I was in New Orleans this weekend and I was meeting with the supermarket chain. Rouse is about my press juices, drink fresh juice and my coffee. Coffee uplifts people to get my products in stores. So that's exciting. OK, congratulations on that. They have over 60 supermarkets. Coffee is like legal cocaine. People that love caffeine really, really, really, really, really love caffeine.

And they're listening to me right now. And they don't even want to hear my voice until they can get the shot, you know, of that brown powder. Yeah. But coffee has a lot of health benefits. Really? Yeah. And the caffeine in coffee is natural. You know, caffeine comes from the plants, the coffee beans.

They actually make caffeine to help prevent the insects from attacking them. So it's like a force field around them. And that's what creates the caffeine. I had no idea. What are the health benefits of coffee? Because every time I drink coffee, I just get the runs. Yeah, well, actually, it's very good for that, for your digestive system. Oh, so that's a good thing.

That's a great thing. And it's natural. And it improves your energy levels. And they said it helps you burn fat. It can also, the caffeine can improve your physical performance. And there's also essential nutrients in coffee. All of those things, it can lower your risk of type 2 diabetes. But the thing is that it's what people

put in coffee sometimes that can be harmful. So the sugar. Okay. Wow. Angelina is really in the coffee business because I didn't know there was any health benefits. I just thought people would drink coffee because they wanted to wake up in the morning. It can lower your risk of some types of cancer. So the best thing

you can do is have black coffee. But I add almond milk to mine, which is not so bad either. Okay. Well, drop on a clues box for all the coffee drinkers out there. Okay. And it was started in Ethiopia.

So it's our thing. Okay. Whatever you got to do to, you know, get up in the morning. This is as long as you're drinking your coffee and listening to us. Morning guys. Morning.

Hey, good morning. We got, we got something that's like coffee coming in this morning. That's right. It may not have the health benefits of coffee, but boy, it's going to wake your ass up. That's right. Dr. Umar Johnson will be joining us this

morning. Well, how did that go? Dr. Umar Johnson has been here, this will be his fifth time on the Breakfast Club. Was he here for any of them? I don't recall. I don't think so. I was there one and a half times. Once I was there and then another time I had to leave halfway through to catch a flight. Yeah.

Yeah. So for all you people who don't drink coffee but you need a little pick me up-er this morning. Dr. Umar Johnson will definitely do that for you this morning. Goodness gracious. A pick me up-er, a put me down-er, something. And that conversation just wouldn't end. We were on the, it was like what? Damn near an hour and a half?

Nah, it wasn't that long. How many times did you try to wrap it up? Mad times. An hour and 17 minutes and I think Charlamagne and I asked maybe three questions. Maybe four. Dr. Umar Johnson, all you gotta do is just put him in front of a microphone and let him go. You just gotta steer him in the right direction. That's all. There you go. What you want?

What you want to talk about police brutality? Let's discuss it. You want to talk about inter about police brutality? Let's discuss it. Yeah. You want to talk about interracial relationships? Oh, let's discuss it. And why his business, why he doesn't believe in them, but it's about business and not bigotry. We'll talk about it. All right. I wouldn't be here without an interracial relationship. Well, you should have been here to defend yourself.

No, maybe not. That's the one thing I said. Well, that's the reason why he's probably not here today. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking front page news what we talking about well Chicago police say they've arrested the man in connection to the murder of Jazlyn Adams the seven-year-old girl who was fatally shot while at McDonald's drive-thru all right we'll get to that next it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's DJ Envy Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha God we are Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news.

You all right over there, Thomas? The computer just had to go. Don't blame it on the computer. Bro, hit the button and it showed up. Move your hands faster. All right. Where we starting, Yee? Well, CDC data is showing that more Americans are missing their second dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

So people went in and got their first one. But they said up to 8% of people did not go ahead and get their second one. But part of that could be because of how things are being reported, right? Like you might go to one place, to one entity to get that first dose. And then if you go to a different place, like a mass vaccination site or a retail pharmacy and other vaccination efforts, they might not be linked in. So they might not know that after you got that first one, you did get that second one. And people are scared, you know what I'm saying?

Because, you know, around the way, you hear people saying that they had bad reactions to the second shot. Yeah, I definitely did. And it said that the first shot gives you 85% efficiency rate. So they said a lot of people just don't want to come back for the second shot. They're like, I'll take the 85%, but I don't want to get sick. So they're just not coming back. Because when you're black, all I got to hear is, you know, one person that I know getting the balls palsy, bells palsy, whatever it is. Bells palsy.

Another person saying that they had a reaction and went into a coma. It's just like, huh? Okay. Well, the FDA and the CDC have also lifted the pause on that Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. So it has been approved for use once again. And all of this is after now they're saying is a total of 15 women who had blood clots from it. You can't lift the pause on Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson is always going to be a pause in certain circles,

especially in Harlem, okay? Right? It is what it is. Yeah, so what they are saying that is with these 15 women, now what they're doing is giving you that warning. So the risk they said in the benefit of the vaccine shows that they're preventing tremendous disease. But you need to be cognitive of the fact that you could potentially get a rare blood clotting disorder. And it's 15 women. So basically, it's on you. It's like people who smoke cigarettes. You know, you're going to give you the warning to tell you that it causes cancer.

So we're telling you that it causes blood clotsots but it's on you if you want to take it yeah like all those commercials where you see side effects may include and then there's 30 things listed we never read that fine print by the way yeah I can guarantee you that's going to make people not want to do that because there's such a risk involved with it

alright now a man has been charged in connection to a 7 year old girl's murder in the McDonald's drive through and this was a horrifying story for us to hear but Chicago Right now, a man has been charged in connection to a seven-year-old girl's murder in the McDonald's drive-thru. And this was a horrifying story for us to hear. But Chicago police say they have arrested 18-year-old Marion Lewis. And he's the person who's been arrested in connection to the murder of Jasmine Adams. She was with her father waiting in line at the McDonald's drive-thru. And according to the Chicago Police Department, they told reporters that he was involved in that shooting,

but did not say that he was the one who pulled the trigger. They said everything appears to be gang-related and that there are still two other suspects that remain at large. They said, you can run, but you cannot hide. We are going to bring you to justice for this crime. The Adams family deserves nothing less. According to authorities, they found two weapons in his vehicle, including an AK-47, and they did confirm those weapons were connected to Jasmine's murder. That young man will be telling on the other two suspects this week and rightfully so, because I don't even know how you could remotely sleep.

I don't know how you can sleep when you kill anybody, but remotely when you kill a seven year old girl. Well, the two other suspects have been identified by the police, but they have not been charged. They said that we don't know immediately now if either suspect was in custody yet. Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Wow. So he's being held without bond on a charge of murder and 18 other charges, including three accounts of attempted murder and aggravated assault of a police officer. And I did a little research and I saw what they went through to actually get him. And it was like a definitely a high speed car chase situation.

Well, there's some people like that. You got to take off the street. And the reason you got to take them off the street, because if they would do something like that to a seven year old girl, what'd you think they're going to do to you or somebody that you love? You know, did they say they knew the seven year old was,

was in the car or they just didn't care? They probably didn't care. Yeah. We don't know about that. I mean, what happened was the two guys that were the ones who, he was the driver, right, that they captured. The two other guys were the ones who got out of the car

because they have footage and started shooting in the car. They actually hit the father in his torso. And so he's in the hospital. And then they shot and killed the young seven-year-old Jazlyn Adams. And by the way, I mean, you know, if you let off at a McDonald's drive-thru, it's not like you give a damn about who's in whatever car. You know what I mean?

McDonald's? Yeah. They found him by his Facebook page, and then he got in the car. It was an Audi, so they had identified his car, and it was like a high-speed car chase. And, you know, he got out, and then he tried to carjack other people. There was like a family in the car with two kids in the back that couldn't get out of the car seats

and he shot through the glass window trying to get the car. Goodness gracious. Yikes. Well, that is your front page news. Alright, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. Phone lines are wide open.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is Trex from Jersey.

Hey, what's up, bro? Get it off your chest. All right, so look, last month this guy called up, said he was disabled and he was trying to get a house, and you told him that he could. I'm kind of dealing with a similar situation, and I was hoping you could pass the plug. What are you trying to do? I'm trying to buy a house, but right now I'm on SSI, so I don't get a lot of money. Okay, where are you from?

I'm from New Jersey. New Jersey. How much do you have in savings, if any? In savings, I basically have my stimulus. Have what? I basically have New Jersey. New Jersey. How much do you have in savings, if any? In savings, I basically have my stimulus. Have what? I basically have my stimulus. A stimulus check. Like a little bit extra.

Okay. All right. So you have about, what, $1,400 in savings, and you're trying to purchase a home. I'm trying to, but I didn't know much about FHA. Do you have any income coming in? Yeah, I got my own Social Security. Okay. All right.

Well, I will plug you with this lender. His name is Matt. He deals with FHA, and he could probably guide you to sometimes they give him grants to people to help people with their down payments. A lot of that is tightening up right now because there's a lot of money that's not there anymore. But if you hold on, I'll put you on to Matt. He helps a lot of people get FHA loans and grants and tries to help people out.

He just helped a couple over the weekend. I did a seminar on Orlando and he was able to get them something. So hopefully he can help you out, brother. I really appreciate that.

Hold on a minute, all right? Yo, Charlamagne, don't you change. I, um, okay. How much they call you gay? Don't you change. Okay. I went left.

All right. I don't care how much they call you gay, but don't you change. Hello, who's this? Good morning, MV. Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning, Angela. What's going on? Rick, what up, King?

