Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin.

I just wanted to talk about with Joe Biden. Yeah, it do sound like blanket statements. But at the same time, another way that we could combat that is through literacy. A lot of statistics still show if our boys and our girls in our community is not reading on a level, our fourth grade is on a direct line for prison.

Man, my brother. And in particular, reading and literacy. I'm glad you said that. I have something that I'm going to be implementing soon that combats exactly that. Like, directly. I've been reading the same statistics you've been reading about how low the literacy rate is amongst black and brown people in America, man. And, you know, I'm an author. So I got some things coming that's going to directly impact that.

I think so. I'm Mr. Underscore Social Vibe on Instagram. I DM you. Man, we need to link up. I got some great stuff. I got a book company. We doing children's books with music. I can see y'all download the music, listen to it, share it with your kids. What is it? Mr. Underscore what?

Mr. Underscore Social Vibe. Social Vibe. You know the vibes. All right, brother. Hello, who's this? Yo, Big Chocolate the Toast. Okay, how we doing, y'all? Oh, nice. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest, brother. Hello, who's this? Yo, Big Chocolate the Toast Sucker. How we doing, y'all?

Oh, Lord. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest, man. Two things, Envy. Yeah, one, I want to wish my mom a happy birthday. Mom, I love you. And she likes the show, and she don't care that I'm a great toast sucker. And two, I also want to see Tekashi69 in a video with Cardi B and her bouncing booty.

So what do you think about that sausage bite? Oh, my gosh. I don't sit around and think about things like that, sir. I like Cardi B, but I have not thought about Tekashi 6ix9ine in any way, shape, or form. I'm a grown-ass man, 41 years old. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Kim. Hey, Kim, get it off your chest, Kim. What's happening, Kim?

Hey, DJ Envy. Hey, Charlamagne. Hey, Angel A. Hey. chest, Kim. What's happening, Kim? Hey. Hey, DJ Envy. Hey, Charlamagne. Hey, Angel and Yee. Hey. Hey, Kim. Okay, so I just wanted to get off my chest that yesterday I had a situation with my baby dad, and he and I have been working on our relationship to get stronger, and it was a situation where his friend was involved because she was in the car, in the vehicle with us,

and she just made a comment to me where he kind of compared us or said out loud, like, y'all are kind of similar in a joking way. And she was like, well, there is no comparison, so don't compare me to her and kind of got real rude in that situation. It just made me feel uncomfortable, which I know I should have spoke up for myself, but he did correct the situation once I got out of the car, but she has nothing to do with what he and I have going on

and us taking care of our daughter, and I just feel like she is real rude and disrespectful. Yeah, you know, never let other people's energy affect what you have going on. That's not his fault that she said that, and you can't let her affect you that way because that was her intention. And you ain't going to swing on her. A lot of times people intentionally try to say

and do nasty things, and you have to let it slide because you know that's what they want, and the best thing you can do is not react. Unless you feel like swinging on her. Right, but why didn't I catch it in that moment? Like, yo, she's being rude to me. Let me really say something and speak up for myself. I was kind of mad at myself.

Like, I should have spoke up, but... No. Yeah, when you got a lot of things going on and, you know, you're blessed and, you know, you're not stressing about nothing, sometimes you miss stuff like that. You'd be like, was he trying to play me? Or was she trying to play me? Then you catch it later, but who cares?

Let them die in their own misery. Well, that's true. Thank you. That's all, bro. Well, have a good one. All righty, mama. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

What's up, Reckless TV? Get it off your chest. I wanted to speak about college. I did trade school. I did two years for HVAC and electricity. And I can work anywhere in the United States. I'm 23 years old and nobody's doing trade no more. Everybody's trying to be doctors and

lawyers. So right now, trade school is the best thing you can do. I agree. After I graduated, my teacher came to me and said I should go for another four years and I'll be guaranteed to make six figures and I can go anywhere in the United States. So trade school is popping right now because ain't nobody really doing it,

and everybody needs help with HVAC and air conditioning. Yeah, exactly. I met this guy the other day, I think when I was in D.C., man. He ran up on me, and he was like, man, thank you for always talking about trade school because I went to trade school, and I've been gainfully employed for 40 plus years. There he goes. I forgot what he said he did.

Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Larry Carter from South Carolina, man. Larry, what's up, man? What's happening, Larry? What's up, man? Easy. Hey, man. Hey.

I just lost my mother-in-law. Just lost my mother-in-law Saturday, man, due to this coronavirus. My sister-in-law is also in the MUSC fighting for her life. My wife, who's a director of adult education, she also contracted this coronavirus.

Yo, I got a six-year-old daughter, man, and she also got it and tested positive. Yeah, man, I got a niece, a nephew, but two nieces and a nephew. And I just want, you know, maybe I can get the world to come together and send a prayer for them, man, because at this moment the Carter's going through it.

Damn, I'm definitely going to put a prayer up in the air for the Carters. Let me ask you a question. Does the six-year-old have any symptoms? Yo, my six-year-old don't have any symptoms. Her name is Janiyah Carter. She don't have any symptoms. Her name is Janiyah Carter. She don't have any symptoms. My nephew, he's DJ. He don't have symptoms. How old is he?

Like 12. He's 12. And I got another niece. He's nine. And, you know, all these folks live in the same house. Like I said, my wife went down there to help them and, you know, because she's a twin and she loves her family. And unfortunately, you know, because she a twin and she love her family. And unfortunately, you know, we lost my mother-in-law Saturday, man.

And I just want to give a, you know, to let the people know that this thing is really for real, especially the people of color, because they're not taking it as seriously as they should, man. And I need to get that off my chest this morning, man, because I'm just feeling a certain kind of way, brother. I understand, Larry. How old is your mother-in-law? My mother-in-law is like 74, man. I'm telling you, this lady was in great shape.

It's like when she went to the hospital, and matter of fact, she drove herself to the hospital the first time that she went and got, you know, and got diagnosed. And the second time, she started having a little scrap though. She went back to the hospital. My wife took her. She walked in the hospital, man.

And like when she got on this ventilator, stuff just went down. Wow. I don't know if her body could take it or not, man. Damn. And I'm so worried about my wife because she had to come home at the hospital to try to get everything in order. because her twin is down there on the ventilator. And, you know, she don't really know what's going on, man. And, yo, I just need for the world to pray for us, man.

I'm going to put one up for you. I'm putting one up for you as soon as I hang this goddamn phone up with you. I'm praying right now. Hey, Charlamagne, cause you my homeboy. You from Carolina. Yes, sir. So you know what time it is, man, you know. And we don't know nothing else. We know how to pray, man.

That's right. And fry some fish. Right. And I want to tell you this one thing right here. I was in the convenience store after my mother-in-law passed. I went to the convenience store and I had my mask, my gloves on. These two young guys, two young black boys,

maybe like 14 or 15, they're in the store joking like, oh, black people can't get the corona and all that. Oh, Lord. I had to check these kids, man. I said, yo, that's not true because I just lost someone behind the coronavirus. So, y, like, yo, brother. I said, yo, that's not true because I just lost someone behind

the coronavirus. So y'all don't say stuff like that, man. Don't say stupid stuff that don't make sense because we are the one, the white people catching the flu and we catching the corona. It just

ain't adding up. Yeah, it's very hard. It's very hard for when somebody says to you black people can't get corona. It's very hard not to tell them. Yeah, man, especially if you take a shot of bleach a day. It's very hard not to tell them that when they say stuff like that. Well, thank you for checking in, bro. We'll definitely throw some prayers up for you, man. Get it off your chest.

Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club talk about it morning everybody it's dj nv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club good morning now if you just joined us we're talking about a statement that did he made and uh can we play a statement black vote is is not going to be for free. You know, what are we getting in return for our vote? Nothing has changed for Black America. And in order for us to vote for Biden, we can't be taken for granted like we always are because we're supposed to be Democrats or because people are afraid of Trump. It's whoever's going to take care of our community, whoever wants to make a deal. It's business at this point.

You know, we can't trust politicians. Biden needs to make it clear that he's going to change the lives and quality of life of black and brown people. I will hold the vote hostage if I have to. First of all, I want to say what Diddy said in that video is what I've been on for the past year. That's why every presidential candidate that came to the Breakfast Club, I asked them, do they have a specific black agenda? Because I made up my mind a long time ago that I was going to vote my interests and my interests are black people. You know, I'm saying I'm not voting for individuals. And to me, the concept is simple. It's when you do business, when you do deals, you go into negotiate the terms of what you want.

