Starting point is 00:04:24 Came out to that car show. It was such a dope experience. It was 15,000 people. No fights. No incidents. No shootings. No stabbings. No nothing.
Starting point is 00:04:34 That is so great for Memphis. Yeah, it was great. That was the thing. The city was very excited. The police officers were like, we haven't seen an event like this where so many families came together and it wasn't a problem. So, salute to every last person that came out to memphis uh salute to to dolph the dolph estate shout the paper route that had uh all the dolph's cars shout the key glock that actually popped up and took

Starting point is 00:05:17 ramps and all the tricks and Lincoln Tech that had all the activations and Branson and just everybody. It was just such a dope and i think one of the dopest things were besides the cars and people got to see the cars and all that was the dorf museum so if you don't know the dorf museum starts off as a museum based off his life so it starts off where a corner store you walk into a corner store where he first started hustling at and then it goes into his living room where he started to say you know what i want to leave
Starting point is 00:05:44 this hustling alone and start writing rhymes so it goes into his rhyme book and it shows the cds because he burnt his old cds then it had like a weed room where he started hustling cannabis but then you know later on in his life he got his own strand and made it a business a legal business then it went to you know paper route where he created his own label and then it went to the incident in north carolina where they had the door of his vehicle that was shot up 100 times then it went to all the uh the stuff that he does to give away and it's in his grandmother's name and everything all his accolades and then it ends with uh which is very sad the uh corvette that he pulled up into the cookie shop with where he where he was killed they had that corvette there with the writing still on it where they impounded the car so it's
Starting point is 00:06:22 like a that's horrible 360 of his life it's like a 360 of his life. It's horrible, but it shows his life and people were really into it just seeing it and showing so much respect and just knowing his everything, which was dope.

Starting point is 00:06:39 able to show that to the world and the world came in there, man.

I'm not going to lie. I did see White Man Can't Jump. I asked you how it was. You said you fell asleep. I really did fall asleep. I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 00:07:45 I fell asleep. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Teslin Figaro will be joining us next in Front Page News. Got a lot to discuss. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into Front Page News. All right. NBA, the Heat beat the Celtics 4-3 in the series 4-3. 1-0-3-84 was the score last night. They wiped their ass with them four-leaf clovers last night.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Yeah, which is crazy because nobody expected the Heat to go this far. So congratulations to the Miami Heat. They play the Denver Nuggets Thursday at 8.30 p.m. Again, congratulations. Now, Teslin Figueroa is here. What up, Tes? Good morning, DJ Envy the Queen, Jess. Hi.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Charlamagne the God. Hey, girl. Now, let's get right into it. Let's talk DeSantis. He said he would push to repeal Trump criminal justice reform if elected. Yes, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said Friday that if elected president, he would call on Congress to repeal the criminal justice reform bill called the First Step Act. Now, this bipartisan bill was passed in 2018. And simply put, it had two goals, one to reduce the overcrowded prison population and two to provide incentives for people in prison to take recidivism reducing programs, which increases the likelihood that they would succeed upon their release and not return to prison. Let's listen to what he had to say. We'll talk about it on the other side.
Starting point is 00:09:09 You know, under the Trump administration, you know, he enacted a bill, basically a jailbreak bill. It's called the First Step Act. It is allowed dangerous people out of prison who have now reoffended and really, really hurt a number of people. So one of the things I want to do as president is go to Congress and seek the repeal of the First Step Act. If you are in jail, you should serve your time. And the idea that they're releasing people who have not been rehabilitated early so that they can prey on people in our society is a huge, huge mistake. Oh, please. I mean, these jails aren't doing any rehabilitation to begin with. We call these facilities correctional facilities. They damn sure ain't correcting nobody. But Ted, what does it mean when he said it allows dangerous people out of jail to reoffend? Yeah, let me be really clear. Rhonda Sands is a damn lie. This is simply not true.
Starting point is 00:09:58 The only people that were eligible for the First Step Act credits were people who were already minimal, minimum or low risk people. They were already getting out of prison so let's just be clear about this this wasn't just allowing somebody to get out of prison it wasn't murderous it wasn't murderers and and manslaughter it was it was already low risk or minimum people who were going to re-offend so over 90 percent uh of people who go to let's just be clear even murderers 90 percent of people and i'm not talking about first step back i just want to be clear on some stats here 90 percent of people that go to, let's just be clear, even murderers, 90% of people, and I'm not talking about the First Step Act, I just want to be clear on some stats here, 90% of people that go to prison in our prison system get back out at some point. Everyone doesn't stay in there forever. So that's the first myth that we have to deal with, that people are going to get out at some point. The
Starting point is 00:10:36 First Step Act was all about how do we prepare people when they get out? So this allowed people to actually have programs to say, hey, we're going to prepare you with what you need to give incentives to get the skills to be productive after release i want to be clear about that across the board but these were low or minimum risk people to reoffend i'm not saying low or minimum risk people on their cases i'm saying low or risk to reoffend but i want to be clear everybody gets out at some point the majority of people do gotcha well it says do you think the law should be repealed yes absolutely absolutely should not be repealed uh in fact a lot of people argue that the first step act should have a first step act two because this one did not go enough uh and again uh people uh there's always going to be somebody that gets out of prison and goes back to jail but this was just an opportunity to give them uh you know a chance to
Starting point is 00:11:25 have a first step um i take this really personal guys because i partnered with an organization to release a 10-part audio series on the straight shot no chase on the black faith podcast network um it went to 500,000 incarcerated individuals that dealt with mental health family adjustment relationships with your parole and these are the same type of programs that this, uh, the first step act offers. It offers stuff on substance abuse, finance, trauma, family planning. So let me be clear on the record to say that Ron DeSantis is pro reoffend. He is pro reoffend because anybody that is against this first step back, that means you basically want people to get out of prison without any tools. And I would ask Ron, I wonder, does he feel like the people that raided the U.S. Capitol should go to jail
Starting point is 00:12:06 and stay in jail? Absolutely. And he went on record, glad you brought that up, he actually went on record saying that he would pardon some of the rioters that were convicted.
Starting point is 00:12:16 And just as a reminder, five people were killed, right, and 138 officers were injured. So he's totally okay with the rioters, you know, getting an opportunity
Starting point is 00:12:24 to get out of jail, but okay with preparing people uh to have successful um you know opportunities when they get out so he is pro reoffend that's just what i'm calling he's pro reoffend and pro mass incarceration pro mass incarceration all right well that is front page news now tez we see you in a little bit absolutely all right get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you're upset you need to vent call us up right now let us know how your three-day weekend was what you did i mean i was out in aruba one day then i flew to dr dominican republic and then i was out in memphis for a couple days i was all over the place so let us know what you did this weekend 800-585-1051 get it off your chest.

Starting point is 00:14:41 I was listening to you guys Testers report on the... First off, I want to say good morning to everybody on the cast and everybody that actually puts in the wealth of knowledge that I obtained myself. So I hope everybody else benefits from the same knowledge. Good morning, brother. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Good morning. But I just wanted to put my little tooth in about the first step that involved in Ron DeSantis. I was actually incarcerated in 2016 and I did five years for something that black families
Starting point is 00:15:11 we are raised on. Discipline. Corporate discipline. Use of a belt. Unfortunately, this little white girl in the state of Florida disagreed with that.
Starting point is 00:15:20 So... Hold on. You did five years for disciplining your child with a belt? Agreed. Hey. Wait, wait. how many times did you hit your son was it abusive was it like to the point where your son was bad like what do you mean discipline um it was just discipline you know um the kids that i had it was uh my ex's girl my ex's sister's kids at the time and you
Starting point is 00:15:42 know some people are meant to be parents so the kids weren't really structural or they didn't have a structure so we did we tried the um give them everything that we can if they do good in school you know it doesn't matter if they do bad so often we we we um you you give them the benefit of that little that little gain you know you give them rewards you give them rewards if they did good, you tried to give them rewards for positive reinforcement. Exactly. And if they did something bad,
Starting point is 00:16:08 you tell them about what they did bad, but they get a little gift at that. Like, they may get a bar of candy or something of that nature. Like, the first three days that these kids were in my house, the only thing I used to hear is, thank you, thank you, thank you,
Starting point is 00:16:21 every time they ate. Broke my heart. But at the end of the day, the moral of this one is the only way that I can get this off my record is if Ron DeSantis pardons me for it. While I was incarcerated,
Starting point is 00:16:36 I wrote a book. While I was incarcerated, I took IT courses. I took, like, I did a bunch of things. And now at this moment, I actually, I went from owning my own construction company, successfully traveling all over the country, building apartment complexes. And, like, it's so much good that I've done. And I went in with the mindset, because I was young and dumb at one time.
Starting point is 00:17:00 I think we all were. And I completely came out with the mindset of never again. A king does not deserve to be in a cage. Period. Neither does a queen. Yeah, I'm still stuck on how you ended up doing five years for beating your child. I need to, like, who, like, did somebody call the police on you for abuse? Damn.
Starting point is 00:17:17 We had a group because it was a family that took in the children of the family. So they weren't your kids? They weren't your kids? No so they weren't your kids and say again they weren't your kids no they weren't my kids no oh okay all right okay okay but it's not like um it's not like like how they made it seem like i actually tried to or or did kill this little girl that's what my black female lawyer told me she said this is literally a case of escape so i mean i i went in with the mindset this is all i know halfway through my bid i'm like okay i could have done this i could have
Starting point is 00:17:52 did this i could have did this it's been a couple times that i put in requests for um to be pardoned by the uh the governor of the state but there's no way that it's going to happen i don't know i'm gonna be honest with you that was too deep for me on a tuesday morning i'm just there's no way that it's going to happen. I don't know. I'm going to be honest with you. That was too deep for me on a Tuesday morning. I'm just, you know, I'm still trying to recover from the weekend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Get it off your chest. I don't even know what just happened. 585-105-1. I'm going to be honest with you. Hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. That was a little too much for me. That was heavy. The Breakfast Club.

Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th.

