Hey, what's happening? Yes, it's a Tuesday. Yeah, I finally got some sleep last night. It's been hard to sleep. Ever since my friend left us last week, Jasmine Waters, it's been very difficult to sleep. And I finally got about six hours of sleep last night.
Starting point is 00:02:58 So I think I'm bright-eyed and halfway bushy-tailed this morning. Okay, because you swaddled like a little newborn baby right now. Oh, I definitely got my blanket. Got your blanket all the way up to your neck. It's all tucked in and everything. Okay. Yeah, I just rolled out of bed, literally. I looked at the clock. It was 547. I was like, ah, I think I was getting close to that
Starting point is 00:03:18 nice little bit of REM sleep, you know what I'm saying? That drooling going. And I had a dream last night, too. Oh, man. What you dream about? I don't want to say. Say it. It wasn't anything crazy or kinky. It was just a particular person in it.
Starting point is 00:03:33 I'm like, why was that person in my dream? Who was this guy? I'm not saying. I'm not saying nothing. I'm going to keep that to mind. I'm going to tuck that one in. Okay. I might share it at a later date.
Starting point is 00:03:45 All right. It was a random dream, though. The person was just driving. The person was just driving. Yeah, and then they were supposed to give me a ride, but they rolled right past me. It was crazy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:57 Okay, what about you? You good? No dreams? No craziness? Nobody rolled right past you? Yeah, no, nothing crazy. I was looking at why is Lecrae trending right now. That's what I was just looking at.
Starting point is 00:04:09 I see he interviewed the CEO of Chick-fil-A, Dan Cathy. Oh, really? Oh, that sounds amazing. Now, that's an amazing interview. I haven't even watched it yet, but that sounds amazing on paper. Lecrae interviews the president of Chick-fil-A? Wow. It definitely does.
Starting point is 00:04:29 Lecrae must really like that saying. What, you need to sit down with that man and figure out why this guy goes against all that he believes probably in the scripture. I don't know. I'm looking at the comments. It doesn't look too positive. It looks like the CEO of Chick-fil-A was talking about why slavery was a white blessing
Starting point is 00:04:48 and trying to explain why that was. Well, I definitely got it. We definitely got to see that. I haven't even watched the interview. I don't know. I haven't heard it yet. I'm just looking at the trending. Sheesh. I haven't watched the interview, but I can absolutely see why a white person would think slavery was a white blessing. 400 years of free labor.
Starting point is 00:05:09 Hell yes. That was a blessing to white people. A hundred percent. I can totally see why he would say that. Or why he would think that. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news.
Starting point is 00:05:20 What are we talking about? We are going to be talking about donald trump and police reform what is he proposing right now all right we'll get into that next keep it locked it's the breakfast club good morning nv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news where we starting yee well let's start with nfl commissioner roger goodell now he did an interview on an espn special called The Return of Sports, and he talks about Colin Kaepernick. Here's what he said.
Starting point is 00:05:50 If he wants to resume his career in the NFL, that obviously is going to take a team to make that decision, but I welcome that, support the club making that decision, and encourage them to do that. If his efforts are not on the field but in continuing to work in this space, we welcome to that table and to be able to help us and guide us and help us make better decisions
Starting point is 00:06:13 about the kinds of things that need to be done in communities. We have invited him in before and we want to make sure that everybody's welcome at that table. He said all that before. He said that when they had the press conference with Jay-Z, he said the same exact thing, that he welcomes any team to sign Colin Kaepernick and how they invited him to be a part of the Inspire Change situation before. But if I was Colin Kaepernick, I would not want to come back to the NFL.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Number one, Colin's been bigger than football for a couple years now, and to me his purpose is just way greater than football. He does the NFL more favors than the NFL could possibly do him at this point. Yeah, but you could tell he doesn't want to play. Yeah, he wants to play. He absolutely positively wants to play. He wants to prove that he can still play, and I'm sure he wants to win a ring.
Starting point is 00:06:59 I'm sure he does, but I wouldn't if I was him. Right. Well, I mean, his whole life, you know, he's been playing football, and that's his career. So I guess when you feel like something that you love doing is taken from you, you still want to do it. Because the protest was never about, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:15 Colin not having a job in the league. I think it turned into that. You know, we all know what he was originally taking a knee for. He was taking a knee for everything that everybody's in the streets protesting against now. But then eventually it turned into this, you know, we got to get Colin back in the league. That never what the protest was about.
Starting point is 00:07:30 And if we are saying NBA players shouldn't play because entertainment is a distraction, should one of the greatest symbols of social justice out here, Colin Kaepernick, should he play? Wouldn't that be a distraction? I think that's his own personal decision, though. That's a personal thing, though.
Starting point is 00:07:44 We can't tell Colin how to feel about playing or not playing. I'm just talking about everybody else's personal logic when it comes to what they say is a distraction. That's what I'm talking about. Yes. That's what I'm speaking about. All right. Now let's give a rest in peace to Oluwatoyin,
Starting point is 00:08:00 a.k.a. Toyin Salau. She was 19 years old, a Black Lives Matter activist, and Victoria Sims, 75 years old, a volunteer for AARP. They were both found Saturday night in southeast Tallahassee, and they do have a man in custody in connection with the homicides of these two women who went missing last week. So according to police, Aaron Gully, who's 49 years old, had been arrested and was being held at Leon County Jail.
Starting point is 00:08:26 Those charges are felony murder and kidnapping. They have not given a motive for the crimes as of now. But this was something that was definitely being discussed and had gone viral. They had discussed Toyin's tweets. She said, anyways, I was molested in Tallahassee, Florida, by a black man this morning at 530. The man offered to give me a ride to find some place to sleep and recollect my belongings from a church I refused to a couple of days back to escape unjust living conditions. He came disguised as a man of God and ended up picking me up from nearby Saxon Street. I entered his truck only
Starting point is 00:09:02 because I carry anything to defend myself, not even a phone, which is currently at the church. And I have poor vision. I trusted the Holy Spirit to keep me safe. And she said when we arrived at his house, he offered me a shower and I thanked him and showered and he gave me a change of clothes. He exposed himself to me. And then he said I told him about a sexual assault situation that happened to me in March. And he tried to. Well, it was, anyway, basically he talks about being, she talks about being harassed after seeking shelter
Starting point is 00:09:30 and she was sexually assaulted. And now they did find her body and they have found a man that they say did it. So I know that story had gone viral and we hadn't discussed it before, but want to make sure that justice is here. And we want to also extend our condolences to the family and friends of both of those women.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Absolutely. Yes, indeed. Absolutely. All right. All right. Well, that is front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams.
Starting point is 00:12:30 I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts this is your time to get it off your chest whether you're man or blessed
Starting point is 00:13:18 i hear from you on the breakfast club so if you got something on your mind let it out hello who's this? Yo, Andy, what's up, man? Good morning. Good morning, Charlotte. Good morning. Good morning, brother. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:13:31 This is Rick. This is Rick from Brooklyn. What's up, bro? Yo, I want to talk about my anxiety, bro. I've really developed serious anxiety through all the stuff that's been going on from the, you know, Normal.
Starting point is 00:13:44 to, especially now, since I, to, to, to, especially now since I see what happened to Mr. Brooks in Atlanta, like it just triggered it even more. And I can't even sleep. And I think to myself that I'm in my thirties, in my late thirties, but I'm, I'm pretty much healthy. And if I'm developing this kind of anxiety at this point, like how many other people are going through this right now?
Starting point is 00:14:04 And how are we going to even tackle that after, not even after doing this whole thing? How can you tackle, what can you, I'm asking Charlamagne, what can I do for my anxiety? I've been running, I've been trying to exercise. Since I've been home, I've been really getting sleep, but it's still there. And I did something to my mom yesterday,
Starting point is 00:14:22 which I think I shouldn't have done, where I showed her these videos, and she's been having a hard time dealing with her anxiety, too, from being home. And I think I triggered her anxiety even more, too, because it's such a hectic time, you know? Number one, you're not alone. The Washington Post just put out an article on June 12th that talks about how depression and anxiety has spiked among black Americans
Starting point is 00:14:46 after George Floyd's death. And, you know, number two, you're already on the right track. You know, you said you're running and, you know, you're exercising, but really you need to sit down and talk to somebody. Therapy is absolutely positively the best thing for my anxiety. When I sit down and I talk to my teletherapist, my
Starting point is 00:15:01 sacred purpose coach, that's absolutely the best thing. I would find somebody to talk to. Tell the man. Yes, sir. That man, Mr. Brooks, right? Yep. I've seen, we've all been stopped by the cops before. Almost everything correct.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Like, I've never been so polite that I got stopped by the cops before. He did everything correct, and he still died. That, that, that, That shocked me, though. And that shocked me in the sense that we know that it happened, but he did everything correct. He said yes, sir. He said no, sir. He agreed to everything that they wanted him to do.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And I know I've been stopped by the cops before, and I think about it like what cops don't think about is, like, you have a job in the morning, or you got kids that are waiting for you at home. That's right. That's right. And you got family, right? And you stop a guy from falling asleep, and he ends up dying, and he told you his daughter was home waiting on him, right?
