this Preakfast Club petitions. Good morning Usa, yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo yo. Good morning Angelo. Ye damn money dandy, sholom me the god peace of the planet is Tuesday. It was happening and shout our filmily in Toronto. Good morning Toronto. Okay, I was waiting to hear it. I was buying. Get on, somebody ass waiting to hear it. A some happy to

hear that. What's happening, t dot, what's going on? Well, good morning another day. It's Tuesday. Yeah, another day, and I'm very, very very tired of quarantine radio. Okay, I can see why Tory Lane stopped doing it so soon. I am over quarantine radio. I'm ready to be back in the studio. You hear me. Okay, Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen for another thirty days. I'm thinking

assuming well, today it's also primary. Today's also primary elections happening, So make sure you go out and vote if you're in Georgia, Nevada, North Dakota, South Carolina, and West Virginia. It is. I got my guy Jamie Harrison zooming in today because he's running for a SYNAG seat in South Carolina, trying to throw Lindsay Lady bug Graham. Okay, so Jamie, you'll be calling in um zooming in sometime this morning. I'm adusted bout zoom too. I'm zoomed out. Yeah, me too.

I figured out why too, though, because it's like when you're sitting in front of the zoom, it's like you you gotta be on. It's not like when you're in a meeting and you're feeding off the energy of a person. You know, human human interaction is important. When you are on zoom, it's just like you're just staring at the screen. After a while, it just it just takes a lot out of you. Bro. After I don't need an hour

long zoom call. Give me ten minutes and I'm good. Yeah, I have to agree with you, brother, I'm tired of zoom calls. I'm tired. I'm sorry. I really like to see you guys. I like to be in a studio. I love to see the energy. I like my driving in the morning. But hey, we're alive, We're okay, we're healthy. That's the most important thing. We're We're family. Very true. I'm tired of having to clean my house all the time. I feel like the more I'm home, the messier my

house gets. But I feel like every single day. Yeah, but now I got to cook every day, three times a day. I'm always cleaning up. I used to dishwash her every day, and then his clothes everywhere. It's just feels like it's a lot when you're because usually I'm not home that much, so I'm in and out, in and out. But now it's like yesterday I did something. I used a swiffer for the first time, and I didn't realize that they use batteries because I usually use

a regular mop. I never used a swiffer before, but I was, you know, I was out shopping. I was like, let me try to swiffer. So I didn't realize it uses batteries until I was breaking down the box to put out with the recycling, and I was like, oh, this is how this thing works. I was just pushing it on the floor and not knowing what I was doing. But it's actually pretty good. Well, if you like a real challenge, you can come over here. And I got five kids, and you think your message crazy? You follow

these five kids. These five kids are crazy. They eat. I did that. I give a whole chores. They all got chores. They all have chores. They all have responsibilities that they have to do. And if not, I wake them up at five o'clock in the morning to make him do it at five in the morning. I just don't know where all this stuff comes from. All the time, I'm like, I clean, as promised you every single day. And I'm the type of person I can't go to bed if my house is messy, so every single day.

All right, Well, let's get the show cracking. Jalen and Jacoby will be joining us, of course, from ESPN, Jalen Rose, David Jakobe. We'll be kicking in with them this morning. And also, as Charlemagne said, Lindsay a grandma from US Senate in South Carolina, Jamie Harrison, US man. I don't know why he's running against Lindsey Graham. My bad learning against Lindsay Graham. Jamie Harrison will be joining us this morning as well. All right, but let's get the show

cracking front page news. What we're talking about, Well, let's talk about the Democrats haven billed a police reform bill, and that bill would be in chokehold and no knock warrants. I'm gonna tell you other things. All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping locked this to breakfast club. Good morning morning everybody. N Angela, Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we all to breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news when we starting. Ye, Well, Congressional Democrats have put out

this bill. It's called the Justice empower to See Act, and this bill would band chokeholds like the one that was used by the former police officers and the death of George Floyd last month, as well as banning no knock warrants in drug cases. Like the one that was used in the incident that led to Brianna Taylor getting

killed in Louisville, Kentucky, back in March. The legislation has more than two hundred Democratic co sponsors in the House and the Senate, and it would also require local police departments to send data on the use of force of the federal government. Also, it would create a grant program that would allow state attorney generals to create an independent process to investigate misconduct or excessive use of force. And the bill would make it easier for people to recover

damages when police departments violate their civil rights. And this is also the bill that would make lynching a federal hate crime for the first time. Yeah, that's crazy that they even in their fighting. Noble goddamn whether or not lynching should be made a hate crime and brand from should be ashamed himself. He's holding that up. Well, everything you just said is all that matters. Man. Policies, legislation, and reparations the only way to atone for what's going

on out here in these American screech as. You got to change the laws. I don't care about you, win Kin, take Clough and Neil and looking like White Conda forever. You gotta change some policies, legislations, and reparations. That's it. Well, right before the news conference, Pelosi and other Democratic lawmakers actually did nail in kenta cloth for eight minutes and

forty six seconds and silent tribute to George Floyd. Now there's also in this bill a training program would be created to under that bill that would would cover racial bias and duty to intervene. And the measure would require their police officers use deadly force only as a last resort and use de escalation techniques as well, and it would require a federal registry from misconduct complaints and disciplinary

actions under against police officers. So also, federal uniform police officers would be required to wear body cameras, and marked federal police vehicles will be required to have dashboard cameras. I thought all that was already in play. I thought I thought they already had to do. Let I think this is on the federal level, though, because you know, state by state things are different. I could have sworn

a state by state. I thought every state had to have bodycams and they had to have a dashboard cam. That's what I assumed the body cam ras ain't never ons. Well that's the thing. Yeah, you can say it. But if they ain't on, them have come as soon as you as soon as you clock in as a police officer, that body camp just automatically turns on. You can't turn

it off. That's what it should. Well, Donald Trump tweeted out, this year has seen the lowest crime numbers in our country's recorded history, and now the radical left Democrats want to defund and abandon our police. Sorry, I went law and order. Here's what Donald Trump had to say. There won't be defunding. There won't be dismantling of our police. Of them are great, great people, and they've done jobs that are record setting, so our crime statistics are at

the level that they haven't been at. They really are playing Jedi mind tricks with the American people, though, because defunding the police and dismantling the police are two different things. Yeah, defunding the police is simply taking money from them big ass police budgets, and then taking some of that bread

and investing it into communities, especially the marginalized ones. That's beautiful, you know what I'm saying, Because the hood never gets that kind of funding, investing schools and hospitals and housing and food in the hood, investing social services for mental health. If you provide folks in the hood with a better quality of life, then guess what will happen? Crime will go down? Simple facts, right, And Joe Biden is saying that he also is opposing defunding the police. He said

he does not believe the police should be defunded. He hears and shares the deep grief and frustration of those calling out for change, and it's driven to ensure that justice is done and that we put a stack to this terrible pain. But they said, we do need the need for a reform, including funding for public schools, summer programs, mental health and stepsance abuse treatments, so that officers can focus on the job of policing. So he does not want to defund the police. What am I missing about

the term defund the police. Defunding the police is not disbanding the police. It's not abolishing the police. It's simply defunding the police. New York has a six The NYPD has a six billion dollar budey. Some of that money. Take some of that money, put it in the communities that need it simple as that provide better quality opportunities for the hood. Crime will go down. That means policing will go down, which means interactions with police will go down,

which means police killings will go down. Like what am I missing here? What's wrong with the funding the police? Right? And that is something that they are talking about doing. That is something they're planning to do in New York, in LA and Minneapolis. And we'll discuss that more this morning. All right, Well, lads, frog police officers themselves. It's not like we're taking money out of y'all pocket six billion dollars budget. Y'all ain't out here, you know, getting seven

figures a year. Okay, that money ain't going to y'all. Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one O five one. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe a bad night, horrible name, or maybe you feel blessed, whatever it may be, get it off your chess. Eight hundred five eight five one on five one is to breakfast club. Good morning the breakfast club. It is your time to get it off your chests, whether you're man or blessed, so you would have the same And we want to hear from you

on the breakfast club. Hello, who's this? My name is Anthony, Anthony, Wh's up getting go a few chess? So? I was just calling into about the comment made about defunding the you know, police or whoever it may be, in putting it back into the communities. I just don't understand how that would solve any issues, because if if people continue a certain lifestyle they're living, they're just going to take that for granted and still look up to the wrong people,

or and sell drugs and hang out all day. Hello. I think the real problem is people don't have any drives, and that's how they end those certain communities. You know what I mean? No, that's not true. That's not true. We end up in those certain communities because the systemic racism. And it's not that we don't have no drive, we don't have no opportunity. If you provide folks in the hood with a better quality of life, providing with better

