Speaker 1: a meeting and you're feeding off the energy of a person.

Speaker 1: That's the most important thing. We're We're family. Very true.
Speaker 1: I'm tired of having to clean my house all the time.
Speaker 1: I feel like the more I'm home, the messier my
Speaker 1: house gets. But I feel like every single day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but now I got to cook every day, three times
Speaker 1: a day. I'm always cleaning up. I used to dishwash
Speaker 1: her every day, and then his clothes everywhere. It's just
Speaker 1: feels like it's a lot when you're because usually I'm
Speaker 1: not home that much, so I'm in and out, in
Speaker 1: and out. But now it's like yesterday I did something.
Speaker 1: I used a swiffer for the first time, and I
Speaker 1: didn't realize that they use batteries because I usually use
Speaker 1: a regular mop. I never used a swiffer before, but
Speaker 1: I was, you know, I was out shopping. I was like,
Speaker 1: let me try to swiffer. So I didn't realize it
Speaker 1: uses batteries until I was breaking down the box to
Speaker 1: put out with the recycling, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is how this thing works. I was just pushing
Speaker 1: it on the floor and not knowing what I was doing.
Speaker 1: But it's actually pretty good. Well, if you like a
Speaker 1: real challenge, you can come over here. And I got
Speaker 1: five kids, and you think your message crazy? You follow
Speaker 1: these five kids. These five kids are crazy. They eat.
Speaker 1: I did that. I give a whole chores. They all
Speaker 1: got chores. They all have chores. They all have responsibilities
Speaker 1: that they have to do. And if not, I wake
Speaker 1: them up at five o'clock in the morning to make
Speaker 1: him do it at five in the morning. I just
Speaker 1: don't know where all this stuff comes from. All the time,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I clean, as promised you every single day.
Speaker 1: And I'm the type of person I can't go to
Speaker 1: bed if my house is messy, so every single day.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's get the show cracking. Jalen and
Speaker 1: Jacoby will be joining us, of course, from ESPN, Jalen Rose,
Speaker 1: David Jakobe. We'll be kicking in with them this morning.
Speaker 1: And also, as Charlemagne said, Lindsay a grandma from US
Speaker 1: Senate in South Carolina, Jamie Harrison, US man. I don't
Speaker 1: know why he's running against Lindsey Graham. My bad learning
Speaker 1: against Lindsay Graham. Jamie Harrison will be joining us this
Speaker 1: morning as well. All right, but let's get the show
Speaker 1: cracking front page news. What we're talking about, Well, let's
Speaker 1: talk about the Democrats haven billed a police reform bill,
Speaker 1: and that bill would be in chokehold and no knock warrants.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you other things. All right, we'll get
Speaker 1: into that next. Keeping locked this to breakfast club. Good
Speaker 1: morning morning everybody. N Angela, Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we
Speaker 1: all to breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news
Speaker 1: when we starting. Ye, Well, Congressional Democrats have put out
Speaker 1: this bill. It's called the Justice empower to See Act,
Speaker 1: and this bill would band chokeholds like the one that
Speaker 1: was used by the former police officers and the death
Speaker 1: of George Floyd last month, as well as banning no
Speaker 1: knock warrants in drug cases. Like the one that was
Speaker 1: used in the incident that led to Brianna Taylor getting
Speaker 1: killed in Louisville, Kentucky, back in March. The legislation has
Speaker 1: more than two hundred Democratic co sponsors in the House
Speaker 1: and the Senate, and it would also require local police
Speaker 1: departments to send data on the use of force of
Speaker 1: the federal government. Also, it would create a grant program
Speaker 1: that would allow state attorney generals to create an independent
Speaker 1: process to investigate misconduct or excessive use of force. And
Speaker 1: the bill would make it easier for people to recover
Speaker 1: damages when police departments violate their civil rights. And this
Speaker 1: is also the bill that would make lynching a federal
Speaker 1: hate crime for the first time. Yeah, that's crazy that
Speaker 1: they even in their fighting. Noble goddamn whether or not
Speaker 1: lynching should be made a hate crime and brand from
Speaker 1: should be ashamed himself. He's holding that up. Well, everything
Speaker 1: you just said is all that matters. Man. Policies, legislation,
Speaker 1: and reparations the only way to atone for what's going
Speaker 1: on out here in these American screech as. You got
Speaker 1: to change the laws. I don't care about you, win Kin,
Speaker 1: take Clough and Neil and looking like White Conda forever.
Speaker 1: You gotta change some policies, legislations, and reparations. That's it. Well,
Speaker 1: right before the news conference, Pelosi and other Democratic lawmakers
Speaker 1: actually did nail in kenta cloth for eight minutes and
Speaker 1: forty six seconds and silent tribute to George Floyd. Now
Speaker 1: there's also in this bill a training program would be
Speaker 1: created to under that bill that would would cover racial
Speaker 1: bias and duty to intervene. And the measure would require
Speaker 1: their police officers use deadly force only as a last
Speaker 1: resort and use de escalation techniques as well, and it
Speaker 1: would require a federal registry from misconduct complaints and disciplinary
Speaker 1: actions under against police officers. So also, federal uniform police
Speaker 1: officers would be required to wear body cameras, and marked
Speaker 1: federal police vehicles will be required to have dashboard cameras.
Speaker 1: I thought all that was already in play. I thought
Speaker 1: I thought they already had to do. Let I think
Speaker 1: this is on the federal level, though, because you know,
Speaker 1: state by state things are different. I could have sworn
Speaker 1: a state by state. I thought every state had to
Speaker 1: have bodycams and they had to have a dashboard cam.
Speaker 1: That's what I assumed the body cam ras ain't never ons.
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing. Yeah, you can say it. But
Speaker 1: if they ain't on, them have come as soon as
Speaker 1: you as soon as you clock in as a police officer,
Speaker 1: that body camp just automatically turns on. You can't turn
Speaker 1: it off. That's what it should. Well, Donald Trump tweeted out,
Speaker 1: this year has seen the lowest crime numbers in our
Speaker 1: country's recorded history, and now the radical left Democrats want
Speaker 1: to defund and abandon our police. Sorry, I went law
Speaker 1: and order. Here's what Donald Trump had to say. There
Speaker 1: won't be defunding. There won't be dismantling of our police.
Speaker 1: Of them are great, great people, and they've done jobs
Speaker 1: that are record setting, so our crime statistics are at
Speaker 1: the level that they haven't been at. They really are
Speaker 1: playing Jedi mind tricks with the American people, though, because
Speaker 1: defunding the police and dismantling the police are two different things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: defunding the police is simply taking money from them big
Speaker 1: ass police budgets, and then taking some of that bread
Speaker 1: and investing it into communities, especially the marginalized ones. That's beautiful,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Because the hood never gets
Speaker 1: that kind of funding, investing schools and hospitals and housing
Speaker 1: and food in the hood, investing social services for mental health.
Speaker 1: If you provide folks in the hood with a better
Speaker 1: quality of life, then guess what will happen? Crime will
Speaker 1: go down? Simple facts, right, And Joe Biden is saying
Speaker 1: that he also is opposing defunding the police. He said
Speaker 1: he does not believe the police should be defunded. He
Speaker 1: hears and shares the deep grief and frustration of those
Speaker 1: calling out for change, and it's driven to ensure that
Speaker 1: justice is done and that we put a stack to
Speaker 1: this terrible pain. But they said, we do need the
Speaker 1: need for a reform, including funding for public schools, summer programs,
Speaker 1: mental health and stepsance abuse treatments, so that officers can
Speaker 1: focus on the job of policing. So he does not
Speaker 1: want to defund the police. What am I missing about
Speaker 1: the term defund the police. Defunding the police is not
Speaker 1: disbanding the police. It's not abolishing the police. It's simply
Speaker 1: defunding the police. New York has a six The NYPD
Speaker 1: has a six billion dollar budey. Some of that money.
Speaker 1: Take some of that money, put it in the communities
Speaker 1: that need it simple as that provide better quality opportunities
Speaker 1: for the hood. Crime will go down. That means policing
Speaker 1: will go down, which means interactions with police will go down,
Speaker 1: which means police killings will go down. Like what am
Speaker 1: I missing here? What's wrong with the funding the police? Right?
Speaker 1: And that is something that they are talking about doing.
Speaker 1: That is something they're planning to do in New York,
Speaker 1: in LA and Minneapolis. And we'll discuss that more this morning.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, lads, frog police officers themselves. It's not
Speaker 1: like we're taking money out of y'all pocket six billion
Speaker 1: dollars budget. Y'all ain't out here, you know, getting seven
Speaker 1: figures a year. Okay, that money ain't going to y'all.
Speaker 1: Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five
Speaker 1: one O five one. If you need to vent, hit
Speaker 1: us up right now. Maybe a bad night, horrible name,
Speaker 1: or maybe you feel blessed, whatever it may be, get
Speaker 1: it off your chess. Eight hundred five eight five one
Speaker 1: on five one is to breakfast club. Good morning the
Speaker 1: breakfast club. It is your time to get it off
Speaker 1: your chests, whether you're man or blessed, so you would
Speaker 1: have the same And we want to hear from you
Speaker 1: on the breakfast club. Hello, who's this? My name is Anthony, Anthony,
Speaker 1: Wh's up getting go a few chess? So? I was
Speaker 1: just calling into about the comment made about defunding the
Speaker 1: you know, police or whoever it may be, in putting
Speaker 1: it back into the communities. I just don't understand how
Speaker 1: that would solve any issues, because if if people continue
Speaker 1: a certain lifestyle they're living, they're just going to take
Speaker 1: that for granted and still look up to the wrong people,
Speaker 1: or and sell drugs and hang out all day. Hello.
Speaker 1: I think the real problem is people don't have any drives,
Speaker 1: and that's how they end those certain communities. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? No, that's not true. That's not true.
Speaker 1: We end up in those certain communities because the systemic racism.
Speaker 1: And it's not that we don't have no drive, we
Speaker 1: don't have no opportunity. If you provide folks in the
Speaker 1: hood with a better quality of life, providing with better
Speaker 1: quality opportunities, then guess what will happen. Crime will go down,
Speaker 1: Policing will go down, which means interactions with police will
Speaker 1: go down, which means police killings will go down. That's
Speaker 1: what are you from? Everybody everything. I'm one hundred percent
Speaker 1: on both that you know. Are you from, sir, I'm
Speaker 1: from down the shore, down the shore, listening to you
Speaker 1: guys every day on my commute up to up to
Speaker 1: working u down. The show is very beautiful. But let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. You know, when you went
Speaker 1: to school and some of the schools that some of
Speaker 1: the people that you were just talking about, it's totally
Speaker 1: different some of some of the some of the students
Speaker 1: don't have books, some of the students don't have computers.
Speaker 1: Some of the students have to walk through metal detectives
Speaker 1: to get to just to get to school. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a totally different game plan where you went to
Speaker 1: school and where they went to school. So it's not
Speaker 1: a matter about having drive. It's a matter most of
Speaker 1: them don't have an opportunity. You know, you you probably
Speaker 1: raising the house. Correct, I'm sorry, you're raising the house, sir, Yes,
Speaker 1: all right, right now. Your parents were probably easy for
Speaker 1: them to get a loan to purchase at home. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of people can't get a loan to get
Speaker 1: a house. It's not that that they don't have drive,
Speaker 1: is that it's that the banks won't lend them any money.
Speaker 1: So it's totally two different rays that you were raised
Speaker 1: the naval raise. Its not a matter about drive. You
Speaker 1: think they drive to stay in the hood, though they
Speaker 1: drive to get out. But the opportunities enough to say, well,
Speaker 1: they have to have where they have examples where it
Speaker 1: has worked, like in Jersey City back in twenty thirteen
Speaker 1: and Camden they did away with the police department and
Speaker 1: they had a renewed focus on community service and they
Speaker 1: said it actually worked out really well, and Barack Obama
Speaker 1: praised that when it happened. So there are instances where
Speaker 1: they can show how effective that has been. Well, hold on,
Speaker 1: you be careful with that. We don't want them to
Speaker 1: get rid. We don't want them to get rid of
Speaker 1: the police department. You want them to take funding out
Speaker 1: of the police department. Those funding those those police have
Speaker 1: two big they have these huge budgets. Take some of
Speaker 1: that money and put it in the community. We don't
Speaker 1: want to get rid of the brook. But there was
Speaker 1: one thing I also wanted to share that you know,
Speaker 1: construction unions, they're real big on hiring minorities. If you know,
Speaker 1: you just gotta go apply. And you know, I'm in
Speaker 1: a construction union. You know, everybody gets paid the same,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you're doing. If you're part of the union,
Speaker 1: there's one wage, and you know you can make a
Speaker 1: damn near a hunter thousand a year plus. You know,
Speaker 1: without a college degree, you just gotta go apply and
Speaker 1: you know fire. You know, hard work and getting up early.