Good morning. What's going on, yo? How you guys feeling this morning? Less black and highly favored. Likewise, my friend. Likewise. Hey, I just want to go back to that earlier subject you were talking about, that shooting. There's been 25

shootings this weekend in New York City alone. We can't talk about police reform and talk about wanting to have the cops treat us better if we out here lighting it up. Yes, we can. Why do we say stupid stuff like that? We can, but we do that.

We're giving them reasons, right? We're giving them reasons to distract us from the obvious, right? So, please, I'm just giving a disclaimer to everybody this summer. We want to be outside, but we can't be outside if y'all going to be lighting it up. We can't survive Corona to come back outside and get shot. I'm not trying to have it. You know what I'm saying? So, please. And we got to stop.

New York City. We got to stop acting like America doesn't have a gun violence problem. Well, Brooklyn got a gun violence problem. Of course they do, but America has a gun violence problem, period. I saw the guy at the Oscars talking about that last night.

So yes, you can talk about America's gun violence problem and discuss police reform at the same time. I'm talking about the gun violence problem, and I'm telling the people that have guns, that don't need to be having no guns, stop shooting the place up because we don't need it this summer. We don't need it, period. That I agree with. Chill out with the guns and chill out with the shooting,

because right now we're trying to be back outside in the summertime, and this is not it. Yeah, because I don't— We're not trying to do that this summer. We're trying to have some fun and this is not it. Yeah, because I don't... We lighten it up, but we're not trying to do that in the summer. We're trying to have some fun and make up for last summer. That's right, because I don't care if it's a seven-year-old girl in the parking lot of a McDonald's drive-thru or a mass shooting at a concert or a church or somewhere else. America got a gun violence problem. Absolutely.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy.

With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, the Oscars were last night. And, you know, it's a bit different right now with COVID restrictions. People were saying it kind of dragged on. And I saw a lot of chatter on social media about people being upset about Chadwick Boseman not winning. But let's talk about some of the people who were there last night. Regina King was the first presenter. And one of the first things she talked about was a Derek Chauvin trial. Listen to this. We are mourning the loss of so many, and I have to be

honest, if things had gone differently this past week in Minneapolis, I might have traded in my heels for marching boots. Now, I know that a lot of you people at home want to reach for your remote when you feel like Hollywood is preaching to you. But as a mother of a black son, I know the fear that so many live with and no amount of fame or fortune changes that. That's right. I don't even know why people get upset when folks have those conversations on those platforms. That's much more substantive than going up there and just thanking a bunch of people we don't

know. More what? Substantative. What I'm supposed to say. That's not the right word? I think y'all know what I'm talking about. Yeah, we got you. And now Tyler Perry was honored with the Humanitarian Award and amongst the things that he was talking about is refusing hate and how his

mom taught him that after he told the story about helping a homeless woman. Listen to this. My mother taught me to refuse hate. And in this time and with all of the Internet and social media and algorithms and everything that wants us to think a certain way, the 24 hour news cycle, it is my hope that all of us would teach our kids and not only to remember, just refuse hate. hate don't hate anybody I refuse to hate someone because they are Mexican or because they are black or white or lbgtq I refuse to hate someone because they are a police officer I refuse to hate someone because they are Asian hmm all right and her also one fight for You from the Judas and the Black Messiah soundtrack

is the song that won for that for original song. By the way, I loved her outfit. But here is what her speech sounded like. Musicians, filmmakers, I believe we have an opportunity and a responsibility to tell the truth and to write history the way that it was and how it connects us to today. Knowledge is power. Music is power. And as long as I'm standing, I'm always going to fight for us. I'm always going to fight for my people and fight for what's right. And I think that's what music does. And that's what storytelling does. OK, Oscar winner her. Mm hmm.

Just about to drop her debut album, which is so strange to me. Wait, she's dropping her debut? That's what they announced this weekend. She's dropping her debut album, which is so strange to me. Wait, she's dropping her debut? That's what they announced this weekend. She's dropping her debut album? I was like, debut? What was the first one? Maybe like a mixtape or EP or something? I don't know. I don't know nowadays. I definitely don't look at her as dropping her debut album. She got a lot of songs I love. I don't know.

Anyway, let's Daniel Kaluuya for Best Supporting Actor, and that is, of course, for Judas and the Black Messiah, and in his speech he talked about Fred Hampton. Daniel Kaluuya for best supporting actor. And that is, of course, for Judas and the Black Messiah. And in his speech, he talked about Fred Hampton. To Chairman Fred Hampton, how blessed we are that we lived in a lifetime where he existed. Do you know what I'm saying? He was on this earth for 21 years, 21 years.

And he found a way to feed kids, educate kids, give free medical care against all the odds. He showed me, he taught me. Him, Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, the Black Panther Party, they showed me how to love myself. And with that love, they overflowed it to the black community and to other communities. And they showed us that the power of union, power of unity, that when they play divide and conquer, we say unite and ascend.

Thank you so much for showing me myself. Very well deserved award. He deserved every bit of that award. You know, there was a moment that went viral where his mom looked a little bit taken aback. And here's what that moment was like. There's so much work to do, guys. And that's on everyone in this room. This ain't no single man job. That's unreal. And I look to everyone, every single one of you. You got work to do. And I'm going to get back to work Tuesday morning because tonight I'm going up. We're going up. You know what I mean? because tonight I'm going up We're going up. Yeah, man. We're enjoying ourselves. Not because we're celebrate celebrate life man. We're breathing. We're walking. It's incredible

Like it's incredible. My mom met my dad. They had sex. It's amazing. Like John said I'm here He's right. Her face was like boy if you don't stop he's right though his mom met his dad. Yeah, it's excellent He's here. Yeah, we know that's how he got here. All right. And Two Distant Strangers won an Oscar in the Best Live Action

Short Film category and that stars Joey Badass and Trayvon Free is the person who actually wrote, did he write this or direct it? He wrote it.

He wrote it. Okay, so Trayvon Free wrote it and Diddy is one of the producers. Terrence J, Van Lathan, Kevin Durant, amongst other people. And here is what Trayvon Free had to say. On average, the police in America every day kill three people, which amounts to about 1,000 people a year.

And those people happen to disproportionately be black people. And, you know, James Baldwin once said, the most despicable thing a person can be is indifferent to other people's pain. And so I just ask that you please not be indifferent. Please don't be indifferent to our pain. I thought he gave a phenomenal accepting speech. And I have no idea why nobody clapped after he said that, not even the black people. Maybe something was wrong on my TV, but I didn't hear any reaction to what he said. And I thought what he said was very, very accurate.

And if you were upset about what he said, then you haven't seen the movie Two Distant Strangers because it's a movie about police violence. You know what I'm saying? It's a really good movie. And shout out to Joey Badass. I didn't even really realize when I was watching it at first that that was him.

I don't know how you didn't realize that. I was watching it and I was like, he looks so familiar because the way he was dressed and everything. It just didn't look like Joey Badass to me, which is a great thing. Yeah, salute to my guys, Van Lathan and Nick May. They were executive producers on that film. And Terrence J.

Terrence J. Jesse Williams, Kevin Durant. Yeah, salute to Terrence J. and Diddy and all them. But I've been watching Van and Nick and Trayvon get this going from the beginning, way before anybody else was involved. So I'm extremely proud of those three brothers in particular for being Oscar winners now. All right.

Well, that is your Front Page News. I know we have more to talk about, but we'll get into it. All right. We got Front Page News next. What are we talking about? Yes. And let's talk about Derek Chauvin. Does anybody have any sympathy

for him as a human being? We'll discuss. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

All right, let's get some front page news. Where are we starting? Well, let's start with the lead prosecutor, Keith Ellison. And Derek Chauvin's murder trial did admit on 60 Minutes that when the jury came back with the guilty verdict, his reaction was that he felt gratitude. He felt humility, but he also felt a little bit bad. Listen to this. When you first heard the word guilty, you thought what?

Gratitude, humility, followed by a certain sense of, I'll say, satisfaction. It's what we were aiming for the whole time. I spent 16 years as a criminal defense lawyer. So I will admit I felt a little bad for the defendant. I think he deserved to be convicted. But he's a human being. I get what he's saying. I don't agree, but I get what he's saying. Like I like I'll give you an example. I didn't think I would feel empathy or compassion for Eric Holder, the brother who killed Nipsey. But I did when I saw him, I saw a black man who was filled with a lot of hurt, a lot of pain, a lot of trauma and hurt people, hurt people. But I don't feel that way towards Derek Chauvin at all. Not at all. Not even a little bit. I understand what he's saying a tiny bit because I have had compassion and

empathy for people I didn't think I would have it for but I don't see how you can have it for Derek Chauvin. Not at all. Nope. He did expand on what his thoughts were. Listen. Somehow I did not expect to hear from you a note of compassion for Derek Chauvin.

I'm not in any way wavering from my responsibility, but I hope we never forget that people who are defendants in our criminal justice system, that they're human beings, they're people. I mean, George Floyd was a human being. And so I'm not going to ever forget that everybody in this process is a person. Yeah, but humans make choices. You know what I'm saying? Correct. Humans make good choices and humans make bad choices. And when you make bad choices,

you got to deal with the consequences of those bad choices. So it's very hard for me to feel sorry for Derek Chauvin when he did something that evil. Yeah, no, I don't feel sorry for him. But I mean, like I said, I did find myself having compassion and empathy for the brother who killed Nipsey just because I just wouldn't want to hate somebody that much

the way I saw that brother hating it. And you know what else was interesting? There was another young man that came forward that he actually did the same thing to for nearly 17 minutes. And they have video of that, too. Did y'all see that? No. From Chauvin back in 2017.

