 1: Kanye gonna want somebody feed. All right, you're gonna pull up. Nah.
Speaker 1: I think maybe Kanye's over Maybe Kanye's man. You just
Speaker 1: said that. I don't know that he's one eighty in
Speaker 1: the other direction. Then Pete treats hers so well, So
Speaker 1: how did Kanye treat her if it's one eighty in
Speaker 1: the other direction? You got squeal kitla from Kanye gonna
Speaker 1: be the next man to gather. I got kit Let's
Speaker 1: talk about Bronx. Some Bronx jerial rappers have been named
Speaker 1: in a sixty five count indictment attempt at murder assault weapons.
Speaker 1: This is all following the YSL case in Atlanta. Authorities
Speaker 1: in New York have handed down a massive set of charges,
Speaker 1: and they are saying that they're going to be using
Speaker 1: some of the lyrics from these songs. Remember that's been
Speaker 1: an ongoing issue in the Bronx. Yeah, I'm talking about members,
Speaker 1: I said. Bronx Tero rappers have been named in a
Speaker 1: sixty five count in Diamond. That's all following the YSL
Speaker 1: case in Atlanta. Now authorities in New York are talking
Speaker 1: about doing something similar here. Okay, got it all right. Now. Additionally,
Speaker 1: a charge of animal cruelty was added to the list
Speaker 1: of counts and connection to a live stream. They said
Speaker 1: a pigeon reportedly flew in their frame and someone on
Speaker 1: camera said if they reached a certain number of views,
Speaker 1: they would kill it, and when that goal was met,
Speaker 1: the person beat the pigeon to death with a cane,
Speaker 1: I guess on camera. So that's another charge that's been
Speaker 1: added in addition to the sixty five count indictment, including
Speaker 1: conspiracy to commit murder, attempted murder, attempted assault, criminal possession
Speaker 1: of a weapon, and numerous are the charges related to
Speaker 1: multiple shootings in and around the River Park Towers complex.
Speaker 1: Now let's take it over to Young Duck. Lyrics from
Speaker 1: several of his songs will be used as evidence in courts.
Speaker 1: So but they're fifty six count indictment. They're using several
Speaker 1: of Young Thugs songs and lyrics from between twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty one. Some of those songs that they
Speaker 1: are using Young Thug anybody. I never killed anybody, but
Speaker 1: I got something to doing that batter, I got this,
Speaker 1: she's on my bag, my bat carry get like I'm
Speaker 1: moving about it. I told him to shoot, to hunt
Speaker 1: around like he's trying to move it about it. He
Speaker 1: would like lamb in the moan and skip the school.
Speaker 1: That's truce it back. Made me some resting moan, and
Speaker 1: I had me you back by the moan, and I
Speaker 1: had me some breaks by the moan, and I had
Speaker 1: us to spake by the moan, and I got on
Speaker 1: me on the moana. Rescue me up, only old shoulder.
Speaker 1: You get to trial, ahead you go. Also the song
Speaker 1: take it to Trial rest line for real? Yeah you
Speaker 1: know I killed my trial out of bed it twice straight.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fit it like it came in. I don't know,

Speaker 1: man and bit cha, I didn't have shot at your mammy.
Speaker 1: Need to sit down. If you can't stammer out of
Speaker 1: tur down, I ought my san, take it the trial,
Speaker 1: get a uphill, take it the trial. Yeah, you're gonna waggle. No,
Speaker 1: that's your fall. We don't talk to Russell pay for that.
Speaker 1: Can't get that just if we're waging all right, hit
Speaker 1: me out, Oh God, and one more I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: for you guys. They're also talking about this song Ski
Speaker 1: and also the song Slattie I gotta stand I ain't
Speaker 1: never sing, Yeah, ain't killed this the front of his mama,
Speaker 1: kick myn't my ships. No. I don't know if those
Speaker 1: are the types of lyrics you can use in court,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Sadly, those are just generic
Speaker 1: rap lyrics. In two thousand and twenty two, now, there
Speaker 1: are plenty of people who actually detail the crime that
Speaker 1: they have committed on the records. They can't tails they
Speaker 1: detail the crimes they have committed in interviews. If I'm
Speaker 1: a prosecutor, if I'm law enforcement, I totally understand why
Speaker 1: y'all use some of those not those but not those
Speaker 1: that thug just spit and what he's saying ski, i'd
Speaker 1: be scanning and ski. I don't even I don't even know.
