Speaker 1: seminar on Atlantic City. It was a two day seminar.
Speaker 1: The first day was a ride along where we rode
Speaker 1: through some of the neighborhoods of Atlantic City, show the
Speaker 1: people the homes, and then we had a mixer where
Speaker 1: people could actually talk to different agents, lendings, attorneys, and
Speaker 1: then the next day we had a seminar where we
Speaker 1: broke everything down. I had an amazing response. There was
Speaker 1: some hiccups, but we went we got over to the the

Speaker 1: Expeditiously podcast. Okay, the two part series with Killer Mike
Speaker 1: is amazing. You should really listened to part two, The
Speaker 1: at Land Away, because they just laid down a blueprint
Speaker 1: that so many people could replicate in the cities all
Speaker 1: across America. And not by people, I mean black people.
Speaker 1: Amanda Sales podcasts, Small Doses, the one on Cancel Coaches incredible,
Speaker 1: and Ti and Alex Jones great conversation. Okay, great conversation
Speaker 1: because Alex Jones the conspiracy theorists. If you've ever read
Speaker 1: like We Hold the Pale Horse, you know, and it's
Speaker 1: just it's just interesting to hear him in a TI
Speaker 1: having a conversation because we all live in this this
Speaker 1: arrow where everybody wants to be around people who think
Speaker 1: like them. Right, it's just like this echo chamber, so
Speaker 1: nobody really learns anything, correct, you know. And I like
Speaker 1: to see two people who have two different thought processes
Speaker 1: dialoguing with each other. So that was that was good.
Speaker 1: So that's what I did. Okay, let's get the show
Speaker 1: cracking now. Forrest Whittaker will be joining us. Yes, we'll
Speaker 1: talk to Forest came out producing last night, right, the director, Yeah,

Speaker 1: about this new initiative that he's doing. Just stop jerrymandering. Yep,
Speaker 1: So don't move for them page. It's just next. It's
Speaker 1: the breakfast Club. God morning. Who got to stop saying
Speaker 1: stuff like that? Say what, you were sick all weekend
Speaker 1: and you had unprotected sex on Thursday. You know why
Speaker 1: you were a sick call weekend? Who said that? Don't
Speaker 1: worry about it? Okay, just keep it moving, all right, right,
Speaker 1: let's get in some front page news now in NFL
Speaker 1: the Titans beat the Falcons twenty four ten, Rounds beat
Speaker 1: the Ravens forty twenty five. The Patriots beat the Bills
Speaker 1: sixteen ten. Kansas City Chiefs beat the Lions thirty four thirty.
Speaker 1: The Panthers beat the Texans sixteen ten. Raiders beat the
Speaker 1: Coast thirty one twenty four. The Chargers beat the Dolphins
Speaker 1: thirty ten. My Giants beat the Redskins twenty four to three,
Speaker 1: blow them out. Seahawks beat the Cardinals or twenty seven ten.
Speaker 1: Tampa May beat the Rounds fifty five forty four. The
Speaker 1: Bears beat the Viking sixteen to six. The Jaguars beat
Speaker 1: the Broncoles twenty six, twenty four, and the Saints washed
Speaker 1: the calf not twelve to ten, but it's twelve to ten.
Speaker 1: Sounds like a wash to you now, I gotta make
Speaker 1: it sound because trashazz game. It was a horrible game,
Speaker 1: by the way, How's played terrible. I wasn't mad at it.
Speaker 1: Now Tonight Monday Night Football, the Steelers take on the
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals now in boxing. Arrow Spence, who's been up
Speaker 1: here a couple of times, I believe, beat up sean Port.
Speaker 1: Shawn part has been up here two years. Fight It
Speaker 1: wasn't a great fight. It was a great fight. One
Speaker 1: of the best fights I've seen all yet. I sparred
Speaker 1: with Shawn Porter before I did three rounds of Seawan Porter.
Speaker 1: It's on a video if you were looking up on YouTube.
Speaker 1: But it was a great fight. Than you're laughing that,
Speaker 1: I'm going to knock your bid off talking about they're
Speaker 1: giggling the snake ring. You know what I'm saying. But
Speaker 1: Sleut the earl spent to Sean Port a great fight.
Speaker 1: I don't think that fight took any anything away from
Speaker 1: either opponent. Now, um in Ohio, four prisoners overpowered, overpowered
Speaker 1: some guards and escape from Ohio jail. They made up
Speaker 1: some makeshift weapons. Now, the four guys, one was arrested
Speaker 1: for uh stolen property, another one was for drug trafficking.
Speaker 1: The other one was failure to appear in court. I
Speaker 1: don't know why he would leave. And the last one
Speaker 1: was identity fraud. So they're looking for four individuals. They're
Speaker 1: driving a Dodge Charger. Gray. I got so many questions,
Speaker 1: why would you escape from jail when your chargers aren't
Speaker 1: even charges that's gonna keep you in jail. Forever. Not
Speaker 1: at all. Weapons did they make that is more stronger
Speaker 1: than guns? Well, you know, they don't have guns in jail.
Speaker 1: The officers don't have guns in jail. No, they don't. No.
Speaker 1: I thought they had people on the towers and stuff
Speaker 1: with weapons and things like that. I think that's only
Speaker 1: in the movies, and that's only in certain places. Not
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. But these are these are small.
Speaker 1: Like the guy who was a jail wasn't a prison,
Speaker 1: right jail. This guy failed to appear in court. He
Speaker 1: should have never left, you know what I mean. The
Speaker 1: guy receiving stolen property, he shouldn't have left. Trafficking drugs
Speaker 1: depends what type of drugs it us And it depends
Speaker 1: how many times he's gotten called trafficking drugs. Yeah, it depends.
Speaker 1: Then the identity fraud depends how much it was. No,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna keep you in jail forever. Yeah, you're right, No, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right. Now, Donald Trump, he wants to meet with
Speaker 1: the whistleblower. He says he wants to meet He deserves
Speaker 1: to meet with his accuser, especially when this accuser of
Speaker 1: the soul called whistleblower represented a perfect conversation with a
Speaker 1: foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way. Trump
Speaker 1: doesn't know any of this work. Now, he doesn't, He
Speaker 1: absolutely possibly doesn't. He says the whistle blower will appear
Speaker 1: before the House panel. Now Trump had this to say,
Speaker 1: what's going on now is the single greatest scam in
Speaker 1: the history of American politics. The Democrats want to take
Speaker 1: away your guns, they want to take away your healthcare,
Speaker 1: they want to take away everything thing. We can never
Speaker 1: let this happen. We're fighting to drain the swamp. And
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I'm doing. And you see why we
Speaker 1: have to do it, because our country is at stake
Speaker 1: like never before. They're trying to stop me, because I'm
Speaker 1: fighting for you and I'll never let that happen. And
Speaker 1: his followers, who you know, follow him and who voted
Speaker 1: for him and who support him, they believe that nonsense.
Speaker 1: That he's right now as your president, is a criminal
Speaker 1: and he's been a criminal, and he finally got caught,
Speaker 1: because that's what happens when you keep your hand in
Speaker 1: the cookie jow a little too long. He probably wants
Speaker 1: to meet with the whistle blow so you can try
Speaker 1: to pass the whistle blow a brown paper bag full
Speaker 1: of some money. Maybe you know, did to change his story.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe probably that's that's what that is. But you
Speaker 1: know it's too late. The transcript is out. We stow
Speaker 1: would happen right Laddy's front page news. Now get it

Speaker 1: to talk about Kanye, so don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good Morning, the Breakfast Club. Listen, Oh my gosh, got
Speaker 1: the rumor report God God with Angel Angela. It's the
Speaker 1: Room Report the Breakfast Club. Now, Kanye West was all
Speaker 1: over the place this weekend. He's releasing a new album.
Speaker 1: I believe this week is called Jesus Is King. I
Speaker 1: thought that he pushed it back. No, it was supposed
Speaker 1: to be Friday, and they saying they're trying to get
Speaker 1: it out this week. I thought he said he put
Speaker 1: it out on Sunday's supposed to come out on Friday.
Speaker 1: That supposed coming on Friday. Said he was pushing it back,
Speaker 1: and then he said the last Friday, Sunday supposed Fast Friday,
Speaker 1: Fast Friday. Yeah, so supposed to come out this week.
Speaker 1: They say, but we don't know, we're not sure as
Speaker 1: he yet. But Friday he was out in Detroit and
Speaker 1: he played snippets of the album. People that was at
Speaker 1: the venue that was they got free tickets. They said
Speaker 1: that it's a lot of gospel sounds, very gospel he's
Speaker 1: rarely rapping on a lot of the songs, and they
Speaker 1: said it sounds pretty good. Now, Kanye also said that
Speaker 1: he's not doing any secular music anymore. It's all gospel
Speaker 1: from here on out. What what, what exactly is secular
Speaker 1: musicrom people say they're not doing secular music because somebody
Speaker 1: from the gospel community explain to me what secular music
Speaker 1: is exactly, because I've been I used that term a lot,
Speaker 1: but I wonder what that actually means. Let me see,
Speaker 1: secular music is simply music that have not affiliated with
Speaker 1: any religious practice, our tradition. So a song like back
Speaker 1: in the day Inspected Deck to Power of God, and
Speaker 1: you would that be considered the gospel record because he's
Speaker 1: rapping about God? Though you know, I don't understand what
Speaker 1: the secular music thing means. Um, I don't know. That's
Speaker 1: a good question, and that is a great question, Jesus walks.
Speaker 1: Would that be considered a secular record? They considered that
Speaker 1: gospel music back in the day, Remember that was they
Speaker 1: played that on gospel stations, they played on hip hop stations,
Speaker 1: they played that even on R and B stations. That
Speaker 1: would that went across all boards? If I remember correctly.
Speaker 1: Saturday he was out in Chicago with a chance to
Speaker 1: rap or playing some cuts, and then yesterday he was
Speaker 1: out in Queens, New York, Jamaica. Queens. He went to
Speaker 1: Alan Church and shout the pastor Floyd Flake, and he
Speaker 1: performed there and everybody said, the music sounding so great.
Speaker 1: So let's play a clip of him freestyling in Queens
Speaker 1: ne movie. I love it. It's positive Music's feel good,
Speaker 1: feel good music. When when when God gets in you
Speaker 1: and tells you to change your life, you change your life.
