Speaker 1: Good morning angela Ye, good morning, Damdy Scholamine. The guy
Speaker 1: piece to the planet is Tuesday. Yes, it's Tuesday, Election Day,
Speaker 1: the final day for America to vote. That's right. We
Speaker 1: have no idea what the world is gonna look like
Speaker 1: after the day, but whatever happens, you have to know
Speaker 1: it's all God's will. As my late great friend jazz
Speaker 1: Fly used to say, trust God to God. If Republicans win,
Speaker 1: black people got work to do. If Democrats win, black people,
Speaker 1: we still got work to do. That's right. I don't
Speaker 1: think anything changes because the illusion of America has been
Speaker 1: revealed to all this year, and this system was considered
Speaker 1: normal has never worked for all of us. So tonight,
Speaker 1: regardless of who wins, just know it's nothing to celebrate.
Speaker 1: We got work to do, all right. Now, let me
Speaker 1: shout out to everybody in Atlanta. Yesterday I was in
Speaker 1: Atlanta with McDonald's. Of course, HBCU home comings a cancel,
Speaker 1: so McDonald's put together a play where people can then
Speaker 1: still enjoy the HBCU home coming. So we were filming yesterday.
Speaker 1: I actually went to work yesterday, but I was in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: But Atlanta couldn't get the technical stuff working. So I
Speaker 1: was at the station for nothing for about forty five
Speaker 1: minutes to an hour. They couldn't get it working, so
Speaker 1: I just went straight straight to set. So m well,
Speaker 1: then President Obama in Atlanta yesterday and Obama and Biden.
Speaker 1: I think I know Obama was there. I don't know
Speaker 1: about Biden. I don't know about I know I wasn't
Speaker 1: uh in Atlanta yesterday. So Atlanta was crazy. Was it
Speaker 1: was jam packing that flew back late last night? Uh,
Speaker 1: when I was on the plane, I was watching the
Speaker 1: game and I thought that the Giants were gonna win.
Speaker 1: I was like, think there's something the Giants gonna win
Speaker 1: the game. But no, they they they proved me wrong again.
Speaker 1: They didn't They didn't know they weren't gonna win pretty much.
Speaker 1: They actually better than people. Still lost, doesn't matter you
Speaker 1: almost one thing for you. You know, there's no almost
Speaker 1: in football. We're not gonna say that about nobody to night.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden almost one. We almost won a fight. I
Speaker 1: don't know if a win it's going to be declared tonight.
Speaker 1: We don't know that yet. Not as possible. It's possible
Speaker 1: depending on depending where states come in, because I mean,
Speaker 1: you know the states to really watch North Carolina, Iowa,
Speaker 1: and what's the other one, No, Florida, Florida. North Carolina, Iowa,
Speaker 1: and Florida, because those three always come in on election day.
Speaker 1: And you know, if if Joe Biden wins those three,
Speaker 1: it's really no path to victory for Donald Trump. There's
Speaker 1: a county in New Hampton that's already declared that Joe
Speaker 1: Biden is a winner. Yeah. So if North Carolina, North Carolina, Iowa,
Speaker 1: and Florida, if Joe Biden runs the table on all
Speaker 1: three of those, US more than likely be the next
Speaker 1: president of the United States of America. Okay, well, um ya,
Speaker 1: the interview with US yesterday, right, yeah, Teslain figure out
Speaker 1: the host of this great shot, no chase of podcast,
Speaker 1: political pundit, ground organizer, she'd be in these streets. Yes,

Speaker 1: running for South Carolina Senator against Lindsay Lady Buck Graham.
Speaker 1: He'll be checking in with us this morning as well.
Speaker 1: He's on a ballot in South Carolina. So South Carolina.

Speaker 1: yesterday and on my way home, I was looking for
Speaker 1: parking and it took me almost an hour to find
Speaker 1: a parking spot. Fifty minutes it took me. I was
Speaker 1: driving around in circles for fifty minutes. I just want
Speaker 1: to get that off my chest. I don't feel bad
Speaker 1: for you, ye me neither. I mean you you lived
Speaker 1: ten minutes from from the city, you know. I mean
Speaker 1: that that's part of the thing you gotta do. You
Speaker 1: lived ten minutes from the city. So said, if you're bad.
Speaker 1: I wanted to get it off my chest. Take you
Speaker 1: fifty minutes parking? You you had the option. You you
Speaker 1: could look at the break this has ever taken me.
Speaker 1: Be happy that you have a car to parking. That
Speaker 1: is true. You don't even have a car to park.
Speaker 1: That is the problem is I need oil in my car.
Speaker 1: And it was like, if you don't get oil, now
Speaker 1: turn off your car immediately. And I couldn't find parking
Speaker 1: for fifty minutes. I was nervous in my car was
Speaker 1: gonna blow up? Yo. Ye No, nobody changed. You have
Speaker 1: to add oil or you gotta add it. What's the
Speaker 1: lessing you change your oil on your car? I mean
Speaker 1: what you mean change? I mean take it to go
Speaker 1: get God damn, I had to put the oil in myself.
Speaker 1: I don't take it to get done. I can do
Speaker 1: that much. Is the worst car owner ever? He doesn't
Speaker 1: put oil in a car. I don't know she have
Speaker 1: gas in the car. When it comes to speed bumps,
Speaker 1: she speeds up. I don't feel I don't feel sorry.
Speaker 1: You can buy her own burker. If you can buy
Speaker 1: your own burker, put your own oil in your car.
Speaker 1: Keep talking about my car. You get another flat on
Speaker 1: your bike, Envy. You're right, you're right, get it off
Speaker 1: your chest. Eight hundred five five one O five one.
Speaker 1: And we got rumors on the way. Yes, and Adrian Broner,
Speaker 1: I'm sure he has allowed to get off his chest
Speaker 1: today after he got thrown in jail. Damn it. Man,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll get into that next. It's the breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the breakfast Club. She's filling the team. This
Speaker 1: is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well,
Speaker 1: Adrian Broner went to jail. This happened yesterday in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: He was held in contempt of court as part of
Speaker 1: a civil lawsuit a woman that he assaulted at a
Speaker 1: nightclub in twenty eighteen. I had won that judgment against him.
Speaker 1: He was ordered to pay more than eight hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars back in and he was ordered to pay that
Speaker 1: in December, and the judge said there was an Instagram
Speaker 1: video that showed him holding large stacks of money after
Speaker 1: saying that he had over just over thirteen dollars in
Speaker 1: cash back on October fifth in court. So the judge
Speaker 1: has ordered that he has to remain in jail until
Speaker 1: to provide complete that truthful information about his finances to
Speaker 1: the woman's attorney. Now, Adrian Brona was in court, and
Speaker 1: here's what he had to say. Friends I got friends
Speaker 1: were the money because I listen, because listen, and when
Speaker 1: that moment to them, and now that tells you sending
Speaker 1: me money my friends, and I think, God, I've never
Speaker 1: had that peacock geane. My dad instilled that me and
Speaker 1: me early. My dad always told me it's better to
Speaker 1: have money than to look like you have money. He
Speaker 1: actually would point out old white men growing up in
Speaker 1: Mount Corner and how plain they would dress, and he'd
Speaker 1: be like, say he's rich and you would never know.
Speaker 1: And that's always been my mindset. It's way too much
Speaker 1: pressure being like brothers like a b because when you
Speaker 1: fall off boy, everybody though, and you end up looking
Speaker 1: at sounding like that. Well it got even worse. Listen
Speaker 1: to this, I don't sending you da listen, but showing
Speaker 1: that you didn't have any financi damn Yearney, I spend it.
Speaker 1: I send it on this don't about bills song. Right now,
Speaker 1: that's what he didn't aft up right, you know, you
Speaker 1: don't left up right, and just he just oh my goodness,
Speaker 1: I couldn't really hear what he said. I just heard
Speaker 1: him say that he bought Bill. I watched that video
Speaker 1: about one hundred time yesterday. I'm trying to figure out
Speaker 1: why ab looked like saucy Santana, Like he built like
Speaker 1: saucy Santana in that court room, just showing all that shape?
Speaker 1: Are you showing all that shape for that quest? That's
Speaker 1: Santana is falling all right now. Adrian Browner also says
Speaker 1: that he can pay, but he has a fight coming up.
Speaker 1: He got to wait till after that. I got coming
Speaker 1: over first. I don't take you that long usual questions.
Speaker 1: That's your relevance feet. You know what, I'm not here
Speaker 1: to listen. He has to say, I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: the money here and there and disregard every court order
Speaker 1: in the UTU. This is a problem with Ruder because
Speaker 1: you would ignore basically every order I've given here and now.
Speaker 1: There isn't punishment. I giving you extensions like you give
Speaker 1: you time. I trust you're gonna get the stone well
Speaker 1: before you're cheating herd fire. Look see this is the thing.
Speaker 1: I don't like that, though, and I'm gonna tell you why.
Speaker 1: Even though he was. He was, he was flaussed and
Speaker 1: he was capping online. That's all he had to say.
Speaker 1: It's not my money. Look, I was just I was fronting,
Speaker 1: but I have a fight. He can't make money unless
Speaker 1: he fights. That's the whole thing. Like he's not he
Speaker 1: doesn't have a nine to five. It's nine to five
Speaker 1: is boxing. First of all, stop making excuses. That situation
Speaker 1: is sad. Okay, it's absolutely no reason for a b
Speaker 1: to be in that position other than m he just
Speaker 1: doesn't understand financial literacy, but he is. He can't can't
Speaker 1: bring it back. It's not like you'd be like I
Speaker 1: made a mistake. I can. If you can't flash the
Speaker 1: money on Instagram and you wantn't his money money and
Speaker 1: you're saying you don't have it, stop fronting it. If
Speaker 1: you can borrow money to that and if you know
Speaker 1: and you should have worked out a payment plan whatever
Speaker 1: it is that you have to do, but you just
Speaker 1: can't flash it on Instagram, whether or not it's his.
Speaker 1: It's just not a smart thing to do. Like, why
Speaker 1: would you put yourself in harm's way like that, because
Speaker 1: not only do you have legal issues you gotta deal with,
Speaker 1: Like we see him in the court. You got wolves
Speaker 1: out here that are trying to take your head off
Speaker 1: or something that's not even yours. Come on and be
Speaker 1: keeping rail if you want to judgment against someone. And
Speaker 1: then they said they don't have the money, but then
Speaker 1: they're flashing all this money on Instagram, you would be like, Okay,
Speaker 1: they have it, and whether or not God this of
Speaker 1: what is for who gave it to him? You just
Speaker 1: can't be on the Graham doing that. That probably wasn't
Speaker 1: his money. He was probably fronted to get some lights
Speaker 1: like you see people do that all the time, but
Speaker 1: not when you have a judgment against you and you
Speaker 1: just said in court two weeks ago or whatever that
Speaker 1: you don't have it. Listen, envy a sensitive ath let
Speaker 1: him let that man owe him some money and he
Speaker 1: see him on the Graham like that. Over nine Mary Jay,
Speaker 1: what's the fall one one? You're gonna be calling everyone
Speaker 1: one you know trying to get your money. Please. I
Speaker 1: hope Adrian Brona does get it together. But that just
Speaker 1: wasn't a smart thing to do. All right now, Freeway,
Speaker 1: thank Joe Biden after Joe Biden consultant following his son's death.