Speaker 1: I don't even like when you talk. Sometimes I don't
Speaker 1: anything everybody doesn't mean in ski. Yeah that just sounded
Speaker 1: wold you don't ski when when ski come? I don't
Speaker 1: be skiing and ski. I don't even know what skiing
Speaker 1: and ski means, what a ski and ski means all.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. All right, I'm old, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know what that is. That's called ski. But you
Speaker 1: said you'd be skiing and ski skinn dance and the
Speaker 1: song ski. Oh you meant skiing ski, But that's what
Speaker 1: you meant. Word matter you meant to say, I'm skiing?
Speaker 1: What I know? What you know? You don't remember? I
Speaker 1: bad never mind what I'm not gonna take. But I
Speaker 1: thought it's not like you head nobody says ski. I
Speaker 1: couldn't tell me I'll be skiing and skis follow my
Speaker 1: faith all that my all on my mouth he did
Speaker 1: on my back, in your back, I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know you. I'm scared to asking who he's giving a
Speaker 1: donkey to. Yeah, I don't even know, Like, I don't
Speaker 1: know who I'm giving my donkey to this, leave me alone,
Speaker 1: let me vent this morning. Okay, but you did say
Speaker 1: you'd be skiing. I said ski If you said skiing too, ski,
Speaker 1: that's different to get it. You said skiing, And yeah,
Speaker 1: one little hug this morning. All you're freaky. It's the
Speaker 1: breakfast Lug on morning w w p R FM HD
Speaker 1: one New York and I heart radio station. Let me
Speaker 1: put a little bit of the breakfast Club your life.
Speaker 1: Stop Angela y Charlomagne's the docking with the best. This
Speaker 1: is a miracle. There is no question that there are
Speaker 1: problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you
Speaker 1: are a donkey to the latest on that police killing
Speaker 1: of a black man, not a new developments in the
Speaker 1: deathly Spas shooting rampage. If it was a really bad
Speaker 1: day for him and this is what he did, and
Speaker 1: so we are in a state of emergency. Okay. White
Speaker 1: supremacist violence is it always has been, the number one
Speaker 1: threat to oxcide. But I'm also very proud that my
Speaker 1: wife was White's the practice club bitches. All right, please
Speaker 1: tell me why was I your donkey of the day. No,
Speaker 1: today is not an eye it's in us. Okay, Donkey
Speaker 1: of the Day for Wednesday made twenty fifth goals to
Speaker 1: America the US, which I always thought was a great
Speaker 1: abbreviation for the United States, because this is about us,
Speaker 1: and it's a simple question, what are we gonna do.
Speaker 1: There's a meme going around, and the meme shows the
Speaker 1: cycle of how things are when it comes to these
Speaker 1: mass shootings. It starts it says mass shooting media extravagant,
Speaker 1: the thoughts and prayers, social media, gun debates, no one
Speaker 1: actually does anything back to normal. Look, I'm not about
Speaker 1: to act like I'm some expert on any of this.
Speaker 1: I'm just the taxpaying American citizen, a parent, a husband,
Speaker 1: a human just trying to survive on this planet like
Speaker 1: everyone else. And I tell y'all all the time, we
Speaker 1: are relying on the most unpredictable thing in this world
Speaker 1: to keep us safe. And that's human behavior. As witnessed
Speaker 1: in Buffalo and Tops grocery store, as witnessed in a
Speaker 1: Geneva Presbyterian church, is witnessed that rob elementary school in Texas.
Speaker 1: All it takes is one evil human having a bad day,
Speaker 1: one evil human on his worst behavior, and not only
Speaker 1: murder other humans, but the murder millions of people, people's spirits. Okay, See,
Speaker 1: these tragedies take lives. They impact the families of these
Speaker 1: victims in unspeakable ways, ways that I could never understand,
Speaker 1: and I pray to God I never have to understand.
Speaker 1: But what I want to talk to us about, you know,
Speaker 1: us being the United States is a question Connecticut Senator
Speaker 1: Christian Murphy asked yesterday, and that question is what are
Speaker 1: we doing? Okay that me and my referenced earlier says
Speaker 1: after the social media gun debates, no one actually does anything?
Speaker 1: And why is dead? I have my thoughts, but let's
Speaker 1: hear what us sena to christ Murphy had to say yesterday.
Speaker 1: Our kids are living in fear every single time they
Speaker 1: set foot in a classroom because I think they're going
Speaker 1: to be next. What are we doing? Why do you
Speaker 1: spend all this time running for the United States Senate?
Speaker 1: Why do you go through all the hassle of getting
Speaker 1: this job, of putting yourself in a position of authority.
