The Breakfast Club - Do You Have a Hidden Agenda

Episode Date: June 1, 2020

Today on the show we opened up the phone lines to not only discuss the chaos that happened over the weekend, but to have our white listeners call in to explain why they are protesting and if it is for a different agenda. Also, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to Mayor Deblasio for supporting cops driving into a crowd and later on it was only right to have Attorney Cory Smith call in to help us out with our mental health.

It's our earning. Impacting the culture. They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that breakfast call. The world's most dangerous morning show. We in the mother, Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God.

Peace to the planet. It's Monday. And let me shout out to Toronto. Good morning, Toronto. The Six. What's happening in the Six, man? What's going on in the 6th, man? It feels good to be back, even though America is burning.

We can't sit here and act like we don't know why it's burning, though, right? We all know how we got here. We got three perfect storms brewing at once in America. Yeah, poverty, coronavirus, and then, of course, the killing of George Floyd. Good old-fashioned racism, all right? And like I've been saying, ain't no good gonna come to America until they do right by black people. America has never truly atoned for its original sin,

which is slavery, and they've put black people through so damn much and haven't given us a damn thing back. America owes black people for building this country, and you wonder why so many black folks have a problem with patriotism. It's because how can we salute a country that enslaved us and continues

to brutalize us? Come on now. Let's not act like we don't know what's going on in this country right now. And like you said, 40 million people unemployed. Largest unemployment number since the Depression era. Of course people out here looting. They feel deprived in one of the wealthiest nations in the world. They want some of those luxuries. Y'all taught them

how to love, okay? America acts completely clueless in regards to the plight of the pooriest nations in the world. They want some of those luxuries. Y'all taught them how to love, okay? America acts completely clueless in regards to the plight of the poor. And let's not forget, too, America's also rebelling against fascism, okay? That goddamn Trump administration. America's out here rebelling against that fascist regime. They're out here rebelling against racism and bigotry. We know how we got here. Come on, come on, people.

It's not that clueless this morning. And hopefully this morning. And hopefully this morning we'll hear from the district attorney and the other three cops will be charged. I'm praying that they'll do the right thing and charge those three officers. Yeah, I'm here. That's going to happen. They put Keith Ellison. Keith Ellison is one of the prosecutors on the case.

I think they removed the original DA. Keith Ellison is a brother. So I'm pretty sure that they're probably going to lock those three officers up real soon. If they're not already locked up. I don't know. I haven't checked the news this morning. I haven't seen anything else yet, but hopefully they will be locked up by this morning. All right.

Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, of course, I'll be giving you updates on what happened overnight and we'll talk about attorney general keith ellison leading the prosecution of george floyd's death we'll tell you when can you expect uh chauvin to be back in court he was supposed to be in court actually today but that date has been delayed so we'll tell you what that next date is and we'll just be giving you updates of what's going on in response to george floyd's death around the around the country and around the world all right we'll just be giving you updates of what's going on in response to George Floyd's death around

the country and around the world. Alright, we'll get into that next. Can we start with a modern day Negro spiritual? Because we have song to get us through these troubling times. Because we have to have a case of optimism, right? We got to believe everything is going to be good, don't we?

My God told me to tell y'all this morning that we're gonna be all right dark nights in my prayers morning everybody is dj envy angela yee charlamagne the god we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news where we starting ye well this morning front page news we will be talking all about George Floyd. Now, Derek Chauvin, the officer arrested in George Floyd's death, has a record of shootings and complaints. They said there were at least 18 conduct complaints filed against him.

Two of them resulted in reprimands. Feels like that's not enough. Now, he did also, they were supposed to have him in court this morning but it looks like that date has been delayed they didn't really give a reason why the date was delayed but now he'll be in court on June 8th so that's his next

court hearing now George Floyd's brother spoke to Donald Trump here is Donald Trump discussing speaking to the family of George Floyd the death of George Floyd. The death of George Floyd on the streets of Minneapolis was a grave tragedy. It should never have happened. It has filled Americans all over the country with horror, anger, and grief. Yesterday, I spoke to George's family and expressed the sorrow of our entire nation for their loss. Now George's brother Philonise Floyd said that the conversation that he did have

with Donald Trump was pretty quick. Here's what he said. It was hard. I was trying to talk to him but he just kept pushing me off like I don't want to hear what you're talking about. And I just told him, I want justice. I said, I can't believe that they committed a modern-day lynching in broad daylight. All right, George Floyd's family also intends to have an independent autopsy performed. There was a lot of outrage over the medical examiner saying that there is no physical findings of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation. They said that George Floyd likely died from a compilation of police restraint,

underlying health conditions, and any potential intoxicants in his system. George Floyd's family is now doing their own autopsy. Ben Crump, who is the family's attorney, said that he and the family reject the notion from the Minneapolis medical examiner that the knee from the police officer on George's neck for almost nine minutes was not the proximate cause of his death. So they're trying to make it seem like it was also underlying health conditions and the fact that he had been drinking.

OK, yeah. So we all didn't see the video of a white devil racist bigot with his knee on the back of George's neck. Now we've seen that video. Over and over. I can't breathe. Come on, man. We've seen that video. And what was the relationship that they knew each other?

They worked with each other? Was any of that true or factual? Well, they both worked in... Oh, they worked in a club together. Yeah, one of them, you know, Chauvin obviously was a police officer that did security, but he also worked with George Floyd.

But George Floyd, they said they may not have known each other. Their paths might not have crossed. So it's not for certain that they knew each other. Okay. It's just crazy that this guy even still had a job. Like, I mean, he shot and killed a brother named Wayne Reese in 2006 and then shot multiple civilians while in uniform.

Like, you tell me, what job can you have where you keep making those kind of mistakes and still stay employed? Well, they said even in one of the clubs where he worked, there were a lot of complaints against him. Even the owner had to reprimand him at times because he was too aggressive when speaking to the patrons. So it looks like he had an ongoing issue. Attorney General Keith Ellison will be leading the prosecution of George Floyd's death now.

The governor announced Sunday he has asked him to assist County Attorney Mike Freeman in the forthcoming case. And Ellison has accepted that case. They plan on meeting actually today to start their joint work. Just go arrest the cops. You've allowed four to five days of people tearing up cities all across America simply because you don't want to arrest three police officers? It makes no sense. Should have been arrested.

That would be an easy trade for me. Burn down all these cities across America or arrest three cops. George Floyd's family did speak to the police, the Minneapolis police directly for the first time live on CNN and one of the questions that Floyd's brother asked was whether the other officers involved would be arrested,

and police chief responded, being silent or not intervening to me, you're being complicit. Mr. Floyd died in our hands. So I'm not sure what's going to happen, but it feels like that is what has to happen. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you need to highlight us, call us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart?

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. Well, why can't I trade 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.

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, Thank you. Hey, y'all. Niminy 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. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. 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. I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, he was called a woman. 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. I'm darling. I'm darling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling, I'm telling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling, I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed.

800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, Envy, what's going on? Good morning, it's Rick, Brooklyn. Rick, what up, man? Get it off your chest, bro. Good morning.

Good morning to Angela. Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning. It's Rick from Brooklyn. Rick, what up, man? Get it off your chest, bro. Good morning. Good morning to Angela. Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning. Peace, King. Your dad was a cop, right? Yes. I have a suggestion. I don't know if it's something that they already do,

but I remember Dr. Dick Gregory mentioning, why don't we have cops be licensed, right? Like a physician or like a CDL driver where they have to go every couple of years and get recertified and get retested. Because I think when they get into law enforcement, they've got to take physical, they've got to take psychological exams. And then later on, they get all these reprimands and they get all these bad things on their records, but they're still allowed to remain cops because there's no recertification program

and nothing like that. They don't get retrained for certain things. So it's like you keep all these bad cops on the force, and they have all these bad records because we don't recertify them every couple of years. I think as a cop, every couple of years you should be able to do your physical all over. You should do your psychological exams all over so that you don't have these bad apples in a bunch messing it all up and not knowing how to deal with the public.

My dad hasn't been an officer for over 15 years on the job, but I think they do retrain. I think you do have to take a test every couple of years. I know when you retire, every you do have to take a test every couple of years i know when you retire every year you have to take a test to maintain that you can keep your weapon your service weapon but that's a good thing and but i think they should be checked mentally as well not just physically not just being able to use a firearm but mentally as well i think you should be like a licensed police officer in the sense of listen if if if if you have certain things on your record over a period of time, just like if you have a driving record, you have too many points, you lose your license.

I agree. Because what are all those complaints for if nothing happens, if people are filing these complaints and what's the whole point of the civilian complaint board? Yeah, I agree. It should definitely be a point system. And if you have a certain amount of points, you lose your license as being a police officer, just like you would lose your license as a driver. I agree.