Starting point is 00:15:58 Or he lived up the block. So, I don't know. Listen, you got to learn to protect your mind from trauma, man. Dr. Rita Walker have posted these three tips. And it was so good about, you know, protecting your mind from trauma. Number one, you got to acknowledge your grief for the victims, whether it's George Floyd or, you know, the brother in Atlanta or Breonna Taylor. You got to acknowledge your grief for the victims and for the black community. You got to avoid watching videos of violence toward black people.
Starting point is 00:16:26 I know it's hard, you know, to turn our eyes away from that, but you kind of got to avoid it. And sometimes you got to, all the time, you got to take a quiet moment to gain some peace of mind. Just sit or stand outside if you can, man. Take a few deep breaths. Don't do that to yourself. You're re-traumatizing yourself over and over and over and over.
Starting point is 00:16:42 Well, thank you for calling, bro. Get it off your chest. Invest in your mental wealth, everybody, man, especially at a time like this. Guard your energy, man. Protect your mind from trauma. 800-585-1051. Hit us up now.
Starting point is 00:16:54 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:17:12 Hey, this is Misty. Hey, Misty, good morning. Get it off your chest. Get off my chest. I was just thinking, the Black Lives Matter movement, and again, I'm a white female. I cannot even pretend to relate to what the black community is going through right now. And I listen to you guys a lot, you know, to try to get a different perspective on things. But the Black Lives Matter movement is frustrating me because it seems like the black lives don't care about other black lives. Black on black violence is far worse
Starting point is 00:17:49 than... Hey, shut up. I'm saying this to you respectfully. There's nothing you can say whiter than that. Okay? Well, okay. Prove me wrong. There's nothing you can say whiter than that. What do you mean prove me wrong? I don't have to prove you wrong.
Starting point is 00:18:02 What you're doing right now is you're all lives mattering us right now. Okay? And it's not about that. It's about police officers killing unarmed black and brown people right now. Don't come to a cancer rally asking about why ain't nobody in here talking about AIDS. Okay. How about more white people are killed by police officers than black people? Well, that's because there's more white people on this planet.
Starting point is 00:18:24 But per capita, more black people. If you're's because there's more white people on this planet, but per capita, more black people. If you're talking about percentage wise, it's a different story. Okay, but... And you do know that white people kill white people, black people kill black people, Asian people kill Asian people because they're in the
Starting point is 00:18:39 communities together. That's just what happens. Yeah, but we're not saying white lives matter. I mean, I don't see white lives matter. Can I ask you a question? I don't see anybody doing that. Can I ask you a question based off what you just said? There's a statistic, and it's a simple statistic, because I know white people love statistics. Black Americans are 2.5 times more likely
Starting point is 00:18:56 than whites to be killed by police. Explain that when it's way more... But they're not. What do you mean? Yes, they are. No, 56% of people that are killed by police officers. Most states' police forces kill black people at a higher rate per capita than white people. That is a statistical fact. Do you ever think, baby, it's because more black people commit crimes?
Starting point is 00:19:20 Oh, my goodness. All right, go brush your teeth. Go brush your teeth. You ain't goggle yet. You ain't floss. You, go brush your teeth. Go brush your teeth. You ain't goggle yet. You ain't floss. You ain't brush your teeth. You just got mayonnaise all on your tongue, and you just put spread in that mayonnaise.
Starting point is 00:19:30 And FYI, white people commit crimes just as much as black people do. Black people are just more likely to be arrested and charged and actually serve a longer sentence. But let me ask you a question. White people committed the greatest crime, okay, which was slavery. All right, knock it off. Let me ask you a question. She really does. She was saying something. White people committed the greatest crime, okay, which was slavery. All right, knock it off. Let me ask you a question, right?
Starting point is 00:19:46 When it comes to... She really thought she was saying something. When it comes to people like that, do you try to explain or do you just hang up and just let it go? Well, for the sake of radio, you try to explain. Because you try to explain, but, you know, they're not really trying to understand. She could easily Google any facts and numbers. I think people are willfully ignorant sometimes and choose to spew out what they want to when they could easily do some research and find it out themselves, if they so choose.
Starting point is 00:20:11 If she would put that goddamn mayonnaise jar down and stop eating the mayonnaise right out the jar with a spoon, then she could use both hands to use Google. But it's hard to Google when you got that mayonnaise jar in one hand and that big thing, that big spoon in the other. OK, you can Google any article. Stop using black on black crimes.
Starting point is 00:20:29 Deflect away from police brutality. It explains and breaks down all the numbers and how everything can be explained to people. So do some research yourself before you even try to go out there. Just trying to help out any white people that want to use this as a defense. Just please do the research yourself before you even say that. Now, why is the term Black Lives Matter so touchy any white people that want to use this as a defense, just please do the research yourself before you even say that. Why is the term Black Lives Matter so touchy to white people? It's definitely a trigger for white people. Why is it a trigger to say Black Lives Matter?
Starting point is 00:20:54 And nobody is saying that white lives don't matter or human life doesn't matter. We're just saying at this particular point in time, we're screaming Black Lives Matter because y'all act like they don't. I don't know why it's a trigger. Like why is that a trigger? Black Lives Matter because y'all act like they don't. I don't know why it's a trigger. Like why is that a trigger? Black Lives Matter? Ah!
Starting point is 00:21:10 You know what? Did you see that story about the pastor who they were about they were dumping, some white people were dumping a refrigerator on a property that he owned and he asked them to not dump the refrigerator there and then they started trying to attack him
Starting point is 00:21:25 and then he had to pull out a gun to defend himself. It was him by himself and I think like five white people and when the cops came, they ended up arresting the black pastor and not the people that were yelling out racial slurs in front of the police at him. Really? Sounds about right.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I got to find the whole story, but it was a whole situation and they actually did suspend some of the police officers as well and apologized to him. All right. Get it was a whole situation and they actually did suspend some of the police officers as well and apologized to him. Alright. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way? Happy birthday to Tupac too,
Starting point is 00:21:54 man. Today's Tupac's birthday. Tupac would have been 46 years old today. Drop on the clues, bond for Tupac. Yes, Tupac is trending this morning too. Happy birthday, Tupac. And we are going to talk about Howard Stern and he is now speaking out after this blackface video that he did has surfaced. All right, we'll get into that next.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.
Starting point is 00:22:25 I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Starting point is 00:25:44 Nigel Briggs Thornton. Their son was born on June 11th, and he shared a picture of his son on Instagram with his name, his birth date, and a rocket. So congratulations to them. Yeah, shout to Pusha T. Congratulations to them. Pusha.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Salute to Pusha. Drop on the Clues Bonds with Pusha T and his new seed and his queen. Blessings to y'all. Yeah, they got married two years ago after they had been dating for years. And now they have a little baby. All right. And also congratulations to Tiana Taylor.
Starting point is 00:26:11 She is now the latest muse for MAC Cosmetics. So they have teamed up. And she said that she's been playing with MAC products since she was 15 years old, coming up with her own concoctions to get personalized colors and all of that. And she said she was inspired to work with that brand because of their history of celebrating women of color through similar collaborations. They've done collabs with Nicki Minaj,
Starting point is 00:26:35 Aaliyah, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige. So she said, I've been a fan of MAC ever since I was 15. It was the first brand that made me like makeup. I'm so grateful and excited to be sharing this beautiful collection I created with the MAC team, but also hoping to inspire other young women that anything and everything is possible. Yeah, congratulations to her. Yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 00:26:54 I'm going to push back for Tiana Taylor. I'm dropping soon. I saw the track list. I don't know what day it comes out. Yeah, it might be this Friday. All right. Now, Howard Stern has spoken after a video has resurfaced of him in blackface. Now, the video was from a New Year's Eve special back in 1993.
Starting point is 00:27:11 And this was resurfaced after Donald Trump Jr. retweeted the clip of the performance. And here's what it sounded like. Oh, I hate blackface. I just can't get this off. Beside, Whoopi Dunn wrote everything I'm going to say here tonight, so it's all right. Ain't that right, you smelly nigger? Now, Howard Stern also told Variety the ish I did was effing crazy.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I'll be the first to admit I won't go back and watch those old shows. It's like, who is that guy? But that was my shtick. That's what I did, and I own it. I don't think I got embraced by Nazi groups and hate groups. They seemed to think I was against them too. Everybody had a bone to pick with me. And he said I was able to change my approach,
Starting point is 00:27:49 able to change my life and change how I communicated. If I had to do it all over again, would I lampoon Ted Danson, a white guy in blackface? Yeah, I was lampooning him and saying, I'm going to shine a light on this. But would I go about it the same way now? Probably not. And here's what else he had to say on his show on Sirius.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Attacking me during the coronavirus and during Black Lives Matter is absolutely crazy. You want to concentrate on me and bully me and, you know, and expose me, you know, with all the TV shows I've done. They're all out there. There's nothing new here. We all know I was the craziest mother on radio. You know, I'm excited about gay rights, telling you not to beat up gay people. And I'm excited about the changes that are coming out of Black Lives Matter. Watching that guy choke to death. It's it's sickening and appalling.