Speaker 1: That freestyle would be whack anywhere with the church though,
Speaker 1: clear you know what I'm saying. That only works in
Speaker 1: the church when everybody no good when he said it,
Speaker 1: and everybody got the Holy ghost, and you're just trying
Speaker 1: to get people on their feet. I see people trying to,
Speaker 1: you know, uh say, yea is making a mockery of
Speaker 1: God and he's trying to copy the Gods off religion. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't see how you can say that when one
Speaker 1: of his first records was Jesus walks. You understand I'm sing,
Speaker 1: and not to mention people grow and people evolved, people
Speaker 1: can change species in their life. If he wants to
Speaker 1: make gospel music at the point in his career. I
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with you don't know what his
Speaker 1: plan was. You know, no, you don't know what God's
Speaker 1: plan for him was. Absolutely and and that's the thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, it could be one of those things. But
Speaker 1: God wants to make him one of the biggest artists
Speaker 1: ever and say, you know what, now, I want you
Speaker 1: to speak my word. That's usually how it works. What
Speaker 1: he said, God doesn't God doesn't call to qualified, He

Speaker 1: He cancels two shows and he announced he's taking a
Speaker 1: little time off from music. He said the last seven
Speaker 1: months has been really rough and he just needs some
Speaker 1: time to himself. I have no problem with him taking
Speaker 1: a break. I'm just saying, when you got one record, though,
Speaker 1: it's kind of tough. He put out an album, No,
Speaker 1: he put out an EP. Like I said, when you
Speaker 1: got one record, you know what I'm saying, it's kind
Speaker 1: of tough to take a break. Might you need to
Speaker 1: get all you can now because tomorrow is not promised.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's maybe that's part of it. Maybe he wants
Speaker 1: to get all that he can down. He's been working,
Speaker 1: he's been on the road. He he has been able
Speaker 1: to enjoy his life. You take too long of a
Speaker 1: break when you a guy with one record. It might
Speaker 1: be it. That's all I'm saying. Maybe wants to date,
Speaker 1: Maybe wants to start a family. Maybe he just wants
Speaker 1: to chill do your thing. That's a hundred million dollar record.
Speaker 1: He should have made a lot of money off that
Speaker 1: one run. Did I pray he did. I pray he
Speaker 1: did not get got any contract situations, and I pray
Speaker 1: that he made all his money off that record. All right,
Speaker 1: that is a record that could last him a lifetime. Well,

Speaker 1: a split decision win over Sean Porter. Great fight Saturday
Speaker 1: Night suit to Sean Porter, his father Kennedy suited the
Speaker 1: Earl Spens and his whole team. Neither one of those
Speaker 1: fighters lost anything if you ask me. Great fight, that
Speaker 1: was a dog fight, great, great matchup, great great But
Speaker 1: ear Earl is no jokes. Sean ain't no joke either.
Speaker 1: But you know Earl got the best of him on
Speaker 1: Saturday night, which I thought he would, but it was
Speaker 1: a great fight. Now in Ohio, Ohio jail, some four
Speaker 1: prisoners escaped. Now they escaped, they made some handmade weapons
Speaker 1: and overpowered the guards. Now, these are the four individuals.
Speaker 1: One his name is Martin. He's forty years old. He
Speaker 1: was in jail for receiving stolen property. Clemente he's twenty four.
Speaker 1: He was in jail for trafficking drugs. Troy he was
Speaker 1: in jail for failing to appear in court. Lawrence he's
Speaker 1: twenty nine. He is in jail for identity fraud. Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know why these four individuals would be running
Speaker 1: from the police, because they don't seem like these crimes
Speaker 1: are too crazy. It don't look like they would be
Speaker 1: sitting in jail too long. But I don't know why
Speaker 1: they tried to run. I don't know. They sound like
Speaker 1: four knoke of the days than me, and I don't
Speaker 1: I really don't get it, especially being that none of
Speaker 1: them was gonna sit in jail forever for any of
Speaker 1: those charges that they had. Now, they said they drove
Speaker 1: the car a block away where another car was waiting
Speaker 1: for them. They believed to be in the twenty nineteen
Speaker 1: Dodge Charger with Ohio plate already. Yeah, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I mean got a wait like they had somebody waiting
Speaker 1: for them. Spake them up and kept them moving. They
Speaker 1: got caught an hour ago. They got caught an hour ago.
Speaker 1: They got caught a hour going North Carolina. Three out
Speaker 1: of four of them got caught Riata, four of them.
Speaker 1: All right, you know, they either gonna hold it down
Speaker 1: or they're gonna six nine another fourth guy. They probably
Speaker 1: don't know where he's at the Probably that guys probably,
Speaker 1: I'm sure they were all together. That one dude was
Speaker 1: just smart enough to say, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: separate from y'all four. I'm gonna go ya. I've seen
Speaker 1: set it off before. The best thing for us to
Speaker 1: do is to split up, all right, So y'all three
Speaker 1: can stick together, you damn students. I'm gonna go solo dolo.
Speaker 1: All right. Now, you're President Donald Trump. He wants to
Speaker 1: meet with the whistle blower. He says, I deserve to
Speaker 1: meet my accuser, especially when it's accused of The so
Speaker 1: called whistleblower represented a perfect conversation with a foreig leader
Speaker 1: in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way. Do you think
Speaker 1: gonna say to the accused when he meets him, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'll try to hand him a brown paper
Speaker 1: back full of some money to try to get him
Speaker 1: a change the story. Possibly, Well, ye had this to say.
Speaker 1: What's going on now is the single greatest scam in
Speaker 1: the history of American politics. The Democrats want to take
Speaker 1: away your guns, they want to take away your healthcare,
Speaker 1: they want to take away everything. We can never let
Speaker 1: this happen. We're fighting to drain the swamp. And that's
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm doing. And you see why we have
Speaker 1: to do it because our country is at stake like
Speaker 1: never before. They're trying to stop me because I'm fighting
Speaker 1: for you and I'll never let that happen. This situation
Speaker 1: is so hiliarus to me because Donald Trump is acting
Speaker 1: like himself. Along with his attorney Root Giuliani didn't confess
Speaker 1: to asking another country to investigate a potential presidential candidate.
Speaker 1: They both confess that they did this. Nobody made it up,
Speaker 1: You did it. It's the legal violation of his oath
Speaker 1: of office. The man has been committing crime since he's
Speaker 1: been in the White House, and I'm just happy that
Speaker 1: people and by people, I mean Nafylosi in the house
Speaker 1: to crash finally acting like it right, like a period.
Speaker 1: All right, well, that is your front page news. Now
Speaker 1: let's talk about this some more in depth. Eric Holder,
Speaker 1: Attorney General, will be joining us. He's been here before,
Speaker 1: by the way, I think this is the second time
Speaker 1: of him. Yep. So we'll kick it with him when
Speaker 1: we come back. All right, so don't move. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning, audience, DJ Envy Angela yee, Charlemagne
Speaker 1: the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We got a
Speaker 1: special guest in the building, indeed, Attorney General Eric Hold.
Speaker 1: Eric Holder, welcome south. What's happening to my peoplecome back?
Speaker 1: I'm glad to see you. You started a great group
Speaker 1: to redistrict redistricting group, right yep, National Democratic Redistricting Committee
Speaker 1: for redistrics thing after the distressing What am I saying?
Speaker 1: Redis rediculous redistricting? Nick King, redistricting redistrict redistrict got it?
Speaker 1: We called the R What did that stand for them?
Speaker 1: National Democratic Redistricting Remistricting. Okay, what is that? And w
Speaker 1: we wasted five minutes or I'm just trying to get
Speaker 1: the name straight to it. All right? What did that
Speaker 1: mean though? And what that important? Every ten years, after
Speaker 1: the census, which happens every ten years, the United States
Speaker 1: UM goes into a period of redistricting where we draw
Speaker 1: new legislative districts for the states and also for our
Speaker 1: congressional seats. Twenty eleven, the Republicans really went to town
Speaker 1: and jerrymandered UM the redistricting process so that they ended
Speaker 1: up with more seats than they deserved on the basis
Speaker 1: of the number of votes they got. And so in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, we want to make sure that Democrats
Speaker 1: are at the table and then we have a fair PROCESSUS. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people are afraid, and I understand that given what the
Speaker 1: Trump administration is done to try to create that climate
Speaker 1: of fear and the Hispanic community especially, And one of
Speaker 1: the things we have to do is encourage people to
Speaker 1: make sure that they raise their hands, that they get voted,
Speaker 1: because to have a fair redistricting process in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: you've got to have a fair census in twenty twenty today.
Speaker 1: Shouldn't be scared. Shouldn't be scared. I can understand the
Speaker 1: level of fear and the concern that people have, but
Speaker 1: the stakes are too high to simply not participate in
Speaker 1: the census. The census is the basis for determining how
Speaker 1: nine hundred billion dollars in federal aid is distributed to
Speaker 1: the states, and also again, how the redistricting is done,
Speaker 1: and how that is how political power is decided to
Speaker 1: be distributed over the course of the next decade. Didn't
Speaker 1: they try to make a law where you had to say,
Speaker 1: one of the questions would be are you a legal immigrant? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And when that got shot down, yeah, the question is
Speaker 1: whether or not you are a citizen. They wanted to
Speaker 1: include a citizenship question, which hasn't been included on the
Speaker 1: long form of the census since nineteen fifty. We file
Speaker 1: the lawsuit, the NDRC filed a lawsuit that we won,
Speaker 1: and the Trump administration ultimately backed down, and so the
Speaker 1: citizenship question will not be included on the Trump has
Speaker 1: access to this if need be, though, well, the Census
Speaker 1: Bureau will have access to the information, and it's actually
Speaker 1: typically historically it's really held that information and jealously guarded
Speaker 1: the information. That are protocols in place, for instance, so
Speaker 1: that the FBI doesn't get access to that information. Now,
Speaker 1: these are the norms, and now what happened not in
Speaker 1: the arms anymore, exactly what happens with this administration, what
Speaker 1: they'll try to do with it. You know, I have
Speaker 1: to be honest with people. You know, We'll try to
Speaker 1: do all that we can to make sure that some
Speaker 1: of those norms are are are followed, but we have
Speaker 1: to be wary. You know, would always talk about the
Speaker 1: Russians interfering that our elections and voter suppression and Mitch
Speaker 1: McConnell blocking an election security bill. Why are people people
Speaker 1: acting like election security is no big deal? Why are
Speaker 1: people raising more hell about that? Well? I have been
Speaker 1: I've been out there, you know. That's this is what
Speaker 1: I've been doing since I left the Department of Justice,
Speaker 1: talking about the need for election security, to make sure
Speaker 1: that people have the right to vote, that we stop
Speaker 1: voter suppression, that we make sure that people from off
Speaker 1: our shores, outside our shores don't have an ability to
Speaker 1: influence our elections. There's a whole range of things that
Speaker 1: we need to focus on. I mean, the House passed
Speaker 1: a bill that would distribute about I think two hundred
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars to the States to allow the States
Speaker 1: to get ready for what the Russians are going to
Speaker 1: try to do. Mitch McConnell bodies upside until he just said,
Speaker 1: I guess last week or so after he was called
Speaker 1: Moscow Mitch, which apparently really got to him. He's now
Speaker 1: authorized the distribution of that money. Democrats were on the
Speaker 1: on the case, but not on the debate stage. Corey,
Speaker 1: like in the last few debates, Correy Book was like
Speaker 1: the only person we even mentioned it even remotely. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't you know, I'm part of the problem with
Speaker 1: assessing people's what they talk about in these debates, the
Speaker 1: questions that they get asked, you know, and one of
Speaker 1: the things you know, we've had, I know, one, three
Speaker 1: four debates whatever this is. No one's asked anybody anything
Speaker 1: about jerrymandering, about redistricting, about voting issues, you know, I
Speaker 1: know it's my point. I know about the healthcare plans, now,
Speaker 1: I got it. I know what people stand on healthcare.