Speaker 1: This was all at Joe Biden's rally and Philly and
Speaker 1: even though Freeways Oh the Sun passed away last week,

Speaker 1: have the brother Ed Gordon check it in. We got
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about today. Of course today is
Speaker 1: the election day, so we'll talk to Ed Gordon when
Speaker 1: we come back. Don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same.
Speaker 1: When a training a vehicle at a railway crossing, the
Speaker 1: results are often deadly. Be cautious at crossings, and if
Speaker 1: the signals are going, don't be tempted to try and
Speaker 1: sneak across the tracks. Even if you don't see your
Speaker 1: train stop. Trains can't brought to you by NITZA morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. Usually we do front page news
Speaker 1: right now, but we got the brother Ed Gordon on
Speaker 1: the line. Good morning, sir, Good morning, Good morning Ed.
Speaker 1: How are you my brother? I'm good man, how are
Speaker 1: you feeling? I'm blessed black and holly favored. I know
Speaker 1: you've seen a feudis in your lifetime, man, None quite
Speaker 1: like this though. So so what you think the world
Speaker 1: gonna look like after the day? Man? You know? I
Speaker 1: I pray that the world looks like that. We will
Speaker 1: pull that moving van up to the White House and
Speaker 1: get this idiot out of the oval. As I like
Speaker 1: to say, you know, throughout my career, I have never
Speaker 1: come out against publicly any president who sat in office,
Speaker 1: even those that I disagreed with vehementley on a policy side.
Speaker 1: But this man is dangerous. We've been saying it now
Speaker 1: for four years. Dangerous, incompetent. He has appointed all of
Speaker 1: these federal judges, all the things that we've said that
Speaker 1: will affect us long before he leaves, whether he leaves
Speaker 1: in January of twenty twenty one or whether he leaves
Speaker 1: in another four years. He has impacted our lives negatively
Speaker 1: for a long, long time. Man, So we got to
Speaker 1: get out there. I posted a article on bt dot
Speaker 1: com yesterday, and I'm still amazed that the black folks
Speaker 1: who sometimes say just pushing people to vote is putting
Speaker 1: too much on our community. Why is everybody you know
Speaker 1: blaming us for the vote. Why is everybody suggesting that
Speaker 1: it's up to us. It is up to us. You know,
Speaker 1: this is one of the few times that we really
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to have a push in a sway
Speaker 1: and how our lives are affected in this nation. And
Speaker 1: so anybody who was in these swing states, who is
Speaker 1: registered and has yet to vote needs to get out online.
Speaker 1: You know, when we lost CT Vivian and John Lewis,
Speaker 1: we all talked about their legacy and what we were
Speaker 1: going to do. Well, no better way to salute those
Speaker 1: men than to vote today. And we're talking about the
Speaker 1: states like Michigan, George of Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio
Speaker 1: of the means, when we really need Florida black people
Speaker 1: to get out there in Pennsylvania, Kelly, Philly's got to
Speaker 1: turn out, Pittsburgh turnout. We gotta do this now. Also,
Speaker 1: you're hosting a special or NAACP to host a two
Speaker 1: day special talking about the black voter experience. And we
Speaker 1: were telling people they gotta be careful go with each
Speaker 1: other because they're gonna be trying to intimidate us like crazy.
Speaker 1: Talk about that a little bit. That's right. I've been
Speaker 1: doing these and Charlemagne was part of one of them.
Speaker 1: These town hall meetings throughout the pandemic for the NAACP,
Speaker 1: and so we wanted to do something on election night.
Speaker 1: You know, CNN we'll have great coverage, MS will have
Speaker 1: great coverage. But we also wanted to give us an
Speaker 1: opportunity to give what we says. What we say is unfettered, um,
Speaker 1: you know, black perspective. And so from seven to midnight,
Speaker 1: and we may go a little longer, I'll be on
Speaker 1: anchoring with Derek Johnson. He'll be coming in and out.
Speaker 1: CEO of the NDAAC people. We got people like Michael,
Speaker 1: Eric Dyson, and Jamal Hill, d L. Hughley will be
Speaker 1: on with us. You know, the list goes on and on,
Speaker 1: and we'll be talking about you know, where we sit
Speaker 1: throughout the evening. We'll have elected official. We'll also be
Speaker 1: taking phone calls. You know, we want to hear from people.
Speaker 1: If voter intimidation is going on, we need to hear it.
Speaker 1: DACP is going to dispatch people to these polls. So
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna do as much as we can
Speaker 1: to be protective of, you know, our ability to get
Speaker 1: out there because it's go time. It's time. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm with you on getting this fascist out the White House, right,
Speaker 1: But I don't think that. I don't think what the
Speaker 1: Democrats are doing is a sustainable model because when you
Speaker 1: think about the base of the Democratic Party, black women,
Speaker 1: black men, them stand deludes us because every presidential election
Speaker 1: is the same thing. Short up for Democrats, you know,
Speaker 1: But when they're gonna show up for us is a question.
Speaker 1: So many black people keep asking. Right, two things that
Speaker 1: I will agree with you one thousand percent. One of
Speaker 1: the problems is Democrats have been outplayed politically for years
Speaker 1: and years and years. You know, when you have numbers
Speaker 1: every time you go into an election, but somehow you
Speaker 1: can't turn those numbers out to defeat your opponents. Something's wrong.
Speaker 1: The other thing is it's an incumbent upon us to
Speaker 1: make sure that we start playing the game past election day.
Speaker 1: You know, too many of us state election day is
Speaker 1: your last day. You did your duty and now you
Speaker 1: walk away and you wait for things to happen. Election
Speaker 1: day should be day one for you, particularly if your
Speaker 1: candidate gets in office, because the own the reason that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden won the nomination is because of black folks
Speaker 1: in South Carolina. No if fans of Butts had he
Speaker 1: lost that it's over, he's done, you know. So what
Speaker 1: we've got to do is make sure that we play
Speaker 1: the game beyond tonight, particularly if Biden wins. And so
Speaker 1: I agree with you one thousand percent, though, Democrats are
Speaker 1: going to have to find a new model and a
Speaker 1: new way of doing things. And we can no longer
Speaker 1: the accepting of you know, the cliche of them showing
Speaker 1: up at a black church every four years, you know,
Speaker 1: giving us hugs and you know, putting a couple of
Speaker 1: dollars in the plate and we're happy. And to the
Speaker 1: CBC and black leaders, I say, it's not enough for
Speaker 1: you to be just invited to the Christmas party at
Speaker 1: the White House and you know, take pictures in the
Speaker 1: Rose Garden and you're cool with that. You know, we've
Speaker 1: been struggling as community for far too long, for far
Speaker 1: too long. It's unacceptable for us to take any leader black, white,
Speaker 1: or otherwise, you know, take us for granted anymore. But
Speaker 1: we're talking to Ed Gordon and you mentioned the first
Speaker 1: day it should be when the president starts. So if
Speaker 1: Biden wins, what would you want for him for Black
Speaker 1: Americans for the first let's say, the first year of
Speaker 1: first hundred days. I mean, you know, and I never
Speaker 1: I never look at that. That's that artificial number media
Speaker 1: made up. We'd like to look at the first hundred days.
Speaker 1: You look at most people's first hundred days. They don't
Speaker 1: do a damn thing in those first hundred days. What
Speaker 1: I would like, though, is I'm again placing it more
Speaker 1: on our leadership to have asks, you know, what are
Speaker 1: we walking in in those first hundred days and say,
Speaker 1: you know, this is what we want, this is what
Speaker 1: we want for our vote. Um. And you know, part
Speaker 1: of the issue with any group is who goes in
Speaker 1: and makes that ask. You know, back in the day,
Speaker 1: and we were never in lockstep. It was never one leader.
Speaker 1: It was never that we all followed King, never that
Speaker 1: we all followed Malcolm or Marcus or anyone. But there
Speaker 1: were there were groups that had more of a sway
Speaker 1: and it was a more a singular thing out of
Speaker 1: where where we're going. We got desperate asked, now, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, these these leaders are going to have to
Speaker 1: determine to a great degree amongst themselves. Um. And part
Speaker 1: of that it's just you know, political and who's networked
Speaker 1: and who's closer. But what are you going in and
Speaker 1: ask for uh, you know, and I think that we
Speaker 1: have to look at for me. Police reform, real police
Speaker 1: reform with teeth is something that impacts all of us.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sixty years old. Man. If I throw
Speaker 1: this hoodie up and I ride in a car, I
Speaker 1: could be pulled over, shot and killed by police because
Speaker 1: you look thirty. Well, I don't know if I look
Speaker 1: at thirty, bro, I appreciate it. But but the idea
Speaker 1: that you know, we used to say, oh, young black
Speaker 1: men are in danger. We're all in danger man. Right.
Speaker 1: You got a look the little bit of melon and
Speaker 1: I got rolling. I'm in danger, right. So we have
Speaker 1: to make sure that we do not take this any longer.
Speaker 1: You know, we've been silent and docile too long, and
Speaker 1: it's time for us to keep this up. You know.
Speaker 1: I just did an interview with Felonious Floyd, George Floyd's brother,
Speaker 1: and he got emotionally said, mister Gordon, you know I'm struggling.
Speaker 1: I'm struggling, and we as a community continue to struggle,
Speaker 1: and we've got to back one another up, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean literally stand back to back and keep each
Speaker 1: other's back, and we can no longer, you know, be
Speaker 1: sideline and sidetracked by the foolishness. We've been sideline and
Speaker 1: sidetrack for too long. Yeah, for all of us who
Speaker 1: got platforms voices, it's up to us to connect with
Speaker 1: folks who are already doing the work and help them
Speaker 1: push those demands they're making, you know, whether it's on
Speaker 1: a local level, national level, whatever. Yeah, we talked to
Speaker 1: Amanda Seals. It'll be on tonight during our coverage and
Speaker 1: you can find that coverage on the end up ACP
Speaker 1: social platforms, on my Facebook page, Bounces carrying it on
Speaker 1: their digital channels. It'll be all over and you go
Speaker 1: to my Instagram and ed L Gordon and get the information.
Speaker 1: But Amanda said the exact same thing. She said, Look,
Speaker 1: I've got a platform now. She said it in the
Speaker 1: in the interview that she's a learned woman from Colombia,
Speaker 1: has studied policy and the like. She said, But my
Speaker 1: but she said, you know, I'm not an organizer, I'm
Speaker 1: not a politician. I'm not but I have a platform.
Speaker 1: And he's absolutely right, man. You know, those of us
Speaker 1: who have you know, been blessed with a platform need
Speaker 1: to utilize it with the right people. You know, and
Speaker 1: and look, you know, rappers have every bit, actors have
Speaker 1: every bit, singers have every bit, the right to have
Speaker 1: a voice, but that does not mean you follow them.
