Starting point is 00:03:21 I don't like 95% ratchetedness. This is becoming the most prominent forum for you. Wake your ass up. Early in the morning, but they tell me it was y'all. I say, oh, hell yeah, I'm getting up. The world's most dangerous morning show. DJ Envy. Your people's choice.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Angela Yee. I'm a sweetheart, but I'll cut you. Charlamagne Tha God. Prince of Pissing People. I can't believe you guys are the best, kid. Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, USA. There's no one to respond to me.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Woo! Well, thank you. That's our producer, Q, who screamed out, woo! Woo! Now, Envy's on vacation. As we all know, we've been watching him and his family travel across the world in matching outfits. Usually Charlamagne should be here by now, but unfortunately he's running a little bit late. So I'm here.
Starting point is 00:04:21 All right, so how was your day yesterday, Angela? It was great. After I left here, I'm not going to lie, my house is the biggest mess it's ever been in my life. And I need some help. I have too many, I know, a young lady, Taylor, who works here, keeps on volunteering to come over and help me with certain things. And I want to get rid of a whole bunch of stuff,
Starting point is 00:04:38 but she never shows up. Or she'll call me and say, hey, I was going to come by today, but I only have 20 minutes before I have to be somewhere else. It's hard. I just got back from Memorial Weekend. I was working. I was in Punta Cana. I was hosting.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Good morning. Well, look who it is. Hey, guys. I was doing a monologue. A monologue? Yeah. What's today? Thursday. Thursday. June 2nd. Thursday, June 2nd, baby. Why are you so shiny? I look shiny? What happened to you? I don't know. Thursday. Thursday. June 2nd. Thursday, June 2nd, baby! Why are you so shiny?
Starting point is 00:05:07 I look shiny? Yeah, what happened to you? I don't know. Well, thank you. I don't know what the... I did just put on lotion, though, because I was walking in, and I looked down at my hand. You sure it wasn't KY jelly?
Starting point is 00:05:17 I had, like, some ash in the corner of my hand. Well, you overdid it. So when I saw the ash in the corner of my hand, I was like, damn, I'm dry. So I like to be moisturized. You are shiny. Nobody wants to be ashy. I lived, let me see.
Starting point is 00:05:30 I lived about 28 years of my life as an ashy Negro. And I don't want to be an ashy Negro. You know how Biggie said you went from ashy to classy? So I'm not ashy no more. I'm a very moisturized individual. You went from hiney to shiny. I look real shiny like that? You look so shiny.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Somebody bring some powder. Well? Well, it's time for the new movie, The Shining Part 2. Hey, man. Look at Charlamagne. He's shining. I look polished this morning. You definitely look polished.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that. Now, today on the show, we have my man DeRay. Oh. DeRay McKesson. Yes. Black Lives Matter. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:04 Founder. Very powerful voice out here in these streets. I really like that guy. He'll be here at 7 o'clock. What else we got, G? What's in front page news? We are going to talk about the UCLA shooter. What happened yesterday? Jesus.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Yes, on campus. Also, we'll talk about a middle school teacher who had to turn herself in. We'll tell you why. I saw that. Why do you sound like turned on by it? Because I was never that lucky when I was a tell you why. I saw that. Why do you sound like turned on by it? Because I was never that lucky when I was a kid in school. I saw that. But, hey, it's the world's most dangerous morning show.
Starting point is 00:06:30 I don't know if that's lucky. Hey, he was lucky. She was kind of hot. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God, Angelique Yee. Envy is trekking around the world. And that was Drake One Dance, by the way. That sure was. It sure was.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Hold on. Okay. Front page news. The Cavs play the Warriors tonight at 9 Eastern on ABC. Tonight starts LeBron's trek to 2-5 in the NBA Finals. I know you said his trek. Yes. Okay. I know you LeBron James D-Riders
Starting point is 00:07:02 don't want that outcome, but hey, a lot of things we don't want in this world, but we have to accept the harsh reality that it's going to happen. Now, it was a murder-shooting suicide at UCLA? Yes, a student was upset over his grades, and that's when he stormed into the campus building and fatally shot his engineering professor. Come on now.
Starting point is 00:07:18 And then he killed himself. They saw him on surveillance video stalking through the campus. He had a long firearm, and he shot Professor William Klug at around 10 a.m. That's not how any of this works, kids. They said the whole campus just started running. Everybody was very confused. Professor Klug was married with two young children. He was a surfer.
Starting point is 00:07:35 He took his family to L.A. Dodger games all the time. And that's it. He was a 21-year-old student, Mewish Khan. Oh, no, Mewish Khan was a 21 year old student who was there. He was hiding in the library. He told everybody what was going on at that time. So you want to die a loser? You want to die a failure? You're mad at your grades
Starting point is 00:07:54 so instead of doing what most people are doing, they're upset at their grades, go study and do better? You'd rather just kill your professor than kill yourself? He also left a note too. We don't know what's in that note yet. They haven't released the contents of that note. You know grades are temporary, right? Like, you can always, like, just study harder, take the test over, make better grades, take the class over.
Starting point is 00:08:15 You do realize that. It's not the end of the world. It's not the end of the world. But now it is for you. Yeah, now it is for you because you're dead and then you took some other people with you. Like, that's just ridiculous to me. That's not how any of this works, Kasey. At all. Now, a teacher's pregnant by
Starting point is 00:08:27 a 13-year-old student? Well, I don't think she's pregnant anymore, but a 24-year-old teacher was having sex with a 13-year-old boy who was her student. She was having sex with him about every day for nine months. She told neighbors that it was her brother and she would sometimes have as many
Starting point is 00:08:44 as five teenage boys over at one time. What? She was getting trans-ran on her? The teacher? Hold on. We don't know that. Oh. But neighbors said they were drinking in the front of the yard. They would find beer bottles, beer cans on her side of the lawn. A lot of them were teenagers. They didn't look older than high school. Now, according to court documents, the teacher, Alexandria Vera, said that she and the victim love each other.
Starting point is 00:09:02 They had sex all the time. They met in summer school. And she actually says that she was introduced to the victim's parents as his girlfriend and that the parents were accepting of the relationship. They were very excited when she got pregnant. She would show up to family gatherings. But Child Protective Services showed up at the school to question Vera. They questioned the victim. And she said she got nervous and later on had an abortion.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Now, how old is she? Because she looked young. 24. 24? Yeah, when I looked at her, she looked like a curry. She had the Golden State Warriors t-shirt on and everything. She's a teacher though. You can't have sex with a 13-year-old boy. Hey, I bet you all them kids had good grades. Listen, it's still
Starting point is 00:09:38 wrong no matter what. You know what else was wrong? Sexual assault on a child. Sex abuse of a minor. You know what else was wrong? In fact, she didn't teach that young boy to wear condoms. Okay? 13 years old. No matter what, there's nothing acceptable about a 24-year-old woman having sex with a 13-year-old. Sorry. There's no
Starting point is 00:09:53 good way to spin this. But anyway, she is now under arrest. Her bond has been set at $100,000. She's in custody. So even if it's consensual... Because, you know, it's a young man at 13 having sex with a 24-year-old woman. He's a young boy. Yes, but you know, as a father... He's in custody. So even if it's consensual, because, you know, it's a young man at 13 having sex with a 24-year-old woman. He's a young boy. Yes, but, you know, as a father.
Starting point is 00:10:09 He's in eighth grade. As a father, you're like, wow. You wouldn't feel a little crazy if your 13-year-old teacher was having sex with them? They're not a teacher, look. Nah, that's ignorant. But anyway, that is your front page news. Now, we got to tell them why you're mad coming up next. You got to protect your children.
Starting point is 00:10:24 You say that all the time. Protect your kids. That's what I'm saying. The lines are a little news. Now, we got to tell them why you're mad coming up next. You got to protect your children. You say that all the time. Protect your kids. That's what I'm saying. The lines are a little blurred. No, it's not. When it's a 13-year-old boy, a horny little boy who's going to get some action anyway, and he's, you know, having sex with a 24-year-old. I mean, it's wrong because it's a teacher, but, you know.
Starting point is 00:10:37 She definitely took advantage of a young minor. Okay. Tell them why you're mad. 1-800-585-1051. Why are you pissed off this morning? Your herpes acting up? Huh? A little syphilis drip maybe?
Starting point is 00:10:49 You'll be okay, Charlamagne. Huh? I don't have any of those things. You'll be all right. A little shiny, you know? You are shiny. No powder. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:10:57 Powder. I don't do powder anyway. Yeah, you can't anymore after everything that happened with the Johnson & Johnson powder. What happened with Johnson & Johnson powder? I'll tell you about it off air. All right. What? You didn't hear about tell you about it off air. All right. What? You didn't hear about this?