Speaker 1: But you know the bus stops. Bro bro, bro, Stop
Speaker 1: acting like people in the Hood are lazy and they
Speaker 1: don't have no drive. That is a nasty stereotype that
Speaker 1: white supremacists like to push. Because I'm gonna simply tell
Speaker 1: you this, what you got growing up was funding. What
Speaker 1: the hood doesn't get, what black communities don't get, is funding.
Speaker 1: So let's defund the money and put it into a community.
Speaker 1: I didn't go to college because I would have tried
Speaker 1: to pay for it. I joined, you know, construction, because
Speaker 1: that was my outlet. I mean, you was provided you
Speaker 1: don't know me. You was provided the opportunity by you
Speaker 1: was provided. You was provided the opportunity buy. I just
Speaker 1: applied and I got in. That that was my opportunity.
Speaker 1: It's out there for everybody, that's right, and that's why
Speaker 1: we want the funding. They want the funding. We want
Speaker 1: the funding to go to our community, so it can
Speaker 1: go into our schools, Okay, so they can get that
Speaker 1: kind of information to know to apply for those kind
Speaker 1: of jobs. We definitely need job training programs in the hood.
Speaker 1: That's the funding, that's where the funding would go. But
Speaker 1: that's the problem. The problem is is when when some
Speaker 1: people look at our community, they say, oh, they're lazy,
Speaker 1: but they don't necessarily understand that you don't have the
Speaker 1: same opportunities that a lot of people have. And it's
Speaker 1: not even that's not even that they're asking for a
Speaker 1: million dollar loans, that they're just asking for an opportunity.
Speaker 1: You know how many how hard it is to go
Speaker 1: try to get a job, and they look at the
Speaker 1: color you're getting, they pass. It still happens, do you
Speaker 1: know what happens to get it? It just you can't
Speaker 1: think like that. It's it's not like, oh, well, in
Speaker 1: the hood, everybody's lazy, that's not it. Most of the time,
Speaker 1: these kids don't have the opportunity. They don't have knowledge,
Speaker 1: they don't have the books, they don't have the resources.
Speaker 1: And that's why it is important because when you defund
Speaker 1: the police and you put them money into the communities,
Speaker 1: especially the schools. Guess what will happen in those schools.
Speaker 1: They'll have job training programs. That's it simple as that.
Speaker 1: You got to prepare people not only for the jobs
Speaker 1: that are available now, but the jobs that are gonna
Speaker 1: be available in the twenty first century, tech and all
Speaker 1: the other stuff. That's what job training programs are for.
Speaker 1: And the sad thing is, I don't that guy that
Speaker 1: just called I don't think he was racist. I just
Speaker 1: think he's unknowledgeable. I just really think he doesn't know.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people just don't know
Speaker 1: and just don't get it. Like honestly, I just doesn't
Speaker 1: get up to them to get it up. It's up.
Speaker 1: It's up to us to get it and make sure
Speaker 1: that we bring those resources to our people who need it.
Speaker 1: Five eight five one oh five one. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club. I'm this is your time
Speaker 1: to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.
Speaker 1: Eight five one. We want to hear from you on
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Hello. Who's this? Hello? Hello? Good morning?
Speaker 1: Just is Whitney. How are you guys? Whitney? Good morning.
Speaker 1: I have to get something off my chest. And this
Speaker 1: is directly in response to what Angeline says this morning
Speaker 1: and regards to Joe Biden. But against I'm a part
Speaker 1: of the younger generation. I know these old folks in
Speaker 1: the political poward and all this thing know that a
Speaker 1: will because if we are married in the ancient we
Speaker 1: have short attention spells. And all I'm hearing is after
Speaker 1: we marched from Grant Concord to forty second Streets, from
Speaker 1: Brooklyn to Queen, after we caught Rubbert bullets art Pass,
Speaker 1: after we got run down by the posy, after the
Speaker 1: nurses got snatched up, after all these things, they still
Speaker 1: do not want to see runs the police. So I'm
Speaker 1: ask this is why we keep it. We're angry like
Speaker 1: and I just don't understand. This is why young people
Speaker 1: do not get some because they just feel like this
Speaker 1: straight off the bowl. And that's exactly how I feel.
Speaker 1: I still try to get out and go go. I
Speaker 1: still try to, you know, be a part of the sea,
Speaker 1: do the right thing. But I just don't feel like
Speaker 1: now I've brought all trust when it comes to the police,
Speaker 1: to the politics all that, because I just feel like
Speaker 1: they don't actually listen to what people are saying, you
Speaker 1: know what, and it's more important. I would say for
Speaker 1: young people to even run for office. You know, there's
Speaker 1: an interesting book you should read this car run for
Speaker 1: something that talks about different offices. You can run for
Speaker 1: what you need in order to be able to run
Speaker 1: for office. And I think that we should encourage people,
Speaker 1: especially the younger generation, to be more involved in politics
Speaker 1: and not even just voting, but also running for office.
Speaker 1: I'm definitely gonna read that because right now this is
Speaker 1: just creating. This is the most I've ever been involved
Speaker 1: in politics, because like it's literally directly affecting my people. Again,
Speaker 1: I come to me itself where I've had a white
Speaker 1: man through crack cocaine under my car. Basually I was
Speaker 1: feeling drugs that oh deund police not take away the
Speaker 1: powers and anners out there who feel like they have
Speaker 1: all these power, Like that's crazy to me and I
Speaker 1: just don't understand. I feel like America in the nineteen
Speaker 1: twenty right, well, we gotta salute, we gotta salute Governor
Speaker 1: Cuomo because he did pass a bill yesterday that if
Speaker 1: those Karen's call um, you know they make those fake
Speaker 1: nine one one calls, you know they do go to jail.
Speaker 1: But but, but Joe Biden and this team aren't the brightness.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to realize that I watched Kamala Harris knocked
Speaker 1: that question out the park yesterday on the View when
Speaker 1: they asked her about the funding the police. She did
Speaker 1: a great job. Nancy Pelosi didn't want to even answer
Speaker 1: the question, and Joe Biden's great up fumbled it tone
Speaker 1: deaf is hell. And then when people don't show up
Speaker 1: in November, they're gonna be looking clueless and blaming voters
Speaker 1: for not coming out instead of giving them a reason
Speaker 1: to come out to vote. Are you not paying attention
Speaker 1: to what these kids are out here going through? Yes,
Speaker 1: to fund the police, It's a simple answer. Yes, I
Speaker 1: would like to take funds from the police department and
Speaker 1: invest back into the hoods that need them. Simple. How
Speaker 1: do you blow that question? All right? Get it off
Speaker 1: your chest? Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one.
Speaker 1: Now we got rumors on the way. Yes, Well, let's
Speaker 1: talk about finances the world's highest paid celebrities. Who do
Speaker 1: you think is number one on that list? All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. Keeping locked this to Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast club. She's filling the team. This
Speaker 1: is the rumor of four with Angela Yee on the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Yes, so Forbes put out the world's highest
Speaker 1: paid celebrities, and who do you think was number one
Speaker 1: on the list celebrities, either Rhianna or Kanye was Kylie
Speaker 1: Jenner five hundred and ninety million dollars. Kanye was actually
Speaker 1: number two on that list, by the way, So okay,
Speaker 1: I guess they're keeping in the family. He's worth one
Speaker 1: hundred and well, he pulled in one hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: million dollars. Most of that money came from his Yeasy
Speaker 1: sneaker deal with Adidas. Now, other people who made this
Speaker 1: Rihanna this year she's in the top ten. No, she
Speaker 1: didn't make it into the top ten. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you who did make it in the top ten. Tyler
Speaker 1: Perry's number six on the list. How it's stirring his
Speaker 1: number eight. Lebron is number nine, and Dwayne Johnson is
Speaker 1: number ten. The rock on that top ten lists, I
Speaker 1: know would be in that top ten. Yeah, and a
Speaker 1: lot of old people have one thing in common. They
Speaker 1: all have ownership with something that they're doing. You know,
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry of course, has a lot of ownership. Kylle
Speaker 1: Jenner has ownership, Kanye has ownership. So equity is the
Speaker 1: way to go people. Yeah, did He is number thirty
Speaker 1: seven on the list with fifty five million dollars. Steph
Speaker 1: Curry he's number sixteen with seventy four point four million dollars.
Speaker 1: Other people who made the list Billie Eilish, she made
Speaker 1: fifty three million dollars. Jerry Seinfeld, he's number forty six
Speaker 1: with fifty one million dollars. They also said, because of
Speaker 1: the pandemic, a lot of people that normally would make
Speaker 1: the list like a lot higher up, like a Tillist
Speaker 1: Swift or Paul McCartney. You know, they're a little bit lower. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because of that, but they're still on their list. Now,
Speaker 1: podcasting has made its first appearance because of Bill Simmons,
Speaker 1: who made eighty two point five million dollars and he
Speaker 1: was number thirteen. Yes, on that list. Also lem Manuel Miranda,
Speaker 1: the creator of Hamilton, he made the list for the
Speaker 1: first time. He was number sixty two with forty five
Speaker 1: point five million dollars, So congratulations to him as well.
Speaker 1: Good to see podcasting on that list. That means Joe
Speaker 1: Rogan will probably be there next year. I thought Billy
Speaker 1: Aillis was a girl. Yes, Oh okay, I thought you
Speaker 1: say he all right? Real, she is a girl, all right. Now.
Speaker 1: Speaking of money, Alan Arberson, he set to collect his
Speaker 1: thirty two million dollars trust fund payment in twenty thirty
Speaker 1: when he turns fifty five years old. That's because of
Speaker 1: a lifetime reboke contract that he has, and they've been
Speaker 1: paying him eight hundred thousand dollars a year, so they
Speaker 1: are actually going to be when he turns fifty five.
Speaker 1: So ten years from now he'll be able to get
Speaker 1: that thirty two million dollars trust fund payment. Yeah, somebody
Speaker 1: looked at for AAR when he was young, somebody who
Speaker 1: knew their finances, because I mean, they have a lifetime
Speaker 1: deal getting eight hundred thousand dollars a year, and they
Speaker 1: have that trust phone he turns fifty five, that's great,
Speaker 1: That's that's what it's about. And he's my favorite he's
Speaker 1: my favorite basketball player too. But shout he just had
Speaker 1: a celebrated birthday a couple days ago too. He was
Speaker 1: turning forty five Sunday. Well, but chuck for aar and
Speaker 1: then my finances. Steve Harvey has purchased Tyler Perry's mansion
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and he paid fifteen million dollars for that
Speaker 1: seventeen acres. Tyler Perry built that in two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: sold it in twenty sixteen, and now Steve Harvey owns
Speaker 1: it in twenty twenty. So look, dope, look really really dope.
Speaker 1: Don't you like to see all that property in land
Speaker 1: passed from black hand to black hand? Ain't that's incredible?
Speaker 1: There was somebody in between, But I love to see
Speaker 1: it absolutely all right. And Nick Cannon talks about having
Speaker 1: to have that talk about staying alive with his three
Speaker 1: children to protect them from police brutality. He was talking
Speaker 1: to Access Hollywood, and here's what he said. I made
Speaker 1: a statement that my children fear police. I didn't say
Speaker 1: you should be. I try to teach fearlessness. But when
Speaker 1: they see the energy of law enforcement, when oh, here
Speaker 1: comes the police, or that mindset of sit up straight
Speaker 1: and don't talk, keep your hands where they can see.