I read the story, though. I didn't see the video. He hit avin back in 2017. I read the story though. He hit a black teenager in the head so hard the boy needed stitches. Then he held him down with his knee for nearly 17 minutes and he was ignoring complaints allegedly from the boy that he couldn't breathe. But you know Derek Chauvin has committed fatal force. He's used fatal force before. He's killed

somebody in the line of duty before. Yeah, so for reasons like that, I feel like he just wasn't feeling like there would any be be any repercussions from this so oh yeah for that i didn't feel bad for him at all but i i don't know not this okay now we're going to transition into another situation that happened authorities in virginia have released disturbing body camera video of a deputy who was shooting a black man who was holding a cordless phone and he had just received a ride home by that same law enforcement officer that is Isaiah Brown 32 he is alive he survived more than six rounds fired at him

Wednesday and he's in the hospital fighting for his life and the deputy has not been named but he was holding a house phone when he was shot what happened was Brown got home he dialed 9-1-1 because he said his brother wouldn't let him into his mother's room to retrieve his car keys and other items. He was on the phone with 911 at the time of the shooting and the officer mistook a cordless phone for a gun. And I read

somewhere where the same police officer had given him a ride. Yeah, he gave him a ride home. Yes, he had given a ride home earlier. The same officer is the person that helped him out because I guess his car had broken down. And then he was called and came over there and shot him while he was holding his cell phone.

I mean, I called his phone. This was daytime too, right? No, it was around 2.30 a.m. that he gave him a ride home. And then he said, you know, your car is broken down, so why do you need your keys? That's what the dispatcher said to him. It's just another example of how they use, you know, your car is broken down, so why do you need your keys? That's what the dispatcher said to him. It's just another example of how they use, you know,

how fatal force is the only option they use for us. And it's just simply unnecessary. It doesn't matter if it's a knife or them mistaking a gun for a phone. It doesn't matter if we unarmed, armed, handcuffed, complying, not complying, running, standing. They shoot first and ask questions later. How you just give this brother a ride home? He calls 911. You respond to the same How you just give this brother a ride home. He calls 911.

You respond to the same place you just dropped him off at and you end up killing him, shooting him, shot him 10 times. He's on the phone with the operator. Shot him 10 times. Come on, man. Stop. Yeah, and he was actually complying with putting his hands up and everything. So, all right, well, we'll keep our eye on this case as well.

And that is your front page news. All right. Now you guys are talking about coffee this morning. Oh yeah. We talking about coffee. Um, talking about everything. I was talking about the health benefits of coffee this morning.

Right. We talking about you. You need to pick me up. Just pick me up. We got one coming for you. That's right. Dr. Omar Johnson.

He'll be joining us next and we'll talk to him in a second. All right? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed?

A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of, like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids

starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand-new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop.

Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. 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. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, everybody. It's EJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. The Prince of Pan-Africanism. Absolutely. Peace and black power. Glad to be back, brother. It's the fourth time? Five.

Okay, number five. Dr. Umar, you've become one of the internet's favorite people to me, man. I love it, personally. I love it. What do you think of it? I the Internet's favorite people to me, man. I love it personally. I love it. What do you think of it? I don't know. On one hand, I appreciate the circulation of the message.

On the other hand, I think sometimes they go too far to where they're trivializing a very serious message. Talk to me. You know, so I don't want people to lose the centrality and the importance of my main message, which is the liberation of our people. Absolutely. And coming from a school psychologist perspective, the need for us to make sure we're saving our boys from that school to prison pipeline. Absolutely. And I think

sometimes that can get lost in all of the humor. So I'm not against it, but I wish it was a little bit more balanced to it. But at the same time, I can't complain because it has helped bring a lot more people to the message and it has helped me save a lot more parents. Absolutely.

Now, last time you were up here, we were talking about your school and the school that you're open. FDMG Academy. The Frederick Douglas Marcus Galvey Academy. It's a bittersweet report, brothers, because let me make it real simple so y'all can understand this. We have two schools, right? They look across the street at one another.

The Marcus Garvey building is the elementary school, and the Frederick Douglass building is much larger. It's the high school. Now, if you were focusing on the Garvey building right now, right, if you were to say, how soon can that building be ready? It can be ready in three weeks. We only have three weeks worth of repairs, three weeks worth of HVAC, three weeks worth of electric, three weeks worth of plumbing. So if, hypothetically speaking, if a black tradesman, a black HVACer said, I'm going to come volunteer. I'm going to fix the system. You have to pay for all of the materials.

But I'm going to fix the system. You have to pay for all of the materials, but I'm going to donate my time. If an electrician, if a plumber said, we're going to donate our time to fix the system, but you have to pay for all the material. The school would be up and running in three weeks. That's all we have. The problem is Charlemagne and Envy

is I haven't come across black folks who are willing to donate their time. That's one. So we have to raise enough money to pay market rate for those repairs. So the HVAC, the bills that I'm getting are ranging from $2.50 on up. The plumbing, the bills I'm getting are ranging from like $1.50 on up. You see? So we have to raise about $300,000 just to handle that, where if we had some black folk who was willing to donate their time,

the school would be up and running in three weeks i wonder if people if they change their perspective of how they look at this right like you bought the building but i would look at it like a startup we own it no mortgage yeah i would look at it like it's a startup and this is what you're in good shape yeah the schools are they're modern and not old the only thing we have to do is the plumbing the electric and the hvac we don we have to do is the plumbing, the electric, and the HVAC. We don't have to do no new construction. It's only repair. And that's why it's so frustrating for me because it's only three weeks worth of repairs. Not a month, not a year.

Three weeks worth of repairs and the school could be up and running. So if I were Mexican, the school would be done. If I were Chinese, the school would be done. If I was East Indian, if I was Arab, if I was European Jew, if I was Italian, the school would be done. If I were Chinese, the school be done. If I was East Indian, if I was Arab, if I was European Jew, if I was Italian, the school be done.

It's only because it's us that we don't take something like this as serious. So it's like raising money in another round for a startup company. Raising money in another round for like a startup company. Well, give them, tell them what they send donations, donations, donations.

Well, the donation should go to cash.me slash FDMG school. So if you're on the cash app is dollar sign FDMG school. If you're PayPal, it's PayPal.me slash FDMG Academy. Okay. So cash app is FDMG school. PayPal is FDMG Academy. They can also mail check a money order.

And that information is on my website at Dr. Umar Johnson dot com. You got you. Why do you think that, you know, you said if you were Mexican or if you were Asian, why do you think that that black people don't want to support or is not supporting? Or do you feel like, you know, you're not getting the support that you should be getting? Now, here's the point. And that's a great question.

And it's not that black people don't support other black people. We are not used to being responsible for building our own institutions. Are you following me? If I was opening up a nightclub, some sort of a summer basketball league, I would have the support. But we are not accustomed to being responsible for building our own institutions. So, for example, if you look around America, can you show me a single independent black community in 50 states? 50 states. You can't show me one black community where we own the hospital, the bank, the school and the supermarket. So those are the four essential institutions of an independent community. You don't have those four in any black town anywhere in the United States, and we are a $2 trillion people. How do you explain that? And I would say slavery, one of the psychological residuals of slavery,

it took from us that natural desire to want to control your environment and your destiny. If you notice when ethnic nationals come to America, the first thing they do is look for where are we going to build our first community? That's the first thing, because it is natural to want to control your environment. It is natural to guarantee your children their future. Black people don't do that. When we wake up, the first thing we think about is what can I buy to make myself look more important than other black people?

You see, so our whole orientation towards life is different from other groups as a result of slavery. What's your biggest issue with the public schools? My biggest issue with the public schools under the remote learning platform of COVID? I got a couple issues. Issue number one, these schools, while our children are learning at home, are still trying to get them tested for special education. If he's at home learning through a computer, of course he's not going to be as motivated. Of course he's not going to do as well because he has to learn through a computer. Children don't learn from computers.

They learn from people. If the teacher was boring in the classroom, she's going to be extra boring through the laptop. That's right. So there's a process lost there that public schools are not taking into account, Charlemagne, and as a result of that, they're sending parents letters requesting permission to evaluate your child.

Are you kidding? I'm telling parents, you don't sign that. Because even if you sign it, Charlemagne, they get evaluated. School psychologist, which is what I am, comes back and says he has a reading disability. Okay, how are you going to deliver his special ed services if he's at home. If he can't learn through the computer with a regular teacher, what is your special ed program going to offer this boy or girl that's going to rectify that? Nothing.

Nothing. So the schools are using this as an opportunity to get paid because every time you put a child in special ed, the school gets more money. So this is just a quick hustle. And I'm telling black parents, hell no. If you want to improve their academics, bring them back into the classroom.

Because guess what? As much as a lot of children did not like going to school, a lot of them are ready to go back now. They've been home too long. That's right. And even though some school districts have converted to hybrid

where they go to class two or three days a week, two or three days at home, a lot of them have not. So I'm hearing from children on the street, Dr. Umar, I'm ready to go back to school. But there's a discrepancy between white suburban public schools and black inner city public schools. They're showing that amongst the white suburban public and charter schools, 60% of them and greater are back in school. But when you look at the black inner city hood schools, 40% and lower are back in school but when you look at the black inner city hood schools

40 and lower are back in school you know why because the white teachers aren't as motivated to go back into the school and teach the black kids but they don't have a problem going back into the school to teach the white kids it's racism all right we got more with dr umar johnson when we come back don't move it's the'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 it with Dr. Umar Johnson. Charlamagne. Let's switch gears a little bit, man, because people feel like we can breathe again after the Derek Chauvin verdict.

And, you know, George Floyd's brother said justice for Floyd means freedom for us all. What do you think of that? But Floyd didn't get justice because Floyd isn't coming back from the grave. That's right. And I want everybody to pump the brakes and understand something. No laws have been changed.

