Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Hey y'all, Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Starting point is 00:01:31 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.

Alive. What's happening? Another day. What's up with you guys? Everything good? Yeah, everything's good. Minus the BS, life's great.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Right? You have to appreciate every day of life. You have to say thank you. Gratitude should be your attitude when you wake up breathing. I think so, anyway. I've been trying to get ready for Angelina Jolie Day, so that's on Friday. So I got a lot of really
Starting point is 00:03:49 fun things happening, so I'm excited for that. Your mic sounds good. As I prepare for that. Yeah, you gotta reset. And shout to Toronto. What up, Toronto? Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick. Yeah, but she was saying Angelina Jolie Day is this Friday where she does this huge performance.
Starting point is 00:04:05 There's going to be giveaways. There's going to be a lot of stuff going on. So that happens this Friday. So excited for Angela Yee Day. Do I sound better? Yeah, you sound better now. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Yeah, so that's all I was saying. Just getting ready for Angela Yee Day. Yes, you're right. I have a lot of things that I'm actually giving away. And we're supporting black-owned businesses. And it's the release of Reggae Gold 2024 VP Records. So I'm teaming up with them to bring you some reggae and dancehall and soak it all day.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Yeah, it sounds like you're frying chicken underwater now. Yeah. The microphone. Let me say it one more time. Well, Lecrae will be joining us this morning. We're going to kick it with Lecrae. Always like talking to Lecrae. He's got a new album out called Restoration.
Starting point is 00:04:45 And I believe he's dropping a book of the same name as well. That's right. It's out in October. We'll kick it with Lecrae, find out all about that. And we got front page news. What are we talking about? I'm scared to talk. There you go.
Starting point is 00:04:57 You're good now. I didn't even do anything. Oh, it sounds better now. All right. We are going to talk about Jacob Blake and his shooting, what is his condition as of now, and what is happening in Wisconsin. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front-page news. Did you see the games last night, You sure there ain't nobody in chairs? I actually did not see any basketball games last night, and I don't know how that's possible because I was watching ESPN and I turned to the RNC convention
Starting point is 00:05:36 for a little while, but other than that, I didn't watch much TV. I didn't see any games. I know the Clippers won, right? The Nuggets beat the Jazz last night, and also the Clippers beat the Mavericks last night. Okay. And boy, did they beat them.
Starting point is 00:05:50 154-111. That's a pretty hellified beating. Yeah, that's a beating. So what else we got, Yee? Well, since you are talking about scores in the NBA, Fred Van Fleet and Norm Powell said the Raptors were considering boycotting games after the Jacob Blake shooting. Playing or not playing puts pressure on somebody. So, you know, would it be nice if we all say we're not playing?
Starting point is 00:06:17 And the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, you know, that's going to trickle down if he steps up to the plate and puts pressure on district attorney's office and state's attorneys and governors and politicians there to make real change and get some justice. Like, if we're going to sit here and talk about making change, then, you know, at some point we're going to have to put our a** on the line and put something up to lose. Like, I'm just over the media aspect of it. We talk about it every day, that's all we see, but it just feels like a big pacifier at this point.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Yeah, I love the fact that the brother wants to do something, but, you know, it's going to definitely take more than one game because, you know, they say, oh, we got to investigate, which I never understand, especially when there's a video. I think investigations, you know, that just seems like a proper protocol to follow, but when there's an actual video of what we saw, how do you justify that? Like, how could you ever come out of that situation and say oh yeah they you know they they were in the right to do what they did nah no way that's my that's that's professional malpractice if you ask me
Starting point is 00:07:15 yeah the federal investigators are reviewing that police shooting right now and you know just for some context 29 year old black man uh jacob blake he was shot at close range sunday evening he was trying to enter an suv he was not armed he remains in the hospital in stable condition they're saying now that he is paralyzed and they're not sure if it will be permanent they said it will be a miracle if he is able to walk again, though. Now, here is Jacob Blake's father. I'd like to thank everyone for coming out in support of my son with this senseless attempted murder that was committed on him. He shot my son seven times. Seven times.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Yeah, and the reason that I guess they pulled him over, the reason that they came is he was actually breaking up a fight, so they had the wrong person, right? Is that correct? Yeah, he was breaking up a fight. And listen, these police officers, they still haven't made a statement. We don't know what their response is. We don't know what de-escalation they tried to use.
Starting point is 00:08:20 We have no idea what's happening on their end. There's never any reason to shoot a man seven times in the back, though. It's not like that guy was reaching into his car to pull out an AK-47 and turn around and shoot the police officers. But if you really wanted to rescrain the guy, you should have rescrained him before he even got to the car. It was two of y'all, three of y'all. You outnumbered him. You can't slam people to the ground any other time. Why couldn't you do it in that moment?
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yes, Attorney Ben Crump said right now, the police haven't said none of what their reason was for shooting him seven times in the back. Instead, they're trying to obtain statements from Blake's family. He said, well, why don't you tell us what you did to justify this using this force? What kind of de-escalation did you use? What kind of training did you follow? What was it that made you shoot at least seven times in his back at point blank range while his three boys were in the car watching their father get executed? And I believe one of the kids is eight and it was his birthday. It was very hard to come up with a reason when you don't have a reason. You know, they've used every single excuse in the book throughout the history of time that I've been alive to justify a lot of these police shootings.
Starting point is 00:09:27 But, you know, the more they get caught on camera, the less reasoning they can come up with. You can't say, oh, he was fighting with us. He was struggling with us for the gun, yada, yada, yada. OK, that that happened. And then he got up and walked away. Y'all were behind him. Like there could have been something else that was done other than shooting the man seven times. Now, the governor of Wisconsin, Tony Evers, has called
Starting point is 00:09:47 for calm yesterday. He also declared a state of emergency and doubled the National Guard deployment in Kenosha from 125 to 250. And there were more than 30 fires that were set in the city's downtown. Dozens of buildings were destroyed and
Starting point is 00:10:03 according to the governor, he said, we cannot allow the cycle of systemic racism and justice to continue. We also cannot continue going down this path of damage and destruction. And Jacob Blake's mother, Julia Jackson, said the damage does not reflect what her family wants and that if her son could see it, he would be very unpleased. That's right. And good luck trying to get a generation of brothers and sisters raised off. If you buck to calm down. All right. And they shouldn't calm down. And here's the thing America needs to understand. And it's inevitable. A war is coming and it's not revenge is karma.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Like you can't continue to push and kill, push and kill a group of people. And then eventually those people don't respond with violence. And it's not about winning or losing either because nobody wins when nothing like that happens. But I truly fear that America just can't escape its karma. It's inevitable. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:11:00 If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Again, the number is 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:11:20 Hello, who's this? This is Brandon from Louisiana. Hey, Brandon, get it off your chest. He's King. How you doing, King? I'm good. How you guys doing this morning? I'm blessed black and highly favored, brother.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I'm just trying to get off my chest and trying to see why we're not talking about this killing in Louisiana last year. About this 31-year-old black man that police killed. Just even though they say he had a knife, that's still not the reason to kill somebody. They shot the man in his back as well, walking into the store. It's just another killing. Yeah, sadly haven't heard about that one. You need to Google that one and check that one out.
Starting point is 00:11:54 What part of Louisiana? Lafayette, Louisiana. And what's his name? Traford Pellerin. Traford Pellerin. Yeah, check that one out. All right, I'll add that trauma to my memory deck, sir. All right, man.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Another one. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? Hey, peace and blessings, guys. How you guys feeling today, man? Hey, what's up? Bless Black and Holly Faber. What's up, Sean?
Starting point is 00:12:15 Get it off your chest, bro. I'm good, Sean, man. I'm good, Angela. Yee, how you feeling over there, girl? I'm doing well, thank you. How are you? I'm doing blessed. I'm blessed.
Starting point is 00:12:24 You know, I'm trying to stay safe out here. It's crazy out here, you know. Definitely is. Tired of shooting, seeing these shooters of black people. You know, it's just sickening, man. And we tired of speaking about it. But can I ask you guys a quick question? Sure.
Starting point is 00:12:39 Yes, sir. It seems like I'm banned from the radio station, man. What's going on? You're on the radio right now. Yeah, but, you know, I've been calling from last month to even this month. And, you know, I've been getting shut down, man, by dramas and, you know, people in the back scene that play in the back row, you know, like, I don't know what's going on, man. Listen, Sean, thank God we have millions and millions and millions of listeners every week.
Starting point is 00:13:10 I think a statistic I read a long time ago was 10% of that audience calls into the radio station. So let's just say it's 10% of 4 million, 8 million, okay? It's a lot of people. The fact you get through so much. Why does he get through every morning? Why does he get through every morning? You and Trav, bro. Trav doesn't, him and Trav. It's not about you or Trav.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Sean, you know why. The back door. Why is that? The back door. Trav hasn't been on barely at all. He's been on one time. Trav has been on like once in the last two, three weeks. You got a problem with Trav, bro. Sean, I need you. No, it's not a problem with Trav.