Speaker 1: When these are things that I'm talking to a three
Speaker 1: year old about that are nine year olds about, and
Speaker 1: they bring those questions to me, it's hurtful to have
Speaker 1: those conversations with your children, but you want to protect
Speaker 1: them at the end of the day. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a very difficult conversation to have because you don't
Speaker 1: know how much is too much, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: And you don't want to plant seeds that aren't necessarily
Speaker 1: there yet in your children's brains. But the reality of
Speaker 1: the situation is the racism is always really there and
Speaker 1: it's only a matter of time before they experience it overtly,
Speaker 1: are covertly. So it's better them to be prepared with
Speaker 1: what's to come, so it's not a shock to them,
Speaker 1: so they're not surprised. You know, you don't want them,
Speaker 1: you know, thinking that life is sweet when it's not.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your
Speaker 1: rumor report. All right now, when we come back, we
Speaker 1: got front page news what we're talking about, yes, and
Speaker 1: we are gonna be talking about Donald Trump and what
Speaker 1: he has to say about defunding the police. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, all right, morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlemagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. Let's getting
Speaker 1: some front page News where we're starting. Ye, Well, George Floyd,
Speaker 1: his public memorial service was yesterday in Houston and thousands
Speaker 1: of people went to pay respect. Now, one person who
Speaker 1: s folk was Eric Garner's mother, Gwen Carr. Here's what
Speaker 1: he had to say. They have doubled back and claimed
Speaker 1: another life by a chokehole. That's why we have to
Speaker 1: fight for justice. This family is hurt now, just like
Speaker 1: I'm hurt. My hurt don't go away. So that's why
Speaker 1: I know what they are feeling. And just like you're
Speaker 1: out here today, don't go home and don't do anything.
Speaker 1: You're paying your respects. But the most respect you can
Speaker 1: play is to help this family come out even after
Speaker 1: the cameras. The camera's going to be gone in a
Speaker 1: few days. That's right, She's absolutely right. And guess what
Speaker 1: it will be another black person killed at the hands
Speaker 1: of the police, you know, in the next couple of weeks,
Speaker 1: three weeks, if we don't push for some type of
Speaker 1: real systemic change out here in these streets and just
Speaker 1: man through this mechanism called white supremacy. Yeah, we were
Speaker 1: just talking behind the scenes about the gentleman that was
Speaker 1: killed on a New Jersey Turnpike. The police were supposed
Speaker 1: to have body cameras, but they say the police never
Speaker 1: got body cameras. So that you know, another unarmed black
Speaker 1: person was killed and we don't have the old information
Speaker 1: at with that case yet. And today George Floyd's funeral
Speaker 1: will be live stream so you can see that as well.
Speaker 1: It's a private funeral that will take place at the
Speaker 1: Fountain of Praise Church at eleven AM in Houston. And
Speaker 1: that service, again, you can live stream that service. It'll
Speaker 1: be limited to five hundred people. Now. The X Minneapolis
Speaker 1: cop Derek Schabin was in court yesterday and his bill
Speaker 1: was set at up to one point two five million
Speaker 1: dollars for those murder charges. So he's being charged with
Speaker 1: second and third degree murder and second degree manslaughter. But
Speaker 1: they also said that there is gonna be a lot lower. No,
Speaker 1: they said it's gonna well, they said it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a lot lower. They say, once he decides to hand
Speaker 1: over his guns and say that he'll never step close
Speaker 1: to George Floyd's family, that they'll probably lower at bail,
Speaker 1: which is crazy. Been in jail right now for a
Speaker 1: nearly two weeks, so right at this point he'll have
Speaker 1: to post one point two five million if he wants
Speaker 1: to be released with no conditions, but he can be
Speaker 1: released after posting one million dollars bill if he agrees
Speaker 1: to a buy by conditions that includes appearing for all
Speaker 1: future court appearances, not working in a security capacity, and
Speaker 1: not possessing firearms or retaining a firearms permit. I pray
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the money to get up. I'm prayer
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any bail money. I really do, I hope.
Speaker 1: So you know, some of these cops are doing all
Speaker 1: kinds of go fund means and stuff like x police
Speaker 1: officers to try to raise money because the other three
Speaker 1: officers that were charged as well for aiding and a betting.
Speaker 1: All right, now, talk about the Congressional Democrats. They have
Speaker 1: put out a sweeping police reform bill that would ban
Speaker 1: chokeholds like what was used in the death of George
Speaker 1: Floyd last month, and they would also be banning no
Speaker 1: knock warrants and drug cases like what was used in
Speaker 1: the fatal shooting of Brianna Taylor and Louisville, Kentucky, back
Speaker 1: in March. And in addition to that, it would create
Speaker 1: a grant program that would allow state attorney generals to
Speaker 1: create an independent process that would investigate misconduct or excessive
Speaker 1: use of force. And there's a lot of things in
Speaker 1: this bill that they want to have just because you know,
Speaker 1: police departments when you violate, when they violate your civil rights.
Speaker 1: They would make lynching a federal hate crime. They would
Speaker 1: make it easier for people to recover damages when things
Speaker 1: like that happen. And here's what Donald Trump has to
Speaker 1: say also about defunding the police. There won't be defunding.
Speaker 1: There won't be dismantling of our police. Of them are great,
Speaker 1: great people, and they've done jobs that are record setting.
Speaker 1: So our crime statistics are at a level that they
Speaker 1: haven't been at. Kamala Harris anybody else that I was
Speaker 1: gonna say, Kamala Harris was on the view and she
Speaker 1: described what defending the police really is. We have confused
Speaker 1: the idea that to achieve safety, you put more cops
Speaker 1: on the street, instead of understanding to achieve safe and
Speaker 1: healthy communities, you put more resources into the public education
Speaker 1: system of those communities, into affordable housing, into home ownership,
Speaker 1: and to access to capital for small businesses, access to healthcare,
Speaker 1: regardless of how much money people have. That's how you
Speaker 1: achieve safe and healthy communities. And so we really do
Speaker 1: need to understand and reimagine what and how we can
Speaker 1: actually make and help make communities safe. Drop in a
Speaker 1: clues Bons sending to Kamala Harris. That's how you answer
Speaker 1: that question. Don't let Donald Trump of anybody else make
Speaker 1: you think defunding the police is a bad thing. They
Speaker 1: are trying to jedi mind trick, y'all got you thinking
Speaker 1: that the funding the police is expanding the police, abolishing
Speaker 1: the police. Know, the funding the police is taking resources
Speaker 1: from those big as city budgets and putting that money
Speaker 1: into poor and disenfranchise communities. Invest in schools, hospitals for
Speaker 1: better healthcare, housing, better food in the hood, investing social
Speaker 1: services for mental health, job training programs, teach kids trades,
Speaker 1: after school programs, rec centers. By the way, when we
Speaker 1: talk about dis mantling systemic racism, descrowing the mechanism of
Speaker 1: white supremacy, not funding the hood, not funding the black community,
Speaker 1: that's all part of it, because the whole point of
Speaker 1: systemic racism is de marginalized. And that's why people like
Speaker 1: Trump or so against the funding the police. Okay, and listen.
Speaker 1: If you don't like the term to fund the police,
Speaker 1: how about divest invest divest from police budgets to invest
Speaker 1: in the people. You like that better, That makes you
Speaker 1: feel better? Huh? All right, well that is your front
Speaker 1: page news. Yes, and I said the turnpipe, but it's
Speaker 1: actually the Garden State Parkway is where the brother was killed.
Speaker 1: The Garden State Parkway, not the turnpipe. All right. Now,
Speaker 1: when we come back, Jalen and Jacolby will be joining
Speaker 1: us of us from ESPN. We're gonna kick it with
Speaker 1: them when we come back to Don't Move. It's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club pointing everybody's DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Now from ESPN, we have our guys, Jalen and Jacobe.
Speaker 1: Welcome fellas water up too, and you know we got
Speaker 1: to come to the Breakfast Club to give up be
Speaker 1: b what hey, wall I want to say saluting you
Speaker 1: and Jacobe because y'all bring a sense of normalcy to
Speaker 1: my day. Like you know, for the past three months
Speaker 1: I have along, we've been in this little quarantine just
Speaker 1: to be able to turn on ESPN and see y'all
Speaker 1: on TV, whether it's y'all a first take, and the
Speaker 1: fact that y'all find a way to talk about and
Speaker 1: there's no sports is incredible. We definitely appreciate the love
Speaker 1: and support. It feels like both of our shows were
Speaker 1: on to come up at the same time. Each of
Speaker 1: us are similar at age and you guys movement has
Speaker 1: started basically around a day eight, kind of like ours,
Speaker 1: and I've seen you guys continue to grow an inch,
Speaker 1: an inch and inch and become the number one show.
Speaker 1: It's successful in your own right like Wultan clan. So congratulation,
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. Are you excited for the NBA
Speaker 1: season to come back? Did you think this is gonna happen?
Speaker 1: I'm definitely excited about the NBA comeback. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: unorthodox in a lot of ways. It's gonna be like
Speaker 1: reak ball on a Saturday when it's hot outside and
Speaker 1: the wind blowing, no all elements. It's not gonna be chalk.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be upsets, it's gonna be injured players coming
Speaker 1: back to play well. Ultimately, Charlotte Maagne is gonna be
Speaker 1: happy because I believe Lebron James is still find the
Speaker 1: way to win the championship. One thing about the NBA
Speaker 1: announcement that really jumped out to me is there like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring it back to heabrity, go to a Lando,
Speaker 1: we're starting season. Here's the format, and like, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: gonna start all that in July thirty. First, Like what
Speaker 1: are y'all doing for the next eight weeks? Like, what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen? You guys talk about it every day. There's
Speaker 1: something happening called COVID nineteen and it's probably going to
Speaker 1: sight over the next two or three weeks, best on
Speaker 1: a civil unrest, and we're just not socially distancing anymore.
Speaker 1: And so based on that, I think they're built in
Speaker 1: a curve where it can spight in two or three
Speaker 1: weeks and then they can decline into three weeks. What
Speaker 1: the parameters with this? Now? Now I'm hearing that everybody's
Speaker 1: gonna be staying in Disney, They're gonna be playing in Disney,
Speaker 1: not but not allowed to leave, not allowed to see
Speaker 1: family members? What are the parameters with this new league? Go?
Speaker 1: I should say this after COVID nineteen, NBA, well, they
Speaker 1: got what's called a bubble down there and in theory
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to leave. But one thing that they
Speaker 1: are doing, which I appreciate, I know, you've got a
Speaker 1: bunch of kids too, envy is you bring the family,
Speaker 1: you know, you bring the family into the bubble. So
Speaker 1: the kids are gonna get that Disney Hotel to themselves,
Speaker 1: get the pool to themselves, you know. So like the
Speaker 1: kids are gonna be happy, it's just the athletes themselves
Speaker 1: are going to be in that bubble. But it's almost
Speaker 1: impossible not to come in contact or even being shared
Speaker 1: the same air as someone who is outside the bubble.
Speaker 1: So one thing we will see the people aren't really
Speaker 1: talking about is we're gonna see some positive results in
Speaker 1: the NBA and how they deal with that in the
Speaker 1: implications of that. Who really knows what's gonna happen. I
Speaker 1: do think Lebron, I do think the Lakers are gonna win,
Speaker 1: But I'm still not sleeping on the Clippers because for
Speaker 1: me at this point, it's about who was staying in
Speaker 1: shape over the past three months. Absolutely, and each person
Speaker 1: scenario is different. So if you all NBA season vet,
Speaker 1: you got the mansion, the gym, the chef, the trainer,
Speaker 1: your quarantine, and it's not really missing to be other
Speaker 1: than going to the facility, NA see young cats who
Speaker 1: are apartment living, can't work out in the gym, can't
Speaker 1: swim in the pool, don't have access. And so it's
Speaker 1: gonna be great for the people who are married with
Speaker 1: kids to be quarantine and the resort in Orlando and
Speaker 1: ing good. What about the single guys. That's gonna be disaster.
