Angela is al Shalomi was popping fast to the planet. Is Tuesday's happening? Good morning, Rono? What's up to RNA? What it up going? Going? Is on? Much was going on with you? Man? How is your little birthday vacation? I mean it was good, you know.

I'm actually I'm actually still in South Carolina. I've been in South Carolina since uh since man, what the twenties, the twenty six or something like that. Because my daughter's born days on the twenty seven. So we came down here on the twenty six. Little did I know that South Carolina was gonna become a coronavirus hotspot? Right, what's in that short period of time? But it's okay. Where did you Did you drive or did you fly? No? I actually flew and I hadn't been on a plane

in a long time. And I'm gonna tell you something, man, uh dropping a clues box with Jet Blue. Jet Blue is always clean, but boy, if they weren't super clean on the day I flew up. They got the socially distanced flights, so you know, nobody can be in the middle seats. So it was I mean it was it was cool. Yeah, I haven't I haven't flown yet. I still still a little nervous about flying. So I've been staying in my assholeme. I haven't left anywhere. There's still

last a couple of days. You know. I just you know what I did. I bought a bike. I've been riding. I've been bike riding. I've been doing about, you know, ten to fifteen miles a day, just riding. And it's been pretty cool. You with your little tights on. You know what I'm saying. I was like, you couldn't wait to put those little biker shorts ontle biker shorts with the tights and the little the little drive fit shirt. Yeah,

let me tell you. So. When I bought the bike, I started riding like, hey, okay, I'm gonna ride a bike, not a problem. And I didn't realize that when you ride a bike pause pause, pause, that your ass hurts, like the seat really hurt your ass, like like hurt, hurt, like like hurt took you back to your old days when you first struggling to get on shut up. So I had to. I had to. I used to make fun of people when I wouldn't see where these these

biker shorts, of these biker pass. But now I understand that this Gael actually in the past that gives you an extra cushion. So when you ride it, O man, Okay, I see we're picking up right where we left off, jailing your ass, ask Burton, tell me more right now, we're I'm intrigued. Now you're intrigue. Breakfast. We haven't even had breakfast and I'm already intrigue. Tell me more. So I had to make sure I had these jail pants to make sure my ass to be alight when I

ride for long periods of time. So that's what I will. Seeing how it works, you know. Shout out to everybody, all the bottoms of the world that have to use jail because when they ride for long periods of time, it hurts without it dropping the clues bombs for all the bottoms this morning, okay, representing all people here on this show, right, everybody has a voice. Bottoms can be heard too. Okay, all right, well, let's get the show

cracking front page. It's what we're talking about. Charlomagne. I don't know. I just got it, said, I just I just got here a little bit. We'll figure it out. I have no idea what we're doing. We'll figure it out. We'll tell you about Blackout twenty Blackout Day twenty twenty. We'll tell you about that. So don't move. It's to Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in

some front page news. Let's start with some sports. Now. The Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes signs the most lucrative deal in sports history, a ten year extension, were four hundred and fifty million dollars. What's the guarantee though, because you know the thing about those NFL contracts, they'd be having those big ass numbers, but you know a lot of it don't be guaranteed. Most of the time. Those guys don't even see all of that money. Now, I'm sure

Patrick Mahomes got paid, but what's the guaranteed number. I mean, we don't know. I mean, he's so important to that the Chiefs team. I'm sure he got a lot of that guaranteed. I'm almost positive now would I would hope so I know, I saw like an injury clause. If he gets injured, he gets like a guarantee hundred and forty million or something like that if I read it correctly. But yeah, I would love to know what the guarantee is on all of that money. But drop on a

clues bond for that beige young man absolutely deserves it now. Also, we've been talking about this for a long time, talking about some of these great basketball players, an athletes of football players going to an HBCU. I believe the young man's name is mccare maker. He announced that he would be attending Howard university, which is a huge shock. He's the number sixteen recruiting the country according to ESPN Class one hundred, so this would be huge what he's doing

for an HBCU. So we'll see how that plays out. Congratulations to him and congratulations to Howard University. Yeah. I love that. I've been seeing a lot of a lot of the young athletes that if they want to go to HBCUs and look, man, whether you even go just for a year, you know, two years, whatever, it is, the shot in the arm that you will give the

economy of an HBCU will be everything. So if you're trying to figure out ways that you can help your people and help your community, that is definitely one of them. If you're a young athlete who goes to an HBCU for a year, two absolutely. Yeah. I played against a young man named Derek Whitehead. He actually played on my son's team a couple of years ago and was visiting my son and I played him a one on one. He's fifteen, he's about six seven, and I say he

dunked on me about four times. Dunked me four times, age fifteen, and there was nothing I can do. I could I tried to back him down and bully him. There was there was nothing I can do eat. He bullied the hell out of it. He said he dunked on you at age fifteen, as if you're not forty nine forty nine. He's posted dunk on you four times at the age of fifteen, when you're forty nine. I'm not forty nine. That's one and two fifteen years old.

Sixty seven. Yeah, listen to what you're explaining. He's sixteen years old, he's sixty seven, okay, and you're forty nine years old and you're five forty nine. How do you think that's going to turn out? Dunk on you I'm going in forty nine and fifteen to six seven is ridiculous. But anyway, good luck to him as well. And lastly, it says Donald Trump isn't thrilled that the Redskins and the Indians may change the name. He put this tweet

out they named teams out of strength, not weakness. But now to Washington, Redskins in Cleveland, Indians, two hurting sports franchises look like they're going to be changing their names in order to be politically correct. Indians like Elizabeth Warren must be very angry right now, he's concerned about all of the wrong things. Okay, you need to look around at your country and realize that your country is still in the pandemic and ignoring coronavirus is not gonna make

it go away. And that's why cases is spiking up everywhere. Okay, he's always worried about the wrong things. He should not be concerned what any NFL team's name is. He's got to stop backing like a regular Twitter in word, bro. Yeah, he just has to like he's the president of the United States of America to say that he needed to be focusing on more important things as an understatement, right and also July seventh, that's saying we're calling it Blackout

Day twenty twenty. Now. The objectives of Blackout date twenty twenties to force politicians and the business world to end their racist policies and practices that have led to deaths of black Americans. So they're saying Black Americans spent more than a trillion dollars or consumer goods in twenty eighteen alone, So don't spend any money with any store, and if you have to make sure it's a black business, that's July seventh, today, Blackout Day twenty twenty. That's how I

move every day in my life. You know, if I can spend my money with a black owned company, that's what I'm always looking for first. But it's just the same thing as when everybody was putting the black squares on on Instagram. It's not the same thing, isn't. No, I don't know, it's not the same thing. And I don't know how this was created. But everybody's following along and make sure that theyre's spending any money unless it's

with a black owned business. All right, Well that's your front, very very hard task too, by the way, it's not. It's not as hard as you think. But it just depends on what you're looking for. Depends what you're looking for. Yeah, Killer Mike has an episode of his show Trigger Warning on Netflix. Today is actually a great day to watch that episode to look to see how difficult it is to uh, you know, spend money at just black owned businesses. Yeah, absolutely,

all right, Now get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you're upset you need to vent, call us right now phone line to wide open the number again.

best voice in the game. You know. I'm trying to say that, Like, um, I actually like came the after my dad died, like living in the mob, and I went to like the hood like down here and West Palm. You know what I'm saying. When I was like team and uh, I started listening to Jay Farrell and like now I have a track, you know what, I'm staying on a movie on Amazon Prime, flaming on trade. I'm a I'm a rapper, comedian, impersonationist. But all right it's

palm bleach. Yeah. But here's the real thing I'm trying to say is that, like, you know, nobody can really put their their life into skin color. You know what