No laws have been added to hold the police accountable for the unjustified murder of unarmed black people. That's right. So we are right where we were before Chauvin was convicted. And the only reason why he was convicted, to be honest with you, it had nothing to do with black justice.

Derek Chauvin was convicted for the same reason OJ Simpson was acquitted. Now, I don't know if OJ Simpson was guilty or innocent, but that's irrelevant. The reason OJ got off in 95 is because the Rodney King riots in 1992 cost Los Angeles County untold millions of dollars in damage. Do you really think they're going to let the city burn down a second time when we haven't done making the repairs

from the first riot? It's the same thing in Minnesota. Now listen, I'm not, I'm not, I don't disagree with that, but that's the same thing Fox News is saying. Fox News is, they're saying that it's because that people were protesting and some people were rioting and looting that the jury was afraid to convict Derek Chauvin. I don't like that because it takes Derek Chauvin off the hook. Well, most jurors were white. You only had four blacks.

You had two mixed race. The others was Europeans. I don't think the jurors were afraid per se, but I believe that they were very reasonable and they said to themselves, this city just burned a year ago. Countless millions of dollars in damages that had to be paid out. If we

do not convict him, it's going to burn again. And not only is Minnesota going to burn, half the cities in America are prepared for protests. And let me be clear, they were not concerned about the black protesters. The black protesters did not break the law. They were concerned of the white anarchist groups and the white militia groups who are going to operate under the cover of the black protester to destroy infrastructure and damage property.

So they were not afraid of black people protesting. They were afraid of the white anarchist groups. That's why he got convicted, because they didn't want to flip that price tag. It was not about black justice. It was white capitalism that convicted Chauvin. I don't disagree with that at all. But the only thing I push back on with that is the fact that I don't want people to think that what Derek Chauvin did wasn't wrong.

No, it was wrong. It was absolutely wrong. And here's what makes the case so pathetic. The whole world saw what happened. Indisputable. And yet everybody still was on pins and needles to see if he would be held accountable. That's right. And then you heard the judge tell him and his attorney that because of the comments that Queen Mother Representative Maxine Waters made, you may have grounds to appeal the case.

Well, first of all, he can appeal the case anyway. But why did the judge have to remind him that you have the opportunity here to appeal the case? And because he doesn't have a record under Minnesota law, Derek Chauvin could do as little as 12 and a half years and be home to enjoy the rest of his life. But here's a point I want you gentlemen to recognize. I want to go to President Biden. President Biden, your first day of office, you signed an executive order to protect the life and safety of transgenders. I have no problem with that. But you did it on your first day.

But he sat up here with you, Charlemagne, and told black people that if you don't vote for me, you ain't black. So if you went out of your way begging black people to vote for you, why haven't we got an executive order or any other activity coming out of the Oval Office from President Biden to protect black people from police. Look what he's doing with the anti-Asian hate. President Joe Biden signed an executive order that is exclusive to Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

I don't have a problem with that. But if you can protect the Asian American and Pacific Islander from violence, why can't you do the same thing for black people? They've been dealing with violence for one year as a result of COVID. That's what it's called. The COVID-19 hate crimes bill to protect Asians as a result of discriminatory treatment that they've been dealing with for how long? One year. Black people have been catching hell for 400 years and we have yet to get an executive order from Joe Biden to protect us from the police and also Charlemagne and Envy to further highlight the racism of American government. order is not for people of color it is not for minorities it is not for disadvantaged communities

guess who it's for transgender the anti-asian pacific islander hate uh executive order against hate is not for people of color it's not for minorities it's not for disadvantaged americans it is exclusively and only for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. Why am I bringing that up? Because when Barack Obama was in office, all these Negroes running around screaming for Obama, I still don't know why, said that Barack Obama can't do nothing specifically for black people because this is America. So if you have to make laws for all Americans, Charlemagne and Indy, how do you explain the fact that the Asian Americans got a law just for them?

Yesterday, the United States Senate and historic presidents passed the anti-Asian hate crimes bill at a vote of 96 to 1. And why are they catering to the Asians? You know why? Because the amount of white people in this country is shrinking. That's right. And whenever the amount of white people in America shrinks, America looks to find other white groups or other minority groups that they can build an alliance with to protect their power and their interests. Who better than the Asians? They're just as conservative politically as many middle class white Americans.

They are just as economically comfortable as many middle class white americans they are just as economically comfortable as many middle class white americans they don't like black people just as much as many middle class white americans not to mention that this can go a long way towards building relationships with asian countries on the continent of asia that america can't afford to build an alliance with russia let us be clear about something the continent of asia is a big problem for the u.s. You got three power nations on that continent. You got Russia that America can't stand. You got China that America can't control. And you got India, which is one of the fastest growing populations, and it is

quickly becoming the I.T. giant of the world. Kamala Harris is not the vice president by accident. Kamala Harris is the vice president on purpose because America needed to send the nation of India an olive branch to improve their relations because America can't afford for India to get tight with China or Russia. This is politics. And they're going to use the Asians, okay,

as probationary whites. They're going to upgrade them to probationary white status to make sure that they stay on the side of the white man and not go on the side of the black man. And don't forget about the George Floyd Policing Act. Oh, that still hasn't passed yet. Exactly. But you passing bills for everybody

else, but nothing for black people. And part of this is our fault. Because we didn't make no demands on Joe Biden before he got elected. Yeah, I do disagree. A lot of people made demands of Joe Biden, but then you had other people saying. No, no, no, no. Not people, Charlamagne. As a community.

That's hard, though, because black people aren't monolithic. We can never get on the same page. Asians aren't monolithic, but they can still organize and put a platform out. Very true. But to my point, you had people that were putting platforms out, but you had other people saying, no, we we got to get trump out don't rock the boat right now wait until biden gets in and then make demands right but the problem we made as a community is we made donald trump the scapegoat for racism just like we made barack obama the angel you understand for government we made donald trump the devil you don't do either one of those.

The U.S. government is a system. It's not a person. So when you make Donald Trump the scapegoat for all of American racism, you let the government off the hook. You don't reduce a system as powerful as this to an individual or a personality. The problem, which is what I think you're saying, so we don't disagree on this point, we are disorganized. And it is the disorganization that makes it difficult for us to put forward a unified platform. So what happens is people are self-anointing themselves as the representatives of black people. That's why I do not vote for black people who are registered as Democrats or Republicans. I only vote for independent candidates because if you are not an independent candidate, you don't have an independent program,

you are not an independent thinker, and you ain't going to bring us no independent freedom. The Democrats are a waste of time. If the Congressional Black Caucus can't make Joe Biden do anything for black people, then they need to dissolve themselves. We don't even need them anymore. They're useless. All right, we got more with Dr. Umar Johnson. 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 it with Dr. Umar Johnson. Charlamagne? Do you believe there is any policy or legislation that will stop police executions of black people? Like, you think, like, if they implement the George Floyd Policing Act, will it stop the executions of black people? I have like if they implement the George Floyd Policing Act, will it stop the execution of that act? But my suspicions are it doesn't really have any teeth in it, because when I look at the act that Nancy Pelosi introduced, the police reform bill right around the time that the George Floyd riots kicked off, it didn't have no teeth in it. Number one, it is a hate crime. These police killing us are committing hate crimes, and nobody is treating them like hate crimes.

So the first change in the legislation is that it all has to be treated as a hate crime. Second change in the legislation, the civil suit payouts come from the police officer's pension, and it comes from the police union, and it comes from the fraternal order of the police make them pay because you can't tell me that you're going to make black taxpayers pay you understand for the criminal behavior of police how am i getting a victory if i'm the one who has to pay for his mistakes uh-uh make the police pay and charge every murder as a hate crime and i guarantee you they'll think twice before they start killing black folks. In the George Floyd Policing Act, that's what they want to do.

They want to get rid of qualified immunity, because if you get rid of qualified immunity, then that's exactly what'll happen. Exactly. You need to get rid of qualified immunity and stop making police think that their lives are more important than black folks. Look at the situation with the sister who got shot the five times. Now, let's talk about that. Micaiah Bryant in Ohio.

They're claiming, and she's the one who called the police. They're claiming that the police had a right to shoot her. Even coons, Negroes are running around saying, well, she had a knife. So that justifies her being killed? Because I work in school, Charlemagne. I have seen lunchroom aides with no

police training, no bulletproof vest, no nightproof vest, no gun in their pocket. I have seen elderly black women and elderly black men take knives and other weapons out of the hands of students during lunchroom riots. So you mean to tell me that a 60, 70-year-old man can disarm a teenager in a lunchroom, but a trained armed police with a bulletproof vest can't get a knife out of the hand of a 16 year old. But yet in still you have white males who are conducting mass murders all across this country. Almost every other week, we're getting a mass murder in America. And almost every one of these fully armed, fully violent, murderous white men were apprehended

by the police without being shot and without losing their life. So explain to me how a white man with an AK-47 can be taken without a police officer firing a bullet after he had murdered six, seven, eight people, but a 16-year-old girl with a butter knife cannot be apprehended without a bullet being shot. That is nonsense. They killed her because they knew they would get away with it i'm not gonna lie i must be a cool because i don't agree with you on this one and i'm gonna tell you why i do i do agree with you those people that walk around with them assault rifles and those and those white boys that they run around that don't get shot they should get shot immediately you come out with a

gun should lay your ass down not even a a question asked. Yes. But this situation, my only thing is this. When the police pulled up, now you're talking to somebody whose father's a retired cop, right? Yes, sir. When that cop pulled up, he doesn't know friend or foe. He doesn't know who called the police, right? Okay. He does not know.

It wasn't like a sign. He asked for the police. Understood. They got a call, hey, I'm getting jumped. Somebody has a weapon. Right? Okay. Comes out that call.