Starting point is 00:23:50 Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa,
Starting point is 00:24:37 it 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. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian.
Starting point is 00:25:16 Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

Starting point is 00:26:52 Listen to Civic Cipher every Saturday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast are the breakfast club just hilarious is here hello and let's get to just with the mess get it it's just for the mess oh my god this is the rumor report talk to me okay nice i want to say i like the other intro better. But, okay. So, Brother Envy, you are in the blogs this weekend. Okay, so Gunplay and Envy situation that escalated. Listeners, just to keep y'all updated, in case you missed it, during one of DJ Envy's rants to where Rick Ross, he brought up Gunplay's name, there's audio for that, refreshed their minds.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Now, you talk about boss and all the boss moves you did. We reported a story three weeks ago about your guy. Your guy. Gunplay is my brother. He has the Mac in the back of the 7th series. And that's my brother. We reported a story that Gunplay, shout out to Gunplay, friends in the room. We reported a story that he had to put a GoFundMe up because he was having some problems.
Starting point is 00:28:01 If that's your brother, you take care of your brother. Okay, cool. So Gunplay and his family felt a way about the statement. So Charlamagne got Envy and Gunplay on a call together. This is how that went. Yo, Envy. What's up, bro? What's up, man?
Starting point is 00:28:17 Why you talking crazy, man? Talk crazy about who? About me, my brother. What I had to do with anything, man? And my wife posting a GoFundMe, man. What? My baby was sick, man. She had a heart defect, my brother.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Why? Why? Well, it has nothing to do with cars. Every for you know, I'll slap you right for that. You know that, right? No, no, no, no, no. I'm no, no, no. I want to be clear.
Starting point is 00:28:42 I want to be clear here. You know, I was slapped. I do you about that, right? And then we can no. I want to be clear. I want to be clear here. You know I would slap the shit out of you about that, right? And then we can fight, but that's not the reason I'm saying that. So I'll be wrong if, I'll be wrong to handle my business then, right? But what's your business? I'm having a conversation with you. If you feel like you are disrespected, don't talk to me like a man.
Starting point is 00:28:55 I'm like, nah, whatever. And if you feel I did, I apologize. That wasn't my intention. My wife is affected by that, my brother. That's it. I apologize. Thank you, my brother. If you clear it up, I will, because I have you my brother so I'm assuming
Starting point is 00:29:06 that the call was supposed to be private but nobody knew that Gunplay was recording that is a fact yeah because when you come at somebody
Starting point is 00:29:13 like a man you know in my opinion and you want to actually really have a conversation and move forward with something or however you feel
Starting point is 00:29:20 and to get it off your chest you just don't record well this is the thing charlamagne uh called me what last week monday and he had gunplay on the line it was like your gunplay want to talk to you and at first i was like no i'm not talking to anybody then i was like you know what gunplay is a friend to the room he's somebody that we know and if he has a problem with something let me take the call because that's what men do absolutely and he was saying that uh
Starting point is 00:29:40 i posed i talked about his wife and his daughter which played a call again where you can hear me play it again i never mentioned his wife or daughter at all it was talking about boss and all the boss moves you did we reported a story three weeks ago about your guy your god gunplay is my brother he has the mac in the back of the seven series and that's my brother we reported a story that gunplay shout the gunplay friends friends in the room we were pulling a story that he had to you know put a go for me up because he was having some problems if that's your brother you take care of your brother now at any point did you hear me mention his wife or his child and i was here did you hear me mention
Starting point is 00:30:18 his wife or child no but to be fair let me finish okay let me finish so i didn't mention his wife or child and i didn't put the information about his goal for me. He did. I didn't let that cat out the bag. He talked about it. It was something that was a story that was reported. So I didn't talk about any of that. And when Gunplay called me, because he's a friend to the room and he was upset at first,
Starting point is 00:30:36 you could tell he was upset at first. So I'm like, he's a friend. You know, like speaking to any friend that's upset. So I let him go. I let him vent. And then we had a discussion. I said, if your wife was offended, that wasn't my intent. And you apologized. your wife was offended that wasn't my intent and you apologize and i said that's not my intent i apologize which men should do right because i was like you're a friend to the room and you felt the way we can have a
Starting point is 00:30:52 discussion yeah now the thing is he ended the call there charlamagne how long did we talk on the phone after we talked about 10 minutes after and you know how was that how was the conversation the conversation was uh very very cordial talking about. We were talking about how we first started. Talking about how to squash this issue between you and Ross. And even how Gunplay, even though he's had his beefs and problems in the industry, he still was a friend to the room. He would come up and he would do all these things on the show. We laughed. We joked.
Starting point is 00:31:18 We got off the phone positive. Yeah. Got off the phone positive. But two things we should add to that. The GoFundMe was in reference to an issue that his daughter was going. But I didn't mention it. I just mentioned that he had a GoFundMe. That's all I mentioned.
Starting point is 00:31:30 And number two, I think Gunplay was expecting a public apology. But you weren't here. Exactly. Yesterday, where were we? It was off for Memorial. And I was in a room with DR. So we weren't on air. And we were going to bring it back up and have this discussion because you know what I thought it was?
Starting point is 00:31:47 I even said that last week. I said Envy's not here. Remember? Yeah. And I said Envy's not here. But, you know, you know, when he comes back, he can talk about this situation with Gunplay. But I thought it was dope because I thought it was two men having a problem, a disagreement and handling it like. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Yeah. And I was like, you don't see that sort of fact that we can have that discussion i thought that was dope but then when you record a phone call and i just thought that was i thought that was was it was chasing something else yeah and then is he still doing love hip-hop is he still is he on love hip-hop still yes okay because then that that's probably the reason for him recording i i really honestly feel like yes he he definitely could feel some type of way he definitely has the right to feel some type of way because it's still bringing him into a situation that he had nothing to do with but it's just the recording i just think it's just all egos and it's a lot of egos and when you're dealing with people's family issues
Starting point is 00:32:41 you know what i'm saying like nobody wants to see their wife crying but that's what i said i said that wasn't my intention and like i said i didn't mention his wife or his child i never even said what it was i just said he put up a go fund me and i was talking about ross helping his friends that's where it came from so it never went to him exactly but you know another thing that people got to understand too right and this is a side note it is against the law to record somebody's phone conversation and not tell them. That is against the law. I can't stand it. I don't know why people do that.
Starting point is 00:33:10 I want people to understand, right? Florida is where this happened, right? Under Florida statute 93403, secretly audio recording of another individual is a third degree felony offense punishable up to five years in prison and a fine that is a fine so now district attorneys from florida been calling me like crazy because you're not allowed to tape somebody's phone call and put it out yeah like that's crazy you gotta you gotta you gotta be smarter i agree people gotta be smarter and i think it's so whack to record somebody's phone call especially when you have a conversation like a man and I think men need to do men things
Starting point is 00:33:46 and I think recording somebody's conversation and not telling them to put it out that's not a man thing I agree with that but at this moment you know
Starting point is 00:33:52 the man thing to do is to just give a public apology to Gunplay's wife if she felt offended didn't I just say it I said if if she felt a way
Starting point is 00:34:01 I apologize I said that like I'm not gonna over apologize that wasn't my intention that's not what I said that. I'm not going to over-apologize. That wasn't my intention. No, you said it on the call. I'm just saying. That's what it was.
Starting point is 00:34:07 They said they wanted it publicly. That's what it was. You know what I mean? It was what it was. Yeah. That's all. Yo, I didn't know that you can... You can't have the fresh matte black paint job and not...
Starting point is 00:34:15 I didn't know that you can get arrested for recording somebody's conversation. I got to take Moniece to court then. Who is Moniece? Another love and hip-hop reality star. I didn't know she was recording me. I didn't know she was recording me. I didn't know she was recording me. I was talking to most of my... It depends on what state.
Starting point is 00:34:29 So if you're on probation or if you're something like... It depends. Every state is different. So if you're on probation and you do that, that could be a felony charge and you can go back to jail for probation. You can also be sued civilly and you have to pay a fine. That's amazing. But this is the way you gotta play with people now because people don't respect yeah they don't they don't respect the fact that you can have a conversation like
Starting point is 00:34:48 yeah people right because if i'm talking about somebody you monies why are you going play it on live yo i mean we cool now but i gotta take it to court now now that i know that that can happen why are you so messy i don't know i don't know why the little mermaid made over a hundred million at the u.s't bring my cousin into this messy segment. Oh, now she's your cousin because you only got Khloe. You always talk about Khloe your cousin. You never say Halle your cousin. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:35:11 That's not true. You never, never, never. But it's all right. Shout out to Charlamagne's family because not only is Khloe his cousin, Halle is too. Yes, because they're sisters. That's how it works. Yes, that's how it works.
Starting point is 00:35:21 But I don't think she ever claims you because you never. You go real hard for Kh Chloe, not for Halle. Me and Chloe cancels. Did you go see it? I did. I saw it. What day? I saw it.
Starting point is 00:35:30 Saturday, Friday, Friday, Saturday. Okay. Did you go to sleep on that one too? Or did you? No. It was okay because you went to sleep on the white man can't jump. I did go to sleep on the white man can't jump. But not because it was bad because I was actually sleepy.
Starting point is 00:35:40 Yeah, you were just sleepy. All the medibles and you know. That's all. You're 50 so you can't. You got to take it easy. That's it. All right. Well, there was some nice audio from her aunt, Hall were just sleepy. All the edibles and, you know, you're 50, so you can't, you gotta take it easy. That's it. All right. Well, there was some nice audio from her aunt, Halle's aunt.
Starting point is 00:35:49 So this may be your auntie Charlamagne. I don't know. It's her real aunt, though. She has something to say after seeing the movie. This man, who's dad, Pete Cotton. What's wrong? Your father, Pete Cotton. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:02 His granddaughter is the star of the biggest film in the entire world. His father picked cotton. Oh, yeah. South Carolina. Five years old. Five years old. And look, on top of that, Harry's grandmother picked tobacco. Oh, yeah. In South Carolina as a child. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:29 So her grandfather picked cotton and her grandmother picked tobacco. And now she is the star of the Little Mermaid. This is great. Do you know those relatives? No, I don't know. You don't? You don't remember? That's before my time.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Oh, well, okay. So this is okay. Man, leave me alone. It's Tuesday. What's wrong with y'all? We just got back. That is amazing, though. I just want to give a big shout out to Halle Bailey.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Halle Bailey. Sorry. That's right. That was amazing. The Little Mermaid. That was amazing. It's good to see you. Did you see it?
Starting point is 00:37:00 No, I didn't. But I will. So I'm not going to lie like you. T.I. and Tinyani lose their lawsuit against MGA Entertainment Toymakers. Okay, so basically they filed a lawsuit in 2019 stating that the Toymakers OMG dolls were a blatant replica of her daughter's girl group. And it was. If y'all look closely at the pictures, y'all can literally see. They copied Zonnique's look.
Starting point is 00:37:24 They copied the other two girls. But they lost the... I thought they were going to win that. I don't know how they lost that lawsuit. Yeah. I thought that was a slam dunk. I literally thought that was a slam dunk, man. But it's...
Starting point is 00:37:33 I'm sorry. That's so bad. That's just the mess for the day. And her news is real. Allegedly. The news is real. No, the news is real, real, real, real today. Allegedly.
Starting point is 00:37:41 All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, Teszlin Figaro will be joining us for some front page news. And we got something we want to discuss. 800-585-1051. We're talking about black drivers out there. Yeah, Tez is going to be talking to us
Starting point is 00:37:54 about this NPR article that says for black drivers, the police officer's first 45 words are a sign of what's to come. Basically, you know if you're about to be in some trouble based off a police officer's first 45 of words.
Starting point is 00:38:07 So handcuffs and arrests are nearly three times more likely to begin with the police officer issuing a command. So just keep your hands on the reel or turn the car off. So I wonder how often does that happen? Because that's all I've ever experienced. All right. And we'll take your phone calls, 800-585-1051. Front page news is next.
Starting point is 00:38:24 The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Did you hear? There's a new streaming service called Max.

