Hey, Kim, get it off your chest, kills, what's happening? Kim? Hey? Hey, dj M B Hey, charlotmin

Hey angelay m okay. So I just want to take it off my chest that Yesterday I had a situation with my baby dad and he and I have been working on our relationship to get stronger, and there was a situation where his friend was like involved because she was in the car in the vehicle with us, and she just made a comment to me where he kind of compared us or said out live like y'all are common similar and her joking way, she was like, well, there there's no comparison, so don't compare me to her,

and kind of got real rude in her situation and you just made me feel uncomfortable, which I know I should have spoke up for myself, but he did correct the situation once I got the car, but she has nothing to do with what he and I have going on and us taking here about order, and I just feel like she's real rude and just respect. Yeah, you know, never let other people's energy affect what you have going on.

And that's not his fault that she said that, And you can't let her affect you that way because that was her intention, and you ain't gonna swing on him. A lot of times people intentionally try to say and do nasty things and you have to let it slide because you know that's what they want. And the best thing you can do is not react unless you feel like, unless you feel like swinging on him. All right, But why didn't I catch it in that moment? Like, Yo,

she's being rude to me. Let me really think about and speak up for myself. So kind of mad at myself, like I should have spoke up, but no, you to something. Yeah, when you got when you got a lot of things going on and you know you're blessed and you know you're not stressing about nothing. Sometimes you miss stuff like that. You'd be like, was he trying to play me? Or was she trying to play me? Did you catch your later, But who cares let them die in their own misery?

Well that's true, Thank you. We'll have a good one, all righty mama, Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club.

We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello. Who's this? Hey man?

I did two years for ah v AC and electricity, and I can work anywhere in the United I'm twenty three years old, and nobody's doing trade no more. Everybody's trying to be doctors and lawyers. So right now in trade school is the best thing you can do. I agree.

After I graduated, my teacher came to me and said I should go for another four years and I'd be guaranteed to make six figures, and I can go anywhere in the United States. So trade school is popua right now, because ain't nobody really doing it and everybody needs help with HVAC and kenders. Yeah, man, I met this guy the other day, I think when I was in DC. Man.

He ran upon me and he was like, man, thank you for always talking about trade school because I went to trade school and I've been gamefully employed for forty plus year. I forgot what he said. He did. Hello, who's this Hey? This is Larry Carter from South Carolina. Man, what's happening Larry Man? Easy? Hey, man, my mother in law just lost. My mother lost Saturday, man, due to this coronavirus. My sister in law is also in the mu SE fight for her life. My wife, who's a

And like I said, my wife went down there to help them, and you know, because she'll twin and she

And unfortunately, you know, you know, we lost my mother in law Saturday, man, and I just wanted to give it, you know, to let the people know that this thing is really for real, especially the people of color, because they're not taking it as serious they should. Man. And I need to get that off my chest this morning, man, because I'm just feeling a certain kind of way. Brother. I understand how old your mother in law. My mother in law is like seventy four, man,

The first time that she went and got you know, and got diagnosic. In the second time, she started having a little scrap thought. She went back to the hospital. My wife took her. She walked in the hospital. Man, and like when she got on this VENI latter, stuff just stuff just went down. I don't know if a body could take it or not. Man,

But damn, and I'm deaf. I'm so worried about my wife because she had to come home at the hospital to try to get everything in order because her twin, her twin is down there on the venna later and you know, you don't really don't know what's going on, man, And yo, I just need for the world to pray for us.

Man, don't say stupid stuff that don't make sense, because we are the one the white people is catching the flue and we're catching the corona. It just ain't

adding up. Yeah, it's very hard. It's very hard for when somebody says to you, black people can't get corona, it's very hard not to tell them.

We'll definitely throw some prayers up for you. Man, get it off your chest. Eight undred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent hit us

up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's topic times, the phone call eight hundred and five, eight five, one oh five. Want to join it to the discussion with the breakfast Club, talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now if he just joined us, we're talking about a statement that did he made? And can we play a statement? Black vote is not gonna be for free? You know what are

we getting in return for our vote? Nothing has changed for Black America. And in order for us to vote for Biden, we can't be taken for granted like we always are because we're it's supposed to be Democrats, or because people are afraid of Trump. It's whoever's gonna take care of our community, whoever wants to make a deal. It's business at this point. You know, we can't trust politicians. Body needs to make it clear that he's going to change the lives and quality of life of black and

brown people. I will hold the vote hostage if I have to. First of all, I want to say, what did he said in that video? Is what I've been on for the past year. That's why every presidential candidate that came to the breakfast club, I asked him, do they have a specific Black agenda? Because I made up my mind a long time ago that I was going to vote my interests, and my interests are black people. You know what I'm saying. I'm not voting for individuals.

And to me, the concept is simple. It's when you do business. When you do deals, you go in to negotiate the terms of what you want. That's how we need to start treating democrats. If not, black people will be voting out of fear for the rest of their lines. And if you're being honest with yourself, conditions of black people have been the same in America for decades, regardless of who the president is, and we will not make any real systemic change in our communities until we change

our approach to politics. I don't think it's too much to ask of a candidate like Joe Biden who owes his political life to black people, then meet some demands for black people. Number One, you want to know what those demands are. And this is what did he messed up because he didn't say what he wanted number one. I think a black woman running mate is a must that should be non negotiable period. Joe Biden already said he would put a black woman on the Supreme Court.

He committed to that. Great, we need that. And most importantly, Biden needs to adopt one of these a black agendas and make it his own. I've been talking to y'all about Black Futures, lab Black agenda, which urges elected officials in government to make Black people powerful through policy in the economy and our democracy, our families, our society, our communities, and the legal system. Joe Biden can take things from that.

He can take things from Bloomberg's economic Black agenda, like wanting to invest seventy billion dollars in low income neighborhoods throughout the country, increase the number of black homeowners, and doubling the number of African American small businesses. If he's elected president, he can adopt all of those things to him, and he should. It's quite simple, and I don't think

it's anything wrong with making those demands. But there is a lot of people out there that says, hey, I'm gonna vote for anybody that's against Trump and the reason this conversation came up is because Kenny Burns, who's somebody that used to work with Diddy and k Rockefeller. He's in the industry, he says puff this statement is very irresponsible. At this point, the only option is to get Trump out of office, Come on, Champ. Encouraging people a standby

is not an option. Hashtag vote a die and needing his comments. He didn't. He didn't say standby? Did he said, I'm gonna hold my vote hostage? What happens when you hold something hostage? You hold it hostage and tell your demand a met What is wrong? What's wrong with ask? I know, but there's nothing irresponsible about demanding something for your vote. The only thing did he did remotely wrong in that if he didn't say what he wanted He said black agenda, but I guess he was too vague

on that. Now, what do you think? Yes, I was actually looking at Joe Biden's website to see what he has, because they have this whole page highlights him Joe Biden's agenda for the black community and what he's planning to do so it says he's investing over seventy billion dollars in HBCUs and he's also doing loan forgiveness that works for public servants and double funding for the State Small Business Credited initiative to three billion dollars to assist small businesses,

especially those owned by people of color. He's talking about investing in the communities through housing, and then I know we also discussed this task force that he is planning to do, and then I know he has Bernie Sarenders on board with him as well now, and Kamala Harris and a lot of people endorsing him. But what I really pay attention to is who are you putting in office around you? I think that's what I find to be extremely important. And so I'm paying attention to who

is endorsing and supporting Joe Biden. Who is he listening to right now, because I look at somebody like Donald Trump, who is very dangerous as we can see in particular during this pandemic, and I'm looking at who he has around him advising him, because I don't think Donald Trump comes up with everything that he wants to do on his own. It's not a dictatorship. So what's most important to me right now is who are you putting into position around you. I would never say I'm holding my vote, Hostess.