Starting point is 00:13:47 It's not a lot of fairness when it comes to the love that's shown, you know what I mean? Sean, I need you to go to therapy, bro. I can't believe you're using your time to talk about Trav. You have Trav trauma. You have PTSD, post-Trav
Starting point is 00:14:04 stress disorder. Every time he calls, he talks about Trav. Every time. He has post-Trav stress disorder. I feel sorry for him, man. See, Trav. Yeah, if you're just joining us, Trav and Sean had a rap battle here on the radio,
Starting point is 00:14:19 and Trav washed Sean. I mean, got in his ass like an animal. That is true. And it hasn't been the same since. And I want Sean to go get help to deal with that trauma. Get it off your chest. 805-85-1051. If you need to vent, hit us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? My name is Tracy. Good morning, Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? My name is Tracy. Good morning, Breakfast Club. Tracy, good morning.
Starting point is 00:18:29 How are you, Queen? Well, you know, I just want to encourage people. There's a lot of talk about a one-world order government coming, but what I see is that the only government of one-world order is the government of God. The earth's destiny is to be fulfilled by what God proposes, and there will be peace. The lion will lay with the lamb, and the meek shall inherit the earth. So I encourage people just to hold on and to just see with this paradigm,
Starting point is 00:18:56 all the opportunities that are available. I truly believe that. I'm not naive or silly, but I do know that when I read revelations, I see what's coming, and a lot of people are seeing what's coming. Another thing is, people already wanted to be interested in what was in their DMs and social media. Now, people are asking the deeper questions now.
Starting point is 00:19:15 So, if anything- I truly believe that. Amen, brother. If anything, we're stopping and saying, well, you know, this fearless activity, this twerking, and I'm not putting anybody down. What are the deeper meanings of life? What is God trying to tell us? Whatever your God concept is, you know that there is something going on bigger than ourselves.
Starting point is 00:19:33 And it will be fulfilled. Man was made in God's image, and he loves us. And we are going to fulfill our purpose no matter what's going on. So we still should vote, be vigilant, be active, but don't be unconscious, but be conscious. So I encourage all the brothers and sisters, and we are all brothers and sisters, to just do and sit and listen to the deepest
Starting point is 00:19:54 things and go about your business positively. And that's my message today. God bless and be happy. God bless. All praise is due to God. And I tell people all the time, man, you humans better start giving other humans the grace you want God to give you. Because that raft is going to be something serious. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:20:11 Hey, this is Justin from Jacksonville. What's up, bro? Jacksonville. Jack and Kill, Florida. Yeah, get it off your chest, brother. Okay, man, I wanted some advice, y'all. One, I'm going to college down here in Jacksonville. I go to Jacksonville University,
Starting point is 00:20:28 but I'm trying to transfer down to Florida Atlantic University, where it's way cheaper for me to go to school. I want to know if y'all know any good scholarships or grants that I could apply for. In Florida? I'm not sure. I don't know, sir. Have you looked on Google at all?
Starting point is 00:20:43 Definitely. Definitely a lot. Also, Solomon, I do have a bone to pick with you, man. I caught't know, sir. Have you tried any, have you looked on Google at all? I definitely, definitely a lot. Also, Solomon, I do have a bone to pick with you, man. I called early this year and you seemed to not understand what I was saying, man. Talk to me. You have got to stop, you have got to stop telling these lies, man. You got to stop saying that the average,
Starting point is 00:20:57 average size penis is like eight something, man. You got to stop saying that, man. I've never, I've never, I've never said that, sir. Two men having conversations about penis? Go ahead, keep going, man. I've never said that, sir. Two men having conversations about penis? Go ahead. I said that my penis size is 7 inches and 3-4. 8 when it's warm out.
Starting point is 00:21:15 I've never said the average size for a penis was 8 inches. Man, I don't want to hear that, man. You keep saying this, man. Guys, I've never said that, girl. Why does that bother you? I'm going to be hearing that. I'll be like, that is not it. Because I looked this up one time and I was like, yo, this is not true. The average size for an erect penis is 5.6 inches, sir, with 4.8 inches of circumference. I've
Starting point is 00:21:34 never said that the average size of a penis is 8 inches. I told you that's my penis size, sir. Guys, do you want to continue having this penis talk at 6 in the morning? I just wanted to know what he was upset about because... What's up, DJ Pay 8? DJ Pay 8? What's up, small peepee? What's up? Was he concerned about being below average?
Starting point is 00:21:53 Is that what this was about? I'm sure he's concerned about that. I just wonder if my man be saying this all the time. But I really appreciate what y'all do, man. Thank you, brother. I appreciate you, King. All right. You see that?
Starting point is 00:22:04 That man got confidence. That man can call up before breakfast and discuss penis sizes and not feel uncomfortable. That's a man right there. He knows who to call to talk about penises in the morning. That's right. Get it off your chest. Call another man that's comfortable. 800-585-1051
Starting point is 00:22:20 if you need to vent or if you want to come up and talk about penises, you can do that too. Yee, we got rumors on the way yes Kevin Hart and Usain Bolt do they look alike how did they get mistaken for each other in a post about coronavirus we'll get into that next it's the breakfast
Starting point is 00:22:36 club good morning the breakfast club it's about time rumor report this is the rumor report with angela yee on the breakfast club so there was a post that went up on mbc news it says world record sprinter and eight-time olympic gold medalist usain bolt has tested positive for the coronavirus and is self-isolating at his home in Jamaica. Only problem is they posted a picture of Kevin Hart.
Starting point is 00:23:09 That's why I saw that. That's why I always confuse white people. I do it on purpose. I will mistake Ben Affleck for Matt Damon in a heartbeat. I will mistake Neil Patrick Harris for Channing Tatum all day. I love mistaking Ryan Reynolds for Ellen DeGeneres. That's one of my favorite ones. And I'd love to say
Starting point is 00:23:25 Huh? They're not even close though. Kevin's like 5'2", 5'3", and you're saying it's like what? 6'2"? Totally. Do y'all want to hear what they claim happened? Yeah, let's hear this. Alright, so just to break it down, NBC News did apologize
Starting point is 00:23:42 and they said very sorry about that but bad technical glitch in how photos show up on Facebook and some people did weigh in that they've had similar issues it's a Facebook glitch and they said people are burning NBC today because Facebook pulled the thumb of Kevin Hartford's
Starting point is 00:23:58 story on Usain Bolt that's not NBC's fault Facebook has had a bug for several years that can pull an image from a related story on the page and insist on it being the header. It happened to us. So that was a former video director at Deadspin tweeting about what happened. And listen, I love to say that Elton John is the last living beetle just to piss people off, too. But Breakfast Club, we did that.
Starting point is 00:24:20 We did that this week. I didn't do it personally. But the white people who uploaded our videos, damn sure confused Larry Johnson for Larry Johnson. Larry Johnson, the football player for Larry Johnson, the basketball player. Yeah, I don't think that was a glitch. I think the person had the same name,
Starting point is 00:24:34 so they just pulled a picture of the wrong person. Well, either way, all black people still don't look alike. You should double check, okay? All right? You should double check when you're uploading pictures of black people, white folks. That's why you got to have diverse rooms too though right because all you got to do is turn to a black person and a black person that's not kevin hart i mean that's not usain bolt or just google well i think what they're trying to say happens is that they pull
Starting point is 00:24:57 the pictures for you so it goes with the story and so it's a glitch on facebook that's what they're trying to say, that it's something that happens automatically, I guess, with these news. Because Kevin Hart had said in his stand-up that he did have coronavirus earlier this year, so there was a story about you seeing both with coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:25:18 So Facebook, I guess it's automatic that they pull a picture, and it must have been a similar story on the page about coronavirus, and it pulled the wrong picture. I don't know. I don't use that for my news. So Facebook thinks all black people look alike. I think it's more like an algorithm thing.
Starting point is 00:25:35 It's not like a person sat there. It's not that a person sat there and pulled the picture. They're trying to say, because the story was about coronavirus, it pulled the wrong picture. I don't know. I would be mad if they raised an algorithm. Now, do you want to hear what Kevin Hart said?
Starting point is 00:25:50 Opposed to the picture Charlamagne said it was me. I would be mad as hell. Look ahead. That'll never happen. Kevin Hart said, no comment. I must have gotten really fast and tall overnight. I want to take advantage of this moment and raise anybody in the world. We can bet whatever.
Starting point is 00:26:03 It's just got real. I'm also no longer doing comedy due to my Olympic training schedule. I'm back, bitches. P.S. This is disrespectful on so many levels. All you can do is laugh. Maybe the COVID-19 shrunk his legs and torso. Well, let's take a white person today. Okay?
Starting point is 00:26:21 That's all. That's all. All right. Now the Detroit lions has become the first professional sports team to not have practice to, because of social justice concerns, they actually canceled their practice. So that is a Trey flowers was talking about what happened and Patricia, Matt,
Starting point is 00:26:41 Patricia, who is a Detroit lions coach. They had a conversation following the death of George Floyd. And, you know, all that Trey Flowers wanted Matt Patricia to do because Matt Patricia was like, what can I do to help? He said, just listen. And the comment weighed on Matt Patricia and a video emerged of Jacob Blake being shot in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. And Matt Patricia decided, I just don't feel right about going into practice. I don't feel right about running some football drill without talking to my team.
