Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:00:16 What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. We need help! That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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
Starting point is 00:00:46 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. 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 shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you love to hate. From the East to the West Coast. DJ Envy.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. The realest show on the planet. This is why I respect this show, because this is a voice to society. Changing the game. You guys are the coveted morning show, but y'all earned it. Impacting the culture. They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:02:01 The world's most dangerous morning show. We in the mother. We in the house. Oops. Start it over, John. One more time. Start it over. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Had the mute on my mic. Had the mute on my mic. Had the mute on my mic. You do it all the time, E. Stop it. Good morning, Angela Yee. Hey, fam. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet.
Starting point is 00:02:51 Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is. Hump Day? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yes, it's Wednesday. It's Hump Day, middle of the week. Good morning, guys. Middle of a quarantine work week.
Starting point is 00:03:04 What week is this? Have we been keeping count? We haven't been keeping count of what week this is, right? No, guys. Middle of a quarantine work week. What week is this? Have we been keeping count? We haven't been keeping count of what week this is, right? No, I have no clue what week this is. Definitely over 50 days, right? On my trip. Yeah, it's been two months. It's been two months. Yeah, the end of March, all of April.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Now May 6th. Yeah, it's been a while, guys. Yeah, it's been a while. It's definitely been a while. It's been a while, guys. It's definitely been a while. I know you guys don't watch Homeland, but yesterday I finally seen the season finale of Homeland. Oh, my gosh. I'm still surprised this is the last season, and there's no more.
Starting point is 00:03:37 There's more to do. There's more to watch. Homeland is a dope show. I know you guys are not into it, but goodness gracious, that was a great ending. Just tell us the ending. We don't watch. No, because there's some people out there like me that didn't see it when it first came out.
Starting point is 00:03:50 When did it first come out? I think a couple of weeks ago. I think a couple of weeks ago. I think they had the season finale. But when I say great, you guys really should watch it. You guys are in the quarantine, so there's new shows you should pick up. And Homeland is one of them. How many episodes are in the series?
Starting point is 00:04:07 How many episodes are? This one, I believe there was 12 episodes, but usually I think there's 10. And this is the eighth season. Eighth, eight seasons. Oh, that's too much. It's good, though, man. It's really, really good. No, it's good.
Starting point is 00:04:20 I mean, it's, oh, man. It's one of those shows you just got to watch. Like Game of Thrones, this is one of them. Billions is another one of them. Ozark is one of them. Now, Billions is back, and Billions is my show. Billions is back. I didn't see Billions yet.
Starting point is 00:04:34 I'm going to start watching that soon, too. But Homeland, my goodness. Great, great, great, great show. Tell me who died at the end of Homeland last night. I can't tell you, man. I can't tell you. You catch up on 90 Day Fiancé and I'll watch Homeland. I ain't watching 90 Day Fiancé, ye.
Starting point is 00:04:48 That just doesn't pique my interest. Nothing about that sparked my interest. Eight seasons of a show is a long time to try to catch up on. I ain't got that much time. If God wanted me to see it, I'd have watched it. And now they have all these throwback pictures of Big Ed. You got to understand. Who the hell is Big Ed?
Starting point is 00:05:04 The horse? 90 Day Fiancé. That's Mr. Ed. Oh, sorry. You got to understand. Who the hell is Big Ed? The horse? A 90 Day Fiance. Mr. Ed. Oh, sorry. I don't know. All right. But this morning we have some people joining us this morning. We have Michael Jordan's children, Jasmine Jordan, Jeffrey Jordan, and Marcus Jordan.
Starting point is 00:05:18 So we'll kick it with them. Of course, The Last Dance is out right now. And that's their dad. So we have so many questions about their dad. Yeah, let's see if we can get some insight into Michael Jordan from his children. You know what I mean? Some insight that he may not be sharing on The Last Dance. Who knows? Who knows what they've observed over the years?
Starting point is 00:05:36 That's right. All right, and then we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, we've been talking about this meat shortage. We'll tell you what fast food place is taking meat off the menu and who is trying to come to the rescue. And we'll give you updates on states and their reopening statuses. All right. We'll be on track next.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Don't you shut it down because there's a meat shortage now. You stop it. Okay. I'm not messing with you this morning, man. We got enough meat in this house, all right? We had meat for weeks, all right? All right. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Th All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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 we start with, Yee? Yep, I had your mic on mute. I'm talking.
Starting point is 00:06:19 All right. Well, let's start with the White House. They are disbanding the coronavirus task force, even though we just told you that models are projecting a higher U.S. death toll. They're saying those numbers have doubled and they expect by August 4th, 134,000 deaths, according to this model. Here is what Donald Trump says is the reason to disband the coronavirus task force. Well, because we can't keep our country closed for the next five years. You know, you could say there might be a recurrence
Starting point is 00:06:47 and there might be. And, you know, most doctors or some doctors say that it will happen and it'll be a flame and we're going to put the flame out. But don't you want your advisors to keep looking at this closely the way you have been looking at it very closely? I'm viewing our great citizens of this country
Starting point is 00:07:04 to a certain extent and to a large extent as warriors. And yes, will some people be affected? Yes. Will some people be affected badly? Yes. But we have to get our country open. Hey, man. Once again, America's economy is an omelet. We the people of the eggs. They're not afraid
Starting point is 00:07:20 to break a few eggs in order to make that omelet go. That's the reality of the situation. They don't care about people. They care about the money, as you can see. Absolutely. And I keep hearing him say it, like Donald Trump said, some people will be affected, some people won't.
Starting point is 00:07:33 I saw Governor Chris Christie say, you know, people are going to die. That's just the reality of the situation. But that doesn't mean we got to be reckless or careless. We just got to adjust to this new normal. Put your mask on, wear your gloves, keep your hand sanitized on you like your smartphone. Well, let's talk about who is dying.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Black Americans, as you know, represent just 13.4% of the American population, but they account for more than half of coronavirus cases and almost 60% of deaths. So as you know, we've been talking so much
Starting point is 00:08:01 about the disparities with the healthcare system. Why are more African Americans in the United States affected than any other group of people? And as you know, we've been talking so much about the disparities with the health care system. Why are more African-Americans in the United States affected than any other group of people? And as you know, this is something that, you know, just seeing how they are already trying to get rid of the task force for coronavirus and encouraging people to go back out, it does affect us more than it affects anybody else. Yeah, and that's why we can't even have that conversation about how coronavirus is impacting the black community without
Starting point is 00:08:27 talking about systemic racism. Like, black people don't have some genetic gene in them that makes them, you know, more vulnerable to coronavirus. It's because of those underlying conditions that were caused by systemic racism. Period. You know, not having great healthcare, not having access to good
Starting point is 00:08:43 food, living in those food deserts. Like that's the conversation people need to be having. How systemically we were put in these conditions and how systemically something needs to be done to help us get out. Period. In Georgia, the governor, Brian Kemp, as you know, has begun to reopen Georgia. But Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms in Atlanta said she believes that he was testing the willingness to sacrifice lives for the sake of economic recovery. She said nothing
Starting point is 00:09:10 has changed about COVID-19. This is still a highly contagious virus that is hitting our community extremely hard and especially communities of color. What it really feels like to me is that this is a testing of the waters and willingness to sacrifice people. I'm not willing to sacrifice my mother,
Starting point is 00:09:26 who is a senior, and certainly not my children, all of whom are asthmatic. Yeah, man, when you hear the mayor in Las Vegas say she asked if her city could be a control group and was told no, that lets you know they're doing social experiments out here. That's part of a science experiment. And I guess a city like Atlanta
Starting point is 00:09:45 got picked to be part of that control group. That was obvious. Right now in Texas, the governor is allowing certain business sectors to start reopening in the coming weeks, starting May 8th. They will allow weddings, cosmetology salons, barbershops, hair salons, nail salons,
Starting point is 00:10:01 tanning salons to open. Gym and exercise facilities non-essential manufacturing plants and businesses operating inside office buildings are allowed to reopen starting may 18th funerals memorials burials and weddings are allowed to commence weddings held indoors other than at a church congregation or a house of worship must limit occupancy to 25 graduation ceremonies at every level of education are allowed subject to certain constraints in Texas. So the governor did consult with Fauci
Starting point is 00:10:31 about the reopening plan and also Dr. Deborah Birx. Malls in Hawaii will reopen on Thursday, according to the governor there. That will be the first step in reopening businesses and getting people back to work. In Illinois, the governor has unveiled a five-phase plan to reopen. And what they're going to do is open things regionally.
Starting point is 00:10:49 So there's going to be four regions, each of which can move through phases at different times. He also said the earliest a region can move to phase three is May 29th. So there will be five phases there in Illinois. And in North Carolina, businesses will open on Friday. Connecticut hopes to reopen summer schools in July, according to education officials. And Denver will begin
Starting point is 00:11:09 reopening on Saturday. So those are just some updates for you. All right. Just don't be careless. Just don't be reckless. You know what I'm saying? Just adjust to your new normal.
Starting point is 00:11:19 The country is opening back up. Put your gloves on if you choose to wear gloves. Definitely wear your mask. It's going to be social distancing at work. Homeschooling might be the wave. I mean, school's almost over for this year, but it might be the wave for
Starting point is 00:11:31 next fall or maybe until they find a vaccine next year. But this is our new normal, people. Get used to it. No more burgers at Wendy's. Just so you know, we talked about the meat shortage and Impossible Burger is trying to step in to save us from that meat shortage. So you can have some veggie burgers.
Starting point is 00:11:47 I'm not mad at that. That might be a sign from God. Maybe he wants us to change our diets. Maybe Mother Earth once again is healing itself and healing the life on the planet. Who knows? All I know is for all you carnivores, if you want to eat meat and don't know how to live off the land, you're in trouble. Okay? Because growing up in Mouse Corner, my grandmother had a pig she eventually slaughtered,
Starting point is 00:12:06 even though I don't eat pork. Used to chase chickens and learn how to pop their necks to eat them, hunt deer, fish. That is and always will be normal to some people. Well, what you going to do in New York, huh? What you going to do in New York? What you going to find in New York? Well, I still got land down south as well, sir. Okay?
Starting point is 00:12:23 I can always get some fresh fish shipped up here. All right? Okay. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Again, the phone line is 800-585-1051.

Starting point is 00:12:49 I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of
Starting point is 00:13:05 the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. 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.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace, have grace for yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

I just want to be a little positive this morning. I got a quote here from Diana Ross. She said, instead of looking at the past,
Starting point is 00:21:04 I put myself in here 20 years and try to look at what I need to do in order to get there and advance. So, you know, I've been following you guys over the past, since this year started. Everything you guys are doing is very positive for the neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:21:19 You know, I'm trying to get my own business going. So, I was curious, Indy, if you were going to do like some type of virtual seminar. Yeah, you know what? People have been asking, and I think we are. We've been trying to have conversations. I know Flippin' New Jersey, he does a couple of conversations a week. But I think we are going to do a virtual.
Starting point is 00:21:38 And so many people have been asking. They're stuck at home and would love to have the information. So I think we are going to do it in the next couple of weeks. For sure. I'm definitely interested in doing that. So drop that link. I'll be ready for it, boss. All right, brother.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Thank you. Hello. Who's this? What's up? This is Rico from Detroit, man. Rico, what up, though? Get it off your chest, bro. Hey, man.
