Yee, good money you Danny. Charlomagne, the god beast of the planet. Is Monday's happening? And good morning Toronto. Okay, yes, it's Monday. Go morning everybody. Beginning of the work week. How y'all feeling?

I feel pretty good? Is that active weekend? I went to I'm March in Brooklyn for kids, Black Kids Matter, nice and it was right near my house. Okay, I want to say I'm blessed black and holly favorite, which I am. But somewhere, I'm somewhere between O and K. Yes, Okay, it's a rough it's a rough Lowe weekend. I want to hal Okay, it's a rough Lowe weekend, right, alrighty guys, Well it was a nice weekend between O and K O, K all right, it was a it was a beautiful

weekend here. Um, I didn't do much. I haven't been doing much that you know, any weekend, So me not doing much, it's not a surprise, but it's okay. Yeah, And it looks like we're about to be back driven in the house because I'm looking at the way coronavirus is spiking back up all throughout the country. So it looked like we're gonna be back driven, driven right back in the house soon. It's definitely spiked a couple of places nineteen nineteen states. But I doubt the will. I

doubt they'll shut the country down again. They just can't tug it out this time. Yeah, I think they know. They're looking at it like, look, people need to work, people need to pay for their mortgage, people need to get food. So it's like, look what we're gonna do, you know, I think they're gonna stop a lot of the stuff that they I think that we're gonna do, like a lot of the uh, the nightclub venues, a lot of the beaches. They're gonna shut that down a

whole lot. But we'll see, we'll see. And I don't think people people are adjusting to the new normal, Like I don't see I mean, I'm not out, but I don't see people wearing masks. I don't see people. No, I didn't see that social distancing. I don't see nobody practicing the new normal at all. Yeah. Well, York City they said they got twenty five thousand complaints of businesses not following the rules they're supposed to follow. Especially they

said the Hampton's in Manhattan had the most. So Cuomo is threatening to shut it down here. Yeah, in New Jersey they opening their opening. Outdoor dining starts today, So outdoor dining and you can actually go into stores to purchase things today. So we'll see how that works for Jersey. And I wonder if the cases are spiking because people aren't social distancing R because they do it more testing.

I wonder, you know what I'm saying. I wonder if that's the reason I actually I'm doing some free COVID nineteen drive through testing this Friday and Saturday at Benedict College, Charles W. Johnson Stadium and Columbia South Carolina. So I have, you know, essential supplies there for people like the face masks and the hand sanitizing and the scope and you

know reading materials and a whole lot of stuff. But Benedict College, Charles W. Johnson Stadium this Friday and Saturday, you can pull up and drive through testing courtesy of your boy the Hot one three nine two in Columbia, South Carolina and the big DM holding it down for me. Yeah. Like I'm like I said, I'm going out on them bout in stores now when I go grocery shop and I see hand sanitizing, now, I see masks, now, I see everything, water paper, how you name it, they got it,

toilet paper, It's out there now. All right, let's get the show cracking front page news. What we're talking about. Well, we'll discuss all the events that happened in Atlanta after Ray Schard Brooks was killed by a police officer on Friday. All right, we'll get into that next. And uh, I believe solo dad O'Brien will be joining us this morning, right yeah, okay, all right, so we'll keeping with the solo dad as well. And you know I'm moving, so

you know, this is how crazy gear is giars. She don't want nobody in the house, so it's not even like we can have movies. So we've been packing everything and moving everything elselves. She's like, I don't want nobody in the house. Just look. I'm like, I got I get it, I understand. But that just means me and log going to be moving things like a mother boy. So you don't mean moving the furniture too. We're gonna be moving everything. She doesn't going to take those down yourself.

She's TV's moving number one more scressful thing. Yes, moving is the number one. Mostly somebody can do it. And I'm about this is a fact. I know, documented numb. I'm living the most stressful thing. It's moving I'm living in especially when you live with a horder like give thinks. She needs everything like she does not want to get rid of anything. She has baby clothes, she has baby shoes, baby like all types of things. She has my jerseys, bro, you know what I used to win the five ex jersey.

She has the jerseys. I'm like, well, like she's like no, no, you never know. For it was a survey of two thousand people done in six out of ten people cited moving as the most stressful event, with the voice our breakup coming in second, according to Bustle dot com, I thought I said bussy at first. Bustle dot com dot com, Charloe, it's the breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club.

Let's get in some front page news where we're starting you. Well, let's start in Atlanta with the race Yard Brooks. He had a fatal encounter with police officers. An employee at a Wendy's in Atlanta phone the authorities. They said somebody had fallen asleep in their car and the restaurants drive through lane and at first it looked like things we're going to be friendly. They do have recorded on the officer's body camera and a surveillance camera what the encounter

sounded like with police officers. As Rayhard Brooks was cooperating with a sobriety test and also talking about his daughter's birthday here is some of that. Will you take a preliminary bread test for me? I could walk home. Myster talks right here. Do you think that you'd be in violation or something if you were to drive your vehicle? You know it's best less possible for me to part here, lock the car, and do everything that I need to do within the president of you guys. I can just

go home. I had my daughters there right now, my three. My daughter's birthday was yesterday. Test for me. I don't want to refuse any pay and yes or no, it's completely got to you us. Okay, So I think you've

had too much to drink to be driving. Chance back when they did try to arrest him, that's when Ray Schard Brooks struggled and he broke free, and there was a bystanders video that showed that he did appare to have a police taser in his hand, so he was running and he possibly aimed the taser at the pursuing officers. That's when one of them fired his gun. The officer

to fire the gun was Officer Gabrett Rolfe. He has since been fired, and the other officer, Devin Brosen, is on administrative duty right now now here is what Ray Schard Brooks's wife to Mike A. Miller has to say. I wish that they could have had sympthy or compassion. I just feel like they didn't have to be so aggressive. He was a great father, of great husband. He believed in peace, he believed in love. He was a beautiful spirit. He loved his family. He wanted to behold as he promised.

My daughter's saying that I know he wanted to come through. Now I'm I feel like I'm a statistic I'm being a single black parent and how by myself taking care of four children. It is amazing to me. It's amazing to me that police officers can be so tone deaf. The world is in an outrage because of the unnecessary killing of unarmed black people on this planet, and cops still can't help but to kill one all black people.

It's like if you get caught cheating on your woman, and you know when you're in that doghouse period, you don't cheat while you're in that doghouse period. You gotta be on your best behavior. I mean, if you're trying to get your woman back, but if you don't give a f you keep cheating. Clearly the cops don't give a f Well, the way these restaurant where this took place was set on fire and now police are offering

a ten thousand dollar reward. They also published photos of what appeared to be a masked white woman who they are looking for in connection with the fire, so they said she was attempting to hide her identity. You can see it looks like a young white woman. She's wearing a black baseball cap, a face mask, and she's encouraging. And it's a shame that that woman, whoever that is, will probably end up in jail before the police officer

that actually killed killed his brother. So it almost feels like, you know how back in the day in the constitution it was a three fifth rule black people were just property. Because clearly they care about that Wendy's building and that property more than they do the body of a black man and medical examiner's routed routed a murder. So it's just like I didn't want to pronounce that word because I haven't pronounced the right ever in my life. But it's just like when when you I don't get it,

like when a police officer I don't. I don't. I don't get it either. With everything going on in the world, Like wouldn't you'd be like, you know what, let's let's let's look at what's going on. The man has a taser, he doesn't have a gun, and the taser as bright as yellow. So it's not like it was a mistake. It's not like, oh, well, no he doesn't and figure it out. You got his car right there. So even if he gets away on foot and he told you where he lives, he said he just lived right up

the block exactly. You lost. It was his daughter. She was supposed to be He was supposed to be taking her roller skating for her birthday. They said she was dressing ready to go Saturday morning, waiting for her dad to come get her. Come on, man, come on man. It just it just really baffles my mind that at a time like this, when people are burning things down, when people are upset, when people aren't enraged, that doesn't even make police officers think twice, like come on, bro,

I'm all right, that is front page news. Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent hit us up right now, call us up. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're man or blast. So people to have the same and we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello.

