So we

could talk about that amongst other things. You know, where ninety what nineties five days until the election, ninety five ninety six, roughly around that time. I don't don't quote me on that, but we're close, so we got things to discuss, that's right. All right, Well, let's get the crack in front page news. What we're talking about. Well, let's talk about John Lewis and his funeral yesterday. President Barack Obama actually gave the eulogy, and we have part

of that for you. All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping lock this to breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is j Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the gad We all the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news. Where were starting you? Well? Yesterday was John Lewis's funeral service in Atlanta, Georgia, and well and it was a complete week memorial services that have in to remember him. Former President Barack Obama delivered a eulogy celebrating John Lewis's life.

Here is what he said. To honor him, Do you want to honor John? Let's honor him by revitalizing the law that he was willing to die for and by the way, naming it the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. That is a fine tribute. But John one want us

to stop there. Once we pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, we should keep marching to make it even better by making sure every American is automatically registered to vote, including former inmates who've earned their second chance, by adding polling places and expanding early voting, and making election day a national holidays. Yes. In addition, here is more of

what Barack Obama had to say about John Lewis. I guarantee that every American citizen has equal representation in our government, including the American citizens who live in Washington, d c. And in Puerto Rico, by ending some of the partisan jerry mandering, so that all voters had the power to choose their politicians, not the other way around. And if all this takes eliminating the filibuster another Jim Crow relic in order to secure the god given rights of every American,

then that's what we should do, all right. In addition to that, he did get a standing ovation, and here's what he said. And a lot of people were excited that he said this because this is against Donald Trump. But today we witness with our own eyes police officers kneeling on the necks of black Americans. George Wallace may be gone, but we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas in batons against peaceful demonstrators.

But even as we sit here, there are those in power who are doing their darndest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations and targeting minorities and students with restrictive idea laws and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision, even undermining the postal service in the run up to an election that's gonna be dependent on mail in ballots so people don't get sick. You know, President Obama is absolutely right, but I really do wish he

would name names. Like he's too vague, Like when you say, you know, somebody's the new George Wallace, the new bull Conna. You gotta you gotta say their names. Who are these people are? You gotta call people out directly. That's one of the things that the right does very well. They aim at a target and name that target and vilify that target, make that target radioactive. If this is the most dangerous election ever that we can't throw subliminals, you

know who exactly in the federal government. Who is the power the power that powers that beat out of doing this. You got a name names. Well, yesterday Donald Trump tweeted out with universal mill in voting that absentee voting, which is good, twenty twenty will be the most inaccurate and fraudulent election in history. It will be a great embarrassment to the USA to lay the election until people can properly,

securely and safely votes. Yep, so everybody, And later that afternoon, he tweeted out, we are going to win the twenty twenty election. Big hashtag maga. There's nothing that could be more fraudulent than the twenty sixteen election. You know, we still don't know how Donald Trump exactly got into the White House. Okay, a lot of people say he's a illegitimate president. And also Joe Biden told us a few weeks ago that Donald Trump was going to um try to get the election pushed back, and a lot of

people wanted the rights. That he was tripping and he was bucket and he was crazy. But that's who Trump is. I don't think Trump's gonna lead a White House. I said that about a year ago. Come get him if he if he loses in November, you're gonna have to go get him. He's leaving the White House. Don't say agent out there rounding people up in Portland. They're gonna be out there protecting Donald Trump come January twentye for whatever day it is that he's gonna have to exit

if he loses. All right, And yesterday every NBA player who restarted the NBA season nailed during the national anthem wearing Black Lives Matter shirts just as an FYI. TU, So, I don't know if you guys saw this, but the Utah Jazz beat the New Orleans Pelicans one or six to one on four and the Lakers beat the Clippers one o three one on one. All right, yeah, I saw some of the Lakers game. I'm gonna be honest with you. The Lakers Clippers game was dope. It looks

like a video game. I like it. I like the camera as I like everything. They got the fake they got the fake crowd on the wall, they got the noises like it feels like you're playing two K or something. It does. It really feels like something. It's still feeling, but I get it. Yeah, not to me. I was watching the last thing. I was like wow. Inside the NBA was popping, like I was like, Okay, maybe we haven't had it for so long that I'm just happy

to have something. But it looked good to me. All right, last front page news, get it off your chests eight hundred five eight five one on five one. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.

Yes, Um, I just wanted to say that I agreed with you guys or about President Obama doing a good job with the eulogy, but I disagreed with Charlomon um saying that he needed to name names, because um, it makes some like you're saying that, Um, you know, the people aren't smart enough to figure it out. The people that are that are listening to him and are smart enough to understand what he's saying between the lines, they're they're smart

enough to know who he's talking about the government too. Yeah, but what about the ones who aren't. What about the casual person who's just watching John Lewis's funeral and may want to vote in November, but hasn't decided yet. See that's why that's Fox News is so good. I watched Fox News this week and they've vilified sending the Kamala Harris. They vilified Karen bass Like and you know, those are the those are a couple people that's on Biden's shortless.

They vilify the people on the left that they're afraid of. And that's what the that's what the left needs to do to the right. Why not you're saying, basically, you know, get down to their level, get down and dirty. Michelle Obama says, when they go low week, go high. No, man, but this is an election. Man. They called into the

Kamala Harris for fraud, But this is an election. You have to point out the threat and vilify it and say we need to get that person out of the White House period Like why why just past the wide net and be vague at a time like this? No? What? All right? Well, thank you for checking in, brother, thank you clus get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one on five one. If you need to vent hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,

the Breakfast Club. I'm I'm telling what's you doing of yo, if this is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. Eight hundred five eighty five one five one. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this good? Hey? What's up? Trap? Oh my god? Tram? I miss you? Hey, Trav, miss you? Brew? What's up with you? I'm good, I'm good. That's good, going on, Charlotte Magne, what's up? Siss and chilling? Chilling?

Hey man, y'all know who I'm like, really really tired of just not hilarious Hill. I don't like risk, really really sick of her ass. Bro, Mad the Stallion really said, stop playing with my name, stop laughing that stuff is not funny. Protect black woman. And you know what this black woman does the very next day, She makes a video making fun to make the Stallion anyway, Bro, Like, something's wrong with that lady, Like, something is truly wrong with her. She can only get lights and views off

being negative and trying to be funny. Like it really irritates me, Bro. Yeah, we talked about that yesterday. I didn't think that timing and that joke was funny, especially because Make the Stallion's been saying, you know this was not funny. I am traumatized. What irritates me is when Traf calls a pin act like we ain't got the internet, like you're putting us onto something something. Remember I called you on last week and I told you about Tom

Hanks and what he was doing. I just wanted to say, three days ago, um, he said that he went overseas because he him and his wife was quarantining. But three days ago him and his wife are now citizens of Greece. Just saying it's a little funny. If I was Tom Hanks, I would sue the hell out of all of y'all. Okay, the Internet is ruining Tom hanks reputation, but absolutely no proof, no evidence, no nothing like how like why is that okay? And why do y'all believe that? I don't know? Now

that's the story. People probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Hello, who's this? This is this Kevin? I want to call. I'm real happy for this young brother man he called up a while back, and I'm a following number since he called up and sang his song for y'all, and I guess he dropped some last night called Heart Heart and Soul. That's Heart and Soul by Treezy two times t R E e Z why two X and man, it's on all platforms. He's real talented. Man,

I'm a fan. I'm really a fan of him. I mean, he produced his own beats. He runs track number thinking number one in the country and hurdles, man, And I just hopefully he heared this because I know he called up one time, so hopefully he heared this. And yeah, make sure y'all go check him up, man, please, number one it hurdles. What's hurdles? Hur or that don't even the record of hurdles nor no his song now you jump over to her urdles in track Yeah, two different things.

