Good morning. You know what's crazy, man? When you're watching CNN early this morning and the lower third says U.S. cities brace for Chauvin verdict as closing testimony begins today.
Starting point is 00:03:02 And the fact that we live in a country that even though we saw a murder took place for, you know, however long it was, nine minutes or however many seconds. In fact, we saw it. Everybody saw it. But everybody's still preparing for the worst. Because we know how this country always pulls the rug out from under black people.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Yeah, they're saying kids don't necessarily have to go to school next week in that area just in case. They're saying a lot of businesses are closed. Yeah, this week. Virtual learning. Yeah, they said starting Wednesday. They're saying a lot of businesses are boarding up and closing already. I mean, just the fact that we all witnessed this blatant injustice.
Starting point is 00:03:39 Every American saw it. But just in case, we bracing for the worst in America. Because America already knows. America knows how it gets down. That's right. God damn, boy. That is right. Well, I was out in Phoenix over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:03:53 I guess Phoenix had a huge weekend. I seen Lil Durk perform. Jeezy was out there. But that's not why flights were so expensive. So flights to Phoenix this weekend was $1,000 for regular flights. Regular. Regular. Coach. Nothing. no Delta Comfort, no first class. And that's not even direct. That's you had to stop to get to Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:04:12 And I couldn't figure out why flights were so expensive. But when I got there, I seen that they had a huge dance competition. So there was like all these dance moms in the airport and all these dances. So that's why. So Phoenix was crazy this weekend. So I was out in Phoenix. Shout out to everybody in Phoenix. I had a good time when I was out there.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Had a really good time. So I actually spent more time on the airplane than I actually did in Phoenix, trying to get to Phoenix. But it was still worth it. Had a great, great time. What did you guys do over the weekend? I was here in New York. I went to a comedy club to go see Ada Rodriguez perform.
Starting point is 00:04:45 And, yeah, very socially distanced in there, by the way. And I think that's how I went for a nice walk around my neighborhood with our friend, Glow Maven Latham Thomas. Glow Maven. I always make sure that if I feel like I haven't been doing anything like going outside and getting a little air, I'm very conscious about, okay, I got to go outside and at least go for a walk and walk around the neighborhood. So I did that. Walked to the Juice Bar Juices for Life in Brooklyn. I had a nice chill weekend.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Wait, you went out with Latham? We went for a walk. The doula? Latham Thomas, Glow Maven, who was just on the show. The doula. I thought he said dude. I said the doula? I'm just asking. You got something you want show. Yes, she is a doula. A black, oh, the doula. I thought he said dude. No, I said the doula.
Starting point is 00:05:26 I'm just asking. You got something you want to tell her, she? What? Okay, all right. I'm just asking. Latham is my friend. Oh, no, I'm just asking.
Starting point is 00:05:34 I'm just asking. I'm just asking, that's all. Latham is an amazing human. And she lives in Brooklyn. Okay. Latham is an amazing human. Because of her, my wife was able
Starting point is 00:05:42 to have a vaginal childbirth on our third child because she had a C-section for our second one and they told her she was able to have a vaginal childbirth on our third child because she had a C-section for our second one, and they told her she would have to have a C-section again. And Latham said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And because of her, she had a vaginal birth. So I believe in doulas 100%. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Yeah, she's a great person. I actually met Latham through Johnny Nunes, the photographer. You know, Johnny Nunes. So, yes. Okay. All right. Well, today, Secretary Pete Buttigieg. So, yes. Okay. All right. Well, today, Secretary Pete Buttigieg will be joining us this morning. Secretary Pete, first person from the Biden administration to check in since the Biden
Starting point is 00:06:13 administration has been in the White House. It says a lot about those Negroes around, Joe Biden. But we already know that, you know, when it comes to, you know, elections and everything, you only hear from Democrats during election cycles. They don't engage their audience unless it's an election cycle, which I think is a mistake. So salute to Secretary Pete for checking in this morning. Secretary of Transportation. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. What are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:06:45 Nothing good this morning. There's a lot of updates on different shootings that have happened. We'll tell you about the FedEx shooting that happened in Indianapolis. They have ID'd that gunman. We say nothing good as if it's ever good news. All right. And we got to send a rest in peace to Black Rob. Black Rob passed away over the weekend. And we should start the show off with, whoa, you got it ready, drama?
Starting point is 00:07:00 Gotcha. Let's go. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Rest in peace, Black Rob. Good morning, everybody. It's go. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Rest in peace, Black Rob. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Yee? Police have ID'd the gunman who killed eight people at an Indianapolis FedEx facility. It's a 19- 19 year old former employee. And according to these reports, the gunman is 19 year old Brandon Hull. He was last employed by FedEx in 2020. He was found dead of a gunshot wound that appeared to be self-inflicted. He had an issue back in March of last year.
Starting point is 00:07:40 His mother told law enforcement he might attempt suicide by cop. And that's when Hull was placed on an immediate mental health temporary hold. He also said a gunshot, I mean, a shotgun was seized at his residence as well. So they said based on items they observed in his bedroom at that time, he was interviewed by the FBI. They also said in a statement that no racially motivated violent extremism ideology was identified during the course of the assessment and no criminal violation was found the shotgun then at that time was not returned to the suspect and so they're trying to determine what the motive was and they're searching what they believe is his home according to reports late friday morning probably was his acne he had terrible terrible acne and i don't know if his acne played a role in him flipping out but that's what a dermatologist
Starting point is 00:08:24 is for and furthermore acne don't last always and furthermore stop making permanent decisions based off temporary feelings people lord have mercy whenever i hear stories like that i'm telling you the first thing i think is yo just do you okay never you feel like you want to harm a bunch of people and hurt a bunch of people start with yourself before you don't go take yourself out before you take out a bunch of innocent people man jesus christ all right well another person was arrested after a shooting at a bar in wisconsin in kenosha three people were killed and three others were injured the person's name was not released but he was arrested on suspicion of first degree intentional homicide the victims were not identified yet identified yet, and more than three people, like we said, have been injured.
Starting point is 00:09:08 The person was taken into custody and did follow multiple leads. That's when they reviewed surveillance video. They said that they believed the suspect knew who he was targeting. They said a person was asked to leave the bar and returned an open fire. It was unclear whether the victims knew the shooter, but the names, ages, and everything has still not been released. So none of the good guys got guns?
Starting point is 00:09:30 There's never nobody in these establishments to combat these individuals who lose their mind? The sad thing is a lot of times you're not allowed to. Think about it. Security throws somebody out. He goes back to the car. And a lot of times security doesn't have weapons. They're not allowed to have weapons inside the venue
Starting point is 00:09:44 or around the venue. That's crazy. You said Kenosha, right? Mm-hmm. Ain't that the same place Kyle Rittenhouse was at? Yeah, Kenosha, Wisconsin. So clearly they're
Starting point is 00:09:53 an open carry state, right? So I would think somebody in that venue could combat, you know, that type of behavior, but, you know. Even though it's an open venue state
Starting point is 00:10:02 or, you know, it doesn't mean that venue is open carry state. It doesn't mean that venue's allowed to have. In a private venue, you can say this is not allowed in this venue. Well, every venue needs to have it at this point.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I'd rather get caught with it than caught without it. And then three people were pronounced dead at the scene of a shooting in Austin, Texas on Sunday. They said it appeared to be a domestic situation that is isolated. Police identified the suspect, who is still at large, as Stephen Nichols Broderick, who is 41 years
Starting point is 00:10:30 old. They don't know if he fled on foot or in a vehicle, but they're concerned he could be hiding or he could have taken a hostage. So they're saying this is a tragedy. He actually is a former Travis County Sheriff's Office detective. He was charged with the sexual assault of a child.
Starting point is 00:10:48 He resigned from the department last year after he was arrested and charged. And he was arrested June 20th last year, released on bond that same month. Well, I believe in my right to be honest. OK, and I tell you, I'll get the guns out of the hands of these people. I'm always believe in my right to be honest. All right. There's a lot more. All right. I think we lot more. All right. I think we've reached our shooting quota for the morning.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I think we did, too. We don't have to mention any other shootings this morning. America has a problem. That we know. All right. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up. Wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. The Breakfast Club. Angela, what up? I mean, Nick, what's happening? What you calling? Yo, come on. I'm calling it to say rest in peace to Black Rob. But I'm also calling it because I was watching a bit of the Joe Button podcast, right?
