So when you're out there, right and you're grabbing that wood and you pushing it, wood, pulling it wood close to your body, what's what's what are you thinking? First of all, you don't push your pullet tree trees have been there for years. Okay, unless you're the incredible. I don't think there's no pushing or pulling of trees towards you when you hug that wood. What's on your mind?

You don't. It's very grounding, you know. It brings you back to center in a real, real way. You go out there, you could do your breathing exercises and you can say a prayer like it really really does bring you back to center. So salute all the tree huggers out there. I have joined you.

Then then I fall back off the tree. But don't be on the wood too long, man. It's it's it's it's a good it's a good thing. You should try it. Okay, Well, just don't be holding the wood too long, you know, let it be free. A little bit envy, envy, you have to Remember, you're married. I know you haven't seen me

Front page News is next. DJB that's Angela Gye. We got the wood Hugger, Breakfast Luga is the breakfast Clogal Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We all the breakfast club. Let's getting some front page news where we're starting you. Well,

let's start with the elections yesterday. As you know, voters have been facing long lines, fewer in person polling locations because of safety protocols due to the coronavirus pandemic. One place people were keeping an eye on was Kentucky, and there were some issues. They said. Some voters were stuck in Louisville waiting to park their cars outside the Kentucky Exposition Center, causing them to miss a deadline and get

in line when the post closed at six pm. The center was the only site opened in Louisville and Jefferson County because of coronavirus, so video showed voters locked outside. Some of them were pounding on the glass windows hoping to be let in. Shortly after that, they did manage to secure a court order that opened the doors and extended the poll hours to six thirty pm so that people could actually have access to go inside and vote. So Kentucky is one of several states had also expanded

access to abs and see voting. Officials expected a record turnout of over one million people voting in the primary, so they won't have full results until June thirtieth. Because of all of that, Alexandria Casier Cortez Nagle say, the fact that social media was speaking on what was happening in Kentucky more than mainstream media is next to me, like the blatant voter suppression in a place that Mitch McConnell represents, the same Mitch McConnell that is blocked two

election security bills. THEMS need to be honest about how tough it's going to be to win in November because of voter suppression, because of voter depression, people not being roughed by Biden, and possible Russian interference, like like, like John Stuart said yesterday when he was here, based off that line in his movie Irresistible, you can't win a battle if you're not honest about what you're up against. Period.

All Right. And Alexandria Jacio Cortez, they were three Democratic primary challenges for her in New York and she did blow everybody out. So she's still in. So we'll see what happens. Drop on a clues bomb for AOC, dammit, one of the good ones. Goodwhile Now, meanwhile, Donald Trump was talking about voter suppression. Yes, well, he was talking about what he thinks will be happening with the Democrats

he believes will be rigging the election. Here's what he had to say yesterday, the Democrats are also trying to rig the election by sending out tens of millions of mail in ballots, using the China virus as the excuse for allowing people not to go to the poll. I was watching the CNN last night and Don Lemon was showing this a segment about how Donald Trump has done absentee ballots before, Mike Pence, his wife, Jared Cushing, like so many people into the administration. William Bardy all did

mail in ballots before. So I don't know what the problem him is now. Yeah, ironically enough, he was in Arizona where he was speaking yesterday, where, by the way, there's been a huge spike in coronavirus cases, and Arizona, the county that he was in, actually has already voted by mail and has done that for years. The vast majority of vote is there actually have for years already voted by mail. So this is nothing new, all right.

In addition to that, Donald Trump talked about monuments coming down. But the radical left, they hate our history, they hate our values, and they hate everything we prize as Americas that we're right because our country didn't grow great with them. It grew great with you and your thought process and your ideology. The left wing mob is trying to demolish our heritage so they could replace it with a new

repressive regime that they alone control. He's yes, yes we hate racism, Yes we hate slavery, Yes we hate aggregation. Your history is sysm, It's biggertree is hate. And let's be clear, we built this country black people. If you had two hundred and sixty years of of of of free labor, labor, okay, if you had twenty sixty years of free label and you and you didn't get get anything for it, you gave twenty to sixty years of free label and you didn't get anything for it, you

would hate the history of this country as well. And for him to say that we want to replace it with another oppressive regime, what's more opressive to white supremacy? What's that? So? Jesus? All right? Well, love manze Layer

and that is your front page news. Goodness great hey, And that that John C. Calhoun statue is coming down in Charleston, South Carolina right now at eight four three, drop on the clues bombs for the eight forty three They voted on it yesterday and they are taking it down or right now, and white supremacist are losing their minds suited to my guy, mad Tecklinburg. Get it off your chest eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent hit us up right now.

My credit for is a seven eighty five and I worked hard to get it there, and that still don't even matter. Okay, I hate that. I hate. I hate. I hate how they treat our veterans. Our veterans should get uh, you know, free room and board. Our veterans shouldn't have to pay any taxes, you know what I mean. And y'all should get a stipend. And y'all should get a stipend every month. Is this your Is this your first time buying a home? Is this your first home? Yeah?

Oh yeah, now we got you. Now how many? Well, yeah, I'm gonna put your home. My guy, Matt does mortgages all right. He's been able to make miracles happen, especially if your first time home buy it and you're a veteran. There's so many different programs right now. They'll give you down payments for your home, and they'll also give you clothes on calls. So there's a bunch of different programs. You you hold on and I'll give you his number. Matt the mortgage guys his name all right, all right,

thank you? All right? Hello, who's this It's live from California. How y'all door? Hey, what's up? Broetr king? How you doing? I was calling because the interview that you had yesterday yesterday would John Stewart, Honestly, I think it was one of the best interviews that you have like had at

the Breakfast Club period. From the range of topics that you discussed, just the discord between two people is something that we need to see, right, that was like one of the best interviews that you all have ever had. Appreciate that. Um, something Charlomagne that you said during that interview was that something that the Democrats have a problem with doing is our message messaging and getting that he had getting that across to the people. And like defunded police, right,

it's a triggering it's a triggering triggering word. What do y'all think about saying like refund the people into the defunded police because we're asking for a reinvestment in our communities. Correct, And maybe that helped get people in the door a little bit safer, But what do y'all think about that It has to do with the police department so I think, you know, that is really the focal point of the

financing for the police departments. I was thinking that slogan gets to people inside the door, and then when you when you explain to them how you refunded people. Now you talk about how we're guy investing funds from police department putting that into mental health services, so on and so forth. Yeah. I read a good article that Michael Harriot wrote about Tim Scott, and you know, he was saying that he likes the Republican police reform bill a

little bit better than Democratic bill. But it's actually the same bill, but tim Scott just has tim Scott just has a different messaging. You know, he's still yeah, yeah, so he's still talking about the funding the police, he's

just messaging it in a different way. Yeah. So maybe y'all should have like the prison abolitionists like come and like and a police abolitionist come and explain what it is, like same dialogue that you guys are having, and really like let people know, like, hey, it's not gonna be lawlessness. We'll have a system. It's just a reimagining of public safety and restorative justice in our prison instead of you know,

punishment okay, oh, thank you for checking in. Brother, 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.

How you remember I need a man like a fish needs a bicycle. Yeah. What that got to do with me though? Nothing, I don't know. But he was saying that his mom more than that T shirt. Yeah, and that's the shirt she's talking about. Get it off your chest.

Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. We got rumors on the way, y, Yes, let's talk about Bubba Wallace now. He is responding to the FBI's findings that that noose in his garage was there since twenty nineteen. It was it that long. He didn't see it. I'll tell you what what's going on. Oh my goodness, all right, we'll talk about that. Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is cej Envy Angela yee,

Charlo Migne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Dio Hugely split, Oh Gosport, guys, Breakfast Club. Well, we told you about d L Hugely. He was performing in Nashville and he laps on stage. Later on he revealed that he did have coronavirus. He got tested. Well, now his son Kyle Hugely has revealed that he also has tested positive for COVID nineteen. Listen to this. I regret to inform everybody that I have

tested positive for COVID. I'm asymptomatic so far, which is good. Um, so as my dad, you know, we're both asymptomatic. My mother tested twice, both times came back negative. So that's good. All right, Well it makes sense. I mean, as you know, they were together, so and he does work with him, so that's the risk that's associated with that. Salute to the Hugely men. That sucks, but glad y'all brothers are asymptomatic and wishing y'all a speedy recovery. The yellow be

back on his feet soon. Yeah, and I wonder what you said, how long did he have it? Did he have it for seven days already or did he get it a day ago? Like how long? You know? I'm always curious, That's what I was saying. It's just like, what if you've had coronavirus for twelve days already, do you still have to quarantine for another fourteen? And you only got a quarantine for too. I don't know. All I know is DL Hugli will be back out there spreading the last and the information soon, and we much

rather that than him out of here spreading coronavirus. Yeah. And I don't think there's any way to know exactly when you got it either, And for some people that last longer than others. Some people have it for like a couple of months, you know, so it's hard to say. All right, now, Eminem has brought Rice to five nine on and he's going to be actually the director of Community Engagement and Social Justice Initiatives for the Marshall Mathers Foundation.

Eminem said, I'm super excited about not just donating money but launching new initiatives. My goals are simple providing privilege for the underprivileged, and rose to five nine said, I'm honored to team up with Eminem to do so Marshall Mathers Foundation, So that's dope. They're going to be reaching new goals together. They actually donated to the Change for Change initiative that we do in the first year to the Justice League. How much did he donate? Two hundred

and fifty thousand dollars? Right, yeah, two it I thought no apate sizable donation absolutely all right. Bill Cosby has been granted an appeal in his sex assault conviction, and so what that means is the court will look into cosby challenging testimony from women who accused him of applying

them with quails before sexually assaulting them. Judges will determine whether the jury should have heard from the women, many of whom Bill Cosby said it was more than fifteen years ago and the women's testimony wasn't the same as the sexual misconduct that he was convicted of, and that

he was never criminally charged in those instances. So the court has agreed that he can object to the County district attorneys going back on what he said, but which was a promise to Cosby that he wouldn't be prosecuted if he spoke truthfully in a deposition. If you remember there was a deposition. It was supposed to be sealed. He spoke truthfully, but they did reveal some of that. Now, as he's serving this three to ten years sentence, he'll be able to have an appeal. I'm shocked Bill Colby

is still alive. I'm not gonna lie to you. I didn't think. I didn't think he would he would last in prison. I really didn't. I mean, he's eighty something years old, legally blind, like, I didn't think he would last. Be honest with you, I'm shocked. Well, Bill Cosby's spokesman said, as we have all stated, the false conviction of Bill Cosby is so much bigger than him. It's about the destruction of all black people and people of color in America.

All Right, I don't know about that. I wouldn't go that far, but okay, yeah, I don't know about that. Um Now, Bubba Wallace, we've been talking about this whole situation with the news that was found in the garage at Nascar his garage. Well, according to the FBI, they are saying that that news was present since twenty nineteen. They said no federal charges would be pursued. Nobody could have known mister Wallace would be assigned to garage number four.

Last week the FBI, I learned the garage numberfore where it was found, where it was found was assigned to Bubba Wallace last week. The news found in that garage was in that garage as early as October twenty nineteen. So I saw a lot of people were calling him, uh, but we're calling Bubba Wallace Bubba Smilette as far as referring to him as Jesse Smillette with the new situation. And here is what Bubba Wallace has to say about

the FBI investigation. I've been racing all my life. We've raced out of hundreds of garages that never had garage pools like that. So people that want to call a garage pool and put out old videos and photos of of of knots being um in h and there as their evidence go ahead. But from the evidence that we have, it's a straight up noose. My thing is how racist is NASCAR that nobody noticed the noose. Ain't that kind

of weird? Yeah? The normal is how normal is the news that it was up there so long and nobody noticed that, whether whether or not it was targeted that bubble, But that a noose is just decoration at NASCAR. I guess like you just just like what you supposed to do when you get under the news, supposed to kiss Christmas,

Christmas miste. It's a new the NASCAR mistletoe. When when two races get up under that news, they posed to kiss the hell And people were trying to say it was a garage pull, and like Bubba Wilds just said, it's not a garage pull. Everybody's been calling it a noose. The FBI called it a noose. It is what it is. So whether it was or whatever, it was a noose. Even if it was a garage pool, Why is the garage pool tied in the form of a noose? And

why is that? Okay, that's how you know it ain't no black people at NASCAR, because you're talking about people having blind spots. People walk by that thing over and over and over again and never thought nothing of it. It takes the black man to be like, hey, that's the news. That's crazy. That's why diversity matters. All right, Well I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss Yee. Then when we come back,

we got front page news. What we're talking about easy, yes, and we are going to be talking about Donald Trump. He gave a speech and Arizona yesterday will tell you some of the things that he had to say. All right, we'll get into that next keeping lot. This to Breakfast club. Good morning across the country. I want to get everybody is dj enjy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the car, that's the car, Charlomagne, the guy all the breakfast car? Hell are you calling

me a car? The hell are you thinking about this morning? You want to ride me? The movie? Is that somebody just test? Somebody just texted me about it. If I was having the car show and when I read it, it's at Charlemagne and I looked in to say car, So I said to Charlomagne in the car, So why don't you say Carlmagne? Yeah, the way in the car, that's just the way it kind of call what i'd be to you, sir, No, tell me you'll kind of call without be to you. Let me think, let me think.

I think you would be a Cadillac Black escalated. That's that's what I think. Oh classics. It was nice, okay, smooth ride, like how you feel about like how you feel about me? Envy my cones. Anyway, let's get let's get in some front page saved up for Valentine's Kay, yeah, I know it's awkward. They're okay, all right? Uh yeah.

And Kentucky voting did happen yesterday in the primaries. A lot of people were looking to see what would happen in Kentucky because they reduce the number of polling places from thirty seven hundred to fewer than two hundred, and there were just one. There's just one polling place in each of the state's two largest cities because of a massive shortage of whole workers. And by the way, I do want to thank all the people who worked yesterday.

I was. I went and voted yesterday in Brooklyn, and I did go in and I thanked everybody who was in there working because I know everybody's there's a lot going on with coronavirus, so it's nice to see people putting in at work. And being pleasant to everyone and making sure they direct people in the right way. So that led to concerns of a suppressed Black vote, and

a lot of people were talking about that. They said in Lexington the lines were about an hour long during midday and they actually had to end up extending voting as well. In Kentucky because a lot of people couldn't get in, a judge to extend voting by thirty minutes, which allowed more than one hundred people who were waiting outside the Expo Center in Louisville to actually be able to get in and finish the voting process. Some people said that it was smooth, though some people said it

only took them ten to fifteen minutes. Other people ended up waiting over an hour, so a lot of people were paying attention to what would happened there. In the meantime, Donald Trump was in Arizona and he actually talked about how he feels like the Democrats could be rigging the election. The Democrats are also trying to rig the election by sending out tens of millions of mail in ballots, using the China virus as the excuse for allowing people not to go to the poll. You know, I don't care

what y'all think of Donald Trump. I don't care what your polls say. Poll said the same thing in twenty sixteen, and Trump still won. And it's things like that. That's the reason why voter suppression and what do you think is going to happen in November. Voter suppression, possible interference from other countries, voted depression because people aren't entoos about the candidates, and low voter turnout always favors Republicans. I'm just trying to figure out why this wasn't a bigger deal.