Yes. Talk to me, bro. I feel like ever since Columbine, I feel like that was the origins of all this. And then people say Virginia Tech and all that, but I feel like if you're going to end up not
Starting point is 00:11:56 studying like Charlamagne said, not doing the positive pathway, you should take your own life instead of other people, you know what I mean? You shouldn't take your own life either. You shouldn't kill anybody. No, I agree. You know what I'm saying? If you were going to... Don't go kill your professor. Yeah, your professor's not the one upset.
Starting point is 00:12:11 He's doing his job. If you didn't pass, you didn't pass. You failed. You should be... Yeah, but that kid ain't thinking rational anyway, so... Yeah, clearly there's something wrong with this guy. That's why I don't like when people say professors failed them. No, you failed yourself. Yeah. That's it. You guys have a great morning.
Starting point is 00:12:26 You too. Thank you for your input. Good morning. Tell them why you mad. Tell us why you're mad this morning. Who's this? Yo, what's going on? It's Anthony in Miami.

Yo, I've been paying attention to all this Irving Plaza and all that stuff right and you see how how the whole story is turning you know i'm not gonna say no names or whatever you know the whole hip-hop community is getting affected by this now i see mad shows getting canceled yeah yo and then you
Starting point is 00:12:56 know y'all got the black lives um mad at people on today i see dudes you know what i'm saying they're doing interviews they talk about their past and everything. They're talking about how innocent people got shot when they were doing a, you know, doing a gangster thing in the streets and all that. I feel like we need to shame these dudes, yo, because, yo, I heard this dude tell a story about how a little girl got shot in the building after he was shooting. That ain't gangster. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:13:25 And then you see what happened here. You know, dude got killed, hit in the abdomen. They had to take out his intestines. I heard that on the Nori podcast. Things like that, man. Let's shame these dudes who want to be out here shooting. You know what I'm saying? If you're trying to make your life better,
Starting point is 00:13:41 let's leave the gangster stuff alone, man. You know what I'm saying? It's cool to tell stories and hip-hop and all that, but, yo, what are we doing to ourselves? That's why, you know what I'm saying? I feel like, what makes him any different than a Zimmerman? Listen, we got to stop respecting the shooter and start shaming the shooter.
Starting point is 00:13:57 We got to start thug-shaming. It ain't nothing gangster about being out here in these streets and taking penitentiary chances, because all you're going to do is end up in jail or dead. What's gangster is providing for your family, protecting for your family, getting a real job, going to school. That's what gangster really is.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Oh, you know what gangster is? Resolving problems without having to try to kill somebody. Word up. Exactly, man. Let's change this, man. Man, listen. Get that movement going. Let's change this.

Starting point is 00:14:35 Let's spread that word, man. Let's get this going, man, because, yo, it's sickening already, man. And you know what? It don't need to be getting shot. Innocent bystanders don't need to be getting shot for nothing, though. Period. I agree. And listen, when you're around that crowd, right, they look at stuff like Urban Plaza like it's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Like, they can't believe that situation happened. You be around your dudes in the hood, they act like that's normal. Yo, that's the way it goes. Yeah, that's what we do. That's what happens. No, that's not what happens. That's what I do. Come on, man.

What's good? Kodak Black is back in jail, man. What the f*** is going on? Yeah, I saw that. What's he in jail for? I saw French Montana posting him. Well, usually when you commit crimes, that's what happens, sir.
Starting point is 00:15:46 You said you like when your rappers is on board. What's up, Envy? Well, that's not Envy. That's Charlamagne, you bastard. And Envy never said that. I know that's Charlamagne, but I'm saying what's up to the... Envy's on vacation with his family right now. And let me clarify.
Starting point is 00:16:00 If you live that life and you're from that life and you're about that life, yes, I like when you continue to do your thing. What I don't like is these guys who ain't from that at all, who are just pretending to be that for profit. That's whacked me. Well, Kodak Black look like he's a product of his environment, for sure. Yes, he does.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Kodak Black had no choice either to be a rapper or a thug. One of the two. Bless up, man. I hope you come out because he making noise, man. Salute to Kodak Black. Don't know the guy, but salute to him. He has good music. I haven't heard any of it. You haven't heard his music?

Starting point is 00:16:48 Hey, I had the option to get a car or go to London for graduation. You got a car. Got a car. Now, I feel you on that. That makes sense. Now, you should have went to London. Now, I should have went to London. So, I'm a truck driver, man.
Starting point is 00:17:01 I'm out here driving for Walmart. I need your help, man. Talk to me, brother. I need a Drake intervention. Why? You like Drake? I hate Drake. But just like you said, man, I started listening to this new album and I'm starting to like it.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I'm singing. Oh, please give me time. I'm searching. Are you going through something in your life? There's nothing wrong with that, sir. Man, yes it is, Charles, man. I'm a dark-skinned, darkness, melanin brother. I should not be singing Drake in a truck, having people look at me all crazy. You have a girlfriend?
Starting point is 00:17:34 Are you in love? Yeah, yeah, I have a girlfriend. Well, that's why you like Drake, because you're in love. You're happy. I'm playing the Drake CD more than her. All you got to do is keep it to yourself. Now, next, you got to make sure you listen to that Beyonce Lemonade and blast that, too. Ah, s***.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Nah, she's ace down. She's ace down, so I'm going to get it. You know what Drake is? Drake is to guys now what Mary J. Blige used to be to women. When he sings, he is to guys now what Mary J. Blige used to be to women. Nothing wrong with your man liking Drake. You got to have a soundtrack for when you're in love, bro. When you're sprung.
Starting point is 00:18:07 And Drake provides that. And now you can do a little slow whine to some of those songs, okay? Yes, sir. I just don't like the new album, but I don't like when Drake sings.
Starting point is 00:18:15 And it's a lot of singing on this album. I don't like views, so. Me neither. You clearly like it. No, but you said it. You listen to it all the time and you're singing it.
Starting point is 00:18:24 You like it. It's okay. No, you said it the other day. You said, you know, it kind No, but you listen to it all the time and you're singing it. You like it. It's okay. No, you said it the other day. You said, you know, it kind of grows on you if you listen to it. Right, so you like it. I'm in a truck. I listen to it. Hey, maybe you're trans light skin. You're like a trans beige individual. Maybe it's a beige man
Starting point is 00:18:37 living inside of you. No, no. Not me. I'm dark as night. You're trans beige, bro. What's your favorite song on Views from the 6? Man, honestly, man, right now it's that redemption. Redemption's on your mind. Okay, that's right.
Starting point is 00:18:56 You're identifying as a light-skinned man, sir. What bathroom will you use? Have a blessed day, sir. You too, man. Peace to the planet. Peace. Don't try to say. Peace to the planet. Peace. Don't try to say no peace to the planet after that. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Well, that is Tell Him Why You Mad. You know we do this every single morning. Yes, indeed. Now, Angelia, you got rumors coming up? Hold on. Let the record show. Nobody had to tell me to do that. That was a natural radio transition.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Girl, slow down. Calm down. Put your hands down. I'm just letting y'all know. Stop doing all the hand movements. You're scaring me. All right. We'll talk about Meek Mill now.
Starting point is 00:19:30 You know he was supposed to be off house arrest, but something happened. Oh, Lord. And we'll tell you what with Dale so that he now has to have his house arrest extended. And we'll talk about Snoop Dogg and Roots. Okay. He had some words about the remake of Roots. We'll tell you what he said. And we'll tell you who fired back at him.
Starting point is 00:19:46 And we got DeRay coming in next hour. DeRay McKinnison, right? McKesson. McKesson. Well, at least I got his first name because I was calling him DeRay.
Starting point is 00:19:52 DeRay McKesson. No, DeRay McKesson will be here next hour. Founder of Black Lives Matter. Yep, it's the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. But shout out to my girl L'Oreal. She actually hit me yesterday and she was like, yo, I know a lot of people are mad about it, but it's really good. She said the acting is great and she's been watching it.
Starting point is 00:20:29 So I'm gonna make sure I check it out. But Snoop Dogg has an issue with black people doing all these slavery movies and is showing misery and oppression. Here's what he had to say. Sick of this. How the fuck they gonna put roots on Memorial Day? I don't understand America. They just wanna just keep showing the abuse
Starting point is 00:20:48 that we took hundreds and hundreds of years ago. But guess what? We taking the same abuse. The only success we have is Roots and 12 Years a Slave and s*** like that, huh?