Starting point is 00:11:59 And they were talking about whether or not Diddy is responsible for, you know, these artists once they get, you know, they leave the label or when artists get sick and stuff like that or they financially financially not you know together and i and i heard you talk about it before why don't the hip-hop artists or the hip-hop community form some kind of like you know artist coalition or foundation for hip-hop artists so that when you know their careers are not blossoming like they were before there'll be some kind of funds to help them take care of their you know finances or their retirement or something like that. Because it's sad watching Black Rob, who's such a New York legend, you know,
Starting point is 00:12:31 pass away like that, man, homeless and financially, you know, and burdened like that, man. It was sad to see him sick like that. So I know a lot of artists don't have, you know, unions or have healthcare or have dental or nothing like that based on the fact that they't have, you know, unions or have healthcare or have dental or nothing like that based on the fact that they're independent. You know, a contract is basically, they should come together
Starting point is 00:12:51 and form some kind of coalition for artists, man. The older artists or, you know, have some kind of a union for hip-hop artists because it's sad to see our artists passed away like that. I keep hearing everybody say that, but I don't even know how that works. I don't know how unions work. I think people are just saying that
Starting point is 00:13:07 because that's a word, that's like a buzzword that's being thrown around. Rappers need to have a union. Rappers need to have a union. What does that even mean? I don't think they should have a union. I think what they should do
Starting point is 00:13:14 is when you sign an artist, it's just like when you signed on the NFL or NBA, they usually have a general, a class where you have to take where it tells you about your finances, what you should do with your money so so people know because a lot of people never had money you give them a hundred
Starting point is 00:13:28 thousand two hundred thousand three hundred thousand they don't know what to do with it i i i know you mentioned one time during the earlier part of the pandemic how you wanted to do something like that with the dj right you were bringing all the djs together to have some kind of fun to help them out it's not hard To put something together Because if you can sign up For TMI and ASCAP Or something like that You can do it
Starting point is 00:13:48 Where do you You just have criteria What you need to become Part of the coalition Just be honest If an artist doesn't want to do it They don't have to do it I've been doing these seminars
Starting point is 00:13:57 And I told every DJ out there That a DJ that actually on radio That makes money for DJing Only money from DJing Not you know Working here and DJing on the money from DJing, not, you know, working here and DJing on the side, DJs that do this full time. Any one of my seminars that I come in the city, call me. I probably got three calls.
Starting point is 00:14:13 So they have to want to do it too. And they don't want to have to do it when they put on, when they effed up. You're an employee, so you can't let that deter you though. It doesn't. Right. And I do want to, I want to, I want to say one more thing about unions though, Rick, just to agree with what you're saying is that think you though. It doesn't. Right. And I do want to, I want to, I want to say one more thing about unions though, Rick, just to agree with what you're saying
Starting point is 00:14:27 is that think about it like if you're an actor, you have to join a union in order to get paid or work on certain projects, right? So you can make it mandatory if you,
Starting point is 00:14:36 if, and that is, you can form a union if the majority of people want to do that and that's just a way to set up for the future and also make sure
Starting point is 00:14:43 that you'll always be taken care of when it comes to healthcare, when it comes to health care when it comes to when you retire so it is possible to do that well question I wonder if these rappers are eligible for any of these things now are they eligible for SAG-AFTRA?
Starting point is 00:14:55 they are I know the entertainment you don't have to be a big name to be a part of SAG right? you can just be an extra in a film you can be a part of SAG, right? You can just be an extra in a film. You have to have a speaking part, I think. You have to have a speaking part, correct. I remember being a single fan and you understand you can't eat off 100 grand. Like, you get a deal. You don't get medical. You don't get none of that out of being a hip-hop artist.
Starting point is 00:15:21 They can do it. And I think we have the power to to it. You know, Jay-Z, Srisby, all these people that are putting together all these verses and all that stuff. We can put together something for the audience. It's possible. It is possible. I really want to know if some of these rappers are eligible for SAG health insurance. I really want to know. I don't know. Because they do videos and stuff
Starting point is 00:15:40 like that. So I don't know. I would love to know if they're eligible. But Rick, it's also financial freedom. You have to know what to do with. But, Rick, it's also financial freedom. You have to know what to do with your money. Like, you can't be mad at a label for giving you money and the first thing you do is you go buy a car or the first thing you do is you buy jewelry. You have to make sure you know.
Starting point is 00:15:54 It's a plan. You have to plan everything out. You just can't spend like it's not going to stop. That's where we need courses on financial literacy because we have to make sure we cover our ass before we just go out and just buy a random ish. It is what it is.
Starting point is 00:16:08 That's, that's what a lot of us do when we get our first check. But I will say unexpected things happen. Like a main part of the reason why people end up going broke can also be medical bills that are unexpected. It can also be bad investments. You might invest in some things and then it don't work out the way that you plan.
Starting point is 00:16:22 There are a lot of reasons that it can happen. Not necessarily always just wasting your money. A lot of times it is wasting our money. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:16:36 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 of like, this is mine. I own this.
Starting point is 00:16:52 It's surprisingly easy. There's 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 Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Starting point is 00:17:07 The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.
Starting point is 00:17:49 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. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best

Nobody in the house was stuck with that. Well, that's just like the woman I saw. I saw some woman somewhere kill all three of her kids because she said she was protecting the kids from the house.

Starting point is 00:23:12 It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, rest in peace to Black Rob. I think we were all surprised when we saw the video of Black Rob in the hospital where he was giving his condolences to DMX's family. If y'all recall, this is what it sounded like. I mean, I've been dealing with this man for five years, four strokes.
Starting point is 00:23:42 This is crazy. This is hard, man. You know what I'm saying? I don't got no house to live in except probably, man, apartment, man, for me and my man to be trying to get together, man. I'm telling you, man,
Starting point is 00:23:54 this is strange. It's hard, man. You know what I'm saying? Man, I need some rest, man. You know, we don't know what kind of pain that brother was in. We don't know what he was going through. But I tell you what, that video, you heard it for yourself just now.
Starting point is 00:24:09 That brother said he was tired. He said he needed some rest. So I pray to God that, you know, God is pleased with him and he gets the rest he deserves. Absolutely. Well, he had been hospitalized for a kidney failure. And his former label mate, Mark Curry, took to social media to announce when Black Rob had gotten discharged from the hospital. But unfortunately, on Saturday, he revealed that Black Rob had passed. I don't know where to begin this, but I thank everybody for the donations.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Rob passed away about an hour ago. I need for his daughter, Iona Ross, little Robert Ross. Y'all get in touch with me, please. Luke DeMarco, what is Black Rob's family saying? I feel like we're hearing from everybody except for his actual family. What is his family saying? Well, I haven't seen anything
Starting point is 00:24:57 from his family yet. You know, we did see that Puff did post the message, Mario Winans, a lot of his former label mates also posted their condolences messages. In addition to that, you know, Black Rob had been struggling with health issues for quite some time. Back in 2015, he was on Sway and he was discussing his high blood pressure, strokes that he had. Listen to this. You know, I had a stroke, you know, but I got over that.
Starting point is 00:25:23 It's just been high blood pressure, man. And, you know, and trying to, trying to stay on top of this thing, man, you know what I'm saying, man? And, you know, being on top. So you got to take pills and stuff for your high blood pressure? Yeah. Daily? Yeah, man. I take like 10 pills, man. A day, every day. Damn. The reason I asked what Black Rob's family is is is because I see all these GoFundMes going around. I see things for, they're trying to get the brother a house. They're trying to get funeral expenses.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Who's behind all of this? Where is that money going? That's what I would like to know. Right. And we did see that Puff did post a statement. He said, Rest in power, King Black Rob. As I listened to your records today,
Starting point is 00:26:05 there's one thing that they all have in common. You have made millions of people all over the world feel good and dance. You are one of a kind. God bless, love. You will be truly missed.
Starting point is 00:26:14 So sad, man. Man, this is so sad. Yeah, I was surprised because we just saw him recently, but we did see that he was suffering. Well, listen, the brother said he needed some rest. That's what I heard in the video. The brother said he needed some rest. He said
Starting point is 00:26:27 he was tired. So once again, I hope God is pleased with him. And I pray the brother gets the rest he deserves. All right. Now, Paris Hilton is saying that she suffered from PTSD. And that was after that sex tape was released that one night in Paris sex tape. She said it was like being electronically raped. That's what she said Paris sex tape. She said it was like being electronically raped. That's what she said about that experience. She was only 20 years old when she made that sex tape. And she said that her boyfriend at the time, Rick Solomon had kind of pressured her into doing this sex tape. He was, she's, he was 13 years older than her. And she said, that's something that will always hurt me for the rest of my life. She said they filmed that
Starting point is 00:27:04 sex tape in 2001. There was a three minute version of it that was leaked in 2003. They both sued the company. And then he went ahead and released a longer version of the video and he plugged it on NBC. He said it's 18 minutes of full color and I think everybody will enjoy it. He then struck a deal with the porn studio Red Light District video. He sold the 45 minute version with the name One Night in Paris. And she said it still gives her PTSD
Starting point is 00:27:28 to discuss that sex tape, which was filmed then when she was only 20 years old. She said it's something that will always hurt her. I thought both parties got to sign off when they sell it to those porn companies. Yeah, I thought so too. I'm not sure how that worked, but she said it was a private experience between two people.