Thank you, Rick. Yeah, and you also have to set a certain precedent by charging your damn cops when they shoot and kill people, okay? That dude Chauvin had killed somebody in 2006. What are we talking about here? Yes. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's going on, man?

How you doing? It's Brian calling from out of Washington, D.C. Brian from D.C. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Hey, man's going on, man? How you doing? It's Brian. Calling from out of Washington, D.C. Brian from D.C. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Hey, man. I was just calling to say I finished some of the protests downtown last night, yesterday evening, down at the White House, man.

There's a lot of white people out there. They're doing all the vandalism. They're doing all these black lives matters. Hey, what's up, man? It's making us look bad. I just want to not have them pointing the finger at us and point the finger at who's really doing all this vandalism and all the rioting and everything.

Yeah, I saw a lot of that online. I saw white people writing Black Lives Matter on the wall and say, dude, what are you... Yeah, but I don't understand. I really think America... That probably... That has to piss them off to see white people fighting alongside black people. Like, America cannot have the narrative that white kids are actually fighting for black folks' rights.

America can't have the narrative that white kids are fed up with the direction of this country. That defeats the whole purpose of white supremacy. That has to be a white supremacist's worst nightmare to think that. I don't even know if it's them fighting for it or them taking advantage of the situation and using house for their, push their agenda. Because, I mean, you got people down there that's yelling, no, don't do that,

don't take that, don't do that, stop doing that, you know, us. Because we're down there trying to get our point across. And they got the city burning and everything else. And it's making it hard to get the actual message across

if you're going to cause all this destruction. Yeah, I think it's a little bit of both. I think it's someone on our side and doing what's right. And I think it's some taking advantage. I see one dude look like he had a whole GoPro set up in his crib. And then on the ceiling, he had like a MAGA shirt. So yeah, it's a lot of people taking advantage as well. You're going to always have COINTELPRO that disrupt protests,

but you can't post memes that say things like, It's a lot of people taking advantage as well. You're going to always have COINTELPRO that disrupt protests, but you can't post memes that say things like, I wish they love black people the way they love black culture. And then when they show up for black people and want to fight with us, we'd be like, wait a minute, you might be an agent. Some of them are, though. Some of them are. Get it off your chest. Some of them are just fed up.

Yeah, some of them are fed up. If I was a white supremacist, I'd be out here spinning the narrative, too, saying that those people are plants and they're Asians, because I would not want anybody to think that Americans are actually unifying. White people are actually out there fighting for black people's rights. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. 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

The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.

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

Hello, who's this? This is Tyrone calling from Atlanta.

Hey, what up, Tyrone? Get it off your chest, bro. How's it going on, man? You know, just want to get high and praise everybody that's going on right now. Because I know there's a lot of things in this world that sometimes we can't understand. But, you know, we got to get through it. And I definitely got my chest about a lot of these celebrities. A lot of these celebrities are just not using their voice

for the people. They are so much worried about their assets when a lot of people, our people, give them all types of resources to make them who they are. But when it comes to politics, and I understand everybody's not into politics, but at least for our people, say something.

Don't stay silent. Don't stay silent. People are worried about people breaking into Gucci's door when Gucci really don't care nothing about us. So why support people who don't care about us? But celebrities have all this power, but staying silent. Alrighty, bro. I'll say support people who don't care about us, but celebrities have all this power, but staying silent.

I'll say this. I don't know that I look at this time as celebrities to see like, what does this person think about things? But I do feel like, yes. Yeah, but I understand being disappointed in some people who you feel like, wow, I thought they'd be, you know, at least say something about it. But again, I don't look at

celebrities for that. Yeah, me neither. I'm not looking at celebrities to be like, oh man, I least say something about it. But again, I don't look at celebrities for that. Yeah, me neither. I'm not looking at celebrities and be like, oh man, I'm going to go to his page and see what he said. I mean, I don't care. Honestly, not at this point, not at this time. I think everybody that's being loud right now are the people that are supposed to be in loud, and that's the actual people. You know what I mean? And not to mention, even when it comes to some of the celebrities, everybody fights different. Like, you don't know what people are doing, you know, behind the scenes, what kind of calls are being made, what kind of meetings are being had. Like, just because a person isn't showing up to a protest doesn't mean that they're not out there fighting. Some people fight different.

Everybody got a position to play. Absolutely. Hello, who's this? Miss Monique. Hey, Miss Monique. Good morning. Get it off your chest. Yeah, well, I'm very upset about how George Floyd was murdered in Minneapolis.

I didn't even know that that happened because I don't watch the news like that due to this pandemic. My son told me that my son's 22. He told me what went down and I was like, what? When I seen it, it just touched me. When I heard that man say

he can't breathe, it was like Eric Garner all over again. It's touching. My family, we from Alabama, so now I see why my Touch me. When I heard that man say he can't breathe, it was like Eric Garner all over again. Mm-hmm. You know, it's touching. Like, you know, my family, we from Alabama, so now I see why my grandmother ran from down there. You know, and she's still dealing with racism. I know our police ain't corrupt, but this got to stop. This has to stop, right?

We can't take it no more. Our hearts are bleeding. Absolutely. Our hearts are bleeding. Our hearts are bleeding. You know, we want justice. We want this man in jail for what he did to George Floyd. Absolutely. I don't condone the riots. I don't condone any of the riots at all.

But as far as justice, it needs to be served. All right. Now I'm with you. This can't just keep on happening with no repercussions. Like, this is ridiculous. And why do we keep saying all cops aren't corrupt? The whole police system is corrupt. So if you're a part of that system, you're a part of that corruption,

especially if you're not doing anything to change it. Yeah, but I think she means all police officers aren't bad. That's what I think she meant. And she's right. All police officers aren't bad. And there's a lot of police officers standing up right now. And there's a lot of police officers standing up right now. We do need some good ones. And there's a lot of police officers standing up right now saying it is wrong

and saying what that chokehold was wrong and saying that that officer needs to be arrested and needs to be charged with murder. So there's some officers standing up. And even joining the protests. Yeah, but the whole system is corrupt. Like the whole entire system is a corrupt system. So it doesn't even make any sense to say one individual is not corrupt.

I mean, it does. I mean, for some people, she's just saying she knows that all cops aren't bad, which is facts, which is true. All cops aren't bad, but the system is. The whole system is terrible. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.

Nayee, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and just in response to the caller who was upset about celebrities not speaking up and speaking out, we'll tell you what has been happening in the celebrity world when it comes to George Floyd, who is speaking out and who is going back and forth on social media with people. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. E.J. Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Tory Lanez.

So Tory Lanez and Shekinah had a back and forth. You know, Shekinah from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. Now, Shekinah was on her live previously, and she was talking about the looting and the protesting, and she wants people to stop tearing up businesses. Here's what that sounded like. Gucci ain't this shit, yo. Y'all can say whatever y'all want to say. They racist, whatever.

I don't want to hear this shit. I ain't this shit, yo. Well, Tory Lanez posted, with all the things going on, I'm seeing this lady crying over the Gucci store being broken into, the effing Gucci store, shorty. Well, Shekinah then was in his comments on his live,

and he did put her on, and the two of them had a conversation, and here's how it went. Have you gone outside and marched with the people yet? No, I haven't marched with the people. Have you been around when the looting is going on? Have you been around in, like, any of those places where it has been going on, like, in the moments of it going on?

No, I haven't been. I'm not, I don't appreciate that white man killing us. I don't think that's cool. I'm not with that. But I don't think, I don't think we're going to get anywhere by stealing these people's shit. I'm Gucci. Gucci. I don't even wear that shit anyway.

It's another way we can get our point across, bruh. I scream. I'm black. You know we can get our point across, bro. I scream. I'm black. You know we angry, right? Listen, man, both of them are entitled to their opinions, but those buildings will be back. But the lives of black people killed at the hands of the police are gone forever.

So to me, when you just tell protesters, rioters, whatever you want to call them to just cut it out, it's not that simple. You're not acknowledging the pain of the people. You've given folks no other choice, no other outlet to express themselves. Plus, they don't think they're going to get justice any other way. Folks have a right to be angry.

And sadly, when they're angry, they're going to express that anger in various ways. And tearing up buildings is one of them. Man, did y'all see the older black man who they tore up his business? There's a lot of people, minorities, that had business work for long years. That one had me crying. They had their business in stock hard, for long years. That one had me crying. They had their business in stock and it had been ruined. You're talking about the old video from the 90s during the Rodney King riots? No, this was a recent one.

No, he wasn't yelling. He was crying. I saw that one. I saw when they said it was from 92. Their business has been burned down and people can say, I can never go back. I can't afford it. My insurance doesn't cover all this. So a lot of minorities are hurting.