Speaker 1: I don't need to hear that anymore. Let's talk about
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some other things. Like you got statiating
Speaker 1: with the Fair Fight twenty twenty, right, which you're doing,
Speaker 1: but I just feel like it should be louder like
Speaker 1: our demand to me. I feel like our democracy is
Speaker 1: is damned dead until we fix that. I mean, our
Speaker 1: democracy is at stake, and people who don't understand that,
Speaker 1: I mean simply because we've had a democracy for two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years or so doesn't mean it's always
Speaker 1: going to be there. The Russians are trying to do
Speaker 1: things to it. I would say that the Republicans are
Speaker 1: trying to undermine from within our democracy with jurymandering, voter purges,
Speaker 1: voters suppression, and we've got a fight to save our democracy.
Speaker 1: What do you say to people who are saying, oh,
Speaker 1: what's the point in voting if it's just going to
Speaker 1: be you know, voter suppression is just going to be
Speaker 1: people interfering with the election process and all of that.
Speaker 1: What do you tell people who say, well, my vote
Speaker 1: doesn't matter anyway, Every vote counts. And we also have
Speaker 1: to understand that people died, people sacrifice, people committed themselves
Speaker 1: to a struggle to allow us to have the right
Speaker 1: to vote. John Lewis got his skull cracked on the
Speaker 1: Edmund Pattis Bridge so that people would be allowed to vote.
Speaker 1: Three civil rights workers give their gave their lives in
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty three in Mississippi, again they were trying to
Speaker 1: register people to vote. We dishonor that legacy, We dishonor
Speaker 1: their work if we don't do the simple thing of voting. Now.
Speaker 1: That may mean it may mean that we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to wait in line for three four hours in districts
Speaker 1: where there are people of color, which is unfair. Shouldn't happen.
Speaker 1: But I think to make sure that that doesn't happen
Speaker 1: the next time, we have to put in place people
Speaker 1: who will really value the right to vote. But it's
Speaker 1: a legacy. There's you know, we have to honor the work,
Speaker 1: the commitment, the effort of people for many years ago.
Speaker 1: Do you recommend that people go vote early too, just
Speaker 1: to kind of make sure in case there's any issues,
Speaker 1: you can smooth that out and know ahead of time.
Speaker 1: And that's a really great point. I think that every
Speaker 1: we should take advantage of those early voting periods that
Speaker 1: exist in different states. Vote as early as you can
Speaker 1: to make sure that your vote gets counted. You may
Speaker 1: be minimizing you out of time that you're going to
Speaker 1: have to wait but again, Republicans have tried to, you know,
Speaker 1: decrease the number of days that are available for early voting.
Speaker 1: You know, Republicans want to make it more difficult to vote.
Speaker 1: They think that, you know, some Democrats are of the
Speaker 1: view that the more people vote, it's you know, that's
Speaker 1: better for us. That's a defining issue. I think for
Speaker 1: the parties. We think more people ought to vote, that
Speaker 1: will help the Democratic Party. They want to restrict the
Speaker 1: number of people. They want to pick their voters. They
Speaker 1: want to decide who should actually be allowed to vote.
Speaker 1: A lot of Democrats that come up here they say
Speaker 1: that the reason they don't tell the truth was happening
Speaker 1: with the election security buildings. They don't want to discourage
Speaker 1: voters from voting in twenty twenty. That Democrats don't want
Speaker 1: to discourage Yes, they don't want to discourage voter from
Speaker 1: voting in twenty twen. Like if we tell people, hey,
Speaker 1: there is Russian interference, Yeah, of course we know it's
Speaker 1: voter suppression. Miss mconnell blocked the Lecscurity bill. We tell
Speaker 1: people that it will discourage people from voting. I think truth,
Speaker 1: you know, truth is always a good thing. Really, people
Speaker 1: understand what the deal is. People understand what they've got
Speaker 1: to overcome. I mean, the history of African Americans in
Speaker 1: this country shows that, you know, we were able to
Speaker 1: deal with truth and to overcome. You know, So put
Speaker 1: it out there, Tell people what's out there, what they're
Speaker 1: gonna be up against. You know, people will deal with
Speaker 1: it absolutely. I mean, no, you think is voting in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, You think that's difficult, Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe it might be a little inconvenient, but think about
Speaker 1: what doctor King had to put up with, what John
Speaker 1: Lewis had to put up. That's hard. It's because people
Speaker 1: came out and overwhelming numbers to vote, right, And I'm
Speaker 1: sure there was suppression at that time too. Sure there
Speaker 1: were attempts to try to, you know, keep the countdown,
Speaker 1: but young people came out, people of color came out.
Speaker 1: You know, every presidential election is important. The election in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty is existential. Donald Trump cannot get another four years.
Speaker 1: He's damaged our institutions, damaged the norms that we've had.
Speaker 1: He could destroy things with another another four years. We
Speaker 1: have more with Attorney General Eric Holder. When we come back,
Speaker 1: don't move as to Breakfast Club Morning's DJ Envy Angela
Speaker 1: Ye Chelamne the guy we all to Breakfast Club. We're
Speaker 1: still kicking it with Eric Holder, Attorney General. Do you
Speaker 1: think he wound up in jail Donald Trump? That's interesting?
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't I don't know. You know, I
Speaker 1: think the case that put Michael Cohen in jail, he
Speaker 1: has been named as an unindicted co conspirator, and so
Speaker 1: clearly he could be charged once he's out of office
Speaker 1: that he would no longer have the ability to say,
Speaker 1: you know, sitting president can't be indicted. Question and ultimately
Speaker 1: would be whether or not the next Attorney General, the
Speaker 1: next president, would make a decision that he should in
Speaker 1: fact be prosecuted. You know, but Gerald Ford made the
Speaker 1: decision that Nixon should not be and granted him a pardon.
Speaker 1: I think that same issue, that same question would confront
Speaker 1: you know, the next president. You know, I think no,
Speaker 1: I'm not no. I'm saying reflexively, um, you know, emotionally
Speaker 1: I'd say yes, But I have to think about what's
Speaker 1: the impact on the country. You know, what would we
Speaker 1: do by putting Donald Trump on trial, potentially putting him
Speaker 1: in jail? Would that have a negative impact on just
Speaker 1: the nation that needs to heal after um he's out.
Speaker 1: Does country care about what happens to the criminals? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, if the nation should care about the impact
Speaker 1: of our criminal justice system on individuals and what it
Speaker 1: does to them, also what the criminal justice system has
Speaker 1: done to communities of color, you know, for instance. So
Speaker 1: I think it's a legitimate concern to under figure out
Speaker 1: what is the impact of a particular prosecution or prosecution
Speaker 1: policy is going to be m on individual communities and
Speaker 1: on the nation as a whole. Question. Out of all
Speaker 1: Trump's impeachable offenses, which one could rather than an Obama
Speaker 1: have gotten away with none exactly, he'd be they'd be
Speaker 1: trying to profit. They were gonna put him in jail.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't put him in Jeff wearing a tan suit, remember,
Speaker 1: you know, So why are we having any empathy for
Speaker 1: Donald Trump? If Donald Trump wasn't the president, he was
Speaker 1: just a regular citizen, would he'd be going to jail?
Speaker 1: Forget if he's a regular citizen. If you said that
Speaker 1: Obama was about to go to jail for a tan suit,
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but you said he couldn't. Don't think none
Speaker 1: of those. He's a federal statute that says you can't
Speaker 1: wear ten suits. But you know, he couldn't have got
Speaker 1: away with any of those offenses. No, No, well he
Speaker 1: couldn't have gotten away with They certainly would have held
Speaker 1: hearings and all that stuff, whether they ultimately would have
Speaker 1: prosecuted him. You know. Again, I don't know. I don't know. Um,
Speaker 1: it's a tough questions. It's again I said, as I
Speaker 1: said reflexively, instinctively, I'd say, yeah, you know, the jail, Yeah,
Speaker 1: given all the stuff that he's done. But I think,
Speaker 1: you know, at some point, some policymaker, um, some decision
Speaker 1: makers gonna have to step back and say, do we
Speaker 1: really want to do we really want to do this?
Speaker 1: I mean, now, he should be held accountable, you know,
Speaker 1: And that's that. I'm always a person who says that
Speaker 1: there's you know, individuals should be held accountab for their
Speaker 1: their actions, and he certainly ought to be held accountable
Speaker 1: for all that he has, all that he's done. What
Speaker 1: did you think when you heard of when you read
Speaker 1: the transcript between Donald Trump and Ukrainian president, it was disturbing, um,
Speaker 1: the notion that the president would reach out to um,
Speaker 1: a foreign leader and ask for information, help in getting
Speaker 1: information on somebody who was a potential political rival, again
Speaker 1: inconsistent with what we do in the United States. Breaks
Speaker 1: norms at a minimum, potentially breaks statutes, you know, at
Speaker 1: its worst, and so it was. It's very disturbing. Now
Speaker 1: it's interesting to be interesting to see how that investigation proceeds,
Speaker 1: who ultimately is involved in it. How do you think
Speaker 1: Donald Trump will be re elected? No, I really don't
Speaker 1: think that he will be I think that I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fight. I mean, I think, you know,
Speaker 1: he I'm not a poker guy. But what's the thing
Speaker 1: he do a straight and he drew? I don't know
Speaker 1: what a Yeah, there was some some description about he
Speaker 1: did something in poker that's almost impossible to do, you know,
Speaker 1: which is to win by winning in three states seventy
Speaker 1: seven thousand votes. Um, you know, didn't win the electoral college.
Speaker 1: I will guarantee this, the Democratic nominee for president will
Speaker 1: get more of the popular vote than Donald Trump did
Speaker 1: that too. The only way he wins is to win
Speaker 1: in the electoral college. And I don't say it's a
Speaker 1: guarantee that will win the electoral college. But I think
Speaker 1: I'm pretty certain that we will. I don't think that
Speaker 1: the American people, We're gonna have an energized Democratic um base.
Speaker 1: You know, I think young people, people of color, the
Speaker 1: Obama coalition, I think will reassert itself, and I think
Speaker 1: the majority of the American people will reject that which
Speaker 1: Trump has stood for these past by then these past
Speaker 1: four years. Do you think Joe Biden is the best
Speaker 1: bet for Democrats in twenty twenty. I think we've got
Speaker 1: a bunch of good candidates. Um, I think he'd be good.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, other people who are running would
Speaker 1: be Um would be good. Well. I like like Kamala,
Speaker 1: I like Corey, I like Game, I like call of them.