Starting point is 00:27:08 So we had a team meeting, 100 players, coaches and staff and everybody. They said it was a very heavy, emotional and powerful day. And so they decided to call it off that day and canceled practice. I wonder if corporations understand that. I wonder if corporations understand the trauma that comes with being a black person in America and having to see these executions on the Internet, on TV all day, every day. I wonder if they understand how much that weighs on us. And we still are asked and required to come to work and do our jobs.
Starting point is 00:27:39 I wonder if they understand the toll that that takes on us. I wonder. All right. Now, Bella Thorne has said that she made $2 million on OnlyFans in a week. In one week, $2 million. In 24 hours, she made $1 million, and she's also making a movie about it.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Who is Bella Thorne? The actress, remember we were talking about her before? What was she on? Disney. I don't know. She sings? That's not Hannah Montana, is it? That's Miley Cyrus.
Starting point is 00:28:09 Miley Cyrus. Which one is that? Are you mistaking white people right now? Miley Cyrus, the one who used to date Pete Davidson? That was Ariana Grande. Are you having fun mistaking white people this morning? Who's Ariana Grande? That's the one that had to be for Kanye West, man.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Come on. Oh, yeah, yeah. I know. Okay, so Ariana was the one that Kanye was beef with, the one that Kanye interrupted on stage. Is that who Bella Thorne is? That's Adele. Adele. Oh, wait a minute now.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Well, all I know is she made $2 million on OnlyFans in a week. She said she's putting her donations toward charity and her production company, and she's also using her experience with the website as a research for a movie that she wants to make and star in with Sean Baker. So it should be pretty interesting. Now maybe she won't be so mad at Kanye all the time from when Kanye interrupted her at the VMAs
Starting point is 00:28:56 all those years ago. I'm happy for her. Congratulations Bella. Alright, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Now, when we come report. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? The Republican National Convention night two will give you some highlights.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Melania Trump spoke last night. Also, we'll tell you what she said. All those white people look alike. I'm telling you that right now. All right. Even the black people that speak at the RNC look like white people. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.

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.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a woman. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.
Starting point is 00:31:46 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.

Listen to Civic Cipher every Saturday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, yeah? Well, let's start with Clippers coach Doc Rivers.
Starting point is 00:33:14 He was speaking last night, and this was before Game 5, and he was discussing just the anger and sadness in having to address all of these issues with police officers shooting a black person yet again with Jacob Blake. Just watching the Republican convention, all you hear is Donald Trump and all of them talking about fear. We're the ones getting killed. We're the ones getting shot. We're the ones that were denied to live in certain communities.
Starting point is 00:33:39 We've been hung. We've been shot. All you do is keep hearing a fear. It's amazing why we keep loving this country, and this country does not love us back. God bless Doc Rivers. I feel your pain, King. This isn't even about being American, though.
Starting point is 00:33:58 It's bigger than the country we're in. It's about being a child of God, knowing that something out there is bigger than you, and giving humans the grace that you want God to give you. Because I promise you, the energy that this country gives out will come back. It's all inevitable. A war is coming.
Starting point is 00:34:13 And trust me, it won't be revenge. It will be karma. All right. Well, according to Ben Crump, who is Blake's attorney for the family, he's saying that Jacob Blake is paralyzed right now after being shot multiple times by police in Wisconsin. He said it would take a miracle for him to walk again.
Starting point is 00:34:34 I hope America knows it's inevitable. A war is brewing. It's coming. And like I said, it's not revenge. It's karma because you just won't continue to push and kill, push and kill the people. And then eventually those people don't respond with violence. And it's not about winning or losing that war either, because nobody wins when something like that happens. But I just fear it's inevitable.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Well, the governor of Wisconsin has declared a state of emergency after cars and buildings were set ablaze. He called in 250 members of the National Guard to assist as well. And actually, there were two people, multiple gunshot victims yesterday, according to the Kenosha Police Department. They said a person was injured and taken to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries,
Starting point is 00:35:20 but two people are dead as well. And they're investigating what happened right now. They're investigating whether the shooting resulted from a conflict between demonstrators and a group of men with weapons who were protecting businesses. So right now they're asking that anybody who has information to please contact them. It's amazing to me how they call in the National Guard
Starting point is 00:35:40 to deal with the victims of these murders and these violent attacks? Why not calling somebody to deal with the perpetrators of these crimes? Like, I don't think that there would be this type of reaction if the government just simply did what it was supposed to do whenever we see black people get shot and killed at the hands of the police the way that we do. Just arrest the goddamn cops. You know what I'm saying? Treat the cops like the criminals that they are when they do stuff like this. If they did, they wouldn't have these kind of reactions in these cities. It's really just that simple.
Starting point is 00:36:15 All right. And again, the Republican National Convention night two was last night, and Melania Trump spoke. And here she is discussing racial injustice. It is a harsh reality that we are not proud of parts of our history. I encourage people to focus on our future while still learning from our past. I urge people to come together in a civil manner so we can work and live up to our standard American ideals. I also ask people to stop the violence and looting being done in the name of justice
Starting point is 00:36:52 and never make assumptions based on the color of a person's skin. Instead of tearing things down, let's reflect on our mistakes, be proud of our evolution, And look to our way forward. Why she don't give that advice to all the racist white devils that she's probably speaking to when you say don't make assumptions about a person because of the color of their skin? Or her husband. My God. Just turn over my bed and say, hey, babe, how about this?
Starting point is 00:37:21 Oh, come on, Envy. You think they sleep in the same bed? Knock it off. Listen, I definitely didn't stay up for Melania Trump, though. That was not, come on, Envy. You think they sleep in the same bed? Knock it off. Listen, I definitely didn't stay up for Melania Trump, though. That was not the headline I wanted to see. I went to bed. I was like, I got free tickets to the show, but I didn't stay for the headline. You didn't stay, no.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Wasn't interesting. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Front Page News. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Lecrae will be joining us. We'll kick it with Lecrae. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Lecrae will be joining us. We'll kick it with Lecrae, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:37:47 The Breakfast Club. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building right now. We have Lecrae. What's happening?
Starting point is 00:38:06 What's up, son? Lecrae. Peace, King. Always a blessing. Always a privilege, even under these circumstances. Absolutely. How are you holding up during this pandemic? How are you quarantining? Man, you know what I'm saying? I'm the principal. I'm the cook. I'm the
Starting point is 00:38:21 janitor. You know what I'm saying? My kids, they about to all get expelled as far as I'm concerned. You know what I'm the cook. I'm the janitor. You know what I'm saying? My kids, they about to all get expelled as far as I'm concerned. You said you're doing well despite these circumstances. What are these circumstances to you? Oh, my gosh. I mean, right now we're sitting in the middle of racial and social unrest. We're sitting in the middle of an unprecedented pandemic. We're in a political climate unlike anything we've ever been in before. So it in the middle of unprecedented pandemic. We in a
Starting point is 00:38:45 political climate unlike anything we've ever been in before. So it's a lot of noise. You know, and I don't even think human beings are conditioned to be able to process all of this at the same time. It's like trying to process it simultaneously is traumatic. You know what I mean? I agree. How do you keep your faith during this time?
Starting point is 00:39:02 How do people keep their faith? Like you said, with everything that's going on and people losing their jobs and, you know, family members being sick. You know, how do people keep their faith during this time and still believe? I can tell you for me, what's been helpful for me is having close friends, having people around me who understand what I'm going through, who can look me in my face and not try to fix me, but face me every day. Reading my Bible, doing some devotionals consistently. Music has been helpful for me. Meditation. You gotta do your meditation and
Starting point is 00:39:31 shoot, if you need, just vent. Vent to people and let them set you straight. All of that stuff is helpful for me. I don't know if we've had this conversation, Lecrae, but I've always said I pray and I go to therapy. I know a lot of religions, it's changed over the past few years, but a lot of religious folks don't necessarily believe in therapy.
Starting point is 00:39:50 What do you say about it? Yeah, I agree with you. I think oftentimes there's not a lot of integration. And so when it pertains to faith or religions, I liken them to like a piano, and the piano sounds real good by itself. But the piano that doesn't want to play with the guitar and the drums is, is doesn't sound as beautiful in the drums and the, and the, and the guitar is therapy and maybe medication. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:40:18 And so I pray in the Lord, tell me to go sit myself in somebody's chair. So we need more, more integration, man. Nobody would ever say, you know, I'm overweight, just pray about it. You're the way to fall off. Right, right, right. Nobody would ever say that. You know what I'm saying? You got to do the work.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Work. Yeah. Now, Lecrae, you do address that in your new book as well, I Am Restored, How I Lost My Religion But Found My Faith. And there are a lot of things about yourself that you hadn't even realized as well. And I know this is kind of a part two for your earlier book, and you were talking about your relationship with your wife,
Starting point is 00:40:54 with your children. So now that you guys are home during this pandemic, how have you addressed those head on? Man, I mean, honestly, I've been in therapy for two years, you know, just dealing with stuff. Like, obviously, anybody who understands my story understands, like, I'm a hip-hop kid who found the Lord, but I found America's version of Christianity, which was detrimental to my psyche, and it was drenched in white supremacy. So I had to deconstruct my faith, come to grips with who God is, and strip away the nationalist mindsets that were drenched in it.