I'm saying. Until they're really there. So there's a lot of people that use the fort like Instagram models, and you know what I'm saying, Like sometimes I feel like that like the movement should be like you should have to have something in your life, but that, you know what I'm saying, like old school saying, not like people that like africoming and fishing whole life, like don't even go out their house. And you know what I'm saying, But it's cool. I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna tell

you something. I don't know what you're saying. Nobody you tell me, you know, do you know what I'm saying. I don't know what you're saying? But good morning to you. Hello. Who's this? Hey? My name's Bella. Hey, get it off your chess. Hey. I was talking about a story out in Bloomington, Indiana. It was over courts July where a guy was attempted to be lynched and they caught it on video but they didn't make any arrest there and now, um, you know, now they're looking into it and investigating it

and stuff. But I lived there that the uh that was that all of the white people who with saying they were trying to Lynch, a black person. He was calling for the noose. Yeah, yeah, that's the one. Yeah. I live out here, man, and it is such it's near Indianapolis and Indiana, and it is such like just a white place to live. And it's hard sometimes because nobody,

you know, relates at all. And this is a place where I can't tell you how many times people have been like, come on and hang out with me, come camping with me, and you know, I always tell them no and tell them I don't want to because it's dangerous and they don't see it. And then it's like here it is for everybody to see. But still people attention. I'm gonna I'm gonna give you the same advice I would. I would love to give that young man. I feel like you have to own a legal firearm in America,

especially when you're a black person. I think having a legal firearm is a form of self care. And I wish that young man in that moment had a legal firearm on him to protect himself from from at least what I saw in the video, which was a bunch of white people attacking him telling him go get the noose. Yeah, that's what I kept hearing them call for Absolutely. Yeah, I mean I feel like, you know, had he done that though, had he shot somebody, the police who showed up,

it's the park police. It's not the same police. He would have been pointing their guns at him and stot. You know, it would have been that chail. Yes, but that's no reason for me not to practice my second Amendment right. Absolutely. I still live in America and the Constitution is supposed to protect me, so I have no

problem fighting that win in court. Yeah, I just feel it's it's just one of those things then being out here, being in a place swear, you know, you do what you can to to be active and do what you can and do the right thing and you know, promote social change and all that, but it's just such a whitewashed community that it's just man, it's hard living out here sometimes. Well, thank you, We appreciate you. What what you attempt to do, absolutely, what your what's your privilege

using your privilege to come back prejudice? Well, thank you, all right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, you can hit this up at any time. Now when we come back, we gotta talk Kanye West, all right, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's about this is the rumor report with Angela Yee. It's on the Breakfast Club now. Kanye West says he's running for president right now. He released his

tweet the other day. He says, we must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision, and building our future. I am running for president of the United States. Then he put hashtag twenty twenty vision. I can't even believe this is a story. Kanye has taken absolutely no steps to be president. He hasn't registered with the Federal Election Commission, he hasn't presented a campaign platform. He hasn't elected enough signatures to even get on the

November ballot. He's already missed the deadline to file as an independent candidate in many states. Like I don't even understand why this is a story. And this is why I get so mad at the media, because if you're telling me that this is the most dangerous election ever coming up in November, then guess what? Why are we so easily distracted by things? You know, what would be a story if Kanye actually registered with the Federal Election Commission.

If Kanye actually had a campaign paign platform, if he was actually running for president, this would be a story. This is just a tweet. It's just Kanye talking. He said this a million times before. Why is this even a story? No reason that this should be dominating the headlines. No reason. Yeah, I agree with you. He's not even he's not even doing the necessary steps to even run. But that that's a huge headline. That also Kanye West. People are mad at Kanye West because his company Yeasy,

got millions in federal small business loans. They say that they believe that his business received two to five million dollars and that was the federal government's pandemic Rescue Fund and that's to help save a hundred and six jobs. So people are saying, hey, you're a billionaire, why would you need that money? And there's a lot of small businesses that weren't able to get that money. So people are upset with easy in his company. Those people are

absolutely correct because I was wondering the same thing. If you got if you if you are if you just announced that you are a billionaire and I just know you did you your gap deal. I think that was like a billion dollars deal. Why do you need two to five million dollars? It sounds like Easy is doing good. It sounds like Easy would have the money to pay their employees. And didn't I just hear something about Easy Kanye's building this big ass a state in yifty two

thousand square foot home in Wyoming. It will have a ranch, it'll have a facility to build and to make his sneakers. It'll have all types of things. That's gonna run a few million too. So I just I'm like, don't seem like they're hurting for no money over there. So I don't understand why they would needed two to five million dollars in PPP loans. But hey man, who am I to be in somebody's pockets? I'm just observing like everybody else. Yeah, well,

a NASCAR, it looks like Bubba Wallace. Trump kind of put through a tweet at Bubble Wallace. It seems like Trump has nothing better to do but to throw tweets at everybody. So Donald Trump says, has Bubba Wallace apologize to all those great NASCAR drivers and officials who came to his aide stood by his side, and we're willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out the whole thing was just another hoax. That and flag decision

has caused the lowest ratings ever. Now, if you don't remember, there was a noose on the garage where he would bring his car in for service. The FBI did, I guess They did an investigation, and the FBI concluded that the news had been in the garage stall since October twenty nineteen and US could not have been targeted at Wallace. As a result, they determined no hate crime had been committed. I need you, Donald Trump, to have that same energy

in regards to coronavirus. Why are you ignoring coronavirus? Ignoring a problem does not make it go away. I think we need one of those football teams to name themselves Corona. And that's the only way that Donald Trump will pay Corona any attention, because he seems to really care about what's going on in the sports world, from NASCAR to goddamn football. Yeah. I don't even I don't even give a damn what's going on in NASCAR, Never have, never will. Yeah,

I mean, it's just not my thing. But beats By Drea said, I know you respect to Bubba Wallace, but I just don't care about that. Yeah, I'm not into it either. Beats By Drea Nels He said, well, we'll go into annalysis until later this week, but can but hate cannot win the day. No one should ever be asked to apologize for standing up for what's right. We are proud to welcome Bubba Wallace to the beats By

Drey family. So he just sounded an endorsement deal. They didn't say how much it was worth, but he sounded an endorsement deal with beach By Dre So congratulations to him. Great diversity high dropped on the clues bombs for Bubba Wallace and beach By. I like that synergy, not mad at it. And also over the weeks week in Galen Maxwell, do you know who that is? Yes, she's down with Larry Epstein. I found out out this weekend. I don't think his name is Larry. I think his name is

Jeffrey Epstein. Whatever. Yeah, but that was his girlfriend. So she was arrested over the weekend and now they have twenty four hours of aveilance on her to make sure that she doesn't commit her commit suicide like Jeffrey Epstein did. So she was the one they said, that was involved with bringing these young girls to Jeffrey Epstein. And hopefully she's convicted and she serves life in prison for what she was doing. If you've seen the documentary, you see

exactly what she was doing. It just disgusting and horrible. So they have a twenty four hours of veillance over her to make sure she kills herself. Is that what I heard justsel know, to make sure she doesn't kill herself. They want to watch her to make sure she doesn't kill herself like jeff Free Epstein did. And they believe that she's gonna be telling it all, that she's not gonna hold back, and she's gonna be letting everything go.

Allegedly Donald Trump spent time at their uh their island, and allegedly Bill Clinton did too, so we'll find out all the information if she does actually speak once again. They got twenty four hours sibilance over her to make sure that she absolutely positively does kill herself. We'll see and they have camerastay as well, so we'll get this. We'll be able to see everything. So they want to make sure that she doesn't commit suicide. Let's let's place

this bet. What's the over under on her committing suicide? And I put suicide and air quotes people. What's the over under on her committing suici? I don't think that's gonna happen. They got too many people watching. It's not like the last one. They have too many people watching her. They had a lot of people watching Larry Epstein too, Jeffrey Epstein man, whatever the hell his name is. And that didn't turn out too well. I don't think they would run the same play twice, right, But I don't

see her making it. I don't see her making it to try, my goodness. All right, well that is your rumor report. When we come back, we got front page news. There's been a lot of shootings across the country. Shootings in Atlanta, shootings in New York. Will give you all the details. So don't move as to breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy.