But I'm just saying, you know, they're handing us rough. We

That's right, Okaye. I love y'all. I hope y'all stay safe. Y'all family, stay safe, and just stay preyed up.

Alex was up? Bro? What you what you call? When you're calling from here? Your calling from Brooklyn? Okay, get it off your chests. Yeah. Man, I'm just really upset right now, frustrated about hearing about

these lynchings that's going on over there in California. Man, And I'm just like hon to see what's going on with all people. Man, How are we gonna how we're gonna try to get the state back in order? Man? This stuff you can't getting people ready to do something, man. Yeah, Robert Fuller and Malcolm Hurst. I'm not sure what happened, but it seems unlikely that it was a suicide, according to close family and friends of those men. Yeah. I

read something yesterday that was like four those lynchings this week. Wow, it was those two brothers and a young woman and somebody else. Yeah, this thing. Yeah, it's like it's just like gotta be like some type of black pants and movement going on right now. This stuff is getting crazy man, right, Yes it is, sir, it is. Bro. It's an understatement. I wish I could tell you otherwise, but no, it had this reality of this situation. Things are pretty nuts

right now. All right, bros, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. If this is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. Eight hundred five eight five one five one. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey? T T get it off your chest. I just gotta say that all this going on, just

protecting and everything. I'm be hanging one hundred percent. But it's like they're not listening to us. They're looking at us like a big show and laughing at us. That's a white feel, and you only sphere these cups is actually going to listen to us. We have to take their buckets. We have to take your money. We have to take. Once you start taking the fucket, that's where they're gonna actually say, hold up, let's see what they're doing,

because right now these cups obviously don't care. Before they get off of it, being fired is nothing. Everybody gets fired to be knowing again, but he's not suffering any consequestion. There was a regular guy who did that murder, he would have been in jail already and then waited playing vestigation. That's right. I mean, the oldest with new people is gonna absolutely listen. We have to take their pockets. I mean I hear shall I mean talking about it all

the time, de fund defund here. But you have to even good people hear their pockets when you start taking the money. I mean motor the times. One hundred percent of the time we buy their products. We support them, and we not that you need to. We can have come together and say yes, you're not gonna shopper them because for some reason we always have to go back and shop from them and buy suffers. Look at the Jews.

Did Jews stay together. As much as they don't like each other, they're gonna support them because that's their community. That's their people. They're gonna support. We are black people. We're gonna hear somebody one of our own and don't support them and work to the white man and support them just to get by them. But if you watch the white community and the Jews community there, Suppo shut up. Yeah, absolutely right. Other communities definitely support each other. We need

to support each other. But also with officers when they get arrested, I mean, and they get in it and they found guilty, they shouldn't be able to use the taxpayers money to pay it to pay out other families that that's not right. They make a mistake. They all, yeah, they shouldn't be able to do that either. That's why they're trying to end qualified immunity, you know, so they can hold the officers personally accountable, holding sold them accountable

as individuals, you know. And that's that's my model. My motto is, uh pensions of prisons. You know, choices yours. If an officer had to choose between getting his pension taken away forever and being financially responsible to this family for his negligence, or he had to choose between you know, actually going to prison, those are two things that would probably make them to think twice about doing things like shooting brothers like uh Chard Raychard Brooks is his name, right,

Rachard Brooks in the back. All right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. If you need to vent, you can hit this something now. We got rooms all the way he has and know we played parts of Dave Chappelle's news stand up eight forty six. Well, we'll tell you how some people he name dropped are responding to what he had to say. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep a lock

this to Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club wanting everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomgne, the guy we all the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Dave Chappelle. She's filling the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Now. Dave Chappelle's latest stand up eight forty six came out last week and two people he discussed on there, Don Lemon and Candice Owens, have since responded to what he

had to say on his special. Here is what Dave Chappelle said about Candice Owens. I watched everything everybody since I seenk Cannice Owens try to convince White America don't worry about it. He's a criminal anyway. I don't care what this did. I don't care personally, Canda someones and her stinky. I don't know if it stinks, but I imagine it does. If I ever find out, I'll let you know for sure, I'll tell. Like a Zelia Banks, I'll tell now. She responded to every Democrat tweeting me

the clip of Dave Chappelle insulting me. I'm not a leftist. I have a sense of humor, and I think comedians should make fun of people. Dave Chappelle is one of the greatest comedians of all time, and I made it into one of his specials. That's power. We've arrived too suddenly into a culture where people can't laugh at themselves or want to restrain comedians. I will never be a part of that culture. At Dave Chappelle, you are a legend, and I'd love to meet you and challenge you to

say any of that to my face or lovey. He's excited about the attention exactly. You don't have to like it. But she's absolutely right in that situation. Okay. And by the way, that lets me know Canada Soones is invincible, She's unstoppable. Hating her, talking bad about her, calling her out, you ain't doing nothing but making her strongle you hate your hate for her is empowering her. What you thought she was gonna be mad at what Dave said? Just just say my name all right? Now? Now here's what

Dave Chappelle had had to say about Don Lemon. So the other night, I'm in my little clubhouse and I'm watching Don Lemon. He says, where are all these celebrities? Why aren't you talking? You said everybody? I was screaming at the TV. I dare you to save me? Now? Has anyone ever listened to me do comedy? Have I

not ever said anything about these things before? So now all of a sudden, this expects me to step in front of the streets and talk over the work these people are doing as a celebrity, asking me, do you want to see a celebrity right now? Do we give them with job? Rule things? Now? John Lemon was also flattered to be mentioned in Dave Chappelle's stand up because he said he's his favorite comedian, and here's his response to Dave Chappelle's jokes. Dave Chappelle is my favorite comedian,

and I do care what Dave Chappelle says. But I do think that this is not a moment from modesty. I think it's a moment that we should all be using our platform to do whatever we can and at least to show those young people and those people out there that we support them, and that's all they need to know. But the irony is is that his special, it is called A forty six, he's talking about this issue, and I think it's great he's using his platform to

talk about this and the way that he can. A lot of people mad at Non for that, though, because the problem with what Don did is he didn't know what people were doing. He didn't know what people had planned. He just jumped out there and started calling folks out. A lot of folks didn't like that. It just didn't seem right what he did it. I heard it live because I was actually watching it when he said, it

just didn't seem natural. It just didn't, you know. I mean, he was he was vamping, he was trying to kill time. You could tell that they were in his ear. They was showing the b roll of all approaches, showing the b roll riots, and he just started going at this is where we need to call out. Why'd you call out to cast the blackish? What did the aphony athon to Tracy Ellis Ross have anything to do with this? Come on, man, all right, now, let's discuss something else

that happened for the weekend b Simone. They were blasting her, and that is because she has a book out and she has plagiarized, allegedly other authors for her book. So a lot of people were calling for her to be canceled. Mike Mill did come to her defense. He said, give me your point. Why a girl from where we come from should be canceled because she finessed a little bit. I really want to know how people really think. And then he said, I've never even checked what she really did.