Speaker 1: Now is gonna be to play with no fans because
Speaker 1: you know, players play feed off the energy, they feed
Speaker 1: off the fans, they feed off what's going on. So
Speaker 1: the fact that nobody's did how difficult is that gonna be?
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a completely different game, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It's like the greatness is still going to rise. So
Speaker 1: the Lakers and the Clippers and Yannis and the Bucks
Speaker 1: don't sleep on the Celtics, don't sleep on the Houston
Speaker 1: Rockets and the Shotgun series like this. But you practice
Speaker 1: without fans, and that seems like work. The game is
Speaker 1: with fans, So that's the fun, and that's gonna be missing,
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be interesting to see how the players
Speaker 1: interact with one another, because it was one thing when
Speaker 1: players had a dislike for each other to not have fans.
Speaker 1: But it's another thing. If the players are don't have
Speaker 1: dislike for each other and you can hear what they're saying,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be at home, like, come on, man. If
Speaker 1: the one are like good shot or a good move,
Speaker 1: or if they're complimenting each other too much and you
Speaker 1: can hear it, you're not gonna like to hear that
Speaker 1: as a fan. Do you think athletes have a social
Speaker 1: responsibility to ball players when they come out and come
Speaker 1: back to speak about the protest jail? Absolutely so over
Speaker 1: my shoulder. For those that can't see, it's one of
Speaker 1: my favorite pitchers. It's an iconic one and it's the
Speaker 1: Ali Summit is where Muhammad Ali refused to go to
Speaker 1: the military. Is Luou Center, a young Luout center before
Speaker 1: he was kareemaw Buling Department, Phil Russell is, Jim Brown,
Speaker 1: the greatest players, the greatest champions, the greatest social warriors
Speaker 1: that sports have seen. Our voice always needed to be heard.
Speaker 1: It's just that the masses tried to muszle it. Because
Speaker 1: we helped build this country over five hundred years, and
Speaker 1: now our voices are loud as ever we stand in
Speaker 1: the suburbs. Now we get more money than ever. We
Speaker 1: am bolden now. So when I see Jalen Brown and
Speaker 1: Malcolm Broden with their amazing NBA contracts and security, yet
Speaker 1: their voices of protests being heard on the front line
Speaker 1: and Stephen Jackson, we need that in the swe and
Speaker 1: the ground swell has been to continue to grow because
Speaker 1: unlike the sixties, it's not just black people, it's multiple
Speaker 1: people of different ethnicities that are tired of the oppress
Speaker 1: has taken place in the United States of America. What
Speaker 1: did you guys think about Roger Goodell's statement and what
Speaker 1: do you think it's going to happen moving forward? What
Speaker 1: would you like to see the NFL do now? I
Speaker 1: think his video was great theater, but it was not
Speaker 1: genuine because if it was, he would have mentioned Colin
Speaker 1: Kaepernick by name. And by the way, he didn't do
Speaker 1: the video until thirteen and fourteen, notable NFL players did
Speaker 1: their mixtape version of one for the NFL. That's why
Speaker 1: it's important for you to use your voice if you
Speaker 1: have one, and the larger your platform. I can't lie
Speaker 1: anytime I'm seeing Michael Jordan and Tiger was dropped the statements.
Speaker 1: That's the first time in my life that that's happened
Speaker 1: in my life. And if you know the history of
Speaker 1: America and wh do they have to go all the
Speaker 1: way back to slavery. I'm just talking about anytime there's
Speaker 1: a lot of black voice, many times it becomes something
Speaker 1: that's a predator. And on murder by police officers, people
Speaker 1: we paid to protect, the served of when people out
Speaker 1: there to google fran Hampton, he was murdered at Chicago
Speaker 1: police in the middle of the night. Okay, I can
Speaker 1: give you a hundred of these examples. And so based
Speaker 1: on how we continue to progress as a society, what
Speaker 1: has happened is wait a minute, that happened to George Floyda,
Speaker 1: that happened in a male augury, that happened to Brianna Taylor.
Speaker 1: But then all of a sudden, a buffalo, a seventy
Speaker 1: nine year old elderly man gets pushed by the release
Speaker 1: and ambush and they walk over him while he's on
Speaker 1: the ground bleeding, and you can see the officers pushing
Speaker 1: one another away from each other. So now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, suburban America and white America is looking like
Speaker 1: wait a minute, we hear that you guys are being
Speaker 1: oppressed now that revolution is being televised and it's on
Speaker 1: Instagram and it's on social media. But they're also doing
Speaker 1: this to us as well. Wait a minute, we need
Speaker 1: to unite together and may change. And that's a brown
Speaker 1: swell that makes the enthusiastic about what I'm seeing right now.
Speaker 1: This feels different. This doesn't feel like the first Eric Garner,
Speaker 1: I can't bring. This doesn't it's a paradigm ship. This
Speaker 1: feels like it's gonna be a paradigm ship. I agree with.
Speaker 1: All Right, we got more with Jaylen and Jacobe when
Speaker 1: we come back. Don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlemagne, the guy we are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Jalen and Jacobe. Charlemagne,
Speaker 1: you know what else jailing too, man and I would
Speaker 1: love for you and Jacobe to do this at ESPN,
Speaker 1: like we can't let these corporations turn this into black
Speaker 1: lives marketing, meaning like, Yo, how many people black people
Speaker 1: work at your place of business? How many black people
Speaker 1: do you haven't seeing your roles at your company? How
Speaker 1: many Black people on your board, what does your black
Speaker 1: representation look like? I feel like a thirteen percent of
Speaker 1: Black people make up the population, we should make up
Speaker 1: thirteen percent of all industries when it comes to equity
Speaker 1: ownership and involvement. I don't want to hear nothing about
Speaker 1: no Black lives matter if if your company doesn't reflect that,
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't respond that on behalf ESPN. But
Speaker 1: one thing that I am concerned about, much like you,
Speaker 1: is this needs to happen over years and for the
Speaker 1: change that you're talking about, especially with senior roles. A
Speaker 1: lot of times people make diversity hires, but they make
Speaker 1: those diversity hires the lower ranks of the company and
Speaker 1: it doesn't really change the tip of the spear. So
Speaker 1: I feel like if this needs to happen over weeks
Speaker 1: and weeks and years and years and months and months
Speaker 1: in order to make that real change and to make
Speaker 1: the representation at the top of these big corporations the
Speaker 1: same as the representation in the streets. You know, the
Speaker 1: cross section of the population should be represented at the
Speaker 1: top of the corporation, is not just the bottom. And
Speaker 1: as a founder of a tuition three public charter of
Speaker 1: high school, we just had our six graduation. I started
Speaker 1: the school nine years ago, and when I do those posts,
Speaker 1: or when I graduate eighty students this year, twelve from college,
Speaker 1: and when I service over a thousand students, that's a footnote.
Speaker 1: They ain't even discussed. And so why did I do it?
Speaker 1: Because I realize something. Racism also needed a vaccine. It
Speaker 1: is called education. And we're gonna keep pushing all of
Speaker 1: these black faces that are graduating from our school, and
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of them are going on to college
Speaker 1: or universities and community college because they're gonna be are
Speaker 1: going to be the successful people that can help lead
Speaker 1: the charge that each of you guys talked about on
Speaker 1: the daily basis. Well, we don't celebrate jailing enough for
Speaker 1: that school man dropping a few bombs for jailing in
Speaker 1: a school. Swoth to Lebron. Lebron got this school. Lebron
Speaker 1: gets a lot of attention. Jailing. You've been doing you
Speaker 1: us for nine years. We don't celebrate you enough for
Speaker 1: that completely tuition free amazing. We're of nine through sixteen model.
Speaker 1: So I have four hundred scholars in high school and
Speaker 1: then we have another six hundred between their freshmen and
Speaker 1: fifth year of college. So the reason why I went
Speaker 1: age fourteen to twenty two is because that's when young
Speaker 1: black men and women start to be viewed by society
Speaker 1: as a dangerous species. That's where we start to be overlooked.
Speaker 1: That's what we start to be served. And it's a
Speaker 1: thousand of them that we graduated from high school, graduated
Speaker 1: from college, putting them in trade school. And we're very
Speaker 1: proud of everybody, from our board, to our chaff and
Speaker 1: to all of the parentsons schollege that putting our hard
Speaker 1: work every day. Did you see the picture of yourself
Speaker 1: and they put you in the Hampton University outfit a
Speaker 1: uniform that I've seen Carmelo, Anthony and Morgan State and
Speaker 1: they had Kevin Duran and Howard Yes, Abby, I cannot
Speaker 1: from I afforded that picture to myself. And I'm printing
Speaker 1: that out because the opposite of being a member of
Speaker 1: the Fab five, and that's five guys at a white
Speaker 1: university that was able to change the landscape the way
Speaker 1: we were able to change it. The total opposite of
Speaker 1: that is going to Hampton and having a great time.
Speaker 1: And I know I have fun at Michigan, but I'm
Speaker 1: telling you right now, oh my goodness following to a
Speaker 1: black college man. Please, but how do we get more
Speaker 1: athletes to do it? Because but I've seen that pie
Speaker 1: though it was amazing, I was like, it just takes
Speaker 1: a couple of players, Like how do we you know,
Speaker 1: what do you think about? You know, black player is
Speaker 1: going to HBCU and playing for hbc and you keeping
Speaker 1: the money in the HBCU. I think it would do
Speaker 1: amazing things for those those universities and colleges. All it's
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I'm gonna tell you why. Because players going
Speaker 1: overseas to get a check. Players are able to go
Speaker 1: to the G League to get a check, and a
Speaker 1: couple of years you're gonna be able to leave high
Speaker 1: school and go straight to the NBA Draft. So basically,
Speaker 1: your options to go to a big college or university
Speaker 1: virtus go to an HBCU other than the platform that
Speaker 1: they can provide because they have so much more money,
Speaker 1: the fellowship you get with your people. I came front
Speaker 1: early nineties. I was at Michigan and I was looking
Speaker 1: at outcast video. I was like, Oh, I need to
Speaker 1: get to bringing in and I have a picture of
Speaker 1: myse and Mark Curry in Magic City when I was
Speaker 1: in college, I was like, oh, man, I should go
Speaker 1: to a black school. This is great. So I believe
Speaker 1: it's gonna eventually happen. Now, what do you guys that's
Speaker 1: on James Dolan and his lack of a statement and
Speaker 1: then his leaked email is going out. What do you
Speaker 1: think people are are thinking about James Dolan and going
Speaker 1: to play for the next Well, I would say this
Speaker 1: is not putting out a statement is one thing, right,
Speaker 1: and that to me is wrong. That's just my opinion.
Speaker 1: But to write an email to all of your employees
Speaker 1: explaining while you're not putting out a statement, like, I
Speaker 1: don't understand how that can even happen. Then you start,
Speaker 1: you start taking it to the next level. You're like,
Speaker 1: all right, can we get him out of the league? Right,
Speaker 1: because this isn't the first time. He's a habitual line
Speaker 1: stepper when it comes to this kind of thing. But
Speaker 1: I just don't think the legislatures there. I mean, he
Speaker 1: owns the team, so I don't think that this is
Speaker 1: a quote unquote fireable offense for him. But if I'm
Speaker 1: a free agent, I don't want to go play there.
Speaker 1: I don't want to go there when You've got the
Speaker 1: nets right across the river, why not understand how Katie
Speaker 1: and Kyrie went there. You've got the Child's Oakley incident,
Speaker 1: him yelling at a fan, getting a fan kicked out.
Speaker 1: He needs to just sell the team. Spike Lee. Yeah,
Speaker 1: then Spike Lee exactly. And the problem with this is
Speaker 1: I watched those Forbes lists every year, and the the
Speaker 1: value of the Knicks just keeps going up and up
Speaker 1: and up and up. There's no reason for him to
Speaker 1: sell the team when every single year hundreds of millions
Speaker 1: of dollars in value gets added to that, no matter
Speaker 1: what they put on the floor, no matter what their
Speaker 1: record is. And at this point we're stuck with him.
Speaker 1: And if you're in New yorker's a stupid Jacobe. New
Speaker 1: Yorkers a good agree as I hear you tell the
Speaker 1: James Dolan story. Unfortunately, it reminds me a lot in
Speaker 1: a parallel universe and what's going on in our country.
