Speaker 1: He has a new flick that comes out this weekend,
Speaker 1: so we'll talk to him. And he broke directed, edited
Speaker 1: and everything and starting, and we got front page was
Speaker 1: coming up. What we're talking about, Well, let's let's talk
Speaker 1: about baseball and coronavirus. What's happening there. We'll tell you
Speaker 1: about the album break that has caused them to postpone
Speaker 1: three games. All right, we'll get to that next. Keep
Speaker 1: it Lockers the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We all the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news were
Speaker 1: starting you. Well, let's start with this. At least fourteen
Speaker 1: players and coaches on the Miami Marlins tested positive for
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. So Major League Baseball has to postpone three games,
Speaker 1: and now they are raising questions about holding this season
Speaker 1: even though there is a pandemic going on. Here is
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred was their discussion questions
Speaker 1: about the possibility of this season being, if not canceled,
Speaker 1: put on a hiatus. No, there really wasn't we built
Speaker 1: protocols anticipating positive tests at some point during the season.
Speaker 1: That the protocols were built in order to allow us
Speaker 1: to continue to play through those positives. And I think
Speaker 1: there was support of the notion that the protocols are
Speaker 1: adiquette to keep our players safe. Yeah, I don't see
Speaker 1: how to contained that for a whole season. They're gonna
Speaker 1: be traveling. It's a lot more personnel in baseball. It's
Speaker 1: not like they can put themselves in a bump in
Speaker 1: one location like basketball players. I don't know how he
Speaker 1: contained it right because there are no fans at the games.
Speaker 1: They've banned high fives, there's no fist bumps, and there's
Speaker 1: no spitting amongst the players now here. As a commissioner
Speaker 1: talking about what's going to happen. Moving forward, weard with
Speaker 1: testing and protocols. We have improved the testing. There was
Speaker 1: a timeliness issue early on. We've completely eliminated the problem
Speaker 1: of having pending tests that people were talking about. If
Speaker 1: that applies across the board in terms of the protocol.
Speaker 1: It is an evolving situation. We continue to look at them.
Speaker 1: We're looking at them again today to see whether there's
Speaker 1: anything that we've learned from this situation that might cause
Speaker 1: us to make alterations. Hey man, I'm not a baseball fan.
Speaker 1: I'll tell y'all all the time, and telling y'all for
Speaker 1: a year. I like baseball better when everybody was on steroids.
Speaker 1: That's when the sport was at best. Okay, right now,
Speaker 1: I don't, I'm not. I'm not missing baseball. I was
Speaker 1: watching miss countdown. I was watching the NBA countdown last night, saying,
Speaker 1: this is why I love basketball. Basketball, So it's so amazing,
Speaker 1: you know, it was such a great sport. The fact
Speaker 1: that it can even be contained in a bubble is amazing.
Speaker 1: How out the crowd though, Because I haven't seen any
Speaker 1: games yet and I was without the crowd, it look
Speaker 1: regular to me. I mean, I'm not gonna say it
Speaker 1: looks regular. Regular is not the word. It definitely looks different.
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm paying attention to the action on the
Speaker 1: court and think about it. Man, we live in a
Speaker 1: different era. We live in a social media era. The
Speaker 1: crowd is on social media. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I enjoy it well. In the White House, Donald Trump's
Speaker 1: National security advisor, Rabbit O'Brien has tested positive for coronavirus,
Speaker 1: according to sources, So the White House declined to immediately comment.
Speaker 1: We don't know whether or not they're going to have
Speaker 1: to quarantine. But the University of Notre Dame announced that
Speaker 1: they will withdraw from hosting the first presidential debate that
Speaker 1: was supposed to happen September twenty ninth. Now that will
Speaker 1: take place at Western Reserve University in Cleveland, according to
Speaker 1: a statement that they made. The president of the university,
Speaker 1: Father John Jenkins, said that he made what he called
Speaker 1: this difficult decision because the necessary health precautions would have
Speaker 1: greatly diminished the educational value of hosting the debate on
Speaker 1: our campus. So unfortunately, even though they would have liked
Speaker 1: to host that debate, they won't. I wonder why they
Speaker 1: couldn't host the debate like that. Seems like a very
Speaker 1: easy thing to be able to socially distansion. He's got
Speaker 1: two candidates. I'm sure the security around somewhere. It's not
Speaker 1: like the moderator is right next to the people like that.
Speaker 1: Seems like it can be a very easy thing, the
Speaker 1: socially distanced that. And we were talking about these stimulus
Speaker 1: checks in this next round. While Mitch McConnell has unveiled
Speaker 1: the Heels Act, the Republican Heels Act to address the
Speaker 1: coronavirus pandemic, there's another round of twelve hundred dollars stimulus
Speaker 1: checks on the way. According to McConnell, this bill is
Speaker 1: expected to cost about one trillion dollars. It gives a
Speaker 1: liability shield to businesses and funds to schools, and it
Speaker 1: caps at seventy percent of pre pandemic pay That is
Speaker 1: the unemployment insurance supplement that lapsed last week. So this
Speaker 1: time the stimulus checks will include extra cast for people
Speaker 1: with adult dependence and if you have an adult or
Speaker 1: child that's depending on you, you qualify for a five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars payments. So if you earn up to seventy
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars, you get the full twelve hundred, but
Speaker 1: if you earn more than that, you'll get smaller amounts,
Speaker 1: and people who earn over ninety nine thousand dollars again
Speaker 1: won't get any money. All right, People out there with
Speaker 1: their phones turned off and the only way they can
Speaker 1: communicate is by doing FaceTime audio if they got wildfi somewhere. So, yes,
Speaker 1: stimulus checks need to be out, all right, Well that's
Speaker 1: front page news. Get it off your chests. Eight hundred
Speaker 1: five eight five one oh five one. If you need
Speaker 1: to vent phone lines a wide opening number. Again, it's
Speaker 1: eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Is
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is
Speaker 1: your time to get it off your chests, whether you're
Speaker 1: man or blast. So people to have the same anyting
Speaker 1: we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello,

Speaker 1: just want to tell y'all good morning, man. Litten to
Speaker 1: more right, now y'all gotta kiding on my clothes in
Speaker 1: the morning and keep doing what you're doing. I'll call
Speaker 1: y'all back next week. All right, my brother, okay, all right, brother, y'all.
Speaker 1: This guy with the different daddies, Hello, who's this? This
Speaker 1: is December eight calling from Atlanta, Georgia's they December, So
Speaker 1: your parents try tomb and they tried to make it
Speaker 1: a little fancy December. Yeah. I was born New Year's Eve,
Speaker 1: so everybody celebrates my birthday the true We'll get it
Speaker 1: off your chess, mama. All right, I want to get
Speaker 1: this off my chest. And I'm kind of horse this
Speaker 1: morning because I worked like eighty hours a week. But
Speaker 1: I'm tired of these parents that are petitioning the Cobb
Speaker 1: County school Board to go back to school. These kids
Speaker 1: out here are going to go through coronavirus just like adults,
Speaker 1: and they're willing is to sign a waiver, a liability
Speaker 1: waiver that said they won't hold a school board liable
Speaker 1: if their children get sick, name or even die for coronavirus.
Speaker 1: Heard about that the school system is not the daycare center.
Speaker 1: That's your responsibility to take care of your own kids
Speaker 1: and keep your kids safe. And the more I hear
Speaker 1: that they petitioned these school boys, they're stupid. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm not bringing my kids
Speaker 1: to so I'm not taking my kids at school. But
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people that have to work and
Speaker 1: feel like if they have to work, they need their
Speaker 1: kids to get an education, so they're willing to put
Speaker 1: their school their kids back in school. You can't be
Speaker 1: mad at that. But that's when the parents need to
Speaker 1: come together and we need to find a way that
Speaker 1: we can keep each other's kids. Where as the grandma's
Speaker 1: where the auntie's worth the cousins not expect the school
Speaker 1: to do it. Yeah, it's such a tough position to
Speaker 1: be in. Um. I think what makes it really bad
Speaker 1: and heartbreaking is having to sign away that says I'm
Speaker 1: fine if something happens to my child, if my child dies,
Speaker 1: and something like that. That right there, I couldn't even matter. Yeah. Never,
Speaker 1: I'm a mom and I would never say, hey, let
Speaker 1: my child die so they can go to schools. To me,
Speaker 1: that is the craziest, don't I don't think that's what
Speaker 1: that letters says. I think the letters just the school
Speaker 1: is just not taking responsibility there. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: think the school is gonna try to kill a kid.
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna do everything possible. But when parents
Speaker 1: go in and out, back, back and forth to work,
Speaker 1: a parent could bring that to their child, you know.
Speaker 1: But you know, some people don't have the luxury of
Speaker 1: having grandparents and aunties around, so they you know, that
Speaker 1: they stuck and they have to do what they have
Speaker 1: to do. You know, I'm not taking my kids to school,
Speaker 1: but some parents don't have that choice that Some parents
Speaker 1: feel like it's okay and they're gonna you know, they
Speaker 1: want their kids to get the education right, and they
Speaker 1: are telling you you don't have to send your kids
Speaker 1: to school. Right, you have the choice to say yes
Speaker 1: or no. Yeah, that's the only said no. They agreed
Speaker 1: everything that's going to go virtual as of last night.
Speaker 1: But there are still parents that will still want other
Speaker 1: teachers to step up and say we'll do it, and
Speaker 1: the teachers are saying no. They're even teachers. They are
Speaker 1: taking their own family leaves so that they don't have
Speaker 1: to go back to school and they shouldn't have to
Speaker 1: sacrifice family leaves because they're scared they're going to say
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get coronavirus, all right. I just can't imagine it,
Speaker 1: all right, I just I just don't understand why all
Speaker 1: peoples don't provide the option, like there should be an option.
Speaker 1: There should be an you for kids that you know,
Speaker 1: for parents don't feel comfortable bringing their children to school,
Speaker 1: whether this online classes something like, at least give them
Speaker 1: the option. Get it off your chest eight hundred five
Speaker 1: eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent,
Speaker 1: hit this up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,

Speaker 1: gotta sign a death waver to come back into the office.
Speaker 1: They might make us. Hello, who's this good morning? Get
Speaker 1: it off your chest. I'm calling because I'm just at
Speaker 1: a loss for words about how they're sending the kids
Speaker 1: back to school. I feel like it's too early. I
Speaker 1: have three kids of my own, and I'm not sending
Speaker 1: mind back. It has put me in a situation where
Speaker 1: I just got the promotion at my job. I've been
Speaker 1: there for three years and I finally climbed up the
Speaker 1: latter to where I want to be. But now they
Speaker 1: have this pandemic going on. It's not safe when the
Speaker 1: kids coming home just with colds all the time. You know,
Speaker 1: they never really washing their hands like that at school.
Speaker 1: It's no one to be to ensure that they have
Speaker 1: masks on all day. It was to say that don't
Speaker 1: have the corona. So I'm putting, I'm putting in a
Speaker 1: situation like go to work or stay home and be
Speaker 1: at home, you know, a teacher, so I have to
Speaker 1: make that choice. And it's just it's not right. America
Speaker 1: is not doing right right now. So I wanted to
Speaker 1: get that off my chet. How old are your kids?