I'm just tired of seeing blacks canceling blacks. They got us ranked in last place. Already, chill with that, Ish. Well, the problem is some writers are accusing her of copying their work. L of Boss Girl bloggers became aware of the issue via email, and it's really definitely word for

word what she had written. So she said, it's been brought to my attention that Be Simone is selling a book with my content and it word for words years making a profit off of plagiarized content of smaller content creators, and caused herself an entrepreneur. And then she posted a shout of her content and then be Simone's book and she said, this is not entrepreneurship. It's disgusting. Question, real question, and I'm not being shady. What does b Simone do?

I know? She said she's she's so makeup at one time, I believe she had an old makeup line. But what what? What else did she because I don't know and I'm not saying being shade, I'm just curious. She's a comedian, she's an artist, a recording artist also. So B Simone did respond via DM. She said, if you know her, please tell her. I'm trying to contact her via DM. I would never intentionally do that. I hired a design firm. I had no idea the book was removed and I

want to handle this asap. Please tell her to check her DM. Thank you I have. I'm so confused that everything that's going on right now with this. I don't know anything about this, and that's what I'm saying. I'm confused. I thought I thought she did. I didn't know what was the book about. It was just like that, I know how to manifest. Yeah, manifest. She's the man, She's the manifest queen, right, Yes. The problem. The problem is that she plagiarized other content creators work word for word

in her book. Listen, so other people that are working. So you know, I'm hip. I'm hip hip kids, the kids keep me young, Okay, I'll be hitting up my nieces like, yo, who is what's going on here? Now? Why people mad at her? And then you know, I don't care as soon as all right now. Vanessa Brian said that her family has had to block fan accounts because of the constant reminders of Kobe and Gianna and the pictures that these fan accounts have been posting, even

though they don't have any ill intent. She said, thanks so much for all the love, Natalia Brian and I have unfortunately had to block fan pages because it's been really hard to go online and constantly see pics of our beloved Gig and Kobe under every single square of our explore pages. Blocking the fan pages has helped change the algorithm. We love you, but please understand that we had to do this for our own healing, not because we don't appreciate your love. I get it makes sense,

I get it. That makes all the sense in the world, makes all the sense in the world because it um because it's just a constant reminder. I don't think that anybody wants to forget. It's just that, you know, it comes in ebbs and floors. I felt like that this weekend with Jazzica. But you know, she just passed away this weekend. So it's just like when you go on her page, some post make you feel good, some post make you feel sad. That's just that's just the way

it is, you know. All Right, Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss Ye. Now we got front page news. Next we'll be talking about yes and we'll give you some details about Robert Fuller and Malcolm Harsh, two black men who were found hanging in California. All Right, we'll get into that next. Keeping lot this to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the Guy we

all the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news. Are we starting you? Well? People are demanding justice for Robert Fuller. He was found hanging from a tree near Palmdale City Hall in California on June tenth. He was found by a passer by at about three forty am. Now, the city did release a statement. They said his death was a suicide and they said it was connected to

the coronavirus pandemic. They said many people are suffering extreme mental anguish and the city wants everyone to know that help is available. However, Robert Fullest friends and family believed that he was lynched. They think their police jump to conclusions by ruling out a hate crime so quickly, And now the city is even reversing their stance and saying that they need to do an independent investigation in autopsy, and they do support a full investigation into his death.

In addition, there was another man, Malcolm Harsh and Victorville, California, and his body was found May thirty first, and so that's a second person. His body was found hanging from a tree outside of La Oh. For me to believe that all of these things are coincidence is especially being hanging themselves outside on trees. I don't believe that, not in the slightest and they should do an independent investigation.

They should in all three cases absolutely. And in the world where we where everything is on camera, has none of this on video. There's no like cameras outside in these areas where these hanging themselves, like, nobody sees any of this. In a world where everything's on camera at all times, nobody's getting video this. And then you remember

what they said that George Floyd. First, at first they said it wasn't because the officer's knee was on his neck, and then they had to get an independent person to come in and check it out, and they said, no, that is the reason. So yeah, definitely get an independent person to check those things out. Yeah. For Robert Fuller, they said there were no working security cameras in the area, so they don't have any footage of that. Now the mayor and Robert Fullis case said that the reasons why

they said all signs pointed to suicide. They were apparently scarred and his body consistent with previous attempts. But you know, according to Robert Fullis's brother, he said, my brother was not suicidal. My brother was just with me not too long ago, and the family doesn't believe that. Well, you never know what somebody's going through, So that's that that right there is definitely not a good excuse because you

just don't know what somebody may be going through. They may present something to you, but they may have some whole other issues going on within their mind. Right, But as a family member, I think you would feel that way also and demand an investigation and be like there

were no selling of course of this all right? In San Francisco, police officers will be replaced with trained, unarmed professionals when responding to calls for help on non criminal matters involving mental health, the homeless, school discipline, and neighbor disputes.

So instead of police officers now they're going to have people who are trained with that whole thing, because they said police officers just sometimes aren't equipped to deal with mental health issues with homeless, with neighbor disputes and things like that, and there's no reason for these type of calls to involve the police tests when things tend to escalate.

So that's their plan moving forward, and it's similar to a plan called the CAHOOTS program in Eugene, Oregon, where a medic and a mental health crisis manager respond to emergency calls for help with individuals who are suffering from severe mental illness, addiction, and homelessness. Yeah, I think that's great. I think that's great. I think I think the police should come with them, But I do, like, give you

let them start, because they see. The whole thing is is somebody a doctor will understand what's going on, can and be able to talk to somebody and see exactly what's going on, you know, at all cases. Yeah, I agree with that, but the problem with the police officers they don't know how to escalate those situations. So let's say that they go to somebody's house and you know, the person has a manic episode. All police know how to do is lay somebody down, clearly, you know what

I mean. It would be different if if if police weren't the way that they were. And I'm not saying all police are like that, but it's hard to say all police aren't like that because all we see it is the ones that are like that. So it's hard to you know, go there and just defuse the situation. But honestly, That's what I needed a few months ago, because you know, we made a call to the police to do a wellness check on someone and they said that they couldn't even go because the person, uh wasn't

in any imminent danger, That's what they said. And because because the last time we spoke to the person, the person said they were fine, you know, and you to me even though yeah, I told you, you told me that, which is bubb because one time I was out of town and I called the house. My wife didn't pick up, and I called my daughter's phone and she didn't pick up. And when I checked the cameras on the house, the

cameras were out. So I called the police to make a wellness check and they were able to do it. So I wonder if different states have different laws and different rules, because they were able to make a wellness check. You know, I don't know, I won it was in LA. But yeah, we definitely needed that. Whatever Sanrancisco got, nawt, we definitely needed that a few months ago, right, And these are non criminal calls, and I think it makes

perfect sense. You know, we've seen things where somebody with mental illness, the family member calls the police because they don't know how to handle the situation and then things go completely left. So something like this can actually prevent that from happening and helped the few situations instead of escalating them. Right, all right, well that is your front

page news. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one the NBA. Do you feel the NBA should come back? The players have had meetings about this. Some players feel like, yeah, we want to get back to the games, and some players feel like, nah, we actually have some some audio

of Stephen Jackson. Can you play the audio? Eddie. I love the NBA, man, but now at the time to be playing basketball, y'all, playing basketball is gonna do one thing, take all the attention off the task at hand right now, what we're fighting for. None of these white owners have spoken up. Yeah, they might post a video when the season start, are saying what we should do, but they

ain't doing nothing playing basketball. Angle donner, but make them money and take the attention of what we're fighting for. It's bigger than all of us, and it's bigger than the game. And I'm sad that we still got explained at the people bro. So we're asking what are your thoughts eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Seems like Kyrie Irvin doesn't want the season to begin. He doesn't want to play this season, but there's NBA players and Lebron does believe that you can still play

and impact social justice. So when we come back, we'll take your calls. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. What do you think? It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning, call in right now at your opinion to the Breakfast Club top break it down. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. The Breakfast Club, it's topic time phone call eight hundred five eight five one oh five Want to join it to the discussion with

the Breakfast Club? Talk about it morning? Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we all the Breakfast Club good morning that if you just joined us, we're talking about the NBA. Should the NBA be open? Should they allow of players to get back to playing and start playing some games? So players have different opinions on this,

right ye, he asked. Kyrie Irving doesn't think that the NBA should be opening back up into Orlando right now, and he says that there's only twenty guys actually getting paid. I'm part of that. Let's not pretend there's not a

tiered system purposely to divide all of us. Lebron believes that you can still play in Orlando and impact social justice, and he wants to return to playing Orlando, but he's also a public and prominent supporter of Black Lives Matter and social justice carts as well, and he also just started his more Than a Vote campaign now. Stephen Jackson believes that the NBA shouldn't be playing here his audio.

