Oh boy, we got to talk about that in Front Page News Alabama was I mean, if you don't know this story, you haven't seen it on social media, I'm gonna let Tesslim's figure rope break it down. But yes, I was proud. I was happy how we came together to whoop some ass.

It's our own insurrection. Yeah they had January sixth, we got August sixth.

And I am so proud of that one brother who jumped off the boat swam to the shore to whip bass who.

Said black people can't swim.

I know he was tired because when he when he swam over heads short, he had to pull himself up, and he was he was taking him a long time. But he got up and he got the power and he whooped some masks and we'll break all that down in front page.

Dues coming up in a little bit. What you do this weekend? What was I doing? I was outside with my girls this weekend. I've been going out a lot lately. Really, I had six months. I'm just like, no relationship. I'm just having fun. Hot girl summer.

Yeah you should, you know what, you should hung out with me this weekend.

I was first.

I went to Toronto. I was at Caravan to drop a bomb. Everybody went out to Caravana.

That was this weekend.

Yes, it was a huge Caribbean festival. They do it every year in Toronto. I haven't gone the last couple of years because of COVID. It usually gets to about two million people to the city. And I had such a great time at Caravan. It just people out partying, representing their country. I mean I did so many shows, so many festivals, so many parties over the weekend, and then I came back last night.

Now, the Mayor of New.

York City, of course, this is the fiftieth anniversary of hip hop. It's actually this Friday is the day He's doing these festivals and these block parties in every borough. So Queens Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island and last night was Queens and they've been trying to get me to DJ. I didn't know if I was gonna make it happen, but I was able to DJ. And let me tell you, I haven't had so much fun in the long time.

But I did it.

And to see Mob Deep performed shook ones in the middle of that crowd was something to see all the old school turn it up a little bit.

I wish I was I wish I got into town early enough. I love I Love Madie.

Oh.

Like just to see them performing in their own backyard it was a block party, was like close up. I'm sure ten thousand people out there. Big Daddy Kane performed. Now shout all the old school has because it was Big Daddy came Coogi wrapped dead Press, Onyx, Beanie Siegul came out, Roxanne Chante. It was so many people out there, just celebrating, celebrating Queens. And then after they did like

And then, like I said, Teslin figueroes up next, we're gonna be talking about what happened in Alabama. And I pray to God that some of those people don't

He hit the guys with a chair, that was that's cool.

But what but he did hit a chicken. Got chick, was hitting his wife.

She was already down and assists that already taking care of her. But they innocent, all of them. They started it.

Oh well, let's break this good morning owning everybody. It's dj n V Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. We get our guest co host Clodiah Jordan here, and let's get in some front page news. Tesling figure Ohas here, Good morning, Tess.

Good morning DJ and be good morning Claudia good morning.

And let's jump right into it. Alabama.

Yeah, y'all couldn't wait with chomping at the bid on this.

That's right.

Black people are excited everywhere.

I guess to see black folks stand up, you know, I say all the time, it's the time to swing and it's the time to sing, or using the words of Malcolm X. Let's go straight to the report from w SFA. We'll talk about it on the other side.

Tonight, we're following breaking news near Montgomery's river Front Park. A fight beside the river has led to multiple arrests. Welcome to the news at ten. I'm Brady Talbert. A viewer sent us this video, which shows the fight just feet from the water. Of witness claims it started because a pontoon boat was blocking the dock where a riverboat was trying to park. You can see more people jumping in as that fight played out. Well soon after Montgomery

They deserved it, They deserved that ass whipping. I mean, so breakdown what happened. The gentleman was telling them that the boat. He was a security guard working there, right, he was telling him that they couldn't park the boat there because the steamboat was coming in, correct.

Correct, And you know obviously they didn't they didn't want to hear that, and so we clearly saw, you know, they put hands on him first, jumped the security guard.

People were laughing.

He threw his head up in there basically, yeah, so you know, and and folks started jumping in. As Claudia mentioned about, I made a post too saying, you know who said black people can't swim.

They've been calling him aquaman.

I called him a little mermaid's brother, black little mermaid's brother. And so black folks just you know, jumped in and assisted. You did see others who were recording it, you know, from the side, but certainly their brother needed some help. And so as you mentioned, folks or as the report mentioned, folks have been arrested and we put out a call or put out a call yesterday with a lot of attorneys that we were talking to yesterday, and they're looking to offer assistance to these folks.

You need to need help.

Please get at me a teslum figure out on Instagram for those who need. They're willing to help pro bono to make sure that they get you know, adequate representation. Also, a lot of folks are trying to help sending money with cash app and so we're just trying to make sure that we find the right people, you know, to get it to We've made some contact with a lot of the leaders in Alabama, particularly you know, calling for

You know what I don't like about the coverage outside of black media right the way the news report was a fight broke out. No, it was not a fight. A group of white men attacked a black security guard doing his job. And if it was the opposite way around, race would definitely be talked about outside of us. You know, it wasn't a fight that broke out. Call it what it was. It was assaulted. He was assaulted by like six or seven people doing his job. And I don't

Yeah, but you know, you know what I do love about the whole thing a lot of times, a lot of people, especially in our community. We mind our business, right, It doesn't have anything to do with us. But the fact that I've never seen people get so ready so fast. I mean because people were on the boat and that boat was coming in slowly, and I know those people on that boat like, as soon as this boat hits

He's seen that man getting beat up.

He jumped in the water and swam to the shore to get his licks in.

We should have been doing this actually, because we've been with for way too many of us getting beat down in front of a lot of us just filming. So shout out to the people that got involved and got active. I agree, that's it.

And I said that as well. I was saying, you know, normally I say, you know, why are you just filming instead of getting active? But I am glad that they did film this one to put it on the record, because I think, you know, we needed to see it. People needed to see it. They needed to know that everybody's not gonna just sit around and sing songs and pray and cry. So we had enough jumping in and folks also, you know, recording it to put it on the record.