What I would say is that these are the demands that I met, These are the people I want to see in position, and I would want to make sure that those things get done. I don't want to say we've been raised, but I feel like we've been conditioned that if the Democrat we automatically just vote, really instead of really asking for something, and which Joe, like I said, I don't necessarily think that he cares about our people. I honestly don't think that he hasn't stood up and

said what he does. Now, it's all cooler to accept these things because he knows he has to. But does he really care when he gets in the office, is he really going to implement these plans? I don't know. I don't know. A lot of people feel like they have to do whatever it takes to get Trump out. But but but it's a campaign, right, So during the campaign, make you make a lot of promises. Make us some promises.

Mother effort simple as that Black people give Democrats almost ninety percent of their votes in all elections, and we don't we don't ever ask anything in return. But don't drink five eight five, one oh five one. Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. I know, call me at your opinions to the Breakfast Club top. Come on eight hundred five five, one oh five one, voting. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne

the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just joined us, we're talking about didd He He was on Instagram and this is what he said. Voting is not gonna be for free. You know what are we getting in return five vote? Nothing has changed for Black America. And in order for us to vote for Biden, we can't be taken for granted like we always are because we're supposed to be Democrats, or because people are afraid of Trump. It's whoever's gonna take care of our community,

whoever wants to make a deal. It's business at this point. You know, we can't trust politicians. Biden needs to make it clear that he's going to change the lives and quality of life of black and brown people. I will hold the vote hostage if I have to. I love the energy now. Nothing responsible about demanding something for your vote. Now. Kenny Burns is a young man that worked with Diddy. He also worked with Rockefeller before. He has his own

liquor podcast and all that. He replied puff this statement is very irresponsible. At this point, the only option is to get Trump out of office. Come on a champ. Encouraging people to stand by is not an option. Then they said puff erasedist comment and block them. I will keep saying over and over there's nothing irresponsible about demanding something for your vote. I think the only thing that Diddy did wrong, and that's that in that video is he didn't, you know, say what he wanted. I've been

clear about what I want for the past year. What I want it's a black woman running mate. That's a must, that should be a non negotiable. Joe Biden already said he would put a black woman on the Supreme Court. That is great, and most importantly, we need Biden to adopt one of these black agendas that's out here. I don't It can be Black Futures lab black agenda, it could be pieces of Mayor Bloomberg's economic agenda, it could be pieces of U Mayor Peach um Uh Douglas plan.

Whatever it is, adopt one of these black agendas, make it your own. Okay, Like, Yo, you can't even lie to us, bro, it's a it's a freaking presidential campaign. You can't even tell us what you're gonna do, even if you don't do it. But a lot of people feel believe in what Kenny Burns has said. One person said, if we don't vote Trump, if we don't vote Trump wins again. We saw this last term. Somebody said, oh, man, he just randomly said this on a Tuesday. The check

must have clared. Some people said, no, we have to get Trump out of office. Some people says, no, we have to work. Beating Trump doesn't doesn't necessarily mean better for us. So people, that's all I'm saying. So let's go to Okay, Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up? It's que from the brom What are your thoughts? I'm really disappointed in you, man, I'm really disappointed in you. Why are you disappointing? Has done nothing to earn the black vote.

He was one of the main creators of the nineteen ninety four crime bill that put behind bars so many black men. So I actually like City, but I agree with him what Kenny Burns said. I said a lot of people feel that way. That is not what envy feels I'm saying, But a lot of people do feel like the only goal is they have to get Trump out of office. I feel like any candidate has to

have something for me in my community. And Joe Biden has been dodging the breakfast club to even come up here and talk, and I want us to use us. That's why I use us because they automatically think black people are Democrats, and that's not the case. I agree with you. It could be a Republican, it could be an Independent, it could be a it could be Donald Trump.

I'm absolutely I'm really serious. If Donald Trump came with a plan to show, you know what, black people have been abused for this amount of time, this is what we're gonna give them. We're gonna reform this. We're gonna influx with these stimulus packages into our inner city communities. I'm voting with Donald Trump. You're voting your interests. Ever is going to actually have a plan. And it's really

crazy because look at this. The Holocaust never happened in this country, Yet Jewish people received reparations, Bravery built this country, and black people have not received anything. So Joe Biden to me right now, he's an OP. He has done. He called him an OP as the truth though behind bars, and he got to earn it. You're right, my brother, I'm on God on God. I would vote for Donald Trump if he came out. I don't know about all that.

I don't know about all that. We can't people hearing sound bites, so you can't say things I would like. I would just vote for Donald Trump. He said he would vote for Donald Trump if Donald Trump actually put something on the table tangible for black people. I want Joe Biden to have these three things on his table in order for me to feel comfortable voting for him. Number one is a black agenda. Number two is a black women are running mate. Number three he already said

he put a black woman on the Supreme Court. I want him to commit to those things for me to feel really, really comfortable going out to vote for him in November. Now, I just feel like he does a lot of comfortable interviews where I don't think they'll necessarily ask him the questions that need to be asked. I think that he avoids our community a lot. I don't think he has anything on the table for our community, and I think he's done a lot to hurt our community.

It hasn't even said, you know, because I did was I made a mistake, and I'm sorry. I apologize. I made a bad decision. I made a wrong decision in life. We all make wrong decisions. But it's it's what you do after that wrong decision to fix it. Yes, say you have to atone. He has to atone for the ninety four crime bill through policy. It's really not that hard. Like, I really don't understand why people are so confused about what did? He said? There is nothing irresponsible about demanding

something for your vote. Simple A hundred five eight five one oh five. One is the breakfast club? Come on and call this suffice to taking your calls. It's topic times the phone called eight hundred and five eight five one oh five. Want to join it to the discussion with the breakfast club, talk about it voting? Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast club. If he just joined us with talking about something that did he said, can we play it right? Fast?

Vote is not gonna be for free? You know what are we getting in return? Five vote? Nothing has changed for Black America, and in order for us to vote for Biden, we can't be taken for granted like we always are because we're supposed to be Democrats, or because people are afraid of Trump. It's whoever's going to take care of our community, whoever wants to make a deal. It's business. At this point, you know, we can't trust politicians.

Biden needs to make it clad that he's going to change the lives and quality of life of black and brown people. I will hold a vote hostage and five to or a lot of people feel like it's irresponsible and he should just be saying just vote against Trump. Now, what do you think? I think right now? This is exactly what Trump supporters want to be happening, all of this going back and forth within the Democrats, and I'm not voting, I'm not doing this. I'm holding my vote

hostage and all of that. I have been saying, I pay attention to who people put an office around them, and I think that has been very important for me as far as deciding who I like and who I want to support, and what policies they are going to be presenting for us and what positive chances are gonna be making. I've been looking at Joe Biden's website just to see what his proposals are and what his plans are.