I love the NBA, man, but now at the time to be playing basketball, y'all, playing basketball is gonna do one thing, take all the attention off the task at hand right now what we're fighting for. None of these white owners, I've spoken up. Yeah, they might post a video when the season start are saying what we should do, but they ain't doing nothing playing basketball angle dinner, but make them money and take the attention of what we're fighting for. It's bigger than all of us, and it's

bigger than the game. And I'm sad that we still got explained at the people. Bro Stell let me ask you what do you think? What do you think you? First of all, I think it's up to the players, and I from my understanding, a lot of the players

do want to go back to playing. I also feel like that's a great platform to be able to promote everything that's happening and discuss it and play in honor of those people who are suffering and people have been killed in family members and all of that, and to actually be able to make that money to donate to causes and bring attention to things. So I do feel like you can do that and play basketball before we go to ushall Man, I feel that the players should play.

I mean, I'm you know, Lebron has made statements before wearing T shirts before the games with the world watching. Not only that, you gotta think not just a lot of these players that's making millions and millions and millions of dollars, like your Kyrie IRV and then your Lebron James. There's some players that are not making that much money and they rely on this check. This is how they

pay for their rent and pay for their family. And if the NBA doesn't play, the NBA players risk the possibility of losing all their game checks, so I definitely feel like you should play Disney open States are opening, like every the world is opening up. So I think if you say, okay, NBA not opening, I think it just hurts the players. Like Disney members pointed that out for himself as well. He said of the NBA hasn't made the money, A guy like Kyrie has not to

mention NBA basketball. It's predominantly African American and a lot about audiences too, gentlemen, I hear both sides. I respect both sides. I understand what Stephen Jackson is saying, and I understand what the people who want to play as saying. I don't think, but personally, I don't think the NBA distracts from anything that's going on. I think it actually heightens what's going on. It can bring more eyes to what's going on. At players will be out there doing

their own demonstrations, wearing T shirts, taking knees. Protesters can protest outside of the arenas. It's not like they have fans in the stands, so nobody's at harm there. And by the way, it's not like NBA players are out there protesting on the front lines. I know, I saw Russell westins of others in LA. Yeah, but it's not like they're out there every day. And let's be clear about one thing and one thing only, the NBA. That's those guys job, all right. People are going back to work, Okay.

NBA players want to go back to work, and it's safe for them to go back to work. Let them go back to work and make some money. I personally don't think it's distracting at all. I'm one of those people who knows that black people can chew gum and walk at the same time. And that's why you gotta have a mean inside outside game. Okay. You gotta have people on the outside doing what they do, and you gotta have people on the inside doing what they do.

And I think that the NBA can actually heighten what's going on on the outside. So I don't think it's distracting at all. And another concern that they have is with the ownership not really stepping up and also supporting all of these movements. And that's when you got to put that pressure on as well. Let's go to the phone line. Who's this shyant Hey, Now we're talking to NBA. Do you think the NBA should come back. You think they should start playing again? Um, I feel like that

they should. I could also argue both sides, but I feel like they should because as right now, a lot of the children are out of school, the young children, UM, I'm seeking the teenagers. Instead of them being out here or running around doing things they shouldn't be doing, they could be at the home watching a game. Okay, Okay, I mean that's that's true too. Where these kids would be, you know, doing something, They'll be home watching the games instead of being out side. That's a good way to

think about it. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. We're talking about the NBA season. Do you think the NBA season should come back? Call us up now, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, call and your opinions to the Breakfast Club top on eight hundred five five one five one morning. Everybody is Dja, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you just join us, we're talking about the NBA season. We're asking do you think the NBA season should come back?

All right? A couple of players feel like, no, they don't want to play this season, and some other players feel like, Yeah, we're losing money. We want to get back to playing, we want to get back to getting out checks. Let's open up the phone line. Hello, who's this yo from? Hey? What's up, Matt? We're talking to NBA season. What are you thinking? No, man, they should just go ahead and leave it a long chail for

a whole another season. Ain't nobody I'm protesting you to that plat form like Kylind Kaepernick did in the NFL. Anybody was gonna do if anybody really gonna be about that action, and if they are gonna protest during something, that's really not gonna make a difference right now. Honestly, why do you think nobody's gonna do that when they've done it before, like you've seen Lebron James. Then where that I can't breathe, teacher, because that's all he's done.

That's not gonna make enough change. The shirt is not gonna do anything. And if he go out there and protest, are gonna right, that's not gonna do anything. They excuse that platform somehow like Colin Kaepernicklee kneeled during national answering, and then if they made that kind of statement, then yes, I would support them coming back. I don't think they will. This is gonna make the white man just a little bit more money and not gonna bring enough attention to

the calls. That's it. They're gonna make themselves a lot more money too. And I don't know if you know, but some of those NBA players are actually funding people that are on the ground, on the front lines. They're funding some of these movements at the front line protests. Yeah, but I've heard of the fun things test that money doesn't we go anywhere. I've heard that the BLM fund hasn't went anywhere at all. So you may haven't went anywhere.

Difference right nowhere you say, haven't haven't gone, haven't gone anywhere. People got to bail protesters out of jail, right right, But that's the same the jail is not going anywhere. I mean, that's doing a lot. Those people on the front lines, protester for all of us. I mean, they get locked up, they need lawyers, we got a bail amount. So there's a lot going on, and a lot of those NBA players all funding that or helping to fund that, making sure families can travel to where they need to

travel to. But thank you brother. Hello, who's this? Hey? Are you doing? My name? Darell Man? Durrell? What's up? We're talking about the NBA season. You think they should come back this year? I do not. I agree with what we're saying. I think that right now, we got the light, we got the mantle, and we're being heard, and I think that it's just gonna cause a distraction. Um. Not only that, but with this pandemic going on in the NBA was one of the first places where the

pandemic happened. So I think we can sit out this year. You know, Lena, get everybody about to be well by next year. And uh, right now, like I said, we'd be heard. That's the main focal point. Right now, we'll see so many different places of opening up, like Disney is opening up, Broke Hershey Park is opening up. A lot of these places are opening up where there's gonna be a lot of flood of people. And you gotta remember there is no fans in the stands. It's just

those players. They're gonna be in a particular hotel and they're gonna be quarantined altogether. Okay, I mean, but still, I think, like I said in Light, of everything that's going on right now in America. I do think that it's just gonna cause a distraction. I'm gonna be honest with you. I am very confused by people saying this will be a distraction. It's not like there haven't been athletes who have played and fought for social justice before.

