This Is Your Problem too

the same bull is going on. Well, if you don't know any updates, give you updates to what's going on in Minneapolis. Will also give you updates with the coronavirus. Now this morning, before I should say last week, before the Breakfast Club went on vacation, we taped a couple of interviews. One was pretty ricky. We're gonna get that back on today and there's a lot to talk about. We're gonna open up the phone lines. A lot has happened,

you know. The DA of Minneapolis prosecuting an attorney said they don't know if there's enough information to necessarily prosecute the officers that hit different When I when I heard that that conference yesterday, so we'll talk about that. Also. They burned down the third presect. Now, the third pries Int is the preset where most of the four cops were employed by They burnt that whole precinct down. We'll talk about that as well. They've been riding in Minneapolis

and other states as well. People have been protesting, people have been arrested. It seems like there's been more police brutality all over the country. And I'm tired of people saying this, and this is what I'm tired of. I'm tired of people saying, well, you know, you don't get that mad when it's black on black crime. Well, when it's black on black people fighting each other, when it's minorities going at each other, that's weak to me. And

I'm gonna tell you why. Yes, you're absolutely right when black on black crime happens, we should be mad. But let's not change. Let's not change the goal line. That's like when you're getting an argument with your man, or you get an argument with your girl or your wife, and you start talking about well, putting up the tallest seat, and all of a sudden, it's well, you remember five years ago when you did this to me. No, we're not talking about what happened before. We're talking about this

instant right now. We could talk about that later, but right now we're talking about this and how this is affecting us and what we've seen in the last couple of days. So all the comments, but oh well, we don't know. We're not talking about that. We're talking about this specific instance. We're talking about how police continue continue to disrespect us and kill us and kill unarmed us. But we'll talk about it more and get it off your chess eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

If you want to get things off your chess, you can call us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. We're here. Charlomagne yield on vacation. Is the breakfast Clocal, Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news now while all this is going on, Well,

everything's happening in the world right now. Donald Trump signs a new law target in social media companies after allegedly Twitter started to fact check them to see what he was saying was right. So now with everything going on. This is what he signs today. Let's hear audio. My executive order calls for new regulations under section two thirty of the Communications Decency Act to make it that social media companies that engage in censoring or any political conduct

will not be able to keep their liability shield. That's a big deal. They have a shield. They can do what they want. They have a shield that I gotta have that shield. That's crazy. That's what he's thinking about in a time like this, making sure a social media doesn't fact check him. Huh. Well, In George of Floyd's case, they're saying allegedly that he worked at the same club

as the officer that had the knee in his neck. Now, allegedly George Floyd worked at a club doing security at night, and they're saying that the owner also allegedly said that this young angus is in a young individual. But this officer also worked at the same club. So I don't know if there was a previous or a prior problem, but it just seems strange that he would do that to this man and he have that have that knee on his neck for that long for no reason that

that just seems strange well. Also the attorney. Prosecuting attorney Mike Freeman said the other evidence showing no wrong and believes George Floyd's kill up might not be charged. Let's hear audio of that, and I think people will be hard press to understand. You can't bring charges at least I guess the officer who has his knee. It's a violation of my ethics to talk and evaluate evidence before we annot charging decision, and I will not do that. I will say this, but that video is graphic and

horrific and terrible and no person should be back. But my job at the end is to prove that he violate a criminal statue, which I can't see why they can't prove that immediately. I mean, the man was we all seen in the video. He was lifeless. The man wasn't fighting back. He was screaming. I can't breathe, he was screaming. My stomach hurts. There was no fighting that man. You had his hands tied behind his back, handcuffed. What was he gonna do? Karate kick you? What's the worst?

Bite you? It was three of you guys on There was no there was no reason for that. And lastly, protestersts burned down the third priest inast night in Minneapolis. That is the preset employed, which imp employed the four officers that were involved in this case. So the third Precinct was set on fire. And you know they sent out warnings last night to please back away from the third Precinct because they felt it was going to explode and blow up. But the third Precinct was set on

fire by protesters and burnt down. And that is your front page news. Now get it off your chests. Eight hundred five eight five one on five one. If you need to vent, call us up right now. Phone lines a wide open. Let's talk about it. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up, wake up. You're time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or black, we want to hear from you on a breakfast block. Hello. Who's this? Hey Christ? Hey Chris,

good morning man. Get it off your chest, Hey man, I just wanted to talk about the whole killing thing, man, And I just want to let everybody know, like this old testing. We've been doing this for like way too long. There's nothing's going to happen from it. Everybody just want to do the little MLK protest and instead of actually doing action. I believe in it, but I also believe in the Malcolm X fighting for a cause anymore. You know, I think we need an eye for our eyes and

just protest and I actually get a point across. I'm pretty sure you've seen a Donald Trump what he just said, right, Well, Paul, the Dougs. When you see the Dougs are out there riding, Yeah, how they just going to come out shooting just because we're trying to get our point across on how we feel about how they're killing us for the past few years. So I just think it's time to actually get an eye for our eye, actually get a point across to show them, like, stop doing it, and if you keep

doing it, it's going to be precautions to it. You know, all cops aren't bad, right, and you know that all cops standing up saying that this individual is wrong. So you know, so so what do you do? What do you what do you propose that we do our community to go after the people that kills us, not saying all I so bad, but the ones that's crooked doing

this stuff. They need to go after those people. You know it feels me out there and just like how it was back in the day, how you know, the people used to protect the neighborhood and those cricket cops need to be the exact same way to go after those cricket cops. Now, I agree with you. I feel like we need to we need to kind of make sure we protect and police our own communities. But you know, I mean to go out and just hurt random people

and hurt random police officers. I don't think it's the key. I don't think it's the way. I do feel you, and I do feel like sometimes they're pushing us not to do it the right way when they're saying we don't know if there's enough information or if there's enough proof, because that's bullish. But thank you for calling brother. Hello, who's this Good morning, mama, Good morning you guys. I want to get some things about my chest this morning.

I want to talk about the police. How y'all hear killing all black men and how scary it is because I have police funds myself, and this is so scary that you don't know if your kids going out the work come home. You don't know if your kids don't come home. It's just scary. I don't this is it's painful when it's hurtful, right, it's very scary. And like I said, I have two young boys, I have five kids, and it's very scary, you know, and watching it with

them and it makes me feel bad. It puts me in a feeling in a situation where it's like, damn, can I really protect my son? Can I Can I protect my child? If my child is doing the right thing, can I protect him? You know? And you can't your kids when he these questions like why the police doing this? You know they don't know. I told him the truth. I got a sixteen year old. I mean, of course the six year old I didn't tell, but the you know, the the sixteen year old, absolutely positively I told him.

