How are you feeling? What's up, Jess? How you feeling, Jess? Yo, how can I get my voice together in the morning to save my life? This baby is taking everything from me.
Starting point is 00:04:15 You don't sound like somebody's grandfather. This is crazy. Yeah, you sound like Joe Biden a little bit last night. He couldn't get his voice together either. Excuse me. I'm sorry. Yes. Last night, very interesting. Did you watch the debate last night
Starting point is 00:04:26 uh biden versus trump uh very hard to watch i had to watch with my subtitles on last night did you get a laugh or did you cry it was emotional there was a bunch of different laughs i actually watched it with uh three of my kids my 11 year old 10 year old and seven year old we were all in the bed watching it at one point point, my 7-year-old asked me, was Biden going to turn his brain on? Because it just seemed like he was all over the place. Oh, my God. Yeah, but that was the beginning.
Starting point is 00:04:53 That's when they first started. I guess he had a sore throat or a problem with his voice, so he was very hard to understand. Donald Trump sounded more assertive, but he sounded more assertive with lies. So it was like, you know, when somebody lies, he's just lying, but it's an assertive lie. But that's how it was.
Starting point is 00:05:13 You stupid. But that's how it was last night. I mean, at one point, I thought they were going to fight. Like, you know, he was like, how dare you? And it was like, it was getting there. And I was like, are these two old men going to fight on this stage? But they didn't. We'll talk about it more in depth if you've seen it last night.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Very entertaining. Very embarrassing to me for our country. It just didn't seem right. We're talking about somebody that's going to lead our country for the next four years. And I'll be honest, I didn't feel comfortable with any of them leading our country in the next four years. That's crazy but like they said people have been saying like well i've been saying to myself politics is like jokes these days it's more jokes than anything yeah but just what you know when you when you're dealing with politics these are the people that are supposed to be the leader of the
Starting point is 00:05:58 of the free country and they're supposed to be guiding us and and you know pushing us and pointing us in the right direction not just when it comes to war but when it comes to inflation when it comes to living when it comes to the world the earth and all that everything and i just it just i i i don't know i like i i'm sitting there watching and i'm like none of them really can complete a full sentence not that i can all the time as well but still they i'm not a president they're the president yeah they're the president yeah so it was very difficult we'll talk about it more but also last night was the nba draft that's what i watched yeah i've been watching that for the last two nights yeah night two congratulations to uh lebron and bronnie james bronnie james was drafted to the l to the lakers los angeles lakers uh The first time ever a father and son will be playing in the NBA
Starting point is 00:06:46 and on the same team. You know how difficult that is and how good first and foremost LeBron has to be to be at 40 and still being that good in the league. And the fact that his son just got drafted and people say, well, you know, he doesn't deserve it and this, that, and yada, yada, yada.
Starting point is 00:07:01 I mean, let's see what happens. You know what I was going to say, you never know. They might pop out and show. That's right. Yeah. So we got a lot to discuss this morning. And Don Peebles will be joining us. Don Peebles has the Brooklyn Village Development Project.
Starting point is 00:07:14 He's going to be talking about politics. We're going to be talking to him about a lot later on today. All right. And we're going to open up the phone line to speak to you guys in a little bit. So let's get the show cracking. We got a new record, right? Offset and Gunna. Shout out to Offset. offset it's called style rare it's the breakfast club good morning morgan when we come back front page news let's go offset gonna shop the set morning everybody

Starting point is 00:07:50 Happy Friday, y'all. So this will be a great way to kick off the weekend. Let's just go ahead and get this over with. The first presidential debate is in the books, and it was certainly not like anything we've seen before on the debate stage. See how I'm stumbling over my words? Anyway, Democrats and Republicans for once would probably agree that this was not it. Now, President Biden stumbled over his words
Starting point is 00:08:12 and it's sparking concern among Democrats over his age and his ability to take on former President Donald Trump in the November election. Let's hear a few clips from last night's debate of Biden tripping over his word. Biden stumbling. The total initiative relative to what we're going to do with more border patrol and more asylum officers.
Starting point is 00:08:34 I really don't know what he said at the end of this. I don't think he knows what he said either. eligible for what i've been able to do with the uh with the covet excuse me with um dealing with everything we have to do with uh look if we finally beat medicare yeah so that was just not a good look for the president commencement speeches was better than how your commencement speech at the college is better than your debate just at that point right there was that was when my daughter was like is he gonna turn his brain on at that point right there and i'm sitting there like jesus christ now i must admit or uh report that you know it or it is reported that biden had a cold and to your point he actually did uh uh had
Starting point is 00:09:20 a lot more energy at his post rally after the fact. You know what I mean? He had a lot. So there's that. Meanwhile, back to the debate, former president Trump, he deflected his actions during the attack on the U S Capitol and ignored a lot of questions. Biden said,
Starting point is 00:09:34 Trump encouraged the crowd to go to Capitol Hill and did nothing for hours during the riot. He added that Trump wants to commute sentences of those convicted in the attack. Trump pushed back, arguing he told his supporters to protest peacefully and patriotically. Let's hear more of that audio from the debate about January 6th. He sat there for three hours, three hours watching, begging, being begged by his vice president
Starting point is 00:09:59 and a number of his colleagues on the Republican side as well to do something, to call for a stop, to end it. Well, I didn't say that to anybody. I said peacefully and patriotically. I recall stand back and stand by or something like that. You know, Trump also dismissed accusations that he had an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels, although that was already proven in court. Let's more from biden and um or more from biden on trump's conviction think of all the civil penalties you have how many billions of dollars do you own civil penalties for for molesting a woman in public for doing a whole range of things of having sex with a porn star on the night while your wife was pregnant now um, look, I want to be like, how much more time we got, y'all?
Starting point is 00:10:47 I knew it was over before it began, but I knew it was really over. When they started talking about golf, did y'all hear that? They wanted to talk about their golf game while us, the American people, are sitting here trying to figure out what is going on with our country. So let's hear more of that audio about their golf game. I just won two club championships, not even senior, two regular club championships. So let's hear more of that audio about their golf game. Look, I'd be happy to have a driving contest with him. The reason I got my handicap was when I was vice president down to a six. And by the way, I told you before, I'm happy to play golf if you carry your own bag. Think you can do it?
Starting point is 00:11:36 What? What is going on? What? This is highly embarrassing to have our leaders of America, right? The free country talking about, hey, I can golf. That's how you know I'm in shape. Hey, I can golf. My handicap is better.
Starting point is 00:11:51 I bet you can't carry your own bags. Like, what are we talking about? What are we discussing? And I'm very and I'm very upset with the Democrats. And I'll tell you why. If you knew that he wasn't prepared, that his voice wasn't right, that how this would look for for him and other Democrats out there. Sometimes you just got to say, no, we're not going to do it. And it wouldn't look weak because all they had to do is say, look, no, we're not going to debate somebody who's a liar.
Starting point is 00:12:16 We're not going to debate somebody that's just going to not not talk about facts, but just talk about fiction. So because of that, we're going to pull by. We're going to pull Biden out. I wouldn't have I wouldn have had a problem with that. Now, some people would have been like, yeah, he's scared, but I would rather that than what I seen last night. Yeah, because now this confirms, you know, what we thought or what a lot of people thought was actually confirmed last night.