And I agree with that, and you shouldn't point the finger at the looters. Point the finger at America. This is America's part. If you're going to point a finger at the looters, you've got to point two fingers back at America. America is the root cause of this. All right. Now, Machine Gun Kelly has raised his voice to talk about protesting, and he actually was outside protesting as well.

He posted some pictures, and here's what he had to say to his fans. If you look like me and you have racism in your heart and on your mind and coming out your mouth, f*** you. I'm ashamed of you. If you enjoy my music or you like my movies, I don't want you watching. I don't want your business. F*** you. I don't want nothing that's a part of the evil agenda and that's not what our generation's legacy is going to be step up and speak out for the for our fellow people going through all this hell right now

and and encourage good evil is running the show man take it back from them these motherf**kers i mean drop on the clues bombs for machine gun right, man, drop on the clues bombs for Machine Gun Kelly. And drop on the clues bombs for all the white kids, all the white people out there fighting with the black folks, standing side by side with your black brothers and sisters. Every white supremacist in America right now is confused as hell. Last thing America wants at a time like this is unity. I actually think it's the white supremacist's worst nightmare to have white people out there actually fighting with black people.

That's why they keep trying to push the narrative out there that, you know, these white folks are being paid to do that. They are agents. I'm sure it's COINTELPRO and these protests, black and white. But for the ones that aren't agents and they just out there fighting because they love black people, salute to you, white folks. Yeah, I love it. I absolutely positively love that. And on a side note, I didn't know skateboards were that strong. Hey, brother, skateboard is gangsta as hell, ain't they? Absolutely, positively love that. And on a side note, I didn't know skateboards were that strong. Woo!

Hey, brother, skateboard is gangsta as hell, ain't they? You see the damage they do with skateboards? I'm like, jeez. Brother, skateboard is, them skateboard is gangsta as hell. I'm going to tell you something else. I'm so happy that there's so many white people out there. Because if it was just us Negroes, oh, they'd have got us. It'd have been so much death this weekend. It'd have been so much missing black folks.

If it was just black folks out there, white folks that are actually out there for the right cause. Carry on. All right. Now, Michael Jordan has also spoken out amongst amidst everything that's happening with George Floyd. And he released a statement. He said, I am deeply saddened, truly pained and plain angry. I see and feel everyone's pain, outrage and frustration. I stand with those who are calling out the ingrained racism and violence toward people of color in our country. We have had enough. So that was part of the statement that Michael Jordan put out. He said, I don't have the answers, but our collective voice

is so strength and the inability to be divided by others. We must listen to each other, show compassion and empathy, and never turn our backs on senseless brutality. We need to continue peaceful expressions against injustice and demand accountability. Our unified voice needs to put pressure on our leaders to change our laws or else we need to use our vote to create systematic change. Cardi B also has posted a video

and she was talking about the looters and everybody being upset over the murder of George Floyd. And here's what she had to say about people just being tired of being peaceful. Seeing people looting and going extremely outraged. And as much as people is so against it, at this point, I feel like I'm not against it, even though it do scare me and I don't want anybody to get hurt.

But it's just it's really frustrating. You want to know why? Because how many peaceful protests have we seen like i've been doing police brutality videos ever since my teeth been up and the only that change has been my teeth like you know what i'm saying so it's like mother could take the grown and adult way and act peaceful people are tired that. So now this is what people have to resort to. She's right. It goes back to what I said earlier.

You got to acknowledge the pain of the people. Like you've left people with no other choice. At least that's how they feel. They're desperate. They got no other outlet to express themselves. Plus, 40 million people being unemployed, man. You know, poverty is real. People have been sitting in the house for three months.

They just want to feel good. And, you know, if getting some free stuff makes them feel good, sadly, that's what they're going to do. And that's why I think Michael Jordan should set up a pop-up shop and have legal looting. Just let Michael Jordan buy a building and just put mad Jordans in there and just let people run up in there legally. People will be hurting each other for those Jordans, too. Sounds like that could be very dangerous. He might as well just give them away. Just give everybody get a free pair of Jordans, you Sounds like that could be very dangerous. They might as well just give them away. Just give everybody

get a free pair of Jordans. You know, that way, because they ain't be fighting. Even when they see people looting, you see them stealing sneakers from each other? Well, maybe that's how you contain

the chaos a little bit. Make it like a fair factor challenge or something. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee.

Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? Yes, I'll give you some updates on what was happening overnight. We'll tell you about the curfews that a lot of these cities, at least 40 cities in Washington, D.C., have imposed curfews. And we'll tell you some new developments. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning. What's happening? Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with George Floyd's family. Now, they spoke with the Minneapolis Police Department for the first time live on the news, and here's what happened. I want to know if he's going to give me justice for my brother and arrest all the officers and convict them. Being silent or not intervening to me, you're complicit.

So I don't see a level of distinction any different. Obviously, the charging and those decisions will have to come through our county attorney's office. Certainly the FBI is investigating that. My decision to fire all four officers was not based on some sort of hierarchy. Mr. Floyd died in our hands, and so I see that as being complicit. It's really simple. I mean, I've gotten in trouble before. I've been around people who've had guns, who've had drugs.

If somebody don't claim the gun, they claim the drug, all of us go to jail. Like, every single one of those people are accessories to murder. All those cops are accessories to murder. They are. And that little bull crap body footage that they released last week was just disrespectful.

It was all bleeped out. You couldn't hear what they were saying and everything was blacked out. That was for no reason. That was for no reason at all. Did you see the video that came out yesterday where they was beating up George Floyd in the back of the car? Inside the car? In the car where they was beating up George Floyd in the back of the car?

In the car. Yeah, absolutely. And then pulled him out of the car? Then pulled him out of the car. Because at first they said he wouldn't get in the car, but then they pulled him out the car. It's crazy. First degree murder.

Accessories to murder. The first court appearance for Derek Chauvin, who was the former Minnesota police officer charged in the death of George Floyd, has been moved to June 8th. It was supposed to be today and records indicate no specific reasoning for why that date was reset, but he does remain in custody and he was charged with third degree murder and second degree manslaughter, two felonies where they say intent is a key element. And it's very important

to note that he shot two people before and killed one. He had a record of 20 complaints, two letters of reprimand. There was absolutely no reason for that guy to even still be on the police force. You know what I'm saying? That's why you got to set a certain precedent by charging your damn cops when they shoot and kill people and fire them, period. All right. Now, a man who drove a tanker truck into a crowd of protesters in Minnesota Sunday night was charged with assault. I don't know if you guys saw that. I've seen that. I definitely saw it.

Video as well. So that person has been charged with assault. Also, shortly past midnight in Oakland, California, midnight their time, shots were fired at a police administration building. They said at 12.09 a.m. shots were fired at the Oakland building located at 455 7th Street. No injuries reported. Three people have been detained in connection with the shooting. Envy, you sent us

a video of them looting in Soho in New York City. They were going into the Rolex store, the Chanel store, Bloomingdale's even got looted. Gucci, Best Buy, everything got looted. It seemed like in New York City. All right. Around 4000 people have been arrested in the United States since George Floyd's death. We're still waiting for three more people to be arrested, by the way.

They should have been the first ones in addition to Chauvin. But those people have been arrested because of the nationwide protests that have been happening. The first arrest began on Tuesday, May 26, which was the day after George Floyd was murdered. NYPD officers, some of them did take a knee with protesters in Jamaica, Queens. You can see video of them kneeling. And people were surprised when the officers went ahead and kneeled with them. So there are places where police officers are joining in the protests and some of the protests in certain states and certain cities

have been peaceful. I know in Newark, New Jersey with Mayor Ras Baraka, they actually had a very organized march in solidarity with each other. And Ras Baraka was out there too. The mayor was actually out there walking and kneeling with the people. So it's a lot different. Hey, question. Why is it so easy to break into these expensive ass stores? What do you mean? I would think that it would be a little bit,

why is it so easy? Like, I would think it would be a little bit harder to break into like the Rolex store. I mean, if you think about it, when you got hundreds of people breaking into a store, it's not much anybody can do. I mean, you can stop. They don't care if they're caught on camera.

They don't care. No, I mean, all that stuff is being able to be broken. The gates are being able to be ripped apart. Like when people want to get in, they can get in. And, you know, usually there's a camera to deter people or, you know, it's usually one or two people that you can deter. But when you got 50 to 100 people, it's nothing you can do. And they don't care if they're caught on camera.