We are the breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news, all right, coronavirus, I remember that, Dewey, come on, just making sure well. The Atlanta mayor Kesha Lance Bottoms has said COVID nineteen has literally hit home. I have had no symptoms and I have tested positives, so she's tested positive for COVID nineteen. Now in Atlanta, cases are up, twenty two hundred new cases in Atlanta. Were you gonna go down? Miami? Miami? Whoever? I can say? Miami cases

are shooting up as well. They're saying that they're gonna stop closing businesses starting this Wednesday, so restaurants, ballrooms, banquet facilities, party venues, gems and fitness centers and short term rentals. Looks like we'll be shutting down because cases are rising. In Texas, cases arising. They're saying that they reported five thousand new cases on Monday, and in Arizona they're saying

the cases passed over one hundred thousand coronavirus cases. So as you can see, coronavirus is starting to spike, So they're starting to shut things right back down. Yeah. In my home state of South Carolina, cases arising too. That's why I'm doing more COVID nineteen no cost testing events all right. I'm actually doing one this Friday and Saturday from ten am to three pm to Tridan Technical College

Thornley Campus, Okay, and in Charleston, South Carolina. So yes, if you're in Challeton, South Carolina, are surrounding areas this weekend and you want to get a no cost COVID nineteen tests, then pull up to the Tridan Technical College, Thornley Campus from ten am to three pm just Friday and Saturday. Okay, telling Charlomagne that God sent you all right. And also, it seems like shooting things have been going

up across the country like so crazy. In New York City, sixty five people were shot in New York City over the Fourth of July weekend. Eighty seven people were shot in Chicago, twenty people were shot and four people killed in Atlanta. So the shootings have been going up like crazy. Yeah. And here's the thing. You can't have all this conversation and discussion about defunding the police, wanting the police our

own communities, but didn't have things like this happened. I saw last night TI posted a video from the brother Paulay, and if you watch the video, I agree with you know, damn near everything he said. When you have people committing these kinds of crimes, you know, when children are the prominent victims of gun violence. Then policing the community means holding the perpetrators of these crimes accountable. That means all that, no snitching, bs, y'all beyond that's got to be out

the window. And Paulay even said we need, you know, street justice. I'm not mad at that neither. But the moral of the story is accountability. Okay, accountability however you see fit the whole people accountable for these crimes. Whether it's calling the same police you're trying to defund or handling it yourself. Either way, nothing gets handled unless it's some form of accountability. All of these kids cannot be

getting killed in these streets and nothing happens. That is not you absolutely sending the wrong stage by doing that and streaming to fund the police, to fund the police, we want the police own communities. There has to be accountability if that's what you want. Yeah, they were saying at least five children were killed by gun violence across the nation. Is holiday weekend, and when I say it's getting out of hand, it just seems like people don't care.

I mean, I've seen people get shot in broad daylight and a lot of this is on camera, like the people just don't care. They just running around like it's nothing, like life is just okay, Like they get another another life, like you know, no, but once you die, you die, Like it's it's crazy. I think that we're all forgetting that all of these different things are conflated. You know what I'm saying. You still have coronavirus pandemic, you have

the economy and the toilet. So many people still unemployed, you know what I mean. You have people still out protesting social justice. Like America has been at a tipping point. So those people in certain communities, you know what I mean, are they've been past the tipping point and there at the breaking point right now and hurt people, hurt people, And that's what you're gonna see a lot of this summer. Yeah,

it's just not enough opportunity out there for folks. Right, It's all right, Well that is your front page news. Now when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one now. Halle Berry. She was supposed to play a transgender in a new movie, but after receiving a backlash from the LGBTQ plus community, she apologized and decided not to do it, So let's open up the phone lines. What are your thoughts? Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Some

people are saying, well, she's an actress. She should be able to play any any character at all, whether it's a superhero, a man, a woman, a transgender, or whatever character may be. And some people are feeling like, no, she should leave that part for a transgender. So let's open up the phone lines. Let's have a conversation. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. What are your thoughts? Call us up right now and we'll get

your opinion when we come back. Charlemagne, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, phone call in right now, call me at your opinion to the Breakfast Club. Top breaking down. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one The Breakfast Club. It's topic time to call eight hundred five A five one oh five one to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it morning. Everybody is

DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club, all right, So let's open up the phone lines. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Now, Hollyberry was supposed to play a transgender in a new movie, but after receiving backlash from the LGBTQ plus community, she

apologized and decided not to do it. She said over the weekend, I had the opportunity to discuss my consideration for an upcoming role as a transgender man, and I'd like to apologize for those remarks as a sis gender woman. I now understand that I should not have considered this role and that the transgender community should undeniably have the

opportunity to tell their own stories. I am grateful for the guidance and critical conversation over the past few days, and I will continue to listen, to educate and learn from this mistake. I vowed to be an ally in using my voice to promote better representation on screen, both in front and off the camera and behind the camera. All right, so what do you think, Charlomagne. I think

that there's absolutely no upside and having this conversation. The transgender mafia, the teas don't like us six genders and their family business. Okay, But since you asked the question, I can see both sides. I can see how if you're a member of the Teas, the transgender community you want to be represented. You know, it's not a lot of transgender representation in the TV and film world, so when that role does pop up, they want someone from

their community getting that part. I totally get it, totally understand because if it's the role of a sisgendered man or a woman, I highly doubt Hollywood is reaching out to transgenders to audition for those roles. So I get it. But if Hollyberry wanted to act in a movie and she played a woman who was transitioning into a man, why would that be a problem. Would you have her play a sisgendered woman in the first half of the movie, and then as she transitions you bring in someone who

who has already transitioned. I don't understand any of this, but I also will ask can transgender women play the role of sisgendered women in a movie? If a transgender woman gets a role that a sisgendered woman would would usually get, would sisgendered women push back on that? Would that be a problem? Like it's acting like, like what about all the crackheads and homeless people who actually need work? Should they be upset? Who aren't crackheads and homeless? Pop?

Who played him in movies, should fat people be upset that Eddie Murphy played a whole fat family and no ship didn't leave, no rule, no roles for the opese among us. I'm just saying, where does this go? That's what I'm just saying. How far does this goal? Is what I want to know. And I see both sides

as well. I mean, I understand that transgenders would love to tell a story, but in Hollywood, if Hollyberry wants to play a partners an actress, she is going to bring people to that movie regardless of the movie is good, if regardless of the movie is bad. She is that type of actress, kind of like Denzel Washington. Like the movies that Denzel does that people don't care if they're good or bad about the reviews. They just like Denzel

as an actor. So what you said, you're saying that it should be about the star power as opposed to representation, is what you're saying in Hollywood movies. Yeah, sometimes it is about the star power, Absolutely it is sometimes. But I also do understand the transgenders who feel like they want to tell their own story. The transgender community wants to be able to say, hey, this is my story. But like you said, I see both sides, but I

don't know. Let's go to the phone lines. By the way, if I was a transgendered person, and you know, I would love for Hollyberry to play me in a movie, I'm just saying, well, let's go to the phone line. Hello, who's this? Try us feel from Detroit? Feel from Detrait. What's up? Brother? I'm doing all right? What's up with you soon? What's your thoughts? Bro? But I think people too sensitive with all that, you know that the gay and lesbian right stuff. You know what I'm saying, Um,

Holly berrys and actress. She should be able to accept any rule that's offered to her without offending a whole group of people. You know what I'm saying, Like, and then when did black and civil rights? When did black civil rights and kay rights become one movement? You know what I'm saying, Like how how did we get pencil

in into that? You know what I'm saying, Like it shouldn't have nothing to do with the other, you know what I mean, Like, like what we're fighting for the street should have nothing to do with gay and lesbian right, Like like how did that all become one? Civil rights movement. You know that's that's crazy. You know and wait, wait a minute, Wait a minute, how did this conversation become

about civil rights? We're talking about representation in Hollywood? No, no, I'm a little brother, I'm What I'm saying is, how does that become one movement? You know what I'm saying, Like every time somebody threw something. You know what I'm saying, it's like gay people offended? You know, her taking a role? How is that offending? Lesbian or transgender? You know what I'm saying, Like, and why is it? Why is that topic so sensitive? Like if people don't like gay people,

they should be able to say that. You shouldn't be like a home or follow just because you say you don't like gay people. You know what I'm saying, Like, it's crazy that if people And now I have to push back on you, right, And I'm pushing back on you just because I just want you to think about this. Uh. Can a white person say if I don't like black people, I should be not racist? And and and he is he not racist? If he says that, If he says I don't like black people, would you say that white

person is not racist? No, he would be racist. No, I would not say he's not racist, but that's his prerogative. If he can be who we want to be, you know what I'm saying. Well, he's not gonna make me. You know what I'm saying, crap. But if he's if he doesn't like a black person because of the color of his skin, he's racist. Uh, he's right. And if you don't and if you don't like a gay person just because they're gay, you are indeed the homlepho. Yes, sure,

but thank you for carling brother. Hello, who's this? This is me me from Detroit to Morton. Good morning. We're talking about Holly Berry this morning. She was supposed to play a transgend in a new movie, but after receiving blacklash, she decided not to do it. What are your thoughts, right? I feel like Halle Berry should go do another camp woman too and leave the transgender role for a transgender