So now what do you think about the brother that picked up the chair with swinging at everybody on the chair.

Hey, when it's going down, it's going down. I'm picking up everything chairs.

That's my that's my point.

If you ever get into it, you see red and that lady was swinging on men. She was swinging on people beforehand. So, like I said, I'll say, allegedly because I want to get to but when when it's when it's red, when it's wartime, I'm picking up everything, I'm swinging everything.

I don't know what you've got now, it is what it is. But I get the emotion.

But of course they're gonna he gonna get it the worst, of course, you know, but I get his mentality. He wasn't wrong, he wasn't wrong.

Well that is front page news. Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Let's discuss what you did this weekend. Were you out and about? Did you go to Caravana? Did you go to some of the festivals. Maybe you out in Alabama, It doesn't matter. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Get it off your chest. Whatever you want to discuss. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast club. This is your time to get it off your chest. Eight hundred

I just want to say about the Alabama Georgian yep.

When it comes to like vice determinist or like TOPLA records, that lay deserved what to hear? I don't see the other woman after you hit the threat and the threat. This is how the versus like general women men.

Whatever it is.

Yeah, I mean people will say that, you know, he shouldn't hit a woman. But you know the fact that they were fighting like that and he got read. I mean, I don't know she was swinging at dudes. I don't know. I'm not in that situation. But if I wasn't ever in a situation like that where I'm trying to protect the brother and they are fighting, I'm swinging at everything moving.

That's just me, honestly, you know, I think those rules go out the window when of the white premisis I agree. Hello, who's this?

Alabama moved me so much, man.

And I just want to say this, man, it was looking like it was it was black people that that had sense, you know, it was sensible black folks, and.

That when I seen them swinging.

I knew they saw nothing but spirits, lady men. Whatever it was, it was bad spirits and it was gold time. And I'm going to work this morning feeling like we off one.

Yeah.

I mean to see those even those black queens running around and getting the little their little two pieces, and was amazing too.

They were holding down the men as well.

I loved.

I love to see us protecting us. I mean a lot of times we don't necessarily get to see that. So the fact that they protected that brother, didn't know that brother, but just wanted to make sure that brother was good.

Man, that made me so happy to see that last night.

It kind of brought me back to the sixties. It kind of brought me back to the sixties, back in the day when we used to be more like that. Yeah, you know what I mean, looking out for each other. And I hope we go back to that because look out strong we are when we rock together.

Yeah, you know, yeah, and and and I thank god that they were there were black people around, because I mean that man could have been there by himself. He could have been murdered, and then he could have he got there, he would have got his ass whip and they.

Would have changed the story. So crazy.

But the fact that, you know, like Tesla said that, you know, sometimes we gotta tape and sometimes we gotta whoop pass, and sometimes we got.

To do both. And it was it felt so good to see both. Hello. Who's this?

Hey, Hello showing stone?

I want to talk about that Alabama situation. Man, it was going down, wasn't. I don't condone violence though anything like that, but you know, sometimes we got stand up for each other as black people.

You know.

So Sean, let me ask you a question. Since you a sanitation drive, right, so you're out and about on the street. So I'm assuming you would see more things like this, like you know, black people getting into incidents. Now, if you were, if you've seen something like this, would you stop your truck and help somebody?

Yes?

I jumped in there.

You see a lot of weird things out here every you know what I mean.

You're caught up in a moment. Get it off your chest.

Eight hundred and five eighty five, one oh five one. Now we got rooms on the way where we're talking about. Oh, we have a lot to talk about. But pop smoke. There's a link with.

The man that was found in a barrel in La with the pop smoke murder. So we're gonna get it. Get into that, all right.

We'll get into that next, So don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.

Good morning, the Breakfast.

Club Owing everybody.

It's DJ Envy, charlomagnea gud we are the Breakfast Club. Charlomagne is out. Our guest co host Claudia Jordan is here. We got to get to the rumors.

Let's talk about our starless co hosts.

Everyone, I mean, where.

Relieve this is the rumor report.

Commy Soldier boys.

Sometimes they say it all on the Breakfast Club.

Jordan's stories are.

If you live long enough, he's gonna have story.

That is very true, very true.

Let's talk now.

Last week, as I was reporting the rumors, Nini Leeks did an interview with Carlos King and they mentioned our girl, Claudia Jordan.

And this is what Ninnie Leek.

Said, Claudia Jordan, starless, who won between you and Claudia and Puerto Rico.

I'm always the winner, and so I obviously won. But I will give Claudia this, although she said the most nastiest things about me, and she's been holding onto a grace for one hundred thousand years, I would have to give I'm gonna give her this. I've read many of girls, honey, and I've been on this show with many girls. I would have to say that she was probably my number

I guess that was a compliment.

It's like saying, you know, Envy, you're a good DJ, but she smell like onions, Like I give you a compliment, but then I will tell you you smell or whatever.

You know what I mean.

So, what's your beef with d I don't have a beef with Nini, and he has a problem. Whenever I have to report on her, people think it's a personal thing. I have a very good sense of humor. I work with comedians. I work with the greats like Jamie Fox, and we used to give it to each other so much harder. Wait, hold on pause. I mean on the air, we used to like say the most personal, like wild things to each other and we would laugh about it. Nani and me. That was light work to me on

I mean, how does it make you feel?

Well?

How much the stardom pay these days? Because I can't call Chase and say, hey, I like to pay my Bentley payment with my stardom. I would rather be starless than jobless, because I don't. I'm not here for like the clout. I like money. I like working, I like, you know, being busy. I like putting other people on.

Home and really be mad. So you're not taking a person, but you feel maybe she is well.