Police officers don't post up in front of those, like, expensive-ass stores more than they do other places? Well, you got to think. I would think that at a time like this, there'd be more police presence around. Well, people are protesting all over the city. So cops can't be on 42nd Street and be in Brooklyn and be in Soho and be in

Harlem. You know what I mean? It's spread thin. And then if you want cop and there's a hundred people coming in to get in that store, what are you that one cop going to do? Well, I will say,

man, just watching all across America, those looters really do have good taste. Like all the things this country has put value on. They went there first, Louis Gucci, Rolex, Alexander McQueen,

Chanel, all the places I can't pronounce. They went to get some of them luxuries. Mm-hmm. Alright, well that is your front page news. Alright, thank you, Miss Yee. Now when we come back, we'll open up the phone lines. Who are we talking to this morning? I want to talk, man, to some of the white protesters, the white folks that's out there

fighting alongside black folks. You know, surprisingly, your Uncle Charlotte believes in you. OK, I know that some of y'all are being painted as agents. And I totally understand why black folks are skeptical of white people being out there fighting alongside us. We have no reason to trust. OK, but but I'm and I'm sure that it's some coin tell pro involved somebody in some of these protests.

But I also believe that it's white people tired of seeing black folks get killed in these streets for no reason. And I know it's white folks out there that are fed up with this country and are fighting against the fascist regime. And I just want to hear from y'all. Like, white folks, I want to know, what are your reasons for being involved right now? I really do. I want to talk directly to the white people that are out there

raising hell. Alright, well, let's get on the phone lines now. 800-585-1051. It's The 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. Pick up the phone, baby. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now, if you just joined us, we've been talking about the protesters because of George Floyd's death, or I should say George Floyd's murder. And Sean may want to hear this. Talk to some white people this morning. Yeah, because, I mean, I've just been noticing, man, you know, it's been so many, you know, white people fighting side by side with black folks. And it's just like, oh, I want to talk to you because, you know, ironically, I don't say ironically.

That's not the word. Surprisingly, I believe in you. OK, I know some of that. I know some of y'all are, you know, being painted as agents. And I'm sure that it is some COINTELPRO involved in some of these protests. I totally understand why people are skeptical of white folks fighting with black people. But I also believe that it's just white people tired of seeing black folks get killed in these streets for no reason. And, you know, that meme, that meme that says, I wish they loved black people the way they love black culture, it hits different at a time like this.

I know there's some white folks out there that are just fed up with this country and they're fed up with the treatment of black people. They're fed up with this fascist regime. They're unemployed. You know what I'm saying? They don't know when they're going back to work. So I think it's a lot of reasons for white folks to be out there protesting. But I just want to know why a lot of white folks are choosing to be involved right now.

That's it. All right. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello. Who's this? It's Steve. Steve, where are you calling from? I'm calling from Dayton, Ohio.

Dayton, Ohio. Steve, are you Caucasian? Yes, I am white. And I just think, you know, I totally agree with all of me. And, you know, we're all sick of this. You know, I don't think in my mind there is no race. We're all, you know, united as one, you know, and I'm just sick and tired of all of this drama.

You know, I mean, that man did not deserve that, you know, and I can't even walk around with my African-American, you know, brother-in-law without him feeling some type of way or, you know, feeling, you know, stressed out because, you know, a police officer drives by. And I don't think that's right. You know, I protest in a different manner. You know, I just think it's, you know, it's all BS. You know, I can't even speak right now because I'm so hurt over the whole situation.

You know, I mean, I understand we should protest, you know, destroying our property. I'm not agreeing with that part but I mean as far as Charlemagne said yeah we're all sick of it you know I can't and you have a black brother-in-law yes sir I do I mean that means you got a black wife oh wow so you got a

bird's eye view of the black experience yes sir I mean for the last 20 years I've been experiencing all of this, and, you know, I just, I'm just ashamed, man. I'm just ashamed, you know, about the actions they chose to make, you know, and, you know, I just, I'm just not happy, brother. I really ain't. All right.

Well, thank you for calling, brother. I believe you. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's up? It's David. What's your name? Who? David.

Hey, David. Good morning, man. What are you calling from? Good morning, y'all. What's your name? Who? David. Hey, David. Good morning, man. What are you calling from? Good morning, y'all. Yeah, I'm from Austin, Texas. I'm sorry. It was just a long weekend. It was crazy.

We had tear gas thrown at us. We were shot with rubber bullets. It was ridiculous. Why are you out there fighting, young man? Tell us. Why are you showing up as a white man? I'm from a small town from Mississippi, so I know back home, I got like 100, 150 people who can't go out to a big town,

who can't go out to protest. I'm going to be the voice for the people back at home. Okay. All right. What's the cause you're fighting for? One thing I do want to point out, though, that I noticed last night, they burnt the tent and the mattress of a homeless man they're trying to give the peaceful protest a bad name well yeah and that's what I

said I do know there's probably some coin tell pro out there there's probably some disruptors out there but I do feel like it's more white people out there for the right reasons like yourself you know simply because you know you're tired of seeing black people get killed in this country definitely it was there was no need for all that type of violence out there there were You know, simply because, you know, you're tired of seeing black people get killed in this country. Definitely. There was no need for all that type of violence out there. There were people sitting there on their knees, hands up, and they were still shooting tear gas and rubber bullets at us. And there's just no need for this violence. Well, thank you. Thank you for your service, young Caucasian.

800-585-1051. Hit us up now. We're asking to talk to some of the white people that's in the fight with us, all right? That's out there protesting. That's out there protecting. That's out there telling everybody how they feel. Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning. I know it now. I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. That can't hold me.

You know what that is? Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club top. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Now, if you just join us, Charlamagne has been trying to holler at our white allies this morning. That's it, man. You know what I mean? I want to talk to some of the white protesters, the people that we see out there, you know, fighting alongside black folks. I believe in you, especially you skateboarders.

I didn't know you white skateboarders were so goddamn gangster, okay? And I know that a lot of people are painting the white folks as agents that are fighting alongside black people, and I have a theory about that. I think it's the white supremacist's worst nightmare to have white people out there actually fighting alongside black people. And I have a theory about that. I think it's the white supremacist's worst nightmare to have white people out there actually fighting with black people. That's why they keep pushing this narrative

that these white folks are being paid to do this and they're agents. I'm sure it's some COINTELPRO out there. I'm sure there's some people out there just that want to disrupt things. But for the most part, I think that it's black people and white people fighting alongside each other because these white people really love black folks. That meme that said, I wish you loved black people the way you love black culture, that got to hit different at a time like this when all your heroes are black,

when your favorite athletes are black, when your favorite musicians are black, when the way you dress is black culture, the way you even talk is black culture. That meme got to hit different. So salute to all the white folks out there on the front lines with us. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Lindsay. Lindsay, are you white? Are you white? Clearly. Yes, I am.

Why do you say clearly? Can't be a black Lindsay. I'm not a black Lindsay. Good morning. Good morning. I can smell the Starbucks on her breath this morning. Hi, Lindsay. Hi. Now, why are you out there this weekend? Well, I'm not one of the protesters, but I do agree that black lives matter. I have many black friends.

I think black people are wonderful. I think most of them are better than white people. They truly have good hearts. And I'm tired of seeing what's happening to them. You know, these police officers out there just, you know, taking it upon themselves to judge them and stereotype. And, you know, it's got to stop. But what I don't agree with is the rioting and the looting. Those people are putting a bad name on themselves as well as black people

because they're destroying public property. And, you know, I mean, what would George Floyd want? He wouldn't want that. He wouldn't want people out there destroying things and, you know, harming other people and people being scared to go out. He would want them to stick up for his name, but not in that way. I mean, I don't know what George Floyd would want because he's not here to tell us what he would want because he got killed by a goddamn racist-ass cop. But, I mean, listen, nobody wants to see the looting.

Nobody wants to see the burning down of buildings, but we kind of got to understand the outrage, though. We can understand where the mayhem is coming from. Yeah, I do. I completely understand that, and, you know, I mean, if they want to, you know, go burn cop cars, that's fine.

But, I mean, that poor black man with his business and them, you know, burning his business down, he didn't do anything. I mean, he's one of them. You know, I mean, don't hurt your own kind, you know. If you're going to target something, this is coming from a white woman, y'all. If you're going to target something, target the right things.. You're going to target something. Target the right things. Yeah. And speaking of target, I mean, they had to adjust their hours and close their stores. But they did say that they stand with with us. So the CEO released a statement in support of the protests against police abuse against African-Americans.

Well, thank you, Lindsay. Thank you, Lindsay. Let's go to another line. Hello. Who's this? This is Candace. Hey, Candace. Where are you calling from? I'm from Dunn. South Carolina? North Carolina. Oh, okay.

I had no idea where Dunn was. I ain't even going to front. I thought it might have been in Delaware or something. You're white? Yeah, I am. Okay, let's talk. What reasons do you have for being involved? First of all, I have three mixed children.