Visit max.com morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club just hilarious is here our co-host i surely am and let's get in some front page news tess and figaro good morning good morning dj envy and congratulations on your car show it's all about community change over internet click so congratulations and good morning Jess, the queen of the Breakfast Club and I guess Charlemagne the God. I guess
Starting point is 00:39:08 he's here as well. I used to be the queen of the show. Right. That's a lamb depending on who you ask. That's the queen's mind. Let's get right into sports, alright? The Heat beat the Celtics last night 103-84. They continue on. They will be playing
Starting point is 00:39:23 the Nuggets this Thursday at 8.30 p.m. Congratulations to the Miami Heat. That boy's probably getting busy. The whole Heat, man, he got a world-class organization. I always wonder how come more people don't want to go play in Miami. I wonder why. I feel like that would be a great destination spot because they got such a great organization
Starting point is 00:39:39 and it's the city of Miami. You can still get in a lot of trouble in Miami, too. That is very true. The cocaine's still kind of pure. Right. You can still get in a lot of trouble in Miami, too. That is very true. That is true. The cocaine is still kind of pure out there. What? Now, Tez, let's jump right into it. We got to start off with Biden.
Starting point is 00:39:53 What's going on with Biden? Yeah, Biden and McCarthy reached a deal to avoid default. So over Memorial Day weekend, top negotiators for President Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy were working to finalize the details of a measure that, if passed, would avoid a historic government default and raise the nation's debt ceiling. Now, House lawmakers have 72 hours to review the 99-page bill before they plan a vote in the chamber. So 72 hours, that's going to be Wednesday. We should start hearing what they think about the bill, actually reading the text. McCarthy and Biden praised the bill as a framework that should gain bipartisan support. Many lawmakers are waiting to review it in order to make a decision on whether they're supported, which is smart. But both McCarthy and Biden urged Congress to pass it. But progressives are saying, hold up, we want to read it first before we decide if we are in support.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Now, why are progressives saying Biden should worry about them not supporting the deal? And by the way, I don't believe none of them progressives when they say they won't support it. Absolutely. We know it at the end of the day, they'll end up supporting it. So, you know, one of the things that's important is to continue to push, as they say, as you know, like I say, push the line. But to get them to try to do some negotiation. But you're right, Charlemagne, a lot of people have criticized progressives for being a lot of talk and no action. But Representative John Paul did say on Sunday that they should worry and that they should be concerned that they're going to look at it before they just say yes or no. And one of the issues that they're having is the food stamp recipient debate.
Starting point is 00:41:22 So they are saying that it's terrible policy to add any additional work requirements and of course republicans are saying that it's not enough work requirements but we're going to see on wednesday what it actually looks like what what is it about the requirements that they don't like for the food what is it about yeah yeah in short uh you know anytime we have this uh snap program debate there there's always a debate on this, on whether able-bodied people. I want to be clear about this because it's always, you know, the issue comes down to able-bodied people. So this particular negotiation that we're able to reach, again, we're going to see what the text says. But the good thing is it does give more access to food stamps for veterans, homeless people, young adults transitioning out of foster care. But the work requirement for able-bodied adults will increase from 50 to 54.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Republicans say it's not enough on the work requirements. And progressives are saying that it's too harsh because work requirements have very little impact on actually being employed. So, again, once the text is released, I hope to be covering this story again on Thursday as we get the information. How are you going to tell me I can't have food stamps, though? You don't know what my living situation is, right? I might be making just enough money to pay my rent and pay for my kids, babysitter, whatever. I might need these food stamps. Right.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Food is so damn expensive now. It should be a certain amount of hours that you either go to training or go to work if you're able-bodied. So when we look at it and, you know, the debate is, you know, will disabled people still get their food stamps? The answer is hopefully yes. So Democrats are saying, you know, hey, you guys folded with Republicans. Republicans, of course, saying they folded with Democrats. So we're going to see what it looks like on Thursday. See a little bit of gang banging this week, This week, you know, in the house.
Starting point is 00:43:06 We'll see how it works. I always took food stamps for granted, man. Because, you know, when I used to sell crack, like people would bring like food stamps. So they'll let you use the EBT card. This conversation is not for you, sir. We used to go get stupid stuff, like stuff for cookouts. You know what I'm saying? This is why they have a problem with the worker crime is right now.
Starting point is 00:43:21 You're the problem, sir. And they're watching this right now. This was 20 plus years ago. Yeah, but why bring it up now? Because you were using food stamps wrong. Well, I took them for granted. And people look up to you every day. I don't know why, but they do.
Starting point is 00:43:31 So, now. Now, let's talk about black drivers and police officers' first 45 words when they actually see a black driver. I hope the listeners really dig into this because it's really interesting. But what they found is that when black drivers are pulled over, the first 45 words has everything to do with the likely outcome. Now, when police officers pull over these black drivers, they said that these words hold important clues on how the encounter will likely go. A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences examined police body camera footage of 577 routine car stops involving black drivers. Now, 81 of these stops ultimately involved searches, handcuffs, or arrests, and it was the kind of outcome that was less likely when a police officer's first words
Starting point is 00:44:16 provided a reason for the stop opposed to an order. The first words are usually license and registration, right? That's what I thought they were. No, it Absolutely is not. In fact, the report shows that when an author gives a reason for the stop opposed to an order, like keep your hands on the wheel, turn the car off. If they say, hey, you know, my reason for stopping you was you were speeding. And then license and registration, Charlamagne, like give the reason first.
Starting point is 00:44:40 So they found in this report that when there's orders given first, the stop is three times more likely to result in handcuffing or arrest. And another point I want to point out, they asked 188 black men to listen to these recordings, to just listen and be listening to the open moments. And when they listen, these black men were worried that the possibility of force was going to happen at 80 percent of the time of just listening to the recording of issuing a command and so it's very interesting how they dig into this and another point i want to bring up 15 percent of black drivers experienced an escalated outcome such as handcuffing or arrest while less than one percent of white drivers experienced one of those outcomes and and one other port other thing I want to say on this report,
Starting point is 00:45:26 they actually looked at George Floyd and they analyzed the first 27 seconds of the interaction between him and the police officer. And Floyd requests the reason for the stop multiple times. He even pleads, begs. And it showed that he, from the beginning, police officers issued commands without giving him an explanation for the stop. So, really good report, guys. I hope people kind of look into it. I always wonder when you get pulled over, why they never tell you why at
Starting point is 00:45:56 first. Because we black. When they pull it over, I'm pulling you over for tents, or I'm pulling you over because your license is suspended. I'm pulling you over because you were speeding. I'm pulling you over because you did an illegal lane change. Why does it always license registration? And the first person you know, we're like, well, why are you pulling me over? Right.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Give me your license at first. I'm like, no, I just really want to know, why are you pulling me over? Like, I never understood why they didn't start with, I'm pulling you over because you were speeding. Until Tez said that story just now, I never knew that wasn't the norm. Because, you know, I always think that. He's supposed to tell you? Yeah. No, I always, I never expected for them to tell me registration yeah oh i always expect to have to ask why am i being
Starting point is 00:46:29 pulled over i always have to ask why am i being pulled over officer wow see even you it was your natural thing to say license and registration but see that's not how it works according to this report when you're asking people who are not black the first thing they come and say is put your hand on the wheel you know don't you know make sure you make sure i hands i can see you they don't ask even license and registration it should be i pulled you over sir hello sir good evening i pulled you over for speeding can i see your license registration because even then that's still a command or order that is what this report is breaking down no that's so interesting because when police pull us over i'm already i got my hands on the steering wheel I got my window down I don't want no sudden movements I'm like you don't have to tell me to do all that
Starting point is 00:47:09 yeah because I'm already thinking I need to do all that because I don't want the encounter to go left I'm the same way when I get pulled over first and foremost if I'm in if I'm in a SUV the windows in the back are always tinted right so I roll down the windows first right because I'm like I don't want them to feel like I got something tricky in the back seat right but then they're confused when they see you because they're like i don't know if you're white i don't know then i always turn on the lights in the car if it's night i always turn the lights off in the car the car is off and my hands are on the wheel you know i mean in plain sight so i don't you know that's usually what it is with me and i and i want to say this because i know people you know they love especially over the weekend you know talking about george floyd
Starting point is 00:47:42 the last week you know bumping up a lot of those white supremacist talking points but again they analyzed the first 27 seconds of floyd's encounter and the report found that floyd apologized to the officers while while they stood outside the car window he requests asking what is the reason for the stop he pleads he explains he follows the orders he expresses fear so every last thing that was said to Floyd was an order. Never the reason for the stop. Well, I don't want to say never, but not in the first 45 words. The reason for the stop. So this is very, and it's a couple other cases they examine as well.
Starting point is 00:48:17 I hope the family goes and looks at this report. You can find it on NPR.org. I feel like they always tell us after they run our license and stuff. When they run our license and see that we clean, then they come back and they be like, well, the reason I stopped you was because you had a roasted tail light. That's crazy. I only got locked up. I only got pulled over like twice.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Yeah, twice in my life. And they have always told me why. Both were white cops. A woman and a man. They told you immediately? Yep. Or I got asked by one. I got asked, do you know why i'm