Yesterday they cut the poll insights in Kentucky, they locked the He's trying to do. He's distracting you by telling you Democrats are going to rig the election, and they are blatantly doing it, like right under your nose. Why wasn't this all over the news yesterday? I saw more on social media than anyway. Now, another thing that Donald Trump talked about during his speech in Phoenix was these

monuments coming down. You know, he has a problem with targeting statues and monuments that have honored past presidents and the Confederacy across the country. Here's what he had to say. But the radical left. They hate our history, they hate her and hate everything we prize as Americans. That we're right,

yes we do. Our country didn't grow great with them, it grew great and your thought process and your yes, the left wing mom is trying to demolish our heritage so they can replace it with a new repressive regime that they alone control. I don't consider myself left left or any direction, but I do hate racism, and yes I hate slavery, and yes I hate segregation, and I hate your history of racism and bigotry and your history

of hate. And let's be clear, Black people built this country. Okay, twenty to sixty years of free labor, all right, let's let's be clear about that. As a matter of fact, White people, you should hate the history also, because right now, yeah, right now, you should be the ones that should be ashamed of what happened in the past and hate that history as well. It shouldn't even be just us saying we hate that history. Yeah, we do hate it, that's right.

I'm surprised, he just says. I'm surprised. He just says what he wants to say, and he really really, when a person shows you who they all believed him. Nobody else believes him. When you call him a racist, that's a lie. You should see people in my comments. They definitely believe everything. A lot of people on his side and a lot of black people on his side, like, yeah, yeah,

I believe anything, all right, gracious. Now, a police officer involved in in the fatal shooting of Brianna Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky has been fired. This is more than three months after Brianna Taylor was killed. Detective Brett Hankinson was informed in a letter that was signed by the police chief that his employment with the department is terminated and that is effective immediately. That letter was dated on June twenty third, and they did post the letter on Twitter. That's that's

hard that's hardly enough. A man needs to be arrested and brought up on murder charges. And which individuals this is this one of the officers that kicked in the door? Is this the one that signed off for the war? Which? Which one was this? Do we know that he's one of the ones that actually shot. Yes, some of the rounds that he fired was the ones that hit Brianna Taylor. You know, she was shot eight times. And some of the rounds went into an apartment next door and endangering

the three lives in that apartment as well. So, according to the mayor, they did terminate proceedings last week and they said that he violated standard operating procedure when his actions displayed an extreme indifference to the value of human life when he fired ten rounds into Brianna Taylor's apartment. Yeah,

we need definite. I was gonna say, we need the person that that sign off on the warrant that gave the wrong address, the person that they had, the guy in custody that they were looking for ready that still gave the okay to go into that that that apartment. We need all of them. All those people were really reckless. An attorney for Brianna Taylor's family said that this is just one step, though we're still waiting for the other officers to be held accountable and for additional charges to

be filed, but it is a step in the right direction. Yeah. I think once after they buy these police officers and they don't have that protection of the blue wall anymore, you know, they should be charged. They should be charged like anybody else would be charged with the murder that's it. Yeah, it's crazy. So they do the no knock warrant, which was an issue right now, right, they do have the

Brianna's Law where they're outlawing the no knock warrants. But it's crazy that this is something that's still the police officer, one of them finally just got fired. And mind you, this is over three months ago that this happened, so you know, but and I shout out to Tamika Mallory because she's definitely a person who's been working really closely with Brianna Taylor's family and with Brianna Taylor's attorneys to

make sure that there is justice. And that's what happens when you lift your voices and you lift up the people who have these instances that they want to share and people may not have known all the details. And you can see some movement. Now, we just need more movement and we need to make sure we keep on following up with these stories. All right. Yeah, they're they're having a rally tomorrow at the State Capitol building a seven hundred Capital Avenue in Frankfort, Kentucky at eleven eight

m until Freedom is having it. They got free buses available for us, come for a serve and you can join Brianna's family, attorney Ben Crump, Lonita Baker, Tamika Mallory, and other celebrities and concerned citizens. They'll be there tomorrow at eleven am at the State Capitol Building, seven hundred Capital Avenue in Frankfort, Kentucky. Justice for Brianna Taylor. All right, well that is your front page news. Now when we come back, Westmore will be joining us. Westmore is the

CEO of Robin Hood Foundation. He's an author. He's also an army vett and we're gonna kick it with him, all right, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Ej Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guests on the zoom right now on the line, the brother Westmore. Welcome brother. What's going on y'all? It's good deceive, good deceive the bust be what you really is. Thank you. Man west got a lot of hyphens. He's the CEO

of the Robin Hood Foundation. He's a best selling author, he's a combat veteran, he's a social entrepreneur. He's an author, but we'll give what else? What else? West, I'm a fan of the Practice Club. That's who I am. All right, That's what I am. That's it now. Honestly, it's uh, you know, I'm I believe deeply in the fact that y'all are using your voices and the way y'all using them,

you know what I'm saying. So, so it's it's uh, it means a lot to be on it right now because I think right now we have a situation where we are being hit from so many sides and people don't even realize it. And so our ability to be able to to to speak out and speak up and and be true to ourselves and be true to our history and our culture and our DNA matters. So um

so just needs a lot. Now, break down the Robin Hood Foundation if you can, because a lot of people donate to the Robin Hood Foundation and they want to make sure that their money's going to the place that they expected to go. So break that down for a little bit. Yeah. So, so Robin it is actually it's a thirty two years old and it really started with a focus on poverties and the founders when they first started off they said, they like, we think the markets

are going to get hard. This is back in nineteen eighty eight where they said, but you know who this is really going to see? Who this is going to really hit hard. It's people who are already living in poverties. And so, how exactly can we come up with a way of finding and supporting good organizations that are doing really good work to address poverty in every way that it shows itself. Because you know, one thing you know believe in is when people say, well, it's poverty about education,

or is it about housing, or it's about health, the answers. Yet, like you know, for those who experience the poverty, it shows itself in every way. It shows itself in the war you drink, It shows itself in the air you breathe, in the schools you attend, in the way you're police.

It shows itself in every single way. And so the ability to be able to then focus and say, okay, how then do we attack this issue with every means that we have to us it becomes real and I mean, and I think about you know the fact that even prior even prior to COVID nineteen and the impact of COVID nineteen were crazy on our community. But even prior to that, half of just take New York as an example, half of all New Yorkers we're in poverty for at

least a year over the past four years. Half to see. And so when people think this is some isolated thing, or when people come up with this ridiculous excuse of well, people in poverty should just work harder or get a job, how about the fact that twenty three percent of people who have lost their jobs due to COVID nineteen, we're living in poverty before COVID nineteen. So this is a working poor people who are working in some cases multiple jobs and still and still not above the poverty line.

And so really the way we try to attack it is, you know, not just through philanthropy. And you know, we're one of the largest foundations in the country, one of the largest poverty finding organizations in the country. When it comes to after dollars of giving out, we work with over three hundred organizations in New York City alone or community organizations. But at the same time and also understanding that, you know, we're dealing with systems that have to be

completely upended. Um, you know, there's actually a quote on my desk from doctor King, and it says, uh, philanthropy is commendable, but the philanthropist can never forget the economic of justice to make philanthrothy necessary. And that's just how of course work we got. We have to dismantle this mechanism of white supremacy and systemic racism and and and and and and it's that's why I really appreciate what

you're doing. Man Um. You know, I got introduced to west somebody John Stikes actually say you have to meet Westmore. He could be president of the United States of America, wanting John, John's my god, John's my god. But but but I'm telling you, but but for Charlot and You're right, people like we have to understand that. And this is what gets back to me about about even when we're talking about every aspect but takes take policing for example, I'm not interested in having a good apple bad apple

conversation about police. I'm not because we're talking about systems. And as long as we understand that, as long as we understand the fact that there are structural elements that have to be taken out, then I think then we're having a real conversation and people look at and you know, you talk about this element of race, and one of the frustrating things I think people fall into this conversation about race, Like race and racism is an individual act, right if I don't say the N words, or I

don't wear a hood, so therefore I'm not racist. Racism is a system. It's a system that allows It's a system that allows for a black college graduate to have the same earning power and earning potential as a white high school drop out. That's a fact, that data, that is statistics. It's the fact that allows for a black woman who has breast cancer to have a forty two percent higher likely higher probability of dying from breast cancer than a white woman. That is a fact, that's data.