Starting point is 00:41:33 It messed up my belief in God. It messed up my marriage. It messed up my whole idea of what it means to be a father. So I had to deconstruct everything and then reconstruct. And so it took a toll on everybody, you know what I'm saying? And, and, uh, you know, I was, as you're reading a book, you know what I'm saying? There was near divorce situations. There was not wanting to go to teach my kids the Bible. It was a lot of stuff like that, that really God had to help me kind of, kind of plow through. And then on top of that, like I said, I'm a hip hop kid who came into the
Starting point is 00:42:02 church. So it was easy for me to just revert back to what I came from instead of, you know what I mean, like trying to seek God more. And I'm grateful that he pulled me out of that nonsense. You were talking about your kids earlier. How old are your kids? I've got 11, 12, and 8. How do you explain to them everything that they're seeing on social media and the shootings and the killings of unknown black men?
Starting point is 00:42:23 Like, how do you explain that to them? I take them right into it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not saying I do it right. I'm just saying I'm doing the best I can. You got to remember, man, like, I'm a black man in America. I'm coming out of, I grew up in a gang environment and I had a spiritual transition and I've got my life on track.
Starting point is 00:42:42 I'm not in jail. I had to avoid so many things. So there's all that undue pressure and the trauma just from being black in America. And now it's like, well, don't, you know, I'm trying to raise my kids in the best way possible. So, you know, my eight year old saw the murder of George Floyd. I didn't shield his eyes from that. And some people will say that was wrong. But for me, I need him to see the realities out here. I know it's traumatic, but listen, I'd rather you understand the traumatic circumstances
Starting point is 00:43:09 that we live in and you be blinded and blindsided and be wondering why you're not treated the same. So they have a very vivid understanding of what's going on. They can talk politics. They can talk race. They can talk all those things. Everything's on the table at my house.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Now, it must have been difficult. There was a point when they tried to say Lecrae is canceled, and that was because of a sound bite that was circulating on the Internet where he was speaking with the White House. Oh, boy, they tried to cancel you, Lecrae. Oh, I forgot about that, Lecrae. Oh, boy, they tried to cancel you. I forgot about that.
Starting point is 00:43:41 And that has to be disappointing because you think about all the amazing work you've been doing in the community and just even in your music also. And then this one soundbite that didn't have the full context around it. And all of a sudden, Lecrae is canceled. So how did you deal with that? And mentally, how did that affect you? Black Twitter will come for you. You survived Black Twitter, you done made it. You survived Black Twitter, you made it. So break down. I promise you, boy. You survived Black Twitter,
Starting point is 00:44:06 you made it. So break down what happened for people that don't know because a lot of people are like, what happened? So I was invited to a discussion at a church about the murder of George Floyd
Starting point is 00:44:16 and so the racial injustice in society. It was supposed to be me, Dr. Bernice King, the owner of Chick-fil-A, and a pastor in Atlanta, a white pastor in Atlanta. And so at the last minute, Bernice King was unable owner of Chick-fil-A and a pastor in Atlanta, a white pastor in Atlanta. And so at the last minute, Bernice King was unable to come.
Starting point is 00:44:28 I guess she got sick or whatnot. And we sat down and, you know, I've had some interaction with them before, so I didn't have any reason to believe this was going to be a go left or wayward situation. And I believe that there was like a sense of like, hey, let me listen to what this black man has to say and learn and talk to the people. The problem a lot of times with white leaders in power is that they're so used to being in the know and being in control that when it comes to an issue on race and justice, they think you can just get the cliff notes and go off the cuff. And off the cuff, he said he was trying to say, man, white people struggle with fragility, and maybe we don't call it white privilege. What if we call it white blessing?
Starting point is 00:45:14 And I was like, oh, Lord God, I got to think quick on my toes to navigate this situation. He said something about slavery as well, which I didn't hear because I was thinking processing, like, where is he going and what am I about to say in response? But, uh, but it shocked me. So I was like caught off guard and over the course of the conversation, I tried to course correct him and change what he was saying. But everybody just caught that clip where he said, white, change white privilege to white blessing. And I'm like trying to process it. And, you know, Twitter blew up.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Like, yo, Craig, why you didn't flip the tables over? Why are you cool with him saying this type of stuff? And I wasn't cool with it. I just was more shocked. But I will say this, where I dropped the ball, and I can own it. When I mess up, I own it. So I'm not going to try to defend it. Where I dropped the ball was I centered my answer around trying to help white people understand what was wrong with what they're saying.
Starting point is 00:46:13 Instead of centering my answer on all the black folks who were hurt by that remark. And I think they felt like, man, you didn't recognize that we were watching this. Which, at the moment, it was a room full of white people. So I really wasn't thinking about the black folks who would hear that and be like devastated. So that was a good lesson for me. You know, it's something I learned. And then black Twitter came for me, like, like, bro, we need you to do better. And I, and I receive it. I like, and we can all do better, but it's a soundbite.
Starting point is 00:46:40 All right. We have more with Lecrae. When we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's the DJ Envy Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's the DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Lecrae. Now, you decided to release this album in the jails before general release, correct?
Starting point is 00:46:56 Yeah, yeah. Why was that? Here's my thing. During the Civil Rights era, people didn't have a problem with religion or with faith or the church because the church had boots on the ground. But I feel like in this era, people didn't have a problem with religion or with faith or the church because the church had boots on the ground. But I feel like in this era, people struggle with faith and people struggle with God and church because they don't see believers really getting out there, getting their hands dirty. So I'm like, I'm going to take it to task and say, if the first shall be last and the last shall be first, let's treat the people that society sees as last first.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Let's take care of the incarcerated people. I got family who's incarcerated. You know, I grew up with my pops in and out of prison and the whole nine. So for me, it was like, I know y'all are human beings and people overlook y'all, so I want to take care of y'all. And that's just always been a part of my MO. When my last album dropped, my tour, my first two stops on tour was Rikers Island in L.A. County.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Because those are the folks who get overlooked. Especially during coronavirus. You see all these inmates are getting infected. Yeah, man. What are y'all doing to prevent that? Yeah. We did a whole campaign. We brought masks to the prisons out here in Georgia.
Starting point is 00:48:00 You know, masks for the people. We did a whole campaign with that. And I just want people to see, like, man, we out here. Like, some people be like, the church, where the church at? I'm like, no, we out here. Like, we for real out here. You know what I'm saying? It's solidarity.
Starting point is 00:48:12 And we don't all, we may not all agree on the same thing. But at the same time, I don't subscribe to this Western political, evangelical version of Christianity. I subscribe to an authentic faith that is a grassroots for the people movement, that God is for the people, you know what I'm saying? You know, whenever I hear you say that, the Western civilization, white, evangelical, you know, sense of Christianity, I feel like that's what the brother Kanye West is on right now. What do you think about that? I know some of the folks who are influential in Kanye's Christian walk right now.
Starting point is 00:48:47 And I'll be candid. I'll just say it straight up. I don't agree with those folks. I don't think they're on the right path. I think they have a political bent, a political agenda, and a power agenda. And I don't think that they think they're wrong. I think there's a lot of institutional racism in there and some white supremacy issues mixed in with their faith. And so their nationalism and their faith is mixed together.
Starting point is 00:49:11 And I'm not saying that Kanye's eating that up, but I'm saying those are the people who are involved in some of his circles. And so hopefully he'll grow and mature. I think right now he's zealous. You know, anytime you embrace something new, you embrace a new faith, you're zealous, and you're just passionate, and you want to, you know, do this, do that, and do the next.
Starting point is 00:49:32 And I think hopefully he'll mature. You know, that's why it says do not be quick to teach, do not be quick to lead, because when you're just learning something, you don't want to assume the role of a leader or a teacher. And he's been a leader his whole career. So, you know, it's like almost unfair that he gets thrust into this position and now he has to leave when he's just now baby. He's a baby in the faith trying to learn what this all means. So I think it's an unfair position for him.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Hopefully that's not what ends up influencing him. It was detrimental for me in my faith. Hopefully he'll steer outside of that. What does owning your darkness look like to you? Best analogy I can give you is like if you know you've got a life-threatening disease, don't pretend like you don't have it and just keep on going about your business. Like, if you know you've got high blood pressure, stop eating fried chicken. You know what I mean? You got to own the fact that you have this and then make changes toward it. So for me, owning my
Starting point is 00:50:21 darkness is acknowledging that the struggles that I have, the issues that I have, that I'm, you know, and not trying to deny them. And that's the problem, I think, with leadership, especially within the churches. Leaders are not willing to admit that they messed up. I'm not a Christian because I got it all together. I'm a Christian because I'm a mess and I know I need a savior. Lecrae, when you decided to go to therapy two years ago, was that the first time you ever went? Well, I went in 2016. I think I went, like, after Mike Brown,
Starting point is 00:50:50 but it didn't click with me. I didn't realize, like, a therapist is like a spouse or a good friend. You got to go through a few of them before you find the one that works for you. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I started going in 2017 myself. I started going three years ago. What made you decide that was the right time? Your phone was a little crazy.