Starting point is 00:48:46 pulling you over yeah you know and or they'll be like you know you were going the guy just said you know you were doing 80 and a 40 you know i mean that's not what i was doing but that's you know i mean that he just he gave me the reason so i i haven't had to deal with that you know but and even the addis adubo you know why i'm put oh yeah they were pulling me over because i was speeding like what are you this is not a question andison Dumble, you know why I'm pulling. Oh, yeah, they were pulling me over because I was speeding. Like, what are you? This is not a question and answer. Tell me why, you know, you're pulling me over. And then ask for license and registration.
Starting point is 00:49:11 I was so scared. I just was like, yeah, I know why. You know, I ain't about to be like, no. Did you let you keep your weed yet? I wasn't smoking at that time. Oh. Look, whatever. No.
Starting point is 00:49:23 It's just that I was speeding. And the cop just asked me like yeah you know why i pulled you over i'm like yeah i was speeding but i was on the speed because i didn't see you so and just one last point you know again sir lemaine's when we talk about mental health think about the anxiety these black men just listen they didn't watch it to see you know if the person looks suspicious or if the person was just black men listening to the the commands their anxiety went high enough to say hey something bad is about to happen and that's what i found really deep about this that just listening to the audio alone black men said hey 80 of chance this is going to escalate into something i thought that was
Starting point is 00:50:00 really deep having this conversation alone last time i got pulled over was on the way to work you know i'm saying so it's like five in the morning on them back roads in Jersey and it was dark out. I'm calling, I already got my wife on the phone, on speakerphone,
Starting point is 00:50:11 just in case. You know what I mean? Like that's where your mind goes when you're a black man and you get pulled over. I do that all the time anyway. If I ever get pulled over, I put someone on speaker.
Starting point is 00:50:20 It's usually my pops or my wife, either or. Put them on just so they can hear the conversation and what happened. And sometimes you be thinking, sadly, this might be the last time I talk to my significant other. Sadly.
Starting point is 00:50:30 That's right. Let's open up the phone lines. Let's have that discussion this morning. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about getting pulled over. Let's talk about the anxiety. Let's talk about, you know, how has, you know, when they pulled you over, how has it been for you?
Starting point is 00:50:41 Do you feel like they tell you what's going on, or do you feel like you have to ask and argue? Let's talk about it. I never thought about it until just now. Because I really feel like they don't never tell us until after they run our license and registration. It's no reason to feel like it. This report confirms it. So that's the great thing about having reports.
Starting point is 00:50:56 It confirms the data shows that they do not tell us. Opposed to white people that they say actually give the reason. Let's talk about it now. All right. 800-585-1051. Tez, thank you so much. It's The Breakfast Club on BET. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:51:20 It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Jess Hilarious is here. I am. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about drivers, black drivers getting pulled over.
Starting point is 00:51:39 Now, Charlamagne, you were talking about some stats that we just brought up. Well, yeah, you know, Teslin, Figaro reported in Front Page News, it was this Npr article that says for black drivers a police officer's first 45 words are a sign of what's to come so you know you know you're in some trouble based off a police officer's first 45 words and they say car stops that result in a search handcuffing our arrest are nearly three times more likely to begin with the police officer issuing a command such as keep your hands on the wheel or turn the car off now as a black man that's all i know that's why i like you know when they approach us now i already got my hands on the wheel i already got my window rolled down
Starting point is 00:52:16 by the time they come and ask me for license registration i'm asking them i'm like listen mr officer i'm going to reach for my wallet with my license in it. Like I'm already telling them how this is going to play out. So I've never had a time where we weren't getting orders. They don't they don't ever tell us when what we got pulled over for after they run our license and registration. And see, that's different for me because I've never I've had I've only experienced the opposite. I've always I'm always told why or asked, do I know why? I used to get pulled over a whole lot.
Starting point is 00:52:49 All the time I would get pulled over. And that's usually because I'm driving a nice car. And they would pull me over to see if I actually own the car. And driving while beige, which is something nobody ever talks about. It's always about driving while black. But driving while beige is a thing too. Shut up. So I would get pulled over all the time.
Starting point is 00:53:05 And the majority of the times when I got pulled over, no, they wouldn't tell me why they pulled me over. They would ask for license and registration first. And I'm always asking because I was always upset because I'm like, I ain't doing nothing wrong. Why are you pulling me over? Why are you pulling me over? And then they usually would try to come up with something left. Or there's a frame around your license plate or something bogus. Now when I get pulled over they they tell me i got
Starting point is 00:53:25 pulled over last week i was on my phone and they pulled over we pulled you over because you were on your phone the biggest one is always uh it used to be uh your taillight is out uh your brake light yeah your brake light was out yeah that that's always the one they always use no in new york they use in jersey they use uh if you have anything hanging from your rearview mirror and tent and tents and uh if you have a something around your license plate like if you have one of those frames which is messed up because when you buy a car from a dealership they usually comes with a frame it comes with the frame yeah um so those are usually the reasons why you get pulled over but let's go to the phone lines we
Starting point is 00:53:56 have jasmine on the line jasmine good morning good morning morning girl hey we're talking about getting pulled over while being black let Let's talk about it. Yeah. So, I had to commute like an hour from work. And I was running really late. And the next time I was late, I was getting three days off work. So, I was doing like 80 and a 60 when I got pulled over. But I was a little bit sad that day. I was like, as long as it's an officer, like, you know, is maybe younger,
Starting point is 00:54:25 or maybe black, or maybe younger at all. So, he pulled me over, and, um, he just asked me why I was going so fast. He didn't ask, like, for my insurance or my registration. He just asked me what actually was the car that was registered to me. And then, um, he asked me
Starting point is 00:54:41 why I was going so fast. I told him, like, you know, I told him my little voice, like, I'm so sorry. You know, I'm trying to get to work. If I'm late, I'm going to get three days off work. And, you know, that's my bad. He was like, okay, just let me see your license real quick. I showed him my license, and he let me go. So he let you go?
Starting point is 00:55:00 He let me go. Okay. I was really nervous, though like you know Just being pulled over While driving black Is always just like You know the situation And kind of being Out of service
Starting point is 00:55:09 Was the cop black? No he wasn't black Okay I know he wasn't white either He was made Hispanic He was other Okay He was other yes
Starting point is 00:55:17 I love you by the way I love you too girl I really hope That you're on here More often We love hearing you on here Thank you baby Thank you, baby. Thank you, mama.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, what's your name, brother? Yo, this is Heavy. What's going on? Heavy, good morning. Heavy, call it from that 843. I hear the Geechee in your voice.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Man, first off, Charlotte, me and you got a beat. We'll address that at another time. Yes, same thing with you, but we'll talk later. Envy, my beige twin brother what's going on man i'm here for the topic let's get you to let's no straight shots let's get to it talk to us about driving listen so for me my understanding i used to work for the city of charleston police department and north charleston so i'm gonna say this as clear day. I ain't got ties to law enforcement no more. I out the game. Black officers that I work with, we have a different playbook.
Starting point is 00:56:09 We approach everybody with a clear, concise, hey, officer so-and-so, this is why I pulled you over. That's out of the law, license, registration, proof of insurance. The people that come out there with that keep your hands where I can see them, a lot of them white boys, scared. That's the problem. That's real. They come into things scared. They already, I don't know what to do i don't got this i don't got that i just i gotta
Starting point is 00:56:30 control everything when you got that when you got the experiences you from the city and you're usually dealing with people that you grew up with most of the people i pull up i pull over i know you from the way i know you're on the way i even know your ears what it is fine i'm not hostile when i come to the car. I don't got no issues. I don't got no nothing. I'm going to approach you like a man or a woman. Until you pose a threat, I'm not taking you as one.
Starting point is 00:56:54 The problem is a lot of people get behind that gun and pass. They think that pass gives them power, and they're scary when they do the job. They should implement a new rule for law enforcement. If you can't take a punch to the face and fight for your life, you can't carry a gun. That's the problem. A lot of these people ain't punch to the face and fight for your life, you can't carry a gun. That's the problem. A lot of these people ain't been hitting the face yet. And if you ain't been hitting the face, you're quick to pull a trigger before you put your hands up. That's real.
Starting point is 00:57:20 And I wish that all those law enforcement officers knew that we just as afraid as they are, if not more afraid, because we don't got the gun. Very true. Very true, man. How you bring a gun to a conversation fight and tell them what it seems true that's right you're right you don't want to bring the gun and we thought we out here talking all i got is conversation for all you know and now you want you want me to stay calm and you jittery you're right you got this thing on the trigger and you jittery for what that's right you got me in your sights what it is and and even when cops ask you you know why if they ask you, like, why, why are you acting so nervous? Like, man, have you watched the news?
Starting point is 00:57:47 What are you talking about? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Well, 800-585-1051. We're talking to the black drivers out there. Have you got pulled up? What was your experience? Were you nervous?
Starting point is 00:57:55 Were you scared? They said there was a new study that came out that said the first 45 words. Yeah, there was an NPR article that says for black drivers or police officers, first 45 words are a sign of what's to come. So if the officer's already giving you orders instead of asking you license and registration or telling you what you got pulled over for, if he's telling you, put your hands on the wheel, isn't that, keep your hands where I can see them, you're probably going to get arrested. You already know. Your car's going to get searched. That's right.
Starting point is 00:58:17 800-585-1051. Let's discuss this. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.
Starting point is 00:58:29 I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia.
Starting point is 00:58:42 I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. 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 warheads.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Starting point is 01:03:25 and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