Speaker 1: You know, I think any one of these Democrats is
Speaker 1: better than Trump. You know of that, there's no There's
Speaker 1: no question. And I like their programs. I think there'll
Speaker 1: be more honorable. There'll be people of integrity in a
Speaker 1: way that he has not been. So I think the
Speaker 1: bar is Donald Trump Doe. No. I think, well again,
Speaker 1: we'll get back to norms. You know, we'll have presidents,
Speaker 1: will have a new president who would conduct himself or
Speaker 1: herself in the way that we'd expect presidents to do
Speaker 1: the way the way Barack Obama, did you know, do
Speaker 1: you think it's time to get rid of the electoral college. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: there's no reason to have an electoral college. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're the only industrialized nation, the only advanced democracy that
Speaker 1: elects people in that way. The vote ought to be
Speaker 1: simply who gets the greatest number of votes, not like
Speaker 1: who has the number who wins the greatest number of states.
Speaker 1: Why isn't that really something that people are pushing for,
Speaker 1: because I feel like that should be a big deal,
Speaker 1: especially considering the last election. Well, people actually are. There's
Speaker 1: this thing called you have to amend the Constitution if
Speaker 1: you wanted to do it that way. But there's also
Speaker 1: this effort called the Interstate Compact to do away with it.
Speaker 1: So what would happen is that the states would cast
Speaker 1: their electoral votes not for who won the state, but
Speaker 1: who had the greatest number of national popular votes, and
Speaker 1: in that way you would ultimately do away with the
Speaker 1: electribal college. And I think so far you've got states
Speaker 1: that total about one hundred and ninety six electrical votes.
Speaker 1: You need to get states to total two hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy votes and then that would hold electoral college would
Speaker 1: still be there, who would no longer be in effect?
Speaker 1: Meager a question about some of these candidates, ag holder,
Speaker 1: why should black people trust Joe Biden? And the reason
Speaker 1: I say that is because, you know, you look at
Speaker 1: the eighty eight crack laws and the ninety four Crime Bill,
Speaker 1: and you know, you listen to the things he said
Speaker 1: about Barack Obama being the first mainstream African American that's bright,
Speaker 1: articulate and clean, Like, why should we trust him other
Speaker 1: than the fact he was Obama's vice president for HS Well,
Speaker 1: I mean, there are things that he's got to certainly
Speaker 1: explain in his record, But I think you've got to
Speaker 1: look at the entirety of his career and make a
Speaker 1: determination about whether or not you think that he would
Speaker 1: be a president who would have the backs of communities
Speaker 1: of color. I tend to think that he would. I've
Speaker 1: known Joe Biden for twenty years or so. I've served
Speaker 1: with him when he was vice president, and I think
Speaker 1: that in spite of all the things that you've talked about,
Speaker 1: which again a legitimate concerns and things he has to explain,
Speaker 1: I think that he would be a person committed to
Speaker 1: civil rights and committed to the interests of people in
Speaker 1: the African American community, Hispanic community in a way that
Speaker 1: you know, the president he served us in the way
Speaker 1: that Barack Obama was. You won't even admit that the
Speaker 1: niney four crime Bill was wrong though, and it caused
Speaker 1: mass and coosceration. Well, I'd say the ninety four Crime
Speaker 1: Bill didn't cause mass and cooceration. It certainly there's an
Speaker 1: argument can make that it certainly accelerated it because it
Speaker 1: had those provisions that help states build build prisons. There
Speaker 1: also with some good preventive measures in the ninety four
Speaker 1: crime build that people I think too often don't talk about.
Speaker 1: But I think as a society, you know, we were
Speaker 1: in a different place in ninety four, but crime was
Speaker 1: a top three issue. We reacted wrongly to the way
Speaker 1: in which we should deal with crime. We didn't focus
Speaker 1: enough on the things that caused people to be involved
Speaker 1: in crime. We didn't come up with enough measures to
Speaker 1: help people get rehabilitated once they were in the system,
Speaker 1: didn't make opportunities available to people once they were leaving
Speaker 1: the system. We've learned a lot from that, So don't
Speaker 1: I don't think that you know, he should certainly be
Speaker 1: questioned about it, but I don't think we should put
Speaker 1: on him. You know, the Black Caucus, it stood for
Speaker 1: a lot of the things that are contained in the
Speaker 1: in the ninety four crime Bill. It was the nation
Speaker 1: was in a different place at that time, and we
Speaker 1: have to make up for what we did back then.
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I always think about the fact that
Speaker 1: we had a crack academic back in the nineties and
Speaker 1: we used it. We used the criminal justice system as
Speaker 1: a way to deal with that. Now we're dealing with
Speaker 1: the opioid prisis, and everybody says it's a public health
Speaker 1: health problem, and that's what we should have been doing
Speaker 1: back in the in the nineties. All Right, we got
Speaker 1: more with Eric Holder. When we come back, don't move.
Speaker 1: It's the breakfast club. Good morning, e j Envy, Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy we all to breakfast club. We're still
Speaker 1: kicking it with Eric Holder, Attorney General Yee? Did you
Speaker 1: face a lot of racism being the first black person
Speaker 1: in your position as Attorney General? I certainly faced a
Speaker 1: lot of um, you know, political heat. Took a lot
Speaker 1: of political heat. And I always wondering in the back
Speaker 1: of my mind how much of that was a function
Speaker 1: of race and how much of it was just that
Speaker 1: I was this kind of you know, loudmouth guy from
Speaker 1: from New York. You know, um, the vehemence with which
Speaker 1: people opposed Barack Obama and Eric Holder, I still try
Speaker 1: to wrestle with how much of that wash was raised,
Speaker 1: how much of that was just was just politics. They
Speaker 1: saw in him change. They also saw in him, I think,
Speaker 1: the future, and he's very disconcerting to think that, you know,
Speaker 1: this guy represents what America is about to become, and
Speaker 1: it means that we are not going to have power
Speaker 1: in the way that we that we did. So I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. I'm not sure how much it was racially
Speaker 1: based and how much it was simply m definitely, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: now there's you know, there's certain insta I mean, when
Speaker 1: I was at in In, I guess listening to Barack,
Speaker 1: I guess was the State of the Union address, and
Speaker 1: that guy stood up and said, you know, you lie,
Speaker 1: but let's go back to that audio real quick. The
Speaker 1: reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are
Speaker 1: here illegally if he were a white man giving a
Speaker 1: State of the Union address. Would a congressman have the
Speaker 1: guts to stand up and say you lie at some level,
Speaker 1: at some level, that guy, that guy had UM, you know,
Speaker 1: I was subconscious, unconscious, whatever that was, that was there
Speaker 1: was a racial thing going on there in that man's mind.
Speaker 1: Let's talk Eric Gnat a little bit. Yeah, RFP to office,
Speaker 1: RFU to him. And the officer who killed him was
Speaker 1: Daniel Pantelo. He was fired, He was fired but not prosecuted.
Speaker 1: And I was told that you told the family you
Speaker 1: wouldn't let the case go to your next the next administration.
Speaker 1: That true? Yeah, I mean, I, um, you know, the
Speaker 1: case was really at the beginning stages when I was
Speaker 1: an Attorney General. And I think it's it's disheartening to
Speaker 1: me to see the way in which that case played out.
Speaker 1: It took too long, um to resolve. Should have been
Speaker 1: resolved during the Obama years, I think, Um, I think
Speaker 1: you know there was the Civil Rights Division clearly wanted
Speaker 1: to prosecute that case. I think the prosecutors up here
Speaker 1: in Brooklyn perhaps didn't want to proceed. UM. Seemed to
Speaker 1: me that there was a basis for that case to proceed.
Speaker 1: Civil rights attorneys should have been allowed to prosecute the case.
Speaker 1: It's one of the places that I think that this
Speaker 1: administration in bar made a wrong determination. I mean, everybody
Speaker 1: saw the tape, you know, and at a minimum, a
Speaker 1: jury should have had the ability to consider all the
Speaker 1: evidence and make a determination as to whether or not
Speaker 1: Pantelios should have been held criminally responsible. There was nothing
Speaker 1: y'all could have done well while I was there as
Speaker 1: a g I mean, the case just wasn't formed, that
Speaker 1: wasn't at a place where we could make a decision.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, as I said, just to be frank,
Speaker 1: I think it could have been resolved during the Obama years,
Speaker 1: I think, but for whatever reason, you know, it was not.
Speaker 1: It should have been. You did you feel like y'all
Speaker 1: fell asleep at the will because y'all thought Hillary was
Speaker 1: going to be the next president, so you thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: if we don't handle it, then the next administration will.
Speaker 1: But you didn't think the next administration would be this administration.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, I don't know exactly what
Speaker 1: happened within the Justice Department and why a decision wasn't
Speaker 1: made um, but I think there was certainly sufficient amounts
Speaker 1: of time for a decision to be made. It shouldn't
Speaker 1: have been left for the next administration. You think up
Speaker 1: until this point, the Nancy Pelosi and the House things
Speaker 1: have been being cowardly when it comes to Donald Trump. No,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. UM. I think that. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: one of the things I would have talked about if
Speaker 1: I'd run is that we got to be prepared to fight.
Speaker 1: You know, this is not a time. If he's gonna
Speaker 1: break norms, Um, and he has, this is not a
Speaker 1: time to think that we can fight back in a
Speaker 1: normal way. Um. We got to be prepared to be tough,
Speaker 1: to fight to bring some New York to um this
Speaker 1: this campaign, and um, we're part of New York. He's
Speaker 1: from New York too, so he's ready to fight back.
Speaker 1: We're part of New York. Hey, what part of New
Speaker 1: York is not tough? You know? I mean, think about it, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens,
Speaker 1: you know, stat nil, I don't know about that. But
Speaker 1: you know, all right, exactly that Sometimes think that's more
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. But that's all right, that's fine. We'll
Speaker 1: let him hang. We'll let him hang. Does it bother
Speaker 1: you if you when you have a Google your name
Speaker 1: and the other rick Hold that comes up that the
Speaker 1: Nipsey Hustle. Does that bother the ish out of you? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember the night that happened. My daughter sent me
Speaker 1: a text and said, wow, did you see killed Nipsey Hustle?
Speaker 1: You got your name? And that's thought she was kidding,
Speaker 1: you know, And I woke up the next day and now, yeah,
Speaker 1: I google my name and so all right, that's uh,
Speaker 1: it's the other erd, you know. You know, I liked Nipsey.
Speaker 1: He's not even another air Holder. He just like he's
Speaker 1: just something else, you got to say, the other Eric Holder.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, just a guy whose name having to
Speaker 1: be air Cold. Yeah. Yeah, it's uh, that's unfortunate. I
Speaker 1: mean because Nipsey seemed to be a guy who was
Speaker 1: on the verge of I think it was already in
Speaker 1: the middle of doing some really positive things, and uh,
Speaker 1: we need people like that, you know. Um we're looking
Speaker 1: now at what the twenty fifth anniversary of you know,
Speaker 1: Ready to Die, and I think about Biggie and as
Speaker 1: good as he was, um, you know, the future that
Speaker 1: was denied him as a result of same thing with
Speaker 1: you know, with Tupac. Now you know, now Nipsey Nipsy,
Speaker 1: So it's uh sad, It's kind of sad to think
Speaker 1: about that. Do you follow everything that's going on in
Speaker 1: hip hop? Talk about nowhere Coast rappers without mentioned in bigge?