Yeah, and I do understand where she how she feels. She was on that show from day one, right, it blew up. She was a huge part of it, and then she feels discarded. I know how that feels, you know what I mean. So she has a right to feel defensive, But I'm not your enemy girlfriend. I'm not like, cut it out, just say the nice thing, you know, leave a starless thing alone. But I do understand you was asked the question. My thing is, I'm not trying to be a star. I'm trying to be rich. Okay,

Wow.

So yeah, I have a friend that lives in Malleblen when she hit me up before the story came out, and she's like, yo, Claudia is getting crazy around here, Like they found a body in a barrel that washed up down the street from me, and this is why would you think about this retaliation going after the relatives is crazy?

Yeah, well they said that the police don't don't one hundred percent know what happened, if it's part of the pop smoke situation or if it's a part of another situation they made. They believe it could be some gang activity from something else. They're trying to put two and two together to see if it is part of it. But I mean, it's like anything else. When you know, when it's wartime, you know everybody can get touched. Everybody's included. What you're sad, But the.

Family friend said Javonte was a good kid and was not involved in gang activity.

Yeah, that's so sad, sad situation. All right, well that is your rumor report. Now when we come back, we got front page news tesling figure out will be joining us, and doctor Cornell West will be joining us. He's running for president for twenty twenty four independent, the People's Party.

We're gonna talk to him next. It don't move.

It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

Our Audible pick of the day is Snoop Doggs from the Streets to the Sweets. Here's snoops Journey from the Streets to Long Beach, the hip hop legend. Listen when you sign up for a free trial at audible dot com, slash Snoop owning everybody.

It's DJ Envy Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Charlomagne is out. We got our guest co host, Claudia Jordan, and let's get in some front page news testing figure Out.

Welcome back, Yes, welcome back, Hello, Djavy, Good morning beautiful Claudia and the Breverst Club family.

Good morning and all Laker fans out there. I just want to tell y'all that Anthony Davis agreed to NBA's richest annual extension. He has agreed to a three year, one hundred and eighty six million dollar maximum contract extension.

Jesus Christ, that's a lot of money greed.

All right, Well, I'm gonna play the powerball to that.

I think it's that one point five billion, Mega million is one point five one of them is high.

But keep trying. I'm alright, I'm gonna try. I'm gonna leave.

Now.

Let's talk about this goon squad.

Yeah, once again. You know earlier we were talking about, you know, the brother that got jumped by the white men. And again this happens in several several different instances. This is one with the goon squad was white men, white police officers who jumped to a torture two black men. Five former ranking County Mississippi and one from Richly, Mississippi deputies played guilty to charges related to the torture of

On the other side, they became the criminals they swore to protect us from.

They allegedly called themselves the Goon Squad, a group of six white former Mississippi law enforcement officers, giving themselves that Moniker because of their alleged willingness to use excessive force and not to report. Now they've pleaded guilty to federal charges related to an assault that, according to a charging document, included nearly two hours of torture, physical, racist, and sexual

Now, the lawsuit said that they entered without a warning, and again the complaint was about allegedly drug activity, which they did not find, and they were handcuffed, kicked, waterboard as you heard, sexually assaulted.

One was actually shot in the mouth.

He said he would never be the same, and so they have permanent physical damages, long term obviously psychological damage. The sheriff says that he didn't know that this so called goomb squad exists.

Do you guys believe that?

Absolutely?

Not?

Yeah, people talking.

I believe he said he was embarrassed by But I just you know, for this to go on for so long, it's just points to again, you know, going back to the Alabama story, Everybody's not gonna sit around, you know, and allow you to do this. So we have one story where we got folks jumping into the fan the black man. We got this story where you know, two black men were assaulted. This is why you saw the energy that you saw in Alabama. I just want to put it out that people are over it. You know,

What do you guys think, you know, for years, I would hear people say, oh, they want they they they want a race war, they want a race We I'm like, nah, no, no, but it seems like it's unfolding right before our eyes in all areas. Like a security guard, dude is his job at a dock, people at a house that are not really doing drugs, but they say in there and then using what's the obsession with? Like the sexual abuse?

I was gonna ask you what Donald Trump running for president and everything going with him is, do we see things getting worse? Like are we seeing I don't know if it's white supremacy or white on black crimes, or is it getting worse because Donald Trump is putting more pressure.

On well, I mean to me my personal opinion. I mean, this is America, so it's always been going on. But he certainly, you know, when he started running, certainly you know, opened up against the floodgates. If you will, to make people very comfortable, you know what they do and basically saying the quiet part are out loud. Remember when he said stand back and stand by. And remember we covered the story a few weeks ago on the country singer Jason Is at Alden when he said, you know, don't

Well, guess what.

They tried it in a small town in Alabama. And guess what happened. The small town fought back those types of you know, inciting that you see over and over and over. And we heard the gymen say that this had to do with a Trump rally. I didn't want to say that because it's not, you know for a fact, but you know there is conversation saying that because you know there was a Trump rally. I assume somewhere in the area that people are a little bit more turned up.

But I just think that our response.

To that and what you saw with our people is again, people are tired.

Of the constant.

You know, stories like I just covered the constant, George Floyd, the constant, you know, the constant getting beat up, the constant, you know, crying on camera.

No, it was time to do a little bit of swinging back. So you know that that's what it is.

I think this could be a pivotal moment for us because leading up to this, we we did stick around as watch and film. Like I think now with this context, the George Floyd thing, I don't think a lot of us will be sitting around like like I think I've I'm personally motivated myself. There's no more sitting around in filming. I think we're gonna get more active. I think we'n get more involved now. I think this was a big, major moment for us as black people. I really do.

Now, let's talk about this Burger King worker who didn't miss a day of work in twenty seven years.

Yeah.

Now on a positive note, again, this is where you know folks came together. Now, this is I would assume people donated from all over the country. But again, they took care of this brother named Kevin Ford, who was a Burger King employee in Las Vegas. He was surprised of four hundred thousand dollars from his coworkers and other supporters online after he worked for twenty seven years. Now he got after he got the gift from Burger King.