Starting point is 00:27:44 You love someone, you trust someone. And to have your trust betrayed like that and for the whole world to be watching and laughing, it was even more hurtful to me to have these people think that I did this on purpose. That killed me. It still gives me PTSD to talk about it. I had always looked up to amazing women like Princess Diana. And I just felt like when he did that to me, he took that all away from me and people would never look at me the same. She said all these people were making fun of her and all these talk shows and she didn't want to leave her bed.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Yeah, I'm with you, Sheldon. I thought you had to sign off on that. I didn't think anybody could just post it on their sites or their blog sites or say I thought you had to sign off. Yeah, I thought both parties had to sign off. Now, Paris Hilton's little sister said that they lived in a hotel where the New York Daily News and the New York Post was on everyone's front door down the hall. So she said on days when it was a cover story, I would run down the hall first and flip every newspaper over so they didn't have to see
Starting point is 00:28:34 it. She lived in a hotel. Isn't her granddaddy own a bunch of hotels? Well, that's probably why she lived there. She lived rent-free. Okay. I'm just saying. I'd like for all of this context to be out there because it sounds like lived there. She lived rent-free. Okay. I'm just saying. The show was a regular room. The show was a sweet presidential suite.
Starting point is 00:28:46 I'd like for all of this context to be out there because it sounds like, what? She lived in a hotel? Yeah, because your granddaddy owned the Hilton. Her last name was Hilton. Yeah. The show was a presidential suite. It wasn't a regular room. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:57 And she said if that would have happened today, it wouldn't be what it was back then. She said, I'm, again, happy that things have changed and that people are realizing that the woman in the situation is the victim should not be treated like that or spoken about like that. All right. Well, that is your rumor reports. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? Yes. Today is the closing arguments.

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.

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 high is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories 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
Starting point is 00:32:33 and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to post run high on the I heart radio app Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey. All right. That's a tough tune right there. That's it. Yeah, absolutely. I didn't see you do the ski challenge yet, Charlemagne. Well, you know, listen, I think it's dope that Thug and Gunna got folk skiing
Starting point is 00:32:59 in the spring. What I'm waiting on is a cocaine addict to show y'all doing that challenge with real skiing is. That's the one I'm going to get a cocaine addict to show y'all doing that challenge with real skin, okay? That's the one I'm going to get in on. All right. Can't nobody fix Nif cocaine like me. I'm telling you. Let me see you do it one time. If you're watching, I'm going to do it one time. You're not even here, so no. I'm watching. I can see you right now.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Let me see you do it one time. Come on. Let me see you do it one time. Come on. Just one time. One time? No. I don't suck things up when you ask me to, sir. See, you play too much. Let's get some front page news. You kinky. You miss me this weekend.
Starting point is 00:33:29 Where we starting, Yee? Well, closing arguments are starting today in a Derek Chauvin trial in Minneapolis. But there's also preparations for protests being made. So police have been bracing across the country in case they see a lot of things happening. There were tensions in the Minneapolis metropolitan area as people are waiting to find out what's going to happen with Derek Chauvin. You know, there was a peaceful march and protest calling for justice. And at least 100 people were arrested on Friday night, according to authorities. And so you could see just all kinds of things happening.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Now, closing arguments in Derek Chauvin's trial will contrast the prosecution's concise case with a more complex defense. So prosecutors are trying to say basically what you saw is what it is. You know, Derek Chauvin used his knee to suffocate a non-resisting black man. And that's what it is. That's what they've been arguing. You can believe your eyes that it's a homicide, according to prosecuting attorney Jerry Blackwell in opening statements. But the defense's goal throughout the trial has been to make that more complicated. What they are saying, what looked like excessive force, was actually an appropriate restraint.
Starting point is 00:34:33 What looked like a suffocation was actually Floyd's drug overdose and underlying heart issues. And what looked like an officer's heartlessness was actually concern about a hostile mob of agitators, according to the defense. Listen, America knows America. Don't ever let these politicians fool you when they say this is not America. This is absolutely America and they know it. That's why they're bracing themselves for the worst, because they already know. I'm looking at CNN right now. The Lord Third says Biden said he is keeping a watchful eye on trial. Fierce verdict may inflame tensions. You think?
Starting point is 00:35:06 You think that if Derek Chauvin gets off, it's going to inflame tensions? That's going to be an understatement. And you know what's going to happen? They're going to treat the people who are reacting to the injustice worse than they treat the person who actually committed the injustice.
Starting point is 00:35:18 That's what's going to happen. Hopefully not. Now, just to recap, Derek Chauvin has pleaded not guilty to second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter charges. If he is convicted, he could face up to 40 years in prison for second-degree murder, up to 25 years for the third-degree, and up to 10 years for second-degree manslaughter. The charges are considered separate, so he could be convicted of all, some, or none of them.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Well, whatever happens is meant to happen. You know? I know that sounds cliche, but it's true. Yeah, that definitely sounds cliche. It is, but whatever happens is meant to happen. So, you know, America can show black people once again what they think about us, or they can, for the first time in a long time, do the right thing. You know?
Starting point is 00:35:59 Destiny's not a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice. So, you know, pick your choice this week, America. All right. It's so crazy because when the trial first started, I was like, get him. Like with the prosecution. And it felt like it was a shut and closed case. Like, okay, this is going to happen.
Starting point is 00:36:15 But now we're a little nervous. All right. Now, a seven-year-old girl died and her father was wounded after they were shot at a McDonald's drive-thru in Chicago yesterday. The child was identified by police as Jazlyn and her 28-year-old dad, Jontae Adams. They were in a car outside of the McDonald's when two gunmen opened fire on them. Jazlyn was struck several times in the shooting that occurred at about 4.20 p.m. Her father was hit in the torso and he's hospitalized in stable condition. So, yes, I told you it was not really any good news.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Nothing good. No babies born. It's never nobody hit the lotto. Why are you acting like we deliver good news? Nobody delivers good news. The age old motto in the news is if it bleeds, it leaps. OK, when is there ever good news? Goodness gracious.
Starting point is 00:37:03 I get a paper. All right. Well, that is a lot of Alright well that is your All right All right reset reset reset Now when we come back Secretary Pete Buttigieg Will be joining us Yeah Secretary Pete
Starting point is 00:37:14 Listen always remember Democrats are only your friend When it's an election cycle Okay they only engage Their audience when it's When it's election time Which I think is a mistake So it's good to see
Starting point is 00:37:22 Secretary Pete Buttigieg Checking in this morning. All right. We'll kick it with him when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest on the line, Secretary Pete Buttigieg. Welcome. Good morning. Good morning. Good to be with you.
Starting point is 00:37:45 Hey, man, we knew you when you were just a little mayor down there in South Bend, man. Now look at you. Look at you. Congratulations on the new position. Thank you. So what is the position? What are you doing? What is the position? Break it down. So it's everything related to how people get around, right? We're talking about transit. We've got a federal transit authority that supports subways and buses, the Federal Aviation Administration for air travel, ports and airports, planes, trains and automobiles, all of that, even pipeline safety is part of the department. And it's always an exciting place to be, at least if you care about these things. But this moment right now, this moment that we're in, I think is the most important moment in terms of what we can do
Starting point is 00:38:25 for transportation in the country because of the president's jobs plan, which hopefully we'll get to talk about. So there's never been a more exciting moment to work these issues. And, you know, I think about it as a mayor, right, because as a mayor, you're getting up, you're thinking about potholes. You're worried about how to make sure people can get around the community. But now we get to work those issues for the whole country. I saw a lot of conversation based around what you said about racism and how it's sometimes been a part of highway planning and construction. So can you break that down for us? Yeah, I was a little surprised that some people were so surprised because I think to a lot of others, it's it's been pretty obvious.