I wouldn't say that he's not doing he doesn't have any plans at all, because I don't think that's true. But you know, for the black community, so I don't. I wouldn't say nothing, because that's simply not true. Just based off of what I see he planned to do for HBCUs and the money that he wants to put into that, and into education and into housing and development, and the task force that he's now saying that he's going to do. I think you just have to keep

on demanding those things. But I just hate to see how united the Republicans always are and how divided the Democrats always. Well, you know why, because Republicans fall in line, Democrats fall in love. You know what I'm saying. We have to love the individual Republicans, love their interests, and that's all we need to start doing. You know what I mean. You talk about the task for us, Okay,

the same task for us that he wouldn't. He doesn't even want a truth to truth to power speaker, like need a turner on You know what I'm saying, Yes, I would love the investment in HBCUs, but there's other things that we need. You know, we need housing, we need I like the fact that Bloomberg wanted to invest seventy billion in low income neighborhoods throughout the country. You know what I'm saying, I want to help number were

on them. And he talks about expanding on our band here on his website, and he does talk about housing also on his website for and so that is on there. But but we want to see all of that really come to fruition, and we also want to continue to keep building. I don't think anybody's plan has everything in it that we want and everything's perfect, but we do have to keep on saying, Okay, good, we got this. Now we want this, we want this, and we want

these things. By the way, that's all did He's saying once again, I'm going to hold my vote hostage until my demands are met. There is nothing wrong with that. Everything that we're saying is absolutely correct. When you want something from one of these candidates, unders saying that your vote is transactional, I give you something, you give me something. You know you give me something. Trump another four years is very scary to me, and I will say that. Well,

let's go to the phone lines. Hello, Who's this is blue? Hey, guys. I wanted to say thank you for taking my phone call, but I wanted to say I understand where did he is saying as forts what he wanted a black agenda? But this is not the time for that. Trump. Oh my god, hold on, hold on, let me talk to Charlotte Magne. He's spend rolling back human right as far as he want to nominate another Supreme Court justice that's gonna take away women's rights. He rolling back hoods or programs.

He's trying to take away people's voting right. Like I definitely want a black agenda. But man, we gotta get out there and vote and get this guy outside of here or we're gonna lose more than what we even had before he came me. Thank you for I feel I feel you. But man, it feels like every single election black people are void, are forced to vote out of fear. Every single election, black people are choosing between the lesser of two evils. When are we gonna get

to choose between our interests? And I ain't gonna front man, you know, reading his stuff on his site about highlights from Joe Button's agenda for the Black community running for president, maybe Joe Biden, it seems so vague through his policies education, Joe will ensure that black families can build and sustain wealth for themselves in their communities because homeownership is the key to building. And this is vague. Man, this is really vague. It's not that's not a necessarily a plan.

But I said, you have to build on that you have. We talk about these are the things that I want met. I see you have this written, So how is that actually going to work? What's how is this being implemented. What's the money that's being injected for this? Those are all things that you have to make sure that you bring to the table, like end violence against women, Joe will build on the landmark violence against Like this is

so vague. It's not even saying what he's doing. He's just saying, I'm gonna build on the things that's there. It's not that's like saying I'm gonna sell a car and I'm like, yeah, this car is really fast and you're safe if you wear your seatbelt, Like a building on anything that's there anymore. That's all I know is the conditions of black people have been the same in America for decades, regardless of who the president is, and we would not make any real systemic change in our

communities until we change our approach to politics. And I don't think it's too much to ask of a candidate like Joe Biden, who owes his political life to black people, to meet some demands for black people. And by the way, he's right, you need both. You need an inside outside game. You need somebody rattling the cage saying look, we're gonna

hold these volte hostage. And you need somebody else talking to him and another man, and you can do both, because guess what, you know what people in Biden's camp need to be doing for him today, whether it's Simone Sanders, et Centric or anybody, they need to be going to Joe Biden and saying, bro, we're gonna have a problem on our hands in November. If you don't get this black agenda going, We're gonna have a problem on our hands if you don't pick a black woman running me.

Simple as that. I just feel like Diddy's a powerful person, and he has access that he could get a sit down with Joe Biden, he could present these plans and could have people and could support. You know, I don't know personally, you know he could. Yeah, we don't know where he tried. Maybe he tried to get a conversation, and maybe he did. He's like, nah, after denying my conversation. This is how I feeling. Sometimes you got to vote

out there, so people are understanding. Put the pressure on people. We've seen it over and over and over again. Position to represent for us and to really present some things that he feels like would be great for our community, and also do that in conjunction with maybe you're Bernie Sanders, or in conjunction with Elizabeth anybody. But I feel like he does have a lot of access. We're the average person.

All right, We got more coming up next. We're a breakfast club, The Breakfast Club, DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We have a special guest on the phone lines this morning. We have Barbara Cochrane. Welcome, welcome to you to have me, Thank you for having me now. One of my favorite sharks. Barbara and Damon John are my two favorites. Well, you've got good taste because sir Damon's my favorite as well. So how are you quarantine? And how is everything where

you held up back? What are you doing? I'm held up that New York City and right over for Parks. I have a beautiful view and I've watched those medical tents go up and go down, which is a note of gave me a positive feeling. But I'm trying to keep my marriage together. It's going on thirty seven years. I know everything wrong with my husband. There's nothing wrong with me. Wow, that's what my wife said. Everything you know everything right about them too? Then, yeah, I do.

I'm sitting with it. I'm afraid at this point. Yeah. Now with the real estate industry right now, you know you made a fortune off real estate, and I'm sure you continue to do so, you know, what do you advise people to do? Is this a good time for people to get in the real estate. I know a lot of people are scared with the market dropping. I'm looking at real estate. I see the house market is going down a little bit. What would you advise for people to do right now outside of this pandemic? If

they have a little money saved. As far as real estate is concerned, well, today is a day where you could really make a killing, but a lot of people don't have the guts to do it. You know, I think every single property I ever bought that became my best investments over time, homes, investment properties, because that's what I do for a living. I got them all in on certain times and everybody was saying, which one we're going to go? What's going on? And right now the

real estate market is choppy. You've got some areas we have overbidding, like Seattle, Washington, portions of even San Francisco still urban markets, and then you've got markets that are dumping like crazy, like New York City, for example. People genuinely renew the eleases. Last month that we're up for renewal, only forty percent of everybody renew the eleases. People are vacating cities for the time being. But amidst all that change, what you've got is you've got a desperate seller somewhere

in that pile as a desperate seller. And so if you could stay in the market, you're looking in whatever your home ballpark is, because that's where you want to stay stuff. You know, if you could pounce on something, you can get yourself a great deal. But again I say, you got to have a set of you know what to get in there and do that kind of you could say, well you learned to say that. I thought

even that was illegal. Now you could say I wasn't a sick By the way, I was recently reading about a lot of people are going to Connecticut now from New York and they said the prices of real estate of Connecticut are going up, and I'm seeing a lot

of people. I don't know if this is a trend, but a lot of people who had like small apartments in the city are wanting to have more space now and after this pandemic, they're thinking, Okay, let me get rid of this small, expensive apartment and actually move somewhere. And moved to Brooklyn, moved to Queens, moved to Connecticut where I can yeah Jersey, where I can have more space. So what kind of trends are out there that we should be paying attention to. Will you actually name the

main trend? And that is true of New Jersey, Westchester County, Connecticut. If you're away from the Prey, that's the new commodity out there. Everybody wants to be away. The idea of luxury, forget about it. Nobody's talking those words. Even people families who are shopping for homes right now aren't even talking about how good is the school district. You know why, because they're thinking they're going to home school their kids anywhere. You know, the home today has to be the office,

it has to be the schoolhouse. It has to be a place where you could actually love your family twenty four seven and have the freedom to get away from everybody else that's asking a lot. So what that's translating to right now is a huge demand for housing in those areas. Even though they can't fairly show those houses. People are riding up, parking in the driveway, or brokers are opening door. Tell them to put a mask on, help yourself. Nobody's home. It's very difficult to do business.

But despite all that, these properties are going up and value because of fear. You know, it's funny that you said that I'm actually selling my house and that was the time I'm gonna put it on the market because I live in New Jersey and everybody has been reaching out saying, hey, we want to get out of the city. It's too close. I need something, and you know what's selling right now? People want a pool. Its summertime. They're like, if your house has a pool, it will sell. So

I've had agents called and I'm glad. I was going to sell it last year. But now it seems like the market the prices went up even more. So I'm like, I'm glad I waited. And not only that, but interest rates came down. But now I have a question, where are you gonna move? I would give that a little bit of flow up before you have that family move into your house. Oh, I found a home run similar

to what you said. I found a home run this was it was up there in price, and I was able to get it for a great, great, great deal. So even if I, you know, not take as much in Dirty Dog, shame on you. I'm following your footsteps. I'm following your footsteps. I don't want the competition cut it out. I want to be the big shot in town. Now.