quality opportunities, then guess what will happen. Crime will go down, Policing will go down, which means interactions with police will go down, which means police killings will go down. That's what are you from? Everybody everything. I'm one hundred percent on both that you know. Are you from, sir, I'm from down the shore, down the shore, listening to you guys every day on my commute up to up to working u down. The show is very beautiful. But let

me ask you a question. You know, when you went to school and some of the schools that some of the people that you were just talking about, it's totally different some of some of the some of the students don't have books, some of the students don't have computers. Some of the students have to walk through metal detectives to get to just to get to school. You know, it's a totally different game plan where you went to school and where they went to school. So it's not

a matter about having drive. It's a matter most of them don't have an opportunity. You know, you you probably raising the house. Correct, I'm sorry, you're raising the house, sir, Yes, all right, right now. Your parents were probably easy for them to get a loan to purchase at home. You know, a lot of people can't get a loan to get a house. It's not that that they don't have drive, is that it's that the banks won't lend them any money. So it's totally two different rays that you were raised

the naval raise. Its not a matter about drive. You think they drive to stay in the hood, though they drive to get out. But the opportunities enough to say, well, they have to have where they have examples where it has worked, like in Jersey City back in twenty thirteen and Camden they did away with the police department and they had a renewed focus on community service and they said it actually worked out really well, and Barack Obama praised that when it happened. So there are instances where

they can show how effective that has been. Well, hold on, you be careful with that. We don't want them to get rid. We don't want them to get rid of the police department. You want them to take funding out of the police department. Those funding those those police have two big they have these huge budgets. Take some of that money and put it in the community. We don't want to get rid of the brook. But there was one thing I also wanted to share that you know,

construction unions, they're real big on hiring minorities. If you know, you just gotta go apply. And you know, I'm in a construction union. You know, everybody gets paid the same, doesn't matter what you're doing. If you're part of the union, there's one wage, and you know you can make a damn near a hunter thousand a year plus. You know, without a college degree, you just gotta go apply and you know fire. You know, hard work and getting up early.

But you know the bus stops. Bro bro, bro, Stop acting like people in the Hood are lazy and they don't have no drive. That is a nasty stereotype that white supremacists like to push. Because I'm gonna simply tell you this, what you got growing up was funding. What the hood doesn't get, what black communities don't get, is funding. So let's defund the money and put it into a community. I didn't go to college because I would have tried to pay for it. I joined, you know, construction, because

that was my outlet. I mean, you was provided you don't know me. You was provided the opportunity by you was provided. You was provided the opportunity buy. I just applied and I got in. That that was my opportunity. It's out there for everybody, that's right, and that's why we want the funding. They want the funding. We want the funding to go to our community, so it can go into our schools, Okay, so they can get that kind of information to know to apply for those kind

of jobs. We definitely need job training programs in the hood. That's the funding, that's where the funding would go. But that's the problem. The problem is is when when some people look at our community, they say, oh, they're lazy, but they don't necessarily understand that you don't have the same opportunities that a lot of people have. And it's not even that's not even that they're asking for a million dollar loans, that they're just asking for an opportunity.

You know how many how hard it is to go try to get a job, and they look at the color you're getting, they pass. It still happens, do you know what happens to get it? It just you can't think like that. It's it's not like, oh, well, in the hood, everybody's lazy, that's not it. Most of the time, these kids don't have the opportunity. They don't have knowledge, they don't have the books, they don't have the resources.

And that's why it is important because when you defund the police and you put them money into the communities, especially the schools. Guess what will happen in those schools. They'll have job training programs. That's it simple as that. You got to prepare people not only for the jobs that are available now, but the jobs that are gonna be available in the twenty first century, tech and all the other stuff. That's what job training programs are for. And the sad thing is, I don't that guy that

just called I don't think he was racist. I just think he's unknowledgeable. I just really think he doesn't know. And I think a lot of people just don't know and just don't get it. Like honestly, I just doesn't get up to them to get it up. It's up. It's up to us to get it and make sure that we bring those resources to our people who need it. Five eight five one oh five one. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning, the Breakfast Club. I'm this is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. Eight five one. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello. Who's this? Hello? Hello? Good morning? Just is Whitney. How are you guys? Whitney? Good morning. I have to get something off my chest. And this is directly in response to what Angeline says this morning and regards to Joe Biden. But against I'm a part

of the younger generation. I know these old folks in the political poward and all this thing know that a will because if we are married in the ancient we have short attention spells. And all I'm hearing is after we marched from Grant Concord to forty second Streets, from Brooklyn to Queen, after we caught Rubbert bullets art Pass, after we got run down by the posy, after the nurses got snatched up, after all these things, they still do not want to see runs the police. So I'm

ask this is why we keep it. We're angry like and I just don't understand. This is why young people do not get some because they just feel like this straight off the bowl. And that's exactly how I feel. I still try to get out and go go. I still try to, you know, be a part of the sea, do the right thing. But I just don't feel like now I've brought all trust when it comes to the police, to the politics all that, because I just feel like they don't actually listen to what people are saying, you

know what, and it's more important. I would say for young people to even run for office. You know, there's an interesting book you should read this car run for something that talks about different offices. You can run for what you need in order to be able to run for office. And I think that we should encourage people, especially the younger generation, to be more involved in politics and not even just voting, but also running for office. I'm definitely gonna read that because right now this is

just creating. This is the most I've ever been involved in politics, because like it's literally directly affecting my people. Again, I come to me itself where I've had a white man through crack cocaine under my car. Basually I was feeling drugs that oh deund police not take away the powers and anners out there who feel like they have all these power, Like that's crazy to me and I

just don't understand. I feel like America in the nineteen twenty right, well, we gotta salute, we gotta salute Governor Cuomo because he did pass a bill yesterday that if those Karen's call um, you know they make those fake nine one one calls, you know they do go to jail. But but, but Joe Biden and this team aren't the brightness. I'm starting to realize that I watched Kamala Harris knocked that question out the park yesterday on the View when

they asked her about the funding the police. She did a great job. Nancy Pelosi didn't want to even answer the question, and Joe Biden's great up fumbled it tone deaf is hell. And then when people don't show up in November, they're gonna be looking clueless and blaming voters for not coming out instead of giving them a reason to come out to vote. Are you not paying attention to what these kids are out here going through? Yes,

to fund the police, It's a simple answer. Yes, I would like to take funds from the police department and invest back into the hoods that need them. Simple. How do you blow that question? All right? Get it off your chest? Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. Now we got rumors on the way. Yes, Well, let's talk about finances the world's highest paid celebrities. Who do you think is number one on that list? All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping locked this to Breakfast Club,

Good morning, the Breakfast club. She's filling the team. This is the rumor of four with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Yes, so Forbes put out the world's highest paid celebrities, and who do you think was number one on the list celebrities, either Rhianna or Kanye was Kylie Jenner five hundred and ninety million dollars. Kanye was actually number two on that list, by the way, So okay, I guess they're keeping in the family. He's worth one hundred and well, he pulled in one hundred and seventy

million dollars. Most of that money came from his Yeasy sneaker deal with Adidas. Now, other people who made this Rihanna this year she's in the top ten. No, she didn't make it into the top ten. But I'll tell you who did make it in the top ten. Tyler Perry's number six on the list. How it's stirring his number eight. Lebron is number nine, and Dwayne Johnson is number ten. The rock on that top ten lists, I know would be in that top ten. Yeah, and a

lot of old people have one thing in common. They all have ownership with something that they're doing. You know, Tyler Perry of course, has a lot of ownership. Kylle Jenner has ownership, Kanye has ownership. So equity is the way to go people. Yeah, did He is number thirty seven on the list with fifty five million dollars. Steph Curry he's number sixteen with seventy four point four million dollars. Other people who made the list Billie Eilish, she made

fifty three million dollars. Jerry Seinfeld, he's number forty six with fifty one million dollars. They also said, because of the pandemic, a lot of people that normally would make the list like a lot higher up, like a Tillist Swift or Paul McCartney. You know, they're a little bit lower. Yeah, because of that, but they're still on their list. Now, podcasting has made its first appearance because of Bill Simmons, who made eighty two point five million dollars and he

was number thirteen. Yes, on that list. Also lem Manuel Miranda, the creator of Hamilton, he made the list for the first time. He was number sixty two with forty five point five million dollars, So congratulations to him as well. Good to see podcasting on that list. That means Joe Rogan will probably be there next year. I thought Billy Aillis was a girl. Yes, Oh okay, I thought you say he all right? Real, she is a girl, all right. Now.