Starting point is 00:12:37 Now, it is being talked about that there's a possibility. I'm not sure how, you know, accurate or how, but there is a possibility that, or at least the'm not sure how you know accurate or how but there is a possibility that or at least the discussion is that you know they the democratic party should reconsider the ticket i mean there's still time too late now it is way too late there's nobody that they can get up there that that can actually run and win in what less than four or five months i don't think that that that's a solution but i mean i really don't know what happens now because if there is another debate there has to be they have to show that maybe he'd had a cold maybe he had a sore
Starting point is 00:13:09 throat maybe he's better than that but what i seen last night was was from both of them were horrible yeah we want to talk more about it next hour or absolutely switch gears okay yeah all right thank you margaret we'll see in a little bit everybody else it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Let us know how your day was yesterday, what's on your mind, what your thoughts are. We're going to open up the phone lines in a little bit, too, if you see any debate and you want to have some discussion. Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Starting point is 00:13:55 What's up? What's up? Good morning, Evie. What's up, Jess? Listen, man, we got the president arguing about a golf match. This is insane. I don't know what we're about to do these next four years, but it ain't looking too good for america i thought it was embarrassing last night just both of them actually honestly you know biden with with him having a problem completing a sentence and and trump uh lying on on pretty much everything that he said he sounded like an assertive lie which makes him believable but it just seemed bad last night i was just very very uh just felt very embarrassed for the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Yeah, man, I just wanted everybody to pray for us because as long as we're here, it looks like we're about to be under some bold, bold, bold people. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:15:00 Paulo Frost. Good luck, brother. Appreciate it, Emmy. Have a good one. Hello, who's this tony hey tony good morning get it off your chest man you guys can't help but show y'all bias i mean after last night everybody saw what was happening then the lady was talking about the golf the reason that came up because they asked trump about his physical fitness that a lot of americans feel like because of their age will they be physically fit to do for years? And the man was just basically saying that,
Starting point is 00:15:29 hey, man, I've had two times in the past, I shoot, I do golf. I mean, that's how it came up. But you guys make it sound like this is too crazy to approach this topic about golf. That's not the point. I don't know if you heard, but that's exactly what I said. I said they were talking about how in shape they would be. And he said, yeah, I have
Starting point is 00:15:45 a golf game. I could actually play golf and swing. And then Biden came back and said, oh, I could play golf too. I definitely said that that was the reason why. And then he said, hey, at least I could carry my own bag. Yeah, that was their way of showing that they were physically fit and that they actually can move around and walk around. But I said... It's not even about being biased.
Starting point is 00:16:01 It's like it ended up being an argument about golf. Not even about being biased. It's like it ended up being an argument about golf. Oh, no. Not even physical. Come on now, Jess. Jess, you know, we love you out here, Jess. But come on now. It's all about Democrats. This thing is all you guys is about Democrats. I mean, not you, Jess.
Starting point is 00:16:18 You know, you can't say me. But I know that you're funny, though. I know that. But I know that every morning I listen to the day. Especially Charlotte. I know Charlotte, man. But that boy, how it was broken last night. See how his boy did last night.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Well, Charlotte may not have a boy. That's one thing I would say. He's not here today, but he doesn't have a boy. You know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about. I don't. That's what I'm asking. But I think they both were bad last night.
Starting point is 00:16:44 That's what I meant by that. I think they both look bad last night. That's what I meant by that. I wasn't talking about, you know. But no, I think you guys should leave it like, balanced, man. You know what I'm saying? I mean, you guys always point at one side. And obviously that one side is not going in this time. I mean, look at our country, man.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Look what's going on. We all look... Every day you're talking about a nuclear war. Come on, man. Y what's going on. I've been listening to his stuff every day. He's talking about a nuclear war. Come on, man. Y'all cannot hate Trump more than you love. I mean, I got young boys. I got my youngest son at 16.
Starting point is 00:17:16 I mean, I'm worried about one day is he going to be forced to go into war? I mean, come on, guys. You guys can't hate one man more than you love the country and more than... Come on, man. Well, you know you're listening to The Breakfast Club. And it's the thing which I don't understand. It's like when you talk about somebody that's running for president, things that you like, things that you don't like, people say, oh, you riding for this person. We have been critical up here on this radio against Joe Biden. We have been critical on this radio against things that Trump has said.
Starting point is 00:17:46 We talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly with all of them. And I say last night, they were both embarrassing to me. To me that watched that last night, I thought they were both embarrassing. But get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:18:00 If you need to vent, let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I'm darling. I'm dialing. I'm dialing. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm dialing.
Starting point is 00:18:11 I'm calling. I'm calling, yo. 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, this is Toy Every Day. How's it going? Hey, what's up? Get it off your chest. Hey, first off, man, this? Hey, this is Toy Everyday. How's it going?
Starting point is 00:18:25 Hey, what's up? Get it off your chest. Hey, first off, man, I just want to let Jess Hilarious know we love you because you still one of us. You ain't making for them Hollywood G-Ditty parties yet. You know what I mean? We want to tell you thank you so much for keeping it real because what you said yesterday to that lady when she was talking about her seven-year-old being in a movie theater by theater by herself we all knew what you wanted to say you didn't even have to say you already know
Starting point is 00:18:49 i appreciate that now for real and the second thing i did have a question from uh it's a oh one of your just missed my mess you said that uh you know sometimes even you've got it led with money when you talk to somebody as a man man, how do you not do that? Because, like, you don't want to come off as a scrub. You don't want the girl to start thinking that you her hero or you're going to be coming to favor right off the bat, you know? Yeah, no, you don't. Because then that's how they take advantage of you, straight up.
Starting point is 00:19:16 You know, you can't. You just got to lead with how you feel. It shouldn't even have anything to do with money. Because if she don't like you she ain't gonna like you but if you give a reason to like you and that reason is money that's not that's not how you lead and let me just tell you how you feel let me just correct something right fast so before you continue on uh you earlier you just said that jess didn't attend any of the diddy parties in hollywood i have not attended any of diddy parties in
Starting point is 00:19:42 hollywood neither has charlamagne so don't put yo don't try uh uh you right well that's why we love y'all cause y'all still you know what I mean y'all still

Starting point is 00:20:08 Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. Good morning, Jess. Good morning. I just want to say this, man. The Democrats, I just want to say it's a Democratic party. I'm getting sick of them pissing on us telling us it's raining. Because they talking about that man got a cold.
Starting point is 00:20:23 That man got dementia, man. The man is old. He's fragile. He was forgetting what he was talking about. The man got dementia, man. And black people are going to go down there and vote for this crazy, cool man. Bro, no, bro. They need to retire by now, bro.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Last night I was watching that. I was disgusted. I said, man, this is America. We got a deal with dementia and a convicted felon running for president. It was sad. It's very sad because if you don't like either candidate, and I think most
Starting point is 00:20:54 people don't, it's like, well, what do you do at this point? Last night, that debate showed me that I, and this is going to sound crazy, I don't want either of them running my country. I want either one. I don't want either one of them running my country. Like I said, you have an assertive liar. Donald Trump, he's assertive.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Like, he believes his own lies. Like, it got to a point one time I was like, yeah. And then I thought about it. I'm like, no, this is lying. Like, he don't want to make me believe it. And then with Biden, it's like, I had to, it's going to sound foul, but this is the truth. I actually had to turn the subtitles on on my television to see what he was saying. Fact.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Yes, fact. I had to do the same thing. Hey, Charlamagne not in today. No, Charlamagne not in today, man. Oh, man, on the wrong day. He take off. He get caught. I'll see if he can call.