Starting point is 00:39:02 But it starts by understanding the history, right? So if you look at the way that a lot of highways, for example, have been built in this country, a lot of that was at the expense of black and brown neighborhoods. And sometimes it was just out of convenience. So it's expensive to buy up a bunch of property, to run a highway through it. Black neighborhoods are often undervalued. and so it was the path of least resistance sometimes it was about power right the neighborhoods that had the least uh power to speak up in a community process and say wait a minute let's have that road go there instead of here sometimes that was part of the explanation but it's very important to understand that sometimes
Starting point is 00:39:41 this was very intentional there is evidence from history in places from Atlanta to New York City that sometimes the way that a road was built, the way that a highway was set up, the way that one part of town was divided from another was viewed as part of the mechanics, the mechanism of segregation, that you could keep two parts of town separated through something like the highway. So when I talk about racial equity in transportation, it's not just about making sure that everybody has access to good transportation, but also literally when the money was spent, where was it spent and how was it spent and what effect did it have? And often you'd have sometimes a thriving neighborhood that got cut into or just rolled over entirely through the use of federal transportation dollars. And I don't say
Starting point is 00:40:31 that in order to make people feel guilty. I'm saying it because we can do it differently this time. The president's proposed the biggest jobs investment since World War II. We're talking about hundreds of billions of dollars. So this time, let's get it right, including money to reconnect some of those same places that were divided in the past. Now, I, let's get it right, including money to reconnect some of those same places that were divided in the past. Now, I did hear that, you know, back in the day, especially like in areas like Long Island and where the beaches are, they would make these overpasses that were too low for buses, because back in the day, of course, minorities, black people couldn't afford cars, so they would have to take the bus. So that way the bus couldn't get
Starting point is 00:41:01 to those beaches. So more of the rich white people would be able to get to the beaches and not allow us to get to some of those areas. Is that what you're talking about as well? Yeah, that's a great example. The Robert Caro's history book, The Power Broker, about a biography of Robert Moses, who who engineered a lot of these things, describes this. And it's exactly as you're saying, overpasses a little lower than they usually would have been. So the buses couldn't get through, and the buses would have been how a lot of Black and Puerto Rican residents would have been able to access those beaches. So that's another example of how this is not just incidental. This is not just out of neglect. There were some real choices made here.
Starting point is 00:41:36 But now we can make different choices, better choices, and that's part of what's exciting about the jobs plan. What is the jobs plan exactly? I'm hearing it's a transformative plan that's going to impact generations. So what is it exactly? Yeah, so it's roads and bridges, first of all, just fixing 20,000 miles of roads, 10,000 bridges around the country. It's improving our ports and airports. It's improving transit. In fact, we're going to double the resources for transit. In fact, we're going to double the resources for transit. And this is important also from a racial justice perspective, because, you know, black and brown Americans are more
Starting point is 00:42:08 likely to rely on transit to get to where they need to go. This is about making sure we invest in workforce, because the other equity question that's really big here is who's going to get to do the work, right? If we're going to be building bridges, fixing roads and improving ports and airports and enhancing subways. Who actually gets to do the work? What kind of businesses get in on it? And what kind of workers get in on that? So what can we do to make sure that there are apprenticeship programs to make more pathways available to get these building trades done? All of this is contemplated in the plan. It's $2.25 trillion. And there's a bit of a fight going on over whether you can call it
Starting point is 00:42:46 infrastructure, right? So there's things like roads and bridges that everybody agrees for infrastructure, but there's also investments in internet access. We think that's infrastructure. Absolutely. You need to be able to get on the internet to do your homework, to get a job the same way. You know, I know 50 years ago, people weren't thinking about the internet, but they were putting in the interstate highway system. Right now, you need both. So we've got things like that. We've got measures to deal with water.
Starting point is 00:43:10 You know, water is definitely infrastructure, at least from a mayor's perspective. And so the president's plan would get rid of all lead service pipes everywhere in the country. It's a huge undertaking, but you've got to do it. Otherwise, you still have families worried about whether they can get clean, safe drinking water that isn't going to poison their children. Pete, this is when this is when the age gap is clear between you and some of your peers. Right. That being that you're trying to convince them that the Internet is infrastructure. Of course it is in 2021. I think so. I mean, I think all of this is generational, too. Right. The the the truth is we're living off of infrastructure that was built generations ago, and we've kind of been coasting for a long time, taking out investments for 30 or 40 years, which is why they put out report cards from the American Society of Civil Engineers, for example.
Starting point is 00:43:57 They're giving us C's and D's on the infrastructure in this country, and other are weeping ahead of us. You can see we're falling behind. That's a generational issue because a new generation can't thrive in an economy that doesn't have good infrastructure. Same with Internet, same with climate. So the other really important thing we have to do here is make investments that are going to help head off climate change. Transportation is the single biggest source of greenhouse gases in our entire economy. So if we can get more people in electric vehicles and make them affordable, if we can create more transit options so you don't need
Starting point is 00:44:30 a vehicle at all in order to get to where you're going, if we can improve the energy grid after things like what we saw in Texas, right, that's infrastructure. All of those things add up to a better climate future, too. And it's absolutely a question of generational opportunity. We have more with Secretary Pete Buttigieg when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Secretary Pete Charlamagne. How can we ensure that the American jobs plan directly helps black people? Because we see a lot of times these plans, you know,
Starting point is 00:45:07 it don't trickle down to the black people the way it should. How can we make sure it directly impacts black people? Yeah, I think this is really important, and it's not going to be automatic that it goes well. I mean, this is why we need to make sure we have things like apprenticeship programs. We need to work with organized labor to make sure there are more pathways into these jobs. These are good jobs with middle class incomes. By the way, most of the jobs we're talking about creating here will not require a college degree.
Starting point is 00:45:36 And so this is a great way for people to get a start in life or to raise a family. There's definitely some engineering jobs that will be created that require degrees, PhDs, but a lot of this, we're talking about, these are not mysterious jobs. And we're talking about construction work, we're talking about insulators, we're talking about electrical workers. And we know that there could and should and need to be more black representation in those skilled trades. So part of it's that, part of it's the kinds of business ownership that gets in on this. We need to build, and there's an example of doing this through infrastructure, actually in Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:46:12 So a generation ago, part of how Mayor Maynard Jackson helped build a black middle class in that city was by making sure when they had a major infrastructure project for the airport that a business community with a lot of diverse ownership got in on that. My department alone procures $6 or $7 or $8 billion in a year directly, in addition to all the money that flows through here. So the business opportunity here is enormous, but we've got to make sure that we're supporting those businesses as they grow. So we're doing what we can. I was just going to say, we're doing what
Starting point is 00:46:49 we can already within the law. So for example, we just put out a billion dollar grant program where we as a department set criteria telling the communities what we're looking for, and they come to us with projects and then we fund them. And in that program, for the first time in this way, we're explicitly saying we want racial equity to be one of the things that you are considering and explaining when you bring that program, the grants in that program to us. Same thing with another program called Build, which is about $887 million. We put it out soon after I took this office, and now we're going through the application. So there's a lot we can do that's consistent with the law now. But if we pass this new law that the president's proposing, it's a different level of investment, and the benefits
Starting point is 00:47:36 are huge. Yeah, I was just going to say, when it comes to the construction, you got to highlight McKissick & McKissick. They're a black owned construction company owned by a black woman. So make sure she gets one of those contracts as well. And I want to switch gears a little bit, too. You know, you're you're you're a veteran, right? Yeah. So when you see what happened to Lieutenant Karen Nasrio, I think I'm pronouncing his name right. In Virginia at the hands of the police. How did that make you feel? I don't know that I have words for how it makes me feel. I mean, everybody says that they stand with those who wear the police. How did that make you feel? I don't know that I have words for how it makes me feel. I mean, everybody says that they stand with those who wear the uniform, right? We say
Starting point is 00:48:09 support our troops. And then you see one of our troops in uniform being treated that way. And it is so opposite of the basic idea that we stand up for those who stand up for us. And in another era, when I'm sure that was happening just as much, we wouldn't know about it, right? Because there wouldn't be footage of it. Now we do. And it's one more fact that confronts America as we have this national conversation about whether this is going to continue. Does this administration really care about holding police accountable? Absolutely. I mean, that's why this administration, for example,
Starting point is 00:48:51 is pushing for the George Floyd Policing Act to be passed, the House passed it. We need to get that through the Senate Act. I mean, this country is not whole until something changes. And I think, I know that's important to the president. It's important, I think, to everybody in this administration. And the country will be hurting until we can fix this. But when does it stop? It seems like it's the same scenario over and over and over and over again.