Starting point is 01:04:11 We are The Breakfast Club. We have Jess Hilarious here, our co-host. Yes. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about a new study that came out talking about black drivers and saying when police officers pull you over, the first 45 words that come out of their mouth is usually how the, I guess, the stop is going to come. Yeah, they said if, you know, first 45 words from a police officer
Starting point is 01:04:32 usually determine whether you're going to get searched, handcuffed, or arrested. You see, you're three times more likely to have those things happen if the police officer issues a command first before anything else. Like, put your hands on the wheel you know keep your hands where i can see them that type of stuff and i'm really surprised you only got
Starting point is 01:04:49 pulled over twice in your life twice in my life that's surprising yeah yes as much as you be riding dirty i don't ride dirty i just put that out there like i don't know i don't know why you think i was just so notorious before no all of that uh facetiming and driving You be doing Instagram Live and driving Yes That should be illegal Okay, well They should pull you over If you know how to do it You'll be fine
Starting point is 01:05:11 That's why they got All types of gadgets And gidgets That you can prop the phone up And you'll be fine I don't never have My phone in my hand They stop you for that too
Starting point is 01:05:18 What? They'll stop you For being on Instagram Live on your phone Oh, if it's in your hand But if it's on a gadget They don't know That'd be funny as hell.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Somebody pull you over and be like, license and registration, you're just a liar. I was just watching you live. I was just watching you live. Oh, my God. I was just watching you live
Starting point is 01:05:32 and saw you ride by. That would be hilarious, actually. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, what's your name? This is Zach out of Houston. Hey, what's up, brother? Talk to us.
Starting point is 01:05:41 So, yeah, man, like the topic of the day, I was talking about, you know, pulling you over, you know. I'm from, I'm in Houston. brother talk to us family events and stuff like that. I know we have a good time, you know, trying to have fun with our family and stuff, but I ain't allowed to use that time to let them know, especially my younger cousins, because, you know, they're hot-headed. So, hey, when y'all get pulled over, and especially
Starting point is 01:06:15 because I know we be drinking, like, and stuff like that, try not to drive, but if y'all get pulled over, like, this is what they got to take, because it's already, you know, I don't want my family to be on the news trying to talk about just stuff like that. If y'all drinking and driving, y'all deserve to go to jail. You're like, why would he say that? Like, what?
Starting point is 01:06:34 I don't have no remorse for you. Oh, Andrew, everybody needs to stay in the house. Like, not go home drunk, yo. Call a ride share. You know what I mean? Like, what? Hello, who's this? This is Kyle from Cleveland. Hey, Kyle from Cleveland. Talk to us about being pulled over, yo. Call a ride share. You know what I mean? Like, what? Hello, who's this? This is Kyle from Cleveland. Hey, Kyle from Cleveland.
Starting point is 01:06:48 Talk to us about being pulled over, brother. So, as a black man being pulled over, my experiences have differed from the cop coming up and telling me what he's pulled me over for, and the cop coming up and giving me commands, and
Starting point is 01:07:04 what I noticed was different was if i had an active warrant for something going on with me because they could see all that when they run my place or run anybody's place so that could be a definite factor in how they approach the car if they're if they're running your car and they see you have a active warrant and it's uh approach with caution or armed and dangerous of course you're going to come up to the window and start giving commands but uh if they're the problem is if you're clean and they come up and start with the aggressive commands stuff like that but i feel like that's how they always approach us you know i mean because
Starting point is 01:07:39 i feel like once they run you they get your license and registration don't tell you what they're pulling you over for then after they run your license and registration. Don't tell you what they're pulling you over for. Then after they run your license and registration, they come back to the car and say, well, the reason I pulled you over was because your tint was too dark or because you were swerving. You're like, you know damn well I wasn't swerving. But you're just happy to be cool and get off. Not to cut you off, Charlamagne,
Starting point is 01:07:59 but when they run your plate, when they run your license, if the car's in your name, they can see everything off your license, all right? So, you know what I'm saying? So, if you have something going on, they already know before they ask for anything, before they tell you why they really pulled you over into that. You know, and I always wonder with everything that we know in this world and all the tech that we have, when they run those plates, they should be able to see if those cars have insurance, if they registered and all that. Like, it should all be connected. I never understand why they have to take your stuff and then bring it back to the car to double check.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Like, everything should pop up. I understand the license because you don't know who's driving the car, but you should know as soon as you run them plates if that car has insurance, if that car has a registration, if that car and all that other stuff, you know? Yeah, so I'll tell you real quick. I got pulled over one time, and the reason the cop gave me was because he said and
Starting point is 01:08:46 i didn't have like i had my license but it was expired right but my car literally was expired and he said he could see that from running my plate that i didn't have a valid like non-expired license like my license was good but my card was expired he said he could see that registration card yeah i mean that thanks for calling that happens a lot. So if they run your plates, whoever's the owner of that vehicle, if your license is suspended, that pops right up. So if they run your plates, that's usually why they pull you over because your license is suspended. Now, it could be your wife driving, your husband driving, or your children driving, but that's how they run. But the one thing I hate is in New Jersey, I think in New York as well,
Starting point is 01:09:22 that if you don't have your insurance card with you, let's say you left your insurance card at the home or at the crib or your insurance card expired and you forgot to put the new one in. If you don't have your insurance card, you have to go to court. That's right. Which is stupid to me. You have to actually physically go to court and take a day off of work and give them that insurance card, which I think a lot of that should be able to see. So I always tell people, take a picture of your insurance card.
Starting point is 01:09:45 At least you have it in your phone. I just want to tell you, if you're in the New York, New Jersey area and you work at a DMV and you want to help your Uncle Charlotte out, I just want to get in and get out real quick because my license expires on June 29th, 2023. You know what I mean? And you know, you would really be doing me a solid.
Starting point is 01:10:02 You know? It expires soon like that. June 29th, 2020. Don't you have an assistant? That's his birthday. He can't. He's a sister. He gotta go. Yeah, I gotta go.
Starting point is 01:10:09 But you can fill out paperwork now. If you fill it out now, they'll send a new one to Chris. Well, just tell me what I need to do, y'all. You know what I'm saying? Like Jess said, you got an assistant. You have an assistant. Help me out.
Starting point is 01:10:17 Okay? That's your moral of the story? That's my moral of the story. And she's white, so she can get you right up in there, right up out of there. You know what I mean? So you good.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Yo, we got Jess with the mess coming up. What are we talking about? Ooh, Beyonce. She lied. She was alongside Blue Ivy over the weekend. We're going to talk about that. Why are you singing like that? I don't know, because I was lost for a second.
Starting point is 01:10:39 Then I had to come back. Y'all already know how I come back with it. All right. Jess Hilarious. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are. All right. Jess Hilarious. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.
Starting point is 01:10:46 Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Jess Hilarious is here. I am. And let's get to Jess with the mess. It's Jess with the mess. So my news is real. Here we go.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Now the ghetto. This is the rumor report. So my news is real. On the Breakfast Club. Ooh. Honey, it's ghetto up in here. That's the intro you like. Yes. That's the intro i like and i want noted just adding allegedly to it red just put that's the one she likes please and add an allegedly to it
Starting point is 01:11:12 social media reacts to blue ivy performing in paris dorm renaissance world tour now i'm mad at this for a couple reasons i'm not mad that she's performing i'm mad at how the comments were swarming against this little girl. What you mean? Because they were saying she was stiff. And, you know, Beyonce had Blue up there performing. She actually got to do her choreography this time. Remember now, a couple weeks ago, a couple months ago,
Starting point is 01:11:37 we saw Blue Ivy performing alongside her mother in Dubai. This was the Dubai Renaissance. I think that was a charity concert. And Blue was trying to do her dances. And B was like, oh, no, wait was the Dubai Renaissance. I think that was a charity concert. And Blue was trying to do her dances. And B was like, oh, no, wait, wait, wait. But now she's actually doing the choreography. And she ain't doing too much movement. People in the comments coming at her talking about she's stiff this and stiff that.
Starting point is 01:11:57 And she can't dance. I hate that, though. Imagine the pressure of Beyonce being your mom and you not wanting to mess up at all you know she looked a little a little little little nervous when it was the part where beyonce was doing a move and then she was right there then she turned around she went back and said get a girl like you got this on your own and people look like well damn did we rehearse this part well she's 11 11 years old 11 years old i think just them coming at her is the problem that I have. That sounds so stupid.
Starting point is 01:12:26 What about social media? If you expect social media to have any type of integrity or respect kids, that's not going to happen. But you can also tell that a lot of people don't have kids. Like, you know, I have two daughters that are in dance. And it takes them a long time to get the dance together. And then when they get the dance together, then they have to get comfortable in doing the dance. And it takes time. You're on a huge stage with all these people.
Starting point is 01:12:44 She's 11. You know how stupid your kids look in the middle of the living room we see you on stage in paris getting it in your little kids looking stiff on stage in the living room you know what i'm saying look at this and when they do something dumb and jump up with both of their hands in the air you're supposed to be like yeah we gotta act like we like it exactly yeah i hate that but you know what it's always like that with these stars and their kids like um and then i don't like how they could start comparing kids. So they're like, oh, Bow Wow's daughter would have ate this up.
Starting point is 01:13:07 Oh, this girl would have ate this up. They always coming at Blue Ivy, I feel like. Well, Bow Wow's daughter get busy, though. Bow Wow's daughter. I'm talking about go crazy. No, no, she get busy. Go crazy. She get crazy.
Starting point is 01:13:18 But she would body adults. Yeah. I'm talking about she dance better than her mother. And Joey can dance. That's my girl. I love to see her dance. But yeah, we got some kids that would have killed it. But Blue Ivy is killing it her own way.
Starting point is 01:13:30 And I think the effortlessly killing it is better. Because she did everything she needed to do. She fine. All right. Meek Mill and DJ Drama get into a social media beef. What's up with all the DJs in the drama? Jesus, what is happening? The light-skinned ones, too.
Starting point is 01:13:44 I know. All the beige ones. Look, I just saw... What's up with all the DJs in the drama? Jesus, what is happening? The light-skinned ones, too. I know. Oh, yeah. All the beige ones. Look, I just saw... What's up? You had a meeting? I just saw a DJ drama not too long ago,
Starting point is 01:13:51 and he don't look nothing like he sound. That was the first time you ever seen him? Never even seen him. He was a little cutie giving him a little something. I just thought about this,
Starting point is 01:13:59 but all the beige DJs are waging war against MMG. Oh, my God. Oh! Wale, you next. A new Wale. Wale's next. Wow.
Starting point is 01:14:10 What DJ? DJ Khaled going to get into a Wale? Is Khaled light-skinned? I wouldn't call Khaled light-skinned. What you going to call him? Dark-skinned? No. What are you going to call him?
Starting point is 01:14:17 Oh, he's just other. Yeah, we're going to do other. I took it too far. Meek Mill, he got some things off his chest. Now, listen, I'm going to read this tweet as good as I can, guys, because we don't have audio envy of him saying anything. So I have to read this. Let us pray. Meek Mill.