Speaker 1: Huh you just had New York it's the twenty fi.
Speaker 1: I said Biggie first before I talked about Tupac. You know, now,
Speaker 1: do you follow? Do you respect to the West Coast guys? Though?
Speaker 1: You know, I like Dre, I like those guys. You
Speaker 1: see what's happening with Takashi six nine and him on
Speaker 1: a stand? Yeah? What what do you think about that?
Speaker 1: What do you think about snitching? I'm just curious, Eric
Speaker 1: don't remember? Yeah, remember I'm a prosecutor. No, you're curious.
Speaker 1: You all call it. I call it a person's cooperating wits,
Speaker 1: you know, I call it help? You know, thank you?
Speaker 1: I mean, so, if the guy is trying to cut
Speaker 1: a deal to you know, less than the amount of
Speaker 1: time he's gonna spend in jail, and it's gonna hold
Speaker 1: people responsible for doing things that were antisocial and you know,
Speaker 1: harm people, you know, I think that's that's what er.
Speaker 1: Do you think you'll get jail time? More jail time.
Speaker 1: I should say, what do you think you'll get time
Speaker 1: served as much he was talking? I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know he'll he'll get less jail time I think
Speaker 1: than he otherwise would have. Um, maybe you'll end up
Speaker 1: in the Witness Protection program. What is that? Though? They
Speaker 1: really like move you to Wyoming, and they move they
Speaker 1: move you to places, give you a new name, give
Speaker 1: you all kinds of you know, it's only like two years, right,
Speaker 1: and then I can't talk about it an awful lot.
Speaker 1: But I mean the amount of time you spend there
Speaker 1: can be substantially greater than two years. You know, you
Speaker 1: get a job because he can't work with the big
Speaker 1: six nine on his forehead. He can get that removed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, tattoo remove. I got all mind taking off,
Speaker 1: did you? I had a Mike Tyson thing. You know
Speaker 1: this is gone now you don't see. So they can
Speaker 1: change your whole identity and image and everything but your image.
Speaker 1: But they can certainly give you, you know, um, new
Speaker 1: birth certificate, new social Security number, all kinds of stuff
Speaker 1: to me. And then you do you have to still pay.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's like, hey, I'm thinking, if you
Speaker 1: if you have debt. Do you still have to pay
Speaker 1: that money with the new Social Security number? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's why there there has been that issue. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, if you know somebody ten thousand dollars and
Speaker 1: then suddenly PuF, you know you're you're gone. Um, what
Speaker 1: is that? What is that person? That's a good way
Speaker 1: to get out of student loan. All you students out
Speaker 1: there to join the Witness Protection the program. This is
Speaker 1: the arag holder student relief program. Joining the join the
Speaker 1: Witness Protection program. Everybody's talking about canceling student. I got
Speaker 1: a new way of doing it. Right. There we go,
Speaker 1: There we go. My final question, how does this Donald
Speaker 1: Trump saga in? I think it ends with his defeat
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty or his impeachment um and conviction. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't take off the table the possibility of
Speaker 1: a conviction. I certainly think he's going to be impeached.
Speaker 1: I think that that's certainly going to happen. History will
Speaker 1: be very unkind um to this president. Yes, it will
Speaker 1: be seen as a corrupt administration that you know, really
Speaker 1: strained the alliances that we've had with our closest neighbors,
Speaker 1: with allies we've had since World War Two. Um, he's
Speaker 1: favored the special interest over the people. He's put climate
Speaker 1: um at risk. He's divided the nation. He's played race
Speaker 1: for um political gain. History is not gonna be kind
Speaker 1: to uh to. Donald Trump's gonna make for a great movie.
Speaker 1: Tell brother in Obama about the rights to it with
Speaker 1: his Netflix do there we go? Well, Eric Holder, we
Speaker 1: appreciate you for joining us. Well, it's good to be
Speaker 1: here with y'all. Thank you so much. Sara Colda, Get
Speaker 1: out of vote. That's right, get out and vote. It's
Speaker 1: the breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody's DJ MVY. Angela Ye,
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. Let's get
Speaker 1: to the rumors. Let's talk Charlemagne the Guard. What this
Speaker 1: is the Ruble report with Angela Breast Club. So listen
Speaker 1: that last week we reported a story about Nick Cannon
Speaker 1: doing a talk show, and Charlemagne had this to say.
Speaker 1: I just said, I don't think that he's gonna stick
Speaker 1: around and do morning radio if you get to daytime
Speaker 1: talk show. All right, Well, Nick Cannon responded to this.
Speaker 1: He's just doing what he's supposed to do. He's playing
Speaker 1: the position of being skeptical seeing both sides of it.
Speaker 1: And everyone knows that. You know, I do a lot
Speaker 1: of things, but I'm here to prove everybody wrong. I
Speaker 1: love radio, I love This Morning Joe, and I'm not
Speaker 1: going anywhere regardless of what jobs that I get, because
Speaker 1: of you guys in my family. What he says, it's
Speaker 1: a bad idea. I don't. I don't know he's referring to.
Speaker 1: But I think what he's trying to say is that
Speaker 1: I'm spread thin. That's how I move. I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: talk about it. I don't make analysis. I just make moves.
Speaker 1: I actually said, this is why you don't hire Nick
Speaker 1: Cannon to do morning radio. But I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 1: a hater. I think NIX people in the Nick might
Speaker 1: have said I was a hater that we just played
Speaker 1: well on his Instagram, he said, Dad, you are his
Speaker 1: hater friends? He said, how many of us have them?
Speaker 1: New terms? Should we call hater friends? Hate your friends,
Speaker 1: he says, or freighters, which is friendly haters? He said,
Speaker 1: Charlemagne and many others in my life that I love
Speaker 1: and deal with daily or constantly feel me for greatness.
Speaker 1: I just want to say thank you and hold my
Speaker 1: beer Well. First of all, mckelvy aka Charlemagne and God
Speaker 1: is far from Hayter. I root for my folks, especially
Speaker 1: black men in media, but I'm also a realist. Okay.
Speaker 1: So to be clear, all I'm simply saying is I
Speaker 1: don't think Nick Cannon is gonna stick around and do
Speaker 1: morning radio. We've seen the good brother Nick Cannon have
Speaker 1: his own morning show before. Nick us to do mornings
Speaker 1: on ninety two three now here in New York back
Speaker 1: in twenty ten. He did that for like two years.
Speaker 1: Yeah when we started, he was he was all radio
Speaker 1: when we started. Yeah, so he did it from like
Speaker 1: twenty ten to twenty twelve. Um. And so there's no
Speaker 1: hate when I say Knick Nack gonna stick around and
Speaker 1: to do morning radio. It's just based off his history
Speaker 1: in radio. I just don't think he is. I just
Speaker 1: tell Nick, I think Nick's just gonna go with the check.
Speaker 1: Wherever the check goes, I think that's where Nick gonna go.
Speaker 1: But his co host was like, oh, why I defend Charlemagne?
Speaker 1: Why are you defending him? And he's so fis. It
Speaker 1: doesn't mean everybody has those type of friends that are
Speaker 1: always like you think you shine it. Are you balling? Now?
Speaker 1: You got a little nice little car. They put a
Speaker 1: little in front of everything. Little car got a new
Speaker 1: little job. Charlemagne's now Charlomagne has been issued on Nick
Speaker 1: Cannon every time, every time Nick Cannon puts out the
Speaker 1: record you hit you, I want you to stop. I
Speaker 1: want you to stop for one second and think about
Speaker 1: what you just said. That is not bashing, nor is
Speaker 1: it hate. The only thing I've ever spoken on when
Speaker 1: it comes to Nick Cannon, I guess in the negative
Speaker 1: fashion is when he raps. That is true. Now raise
Speaker 1: your hand if you like Nick cannons wraps in this room, Okay,
Speaker 1: drapmost is the only person, all right, out of out
Speaker 1: of one, two, three, four or five six people. So
Speaker 1: is everybody who didn't raise the hand hating? I know,
Speaker 1: but I did like one song. No you didn't. I
Speaker 1: did what song? We don't play right now? We don't
Speaker 1: we don't play that? Is it there? Please let it
Speaker 1: be in there, Please let it be in there. It's
Speaker 1: not there. Damn it. Man. This is a very terrible
Speaker 1: produced show. I just want to I've been we should
Speaker 1: have had it up, but hey, I can't call it
Speaker 1: terribly producer Nick can't didn't want to show has better.
Speaker 1: Producers want to throw that out right, It was Jiggolo.
Speaker 1: I like Jigglo. You like Jiggolo. We all like Jiggolo.
Speaker 1: It's not even in the system calling for stuff that's
Speaker 1: not there. Maybe it's Envy's fault. Maybe if you'd told
Speaker 1: the producers they had, they would have had to show
Speaker 1: this is not this is not my my thing. I
Speaker 1: don't do. You have to tell the produces what you want, Envy,
Speaker 1: all right now. Charlemagne also spoke to Kevin Love about
Speaker 1: mental health and this has had his conversation with the
Speaker 1: opposite of happiness is hopelessness. Hopelessness is, like to say,
Speaker 1: like at the root of anxiety and mental illness depression.
Speaker 1: This is not an overstatement. Chronic anxiety is a crisis
Speaker 1: of hope. It is the fear of a failed future,
Speaker 1: whereas depression is a crisis of hope because it is
Speaker 1: the belief in a meaningless future. Oh, A lot of
Speaker 1: that sentiment came from a book titled Everything Is That
Speaker 1: Was That? Ninety two? Wild last week? Right, great conversation
Speaker 1: about mental health. He also speaks about happiness. I felt
Speaker 1: like I had no real hope in my future. I
Speaker 1: had blinders on. Sometimes when you're in it like that,
Speaker 1: you just don't feel it. You don't see it until
Speaker 1: somebody has to like smack you across the head and say, hey, listen,
Speaker 1: like everybody's seeing this. I happened to read like a
Speaker 1: cheap on myself, so I always wear it. But that's
Speaker 1: kind of what I'm getting at us. Ever since I
Speaker 1: was young, you know, it's been like a weighted vest
Speaker 1: I can even feel it now. I wake up every
Speaker 1: single day, uh, and make a choice that I'm going
Speaker 1: to change the relationship that I have with with you know,
Speaker 1: mental illness and depression and anxiety and so on and
Speaker 1: so forth. Dropping a clue bump from my guy Kevin Love,
Speaker 1: that's my god, man, did you ever get down to
Speaker 1: the root of it why he feels that way when
Speaker 1: he wakes up his anxiety? Yeah, and him not being
Speaker 1: necessary happy and sometimes depressed. I think he's figuring it
Speaker 1: out now. You know. It's a process. You know, I
Speaker 1: think that anxiety is like any any anything else in life,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: actually ever figure out what it is. I think you
Speaker 1: might know your triggers. You know what I'm saying now.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the other day that sometimes you depressed. What
Speaker 1: what makes you depressed? This show jazz? Let me ask
Speaker 1: you a question. Do you like Nick Cannon? A rapper? Microphone?