I want him to see what's going on out there, so he knows when he is going out in the world, he knows what he has to stand against. He knows who he has, you know, he knows what the real world is like. It's not all peaches and cream. He knows what he has to go against when he goes out there in that world each and every day, every day. Absolutely, thank you so much. Guys, thank you. You two now get it off your chests. Eight on DRID five eight five one five one. If you need to vent hit

us up now with the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Did your time to get it off your chests, whether you're man or blast, so we better have the same. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello. Who's this? Hey? DJ? And good morning? Good morning? What's your name? TG? I'm some Minnesota. Good morning, mama, man. I just wanted to get out there, DJ. And we bad.

Our city is hurt him first of all, like crazy here, and the police is just really starting some of the stuff like they desinly starting U some of the fighters. We discovered that, and they're trying to make us Mike, we did it, and we're causing all these violent satis chests And that's not even us starting my bad. They been pepper spraying us and doing all types of stuff. So they've been starting stuff to make it look bad.

We can't ever just be our peacefully doing something. They got to invite something, and they make us look bad on TV, like savages and thuds and stuff out there weren't really there. The SuDS absolutely well. You know, we love you and you guys. Please be safe out there. Man, you know, thank you. Although you know I think I'm like everybody. I want justice for George Floyd and I want these cops to be arrested, but I also want my people out there to be careful and be safe.

You know, absolutely, me too, me too. I just want everyone to know, like, that's not it with the looting and all that, And because that's what they want to do. They want to show us looking bad on TV. They don't want us to see us on a good side and us being out there peacefully. We just want justice for this man. What he what happened to him was murder, and we want to see these put four police officers brought in. And that's really what we're wanting. And that's

why all the stuff is happening, because we're hurting. We're at our breaking point. Absolutely absolutely well, thank you for calling it. Please be safe out there. Hello. Who's this Hi? This is shy Hey Sean, what are you calling from? I'm actually calling from Heathersville, North Carolina. Good morning? This? How you feeling this dist on this Friday? You know, I honestly could be a lot there. I'm just seeing

honors with you. I was riding and I was listening to you, and you know, I think you brought a very good point about everyone bringing up the black on black crime and not having an issue, and you know, you kind of made that a point, but there I kind of I kind of wanted to add to that. It's not that we're so upset about the fact that, you know, it was more black on black. We should be more upset about that. I think there we need to be more upset about. Is police const what they

were here for. If they're here to protect him, to serve, So that is what they were trained to do. If we looked into it, and god hope did they someone did bomb the police building. If they turned around and they looked into it and this man was trained to be able to build a bomb, is he not going to go to prison for that? So why would this man who was trained to be able to subdue a man and to kill a man with his very hands, why he allowed to walk free from that? Yeah? I

mean that's a good point. I mean, I mean when that when that district attorney yesterday said he doesn't know if there's enough evidence it just it just killed It just killed everything in me because before that I had you know, I really and maybe this is just dumb me. I really had hope. I said, you know what, this guy will get prosecuted. We all seen the video. Now there was no well the guy was fighting back or the guy was no. We all seeing three officers holding

this man down, you know. And then which is another slap in the face, when they released the one of the body footage, the body camera footage, when they when they took everything out, like what kind of body footage was that you couldn't see anything. They blocked everything out, They didn't you couldn't hear the voice that was That was just a slap in the face. That just shows like they have no respect, no nothing for us, nothing.

And when I when you really look into it, you know they take advantage of the fact they're really police officers that have their own that that literally are out there watching Facebook and watching the post. You don't even have to be a police officer anymore. The crimes are solved right there, and people are fitting their guilt every day, and they are taking these clips and they are literally

going and their prosecuting these people. I just don't understand how a how a video can just deter anyone from saying Dad was absolutely one hundred percent. We have it on tape, absolutely absolutely, Well, thank you for calling Mama, and you be safe and try to at least have a great weekend. Absolutely, Thank you so much. You're having a great day and you just keep being positive out there. Thank you so much, Mama. Get it off your chest

eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, you can hit this up now. 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 you better say we want to hear from you on the breakfast Club. Hello, who's this morning? Come morning, Nick, Come on and neck you're doing. Get it off your chest, brother. I'm gonna speak on

this killing thing. Um. Honestly, I feel like we're never going to be treated right, and the easiest way to get our process to start taking the money in the power out of their pocket. Like, for instance, if we start saying we're treated eve or eagle, we're not gonna

pay factors. This is because they want the money. They want our energy, our time, our money, so once we start treating them and showing them like we don't care about their rules and what we want, and they're gonna have to respect what we But yeah, well, you know, the taxes thing would be difficult because then they'll start saying that we own money in taxes and start trying to arrest us for not paying our taxes, but not shopping in stores and really holding our money and showing

people that our money is just as valuable as anybody else's money. I agree with that. I mean, I think it's really gonna and this is gonna sound crazy, but I really think it's gonna have to get back to where we were years and years ago, where we had our own finances, our own baking systems, our own neighborhoods, our own schools, and start funding ourselves. The problem is is we're so behind with money. You know, and I'll be honest with you, we don't have a lot of

us don't don't have generational wealth. A lot of us are the first time is to even start making money in our families. So we're so far behind with that. We'll be so far behind with with technology and and books and things like that. But that's what we're gonna have to get get to and I'm hoping that you know, some of us with with some money, we'll be able to invest in our own and invest in our own community.

And I'm not talking you know, a million dollars. If you make a million dollars a year or two million, there's there's some of us that are making billions as African Americans and multi million. We have to start saying, you know, we have to be the lead and say, you know what, this is what we're gonna do. And

the same thing with the HBCUs. You know, we have all these great athletes that go to these other schools, whether it's Duke, whether it's Clemson, whether it's Syracuse, whether it's Georgetown, and we're gonna have to get to the point where you say, you know what, we're gonna hold our own and our player is gonna have to go

into our own schools, our own HBCUs. You know what that would do to an HBCU if a player like uh, you know, I don't know, like a Camelo Anthony didn't go to Syracuse and he went to you know, HBCU, or Alan Ovison didn't go to Georgetown and went to an hbc you or let's see Lebron James would have did one year in the league, and you know it went to an HBCU one year in college, or even like a Michael Jordan didn't go to North Carolina went to an HBCU. You know how that would affect an HBCU.