Starting point is 00:22:42 And earlier this week she was talking about How Jeffrey Dahmer was her dream dinner date. Well, I think Charlamagne gave her donkey today. I was going to report it, but he gave her donkey today, as he should have. So now the family of one of the victims, Tony Hughes, is speaking up. That's actually the deaf and mute man who was killed by Dahmer after meeting him at a gay bar in 1991. That's actually the one that he actually fell in love with too, and he was hesitant to kill, but the killer in him just had to slaughter this man.

Starting point is 00:29:17 spoke up when the Netflix show Monster was released because they said they were blindsided by the show and they were not notified that it was being released so they feel like they were done wrong done wrong and you know more than one way yeah that's that was truly sad yeah but that's why she got dunked in today because that was absolutely clowned out for her to be like oh yeah i didn't her day and then the fact that you said it when you were a kid it's crazy you know so that's weird um shaq's mom says that her her son's former marriage wasn't the right relationship so look basketball legends steph curry and shaquille o'neal's mom they have a podcast coming up correct lord everybody i wonder if this is one of them black jobs
Starting point is 00:30:05 that um that down shop was talking about yeah maybe maybe yeah um both of the moms were on sway in the morning uh his morning show and they were there discussing raising fame and they opened up about experiences as mothers to the sports icon but during the sit-down sway had asked Shaq's mom um what her thoughts were about meeting Shawnee Henderson uh her son's former wife well ex-wife and um during the early days of their relationship this is what she talked about well before then I had already gotten to the place where my place is secure I don't care who we marry or who we get with. I know my place and I'm secure in it. But it's hard to see them go into a relationship and somehow you may feel maybe that might not be the right relationship.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Yeah. But we have to step back and we have to let it happen. And I tell a lot of the mothers, we're going to remain their mothers as long as they live. We are not their girlfriends. Yes. So I'm safe in my place. I actually do respect what she said. You know, it's a lot of moms that get into their son's business.
Starting point is 00:31:15 It's like, you know, we got Mama D. I don't care. We had Mama Jones. We didn't we didn't seen the moms step in a lot. But I'm not mad at that, though, because, you know, I feel like sometimes you need mom moms step in a lot but i'm not mad at that though because you know i feel like sometimes you need mom to step in because maybe you know mom sees something that you don't and maybe it may be in that situation with shack if mom stepped in maybe he wouldn't have got married maybe he wouldn't have to go through that divorce but he also wouldn't have
Starting point is 00:31:38 those beautiful kids that he does have so right you know sometimes i feel like i would want mom to step in i know my kids will want mom and dad to step in and be like, hey, this ain't right. Maybe you see something that they might not agree with me and they might go tell me to F off. But I think sometimes I think that is needed. But to a certain degree, though, yo, because sometimes moms are the reason that divorces happen. You're right. Sometimes, you know, you got the mommy's boys that are so up under their mom's boob that they can't make decisions for themselves. That's Logan.
Starting point is 00:32:08 You have a lot of, you know, that's Logan. Don't do that. That's Logan, though. Logan needs mom for every decision. I mean, I appreciate it because moms got him the right way. But, yeah, I mean, he is that young man. But how's Ashton with you? Is Ashton one of those kids where he's like, now mom has to make a decision or are you in his business like that or no um as of right now

Starting point is 00:33:22 alright now when we come back we got front page news Morgan Wood will be joining us And did you watch the debate last night Did you see it Did you watch the whole 90 minutes of it What were your thoughts 800-585-1051 let's discuss Let's have a round table what did you think about it
Starting point is 00:33:37 What did you think about Donald Trump What did you think about Joe Biden What did you think about the moderators We'll discuss in depth after front page news It's the Breakfast Club good morning You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ and VJ Salarian.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. Both of y'all looking distressed. Yeah, I'm glad that the weekend is here because I don't know what that was last night. So more on the first presidential debate. Both candidates, Trump and Biden, hurled personal insults at one another and accused each other of being the worst president in U.S. history. President Biden called Donald Trump a sucker and a loser during the debate. During the debate,
Starting point is 00:34:14 Biden referenced remarks Trump allegedly made about dead American soldiers. He was referring to Trump's former White House chief of staff, John Kelly, who says Trump called dead military members suckers back in 2018, which Trump denies. Let's hear more of that audio from the debate. He was standing with his four star general and he told me, he said, I don't want to go in there because they're a bunch of losers and suckers. My son was not a loser, was not a sucker. You're the sucker.
Starting point is 00:34:38 You're the loser. Everything he does is a lie. It's misinformation and disinformation. Listen, don't talk about bo okay because that's when trump that's when biden gets real hype that's what i thought they were gonna fight last night when he said my son is not a sucker i said oh they're about to fight you see that yes then he went right back to sleep go ahead yeah go moving on donald trump is going after president biden on immigration policies he says his border policy is resulting in american
Starting point is 00:35:04 deaths he accused biden of opening up the border and allowing dangerous people in the country. Let's hear more from the debate on immigration. We had the safest border in the history of our country. All he had to do was leave it. All he had to do was leave it. He decided to open up our border, open up our country to people that are from prisons.
Starting point is 00:35:23 When he was president, he was taking, separating babies from their mothers, putting them in cages, making sure the families are separated. That's not the right way to go. Yeah, so they were talking and also related that to the opioid crisis, or Trump said that his immigration policies would have stopped the flow. And he mentioned special dogs that his border agents use to detect drugs. Now, Biden said he could have had a better chance of fighting the drug flow if the bipartisan immigration bill had passed. Now, moving on, the two candidates were clashing over abortion, which is a huge issue. Trump took credit for the Supreme Court's decision to strike down Roe v. Wade, arguing the issue should be left up to the states. But he also added that he believes in exceptions for abortion, for cases of rape and incest.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Let's hear more on the candidates on the topic of abortion. I believe in the exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. I think it's very important. Some people don't follow your heart. I put three great Supreme Court justices on the court, and they happened to vote in favor of killing Roe v. Wade and moving it back to the states. This is something that everybody wanted. The idea that states are able to do this is a little like saying, we're going to turn civil rights back to the states, let each state have a different rule.