He didn't put a period, shall man, he just had to run on sentence. That's why you confused. Oh he's saying that he had a lot of hurdles, but he got the song out. No, no, no, no runs tracks also as an artist, and it's also an artist. No, he's not he said the track you said, No, he said the track is called hurdles. No no, no no, no, his track is called Heart and Soul. But he does

track two. Oh, so he didn't put a period, So maybe come out Heart and Soul by Treezy two times for he on all platforms and it is on his ig two at Jabari dot Brown with two ends. May please go check him out to do this talented for real? All right? Did I get the irony of it? Though he's on tracks any jump runs hurdles? All right? That was a lot right there, Get it off your chests. Eight hundred five eight five one on five one. Now

we got rooms on the way. Yes, And with all the talk about Ellen de Generous and the problems that her staff has had and visitors on her show and what they had to say about it being a terrible work environment, Ellen de Generes is now addressing her staff and we have that memo. All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping locked this to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning. Everybody is cj Envy angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. Let's get

to the rumors. Let's talk Loon. Listen, oh Gosport got Breakfast Club. Yes, former bad boy artist Loon was released from prison. He served ninety years. According to reports, he's gonna lay low take care of his mom now that he's home. He said, my mother recently had a heart attack and had to get surgery and get a loop recorder implantation. She's in her late sixties. I've already lost my grandfather since I've been incarcerated, and do not wish to lose her before my release. She could use my

assistance to help care for her. My grandmother is ninety and she is also ailing. So there was a picture of him that's already surfaced on the internet, the first picture that everybody's seen since he has been released. Since he was in jail, he converted to Islam, changed his name to a mayor, Junied Muhadith, and also reportedly gave up rap. Happy that he's home and free. Happy, you know, he did his time and you can, you know, continue to live the rest of his life as a free

mass Loue to that brother, loan shout the loan. All right. Now, let's talk about Ellen Degeneras and the toxic workplace allegations. A lot of people have been discussing this, staffers, former staffers, guests who have been on her show, just basically saying she's not a nice person. So she did send out a memo and they also have reported that employee at a WarnerMedia's employee relations group and a third party firm would interview former and current staff members about the allegations.

So in that memo, she said, Hey, everybody's Ellen. On day one of our show, I told everyone in our first meeting that the Ellen Degenerous Show would be a place of happiness, no one would ever raise their voice, and everyone would be treated with respect. Obviously, something changed, and I am disappointed to learn that this has not been the case. And for that I am sorry. Anyone who knows me knows it's the opposite of what I

believe and what I hoped for our show. She goes on to talk about the success that she's had with everyone's contributions, and she also says that I'm glad the issues at our show were brought to my attention. I promised to do my part in continuing to push myself and everyone around me to learn and grow. It's important to me and to everybody who makes and she wants to make it so that people love working on the show. Again.

Now I'm confused. People want are saying Ellen is not a good person, But the last article pointed out that it was the executive producers and the executive producer, Ed Glavin actually the party yesterday he stepped down. So which one is it? Is it Ellen that's not a good person or the executive producer the executive producer step down yesterday. I think it's been both. There's people who have had interactions with her that they've spoken about where she was

not very nice. And then there's people who also say that it's the staffers that would tell you you're not allowed to talk to her, you can't look her in the eye. You know, she's not They would do things like if she was going to be a guest on somebody else's show, you know, just whittled things down. So maybe they anticipated having a sit down with her, then

they're like, Okay, she's actually not going to come. Have to sit down when she comes to the studio, would only be ten minutes instead of the hour they were supposed to get. It's just all two kinds of different allegations from both ends. Yeah. Yeah, the the article that came out the past couple of days don't say that at all. They actually said the executive producers engaged in Rampant Sexual's conduct and harassments. That's a little bit more

than somebody not looking you in the eye. Right, yeah, right, Well, the executive producers stepped down yesterday. I just think there's been a lot of people that have discussed there was a whole It all started with this Twitter threat that someone put out. They talked about his interaction with Ellen DeGeneres and how she was not very nice to him, and then a lot of people weighed in on their experiences with her as well, and then they started talking

about the environment of the show in general. All right, Now, Nicki Mana's husband, Kenneth, is asking a judge for a special request. He wants to be present for the birth of their baby. So he also wants permission to travel with Nicki on business trips as her manager because she could be having the baby who knows when. So the

problem is that he can't travel right now. He was supposed to register as a sex offender in the state of California, as he was reportedly arrested for failing to do so when he moved there with Nikki, So now he has to get a special sign off from the judge so that he can do that. I hope he gets that sign off. It's nothing like being there for the birth of your child. It makes sense. Yeah, that's nothing like being able to broth of your child. And

that's Nikki's you know, for first time giving birth. He needs to be there for his coin, all right. And then and we'll get into more of this in the next hour. But Nicki Mina's that song asap ferg Has that features Nikki has finally come out, Nicki Manaja made in Tokyo or on the song, and just as a reminder and the visual also move your hips, listen to this.

All right. Well, we'll give you some more information too in the next hour about Nicki Minaj and she's beefing with her hairstylists, and we'll tell you what she had to say on her end, and what her hairdresser had to say, maybe former hair dresser. Now,

well I'm Angela. Yeah, that's your rumor report. Now streaming brought to you by Black Is King, Now streaming on Disney Plus. Experienced a new visual album from Beyonce with music from The Lion King The Gift, a celebritory memoir that reimagines the lessons of the Lion King. Black Is King, now streaming only on Disney Plus. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now we got front page news next. What

we're talking about. Yes, we are going to be talking about Donald Trump and his tweets, and of course we'll be talking about John Lewis and his funeral was yesterday, dj Envy Angela ye Chlomagne, the guy we are the breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news. Where we starting you? Well, yesterday John Lewis was remembered at a funeral service in Atlanta, and Barack Obama delivered the eulogy. One thing that John Lewis that has defined his legacy

is voting rights right. And here is what Barack Obama had to say, but today we witness with our own eyes police officers kneeling on the necks of black Americans. George Wallace may be gone, but we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons

against peaceful demonstrators. But even as we sit here, there are those in power who are doing their darndest to discourage people from voting, by closing polling locations and targeting minorities and students with restrictive idea laws, and attacking our voting rights, the surgical precision, even under minding the postal service in the run up to an election that's going to be dependent on mail in ballots, so people don't

just sit Trump. During Donald Trump's daily briefing, he addressed the upcoming election and said this, I don't want to delay. I want to have the election, but I also don't want to have to wait for three months and then find out that the ballots are all missing and the election doesn't mean anything. That's what's going to happen soon. That's common sense. Then everyone knows it. Stupid people may

not know it. If they do this, our country will be a laughing stock all over the world because everyone knows it doesn't work. So we're asking for a lot of trouble. Do I want to see a day change now, but I don't want to see a crooked election. This election will be the most rigged election in history if that happens soon. The most rigged election in history. It was twenty sixteen, Okay, we had Russian interference and rampid vote suppression. Twenty twenty. Who knows what tricks they have

up their sleeve. But anybody who thinks it's going to be as simple as going to the polls and voting out Donald Trump has not been paying attention. Everything Trump was accused of in twenty sixteen, he's going to accuse the Democrats of this year. The difference is Trump has the power to challenge all election results, and he's got the head of the d J. William Barr, and members of the Supreme Court on the side. Not to mention, the Constitution gives states nearly unlimited power to decide how

electords have chosen. The Republican control about thirty state legislators. So all I'm simply saying is he's not leaving without a fight, And don't be shocked if he wipes his ass with the Constitution and figures out a way to not leave it all, don't us. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely gonna be a huge fight he wipes his ass. Okay, send a Mantority leader. Mitch McConnell had this to say,

because he has no plans on changing the election date. Well, never in the history of the country, through wars, depressions, and the Civil War, have we ever not had a federally schedule election on time. And we'll find a way to do that again show remember third Yeah right, listen, that's why Barot got the name names. Okay, who are those in power? Say their names? You don't have time to be vague, Mitch McConnell. That's a guy that's causing the process of the voting, a voting not to be smooth.