Starting point is 00:28:37 And it's ridiculous. And I think real change might be in the air. I mean, he's right. You know, it happens to the best of us. You just got to take the L on that one. Yes, Howard's grown. Yes, he's evolved. But all that stuff did happen. Do I think it's stupid for people to be giving out retroactive speeding tickets? Yes, I think it is highly ridiculous to hold people accountable for things they said publicly back in the day because the rules were totally different back then. The speed limit was totally faster and inattentive.
Starting point is 00:29:01 Everything was edgier. That's true. Everything was more risky. Everything was more risky. Everything was more shocking. Yeah, but you can't tell people how to feel. You know what I mean? Because somebody like Taylor, for instance,
Starting point is 00:29:11 one of our producers, she's never heard it. So when she heard it for the first time just a second ago, she was like, wow, I didn't know that. You know what I mean? So some people just hear it for the first time and they feel a way, you know? But you got to put things in context. That was Howard Stern in the early 1990s. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:29:24 It's not like Howard Stern said that yesterday. Because if that was the case, and Living Color wouldn't fly now. Chappelle's Show might not fly. All the great movies from the 90s wouldn't fly. Majority of the music definitely wouldn't fly. Okay, some of your favorite rappers that you love in the door now have used gay slurs and said some wild stuff on records. Okay, it was a totally different time back then. Context matters.
Starting point is 00:29:44 But if somebody hears it now and feels a way, they can still feel a way. But, hey, I'm with you. I mean, it was a different time. Context. Context. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. When we come back, we got some front page news.
Starting point is 00:29:57 What are we talking about? Yes, we'll be talking about a black officer who was fired from the Buffalo Police Department, and that was for stopping a white colleague's chokehold. Now they are saying we deserve a new set of eyes on that case after what happened with George Floyd. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with another hanging that happened.
Starting point is 00:30:29 A man in Houston was found hanging from a tree. And according to the Houston police, they said he was a Hispanic man who took his own life and that no foul play is suspected at this time. Now, his family did say that he was suicidal, but they are still investigating and they are going to do a thorough investigation. So if they think they didn't think at the time that there was any foul play, but I guess we will see what happens. As you know, everybody's on edge because they're nervous of what a challenging time this is. We did hear about two, three other hangings, actually two in California and one in New York. As of recently, the person in New York, Dominique Alexander, and then in California, Robert Fuller and Malcolm Harsh.
Starting point is 00:31:13 You know, it's a very, very, very weird situation because I do not understand how none of these hangings outside are being captured on any type of surveillance camera. There's no surveillance cameras anywhere around these hangings outside are being captured on any type of surveillance camera. There's no surveillance cameras anywhere around these hangings. Like, it's just weird to me because we live in an era where everything is on camera nowadays. That's true. Yeah. Nothing. We don't see a glimpse of it. We don't see them walking somewhere.
Starting point is 00:31:34 Like, nothing. It makes no sense to me. Mm-hmm. All right. Now let's talk about Rayshard Brooks. And police have released the disciplinary history for two of the officers in Rayshard Brooks' shooting. So Officer Garrett Rolfe's record shows a use of force complaint from September 19, 2016 that resulted in a written reprimand the following year. And also several citizen complaints, all with notes that no action was taken.
Starting point is 00:32:00 And Officer Devin Brosnan has two firearm discharges on his record. Both entered on the record this month. So they are releasing those records. And they also are weighing charges for both officers and Rayshard Brooks' shooting. Now, Rayshard Brooks' wife spoke at a press conference. And here's what she said. Tamika Miller is her name. There's no justice that can ever make me feel happy about what's been done.
Starting point is 00:32:25 I can never get my husband back. I can never get my best friend. I can never tell my daughter, oh, he's coming to take you skating or swimming lessons. So it's just going to be a long time before I heal. Like I said, I'm just thankful for everything that everyone is out there doing. And I just ask that if you could just keep it as a peaceful protest, that would that would be wonderful because we want to keep his name positive. Man, protect your mind from trauma, man. I'm sick of black people experiencing that kind of pain.
Starting point is 00:32:58 And I'm damn sure tired of seeing black pain on TV like that. I want everything to get the proper media coverage because awareness allows us to hold people accountable. We got to stop acting like TV's motto isn't if it bleeds, it leaves. All this black blood spilling is good for cable TV ratings and terrible for our mental health. Well, Tyler Perry, according to the family's attorney, has offered to pay for the funeral.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Listen to this. Lastly, we do want to acknowledge and thank uh tyler perry who we spoke with who will be taking care of the funeral for the family he's also going to take care of their four children's college education as well no bomb for tyler perry goddamn there you go all right right. Jesus Christ. I mean, all he's doing is paying for funerals and paying for kids' colleges when he doesn't have to. Which is amazing. Salute to Tyler Perry.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Okay. Absolutely. All right. Now let's talk about a police officer who did the right thing, and she's now trying to get her pension reinstated. She's a black police officer, Carrie O'Horn. She was terminated in 2008 from the Buffalo Police Department. They determined that she used unwarranted physical force. She actually tried to stop a chokehold that white officer Gregory Kwiatkowski used during the 2006 arrest. Now, they said it's important to look at that case now with a new set of eyes.
Starting point is 00:34:18 So she long maintained that she only physically intervened in the arrest because she felt like officer Kwiatkowski wouldn't listen to her verbal protests. And he seemed out of control with anger over whatever happened before she got to the scene of this domestic call. When he didn't stop choking him, she said, then I just grabbed his arm from around the suspect's neck as part of. And now she's trying to get her pension reinstated. And she said he then responded by punching her in the face. So you're telling me that she lost her pension becauseated. And she said he then responded by punching her in the face. So you're telling me that she lost her pension
Starting point is 00:34:47 because she saved the life? She lost her pension for protecting and serving? Isn't that what you're supposed to do when you're in that uniform and you're wearing a badge? Absolutely. Regardless of who the criminal is?
Starting point is 00:34:58 Absolutely. You're supposed to serve. Yes, absolutely. Yes. In that case, it sounds like the other police officer was the criminal. She stopped somebody from losing their life.
Starting point is 00:35:06 She did her job. She protected and served. That's what you're supposed to do. How do you lose your pension for doing your job? Yeah, that's crazy. She saw that he was very angry, choking somebody, probably about to kill them, and felt like she had to save that person's life. And now she doesn't have a pension anymore, and she was wrong.
Starting point is 00:35:23 It is important to re-look at that. And that was, what, 14 years ago? Yeah, she doesn't have a pension. She she was wrong. It is important to re-look at that. And that was, what, 14 years ago? Yeah, she doesn't have a pension. She lost her job. She should be able to sue. Yeah, she should definitely open this back up. Absolutely. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Did he get disciplined for punching her in the face? I don't think so. I mean, I don't know. It didn't mention that. So let's have that young lady on. What's her name? What's her name, Angelique? Cariole Horn. C-A-R-I-O-L.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Cario Horns? Yes. Cario Horns. Horn. Cario Horns. If you know Cario Horn, I don't know where she's from. I don't know where she's at. Where's she from, Yee? This is in Buffalo. Buffalo, New York, yeah. Oh, she's right there in Buffalo, New York.
Starting point is 00:36:03 We should definitely be able to get at her. We need her on The Breakfast Club. We need to put some jumper cables on that story. Definitely some pressure. We need to empower her. Give her a voice. That's right. Pressure on them to get her pension back. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Do you see her age? If you know Carrie Horn. Do I see what? Her age. No, I don't know how old she is, but I know that this, like I said, this incident happened in 2006. She was fired in 2008. Yeah, DM us, reach out, call, email,
Starting point is 00:36:33 whatever you can to get in touch with us. We'll find it. Do we have an email? I don't remember us giving out an email ever on this show, but definitely call us or DM us on social media. My DM is cthagod, C-T-H-A-G-O-D. Hit me on Twitter because I'll see that before I see Instagram. And she was a 19-year veteran when she was fired,
Starting point is 00:36:53 and she was only one year short of receiving her pension. That's effed up. Oh, man. That is effed up. Yeah, tweet us something. Come on. We can get in touch with this young lady. We got to.

She has a Twitter page. Yeah. I hope this is her real Twitter page. It's her name, Carrie O'Horn. It says, former police officer fired for stopping the killing of a handcuffed, unarmed black
Starting point is 00:37:17 man. Spell it again. C-A-R-I-O-L. Carol, what was the last name? H-O-R-N-O-L Carol what's her last name H-O-R-N-E Okay I see it Oh yeah I see it You see it She's been having this Twitter page for a while so this is her She has a website

Starting point is 00:38:08 Carrie O'Horn. She was sued by the officer that punched in the face for $65,000. He actually collected $20,000. We're looking for you, Queen. And guess what? If we can't get her her pension back from the police, we can collectively come together and raise money.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Hopefully give Kaya a nice little lump sum. She was sued by the attorney that represented her for $303,000 because the PBA union was supposed to represent her but they didn't so she was sued for that. Oh, this is a story.