Speaker 1: I just said that thirty seconds ago. It's as it
Speaker 1: shows how left up America really is, even more so
Speaker 1: than this, Yes, how old are you kids? I have
Speaker 1: a nine year old, in eleven year old and my
Speaker 1: third when she's sixteen years old. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: I'm doing logistics, and I mean it seems like only
Speaker 1: even will be doing it for a little while because
Speaker 1: I'm to be at home, you know, home schooling, right,
Speaker 1: I'm not telling back. So it's like I came up
Speaker 1: and there's no aid for us. They don't they don't
Speaker 1: talk about that. What are we gonna do. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: can't imagine no parents choosing their job over the well
Speaker 1: being up their kids, because you're going to work to
Speaker 1: feed those kids. If those kids are dead, what's the point,
Speaker 1: you know, as those kids get extremely sick, Like, what's
Speaker 1: the points I can't I can't imagine anybody being put
Speaker 1: in a position where they're gonna they gotta choose their
Speaker 1: job over their kids, and they're gonna choose their job.
Speaker 1: I can't see that, right, And schools start next week, Lord,
Speaker 1: next week. So I just wanted to get that off
Speaker 1: my chest. And I hope parents just be saying and
Speaker 1: reconsider sending their kids to school, all right, thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, you have a great day, you too, and
Speaker 1: say that's that's some of the choices people gotta make,
Speaker 1: you know, Do I do I work and financially support
Speaker 1: my family, or say I can't work and stay at home.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if if any any any parent,
Speaker 1: any any parents probably is ninety five percent going who's
Speaker 1: the well being of their kids over their job. That's
Speaker 1: just that's just natural parental instinct, especially the mothers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know there's a lot of parents that's out
Speaker 1: and about, right, now you know what I mean that's
Speaker 1: out and about and hanging out and going out and this,
Speaker 1: that and the other. A lot of parents are still
Speaker 1: doing that as well too. I ain't talking about them,
Speaker 1: because if you mean about like this in the clubs
Speaker 1: and that parties and stuff like that, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: because if you are, we're talking about what we're talking
Speaker 1: about people who have a better sense of responsibility than that.
Speaker 1: People who literally next week have to decide whether or
Speaker 1: not to take their kids to school, are to go
Speaker 1: to work, not the people that's just out and about
Speaker 1: party and having a good time. Yeah, those parents, kids
Speaker 1: are going to school. We'll get it off your chest.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. We
Speaker 1: got roomors on the way. Yes, let's talk about Oprah.
Speaker 1: She is back on. We'll talk about her new television
Speaker 1: show and we'll tell you why Ellen's degenerous show is
Speaker 1: being investigated. All right, we'll get into that next keeping
Speaker 1: lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: She's filling the team. This is the Ruble Report with
Speaker 1: Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, it looks like
Speaker 1: congratulations are in order for Drakey yet again. He has
Speaker 1: broke another record. He's surpassed Madonna for the most top
Speaker 1: ten hits and Hot one hundred history. So he just
Speaker 1: got his thirty ninth and fortieth top ten hits. That's
Speaker 1: for being featured on DJ Khalid's latest singles, pop Star,
Speaker 1: and also Greece, which opened that numbers thirty and number
Speaker 1: eight in the Billboard Hot one hundred. Welcongratulate gradulated hit
Speaker 1: the Aubrey Go Yes. So right below him, Madonna has
Speaker 1: thirty eight, then the Beatles thirty four, Rihanna thirty one,
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson thirty, Mariah twenty eight, and Stevie Wonder twenty eight,
Speaker 1: but he has forty. All right, Yeah, I have a
Speaker 1: feeling that Rihanna's gonna break that record if and when
Speaker 1: she decided to ever put out another. All right, now,
Speaker 1: Ellen DeGeneres the show her workplace is under investigation by
Speaker 1: Warner Media. We've been hearing a lot of things about
Speaker 1: Ellen Degenerous and how she's not the nicest person behind
Speaker 1: the scenes. You know, She's been called out by a
Speaker 1: few different people on Twitter and other people in the
Speaker 1: past have said, including comedian Kevin Porter, said that she
Speaker 1: was one of the meanest people alive, and he did
Speaker 1: a whole viral Twitter thread encouraging anybody who encountered her
Speaker 1: to come up and respond about their insane stories, and
Speaker 1: people definitely did. There were thousands of replies. A new
Speaker 1: staff member was told every day she picked someone different
Speaker 1: to really hate. It's not your fault. Just suck it
Speaker 1: up for the day, and she'll be mean to someone
Speaker 1: else the next day. And that new stafford said they
Speaker 1: didn't believe it at first, but it did end up
Speaker 1: being entirely true. So now they're investigating for a workplace hostility.
Speaker 1: And you know, they said, this totally goes against the
Speaker 1: message that she recites at the end of every show,
Speaker 1: be kind to one another. I wonder what exactly did
Speaker 1: they call me? Because tough doesn't always equate the mean,
Speaker 1: and I've seen a lot of women who get called mean. No,
Speaker 1: there's a difference between to me, would just be getting called,
Speaker 1: you know, a boss. It's not. It's a difference between
Speaker 1: tough and mean. And but that's why I asked, I
Speaker 1: wonder what they call me? Like, what did they call me?
Speaker 1: And I think there's if there's enough people saying it,
Speaker 1: and not even just people at her staff, but you know,
Speaker 1: there's stories about her going to restaurants and complaining about
Speaker 1: a person's nails that was serving them, and just you know,
Speaker 1: all kinds of weird things. I mean, that's you, Charlot Mane,
Speaker 1: you worked. She tough or mean or neither? Um, I
Speaker 1: would say she was tough, Okay. Wendy was a perfectionist.
Speaker 1: She she operated on a high level, and she wanted
Speaker 1: that from everyone around her. So as certain things that
Speaker 1: I'm sure some people would consider mean, you know, yelling, screaming,
Speaker 1: cursing at people, but I just considered it tough. She
Speaker 1: was meaning the guests for sure, though, like a celebrities
Speaker 1: came on the show. But but those of us who
Speaker 1: worked for her, I would say, just tough. Asked me,
Speaker 1: asked me, was miss Jones used to work for Miss Jones? Correct?
Speaker 1: Was Miss Jones mean a tough? See? Both she was
Speaker 1: mean and she was tough. She was both, Okay, both.
Speaker 1: I want to say both my aunts. To see, it's
Speaker 1: hard for me to call Wendy mean. No, because hurt people.
Speaker 1: Hurt people, you know what I'm saying. And when I
Speaker 1: look back on this situation and what he was going
Speaker 1: through and everything she had to endure, you know, in
Speaker 1: her married life. I can understand why she would. She
Speaker 1: would possibly be seen as coming off mean to certain people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well she would when it came to people who worked
Speaker 1: with her. She was tough. When he came to those
Speaker 1: guests who came on the show and other celebrities that
Speaker 1: she was talking about me, Yeah, well, miss Jones was both.
Speaker 1: She was both. She I mean, it made me tougher,
Speaker 1: but she was both mean and tough. She didn't play
Speaker 1: about her ish. All right, Well, Oprah's coming back to
Speaker 1: television since we're talking about TV, so she's going to
Speaker 1: be doing her own show now and it's going to
Speaker 1: be taking on a racism. It's a new TV discussion
Speaker 1: series for Apple TV, The Oprah Conversation, with debuts July thirtieth,
Speaker 1: and it's basically talking with white people about racism and
Speaker 1: bringing humanity back to the conversation according to Oprah. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm sure a lot of people will have missed
Speaker 1: her having her own daytime talk show. But her magazine, Oh,
Speaker 1: the Oprah Magazine is actually not going to be available
Speaker 1: in print anymore. They said they're going digital. So that's
Speaker 1: the brand celebrating twenty years of Oh, they're thinking about
Speaker 1: what's next. They said, the partnership and the brand are
Speaker 1: not going away. It's a natural next step for the brand.
Speaker 1: It'll be more digitally centric. Okay for all the Oprah
Speaker 1: fans out there, And you know, I just wanted to
Speaker 1: bring this up since we've been talking about what's happening
Speaker 1: with schools and people having to sign a waiver to
Speaker 1: send their kids to school. Emirates the airline has a
Speaker 1: new strategy. They need some passengers to get on their
Speaker 1: flights in the midst of this pandemic. You know, they
Speaker 1: are only operating at ten percent right now. So what
Speaker 1: they've decided to do is they're going to cover medical expenses,
Speaker 1: pay for quarantine costs and hotel rooms, everything for up
Speaker 1: to two weeks, and if the worst happens, if you
Speaker 1: happen to die, they'll also pay for your funeral. That
Speaker 1: is available for travel between now and October thirty. First,
Speaker 1: they said it's valid for thirty one days from the
Speaker 1: moment that you take your first flight, and it covers
Speaker 1: you even if you travel to another city. So they'll
Speaker 1: be covering that insurance for you. To try to encourage
Speaker 1: people who are scared to travel to travel. Oh, that's
Speaker 1: that's nice him, thanks for covering my funeral. I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm good. As soon as I see that death wave,
Speaker 1: I'm cool. I don't think there's no way I gotta
Speaker 1: be that bad. I'll be right. All right. Well, I'm
Speaker 1: Angela Yee And that is your rumor reports. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you, miss Yee. Now we got front page news
Speaker 1: coming out, yes, and let's talk about this next round
Speaker 1: of stimulus packages. We'll tell you what they've decided. Also,
Speaker 1: is there a coronavirus vaccine that will be coming out
Speaker 1: sometime soon. We'll tell you what drug is in phase three?
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping locked this
Speaker 1: to Breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomie the guy, We all the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Let's get into some front page news where we're starting you. Well,
Speaker 1: let's start with Mitch McConnell unveiling the Heels Act with
Speaker 1: twelve hundred dollars stimulus checks. Another round of those can
Speaker 1: be expected. They said it will costs about one trillion
Speaker 1: dollars and they'll also be giving a liability shill to
Speaker 1: businesses and funds to schools. It caps at seventy percent
Speaker 1: of pre pandemic pay. That is the federal unemployment insurance
Speaker 1: supplement that lapsed last week. So according to this acronym,
Speaker 1: HILLS is health, economic Assistance, Liability and schools. So right now,
Speaker 1: what they are saying is adults turning up to seventy
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. Again they get the full twelve hundred dollars,
Speaker 1: but adults earning more but get smaller amounts, and then
Speaker 1: when you get up to ninety nine thousand, you don't
Speaker 1: get anything. And they also are giving five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: payment for adults or child dependence, so not just if
Speaker 1: you have kids, but also if you take care of
Speaker 1: an adult. Okay, yes, that's beautiful. And I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you something else, man, They should pay for parents that
Speaker 1: have to stay home and home school their children. There
Speaker 1: should be some type of payment for parents who have
Speaker 1: to I don't know, quit their job or take a
Speaker 1: leaver apthoms from their job or something in order to
Speaker 1: stay home because they don't feel safe sending their kids
Speaker 1: back to school. They should get some type of payment
Speaker 1: for that as well, or some type of health absolutely
Speaker 1: all right, Now, let's talk about a coronavirus vaccine in
Speaker 1: the US. The first phase three clinical trial of a
Speaker 1: coronavirus vaccine started yesterday. So this investigational vaccine US developed
Speaker 1: by a company called Moderna. It's a biotech company and
Speaker 1: the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. So according
Speaker 1: to Maderna, the trial is to be conducted at nearly
Speaker 1: one hundred US research sites and will enroll about thirty
Speaker 1: thousand adult volunteers. That evaluates the safety of course of
Speaker 1: the Maderna vaccine and whether it can prevent symptomatic COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen after two doses, among other outcomes. They said that
Speaker 1: the side effects are minimal. It had mild side effects
Speaker 1: like fatigue, chills, had ache, muscle pain and pain at
Speaker 1: the injection site. Well you first, okay, tell me about
Speaker 1: it all right, now, enough of y'all go out there
Speaker 1: and take it from me and mind don't have to okay,
Speaker 1: do you think hi? And you know they're in phase three.