Speaker 1: For you know, uh, you know your your political insight,
Speaker 1: quote unquote. You can if you choose, but you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. God bless them all,
Speaker 1: but I don't want to put our future in their hands.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. All right, Well, we appreciate you
Speaker 1: for checking in, brother, Thank you so much. Shank you
Speaker 1: King hey Man always love y'all. All right, that was
Speaker 1: and Gordon, that was front page news that when we
Speaker 1: come back, Teslin Fagara will be joined. I think Teslain
Speaker 1: Figure will be joining us. Your name back, you can
Speaker 1: buy on Canal Street just now, Teslin Figure will be
Speaker 1: joining us. Is the Breakfast Club? Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the world most dangerous morning Shure the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Charlomagne and God Angela. Ye, we got a special guest
Speaker 1: on the Zoom right now. She is the host of
Speaker 1: the Straight Shot No Chase of podcast on The Black Effect.
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio podcast network. Teslin figure Out, Good morning family, Glad
Speaker 1: to be back. How are you feeling? I'm feeling really good,
Speaker 1: really really good. How are you, guys? I'm blessed Black
Speaker 1: and Holly favorite. Leaning into the uncertainty of the week.
Speaker 1: We don't know what the world gonna look like after
Speaker 1: after this election. We're nervous, are you really? You know what?
Speaker 1: One of the one thing that we know for sure
Speaker 1: is the day after the election doesn't change for us,
Speaker 1: you know, those of us who have been pushing on,
Speaker 1: pushing on the ground, pushing for a black agenda, pushing
Speaker 1: for the importance of a black vote. We also know
Speaker 1: that everybody going to work for sure, you know. I
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of you know, hysteria about what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Well, a lot of y'all gonna be clocking
Speaker 1: in just like you clock in every other day. You're
Speaker 1: gonna pay your bills just like you do every other week,
Speaker 1: you know. So I think it's really important that people
Speaker 1: kind of take a pause and just kind of sit
Speaker 1: back and reflect. You know, there's so much going on
Speaker 1: in two twenty. I lost a grandmother, great grandmother on
Speaker 1: last Friday. And when I think about and reflect, you
Speaker 1: know how time is not promised to anybody, And I'm
Speaker 1: really just over the hysterias, Charlemagne, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I'm ready to get it over with, probably not for
Speaker 1: the reasons that would be ideal, but really just so
Speaker 1: everybody can calm down. My grandmother's eighty nine, and I
Speaker 1: can't be on the phone with her five or ten
Speaker 1: minutes without a talking about Trump. My aunt is sixty five.
Speaker 1: I can't be on the phone with her five or
Speaker 1: two minutes without here talking about Trump. So people are
Speaker 1: just at such a high level of anxiety that I'm
Speaker 1: just ready for it to be over with so that
Speaker 1: we can kind of reassess and move forward. I feel
Speaker 1: you're on that tasing because my parents came over this
Speaker 1: weekend and Isaac, can y'all not talk about that for
Speaker 1: like five minutes? My dad non stop text messages, like
Speaker 1: family group text messages. It's all like articles and posts
Speaker 1: about Donald Trump. And it's kind of like, well, it's
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, And it depends on who you
Speaker 1: talked to, what news you watch, what news doatlet you
Speaker 1: watch you here a different things. Yeah, it's a lot.
Speaker 1: I always wanted everybody to be up up, you know
Speaker 1: when we say stay woke. But I'm kind of ready
Speaker 1: for some people to come back to sleep for real.
Speaker 1: You know. Now I wanted everybody involved, but I kind
Speaker 1: of changed my mind. Some people need to go back
Speaker 1: to sleep. Yeah, some of these people so woke that
Speaker 1: they tired. They need some sleep. So they're not even
Speaker 1: thinking straight no more, they're not even talking straight no more. Right,
Speaker 1: what are your predictions for the election time? You know,
Speaker 1: I keep saying it belonged to the streets. You know,
Speaker 1: I think none of us, none of us can really
Speaker 1: predict anything because we did that and well I didn't,
Speaker 1: but a lot of folks did that in twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: and we saw the predictions are wrong. What I've been
Speaker 1: focusing on, Charlemagne, is actually looking at the data, early
Speaker 1: voting data. You know. So when we look at early
Speaker 1: voting data, Democrats are coming ahead. You know, there's a
Speaker 1: conversation saying that Pennsylvania, the black vote needs to get out,
Speaker 1: needs to do more hashtag. We will not be blaming
Speaker 1: black men, and we certainly won't be blaming black voters.
Speaker 1: But when I look at the actual data Democrats they
Speaker 1: putting in work, you know, I believe the last time
Speaker 1: I looked at us, over between fifty and sixty percent
Speaker 1: of those in Pennsylvania with only a little bit over
Speaker 1: twenty percent of Republicans. Does that mean a flood won't
Speaker 1: come in between you know, today and tomorrow. Does it
Speaker 1: mean that people won't show up on election day? Of
Speaker 1: course there's still that possibility. But based on the data,
Speaker 1: Democrats are coming ahead. But we can't just assume that
Speaker 1: everybody's a Democrat and votes Democrat. What if some of
Speaker 1: these Democrats on board with Trump. What if the twenty
Speaker 1: percent of the Republicans you see turning in a ballots
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania, what if they riding with Biden. So we
Speaker 1: can't take things for granted. And that's what the biggest
Speaker 1: lesson of twenty twenty is, which we still didn't learn
Speaker 1: in two thousand and sixteen, is that no vote can
Speaker 1: be taken for granted at anytime. So I'm just not
Speaker 1: predicting anything except I know on the fourth, the day after,
Speaker 1: I'm getting back to work doing the things that I've
Speaker 1: been doing for the last twenty years. Now sad people,
Speaker 1: I think by the fourth will already know the outcome.
Speaker 1: But of course they're still going to be ballots that
Speaker 1: have to be counted, right, So can you break that
Speaker 1: down like when will we know who won the election? Sure,
Speaker 1: you remember in Iowa during the Democrat primary when there
Speaker 1: was a big mix up about who won the election.
Speaker 1: We still don't know. It's amazing that nobody brings it
Speaker 1: up like that just totally just went away. So I
Speaker 1: can't tell you because looking at Iowa again, big issue
Speaker 1: during the Democrat primary, we never really found out who wins.
Speaker 1: There was also suspicion about New Hampshire, what mayor Pete
Speaker 1: and Bernie Sanderson who won that? So I really don't know.
Speaker 1: It is so much of a it's gonna depend where
Speaker 1: it is, how much influence that vote has, what they
Speaker 1: can contest in the courts, how fast the courts get
Speaker 1: through that. If we ever get an answer, if it
Speaker 1: is decidedly won by either Trump or Biden, we can
Speaker 1: kind of go on with our lives and let them
Speaker 1: flush all of that out. It's really gonna come down
Speaker 1: to how close it is and where that state, you know,
Speaker 1: where it actually happened, on how we're going to be
Speaker 1: able to move. So I'm hoping for a decidedly win,
Speaker 1: you know, a straight up landslide, no question about it,
Speaker 1: This is the winner, so that we can kind of
Speaker 1: move on. But I think we all agree that don't
Speaker 1: matter what the result is, if it's not in Trump's favor,
Speaker 1: he will be contesting. And I think we all know
Speaker 1: that for sure. We don't know nothing else. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: regardless of the outcome. And you've you've mentioned this a
Speaker 1: couple of times, like what should black people be doing
Speaker 1: after this election? Because that's what I think people don't understand.
Speaker 1: Regards of who wins, black people still going to be
Speaker 1: in a certain condition in this country. What should we
Speaker 1: be doing after this election? That's absolutely correct talking speaking
Speaker 1: from our brother, good brother killer Mike about planning, plot
Speaker 1: and strategizing, organizing. Also, our Black Party, which is a
Speaker 1: group you know that a lot of us has tapped
Speaker 1: into to support. That is an organization that is a
Speaker 1: pack of nonpartisan organization that is focused on a black agenda.
Speaker 1: Ballot down candidates really important with putting black folks in office,
Speaker 1: but not just black because you're black, but those who
Speaker 1: are actually supporting the agenda. That's a good organization. I
Speaker 1: think people really need to connect to something. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like after the election that high goals down and
Speaker 1: we never really capitalize on it. After two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight and twenty twelve, people just celebrated, they drank the
Speaker 1: champagne and then it went flat. And so when you
Speaker 1: look at Florida, which is my political stomping ground, just
Speaker 1: using that as an example, when those folks you know,
Speaker 1: just kind of when flat and started celebrating, it is
Speaker 1: why Andrew Gilliam wasn't able to still win like that matters.
Speaker 1: He came close, but it would have been so much
Speaker 1: closer if a Democrat Party had invested in candidates, you know,
Speaker 1: in the Democrat Party, if they invested in operations on
Speaker 1: the ground. The hard truth of the matter is Florida
Speaker 1: is now an issue because you don't spend money with
Speaker 1: black media, you do not spend money on black consultants.
Speaker 1: You do not, you know, invest in the hood person,
Speaker 1: you know, to get actual organizers on the ground, Be
Speaker 1: quite honest with you. Mike Bloomberg doing the Democrat primary
Speaker 1: was one of the few that actually invested that was
Speaker 1: giving people money in their pockets on the street to
Speaker 1: go out and push his campaign. But obviously he didn't
Speaker 1: make it through the Democrat primary. So those types of
Speaker 1: things have to happen year over year over year in
Speaker 1: order for it to push up to the top. And
Speaker 1: so I'm hoping that you just latch onto something. You
Speaker 1: don't have to agree with my position, you don't have
Speaker 1: to agree with our Black Party or what Killer Mike
Speaker 1: says or whoever's out there, but it latch onto something
Speaker 1: because if not, then you lose that a journaline and
Speaker 1: we have to start all the way over in another
Speaker 1: four years, all the way from the start. So one
Speaker 1: thing Trump has done is woke a lot of folks up.
Speaker 1: For sure, it may have been a splash of cold water,
Speaker 1: you know, the way you don't want to wake up.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a general wake up, wake up, but it
Speaker 1: was a splash of cold water. And so I'm hoping
Speaker 1: that people really get involved the day after all, we
Speaker 1: have more with Teslain, figure out when we come back,
Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is st. V Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Tesla and
Speaker 1: Figaro yee. How do you explain these hip hop artists
Speaker 1: like a Little Wind or a Waka Flocka who are
Speaker 1: coming forward and put in their support behind Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: I've been talking about hip hop and politics for the
Speaker 1: last decade plus, and I was told by elected officials
Speaker 1: that it was a waste of time that nobody pays
Speaker 1: attention to that demographic, nobody listens to hip hop artists
Speaker 1: and so forth. I ran for office for about three
Speaker 1: months and immediately got off the ballot. But when I
Speaker 1: was on office, when I ran for office with three months,
Speaker 1: I involved hip hop in my campaign, from music to
Speaker 1: outreach to really going towards that demographic that is not
Speaker 1: quote unquote the supervoter. I have always said that if
Speaker 1: you ignore certain demographic for too long, they're gonna show out.