I have a 15-year-old son that I'm scared to grow up. He's at that age now where he's starting to find himself, so he's starting to go out with his friends and, you know, ride around and all that. And I'm scared for him to leave. And it really makes me mad that every time you see the hashtag Black Lives Matter, they want to change it to All Lives Matter, which all lives do matter. But right now, for this situation, it is black lives matter because until white people are scared to go outside or scared to call the police for anything because they don't know how they're going to act, then white people

don't understand how it feels. I understand how they feel because I'm in that community. You know what I'm saying? I am more around black people than I am white people. So I understand how they feel. And I'm scared for my son to grow up. I'm scared for him to be in a store that's predominantly white and they're looking at him suspicious and he's not doing anything wrong. Right. Were you outside with the protests?

I actually didn't get to make it. I work two jobs. So I wasn't out there physically with them, but my heart is with them. My heart is really with them because it's ridiculous that we've let it get this far. Absolutely. Thank you. I'm glad you feel that way.

Like, it could have changed so easily if everybody would just come together. It's sad that it takes a killing to make people want to protest. Like, we should protest peace all year round anyway until this stops. And the police officers need to be held accountable just like we would. Alright, absolutely. Well, thank you for calling and thank you for riding with us, Mama. We appreciate it. 800-585-1051. Is there a moral

to the story? Yeah, the moral of the story is, man, for all the white people out there fighting alongside black folks, salute to y'all. We appreciate your service, you know what I mean? Drop one of Clues bombs for the white folks out there fighting with black people. I appreciate you. I want you to continue to use your privilege to combat prejudice. You know, don't just love our music. Don't just love our culture. Love us.

And right now what's happening? This is a white supremacist's worst nightmare. And I promise you they're going to keep the narrative going that, you know, these people are being paid or, you know, their agents. And listen, some of them probably are just like some of the black folks probably are. But for the most part, I think it's people out there that are really just fed up with what's happening to black people in this country. So salute to you, Caucasians. I'm going to come up for a name with y'all because we need the opposite of Vanilla Isis. Vanilla Isis is the domestic terrorist, the white supremacist. We need a name for the good white folks.

I'm going to think of one. All right. Nayib, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. Now, she was joined alongside killer Mike NTI to address what was happening in the streets in Atlanta. So we'll give you that update. Also, Dr. Dre, he was on Young Money Radio

and will tell you what he had to say about George Floyd's murder. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep had to say about George Floyd's murder. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let me shout out to my mom. Today's my mom's birthday. Happy birthday, mama. Happy birthday. Sucks we can't have a party or anything with everything that's going on. But happy birthday, mama. That's the bad thing with the country shutting down.

And I know they're opening up. Oh, Charlamagne. Barber shops and salons are opening today. In Jersey? In Connecticut. I thought it was in Connecticut. No, it's just Connecticut. Oh, don't play with me.

I was like, Ty would have hit me. I wish you would have seen his face. He was like, what? Connecticut. No, I got the date. Ty told me the date. Let me see. I think it's June 15th, I think, barbershops will be back open in Jersey.

Yeah, June. Well, June is also African American Music Appreciation Month, just so y'all know. So that starts, what's today, June 1st? Yes, June 1st. Yeah, that starts today. Mama's birthday. FYI. FYI too

I was like, wow. And the Chanel store. And the Chanel store. The way them, I'm telling you, them skateboards got super extra power on them, man. The way them skateboards are able to break glass, break wood, break windshields, break cars. Like, them skateboards are very, very strong. I have a new respect for skateboarders. Skateboarders to me are like the new biker gangs,

but the skateboarders are on our side. The biker gangs are usually on the other side, usually the side of the white supremacists, you know what I'm saying? But the skateboarders seem like they're on our side, so salute to them. I respect y'all gangsters. But that's what they do though. Their whole life is rebelling against cops.

Breaking bones for a living. They tough in a real way. You're right. The crazy thing is, you know, in New York, New Jersey out here, you're not allowed to carry a firearm. It's just not allowed. You cannot have it. You can have it in your house. It's very hard to get a firearm to carry outside, right? So most people have

a little baseball bat or a club back in the day. They would have that in their trunk or their backseat just in case of an altercation. But I'm going to get me a skateboard, brother. Learn how to skateboard. I'm going to get me a skateboard. And your cardio probably crazy. You can fight a skateboard if you want to. You're going to be fighting all goddamn day.

My goodness. All right. We got rumors on the way? Yes, and we'll keep you updated on the protesters. Also, we'll tell you some of the celebrities who are out and about protesting. And we'll talk about Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. She was joined by Killer Mike and T.I. And we'll tell you what was said.

All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Killer Mike.

It's about time. What's going on the rumors. Let's talk Killer Mike. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Yes, Killer Mike and T.I. joined Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms,

and they were talking about basically the rioting that was happening in Atlanta. Now, here is what Killer Mike had to say. It is your duty not to burn your own house down for anger with an enemy. It is your duty to fortify your own house so that you may be a house of refuge in times of organization. And now is the time to plot, plan, strategize, organize, and mobilize. It is time to beat up prosecutors you don't like at the voting booth. It is time to hold mayoral offices accountable, chiefs and deputy chiefs. I'm telling you right now, if aliens came down today and told me, take me to your leader, I'm taking them to Killer Mike. That is absolutely one of the leaders I'm taking you right now, if aliens came down today and told me, take me to your leader, I'm taking them to Killer Mike.

That is absolutely one of the leaders I'm taking them to. Drop on the Clues Bonds for Killer Mike. Love that. Keisha Lance Bottoms is also telling people that if you were outside protesting, make sure you go get a coronavirus test. I did think about that. I was going to say that, too. Did we just forget about coronavirus?

Because of the pandemic. Yes, we have. Because nobody's wearing masks. Did we just forget about coronavirus? Because of the pandemic. Yes, we have. Because nobody's wearing masks. Like, do we just, is coronavirus just, just forget it. Racism and police brutality are the cures for coronavirus. Who knew? All right, now, J. Cole was outside, and he was marching with protesters in his hometown of Fayetteville, North Carolina.

He wasn't taking pictures or anything like that, not doing interviews. He didn't want to distract from the moment, but it was exciting for people to see that J. Cole was out there. He wasn't taking pictures or anything like that, not doing interviews. He didn't want to distract from the moment. But it was exciting for people to see that J. Cole was out there. And that's not the first time he's done something like this. He also attended protests after the killings of Michael Brown and Eric Garner in 2014. And he was spotted at a rally in D.C. organized by Farrakhan commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March. So he does the work.

Also, Wale hit the streets with protesters in L.A. as well. And Insecure star Kendrick Sampson, he was out as well, and he said he did get injured by rubber bullets while he was out protesting. All right. In addition to all of this, Dr. Dre was on Young Money Radio, and here's what he told Lil Wayne about the murder of George Floyd. My heart is still aching, and it felt like that cop had his knee on all of our necks, meaning black men. And it's like, what can we do, or what do we need to do to make this thing stop?

Did you hear that the cop was arrested today? Yeah, I heard that, but that's not enough. At all. That's not enough. You know, the other three cops are supposed to be arrested. They're supposed to be convicted and they're supposed to be arrested and convicted of first degree murder. All right. And that's rare for Dr. Dre to even do an interview. So just I do think it is important to hear people speaking up. It is inspiring. And CNN's Don Lemon, he has called out a bunch of different celebrities for their

lack of visibility during protests. Here's what Don Lemon had to say. What about Hollywood? Strangely quiet. I see them on Twitter. I see them. Oh, my, you know, I'm loving what Don Lemon's doing. I'm loving what this person's doing. Why are I don't? But they got to do more than that, especially black celebrities and black leaders and white celebrities and rich Hollywood and rich folks. Why aren't they helping these young people get on television or do something? You know, I was home on Friday night, Saturday night. I think it was Saturday. I don't remember what night it was, but I was home and I was actually watching that live. And I would like to say that Don Lemon sounded crazy.

OK, because first of all, you don't know what he's asking for the celebrities. Yeah, I was watching that. You don't know what I was watching that live and uh I would like to say that Don Lemon sounded crazy okay because first of all you don't know he's asking for the celebrities yeah I was watching that too you don't know what I was watching that too and he was like it just sounded mad eerie because it didn't show him it was just showing the protest and he tried to sound so mad he was vamping like he was actually literally trying to kill time and they was playing b-roll and they probably was just telling him to talk keep talking it sounded crazy. It did. Exactly, because first of all, you don't know what folks are doing. And when you call folks out, ask yourself, what are you doing?

Don's saying that from the comfort of his TV show. If you're going to call folks out like that, you go on the front lines. Not to mention, why do we care what celebrities are doing? America's obsession with celebrity is exactly why we have a reality star as president. What you calling out Hollywood for? Call out the politicians, the elected officials. Not no damn Hollywood. Who cares what Ellen and Oprah got to say at a time like this?