Starting point is 00:22:01 First of all, y'all got to stop telling these people to wear gloves. You know, these gloves, people walk around with these gloves on. It's like having sex with a condom on and then using it with 100 different people. Well, I said if you choose to. I said if you choose to wear gloves. No, they need to stop, period, because they don't know what they're doing. Well, we had a doctor call in. I wouldn't say everybody doesn't know what they're doing, but, you know, some people know what they're doing. Well, we had a doctor call in. He said everybody doesn't know what they're doing,
Starting point is 00:22:25 but, you know, some people know what they're doing when it comes to the gloves, and some people are very careful and cautious and change their gloves when they touch things, and some people, I'm sure, not. But don't say that. Everybody doesn't know what they're using with the gloves. I'm sure people know what they're doing.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Okay, the majority of the people who are using the gloves don't know what the hell they're doing. And also, y'all got to stop telling everybody, you know, use common sense. Like, everybody don't need to be in the house, you know, no sunlight. You need to go outside, you know, as the proof that...
Starting point is 00:23:01 When we say in the house, bro, we don't mean we're going to sit in the house all day, every day, 24-7, 365. Of course we know you need to get out there and get some sun, go walk in the yard or something. We know that. Come on, bro. Yeah, I've been saying that I go outside and go for walks and go to the park.
Starting point is 00:23:17 Right, okay. But you just have to make sure you have your mask on. Okay, that's what I'm saying. The mask. The mask. If you don't have an N95, you're not doing nothing. You know, the mask... You'm saying. The mask. The mask. If you don't have an N95, you're not doing nothing. You know, the mask.
Starting point is 00:23:30 You're just a negative Nancy this morning, though. That is not true, sir. The N95 is the best mask, but that is not true. Just because you don't have an N95, you're not doing nothing. That's not true. The virus is 0.7 micrometers. Oh, boy. Oh, my gosh. Where you getting this information from?
Starting point is 00:23:48 Where you getting this information from? Listen, right now, just cover your face. You don't want to spread it and get it on anybody else. Listen, the CDC, not Charlemagne and V&E, the CDC says that sick or healthy, you can wear a cloth face mask in places where it can be
Starting point is 00:24:04 hard to stay six feet away from people like grocery stores. A cloth face mask can do, sir. Stop. And then ahead of the CDC, you know, you realize. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. I will say the thing. I just want to say one thing about the gloves, though, because in the juice bar, it is a way that you have to use the gloves.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Like, you can't make a juice, then touch the money and then go make another juice. You always have to. We always tell people you have to keep on changing your gloves like they do in a juice bar. You have to use them only when you're making the juices. And then when you do something else, you have to put on a fresh new pair. And it should be the same way. If you go into a store, you have gloves on. You can't go into your car and use those same gloves you had in the supermarket and then go home.
Starting point is 00:24:43 And touch the phone. You have to take them off, yeah. Absolutely. Yeah, all you got to do is watch certain people that worked at certain restaurants or certain places over the years. You know, you'll see them wash their hands over and over and they'll tell you like, oh, you don't wear gloves
Starting point is 00:24:56 because it's like, like you said, it's like wearing a condom and sleeping with different women with the same condom. That's the only part he had right, man. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to be talking about Tyra Banks.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Tyra was trending yesterday, and some people are saying that America's next top model was problematic. We'll give you the details on what this conversation was about online. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good 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 America's Next Top Model. It's about time.
Starting point is 00:25:39 What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, somehow yesterday, Tyra Banks was trending, and that is because of old clips of America's Next Top Model going viral on Twitter. Now, there's a couple of things that were a big deal,
Starting point is 00:26:01 such as Psycho 6 contestant Daniel Evans. Tyra Banks was telling her she needed to get dental surgery to close the gap in her teeth, and this was back in 2006. Here's what that sounded like. So, Danielle, you went to the dentist, but you refused to have your gap closed. Do you really think you can have a cover girl contract with a gap in your mouth?
Starting point is 00:26:21 Yeah, why not? This is all people see. It's easy to be a beautiful cover girl. It's not marketable. Yeah yeah just a little bit it's okay but i don't want it completely closing well i guess she just left the gap wide open for another girl baby i agree so what all right also there was another clip of her talking to yaya and the judges were telling yaya that she was just acting too African and then getting defensive. You have this intensity to prove your sort of Africanness,
Starting point is 00:26:49 and I think that sometimes it's overbearing. It's just too much. It's sort of a layer on top of a layer. In response to trying to prove myself as an African, that's just where I come from. It's very natural to me. And I did not choose that hat for the very specific reason that it's very cliche. The fabric that it's made from is very artificial, very cheap. Fake Kente. I didn't have the time.
Starting point is 00:27:13 I know I'm running on. There's a different way of explaining yourself and being defensive. And you're being very defensive. And it's not attractive. Now, in defensive, Tyra, some people were saying, well, this is how tough it is in the modeling industry. And this was Tyra Banks just reflecting what the standards were in the business at the time that people had to follow to become successful in her career field. And she was trying to make sure that everybody was tough enough to be able to make it. Right. That was 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Like, I don't like y'all. I hate people like y'all. How do y'all wake up one day and say, hey, we're going to go at Tyra Banks for something Tyra did and said publicly years ago? Do you lay that out on the bed the night before and say tomorrow we're going to kill Tyra? You had whole seasons of Top Model, reruns of
Starting point is 00:27:55 Top Model, and you're just going to wake up on a random Taco Tuesday and start going to her. That's whack. Well, Nina Parker wrote on Twitter, and you know her as an E! News correspondent and nightly pop co-host. She said, I remember watching this as a young woman and I felt extremely discouraged to be on TV because of this scene.
Starting point is 00:28:11 I was disappointed in Tyra then. She ended up pressuring this girl to get dental surgery to be marketable. Also, my gap in TV contracts say hi. So that's what she wrote on Twitter. I mean, I do understand. I do understand. But I think Tyra was saying back then in the industry,
Starting point is 00:28:26 they looking for this type of person. And if you want to get in the industry right now, this is what it is. I don't think it's right. You shouldn't have to change any of your features for anybody. But I think that's what she was saying based off her experiences. Man, y'all do realize society was different back then, right?
Starting point is 00:28:40 Culture was totally different. We tolerated a whole lot more than people do now. Imagine if back in the day, you used to do 70 on this highway. Then years later, the speed limit changes to 55 on the same highway. So like any responsible citizen, you start doing 55. Imagine if they start sending you speeding tickets in the mail because you were speeding back
Starting point is 00:28:57 in the day. How stupid would that be? The speed limit was 70. You were doing the speed limit. But I also am not mad at people like Nina Parker and other people who weighed in on Twitter on how that did make them feel at that time. If that was their truth and reaction to a show that a lot of people watched. I don't think they were saying cancel,
Starting point is 00:29:14 Tyra, but they were saying this is how I felt. It bothered them. When I saw that. If they felt that way back in the day, if they felt that way back in the day and they still feel that way now, I totally understand. But you fool who just wake up. But she was saying at that time, this is what it made me feel like way now, I totally understand. But you fool who just wake up. But she was saying at that time, this is what it made me feel like. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Starting point is 00:29:29 That was just a reflection. Nothing at all. All right. I'm going to tell y'all something. Y'all going to get what y'all asked for because it's a lot of people in hip hop culture who used to be a certain way 15, 20 years ago. Some of your favorite rappers now, you don't want them to be revising history.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Imagine they come at Snoop now for stuff that he used to rap about. I get it. But if people felt hurt back then and they bring it back up now, it's the same thing. I mean, it's the same conversation when people had dreads and people made them cut their dreads to get a job. And now you can wear dreads. If people felt that way because somebody said that,
Starting point is 00:29:59 it's not whack that people feel that way. These were things that people said publicly 20 years later, and you're going to try to punish them for it 20 years in the future? Are they punishing them or are they just giving them that feel? It's just stupid. You're writing out old speeding tickets. The speeding limit used to be 70 people. It's 55 now.
Starting point is 00:30:15 But you can't say what people's feelings are. It's stupid. Like, if I had a gap back then, maybe I watched that and I felt a certain way, and I'm like, damn, I feel, like, you know, insecure because I can't get a job. You know what I mean? I get why people would be alright can I move on guys commencement speeches
Starting point is 00:30:30 on YouTube now if you've been paying attention to everything that's going on you know a lot of commencement exercises have been closed and cancelled but fortunately Michelle Obama is Barack and Michelle Obama are doing YouTube's dare class of 2020 original special.
Starting point is 00:30:46 It'll feature other celebrities as well, including K-pop sensations, BTS, Lady Gaga, Condoleezza Rice, Chloe and Halle, Kelly Rowland, Kerry Washington, Alicia Keys. So it should be pretty exciting for people who are graduating. I know it's a difficult time and we're trying to figure out how can we navigate through this, but a lot of people are participating. So if you want to see Dear Class of 2020, that will premiere Saturday, June 6th at 12 p.m. Pacific, 3 p.m. Eastern on YouTube. And Barack did confirm he's also participating in two more commencement exercises. May 16th, he'll take part in a special Show Me Your Walk HBCU edition. That ceremony's at 2 p.m.,
Starting point is 00:31:28 and later on that night, he'll be addressing high school seniors at 8 p.m. Okay, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, when we come back, we got front-page news. What are we talking about? Yes, we'll be giving you updates on what's going on around the United States
Starting point is 00:31:43 as far as coronavirus, who's opening back up, and why can't you find meat at Wendy's anymore. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's... Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Okay. All right, well, let's start with a sheriff investigating a man who wore a KKK hood to the grocery store. This was in California. Some photos emerged online of the man who is wearing
Starting point is 00:32:21 this makeshift hood at a Vons grocery store. And now the sheriff's Department is looking into the matter and will pursue any appropriate criminal charges. A woman photographed the incident. She was only identified as Melissa as she told the publication she was in disbelief at what she had seen.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Well, listen, we have to understand that there's certain people in America who just aren't that bright. So this guy saw on the news that you can't go in the grocery store without your mask, and he grabbed his goddamn mask. Okay? He had it on the back porch. He had his mask.
Starting point is 00:32:52 That's the only one mask he knows. He grabbed his mask, guys. Come on. Alright, now there's new genetic analysis that shows that coronavirus quickly spread around the world. This all started late last year. So for a lot of people I know, they feel like, oh, I was sick in December and January. So they are saying that they took
Starting point is 00:33:11 a look at more than 7,600 patients from around the world. And it showed that this virus has been circulating since late last year and that it must have spread extremely quickly after that first infection. Now they say that they don't know that this is getting more dangerous. As a matter of fact, I've been reading reports saying that they feel like it's weakening. So I know all the time things are changing. Who knows what they're going to say next week? But they're saying the virus reached the West long before it was officially reported. They also found genetic evidence that supports suspicion that the virus was infecting people
Starting point is 00:33:45 in Europe, the U.S., and elsewhere, even before the first official cases were reported in January and February. Yeah, I've been reading those same studies. I think it was Stanford University. They did some antibody tests, and they realized that just a lot more people had it than they originally thought. So they feel like being that a lot more people had it, then it's less fatal than they originally thought.