Speaker 1: Let's just look at any relationship. You don't take care
Speaker 1: of your woman, you never take her out, you never
Speaker 1: spend money on her, your sexist trash. Well, eventually, at
Speaker 1: some point, what is she going to do? Either leave
Speaker 1: you or she's gonna step out. That is the reality
Speaker 1: of all relationships. So when you look at a demographic
Speaker 1: that has been ignored year over year over year over
Speaker 1: year over year, and some of these rappers, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna keep it all the way, really straight shot, with
Speaker 1: no chaser. These candidates have said they were going to
Speaker 1: call them and make a connection and they didn't. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna throw out folks names because it's their
Speaker 1: business to tell. But when you do that, people start
Speaker 1: a feeling some type of way. You can't just keep
Speaker 1: ignoring a certain demographic and say, oh, well, anybody listening
Speaker 1: a little Wayne, anybody listening to an Ice que Well,
Speaker 1: why is it that they've been trending for days? Somebody
Speaker 1: listening to somebody? You can't ignore somebody that has a
Speaker 1: reach to touch millions of people and to make people
Speaker 1: react like that. What Al Sharpton is saying that this
Speaker 1: is no disrespect. I'm just keeping it like, keeping it real,
Speaker 1: Al Sharpton, what he's saying, it's not trending. What a
Speaker 1: lot of these commentators are saying, are not trending. What
Speaker 1: Jesse Jackson said, it's not trending. With the NAACP president said,
Speaker 1: it's not trending. So why is it that que and
Speaker 1: and fifty cent? Why were they able to make a
Speaker 1: trend that says something about they get a reaction from
Speaker 1: influence and so when you ignore that demographic, it's not
Speaker 1: about Wayne and fifty cent. And I know people gonna say, oh,
Speaker 1: Wayne just doing it for himself Okay, maybe, so put
Speaker 1: your thinking cap on. This is outside of Wayne and
Speaker 1: fifty cents. I'm talking about a certain sector of people
Speaker 1: that have been looked down upon by operatives. And I
Speaker 1: know this based on what I know, not what I heard.
Speaker 1: And so now you have these guys coming out saying,
Speaker 1: you know what, we do have influence, we do have
Speaker 1: a voice, we do have something to say, even if
Speaker 1: it's just trolling, because I believe fifty cent was just
Speaker 1: straight up trolling, but it says a lot about you
Speaker 1: have to bring these brothers under the foe. You can't
Speaker 1: keep ignoring them over and over and just dismiss them as, oh, well,
Speaker 1: they don't know what they're talking about any way, Nobody
Speaker 1: listening to them, Wayne, abody to listening to your ass either,
Speaker 1: because if that was the case, we wouldn't keep asking
Speaker 1: people to vote year over year over year. Why is
Speaker 1: it that we are still begging people to vote like
Speaker 1: we have for the last sixty seventy plus years. At
Speaker 1: some point, you're the common denominator man. At some point,
Speaker 1: as you it can't keep being a voter. We got
Speaker 1: to look at you. So I don't necessarily agree with
Speaker 1: the timing, you know, of all the what they what
Speaker 1: they did, But I think it was necessary for us
Speaker 1: to have that conversation to talk about how do we
Speaker 1: move forward? Because que Bob asily ain't sitting down, He's
Speaker 1: not backing down for nobody. But what I will say
Speaker 1: this in Q's defense, he'd been talking about a the
Speaker 1: police and has been speaking for our community for thirty
Speaker 1: plus years when those were standing back and standing by,
Speaker 1: the least you could have did was allowed Q to
Speaker 1: affirm his position and not just goal based on what
Speaker 1: one tweet said and completely try to cancel that brother
Speaker 1: as if he hasn't done anything for our community, as
Speaker 1: if he hasn't spoke up for our community at all.
Speaker 1: So for that alone, I believe Q should at least
Speaker 1: have an opportunity's playing his position and if you don't
Speaker 1: agree with his position, keep you don't keep it moving.
Speaker 1: I'm also had to say this about a Little Wayne,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if he'll say this. He already
Speaker 1: said he didn't mind saying it publicly because the family,
Speaker 1: you know, Jacob Blake's family talked about how Little Wayne
Speaker 1: called Jacob Blake, talked about how they gifted how Little
Speaker 1: Wayne gifted him. You know, with something that he really
Speaker 1: really needed. This is the kind of stuff that goes
Speaker 1: on behind the scenes that people are not aware about it.
Speaker 1: And I will say this, a lot of these politicians
Speaker 1: haven't done a damn thing for these victims. They quick
Speaker 1: to put the pictures out there, they quick to say
Speaker 1: what they gonna do, but when it comes down to
Speaker 1: those receipts, you just can't ignore these brothers and what
Speaker 1: they have tried to do. And again, this is not
Speaker 1: an endorsement a little Wayne fifty cent or ice cube.
Speaker 1: So keep y'all ass out the comments. I'm speaking on
Speaker 1: the you know, the totality of it all and what
Speaker 1: they represent. Do you think that sam hip hop artists
Speaker 1: might have like that are supporting Biden and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: Do you think that perhaps like they don't get as
Speaker 1: much attention because the contraions probably do. Like the people
Speaker 1: that are hip hop artists that are endorsing Trump, we
Speaker 1: get outraged about that, but the people who are supporting
Speaker 1: Biden Harris just we just felt like, Okay, that's what
Speaker 1: it is. Because there aren't artists who are doing that
Speaker 1: and are public about it, but we're not really acknowledging
Speaker 1: that so much. Well, because it's the norm you know,
Speaker 1: it's normally the Democrat. They always has the entertainment's line up.
Speaker 1: What I say is this is when I hear people say, oh,
Speaker 1: they're paying fifty sent, they're paying little Wayne, Well why
Speaker 1: ain't nobody ever asks if they're paying those other artists?
Speaker 1: They're not getting paid? And I say that, Angela, I
Speaker 1: don't want to be clear. I'm not saying they get paid,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying that when we have that conversation,
Speaker 1: let's have it on both sides. When you have conversations
Speaker 1: about somebody getting paid, that's broke it type, that's broke
Speaker 1: the conversation. To me, I will tell you me, as
Speaker 1: a single mom, have been offered opportunities and I don't
Speaker 1: have Wayne's money and fifty cents money and none of
Speaker 1: their influence, and I didn't take those opportunities. So, yes,
Speaker 1: opportunities are presented to you. But believe it or not,
Speaker 1: some people actually stand on their principles instead of posing
Speaker 1: on a fifty cent got paid. Focus on some of
Speaker 1: these donors who are donating to these campaigns because they're
Speaker 1: the ones that are getting paid and actually owe somebody
Speaker 1: for that money. So they don't get the attention I
Speaker 1: guess because it's just the dorm. But a lot of
Speaker 1: them do, and a lot of them get influence behind
Speaker 1: the jay Z got plenty of attention when he supported
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton and Obama and all of that. He put
Speaker 1: it in his rap songs. He was able to take
Speaker 1: it to another level of influence from from a businessman standpoint.
Speaker 1: But where is Jay Z right now? I mean, is
Speaker 1: anybody asking that? Those are questions that you know, people
Speaker 1: I would like to know why is he not out,
Speaker 1: you know, supporting Joe Biden. But I think it really
Speaker 1: comes down to it's not even about a hip hop
Speaker 1: artist or even a commentator to things. They know every
Speaker 1: damn thing. People have to make their own mind up.
Speaker 1: That's why I keep saying it belongs to the streets.
Speaker 1: Y'all gonna do what y'all want to do at this point,
Speaker 1: you know, we just have to move forward on how
Speaker 1: we're gonna you know, get this thing, tighten this up.
Speaker 1: After the election. Yeah, I'm all for black people thinking
Speaker 1: freely about their politics, even if I don't agree with
Speaker 1: their politics, because I just feel like we've been we've
Speaker 1: been too predictable for too long, So I like to
Speaker 1: shake up, you know what I mean. I think that's
Speaker 1: gonna benefit us in the long run. And you know,
Speaker 1: to the whole cube thing, we never give black people
Speaker 1: the same grace we give white folks. They'll cancel Light's
Speaker 1: cube in two seconds. But tell you, how dare you
Speaker 1: speak on Joe Biden's record? Why why do you think
Speaker 1: people think you can't critique Joe Biden and still support
Speaker 1: that that ticket. I think we have just got to
Speaker 1: a point where logic has went out the window. It
Speaker 1: is all about tribalism. You know. I talk a lot
Speaker 1: about bloods and cribs, and I know a lot of
Speaker 1: people are in different regions don't understand that. And it
Speaker 1: really reminds me of that tribal you know. I feel
Speaker 1: like on Instagram people are coming up to me saying,
Speaker 1: break yourself. We'll set you claim. You know. It's it's
Speaker 1: like there's a mindset that nothing can be questioned. You know,
Speaker 1: if both things can be true, I can still support
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and still critique the crime bill.
Speaker 1: We are just in a place where all thought is
Speaker 1: out the window, all logic is out the window. But
Speaker 1: We've just gotten to a place of just ridiculousness. Just
Speaker 1: to be quite honest with you, that's why I'm so
Speaker 1: ready to get that over with so we can really have,
Speaker 1: you know, full conversations. And it's it's it's a mental thing,
Speaker 1: Charlotte Mane. For real, a lot of people just really
Speaker 1: want to put their head in the sand and get
Speaker 1: this over with because they don't want to have to
Speaker 1: deal with the real problem, the real route. We can
Speaker 1: still be unified and have our own armies that are
Speaker 1: pushing different agendas, and whoever pushes the agenda first and
Speaker 1: gets their first is the winner. As long as it
Speaker 1: is collectively for black people. I don't care what side
Speaker 1: that you're wrong. As long as it's about collectively pushing
Speaker 1: the line for black people, we all win. Let's stop
Speaker 1: arguing about we all need to be on the same page.
Speaker 1: I think that's just a waste of time that we'll
Speaker 1: keeping lock. We got more with Teslain Figaro when we
Speaker 1: come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy we
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Teslain
Speaker 1: Figuro yee. One thing we see with Donald Trump right
Speaker 1: now though, and I will say this, what makes him
Speaker 1: even more dangerous though, is that he can't accept any
Speaker 1: criticism or anybody telling him, hey, you know that's wrong.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have done that like that. And even what
Speaker 1: we just saw recently with the Trump trains and how
Speaker 1: they surrounded the campaign bus for Biden and Harris and
Speaker 1: tried to run them off the road, and he encourages
Speaker 1: that type of behavior. So what do you think it's
Speaker 1: gonna happen? Because people are looking at this like after
Speaker 1: election date, there's gonna be all kinds of riots and violence.
Speaker 1: Do you think that is potentially a strong possibility that
Speaker 1: that will happen? Sure, I mean anything is a possibility.
Speaker 1: I don't think that, to be honest with you. We
Speaker 1: had a show on my show talking about that. I
Speaker 1: don't think if it's riots, I think it will be
Speaker 1: coming from the right. To be honest with you, I
Speaker 1: think it will be something to make it appear as
Speaker 1: if the left is doing it. Because I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: honest with you, most people ain't just about their life.