You know, it would definitely bring more funding. And that's why I think we're gonna have to start doing absolutely great. But it's it's bad fund. Sorry, outside of the fund, Joe, I don't know if you recall a few weeks back, I called them and I was talking about that each

one teach one message. Yeah, it's good to have money, but if we teach each other how to grow our own crops, make our own clothing, build our own infrastructures, our own homes and properties and stuff like that, we get off the wheel that they have us on where they feel like they can control. Once we get off that wheel and it starts releasing ourselves, you're right, we can now work amongst each other. They keep the peace and say, hey, if you're not gonna buy by this,

look we're gonna turn you over. Them folks that are going to do whatever they want, which so you might want to play by play fair amongst our community. You know,

we should write and and you know, a brother. That's why that's why I push financial freedom so much, and that's why I push real estates so much, and that's why I try to do my part to having some of these financial advisors and these minorities up here talking about it, because you know, you look at our community and we rent, right, we're in the projects, we've rent, we rent, and a lot of us even that we're renting, we're paying a thousand dollars to rent, fifteen hundred dollars

to rent. And what people don't know it's there's a lot of help out there. When I mean health, there's grants that I help you with your down payments, there's grants to help you with your closing courts. So for a lot of times, the same money that we would pay and rent, we can pay and we can actually own something. We can have something. And people like, well,

what does that do or what does that? What that does is that creates some type of generational wealth, meaning when you die, when you pass away, you give something to your kids and not just an apartment in the projects or you give them something, You give them equity where they can start. And that's what we need to do everybody else. You know, you know when people die, they're leave him with millions of dollars, leaving with one hundreds of thousands of dollars. We don't have that because

a lot of times we don't know. So we got to continue learning, continue to understand, and continue to stand by like stand by that make sure that we can pass on for our kids equity and not that thing we need that we need them for our people. But thank you for calling him, brother, and you have a great weekend. Man. Hello, Who's this is? Joe? I was going on, Joe? What's going on? Were you calling from? Bro? What do you hear? What you say? I'm falling from Florida? Okay, Joe,

what's up? Man? Get it off your chest? Well listen. I want to thank you guys. Every morning I listen to you guys coming on from work and I want to say, what's going on with that? George Floyd Case. I'm a police officer myself, and I honestly I am I am shocked. When I was watching it was it was bad. And I know everybody I work with we're saying the same exact thing. And honestly, man, this guy's got to go to jail. Man, I mean, it's crazy.

I don't know the whole case, and I want to jump to any conclusions, but based on what it looks like, man, it don't look good. But let me ask you a question. Let's say anything else happened? What? What? What else could have happened? It's not like we've seen a ten seconds of the video. We see minutes of the video. Like I saw the whole thing. He's handcuffed. What's the Listen, the game rule is once the handcuffs wrong, that's it. The fight. That's right. He can't do anything. He can't

like unless he gonna karate kick you exactly. You know, you know all these games the guy's handcuffs and and you know, I don't know his medical condition. Ornything that if he's combative with his feet, you get restraints on his feet. That's it. You don't have to I mean me on his throat, you know. And that's what we need. We need more officers and police officers like you to stand up and say, yo, that's wrong, it is wrong.

And you know another thing is I think we need to have an open dialogue because like I worked all last night and I can only see both you know, and at me, I don't. I don't know anything what's going on. Like I'm not studying this case. I know what's going on, but I'm like that ain't me. I don't live in that state. I don't know nothing about what's going on up there. Yeah, but I should now, but yeah, but you know, the problem is it is this has been happening for a long time, and people

don't know who to take it out on. You know, people see what happening, and then for for the the you know, the district attorney to say, hey, we don't know if there's enough information. It makes one what makes one bad apple feel like all of all the apples are bad. And that's how people are feeling like that, you know, it's it's not it's feeling like, you know, police officers have been getting away with this for a

long time, and we don't know who to trust. You know, most officers are not speaking up, so we don't know who to trust nobody. I just think about going to work and doing helping out the community the best I could. And then and then trying to come home one piece. That's my goal every morning. Well, if you if you're a good ally and and and you honestly are trying to help the people out there, we appreciate you. Brother.

We need an open dialogue and we need to tell like what that has like absolutely atrocious to what happens. Well you know this guy, this guy, this guy got murdered essentially amer absolutely, Like I said, I want let them do their thing. I don't think every officernit needs to get a death right now. I mean it's absolutely I mean I'll tell you right now, I've got like ten of them last night. I'm like, what the hell

is going on? Yeah, We'll be careful out there and continue speaking up for what you believe in and what you what you know is right, Bro, everybody all human. I'm a man just like you are. I put my pants on the same way you do. So that's all I'm looking at it. But thank you so much, bro, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. If you need to vent hit this up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, man, man,

man morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angelie Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We are to breakfast club Angeli and Charlomagne on vacation. Let's get in some front page news. Now, it's some crazy issue. Now shout to CNN. The CNN crew has been arrested while covering the Minneapolis protests, right live on television. It's the craziest thing I ever seen in You can tell that they really don't want people seeing what's going on. Now. Let me break it down. I don't know if we

have the audio job or somebody when we get the audio. Now, the CNN crew is taping and it's like, oh, they have action. They see the police officers running to arrest somebody else. He says, yeah, we have action right now, and then all of a sudden, they surround the CNN host right the CNN correspond his name is Omar Jimenez. May maybe we got audio. We do have audio, right, So, as they're surrounding him, he says, hey, I work for CNN. Would you like me to back up? Where would you

like me to go? Where I can possibly take? They say nothing to him, and then all of a sudden they arrest him and I don't see him arrest to crew. I just see him arrest of the minority. Maybe it's just me and I'm sensitive, but I don't see anybody else getting arrested on camera. Let's play the audio. Please show it up at the fire department or with the fire department apartment, I should say, on the building we

showed him that was burning. This is among the state patrol unit that was advancing up the street saying and scattering the protesters at that point for people to fear the area, and so we walked away. I'm sorry, Okay, why am I under arrest? Why? Why am I under arrestaur right now? Okay, we are with the right. So

he was arrested, he was walked, he was taken away. Now, before that, they surround him for like at least thirty seconds, and they're just looking at him, and he's saying, non confrontational, politely, Hey, if there's a problem, where would you like me to stand? If you want me to move, where would you like me to move? This is all on camera, this is live. Police say nothing. He goes, it's a problem, where would you like me to move? I will move, And all

of a sudden you're under arrest. And I only see them take him away. I don't see them take anybody else away. It's like they don't want to show what's going on on because obviously the brother was doing absolutely positively nothing. Oh my god, well last night they believe protests burned down the third precent. Now the third precent is where the fourth officers were employed, that they burnt that building completely down. And this is just this is this is just I don't even know what to say.