Starting point is 00:34:03 And it's still hard to see, because even if you have had it, it it's less fatal than they originally thought. And it's still hard to see because even if you have had it, it depends on how it is in your system. Some people have had it and they don't have the antibodies, meaning they could catch it again. They don't know even with the antibodies can you catch it. I know I did an antibody test, me and my kids, because I was sick during February, right, when I came back from Super Bowl. I mean, I was sick, my kids had fever, and I don't have any of the antibodies.
Starting point is 00:34:23 That doesn't mean I didn't have it. That just means it's not in my system. Yeah, I thought I had it too. And that's what's crazy, right? When you take back if you were sick over the past three months, it could have been the flu. It could have just been a regular cold. But nope, you're chalking up the corona. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:36 All right. Now let's talk about Georgia as they have started to reopen under orders from their governor, Brian Kemp. The mayor of Atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms, says that she is not willing to sacrifice her mother, who is a senior, and certainly not my children, all of whom are asthmatic. So her plan is not for these measures and eateries and places like that to be opening in Atlanta. She doesn't want that to happen.
Starting point is 00:34:59 But it has been, right? In Texas, the governor is providing guidance for reopening businesses there. Greg Abbott is allowing certain business sectors to begin reopening in the coming weeks with some stipulations. Also, cosmetology salons, barbershops, hair salons, nail salons, tanning salons, all of those are allowed to open beginning May 8th. Then after that, they'll allow gyms, exercise facilities, non-essential manufacturing plants and businesses operating in office buildings will be allowed to reopen starting May 18th with certain guidelines. Also, malls in Hawaii are reopening on Thursday. Small recreational businesses in Tennessee will reopen on Friday. In Illinois, the governor is unveiling a five-phase
Starting point is 00:35:42 plan to reopen. Also, this will be by region. So they're saying they're breaking things down through phases at different times in four different regions. So Northeast Illinois, North Central Illinois, Central Illinois, and Southern Illinois are all different regions. Business in North Carolina will open on Friday. Phase one is a limited easing of restrictions there. Under that first phase, retail stores will be able to operate at 50% capacity with cleaning and social distancing. Parks and trails can reopen
Starting point is 00:36:10 and the restaurants can continue takeout and delivery with no in-room dining. Hey, man. Well, I've been telling y'all this for the past week. America's economy is an omelet. We the people are the eggs. They're not afraid to break a few eggs and make their goddamn omelet, okay?
Starting point is 00:36:24 So don't get scrambled out there in these streets, all right? That's the reality of the situation. The economy is opening back up, and that doesn't mean we have to be reckless and careless. We just got to adjust to this new normal that we all will be experiencing. It's a world where masks are a necessity, whether it's a KKK mask or an N95 mask. Hand sanitizer will be on you all the time like a smartphone. And social distancing, that's going to be the new normal, baby work uh i think homeschool gonna be the wave until they find a vaccine though but this is the new normal for a lot of us all right and a lot of wendy's locations
Starting point is 00:36:53 are taking burgers off the menu just because of the meat shortage that is hitting them pretty hard impossible burgers though impossible food just trying to step up because of this nationwide meat shortage and they are trying to they are going to start selling their patties and Kroger's in the supermarkets in the U.S. And they're trying to make sure that other people will have access to these vegan burgers. Okay. How do you feel about this meat shortage, Envy?
Starting point is 00:37:15 Where are you going to get your meat from once the meat is all gone off the shelf? I actually stocked up on meat, so I'm pretty good over here with meat. What about yourself? Okay, okay, okay. What kind of meat you got over there? A little bit of everything. What you need? You need me to bring some meat over?
Starting point is 00:37:31 You're supposed to be social distancing, so I don't know why you got so much meat over there. Your son is gay, so what? Do you need me to bring you some meat? Do you need some meat over there? Well, shout out to all the vegetarians and vegans who this is not affecting. This meat shortage is not affecting us at all.
Starting point is 00:37:46 I like plant-based penis. Whoa. You know what? I ain't messing with you. This guy go, you kinky, bro. I was talking about hot dogs and hamburgers and stuff like that. Why you living with hot dogs, King? Should I say queen?
Starting point is 00:38:01 What is going on, guys? You flirting. I can't mess with you. Look, you kinky, man. You really miss me, man. You kinky. All right. That is front page news.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Now, when we come back, we have Michael Jordan's kids joining us. That's right. Jasmine, Jeffrey, and Marcus. Of course, The Last Dance is on ESPN every Sunday. So we're going to kick it with them about their dad. All right. So don't move. I can't wait to get some much-needed insight on MJ from his children.
Starting point is 00:38:26 They probably know some things we don't know. All right. Well, 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. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out
Starting point is 00:38:43 of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 your own country. 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. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
Starting point is 00:38:56 I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullet holes, yeah. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.
Starting point is 00:39:26 That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories
Starting point is 00:40:11 from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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,
Starting point is 00:40:47 learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. 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.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. 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 morning everybody it's dj mv angela e charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we got some special guests on the line with us today. Yes, indeed. We have Jasmine, Jeffrey, and Marcus Jordan. Welcome, guys. What's up? How y'all doing? Michael Jordan's children on
Starting point is 00:41:54 the line right now. Welcome, guys. So how is it watching your dad and reliving this? Because, you know, in some of the footage, we actually see you guys. So how is it reliving some of the things that we're seeing? Yeah, it's definitely been nostalgic, man. It's definitely been, you know, great to reminisce and been texting these two back and forth, catching up on memories. And it's just been cool. It was cool watching it with the rest of the world.
Starting point is 00:42:17 I haven't seen anything early. So seeing everybody's reaction and response has been real cool. Have y'all ever worn any of the sneaker brand ever? Hell no. Hell no. The light-up Skechers. Look, the light-up Skechers. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:33 Oh, they threw them in the garbage? Absolutely. My pops threw them. You couldn't even wear the light-up Skechers? No. When I saw you, I was hurt. I was hurt. How old were you?
Starting point is 00:42:45 I was like six or seven. It was last year she tried to win a lab sketch. How does the Last Dance documentary make you feel about your father's legacy? I'd like to hear from all three of y'all on this. Yeah, for me, I always feel like the foundation that he built can't
Starting point is 00:43:01 be rivaled, you know, just the way that he grew the game of basketball. Obviously, everything that he's done with the Jordan brand and just changing sneaker culture as a whole. And so I feel like it's good for, you know, kids today who didn't really get a chance to watch him play. You know, now you get to hear some of the stories. Even people that got to watch him play, now you're kind of pulling the curtain behind the scenes
Starting point is 00:43:19 and, you know, getting into the weeds of what was really going on during that season. So I think it's really good for people to see. Yeah, I'll pick you back off that. I'll say, I think to Mark's point, it definitely elevated that experience, whether you were there or not. I think it's a great benefit for the young kids and even for us. It's like having an opportunity to see not only what he was going through,
Starting point is 00:43:42 but what the team was going through, what his teammates were going through, what Phil had to kind of put together and manage on a day-to-day basis. So I think all the little details in the story really just elevate the legacy. I think for me, I was so young during the time, I barely remember it. So I'm watching it like everybody else,
Starting point is 00:43:59 like, damn, Dad, you did that? Like, it's incredible and it's inspiring, honestly, to just kind of see it and take it all in with fresh eyes. And it's something that I look forward to sharing, like, obviously with my son as he grows and nurtures and appreciates the game. And then just seeing how the game is today and back then, like, it's almost like our own history lesson.
Starting point is 00:44:19 So I definitely love it. It's definitely exciting to actually see it unfold, but it's way better than I even expected. Well, Jasmine, first of all, I wanna tell Jasmine happy Mother's Day too, by the way, since that's- Thank you. I know it's a weird time.
Starting point is 00:44:32 And the three of you guys all seem very kind of private about your lives. And we see Michael Jordan on the documentary talking about just how being a celebrity sometimes can really suck, like not having your own space. So was that a conscious decision for you guys to say, I don't want to have to be like out there, people, you know, harassing me about things?
Starting point is 00:44:51 Yeah, I think our parents really, you know, obviously they're private people. And I think one of the things that adds to my dad, you know, who he is and the legacy is that mystery behind him. You know, he's not easily accessible. You know, people always talk about if he was to grow up in the social media age, you know, what would it look like?
Starting point is 00:45:09 And I think, honestly, he probably wouldn't even enjoy social media just because he was so, you know, laser focused on his craft and trying to be the best. So, you know, I think obviously that rubbed off on us. My mom, you know, she didn't really let us spend the night out often when we were growing up. You know, we weren't, obviously we weren't in face dance actors, but we weren't in the movies. And so, you know, little things like that.
Starting point is 00:45:30 She just really wanted to shelter us and protect us so that we could kind of have a somewhat normal upbringing. How was he as a dad as far as being a competitor? Because we see on the film that he was like, as far as competing, man, if it came to, you know, chewing gum, he was going to try to blow more bubbles than anybody. Like he was that much of a competitor. How was he as a father? That didn't change. Yeah, he was still competitive.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Yeah, he was still competitive. I think that was one of the biggest things that, you know, one of the misconceptions were that he couldn't, you know, turn that off. And he definitely could turn that off and be, you know, dad, take us to school, you know, making sure we got our work done and did everything we needed to do. But when it was on, it was on, it was, you know, I got a crazy story. Actually, when we was little,
Starting point is 00:46:16 we would play football on our knees, like tackle football on our knees with my dad. Right. And so there was this one time where we were playing in their room and they had these round like end tables at the end of their bed. And so Jeff was going for a touchdown. And I'll never forget it. My dad tackles Jeff into the glass table.
Starting point is 00:46:34 Jeff hits his head into the glass table. I thought he was dead. I mean, you can literally see. Like me and Jasmine were terrified. We were crying. My mom comes in the room. She snaps up. What are y'all doing? And so Jeff, I think you Jasmine were terrified. We were crying. My mom comes in the room. She snaps up. What are y'all doing?
Starting point is 00:46:46 And so, Jeff, I think you had to get, what, 25 stitches? Yeah, about 30 stitches to the head. That just, you know, that's the competitive. And obviously, it was an accident. But, you know, you don't know how to start. First of all, you should have been playing goddamn football with Michael Jordan. I don't think that was your daddy at night. That was a waste of time.