Starting point is 00:38:42 You do the right thing and this is how you get treated. August 2019, lived in a homeless shelter. She was diagnosed with PTSD. What? Her hashtag says, no more sugar coatings. Carrie O'Horn, please reach out to us. We reaching out to you right now, though.
Starting point is 00:38:59 How do you DM people if you don't follow? I do not know how to use this thing. Just tweet her. All right. Well, people will tweet. Just tweet her. All right. Well, people will tweet. All right, guys. All right. Well, that is your front page news.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Now, when we come back, you want to talk about Insecure, guys? You know I do. That is my show. And it was the season finale episode that came on Sunday. I tried to give you all a day just in case you didn't see it when it first aired. So I don't want to give any spoilers out but everybody's been talking about it on social media already and
Starting point is 00:39:30 apparently Issa as you know and Lawrence got back together but Lawrence had been dating Condola for a period of time and now Condola is back in the picture because she's pregnant. Is she going to keep it? Yes. Well this is not a good time.
Starting point is 00:39:45 We're not even together. Why would you want this? This is not ideal for me either. But that's just not an option for me. I wasn't ready with Mark. But this time I want to keep it. And it's not like I don't want kids. I do.
Starting point is 00:39:58 So this means you're getting back with her. No. No. I told you. I want to be with you. But you're having a baby with someone else. But I didn't plan this, Issa. I don't want this to happen. I told you I want to be with you. But you're having a baby with someone else. But I didn't plan this, Issa. I don't want this to happen.
Starting point is 00:40:09 I know. You can be as involved as you want. Either way, I'm good. So you see, they cut from Condola to him telling Issa and then back to Condola. What? It's all Issa's fault. Don't try it. Don't try it.
Starting point is 00:40:23 It's because I've been telling Issa since season one, where are the condoms, Issa? Where are the condoms? They just started having condoms on that show last season and this season. Okay? Oh, you mean Issa from behind the scenes, not Issa on the show? Okay. So what is the question?
Starting point is 00:40:37 I thought you were talking about the show. All those years of unprotected sex caused Lawrence to have that baby. Yes, you should have written condoms into your character. So what's the question? Okay, you're talking about Issa as the producer and creator, not Issa as a character. It's not Issa's character's fault. Okay. No.
Starting point is 00:40:53 So the question is, should Issa stay with Lawrence? I mean, look, he got Condola pregnant. He didn't cheat. He did get her pregnant, and now he's back with Issa. He doesn't want to be with Condola, but then I think there's always this fear. Is he going to get back together with her because they do have a baby together and he's going to have to be in this baby's life?
Starting point is 00:41:09 If you were Issa, what would you do? This man is your soulmate. Y'all broke up, got back together. Everything's fresh. He's the person that makes you happy. But now there's this bump in the road. What would you do? All right.
Starting point is 00:41:22 800-585-1051. I'm guessing you're asking if you were Issa Rae, what would you do? Alright, 800-585-1051. I'm guessing you're asking if you were Issa Rae, what would you do, right? That's the question? Call us up right now. I just got a crazy DM. I hope, you want to hear it? That's funny. I hope a
Starting point is 00:41:38 white man steals your punk-ass dog, then attacks it on your co-host. Ew. Which co-host? Are we talking about you or Charlamagne? That's not nice. I know. Probably me. Yeah, probably you.
Starting point is 00:41:50 But anyway, 800-585-1051. What should Issa Rae do? Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Insecure. Now, what's going on with Insecure, Yee? Yes, you know, it's the season finale, and Issa and Lawrence are back together in love, but the only thing is, during the time that they had broken up, Lawrence was dating Condola, and she's now
Starting point is 00:42:33 pregnant. Listen to this. Is she gonna keep it? Yes. Well, this is not a good time. We're not even together. Why would you want this? This is not ideal for me, either. But that's just not an option for me. I wasn't ready with Mark, but this time I want to keep it. And it's not like I don't want kids. I do.
Starting point is 00:42:51 So this means you're getting back with her. No, no. I told you I want to be with you. But you're having a baby with someone else. But I didn't plan this. I don't want this to happen. I know you can be as involved as you want. Either way, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:43:07 FYI, this is a complete spoiler alert for me. I did not see Insecure this past Sunday. I'm actually two episodes behind, so I'm season finale. This is your fault, sir. And, you know, I did wait a day to give people a day to catch up just in case they didn't see it Sunday. We could have did this yesterday, but I said we'll wait a day. And here we are.
Starting point is 00:43:25 So what is the question? So the question is, if you were Issa, do you think she should stay with Lawrence? He says he wants to be with Issa. He doesn't want to be with Condola, but he does have a baby on the way. This may be the politically correct answer, but it's the correct answer. That's really on Issa because no woman is obligated to stay because the love of her life got somebody else pregnant. If she chooses to stay, that's on her.
Starting point is 00:43:48 But if she chooses to leave, that's on her too because she don't owe Lawrence nothing. What the hell, she got to be somebody's stepmother. But if you were Issa, what would you do? Yeah, if you were Issa Charlemagne. I probably wouldn't stick around. I probably wouldn't stick around to be somebody's stepmama. He needs to handle his responsibilities.
Starting point is 00:44:05 And by the way, when you say in that moment to me, I don't want this baby, that kind of shows what kind of man you are. You can't not want the baby just because you don't like the girl. You hit that raw. You had unprotected sex with her. You shot her club up. So now you can't just say, well, I don't like her, so I don't want to be with this child.
Starting point is 00:44:21 What kind of Negro are you? So if I was Issa, I'd probably walk, because that shows what kind of character you got. So you wouldn't stay with that man? You want a different man? Shut up. 800-585-1051. What would you do, Ye?
Starting point is 00:44:33 You know, it's interesting because I'm looking at Twitter right now. And Cassie said she should stay because they're soulmates and he never loved Condola. And Malin said Issa should stay because the love they have now is undeniable. And if it wasn't me though, I think that I would have to wait, wait it out. I think I would probably, it would be hard for me to break up with somebody because they've been together for so long.
Starting point is 00:44:56 They lived together, broke up. She's been wanting him this whole time. That was the one person she was in love with. But I would also have to take it really slow and not jump all the way in because I'd be a little nervous. I got to see how he acts. He was dating Condola.
Starting point is 00:45:10 He did seem to really like her. And sometimes a baby could bring people together, so I would be a little bit concerned. Yeah, but I agree with you on that end too, but that doesn't say a lot about Lawrence's character. Like you don't want your child just because you don't like the woman. That's lame as hell, bro.
Starting point is 00:45:27 He just said it wasn't a good time for him. And listen, I think men should... I agree with that. It's hard, but he was being honest about it. And Lawrence does seem like the type of person who will step up to his responsibilities, but I'm sure in his head he was thinking, how am I going to tell Issa this?
Starting point is 00:45:41 I just finally got in a good space in my relationship, and now I have to drop this. And he just found out at that moment, So that was his initial reaction. And so sometimes that's hard. He wasn't expecting it. Yeah, I think it's up to Issa. I think it's one of those things you having a baby outside of their bond and their relationship can make things difficult or it could be OK. I mean, it's just one of those things. Do you want to deal with that? You might be like, hey, I don't want that stress. I don't want to deal with that? You might be like, hey, I don't want that stress. I don't want to deal with that.
Starting point is 00:46:07 I want a fresh start or whatever it may be. So I think it's up to Issa. Whatever Issa feels is. Well, yeah, we know that. But we're just saying, what would you do if you were Issa? I'd tell that man to take care of his responsibilities. Just because you ain't like that girl. Don't tell me you didn't like that girl because you liked her enough to hit it raw.
Starting point is 00:46:23 You liked her enough to have unprotected sex with her and shoot her club up. Okay, you liked her that much, didn't you? That's a given, but would you stay? Would you stay with your soulmate? But they've been together before, right? They've been together. They have history. They love each other. So yeah, I mean... Now you gotta raise another
Starting point is 00:46:40 woman's baby too. I mean, yeah, but you feel that's your soulmate. You feel that they have some type of love and some type of bond, you know? This is something that happened beforehand. We've seen it in relationships before. So yeah, I mean, I guess, yeah, I would stay. Think about Dwayne Wayne and Gabrielle Union.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Wasn't it the same? Similar, something like that? They were already together. They were already together. By the way- I thought they took a break at that time. I don't know. By the way, y'all only like stuff Like this on TV
Starting point is 00:47:05 If this was real life Y'all be like Oh hell no Issa You better leave his ass girl You can do better Y'all only like stuff Like this on TV You tell him girlfriend

Yes, so on the season finale, apparently Lawrence has gotten Condola pregnant. Condola is the woman he was dating while he and Issa were not together. But now him and Issa have gotten back together.