Speaker 1: If your answer is that as this slaughter increases, as
Speaker 1: our kids run for their lives, we do nothing. These
Speaker 1: kids weren't unlucky. Nowhere else do parents have to talk
Speaker 1: to their kids as I have had to do about
Speaker 1: why they got locked into a bathroom and told to
Speaker 1: be quiet for five minutes just in case a bad
Speaker 1: man entered that building. Nowhere else does that happen except
Speaker 1: here in the United States of America. And it is
Speaker 1: a choice. It is our choice to let it continue.
Speaker 1: What are we doing? What are we doing? To Christ?
Speaker 1: Murphy is right, But I would say this, it's not
Speaker 1: just the kids living in fear. It's all of us,
Speaker 1: which bothers me spiritually, because we should walk by faith,
Speaker 1: not by fear, but it's hard not to. But it's
Speaker 1: not just the kids. We just saw, you know, ten adults,
Speaker 1: mostly eld just shot and killed in the grocery store
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. We saw the Asian Americans shot in the church.
Speaker 1: You know, just what was it? A month ago? I
Speaker 1: can't remember now, but like a month ago, we saw
Speaker 1: the guy in the subway in New York. He shot
Speaker 1: a bunch of people, you know, I think he was
Speaker 1: talking in Asians. Look, man, I know it's easy to
Speaker 1: turn the conversation the guns, and we definitely need some
Speaker 1: type of gun control in this country. But the triggers
Speaker 1: of these guns don't pull themselves. Okay. The reason these
Speaker 1: situations make us feel so helpless is because we know
Speaker 1: that we can't legislate what is in somebody's heart. You
Speaker 1: can't legislate hate. We are all, like I said, already
Speaker 1: relying on each other. They keep each other safe. So
Speaker 1: much of our safety is based on the behavior of buzzs,
Speaker 1: and there is nothing we can do about their hate,
Speaker 1: the prejudice, the bigotry, the evil some people in this
Speaker 1: country just have for other people. And that's why no
Speaker 1: one actually does anything because a lot of us simply
Speaker 1: don't know what there is to do. We have been
Speaker 1: dealt with the root of all our issues, and that
Speaker 1: is their hate that some of us hold for others
Speaker 1: in this country. This country, America, was built on bigotry.
Speaker 1: The system is designed to be what it is. It's
Speaker 1: designed to be as violent as it is as it is.
Speaker 1: It's a system where people feel superior to others, and
Speaker 1: since they feel superior to others, they feel like they
Speaker 1: can dictate whether you live or die. You no idea.
Speaker 1: With really bad anxiety, and one of my coping mechanisms
Speaker 1: when I have a panic attack is my therapist always
Speaker 1: tells me to think about the time all the times
Speaker 1: you thought something bad was going to happen, but how
Speaker 1: many times did something bad actually happen? That works in
Speaker 1: most cases, but when it comes to stuff like this,
Speaker 1: it doesn't work because I can't get my mind off
Speaker 1: these tragedies because this could have happened to any of us.
Speaker 1: We're not special. Did you think you're special? We go
Speaker 1: to the grocery store. I love going to Wagmans for
Speaker 1: no reason. We all go. We all go to our
Speaker 1: different places of worship, Our kids go to school. These
Speaker 1: are supposed to be safe spaces. But what happens when
Speaker 1: the safe spaces ain't safe? No more? America? Do we
Speaker 1: really understand the psychological impact this is having on us?
Speaker 1: This is impacting us in psychological ways that we don't
Speaker 1: even understand. This impacts how A parent like I know
Speaker 1: that I'm depriving my kids the things that they should
Speaker 1: be doing, like field trips, like going to them all
Speaker 1: with friends, any public outing. Right now, I'm really thinking
Speaker 1: about homeschool and my kids because I don't have any
Speaker 1: answers for the evil that exists within people. These tragedies
Speaker 1: are complex, Okay, I feel like they're rooted in the
Speaker 1: violence that is American culture. There's you know, racism involved
Speaker 1: in these conversations. There's gun controlled conversations to be had,
Speaker 1: mental health conversation to be had. But the reason we
Speaker 1: can't have any of them because nobody can simply put
Speaker 1: their agenda down for a second to simply be human.
Speaker 1: I don't care what political part of you, and I
Speaker 1: don't care what your finances are like you can be
Speaker 1: rich poor, I don't care. I don't care what religion
Speaker 1: you are. I don't care what your sexuality is. I
Speaker 1: don't care what you identify as. I don't care what
Speaker 1: your race is. If you don't think after these past
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, this can't happen to you or somebody
Speaker 1: you love, you're bugging. Nobody is safe. We've seen these
Speaker 1: things happen at country music festivals, churches, other places of worship,
Speaker 1: mall schools. But white people, do you think you're safe?
