Let's get in some front page Start talking like you've been here the whole time He just walked in how are you I said good morning, okay when you when you were late do you say good morning? Yes, I said good morning Yeah, good morning. What's up? Good morning. Good morning. How are we feeling on a Wednesday? Yeah, I like it. All right. So first off front page,
Starting point is 00:06:13 it seems like we have an update in that viral video case that's out of Jacksonville, Florida. Now the sheriff in Jacksonville is warning people not to jump to conclusions about an arrest that has gone viral. A cell phone video posted on social media shows a traffic stop involving William McNeil Jr. five months ago. The video went viral over the weekend after viewers saw Jacksonville Sheriff's office officer punch McNeil.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Now Jacksonville Sheriff TK Waters released the body cam video because he doesn't want the viral video to create a narrative that leads to skewed conclusions. Let's take a listen to the body cam version of the video that or parts of that that was not shown in McNeil's recording. Is there a reason why you pop the door open like that? I don't have a window that works. Is there a reason that you're pulling me over? Absolutely there's a reason why I'm pulling you over. For one thing, inclement weather you don't have your lights on. Two things, you're not wearing your seatbelt.
Starting point is 00:07:07 It's daylight, I don't need the lights. And it's not raining. It's not raining. It's not raining. Okay, I'm not arguing with you, I'm telling you why I'm pulling you over. Give me your driver's license, registration, proof of insurance. No, no, how are you supervising? Why?
Starting point is 00:07:18 Excuse me? How are you supervising? Why did you pull me over? 27, 735, I'm a fucking tall driver. I've already told you. Why did you pull me over? Step out of I'm a driver. I already told you. Why did you pull me over? Step out of the vehicle.
Starting point is 00:07:28 No, why did you pull me over? I mean, he said don't jump to conclusions, but the only conclusion was that the police was wilding. Like, you know, no lights on and no seatbelt was no reason to do all that. Now, you know, the guy kept asking why did you pull me over? The officer told you. I feel like the guy could have cooperated a little bit more, but that still don't mean that, you know, the guy kept asking, why did you pull me over? The officer told you. I feel like the guy could have cooperated a little bit more, but that still don't mean that you know, the police should have escalated
Starting point is 00:07:48 the situation to that level. And that's why I already heard that. I think we, I thought that was, I would already, like we heard that and I still feel the same way. He shouldn't have put his hands on him. Well, the thing was is, you know, when the cop gave him an order, right? Give him his license.
Starting point is 00:08:03 He didn't want to give his license. He said, call your supervisor, right? Which they did. Now the cop still him an order, right? Give him his license, he didn't want to give his license. He said call your supervisor, right? Which they did. Now the cop still has to make sure that the man is safe and unarmed. So they asked him to get out the car. The problem I see with the videos is when they punched him through the window.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Yes, yes. Because he wasn't fighting back. There's no reason to escalate that. He wasn't fighting back. If you say that's the problem, he's seen with the video. That's the problem we all see with the video. They were saying it was all a bunch of different things of why they pulled him out. They pulled him out to detain him until the supervisor came, but that was the only problem. They
Starting point is 00:08:29 shouldn't have punched him in the face. And they broke his window. They broke through his window. Well, he went and opened the door. He said his window was broken. He went and opened the door. I still don't feel like that's no reason for cops to do that. That's essentially what officers and the sheriff's office is saying is that he wasn't compliant with sheriff's orders. Now, Sheriff TK Waters also spoke about the incident during a recent press conference saying that one video clip void of context can be very misleading.
Starting point is 00:08:50 He says McNeil never brought this to the attention of JSO officers. So he only assumes that McNeil intended to outrage the public. Let's take a listen to his comments during a recent press conference. The administrative process is still ongoing and as such, I will neither defend nor commend Officer Bowers response to resistance until all the facts are known and the investigation is completed. However, as the leader of this agency, I will not remain silent on important facts and information are buried to advance an anti-police agenda.
Starting point is 00:09:20 The truth is, William McNeil Jr. was non-compliant with JSO officers within 21 seconds after he was stopped for multiple civil infractions. His non-compliance quickly rose to the level of criminal resistance to a police officer. McNeil was arrested and pled guilty to resisting a police officer without violence. Force absolutely looks ugly. And because all force is ugly, whether or not the officer involved acted within outside JSO policy that's still what we're investigating. What are the facts like what context could you add to that video to where we feel that's all right non-compliance leads to shattered windows and a punch in the face? But the punch in the face is the main problem because he wasn't being violent he wasn't he wasn't swinging back
Starting point is 00:10:00 he wasn't doing anything he wasn't resisting his hands were up there was no reason to punch him in the face. I't think it was a lot of shadows window either But it would get out the car and it would open the door so they so what they got they got us soon the worst But they shouldn't have punched him in the face bring the backup Shattered the window to punch the face. Yeah, he should have been punched in the face Waters adds that the two officers involved aren't facing criminal charges, but the incident of course is being investigated internally McNeil is being represented by civil rights attorneys Ben Crump and Harry Daniels. Now the incident left him with a chipped tooth, nine stitches in
Starting point is 00:10:32 his lip and a concussion and a knife was found in his car. So court records also indicate he pleaded guilty to resisting police without violence and driving on a suspended license. Well see that was the thing that's why he was non-compliant because he knew his license was suspended. Correct, right. You know what I'm saying? But that still does not mean he should have got his window shattered
Starting point is 00:10:51 and got punched in the face, but you know he was being difficult because he knew he was riding dirty. You know, I got a suspended license. Because the officer did tell him why you got pulled over. You got pulled over because you didn't have a seatbelt and your light was out. In foggy conditions or something like that. But that's the whole point, if an officer pulls you over and you didn't have a seatbelt and your light was out. In foggy conditions or something like that.
Starting point is 00:11:05 But that's the whole point. If an officer pulls you over and you ask for your license and you don't want to give your license, what do they assume? That the reason you don't want to give your license is because you have a warrant or there's something wrong. Right? He said he didn't have a seatbelt on, he didn't have daytime running lights on, they asked for your license and registration, he didn't want to provide it, right?
Starting point is 00:11:22 So they tried to pull him out, but punching him in the face was totally wrong. Yeah, he asked to see the law as well. Didn't he? Didn't he request that? All right, let me see that law. Pull that law up. Right, pull the law. The funny thing is he said call my supervisor.
Starting point is 00:11:31 My supervisor, your license still gonna be suspended whether my supervisor coming out. Dang. All right, y'all, that's your front page news for 6 a.m. at 7 a.m. We are talking more presidential stuff and the Epstein files or lack thereof. Stick around.