So people said, oh, you know what, let's do something for his brother.

So they started to go fundy page and within a year the campaign raised over four hundred thousand dollars. So it looks like, you know, he definitely got a retirement that's well worth it.

There was another story I was gonna do.

We don't have time to do, but it was about French fries being linked to depression.

So I thought that was interesting.

How is f French fries makes me happy to depression?

It makes me smile, I know it.

I brought that story because last week you were talking about you have to fight to get the French fries every now and then.

But I'll just roll into that speaking of French fries.

But yeah, a research team from China said that twelve percent of anxiety and depression come from folks who eat fried food, particularly French fries. They said they evaluated one hundred and forty thousand people over eleven years, and they found that people that ate the fried potatoes over other things had a.

Two percent increased risk of depression. So envy there you go.

I mean, I'm not gonna fine.

I got some McDonald French fries and I was a little depressed, not because I didn't eat them. I got a small thing of French fries. And everybody knows. I got a twenty month old baby, right and the twenty month old see my French fries. And I had one fry and she killed it.

And I was gonna fight the twenty year old because I was so all I wanted.

You got your oranges, you got your fruit, you got yours.

Let me just have my little French fry. And she ate my whole French fry.

And I was like, we know what that's aside from God telling me I don't need them French fries right there, I.

Think he's still mad at the baby a little bit. It's just a baby and a baby.

Baby.

Give the fry.

But I tried to hide it, right, So she took one.

I tried to hide it, and then she looked at me and just started crying, like, I know, you got them fries behind you.

And it was like either let her cry and give the fries. So I gave it the fries.

It was good.

Fore, well, I saw this story and thought of you. So maybe this would be motivation to stay away from the fries.

So I test and you got a shout out before we leave.

Yeah, I want to give a shout out to our brother Killer Mike. You know I mentioned last week we were doing a Texas tour. He did two shows, one in Houston and one in Dallas. But we did conversations with Killer Mike at two barbershops in Dallas and Houston. I organized that and it was just an amazing conversation, particularly with him and DC. So I'll have that this

Sure, absolutely all right now, when we come back, doctor Cornell West will be joining us. He's running for president for twenty twenty four. He's not Republican, he's not Democrat. He's running the People's Party. That's right independent, So we'll talk to him when we come back. It's the Breakfast Come on BT, the Breakfast Club. Warning, everybody is DJ Envy Charlamagne to God.

We are the Breakfast Club.

We also have Tesla's figure out with us this morning.

And we have a special guest, doctor Cornell Wes Welner.

Oh, you're blessing me. And it's consecrated space, all this rich spirit and stories and narratives and laughter, and you all deal with some serious issues too. And they have an ourdea sister here though indeed, indeed it's Tesla. It's blessing.

How you feel about you here?

Brother? How do you feel today?

Oh? I'm still swinging, man, Yes, sir, I'm still swinging. Don mean the thing if it ain't got that swing, you know what I mean?

And you swing and swinging because you are running for president, so telling people why did you decide to go through that strenuous and stressful thing.

Well, you know, my brother, I've been running for truth and justice all my life though, man, So this is just another context, another moment that we got to be true to the best of all the love and care and integrity that been put inside of US Man. For me, that's Irene Clifton West as mom and dad. The shallow Baptist Church on the Chocolate sign of Sacramento, that's the Black Panther Party. We set the highest standards of integrity, honisty, decency,

To be here. Brother.

You know, I see that the Democrats and a lot of progressives are saying they wish you wouldn't run, saying that your presidential big could cripple President Biden's potential run.

How does that feel to be that kind of threat, to be that kind of disruptive.

Well, it's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing. That's what it means to U to be a servant of the people. You see that Harriet Tuppman was a threat to the white supremacist order. Frederick Douglas was a threat. That's why he put a bonne on his head. I'd be wells was a threat against lynching and American terrorism. Jimmy James Cord, that's why they put a bonney on his said Martin King, Montole, Fanny lou Hamer. They were threats.

Biden?

You was an architect of it with a white supremacist's name, Thurmon was strong. What are you doing about mass incarceration? I want to know. If you're not doing about it, how am I spoiling your votes. You're not speaking to the needs of my people. You're not speaking to the needs of those who are suffering. So I'm not a spoiler. I'm casting a spotlight on that which you don't want to to terms with. If you were really concerned about

I was gonna ask, you know, when you talk about body and then you see the amount of support that a lot of our community gives, what's your biggest hurdle with making sure that those people that support it, Biden and with all the effects that he's done to us, support you.

Well, one is that I do recognize if we black folk have always been between a rock and a hard place. Henry Holland Garnett gave that famous speech of eighteen thirty seven in Philadelphia, way he said, Black people must never confuse our situation with that of the Israelites in the Hebrew scripture. For us, Pharaoh is on both sides of the bloody red sea. That's real. So that's the fear too, you see. So Biden in a Democratic party can just say,

Somebody we have no way out.

Somebody sing a song, Somebody tell a story about the love of your child and the love of your loved one. That's the only thing, Keith, Black folk going think about Jim Crow. South Carolina, where you've come from? Brothers that right, yoah asolute, that's a lesbian, that's James Brown, That's how And what was it about South Carolina just like Mississippi, the only two states that had a majority of black people?

What does that meant?

That meant that the level of terror and trauma against this brother's family was even more intense white because they were scared. You say, these black folk get together. They might want to create a decent society for them, and a decent society for them, mean we're gonna have to give up some power, give up some resources, give up something. And unfortunately, you know, we're living in such a moment's spiritual decay, not just in the nation, but in Black America.

You know, when you hear allies, well, I guess allies are yours? Like aocc Cornell West is too big of a risk because of the electoral college and the fact you may take some of those votes. What do you think of people like that? Because they're progressive? Shouldn't they want these issues on the ticket? Shouldn't they want somebody like you on the ticket bringing up these issues?