Speaker 1: Phase one isn't a small number of people and they
Speaker 1: see if it's safe. Then in phase two they expand
Speaker 1: the study and that vaccine is given to people who
Speaker 1: have characteristics like AIDS and physical health. And now in
Speaker 1: phase three, the vaccine is given to thousands of people
Speaker 1: and tested for safety. So we said it's going to
Speaker 1: be about thirty thousand people in this phase three trial. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, I thought, I've seen something in Atlanta where
Speaker 1: they would have Phase four and they would interviewing a
Speaker 1: woman last night on one of these shows, and they
Speaker 1: would like, you know, she feels good, she feels like
Speaker 1: she's helping, but she didn't know if she got the
Speaker 1: vaccine or the placebo. She wasn't sure. They don't tell
Speaker 1: them so, but they were I think, well, this is
Speaker 1: the first phase three study and development in the US
Speaker 1: of cod COVID nineteen vaccine, and now fires are also
Speaker 1: as an experimental coronavirus vaccine, and they got the FDA
Speaker 1: nod for advanced trials in the US as well. So
Speaker 1: they said their vaccine is slightly different. It was it flavored.
Speaker 1: It comes in flavors. They're also including up to thirty
Speaker 1: thousand participants. But they said that THEIRS uses an experimental
Speaker 1: approach that employs genetic material to stimulate an immune response
Speaker 1: against a key part of the coronavirus. I know that
Speaker 1: phase thing hasn't worked out too well. Okay, they had
Speaker 1: phases to reopen the country. I think we all phase
Speaker 1: nineteen in a lot of these places, and it doesn't
Speaker 1: look too good. And it's still in that open New York,
Speaker 1: New Jersey area. You still can't go inside to eat
Speaker 1: in a restaurant yet, so it's still a little crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know nothing about phase one, phase two, phase three,
Speaker 1: phase for it doesn't work is what I need to know.
Speaker 1: All right, Clearly these phaces things ain't working all right.
Speaker 1: Staples is requiring all customers to wear masks, and their
Speaker 1: stores and the Walmart will not enforce their rules on
Speaker 1: wearing masks because they fear that the staff could be
Speaker 1: attacked by shoppers who are angry that they're being challenged.
Speaker 1: You know, people who try to come in the store
Speaker 1: without a mask on and then they attack the employees there.
Speaker 1: So they want to avoid physical confrontations. But staff members
Speaker 1: have been instructed to still serve people who refuse to
Speaker 1: wear one. Walmart cut the bus. Walmart can afford arm
Speaker 1: security at the door. That's letting people know you can't
Speaker 1: come in without a mask on. And ain't nobody gonna
Speaker 1: beef with the armed security at the door. So knock
Speaker 1: it off. Don't even you don't even got to put
Speaker 1: your employees in that position. Walmart, okay, at don't make
Speaker 1: me doing the Walmart of the billion dollar corporation. They
Speaker 1: can afford to have armed security at the door, having
Speaker 1: people reinforced, enforced the mask laws. So stop it, all right.
Speaker 1: And Google is adopting their work from home until at
Speaker 1: least July of twenty twenty one. That's what a person
Speaker 1: familiar with the matter is saying. Previously, they had said
Speaker 1: their employees would be working remotely through the end of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty but now that has been extended until July
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, and that was sent out in
Speaker 1: an email to employees. I think that's going to be
Speaker 1: the new normal in a lot of places. I think
Speaker 1: that a lot of these businesses have realized they don't
Speaker 1: got to spend all this money on breaking mortar. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of working from home from a
Speaker 1: lot of these companies real soon. Abolutely. I read of
Speaker 1: their buildings all together and just had like one office somewhere.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that is your front page news. Now
Speaker 1: when we come back, Rominy Melco will be joining us.
Speaker 1: We'll kick it with him when we come back, So
Speaker 1: don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We
Speaker 1: all the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on
Speaker 1: the line, Rominy Malcole. Welcome, so welcome, thank you. I'm
Speaker 1: happy here as usual. Well, congratulations first and foremost for
Speaker 1: having a movie Tijuana Jackson. I know you've been talking
Speaker 1: about this movie for such a long time. But you
Speaker 1: wrote it, directed it, starting it, edited it, did everything right,
Speaker 1: That's right. I had to. Yeah, I believe did, and
Speaker 1: I'm glad that I did too. Why were you committed
Speaker 1: to doing it yourself like that? Doing everything? Because the
Speaker 1: characters raw, the characters, you know, the things that I
Speaker 1: say on the YouTube channel kind of at some point
Speaker 1: got the whole channel demonetized. They stopped YouTube, stopped sending
Speaker 1: out up because it was so controversial. And that's the yeah,
Speaker 1: and there's this. I've been doing that character on YouTube
Speaker 1: for at least twelve years, and that's the whole thing.
Speaker 1: That The irony with Hollywood is what they'll do is
Speaker 1: they'll tell you to tone down the language so that
Speaker 1: they can you can reach a broader audience. But then
Speaker 1: they'll turn around and say that because it's a black lead,
Speaker 1: we can only distribute it to herb in America. So
Speaker 1: there's like this contradiction of like watering down your product
Speaker 1: to deliver your products to the people that you made
Speaker 1: it for. So um, it was, it was. It was
Speaker 1: important at least for me in this era of like
Speaker 1: how digital plats, you know, all these different digital platforms
Speaker 1: to try to at least take a shot at actual ownership. Well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about to Tijuana Jackson for those who may
Speaker 1: not have been watching the YouTube for the past twelve years,
Speaker 1: like like, who is Tiouana Jackson? What's your vision for him?
Speaker 1: My vision for him is this. I created the character
Speaker 1: really because I wanted to. I want to educate a
Speaker 1: demographic of people who were not afforded this education. They
Speaker 1: grew up in the same hood that I grew up,
Speaker 1: and grew up in the same community, the same dysfunction
Speaker 1: I grew up in. Never learned about finance, never learned
Speaker 1: about personal development, never learned about the preservation of wealth.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I'm gonna use People look at
Speaker 1: me and they're like, he's so romedy, so damned corny,
Speaker 1: they won't listen to me. But if I created this
Speaker 1: character who was funny and over and like this kind
Speaker 1: of like overly abrasive, I felt like people would connect
Speaker 1: better because they wouldn't really be judging me while listening
Speaker 1: to it. And it just took off within like two
Speaker 1: episodes online. The New York Times did a full write
Speaker 1: up This is back in the day, and then people
Speaker 1: started catching on. And then some dudes ripped one of
Speaker 1: the videos and put it on World Saw. He thought
Speaker 1: it was a real dude, and then that now TJ
Speaker 1: gives some amazing advice. As we can see, he's a
Speaker 1: motivational speaker, right, and the movie, I guess the way
Speaker 1: the movie starts is he's in jail, he comes home,
Speaker 1: and he decides what he wants to do in life
Speaker 1: is be a motivational speaker and give advice to people.
Speaker 1: But you have to figure out how to make money
Speaker 1: from something like that. Now, who are some motivational speakers
Speaker 1: right that have influenced you? Honest to God, can't tell
Speaker 1: you one motivational speaker really et though. Eric Thomas, Eric Thomas,
Speaker 1: the hip hop Preacher, Eric Thomas he's a great motivational
Speaker 1: speaking speaker. No, no, he is, and he's got his
Speaker 1: own style. I don't I don't know if anybody can
Speaker 1: be a motivational speaker, but I do know that there's
Speaker 1: a lot of gurus out there that are hilarious and
Speaker 1: like self proclaimed guru. And Thatfork inspired the whole character
Speaker 1: was the fact that, like Yo, it's almost as if
Speaker 1: you've got like the most dysfunctional people in the world
Speaker 1: given advice to people. And I was like the different
Speaker 1: opportunity to take advantage of that because I love the irony.
Speaker 1: So the irony here is you've got the most institutionalized
Speaker 1: dude in the world trying to tell you how to
Speaker 1: liberate yourself. And so in this weird way, I think
Speaker 1: it's a mirror of everybody, because we all to some
Speaker 1: degree or preaching what we most need to learn. What's
Speaker 1: interesting about the TJ character. Most brothers in jail do
Speaker 1: learn to liberate themselves mentally, so their body is trapped physically,
Speaker 1: but mentally and emotionally, they have to take themselves someplace
Speaker 1: else in order just to get by. So he's not
Speaker 1: really institutionalized up here because his mind has been someplace
Speaker 1: out for a long time. Well, okay, the damn Charlemagne.
Speaker 1: That's okay, So let me explain where how I see that. Okay,
Speaker 1: I believe that he had to create an alternative reality
Speaker 1: in order to be able to sustain his dreams while
Speaker 1: he was in the inside, right, But I also believe
Speaker 1: that sadly, the process for that, he's so out of
Speaker 1: touch with the real world. The process for getting there
Speaker 1: is uh is missing. He doesn't really understand it. So
Speaker 1: when he comes outside and he's finally out and free
Speaker 1: and pursuing his dream, he's running all of these a
Speaker 1: lot of these stumbling blocks, but they're kind of the
Speaker 1: self created. He didn't himself so rich. By the way,
Speaker 1: I just want to say, if y'all don't know nothing
Speaker 1: about the movie, it starts me Regina Hall, who plays
Speaker 1: his probation officer, and the movie's kind of like a
Speaker 1: metaphor and Tammy Roman and now Paula Brunson. But Tammy
Speaker 1: Roman is uncomfortably real in this movie. It's it's uncomfortably real.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad I castor. But the point that I'm
Speaker 1: trying to make is is that you look at this
Speaker 1: character and you learn about what it really means to
Speaker 1: be on probation. You learn what it means for you,
Speaker 1: what it costs for your family to call you when
Speaker 1: you at home. You get to see the real deal.
Speaker 1: But you also understand that the system is really set
Speaker 1: up to disenfranchise you even more once you become a felon.
Speaker 1: And he's got these big dreams for this alternate reality
Speaker 1: that he's created for himself on the inside. But when
Speaker 1: he gets out, the systems like na na nae. So
Speaker 1: his probation officers taking him to fill out these ninety
Speaker 1: nine fill out applications at the ninety nine cents store.
Speaker 1: He trying to figure out how to become a world
Speaker 1: and out life coach. If he doesn't get employed, he
Speaker 1: goes back to jail, like the stipulation of his parole. So,
Speaker 1: you know, as funny as it is, that's what a
Speaker 1: lot of people are dealing with when they are inside,
Speaker 1: when they get outside the germ. You know, there was
Speaker 1: one part where you know where he was saying, Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to be a motivational speaker, and she was
Speaker 1: like yeah, okay, Like all right, you want me to
Speaker 1: type that down. But I was saying, I got a
Speaker 1: couple of family members that when they come home, they
Speaker 1: don't want to go to the ninety nine cent store,
Speaker 1: they don't want to go work at home depot because
Speaker 1: they have bigger dreams. But then they're forced to. And
Speaker 1: then what winds up happening is they don't want to
Speaker 1: go to work, you know, because that's not their dream,
Speaker 1: and they're forced to. And then what happens when they're late,
Speaker 1: Then they have to go back back to the halfway house.
Speaker 1: And that's the same circle that they go over and over.