Speaker 1: You think that someone isn't gonna say white supremacists and
Speaker 1: killing folks, So let's get some get back. We all
Speaker 1: heard of the first day. First day came poem right first,
Speaker 1: they came for the socialist And you know I did
Speaker 1: not speak out because I wasn't a socialist. Then they
Speaker 1: came for the trade unionist and I didn't speak out
Speaker 1: because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for
Speaker 1: the Jewish people, and I didn't speak out because I
Speaker 1: wasn't Jewish. Then they came for me and there was
Speaker 1: no one left to speak for me. Yeah, that's who
Speaker 1: we are. Don't wait until it happens to you or
Speaker 1: someone you love and you know are someone you can
Speaker 1: relate to before you do something. But that helplessness, that
Speaker 1: helplessness that I feel this morning is simply because I
Speaker 1: don't know what there is for us to do, because
Speaker 1: I don't see how you legislate hate. Maybe y'all got
Speaker 1: some answers because I don't happen nohing. So until we
Speaker 1: figure it out, which won't be in this lifetime, please
Speaker 1: let Remy Mark give us, as in the United States,
Speaker 1: the biggest he hare he ha he ha, You stupid mother,
Speaker 1: Are you dumb? I truly feel like it's above us now.
Speaker 1: I just don't think this is a problem that will
Speaker 1: ever be solved in our lifetime. I'm not saying let's
Speaker 1: not try to solve it. I just don't think it
Speaker 1: will be solved in our lifetime. All right, well, has
Speaker 1: it slewted to my guy Jay Barnett too? Man? He
Speaker 1: actually posted, He posted, whether it be through a racially
Speaker 1: motivated act of violence toward black people at a grocery store?
Speaker 1: Are fearing what may happen to your child at school?
Speaker 1: It has become mentally exhausting just to exist within our society.
Speaker 1: If that ain't accurate, I don't know what is. We
Speaker 1: usually do ask you here, so if you don't mind,
Speaker 1: we'll push ask you back to tomorrow. That's no problem.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's open up the phone lines. What
Speaker 1: do we want to talk to the people about now?
Speaker 1: But we're all mentally exhausted, And you know I did
Speaker 1: ask a question just now. Man, I don't see how
Speaker 1: you legislate hate. I don't see how you how you
Speaker 1: legislate evil. I really don't. But I would love to
Speaker 1: see if any of y'all got some answers for that question.
Speaker 1: So it's the question, how do you legislate? How do
Speaker 1: you legislate hate? All right? You can do all the
Speaker 1: gun control laws you want, you can do mental health
Speaker 1: background check, we should do all of that, But how
Speaker 1: do you legislate hate? All right? Well, let's go to
Speaker 1: the phone lines eight hundred five A five one oh
Speaker 1: five one. It's the Breakfast Club. Come morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: If everybody is DJ Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne the guy,
Speaker 1: we are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just join us,
Speaker 1: we're talking about Charlomagne's Donkey of the Day. Well yeah,
Speaker 1: I just you know, I gave Donkey the Day to
Speaker 1: America man, because we're asking the same question again, you know,
Speaker 1: what are we going to do? And you know, there's
Speaker 1: this meme going around, and the meme shows the cycle
Speaker 1: of how things are when it comes to these mass
Speaker 1: shootings and its thoughts by saying mass shooting, media extravaganza,
Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers, social media, gun debates, nobody actually does
Speaker 1: anything and back to normal. And you know, I understand that,
Speaker 1: you know, all of those those kids got killed in
Speaker 1: the elementary school yesterday, But this is something that should
Speaker 1: be impacting all of us, because just last week it
Speaker 1: was a bunch of elderly people in the grocery store,
Speaker 1: and then it was the Asian Americans at the church
Speaker 1: literally the next day. Now it's the kids. So this
Speaker 1: is something that should be impacting all of us. And
Speaker 1: so I know we're having these conversations about gun control
Speaker 1: and mental health, and yes, we should be having all
Speaker 1: of those, and we should have mental health background checks
Speaker 1: with people that purchase guns. We should make it harder
Speaker 1: for people to access guns. But I have one simple question,
Speaker 1: how do you legislate hate? I wake up in the
Speaker 1: morning and I decide I don't want to take you
Speaker 1: out just because of what your race is, because of
Speaker 1: what your gender is, your sexuality is what you identify as.
Speaker 1: If I wake up in the morning and decide I
Speaker 1: just want to take you out because of that, what
Speaker 1: type of legislation can be created to dictate what is
Speaker 1: in a person's heart, to change what is in a
Speaker 1: person's heart. I don't. I don't necessarily think you can.
