Speaker 1: breakfast this morning? I have a I have a question
Speaker 1: this morning. So this fireworks situation, right, is this happening everywhere?
Speaker 1: Because fourth of July is coming up it was just Juneteenth.
Speaker 1: I saw in New York they actually went to the
Speaker 1: Mayor's house, to Gracie Mansion to protest, just because people
Speaker 1: can't sleep at night because there's so many fireworks. Is
Speaker 1: this something going on across the nation? Let me tell you,
Speaker 1: it's getting so ridiculous here in New York. When I
Speaker 1: was using fireworks, Yeah, when I was a kid, you
Speaker 1: couldn't get fireworks. You had to drive to Pennsylvania or
Speaker 1: Virginia to buy fireworks. Now they, like I said, they
Speaker 1: sell it in the grocery store, they sell it in
Speaker 1: the BJ's coscoal. You can get it, damn it anywhere,
Speaker 1: and kids are going crazy with them. They shoot Roman candles.
Speaker 1: I've never heard this many fireworks for so many nights
Speaker 1: in a row, all night long. Expensive. No, I mean,
Speaker 1: I grew up in I grew up in South Carolina,
Speaker 1: so we always shot fireworks. But I have been here.
Speaker 1: I've been reading a couple of stories with people complaining
Speaker 1: about firework activity all throughout the night. I saw in
Speaker 1: Oakland complain. Yeah, we've always always had California, but they
Speaker 1: were they were illegal. You weren't supposed to have them.
Speaker 1: But you know, a little body I was gun shot.
Speaker 1: You heard in Brooklyn stopped. We always as a matter
Speaker 1: of fact, somebody on my black growing up, he blew
Speaker 1: his hand off from lighting fireworks on the roof. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we used to get the m eighties from the bodaggas
Speaker 1: or the jumping jacks or the Roman candles, or they
Speaker 1: had the tank that would roll a little bit and
Speaker 1: then explode. But yeah, you didn't hear too many people
Speaker 1: that had them. All. We used to as a kid.
Speaker 1: We should take the m ads and put them in
Speaker 1: the telephone move and blow up the telephone move and
Speaker 1: get like two dollars in quarters. That was fun, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, it was stupid stuff, but they banned it.
Speaker 1: I used fireworks. The woman who used to molest me
Speaker 1: when I was eight, I used fireworks to make cress stop.
Speaker 1: It was a little snap of things that you throw
Speaker 1: and they popped. That's not fire works. Yeah, you buy
Speaker 1: them at the fireworks though, the little snaps. Of course,
Speaker 1: that wasn't a damn fireworks. Then you didn't light it
Speaker 1: with Don't tell me what my childhood was like. You
Speaker 1: don't light them with a lighter. Their little fireworks you
Speaker 1: throw they pops. Say fireworks though, where you buy the snaps?
Speaker 1: Where where do you buy those snaps from? Now? Then
Speaker 1: you could buy that like one of the little novelty
Speaker 1: shops and dollar stores have them. Yeah, everybody has. I
Speaker 1: never I've never seen him in the novelties to only
Speaker 1: buy them into fireworks then, but I used when she
Speaker 1: used to touch on me, I started throwing them at a.
Speaker 1: I guess that's why she stopped. All right, Okay, that's
Speaker 1: a little awkward. But now, um, today, Yes, John Legend
Speaker 1: will be joining us, John Legend, John two Johns will
Speaker 1: be joining Johns, John Stewart, and John Legend. That's right, John.
Speaker 1: John Legend has an album out right now. John Stewart
Speaker 1: has a movie coming out called Irresistible. I thoroughly enjoyed
Speaker 1: the movie. Um, I saw, I got some terrible, terrible
Speaker 1: reviews I read. I read those yesterday. Oh yeah, it
Speaker 1: did I read those yesterday? We see. That's one of
Speaker 1: the reason I don't like read reviews or listen to
Speaker 1: other people's opinions before I watched something before I consume something,
Speaker 1: because I watched it just on the script when they
Speaker 1: sent it for us to watch. Because he was coming
Speaker 1: to do the conversation and I thought it was greatly Yeah,
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. I wouldn't thought they got terrible reviews.
Speaker 1: Horrible they killed it. Wow. All right, well, let's get
Speaker 1: the show crack in front page news. What we're talking about, Well,
Speaker 1: maybe you're gonna be ready for some baseball soon. It
Speaker 1: didn't look like it was coming back, but now it
Speaker 1: looks like Major League Baseball is really trying to start
Speaker 1: July twenty fourth. All right, we'll get into that next.
Speaker 1: Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning, DJ Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we all the Breakfast Club. Let's get in
Speaker 1: some front page news when we're starting with ye, well,
Speaker 1: let's start. We're in Major League Baseball might be coming
Speaker 1: back around July twenty fourth, and they're targeting a sixty
Speaker 1: games season. But first any players to sign off on
Speaker 1: a health and safety protocol and to pledge to arrive
Speaker 1: at home stadiums by July first in order to prepare
Speaker 1: for the season. So we'll see, it's been three months
Speaker 1: of negotiations and it still hasn't been worked out. I
Speaker 1: knew that immediately. Yesterday. I took my son fishing yesterday
Speaker 1: and as we were going fishing. I looked on a
Speaker 1: baseball field and they're playing a game. The little league
Speaker 1: actually playing a game. So when I seen little league
Speaker 1: playing and like, these are kids playing, I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: major League Baseball definite coming back. They allowing these kids
Speaker 1: in these different states to play, They're gonna bring major
Speaker 1: League Baseball back. That's not what it is. They've been
Speaker 1: trying to negotiate. But it all has to do with
Speaker 1: the finances of it also, so you know, they're trying
Speaker 1: to pack in as many games as they can, and
Speaker 1: there's a Yeah, that's what the real issue is. It's
Speaker 1: not that they can't play. Oh, so they don't care
Speaker 1: about the same COVID. They care just about the money. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sure they care about that also, but yeah, of
Speaker 1: course they care about that. Also, they gotta care about COVID.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's the only reason that it's a delay
Speaker 1: and they're having the kind of I guess shortness season
Speaker 1: that they're having. I'm sure it's because of COVID. But
Speaker 1: but but people are not gonna make the same noise
Speaker 1: about the MLB as they did about the NBA. And
Speaker 1: I don't find the MLB as a distraction and then
Speaker 1: they say that about the NBA. The NBA can't come
Speaker 1: back and they would be a distraction. And everything that's
Speaker 1: going on right now, you don't have the same energy
Speaker 1: from Major League Baseball. Maybe once they announced a real plan,
Speaker 1: we'll see, but yeah, it doesn't look it doesn't look
Speaker 1: that way. Now, let's talk about what's happening with Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: He is focusing on restricting immigration into the United States.
Speaker 1: So he as you know, they have extended DOCCA, and
Speaker 1: he said over the weekend he intends to refile paperwork
Speaker 1: to end DOCCA, that's the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program,
Speaker 1: after the Supreme Court rejected his first attempt to do so. Now,
Speaker 1: his reasoning for that is because he wants to make
Speaker 1: sure that the economy can recover and that people who
Speaker 1: are US citizens can actually get these jobs. And Amazon, Google, Twitter,
Speaker 1: and other tech companies are speaking out against Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: freeze on immigrant work visas. So the company said they
Speaker 1: will the company said it will make American firms less
Speaker 1: competitive and less diverse, as he has extended that freeze
Speaker 1: on these work visas. So the tech industry does rely
Speaker 1: very heavily on the visa program and other work visas
Speaker 1: to recruit employees from outside of the United States, and
Speaker 1: that's in particular for technical facing jobs. And so they're
Speaker 1: saying it's now an unbelievably bad policy that will undermine
Speaker 1: a merror because economic recovery and its competitiveness. If you
Speaker 1: guys pay attention to this whole immigration situation. Now, this
Speaker 1: NYPD shake Shack poisoning, whole scandal they said was not
Speaker 1: what it was made out to be. If you guys
Speaker 1: remember three cops went to shake Shack and they said
Speaker 1: that they were poisoned, right, But now there's a full
Speaker 1: picture of what really happened because they said it tasted
Speaker 1: like bleach, so they threw it out. So it's saying
Speaker 1: it's impossible for them to have known that it was
Speaker 1: actually drinks that were made for police officers. Their drinks
Speaker 1: were waiting for them when they arrived at shake Shack
Speaker 1: because they actually placed an order using the mobile apps,
Speaker 1: so you have no idea who's placing this order. They
Speaker 1: purchased three shakes across two separate orders, and the workers
Speaker 1: couldn't have known it was cops that were doing it
Speaker 1: because it wasn't done in person. They couldn't have done
Speaker 1: anything to the drinks after the officers arrived, because the
Speaker 1: drinks were already packaged and waiting for pickup. So what
Speaker 1: ends up happening is, you know, how they clean out
Speaker 1: the machines, and so when they clean out the machines,
Speaker 1: they have this thing called the residual milkstone remover. It's
Speaker 1: a tip acidic solution that they used to combat build
Speaker 1: up in dairy equipment. So maybe there might have been
Speaker 1: a little bit with that. They tasted of that in
Speaker 1: their drinks, but it wasn't what it was made out
Speaker 1: to be, Like some officers were being poisoned and they
Speaker 1: don't know why this whole thing was blown out of proportion.
Speaker 1: So they lied because it couldn't have been bleaching if
Speaker 1: they if they called ahead, and there's no way they
Speaker 1: would have known that they were police officers that were
Speaker 1: just like, it's just a random over each person just
Speaker 1: ordering food. Correct. Yeah, And I don't think it was
Speaker 1: the officers that lie because it did have a taste
Speaker 1: to it, and that's probably what the taste came from.
Speaker 1: But they said when they went back to work, I
Speaker 1: guess for some reason, you know, they made a huge
Speaker 1: deal out of it. Their higher ups and made it
Speaker 1: a big deal. The Police Benevolent President Association president made
Speaker 1: a show of visiting the hospital and said that the
Speaker 1: police officers came under attack from a toxic substance that
Speaker 1: was believed to be bleach. That whole story just ended
Speaker 1: up spreading, and so I don't think it was the
Speaker 1: actual police officers that made it a big deal. Well,
Speaker 1: just to play white Devil's advocate, what if they frequent
Speaker 1: this shake shock often and the workers their new their name.
Speaker 1: That's a possibility. Yeah, but it was, but there wasn't
Speaker 1: actually bleacher. It's probably the machine was just cleaned and
Speaker 1: you know how you get those first drinks after they
Speaker 1: cleaned the machine. That's true too, that's another possibility. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what they're saying. Happen. M okay, all right, well
Speaker 1: that is your front page news. All right, thank you,
Speaker 1: miss ye. Now get it off your chest. Eight hundred

Speaker 1: the whole the LGBT community, all those letters, the first
Speaker 1: three letters are sexually on it, or say you know

Speaker 1: he found a noose in his team's garage. All right,
Speaker 1: who wow? All right, we'll get to that next keeping

Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's
Speaker 1: talk Bubbo Wallace. This is the rumor report with Angela
Speaker 1: year Breakfast Club. Well, Bubba Wallace, who was the only
Speaker 1: black driver in NASCAR's Top series, did confirm that on
Speaker 1: Sunday there was a new was found in his team's
Speaker 1: garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway. And now they are investigating.