Starting point is 00:51:09 I was going a little too hard. You know what I'm saying? Like, it was like I began to try to cope with drinking while I was on tour. You know what I'm saying? It's like 2016 and you're on tour and you're like, man, I'm going to have a drink. You know, I'm stressed out, Mike Brown, and I'm trying to be a voice for the people. And then one drink turned to two, turned to three, turned to five. And you realize, like, man, I'm grieving,
Starting point is 00:51:30 and I'm coping through alcohol, and I don't realize it. And I talk about this in the book as well. Like, I went to the doctor, like, yo, man, I'm tweaking out. Like, I literally had a panic attack one day at a basketball game. I was at a off game, and somebody was like, yo, Lecrae. And I just was like, yo. And I started always feeling like somebody's going to interrupt my little moment of peace and want to autograph or want to talk to me.
Starting point is 00:51:54 And I was staying on edge, you know what I mean? And so I had to drink to calm down. And when I went to see the doctor to tell him about it, he was like, he was a shady little doctor, boy. This dude, the doctor's office is shut down now. But he was like, man, you should try some of these bars. I mean, these Xanax, you know what I'm saying? And I was like, this dude just called them bars?
Starting point is 00:52:14 So anyway, so that got me on the Xanax for a second. And that wasn't good because I'm drinking and popping pills, just trying to manage everything going on in my mind. And I was like, yo, I'm flipping out. This ain't healthy for me. So I ended up going to a therapist just trying to get some peace of mind. It was a process, man. It was a straight up process.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Were you diagnosed with clinical depression? Yeah, that was in 2018. I didn't know what happened to me. So it got so bad from 2016, you know, just battling, battling. And one day in 2018, I woke up with like a cloud. The best way I can describe it is like, you know, the sun is shining. You know, the trees are green, but you can't appreciate none of it. It's like all bland.
Starting point is 00:52:58 So you could watch basketball. You wouldn't get excited. It's just like, yo, what is this? You know what I mean? And I was like, I don't know what this is. And so they were like, oh, that's a clinical depression. And so that was a wild journey just trying to navigate
Starting point is 00:53:11 that. And, you know, I'm very fortunate. I was able to take four months off and just, you know, rest and go to therapy and meditate and just research and get healthy. But everybody don't have that. I know that's right. Well, Lecrae, we appreciate you for joining us this morning, brother.

Starting point is 00:54:20 Peace, King. Thank you, brother. All right, man. Appreciate you, brother. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Let's talk Claudia Jordan. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now, listen, I know y'all haven't been watching Marriage Boot Camp, but Claudia Jordan's ex-boyfriend, Medina Islam, who's also an actor, he's featured on Marriage Boot Camp. He's dating Phaedra on the show. They haven't had sex, so that's part of the thing that's going on with them on Marriage Boot Camp. Now, Claudia Jordan has revealed that Medina Islam, when she was dating him, was physically abusive to her. She was talking about that on her show on Fox Soul.
Starting point is 00:55:07 And here's what she had to say. We got into an argument. I grabbed his phone and he was wrestling it out of my hand. And this is the first time I've ever said this because you know what? I got inspired by Meghna Stallion. I've been holding this five years now, almost five years, four years.
Starting point is 00:55:19 And he body slammed me into a toilet, broke it in half, and it cracked the porcelain and water went everywhere. I kept that to myself. I never called the police on him. I stayed in bed for four days with back spasms. And we protect these black men. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:55:33 Is there a thank you? Is there a I'll never do it again? Is it I'll get help? No, there's nothing. There's an arrogance when we protect them. So f*** them. I expect to see a lot more of that. You know, I feel like Megan Thee Stallion, her situation, as
Starting point is 00:55:45 Claudia noted, created a paradigm shift where a lot of sisters will be coming out, speaking their truths in regards to being domestic violence victims. Yeah, we have to have a bigger conversation. I was seeing this earlier. Like, you know, why? Why do men feel like they have to put their hands on a woman to get their point across or to have
Starting point is 00:56:01 a conversation? You know, is it male ego? Is it the fact that they're upset? Like, what's the problem? Like, that's the one. It's not male ego. It's fragile. It's fragile ego. It's fragile ego.
Starting point is 00:56:12 It's wounded ego. It's, you know, hurt people hurting people. It's trauma that you experienced when you were a child. And now you put that out to the people that are closest to you. That's all. But it's interesting when people tell their story, when women want to discuss what happens, they get a lot of people making jokes,
Starting point is 00:56:28 doubting them, calling them liars. I saw that happen with Claudia, and she did pull receipts. Now, Medina, in response to what she initially said, and we'll have some more from Claudia, he said, I am a lot of things, but one thing I am not is some WWF wrestler body slamming women across toilets.
Starting point is 00:56:44 This is pathetic, trifling, and desperate. Four years ago, I dated Claudia Jordan. It lasted six months. Six months, y'all, I got socks and drawers older than that. I left her four times in six months because of her mouth and messy ways. On August 28, 2016, I had enough and left for good. She began having a temper
Starting point is 00:57:00 tantrum. As I left peacefully, she grabbed my phone, ran, and started flopping all over the house. For four years, I remained peacefully. She grabbed my phone, ran and started flopping all over the house for four years. I remained silent. And then he goes on to say, you have a history of this and I had enough. So I bounced. This is a joke. You do this to every man that leaves you. You testified against Mike Tyson to have him locked up for rape back in the day. I don't even know what that has to do with anything, by the way. I just want to say, put that out there. Like, what does that have to do? Because she wasn't involved in that situation. She knew the woman and spoke up on her behalf.
Starting point is 00:57:28 She wasn't saying that she was abused. But anyway, he said, you sued Price is Right for sexual allegations. You snitched on Jamie Foxx's private relationship with Katie Holmes and had Entertainment Tonight come to your house so you can publicly apologize. Now, I don't know what his point was in bringing all of these things up, but here's what Claudia Jordan had to say about accountability. I just want to be accountable. I would like for him to say, you know, I had a moment of madness. I reacted crazy when you asked me about my age. I got caught in a lie. Instead of just dressing up, I got defensive and put it on you and started calling you all kinds of names. Really, I should
Starting point is 00:58:02 have lied to you when you were totally honest with me. It would have been nice to just get that maybe, I'm sorry, an apology. I don't need him to be arrested now. I don't see him. We're not in the same circles. Well, listen, I feel like you can't truly heal what you don't reveal. So for all the brothers who are abusing women or have abused women, y'all know who y'all are.
Starting point is 00:58:20 And if you haven't made any real attempts to atone for your actions, change your behavior, apologize. I mean, the karma is going to come back to you. And, you know, even that brother, he has a right to say what he said. You know, he has a right to, you know, express his opinion on the matter because there's always two sides to a story, right? And he could be telling the truth. And Claudia could be telling the truth. But that's why you listen to all stories and believe all proof.
Starting point is 00:58:42 Claudia has a lot of proof. That's it. Now, Claudia said real receipts, not fake ones. Back injury, cracked toilet that had to be replaced, convo with building manager about the time he broke in, and I advised them not to give him access or a key after he broke in through my window and damaged the screen. His ID and proof of his real age, seven olders,
Starting point is 00:58:59 and he says that led to our fight because he was mad. He got caught in a lie. That's when it all hit the fan. If you lie to your girlfriend you live with about something like your age, what else is a lie? Who are you? And then she said,
Starting point is 00:59:11 he said he's never been an abuser, yet here is a restraining order filed against him for hitting a woman in Atlanta in the face with a book in 2003. And she goes on to say, there's more violence, much more recent, but I'll let her tell it. And now Claudia also said this.
Starting point is 00:59:25 She also posted a conversation that she had with Medina's brother. Listen to this. So why do you think he wants to sell this story about how rough his upbringing was and that his mom tried to sell him? What's that about? It's street credibility. He was born in Portland, Oregon. It sounds better to the streets to be from Newark, New Jersey than Portland, Oregon.
Starting point is 00:59:46 But his fake age, that license you're going to post, that's from my house. He did this from my house. Why was your address on his license? To restart his career. This man didn't do anything. So what is that? Her brother? That's his brother confirming the story?
Starting point is 01:00:02 Or am I hearing that wrong? He's confirming that he's phony and that he lies about things and, you know, so. That's his own brother. His own brother. Well, I mean, he's not saying that he's lying about putting hands
Starting point is 01:00:18 on her, though. He's just saying that he has a history of being a liar. His own brother said that. What's going on with this world, man? Yeah, but we don't want to make the same mistake that, you know, other people do either. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, he didn't say that he's lying about hitting Claudia. He just said he has a history of being a liar.
Starting point is 01:00:34 So it's the same thing how the guy bought up a bunch of stuff that Claudia did in the past. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Like, that don't have nothing to do with this situation. What the brother's talking about don't have nothing to do with this situation. Right. I just want to about don't have nothing to do with the situation. Right. I just want to know why do people let social media get to them so much?