Speaker 1: And that don't make you feel helpless, I mean it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, but these how you know a lot of
Speaker 1: is these in how a lot of these kids are raised.
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're raised to hate people in a
Speaker 1: particular type of person, and then that hate his spewed
Speaker 1: to their children, which is his spewed to their children
Speaker 1: and to their children. And it's a cycle that I
Speaker 1: don't necessarily see it a stopping. So you can't legislate hate,
Speaker 1: ye to you know, control or you know, protect as
Speaker 1: much as you can from those people that do all
Speaker 1: the hate. But you can't legislate hate. Yeah, our camera
Speaker 1: got nickels like you know, it starts in the home.
Speaker 1: And I agree. I've heard people say, like, you know,
Speaker 1: when you see like the white supremacists in Buffalo, they
Speaker 1: was like, yo, his parents, you know, she'd have to
Speaker 1: deal with with some consequences because he had to learn
Speaker 1: that from somewhere. Right, No, that's not necessarily true, though
Speaker 1: it could be he was online, and it could be
Speaker 1: he was in schooling to the wrong kids and students,
Speaker 1: you know, in school. Yeah, it doesn't necessarily make the parents.
Speaker 1: The parents could be fine, and he could have went
Speaker 1: down his own lane and his own you know, just
Speaker 1: been one of those kids. Yeah, if we're talking about legislation,
Speaker 1: what about all of the senators and all the people
Speaker 1: in positions of power who have a history of king
Speaker 1: racists are saying racist things. They shouldn't even be in office. Right,
Speaker 1: we talk about all that we need to legislate, these legislators,
Speaker 1: we had a president that was halfway racist, you know,
Speaker 1: you know about legislations. You know what a president. It's funny,
Speaker 1: it's halfway racist. You're right, But it's funny that we're
Speaker 1: surprised about racist politicians in twenty twenty two when racist
Speaker 1: politicians or what built this country? When when racist politicians
Speaker 1: or what built then wrote the Institution and the Declaration
Speaker 1: of Independence? Like this country was built by racist for racists. Right, Well,
Speaker 1: this country clearly has to change. And that's especially when
Speaker 1: it comes to legislation too. Guess what, people who are
Speaker 1: in positions of power, there has to be some type
Speaker 1: of rules or some type of standards that you have
Speaker 1: to have. If you're in office and you say or
Speaker 1: you do something racist, then what happens? You get to
Speaker 1: continue to be in office. Yeah, there's people who were
Speaker 1: there at the Capitol that day that aided and those
Speaker 1: things happening, and they're still in office, and they're still there.
Speaker 1: People put racist senators and presidents in office, So how
Speaker 1: do you change that? How do you legislate that when
Speaker 1: the racist people are putting the racist senators, this system Congress,
Speaker 1: and the racist people as president. You're right, this system
Speaker 1: was designed by racists for racist and I truly believe
Speaker 1: that this country was built on evil, and it's gonna
Speaker 1: fall on evil. Hello. Who's this? Hey? This is your phone?
Speaker 1: Sounds a little foggy. Can't get you Claire into the phone. Please, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm can you hear me now? Peace and bless us
Speaker 1: to y'all. John, And I am from Saint Was, Missouri. Um,
Speaker 1: please excuse me because I am at the level of prestivity,
Speaker 1: if that even is easy using the words um. I
Speaker 1: am a gun violet survivor. My daughter was murdered standing
Speaker 1: on the sidewalker and her friend as her son setting
Speaker 1: apar and had to duk down from bullets from my
Speaker 1: AK forty seven. Um. When it comes to gun violence,
Speaker 1: I'm so sick of hearing a president, a vice president,
Speaker 1: the tigressman. I don't care if Democrat, liberal, conservatives, any
Speaker 1: of them. It has hit us at rock bottom speed,
Speaker 1: and all you want to do is give us a
Speaker 1: freaking speech. I said the same thing, a speech I
Speaker 1: worked for organization as Saint Louis, Missouri called the Bridge.
Speaker 1: We have trained over twenty five thousand, including kids, including
Speaker 1: my grandsons, on what to do in case someone is shot,
Speaker 1: but forwards their injuries. We are the only organization grasp
Speaker 1: loomed in the States that does that, does that period,
Speaker 1: no other organizations. But yeah, I want to give money
Speaker 1: to Consuliss people when they come in office for forty
Speaker 1: thousand fend furniture voucher. And we got kids out here
Speaker 1: that are easily able to get to fire arms, and
Speaker 1: you want to give us a damned speech. We thirty
Speaker 1: getting kids killed. We just had a young woman and
Speaker 1: a young man killed or live. That was from Saint Louis,
Speaker 1: missour read but nobody, nobody, it's just, it's just, it's okay,
Speaker 1: it's okay. It got nineteen babies. And this what I
Speaker 1: understand totally how these currents fatle. I'm angry, I'm mad.