That's how we need to start treating Democrats. If not, black people will be voting out of fear for the rest of their lives. And if you're being honest with yourself, conditions of black people have been the same in America for decades, regardless of who the president is. And we will not make any real systemic change in our communities until we change our approach to politics. I don't think it's too much to ask of a candidate like Joe Biden, who owes his political life to black people, to meet some demands for black people. Number one, you want to know what those demands are? And this is where Diddy messed up because he didn't say what he wanted. Number one, I think a black woman running mate is a must. That should be non-negotiable, period.

Joe Biden already said he would put a black woman on the Supreme Court. He committed to that. Great. We need that. And most importantly, Biden needs to adopt one of these black agendas and make it his own. I've been talking to y'all about Black Futures Lab, Black Agenda, which urges elected officials and government to make black people powerful through policy in the economy, in our democracy, our families, our society, our communities and the legal system.

Joe Biden can take things from that. He can take things from Bloomberg's economic black agenda, like wanting to invest $70 billion in low income neighborhoods throughout the country, increase the number of black homeowners and doubling the number of African-American small businesses if he's elected president. He can adopt all of those things to him, and he should. It's quite simple. And I don't think there's anything wrong with making those demands. But there is a lot of people out there that says, hey, I'm going to vote for anybody that's

against Trump. And the reason this conversation came up is because Kenny Burns, who's somebody that used to work with Diddy and work with Rockefeller, he's in the industry. He says, Puff, this statement is very irresponsible at this point. The only option is to get Trump out of office. Come on, champ. Encouraging people to stand by is not an option.

Hashtag vote or die. And reading his comments. He didn't say stand by. Diddy said, I'm going to hold my vote hostage? What happens when you hold something hostage? You hold it hostage until your demands are met. What is wrong? What's wrong with asking?

I know, but there's nothing irresponsible about demanding something for your vote. The only thing that he did remotely wrong in that is he didn't say what he wanted. He said black agenda, but I guess he was too vague on that. Now, what are you thinking? Yes, I was actually looking at Joe Biden's website to see what he has, because they have this whole page, highlights from Joe Biden's agenda for the black community

and what he's planning to do. So it says he's investing over $70 billion in HBCUs. And he's also doing loan forgiveness that works for public servants and double funding for the state's small business credit initiative to $3 billion to assist small businesses, especially those owned by people of color. He's talking about investing in the communities through housing. And then I know we also discussed this task force that he is planning to do. And then I know he has Bernie Sanders on board with him as well now, and Kamala Harris and a lot of people endorsing him. But what I really pay attention to is,

who are you putting in office around you? I think that's what I find to be extremely important. And so I'm paying attention to who is endorsing and supporting Joe Biden. Who is he listening to right now? Because I look at somebody like Donald Trump, who is very dangerous, as we can see in particular during this pandemic. And I'm looking at who he has around him, advising him, because I don't think Donald Trump comes up with everything that he wants to do on his own. It's not a dictatorship. So what's most important to me right now is who are you putting into position around you? I would never say I'm holding my vote hostage. What I would say is that these are the demands that I want met. These are the people I want to see in position. And I would want to make sure that those things get done. I don't want to say we've been raised, but I feel like we've been conditioned that

if they're Democrat, we automatically just vote. Absolutely. Instead of really asking for something. That's it. Like I said, I don't necessarily think that he cares about our people. I honestly don't think that. He hasn't stood up and said what he does now. It's all cooler to accept these things because he knows he has to, but does he really care when he gets into office? Is he really going to implement these plans?

I don't know, but a lot of people feel like they have to do whatever it takes to get Trump out. But it's a campaign, right? So during the campaign, you but a lot of people feel like they have to do whatever it takes to get Trump out. But it's a campaign, right? So during the campaign, you make a lot of promises. Make us some promises, mother effer. Simple as that. Black people give Democrats almost 90% of their votes in all elections, and we don't ever ask for anything in return.

But 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking about Diddy. He was on Instagram and this is what he said. Black voting is not going to be for free. You know, what are we getting in return for our vote?

Nothing has changed for black America. And in order for us to vote for Biden, we can't be taken for granted like we always are because we're supposed to be Democrats or because people are afraid of Trump. It's whoever's going to take care of our community, whoever wants to make a deal. It's business at this point. You know, we can't trust politicians. Biden needs to make it clear that he's going to change the lives and quality of life of black and brown people. I will hold the vote hostage if I have to. I love the energy. There's nothing irresponsible about demanding something for your vote. Now, Kenny Burns is a young man that worked with Diddy.

He also worked with Rockefeller before. He has his own liquor podcast and all that. He replied, Puff, this statement is very irresponsible at this point. The only option is to get Trump out of office. Come on, champ. Encouraging people to stand by is not an option. Then he said Puff erased his comment and blocked him.

I will keep saying over and over, there's nothing irresponsible about demanding something for your vote. I think the only thing that Diddy did wrong in that video is he didn't say what he wanted. I've been clear about what I want for the past year. What I want is a black woman running mate. That's a must. That should be a non-negotiable. Joe Biden already said he would put a black woman on the Supreme Court. That is great. And most importantly, we need Biden to adopt one of these black agendas that's out here. It can be Black Futures Lab, black agenda. It

could be pieces of Mayor Bloomberg's economic agenda. It could be pieces of Mayor Pete's Douglas plan. Whatever it is, adopt one of these black agendas. Make it your own, okay? Like, yo, you can't even lie to us, bro. It's a freaking presidential campaign. You can't even tell us what you're going to do, even if you don't do it? Well, a lot of people feel, believe in what Kenny Burns has said. One person said, if we don't vote Trump, if we don't vote, Trump wins again.

We saw this last term. Somebody said, oh, man, he just randomly said this on a Tuesday. The check must have cleared. Some people said, no, we have to get Trump out of office. Some people said, no, we have to work. Beating Trump doesn't necessarily mean better for us. That's all I'm saying. So let's go to the phone line.

Okay. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, Envy? It's Q from the Bronx. How's it going? Q line. Okay. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, Envy? It's Q from the Bronx. How's it going? Q from the Bronx. Hey, Q! What are your thoughts?

I'm really disappointed in you, man. I'm really disappointed in you. Why are you disappointed in me, brother? Joe Biden has done nothing to earn the black vote. He was one of the main creators of the 1994 crime bill. And 86 crack laws. That put behind bars so many black men. So I actually, I don't like that he, but I agree with him.

What Kenny Burns said, I said, a lot of people feel that way. That is not what envy feels. I'm saying, but a lot of people do feel like the only goal is they have to get Trump out of office. I feel like any candidate has to have something for me and my community. And Joe Biden has been dodging the Breakfast Club to even come up here and talk. I want to stop. That's why they abuse us because they automatically think black people are Democrats. And that's not the case.

I agree with you. It could be a Republican. It could be a dependent. It could be a Republican. It could be a dependent. It could be a Democrat. It could be Donald Trump. Absolutely. I'm really serious. If Donald Trump came with a plan to show, you know what?

Black people have been abused for this amount of time. This is what we're going to give them. We're going to reform this. We're going to influx with these stimulus packages into our inner city communities. I'm going with Donald Trump. You vote in your interest. Whoever is going to actually have a plan. And it's

really crazy because look at this. The Holocaust never happened in this country, yet Jewish people received reparations. Slavery built this country and black people have not received anything. So Joe Biden to me right now, he's an op. He has done nothing. He called him an op.

That's the truth though. Behind bars. Now, he gotta earn it. You're right, my brother. On God, on God, I will vote for Donald Trump. I don't know about all that. I don't know about all that. We can't throw stuff. People hearing soundbites, so you can't

say things like I would just vote for Donald Trump. He said he would vote for Donald Trump if Donald Trump actually put something on the table tangible for black people. I want Joe Biden to have these three things on his table in order for me to feel comfortable voting for him. Number one is a black agenda. Number two is a black woman running me. Number three, he already said he put a black woman on the Supreme Court. I want him to commit to those things for me to feel really, really comfortable going out to vote for him in November. I just feel like he does a lot of comfortable interviews where I don't

think they'll necessarily ask him the questions that need to be asked. And I think that he avoids our community a lot. I don't think he has anything on the table for our community. And I think he's done a lot to hurt our community. It hasn't even said, you know what I did was I made a mistake and I'm sorry. I apologize. I made a bad decision.