Starting point is 00:49:18 It just seems like there's no accountability and nothing ever changes. Well, there has to be accountability. And again, that's part of what needs to change in terms of reforms. Look, we get that a lot of the decisions are local, but there's also a national climate, a national culture, and there are national laws like the George Floyd Act that would make a difference here. I mean, we're up against the entire history
Starting point is 00:49:37 of this country, right? It's before the founding of this country. We're up against 400 years. But I really believe that it has to change in our lifetime or the country doesn't make it. And man, Pete, I know you got a hard out, so I want to respect that. So I just want to say, man, I want to salute you because one thing I think Democrats suck at is engaging with their audience outside of election cycles. Like we only see them when they want us to vote, which I think
Starting point is 00:50:00 is a huge mistake. And it says a lot that with all the black people around Joe Biden who came here during election cycles, that the first person we've heard from since the administration has been in the White House is you. So thank you for valuing, you know, our audience. Absolutely. Well, I'm honored to be with you. I'll come by any time. I got one question. You know, gun control. You know, we seems like there's a mass shooting every other week. But we talk about it all the time. A lot of the times people that purchase these guns purchase it legally, but they have problems. They have mentally they have mental health problems. How are we looking on making sure these gun code, these gun control laws are a lot more serious and a lot more protecting of the regular people?
Starting point is 00:50:41 Yeah, I mean, we're waking up to news again. It's in my home state, Indianapolis. We'll see where it is tomorrow. And there's the mass shootings, and then there's the everyday shootings. And we're the only country that seems to tolerate this as routine. So, you know, Congress needs to act. We need to act on background checks.
Starting point is 00:50:57 We need to act on a lot of things. But what the president did was use his executive authority to at least do what we could to do things about, for example, these kits that you can assemble into guns. And another thing that's in there, to your question, is a model red flag law. So the idea of a red flag law is that if a family is concerned about someone who has these mental health issues, they can go through a process to make sure that they don't have access to a weapon. We should be very clear that in places where guns are more widely available to people with mental health struggles, there are more gun suicides. Not all suicide attempts are alike, and we're more likely to lose somebody to suicide
Starting point is 00:51:37 if they have access to a gun. So we should at least be able to agree on this much. I haven't been in Washington for long, but I'm learning one thing about this place is sometimes things that people agree on around the country, in both parties, whether it's infrastructure or whether it's background checks on guns, it doesn't quite work that way in Congress. progress. It's got to have some kind of impact. If you go in front of the Capitol right now, the lawn is planted with flags, each one of which represents people who have been lost to gun violence. And it's another one of those things that if we can't change it on the watch of the generations now in charge, then we never will. So it's now or never. And we just can't ever get used to it, even though I think we've gotten used to it. Now, Secretary Pete, you came up here and you told us your story and you talked about how difficult it was for you to come out when you were starting.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Have you watched The Bachelor, seen The Bachelor with Colton Underwood and how difficult it was for him to come out? Did you see that yet or no? I'm just just kidding. I saw something about it on Twitter, but I haven't caught up on it yet. OK, just curious. That's all. All right. Well, thank you so much for joining us, Secretary Pete. We appreciate you. Unless you've got time. How much more time you got? I really do have to go now. Okay.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Just making sure. All right. Because, you know, we still got to talk about why they're trying to suppress the black vote, but we'll talk about that another time. There's a lot to talk about there, but yeah, we'll catch you again in the future. My man. Thank you. Thank you, Secretary Pete.

Starting point is 00:54:01 I just got off the phone with Black Rob's manager. what's his name uh let me say i'll tell you the brother's name um i met him a couple of times uh his name is jamal mosley jay jamal mosley okay what is he talking about um no he just heard us talking and he was just talking about what was going down and what happened and i forgot that i guess me and black rob i got into it a long time ago and he was like you know i want to judge you bro why you know that you get into it with everybody i know i don't even remember me getting getting getting into it with people you'd be getting touched up about it but he was like yeah you know we've seen each other in the elevator and it was
Starting point is 00:54:35 so much tension and they wanted to squash but i don't even remember what it was it had to be something stupid some mixtape stuff but he was just telling me that a lot of the things that we're hearing in the press is absolutely false and uh he said that uh he wants to you know speak of what's really going on but he just said he wants to talk to the family first make sure the family's aware that he is going to speak and that's what i'm talking about that's why he said no and he said that um he said uh one thing that he will say is he says you know people say where's puff where's puff he says puff has always been there he says puff hasuff has always helped. Puff has always sent care packages. He says Puff even flew
Starting point is 00:55:07 Rob to Miami to try to help and just try to keep him with some positive energy. Now what is a Puff care package now? Because if I need a kidney and you're sending me liquor. Some bread to make sure he was okay. Puff care packages be daily on in Sirocco. No, it wasn't no liquor or nothing like that. He was making sure that the buffer was good.
Starting point is 00:55:24 And he said Puff was taking care of him. Well, that's good to hear because there's this narrative out there that Puff hasn't done anything for his artist and he hasn't helped him. But that's good to hear. No, he said that's not true. He said Puff did take care of him. And not recently, he said for years, he said Puff did take care of him. And he said that most of the GoFundMe that you see out there,
Starting point is 00:55:40 he is shutting down and shut down. He said because they didn't speak to anybody. They didn't speak to the family. They didn't because, you know, they didn't speak to anybody. They didn't speak to the family. They didn't speak to the estate. They didn't speak to anybody. Did I not ask that question this morning? All I wanted to know this morning, what is the family saying?
Starting point is 00:55:52 Because I'm not hearing anything from the family. But I'm seeing all of these people post GoFundMes and asking for money to buy a house and pay for his funeral expenses. And I'm like, well, who are they clearing this through? He said he said a lot more. But he definitely said, you know, he'll speak to the family first, and if the family says it's okay, he will, you know, jump on it and see what's going on, which is the right thing. That's the right thing to do, and every single person
Starting point is 00:56:13 who has posted a GoFundMe about Black Rob, I know your heart may be in the right place, but you got to go and ask the family first. Absolutely. And, you know, so he just wanted to give me an update. He heard us talking this morning and just wanted to update some of the things. But he said, you know, he will definitely reach out next week. I was on the phone until we just got on. It is, man, there's so much going on, but definitely condolences to Rob's family and friends and and, you know, just just continue to pray for the family and everything like that.
Starting point is 00:56:39 All right. Sheesh. All right. Now we we got rumors on the way, Yee. What are we talking about? Yes, we'll be talking about DMX and the public memorial service they'll be having to honor him. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Listen up. It's just in.
Starting point is 00:56:56 All it got. Got. The Rumor Report. Got. Got. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Issa Rae is on the cover for Rolling Stone,
Starting point is 00:57:11 and she's talking about the inspiration behind her rap-ish comedy series. As you know, and I'm excited to see this. You know, this is actually going to start filming this summer. It'll be eight episodes from HBO Max, and it's also executive produced by Coach K and P from Quality Control, as well as the City Girls. It's about two childhood friends trying to get in the rap game. It's loosely based on their lives, the City Girls.
Starting point is 00:57:36 And this is what inspired Issa Rae. It's Jermaine Dupri talking about women in hip hop. Do you have a favorite right now in the rap game? Cardi B, Nicki, Megan Thee Stallion. Well, I can't really say. Not a Cardi B fan? No, but you know the reason why I can't say is because I feel like they're all rapping about the same thing, and I don't feel like they're, I don't think they're showing us who's the best rapper.
Starting point is 00:57:55 It's like strippers rapping, and I don't, I don't, as far as rap goes, I don't, I'm not getting who is the best rapper. I don't know, bro. JT be snapping, bro. Drop on the Clues Bonds with JT from the City Girl. JT be snapping. Meg be snapping, too. But JT be snapping, snapping.
Starting point is 00:58:15 Yeah, I mean, there was a lot of controversy when Jermaine Dupri made those comments. And Issa Rae said, I was just like, this is so unfair. So that's what inspired her new show. Have they started shooting yet? They start this summer. Man, I hope they cast Pretty V, man. Pretty V would be so perfect on that show. Drop on the clues bombs for Pretty V.
Starting point is 00:58:33 But I can't wait to see what Issa cooks up. All right. Now, DMX will be honored at a public memorial service at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. So that's going to happen later on this month. And so, yeah, just letting you guys know, because I know a lot of people have been saying, if I want to pay respect to DMX, how can I do that? So we'll have those details for you as they are coming in.
Starting point is 00:58:56 They had a ride out this city this Sunday where Rough Riders had like a huge burrow-to-burrow ride. I've seen a lot of people riding out this weekend for DMX. They had thousands of bikes out there. Right, and Meek Mill also said that he wants to ride out for DMX in the New York area as well. So that's what he had said, and then there was. All right, in addition to that, DMX's fiance has opened up about her loss. Desiree Lindstrom is her name.