All right. He's already blocked two election security bills. You know why because he knows that they're probably going to have help from a foreign country come twenty twenty. All right, So you got a name names, Mitch McConnell, Donald Trump, Like you speak on those in power, who are you know, threatening our democracy? You gotta say their names. That's it. Point them out. All right, well, let's talk about coronavirus

for a second here. Doctor Anthony Fauci has responded to a claim from the head of Operational Warp Steep Speed. That's the federal government's multibillion dollar effort to develop a vaccine against coronavirus, and it seems they're very optimistic right now that it's going to be happening soon. Doctor Fauci said,

we all hope it's going to be that way. When they talk about the claim that there's a very optimistic estimate there's a vaccine that could be ninety percent effective, he said, when we look at the data from phase one studies, it looks good because the vaccine vaccine induced neutralizing antibodies and the recipients and that level was rather robust. So they said, it looks good. So that's the first good indication that gets us to be optimistic. But it's

only phase one, so let's remember that too. They said, it's very hard to predict. That's why they're going to be doing a trial right now. Would you do I plan to get a vaccine when not right away? The model is my mottel is you first? Yeah? Not right away? Not see how it is for me come back and tell local Charlotte what's happening. And that's how I want

to keep the kids at home. I ain't trying it first, I like, you know, I'll see how it goes for a little bit, and then if it works out pretty good and people ain't got six tones and six six fingers, then I try. I'll be over here with this. It's at least about worries. I'll be over here with this c moss in this vitamin. Uh, what's what's the vitamin? The vitamin you like? D shut up? What's the vitamin that keeps you a music? Help? Can't there? You go there?

I ain't have my jin over over this morning. My brain as man. Shut up. And that's your front page news. When we come back, Calum for your bones. Steve, Yeah, Steves out to be joining us when we come back. Don't move. It's to breakfast club. Go aboarding the breakfast club. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning. Morning everybody in stej Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are

the breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line right now, Steve Stout, Hey, what I see what's going on doing. Blood's happy to be here. I hope we come out of this better than we went into it. And the NBA's back. That's good for your business. You just did a deal with the good Well, sports in general is good for my business. We work with the NBA, the NFL the next You just want to get sports back. But by the way, the entire advertising business, especially television,

is driven by sports. You know, live television ad spending is you know, the most dominant spending and anything advertising has released in television every with the Knicks by number one, job helped rebrandom. I think the Knicks is one of the greatest brand sports brands in the world. You know, you think about the Yankees, the Cowboys, Manchester United, UM, and the Knicks. That's how I feel about it. And obviously we gotta work to do on the court, the

team and all that stuff. But from a brandom perspective, I think there's so much you can do merchandising, just making great advertising that gets people excited about this global brand. That's that's my job. So how do you turn that around? With everything that's happened with Spike Lee and Charles Oakley and their comments about you know, some of their play is it just seemed like the Knicks don't care about the people. Like like, if you look at different organizations

and different teams, it seems like they care. It seems like the Knicks is like one of those teams is like, yeah, whatever, We're gonna make money regardless. You know what, I think the owners misunderstood. I think James Doan is definitely misunderstood. He certainly brash. It's all's openly. Thing was clearly a disaster. Charles is a very different of mine, and that was terrible.

The Spike Lee thing seems to be, you know, a matter of you know, a celebrity expecting certain privileges and then when you don't get that privilege anymore, for whatever reason, he start throwing a fit. That doesn't seem real. Did you see Jordan Greer's comments in the Sporting News when he said New York has always thrown out as a potential landing spot for Markie free agents because of the appeal of the city, the garden and the possibility of

leading a basement developed back to contended status. But none of that matters if Dolan refuses to change his ways. What were your thoughts on his comments. He has something to say about you too. Yeah, I definitely see that, and I think with having leon In who was the new president of the Knick, Eleon Lowes West, Worldwide West, and myself, the three of us, I think that we're the best sort of team as it relates to being able to speak to a free agent, our relationships with talent.

They've never had this level of talent that can go out and pitch a free agent or convince a player. Why in New York is great? Um, I understood the statement. I don't agree with it, but I understand where it came from. You guys also have any head coach? Right? Yeah, they're announcing the new that hasn't I don't think that's finally been officially announced, but there's certainly discussions where they're

going through a coaching a search. You know that same writer Jordan Grier said Dolan's poor judgment Undercutch good decisions like bringing you in and Leon Rose. Do you agree with that? To Dolan make your job harder? No? I think Dolan's brashy is a very strong point of view on things, but he doesn't make it any harder. Not to me, man. I like his very clear style, like he makes a point and he is very loyal to his perspective. You know, if you have a strong argument,

he listens. If you don't have a strong argument, you're gonna get run over and make What did you think of about the statement that he made and people were criticizing him not putting out a statement and support a Black Lives Matter at first, and the emails that were circulating that ended up going public. What were your thoughts

on that and how that was handled. I think the sensitivity around the beginning of the sort of reimmersion of the Black Lives New movement after Floyd companies and I get these calls all the time, they don't know what to do. I kept on seeing all kinds of random

things from all kinds of different companies. You know, Bank of Amerror puts a billion dollars towards urban communities, and then like you hear that that it disappears are where you don't hear the next step in this countless amount of news and headlines about donating to the NAACP in x y Z and I think that with the Knicks, they fell victim to the same kind of sensitivity where people were making these statements the employees wanted to hear something.

They weren't ready to make a fall victim to what the employees wanted to hear immediately, and it became an issue I had nevisue in my company, Like everybody ran upon me talking about June teams. And the truth of the matter is, I never heard of June two before this year. And I know people who worked for me for ten years who never observed it at all at all that all of a sudden got pissed off that we didn't observe it this year. And I'm like, well,

we never observed it before. What are you talking about? Like I'm sensitive to the information, but like, let's not all of a sudden a week before turn our world upside down because we now have to respond publicly to the fact that we're celebrating June teams when you didn't even know about it last year. There was a lot going on during that time, and I think it was

a learning experience to everybody. I mean, when I was, you know, preparing to speak to you guys this morning, I was like, you know, you guys have gone through the roof. I couldn't be more proud of what each and every one of you guys have done in the last year. Um, it's obvious, Charlemagne, you has become a household name. Your political journalism is absolutely relatable, and UH has made a big difference in the way these these

candidates have to prepare for the smoke. Thank you. And Angela, would you say the whole entanglement thing, you set that up, you pre game that. I mean, just the fact you guys are on top of it like that, and and and and the syndication of the show. It's everywhere, by the way, in Miami is good with everywhere it's crazy. Um.

And then there's the you know, the political climate. The political climate right now is tense, and what's taking place between Black Lives Matter and the peaceful protests and then the anarchists, and how the media, both CNN and Fox

seems to be coupling them together. And by the time election comes around, I don't know if people are going to be able to understand the difference between Black Lives Matter and anarchists and people who are doing using the halo of a peaceful protest to do other some of them criminal and some of them have nothing to do with Black Lives Matter, but they got the shirt on. Yeah. I want to talk about let's bring some of that up.

I want to talk about the media industry. Right, you have a perspective about racism and media and how black executives get stifled and advertising. Can we talk about that, Well, the entire advertising business. It's supposed to be an industry that is on the front edge of changing perception, understanding consumer behavior. Beside, they're experts at it, and they use that expert positioning to go around to all the brands

around the world and say that the books. But yet when it comes down to understanding the perceptions of African Americans or promoting African Americans, they have zero understanding of any of that. There's a guy, you know, a guy named John Wren who runs Omnicom doesn't give it. There's a guy who runs IPG doesn't give These are holding companies, holding companies that hold all the advertising agencies and their

public vehicles, and the CEOs don't care. And then they have this other job, which I'm not really fond of. The Chief Diversity Officer basically is essentially saying, well, if we don't have what it is, we're not gonna be fair. So let's put a person in there to at least make it look like we give a shit, like there's a black program out there, and let's bringing black people through the special program. And if you're super talented, none of your envy. You don't want to get a job

anywhere through a special program. You want to get a job because you're a ship, not because you know. Light skinning is a light skin program, you know, But that's the kind of thing that happens in advertising and media overall. I'm gonna change it. Um. I feel like that's my contribution. All we got more with Steve Stout when we come back, Don't moves to Breakfast Club. Good morning working on bj Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are to Breakfast

Club was still kicking it with Steve Stout. Ye. So, Steve, you had both Nlie Chappa and Little Techa signed to United Masters, and haven't they both gone on to sign major label deals? Now? Yeah, how did you feel about that? By the way, we're gonna launch that for a lot of these artists. I mean, you know, we launched n L. E. Chop as you guys were kind enough for them on the show with Me, in which Charlomie made it very clear he would not have been on the show without me.