Speaking of money, Alan Arberson, he set to collect his thirty two million dollars trust fund payment in twenty thirty when he turns fifty five years old. That's because of a lifetime reboke contract that he has, and they've been paying him eight hundred thousand dollars a year, so they are actually going to be when he turns fifty five. So ten years from now he'll be able to get

that thirty two million dollars trust fund payment. Yeah, somebody looked at for AAR when he was young, somebody who knew their finances, because I mean, they have a lifetime deal getting eight hundred thousand dollars a year, and they have that trust phone he turns fifty five, that's great, That's that's what it's about. And he's my favorite he's my favorite basketball player too. But shout he just had a celebrated birthday a couple days ago too. He was

turning forty five Sunday. Well, but chuck for aar and then my finances. Steve Harvey has purchased Tyler Perry's mansion in Atlanta, and he paid fifteen million dollars for that seventeen acres. Tyler Perry built that in two thousand and seven, sold it in twenty sixteen, and now Steve Harvey owns it in twenty twenty. So look, dope, look really really dope. Don't you like to see all that property in land passed from black hand to black hand? Ain't that's incredible?

There was somebody in between, But I love to see it absolutely all right. And Nick Cannon talks about having to have that talk about staying alive with his three children to protect them from police brutality. He was talking to Access Hollywood, and here's what he said. I made a statement that my children fear police. I didn't say

you should be. I try to teach fearlessness. But when they see the energy of law enforcement, when oh, here comes the police, or that mindset of sit up straight and don't talk, keep your hands where they can see. When these are things that I'm talking to a three year old about that are nine year olds about, and they bring those questions to me, it's hurtful to have those conversations with your children, but you want to protect

them at the end of the day. Yeah, I mean, it's a very difficult conversation to have because you don't know how much is too much, you know what I mean, And you don't want to plant seeds that aren't necessarily there yet in your children's brains. But the reality of the situation is the racism is always really there and it's only a matter of time before they experience it overtly, are covertly. So it's better them to be prepared with what's to come, so it's not a shock to them,

so they're not surprised. You know, you don't want them, you know, thinking that life is sweet when it's not. All right, Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right now, when we come back, we got front page news what we're talking about, yes, and we are gonna be talking about Donald Trump and what he has to say about defunding the police. All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning, all right, morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlemagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page News where we're starting. Ye, Well, George Floyd, his public memorial service was yesterday in Houston and thousands of people went to pay respect. Now, one person who s folk was Eric Garner's mother, Gwen Carr. Here's what he had to say. They have doubled back and claimed another life by a chokehole. That's why we have to fight for justice. This family is hurt now, just like

I'm hurt. My hurt don't go away. So that's why I know what they are feeling. And just like you're out here today, don't go home and don't do anything. You're paying your respects. But the most respect you can play is to help this family come out even after the cameras. The camera's going to be gone in a

few days. That's right, She's absolutely right. And guess what it will be another black person killed at the hands of the police, you know, in the next couple of weeks, three weeks, if we don't push for some type of real systemic change out here in these streets and just man through this mechanism called white supremacy. Yeah, we were just talking behind the scenes about the gentleman that was

killed on a New Jersey Turnpike. The police were supposed to have body cameras, but they say the police never got body cameras. So that you know, another unarmed black person was killed and we don't have the old information at with that case yet. And today George Floyd's funeral will be live stream so you can see that as well. It's a private funeral that will take place at the Fountain of Praise Church at eleven AM in Houston. And that service, again, you can live stream that service. It'll

be limited to five hundred people. Now. The X Minneapolis cop Derek Schabin was in court yesterday and his bill was set at up to one point two five million dollars for those murder charges. So he's being charged with second and third degree murder and second degree manslaughter. But they also said that there is gonna be a lot lower. No, they said it's gonna well, they said it's gonna be

a lot lower. They say, once he decides to hand over his guns and say that he'll never step close to George Floyd's family, that they'll probably lower at bail,

which is crazy. Been in jail right now for a nearly two weeks, so right at this point he'll have to post one point two five million if he wants to be released with no conditions, but he can be released after posting one million dollars bill if he agrees to a buy by conditions that includes appearing for all future court appearances, not working in a security capacity, and not possessing firearms or retaining a firearms permit. I pray he doesn't have the money to get up. I'm prayer

he doesn't have any bail money. I really do, I hope. So you know, some of these cops are doing all kinds of go fund means and stuff like x police officers to try to raise money because the other three officers that were charged as well for aiding and a betting.

All right, now, talk about the Congressional Democrats. They have put out a sweeping police reform bill that would ban chokeholds like what was used in the death of George Floyd last month, and they would also be banning no knock warrants and drug cases like what was used in the fatal shooting of Brianna Taylor and Louisville, Kentucky, back

in March. And in addition to that, it would create a grant program that would allow state attorney generals to create an independent process that would investigate misconduct or excessive use of force. And there's a lot of things in this bill that they want to have just because you know, police departments when you violate, when they violate your civil rights. They would make lynching a federal hate crime. They would make it easier for people to recover damages when things

like that happen. And here's what Donald Trump has to say also about defunding the police. There won't be defunding. There won't be dismantling of our police. Of them are great, great people, and they've done jobs that are record setting. So our crime statistics are at a level that they haven't been at. Kamala Harris anybody else that I was gonna say, Kamala Harris was on the view and she

described what defending the police really is. We have confused the idea that to achieve safety, you put more cops on the street, instead of understanding to achieve safe and healthy communities, you put more resources into the public education system of those communities, into affordable housing, into home ownership, and to access to capital for small businesses, access to healthcare, regardless of how much money people have. That's how you

achieve safe and healthy communities. And so we really do need to understand and reimagine what and how we can actually make and help make communities safe. Drop in a clues Bons sending to Kamala Harris. That's how you answer that question. Don't let Donald Trump of anybody else make you think defunding the police is a bad thing. They are trying to jedi mind trick, y'all got you thinking that the funding the police is expanding the police, abolishing

the police. Know, the funding the police is taking resources from those big as city budgets and putting that money into poor and disenfranchise communities. Invest in schools, hospitals for better healthcare, housing, better food in the hood, investing social services for mental health, job training programs, teach kids trades,

after school programs, rec centers. By the way, when we talk about dis mantling systemic racism, descrowing the mechanism of white supremacy, not funding the hood, not funding the black community, that's all part of it, because the whole point of systemic racism is de marginalized. And that's why people like Trump or so against the funding the police. Okay, and listen. If you don't like the term to fund the police, how about divest invest divest from police budgets to invest

in the people. You like that better, That makes you feel better? Huh? All right, well that is your front page news. Yes, and I said the turnpipe, but it's actually the Garden State Parkway is where the brother was killed. The Garden State Parkway, not the turnpipe. All right. Now, when we come back, Jalen and Jacolby will be joining us of us from ESPN. We're gonna kick it with them when we come back to Don't Move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club pointing everybody's DJ

Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now from ESPN, we have our guys, Jalen and Jacobe. Welcome fellas water up too, and you know we got to come to the Breakfast Club to give up be b what hey, wall I want to say saluting you and Jacobe because y'all bring a sense of normalcy to

my day. Like you know, for the past three months I have along, we've been in this little quarantine just to be able to turn on ESPN and see y'all on TV, whether it's y'all a first take, and the fact that y'all find a way to talk about and there's no sports is incredible. We definitely appreciate the love and support. It feels like both of our shows were

on to come up at the same time. Each of us are similar at age and you guys movement has started basically around a day eight, kind of like ours, and I've seen you guys continue to grow an inch, an inch and inch and become the number one show. It's successful in your own right like Wultan clan. So congratulation, Thank you, thank you. Are you excited for the NBA season to come back? Did you think this is gonna happen? I'm definitely excited about the NBA comeback. It's gonna be

unorthodox in a lot of ways. It's gonna be like reak ball on a Saturday when it's hot outside and the wind blowing, no all elements. It's not gonna be chalk. It's gonna be upsets, it's gonna be injured players coming back to play well. Ultimately, Charlotte Maagne is gonna be happy because I believe Lebron James is still find the

way to win the championship. One thing about the NBA announcement that really jumped out to me is there like, yeah, we're gonna bring it back to heabrity, go to a Lando, we're starting season. Here's the format, and like, yeah, we're gonna start all that in July thirty. First, Like what are y'all doing for the next eight weeks? Like, what's

gonna happen? You guys talk about it every day. There's something happening called COVID nineteen and it's probably going to sight over the next two or three weeks, best on a civil unrest, and we're just not socially distancing anymore. And so based on that, I think they're built in a curve where it can spight in two or three weeks and then they can decline into three weeks. What

the parameters with this? Now? Now I'm hearing that everybody's gonna be staying in Disney, They're gonna be playing in Disney, not but not allowed to leave, not allowed to see family members? What are the parameters with this new league? Go? I should say this after COVID nineteen, NBA, well, they got what's called a bubble down there and in theory

you're not supposed to leave. But one thing that they are doing, which I appreciate, I know, you've got a bunch of kids too, envy is you bring the family, you know, you bring the family into the bubble. So the kids are gonna get that Disney Hotel to themselves, get the pool to themselves, you know. So like the kids are gonna be happy, it's just the athletes themselves

are going to be in that bubble. But it's almost impossible not to come in contact or even being shared the same air as someone who is outside the bubble. So one thing we will see the people aren't really talking about is we're gonna see some positive results in the NBA and how they deal with that in the

implications of that. Who really knows what's gonna happen. I do think Lebron, I do think the Lakers are gonna win, But I'm still not sleeping on the Clippers because for me at this point, it's about who was staying in shape over the past three months. Absolutely, and each person

scenario is different. So if you all NBA season vet, you got the mansion, the gym, the chef, the trainer, your quarantine, and it's not really missing to be other than going to the facility, NA see young cats who are apartment living, can't work out in the gym, can't swim in the pool, don't have access. And so it's gonna be great for the people who are married with kids to be quarantine and the resort in Orlando and ing good. What about the single guys. That's gonna be disaster.