Starting point is 00:59:21 And she posted, the first night we met and you held me close, I knew I would never let go. I was lost in you and nothing else mattered. My best friend, my baby, my love, truly my everything. Thank you for us. Thank you for Exodus. Thank you, God, for Earl Simmons. Forever, X. So she also has a large tattoo, which says dog love,
Starting point is 00:59:40 which sits over a large X. So they have a four-year-old son together, Exodus. So we want to send her our love and condolences as well. Definitely sending her healing energy. Now, Sharon Osbourne has done her first TV appearance since leaving her daytime talk show. And she talks to Bill Maher on real time. Here's what she says.
Starting point is 01:00:01 How are you? It's so many different things. I'm angry. I'm hurt. Who's the racist and why? This is what I'm trying to figure out. Me too. I've been called so many things in my life. I am so used to being called names,
Starting point is 01:00:15 but a racist is one I will not take. I don't understand the other side of the argument there. In other words, like, you have to agree with everything Meghan Marklele says or you're a racist uh okay i didn't watch that whole interview but i'll be interested to see what actually happened with bill maher and i don't know if that's what classified her as a racist because she didn't agree with megan markle i find it hilarious that uh they keep saying that's the first time sharon has spoken since this situation has happened.
Starting point is 01:00:46 They just straight up erased Kevin Frazier's interview, and Kevin Frazier was out here caping for Sharon Hall. Well, I think it's... They just erased him. We didn't know. When she did that interview, I don't think she was let go or left the show, the talk yet.
Starting point is 01:00:59 So I think they're saying this is the first time since she's been off the... Oh, since leaving the talk. Oh, since leaving the show, right? Yeah. Oh, okay. All right. Yeah, so that news came out after that. All right. Now, little Nas X, there was some backlash last week after a video surfaced of his mother soliciting money with a sign in Atlanta.
Starting point is 01:01:14 And his father did come to his defense. And, you know, now he also has said, I hate speaking on my personal life. But y'all don't know how many nights I've cried myself to sleep feeling guilty because nothing I tried would help my mom paint me as the bad guy all you want but at the end of the day you know me outside of this you don't know me outside of this internet ish so if y'all saw that video and people were saying oh look at how little Nas X and that was wacky dude that did that man whoever taped his mom like that that was wack that whack. All right, and Lil Nas X also answered some questions that kids had about coming out of the closet, and it was posted on a recent episode of the
Starting point is 01:01:51 YouTube show Arts and Raps. Here's what it sounded like. What does it mean to come out of the closet? It means you're like, hey, everybody, I'm this thing, and you guys didn't even know that, but now you know. Why are people in the closet in the first place? We think about what other people think about us, so once we tell somebody we're this thing or that thing their mind shifts completely and it doesn't it doesn't matter how close you are to them or whatever all right i think and you
Starting point is 01:02:16 know you put out a new t-shirt line i don't know if you guys had a chance to see this but one of the shirts says um i heard jesus and then under it it says and that one part in the Montero music video by Lil Nas X when he gets nasty with the devil because it was a cool form of self expression and art and then he has another shirt yeah that's all on a t-shirt? yes and then he has another shirt that says I watched the Montero
Starting point is 01:02:38 video by Lil Nas X and all I got was this Laji shirt and now I'm also gay and love Satan so those are what? all that ain't on the damn t-shirt. Why you just be making stuff up for the report, Yee? It is. I don't believe Shelby said it's subservient to the group chat. How does all that fit on a t-shirt?
Starting point is 01:02:54 It's a smaller print underneath because... Then underneath it's really small, but yes. What do y'all think about that? I just thought about myself in some great sweatpants. Everything you said just could apply to me in great sweatpants. What, tiny as hell? Tiny print.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Print small as hell. Oh, pookie, pookie, pookie. Mini me. Getting nasty with the devil. Alright, well that is it. Enough of that. You said everything I said. Nope. Alright, well that is your rumor report. Goodness gracious, alright. God damn, it's a real t-shirt. It's like the thing that they I told you. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Goodness gracious. All right.
Starting point is 01:03:25 God damn, it's a real T-shirt. It's like the thing that they... I told you. You know, when you look at the doctor's office and you got to do the eye test? Yeah, that's exactly what it's like. All right. Well, who are you giving that donkey to, man? We need a young woman named Liliana Carrillo to come to the front of the congregation

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. 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.
Starting point is 01:05:14 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. Like, grace. Have grace with yourself.

Now, I've been told a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the Day is a new one. Yes, Donkey of the Day for Monday, April 19th,
Starting point is 01:07:11 goes to a Bakersfield, California woman named Liliana Carrillo. I think I pronounced her name right. I hate to start the week off so dark. Calling these twisted humans like Liliana donkeys feels like such an understatement. But here we are. Okay, the world as we know it has been turned inside out. It's like we all woke up in an alternate universe. Common sense is not common.
Starting point is 01:07:31 Right is looked at as wrong and vice versa. Good is looked at as evil and vice versa. And God, what is that? People hear you talking about believing in God and can't wait to tell you how much they don't believe in God. And their actions show it. So when you see stories like Liliana Carrillo, you can't even be surprised because based off everything else we are seeing in this world, you know, without a shadow of a doubt that she believes the BS coming out of her mouth. See Liliana Carrillo.
Starting point is 01:07:57 How can I say this? She killed all her kids. Three of them ages six months, two and three years old. Yes, I just said that. Liliana Carrillo killed all of her kids. Ages six months, two and three years old. Would you like to know why? Let's go to KGET NBC 17 for the report, please.
Starting point is 01:08:17 The suspect in a horrific Los Angeles murder admits to 17 News she killed her three children. Liliana Carrillo made the confession to Seventeen's Eitan Wallace. Did you kill your children? I did. I drowned them. I hugged them and I kissed them and I was apologizing the whole time. I love my kids. Carrillo broke down in tears, saying she drowned her children to protect them from their father, with whom she was in a bitter custody dispute. She alleged he was involved in human trafficking. I don't want them to be further abused. I love my kids. Like I said, I wish that this didn't have to be the case, but I wasn't going to allow...
Starting point is 01:08:56 I promised to protect them. Last month, the children's father asked a court to require Carrillo to undergo a mental health evaluation. He also told the LA Times he tried to get help for Carrillo to undergo a mental health evaluation. He also told the LA Times he tried to get help for Carrillo from child protective authorities, but added they did not immediately get involved. The father was supposed to see the children Sunday, but the day before, authorities say the children's grandmother discovered the bodies of three-year-old Joanna, two-year-old Terry, and six-month-old Sierra at this apartment in Reseda. Bakersfield prosecutors say later in the day, Carrillo's car broke down as she drove through Kern County. When a good Samaritan stopped to
Starting point is 01:09:29 help, she allegedly stole his car. I tried getting to the top of a cliff so I can drive myself off and die. But before she could carry that out, she was arrested a couple hours later in Tulare County. Heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy, heavy. So you killed your three kids because you were trying to protect them from their father. Okay, let's unpack this. As my therapist would say, Eric Denton, who is the father of the children, as you heard in the news report, petitioned the court for custody on March 1st, alleging that Carrillo was delusional and had taken the kids and refused to tell them where they were. Carrillo then filed a restraining order against her baby daddy and claimed Denton was an alcoholic
Starting point is 01:10:07 who may have sexually abused their eldest child. Bunch of tit for tat. Now, this case went all through family courts in L.A. counties. The parents, you know, traded accusations back and forth. There's dozens of court documents. You know, police were called. Social workers consulted. They saved text messages and Facebook posts.
Starting point is 01:10:24 And just last week, a judge agreed to move the case to to lair county where a hearing was scheduled for this wednesday but clearly that won't be happening now it's so much that's sad about this situation number one that these kids are dead number two that all of this could have been prevented if people actually took eric denton the baby daddy more serious the father. A lot of times in these cases, nobody wants to listen to the man. The mom, the woman is automatically looked at as the one who is right, who has to be the victim of some sort. I've seen it a dozen times. I got homeboys who've been accused of violence or abuse in these custody cases simply because a lot of women and lawyers know that that is the way to win these cases. Eric Denton, the baby daddy, claimed in custody hearings that Liliana Carrillo suffered from postpartum depression, along with other mental health issues.
Starting point is 01:11:10 He said this. Were his claims taken seriously? Clearly not. But I bet you, due to his claims, Liliana's defense attorney will use those claims to prove she's mentally unfit to stand trial. Do we not see how effed up the judicial system is when Eric Denton is telling the court his baby mother is delusional, has postpartum and suffers from mental health issues in order to get custody of the kids? It's a back and forth. It's not taking it serious as it should be. But now after she kills the kids and needs to defend herself in court,
Starting point is 01:11:38 those same claims will probably be used to get her off. Men need to be taken more serious in child custody cases. If you see a man fighting to be in his child's life and telling you the court that something is off with the wife, listen to him. Okay, here's the thing. Men don't want to do this. Most men I know who are fighting for custody of their kids, they want it to be an equal thing. Dads just want equal custody rights most of the time, 50-50. So when you see a man trying to get full custody of their kids, I'm telling you, he knows something is wrong.