Speaker 1: The news was found by a member of Bubba Wallace's team,
Speaker 1: and it was just hours after somebody flew a Confederate
Speaker 1: flag over the track to protest NASCAR banning the Confederate
Speaker 1: flag at all events. So they're trying to figure out
Speaker 1: who did this. Now NASCAR released a statement, we are
Speaker 1: angry and outraised and cannot stay strongly enough how seriously
Speaker 1: we take this heynous act. Yeah, that is totally fall.
Speaker 1: I heard Jesse Smolette was trending yesterday because people will
Speaker 1: believe and maybe he did it himself, but that's crazy.
Speaker 1: You can't go to work without seeing that they banned
Speaker 1: the flag. People still come out to Hija Jaha with
Speaker 1: the flags and trying to put it on their cause.
Speaker 1: It's just so disrespectful man. Positively, Yeah, they were trying
Speaker 1: to do all these like truck drivers rolling past with
Speaker 1: the Confederate flag. It was like a protest parade with
Speaker 1: a lot of the people. They were people setting up
Speaker 1: camp across the street, and they were also displaying the
Speaker 1: Confederate flag. That's how much step flag means to them.
Speaker 1: And there were some Trump flags alongside the Confederate flags
Speaker 1: as well. All right. In addition to that, Bubba wile
Speaker 1: this did Finnis fourteenth yesterday, drivers did rally behind him.
Speaker 1: It was a very emotional scene. So listen to this.
Speaker 1: It's been tough, it's been it's been hell. Earlier I
Speaker 1: would say hell, it's just been hectic, you know, carrying
Speaker 1: its weight and carrying his burden. I wouldn't really say
Speaker 1: burden either. I'm proud to stand where I'm at and
Speaker 1: carry a new face. Look at this first time right
Speaker 1: here from Atlanta. The sport is changing. Sorry, I'm not
Speaker 1: wearing my mask, but I wanted to show whoever it was,
Speaker 1: You're not gonna take away my smile and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep on going. The pre rate steal was probably one
Speaker 1: of the hardest things I've ever had to witness in
Speaker 1: my life. From all the supporters, from drivers, from crew members,
Speaker 1: everybody here the badass fan base, thank you guys for
Speaker 1: coming out here. Yeah, definitely positive eyes for that brother man.
Speaker 1: He's going through a lot, and I'm glad that they're
Speaker 1: rallying behind him. Yeah. Yeah, most people are so, and
Speaker 1: I know that's a hurtful time and things to go through.
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm glad that NASCAR is doing the
Speaker 1: right thing though, at least right all right, little baby.
Speaker 1: He's upset that Walmart has been selling fake gold chains
Speaker 1: with his logo on it, four pockets full of jewelry,
Speaker 1: and he's not happy at all. He called him out
Speaker 1: on Twitter. He said, Walmart got me ffed up. Did
Speaker 1: y'all see these bootleg chains? I did see him. I Mean,
Speaker 1: the good thing about it is that's his logo, so
Speaker 1: he could probably sue if it's you know, his and
Speaker 1: his trademark. But remember we used to see that all
Speaker 1: the time. I've never seen in a Walmart, but we
Speaker 1: always used to see it in the mall where it
Speaker 1: was cash money. I've seen the Rockefeller stuff. I've seen
Speaker 1: Masterpiece ice cream trunk. There's been a lot of jewelry
Speaker 1: in the mall though. Yeah, absolutely, we might have some
Speaker 1: of those chains, right, No, that mean ninety nine, all right.
Speaker 1: Carl Crawford is being sued for one million dollars by
Speaker 1: the mother of the child who drowned at his home.
Speaker 1: We told you about this drowning incident. It took place
Speaker 1: last month. It was a small gathering and it was
Speaker 1: a five year old boy and an adult woman who
Speaker 1: died when the little boy fell into the pool. She
Speaker 1: actually dove in to try to save the five year old,
Speaker 1: and they both later died at a nearby hospital. Now,
Speaker 1: the mom, leb on Hersey, is saying that Carl Crawford
Speaker 1: is solely responsible for the incident. She says her five
Speaker 1: year old son, who suffered from drowning, wasn't properly protected,
Speaker 1: and that this pool had no fencing, no alarm system,
Speaker 1: and so she's holding him responsible. She went to one
Speaker 1: million dollars in her lawsuit against him. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: the defensing only secures it if around the whole yard.
Speaker 1: But if you're out in the barbecue, having a you know,
Speaker 1: having a barbecue by the pool, a pool is usually open.
Speaker 1: I do know in Florida, which I thought was dope,
Speaker 1: they have these alarms that when you go outside to
Speaker 1: the pool, the alarm goes off like crazy, which I'm
Speaker 1: going to install in my house or my kids. Not
Speaker 1: a swim But he has insurance. I'm sure it's insurance
Speaker 1: to be able to take care of it. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's a sad situation. It's definitely a sad situation. I
Speaker 1: don't know how do you claim whose fault it was?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Because when I'm out, I
Speaker 1: guess if it's on your property, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: it's in my kids my responsibility though, Like if I'm
Speaker 1: out at a pool party, I'm watching my kids to
Speaker 1: make sure my kids are safe. So I don't know
Speaker 1: who's you know, responsibility legally, I don't know how this
Speaker 1: works legally. I don't know if you know this happening
Speaker 1: on your property, Just like if you slip and falling
Speaker 1: someone's property or something happens to you, you can sue, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's if you slip and fall. But if my child,
Speaker 1: you know, goes into the pool or jumps into the pool,
Speaker 1: falls into the pool. Shit, As a parent, you keep
Speaker 1: an eye on your kids to make sure you know
Speaker 1: what they're at at any given moment. I'm just asking.
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know, and I would love to know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. They might. She's saying that
Speaker 1: it was unsafe because there was no way for if
Speaker 1: you're at someone's house and a child could just fall
Speaker 1: into the pool. I don't know, but I guess we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. All right, Well, I man de la yee.
Speaker 1: That's your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye.
Speaker 1: Now when we come back front page news, what we're
Speaker 1: talking about, Yes, we we're talking about Dak Prescott and
Speaker 1: his deal that he just signed with the Cowboys. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. Keeping lock this to Breakfast Cloud,
Speaker 1: Go morning, vj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy, we
Speaker 1: all the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page
Speaker 1: news where we're starting you well, Dak Prescott has officially
Speaker 1: signed his thirty well received his alty one point four
Speaker 1: million exclusive franchise ten there from the Dallas Cowboys. They
Speaker 1: have until July fifteenth to work out a long term deal,
Speaker 1: otherwise one cannot be done until after this season. So
Speaker 1: the good news is, I guess he'll be back for
Speaker 1: this season and he does want to stay. Is he
Speaker 1: worth the money having? I mean, I don't know what
Speaker 1: his deal is. I think I saw something yesterday that
Speaker 1: he signed a thirty one point five million dollar franchise
Speaker 1: tag for the Cowboys, But I don't know how long
Speaker 1: it is. I don't know if that's where. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that is. It's not a long term. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not a long term deal. So they're saying that
Speaker 1: he will be one of the highest paid players in
Speaker 1: the NFL, and then they said next season that could
Speaker 1: increase by a mandatory twenty percent to thirty seven point
Speaker 1: seven million with a flat or lower cap in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one. So they do want to do a long
Speaker 1: term deal before July fifteenth, But if they wait till
Speaker 1: after that, then you can't do it till after the season. Okay, Okay,
Speaker 1: got it? I hope we gets all the money that
Speaker 1: he's worth. Runnun all right. Rhode Island. Now, I didn't
Speaker 1: know about this, but they saying Rhode Island might change
Speaker 1: its official state name because of slavery connotations. I didn't know.
Speaker 1: Rhode Island's full name is the State of Rhode Island
Speaker 1: and Providence Plantations. So right now they're going to change
Speaker 1: the name to just Rhode Island instead of all that.
Speaker 1: I never heard anybody call it that, but makes sense, right,
Speaker 1: all right now. Eight corrections officers at the Ramsay County,
Speaker 1: Minnesota jail where Derek Chauvin is being held in Minneapolis
Speaker 1: said they were briefly barred from the floor where he
Speaker 1: was being held the day that he was booked into
Speaker 1: the jail because they're black, according to the discrimination charges
Speaker 1: that have been filed with the Minnesota Department of Human Rights.
Speaker 1: So they said when Chavin was charged with murder in
Speaker 1: the death of George Floyd, they were told to report
Speaker 1: to the third floor of the jail. They said that
Speaker 1: the facilities employees of color were all on that floor.
Speaker 1: They had all been segregated from the fifth floor, which
Speaker 1: is where Chavin was to be held. So they said
Speaker 1: they believed that those action towards discriminatory because they openly
Speaker 1: singled out and segregated officers of color because of their
Speaker 1: skin color. Now, according to the jail official, what he's
Speaker 1: saying is that he said, recognizing that the murder of
Speaker 1: George Floyd was likely to create particularly acute racialized trauma,
Speaker 1: I felt I had an immediate duty to protect and
Speaker 1: support employees who may have been traumatized and may have
Speaker 1: heightened ongoing trauma by having to deal with Shavin. Out
Speaker 1: of care and concern and without the comfort of time,
Speaker 1: I made the decision to limit exposure to employees of
Speaker 1: color to a murder suspect who could potentially aggravate those feelings.
Speaker 1: He said. He reversed that decision within the hour, And
Speaker 1: it doesn't ever happen the other way around them. Right
Speaker 1: when they arrest somebody who's black, they're not like, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're not going to have any white officers. I've never
Speaker 1: heard of that before with them, So I don't see
Speaker 1: why it should happen the other way, And why shouldn't
Speaker 1: they be able to do their job as police officers
Speaker 1: and handle the situation just because of the color of
Speaker 1: their skin. Absolutely yeah. If you know, if you're not
Speaker 1: gonna worry about potential prejud it's our potential bias when
Speaker 1: it comes to you know, people that you arrested are
Speaker 1: black and white officers, and the same energy should be
Speaker 1: applied for the black officers as well. Okay, well, right
Speaker 1: now those officers are seeking compensation. Yeah, the black officers
Speaker 1: have some prejudice and some bias towards the white cop
Speaker 1: Derek shoving. They should okay, they should feel that way.