Starting point is 00:36:40 There's a lot of young women being raped by by their by their in-laws by their by by their spouses brothers and sisters by oh it's just it's just ridiculous and they can do nothing about it i mean you could you could hear in his voice how much he was struggling what he was saying was absolutely right but he they're trying to get his point across was was very difficult for him last night and and like i said earlier i feel like uh his team uh let him down and when i say his team let him down is you know you put joe biding on in front of millions last night and you knew he had this debate and you knew that uh whether he was prepared or not he sounded like he was prepared but he wasn't going to be able to get his point across the right way and how america
Starting point is 00:37:19 would look at him how the world would look at him and sometimes you just have to say you know what we're not doing this debate and i wouldn't have took it wrong if they would have said look we're not doing it we don't want to debate with a liar how could you possibly debate with somebody that does not have the facts or just makes things up i would have respected that more because what i seen last night uh i seen somebody that just did not look right it looks like my my tv was lagging at times last night uh it looked like uh i thought at one time he was going to pass out up there. It just didn't look right. It looked highly embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:37:51 So, yeah, his vice president, Vice President Kamala Harris, she's defending President Biden's debate performance. Speaking with MSNBC following the event, Harris said she felt like Biden had a slow start but a strong finish. Let's hear more from the VP. What we had in Joe Biden is someone who wanted to have a debate based on facts, based on truth. And in Donald Trump, we had what we have come to expect, which is someone who is going to push lies and distract from the reality of the damage he has created and continues to create in our country. Let's not forget, when he was president of the the united states he said that if a national abortion
Starting point is 00:38:26 ban was sent to his desk he would sign it he said that as maya angelou told us a long time ago when people tell you who they are take them at their word believe them now the vp sounds warm and cuddly she sounds like she's assertive she sounds like she knows what he's talking about but last night that debate was a lack of substance. They didn't discuss many policy issues at all. I mean, the constant interruptions, the personal attacks. I mean, Trump called Biden not smart and a puppet of the radical left. Biden told Trump that he was a clown. I guess he got that from you, Jess. And he also told him to shut up. It just it just was very, very embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:39:06 They weren't answering questions. It was just highly embarrassing last night to watch that. Yeah, just to wrap this whole thing up, the fact that they were, you know, one question that really stuck out to me is basically, what have you done for black people, black Americans, that the moderators ask both candidates. So Biden touted gains in lower health care costs for black Americans. He also pointed to 50 billion dollars he designated for historically black colleges and universities trump said black people are being hurt most by high inflation and that he claims biden ignited that inflation he added that biden's immigration policies have amounted to the loss of jobs in black communities which he equated to black jobs and trump also said that biden has also lost black voters that he has gained in this election cycle. Let's hear more from the candidates about the black jobs. There's more to be done, considerably more to be done, but we've done a great deal so far and I'm
Starting point is 00:39:56 not letting up and they know it. The fact of the matter is there's more small black businesses that have been started than any time in history. Number two, the wages of black unemployment is the lowest level it's been in a long, long time. He caused the inflation, and it's killing black families and Hispanic families and just about everybody. It's killing people. They can't buy groceries anymore. They can't, you look at the cost of food where it's doubled and tripled and quadrupled. They can't live the fact is that his big kill on the black people is the millions of people that he's allowed to come in through the border they're taking black jobs now and it could be 18 it could be 19 and even 20 million people
Starting point is 00:40:39 they're taking black jobs and they're taking hispanic jobs what's a black job I'm not going to hold you I was with him with the inflation I was with him with until he said they're taking black jobs I don't know what a black job is Trump the NAACP wants to know DNC chairman Jamie Harrison wants to know. The Black Pack Political Group wants to know. Jess, we all out here trying to figure it out, too. Yeah, it's a thing. So the second presidential debate. Yes.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Can you believe they're going to do another one? Oh, gosh. It's scheduled for Tuesday, September 10th on ABC. So we will see. But right now, I'm just like who knew? Listen, I just report the news. I don't make it, y'all. I'm sorry. Thank you so much, Morgan. You have a good weekend.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Thank you, you too. Be sure to follow me at Morgan Media and be sure you're following the Black Information Network at Black Information Network and check us out at BINnews.com. Y'all have a great weekend. You too. Now let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Did you watch the debate last night?
Starting point is 00:41:48 What were your thoughts? Did you watch it as a family, as a community? I watched it with my kids last night. I had my 11-year-old, my 10, and my 7-year-old in the bed, me and my wife. And we watched it. And just to see their reaction because they don't know much about what they hear, right? So the first thing my son was like, all right, Donald Trump versus Sleepy Joe. And I'm like, Sleepy Joe. I'm like, where do you get Sleepy Joe?
Starting point is 00:42:09 Like, Dad, that's what everybody calls him, Sleepy Joe. And I'm sitting there like, this is embarrassing. Yeah. And kids don't have no filter. They're going to point out what they see. None. My seven year old was like, Dad, when is he going to turn his brain on? I'm like, this is I'm embarrassed. But let's discuss. What were your thoughts last night? Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. I'm embarrassed. But let's discuss. What were your thoughts last night? 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're opening up the phone lines 800-585-1051. We're asking about the debate last night. Did you watch it? What were your thoughts? Before we get into it, there were some rules that they about the debate last night. Did you watch it? What were your thoughts? Before we get into it, there was some there was some rules that they had to follow last
Starting point is 00:42:49 night. And part of the rules were one when one speaks, the other one's mic was cut off so there wouldn't be that many interruptions. They had two minutes to actually answer the question and then a minute after to rebut. But if you watch it last night, they pretty much did what they wanted to do. They answer the questions when they wanted to answer the questions. Trump did exactly what he wanted to do. He didn't answer much of anything. And here's some, if you missed the debate, here's some of the things they were talking about. This is them talking about abortion.
Starting point is 00:43:16 I believe in the exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother. I think it's very important. Some people don't follow Follow your heart. I put three great Supreme Court justices on the court, and they happened to vote in favor of killing Roe v. Wade and moving it back to the states. This is something that everybody wanted. The idea that states are able to do this is a little like saying, we're going to turn civil rights back to the states. Let each state have a different rule. There's a lot of young women to be raped by their in-laws, by their spouses, brothers and sisters. It's just ridiculous, and they can do nothing about it. Now, this was them talking about immigration.
Starting point is 00:43:58 We had the safest border in the history of our country. All he had to do was leave it. All he had to do was leave it all he had to do is leave it he decided to open up our border open up our country to people that are from prisons when he was president he was taking separating babies from their mothers putting them in cages making sure they were none of the families were separated that's not the right way to go now it got nasty when they started talking about losers and suckers and they started talking about when a trump allegedly called the people inside quote unquote losers and suckers and this is what trump and biden had to say about it he was standing with his four-star
Starting point is 00:44:34 general and he told me he said i don't want to go in there because they're a bunch of losers and suckers my son was not a loser was not a sucker you're the the sucker. You're the loser. If everything he does is a lie, it's misinformation and disinformation. And this is when it got nasty again, when I guess there was a couple of parts last night when I couldn't understand what Biden was saying. I had to have the subtitles on on my phone, on my TV. And Trump was saying that he didn't understand what he was saying. The total initiative relative to what we're gonna do with more border patrol and more asylum officers. I really don't know what he said at the end of this sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either. Eligible for what I've been able to do with the COVID, excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with, look, if we finally beat Medicare.
Starting point is 00:45:30 What did you think of it last night? I just thought it was crazy. It seemed like a retirement home rent. It did. After a while. I felt like if he was sick, you know what I'm saying? If that was the case, you know, because politics is always be lying. I mean, I don't know, you know, because I know that they were saying after that he had more energy.
Starting point is 00:45:52 And he was actually more alive. Like what it was like after. Yep. Situation. I don't want to call it a post debate. Yeah. Post debate. If he had more energy, I just don't think he was ready.