Starting point is 01:00:48 Like if you know the truth, that should be enough. And you have to know social media is going to make jokes. And there is going to be people who disagree with you. You just have to know that when you put these type of things out there. I think Claudia wanted to tell her story to show that it's true and that there's other women going through it and encouraging other women to speak up. I think that's the reason why she spoke. I'm not mad at that. There's a lot of women who have difficulty speaking up just because you don't, you don't want to put it out there. You know, that some people won't believe you, you know, you'll get
Starting point is 01:01:14 backlash. Have you been abused before you as a man that abused you before in a relationship at all? Yes. And I actually, I recently, um, a couple of months ago did something about it. It hasn't come out yet, the story, but yes, absolutely. Did he ever apologize? Did he ever come back and say, look, I was wrong for doing that? No? No, he actually went to jail that night. Well, that's even better.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Oh, that's good. He got immediate consequences for his actions. Absolutely. And that was only because my landlord called the cops. It wasn't even me. I felt bad about it. Really? And then, you know, yeah, at the't even me. I felt bad about it. Really? And then, you know, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:47 I feel bad about it. If he put his hand on you, you never want you never want anyone to go to jail. Then all of a sudden now is now. I mean, it's just how you feel as a woman. I think you never want to call the cops. And then even when the cops came, I wasn't trying to press charges because and they were like, you need to press charges because they could see, like, my lip was busted and the house was a mess. And I still was like, no, I don't want him to go to jail. I just want him to leave.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Busted your lip so he swung on you. Yeah, they arrested him because he came back. Because when something like that happens, the cops circle your block. And so they made him leave. And they kept telling me to press charges. I didn't. And then he came back. And so they saw him at the door and they took him to jail.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Damn. Yeah, I'm sorry that that happened to you. But we cannot skate past the fact that DJ Envy just randomly in the middle of your story said, put your hands on me. And see, what's up with you, man? Like, why? He goes, he go put your hands on me and see what happened. You talking about women being abused. Yes, you said that.
Starting point is 01:02:44 I just got mad. I don't know., you said that. I just got mad. I don't know. I don't know. I just got mad. I don't know. That's your divine feminine speaking? I don't know. Yes.
Starting point is 01:02:49 I hear a story. You talk about a guy busting her lip. It just makes you mad and upset. I don't know. It just makes you mad. Every woman that goes through this, I always think of my daughter. His brother called me and tried to get me to bail him out of jail. After that.
Starting point is 01:03:05 I was like, no. Of a man who has put his hands on this woman, which I've spoken about in my book, Shook One, and have spoken about plenty of times on this radio. It's all fragile ego. It's all insecurity. You know, it all stems from a bad place and it never has anything to do with the woman
Starting point is 01:03:24 and everything to do with what's wrong with you as a man. And that's why I encourage all of these brothers to go out there and get some healing, get some help. Them traumas that you've been dealing with since you were a child, man, don't take those things into your 20s, your 30s, and your 40s. I'm telling you, because all you're going to do is hurt the closest people to you. All right. Well, I guess that's your rumor report.
Starting point is 01:03:46 All right. Thank you, Miss. I'm here to leave. We'll have more in the next hour, though. We have a lot of things we still have to get to. But, you know, shout out to Gloria Jordan just for being able to tell your story. I know it's not an easy thing to do, and especially when somebody has a platform also,
Starting point is 01:03:58 and they're denying it, and they're coming at you and trying to make you look like a bad person. And I don't know exactly what happened, but I know it's not easy to put those things out there. We need to drop on a clues bomb for Claudia Jordan. Claudia Jordan cooking with that show. What's the name of that show on Fox though? That's a Fox soul.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Claudia cooking with that show. Is there a name for the show? It's Claudia Jordan, Selena Johnson. Lisa Rae. Lisa Rae. Vivica Fox. Vivica Fox. Claudia cooking with that show. Salute to Claudia.
Starting point is 01:04:31 All right. Well, who are you giving your donkey to? We need a Kentucky Attorney General, Daniel Cameron, to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please. All right. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Donkeys of the Day at Charlemagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed play. So like a donkey. Keyhawk. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the Day is a new one. Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, August 26th
Starting point is 01:05:05 goes to Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron. America, I don't know if y'all realize this, but that man is a clown. 100% grade A certified bozo. Okay, one of my favorite things in life is watching something in real time, feeling like the energy from what I just watched or heard was off, and then watching people on social media react to it. And that's what happened last night when I saw Daniel Cameron speak at the Republican National Convention. See, I personally don't care when black people are Trump supporters. I don't care what your political party is. You can be a black Republican, because truth be told, it's black liberals,
Starting point is 01:05:43 black Democrats that are equally as brainwashed for the old white men on the left as brothers like Daniel Cameron are for the old white men on the right. And that, my friends, is the problem with whatever party you choose to be a part of. OK, I have a problem with brothers like Daniel Cameron. All right. They will stand in front of America and lie on behalf of a white man that doesn't give a damn about his black ass. Okay. It comes a point in time where it's not about politics. It's not about Republican or Democrat. It's not about saying what you have to say so your party can win in November. It's about telling the truth and shaming the devil. Okay. If you are a government official and you black, it's about telling the truth and shaming the white
Starting point is 01:06:26 devil, okay? If you're not challenging systemic racism, if you're not trying to dismantle the mechanism of white supremacy, then guess what? You are complicit in that system's destruction of your people. And that's what Daniel Cameron was doing last night. He referenced in his speech, Breonna Taylor, rest in peace to Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old queen who was an EMT in Kentucky who got murdered at the hands of the police in Kentucky while she was asleep in her bed. And an investigation has been happening for several months, but those officers are still free. But listen to what this man, Daniel Cameron, had to say. Even as anarchists mindlessly tear up American cities while attacking police
Starting point is 01:07:06 and innocent bystanders, we Republicans do recognize those who work in good faith towards peace, justice, and equality. In fact, it was General Dwight Eisenhower, a future Republican president, who said democracy is a system that recognizes the equality of humans before the law. Whether you are the family of Breonna Taylor or David Dorn, these are the ideals that will heal our nation's wounds. Republicans will never turn a blind eye to unjust acts, but neither will we accept an all-out assault on Western civilization. Oh man, let's break this down because words matter. I love words, okay, because all words mean something. See, Daniel, when you say things like even as anarchists mindlessly tear up American
Starting point is 01:07:57 cities while attacking police and innocent bystanders, how can you fix your mouth to say that? First of all, what is an anarchist? What is a person who tries to bring about anarchy? Well, what is anarchy? It's the absence of government. Anarchy is the state of a society being freely constituted without authorities or a governing body. Daniel Cameron, I would say, the reason it is so much civil unrest,
Starting point is 01:08:22 because that's what it is, civil unrest, is because of the absence of government. See, when people say arrest the cops that killed Breonna Taylor, they are wondering, where is the government? Okay, they are camping out on your lawn, Daniel Cameron. They're down in Kentucky protesting because you are absent in all of this, all right? Breonna Taylor's killers are still free. So an absence of government is what is causing this anarchy. So when these American cities get tore up, it's your fault. And every government official who does nothing when black people are getting killed at the hands of the police, y'all go ghost.
Starting point is 01:08:58 Y'all go get absent. And then people like you try to victim blame and say that folks are mindlessly tearing up american cities there is nothing mindless about what they are doing it's actually a lot of thought that goes into it okay these people are thinking about ahmaud arbery they are thinking about brianna taylor they are thinking about george floyd they are thinking about a man named jacob blake getting shot in the back several times while his kids are in the car while you government officials do exactly what you just said y'all won't do and that's turn a blind eye to unjust acts Daniel Cameron says they will not accept an all-out assault on western civilization but I bet you won't ever fix your mouth to say that Republicans will not accept an all-out assault on black people. This is why I say people like you are suckers. Okay, quoting Dwight Eisenhower
Starting point is 01:09:53 saying democracy is a system that recognizes the equality of humans before the law. Well, clearly we don't have no democracy because if we recognize the equality of humans before the law, then the law would be in jail for killing a human named Breonna Taylor. I know for a fact that if a group of black people ran up in a cop's house and shot and killed him while they was asleep, they would be in jail. I know that if two black men shot a cop in the back while a cop was trying to get this car, they would be in jail. So when you speak on a system recognizing equality of humans before the law, what you mean is that only works for the humans that this wicked white supremacist system sees as humans. OK, this country has never seen black people as that, including your black ass, Daniel Cameron. OK, remember the whole three fifths of a human being thing in the Constitution?
Starting point is 01:10:40 Yeah, that kind of skews your equality argument, okay? But where are the cases of that equality of humans thing coming before the law? Because all I ever see is the law preventing humans from ever being treated as equals. Now, Daniel Cameron also said that whether you are the family of Breonna Taylor or David Dorn, these are the ideals that will heal our nation's wounds. I would assume those ideals are peace, justice, and equality. That's what you referenced. Here's the thing, Daniel. Those ideals were never created for us, okay? By us, I mean you and me, all right? I mean Breonna Taylor. I mean George Floyd. I mean Trayvon Martin, Emmett Till, Sandra Bland, Natasha McKenna, Martin Luther King Jr., Medgar Evans, Malcolm X. The list goes on and on and on and on when it comes to black humans on this planet whose equality wasn't recognized before the law.