Speaker 1: Y'all don't have no reason to be prejudice and biased
Speaker 1: towards us other than the color of our skin. All right,
Speaker 1: well I am Angela. Yeah, and that is your front
Speaker 1: page news. All right, thank you. I want to I
Speaker 1: want to salute Kentucky too. Man. They got primary elections today,
Speaker 1: Senate primary elections. We all know that less than a
Speaker 1: few less than uh, they have less than two hundred
Speaker 1: polling places to vote because Mitch McConnell, the state senator,
Speaker 1: has repeatedly refused to vote on bills to improve access
Speaker 1: to the ballot. So, you know, everyone exercising their right
Speaker 1: to vote, be patient today. Thug it out, Andy and all,
Speaker 1: and always remember if voting didn't matter, then you know,
Speaker 1: why do they why do they go so hard to
Speaker 1: make it difficult for us to vote? Do it? Thug
Speaker 1: it out and stuck it out in Kentucky today, even
Speaker 1: though they cut the polling places from thirty seven hundred
Speaker 1: to two hundred and one polling place for the state's
Speaker 1: two biggest cities, Louisville and Lexington. Thug it out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that line gonna be long, but like you said, thug
Speaker 1: it out. Man. Please, if you can't bring extra water,
Speaker 1: please stug it out. All right? When we come back,
Speaker 1: comedian John Stewart will be joining us. Of course. He
Speaker 1: has a new movie coming out called Irresistible, and we'll
Speaker 1: talk to him about that very good film. And I'm
Speaker 1: glad I watched it before I saw the reviews for
Speaker 1: it because I enjoyed it. Okay, all right, well, we'll
Speaker 1: kick it with him when we come back to the movies.
Speaker 1: To Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club forty. Everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the
Speaker 1: line right now on the zoom we have John Stewart. Welcome. Yeah, Hey,
Speaker 1: what's up, guys? Thanks going. What's happening? Hey, thank you
Speaker 1: for coming. First of all, I want to I really
Speaker 1: enjoyed Irresistible, man, really enjoyed. Thank you. Now breakdown what
Speaker 1: Irresistible is about. How it's about a young boy who's
Speaker 1: left alone over Christmas by his family. Thank you, John.
Speaker 1: That would It's a movie about the current political system
Speaker 1: and the gravitational pull that it exerts, and how far
Speaker 1: away it's drifted from the problems and the facts on
Speaker 1: the ground of the real people that it's purporting to serve.
Speaker 1: And hopefully it's funny and uh and people have a
Speaker 1: good time watching, you know, right out of the gate.
Speaker 1: Not to give too much away, but you know, these
Speaker 1: political strategists, they admit their lying to us, yet the
Speaker 1: American public still listens. Why. I think ultimately what they've
Speaker 1: learned is noise is an effective strategy to blunt any
Speaker 1: change of the status quo. And one of the best
Speaker 1: kind of noisemakers is to flood the zone with non
Speaker 1: fact and lies and spin to make it much more
Speaker 1: difficult for people to be able to discern what's real
Speaker 1: and what's not. Because here's the other thing. We're busy
Speaker 1: and they count on that it's sort of like you
Speaker 1: ever look at your credit card statement and they send
Speaker 1: you that pamphlet that explains to you, like the rules.
Speaker 1: You cannot figure out what it is they're trying to
Speaker 1: tell you about your credit card rate, And it's done
Speaker 1: on purpose. They don't want you to know the ins
Speaker 1: and outs. They don't because that means you'll hold them accountable.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a scene in the movie when I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna give it away, but Colonel Jack is basically
Speaker 1: saying that money is the problem in regards the politics.
Speaker 1: How can that system that will be dismantled? So I
Speaker 1: think that's what we've tried. You know, there was McCain,
Speaker 1: Fondal and campaign campaign finance reforms. But I think it's
Speaker 1: always nibbling at maybe the edge of it, you know,
Speaker 1: because when you have money in a system, I think
Speaker 1: we all know that system is going to protect itself.
Speaker 1: Systems don't generally dismantle their own profit. So what happens
Speaker 1: is elections now become permanent, and so you've got billions
Speaker 1: and billions of dollars flowing into this thing, and everybody
Speaker 1: in that system is getting a case. But there out
Speaker 1: the other day, Joe Biden raised eighty million dollars. I
Speaker 1: think Trump raised seventy eight million dollars in a month.
Speaker 1: And that's not even the half of the kind of
Speaker 1: money that's flowing through this thing. And by the way,
Speaker 1: that's the least of the money. The real money is
Speaker 1: the dark money that's flowing in from corporations and billionaires
Speaker 1: to influence that system. Also, in the movie, you show
Speaker 1: how Democrats don't know how to talk the regular everyday people.
Speaker 1: Why can't Democrats get their messaging right? So the Publican
Speaker 1: Party has an advantage in that they're more homogeneous. They're
Speaker 1: just talking to one group. The Democrat Democratic Party is
Speaker 1: really a coalition of interest. And you'll see no matter
Speaker 1: where you go, you've got people. You've got DOCTA standing
Speaker 1: next to BLM, standing next to Free Palestine, standing next
Speaker 1: to Behalf, standing next to five guys going legalized park
Speaker 1: like it's a mishmash. And so there is no real
Speaker 1: singular common language for the Democratic Party to speak to
Speaker 1: each other, and certainly not to reach across and speak
Speaker 1: to you know, a Republican party that's become really entrenched
Speaker 1: in that identity. Yeah, Republicans will go for their candidate
Speaker 1: no matter what, whether they agree with them disagree with them.
Speaker 1: And I feel like with Democrats, we do such a
Speaker 1: great job of being really divided amongst each other that
Speaker 1: we kind of like tear each other down so much
Speaker 1: that by the time it's time for an election. And
Speaker 1: we've seen that happen obviously with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.
Speaker 1: With the Republicans, whoever their candidate is, it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: they are behind them, Nie, they'll switch what they think
Speaker 1: depending on what they're leading or tells them. There's no
Speaker 1: there's no principle behind it anymore. If you look at
Speaker 1: the criticisms that were leveled at Barack Obama by the
Speaker 1: Republicans for eight years, well, Donald Trump by almost every metric,
Speaker 1: has performed worse according to their own criticism. So what
Speaker 1: they do is they change the metric. So what they
Speaker 1: told you they believed in eight years ago, they've shown
Speaker 1: you they don't believe in now. Well, what do you
Speaker 1: anticipate happening in November? Man? I you know, I would
Speaker 1: say the focus for the left should simply be protecting
Speaker 1: the vote we can. You're gonna see four voting boots
Speaker 1: for eight hundred thousand people like protect the ability to vote.
Speaker 1: They couldn't. They couldn't do that in twenty sixteen, though,
Speaker 1: Like they can't get an election security bill path because
Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, we know its voted suppression. Not to mention
Speaker 1: voter depression just because people aren't enthused by Joe Biden.
Speaker 1: It's like it's gonna be bad. The hardest thing for
Speaker 1: someone like in your position to do is maintain your
Speaker 1: optimism and enthusiasm because they're trying to wear you down.
Speaker 1: You guys are are drivers of enthusiasm and interest. Keep
Speaker 1: deconstructing the nonsense. What the problem I have? Sometimes with Democrats,
Speaker 1: they'll say, we need the largest voter turnout in US
Speaker 1: history to win this November, but we can't tell people
Speaker 1: all the things they are up against because they may
Speaker 1: not come out in November. And in the movie, Colonel
Speaker 1: Jack has a lie where he says, you can't win
Speaker 1: a battle if you're not honest about what you're up against.
Speaker 1: If DEM's told the American people the truth, we may
Speaker 1: be energized to come out in November. Let people know,
Speaker 1: yes there's Russian interference, Yes there's voted suppression, Yes there's
Speaker 1: voted depression people are they're gonna try to steale this
Speaker 1: election from you, but we need y'all to come out
Speaker 1: in droves in order to beat that. Tell the truth
Speaker 1: completely agree. And part of what I was trying to
Speaker 1: show in the movie is that again there's rot in
Speaker 1: the infrastructure of those systems. You'll see here's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: You're gonna see Joe Biden have to go out and
Speaker 1: talk to YouTube influencers, and he's gonna do it without
Speaker 1: wearing a tie because you know, young people, if you're
Speaker 1: wearing a tie, they don't know you know, you already
Speaker 1: kicks up. It's the one thing what I really you know,
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden, what Biden wasn't my guy? Perfectly honest?
Speaker 1: How much more in the Biden Warren Camper, h Sanders
Speaker 1: Warren Camper. But he's my guy now because I do
Speaker 1: think it's not just about anybody but Trump in this moment,
Speaker 1: we are a nation in anguish and anger and fear.
Speaker 1: And here's my hope about Biden. This is a man
Speaker 1: who knows loss. He has suffered, his wife, a young child, son.
Speaker 1: My hope is that loss has humbled him to the
Speaker 1: idea of what it feels like to be an anguished people.
Speaker 1: I feel like we need a leader in this moment
Speaker 1: of humility who is looking to understand their own ignorance
Speaker 1: and blind spots and do better and be humble enough
Speaker 1: to know what they don't know, and to be humbled
Speaker 1: enough by grief to know the pain that people carry
Speaker 1: with them every day. All right, we got more with
Speaker 1: John Stewart when we come back, don't move. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Commoney Morning, everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we all the Breakfast Club was still kicking
Speaker 1: in with John Stewart. Charlomagne's autold Rolling Stone Magazine. That
Speaker 1: you believe the issue with situations like George Floyd's death
Speaker 1: is that we're addressing the wrong problem. Is that what
Speaker 1: you mean is that we should be addressing whites of
Speaker 1: emacy and systemic racism. That what you meant we should
Speaker 1: be addressing equity? Okay. In the Great Depression, we formed
Speaker 1: the Federal Housing Administration, and it specifically wrote into federal
Speaker 1: guidelines for housing that black people couldn't get loans to
Speaker 1: buy their houses. The wealth of this country has been
Speaker 1: built on equity, and then there was redlining, and then
Speaker 1: there were zoning changes. This is not happenstand, and you
Speaker 1: can't build a ghetto and then suddenly decide, Okay, that's
Speaker 1: not here anymore, but we are going to police the
Speaker 1: edge of it, and we're never going to tear it
Speaker 1: down because when you quarantine people, you cut off the
Speaker 1: economic tributaries that exist to feed that area. What you
Speaker 1: have to do to face this, and maybe this plays
Speaker 1: into what reparations could be, which is call it project equity,
Speaker 1: a martial plan to build black ownership, because you can't
Speaker 1: negotiate equality from a subserve in position. So our generational
Speaker 1: challenge is to help build black equities. I just want
Speaker 1: to hear from from you guys what you think are
Speaker 1: the remedies beyond police and things like God No, the
Speaker 1: only way America can atone for its original sin, which
Speaker 1: is slavery, is through legislation and most importantly, reparations. So
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. There has to be some
Speaker 1: type of economic equity package that is, you know, presented
Speaker 1: to the black community like it's really it's really just
Speaker 1: that simple. Yeah. I think education is really important in
Speaker 1: making sure if our kids that they have something to
Speaker 1: do when they're not in school, but making sure that
Speaker 1: it's equal. Like just some people don't want to send
Speaker 1: their kids to school in certain districts and the school
Speaker 1: system is not good there. They don't have the right books,
Speaker 1: the right tools, the right teachers. Even we have to
Speaker 1: make sure that we fix up neighborhoods that people living
Speaker 1: in that they have access to things that people in
Speaker 1: other neighborhoods have access to. If there is a domestic
Speaker 1: dispute that I agree that police shouldn't be called into
Speaker 1: a situation like that. I do think that something that
Speaker 1: a mediator or someone that is specialized to deal with
Speaker 1: something like that, And I know we've said that also
Speaker 1: about people who suffer from mental health issues, addiction issues,
Speaker 1: things like that. I think certain cases, we don't need
Speaker 1: somebody with a gun to show up that may not
Speaker 1: necessarily know how to de escalate or handle that situation.