He puts his hand out. First thing he says is, you see that girl running towards the other girl with the knife up. Okay. Right? Police can use deadly weapon two, two things, to defend themselves and defend another person. Okay. He fired his firearm, stopping that girl from getting shot. Now, people could say four times, five times was a lot.

That was a lot of shots. But his whole thing was to disarm that girl. And at first, I was upset. Why the f*** are they shooting that woman? But then I had to sit back and say, let's say that was my daughter sitting on the back of that car and somebody was coming at her aggressively with a knife. She wasn't defending herself.

Well, she was defending herself, though. You can't do that. They jumped her before, and they came to her house. At this point right here, I'm telling you what the cop seen. The cop didn't see the fight. The cop only seen was the girl being aggressive to the other girl. That's all he seen. So at that point, if I'm the father and that's my daughter,

I would want to make sure my daughter didn't get stabbed. And that was the only reason I said I understand why that's my daughter, I would want to make sure my daughter didn't get stabbed. Okay. And that was the only reason I said I understand why that cop did that. But she shouldn't be dead. Let me ask you a question. If you are the police. Correct. DJ Envy is the police officer.

You get out the car. You saw the exact same set of circumstances. Do you shoot her five times? Why or why not? I am not going to shoot her five times. Why? Because this is my community and I know what happens in the community i understand the fight in other words you value her life right but i'm exactly and this is gonna be a little took her life because he did not value it

right let me ask you another question envy if she was a white girl with that same knife does she get shot five times? If I'm a police officer? That white, if that, well, not you, with the white, going back to the white officer. If the girl with the knife was a white girl and that was a white neighborhood, does she get shot at all by that same cop? No, gun never even comes out. I would hope so. She's aggressive.

No, no, no. I didn't ask you what you hope. I didn't ask you what you hope. I mean, I don't know. I'm not a psychic. You know it wouldn't, Envy. Shoot a white girl with a knife, Envy. I don't know. I'm not a psychic. You know it wouldn't, Envy. Shoot a white girl with a knife, Envy. I don't know.

I'm not a psychic. Envy, you know she wouldn't. Envy, you know she wouldn't have got shot if she was white. I would hope so. If anybody is aggressively going at somebody with a knife, I would hope that they be shot. Envy, they got a video of a white guy stabbing a cop in the neck. The cop goes, oh, I'm stabbed in the neck. He pulls out his gun, chases the guy, stops

in the middle of the chase to pull out his taser to tase the white guy. Absolutely. Come on! And you said it yourself, you said they're trained where they can shoot. They're not required to shoot. In other words, police are expected

to exercise discretion like any other professional he made a decision and when you look at the video i didn't hear him say stop i didn't hear him say drop it if i'm not mistaken he did he did he did do that he did do that he did yeah he did because i didn't see it or hear it he did and he said and she said i'm gonna stab the f**k out of you. So, like I'm saying. So, why didn't they shoot her in the leg? In that case, you know, you're right, but they're not trained to do that. Like, it seems like it's a bigger than just a half percent.

If she was white, she would not have been shot at all. So, you can't blame it on the training, Envy. This was racism. I posted a video yesterday. This was racism. I posted a video yesterday of a white man. Let me ask you a question. If she didn't shoot her, and that girl would have stabbed that girl and killed that girl,

what would everybody would have said? The cop didn't do anything. I'm going to argue that it would have been impossible for her to kill the girl because the police

who are athletically fit could have engaged her in less than five seconds. He could have tackled her. He could have tased her. Hit her with rubber bullets. He would have been stabbed by that.

She was already emotionally... No, man. She knocked down one girl before she got to the girl in the pink. Cop was right there the whole time. So the cop watched her knock down one girl and then go to the next girl in the pink. He could have intervened any time. So the point that we're making is not that these situations aren't tense.

It's not that they're not dangerous. It's not that the police are not stressed out. We're saying because white people in America have historically and systemically devalued black life, it has created a context where it is justifiable to kill for police to kill black people

even when we are innocent. That's the point that we're making. Fatal force is always the option when it comes to black people. Always the option. We're talking to Dr dr umar johnson now last time you came up here you got a lot of flack over what what was it what was it over what is your opinions changed you were saying that uh you feel that black men shouldn't or black women shouldn't date outside of their race did you not hear the anthony thompson jr situation thank you i was going to go back to that envy anthony th Anthony Thompson Jr. is dead

because his girlfriend was mixed race, so she was African, but the mother was white. He's dead because his girlfriend had a white mother. Dating outside your race is dangerous. If you don't believe me, look at Deshaun Watson

down in Houston, Texas. Most of those massage girls were white. Let me ask you a question, Dr. Umar. Are you totally against interracial relationships? I am totally against it, and I want to make sure you understand why. It's not because... Cut it out, Envy.

Cut it out, Envy. Don't do that, Envy. I'm going to have a serious conversation. We have a name for it. We have a name for it. The Snow Bunny Crisis. Okay. I am against the Snow Bunny Crisis. Okay. I am against the Snow Bunny Crisis. And I want your white listeners to understand. Because people be trying to say stuff like, he's the black Hitler.

I'm not the black Hitler. I am in no way interested in hurting or harming the life of any human. White, Asian, Chinese. I believe in respecting everybody. The reason I'm against interracial marriage in V in Charlemagne is because marriage is an economic contract. It's an economic contract. Most women do not marry down in status.

They marry up. And if you don't believe me, show me a rich white woman married to a broke-ass black man. Have you ever seen a rich white woman marry a broke-ass black man. Have you ever seen a rich white woman marry a broke-ass black man? No, you have not, and you never will, because marriage ain't about love, it's not colorblind, and it is totally economic. So, if most women will marry a man of greater economic means, and women generally live longer than men when a black man dies his

entire estate goes to a non-african woman and she is free to do whatever she wants with your black money because you're no longer around to control how it gets spent it's not about hate it's about loving black people we bought the clothes out because if you got to go but I do want to to ask you, you said that marriage is not about love. So when it comes to same-sex relations, it's not about love. When it comes to interracial, it's not about love. And if you think it's about love, have you ever went into a divorce court and saw people argue about getting their love back? Have you ever seen somebody say, I want half my love back?

Have you ever seen DJ Envy? You ever been in a divorce court and see somebody say, I gave him 20 years of love. I want half my love back. I ain't never seen nobody go to divorce court to get their love back. They go to divorce court to get money, property, assets, 401ks, and everything else. What's love got to do with it? When we see you on social media asking for a queen. I'm not asking for a queen.

I'm letting the queens know that I have not chosen my queen. And if you think that you have what it takes to stand by the Prince of Pan-Africanism, I would like to know who you are because I'm so busy. I can't meet every woman. I'm too busy. But you're choosing for business. You're not trying to— Oh, I'm choosing for business.

Her head better be nappy. Her whole body better be natural. That's right. Her head better be nappy. Happy to be nappy. No weave, no perm, no straightening, no blonde hair. Listen, I opened up a revolutionary academy. The Frederick Douglass Marcus Galvey Academy.

We trying to change the consciousness of African children. How the hell I'm going to be the lead of a pan-African institution and my wife got a blonde weave and a damn head?

This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, DMX's memorial service was inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Saturday. And as you know, April 9th, DMX passed away.

He was 50 years old at White Plains Hospital. He suffered from a heart attack and he was on life support and in a coma. And so let's talk about what happened at this. It was a lot. And let me tell you something. Watching his children try to speak, that was so difficult to even see. But Swizz Beatz, of course, spoke and he encouraged everybody to do their will. Things that I'm witnessing from my brother's passing, a lot of people ain't your friends, a lot of people ain't your family.

And I need everybody to do a will. You have to do your will. You do not want strangers, bloodsuckers handling your business when you're not here you want the ones that you love handling your business but i'm gonna make sure my brother's straight i'm gonna make sure my brother family's straight my brother kids are straight and everybody in here better do the same as well yeah right somebody somebody knew somebody received that message somebody knew exactly who swiss was talking to in that moment. Now that we all should make sure you have a will and a life insurance policy

and the younger you get it, the cheaper it is. If anything ever happens, you know that your family's taken care of. They don't have to worry about that bill. They can just focus on grieving. Now Kanye, of course, and we've discussed this, was doing Sunday service and DMX participated in Sunday service previously.

And by the way, Kanye also did these Balenciaga shirts, a collaboration for DMX, which raised a million dollars for the family also. And so DMX's daughter did a song and she actually it sounds like it was a version of slipping for herself, but she's an artist also. She's 12 years old. So jr here is her performing yo my dad taught me to be strong i learned so much from him so i dedicate this song to him and yo i'm growing i'm learning to hold my head up and yo i'm growing i'm learning to hold my head up and yo i'm going i'm learning to hold my head up my daddy's still holding my hand so i gotta stand up she did three verses of that song, memorized it. It was amazing. So dope.

So cute. That young lady has a lot of talent. A lot of talent. I know he'd be super proud of that. Now, Tashara Simmons, his ex-wife, and his fiancee also shared a really nice moment and hugged each other on the stage. But she love that man. And that's why I love you. So when she comes up.

Yeah, what Tashira said, it made me and my wife tears. We were watching it, just talking about the history and how they started and all that. And wow, it was it was it was a tear jerk. I don't know. I don't know if a lot of you guys see. I just want to say one thing. I know you're doing a report. She said that DMX trained his dog. Now, this is so left, but I just thought this was genius.

He trained his dog to steal pocketbooks. So he would tell the dog something, and the dog would grab the pocketbook and run off. And that's the first time she met him. So that's why she told the story. But I'm like, goodness gracious. I heard that story before, though. I used to rob people with the dog. Mad people in Yonkers used to say that.