Starting point is 00:47:59 They are soulmates. They're in a great space. But he had to break the news to Issa that Condola's pregnant. All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. What would you do? 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this?

Starting point is 00:49:14 from Nashville. Good morning. Now, what would you do in this situation? Good morning. I've been in that situation, actually. Me and my guy was together about three years, and then we had a little hiatus and he saw the people and i did too but we got back together we found out uh nine months later it was a baby um he had a test and it was his and uh i had to end up going to therapy it was hard
Starting point is 00:49:38 but we stayed together for a very long time and now the baby is like nine years old. So, I'm a little older, so. And it worked out. Okay. Yeah, definitely worked it out. So, he has a baby mama from hell, but, you know, he worked it out. That's the other part, right? Yeah, you know, it's interesting because you didn't find out until the woman already had the baby, so
Starting point is 00:49:59 it's not like you knew ahead of time. No, didn't know anything. She let him know that she had a baby. He had no idea. He was thinking, like, no, it's not going to be mine. And it was. He had a test, and it was, yeah. So, it was hard.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Did you chastise him at all for having unprotected sex with other women? Of course. Because you thought that was something special between y'all? That's the part I had to go to therapy about because it was like, you know, like, am I going to be sitting back waiting to see if I have something,
Starting point is 00:50:32 you know? Like, you know, it was really, really hard. It was really hard. The first thing you do is go get tested.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Mm-hmm. Yes, definitely so. So that's the part I was having an issue with, but, you know, we worked it out and I love the child and all of that stuff. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:48 So there's hope for Issa. I just want everybody out there to know that raw is rare, okay? You ain't supposed to be out here just raw and randoms, all right? When you take that condom off, it's supposed to be with that special someone. That unprotected sex is for your soulmates, okay? Jesus Christ. And, ladies, y'all know when your man cheats, the first thing you do is go get that test and be like,
Starting point is 00:51:09 now I got to go get tested because you running around with your dirty d***. That's the first thing we do. Goodness gracious, guys. All right. 800-585-1051. We're taking your calls. Call us up. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Good morning. Good morning. I know it now. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. Like, who knows? You deal with that? Call me. Add your opinions to The Breakfast Club topic. Come on.
Starting point is 00:51:34 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking about Insecure. You want to give us a quick rundown, Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Insecure. You want to give us a quick rundown, Yee? Yes, Issa and Lawrence are back together. They had broken up for a little while,
Starting point is 00:51:51 but the only thing is Issa got Condola pregnant, a girl that he was dating, while him and Issa were on a break. And now he had to break the news to Issa, but they are soulmates, should she stay? Now, Charlamagne said, I wouldn't stay. I gotta get me another man. No, no, no. That's not what I said. What I said was, I said it
Starting point is 00:52:11 sounds politically correct, but it's absolutely on Issa. That's a decision that Issa has. No, we said, what would you do if you were in that situation? Yeah, we know that. But yes, if it was you. I said, I don't know. I probably would. No, you didn't. I probably would not stick around, not because of the situation, but because I think that shows how terrible that man's character is.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Like, you can't just not be in your child's life because you don't like the girl because she was good enough for you to have unprotected sex with. She was good enough for you to have sex with her raw and shoot her club up, but now all of a sudden she's not good enough to raise a child with? What type of n***a are you? You tell him, girl. Nayee, what would you do? I think that I would just have to take it slow and be really cautious.
Starting point is 00:52:51 But if it was me, because we were on a break and he was being honest with me, I would try to make it work. And if it doesn't, you know. Yeah, me too. I mean, it's, yes. If that's my soulmate, we broke up, we're back together, you did this and now break, I think I might stay. All right, but let's go to the phone lines.
Starting point is 00:53:07 Hello, who's this? Monica. Hey, Monica. What would you do in this situation? Oh, I would totally leave, but that's just being selfish because in reality, it's Issa's fault. So it's kind of the thing that now she got to, like,
Starting point is 00:53:19 put her head together on what she's really going to do. She cheated first, and now he came back, and now she's got to deal with the consequences that happened afterwards. So you're saying it's karma? Yeah, it's one of them things. She's just got to deal with it. I wouldn't leave, but like I said, that's just being selfish. But they was broke up, so she can't blame them.
Starting point is 00:53:37 There's nothing wrong with being selfish, though, just so you know. You can be selfish sometimes. That's on you. You definitely can be selfish. I know I am, but in that case, it's one of the things that I'm trying to be optimistic. All right. Thank you, mama. Hello, who's this? This is Anita. How are you? I'm doing well in yourself. Now, we're talking insecure. What would you do in that situation? Move with him to San Francisco and make sure he
Starting point is 00:54:04 paid child support. You wouldn't want him to be around a child, though, and be in a child's life? Yeah, that's what I said. No, you said pay child support. You didn't say nothing about. To be honest with you, he does have a good heart. So he does want to be around him. But I would still move with him to San Francisco.
Starting point is 00:54:22 And he would have the baby when he wants it and then take it from there. I will move with him to San Francisco because there's going to be a chance that he's not going to go and they're going to get together to be honest with you. So now you got to babysit him.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Babysit who? Him because you can't just be all up on him because you're nervous that if you're not there, what he might do. And Issa also has her whole own life in L.A., so that's a little difficult. If I was that young woman's father, if that was my daughter,
Starting point is 00:54:56 I would encourage her not to do that. I'm like, you're going to uproot your whole life and move to San Francisco because that got a baby with another woman? Hell no. That ain't how life works. You got your own thing going on. You would encourage your baby with another woman? Hell no. That ain't how life works. You got your own thing going on. You would encourage your daughter to do that?
Starting point is 00:55:08 Hell no. But if you remember at the end, she actually almost said that, that she would go with him. If you would look at it, she would give him that look like, well, I'll go with you. No, what she said was it's a 45-minute flight. If you remember the end, she gave him the look like, I'll just go with you. No, what she said was it's a 45-minute flight. If you remember the end, she gave the look like
Starting point is 00:55:27 I'll just go with you. Because he looked at her like, you will come and she looked like, well, yeah. She didn't say it, but she did. I feel like I heard her say it's just a 45-minute flight. Yes. Like, it's time.
Starting point is 00:55:44 Let's be clear. I would like to say to you guys, thank you for taking up Ms. Horn because that story moved me so badly. Like, I'm happy that you're going to reach out to her and help her. Yeah, I reached out to her on Instagram
Starting point is 00:56:00 too. I reached out to her on Instagram too. So hopefully... We're going to get Ms. Horn right. Listen, somebody called in earlier and said, didn't that happen to Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade? I don't know if y'all noticed or not. Lawrence ain't no goddamn D-Wade. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:56:20 That is not no reason to be uprooting and moving to San Francisco. Is Lawrence going to San Francisco to get a $100 million contract to play for some team? It's not about the money, bro. It's about the soulmate. He's doing pretty well. He's doing pretty well. You're a bird, yo. Everything is not about the money.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Okay. I love the fact that Marcus Jordan tweeted us. What did he say? He said, has anybody suggested that maybe they broach discuss the topic of miscarriages next season? Shut up, Marcus. We talking about now. What's wrong with you? Knock it off, Marcus.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Marcus is too serious. I'm glad he's into it. Goodness gracious, Marcus. What are you talking about right here, right now? We ain't talking about storylines for next season. We need to get sports back on for Marcus. See, Marcus is... Yes, yes, please.
Starting point is 00:57:00 This is why you got to bring the NBA back right here. We need Marcus arguing about who better, Michael or LeBron. Let's talk about miscarriages for Insecure season six or seven that hasn't even happened yet. Oh, my goodness. All right. We got rumors on the way, Yee. Yes, let's talk about the BET Awards.
Starting point is 00:57:15 They have made all kinds of announcements. It's going to be virtual this year. And let's see what you think about the nominations. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy think about the nominations. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:57:26 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk NBA players. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Well, we're talking about the NBA season coming back. And for NBA players who choose not to play, they are going to lose one ninety second of the money that's owed to them for each game. So they're going to lose that amount of money. So they said it's a higher proportion of salary than when players lose money for when they're suspended. Yeah, I'm really not understanding this. I saw Dwight Howard on CNN last night, and I don't understand why people are acting like athlete activism has not always been a thing. Why they're acting like people have not always protested via sports. Like, I don't understand
Starting point is 00:58:18 why they're acting like this would be a distraction. It makes zero sense to me. You can use the NBA to actually shine light on what's going on more by just doing demonstrations, by doing things like wearing I Can't Breathe t-shirts and wearing Black Lives Matters, you know, sweatbands on your arms, whatever. Like, you can bring attention to it. Speak about it in your post-game conferences, your pre-game conferences. Like, I don't know. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:58:41 All right, well, we'll keep you updated on what's going on with this NBA season. You see the WNBA is coming back though at the end of July. Also. So they definitely. And one quick question. One quick question for all the brothers who say they not going to play in the NBA, who aren't going back to work because that is their job.