And so racism isn't an individual act. And I think when people just personalize it like that, that's where we run into troubles. It's a system that is when builds and based in and the only way we're then going to be too upended is to be as deliberate about the deconstruction of it as our country has been about the construction of it. Right, Like you talk about the

police system in your new book. And it's interesting because the police officer could go and want to be a great police officer and have all the right intentions for joining the police force, but at the end of the day, you are working within a system that is just not put together right right now, that's exactly right. And if you if you take a look at just at just

Freddy Gray's life and so and so. First thing I'll add a good context where Freddy Gray furthers who might not remember, um was it was a twenty five year old African American man who in Baltimore City h and by the way, Charlemagne Baltimore does have the best accents around you are correct quests. But but it was a twenty five year old African American man in Baltimore who actually he made eye contact with police and who ran. Now let me be clear about that. He made eye

contact with police. That's important because that's only something that's probable caused in certain neighborhoods, in so called high crime neighborhoods, if you run from the police, that's all you have to do to be in the law. And so they chased him, and they can chase you entertain you simply by making eye contact in a certain neighborhood, right, And so he's a young man who made eye contact the police. He ran, he was arrested. An hour after he was arrested,

he was in a coma. A week after he was placed in a coma, he died. And so there's two weeks of protests from Baltimore of people demanding a town of billion and actions saying we need to know what's going on. And then there are all peopul protests until one night, it was actually the night of this funeral, the night of his home going, that that night wasn't

as people. And then when Baltimore was caused in the state of emergency, National Guard was called in and that was the upright that took place around the death of Freddy Gray. But it's important to you know, but you bring up a really important point because you know, when we're talking about policing in in that scenario, policing in that person, stand the fact that they had legal jurisdictions to shade Freddie for making eye contacts because he happened

to live in a quone unquote high crime area. That's not a good apple bad apple conversation. That's a system. That's a law. The fact that even when everything happened, the fact that that years after this all happened, you know.

And if you look at the two years in Baltimore alone before Freddie Gray for Baltimore, we also know the names Chris Brown and Anthony Henderson and Tyrone West, all people who were in similar situations as Freddie Gray, who just in the two years prior to Freddie Gray all died at the hands and police or owned police custody. And we also know this. If you take all those names, Anthony Annison, Chris Brown, Tyrone West, Freddie Gray, not a single person has been convicted of a crime. So we

just have live loss and no accountability for it. That becomes that's not about the individual player alone. That's just system that we've got to address. All Right, we got more with Westmore when we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast Club, Go Morning. Nobody is DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with CEO of Robin Hood Foundation Westmore. Now, Charlemagne, what do we do to change the system of policing?

Because I'm watching them do all these symbolic things like cancel cops and cancel live PD and take police officers out of video games. And I'm like, look, I'm all for defunding the police. I'm not for abolishing the police. No, I'm in the same boat. I'm not for abolishing the police either. But I do know what I'm what I'm for abolishing is I'm for abolishing police brutality. I'm for abolishing racial profile. I'm for abolishing the hyper military nation

of police. And why we have police that are basically dressed up a stormtroopers and are using the same equipment that I use an Afghanistan? And why we have why we have police for using the same gear that I was using at a time of war, And that's not the job of the police, right The job of the military was actually to go out and actively use offensive measures to fight in win our nation's wars. The job of police is to protect and to serve. It's a

different mission. So why we're using the same mechanics in the same machinery for a different mission does not make sense to me, you know, and I think you know to your point, I think your absolutely right. Flom where it's it's every budget is a moral document. If any of you right now you show me how you spend your money every month, I could probably make making a pretty educated guess as to what you find to be important.

So it's in about the fact in New York City, you know, for for every dollar that we spend on NYPD, in New York City, use Development gets eleven cents for every dollar that the NYPD gets the help and and mental hygiene gets thirty one cents. In Baltimore City right now, for our health department, they get about a forty one about a forty one million dollars budget in Baltimore City right the Police Department of Baltimore City it's five hundred and nine millions. So you can't talk to me about

where prioritization lie. And the fact that actually what's happening is we're having the police department take on a collection of other things that they should not be responsible for, and then we end up putting a lot more money into the back end because we're not putting money into the friends end bumping in this country right now, child poverty cost this country over a trillion dollars a year.

But instead we think about budgetary allocations, and we just continue giving more assets in capital to Connecticut military and police functions. It doesn't make sense. It is shortsighted, and it's something when we're talking about policing reform, we have to deal to things like structures, like the elimination of no knock warrants, the elimination of chokeholds. All those things

are real. All those things are importance. What it is to your point shown And it's also about how are we talking about budgeting and how it's budgeting the reflecting our cartization and what we're hoping for through the community. I mean, ask your question, but how do we see that? Because you know, my whole thing with the police department and where all this money is going. We never see where the money is going. That's right, and and you know it's crazy about it. It's your money. I mean

like this right, this is like some shadow shadow operations. Yes, money, absolutely so. So the idea of being able to add transparency. And when I say transparency, to your point, it's not just saying, Okay, we're gonna give five hundred nine million dollars to the Baltimore City Police Department. It's I want to see the line items. Yes, exactly where that money. I want to see the toilet paper that you're buying for the precincts. I want to see all that. I

want to see where the money is going. You can't just say you're spending dollars. Yes, it's public dollars. And there is no reason why there shouldn't be a public accountability for public dollars. And aside from the third part of that is also accountability. Right when these police officers commit crimes against civilians, they should be held accountable for

them and they haven't been. In like to your point, in Baltimore, with the numerous cases that you can bring up, there's no firing there, there's no accountability, there's no jail time, there's no charges. So do you feel like that's changing now as things are being brought to light, do you feel at least if finally, there will be some legislation. I'm very hopeful because we are watching things that are being proposed, not just on local levels but also on

the flederal level. We're looking at things like the pushback of qualified immunity, and so qualified immunity is the idea that there's a certain level of immunity that that law

enforcement had that most other individuals don't have. Right, there's this level of this introduction of civilian review board and things that are going to be really important because the fact is, right now, the way the process works is it's who who investigates police is police interactions and potential police actiality cases the police And so how the hechnic can you have people who are policing people who are then also a part of units, and so how do

we do things like introduced civilian review boards? Not kind of thing? Can we talk about your books five days? Also? Right, you have this new book, let's discuss the eight different people that you actually have in this book and the eight different points of view that you're bringing into play. Yeah,

thank you and yeah, I mean I'm you know. One of the things I noticed when I was going through and this was really a process that I was going through myself, where right after everything happened with Freddy Gray, and I remember attending his funeral and it was the first funeral I've ever attended in my life where I didn't know the person on they were a live and it was one of these things because his funeral was almost like it was a It was a thing in Baltimore.

Everybody was out, and I remember looking around the chapel and just thinking myself, are any of us, me included, Are any of us prepared to do what it actually takes to truly bring justice to these young men? And when we say justice, it's not even just the accountability for or you know, for what happened in his death, the fact that there's a twenty five year old young Namement's eye contact with police and loses his life a week later after being in a coma for a week.