Starting point is 00:20:56 F*** y'all. I ain't watching that s***. And I advise you motherf***ers that's real n****s like myself. F*** them television shows. Let's create our own s*** based on the day. I mean, I've been saying this.
Starting point is 00:21:05 I don't like watching any more slave movies. Show me some other African-American stories. Like, I feel like we're just more than slavery in the civil rights era. Last slave movie I said we needed
Starting point is 00:21:14 was the Nat Turner movie, which I thought we would never see because that is a horror story to white people, but thanks to Nate Parker, we are getting Birth of a Nation. Drop one of Clues bombs for that.
Starting point is 00:21:23 And that's why I love Django, too, because Django wasn't a victim. Okay, well, here is what Roland Martin had to say in response to Snoop Dogg. You have Snoop Dogg talking about how he's a real nigga. Well, maybe if Snoop actually watched Roots, he would realize that he's not the N-word. Also, you will never find somebody Jewish who says, you know what? It's way too many holocaust films can we just move on the fundamental problem i have is this here slavery happened slavery is real and too many americans want to deny what took place in this country but here's what i also am
Starting point is 00:21:58 confused by snoop dogg says they should be making this i checked imdb.com. The best success story he's done is Soul Plane. First of all, Roland, he's got a lot of points, but so does Snoop. And let's be clear, Soul Plane was a great movie about a young black entrepreneur who opened up their own airline. Okay? How many black people you know that own an airline?
Starting point is 00:22:21 There's a lot of people, little black kids, that probably were touched and were saying to themselves, you know what? I can have my own airline one day because I saw Soul Plane. All right. Well, and to be clear, Roots is on the History Channel.
Starting point is 00:22:31 It is, I feel like it is a classic movie. I saw Roots when I was growing up. So I do, before I want to say a movie is terrible, we shouldn't have done it, I would watch it.
Starting point is 00:22:41 I'm not saying the movie is terrible. I don't understand what Snoop is saying. Just show me some movies where we aren't always victims. Okay, you can make these movies, but show me these other African-American experiences. We've overcame a lot in this country.
Starting point is 00:22:50 I mean, I feel like there's other movies, too. I don't feel like that's the only movies that are out. But here's what Snoop Dogg had to say in response to Roland Martin. What? Good evening. I would not. No. No.
Starting point is 00:23:03 No. No. You bitch-ass nigga. No, I won't. You fat, bald- You bitch ass nigga No I won't You fat bald head Motherfucker No I won't I'm gonna let you breathe Nigga
Starting point is 00:23:11 I'm gonna let my work Speak for me See that's what they want They want you two slaves Fighting over the plantation One in the house One in the field And y'all just
Starting point is 00:23:20 Going at each other That's what they want Snoop And Roland Okay Why don't y'all just Stand by each other And look like a they want, Snoop, and Rowland. Okay? Why don't y'all just stand by each other and look like a nice,
Starting point is 00:23:26 happy number 10? All right, now, Meek Mill is supposed to be off of house arrest now, but instead, he has a few more days. He got an additional eight days of house arrest.
Starting point is 00:23:36 That is because he did not complete the right kind of community service. He volunteered at all the wrong places. He was supposed to put in 90 days of work
Starting point is 00:23:43 with the homeless, Habitat for Humanity, or senior citizens and veterans. But according to Meeks Camp, that was never specified. So instead, he spent time visiting schools and helping out with Flint's water crisis and delivering motivational speeches. They said he only worked six days per week. He did put in some hours at homeless shelters,
Starting point is 00:24:00 but it wasn't enough. So they're going to reevaluate his release date once his volunteer work is completed. He was supposed to be done yesterday. That's just ridiculous. There's levels to this community service. Like, it's like if I'm volunteering my services to the community, they have to pick
Starting point is 00:24:13 which community they want. Like, it can't be school. There's got to be homeless shelters. They gave him a few different options, and I guess it was written out for him, and he didn't, I don't know. I mean, but I'm sure it still felt good to him to go and talk to the kids in the schools regardless.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Yeah, but I want to get these hours off my community service too so I can get this ankle bracelet off and get back in these streets and make this money. All right, Khloe Kardashian. Now she's speaking out about Odell Beckham. You know, everybody's saying they're dating. There were pictures of them together, kind of booed up at Drake's Memorial weekend party. Well, according to Khloe, she went on Twitter and said, Sorry to burst your bubble when a couple drinks, a little flirting, and an invasion of privacy collide. Things may look crazy.
Starting point is 00:24:48 However, this ain't that and that ain't this. So that's her response. Funny thing is, she put went a couple drinks. People thought she meant went a couple drinks, and she thought they were a couple instead of a couple of drinks. I heard Odell was a little drunk and he thought Khloe was Caitlyn. That's why he was flirting with her. All right, well, that is your rumor report.
Starting point is 00:25:04 I'm Angela Yee. That's right. And up next we got DeRay McKinnison. McKesson. McKesson. Okay, sorry DeRay. Activist. I can't get both your names right. DeRay McKesson. Okay. How many times are you going to get it wrong during the interview though? I don't know. Alright. I know I'm a little slow. We know.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Alright, let's get into it. It's the Breakfast Club. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee, DJ Envy is off today. And we got a special guest in the building. I've been watching this man's movement for a long time via social media. And then it started translating. I believe we all have been watching.
Starting point is 00:25:35 The television. Yeah, we all have. D-Ray is here. Good to be here. McKesson, right? McKesson. McKesson. Is it DeRay or D-Ray?
Starting point is 00:25:42 It's DeRay. DeRay. Are you Irish? I think we're all mixed with a little bit of something. Yeah, I'm a McKelvey, so I got a little Irish in me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So tell them your titles, DeRay. DeRay.
Starting point is 00:25:52 DeRay. DeRay, I'm sorry. That's why you kept getting confused with the comedian. He's been supposed to be here, but they kept booking DeRay Davis instead of DeRay. We were like, DeRay Davis is coming. The emails kept going back. They were like, the comedian? And we were like, no, no, no, not the comedian. I get a lot of his tweets, D. Ray Davis is coming. The emails kept coming back. They were like, the comedian? And we were like, no, no, no, not the comedian.
Starting point is 00:26:07 I get a lot of his tweets, too. So we follow each other just so we can understand. Hey, man, the tweets for you. I know, it's so cool. So I'm an activist, civil rights activist, protester. Most recently for the last 19 months, you know, been a part of the Black Lives Matter movement with so many other people,
Starting point is 00:26:21 which is focused on ending police violence, but also talking about the structural conditions in America that make racism thrive and that we need to do something about it. So how did that happen? Because it just seems like all of a sudden one day it was this DeRay guy on Twitter that was just very active and vocal. It was almost like you just quit your job and whatever you was doing, it was like, I'm going to go do this. And I'm sure that teaching in public schools, especially in East New York and seeing what
Starting point is 00:26:43 students are lacking from the school system probably had a lot to do with that also. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, I was the senior director of human capital at Minneapolis Public Schools when Mike Brown got killed. So I managed, like, all staffing for the school district. It was August 16th. I was sitting on my couch.
Starting point is 00:26:56 It was 1 o'clock in the morning, and I was like, I want to go. I want to go see what's happening. So I saw it on Twitter, saw it on TV, and I got in the car, drove nine hours, didn't know anybody in St. Louis, ended up there, and that was sort of the beginning for me hours, didn't know anybody in St. Louis, ended up there. And that was sort of the beginning for me. Second night I was in St. Louis was the first night that I got tear gassed. And that, like, changed everything.
Starting point is 00:27:12 It was just like this is not the America that people should have to grow up in and live in. And I, like so many other people, our lives change. You know, I think about Twitter as the friend that's always awake, you know. And I needed to, like, explain what was going on. And, like like that became real for me so i had 800 followers in august of 2014 i have about 300 000 now and like that has we we've used social media as a way to like mobilize and organize and tell the story so you
Starting point is 00:27:34 just said uh forget the teaching i'm gonna go hit the ground running not forget working in school systems but it was so much of my work had been about making sure that kids have great teachers every day and like every kid gets a great education and then it was this moment of my work had been about making sure that kids have great teachers every day and like every kid gets a great education. And then it was this moment of like, you got to be alive to learn. Right. That like Mike will never know a college professor. Tamir will never know a high school teacher. You know, like there's something so fundamental about the conditions in this country that we need to address with regard to state violence. I was like, I'll change my work. Why do you think people don't like to hear about black issues? It's like, everybody else can
Starting point is 00:28:06 talk about the problems that's going on in their communities, but as soon as we start speaking up, then it's an issue. You guys need to stop complaining. Yeah, stop complaining. You're race baiting. You have everything in front of you. You're racist. You still want more. I've heard people say things like that. I've heard people get upset when you say black lives matter, and they say all lives
Starting point is 00:28:21 matter. Yeah, I think that this country has always struggled with the centering of blackness and black struggle. Even though we know that black is what's cool in America, that what black people decide to talk about is like what the country talks about, unless it's about justice. We also know that the privilege of whiteness means that white is seen as normal in this country, right? That like from band-aids to Barbie dolls and everything else, that white has this normative function and that blackness becomes a deviation from from that. I think people are also like afraid of what the of the outcome of the justice conversation. Right. Like if we actually talk about race and racism, that that should lead to real actions and
Starting point is 00:28:57 change the conditions in this country for black people. And I think some people benefit. So a lot of people benefit from the status quo and don't want that threatened. I think the movement threatens the status quo in a way that people didn't anticipate. You know, people weren't critiquing the police a year ago. But now, like, the media, everybody's sort of saying, like, this isn't okay. And that's real power. Now, let's talk about Beyonce and the whole Super Bowl and now the fallout from that.