Speaker 1: I wish they come from behind these desks, open up
Speaker 1: these programs for these kids. Stop acting like it's nothing.
Speaker 1: This is not no dog on gang, no dogs drug,
Speaker 1: This is not none of that. These kids are hopeless.
Speaker 1: They don't have no love. It starts within the household.
Speaker 1: It's trauma. There's trauma. M Y they wonder if it's trauma.
Speaker 1: It's trauma. Everything is all tricky trauma. I agree with that.
Speaker 1: I definitely agree with you for sharing your story too.
Speaker 1: I appreciate chaw. Like I said, we are the only
Speaker 1: grassroom organization in Saint Louis, Missouri that all her teaching
Speaker 1: me kids how to save somebody's life before an ambulance giter. Absolutely, well,
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question, and I know you
Speaker 1: you guys are grassroots. How can people you know donating
Speaker 1: help so you can continue to mission that you're doing.
Speaker 1: You can go up www dot the brick b RC
Speaker 1: dot org. A black doctor from boors. You was walked
Speaker 1: away from walked away from her personal pronouns. He walked
Speaker 1: away from his job to start this clinic for the
Speaker 1: community and it's free. Thank you, and you said the
Speaker 1: brick dot org. Yes, thank you, Thank you man. We
Speaker 1: appreciate you and sorry for your loss. Again, I appreciate
Speaker 1: y'all and thank y'all for putting this herd. Because if
Speaker 1: we have more platforms where we can call in and
Speaker 1: do this, I think a lot of more people will
Speaker 1: understand our pain as survivors, how we feel, along with
Speaker 1: the community being able to see that idious people like
Speaker 1: us that have to deal and wake up with this
Speaker 1: every day. So I appreciate y'all. God bless y'all. Well,
Speaker 1: we appreciate you. We are covering you in love. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one oh five one. It's the
Speaker 1: breakfast Club, Go morning, the breakfast Club. You know, what
Speaker 1: are we going to do? And I keep breakfascing that
Speaker 1: meme that you know says it starts with a mass shooting,
Speaker 1: and its media extravaganza, the thoughts and prayers, social media,
Speaker 1: gun debates, nobody actually does anything, and then we're back
Speaker 1: to normal. And you know, I'm just simply asking what
Speaker 1: are we going to do? And I think the reason
Speaker 1: that question is so difficult for people, and I think
Speaker 1: the reason so many of us always feel so hopeless
Speaker 1: in situations like this is because we know that we
Speaker 1: truly can't legislate hate right now. Yes, so, yes, we
Speaker 1: should have conversations about gun control, and you know, we
Speaker 1: should have conversations about you know, mental health when it
Speaker 1: comes to things like this. But what about just that
Speaker 1: hate that somebody has in their heart? Yeah, for another individual?
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's usually you know, that usually starts
Speaker 1: in the household. I can't say that happens in every situation,
Speaker 1: but I don't In a lot of situations it does.
Speaker 1: But I always wonder what you know, when you look
Speaker 1: at social media, right, they have all these algorithms. Right,
Speaker 1: so if you promote something on social media, they can
Speaker 1: limit your posts because they want you to pay for ads.
Speaker 1: And I always wondered when you have people looking up
Speaker 1: certain things online, why is that not flag? Like this
Speaker 1: young man, you know, I'm assuming he had to look
Speaker 1: up body a body armor. It's not like you could
Speaker 1: go to your local you know, los or home depot
Speaker 1: and fine body armor. So he had to look it
Speaker 1: up on his computer. You would think that whoever monitors
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff, right, would know like, okay, who
Speaker 1: just bought body armor? And why? Correct? Like he's not military,
Speaker 1: he's a civilian. Why does he have certain things like that?
Speaker 1: Or you know, monitor the of of ammunition that somebody's
Speaker 1: purchasing and buying, you know, And I'm just curious. I
Speaker 1: could be wrong, and I could it could be full
Speaker 1: of a crop full of issh. But when I look
Speaker 1: at social media and I look how you know, Instagram
Speaker 1: has algorithms on certain things that I understand, how we
Speaker 1: don't have it on you should be able to track
Speaker 1: these things. Is absolutely when people buy, you know, figure
Speaker 1: out how to buy, you know, create a bomb or
Speaker 1: make a bomb, like there things that you have to google. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they find out later on his computer. He was
Speaker 1: we found these materials where he looked it up. But
Speaker 1: how can we get and find it before? And listen,
Speaker 1: I want, I want to I agree with everything that
Speaker 1: you just said, and I want I want to talk
Speaker 1: about that, like even the mental health aspect real quick, right,
Speaker 1: Like I totally believe and I know that hurt people
Speaker 1: hurt people, and I know that people are in pain
Speaker 1: and they're projecting that pain on others. So you know,
Speaker 1: I'm always going to focus on therapy and focus on
Speaker 1: investing in your mental wealth. But man, something about these
Speaker 1: last two shootings, the one in Buffalo, you know a
Speaker 1: lot of those elderly black people got killed, and you know,
Speaker 1: watching these kids get you know shot in Texas, watching
Speaker 1: those you know, ages get shot in that church in California.