Starting point is 00:58:57 Are they going to be, what are they going to be doing? Are they going to be front lines of the social justice movement, whether it's protests, whether it's, you know, funding people who are on the ground, like what are they going to be doing lines of the social justice movement, whether it's protests, whether it's, you know, funding people who are on the ground, like what are they going to be doing in the interim? I don't know. Right. Well, listen, and Kyrie should
Starting point is 00:59:12 still be getting paid, though, because he's he's he's out with an injury. So he still will be able to not play, but still get paid. All right. Now let's discuss why Lecrae was trending this morning. And it's because he was having a conversation with Pastor Lou Giglio and also Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy about race and the church. This conversation happened on June 14th. And this is the clip that everyone's talking about. We understand the curse that was slavery. And we say that was bad but we missed the blessing of slavery that it actually built up the framework for the world that white people live in and lived in and so a lot of people call
Starting point is 00:59:55 this white privilege and when you say those two words it just is like a fuse goes off for a lot of white people if the phrase is the trip up let's get over the phrase and let's get down to the heart. Let's get down to what then do you want to call it. And I think maybe a great thing for me is to call it white blessing, that I'm living in the blessing of the curse that happened generationally that allowed me to grow up in Atlanta. You said white privilege was a blessing? Yeah, that was a little difficult. You said white privilege was a blessing? Yeah, that was a little difficult.
Starting point is 01:00:27 You said it should be called a blessing. I mean, I've never looked at it from that perspective, but I'm not white. But, you know, you're lying if we can't see why a white person would think white privilege was a blessing. I mean, yeah. We act like Satan doesn't have a kingdom too. Yes.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Now, as a person in media, I haven't heard the whole interview, so it's hard sometimes. You know, people take a clip and they post it, and so it's important for me to see what Lecrae's response was and what he said after that to go and watch the whole thing because I see people are upset at Lecrae for sitting there and nodding his head while this conversation was happening.
Starting point is 01:01:02 I have not heard the interview. I didn't even hear about the interview until I got here this morning, in here, what got on the show this morning. But I will definitely be watching that interview later because it just looks interesting on paper. Lecrae talking to the CEO of Chick-fil-A. That wasn't the CEO
Starting point is 01:01:18 of Chick-fil-A that said that. That was the pastor that said that. Who was speaking in that clip? Yeah, that was Louis Giglio. I think his name is Giglio that said that. Well, you got to understand why he would think white privilege was a blessing. They got 400 years of free labor, okay? Systemically, they just get treated much better in this country. They're at the top of the food chain in every statistical category.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Of course, he would think white privilege is a blessing. All right, now let's talk about the 2020 BET Award nominations. So, Drake has the most with six nominations. And then Meg Thee Stallion and Roddy Ricch have five each. And Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Lizzo, and DaBaby have four nominations each. It will all be hosted by Amanda Seals. So that should be interesting and funny to watch. Hey, shout out to Amanda Seals, man.
Starting point is 01:02:02 Drop one of the clues bombs for my goddamn sister, Amanda Seals. Okay, smart, funny. And you know what else is dope? It's also going to be airing on CBS. And that's the first time that's happened. So it will simulcast live across Viacom networks like BET and BET Her. And then it will be nationally broadcasted on CBS on Sunday, June 28th. Shout out to Amanda Seals.
Starting point is 01:02:24 I can't wait to watch that. Absolutely. Amanda Seals, listen, that's what Amanda Seals does. If you've never been to a Smart, Funny, and Black live show, then you have no idea how much of a beast Amanda Seals is
Starting point is 01:02:35 when it comes to hosting something like that. She will body that. Body that. Smart, Funny, and Black. Just judging from her stand-up, I'm sure this would be very well done and put together.
Starting point is 01:02:45 She's a perfectionist. Now, BET has also unveiled the lineup of performers. That includes Alicia Keys, Chloe and Holly, DaBaby, D Smoke, Jennifer Hudson, John Legend, Jonathan McReynolds, Kane Brown, Lil Wayne, Meg Thee Stallion, Roddy Ricch, Sir, Summer Walker, Usher, Wayne Brady, and more. So how are they doing this again? Are they doing it in one?
Starting point is 01:03:05 It's going to be virtual. Virtual. But Are they doing it in one? It's going to be virtual. Virtual. But are they doing it in one building and then no crowd and they air it? Or is it going to be, you know, everybody doing it from their different Zoom or different cameras? Do we know that yet? I have no idea yet. They did not say. But Terrence J and Erika Ash are hosting the first interactive pre-show with celebs, nominees, and special guests also.
Starting point is 01:03:26 Yeah, I'm shocked that this is going to be virtual. The only reason I'm shocked that it's going to be virtual is because everybody's getting back into being out. I would think that they would find a way to do this the same way they would do a sporting event. Probably not have an audience. Yeah, just no crowd. Just no audience and let Amanda do her thing. I think that'd be dope. You know, a lot of
Starting point is 01:03:42 people probably also don't want to fly places right now. Then you got to bring in the whole production team. I can't tell. Yeah, people are out and about. They're partying. I think that'd be dope. You know, a lot of people probably also don't want to fly places right now. Then you got to bring in the whole production team. Yeah, people are out and about. They're partying. I see people all over. They're moving around.
Starting point is 01:03:52 And L.A. opened back up filming TV production, I think on the 12th. I think they started getting back to it. All right. Well, some of the nominations, you know,
Starting point is 01:04:01 best female R&B pop artist. Is it going to be Beyonce, her, Jhene Aiko, Kehlani, Lizzo, or Summer Walker? Who you got? This year, I think Lizzo had a huge year. Beyonce, her, Jhene Aiko, Kehlani, Lizzo, Summer Walker. I think Lizzo.
Starting point is 01:04:16 Why is Beyonce in this category? Beyonce didn't put nothing out this year. I think Lizzo. Lizzo had an amazing year. I don't know. That's a tough one. Lizzo, Kehlani, amazing year. I don't know. That's a tough one. Lizzo, Kalani. Who else you say? Summer Walker. Jhene Aiko. Summer Walker had a great year. I ain't gonna lie.
Starting point is 01:04:32 It's a part of me that's leaning towards Summer Walker. Summer Walker and Lizzo. I think between those two. Jhene Aiko, she has a top ten record right now. It's hard to say. We're basing this off last year, right? If they're basing this off last year, I'll say Lizzo. Lizzo. Yeah, Lizzo. Okay, and the last one I asked you is for best male R&B pop artist,
Starting point is 01:04:50 Anderson.Paak, Chris Brown, Jaquese, Khalid, The Weeknd, or Usher? Hmm. Usher? Why is Usher in this category? Usher had a top five record. Last year? Hey, shut up. You be talking.
Starting point is 01:05:04 No, he didn't. Beginning of this year, he had a top five record. Last year? Hey, shut up. You be talking. No, he didn't. Beginning of this year, he had a top five record. Yeah. Who would that be for last year? I don't know. I don't know for that. I really don't. Best male for last year? I don't know. Who the hell should put out that? Chris Brown. Chris Brown. I'm going to go Chris Brown because no guidance was big last year.
Starting point is 01:05:20 No guidance wasn't no last year? Was it? No guidance wasn't last year? Let's see these predictions. With Chris Brown and Drake? No guidance't no last year. Was it? No guidance wasn't last year? Let's see these predictions. With Chris Brown and Drake? No guidance was definitely last year. All right, guys. We got to wrap because y'all don't know. You guys can't come to any type of...
Starting point is 01:05:35 I ain't no DJ. NB Post didn't know this type of stuff. You're actually right. It was released June 8th, 2019. Okay. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. I bet you D-Nice know that. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:05:51 All right. And shout out to D-Nice. D-Nice is actually going to be DJing here this Friday for the People's Choice. That's amazing. First time in 10 years we've actually had anybody fill in. He turns 50 on Friday. That is not true. Well, I filled in. I filled in before. Wow, look at you silencing black women.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Typical. What if the ratings go up crazy when D-Nice DJs? Oh, they will. They should. They should. Why wouldn't he? He's going to promote it to a couple hundred thousand people that listen to him. Why wouldn't he?
Starting point is 01:06:24 It's way more than a couple hundred thousand people listening to him, just FYI. Ooh. It is. What if people don't realize it's him and they're like, this is the best mix Envy's ever done? That's fine. Be nice to my brother. That is fine. Now, Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to?
Starting point is 01:06:41 We need the good sister, Nene Leakes, to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her, please. Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We have a special guest on the four lines right now.
Starting point is 01:06:58 Live from the White House, we have Attorney Lee Merritt on the line. Good morning, brother. Hey, what's up, King? Hey, good morning, guys. How's it going? I'm blessed black and highly favored. Hey, what's up, King? Hey, good morning, guys. How's it going? How are you, brother? I'm blessed, black, and highly favored. Now, what is this executive order that Trump is signing today on police reform? So I'm in Washington, D.C. for two reasons.