I made a wrong decision. In life, we all make wrong decisions, but it's what you do after that wrong decision to fix it. Yes. He has to atone for the 94 crime bill through policy. It's really not that hard. Like, I really don't understand why people are so confused about what Diddy said. There is nothing irresponsible about demanding something

for your vote. Simple. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Call us up if you're taking your calls. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. If you just joined us, we're talking about something that Diddy said. Can we play it right fast? Black voting's not going to be for free. You know, what are we getting in return for our vote? Nothing has changed for Black America. And in order for us to vote for Biden, we can't be taken for granted like we always are because we're supposed to be Democrats or because people are afraid of Trump. It's whoever's going

to take care of our community, whoever wants to make a deal. It's business at this point. You know, we can't trust politicians. Biden needs to make it clear that he's going to change the lives and quality of life of black and brown people. I will hold the vote hostage if I have to. Well, a lot of people feel like it's irresponsible and he should just be saying, just vote against Trump. Now, what do you think, E? I think right now this is exactly what Trump supporters want to be happening. All of this going back and forth within the Democrats and I'm not voting, I'm not doing this, I'm holding my vote hostage and all of that. I have been saying I pay attention to who people put in office around them. And I think that has been very important for me as far as deciding who I like

and who I want to support and what policies they are going to be presenting for us and what positive change they're going to be making. I've been looking at Joe Biden's website just to see what his proposals are and what his plans are. I wouldn't say that he's not doing, he doesn't have any plans at all because I don't think that's true. But, you know, for the black community. So I don't, I wouldn't say nothing because that's simply not true. Just based off of what I see he plans to do for HBCUs and the money that he wants to put into that and into education and into housing and development and the task force that he's now saying that he's going to do.

I think you just have to keep on demanding those things. But I just hate to see how united the Republicans always are and how divided the Democrats always are. Well, you know why? Because Republicans fall in line, Democrats fall in love. You know what I'm saying? We have to love the individual. Republicans love their interests.

And that's all we need to start doing. You know what I mean? You talk about the task force. Okay, the same task force that he wouldn't, he doesn't even want a truth to power speaker like Nina Turner on. You know what I'm saying? Yes, I would love the investment in HBCUs,

but there's other things that we need. You know, we need housing. We need, I like the fact that Bloomberg wanted to invest 70 billion in low income neighborhoods throughout the country. You know what I'm saying? We need healthcare. We need being able to get low.

Yeah, he has health care on there and he talks about expanding on Obamacare on his website. And he does talk about housing also on his website. And so all of that is on there. But we want to see all of that really come to fruition. And we also want to continue to keep building. I don't think anybody's plan has everything in it that we want. And everything's perfect.

But we do have to keep on saying, okay, good. We got this. Now we want this. We want this. And we want these things. By the way, that's all Diddy's saying. Once again, I'm going to hold my vote hostage until my demands

are met. There is nothing wrong with that. Everything that we're saying is absolutely correct. When you want something from one of these candidates, understand that your vote is transactional. I give you something, you give me something. You give me something, I give you something. The thought of Trump another four years is very scary to me.

And I will say that. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello. Who's this? This is Blue. Hey, guys. I wanted to say thank you for taking my phone call. But I wanted to say I understand what Diddy is saying as far as he wanted a black agenda.

But this is not the time for that. Oh, my God. Let him talk. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Let me talk with Charlemagne. He's been rolling back human rights. He want to nominate another Supreme Court justice.

That's going to take away women's rights. He rolling back HUDs or programs. He's trying to take away people's voting rights. Like, I definitely want a black agenda. But, man, we got to get out there and vote and get this guy out of here. Or we're going to lose more than what we even had before he came in. Thank you for taking the time. I feel you. But, man, it feels like every single election,

black people are forced to vote out of fear. Every single election, black people are choosing between the lesser of two evils. When are we going to get to choose between our interests? And I ain't going to front, man. You know, reading his stuff on his site about highlights from Joe Button's agenda for the black community. Joe Button is not running for president, Envy. Joe Biden. It seems so vague

through his policies of education. Joe will ensure that black families can build and sustain wealth for themselves and their communities because home ownership is the key to build it. This is vague, man. This is really vague. It's This is really vague. It's not necessarily a plan. And that's why I said you have to build on that.

You have to say, okay, these are the things that I want met. I see you have this written, so how is that actually going to work? How is this being implemented? What's the money that's being injected for this? Those are all things that you have to make sure that you bring to the table. And violence against women. Joe will build on the landmark violence against women. This is so vague. It's not even saying what he's doing. He's just saying, I'm Joe will build on the landmark violence against women. This is so vague.

It's not even saying what he's doing. He's just saying, I'm going to build on the things that's there. That's like saying I'm going to sell a car, and I'm like, yeah, this car is really fast, and you're safe if you wear your seatbelt. He's not building on anything that's there anymore. That's there before. All I know is the conditions of black people have been the same in America for decades, regardless of who the president is, and we will not make any real systemic change in our communities until we change our approach to politics.

And I don't think it's too much to ask of a candidate like Joe Biden, who owes his political life to black people to meet some demands for black people. And by the way, he's right. You need both. You need an inside outside game. You need somebody rattling the cage saying, look, we're going to hold these votes hostage, and you need somebody else talking to him in another manner. You can do both because guess what? You know what people in Biden's camp need to be doing for him today? Whether it's Simone Sanders or Cedric or anybody, they need to be going to Joe Biden and saying, bro, we're going to have a problem on our hands in November if you don't get this black agenda going.

We're going to have a problem on our hands if you don't pick a black woman running me. Simple as that. I just feel like Diddy's a powerful person, and he has access that he could get a sit down with Joe Biden. He could present these plans and could have people on the team with him and could support, you know. We don't know. Maybe he tried. For him personally, you know, he could. Yeah, we don't know. Maybe he tried. Maybe he tried to get a conversation. Maybe Diddy's like, nah, after denying my conversation, this is how I feel.

And sometimes you got to throw it out there so people understand and put the pressure on people. We've seen it over and over and over again. I just feel like he's in a great position to represent for us and to really present some things that he feels like would be great for our community. And also do that in conjunction with maybe a Bernie Sanders or in conjunction with Elizabeth, anybody. But I feel like he does have a lot of access. More than the average person. All right. We got more coming up next.

We're The Breakfast Club with The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest on the phone lines this morning. We have Barbara Cochran.

Welcome. Welcome to you to have me. Thank you for having me. Now, first of all... One of my favorite sharks, Barbara and Damon John are my two favorites. Well, you've got good taste because Damon's my favorite as well. So how are you quarantining?

How is everything? Where are you held up at? What are you doing? I'm held up at New York City. I'm right over Central Park. So I have a beautiful view. And I've watched those medical tents go up and go down, which gave me a positive feeling. But I'm trying to keep my marriage together.

It's going on 37 years. I know everything wrong with my husband. There's nothing wrong with me. Wow. That's what my wife says. You know everything right about him too then. Yeah, I do. I'm sticking with it, I'm afraid, at this point, yeah.

Now with the real estate industry right now, you know, you made a fortune off real estate, I'm sure you continue to do so. You know, what, what do you advise people to do? Is this a good time for people to get into real estate? I know a lot of people are scared with the market dropping. I'm looking at real estate. I see the house market is going down a little bit. What would you advise for people to do right now outside of this pandemic? If they have a little money saved as far as real estate is concerned? Well, today's a day where you could really make a killing, but a lot of people don't have the guts to do it. I think every single property I ever bought that became my best investments over time, homes, investment properties, because that's what I do for a living. I got them on on certain times and everybody was saying, which way are we going to go? What's going on? And right now,

the real estate market is choppy. You've got some areas we have overbidding like Seattle, Washington, portions of even San Francisco still, urban markets. And then you've got markets that are dumping like crazy, like New York City, for example. People didn't even renew their leases last month that were up for renewal. Only 40% of everybody renewed their leases. people are vacating cities for the time being but amidst all that change what you've got is you've got a desperate seller somewhere in that pile is a desperate seller and so if you can stay in the market you're looking in whatever your home ballpark is because that's where you want to stay stuff you know if you can p on something, you can get yourself a great deal. But again, I say, you got to have a set of you know what to get in there and do that kind of thing.

You could say a set of balls. Well, you're allowed to say that. I thought even that was illegal now. You could say whatever. Not on this show. Not on this show. Okay. I got a set, by the way.