But it's also the fact that here was a young man who was born underweight, premature, addicted to heroin. His mother battled addiction for much of her life. She never made it to high school. She lived in poverty her entire life. When he finally was able to gain enough weight, him and his twin sister, Quadrika, they left the hospital and they moved into a housing project over in West

Baltimore in North Perry Street. That housing that house that they lived in, that in four hundred other homes were named in a civil lawsuit in two thousand and nine because of the endemic levels of leading inside of that house. So the CDC indicates that if you have five microbes of lead in every desoluter of blood, you will be cognitively impaired for the rest of your life. Freddy Gray had thirty six, and so he was a young man who was born underweight, addicted to heroin, laed, poisoned, and

by that time in his life he's two years older. Wow, what shocked did Freddie happen? What shot did Freddie had this argument about people just need to work harder, how hard that Freddie had top and but but honestly, like I found myself sitting there with a sense of my own personal complicity because I left Freddie Gray's funeral and then I had to fly to Boston to go give

a speech on poverty. And I knew that part of it was because the work I was doing, But then part of it was because they were going to use my story as like it's the celebration, it's the look at what he did. And when you look at a life like Freddie, it's just not true. And it's a

lie that we continue to tell ourselves. And so what I wanted to do with this story was first ground us in the reality of what we're talking about we're talking about the history of systemic racism, where he's talking about the history of tolerable poverty, the fact that we accept levels of poverty in our society where we are we are making a devil deal, where we're asking ourselves just how much pain are we willing to accepting other

people as long as it doesn't impact us. Everybody, go out there and grab West's new book, Five Days The Fiery Reckoning of an American City by my Man Westmore West. Don't be a stranger. We need your voice over the next several months man, leading up to this election for show. Absolutely a man Nie y'all boys, Man, God bless y'all for real. Seriously, God bless bless you too, BROTHERT. I appreciate you, King. It's West Small, It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the gad. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning, Come morning guys, y'all, what's happening and listen sleuth to everybody in the eight four three Man Charleston, South Carolina. I'm so happy that the John C. Calhoun statue is coming down. I'm about to post a video of it coming down this morning just to piss off the white supremacists that follow me. Is that real quick? Did you see the officers out

in Ohio? Neighbors called the police on these five black boys for playing in the street, and the police pulled up and it was like, I don't know why they called the police. We played in the street as kids. A matter of fact, let's play a game. And they played football with the kids. Did I see that video?

I thought that was dope. And the reason I thought that was I remember being a kid and playing basketball in the park and and sometimes, you know, the local police officers would pull up and they shoot with us and they play basketball with us. And that's what you need. You could tell those cops are from the community. They understand what's going on. And instead of you know, telling them telling the boys that yo, get out the street or this any other, they was like, now, let's play.

Let's play a game in football, and they played with the kids. And that's what we need more of posted making the street. I thought that was I thought that was dope. Man. Yeah. I keep saying when they talk about a community policing initiatives, I think that they should have people from the community, encourage people from the community to go into law enforcement and pay them an extra

financial insten or coming back to police in their own neighborhoods. Yeah, I think that's that's that would be a a dope idea. But whatever, I'm a tree hugger. You're really into that wood. I know, I really, I really let me ask you this, no joke, you don't. I don't want I don't want to talk. I don't want to ask you. And you grabbed it, and you grabbed the wood right, and you pull in the wood or you whatever you do? What

do you think about? You know? When I first moved back to New Jersey, right I was, I moved into this apartment complex and um and uh tea neck was that tea necker hacking sack woman that was working the woman that was working at the front desk. She said, Charlemagne, you need to watch Envy, And I thought she's about to tell me, you know, Envy a schisty dude. He's

a snake. She was like, you need to watch him because he'd be over here with this guy that's about your height and he's bald headed and he funny sounds coming from the room okay, and I was like really, and she said yeah. Now the dude was my man, Sean. People do show I'm trying to mistake, mistake me and Sean. So basically, she was trying to tell me that you possibly could be Envy's type. That's what she was trying

to tell me. I was two thousand and ten, now two thousand and twenty, He's talking to me about hugging wood. I don't know what to tell y'all. People. First of all, was my brother had clues. It was no strange noise. But you just said you could you grab the wood. I'm just curious to what you think about when that. When I want to get grounded and come back the center, I go out and I put my hands on it, and I put my forehead the trees and prey on

the trees, and I meditate to the trees. Okay, all right, that's what my sacred Purpose coach told me to do. Okay, that's what I do to keep my mental health in check. Do you want to do with Do you wear socks and shoes when you hugged the tree? Grab the wood? Hell no, no, I want my feet to be in the ground. I want to get backgrounded, okay, and get back the center. I'm just kidding, Hey, don't be knocking my healing process. I'm not knocking your healer. I'm just

want to I want to learn you. You hug wood, and I want to know what it does for you, what's the benefits, how it makes you feel? You're just talking about you want to be in the center. I'm just asking every everybody knows you know how to hug wood. How you got all them cars? What you got all them cars? Are you going on the cars? And we know you like to holk board? Yeah? You got rumors all the way. This guy's crazy. Right now, we've been talking rumors for the past three minute. Dude will be

talking about apologies. Jimmy Kimmel and Ti. What do those two guys have in common? They're apologizing? All right, we'll get into that next keep it lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning, bj Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomne the guy we all the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jimmy Kimmel. This is the rum of Report with

angela year Breakfast. Well, Jimmy Kimmel, as you know, he's taken a vacation, and he did come back from his vacation to apologize for wearing black face and man show sketches that resurfaced. Now, if you guys remember, this is the car Malone impersonation that he did sometime at night called the old look up and sky and say what the hell going on up there? UFO live on other planet? Bolden hole like et Karmelo read on TV about white people getting deducted by alien sticking all kind of hell

up big and that's a damn thing. Well he did do that in blackface, and now he has put out a statement. He said, I have long been reluctant to address this, as I knew doing so would be celebrated as a victory by those who would create apologies with weakness and cheer for leaders who use prejudice to divide us. That delay was a mistake. There is nothing more important to me than your respect, and I apologize to those who were genuinely hurt or offended by the makeup I

wore or the words that I spoke. He then went on to explain about his impression of kr Malone, how it started when he was a personality on the radio in the late nineties, and then he moved into television with it with The Man Show. He said, we hired makeup artists to make me look as much like Carmelone

as possible. I never considered that this might be seen as anything other than an imitation of a fellow human being, one that had no more to do with carl skin color than it did his bull jing muscles and bald head. So he did also acknowledge he did impersonate Snoop Dogg and Oprah, and he said they were similarly performed without malice.

He said, looking back, many of those sketches are embarrassing, and it is frustrating that these thoughtless moments had become a weapon used by some to diminish my criticisms of social and other injustices. So he did put out a full statement if you want to read that, and he impersonated Snoop by saying the N word too right. But I mean, that's that's all he can do is apologize.

I mean, I still I still think we need to have a larger conversation about cultural context and how things used to be in regards to the risk people used to take to entertain because that line about what was acceptable and not acceptable was non existent. Everybody went too far back then, which is true, Which is true, everybody

went too far. But you know, as long as he understands that, he apologized, and you know he's involved as a person, hopefully that's and we're talking about something that is that, We're talking about something, something that has literally changed in the last few years. And to not acknowledge that shift is responsible of all of us. And I'm sure he's grown since then. What else can you do

with apologize and learn from Mr? Right? And there's nothing wrong with saying, look, that was wrong and it is what it is, all right. Lena Waite has called out the Hollywood Reporter and Variety for ignoring black shows. She was on The Late Late Show with James Gordon and she was specifically calling them out. She said, people that are hopeful as all the black shows are like on the long shot list or a major threat as far as TV Emmy nominee. She said, it's like, don't act

like black TV is invisible. And so she's saying all those trade all those trade reporters on Hollywood Reporter and Variety, they ignore the insecures the black afs dare white people's and for so long, she said, they act like we don't even belong in the conversation. So that has been her experience. All right. Now TI has apologized to his daughter, and I know people are gonna feel like, oh, this is oh, this is all. But these episodes are now

airing TI and Tiny Friends and family Hustle. And if you guys remember the whole but Diana Hyman conversation that he had publicly about his daughter and taking her to the doctor, well, Deja's mother actually appeared with TI and they had a whole conversation and the conversation was about you know why deja feelings were hurt, and you know, it's a it's a learning curve. And he did finally apologize. Here's what she had to say at first to TI