Speaker 1: Even though I know these people are dealing with me
Speaker 1: mental and emotional pain, I can't dismiss just pure evil
Speaker 1: because it just seems like pre meditated pure evil. These
Speaker 1: people had body armor, they targeted individuals, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like they knew what they were doing. So
Speaker 1: it's hard to just say, you know that person is
Speaker 1: dealing with mental health issues. Bro, you do understand. And
Speaker 1: what the twelve years we've been working here, I've heard
Speaker 1: you say that before. Yeah, and shootings are different. These
Speaker 1: is different. Absolutely, these are different. But we've say that
Speaker 1: all the time, and they all hit different and we
Speaker 1: care so much for the first couple of days and
Speaker 1: then it just starts to just we forget about it
Speaker 1: and then we just go on with our regular lives. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's why even with this one, everybody's talking about the
Speaker 1: kids and the kids. Yes, it's the kids, but bro,
Speaker 1: we've had a crazy past couple of weeks. This year
Speaker 1: has been a bunch of different mass shooting So it's
Speaker 1: not just us living in fear for our kids. We're
Speaker 1: living in fear for each other. Everybody, Hello, who's this
Speaker 1: it's wrong? Talk to us, brother. I don't really think
Speaker 1: you can legislate say because like y'all were saying, this
Speaker 1: starts pretty much you learn that from somewhere like no,
Speaker 1: no child, nobody is born racist nobody. You you learn
Speaker 1: that and you're taught that. But I think, like as
Speaker 1: far as the schools of concern, like I think person
Speaker 1: lest schools should be treated at this point now as
Speaker 1: like the courthouse, like you're not coming in here unless
Speaker 1: you walk through these medical technis and get your bad search.
Speaker 1: Like it should be one way in, like you have
Speaker 1: to come in this way, and it's sad that we
Speaker 1: have to do that, but like I think that you
Speaker 1: should treat schools like like an airport or like the courthouse,
Speaker 1: like you have to come through the medical technis. And
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be for all schools, like all public schools
Speaker 1: for the most part, you should have to go through
Speaker 1: a security state to even coming to building, and it
Speaker 1: should be security at the doors, like you can't get
Speaker 1: in here or let you come past this checkpoint. Know,
Speaker 1: And I think like at least at my kids school,
Speaker 1: I feel slight in the face because you have to
Speaker 1: go through two different barriers to even get like two
Speaker 1: into school, Like you have to check in at the
Speaker 1: front door. And once you check in at the front door,
Speaker 1: you have to sign me and then get buzz in.
Speaker 1: And it's like it's the whole process to even get
Speaker 1: if my kids school so bad. But you know when
Speaker 1: you when you have a gun and and and this
Speaker 1: is the whole thing, and like you said, you got
Speaker 1: kids and I got kids too, So when we drop
Speaker 1: our kids off in the morning, those that doors open
Speaker 1: as those kids come in, and when those kids leave
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, that doors open when them kids come out.
Speaker 1: And there was police there, so it wasn't like there
Speaker 1: was no police there in the dude just walked in
Speaker 1: and the shooting was there. The dude overpowered the police,
Speaker 1: and he overpowered those those locks and all that None
Speaker 1: of that stuff mattered at that time. When that man
Speaker 1: had body on a ar fifteens and and all those
Speaker 1: types of bullets, none of that stuff matter. Think about it.
Speaker 1: There was three police officers there that he got through,
Speaker 1: so that all that stuff, all that thing. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: a preventative measure measure, but if somebody wants to get through,
Speaker 1: they can get through. Like this, like this eighteen year
Speaker 1: old kid, did you absolutely right? You're absolutely right? So
Speaker 1: what do you do? What do you do? And that's
Speaker 1: what we don't know, brother, that's the question we're asking
Speaker 1: this morning. Man. I think, like, if you really think
Speaker 1: about it, like they don't mind selling guns eighteen year
Speaker 1: olds because it generates more revenue. You know, eighteen year
Speaker 1: olds buy guns, and like if you take the money
Speaker 1: part out of it, like you have to legislate it
Speaker 1: like you have to. No eighteen year olds can buy
Speaker 1: a gun. You have to be past. You have to
Speaker 1: go to a mental evaluation before you can buy a gun.