Speaker 1: They don't allow people who've been sitting there for a
Speaker 1: while and say, hey, this is my dream, Let me
Speaker 1: try my dream. But they forced them to go to
Speaker 1: these jobs that they necessarily don't love, necessarily don't want
Speaker 1: to do, and they wind up going in that same
Speaker 1: circle over and over and over again. And that's the
Speaker 1: whole point of the movie right there, is showing you
Speaker 1: how we do is trying to navigate around the system
Speaker 1: to pursue a dream and do it in a comical way,
Speaker 1: but just trying to educate people to be a bit
Speaker 1: more empathetic because I honestly see it, like, man, when
Speaker 1: I watched that videotape of Rashard Brooks when he was
Speaker 1: just talking about you know, I've made some mistakes. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to get back up on my feet. Don't look
Speaker 1: at me like an animal. I got dreams too. I
Speaker 1: felt like I was seeing Tijuana Jackson in that dude
Speaker 1: that it gave me chills. It made me so uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: But that's the reality. And I feel like by watching
Speaker 1: the movie, people are going to have like a better
Speaker 1: understanding and hopefully more empathy. Because you know, the reason
Speaker 1: I even the reason to do like me even knows
Speaker 1: about this is because growing up in my fame, my friends,
Speaker 1: you know, my homies, like their brother or somebody would
Speaker 1: get out of prison right and then you don't realize it.
Speaker 1: But it's not just the system that opacizes them, the family,
Speaker 1: the community. I kind of opacizes them too. People don't want,
Speaker 1: you know, your kids hanging out with him and all
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. So I'd always be the dude who
Speaker 1: was just too soft to turn my back on her brother,
Speaker 1: and I end up hanging out with them, going on
Speaker 1: double days. I ain't hando business being on dropping them
Speaker 1: off the places I ain't hando business. Then you know
Speaker 1: that kind of and I kind of really started learning
Speaker 1: and understanding and developing this empathy that I probably might
Speaker 1: not have had otherwise. All Right, we got more with
Speaker 1: Romedy Malco when we come back, don't Move. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning morning, everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne.
Speaker 1: The guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking
Speaker 1: in with Romedy Malco. Charlemagne. I don't want to give
Speaker 1: the movie away, but I do like the realization TJ
Speaker 1: came through towards the end, you know, because he kind
Speaker 1: of realized that his motivation only applies to him. But
Speaker 1: he realized in order for it to be effective, it
Speaker 1: would have to you'd have to be selfless. And there
Speaker 1: was one line man that put it all in perspective
Speaker 1: when TJ said, when you have to beg a man
Speaker 1: twice your size to wear a condom, it doesn't do
Speaker 1: anything for your self I had to rewind that because
Speaker 1: I like what they just said. But in perspective, it
Speaker 1: makes so much sense. When you got to beg a
Speaker 1: man twice your size to wear a condom, it doesn't
Speaker 1: do anything for your selfless. It sounds like you speak
Speaker 1: of a personal experience. Charlomagne There's a lot of little
Speaker 1: funny gems in this movie, as you can see. But listen,
Speaker 1: I do want to commend you because I know this
Speaker 1: has been something that you've been working on for so long.
Speaker 1: How long did it take you to actually start writing
Speaker 1: this movie and then get to this finished product? Because
Speaker 1: it is available July thirty first, on demand right and
Speaker 1: on Apple TV, Apple TV, It's gonna be on Amazon Prime,
Speaker 1: It's gonna be on Voodoo fand ain't gonna now pretty
Speaker 1: VOD pretty much any video on demand you can get it.
Speaker 1: You know, I would say that when I really got
Speaker 1: serious and said this is gonna happen, it probably took
Speaker 1: me about five six years total. And I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: There was a moment where I kind of started feeling
Speaker 1: like I was being seduced by Hollywood and the possibilities
Speaker 1: of some prominent black producers in Hollywood who I will
Speaker 1: not name, were expressing mad interests, calling every day or
Speaker 1: you know, reading the script over and over, and I thought, damn,
Speaker 1: you know, these brothers might get it, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But in the end, I was living in
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico and I just kind of had this realization that.
Speaker 1: It was like, I'm I'm kind of Hollywood side check
Speaker 1: right now, because I was hearing all these promises, you know, like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna leave it, I'm gonna leaven, We're gonna
Speaker 1: get a house. And I never really got that commitment
Speaker 1: from Hollywood, and I realized I was wasting a lot
Speaker 1: of time by doing that. And when I really gave
Speaker 1: it thought, I had to it down and figure out
Speaker 1: how I was going to make the best product possible.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's when I decided to start a crowd
Speaker 1: funding campaign. My manager called me when I started that
Speaker 1: crowd funding campaign and he said, a, fam, I don't
Speaker 1: think you should do this. I said, why not? He goes,
Speaker 1: You know we can get the money you've got interest.
Speaker 1: He goes, and it's not a good look for you
Speaker 1: to be an established actor to be asking fans for money.
Speaker 1: And I was like, whoa what wait wait? What what
Speaker 1: do you think I'm an established out these I was like,
Speaker 1: I'd assume that by now we to raise something. No,
Speaker 1: and he was like hm. So we ended up having
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a talk, and what I
Speaker 1: ended up doing was I ended up putting in some
Speaker 1: of my own money starting the crowd funding campaign and
Speaker 1: what we the analogy we came up with it sometimes
Speaker 1: you got to start your own party, put the music on,
Speaker 1: or yourself a drink, get on the damned floor by yourself,
Speaker 1: and then send out the invitations. And that's that's basically
Speaker 1: what I did. So how did Will Packer and James
Speaker 1: lo Fest become the EPs there? Because when I saw that,
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I thought Romany did this himself.
Speaker 1: But then I saw them at the EPs, it gave
Speaker 1: it to Hollywood. Phil oh Man, I lied, I lied.
Speaker 1: I thought y'allways didn't know that I'm playing. No. The
Speaker 1: real reason, No, after I made the movie. I made,
Speaker 1: I shot, wrote, directed the movie. Everything promoted money, finance
Speaker 1: the whole thing. After I made the movie, I never
Speaker 1: really was concerned about being in Sundance. I was never
Speaker 1: really concerned about being like Tribeca or all these procedgious
Speaker 1: film festivals. I really wanted to take the movie to
Speaker 1: the places where people had contributed money. So that ended
Speaker 1: up being like Florida, Nashville, you know, Brooklyn, you know.
Speaker 1: And one of those places was Atlanta, And so Atlanta
Speaker 1: Film Festival was like, yo, we'll feature your film there.
Speaker 1: We won't you know, we won't have you compete, but
Speaker 1: we would love to feature your film. And they had
Speaker 1: this uh they just remodelists. Theater had three hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety seats who packed it out, and the president of
Speaker 1: Wild pack the production showed up. Lopez saw it and
Speaker 1: after what he was like, you got that performance out
Speaker 1: of Tammy. I was like, well, Tammy kind of came
Speaker 1: with you got that performance out out of Reginia. I
Speaker 1: was like, well, Reginia showder what what a minute? You
Speaker 1: wrote this whole thing? Yeah, you produced it. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: he was like all right, cool, so maybe like it
Speaker 1: couldn't have been Like but a week later, I'm driving
Speaker 1: across Daytona, Florida to Daytona, Florida to see my nephew
Speaker 1: graduate from White School. I get a phone call from
Speaker 1: Will Packet like eleven o'clock at nine Timmy, Um, he
Speaker 1: just watched it because the president to show the to him,
Speaker 1: and he was like, look, dude, I can't believe it.
Speaker 1: I'm really proud of you and I want to help
Speaker 1: you sell this film. And he came on board and
Speaker 1: that was like one of the biggest blessings just because
Speaker 1: of the game that I've sucked up the conversations you
Speaker 1: hear when you're operating as an executive producer versus act
Speaker 1: operating as an actor for hire. How much did it
Speaker 1: calls to make that full film? I probably spent about
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars. Wow, but that's amazing. You don't
Speaker 1: have to pay yourself, so at house, I paid myself.
Speaker 1: I paid myself with equity. You know. One of the
Speaker 1: biggest lessons of the Hostel I always I've been peeping
Speaker 1: the game, you know. I poxed that, peeped the weakness
Speaker 1: in the rap game and sewed it. Well. I feel
Speaker 1: like I peeped the weakness in like as particularly you know,
Speaker 1: the film industry. But I ain't sewed it yet, right
Speaker 1: because this is my first one. But what I have
Speaker 1: peace is that if you really listen to like, you know,
Speaker 1: the issues that a lot of people have with Hollywood.
Speaker 1: One is they have an issue with the creative accounting,
Speaker 1: so meaning they're always being told, well, you know, they
Speaker 1: ain't no more money. You know. I read this book
Speaker 1: called down in Dirty Hollywood or something like that, and
Speaker 1: they were talking about the wine steins and and and
Speaker 1: I'll ben affleck and and and and got done for
Speaker 1: a good real hunting and stuff like that. And I
Speaker 1: really took note of that. So I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: so awesome that you know the Key and Peel brothers.
Speaker 1: I'm met with them before he made hit his hit,
Speaker 1: and I was like talking to them, and they're like,
Speaker 1: if we can figure out a way to get rid
Speaker 1: of this at retirement cost is p and a to
Speaker 1: be sometimes ten, fifteen, twenty thirty, forty fifty million dollars,
Speaker 1: we could create a direct you know, to consumer connection.
Speaker 1: And that's what allays I started inspirement to do, keeping
Speaker 1: it at a low price point and getting just enough
Speaker 1: star power that you can actually fell incentivize the distributor
Speaker 1: to pick up the film with keithany and um and
Speaker 1: then the other thing was I was like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: we got this digital distribution. Let me tell y'all. Let
Speaker 1: me tell y'all something. Okay. There was no way in
Speaker 1: the world that I could predict coronavirus COVID nineteen. There
Speaker 1: was no way. But when we would do when we
Speaker 1: were dealing with distributors, the way that the deal normally
Speaker 1: goes as you give up the lion's share of the
Speaker 1: film to distributors and then they put your film in
Speaker 1: a frigging and then a bunch of theaters, right, and
Speaker 1: then you get a cut once they had recruited all
Speaker 1: their money, not knowing nothing that was gonna happen in
Speaker 1: the future. I was like, no, no, now, we ain't
Speaker 1: doing that. We ain't doing that. So the distributor said, Okay,
Speaker 1: I tell you what, what if we facilitated deal? What
Speaker 1: if we just facilitated meaning we'll help you position your movie.
Speaker 1: We'll take a very very small percent, but we won't
Speaker 1: be putting up a whole bunch of money for marketing
Speaker 1: and all this stuff, right, because honestly, they never do.
Speaker 1: And dude, shortly after we said okay and we got
Speaker 1: our contract COVID nineteen hits. So just imagine I would
Speaker 1: have gave up the lion's share of my movie to
Speaker 1: be put in theaters when it's impossible. Now, yeah, we'd
Speaker 1: have been limited to a digital release anyway and little
Speaker 1: to no marketing. So I really feel like this is
Speaker 1: a This was like kind of seven difference, And I
Speaker 1: think that I've been asking for this for a long
Speaker 1: time and it just kind of happened where I ended
Speaker 1: up being able to maintain ownership and also kind of
Speaker 1: market on major platforms. So I feel I feel very
Speaker 1: lucky right now. Keep it luck. We got over Romedy
Speaker 1: Malcolm when we come back, is the Breakfast Club going morning?