I honestly don't know what to say. And your President, I'll say, your president. When all this is going on, he signs an order for social media because social media is check fact in everything that he's saying. Okay, can we have audio of that? With everything that's going on,

this is what he's concerned about. My executive order calls for new regulations under section two thirty of the Communications Decency at to make it that social media companies that engage in censoring or any political conduct will not be able to keep their liability shield. That's a big deal. They have a shield. They can do it they want, they have a shield. They're not going to have that shield. Yeah,

So that's what he's concerned with. That's what he's concerned it. Now, also the district attorney said he doesn't know if there's enough evidence to actually prosecute these four officers. Can we hit this stupid statement? And I think people will be hard for us to understand how you can't bring charges at least against the officer who has his knee on that man's neck. It's a violation of my ethics to talk and evaluate evidence before we enount charging decision, and

I will not do that. I will say this that that video is graphic and verrific and terrible and no person should be that. But my job at the end is to prove that he violate a criminal statue. Has anybody else's heart hurt from that? I feel like my soul was taken away when I heard that, Like our alives mean nothing. It's not like this is a witness scene it or this is hearsay. We've seen the f and video. We all seen it with our own eyes. Oh my gosh, and that's front page news. When we

come back. My son shout to my son. My son, of course, is a rapper. He's from the Bronx. He's an activist as well. He's on the front lines right now. My son and his team shout to Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsar. They are the individuals that are on the front lines when everything happens. When something happens, they are there. They are out there protesting, they are out there organizing, and he is our eyes out there, and we're gonna talk

to him when we come back. We're gonna talk to my son eight hundred five eight five one oh five one's. He's been out there for the last couple of days. He's been shot at by rubbe bullets. He's been you know, affected by tear gas when tear gas was thrown at them. He's been protesting at the officer's house that put the knee in George Floyd's neck. He protested outside of the district attorney's house. He's been protesting outside the police station.

So we're gonna talk to my song when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club now, Charlomagne and Year on vacation. So I'm holding it down and I got my brother, my son on the line. My song, how's it going bro, I'm blessed king. How are you doing, man, I'm doing pretty good. Man. So for people that don't know, you're out there on the front line. You've been out there

protesting out in Minneapolis. So what are you seeing out there? For people that don't know, and you know, want to know, because all we see is what the media puts on television. So what are you seeing out there? Thank you for having me. I've been here for the last three days. Then, I want to say. We got here on Tuesday, and it's definitely been a lot of protesting. Man. We've been pretty much to the site where the brother George Floyd

was murdered at. We protested in front of the officers home, Um, we protested at the DA's home, we protested at the precincts. So I've pretty much seen every aspect of the protests for the most part. You know, the media is trying to project as if it's just been some violent protests and just there have been things. But I wanted to tell you that most of those the violence or the violent nature of it, because there's amongst the protesters there

has been no violence. You know, there might be a little disagreement here and there, but for the most part, the protesters ang was the system and the police started. They have initiated violence by shooting rubber bullets off the police station. They've been drawing tear gas, they've been throwing kinds of smoke bombs off the off the present. So that that's from when I got here. S's Tuesday. That's

where I've seen, you know, the negativity start. Sure there's been there's there're angry people, but they haven't been any weapons. We haven't I haven't seen anybody shooting anything. Most of the times the protesters have their hands up. I've seen officers point blank shooting protesters that walked just like this, the hands up with rubber bullets, throwing tear gas into full crowds. You know, um, people are angry, and you know they're angry. Man, you've seen the same thing we've seen.

You know, the district attorney here um to ignore that and then come back yesterday and say that he didn't see anything that was a crime. You know, it's it's like it's a slap in the face. And you know we most times people people don't want to be here. We want to it's a pandemic. You want to be home with your family. You know, you want to make sure that you say the fact that we have to actually have to be out here to demand justice for something that the whole world see was murdered. You know,

it's it's just it's just disgusting. You know, it's really disgusting. Now. You know, people are reporting that they've seen police officers and I don't know how true this is. Are they've seen police breaking windows and starting fires. Have you seen any of that. They're saying that it's not necessarily the protesters. They said it starts from possibly the police breaking these windows and possibly the police starting these fires and then blaming on the rioters. Well, I mean that's pretty much

one of the tactics of this government. You know, they put agent Provoca tours into the crowds and the protesters and they create the most havoc and then they you know, they blame it on the protesters so they can have reasons to unlock up, to harm and do things to protests. That's a strategy that's been used for years. You know,

I've seen the video. I cannot confirm nor deny if that is actually the officer of who was doing that, but I'm just saying that that that strategy has not it's not anything new, you know, as as somebody who's been protesting for the last eight years. You know, I've I've seen, I've heard, you know, I've been a witness to them. You know, the government and the system putting their spies into the crowds, and they'd be the ones who are actually the ones initiate any level of crime

or violence. Now also seen video and you said you were protesting outside the officers house. Now we've seen a video where it looked like they might have been like a hundred officers outside surrounding his house. Was that true?

That is definitely true. We were standing there and there was a line maybe started out with about twenty thirty officers, and then out of nowhere, another eight of them came out of nowhere and they just stood there riot gear full rider gear um and you know, just to intimidate the protesters. And it's sad, you know, it's just this whole situation is just sad, and we're just looking at it. Most of these people are traumatized. We're dealing with a

level of trauma. You know that that is beyond anything that I've seen like I've seen. You know, I was, I was really young the rocks while it's happened, and you know, I was, I wasn't actually present at the Ferguson situation, but this is something that I've never seen, and I realized that we have reached a balling point in America. You know, I think the victimization and you know, disregard for black lives, for black life has come to the point. And it's not just black people out here.

They are way they're probably more white people out here than they are Black people, but they are a united front. Everybody has come to the consensus that what is happening can't keep happening, and they don't care, you know, they are they're not scared. Then they're taking the tear gas and they're coming right back. Yesterday we were out there and before the precinct was burnt down, you know, the police, the police had came out because people were knocking on

the precinct door. The police, you know, they have boarded everything up, and most people thought that the police weren't inside. And then next year, you know, when they started to being on the doors, the police came out on the roof and they started shooting bullets, and they started throwing you know, tear gas, and then the crowd dispersed because when they if you don't know anything aboudy, when they throw that tea gas, it spreads for blocks, like it

just starts to spread. So everybody's running, trying to clear their eyes, point milking their eyes, do whatever they have to do. And within another five or ten minutes, the protesters came right back, you know. They just they they all fit up, you know. And the next day I heard that the police station haven't burned down. And we do not want violence. And I say this a thousand times.

Nobody's advocating for violence, nobody's advocate for negativity. When I'm having these conversations with these young people from our communities and I'm saying, let's let's let's go about this, let's march, let's protest, they look at me there in my eyes

and said, they tie the marching. You know that we've been marching for hundreds of years and they're still killing us to these streets, you know, and they're saying that the only thing that this government respects is loss or something, you know, And this is the mindset that they have and they don't want These are good people. These are not criminals. These are not people that's in the street that's doing things like that. These are people who have

done everything right. They've done it, They've got jobs, they want to school, and they reached the point where they say, you can't keep taking out alive wanting us to be peaceful quote unfold. You know, this is not you know when they say no justice, no peace, this is the no peace. And nobody wants to hurt anybody. This that hasn't anybody hurt anybody. But this in this property and the capitalistic society that we live in, is what's led

to the disregard for black life. You know, These these corporations who make billions of dollars and you know, and they fund these government officials and which fund our police system. Is the reason why that they disregard our life. So they don't see or care about these corporations or these businesses that they're burning down, you know, and the police stations symbolize is the biggest symbolization of what has disregarded