Starting point is 00:29:21 Beyonce follows you. She does. Woo-hoo! You're so funny. Now I can see that cops are actually boycotting her concerts and saying they're not going to protect her. They're not going to make sure Beyonce is safe. What do you think about things like that and about her performance and how police are responding
Starting point is 00:29:36 and how some people are saying, oh, she's anti-police? Yeah, you know, so art is a powerful reflection of what's happening and also can help us imagine new possibilities. I think Formation did a really, it was risky for her. And I think that it serves as a powerful entrance for other entertainers to say, like, you can talk about tough topics, you can talk about race, you know, she stood on top of a police car sinking in the ground, you're like, you know, nobody thought she'd do that. And she did it. And that was a real. But that was also real, right? That, like, people across the country. You know, the police have killed nearly three people every day in 2016. The police killed somebody in all states. Not even just black people. People. That's why I don't understand why more of America is not outraged by this.
Starting point is 00:30:16 You know how Martin Luther King Jr. said, the injustice anywhere, the threat to justice everywhere, this isn't supposed to happen. It's deep. So I think that she rightly was recognizing the crisis that was happening and using her art to talk about it. Beyonce will survive these police boycotts. Right. And I'm hopeful that her image will help or what she's done will help other entertainers say I can use my art to talk about tough topics.
Starting point is 00:30:37 It's just disappointing that people got the wrong message. I don't think they got the wrong message. Because they think she's anti-police. But that's not even what she was saying at all, period. In her video, her message was not, okay, we can't stand police officers. It was like, we don't condone police officers attacking our people. Yeah, and I think people are threatened by the power of Beyonce, right?
Starting point is 00:30:59 She has this incredible platform. She did it at the Super Bowl, of all places. You know, she's talking about Malcolm X and they're in the 60s garb with afros. I think that that threatened people's sense of comfort and the status quo. And I think that that's where we're seeing the backlash too. And I think that to her credit she has withstood it.
Starting point is 00:31:15 She's selling Boycott Beyonce t-shirts. She gets it and I'm hopeful that it'll be a powerful model for other entertainers. Has she ever DM'd you? No. You're lying, DM. There's no way Beyonce followed you just to follow.
Starting point is 00:31:30 Do you follow her back? Of course. I don't want to know what she said. She sent us a bee emoji, a black fist. Are you part of the beehive? Are you one too? All of us are. Yeah, we are.
Starting point is 00:31:41 You knew when Lemonade was dropping, didn't you? You know, I know that she is committed to this work. Yeah. And I know that she is using her platform to really push messages that are risky, that are historically risky, but she has a platform to do it. And I, like I said, I'm hopeful that, like, other people will see this and be like, I can use my
Starting point is 00:31:57 art, too. And some people are, like, Jesse Williams. You think about Harrison Bonds. I think that's powerful. And, you know, the movement has also opened up a lot of space to talk about identity. You know, the complexity of black identity, to talk about sexuality, to talk about the trans community, to talk about things in public that we've not been able to talk about before. When I think about protests,
Starting point is 00:32:14 protests at its root, I think, is this idea of telling the truth in public. That we stood in streets to use our bodies to tell the truth that Mike should be alive and Rekia and Tamir and John and Ayanna. We disrupted board meetings and commissions to tell the truth that they might use alive and Rekia and Tamir and John and Ayanna. We disrupted board meetings and commissions to tell the truth that they might use their institutional power in ways
Starting point is 00:32:29 that were important to people's lives. And I think that it's also an open-up space to talk about identity, and I think that's important. All right, we got more with DeRay McKesson when we come back. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Don't go nowhere.
Starting point is 00:32:40 The Breakfast Club. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. That was Rihanna work. We got DeRay McKesson in the building. One of the reasons I wanted to talk to you, too, is because I watch you, and I'm like, yo, this guy's got to be mentally strong. Because not only did you take on the cause of, you know, just your own blackness, you're openly gay, right?
Starting point is 00:33:01 Yeah. So, like, what's harder? Being black in America or being gay in America? And how complicated is it to be both? Yeah. So I don't think of it in terms of a competition. It's important to me that I get to show up in the fullness of who I am
Starting point is 00:33:17 wherever I am. That's real. We know that you can see my blackness when I can't hide it. It is here. I don't have to talk about it. You experience that. And I think that there's something visceral about that that just makes it different in America. No matter if I have on a dress shirt or a hoodie or whatever,
Starting point is 00:33:34 I'm a black man. I don't need something different. My sexuality is something that you often have to have an entrance into. We got to talk about it or we talk about love. And I think that the space has opened up where we can, there's more ability to talk about identity and like that's powerful. The day that it came out that I was out in the New York Times Magazine, you know, people call me a fan all day from like, you know, 9am to midnight on Twitter. And like that isn't kind or nice or fun. But I will say that I've seen so many people have conversations about identity in
Starting point is 00:34:03 ways that they haven't before that are really powerful. I think about the trans community. I worry so much about the bathroom bill because people talk like it's not about bathrooms. It is about saying that identity is really complex. Your identity, your gender identity. Yeah, and people talk. It's like, what are you doing in bathrooms? Because for some reason people think, oh, this means that people are going to pretend to be this and sneak into the other.
Starting point is 00:34:23 That's what I worry about. That's what you guys. I don't worry about transgenders. I worry about those sick predators who are going to take advantage of that law and pretend to be trans. But what is happening? You know, I keep asking people, what are y'all doing in bathrooms? Now, I've seen three stories since this case happened. It was two that happened a couple of years ago, but the guys got arrested.
Starting point is 00:34:40 But one just happened. And I'm like, OK, this is some fear mongering going on. It has to be. Like when I go in the bathroom, I'm like going in the bathroom to handle my business, and I'm leaving. Like, it's not a club. It's not a party. It's not a, I'm not handing out business cards. You know, like, what are people thinking?
Starting point is 00:34:54 But you're normal, D-Ray. I'm talking about these sickos who just want to go in there and get a smell. But that's not, but it's not fair to attach that to the conversation about people's identity. Because these are like real people's lives, you know is my problem i feel like local government and federal government failed to people i feel like north carolina local government failed transgenders because they shouldn't put a target on their back let them do whatever they was doing before they shouldn't have to show no id and use let them use whatever bathroom they were using before and i think the u.s government did an injustice when they just announced hey you can use whatever
Starting point is 00:35:24 bathroom you identify why is that an injustice when they just announced, hey, you can use whatever bad from you identify. Why is that an injustice? Because it opened the door for the predators, not the transgenders, the sickos to be like, oh, words. All I got to do is put on a dress or I can just walk in there and say I identify as a woman. I think that that is what people want us to believe. They want us to believe that this like fight for equity is dangerous. You know, it's what people said about the gay community. It's on the news right now.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Bathroom battle heats up. Right. And you're like, you know, people said about gay people that if you let gay people adopt, it's going to lead to like. And that isn't that's fear mongering. You know, like that's not real. And we have to have these conversations in public so we can help people think through them differently. I agree. What is Campaign Zero?
Starting point is 00:36:02 So Campaign Zero is a comprehensive platform to end police violence. This idea that we can actually live in a world where there's zero police killings. We believe that. It's a 10-point plan. It's what we usually met with Bernie and Hillary. We met with Loretta Lynch and Valerie Jarrett and President Obama. And importantly, it's saying that it's not any one of these things. So yes, we need independent investigators. Yes, we need independent prosecutors. Yes, we need body cameras. But, we need independent prosecutors. Yes, we need body cameras.