Starting point is 01:14:32 Come on, Jess. She says you want to do as good as you can. You got it. I got your back. Let's go. I asked Drama why he always speaking down on me with a few words, too. I told him he's a goofy. I also hit him when he tried to compare Dreams and Nightmares to I Want to Rock and and downplay me don't let these industry lames use you they don't really even like
Starting point is 01:14:49 you shaking my head lol so this is making his feelings now we know Mika all wouldn't he's always in his feelings but I do think he had he had sort of a reason we got audio about what GJ drama said what he said I feel like Meek Mill is the Jay-Z of our culture. Well, the culture under you. You think it's Drake. You see how he look at me? A thousand percent. He was smoking. Dope. He was smoking.
Starting point is 01:15:10 I mean, Drake came out in, what, 08? It's 2023. He changed the sound of hip hop. Yeah, I mean, that's right. Yeah, for sure. He's literally ran every summer. The only comparison that, for me, for you to say Meek, is that like Meek is more connected to the streets. I think that is true.
Starting point is 01:15:32 Meek is more connected to the streets. But in the same breath, I don't think that he needs to be compared to Jay-Z because I don't think in any way, shape or form he's like that. Can we take a step back for a second? What's up? We've never had that conversation. There's never been a conversation about who's the the new jay-z or drake that's not i mean i've heard people talk about drake being that next person you know drake has drake has said he's the new like the new jay-z and records all right or something along those lines but i've never heard meek in those conversations
Starting point is 01:15:59 salute to me but i've never heard you in those conversations no neither have i um and then so you know there's kind of been a little bit of back and forth, but DJ Drama also said this. Philly's in the Super Bowl. Of course. And you're like the mayor out there. I got to know, man. You know, anything special up the sleeve, man?
Starting point is 01:16:15 Well, you know, you did see Lil Uzi Vert bring out the Eagles to victory against the 49ers, what I just want to rock. I think it's fair to say that I Just Want to Rock has replaced, with all due respect, Dreams and Nightmares as the new anthem of Philadelphia, as the new anthem of the Philadelphia Eagles this year. So I'm looking forward to hearing that song many, many times Super Bowl weekend. Now, I thought drama was bugging when he said that, too. But the key words in that moment was this year.
Starting point is 01:16:45 Right. But I would say this that moment was this year. Right. But I would say this. He said this year. And also, Lil Uzi Vert is his artist. That is his artist. And not only that, to go back to what you said, yes, when Meek first came out, everybody said that Meek was the new Jay-Z, not as in selling records and not selling albums, but as far as what he meant to the streets.
Starting point is 01:17:01 I've never heard this. Yes, absolutely. This is new to me. Because he was a young rapper coming from the streets, talking about what the streets was going through. So a lot of people compared him to how Hov came out talking about the streets. I don't remember any of those comparisons. Salute to Meek.
Starting point is 01:17:13 Meek is his own entity. Not as selling records, but as far as what he was doing and giving the streets encouragement and some of the stuff that he was talking about was early Hov. I did definitely, absolutely positive. You remember? I never heard that one. No, I don't. And I also want to give a shout out to Jay Hill, the podcast that he was talking about was early hope i did definitely absolutely positive you remember i never heard that one but no i don't to me and i also want to give a shout out to jay hill the podcast that dj drama was on that's baltimore's own mr jay hill
Starting point is 01:17:31 okay okay can we drop a bomb phone real quick because that's my guy right there all right thank you i mean and clearly it must have been a conversation if jay hill bought that up yeah yeah yeah but you know i just never heard the conversation i mean before this this week i would have said i would have would have loved for them brothers to get on the phone but somebody might have taped it. But I would have loved for them brothers. I mean, they're both from Philly. They know each other.
Starting point is 01:17:49 They've been in this industry a long time with each other. I would have loved for them brothers to actually have a conversation and speak out their differences. Because I hate going back and forth with brothers. Going back and forth online. Especially the brothers that know each other. They know each other. Are you in drama going beige ball? Meek Mill and Rick Ross now?
Starting point is 01:18:04 Is it a beige ball against MMG? What are you talking about? Yeah, what are we talking about? Anyway, listen. Yo, dang, I just had a brain fog. Is he a dumb question? God. But it was literally about me ending the news.
Starting point is 01:18:18 Damn, never mind. Say what else you was going to say. This is stupid. It is. Yeah, good thing it's time to go anyway. That's crazy. Oh, that's what I i want to say hold up my bed real quick so i actually really do like i want to rock but dreams and nightmares classic for football classic oh it gets me in the mood for football i just want to rock i don't feel like i'm at football i want to dance but no that dreams
Starting point is 01:18:39 and nightmares gotta gotta go for football it's the biggest record store it is still it don't matter yeah i love i want to rock it's been out what 10 years when you put that time on dreams gotta go for football. It's the biggest record still in the club to this day. It is still. It don't matter. Yeah, I love I Wanna Rock. It's been out what, 10 years? Yes. When you put that time on Dreams and Nightmares, Dreams and Nightmares
Starting point is 01:18:49 is a classic. But he also said this year. He said this year during the Super Bowl season which Dreams and Nightmares That made the statement less stupid.
Starting point is 01:18:56 Yeah, Lil Uzi Vert's record was big during that time. I still don't know if it was bigger than Dreams and Nightmares. Nope. I don't think there's anything bigger than Dreams.
Starting point is 01:19:03 Well, in the club during that time that record was huge. It's crazy. But there's no record to this day as far as now. Dreaming Nightmare is like Frankie Beverly before I let Ghost out. I'm telling you. I'm telling you.
Starting point is 01:19:13 It's one of the ones. Dreams of Nightmare is the song that they play before the last song in the club. They play it. Yes. All of that. That's one of them ones, man. Listen. Yep.
Starting point is 01:19:23 Well, that was just with the mess for this hour. All right, Sean. Her news is real, allegedly. Give me a donkey too, man. Man, four after the hour, I need the organizers of a Juneteenth event in Greenville, South Carolina to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with them, please. All right, we'll get to that next.
Starting point is 01:19:37 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things.
Starting point is 01:20:10 I called Donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlemagne. Who got the Donkey of the Day today? Well, Jess Hilarious, Donkey of the Day for Monday, May 30th goes to the organizers of a Greenville, South Carolina Juneteenth event. Salute to the 864, all my upstate South Carolina brethren. What's happening? Dropping the clues bombs for them.
Starting point is 01:20:31 Okay. Now, we know what Juneteenth is, right? An American black holiday celebrated on June 19th to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in America. Well, in Greenville, for whatever reason, they decided to use white models to promote the holiday marking the emancipation of black slaves. You heard me right. They decided to use white models to promote the holiday marking the emancipation of black slaves. Now, when I first saw this, I thought it was fake. I thought it was one of those things somebody created and put online just to get a reaction out of people. But lo and behold, I was wrong. Let's go to Wcnc charlotte
Starting point is 01:21:05 for the report please because we are seeing backlash on social media tonight as marketing material for a juneteenth celebration in the carolinas well this is a picture of a juneteenth banner in greenville south carolina circulating online it is drawing some ire and it shows as you can see here a white couple advertising this upcoming Juneteenth celebration. The lead organizer says that they were trying to portray how everyone is welcomed to join in Juneteenth celebrations. That said, organizers are apologizing for the execution of that message. We understand that it's a very sensitive subject, especially in the African-American community. And we failed at making sure that we completely centered African-Americans at the center of our marketing, of all of our marketing.
Starting point is 01:21:55 Organizers, after apologizing, say that they plan to change the banners to feature now just the Juneteenth and the Pan-African flags. You know, you never see black people blackwashing white culture. And a few times you do see black people being given inclusion in something white. You get reactions like, you know, I highly got for the Little Mermaid, you know, and I have no idea, you know, why we think we need white people as the face of Juneteenth. As much backlash as we give Republican legislators for trying to retell American history and for creating laws to keep real discussions of race out of schools and banning books about race and for trying to hide the truth about this country, especially in regards to anything to do with black people.
Starting point is 01:22:35 Why is a black person? Would you ever want or think to gentrify Juneteenth? Are you doing this? So Starbucks gives us our own specialty drink? Do you want a caramel black-a-chino for Juneteenth? What's that thing you be drinking, Envy? The lemonade? No, the mac- Macchiato? Macchiato. Macchiato.
Starting point is 01:22:54 You want a sweet potato macchiato? Macchiato. Macchiato. Macchiato, yeah, macchiato. You want a sweet potato macchiato? Huh? Do you think those flavors can only be obtained by including mayonnaise on the Juneteenth menu? Oh, I know what it is.
Starting point is 01:23:07 You want Whole Foods to have a Juneteenth special. You want organic chicken and seedless organic watermelon on sale. You think those things can only happen if white people are involved. This is just like when they took the five heartbeats off the cover of their album because the label thought it would help sell better with white people on the cover which was actually a thing they used to always do this in music okay it's like yeah back in the day it'd be black artists but it'd be white people on the cover it's like brad pitt playing the mexican or tom cruise playing the last samurai okay now the co-founder pete lee said the last thing we want to do is exclude people uh like they did for us which is true but you don't have to exclusively invite the people
Starting point is 01:23:46 that actually did us wrong all right this is the celebration of our people being free all right that's like getting released from jail and inviting the cop and judge that sent you away to your welcome home party okay you know what i don't even know why i'm trying to explain this uh my good sister amanda seals had some thoughts about this and she summed it up quite nicely. Let's listen. Dear black people, Juneteenth is our day. You don't have to feel any kind of way about white people not being included
Starting point is 01:24:14 in Juneteenth because they are included in Juneteenth as the descendants of enslavers. But Juneteenth should be about unity. Why? This country is not about unity. Juneteenth is an american holiday if you're not going to teach true history in american schools then don't come trying to take black holidays and call them american holidays the point is is that black folks can be all right celebrating a day for black folks without feeling like we have to include other folks. I don't see Christians spinning dreidels for Hanukkah ads.
Starting point is 01:24:47 Hey, points are made. Please give the organizers of Juneteenth in Greenville the sweet sounds of the hammer tones, please. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day you are the donkey of the day yee haw yee haw
Starting point is 01:25:13 yee haw alright this whole story got me thinking why is there not a sweet potato macarena what's it called oh my god that's cause you don't even know what it is macchiato why is there not a sweet potato macchiato wouldn't that be fire you don't need know what it is. It's macchiato. Why is there not a sweet potato macchiato? Wouldn't that be fire? You don't need it.
Starting point is 01:25:26 Have you ever had a macchiato? No. Okay. I just feel like a warm sweet potato flavored beverage from Starbucks would be amazing. Starbucks is not going to be sweet enough. You know, they stingy on the sugar. We got to go to Dunkin'. Ooh.
Starting point is 01:25:39 Dunkin'. Dunkin'. They capitalize on the sugar. Now, Dunkinin has been a fantastic sponsor of the Breakfast Club really we might need to do that
Starting point is 01:25:49 for Juneteenth that's right Breakfast Club sweet potato hot chocolate oh that would be good sweet potato hot something that would be good
Starting point is 01:25:57 and then maybe y'all can stop buying so much Starbucks that's not happening why would you lie well you know and they charge you if you say if you go to Starbucks and say no ice you know they charge Well you know And they charge you If you say
Starting point is 01:26:05 If you go to Starbucks And say no ice You know they charge you Extra for that They charge you extra For no ice Yeah cause it means You want more juice
Starting point is 01:26:10 More of the lemonade Y'all like this Y'all like this stuff I'm a Dunkin Donuts Person myself Dunkin Holla at the Breakfast Club