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne, the guy we
Speaker 1: are the Breakfast Club was still kicking in with Rominy
Speaker 1: Malco Charlemagne. I feel like the movie was like a
Speaker 1: pilot to me. It set it up like a pilot.
Speaker 1: I think I think it should go. I think it
Speaker 1: would be a better series. But but you mentioned your
Speaker 1: nephew in real life. Was he inspiration for your nephew
Speaker 1: in the film? No? Eric um No, not a little
Speaker 1: eric No, No, No, he was, you know, honestly, man,
Speaker 1: he was kind of like me when I was a
Speaker 1: kid rolling around with my dad. My dad's one of
Speaker 1: the most truth dudes I have them metch you know,
Speaker 1: he my dad came. My dad came to Brooklyn and
Speaker 1: bought Trinidad with him film and so he would hustle
Speaker 1: and dry taxis with no certification. He was my My
Speaker 1: dad was a hustling and I kind of always felt
Speaker 1: like I was riding shotgun with t J. So you know,
Speaker 1: little Eric was really bet But I'm so excited that
Speaker 1: you said you felt like it was a pilot, because
Speaker 1: that's kind of the point. That's the goal. The goal
Speaker 1: now is to actually be able to go forward and
Speaker 1: make the Tijuana Jackson TV show. And every single person went.
Speaker 1: Regina Hall showed up. I never forget. She just looked
Speaker 1: at me and she's like, she looked around. She did
Speaker 1: a couple of scenes and she was like, this is
Speaker 1: going the series wrong, this is going to serious. Chammie
Speaker 1: Roman was the first person to say, she goes when
Speaker 1: you're ready to learn how to make money on this,
Speaker 1: let me know. Now, I'm like, oh, okay, because you know,
Speaker 1: she's a businesswoman, hands down and her acting is uncomfortably
Speaker 1: real through this. I swear to everything. And so that's
Speaker 1: the goal, Charlemagne. So I thank you for that, because
Speaker 1: that is the goal. I was gonna ask Regina Hall,
Speaker 1: you know, what was the process of getting her involved
Speaker 1: in this film? Man? You know, I don't know a lot.
Speaker 1: I don't man, I don't want to incrimic. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just she leaves her. She leaves that she had the preyer.
Speaker 1: She leaves the door open. I crawled into the back
Speaker 1: of that. When she was so having the work, I
Speaker 1: popped up on her life. I really had been telling
Speaker 1: her about it two years and she kept saying, I
Speaker 1: want to play a hard bitch. I want to play
Speaker 1: and I was like, real, so, um, what I did
Speaker 1: was I just basically wrote it in a way that
Speaker 1: I felt like it would be appealing to her. And
Speaker 1: then rather than just say take this job, I went
Speaker 1: to her and said, I want your notes. He need
Speaker 1: your notes on this job. And she read it and
Speaker 1: called me and was like, what's fine with you? Baby?
Speaker 1: What's fine with this? Come out of your head? But
Speaker 1: you you're out this. I'm like, yes, you ain't right, baby.
Speaker 1: He needs to talk to somebody. And I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, she'd go, Joe, I definitely want to do this.
Speaker 1: And I also think that this character should have more slang. Well,
Speaker 1: since since there's been a Tiawana Jackson, there's a real
Speaker 1: life version of TJ out here in these streets right now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know Willow from Philadelphia. He
Speaker 1: did twenty years and he's home now. He's like a
Speaker 1: life coach, motivational speaker. Are you familiar with Willow? I
Speaker 1: am not. I'm familiar with a few brothers who've gotten
Speaker 1: off the joint and become motivation speakers, but I'm I'm
Speaker 1: not familiar with Wallows. Okay, but did you speak to
Speaker 1: somebody who actually went through that, like, you know, before
Speaker 1: you shot the movie or anything. No, I spoke to
Speaker 1: a lot of brothers who was in the jointing. You
Speaker 1: just reminded me, I gotta call my boy, and I
Speaker 1: gotta call my boy. They got feel so bad. My
Speaker 1: boy called me like days are going and call him back. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if you've seen them behind
Speaker 1: the scenes video, but we had a lot of brothers
Speaker 1: who would serve times on set, you know, helping me
Speaker 1: understand the process of the halfway, help you understand what it's,
Speaker 1: you know, doing nineteen years, what that means. And but
Speaker 1: none of them had ever really become motivational speakers or
Speaker 1: anything or that process. No, but you gotta you gotta
Speaker 1: talk to Willow. Let me tell you why I didn't
Speaker 1: do that. I didn't want nobody saying I've stole these stories, right,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And it's it's you've been
Speaker 1: doing this for a lot, but you've been doing this
Speaker 1: character for such a long time. I don't know how
Speaker 1: anyone could say that now. I'm sure people still said that.
Speaker 1: I'm sure people still said you stole the story. I'm
Speaker 1: sure that that that's popped up. I had a couple
Speaker 1: of people say that, Oh man, my boy said, you
Speaker 1: sold the story. I was like, thank god, the social
Speaker 1: proof exists. I've been doing this character since ninety nine.
Speaker 1: I've been recording this character since ninety nine, and then
Speaker 1: I've been online with this characters. In two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: you go back to my space and fine tim on
Speaker 1: the jackon No. And I forgot to tell Wallow that
Speaker 1: because Willow did say that to me. Willow sent me
Speaker 1: to for this movie and Willow saying, there's my story, Yo,
Speaker 1: you do it, Stow my story, and I was I
Speaker 1: was like, damn, I said, but nobody could do it
Speaker 1: like you, Wallow because you actually went through it. But
Speaker 1: then it did hit me, like, Yo, you haven't been
Speaker 1: doing this character for a longer? Yeah, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: yeah I have. And look, man, you know, I swear
Speaker 1: to god, I didn't really make this character to make money.
Speaker 1: I was doing this because I really was like I
Speaker 1: want to reach these people like the same way. Nobody
Speaker 1: reached my ass. Nobody came to me and said, hey, Sam,
Speaker 1: I know it seems crazy, but when you think of
Speaker 1: buying a house, you don't gotta come up with all
Speaker 1: the money for the house right away. Or Yo, dude,
Speaker 1: you know, I understand that people have done you wrong,
Speaker 1: but if you carry that around out to aid you
Speaker 1: from the inside out, you got to figure out a
Speaker 1: way they least understand the people that the people that
Speaker 1: hurt you were most most likely hurt as well and
Speaker 1: probably still paying. And like, no one told me that.
Speaker 1: So I was like, how am I going to communicate
Speaker 1: that to these kids? Man? When you know you know
Speaker 1: how it is. How am I going to communicate that
Speaker 1: to these kids? When America is set up? And I'm
Speaker 1: so blessed because I went to schools in Trinidad and
Speaker 1: Tobago and I'm going to school in now and States
Speaker 1: of America. And I'm gonna tell you something that really
Speaker 1: stood out is that in the Caribbean, even if you're poor,
Speaker 1: you still get a quality of education. In the United
Speaker 1: States of America, Yo, your your class and your income
Speaker 1: dictates the quality of education. And true to see and
Speaker 1: like that stood out, and so knowing that these communities,
Speaker 1: it's like they're purposely keeping the game from you, knowing
Speaker 1: that they're purposely trying to keep you ignorant, knowing that
Speaker 1: they purposely don't want you to know the etiquette of
Speaker 1: of pursuing investors, knowing that they don't want you to
Speaker 1: know the etiquette of just simply managing the work. You know,
Speaker 1: a work environment, you remain, you remain basically when the
Speaker 1: menial jobs, you remain uneducated and kind of you know, ostracized.
Speaker 1: And so the game was from the beginning with this
Speaker 1: characters just kind of to help turn people on and stuff.
Speaker 1: And here's here's the ivany At. So I'm doing this
Speaker 1: to help these kids, and I call them kids, but
Speaker 1: they was like, you know, young adults help trying to
Speaker 1: help them have a bigger vision for theirself. They turned
Speaker 1: around and told me I needed to make a movie
Speaker 1: with this character. It had never crossed my mind. Not
Speaker 1: only did tell me I actould make a movie through
Speaker 1: the character, they told me to start a crop funding
Speaker 1: campaign that they would finance it, and I did and
Speaker 1: they did. So it turned out I'm sitting there trying
Speaker 1: to tell them how to how to grow life coaching
Speaker 1: them and they turn around and life coach me basicly
Speaker 1: and give me a big vision for myself, which is
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I say that line in the movie.
Speaker 1: You know, you got to ask yourself why I needed
Speaker 1: to drink to see a big future for you that
Speaker 1: you can see for yourself. That's kind of where that
Speaker 1: came from. Yeah, wow, Rominy, We appreciate you for checking
Speaker 1: in and definitely go check it out. August thirty first,
Speaker 1: go see it and where can people see it again?
Speaker 1: How thirty first of me? Yo, Friday, you can see this.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry I can get too comfortable with y'all.
Speaker 1: Friday Friday Friday. You can see this movie on ituned, Apple, TV, UM,
Speaker 1: Google Play, Amazon, Voodoo, fan Dango in pretty much any
Speaker 1: video one demand, even like cable, like some cable outlets
Speaker 1: will let you get it. And you know, God willing man, y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all appreciate it, Roy, Thank you many yeah, hey, thanks
Speaker 1: for giving it for independent film like this, this major platform, y'all,
Speaker 1: And I really appreciate y'all dud this. It's crazy, but uh, y'all, yeah,
Speaker 1: y'all like regular listening now, man, y'all have grown a lot,
Speaker 1: and I feel like I've grown with you, so thank you. Fam.
Speaker 1: Oh go guys, it's all right. Megan Nastallion, after having
Speaker 1: not said anything for the past two weeks since being
Speaker 1: shot in her foot and we don't know exactly what happened,
Speaker 1: she took to her Instagram live and she talked about
Speaker 1: getting shot two times than needing surgery. I was shot
Speaker 1: and both of my feet and I had to get
Speaker 1: surgery to get taken out, get the bullets taken out.
Speaker 1: And it was super scary and it's not funny. It's
Speaker 1: nothing to joke about. It was nothing for y'all to
Speaker 1: start going and making up take stories about I didn't
Speaker 1: put my hands on nobody. I didn't deserve to get
Speaker 1: shot and do and thank god that the bullets didn't
Speaker 1: touch bones, they didn't break tendings. I know my mom
Speaker 1: and my daddy, it's my green hand to be looking
Speaker 1: out for me with that one. It's a damn shame
Speaker 1: she has to explain why she didn't deserve to get shot. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and you know, it is difficult that all these people
Speaker 1: were making jokes and having nasty things to say, thinking
Speaker 1: it was funny I saw that fifty cent posted. Damn.
Speaker 1: I didn't think this ish was real. It sounded so crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're feeling better, and I hope you can
Speaker 1: accept my apology. I posted a mean that was floating around.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have done that if I knew you was
Speaker 1: really hurt. Sorry, Yeah, I mean it's a damn sham.
Speaker 1: She had explain why she didn't deserve to get shot.
Speaker 1: It's a damn shame she feels like she has to
Speaker 1: explain anything, a message to everyone out there listening, celebrity
Speaker 1: or otherwise. You don't owe anybody on social media nothing.