our life so so long. So when you see people celebrate the burning down of the present, it's not about violence. It's not about wanting to harm anybody. It's the symbolization of something who was something in a government body that has harmed black people for so long actually being destroyed. We got bore with my son. When we come back. He's our eyes on the ground. He's on the front lines. He's out there protesting. He's just filling us in what he sees out there. Right we'll talk to him when

we come back as the Breakfast Club, gomarit morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with my son. He's in Minneapolis right now. He's on the front lines. He's telling us what he sees. And I mean, it's all good to see it through the media because the media

could depict what they want us show. But he's there, So my son, I get a lot of people and even seeing on my thing, and you do, and you do both, So you're a perfect person to anton this. People are saying, you know, how do we get so upset when other people kill us? When we kill ourselves all the time. And I think, you know, you would be a perfect person because you're on both sides. You're you know, kings can't kill kings, march and you you try to just advocate for people. It's just not be

violent towards each other at all. So when people say that, you know, like, hey, we kill each other, what is your response to that? For us all? My response for that is the one I want people to really understand is when we kill each other, which is happening, you know, with it is poverty, there will be violence, right, you know, And and that's those are just facts. If you if you change the realities of our communities, if you make sure that people in our communities can eat and survive,

the violence will disappear. But the government knows that, and that's why the poverty rate in the communities that we come from hasn't disappeared. Because violence is a necessary component to the capitalist society that we live in. They need violence so they can feel jails. They need violence. They need us to continue to kill each other. So this

that is that structure has been fed. What I say is when we kill each other, which is by no means anything good for us to go for when that happens, Jay and Joejoe going to go to jail for the rest of their lives. You know, when they're court, they going to spend the rest of their lives. We're gonna lose the person whose life they took in the person

who took their life. The police are not being held accountable when we have to sit outside and witness on tape somebody a man sitting on a man's neck, you know, with no regard for his life, to look you in the face in the camera, knowing that he's sitting on this and the man is telling you that he can't breathe,

he's calling for his mother. When those things are happening, and they can tell you that they don't see a crime, that right there is one of the biggest miscarriages of justice ever and that is by the system and in the structure that is supposed to protect and serve. If the people was supposed to protect us or the one killing us and they can't even be held accountable, then

we don't have a chance. So when we compare the black on black crime quote unquote that they say, which is a myth because most people, anybody crime, crime is committed by the people who are closest to you. This we don't say white on white crime because whites killed more whites than blacks kill blacks. That's a fact because during the numbers tell you that if you google it and you look, more white people kill more white people are black because they are the majority in the world.

So that's a fact. But we always want to give this, Oh, but we kill ourselves. Yes, we kill ourselves, but we are going to be held accountable. What we are asking for in this moment is accountability. Envy. If they would have locked those officers up and said, okay, they committed a crime, we would not be here. Why do why does Why is the loss of life, the loss of black life, not as valuable as a loss of property in a mirment? Why do they value property more than

they value us? You know? And that and that's something that we really have to ask. So when people say that to me, I say, I understand because I advocate for kings to stop killing kings. I want us to protect ourselves. What I understand the reality. Also, I understand if I can't change your reality, if I can't feed you, if I don't if I don't make the block, you believe that the block is the only way you're gonna survive, So you have to fight your brother who was fighting

for the same crumbs that you're fighting for. But I can't change that reality. I know that the reality of me stopping the violence in our communities, it's gonna be very low. And they know that as well. You know, if you look at hip hop, if you look at hip hop, these the same people that come from hip hop that are now millionaires that go and they moved to these nice areas and they pieced for and they

support and these people came from that violence. The minute that you change their circumstances, they an't know they commend crown. They wothered about what they had to do. So that that theory is something that we can't allow them to play on us. Because most people who are who actually have gained some level of stature, who have got some money, they utilize these platforms. They want us to say, look,

well we kill each other. They want us to say that, and if you haven't, if you don't understand the dynamics of that, we utilize that and we weaponize that against ourselves. Man, you know, I heard how did hear the exact words that I heard was khalifa and then was mad. They say, oh, we shouldn't be doing this. You know, I understand what. We can't be doing this to the communities. And it's something you can't tell people how to vent their anger,

especially when you ain't never done anything. Sometimes you just gotta be quiet, You just gott you have to be quiet because this is not your field. You know, this is something people people have been on the front lines of this for a long time, and we've been preaching peace. We've been advocating for peace, and we've been doing it the right way to going to school and we've been telling these kids. But at some point, at some point, the piece that you talking about, the piece that we're

talking about differentiates. There's a difference between it because we get to a point where you cannot You can't keep kicking a dog before he bites you back. All right, we got more with my son when we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club, Good morning pointing. Everybody's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with my son. Now. My song's out in Minneapolis right now. He's actually on

the front line. So he's our eyes and is so for people out there that can't be out there, that can't make it out there, that just want to help. What would you advise that they do? How can people help? You know, what I tell people is there's so many different entry points into this movement. You know, some people on social media all day. Sometimes you have to lift the words that we speak on your social media. You know,

that's a very big platform right now. We realize, especially during this pandemic, that spreading the word through social media, especially through social distancing in East Times, you know, that's a very big platform. So if you have a platform and you have a voice, utilize that to spread the message that we have. You know, show that you are aliged with the you know, with justice, that you are

alive with what it is that we're fighting for. And as you also, as you said, you can donate to organizations. You know, if you see the people doing the work. You know, there are people like our organization Until Freedom

that you can donate to. You know, we have a website, we have a Instagram in page, we have cash apso because as you said, we've been out here for the last five days and it's expensive, you know, we we unfortunately, we were we came to Kentucky, first with Rihanna Taylor, the young lady who was shot eight times in our home by the police who did a no knot grade

and ran into didn't even run into a home. They shot through her home and be shot through the windows after they kicked her door through, and a boyfriend shot one shot as a warning shot because they thought that he was being robbed, and he shot through this woman's home and shot at eight times. They shot over thirty shots after they didn't even say hello, this is the police or anything, and they killed this woman. This was

a good woman. She was an EMT worker. She had nobody said a bad word, so we had to go there to protest for her. Then we drove down the block to Indianapolis, where a young man, Chaal Rose was shot in front of his home by officer who was unarmed. You know, said then to hear on the way from there that this happened to George Floyd. So we didn't anticipate being a way for over a week, having a drive. We drove from Indianapolis, a ten hour ride. We had to come here, been here for the last four days.

We got to pay hotel feeds. You gotta eat, you gotta survive, we gotta take the planes. Probably gonna be here for extended amount of time until all this blows over because it looks like you know, the da IS still hasn't seen evidence that it's criminal. So you know, we want to be here to uplift the voice. You want to be on these front lines. We want to make sure that our voices have heard. You know, you want to continue to just to stand up and be on the front lines for people who can't. So yes,

we do need the donations if it's possible. You know, there are so many different ways. I tell people. You have to utilize your yount have to know what it is that you can do that can contribute. You know, sometimes some people don't have them, but we have people who have donated three or four dollars to us said that all path and you know those three and four dollars mean so much to me because I know that

you you don't really have that. For you to give three and four dollars, that means that you really wanted to donate because you really want change, and unfortunately these are the times we are in. So you know, any donations that you give to our organization, we definitely appreciate it, and you know, and we're going to utilize it for the people and we and what we do also is when we are getting donations, whatever city, we go to their grassroots organizations in the cities that we actually go to.