Speaker 1: I mean they're just not you know. They talk that
Speaker 1: on Instagram and Twitter, and you know they say, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be riddy, I'm gonna eat this isn't that.
Speaker 1: But these are the same people that won't even stand
Speaker 1: up to the HR supervisor, you know, in demand along
Speaker 1: the break, let's just keep you one hundred. It's a
Speaker 1: lot to say behind the scenes, but when it really
Speaker 1: come down to it, people ain't about that life. If
Speaker 1: Trump supporters want to follow somebody, go follow them in
Speaker 1: the hood. Like that other video we saw when they
Speaker 1: went to the hood and for word and try it,
Speaker 1: they got ran out the hood. I think people know
Speaker 1: who they can attimidate and who they cannot. And I
Speaker 1: think that's always been in the mindset of any any warrior.
Speaker 1: Any warrior knows who they can play with and who
Speaker 1: they can't. So sure, you know, there might be unrests
Speaker 1: just to play into the narrative. I don't think that
Speaker 1: it would be the leftist stars that. I really don't
Speaker 1: And I think for the most part this idea that
Speaker 1: oh everybody in the country just about to go crazy
Speaker 1: and it's about to be some civil war. I see
Speaker 1: that shirt a lot that says I'm not my ancestors,
Speaker 1: and I take offensive that a lot too, because I
Speaker 1: know the idea of saying, you know, I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: play that, I'm this and that, But what the ancestors
Speaker 1: went through, we ain't built like that. We're not built
Speaker 1: to you know what I'm saying, Like, let's just keep
Speaker 1: it real. You're not built to jump off no ship.
Speaker 1: You're not built there were there were enslave folks that
Speaker 1: fought and had rebellion. You're not built like that. Most
Speaker 1: of y'all gonna take y'all ants to work at eight
Speaker 1: o'clock and be typing on your on your phone on Instagram.
Speaker 1: When we tell people to walk off their job, but
Speaker 1: just one day, they don't do it. We can't even
Speaker 1: get folks to boycott for longer than twenty four hours.
Speaker 1: So the deal that it's going to be this major,
Speaker 1: you know, across the country, civil war type thing, I
Speaker 1: just don't think we're built like that. Will there be
Speaker 1: could there be violence, absolutely, But most folks gonna be
Speaker 1: on their job, Angela. I mean, let's just keep it real.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be on their job because they gotta pay
Speaker 1: their bills. On fifteen. Yeah, you know, applies Applies said
Speaker 1: something interesting. He said that, and I'm paraphrasing Head that
Speaker 1: they will not start taking black people serious until we
Speaker 1: go out there and start exercising our vote the right way.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how I feel about that,
Speaker 1: only because black people have been blindly supporting THEMS forever.
Speaker 1: So so what do you think it will take for
Speaker 1: them to really start taking us serious when it comes
Speaker 1: to being a voting voting block. You know, this is
Speaker 1: a question that I've really been struggling with. You know.
Speaker 1: The thing that happened with Trump is them really having
Speaker 1: to pay attention like right now. You know, we've been
Speaker 1: telling them about black men and the importance of black men,
Speaker 1: black men, black men, black men, and now at the
Speaker 1: eleventh down, oh hey what about black men? You know,
Speaker 1: but I was talking about that way before this selection.
Speaker 1: And I think each and every time, well I know,
Speaker 1: each and every time we get close to moving forward,
Speaker 1: and let's say Biden wins, there is a certain people
Speaker 1: don't have to like this and that this is again
Speaker 1: not an endorsement of Trump, these are just facts when
Speaker 1: Biden wins. If he wins, there's a certain sector in
Speaker 1: the operative section of politics that feels, okay, no matter what,
Speaker 1: we'll always still win. They don't do the smart thing
Speaker 1: and say, hey, we came close and I can't afford
Speaker 1: to get this close again. Going back to the relationship analogy,
Speaker 1: if I take you back, it doesn't mean that you
Speaker 1: get comfortable. It means you really supposed to be on
Speaker 1: top of your game. So I feel until there's a
Speaker 1: big loss, loss enough for people to really hurt, for
Speaker 1: the middle class to really hurt, like the lower and
Speaker 1: lower class and the poor, I don't know if we'll
Speaker 1: ever you know, get to that place until that happens.
Speaker 1: America and humans are very self involved, their self center,
Speaker 1: just like they say, oh Wayne is doing it because
Speaker 1: he's self center, where you're self center to most people,
Speaker 1: what do we say, self preservation is first. So until
Speaker 1: we get out of that space and start thinking about
Speaker 1: others and what others may possibly be going through and
Speaker 1: not even just thinking about empathies, not enough. You have
Speaker 1: to hurt sometimes, like something has to hurt you enough
Speaker 1: to make you say I'll stand for the crime bill
Speaker 1: because of people that I know that did time, not
Speaker 1: because I watched when they see us great movie. But
Speaker 1: until you writing somebody in solitary confinement, till you putting
Speaker 1: money on somebody's book till you see how it mentally
Speaker 1: damages them after doing that time in prison. And I'm
Speaker 1: talking about first time non violent offenders. I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about everything with the crime bill. I'm not talk about violence.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about those Ada drugs. I'm specifically talking
Speaker 1: about first time non violent offenders. Until it hurts you,
Speaker 1: until you own the phone in tears. Like I was
Speaker 1: last night with the same person, you see things differently.
Speaker 1: I got one more question for you. You know, we
Speaker 1: had Jim clyburn on and he said, in the first
Speaker 1: hundred hours Biden being in office, first hundred hours, he
Speaker 1: wants them to form a committee to see the impact
Speaker 1: of the eighty six mandatory minimum sending thing as well
Speaker 1: as the ninety four crime Bill, and once we know
Speaker 1: what the damage is, then Biden can atone for it.
Speaker 1: What would you like to see this administration do if
Speaker 1: they get in Biden, Harris, what would you like to
Speaker 1: see them doing the first hundred days? I would absolutely
Speaker 1: like to see that. I wish Jim Claiborne would have
Speaker 1: said that when he was endorsing him instead of just
Speaker 1: we know Joe and Joe know us. See, that's the
Speaker 1: kind of thing that in politics that really gets that
Speaker 1: bothers me, Charlotta Magne's because they hold these nuggets that
Speaker 1: I feel would be so critical, that would have made
Speaker 1: a difference so that we wouldn't have had to argue
Speaker 1: this last year about Joe Biden had that been said
Speaker 1: in the beginning. But we play these for this is
Speaker 1: no shade on him. I'm just giving you how I
Speaker 1: feel we play these political games and say, well, let's
Speaker 1: not say that right now, let's just get him in
Speaker 1: and then let's say it later. But see what happens
Speaker 1: is you've had us arguing like hell over the crime
Speaker 1: bill when that should have been said out the gate
Speaker 1: so that it wouldn't be so hard. Now that's right,
Speaker 1: So of course I want to see that. Of course
Speaker 1: I want to see immediate accountability, not this game of
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I want to see economics. I want
Speaker 1: to see a lot of Mike Bloomberg's policies that he pushed.
Speaker 1: What I was about adopting some of his policies. He
Speaker 1: talked about black businesses. They never talk about black business
Speaker 1: at all, Like it's almost like they just we don't
Speaker 1: even exist, you know. I who want to see that happen.
Speaker 1: I want to see healthcare reform. I also want to
Speaker 1: see more opportunities on the state and local level. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of I really want to see their message
Speaker 1: in just change. When you talk about and I'll say
Speaker 1: this and shut up, but when you talk about state level,
Speaker 1: county medicare basically like a Medicare for all, Harris County
Speaker 1: has a county medical plan. I broke my ankle last year,
Speaker 1: this time one day in the hospital without even getting
Speaker 1: my ankle fixed. I had a twenty seven thousand dollar bill,
Speaker 1: damn for one day and I got the receipt to
Speaker 1: prove and that wasn't even fixing the ankle. Like, that's
Speaker 1: really like going on in people's life. Why don't they
Speaker 1: talk about that. Why don't you talk about how those
Speaker 1: types of policies. That's actually when you talk about medicare
Speaker 1: for all. When when we start talking about that, then
Speaker 1: it makes sense to people. That's what this Democrat Party
Speaker 1: needs to do. From from Jim cleinber on our dad.
Speaker 1: And it's not even about Biden. It's about these leaders
Speaker 1: who have been in office thirty forty fifty years. They
Speaker 1: know the right thing to do. They just need to
Speaker 1: start doing it word. Her name is Teslin. She's the
Speaker 1: host of this Grace Shot No Chase of podcasts on
Speaker 1: Black Effect. I always a pleasant task. I hope, I
Speaker 1: hope ya reckoning and celebrating in the next week. Yes man,
Speaker 1: we'll have some of that tequilo on your back. I
Speaker 1: got drinks over so they tell them where to find
Speaker 1: you so that they can argue with you if they
Speaker 1: want to. Yes, please, Teslin Figuo on all Things t
Speaker 1: e Z L y n F I G A R
Speaker 1: O Instagram, Twitter, and get on Twitter, y'all. We gotta
Speaker 1: start pushing people to Twitter because that's where information is.
Speaker 1: That's what politicians pay to pay attention to. They don't
Speaker 1: pay attention to Instagram. Was funny because when Wayne put
Speaker 1: out the tweet saying he supported Trump, some out on
Speaker 1: my Instagram said, oh, he didn't say it on Instagram.
Speaker 1: He said it on Twitter. Because Twitter is where it matters.
Speaker 1: I g is anti information. It doesn't allow you to
Speaker 1: share links, only videos and pictures. It's a reason for that.
Speaker 1: Get on Twitter, get involved in Twitter, and let's start
Speaker 1: having this conversation. Thank you so much. Listen up. Well.
Speaker 1: Yesterday on the Talk Eve made an announcement and said
Speaker 1: that she is leaving. It's been a crazy year, obviously
Speaker 1: for all of us, and I've been so grateful that
Speaker 1: I'm able to stay here in London and do the show.
Speaker 1: But I can't see for me the foreseeable future of
Speaker 1: traveling back at the moment, and have decided that at
Speaker 1: the end of December, this will probably be my last
Speaker 1: time on the show in this capacity as a host.
Speaker 1: They're gonna miss her. I get it, though, she you
Speaker 1: know she she got it. She set herself up, but
Speaker 1: she ain't got to worry about it and she don't
Speaker 1: want to She don't want to do She's like nine,
Speaker 1: but no, she's in London. She could do to zoom.
Speaker 1: She doesn't want to move back after December. So here's
Speaker 1: what else she had to say on another lockdown from Thursday.
Speaker 1: And that's another reason why, Like obviously, staying home has
Speaker 1: been such a blessing, because my husband and I got
Speaker 1: to know each other in another in a different way,
Speaker 1: a beautiful way. So I want to be closer to him.