Speaker 1: You have to when you're short to buy a gun,
Speaker 1: you should have to sign certificate from a psychologist saying
Speaker 1: this person is mentally and you know it's so crazy. Man,
Speaker 1: Like you said, you're eighteen year old, they do a
Speaker 1: background check. If nothing is on your on your record,
Speaker 1: your good money, that doesn't mean that you don't have
Speaker 1: any problems. But think about it like this, at eighteen,
Speaker 1: even when you when you drive a car, you at
Speaker 1: least got to take a test. You he's got to
Speaker 1: know the rules and regulations you and least after taking
Speaker 1: an eye test to see if you can actually see.
Speaker 1: You know, eighteen year old, you have a gun. There
Speaker 1: is no test, There is no nobody training you how
Speaker 1: to use the weapon or even talking to you. You
Speaker 1: know what it means to have that weapon. You don't
Speaker 1: have to take an eye test. You just gotta be
Speaker 1: eighteen years old and a clean record. And we all
Speaker 1: know out there that when we were kids, we've done
Speaker 1: things that could have been on our record that maybe
Speaker 1: we got away with it. Maybe somebody decided not to
Speaker 1: press charges. Maybe somebody just said, oh, he'll be all,
Speaker 1: he'll grow out of it. And those are the things
Speaker 1: that we can't do anymore. We can't allow these these kids.
Speaker 1: I can't even say these kids only because and some
Speaker 1: adults out there that don't need weapons as well. Exactly.
Speaker 1: That's why I feel like, when you go by a gun,
Speaker 1: you gotta show up with your mental evaluation cleary to say, hey,
Speaker 1: I say that's a good step, Like when you show
Speaker 1: it thebody you're gun, you have a mental mental evaluation
Speaker 1: certificately saying that this person has passed their mental evaluation
Speaker 1: and they're able to purchase the gun. Well, thank you,
Speaker 1: brother for calling and checking in and giving us your
Speaker 1: feedback and everything. You know, the question was this morning,
Speaker 1: can can how do you legislate hat The moral of
Speaker 1: the story is I don't believe you can. And you know, yes,
Speaker 1: we should be talking about gun control, Yes we should
Speaker 1: be talking about mental health. All of that is true.
Speaker 1: But the root of this is the seed of hatred
Speaker 1: that America planned four hundred plus years ago, and now
Speaker 1: that seed has bad fruit and the Frankenstein monster that
Speaker 1: America created is coming back to the vour America. All right, well,
Speaker 1: let's get to the rumors. Let's go. She's um report
Speaker 1: with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, well today,
Speaker 1: what's all about taking your calls? And now we do
Speaker 1: want to just give you one quick update of what's
Speaker 1: happening tonight. There's an interview that I'll be Aaron tonight.
Speaker 1: Angela Rya is actually speaking with Brittney Grinder's wife, Cherrell,

Speaker 1: on the NBA Countdown at seven thirty pm on ESPN.
Speaker 1: Here is that interview with Angela ry What was the
Speaker 1: last thing she said to you before she left for Russia?
Speaker 1: That's the irony of all love it. You know, she
Speaker 1: didn't want to go back, so she just said she
Speaker 1: was so exhausted from always happening to go overseas. And
Speaker 1: we talked about it and I was like, well you
Speaker 1: know what, babe, like, let's just make this your last
Speaker 1: year over season. I was like, you don't have to
Speaker 1: go back anymore. I was like we'll figure something else out,
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to pay, because obviously there's
Speaker 1: a tremendous difference in the amount of money that she
Speaker 1: makes when she's playing w NBA versus when she goes overseas.
Speaker 1: If it was Lebron or kd or Steph Curry. Do
Speaker 1: you think that you would be sitting here today, Oh,

Speaker 1: through a racially motivated act of violence toward black people
Speaker 1: at the grocery store, are fearing what may happen to

Speaker 1: that I follow. I talk about her books that boundaries
Speaker 1: find Peace all the time. She said, it's hard to
Speaker 1: move past mass shootings when they keep occurring. We are

Speaker 1: frustrated with the laws, sad for the children and parents,
Speaker 1: anxious about being in public spaces, afraid for your loved ones,
Speaker 1: discouraged or confused about the state of the world are
Speaker 1: all normal responses to senseless violence. So okay, did not
Speaker 1: be okay because we are not okay.