So as a national organization, we come and we bring those resources and we donate to the to the grassroots organizations who've been doing the work in the cities. Like right now today we have a press conference, you know, and a lot of Stephen Jackson is going to be there, and a lot of different celebrities are going to come in to speak on behalf and demand justice here and there's organizers who've been here, you know, we've been here

for years before. When Philando cast Still was killed in this is the same town that Philando cast Still was killed in, you know, this this is the same town a young Somali officer accidentally shot up a white woman, you know, accidentally shot and he senses this officer to twelve years. You know, he's he's he was locked up, arrested and he's doing twelve years in prison. So we know that they can charge officers for killing so they just they just don't do it. When it's us, you know.

So those are ways that you can support us. Man, anything but any but just do something. I see people on live. You know. The thing that pisses me off envy is when people are one telling me what I do doesn't matter, or you shouldn't be nobody kids. You need to be doing that. I tell them, won't you do something? Just do anything. I don't care what you do. And don't tell me to do something that you're not

willing to do. Don't tell me to go out and shoot and do this and that when you I didn't see you just go out and said nothing, you know. So so you know my song. You know, we gotta go on right now. But I appreciate you so much, and we appreciate the fight, and thank you so much for checking in and being so so real with it, like you are unapologetically the person that you are, and we're grateful and we thank you, you know. I mean, we definitely do and shouting to Nika Mallory and Lindau

side so I think they'll outdate with you. And we appreciate old you guys man, and thank you so much. And we'll continue to push and we'll continue to have you back and thank you brother, thank you for always supporting us. Have you man, and we're gonna continue to fight until we can't fight no more. So yes, until freedom. All right, Well, continue to check in and appreciate your brother. Be safe you too, love bro. Morning. Everybody is DJ

Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Good morning now, Charlomagne and Ye are on vacation. I'm holding it down. We're gonna open up the phone lines when we come back, all right. Usually we do don't get the day here, but we're gonna open up the phone lines. Eight hundred five eight five, one oh five one. If you want to vent a lot of stuff is going on, I'll give you some updates. So the district attorney said there might not be enough information to actually

charge these for police officers. Do we have the audio play audio dramas? I didn't tell dramas the audio was playing. So we'll get Hi a second to pull it up. And I think people will be hard for us to understand how you can't bring charges at least against the officer who had his knee on that man's neck. It's a violation of my ethics to talk and evaluate evidence before we adopt our charging decision. And I will not

do that. I will say this that that video is graphic and horrific and terrible and no person should be that. But my job in the end is to prove that he violate a criminal step. And when I heard that yesterday that the killing, of course hurt my heart, but that even that, that damn it took my soloway to just make it seem like, hey, we killed you and there's nothing you can do. We're not even gonna necessarily prosecute. That's what that That's what I took out of it.

You know. Then I see yesterday they released uh, I guess one officer's body cam, and the body cam was was bull I mean everything was blocked out. They pretty much blocked out what he was saying. It was like, why even release it. There's nothing that you could get out of that bodycam footage. It was nothing that you could get out of it, nothing that you can see, nothing that would made it more understanding. There was nothing. It was. It was like why even put it out?

That was even more of a smack in the phase. Well, last night rioters burned down the third priest in Minneapolis. That's the priesson that the four cops worked at. They burned down the precinct. Donald Trump sent in the National Guard, and what Donald Trump wrote on Instagram, it was just disrespectful, like like this, this is what Donald Trump, you're president roll. These thugs are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd and

I won't let it happen. Just spoke to the Governor Tim Watson, told him that the military is with them all the way. In a difficulty, we will assume control. But when the looting starts, the shooting starts, thank you. What does that mean? I take it as its open season right when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Is that? What is that? What your president means by that? But let's open up the phone lines. Man eight hundred five

eight five one o five one. Would love to hear from you, just your your your thoughts, your opinions on everything that's going on. Phone lines are wide open. Eight hundred five eight five one five one. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the breakfas his club. Now we're just taking your calls. Man. A lot going on in Minneapolis. They burned down the third Precinct yesterday. That was the

priestin that the four officers worked at. This morning, the CNN crew was arrested, which was crazy. They were arrested live on air. They were reporting, and you know, the officers surrounded him and the gentleman was like, all right, well would you like me to move? Where would you like me to go? You know, if I'm too close? Where would you like me to go? They said nothing for about twenty thirty seconds flat, and then arrested him. He said, well, why am I getting arrested? He says,

because you were told the move and you didn't. He asked on camera, well, I heard he has been released the whole Crewise, I didn't know the whole crew was actually arrested, but the whole crew was arrested and they would have been released. Right. Let's go to the phone line. Let's talk to the people. Hello, who's this hey, Denise? What are you calling the front? Georgia, Georgia, come on to mama by it. You know it's sad as a parent of true African American man, and we see this happened.

I can in a Kim and a kids. If we don't stand up for something, we'll expect anything, right, absolutely right? What are you telling your boys? What are you What are you telling your young kings? Because I have two

and I'm just being really honest with them. You know, I showed them the video just so they I haven't shown my six year old, but I showed my sixteen year old boy and my eighteen year old daughter just so they see what's going on and so they know what to prepare when they go out every day in this world. Now, you're right, You know my sons are grown. I have one in the military and one is a pony's officer, and I tell them each every day. I don't care where you are in the beginning of your life.

You are an African American and you are male. Man. You gotta stand stronger than anybody else. You gotta be smart against health and you just gotta push through. But it's these days and time for you all at sure agents is different. And when we were glowing up, Yeah, well, thank you so much. And I know you calling from Joe, so you better not be out and about for with with with with coronavirus. And I know they opened up the state a little bit, but you better not be

out and about. Oh I'm not. You have a good right to have a great weekend. Hello. Who's this Hi? I'm Charlotte Jones. Hey, Charlotte, what are you calling from? I'm in my Gumre, Alabama to me this morning. I'm doing well. How are you feeling out there? What's on your mind? I'm feeling I'm feeling great. I'm I just see you guys every more. And I just wanted to share a solution that I came up with that I think that all black Americans can be involved being right now.

You know, I sit back and I looked at everything that's going on, and I see the protesting and I want to be there too. But and I'm mean, and I'm sure others Black Americans want to be there too, but everybody can't get up and go protest. I came up with a solution that everyone can taking advantage of it. No justice equals no shock um every Friday and satigy.