Speaker 1: I want to concentrate on expanding our family, being with
Speaker 1: my family, and oh I want to hug you, luth
Speaker 1: Eve Man. I respect it. You have to know in
Speaker 1: this time for you to walk away from situations. Plus
Speaker 1: it's got to be difficult living in London but still
Speaker 1: keeping your finger on the post of things that are
Speaker 1: going on in America, especially right now. Right So yeah,
Speaker 1: and it probably was easier for her doing it virtually,
Speaker 1: but then you know, when it's time for her to
Speaker 1: have to get back in the studio, she's like, not
Speaker 1: leaving here and being with my family all right. Kurtie
Speaker 1: b has legally dropped her divorce proceedings against Offsets, so
Speaker 1: it looks like they are really trying to work things out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the That's the horrible thing about
Speaker 1: you know, being a relationship in the public like that
Speaker 1: is everything that you do is it goes out to
Speaker 1: the world, you know. I mean, this is something that's
Speaker 1: going on between them. You know, it could have been
Speaker 1: an argument, it could have been anything. But the first
Speaker 1: thing people say is he cheated, he did this, And
Speaker 1: she was like, no, we just had a bad argument.
Speaker 1: But I'm just glad they're working it out. Man. You
Speaker 1: gotta put the fear of God in your man sometime,
Speaker 1: whether you're filing for the voice supporting pistol on him. Okay, yes, girl,
Speaker 1: you gotta put the fear of God in your man sometimes. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm speaking from a man's perspective. Men, and it works
Speaker 1: for us, you know what I mean when a woman
Speaker 1: puts the fear of God and us in that way,
Speaker 1: But not theist. We're not just putting the fear of God.
Speaker 1: We mean it. And it ain't like I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: scare him at the time, mint it. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: of us for those who are just trying to scare us. Okay.
Speaker 1: And by the way, and you'd much rather have a
Speaker 1: pistol in your face as opposed to them divorce papers
Speaker 1: getting fired. Okay, preach amen, right right, amen? Preach as
Speaker 1: a woman, though I must. I've never heard I've never
Speaker 1: felt like and I've never heard none of my home
Speaker 1: girls say I'm just going threatened to leave him. I'm not, really,
Speaker 1: I just want to scare him. You surely mean it.
Speaker 1: It ain't like you just doing it to scare him.
Speaker 1: You mean, if you want to trying to scare somebody,
Speaker 1: you really thinking this is what I'm gonna do. I've
Speaker 1: got all right now. I love, I'm not even a woman,
Speaker 1: but I got home girls, and I've heard I heard
Speaker 1: that before. I'm just bugging you know what. I'm scared
Speaker 1: of the divorce papers bore and I'm scared of a pistol.
Speaker 1: I know that. Why would you let me speak for you?
Speaker 1: I got this all right, I'm Angela yee And that's
Speaker 1: your room report, all right, thank you, miss Ye. Now
Speaker 1: usually we do Donkey of the Day next, but Charlemagne,
Speaker 1: you got your Bredgren checking in. Well, it's election day,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Today's election day. And you
Speaker 1: know it's a lot of different elections going on all
Speaker 1: around the country and my home state of South Carolina.
Speaker 1: Jamie Harrison versus Lindsey Graham is a big one. So
Speaker 1: Jamie Hatson will be checking in with us. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, angel Ye, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we all the Breakfast Club. On election day,
Speaker 1: we have a special guest on the line, Stacey Abrahams.
Speaker 1: Good morning State, Say good morning. Thank you guys for
Speaker 1: having me. Man. I got so many questions for you
Speaker 1: this morning. Number one, when did Georgia become a battleground?
Speaker 1: State one of the US done. We were we were
Speaker 1: possibly a battleground state in twenty sixteen, but we know
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, when we were able to finally invest
Speaker 1: in black and brown voters and discouraged voters and Luke
Speaker 1: propensity voters, we became a battleground state. Was a one
Speaker 1: point four percent race. And so this year was the
Speaker 1: first year we had a presidential nominee who was willing
Speaker 1: to put the money in. It didn't hurt that we
Speaker 1: have two US Senate races, John ass Off and raw
Speaker 1: Fil Warnock, who've spent a lot of money to make
Speaker 1: sure that voters understand what's at staken, that their voice matters.
Speaker 1: We have you to think for George to becoming a
Speaker 1: batter ground state, then I've been doing a lot of work,
Speaker 1: but I can't take all the credit. We've had a
Speaker 1: lot of folks who have been trying to make this
Speaker 1: happen that Stacey asked the expert, I got some questions
Speaker 1: for you of what's happening today. So let's just say
Speaker 1: you're not registered to vote, and so you think that
Speaker 1: you can't vote. Is there a way that you can
Speaker 1: registers to vote today? So depends on the state you
Speaker 1: live in. If you go to I will vote dot com,
Speaker 1: it will give you information about whether you're in a
Speaker 1: state where they will allow same day registration. We know,
Speaker 1: for example, in North Carolina you can register the same day.
Speaker 1: I think the same thing is true in Michigan. So
Speaker 1: go to I will vote dot com, put in your code,
Speaker 1: put in your information, and it will tell you how
Speaker 1: you can register to vote if you can. Georgia unfortunately
Speaker 1: does not allow same day registration, but there are a
Speaker 1: lot of states that are moving in that direction, so
Speaker 1: make sure you take advantage of it. Now, today is
Speaker 1: the last day. Now, how important is voting for black
Speaker 1: and brown voters. There's a lot of people out there.
Speaker 1: Saw my vote doesn't matter, it's just one vote. Or
Speaker 1: I'm in a state that always goals democratic. I'm in
Speaker 1: a state that always goals Republicans. So what do you
Speaker 1: say to old people out there? Oh, even Georgia, you
Speaker 1: can't count anybody out. So here are three things to know.
Speaker 1: Number One, voting isn't magic, it's medicine. And so if
Speaker 1: we want to cure the ills, if we want to
Speaker 1: cure the diseases that we see in our country, racism
Speaker 1: systemic inequality, police brutality, income, inequality, healthcare. All of those
Speaker 1: things get changed by voting. In Georgia, in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 1: we had a congressional person, a congressional candidate who lost
Speaker 1: by four hundred and thirty three votes. So close races
Speaker 1: change the future, and we know if we can take
Speaker 1: the Senate and hold the House and win the presidency,
Speaker 1: that's the game changer. That is something we haven't seen
Speaker 1: since two thousand and eight. So Number One, think about
Speaker 1: voting not as magic. You're not gonna get everything you
Speaker 1: want by voting, but you get more of what you need,
Speaker 1: and the more we do it, the healthier we get.
Speaker 1: Number Two, your vote counts because if it didn't matter
Speaker 1: so much, they would not be spending millions of dollars
Speaker 1: to stop you. And they know they can count just
Speaker 1: like we can. And for the first time in American history,
Speaker 1: reef reached an inflection point where there are more of
Speaker 1: us than there are of them. When I say more
Speaker 1: of us, I mean more black and brown folks who
Speaker 1: can actually change the outcome of elections. That hasn't always
Speaker 1: been true. For most of my life, we have been
Speaker 1: nice to have, but not necessary to have now we're necessary,
Speaker 1: and if we show up and use our power, we
Speaker 1: win number three. If this is a close race, which
Speaker 1: we expect, it's going to be those marginal votes that
Speaker 1: nobody expected that actually change the world. So your vote
Speaker 1: could be the one that tips the difference one way
Speaker 1: or the other. And whether you vote or not, you're
Speaker 1: making a choice. If you don't show up, they're going
Speaker 1: to decide. They're going to assume that you chose what
Speaker 1: we've got. And if you're good with that, okay. But
Speaker 1: if you want something different, if you want something better,
Speaker 1: if you want a president who actually thinks that we
Speaker 1: shouldn't die from COVID nineteen so that he can pretend,
Speaker 1: if you want to make certain that we have a
Speaker 1: plan to stop chokeholds from killing black folks and brown folks.
Speaker 1: If you want there to be a difference, you not
Speaker 1: only need to vote for the president, but you need
Speaker 1: to vote all the way down the ballot. I heard
Speaker 1: the Earth Gang. I was on an IG Live and
Speaker 1: the Earth Gang set. The closer you get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of the ballot, the closer you get to home.
Speaker 1: So don't just think that the world is solved with
Speaker 1: the presidency. If you got to vote for DA's judges, mayors,
Speaker 1: state legislators. So make sure you vote the entire ballot.
Speaker 1: That's like doing a scratch off ticket and only scratching
Speaker 1: off a couple and number. Scratch off the whole thing,
Speaker 1: so you can make sure you can win the political lottery. Now, Stacy,
Speaker 1: what if you show up and they say you're not registered?
Speaker 1: So again, go to I will vote dot com to
Speaker 1: make sure that you're in a state where you can
Speaker 1: do same day registration. But if you think you're registered,
Speaker 1: go anyway. And what can happen is if you have
Speaker 1: any problems, called eight to six six hour vote. Eight
Speaker 1: six six hour vote. The only two things you need
Speaker 1: to remember today besides going to vote I will vote
Speaker 1: dot com at eight sixty six hour vote. Our vote
Speaker 1: is populated by civil rights attorneys whose only job today
Speaker 1: is to help you vote. So they can help you
Speaker 1: understand if it's your issue or if it's their issue.
Speaker 1: And one of the ways voter suppression works, it's by
Speaker 1: taking people off the roles who should not have been removed.
Speaker 1: If you call eight six six hour vote, they can
Speaker 1: help you get your registration issues resolved if possible, and
Speaker 1: they can tell you what you need to do, but
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, do not get out of line.
Speaker 1: Do you think fair Fight has done his job? You
Speaker 1: know what role do you think fair Fight played in
Speaker 1: ensuring at the voting process is fair all across the
Speaker 1: country today? But stay well answer that when we come back.
Speaker 1: All right, Stacy Abrams is here. Today's election day, so
Speaker 1: don't move. We got more with Stacy Abrams when we
Speaker 1: come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. On election Day. We have a special
Speaker 1: guest on the line, Stacy Abrams. Good morning, stay say morning,
Speaker 1: thank you guys for having me man. I got so
Speaker 1: many questions for you this morning. Number one, when day
Speaker 1: George would become a battleground dates day. We were possibly
Speaker 1: a battleground state in twenty sixteen, but we know in
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, when we were able to finally invest in
Speaker 1: black and brown voters, in discouraged voters and low propensity voters,
Speaker 1: we became a battleground state. It was a one point
Speaker 1: four percent race. And so this year was the first
Speaker 1: year we had a presidential nominee who was willing to
Speaker 1: put the money in. It didn't hurt that we have
Speaker 1: two US Senate races, John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, who
Speaker 1: spent a lot of money to make sure that voters
Speaker 1: understand what's at staken, that their voice matters. We have
Speaker 1: you to think George becoming a battleground state. Then I've
Speaker 1: been doing a lot of work, but I can't take
Speaker 1: all the credit. We've had a lot of folks who've
Speaker 1: been trying to make this happen. Now, Stacy as the expert,
Speaker 1: I got some questions for you of what's happening today.