Starting point is 00:46:02 But if y'all know that and this is already the president, it's like, like like like you said envy why wouldn't y'all just pull him out and just not do it so look real quick i don't know if this is gonna sound dumb and i don't care kamala couldn't do that she couldn't step in for him well no vice president well no she couldn't because it was about president so it was biden versus uh trump she spoke after uh after the debate and she sounded amazing she sounded eloquent she sounded smart she she got her point across she sounded the way that i felt like that debate should have sounded but like i said i felt like the debate uh the the democrats really let the democrats down right his team let the democrats down and the reason i said that is you know we've seen how
Starting point is 00:46:40 biden looked last night we've seen what the world has been saying about biden that he looks weak that he looks like he has dementia and honestly that debate last night. We've seen what the world has been saying about Biden, that he looks weak, that he looks like he has dementia. And honestly, that debate last night proved it. It proved that he looks he doesn't look 100%. And if I knew that my team member, if I knew that I was handling that campaign and I knew that Biden
Starting point is 00:46:57 was like that, I would have pulled it. I would have dropped it. I would have canceled the debate. And I would have said, well, maybe we can't debate with a liar. It makes no sense to debate with a liar. I would have did everything, but I would not have wanted to have canceled the debate and i would have said well maybe we can't debate with a liar that makes no sense to debate with a liar i would have did everything but i would not have wanted to have the president that is supposed to be that we want to that people we want people to vote for to be up there looking like that and at that point is worth the rumors right because you know people would say oh he was scared or oh he he can't handle it or something like that even trump would have said that but would that be worth, you would take that
Starting point is 00:47:26 over him actually going to do what he did last night? Absolutely. I think this makes him look worse. It makes him look weak and it's embarrassing. Yeah. To actually have him go through with it than just to pull out. Yep. Well, let's go to the phone lines. We got a lot of people on the line. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is
Starting point is 00:47:41 TT from Jersey. Hey, TT from Jersey. What did you think about the debate last night? I just want to know, is he a robot, Joe Biden? Because he came out doing a robot, and it really makes me scared for this country. He ain't do no robot. He ain't do no robot, damn. His arm was not moving. I don't remember the guy from a long time ago who had the pin in his hand. I don't remember the guy from a long time ago who had like the pin in his hand. I don't remember
Starting point is 00:48:06 his name, but he looked like he needed a pencil hole to keep his arm up. I'm scared for this country. Oh my goodness. So now he's a puppet. Now he needed a string to keep his arm up. That's what you're saying, Titi? No, don't lie. DJ NBHX, he looked like a robot. Don't lie. Goodbye, Titi.

Starting point is 00:54:16 Like, he had to close his eyes, barely could talk. That's our president. I'm scared, because I damn sure ain't voting for Donald Trump. So I got to figure out what I got to do. Oh, that's my dog. I'm sorry. That's all right. I mean, it was very sad watching it last night.
Starting point is 00:54:30 I did fall asleep at times. And my kids had to wake me up. But, you know, I feel, I just feel like what we expected and what we wanted to happen last night was the total opposite, right? We wanted to see a strong Joe Biden. We wanted to see somebody that was powerful. We wanted to see somebody that was going to be combative against Donald Trump and put Donald Trump in his place. That's what I expected last night. And all I got last night was it felt like
Starting point is 00:54:51 an older grandfather that was on his last leg. That's what I seen last night. That barely could talk. He could not talk. Alright, well thank you Toya. Alright, thank you. We have Clark on the line. Clark, good morning. Yo, good morning. Hey, what did you think about
Starting point is 00:55:07 the debate last night? How do I debunk this? How do I prove that he's lying about that while also saying what I've done for the last three and a half years while also trying to say what I would do for the next four years within 90 seconds? It's a lot for an old man.
Starting point is 00:55:24 And that's why I say we need to do better to make sure we don't get to this point in the next four years within 90 seconds. It's a lot for old men. And that's why I say we need to do better to make sure we don't get to this point in the next four years because if Trump loses, he's just going to run again. If we don't vote for the right person to supplement Biden, who will we end up with after Biden?
Starting point is 00:55:39 And you said he didn't have the time, but the problem is you prepared for this. It's not like this was just, okay, let's have a debate on Monday and let's do it right now. He prepared. He knew he had two minutes to talk. He knew what Trump was going to attack him on. He knew all of this, so it's not like it was a surprise and, oh, my God, I didn't know Trump was going to say that. His team prepared him.
Starting point is 00:55:57 His team sat his ass down and said, you have two minutes to do this and then a minute to rebut, and you have to attack Trump and talk about the things that you have done. He knew. He had time to prepare he took a week off of of campaigning just to prepare for this so it's not like he was oh he didn't know how to handle it he knew he had a whole week to prepare so i can't sit there with the oh he didn't know and i'm not saying that i feel trump was way better i just felt that they both were pretty embarrassing my opinion 800-585-1051 did you watch the debate last night let's discuss it's the breakfast club good morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us we're talking about the debate last night it was a 90 minute to a debate and to me it was very
Starting point is 00:56:41 embarrassing um i seen two candidates in there that look like grandpas that acted like children last night. Joe Biden was very difficult for him to speak and to understand what he was saying. I had to have the subtitles on on the TV just to understand. I felt like his Democratic Party
Starting point is 00:56:59 should have pulled last night. I mean, we've been talking about his age for the longest. We've been talking about the fact that people think that he has dementia we've been talking about the fact that people say that he can't get a a a thought across when it comes to speaking and i think a lot of that was proved last night uh donald trump he lied about damn near everything he was an assertive liar he sounded assertive lying though like it sounded to the point where you know when somebody lies so much you start believing their own lie yeah that that's what i felt last night i felt like they should have pulled that like if i wouldn't have been upset you know they say he had a cold and he
Starting point is 00:57:32 lost his voice but all these things matter when people see joe biden when they see their president and if they knew it was gonna look a little crazy if they knew it was gonna look a little froggy i wouldn't have been mad at them canceling and say, you know what? We thought about it. We don't want to debate a liar. There's no fact checking. There's no nothing. And he could just, you know, spew lies all day long. I wouldn't have been mad at that.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Yeah. A lot of people on the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Hello. Who's this? Hey, this is Alicia from San Antonio, Texas. What's going on, MV? What's going on, Jess?