Some of the loudest moments in social justice history have happened in sports, John Carlos and Tommy Smith off the Olympics. People like Kareema i've Ul Jabal, Colin Kaepernick taking the knee, Jim Brown, Muhammad Ali, like these people have used their platforms to heighten whatever movement they were behind. Fine, I don't understand why we're acting like this would be a distraction. That is confusing to me. All Right, eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. We'll take some more

your calls when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Mornings, and your opinions to the Breakfast Club top on eight. I did five eight five, one oh five one morning. Everybody is DJ Envy and Jela Yee, Charlomne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about the NBA season and should it return on Stephen Jackson, he says, no,

let's play his audio. I love the NBA, man, but now at the time to be playing basketball, y'all, playing basketball is gonna do one thing, take all the attention off the task at hand right now, what we're fighting for. None of these white owners have spoken up. Yeah, they might post a video when the season start, are saying what we should do, but they ain't doing nothing playing basketball. Angle don but make them money and take the attention

of what we're fighting for. It's bigger than all of us, and it's bigger than the game. And I'm sad that we still got to explained at the people bro. A lot of other players feel like they want to play. Lebron wants to play. So we're asking eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one, what are your thoughts? Hello? Who's this? Okay? What are your thoughts? So I think at first I was torn because I was thinking, you know, they're just going back to, you know, play for the

white people's investence. But at the same time, I think this would be a perfect opportunity for them to really use their voice. Every game that starts, we hold a moment of silence. Every last player is outfitted with a Black Lives Matter teachert we make it so that they can't avoid it, like they're expecting that, you know, all of these players will go back and act like everything is normal. No, it's not normal. We shouldn't be killed

at the hands of cops. It's one thing when you have like one player like Kaepernick, you can't boycott or you can't blacklist all of the NBA players, right, you know, like if you can't, you can't force every player to do to wear that though they have to feel even

like you Yeah, I understand that. But at the same time, I'm willing to bet that most of the top line or you know, top of the market players are going to be willing to lend their voice to disco something that affects us all, you know, and tie into that. Oh I'm sorry. I kind of also wanted to tie into that, like the idea of flooding timelines and just making it so that they can't ignore it. Yesterday was Obama Appreciation Day, and you know what, Trump stayed off

a Twitter. What if we were to make it so that he can't avoid Black Lives Matter maga, hashtag, maga, hashtag Trump. Let's take it over. Let's make it so that like the K pop stars did it. Let's make it so that every image, every time he opens up Twitter, that's what he sees. Yeah, that's why I don't understand why people act like the NBA would be a distraction,

Like the NBA would just heighten what's going on. Like all the players could wear I can't breathe T shirts, and I would be even different because you'd have white players participating as well. Like athlete activism and protest through sports is important. It's been happening since I've been alive, likecking like this is new. Well, thank you, Mama, go to one more call her. Hello, who's this? Hey? What's going on? Hey? Good morning? Okay, all right, so we're

talking about the NBA playing. What are your thoughts. I don't think any sports to turn out football and our basketball and our baseball or hockey. Why this is not the time to be worried about who's playing games, who's winning trappy and feels right now, we're still not it's still killing us right now. Okay, Well, thank you, thank you for your opinion. Mama. I just I'm very confused about this, Like why do we act like sports didn't

play a role in the civil rights movement? Like, seriously, why are we acting like the Jackie Robinson to the world didn't exist. Like I don't, I don't, I really don't understand the logic. I really Muhammad Ali like that, Muhammad Ali, John Carlos, Tommy Smith, like Kareem Abdul the Bar most recently, Colin Kapernick. You know, You've always had people who have used athlete activism and protests through sports, Like I'm really confused about why people think this would

be a distraction. All right, Well, well, is there moral to the story? I don't think it's a moral to the story. Like I said, I respect both sides, and I hear both sides. I hate what Stephen Jackson is saying, I hear what the people that I want to play is saying. But I just think that you know, if they play, it heightens what's going on. It brings more eyes to what's going on, and players will be out there doing their demonstrations and you know, bringing more attention

to the cause. And once again, that's just their job. If people are getting back to work and they want to work, let them work, all right. I feel like it's like kind of like saying, don't release movies, don't release music, don't do anything. Like you can still do things and still be active. Absolutely, we got rumors on the way, yes, and we are going to talk about a versus battle that's coming up on June teenth, but

tell you who's battling. Also, Nicki Minaj was on Young Money Rady all right, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep a lot This to Breakfast Club corn listen, Oh got well, Little Wayne a Young Money radio guess who we interviewed over the weekend. Nicki Minaj. Now, one of the things she discussed was being married. Right now, listen to this out of marriage good good god man.

I didn't think it would be as freshing and calming as it is, but it kind of you know, even if you're not married, just when you have somebody that's that feels like your soul mat off, it's very understanding or understands you. It just makes you feel like you on top of the world. You know, you just need that partner. So I'm good. It also turns out the two of them really might be doing this joint album

and things might be in the works. They discuss what it was like for him to sign her as a woman, because that's not you know, people always have had reservations about signing female artists, unfortunately, and then she discusses how difficult it is to follow Wayne on a record because he's legendary. The beauty of that is nicky call fire her on her own, especially with that being me Up Scotty mixtape. I'm sure once that took off, that's when the label was like, oh Wayne, I think you might

have something here. It's open the budget. And now Eminem has been talking to a lot of people on his Young Money Radio. He's even had on Eminem, Jamie Fox, Drake Killing Mike, a whole lot of other guests as well. Looks like he's having found out. Yeah, Nora was on there this weekend as well. Yeah, see Nori on it all right. Spike Lee has apologize and that's because he defended Woody Allen. He voiced support for Woody Allen and he was criticizing Cancel Culture, and after that happened, he

has said he deeply apologizes. He tweeted out my words were wrong. I do not and will not tolerate sexual harassment, assault or violence. Such treatment causes real damage that can't be minimized. And that's all because we do know that Woody Allen has been accused of molesting his daughter, Dylan Farre when she was seven years old. Now here is what Spike Lee had to say in an interview on

in the Morning. Well, I'd just like to say, Woody Allen's a great, great filmmaker and this cancel thing is not just Woody, and I think that when you know, we look back on it is when I see that I don't know, if you're just sure of killing somebody, I don't know, you just just erase somebody like they never existed. So well, he's a friend of mine, a fellow Nick fan, so I know he's going through it right now. What was the line of questioning though, Like,

why did he start talking about Woody Allen? I think he was just talking about the cancel culture and he was saying that Woody Allen's a great filmmaker and that's just his longtime friend. So he was just talking about Woody Allen falling out of grace because of the Me Too movement, and so you know, Woody Allen also has recently put out his memoir and a lot of people had issues with that as well. All right, Barbara Streisan,

here's some good news. She has helped out George Floyd's daughter, Gianna. She's only six years old, and she gave her some shares, so she's now a Disney shareholder now. Gianna posted a picture with a post on her Instagram page and she said, thank you Barbara streisand for my package, I am now a Disney shareholder thanks to you. I love it, and dropped on the food bounce for Barbara Streisand that's good.

I mean that young lady's gonna be set for life if if if somebody teaches her how to you know, be financially literate, what she can learn. She's a kid, yeah right. She's already been offered a full right scholarship to Tech Texas Southern University in Houston, and Kanye has set up a college fund for her as well. There's also a go fund Me page that's been set up on behalf of her and they've raised over two million dollars to date. So that's how you actually help out.