Speaker 1: So let's just say you're not registered to vote, and
Speaker 1: so you think that you can't vote. Is there a
Speaker 1: way that you can register to vote today? So depends
Speaker 1: on the state you live in. If you go to
Speaker 1: I will vote dot com, it will give you information
Speaker 1: about whether you're in a state where they will allow
Speaker 1: same day registration. We know, for example, in North Carolina
Speaker 1: you can register the same day. I think the same
Speaker 1: thing is true in Michigan. So go to iwill vote
Speaker 1: dot com, put in your zip code, put in your information,
Speaker 1: and it will tell you how you can register to vote.
Speaker 1: If you can. Georgia unfortunately does not allow same day registration,
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of states that are moving
Speaker 1: in that direction, so make sure you take advantage of it. Now.
Speaker 1: Today is the last day. Now, how important is voting
Speaker 1: for black and brown voters because a lot of people
Speaker 1: out there and say, oh, my vote doesn't matter, it's
Speaker 1: just one vote. Or I'm in a state that always
Speaker 1: goals democratic. I'm in a state that always goals Republicans.
Speaker 1: So what do you say to old people out there?
Speaker 1: Oheve in Georgia, you can't count anybody out. So here
Speaker 1: are three things to know. Number one, voting isn't magic,
Speaker 1: it's medicine. And so if we want to cure the ills,
Speaker 1: if we want to cure the diseases that we see
Speaker 1: in our country, racism, systemic inequality, police brutality, income, inequality, healthcare,
Speaker 1: all of those things get changed by voting. In Georgia,
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, we had a congressional person, a congressional
Speaker 1: candidate who lost by four hundred and thirty three votes.
Speaker 1: So close races change the future. And we know if
Speaker 1: we can take the Senate and hold the House and
Speaker 1: when the presidency, that's the game changer. That is something
Speaker 1: we haven't seen since two thousand and eight. So Number one,
Speaker 1: think about voting not as a magic You're not gonna
Speaker 1: get everything you want by voting, but you get more
Speaker 1: of what you need, and the more we do it,
Speaker 1: the healthier we get. Number two, your vote counts because
Speaker 1: if it didn't matter so much, they would not be
Speaker 1: spending millions of dollars to stop you. And they know
Speaker 1: they can count just like we can. And for the
Speaker 1: first time in American history, reef reached an inflection point
Speaker 1: where there are more of us than there are of them.
Speaker 1: When I say more of us, I mean more black
Speaker 1: and brown folks who can actually change the outcome of elections.
Speaker 1: That hasn't always been true. For most of my life.
Speaker 1: We have been nice to have, but not necessary to have.
Speaker 1: Now we're necessary, and if we show up and use
Speaker 1: our power, we win. Number Three. If this is a
Speaker 1: close race, which we expect, it's going to be those
Speaker 1: marginal votes that nobody expected that actually changed the world.
Speaker 1: So your vote could be the one that tips the
Speaker 1: difference one way or the other. And whether you vote
Speaker 1: or not, you're making a choice. If you don't show up,
Speaker 1: they're going to decide. They're going to assume that you
Speaker 1: chose what we've got. And if you're good with that, okay,
Speaker 1: But if you want something different, if you want something better,
Speaker 1: if you want a president who actually thinks that we
Speaker 1: shouldn't die from COVID nineteen so that he can pretend,
Speaker 1: if you want to make certain that we have a
Speaker 1: plan to stop chokeholds from killing black folks and brown folks.
Speaker 1: If you want there to be a difference, you not
Speaker 1: only need to vote for the president, but you need
Speaker 1: to vote all the way down the ballot. I heard
Speaker 1: the Earth Gang. I was on an IG Live and
Speaker 1: the Earth Gang set. The closer you get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of the ballot, the closer you get to home.
Speaker 1: So don't just think that the world is solved with
Speaker 1: the presidency. If you got to vote for DA's judges, mayors,
Speaker 1: state legislators. So make sure you vote the entire ballot.
Speaker 1: That's like doing a scratch off ticket and only scratching
Speaker 1: off a couple and number. Scratch off the whole thing,
Speaker 1: so you can make sure you win the political lottery. Now,
Speaker 1: stay see what if you show up and they say
Speaker 1: you're not registered? So again, go to I will vote
Speaker 1: dot com to make sure that you're in a state
Speaker 1: where you can do same day registration. But if you
Speaker 1: think you're registered, go anyway. And what can happen is
Speaker 1: if you have any problems, called eight to six six
Speaker 1: hour vote eight six six hour vote. Only two things
Speaker 1: you need to remember today besides going to vote, I
Speaker 1: will vote dot com at eight six six hour vote.
Speaker 1: Our vote is populated by civil rights attorneys whose only
Speaker 1: job today is to help you vote. So they can
Speaker 1: help you understand if it's your issue or if it's
Speaker 1: their issue. And one of the ways voter suppression works,
Speaker 1: it's by taking people off the rolls who should not
Speaker 1: have been removed. If you call eight six six hour vote,
Speaker 1: they can help you get your registration issues resolved if possible,
Speaker 1: and they can tell you what you need to do.
Speaker 1: But no matter what happens, do not get out of line.
Speaker 1: Do you think fair Fight has done his job? You
Speaker 1: know what role do you think fair Fight played and
Speaker 1: ensuring at the voting process is fair all across the
Speaker 1: country today. But stay, we'll answer that when we come back.
Speaker 1: All right, Stacy Abrams is here. Today's election day, so
Speaker 1: don't move. We got more with Stacy Abrams. When we
Speaker 1: come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, wanting everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy and lu Ye Shalomagne the guy we
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club would be enjoined by Stacy Abrams
Speaker 1: this morning. Now, Shaloman, you had a question. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was talking about Stacey's initiative Fair Fight, and I was
Speaker 1: just wondering, you know, what role has fair Fight played
Speaker 1: and is sharing at the voting process? Is fair all
Speaker 1: across the country today? So when I wanted fair Fight
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, my first mission was to lift up
Speaker 1: the issue of voter suppression, to talk about it out loud,
Speaker 1: because we've known about it for years, but no one
Speaker 1: really was willing to say it aloud because we were
Speaker 1: afraid it would scare people. What I wanted people to
Speaker 1: understand is whether we said it or not, it was
Speaker 1: going to affect us, so we might as well talk
Speaker 1: about it. So Number one, I think we have had
Speaker 1: a robust conversation over the last two years about voter suppression.
Speaker 1: Number two, in the state of Georgia, we were able
Speaker 1: to change some of the worst laws related to voter suppression,
Speaker 1: making sure that exact match no longer holds black and
Speaker 1: Brown voters hostage, but also making sure that if you
Speaker 1: make a mistake on your absentee ballot, you now have
Speaker 1: time to fix it. They have to tell you there
Speaker 1: was a mistake, and they've got to let you fix it.
Speaker 1: But across the country, starting in August of twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: we have been in twenty battleground states. Were there to
Speaker 1: help make sure that voters got restored to the roles
Speaker 1: and Andy Basher became the governor of Kentucky when the
Speaker 1: Republican governor tried to purge one hundred and forty five thousand.
Speaker 1: We were down in Louisiana when John Bell Edwards needed
Speaker 1: black voters who were facing voter suppression, when were able
Speaker 1: to make sure they could make it through those lines
Speaker 1: and get to vote, and he was restored. We were
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin in April making sure that voters got the
Speaker 1: right to vote even in the midst of COVID, and
Speaker 1: we have been working across the country helping shore up
Speaker 1: through litigation, legislation, and advocacy and the one number I
Speaker 1: all uses this. In January of twenty twenty, only thirty
Speaker 1: four states allowed you to vote by mail with no excuse.
Speaker 1: As of today, it's forty five states. That means that
Speaker 1: in forty five states out of fifty people have the
Speaker 1: right and have had the right to vote absentee. That
Speaker 1: huge because in the midst of a pandemic, it was
Speaker 1: the safest way to vote. And I want to remind
Speaker 1: everyone if you have an abstine t ballot, take it
Speaker 1: directly to your elections office, to your drop box, get
Speaker 1: it in. Do not hand it to the post office.
Speaker 1: Today's last call. Drop it in yourself and make sure
Speaker 1: that you get your ballot turned in. Do you think
Speaker 1: we will know a winner for tonight because some people
Speaker 1: say we might possibly know. What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 1: So what we use, what we're used to our predictions.
Speaker 1: We don't ever know the actual answer on election night
Speaker 1: because states take time to count. We will likely have predictions,
Speaker 1: but hopefully the predictions will be based on the best information.
Speaker 1: And my hope is that we won't hear anything until
Speaker 1: people know something. It is better for us to get
Speaker 1: an answer that is slow and right than fast and wrong.
Speaker 1: And if we take the time to count all of
Speaker 1: these apps and tea ballots. More than one hundred million
Speaker 1: people voted early, and it takes more time to count
Speaker 1: paper ballots. We need to be patient. We don't need
Speaker 1: to know the answer when we go to bed. What
Speaker 1: we need to know when we go to bed tonight
Speaker 1: is that every American who wanted to vote got a
Speaker 1: chance to vote. We'll get the answer, but I'd rather
Speaker 1: have the answer to be right than have an answer
Speaker 1: that's unclear and that leads to chaos. Stacy, do you
Speaker 1: think the Democratic model as currently constructed a sustainable meaning?
Speaker 1: Black men and black women are the largest group of
Speaker 1: voters for Democrats, but it's always show up for them,
Speaker 1: but a lot of black people feel like they don't
Speaker 1: show up for us. How much longer can that work
Speaker 1: for Democrats if it works today? Well, I frame it
Speaker 1: slightly differently. Yes, Black voters have been the most loyal
Speaker 1: contingency of the Democratic Party, and we are being joined
Speaker 1: by more and more young people, by more and more
Speaker 1: people of color, Latino, Asian, American, Pacific Islander, Native American.
Speaker 1: We're being joined by white voters who realize that the
Speaker 1: Republican model does not help them progress. But we also
Speaker 1: have to remember our numbers are different. For so long,
Speaker 1: we voted in a party where we were not only
Speaker 1: the minority in the population. We're the minority in the party.
Speaker 1: But when you add together all of the rising American electorate,
Speaker 1: we now have the ability to actually set the if
Speaker 1: we show up. And that's the big piece I think
Speaker 1: it's missing in this conversation. Twenty years ago, there weren't
Speaker 1: enough of us to absolutely guarantee outcomes. Now there are.
Speaker 1: If we actually voted our power, we have the ability
Speaker 1: to not only change the direction of the Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: we can change the direction of the nation. But we've
Speaker 1: got to recognize that it's a dual responsibility. We need
Speaker 1: those we need folks to pour into us, but we've
Speaker 1: got to pour into ourselves and make sure that we
Speaker 1: vote our power up and down the ballot, because it's
Speaker 1: not just about who wins the presidency, it's about who
Speaker 1: wins every single seat and makes every single law. So
Speaker 1: after we do that, how do we make clear I
Speaker 1: guess what do we do next? Like, do we make
Speaker 1: clear demands and to tell them what we want? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: So I talked about it this way. We protest in
Speaker 1: the streets to demand what we want. We protest at
Speaker 1: the ballot box to get who we need, and then
Speaker 1: we protest in the halls of power to hold them accountable.