Speaker 1: So you're talking about somebody that doesn't seem to be inclusive,
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be embracing the Black Lives Matter movement,
Speaker 1: but yet they're making more money off the sweat equity
Speaker 1: that the black players are putting on the floor. I
Speaker 1: see it. I see a common theme there. That's unfortune.
Speaker 1: All right, we got more with Jaylen and Jacobe when
Speaker 1: we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good
Speaker 1: morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy and Jela Yee. Charlomne,
Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking
Speaker 1: in with Jalen and Jacobe. You know, Jealen, you said
Speaker 1: something earlier about micing the players up. I think that
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do that in the NBA. I
Speaker 1: also think that they should find a way to have
Speaker 1: like a live Twitter ticker rolling at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the screen. You know what I mean, what do you
Speaker 1: think of that? Here's the problem with the players aren't
Speaker 1: gonna be miked up, but you're only gonna hear a
Speaker 1: water down version of thinking about this. This is gonna
Speaker 1: be these are gonna be made for TV events. You'll
Speaker 1: hear crowd noise, you might be cut out cardboards and
Speaker 1: people in the stands. There's gonna be people socially distancing.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a made for TV event. And so
Speaker 1: I wish we can hear the true trash talk that
Speaker 1: you guys hear on street ball or what people going
Speaker 1: to play or whatnot. But it's gonna be filtered so
Speaker 1: much by the team, by the league. Yeah, you're gonna
Speaker 1: hear some check up or a one or like normal stuff,
Speaker 1: but you're not gonna hear what they really say when
Speaker 1: they get the technical files, because that's gonna be backed up.
Speaker 1: You don't think social media interaction Jacobe Jailly. I don't
Speaker 1: think that would be good interaction, not from the play.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about people watching it at home gonna be
Speaker 1: cursing on TV. They have to filter that, they have
Speaker 1: to feel. I mean, they could have so they could
Speaker 1: have some sort of curated Twitter live streaming feed, but
Speaker 1: we've tried that sort of thing before and it never
Speaker 1: really hits the way you wanted to, like like I'd
Speaker 1: rather watch the game than read the game, you know.
Speaker 1: And I think that if you we know those coaches
Speaker 1: huddle where they let us in on every time they
Speaker 1: let us into a coaches huddle, they're not saying anything
Speaker 1: like come on, guys, rebound, try hard, because we only
Speaker 1: get like every time I'm like what they're seeing that
Speaker 1: they're talking like seven year olds, like what is this?
Speaker 1: Like this this guy's getting paid ten million dollars to
Speaker 1: say try hard. So there only to give us these
Speaker 1: little tiny stippets, we won't be able to see what's
Speaker 1: really going on. But I want to know. I just
Speaker 1: want to know there's gonna be some There's gonna be
Speaker 1: some lobby bar action going on in Orlando, you know.
Speaker 1: I want to know if our reporters are ready for that,
Speaker 1: you know, because there's gonna be some lobby bar action
Speaker 1: going on. The lobby bar is gonna be popping in Orlando,
Speaker 1: and I want to know who's gonna tell me about
Speaker 1: tell you what bet not happened. I bet I see
Speaker 1: TMT stories because you guys know, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to see nobody on the Angela Yee Report. I just
Speaker 1: hope there's about any cool England between huffans and wives
Speaker 1: of other teams, because that's a time to be in
Speaker 1: the same place at the same time, walking from the
Speaker 1: bar to the pool to the road. I'm just saying, See,
Speaker 1: you could have got away with that previously when you
Speaker 1: were playing, but nowadays, with social media, there's not much
Speaker 1: that people can get away with, you know. And the reader,
Speaker 1: I guess that came to mind because I just saw.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it just happened. I know you
Speaker 1: guys probably noticed. Arizona has a legislation that basically four
Speaker 1: bids civilians from filming the police. Did you guys know this?
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. No, yeah, I didn't know it
Speaker 1: was an Arizona But I've heard of things having that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how about that, Like it's a six hundred dollars farming
Speaker 1: and you're not able to use the footage? Is you're
Speaker 1: the criminal? Absolutely? You know. I thought I thought a
Speaker 1: lot of players upset about Michael Jordan's document and every
Speaker 1: saying that there's certain things that happened that you're not
Speaker 1: supposed to tell publicly. So I would guess that, especially
Speaker 1: in this case when everyone is in Orlando, there's gotta
Speaker 1: be some type of code of silence. Yeah, definitely gonna
Speaker 1: be a code of silence. You're gonna be quarantined. But
Speaker 1: the married guys are with their significant others, in their kids.
Speaker 1: They're enjoying Disney in this big resort to and we
Speaker 1: got it to ourselves. They're in heaven. But the single guys,
Speaker 1: they still have their black car. They don't figure a way.
Speaker 1: Question about that, Doctord y'all have Last Dance fatigue because
Speaker 1: y'all talked about that for at least two months. No way,
Speaker 1: I can watch another ten episodes. I can watch ten.
Speaker 1: I can watch ten episodes of him at the Wizards.
Speaker 1: Everyone look forward to say night. It was true. It
Speaker 1: was It was like true appointment viewing. What did you
Speaker 1: think of how they depicted Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant.
Speaker 1: Here's something I want everybody to get from Last Dance.
Speaker 1: Gary Cross one of the greatest general managers of all time.
Speaker 1: Scottie Pippen one of the top fifty players of all time.
Speaker 1: Horace Grant won three championships and one of the greatest
Speaker 1: pot fours ever doing in the Bulls uniform. All of
Speaker 1: those gentlemen were unhappy about the last days. If I
Speaker 1: Scott pay but I should be at to walk around
Speaker 1: with my chest out with my six rings on and
Speaker 1: celebrate that. But instead they showed so many of his works,
Speaker 1: like all great stories do. It's like he can't even
Speaker 1: be happy, and so I got from it. It's sad
Speaker 1: that they had so much success and they not even
Speaker 1: cool with each other. Scott and Michael ne Goo clearly
Speaker 1: Charlomay dog. He wouldn't even on the team in ninety
Speaker 1: four where he didn't go in the game against the Bulls,
Speaker 1: I mean against the Knicks. M J won't even on
Speaker 1: his blot. They don't have to show that protect documentaries
Speaker 1: and books like m J wasn't even on that. I
Speaker 1: that's your man. There's certain things that you just not
Speaker 1: all right. You know what. I adn't playing that year,
Speaker 1: the miss free throw at ADM. We just playing against them,
Speaker 1: Like I forgot about that. I'm the game. I forgot
Speaker 1: I was, you know. So they did show Michael show
Speaker 1: you know and maybe appreciate the last dance so much
Speaker 1: though you realized that it was oftentimes the Bulls didn't
Speaker 1: have the best team. Y'all had a better d So
Speaker 1: it made me appreciate the journey even more. See, like
Speaker 1: everybody when you count rings, it's like he got six
Speaker 1: and got six a dps And people just assumed that
Speaker 1: they just swept all the way through and was unchallenged
Speaker 1: the entire time. We was beating them about thirteen in
Speaker 1: game seven, and I looked back at the documentary as
Speaker 1: everybody celebrating MJ. He to go, of course, we better
Speaker 1: celebrate MJ. I'm looking at him. I'm like, this dude
Speaker 1: had a pop belly, was smoking a cigar in the
Speaker 1: locker room. They smoking on the plane. We should have
Speaker 1: beat them, I think so. To your point is exactly right.
Speaker 1: He willed them to get it done sometimes even when
Speaker 1: they weren't for the best squad, and that was definitely
Speaker 1: one of those. Shoot. But Jayleen, I want to talk
Speaker 1: you about the Pistons, Drake, how come to two thousand
Speaker 1: four Pistons who upset the Laker's team don't get spoken
Speaker 1: about like that because they came along in an era
Speaker 1: of dominant dynasties from two thousand to two thousand and ten.
Speaker 1: Shaq Kobe Tim Duncan took all of the rings like
Speaker 1: MJ did in the nineties. But if you look from
Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven two now Lebron does have his three,
Speaker 1: but so the Steph Kauai has two. So like different
Speaker 1: players now that are great are also getting the chance
Speaker 1: to make their mark. And so that's why our Detroit
Speaker 1: Pistons bad boys too. Thank you for giving them love.
Speaker 1: Chauncey Rill big Ben should be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: Rashid Threes and seven foot talk jay Shawn Prince got
Speaker 1: when she was getting texts. I was watching the n
Speaker 1: Y a player in the league. I was like, I
Speaker 1: wish every time a player got a tech the money
Speaker 1: stayed in the hood. I actually pitched that to the league.
Speaker 1: What happens to that tech money he played with? Destroy
Speaker 1: if they get a tech at the end of the year,
Speaker 1: it's three hundred and fifty thousand dollars work for checks
Speaker 1: when they should be doing this, going different places and
Speaker 1: showing young people look at all of these clips and
Speaker 1: meet getting texts. This is how you deal with your
Speaker 1: angle managers. Man, this is how you deal with your
Speaker 1: social issues at work. Here's a big blank check works well.
Speaker 1: Thank you guys for joining us. Brother, We appreciate y'all
Speaker 1: for checking in the old into Kobe, appreciate the big
Speaker 1: fans of this show. To the honor to be on
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. It is an honor to be on
Speaker 1: a Breakfast Club. Man. We love y'all show we talk
Speaker 1: about all the time. Thank you so much. Check us
Speaker 1: out every day at four pm on ESPN. And when
Speaker 1: Jacobe was growing up in Amurs, Massachusetts, he never would
Speaker 1: have thought he'd be on the Breakfast Club. It's Jaialen
Speaker 1: and Jacobe. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, this is
Speaker 1: just oh Gosport. Yes, So Noah forty should be from
Speaker 1: Ovo actually had some things to say the Rolling Stone
Speaker 1: about Push the Tea and his story of Addidan. Now,
Speaker 1: just to give you guys a reminder, here's what push
Speaker 1: your t had to say. And this this song to
Speaker 1: drake over your forty hunched over like how much timing
Speaker 1: got that man? Now forty did an interview with Rolling
Speaker 1: Stone where he replied and said, I guess all I'll
Speaker 1: say is that was just a different thing for me,
Speaker 1: different than a bar that he gets off. No real comment.
Speaker 1: I made my comment. It was National MS Awareness Day. Ultimately, Ultimately,
Speaker 1: I like turning things into positive situations or brightest eyes,
Speaker 1: and if that brings awareness to my disease on a
Speaker 1: bigger level, I was happy about that. That's what I
Speaker 1: used it for. He said that, ultimately is a good
Speaker 1: thing for me. I like that transaction we had from
Speaker 1: that perspective. I'm very vocal about it. But he said
Speaker 1: that he did think it crossed the line. He said
Speaker 1: that was something different than are so he said, that's cool.
Speaker 1: I barely know that guy, Well, no disrespect to forty,
Speaker 1: salute to him. But you know, that is what a
Speaker 1: disc bar sounds like in America. Now, the Canadian bars
Speaker 1: might be a little light, so you might not be
Speaker 1: used to that kind of smoke, But that good old
Speaker 1: Virginiae smoke in a dish record, that's what it sounds like.
Speaker 1: So it's supposed to go too far. It's supposed to
Speaker 1: hurt your feelings, it's supposed to pish you off. That
Speaker 1: was the point. Yeah, I feel him though. Man, if
Speaker 1: you know anybody who has ms, it is such a
Speaker 1: difficult thing to have to deal with, like and it's
Speaker 1: not anything that anybody can help. So that's just you know,
Speaker 1: I get it. It is a battle, you know, it's
Speaker 1: kind of what are the rules in the battle? Like
Speaker 1: we've seen people go too far? And you know, what
Speaker 1: are what are the rules? What is too far? What
Speaker 1: can I say? What can I say? You know, it's
Speaker 1: kind of difficult, that's the whole point of the battle.
Speaker 1: I want to hurt you mentally, I want to hurt
Speaker 1: you emotionally. Push. You knew what he was doing, push push.