Starting point is 01:26:41 He was upset about a few things. Oh, my God. He posted this. He said, dear sister Jess Hilarious, you misrepresented my words on your recent Breakfast Club conversation with Brother Shameek Moore. Based on reports I received, I criticized the possibility of the new movie showcasing Snow Bunny hopping to our black children. Having not yet viewed the movie myself, I was in no position to tell others not to support it. Nothing but respect for you, sister, but please try not to misquote your brother going forward appreciatively did you misquote him i didn't no i didn't i don't think it was a misquote i don't know it wasn't a misquote

Was there a snow puppy? Let's open up the phone lines. What is the question? 800-585-1051. Do you agree with Dr. Umar? Is Umar on to something? Is this a conspiracy that they can't even show black love in cartoons and in fictional

Starting point is 01:28:46 It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about Dr. Umar Johnson. Dr. Umar Johnson. Now, what happened with Dr. Umar? I mean, a few things. You know, he put up a post, and he said that he felt like Jess Hilarious misrepresented his words on Breakfast Club because based on the report he received, he criticized the possibility of the new movie Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse Part 2 showcasing snow bunny hopping to our black children. So he said he hasn't seen the movie yet, so he wasn't in no position to tell others not to support it.
Starting point is 01:29:23 So I guess Jess, you must have said. I didn't in no position to tell others not to support it. So I guess Jesse must have said. I didn't tell nobody that he said that not to support it. He just had a problem with the snow bunny. And, you know, it was just a lot that he said that he didn't like about the movie. I didn't say that he told nobody to go see it. Did I say that? I don't know if you said that or not. But I know what I said was true, Dr.
Starting point is 01:29:42 Kumar. Come on now. I know what I said is true. And it just is what it is. Clearly, Dr. Umar is not for it. He said this over the weekend as well. Can somebody help me understand this new spider cartoon? I don't follow the cartoon.
Starting point is 01:29:54 Spider-Man across the universe. Spider-Man across the universe. And he's bunny hopping in the damn trailer I saw on YouTube. How the hell you gonna have a black superhero cartoon for our children? And he's lusting and thirsting over the skim milk in the damn trailer. This is insane. How you gonna have a cartoon bunny hopping over the white girl in the cartoon? Lord have mercy. And then what is it little mermaid they said little mermaid is swimming in the milk she is bunny hopping too little mermaid got a snow puppy insane
Starting point is 01:30:33 brothers and sisters we can't even have a cartoon with black on black love it's getting out of control so we just asking the simple question 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts? Does Dr. Umar have a point? We'll start with you, Jess. What do you think? I think he got, I mean, no. No, no. No, I was trying to go there.
Starting point is 01:30:52 You know, I was trying to, you know. See, I kind of, you know, the whole thing with these movies, with this Spider-Man and The Little Mermaid, all types of kids watch it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:00 It's not like, oh, only black kids watch it, or only Spanish kids watch it, or only Asian kids watch it, or only white kids watch it. So's not like, oh, only black kids watch it, or only Spanish kids watch it, or only Asian kids watch it, or only white kids watch it. So, I understand what these cartoon makers are trying to do is they're trying to make it inclusive where there's so many different kids. There's so many different elements
Starting point is 01:31:14 of people in these cartoons. There's black kids, there's white kids, there's Asian kids, there's Spanish kids. That's why The Little Mermaid blew me just a little bit. I don't want to give too much of the movie away. That's your cousin, honey. Watch it. Holly, Ariel to give too much of the movie away but that's your cousin honey watching holly the ariel's daddy is white in the movie that's a little confusing and she got mad sisters and they're all different colors oh no the only thing i could think about was they are fish
Starting point is 01:31:37 yeah when you have a colony of fish colony of fish be all types of different colors that's the only that's that's the only thing i was like like don't be just throwing diversity in there for the sake of diversity i make it make sense but also like this this is for kids i don't think a kid looked at it like this and say mommy why is ariel why is ariel black and daddy white my young daughters be looking for that kind of stuff my young father my young my young daughter be wanting to know where the brown skin at? Where the black women at? They be wanting to know. But you said they had
Starting point is 01:32:06 different complexions of skin. They did. Isn't that what you want? Even like Dora the Explorer, right? Dora the Explorer is Spanish, right? Is she Mexican, right? Yeah. I mean, Dora.
Starting point is 01:32:16 Dora, right? But I don't think anybody ever... I don't ever think everybody looks at it like that. The kids just enjoy the cartoon. That's not true. She speaks Spanish. These kids learn.
Starting point is 01:32:24 These kids... But they just... I don't think anybody was like, oh, what is her complexion? These kids just enjoy the cartoon. That's not true. She speaks Spanish. These kids learn. These kids be... But they just... I don't think anybody was like, oh, what is her complexion? These kids just watch the cartoon. That ain't true, yo. No, that's not true. My daughters be on it.
Starting point is 01:32:33 My seven-year-old and my four-year-old, they be looking. They be like, there's no black people in this. Or there's no black women in this. They say that they be peeping that stuff. All they dolls are black. They want black dolls on purpose.
Starting point is 01:32:44 They want dolls that look like them and represent them. My kids the same. It's black. They want black dolls on purpose. They want dolls that look like them and represent them. My kids the same. It's biased. You're their dad. All you do is preach. Yo, you have a picture
Starting point is 01:32:51 of Harriet Tubman in your house as soon as you walk in there. That's all they see. That's all they know is just her. They probably think that's their dad
Starting point is 01:32:58 or grandmother. You know what's so funny? Just came to the house and she was like, yo, what is that? And I was like, that's my grandma, yo. Be cool. She was like, that ain't and i was like that's my grandma yo be cool
Starting point is 01:33:05 but she's like i need your damn grandma i walk in like at the tippy top of mushrooms and and and uh harriet tubman is just on the wall with a charlemagne pose though he ain't even he had he had to like draw a portrait of of her with a black effect but but that is not true hey yo no but she definitely had the black effect pose. You know how you always do this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like when you really want people to think
Starting point is 01:33:29 you're thinking about something. Yeah, you're serious. And that's how it is. She in there like this, even with the lips like... Judging. She never did that. Yeah, she straight judging
Starting point is 01:33:36 as soon as you walk through. It's like, dang, yo. Solomon got Harriet something with a black effect hat on with the lips poked up. That is not true. So if his daughters are saying this, it's because look at the experience.
Starting point is 01:33:48 I mean, look at the dad they have. And there is one thing that dad also says. I like black love. I do like seeing black men with black women. Me too. So I understand what Dr. Umar is coming from. I don't know if it's a conspiracy. Right.
Starting point is 01:34:02 It's not a conspiracy. I understand where he's coming from most of the time. But, yeah, I just think it's like a lot. And it's like, all right. Yeah, because, you know, I agree. But I also think that these people who make these cartoons are making these cartoons to have big box office numbers. And they want everybody to come see it. Black little girls and boys and Asian little boys and girls and Spanish little boys and girls.
Starting point is 01:34:21 They're trying to get everybody there. Hello, who's this? Yo. Yo, what's your name, brother? Oh, it's Greco who's this? Yo. Yo, what's your name, brother? Oh, it's Greco. Everything with that. Greco, what's your opinions, brother? I agree with Uwaw to a certain extent
Starting point is 01:34:32 because it's like the Little Mermaid. Okay, they changed it and put a little black girl. Why couldn't they have black people in the boat that was in trouble and needed help and she saved somebody black? She had to save a white guy who didn't know what they looked like
Starting point is 01:34:45 or didn't know what they looked like or what. Hey, I thought about that too. You know what else I thought about? How come they just don't make Little Mermaid
Starting point is 01:34:51 be somewhere in the Caribbean? Where's Sebastian the Crab come from? Why are you the only person with a Jamaican name? Yeah, he's Jamaican. Like, I don't understand that. I ain't get that either.
Starting point is 01:34:59 I'm beyond it. And even, and even, and even, even in, in your life, in your life, but even there, the white girl in spite of us, he's supposed to be from Queens.
Starting point is 01:35:11 It's no more black girls or Spanish girls that he could be involved with? No, I think Miles Morales is from Brooklyn. He's Puerto Rican and black from Brooklyn. What? Okay, even fair. It's still 718. It's still 718.

All right. Tell Jeff with the mess. How you doing, baby? Relieve that stress and keep doing your best. Thank you, honey. Relieve that stress and keep doing your best.

Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. Looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.
Starting point is 01:41:41 Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, what's up? This is Ramses Jha.