about parenting their daughter. Whether she tells you yes or no, believe her because really, at the end of the day, whether or not her hyman is intact, it is not telling of whether or not she had sex. So if you tell the doctor to check her hymen and she's told you I've not done anything and her hyman was broken and she was telling the truth. Now you're coming down on her. She's lying. Understand, Dad, I understand. Okay, I'm beginning to realize that Damn, I ain't know as

much as I thought I did. And then she did help him understand how inappropriate that conversation was and how the double standard exists. And you don't do that with your sons. Why would you do that to your daughter? Listen to this, she feels though there is no trust in what she says. It's a bit nosogluistic, because the same for your son. Man, Listen, you would never do that. I don't think that. Would you ever do that, sir? Now,

he would not. I think all of these things and double standards when it comes to me being a dad, I was being educated. And although I realized how inappropriate the conversation by DJA on the podcast may have been, you know, I hold myself accountable. I apologize to Dasha. You know I love you. You know I've always gone above and beyond to do any and everything possible to make you heavy and to keep you predicted. All right, But you know, when you watched the episode, Dja's feelings

were still really hurting. She was having a hard time not answering a phone for him and all of that because it was something that was embarrassing to her. It was hurtful for her for a many different reasons. So you know, that is something that should be a learning

experience for everyone. I remember we had this whole debate up here about well, he's just being a good father, But I think being a good parent is also, you know, as far as for me being someone's daughter, knowing that your daughter deserves her privacy, respect, and also you should believe her if she's telling you something, if you know

she's a good girl. In Das has always seemed like a good girl, and if you trust her, should you should be able to talk to her and ask her questions instead of worrying about what's happening with her body, because women's bodies are very complicated. I mean, once again, all you can do is learn from a situation and apologize. Okay, I need to know who these folks saw that get everything right. All the time, I was going to say the same thing. He's a dad, he's just trying to

protect his daughter. He made some bad mistakes. He made a bad mistake, and you know, he apologized, and we have to learn from my lesson, like you say this all the time. There is no instruction manual when it comes to kids. There's no instructure manual when it comes to daughters. We try to do our best, and sometimes we make a wrong a wrong decision in the wrong move, and we have to say, you know what, I'm sorry. And just as human beings, perfect people aren't real and

real people aren't perfect. You're not gonna always get it right. And I respect the education that you know that that woman gave tip. You can clearly see he got it. He admitted he's wrong. You apologize and the best apologies changed behavior. What do you want from What do you want from here? Blood? Mind you an episode, he still didn't apologize directly to his daughter. You know, so got with something too, because yeah, but she did. Look I mean,

if you watch the episode, it's really sad. She's like crying, breaking down, you know, talking to other family members, and she can't even really speak to her own father. And he's still being a little bit stubborn about it. Because ye is TV. They'll get to that in the next episode, right, it's not real life. They got to scratch it out for the storyline. That's the other bad thing about a situation like this, your real life becomes people's entertainment. So

now which a storyline that plays out? Yeah, but maybe maybe she really felt that. I mean, I'm sure she really felt that way. I don't think she's, you know, over exaggerating. But no, no, no, no, I can't let you switch my words up. You said he hadn't apologized yet, and I said, yeah, because it's TV. I'm sure he'll get to that next episode. I'm sure he's already apologized, but they're scratching it out for TV. All right, Well, I'm Mantela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right,

thank you, miss Yee. That's Charlomagne, who are giving that? Donkey two? There are two pastors in Arizona. There are the pastors of a mega church called Dream City Church. We need them to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him police. All right, we'll get into that next keeping lock this to breakfast club. Good morning, Charlemaine, say that gang don't get the shape man you are talky today does not discriminate. I might not have the song of today, but I got to

donkey that. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man pivot with the practice club. Bitches, they just don't give today Today, Donkey Today for Wednesday, June twenty third goes to the pastors of an Arizona mega church called Dreams City Church. Okay, Dream City Church Senior Pastor Luke Barnett and Chief operations Officer Brendan Zastro are their names. And dream City is the perfect name for that congregation because life is all about the buying

and selling of dreams. You either a hustler or a customer in the dream business, and churches are the best dream business. Okay. And this church was holding an event featuring one of the biggest dream sellers in America today, Donald J. Trump. Now, it won't be the first time a dream is sold in the church. Okay. The whole concept of religion is dream selling. And that's why these pastors were able to get this dream off. Why should

I say this lie off? Okay? Now, circulating online this week was a promo video that claims the church's air filtration system can kill ninety nine point nine percent of COVID nineteen within ten minutes. Now, I watched Bishop td Jake's Every Sunday and Potter House in Dallas be fairly empty. I also watched my Man Monkst Corner, South Carolina's own Stephen Verdick and Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina be fairly empty. Clearly in Arizona they are father along in phases. Oh,

they just don't care. So they are trying to get people back in those peas. Okay, I guess prayer and faith in White Jesus isn't enough because in order to get folks comfortable with coming too Dream City, they have to sell a dream to the city that they have installed air filtration systems that kill ninety nine point nine percent of COVID within ten minutes. Let's go to Dream City Churches facebook page to hear the promo. Police Here at Root City Church, we're probably the first church in

the nation. Two. Yeah, we've we've installed clean Air e XP. We have a local Arizona company. It was technology developed by some members of our church, and we've installed these units and it kills ninety nine point nine percent of COVID within ten minutes. From the independent testing. It's ionizations and IONSI it's ionization of the error and it takes

particulars out and COVID cannot live in that environment. So when you come into our oratorium, ninety nine percent of COVID is gone kill if it was there in the first place, So you can know when you come here you'll be safe and protected. Now, look, I'm not here to tell you what to belief. If religion helps you get through your day, if it gives you a better life, great. Even though I am more of a spiritual person than

a religious person, I don't knock religion. But you have to acknowledge the fact that if you can get people to believe that a white man turned water into wine with no grapes, then you can make them believe anything. All. Ain't that whole story of white Jesus turning water into wine. There was no mention of grapes. You need lots and lots of grapes. There was no mention of sugar, no wine yeese. And was the water filtered because you need filtered water to make homemade wine. But nevertheless, I am

not here to be a dream killer. If that's your bag, let me mind my business. But I'm just saying I can tell you my air filter kills corona and you would believe me because well, I told you white Jesus fed five thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fishes, and you believe that. I know, I know miracles, Okay, but five thousand people got fed with five low bread and two fishes. Come on, now, caterers, chefs, food and beverage workers, talk to me. Five thousand people eight good

are five loabes of bread and two fishes. I am not knocking you for what you just for what you believe. I just noted if you call the catering service and told them you had a party of five thousand, and Jesus told you, not Jesus, Hayesus told you that he could feed them with five loabes bread and two fishes, you would hang up on Hayesus. That's all I'm saying. But if you believe that, then you would believe an

air filter can kill coronavirus. I mean, it's literally so many miracles performed in the Bible, eighty in the Old Testament, eighty three in the New Testament, probably more than the Lebron James version. So why wouldn't I believe my pastor when he says the church has an air filter that kills coronavirus. And if the church has that, why are they not having them installed in every member of the congregation's house. Okay, that's what why Jesus would have done.