And also, you know, and like you said earlier, we don't know what people are doing. You don't know if people are more, okay, I'm just gonna handle my business behind the scenes and not make it public what it is that I am. Or they might be plotting and doing something right now that we don't even know about that we'll find out about later.

But, you know, I can't. That's the least of my concerns right now. Yes. And Don, let me call out people that are doing the work. Like Colin Kaepernick already was establishing a fund to bail protesters out. You see the governor, the governor yesterday said he was on the phone with Jay-Z. You know what I mean? And now Keith Ellison is on the case.

Like, you don't know what people are doing behind the scenes for you to be calling folks out. But once again, if you're going to call people out, make sure you're on the front lines and not doing that from the comfort of your TV show, Don Lemon. Come on now. Well, Jay-Z also released a statement. After our very earnest conversation, thank you to Governor Walz for doing what's right and calling in Attorney General Keith Ellison to take over the George Floyd case. Earlier today, Governor Walz mentioned having a human conversation with me, a dad and a black man in pain. Yes, I am human, a father and a black man in pain, and I am not the only one. Now I, along with an entire country in pain, call upon A.G. Ellison to do the right thing and prosecute all those responsible for the murder of George Floyd to the fullest extent of the law.

This is just a first step. I am more determined to fight for justice than any fight my would-be oppressors may have. I prevail on every politician, prosecutor and officer in the country to have the courage to do what is right. Dropping the clues, boss, for hold, man. You know what else? One other thing Don Lemon did, he called folks out and told them to stop tweeting, you know, stop just being on social media and told them to speak. But then he gave Beyonce credit for speaking on social media. Don was just talking.

He was just talking. He was like, you got two minutes. He's like, I'm just going to talk. Exactly. Just vamping. Man, like, you got two minutes. He's like, I'm just going to talk. Exactly. Just vamping. That was whack. All right.

Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Donkey of the Day, who are you giving that donkey to? Donkey of the Day is going to Mayor Bill de Blasio. He really needs to come to the front of the congregation because he does not know how to de-escalate a situation. We'll talk about it. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Billy?

Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. You're a donkey. Donkey of the day for Monday, June 1st goes to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. Now, I saw a lot of things that disturbed my soul this weekend. I saw a lot of things that gave me panic attacks. I saw a lot of things that kept me from sleeping at night.

But there was one video that disturbed me a lot. Disturbed me a lot more than the others I saw. And I'm sure you saw the video of a pair of NYPD SUVs driving into a crowd during one of this weekend's protests of George Floyd's death. I think this was in Brooklyn, if I'm not mistaken. Let's hear the report. It took a dramatic turn by night. There were reports of demonstrations happening all over the city. but the bulk of the activity was here in Brooklyn, as well as Manhattan. At one point, shutting down the Manhattan Bridge.

A video has also surfaced showing two NYPD vehicles pushing into a crowd of demonstrators. And officials are saying that those vehicles were being struck by rocks as well as other objects uh thankfully nobody was seriously hurt but when i showed my wife that video like she literally cried and it baffles my mind at a time like this police officers wouldn't be doing everything in their power to improve relationships with the people like now is not the time to show us that you really don't give a damn. Like, you know, I don't even know why police officers still have the creed to protect and to serve. Salute to all the good cops out there,

but I don't see how you can be a good cop in a corrupt system. I would really like to know, seriously. And let me explain. It's simple, right? They always say one bad apple spoils a bunch. We've always heard that expression. Well, have you ever heard the opposite? Can I take a good apple, put it in a bunch of rotten apples,

and make those rotten apples turn good? I've never seen it. If it's possible, I'll shut the F up forever on this topic, but I don't think I'm wrong. See, the system is so corrupt. And as the great AOC said, Alexandria Cortez, she tweeted this last week in regards to the killing of George Floyd. She said, I'll just say it. A lot of politicians are scared of

the political power of the police, and that's why charges to hold them accountable for flagrant killings don't happen. That in itself is a scary problem. We shouldn't be intimidated out of holding people accountable for murder. AOC is absolutely right,. We shouldn't be intimidated out of holding people accountable for murder. AOC is absolutely right. But politicians shouldn't be scared to hold police accountable for anything. But that is exactly what Mayor Bill de Blasio did this past weekend. When he failed to hold those officers accountable for driving through that crowd, listen to what Mayor Bill de Blasio had to say in regards to that situation.

I saw some moments yesterday that were disturbing in terms of the way police handled things and that need to be done better. We, many of us, have seen the video involving two NYPD vehicles and a crowd of protesters. I didn't like what I saw one bit. And clearly, we need to do a full investigation and look at the actions of those officers and see what was done and why it was done and what could be done differently. But I also want to emphasize that situation was created by a group of protesters blocking and surrounding a police vehicle, a tactic that we had seen before in the last few days, a tactic that can be very, very dangerous to everyone involved. And we've seen direct attacks on police officers, including in their vehicles.

And we need a full and impartial investigation, but we also need to be clear about the context. And that was a situation that had to be resolved. It could not stay that way, but we need to understand more about it. And if there's discipline that needs to be meted out, there will be. Mayor Bill de Blasio is shook to death of police leaders and unions. They own him. Do you remember when Edward D. Mullins, the president of the Sargent's Benevolent Association, tweeted in February that members of the NYPD were declaring war on de Blasio?

And last August, the union declared it had no confidence in de Blasio. And my girl AOC, once again, she came through with some truth, because after de Blasio said what he said, AOC replied on Twitter that he was making excuses for the NYPD. AOC tweeted, as mayor, this police department is under your leadership. This moment demands leadership and accountability from each of us. Defending and making excuses for NYPD, running SUVs into crowds was wrong.

Make it right. Deescalate. De Blasio, you just made folks hate cops and hate the system even more. Those cops who did that should have been fired or at the least suspended. Okay, something. Don't make it seem like that behavior was okay. Meanwhile, this is why we are at the point in our society where we should just shut the F up and let black women lead.

All right, Keisha Lance Bottoms, mayor of Atlanta, this weekend, all right, this weekend, We are at the point in our society where we should just shut the F up and let black women lead. All right. Keisha Lance Bottoms, mayor of Atlanta, this weekend, right, this weekend, two Atlanta police officers, I know you probably saw this video, two Atlanta police officers were captured on video forcibly pulling a pair of college students out of their car, tasing them, placing them under arrest during protests. These kids were doing nothing. Guess what happened to those two police officers? They got fired straight like that.

Mayor Bottoms gave a speech about it. Let's hear it. Chief Shields and I have made the determination that two of the officers involved in the incident last night will be terminated immediately. The other three officers are right now on death's duty pending further determination of what, if any, appropriate action, disciplinary action should be taken against them. The release of that body cam footage and the corresponding police report should be available to the media immediately. Simple. Cops do something wrong.

Cops get fired. That's how you repair relationships between the community and the police. That's how you change a system. Just get rid of the bad apples in that system. Hold cops accountable. That's all we want. And this is why black women make the best leaders, okay? She took action immediately.

Something that Bill de Blasio clearly doesn't have the n***s to do. Please let Remy Ma give Mayor Bill de Blasio the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother******, you dumb. That's also why Keisha Lance Bottoms is being mentioned on the short list for being vice president of the United States of America. That'd be a great position for her, even though with a name like Mayor Bottoms, she's perfect to be the mayor of Atlanta. Oh, stop it.