Get it off your chest. Good morning. Good morning everybody Good morning I just want to say I want to give off my chest. I've been blind now for seven years
Starting point is 00:15:09 And I never knew that there was such proper Improper etiquette when it comes to blind people Um, like I'm at a doctor's appointment and my escort standing beside me and the intake person's like Does she know her social security number? Absolutely. I'm standing right here, just because I'm blind, I'm not deaf. Wow, yeah. Damn.
Starting point is 00:15:29 Yeah, so I'm at a restaurant and they're like, well, what is she having to drink? I'm like, hey, I'm right here, you can ask me when I'm having to drink. Right. You know, I just found it out there that just because I'm blind doesn't mean I'm incapable, it doesn't mean I'm deaf, it doesn't mean I'm slow.
Starting point is 00:15:44 You know, just have a little more experience with blind people. So ironically, you went blind, but then people stopped seeing you. Absolutely. And as if the traumatization of it wasn't, you know, impacting enough, it kind of re-impacts me when they do such rude things as talk over me or talk like I can't talk to myself.
Starting point is 00:16:04 You should tell them, you should be like, excuse me, I'm the like I can't talk to myself. You should tell them. You should be like, excuse me, I'm the one who can't see, okay? You standing right here. You can see me. Absolutely. Like, I was at a restaurant one time and the guy asked my friend, like, excuse me, is she blind? And I was like, yes, I am. Why? He was like, oh, well, you're so beautiful.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I just want to pay for your food. I was like, okay, thank you. I mean, that one wasn't that bad. That one wasn't bad. You took that one. Exactly. That wasn't that bad. Oh, were you so beautiful? I just want to pay for your food. I was like, okay, thank you But he could have asked me instead of asking her I just want to kind of put it out there like Because the person is blind doesn't mean they're helpless or incapable of answering the simplest question What do you get the guy's number? He just bought you food. Like what happened? He just bought me food he turned out to be a pastor. He was really nice. He wanted to bless me. He wanted me to have a good day. Oh so y'all didn't make plans to see each other again? Oh what's wrong with you man? Absolutely not. Okay. So you're trying to give me to the pastor? Yes sir. Yes absolutely. Hey. What are you calling from, mama? I'm calling from North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Okay. Nice, nice. Well, blessings to you, sister. Absolutely. John, I'm from Maine, it's South Carolina. You already know. I love you. I love you more.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Yes, I love you. I remember when you first came out on Instagram and Facebook. Thank you, babe. You remember that? You were going to say how you see that? You were about to say that. Yes, you were. Oh, but you know what?
Starting point is 00:17:24 She said seven years. And I've been doing this for 11 years. Four years of my career. You remember that? You wanna say how you see that? Gay, you were about to say that. Yes you were. Oh, but you know what? She said seven years. And I've been doing this for 11 years. Four years of my career. Thank you so much. I love you, sister. I love you too. And I love y'all.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I hope y'all have a great day. You too, man. Me too. Yeah, yeah. You a police officer from Jersey? Yes, sir. Go on in. I just wanted to give a comment about the situation with the traffic stop.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Let's do it. Now, just to clarify, when the officer explained to him the reason for the stop is no headlights on in Clement weather. You know, I heard Charlemagne a few minutes ago say that's not a reason to stop somebody. It actually is. That's not what I said. I did not say that. I said there's no reason for that to escalate the violence non compliance compliance
Starting point is 00:18:05 Okay, I didn't say that's not a reason to stop I actually said that when the officer asked him when he asked officer why he stopped him the officer told him why he stopped him I ain't say that yeah Okay, okay, so you're saying it's not a reason to escalate so when the doors the dudes slim the door closed He escalated the situation if your window doesn't work So keep in mind kicking your door open on a traffic stop that automatically raises the alertness on the officer because that's not normal Oh, I didn't know he slammed the door. I didn't know he slammed. I never knew he even opened The door was open first
Starting point is 00:18:40 You gotta watch the video because a lot of times people see that cell phone video and they automatically assume the cops are wrong No, there's other video of that traffic stop. Let me ask you a question But that's the only thing the officer can punch him in the face. That's what I said. I said breaking the window I understand but I asked about the punch in the face Now, what do you think that's what I thought was too far because he wasn't being violent now breaking the window to get him out To unlock the door. He wasn't being violent but that punch in that to get him out to unlock the door, he wasn't being violent, but that initial punch in the face, that was a little too far. Oh, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Okay. So this is my thing, right? I've been a law enforcement officer for just shy of 17 years. I'm an African-American man. I'm an African-American father before anything, but I can give you the perspective of an African-American man in this country,
Starting point is 00:19:22 as well as an African-American officer in this country. And what I agree that punch in the face was absolutely unwarranted. That was that was personal frustration. That was unnecessary. I wholeheartedly agree. Okay. But we agree. Let's keep it real. Absolutely. Because if that was my son or if that was me, I'd be absolutely pissed off because that was personal frustration. That's not something that's protocol. They don't teach you that in the academy to punch you in the face with someone who's non-combative. Now I will say though, Charlamagne,
Starting point is 00:19:55 again, in New Jersey, the reason for the traffic stop in Florida, just like here in New Jersey, when there's inclement weather, if your wipers are on, your headlights have to be on. That is a law. Why are you telling me this? I don't have a problem with that.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I literally said when the officer, when he kept asking the officer, why are you stopping me, the officer told him. Said your lights was out and your seatbelt wasn't on. And he didn't want to give over his license. He slammed the door. I don't have a problem with that. And at that point, I'm sure officers have to assume the words. He wouldn't give his license.
Starting point is 00:20:28 He slammed the door. They broke the window to detain him. They shouldn't have punched him in the face. Listen, there are people who have driven on suspended license. Normally, like I said, you get a ticket for that. People are driven without insurance, and they get a ticket for that.
Starting point is 00:20:42 I thought you were in jail for a suspended license. You do, in New York. No, no, it depends on the, and you're a fractal, if you're a repeat offender, absolutely. But I will say for sure, people need to understand, and I tell my friends, the street is the officer's courtroom. Take it easy, talk to them.
Starting point is 00:20:58 You don't have to slam the door, call your supervisor, because just like you said, Charlamagne, him calling the supervisor, your license still suspended, Jack. How you heard that, but you heard me, but you said I said something else. I didn't say, I agree with you. I don't, listen, I don't think that that brother
Starting point is 00:21:14 handled that situation correctly in no way, shape or form. I don't even see a reason, well, at first I did not see a reason why he wasn't being compliant. Why they broke the glass. No, no, why he wasn't being compliant, but now I see, oh, he had a suspended license. That's why he wasn't being compliant. Why they broke the glass. No, no, why he wasn't being compliant, but now I see, oh, he had a suspended license. That's why he wasn't being compliant.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Now you said that you had a problem with breaking the glass too, but I said, you also said he had a problem breaking the glass. I understood why they broke the glass. Yeah, exactly. And I appreciate that, Emme, because like Charlamagne, you have to understand that the escalation of the situation was due to the driver.