Starting point is 00:58:02 Hey, Alicia. Hello. Good morning, girl. What do you think about the debate last night? What's going on? Well, I's going on, Jess? Hey, Alicia. Hello. Good morning, girl. What do you think about the debate last night? What's going on? Well, I had a different point of view. So I saw it from, because I'm big on women's rights. And one thing I noticed is that with respect to every time they mentioned anything with women,
Starting point is 00:58:17 it only had to do with child care or abortion or if they were raped, right? But when they were mentioning soldiers overseas or doctors or if you notice each candidate is a president, go back and watch it. They said he with every pronoun. So one thing I noticed is that each candidate doesn't really recognize women as equal to men because each time they mentioned like oh it's soldier overseas oh these men are dying i was like well men and women yeah both right or or doctors he was like well these doctors they should be able to go to him and get their care and i was like
Starting point is 00:58:57 him or her like nobody was catching that and i was like wait hold on pause so that's one thing i noticed is they weren't recognizing women for anything other than either having a baby or abortion or child care. No, you're absolutely right. Now that I'm looking back at it. But you know what that usually comes from? That comes from an old way of thinking. And when you have two damn near 80 year old men up there, you know, talking politics and talking their lives. That's that's the way that older gentlemen used
Starting point is 00:59:25 to think you know if you had younger people up there i'm sure it would be him or her i'm sure it would be yeah you go to the doctor to see him or her you know our soldiers uh men and women you know so i think you get that with with the age of the individuals that were up there debating that was something interesting and you know good to point out because that's absolutely right. Well, yeah, because it just shows their ideal way of thinking. And I mean, like to Envy's point, we have fossils up here running for
Starting point is 00:59:53 our presidential debate. Maybe we should think about maybe reforming the Constitution because the age limit, I mean, it starts at, what, 48? You can't run until you're even 50. Maybe we should rethink that. I wish you. Thank you, Mama. Have a great weekend starts at, what, 48? You can't run until you're even 50. Maybe we should rethink that. I wish you. Thank you, Mama. Have a great weekend. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 01:00:09 Hello, this is Nalisha. Hey, Nalisha. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, everyone. So, my thoughts on the debate is I totally think that it was a waste of a debate. And the reason why I feel that way is because I feel like they did not answer any questions that was being asked.
Starting point is 01:00:26 And instead of answering questions and trying to show us about how they can help us with the future and how they're going to help us change America, all they did was bash each other. All they did was try to put each other down. All they did was go back and forth with each other. The lady would ask a question and all they would do was say, hold on, let me just sit back to him and answer what, you know, respond to what he said. And they'll waste their time answering. They'll waste their time going back and forth about what the other person said
Starting point is 01:00:54 instead of answering the question. So here we are. Like, I just felt like, honestly, if it's down to these two people to become our president, we're doomed. Because if we have to depend on these two people to lead our nation, and they were acting childish the way they were last night at that debate, we're doomed. Because if we have to depend on these two people to lead our nation, and they were acting childish the way they were last night at that debate, we're doomed. I agree. And the moderators, you know, they tried
Starting point is 01:01:11 to ask the questions, but when you have two presidents, well, one former president, one president up there with their own, they had their own thing that they wanted to say. Their own agenda of how they wanted to come across, their own agenda how they wanted to attack. So they really didn't care about the questions and care about the things that they said they wanted to prove a point uh trump was just trying to embarrass biden he was trying to
Starting point is 01:01:33 take shots at biding and i think biden was trying to defend himself many times and try to explain the things that he has done the problem with with you know they said he had a cold they said he had a a bad a bad throat voice, whatever it was. But he just wasn't getting his point across the right way. And I just feel like at one point we have to say, you know what? I'm not going to let my guy go up there like that and look like that. We know what the world has been saying about his age. We know what the world has been saying about dementia.
Starting point is 01:02:00 And if they've been practicing with him and going over the debate with him for the last week and they know how it was going to come out, I wouldn't be mad if you just pulled it and said, hey, no, we don't want to debate against the liar. We're not having a fact checking. If we can fact check things, then I want to debate. But he's just going to go up there and spew lies. And I don't want to debate against that. I don't I don't think people would have been like, oh, I don't I don't think they would have called Biden's a sucker or saw off and said he was running. They would have been like, I agree. You know me. But have called Biden a sucker or saw off and said he was running. They would have been like, I agree. You know what I mean? But instead, I think they had him up there looking kind of crazy. They did.
Starting point is 01:02:30 And they gave Trump the opportunity to do that. Why give him the opportunity to even be put in opposition to bash Biden or, you know, put him down and make him look stupid? Just tell him. We're not doing this. I'm not even going to give you the opportunity to do that in front of millions of people. Well, thank you so much. Thank you so much, Mom. Hello, who's this? This is Tony. Hey, Tony.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Good morning. What's up, DJ Envy? How you doing, man? I'm doing well. How you doing, brother? What you think about the debate last night? Man, I think we in trouble. I think the whole country's in trouble. We got a choice between senior senile sightless Joe Budden, trouble we got a choice between senior senile uh sightless joe budden and we got
Starting point is 01:03:07 uh dictator donald j trump uh both horrible choices both horrible old men uh i i think you know if we think about the greater scammy things you got to think you got to remember that donald trump is still the one that did not want to lead the White House. And he you know, if he gets elected again, claims he'd be, you know, breaking all kind of constitutional laws, targeting people. You know, it's just bad. I think you got to choose between the lesser evils. And I think at this point, Joe Biden's team that he put together is the lesser evil, not Joe Biden himself. He can't do nothing with that all right well thank you tony all right man thank you people sound depressed this morning i mean like i said i watched it last night with my kids in the bed and and sometimes
Starting point is 01:03:55 kids are the best because you know they don't know much about it so they're trying to understand it and you know my son jackson was like all right well this is versus trump and sleepy joe i'm like well why are you calling sleepy joe he's like everybody calls sleepy joe he always looks like he's sleeping and then and then watching it last night it was like dad when is when is uh the president gonna turn his brain on like and i'm sitting there and i'm like jesus christ and these are like innocent kids but you know they have no filter so it's like you know they tell the nature like what they see he's sleepy he's sleepy well we'll see what happens the next debate goes down tuesday september 10th at 9 p.m so we'll see if that
Starting point is 01:04:31 happens hopefully if if joe biden was sick uh he gets over that cold and he's more assertive in the next uh debate uh i mean because trump is gonna do nothing but spew lies again and again and again and again and i hope that they have a fact check next time so that somebody, so you just can't say a lie and go with it. I mean, because how do you debate with somebody that you can't debate off lies? Yeah. You can't defend lies. If they're lies, they're lies.
Starting point is 01:04:53 But we'll see what happens. All right. Well, we got just with the mess coming up. What are we talking about? Kourtney Kardashian do not want her vagina to fall out if she gives birth to another baby. So she's telling us how she's keeping it intact. Your vagina could fall out? I don't know.

She's a culture she was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see it's time to set it off so courtney kardashian like i
Starting point is 01:06:14 said she said she's afraid of her vagina falling out on the new episode of um the kardashians courtney was talking about keeping her vagina intact after giving birth. And during her confessional, a producer had asked her, what does keeping your vagina intact mean? Because they was a little confused. This is when she talked about prolapse. They say to keep your vagina intact, you should not jump or run for like six months. What does keeping your vagina intact mean? Well, you can have prolapse, which is where your vagina can like fall out, I think.
Starting point is 01:06:54 Supposedly, there's things you can do to keep it up there. That makes sense. You should do Pilates. So I'm doing Pilates tomorrow. Oh, that's amazing. Yeah, I've just been walking i i didn't know that maybe that's something common i had no clue my wife we had what six kids and yeah every time the kid the kids come out and she's able to run jump go on
Starting point is 01:07:18 vacation and all that she's done and her vagina has not falling out and then i mean i don't think kiki wyatt would be on child 84 if her vagina fell out and your vagina never fell out right no no i don't maybe it's not a black thing maybe it's not maybe it's not a black job i don't know okay no now on the professional chloe said they said but actually i did some research myself in the cle Cleveland Clinic explains vaginal prolapse is a condition where your vagina slips out of position. So it actually does not fall out. It just, you know, moves and then we say and it happens when the tissues and muscles in your pelvis weaken and overstretch. Oh, OK. Yeah. So apparently, you know, Courtney, hers is weak and overstretched.