Starting point is 01:07:13 Trump is signing an executive order that includes some things that we asked for. When I say we, as a people, we've been negotiating for a comprehensive police misconduct bill, not only from the White House, but from on local levels and from the White House. The one that Trump plans to sign today includes a national registry of bad cops with a federal registry where they track bad cops so they can't transfer from department to department. You all remember the case of Antoine Rose, 17-year-old shot in the back three times in Pittsburgh. He was shot in the back by an officer who had transferred into his apartment. The same day that he transferred in and swore in, he killed Antoine Rose.
Starting point is 01:07:55 And so this kind of database would allow departments to check that and have that information available to them before they swear and bad cops. You have another component, a major component for me is I believe that we in Charlemagne and actually the whole Breakfast Club last time we spoke, we talked about how the war on drugs leads to so many officer involved shootings because they have a mission of going into the inner city and killing people and taking them to jail. The executive order will transfer resources to the health department so that we treat poverty, homelessness and addiction as a sickness with social workers, with people other than guns. And mental health issues. Yeah, and mental health issues, of course. Obviously, mental health, drugs and poverty are a deadly combination
Starting point is 01:08:47 but the resolution to that is not more guns you need more services to those people so the executive order would direct resources to the services to meet the needs of individuals and And there is an additional resource for police officers. To be honest, the rest of the bill is what they call window dressing and fluff. But it has some key elements that I think that will benefit our community. I will take that conversation to the Senate immediately following the meeting at the White House, and we'll discuss some more substantive changes that the community has been fighting for. Yeah, I saw last week Donald Trump was saying this is the opposite of defunding the police.
Starting point is 01:09:39 Yeah. Honestly, I don't think Donald Trump understands the executive order himself much. But it's not the opposite of the punitive police. It's not providing additional funds to the police. It's moving resources where it belongs. But we can't depend on all the solutions from the White House. The White House doesn't have control of a great deal of purse strings. The truth is that's going to come from the legislator,
Starting point is 01:10:03 and that's what we're meeting with the Senate immediately following. Now you're going to be speaking at the White House today. Will you get a chance to talk to Trump? Will you get a chance to pull him to the side and say, let me talk to you for a minute? We will. We will. So that's a major component of it. I was concerned about bringing myself and a lot of the families
Starting point is 01:10:17 I represent to the White House for a photo op. Right. Because that would be beneficial to the Trump campaign and would do very little for us. So we arranged a private meeting this morning with the families and myself, a roundtable, no cameras. We will be able to talk face-to-face with Trump about some of the issues that these families are facing. What's the major issue you're going to talk to him about this morning? Honestly, I think this all comes back down to the war on drugs.
Starting point is 01:10:43 I think Trump can end the war on drugs by executive order. I think his executive order can go a lot further. For example, legalizing marijuana or taking out of the Schedule A drug category. Most of the drug arrests that we see are for low-level quantities of marijuana. The vast majority of police work has to do with low-level quantities of drugs. Only 5% of police work has to do with anything violent or things that we've expressed major concern about. What do we do if the cops are gone and someone breaks in your home?
Starting point is 01:11:16 Well, it would free up police officers to focus on things like that and move the fight for dealing with drugs in the streets to people who actually have the skills and resources to deal with it. But I'm bringing families like Atapiana Jefferson and Ahmaud Arbery's family, and they get to talk to them about their personal experiences and their run. There's so much corruption within the legal apparatus that it's regional, but it has some federal implications as well. All right, we have more with Attorney Lee Merritt when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:11:51 Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Attorney Lee Merritt. He is the attorney representing the family of Ahmaud Arbery. He's at the White House this morning. Charlemagne? You know, Lee, I see people upset that you are, you know, going to be there. They're upset that, you know, they think Trump's going to politicize it,
Starting point is 01:12:13 which I'm sure he will, just like any politician would during an election year. Is this executive order worth you being there and speaking in front of Trump? And I think William Barr is going to be there as well, right? William Barr will be there, the president of the FOP. I'm sure that he plans to fill the room with a lot of blue coats. So various members of police unions, et cetera. And these are the people that are killing us. These are people who are promulgating the policies that have led to chaos in our communities,
Starting point is 01:12:40 1,100 deaths. By gun violence alone, tens of thousands of people who are killed in other ways, maimed, injured, etc. So, yeah, these are the people that we need to talk to. Is it worth it? I don't like it. Yeah, because these are the people that create the policies that have targeted our communities, yeah, we need to talk to them. We don't need to be nice to them. We need to tell them the truth.
Starting point is 01:13:07 And so it's not a photo op time to say, you know, there's not a time to pat them on the back and celebrate what they have done. But they need to hear from these families that their policies have injured and devastated. Yeah, I think that's very important for those families to go in there and express their pain. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:13:23 I think those families should be able to express their pain on any major platform. And, I mean, it's no bigger platform than being at the White House. So I would love for them to go in there and tell those devils to their face, you know what I'm saying, how they feel about what's going on in this country. And that's exactly right. We're bringing families from really across the intersection of America. We have Jamel Roberson, the security guard,
Starting point is 01:13:46 you know, the good guy with the gun that they all should love, right? Because he's our NRA guy. He was shot in the back by a police officer after stopping a mass shooting. We're bringing one UNT Denton, a student. His father was a chaplain for the local police department. He was hoping to become a police officer. He suffered from a mental health crisis due to a head trauma that he suffered in a car accident. And they didn't know how to deal with mental health.
Starting point is 01:14:13 The local DENT and PD didn't know how to deal with mental health, so they shot him to death. But these are people that when they say back to blue, you've got to ask, what about Darius Tarver? When they say, you know, all you need is a good guy with a gun, you have to ask, what about Janelle Roberson? And they will have to be faced with these people's families, with their children, with their mothers, and I think that's going to be a hard... It takes the politics out of it
Starting point is 01:14:35 and shows them the reality of how dangerous policing is in America. That's right. And what are you going to be speaking about in the Rose Garden? Because they say you're scheduled to speak in the actual Rose Garden. What are you going to be speaking about? the Rose Garden? Because they say you're scheduled to speak in the actual Rose Garden. What are you going to be speaking about? Just that, that we live in the deadliest police culture in the modern world, that there's no nation that kills or incarcerates more of its citizens,
Starting point is 01:14:53 that this is a national crisis, a genocide, that we have to do something about it, that the executive order begins to take steps in that direction, but we must go much, much further. And Lee, please, man, don't bite your tongue. You get up there and you let them know systemic racism exists. You let them know systemic racism exists in the police department. And until we can dismantle that mechanism of white supremacy, nothing is going to change in this country.
Starting point is 01:15:14 Don't bite your tongue, Lee. That's exactly it. All right. Well, thank you for checking in, Lee. Appreciate you, man. I appreciate you, guys. All right. Attorney Lee Merritt, it's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:15:24 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip.
Starting point is 01:15:35 With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Yes, so Bea Simone wants to fix the issue she had after she was accused of plagiarizing a self-help book. So a couple of different authors have called her out on social media for allegedly copying and pasting other people's work for her book, Baby Girl, Manifest the Life You Want. Here's what she had to say. I've never been an author.
Starting point is 01:15:58 So as an influencer, as a creative, as an entrepreneur, me and my team outsourced. We hired a team that we trusted, and they did a lot of things without my knowledge, and I am here to fix it. I've reached out to every creative involved, and even though I feel like the people I hired in my team dropped the ball, I'm taking full accountability because at the end of the day, I'm the leader. I'm the CEO. I'm the CEO. I have no idea what Miss Simone does, but salute to her and her marketing abilities
Starting point is 01:16:29 because we've been talking about her for two days straight. I feel like I've been hearing her name for the past two weeks straight. Salute to her and all that free promo she's getting. She also detailed in a caption for the video, like most creators, I outsource a team to help me with the details, the graphics, the wording, the arrangement of my book. I trusted this team of individuals to take my vision and translate it into
Starting point is 01:16:47 what I hoped to be a map towards manifestation. I have reached out directly to every content creator that was disadvantaged and I am doing everything I can to fix this issue and make everyone whole. How many people do you need to write a book? I mean, you know, I'm a New York Times bestselling author. I wrote a... Talk to him!
Starting point is 01:17:03 Talk to him! Just me and my guy, Chris Moreau. I just thought it was just you and the writer. That's what I thought. Chris Moreau, me and Chris. I mean, I write. Like, I actually write, so I make people's job easy. But, you know, Chris Moreau helps me to, you know, flesh it out and turn it into a bookie book.
Starting point is 01:17:21 I guess for her, she just gave her ideas and they put it together. And, you know, a lot of people, sometimes they'll have a book out and don't even know what's in some of the chapters in theirie book. I guess for her, she just gave her ideas and they put it together. And you know, a lot of people, sometimes they'll have a book out and don't even know what's in some of the chapters in their own book. Oh, that's ridiculous. I thought when you write a book, though, I thought the whole idea, even if you have a writer, is you talk to the writer and they give you drafts and then you approve it. That's not how it works?