Starting point is 00:21:43 The author didn't walk up on some heat man stuff He explained the reason for the stop. We don't have to tell you two or three times Why are you talking? How many times I gotta say that it's the first time I understand I don't disagree with you. Thank you, sir Wow, I think you would have you want to argue with me early in the morning before they have breakfast I don't disagree with him they have breakfast. I don't disagree with him. I don't disagree with nothing he's saying. The funny thing is, Charlamagne said, I don't disagree with you. And he kept going. You ever argue with your wife and you be like, I'm sorry, just keep going. I'm like, I'm sorry, damn it,
Starting point is 00:22:15 damn it. Because I never said it, I didn't say he got stopped for no reason. No. I understand why he got stopped. But I also feel like he should have been been more compliant But I also don't feel like the officer should have Yes, that's what we said all right get it off your chest 800-585-1051 now we got the latest Lauren coming up Hello Lauren. Hey, good morning. Yes, hey we do There are new details in the tragic passing of Malcolm Jamal Warner and efforts that took place to save his life So we're gonna talk about it a bit this morning.

Starting point is 00:22:47 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. So there are new details in the tragic passing of Malcolm Jamal Warner. Yesterday, NVU asked me about the second person who was left in critical condition from this incident as well from Malcolm's drowning incident. So People Magazine is exclusively reporting that the second person who was taken by ambulance to the hospital and was in critical condition was actually a person not related to Malcolm Jamal Warner, but it was a person that was there, saw what was happening and jumped in to try and save Malcolm Jamal Warner.
Starting point is 00:23:52 Now this person as far as their actual identity has not been shared with people, but they did confirm that there was no personal connection between this person and Warner. They say that basically when Malcolm Vaughan Warner, I guess, was swimming in the currents and were taking him down and all the things were happening, this person and other bystanders on the beach happened to see it, but they were a bit too late to try and save him, even though once they pulled him
Starting point is 00:24:15 out of the water, they did attempt to do CPR for 20 minutes, but he was declared dead at the scene. Damn, man. Yeah, and there was another report too. I saw TMZ. Salute to that brother, that person, that hero. He's a hero. Yes. Even though he attempted, just the fact
Starting point is 00:24:31 that you see somebody else in danger and you attempt to help them. Put your life in danger, though. Make sure you're a hero. Absolutely. Absolutely. Yes, 100%. There was another report by TMZ just about,
Starting point is 00:24:42 because people were wondering why weren't there any like guards or patrol or anything on the beach as well and why bystanders, people who weren't like official lifeguards had to get involved. So there was a report by TMZ that there were no lifeguards on duty. Actually, there's a group called the Caribbean Guard and this is a group of lifeguards and people who patrol beaches. They released a statement yesterday. They say we deeply regret the passing of Malcolm Jamal Warner and player Grande.
Starting point is 00:25:09 He was swept away by a strong rip current and died from drowning. They mentioned that they do typically patrol the area because of how crazy the currents and the water gets in that area. But that Sunday specifically they did not patrol the area. But they have been, they have put out people and did not patrol the area but they have been they have put out people and different officials in the area and other surrounding areas and they up their warnings following this but they did send a rest in peace and you know I guess just wanted to say some kind of
Starting point is 00:25:37 words but wanted to explain. Is it true that he got up for our early morning swim? So yes there are reports that he got up for early morning swim and that this happened right after sunrise. Listen, if you, you know, you go on vacation, you know, to these Caribbean islands, like that's, that's what I like to do. Get up early in the morning and go jump in the water early, solo. I do, I do it all the time.
Starting point is 00:25:57 That's what I would do. I get up before the kids get up or before the wife gets up and I would go swim. I'm a swimmer, so I would go swimming. You know, I'm not a swimmer though. I'm a walker go swim out I'm a swimmer so I would go swimming you know it I'm not a swimmer though I'm a walker in water I'm a swimming that when I go in the water my feet can't touch the ground okay I'm not going no farther than that yes my little feet can't touch the ground you like pools no actually like those I just like shallow waters don't go past a certain point yeah and another thing too that the Caribbean Guard said is
Starting point is 00:26:24 that this was one of the most challenging It's known as one of the most challenging beaches because it's the beach known for local surfers So they did have signs in English in Spanish warning of danger of drowning other things But there were no guards there at the time and they tell you that if you ever get caught in a riptide The worst thing to do is try to swim away from it because it pulls you in and you use your energy in a riptide, the worst thing to do is try to swim away from it, because it pulls you in and you use your energy. Instead of either let it pull you in, hold your breath, let it pull you in, or swim parallel to the actual way you're going.
Starting point is 00:26:52 Because it don't take you under, right? It just takes you out. It can take you under. It can take you under. It can take you under. Yeah, it depends. Yeah. Definitely take you under.
Starting point is 00:27:00 And then the water is so like, we can't beat water. No, no, no no no yes and it was uh his his wife actually alerted authorities Charlemagne after Michael Jermon Warner went out for that swim after sunrise he hadn't returned for over an hour so she then alerted authorities um my uncle Chris is definitely somebody worth talking about he was the kind of guy that lived in a trailer with an ex-con and a retired stripper, left loaded machine guns laying around, drank a bottle of whiskey a night, claimed he could kill a man with his bare hands, drove a garbage truck for a living, spoke fluent Spanish with

Starting point is 00:31:26 So yeah, Raven-Symone actually, because I know a lot of people were wondering how Raven-Symone is doing and you know, Ms. Felicia Rashad, Raven-Symone posted yesterday to her Instagram remembering Malcolm. Let's take a listen. Words cannot describe the pain and sadness and surprise that I feel with the recent loss of MJW he was The big brother he was a beacon. He was one of the most
Starting point is 00:31:58 multifaceted talented men so gentle and My heart and soul and hugs and kisses go out to his daughter and his wife and his mother he gave the best advice he gave the best hugs and his smile will always be a huge bright white smile my head forever I love you and I know you're watching over all of us now that brother Malcolm Jamal Warner was it was you know intentionally trying to be the best version of himself at all times he was intentional with his heart and how he showed up in the world like that's that that is what I always saw from Malcolm Jamal Warner yeah Yeah, it was very sad.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Very, very sad. Extremely. Man. All right, well that is the latest with Lauren. Now when we come back, we got front page news and don't forget next hour, Will.i.am and Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club, good morning.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne N'Guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. What's up Morgan? Hey, you always like to get into sports first. Did you hear about Venus Williams? You want she's back on the tennis court? Well, she is now the second oldest woman to win a tour level singles match in a professional tennis.