Starting point is 00:47:04 He told you to play football with him. Facts. think that was your daddy at night. That was a waste of time. He was playing football with you. Facts. Facts. Lesson learned. Lesson learned. I saw on the Today Show where you said your father used to go hard on y'all
Starting point is 00:47:11 when y'all would play one-on-one. Oh, yeah. Yeah, definitely. Even though y'all went on to play in college, did that ever discourage you from basketball? Like, man, I don't want to play this game. No, I don't think so. I think it was, if anything, it, you know,
Starting point is 00:47:27 it lit up more of a fire under us to want to get out there and play. You know, I walked on at University of Illinois, and I had scholarship offers before that. You know, I just wanted to play at the highest level. I think we all just wanted to do what we could possibly do at the best level, highest level we could possibly do it at. So definitely didn't discourage us. You know, I think we kind of knew our boundaries, so to speak,
Starting point is 00:47:50 when it came to us playing and really getting competitive. And the court was kind of the peak of that, the crescendo for where that would go down. So, you know, we would train and we would talk about it. We would do all the off-the-court stuff, make sure we watch a lot of film and stuff like that. But everything we did definitely for me and I know for Marcus as well, definitely lit that fire and kept that fuse going for the game.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Now, Jasmine, for you, let me ask you this because you are about to get married soon, right? Are you going to keep your last name or what are you going to do? You're going to hyphenate it because I know you don't want to. It'll be hyphen. So I'll go by Jordan christmas i'm still trying to get used to christmas like christmas but no it'll be that it'll be jordan christmas and then we'll start you know marketing that because i can't wait to see that on the back of the jersey i know crazy but is it true that when you when you when you guys had friends come over if your friends were in Jordan
Starting point is 00:48:46 your dad would throw their sneakers away 100% still to this day there's this funny story about Bow Wow I was good friends we were good friends with Bow Wow when we were younger and Bow Wow I was wearing irises and Converse why because he was doing like Mike
Starting point is 00:49:01 he was one of the only people I knew as a kid with a two-way pager, you know, and I had nobody to text. But, yeah, so he would come to the house wearing irisons or Converse or whatever, and my dad would always make sure to throw them out. All right, we got more with the Jordan family. That's Michael Jordan's kids, Jasmine, Jordan, Jeffrey, Jordan, and Marcus. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Jordan's kids, Michael Jordan's kids, Jasmine, Marcus, and Jeffrey. Charlamagne? Do people argue with you about who's the greatest, MJ or LeBron?
Starting point is 00:49:37 Do y'all personally get into those arguments? Hell yeah. I think, you know, one of the things that I, you know, I'm like a Twitter warrior. You know, I like to pick my fights on Twitter. And, you know, the hardest thing about watching this documentary early was holding on to them tweets when the doc went live. It's so hard. It's so hard.
Starting point is 00:49:57 But, you know, now, yeah, I'm always engaging with people just because, you know, you can't debate it because the eras are so different. The game is so different now that I honestly feel like you can't have a serious debate, but it's always going to happen. Marcus, I see you on Twitter as it's airing right on ESPN. How many times do you have to delete a tweet you were about to send out?
Starting point is 00:50:17 It's funny. My dad's PR people are always monitoring my tweets, trying to make sure I don't get out of hand. So there's been some times where I you know, I tweeted about, I think, LeBron or something, and my dad texted me. He was like, hey, how you doing? He set me up.
Starting point is 00:50:30 He was like, hey, how you doing? I'm like, I'm good, Dad. You know, everything's fine, whatever. He's like, hey, stay off Twitter, man. Stay off LeBron. What about Jeffrey and Jasmine? Do Jeffrey and Jasmine get in those arguments with LeBron? No, I let Marcus handle all of that, man.
Starting point is 00:50:43 I'm not getting into that. I'm not getting into that. I'm not getting into that. Safe and together? Yeah, Marcus definitely handles our lightweight. But, I mean, you know me now. I do support LeBron. I think he's an incredible athlete. But I'm more so having the conversations like,
Starting point is 00:50:56 y'all can't forget Kobe. Like, come on now. Like, you can't just go straight from my pops to LeBron and just ignore that man. I agree. So, you know, that's how I kind of weigh it in. I just make sure, like we've been saying, it's era on era and
Starting point is 00:51:09 can't really compare the two, but we're biased. And at the end of the day, my dad's a dope. I say it like this. Michael Jordan is a god and LeBron is a king. And that's fine. 100%. That coexist. Definitely the greatest right now.
Starting point is 00:51:24 And then LeBron, I feel like I love what he's doing as far as being politically active. So for you guys, that was part of what we learned about Michael Jordan, because that's something people always question about him. Why wasn't he more involved when it comes to politics? So what was it like in that household, and how do you guys feel about that?
Starting point is 00:51:41 I would say it really wasn't spoken about or talked about openly with us. I know for sure my parents were definitely politically active and I think it was, it lended to that privacy that we had growing up. They really just like to keep all those views private. But I think, you know, times change, you know, and they've never been hesitant to change with the times and make sure that their thoughts and their values are relevant to what's going on today. So, you know, whatever it was 30, 20, 30 years ago, I think it is different today. And they learn from the culture and the youth and everything that's been going on just like we are on a day-to-day basis. The only problem I got with y'all is why y'all let your daddy walk around through trash-ass
Starting point is 00:52:32 jeans on all of you? That was a swag fact. Come on, Marcus. Come on now. Daddy jeans is crazy. Hey, man, that's not me. Hey, listen. Come on, Marcus.
Starting point is 00:52:43 He's comfortable, man. You know, he had his heyday. He had his heyday of, you know, setting trends and being the swag guy. Now he's over. He's retired. Do y'all ever say anything about the jeans? Do y'all ever say, yo, dad, come on, them jeans are not it? Oh, all the time. I've tried to hide a couple pairs.
Starting point is 00:53:00 What you going to do? I don't understand. Them jeans are custom made. You can't walk into the store and pick them off. Hold on. So that meme they got of Michael where he says I walked into the tailor and I saw the biggest
Starting point is 00:53:15 jeans I've ever seen in my life and I said wider. That's real? Those jeans are really tailored? That quote ain't real but those jeans are custom made for him. Really? Even his Jordan apparel comes with a Michael Jordan tag in it. They make it out of it.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Wow. Do all of y'all work for Jordan brand? Do y'all all work for the company? Or y'all decided, some of y'all said, nah, you're working for the company. Marcus does it. Yeah, Jeff and I do. I can't work in corporate, man. I need my own free start.
Starting point is 00:53:49 It's your dad. It's not corporate. He got the trophy room. It makes sense to me. Ask Jeff and Dad if it's corporate or not. No corporate, no matter what. I was working for your dad then, guys. It's more working for Nike. It's corporate.
Starting point is 00:54:05 I think what we'd like to see and what what the jordan brand has done over the past 30 years has been incredible yeah they finally had launched a women's line too so yeah jive's been killing it i've been trying to get them to do that for years and and i mean we had the same almost like standard response. It's all about timing. It's about the right team, so on and so forth. And, you know, maybe a couple years ago, I was like, eh, whatever, just release it, release it. But now, seeing where we are today, it makes sense.
Starting point is 00:54:34 We have an incredible women's team now. We have a bunch of contributors and authenticators and athletes that we actually can have support us in an authentic and genuine way. So, it was all about timing, and now is the perfect time. So I'm so excited. Let me ask you all a question. Which one of y'all were the first ones to show your father the Michael Jordan crying face meme? Marcus, probably.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Probably me, man. I'll be taking him off type of creative shit I see. I've never used the meme, but I definitely might have sent it to him. You never used it? I've used it in text messages often. You used it yet? I've used it in text, not on Twitter, but... I have family moments. Yeah. Who have you texted it to? The family? I've sent it to my family. I've sent it to my fiancé, probably.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Ten times. That's funny as hell. If I'm your fiancé and I disappoint you about something... Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I'm not going to be disappointed. I'm going to be disappointed. I'm going to be disappointed. Just say the book. That's funny as hell. If I'm your fiance and I disappoint you about something.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Yeah. Just send a copy. You know what? I just sent them, though, was I don't know if you guys have seen, like, the voiceover doves of people, like, taking the last dance and saying. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I sent him that and I sent the director that and they both just was dying laughing.
Starting point is 00:55:41 They thought it was hilarious. Now, hold on, Marcus. You averaged 12.3 points in college. I think Jeffrey averaged one point. I don't know if that's accurate either. I saw that. Those numbers aren't accurate. I'll take that.
Starting point is 00:55:54 He said Jeffrey averaged one point. Go ahead, guys. We're going with this. Did your father ever get on y'all about that? No. You know, when we were hooping, it was really, you know, we kind of naturally gravitated towards it. It wasn't something he forced on us.
Starting point is 00:56:09 And, you know, if we wanted to ever work out or get in the gym to work on our games, you know, he was always there for us. And so, you know, he would come to our games. He was super supportive. But it wasn't like, y'all ain't scoring enough or you need to be killing and getting killed more often. No, it was just more of a support thing.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Maybe you're not have the ball enough. Yeah, he might have done it. I didn't have that problem. I was shooting the ball. He didn't have that problem. Yeah, if it was a – he would say, you know, be more aggressive or shoot the ball. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:56:37 So you shoot the ball every time you touch it. But other than that, it was all support. It was all love. So there was never a time where y'all felt like, okay, I got to be the next Michael Jordan. I got to follow him. And that's the thing. We was already kind of hard enough on ourselves.
Starting point is 00:56:52 I think he knew that. Like, that's one of the traits we probably definitely got from him. Like, we perfectionists in our own right. So I think he saw that early on, and he was just kind of like, you know, hey, they probably going to work at this thing hard enough. I don't probably, I probably don't need to be on their back as much, but he was never, you know, that was never even a question or a concern for us because I think we were, I know I was, I was definitely already focused and, and,
Starting point is 00:57:17 and push myself as well. That was the thing. We were always going to get somebody's best game. And so whether it was trying to live up to my dad's legacy or whatever, we had to go out and hold our own. It wasn't like he could come on the court and take it. And so we had huge crowds and everybody trying to cross over Michael Jordan's son, dunk on Michael Jordan's son, whatever the case may be. And so we learned at an early age we had to hold our own.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Sure. All right, we got more with the Jordan family. That's Michael Jordan's kids, Jasmine, Jordan, Jeffrey, Jordan, and Marcus. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:57:51 We're still kicking it with Michael Jordan's kids, Jasmine, Marcus, and Jeffrey. Charlamagne? I want to ask all three of y'all, what are the downfalls of being the children of an icon? Yeah, I think Marcus just said one of them, that target. You know, it doesn't stop on the court. It's definitely off the court too. That's going to be constant.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Just going to, you know, people around you wanting to take that spot or take that notoriety. So that's definitely one of the downfalls and, you know, makes it hard to know who to trust, who to mess with growing up. But luckily I had these two to kind of bounce those bad negative experiences off of. For me, it was the fact that you can't control perception.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Everyone's going to have something to say about anything. You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. So it's just understanding that it is what it is. You can't control it. And then making sure that it's clear that we work for everything we have. We don't have any handouts. Don't ever get it twisted. We may work for Nike and Jordan, but we had to earn our jobs and our positions.
Starting point is 00:58:49 You know, Marcus has a trophy room, but he had to go through hell and back to get that store up and running. So, you know, while everybody thinks we're just riding the coattails of being, you know, our pops' kids, in actuality, we work our asses off to do what we're doing in our own right. Yeah, I think for me, just echoing what they said, you know, you always got to deal with assumptions. People assume, hey, I can get this pair of J's, or you can do this for me or that for me or whatever. And so that's something that, you know, over time you got to learn to deal with.
Starting point is 00:59:15 And then Jeff, like Jeff said, you know, that trust factor, you know, not knowing what people's intentions are when they coming around or as you kind of, you know, get older and start meeting new people, you always got to operate under the assumption that people are you know looking for something even if they're you know hanging out with you so you know that's just really the two main downfalls and then you know everything else is on is on the plus side a lot of perks right listen and i try to make sure i don't even hit marcus up to be like no can i get like i don't like asking for favors so it has to be like, you know, can I get, like, I don't like asking for favors, so it has to be like,
Starting point is 00:59:45 and people be like, blow his phone out, man. It's my job, too, man. It's his job. He's the one to go to. I'll definitely hit you in a minute. I'm like, can you ask Marcus? I'm like, man, I don't want to do it.