That's just like Julie or Roberts playing here. He's up, man, he leave the black role for a black person, You lead a transgender role for a transgender So do for her for making the right decision. Okay, that's all right, Well, thank you That is very That is very interesting because I was I was thinking about that. I was like, is that the same as a white person playing a black person or vice versa. I don't know. The reason I say I don't know is because Holly Berry is

a sisgendered woman. So if she was playing a transgender in a movie, what if the role was her starting officer, sister gendered woman, and then transitioning into a transgendered woman. Wouldn't it make sense to have the sister gendered woman playing the sister gender woman and then I guess when they try. I don't know what happens when they transition, but I'm just saying I don't know if that's necessarily the same as a white person playing a black person,

a black person playing a white person. I don't know, all right? Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one if you just joined us. Hollyberry was supposed to play a transgender in a new movie, but after receiving backlash from the LGBTQ plus community, she decided not to do it, and she apologized, what are you you lgbt Q plus, I see you envy. You've been studying. I've been studying. I've been listening to you. I've been listening, but what are your thoughts? Call us now, it's the

Breakfast Club. Good morning. Call me your opinions to the Breakfast Club top eight five one five one morning. Everybody is j Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomagne, the gal. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now if you just join us, We're talking about Holly Berry. She was supposed to play a transgender in a new movie, but after receiving backlash from the LGBTQ plus community, she decided to apologize and said she's not gonna do it. Where taking your calls?

Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Now, the thing with that is, I see both sides. But you know, as if you go to acting class or if you study acting, they teach you how to embody different people in different things. So when you become an actor, because you know, I was at Thesbian I don't know if you know that, but I was in the two movies. But that's neither here nor there. But yeah, when they teach you how to be an actor, they actually teach

you how to become different characters. So I'm just curious to what you guys think Now, Charlomagne, you said you see it on both sides, right, Yeah, I definitely see both sides. And I totally can understand, you know, the transgender community wanting to be represented, you know, because it's not a lot of trans in the representation in the TV and film world when that role, when those roles do pop up, they want someone from their community getting

getting those parts. Totally get it, totally understand because I don't think that if the role of assist gender woman our man is out there, highly doubt Hollywood is reaching out the transgender to audition for those roles. I get it. All right, Well, let's go to the full lines. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up? Bro? We're asking about Holly Berry. What are your thoughts? I think that's like Martin Layers. They played Bill and parents, they ever played um and

it has who played you? Wanna man? I mean to better play the roles, sishit did help from a transcendent person or to pick the role better. Okay, so some of your thoughts in that show, because there's been a bunch of men that that played women in movies and

and did people have a problem with that? I can't, um, I would be a total hypocrite because I would not want to see a white person and playing a black role, especially if it's somebody you know that's prominent from the black community, Like you know, the young lady called early and said, Julia Roberts playing Harriet Tubman would be a no goal. We could not have that. And on the flip side, if it was somebody from you know, the white community that was prominent, I wouldn't want to see

a black person play them. So I totally get it. But but you remember it just Elbow is supposed to play Double O seven and everybody was fine with that. Of a black person playing James Bond, No, because James Bond is just the character, Like there's nothing like James Bond's character is not rooted in his race, you know what I mean. Harriet Tubman's whole it's black, you know what I'm saying, Like she's a black icon. It's not

the same with with with with James Bond. I just I just don't know where it stops, you know what I'm saying. Because I'm sitting here thinking about all the crackheads and the homeless people who need the money, who don't get to play themselves in movies. You know what I mean. I think fat people should be very upset that Eddie Murphy played a whole fat family and nuttie professor. We might need to revisit that. Okay, I'm serious. Hello, who is this? Hey? This is La La Fort Laudaville. Yay,

good morning. We're talking Holly Berry this morning. You know, she was supposed to play a transgendent a new movie, but after receiving backlash, she decided not to do it, and she apologized, what are your thoughts? I think she was right to back down, And like I was saying earlier,

I do not agree with the transgender lifestyle. However, if the transcendent community is upset and they want representation of somebody from their community, then I understand that even in disagreeing with the lifestyle, when you're when you're seeking from Holly Day's perspective, at somebody who did from theater growing up, I do understand the politics of theater. Like I wouldn't want nobody U White playing Martin Luther King. You know

stuff like that. You want um, you know, accurate representation. And again I don't agree with the lifestyle. However I do I will say that they do have a right to be upsets for a short Okay, all right, well thank you mama. Did you get David john Man it? Did he answer? No, David, David Johns didn't hit. I know some people will say too, you know, if transgenders can emulate women or men, then a woman or man

should be able to emulate transgenders. But I think just from a aspect of representation, I totally understand why the transgender community would want to be represented, you know what I'm saying. Like I said before, it's not a lot of transgender representation in the TV and film world, so when that role does pop up, they want someone from

their community getting that that role. But I don't I don't think Holly Berry is necessarily wrong for wanting to play a transgender because actors and actresses they like to play complex characters, you know what I mean, And and that would be a very complex role I'm sure if for assis gendered woman to play. So yeah, I'm not mad at her from wanting to play the role. But I'm also not mad at the transgenders for pushing back

and saying no, we want those roles for us. Let me ask you question, didn't Will Smith play a gay man in a in a movie? Was that wrong? In that's a good question. I don't know. That's a great question, you know because all day long people play gay men, they play gay women. You know, is that wrong when they play these characters in movies as well? Well, there's something would say Will may not have been playing a character even you know what I'm saying, bag Off Stumm

and I love Will. I'm just saying, you know what, when we come back, we got the rumors. Fifty's been all over the news, So we're gonna talk fifty cent and happy birthday to my bro fifty So don't move. It's the Breakfast Local morners. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Now.

You and doctor Dre and Eminem and nowt y'all got damn the g unit out y'all, bro y'all, y'all bright, y'all ass on that come home see the King. So what are your thoughts? Would you

like to see that TI verse fifty cent? First of all, not only would I like to see it, I would like to see it for a couple of reasons. Number one, the the talking disrespect to each other they both were the same level, would be great. Yea, Hey, you're talking about two intellectual, articulate talkers. It would be highly entertaining. I mean, you're talking about two of the best, two of the best mouthpieces in the game period. Um. And though I love fifty cent, fifty cent is a cancer

like I am. Um, I love everything that fifty cent stands for. But you know TI is one of my top five top seven favorite rappers of all time. And UM, I say this with all due respect, t I will wash fifty cent in the verses battle Now, Charlomagne and God hasn't been on the air since. Um. You know I I accurately predicted that Jada Kiss would wash fabulous.

I know Envy is about to disagree with me on this one, but I'm telling you right now, T I p in a versus battle versus fifty cent musically twenty songs with twenty songs will wash fifty cent, and I love fifty, but he will wash fifty I would have to expeditiously. Uh uh, disagree with you, brother. I don't think that of T. I will wash fifty cent. I actually think fifty cent will actually beat T. I tell me how you have nothing to stand on with that? Why tell me how? What do you mean? How did

that happen? Tell me you want to know? How did that happen? Yeah? Right? Ready? What up? Gettings to patiently waiting, many men in the club high all the time? He if I can't back down, p I MP like my style. Poord twenty one questions, wankster Life's on the lot and that's on the record, said he. So that's he is record. So fifty is gonna play the whole? Get Richard die trying album? That's one album. You name, You named all songs off one album, So play the whole. Get Richard

not trying. Meanwhile, you're talking about a man who gave us trap music, urban legend, king and paper trail TI. I can go dope, boys in the trap, be easy. Let's get away doing my job. Twenty fours rubber band man, Look what I got? Motivation asap you don't know me, bring him out. What you know about that? Top back, live your life, whatever you like? What's up? What's happening?