AKA the Aka said that any HBCU she wants to go attend that they'll cover that as well, by the way. That's that's that's that's how all American descendants of slaves should be she should be treated. That's the kind of reparations we're talking about. Yes, for everything that you know black people have been through in this country, that is the kind of reparations they should receive. Absolutely. And you know what I love about giving her stock in Walt

Disney and Disney. That's something that you can relate to, right, you know, things that you love, and they always say buy stock and things that are important to you and that you support and that you use on a daily basis. And that's something that she can actually understand, Like, I'm getting stock in Disney. I love Disney. Absolutely, that's a great start to your investing. Yeah, just seven months ago it's like at one forty one fifty and now it's at like one twelve, so it is shoot up. So

that would be great. They said that if you would have bought a thousand dollars ten years ago in Disney stock, that would be worth more than as a February. You know, it's down a little bit right now until they open back up, but it would have been worth forty six hundred dollars for a thousand dollars a stock. I'm ten years ago, so that's a great investment. All right, I'm Mandela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye charlote ain't yes, sir, who are

you giving that donkey too? You know I need a couple of Instagram influences whose names I can't pronounce, so I'll save my energy to try to pronounce him during Dunkey of Today. Um, they don't understand what his what black faces? We gotta give him a little history lesson again them come yes, yes, yes, people still don't know a black faces. We need them to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a world with him. All right, we'll get into that next keeping

lock this to Breakfast Club, go morning. Le'll do be a dunty because right now you ask this, it's time for Donkey of the Day. So if we ever feel I need to be a dunky man, keep it with the hero. Did she get please tell me I had become Donkey of the Day to Breakfast Club Bitchy Donkey Today. From Monday, June fifteenth, goes to Lebanese vocalists Tatanias Sale and Algerian artists who Heala ben lakap Apologies if I messed up either one of your names. Pronunciation has never

been my strong suit. Now, I really do appreciate seeing people all over the world black lives matter. I have said numerous times over the past few weeks that ain't no good gonna come to America or the world until they do right by black people. Okay. When America tones fits original sin, which is slavery, through legislation, reparations, and change behavior behavior, then you will see this wicked system come to an end and a new world will be upon us. It will be a lot of devils who

refused to accept the programming, and that's fine, Okay. When God told no where to tell folks to get their minds right, get their souls right, and get on this arc because the flood was coming, most of them didn't listen either, and they got pressure washed. So all you devils who don't want to do right by black people and think whatever I'm saying is trash, let them drown. Okay. So I'm saying all that to say all you folks all around the world showing love the black lives matter,

thank you. But we live in an era of too far, all right. Everybody goes too far with whatever they are doing, and sadly, you don't know you have gone too far until you have went too far, and by then it's

too late. You are already experiencing online outrage and backlash, in this case blacklash, because you see these two Instagram influences from the Middle East and Eastern Europe respectively, decided to show their love and I put love in quotation marks and support and I put support in quotation marks. But black people by putting on black face, Yeah, that

black face. Tania had a photoshopped Angela Davis afro wig and black skin paint, and she put the caption which I was black today more than ever, sending my love and full support to the people who demand equality and justice for all races anywhere in the world. Sohila painted half her body brown with the caption just because we're black on the outside doesn't mean we're black on the inside. Huh. At first, I didn't know what the hell that line meant.

It made absolutely no sense to me because I'm all black everything, through and through and what the hell is wrong with being black on the inside. Then she explained, she says racist people are a true black hearted ones. They are black on the inside and they know it. I know what she means, but fart on that statement. Come on, Eddie, give me a little ask ask for that. Right. You can't celebrate black people if you don't know black history,

if you don't know what offends black people. Okay, wearing black face at the time like this, it's like starting a hashtag I am good campaign. Oh I'm sorry, Toronto. Can't say the N word in Toronto. So just imagine if a bunch of white people got online and to show their support, they did a hashtag I am N word campaign? Can you imagine that? What if the show support for black people, somebody decided to sponsor free Popeyes free KFC for protesters at all Black Lives Matter rallies.

Now I would enjoy it because I enjoy Popeyes in KFC, but the optics of it would be disrespectful as hell. Okay, white people moon walk away from the bronzer, all right. If you see the black and brown paint to the right, then you go to the left, to the left. Okay, what trips me out about this is what's wrong with your Google? Did you consult with anyone before you made

this movie? Do you not see what happens to white folks every Halloween here in America, White folks who decide that they want to trick or treat as their favorite black rapper. Did you not see what happened to Jimmy Fallon a couple of weeks ago when he was pretending to be Chris Rock back in the day. Okay, See, black face is not just dark makeup used to enhance a costume. Okay, Its origins are rooted in menstrel shows. Okay.

Back in the nineteenth century, white actors would put black grease paint on their faces when depicting plantation slaves and free blacks on stage. So it's not a compliment at all to wear black face. This is exactly why I don't like to see white folks kneeling at a time like this, because I don't know if they are finally understanding why people are taking a knee, are if they are making a mockery of George Floyd's death. You never know with white folks. Okay, even with these ig influences,

do I think they were trying to offend. No, but it's a part of me that's not sure. I'm just not sure because I refuse to believe that in twenty twenty, anywhere in the world, somebody doesn't understand white black face is wrong. Please give to Nia Sali and Shoheila been like Cobb to sweeps out of the hand with tones place. Oh now you are dogee, Oh the da gee, oh the day. Ye you think they were trying to nothing?

I would hope not. Yeah, I would hope. I would hope how many times we gotta say don't do it for people to really ask what I'm saying. Everybody has the Internet, everybody sees what's going on out here. You're not gonna sit here and tell me that you've never seen a white person get landed online, receive black lash for wearing black face, like come on stop, And then when being told to take it down and say, I'm

not taking it down. It's crazy, as if you're making some righteous stand the same black people that are telling you to take it down because it's a you're using your privilege to say, hell no, I know it's best for y'all. Even if you had her intentions and then they tell you take it down. This is offensive to the movement and you can't say these things and this is awful. And then you're still like, no, I'm going to keep it up. No, you should listen to the

people that you supposedly support. Right, all right, well, thank you for that donkey of today. Now, when we come back, Solo Dad O'Brien will be joining us. I love watching her on Twitter and social media talk about everything that's going on. You might have seen her on CNN and she has a new podcast right ye yes, it's called Murder on the Towpath. She's talking about the murder of Mary penshall Meyer. All right, so we'll kicking with Solo Dad O'Brien when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning, The Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We got a special guests on the Zoom Solo Dad O'Brian. We talk about Russe Limbaugh of course, not right there. All right, that's good. The good morning is assumed. Always nice to see you guys, But so why would you want to hear from Russia? Limbaugh of all the people.

And by the way, not everybody can say this, but Breakfast Club can literally dial up anybody and they'll come on and you're like, you know what, I think Rush

Limbaugh is the guy? Why? Well, No, what happened was we worked for We all worked for iHeart Media, right, and so being that we were all worked for I Heeart Media that was a corporate called corporate, convinced us that that would be a good idea because Rush had this whole thing about George Floyd was wrong and police need to be held accountable, and he wants this to change. He wants George Floyd to be the last one. And it was like it would be like a building of

bridges come in, two different worlds coming together. But you know, the problem with somebody like Russ is he doesn't want to deal with the reality of white privilege and the reality of system and racism and white supremacy. So they're or you can't ever get to what the real issue is. His entire show is built on that. His whole entire show is dismissing, denying and ignoring and lying about and

being crazy about all those things. So yeah, yeah, it wasn't us pitching like, we would love to get Rush on the show. But the idea was because we are we are alway insisted about what happened with George Floyd and wanting to make sure that those police officers do end up getting charged, right, And so the idea was, let's we all believe that this should happen. So it was supposed to be just about that one thing that we do agree on, that those police officers need to

be charged. That's what it was the idea. And he wanted to have us on because he doesn't engage with people like black people. Yeah, it was on his platform. Since you asked us about Rush though, just real quick, have you ever have you ever interviewed somebody that you really just did not like, did not want to interview,

but did it for the sake of this is my job. Yeah, And you know that's an interesting challenge, right, because you're always trying to figure out, how do you have the conversation without giving someone who's got despicable views and who really dislikes you and really doesn't want to be in an honest conversation. How do you do that without giving

them your big platform? Right? Like, how do you interview, you know, the Grand Wizard of the KKK, David Duke, and expect to have like an actual conversation which could be interesting about like why would this guy want to be the Grand Wizard of the KKK he was historically?