Now is gonna be to play with no fans because you know, players play feed off the energy, they feed off the fans, they feed off what's going on. So the fact that nobody's did how difficult is that gonna be? It's gonna be a completely different game, That's what I'm saying. It's like the greatness is still going to rise. So the Lakers and the Clippers and Yannis and the Bucks don't sleep on the Celtics, don't sleep on the Houston Rockets and the Shotgun series like this. But you practice

without fans, and that seems like work. The game is with fans, So that's the fun, and that's gonna be missing, And it's gonna be interesting to see how the players interact with one another, because it was one thing when players had a dislike for each other to not have fans. But it's another thing. If the players are don't have dislike for each other and you can hear what they're saying,

you're gonna be at home, like, come on, man. If the one are like good shot or a good move, or if they're complimenting each other too much and you can hear it, you're not gonna like to hear that as a fan. Do you think athletes have a social responsibility to ball players when they come out and come back to speak about the protest jail? Absolutely so over my shoulder. For those that can't see, it's one of

my favorite pitchers. It's an iconic one and it's the Ali Summit is where Muhammad Ali refused to go to the military. Is Luou Center, a young Luout center before he was kareemaw Buling Department, Phil Russell is, Jim Brown, the greatest players, the greatest champions, the greatest social warriors that sports have seen. Our voice always needed to be heard.

It's just that the masses tried to muszle it. Because we helped build this country over five hundred years, and now our voices are loud as ever we stand in the suburbs. Now we get more money than ever. We

am bolden now. So when I see Jalen Brown and Malcolm Broden with their amazing NBA contracts and security, yet their voices of protests being heard on the front line and Stephen Jackson, we need that in the swe and the ground swell has been to continue to grow because unlike the sixties, it's not just black people, it's multiple people of different ethnicities that are tired of the oppress

has taken place in the United States of America. What did you guys think about Roger Goodell's statement and what do you think it's going to happen moving forward? What would you like to see the NFL do now? I think his video was great theater, but it was not genuine because if it was, he would have mentioned Colin Kaepernick by name. And by the way, he didn't do the video until thirteen and fourteen, notable NFL players did

their mixtape version of one for the NFL. That's why it's important for you to use your voice if you have one, and the larger your platform. I can't lie anytime I'm seeing Michael Jordan and Tiger was dropped the statements. That's the first time in my life that that's happened in my life. And if you know the history of America and wh do they have to go all the way back to slavery. I'm just talking about anytime there's a lot of black voice, many times it becomes something

that's a predator. And on murder by police officers, people we paid to protect, the served of when people out there to google fran Hampton, he was murdered at Chicago police in the middle of the night. Okay, I can give you a hundred of these examples. And so based on how we continue to progress as a society, what has happened is wait a minute, that happened to George Floyda, that happened in a male augury, that happened to Brianna Taylor.

But then all of a sudden, a buffalo, a seventy nine year old elderly man gets pushed by the release and ambush and they walk over him while he's on the ground bleeding, and you can see the officers pushing one another away from each other. So now all of a sudden, suburban America and white America is looking like wait a minute, we hear that you guys are being oppressed now that revolution is being televised and it's on Instagram and it's on social media. But they're also doing

this to us as well. Wait a minute, we need to unite together and may change. And that's a brown swell that makes the enthusiastic about what I'm seeing right now. This feels different. This doesn't feel like the first Eric Garner, I can't bring. This doesn't it's a paradigm ship. This feels like it's gonna be a paradigm ship. I agree with. All Right, we got more with Jaylen and Jacobe when we come back. Don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning,

DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlemagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Jalen and Jacobe. Charlemagne, you know what else jailing too, man and I would love for you and Jacobe to do this at ESPN, like we can't let these corporations turn this into black lives marketing, meaning like, Yo, how many people black people work at your place of business? How many black people do you haven't seeing your roles at your company? How many Black people on your board, what does your black

representation look like? I feel like a thirteen percent of Black people make up the population, we should make up thirteen percent of all industries when it comes to equity ownership and involvement. I don't want to hear nothing about no Black lives matter if if your company doesn't reflect that, I mean, I can't respond that on behalf ESPN. But one thing that I am concerned about, much like you, is this needs to happen over years and for the

change that you're talking about, especially with senior roles. A lot of times people make diversity hires, but they make those diversity hires the lower ranks of the company and it doesn't really change the tip of the spear. So I feel like if this needs to happen over weeks and weeks and years and years and months and months in order to make that real change and to make the representation at the top of these big corporations the

same as the representation in the streets. You know, the cross section of the population should be represented at the top of the corporation, is not just the bottom. And as a founder of a tuition three public charter of high school, we just had our six graduation. I started the school nine years ago, and when I do those posts, or when I graduate eighty students this year, twelve from college, and when I service over a thousand students, that's a footnote.

They ain't even discussed. And so why did I do it? Because I realize something. Racism also needed a vaccine. It is called education. And we're gonna keep pushing all of these black faces that are graduating from our school, and one hundred percent of them are going on to college or universities and community college because they're gonna be are going to be the successful people that can help lead the charge that each of you guys talked about on

the daily basis. Well, we don't celebrate jailing enough for that school man dropping a few bombs for jailing in a school. Swoth to Lebron. Lebron got this school. Lebron gets a lot of attention. Jailing. You've been doing you us for nine years. We don't celebrate you enough for that completely tuition free amazing. We're of nine through sixteen model. So I have four hundred scholars in high school and then we have another six hundred between their freshmen and

fifth year of college. So the reason why I went age fourteen to twenty two is because that's when young black men and women start to be viewed by society as a dangerous species. That's where we start to be overlooked. That's what we start to be served. And it's a thousand of them that we graduated from high school, graduated from college, putting them in trade school. And we're very proud of everybody, from our board, to our chaff and to all of the parentsons schollege that putting our hard

work every day. Did you see the picture of yourself and they put you in the Hampton University outfit a uniform that I've seen Carmelo, Anthony and Morgan State and they had Kevin Duran and Howard Yes, Abby, I cannot from I afforded that picture to myself. And I'm printing that out because the opposite of being a member of the Fab five, and that's five guys at a white university that was able to change the landscape the way

we were able to change it. The total opposite of that is going to Hampton and having a great time. And I know I have fun at Michigan, but I'm telling you right now, oh my goodness following to a black college man. Please, but how do we get more athletes to do it? Because but I've seen that pie though it was amazing, I was like, it just takes a couple of players, Like how do we you know, what do you think about? You know, black player is going to HBCU and playing for hbc and you keeping

the money in the HBCU. I think it would do amazing things for those those universities and colleges. All it's gonna happen. I'm gonna tell you why. Because players going overseas to get a check. Players are able to go to the G League to get a check, and a couple of years you're gonna be able to leave high

school and go straight to the NBA Draft. So basically, your options to go to a big college or university virtus go to an HBCU other than the platform that they can provide because they have so much more money, the fellowship you get with your people. I came front early nineties. I was at Michigan and I was looking at outcast video. I was like, Oh, I need to get to bringing in and I have a picture of myse and Mark Curry in Magic City when I was in college, I was like, oh, man, I should go

to a black school. This is great. So I believe it's gonna eventually happen. Now, what do you guys that's on James Dolan and his lack of a statement and then his leaked email is going out. What do you think people are are thinking about James Dolan and going to play for the next Well, I would say this is not putting out a statement is one thing, right, and that to me is wrong. That's just my opinion.