Right?

Don't know it's true. And that's wonderful question though, because it's mean you've got a progressive slice in the Democratic partner. I was with brother Bernie, as my dear sister knows, twice. They treated him badly, they treated him unjustly. They rigged the whole thing. You had Hillary Clinton and the others were going to ensure that he did not win no matter what. So at the core of the Democratic Party is a rot and that rottenness is corporate greed. And

All right, we got more with doctor Cornell West.

When we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, ng.

Everybody is DJ Envy, Charlomagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with doctor Cornell West. And I don't forget Charlomagne is out. So if you want to give somebody donkey of the day, eight hundred five eight five one o five one phone lines, wide open eye, let's get back to doctor Cornell West, says the figure ro sat in with this interview with us doctors.

You are right.

The progressive movement, it started out, you know what.

Everybody excited and it happened well before Bernie Sanders. But everybody will feel the burn, feel the burn, and now that burn is kind of fizzled out because there is current, a current split.

How do we hold people like AOC accountable.

That say, you know, and I'm just using her for example, piggyback on off Charlemagne's question. But what do we do for those that said, no, we're gonna push the line, we're gonna go hard, and then they flip.

Yeah, we just gotta tell the truth, tell the truth and humility and the truth of the jagged edge in Janet's face, which is to say, it has a number of different dimensions to it. It comes back at us and it goes at others. No one of us have a monopoly on truth. Truth is bigger, justice is bigger, Beauty is bigger, Love is bigger. But we got to

That means somebody's not doing something right. You ain't lying right.

You got this Black reversional Caucus's been in there all that time, and I'm out there lecturing and writing and so forth and so on, and then all of a sudden, I got this leverage. But I can tell you one thing. They're gonna have to put me in the grave before I sell out Black people, because I ain't selling out my mama. Oh I'm not selling out my daddy.

No.

They were always greater than me, great in love, greater in wisdom.

You see.

So when I have leverage, I don't look at the black community. Wy my brother Tavis Smiley said so many other politicians do as some political calculation.

No, I'm not at all.

These are the people that love me, me into my sanity, into my dignity. It's like me giving up Curtis Mayfield Opten for the beach Boys.

I'm not gonna do it.

I ain't got nothing.

That's right, ain't my thing, No, no, no, I want to hear someone near the baker, you know what I mean?

That's right?

Oh yeah.

I love the disruption you causing.

And you know, you know, like you know you're a threat when everybody is saying you're going to be a threat. But I also see the media they're not wasting no time attacking you because now they're saying you owe a half a million dollars in taxes, and they're trying to say it's hypocrisy on your part because you spent so much of your life advocating for high your taxes on

Everything's absolutely And the thing is, I mean, I told you before I got so much gangster in me. I was a gangst before. I'm at Jesus, I ain't nothing but a redeemed center with gangster proclivities. So that this whole lot of things. Anytime you know, you shine, you shine a flashlight under somebody's clothes, you're gonna find all kind of message, because that's what it is to be human. But the thing is one you don't wanna lie about it. I'm gonna tell the truth. I go to the grave

Brother. That's the truth.

And it's partly because you know, I do like to give them to love ones and others too, but I take responsibility for it too. But it don't make no difference to me. What's interesting is you want to use it as a distraction. Why don't you keep the focus on the suffering that I'm highlighting. Go to Harlem, go to Brooklyn, go to South central l A. Go to south side Chicago. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm concerned about. But they used to do the same thing.

Three. Don't forget mister Fara Khon, Well.

That's true too. Now, miss a little Farra Calls is free. You absolutely right you have. And he's very much tied drawnnable Elijah Mohammad definitely and in that sense the minutes of a little Shara Khan. He is a kind of son of in that way you see. But what what what muhammada Adid do, Muhammad Ali roper do? You got to get your timing right. That's what the jazz musicians say, right.

That's who we got.

You mentioned in one of your interviews how we should be taking notice to all of these strikes going on so a moment ago you said, you know, the Democrats were saying, hey, all is well the economy as well. Break down to the people how you talked about, you know, it can't be going too well because people are striking everywhere.

That isn't that the truth? Thank God the mighty Amazon brother, Chris, I thought we were gonna have striking you at ups, but they called it off the last minute and got a deal. But you got to continually engage because see, class struggle is inescapable in the capitalist society. You have to be very honest about that. And the end and aim is always to squeeze from the worker what you can to make the profits as high as you can.

All right, we got more with Doctor Cornell West. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Waning everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Doctor Cornell West. I don't forget. Charlomagne is out.

So if you want to give somebody.

Donkey of the day eight hundred five eight five one five one phone lines of Wide Open Eye, let's get back to Doctor Cornell West, Charlomagne.

How do you feel?

Did you hear Meek Mill say recently that the record labels pay? Are this more to rap about negativity?

Oh, there's no doubt. I mean the three albums that I did, you know, I was blessed to work with Prince and Gerald of Vert and Probable and Jill Scott and Rod Digger and whole host of Carrus one and so forth. To My album Never Forget came out two thousand and seven, and we went to a variety of different labels, and they said, we don't want this political crap. We want G string music. String music, that's the language they use.

That's somebody from a label said that, Oh yeah, what label? Do you remember the label Clyde Davis and them, Wow, that's who it was. Wow, that's who it was.

And I said to myself, I didn't say it because again I just listened and is taking it in Well, Actually I said something like, you know, I don't have anything against G string. I'm a Christian. I'm a Christian, but I'm not a Puritan. You love, A good orgasm has its role and has its place. I don't think we all to just hook up with orgasm machines for the rest of our lives and just continually no no stop and having a little conversation, stopping to have some relation.

On if you win. If you do win, what would that do for our community? You think, well, the.

First thing I'm gonna do is I told them my blessed wife again. I said that I'm not going to the White House until everybody has a house.