I reminded that man it was I was sitting there looking at him, going, damn that was that was a right hand. But then we have and they they went, they took money. Choppa got eight million dollars from one of brothers. This kid was sixteen years old, put out a record with us in January, and in July got eight million dollars. I believe that the record companies overpaid because they want to make sure that anything that successful remains in the ecosystem. And at the same time, the

kid got eight million dollars. God bless him. He changed his family's life. What was your conversation like to say, Okay, I think you should you know, because obviously those two artists went and got a nice big check. So if they come to you for advice or did they come to you for advice? And what did you say? Tchecher's entire thing was his manager was like, look, this kid's going to be a global superstar and we're gonna go

get a record deal at some point. But everything that you're doing to support us, that was more of an upfront conversation. I don't think it was the right decision,

but I expected it. The Chappel one was a little bit more touchy because I personally invested in the kid and they went and got paid eight million dollars and the record company is a bidding war, so it led to a lot of backdoor conversations, etc. A bunch of lawyers trying to do sneaky because when there's eight million dollars, there's a lot of guys with their hands in your pocket. But I didn't here before. I'm a veteran at issue like whatever. By the way, I ain't enjoyed your dialogue

with Smooth. That was crazy. Everybody I was in LA I got. Jimmy told Dre Dre, I don't think he got the first single on the not the Chronic, the no talking about record Chronic. Two dollar one yeats is the album we're still waiting for. So I'm there. Even Jimmy tells Dre he don't think he got the first single, and the album was done. The drakes of the album is done, so Dre and I a cool and he had like five beats. I took those five beats and he let me bring him back to New York to

help pick the first single. Seem like me get somebody to write it. I take the five beats and I played it for Timberland. Timberland picked the instrumental for still dr E like that was crazy. Then I played the same five beats for Jay and Jake still dr Beat and said that is it? And then I asked him when you write it? And Jay was in the studio and he wrote that song in an hour. And then when we said when I sent it back to Dre, I was flawed. That Snoop spit jay Z's huk. I

couldn't believe it. Jay couldn't believe it. We must have played the song a hundred times, jay Z and I bugging out that they were doing that part. He had that line in there, he trying to be the king. But the aces back, we didn't even know that they did that. We knew Dre you could write to Dre, but nobody knew that rappers was spitt and runs from other rappers. So yeah, with did he and all those guys, Yeah,

but did he and Dre weren't rapping right? All right, Foxy Brown, that's a good one, little kim Uh, those are good ones, but there was an asterisk next to them. I don't know. No one seemed a kid that jay Z wrote Foxes Rumes. She wrote some of her rhymes, so she wrote the I shot your remix and Affirmative Action, and Jay wrote the album. I guess you're right, So, I mean, I never thought about it like that. Maybe you know there was some asterisk next to them, maybe

because they were women and that's what that's. Everybody was like, it's cool if you write for a woman a girl, but certainly we didn't think super was taken with jay Z swamps up about that. I would love to hear that version, if you ever find that version. I would love to hear the version of Jay doing that rap. The two things I'm looking for and I have them, I just can't find them is that reference Day and

Jay the kids spitting the Benjamin H. Victory. Yeah. Now, I know you're a Versus fan, and I know that you're real cool with track Masters, you managed them at one time that personal friends. I know you want the track Masters to get into a versus battle. Who would you would love to see the versus track Masters versus in that battle? I was definitely wanted to see track Masters versus Jermaine, Jermaine dupri and Jermaine that didn't want to do it. He wants to battle Puffy and all that.

I think he just want to He just want to fight the bigger guy that make it seem like he was in it for a bit. He's not ready for the Puff level. He knows that. I was very helpful and Swiss and knowledge that. The idea of Rick ross versus two Chains, I think that's going to be crazy crazy. Do you think he's gonna win that? Wed Steve? Who's gonna win that one? In your head? I think Rick Ross has smashes. I think Rick Rossers has forty smashes

from his own joints. To like the stuff he was doing with the Dream, the Meek Mill, the French Montana and all those collaps he was doing. Then he got his Drake collaps because jay Z songs. He got way too much monsters. I can't wait to see it. I've seen you in Dame Dash and inifty cent speaking. I've seen that y'all cool, y'all squashed your beef right fifty and I yeah, queens get the money fifty and I I'll beef or whatever that was dissipated and uh damon

Josh and I, yeah, I didn't. If you get old man, I'm I'm fifty man. I had termed fifty year body. You don't see fifty year old's fighting. Man. We're gonna Fyoming. You're gonna fly out to Wyoming next. I don't think so, not yet. Um. First of all, it seems to be a relevant See people are going out there and then like see him and then they get filmed on Instagram and posted about. To me, that's not what it's all. I don't like that type of man's like. So I'm

not going there. I don't want to be part of that. Like, I'll talk to him out. I would love to support him. I've known for so many years, and I think he needs friendship. You see Charlemagne's interview with him. He needs friends around him when this happens. Part of it is you lost your homeboys, or you need them more than they're around, because you need somebody who's not afraid to tell you to shut the stuck. I think we all

need that in our life. Yeah, what did you think when you saw Dame in Bigs and all of them together and Wyoman, it's great to see that, man, it's great. I think all that stuff is good to see no be people coming together. It makes what we've accomplished and what we've done really important. And you can't dismiss it when the people who've moved the culture stick together and don't shout it and make it seem like the beef is more important than what we did as a culture.

Because right now, what Damon said was right, there are many many culture vultures out there. There are a lot of people out there robbing our culture, appropriating it in advertising, in fashion. I'm seeing it over and over and over again, like it's not even disrespectful, but hip hop black people is hot right now, and just seeing guys run around

appropriating like Gary VANDICEP. Gary beats guy does a podcast, takes a bunch of pictures with black rappers and then like runs around acting like he's a hip hop guy. Or you literally said the word like he can hack the culture. You can't hack our culture. You can't hack everything that we've gone through. People died for this, and like when I hear things like that, it bothers me. I actually told him that you can't hack our culture are you talking about? You say, well, I can send

you the cliff. Yeah. I like Gary though, I think I think I think Gary. I think Gary means well, he's well intended. But we're so hot right now. You don't even realize that when you say something like hacking culture, that you think about everything that everybody went through. You think about Big getting shot in LA, and that's even being out in LA at that time. You think about the situations that each of one of you have been in to get to where you are right now that

will help move hip hop culture forward. And then all of a sudden people show up and go, I'm part of this too. Well, you could visit it, but you're not part of it, and don't appropriate it. We got more with Steve s when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Chalomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club

is still kicking it with Steve Stout Chalomagne. From an advertising perspective, as much as people don't agree with Kanye's political views, as much as people don't know if he's mentally healthy or not. From a brand perspective. Corporations don't be don't seem to be afraid of you at all. Yo. That goes back to the going in the fridge. Companies shoot first, ask questions later. Companies used to do business. Remember when Reebok dropped Rick Ross, You remember, yeah, over

the Molly line. Yeah yeah. Meanwhile, they listened to all his raps, wrote him a check, and then somebody in the press wrote about the Molly line, and then they fire him. But they knew that line existed. They heard yeah, lines like that all the time. That's what they do. When there's public pressure on them, then they get rid of you. But until there's public pressure, they're cool with it. So in the situation with just seeing with Kanye right

now the Gap Adidas, they're making money. They need it, they need it, and until something somebody makes it a big statement about it. But because ya did something that was offensive, so offensive that the New York Times decided to write that story, then they'll drop him. But until it that stories written, they'll look the other way. They'll let you think about Nick Cannon and Nick Cannon and Viacom got too big. The problem got too big. Somebody

who wrote about Nick Cannon's anti Semitic statements. We can't have that guy on the outstation. The CEO is gonna find out get rid of them. You can't just say some disrespectful and then go on the Internet and then say I apologize, or my Instagram got hacked, my Twitter got hot. They get the hell out of here. Stop lying. Nick Cannon blew it. He had no business even talking. What the hell was he even saying it? Didn't know

make any sense. Nick Cannon is a public and Nick Cannon got a lot of business with Jewish people, and for him to go and make a statement like that while those are his partners, he was playing career suicide. And you can't apologize for that. Like you can't just say some crazy stuff about black folks and the next day say I'm sorry, you're not having that, and oh, white people do it. White people do it all the time. But to your point, if you offend the people you're