I that idea from a mont Aubrey's taste. When it took us two bunch to sign out about his incident, I took two days of shoppers for that, and I think that Friday in Charity will be a great thing get Black Americans and taking advantage of that. And we need to shop with our own black businesses. On the other's day, I think taking our money out of the market is a way that we can get some solutions to these problems that we're having. You know, everybody is

looking for a solution right now. That makes sense along with the protesting in so many other ways that you can address our racial injustices. We can also take our money that kind of the market too, and that's something that everybody can participate. You Yeah, and you know I agree with you. I agree with you when when we need to hold a lot of dollars, I think we need to start buying and investing in empowering more of

our own I think we need to. You know, I've been big on the real estate to owning our own properties, investing in our own communities so we don't lose it. So I agree with you one hundred percent. But you know, as businesses, we need to make sure that we have more black banks that can actually lend the money. You know. The problem is is, you know, I'm a I'm a guy that invests a lot and a lot of times when I try to go to our own to get a lot of these loans, they just can't give it.

They just don't have enough ones or enough leeway to actually give the loans that I would need to purchase, Like I purchased a school in New Jersey, and I purchased properties and buildings and and I try to keep it for ourselves, but a lot of times they don't. And we have to make sure that we can go to ourselves. You know, we talk all this about financial freedom, but if we still have to, you know, borrow money from not our own, it makes it difficult because now

they're judging us. They can tell us, oh, I'm gonna give you this money or I can you know, and we need to make sure we, like you said, invest in our own. And thank you for calling. Okay, thank you? Hello? Who's this? You know, you know everywhere we listen is Tyler man? All you from? What's going on? What's going on in the shottown? Brother? Oh man? It's uh, you know, it's it's crazy that here, man. I mean, we're I guess starting the process to open their law, but everything

is still shut down. I mean, it's like people are not thinking serious. Man in my community in particularly, but we see our my brother's sters not winping the mask, you know, when they're just walking around our side, and it's really annoying. It's just you know what you're saying. Right, But but I put it to you like this, right, because at first I was the same way. Yoh, you can't go out, you can't do this, but you gotta think about it like this, right. People need money, you know.

They gotta pay for rent, they gotta pay for carnals, they gotta pay for food. They gotta pay for electricity, to telephone, cable, water and all that. And if I can't work and I can't go outside, I can't make the money to support my kids. You know, some people are lucky. They they're still working now, they're still making money. Some people are lucky they have savings, but some people don't, you know. So it's like they gotta open up the country and I get it. You know, we gotta just

be extra careful. We gotta move careful with masks. You gotta wipe everything down. We gotta make sure that we protect our immune system. So I understand. You know, this goes on and we open back up. Now you know, we're having our brothers, you know, getting killed out here just as we start to open up just a little bit. All this crap all it now it's just called the just mass chaos standard. It's absolutely ridiculous and I hate this.

I hate seeing like, yeah, I agree with you, I agree with you, And for myself, it's like, you know, how do we how do we raise how do we raise these kids? How do we raise our kids? You know? Profibly? Give the day for you learned to Charlotte bays Off. Yeah, sure, go ahead, bro, And look, man, I just wanted to

give it out to Central Park Karen's own. Uh. You know, Andy Cooper definitely deserves arf you other day for how she was treated and absolutely just you know, followed reports, you know, using his black lip as a crime and a weapon again to knowing that that would be something that actually ultimately can hurt him. So she definitely the ss off you O the thing for that. I'm glad she was fired. She was getting rid of the hall somebody.

But yeah, man, that absolutely yeah, I'm glad she was fired, and I'm glad they took her dog away from her. But thank you for calling brother. All right, I think Charlotte May would respect that donkey. I think he might have gave a donkey too, but I can't remember. But anyway, eight hundred five eight five one on five one. We're just taking your calls. Man, I just want to hear your thoughts. It's the Breakfast Club. Go morning, DJ, Envy,

Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club now, Charlomagne, ye are on a vacation. I'm holding it down, So I'm taking your calls, man, just letting you guys speak. Man, what's on your mind? Let's talk a lot going on? Hello, who's this? Good morning? Envy? This can Hey? Where you calling from? South Carolina, Columbia? All right, what's on your mom Mama? It's real heavy today, you know, Like I'm I'm like really pissed on, to say the least. It's

just exhausting being black nowadays. And I mean, I feel like we watched this man's life leave his body all together, and for the DA to say that he has more evidence that's coming that doesn't support a criminal charge, it's just it's like you're playing in our face at this point. Yeah, I mean, it's so difficult and so hard, and like when I say, I feel like my soul was taking out my body. It's I watched the men die, and I'm upset that I watched it because that's something that's

all on my it's on my mind. I see that officer's face, that devil's face, just kneeling on his neck and just looking like and what your arm comfortably in your pocket, like that that person isn't resisting, and the fact that you had two other officers on the side of the sub holding him down, Like what are we waiting for? It's like you guys are they're piscing on our head and telling us it's not right. That's exactly

what they're doing. That's exactly what they're doing. And like I said, it's it's it's where do we go from here? It's like like it's it's no respect for life, like you kill listen and be like, oh well, I don't think there's enough evidence. And we're sitting here looking like, bro, you don't see the same video we're watching. Is there a different video that maybe you got the wrong video? They send you the wrong video, Like it just doesn't

make sense. It doesn't. And the President like, he just showed us how easy it is for him to sign an executive order if he's passionate enough about the subject matter. But it's kind of pathetic that you're more passionate about being fact checked on social media versus being passionate about some sort of initiatives to hold these police officers accountable. I just terminate an employment. That's not enough. Is that crazy? Though?

From the higher coronavirus COVID nineteen, police brutality, all that going on in the world, and you're more concerned with them fact checking you, Like, isn't that crazy?

eight five one five one. I mean, I feel like it's only right to do a mix, a positive mix, and I'm talking twopoc changes, fight the Power, you know, those type of records. Let's get that all. Let me know what you want to hear. I got you as the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line today, my brother Caesar, what's up season, It's gonna good morning, good morning,

good morning. You up early today? Huh every day, every day, every day, so all week long, you know, while I've been holding down to breakfast club. Angelie and Charlomagne are on vacation. I just wanted to do some financial literacy to try to help people get to generational wealth. So the other day we had matt On and matt with telling people how they can get grants to help them with their down payments and telling them about the low

interest rates. And we had the credit dude called up Jose who was telling people about, you know, fixing their credit during this time and what they needed to do. Now with you, I wanted to talk to you know how you started, because a lot of people feel like to get into the real estate game, you need a lot of money. You know, a lot of people don't know that your dad was actually a taxi car, a taxi gab driver, that you are locked up for a little bit and when you got out, you didn't really

have much money, and you got into real estate. And this was kind of the time when you got into real estate, when everybody was running away, you jumped in. So let's talk about that a little bit, how you got into the real estate game and how that time reminds you of this time. But when I first got I got into real estate back in I want to say, oh eight, So that's pretty much when everybody was running

away from real estate. So it's kind of funny because right now a lot of people are scared to invest in real estate, right, but it's not as serious as back then. Back then, it was just a total crash. You know, nobody wanted to invest. It was almost impossible to get a loan. I had no money when I first started. You know, I had to borrow money for my first deal, sold our car, you know, paun Gen's engagement ring, got rid of my chain, you know, whatever we had to do to get that first deal going.