Speaker 1: Politics the only job where you get hired and then
Speaker 1: people leave for two to four years and expect you
Speaker 1: to just do what you're supposed to do. If we
Speaker 1: don't hold people accountable, why would we think they're going
Speaker 1: to do what we need them to do. Yes, well, Stacy,
Speaker 1: thank you so much for joining us. I know it's
Speaker 1: a super busy day you have all these live TV hits,
Speaker 1: but we do always appreciate you for checking in and
Speaker 1: keeping us informed. Already, she has a live hit in
Speaker 1: five minutes. Let me get one. I got one morning, Stacy.
Speaker 1: You are a VP hopeful. People say Stacey was campaigning
Speaker 1: for the job. Was that over the case, and if so,
Speaker 1: how do you feel today? I never campaigned for the job.
Speaker 1: I answered questions, and apparently being honest is not supposed
Speaker 1: to happen. I don't believe in denying my ambition because
Speaker 1: I'm not just speaking for myself. I'm speaking for every
Speaker 1: black and brown girl who's ever wanted more and people.
Speaker 1: I can't assume people will give me the benefits of
Speaker 1: the doubt. I've got to give myself the platform, and
Speaker 1: if you ask me a question, I'm going to give
Speaker 1: you an answer, and I've always tried to be candid,
Speaker 1: and I was candid. Then let's remember I got the
Speaker 1: same question starting in March of twenty nineteen, the only
Speaker 1: person who was asked that question over and over again
Speaker 1: for eighteen months, and my answer never changed. It's just
Speaker 1: started paying attention. All right, Well, Stacey, we appreciate you
Speaker 1: for checking in. Thank you so much. Thank you you guys,
Speaker 1: eight to six hour vote, Get it done. All right? Now,
Speaker 1: we got rumors on the way, yes, and bad news
Speaker 1: for Genie May. She has been hospitalized and has to
Speaker 1: leave Dancing with the Stars. We'll tell you what you
Speaker 1: had to say, all right, we'll get to that next.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Go Morning, the Breakfast Club. This
Speaker 1: is the rumor report with Angela Yeast Club. Well. Timberland
Speaker 1: posted a picture of Joda see on the cover of
Speaker 1: Vibe magazine and said this group changed R and B.
Speaker 1: Y'all will soon see hashtag versus who would you like
Speaker 1: to see Joda see battle? I love Joda see I
Speaker 1: mean Joda see could battle any of the groups I
Speaker 1: mean the drew Hills of the World, the Jagged Edges,
Speaker 1: I mean, the Jaggets, did one twelve? Did one twelve?
Speaker 1: So I guess the only who did I just say,
Speaker 1: other than one twelve? Jacket Edge, Who'd I say? You
Speaker 1: said Drew Hill? But yeah, Jodi and Drew Hill would
Speaker 1: be a good one. No one, Why not? DA has
Speaker 1: so many Rember. I'm a Joda see guy all day.
Speaker 1: I'm you know, Joda ce plays in my crib on
Speaker 1: a regular daily, weekly whatever. But I think Jodi Drew
Speaker 1: Hill wouldn't be bad. I saw people saying boys to men.
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of that. Nah boys, the men
Speaker 1: didn't have those Um, I don't think boysman had those
Speaker 1: cultural anthems like Jodac had boys. Men had big commercial records.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, well they had End of the Road. That's
Speaker 1: a big commercial record. Yeah, and you know, you know
Speaker 1: your mighty right. I don't know who could really battle
Speaker 1: Joda see around the end of the Road. Now it's
Speaker 1: like riding with the windshield wife was going and it
Speaker 1: ain't even raining, you know what I mean? Like Yan,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nobody the northern groups of Blackstreet or
Speaker 1: New Edition, and you know I mean that one Drew
Speaker 1: Hill would be the only thing that makes sense to
Speaker 1: me against Joda. See all right, Well, Genie May was hospitalized.
Speaker 1: She has a thrill condition, and she was forced to
Speaker 1: leave Dancing with the Stars. She said, this absolutely devastated
Speaker 1: that my journey on Detimate starsend this way. I found
Speaker 1: out that I have a throat abscess where my tonsils
Speaker 1: and my throat had gotten so infected that it started
Speaker 1: permeating to the rest of the areas behind my neck
Speaker 1: and my ears. That I had to get emergency surve
Speaker 1: for you, which is why I'm here now. Everything went gray.
Speaker 1: One more day, your throat would have closed up now.
Speaker 1: Her dance partner also put out a video message to
Speaker 1: saying that they were devastated by the news. So she
Speaker 1: won't be able to compete this season because of these
Speaker 1: health concerns. Fortunately, it seems like she'll be okay. So
Speaker 1: lout to Genie. I'm glad she caught that throat condition,
Speaker 1: and I wonder what causes that, and I hope we
Speaker 1: don't find out. Genie. Now you mean you're glad you
Speaker 1: caught it early. I'm glad she caught her throat condition
Speaker 1: early so she could do something about it. Um, And
Speaker 1: I just wonder what causes that. I hope we don't
Speaker 1: find out Genie Ma was walking around the house doing
Speaker 1: Jeez's ad libs. And you know that that russho something
Speaker 1: in her throat. All right, now, Chrissy Teagan has gotten
Speaker 1: a tattoo and that's honoring her late son Jack. So
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately for her would have been the third baby.
Speaker 1: The baby died in just twenty weeks. She now has
Speaker 1: made sure he'll always be remembered with the tattoo of
Speaker 1: his name on her wrist. So a lot of people, actually,
Speaker 1: after she posted that, a lot of her fans started
Speaker 1: posting photos of tattoos they got to honor loved ones
Speaker 1: that they lost as well. Wow, yes, and the legends
Speaker 1: all right. Monique said that Whoopie Goldberg told her to
Speaker 1: get rid of her husband. And here's what she had
Speaker 1: to say. As she was talking on out Loud with
Speaker 1: Claudia Jordan on Fox Soul, and she said to me,
Speaker 1: it's your husband. You gotta get rid of your husband.
Speaker 1: And I said, Whoopie, my husband negotiated the biggest deals
Speaker 1: I've had in my career, along with our attorney, Ricky Anderson,
Speaker 1: two black men. And she went dead silent, and then
Speaker 1: she said, you better stop worrying about that little girl
Speaker 1: coming behind you, and you better worry about you. At
Speaker 1: that moment, I knew Whoopi Goldberg wasn't worried about me
Speaker 1: because I'm the little girl coming behind her. So you
Speaker 1: can't go againsist machine. And because your husband is a
Speaker 1: proud black man and he wants answers that they cannot give,
Speaker 1: you need to let him go. That's what that black
Speaker 1: woman was saying to me. In addition to that, she
Speaker 1: says that she does not regret the drama that she
Speaker 1: had with Lee Daniels, Tyler Perry, and Oprah. She said
Speaker 1: she keep on speaking her truth and fighting for her
Speaker 1: family as long as she has breath in her body.
Speaker 1: And she said that whole ordeal did cost her and
Speaker 1: her family millions of dollars and generational money, but she
Speaker 1: wants to make sure the matter does get resolved. She's
Speaker 1: not going to stop until it does. You know, I
Speaker 1: had a friend tell me yesterday that Monique is absolutely
Speaker 1: right in regards that everything she says about Oprah, Tyler Ferry,
Speaker 1: and Lee Daniels liked. They said, Monique told them from
Speaker 1: the beginning she wouldn't be able to travel for that movie,
Speaker 1: and they knew that. I don't know what's true or
Speaker 1: was that. I'm just saying, I'm just giving a different perspective.
Speaker 1: That's what somebody said to me yesterday. All right, Well
Speaker 1: I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: let me ask you guys a question. Jody see, what
Speaker 1: about TLC or s w V. What what about them?
Speaker 1: A bad versus battle? That'd be dope? No? Well, no,
Speaker 1: I would like to see them against s w V.
Speaker 1: I think that's a good matchup. Maybe they had a
Speaker 1: lot of s w V. Wouldn't be bad. That actually
Speaker 1: wouldn't be bad. Joda C versus I would like that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I'm a big fans of both of them. I
Speaker 1: don't know who I would pick, Tony Tony Tony TLC
Speaker 1: us versus. I'm here for that. I'm here for Joda
Speaker 1: C versus Tony, Tony Tony versus s w V. I like.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I like that. Who do you have?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why. I like that because they
Speaker 1: both had freaky songs, you know what I'm saying, And
Speaker 1: it'd be like a dope at home date night type
Speaker 1: of versus battle. I like that I like Joda ce
Speaker 1: versus Tony Tony Tony you got, I got Tony Tony
Speaker 1: Tony Bro. That's tough, Bro, Tony feels good, ever, rains anniversary,
Speaker 1: whatever you want. Yeah, but it's tough, man, It's tough Tony.
Speaker 1: You gotta get along with each other again because y'all
Speaker 1: messed up that relationship. Yeah, that's the tough one. I
Speaker 1: still like Joda c Drew Hill, but I like the
Speaker 1: Jode Tony Tony Tony match up. All right, well, shout
Speaker 1: to revote. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Man. Everybody get
Speaker 1: out there and vote people's choice mixes up. Next, it's

Speaker 1: in as well. Salute to Stacey Abrams. Wish we could
Speaker 1: have got to talk to Stacy a little longer. Had
Speaker 1: a couple more questions for Stacey a super busy day
Speaker 1: for her, I guess because of what she does and
Speaker 1: vote to suppression and fair fight. I know it's been
Speaker 1: a crazy time. And also from South Carolina, Jamie Harrison
Speaker 1: checked it as well. Jamie Harrison, he's running for senator
Speaker 1: in South Carolina. Man, please make sure y'all going vote
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Harrison. Let's get Lindsay Lady bud Graham up
Speaker 1: out of there. All right, Well you got a positive note. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't really have a positive note. It's just more
Speaker 1: of a statement. I said it early in the show,
Speaker 1: and I want to expound on it just a little bit,
Speaker 1: like we have no idea what the world is going
Speaker 1: to look like after the day, but just know, whatever happens,
Speaker 1: it's all God's will. As my late great friend Jasmine
Speaker 1: Jazz Fly Waters used to say, trust God to God. Okay,
Speaker 1: if Republicans win black people, we got work to do.
Speaker 1: If Democrats win black people, we got work to do.
Speaker 1: The illusion of America has been revealed to everybody this year,
Speaker 1: and this system was considered normal has never worked for
Speaker 1: all of us. So tonight, regardless of who wins, it's
Speaker 1: really nothing to celebrate. Trump administration wins, gonna keep community building,
Speaker 1: job creating and dealing with politics on a local level
Speaker 1: and supporting those who choose to engage, you know, with
Speaker 1: that administration on our behalf, and you know, vice versa.
Speaker 1: If Democrats win, you know, nearly one hundred million people
Speaker 1: have voted already. Who knows what that walk up is
Speaker 1: gonna be like today, But once again, regardless of what
Speaker 1: happens tonight, it's nothing to celebrate. So I guess the
Speaker 1: moral of the story is simply, Black people, we got
Speaker 1: work to do. Preface club pitches, you know, finish a
Speaker 1: y'all done,