Let me see.

So we're gonna be spiritual servant leadership, meaning what then we're gonna talk about abolition. We're gonna bring back troops eight hundred military units around the world. America doesn't have to be an empire forcing every nation to succumb to its domination. America to be a nation among nations. We spend fifty seven cent for every dollar on military. We could be using that to wipe our poverty. We can

You ready for that?

Oh, I've been ready for that all my life.

That's right.

Black love is a crime in a white supremacist world. Anybody who falls in love with black people will be criminalized in a white supremacist.

We've seen it having so many times.

Every major black leader we had who fell in love with us criminalized, character assassination, literal assassination, marginalization, incarceration, moony y'all, blue Jamal. We can go on and on the rube all so many just a Shaicura Asada and others.

Kind of Tupac question. I want to know what what do you think Republicans are getting right? And what are they getting wrong? What do you think Democrats are getting right? What do you think they're getting wrong?

Yeah? I think the Republicans get one thing right. They've had historically in the last fifty years, a certain fear of centralized government undermining liberties. Now they've given that up recently because the neo Fascis have taken over. Because for me, you see, I believe in workers' control. I have a suspicion of government too, and it's partly because of the kind of surveillance and cointael pro and the ways in which government has assets to powers of surveillance of each

And see what that said. I don't understand how come the Green Party.

Isn't able to make more of an impact because they are a viable, I would think, a viable alternative to this two party system that people claim to be sick of.

Well, part of it is the Green Party itself has never made it a major priority to empowerable either. Am I telling the truth about even absolutely. They concerned about the environments, rightly, so, they concerned about capitalism rightly, so, they're concerned about patriarchy rightly, so patriarch in relation to black sisters, Brown sisters, Indigenous sisters, Middle Eastern sisters, and so forth, Yes, in principle, but not a priority. Not

How do you support your campaign? Brother?

We got the website.

Cornel West twenty four dot org dot org.

Yeah, you got going ahead.

To donate, the volunteer all of that Cornel West twenty four dot org.

We appreciate you, brother for joining us this all.

But you all stay strong because that I said, this is consecrated space. Mask people who come through here, the musicians, the artists, the leaders, the Yesterday you had the brothers wrestling with the ghetto chef and the food and the mother in front of the prisons and things. This is this is the space. This is like the ring shout place, you know, and on the slavery was against the law for us reading writers, against the law for us to

What's so?

It is here on fifty fifth Street?

All right?

Three?

We call this the Black Mothership.

That's right, Black Mothership. That's oh now is that Son Raw is at George Clinton?

And then George Clinton.

It's doctor Cornell West and it's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning, Good morning everybody. It's d j n V Charlamagne de Goude. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest co host Clodia Jordan here. And let's get to rumors.

Everyone where I really this is the rumor reports the boys. Sometimes they say it downstake.

On the Breakfast Club. Jordan's stories are great.

If you live long enough.

What's gonna have?

That's very true?

Very true?

What's okay? Taylor? Taylor made it on another intro. I like that one. Yeah, that's all. That was cute. Okay, not like Soul's boy. My stories are true. Here's true too, all right, Jamie Fox and Jennifer Anathon, listen, there's a whole bunch of backlash. He received backlash for a social media posts that it shared regarding fake friends. The post said they killed this dude named Jesus. What do you think they'll do to you? Hashtag fake friends, hashtag fake love. Well.

The only anti thing I got from that post was anti friends, and the post had less to do with that and more to his statement of fake friends. I'm sure with somebody in his life that was a fake friend. And he was saying and in our culture we've said things like this before. I don't think he was attacking any group at all. You're like, come on, it's to the point where people are being too sensitive now. I guess people felt offended, so he decided to take it down and apologize.

But he wasn't going at any group.

He was talking about a friend that I'm sure did him dirty, and that's what he was trying to compare it.

To white people. White people, this is for you, as this is your black sided whiteside, and this is my black sides speaking right now, okay, and speaking to my mama and to all the white folks out there. There's things and our community that is we don't have to explain because it's understood.

Correct.

Who's grandma did not tell them? Baby? If they killed Jesus, What do you think they'll do to you? That's something that we say. It means if the most perfect human that we've ever heard of, I known of perfect being was murdered or killed and people betrayed him, don't think you're better than That has nothing to do with anti Semitism. It's unbelievable that and I honestly I don't feel that

Yeah, everything is intention right, and his intention wasn't to offend anybody. And I mean, and that's clear. The problem is is people get offended by anything. We've seen it happen when Lizzo said something, had to take something out of one of her records. We seen it when Beyonce and Beyonce had to take something out of her record. That's cultural things that we've said. Now, if it was

The problem is everybody wants to be a victim, and everyone's like, I'm offended. Back in our day growing up, we're close to the same age, right, that used to build character. Even if you were offended by something, you would learn how to rebound from that or have a

Yeah, but pause, no, no, But I will also say this, and I'm sure Jamie probably have a lot of fans, a lot of follows that are Jewish, and maybe they felt a way about it, and he wanted to be like, you know what, that wasn't my attention and if you felt that way, I'm sorry, But I don't think.

People took it like that. I just think people took look for a story and took that story ran with it. And shame on you, Jennifer Anison, because I like you and I feel like you put a battery in people's backs with that. He really did all right. Moving on Neo apologizing to the LBGTQ community for recent remarks. He recently did an interview with Glory Valais on blad TV Now. During his interview, he gave his personal opinion on children and gender identity. Let's take a listen.

I have no issue with with the lb G. I have no problem with none of yet with nobody. They love, we love, do what you do exactly. I just personally come from an era where a man was a man and a woman was a woman, and it wasn't but two genders, and that's just how it rocked. I feel like parents have almost forgotten what the role of a parent is. It's like, Okay, if your little boy comes to you and says, Daddy, I want to be a girl, and you just let him rock with that.