I love your whole story too, how you started everything with a thousand dollars And I read an article where you were talking about how you feel like the people that you would invest in and who you feel could be most successful are people who come from poverty and difficult circumstances. So do you find that still holds true, especially right now. Yeah, identify with people like that, and I can give you a whole list of reasons why it makes good financial sense as well. My background is

one of ten kids in a two bedroom flat. Let me tell you we've worked since the time we were twelve. We may not have been like I was terrible at school, but I was a great hard worker. And so people who struggle, and in fact, people who have a real deficit in their childhood I find make phenomenal entrepreneurs. They create a world like kind of how they envision it versus fitting in with somebody else's world. And so when I'm on that Shark Time show, every time I'm sitting

in that seat, I'm looking for a loser. It sounds weird, but I'm looking for the guy who was raised by a single mom. I'm looking for the gal whose mother said should never amount to anything. I'm looking for somebody who's motivated by insult, somebody who's got something to prove, somebody who knows what it's like to take a hit, be smashed around a bit, because you know what they

learned in that journey, they learn to get back up. Instead, you give me a privilege, kitter, and now I've got privileged kids, so I'm not not going to really, so give me a privileged kid. And they lack the experience of struggle. You know, they've been on the fancy vacations. Everything's kind of come easy. It's not their fault, it's just their environment how they've grown up. And you can't learn the toughness in the skin and the streets marks that you learn when you come from the ghetto or

the family that needs this and needs that. You how to help out so many different values. So that's what I do. I buy the entrepreneurs what I do when I'm buying those businesses, and the poorer they are, the better they do for me every time. It's a different work ethic. When a person knows if they fail, they can just call their parents or get more investors to invest in them. When people know that if they do fail, this is it, you know. So I think it is

a different mentality of I can't fail. Absolutely. I'm going to add something to that that you might not think of because I've seen both sides, the privilege side and the poor side. I've lived both lives. The one advantage huge advantage and Gaymon John talks about it the power broke to steal his idea. But I learned it for myself. Is when you are poorer, you have an advantage of you have nowhere to go but up. You don't have pushing parents have been really successful, like monkeys on your back,

expecting to be a big deal. When you grow up, you are free to boot being exactly who you are. And privileged kids don't walk into the work world with that. They've got the attorney dad, the high finance mom, push him, push him, pushing from behind, and you know what it does. It winds up becoming somebody to make happy versus making yourself happy. It's you have a huge advantage when you don't come with all that monkey business on your back. All right, we have more with Barbara Cochrane. When we

come back, don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee Shlomne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Barbara Cochrane. I wanted to ask you know, we've seen a story a couple of months ago about somebody trying to scam you out of four hundred thousand dollars. Yes, halfway to this. Yeah, what happened in that case, Well, we got an email. My bookkeeper gets an email from a company saying I'm

buying four or six investment properties in Berlin, Germany. Now I buy investment properties, but not in Berlin. Okay, I don't know Berlin, but it wasn't out of the norm. And they wrote in the name of one of my colleagues at my office who usually authorized our billing. So it was authorized by a fake name which looked real, and out went the money. It was wired out. Okay, I had a heart attack, but fortunately they wired it to a German bank on its way to China and

we stopped it in Germany. I got the money back. I was threating that one all night. Yeah, because I emailed you too. I emailed you too. I said that I was your adopted son that you never paid child support for, and I asked for only one hundred thousand, but I never got that wire. I'm not paying your nickel. I can tell your scamming right here on You I don't know. Wow, no, no, no, it does fear and

stuff going on, forget it. Not not at all. Well what happens now with protocol in the office because we had we actually debated this at work because I was like, well, it feels like, you know, for Barbara Corkman, four hundred thousand dollars might be a typical Okay, I let my office handle it. But I remember you guys were like, no, there's no way that is too high of an amount of money that it doesn't go through certain approve of

path protocols, certain protocols. Yeah, it's just well, today we have all the protocol and you know what's the most safe one is of all outside the internet before any money is wired over a very small amount that people have to kick up the phone and say did you send this wire? That's all it is. It's just a phone call, is a stop check. And that's what we've

initiated at the office. Now, what markets do you think is a good market for somebody that's trying to get in the real estate game, and say what markets should they be looking at? You know, Angeli and I invested in Detroit and did very well. What markets would you say, well, kind of like the old days when people used to make a lot of money real estate when they followed the train lines. You know, you follow those train lines. Just do all those new places in California opening up.

Today's version of that is followed the job market. If a large company is opening up in an area and they're employing a lot of well educated people, you know, prices are going to go through the roof. So for example up A great example is very close to my home here where I'm investing in heavily, which is Pittsburgh. I almost said Philadelphia. Kody say Pittsburgh. Yeah, everybody's saying Pittsburgh, and they're a little late. I mean, I've been investing

there for almost three years. Not to show off about it, but I've watched bad my prices go up. In your memory as you deficit, it makes you hesitate, like, wait, I could have gotten a cheap or two years ago. But it's got so much room for going up because there's so much industry moving in, there's so much government support. The city is supporting real estate development, and there aren't

as many restrictions, so you can wheel and renovate. You could increase your rent and so it's a very secure investment. Right now. I don't see anything really downside. It's got to be something, but maybe I'm turning an eye to it. Yeah, Now, were you affected bad by you know, the pandemic and people not being able to pay rent and all those things. You know, how are you holding up with that end? You know what happens from there, what happens next outside

of that with those properties that you own. Well, I'm actually a small property owner. I own small buildings, like a twelve units sell. Maybe that sounds big, but in real estate terms of New York City, it's not like a high rise building of something. That's where I'm comfortable. But the moment the eviction proceedings were frozen here in New York, I had roughly twenty percent of my tenants calling saying they didn't want to pay their rent. This

was in April one. And of those twenty percent, ten percent we allowed not to pay our int because you know what the other ten percent we're doing. They all had their jobs, they had fancy jobs, and they're well educated kids, maybe in their thirties, and they were calling and saying, we don't want to pay our rent. And when we asked why it was because we just don't want to pay it. They still had jobs, they still had income, but ten percent of the people were working.

Because we're doing everything we can to help people like that. Now, what's interesting to realize is the landlords position. I can afford to have ten percent, maybe fifteen percent of my tenants not pay their rent. Don't tell them because ten percent is plenty in my books. At say twenty percent, I'm going to problem. I got to pay my real estate taxes and I've got to pay my mortgage, and I'm not going to be able to afford it. So

what happens then buildings go into foreclosure. Rents have to be set, but buildings can't be fixed, roofs can't be without leaks that can't be fixed, radiators going, you can't provide heat, and we've had that. I lived it actually in the early seventies when landlords are walking away bandoning buildings because the rink control. So we kind of have like a short term version of ringk control all over again with all these freezes and don't pay your rent,

you can't foreclose. So I'm all for it to help out people, but I'm worried it might go too far, particularly in New York City, and then we're going to have really big problems with the landlords, which means we have problems with the financiers, the banks who give the mortgages. Who did they care into and the crap just rolls downhill. That's how it rolls. But you know what I had that problem to I had. I had closer to forty percent not pay. But you know what it was for.