But to write an email to all of your employees explaining while you're not putting out a statement, like, I don't understand how that can even happen. Then you start, you start taking it to the next level. You're like, all right, can we get him out of the league? Right, because this isn't the first time. He's a habitual line stepper when it comes to this kind of thing. But I just don't think the legislatures there. I mean, he owns the team, so I don't think that this is

a quote unquote fireable offense for him. But if I'm a free agent, I don't want to go play there. I don't want to go there when You've got the nets right across the river, why not understand how Katie and Kyrie went there. You've got the Child's Oakley incident, him yelling at a fan, getting a fan kicked out. He needs to just sell the team. Spike Lee. Yeah,

then Spike Lee exactly. And the problem with this is I watched those Forbes lists every year, and the the value of the Knicks just keeps going up and up and up and up. There's no reason for him to sell the team when every single year hundreds of millions of dollars in value gets added to that, no matter what they put on the floor, no matter what their record is. And at this point we're stuck with him. And if you're in New yorker's a stupid Jacobe. New Yorkers a good agree as I hear you tell the

James Dolan story. Unfortunately, it reminds me a lot in a parallel universe and what's going on in our country. So you're talking about somebody that doesn't seem to be inclusive, doesn't seem to be embracing the Black Lives Matter movement, but yet they're making more money off the sweat equity that the black players are putting on the floor. I see it. I see a common theme there. That's unfortune. All right, we got more with Jaylen and Jacobe when

we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy and Jela Yee. Charlomne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking in with Jalen and Jacobe. You know, Jealen, you said something earlier about micing the players up. I think that they're gonna have to do that in the NBA. I also think that they should find a way to have like a live Twitter ticker rolling at the bottom of the screen. You know what I mean, what do you

think of that? Here's the problem with the players aren't gonna be miked up, but you're only gonna hear a water down version of thinking about this. This is gonna be these are gonna be made for TV events. You'll hear crowd noise, you might be cut out cardboards and people in the stands. There's gonna be people socially distancing. It's gonna be a made for TV event. And so I wish we can hear the true trash talk that you guys hear on street ball or what people going

to play or whatnot. But it's gonna be filtered so much by the team, by the league. Yeah, you're gonna hear some check up or a one or like normal stuff, but you're not gonna hear what they really say when they get the technical files, because that's gonna be backed up. You don't think social media interaction Jacobe Jailly. I don't think that would be good interaction, not from the play. I'm talking about people watching it at home gonna be cursing on TV. They have to filter that, they have

to feel. I mean, they could have so they could have some sort of curated Twitter live streaming feed, but we've tried that sort of thing before and it never really hits the way you wanted to, like like I'd rather watch the game than read the game, you know.

And I think that if you we know those coaches huddle where they let us in on every time they let us into a coaches huddle, they're not saying anything like come on, guys, rebound, try hard, because we only get like every time I'm like what they're seeing that they're talking like seven year olds, like what is this? Like this this guy's getting paid ten million dollars to say try hard. So there only to give us these little tiny stippets, we won't be able to see what's

really going on. But I want to know. I just want to know there's gonna be some There's gonna be some lobby bar action going on in Orlando, you know. I want to know if our reporters are ready for that, you know, because there's gonna be some lobby bar action going on. The lobby bar is gonna be popping in Orlando, and I want to know who's gonna tell me about tell you what bet not happened. I bet I see TMT stories because you guys know, and I don't want

to see nobody on the Angela Yee Report. I just hope there's about any cool England between huffans and wives of other teams, because that's a time to be in the same place at the same time, walking from the bar to the pool to the road. I'm just saying, See, you could have got away with that previously when you were playing, but nowadays, with social media, there's not much that people can get away with, you know. And the reader, I guess that came to mind because I just saw.

I don't know if it just happened. I know you guys probably noticed. Arizona has a legislation that basically four bids civilians from filming the police. Did you guys know this? I didn't know that. No, yeah, I didn't know it was an Arizona But I've heard of things having that. Yeah, how about that, Like it's a six hundred dollars farming and you're not able to use the footage? Is you're

the criminal? Absolutely? You know. I thought I thought a lot of players upset about Michael Jordan's document and every saying that there's certain things that happened that you're not supposed to tell publicly. So I would guess that, especially in this case when everyone is in Orlando, there's gotta be some type of code of silence. Yeah, definitely gonna be a code of silence. You're gonna be quarantined. But the married guys are with their significant others, in their kids.

They're enjoying Disney in this big resort to and we got it to ourselves. They're in heaven. But the single guys, they still have their black car. They don't figure a way. Question about that, Doctord y'all have Last Dance fatigue because y'all talked about that for at least two months. No way, I can watch another ten episodes. I can watch ten. I can watch ten episodes of him at the Wizards. Everyone look forward to say night. It was true. It

was It was like true appointment viewing. What did you think of how they depicted Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant. Here's something I want everybody to get from Last Dance. Gary Cross one of the greatest general managers of all time. Scottie Pippen one of the top fifty players of all time. Horace Grant won three championships and one of the greatest pot fours ever doing in the Bulls uniform. All of

those gentlemen were unhappy about the last days. If I Scott pay but I should be at to walk around with my chest out with my six rings on and celebrate that. But instead they showed so many of his works, like all great stories do. It's like he can't even be happy, and so I got from it. It's sad that they had so much success and they not even cool with each other. Scott and Michael ne Goo clearly

Charlomay dog. He wouldn't even on the team in ninety four where he didn't go in the game against the Bulls, I mean against the Knicks. M J won't even on his blot. They don't have to show that protect documentaries and books like m J wasn't even on that. I that's your man. There's certain things that you just not all right. You know what. I adn't playing that year, the miss free throw at ADM. We just playing against them, Like I forgot about that. I'm the game. I forgot

I was, you know. So they did show Michael show you know and maybe appreciate the last dance so much though you realized that it was oftentimes the Bulls didn't have the best team. Y'all had a better d So it made me appreciate the journey even more. See, like everybody when you count rings, it's like he got six and got six a dps And people just assumed that they just swept all the way through and was unchallenged

the entire time. We was beating them about thirteen in game seven, and I looked back at the documentary as everybody celebrating MJ. He to go, of course, we better celebrate MJ. I'm looking at him. I'm like, this dude had a pop belly, was smoking a cigar in the locker room. They smoking on the plane. We should have beat them, I think so. To your point is exactly right. He willed them to get it done sometimes even when they weren't for the best squad, and that was definitely

one of those. Shoot. But Jayleen, I want to talk you about the Pistons, Drake, how come to two thousand four Pistons who upset the Laker's team don't get spoken about like that because they came along in an era of dominant dynasties from two thousand to two thousand and ten. Shaq Kobe Tim Duncan took all of the rings like MJ did in the nineties. But if you look from two thousand and eleven two now Lebron does have his three,

but so the Steph Kauai has two. So like different players now that are great are also getting the chance to make their mark. And so that's why our Detroit Pistons bad boys too. Thank you for giving them love. Chauncey Rill big Ben should be in the Hall of Fame. Rashid Threes and seven foot talk jay Shawn Prince got when she was getting texts. I was watching the n Y a player in the league. I was like, I wish every time a player got a tech the money

stayed in the hood. I actually pitched that to the league. What happens to that tech money he played with? Destroy if they get a tech at the end of the year, it's three hundred and fifty thousand dollars work for checks when they should be doing this, going different places and showing young people look at all of these clips and meet getting texts. This is how you deal with your angle managers. Man, this is how you deal with your social issues at work. Here's a big blank check works well.

Thank you guys for joining us. Brother, We appreciate y'all for checking in the old into Kobe, appreciate the big fans of this show. To the honor to be on the Breakfast Club. It is an honor to be on a Breakfast Club. Man. We love y'all show we talk about all the time. Thank you so much. Check us out every day at four pm on ESPN. And when Jacobe was growing up in Amurs, Massachusetts, he never would have thought he'd be on the Breakfast Club. It's Jaialen

and Jacobe. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, this is just oh Gosport. Yes, So Noah forty should be from Ovo actually had some things to say the Rolling Stone about Push the Tea and his story of Addidan. Now, just to give you guys a reminder, here's what push your t had to say. And this this song to drake over your forty hunched over like how much timing

got that man? Now forty did an interview with Rolling Stone where he replied and said, I guess all I'll say is that was just a different thing for me, different than a bar that he gets off. No real comment. I made my comment. It was National MS Awareness Day. Ultimately, Ultimately, I like turning things into positive situations or brightest eyes, and if that brings awareness to my disease on a bigger level, I was happy about that. That's what I used it for. He said that, ultimately is a good

thing for me. I like that transaction we had from that perspective. I'm very vocal about it. But he said that he did think it crossed the line. He said that was something different than are so he said, that's cool. I barely know that guy, Well, no disrespect to forty, salute to him. But you know, that is what a

disc bar sounds like in America. Now, the Canadian bars might be a little light, so you might not be used to that kind of smoke, But that good old Virginiae smoke in a dish record, that's what it sounds like. So it's supposed to go too far. It's supposed to hurt your feelings, it's supposed to pish you off. That was the point. Yeah, I feel him though. Man, if you know anybody who has ms, it is such a difficult thing to have to deal with, like and it's

not anything that anybody can help. So that's just you know, I get it. It is a battle, you know, it's kind of what are the rules in the battle? Like we've seen people go too far? And you know, what are what are the rules? What is too far? What can I say? What can I say? You know, it's kind of difficult, that's the whole point of the battle. I want to hurt you mentally, I want to hurt you emotionally. Push. You knew what he was doing, push push.