I was recently reading about a lot of people are going to Connecticut now from New York and they said the prices of real estate of Connecticut are going up. And I'm seeing a lot of people, I don't know if this is a trend, but a lot of people who had like small apartments in the city are wanting to have more space now. And after this pandemic, they're thinking, okay, let me get rid of this small, expensive apartment and actually move somewhere and move to Brooklyn, move to Queens, move to Connecticut where connecticut where i can yeah jersey where i can have more space so what kind of trends are out there that we should be paying attention to well you actually named the main trend and that is true of new jersey westchester county connecticut if you're away from the fray

that's the new commodity out there everybody wants to be away the The idea of luxury, forget about it. Nobody's talking those words. Even people, families who are shopping for homes right now aren't even talking about how good is the school district. You know why? Because they're thinking they're going to homeschool their kids anyway. You know, the home today has to be the office. It has to be the schoolhouse. It has to be a place where you could actually love your family 24-7 and have the freedom to get away from everybody else. That's asking a lot. So what that's translating to right now is a huge demand for housing in those areas, even though they can't fairly show those houses. People are riding up, parking in the driveway, brokers are opening door, telling them to put a mask on, help yourself,

nobody's home. It's very difficult to do business. But despite all that, these properties are going up, up, up in value because of fear. You know, it's funny that you said that I'm actually selling my house and now is the time I'm going to put it on the market because I live in New Jersey and everybody has been reaching out saying, hey, we want to get out of the city. It's too close. I need something. And you know what's selling right now? People want to pull. It's summertime. They're like, if your house has a pool, it will sell. So I've had agents call and I'm glad I was going to sell it last year. But now it seems like the market, the prices went up even more. So I'm like, I'm glad I waited. And not only that, but interest rates came down. But now I have

a question for you. Where are you going to move? I would give that a little bit of thought before you have that family move into your house. Oh, I found a home run. Similar to what you said. I found a home run. This was, it was up there in price and I was able to get it for a great, great, great deal. So even if I, you know, not take as much here. You dirty dog, shame on you. I'm following your footsteps. I'm following in your footsteps. I don't want the competition. Cut it out. I want to be the big shot in town. I love love your whole story too how you started everything with a thousand dollars and i read an article where you were talking about how you feel like the people that you would invest in and who you feel could be most successful are people who come from poverty and difficult circumstances so do you find that still holds true especially right now yeah i identify with people like that and i can give you a whole list

of reasons why it makes good financial sense as well. My background is one of 10 kids in a two-bedroom flat. Let me tell you, we worked since the time we were 12. We may not have been like I was terrible at school, but I was a great hard worker. And so people who struggle, and in fact, people who have a real deficit in their childhood, I find make phenomenal entrepreneurs. They create a world like kind of how they envision it versus fitting in with somebody else's world. And so when I'm on that Shark Tank show, every time I'm sitting in that seat, I'm looking for a loser. It sounds weird, but I'm looking for the guy who was raised by a single mom. I'm looking for the gal whose

mother said she'd never amount to anything. I'm looking for somebody who's motivated by insult, somebody who's got something to prove, somebody who knows what it's like to take a hit, be smashed around a bit, because you know what they learn in that journey? They learn to get back up. Instead, you give me a privileged kid, and now I've got privileged kids, so I'm not going to really say, but give me a privileged kid, and they lack the experience of struggle.

You know, they've been on the fancy vacations. Everything's kind of come easy. It's not their fault. It's just their environment, how they've grown up. And you can't learn the toughness in the skin and the street smarts that you learn when you come from the ghetto or the family that's that needs this and needs that. You had to help out. So many different values. So that's what I do. I buy the entrepreneurs what I do

when I'm buying those businesses. And the poorer they are, the better they do for me every time. It's a different work ethic when a person knows if they fail, they can just call their parents or get more investors to invest in them when people know that if they do fail, this is it.

So I think it is a different mentality of I can't fail. Absolutely. I'm going to add something to that that you might not think of because I've seen both sides, the privileged side and the poor side. I've lived both lives. The one advantage, huge advantage, and Damon John talks about it, the power of broke, to steal his idea, but I learned it for myself, is when you're poor, you have an advantage of, you have nowhere to go but up. You don't have pushing parents that have been really successful, like monkeys on your back,

expecting you to be a big deal when you grow up. You are free to be exactly who you are. And privileged kids don't walk into the work world with that. They've got the attorney dad, the high finance mom, pushing, pushing, pushing from behind. And you know what it does? It winds up becoming somebody to make happy versus making yourself happy.

So you have a huge advantage when you don't come with all that monkey business on your back. All right, we have more with Barbara Cochran. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Barbara Cochran. I wanted to ask, you know, we've seen a story a couple months ago about somebody trying to scam you out of $400,000. Oh, yes. You reported this. What happened in that case? Well, we got an email. My bookkeeper gets an email from a company saying I'm buying four or six investment properties in Berlin, Germany. Now, I buy investment properties, but not in Berlin.

Okay, I don't know Berlin. But it wasn't out of the norm. And they wrote in the name of one of my colleagues at my office who usually authorize our billing. So it was authorized by a fake name, which looked real, and out went the money. It was wired out, okay? I had a heart attack. But fortunately, they wired it to a German bank on its way to China, and we stopped it in Germany and got the money back.

I was sweating that one all night. Yeah, because I emailed you, too. I emailed you, too. I said that I was your adopted son that you never paid child support for, and I asked for only $100,000, but I never got that wire. I'm not paying you nickel. I can tell you're scamming me right here. Come on.

You don't even look desperate. I don't know about you. No, no, no. With that beard and stuff going on, forget it. Not at all. Well, what happens now with protocol in the office? Because we actually debated this at work because I was like, well, it feels like, you know, for Barbara Corcoran, $400,000 might be a typical, okay, I'll let my office handle it.

But I remember you guys were like, no, there's no way. That is too high of an amount of money that it doesn't go through certain approval process. Protocols, certain protocols, yeah. Well, today we have all the protocol, and you know what the most safe one is of all? Outside the internet. Before any money is wired over a very small amount, the people have to pick up the phone and say, did you send this wire?

That's all it is. It's just a phone call as a stop check, and that's what we've initiated at the office. Now, what markets do you think is a good market for somebody that's trying to get in a real estate game and say what markets should they be looking at? You know, Anjali and I invested in Detroit and did very well. What markets would you say? Well, kind of like the old days when people used to make a lot of money in real estate

when they followed the train lines, you know? You follow those train lines, you see all those new places in California opening up. Today's version of that is follow the job market. If a large company is opening up in an area and they're employing a lot of well-educated people, you know, prices are going to go through the roof. So for example, a great example is very close to my home here where I'm investing in heavily, which is Pittsburgh. I almost said Philadelphia. Everybody's saying Pittsburgh, yeah. Everybody's saying Pittsburgh, and they're a little late.

I mean, I've been investing there for almost three years. Not to show off about it, but I've watched my prices go up, and your memory is your deficit. It makes you hesitate. Like, wait, I could have gotten that cheaper two years ago. But it's got so much room for going up because there's so much industry moving in. There's so much government support. The city is supporting real estate development and there aren't as many restrictions. So you can wheel and deal, renovate, you could increase your rent. And so it's a very secure investment right now. I don't see any really downsides. It's got to be something, but maybe

I'm turning an eye to it. Yeah. Now, were you affected bad by, you know, the pandemic and people not being able to pay rent and all those things? You know, how are you holding up with that? And, you know, what happens from there? What happens next outside of that with those properties that you own? Well, I'm actually a small property owner. I own small buildings like 812 units. Well, maybe that sounds big, but in real estate terms in New York City, it's not like a high rise building or something.

That's where I'm comfortable. But the moment the eviction proceedings were frozen here in New York, I had roughly 20 percent of my tenants calling saying they didn't want to pay their rent. This was in April, April 1. And of those 20 percent, 10 percent, we allowed not to pay our rent because, you know, what the other 10 percent were doing? They all had their jobs. They had fancy jobs and they're well-educated kids, maybe in their thirties. And they were calling and saying, we don't want to pay our rent. And when we asked why it was because we just don't want to pay it. They still had jobs. They still had income, but 10% of the people were working because we're doing everything we can to help people like that. Now, what's interesting to realize is the landlord's position.

I can afford to have 10%, maybe 15% of my tenants not pay their rent. Don't tell them because 10% is plenty in my book. Absolutely. Once you hit, say, 20%, I've got a problem. I've got to pay my real estate taxes and I've got to pay my mortgage and I'm not going to be able to afford it. So what happens then? Buildings go into foreclosure. Rents have to be set, but buildings can't be fixed. Roofs can't be without leaks. They can't be fixed. Radiators going. You can't provide heat. And we've had that. I lived it,

actually, in the early 70s when landlords were walking away, abandoning buildings because of rent control. So we kind of have like a short-term version of rent control all over again with all these freezes on don't pay your rent. You can't foreclose. So I'm all for it to help out people, but I'm worried it might go too far, particularly in New York City. And then we're going to have really big problems with the landlords, which means we have problems with the financiers, the banks who give the mortgages. Who do they turn to? And the crap just rolls downhill. That's how it rolls.