Starting point is 01:00:00 I just have two more questions for y'all. You know, we're all watching the documentary. What's your opinion of Jerry Krause? From watching the documentary, I think I've definitely learned a little bit more about, you know, what was going on behind closed doors. But I would say, you know, obviously somebody had to put that team together and he did an unbelievable
Starting point is 01:00:19 job putting that team together. You know, it just sounds like, like, you know, normal relationship where things start to fall apart. Agendas are a little bit different from everybody else. If that cohesion is not there and you don't have people like Phil
Starting point is 01:00:35 to keep those things in check, that's how it's going to spiral out. They probably did miss a couple more years and a couple more titles and opportunities, but, you know, you can't really say that that's on Jerry Krause's behalf because, you know, it's a team thing, it's a team game,
Starting point is 01:00:52 and everybody got to make their own decisions, so I would say great GM, but, you know, obviously there's some, there were some factors that couldn't keep the team together. He couldn't get out of his own way, man, you know, some people want, you know, credit, I think there's a quote coming in the doc where, you know, team together. He couldn't get out of his own way, man. Some people want credit. I think there's a quote coming in the doc where
Starting point is 01:01:07 Jerry says, organizations win championships. My dad's belief was players win championships. Obviously, the organization is a huge part of it. They got to put the team together. He's not trying to diminish the role that the organization plays, but the organization can't celebrate if the players don't win the game.
Starting point is 01:01:23 Maybe y'all can give us a little insight into a relationship that I'm super intrigued by, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Because, you know, we always saw Kobe and said Kobe mimicked Michael's game. But now to know that Michael was actually coaching him in a way, every step of the way, it's like, wow. So did y'all know about that relationship? Yeah. I remember just being in his office and the phone rang. away it's like wow so so so y'all know about that relationship yeah there's time i would remember just being in his office and the phone rang and it's and it's kobe like you know more more times
Starting point is 01:01:51 than not it was it was kobe calling um and so i you know i think obviously the past year um has given me even even me a little bit more insight as to how deep that relationship was but um but yeah i mean they always had that friendship. And I guess once you get to a certain level, there's not that many other people you can connect to or talk to about certain things in terms of being great at what you do and being a master of your craft. So it makes a lot of sense.
Starting point is 01:02:21 And obviously it's been a rough year not only for us, for his family, but all around for the world. That's just a huge loss. And, you know, I think my dad was feeling that for sure. It has been feeling that for sure. You know, I've gotten older and trying to deal with trophy room. You know, I would go to my dad's house a lot. He lives two hours from me.
Starting point is 01:02:42 And so, you know, there would be times where I was down there working on the business plan and stuff. And, you know, there would be times where I was down there working on the business plan and stuff. And, and, you know, Kobe would text him and just ask him little things and just little stuff. And so you would get a glimpse into, you know, them actually being friends where, you know, early on it wasn't necessarily like that. And so it's just, man, I, you know, that situation was super tough and it had me just, you know,
Starting point is 01:03:01 questioning my own mortality. And like, if that happens to Kobe and Gigi and everybody else in that chopper it's like you know it's just you can't take life for granted man it was so sad it definitely took a lot on my dad when that happened and I think as soon as you know the memorial took place he texted me right after and was just like I love you like I'm proud to be a girl dad you you make me you know happy to be your father every single day and that it came from Kobe so while my father was giving him all you know the knowledge and the sense and everything he needed on the court I think Kobe
Starting point is 01:03:29 played a big role into who he is as a father as well and how he groomed his relationship with his daughters and how my father has groomed his relationship with me so it's definitely been something I get to reap the benefit of um and you know we're grateful for that because it's just it's crazy to think of like Marcus said you can be here today gone tomorrow but he's left so many nuggets within my father my father did a lot for him so it's been a beautiful thing to see come full circle beautiful well thank you guys one last one last question when y'all around the dinner table eating as a family does your father have any regrets does he say man and i would say a couple more years want a couple more rings like is there any regrets you think your father has about basketball yeah no i think uh
Starting point is 01:04:10 there's uh there's a moment in the doc where he's you know they're talking about you know did his competitiveness get in the way of the relationships with his teammates and uh you know i don't think that he regrets the way i know he doesn't regret the way he handled his teammates. It's just that, you know, there's a price to, to being great, you know? And I think that he acknowledges that and, you know, he strives for greatness. You know, I think we've had debates Jeff and my dad about like his Jordan deal and, you know, the base get heated because we're coming from a different perspective,
Starting point is 01:04:41 right? We're looking at it like as where it is now. And, you know, he's obviously got the insight of what the brand, where the brand has come from since 84. And so obviously us looking at it from our perspective, we're like, well, why don't you do this? Or you should sign this or take a bigger cut of Nike or this, that, and the third. But, you know, he obviously, he brings us back down to earth
Starting point is 01:05:00 because he puts us through, he tells us the full story on how it's gotten to where it is today. And, you know, that stuff kind of really, it helps us learn and educate us so that when we, you know, move up in the ranks of business, you know, we kind of take those nuggets and learn from them. And round of applause to Grandma, man. Y'all would not be having no joy, no brand, nothing, no Nike, nothing if it wasn't for Grandma.
Starting point is 01:05:22 You got to take those meetings, man. You got to take those meetings. Thank you so much for checking in, too. One more question. Around the holidays, do you guys ever still go outside and play basketball? Does your fiancé participate? Do y'all ever have these little pickup games
Starting point is 01:05:37 that still get competitive? No. Maybe some scatagories. We'll play some scatagories. We'll play some scatagories. You know, phase 10. I think that's where the competition lies. Pop didn't even put a gym in the new house.
Starting point is 01:05:53 A basketball. There's no court in his house. He's like, it's over, over. It's a wrap. He can build a golf course. He's retiring. Well, thank you guys for checking in, Jazz and Jeff. Thank you so much. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:06:12 This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So Tekashi went on Instagram to deliver some news to you. He is going to be on Instagram Live this Friday afternoon. He said, let's get this party started. Don't get scared now. Are y'all going to tune in? Nope. Nah.
Starting point is 01:06:34 I'm growing, though. I mean, them kids, I'm sure, will be all over it. But, you know, I'm a 41-year-old grown-ass man. I won't be there for that party. What about you? You tuning in? Watching all kinds of things. You know what?
Starting point is 01:06:45 If I'm on there, I might go see what he's talking about just to see. Why not? I hope he's chilling. I feel like I'm going to end up reporting on it on Monday anyway. I might as well watch it while it happens. That is true. Haven't we heard him talk enough? All that talking is we've got a bunch of people locked up in jail right now.
Starting point is 01:07:00 He might be changed. I doubt it. A changed individual. I doubt it. I doubt it. I hope he is. All right, now a video of Mike Tyson training has gone viral. And, you know, he told T.I. that he's thinking about getting back in the ring. He wants to do it.
Starting point is 01:07:16 Here's what he said just as a refresher on Expeditious League. My body's really jacked up. It's really sore from hitting the mitt. But I've been working out. I've been trying to get in the ring. I think I'm going to box some exhibitions to get in shape. I want to go to the gym and get in shape to be able to box three or four round exhibitions for some charities and stuff.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Take some money and help some homeless and some drug-affected motherfuckers, you know? Yeah. Just like me. I'd like to see that. I'd like to see Mike doing some exhibition boxing matches, three, four rounds for charity. Especially after that little video he put up on Instagram the other day. Mike's still quick.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Mike's still got power. It'd be nice to see Mike in the ring at 53. I wouldn't mind that for nostalgia purposes. Yeah, I would like to see that too. And everybody kind of feels impressed now after watching his little sparring session. So I think that could really be something great. And he said it would be for charity.
Starting point is 01:08:06 All right, 50 Cent talks about how he was the first person to get an iPod placement in his video. He said he had a meeting with Steve Jobs and negotiated that deal himself. Listen to this. I met Steve Jobs in Jimmy Alvian's office. First time I sat there, I went in there 10 minutes before I told him, let me see that.
Starting point is 01:08:23 They gave it to me. I said, what is it called? It's called an iPod? You think you can sell an iPod? I can sell an iPod. In that 10 minutes that I sat there, I went in there 10 minutes before I told him, let me see that. They gave it to me. I said, what is it called? Is it called an iPod? Do you think you can sell an iPod? I can sell an iPod. In that 10 minutes that I sat there, I got him to give me $150,000. Right there. As soon as we sat in there, because the first time Apple did product placement
Starting point is 01:08:36 in anything, any music video, was P-I-N-P. $150,000 he gave me. Yeah, say what you want about 50, but you got to say he's a smart individual, boy. He knows how to keep that money coming in. That's right. Yes. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:48 And another thing that everybody's talking about when it comes to 50 Cent is he did an interview with Van Lathan. And Van Lathan asked about his relationship with his son, Marquise. Can that ever be mended? And here's how 50 Cent responded. It is sad. It's a sad situation, right? And when you pray for success, you don't necessarily pray for the things that come with it. And there's no such thing as success without jealousy, without envy or entitlement. Entitlement is growing in someone you love and
Starting point is 01:09:13 the scariest part is mom developed an entitlement that cannot be met. So while being a privileged child, he feels deprived. You see what I'm saying? And I don't have an issue with paying the support. I noticed over the years I get developed because I've been on his mom for a long time. But it's not his mother, it's him. Like, I'm going places where he was at and he left. Fifth, you love your son? I used to. You ask yourself how long, a complicated question would say,
Starting point is 01:09:34 how long can you love something that don't love you back? That's actually a great question. How long do you love something that doesn't love you back? But I don't think that the son doesn't love his father. I think the son absolutely does love his father, and I think 50 loves his son. How can you look at a person and see yourself? They literally look like each other.
Starting point is 01:09:54 How can you see yourself and not love that individual? They have to love each other. It's just complicated right now. It's years of them going back and forth, and years, I'm sure, and forth and years I'm sure of not really having conversations and communicating.
Starting point is 01:10:08 But, you know, that's still his son. You know, that's still his dad. So at one point, they're going to have to talk. They're going to have to speak. They're going to have to squash it out just a matter of when.
Starting point is 01:10:14 You know, it's interesting. I'm going to tell you when it's going to be. I feel like a lot of the dynamics in the relationship on power between Ghost and his son, I feel like a lot of that, I don't know. I feel like 50 somehow put that in the script. Cause I know a lot of things that happened
Starting point is 01:10:30 to him in real life he has in that power script. And so I kind of feel like some of those dynamics were there. You know, when 50 and his son are going to reconcile when, or if his son ever gets a baby mother, if his son ever gets a baby mother. If his son ever gets a baby mother and his son goes through some of those same experiences and, you know, you have the mother of your child, you know, telling you things about your father that kind of discouraged the child to be around the father, that's when he's going to understand
Starting point is 01:10:57 what his father went through a little bit better. And that's when they'll probably reconcile. I've seen that a million times. But, you know, a lot of times it is hard. You don't even know the effect of what you do as an adult has on a kid, on a child. And sometimes it's not just about financially providing, but it's other things that
Starting point is 01:11:14 are important. And you don't even realize and a child doesn't realize the effects even as they get older. And a parent might not even realize what their kid picks up on. There's a lot of complicated things at play here. But I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Yee, for those rumors.