Swagger like us? You want to go to features TI I can give you, ain't I. He can give you shoulder lean, He can give you goddamn never scared with bone Crusha. What are you talking about? He can give you Soldier with Destiny's childs that give you lines. He could give you. He could give you blurred lines with Robin Thick. He could give you my love with Justin Timbert. But you can't do hate to love it. You can't do a candy shop. You can't do just a little bit.

You can't do all the joys that he did with with Tody Yeyo, whether it's so seductive, whether it's pimpant. We can we can go on and on and on and on. You know, I meant, like I said, if you want to, if you want to do his other artist, he I can do ain't I, like I said. And I didn't even get to I get money. I didn't even get to all those other joints that I didn't name it. I didn't I didn't get to another nose yet. I just did his first album. We could still go

get to a lot of these other joys. So so yeah, I don't think, um, I don't think b I will wash anybody. I think it'll be a very entertaining versus. Um. But I think it'll be a wash, I really do. I think I don't think the first I think the first seven to ten rounds would be competitive. After that when they start going to distance, no, I don't necessary I don't necessarily think so. I think that the guy

fifty cent Curtis Jackson actually got that one. But anyway, so I hope that we get to see that battle. I don't know if it's actually gonna happen, um, but I would definitely think it should happen. I think fifty should do it. I think TA should do it. I think that is um a very very entertaining versus I really do. Yeah, I think so too. I And also we got to congratulate remy Ma and Pat Poos. It

looks like they are expecting another baby now. Pat Poosh was doing an interview with Clodia Jordan r The Fox Soul, and this is what he said. I just I love being with my family. You know what I'm saying, I get to spend so much time with my amazing wife and my amazing daughter, and I'm just making the best out of it, you know what I'm saying. And we're moving forward and some good things are actually coming out of this. You know, we're going to have a new

child real soon. Drop on a clues box with Pat Poos and remy Ma and I love to see the King and the Queen bringing in more royalty to the world, so absolute, mais absolutely so congratulations to them. Now when we come back, don't get to day what we're talking about. Don't get to day. We need to have a conversation with the hood man. We need to have a conversation with all these people that was out here this weekend.

Just letting the hammers fly. We'll talk about it, all right, we'll get into that next keeping lock this to breakfast, club go morning. Don't give the day being dunky of the day a little bit of a mill but like a dope other day club bitches. Now, I've been called a lot of my twenty three years, but Dunkey of the day is a new wife. Dunkey of to day for Tuesday, July seven, goes to all you people everywhere who decided that on fourth of July weekend fireworks were

not enough. Sixty five people shot over the weekend in New York, eighty seven people shot in Chicago. An eight year old named Sakoria Turning shot and killed in Atlanta while riding with her mother. An eleven year old Devon McNeil was at an anti violence cookout in DC. He was shot and killed. In Chicago was seven year old Mattilia Wallace was outside her family's house during a holiday gathering. She was shot and killed. Rest in peace to all

of those kids. Condolences to their family. Now here's the thing. You can't have this conversation and discussion about the funding the police, abolishing the police, wanting the police our own communities but didn't have things like this happened with no consequences or repercussions. In fact, this makes the whole the

fund the police, abolish the police argument. Yeah, let me say that instead of the fund the police, this makes the whole abolish the police argument null and void unless the perpetrators of these crimes are held accountable by the

same communities that they are terrorizing. That means that what y'all call snitching has to be repositioned as crime prevention because what happens in situations like this, those same lawless ass folks who out here just busting their guns and don't care who they hit, they stay on the street. And when they stay on the street, it continues this cycle of ignorance that we saw in cities all across the country on Fourth of July weekend. And the next person that may get hit is you with somebody that

you love. Therefore, the perpetrators of these crimes have to be held accountable. That is the word of today, accountability. Okay. Also, I don't think for one second that the powers that be wouldn't attempt to prove a point by letting the hood get even more out of control this summer, to show y'all why we need the police, to show y'all why we need law and order. The has to be law that has to be ordered for what does that

look like? Well? I saw TI last night post this from Paulay, and I agree with a lot of what Paulay had to say. Let's listen to it. A lot of y'all be doing some whole ass, but a lot of y'all call y'all realness. If you're a real, hold your partner account before the whole ass did he do? Then at the end of the day, if you do some whole ass, you get caught for it. Stand on it because they would really do. So that being said, whoever shot that little girl down in that park a lot?

It won this man turn home ass see and ain't talking about to the police. It's about to the streets. Look your street just at this time. If you can't teach us how to be real, how to do hole no mo fount So whoever want to ride, I want to stand behind them. Hey man, it's whatever. It's Oh, if you really like me, let's link up. Link with me. Man, all the big homers, all the all the game bankers, all the old gs linked with me. Let's find out who this is in the way. Yeah, and let's handle

the street away the way we do. We don't want the police in our business. Well guess what the time for us to start policing our own The time for us start protecting our own communities now. The only reason I don't believe in screet justice totally is because screet justice this leads to someone else committing a good intention crime. Then they lose their freedom or person loses their life for what, Okay, for something they may see as a great cause, and it probably is a great cause, but

the reality is is just creating more bad energy. Now, I am in my maddiscreet justice, no, but America doesn't respect screet justice and they can't wait to lock our black asses up. Okay, citizens arrest doesn't work for people who this country barely considers citizens. But what Paulay is saying is true because it's all rooted in accountability. It has to be accountability. We have to hold the perpetrators

of these crimes accountable. However you see fit to hold people accountable for these crimes, whether it's calling the same police you're trying to defund or handling it yourself. Either way, nothing gets handled unless it's some form of accountability. By the way, America, this is exactly why police need to be defunded. But not a Okay, it's two different things.

Because if you defund the police and take some of that money out of these police budgets and invest into these poor and disenfranchise communities, then you will be providing something these kids don't have right now, and that's hope. Okay, you're not providing these kids with no opportunities, and you wonder why they feel hopeless, hopeless enough to just shoot at whoever wherever. We acting like we're not seeing what's

going on in the world. Coronavirus got the economy all messed up, Unemployment rate is high, people's money is all left up. So imagine how to folks in the hood who've been going through hell, who are now catching it even worse than they were before. Imagine how they feel. Hurt people hurt people in the hood is hurting. So yes, defund the police and take some of those billions, those hundreds of millions you're given police budgets, and give it

to the hood. We don't need the abolish police, but we do need to have police in our communities who understand our communities. And right now we need people who understand that the hood needs hope, period, point blank. Let me tell you something, man, this is gonna be happening all summer. Okay, if you have a young person in the hood, you can talk to provide an opportunity for do it, because this government will not. And if this

government doesn't do it, and we're gonna do it. Guess what they're gonna be doing exactly what they were doing the passport for July weekend, busting their gun at whoever, wherever, Okay police officers. Now is not the time to prove a point and say, oh, y'all wanted to fund us, y'all want to abolish us, We're going to police your own communities. Now is not the time for that. But

I fear that's exactly what's about to happen. So I have to do what I usually do at a time like this, and that's turned the Black Women for the Answers salute to Erica Ford. She has a great idea and she's been implementing all weekend, and it's to cease fire in the hoods across America. And you know, Erica said, between coronavirus and police brutality, we can't be out here warring with each other and killing our own I totally agree. Why because gun violence would just lead to more police

in our communities. You saw they just called in the National Guard in Atlanta. They're saying this to protect the statues. I don't think so in Georgia rather, Okay, not just Atlanta. And if we are really going to police and protect our hoods. Then now is the sum of the start, and the only way it will happen is if we hold ourselves and others accountable. However that looks to you. Do it. If you know who committed these crimes and you want to call those same police, you're trying to

defund those same police. You're trying to abolish the tell on them. Didn't do that. If you want street justice, I don't agree with that, only because I don't want y'all getting jammed up. You know when when when when things like that happen. But if you want street justice, hey man, do it. The keyword here, though, is account to ability. We have to hold our people accountable for

these crimes that they are committing in our communities. Please give all these folks who busting their guns like it was the fourth of July, because it was the biggest he hall. All right, well, let's let's open the phone. Let's talk about it. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. Now you just talked about it. Sixty five people shot in New York, eighty seven people shot in Chicago, twenty two people shot in the Lanta. Shootings have been going up all across the country. People have

been talking about the funding the police. Yes, so what are your thoughts now on the funding the police? Eight hundred five eight five one oh five. Well, well, let's separate the two, right, because I think defunding the police is not the same as abolishing the police. And there's people who have been talking about abolishing the police and putting systems in place the police are owned communities. Well,

I don't. I think there's a difference between because I think the funding would actually work in a situation like this, because you're taking that money from the police budgets and putting them in the hood and providing these kids something they don't have, which is hoping opportunity. See, this is the thing about the funding the police, and this is what I've been saying for a while. You can't necessarily defund the police until we know where the money's actually going.