But you know what? I had that problem, too. I had closer to 40% not pay. But you know what it was for? It was because the mayor and the governors got on air and said, hey, we're going to make it where, you know, if you can't afford to pay rent, you don't have to pay rent. You can't get evicted. Yeah, you can't get evicted. So when people hear that, automatically they think, oh, I don't have to pay rent. You can't get evicted. Yeah, you can't get evicted. So when people hear that, automatically they think,

oh, I ain't got to pay rent. You can't evict me. And I'm like, no, it don't work like that. Absolutely. Power to the people, right? Yeah. You know what? They've just changed all those rules

that the only way the tenant can pay rent is so he could prove hardship, show that he's collecting unemployment. You should know that because that makes a big difference. That's a need case. And that's how it should should be really. And that's been changed. Absolutely. Now, Barbara, how are your businesses that you're invested into doing from Shark Tank in particular? Because it is a hard time for small businesses right now. So I'm sure that's something that you've been

paying attention to with the Paycheck Protection Program and all of that. Yeah, of course. You know, I've invested in about 80 some odd businesses to date, and I'm in touch with not everyone, but just about everyone over the many weeks. I'm always staying in touch. What are you doing? What are you thinking about? Where's your head going? What are the numbers? Not with an eye towards seeing if we're making money or not, but simply laying myself out there like I've lived through four bad times and came out alive. So how could I help you? And here's the interesting thing I have found. I have found that probably 10% of

my businesses are actually going to make it through the other side. I wish I could say all of them, but here's what the difference is. A lot of them listen, but are waiting for the change. If you sit and wait for the change, you're not coming out the other side. I tell them that, but they don't know what to do. They're afraid to do whatever, whatever. They didn't even take advantage of the PPP program, which was open to everybody. But about 10% of my businesses did a couple of things really smart. They looked at where all their money was coming from. They assumed it wasn't going to keep coming and they reinvented how they could sell their product or service. And so those particular businesses are going to come through fine.

And interesting enough, going back to that early conversation we had, they were all street smart people who had been through hard times. So for them, it wasn't a real shocker. All right, we have more with Barbara Cochran. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Barbara Cochran. Now, let's talk about Shark Tank. Are you tired of Shark Tank, or do you still enjoy it? You're still enjoying seeing the crazy people and the crazy ideas? I'm tired of Robert Herjavec. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Chatty, chatty, chatty.

Okay, I'm tired of listening. Calm down, Robertty, chat. Okay, I'm tired of listening. Calm down, Robert, you know. I'm never tired of Shark Tank. Let me tell you, when I got hired for Shark Tank, when I signed that contract, I was the happiest girl in New York City. I bought myself a new set of luggage, new outfits, and I was going to Hollywood. And I told everybody I knew, I'm going to Hollywood. You know, with the sign and everything. And then Shark Tank simply made a call and told me I wasn't hired.

They replaced me with another woman. But I signed the contract. What do you mean I signed the contract? They said we didn't sign the contract. Yeah, what a shocker. I didn't want to tell my family and friends, I'm not going to Hollywood anymore. And so I sent them an email.

I sent Mark Burnett, the top producer who owned the show then. I didn't know he was a big shot. I just knew he was in charge. And I sent him an email and tell him, you know what? All my best winnings came on the heels of failure. When Donald Trump said I'd never see a penny of the $3 million he owed me, I beat him in federal court. When Sister Stella Marie, I went on and on and on, told me i would never learn to read just because i was stupid

in school i know how to read i just gave it to him and then i ended by saying i consider your rejection a lucky charm and i'd like to come out and compete for the seat and i expect to be on that plane and what do you think he did he let me compete compete and I won. That's dope. Who was the other person? I'm not telling you. I'm just curious. I can't tell you. I've been asked that a few times. I will not ever say who the other person is. It's not right.

How do you think this show has changed from when it first started until now? Because it feels more like you already have to have shown some real numbers in order for you to even get on Shark Tank to have had some success already. I feel like earlier you didn't really have to be so polished. Yeah. Well, I have to say from my perspective, those earlier days, I liked them for two reasons. One, people came in and asked for $10,000, you know, for 20% of their business. Now people come in and ask for $400,000 for 1%. Yeah, for 5%.

That is Mark Cuban every time, of course, because he's got loads of money, you know. But the difference here today is they do expect sales, but there are exceptions. And the exception that I made, just on a whim and just on my gut, was buying into the Comfys, which is an oversized sweatshirt, the Comfy, the original Comfie. And there were just two guys standing there, and to my shock,

they had a great jingle, like two guys drunk in a bar, two brothers. And when I said, what are your sales? We don't have any. What is the price you can make that thing? We don't know. Who are you going to sell it to? All the wrong answers, especially if you think about it short term today. Yes.

Nobody comes with no answers. And I'm like, what's on the shelf, you know? And I said, what the hell? I'll take 30% in your business, but I don't know what I paid them. $50,000, maybe $20,000, I don't know. They've done $86 million in sales. Oh, my gosh. That's great.

They're my single most successful investment. And the reason I bought into them was I thought, these are great guys. I could have a beer with them and have fun at a bar. Ah, it's not a lot of money. Let me throw it and see what happens. Well, look what happened. And so I think every season for me, it's a new surprise. Like, who's coming through that door

today? I feel like you really have to have it together. Like I've always, first of all, I just want to say I've always wanted to be on Shark Tank and do a pitch because I watch it, but it's also seems so nerve wracking and it's not an easy thing to do. And then sometimes you watch it and you're like,

oh my God, they are bombing right now. You know, but you can never predict. I think sometimes I think, oh, that went terrible or I'll think that went great and it'll be the opposite. Yeah. You know what happened last year was shocked me. Four guys came out and started a pitch I think sometimes I think, oh, that went terrible, or I think that went great, and it'll be the opposite. Yeah. You know what happened last year was shocking. Four guys came out and started to pitch.

In the middle of their pitch, they were great. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Really a dog and pony show. In the middle of the pitch, they got so excited. One guy hits the floor and lays quietly. We're laughing like crazy. That's funny. You know, we had fainted out of the pressure.

Really? Wow. Until he got revived. But you know whated out of the pressure. Really? Wow. He got revived. But you know what the reality TV is? No second chances. That's reality TV. We never saw them again. It broke my heart. Wow. You know I like Shark Tank the most and I love Shark Tank. I love watching it and I love trying

to make a bid myself before you guys make a bid or say how much I would offer or give. But the thing that I like about it the most is my kids watch Shark Tank. My kids are into it. You know, I have an 18 year old, a 16 year old. They watch it and they are into it. They know the you know what a company is worth. And they're learning this way before I did. Like, you know, I'm from Queens. I didn't know anything about investing. So they're learning that and they're calling me dad. I think this company is worth

this much because of this, that and and the other, and I love that. Yeah, of course, because you know what? It's a real-life education. It is. It's something they can really use. But do you want me to give you the bad side of that? They're going to come to you and say, hey, Dad, how about you make an investment in this great idea we have, and my valuation is give me the cash, and you're not going to like it at all. Well, you know, they already started it.

My son already started a business where he sold, where he was selling used clothes, which he did well. Then he started another business where he was selling video game coins and needed money to promote himself. He already started. See, those businesses I'm helped because it's small money. You know, I'm just waiting to the day where, you know, like Donald Trump's son and be like, hey, dad,

can I have a million dollar loan, I'm just waiting to the day where, you know, like Donald Trump's son and be like, hey, dad, can I have a million dollar loan? I'm not there yet, but the small things, I can definitely give him $500 and $100. I can do that much. You sound like a good dad to me. Well, thank you so much for being on The Breakfast Club for the first time.

We really appreciate that. My pleasure. Really nice hanging out with you guys. You're lovely to speak with, really. All right. Well, thank you so much. It's Barbara Corker and it's The Breakfast Club. My pleasure. Really nice hanging out with you guys. You're lovely to speak with, really. All right. Well, thank you so much. It's Barbara Corker and it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning.

You get donkey of the day. You get donkey of the day. You get donkey of the day. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man.

They wait for Charlamagne to tap these gloves. Let's go. You have to make a judgment of who is going to be on the Donkey of the Day. They chose you. To the breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Donkey of the Day goes to police officers at the Louisville Metro Police Department in Kentucky. Their names are Jonathan Mattingly,

Brett Hankinson, and Miles Cosgrove, okay? According to NBC News, they were identified by the police department as the officers who are currently under investigation for shooting and killing Breonna Taylor, okay? Because they were looking for a suspect at the wrong home. I repeat, they were looking for a suspect at the wrong home. Another day, another black life is taken at the hands of the police.

Now, if you haven't heard the story, Breonna Taylor, a 27-year-old EMT worker, an essential worker, okay, died on March 13th after police officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department executed a search warrant at the wrong damn house. Let's go to WHAS ABC 11 News for the report, please. Taylor's mother says that the 26-year-old and her boyfriend were never involved in drug activity. She was an EMT preparing to confront the coronavirus, working for both Jewish and Norton hospitals. Unnecessary search warrant. She did not have to die. Civil rights attorney Ben Crump represented high-profile cases like Trayvon Martin and most recently Ahmed Arbery.