It was because the mayor and the governor's most got on air and said, hey, we're gonna make it where you know, if you can't afford to pay rent, you don't have to pay rent. You can't you can't get evicted. So when people hear that, automatically they think, oh, I ain't gotta pay rent, you can't evict me. And I'm like, no,

don't work like that. Power to the people, right, Yeah, you know what, they've just changed all those rules that the only way the attendant campaign ranted, you could prove hardship, show that he's collecting unemployees. You should know that because that makes a big difference. That's the need case, and that's how it should be really, and that's been changed absolutely. Now, Barbara, how are your businesses that you're invested into doing from shark tank in particular, because it is a hard time

for small businesses right now. So I'm sure that's something that you've been paying attention to attention to with the paychech protection program and all of that. Yeah, of course, you know. I've invested about eighty similar businesses to date, and I'm in touch with not everyone, but just about everyone over the many weeks. I'm always staying in touch. What are you doing, what are you thinking about? Where

is your head going, what are the numbers? Not with them towards seeing if we're making money or not, but simply laying myself out there, like I've lived through four bad times and came out alive. So how could I help you? And here's the interesting thing I have found. I have found that probably ten percent of my businesses are actually going to make it through the other side. I wish I could say all of them, but here's what the difference is. A lot of them listen, but

are waiting for the change. If you sit and wait for the change, you're not coming out the other side. I tell them that that they don't know what to do. They're afraid to do whatever. Whatever. They didn't even take advantage of the PPP program, which was open to everybody, but about ten percent of my businesses did a couple of things really smart. They looked at where all their money was coming from. They assumed it wasn't going to keep coming, and they reinvented how they could sell their

product or service. And so those particular businesses are going to come through fine and interesting. Going back to that early conversation we had, they were all streets smart people who have been through hard times. For them, it wasn't a real shocker. All right, we have one with Barbara Cochrane when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, DJ Envy Angela Yee Shlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Were still kicking with Barbara Cochrane.

Now let's talk about Shark Tank. Are you tired of Shark Tank? Are you still enjoy it? You're still enjoying seeing the crazy people and the crazy ideas. I'm tired of Robert Herschevak. Yeah, Tank Tank chatty chatty chatty, Okay, I'm tired of listeners. Calmed down Robert. You know, I'm never tired of Shark Tank. Let me tell you when I got hired for Shark Tank. When I signed that contract, I was the happiest girl in New York City. I bought myself a new set of luggage, new outfits, and

I was going to Hollywood. And I told everybody I knew I'm going to Holly. You know was the sign and everything. And then Shark Tank siglunated Cole and told me I wasn't hired. They replaced with another woman. But I signed the contract. I need. I signed the contract based we didn't sign the contract. Yeah, what a shocker. I didn't want to tell my family and friends I'm not going to Hollywood anymore. And so I sent him an email. I said, Mark Burnette, the top producer who

owned the show them. I didn't though he was a big show. I just knew he was in charge. And I sent him an email and tell him. You know what, all my best winnings came on the heels of failure. When Donald Trump said I'd never see a penny of the three million dollars you old mean, I beat him in federal court. When sister Stella Marie I went on and on and told me I would never learn to read just because I was stupid in school. I know how to read. I just gave it to him. Who him?

And then I ended by saying, I consider your rejection a lucky charm, and I'd like to come out and compete for the seat. And I expect to be on that plane. And what do you think he did? You let me cocaine in that one? That's dope. Who is the other person? I'm not telling you that would have to be I can't tell you. I've been asked at a few times. I will not ever say who the other person? It's not right. How do you think this show has changed from when I first started until now?

Because it feels more like you already have to have shown some real numbers in order for you to even get on Shark Tank, to have had some success already. I feel like earlier you didn't really have to be so polished. Yeah, well, I have to say them my perspective. Those earlier days, I liked them for two reasons. One, people came in and asked for ten thousand, you know, for twenty percent of the reasons. Now people come in and ask for thousand for one percent for five percent.

That is Mark Cuban every time. Of course money, you know. But the difference here today is they do expect sales, but there are oxflections. And the exception that I made just on a women, just on my gut, was buying into the Companies, which is an oversized sweatshirt. The company, the original company, and there were just two guys standing there and two one shot. They had a great shingle, like two guys drunk in a bar, two brothers. And when I said, what are you sales? We don't have

any what a suppose you to make that thing? We don't know who you're gonna sell with you all the wrong answers, especially if you think about a shark tink today. Yes, nobody comes with no answers. And I on the sholf, you know, and I said, what the hell, I'll take thirty percent of new business. But I don't know what I paid the fifty thousand, maybe twenty thousand old. Now they've done eighty six million in sales. Oh my gosh. No,

they're my single most successful investment. And the reason I brought into them was I said, these are great guys I can have a beer with them, and I've found out a bar, not a lot of money. Let me throw it and see what happens. We'll look what happened. And so I think every season for me, it's a new surprise, like who's coming through them? Did today? I feel like you really have to have it together, like

I've always First of all, I just wanted to. I've always went into beyond shark tink and do a pitch because I watched it. But it's also seemed so nerve wracking, and it's not an easy thing to do. And then sometimes you watch it and you're like, oh my god, they are bombing right now, you know, but you can never predict. I think sometimes I think, oh that went terrible, or I think that went great, and it'll be the opposite. Yeah,

you know what happened last year was shocked me. Four guys came out and started to pitch in the middle of the pitch. They were great, Yeah, really a dog and pony show the middle of the pitch. They got so excited. One guy hits support and lace quietly well everything like crazy. That's funny. You know, when he had fainted out of the pressure really revived. But you know what the reality is. No second chances, that's reality to they we never saw them again, a prof we know.

I like Shark Think the most and I love Shark Tink. I love watching that and I love trying to, you know, make a bid myself before you guys make a bid or say how much I would offer a give. But the thing that I like about it the most is my kids watch Shark Tink. My kids are into it. You know, I have an eighteen year old or sixteen year old. They watch it and they are into it. They know the you know what a company is worth, and they're learning this way before I did. Like you know,

I'm from co I didn't know anything about investing. So they're learning that and they're calling me Dad, I think this company is worth this month because of this, that and the other. And I love that. Yeah, of course, because you know what, it's a real life education. It's something that can really use. But do you want me to give you the bedside of that. They're gonna come to you say, hey, Dad, how many you make an

investment in this great idea we have? And my valuation is give me the cash, and you're not gonna like it at all, you know, they already started it. My son already started a business where he sold where he was selling used clothes, which he did well. Then he started another business where he was selling video game coins and needed money to um to promote himself. He already started to see those businesses. I'm helped because it's small money,

you know. I'm just waiting to the day where you know, like Donald Trump's son and be like, hey, dad, can I all Bart have a million dollar loan. I'm not there yet, but the small things I can definitely give him five hundred dollars in one hundred dollars, I can. I can do that much. Huh. They sound like a good dad to me. But thank you so much for being on the Breakfast Club of the first time. We really appreciate that. My pleasure. Really nice hang out with

you guys. You're lovely to speak with. Really all right, well, thank you so much. It's Barbara Coker and it's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning's Donkeys, get you are. I'm gonna fatten all that around your want this man to Doten Blowers. Man, they're waited for Charlomagne the top end blobs. Let's go have to make a judgment who was going to be on the Donkey of the day. They chose you, the breakfast club bitch, Who's donkey of the day to day? Donkey of the day goes to police officers at the

Louisville Metro Police Department in Kentucky. Their names are Jonathan Madden, Lee Brett Hankinson, and Miles cost Grove Okay. According to NBC News, they were identified by the police department as the officers who are currently under investigation for shooting and killing Brianna Taylor Okay because they were looking for us at the wrong home. I repeat, they were looking for a suspect at the wrong home. Another day, another black

life is taken at the hands of the police. Now, if you haven't heard the story, Rihanna Taylor, a twenty seven year old EMT worker and essential worker Okay, died on March thirteenth after police officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department executed a search warrant at the wrong damn house. Let's go to wha s ABC eleven News for the report. Police Taylor's mother says that the twenty six year old

and her boyfriend were never involved in drug activity. She was an EMT preparing to confront the coronavirus, working for both Jewish and Norton hospitals. A necessary search warrant, she did not have to die. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump represented high profile cases like Trayvon Martin and most recently Ahmed Arbory. This was a botched investigation that ended up were for innocent young woman killed. A lawsuit says that the three detectives were searching for JaMarcus Glover, who was

detained that morning. They did not check to see if he was already in custody before they went in here, shooting over twenty two times. After Taylor was killed, LMPD healthy briefing later that day, the detectives are a part of the Criminal Interdiction Division, and we're not wearing body cameras. Officers knocked on the door several times and announced their presence as police who were there with a search warrant. Taylor's attorney disputes that, claiming police never identify to themselves.