Starting point is 00:36:25 But we also need fair police union contracts. We need use of force policies that explicitly call for the preservation of life. And we need all of these things together. And there's some interesting things happening. We created the first public database of police union contracts, the first public database of use of force policies. And you think about body cameras, which a lot of people don't want. Some people don't want because they think that it's going to be a new form of surveillance in black communities, right? They're like, all of a sudden, if every officer has like a camera walking around the
Starting point is 00:36:51 neighborhood, like, that's actually really problematic. And what we would say is that there are ways to put protection so that that footage is not used against people unnecessarily. And, you know, there's some interesting research happening that is using the audio from the body cameras, that what if we could actually test for aggression in officers? It's like if you yelled all day, we could actually like test that before you killed somebody and we needed the footage. And like I think that we are just in the in the beginning stages of seeing what technology can do to hold police officers accountable and help communities be safe. Why would it be problematic for cops to walk around with cameras? But imagine if they just had a camera and they're standing in the corner and they're just
Starting point is 00:37:25 taking continuous footage, right? Then what they could do is go back, call through the footage, and arrest you three weeks later for any random thing you did. Well, you shouldn't have been doing a crime. You won't have a problem if you're not committing a crime. We also shouldn't live in a surveillance
Starting point is 00:37:41 state, right? We do, though. Snapchat, WorldStar, Instagram video. There's a lot of cameras. Imagine if you just had a... You would not want to live in a world where you are filmed at every moment. This is my thing. We do live in this kind of world where we're filmed at every moment. But you're not. Okay, 80% of the time.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Well, some people want their 20%. That's true, and 80% of these people are recording themselves already doing crimes. Go look at WorldStar. I can see turning on the cameras when the police are about to stop somebody or question somebody than being required to turn them on. Which is different than like, you know, what's going to stop an officer from literally just standing on a corner like an undercover officer and just like videotaping every, like at what point do we say like people actually do have a right to some sort of privacy?
Starting point is 00:38:23 I think that's like a fair question. That's what I tell people every time they pull out their phones when it's an accident. Because you call 911 and help instead of trying to record it for your Snapchat. The police, you know, the police, if people thought the police had a lot of integrity across the country, I think this would be a different story. But we've seen cases where the police like don't do things with integrity. And I think that rightly worries people that they'll have this huge database of footage. People don't want to have their fingerprints.
Starting point is 00:38:49 I mean, people do want some privacy. We don't. And you could get arrested for real. We think about all the people in protests that got arrested for refusal to obey. What was the crime? I didn't cross the street when you told me to. That's wild that people are sitting in jail.
Starting point is 00:39:02 I worry that people look back at August of 2014 and they think that we marched in solidarity with the 60s, that marching was really cool. It was illegal to stand still in August. In St. Louis, it was illegal to stand still. It was called the five-second rule that if you stood still for more than five seconds, you were arrested. It's like y'all playing basketball.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Imagine they want to arrest you and then they get some footage of you jaywalking. Right, and then you're in jail for two weeks for the five-second rule that they made up that was deemed unconstitutional later. But, like, we lived that, you know? So our skepticism is, like, real. I agree with everything you're saying, but I feel like we record way more than the police do. Yeah, which doesn't mean that it's right for the police to do more. Yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:39:40 We got more with DeRay McKesson when we come back. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Hey, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Hey, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angel Lee, DJ Envy is on vacation. We got my man DeRay McKesson here. DeRay, I see you tweet about pop culture a lot. Is that what keeps your mind off everything else? Yeah, I'm black.
Starting point is 00:39:56 You know, I'm black and, you know, it's so odd too. You know, Jay-Z's, what's the... The All The Way Up remix? Yes, All The Way. I feel like, now I feel like I'm 80 years old. What's that song onZ's What's the What's the The All The Way Up remix Yes All The Way I feel like Now I feel like I'm 80 years old What's that song What's that song
Starting point is 00:40:08 What's that song With the chica boy on it What's that What's that Like Kiki Palmer Did you see the video Kiki is like What's Jay-Z's real name
Starting point is 00:40:17 Anyway Yeah so That song came out And he has a line That says Survival of the Littest Survival of the Littest They just put you in
Starting point is 00:40:24 It feels like they want To put you in a box Oh you're they want to put you in a box. Oh, you're an activist. You can't talk to Azalea Banks. You can't tweet about Beyonce. I get that a lot less now than I used to. At the beginning, it would be like, DeRay, you, you know, Drake dropped some song, and I said something to people like, go back to protesting. Okay, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:40:43 Now, I think, you know, we've all grown a little bit more, but I'm all about it, yeah. And I think that that's, like, true to what it means to be black, right? That, like, we are more than our pain. Balance, man. That, like, people want black people to always be hurt and damaged and upset. And, like, we are hurt and frustrated, but we also have this deep sense of joy, you know?
Starting point is 00:41:01 And that that has allowed us to survive and thrive in the most unlikely conditions. And I'm a part of that. You're a part of that. Like, we're all a part of that together. And I think it's important that people see that, like, you know, I'm not angry all day. I'm, like, mad every time the police kill somebody. That stuff makes me angry.
Starting point is 00:41:16 But is it anger or justified rage? I like to call it justified rage. I'm okay with justified rage. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think that's fair. I mean, we have a lot to, you know, if we were asking
Starting point is 00:41:26 for revenge and not justice, this would be a different conversation, you know? That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. So people should be thankful this is a conversation about justice.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Anger leads to revenge. Justified rage makes you want to seek justice. Yeah, this is about justice for people. And I do think that, like, we have to start talking about things like, you know,
Starting point is 00:41:41 people don't want to talk about reparations. I think the word reparations is like a lightning rod for people, as opposed to just saying, like, this is about acknowledging and repair, right? We need to acknowledge, like, you know, people don't want to talk about reparations. I think the word reparations is like a lightning rod for people, as opposed to just saying like, this is about acknowledging and repair, right? We need to acknowledge like this deep history of trauma and figure out how to repair it. And I think that that is actually like a more real thing that like the racial, you know,
Starting point is 00:41:55 the average savings in retirement for black people is like zero dollars. Like we have to talk about the racial. I agree with that. Things like that. You know, like people confuse income with wealth. You know, I made one hundred and ten thousand before I quit. I agree with that. Things like that. You know, like, people confuse income with wealth. You know, I made $110,000 before I quit. I had a high income and no wealth. Right? Like, I owned no, I had
Starting point is 00:42:09 no real assets. Like, you know, white people have wealth. They, like, own land. And I feel like people are very nervous to do things like invest or even discuss it. They think it's not for them. I had a discussion with somebody the other day, and I was talking to her about the stock market and starting businesses. And it was something that she was really nervous about the stock market and starting businesses and it was something
Starting point is 00:42:25 that she was really nervous about that she never learned about and it is something that we need to, you can educate yourself on that. And like what happens when you don't come from a legacy of people,
Starting point is 00:42:33 like a family of people who've done that, right? Do you think, I know so many white families that have, they come from like long lines of people who've owned property, who started businesses
Starting point is 00:42:42 and like that isn't always either the stories that we have lived or the stories that you've heard about. And we got to start doing that. Right. I definitely listen. My family, they don't have any type of history with that. I never learned that growing up.
Starting point is 00:42:55 But we have so much access to information that there's no reason to not educate yourself on those things. And how do we use platforms like this? You think about reading. I'm a third-generation reader. My great-grandmother could only sign her name. You know, it means something to not come from like five generations of people who like could actually read and comprehend text. You know, like that matters when we think about this work.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Do you get money to like just keep going? Just like to be on the road and stuff like that. And I've heard people say, well, DeRay steals money. DeRay. DeRay. My bad. DeRay steals money. Like, how do you feel about that?
Starting point is 00:43:26 Yeah, so it's interesting. I get a lot of things, right, that I'm, like, sponsored by Spotify, Twitter, Google, Wells Fargo. I don't actually get title. So I get a lot of those things. The reality is that it was savings. When I speak places, I'll get, like, an honorarium, and I'm able to keep the cost really low.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Like, I pay for, like, food and Uber'm able to keep the cost really low. Like I pay for like food and Uber. I wear the same thing for a long time. You know, like I'm not buying new clothes. It was $9.90 when I walked in. It was a cool $70. I don't know what it'll be when I leave. But yeah, you know, I don't have like a ton of expenses. The money rumors are interesting.