You just let he's five And where did he get that here?

If you let this.

Five year old boy decide to eat candy all day, he's gonna do this. Exactly when did it become a good idea to let a five year old, let a six year old letter twelve year old make a life changing decision for their self?

Where's the lie? Where's the lie? But then he with much pressure, he was forced into an apology. He said, after much reflection, I'd like to express my deepest apology to anyone I may have hurt with my comments on parenting and gender identity. I've always been an advocate for love and inclusivity in the LGGTQ community. So I understand how my comments may have been interpreted as insensitive and offensive. It goes on and on and on, once again, another

Yeah, I mean I feel like, as a parent, you decide to parent your kid the way that you want to parent your kid.

I'm with you.

I feel that at age five six, I don't want my kids to be thinking about sex, not at all, not any type of sex, right, And it's not just a LBGT. I think he's straight sex, not gay sex, not any type of sex. I don't want any type of sex references at the age of five and six, and not even at the age of ten. I have a ten year old, a nine year old. I had to start counting. One is about to be seven, and one's about to be two, and that's not something that I even want on their mind. I want them to

No?

But if Neil wants to raise his kids. I think he has a lot of them. He can raise them the way that he wants to be. And I don't have a problem with that.

So I mean, what do you say? And there is an argument right to the critics, I will say, hey, but you know, I want my kid to feel comfortable living in their truth correct And they say they recognize that our early and I do believe that. I you believe children, some children are born, They're born that way. You know what I mean? Like, I don't want to stifle them, right, I just think we should talk less about sex and more about kid things. Yeah, I'm not.

I'm never going to stifle how my kid feels, or what my kid wants or what my kid thinks that they him or her wants. But I will try to lead a life as a kid. When I was a kid, I was a kid. I played I played video games, I played baseball. I did whatever I wanted to do. My parents didn't stifle me, but I also didn't have Like I'm a grown ass man.

And I still haven't had a conversation with the birds and bees with my mom and.

My dad yet. I'm still waiting for that conversation. Dad I know you're listening.

Everyone.

We still didn't have that conversation, but that's what it was. We didn't have that conversation. When we get to a little older age, when there teens and it's more and then they won't have that conversation. But right now, I just want my kids to be kids, just play, have fun, enjoy life, support.

Them without stifling them. But I don't encourage any kind of sex talk until they're.

A little older.

Maybe I feel the same way. All right, were on the same page. A right, Y'll be mad if y'all want you whatever. That's what we think. And I think we got to get back to your point where we can have opinions on things without it being called a phobia.

The boat's coming in and you're seeing this altercation happen on the dock.

So explain everything that happened.

Okay, So we were like on the stop. We were waiting to get on like the ferry boat, and we just had a little thing we could have books for my cousins, a private party where different cycle you know, where's the cycle. While the boats going and the hitter boat and Harriet.

Was trying to come in.

The smaller boats went in.

A way they were trying to move the boat and the security they caused it to me and basically they started unhensing the boat and booting at bat and the guy the white women that went down there, you know it with a lot of skin swoining stuff like that, and then the white guy just hitting them and all of the people that was come out on the thing wherever, but all of them jumped on him.

I'm you, the Harriet is now on like cutting closer to the docks. So like the crew members, everybody saw it. But instead of your quotes throwing up.

There something going on by their basis, some of them blankstot got back in their boat that sat there. So that's why we see the gentlemen and now everybody jumping off the boat. It's because they saw them jump on his bed and literally got on their boat like what happened to them, And that's why when the boat got close and they were able to leap over and one individual, I think he was sixteen years old, he.

Swam over while.

They were doing it. That's why they did that. That's why they because yeah, it's literally all he's all pretty guard asking.

To do was to loose your boat.

And it went from there was a sixteen year old Was he on your boat that you were on? Did he jump off the boat you were on?

No, No, he was on the Harriet.

We were on the dock, okay, waiting to vote on a smaller little like you know, excursion but you kettle and your dream and you know party that his boat.

Couldn't come in either because.

Of their boats were in the way. So they asked him to move their boat and some reason, whatever the case may be decided to.

See, I'm the gentleman with the chair, that is me. I'm not a fair fighter. I never know what somebody has in their back pockets. I'm not playing any games. I'm grabbing a chair, knocking you off. And I am very surprised I didn't see more people in the water because I'm pushing everybody in the water. He said, everybody's going in the water.

Good morning?

This is shine from Detroit.

He ain't showing what up, Doe. So what's Detroit doing?

Now?

You see a brother in distress?

What you doing, Mama?

Well, because I'm from Detroit, I'm from East seven, I gotta be careful. I don't want to just get the swinging on people and I don't know who right or who's wrong. I stand for my people one hundred percent, but I go to Smith, Karen or Baby and find out we know we wrong. You couldn't hit baby kid or something. Now we all in jail with the stupie.

So you you're gonna you wanna analyze first.

You're gonna sit back and say, all right, let me find out who's right or wrong first, and then you're gonna start whooping ass exactly.

I got white friends and black plans, so yeah, I get it, but I'm gonna always say it for my people first.

Okay, I gotta know what's going on.

But the white side don't do that. They all jumped on that guy without even though he was just doing his job, you know what I'm saying. So we gotta return energy. Sometimes I think you.

Know I saying, Claudia, I'm sorry, I can't. Yes, Claudia, Yes, you're right, you start right. They did Joe with their brother when he was just doing his job.

That's right. So we give them more courtesy than they give us. So I think the daisy to be over. Hello, who's this.

Charlie from the Troit you know, Detroit on the line heavy. When I started talking about a fighting topic, Detroit call it so crazy.

Bro.

So Charlie, what's up? You see a man in distress?

What you dom?

Man ain't no herd.

If I can't jump in that the only.

Way I can't say it's not gonna happen.

My wife probably.

Would lose her marble for fear of what could happen.