And it was a time where banks weren't really lending even, you know, even to get a hard money loan. Back then, it was almost impossible if we didn't have a track record, because everybody was losing money, right And I just jumped in and I did my first deal. I made seventy thousand, and I kept on going since then, fourteen years later, Now, with your first deal, how much if you paid for your first property back then. It was a three family home, and I believe I got it for damn that was

cheap fifty thousand, fifty fifty. But you actually lived in one of the unit's correct, Uh No, you didn't leave in that No. I had the first property ever about was a two family right, just like everybody else, I bought it at the height of the market. So I actually bought that property before I was going into prison, because that's when jan had come out pregnant and we always said, you know, we want our own house. So that's that was the crazy days when you had those

stated loans back then. So just like everybody else, I messed up. I paid four hundred thousand dollars for a house. My interest rate back then was eight percent, which is crazy when you think about that now when rates like three percent right now, right, But that's when I started with an eight percent rate. I couldn't afford the house

that I bought. It was based on my credit and that was the first property that I bought, and I ended up losing the house to foreclosure for closure, And then when you figured it out, you were able to buy a three family house that had more than for fifty thousand dollars where it was able to help you make money. Yeah, because you know, like back then it

was kind of crazy. Man, you used to buy a house, right, Like the way things were set up, You buy a house today and you would refinance and cash out tomorrow, right, right. So I bought this house that wasn't worth what I was paying for it. And it's funny because then after I lost that house and ended up selling, somebody bought it as a foreclosure for like a buck fifty wow. Wow. So we're talking this season, we're talking about his first deal.

The reason I'm bringing everybody up to talk about generation of wealth and getting in the real estate is because this is a perfect time. I tell people that need to plan what to do outside of this pandemic when this pandemic is over, and right now real estate, it looks like you can get a great deal right now

in real estate, it's not too saturated. People are not bidding like crazy, So people can actually get a great property two family or three family that might not be crazy in price, depending where you're living or where you're looking correct, Well, it all depends, man. You know, the last three months, things got a little bit slower, right, besides the fact that you know, you can refinance and get a great rate. So things are a little slower. But I'm gonna be honest with you, things are picking

up already more right, the markets getting busy already. Like you know, you might still find a buyer that might be a little desperate and you know that they're still kind of worried about what's gonna happen, and you could probably get a better deal. But it's not gonna be nothing. Crazy, man, Once the buyers come out in the next couple of weeks and everybody feels comfortable and buyers season finally starts,

b it's gonna go crazy. It's gonna go crazy the last year because there's no inventory and rates are even lower. You know, you're talking about last year. You were talking about a three point seven five rate, which is still low as hell, right, the average back then. Now you're

talking about the way that the market is fluctuating. You talking about two point seven five till you know, three percent, So that means on a five hundred thousand loll a five hundred thousand dolls loan, let's just say rate rot wise he talking, you know, just averaging out. You talking about fifteen hundred bucks. That's a lot of money from up yet. Now, Also, you know when we and they're talking about investing in real estate, what's the first step

people should take? That's the first question all the time. What is the first thing somebody should do when they run to purchase a property or invest in real estate? The first thing you want to do is make sure you're qualified. Right, You gotta make sure your credit's right. Number one. Your credit has to be right. If you have bad credit, you're not gonna get anywhere. You might be able to get a hard money loan. Some lenders might let you slide with back credit and a hard

money loan. They used to a lot more, but right now because of the pandemic, probably not. So your credit gotta be tight. They're out there, your credit is tight. You gotta make sure you're pre approved and make sure you qualify for that house. Now, for most people out there, that pre approving means finding a lender that you go,

you fill out the application for them. You see that based off of your salary, based off of your credit, what you can what you can pay for, and then from there, that's when you start going to look for the profit and for people out there that maybe say, you know what, I can't afford New York, I can't

afford New Jersey. What's some areas that people can go to where property prices are a lot cheaper, but they might be able to get a great deal, Like you know, we always talk about, you know, Detroit where I was able to pick up properties for fifteen to twenty thousand and twenty five thousand. Are there any other you know, criticises like that that people that you would about people to check out? You know, I like Chicago. I think

Chicago is a great market. I think Chicago is probably where Patterson or new Ark or you know, Jersey areas were about five to ten years ago, or you still have a great opportunity to go buy a three family over their multifamily or even a flip. It's a great market for flipping and to hold long term. I'm compared to Detroit, I like it a little bit better, right, And I like it better than of course then Ohio

because their rents are higher. So their rents are probably around a thousand dollars to twelve hundred, which is pretty good. So you know, like when I first started. You know, I had to pull teeth to get a thousand dollars in a three bedroom in my area and North Jersey. Now we're getting almost eighteen hundred dollars. So eventually rents go up. So to be at that price point where their rents already a thousand and twelve hundred, it's a

great way to start. You go over there, you get a three family for let's say one hundred thousand, you probably make about thirty six hundred and four thousand a month, but three percent rate, you're pasted one like crazy. Okay, So I know Chicago, we say parts of Atlantic City. I think Atlantic City Wall like, you're walking to Pittsburgh. I was talking about mcconquering early this week about Pittsburgh.

She was like, if you're going to Pittsburgh, you might be a little too late, because Pittsburgh was one of those markets like two years ago that you needed to touch. So now this Sunday, we're doing a webinar, most webinar where we're actually gonna be breaking down a lot of the stuff that we're talking about. So many people have asked us to come to their cities, but of course

we can't travel, so hopefully we're traveling again soon. You see they opening up Disney, well, I know Universal already's open up. They announced Disney already Disney up next week. Oh that's that's dope. Once they open up Disney, I think the world. So we just need one sports, yeah, the baseball to open back up of basketball, and that

means we're good. That means were good. But I appreciate you for calling in and again if you want more information on the webinar that we're doing well, we're gonna be breaking all this down. We have a credit guy, we have a whole sale up, we have mortgage guys. We're gonna just be talking. You're trying to help people. Um, I said, just think about it. Let's say, if you're out there renting right now, you know there's grants right now where they will actually give you you the down

payment for your house. So the same amount of money that you're using to rent you can be used and you can actually own something and have equity in it. So if you ever have a problem, you can pull that equity out and use it for your college, your kids college tuition, you can use it for whatever you need, you know. So I'm just telling you just think about it, look into it and good luck man, and I appreciate you for checking in season all right, he flipping NJ.