Starting point is 00:33:17 The 45 year old tennis legend defeated Peyton Stearns in straight sets in the DC Open yesterday. Her first singles win in almost two years. And the only older woman to have done that is Martina Navratilova at age 47. Now Williams takes on the fifth seeded Magdalena Frank in the second round on Thursday. So y'all should check that out. I haven't heard about that in no way.
Starting point is 00:33:39 I ain't know Venus was back on the court. I seen it this morning, but I didn't know what it was. I seen them interviewing her, but I thought it was something old, but I thought she retired. But congratulations to her. Yeah, pretty much. But she decided to come back to the DC Open,
Starting point is 00:33:50 and she's doing pretty well. So that's to you. All right, so in presidential news, Trump says the US has reached a trade agreement with Japan. At a White House event last night, Trump touted the deal, which includes a 15% tariff on Japan's exports to the US. He added the country will also invest $550 billion into the US and what he called perhaps the
Starting point is 00:34:11 largest deal ever made. Let's take a listen to President Trump's comments regarding the deal. We worked on it long and hard and it's a great deal for everybody. I always say it has to be great for everybody. It's a great deal, but we're doing really well as a country. We're strong. We have a lot of money flowing in. The tariffs are kicked in better than anybody other than me and a few of the people in the room thought could happen.
Starting point is 00:34:35 So the 15% tariff rate is well below the 25% rate that the Trump administration had initially threatened in a letter to Japan earlier this month. So that's good news on trade and international affairs. Meanwhile, President Trump claims the intelligence community caught Obama cold. While speaking in the Oval Office with reporters, Trump touched on the criminal referral connected to the Obama era officials and their reports of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. He claimed former President Obama and his administration tried to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. Let's take a listen to those comments from President Trump. This was every word you can think of.
Starting point is 00:35:17 They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody's ever even imagined, even in other countries. Now we found absolute, this isn't like evidence or that, this is like proof, irrefutable proof that Obama was sedacious, that Obama led, was trying to lead a coup. And it was with Hillary Clinton, with all these other people. Don't let them turn the channel. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:47 What about the F-10 files, Mr. President? National Director of Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard alleged the Obama's White House led an effort to manufacture intelligence that Russia interfered and has since made a criminal referral to the Department of Justice. Trump said he believes the allegations against Obama, adding Gabbard has thousands of documents. And to your point, Charlamagne, speaking of documents. But you know, I also don't understand why he keeps bringing that up about President Obama.
Starting point is 00:36:17 But because of the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court, didn't they grant presidents broad immunity for a lot of official acts that places presidents above the law? President Barack Obama was a president. So even if you are trying to say that he did something, you know, nefarious, then you can do about it because of what your supreme court has done. All right, clock it. But speaking of those documents, Bernice King, the youngest daughter of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jrr. Is urging officials to unveil files connected to Jeffrey Epstein King issued a call soon after director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard published over 230,000 pages of information related to King's death in
Starting point is 00:36:55 1968 now King's youngest daughter shared a photo of her father on X with a caption saying now do the Epstein files the King family has condemned any attempts to misuse these documents in a way intended to undermine the legacy of with a caption saying, now do the Epstein files. The King family has condemned any attempts to misuse these documents in a way intended to undermine the legacy of the civil rights icon. Now this comes as the house is going on its August recess early. Lawmakers were set to hold votes on Thursday,
Starting point is 00:37:18 but that will no longer happen because motions from Democrats related to the Jeffrey Epstein files could have forced Republicans to vote on the matter and whether or not to release them, right? So House Speaker Mike Johnson said there's no purpose for Congress to push the administration to do something they're already doing. And federal judges are seeking more information before determining if courts will unseal grand jury transcripts in the case related to Jeffrey Epstein. It comes as after the Justice Department
Starting point is 00:37:46 and FBI has faced increased scrutiny to release those files, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch requested the transcripts be unsealed with redactions of victim related and other personal identifying information. Now judges, excuse me, are asking the DOJ to lay out its arguments in writing more thoroughly by July 29th while submissions from Ghislaine Maxwell's or Epstein's representatives as well as their victims are due by August 5th.
Starting point is 00:38:15 So it looks like Congress is going to get a little bit of a break around August on recess and maybe back in August or as August continues, we will see something or some more movement with the Epstein files But as of right now things are tabled and paused but that's your front page news I'm Morgan would y'all can follow me on socials at Morgan media for more news coverage follow at black information network Download the free I heart radio app and visit us at BIN news.com. Thank y'all. Thank you Alright now when we come back, Will.i.am and Taboo will be joining us, of course, from the Black Eyed Peas. And we're going to talk to them about their new single, East LA and everything that they got going on. All right.
Starting point is 00:38:53 So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. Oh guys. Will.I.A. and Metabal, welcome fellas. What's up, what's up, what's up. How you feeling? Oh, it's good to be here, good to see you.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Man, y'all got the new record out of East LA. Yeah. Talk to us about that, man. I'm sorry, I love it. It's hard. Thank you. It's a bop. Thank you so much, appreciate the love.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Obviously we sampled Carlos Santana. So thank you for clearing that. It's been sampled a bunch, but there's a part in the song where he says, Maria Maria fell in love with East LA. So I just wanted to highlight that part of the song and shout out the community that's being hit pretty hard by the ice raids and
Starting point is 00:39:50 What's beautiful about that is I also got it. I also got a text from Wyclef saying he's a producer of the song Mm-hmm like yo, let me get a clip of the video so I can post that so that I meant a lot but just what's going on in our communities is pretty harsh and I'm all for You know making sure our borders are safe But it's just inhumane to go after anybody that looks Latin that You know, there's people that have been detained that are residents and citizens.
Starting point is 00:40:25 There was a person who served in our military that has been detained. I just think that's a pretty, you know, bad execution that took a good idea and turned it to a bad idea. Because they could have been going out to making sure our communities are safer by apprehending criminals. Because they could have been going out to making sure our communities are safer by apprehending criminals, but to go after hardworking folks, people that are working two to three jobs to keep food on their table, their kids going off to four-year colleges. I know this firsthand because of my program, my foundation, the work that we do, getting kids to go off to four-year colleges.
Starting point is 00:41:05 You know, we've witnessed, you know, the fear that's been instilled into our in our neighborhood. So we just wanted to lift up the vibration and celebrate the community. And also as Angelino's born and raised in East Los Angeles, his mom went to Roosevelt High School, my mom went to Garfield. So there was always this beautiful rivalry. but at the end of the day, it was about uniting and bringing East LA together and standing in solidarity with those folks that, you know, that are crying out for help justice. So what does East LA mean to both of you personally?