working for, God bless you, good luck to you. I don't think that's going in well. Yeah, by the way, if Nick back the ownership, if Nick owned wilding out, it'd be fine at least financially, would be Morley, I don't agree with what he said, But he doesn't have wilding out. He's he's an employee and so now he's asked out. And it's unfortunate that he, uh dis late in his career, screwed it up this bottley because it's very,

very hard to recover. I wish that, um, you know, because you know, you look at like Senator Cotton this week and Senator Cotton is like, you know, slavery wasn't necessary evil and it's offensive if that is to black folks. What punishment does he get? You know, what backlash does he get? Like, I don't that's that's that's my only issue. No, it's wrong, but you know what, it works, the racism in this country. There are people who vote for him

who actually believe that. Yeah, so he definitely does appeal to his audience or the audience that got him the job in the beginning. There may be a lot of black people who agree with what Nick Cannon says. I'm not one of them, but there may be the problem is those people don't don't buy them, right. I got one question more question, Steve. I saw you on Bloomberg TV and you said the pandemic will make a legacy

record labels and think of the past. I feel like legacy everything is a thing of the past, and if people don't let go of what was, they'll never embrace what will be. What do you think, Yeah, well, the pandemic is certainly the reset button. And you're seeing industries look what we're doing. We're doing this from zoom. If this works and your audience watch this and enjoys it as much as me coming into your studio, why would you ever want to go back to the studio again.

Why would you go back to the studio again? People like it. It works, and I think you've seen that in this format of talk shows. You've certainly you've seen that in the work in the workplace, and businesses are going they're figuring it out. We've become resourceful. And if you are a business with big real estate holdings, or you're a business that hasn't figured out how to adapt to the new environment and waiting for things to go back to where they were, then you're in big trouble.

I don't think things are going to go back to the way they are. Work. You know, it doesn't take long for things to become the new normal. You talk about two years three years. If you're seventeen eighteen nineteen and you go through those years and this is your reality, why would you not think that this is normal? Yeah, those two three years is how generations shift, if our technology changes things. It's so I do believe that things will not go back the way they were and by away.

And as it relates to this pandemic, I think we're still in the first quarter. We're not half way home. I don't think so. You guys see that late twenty twenty two, and that's and that's if we get a vaccine early next year. I think early twenty twenty three. Nah, If we get a vaccine early next year's, people aren't gonna want to get the vaccine at first. They're not

gonna feel comfortable getting it. But then it'll probably be some other treatments that come along late twenty twenty two, early twenty three, whether it's twenty late twenty one, or it goes on the way to twenty two. You got people who just started working, who started working like this, and you'll be doing this show for another year like this. If your fans and people watch the show enjoy it, you certainly enjoy it. If you could just you probably ain't got no bottoms one right now? You might be

doing this. We're just feeling I got I got my biker showers, I'm about to go riding after this. I got my biker show and so on though, But yeah, are you comfortable? And if that's why it works, then that's the way it works. Why would you want to go back to the studio again? Now? I want to be back in the studio. I'm not gonna lie. I want to be I personally want to be back in the studio because what you said it is very important

you said. Do people like it like this? I don't know if people like the zoom interviews as much as they like watching us in studio with a person having conversations, right, I like that as well. And videos don't get as many views. Videos video may do well, but not it's a little bit. But guys, thanks again, thank you for always having me. You get you get the videos are not doing as good as they YouTube. Ain't got time. I'll see you guys later, Steve, thank you for checking in, brother,

Thank you for having me. Um Yes, sir, and I am super proud of everything that you're doing. We will look up one day, and you will be bigger than Howard Stern. I guarantee that. I know that, and I can't wait for that day to happen because there will be another feather in the of the dominance and the importance of your pop culture. All right, take whatever checks you throw our way, Steve People bet this ship shouldgether. I'm in Blue Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlomagne the Gay. We are the breakfast club. Let's get to the rooms. Let's talk Nicki Minaj. This is the rule of report with Angela. Ye. All right, Well, looks like Nicki Minaj and her now former hair stylist Arrogance, Hey are having some issues. They've unfollowed each other on Instagram. I know your guys might not be able to relate to this, but our hair stylist makeup artists like you have real relationships with those people because you spend a

lot of time with them. So a lot of times hair stylist might you know, really blow up off of working with a certain particular artist. You guys end up being friends. It's like a therapy session when you're getting your hair done, when you're getting your makeup done. Well, let's talk about what happened between the two of them and why they'm followed each other. Here's what Nicki Minaj had to say on her Instagram Live for the last few months. I told my hairstylenst that when the song

comes out, I want to redo the look. And then he canceled on me forty eight hours before the shoot. I said, well, could you overnight the wig then, and you know, we could have someone just apply it and you know, keep it smooth like that, and he said no, And so with twenty four hours left, I had to call somebody and thank god, someone came to do it. Is this really a story, Nicki Minaj not speaking to her air dresser, Is this really in your business? V mind?

Your business got nothing to do with you. And the thing is, I mean, it was enough of a story that she felt she had to address it right. And then he responded. And then he responded and said I did not cancel because she was saying that he canceled

on her at the last minute. He said, I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled today July thirtieth, which I made my appointment two weeks because I've been was supposed to get it pulled for months now, and I told her I'm gonna see if I can reschedule my appointment, and I couldn't because the next date they had available wasn't until the middle of August, So her team asked,

could I over not a wig? Nikki doesn't like wearing no other wigs from no other companies except for one company that barely communicates with me, so I can't make a wig. And he just goes on to explain what the problem was and how he feels like he's been loyal.

Then he said, turned down so many people in so many opportunities from just being loyal and solid never again, and that's because Nicki Minaj ended up using another stylist, Jonathan, who also recently was going back and forth with Arrogante as well. He said, one thing I hate is having love for people who always turned their back on me. That's my biggest problem. When I love people and it's genuine, I go above and beyond. But I'm tired of people

playing with me on God Now I am. Jonathan, who actually ended up doing Nicky's wig, posted Nikki and said, when the King finally slays the Queen baby, I slayed Nikki with the bun and chopstick and drop a strawberry if I murdered this look and color. So Jonathan said, stop venting and start praying. You don't need sympathy, you need strength. I show people how to run a business, how to continue to shry for greatness, not sitting your ass or act like uh, you know so good or

or something. The grind don't stop and it only gets better. You guys, get it all right? Between the stair stylists, did we just report about Nicki Minaj and a hairstylis beefing? Yep? Okay, that's the thing that I'm sure women care about. I'm over here in minding my business. I was paying attention. Okay, you know these are special relationships. All I know is I saw Keish Cole on Shade Room say I can't wait for you to come over here and do this, Bob.

That's what I knew it was. Listen, it's not easy to find a great hairstylist, especially somebody who makes good wigs, do the install and all of that. So I get it, you know, And people have to be loyal too, Like everybody's looking for loyalty with who you work with So it was just a back and forth over that. Now let's talk about marriage boot Camp. Y'all ain't watching that either, but I keep telling you guys to watch it. We

discussed it with Snoop because Corrupt is on there. Uh Now, Willie from day twenty six is on there with his wife Shanda and admitted that he cheated. Listen to this. How many women has Willie had affairs with? Twelve? Twelve? Why do I say that? That's all platon? I'm sitting here, I'm gonna deal with this. I would like to know who all twelve of these bitches are. May they can help me play the game. It's crazy because I'm not

a cheater, So it's crazy twelve you can, dumbass? Did she just find that on the show or did she go from beforehand and he were dealing with it? Will think this is faar factor that god damn married like that on TV to your wife. Yea, so they've been cheating, and if you watched the show, he says that she cheated on him as well, but I think it was

more of like a revenge thing. You know, they've discussed this and they still haven't gotten over a lot of the issues, and it seems like he still hasn't stopped cheating. The two of them though really seem like they do want to work out their problems. Is just a lot, all right. I don't take back what I said. I take I take back what I said because that might be the safest place to tell your wife that you cheated on her with twelve women. Is on TV for

all these witnesses to see. Even though she'll probably still do you, she probably still do let me the safest place. Yeah, and nothing for nothing though if he say twelve is more than that? Um. But anyway, moving on, also boot camp, we've been talking about this, right, So this clip was circulating and this was Vado seemingly trying to attack to Harry, and will replay that for you right here. This is

what happened. I look crazy to y'all. I look extrogressive like no, no, no, no, sucking out like you look y'all? Are you kidding me? Houses on fire Facebook, I'm going in the county now. At the end of it, he gets up and grabs her like by her collar, but

then doctor Ish comes over and they escort him out. Well, if you watch the episode last night, you can see that before all that happened, the two of them were having a lot of friction and she actually ended up throwing apples and hitting him in the head with these apples, and it wasn't pretty. And so he posted on his page after this aired yesterday, he said, nobody's a victim. We both were wrong, doing me more because I'm a man that tried to take the better route but couldn't.