And yet I always find or frequently find that they kind of co op the conversation and they jump onto the platform and then it just derails, right, and it doesn't You're not really having a heart to heart about I feel this and you feel that, and let's discuss it. They're just taking the mic and using it as an opportunity to dispute stuff, and you feel like, well, shoot, why did I just give this person a platform? I don't know. Otherwise you end up just talking to yourselves, right,

and you can't do that. Back in the day, That's how it was, right, Like you would watch Oprah, you would watch Donnie Hue and it would be all of these different worldviews, Like they would interview grand wizards at a KKK are they would interview people that were on the total opposite side of them. I wonder why we don't do that more often now. I think it's because social media. Now people recognize that they can get the platform,

they can take a chunk of the conversation. There's no upside to having a conversation, a thoughtful conversation by do nothing in terms of, you know, plailing your own message for your own people. So they need to have a moment. That moment gets edited down and it gets cut and then they put it on their own platform for their own purposes. Right, the idea of a thoughtful conversation, what's the upside of that? Right now? I wanted to ask

you something else too. With everything that's been going on, you see that they're canceling Cops after over thirty seasons and LIVEPD is on hiatus, and I see some people are on social media upset about that. What do you

think about those decisions by the networks? Interesting to me that people for thirty years have been saying The Cops is racist, right, I mean it sends a message about how people in their lowest moment, who are often being chased for nest or pot or whatever and don't really have the wherewithal to have their lawyers, etcetera around them advising them. I always thought that show was racist. I

have no problem Cops being off the air. I hate that show now with George Floyd, what do you tell your kids when when they go out and about you have four children. They're going to the march this afternoon in Washington Square Park, and I was really nervous and I said, don't go for coronavirus reasons and for other reasons. And then my husband's like, they got to go. They're New York City kids, and they're young, and this is

the generation that actually is demanding change. My generation was like, you know, listen as long as we've created a panel to discuss it. And I feel like the CEO really is feeling it, and I'm good kids nixt generations like through that we want change, and I think that's amazing. So I'm reluctantly because I'm a little nervous for them letting them go, but I think that they get it. And social media, again, as bad as it sometimes, this has really been good for them. They see these stories.

It's very interesting to watch you on Twitter criticized and Trump, slander and Trump, because it seems like every day he finds a new way to disgust you. It's very interesting to watch you get more and more pissed off at Trump every day. I'm more and more pissed off of the media. Though, right, you know, if Trump tomorrow were

to stay listen, I think black lives do matter. There would be front page articles about the change in the heart of and he read it off a teleprompter because I'm not sure he could even manage it off the top of his head. There would be articles and essays and op eds written about the president who has finally seen his way and now he really is here. And You're just like, come on, media, it does discuss me.

But I'm more disgusted by the media. There's a guy I like a lot as a reporter, Jonathan Carl wrote a book called Front Row at the Trump Show. And I'm like, but you're the White House correspondent. You're calling your job the Trump Show. How how dismissive can you be of your own Wow job, that's an important job, that's an essential job, not just for you but for American and you call it front Row at the Trump Show.

It's actually a good book, but it's like, I just can't wrap my head around you have the most coveted job as a White House correspondence, and you can't stand up and stand up for the job. It's just it breaks my heart and it does disgust me. But I said, he is the president, so you got to cover the president.

It's a little bit the same thing we were talking about, right, which is, Okay, you got to cover the president, but you don't have to hand him a mic and you don't have to do analysis that says, let's cheer for him. He said, a good thing off a teleprompter. You don't have to cover everybody live, you don't. You know, there are decisions we make all the time. We decide which person we're going to put on TV. We decide for how long we decide the questions we're gonna ask them,

how we're going to frame them. Do we give them an hour, do we give them two minutes? Do they just get a sentence? So we make those decisions constantly. One hundred percent is the president of the United States. We absolutely need to educate people on what he's doing and what he's saying. It does not need to be live, especially if your goal is we're not going to air lies. He lies constantly, So if you lie all the time, And by the way, guests that I've had in the

past who were dishonest with me. Eventually I stop letting them be guests on my show. You're not doing your job as a reporter. So yes, we have to rethink how you cover the president. It's a different time, but it's not brain surgery. It's just rethinking it. All right, we got more and solo, Dad O'Brien, when we come back,

don't move as to Breakfast Club. Good morning, this morning, everybody is DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking in with Solar, Dad O'Brien, Are you surprised as an adult, I've seen you say something, and I'm from Queens, I'm familiar with the Long Island and you saying that people didn't want to sell your parents a house because they didn't want black people to move in. And that was when you was a child. Now, to see what's going on in

Long Island, it seems like things definitely hasn't changed. Are you still surprised to see that now this day and age in Long Island and what I was growing up on Long Island, people used to protest so families used to protest black families moving in. When I was in middle school, in high school, those people grew up and they still live in Long Island. It's not like they all left. You know, nothing surprises me, and it didn't

come from nowhere. There's a long history in Long Island of people deciding they didn't want black people to move in a lot of Long Islanders. You know when I lived there and growing up, would say they left the city intentionally because they didn't want to be around those people. But there was intention there. It wasn't a you know, we want a diverse neighborhoo just with a yard. So no, it doesn't surprise me at all. And you know, I think that Long Island, I mean, you look at the

law had such an incredibly deep and racist history. It's interesting though. You know, people point to Levittown, like the first development in Long Island, and they don't understand that, you know, people very intentionally didn't allow black people to buy into Levittown. So when you look at the success of Levittown, three bedroom sort of in a development's a classic Long Island development, and you keep people out and

those property values increased. All the people there really struggle with Many of the people there struggle was talking about white privilege because they don't understand what it's like that they got to live in a community where they could

build wealth. But they become very blind when you say, right, but if black people can't buy into that right, if their property values are less or almost non existent, or going the opposite direction, do you understand how you had privilege when other people did not, just based on the color of your skin. Because I think that white privileged conversation there is a complex one. People will often say

to me, I don't feel privileged. You know, you have more money to me or you you know, and it's it's really hard for people to understand what they had access to just because white people were allowed to do this and black people were not allowed. And what they avoid they avoid the discrimination that comes with presenting as a black person, you know, you know, the driving while black,

being profiled in stores that doesn't happen. Yeah, And I think because where I grew up in Fifthtown, where the latest videos of the guys talking about the the N words lover, I was like, oh, yeah, that's actually looks to the building literally, Um yeah. I think what happens is there's no critical math, right, so there's never conversations about rape because there's one black family two black families,

you'd never have those issues around policing. And I think this is why there's this big disconnect because in white communities, yeah, police are there to help you, and they're not gonna arrest your kid who's smoking pot. I know because when I was a kid, I was pulled over in a car with a bunch of my friends and people were spoken pot in the car and the police were like,

come on, guys, don't be idiot. But I tell you, if that were a carful of black teens, they would all have literally been hauled off because we've seen that a million times. So I think, you know, they just don't often understand the issues around policing because they don't live it. Right now, I know earlier we talked about the Trump Show, I do want to talk about the Solidads show for a second because I'm hearing that you have a show that you've been pitching and Lee Daniels

might perhaps be doing a show about you. So what's going on with that. I love Lee Daniels and I hopefully Daniels does my show, but I'm not sure Lee Daniels is going to do my show. But I do have a scripted idea about anchor women, and really it's about how black people in corporate America feel stuck sometimes. And because I was an anchor woman in corporate America, I might have some advits. Would imagine if you could clear people out of your maybe it's through nefarious means

to get to the top. What would that look like? That's what the scripted show we're pitching is about. And then we're in the middle of a podcast right now that looks at the murder of a white woman in Georgetown in nineteen sixty four. Did you know Georgetown used to be a majority black community in the nineteen sixties.