Speaker 1: Your life is not these people's entertainment. Don't think for
Speaker 1: one second you have to get online and tell people
Speaker 1: what's going on in your world, because guess what, if
Speaker 1: you're happy, they're gonna find a way to steal your joy,
Speaker 1: and if you're sad, they're gonna make it worse. If
Speaker 1: those people in the town, it seems like that she's
Speaker 1: just trying to let her fans know that she's okay,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean that she has a lot of
Speaker 1: people that ride for her, been praying for so I
Speaker 1: think that's what that's what that was all about but
Speaker 1: she also went on to talk about how she was
Speaker 1: not ready to talk at first, and that's why it's
Speaker 1: taking this long for her to even say anything, and
Speaker 1: the muckle on I was protecting anybody. I just wasn't
Speaker 1: ready to speak. Let's not know, you just immediately get
Speaker 1: on the internet and start talking about imagine being twenty
Speaker 1: five and you don't have both your parents. But Mamma
Speaker 1: was my best friend. She you know, I'm still really
Speaker 1: not over that. So you like, you're gonna try to
Speaker 1: feel like your space with a bunch of people that
Speaker 1: you think is making you happy, you know, And you
Speaker 1: know I've been saying that ever since her mom passed away.
Speaker 1: I just feel like, you know, she that's a difficult thing.
Speaker 1: That was her best friend, her manager, Her mom was
Speaker 1: with her all the time. So that's not something that
Speaker 1: you just can just move on from and not have
Speaker 1: any effect from. You don't have to talk now, Megan.
Speaker 1: You don't owe anybody anything, not even your fans. The
Speaker 1: only thing you owe, the only person you owe is
Speaker 1: yourself to heal. Okay, not just physically from them gunshot wounds,
Speaker 1: but mentally and emotionally and spiritually. Okay, go find a
Speaker 1: therapist with somebody to talk to. F these people on
Speaker 1: social media. But the joke's just gonna keep coming. I
Speaker 1: saw people making jokes last night. Really well, yes, you
Speaker 1: think you think people have sympathy for you when you
Speaker 1: get online. Come on, man, they like to see you miserable.
Speaker 1: They like to see you upset. They don't like They
Speaker 1: don't want you out here living your life like it's golden. Please.
Speaker 1: They they are happy that Megan the Stallion got shot. Man,
Speaker 1: Misery loves company. You better believe that, especially online. All right, now,
Speaker 1: Kendrick Perkins has some things to say about Lou Williams
Speaker 1: going out and leaving the NBA bubble. He had an
Speaker 1: excused absence right to go to a funeral, but then
Speaker 1: he stopped by Magic City and he got some you know,
Speaker 1: he got some backlash for that. So Kendrick Perkins is
Speaker 1: one person who feels like that was irresponsible. Here's what
Speaker 1: he said. I hadn't been a major city the wings
Speaker 1: of Fire, but in this case and all, seriously, come on,
Speaker 1: Lou will you gotta do better, man. Lou will is
Speaker 1: a six thing year bet. He knows better. He should
Speaker 1: know how to be more mature. You got a guy
Speaker 1: that's a rookie and Zayor Williamson who left for a
Speaker 1: family issue, and he helded it way better than Luke
Speaker 1: and I can't believe people still talking about this. If
Speaker 1: it was not a Script club, nobody would care. If
Speaker 1: he stopped at KFC, Popeyes Zaxby's, nobody would even be
Speaker 1: talking about this. People go to the Script Club to eat. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's been happening since the beginning of time, knocking off man.
Speaker 1: The man was grieving and he wanted to stop somewhere
Speaker 1: he felt comfortable going to Magic City. That's it. They
Speaker 1: replaced the eating, got something to eat, probably got to
Speaker 1: smile a little bit, and he went home. Let the
Speaker 1: man live now. Kendrick Perkins tweeted out, it's disturbing when
Speaker 1: a rookie and Zion Williamson can act more mature than
Speaker 1: NBA vet Lou Williams. That's because Zion Williamson also had
Speaker 1: an excused absence and he said, you didn't hear anything
Speaker 1: about him now. Lou will responded on Twitter and said,
Speaker 1: fifteen years in this business, and the most dirt you
Speaker 1: have on my name is stopping to get hot wings
Speaker 1: during a pandemic perk, shut up and stop laughing and
Speaker 1: saying it's just TV when you run into me too.
Speaker 1: And then he said, but I digressed. I went home
Speaker 1: to see a man off to his final resting place.
Speaker 1: That was a giant in my life. I don't want
Speaker 1: that to get lost in all this attention. So again,
Speaker 1: long lived the Great Paul Williams Senior. Back to my
Speaker 1: quarantine so I can join the guy soon. Peace. Oh listen,
Speaker 1: Zion Williamson ain't had the wings that Magic City yet.
Speaker 1: All right, as soon as Zion gets the Atlanta and
Speaker 1: gets to taste them goddamn wings in Magic City, let's
Speaker 1: see how mature he is as well. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: well I'm hand it la Yee, and that is your
Speaker 1: rumor report. All right, thank you, miss Yee. Charlemaine giving
Speaker 1: your donkeys. I need Tom Cotton, okay, he's a senator, um,
Speaker 1: I need him to come to the front of the congregation.
Speaker 1: We'd like to have a word with him. Please. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get to that next keeping lock this to breakfast club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, it's time for don't give the day Democrat.
Speaker 1: So being dunky of the day, a little bit of
Speaker 1: a mix like a dope other day. Now, I've been
Speaker 1: called a lot of my twenty three years. That donkey
Speaker 1: of the day is a new wife. Donkey to day
Speaker 1: for Tuesday, July twenty eighth goes to Arkansas Republican Senator
Speaker 1: Tom Cotton. Oh, I can't tell you how heavy the
Speaker 1: mandais is on this one. Ladies and gentlemen. If you
Speaker 1: are allergic to that thick, cold white sauce commonly used
Speaker 1: on sandwiches and hamburgers, then you may not want to
Speaker 1: listen any further. But we have to get to it. Okay.
Speaker 1: Tom Cotton has called the enslavement of millions of African
Speaker 1: people are necessary evil. In fact, he said the necessary
Speaker 1: evil upon which this country was built. His last name
Speaker 1: is Cotton. What do you expect? Okay? He wears that
Speaker 1: name proudly. You'd wear that name proudly too, if your
Speaker 1: ancestors would have one's profiting off it, not picking it
Speaker 1: all right, Cotton is what prolonged America's most serious social tragedy, slavery.
Speaker 1: All right, from the eighteen thirties to the eighteen forties,
Speaker 1: the common phrase was Cotton is king. So of course
Speaker 1: Tom Cotton fields like slavery, wasn't necessary evil now, Henry
Speaker 1: Lewis Gates Junior once wrote, Cotton was one of the
Speaker 1: world's first luxury commodities and the commodity whose production most
Speaker 1: dramatically turned millions of black human beings in the USA
Speaker 1: themselves into a commodity bars. So it's not surprising to
Speaker 1: me that Tom Cotton would take the stance he took. Now,
Speaker 1: Tom Cotton recently introduced to Saving American History Act of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. It should be the Saving American's White History
Speaker 1: Act of twenty twenty. Okay. It prohibits the use of
Speaker 1: federal funds teach the sixteen nineteen Project to kindergarten students
Speaker 1: and K twelve schools our school districts. According to a
Speaker 1: statement from the senator's office, basically, he doesn't want the
Speaker 1: truth about how his country was found to be told.
Speaker 1: Let's listen to what he had to say. The New
Speaker 1: York Times should not be teaching American history to our kids, Frank,
Speaker 1: The sixteen nineteen project is left wing AGAINDA It's revisionist
Speaker 1: history at its worst. The entire premise of The New
Speaker 1: York Times factually historically lauded sixteen nineteen project is that
Speaker 1: America is at root systemically racist country to the core
Speaker 1: and irritatable. I reject that root branch. America is a
Speaker 1: great and noble country. And I take it you believe
Speaker 1: that slavery is an important part of American history. We
Speaker 1: have to study the history of slavery and its role
Speaker 1: of impact on the development of our country, because otherwise
Speaker 1: your canninger sent in our country as the founding father
Speaker 1: said that it was the necessary evel upon which the
Speaker 1: Union was built. But the Union was built in a way,
Speaker 1: as Lincoln said, to put slavery on the force to
Speaker 1: expection an extinction. Yes, unfortunately that was not done in
Speaker 1: a peaceful fashion. Now I need to bring light to
Speaker 1: these kinds of comments because we as a people need
Speaker 1: to know the unnecessary evil we are up against. And yes,
Speaker 1: I said unnecessary. Okay, it's people like this human jar
Speaker 1: of hellman's Tom Cotton, who stand in the way of
Speaker 1: the true liberation of black people in this country, who
Speaker 1: stand in the way of true progress. Now do you
Speaker 1: notice man Tom Cotton is widely seen as a possible
Speaker 1: presidential candidate in twenty twenty four. Yes, a man who
Speaker 1: believes slavery was a necessary evil in this country wants
Speaker 1: to be a leader of the free world. Nicole Hannah
Speaker 1: Jones Troplina Clu's bombs for her. She was awarded to
Speaker 1: be Shears Public Surprise for a commentary for her introductory
Speaker 1: essay to the sixteen nineteen project. She tweeted if slavery heritable, generational, permanent,
Speaker 1: race based slavery where it was legal to rape, torture
Speaker 1: and sell human beings for profit was a necessary evil,
Speaker 1: As Tom Cotton says, it's hard to imagine what cannot
Speaker 1: be justified if it is a means to an end.
Speaker 1: Imagine thinking a non divisive curriculum is one that tells
Speaker 1: black children the buying and selling of their ancestors, the rape, torture,
Speaker 1: enforced labor of their ancestors for profit was just the
Speaker 1: necessary evil. Trop on a clues bos Nicole Hannah Jones. Again,
Speaker 1: that is my sentiments toast Crunch exactly. Okay, Tom Cotton
Speaker 1: love slavery. It's really just as them where he loves slavery.
Speaker 1: He loved the idea of slavery because his last name
Speaker 1: is named after the commodity that kept black Americans as
Speaker 1: a commodity. And that's probably why Tom Cotton obstructs every
Speaker 1: single criminal justice reform bill in the Senate because he
Speaker 1: loves seeing people incarcerating, because incarceration is simply what modern
Speaker 1: day slavery. We all know what that Thirteenth Amendment represents.
Speaker 1: You see the documentary by being able to douvenay, and
Speaker 1: if you haven't, you should go read it. Okay, it's simple.
Speaker 1: The Thirteenth Amendment to the US Constitution provides that neither
Speaker 1: slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime,
Speaker 1: whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist
Speaker 1: within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Speaker 1: You're committed crime, You're going back to being a slave,
Speaker 1: simple as that. And that's exactly what people like Tom
Speaker 1: Cotton want to do. Some research on the guy, that's
Speaker 1: all I ask you do your Google's. Tom Cotton fought
Speaker 1: hard against the First Step Act, and there's the main
Speaker 1: reason it's not stronger. He also obstructed the Juvenile Justice
Speaker 1: and Delinquency Protection Act. Last week, he introduced the bill
Speaker 1: which Senator Kelly Loefler to create a gang member tracking database,
Speaker 1: and he's been pushing for an enhancements for fentanol in
Speaker 1: the federal system forever. He's also a huge wallmonger. Okay,
Speaker 1: remember that time the president wanted to buy greenland That
Speaker 1: came from Tom Cotton. And Tom also calls the pandemic
Speaker 1: the coronavirus the Wuhan, China virus, just like his president. Listen, man,
Speaker 1: I'm not intelligent. I'm just articulate. Read that on YouTube yesterday.