The lawsuit says Walker, a registered gun owner, shot Eddie Sargent in self defense. He was arrested and charged with attempted murder of a police officer. All three of the officers were placed on administrative reassignment. Now I was looking at this thing. Man. Rihanna Taylor was an award winning EMT and model citizen. Okay, she loved her family and community. She worked at two hospitals as an essential worker during

the pandemic. I saw that posted on Instagram, and she's dead now because police in Louisville, Kentucky failed to measure it twice in order to cut once. Now, let me tell you something. You know, how we say things like the most valuable thing you can make as a mistake. You can't learn anything from being perfect, or you know, making mistakes is a lot better than not doing anything.

Or mistakes are proof that you're trying. None of those quotes applied to this with all right, not one see the mistake in this situation shows that the offices in Louisville, they weren't even trying at all, not even a little bit. When you are executing a search warrant, you don't have the luxury of learning from your mistakes because you shouldn't

be making an error to begin with. Okay, some people in some professions don't have the privilege of being that irresponsible, because being irresponsible can truly be a matter of life or death. It can be some life altering situations. Okay, and all these officers get is placed on administrative reassignment. Huh.

Speaking of reassignment, do you remember that story that happened back in the day when the sixty seven year old man went into surgery for bladder cancer, but when he woke up, he discovered doctors that amputated his penis, and the doctors never even told him that this was a possibility before the surgery. You know what that's called mile practice? You know a police officers did in Louisville, Kentucky. Male practice. Okay, to add insult to injury, you arrest her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker,

for assault an attempted murder on a police officer. Now, this brother, Kenneth Walker, he had a license to carry and kept firearms in the home for protection, as we all should to a all day. Now officers are saying they knocked on the door and announced themselves, but the lawsuit says they entertailer's home without docking and without announcing themselves as police officers. Yo, I don't know what happened. All I know is Walker did what any person should

do in that situation. You hear somebody breaking into your house, waking up in the middle of the night, and you got your legal firearm, you get the busing. Okay, these officers weren't playing clothes. They pulled up an unmarked carse how is this brother, Kenneth supposed to know what's going on? Kenneth had zero listen to me, zero criminal history for drugs of violence. No drugs were found in the home.

He's not part of that lifestyle. So when he hits somebody breaking in his house, all he's thinking is protect, protect, protect, and I feel him. Okay, Kenneth Walker didn't make a mistake. The police in Louisville, Kentucky did. Okay, you know who should have charges brought against them? The police in Louisville, Kentucky, Like what do we do in America? These officers executed

the search warrant on the wrong house. From that moment on, it's their fault period a woman is that And all they have to offer, literally is a statement saying, due to it on going internal investigation into this situation, we are not able to comment at this time. Damn, I can't even get them my bad condolences to the family. Nothing.

I can even play white Devil's advocate in a situation like this and say, if they didn't if they didn't know they were in the wrong house and you know, gunfire started, I can see why they, you know, reacted the way that they did. But that logic goes out the window simply because they were in the wrong house. This is their fault. Period. Now we have to ask ourselves the question who polices the police, Brianna Taylor, is that Kenneth Walker is facing charges of trying to kill

a cop. Their lives will be changed forever. Meanwhile, these cops, get what, Who's gonna make your justices serve for the regular, everyday people who pay those cops salaries with tax dollars. Louisville Mayor Greg Fisher said in the state Tuesday that he was monitoring the case and talked to the police

department's chief to ensure a thorough investigation. Yeah. Right, the same police department who can't even execute a search warrant properly or going to give a thorough investigation if it was anything thorough about this police department, Brihanna Taylor wouldn't be dead today because you officers would have done your due diligence before you ran up in the wronghouse. Okay,

condolences to the family of Brianna Taylor. Kenneth Walker needs his charges dropped immediately, and Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankinson, and Miles cossbro should be fired and charged with second degree murder period. Nothing else to talk about here, folks. Please let Rimy Mark give those three officers from the Louisville Metro Police Department the biggest he had. He ha, he ha.

He's stupid, mother far are you dumb? Totally again? And whatever happens to those officers is not enough, because Brianna Taylor is dead. This is a This is an essential worker who worked at two different hospitals during the pandemic, saving our lives and you just took hers because you made a goddamn mistakes. Thank you, search one on the wrong house. Come on, man, man, that is so sad.

All right, well that's the fft up bro, All right, Well, thank you for to even have to listen to even talk about to even listen to absolutely well, thank you for that. Donkey. Today it's the breakfast Club, Good Morning, the breakfast Club, the relationship advice, need personal advice, just the real advice, Call up down for ask ye morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomagne, the god we are the breakfast Club. Is time for ask ye and let's go to the line. We got Jamie on the

lone Jamie good Morning's good morning? What's up? Hey? Um Uh, just to say I love this show, guys. I've been listening to you guys for a long long time and you guys are doing good in this situation. Applaud you guys on that. Thank you so much. Thank you. What's

your question for you? Yeah? My question is, um, well, I'm a lot of depth right now and uh over the over the holidays and her anniversary with my wife, I went on and at her pretty expensive gifts, and uh well it's now it's catching up to me um mentally, you know what I mean. I'm not really general when it comes to mental stress, and I just want to come clean to my wife about it. And my wife could she she has a mouth on it like she could get on all me if if I mess up

and she's not well today. You know, I'm the one to blame about it and okay, no, yeah, what's the best idea or advice could go with that? So when you say some credit card debt, like how much, Well, it's a lot. It's probably like eight thousand or something like that. But it's something that I already had. I

just had it more to more to it, you know. Okay, So first of all, the one thing you have to do and I know you said that she has a mouth on her and you know it's going to be an issue, it's going to be some drama is when we make mistakes like this and we know that we have some things that we need to work on, we have to own that, right. So it's important for you to acknowledge the fact that you've gotten yourself into this

situation right now. Do you have a plan of action on what you plan to do to work towards fixing this, because you know, I think it's great when we can communicate when there's issues, but are we also coming up with solutions? Yeah? Well, I was thinking, well, I get paid every week, so in my head I was thinking, yeah, this Friday, I'm just going to come clean to her about what's going on, because I mean, I'm already losing I lost like twenty pounds and I'm doing great with everything.

It's just the mental stresses. I've never been good for time. So yeah, I took me died to be completely healthy, and I was thinking motifight to give her like pretty much my entire paycheck. She manages that, and I just keep myself for a little bit money so I could pay for guys because I be driving for work, you know.