Starting point is 00:41:36 Like is this record like more of a tribute? Is it a time capsule or is it something else? Well, for me, it's a thank you. It's a, I see you. Um, we, I love you. I have a lot of just beautiful memories there. I was born and raised there. Spent 25 years of my life there in the projects dreaming. I was able to move my family, you know, we migrated out of the projects, but I still loved my neighborhood. My program, I got a robotics program right in the middle of the projects that I'm from. My after school program is right down the street from that.
Starting point is 00:42:17 My aunt still works at the homeless shelter there. My uncle still works at the park, keeping the kids off the streets. So although we moved out of the projects, we're still in the heart of the community. So East LA is like an ongoing dialogue of commitment, dedication, you know, change the vibration of the neighborhood. For me as a native Mexican kid from LA, you know, it means a lot to be able to not only give back to the community in a sense of championing the idea of solidarity and oneness, but also to be able to rap in Spanish or Spanglish. Like that was dope for us, you know, using slang specifically from East LA or Ball Heights,
Starting point is 00:42:59 really loving the vibration and the frequency that is the color and the texture of East Los Angeles. And that's why the video is so colorful. Yeah. You know, it's crazy, you know, you said something earlier that a lot of people don't necessarily say, you were saying that you're not mad if they're taking criminals off the street, taking people that are doing bad things off the street. But there has to be a process and procedure to do it and to figure out the good from the bad.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Is that what you're saying? Yeah, like you remember during COVID, they did a really good job making sure everybody got swabbed, making sure everybody got vaccinated and specifically in Los Angeles. They kind of forced it on most people but. Well, that's a different subject. But there was like a, where you volunteered and drove to the nearest stadium or the arena to get swabbed and vaccinated. A portion of the folks that did that were undocumented.
Starting point is 00:43:52 So they know where the undocumented people actually live. They got all the information. But the way that they went about doing it is inhumane. There is a you know a path that they could have taken to boost our economy by turning undocumented folks to documented folks because these folks that have these jobs income taxes are taken from their paycheck and people in Beverly Hills and Brentwood, they know their services are needed. Altadena and Malibu Palisades burned down. In reconfiguring these neighborhoods, they know the value of these people's services. And so I just think the
Starting point is 00:44:41 way they went about it is horribly wrong. It could have been a better tactic that, you know, gave people dignity, gave them the opportunity to become citizens, just the way other countries do. Just a blanket, just go into a neighborhood, mask people, right? In unmarked vehicles. You're inciting kidnapping because there's no way to be able like who was that person? You couldn't even describe him. You know, what car was that? You wouldn't even know if that was a government vehicle. I just think the tactic was just poor. You know, and it doesn't reflect America's best. It doesn't reflect that sounds like a third-world country
Starting point is 00:45:27 That doesn't sound like America Why was what side story to write song the sample for this record? Oh, cuz it's a East LA That's the part I just love that part and He said it with so much emotion and I just wanted to just highlight that part. Yeah, and it was beautiful to have like the musical transitions from the 3-0, which we're used to in East Los Angeles. When you're on a date or you're doing something
Starting point is 00:45:56 with family, you see 3-0s in restaurants and then to go- What is that taboo? I don't know what that is. 3-0 is like a- Like a three- For the guitar? Yes. Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. So that frequency that you first hear, that's a trio. And these three dudes playing usually
Starting point is 00:46:10 at restaurants or at different events. And then to be able to have it go into a transition of a cumbia with the undertone of a hip hop bop, as you said, that's really dope. What's the cumbia? What did you say? Cumbia. He did not say Kumbaya. Kumbaya is a style of music that originated out of Columbia and then a lot of Central American countries have adopted it. The Mejicano, Kumbaya is really awesome.
Starting point is 00:46:34 It's popular but originated in Columbia. It's like a, it's like this rhythm. It's like, you know, reggaeton is, trap has its this rhythm. You know, the reggaeton is... Trap has its signature rhythm. You know, there's all these... House obviously has their four on the floor. But Acumbia's... on the percussive, that's a signature rhythm throughout every cumbia.
Starting point is 00:47:01 And so we wanted to go from a trio to a cumbia because that's what growing up in East LA felt like. I grew up in a predominantly Mexican neighborhood which was you know beautiful. I heard you was the only black family there. There was like okay there was the Hamers. We don't know these people Will. people will get you some. He's counting on us, he's not going to be. There's a Hamer family, the Rose family, the Walkers, my family, which is pretty, pretty large. The Iams? No, Canes.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Okay. The Canes, the Iams. And Clifford, there's about five black families in our neighborhood. But to all the Mexicans, it was just one black family. And it was beautiful. It was beautiful growing up there. We're still kicking it with Will.i.am and Taboo from Black Eyed Peas. We talk about black and the Latin culture a lot, especially in New York, right?
Starting point is 00:47:59 It's different. It's more Puerto Rican and Dominicans, right? And- Envy is Dominican by the way. I'm not Dominican, I'm black. He says I'm Dominican. You look Dominican. I'm fully black. But you know, growing up, it was kind of like it was when I say us versus them and not us as in it was the blacks, Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, we stood together. We
Starting point is 00:48:19 stuck together, right? We clubbed, we partied together. It was against. So it's nothing to hear somebody Puerto Rican say, you know, that's my that's that destiny ever So a Mexican OT recently said it people had a problem with it It's different here because we didn't grow up with the Mexican community who grew up with Puerto Rican Dominican So see fat Joe saying was never a problem. JLo saying it we didn't think oh my god It was how we grew up especially in Bronx Queens, Brooklyn, whatever How was it growing up in LA? Because people were disturbed by it at one time,
Starting point is 00:48:47 but I'm like, that might be the same thing as how we grew up here. It depends, like, Nortinos, they say, they drop embalms all the time. Who? Northerners, northern people from the north. Yeah, you're like, Nortinos, I'm like, I don't know who Nortinos are.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Who's the northern side? The northern side. Northern California, like, Vallejo, I don't know who nothing. Who's the North Side? The North Side. Northern California. Northern California, yeah. Vallejo and Richmond, they inbound all the time. Sudeños. Sudeños, Southern Cali, they don't really do that. Our manager, Polo, he be dropping it, crazy.