Starting point is 01:08:07 She can't walk or run for six months. God damn. Why you just throw all that money y'all got? Y'all get new everything anyway. Just get a new vagina. Just get a new vagina. Yeah, period. Okay, I thought that was a very interesting story.
Starting point is 01:08:21 And then now this one as well. Oklahoma superintendent mandates schools to teach the bible from grades 5 through 12 all oklahoma schools are now required to use the bible and the 10 commandments in their curriculums oklahoma state superintendent ryan walters said the bible is a necessary historical document to teach our kids about the history of this country to have a complete understanding of western civilization to have an understanding of the basis of our legal system the national organization called interfaith alliance told cnn this is blatant religious coercion that should absolutely

Starting point is 01:14:48 Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Different is like, while I do believe that the Bible should be taught, that's why we got Bible school. That's why we got, you know, all that type of stuff. Church, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Church. I don't think it should be taught in schools because they call themselves teaching black people their history and people's in our history still wasn't taught to us the way that it was and then i don't know i just don't trust white people teaching us
Starting point is 01:15:16 the bible because remember back in slavery when they taught it they taught it as a way to be obedient to them correct you know what i'm saying i mean i agree with you you know it's the only difficult thing is what the ten commandments is thou shall not kill it's it's things that is just normal things and days of life that we should follow and common sense that we should learn and respect but you know i i agree you don't you don't cross religion in school and you know because some people don't believe you know some people are catholic some people are christian some people are muslim some people follow different ways of of practicing religion and i don't think they should have to follow anything you know yeah public schools and i just i really don't understand how um like white people i'm sorry can teach us anything about
Starting point is 01:15:59 the bible like or our history if y'all ain't get it right with the history, please don't wave a Bible and be like, here you go.

So who you so who is don people i am a real estate developer and entrepreneur i'm from washington dc and i build office buildings and i build hotels and condos around the country from boston down to miami and then los angeles san francisco and vegas and right now i am trying to build what will be the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere called Affirmation Tower right here in New York City. Out of all these skyscrapers,
Starting point is 01:22:10 not one of them is built by a black developer. In fact, the reason I came to New York is back in 2009 or so, I was having drinks with Reverend Sharpton at the Havana Club. And he looked out the window and he said, come over here. What do you see? And I said, I see all these tall buildings. He said, well, what don't you see? And I said, I don't know. And he said, not one of them is owned by one of us. So you need to do something about it. So I came here, started a business here, built some buildings here, just finished a luxury condo building downtown in Tribeca and decided that I would build a building that reflected economic empowerment for our people. And so I call it Affirmation Tower.
Starting point is 01:22:48 I partnered with two other black developers because it needed to be black owned. So 80 percent black owned being built by a woman led black woman led contractor. Cheryl McKissick. Exactly. Exactly. And that America promises us equal access to economic opportunities. So this building is going to reflect that. And then we're going to make it a symbol and an environment of economic opportunity for our people.
Starting point is 01:23:17 Two hotels, apartments, condos, and also I'm building 40% affordable housing there too. Ah, yes. You know, it's very important to note, and you said it already, but I just want to say it in a way people will really understand. You are the most successful black real estate developer in American history, right? That's safe to say. I guess, yeah. I'm working on it every day. I'm working on trying to make it so that it's easier and there's so many more of me.
Starting point is 01:23:47 And that's really, you know, if I ever have a legacy, it'll be. I'd like it to be that there's many, many, many more people like me who have had an opportunity to come out here and be successful. What has been the biggest obstacle with Affirmation Title? I think getting the governor of New York to actually make a decision to sell us a site. We have proposed. It's the second time now, we have proposed a price and a project a couple of years ago, and then Andrew Cuomo had to leave office. And so Hochul came in, canceled it, and then reissued a request for proposals. We've done that and we're in that process. So that's the biggest obstacle. Good news is that we've been able to raise the capital to do it.'s a three billion dollar development and so i think
Starting point is 01:24:29 that you know it should be a no-brainer in my view because when we're a very qualified team with the resources to do it but also new york owes our people a civil rights museum it owes our people economic opportunity and how great would it be for young boys and girls and young men and women to walk into a skyscraper from not just New York, but all around the country when they come to New York and go into that building and know it was built by people like them. And that's why we call it Affirmation Tower, because this promise needs to be affirmed. This promise of equality economically, this country needs to affirm it.
Starting point is 01:25:11 And I think that Governor Hochul owes her election to black voters. She had a tough race against Republican Louie Seldon, and we carried her over the finish line. Now time to acknowledge that we have a role in New York City's economy. You said something interesting. You said you feel like politics is moving past black people.
Starting point is 01:25:32 Expound on that. If you think about this discussion about DEI right now, let's rewind a moment. This country was built with 249 years of free labor from black people. Industries that had no economic viability were built by us that gave america the wind in its sails to propel it to have the power economically to be the greatest country in the world then another hundred years of extreme oppression so finally in late 1960s um richard nixon Nixon created an office of minority businesses and minority contracting. And there were two beneficiaries, actually three, black Americans, Native Americans, which were then called American Indians and Alaskans.
Starting point is 01:26:18 That was it because the country owed them and all of us a debt. Native Americans, because they stole the land from them and put them in these reservations and just decimated their culture. They kidnapped our ancestors and brought them here. So that should have stopped there, and the country should have done right by us by giving our young people better access to education, better health care better opportunities for economic opportunities and um and access to home ownership and to build wealth
Starting point is 01:26:52 and what happened is over time this was used as a political kind of patronage or carrot so it included latinos that included asian americans other people who voluntarily came here just like the irish and the italians looking for a better life and they got it here and they owe america a debt america doesn't owe them a debt so to place them in the same status when it comes to access to opportunity as black americans is insulting and offensive and it's hurt us and think about this and the wealth disparity in this country between blacks and whites was greater in 2018 than it was in 1968 when dr king was killed the income disparity was greater to in 2018 than when dr king was assassinated in 68 home ownership rates were higher for our people
Starting point is 01:27:46 in 1968 and 2018 and then of course all of these three statistics they're worse today so we're not making progress and the democratic party has taken us for granted absolutely believe that because we're black joe biden sent it on your program can't make up your mind between me and trump you ain't black that's right who is he to determine who's black or not? What are the conversations like behind closed doors? I mean, I know that you're active in politics. I'm sure that you donated to a lot of campaigns. So when you're having these conversations with these elected officials behind closed doors,
Starting point is 01:28:18 what are they saying back to you? First, they say most of them will say, wait a minute, Trump, what are you going to do? You can't vote for Trump. Trump's horrible. And I'm like, well, you're paying into the narrative. What I'm telling you is that the Democrat leadership has to come forward with doing things for our people, helping us move forward. And it's not I mean, you can no longer try to make us comfortable in poverty. I mean, that's really what it is. It's just being comfortable in poverty. I mean, that's really what it is. It's just being comfortable in poverty.