It took something that he knew. Probably bothers forty and hit him with it. That's off it is, but that's battle rapp Have you ever listened to Battle Rappers? Well, yeah, of course, I just you know, and forty wasn't really part of that beef. You know what I'm saying. It ain't like he was going back and forth. So I get it. Sometimes you gotta catch you scraves. When I'm shooting, I'm shooting at the whole O veel, somebody gonna get hit, all right now, Tory Lanes versus Spectacular, this was a

beef we didn't anticipate happening. So apparently this is how it all started on social media of course. Now they started with Tory Lane saying to Akon, so what y'all telling me is Acon gave the locked up remixample to someone else and not me. I'm going back to Batman and Spectacular responded and said, you should have just stole it like grind on me in your body? Why stop now? Just keeping it two virgils, And then Tory Lanes responded, stole what Actually, I bought the rights from whoever signed

you and publishes your music. But I guess you weren't a part of that conversation. Go staring someone's eyes and rub on someone's dighs and leave me out of this mone good night. My brother did somebody else and look, that was the same thing, and they said, no, that was the same It was the same story. But it's more to the story. Now. That's all you hear is rubbing on dis out of everything else you hear hood you hit mad and rubbing on dives. Look ahead, Ye

well here is spectacular breaking down what happened. When I talked about stilling my record. I'm talking about sampling my record. You put out ground on me, not even hauling at me, after we was already having conversations, and then you put out yes, sir, your body and you literally called me on the phone. You talked to me, bro and asked me, can I get on the record for you? I couldn't make it because I was on tour. You know I was on tour. Bro, You can't at my meet and greet, Bro.

And the first thing you said to me was you're still mad at me. Huh, I'll just pay you back that money. Did you know what you did? Bro? We did a record together and you just ran off on me. You got my record snaps down and everything, Bro, and you still to this day never made that right. Come on, Spectacle, you got better things to do, man, go find some cash. And I was behind the cat memes. Spectacular went on to explain that he still did do some clearances for Tory.

Here's what he said. And then still after that, I still cleared yourself for you. Like I said, I own my masters, can't and get clear without me giving the green light. Bro, But I supported you even though you did me wrong. You know exactly what's going on, and nobody ain't ever know that story that was years ago, bro into now it's because you're capping. So I gotta

say something now. Tory Lanes did clapp back to let him know that he did get his paperwork correct, and he actually provided receipts to show that he got the clearance for the record and that he paid for it. The writers were paid and all of that. Yeah, Tory Lanes, he did it diligent. Like I said, if it comes out and it's on streaming service, nine times out of ten they had to do the proper paperwork. No label is gonna let anything go without the proper paperwork being done.

So it looks like Tory Lane cleared that record's a silly thing to be going back and forth. Yea silly right now it is. I don't have time. I'm on my trampoline, all right now, Donald Trump, his only liked tweet is about Insecure, and everybody's really confused and felt. I don't know if he watches Insecure and really meant to go ahead and like an Insecure tweet, but or if you know how sometimes you like something by an accident. I do that all the time. I know that, and

I follow tweet now the like by accident. Now the tweet that he liked is this is how I wanted tonight's episode of Insecure to end, Damn Molly. And so Donald Trump like that. I told listen, I told Von Org. People is mad at Molly. Even Donald Trump was pissed. Yeah, he's gonna get that. He's gonna try to get that black What were you gonna see him watching all types of stuff? Now, Donald Trump watched Insecure the one tweet like now, he said, Ray responded, what the F is this?

So that was her response to finding out And yeah, a lot of people were confused about that. All right. Matt Burns is saying that some NBA players say they're not going to be comfortable playing until racial injustice is a dressed. And here is what Matt Barnes says. Some

guys have said from the Lakers and the Clippers. Snoop hit me the other day too, talking about it because I talked to a few guys not to mention no names, and he said he had talked to a couple of guys from the Lakers and the Clippers, and you know there's some whispers about, you know, some teams not being comfortable. Some guys want to play, some guys don't want to play,

all right. I feel that. You know, it's hard to work for an organization when you feel like they don't address certain things that really affect you directly, and you make those organizations X amount of dollars, you know what I like. And I know y'all know I work with the Brooklyn Nets and the Barclays and the New York Liberty. But Josie, who is on the Brooklyn That's governing team, I guess that's what they call it. He said. In Brooklyn. The Plaza at Flatbush in Atlantic has become a place

for people to assemble and have their voice heard. And when you see a lot of people are protesting in Brooklyn, it is right outside the Barclays, he said. If it continues to serve as a place where everyone from our community, from residents to businesses to police alike, gathered peacefully to listen to each other and find common ground, then it's good with me. So he's all for it. And I like that type of energy for people. So, you know, shout out to the Brooklyn Nets and the New York

Liberty and the Barclays. All right, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now, Charlomage, whore you giving that donkey too? We need Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and all those white members of Congress who decided to can't take Clough and Neil yesterday to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. All right, I'll get into that. We'll get into that next. Keep

a lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the God we all the Breakfast Club. And now if you just joined us, we've been talking about defunding the police, and we're asking what were your thoughts. Yeah, it was three people who answered this question yesterday, well before, because Nancy Pelosi got asked it, but she chose not to answer. Can we play Donald Trump when he was asked about defunding the police.

There won't be defunding. There won't be dismantling of our police. Out of them are great, great people, and they've done jobs that are record setting. So our crime statistics are at a level that they haven't been at. And can we play Joe Biden when he was asked about the funding the police. No, I don't support defunding the police.

I support conditioning federal aid the police based on whether or not they meet certain basic standards of decency, on honorableness, and in fact are able to demonstrate they can protect the community and everybody in the Canada. And we place in the ta Kamala Harris when she was asked about

the funding the police. We have confused the idea that to achieve safety, you put more cops on the street, instead of understanding to achieve safe and healthy communities, you put more resources into the public education system of those communities, into affordable housing, into homeownership, into access to capital for small businesses, access to healthcare, regardless of how much money people have. That's how you achieve safe and healthy communities.

And so we really do need to understand and reimagine what and how we can actually make and help make communities safe. One of those people answered the question correctly. Okay, and that person is not running for president, all right, but she needs to be on somebody's ticket because that's how you answer that question. Don't let Donald Trump, are Joe Biden, or anyone else make you think the funding the police is a bad thing. They are trying to Jedi mind trick us. They got us thinking that the

funding the police is disbanding the police, abolishing the police. No, the funding the police is simply taking tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars sometimes billions of dollars out of police budgets and putting that money back into the hood, pouring disenfranchise communities, investing schools, hospitals for better healthcare, housing, better food in the hood, investing social services for mental health, job training programs, teach kids, trades, so many different grams,

direct centers, absolutely, so many different things that the community needs. But billion dollars a year. It's it's a lot of money. And I still knows. I know you said you don't want to see, but I want to see where they're spending this money before this, where are they Where are they spending this money, because they've gotta be some crooked ish going on. That's what I'm assuming six billion dollars because them officers ain't rich. Them officers ain't bawling, you

know what I'm saying. And listen when you talk about this man less systemic racism, when you talk about descrowing the mechanism of white supremacy, not funding the hood, not funding the black community is part of that. The whole point of systemic racism, I keep telling y'all is the marginalized black people. That's why you shouldn't trust anyone who's against the funding the police, because they are upholding systemic racism. Not to mention, how tone deaf can you be if

you're Joe Biden. Remember the young lady who called up here earlier and said she's been in the streets protesting, and you know, the young people are calling for the funding of the police, so they they're all for investing in the communities, that's why aren't you listening to the people. People here Joe Biden saying the same thing as Donald Trump, and they like f both of them. I'm staying home in November style, Like, I don't care if you have

to change the phrasing. Instead of saying to fund the police, say divest and invest divest from you know, police budgets, to invest in the people. Say that whatever, whatever makes you feel better. But the funding the police is not a bad thing. People, well police, it's not abolishing the police. Correct. In New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio did pledge for the first time to cut the police funding in

the city. So he did say that we're going to shift funding the youth services to social services, and that will happen literally in the course of the next three weeks. But he said he hasn't gone into detail yet because they're still negotiating and figuring out what makes sense. Yeah, and now correct me if I'm wrong, because now I read this yesterday and it said that in twenty twenty one they're gonna cut the fiscal budget. But part of cutting the budget is not just cutting the police budget,

is cutting education and housing. That makes no sense to me cut the police budget and take that money and put it into education and housing. He said, they're gonna shift that funding. So will see what happens, because, like you said, they're in negotiations. So once they present what they're doing with that budget them, we'll be able to speak on it. Yeah, what we're realizing it is that you know, they make money and move money when they

need money to be moved. You know, you talk about six billion dollars, like I want to know for the last couple of years, where were these billions of dollars going. And not only that, we see them just throw a trillion dollars into the economy. So when the money is needed, they get it. So you don't think kids need books, and kids need laptops, and kids need better schooling and teachers need more money. And rec centers that they've been closing down. They're saying that there's so many kids on

the streets with nothing to do. Well, there's no rec centers around. There's nowhere for these kids to go. They can't play basketball, they can't play organized sports, they can't learn how to do things in tech, or to learn how to invest or get their mental health right. So let's go to the phone. Don't invest in the hood. They don't invest in black and brown communities simply because they don't want to. But we do have some police officers on the line. Eight hundred five eight five one

oh five one. Hello, who's this? Are you doing this? His officer? Body of North Carolina? Hey, officer's happening in my brother? How you knowing? How y'are doing Saloma envy? How y'are doing angel? How you're doing to us? Let's talk about the fund of the police. Go ahead, let's talk about it. Okay, Well, first of all, the George Floyd situation, that is not police officer. That is not what we're trained to do. That is none of our tactics.