Speaker 1: JA say this if answered this one simple question that
Speaker 1: Mic is on Jeff, Do you like Nick Cannon as
Speaker 1: a rapper? I do not like Nick Cannon as a rapper,
Speaker 1: but he's great at everything else. He is an amazing actor,
Speaker 1: an amazing businessman. Absolutely. I just want to throw that
Speaker 1: out there, so that's not hate. No, no, no, you
Speaker 1: like jiggolo. I did not love Nickcannon as a person
Speaker 1: and a businessman, not as a rapper. All right, Well
Speaker 1: that is your rumor report, and that's not hate, all right, Charlemagne,
Speaker 1: it's not bashing him since day one, Leonard, Yes, who
Speaker 1: are giving that donkey to you? Four? After the hour?
Speaker 1: I would like to give a donkey of the day
Speaker 1: to the four people who decided to escape from Ohio
Speaker 1: jail because I don't know what the hell they wanted
Speaker 1: to escape for, but we'll talk about it, all right.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that next Keep a lock this to
Speaker 1: breakfast club. Good morning. Let me be a dusty because
Speaker 1: right now you want some real It's time for Donkey
Speaker 1: of the day. So if we ever feel I need
Speaker 1: to be any man with the heat, did she getting
Speaker 1: I had become donkey of the day to practice club bitches? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Doc here today from Monday, September thirtieth, goes to Ford,
Speaker 1: North Carolina men named Lawrence Lee, Troy McDaniel, Christopher Clemente,
Speaker 1: and Brian Martin. Now, these guys were all locked up
Speaker 1: in an Ohio jail. No, they're not North Carolina men. Yes,
Speaker 1: they're from Ohio. I'm bugging yes, But yeah, they were
Speaker 1: all locked up in an Ohio jail, and they escape
Speaker 1: from that jail Sunday morning after overpowering two female guards
Speaker 1: with a homemade knife. I don't know why they let
Speaker 1: the police officers in this jail have weapons that arnist
Speaker 1: Strong his homemade nihs But whatever, Now, why did these
Speaker 1: guys escape jail? If you are escaping jail, then you
Speaker 1: must be facing a life sentences or the death penalty.
Speaker 1: Right to take that kind of chance, that kind of risk,
Speaker 1: they'll have more charges to your docket. To face more
Speaker 1: jail time for attempting to escape, Then you must be
Speaker 1: charged for crimes that are gonna put you under the
Speaker 1: jail forever. Right wrong, Okay. Lee was being held on
Speaker 1: a charge of identity for aud Clemente on a charge
Speaker 1: of aiding and abetting another and committing a crime, and
Speaker 1: Martin on charges of failure to appear an escape. It's
Speaker 1: unclear what McDaniel was being held on. Let's break this down.
Speaker 1: Ohio identity theft law characterizes the crime as a felony
Speaker 1: punishable by one to eleven years in prison, nothing not doable,
Speaker 1: third degree felony nine months ten years in prison and
Speaker 1: a ten thousand dollars fine for fraud resulting in seventy five,
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in losses aiding and
Speaker 1: a betting. A charge of accessory after the fact is
Speaker 1: punishable as follows up to a five thousand dollars fine
Speaker 1: and are up to one year in jail if you
Speaker 1: are convicted of a misdemeanor up to three years in jail.
Speaker 1: If you are convicted of a felony for failure to
Speaker 1: appear in court, the penalty as a fine of up
Speaker 1: to ten thousand dollars in three years in county jail.
Speaker 1: Failure to appear may also be considered contemptive court, which,
Speaker 1: similar to a criminal conviction, can result in both fines
Speaker 1: in jail time. None of these consequences for said crime
Speaker 1: sound escape from jailworthy, all right. In fact of the
Speaker 1: whole thing, a police officer with a homemade knife and
Speaker 1: escaping from jail, We'll probably landing you more time than
Speaker 1: any of those crimes you committed. But no need for
Speaker 1: anyone to worry, because they have already been caught. Let's
Speaker 1: go to WRC NBC four for a report to hear
Speaker 1: what happened. Police took three of the suspects in a
Speaker 1: custody at a hotel outside of Rally around two this morning.
Speaker 1: Investigators found the fugitives in the parking lot and three
Speaker 1: they're surrendered peacefully. Now that the suspects who escaped our
Speaker 1: thirty year old Troy McDaniel Junior, forty year old brind Martin,
Speaker 1: twenty four year old Christopher clemente In, twenty nine year
Speaker 1: old Lawrence Lee the third. We know that Lee is
Speaker 1: still on the rundays this morning. We're working to confirm
Speaker 1: all of the people who have been apprehended down The
Speaker 1: Sheriff's office says the four inmates all escape Sunday morning
Speaker 1: from the Gallea County jail, and they likely had to
Speaker 1: help from at least one person on the outside. Now,
Speaker 1: the men overpowered two female corrections officers with a homemade
Speaker 1: weapon and then stole one of the officers car keys
Speaker 1: and drove it about a block where another car was
Speaker 1: waiting for them down. The sheriff says that the jail
Speaker 1: cells there don't lock to make more room for inmates.
Speaker 1: He also acknowledges that it desperately needs some improvements. Now.
Speaker 1: The US Marshall's Office is offering twenty five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: per inmate for information leading to the arrests. And we
Speaker 1: still know that Lawrence the third is still on the
Speaker 1: run this morning. So you can cock this whole plan
Speaker 1: to escape from jail only to get caught in a
Speaker 1: red roof and in North Carolina. Not to mention, only
Speaker 1: one of y'all had the bright idea to separate from
Speaker 1: the pack. First thing you should do in situations like
Speaker 1: this is split up. But no, you three wanted to
Speaker 1: go to the red roof and in North Carolina with
Speaker 1: each other to have big fun. Now, if there were
Speaker 1: no women with y'all in this red roof, and whatever
Speaker 1: you were doing in that hotel, you could have been
Speaker 1: doing in jail. Okay, I've stated a red roof in before.
Speaker 1: I've also been in jail. Not much difference other than
Speaker 1: the whole freedom thing. All right. The marl of this
Speaker 1: story is Law twenty nine and the forty eight Laws
Speaker 1: of power. Planning all the way to the end. The
Speaker 1: ending is everything, planning all the way to it, taking
Speaker 1: into account all the possible consequences, obstacles, and twist of fortune.
Speaker 1: By planning to the end, you will not be overwhelmed
Speaker 1: by circumstances, and you will know when to stop. These
Speaker 1: four guys who escape from this jail in Ohio should
Speaker 1: have stopped that. Hey, bro, let's plan a way to
Speaker 1: escape this joint. Please give Lawrence Lee, Troy McDaniel, Christopher Clemente,
Speaker 1: and Brian Martin the sweet sons of the Hamletones. Oh
Speaker 1: now you are gee the da gee, oh the day?
Speaker 1: Ye all right, just now was a good time to
Speaker 1: play a little quick game of guess what race to days?
Speaker 1: All right? Four guys escape from an Ohio jail. Farther
Speaker 1: state gout was North Carolina, Red roofing, not a stitcher
Speaker 1: va giant insight, DJ envy, guess what race to days?
Speaker 1: It's a tough one. Really yeah, I don't think they
Speaker 1: were all the same race. I mean I think Martin
Speaker 1: was white, Clemente was Latino, Troy was black, and Lawrence
Speaker 1: was white. Really yeah, that's what I think, Stephen, Stephen
Speaker 1: the white demon. You wanna get in on this. Four
Speaker 1: guys escape from all yo jail. Far as they get
Speaker 1: was North Carolina, red roof and not a stitch of
Speaker 1: a giant insight. And they had a guitar. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: didn't say I have to get to a part. No,
Speaker 1: I didn't have a guitar. I know the answer here,
Speaker 1: look wanting me to stay here? Oh man, I don't
Speaker 1: want you to tell me what's on your heart. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a lot of white collar crime there. But that
Speaker 1: that drug trafficking one's definitely a Latino. That's what I said.
Speaker 1: That was receiving stolen property. That could be black or white.
Speaker 1: Clemente Latino, Troy fell into a pan. And be honest
Speaker 1: with you, I don't know what they are now. I
Speaker 1: thought all of them was white, But y'all got me
Speaker 1: thinking the Clemente might be Yeah, you ever heard a
Speaker 1: white president Clemente? They picked up remote, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Let's see white, white white the second one. Look Latino,
Speaker 1: it's a white Latino. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's clement Man
Speaker 1: got the ponytown. Yeah yeah. See. All right, okay, we're
Speaker 1: just gonna chalk this up to call Cassidy though. We're
Speaker 1: not gonna drag the Latinos into this one. All right,
Speaker 1: all right, all right. When we come back, Forest Whittaker
Speaker 1: will be joining us. We'll kick it with Forrest whit
Speaker 1: because it don't move. It's the breakfast Cloak of morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club pointing. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee,
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got
Speaker 1: a special guest in the building, Sir, Forest Whittaker. Good
Speaker 1: to be here, welcome. Now are we actually talking to Forest?
Speaker 1: This is brother Ken. You know that's not really people
Speaker 1: talking about that on the net, but it really is
Speaker 1: two pitches of me. God, damn idiot. I was like,
Speaker 1: y'all look all right, So y'all really don't look that
Speaker 1: much alike? No, really, no, got you? Well, moving right along,
Speaker 1: all right, let's talk to God. Father of Harlem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that tell us about this flay. We followed Bumpy Johnson
Speaker 1: who comes out of prison, goes back into Harlem to
Speaker 1: be able to try to reclaim his territories. He's been
Speaker 1: in way for about eleven years. We get a chance
Speaker 1: to see him and his family. You know, was Ilfinessa
Speaker 1: plays my wife and you know, just him like rebuilding
Speaker 1: his life and rebuilding instruction of fighting against the Italian Mob,
Speaker 1: which is done body Vincent Dinafio and Chaz polmin Terry
Speaker 1: and fossil Vino because of the guys who were against
Speaker 1: And I think what's interesting about it is, uh it
Speaker 1: deals with like crime in the civil rights movement because
Speaker 1: it talks about the relationship between Bumpy and Malcolm Max,
Speaker 1: which is I think is a little known relationship. How
Speaker 1: do you do your your homework and prepare for this
Speaker 1: movie here? You know, I started reading stuff first just
Speaker 1: to try to understand what the time was understanding history.
Speaker 1: Then I started interviewing guys too, Like it was a
Speaker 1: couple of guys in Harlem and older guys that was
Speaker 1: working with Bumping when they were in the mob. You know,
Speaker 1: um named Chisholm and June bug and I and a
Speaker 1: black Mob gotta have a Joan Buck. He was a
Speaker 1: great guy, really helped me out. And then the guy
Speaker 1: that the professor Smalls was like he took over the
Speaker 1: mosque after Malcolm. He was like explaining to me a
Speaker 1: lot of different things, and and then just trying to
Speaker 1: understand the political climate of the day because you know
Speaker 1: Adam Clayton is in there too. You know, Nigel Thatch
Speaker 1: is amazing. I want to say, Nigel thatches. Malcolm Max
Speaker 1: is like crazy good. John Hallo x Mesito plays Adam
Speaker 1: Clayton Pollan. He does an amazing, amazing job. How do
Speaker 1: you relate to the story a bumpy Johnson like you
Speaker 1: personally when you look at that particular struggle, how do
Speaker 1: you relate to it? I mean I can relate to
Speaker 1: like trying to excel and trying to succeed and the
Speaker 1: things that block you in your way and what you
Speaker 1: need to do. I think that when watched the show itself,
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't feel like dated because he's dealing
Speaker 1: with a lot of issues that we're having right now.