Now I didn't either, did not know that. So it's a story of a woman who in the nineteen sixties, a woman who's actually having an affair with Jfka who was married and divorced to it, a CIA guy in the CIA. She gets killed in her path, Mary Meyer, Mary Pincho Meyer gets killed on the tow path and they within forty five minutes arrest a black guy for her murder. He is represented by by a black civil rights lawyer, w Rowntree, who then has to figure out

how to how to argue his case. Against a prosecution team that is it's such a great story because they're they're very brilliant, but they're also very arrogant, and you know it's the arrogance that will take them down. At

one point, I'll give you a great little hint. W's trying to decide does she put her guy, the suspect, on the stand or not, and the woman who is the elevator operator fills her in on the prosecution strategy because you know, the prosecution team gets in the elevator and they don't think this black woman who's running the elevator, they don't even think she's smart enough to understand what

they're talking about. So they go through their entire case, which she turns down and tells the defense attorney, who then is able to make a brilliant decision. But also Mary Pincho Meyers doing drugs in the White House with the President jamk and having an affair with him. So it's the craziest. It's the craziest podcast with so many twists and turns. Yeah, I had a lot of conspiracy theories.

They said the CIA might have had it killed, and well it's so interesting, Yeah, because the conspiracy theories there's a million. But what's not a conspiracy theory is that the CIA came and right after her death Mary's death took her diary. It's never been seen since, Like that's just a fact. So it's just weird, like why that, what did she have in her diary? And was that in fact a reason to kill her? Now there are many people who say, listen, these conspiracy theories are insane.

We kind of run through them and talk about how some of them are completely crazy and why. But also the facts are so odd too. So it's a great story about women, about civil rights and kind of how Debbie Rowntree got to be in the position to represent this young black man who's nabbed for the murder. And then also all the conspiracy theories around why Mary Pincha

Meyer was killed in the first place. They might as well release that diary now, well, nowadays that diary would have been turned into a pen part theory for Netflix. Absolutely absolutely, and then they'd be pinching it exactly. Do you think do you think this story is better told as a podcast rather than visual? I do, because I actually I think The Big a great movie, and I've had some actors reached out to me already about doing it as a film. Um, I couldn't do it as

a documentary. There's just not enough supporting video and pictures. But what I like about the podcast is that every hour you can follow a thread kind of down the rabbit hole, and and that's pretty interesting. Solidad, We appreciate you for checking in and thank you so much. And be safe out there and make sure them kids remain safe. Thank you, guys, I appreciate I never let post write me out. I am more stressed by the American people

who support them. I'll tell you that right well. Thank you so much to solid Brian O'Brien is the Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club. This is the Ruble Report with angelin Yes, congratulations. Sianna Tella has confirmed that she

Like Tiana Taylor is a superstar. I don't give a damn. If I do give a damn her record, we'll put the money behind her. But she got a record right now that for the graduates, whatever it is. I can't remember the name of the song. I love that song.

As you know, essence Fest is not going to happen in person, and so now they're going to have two back to back

weekends Thursdays do Sundays. That's June twenty fifth to twenty eighth and July second to the fifth, So that is going to be virtually done. Lonnie Love is still hosting, and they're going to have a wellness House on Thursdays June twenty fifth and July second, and that's going to be for meditation, conversations, working out tutorials to boost your mental, physical, spiritual, emotional,

and financial well being. They'll have Essence after dark that's going to be some of your favorite artists performing at the Kickback, and then they'll have some evening concerts as well, but music by d Nights hosted by Lonnie Love. And then Sundays they'll have the Get Lifted Gospel Sunday Celebration. They shout, too, am I wrong? We're hoping some of this stuff isn't successful. And the only reason I say that is because I don't want anybody to get used

to these virtual gatherings. Like the Essence Fest should be live. BT Awards should be live. Like a lot of this stuff, I want to be there four I want to experience in the flesh some of this stuff. I'm rooting for the virtual aspect of it not to be as successful as the live events people are just trying to make right now. And it's the same thing like look with BT Awards, people are always gonna go to it, and it's also gonna air, so it's the same day kind

of a stuff airing. But we know how these corporations work. We see it all the time. If it has ratings that are through the roof and they can make the same money and get get the same ratings in revenue. They're gonna trim a lot of fact and they'll try to do this even when things get back to normal. We notice no people need to be out. People need to get out about I was saying, shout to d Nice.

member of the LGBTQ plus community. So so it looks like that's what people were thinking, right, because they posted celebrating Pride with the LGBTQ plus community and their allies this month and every month, and then they posted SpongeBob, and then pretty soon Spongeby gay is trending. But I don't know if that's necessarily true, because, as you know, the creator of SpongeBob says that he's a sexual. He said, it doesn't have anything to do with what we're trying

to do. We've never intended them to be gay. I considered them to be almost a sexual Spongeby I've been his best friend, Patrick Starfish. He's a goddamn SpongeBob to be anything? What this? Why does he have to be sexual at all? He's a goddamn square SpongeBob square pants. Why do I care what his sexuality is? What does that do for his character? What does that do for the kids watching him? For me watching him? Who cares what SpongeBob is? Seriously, am I tripping? I don't know

what everybody. Everybody's y'all woke. People need to go get some sleep because y'all so goddamn tired. You don't think well when you're tired, Like, who cares what bob sexuality is? All right, And here's something you might care about. Alicia Keys and John Legend. They are doing a versus battle on Juneteenth. As you know, this is something that has kind of been in the works. John Legend has already hinted that it was going to happen. So let's celebrate

Juneteenth with a special edition of verses. That's gonna be exciting. They're gonna be on the piano. Also, that's gonna be dope. That's gonna be dope. That's gonna be dope.

That's a very good black versus perfect perfect for June tenth. Team teeth he for that. That's a good one though.

It's a good battle Alicia Keys a good one. I like this, but I'm going to Keys the Keys to actually washed, y'all legend and beyond switch what And I like, I don't know about a good one. And I think a lot of times we get surprised the name name six Legend, Joyce um, ordinary people all right? Then the one the one that everybody plays when it's their redde did everybody play? And then you know what? You know which one I'm talking about? It's like all of me? Okay, good,

that's right. And I have a lot of times I like that weren't singles also, by the way, like she don't have to know, Yeah, Alicia got no one try to fall in people with a broken heart, no one fall in my boom. Uh, you don't know my name? Got joints, man, I ain't got you. What's the joint? She does? Ghetto story, That's what I get. Story does

ghett a story? That was my joint right there? If I was your woman, unbreakable, unbreakable Alicia was this one John Legend, John Legend, gonna get washed, he said, ordinary people in that other one, everybody don't seen it. I don't even know what the names of songs ever, but I do like and John Legend's first album also, by the way, that he ever put out was one of my favorite albums. That was an album from top to

bottom and not even skip a song. So I would say that too and get Lifted was a great album, great album, classic. But guess what doesn't mean anything yet another Alicia Key single. So it doesn't mean anything that you can't have the class album. At least she got joints she does. All right, y'all gonna stop him doing that anyway. I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report.