Like they have to open up the books and we have to see where, like in New York, where that six billion dollars is going a year. We have to open up these these books and say, hey, you know, if the police department has this budget, where is this money going? And then you can figure out Okay, well we need to take money out of here, money out of the day. You just can't defund the police without

knowing where that money is actually going. And I would, I actually say, is is you know you've been watching I'm sure you've been seeing it. And I've been seeing all the videos of people throwing rocks and bottles and you know, cursing police officers out and it's that and the other. It's gonna make it's gonna make it tough. We have to get a place where we have to see the good police officers and x out the backs

at the bad police officers. Because what's what's happening If you're a good police officer and you and you're pulling up to something where you know there was a shooting or there was a domestic violence call or any type of call, and when you pull up, they're throwing bottles, uh, rocks and all these type of things that your vehicle. Would that make you want to go to the to

the areas where these calls are being called? Um no, no. But if that's what that's what's what's gonna happen is you're gonna start having these governors calling in the National Guard and that's what you don't want right right, So let's open up the phone lines. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. What's the question, though, what are we talking about now? You know, after after seeing what happened this weekend, do you feel like abolishing the

police is still look good? Idea? Okay, let's let's talk about it. Call us up. Man's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Phone call in right now at your opinion to the Breakfast Club top breaking down. Eight hundred five eighty five one five one The Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just joined us, Charlemagne gave donkey up

the data. Who's Charlemagne? Um? Everybody that was shooting this weekend, you know, popping, shooting, letting off guns like it was the fourth of July, even though it was. But you know, sixty five people shot over the weekend in New York, eighty seven people shot in Chicago. Um, predominantly a lot of kids in Atlanta. Kind of makes the conversation about

abolishing the police, you know, null and void. I know people like to mix up to hold the fund the police and abolish the police, even though even though those are two different things. But like, it's kind of hard to say you want to abolish the police when these type of crimes are happening, you know, unless we're going to start holding ourselves accountable in a real way, meaning that when we know the perpetrator of these crimes, we

handle it. You know, we we either handle it and screet justice, which I don't agree with because that just leads to more people going to jail. Are you got to call those same police that you're talking about the funding and abolishing and tell them to come do their job. Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't believe in abolishing the police. Um, the reason is is you need police officers out there, as you can see what's going on in the world right now now. Defunding the police, you know, I want

to see where that money's going first. I can't say, okay, let's take the money, but we don't know where the money's going for Let's open up these these budgets and see where this money's going. And if we can move money around, then we move money around. But I don't think abolishing the police is a good thing. Yeah, yeah, I don't think you need to abolish the police either, but I do think you need to defund the police. We don't need to abolished the police, we need to

change the whole system of policing that I know. I think the only way you do that is by, you know, one of the ways you do that is by encouraging people from the hood to become police officers and giving them some kind of financial incent of to stay in those same communities they grew up in. I think that's that's the start. But I do think that we should defund the police because I do think we should take some of those those police budgets and put them in

these points disenfranchise communities. I think that when you provide these these people with more opportunity, you provide them with more hope. And when you have more hope, you won't be so hopeless as to just start shooting wherever, whenever and hitting whoever. Right, well, let's go to the phone lines eight hundred five eight five one on five one, Hello, who's this? What's up? N being Charlomagne Carolina baby? You know three eight o three was happening. So we're talking

about abolishing the police. What are your thoughts, brother, I mean, all cops is not bad cops, but I mean they just need to come to an agreement with things and do a background check and get all the bad cops out of there, you know, Okay, I agree. I don't believe in reform for police officers because I think that, you know, it's like trying to reform a pitbull. You know, with all of these videos that we see these police officers just beating people up and shooting people and all like, no,

that some of these guys can't be reformed. You gotta get rid of them all together. All right? Hello, who's this heights on it? Hey? I next? Good morning, Good morning, Good morning everyone. That's an amazing name. Thinking like the precious soon, of course, I think ahead my answer to the question. Truthfully, I feel that it's not more so defunding the police, but I feel that people within the

community should actually become the police officers. I live in a community I've lived there in my entire life, and I see police officers who I've never seen before, and

you know, I don't recognize them. I live close to a military town, and we have a lot of people who who retire from the military, and then they become police officers, and then you know what I mean, being in that environment from the military environment to you know, not knowing the environment, not knowing the people of the community. I feel like that contributes to a lot of the issues that we come across. Truthfully, I just feel like

us as a community, we should involve ourselves more. Like I do agree with you Charlomagne as far as not really street justice being the answer, because that causes more issues for us, you know what I mean, That causes were polications for people to be able to do things to us because we want to react in certain ways. So I feel that the people in the community should step up more by becoming the police officers for their communities.

I don't feel that they should let people who don't know, you know, anyone that comes around, Like there are a lot of people my aunt, you know, I live in a country country town. So my aunt who with the

kandie lady, you know what I mean. So it's like if you don't know the candid lady, or if you don't know the young boy down the street to know you know, certain things that he's going through to understand his thought process, then you're gonna potentially see him as a threat, and but if you know him, then there's going to a more leeway, you know what I mean, There's gonna be more resistance in a way to treat them in a different way because you know these people.

And I just feel that as a comic to become the police officers. That's how I feel. I couldn't honest, I couldn't agree with you more. I believe that wholeheartedly. I think that one of the ways, you you know, make the relationship between the police and the civilians better is by encouraging people from the hood to become police officers. But you got to give them some type of financial incentive. I don't know if it's free housing. Are you paid

him more? But you got to pay these people to become police officers and stay in those same communities they grew up in. That is that that has to happen, all right? Well, thank you, mama. Eight hundred five eight five one five. Mama, you're calling me, Mama? Are you talking to honys? I was talking to this was the last person talking. You said one thing, No, but you said what thank you, mama? Not so I don't know who you're talking. Maybe I was talking me. I ain't

seen you in a while. I ain't seen you in a while. You finally got to hit that much. You finally got a head cuts miss me that much. Maybe we'll talk about you. I don't mind being called mama. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one that Charlemagne gave people out there don't get a day for all these shootings we've been seeing, and the conversation came up about abolishing the police. Do you still think we should abolish the police. It's that's still a thought. It's

that something you've been thinking about. Call us now. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, I know, call me at your opinions to the breakfast club topic eight hundred five one morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club that if you just joined this, Charlemagne gave dontt a day to who Charlemagne everybody I was busting their guns this weekend, you know, hitting all of these random children, killing all of these

random children. Sixty five shot in New York, eighty seven shot in Chicago, eight year old girls shot in Atlanta, eleven year old shot in DC, A seven year old shot in Chicago. Come on, man, So we're asking eight hundred five eight five one or five one. With all these conversations, people are saying, abolised the police? Do you guys still think we should abolish the police? Hello? Who's this? This is Donald from Beauford, South Carolina. Hey, Donald Money,

Hey morning. We're talking about people are still saying, aboylais the police? What are your thoughts? I kind of agree with what you say, DJ Andry. We can't abolish the police, you know. I think we need to, like you say, open up the books, see where the money is going, and use that money that's not properly going to training

the police. Because I think a lot of the problems is when you get some of these police officers, particularly white police officers, going in black neighborhoods, I think, off the jump, they're scared because then I properly trained, they don't know how to interact in certain neighborhoods. They don't know, you know, how to deal with a certain situation, and they're going into that situation not properly trained. Um. You know, I'm I'm the child of police officers. My mom and

dad were police officers for over thirty years. Um, you know, so I have a better insight of you know, how to properly police, how how the police should be. UM. And I know you guys in New York, you know a lot of times you see probably growing up, is the police were walking their beat. You don't see that anymore. Absolutely don't see the police in that neighborhood. UM, relating to the people, you know, being part of the neighborhood.