This was a botched investigation that ended up with an innocent young woman killed. A lawsuit says the three detectives were searching for Jamarcus Glover, who was detained that morning. They did not check to see if he was already in custody before they went

in here shooting over 22 times. After Taylor was killed, LMPD held a briefing later that day. The detectives are a part of the criminal interdiction division and were not wearing body cameras. Officers knocked on the door several times and announced their presence as police who were there with a search warrant. Taylor's attorney disputes that, claiming police never identified themselves. The lawsuit says Walker, a registered gun owner, shot Eddie Sargent in self-defense. He was arrested and charged with attempted murder of a police officer.

All three of the officers were placed on administrative reassignment. Now, I was looking at this thing, man. Breonna Taylor was an award-winning EMT and model citizen. Okay, she loved her family and community. She worked at two hospitals as an essential worker during the pandemic. I saw that posted on Instagram, and she's dead now because police in Louisville, Kentucky, failed to measure twice in order to cut once. Now, let me tell you something. You know how we say things like the most valuable thing you can make is a mistake. You can't learn anything from being perfect or making mistakes is a lot better than not doing anything, or mistakes are proof that you're trying. None of those quotes

apply to this mistake, all right? Not one. See, the mistake in this situation shows that the officers in Louisville, they weren't even trying at all, not even a little bit. When you are executing a search warrant, you don't have the luxury of learning from your mistakes because you shouldn't be making an error to begin with, okay? Some people in some professions don't have the luxury of learning from your mistakes because you shouldn't be making an error to begin with. Okay. Some people in some professions don't have the privilege of being that irresponsible because being irresponsible can truly be a matter of life or death. It can be some life altering situations. Okay. And all these offices get is placed on administrative reassignment. Huh? Speaking of reassignment, do you remember that story that happened back in the day when a 67 year old man went into surgery for bladder cancer but when he

woke up he discovered doctors that amputated his penis and the doctors never even told him that this was a possibility before the surgery you know what that's called malpractice you know what police officers did in louisville kentucky malpractice okay to add insult to injury you arrest her boyfriend kenneth Kenneth Walker for assault and attempted murder on a police officer. Now, this brother, Kenneth Walker, he had a license to carry and kept firearms in the home for protection, as we all

should. 2A all day. Now officers are saying they knocked on the door and announced themselves, but the lawsuit says they entered Taylor's home without docking and without announcing themselves as police officers. Yo, I don't know what happened. All I know is Walker did what any person should do in that situation. You hear somebody breaking into your house,

waking up in the middle of the night, and you got your legal firearm, you get to bussing, okay? These officers were in plain clothes. They pulled up in unmarked cars. How is this brother Kenneth supposed to know what's going on? Kenneth had zero, listen to me, zero criminal history for drugs or violence. No drugs were found in the home. He's not part of that lifestyle. So when he hears somebody breaking

in his house, all he's thinking is protect, protect, protect. And I feel him. Okay. Kenneth Walker didn't make a mistake. The police in Louisville, Kentucky did. Okay. You know who should have charges brought against them? The police in Louisville, Kentucky. Like what are we doing in America? These officers executed a search warrant on the wrong house. From that moment on, it's their fault. Period. A woman is dead, and all they have to offer literally is a statement saying, due to an ongoing internal investigation into the situation, we are not able to comment at this time. Damn. I can't even get a my bad, condolences to the family, nothing. I can even play white

devil's advocate in a situation like this and say, if they didn't know they were in the wrong house and, you know, gunfire started, I can see why they, you know, reacted the way that they did. But that logic goes out the window simply because they were in the wrong house. This is their fault, period. Now we have to ask ourselves the question, who polices the police? Breonna Taylor is dead. Kenneth Walker is facing charges of trying to kill a cop.

Their lives will be changed forever. Meanwhile, these cops get what? Who's going to make sure justice is served for the regular everyday people who pay those cops salaries with tax dollars? Louisville Mayor Greg Fisher said in a statement Tuesday that he was monitoring the case and talked to the police department's chief

to ensure a thorough investigation. Yeah, right. The same police department who chief to ensure a thorough investigation. Yeah, right. The same police department who can't even execute a search warrant properly is going to give a thorough investigation? If it was anything thorough about this police department, Breonna Taylor wouldn't be dead today because you officers would have done your due diligence before you ran up in the wrong house, okay?

Condolences to the family of Breonna Taylor. Kenneth Walker needs his charges dropped immediately, and Jonathan Mattingly, Brett Hankinson, and Miles Cosgrove should be fired and charged with second-degree murder. Period. Nothing else to talk about here, folks. Please let

Remy Ma give those three officers from the Louisville Metro Police Department the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw! Hee-haw! You stupid mother******, you dumb hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother are you dumb? Totally agree. Absolutely. And whatever happens to those officers is not enough because Breonna Taylor is dead.

This is an essential worker who worked at two different hospitals during the global pandemic saving our lives and you just took hers because you made a goddamn mistake. You executed a search warrant on the wrong house? Come on, man. Man, that is so sad.

Alright, well, that's f'ed up, bro. Alright, well, thank you for that. That's a hard story to even have to listen to. To even talk about, to even listen to, absolutely. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Need relationship advice?

Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Ye. Eat the bread. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye.

And let's go to the line. We got Jamie on the line. Jamie, good morning. Hey, Envy. How's it going? Good morning. We got Jamie on the line. Jamie, good morning. Hey, MB. How's it going? Guys, good morning. What's up, bro? Good morning, Jamie.

Hey, just wanted to say I love your show, guys. I've been listening to you guys for a long, long time. And you guys are doing good in this situation. I got to applaud you guys on that. Thank you so much, bro. Thank you. What's your question for Yee? Yeah, my question is, well, I'm in a lot of debt right now

and over the holidays and our anniversary with my wife, I went on and got her pretty expensive gifts and well, now it's catching up to me mentally, you know what I mean? I'm not really

good when it comes to mental stress and I just want to come clean to my wife about it and my wife could she has a mouth on it. Like she could get on me if I mess up and she's not wrong for that, you know. I'm the one to blame

on it. And I just want to know what's the best idea or advice to go with that. So when you say some credit card debt, like how much? Well, it's a lot. It's probably like $8,000 or something like that. But it's something that I already had. I just added more to it, you know?

Okay. So, first of all, the one thing you have to do, and I know you said that she has a mouth on her and you know it's going to be an issue, it's going to be some drama, is when we make mistakes like this and we know that we have some things that we need to work on, we have to own that, right? So it's important for you to acknowledge the fact that you've gotten yourself into this situation, right? Now, do you have a plan of action on what you plan to do to work towards fixing this? Because, you know, I think it's great when we can communicate when there's issues, but are we also coming up with solutions? Yeah, well, I was thinking, well, I get

paid every week, so in my head I was thinking, you know, this Friday I'm just going to come clean to her about what's going on, because I mean, I'm already losing, I lost like 20 pounds, and I'm doing great with everything, it's just the mental stresses. I've never been good with that.

So I just need that to be completely healthy. And I was thinking, what if I just give her like pretty much my entire paycheck? She manages that. And I just keep myself a little bit money so I could pay for gas because I do driving for work, you know. So I don't know if you guys have any other advice. Well, it feels to me like obviously your wife loves you, right? That's why she's with you

and she's there for better or for worse. And so that's something you got to keep in mind too, but you're right. This is something that is very stressful for you so you need to let her know what it is that's going on. You guys need to come up with the solutions on how you're going to handle this as a couple and you need to let her know what it is that's going on. You guys need to come up with the solutions and how you're going to handle this as a couple. And you need to take ownership of the fact that you put yourself in a situation where you got yourself into this debt, but debt can be

manageable. And so $8,000 is not something that I feel like you can't handle if you just make a plan. And so I think it's important for you to sit down. I actually do this credit chronicles, and we're actually following a couple right now. And you can look on the Breakfast Club YouTube page and you can see that there. But we're actually following a couple who have debt and their debt is way crazier than yours. It's because of student loans. It's a debt that the man had. And when they got married, she had to take on his debt also.

And she didn't have any debt at all. So this is something that I think you guys have to work together as a couple to get through and figure out how can we make ourselves stronger after this. And if that means that you have to look at your spending habits, why are you spending this money? Obviously, you know, you love your wife. You wanted to buy her something nice, but maybe financially you weren't in the position to do that. And now you're stressed out because the bills are adding up, right? Yeah. And you got to think about what's important to her.