Yeah, but I would say with the dog, I thought it was, I got my dog with me. I know he was like, get him. And boomer would grab the bag and run. I'm like, most people can't train their dog to potty train and go to the bathroom outside. Like, that's crazy. All right. Well, DMX's fiance also spoke at the memorial service. I never thought that our story would end as suddenly as it has.

But it's filled with pages upon pages of memories that kept alive within my heart. So now, I thank you, Earl. Thank you for the love. Thank you for the journey. Thank you for the love. Thank you for the journey. Thank you for Exodus and his siblings. Thank you for the story of us. And thank you, God, for Earl Simmons, for other X. Wow.

All right. Well, that is your rumor report. And, of course, all the Rough Riders is on stage. Rough Riders co-founders Y&D were the last ones to speak during the service. Everybody was there. No, they weren't. I saw people speak after Y&D. The sheriff spoke after Y&D and the other fiance. What was her name? Desiree. Desiree. Yeah. They were the last to speak at the ball place, not at the church. Oh, OK. All right. well, that is your rumor report.

All right, thank you, Miss E. Charlemagne, who are you giving that donkey to? You know, we need a woman named Michelle Stilwell to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with her, okay? And if you look tasty, you might want to tuck your cheeks. We'll talk about it. All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida Man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife.

Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. Put the breakfast club, bitchy. Donkey of the Day with Charlamagne Tha God. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Well, Donkey of the Day for Monday, April 26th goes to Michelle Stilwell. She's 55 years old and she hails from the great state of Florida. What does your Uncle Charla always tell you about Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. And Michelle your uncle Sharla always tell you about Florida? The craziest people in America

come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and Michelle Stilwell proves my point now. Michelle Stilwell was in Florida, and she decided to call an Uber to run some errands. In fact, her daughter called the Uber for her mom, okay? And she asked the Uber driver, whose name is Michael Hasty Jr.,

to take care of her mother. Well, little did Michael know, he's the one who was going to need to be taken care of. Let's go to WFLA-NBC8 for the report, please. There is new video tonight of a disturbing weekend attack on a local Uber driver. Yeah, the driver says he was scratched, strangled, and bitten by his passenger. Now he wants to know what Uber is doing to keep drivers like him safe. We spoke with a man who says he's Michelle Stilwell's husband. He claims his wife doesn't remember anything about the attack,

including taking a chunk out of the driver's neck. I'm just your Uber driver. I'm just your Uber driver. Michael Hasse says he thought he was going to die. It was hands down the most traumatizing thing that's ever happened to me. Hasse was working as an Uber driver when his passenger turned on him. Police quickly arrested the passenger, 55-year-old Michelle Stilwell. The police report says Stilwell could have been drunk. Hasse says Stilwell's daughter called the

Uber for her mom. He says she slept most of the ride before violently waking up blocks from her home. Woke up hungry. Now, your Uncle Charlotte, Brother Lenard, I get on this radio all the time, and I tell you, all we want to do every day of our lives is avoid crazy. That's all we're attempting to do, ladies and gentlemen, avoid crazy.

But sadly, sometimes crazy finds us, comes right to our front door in this situation, right in your backseat. This is why I could never be an Uber driver. drop on the clues bombs for all the uber drivers out there man the reason i could never be an uber driver is because you are forced to interact with a bunch of different energies throughout the day and night some of those energies are friendly some of those energies are michelle stillwell I'm just trying to get you from point A to point B, and now I'm a snack? Okay?

Not even the kind of snack I want to be because it is spring and summertime, and if you've been working out, you're feeling handsome, okay? You wouldn't mind someone jumping in your car calling you a snack. But tell me I'm a snack. Don't show me with your mouth. Well, actually, it's okay to show someone with your mouth if you think they're a snack. Just not like the way Michelle Stilwell did, okay? Would you like to hear how the buffet was sounded in the car?

Listen. You get f***ed, guys. Hey, do you have the cops on the way? Call the cops. I don't f***ing care. I don't f***ing care. We just want to be safe. Jump out the car, man.

I don't want to jump out. I don't want to jump out. I don't want to get out. I can't breathe. I can't breathe. Imagine how she sounds at dinner. She probably eats with her mouth open. Yuck. She probably orders her steak rare, eats

it with no utensils, just picks it up and bites into it. Look, Michelle was charged with two felony charges of aggravated battery and tampering with a witness, and she could have been drunk. Or she could have been hungry. Or she could have been a flesh-eating, day-walking zombie. Maybe

she was a vampire maybe we are looking for all these reasons why she did what she did to that uber driver when the reality is the only logical reason for her behavior is one word two syllables and that's flor. Is Florida two syllables? Three, right? Okay. When the reality is the only logical reason for her behavior is one word, three syllables, and that's Flo-ri-da. Please give Michelle Stillman the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day.

Yee-haw. Yee-haw. Now, we sure Florida is three syllables. Florida. Florida. That's how I thought it was Florida. Florida. No, what? No. Florida. Not Florida. Florida. Florida. That's how I thought it was Florida. Florida. No, what?

No. Florida. Not Florida. Florida. It's not Florida? Who says the R? R. I ain't never heard nobody say Florida.

Florida. Florida. I never heard nobody say that. Do you not spell Florida? I know the rap of Florida. Let's ask the English major, Yee. Florida. Yes, it should be Florida. Three. Florida the English major, Yee. Florida. Yes, it should be Florida.

Three. Florida. Florida. Florida. Flo Rida. All right. Flo Rida. A lot of people just say Florida.

Flo Rida. Flo Rida. All right. All right. Low, low, low, low, low, low. I'm mad we didn't play a game, but okay. All right. You want to play a game?

You don't want to play a game. Come on. You know what race this game? You don't want to play a game. Come on. You know what race this was. You don't think so? Let's play a game. All right. We've seen silence. Let's play a game then.

It's time for a game of Guess What Race It Is. I didn't think that this needed a game of Guess What Race It Is, but Envy wants to play. Michelle Stilwell, 55 years old, gets in the backseat of an Uber, wakes up after 20 minutes of sleep and takes a bite out of the Uber driver's face. Guess what race it is? Yee! Well, you heard me already.

I've seen Silence of the Lambs, so I'm going to say Caucasian. Okay. All right. DJ Envy, Michelle Stilwell, gets in the going to say Caucasian. Alright, DJ Envy. Michelle Stilwell gets in the backseat of an Uber. Okay, sleeps for 20 minutes, wakes up and takes a bite out of the Uber driver's face. Guess what race she is!

I'm going with white. Well, you both are correct. Caucasian is the correct answer. Alright, alright. Well, you both are correct. I knew it. Caucasian is the correct answer. All right. All right. Now, our earlier last hour, Dr. Omar Johnson, he was here. We were doing an interview, and the phone lines lit up.

People had some things to say. So let's open up the phone lines. Let's talk. Let's have a discussion. What were your thoughts? What do you think? What's on your mind after hearing him hearing the good brother speak? 800-585-1051.

Call us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. Let's talk. Mr. Breakfast Club, good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic.

Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to 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.

Now, Dr. Omar Johnson stopped through. He was here last hour, and he was talking about a lot. A lot of different things. I mean, everything from, you know, interracial relationships to, you know, how we can hold police officers accountable for, you know, the disproportionate amount of black people who get killed at the hands of the police. He sparks conversation. That's what Dr. Umar does. Dr. Umar to me is like anybody else. Some things I agree with.

Some things I don't agree with. Some things I don't know anything about. You know what I mean? And the things I don't know anything about, I go and research to see if, you know, to see if he's in the right ballpark with these things, you know? All right. So let's open up the phone lines and get people's opinions. 800-585-1051. One thing I do know about Dr. Umar, though.

What's that? He absolutely cares about the liberation of black people, period. Hello, who's this? Brian. Hey, Brian. What's going on? Good morning. What's going on?

Good morning, Anthony. How you doing? Good, good, good. What do you think about Dr. Umar's interview? Brian. Hey, Brian, what's going on? Good morning. What's going on? Good morning, how you doing? Good, good, good. What do you think about Dr. Umar's interview? What were your thoughts, man? It was crazy because I think where we are right now in America, we have to fight. We have to fight civil rights and everything that's going on.

However, I think it's detrimental to us in our community when we have people, when we defend the wrong, when we would defend the wrong ideas and the wrong tactics and the things that fight against us. This situation with this young girl, when I first seen it, it bugged me out. But much like you said, I thought the first thing I thought about was, wait, if that girl in the pink was my daughter and she was allowed to be stabbed and it was it was caught on camera and the cop did nothing what would we do would it be such an outlaw and an uproar for for what happened on that end as much as as much as it is on this end and everybody defending the fact oh the cop shouldn't have shot us the cops shouldn't have did this the cops did this job i don't think i don't think nobody's saying the cops shouldn't have intervened we're just simply saying that young girl shouldn't have been killed

tonight and when you when you watch the police killings of of black people in america you can't look at these things on a case-by-case basis because it's clearly a system that allows them to use fatal force against us more often than not that's just black people get killed white people get apprehended yes no but but no okay okay we can we can argue we can argue against that however when is when is the officer doing what he's supposed to do now however remember my brother y'all y'all y'all keep saying that but yo michael brown was legally justified But yo, Michael Brown was legally justified Trayvon Martin was legally justified

Tamir Rice was legally justified All that stuff is legally justified That's why laws have to be changed No, but I agree with that But hold on, Charlamagne, you asked Why couldn't he shoot in the leg You know why cops don't shoot in the leg or shoot for the arm

Because they're not trained to No, no, no. They stopped that training years ago. Because if they miss and shoot somebody else, then that's another lawsuit. And you're putting yourself in a different predicament. So, at this point in time, what cops do is they shoot for the biggest part of the body. Which is the chest. Right.