Starting point is 01:11:32 And you, Daniel Cameron, are continuing the white supremacist tradition of giving black people no justice. So black people will continue to give you no peace. Please let Remy Ma give Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother******, you dumb. And stop locking up protesters in Kentucky because they out there actually fighting for the equality of humans that you claim to be fighting for. Daniel Cameron, okay, stop locking up members of the organization and tell Freedom because they are actually out there trying to get the justice that you keep denying Breonna Taylor and her family.
Starting point is 01:12:13 They out there peacefully protesting, but you keep locking them up and holding them for hours because you may not be for an assault on Western civilization, but you damn sure don't mind an all-out assault on black and brown people. Sucker. My daddy would call a negro like that a jive turkey. Jive turkey.
Starting point is 01:12:33 We ought to bring back jive turkey for you. You jive turkey. Daniel Cameron, you a jive turkey. We should bring that back. You jive turkey. There used to be a restaurant in Brooklyn. For jive turkey? Yeah, and they had all different types of flavored turkeys for Thanksgiving. For real?
Starting point is 01:12:50 Well, Daniel Cameron is a mayonnaise-flavored turkey. Go to Daniel Cameron's page on Twitter or Instagram and just put a bunch of turkey emojis. You jive turkey. And put jive turkey. Let me get his exact Instagram. Let me make sure. Let's have a little petty party this morning.
Starting point is 01:13:06 Why not? Daniel J. Cameron. D-A-N-I-E-L-J-A-Y-C-A-M-E-R-N. Daniel J. Cameron. Just go to his page and put a bunch of turkey emojis. Yo, jive ass turkey. Gobble, gobble ass. Stupid.

Starting point is 01:13:53 Call up now for Ask Ye. Eat the bread. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye. Hello, who's this? This is Asia from Newark.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Hey, Aja, how are you? Hi, hi, DJ Indie. Hi, Sharla. Hello. Peace, queen. It's not more so of a question. It's more so I just need advice, kind of. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:24 I'm in a situation where I just was listening to you guys. You were talking about domestic violence and then, you know, Shiloh saying how it's a fragile ego and it's an insecurity ego and everything, which I agree with 100% because the guy that I'm, like, off and on with now, the first time I had to experience really like domestic violence where he really, you know, opened hand hit me or bought his fist up to hit me was in July when we went down to see my family.
Starting point is 01:14:54 And then it happened again probably like a week or so ago. And I kind of was telling him like he needs help because I know that he grew up without a role model. I know that he haven't been in a relationship where someone really loved him for real. And he's been in and out of jail. You know, the girls that he's been with and street girls, it's, like, different for him. But we have a kid together, and I have other children. My oldest child haven't really had his father and then his stepfather because i i i'm
Starting point is 01:15:27 married but i've been separate for three years so now dealing with him he's like a really good father figure to my son outside of you know his issues or whatever and my son is like you know he's been a great father to me better than you know my real father my stepfather and they love him like when he's not home well he's not in the house anymore they want to call him they want to speak to him they want to go around him because of who he is to them but it's not safe for me when he's angry so i'm kind of like i don't know what to do with the situation our son is about to be 8 months well first of all Angel you know
Starting point is 01:16:10 like you said it's not safe for you and if it's not safe for you it's not safe for your children and he can be quote a great role model but a great role model isn't abusive right and I think you have to think more about yourself
Starting point is 01:16:26 and you being there for your children because anything could happen, things could spiral, and you don't want to wait until you hit rock bottom or even worse. If you do something bad to me. You could be killed, worst case scenario. Right. And you don't want to wait for something like that to happen.
Starting point is 01:16:46 And you don't want to wait until it's so bad that you're in the hospital or that you're dead. You cannot wait for that. And you can't make excuses for him not being the man that he's supposed to be. People have circumstances all the time and they don't act like that. And he needs to get the help that he needs to get you don't need to be making excuses or feeling like you have to do some type of charity for him yeah um i was telling him that he need help i did um the beginning of the year after i had a little while after i had my son decided to go see a therapist in North Carolina, Rutgers. But now because of the whole virus, it's like virtual where we speak over the phone. And I don't think that it's very effective.
Starting point is 01:17:32 And I do suffer from depression and anxiety and stuff because I've been through this with my baby father. Like literally I've been like windows busting out of my apartment holes in the wall doors broken I had a black eye I've dealt with that and I'm about to be 30 and you don't deserve that you do not deserve that that is not anything that you have to put up with
Starting point is 01:18:00 and there's no excuse for it I don't care what he grew up experiencing he should not be putting his hands on you. Right. It's not acceptable. It never will be. He has to get help for himself and you need to make sure you're there for your children. Wonderful.
Starting point is 01:18:17 So thank you. Whatever it is that you need to do, Angel, you know, we want to make sure that we're here to support you as well. So we're going to do, Angel.

Starting point is 01:19:35 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice. Hit Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee.
Starting point is 01:19:54 Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Barefoot Randy. Hey, what's up, bro? What's your question for you? You said Barefoot Randy. Barefoot Randy, like no shoes. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:04 So my question is, so I sing for a reggae band, and we're having a little bit of drama right now within the band. Okay. We've had things happen before. Like our bass player moved to Canada in the beginning of 2020. Our guitar player didn't get his stuff pulled. He's from Ghana, and he didn't get his visa renewed so that's a whole thing but what's going on right now is our drummer has a school and he stores things and over
Starting point is 01:20:35 the last three years he has um you know he's really been a supporting character of the band like paid for a lot more of the stuff and you know, or paid for a good amount of the stuff. You know, he's always done some good stuff. But somebody took something of his down from downstairs at his music school. And now, you know, he's kind of freaking out about it because nobody will fess up to it. And he accused me of taking it. OK, so somebody from your band stole something from him yeah and it wasn't necessarily maybe somebody from my band like there's other people involved at the school too okay right and i'm
Starting point is 01:21:15 just kind of trying you know last time it got a little heated him and i you know he he kind of accused me and then i kind of got heated back at him. And I'm just kind of trying to figure out how to kind of break the ice and be like, yo, man. Because he was kind of almost threatening, you know, to not be in the band. And we've been doing a lot. We've toured through California three times. Like I'm from Washington. We're from Washington State. Okay.
Starting point is 01:21:40 We've been on like five. So you still want him to be in the band because you said he's provided a lot for you guys. Yeah, absolutely. And he's like, he's a solid dude, you know, super solid dude. Right. So it sounds like he's done everything right that he's supposed to do. He was upset that someone stole something. Y'all got into it because he was emotional.
Starting point is 01:21:58 And that has to hurt because you don't know who did it. And now you don't know who to trust. And you feel like I've been doing all this. So put yourself in his shoes to understand how he feels about it and then y'all get into an altercation and I think now's the time to have some empathy right because people go through things in the band it's not easy especially when y'all are trying to make it maybe you're not making the money that you want to you really need help financially you need time dedicated to it so you want people that will be all in and it's hard to be all in when they don't know who they can and can't trust. Right.
Starting point is 01:22:25 Right. Yeah. So I think that's a conversation that you need to sometimes be a little bit humble when you're in a group, because the truth is, it's not easy when y'all. Even when people are successful and making money, it's not easy to get along. So imagine how it is when you're not at that point, when you guys really need to be unified and understand what the goal is. So y'all need to have a nice heart toheart where you sit down and discuss what the issues are also explain that you understand how it must feel to not trust people that you work with and not know what happened and i also am what was it that got stolen it was something pretty inconsequential it's not necessarily the most legal thing to be talking about. Okay. So how much, okay, what is the value of that? How much would that have cost?
Starting point is 01:23:07 It was probably like 50 bucks. Okay. So why don't you guys, you know, the rest of the band members, why don't y'all replace it and just be like, look, just as a show of good faith, we don't know who did it, but we don't want you to feel a way. And I know this doesn't take away from the fact that something happened, but we do care about your feelings and want to make sure that you trust us. And let's make sure. So I think you should do that. Just make some type
Starting point is 01:23:30 of show because it has to feel bad if you're the person that something gets stolen from. And you also feel like I'm the one that's been putting so much into this as well. Why would y'all do this to me? And he don't know who did it. So y'all don't know who did it. Nobody's fessing up to it. It could have been one of you. It could not have been. But let's just make up for it, move forward, and say that this should never happen again. Yeah. That's easy. You know, there's always going to be issues.
Starting point is 01:23:53 It's how you deal with those issues when you have to work with people day after day. Now, how do you deal with it? Are you going to be stubborn? Or are you going to say, okay, I want to really move forward, and I understand the issues that you have, and that you have and I sympathize with that. So here's what we're going to do and let's make sure that we don't have these issues and that we trust each other and we're on your side. We're a team.
Starting point is 01:24:16 Okay. Yeah, I like that. Thank you for that advice. Yeah, it's hard as a band, you know, to do that, to stay humble sometimes. And we've been together for three years. And like I said, been through a whole lot. Fan member changes and all kinds of drama and stuff. And he's been my right-hand man the whole time.