Right, But man ain't no way. It can't go down without like that.

I'm with you because when I look at that brother, I look at my father, my uncle, my brother, like you look at a family member, and especially if it's a black woman, I'm looking at mama, grandmama.

My sister, my daughter.

You know what I mean.

You're just looking at to really just to beat up anybody that that that mess with them.

Hello, who's this?

Yoe?

Detroit? Yo? Yellow colored in Eli.

When I start mentioning physical fighting, Detroit calling so crazy because you gotta.

I wish you was a boat called and here you're here and Nick County and the doing this, the tears. I've been talking to you in the water episode.

Elijah can't curse.

So I so imagine that party I did in Detroit two weeks ago, right, you know, right on the water side, and a brother was getting beat up by some white folks.

What's happening, man, that's.

The whole entire crowding out there.

The whole crowd would have whipped his ass.

Yeah, he ain't thrown in the order too. We had a boat like the Princess, they probab would have put up under it.

Damn it man A thank you. Let me go to one more caller. Hello, who's this yo?

Hevy was good?

Miss Mitch? Where you call it from?

I'm calling from Atlanta?

Atlanta? All right?

Now you see a brother in distressed, Mitch, Mitch, what you're doing?

Mitch?

Oh yeah, smoke, it's going all the way up. You already know it's twenty twenty three.

You already know it was the other way around.

We went to end up. You know, we gotta gotta support our people.

We gotta fight for our people.

Man, if we can keep this energy going and then start dealing with each other, like stop stop the nonsense between us. We can be so powerful. I'm with you. I am totally with you. Go to Twitter and look at black Twitter. They are going and they had a meme of a Timberland pull up to a doc and had the SS dead ass on it. Like there was so many funny memes all over social media. Like go to black Twitter and just just google it. It's so funny. Jesus Christ.

I mean, I will say this, I love the fact that we all stood up and roll with each other. I just pray to God that you know, in other situations we could ride ride with each.

Other more often.

I mean there's so many times where a lot of times we go against each other and not even know anything. It was good to see that that we supported that brother, we helped that brother and had that brother's back.

But it doesn't stop there.

We got to continue to support our own we gotta to continue support our own businesses. We got to continue to support, support, support, support, and I don't think we should stop until we support each other.

And there's an art even to be made that they the brothers that did jumping and the sisters perhaps could have prevented a murder. That guy could have been murdered, correct, like it was eight on one. They could have stopped him until he was done breathing, you know what I mean. And no one got killed, So we can make a light of the situation. But I do like that, you know, the brother was protective.

All right.

Now, we got rooms on the way. But we're talking about Yo.

A big story with Kai Sannat and how they are coming for his neck. Will got more on that when we get back.

All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning everybody. It's j n V Charlamagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got our guest co host Claudia Jordan.

Fun Times here. Good morning.

I'm just come, yes, I am. Well, let's get to the rooms.

Let's go.

Everyone where Really the rumor reports.

Toy soldier boys.

Sometimes they say it sounds fake.

On the breakfast Flood, Jordan's stories are.

If you live long enough, he's gonna have story that is very true. So all right. Twitch star high Sonata is being charged with the felony and two misdemeanors after his free PlayStation giveaway in New York City went left Now. He collaborated with another influence of Fenom to give away five PlayStations and Union Square. What can whatever could go wrong? Well, the two invited there are millions of followers to join them in New York City at four pm for the giveaway.

Now.

According to the police, the crowd grew around three pm, spilling into surrounding areas. It really got crazy. It's reported that most of the crowd was peaceful, but a handful of attendees began throwing rocks, bottles, and building materials out of others in the crowd. Police ended up detaining sixty five people, including Kai Sanat. Nearly half of them were juveniles and uh, I don't want to call him with that,

Is a influencer. Kai Sanat was released from police custody today after yesterday's chaos.

In Union Square.

Police issued a desk appearance ticket to Sanat, which requires him to appear in court on August eighteenth. He faces charges of inciting a riot and promoting an unlawful gathering after Sainat's giveaway event turned violent. Today, Mayor Adams spoke about the investigation into the giveaway event, saying he believes other people could also be responsible for the riot.

You don't come to get free game boys and bring smoke bombs and bring madis and bring other disruptive items, and so we believe there were some outside influencers that may have attempted to aggravate this situation.

Now, as far as Costino's concerned, I mean he's an influence. He has a large influence, and with influence also comes responsibility. I don't think he wanted this. I don't think he intended for this to happen. I think he was just trying to do something nice. For his followers and his fans, and it got out of control. But a lot of times we gotta think, you know, he didn't think. I'm sure he didn't think what ten thousand people are going

Let me give away PlayStations of people and people love that, right, and you're giving you're actually giving back. What's wrong with the people that showed up with smoke bombs and Minty's? What were y'all thinking? Why would you go to giveaway with that?

Like?

What was did y'all have a conversation, like a private conversation like let's go turn up on this? Why would you do that? And now your boy that's trying to give y'all something is in trouble now, correct and Erry Adams mayor Adams, I'm not calling you. You are outside. He did well, he thought adjacent. He in them streets a lot. Is there a first lady here in New York? I don't think there's the first lady? But he wants to touch it.

He wants to touch the soil. He wants to see what's going on. They just to breathe the street. He wants to see the street. As an ex NYPD, so he's used to being out there in the streets, so that's what he's doing.

He's definitely touching the soil. Eric all right, y'all moving on. Speaking of touch in Usha comments on Keiki Palm's breakup and now we all know about the infamous scene where Usher was singing to Keiki Palmer and her baby daddy Darius Jackson. You know, he took the social media to share his disdain for how Kekey was carrying herself as a mother in the footage. You know how it went viral. Usher has been called by Lauren Lorossa, who was here

He pulls up women that you know, especially a famous that he knows is gonna go viral, and I don't have a problem with that. People have done that all through the times.