Speaker 1: So I think there's a lot of things that are necessary,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of things that we need in
Speaker 1: order for us to start achieving some of that some
Speaker 1: of that equity. Like you said, think what she said
Speaker 1: is the most important is knowledge, right, you look at
Speaker 1: for myself. I'm the first person in my family to
Speaker 1: graduate from college, the first person in my family to
Speaker 1: be an entrepreneur. Not because my parents didn't is because
Speaker 1: they didn't know how to. You know, we're trying to
Speaker 1: get equality, and most white people have equity. You know,
Speaker 1: we're just trying to figure out how to get equity.
Speaker 1: You know, we still have to face the fact that
Speaker 1: the banks won't lend us money. We still have to
Speaker 1: face the fact that, you know, they push us out
Speaker 1: our communities, buy our communities, then put our communities back together,
Speaker 1: and then charge us three times the rent. John America
Speaker 1: still have to give us what they oh, call you
Speaker 1: white friends and tell them that reparations is all to
Speaker 1: the black community. And how would you like to see
Speaker 1: that Who do we make the check out to, first
Speaker 1: of all? And how would you like to see that done?
Speaker 1: Because that's really so here's part of the issue. Right,
Speaker 1: We're still in a position that you've got to sell
Speaker 1: that to the white community. So you've got two problems.
Speaker 1: Run the large portion of white people who think black
Speaker 1: people are responsible for that that it's that that poverty
Speaker 1: and crime is of poor virtue and culture. By the way,
Speaker 1: wouldn't talk about white poverty that way. If you listen
Speaker 1: to them talk about the rust belt poverty, the factory workers, well,
Speaker 1: those they're victims of circumstance. Black people come on suck
Speaker 1: it up. So that's one perception that has to be changed.
Speaker 1: The second is resource guarding. So another large portion might think, well,
Speaker 1: my life's not that easy, and why do I always
Speaker 1: have to give up my resources to go to people
Speaker 1: when I didn't do anything wrong? So how do we
Speaker 1: bridge that gap? And I think the answer is, Look,
Speaker 1: we're stuck in this trickle down theory of economics where
Speaker 1: one point five car tax go to people at the top,
Speaker 1: and we've tried it since the eighties and it doesn't work.
Speaker 1: The job generationally for us is a marshal plan at
Speaker 1: that scale of building infrastructure, of creating you will change
Speaker 1: welfare and fluss by bringing money back to the dignity
Speaker 1: of work, taking it away from the investor class. The
Speaker 1: pendulum is swung to fall, and I think that black
Speaker 1: people have to be in charge of their rebuilding effort.
Speaker 1: It can't be the white people in the government step
Speaker 1: out and say, okay, we're going to give you an
Speaker 1: opportunity zone. This isn't about an opportunity zone. This is
Speaker 1: about black people building equity for themselves and for each
Speaker 1: other and being funded by an infrastructure in investment. And
Speaker 1: you could take hundreds of billions of dollars in funding
Speaker 1: and technical support and turn around, you know, one hundred
Speaker 1: of the country's most disadvantaged communities like you can focus on,
Speaker 1: you know, disparities in early childhood schools, higher education, skills
Speaker 1: and training, employment, health and environmental conditions that you could
Speaker 1: literally turn the hood around tomorrow and ownership. And then
Speaker 1: what I would say is to make sure that in
Speaker 1: those infrastructure investments that middle class white people are also
Speaker 1: reassured that these replarations aren't being taken from you, that
Speaker 1: it's an investment in rising up and creating a much
Speaker 1: stronger middle class throughout the country. But also making sure
Speaker 1: that they're reassured that resources will also be available for them.
Speaker 1: It seems so crazy when there's problems, right and they say, okay,
Speaker 1: well we're going to cut a tree in dollar check
Speaker 1: to bring the economy back. And then we look at
Speaker 1: all our communities and said, you could have cut these
Speaker 1: checks file communities years ago if it was that easy
Speaker 1: to make the money that's right, and that's what three trillion,
Speaker 1: four trillion dollars in this pandemic and we don't even
Speaker 1: know where it went right the exactly. You know what
Speaker 1: else you can do? You can you can you can
Speaker 1: increase access to capital um both debt and equity by
Speaker 1: supporting black owned banks, you know, because those black owned
Speaker 1: banks are going to make sure that, you know, people
Speaker 1: get your money for entrepreneurs, are school owners, education, your homeownersaire,
Speaker 1: all that. And I definitely feel like the marijuana business
Speaker 1: has to come back into the communities since so many
Speaker 1: people were sent to jail for marijuana convictions and lost
Speaker 1: so much. I think all the money they're they're making
Speaker 1: for marijuana and they're going to make a percentage of
Speaker 1: that has to go towards these programs as well. And
Speaker 1: that's another great point answer because look, man, I truly
Speaker 1: believe in power black I'd be in jail because when
Speaker 1: I was growing up, I pulled, but it would do
Speaker 1: I was given a past. It was drugs and alcohol
Speaker 1: and Shenanigan's vandalism. If you're trying to tell me that
Speaker 1: black kids in this country do more drugs and white kids, no,
Speaker 1: but white kids don't go to jail for it, right,
Speaker 1: because it's just the part of being a kid. Right,
Speaker 1: So we've criminalized being a teenager. So let's say we
Speaker 1: did do something like that. Play it out. Who runs it?
Speaker 1: Somebody like Obama, somebody like like you need a point
Speaker 1: person of Robert Smith, Ye, Robert Smith riches African American
Speaker 1: in America. Why not start making this a concrete proposition
Speaker 1: and start putting names and numbers and things to it
Speaker 1: and realize that in a way that we haven't been
Speaker 1: able to do before. All right, we got more with
Speaker 1: John Stewart when we come back, don't move? Is the
Speaker 1: breakfast Club good morning ej Envy Angela Yee. Chalomagne, the
Speaker 1: guy we all the breakfast Club was still kicking in
Speaker 1: with John Stewart. Chalomagne. You know that's an interesting as
Speaker 1: you say that, because I mean, you've got legislation passed
Speaker 1: and you got people paid with eleven billful of first
Speaker 1: respond is how difficult was the incredibly difficult and the
Speaker 1: strangest thing was it was most difficult to convince those
Speaker 1: that supposedly represent patriotism in this country the most. It
Speaker 1: was Republican leaders who never fail on nine to eleven
Speaker 1: to tweet out, don't forget our heroes. But when you
Speaker 1: go to their office and go and man, I'm here
Speaker 1: with the heroes and three of them have staged four
Speaker 1: cancer and this guy's on an oxygen machine. So what
Speaker 1: about that? That's the New York problem. Well, you can't
Speaker 1: really prove that it came from that. So the government
Speaker 1: is set up to deny, to continue the status quo
Speaker 1: so that the money flows to the people that they
Speaker 1: believe helped entrench them in their positions. And that's where
Speaker 1: it has to change. What it's going to take is
Speaker 1: tremendous will, but almost more importantly, tremendous stamina. It also
Speaker 1: takes you white men like you, who have privilege and
Speaker 1: power to admit that white supremacy exists, to admit that
Speaker 1: systemic racism exists. I do feel like what's hard about
Speaker 1: that for people is you get defensis. Nobody likes to
Speaker 1: be called on their especially when they feel like it's
Speaker 1: not really there. Look when I started on The Daily Show,
Speaker 1: right pretty much an all white staff, mostly male, and
Speaker 1: people would call me out on various about it, and
Speaker 1: I would get defensive until I had to stop and
Speaker 1: think about it. You know, there was an article written
Speaker 1: there weren't enough women writers, and I was sexist, and
Speaker 1: I was like sexist. I was raised by a single mother.
Speaker 1: My mother wore a T shirt that says a woman
Speaker 1: needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle, and
Speaker 1: I'm a man. I drew up in the house where
Speaker 1: I knew I wasn't and I've never gone back into
Speaker 1: the writer's room and saying, you believe they Kevin Steve
Speaker 1: like Bob. Now, we had had a policy that all
Speaker 1: submissions there'd be no names on it, right, because we
Speaker 1: thought that's the way to not be sexist or racist things.
Speaker 1: But we still kept just hiring white dudes. And what
Speaker 1: we realized is the river that we were getting the
Speaker 1: material from, the tributary was also polluted by the same inertia.
Speaker 1: And you had to say to them, send me women,
Speaker 1: send me black people, And all of a sudden women
Speaker 1: got funny. But they've been funny all along. We had
Speaker 1: a writer of color. He and I got an argument.
Speaker 1: I did a bit about Herman Kinge where I adopted
Speaker 1: Herman Kane's accent, right, and to me is just his accent,
Speaker 1: but to that writer is a racist bit. And he
Speaker 1: called me out in a meeting with everybody around, and
Speaker 1: I got defensive and got mad, and it took me
Speaker 1: a long time to realize that the real issue was
Speaker 1: that we hired a person who is black and that
Speaker 1: because then they felt like they're carrying the weight of representation.
Speaker 1: So they suddenly feel like I've got to be the
Speaker 1: speaker of a rick and that puts a pressure on them.
Speaker 1: That so we think we're doing the right thing, but
Speaker 1: we're not doing it in the right way. And those
Speaker 1: were hard lessons for me, and they were humbling lessons.
Speaker 1: Here's another one, socioeconomic. The television business, the radio business.
Speaker 1: It's run by people from Westchester and Long Island, right,
Speaker 1: because the internships weren't paid, so interns would come in.
Speaker 1: And if you're going to hire somebody, where are you
Speaker 1: going to hire them from the people you've met already?
Speaker 1: The intern The only people who could do internships had
Speaker 1: parents that were rich enough that could allow those kids
Speaker 1: to take a little time off of college, live in
Speaker 1: New York City and do that job. So the whole
Speaker 1: thing is needed with inertia. And I don't consider myself malevolent,
Speaker 1: but my ignorance of that dynamic had real consequences. But
Speaker 1: she was willing to learn, though I honestly think that
Speaker 1: most people are willing to learn. It's getting over the
Speaker 1: defensiveness to realize you're not being called racist or like
Speaker 1: or maybe you are or not giving so much of
Speaker 1: a ship that somebody might call you that, and be
Speaker 1: willing to say, like, we all have blind spots, and
Speaker 1: we still have blind spots. I know I do. But
Speaker 1: for us to dismantle the entrenched tributaries that continue to
Speaker 1: contribute to any quality of outcome of equity, it takes effort. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all got to be intentional. Men got to be
Speaker 1: intentional when it comes to women. White people got to
Speaker 1: be intentional when it comes to black people's great people
Speaker 1: got to be intentional when it comes to gay people.
Speaker 1: We got to be intentional about it. I think that's
Speaker 1: the perfect encapsulation of it. I got a couple more
Speaker 1: questions about the Daily Show. You. I saw what you said.