Starting point is 00:49:20 He ain't here though. Polo's Mexican. Polo's Mexican, like, yeah. So it all depends on what, which part of California you talk about. But because there's more black and Latin communities in, in Northern California where it's tightly knit together I could see why that that that that has like a tolerance in Southern California there has been a division between blacks and Latin's highly because of prisons so the prisons have separated blacks and Latin's and so there was like this
Starting point is 00:50:02 notion that wow you survived how did you get how did you survive being one of the only black families in all Mexican neighborhood for me? It was it was it was awesome. There's a lot of black people in Southern, California probably had a tougher time But for my family it was and the other black families in our neighborhood and Aliso Pico Aliso village It was awesome. And Tabu? Well growing up in Dogtown Projects, which is close to where he grew up, and then I moved to Rosemead, California, it was predominantly Asian and Mexican. So we didn't really have to worry about that, you know, it was more like, you know, the
Starting point is 00:50:40 Mexican-Asian war, because it was heavy in the 80s, like the Wachings versus Bartlett Street or all these gangs that were in the San Gabriel Valley. But I always knew that there was this divide and this separation. So when Black Eyed Peas was formed, it was like, yo, hip hop brought us together. It was not a cultural thing. It's not like, oh, Tabs Native American and Mexican,
Starting point is 00:51:01 and Wills Black and Apples Filipinos. More like, nah, we hip hop kids. We grew up on Dayline daylight tribe so that whole essence of just like you know standing together for hip-hop b-boying MC in it was that thing so that the word was never really like a thing for us is like you had in your neighborhood you you got a lot of flag oh yeah Oh, I hung out. Yeah, so We like eight a fool the foolings on with the black. Oh, yeah, so so my son's mom Josh My oldest son his mom was black. Yeah, so I got a lot of black like hey, you're living a taboo lifestyle
Starting point is 00:51:38 You have a black girlfriend. That's what it is. Yeah Lifestyle yeah, so so I was like, yeah. Well if I'm living the Taboo lifestyle, I am Taboo. So then that whole energy came about like, yo, I don't f***, I'm down with the blacks, I'm down with the Filipinos, down with the Mexicans, the Asians, and that's that connection that I had growing up. How does, like when you talk about East LA and y'all had mentioned all the different types of music that y'all were influenced by that went into this record, how did that show up in y'all musical identity before?
Starting point is 00:52:09 Oh, oh, oh. So if you listen to songs like Aresis on our first album, if you listen to songs like Latin Girls on our third album, or people that we've collaborated with like Juanis and Joanne Sebastian Debbie Nova Debbie Nova or if you Sergio Mendes if you see records on like Translation where we went and and dove into like reggaeton or when I collaborated with Daddy Yankee like on his his first record We've always been like
Starting point is 00:52:43 fusing Latin rhythms. Like our bio was in 1998, was like, why is Black IPs different? We were like, we infuse Latin rhythms because of our, you know, upbringings. Google it. Google it. But yeah, if Google has it. And it was dope being able to drop Spanish verses back then. So I was dropping like, we did a song called Release.
Starting point is 00:53:07 And I was like, You been talking that s***, man. You don't know what he said. off of you Spanish tongue is speaking truth. That was like You gotta dig in you gotta go on your Latin bag bro on this one like that's it's really like Hone into our individuality, cultural differences, you know, like you the Latin, native dude, you know what I'm saying, I'm the black dude from an all Mexican neighborhood. Apple's like super Filipino, straight from the Philippines,
Starting point is 00:53:57 they only even been speaking English for like 20 minutes. And you know, that's whyed Peas is like super international. I'll just let Fergie just be white. Like you know, just be white. You know this before we even met Fergie. And so Black Eyed Peas, we... Stop dude, stop. That's the way she said it, that was funny. Our biggest audience outside of,
Starting point is 00:54:27 we have more success in Mexico than the States. Really? Really? Yeah, like, yeah, yeah. Like, we could play like multiple stadiums at our height. We was playing at Steka Stadium. We was playing stadiums all throughout El Salvador and, you know, Guatemala, Chile. Brazil. Brazil. Uruguay, Paraguay, Venezuela.
Starting point is 00:54:48 Yeah, like that's where we would go to those places. The reason why the only stadium we played in America was in Miami. We didn't play no stadiums in the States. Really? At the height of our career. At the height of our career, we never played a stadium in America. That's great. Just in Miami.
Starting point is 00:55:06 That's the best. In our mind, Black Eyed Peas was just big, and that's all y'all did was stadiums. Yeah, yeah. Outside of America. Wow. I don't know why. I could have sworn they did the garden. Like all of them.
Starting point is 00:55:17 No, no, we did. We did. That's not a stadium. Arenas. Arenas. Arenas. Arenas. Yes.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Arenas, like 20, 30,000. Stadiums is 80,000. 80,000 is 80 so no met life none of those no We didn't do that just in Miami, but we was able to do 83,000 in France three times three times in a row Yeah, Japan. Yeah, Korea that you were able to do it there and not necessarily here Did you want to do it here or you didn't care success? You know, it didn't matter to you. No Can't nitpick be like nah. Cause some people wanna do home like I want home like that you know.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Home is earth. Okay. And we've always had, it's true. We've always had the mentality like Apples from the Philippines. Our goal is less perform in the Philippines. We gotta go back to Apples motherland. So it meant international. The idea was we are gonna take this international
Starting point is 00:56:07 We're still kicking it with will. I am in taboo from black eyed peas. Yes No, is this a black eyed peas song or will I am in taboo song? It's will I am taboo? Okay We struggle with that like is this black eyed peas? Oh, yeah And I'm like, hey, why don't we do something that we haven't done where you know, we We know what Voltron's like. Mm-hmm, but if we could like You know Highlight different clusters of what we are collectively. That means tab and Apple song will come a me and Apple song You know
Starting point is 00:56:44 You know do it doing it like that on this next phase. But I'm in solo mode, I have records coming out, and I wanted to put out as much human-made music as possible. Because... AI taking over like that? Damn! Well, yeah, it's really dope. The AI stuff is uh...
Starting point is 00:57:10 Yeah, so I wanna... That sounds crazy to even say. I wanna make as much human-made music as possible. Yeah. Damn! I didn't feel people got on Timbaland when he signed his first AI artist and people were mad and said you're taking the jobs from regular artists, taking the creativity away, taking, you know, the fact, what are your thoughts on it? I think it's the way the environment, the proximity of what Timberland was around as he was doing the AI music. So a couple years before that he was, you know, wanting to sign people by having them submit music. And then the thing that he signed as an AI and
Starting point is 00:57:53 not a human, I could see why that ruffled feathers. I thought you just did this campaign. And then the situation with the dude and the beat, there's a lot of noise around it. For example, we did some version of that where we're like, the new member of the Black Eyed Peas is an AI when we were about to do Vegas. But like I said, I think it's the proximity because he was adjacent to, you know, a call out, you know, magnetizing the community to send music. And then the thing he signed just an AI. But other than that, if you remove that out of the way,
Starting point is 00:58:32 there's no, there's no, there's no, it's no different of lending your voice to a cartoon. For example, I did Madagascar 2, that hippo. I did Bird on Rio 1 and 2. Who the hell is Pedro? So it's using your imagination and building character. Mickey Mouse is the OG AI character. Outlived freaking Walt. so there's nothing wrong with you know avatars or you know alter egos you know there's nothing wrong with that it's just you got to be careful in the environment and the environment that
Starting point is 00:59:21 you that you do it in. What happened with? Could you mention Vegas fires? I was affected by the fires to be honest with you I'm an El Tadina Pasadena area and I was displaced for a long time. I didn't have a home Wow facts yeah, so we had a Will we will we'll revisit that now that you know? You know people are safe, people can live. Yep. Did you lose everything? Or do we have to get some things?