That is not what we're supposed to do. So that was just basically somebody that's on the outside of that's not a respectable officer. That is a that is a gang member, that's a true gang member. True, you know, that is not what we're supposed to do as an officer. First of all, thinking of all about the fund of

the police, I am for it because of me. I live in North Carolina, a small community which you know is poverty basically and I want to see my community upbring with more, you know, churches built more, or mental health facilities built more, job training. We just need more in my community as as a whole. And we hold eighty officers, which is a two million dollars budget we have, and I'm only making, you know, around eighteen dollars an hour.

So where's the rest of them? What I'm saying, we got a two million dollar budget, now that's all I'm saying. We we with our vehicles. We're still driving Crown vict and we may have a Dodge Charter or two. So where's our money going. It's not going it's not going in a new equipment we can use on the job. So where's that going? Somebody please make me? And that's and that's going on all across the country. It's not like police officers are making like these these crazy amounts

of money. It's not like all of y'all driving camaros and toils. You got the Crown Victor, the Crown Victorious that I do with one hundred and fifty thousand miles on it. God damn man, and appreciate you all right. He has questions. He has questions too, Officers the years that's what I'm talking about. Salute the officer, Brody man. It's such a simple concept. Divevest from police budgets to invest into people. We're not talking about abolishing police or

disbanding police. We're talking about defunding. That's it. They make stupid money. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Let's talk more. We're talking to funding police. What are your thoughts? It is the breakfast club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast club. Now if he just joined us, We're talking about defunding the police and what are your thoughts. We have a couple of officers on the line. Hello,

who's this? Hi? This is Quincy. Hey, Quincy, what are you calling from? I am calling from Long Allen, but I'm a Brooklyn nabor Any police officer. Okay, how long you've been on the job? Ye? Excuse me? How long you've been on the job? Only sixteen years? Wow, that's talk us about the fund of the police. What are you what are your thoughts? Well, first of all, I grew up in Canarsi in Brownsville, so up in those areas and working in those areas. The first thing I

agree with Envy. I don't know if it's envy your sundman, but you have stated about defunding NYPD. We're underpaid, but that's a mistake. We're struggling with the most underpaid police department and we work the hardest second and with a six billion dollar budget exactly, and we're not getting the money. So please don't mistake that. Now. What they need to do is dismantle the NYPD. They need to start from scratch, start her love working on. They're working on old school

policies and an old school way of thinking. They still got that mentality. It's a it's a white boy world period. We're gonna We're gonna call it what it is, and I deal with it as well. But in restments to the youth, there have to be more hands on. A man dated um one pitt or a police academy training twice a year is not going to cut it. They have to go into the community. You have to work with you have to work with the people. And I'm

not saying three or four officers are precinct. Okay, if that's full and under the community of fagures or the NFL program. It is not going to cut it. I mean every officer and I mean even when they're in your taddy didn't need to go out. That's not nothing that's ever been implemented. Right, I agree with that. I've always felt like that. More more, my mother was a police officer as well. You know, they had those four grams where else you knew the officer. We met Ruth

some of those days on the first name basis. Absolutely no longer like that. And you gotta remember now, I have two black guns. They're twenty twenty seven. These are the police officer you're dealing with, and most of them are from Long Island. Okay, so you're working with kids, right, let me ask you a question. You know when my dad, when my dad was an officer, they made you stay in the boroughs for a couple of years and they even gave you, i think a discount on your pension

on taxes and things like that. Do they still have that now where you have to stay in the boroughs to say you live in Long Island? Absolutely not, absolutely not. I mean that's a that's a that's old school. That's when my mother came on as well, you know, and if you got to remember, there's a lot of people in the city that are not taking the exam. I spoke to a kid one day off a few years ago at dinner. He was a waiter. I commenced him. I was like, take the test. You're a young black kid.

We do more people that look like us. Seeing him a few years he's in a plane cloch program. He was like, it was because of you, and it actually made me feel real good despite my personal belief with the department. And I also tell people that a lot of officers don't make a lot of money, so they rely on overtime and take a lot of overtime to

compensate for the money that's needed. So that's why a lot of officers do so much overtime because they're not getting paid that much, so they need that overtime to make sure they could take care of their family. Yeah. Sure, No, I was just gonna say, you know, I agree with everything that you're saying, especially about having people from the

community athletice officers. But the problem I have is that the reason I believe in defunding the police so strongly, it is because more police officers on the street won't reduce crime more opportunity in these communities. Well, when you start investing into the schools and the hospitals and job training programs, and invest in social services for mental health, and you invest in trades, when you provide these people in the hood with more opportunities, crime is automatically gonna

go down. So it makes everybody's life easier, police and citizens of the community. Yes, but that's an overall problem for the city. We're in a deficit right now, so of course those programs for those I don't mind take the money if you defunded certain things for us and you allocate it, because that will help our problem. The majority of our problems are dealing with people with mental health. That's the bulk of the day. Yeah, but thank you so much for calling it, and be safe out there. Please.

Let's deal moral to the story. The moral of the story is, don't let Donald Trump or anyone else make you think defunding the police is a bad thing. Okay, Defunding the police is literally just taking money from the police department and investing it back into the schools, hospitals, better food in the hood, social services for mental health.

You heard what the young lady just said just now, majority of that day is officers dealing with people with mental health issues, job training programs, teach kids trades, bring back after school programs, rexenters. You have to make an investment into your community, and it's not going to these police officers pockets anyway. So what's the problem. Who's getting

this money? Six billion dollars for the NYPD? Come on, man, clearly you can say, you can see what's been happening isn't working, and that's why these protests are happening, and that's why there's police brutality at protests against police brutality. Yeah, the whole point of systemic racism is the marginalized black people. That's why people are against the funding of the police, because how dare they take money and actually fund the hood with it. You can't fund you. I don't mean

to say the N word. Can't fund you Black folks, just speaking like how the white man would speak when they're talking about y'all. Okay, talking about it, all right, all right, now we got rumors of the way, Well, let's talk about it. Let's about black LGBTQ, right, and Billy Porter is speaking up for the black LGBTQ community and calling out Black Lives Matter movement for not being more inclusive of them. All right, we'll get into that next.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is the rule of Report with Angela Ye. Well. Billy Porter has been critical of people in the black community who have not prioritized the well being of those who are not straight and cist gender as well. Here's what he had to say, as a black queer man in America, my basic human rights have been up for legislation every

single day from all sides. And by that I mean that the black community's relationship, but the LGBTQ plus community is appalling and eerily similar to that of white supremacists versus Black folk. You cannot fact our demands of equality to be met with any real legislative policy and change when y'all turn around and inflict the same kind of hate and oppression on us. I know you guys probably saw this video of Ayannador. She's a black trans women

in Minneapolis, and they were beating her. She had to actually go hide behind the counter in the store and then get taken into the back so they wouldn't beat her up. For being as a black trans woman, and so he was discussing that as well. There's the thing, Billy Porter, I gotta disagree. Black people not treat gay people like white supremacists treat black people. White supremacists treat

gay people like white supremacists treat everybody. Like all of the rights that the LGBT community have have fought for are fighting for. Y'all were fighting the black community for that. That was happening in courtrooms, You're fighting civil rights in congress, marriage equality, that was a government issue, the same government that black people fight on a daily basis. White supremacy

is is is a threat to all of us. Okay, same sex marriage, you know, gaye serving in the military, gage fighting to have better discrimination laws, you know in the states that they live in. Like that fight wasn't against black people. That was against the same old white man that's oppressing all of us. So don't don't say that, you know, black people treat you like white supremacists. That's

a scratch. Can we be more tolerant of gay people in our community, Absolutely, But to compare black people to white supremacists, no, no way. I mean, that's a difficult comparison. But I do agree that people do have to be more inclusive when it comes to the LGBTQ plus community, and I still do see a lot of hatred toward them.