Starting point is 01:24:33 I've been the manager the whole engine of the band. And tell him that. Tell him you've been my right-hand man this whole time and I don't want us to get into these situations. Tell him that. Yeah. Okay. All right, Barefoot Randy.
Starting point is 01:24:46 For sure. Yeah, can I tell you my name, my band name? Mm-hmm, go ahead. Sure. Naughty Pine, N-A-U-G-H-T-Y, Pine, P-I-N-E. And we're from Washington State. And you can check us out on Instagram. And we got our link.
Starting point is 01:25:02 It's Naughty Pine Reggae. Naughty Pine is a great name. I'm going to tell you something. Bare randy is a good name too though i'm not gonna lie to you great name for a man all right thank you man thank you yes i appreciate that you know i heard you say barefoot the other day y'all were talking about somebody you're like you need to go barefoot you need to this side like yeah oh that's me i do that every day. I walk around because I deal with anxiety. When my anxiety starts to act up, I go outside barefoot, and I ground myself, and then I go hug some trees and say some prayers. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:25:36 I do that three, four times a week. Good, man. That's cool. That's good. But for Nody Pine, make sure you listen on Friday. I'm having Angela Yee Day, and it's all dancehall and reggae and soca music. Oh, I know. I'm going to be tuned in for sure with BP Records, right?
Starting point is 01:25:54 Absolutely. Awesome. All right. All right. Ask Yee, 800-585-1051. Now, you got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, and we are going to talk about Mary J. Blige. Now, whatever you do, do not say this to Mary J. Blige.
Starting point is 01:26:08 When you see her, you might have thought that it was a compliment. She hates it. All right. Well, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up.
Starting point is 01:26:20 It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela. Angela Yee.
Starting point is 01:26:26 It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Mary J. Glyde did a virtual interview with Hip Hollywood, and in that conversation, she talks about one phrase that she doesn't like. She doesn't like this title of Auntie Mary. Listen to what she said. How do you feel about your fans calling you Auntie Mary? I was literally thinking, why can't I just be your sister?
Starting point is 01:26:48 Like, and there's women that are like way older than me calling me Auntie. I'm like, come on, B. Like, can I just be your sister? Your friend in your head? The Auntie is like, come on. First of all, I need to know who is 10 years older than Mary J. Blige calling her Auntie. Queen Mary J. Blige
Starting point is 01:27:04 is 49 years old, so that means that 59-year-old people are out here calling Mary J. Blige calling her auntie. Queen Mary J. Blige is 49 years old. So that means that 59-year-old people are out here calling Mary J. Blige auntie. That's what happens when you forget you're not your industry age. Some people who've been in the game so long, they really start believing their industry age, and they don't realize that they're older than Mary J. Blige. But they got the nerve to call her auntie?
Starting point is 01:27:21 Stop it. You know, my mother has an uncle that's younger than I am. He's like maybe like eight years younger than me. Well, that don't have nothing to do with this conversation. Don't call Mary auntie. That's what we got out of this. You better not. You can't have an aunt or an uncle who's older than you.
Starting point is 01:27:38 But yes, I understand that you don't want to be called auntie Mary. Don't call her auntie. Yeah, and you can't tell someone what's okay to call them. You know what I mean? Some women don't mind to be called Auntie Mary. Don't call her Auntie. And you can't tell someone what's okay to call them. You know what I mean? Some women don't mind aunties. Some women like Mary J. Blige do. I call myself Uncle Sharla and I like when the youngins call me Unc. Big bro is cool too.
Starting point is 01:27:56 What about when they call you Auntie Sharla? I'm fine with that too. I get that all the time. When they post like those pictures of me with the glasses on. I get that all the time. Listen, I'm here of me with the glasses on. I get that all the time. Listen, I'm here for all those terms of reverence. But if Mary is not, that's understandable. All right. Now, Gabrielle Union, Kiki Palmer, Marce Martin and Uzu Aduba joined forces. They're doing a PSA about hair discrimination. I can't believe it's 2020 and we are
Starting point is 01:28:22 still having to have these conversations. It's part of Glamour's September issue and they're working with the Crown Coalition, which is a group of organizations that's dedicated to ending hair discrimination. And here is what that PSA sounds like. When I first started pageants, I was told by many to never let my hair be natural for competition. HR told me my hair looked more professional pulled back and in the bun than it did out and curly. The first time I walked into the office with my natural hair, my supervisor asked if it was forever. I've had strangers walk up and pet me. My hair has a purpose greater than myself, and I will not put it away to comply with white cultural standards of beauty.
Starting point is 01:29:02 Yeah, I hate it. I mean, you know, when you got, I've seen, I've taken my daughter to her track meets before, and I remember this one time, all the little white girls came running over, touching her hair, and I had a fit. I mean, I would stop touching her hair. Stop touching her hair.
Starting point is 01:29:16 I'm yelling at the parents. Hey, keep your kid's hands out of my child's hair. You were yelling at them real? Yes, hell yeah. It infuriated me for some reason. That'd be hot. So you were yelling at him real? Yes, hell yeah. It infuriated me for some reason. That made me hot. So you were yelling at the parents, get your kids, get your kids away from my kids.
Starting point is 01:29:30 Get your goddamn kids' hands out of my daughter's hair. Or my daughter's, you know. But do you even think that there's places where they'll send you home because of your hair? There's rules and regulations on how you can wear your hair at work? I think that's ridiculous in this day and age. I never had that problem.
Starting point is 01:29:44 But hey. It's special. It's a crown. That's why I tell my daughters all the time think that's ridiculous in this day and age. I never had that problem. But it's special. It's a crown. That's why I tell my daughters all the time, that's your crown. All right, well, here's the call to action. Black women are 83% more likely to report being judged more harshly on their looks than other women at work.
Starting point is 01:29:58 Black women have also reported they are one and a half times more likely to be sent home from work simply because of their hair. And when we refuse to comply to white standards of beauty, we can be fired. Thanks to the Crown Act, it is now illegal in seven states for workplaces or schools to discriminate against someone for the way they wear their hair. That number should be 50. Go to thecrownact.com and sign the petition to demand that our legislators protect our rights. Alright, I hope
Starting point is 01:30:26 you don't have to keep on having this conversation. I mean, come on guys. It's ridiculous at this point. Alright, and McDonald's is launching their first new Chicken McNugget flavor in nearly 40 years. Are you here for it? Nope. It's a spicy one.
Starting point is 01:30:42 I never messed with McDonald's Chicken Nuggets even when I ate nuggets. I like Wendy's nuggets better than McDonald's nuggets. I ain't gonna lie, I nuggets even when I ate nuggets. I like Wendy's nuggets better than McDonald's nuggets. I ain't gonna lie, I did used to eat those nuggets. Hell yeah, I ran through a 20 piece with that sweet and sour sauce quick back in the day. I always liked the barbecue sauce the best. But so
Starting point is 01:30:57 should be pretty interesting to see if people flock in for that. And there's also with the new nuggets they have a breaded tempura coating of cayenne and chili peppers. They come with a mighty hot sauce, which is a blend of crushed red pepper, spicy chilies, and garlic. Is it real chicken breast? Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:31:14 Some people say it wasn't real chicken breast. Of course it's not. Chicken nuggets, of course it's not. My brother used to eat a 20-piece of Chicken McNuggets every time we went when we were little, and then they had the little McDonald's play. It was a playground, and then he would spin around and around on one of those little things and then throw up every time.
Starting point is 01:31:31 When I used to get high, that was my thing. I'll go get that number two, them two double cheeseburgers with a 20-piece nugget. Lord have mercy. You would eat all of that? Yes. I was a kid. Number two is two cheeseburgers, fries, 20-piece nuggets. Yeah, I would do the same thing. Number two is ketchup onlyburgers, fries, 20-piece nuggets. Yeah, I would do the same thing.
Starting point is 01:31:46 Number two is ketchup only, medium fries, large Coke, or large. Come on, Envy. You can't fit more than that. My supersize was around. I used to get the supersize. Oh, you like it big. All right. And Ty Dolla $ign is just a collaboration with Nicki Minaj.
Starting point is 01:31:58 He went on Instagram yesterday to reveal his new collaboration, Expensive. And that will be coming out on Friday. So look forward to that. And Kanye is being sued by an e-commerce company. They said that he allegedly stole tech from them. And they said that he took advantage of this company to advance his Yeezy brand and launch his Sunday service and then left them high and dry.
Starting point is 01:32:17 It's a black-owned business called My Channel Inc. that specializes in video and e-commerce technology. He says they linked up with Kanye in 2018 to help him maximize revenue for his Yeezy merchandise. They said he got the company to work around the clock for him for six months based on a series of business promises. He also promised them a $10 million investment, allegedly, and they said that they even moved their headquarters to Chicago
Starting point is 01:32:42 just to make this partnership work out. And they said Kanye had no intention of following through on his promises, cut ties, and then also jacked their technology for Sunday service. Yeah, Kanye's going to represent himself in court, and he's going to say Christians do not steal. Or sue. That's it, y'all. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