Speaker 1: It's dealing with like opiate crisis, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: what's going on with what's happening in the community. It's stilling,
Speaker 1: it's dealing with a lot of like polarization of black
Speaker 1: white or you know, this happening in the country is
Speaker 1: dealing with like you'll see like as a protest, going
Speaker 1: about the human rights issues and stuff with Lease, what
Speaker 1: they're doing with the community and to the brothers in
Speaker 1: the community and profiling to all these different things. For me,
Speaker 1: I relate to. It's it's immediate, it's real. You seem
Speaker 1: like such a gentle giant would like, how did you
Speaker 1: get into the role of a gangster? You know, I've
Speaker 1: played a lot of fun I've played a few Oh yeah, idiot,
Speaker 1: I mean forget it. Yeah, after I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, yeah, I just you know, you just kind
Speaker 1: of like try to figure out that we've heard what
Speaker 1: the what motivates the person and how they behave things
Speaker 1: just happened in their lives, and then slowly something starts
Speaker 1: to happen and it comes a lot the character starts
Speaker 1: to come alive. What do you tap into though, Like
Speaker 1: you got some old trauma or something that that makes
Speaker 1: you dark. I don't you know, I use I use
Speaker 1: my own stuff for my past, and I use my imagination,
Speaker 1: you know, and then something happens in the universe where
Speaker 1: you start to force all that information inside of you,
Speaker 1: and then the transformation starts to happen on its own.
Speaker 1: How you get that get out? You though? How do
Speaker 1: you get it out once you do it? I'm not
Speaker 1: sure you get it all out, you know, you get
Speaker 1: parts of it stay with you as if you like
Speaker 1: living a new life again, like you're reincarnating again. You
Speaker 1: remember some things, you know, like now you've set this
Speaker 1: phrase a certain way for a long time, and then
Speaker 1: from the you know, for your life, you start seeing
Speaker 1: the phrase a different way. You start seeing something differently,
Speaker 1: but about the people around you. But like enough, Dad,
Speaker 1: all right, Dad, Like let's get out. You're not bumpy today.
Speaker 1: And I had that when I was working on the
Speaker 1: Last King, when I would talk to them from Africa
Speaker 1: and I would be on the phone and I would
Speaker 1: be not even realizing I'm using kind but maybe God, yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly exactly, go on, dad, stop. But it's better to
Speaker 1: stay in the road or when you're when you're actually shooting,
Speaker 1: it's better just to always stay in that zone. Having
Speaker 1: not to your kids. Yeah, if you're playing like certain
Speaker 1: kind of characters that require it. Everybody, every character doesn't
Speaker 1: require you to do that. You're always should part of
Speaker 1: you is always sort of in that space, but you're
Speaker 1: not necessarily fully consumed. In the case of like The
Speaker 1: Last King or something, that was something where even when
Speaker 1: I was dreaming, I was sort of dreaming as a person.
Speaker 1: It was kind of twenty four seven. So that's probably
Speaker 1: the hardest one to get get out of you. That
Speaker 1: was a tough one. Wasn't this hard? You know? It's
Speaker 1: harder like when I did a movie a long time
Speaker 1: ago called Bird about Charlie Parker. That was harder for me. Actually,
Speaker 1: it was more it was difficult to get the emotional feelings.
Speaker 1: He was a heroin attic and I like went to
Speaker 1: like some really dark places to try to understand like
Speaker 1: how he was feeling and stay with me for a minute.
Speaker 1: And you know, like the other one to stay with
Speaker 1: me for a minute too, is like when you play
Speaker 1: characters have mental health issues, schizophrenia, bipolar issues, those kind
Speaker 1: of things are really difficult as they are in real life.
Speaker 1: But you start playing around with your neurology in your mind,
Speaker 1: then you sometimes thinks a while to get it to
Speaker 1: like realign itself. Two things like Oscar has mattered to you,
Speaker 1: Like when you're playing a role, do you and people
Speaker 1: are like, this is gonna earn him an Oscar? Or
Speaker 1: do you think about those things? Now that's a mistake,
Speaker 1: you know. I think you have to figure out what
Speaker 1: you want to do and why and why you want
Speaker 1: to say it, how much you want to give them
Speaker 1: that's it, and try to do something special and those
Speaker 1: things happen. That's a bonus or some sort if you
Speaker 1: if you strive for it. A lot of times you
Speaker 1: missed it. The story on the way so after you
Speaker 1: did Last King of Scotland and watch it and say, man,
Speaker 1: that might be Oscar worthy. People were saying that, you know,
Speaker 1: when I'm working on the on the parts, So did
Speaker 1: you personally feel like I gotta be honest, that's that's
Speaker 1: those are not drivers for me, just forwards and I
Speaker 1: drives for me. I've been I mean, it's he's just
Speaker 1: say I guess. I mean, I've been fortunate, I've been
Speaker 1: acknowledged for my work and you've got one on a
Speaker 1: lot of different things. But that's that's not driver for me.
Speaker 1: My My thing was, like you know, every time I
Speaker 1: play a character, I get to explore, like the human condition,
Speaker 1: that I get to understand another person and understand how
Speaker 1: they connect to me, and that that was what I
Speaker 1: was doing all along. I've been doing that since I started.
Speaker 1: That's the reason why I started doing it, and I've
Speaker 1: been and whenever I step aside from not doing that,
Speaker 1: then something goes wrong. But what about when you just
Speaker 1: when you take a step back and you look at
Speaker 1: you just staying at that oscar at the house and
Speaker 1: be like, well, I'm a black man who want to
Speaker 1: ask her for best acting like it's not a lot
Speaker 1: although ask her so white. H Yeah, I gotta be honest.
Speaker 1: I really don't think about it at all. Wow, what
Speaker 1: are some stories that you feel like haven't been told yet?
Speaker 1: They need to be told. I think it was some
Speaker 1: more films to try to make you understand issues with
Speaker 1: mental health and stuff and how it affects us in
Speaker 1: the community and how it affects as a people itself.
Speaker 1: You know, what do you do the statementally healthy? I
Speaker 1: do meditate, Um, I do do some movement, you know.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I haven't been doing much lush slash a couple
Speaker 1: of years. Normally I do. Yeah, now, Swiss Speeds is
Speaker 1: the musical director of the series. Now, how did he
Speaker 1: get involved with the project? I did. I did reach
Speaker 1: out to him and speak to him and out and
Speaker 1: see if he would be if he would be willing
Speaker 1: to commit to something like this because he said he
Speaker 1: usually doesn't do this, he said it takes too much time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he really stepped up big time. I mean, did so
Speaker 1: many amazing songs, put together this writing lab and had
Speaker 1: everybody together and bringing different artists in so this. You know,
Speaker 1: most great portions of the songs were written for the
Speaker 1: film itself. But I did get a chance to go
Speaker 1: up and watch a lot. I was up there quite
Speaker 1: a bit. How did you get to check out and
Speaker 1: meet I didn't see rich Z, you know, Buddy h
Speaker 1: Di Dinner. It was great. There was some amazing artists
Speaker 1: that on the soundtrack. They really helped make the show.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think every week on the show probably
Speaker 1: it's two new songs that come out that are used.
Speaker 1: And it was it was important for me, like as
Speaker 1: a producer, like that the show got to keep making
Speaker 1: be authentic and true, but that the music itself, like
Speaker 1: there was exterior that was surrounding it would allow you
Speaker 1: to realize those feelings today. And that's done by the
Speaker 1: artists that the Swiss was able to pull together to
Speaker 1: be able to do an amazing soundtrack. We got more
Speaker 1: with Forest Whittaker when we come back Don't Move. It's
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, Good Morning, putting everybody. It's DJ Envy
Speaker 1: and Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we all the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club was still kicking it with Forest Whittaker. Charlomagne as
Speaker 1: a director. He was talking about waiting next to Heaven.
Speaker 1: When you look back on Scrapped, When you look back
Speaker 1: on that, how do you feel about that project that
Speaker 1: was made? I love doing I shot that in New York.
Speaker 1: It was most of the actors were news like ninety
Speaker 1: cents percent of them and never yeah. And then there
Speaker 1: was a lot of like busting, a lot of different
Speaker 1: artists too, the music artists that were playing different parts
Speaker 1: in the show. And how was an amazing growth time
Speaker 1: for me as an artist, you know, to learn how
Speaker 1: to shoot that film and try to capture the power
Speaker 1: of it. And I just said, I remember what Fragio
Speaker 1: I was trying. He was between the group Onyx and
Speaker 1: so he had already had a voice that was really
Speaker 1: you know, rebellious voice, and so that voice became part
Speaker 1: of the system in the show itself and it worked
Speaker 1: out really good. It was an easy coaching them as
Speaker 1: a director. Yeah, I had a great time working with them.
Speaker 1: They were I mean yo yo, and everybody's so many
Speaker 1: different people that were working on that and uh and
Speaker 1: Jem SJ Was working on the music for me and stuff.
Speaker 1: So yeah, like a hip hop head, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I feel too very sat for you guys, your territory.
Speaker 1: Just what's your favorite hip hop group of all time?
Speaker 1: Of all time? I guess Tupac did some really great stuff. Okay,
Speaker 1: you know there's a lot of great artists and it's
Speaker 1: your territory. I mean, hip hop is black coature. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm just saying, I mean, never mind, how do
Speaker 1: you need to say that? Because I have worked with
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of artists and stuff that I've
Speaker 1: been really fortunate they done some amazing work. Do you
Speaker 1: consider your personal values when it comes to accepting a role.
Speaker 1: I always consider, you know, what I'm doing, what I'm
Speaker 1: saying and stuff, what I'm playing a part, you know,
Speaker 1: and even not just the part. What did the project
Speaker 1: is seeing itself. I think it's important to like say
Speaker 1: true to you, true yourself and with your true to
Speaker 1: your ideals and stuff, and realize that, you know, you
Speaker 1: have impact impacting different people's lives and stuff, and you
Speaker 1: got to have some conscious around that. Is there anything
Speaker 1: you've ever turned down because of your personal beliefs values?
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, I'm just not good at like pulling
Speaker 1: out of the hat. Like obviously you've discovered that as
Speaker 1: I did sing I started started in music. Now that
Speaker 1: seems like a surprise. Now, That's why I wanted to
Speaker 1: make sure that was like the story about your brother
Speaker 1: you he did football and opera at the same time.
Speaker 1: I can see football opera. I was staying classical voice.