Starting point is 01:12:06 All right. There is a lot of gender bias in these custody cases. One common assumption is that women are more nurturing and natural caretakers than men. Me, Brother Lenard, Uncle Charlotte, Charlemagne, the God. I believe that. So when I hear a man saying that that's not the case, I'm going to listen. But it's because of that stereotype that courts are almost always biased toward women during a custody battle. Well, look what that bias got us in the case of Liliana Carrillo. She killed her kids because she wanted to protect them from the father. I had to look up the definition of protection just to make sure I know what protection still means. Protection means a person or thing that prevents someone or something from suffering
Starting point is 01:12:43 harm or injury. Not to mention, they asked her if she had any regrets. Listen to what she said. Do you regret your actions? I wish my kids were alive, yes. So I wish that I didn't have to do that, yes. But I prefer them not being tortured and abused on a regular basis for the rest of their life. I love my kids. Like I said, I wish that this didn't have to be the case.
Starting point is 01:13:09 I promise to protect them. The worst the father could do to those kids is what you did to them. And that's killed him. Please give Liliana Carrillo the biggest seahawk. Tragic, tragic situation. Yes, it is. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Starting point is 01:13:31 So sad. That made me cry. Yeah. Let's let's let's lighten it up a little bit. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Now, he has been talking about this story behind the scenes about Lizzo. What happened with Lizzo? Well, she put out this these emoji showing that she was shooting her shot. It was three emojis. It was like a gust of
Starting point is 01:13:48 wind, somebody, a woman playing basketball and a basketball emoji. So she sent that to Chris Evans. Obviously a lot of women like Chris Evans. Who's Chris Evans? He's an actor. He was just in Knives Out. Did you see that? No. Okay. Knives Out. All right. So a lot of girls like Chris Evans. So anyway, he actually did just respond last night. So she's really excited about that. But, you know, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, right? That's what they always say.
Starting point is 01:14:18 So I'm wondering, has anybody ever tried to shoot their shot and it's actually worked out like it did for Lizzo? And now he's following her on Instagram he sent her a message he said no shame in a drunk DM and he put a little face kissing emoji he said God knows I've done worse on this app and then he sent a little LOL you talking about Chris Evans Captain America Chris Evans yeah Captain America
Starting point is 01:14:38 okay so we have Lizzo speaking about it too right can we get the audio Lizzo the reason I'm upset about this one is because I know I'm not going to be able to marry him. And honestly, it hurts me to the core because damn, Papa, he a rare breed. But he did respond. He did respond after that. He did respond after that.
Starting point is 01:14:58 But she was just a little, you know, she put it on her TikTok that she shot her shot at him. And then he did respond. I just read it to you. No shame in a drunk DM. God knows I've done worse on this app, LOL. And he's also following her. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines.

Starting point is 01:16:49 When I try to book people for things or, like, get something, it does work. And I'm so reluctant to ever ask people for anything or ask for help. But, you know, maybe it should be times when you're a little more aggressive and just send out that little, like, hey, we'd love to get you on lip service. Hey, we'd love to get you on this Wealth Wednesdays. And it has worked out for me before. Well, you're talking about relationship shots. But let's go to the photos.

Long story short, I've been following this girl for, let's say, two, three years. I shot my shot. Six years later, we're married with one kid and have another one on the way. There you go.
Starting point is 01:18:00 Tell us what you say. What did you say? You jumped in a DM? What happened? So I jumped in a DM at first, and she was ignoring me for a couple of months. And then she hit me back up. And it's been, you know, half the year after from there. So if you're listening to this, shoot your shot.
Starting point is 01:18:16 So you missed 100% of the shots you're going to take. Okay. Right, right. I know that's right. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's Sweet. What's up? What's up, bro? We're asking, have you ever shot your shot with somebody on social media and it worked out?
Starting point is 01:18:29 On social media? No, but I've done it in real life. What happened? Uh, I was smashed. This happened, remember? Oh my gosh. She said, yeah, I was smashed. I was smashed, yo. This is terrible.
Starting point is 01:18:42 This happened around Hurricane Sandy time. Like right before that hurricane hit New York and all that, I was in Atlanta and I had just broken up with my ex-girlfriend and she had her flight delayed or whatever in Atlanta and she wanted to chill because she was scared, whatever. Anyway, I go see her, she leaves, and now I'm stuck in Atlanta for the weekend with
Starting point is 01:19:08 nothing to do. So I go bar hopping. And when I go bar hopping, I see this chick. Just model chick. Can you get to it, sir? I'm nervous. I'm sorry. I'm about to block you, bro.
Starting point is 01:19:22 We start talking. We hit it off. And when we hit it off, she ended up coming back to the hotel. She probably does. I don't know. I'm about to block you, bro. She probably thought, I don't know, what's happening in hurricanes? Hurricanes hit, this could be our last days. Pretty much, I guess. That's crazy. It was nothing else to do. And I was bar hopping.
Starting point is 01:19:40 And I had like two or three Long Islands. I saw her. I did the whole, let me see, she wants to drink, we buy her a drink. And we started talking. She was like, you know what, most guys don't normally come up to me.
Starting point is 01:19:51 They're just, they're too scared to talk. And I was like, I didn't think you would say hi to me. And, well, she did. That liquid courage.
Starting point is 01:19:59 So basically, you had to tell her that she was about to die in order for her to sleep with you. It worked, though, didn't it? It worked, though.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Goodness gracious. All right, man. didn't it? It worked, though. Goodness gracious. All right, man. 800-585-1051. Have you ever shot your shot with somebody on social media? And it worked. Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:20:15 I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. That can't hold you here with that. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club top.
Starting point is 01:20:26 Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Lizzo. You want to break down what happened with Lizzo Yee?
Starting point is 01:20:44 Yeah, she shot her shot at Chris Evans. Now, we don't know how much is going to come out of this, but we do know that A, he replied to her, and B, he is now following her. So that's just dope. All right, so we're asking 805-851051, have you ever shot your shot on social media? And it worked.
Starting point is 01:20:58 Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Yo, yo, yo, this Mike, man, from Tech Repeat. We're asking, have you ever shot your shot on social media anywhere, bro. Yeah, man, I shot my shot with my girl. I'm with now, man. It was one night, jumped out that energy. I had a shot in her inbox, man.
Starting point is 01:21:17 And everything they do is there. How did you do it? Did you know her before that? Was it a stranger? Oh, no, well, she was my, she was the football team mom of my son's football team. When I first met her, though, she cut me out. So about three months later, she got
Starting point is 01:21:31 the agency one night. I sent her an inbox and we together now have been over a year. We live together. I proposed to her about a couple of months. Everything's good. Yes. That is cute. And your kids played on the team together That's so cute Shout out to my baby Gina, I love you
Starting point is 01:21:48 Okay Alright, well let's go to another caller Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning, we're asking Have you ever shot your shot with somebody in the work? Yes, I did So back in 2015 On New Year's Eve
Starting point is 01:22:01 I shot my shot at my fiance On Snapchat And I just said Happy New Year's Eve, I shot my shot at my fiance on Snapchat and I just said Happy New Year and then after that, we just started talking and started dating and now four years later,
Starting point is 01:22:12 we're engaged. Wow. That's dope. Yeah. Off on my little Happy New Year. So was that you trying to holler at him
Starting point is 01:22:19 or? Yeah. To be honest, like I always kind of had my eye on him but he was always in a relationship every time like I saw him on like Instagram and stuff. Or? Yeah, to be honest, like, I always kind of had my eye on him. But he was always in a relationship every time, like, I saw him on, like, Instagram and stuff. And then I just noticed, like, I was kind of, like, lurking on Instagram. And I was like, oh, wait, he's not with a female right now.
Starting point is 01:22:35 So I just shot my shot that night and it worked. Wow. Okay, that's cute. And that's good because it's not like you're being too aggressive. You're just like, hey, happy new year. And that's a good little conversation starter. It's innocent. Mm-hmm. And that's good because it's not like you're being too aggressive. You're just like, hey, happy new year. And that's a good little conversation starter. It's innocent. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:22:48 And that's the funny part. I was like, I don't know if this is going to work. And he actually opened it. So. All right. Let's see all these success stories. Again, you got to just put yourself out there sometimes. Yes, that's true.