So I think that's what some of that money, when you open up these books and these neighborhoods need to go to, like making these police officers get back out there and walk you know, you know, do what you're paid to do, you know, interact with the with the neighborhoods, you know, white or black, you know, be part of

the neighborhood. Have the black police officers and the whit neighborhoods interact with them, maybe they can start to you know, understand you know, you know, the perspective of a black person in America. UM. It's just a lot of things. But I don't think abolishing the police is gonna solve solve problem. I think it's gonna make it worse. You know what I mean. All right, well, thank you brother, Listen.

I think that you have to defund the police, though, especially in cities like New York City with a budget of six billion dollars, you take some of that money out of these police budgets you can invest into these poor and disenfranchise communities. Then you'll be providing something these

kids don't have right now, and that's hope. Like you're not providing these kids with no opportunities, and then you wonder why they feel hopeless enough to just shoot, you know, at whoever, wherever, whenever, like we acting like we don't see what the hell is happening out here in these streets. Okay, So to fund the police, take some of that money, put it back into the communities. And as far as, like you know, reforming the police, I don't think you

can reform the police. I think it's like reforming a pitbull. So what we should be doing is encouraging people from our communities to become police officers and providing them some type of financial incentive to actually police their own communities, to be going to law enforcement, going to the academy, and come back home and police their own communities. Yeah, I agree with you. I think, you know, we have to police our own communities. You have to be in

the community. You have to know who these kids who, you know where who the community is. And I also feel like you just can't to fund the police without necessarily knowing where that money's gone. We have to open up the books and see where that money's going. First. Of course, police officers don't get paid a lot of money, so you know it's not going to police salaries. But where's that money going to end? And how can we

stop that? I don't think it's right if and I'm not I'm not saying this is true, but I don't think this is right. If the police department gets sued and that budget that they get from the government goes to paid off those people, I don't think that's right. I don't think that's right. That's taxpayer money, that's part of us, that's part of this qualifying qualified immunity, if I'm not mistaken, Yes, because qualify if you get if you get rid of qualified immunity, then that means police

officers will be held um financial accountable responsible. Yeah, and I think that they should. I think that they should. For instance, the officer that they killed George Floyd like. I don't think that when the family sues and the family gets money from that, I don't think it should come from taxpayers money. I think it should come from him. Absolutely. I think he should be able to get taken his house, officer, take his pension. I agree these police, these police officers

should be facing the threat of prison. Are their pensions takings are prisons which one I guarantee you, when you out there in those screech you will think twice about, you know, whatever it is that you do when you know you have the possibility of losing either one of those things. All right, all right, when we come back, we got rumor report. We got to talk about fifty cent in TI again. Charlemagne and I've been arguing behind

the scenes. Let's talk about the challenge that TI put out there, and we'll talk about it when we come back. It's a breakfast lug morning, the breakfast club. Just oh gosh, got got breakfast club now. T I wished fifty cent a happy birthday, but also he put out a challenge. Let's listen for your birthday, I offer you a challenge, sir, pull your ass up, man, with twenty of your records. Man, sit across from me. Man, get this work. Man, you

know what I say. But I understand if you don't want to else to that challenge, because that time you got challenge kind get with just as your ass all, So you might not want to do that, so well, bring your ass on that brain your record bright, you hit records with you, You and doctor Dre and Eminem and now y'all got them to g unit out y'all. Bro y'all, y'all, bring y'all ass on that come home see the king. Listen, Man, I already told y'all, uh,

fifty cent. I love fifty cents. I love everything fifty cents is about when it comes to his business. But in that versus versus Ti, y'all normal record as saying, tis one of my top five just seven rapp favorite rappers of all time. I think TI washes fifty cent in a versus. It'll be a great battle, the great battle. But and how do you say that? We're picking twenty songs, right, twenty songs fifty The same guy that said fabulous was gonna wash Jada, you said I'm gonna be close. It

wasn't gonna wasn't even close the Jada. It was closer than than than Yes, but fab also missed seventeen three. Anybody a little mole? You need to play a lot of that. But that's not that. This is this Paul little Rich, What up? Gangster? Patiently waiting many men in the club. Whip your head if I can't pimp? Twenty one questions, wangster, I get money? Hated a love it so seductive window shopping. We can go back down. We can go have a baby by me. We could go

magic stick, we could go crack a bottle. We could do still will. There's so many joints. We can go candy shop. Now. I'm at thirteen, I'm the man, fourteen, Ghetto Korn, fifteen, Life on the Line, sixteen, the joints with Joe seventeen he got joints then for me, Jeremon eighteen. That's you know what, I'm sorry, that's twenty eight right there,

this name twenty eight joints. Twenty eight if you take out any of them, because you say eight of them was little too copy ish, twenty hard joints right there? What do you I'm sorry, it's the watch. Where do you want to go with tr you can go with swagger like us. What's up, what's happening? Whatever you like? Live your life. Top top back, top back. I'm talking to you. What you know about that? Bring them out?

You don't know me asap motivation. Look what I got, rubber band man twenty fours, Be easy, let's get away doing my job. Deadn't gone. What do you want to do? You want to do features? You don't going to features twenty. I'm saying that's twenty. But don't say my man ain't got twenty joints. They ain't gonna be no wash. I think I didn't say fifty got twenty. I didn't say fifty. I'm just saying to get two. It's not gonna be a wash. And I think fifty guts. I think fifty

gets this one. When when you put together Try's whole catalog features and his own catalog. Come on, man, it's not even close. It's really not. I agree that I think easy. And by the way, people people will people will be, people will remember, and that's the beauty about the verses. They will remember when those songs are playing, like, oh shoot, that was my joint. Yeah, Because really we're talking about five albums versus one. No, that's not true.

That's not true. I think a bunch of other stuff off a bunch of album music. You got it. You got about seven joints of one album, but then you got a whole other, whole other like I Get Money, Candy Shot, Windows Shop and hate it a love, It's so seductive. How to rob? We could go mixtape, how to Rob, Ghetto Koran, Life's on the Line, Baby by Me, Magic Stick, All those wasn't on the same album. But I mean, my man's album is just so good. You

gotta put it here. That one album. Oh you said, you just said, that's your queen's bias, because I love Ghetto Koran. But Ghetto Koran is not ringing off in no verses. Okay, then you know that that's over the twenty. That's that's just bonus joints. Ghetto Karan and Life on the Line, that's bonus joint. I just do that and as a bonus, I'm the man. That's bonus. That's bonus. So if you want to do bonus with TI, you could do Ain't I. You could do Shoulder Lane, you

could do bang Off Jeezy album. You could do my love of justin Timberlake. You could do blurred lines off Robin thing like brod TI got joints and know real with fifty and so the fifth it big good battle. I hope it does have all the stuff like it ain't about it ain't about the money and biggie bopping. I didn't even get none of all that stuff like that. I ain't even touched none of oath. It would be

a good battle and hopefully that that does happen. That Terry Crews Now Terry Crews was on down Lemon and he had some things to say. He doubled down on some of the comments that he made. Can we play those comments? What I was issuing was a warning when you have the leaders of the Black Lives movement who are now talking about, you know, if we don't get our demands, we're gonna burn it down. Other black people who are talking about working with other whites and other

races that are being viewed a sellouts. And I viewed it as a very very dangerous self righteousness that was developing, that that really viewed themselves as better. It was almost a supremacist move. Their black lives mattered a lot more than my I have no idea what the hell Terry Crews is talking about. He has the right to his opinion, and people have the right to tell him shut the fol forever. But I really don't know what the hell

he be talking about me neither. I haven't figured it out, and I don't even know why he continues to talk. Just leave it alone. Yeah, all right, Well, I don't even to be honest with you, I don't care. I don't care what he's talking about. But I do know. I saw him trying to take Kat Williams Booty and Friday After Next on VH one this weekend. I don't know why I forgot about that movie, but I was watching.