And it might be more important to her to not have those stresses because now this is something that you've lost 20 pounds. It's hard for you to communicate with your wife. So these are things that you guys have to talk about because usually when we spend like that, it comes from another place. You're going to let her know what it is. And you guys are going to solve this issue together and sit down and figure out how to come up with the budget. What is, you know, moving forward? How do you make sure that you don't put yourself in a worse position? But I think that this is something you definitely can manage and definitely come out stronger as a couple after. So just focus on that. The positive is that you guys have each other during this time. You're still making money and you have a plan of action. Yeah, that sounds good. Thank you guys so each other during this time. You're still making money, and you have a plan of action. Yeah, that sounds good.

Thank you guys so much, man. That really helped. What credit card was it? What credit card company did you use? It was American Eagle. I had JCPenney, Walmart, all those MasterCards and stuff. So you pretty much used it everywhere. You know, if you call the card companies now,

a lot of them are deferring payments and allowing you to put things on hold for a little bit. So you can use that to definitely catch up a little bit. But I would definitely call every credit card company and tell them what's going on, especially with the coronavirus thing. And most card companies are being very lenient and helping people out.

That sounds great, guys. Thank you so much, man. God bless you and your family. Be safe. All right, bro. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, call Yee now.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee.

We got Mona on the line. Mona, good morning. Oh, I'm sorry. Hold on one second. Hey, Mona, you at work? No, I'm on my way to work. Okay, so before we get started, where do you work, Mona? I work at a doctor's office in Dearborn, Michigan.

Okay. Okay. All right, so what's going on with Ask Yee? So basically I've been working at this job for six years. I started off as an MA and now I'm office manager. I'm the only black person and I'm also the youngest person. And I deal with racism quite often. I had a coworker who said that she didn't know that the N-word was considered racist.

When they buy lunch without asking me what I want, they always buy me fried chicken. I don't even really eat fried chicken. Just comments like, I know you like rap and I don't even care for rap. Just a lot of things like that. And I'm at a point where I'm really getting tired of it and I don't know how to handle it. First of all, y'all need some diversity in that office, right? And that is something that they need to take seriously because a lot of places are having to make sure

that they even have people who work as far as helping create diversity in office environments because as you can see, when you don't have diversity, people think that black people are monolithic. Yeah, even though I'm the youngest person and also the office manager, so I don't know diversity, people think that black people are monolithic. Yeah, even though I'm the youngest person and also the office manager. So I don't know how they would think that. Now, how do you respond when these things happen? Do you point it out and say, just so you know, just because I'm black doesn't mean I like fried chicken.

Or just because I'm black doesn't mean I listen to rap music all day. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't. It depends on how angry I am. Like when she made the comment about the N-word, she didn't know it was offensive. I basically educated herself and heard that the N-word was created way back in slavery. And there was always to identify black people as being like inferior and that that word never have been okay. Like common sense. I actually use the word common sense.

And was that beneficial when you had that conversation? I'm just curious. Not really. You know what? I'm a big fan at work when things... What is that noise? What is that noise? Hello? I'm a big fan when things are going on at work like that to leave a paper trail. And what that means is when these incidents do happen, I would make sure that I document them.

As far as sending an email out to whoever the supervisor is or whoever it is that you need to send that email to so that you have all of that documented because that way it makes people think twice about what they're doing and it makes people take things seriously. And I would also request that we bring in somebody to do some diversity training and say, look, this is a very environment where I'm the only black person. I'm the youngest person here. And I feel like this is not representative of the people who we serve in the community. And I would put that in an email as well. But I think it's important for you to document when these things happen and to educate people, which it sucks because I wouldn't want that to have to be my job. But this is also laying down a foundation for your corporation to be even more diverse in the future.

And if that means recruiting people, other black people to come and other people of color to come and work in that office, then that's what they need to do. They need to take steps towards doing those things, right? I would think so. Because I'm personally like, I'm at a point where it's starting to turn into anger. At first it was just like, oh, those are just my

ignorant coworkers. But now it's starting to like really bother me because some stuff is just common sense. Have you spoken to a supervisor? Well, I'm the manager and it's a private practice, so I am the supervisor. And then I've talked to

the actual doctor before and he hasn't really done much about it. Well, girl, it's time for you to flex your authority as the office manager, and maybe you need to take the initiative to bring in more people, more diverse staff,

but also maybe it's time for you to call a meeting with everybody and be like, let's set some ground rules down here and let's go over anything and put all these things on the table and make it mandatory for people to come. I can agree with that. I can do that.

All right. I'll be very curious to hear how this turns out. I've been bothered since this whole conversation started. I'm judging you for not liking fried chicken and rap music. Like, what the hell is wrong with you? No, listen. I like chicken. I like chicken.

Just not fried. She like a grill. I like rap, but I also like country. I also like R&B. I also like punk rock. I like rap, but I also like country. I also like R&B. I also like punk rock. I like different things. And the problem is not that I like rap music. The problem is you don't know anything about me or my personal life to preconceive that I like those type of things.

You don't want them stereotyping you is what you're saying. Right. Exactly. Don't just like basically look at me and say, oh, you're black. This is who you are. No, I'm black. Get us some Popeyes. That's not, that doesn't signify my personality traits.

Okay. All I'm simply saying is don't let, don't, don't, don't miss out on the beauty of Popeyes. Okay. Just because you care about what other people think of you. All right. Somebody bring you a Popeyes chicken sandwich. You appreciate it.

I get it. I'm tired of them buying me chicken. I'm tired of them buying me chicken. I don't even order chicken. I order burgers. I order fries. She's like, I might tired of them buying me chicken. I'm tired of them buying me chicken. I don't even order chicken. I order burgers. I order fries. She's like, I might want a salad. My goodness.

I eat salad. I've never ordered chicken I once worked in here. Let me ask you a question. I bet you every time you get a salad, you put grilled chicken in it. I do. Exactly. It's not fried. What's your favorite country song, Mama?

What's your favorite country song? My favorite country song? I mean, I'm kind of like a fake country artist. I look like Taylor Swift. I consider her country. Okay, she's pop now. But, Mona, I will say this, though. You are the manager, so I think for you,

you have the power and the authority. Don't feel like you don't have the power and authority to make sure that you make certain things happen in that office. Okay. Thank you, Mama. Good luck. I want her to flex her authority up in there. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need advice, relationship advice,

I'm having a hard time breaking it to my new partner that I had to do gay porn once upon a time in my life. And I'm not happy about that chapter. But I just wanted to know, Angela Yee, how do I break this to my new partner? I'm just curious. What was the name of the porn? Go ahead, Envy. Envy about the Google. Envy about that Google. I'm just curious, what was the name of the porn? Go ahead, Envy. Envy about that Google.

Envy about that Google. I'm just joking. I just wanted to know the names. Is it Bang Me Twice? I don't know. I just wanted to know the names of it. That's very unoriginal. Bang Me Twice. It's called Private Society. And it's their

Bizarre Gay Porn Edition. You should have had an origin called the Two and a Half Men. Well, what kind of stuff were you doing? I did have to spread my butt cheeks. It's Mike Honcho. Yeah, exactly. That's how it sounded. That Owen Honcho was huge.

Let me ask you this. Why did you have to do gay porn though? I'm just curious Does it pay more? Yeah, you got it You're right on the head It pays a little bit extra Hit it right on the head

Would be a good name for a porn by the way So, are you gay? Well, no It was just a very hard time in my life So I was on cocaine A whole bunch of pills, and a whole bunch of Quaaludes. Okay.

You know, yeah. So that was part of my life. But it was not a rejoicing moment. Right now it's great. I got a new work girl, and I don't have to scrub my butt. She's like my honcho anymore. Well, listen, I feel like you're going to have to have that conversation just like you had it with us. Cause one thing you do have to do is be honest, right? And then that person has

a right to say, okay, I'm not sure this is, you're the person that I want to be with. Or maybe they'll say, you know what? We've all gone through things in our past that we're not proud of that have brought us to the point where we are today. And can accept you for who you are but I think it is important for you to let her know. How long have y'all been together? Yeah I was thinking but then what if I lose her because then that might resort me again spreading my butt cheeks

as my hunch. You know what though? You could either lose her now or lose her later right? She's probably going to break up with you because it's.0 boring. If all you're doing is spreading your butt cheeks, that's a boring.0, bro. That's all you could do? Well, I mean, you would want to look him up, buddy. I can email you.