All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, Corey Miner-Smith will be joining us. Tell the people who Corey Miner-Smith is. She's an attorney. She has a book called Driven and she is a huge mental health advocate, man. And I know that right now, especially after the past week, especially after this weekend, a lot of us are emotionally drained. You know,

a lot of us, you know, are just trying to keep our mental health in order. And I think that is very important. And, you know, she just has a lot of great ideas and a lot of good tips for you to keep your mental health in order, man. So I think that this is a great conversation. Mental health awareness month was last month, but mental health awareness, you know, for me is a year-round thing. So I think a lot of people could actually use her conversation this morning, could actually benefit from hearing that conversation this morning. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club

we got a special guest on the line right now attorney cory minor smith she has a new book out called driven it's a memoir but it's a self-motivational memoir. What is it about? Yes, it's called Hashtag Driven, and it is a motivational memoir, but I use it as a resource for families and friends that have a loved one living with severe mental illness. A lot of times people don't know what resources are available in the community. Many times a lot of people who are suffering with a severe mental illness are left alone, dismissed by family and friends because they don't know what to do to help that person. So I use my life story to help individuals who are in the position that I was in in dealing with my mother who suffers from schizophrenia. Wow. What do you think it would

take to completely eradicate stigmas of mental illness in the black community? Well, first of all, we need to recognize the stereotypes that we associate with mental illness. Many times, perhaps with the people that are untreated, who are in psychotic states that we associate with the term mental illness, and therefore anybody that's dealing with depression or anxiety or just mild symptoms don't want to be associated with those images. And therefore, the stigma prevents us from getting therapy, prevents us from seeking treatment that is readily available. And in order to eradicate it, we have to acknowledge that it is present, is real. It doesn't discriminate with anyone, regardless of your gender, your race, your socioeconomic status. So it's important for us to acknowledge it, to accept it, to love our loved

ones through the symptoms that they exhibit, and then ultimately advocate by talking about it, using your platform, which I appreciate you all doing today. This is National Mental Health Awareness Month. July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. And this is a 365 global issue. So all throughout the year, we need to continue to talk about it and then take action through legislation, seeking research and funding that can help us to know about other medications that may help individuals who are experiencing severe mental illness. I wanted to ask you a question about, I get several ask ye, that's

the advice segment that I have. And several people have emailed me and they're in relationships with people who they feel are suffering from mental illness, but the person doesn't want to seek professional help and they don't know what they should do. Should they stay in the relationship? What are some options available if you are in a relationship with somebody who you feel like, okay, they do need to get professional help, but they're not willing to do that? What would you advise? Yeah, I would advise the person who is asking that question to seek for him or herself. For example, having consultation with organizations like NAMI, they can help you to establish effective tools and continue in the relationship with that

person or understanding that you may not be able to continue the relationship with that person. Ultimately, being able to set boundaries and depending on what the mental illness is, you have to be aware of the potential symptoms that that person can exhibit, especially if you're dealing with severe mental illness like schizophrenia and bipolar. Those types of severe mental illnesses, less untreated, can be dangerous, and you wouldn't want to put yourself in that position. What is the triple-A strategy to destigmatizing mental illness? Actually, something I just went over, but acknowledging, accepting, and advocating.

A lot of us want to ignore or deny symptoms. For example, if we're in that relationship, you know, and the person is exhibiting things, don't ignore that. You have to be cognizant and aware of potential symptoms and knowing that you are not putting yourself at harm. Acknowledging also includes learning more about illnesses so that you can help your loved one to cope, to build up the tools necessary to have the highest quality of life, and then acknowledging in the sense of knowing about the resources that are available in the community. The second part is accepting, accepting that this person is mentally ill. Your loved one or friend may never be the way he or she was before exhibiting the first signs of severe mental illness. For example, with schizophrenia, it's described in like threes and thirds.

One-third of people who experience schizophrenia may have one bout with symptoms related to schizophrenia and never have reoccurring symptoms. The second-third of individuals, like my mother, may be in and out of mental institutions for the rest of their lives on and off of the medication because they believe at some point that they don't need it they get off of it left untreated their symptoms become very severe and then there are those that we may see on the street on any given day in any city USA who are homeless who are exhibiting severe signs of mental illness they They're left untreated. They're not connected with any services in the community.

And they end up dying, whether it's by suicide or someone on the streets killing them. And that's 13th Advocacy. You also talk about advocacy. Oh, sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. 13th Advocacy. Yes, yes. Such as you, Charlemagne, you know with your book and also the guests that you all have had on here using your platform to openly talk about it, creating the space necessary for people to feel free to talk about it and share their symptoms and understanding that there are services that are available.

And we cannot afford to be ashamed of these services and using the services that are available. So the three point strategy is the acknowledging, accepting, and advocacy. One thing you also discuss is undesirable circumstances. And you've said don't allow undesirable circumstances to be excuses for you to fail, but allow them to be reasons for you to excel. So let's talk about what undesirable circumstances are in your book and how that has you driven. Yes, thank you. I had a teacher in high school named Norma Washington, and she told me I had what she called undesirable circumstances. At that time in high school, I had been to 14 schools, lived in three states in eight different households.

By the time I was 14, that's when my mother started to show signs of severe mental illness. And by the time I was 15, she left me in Texas and returned to Ohio. And by the time I was 16, my mother had attacked me and I was in the court system where at that time, my grandmother, my paternal grandmother took me in. And so just those circumstances alone, in addition to other things that I've experienced, have been attributed some to my mother's motto, which is not to allow undesirable circumstances like some of the ones that I've experienced to be excuses for you not to do things, not to pursue goals and objectives, not to pursue a better

quality of life because of those undesirable circumstances, but to use them to excel in your life. Alright, we got more with attorney Corey Miner-Smith when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with attorney Corey Miner-Smith. Charlamagne? You know, I love how you talk about, you know, your loved ones with mental illness,

your mom, because, you know, I've seen so many people affected by a grandmother or a mother who has Alzheimer's, a dementia dementia and doesn't remember them anymore? How do you handle having loved ones with mental illness and you staying mentally sane when something like that happens? That's a very good question because it's a day-by-day process. You have to create boundaries in knowing what you can and cannot do for your loved one, knowing when it's necessary to take a step back. And that's when it's important to have those resources that are available in the community

because you can have caseworkers that are able to directly connect with your loved one rather than you. And in my case, I'm my mother's only child. So many times I'm the focus of her psychotic state. I'm blamed for things a lot. But my love for my mom overshadows all of that. And I want to be there for as much as I can. So I rely on community resources and I suggest that people connect with services like NAMI, the National Alliance on

Mental Illness, their local chapters in the community, and they can connect your loved one with services. Right now, there are people who are quarantined also and going through a lot of different things with the people who they love. What advice do you give people right now in quarantine who are going through difficult circumstances and how to come through it on the other side even stronger? Absolutely. I suggest using this time. I'm using this time just to be grateful. This has given us a lot of time to be quiet and be still and understanding our thoughts, how we want to come out of this. But ultimately, if someone is feeling like they just can't handle it, you know, they feel too much distress, I suggest doing a mental health assessment and understanding what tools and resources may be available to help you with those things. For example, there's an organization called Mental Health America, and right now you can go online and do a mental health assessment, especially since you can't necessarily get to an in-person appointment with your medical doctor or if you do see a counselor.

It's great that there are telehealth services available where you can talk over the phone with a counselor. NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, has peer-to-peer support as well as family-to-family support. And those services are available on Zoom calls online. And they have created, you know, a confidential space so that those who want to participate in those programs can. You know, you broke the book down into five parts, too. Faith, motivation, determination, preparation, and action. What role did each of those play in your life? Faith definitely played a part in it. You know, while my family, my mother, my father may not have always gone to church, my father required me to go to church when I lived with him,

and it ultimately helped in those rough teenage years, right? Where I was hanging out, you know, with a crowd that we did some activities that weren't necessarily good, you know, jumping girls, unfortunately, trying to sell drugs, just hanging out in the streets and those types of things. But ultimately my faith and those who pray for me when I didn't know to pray for myself, helped me to excel through those undesirable circumstances, Angela, that you asked about, and ultimately leading me to wanting to do more. And that's where the motivation came in. You know, you may not always have the inner drive to get you to your next goal, but other people in your circle, they can be instrumental in helping you to have the motivation or give you motivation to come out of your circumstances. The determination, I came up with that listening

to Shannon Sharp's NFL speech. He talked about having a five alarm fire inside. And I identify with that so much because I never knew what drove me to want to accomplish things in my life. But ultimately, it was the undesirable circumstances that I wanted to get away from. So that's where the determination piece comes from. Preparation is being prepared for the things that you want in your life. Many times we think we can just connect with a person of fame or celebrity, and they can just automatically get us to where we want to be. But if you're not prepared to be where you want to be, you won't get there.

And then as far as action, the fifth part of it, you can daydream, think about, doodle on paper all day long. But if you don't take action to get where you want to go, you'll never make it to reaching those goals that you set for yourself. So those are my five principles that break down the book, hashtag driven. I was going to say the book is a very useful and helpful tool for people. And I think it will definitely inspire people to want to make sure they check on their mental health even more. Yes.

Yes. And I just want to say one more thing. You're right. It is OK to not be OK. And I know now is a difficult time for people worried about finances, worried about family members, just worried about going outside in general. And it is okay to have those concerns and worries and to not be okay. But how do you know when it's to the point where it is something that you have to take action and take control of? If you're losing sleep, if you're not eating the way you're used to eating, if you're not connecting and engaging people. I know we can't personally or in person, but just not wanting to talk to anybody on the phone. Those are some top signs

that things may not be right for you at this time. And maybe you need to consider talking to someone to talk through that. It's important to just understand there's no reason to be ashamed of reaching out for help. Even if you talk to a friend. You know, I relied on my best friend, Kim, a lot, but I found that I could not keep putting all of that on her. So I have no problem, you know, identifying that I have, especially in trying to be there for my mother without taking some time for myself and understanding the boundaries that I need to create and to use the services that are available rather than putting it all on myself to move forward.