No, I absolutely agree. Now, it was a tragedy that the young lady lost her life. Absolutely. That young girl should not be dead this morning. And in all the cases, we could talk about so many different cases where the cops abused their power and killed black people and killed minorities. But in this one, they weren't wrong. Y'all keep saying that, but 90% of these cases are legally justified. The reason Darren Wilson got off is because it was legally justified to kill Michael Bond. The reason George Zimmerman got off

because it was legally justified to kill Trayvon. Those were wrong. In my opinion, this one wasn't wrong. You say what? It's just difficult because you see white people all the time committing crimes and doing things like that and they're not cops don't fear them like they fear black people like their lives.

Not only is Angelique correct, but there's statistics that prove it. Black people get killed at three times, in some places, five times the rate of white people. All that is wrong. But in this case, that officer was right. All that you said, you're absolutely right. That is all wrong. Y'all not making any sense. How many times do you feel like,

if I was white, that wouldn't have happened to me? If I was white, the cops wouldn't harass me. If I was white, they wouldn't have followed me around the store. Now, why can't we attack the fact that all this, the social media, social media, every time you turn on social media, what is it? It's our culture. It's our culture out there.

Yo, let's get back. Our culture doing what? Our culture is depicted on social media as the ratchet ones. So police should kill us because of that? Let me finish. Let me finish my conversation. I said, you have cops that come into our community. Yes, they do not live in our community.

But if you sit down and you watch social media for a week and look at how black people are shown on social media, and then you go into these neighborhoods, you think, oh, listen, this is what I'm dealing with. Hey, my brother, let me ask you a question. And this is all in historical context. We have seen the white colonizer murder, pillage, and rape all over the world. But yet he got us thinking we the villain. Why we don't look at them like that? No, I didn't say that.

I didn't say we the villain. I said it's the way that we're shown. The way that we're shown. We've watched hundreds and hundreds of years of colonization, murderous colonization from white folks. If you want to go back in history, every time they show us, let's think about Tarzan. How do they show black people?

You're not listening to what I'm saying. We have watched hundreds and hundreds of years of pillaging, of colonization, of murder, of rape. All of this from one sector of a community on this planet, and we don't look at them like that? Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

So how are they going to look at us like that? Because of Instagram? Absolutely. Positively right. Like, God damn. Some of those cases that you name, on this planet and we don't look at them like that yeah yeah absolutely so how they gonna look at us like that cuz they Instagram even though but those were wrong they were wrong this was wrong this one was he was not wrong man he was not wrong he he saved that girl's life in the pink that's what he did he saved that girl's life and it got to the point we talked about what's right or wrong can you know how you know how many adults were there watching those you don't watch I agree but if you guess what you make your whole point null and void when you say cuz you said it already what's that that was a white girl that wouldn't happen I don't know

if it was I don't know I don't know maybe we know it wouldn't at all because because statistics show black people are killed at five times the rate of white people. Right, but we could talk about all these statistics, right? Y'all are crazy.

When you're talking about this particular case, and I love you people out there that are Instagram attorneys and say, oh, you should have shot him in the leg. You know how hard it is

to shoot somebody in the leg while they're running? Or they should have shot him in the hand and the knife would have flew out. You guys watch too much movies. Being a police officer is very

hard. But we gotta stop saying these things are a case-by-case basis because it's a system. No, it's not. It's a system. This one wasn't wrong. And if he didn't shoot the girl and that girl would have stabbed the girl in the back. So why is Isaiah Brown dead this morning? Then they would have said, how come they didn't stop him? Why is Isaiah Brown in Virginia dead this

morning? Why'd he get shot ten times? Every case is different. No, it's not when it comes to black people. Every case is different. No, it's not. Every case is different. Oh, God. All right. Every case is different.

You can't say, well, how can you? But listen, you guys, I just want to intervene for a second. I just want to say I know this is a very passionate topic for all of us, but the truth is that when white people do things like this, they don't get killed. They don't get shot. And we've seen it happen where they run over protesters, where different things happen, where they pull. We've seen people pull guns on cops and attack them and they white people and they don't even get shot when that would be justified.

All I know is if that was my daughter and she was about to get stabbed like that, I want I would want anybody to stop any threat of my daughter. Listen to what you said, though. You said you want to stop. That don't mean you got to kill him. Right. Intervene. You don't have to kill him. They don't shoot to injure.

They're not going to shoot your pinky toe. No, they don't shoot. Black people are injured. But let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. But think about it. If that was your daughter that got killed, you wouldn't have wanted that to happen either, right?

Nope. If my daughter was chasing somebody. It's just hard. Listen, and this is so real and so honest. If my daughter was chasing somebody aggressively with a knife about to kill somebody and a cop pulled up and shot her to stop it, I would understand. Even if the girl came to your daughter's house to fight her? Right. But this is the problem.

The problem is the cop does not know that when he pulls up. The cop don't care, Envy, because she's black. I tell my daughter, if she was about to fight somebody, stay in the house until the cops come. But if my daughter was aggressively stabbing somebody, throwing somebody on the floor, and the cop told her to stop and she didn't and she got killed, I would understand.

But can we admit that bias does exist within the police department? How they treat black people versus white people? That's what the main thing is. But I'm just saying every case is different. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about this at the Breakfast Club.

I know it now. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. That kid don't even deal with that. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic.

Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're talking about Dr. Omar Johnson's interview. And hello, who's this? Hello, my name is Max. Hey, what's up? Hello, Max. Yes, I'm a Russian guy. I've been living in New York for 10 years. And all this time, Congratulations. saying you cannot date out of your race. It sounds so like racist. You gotta stop thinking like this.

You know? I do not agree with you. Okay. Now I didn't hear that part but I agree with you. Congratulations sir. I have no problem with people dating outside their race. My dad is Chinese. My mom is black and I'm happy they got together and created me. Dr. Umar doesn't like it though. Well no. Dr. Umar

said he has no problem with the products of interracial relationships. Dr. Umar doesn't like it, though. Well, no, Dr. Umar said he has no problem with the products of interracial relationships. Dr. Umar doesn't like it. Well, you can't be not okay with it and then have no problem with the product of it. But you got to, I don't agree with that either. I don't agree with it, but I think what he said is interesting. Bless you, Eddie. Hello, who's this?

Bless you, Eddie. Oh, no, but Eddie Sneeze, our producer. You said that like Eddie's dating a white woman. God bless you. Hello, who's this? Sneeze, our producer. You said that like Eddie's dating a white woman. God bless you. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Mark. Hey, Mark. Hey, how you guys doing today?

Doing well. How you doing, brother? Honestly, I've been trying to get in touch with you guys. I've been trying to get in touch with you guys. And honestly, I respect everyone. I've listened to you guys since morning. I'm a truck driver. I appreciate, like, you guys always come up with some great topics.

You keep me entertained. Oh, got you, got you, got you. The reason why I'm calling is because that guy really pissed me off. Because I'm a veteran. I serve my country like anybody else did, too. My cousins are black and white from Massachusetts. And, too, I'm married to a Barbadian woman. Trust me, I'm the lucky one on that one.

And I've had three kids where I've never with two, but it's just what he said was wrong. Like, oh, it's all white people, all white people. I understand that. But the only way that we can survive in this world with this racism

is all of us got to have more love in the heart. The white people that are acting stupid, sh** them in the head, bury them, get rid of them. Wow. Sheesh. Wow. Sheesh.

Okay. We're not even going to try to. Honestly, just wait for that generation to die off. Yeah, we said that 15, 20 years ago, though. We thought that generation was going to die off, but then we saw that the racism get passed down to the younger generations. All right. Well, Dr. Umar Johnson called up 805-85-1051.

And what we have to stop doing as a culture is when you hear something that you don't like, you say all of a sudden that person is canceled. That is whack. I mean, just listen. As a community, you've got to have a dialogue and you've got to be able to have a conversation. And the cancel culture thing, when it comes to certain things, I absolutely positively agree. When somebody says something that you don't like and you automatically want to cancel, that is whack.

It's just an opinion at the end of the day. Like I said, some things with anybody, this is for everybody, some things I agree with, some things I disagree with, some things I simply don't know.

And things I don't know, I listen to what a person's got to say and then I go do my own research on it. Yeah, correct. Is it okay to mute people? Yeah, it is. It's fine. You got to protect your peace.'s got to say, and then I go do my own research on it. Yeah, correct. Is it okay to mute people? Yeah, it is. It's fine. You got to protect your peace.

You got to protect your energy. I mute people, and I restrict them, but I don't cancel. But all that cancel culture stuff, I hate it. It does not give people the right to have an opinion, and if they have an opinion that you don't like, you automatically want to cancel them, and that's not how we should be in our community. We should be able to hear both sides and be able to have a conversation

and break down it and still be able to say, you know what? I didn't like his opinion. F him, but it's all good. We're on to different things, but the way that people are with this cancer culture is really bad. It is really bad. But anyway, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and I want to know what Dr. Umar Johnson had to say about Caitlyn Jenner announcing that she

is running for California governor. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report.

Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. All right, well, Saweetie has said that she is going to an artist boot camp, and that's just to get everything under control for herself. I'm always a fan of people improving what it is that they're doing.

So it's an artist development boot camp. And here's what she had to say. I'm actually in a boot camp right now, artist development. So they work at me. What takes place in this artist development boot camp? What happens? Well, for me, I'm going to focus on what I struggle with. I struggle with breathing control.