Starting point is 01:17:38 I mean, that's the way you should do it. I mean, some people sit down and they do interviews for their book, you know what I mean? But to Angelique's point, if the writer takes the liberty of adding some things, whether it's just information or something to give something more context, if you haven't read it, then you're going to be lost. Yeah, like Yvonne said, she's doing her book right now, and she's been writing her own book, but she did it all herself.
Starting point is 01:17:59 And she was like, woo, that was a mission. And then, you know, I've been writing and I've been kind of doing everything myself, and it's not an easy thing to do. And, and no matter what you'll get it, you'll end up getting an editor. So, but yeah, so all that drama just happened for her. All right. Now, since we've been talking, we've been talking about Insecure all morning. So while the season has ended, you can listen to a new podcast, Looking for LaToya. Now, if you watch Insecure, you know there's a show that they watch all the time on television that they're very into, and that's the name of the show.
Starting point is 01:18:29 Well, now it is a podcast. Listen to this. The following documents the events surrounded by a missing persons investigation. This investigation was conducted by family, friends, a bitch-ass police department, and myself, Rose Cranberry, who is not a journalist by any means. This is Looking for LaToya. Yeah, there were a lot of guest appearances
Starting point is 01:18:55 on Looking for LaToya on the show. Like SZA was on there. Terry J. Vaughn plays the host, Rose Cranberry. Candy Burris, Carl Anthony Payne, Portia. Ray J. was on there. So it's a show within a show. You know how they do that. Well, school me for being stupid.
Starting point is 01:19:11 Who's Latoya? Lucky. When you watch... No. Is that Latoya Lucky? No. No, it's not. When you watch Insecure, you know they always are into watching this television show on the show.
Starting point is 01:19:23 Yes. So the name of the show is Looking for LaToya that they're always watching. It's a fictional crime series. Oh. And so kind of like how other shows might have. I'm not watching Secure, man. It's a show with, yes, you do. I get it.
Starting point is 01:19:34 I get it. It's hard for me to talk to you. I know. I'm sorry. But you don't watch The Bachelor, so we even. Because I'll be listening to the Insecurity podcast with Crystal and Hey Fran. And you don't watch the show? What show? No, I do watch Insecure. I just haven't watched
Starting point is 01:19:49 the last two episodes. Charlamagne, did you know the new Bachelor's going to be black? You wasn't here when we talked about it. The new Bachelor's black for the first time ever. So now Em is going to stop watching it because he only liked it when there was no black people on. No, I'm actually excited that there's finally a black Bachelor. Well, not for me. Who was the Bachelor that was flirting with Envy in Vegas?
Starting point is 01:20:07 Remember the bachelor that was flirting with Envy in Vegas? He was on The Bachelorette, right? If I'm not mistaken. Say his name. His name is Mike. His name is Mike. His name is Mike. I don't know what his name is. Mike. Oh yeah, he's been to the Breakfast Club. Yeah, salute to Mike.
Starting point is 01:20:21 I like Mike, but not as much as Envy likes Mike. Envy likes Mike. Shut up, man. Alright, now the Oscars have been postponed to a later date because of coronavirus, so they have postponed that from, at first it was from it was postponed from February 28th to April 25th, so this is the first
Starting point is 01:20:38 time that they have ever had to move the Oscars. It was since 1932, that's when they started doing it, so now they've moved it and it's never happened before. So it's a different day and age. Now, Lee Daniels said that he originally, did you know this was the director
Starting point is 01:20:53 for Brokeback Mountain? What? No. What? What happened now? Who's trying to be funny here? Now you're interested. Now you're listening.
Starting point is 01:21:02 Who's trying to be funny? Now you're listening. Lee Daniels was what? He was originally the director for Brokeback Mountain. And what happened? And he said
Starting point is 01:21:10 he couldn't get the movie made because nobody wanted to see the movie. He said it was a very expensive piece to keep and I simply couldn't get the movie made. And eventually,
Starting point is 01:21:19 you know, Ang Lee did it and he said he couldn't watch it for 15 years because he couldn't imagine any other filmmaker doing it justice. But eventually, he did see the movie and he loved the direction of it. He said he did it and he said he couldn't watch it for 15 years because he couldn't imagine any other filmmaker doing it justice but eventually he did see the movie and he loved the
Starting point is 01:21:27 direction of it. He said he did it in a way that was palatable for many heterosexuals around the world and then Brokeback Mountain went on to win three Oscars and that included a Best Director. Well it's not too late to direct Broke Black Mountain Lee okay now's a good time you know what I mean I guarantee you can get that made at any studio in
Starting point is 01:21:43 America right now. And I know two guys I work with that could star in it. I'm not a cowboy. I'm just a cowboy fan. It's acting. Okay, you know what? That might can work too. I'm sure he's right. I mean, I have to be a cowboy, but I can be a cowboy fan.
Starting point is 01:22:00 Broke Black Mountain. Let's go, Lee. Lee, let's go, baby. Broke Black Mountain. Let's go. Cowboys versus Giants. Let's go, Lee. Lee, let's go, baby. Broke Black Mountain. Let's go. Cowboys versus Giants. Ooh. I like it.
Starting point is 01:22:10 Clearly the Cowboys are the bottom. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. How did we get here, man? I don't know, man. I hate you guys. All right.
Starting point is 01:22:19 I'm serious, though. Lee could do that. We could do Broke Black Mountain right now. Now would be a good time. I'm not getting on no horse with you. This is a remake. What are you talking about? I'm not talking about us, man. I Mountain right now. That would be a good time. I'm not getting on no horse with you. This is a remake. What are you talking about? I'm not talking about us, man.
Starting point is 01:22:28 I'm just saying. It could be a different version. It could just be a remake. We already discussed a whole other version. It could be a remake. It could be like two radio personalities or something like that. No, no, no, no. I'm not doing that.
Starting point is 01:22:39 You got to have the cowboys. You got to have the cowboys. Two black cowboys. It could just be Broke Black Mountain directed by Lee Daniels. The world wasn't ready for that back then they ready for it now lee i had to grease them up had to get them ready all right prep them grease them up right there you go all right i'm not talking to you guys all right well uh revolt we'll see you guys tomorrow everybody else the people's choice mixes up next and today is tupac's birthday so let me know your favorite pock joint we'll get it on it It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:23:05 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now, shout to Lee Merritt for joining us this morning. Shout to Lee Merritt. He's speaking at the White House today at the Rose Garden because Donald Trump is signing some executive order for police reform. So I can't wait to see how that goes.
Starting point is 01:23:27 And a salute to Lee Daniels. Me and Angel Lee figured out the whole new movie for Broke Black Mountain. You know, she suggested, who did you suggest to star in it? Well, actually, one of our producers suggested Lil Nas X. Lil Nas X would be amazing. Broke Black Mountain, the remake of Brokeback Mountain since we found out earlier that Lee Daniels was supposed to direct the original, but they was fronting on him back in the day because he was
Starting point is 01:23:50 black. So he could remake it. Broke Black Mountain. How did you make it? We did not say all that. He said it was just too expensive to get made and nobody wanted to see it. He didn't say all that. I'm just trying to make Hollywood guilty so they do the remake. That's all. But Broke Black Mountain starring Little Nas X would be amazing.
Starting point is 01:24:06 He needs a co-star. I don't know who his co-star would be. I don't think that we should typecast. Somebody said Frank Ocean. I don't think that's correct. I think that we should get a heterosexual man to play a broke black cowboy. Why was that movie called Broke Black Mountain anyway? Envy. Envy saw it.
Starting point is 01:24:26 I don't remember. I did see it. I don't remember. I seen it with my wife. I don't remember. I don't know. I've never seen Brokeback Mountain, but I remember one time we was on vacation and we was in Anguilla. I love Anguilla. It's the island of Anguilla. They got elections coming up. And we were going to watch Moonlight,
Starting point is 01:24:42 but Moonlight was restricted on the island. I love that movie. Is it just Moonlight? So I thought about the other movie. I thought about any other movie I knew that was about gay people. So I said, oh, Brokeback Mountain. So I went. That was restricted.
Starting point is 01:24:54 Next thing I know, Netflix took me down this whole rabbit hole of gay cinema and every single thing was restricted on the island. I'm saying honestly, I've never gotten a chance to watch Brokeback Mountain. Well, we're home right now. Yeah, so you got time, so you can watch a couple of them. All right, when we come back, we got the positive notes, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:25:14 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Do you know Ford, the car company, is planning to reveal a new Bronco on OJ's birthday? Yes.
Starting point is 01:25:30 That's a little weird timing. They're taking advantage of marketing. Everybody likes marketing and promotion. I don't know why they act like they don't. People want to act so morally sound. When they know good and damn well they're just trying to sell cars. That's it. It's actually a great day to market the Bronco.
Starting point is 01:25:46 I don't know about that particular date, but okay. And listen, I want to salute Columbia, South Carolina, man, the 803. This Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., I will be providing free drive-through COVID-19