Speaker 1: You regret the Daily Show's involvement in the evasporation, expectation, inviseration,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, inviseration. Sometimes we'd have someone on, like like
Speaker 1: Jim Cramer or something like that. It's what they would
Speaker 1: call good television, so that blows up on the on
Speaker 1: the internet or whatever. I don't regret that moment, but
Speaker 1: what I regret is sometimes you get in the mindset
Speaker 1: of creating those moments, those moments that weren't authentic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like you're it's like you're your people pleasing too much.
Speaker 1: Like instead of going in there and doing what's natural,
Speaker 1: you want to do what you just saw work. So
Speaker 1: you want to do that again. Yeah, that happens. It
Speaker 1: happens to Radio two. And then the second thing I
Speaker 1: think that's important to do, and this is the hardest one,
Speaker 1: is to give yourself. Right. For giving yourself is the
Speaker 1: key to getting over your own defensiveness and imperfections, like
Speaker 1: I had to learn and to forgive myself for being
Speaker 1: wrong in situations and that hurting people and not wanting them.
Speaker 1: But we have to be able to start having the
Speaker 1: honest conversations because it's like everything else. You don't fix
Speaker 1: something if you don't get to what's really the cancer
Speaker 1: at the bottom of it. For a period of time,
Speaker 1: people that you were going to come back. Are you
Speaker 1: enjoying this behind the scenes more though? Law? You know,
Speaker 1: look at this face. This face was young man. I'm
Speaker 1: aging like a guacamole president President of America. I feel
Speaker 1: like I took that conversation as far as I could
Speaker 1: take it for my own thing, and that show deserved
Speaker 1: and that audience deserved somebody who was going to bring
Speaker 1: a different perspective and an enthusiasm and an insight that
Speaker 1: I can't bring. And I think we've seen that play out.
Speaker 1: You know, to me, diversity is still technology, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like an old person when they
Speaker 1: get a smartphone. It's new and I can work it,
Speaker 1: but it's not my kids when they get on the phone.
Speaker 1: It just is Trevor in this moment, just is yeah,
Speaker 1: and I still have to work. And I don't say
Speaker 1: that in the way of like white guilt. I don't
Speaker 1: mean it like that. I mean I didn't see the
Speaker 1: whole field, and by not seeing the whole field well enough,
Speaker 1: I wasn't able to make the kinds of changes that
Speaker 1: I should have made at the speed and depths I
Speaker 1: should have made them. Wow, we're always not going to
Speaker 1: get it right, you know. And that's what therapy is for.
Speaker 1: That's exactly what it's for. Appreciate it. You have to
Speaker 1: tell us why the title is irresistible. Why is that
Speaker 1: relevant to the plot of the film, Because sometimes you
Speaker 1: can trap somebody with date, with lure that you know
Speaker 1: would be irresistible to them, that when you see how
Speaker 1: somebody views the world through that prism of conflict and
Speaker 1: left versus right and rural versus city, you can lay
Speaker 1: out something for them date that you know they're gonna take.
Speaker 1: We would take debate every time. Holy don't just hit me.
Speaker 1: Did that goddamn pastry represent that in the movie? Boom, Okay,
Speaker 1: got you, got you, got you, got you, got you,
Speaker 1: got you, got you. I'm getting fat, got you, got you,
Speaker 1: got you got you And even when he now, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna give it away. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Brilliant movie,
Speaker 1: John Stewart, brilliant movie. Man. Thank you for calling in
Speaker 1: and checking in and you know, stay up with us sometimes,
Speaker 1: you know. Absolutely, guys, thank you so much for the conversation.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate it. Appreciate it. All right, it's John Stewart.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. I think everybody is
Speaker 1: ch Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Eminem
Speaker 1: about report. This is the rumor report Angela Ye fun
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Yes, so an old version of a
Speaker 1: song Conway the Machines Bang from twenty nineteen has leaked
Speaker 1: out and it has Eminem's original feature and he's going
Speaker 1: in on Revolt and Joe Button. He jes had out
Speaker 1: Puffy Combs. Listen to this. Shut the puffy calls, but
Speaker 1: fu revote. Y'all are like a funk up remote. Now
Speaker 1: I get it while buttons broke because you press them.
Speaker 1: But he don't do nothing, No, especially when it comes
Speaker 1: to Punch's throwing smoke. So the brunning roll. Take another
Speaker 1: boss that is clipping in al because all you're gonna
Speaker 1: get is an al smoke coming approach. So we don't
Speaker 1: got nothing in common, not even though he's got cold
Speaker 1: and he's an issue with it comes to blows. We
Speaker 1: used to teach each other's journal. Let's kick to the stuff.
Speaker 1: He knows. It's like always learning me goes all right, Well,
Speaker 1: there's no secret that Eminem is not a big fan
Speaker 1: of Joe Button. Yeah, well, I revolte catches Tree. I
Speaker 1: think because state of the Coaches. I'm revolte see state,
Speaker 1: say stated the coaching say a black owned the whole
Speaker 1: TV network just because you're mad at what personality. It's
Speaker 1: a bad time people saying. People don't say F Power
Speaker 1: one oh five or after breakfast Club, they might say
Speaker 1: F Charlemagne. They do say after breakfast club. Yeah, they do,
Speaker 1: because you'll be doing y'all y'all be y'all be owning
Speaker 1: y'all own smoke. Though y'all y'all gone y'all own smokes.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they're saying bad things that we had nothing, Like
Speaker 1: if I'm not even here for a day, they'll be like,
Speaker 1: F the Breakfast Club. I'm like, I wasn't even there.
Speaker 1: I'll take it. Yeah, I mean it is what it
Speaker 1: is that he gave it to the whole network because
Speaker 1: he doesn't like Joe Button Ma. I mean that means
Speaker 1: Effre me ma after Breakfast Club and K Williams F
Speaker 1: no Orion drink Champs. Did he so F vote is
Speaker 1: the staff record label and mother Effre crew And you
Speaker 1: gotta think, yeah, wash a little button, GETU the skin
Speaker 1: like that so much? Though, um, I guess probably because
Speaker 1: the record he was signed. Yeah, it's old, but I
Speaker 1: think it's you know, because of what Joe Button said
Speaker 1: about him, and he probably feels like I thought it
Speaker 1: was cool. I you know, he was signed to the label,
Speaker 1: and he probably feels like he was betrayed. All right,
Speaker 1: Little Yadi crashed his Ferrari on a freeway in Atlanta
Speaker 1: after hydroplaning. How scary is that? So they said it.
Speaker 1: Fortunately he was able to walk away with just minor
Speaker 1: injuries to his arm and that's it. So that's the
Speaker 1: most important thing. We're not sure what's gonna happen with
Speaker 1: that Ferrari, but they're saying it's totaled. Yeah, it's totals eight.
Speaker 1: Spider ferraris about I would say, knew about three hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty thousand dollars. But he has his life. That's
Speaker 1: the only thing that matters. He has his life. He
Speaker 1: walked away alive, thank god. That's right, all right, all right.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel has announced that he is going on vacation,
Speaker 1: and that is after a lot of controversies has been happening,
Speaker 1: like this blackface sketch that resurfaced where he's playing kar
Speaker 1: Malone on comedy centrals. The Man's Show. Listen to this
Speaker 1: sometime a night call old look up in sky and
Speaker 1: say what the hell going on up there? UFO Live
Speaker 1: on other planet, folding hole like et Kamalo Rido TV
Speaker 1: about white people getting deducted by alien sticking all kind
Speaker 1: of hell up big and that's a damn thing. Now.
Speaker 1: In addition to that, they've been circulating this clip of
Speaker 1: an interview that he did back in two thousand and
Speaker 1: nine with Megan Fox, where she was recalling an experience
Speaker 1: with director Michael Bay from when she was a teenager
Speaker 1: and she was working as an extra on Bad Boys Too.
Speaker 1: She said, she was only fifteen years old, and here's
Speaker 1: what happened. I had just turned fifteen, and I was
Speaker 1: an extra and Bad Boys Too, really and yeah, they
Speaker 1: were shooting this club scene and they brought me in
Speaker 1: and I was wearing a stars and striped bikini and
Speaker 1: a red cowboy hat and like six and sheels and
Speaker 1: he approved it and they said, you know, Michael, she's fifteen,
Speaker 1: so you can't sit her at the bar and she
Speaker 1: can't have a drink in her hand. So his solution
Speaker 1: to that was to then have me dancing underneath the waterfall,
Speaker 1: getting soaking wet. That's sort of a microcosm of how
Speaker 1: Bay's mind work. Yeah, well, yeah, well that's really a
Speaker 1: microcosm of how all our minds works. But some of
Speaker 1: us have the decency to repress those facts and pretend
Speaker 1: that they don't exist. Yeah, Jimmy, that shouldn't have been
Speaker 1: a week. That should have been some men's thoughts. But
Speaker 1: if you felt that way, you know, he said it
Speaker 1: honest dead wrong, But honest, we really need to have
Speaker 1: a broader discussion about all of this, because everybody has
Speaker 1: the right to be offended. Everybody had the right to
Speaker 1: be upset. But I have an issue with retroactive outrage,
Speaker 1: retroactive punishments for things that were already public, because if
Speaker 1: it was public, that means it was appropriate at the time.
Speaker 1: The context of time matters, because the eighties and nineties
Speaker 1: and early two thousands was a wild ass, feel fory
Speaker 1: ass time. If you sit at home and watch some
Speaker 1: of those old movies, TV shows, listen to old music,
Speaker 1: you will absolutely say, how the hell did we get
Speaker 1: away with some of this stuff? And if you didn't
Speaker 1: grow up in that era, and when you look back
Speaker 1: and taking some of that content, yeah, you're probably gonna
Speaker 1: be a Paul. I'm sure you will. Be, but it
Speaker 1: was a different from a world back then. When I say,
Speaker 1: we are in a whole new world from where we
Speaker 1: were as far as censorship and pushing things to the edge,
Speaker 1: we are in a whole new world. I think people want.
Speaker 1: Tommy came out to address it, though, like Jimmy Fallon
Speaker 1: addressed his black face sketch that he did of Chris
Speaker 1: Rock and said he made a terrible decision and he
Speaker 1: was sorry for making that offensive decision at the time,
Speaker 1: and he said, thank you all of you for holding
Speaker 1: me accountable. So the only problem a problem with that
Speaker 1: is is you know, these people are what were hurt
Speaker 1: by it, and even though that that they were hurt
Speaker 1: by it back then, maybe they didn't get the apology
Speaker 1: that they wanted back then. So now that it comes
Speaker 1: back out now, they could be getting the apology that
Speaker 1: they need it back then, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: It's okay to acknowledge and behavior. Yo. Some of these
Speaker 1: people probably weren't even born back then. And if you're
Speaker 1: gonna I also think if they're gonna do those retroactive punishments,
Speaker 1: you gotta punish everyone involved, not just the individual. You
Speaker 1: gotta punish the producers, the writers, the standards and practices,
Speaker 1: anybody that green lit those things. But I don't think
Speaker 1: it should be punishments. It should be a conversation about conversation, right,
Speaker 1: how coaches shifted and yes, you're right, he should acknowledge
Speaker 1: that that was wrong, right, and how that shouldn't continue
Speaker 1: moving forward. But we need to have a conversation about
Speaker 1: context and how culture shifted, because boy, when they start
Speaker 1: digging into the eighties, nineties and early two thousands, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of apologies. Well, I don't
Speaker 1: think Jimmy Kimmel's not being punished. He's taking a break
Speaker 1: from the show. And here's what he had to say
Speaker 1: about taking a break. Tonight is my last new show
Speaker 1: for the summer. I'm taking the summer off to spend
Speaker 1: even more time with my family. I've been doing this
Speaker 1: job for almost eighteen years. I've done three thousand, one
Speaker 1: hundred thirty shows, and there's nothing wrong. My family is healthy,
Speaker 1: I'm healthy. I just need a couple of months off, right.