Starting point is 00:59:47 I had to get rid of every, internal damage was bad. So we had to get rid of everything internally. Structurally we were okay, but our surrounding area was devastated. So, you know, my heart's go out to, yeah. My kid, both of my sons preschool burned down. My uncle Chris is definitely somebody worth talking about.

Starting point is 01:04:15 So my heart goes out to Altadena, Malibu, Palisades and all the people affected. Dude, our year started off fucked up, 2025. So to be able to have come back in the summer and have healing, as you said, with this song and this whole idea of how can we be of service and help and do our part to advocate, like that's a blessing for us as well. We mid-year, but I feel like it's two years so far. It's crazy because it feels like culturally LA is having such a great moment, right? Not a moment
Starting point is 01:04:43 because y'all are LA, but like know what Kendrick did culturally but then it's like societally the fire, the ice rakes, it's like God. Yeah. Did you have you bounce back Taboo from your house? We did yeah we moved in fortunately but still we have 800 trash trucks taking the debris out we probably won't be up and running as a community as far as like good for a couple years. Some of the lots are being sold. Some of the lots are being taken over because they don't have insurance.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Some of the people, you got to understand bro, these are marginalized communities on the other side of Altadena. A lot of black families and Mexican families that didn't have the proper insurance. They've been living there for years and they were affected by the fires. And unfortunately, the city comes in and takes their home,
Starting point is 01:05:29 because they can't pay for that lot. Dang. Now, just so that you collaborated with Mercedes. Yeah. Yeah, he did that. I tried to get it for the last car show. I tried. Oh, you tried. I tried. I tried.
Starting point is 01:05:42 Damn. Yeah, so we got two pieces of technology inside Mercedes. One, tried. Oh, you tried. I tried. Damn. Yeah, so we got two pieces of technology inside Mercedes. One, the sound drive that takes all the sensor data and aims at sensor data to a sound generation platform that allows a driver to remix, reimagine songs just by driving. And then I got this AI radio that's in Mercedes vehicles. And because of that, Qualcomm, we just partnered up with Qualcomm. We, you know, just married our systems onto Chip. So they will get us in more OEM vehicles.
Starting point is 01:06:11 So I go to India in two weeks to announce our partnership with three OEM auto manufacturers out there in India. That's dope. What's awesome is one of our kids that joined my program, there's a kid that comes from the same project as me, he joined my program when he was like in the ninth grade, tenth grade. He then went to school for computer science, he then graduated and now he's like one of the in leadership implementing our systems in Mercedes. So, um, I'm just really proud of his dedication commitment and we rely on him for his talents. Um, but, you know, just go to show that people from the same projects can, um, can align and bring the best out of each other. So, you know, really salute his growth
Starting point is 01:07:09 and now leadership at the company. So, congratulations. I love that you do that. That's really dope. It's great when I sit here and I listen to you and Taboo talk, man, then I think about, you know, the other members, Filipino, with all the different coaches in the group.
Starting point is 01:07:20 How did y'all land on the name Black Eyed Peas? Because Black Eyed Peas is synonymous with black folks. Yeah, that's it. I mean, that didn't come from this. Bleep. Yeah. Woo! And on that note, thank you, ladies and gentlemen. You have it here.

Starting point is 01:08:06 I mean, sometimes it's good, but the way I had it growing up, it was all right. And so the green beans and Black Eyed Peas, when they get cold, I didn't try and have that. And so my grandma would be like, you ain't getting up off that table till you finish the Black Eyed Peas. So for me, it just meant like, don't stop till you're done. You can't get up till you finish something.

So this was his return on the stage, going to say my goodbyes, and then he passes away

Yep, and that reality show dropped in the 2000s, it had a total of four seasons, a little over 50 episodes, but 100%, that was how I met Ozzy Osbourne. I knew he was-

I was ready for you. Hey, Donkey, how you doing today? I ain't never heard of Donkey the other day. What is it? Say it again, Charlamagne.
Starting point is 01:16:27 I'm a Donkey. Yes, you are a Donkey. Everything that Charlamagne is saying is true. Yes, Donkey, today for Wednesday, July 23rd goes to 35-year-old Taneeka McKenzie. Now let me tell you something. I respect hardworking people in all industries, especially fast food service industries. Okay. It's no secret.
Starting point is 01:16:50 My wife and I own Crystal franchises in South Carolina, Sleuth, all spots in Orangeburg and Walterboro. Okay. South Carolina respectfully. So I see firsthand how hard fast food service workers work. And I also see the BS they have to deal with because they are constantly having to engage with the most unstable creatures on the planet and those unstable creatures are humans.
Starting point is 01:17:09 Can you imagine regardless of what's going on in your life, regardless of what it is you're going through, you have agreed to do a job and you have to do that job every day to the best of your ability at the highest level, regardless of how you may be feeling? That's all of us, but you can't bring your BS to work, okay? The customers don't deserve that and vice versa. Whatever you got going on in your life, don't take that out on the fast food workers, customers. Okay, order your number two combo meal large
Starting point is 01:17:34 and keep it pushing and be kind in the process because you don't know what other people are going through. By the way, once again, this works both ways. Respect me, I'll respect you because disrespect begets disrespect every time. See, Kathy M. Bledsoe was a manager at McDonald's and she told one of her teenage employees to take the trash out and the teenage employee refused to do so.
Starting point is 01:17:56 Now imagine for a second, you a manager at McDonald's Jess, or you a manager at McDonald's Envy, and you ask a teenage worker to take the trash out and they say no. What you gonna do? Fire. Yeah, most definitely. That's what most people would do, right? Okay, that's what most people would do.
Starting point is 01:18:12 She didn't even do that, okay? All she simply did was tell her to clock out and go home. That's it, that's what Cathy did. Told her to clock out and go home. What a girl called her mother, okay? 35 year old Taneika McKenzie, who then came to McDonald's with another teenage girl to confront Kathy Bledsoe, and then all hell broke loose.
Starting point is 01:18:32 Let's go to NBC 5 for the report, please. Shortly before five Wednesday afternoon, police went to check out a disturbance at this McDonald's on South Belt East in Belleville. Officers learned a shooting happened inside the fast food restaurant. The person police say pulled the trigger is a manager. 44 year old Kathy Bledsoe.