Starting point is 01:11:30 Now, don't forget, next hour, ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice you should get on the lines right now. But next, donkey of the day. Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to? I need Trump in the White House to come in front of the congregation. Would you like to have a little word with him, please? All right, we'll get into that next.
Starting point is 01:11:46 Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy for The General Insurance.
Starting point is 01:11:55 The last thing you want to worry about in these trying times is car insurance. That's why The General has got your back. They'll make sure you're protected. Give them a call at 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com.
Starting point is 01:12:07 Some restrictions apply. Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States. Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out. He's fired. He's fired!
Starting point is 01:12:28 Trump, please step up to the congregation. Yes, you are a dog. Love, doubt, trial. When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists.
Starting point is 01:12:42 He's a jackass. Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, May 6th goes to the celebrity in chief, Mr. Dope 45, Donald J. Trump. I don't know what kind of student the 45th president of the United States of America was, but I guarantee in school, he hated science. He didn't like physics, chemistry, biology, nothing. Formal sciences, natural sciences, social sciences. He didn't like God bodies in New York asking what's the science. Donald J. Trump hates science and his disdain for science is showing once again, because yesterday the president announced that he will be winding down the White House coronavirus task force.
Starting point is 01:13:17 Yep. Let's go to CNN for the report, please. The doctor saying that there might be a recurrence of coronavirus in the fall. Can you just explain why is now the time to wind down that task force? Because we can't keep our country closed for the next five years. You could say there might be a recurrence and there might be and most doctors or some doctors say that it will happen and it'll be a flame and we're gonna put the flame out. We've learned a lot. You see what it does, especially for people over a certain age. And we're saying that people that are over 60, 65, but over 60, we're even saying stay back for a while. At the same time with young children and children, we'd like to see the schools open early next season and on time. But don't you want your
Starting point is 01:14:02 advisors to keep looking at this closely the way you are looking at it very closely? I'm viewing our great citizens of this country as warriors. And yes, will some people be affected? Yes. Will some people be affected badly? Yes. But we have to get our country open. Now, this news is coming out as the rate of the country's daily new coronavirus cases and reported deaths are plateauing, according to the John Hopkins University Coronavirus Research Center. And also, it's a model created by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington that projects a doubling of U.S. deaths to 134,000 by August 4th. Okay, that's an increased daily death toll.
Starting point is 01:14:42 All while governors urged on by Trump relaxed social distancing measures. Now, who out there has ever had chlamydia? Raise your hands. No volunteers? Okay, never mind chlamydia. Who out there has ever had some type of bacterial infection? Maybe you had jock itch once. Pink eye?
Starting point is 01:14:57 I think pink eye does count. Why are you talking about my jock itch, boo? Yes, I did have jock itch when I used to ride my motorcycle. I don't know if jockock Edge is a bacterial infection. I think pink eye is, okay? But the moral of the story is whether it's pink eye, syphilis, meningitis, okay, you don't have to tell us what it was. But if you've ever had a bacterial infection, then you know when you have a bacterial infection. The doctor always says if you're taking antibiotics, don't stop taking them until the pill vial is empty, even if you feel better.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Now, some doctors have pushed back on that and said taking drugs when you aren't sick anymore simply gives the hordes of bacteria in and on your body more incentive to evolve to evade the drug. So the next time you have an infection, they may not work. Guess what? My whole life, if I have a problem and there's a solution to that problem, if I'm using said solution and it makes the problem go away, but I still have more of the solution, I'm going to keep that solution around until I know without a shadow of a doubt that the problem is in my rear view, period. As far as I'm concerned, we are still in the midst of a global pandemic, a pandemic that was fueled by the arrogance and ego of Donald J. Trump, the same person who eliminated the job of coordinating a national pandemic response.
Starting point is 01:16:03 That job is now being done by Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, the same president who told us back in February that Democrats were politicizing the deadly coronavirus and claimed that the outbreak is their new hoax. This is the same person who is now winding down the coronavirus task force, and I have to ask one simple question. Why? At a time like this, when Trump is anxious to reopen the country
Starting point is 01:16:23 and pressure is causing governors to reopen, you know, reopen the country when his administration's internal model has projected to rise up to 3000 daily deaths. Isn't this the time to keep the coronavirus task force together simply because you don't know what's going to happen? Right. Shouldn't you have the experts on your side? The problem with Trump isn't just what he doesn't know. It's what he isn't willing to learn. OK, he should have learned from his past mistakes on how he handled this situation. Every poor decision he made has led us to this point. And now he's about to send the country on another dummy mission. OK, listen, America, your government doesn't care about you or not all of you. OK, let's go back to what he said. Let's play that little part of the clip, please. You see what it does, especially for people over a certain
Starting point is 01:17:08 age, and we're saying that people that are over 60, 65, but over 60 were even saying, stay back for a while. At the same time, with young children and children, we'd like to see the schools open early next season. Mr. President, how can you say that
Starting point is 01:17:24 you see what it does to people over a certain age, right? People 60 and up. But then say you want to see the schools open early next season. You do realize kids can be asymptomatic and bring the disease home to their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, all over the age of 60. I mean, it's just some common sense, okay? But once again, America, your president and this administration doesn't give a damn about you. We the people are eggs, and the economy is an omelet. And if a few eggs get broken to make the omelet, fine, okay?
Starting point is 01:17:53 It's majority of the darker color eggs anyway. The white eggs are cool, right? Okay, good. What are you talking about, Charlemagne? Oh, Uncle Char is rambling again. Dark eggs, brown eggs, white eggs. I'm talking about the fact that the CDC released data showing coronavirus is impacting black people the worst. Oh yes, 52% of diagnoses and 58% of coronavirus deaths
Starting point is 01:18:14 nationally are black. You have to know they really don't give a damn, okay? Not at all. Those numbers excite them, all right? So my people, my people, please don't be reckless. Don't be careless. Don't be careless. OK, just because Donald Trump and the White House are winding down the coronavirus task force, don't you wind down on protecting yourself. OK, make sure you got your mask, your hand sanitizer. Make sure you're washing your hands. Make sure you're washing your ass, social distancing, just doing what you have to do to protect
Starting point is 01:18:48 yourself, because if you haven't learned yet, this country will never protect you. And by you, I mean your black ass. Please give Donald J. Trump the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw! Hee-haw!
Starting point is 01:19:04 Matter of fact, let Kathy Griffin give Donald Trump the biggest hee-haw? Hee-haw! Hee-haw! Matter of fact, let Kathy Griffin give Donald Trump the biggest hee-haw. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw! Hee-haw! Well, thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed. Up next, Ask Yee.
Starting point is 01:19:20 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, hit Yee right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice?
Starting point is 01:19:36 Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Yee. Keep it real. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Ask Yee. morning everybody is DJ envy Angela ye Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club good morning it's time for ask ye hello who's this Julio what's up man what's your question for you moved back in with my mom. She was having some health issues. So we decided to go back and help her out for a while.
Starting point is 01:20:06 But now, my girlfriend says she doesn't want to have sex because it's disrespectful. And like, you know, we're grown. My mom knows. She doesn't mind. She doesn't care, really. But she doesn't want to do it now. Alright, so first of all, that's very honorable
Starting point is 01:20:21 of your girlfriend. She doesn't want to have sex in your mother's, in the house with your mom there, right? Right. And so that is very respectful of her. I just want to say that. And I can understand because you're nervous. You don't want your mom to walk. She doesn't want your mom to walk in or hear anything.
Starting point is 01:20:37 And so that to her is just making her feel a little tense, correct? Correct. But we're in different parts of the house. My mom's usually up front. We're in the back. She doesn't need to come back here. She has a hard time getting around walking. Are you guys at least making out and stuff?
Starting point is 01:20:54 No, nothing. It's been about two and a half, three months. Okay. Well, I would start with that. I would start with being like, okay, we don't have to have sex, but can we at least be affectionate and physical with each other so that she can get more comfortable with that and kind of more ease into it?
Starting point is 01:21:10 Can you start with just doing those things? It doesn't have to jump right into sex. No, we can start, but she doesn't want to even get into that because she can just kind of leave into it, so she just cuts everything off. Does your mom ever leave and go anywhere, like, you know, to another relative's house?
Starting point is 01:21:27 No. She doesn't really get around too much. She has really bad needs. But, you know, she just kind of, you know, sits at the house. What to do at this point? It's starting to get rough. It's been like two and a half, three months. So you live in the house.
Starting point is 01:21:42 You don't have another place you can go. You moved in to help your mom out, but do you have your own place? No, we gave up our apartment to move back in Alvarado. Is this a temporary move? Yeah, yeah. Just get her through. She's got some surgeries coming up. We don't want her to be alone.
Starting point is 01:21:59 Okay, no, and that's commendable of you guys. And sometimes, you know, when it comes to family, you do have to make sacrifices. At the end of the day, if somebody is not comfortable having sex in a certain situation, you cannot pressure them or force them into doing it. All you can do is respect that. And until you guys have your own space or maybe when your mom is having her surgery and she's not in the house, maybe things will change at that time. But I do think, you know, it makes it worse when you're kind of hounding somebody about not having sex. So all you can do is try to show your affection in other ways right now. And then perhaps she'll be more comfortable at some point.
Starting point is 01:22:37 Or maybe if your mom is like you said, she goes outside sometimes or maybe at night when she's asleep, she'll change her mind. But I do feel like when somebody kind of bothers you about it, it becomes a topic of dissension and it can cause more stress. That's one thing I try not to do is bugger about it. I've brought it up probably once since it's been going on. Are you guys at least cuddling at night? Yeah, we cuddle, we hug, we do things like that,
Starting point is 01:22:55 but that's pretty much where it ends. All right. I just want to say this is going to be amazing when you finally do do it. I can guarantee you you won't last long. But you can just have that to look forward to now. And you
Starting point is 01:23:08 guys can just still have a good time together. And, you know, like I said, you can't really pressure her to do something if she's not into it. But just know that at least y'all are together during this time. And at least you guys are affectionate with each other. And you can have that right now. A lot of people don't even have that much. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:23:24 Alright, Hooli. Alright, good luck, brother. Ask Yee, 800-585-1051. If you need some relationship advice, call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee.
Starting point is 01:23:41 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hi, it's Jackie. What's your question for Yee? Well, my question is, my boyfriend popped the question to me.
Starting point is 01:23:56 We have been together for three years, and he finally popped the question to me to marry him. However, prior to that, we did go through a breakup for a couple of months, but moving forward in the past couple of months, I've confronted him about girls, his inbox, and you know, the proof was right in front of me. So I did confront him about it. And instead of him admitting, he contains the lie. I have to literally pull the truth out of him. Even when I have all of the facts in front of me, he still doesn't admit to anything. This has happened a few times.
Starting point is 01:24:30 And I'm just worried about moving forward in our relationship. Should this be something I'm worried about? I just don't want the lies to get bigger and bigger. I would just prefer him just to be honest with me. And no matter if it's going to hurt me or not, I just, you know, I give him opportunities to be honest. He just doesn't want to. So I don't really know what to do, if I should move forward in our me or not. I just, you know, I gave him opportunities to be honest. He, he just doesn't want to. So I don't really know what to do, if I should move forward in our relationship or not. Is this something I should be worried about? Well, Jackie, first of all, it's never fun being an attorney in your own relationship and having to question somebody and cross examine them and catch them out there because now you're
Starting point is 01:25:00 always going to be looking for evidence to catch him in because you know, he's not a truthful person. Right. And the question isn't just tell me the truth. The question is, why are you still continuing to do things that, you know, are jeopardizing our relationship? It's both of those things. You're doing these things and then you're getting caught and lying about them. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And and when you say you finally he finally proposed, was this something that you had been pressuring him to do? No, it's just something, you know, we did talk about in the past and we strayed away from it. And then he finally decided, you know, he asked me, you know, I didn't pressure him about it. We did have conversations about it, but, you know, he did pop the question to me.