Speaker 1: So he's decided to take a break just to be
Speaker 1: with family. He said he needs a couple of months off,
Speaker 1: and all these things have been surfacing, So that's what
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, it's not like he's got punished
Speaker 1: or lost his job, right, Yeah, I still think it
Speaker 1: needs to be a broader conversation, not just with Kimmel,
Speaker 1: but just the whole context of the eighties, nineties, in
Speaker 1: early two thousands, it was a totally different world because
Speaker 1: you see what happened to Jimmy Fowling, You see what
Speaker 1: happened to Howard Stern. You see what happens you know, well,
Speaker 1: we haven't seen it happen in hip hop yet as
Speaker 1: far as like the content of that music. But I mean,
Speaker 1: if you think about the movies, the TV shows, like,
Speaker 1: it's just we should have a context about how culture
Speaker 1: is shifted. But you know what the thing is when
Speaker 1: it does affect people like Megan Fox was trending yesterday, right,
Speaker 1: and if you know the full story of what happened
Speaker 1: to her, she basically kind of got black ball from
Speaker 1: the business because Michael Bay was saying that she's terrible
Speaker 1: to work with. He calls her an unfriendly bitch, he
Speaker 1: said she's a porn star. He called Hi Miss hour
Speaker 1: Pads dumb as a rock, and he said when facing
Speaker 1: the press, Megan is the queen of talking trailer tress
Speaker 1: and posing like a porn star, and yes, we've had
Speaker 1: the unbearable time of watching her try to act on set,
Speaker 1: and yes it's very cringeable. So maybe being a porn
Speaker 1: star in the future might be a good career option.
Speaker 1: But makeup be where she has a paragraph tattooed to
Speaker 1: her backside, probably due to her rotten childhood. Easily another
Speaker 1: forty five minutes in the chair. So that was a
Speaker 1: letter that Michael Bay actually wrote, an open letter. And
Speaker 1: so I think when things like that can affect people's
Speaker 1: career later on in the future. Because Megan Fox is
Speaker 1: traumatized by certain things that happened to her, and she
Speaker 1: even said it on her own social media post, you
Speaker 1: know that there are people that she feels like need
Speaker 1: to be held accountable. Yeah, I don't know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about content, but anyway, I'm Angela Yee and that
Speaker 1: is your rumor report. It was a public letter that
Speaker 1: he wrote about Megan I'm talking. I'm just yeah, but
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about content, and I wasn't talking about
Speaker 1: Megan Fox. I'm talking about the content that people put out.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, who are you giving your donkey too? Bro?
Speaker 1: Four after the hour, we need to have a conversation
Speaker 1: about you know, this disease on this planet that has
Speaker 1: just caused nothing but havoc on this planet since day one,
Speaker 1: and that is old white Man. We'll discuss four after
Speaker 1: the hour. All right, we'll get into that next keeping
Speaker 1: lock this to breakfast club. Good morning, Donkey, Donkey Today
Speaker 1: for Tuesday, June twenty third goes to a Laney College
Speaker 1: professor in Oakland named Matthew Hubbard. Matthew, I don't know you,
Speaker 1: but you made this weird. Okay, you made this awkward.
Speaker 1: I would think that when you are a teacher, professor,
Speaker 1: your job is to make kids comfortable. I don't care
Speaker 1: if it's college or grade school. Kids have insecurities. Everyone
Speaker 1: is trying to do their best, and you should encourage that, okay.
Speaker 1: But instead you are the adult who wants to make
Speaker 1: things awkward okay for kids and magnify whatever in the
Speaker 1: issues these young adults may have. Now, Laney College has
Speaker 1: put Matthew Hubbard on leave because he asked the kid
Speaker 1: to change their name. In fact, he told the student
Speaker 1: anglicize their name. That means to make your name English.
Speaker 1: And the reason Matthew told this student to change their
Speaker 1: name is because Matthew said it sounded like an insult
Speaker 1: in English. In fact, on the second day of class,
Speaker 1: Matthew sent an email to the student asking her verbatim
Speaker 1: to anglicize her name because it sounds like an insult
Speaker 1: in English. Oh the call Cassidy what. A student told
Speaker 1: CNA she was shocked and felt disrespected by the email,
Speaker 1: as she should have been, and that the professor had
Speaker 1: never seen her before or asked her how to pronounce
Speaker 1: her name. The student replied back and told Matthew his
Speaker 1: requests felt discriminatory and warned him she would file a
Speaker 1: complaint if he did not refer to her by her
Speaker 1: birth name. He responded by saying her name an English
Speaker 1: sounds like an insult, and then Matthew replied, if I
Speaker 1: lived in Vietnam and my name in your language sounded
Speaker 1: like Eda Dick Gregory, I would change it to avoid embarrassment.
Speaker 1: He also then repeated his request for her to change
Speaker 1: her name in his reply. Now Laney College President to
Speaker 1: mel Gilkerson said in a statement on Thursday that the
Speaker 1: college was aware of the allegations of racists and zena
Speaker 1: big messages from a faculty member at our college with
Speaker 1: a student about the pronunciation of their name. We take
Speaker 1: these allegations seriously and immediately placed the faculty member on
Speaker 1: administrative leave pending an investigation. Matthew Hubbard told The New
Speaker 1: York Times, the first email was a mistake, and I
Speaker 1: made it thinking about another student willing to anglicize. But
Speaker 1: it is a big difference with someone doing it voluntarily
Speaker 1: and asking and asking someone to do it. The second
Speaker 1: email is very offensive, and if I had waited eight hours,
Speaker 1: I would have written something very different. This is exactly
Speaker 1: why historically we call old white men the devil. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is why nobody likes old white men. Okay, Guys
Speaker 1: like this give every old white man a bad name.
Speaker 1: This is a classic case of whiteness. Okay, old white
Speaker 1: men can't help but to be racist, because when you
Speaker 1: are old white male, you have always benefited from the
Speaker 1: power that comes with privilege. Okay, the patriarchy is in
Speaker 1: your blood. Okay, it's in your blood to get a
Speaker 1: marginal lines person to change their name, because, Matthew, your
Speaker 1: ancestors with slave masters, and a slave name is the
Speaker 1: person to name given by others to an enslaved person.
Speaker 1: Our name inherited from enslaved ancestors, so you just couldn't
Speaker 1: help yourself. You wanted this young woman to change her
Speaker 1: name because you thought it sounded like an insult. Who
Speaker 1: the hell are you, white man? Okay, go trim your
Speaker 1: earheads and leave people to hell alone. Now I know
Speaker 1: you're wondering, what is this young woman's name? Okay? What
Speaker 1: what about this young woman's name? Did this old white
Speaker 1: man find so insulting? I would like to know myself,
Speaker 1: So let's go to ABC seven for the report police
Speaker 1: the Asian American Lady College freshman who was told by
Speaker 1: her professor via email to change her name to sound
Speaker 1: more anglicized. Math professor Matthew Hubbard says in emails to
Speaker 1: the student footboy Dan Winn, that her name sounded like
Speaker 1: the F word and asked her to change it now.
Speaker 1: When she declined, citing discrimination, he refused to use her
Speaker 1: given name. Hubbert declined multiple requests for an interview, but
Speaker 1: tweeted an apology to Win, whose family confirms he sent
Speaker 1: an email to her as well. Hubbert has been placed
Speaker 1: on an administrative leave and Laney College is investigating. I
Speaker 1: don't hear it. What's insulting about her name. Drum isolate
Speaker 1: her name from me. I need to know what I'm
Speaker 1: missing because I don't hear it. Play fuckboy dn win No.
Speaker 1: I just I don't get it. Played played again, fuck
Speaker 1: boy dn win Nope. Matthew Hubbart is just being a
Speaker 1: racist xenophoe who needs to mind his business and ignore
Speaker 1: what his ancestors they're telling him to do. Put her
Speaker 1: name in HD so I can hear it. Maybe I'm
Speaker 1: missing something because I don't hear it. Fuckboy dn win No,
Speaker 1: I don't get it, but I do know that this
Speaker 1: student released a great statement. She says she felt empowered
Speaker 1: not to change her name at his insistence. She says
Speaker 1: she decided to fully embrace it and let everyone know
Speaker 1: that they should be proud of their name. She is
Speaker 1: a proud fuck boy Okay, and I salute her all right,
Speaker 1: she says, through this incident, she has been able to
Speaker 1: raise awareness. So what's happening and it's helped others be
Speaker 1: proud of their culture Okay and identity drop one of
Speaker 1: clues bombs for food boys everywhere? Damn it. Okay. He's
Speaker 1: also still waiting on a sincere and professional apology from
Speaker 1: mister Hubbard, Well, one thing you will learn in life,
Speaker 1: foot boy, is that the white man never gives those Okay,
Speaker 1: we're still waiting on them. My bad about slavery, so
Speaker 1: get in line. In the meantime, please let Kathy Griffin
Speaker 1: give Matthew Hubbard the credit he deserves for being stupid.
Speaker 1: Please give this giant Jarro male the biggest Hea Hall.
Speaker 1: White people are crazy, O God. All right, well, thank
Speaker 1: you for that donkey of the day. Now up next,
Speaker 1: John Legend will be joining us. We'll kick it with
Speaker 1: John Legend when we come back. Don't move. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Pj Envy Angela yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got
Speaker 1: a special guest on the line right now. Just had
Speaker 1: a great Father's day, I should say, in Father's Day Sunday,
Speaker 1: John Legend. Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, good morning, Well,
Speaker 1: how was your How was your father's day? How was that?