He would have hooked up five air filters and said two prayers, and five thousand people would have been cured of coronavirus. Okay, that white man is something else, isn't. That white man can make you believe in him more than you believe in yourself. And that's exactly how he

designed it. Okay, all I'm saying is if you can make people believe that Moses Rod turned into a surfeit, if you can make people believe that Lot's wife turned into a pillar of assault, if you can make people believe a white man walked on water, then you can make them believe an air filter kills ninety nine point nine percent of coronavirus. And for the record, Jeffrey Siegel a professor at the Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering

at the University of Toronto. He said he's read the live reports that the clean air exp results are based on and basically, he said, the devil in this case, the white devil. Those two pastors are a liar okay, He set, aside from the unrealistic testing that was done for this filtration system, there's no filter our air cleaner in the world that could reduce risk in a crowded

indoor environment. He said, filtration or air cleaning is not a good way of protecting people who are close to each other because fundamentally, you have to get the droplets that contain the virus to the air cleaner and remove them before they are inhaled our land on someone else and eventually end up in their respiratory system. Long story short, it's some bs. But Jeffrey also set, aside from the unrealistic testing, Listen, you don't have to be realistic when

you in the church. The stories they make you believe about the church from the Bible are all unrealistic. And that's why when you have pastors who prey on people's need to believe, like these two pastors did, religion goes from being something constructive there is something destructive. In a statement to CBS News, Dream City Church said the post about the filtration system was meant to inform the congregation. We are doing everything we can to foster the cleanest,

safest environment as we resume church services. AKA we're just trying to get people back in this church by any means necessary. Aka. This COVID doesn't messed up the church's money and false profits only care about profit, So we need this money to rain down like manner from the sky. This is why people don't trust religion. Guys like these pastors give great pastors a bad name. And with that, I say, be careful who you trust. The devil was

wanting was once an angel. Please let Chelsea Handler give pastor Luke Barnett and Brendan Zastro the biggest he haw hee haw hee haw. That is way too much. Dan Mann is all right, a man, thank you for that donkey today, sir, yep up next ask ye eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need relationship advice, any type of advice, call ye right now. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, what what what? What? What you wanna know? Baby mama issues, sneak some words

of wisdom? All up now for asking eight hundred five eight five one oh five one, The Breakfast Club. Hello, the relationship advice, need personal advice, just the real advice? Hall up now for ask ye morning every body is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. It's time to ask ye Hello, who's this? Hi? Uh? It's Tito from Brooklyn. How you doing? Ye? I just gotta say I'm a big fan. I love you guys, to listen to you guys every day. I just have

a question. I'm twenty five years old and I've been dating a couple of women. But it seems that the women I've been attracting only one one night stands or they already have a boyfriend. And I'm looking for a long term investment. And my friends tell me that I should stick with because of my age, I should stick with women who already have kids. And I need to know. It's like any advice you can give me on the dating game, Well, never when where are you meeting these women?

I try everywhere? You know. I just finished a college semester, so I was dating a woman in college. I tried tender social media, and I've been striking out. You know, I get the date right, but they're not looking for something. They're not looking for that type of commitment. Well, I'll tell you this, Maybe you shouldn't sleep with people right

away when you get the date. If you're looking for something more long term and you know you're upset about just having all these one night stamps, maybe the best thing to do is to go out and not try to go home with someone and actually have those phone conversations, FaceTime calls, real dates. Go out and don't sleep with them right away. That way they're getting a chance to

know you as well. Yeah. Another thing is I also been told that I'm too cheesy on dates, Like sometimes I show up with flowers and I still hold doors for ladies because I keep it a little bit old school. I'm very respectful forward one man. I think that's great. I think that sounds amazing. You know what, don't date people who are already in relationships. And no, you don't have to date people who have kids already. You have

to go out with people who you like. And I think the best advice is, and I really strongly believe in this, when you go on with people, don't look at it as this is going to be my potential wife. Look at it as this is somebody that I could be friends with, that I could see myself hanging out with.

And then that's the person that you should try to pursue. Okay, okay, do you do you know any like signs that shows like if a woman is not into a long term relationship or like anything like that, Like you know, any signals that I should know on like a day or if I if I do get to know somebody and they get to know me, should I Is there any like warning signs or singles that said, hey, she might not be you know? Well, I think I think communication

is important. So if she's texting you throughout the day and calling you and paying attention and asking questions about what's going on in your life, and if she has major decisions to make or something happened she comes to you for advice and vice versa, or if that's the person you know you can go to if she's available. If somebody's not responding to your messages and not returning your calls, then that's a sign that she's definitely not interested.

And I think planning in advance, like if it's right now is Thursday, if you're like, hey, I wanted to see if you know Sunday, I could make you brunch and we could you know, do something like that. So I just think things like that where you're planning ahead. You guys are planning to spend time together by the time your date is over. If you guys are already thinking about, okay, where are we going next or what

are we doing next? I think that's important. But if somebody just doesn't open up to you, if somebody's not asking questions and seeing how you're doing, and they're not communicating with you throughout the day, then most likely they're not that interested. Because we get really excited when we like somebody when we first meet them, and sometimes we also do hold back because we don't want to seem

too thirsty. But if you hit her and she responds right away, or you know, she responds quickly, I think that's a good sign. Okay, just to rephrase all from my other question, Like I said, twenty five years old, So am I okay to look for women that don't have kids or the wall that I shouldn't or yeah,

it's in preference, that is your preference. If you prefer to be with somebody you're still young, who doesn't have kids because you don't want to have to deal with the father of the children or child and you don't know what the situation is and you know, that's definitely your prerogative. But you know, sometimes I think you have to be flexible on that because the very thing that you say you don't want is what you end up getting and if that's who you end up with, and

it is what it is. But I definitely don't have a problem with you having a preference. Okay, that actually helps. Ye. You are awesome. Just once again, I love you guys a lot, almain. I think you're keep it real one of the best dea things out here. And ye are I listen to you guys everything. I love y'all. Thank you so much. Thank you should bring them some flowers, Okay, I definitely will just give me an address, all right, thank you. Teta ask ye eight undred five five one

oh five one. If you need relationship advice and any type of advice, you can call ye. Now it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. I'm keep repet some real advice with antheli ye ask ye droning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast Club with in the middle of ask ye, Hello, who's this Hello? This is Kethwick. Hey, what's your question? For you. So my question is, um, I'm I'm dating this good for

the past, um four months going on for five months. Um, we have like a very strong communication with each other where we are open with each other and like if we feel any type of way about each other about anything, we are expressive with it. So she's saying that, Um, this is someone that I see myself with getting red. I've been, I've been child with and everything. She has met the requirement that I required, as you know when it comes to like married George, choosing the mother for

my child and stuff like that. She's I wouldn't say I love her, but it's getting there. She meets the requirements, but you don't love her yet. Is happening in the future. I'm not saying. I'm not saying that I do not love her, but if love is a very strong word, I know it will get there. But I'm Jamaican and I don't love that music. Okay. No, just when you said you could see yourself marrying someone and you can see them being a mother to your child, I would

figure that means that you love her. But listen, I could say I love I see said married her. What if things change because you if you understand what I mean. So anyway, she said before before we like move in together, like if we have a plan and I'm we are plan and I'm moving together. She said, we have to get married before we could move in together. So I was thinking that that's like a recipe for disaster, but not moving in together until you get married. She wants

us to get married before we move in together. Okay, what you think about that. I mean, if that's what her requirements are and what she's saying, because you guys can still date and be at each other's houses, that doesn't mean that you have to move in so you still have separate residences. I'm sure you spent a lot of time together now. But if she's not comfortable living with somebody unless they're you guys are married, then that's her prerogative. I mean that's yes, I accept that that's

her prerogative and all that. But it's like, if you there's some truish into this, like when you live with someone, right, that's that's the best way of that's the best way of getting to know them because I could see you, I could be good friends with you, I could be a good family member with you. I could have a good relationship with you, but when we've lived together, it could be so many different things that I didn't know about you, which probably would say that I wouldn't tolerate.