Speaker 1: Thought that was very accurate about myself, and I pay attention,
Speaker 1: and I read a little bit, and I have people
Speaker 1: around me way smarter than me who informed me about
Speaker 1: these things. People like Tom Cotton would be happy to
Speaker 1: have us back in chains, simple as that if it
Speaker 1: meant that this country's economy could be stronger. And what's
Speaker 1: even worse, Tom Cotton has no Democrats running against him
Speaker 1: for his seat this year, so he will be back
Speaker 1: in Congress and likely will run for president in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four. Let's not forget this man's name. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you know who not to vote for. Okay, And how
Speaker 1: can you forget his last name when his last name
Speaker 1: is literally the reason there was a civil war. His
Speaker 1: last name is literally the reason black people were or
Speaker 1: looked upon as property to begin with all right, and
Speaker 1: I even play white Devil's advocate with you. Tom Cotton,
Speaker 1: just for a second, you think slavery was a necessary evil, Okay,
Speaker 1: I can tell you why it wasn't. I can tell
Speaker 1: you why it was not a necessary evil. It is
Speaker 1: just evil. Because even if you say slavery is what
Speaker 1: built this country, right, which is true, my response would be,
Speaker 1: what the hell was wrong with your hands? Okay? If
Speaker 1: you came to America to build this country, why not
Speaker 1: build it your damn self with the Native Americans and
Speaker 1: indigenous people that were already here. Nobody told you to
Speaker 1: kidnap Africans and bring them over here and violently force
Speaker 1: them to work for you for free. That didn't have
Speaker 1: to go down like that. You could have put in
Speaker 1: your own work and treated the Native Americans who will
Speaker 1: hear good, and built this country with them, and then
Speaker 1: we would have all been starting on an equal playing
Speaker 1: field because we built this country together, as opposed to
Speaker 1: getting a bunch of Africans to build this country for free.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a necessary evil. It wasn't necessary for you
Speaker 1: to force us to work for you. That was a choice,
Speaker 1: all right. Being a slave owner is a choice. Being
Speaker 1: a violent, murderous rapist is a choice, and so is
Speaker 1: being a donkey. Tom Cotton, you need to learn to
Speaker 1: make better choices. Please let Chelsea Handling hand them my
Speaker 1: white work, I mean light work. Hehaw heahaw. That is
Speaker 1: way too much. Dan Mann is all right, well, thank
Speaker 1: you for that. Donk here today. Yes, indeed, Now when
Speaker 1: we come back, let's talk about these kids in school.
Speaker 1: A lot of people are calling, all you're gonna bring
Speaker 1: your kids? To take your kids to school? That is
Speaker 1: the question. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.
Speaker 1: I know for some people school starts in about a
Speaker 1: week or so. For us it's in September, But that
Speaker 1: is the question. Do you feel it's safe? Do you
Speaker 1: feel like kids should be in school right now? Eight
Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one oh five one. Will take
Speaker 1: your calls when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good Morning. Your phone call in right now and you're
Speaker 1: opening to the Breakfast Club top break it down. Eight
Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one oh five one. The Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy.
Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club Good Morning. Now. If you
Speaker 1: just joined us, we got a lot of callers earlier
Speaker 1: today during Get It off your Chair and talking about
Speaker 1: kids going to school the school year. So we're asking
Speaker 1: eight hundred five eight five one o five one, are
Speaker 1: you gonna allow your kids to go to school this year?
Speaker 1: Let's start it with you, Charlemagne. I don't know. My
Speaker 1: daughter is twelve. She has her own instincts, her own intuition.
Speaker 1: She says she doesn't want to go back. I respect it,
Speaker 1: but she also has no problem going to Chileing practice.
Speaker 1: So if you can go to Chileing practice in social
Speaker 1: distanced and I feel like you can do that in
Speaker 1: school as well. I'm as soon to be five year old.
Speaker 1: She just started school last year, so she didn't even
Speaker 1: get to finish her first year in the classroom. So
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even know how that's gonna
Speaker 1: work out. So I think, like a lot of parents,
Speaker 1: it's just a lot of confusion on what we are
Speaker 1: going to do. And I also understand my circumstances are
Speaker 1: not like everyone else's because my wife is a personal trainer,
Speaker 1: so she works from home and I can afford a nanny.
Speaker 1: But even with that the problem is the school. My
Speaker 1: oldest daughter goes to right now is not offering an
Speaker 1: online option. So I really don't know how this is
Speaker 1: gonna play out. And it says a lot about America
Speaker 1: that parents are being put in the position where they
Speaker 1: have to choose their livelihood are the well being of
Speaker 1: their kids. You can't even tell a parent to listen
Speaker 1: to their gut, listen to their instinct in a situation
Speaker 1: like this, because your instinct is to protect your kids.
Speaker 1: But having a job and providing for your kids, it's
Speaker 1: part of that protection. So it's just a terrible spot
Speaker 1: to be in. So to be honest with you, I
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm gonna do. Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 1: kind of feel the same way. And the reason I
Speaker 1: say that is because, yeah, my son, he plays football
Speaker 1: and they have practice, so I mean they all practicing.
Speaker 1: My daughter is going to NYU, but she's only taking
Speaker 1: I think one class a week where she actually has
Speaker 1: to go into that class. But the younger kids. The
Speaker 1: difference with the younger kids, I know, at least the
Speaker 1: older kids, they'll wear their masks, you know, I can
Speaker 1: tell them things I can't expect my you know, my
Speaker 1: six year old, my seven year old, my three year
Speaker 1: old to wear a mask a full day in school.
Speaker 1: I just can't see it. I don't see it. So
Speaker 1: it's about about protection, you know. But I see kids
Speaker 1: playing baseball, I see the lead us have started. I've
Speaker 1: see kids playing team sports and go into camp. So
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, but I want my kids to
Speaker 1: kind of to have some type of normalcy, some type
Speaker 1: of being able to interact with other students, to interact
Speaker 1: with teachers, and being able to leave and do their work.
Speaker 1: So it's a tough decision as a right now today,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but I don't know. That might
Speaker 1: change in the next couple of weeks. Now, yeah, I
Speaker 1: know you don't have kids, but what is your thought?
Speaker 1: You have a lot of nieces and god kids and
Speaker 1: all lot of other stuff. I think that for people
Speaker 1: that's really on you, you know. I also think it
Speaker 1: depends on where you are, like what city you're in.
Speaker 1: I know in some small cities they haven't had a
Speaker 1: lot of issues with coronavirus. So if you feel comfortable
Speaker 1: knowing that, okay, and this you know city that I
Speaker 1: live in, maybe it's not as much of a concern
Speaker 1: as it is in some of the hot spots. But
Speaker 1: I do think as a parent, as an individual. It's
Speaker 1: also hard for people if you don't have the technology
Speaker 1: at home to keep you on part with the other students.
Speaker 1: I understand all of that. I have a lot of
Speaker 1: my friends talking to me about their own kids. One
Speaker 1: of my friends has three children, and she's a single
Speaker 1: mom and she works, and she's like, look, I can't
Speaker 1: even go back to work unless my kids go to school.
Speaker 1: Her baby father doesn't pay child support, so you know,
Speaker 1: she's struggling right now. And she's like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how I'm going to maintain this unless my kids go
Speaker 1: back to school. But then she's also concerned about their safety.
Speaker 1: So I just think, what are the guidelines at the school?
Speaker 1: Is following to ensure safety with the social distancing? And
Speaker 1: is it going to be limited smaller classes, more spread out?
Speaker 1: Are the kids getting temperature checked? You know? I think
Speaker 1: you should take all those things into consideration. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I think about it is Charlemagne, you and
Speaker 1: I both know. I mean, there are sick kids all
Speaker 1: the time, Like your kid always has running nose, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Your kids get sick, they get
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, Yeah, the way my anxiety is set up.
Speaker 1: I ain't got time for all that. I don't got
Speaker 1: time for every cough, every running, No, because because I
Speaker 1: don't even know if other illnesses exist anymore, everything is COVID.
Speaker 1: But also too, who protecting the teachers because you know
Speaker 1: the truth, you know, we don't know if you know
Speaker 1: how coronavirus impacts children, Like I think I read a
Speaker 1: story the other day that said the nine year old
Speaker 1: died of coronavirus in Florida. Right, but those teachers have
Speaker 1: to be exposed to those kids all the time, Like
Speaker 1: those kids could be asymptomatic character carriers, and the teachers
Speaker 1: are just there, wide open. And then those kids are
Speaker 1: going back to their parents, and those parents are going
Speaker 1: to their grandparents. Like it's just it's just it's just
Speaker 1: all bad, man, It's just all bad. And like I
Speaker 1: said before, it's just it's a tough spot to be
Speaker 1: in because you your primary instinct as a parent is
Speaker 1: to protect your child, right, but having a job and
Speaker 1: providing for your kids as part of that protection. So
Speaker 1: it's just a really bad spot to be in. Well,
Speaker 1: let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this it's Courtney.
Speaker 1: Hey Courtney. Now we're talking about your kids going to school.
Speaker 1: What are you thinking? So I am yes and a no.
Speaker 1: So I have a three year old and I have
Speaker 1: a seven year old, So I have one in daycare
Speaker 1: and I have one that's going in the third grade
Speaker 1: this year. So yes, they need to go back to school.
Speaker 1: Because my seven year old, you know, she goes to
Speaker 1: another person for that little bit of extra help with
Speaker 1: the reading and things like that that I cannot give
Speaker 1: her working, you know, forty five fifty hours a week. Um,
Speaker 1: and my three year olds he needs to interact with
Speaker 1: other children. But to also think that kids school age
Speaker 1: are not going to run around and you know, make
Speaker 1: fun of it and you know, randomly licked their hands
Speaker 1: or something that will happen as well, so that fart's
Speaker 1: a little scary. But they need interaction with other children. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Yes and no for me too,
Speaker 1: Thank you, mama. Let's go to ONEm online. Eight hundred
Speaker 1: five eight five one five one. Hello, who's this woke up?
Speaker 1: Those Jay Cotton Cotton don't relate to the Senator Cotton. No,
Speaker 1: but his people might have had my people. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm trying. Whatever we very wide caught, but whatever,
Speaker 1: whatever we're talking about the schools, right, that's what we're
Speaker 1: talking about. What's your thoughts? I'm not boy all right now.
Speaker 1: They don't have a consistent plan. They should have been up.
Speaker 1: They should have came up with a plan on what
Speaker 1: they was gonna do to keep the kids at home.
Speaker 1: It should have been virtual school and already been in
Speaker 1: the works. They should have already had it working out.
Speaker 1: I agree with you, well, thank you? Agree with you
Speaker 1: all right? Eight hundred five eight five one o five one.
Speaker 1: Are you letting your kids go to school this year?
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: call me and your opinions to the Breakfast Club topic
Speaker 1: on eight five five one five one morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Now if he just joined us. We're talking
Speaker 1: about your kids going to school this year. You're gonna
Speaker 1: let your kids go to school this year? Hello? Who's this?
Speaker 1: This beon calling out a Richmand and Virginia. Hey, what's up? Bro?
Speaker 1: We're talking about your kids in school this year. You're
Speaker 1: gonna let your kids go to school this year? I'm
Speaker 1: thinking so, um, I got a I got a daughter
Speaker 1: that's going to first grade, and I feel as if,
Speaker 1: you know, the younger kids, it's very they needed to
Speaker 1: school right now, like that, she's not gonna look at it.