Once it was no apology in continuous disrespect, I lost it and went out like a straight sucker. I apologize to all women once again, but ladies, please keep your hands to yourselves as well. And then he posted a video from a Thin Line between Love and Hate when Martin Lawrence discussing how because he's a man, you know the police don't take it seriously when a when a woman attacks you, and so yeah, I didn't definitely should

have never. I didn't see it. I do agree everybody should keep their hands today self, but you know that's still not a valid excuse choke a woman out, Like I understand self preservation. You can defend yourself against any human and then the heat of the moment, yes you can lose your cool, but jacking her up or putting hands on her because she threw apples at you, Like, nah, man, my ego, not that fragile king, like when when life

throws apples at you, make apple sauce. Matter of fact, I don't care a fruit, vegetable or stone that you turned it into something you can eat. And I will say he knows he's wrong, that was wrong, but I will also say that to her he shouldn't be throwing apples and hitting people in the head with them either, So they got to address both things, and it seems

like a toxic relationship like that should not continue. That's kind of flirting though, right, what you mean now and somebody throwing apples at you across you know, sheet him in the head with apples him in the head, apple her, Yeah, but I can't. Yeah, but that's not that's not a valid excuse to choke a woman out. No, it's not. I'm saying they felt, but they both need they both are wrong too, Like he's definitely wrong, but she definitely

also shouldn't be doing that. I'm a fan of nobody doing anything physical to each other and no putting your hands on anyone. And as a woman, I also would never hit anybody, throw anything at anybody, or none of those things too. But what if we're in the kitchen making an apple pie and I'm talking apps. That's something different. But you're not beating it at my forehead, throwing it to me and throwing it at me. It's two different things,

all right. What if we're making candied apples? Right, so I'm throwing the apples at you because I want you to who you want to throw your apples over? Who you want to throw your your peach to? Huh, that's what seems like. Who you want to throw your peach too. You've been looking, I've been watching. Just got still turn around, You'll get out of here. That is your rumor report. Man, Yo, come on, yo, come on. I am happy you notice you know things. It's the little things now? Who you giving?

We mean little as a producer named j W. Lucas who needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word. Man, this is a teachable moment, j W. Who is that? What do you produce? Never heard them tell you yesterday? I'll explaining. Okay, all right, we'll get into that. Next is the breakfast locomot. It's time for Donkey of the Day being dunky of the day, a little bit of a dope the other day. Now I've been called a lot of my twenty three years

that donkey of the day is a new wife. Dunkey today for Friday, July thirty, first goes to a hip hop music producer named j W. Lucas. I have never heard of this individual in my life. Didn't know he existed until yesterday. Envy, you ever heard him? No, I have it, Angelie, you have heard him? Nope? Okay, but he's produced for a little Oozy, Jack Harlow, the Baby and Pop Smoke. So says the Shade Room and Genius. I feel like I am giving this man what he

wants and what he seems. The one is at tension. I don't know how or why you wake up and go to your social media and open up your Twitter and decide to tweet out something like this. This is what j W. Lucas tweeted out. Why is the world asking for justice for hashtag Brianna Taylor? Of course she shouldn't have lost her life, but do you realize that she was involved with multiple drug dealers who were using her house as a trap spot. If you sign up

for that life, there are consequences. In tweet, he actually posted that those words came out of his thumbs. First of all, none of that is true. All right, none of that is true. Let's just start there. None of that is true. We should all know the story of Brianna Taylor by now, if you don't, hear a quick recap. Shortly after midnight on March thirteenth, Louisville police officers executing a search warrant used the battering ram to enter the

apartment of twenty six year old Brianna Taylor. Contrary to J. W. Lucas's dumbass tweet, she was not a trap queen. She was an emergency room technician, all right. She was in bed with her husband, I mean her boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, okay, when they both heard the door get banged down. It was a brief exchange, and Kenneth did what I believe any human in America who owns a firearm would do if someone broke into his house, and that's let the

hammer fly, all right. That's exactly what the right to bear arms is all about. Okay. The Second Amendment is the right for people to possess weapons for their own defense. There is not a man, a woman or child in a miracle who owns a gun who knows how to fire a gun who would not have done the same thing. And that's in a situation. Okay, can it fired? Police

fired back several shots, and poor Brianna Taylor was murdered. Now, there were so many things wrong with this situation, but the main problem was police had been investigating two men who they believed was selling drugs out of a house that was far from Miss Taylor's home. Okay, but the judge had also signed the warrant allowing the police to search Miss Taylor's residents because the police said they believed that one of the two men had used her apartment

to receive packages. No drugs were found in the apartment, okay, none. The police report contained multiple errors. They listed Brianna Taylor's injuries as none, even though she had been shot eight times, and they say they had not forced They did not force their way into the apartment, though they used the battering ram to break the door open, and police had already located the main suspect in the invested by the time they decided to run up in Brianna's apartment, so

they had who they were looking for already. Okay, the moral of the story is J W. Lucas doesn't know what the hell he's talking about, and only in America, well a white man find a way to defend the oppressor while making the oppressed a victim. Now. I saw on Hollywood Unlocked and The Shade Room yesterday where one of our fearless leaders, Queen to Mika Mallory dropped on a clues buns for Tamika Mala speaking to j W. Lucas.

Some people said Tamika was wasting her time. I don't think standing up for Brianna tayl or any black person who has lost their life due to systemic racism is a waste of time. I thought maybe this guy, j W. Lucas would have come to his senses and let Tomka talk some sensing to him after being corrected. But no, let's listen. Extremely racist for a white man to try to tell Black people what we are doing, where we need to go, what our issues are. That's part of

the gaging institutional art. I should be. I should be a leader in the Black Matter movement because I'm more capable than you. Yes, I am. You know what, you don't understand the nature of reality. All negative externalities must be eliminated. The people that you do business with to make a decision about whether or not what you're saying and the propaganda and the lies that you're spreading is

something that they should continue to support. So what I promise you is that you will have to deal with me for the rest of your life because anybody you do business with, I'm gonna show up to make sure that they know that you are a racist and that's your rhetoric and the tone that you're using is extremely dangerous, and that you disrespected the life of a young twenty

six never woman. Never. I will not accept that you're gonna give about decreasing problem to me, because don't you care about getting your own political game, the white privilege losing out of his purse right. First of all, people really need to watch their tone when it comes to talking to queens like Tamika Mallory. Second of all, for him to say he can lead the movement better than to Mika, what do you even say to that? Like,

what's your response? Why do you even dignify that with a response Why does he feel comfortable talking like that and saying he could lead the movement better than to Mika. You know why, because he's a white man talking to a black person, especially a black woman. So it's a level of superiority and privilege that just comes with that. All right, sexism, racism, we already know what it is. Now. Keep in mind he's a hip hop producer, so he was also on last night talking hip hop. Listen to

what this man said about our culture. You're calling me when I am telling you that I bring more to your pop culture than anyone in it. Period. He does more for hip hop than anyone in it. That's crazy. Never heard you, never heard of? You tell yesterday? Okay, the call Cassidy, the unmitigated ghostly pale gall of this human You know, j W. Feel how you want to feel,