If you understand what I'm being told, living together is getting to know the person better. I mean, there's plenty of people who don't live together before they get married, though for some people they want to wait until marriage for that because just like you find it hard to be in love or love someone, she might find it hard to commit to somebody on that level until they're committed on the level that she wants. And if that's her standard of what she wants to do, then either

you're with it or you're not. But I just you know, you can't make somebody do something that is against their own morals or what she wants to do. I mean, do you all spend the night at each other's houses? Yeah? Yeah, we spend each other I always think we you know, we go to each other's house, We probably spend a two or three days and stuff like that. But the thing is, I, um, I'm kind of compromising a request. I said, Okay, let's engage. Then what do you think

about it? I said, Okay, so you're saying that you so basically you just want y'all to live together and you will get engaged in order to make that happen. Yes, okay, Well that's a that's a compromise. You can ask her that. You can say, Okay, well, once we get engaged, I would want us to live together and see if she's

open to that. I mean, I don't think there's anything wrong with being excited about actually getting mad married, and after you get married, y'all move in together as part of that, because some people feel like, I don't want to act like we're married and live together until we really are, and you know, some people don't feel that way. So it just seems like you guys have a difference in opinion. I don't think either one is right or wrong. Yes, but I mean, it's like it's like I'm trying to

protect her at the same time. But it's not like I'm planning on doing her dirty or anything of that sort. But it's like I'm trying to hope in her mind to like certain stuff. Especially when you're dealing with persons who are not really hoping to like society. Their soul close into like their family dynamics are their are their culture background. So it's like most of the decisions they made is based on like all hours raised. But at

the same time, you have to look outside. You have to peeple upside and see society for what it is, even though that's what your family dynamic says, or probably that's what your culture of backgrounds said. If you go out there, you're going to meet someone who probably do not have this thing. I'm not saying that you should throw everything that you're dying your family dynamics or your consort or your moral background said. But I'm just saying, like,

be more hoping to reality and what it we did. Well, sir, as soon as you decide that you love her, then y'all can have that real conversation, because you shouldn't want to be living with somebody until you can tell them that you love them and mean it. I didn't say I didn't love her. You said that you're getting there. You're not there yet. Why don't you wait till you get there? Okay, then that's that's that's okay, that's fine. I mean, Joe, I'm just I'm just saying, it feels like,

you know, you said. You guys have only been dating for four or five months. You can see this happening, y'all. It doesn't even seem like you're at the point where you can be comfortable saying I love her, I want to be with her. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. You're not even there yet. So maybe she maybe, but you're not you. You just told me, I said, do you love her? What was your answer? I said, it's it's getting there. I like okay and everything. I like her. But if I say

I love love love, all right. For me to like entirely love someone, I have to know you entirely. I don't know her. I'm just saying, let me tell you something. I wouldn't move in with somebody if they didn't love love love me, So take your time. I wouldn't put the pressure on this right now. There's nothing wrong with that. And I'm not saying that you're wrong for not feeling like you love love love her and that it's difficult for you. But why don't you work on getting to

that point before you jump to the next point. But I mean when I when you're moving to I previous dementia, when you're moving with someone, it's it's it's kind of like intimately getting to know them. I'd rather get to know your first before we before we move in together. And I don't think there's anything wrong with her position on that. I want to know that I love you first. Moving in together is a big deal for some people. Look, I can see getting engaged and then moving in together.

I kind of feel the same way. I don't want to live with somebody if we're not getting married. So if that's how she feels, that's how she feels. You feel differently, So you should have that conversation and when you're ready to propose, then maybe that's when you're moving together. Now, if things go terribly wrong, you could decide not to get married. But you know, I just think that she probably wants that love love love first. But you know, I do wish you the best of luck and have

that conversation with her. I would say, get engaged first and then start thinking about moving in together. Okay, thank you so much. Okay, you're welcome. I'm sorry, it's not what you wanted to hear, asking ye eight undred five eight five one oh five one. Now we got rumors on the way ye, yes, And Stevie Wonder has spoken and he's talking about systemic racism, police brutality, voting Juneteenth, all of those things. And we'll have that for you,

all right. We'll get into that next. Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's about report angela Ye's fund. The Breakfast Club. Otosinko is giving away two hundred and forty five thousand dollars in stimulus checks and he says he's doing that since Trump won't do it. So he posted a picture of the two hundred and forty five thousand dollars that he has ready and he said he's doing it July first via cash app.

And he's taking a part in this charitable giving because Trump wants to keep on playing games. I love, loving, loving private citizens take care of their own people, especially if you got the means to do it. Why not. That's what life is about. It's about being a service baby, all right. And Stevie Wonder is speaking out and he's talking about having an ending to police brutality, systemic racism, and so much more. Here's what he had to say. If life can have an ending, all things can have

an ending. Systemic racism can have an ending. Least brutality can have an ending. Economic repression of black and brown people can have an ending. A movement without action is a movement standing still. To those who say they care, move more than your mouth, Move your feet to the polls and use your hands to vote. Make your plan now to vote, because right now there are forces trying to take your vote away. He's absolutely right. We gotta be intentional on ending it, though, like we can't destroy

your problem. We didn't create, but we can push for the destruction of it and dismantling a white supremacy, systemic racism. It's inevitable that it will be abolished. God is given America a chance to atone for its stands. Play with God. If you want to watch what happens. You think the thane'll snap? Was something? Okay, okay, all right? Stevie Wonder also said he can see better than us. You know, it's a sad day when I can see better than

your twenty twenty vision. The universe is watching us. Let's do something. Let's make a difference. Steve, the jig been up on that. Okay, we've been though. You could see, but we just don't be saying that. You know what I'm saying, We ain't gonna blow your spot up. Salute when Stevie. Remember when Stevie came and he played Happy Birthday for Hillary Clinton. I remember how Stevie was telling

people where to go. Stevie was telling his team he was come this way, the doors right there, opening the door for people. I'm like, what the hell like? When I saw Stevie look both ways before he crossed the street, I knew shot up. I saw it. I saw it. He had pot Crow Street. He looked both ways before he crossed the street. Man m all right. Now, Ron Jeremy has been charged with three counts of rape and

one count of sexual assault. Now, the Los Angeles County District Attorney did announce yesterday that Ron Jeremy has been charged, and uh, you know he's If he is convicted, he faces a possible maximum sentence of ninety years to life in state prison. He could to be required to register as a sex offender, and that arrayment is going to be what scheduled for yesterday, so we'll see what happens

with that. But he is of course denying these accusations of sexual assault and rape in twenty seventeen, he denied it, and he has responded since then, and basically he's saying that he did not do any of these things and we'll see you know again. Ron Jeremy, Ron Jeremy, Ron Jeremy, the adult film star. He said, I'm innocent of all charges. I can't wait to prove my innocence in court. All right, Black AF has been renewed for a second season. So

congratulations to Kenya Baris, Congratulations to Rashida Jones. They did get some backlash in that series because the cast is light skinned, but Kenya Barris explain the family resembles his own. It's based on his own life, and a lot of the things in the show that people did not like is basically and people that know him have said, this is kind of what his life is like. So it's a take on that. Grass to Kenyon Burst, I didn't I didn't like the first season, Um a lot of

people did. I hope the second season is is better than the first. And do you really think Netflix was not going to renew or shoot a show called Black AF at a time like this, I would have I would have dared him to not renew this show and see what would have happened. You don't renew at a time like this. I know you didn't like it, but I enjoyed this show. And I do know people who kind of act like that in real life. So I just felt like it does I do? I definitely do.

I didn't mean I didn't say I do know people. I know all different kinds of people, and it's not necessary that you hang around there, but I know people that do certain things. And you might think it's like that was, uh, you know, a little crazy, But we just know all different kinds of people. I mean, it

is what it is. I would have enjoyed the show if him and if they have showed him and his wife going through a divorce and um him prove back, because that would explain his his curmudgeon, curmudgeon his behavior, I don't, yeah, and he's going through a divorce, so it would explain why he's so angry, why he's so mad, And then you know, the whole chains and the young clothes. That would have been the midlife crisis. I don't know. I just think it would It was a better anger

they could have took. Okay, all right, well, I mean you know, it's his thing. I guess would represent him. It would explain why his kids are so mad at him, why his daughters cursing him out because they mad that he leaving mommy. Like, I just don't feel like they explained why his character is what he is. Well, well, you know that was season one, so maybe we'll get more in depth in season two and see what's going on.

But it is also a comedy, so you know, they had some fun with certain things and some things I thought were really funny. All right, Well I'm Mandela Yee and that is your rumor report.