Thank you. Absolutely. Thank you. Where can we get Driven from? Yes, Driven is available by going to CoriEmpowers.com, which would take you to Amazon to purchase the book. Also, I have five essential keys that are available, five essential keys to loving a loved one

with severe mental illness. And you can go to CoreyEmpowers.com and sign up to receive that. It's very useful information and helping you to be there for your loved one, sharing information and resources. So ultimately, we're not just dismissing these individuals and pushing

them aside because they're exhibiting severe mental illness symptoms and how can they reach you if they want to yes i'm available at 330-452-9937 and again by going to coreyempowers.com i'm also available on instagram facebook and linked, all under Corey Empowers, as well as Corey Minor-Smith. So you just pick up the phone if you call? Oh, and if you bought that life, aren't you giving us your phone number? Well, that's not my personal number, you know. Oh, wait a minute.

It's a separate number. I was like, wow. Thank you for joining us. Please don't be a stranger. Yeah, absolutely. And thank you. Thank you for the work that. Yeah, absolutely. And thank you. Thank you for the work that you do. And Angela, thank you for your lip service.

It's a great platform for ladies. I appreciate that. Thank you very much. It's Attorney Corey Miner-Smith. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club club let's get to the

rumors let's talk the dream she's spilling the tea this is the rumor report with angela yee on the breakfast club yes the dream went on twitter to address the damage that he's seen being done in the city of atlanta he, remember this. He said, first he said, dear people, if you're not from Atlanta, don't come here and please go home. I own things in the city. A lot of blacks own things in the city. From bank head to buck head, do not destroy property

that negates the decades of work. My children will not be set back by you. And then when he got backlash from that, he responded saying, remember this. One, it's hard to get a loan being black. Two, when a black business is burned down, it usually never returns. Three, they will still owe the loan. Four, credit to start again is rejected. Five, we have to wait a whole generation to restart. These are some facts. Are y'all that simple? All I talk about is black-ish. All I do is black-ish. Yo, I can't say

don't burn down my home. Yeah, I'm sorry if you feel that's cool. I've been in the streets. I've been part of illegal arrests and unrest. Here's what you want. Here what you want. So people were giving him a lot of backlash for talking about the protesters in the city. Well, he didn't say don't protest. He just said don't burn down our own stuff, our own community. You know, like he said, there's a lot of black businesses out there that if they're burned down, they probably will never be able to get back up.

So I understand what he was saying. Yeah, I mean, he's right. And, you know, nobody is wrong when they tell you not to tear up your own community. But, you know, once that mayhem and rage starts, you can't control it. You just hope that, you know, they don't tear up their own stuff. Right. You know, when you see a police precinct blowing up, okay, you get it. When you see police cars blowing up, okay, you get it.

But, you know, don't go tap the black-owned businesses. Now, Twitter's also upset at LL Cool J, and they don't understand why he would question. He put out a tweet, imagine how people raising biracial children feel right now. This is crazy. So people were not understanding why he decided to come to Twitter with that thought.

And there was some backlash for that. The backlash was so strong that he actually went on Instagram Live to try to clarify what he meant. Here's what he said. But what you're not going to do is get me to just act like a moron or act like an idiot just for you to like me. Kiss my ass. I ain't doing that either. I'm not going to tell lies on Twitter or act like I don't have questions about things just to please you. I don't care if you like me or not.

Because there are a lot of like-minded people who do and who get it. And that's who I care about. You know, I don't like seeing LL not cool. Like, it can't just be LLJ. It's got to be LL Cool J at all times. On that video, he lost his cool. LL is an icon. You know what I'm saying? LL always seems to be in control in every situation. Even when you hear about people breaking in his house, he's in control, beating the person up, calling the police. It seems like he wasn't in control in that video. I don't like seeing LL

without the cool. Yeah. I'm not even still sure what he meant by in control in that video. I don't like seeing LL without the cool. Yeah, I'm not even still sure what he meant by that statement at that time. But, all right, now Jamel Hill. I get what he meant. Yeah, he was talking about biracial. He was saying, you know, you're on both sides of the fence. I guess that's what he was saying. But LL is always the person that stood up for our community. LL is always the person that made sure he took care of kids in our community.

So, you know, like Charlamagne said, you know, LL wilding out, like, you know, LL is too cool for that, man. He didn't look right. He just basically was saying that, you know, how do you have that conversation in a mixed household? If you got, you know, if you're a white mom with black kids, that's got to be a difficult conversation with a white husband. It's just got to be a difficult conversation. I don't know if that's the conversation you should be having now, but I get what he was saying. It just got to be on the side of right. It's not about that. For white people, if you have an issue with what happened, then you're on the side of right.

And so I don't think, you know, I don't know. It was just a weird statement to me, but I mean, I'm biracial and I was confused. He was just saying, I couldn't imagine being in that situation, being a parent in that situation. People got to stop breaking down what people say so to the bone. He had an opinion on something and had a thought. And just because he had a thought doesn't mean he's not for the cause. He's not for the people.

People take these things too far. Certain thoughts got to be fleshed out, though. It was just confusing to me. I just didn't understand it. I wasn't like, you're canceled, but I just really didn't understand it. Certain thoughts got to be fleshed out. That's all.

You can't just tweet things out randomly like that in the middle of the night. What do biracial kids feel? What? Out of nowhere with no context. With no context. All right. Oh, hello. Now, the NFL released a statement.

The NFL family is greatly saddened by the tragic events across our country. The protesters' reactions to these incidents reflect the pain, anger, and frustration that so many of us feel. Our deepest condolences go out to the family of Mr george floyd and to those who have lost loved ones including the families of miss brianna taylor and louisville and mr ahmaud arbery the cousin of tracy walker of the detroit lions and they went on to talk about the systemic issues with our players clubs and partners and continuing the important work to address those issues the nfl sent this out now jamelle tweeted out, you gotta be effing kidding me. And the NFL tweeting about what happened with George Floyd is the equivalent of when the CIA recognizes

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. Loved him so much, y'all helped to kill him. Get out of here with the BS. And Ava DuVernay said, the accuracy, the precision. And she said to the NFL, shame on you. This is beyond hollow and disingenuous this is a lie your actions show who you are you've done nothing but the exact opposite of what you describe here keep Mr. Floyd's name out of your mouth shame on you and the consultants of this

travesty of an organization yeah I mean that was the whole point of Colin Kaepernick taking a knee right you know and I mean by the way America uh Colin showed you the most peaceful respectful way to protest, and y'all didn't like or respect that either. So now since the things he was kneeling for continue to happen, the only language they understand is revolt. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Yeah, absolutely. Faith Evans was arrested also for allegedly attacking Stevie J, according to new reports. The police were called to their home in L.A. and upon their arrival, they saw that Stevie J had marks and scratches on his face. They said the two of them got into a very ugly screaming match and they don't know what it was about.

She was arrested for domestic violence and was released on bond hours later. All right. In addition to that, I got to hear both sides. Kylie Jenner and Kris Jenner are allegedly freaking out. And that's because Forbes is saying that she lied about being a billionaire. They actually put out an article. It was called Inside Kylie Jenner's Web of Lies and Why She's No Longer a Billionaire. According to Forbes, they said, you'll remember, they said that she's not worth as much in May of 2020. So they're saying in January, she sold 51% of Kylie Cosmetics to

the company Cody, which is a huge beauty company for $600 million. That would have put a value on the brand at around $1.2 billion because Cody is publicly traded though. Those financial documents and records must be disclosed. And what they are saying is the deal was not that much and revenues over a 12 month period before the deal was $17 much and revenues over a 12-month period before the deal was $177 million, which was far lower than the published estimates at the time. And in the piece, they're also saying that they feel like some of those documents that she gave them was forged. So Kylie Jenner has responded as she woke up and just acted like the whole thing was just lies. And she said, what am I even waking up to?

I thought this was a reputable site. All I see are a number of inaccurate statements and unproven assumptions. I've never asked for any title or tried to lie my way there ever, period. Even creating tax returns that were likely forged. That's your proof. So you just thought they were forged. So maybe she's not a billionaire. I guess we'll see.

Let me tell you something. It doesn't matter right now. Rich people, rich people problems. It doesn't matter right now, though. I wasted my time reading that article this weekend and it was so dumb. You know why? You know why? Because at the end of the article, it says it says she's not worth over a billion. She's worth a little under 900 million. Who cares? Okay. 40 plus million people unemployed, largest unemployment rate since the depression, people looting their asses off. And y'all want me to care that a person's not a billionaire, but they're worth a little under 900 million. That was worth a whole article. Man, stop, man. What's wrong with us, yo? Stupid, stupid, stupid.