Starting point is 00:44:03 I get a lot of rumors. You know, there's this rumor that I'm in the Illuminati. The Illuminati has a Wikipedia page if you don't know. Oh, do they? So I have an entry in the Illuminati wiki. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:44:11 I know, I'm really proud of that. So no, so like, there are a lot of rumors and there are people in the movement who've gotten,
Starting point is 00:44:16 you know, money from foundations and things like that and that is important for people to sustain their work. That isn't what we've done. But I do get like an incredible, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:26 Dove soap, I don't even remember remember so I use, you know, I tried this is the first time I've publicly talked about this since it happened on Twitter, but I tweeted one day like I use Dove Soap because like, I don't know why, I was like I use Dove Soap You wash D-Ray? People were like literally like you use white soap, you cannot do Get out of here! No, I lie to you not
Starting point is 00:44:41 Dove Soap trended for like 15 hours and it was like wild and it was like okay this is, I lie to you not. It was, Dove soap trended for like 15 hours. And it was like wild. And it was like, okay, this is, I use white soap. So now, we joke a lot.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Thank goodness you didn't say ivory. Right, right. Now it's like I just, I don't talk about soap. I don't talk about the brand of lotion I use. I don't talk about the flavor of ice cream
Starting point is 00:44:58 because it becomes this like thing that I hope you don't like vanilla. Right, I know. No comment about vanilla ice cream. But people get really, I don't know, maybe it's because of the civil rights movement, but they feel like people sold them out. But that's not what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:45:10 And we have tried to do all of our stuff in public, right? And there's been an interesting backlash that we get with that. The only reason you can criticize most of the things we do is because we told you we did it, right? Right. So I'm not sneaking to the White House. Like I said, I was there. Like, I'm not sneaking.
Starting point is 00:45:25 You think some of it may be jealousy? Because you've seen that on the front of Essence magazine, your Uncle Bear show. You think a lot of times they're like, why are they getting all this shine? And we've been out here protesting for years as well. Yeah, I don't know. You know, I'm not going to hypothesize where it comes from. I do know that we feel confident that we go to sleep every night with our integrity intact. And any challenges that we've had with people, we address or we're open to having conversations with people.
Starting point is 00:45:49 We do know that people confuse visibility sometimes with so many things, you know, like. Like they see you on TV. Oh, he got money now. Yeah. And you're like, no, I'm broke. Right. Like this is. Oh, he's trying to be famous.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Like Malcolm X wasn't all over TV. Like Martin Luther King Jr. wasn't on TV. And I'm coming here. You know, we had a, I think we had an important conversation about transphobia in the bathroom bill, right? That I'm in places talking about black, you know, I'm on Colbert talking about white privilege on network television, right? That it's not, what I'm not doing is saying like, hello, Colbert, please tell your people to follow me on Twitter, right? Like that's not what it is. And I think about any time that I've been with influencers or celebrities, like we're talking about like how we can be closer in the work, right? Like how can you
Starting point is 00:46:28 use your platform to like further conversations about equity and justice? Like that's what we're doing, you know? So what is the Black Lives Matter movement's ultimate goal? I think at the most basic level, it is about addressing, confronting and changing state violence and institutionalizing those changes. So the most visceral manifestation of that is about the police. And that is what got people on the street. It's what kept people on the street. You think about, you know, I've heard recently people like downplay protest or, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:53 and it's like in St. Louis, there's like over 100, 200 days of continuous protest. That has not happened in our lifetime. Like it happened there. The police killed 10 people after Mike Brown. So it wasn't, you know, you know, Mike, but like, the police killed 10 people police killed 10 people after Mike Brown. So it wasn't, you know, you know Mike, but like the police killed 10 people in St. Louis after him. So wild. And then it is about opening up space to talk about the complexity of identity,
Starting point is 00:47:12 other ways that state violence manifests, whether that's like education or housing. Like it's about all of those conditions and changing them at the institutional level. All right. Well, we thank you so much for coming through. Thank you. DeRay. DeRay.
Starting point is 00:47:24 You want to have a DeRay I don't drink Let me ask you something Light or dark liquor? Just want to make sure Let's go buy him a vanilla milk You better say brown I started drinking three years ago And I only drank white wine
Starting point is 00:47:38 What? What? DeRay! Both my parents were drug addicts My father raised us, my mother left when I was three and we were afraid to drink, you know, growing up. And I don't know,
Starting point is 00:47:48 one day I like, somebody gave me a glass of wine and that's all I, and one glass of wine and I'm like, done. White wine, dove soap. I know. DeRay.
Starting point is 00:47:56 Thank you for joining us, my brother. Thank you. Good to be here. I love your Twitters and all that stuff, man. It's DeRay, D-E-R-A-Y on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:48:01 And on Instagram, it's I am DeRay. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Stacey Dash has been doing a lot of interviews because she has a book coming out, her memoirs. There goes my social life from clueless to conservative.
Starting point is 00:48:26 I'm reading that. You know why I'm reading that? Because I know there is some good comedy in that one now. Well, she said almost 25 years ago, her boyfriend, who she didn't name, physically abused her on a regular basis. And after she broke up with him, he raped her at gunpoint while her young son from Christopher Williams slept nearby. She had a baby with Christopher Williams. She had a baby with Christopher Williams? I'm dreaming, Christopher Williams?
Starting point is 00:48:45 Yeah. One of the original waffle-colored Negroes that put waffle-colored Negroes on the map? Yes. Who knew that? She fired her gun at her ex-boyfriend and miss, but the shots of it scared him off when he was raping her.
Starting point is 00:48:57 And then she also said she was molested when she was four years old by a family member who was 16 and she started abusing drugs also. Oh, you kind of blurred those stories. Did Christopher Williams rape her? No. She said her young son by Christopher Williams was sleeping nearby when her ex-boyfriend raped her. Got you.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Right. Now she also said that she almost had an abortion, but she changed her mind. She said, when I got pregnant, I was doing a lot of drugs. I didn't want to live. I wanted to die. I was going to have an abortion. I was crying and I said to God, please tell me what to do. And God told me, keep your son. I didn't want to live. I wanted to die. I was going to have an abortion. I was crying and I said to God, please tell me what to do. And God told me, keep your son. I ripped the IV out of my arm and I said, I'm keeping
Starting point is 00:49:29 my son. Listen, those are terrible, tragic stories that I would not wish on anybody, especially being that I have two daughters. But if it's one person who probably won't get sympathy for any of those stories, it's Stacey Dash. Well, she also went on Entertainment Tonight and she also talks about a passage in her book where she's criticizing Caitlyn Jenner for using women's bathrooms.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Here's what she had to say. You also call out Caitlyn Jenner? Yeah. I think that, you know, she's saying she wants to go into the woman's bathroom. She's a woman now. Go into the woman's bathroom. But why do I have to suffer? Because you can't decide what you want to be that day.
Starting point is 00:50:05 But is it a decision? I would think so. It's your body. So it's your decision. I guess a lot of people in the transgender community would then say, I don't choose to be one way or another. It's who I am. Okay, then go to the bushes. I don't know what to tell you.
Starting point is 00:50:21 I'm not going to put my child's life at risk because you want to change a law. So she thinks that Caitlyn Jenner is putting her child's life at risk? Forget that. She said they should go in the bushes. She's crazy. They're not transsexual. They're not people. You're an animal.
Starting point is 00:50:35 They're not trans dog. Go in the bushes, you animal. She's trying to say y'all trans dog. Go in the bushes. Man, oh man. All right. Now let's discuss Prince. He set all kinds of records, according to Billboard.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Now, for the first sales week following his death on April 21st, five of his albums were in Billboard's top ten. No artist has ever had that many albums in the top ten ever in history. He also had 19 albums in Billboard's top 200. Now, before that, the record was The Beatles. They had 14 albums in the top 200. Now, before he died, the week before he died, he sold 19,000 albums. Guess how many it was the week after his death?
Starting point is 00:51:11 19 million. 4.4 million albums. Drop one of Clues' bombs for Prince, damn it. I'll never forget gazing into your eyes and not having anything to say to you other than I grew up a Jehovah's Witness, too. You tried to make a bond. I understand that. He glamored me. Now, if you don't stop
Starting point is 00:51:27 telling people that he floated or levitated away. You was there. He did not levitate, okay? If people don't stop tweeting me, did he really, did Prince really levitate? Was he really floating?
Starting point is 00:51:36 Hold on, hold on, hold on. We got Angela. He here. Envy's not here today. Q is here. Y'all don't remember the picture I took of Prince. Yeah, the picture disappeared.
Starting point is 00:51:43 It did not look like he was floating away in that picture. He had a cape on. Q was shaking his head yes. There was the picture I took of Prince. Yeah, the picture disappeared. It did not look like he was floating away in that picture. He had a cape on. Q was shaking his head yes. There was no picture. It's gone. Yes, that's how ill it was.
Starting point is 00:51:50 So then show us the picture. It was in my picture. It was in my phone for 30 seconds. I showed everybody. And then it went black. Where the picture was. It was like the original Snapchat. Listen, where the picture was in my phone, it was just a black space.