Starting point is 01:43:03 Listen to Civic Cipher every Saturday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 01:43:24 We are The Breakfast Club. Of course, Jess Hilarious is here, our co-host. And we're asking if you just joined us. These are the statements Dr. Umar made about the new Spider-Man movie and the new Little Mermaid movie. He wanted to see more black love, and he said he didn't see that. Listen. Can somebody help me understand this new spider cartoon? I don't follow the cartoon.
Starting point is 01:43:43 Spider-Man across the universe. Spider-Man across the universe spider-man across the universe and he's bunny hopping in the damn trailer i saw on youtube how the hell you gonna have a black superhero cartoon for our children and he's lusting and thirsting over the skim milk in the damn trailer. This is insane. How you gonna have a cartoon bunny hopping over the white girl in the cartoon? Lord have mercy. And then what is it, Little Mermaid? They said Little Mermaid is swimming in the milk. She is bunny hopping too.
Starting point is 01:44:18 Little Mermaid got a snow puppy. Insane, brothers and sisters. We can't even have a cartoon with black on black love it's getting out of control i agree we need more black love i like seeing black men with black women but you made a good point envy you know a lot of this just has to do with money in business yeah you know what i mean so if you already got a black and puerto rican spider-man which miles morales is and you got a black little mermaid i guess you know they feel like they do have to balance out the cast by having them have white love interest.
Starting point is 01:44:46 Correct. And then it's not only black and white people. It's so many other races probably sent home like, dang. You know, so this goes back to Envy's point where he was saying it's not. I think it's good to see Hallie. It's good to see, you know, all types of shades of colors, you know, and as opposed to just seeing white all the time you know i think it's good and it's really important that we highlight that portion of it as well because it's not only black kids or and white kids in the world hello who's this
Starting point is 01:45:13 this is dana hey dana good morning talk to us dana good morning what is this school what is this school oh you're talking about dr umar school's school? Yeah, where's the school? He got the school. It's in Delaware. It's open? I think he's waiting on accreditation. But no, if you follow Dr. Umar online and on YouTube and stuff, he definitely has the school. It's the Frederick Douglass Marcus Garvey Academy, I believe it is. Right. Hello?
Starting point is 01:45:40 Lauren? Hello? Can you hear me? Lauren, good morning. How you feeling? Good morning. How are you? What's your thoughts, Lauren. Hello, can you hear me? Lauren, good morning. How you feeling? Good morning. How are you? What's your thoughts, Lauren?
Starting point is 01:45:47 Okay, so I think I haven't seen it, so I'm going to go ahead and say that. But I feel like he needs to remember to be less judgmental and more loving since that point, right? Right. Interesting. Less judgmental, more loving. That's interesting. I think it's a valid. I'm just saying, you know, right? Right. Interesting. Less judgmental, more loving. That's interesting. I think it's a valid... I'm just saying, you know,
Starting point is 01:46:08 it's deceitful if you're out there saying one thing and then, like, sassing somebody. That's not love. That's not compassion. That's not goodness at all.
Starting point is 01:46:19 You know what I mean? I think it's a valid question. I think his compassion is just with his people. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not saying that he is, with his people. You know what I mean? I'm not saying that he is hating. You know what I mean? But it's just...
Starting point is 01:46:30 Can I say this? Because that's a really good point. What's that? If you don't have compassion for people, or let's say you have compassion for just one people group, we know where that leads, right? Where? You tell us. I'm telling you that if you don't,
Starting point is 01:46:45 if you have just love for one people. That's true. That creates supremacy. That automatically creates division. Yes, I get what you're saying. You got one kid, I got five kids. I got to split that up, you know? But I would also say this too.
Starting point is 01:47:02 My kids go to daycare. And daycare, there's every race daycare and in daycare there's every race you know there's black kids there's white kids there's asian kids there's it does the spanish kids but see my kids my youngest daughter she's what 18 months old she doesn't play with a kid because a kid is black she doesn't play with a kid because a kid is spanish she doesn't play with a kid because a kid is white she plays with a kid because they're kids but they do get to a certain age where they do start looking for representation yes i mean it starts very very young especially when they're watching their favorite cartoons or reading their books like
Starting point is 01:47:32 the stuff they gravitate towards are you know stuff that has representations of them in them at least that's how my my kids my kids are the same but you know with with this i didn't see any of these in any of these movies but you know is there representation for for every race in these movies it seems like little mermaid for every race in these movies? It seems like you said. Little Mermaid got a little too much representation. Of what? It's just too much.
Starting point is 01:47:50 I know. When you said her dad is white, it's like, okay. Her dad is white. Okay. He got mad daughters, and the mom is dead. And the mom is dead? Yeah, the mom is dead. And all her sisters look totally different.
Starting point is 01:48:02 So we got other babies with other women I don't know They didn't explain that I was trying to I was asking my wife that Cause I didn't They didn't explain that And like you know
Starting point is 01:48:12 The only thing they said The only thing I could think of Was well they are all fish When you see colonies of fish They mad different colors That's true And Little Mermaid's love interest
Starting point is 01:48:21 In the movie is a white guy But his mom a black His mom black. His mom are black. Yeah, they mixed up. And the daddy ain't around. Wow. My wife said he was adopted, but I must have fell asleep on that part.
Starting point is 01:48:32 I must have went to go get popcorn, so I missed that part. So if his mom are black, don't that make him black? I don't think that was his real mom. I think he was adopted. See, it's a lot going on there. It's a lot. Too much going on in Little Mermaid, yo. It's a lot going on.
Starting point is 01:48:42 Yeah. A lot going on. And then if you living under the water and you got locks all that time, it's like, wow. See what I'm saying? Yeah. That's a whole other thing. Who's doing R.E.O. hair? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:52 So the moral of the story is Charlamagne really has Harriet Tubman with a black effect on. Yup. And the lips is like. Puck it up a little bit. Yeah. And I knew that's not her. She wasn't doing that. It was him.
Starting point is 01:49:03 It was him. So it was definitely a little sass. You know what I saying like a sass sleeve situation like oh yeah what you doing in this house yeah it's giving that so that's your moral i i yes no no we had another moral play tomorrow what what is dr umar's all this? You put a button on this. Little Mermaid, Spider-Man, bunny hopping. She probably going to accuse him of smacking her to the watch. He going to get locked up. I'm going to tell you what's going to happen.
Starting point is 01:49:34 Spider-Man across the universe, she going to accuse him of rape, and he going to go to jail, and they going to replace him with a white Spider-Man. Watch. That's what's going on. He going to get accused of sexual harassment by the snow bunny in the cartoon to replace him with a snow puppy. The new Spider-Man will be a snow puppy.
Starting point is 01:49:52 That's what they gonna do. Little Mermaid gonna have his mixed race child and he gonna go to court and take the damn mixed race mermaid child from Little Mermaid. That's what she get for swimming in the skin though. Jesus. Alright.
Starting point is 01:50:08 White Jesus or Black Jesus? Let's get right to the Just With The Mess. God, please. Just With The Mess. The ghetto. This is the rumor report. So my news is real. On The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:50:22 So allegedly, Meg Thee Stallion spotted with a new potential boo on The Breakfast Club. Allegedly. Ooh, honey, let's get on up in here. So allegedly, Meg Thee Stallion spotted with a new potential boo. Okay, so she went to a wedding. Over the weekend, she was seen sitting next to Belgian soccer player Romelu Lukaku.
Starting point is 01:50:36 What? Romelu Lukaku. I'm sure that's not how you say his last name. That literally is Lukaku. I'm sure that's not, but good, I'm going to rock with you. Good.
Starting point is 01:50:43 All right, so his teammate was getting married, Letaro's not. But, God, I'm going to rock with you. All right. So, his teammate was getting married, Lataro Martinez. And, yeah, look, I'm on my ass today. You're bilingual. You're bilingual.
Starting point is 01:50:51 Yes, you already know what's up. I heard you speak three languages this morning. Four, actually. Baltimore, Asian, Spanish, and African. Okay, yes. Period.
Starting point is 01:50:59 African. Okay. There hasn't been any confirmation whether Meg was his date or not. But y'all know how people speculate. They see you next to somebody that ain't your boyfriend.
Starting point is 01:51:09 And apparently, Pardee was not there. They were sitting a little cozy, I guess. I mean, I'm not sure. Now, if you Google Romelu, there are different stories swarming around about him and his dating life. Whether he has a longtime girlfriend or a wife or not. But I don't really know him so i don't know if that's true or not but we'll keep our eyes off any updates on this one or could it just be she got invited to the wedding he got invited to the wedding and then when they made seats they put
Starting point is 01:51:33 them just at the same table and they hadn't they wasn't holding hands they weren't no they didn't walk in with each other no we didn't see the walk-in we didn't see the hands being held under the table or nothing like that so i'm not that's why i said i i don't know but you know how megan is very flirty she's so cute and she always smiling always showing little teeth you know she always like she always doing that so if somebody caught that you know like because she was just doing that standing next to jay-z when he was trying to talk talk so i don't know what he was trying to say they was at renaissance and he was like trying to talk and she was just like like she always do that you know i mean so you know i don't know if that's just like i guess her friendly way of like yeah like sitting next to somebody
Starting point is 01:52:10 it's got to be annoying to be a woman knowing every time you're standing next to somebody it's a room or sitting next to somebody same table and poor megan she just gotta always smile no matter what because if she looks thanked then somebody gonna say she ain't wanna be sitting next to nobody but i don't know but maybe it was after that poem that party did maybe that turned off it was a long poem it was long and drawn out remember it was remember it was well it's not funny all right it's not funny it's actually my guy party man salute the party it's crazy all right raven simone says everyone she's dated had to have an NDA signed. When I started dating. All right, damn.
Starting point is 01:52:46 Damn, man. That got damned. Ray was like, please stop reading. Please. That is so messed up, yo. Yo, all right, go ahead, Ray. Play the audio, yo. To get people to sign NDAs.
Starting point is 01:53:02 And it took me a while to wrap my head around it because it's just very impersonal but someone in our position needs to do that at what point in the date or the relationship do you say uh i have some paperwork for you before the naughty times come but no serious like right before naughty time comes so you have you have uh paperwork on your nightstand yes wow not always on the nightstand it might happen the day like the day before or whatever hey wow you make your men sign ndas i'm not gonna lie i started i started to do that yes i did um actually the guy that i'm dating now yes absolutely he has an nda it doesn't matter how do you yeah you need an nda damn jesus how do you have that conversation and how early do you start okay so what do you mean how do you how do you have conversations you think you don't speak English how does that no he's saying how do we have
Starting point is 01:53:45 that conversation what's wrong with him oh I didn't hear him I didn't hear him I didn't hear him I didn't hear him anyway yeah so it comes
Starting point is 01:53:55 into play when I feel like we're exclusive or I feel like I'm going to be exclusive with you like I said and told him
Starting point is 01:54:02 over dinner I was like listen you know being that i'm just hilarious not i do a lot of things that i don't want to be out there or whatever you have to sign this paperwork you want to be serious with me and he was like what for a minute it was like he was caught off guard but then he signed that damn paperwork and that's just what it is you know it you know you have to protect yourself a lawyer present yeah absolutely damn yeah yes yes yes he signed it without a lawyer and? Yeah, absolutely. Damn. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 01:54:25 Yes. Yes, he signed it without a lawyer. I mean, he read it. He understands. I don't know if that's significant. What it's about. Please. I'm serious. Please.
Starting point is 01:54:33 Well, I absolutely agree with Raven. You just never know. And then we never know what the hell going on with Raven. So, you know, I like that. I agree with the NDA thing, though, because, man, everybody's looking for attention nowadays. Everybody wants clout. You just don't know. You're right.
Starting point is 01:54:48 I make everybody sound, even friends, people I'm just getting to know, stuff like that. Like, whatever, like homegirls, other people in the industry have gotten NDAs from me. Homegirl, you want me to be a homegirl? All right, cool, you want to hang around me? This is what you're going to do, because I don't do things that I want everybody to know.
Starting point is 01:55:01 So, boom. Nikki opens up about being on the pound town remix oh i can't wait to hear this because i mean we know she always snap but it's interesting to me because this is what she said about sexy red the girl who sings the song i met with sexy red and i found her to be so down to earth and sweet we don't have audio for this so i'm reading it i couldn't hear myself on the song at first but once i let go and decided to just have fun uh i ended up loving it and it it came out very nice or whatever. Can we hear some of the song?
Starting point is 01:55:27 Because she actually absolutely killed it. The Vagina Brown, Pum Pum Pink song? Yeah, that is it. I mean, Mookie Brown? Yeah. What did he say? Pum Pum Pink. My booty pink.
Starting point is 01:55:36 I mean, my booty whole brown. There you go. Yeah, that. Mookie Brown, Vagina Pink. Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna lie. At first, like Nikki said, she couldn't see herself on it. I couldn't see Nikki on that either. I couldn't see anybody. I ain't gonna lie. At first, like Nicki said, she couldn't see herself on it. I couldn't see Nicki on that either.
Starting point is 01:55:45 I couldn't see anybody on it but Sexy Red. But I'm glad that Nicki actually did it. And then Sexy Red said thank you to Nicki and that people who call her mean are just, you know, like, because she's actually really cool. So she was upset. I don't know why people call her mean and all that. All right. You got to tread lightly, girl. All right.
Starting point is 01:56:02 That's nice. I like that. That's just what the mess. Now, do you have to sign an NDA if you put everything that you do in a rap? No. I don't think so. How would you? Like, if everything's sexual, if you talk about all the sexual stuff you do in a rap,
Starting point is 01:56:13 you know, would you still make a person sign an NDA about what y'all doing in the bedroom? I mean, no, that's funny that you actually said that because in Nicki's verse in the song, she actually talks about hitting the split on the D and during missionary and all of that. And her husband, Kenny, actually confirmed that that is true, that she actually be doing that. Yeah. So maybe the NDA work on the music. Maybe it don't because it could be fabricated. You know, people rap about things that they don't do.
Starting point is 01:56:37 People sing about things that they do do and all of that. So you just never know how to speculate if any of it is true. That's true. All right. Well, that is just with the mess. Up next, we got the People's Choice Mix.