So I think that's the message. Comparisons, But to comparison to white supremacists, Like black people don't have no system that we control that marginalizes people, that keeps people from you know, being married if they want to, that keeps gay people out of the military, like that, that's not us, Like, don't compare, don't come he had a black community to the white supremacist Billy Jesus Christ. That's a re all right. Now.

Evelyn Lozada has defended her ex fiance, Carl Crawford. She has a time with him, you know, and she spoke out because people were saying that she too was a victim of domestic violence during the time that she was with him, and she got very emotional discussing co parenting. But she also wanted to clear up that he did not ever attack her. So I refuse to sit here and allow the world or anybody to change my story and my truth. By no means am I trying to

discredit anyone else's story. I'm just talking about my personal experience because I was engaged to be married to this man. I was with him for four years, and for any blogger or reporter to switch up the story as to why we broke up, I think is disgusting. Yeah, she just stated she's never been attacked by him, and she's never seen that person at the news has been reportant daddy right right, She's she said, he's never been violent,

he's never been threatening. They have a positive relationship and they do have a son together, so she wants to make sure and she said she hates that she has to address this right now, but she doesn't want people to say that that was her story also because it's not. That wasn't her experience, all right. Rihanna, Billy Eilish and

Arianna Grande have joined musicians who are petitioning. They're calling for the New York police reform and in particular, one of the laws that they want to reform is the New York States Civil Rights Law fifty A. And that law, and you guys might have been hearing a lot about this keeps police personnel files confidential, so if there's any misconduct anything like that, they are confidential and not subject to inspection or review unless you know, the court says

that they need to go ahead and release that by a lawful court order, so what they want to do, and I agree with this. People should be able to see if an officer has been disciplined multiple times, those records should be available for the public, because I think that would be really helpful in police officers knowing that their bad behavior will be on display, or even complaints like you know we you know, Ye and I had a problem with the same officer at different times. I'll

be honest with you. I didn't make a complaint because I just didn't. I didn't feel like it would do anything. And Ye didn't straight to the Civilian Complaints Review Board and you go online, you follow a complaint, but then after that you have to still go in and you have to do some type of mediation. And I did all of that, but I'm like, what happens after that?

You know what I'm saying. Even if and the woman who did our mediation did side with me and feel that he was being overly aggressive even in that hearing that we had together, but then what happens. No, No,

I want that to be display. Yeah, I mean what job doesn't have that though, Even if you end up getting fired, they will go to your HR record quick, yeah, record this, this, this, this, this, he had to complaint about this, this, and this should be the same for the police, and it should happened before you get fired. It should be on display so that you know if

you've done X amount of things. I don't want to see police officers that had seventy cases of being overly aggressive and whatever it is that they did, and all these complaints against them, and then they're still on the police force. You know what I mean. That's ridiculous. All right, Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your room of report. All right, thank you, miss Ye. Now shout out to revote. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice mixes

up next, get your requesting. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club from the King's Run. We're kicking it with Sean Jenkins and Sharon Mussali. Thank you so much, Thank you for having us, thank you for joining us so explaining to people what the King's Run is.

The Kings Run is a community organization. In the overall initiative, it's a change the narrative and imagery of how black men and brown men in this country are being portrayed overalls to fight systemic racism, systemic injustice against us be a continuum of a call of action. We went from anywhere from peaceful protests to being constantly involved in the social narrative of political discourse. We've had four initiatives so far.

First initiative with the initiatively the King's Running. It was an immediate response to a moder our brief case in situation where we did a simple two point three miles the point of reference that in two days turned around one hundred runners. In that moment, those one hundred runners did a video monologue about how racism impacts them, and

that's just a brief topic there. They may moved into our Legacy project, which is a deer and heartfelt project to me because if a father two amazing daughters, and it's basically about you helping children voice their opinions about fighting against racism. And we had like five phrases that were pretty poignant, punchy that made sure we got the attention of the entire world. We went from anywhere from twenty four thousand to upwards of like twenty seven thousand

impressions in twenty four hours. We've had reached anywhere from United States all the way to India that includes Russia, Ireland. We've had people submitting posts. If you check out the Legacy Practical Legacy project hashtag, it is sitting right there and you can see all of the imprints of the people involved. We are being active in the Pride initiative.

You know, the gay and trance community definitely face the same issues that black and brown community face, so we actually want to be a voice to share and help them push forward through this initiative. But the project is most pointed right now is how we use our allies and their privilege to help us change the narrative. Here we completely wear no matter how vocal we are, no matter how violent or aggressive or assertive, if our allies are not at the conversation or our allies are not

participating in the narrative, we can have no change. So the next campaign will be how do you use your privilege? And that's probably our most point of campaign that we're gonna land with I'm gonna let my co founder lead into some of the more detailed matrix. Yeah, I mean, obviously I represent allies, right, and so in thinking about how one brings in these other communities, you know, be as a woman, shared experiences obviously as black men in

some similar ways. They even talked about them at our very you know, the idea of running and how women feel predatory behavior against them as running, drawing these through lines making it really important to get that out there as well. And so really it's just enfranchising other communities similar to my own to get involved because without it, I think we're not going to make change. Without sort of repeated efforts over a long period of time, it's

not going to happen. Well, Sean, the Kings run. The motto is that y'all are committed to changing the false narrative around black men in America. Why do you think there's a false narrative to begin with? Oh, I mean it's the easy we can use media And I'm not trying to loop you guys into that, and it's just but I mean it's easier. It's so easier that media uses the false hators. Right, there's always a highlight of a young man with his pants down behind his book. Right,

that's the easiest social stigma they used. But they never show the gentleman who have their pants up, and never show us with suits on. They never show us actually having a conversation as a pure higher elevation. Every single sound bite they receive is always a gentleman or a woman who doesn't have the highest degree of education. So they're able to spin it in a way that makes us proceed as we lack the education in the bandwidth

to actually have these conversations, so challenging. That so always imagery that we're using. Imagery is super important now that we can't go out because of COVID, the constant imagery. Right, it's a social protests providing images that people have never seen on the internet, super important images of positive black men, images of positive fatherhood, images of positive leadership roles versus the easy play of going to negative because you know,

negative seals, negative seal sound bites, negative seals impressions. Negative is easy to sell. Positivity doesn't sell. You know, you've describing the organization, y'all made it clear that you aren't different. Why is it important to highlight that you aren't different because we just use who we are. Like so many people are armchair quarterbacks, armchairs, socialists or social activists, right, they quick to be reactive and saying you should have

done this, you should have done that. But we actually just use our voice. We stood up, We use our community, we use our social networks, and we said, hey, I want to be active in this conversation. I need to be active in this conversation. You me, the woman down the block, they can do exactly what we're doing. We're not politicians, we're not stars, we're not sports celebrities. We're just a normal the citizens in the United States who are concerned and we want to use our posts on

that platform. So we don't consider ourselves any different. On my day to day, I don't consider myself different. I just happen to have the bravery to push forward the previous to jump off the bridge. How can people who want to donate and support, how can they support you guys? Guy? Yeah, So, I mean obviously find us out there on the internet and social media, King hyphen run dot com all the

information that is there. We're linking right now for donations to color Change for the moment, the time being we will start doing things for the organization itself, and then at the King's Run on Instagram obviously you can see all of our movement there as well. I would start there at contact us, skip us your email, and we're rolling from there. It's been a really an amazing tool for us and developing this community. Sharon. I knew he

was going to answer the money question. Yeah, when they have two founders, right, Absolutely, you guys for joining us many morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the Gay, we all the breakfast club. Now we got to shout out to Jalen and Jacobe for joining us this morning

of course from ESPN. Yeah, Man, appreciate those brothers because they give you a sense of normalstly every day, like during this whole quarantine, turning on ESPN, even if they ain't talking about nothing to find in a whole bunch of different ways to talk about about stuff we don't

care about. I still appreciate them just being on TV man saluting, and I appreciate that they're for thirties they've been doing Obviously we love the one on Michael Jordan, but there's a lot of other programs They just did Lance Armstrong, they did Bruce Lee. They had Mark maguire and Sammy Sosa coming up, so it's pretty interesting. All right, all right, well Sharlman, you got a positive note, yes man, This positive note is coming from ear Tote. I love

Echart Tole. He writes a lot of great books. And this book is called a New Earth Awakening to your life's purpose. And this is a quote from Echar Totle. Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need, because this is the experience you're having at the moment you finish it, y'all due