Speaker 1: It took something that he knew. Probably bothers forty and
Speaker 1: hit him with it. That's off it is, but that's
Speaker 1: battle rapp Have you ever listened to Battle Rappers? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: of course, I just you know, and forty wasn't really
Speaker 1: part of that beef. You know what I'm saying. It
Speaker 1: ain't like he was going back and forth. So I
Speaker 1: get it. Sometimes you gotta catch you scraves. When I'm shooting,
Speaker 1: I'm shooting at the whole O veel, somebody gonna get hit,
Speaker 1: all right now, Tory Lanes versus Spectacular, this was a
Speaker 1: beef we didn't anticipate happening. So apparently this is how
Speaker 1: it all started on social media of course. Now they
Speaker 1: started with Tory Lane saying to Akon, so what y'all
Speaker 1: telling me is Acon gave the locked up remixample to
Speaker 1: someone else and not me. I'm going back to Batman
Speaker 1: and Spectacular responded and said, you should have just stole
Speaker 1: it like grind on me in your body? Why stop now?
Speaker 1: Just keeping it two virgils, And then Tory Lanes responded,
Speaker 1: stole what Actually, I bought the rights from whoever signed
Speaker 1: you and publishes your music. But I guess you weren't
Speaker 1: a part of that conversation. Go staring someone's eyes and
Speaker 1: rub on someone's dighs and leave me out of this
Speaker 1: mone good night. My brother did somebody else and look,
Speaker 1: that was the same thing, and they said, no, that
Speaker 1: was the same It was the same story. But it's
Speaker 1: more to the story. Now. That's all you hear is
Speaker 1: rubbing on dis out of everything else you hear hood
Speaker 1: you hit mad and rubbing on dives. Look ahead, Ye
Speaker 1: well here is spectacular breaking down what happened. When I
Speaker 1: talked about stilling my record. I'm talking about sampling my record.
Speaker 1: You put out ground on me, not even hauling at me,
Speaker 1: after we was already having conversations, and then you put
Speaker 1: out yes, sir, your body and you literally called me
Speaker 1: on the phone. You talked to me, bro and asked me,
Speaker 1: can I get on the record for you? I couldn't
Speaker 1: make it because I was on tour. You know I
Speaker 1: was on tour. Bro, You can't at my meet and greet, Bro.
Speaker 1: And the first thing you said to me was you're
Speaker 1: still mad at me. Huh, I'll just pay you back
Speaker 1: that money. Did you know what you did? Bro? We
Speaker 1: did a record together and you just ran off on me.
Speaker 1: You got my record snaps down and everything, Bro, and
Speaker 1: you still to this day never made that right. Come on, Spectacle,
Speaker 1: you got better things to do, man, go find some cash.
Speaker 1: And I was behind the cat memes. Spectacular went on
Speaker 1: to explain that he still did do some clearances for Tory.
Speaker 1: Here's what he said. And then still after that, I
Speaker 1: still cleared yourself for you. Like I said, I own
Speaker 1: my masters, can't and get clear without me giving the
Speaker 1: green light. Bro, But I supported you even though you
Speaker 1: did me wrong. You know exactly what's going on, and
Speaker 1: nobody ain't ever know that story that was years ago,
Speaker 1: bro into now it's because you're capping. So I gotta
Speaker 1: say something now. Tory Lanes did clapp back to let
Speaker 1: him know that he did get his paperwork correct, and
Speaker 1: he actually provided receipts to show that he got the
Speaker 1: clearance for the record and that he paid for it.
Speaker 1: The writers were paid and all of that. Yeah, Tory Lanes,
Speaker 1: he did it diligent. Like I said, if it comes
Speaker 1: out and it's on streaming service, nine times out of
Speaker 1: ten they had to do the proper paperwork. No label
Speaker 1: is gonna let anything go without the proper paperwork being done.
Speaker 1: So it looks like Tory Lane cleared that record's a
Speaker 1: silly thing to be going back and forth. Yea silly
Speaker 1: right now it is. I don't have time. I'm on
Speaker 1: my trampoline, all right now, Donald Trump, his only liked
Speaker 1: tweet is about Insecure, and everybody's really confused and felt.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he watches Insecure and really meant
Speaker 1: to go ahead and like an Insecure tweet, but or
Speaker 1: if you know how sometimes you like something by an accident.
Speaker 1: I do that all the time. I know that, and
Speaker 1: I follow tweet now the like by accident. Now the
Speaker 1: tweet that he liked is this is how I wanted
Speaker 1: tonight's episode of Insecure to end, Damn Molly. And so
Speaker 1: Donald Trump like that. I told listen, I told Von Org.
Speaker 1: People is mad at Molly. Even Donald Trump was pissed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna get that. He's gonna try to get that
Speaker 1: black What were you gonna see him watching all types
Speaker 1: of stuff? Now, Donald Trump watched Insecure the one tweet
Speaker 1: like now, he said, Ray responded, what the F is this?
Speaker 1: So that was her response to finding out And yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of people were confused about that. All right.
Speaker 1: Matt Burns is saying that some NBA players say they're
Speaker 1: not going to be comfortable playing until racial injustice is
Speaker 1: a dressed. And here is what Matt Barnes says. Some
Speaker 1: guys have said from the Lakers and the Clippers. Snoop
Speaker 1: hit me the other day too, talking about it because
Speaker 1: I talked to a few guys not to mention no names,
Speaker 1: and he said he had talked to a couple of
Speaker 1: guys from the Lakers and the Clippers, and you know
Speaker 1: there's some whispers about, you know, some teams not being comfortable.
Speaker 1: Some guys want to play, some guys don't want to play,
Speaker 1: all right. I feel that. You know, it's hard to
Speaker 1: work for an organization when you feel like they don't
Speaker 1: address certain things that really affect you directly, and you
Speaker 1: make those organizations X amount of dollars, you know what
Speaker 1: I like. And I know y'all know I work with
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets and the Barclays and the New York Liberty.
Speaker 1: But Josie, who is on the Brooklyn That's governing team,
Speaker 1: I guess that's what they call it. He said. In Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: The Plaza at Flatbush in Atlantic has become a place
Speaker 1: for people to assemble and have their voice heard. And
Speaker 1: when you see a lot of people are protesting in Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: it is right outside the Barclays, he said. If it
Speaker 1: continues to serve as a place where everyone from our community,
Speaker 1: from residents to businesses to police alike, gathered peacefully to
Speaker 1: listen to each other and find common ground, then it's
Speaker 1: good with me. So he's all for it. And I
Speaker 1: like that type of energy for people. So, you know,
Speaker 1: shout out to the Brooklyn Nets and the New York
Speaker 1: Liberty and the Barclays. All right, well I'm Angela Yee
Speaker 1: and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you,
Speaker 1: miss ye. Now, Charlomage, whore you giving that donkey too?
Speaker 1: We need Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and all those white
Speaker 1: members of Congress who decided to can't take Clough and
Speaker 1: Neil yesterday to come to the front of the congregation.
Speaker 1: We'd like to have a word with him. All right,
Speaker 1: I'll get into that. We'll get into that next. Keep
Speaker 1: a lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the God we all
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. And now if you just joined us,
Speaker 1: we've been talking about defunding the police, and we're asking
Speaker 1: what were your thoughts. Yeah, it was three people who
Speaker 1: answered this question yesterday, well before, because Nancy Pelosi got
Speaker 1: asked it, but she chose not to answer. Can we
Speaker 1: play Donald Trump when he was asked about defunding the police.
Speaker 1: There won't be defunding. There won't be dismantling of our police.
Speaker 1: Out of them are great, great people, and they've done
Speaker 1: jobs that are record setting. So our crime statistics are
Speaker 1: at a level that they haven't been at. And can
Speaker 1: we play Joe Biden when he was asked about the
Speaker 1: funding the police. No, I don't support defunding the police.
Speaker 1: I support conditioning federal aid the police based on whether
Speaker 1: or not they meet certain basic standards of decency, on honorableness,
Speaker 1: and in fact are able to demonstrate they can protect
Speaker 1: the community and everybody in the Canada. And we place
Speaker 1: in the ta Kamala Harris when she was asked about
Speaker 1: the funding the police. We have confused the idea that
Speaker 1: to achieve safety, you put more cops on the street,
Speaker 1: instead of understanding to achieve safe and healthy communities, you
Speaker 1: put more resources into the public education system of those communities,
Speaker 1: into affordable housing, into homeownership, into access to capital for
Speaker 1: small businesses, access to healthcare, regardless of how much money
Speaker 1: people have. That's how you achieve safe and healthy communities.
Speaker 1: And so we really do need to understand and reimagine
Speaker 1: what and how we can actually make and help make
Speaker 1: communities safe. One of those people answered the question correctly. Okay,
Speaker 1: and that person is not running for president, all right,
Speaker 1: but she needs to be on somebody's ticket because that's
Speaker 1: how you answer that question. Don't let Donald Trump, are
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, or anyone else make you think the funding
Speaker 1: the police is a bad thing. They are trying to
Speaker 1: Jedi mind trick us. They got us thinking that the
Speaker 1: funding the police is disbanding the police, abolishing the police. No,
Speaker 1: the funding the police is simply taking tens of millions,
Speaker 1: hundreds of millions of dollars sometimes billions of dollars out
Speaker 1: of police budgets and putting that money back into the hood,
Speaker 1: pouring disenfranchise communities, investing schools, hospitals for better healthcare, housing,
Speaker 1: better food in the hood, investing social services for mental health,
Speaker 1: job training programs, teach kids, trades, so many different grams,
Speaker 1: direct centers, absolutely, so many different things that the community needs.
Speaker 1: But billion dollars a year. It's it's a lot of money.
Speaker 1: And I still knows. I know you said you don't
Speaker 1: want to see, but I want to see where they're
Speaker 1: spending this money before this, where are they Where are
Speaker 1: they spending this money, because they've gotta be some crooked
Speaker 1: ish going on. That's what I'm assuming six billion dollars
Speaker 1: because them officers ain't rich. Them officers ain't bawling, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And listen when you talk about
Speaker 1: this man less systemic racism, when you talk about descrowing
Speaker 1: the mechanism of white supremacy, not funding the hood, not
Speaker 1: funding the black community is part of that. The whole
Speaker 1: point of systemic racism, I keep telling y'all is the
Speaker 1: marginalized black people. That's why you shouldn't trust anyone who's
Speaker 1: against the funding the police, because they are upholding systemic racism.
Speaker 1: Not to mention, how tone deaf can you be if
Speaker 1: you're Joe Biden. Remember the young lady who called up
Speaker 1: here earlier and said she's been in the streets protesting,
Speaker 1: and you know, the young people are calling for the
Speaker 1: funding of the police, so they they're all for investing
Speaker 1: in the communities, that's why aren't you listening to the people.
Speaker 1: People here Joe Biden saying the same thing as Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and they like f both of them. I'm staying home
Speaker 1: in November style, Like, I don't care if you have
Speaker 1: to change the phrasing. Instead of saying to fund the police,
Speaker 1: say divest and invest divest from you know, police budgets,
Speaker 1: to invest in the people. Say that whatever, whatever makes
Speaker 1: you feel better. But the funding the police is not
Speaker 1: a bad thing. People, well police, it's not abolishing the police. Correct.
Speaker 1: In New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio did pledge
Speaker 1: for the first time to cut the police funding in
Speaker 1: the city. So he did say that we're going to
Speaker 1: shift funding the youth services to social services, and that
Speaker 1: will happen literally in the course of the next three weeks.
Speaker 1: But he said he hasn't gone into detail yet because
Speaker 1: they're still negotiating and figuring out what makes sense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and now correct me if I'm wrong, because now I
Speaker 1: read this yesterday and it said that in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one they're gonna cut the fiscal budget. But part of
Speaker 1: cutting the budget is not just cutting the police budget,
Speaker 1: is cutting education and housing. That makes no sense to
Speaker 1: me cut the police budget and take that money and
Speaker 1: put it into education and housing. He said, they're gonna
Speaker 1: shift that funding. So will see what happens, because, like
Speaker 1: you said, they're in negotiations. So once they present what
Speaker 1: they're doing with that budget them, we'll be able to
Speaker 1: speak on it. Yeah, what we're realizing it is that
Speaker 1: you know, they make money and move money when they
Speaker 1: need money to be moved. You know, you talk about
Speaker 1: six billion dollars, like I want to know for the
Speaker 1: last couple of years, where were these billions of dollars going.