I was watching VH one this weekend because H one was rerunning a lot of the old black Stuff, and um, yeah, when Terry Crews just gray up trying to take him, had to put the plies to his and told him, you were just gonna take it, Terry Crews on the line. Goodness gracious, all right, it's called Friday After the Next. Cultural context. Cultural context matters, people, Yes it does, because at one point that was a perfectly fine thing to write in the script and get green lit to point

the movie. Okay, goodness, but rape is rape. I don't care if it's man on man, man on woman, woman on woman. Brus are trying to take booty and Friday after next okay, and Kat Williams had to defend himself. Goodness, all right, well that is your rumor. Report still took the fliers off him, and the movie ends with Terry Crew still chasing after Cat Williams trying to take his booty. Couldn't this grace seemed like you watched it a couple of times? All right? All right, up next to the

People's Choice mixed, get your requested. Let me know what you want to hear. Don't move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line. We reached out to the brother this morning, but he's reaching back right now, David John, Good morning brother. How's it going water. We still got a lot of work to do, so we had a we had a conversation this morning. We were talking about

halle Berry. Halle Berry, you know, she was supposed to play a transgender in the movie, but after receiving backlash, she decided that she wasn't gonna do it and apologize. So we had the conversation this morning about Halle Berry uh not doing it and you know, asking people's opinions. So you know, since you're from the community, we wanted somebody to the community to ant to see what were

your thoughts on it. Yeah. I think in the same way that we have applauded actors who have done voice the black volk or straight folks who have otherwise served down queer roles, this is consistent with that we should

all celebrate Howie Berry, appreciate and that diversity matters. That it is still a problem that trans people often are not allowed to play trans characters or transmisses often reduced to singular understandings of gender because we have not moved past this very surface level point in the conversation, And so I would celebrate Howieberry, and I hope that we also not really talk about this role and this opportunity.

But the fact that five black trans women have died in the last week alone, that is a problem, and it's one that we still aren't talking enough about, let alone not doing enough about. So that's that's that's all the more reason that representation matters. Yeah, and for anybody who is unclear about this, I would really encourage you to take the time and watch the documentary Disclosure. It

is a powerful documentaries out on Netflix now. It's got a number of a diverse actually presentation of people with trans experience, and it helps us to understand that the way that we all have been trained to respond to transmiss often to either last at a trans body or

to be repulsed by a trans body. I don't know if if you have all thought thought about this, but remember the film A stentur a pet detective, like nobody might think about it now, and the way that it talks about in a repulsing way Transmi's not not transit being repulsing about the way that they talk about it in the film. But the entire last seed in the film is about him being disgusted a spenttour the pet detective that he had a romantic encounter with someone who's trans.

And it's an incredibly vexing because accid that presentation. There might not be trans representation on TV. But when you think about the fact that we have been taught by watching film. It's a favorite film for a lot of people that like the way we respond to transmiss the repulse.

That's something that we've been trained over time, and I'm hoping that people in this moment, when it feels like every day, every week, another black transforman is dying, while people are literally risking their lives to protest to demand that we acknowledge that all black lives matter, That this

stuff is constructed. These are messages that we've been fed, and we have the opportunity to appreciate that and to think about different messages, to resink gender, to rethink how we hold space for each other in particularly that like, gender is not just your genitalia. I've said it a couple of times, including on this platform. Genders are signed

at birth. And I need for growing ass boys in particular who were acting like their men because they have toxic masculinity and issues that they need to work through in therapy, to spend some time with this and to hold space for people for whose their humanity is valuable and should be values. All Right, you know I just got David, I got a question. That's why we needed

your expert opinion. Now, you know, but what about you know, when some actors like Will Smith played a gay person in a movie, what about when actors play those positions? Do you you feel that actors you can play those

positions as well equally as problematic. So the two things for me are like, At some point this becomes challenging because the question is, how do you know that a person as gay unless you slept with them, right, which which again, at some point we need to evolve pass the way that we either talk about this and we're restricted based on language. And again I watched Will Smith a sixth degree of separation. It was a powerful portrayal.

And it is also the case that they're especially talented actors who are also queer as people of color who could also play that role. My friends and I were having this debate last night. I like, I like Insecure as a blacks man from England, California, I appreciate it nothing else. The way that they're momoralizing LA. I don't understand why they decided to write a gay character and then not have a gay man play them, right, And

so it's complicated. It's not that easy. At some point, we should be talking about people being especially talented allowed to demonstrate that talent. And it is also the case that representation matters. But you know, even with the case with will Smith, because that's at the time Will Smith was the biggest actor in the world. So like you said, to play a character like it wasn't wasn't first role. Yeah,

it was this first commercial. It was the first commercial role in that regard, right, But but that notwithstanding, some of this is about us not allowing people to flourish,

us to go back to where we were. There's a Glad media statistic that says that more than eighty percent of people say that they do not know somebody who is training and so most people are introduced to transmits via TV, and most storylines around Trains' identity are about transpolke either doing sex work or being murdered, without the context to help people appreciate why it is that, Like black transfolks are often forced in the sex work. That's

not to say that anybody's forced into it. Some people choose to do it, but there are socially constructed conditions, like y'all's president changing laws to deny transpolkes access to healthcare. That'stional. Just two weeks ago, the Supreme Court said, based on a Title seven decisions, something that is civil rights law, that you cannot fire people based on actual or perceived sexual identity during the orientation or expression. That's that's a

law that said that today you can't fire somebody. You know, a whole lot of people in this characters who don't know sure about that law or this battitu shouldn't fire somebody. And it is still legal in so many states in this country to fire somebody, or not to fire somebody, but to deny somebody counting or to deny them access to public services like dass stations or hospitals or restaurants.

Through the real life challenges that make people's lived experiences complicated, and the minimum we can do is allowed for diverse representations of people's experiences to exist on screen such that when people encounter people who are different, that difference is celebrated and not seeing something that needs to be killed or controlled or otherwise met with violence. That is definitely true,

my man. Thank you for checking in there. We trying to get you in early, but we figured you with sleeping. But thank you for checking in and calling us back and were telling me Cole Yeah, no, doing the work again, and I would encourage folks to look at our website in DJC dot org. We are trying to chronicle and

document as much as we can. But again in the last week, five days we are not We're just five days out since quote pride in mind, we've lost five of our sisters, one of them a seventeen year old girl in Arkansas, a black girl who was murdered. And there's no excuse for it. Again, not while black trans women, black were folks. All black folks are talking about our lives matter. All of our lives have to man, and I hopefully we get this right. All right, Well, thank

you David, Joe. I appreciate you for checking in. Get a website again, David, because it was like it was like a static. I appreciate it. MDJC dot org, the National Black Gusts Coalition. You can also find most of what I'm talking about our digital platforms in DJC on the Move. All right, all right, well, thank you so much for checking in. When we come back, we got the positive notes, so don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning morning everybody, DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the

guy we are the Breakfast Club. That's Charlomagne. You got a positive note. You listen. Before we get to the positive note, I just want to salute everybody in Charleston, South Carolina. This Friday and Saturday, I will be doing COVID nineteen no cost testing events, same one like I did in Columbia a couple of weeks ago, but we will be providing free COVID nineteen testing this Friday and Saturday from ten am to three pm at the Trident

Technical College, Thornley Campus. Okay, everyone will be tested and everybody will receive a free COVID nineteen supply kit which comes with a mask and gloves and hand sanitizing all this stuff. You just need to stay safe out here, man. So this Friday and Saturday from ten to three pm Tridon Technical College, Thornley Campus and Charleston, South Carolina, pull up. Tell him, Charlomagne, the Guard sent you all right, and you got a positive note. Yes, man, My positive note

is simply this. Man. I just want to tell y'all what's meant to be yours is already making its way to you. What was never yours is starting to flee from you. With time. It will all make sense for now. Bear the confusion and focus on living fully in the present. Don't let your whole life be I'll be happy when, be happy now, Breakfast Club, y'all, Finish for y'all. Dune