So I don't know if you guys have any other advice. Well, it feels to me like, obviously your wife loves you, right, that's why she's with you, and she's there for better or for worse, and so that's something you've got to keep in mind too. But you're right, this is something that is very stressful for you. So you need to let her know what it is that's going on. You guys need to come up with the solutions and how

you're going to handle this as a couple. And you need to take ownership of the fact that you put yourself in a situation where you gut yourself into this debt. But debt can be manageable, and it's so eight thousand dollars is not something that I feel like you can't handle if you just make a plan, and so I think it's important for you to sit down. I actually do this credit chronicles, and we're actually following a couple right now, and you can look on the Breakfast Club

YouTube page and you can see that there. But we're actually following a couple who have debt, and their debt is way crazier than yours. It's because it's student loans. It's a debt that the man had and when they got married, she had to take his debt also, and she didn't have any debt at all. So this is something that I think you guys have to work together as a couple to get through and figure out how

can we make ourselves stronger after this? And if that means that you have to look at your spending habits, why are you spending this money? Obviously, you know you love your wife. You want us to buy her something nice, but maybe financially you weren't in the position to do that.

And now you're stressed out because the bills are adding up, right, Yeah, And you got to think about what's important to her, and it might be more important to her to not have those stresses because Now this is something that you've lost twenty pounds, it's hard for you to communicate with your wife. So these are things that you guys have to talk about because usually when we spend like that, it comes from another place, you know, your emotional spending

that you're doing. So this is a conversation that yes, you are going to have this with your wife. You're gonna let her know what it is, and you guys are going to solve this issue together and sit down and figure out how to come up with the budget. What is you know? Moving forward? How do you make sure that you don't put yourself in a worse position. But I think that this is something you definitely can manage and definitely come out stronger as a cup well after.

So just focus on that. The positive is that you guys have each other during this time, you're still making money and you have a plan of action. Yeah that sounds good. Thank you guys so much. Find that really helped on. What credit card was it? What credit card company did you use? It was American Eagal I had JAYC, Pennyy, Walmart.

You know all those master cards and stuff, so you know, if you if you call the card companies now they a lot of them are diffirmed payments and allowing you to put things on hold for a little bit, so you can use that to definitely catch up a little bit. But I would definitely call every credit card company and tell them what's going on, especially with the coronavirus thing, and most cards companies are very being very lenient and helping people out. That sounds great, guys, Thank you so much.

Man I got blessed a call them on your family was be safe? All right? Bro? Ask ye eight on drip five eight five one oh five one. If you need relationship advice, call ye now it's the breakfast club. Good morning, Coma, keep for real? What's up for you? Did some real advice with Angela? Ye gets ask ye morning. Everybody is ch envy Angela, yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. It's time for asking yee. We got more on the Mona morning. Oh I'm sorry for

the one second. Hey, Mona, you an work? No, I'm ama way to work? Okay, So before we get out of where do you work? Mona? I work at a doctor's office and there boring Michigan. Okay, okay, all right, so it's going on, I'm gonna ask ye. So basically, I've been working at this job for six years. My third office an m A, and now i'm office manager. I'm the only black person, and I'm also the youngest person, and I deal with racism quite often. Um. I had a co worker who said that she didn't know that

the N word was considered racist. When they buy lunch without asking me what I want, they always buy me fried chickens. I don't even really eat fried chickens. Um, just comments like I know you like rap and I don't even care for rap. Just a lot of things like that, and I'm at a point where I'm really getting tired of it and I don't know how to

handle it. First of all, y'all need some diversity in that office, right, and that is something that they need to take seriously because a lot of places are having to make sure that they even have like people who work as far as helping create diversity and office environments, because as you can see, when you don't have diversity,

people think that black people are monolithic. Yeah. Even I'm the youngest person and also the office manager, So I don't know, Now, how do you respond when these things happen, do you point it out and say, just so you know, just because I'm black doesn't mean I like five chicken, or just because I'm black doesn't mean I listen to rap music all day. Sometimes I'll do, sometimes I don't.

What depends on how anger I am. Like when she made the comment about the INN word that she didn't know what was offensive, I basically d care to herself her that the N word or was created way back in slavery and it was always so identify black people as being like inferior, and that words never have been okay, like common sense. I actually use the word common sense. And was that beneficial when you had that conversation. I'm just curious, not really, you know what, I'm a big

fan at work when things what is that noise? Okay, I'm a big fan when things are going on at work like that to leave a paper trail, And what that means is when these incidents do happen, I would make sure that I document them, as far as sending an email out to whoever the supervisor is or whoever it is that you need to send that email to, so that you have all of that documented, because that way. It makes people think twice about what they're doing, and

it makes people take things seriously. And I would also request that we bring in somebody to do some diversity training and say, look, this is a very environment where I'm the only black person, I'm the youngest person here, and I feel like this is not representative of the people who we serve in the community. And I would

put that in an email as well. But I think it's important for you to document when these things happen and to educate people, which it sucks because I wouldn't want that to have to be my job, but this is also laying down the foundation for your corporation to be even more diverse in the future. And if that means recruiting people other black people to come and other people of color to come and work in that office, then that's what they need to do. They need to

take steps towards doing those things right. I would think so, because I'm personally like I'm at a point where it's starting to turn into anger. At first, it was just like all those just my ignorant coworkers, but now it's starting to like really bother me because some stuff is just common sense. Have you spoken to a supervisor. Well, I'm the manager and it's a private practice, so like I am the supervisor, so it's like it's and then I've talked to my bas like the actual doctor before

and he hasn't really done much about it. I don't. Well, girl, it's time for you to flex your authority as the office manager, and maybe you need to take the initiative to bring in more people, a more diverse staff. But also maybe it's time for you to call a meeting with everybody and be like less, some ground rules down here, and let's go over anything and put all these things on the table and make it mandatory for people to come. I can agree with that. I can do that, all right,

I hear how this turns out. I've been bothered since this whole conversation started. I'm judging you for not liking fried chicken and rap music. Like, what the hell's wrong with you? Don't let what other people like chicken? I like chicken it's not fried, like rap, but also like country, also like R and B, also like rock. I like different things. And the problem isn't that that I like rap music. The problem is you don't know anything about me or my personal life to preconceive that I like

those type of things. You don't want them stereotype of you with what you're saying exactly, don't like basically look at me and say, oh, you're black, this is who you are. No, I'm black and boring. That's not that doesn't signify my personality traits. Okay, all I'm saying, be saying that, don't let don't don't don't miss out on the beauty of Popeyes. Okay, just because you care about what other people think of you. All right, somebody bring you a Popeyes chicken sand which you appreciate it. I

get it. I'm chicken. I'm She's like, I might want to salad. My goodness, I've never ordered chicken. I was working here. Let me ask you a question. I bet you every time you get a salad you put real chicken in it. I do exactly. What's your favorite what's your favorite country song? My favorite country song? I mean, I'm kind of like a fake country yards. I look like a Taylor su I consider her country. Okay, she's

popped now. But Mona, I will say this though, you are the manager, so I think for you, you have the power and the authority. Don't feel like you don't have the power and authority to make sure that you make certain things happen in that office. Okay, thank you, Mama, good luck. I'm on her to flex her authority. Up in there, asking ye eight hundred five eight five one on five one. If you need advice, relationship advice, call ye now. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast

I got a new work girl. If you know, I don't have

to spread my butt cheefs might might haunt you anymore. Well, listen, I feel like you're gonna have to have that conversation just like you had it with us, because one thing you do have to do is be honest, right, And then that person has a right to say, Okay, I'm not sure this is you're the person that I want to be with, or maybe they'll say, you know what, we've all gone through things in our past that we're not proud of, that have brought us to the point

wherehere you are today, and I can accept you for who you are. But I think it is important for you to let her know how long have y'all been together? Yeah? I was thinking, but then what if I lose her? Because then then that that might resort me again. Spread my butt cheezs might haunt you. You know what, though, you could either lose her now or lose her later. Right, We'll probably gonna break up with you because this point, old born if if all you're doing is spreading your

butt cheeks, that's a that's a boring point. Oh bro, that's all you could do? Well? I mean you would want to look him up, buddy, I can email you. No, I'm cool, And Casey falls on some hard times as well. Yeah, that's true, Charlie Man. That could be a good name for a point or two falling on hard times about a man who had to suck to get his way to the top. Aren't your kids around you? Bro? Okay? But yes, definitely please let your girlfriend. I don't know

if you watch Love is Blind. But Carlton, who was sexually fluid, he waited until they were engaged to let his fiance know that he has been with men before, and that is definitely something that you have to be honest about. Was he able to keep his girl? No, it did not work out. Oh, no answer. Ye, I'm gonna keep this to myself. I just at some point, you know, at some point she will find out though. Whatever comes to the thought does come to the last, that's what they say. But on this when I think