Speaker 1: Father's Day? Was good? Christie surprised me. She had a
Speaker 1: catered dinner in the backyard just for me, and she
Speaker 1: cheated me like a king. It was nice. What is
Speaker 1: it like to release an album? In this time in
Speaker 1: these days. Well it's different. You know. We used to
Speaker 1: being out like we used to going out the Loute promotion,
Speaker 1: so everything is different, but we're making it work. Can
Speaker 1: you put out music that doesn't that isn't a soundtrack
Speaker 1: for what's going on right now? Though? Yeah, you know
Speaker 1: I thought about that because I was writing it before
Speaker 1: all this stuff happened. I wrote it mostly in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: I wrote a few joints, like in January and February
Speaker 1: of this year, and then I was done writing, and
Speaker 1: I felt like I had a dope album by you know,
Speaker 1: beginning of March, and and soon as March comes around,
Speaker 1: everybody's on lockdown and the whole world change. So the
Speaker 1: question is do you scrap all of that and try
Speaker 1: to make something that's right in this moment, or do
Speaker 1: you get people what you've made, you know, which is
Speaker 1: what I made. It was an album that's more loving
Speaker 1: and joyful and hopeful. I think it was great marketing
Speaker 1: to actually do the verses on the same day that
Speaker 1: the album came out. It makes perfect sense because yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been clear that every every versus has
Speaker 1: been good for the artists, you know, just to. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of the artists, you know, haven't been making
Speaker 1: a lot of new music, so it brought them back
Speaker 1: to people's attention. And Alicia, we're kind of different because
Speaker 1: we're still making music these days and still making releases
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. But most of my verses I spent,
Speaker 1: you know, educating people on what I had done in
Speaker 1: the past, you know, many years ago. Some of the
Speaker 1: stuff I played was from nineteen ninety nine, two thousand
Speaker 1: and three, you know, just letting people know that I
Speaker 1: was behind the scenes doing my thing. Even before you
Speaker 1: first heard Get Lifted. Yeah, I didn't know that you
Speaker 1: was on Everything Is Everything? Yeah, that was the first
Speaker 1: record I ever played on. How Lauren find Who? How
Speaker 1: did that come about? So there was a girl named
Speaker 1: Tera Michelle. I was directing this church choir while I
Speaker 1: was in college, so part of the way I paid
Speaker 1: for like my experienses in schools, I was the director
Speaker 1: of music at this church and one of the choir
Speaker 1: members was a girl who had gone to school with
Speaker 1: Lauren Hill. And she was like, I'm about to go
Speaker 1: to the studio. She's working on her solo album. Do
Speaker 1: you want to come to the studio with me, and
Speaker 1: so I was this studio with her and just chilling
Speaker 1: literally not trying to get in the way, you know.
Speaker 1: She was like, John, won't you played a couple of
Speaker 1: songs for her because I want her to hear you
Speaker 1: know what you can do. And so I played one
Speaker 1: of my own songs, a song called too Late, and
Speaker 1: then I played a Stevie Wonders song and then she's
Speaker 1: like one of Lauren was like, why don't you play
Speaker 1: on this record we're working on now? So I played
Speaker 1: piano on the record and that was the first major
Speaker 1: recording and a partum. Wow did you do it for free?
Speaker 1: I got five hundred dollars and my name is in
Speaker 1: the credit on a classic album exactly, I was. I
Speaker 1: was very happy with that. That's all I needed. Now,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the versus bat a little bit, because
Speaker 1: obviously you and Alicia Keys have worked together. You guys
Speaker 1: are friends. So how did y'all even decide? Because I
Speaker 1: know you both had been talking about it for quite
Speaker 1: some time and we kind of had a feeling it
Speaker 1: was going to happen. So what solidified that? Well, I
Speaker 1: was doing radio for my new music, and I think
Speaker 1: I was talking to Nick Cannon and he was like, well,
Speaker 1: who would you who would you do a versus me?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I feel like the one that
Speaker 1: would make the most sense will be Alicia Keys And
Speaker 1: I said, in fact, I think we should play it live.
Speaker 1: You know. I was like, you know, do some of
Speaker 1: the songs on the piano, piano to piano. UM. Swizz
Speaker 1: and Alicia saw it, and and uh, Swizz hit me up.
Speaker 1: He called me and then we talked about it, and
Speaker 1: and that was it. I was like, my bad for
Speaker 1: calling your wife out in public, but you know it
Speaker 1: would be good, so let's let's good. And uh, everybody
Speaker 1: was into it. And we knew from the beginning that
Speaker 1: it was all love because we really respect each other,
Speaker 1: and uh, we just wanted it to be a celebration.
Speaker 1: What did y'all say about What did you say about
Speaker 1: Teddy Raley's Wifeire you said something because Teddy Raley was
Speaker 1: like John Legend is old jokes? What did you say
Speaker 1: about Teddy Wholey's wildfire? Y'all gotta leave Teddy Raley alone? Man,
Speaker 1: I just I just when I had a technical moment
Speaker 1: because of the track wasn't playing properly. I don't want
Speaker 1: to do a Teddy Raley here, all of just playing
Speaker 1: with him. You know, I love Teddy and uh he
Speaker 1: had had We had a rough time getting it together
Speaker 1: sometimes for the for the Bird's Battle, but I think
Speaker 1: Swizz and everybody have worked it out so everybody, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's technical aspect of a little more on point now
Speaker 1: and they had a set up so there were no
Speaker 1: major problems. I know it was all love, but who one?
Speaker 1: Who do you think one? Because I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I picked Alicia to watch you. I picked the Leisia
Speaker 1: not because you're not super talented, John, but just Alicia
Speaker 1: got a lot of records. Alicia has a lot of records.
Speaker 1: I think she has more solo hits than I have.
Speaker 1: But I think what I was able to show people
Speaker 1: was I was doing records that they didn't even know
Speaker 1: I was a part of. And I think that's what
Speaker 1: the cool thing about Versus is is you could show
Speaker 1: people behind the scenes work you did as well. And
Speaker 1: so I think, you know, people are gonna judge what
Speaker 1: they were to judge, and so you let the people decide.
Speaker 1: But I thought it was fairly even, and I loved
Speaker 1: our collaborations. I just thought it was a good night
Speaker 1: for music. It was it was dope looking back out there.
Speaker 1: Some songs you're like, man, I missed this one, or
Speaker 1: I should have played this one. Also not really, Honestly,
Speaker 1: I felt like I played the right song. There's like
Speaker 1: one or two that were on the bubble for me
Speaker 1: that I could have played one or the other, but
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like it would have made a big difference.
Speaker 1: I feel like the I picked the right joint. Listen, John,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the new album You Got Bigger Love.
Speaker 1: What does that phrase mean to you? It's uh, well,
Speaker 1: the album is joyful. It is full of love and
Speaker 1: songs about you know, um, resilience and hope and just
Speaker 1: making it work through all the challenges. I was gonna
Speaker 1: ask you with Chrissy, I see y'all play a lot.
Speaker 1: Does it ever go too far? Black Baby? You're going
Speaker 1: too far. You called me, you call me that name,
Speaker 1: and enough is enough. You can't be calling me names
Speaker 1: like that. She calls you, she calls she calls you
Speaker 1: a bitch a lot, John, Gee, she does not call
Speaker 1: me a bit a lot. Talking about when when she
Speaker 1: was when she was mad about the song lyric as
Speaker 1: she she said bitch to me and come on now,
Speaker 1: you can't say it to her though, Let's be clear,
Speaker 1: it's a whole another story. But that that is not
Speaker 1: a that is not a normal part of our conversation,
Speaker 1: not even in the bedroom. If y'all getting spicy, No, no, never,
Speaker 1: like she's never like, yeah, bitch. I was gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the album. I was gonna say, I like how
Speaker 1: you started it off with a nice little throwback to
Speaker 1: duop sounds. I thought that was really sweet, So, well,
Speaker 1: what made you decide to do that? Well, that's all
Speaker 1: Oakfelder produced, And when we talked about he was like,
Speaker 1: we should do a song where duop meets trap, and
Speaker 1: so we got some a oas. We got the duop
Speaker 1: vocals that I Only have Eyes for You sample in first.
Speaker 1: It's just a perfect track to open up the album.
Speaker 1: It's fresh, it feels good, it's sexy, and it's a
Speaker 1: beautiful beginning to the album. All right, we got more
Speaker 1: with John Legend when we come back, Don't Move. It's
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. Good Morning Morning, everybody is DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we all the Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: was still kicking with John legend Charlomagne. You know, in
Speaker 1: early June, John you said your friendship with Kanye West
Speaker 1: has evolved? What what? What? What? What does that mean? Well,
Speaker 1: I was just saying we're in a different place now
Speaker 1: because I'm not I had a five album deal with
Speaker 1: Good Music and that deals. Uh, so we don't have
Speaker 1: a direct business relationship anymore. And then, um, he's up
Speaker 1: in my only most of the time and we're still cool,
Speaker 1: but we just don't see each other that much for
Speaker 1: work or you know, we're not living in the same place. Yeah.
Speaker 1: They was trying to make it about your politics being
Speaker 1: so different. Yeah, and our politics have been different for
Speaker 1: a while now, and that that is what it is.
Speaker 1: As you can tell from my boys. I'm not shy about,
Speaker 1: you know, being proud of the work we did together,
Speaker 1: because we did some great work together. Absolutely, you think
Speaker 1: you could become friends with somebody now who's a Trump supporter,
Speaker 1: Like if you think you would be like real cool
Speaker 1: with somebody who's a huge Trump supporter, Um, I mean
Speaker 1: a new friend. It'd be different to make a new
Speaker 1: friend that somebody like me and Kanye got so much history.
Speaker 1: It's like you don't just get rid of a friendship
Speaker 1: because of but start anew and I don't know have
Speaker 1: y'all ever gotten not from the secret service? Y'all be
Speaker 1: going hard on Twitter sometimes, Well, y'all used to We
Speaker 1: never threatened his life. We never said anything about his
Speaker 1: you know, anything about his life. We just just just
Speaker 1: uh demeans his character because he has no no character. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now your wife has definitely called the president of bitch.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, bitch. When you when your when your five
Speaker 1: album deal was up, I'm sure they made a play
Speaker 1: to resign you, right. No, you know, when you're signed
Speaker 1: to produce your production company at that point in your career,
Speaker 1: you're like, you're just like you're in a different power
Speaker 1: position at that point in your career. And partly due
Speaker 1: to the fact that Kanye helped blow me up, I
Speaker 1: was in a position where I didn't have to sign
Speaker 1: to anybody's production company. I could just do my own deal. Um,
Speaker 1: So you know, there was never any doubts that I
Speaker 1: would just sign my own deal after that five albums
Speaker 1: was up. But like I said, I wouldn't be where
Speaker 1: I am without doing that deal with Kanye. So I'm
Speaker 1: having no regrets. What do you what is your thoughts
Speaker 1: on the word urban now that they're not going to
Speaker 1: use that at the Grammys anymore. You know, I just
Speaker 1: felt like urban was it was like talking around what
Speaker 1: you were trying to say. I didn't think it was
Speaker 1: racist or anything. I just always thought it was like
Speaker 1: kind of saying what you were trying to say, but
Speaker 1: not really saying it. Using urban as a as a
Speaker 1: replacement for flat just always felt imprecise to me. So
Speaker 1: I feel like, just call it what it is. If
Speaker 1: it's black music, you call and it, just call it
Speaker 1: black music. If it's R and B or a soul
Speaker 1: or reggae or any other our music that we made
Speaker 1: hip hop, call it what it is. It's this love
Speaker 1: of blackness that we're seeing from these corporations and music industry.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's gonna last? You think it's just
Speaker 1: a trend? Well, I think some of it it's just
Speaker 1: a trend um. I think everybody's feeling the pressure right
Speaker 1: now because people are protesting, people are seeing you know,
Speaker 1: horrific videos, are people getting suffocated in the streets and
Speaker 1: all that. So there is clear outrage and there's clear
Speaker 1: there's a clear moment where people are really paying attention
Speaker 1: to black lives I feel like some of these companies
Speaker 1: will do these little statements and do these little Instagram
Speaker 1: posts or whatever, and then go about their regular business.