Say what you want to say. It's a America. You have that right, do your thing, but there has to be consequences and repercussions for people who talk like this. So you can have freedom of speech, but you cannot be free of the consequences of said speech. And this is why we need our own version of like the Southern Poverty Law Center or the ADL, these organizations that

fight against bigotry and racism. When someone does it, says something that's offensive, you know, to our culture, hip hop, blackness, we should be organized or have an organization that lets people know this ain't welcome. Okay, we see it happen to people all the time, but for some reason, when it comes to hip hop and blackness, people are just allowed to continuously disrespect us and nobody says anything. All right, nothing happens. Case in point. As I've said before, we

can't even get the cops who kill us fires. We can't even get people canceled when they kill us. So of course someone like J. W. Lucas feels comfortable disrespecting us on all levels while making money in and off our culture. Jay Lucas, today is a nice day. I don't know where you're located in the world, but it's it's summertime. I know you're in America. It's summertime, and it's nice out. So at some point today I want you to go outside barefoot, if you can, put your

feet in the ground. Okay, get grounded, all right, take a few deep ocean breaths, make sure your inhales and exhales are long, full and deep. After you do that, look up, Look up, look up, look up. There as a star at the center of the solar system. It's the foundation of the solar system. It's a nearly perfect spear of hot plasma. I want you to look at it,

feel the raised from it. Let it shine on your white skin, and say to yourself, sun, stream it Sun, and then spell it to yourself as you and give me your ass, give me a yo, give me your n and let it be a reminder to you that sun means shut up. That's what you have to do when you feel like tweeting something stupid or getting on Live and saying something stupid. Just go outside and get some sun and remind yourself that shut up. And yes, white folks can be n words too. Please let him

give J. W. Lucas the biggest he had. He ha he ha. He's stupid. Mother, far are you dumb? All right? M I'm surprised at you, brother? Who you This is usually where we do a petty party or something like that. You ain't gonna do that today. Oh, do some clown emojs? You know, if you know, you know we can do clown emojis. But what we need to do is go in his comments j W Lucas seven oh two. All right, j W Lucas seven oh two, and put a bunch of sons in his comments all right, and say shut

up okay, and let's see. Let's see if he's stupid enough. They get on Live later and say, I got a bunch of people telling me to shut up my Let's see what happens. Guys, this is a good social experiment. Let's see how far he's willing to take this. Okay, go to his comments. His instagram is j W Lucas j W l uc A s seven h two. Oh he must be in Vegas, and put a bunch of sons. Just put the sun in his comments with the phrase shut up okay, okay, all right, here we go. All

right now, thank you for that donkey of today. Now, when we come back, Angela Rye will be joining us. We'll kick it with Angela ry talked about everything that's going on to don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast Club morning. Everybody is ch envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, nigab. We are the breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Friend to the room, Miss Angela Rye. Welcome. Thank you so much. It's good to be with you all.

It's been a little while. Yeah, how you holding up before we start? How's the pandemic treating you? Where you at? I'm in la Um. It has been really good. I feel like I've learned a lot about myself and um, probably most importantly, I have really taken the time to hone my craft, to get better at some things, um, and to figure out some things that I need to let go. But just constantly trying to move it. Girl, just like y'all, that's beautiful. So you like what you see?

You like what you see when you're looking in the mirror. What is that? What move was that? But Angela, we wanted to We wanted to talk to you in particular today about John Lewis and to get your thoughts on the funeral was yesterday, So we just wanted to hear from you as someone who personally knew him, worked with him, supported him, he supported you as well. Yes, Um. At first, I want to tell you all that when I think of Congressman Lewis, I just think of someone who is

truly the People's Camp. He laying stayed in the Alabama State Capital as the first black person to ever do that in the last person who lands state in the Alabama State Capital was George Wallace, so poetic justice there he land state in the United States Capitol. His wife preceded him in best Lillian, who also worked with him and one of his was one of his biggest champions. And he has a son, John Miles Lewis, who he

leaves behind. But I think was important for people to know is so much of the coverage that we've seen has been las focused on John Lewis with that Crinch Coudon and that backpack walking across the Edm and Pettish Bridge. But so often you don't hear about what happened when John Lewis crossed that bridge, and the story career he had after that. He I would argue, was not just the conscience of the Congress, but the very heartbeat and the conscience of this country. His kindness was in a facade.

You heard his staff talk about it at that funeral yesterday. He was the exact same person in his professional and personal life, and so often he's known as the boy from Troy which is person to the nickname that Doctor King gave him. But beyond that, he went on to serve seventeen consecutive terms in Congress, but that was not

before he lost his first congressional race. Went on to become a member of the Atlanta City Council, and he also went on to be appointed by President Carter to serve over something called Action, which was a volunteer organization under Jimmy Carter. He had three presidents pay tribute to him at his funeral yesterday, and of course Barack Obama eulogized him and said some very important things that she's

some very important challenges. In addition to President Obama, you have fifty members of the House that are presentatives to food for the food down for the funeral. In addition to Senator Corps Booker Kamala Harris. That was the sixth day of services. So that tells you the powerful nature of John Lewis. Don't know him, read about him, watch

the documentary Good Trouble about Him. Phenomenal And in addition to that, has the foresight to public in the New York Times yesterday and OpEd And one of the things that really stood out to me in the OpEd yesterday said ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble. Voting and participating in the democratic process are key. The vote is the most powerful non violent change agent

you have in a democratic society. You must use it because it is not hearing feed. You can lose it. So so often we talk about voter suppression, We talk about all of the many ways in which our votes are almost denied. Us In Barack Obama yesterday and he's u literally told us that we shouldn't just be pushing for what has now been changed to the John Robert Lewis Voting Rights Act. We should be pushing for everything beyond that automatic registration, many of the things that people

have pushed for some time. But Republicans have been pushing for symbolism over substance and have not considered that bill in more than two hundred and ninety days. Expound what that bill is, So the bill all it does, if and you all may remember, in twenty thirteen, there was a Supreme Court decision called Shelby Versus Holder, and then Shelby Versus Holder. The Supreme Court decided to gut section

five of the Voting Rights back. That section requires states to be pre cleared if they had cattered in practice of discrimination in their voting processes. That decision gutted that, which means those states and those areas no longer had to get pre clearance. That is the teeth and the lynchpin of the Voting Rights Bill. So now you have this empty symbolic shell. And they said in the decision, we're requiring Congress to go back and to fix this.

So since twenty thirteen, Congress has not been able or has decided not to fix it. When the Democrats took over last year in twenty nineteen, one of the first things they did was consider Hr four. Hr four was the Voting Rights Advancement Act, to finally give the Voting Rights Act of nineteen sixty five it's powerback. John Lewis as it should have been, presiding over the House floor that day, and of course that bill passed the House. They've changed the bill main title by a unanimous content

on the House floor this past Monday. However, it still has not been taken up in the Senate, where, of course you know that the majority leaders Republican Mitch McConnell. So basically it keeps races white people from cheating during elections. Yeah, theoretically, And I think that the challenge we all see and we've talked about honestly on this show since twenty sixteen.

Ver since the twenty sixteen elections, they found new ways to cheat, and we haven't found new ways to protect our votes because the basic ones have not yet work. You know what this election that's coming up. What are your thoughts on Joe Biden and how are you feeling about Joe Biden right now? Well, I think the good news is that you don't make decisions about our next

steps on our feelings. I think the bad news is I feel like everybody else, It's like miss so what I'm waiting for is I shouldn't say everybody else a lot of people. What I feel like is I'm excited about who he will pick as his vice president, Joe pick as his running mate. I'm excited about them moving forward with a more robust agenda that meets the needs of the things that we've talked about for so long.

I'm excited about getting this man that is sitting there right now, envy that you and I have personally been trying to teach person got in. I'm ready to getting him out. And I think that you know, it's just like what John Lewis said in that op ed, our vote is not guaranteed. And you solid Donald Trump just tweeting the other day right that he will do whatever it takes. He's talking about trying to delay the election,

which he does not have the power to do. Let the record show your brother told you that he ain't leaving the goddamn White House. I told you that, I told you he was gonna did not say he was going to attempt to do something like this in the name of the Lord Jesus. I reviewed that in you. But I told you he's I told you he crazy enough to try it. We got well, hold on, hold on, Rod, we got more with Angela. Right when we come back, she's here eight hundred five eight five one on five one.

Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, DJ Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Angela Ray Now right before we left, Charlomagne and said, he told you that that man is not leaving the White House. He's gonna attempt to not leave the White House. He might not want to, but we need to help him see the door. Yeah, but let's score him out now. Angela Earlier, you were talking about being excited about who the vice presidential pick

is going to be. So who would you be really excited about if they said, Okay, Joe Biden, because he's going to announce it very soon. So who do you think it will be and who are you excited the most excited for. I'm the most excited about what we wrote in our offense. Several months ago, A group of black women, including our good sister Amanda Seals and others, LaCosta Brown and we see A Garza so many others wrote about this very issue and we said that Joe

Biden needs to pick a black woman. My line about this has been that if Jesus were black women, Joe Biden is Lazarus, and we say a Lazarus come forth right like that is my line about this, because it's just we resurrected a dead campaign. Also, I don't know why you think that's funny. I'm being so serious. Been in Mississippi and other states where black people have the

power of the vote and exercised it right. And so to that end, in a campaign where they were like, it's all but dead, campaign staffords were packing up, they're back. We resurrected it. So the least he could do right is ensure that the people who have the fortitude and the ability and the strategic insight to resurrect the campaign are also a key part of his administration going forward. I think that he should do that in the cabinet as well. But will we have control over right in

this moment? Who's being vetted right in this moment our vice presidential candidates. They've listed a number, as you all know, of black women who could be considered. And I think that the most important thing is that he sees that all those black women are dope. Who all got Who are you guys thinking? You know, I'm rocking with Senator Kamala Harris. He's supposed to pick tomorrow. Tomorrow, He's going nounce tomorrow. I don't know with Kamala Harris too. What

about you? Ye? I think there's four or five people that I would be happy about it. I think Kamala Harris, though, probably has the best shot because of the familiarity that people have with her and the support that she's already had and her track record as well. So but I like Valdemic. Yeah val didn't he from from Florida who was all fun and teaching manager as you all know. And then I know you all we sitting down tune with UM congress Member Karen Bass, who's also the chair

of the Congressional Black Cocket. She of course is on that shortlist as well as brilliant. Was the first speaker of the California State Assembly, the first black woman speaker of the California State Assembly. So she made history and is used to it. But there's some incredible women on

the list. And of course Kamala Harris's advantage is that she was in the Democratic primary and as a former prosecutor, told definitely tell this president, the current sitting president, what the law is all about because apparently he missed that memo. You got a special edition of the on one podcast dropping what this weekend. Yeah, it should be out Sunday, so I hope you all will to check it out. I'm really really excited about it. Leonard, you would make

fun of me. I definitely cried, but it was it was good and I'm so that I can honor him and thank you brother, because you gave me the idea to do something focusing on the legislative career because we haven't seen enough about that. We appreciate you for checking in four times this week. You're giving me credit for something. Whooo grateful winner. No, I'm going to when I get my winds, I'm gonna spiked the football today. NBA year is said. To see you guys, and good to see you.

All right, Well it's Angela Ry. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now you got rumors on the way, yes, and we are going to talk about Tamar Braxton. She has released her first statement since getting out of the hospital. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's about this report Angela on the Breakfast Club. Well, as you know, our prayers

are with Tamar Braxton. July sixteenth, she did try to end her life and now she has written an open letter for people to know exactly what was going on. She said, first and foremost, thank you to each and every individual who has prayed for me, thought of me, sent me their love and has showered me with their support. In this present moment, is my only responsibility to be real with myself and to be real with the ones

who truly love me and care for my healing. She said, over the past eleven years, they were promises made to protect and portray my story with the authenticity and honesty I gave. I was betrayed, taking advantage of over worked and underpaid. I wrote a letter over two months ago asking to be freed from what I believed was excessive and unfair. I explained in personal detail the demise I was experiencing, my cry for help when totally ignored. However,

the demands persisted. It was my spirit and my soul that was tainted the most. And she goes on to say the way that she was portrayed on television that mattered to her. She said, it was seeing the slow death of the woman I became that discouraged my will to fight. I felt like I was no longer living. I was this thing for the purpose of a corporation's gain and ratings, and that killed me. She said. Mental illness is real. We must normalize, acknowledging it and stop

associating it with shame and humiliation. The pain that I have experienced over the past eleven years has slowly ate away at my spirit and my mental So she did say it is our prayers that have pushed her to rise above her own personal demise and reality TV personalities have no union, no code of protection, no formal representation that protects our labor or writes our voices. They promise

us opportunity, but produce exploitation. She also talks about her new show, and basically she wanted to make sure that she wasn't portrayed as the angry black woman. She also didn't like the way that her boyfriend was portrayed on the show when she saw the first episode. I want to send nothing but positive energy, love and light, Tamar.

And you know, for everybody out there that says all Charlomagne does is talk about mental health, this is exactly why, you know, This is exactly why I talk about therapy all the damn time, and why I always talk about

investing in your mental wealth. It's a very dark time and people are dealing with anxiety, depression, all types of things, man, and it's very very hard to stay stable out here in these screech and sometimes you do think about making a permanent decision based off temporary feelings, but that is exactly what those feelings are temporary. So absolutely nothing but positive energy, love and like the Tamar and anybody that's

going through anything during these um these dark times. I lost two friends to suicide and the month of June, so and you know what too, And and also we also got to discuss ownership and make sure that we own our own and we can go to platforms where they don't try to exploit us to make money. Obviously she wanted to look a certain way, and the TV program was thinking about ratings, and we got to be in a position where we'd be like, no, I'm the producer,

I'm an executive producer. This is a safe platform for me. You know what I mean? That's crazy that lack of ownership can really drive you crazy, because that's kind of like, you know, that's that's that's that's like the rootest systemic racism and white supremacy. You know, the fact that we don't have the control we want, that we don't have the freedom we want, that we don't have the power

we want, that can drive you crazy. All right now, Rihanna is doing interviews and she knows people really, really really want some new music. Well, here's what she told entertainment tonight. I'm always working on music and when I'm ready to put it out in the way that I feel bit, it's gonna come out and you're not gonna be disappointed when it happens. It's gonna be worth it. I'm not just gonna put it out just because people are waiting, like it's taking this long. I'm gonna make

it worth it. And you know, she's doing press for her new skincare line, Fancy Skin, that people went crazy for when they had the pre orders, everything sold out like immediately online. So I mean, Rihanna, it's hard because like she's doing so great with everything else outside of music, but you know, we're all thirsty for some Rihanna music now. She also did an interview where you said, what Rihanna

better than met me? When my company is worth a half of Billy can kiss my ass on music, you might not even see me, I'm telling you right now, but I'm sure she cares about her fans. At the same time, I'm sure she cares, and I'm sure she loves music, and I'm sure she loves music. That was her first love so video when you were five hundred's like I go to studio, going another vacation. That's where you really could do what you want though, and be

like you know whatever, all right. Nesta did an interview with Access Hollywood, and here's what she had to say about how she felt like a clown and her met Gallet dress back in twenty fifteen. It was an iconic dress. There was so many memes created from it. She always looks amazing. We cares so much about what Rihanna wears because it seems like she never gets it wrong. But here's what she said about how she felt that night.

All the choreography of getting in the car and getting out, like we had a choreographic who sits at the door, Where does the cook go? Where do I sit? I remember being so scared to get out of that car because I felt like I'm I'm doing too much. I was driving past her Rur Carpett and I was just seeing like gowns and I was like, oh my god, I'm a clown layer. People are gonna laugh at me, like this is like too much, That's crazy because you would never think that, right, you would think that she

ate that she got up there here I Am. Everybody was talking about it. She went viral, but she would never think she was insecure about her outfit, all right, an MTV they have announced the nominations for the twenty twenty Video Music Awards.

So I'm taking my black ass upstairs to watch Black Is King on Disney Plus with my three beautiful black princessors are

right now. What is that an expression to come from bright eyed and bushytailed? I don't know, rabbits bunnies. Oh is that where it comes from. I have no idea, to be honest with you, I don't even know why I thought about that. Just now, let's see, let's see bright eyed. Let's let's google bright eyed and bushey tailed, or do I want to be bushy tailed? Bright Eyed supposedly comes from the late fifteen hundreds, while bushytailed is said to have held from eighteen sixty five to eighteen seventy,

though no direct sources clear for either of them. They were seen together for the first time in talking about a squirrel, which did in fact have bright eyes and a bushey tail. So I guess I'm just a squirrel trying to get a night this morning. We believe that. I definitely believe that. That's how I got three daughters. All right?