Starting point is 00:52:01 It was a picture of him floating away. That's why you don't take unauthorized pictures, sir. Well, he was at least six to seven inches off the ground. Alright, Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have announced plans. They are going to officially do a reality show on E! It's called Rob and Chyna, and it's also going to have a special
Starting point is 00:52:18 about the birth of their baby. They're going to executive produce the show as well. It's going to be one hour episodes. It's going to follow them from their engagement to her pregnancy and everything in between. I ain't going to lie, that show sounds fat. Like it just sounds fat. It's not like it's just a fat show.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Oh, stop. It's just a fat show. And Wiz Khalifa is suing his former label and ex-manager, Benji Grimberg and Rostrum Records. He went to at least $1 million. He said it was a very deceptive 360 deal that he signed and there were a lot of self-dealing transactions during their 10-year run together.
Starting point is 00:52:49 He says that Benji started representing him in 2004 when he was just 16, and that he and his label induced him to enter into a 360 agreement, and Wiz Khalifa was supposed to be exclusive to Rashton. Rashton was sharing his income streams as a songwriter and touring and merchandising, and with that contract, he failed to disclose that there could have been alternative arrangements Exclusive to Rostrum, Rostrum was sharing his income streams as a songwriter and touring and merchandising.
Starting point is 00:53:10 And with that contract, he failed to disclose that there could have been alternative arrangements that would have been more beneficial to him. And instead, he was tied to an agreement that reached for more than a decade. And that was virtually every aspect of his professional life. Just a million? Yeah, I would think you would ask for more after 10 years. Yeah, Benji got a million. He better just give him that million. Just a million? All right, well, that is your rumor report.
Starting point is 00:53:27 I'm Angela Yee. Set me up. So, Charlamagne. Yes. I know we got Donkey of the Day coming up next. How did you know? Who are you giving that donkey to? How did you know?
Starting point is 00:53:37 Who are you giving your donkey to, Charlamagne? Donkey of the Day is going to somebody who is celebrating crime. And we have to stop this celebration of crime in America. We definitely have to. In some places, crime should not be. And we have to stop this celebration of crime in America. We definitely have to. In some places, crime should not be. And the classroom is one of them. We'll talk about it for after the hour. Mobile, Alabama, I need y'all to tune in, okay?
Starting point is 00:53:52 Everybody that listens to us on 100.3, the beat in Mobile, Alabama. Tune in. Thanks, Sharla. That's what MB calls you. It's the world's most dangerous morning show the breakfast club it's time for donkey of the day
Starting point is 00:54:11 i'm a democrat so being donkey of the day is a little bit of a mixed one so like a donkey now i've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey of the Day is a new one. Hey, Tommy. Donkey of the Day for Thursday, June 2nd goes to a math teacher in Mobile, Alabama. Salute to everybody listening to us on 100.3 The Beat in Mobile. Now, the teacher hasn't been identified by the school, but I'm sure Mobile will be hitting me up on social media to let me know who she is, because I know y'all know.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Tell me on Twitter right now, at C to God, C-T-H-A-G-O-D. But her name hasn't been released, but I do know she is a veteran educator. I do know. And it's in her last year before retirement, and she clearly doesn't give a damn anymore. She's like President Barack Obama in his last year in the White House. You think he don't give a damn? He don't give a damn. Just freeing and shortening the sentences of drug offenders, inviting
Starting point is 00:55:08 rappers over. He don't care. F what y'all talking about. I'm out this bitch. And this teacher in Mobile, Alabama must be feeling the same way because she gave her kids what is being called a gang math test. What's that? Let me repeat and I'll tell you. She gave her kids what is being called
Starting point is 00:55:24 a gang math test. Yes, this teacher was teaching the kids a little crypt calculus, some basic blood math. Yes, according to the NY Daily News, the math teacher was put on administrative leave after she handed out a racially charged math test to her eighth grade students that made gang references about drive-by shootings, prostitution, and drugs. I can't make this kind of stuff up, people. I'm not that good. Parents at Burns Middle School were outraged to find out their kids
Starting point is 00:55:49 had been given a 10-question quiz where you had to put your gang crew name at the top on the example. I saw somebody put the plug for that. And it had questions like, Ramone has an AK-47 with a 30-round clip. He usually misses six out of every 10 shots, and he uses 13 rounds per drive-by shooting. How many drive-by shootings can Ramone attempt before he has to steal enough ammunition and reload?
Starting point is 00:56:12 Another question is, Leroy has two ounces of cocaine. Oh, my gosh. If he sells an eight-ball to Antonio for $320 and two grams to Juan for 85 per gram, what is the street value of the rest of his hold? I bet you know the answers though. I really don't. Hold up. Okay? Because this might be my favorite one.
Starting point is 00:56:32 LaShonda is a lookout for the gang. Lacuna also has a boa constrictor that eats five rats per week at a cost of $5 per rat. If LaShonda makes $700 a week as a lookout, how many weeks can she feed the boa on one week's income? First of all,
Starting point is 00:56:48 who the hell got boa constrictors in the hood just lying around? Y'all think I'm making this up. Let's go to the New York Daily News for the report, please. A Mobile, Alabama math teacher was put on administrative leave after she handed out a racially charged math test to her 8th grade students that made gang
Starting point is 00:57:04 references like drive-by shootings prostitutions and drugs parents at the burns middle school were outraged to find their kids had been given the 10 question quiz asking them to answer questions about turning tricks stolen bmws and knocking up women do i even have to tell y'all why this is wrong four weeks you can feed the boa constrictor for four weeks shut up do i even have to tell y'all why this is wrong? Four weeks. He could feed the boa constrictor for four weeks. Shut up, Pete. Do I even have to tell y'all why this is wrong? Okay. Let me read one more.
Starting point is 00:57:32 See if Angelina can get this one. Okay. Tyrone knocked up four girls in the gang. Hold on. Four girls. There are 20 girls in his gang. Okay. What is the exact percentage of the girls Tyrone knocked up? 20%.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Okay. I got another one Dwayne pimps three hoes Three hoes Okay And then they ask the students to figure out How many tricks each of the hookers must turn in a day To support Dwayne's crack habit
Starting point is 00:57:55 I'm not That's just ridiculous Well I don't understand How do you know that? Listen man Listen Teachers you don't have to try to be cool This isn't what's popping in these streets
Starting point is 00:58:03 We shouldn't legitimize the gang and drug culture via math tests, making it seem like these are some honorable professions that are worthy of being turned into math equations. How about deal with the reality of the situation and ask the kids questions like, if Tyrone gets caught with 40 kilos of cocaine, three illegal guns, and one dead body in the trunk, how many years will he get under the jail?
Starting point is 00:58:24 How about if Shemika pulls out a gun and shoots near a schoolyard at a rival gang member named Shaquanna, but accidentally shoots a 12-year-old boy in the head and kills him? How long will that 12-year-old boy be dead, and how much time in prison will Shemeika get? The answer for all those questions should be forever, okay? Listen, man, I don't know what kind of world we live in anymore. It's bad enough that the criminal lifestyle has been commercialized via music, TV, movies,
Starting point is 00:58:47 and I'm fine with that to a certain extent, but now it's invading the classroom? Why? What is the reason these images are being planted in our kids' heads, making it seem like this criminal behavior is normal? What if none of these kids have ever been exposed to any of this kind of stuff, but now they are in school? What's next? They going to teach you how much Sprite should be in every pint of lean in chemistry class? Huh? They going to teach you how to run from cops in gym class?
Starting point is 00:59:08 Home economics class? You going to learn how to cook up a nice kilo of cocaine? Huh? Like, stop it. Don't go chasing crypt calculus. Stick to the same old arithmetic in English you're used to. Please give this teacher in Mobile, Alabama, the biggest hee-haw, please.
Starting point is 00:59:24 Anybody at Burns Middle School in Mobile, Alabama, the biggest hee-haw, please. Anybody at Burns Middle School in Mobile, Alabama, anybody in Mobile want to tell me who this teacher is? Who? Can you send me those questions? I want to answer them. Why? I just want to see if I still, you know, know math like I used to.
Starting point is 00:59:41 I just want to see if I still know what's going on in these streets, if I still know the square whiff of a kilo of cocaine. The square whiff? I don't know. I think you meant square whiff. I don't do it. I ain't been out there in so long. And I'm so happy. Thank God.
Starting point is 00:59:50 Drop one of the clues bombs for me and my new life. I'm so far removed from the streets. I'm so happy to be so far removed from the streets. I don't know what's going on out here. I don't know what the popular drugs is to sell, to use. I don't know none of that. You definitely don't know what the drugs are nowadays. I sure don't. And thank God I don't. Nor do I want to know none of that. You definitely don't know what the drugs are nowadays. I sure don't.