Speaker 1: But hopefully some of them will actually change. And to me,
Speaker 1: change looks like actually hiring black people and other people
Speaker 1: of color having their voices heard in the executives week.
Speaker 1: We need to see like actual inclusion inside the places
Speaker 1: where the decisions are being made, where the budgets are
Speaker 1: being determined and the money is being spent, not in
Speaker 1: an Instagram post. So how do we make that happen? Though?
Speaker 1: Because you know, I believe hope is not a strategy.
Speaker 1: You believe hope is a strategy. Hope is the fuel,
Speaker 1: I think, part of the fuel you use to get
Speaker 1: the work done, because hope means you believe that if
Speaker 1: I keep working at something, we'll get it done. And
Speaker 1: so I think we still have to keep pressuring these companies,
Speaker 1: the governments, all of them, to do the right thing.
Speaker 1: And that requires tenacity, it requires vigilance, it requires transparency, data,
Speaker 1: all these things. Hope it's part of it. If you
Speaker 1: look at what the activists, you know, people that started
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, and you know other organizations have been doing.
Speaker 1: They've been actually working on this stuff, you know, when
Speaker 1: nobody's really paying attention, and so they were ready for
Speaker 1: this moment. And so that means we have to stay vigilant.
Speaker 1: We have to continue to organize and be activists and
Speaker 1: speak up. And it's not a big moment like this.
Speaker 1: We've seen you guys give a couple of hundred thousand
Speaker 1: to the protests that were locked up to make sure
Speaker 1: that their lawyers and bail were taken care of. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we gave a bail fund. We also gave to the
Speaker 1: Movement for Black Lives and then I always give to
Speaker 1: other organizations that are supporting ending mass criminalization, massive carceration,
Speaker 1: and that's an ongoing thing for us and for me particularly.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had any rats with the police yourself? Personally,
Speaker 1: I have had running. We've nothing termed violent, but like
Speaker 1: when I was in college, they would just stop me
Speaker 1: for no reason. It's just having to prove that we're
Speaker 1: not a criminal. It gets frustrating sometimes and you can
Speaker 1: understand why sometimes brothers will resist because it's like it's
Speaker 1: ongoing indignity of having to prove that you should in
Speaker 1: the places where you exist, and that You're not a threat,
Speaker 1: and I've definitely had to deal with it myself. Y'all
Speaker 1: go ask how this quarantine slowed things down at your TV,
Speaker 1: your TV and film production company. You got a very
Speaker 1: successful production company. I don't know, people know, Yeah, get lifted. Um.
Speaker 1: We've been putting out some great stuff. We were co
Speaker 1: produced on the Specialist Night. We produced a documentary that
Speaker 1: series that was on HBO called Atlanta's Missing and Murdered
Speaker 1: about the Atlanta child murders. And we have some great
Speaker 1: stuff that we're working on. We have We were going
Speaker 1: to start Rhythm and Flow a little earlier this year,
Speaker 1: but we've had to push that back a little bit
Speaker 1: because we have season two of Rhythm and Flow coming
Speaker 1: soon as soon as we can get all the production happening.
Speaker 1: So you know, some things were delayed, but we're still
Speaker 1: moving and we're still excited about what we have going.
Speaker 1: Of course, Sherman's Showcase was our comedy music show that
Speaker 1: we did a Black History months in June special that
Speaker 1: aired on Friday as well, and then we just got
Speaker 1: announced that we got picked up for season two for that,
Speaker 1: so we're excited about that. So we got a lot
Speaker 1: of things happening, and I'm excited to all the work.
Speaker 1: What happened to the Black Wall screen project with Tika Something,
Speaker 1: because now I see like it's like three Black Wall
Speaker 1: screed documentaries coming out. What happened with that exactly? We
Speaker 1: were just talking about that with Hulu because we had
Speaker 1: originally planned to do it with Hulu and then it
Speaker 1: didn't get picked up, and we literally just wrote the
Speaker 1: email to our exact same who were like, yo, y'all
Speaker 1: got to pick us up. This is very relevant right
Speaker 1: now and it needs to be told, and so we're
Speaker 1: gonna try to resuscitate that. Did Hulu reply? We got
Speaker 1: a nice reply. We got nice when I emailed somebody,
Speaker 1: they reply yeah, okay, okay, okay, they want to work
Speaker 1: all right, Well, thank you John Legend for checking in.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you. Your albums out right now, Big a Love, Yes, Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you for joining us, brother, thank you all right here,
Speaker 1: it's the Breakfast Club. It's John Legend, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: She's filling the team. This is the rumor report with
Speaker 1: Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, NBC Universal is
Speaker 1: removing four episodes of thirty Rock from streaming services and
Speaker 1: syndication because characters had black face. Now they remove these
Speaker 1: at the request of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, who
Speaker 1: are the show's co creators. Tina Fey released a statement,
Speaker 1: as we strive to do the work and do better
Speaker 1: in regards to race in America, we believe that these
Speaker 1: episodes featuring actors in a race changing makeup are best
Speaker 1: taken out of circulation. I understand now that intent is
Speaker 1: not a free pass for white people to use these images.
Speaker 1: I apologize for pain they have caused. Going forward, no
Speaker 1: comedy loving kidneys to stumble on these tropes and be
Speaker 1: stung by their ugliness. I think NBC Universal for honoring
Speaker 1: this request. And there you have it. And we've already
Speaker 1: told you about Gone with the Wind being removed from
Speaker 1: HBO Max, and they're going to return that to the
Speaker 1: streaming services with a disclaimer about historical context as well.
Speaker 1: All right, Blake Griffin has recalled experiencing racism in a
Speaker 1: high school and you kind of look back and be like, oh,
Speaker 1: that was pretty racist. This was an episode of arm
Speaker 1: Chair Expert with Dak Shepherd as the host. And listen
Speaker 1: to this. So my parents did a really, really, really
Speaker 1: good job of just rising above it. And so there's
Speaker 1: situations that my brother and back now and we're like,
Speaker 1: oh wow, that was like that was racist, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like where because my parents didn't give
Speaker 1: it the power, it didn't affect us either, which I
Speaker 1: didn't realize what was happening at the time. But remember
Speaker 1: girls in like high school saying, oh, I like you,
Speaker 1: I like you thaying and they're like, I like you too,
Speaker 1: but like I can't, I can never date you. I'm like,
Speaker 1: you're like why, Like my dad will let me. He's right,
Speaker 1: I'm sure everybody has had those experiences. Hell, it's been
Speaker 1: If you read uh Bobby Brown's book, Janet Jackson wouldn't
Speaker 1: bring Bobby Brown home because she said Joe wouldn't want
Speaker 1: her to bring a black man home. What happens, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Blake Griffin. His mother's white, his father is black. And
Speaker 1: this was while growing up in Oklahoma. So I have mercy,
Speaker 1: all right. Fortnite has has removed cop cars from their
Speaker 1: game amid police protests. So the Shooter Survivra video game
Speaker 1: has removed those cars, and they were you know. Fortnite
Speaker 1: obviously is a super popular game. Even I played Fortnite
Speaker 1: at some point. Now players never used the police vehicles.
Speaker 1: They were just for decoration. So this just remove those
Speaker 1: from the game period. What why? That's getting kind of crazy,
Speaker 1: getting kind of ridiculous, like like what's next. You're gonna
Speaker 1: cancel Paul Patrol? No, they better not. They definitely gonna
Speaker 1: cancel Paul Patrol. They better not. If they know what
Speaker 1: I know, they better not. It's only a matter of time.
Speaker 1: Well let's do us. Told the Wall Street Journal, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't say it's a political statement. I think it's just
Speaker 1: as being sensitive about the issues many people in our
Speaker 1: audience are dealing with. You need some sort of law enforcement. Though,
Speaker 1: you need some sort of law enforcement. You just can't
Speaker 1: have uh no police officers. It'll be anarchy in these streets.
Speaker 1: Like if somebody breaking into your house right now, who
Speaker 1: are you gonna call ghostbusters? No, you're gonna call a
Speaker 1: goddamn police. Okay, So so you need some type of
Speaker 1: law and order. You just need you just need a
Speaker 1: better form of law and order. The police need a reform.
Speaker 1: And I hate people that say, no, it ain't cooling.
Speaker 1: Who are you gonna call him? Who you're gonna call somebody?
Speaker 1: Breaking Houn. Call stop, it's a damn lie, stop all right.
Speaker 1: Singer Marie says that he recalls being stopped by Miami police,
Speaker 1: and he said he was held at gunpoint until a
Speaker 1: female officer recognized him. Now, he said, three months ago,
Speaker 1: he was driving in Miami with a friend who has
Speaker 1: a license to carry a can seal gun, and his
Speaker 1: friend got into an argument with another man. He said,
Speaker 1: my friend pulled out a gun and so did the
Speaker 1: other guy, so I got out to defuse the situation.
Speaker 1: He said he managed to calm everyone down. The other
Speaker 1: guy with the gun eventually left. He said, my boy
Speaker 1: got in his car, he put his gun in the armrest,
Speaker 1: and then he went to his building to use the
Speaker 1: bathroom and left the gun. But Mario said he didn't
Speaker 1: realize somebody had called the police. They had witnessed the
Speaker 1: altercation called the police. He said, two cops came up
Speaker 1: to the car with their guns drawn, shouting. He said,
Speaker 1: I forgot about the gun that was in the arm wrest,
Speaker 1: and when they asked me if there were any guns
Speaker 1: in the car, said no, there's no guns in the car.
Speaker 1: The officers then told him not to move and he
Speaker 1: put his hands up and the cops said, there's a
Speaker 1: gun right there. Why did you lie to me? And
Speaker 1: he was trying to explain. But then that's when the
Speaker 1: woman who was a cop appeared and said, wait, aren't
Speaker 1: to Mario and he was like yeah, and he told them,
Speaker 1: don't shoot. And so he said he did experience racism,
Speaker 1: but he says, I've also experienced privilege as an artist.
Speaker 1: As an artist, I would say we do have privilege,
Speaker 1: whether it's sports, entertainment. We see power in all these
Speaker 1: different spaces. But with that also comes privilege. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: he's right. Yeah. Dave Chappelle talked about it getting pulled
Speaker 1: over and the cop was like, oh, you're Dave Chappelle.
Speaker 1: Will know who you are. That's the fact, all right.
Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj has congratulated the barbs because Trolls is number
Speaker 1: one on Billboard's Hot one hundred Songs chart this week.

Speaker 1: do that debuting, that's insane. So I love you guys
Speaker 1: so much. We just did the highest pure sales of