Starting point is 01:25:40 So I was shocked when he did ask me to marry him. But, you know, it was a mutual decision. Jackie, do you want to be married to somebody who is lying and inboxing other women who you have to check up on, who you have to cross examine? I don't. It doesn't make me feel secure. You know, it hurts when I have all of the facts and he just lies. I mean, even when the truth is in front of him, he'll just say, well, you already seen it. So what do I have to say anything for? And it hurts. So I don't really know, you know, what to do.
Starting point is 01:26:17 And even, you know, after the blow up and everything, he still finds a way to turn it around on me. And I don't know. Jackie, you do know what to do. Okay. Right? You do know. Because I know you didn't think you were calling. I was going to say, well, you should give him another chance.
Starting point is 01:26:39 Well, I didn't want to seem like I'm being petty. You think it's petty? You think it's petty that he's deceiving you and that he's lying to you and that he's trying to reach out to other women and probably cheating? That is cheating. Well, I guess because we did go through a breakup when he was doing it. I didn't want to hold it against him. I just wanted him to say, well, it is something that I did when we weren't talking versus. Okay. So he's not doing this now. This is all from the past.
Starting point is 01:27:11 Yes. Okay. I'm thinking that he's doing this now. No, he's done it in the past, but it's something that I've found and discovered. And then when I bring it up to him, even with the facts, he just lies about it versus just saying it was something that he did while we were you know weren't talking or whatever well Jackie take your time you don't have to get married anytime soon and until he can prove to you that he is an adult and that he can be honest with you until you feel comfortable knowing that you can trust the person who's supposed to be your best friend your soulmate until you feel comfortable knowing that you can trust the person who's supposed to be your best friend, your soulmate, until you feel like you can trust him, then there's no reason for you to get married. Now that's not to say that he can't earn that trust, but it is something that
Starting point is 01:27:55 he does have to earn from you. And he does have to understand that he has to be able to communicate with you and tell you the truth so that you're secure and comfortable. Right. Yeah. You're right. Okay. All right. Take your time, Jackie. Do what's best for you. Thank you so much, Yee. No problem. All right. Thank you. Good luck, Mama. Ask Yee.
Starting point is 01:28:15 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, you can hit Yee. Now, Yee, we got rumors on the way? Well, since we're talking relationships, let's talk about something that Vanessa Bryant discovered and opened on her birthday. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 01:28:31 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report.
Starting point is 01:28:41 Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. So Carmelo Anthony was on the Uninterrupted podcast, and one of the things that he discussed was hitting rock bottom. Now here's what he had to say. I go from New York, making an all-star game, averaging 23,
Starting point is 01:28:59 dealing with everything that I was dealing with, getting traded, going to OKC, actually really liking it, didn't work out for whatever reason, to going to Houston the following year, to playing nine games, the first time I've ever come off the bench, leading to having a year off. I don't think nobody will understand what I went through. I hit rock bottom emotionally, and I had to build myself back up. This season will always be the highlight, one of the highlight chapters of any story that I've ever done.
Starting point is 01:29:32 That is a big change in his career. It is. I still want to see, I mean, Portland is a good team, but they weren't playing well before the coronavirus hit, but I would love to see, you know, Melo end his career with a contender, because Melo clearly got another two years left in him, right? Two, three years easy, right?
Starting point is 01:29:48 And, you know, Melo's one of my favorite players. I just love what he tried to do for New York. I just love him as a player and as a person. So I want to see him get a chance to get a ring. You know, I want to see him, like you said, playing with a team that's at least in the playoffs and can take it a little bit in the playoffs. Yeah, and Portland is good.
Starting point is 01:30:03 I just don't know why they haven't been able to get it together this year. But, you know, Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, like, them brothers ball. So hopefully they get it together. All right, now let's talk about the baby. There are some new allegations against him. According to law enforcement sources, a driver in Vegas is saying he got a call to pick up the baby back in November. They got into the back of the Mercedes Sprinter van,
Starting point is 01:30:24 and then after a few stops, the baby and his friends started smoking. The driver told them no. And that's when, according to the driver, he says that the baby and his friends started cursing him out, threatened him. When they got to the hard rock, the driver told his passengers it was time to pay. That's when, according to the driver, he says the baby punched him in the back of the head and said, you ain't the boss. Now, according to the baby, he says this is 100 percent false. Y'all stay positive. The devil gonna always try you when you're doing good. The baby's attorney says it's a 100 percent false accusation, which suspiciously pops up in February regarding an alleged incident in November. We can smell another attempted money grab. Yeah. I mean, listen, you don't know if it's true or not, but you know, the baby has kind of put himself in a position where people, people look at him as a hothead and they know that he puts hands on people.
Starting point is 01:31:12 So we've heard these stories before. Remember how Fat Joe said people would just jump out at him and try him or people would say that Fat Joe hit him when he didn't even touch them just because they know that they could get a payday. It could be kind of the same situation now with the baby. All right. Vanessa Bryant, she was able to open this one last letter payday. It could be kind of the same situation now with the baby. All right, Vanessa Bryant, she was able to open this one last letter from Kobe. It was on her birthday. She waited until her birthday to actually open this envelope. She said, yesterday I found an envelope labeled
Starting point is 01:31:35 to the love of my life from Tupapi. I waited to open one more letter on my birthday. It gave me something to look forward to today. And she also of course in her IG caption said, missing the love of my life and my sweet little mamacita, my fellow tourists, grateful to wake up to my three
Starting point is 01:31:54 sweet girls today. Wish we were all together. Amen. Praise up for the Bryant family always. Lord have mercy. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, bro. My God, man. Sheesh. Yeah, all right.
Starting point is 01:32:07 And Kaya is challenging Trina to an Instagram battle. What do you mean Instagram battle? What kind of Instagram battle? You know, like, I guess one of these verses. Here's what Kaya said. Who want to try me like that? Who? Trina.
Starting point is 01:32:25 She can't turn this all up. You want to have a hit battle? Oh, look, I got 285 hits to put on your ass. Kaya got that many joints? Not that I know of. Not no 285. Now, I will say Kaya has,
Starting point is 01:32:41 she has two in a pot. If this was a spades hand, she got two in a potable that I was a spades hand, she got two in a possible that I know about. She got my neck, my back, which we all know, right? She can't go bored.
Starting point is 01:32:50 Now, now listen, she says she got 285. I may not be familiar with Kaya's music, even though I am a, a born and raised down South, but Kaya got my neck,
Starting point is 01:32:59 my back. She got K-Wing with it. And the possible is don't trust no n****s. But the only reason I count that as a possible is because that's over, I think that's over an old Lil Jon song. You never the possible is Don't Trust No N****s. But the only reason I count that as a possible is because that's over, I think that's over an old Lil Jon song.
Starting point is 01:33:07 You never heard that? Don't Trust No N****s. Women do love that record, but I don't know if that counts. I guess she could play it. Yeah, she could definitely play that. So, okay, with all that said and done against Trina. Nah, she don't got nothing on Trina. Nah, nah, nah, she don't got nothing on Trina.
Starting point is 01:33:25 Nah, nah, she don't got nothing on Trina. Nah, she don't got nothing on Trina. Nah, nah, nah, she don't got nothing on Trina. Nah, nah, she don't got nothing on Trina. Courtney Kardashian, the reason why Scott Disick went to rehab is because she gave him an ultimatum after she spoke with Sofia Richie, who is Scott Disick's girlfriend. So I guess, you know, there's some things that he's been dealing with and suffering from for many years because of his mother passing
Starting point is 01:33:43 and then the death of his father three months later so that's what actually went on behind the scenes you know I guess he was having some issues and Nicole Richie became extremely concerned with the choices he was making and how out of control he became very quickly she then tipped off Kourtney Kardashian about his condition because she didn't know what else to do. And that's when he was issued that ultimatum. Why y'all got me Googling Kaya songs on a beautiful Wednesday morning? Come on now. Trying to see if Kaya got 285. You know a lot of records up here.
Starting point is 01:34:15 No, no, no, 285. Stop it. I thought it was the name of the song. Yeah, she did say 285. I know, but I'm just saying. She got a lot of records up here, though. My neck neck my back Came weighing with it

Starting point is 01:35:03 It says zero number one hits, zero top ten hits, two songs. That's what it says. I don't know. I just know them three. I just know them three from the clubs back in the day. My neck, my back, K-Wing, and don't trust no... Them three go hard. But I don't know if that's enough for a versus battle. And that is your rumor report.
Starting point is 01:35:19 Listen, here's the thing. Everybody can't do a versus battle. Some of y'all got to do what Mike Tyson was talking about. Remember when Mike Tyson said he just want to do some exhibition matches and do two, three rounds? Yes. Some of y'all got to do what Mike Tyson was talking about. Remember when Mike Tyson said he just want to do some exhibition matches and do two, three rounds? Yes. Some of y'all got to do two, three rounds, man. Yeah, whatever happened with the Bone Thugs battle, Bone Thugs and 3-6 Mafia? I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:35:36 I didn't hear about it. I didn't hear anything about it either. Let me see. Let me look it up. Damn it, man. All right. Oh, it was postponed, guys. Oh, it was postponed. Okay. Damn it, man. All right. Oh, it was postponed, guys. Oh, it was postponed. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:35:48 Cool. It was a reschedule for last week, Thursday, and it has been postponed. All right. Well, shout out to Revolt. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. It's Meek Mill's birthday, so let's get some Meek Mill up on the mix. It's going to be rebranded as a versus battle. Oh, it is?
Starting point is 01:36:04 Oh, okay. All right. Well, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's going to be rebranded as a versus battle. Oh, it is? Yeah. Oh, okay. All right. Well, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:36:17 Now, on the line right now, we have Attorney Lee Merritt. Now, he is the attorney for Ahmaud Arbery. That's the gentleman that was killed as he was taking a jog by his neighbors. Good morning. Lee, what's up, brother? Hey, what's up, G? Man, I'm blessed black and highly favored, man. I want you to tell us what's happening with this. And correct me if I'm mispronouncing the brother's name.
Starting point is 01:36:37 Ahmaud Arbery? That's it, Ahmaud Arbery. And to be clear, I'm a civil rights attorney. I represent the family of Ahmaud Arbery. And we're trying to get the legal apparatus of South Georgia to arrest the men responsible for his murder and to bring the appropriate hate crime charges. We just got involved with this family maybe a week ago. And what we learned, what the family was initially told by law enforcement was that Ahmaud Arbery was in the midst of a burglary, was actually burglarizing the home when the homeowner caught him and used deadly force, which would have been completely justifiable under the law. That was the story the family was told. Obviously, the video came out yesterday.