Starting point is 01:23:02 All right. Well, thank you, Mama. Now, what's the moral of the story, if there is a moral? I think we've been saying it from the beginning. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. The worst thing that could happen is you left on read, and the person doesn't respond to you. But the best thing that can happen is some of the success stories we just heard now.
Starting point is 01:23:17 People getting married, people living together, about to get engaged. I don't know nothing about shooting those shots. I'm retired, man. You know what I'm saying? My knees been gave out on me. My jersey been in the rafters. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:23:30 Go for it respectfully. But you can also shoot your shot when it comes to business, when it comes to work. It doesn't just have to be relationships. But again, if you don't even go for it, it'll never happen. There you go. All right.
Starting point is 01:23:41 Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes. And let's talk about porn addiction. We'll tell you what actor is saying that porn addiction was difficult for him to overcome. And he feels like there's a lack of information about it. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 01:24:03 We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jake Paul. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
Starting point is 01:24:18 All right. Well, if anybody watched this fight over the weekend, it was Jake Paul versus former MMA fighter Ben Askren. I did not. The trailer fight club rings Saturday night and a lot of people are saying they believe that it was rigged after Jake Paul knocked Askren out in the first round but prior to that fight Pete Davidson
Starting point is 01:24:36 and Jack Harlow went to go see Jake Paul in the locker room and things got uncomfortable for Jake Paul as this line of questioning happened. What was I going to ask you about? I was like, so how are you feeling? Like, how are you? Bro, you can't joke around about that.
Starting point is 01:24:50 No, I'm not. I'm not. No. Like, are you good? I'm good. I'm good, bro. I'm good. What's popping with that? Nothing. What got bleeped out? Now, what he was asking him about was the sexual assault allegations that he's facing.
Starting point is 01:25:06 And so that was a question that Pete Davidson asked. Now, when you, yeah, right when you see it, you know, it's bleeped out now when you see it online. And last week, Jake Paul had posted about these accusations and he said, it's not something that I or anyone should ever take lightly, but to be crystal clear, this claim made against me is 100% false. Not only have I never had any sexual relationship with this individual, but this claim is solely a manufactured accusation and a blatant attempt for attention during a highly visible fight week.
Starting point is 01:25:31 Pete has the right to ask and Jake Paul has the right to not answer. So I respect it all. I started to order that fight this weekend, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I saw $49.99. I'm like, there's no way in hell I'm paying $49.99 for this fight. I just couldn't see myself doing that. I just didn't feel right. I'm like, there's no way in hell I'm paying $49.99 for this fight. I just couldn't see myself doing that.
Starting point is 01:25:46 I just didn't feel right. I'm a boxing guy. I love boxing, but that ain't it, bro. $49.99? Nah. I can't do it. All right, now, Kevin Durant was asked to name the top five players he's ever played with during an appearance on a million dollars worth of game podcast.
Starting point is 01:26:04 And here's what was said. Top five players you ever played with during an appearance on a million dollars worth of game podcast and here's what was said tough outplayers you ever played with kairi james steph clay i'm gonna go sergi barker i thought somebody else was going to be from la but that's all i'm just all right so i forgot somebody south central la russell oh. I am tripping. Russ, yeah, I'm tripping. Yeah, I'm just making sure. You know what I mean? Because this game ain't mine.
Starting point is 01:26:28 I did forget about Russ. Russ would definitely be top five. First of all, drop on the clues bombs for Wallo and Gilly. Okay, million dollars worth of game is out here cooking. But KD know what he doing. Okay, KD knew what he was doing with that answer. And salute to Gillo and Wally for cutting out that end part when y'all posted it on social media, because I didn't even see
Starting point is 01:26:46 him mention Russell at all in those clips y'all posted last night. So that was great marketing. Some people felt like maybe KD was trolling because he's known to do things like that. Of course he was. Maybe in that moment he really just wasn't thinking. You don't forget
Starting point is 01:27:01 Russell Westbrook. You played for him for a while long, had a crazy breakup. Like, no, he knows that. He was trolling. All right, and three-time NBA champion Dwayne Wade has purchased an ownership stake in the Utah Jazz. He's joining majority owner and team governor Ryan Smith, and his plan is to take an active role in the franchise and region.
Starting point is 01:27:18 So he said, this goes way beyond the dream. I had to just play basketball in the NBA. I've seen Shaq do it in Sacramento. I've seen Grant Hill do it in Atlanta. I've seen Grant Hill do it in Atlanta. I've seen Jordan do it in Charlotte. If this partnership is going to be anything, there are going to be a lot of things that I want to be involved in.
Starting point is 01:27:34 I don't know what you just said, but it sounded like congratulations. Yeah, it sounded like you just said congrats. Dropping a clues bomb for D-Wick. I didn't know Shaq had a minority ownership in Sacramento. I didn't know that either. I knew in Sacramento. I didn't know that either. I knew about Grand Hill in Atlanta and the other one. Who else did he say?
Starting point is 01:27:48 Michael Jordan, man. Yeah, of course I knew about Jordan. I didn't know about Shaq in Sacramento. I didn't know about Shaq either. I wonder if Usher still owns a bit of Cleveland. He was a minority owner in the Cavs at one point. Nelly was too, wasn't he? Nelly was a minority owner in the Hornets.
Starting point is 01:28:00 All right. Now Post Malone has become the youngest artist with three diamond singles. So that's another congratulations to him. One of the songs is Congratulations with Quavo. Rockstar with 21 Savage and Sunflower with Sway Lee. They've all crossed the 10 million sales threshold. Never heard them. I'm sure they sound good.
Starting point is 01:28:20 Never heard them. Congrats. All right. And Lil Durk, his concert ended early after people thought that they heard gunfire, but it wasn't. So let's be clear on that. I know there was like some rumors going around that, but they said there was various videos that were posted showing people running to the exit, tears getting knocked over. But they said it was just a microphone dropping on the ground, which made a loud noise. They said no gunshots, no nothing.
Starting point is 01:28:46 Reports of a woman being grazed by a bullet are also false. Nobody required paramedic attention amidst the chaos. There's nobody in custody, nothing like that. You can never be too sure nowadays. Okay, duck first, ask questions later. Yeah, there was 10,000 people there. Over 10,000 people at that performance. Smirkchella.
Starting point is 01:29:01 Alright, Mark Anthony, his worldwide virtual concert failed due to technical problems. No, no, you should just end it at failed. Why you laughing? Why you laughing, man? Can we just end it at failed? Dramos is so pissed right now. He's stupid, man.
Starting point is 01:29:13 Can we just end it at failed? First of all, I had no idea Angelina was doing a Mark Anthony story. I've been giving Dramos hell about Mark Anthony in this studio all morning long for no reason. How dare you? Have I not? I don't even know why. I was just saying Mark Anthony could never. He's a damn hater. That's morning long for no reason. How dare you? Have I not? I don't even know why. I was just saying Mark Anthony could never. He's a damn hater.
Starting point is 01:29:28 For no reason. Scott's crazy. Damn hater. Now, the concert was supposed to stream in 85 countries, but there wasn't a frame of video to show for it at all. He posted, first of all, I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the unprecedented amount of fans from all over the world that tried to log in to watch my concert tonight and were not able to join due to the overwhelming demand that caused a complete collapse of the streaming platform. I'm deeply sorry for this technology failure that was unfortunately out of our control.
Starting point is 01:29:58 You can rest assured that I'm doing everything in my power to make sure the people that spent their hard-earned money have the opportunity to see the show as soon as possible, and I'll make it right for you all. That's the cleanup on our three. I think that nobody showed up. The demand was too high. Being that nobody showed up, they're trying to flip it that the demand is too high. No, that's what it is. Mark Anthony looks like an x-ray of a skeleton. That's my final answer.
Starting point is 01:30:19 What does that have to do with anything? Nothing. What does his looks have to do with anything? Did you tune in this weekend, Dramos? What happened? Exactly. You couldn't. You ain't even support your own people.
Starting point is 01:30:29 Ladies, ladies, ladies. I ain't even support your own people, Dramos. Damn. Shut up, man. Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss E. Tell Mark Anthony to do the ski challenge, man.
Starting point is 01:30:45 You're stupid. He don't need to do the ski challenge, man. You stupid. He don't need to do the ski challenge, bro. With a rolled up dollar bill and some cocaine. You show some damn respect. This is a diamond-selling artist, bro. Show some damn respect.
Starting point is 01:30:51 So why ain't nobody show up for his concert and just listen? He was over there doing the biggest streaming of all time. All right, guys. Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow.