Speaker 1: She's not gonna look at a computer or a tablet
Speaker 1: for like seven hours, and they're gonna have her attention
Speaker 1: no more than two three hours. She's gonna be like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm over there. So I feel as if younger kids
Speaker 1: they need the school. I know, I'm here in college,
Speaker 1: they're doing have virtual and half in class. So like
Speaker 1: all the younger kids, they kind of do need to
Speaker 1: go to school because they really need it. High school
Speaker 1: they can probably do laptops, but right now, the young
Speaker 1: kids really need it. So listen, I agree, younger kids
Speaker 1: need school, but younger kids also need their health, they
Speaker 1: need their lives, you know. So it's just like we
Speaker 1: got to make a decision at this at this at
Speaker 1: this moment, like I would hate to see, um, you know,
Speaker 1: something permanent happened based off temporary feelings. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: also it's like he said, with the younger kids, you know,
Speaker 1: you can't expect them to stand there look at the
Speaker 1: computer for five, six, seven, eight hours, you know, five hours,
Speaker 1: you know, so that's difficult. So what are you teaching for?
Speaker 1: An hour a day or two hours a day? The
Speaker 1: parents are not teaching, so they don't know the curriculum,
Speaker 1: they don't know how to teach, so your kids would
Speaker 1: be behind. You know, an outbreak of coronavirus among kids
Speaker 1: all across the country, that would be Hello difficult, right,
Speaker 1: that would be hello difficult? Hello? Who's this? Yo? Yo? Yo? What? Good?
Speaker 1: Good morning? What's happening? I can tell you smoking this morning,
Speaker 1: I can tell you what. Thank you. I don't believe you.
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. Liar, liar passed on fire? No, no,
Speaker 1: my lits don't touch those things. But thank you, no timing,
Speaker 1: good morning. I'm great. I am feeling grace this morning.
Speaker 1: So here in Detroit last year, my children got definitely
Speaker 1: notice the home saying hey, parents, can you send in righteol?
Speaker 1: Can you send in alcohol? Wife? Remind your children to
Speaker 1: use sanitizer. We need to to suspect this. We need
Speaker 1: to just suspect that. I truly believe that coronavirus manifested
Speaker 1: sometime last year in school, kids were massively getting sick
Speaker 1: like crazy numbers here in Detroit there is no way
Speaker 1: in hetch that I'm sending my kids into school. They
Speaker 1: will be doing school online school. That's just that. There's
Speaker 1: have five girls the age range from eleven to sixteen,
Speaker 1: all fair sets. Two in middle school, three in high school.
Speaker 1: They're not going to in person schools. There's just no
Speaker 1: way you can tell me that my kids are gonna
Speaker 1: be good. First on my eleven year old her soul.
Speaker 1: She's not gonna keep that dang mask soon. I don't
Speaker 1: even check it into the stores because she don't want
Speaker 1: to keep the masks off right away. It's not going
Speaker 1: to happen. All right, Well, thank you mama. All right,
Speaker 1: Well what's tomorrow left? There is a morrow? I don't
Speaker 1: know if there is a morrow. Man. Like I said,
Speaker 1: you can't even tell somebody to trust their instincts in
Speaker 1: a situation like this, because as a parent, your instinct
Speaker 1: automatically is to protect your kids, to protect your kids
Speaker 1: from any harm if you can prevent it. But having
Speaker 1: a job and providing for your kids it's part of
Speaker 1: that protection. So it's just a bad spot to be in.
Speaker 1: So it really is listen to each their own type
Speaker 1: of situations. There's a small city in Georgia. They're going
Speaker 1: to be putting students in classrooms this week in Jefferson.
Speaker 1: So this week they're going to start in person classes
Speaker 1: without a mass requirement. Yeah, that's Jeffersons in high school.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of schools that are open down. Like,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of schools open down. I was talking
Speaker 1: to a friend of mine, his Jewish, and he was like,
Speaker 1: his kids are in school, and the bus picks him up,
Speaker 1: the bus drops him back off, and he says, they
Speaker 1: had no cases of COVID and and they're taking every
Speaker 1: proper you know, calls for it. And he and he
Speaker 1: has kids that I believe a like six seven. So
Speaker 1: I mean, people are doing it, and it seems like
Speaker 1: it's working. I just I just don't at my anxiety
Speaker 1: and my heart is telling me just chill out for
Speaker 1: a little bit, so we'll just chill. I don't see it,
Speaker 1: but I thank God that, you know, I am in
Speaker 1: the position to be able to just chill. That's right.
Speaker 1: Everybody don't have that luxury, and it is indeed a luxury.
Speaker 1: So it's a tough spot for people to be in.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we got rumors on the way, Yes,
Speaker 1: we are going to be talking about Kyrie Irving and
Speaker 1: he has committed one point five million dollars. We'll tell
Speaker 1: you where that money's going. All right, We'll get into
Speaker 1: that next keep it locked. This to Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela, Ye,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get
Speaker 1: to the room as us to a Kyrie Irving. This
Speaker 1: is the rum of report with Angela all breakfast all right.
Speaker 1: So Kyrie Irving has committed one point five million dollars
Speaker 1: and that is for w NBA players who chose not
Speaker 1: to play in this season. He said, whether a person
Speaker 1: decided to fight for social justice, play basketball, focus on
Speaker 1: physical or mental health, or simply connect with their families,
Speaker 1: this initiative can hopefully support their priorities and decisions for
Speaker 1: that donation. We've heard some players talk about their own health.
Speaker 1: Other w NBA players like Liz uh There's a few
Speaker 1: different w NBA players who have decided to opt out
Speaker 1: this season, some for political reasons. Um, you know, Natasha
Speaker 1: Cloud is not joining her team this year to focus
Speaker 1: on helping to fight for social justice. For whatever reason,
Speaker 1: that's going to help. I love it. I mean I
Speaker 1: get it. Like when you believe in something and you
Speaker 1: got the money to put it up, do it like,
Speaker 1: salute to him for that. That's a great cause. That's
Speaker 1: a great, great deed he did. He's a personal decisions
Speaker 1: for people. You know, we've seen some players who are
Speaker 1: using their time on the court to also discuss social
Speaker 1: justice and do things of that sort. Some people are
Speaker 1: sitting out to take care of things. Some people have
Speaker 1: health issues. For whatever your personal reason is, you know,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be forced to go play during a time
Speaker 1: like this. All right now, Comedian Corey Hocum is under
Speaker 1: the five right now. He did more than a culture
Speaker 1: podcast and he talks about a number of different things,
Speaker 1: and he thought he talks about the coronavirus pandemic and
Speaker 1: essential workers, and people were not happy what he said
Speaker 1: about people working at McDonald's. It's like, right now, it's
Speaker 1: the time in the world where a busters who mopping
Speaker 1: the floor of McDonald's can tell you to put on
Speaker 1: your mad I ain't got mopping up mask. If I
Speaker 1: got COVID and to kill you, I did you a favor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but people gotta understand he's a comedian. What he said
Speaker 1: was foul, but he's a comedian. You know, you can
Speaker 1: make jokes, but it's gotta be funny. Was that funny?
Speaker 1: It's funny to somebody, you know. I love Corey Holkam.
Speaker 1: Corey and I have different philosophies on that though, because
Speaker 1: I feel like you can learn from anyone. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a crackhead. I don't care
Speaker 1: if it's an alcoholic, I don't I don't give a
Speaker 1: person that's showing you what not to do based on
Speaker 1: how they've they've lived their life. I feel like you
Speaker 1: can learn from anyone, and I'm gonna respect your space.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna respect your authority. If i'm in McDonald's and
Speaker 1: you to manag Jim McDonald's, I'm gonna your spot. Such. Yeah,
Speaker 1: absolutely that. I think if he said if I got cold,
Speaker 1: if I got COVID and it killed you, I did
Speaker 1: you a favor, making it seem like people who work
Speaker 1: at McDonald's are less than beneath him, and are beneath
Speaker 1: him and don't deserve to live, which is absolutely not true.
Speaker 1: Like that's nah, right, I'm trying to express some love
Speaker 1: right now too. We appreciate everybody that's working right now
Speaker 1: because it is. It is a risk, all right. Now.
Speaker 1: Another comedian that people are talking about is Phase on Love.
Speaker 1: He was on Hip Hop Uncensored podcast and he had
Speaker 1: this to say about jay Z just out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Jay Z, I like him as a guy in the
Speaker 1: whole eric thing he created about this fake dope dealing.
Speaker 1: That's why I stopped this like him, like, I don't
Speaker 1: think you ever want to fight like this is never
Speaker 1: so cocaine ever, because you know why he keeps telling
Speaker 1: all these stories about how he did this and did this,
Speaker 1: but there's no stories of the other side. Somebody gonna
Speaker 1: bust you, somebody, Nobody ever sold you pancake. It was
Speaker 1: always Miami Vice. Now that is one I can honestly say,
Speaker 1: why do we care well Love thinks about jay Z? Said?
Speaker 1: He said, I know me and Hove haven't had the
Speaker 1: best relationship publicly, but FAZINE don't know what the f
Speaker 1: he's talking about, whether legally or illegally, and where it's
Speaker 1: got to it. Yeah, I don't know thinks about jay Z, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't even know why that was a conversation, how
Speaker 1: it came up about him and jay Z selling drugs.
Speaker 1: He didn't sell drugs with Jay. He didn't know Jay
Speaker 1: going up. I don't even understand. I was confused, Oh
Speaker 1: was fifty years old. I'm just assuming Hove having sold
Speaker 1: drugs probably three decades. Yeah, why is this a conversation? Listen,
Speaker 1: it's podcast time and there's a lot going on in
Speaker 1: the podcast. For instance, Joe Biden, he had some things
Speaker 1: to say about Logic, who retired recently. Logic, you don't
Speaker 1: get to announce this because we don't care. Hey, let's
Speaker 1: celebrate Logic getting out. He does get some empathy for me. Well,
Speaker 1: since Danny has backtracked and he actually apologized to Lodge,
Speaker 1: here's what he said last week. I came in here
Speaker 1: feeling pretty tumultuous, unable to properly read the room, and
Speaker 1: just hating myself and life. Honestly, and unfortunately I projected
Speaker 1: some of that onto you, Lodge, and for that I
Speaker 1: want to apologize. That was wrong of me. I should
Speaker 1: be able to think that you aren't the best rapper
Speaker 1: in the world, but celebrate your retirement. Definitely called them.
Speaker 1: Lodge hopefully understood what he did wrong, and you know,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure Logic called them, and they had a
Speaker 1: conversation and he apologized, Joe Budden is not a fan
Speaker 1: of Lodgic. Expressing that you're not a fan of somebody
Speaker 1: does not mean you're doing them wrong. Okay, Well, I
Speaker 1: think he was just talking about letting him retire in peace. Also,
Speaker 1: he's retiring. If you have commentary on his retirement, you
Speaker 1: are allowed to do that too. Listen, Logic sold eighty
Speaker 1: five thousand records last week. If I'm Logic, do I
Speaker 1: care about the opinion of Joe Budden or do I
Speaker 1: care about the eighty five thousand people who bought my
Speaker 1: record last week? Obviously he cares about the opinion of
Speaker 1: Joe Budden exactly. And that's and that's something we all
Speaker 1: have to work on. We all have to work on,
Speaker 1: you know, gravitating towards the energy that we don't agree with.
Speaker 1: Why we do that as humans, I don't know. But
Speaker 1: you have to be intentional about focusing on the people
Speaker 1: who actually care about you, not the ones who don't. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: Joe Button said that, you know, he felt he was disrespectful,
Speaker 1: so he moved walk his comments. All right, Well, I'm
Speaker 1: anti la yee, and that is your rumor reports. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you miss Yee. Now revokee. We'll see you tomorrow.