Starting point is 01:28:46 It's like Malcolm X said that it wasn't the conservative white that he was worried about that would do us in. It was a white liberal who would befriend us and convince us that they were our friends and get us to vote for them. The fox and the wolf, you call it. Yeah. But also, you got to think about how far back we go. Right. So in the 1960s and so forth, I mean, we were in the 50s. We were treated so badly.
Starting point is 01:29:13 Our parents, our grandparents were treated so badly. So to be nice to us or respectful or polite to us was such a big leap based on what they were dealing with. But we're beyond that now. Being nice to us and polite to us isn such a big leap based on what they were dealing with but we're beyond that now being nice to us and polite to us isn't enough and we need we want we got this see see i don't think joe biden believes that any of us in this room have the same aspirations as our white counterparts and that we don't have the same aspirations for our children as our white counterparts do. I think he believes our dreams have a ceiling to them and that our ambitions are tapered. And and that's where the problem is. And I think this paternalistic approach to us is is just wrong. And I think we've got to start holding them accountable and make them compete for our support by results.
Starting point is 01:30:07 We got more with Don Peebles when we come back. We're talking more politics. And, of course, is Brooklyn Village Development Project. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Alaris, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 01:30:18 We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Don Peebles. Charlamagne. You know who you're voting for in November? I don't. OK. I don't right now. I mean, it'd be very hard for me to vote for Biden right now.
Starting point is 01:30:30 I really feel that he owes us an explanation and he owes us some concrete. If he stepped up and said, I'm going to do this, this, this, this, this, and I'm starting right now, start signing executive orders. Look at all these executive orders he signs for everything else sign some for us mandate that public employee pension systems that uh benefit from tax exempt status have to invest their money um in in a manner in which it's reflective of population demographics or the demographics of their um pension uh beneficiaries think about it many of these um government employees disproportionately are black yeah and can't even get access to our own money so if he did things like that then i could look differently and i really i need the democratic party overall i've been a lifelong democrat i need them to step up and start
Starting point is 01:31:22 fighting for us that's right and and they're just not doing it. And fighting for us by proposing legislation in the Congress and proposing legislation in these cities. Do you know that black contracting in major cities in the U.S., like D.C., for example, Marion Barry
Starting point is 01:31:39 in 1980 made a requirement that at least 35% of all contracts went to black-owned businesses. You want to know what that requirement is today? 20%. And it's local disadvantaged business. 20% local disadvantaged business. Lost 15%.
Starting point is 01:31:56 Think about that. So if you look around the country, look at Detroit. Who's rebuilding Detroit? Not black people. White people. Who's getting the economic benefit so these politicians can't keep doing this to us and getting our vote would you said it'd be hard for you to vote for Biden would be hard for you to vote for Trump it would be hard hard for me to
Starting point is 01:32:14 vote for Trump but I would do business with Trump if he were trans if Donald Trump said I'm going to do this this and this then I would do that what I'm doing right now is I'm putting together a group of black business people and we are going to ask to meet with President Biden and we're going to ask to meet with President Trump and we're going to have an agenda and we're going to ask them to tell us where they stand on this agenda and what they would do to move this agenda forward and then make an informed decision on what we do. So even with the history, I'm about to say even with the history of Trump, but I mean, Biden has a history as well. Yeah. I mean, I mean, again, I was talking to somebody about Trump the other day and he said, well, what about the Central Park five? It's a horrible thing. I mean, and he was reactionary, quick to rush to justice, judgment and so forth.
Starting point is 01:33:04 It's a horrible thing. Joe Biden is responsible for 500,000 black men in jail. What about an attempted coup of the country? Are Trump saying, I want to terminate the Constitution and overthrow the results? I mean, that's a disturbing thing, but these are words. And in reality, I mean, words, you know, that only gets implemented if our government, Congress, and everything else went along with it. So I think the problem with him is that he's erratic. And by the way, the Democrats should be scared to death because the next Republican is probably going to be a bit more measured and a bit more in control of themselves.
Starting point is 01:33:43 And they're going to have a message to our people because what's going to happen is they're seeing that we are receptive and now that they see us as receptive and not going to write us off, they'll start competing for our vote as they should and so I think, look, Dr. King Sr.
Starting point is 01:33:59 Martin Luther King Sr. was a Republican, the first Democrat he endorsed with John Kennedy in 1960. And that was because of some of the things that Kennedy did during the civil rights movement. And that was when there was a bit of a shift between from for black voters to go more Democratic. So we should be we should be just bipartisan. We should be, again, supporting those who support us. Our agenda is economic opportunity. If they're not locking up rich black men and women on a regular basis, they're not attacking people in that way. So we have more economic power.
Starting point is 01:34:41 We can protect our own people. We can give environments of opportunity. And that's what that needs to happen. But it has to happen fast. It's way overdue. What do you say about conservatives who are gutting things? Hey, guys, I'm Kate Max.

Starting point is 01:40:19 Getting rid of things like the DEI programs or attacking, you know, affirmative action, you know, type programs. Like, what would you say to that? Well, I think that we gave them the opportunity. Democrats served it up to them because again, when I was, they,
Starting point is 01:40:30 it's too broad. I mean, it includes Asian Americans. It includes Latino Americans. I mean, it includes so many people who voluntarily immigrated to this country.
Starting point is 01:40:41 But they're attacking it because it includes us. Well, I don't know. I think you got to put it back to them. I think black people are to fight for ourselves. Hey, this should only be for us and Native Americans. That's what it was intended for. This country only owes us and Native Americans a debt. So let's close DEI to make it just reflective of that.
Starting point is 01:41:00 This country did not do anything. It didn't enslave Latinos. It didn't enslave Asians. I mean, this country owes black Americans a debt for building it financially for free. So if we so I think the answer is we got to narrow it back to what it belongs to and then fight that fight. And that fight is winnable and people will be persuadable there's races in this country and they're anti-semitic people in this country and that will that will be for a long time probably forever you're not going to persuade them but i think there's other people you can persuade based on the facts and i wonder why these liberals have ignored our economic interest and are they the ones who want to keep us you know in a subordinate and subservient position so that we're controllable because that seems like it to me they want a controllable constituency but they do nothing for us i mean everybody gets something gay community got all these things i mean you look at it they're fighting again on reproductive issues right i mean they're fighting on these others but when it comes to us they're not willing to fight they're just scaring
Starting point is 01:42:09 us hey trump's a racist the republicans are racist and you don't have any choice but us and we aren't going to do anything for you but we're not going to be racist and we're going to be nice to you that's not enough wow don people's ladies and gentlemen uh don you you want to give some information where they can follow you on instagram twitter i don't think you're on there that much um no i'm on instagram um rd people's on instagram and uh you know and i'm on twitter as well um don people's um but and i'd like to get people's thoughts because i do you know i want we we need to be working together and building our army about change. That's right.
Starting point is 01:42:46 And supporting you. I mean, the fact that you are willing to say something that all of us should be saying is by criticizing inaction of our party who we've delivered for, who hasn't delivered for us. I mean, we got to all join in this because if we do then they're going to listen and we're going to get results if we and again this whole idea of dividing us that's another thing kind of take away our power collectively so we work together here we can change things it's a great time to change things i agree uh it's don people's lady ladies and gentlemen it's the breakfast club thank you for coming brother thank you for having me thank you the breakfast club Ladies and gentlemen, it's The Breakfast Club.