Starting point is 01:37:19 He was nowhere near anyone's habitat. He was jogging down the street. And they already created an alternative narrative where these were people who they suspected him of burglarizing homes sometime in the past. And as a result, they were trying to perform a citizen's arrest. What you really had was a lynch mob who were going after the young man because they imputed criminality on him. And they are still free today.
Starting point is 01:37:45 So there's a number of things that we're asking people to do, but that's where we are with the story right now. Let's say those guys' names, the McMichaels. What's their name? And I want to say three names because people have been focusing on two people. But you have a son and a father, Gregory McMichael, who's a former district attorney investigator, a 30-year lawman in South Georgia. His son, Travis McMichael, who's a former district attorney investigator, 30-year lawman in South Georgia.
Starting point is 01:38:05 His son, Travis McMichael, who's not known for doing anything of significance. And then there's Brian Williams. Brian Williams. I believe it was the person who captured the video. He was actively participating in hunting down a bot arboree. Really? I don't know. This is a video. Oh, okay. I didn't realize
Starting point is 01:38:26 that the video that he took, I thought it was just a bystander who happened to be filming everything that was going down. I didn't know that he was with them. Right. Well, so break down what we see in that video. We see Ahmaud running, and we see him jogging. We see the truck
Starting point is 01:38:42 stop, like, to block him off, and he's running around the truck, it looks like, and then him and that man get an altercation with the man with the pistol, and then we hear a couple of gunshots, and then we see Ahmad laying on the floor. We see two individuals, one guy, a shotgun, one guy outside the truck, one guy in the truck,
Starting point is 01:38:57 and then we see the gentleman following, for people who don't know what video we're talking about. And that's what we're trying to figure out. Now, Ahmad, he was just doing his daily run. Is that correct? That's right. So Ahmad Arbery is an elite all-American high school athlete from South Georgia.
Starting point is 01:39:13 So, you know, football is king there. He's very big in the football community. In fact, we first learned about it by an NFL athlete who knew Ahmad and had a relationship with him from his high school football days. And to break that video down a little further, the man that you see standing outside of the truck as Ahmad is jogging down the street is Travis McMichael. And he is standing there with a shotgun.
Starting point is 01:39:34 It appears that Ahmad was surprised by his presence. Because if you slow that video down frame by frame, you can see him jogging at a steady pace. And as he approaches the truck, he sees a man standing there with a long gun. And so he darts to the right. And the man lifts the long gun and goes after him. At this point, the two are off screen. That's when you hear the first shot.
Starting point is 01:39:54 And after that, you see Ahmad fighting for his life. And I'm going to say I'm so proud of Ahmad. And his mom hasn't been able to watch this video, but Ahmad gave these men the fight for their lives. And if nothing else, I can appreciate, and I've been reflecting on Claude McKay, hasn't been able to watch this video, but Ahmaud gave these men the fight for their lives. And if nothing else, I can appreciate, and I've been reflecting on Claude McKay, I can appreciate him saying, look, I'm going down fighting. I wish Ahmaud had a gun to shoot back.
Starting point is 01:40:19 So when people say, right, that they're doing a citizen's arrest, okay, because that's the story. Now the story has changed into, oh, from going from seeing someone breaking into a house to then doing a citizen's arrest. What are the rules for a citizen's arrest? I want to emphasize that this was not a citizen's arrest. That's a story that they later came up with. However, if you are a Georgia citizen and attempting to perform a citizen's arrest, you must personally observe a crime. It must be actively ongoing or that crime that just happened must be within your direct knowledge. The only thing that these men ever told law enforcement they saw was Ahmaud Arbery running down the road. And at some point he stopped by a property that was under
Starting point is 01:40:55 construction and he looked through the window and they used that to say, well, that was enough to perform a citizen's arrest. And it's just not. Now, let me ask you a question. You said that they thought that Ahmaud was suspected of robbing houses before. So Ahmaud lives in the area and he runs. Has he had run-ins with these people before? He has never been accused, suspected, arrested for breaking into homes before. He is a known runner. The only crime that they have ever even brought up with him was something from high school and a shoplifting incident.
Starting point is 01:41:26 So, no. Which has nothing to do with this, by the way, at all. I don't even know why they're bringing that up. Did he live in this neighborhood? He lived a few blocks away, according to his dad. So, did they know each other? Did the McMichaels and Aubrey's know each other? Have they seen him before?
Starting point is 01:41:39 No. So, this is a very segregated community. So, unless he's going by for his run, black folks aren't going to be hanging out in this part of town. Now, Lee, can I ask you another question about Gregory McMichael? Being that he was in law enforcement previously, what's the rules when it comes to that? Because it feels like he's getting some type of preferential treatment.
Starting point is 01:41:59 So he should be treated as any other criminal suspect. But the person responsible for arresting him, the department, Glynn County Police Department, he used to work for. And the district attorney responsible for charging him passed on the case because of her conflict. It got moved over to the next district attorney over, Barnhill. And Barnhill hid the fact that he knew the shooter personally, that his son grew up with the shooter, and he gave the opinion that these guys did nothing wrong before it was discovered that he had these direct ties to him, and so he had to transfer the case as well. It's now on his third district attorney,
Starting point is 01:42:35 who is refusing to go arrest these men, which it is in his power to do, but he's claiming because of corona and the quarantine that he can't do it until after the grand jury convenes sometime in mid-June. Nope. If Georgia can open up everything else, they can open up them damn courts now. That's right. Question, Lee. If this guy pulled a gun on Ahmaud and then Ahmaud defended himself, how can it then go back to this white man saying he was defending himself? They will not be able to successfully avail themselves of the self-defense
Starting point is 01:43:06 statute because you cannot agitate. I'm sorry, legally they should not be able to. I shouldn't say will not be able to because for the same reason that George Zimmerman should not have been able to claim self-defense against Trayvon Martin for an incident that he instigated. These men can't, you can't chase
Starting point is 01:43:22 a man down with guns, cut off all of his exits because the man behind that was recording is with the posse. So you have a man with a gun in a truck behind him, men with guns in the truck in front of him. He had no other option. And so you can't claim self-defense when you corner a citizen. Now, let me ask you, I saw today that Joe Biden is coming forward and now demanding justice also for Ahmaud Arbery's family. I hadn't seen that. I'm glad to hear that Biden is speaking up. We need him to be vocal on all of these incidences, but not just give lip service to it. He can speak to his context from his long and illustrious career at the U.S. Department of Justice,
Starting point is 01:44:03 who will be able to handle this case, who will go out and make the arrests, and who will successfully prosecute these men for hate crime charges. So not just words from Mr. Biden. We need action. Now, when they shot and killed this young man, I'm sure they called the police. They called 911. And when they called 911, what was the reason for shooting? Because, I mean, all that's taped. Right. So they called 911 prior to shooting. And they said, we see a man, excuse my language, he said he's hauling ass down the road.
Starting point is 01:44:32 And so that was their justification for stopping him. And when law enforcement finally responded to the scene after a model there was already dead, the excuse they used was, well, we were trying to perform a citizen's arrest. Well, they didn't say that at the time. They said this man came after us and started violently attacking us, and so we had to defend ourselves. So the video clearly shows that that wasn't the case. So it clearly shows that they're lying, correct?
Starting point is 01:44:57 Yeah. The video directly refutes all of their previous claims. How did they get the video from Brian Williams? If he was down with him, how did they get that video? So the video was anonymously shared online. We assume that they shared it around their circles for a while, and as the story began to get publicity over, since the New York Times wrote about it about two weeks ago,
Starting point is 01:45:18 someone leaked it and uploaded it online. So them goddamn devils was bragging about it, basically. The day that they murdered Ahmad, his father went on Facebook and bragged my son was the shooter, as if he was proud of it. No. Damn. I saw a group of kids, they were protesting,
Starting point is 01:45:36 and they, I don't know if it was just kids, but just a group of black people, and they were walking to the McMichael's house. Did they actually do that? I heard that they were out there walking to the McMichael's house. I'm curious, that? I heard that they were out there walking to the McMichael's house. I'm curious, honestly, whether other Georgia citizens can unveil those of the citizen arrest statute and go in and arrest these men because there's clear evidence that they committed a murder and the authorities have not made the arrest.
Starting point is 01:45:59 And so and the authorities have even offered the opinion that these men could, in fact, perform citizen arrest of Ahmaud. So what is stopping the citizens of Georgia from arresting this man? Now, I'm not advising anyone put themselves in harm's way, but I'm wondering whether we enjoy the same protections under the law as these men do. Well, you know we don't because we black. A question, though, if I'm driving, right, say I was driving down the road and I saw Ahma Ahmad fighting for his life against these three devils and I have my pistol on me. If I jumped out and shot one of them, what would happen to me? Now, I imagine you will be arrested and charged with murder or aggravated assault.
Starting point is 01:46:36 Now, under the law, you are allowed to protect a third person. You can see someone under attack like Brother Ahmad and say, I'm going to use my right to intervene for the safety of this person. It's completely legal under the statute. Hey, man, what do we got to do, Lee? What do we got to do? Gregory McMichaels, Travis McMichaels, Brian Williams, like, what kind
Starting point is 01:46:58 of noise do we got to make around this situation to make sure that these guys get arrested? Because I don't even understand how they can even say this brother was a burglar because burglars don't wear white T-shirts and shorts and sneakers to go break into nobody's house in broad daylight. In the middle of the day. The person responsible right now for holding these men accountable
Starting point is 01:47:17 is Tom Durden, a local Southern prosecutor. I don't trust Tom Durden to get the job done. I believe that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation should step in, that a U.S. attorney should take on the case, that we should be looking at federal hate crime charges because the local law enforcement community over the past two and a half months has shown us what they plan to do to these men, which is absolutely nothing. We would be fools to sit back and wait for the legal process, for the grand jury to open up, and for these men to be charged by local prosecutors.
Starting point is 01:47:50 That is asking for our community to be disappointed. So if you go to runwithmaud.com, that's runwithmaud.com, we will give you specific action steps to take to ensure that the right prosecutors get involved in the case, that there is a complete and thorough investigation. And again, we are pushing for local officials to go out and arrest these men today. They are a danger to the community. They are a danger to the peace, and there's no reason that they should be free pending indictment.
Starting point is 01:48:18 Is there a number we can call just to harass that guy you just mentioned? Tom, what did you say? Thomas what? Durden. Tom Durden. Tom Durden. Tom Durden. Is there a number? You can find the number on runwithmod.com. We will take you through an entire prompt.
Starting point is 01:48:32 We provide scripts for you to go through. We have all the numbers that you can reach for the decision makers in this case. Got you. I'm going to put a petty party on all the decision makers, man. Oh, yeah, 770-800-0689 to demand justice for Ahmaud right away. I'm on the website right now. I want all of our Breakfast Club listeners to go call that number, 770-800-0689.
Starting point is 01:48:59 Let's have a petty party on that phone line today and demand justice for Ahmaud, man. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. All right, brother. Thank you, Lee. Appreciate you, King.

Starting point is 01:52:49 Real quick right Emotional poison is created by our reaction To what we consider injustice Usually we release the poison With the person we think is responsible For the injustice but if that person is so Powerful that we cannot send it to them We don't care who we send it to
Starting point is 01:53:04 We send it to the little ones don't care who we send it to. We send it to the little ones who have no defense against us. And that is how abusive relationships are formed.