Speaker 1: And actually I got my first agent as an act
Speaker 1: diffrom an opera, light opera. I just did a musical,
Speaker 1: you know yeah in London with UH with Dave Talbot.
Speaker 1: It's called the Jingle Jangle. So you're so soft spoker,
Speaker 1: So I can't see you. Come on just one a
Speaker 1: little bit, albums one a little bit. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I nah nah, yeah, but I didn't I try. I
Speaker 1: when I when I when I was when I had
Speaker 1: to do the show them the musical. I was I
Speaker 1: was nervous I wouldn't be able to still sing. But
Speaker 1: who worked out it? We can't he a little bit,
Speaker 1: it's a little, a little one. Nope, nah nah, he's
Speaker 1: thinking about Now what a Swiss said, we want you
Speaker 1: to do a song for the soundtrack. Guyfather'd been like,
Speaker 1: what what do you want me to do? Switz? People
Speaker 1: get you up for features now, yeah, I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: for us with it on the hook. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: when that one comes when uh, honestly, I feel like
Speaker 1: Jingle Jangs can be one of the movies I've done. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it's a musical and they're making it into a movie.
Speaker 1: Also it's a movie, musical movie. He was shot as
Speaker 1: a movie. Okay, so it's uh, we'll see what happens now,
Speaker 1: Black Panther. You saw how much that movie meant to
Speaker 1: the coachure easy to get emotionally attached to it. What
Speaker 1: dad said, were you upset that they killed you? Often? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think that. You know, he's a spiritual
Speaker 1: to the leader of the community. So it's kind of
Speaker 1: always like as major laws, not just for me as
Speaker 1: an actor. But um, I don't know where I amn't
Speaker 1: talked to Ryan about what he's playing on doing exactly. Maybe,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not getting resurrected. I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. They do have a resurrection altar. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm a comic book guy, so they have a resurrection
Speaker 1: altar in Wallkandum, So it's possible. I mean you saw
Speaker 1: already like that he was visiting his father and stuff,
Speaker 1: I mean being a spirit and stuff like that. It's like, uh,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I love that. This is an
Speaker 1: amazing obviously amazing movie, an amazing project. It's happy that
Speaker 1: I was involved with it. I got a chance to
Speaker 1: be involved as like a lot of those kind of
Speaker 1: moments of movies, like the waiting to exhales or the
Speaker 1: you know, scrap class Scraps as a classic brow It
Speaker 1: wasn't nobody to say what was your childhood? Like how
Speaker 1: did you even get into the acting world. I was
Speaker 1: born in Texas. I was raised in South central to
Speaker 1: I was Buddy Leven and then in the you know,
Speaker 1: in California. Then we moved out to Carson and the
Speaker 1: Carston Compton line. I was studying, you know, just just
Speaker 1: like normal living during the whole period of time where
Speaker 1: was the birth of the gangs and birth of the
Speaker 1: crypt and bloods. And that was kind of shaping myself
Speaker 1: because that sent me across town. I had some problems
Speaker 1: with some of the gangs there, so I had to
Speaker 1: be sent to another part of town. And that changed
Speaker 1: my life and I started to like get into music
Speaker 1: and stuff, and the music led me into acting and
Speaker 1: then gangs. Like why why did the gangs have a
Speaker 1: problem with you because you didn't want to join or
Speaker 1: they like did something sort of violent and like it
Speaker 1: was protesting and like fighting back, and so then it
Speaker 1: was a question of like meeting them after you know,
Speaker 1: the meet meet after school in that case was like
Speaker 1: more like a gangs, guns and stuff like that. So
Speaker 1: in order to be safe, my mom was a teacher,
Speaker 1: and so she decided to move me on. I was
Speaker 1: going to school in Compton and she sent me across
Speaker 1: to another part of town. Did you ever feel pressured
Speaker 1: to join us? Set? No, never, No. I knew lots
Speaker 1: of guys who are but it wasn't that wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: be me. I mean, even even that event that happened
Speaker 1: was a part of that, you know, like they were
Speaker 1: treating people around me, and I didn't try to mistreat
Speaker 1: me and who wasn't standing for it? Yeah, I took
Speaker 1: a lot of balls in the middle of Compton, he said,
Speaker 1: Compton right, just stayed up to the gangs. Yeah, I guess. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And my mom was a teacher, so she knew. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you catch a lot for your name for Us?
Speaker 1: When Farrest Gump came out? People people have said that
Speaker 1: that joke a lot to me. But I'm like the
Speaker 1: third one my mom, my father, and my grandfather named
Speaker 1: for us. It's it's a family name. Did you feel
Speaker 1: a way when you saw the movie title like wait
Speaker 1: for Us? Yeah, not really, but I definitely people definitely
Speaker 1: make you know, the whole joke of a run for
Speaker 1: Us run and all like a lot of memes that
Speaker 1: you could create in general, just do you see the
Speaker 1: memes about yourself? Because because they always come for your eye,
Speaker 1: and your eye creates a lot of content on social media.
Speaker 1: Have you seen any of those? I've seen. I've seen
Speaker 1: some of them. Yeah, I mean that's gonna happen, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I remember you said once that you would contemplating having
Speaker 1: cosmetic surgery on your eye. No, not cous matic surgery
Speaker 1: because it limits my vision. Like when I look up
Speaker 1: and there was a way to fix it, then I
Speaker 1: would have I would have better vision. So they don't
Speaker 1: know where to fix it. You know. There was a
Speaker 1: guy that told me that there was, but then I
Speaker 1: just eyes are risky too. You don't want to do
Speaker 1: something and then it doesn't go the way you anticipated,
Speaker 1: and then now it's worse. Yeah, that's what I was
Speaker 1: worried about. Now is it a condition? Because after eleven
Speaker 1: o'clock my eye does the same thing, and I always say,
Speaker 1: whenever it happens, i'd be like, I'm looking a little
Speaker 1: far as winterkery right now. So it's like a condition.
Speaker 1: U um, this is called ptosis. I don't know, condition whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I guess, I guess it's fine. And you know,
Speaker 1: if that's what you you know you think when you
Speaker 1: think about it, I mean, if I come into your
Speaker 1: mind because of that as a kicking guys, I'm talking
Speaker 1: out after a lie you said to night late when
Speaker 1: I'm out after eleven. All right, well, Godfather of Harlem,
Speaker 1: appreciate you for joining us. Thanks all right, as far
Speaker 1: as what because the breakfast club, good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: How to argue with these young boys about things that
Speaker 1: they don't know. All right, let's get to the rum
Speaker 1: as us two young boys like dramas just being here.
Speaker 1: First thing was beyond things. Whack. Now you're telling me
Speaker 1: nobody checking for two live crew. Let's get one of
Speaker 1: them hip pop groups of all time. Let's talk super Bowl.
Speaker 1: It's about is the rumor report? Angel and Ye on
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club? All right? Well, the NFL announced that
Speaker 1: both che for low Pass and Shakira will be performing
Speaker 1: at the halftime show. And Uncle Luke he's a little
Speaker 1: upset about it. So all of a sudden, the NFL,
Speaker 1: y'all gonna bring in j Loo and somebody else. It
Speaker 1: just totally dista all the entertainment on the African American
Speaker 1: entertainment in Miami. So we don't exist. It ain't about me.
Speaker 1: I don't want to perform. I would have thought you
Speaker 1: had since to go in get pit Bull, Flow Rider
Speaker 1: or Ross or somebody Trick Daddy or something. Really, we
Speaker 1: don't need the NFL. Our hotels are already filed up.
Speaker 1: You need us, jay Z, you gotta fix it. I
Speaker 1: can see why he's upset because when you have a
Speaker 1: city like Miami that has the rich history it has
Speaker 1: and has the international superstars that does you have to
Speaker 1: go get pit Bull, you have to go get Floor Rider.
Speaker 1: Like I don't understand why pit Bull and Florida wouldn't
Speaker 1: be headlined in that show. I don't understand. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that you can't have a j Loo
Speaker 1: out there, but why why why aren't pitbulling Floor Rider headlining?
Speaker 1: Well dramas our producer Slash says that, well, j Loo
Speaker 1: is bigger than anybody there, and she's a huge star. Yes,
Speaker 1: I don't think you realize how big pit Bull was
Speaker 1: the past ten years. I don't think you realize how
Speaker 1: big Floor Rider was the past ten years. I would
Speaker 1: I would even say that they have bigger I know,
Speaker 1: they got bigger records than jay Loo's had over the
Speaker 1: past decade. Response, She's still an icon. If it was
Speaker 1: like Miley Cyrus headline, yea, you can we talk a conversation.
Speaker 1: If it was Miley Cyrus or something like that, I
Speaker 1: could see the argument happening. But you're talking about an icon.
Speaker 1: J loos and icons undeniable. So now we're sitting here,
Speaker 1: you know, and I could do with that Shakira. So
Speaker 1: you're saying pit bull of floor rider shouldn't even be
Speaker 1: in that stage. No, I say they are. But to me,
Speaker 1: they're all in the same level, in the same class.
Speaker 1: So at this point would be arguing about so add
Speaker 1: a pit bull and a floor rider to the Rick
Speaker 1: Ross or a cal it could be there, or Trick
Speaker 1: Daddy or Trina. Then not to the same level of
Speaker 1: jail Lord Pitple. I could see you saying, are you
Speaker 1: kidding me? Come on now this and have the name? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so why are you Jaylo's I just said, people, we
Speaker 1: can put Jaylos Puto Rican. Of course you should add
Speaker 1: Molatino African American artists in the first person. He name
Speaker 1: was Pimple, So doesn't make sense what he's saying. All right, girls,
Speaker 1: all right, you better have that same energy when Uncle
Speaker 1: Luke comes back up. All right, I have that same energy,
Speaker 1: and you better stick to the script of saying that
Speaker 1: you thought Two Love Crew was trash. You said that earlier,
Speaker 1: Yes you did. I think I heard that saying I
Speaker 1: think I heard that because he goes, hear he goes, y'all,
Speaker 1: Uncle Luke couldn't perform that. I said, are you crazy.
Speaker 1: You know those two Love Crew said it at the
Speaker 1: same level, Are you kidding? Two Love Crew means more
Speaker 1: than meeting all of those see you, you're an old
Speaker 1: head and listen, jay Los older than me. J Lo
Speaker 1: is older than you. Shook better than you though, and
Speaker 1: oh wait a minute, why are you comparing me and
Speaker 1: ja Los looks may because he's looking at you guys
Speaker 1: to say why. I don't know, No, John, you've thought
Speaker 1: about that before, the fact that jay Loo looks better
Speaker 1: than Charlotte? Man? Have you ever sme old Charlot about that? Wow? Okay,
Speaker 1: all right? Well, lastly Talent Creator was performing and as

Speaker 1: j Loo looks better than me. I agree with him,
Speaker 1: but I just want to know why am I the comparison? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why did you jail? He was trying to hold her
Speaker 1: age against her, but she she looks more useful than you.
Speaker 1: This I don't understand. No, you said she looks better.
Speaker 1: Who do you fear this sun is about more j Loo?