Starting point is 01:18:52 Investigators say the McDonald's manager asked the teenage employee to take the trash out and when she refused, the girl returned here with her mother. Police say Bledsoe and the Belleville mom, 35 year old Tanika McKenzie, first argued in the McDonald's lobby. The altercation escalated when McKenzie and her daughter went behind the front counter to an office area.
Starting point is 01:19:14 Investigators say McKenzie struck Bledsoe in her face and head. Police say the restaurant manager then pulled out a gun and fired once, striking the mom and her leg. Oh my God. Donkey men breed with donkey women and have donkey kids. This teenage girl is a donkey with no home training because you work at McDonald's and your manager asks you to take the trash out. You didn't take the trash out.
Starting point is 01:19:38 So they tell you clock out and go home. You call your mama who's 35 year old, Tanika, okay? And Tanika, you didn't ask no questions of your daughter? Right is right and wrong is wrong. I don't know what Kathy said to her in the process of telling her to clock out, but it couldn't have been worth you coming to McDonald's, you know, coming back to McDonald's with your daughter to assault Kathy. Who is teaching the children here? Okay? This is terrible conflict resolution skills. You went back to McDonald's with your child and almost got both of y'all killed.
Starting point is 01:20:08 Okay, Kathy was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and Tanika was charged with aggravated battery and mob action. I don't think Kathy should be charged with a damn thing. Okay. She did exactly what she was supposed to do. I'm at work and I sent your child home for not doing her job and you come up to my place of employment, step behind my counter and try to jump me. Yes, I'm up and on everybody. If I'm scrapped, okay, Kathy got hit in the face and head and fired one shot that hit Tanika in the leg. All because your child didn't wanna take the trash out.
Starting point is 01:20:37 And guess what? Now we know where the daughter gets it from. Okay, the Belleville Police Department put out a statement and I'm not gonna read the whole thing, but they basically said, it's unfortunate this incident occurred. It seems individuals are quick to resort to violence to resolve disputes without consideration of the impact their actions have on the community. As a whole, this was an unnecessary incident that could have been mitigated without punches being thrown or a gun being used. That statement sounds like us civilians talking to the police. Yes, plenty of interactions with cops don't have to lead to violence either.
Starting point is 01:21:07 Well, let me stay focused. Now, Kathy is in custody at the time in this article, but Tanika is not. I guess because she's in the hospital. But I don't think that's right. Okay, what did Kathy do wrong here? Your child, Tanika, didn't take the trash out at McDonald's. Okay, I'm her manager. I sent her home. You come to my place of employment, you and that little girl and try to jump me, come behind the county and put hands on me. I shot you. Is that not standing your ground? Is that not self-defense? Now this happened in Illinois. Illinois does not have a stand your ground law. It says while Illinois does recognize the right to self-defense, it does

Starting point is 01:43:08 Shout out to her. But no, I wasn't the first person to say he was musty. One of his fans when he did a hosting in like Detroit somewhere I think it was. I remember that video from viral. And then when he came to Wild'n Out and he put his, he side hugged me with the arm and don't you know how I added somebody musty like you know what a stench they hug you When and I was smiling my shoulder. I thought it was me, but I'm like nah That's the shoulder that that meech was on and I know
Starting point is 01:43:32 And I did I kept smelling it wherever I go. I'm like yo what I wasn't musty earlier. Why am I musty now? Other one I'm like not it ain't me ah Why I wasn't musty earlier. Why am I musty now? Meach was on me the whole game Like he was you know, I'm like as a homie wasn't trying to be with me and I'm like he was just chilling On me why couldn't the whole just emphatically say nah, my brother don't think Be hard at work. This is me. I want y'all to say cap immediately. They come back and be like... I would never say that about any of y'all, even you.
Starting point is 01:44:10 That's not true. I'd definitely tell y'all. I'd say that in the room. I would tell... You say that when people don't stink. So I would know you would say that when somebody do stink. I say that when people do stink and don't know they stink. Would you do an interview and be like, yeah, they stink? Yes, he would. Would you go tell your ass? You'd be sitting down with all these people rolling stones. Yes, he would.
Starting point is 01:44:29 If the person was musty, yes. You would. Yes, he would. Because I'm sure I would have already told the person. Yes, he would. I would keep all your sins in house. I would never tell nobody if you all stink. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:44:38 Charlamagne has told people during interviews that they don't smell good. I just told her she was musty a couple days ago. You are lying. Even Donald Glover. He said it, and I am not ever musty here. I don't know why. I just told her she was musty a couple days ago. You are lying. Even Donald Glover. He said it and I am not ever musty here. I don't know why. Wait, what?
Starting point is 01:44:49 He told Donald Glover, like, you don't really smell too fresh. You just so little. Men just keep secrets here. If a guest comes, we keep it to ourselves. Absolutely. There's been a lot of them. The Donald Glover thing was different though. It was hard to not notice that.
Starting point is 01:45:00 You was foul for that. I know. Really? I was y'all foul for not telling him. He didn't even say it like smart, but I was just mad like he said it anyway, I was oh my god Why is he was like really like come on man like he's like no You don't smell too fresh today But listen the moral of the story for this is to normalize telling our friends
Starting point is 01:45:24 They say when they do have an odor. Because it's like, yo, he made up the whole Frito thing. What if he meets you like, no, I don't need to eat Fritos. You know what I mean? Like, what if he say that? That was the nice way of saying he do stink. He smell like a bag of chips, like a bag of Fritos. Because Fritos smell like feet.
Starting point is 01:45:39 Now, I do think that when it comes to men and women dynamics, there's certain odors I'm not going to talk about. Like if it's the breath, for sure, if it's musty, sure. But when that BB be hitting, okay, that one should be woman to woman. Continue on. Or if you able to tell somebody is on their menstrual, that's a woman. A woman pull it to the side. Look, boo.
Starting point is 01:45:59 Yeah. But what if it's no women around? What if it's no women around? You care about that sanitary napkin is soiled. I got another one for you, here you go. You know what I mean? You might wanna say that. That's crazy.
Starting point is 01:46:10 Or something. That's how you say it? But we have to, yes, we have to normalize doing that. You could just be like, hey, I think you gotta go to the bathroom and freshen up and then just hand the sanitary napkin. Yeah, what if they ran out though? There's like, here's a fresh one.
Starting point is 01:46:20 I bought some just in case you didn't. Cause obviously she went out, you know, she went at one past the time because she don't have another one. I would pay to see. Because obviously she went out, you know, she went out and went past the time because she don't have another one. I would pay to see a woman be like, hey, you know, you got a little older and she'd be like, really? And then the girl be like, period poo. Oh my God.