I'm going to meet the truth, that's another good point. Yeah, I mean yeah. Because it's a gay porn like you're on like video, people can eventually see you. They will. People around you might hold over your head when they see her and be like, you know, I'm gonna tell her. Have you told her yet? Have you told her yet? That's something that you'll always be thinking about what if she finds out. You know, it's just something that could

be very stressful. I wore a satin mask, but maybe they see my tattoos now and that one thing word but tattoos. How much did you make? Well? No, I'm actually trying. Ain't made by twenty five hundred dollars, buddy and U and I've done five scenes so they're throwing it out there, so okay, okay. Points a week ago, it would be dope to see two men matter, you get two men and you get like a little person and you name the point or two and a half men, that'd be dope, that that would be funny, that I

If anybody's went homeboard now that's too fod Where are we going this morning? All right? See the colone Navarrus got everybody, just bug it, Calm down, you can We can't say these words on air. Guys, I don't know if you know. Okay, I'm not on air. I'm at the house. Oh my goodness, ask ye eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you

need relationship advice, call ye about anything. Yeah, as you see, really anything you need that? All right, we got more coming up next. We're a breakfast club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Good morning. Now, if you just joined us with talking about a statement that did he made yesterday? And can we play a statement? Voting is not gonna be for free? You know what are we getting in return?

Five vote? Nothing has changed for a black America. And in order for us to vote for Biden, we can't be taken for granted like we always are, because we're supposed to be Democrats or because people are afraid of Trump. It's whoever's going to take care of our community, whoever wants to make a deal. It's business. At this point, I will hold the vote hostage if I have to. First of all, I want to say what Diddy said in that video is what I've been on for the

past year. That's why every presidential candidate that came to the breakfast club, I asked them, do they have a specific Black agenda? Because I made up my mind a long time ago that I was going to vote my interests, and my interests are black people. You know what I'm saying. I'm not voting for individuals. And to me, the concept is simple. It's when you do business. When you do deals, you go into negotiate the terms of what you want.

That's how we need to start treating democrats. If not, black people will be voting out of fear for the rest of their lives. And if you're being honest with yourself, conditions of black people have been the same in America for decades, regardless of who the president is, and we will not make any real systemic change in our communities until we change our approach to politics. I don't think it's too much to ask of a candidate like Joe Biden, who owes his political life to black people, to meet

some demands for black people. Now, now, what do you thinking? What I really pay attention to is who are you putting around you and surround who are you putting an office around you? I think that's what I find to be extremely important. I would never say I'm holding my vote hostage. What I would say is that these are the demands that I met, These are the people I want to see in position, and I would want to

make sure that those things get done. Now, I will say this, I mean, for too many years, I think. I don't want to say we've been raised, but I feel like we've been conditioned that if the Democrat, we automatically just vote really instead of really asking for something. And with Joe Biden, like I said, I don't necessarily think that he cares about our people. I honestly don't

think that he hasn't stood up and said what he does. Now, it's all cooler to accept these things because he knows he has to, But does he really care when he gets in the office, is he really going to implement these plans. I don't know. I don't know. A lot of people feel like they have to do whatever it takes to get Trump out. But but but it's a campaign, right, so during the camping you make, you make a lot

of promises. Make us some promises. Mother effort simple as that Black people give Democrats almost ninety percent of their votes in all elections, and we don't we don't ever ask anything in return. Let's go to one line. Hello, who's this Hey, Victor? Victor, how are you doing? Good morning? Hey Victor, good morning. We're talking what it's a statement that did? He said? What are your thoughts? Yeah, you're to be honest, I'm with Charlemagne in the way, you know,

holding back, you know, the vote hotpits. That just mean that they're not voting for him. But what are you gonna do to me? Though? Just because I like the other dude, that doesn't mean that I'm a vote for you automatically. What do you do for me? That's the bottom line, man, simple. Now, let me ask you a question. If he says I'm not gonna give you nothing, now,

what happens in November? Let's just say he does. Okay, then let me ask you something, then why should I give him If he's not giving anything back, We're stuck in the same vote. But if Joe Biden came out and said I'm not giving black people nothing, I'm telling you right now, I'm not voting if you. If you, if he fixing his mouth to say that right now, because I know what, man, thank you? Hello, who's this? He was something envious que from the brom sounds it going,

what are your thoughts? Really, I'm really disappointed in you, man, I'm really disappointed in you. Has done nothing to earn the black vote. He was one of the main creators of the nineteen ninety four crime bill alone that put behind bars so many black men. So I actually like Pitty, but I agree with him right. I feel like any candidate has to have something for me in my community. And Joe Biden has been dodging the breakfast club to even come up here and talk and wanted I want

us to stop use us. If Donald Trump came with a plan to show you know what black people have been abused for this amount of time, this is what we're gonna give them. We're gonna reform this, We're gonna influx with these stimulus packages into our inner city communities. I'm going with Trump if he can. I don't know about all that. I don't know about all that. We can't see people hearing sound bites, so you can't say things I would like. I would just vote for Donald Trump.

He said he would vote for Donald Trump if Donald Trump actually put something on the table tangible for black people. But you know you can break that up, but envy. The only thing I wanted to stop saying is we gotta stop saying Joe Biden didn't come on the Breakfast Club, because people think that we're personally attacking Joe Biden because he didn't come on the breakas Club. I want Joe Biden to have these three things on his table in order for me to feel comfortable voting for him. Number

one is a black agenda. Number two is a black woman running me. Number three he already said he put a black woman on the Supreme Court. I want him to commit to those things for me to feel really, really comfortable going out to vote for him in November. Hello, who's this just Blue? Hey guys. I wanted to say thank you for taking my phone call, but I wanted to say I understand what Diddie is saying as for as what he wanted a black agenda, but this is not the sound for that. Trump. Oh my god, let

him talk. Hold on, hold on, let me talk with Charloteagne. He spend one back human rights as far as he want to nominate another Supreme Court justice that's gonna take away women's rights. He rolling back hoods or programs. He's trying to take away people's voting rights. Like I definitely want a black attender. But man, we gotta get out there and vote and get this guy out father here, or we're gonna lose more than what we even had

before he came. I feel you, But man, it feels like every single election black people are forced to vote out of fear. Every single election, black people are choosing between the lesser of two evils. That I just hate to see. How united the Republicans always are and how divided the Democrats always Well, well you know why, because Republicans fall in line, Democrats fall in love. You know

what I'm saying. We have to love the individual. Republicans love their interests, and that's all we need to start doing. All right, keep a lot of this to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Hey, now it's time for the positive note. Listen man. The positive note simply that you know you got my new books, shook one anxiety playing tricks on me, and you know. I

like to talk about positive affirmations a lot. I feel like positive affirmation keep you in a mentally healthy space. So I just want to tell you today to tell yourself a few positive affirmations, like today will be a good day. Everything will be okay. I am in control of my life and feelings. I have people that love me, I have a lot to be grateful for. Tomorrow will be better. If you're having a bad day to day and everything you need is within you, say that to yourself,

everything I need is within me. Breakface Club. You y'all finish or y'all dumb.