Nah, I'm cool. In case he falls on some hard times as well. That's true, Charlamagne. That could be a good name for a.02, falling on hard times, about a man who had to suck the.0 to get his way to the top. Aren't your kids around you, bro? Okay, honcho. No, I'm in the basement. But yes, definitely

please let your girlfriend know. I don't know if you watch Love is Blind, but Carlton, who is sexually fluid, he waited until they were engaged to let his fiancé know that he has been with men before, and that is definitely something that you have to be honest about. Was he able to keep his girl? No, it did not

work out. Oh, no, Anjali, I'm going to keep this to myself. You got a very distinct voice. You know, at some point she will find out though. Whatever comes to the dark does come to the light, that's what they say. But on this one, I think I'm going to admit the truth. That's another good part.

I mean, yeah, because it's a gay porn. You're on video. People can eventually see you. They will stumble across you. I mean, yeah, because it's a gay porn. Like, you're on, like, video. People can eventually see you. They will stumble across you. And that's something that people around you might hold over your head when they see her and be like, you know, I'm going to tell her, have you told her yet? Have you told her yet? That's something that you'll always be thinking about. What if she finds out?

You know, it's just something that can be very stressful. I wore a satin mask, but maybe they see my tattoos now, and that's the only thing I'm worried about. Tattoos might get in the way, bro. How much did you make? $69. Well, no, I'm actually sure I made about $2,500, buddy.

And I've done five scenes, so just throwing it out there. Okay, five scenes, $2,500. K-Point's the way to go. It would be dope to see two men. Imagine you get two men and you get like a little person and you name the point on two and a half men. That'd be dope. That would be funny.

Then I might be my honcho again. Maybe you got a future in K-Porn, bro. How much did they have to lube you up, bro? Wow, Envy. Envy sounds like he's considering buying another property and he needs an investment. Well, I got an email for you guys.

Nah, I'm good. Thank you so much for checking in, bro. Good luck, man. Envy's like, hold on the line, though. I wonder if Bang Bros does gay porn because their name is like so gay porn friendly. Bang Bros, you know what I'm saying? For the bros that like to bang

each other. Well, I might highly recommend the movie Guys Who Like To Suck If Anybody's Home Bored. Nah, that's too forward. Where are we going this morning? Alright, see the coronavirus got everybody just bugging. Calm down. We can't say these words on air, guys. I don't know if you know. Okay. I'm not on

air. I'm at the house. Oh, my goodness. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, call Yee about anything. As you see the answer. Really? Anything.

Anything. Anything. All right. We got more coming up next. We're The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about a statement that Diddy made yesterday. And can we play a statement? Black voting is not going to be for free. You know, what are we getting in return for our vote? Nothing has changed for black America. And in order for us to vote for Biden, we can't be taken for granted like we always are because we're supposed to be Democrats or because people are afraid of Trump. It's whoever's going to take care of our community, whoever wants to make a deal. It's business at this point.

I will hold the vote hostage if I have to. First of all, I want to say what Diddy said in that video is what I've been on for the past year. That's why every presidential candidate that came to the Breakfast Club, I asked them, do they have a specific black agenda? Because I made up my mind a long time ago that I was going to vote my interests and my interests are black people. You know what I'm saying? I'm not voting for individuals. And to me, the concept is simple. It's when you do business, when you do deals, you go into negotiate the terms of what you want. That's how we need to start treating Democrats. If not, black people will be voting out of fear for the rest of their lives.

And if you're being honest with yourself, conditions of black people have been the same in America for decades regardless of who the president is and we will not make any real systemic change in our communities until we change our approach to politics. I don't think it's too much to ask of a candidate like Joe Biden who owes his political life to

black people to meet some demands for black people. Now, what do you think, E? What I really pay attention to is who are you putting around you and surround, who are you putting in office around you? I think that's what I find to be extremely important. I would never say I'm holding my vote hostage. What I would say is that these are the demands that I want met. These are the people I want to see in position. And I would want to make sure that those things get done. Now, I will say this. I mean, for too many years, I think, I don't want to say we've been raised,

but I feel like we've been conditioned that if they're Democrat, we automatically just vote. Absolutely. Instead of really asking for something. That's it. Like I said, I don't necessarily think that he cares about our people. I honestly don't think that. He hasn't stood up and said what he does now.

It's all cooler to accept these things because he knows he has to, but does he really care when he gets into office? Is he really going to implement these plans? I don't know, but a lot of people feel like they have to do whatever it takes to get Trump out. But it's a campaign, right? So during the campaign, you make a lot of promises. Make us

some promises, Mother Effa. Simple as that. Black people give Democrats almost 90% of their votes in all elections, and we don't ever ask for anything in return. Let's go to one line. Hello, who's this? Hey, Victor, Victor, how you doing? Good morning. Hey, Victor, good morning. We're talking, what was the statement that Diddy said? What are your thoughts? Yeah, to be

honest, I'm with Charlemagne in the way of holding back the vote hot seats. That doesn't mean that they're not voting for him, but what are you going to do for me, though? Simple. Just because I don't like the other dude, that doesn't mean that they're not voting for him. But what are you going to do for me, though? Simple. Just because I don't like the other dude, that doesn't mean that I'm going to vote for you automatically.

What are you going to do for me? That's the bottom line, man. Simple. Now, let me ask you a question. If he says I'm not going to give you nothing, now, what happens in November? Let's just say he does. Okay, now, let me ask you something, then.

Why should I give him if he's not giving anything back? We're stuck in the same boat. If Joe Biden came out and said, I'm not giving black people nothing, I'm telling you right now, I'm not voting. If he fixes his mouth to say that... Yes! That's what... That's political suicide.

Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, Envy? It's Q from the Bronx. How's it going? What are your thoughts? I'm really disappointed in you, man. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, Envy? It's Q from the Bronx. How's it going? Q. Hey, Q! What are your thoughts? I'm really disappointed in you, man. I'm really disappointed in you.

Why are you disappointed in me, brother? Joe Biden has done nothing to earn the black vote. He was one of the main creators of the 1994 crime bill. And 86 crack laws. That put behind bars so many black men. So I actually, I don't like that he, but I agree with him. Right. I feel like any candidate has to have something for me in my community. And Joe Biden has been dodging the breakfast club to even come up here and talk.

Andy, I want us to stop. Oh, go ahead. Donald Trump came with a plan to show, you know what? Black people have been abused for this amount of time. This is what we're going to give them. We're going to reform this. We're going to influx with these stimulus packages into our inner city communities. I'm going with Donald Trump.

I don't know about all that. I don't know about all that. That's next level. Listen, we can't throw stuff. Appreciate your call. See, people hearing sound bites. So you can't say things like't throw stuff. Appreciate your call. See, people hearing soundbites, so you can't say things like I would just vote

for Donald Trump. He said he would vote for Donald Trump if Donald Trump actually put something on the table tangible for black people. But, you know,

you can break that up. But Envy, only thing I want us to stop saying is we got to stop saying Joe Biden didn't come on The Breakfast Club because people think

that we're personally attacking Joe Biden because he didn't come on The Breakfast Club. I want Joe Biden to have these three things on his table in order for me to feel comfortable voting for him. Number one is a black agenda.

Number two is a black woman running me. Number three, he already said he put a black woman on the Supreme court. I want him to commit to those things for me to feel really, really comfortable going out to vote for him in November. Hello. Who's this? This blue.

Hey guys, I wanted to say thank you for taking my phone call, but I want to say, I understand what Diddy is saying as far as he wanted a black agenda. But this is not the time for that. Oh, my God. Let him talk. Hold on.

Hold on. Let me talk, Charlemagne. He's been rolling back human rights as far as he want to nominate another Supreme Court justice. That's going to take away women's rights. He's rolling back HUDs or programs. He's trying to take away people's voting rights. Like, I definitely want a black agenda, but, man, we got to get out there and vote and get this guy out of here or we're going to lose more than what we even had before he came in.

I feel you, but, man, it feels like every single election black people are forced to vote out of fear. Every single election black people are choosing between the lesser of two evils. But I just hate to see how united the Republicans always are and how divided the Democrats always are. Well, you know why? Because Republicans fall in line, Democrats fall in love. You know what I'm saying? We have to love the individual.

Republicans love their interests. And that's all we need to start doing. All right. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, to start doing. All right. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Hey. Now, it's time for the positive note. Listen, man, the positive note is simply this. You know, if you got my new book, Shook One Anxiety, playing tricks on me, then you know I like to talk about positive affirmations a lot. I feel like positive affirmations keep you in a mentally healthy space. So I just want to tell you today to tell yourself talk about positive affirmations a lot. I feel like positive affirmations keep you in a mentally healthy space. So I just want to tell you today to tell yourself a few positive affirmations like,

today will be a good day. Everything will be okay. I am in control of my life and feelings. I have people that love me. I have a lot to be grateful for. Tomorrow will be better if you're having a bad day today. And everything you need is within you. Say that to yourself.

Everything I need is within me. Breakfast club, bitches. Y'all finished or y'all done? Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.