Speaker 1: And not only that, we see them just throw a
Speaker 1: trillion dollars into the economy. So when the money is needed,
Speaker 1: they get it. So you don't think kids need books,
Speaker 1: and kids need laptops, and kids need better schooling and
Speaker 1: teachers need more money. And rec centers that they've been
Speaker 1: closing down. They're saying that there's so many kids on
Speaker 1: the streets with nothing to do. Well, there's no rec
Speaker 1: centers around. There's nowhere for these kids to go. They
Speaker 1: can't play basketball, they can't play organized sports, they can't
Speaker 1: learn how to do things in tech, or to learn
Speaker 1: how to invest or get their mental health right. So
Speaker 1: let's go to the phone. Don't invest in the hood.
Speaker 1: They don't invest in black and brown communities simply because
Speaker 1: they don't want to. But we do have some police
Speaker 1: officers on the line. Eight hundred five eight five one
Speaker 1: oh five one. Hello, who's this? Are you doing this?
Speaker 1: His officer? Body of North Carolina? Hey, officer's happening in
Speaker 1: my brother? How you knowing? How y'are doing Saloma envy?
Speaker 1: How y'are doing angel? How you're doing to us? Let's
Speaker 1: talk about the fund of the police. Go ahead, let's
Speaker 1: talk about it. Okay, Well, first of all, the George
Speaker 1: Floyd situation, that is not police officer. That is not
Speaker 1: what we're trained to do. That is none of our tactics.
Speaker 1: That is not what we're supposed to do. So that
Speaker 1: was just basically somebody that's on the outside of that's
Speaker 1: not a respectable officer. That is a that is a
Speaker 1: gang member, that's a true gang member. True, you know,
Speaker 1: that is not what we're supposed to do as an officer.
Speaker 1: First of all, thinking of all about the fund of
Speaker 1: the police, I am for it because of me. I
Speaker 1: live in North Carolina, a small community which you know
Speaker 1: is poverty basically and I want to see my community
Speaker 1: upbring with more, you know, churches built more, or mental
Speaker 1: health facilities built more, job training. We just need more
Speaker 1: in my community as as a whole. And we hold
Speaker 1: eighty officers, which is a two million dollars budget we have,
Speaker 1: and I'm only making, you know, around eighteen dollars an hour.
Speaker 1: So where's the rest of them? What I'm saying, we
Speaker 1: got a two million dollar budget, now that's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We we with our vehicles. We're still driving Crown vict
Speaker 1: and we may have a Dodge Charter or two. So
Speaker 1: where's our money going. It's not going it's not going
Speaker 1: in a new equipment we can use on the job.
Speaker 1: So where's that going? Somebody please make me? And that's
Speaker 1: and that's going on all across the country. It's not
Speaker 1: like police officers are making like these these crazy amounts
Speaker 1: of money. It's not like all of y'all driving camaros
Speaker 1: and toils. You got the Crown Victor, the Crown Victorious
Speaker 1: that I do with one hundred and fifty thousand miles
Speaker 1: on it. God damn man, and appreciate you all right.
Speaker 1: He has questions. He has questions too, Officers the years
Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about. Salute the officer, Brody man.
Speaker 1: It's such a simple concept. Divevest from police budgets to
Speaker 1: invest into people. We're not talking about abolishing police or
Speaker 1: disbanding police. We're talking about defunding. That's it. They make
Speaker 1: stupid money. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.
Speaker 1: Let's talk more. We're talking to funding police. What are
Speaker 1: your thoughts? It is the breakfast club, Good morning morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we
Speaker 1: are the breakfast club. Now if he just joined us,
Speaker 1: We're talking about defunding the police and what are your thoughts.
Speaker 1: We have a couple of officers on the line. Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this? Hi? This is Quincy. Hey, Quincy, what are
Speaker 1: you calling from? I am calling from Long Allen, but
Speaker 1: I'm a Brooklyn nabor Any police officer. Okay, how long
Speaker 1: you've been on the job? Ye? Excuse me? How long
Speaker 1: you've been on the job? Only sixteen years? Wow, that's
Speaker 1: talk us about the fund of the police. What are
Speaker 1: you what are your thoughts? Well, first of all, I
Speaker 1: grew up in Canarsi in Brownsville, so up in those
Speaker 1: areas and working in those areas. The first thing I
Speaker 1: agree with Envy. I don't know if it's envy your sundman,
Speaker 1: but you have stated about defunding NYPD. We're underpaid, but
Speaker 1: that's a mistake. We're struggling with the most underpaid police
Speaker 1: department and we work the hardest second and with a
Speaker 1: six billion dollar budget exactly, and we're not getting the money.
Speaker 1: So please don't mistake that. Now. What they need to
Speaker 1: do is dismantle the NYPD. They need to start from scratch,
Speaker 1: start her love working on. They're working on old school
Speaker 1: policies and an old school way of thinking. They still
Speaker 1: got that mentality. It's a it's a white boy world period.
Speaker 1: We're gonna We're gonna call it what it is, and
Speaker 1: I deal with it as well. But in restments to
Speaker 1: the youth, there have to be more hands on. A
Speaker 1: man dated um one pitt or a police academy training
Speaker 1: twice a year is not going to cut it. They
Speaker 1: have to go into the community. You have to work
Speaker 1: with you have to work with the people. And I'm
Speaker 1: not saying three or four officers are precinct. Okay, if
Speaker 1: that's full and under the community of fagures or the
Speaker 1: NFL program. It is not going to cut it. I
Speaker 1: mean every officer and I mean even when they're in
Speaker 1: your taddy didn't need to go out. That's not nothing
Speaker 1: that's ever been implemented. Right, I agree with that. I've
Speaker 1: always felt like that. More more, my mother was a
Speaker 1: police officer as well. You know, they had those four
Speaker 1: grams where else you knew the officer. We met Ruth
Speaker 1: some of those days on the first name basis. Absolutely
Speaker 1: no longer like that. And you gotta remember now, I
Speaker 1: have two black guns. They're twenty twenty seven. These are
Speaker 1: the police officer you're dealing with, and most of them
Speaker 1: are from Long Island. Okay, so you're working with kids, right,
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question. You know when my dad,
Speaker 1: when my dad was an officer, they made you stay
Speaker 1: in the boroughs for a couple of years and they
Speaker 1: even gave you, i think a discount on your pension
Speaker 1: on taxes and things like that. Do they still have
Speaker 1: that now where you have to stay in the boroughs
Speaker 1: to say you live in Long Island? Absolutely not, absolutely not.
Speaker 1: I mean that's a that's a that's old school. That's
Speaker 1: when my mother came on as well, you know, and
Speaker 1: if you got to remember, there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: in the city that are not taking the exam. I
Speaker 1: spoke to a kid one day off a few years
Speaker 1: ago at dinner. He was a waiter. I commenced him.
Speaker 1: I was like, take the test. You're a young black kid.
Speaker 1: We do more people that look like us. Seeing him
Speaker 1: a few years he's in a plane cloch program. He
Speaker 1: was like, it was because of you, and it actually
Speaker 1: made me feel real good despite my personal belief with
Speaker 1: the department. And I also tell people that a lot
Speaker 1: of officers don't make a lot of money, so they
Speaker 1: rely on overtime and take a lot of overtime to
Speaker 1: compensate for the money that's needed. So that's why a
Speaker 1: lot of officers do so much overtime because they're not
Speaker 1: getting paid that much, so they need that overtime to
Speaker 1: make sure they could take care of their family. Yeah. Sure, No,
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, you know, I agree with
Speaker 1: everything that you're saying, especially about having people from the
Speaker 1: community athletice officers. But the problem I have is that
Speaker 1: the reason I believe in defunding the police so strongly,
Speaker 1: it is because more police officers on the street won't
Speaker 1: reduce crime more opportunity in these communities. Well, when you
Speaker 1: start investing into the schools and the hospitals and job
Speaker 1: training programs, and invest in social services for mental health,
Speaker 1: and you invest in trades, when you provide these people
Speaker 1: in the hood with more opportunities, crime is automatically gonna
Speaker 1: go down. So it makes everybody's life easier, police and
Speaker 1: citizens of the community. Yes, but that's an overall problem
Speaker 1: for the city. We're in a deficit right now, so
Speaker 1: of course those programs for those I don't mind take
Speaker 1: the money if you defunded certain things for us and
Speaker 1: you allocate it, because that will help our problem. The
Speaker 1: majority of our problems are dealing with people with mental health.
Speaker 1: That's the bulk of the day. Yeah, but thank you
Speaker 1: so much for calling it, and be safe out there. Please.
Speaker 1: Let's deal moral to the story. The moral of the
Speaker 1: story is, don't let Donald Trump or anyone else make
Speaker 1: you think defunding the police is a bad thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: Defunding the police is literally just taking money from the
Speaker 1: police department and investing it back into the schools, hospitals,
Speaker 1: better food in the hood, social services for mental health.
Speaker 1: You heard what the young lady just said just now,
Speaker 1: majority of that day is officers dealing with people with
Speaker 1: mental health issues, job training programs, teach kids trades, bring
Speaker 1: back after school programs, rexenters. You have to make an
Speaker 1: investment into your community, and it's not going to these
Speaker 1: police officers pockets anyway. So what's the problem. Who's getting
Speaker 1: this money? Six billion dollars for the NYPD? Come on, man,
Speaker 1: clearly you can say, you can see what's been happening
Speaker 1: isn't working, and that's why these protests are happening, and
Speaker 1: that's why there's police brutality at protests against police brutality. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the whole point of systemic racism is the marginalized black people.
Speaker 1: That's why people are against the funding of the police,
Speaker 1: because how dare they take money and actually fund the
Speaker 1: hood with it. You can't fund you. I don't mean
Speaker 1: to say the N word. Can't fund you Black folks,
Speaker 1: just speaking like how the white man would speak when
Speaker 1: they're talking about y'all. Okay, talking about it, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, now we got rumors of the way, Well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. Let's about black LGBTQ, right, and
Speaker 1: Billy Porter is speaking up for the black LGBTQ community
Speaker 1: and calling out Black Lives Matter movement for not being
Speaker 1: more inclusive of them. All right, we'll get into that next.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This
Speaker 1: is the rule of Report with Angela Ye. Well. Billy
Speaker 1: Porter has been critical of people in the black community
Speaker 1: who have not prioritized the well being of those who
Speaker 1: are not straight and cist gender as well. Here's what
Speaker 1: he had to say, as a black queer man in America,
Speaker 1: my basic human rights have been up for legislation every
Speaker 1: single day from all sides. And by that I mean
Speaker 1: that the black community's relationship, but the LGBTQ plus community
Speaker 1: is appalling and eerily similar to that of white supremacists
Speaker 1: versus Black folk. You cannot fact our demands of equality
Speaker 1: to be met with any real legislative policy and change
Speaker 1: when y'all turn around and inflict the same kind of
Speaker 1: hate and oppression on us. I know you guys probably
Speaker 1: saw this video of Ayannador. She's a black trans women
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis, and they were beating her. She had to
Speaker 1: actually go hide behind the counter in the store and
Speaker 1: then get taken into the back so they wouldn't beat
Speaker 1: her up. For being as a black trans woman, and
Speaker 1: so he was discussing that as well. There's the thing,
Speaker 1: Billy Porter, I gotta disagree. Black people not treat gay
Speaker 1: people like white supremacists treat black people. White supremacists treat
Speaker 1: gay people like white supremacists treat everybody. Like all of
Speaker 1: the rights that the LGBT community have have fought for
Speaker 1: are fighting for. Y'all were fighting the black community for that.