I'm going to work on my dance move, my details, all that good stuff. My just body, my stamina, my everything. Yeah, most artists, more artists definitely need to be in some type of artist boot camp. I think a lot of times these artists blow up so fast because they be, you know, making these songs on their own, putting them on streaming services. Then they pop off and they get with a label it's just like yes invest in these kids and and make them better at their craft yep well the full interview is on apple music it's interesting because it reminds me of motown right what they used to do at motown where they would go to barry gordy's house and no matter how big you were he said you had to come here and still do artist

development right still do the choreography still do training, still do all of those things. Yeah, what do A&Rs do nowadays? Like if you're an artist. Help make albums, hook you up with producers. But what if the artist is already doing all of that? Look online, you send them beats, you try to help them with features. It's not like before. Even Diddy used to do that.

Diddy used to have training, media training. They used to do breathing techniques. They used to have training, media training. They used to do breathing techniques. They used to do all that with Bad Boy. Even when we had Moneybagg Yo on the other day, he was saying when he wanted somebody, like he wanted Jhene Aiko on the album, he just asked Yo Gotti to do it. Sometimes, and sometimes they might think

of collaborations for you you wouldn't think of. Sometimes they have a song that's perfect for you. Maybe the hook is already done. And they're like, this song would be perfect. So there's still a place for it, right? Yep. All right. Now, Caitlyn Jenner has announced that she's running

for California governor and she has filed the paperwork to run for office. She wrote on Twitter, Californians want better and need better from their politicians. Taking on entrenched Sacramento politicians and the special interests that fund them requires a fighter who isn't afraid to do what is right. I am a proven winner and the only outsider

who can put an end to Gavin Newsom's disastrous time as governor. I think some people would, you know, his support of Donald her support of Donald Trump would hurt her in that situation, right? I would think so especially in a state like California. Yeah, so we shall see what happens with that, but

I know they said the family is not supporting her and her run all right now let's discuss um blue face I saw that blue face was trending over the weekend by the way blue face was trending with R Kelly I don't know if you guys saw that but there was a video that surfaced where he was telling everybody all the women there's women living in his house and it's full of bunk beds, women are sleeping in them, and he told everybody they had to get tattoos. Listen. We're getting tattoos today. Go home. Which one is it?

That's going to be it right there. Why R. Kelly, though? Why not Flava Flav or Ray J or anybody who had a house full of women at some point. Why R. Kelly? Well, they're saying it looks like very cultish is what people were thinking. Flavor Love look like a cult too. Now, it looks like though what they're

saying is he's been working on this reality show for the past several months, kind of like a bad girls club type of thing and streams exclusively on OnlyFans. That's all I'm saying. Why R. Kelly? He could be shooting for a reality show. That's why I said Flavor Love and Ray J. girls club type of thing and streams exclusively on only fans that's all i'm saying like why r kelly yeah he could be shooting for a reality show that's why i said flavor love and rage like i like i just jumped on kelly jesus all right now adrian broner has posted a video and people were scared about a post that he did uh about feeling suicidal he said i swear to god sometimes i wish

i was dead mfs don't appreciate me on God. Just take me away from this ish before I do it myself. And a lot of people did reach out to him. And he posted, my brother stopped me. And he put, thank God. I saw 50 Cent reached out to him as well. He said, damn, AB must be hit right now. We love you, boy.

It's just time to lace up. Call my phone. And here is Adrian Broner. They stopping him. He almost did it, but they got him. They finally got him. We're not going to let you do this. It's okay.

He was about to do it. He was about to do it, but they got him. Yeah, it feels like, you know, Adrian Broner be going through it, because we've seen him just post certain things on social media at different times. So I'm glad he got brothers around him that love him and care about him and can intervene in those type of situations. Because sometimes all you need is somebody just to show up for you and pour into you. So I'm happy he has that.

All right. Tyrese was also trending. And that is because he was shaving his new girlfriend's vagina on social media. I've seen that. And she posted a picture of her feet up and you can see his head at the bottom of her feet and she said, I will never ever let go of my king but does your man shave you though?

And then you see a picture of him holding up the razor. Yeah, Tyrese has to stop telling us that he's depressed over his divorce because it doesn't seem like it. No, not at all. He wanted his wife back like three weeks ago and now he's shaving poom pooms on Instagram.

Is he officially divorced? Well, I guess. No. I mean, fine. Listen, you're supposed to move on, right? You can move on, definitely. Yeah. Like Jessie Reyes says, get over him by getting... What does she say? Get over her by getting under me. What is,

is that how it goes? Under you, I think. They don't have a wax in it a little? Yeah. And why are you doing all this on Instagram? I got to call Tyrese, man.

Tyrese, you too old for this, bro. Oh my goodness. You too old for this, man. All right. You too,

you can't be out here just, is he trying to make his ex jealous or what is it? Like you're doing a little too much. Some people have a, some people have a shaving fetish. They like to shave their significant other. Don't do it on the gram, Tyrese. Tyrese, you 40-something years old.

Like, you look like these young boys now. You're doing too much now. I got to reach out to Tyrese. I think there's like 10 wax centers in the world. You never asked your woman to shave you a butthole or nothing? No. And if I did, it wouldn't be on Instagram. Wait, what?

You guys manscaped there? Yes, but I do myself. I got a manscaped there? Yes But I do myself I got a manscaping So you shave your own butt I don't wax my butt Have you ever gotten Have you ever gotten ingrown hair?

In my butt? Hold on You wax the cheeks of me? I do not wax But you know I take care down there I don't do nothing with my cheeks

Amazon man I don't know what's going on back there I have no idea A manscape All he does is clap him I do my pews That's all he does do nothing with my cheeks. Right. Amazon man. I don't know what's going on back there. All right. I have no idea. I'm an landscape. All he does is clap him. I do my pews.

That's all he does. I do my pews myself, but I don't know what's going on with the cheeks. All right. So you just leave the back like that? What else am I supposed to do? I never even thought about it. You should think about it. Nah. Think about it.

I'm cool. Envy, how do you do? You put one leg up, or how do you do it? How do you reach there? Drum, get the fart sound. This is awkward. All right, and that is your room report. Yes.

All right. What, do you sit down? Do you sit down and spread your leg? How do you do it? I ain't never heard a man say they wax their own ass. That's wild. I don't wax. I don't say the wax.

Yes, you know he shaves it. Do you get on your hands and knees and do it? All right. That's great. We'll vote. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. All right, Harry, man.

There were six brothers that flew with me down there. Two of them have never even got on a plane before. So the fact that we were able to take them down to Orlando and teach them how to do real estate, and they were interested in investment properties and buying their own property, so they were super-duper excited. And also in Orlando, congratulations to Edgar Belonga. He won his 17th fight. He didn't knock him out, though.

Almost did. Put him on his ass five times. But shout out to Edgar Belonga and his whole team. It was a great fight. Great weekend. Well, I was in New Orleans over the weekend, so I definitely want to shout out. Y'all know I love New Orleans. So I was out there.

I actually had a chance to see Jay Electronica. Of course, we went to one of my favorite restaurants there, Murrow's. And Larry Murrow's been on the Breakfast Club before. So I know you guys are familiar with him. But I just saw everybody. And thanks again to Greg from Weed At. I linked up with him too while I was out there to get my products in the supermarket. It's a big deal to be able to do that. So I appreciate everybody at Rouse's for just working with us on this Coffee Company Cup and on drink fresh juice. It's been a lot of work for me behind the scenes. So I'm just grateful that it looks like something's happening. And shout out to my guy, Fee. I actually went with him and his new artist, RJ. They were feeding the homeless yesterday.

So I love seeing things like that take place. Dope. And last but not least, I want to shout out to DJ Scoob Doo. He had a pop-up shop out there for his clothing line, Bread Over Bed, and he did a lip service collaboration. So it was an event-filled

weekend for me. So thank you, New Orleans. I always have a great time there. All right, well, we'll be back with the Positive Notice at Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Atlanta, what up, man? I can't wait to see you guys July 3rd. That car show is going to be crazy.

A lot of surprises. Shout out to the beat in Atlanta. And if you're in a surrounding city or whatever, you can make it a destination weekend. I know a lot of things are canceled because of COVID, but Atlanta's open. It'll be socially distancing. It's going to be great.

And there's not too many tickets left. So hopefully I get to see you guys in Atlanta. And we've been talking about this movie. I know we talked about Questlove and his directorial debut. It's called Summer of Soul. Well, they actually put out the trailer yesterday during the Oscars. And I'm excited for it because it's never before seen concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly and the Family Stone, Gladys Knight and the Pips. And these are all people actually got to see Nina Simone perform before.

But it was six weeks in the summer of 1969, the Harlem Cultural Festival. And a lot of people don't even talk about it. We talk about Woodstock, but we don't talk about this Summer of Soul with these iconic artists. So this is going to be really amazing. And you can watch Summer of Soul in theaters and on Hulu on July 2nd. But you guys saw the trailer right yeah trailer looks dope man yeah i did i don't know why i was thinking that

this documentary was about soul train though maybe because of quest love's love for soul train maybe the whole summer so i don't know why i was thinking this was about soul train they did show don cornelis in the trailer a little bit though well i remember when he first announced it and so this is really exciting that it's finally coming to fruition. They said the footage actually sat in a basement for 50 years and had never been seen. Imagine that. I remember D'Angelo used to say Sly and the Family Stone was who he modeled himself after when it came to performances. So I can't wait to see it.

Congratulations to Questlove. When does it come out? Summer of Soul. That comes out actually in theaters and on Hulu on July 2nd, same weekend as your car show. Great. Now, Charlamagne, you got a positive note? I do. And the positive note comes from Don Miguel Ruiz.

You know, I love Don Miguel Ruiz. I love totic wisdom. If you've never read The Four Agreements, you should. But Don Miguel Ruiz says, when we believe in lies, we cannot see the truth. So we make thousands of assumptions and we take them as truth. One of the biggest assumptions we make is that the lies we believe are the truth. Breakfast Club, bitches!

We all finished or y'all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory.