Speaker 1: That was happening in courtrooms, You're fighting civil rights in congress,
Speaker 1: marriage equality, that was a government issue, the same government
Speaker 1: that black people fight on a daily basis. White supremacy
Speaker 1: is is is a threat to all of us. Okay,
Speaker 1: same sex marriage, you know, gaye serving in the military,
Speaker 1: gage fighting to have better discrimination laws, you know in
Speaker 1: the states that they live in. Like that fight wasn't
Speaker 1: against black people. That was against the same old white
Speaker 1: man that's oppressing all of us. So don't don't say that,
Speaker 1: you know, black people treat you like white supremacists. That's
Speaker 1: a scratch. Can we be more tolerant of gay people
Speaker 1: in our community, Absolutely, But to compare black people to
Speaker 1: white supremacists, no, no way. I mean, that's a difficult comparison.
Speaker 1: But I do agree that people do have to be
Speaker 1: more inclusive when it comes to the LGBTQ plus community,
Speaker 1: and I still do see a lot of hatred toward them.
Speaker 1: So I think that's the message. Comparisons, But to comparison
Speaker 1: to white supremacists, Like black people don't have no system
Speaker 1: that we control that marginalizes people, that keeps people from
Speaker 1: you know, being married if they want to, that keeps
Speaker 1: gay people out of the military, like that, that's not us, Like,
Speaker 1: don't compare, don't come he had a black community to
Speaker 1: the white supremacist Billy Jesus Christ. That's a re all right. Now.
Speaker 1: Evelyn Lozada has defended her ex fiance, Carl Crawford. She
Speaker 1: has a time with him, you know, and she spoke
Speaker 1: out because people were saying that she too was a
Speaker 1: victim of domestic violence during the time that she was
Speaker 1: with him, and she got very emotional discussing co parenting.
Speaker 1: But she also wanted to clear up that he did
Speaker 1: not ever attack her. So I refuse to sit here
Speaker 1: and allow the world or anybody to change my story
Speaker 1: and my truth. By no means am I trying to
Speaker 1: discredit anyone else's story. I'm just talking about my personal
Speaker 1: experience because I was engaged to be married to this man.
Speaker 1: I was with him for four years, and for any
Speaker 1: blogger or reporter to switch up the story as to
Speaker 1: why we broke up, I think is disgusting. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: just stated she's never been attacked by him, and she's
Speaker 1: never seen that person at the news has been reportant
Speaker 1: daddy right right, She's she said, he's never been violent,
Speaker 1: he's never been threatening. They have a positive relationship and
Speaker 1: they do have a son together, so she wants to
Speaker 1: make sure and she said she hates that she has
Speaker 1: to address this right now, but she doesn't want people
Speaker 1: to say that that was her story also because it's not.
Speaker 1: That wasn't her experience, all right. Rihanna, Billy Eilish and
Speaker 1: Arianna Grande have joined musicians who are petitioning. They're calling
Speaker 1: for the New York police reform and in particular, one
Speaker 1: of the laws that they want to reform is the
Speaker 1: New York States Civil Rights Law fifty A. And that law,
Speaker 1: and you guys might have been hearing a lot about
Speaker 1: this keeps police personnel files confidential, so if there's any
Speaker 1: misconduct anything like that, they are confidential and not subject
Speaker 1: to inspection or review unless you know, the court says
Speaker 1: that they need to go ahead and release that by
Speaker 1: a lawful court order, so what they want to do,
Speaker 1: and I agree with this. People should be able to
Speaker 1: see if an officer has been disciplined multiple times, those
Speaker 1: records should be available for the public, because I think
Speaker 1: that would be really helpful in police officers knowing that
Speaker 1: their bad behavior will be on display, or even complaints
Speaker 1: like you know we you know, Ye and I had
Speaker 1: a problem with the same officer at different times. I'll
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I didn't make a complaint because
Speaker 1: I just didn't. I didn't feel like it would do anything.
Speaker 1: And Ye didn't straight to the Civilian Complaints Review Board
Speaker 1: and you go online, you follow a complaint, but then
Speaker 1: after that you have to still go in and you
Speaker 1: have to do some type of mediation. And I did
Speaker 1: all of that, but I'm like, what happens after that?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Even if and the woman
Speaker 1: who did our mediation did side with me and feel
Speaker 1: that he was being overly aggressive even in that hearing
Speaker 1: that we had together, but then what happens. No, No,
Speaker 1: I want that to be display. Yeah, I mean what
Speaker 1: job doesn't have that though, Even if you end up
Speaker 1: getting fired, they will go to your HR record quick, yeah,
Speaker 1: record this, this, this, this, this, he had to complaint
Speaker 1: about this, this, and this should be the same for
Speaker 1: the police, and it should happened before you get fired.
Speaker 1: It should be on display so that you know if
Speaker 1: you've done X amount of things. I don't want to
Speaker 1: see police officers that had seventy cases of being overly
Speaker 1: aggressive and whatever it is that they did, and all
Speaker 1: these complaints against them, and then they're still on the
Speaker 1: police force. You know what I mean. That's ridiculous. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: I'm Angela Yee and that is your room of report.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, miss Ye. Now shout out to revote.
Speaker 1: We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice mixes
Speaker 1: up next, get your requesting. It's the Breakfast Club. Good
Speaker 1: morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy.
Speaker 1: We all the Breakfast Club from the King's Run. We're
Speaker 1: kicking it with Sean Jenkins and Sharon Mussali. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much, Thank you for having us, thank you for
Speaker 1: joining us so explaining to people what the King's Run is.
Speaker 1: The Kings Run is a community organization. In the overall initiative,
Speaker 1: it's a change the narrative and imagery of how black
Speaker 1: men and brown men in this country are being portrayed
Speaker 1: overalls to fight systemic racism, systemic injustice against us be
Speaker 1: a continuum of a call of action. We went from
Speaker 1: anywhere from peaceful protests to being constantly involved in the
Speaker 1: social narrative of political discourse. We've had four initiatives so far.
Speaker 1: First initiative with the initiatively the King's Running. It was
Speaker 1: an immediate response to a moder our brief case in
Speaker 1: situation where we did a simple two point three miles
Speaker 1: the point of reference that in two days turned around
Speaker 1: one hundred runners. In that moment, those one hundred runners
Speaker 1: did a video monologue about how racism impacts them, and
Speaker 1: that's just a brief topic there. They may moved into
Speaker 1: our Legacy project, which is a deer and heartfelt project
Speaker 1: to me because if a father two amazing daughters, and
Speaker 1: it's basically about you helping children voice their opinions about
Speaker 1: fighting against racism. And we had like five phrases that
Speaker 1: were pretty poignant, punchy that made sure we got the
Speaker 1: attention of the entire world. We went from anywhere from
Speaker 1: twenty four thousand to upwards of like twenty seven thousand
Speaker 1: impressions in twenty four hours. We've had reached anywhere from
Speaker 1: United States all the way to India that includes Russia, Ireland.
Speaker 1: We've had people submitting posts. If you check out the
Speaker 1: Legacy Practical Legacy project hashtag, it is sitting right there
Speaker 1: and you can see all of the imprints of the
Speaker 1: people involved. We are being active in the Pride initiative.
Speaker 1: You know, the gay and trance community definitely face the
Speaker 1: same issues that black and brown community face, so we
Speaker 1: actually want to be a voice to share and help
Speaker 1: them push forward through this initiative. But the project is
Speaker 1: most pointed right now is how we use our allies
Speaker 1: and their privilege to help us change the narrative. Here
Speaker 1: we completely wear no matter how vocal we are, no
Speaker 1: matter how violent or aggressive or assertive, if our allies
Speaker 1: are not at the conversation or our allies are not
Speaker 1: participating in the narrative, we can have no change. So
Speaker 1: the next campaign will be how do you use your privilege?
Speaker 1: And that's probably our most point of campaign that we're
Speaker 1: gonna land with I'm gonna let my co founder lead
Speaker 1: into some of the more detailed matrix. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously I represent allies, right, and so in thinking about
Speaker 1: how one brings in these other communities, you know, be
Speaker 1: as a woman, shared experiences obviously as black men in
Speaker 1: some similar ways. They even talked about them at our
Speaker 1: very you know, the idea of running and how women
Speaker 1: feel predatory behavior against them as running, drawing these through
Speaker 1: lines making it really important to get that out there
Speaker 1: as well. And so really it's just enfranchising other communities
Speaker 1: similar to my own to get involved because without it,
Speaker 1: I think we're not going to make change. Without sort
Speaker 1: of repeated efforts over a long period of time, it's
Speaker 1: not going to happen. Well, Sean, the Kings run. The
Speaker 1: motto is that y'all are committed to changing the false
Speaker 1: narrative around black men in America. Why do you think
Speaker 1: there's a false narrative to begin with? Oh, I mean
Speaker 1: it's the easy we can use media And I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to loop you guys into that, and it's just
Speaker 1: but I mean it's easier. It's so easier that media
Speaker 1: uses the false hators. Right, there's always a highlight of
Speaker 1: a young man with his pants down behind his book. Right,
Speaker 1: that's the easiest social stigma they used. But they never
Speaker 1: show the gentleman who have their pants up, and never
Speaker 1: show us with suits on. They never show us actually
Speaker 1: having a conversation as a pure higher elevation. Every single
Speaker 1: sound bite they receive is always a gentleman or a
Speaker 1: woman who doesn't have the highest degree of education. So
Speaker 1: they're able to spin it in a way that makes
Speaker 1: us proceed as we lack the education in the bandwidth
Speaker 1: to actually have these conversations, so challenging. That so always
Speaker 1: imagery that we're using. Imagery is super important now that
Speaker 1: we can't go out because of COVID, the constant imagery. Right,
Speaker 1: it's a social protests providing images that people have never
Speaker 1: seen on the internet, super important images of positive black men,
Speaker 1: images of positive fatherhood, images of positive leadership roles versus
Speaker 1: the easy play of going to negative because you know,
Speaker 1: negative seals, negative seal sound bites, negative seals impressions. Negative
Speaker 1: is easy to sell. Positivity doesn't sell. You know, you've
Speaker 1: describing the organization, y'all made it clear that you aren't different.
Speaker 1: Why is it important to highlight that you aren't different
Speaker 1: because we just use who we are. Like so many
Speaker 1: people are armchair quarterbacks, armchairs, socialists or social activists, right,
Speaker 1: they quick to be reactive and saying you should have
Speaker 1: done this, you should have done that. But we actually
Speaker 1: just use our voice. We stood up, We use our community,
Speaker 1: we use our social networks, and we said, hey, I
Speaker 1: want to be active in this conversation. I need to
Speaker 1: be active in this conversation. You me, the woman down
Speaker 1: the block, they can do exactly what we're doing. We're
Speaker 1: not politicians, we're not stars, we're not sports celebrities. We're
Speaker 1: just a normal the citizens in the United States who
Speaker 1: are concerned and we want to use our posts on
Speaker 1: that platform. So we don't consider ourselves any different. On
Speaker 1: my day to day, I don't consider myself different. I
Speaker 1: just happen to have the bravery to push forward the
Speaker 1: previous to jump off the bridge. How can people who
Speaker 1: want to donate and support, how can they support you guys? Guy? Yeah, So,
Speaker 1: I mean obviously find us out there on the internet
Speaker 1: and social media, King hyphen run dot com all the
Speaker 1: information that is there. We're linking right now for donations
Speaker 1: to color Change for the moment, the time being we
Speaker 1: will start doing things for the organization itself, and then
Speaker 1: at the King's Run on Instagram obviously you can see
Speaker 1: all of our movement there as well. I would start
Speaker 1: there at contact us, skip us your email, and we're
Speaker 1: rolling from there. It's been a really an amazing tool
Speaker 1: for us and developing this community. Sharon. I knew he
Speaker 1: was going to answer the money question. Yeah, when they
Speaker 1: have two founders, right, Absolutely, you guys for joining us
Speaker 1: many morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the Gay,
Speaker 1: we all the breakfast club. Now we got to shout
Speaker 1: out to Jalen and Jacobe for joining us this morning
Speaker 1: of course from ESPN. Yeah, Man, appreciate those brothers because
Speaker 1: they give you a sense of normalstly every day, like
Speaker 1: during this whole quarantine, turning on ESPN, even if they
Speaker 1: ain't talking about nothing to find in a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of different ways to talk about about stuff we don't
Speaker 1: care about. I still appreciate them just being on TV