Starting point is 01:00:07 And thank God I don't. Nor do I want to know. Alright. Thank you, Charlamagne, for today's donkey. Thank you. Hold on. I was about to say that. Just making sure. Let me do my part. Well, thank you, Charlotte, for that donkey of the day today. Oh, thank you. Envy isn't here, ladies and gentlemen. He's on vacation. He's the transition guy. Let me see what he's doing right now. Because, you know, Envy's been posting a lot of
Starting point is 01:00:23 pictures. Man, you know what's so funny? On his Instagram. Let's see where he's at. Little Duval just texted me. Sleuth to my God, Little Duval. Look what he wrote. Little Duval's always traveling too. What did he write?
Starting point is 01:00:33 Look. He said, Envy balling. That goddamn Envy is balling. All right. Oh, look at this. That is the sentiment of most anybody who goes on DJ Envy's Instagram. Envy and Logan and Jackson all have on matching shorts right now on the beach. That's balling.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Let me go look at this. They all have on matching swimming trunks. Let me go look at this boy's Instagram right now. Oh, my gosh. Envy is weird. All right. We got ASCII coming up next. 1-800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Do you see this? If you have any questions for Angeline. This villa is incredible. I got one. I got one for you. Where the hell is DJ even getting all this goddamn money?
Starting point is 01:01:11 Yeah, there's something going on here because I don't know if you guys saw this 18,000 square foot private island villa in the middle of the Indian Ocean.
Starting point is 01:01:17 And why do they all have on SpongeBob SquarePants swim trunks? Him and both his sons. We'll talk about it. No, we won't. Look at his hairline. It's the world's most dangerous morning show.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Ask Ye is up next. That was us, Ye. You don't have to call how appropriate because it's time for Ask Ye. Right now, you do have to call. All right, who we got on the line? What's up? This is the boy, Jay from Miami. What up, Jay?
Starting point is 01:01:40 What's the problem? Hey, man, I taught myself a little predicament. I've been talking to the little chick on the side for about, you know, two years now. Dang. That's like a real relationship. You know, it's just something different. You feel me? Just something, you know, other than just home.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Okay. You know, just a different type of love or whatever. But recently, you know, I kind of messed up one night. And, you know, she told me, hey, I'm pregnant. Uh-oh. So I'm like, oh, you know, it's killing me because I got a lady at home. You know, we got two kids. You know, we got two kids. So I'm like, oh, man.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Well, the thing is, she told me she was down to do an abortion. Okay. So I said, okay. I gave her the money for the abortion. Just to find out, her friend, she's actually not pregnant. She used the abortion money to get Drake and Future tickets. Drop one of Clues bombs for this smart, savvy young woman.
Starting point is 01:02:25 Now, I will say this. A, are you happy that she's not pregnant? I'm ecstatic. I'm ecstatic. So what are you complaining about? I didn't know. Let this be a wake-up call for you. You know how scared you were when you thought your side chick was pregnant?
Starting point is 01:02:39 Just be glad all you had to do was give up some money for a fake abortion for some Future tickets. You better count your blessings. She could have been pregnant for real and had a baby. Count them blessings. What about them dollars? I work at Arby's. I forget your dollars, man. Listen, that's the bad karma that you get for cheating on your girl for two years.
Starting point is 01:02:57 And he work at Arby's. He should not have two women. You should not be allowed to side cheat. Period. That's your karma for you. That's it. You had to give up some money. Now what you gonna do?
Starting point is 01:03:06 You still gonna mess with her? That's the thing. It's like, should I mess with her after being so, you know, devious or like that? Like, that's kind of devious. You don't think you're devious?
Starting point is 01:03:13 I mean, you know, it's like a lifestyle. Hey, sir. You put out there, whatever energy you put out there, that's what you're getting back. Okay? You're lying at home.
Starting point is 01:03:21 Now your side piece lied to you and you're mad? You a liar too. I mean, technically. Okay. So what are you mad about? I lied to you and you're mad? You a liar too. I mean, technically. Okay. So what are you mad about? I don't understand what you're mad about. The girl's not pregnant.
Starting point is 01:03:30 She's not having a baby. You got her some future tickets. Yeah, but she lied to me. You lie every day to your wife. I mean, yeah. Angelina, you're just being technical. Like, who the hell is that? What you supposed to do?
Starting point is 01:03:43 Tell your wife the truth? I will say this. I hope that you got a nice wake-up call from this situation. I hope you said to yourself, man, I really dodged a bullet. I could have had another chick out here pregnant. I would have had to explain that to my wife. I was so nervous. Maybe I should chill.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Yeah, I mean, I definitely learned my pull-out game this week. So that little bit of money was a lesson learned to you, and thank goodness there's not another life involved now. You're definitely right. Bet that up, Ying. Okay. And you know what? Drake and Future Tickets are a great consolation prize. You know, you had sex with a girl for a few months.
Starting point is 01:04:13 That's the least you could do. She don't care about lying to you. You lie all the time. Now you got morals. You right about that. Alright. Alright. Sheesh. The real question is why you got side chicks when you work at Arby's? When you got Arby's, you're supposed to be with one girl that loves you for you. Okay? All right.

Starting point is 01:04:48 Well, I'm having problems with my boyfriend. Well, he's really like, I'm like the side chick or whatever. But it's been like this for like years, Yee, like years. And now I'm to the point where like, I don't know, like, I've been, like, really, like, having fun doing my thing. Like, I'm about to get my real estate license. And, like, this dude, all this time I've been with him, he's never invested any time, like, any money. Like, this dude is doing his thing. Like, he's really, like, doing his thing out here.
Starting point is 01:05:18 And, like, he's never, like, ever invested anything in me, like, as far as, like, you know, trying to help me build me to the point where I need to be to support our kids. Wait, wait, wait. You have kids with him? Yes, I have kids. I have two kids with him. And you're the side chick. She ain't no side chick. And I'm the side chick, yes. You a full-blown other wife. Does his wife know about you?
Starting point is 01:05:39 Yes, she knows about me. I went to the house, knocked on the door, let her know the business. I let her the house, knocked on the door, let her know the business. Like, I let her know about the kids and everything. And, like, it's just madness over here. It's just straight madness. She's a fine wife, yeah. And it's like, I'm trying to, like, keep my head focused and straight. Like, I know I can do better than this dude here.
Starting point is 01:05:57 I know I can. Like, I've done, like, I done partied with the best of them. Like, I've been to New York. I've been to Miami. Like, I do, I do. And he's just so jealous of that. Like, I've been to New York. I've been to Miami. I do, I do. And he's just so jealous of that. Like, he's so mad. Like, why the bum bitch you get to go
Starting point is 01:06:10 and not the other little bitches that I deal with get to go? Because you put money, oh, I got money, but you don't, bitch. Why you get to party with people like that and why not me? And I'm the one with the money
Starting point is 01:06:21 because I'm real and you ain't. That's what I keep telling him. Like, what about the Charlamagne? Stop it, Charlamagne. She thinks she winning. All right, I just want to say a couple of things here, hon. I'm not winning, Charlamagne, but I bet you if you see me, Charlamagne, I'll be kicking it with you, too. Don't sit there like, I mean, it is what it is.
Starting point is 01:06:40 You have what you have and I have what I have. Don't make it seem like I ain't winning either. Listen, hon, let's talk for a minute, okay? It sounds like you got yourself into a situation that you're in very deep right now. Yes. Okay. For some reason, you were okay with being a side chick and having kids with this man and this man hasn't done anything
Starting point is 01:06:57 for you. Yes. I mean, I held on to my property and stuff like that and all that stuff, like, you know, material things, but I need more than this now. I can't hold, you know what I mean? I held on to, like, my property and stuff like that and all that stuff. Like, you know, material things. But I need more than this now. Like, I can't hold. You know what I mean? I can't hold him at night.
Starting point is 01:07:10 I can't be with him at night. It's just, like, kind of. Well, listen, honey, but you knew he was in. Why are you acting like that, Charlamagne? Don't pay him any mind. But listen, when you laid down with this man, you already knew what the situation was, right? And by you accepting it, you made it seem like it was okay because all this time that you were with him, you never were able to do those things.
Starting point is 01:07:31 You had somebody else's man in your house. And now the consequences of that are you have two beautiful kids, but you have a man who can't be with you. And I think all along you knew he wasn't going to, I don't know if you thought he was going to leave his wife and his family and come I never asked him to. I never asked him to. I wanted it to come from him. And he's never going to do that?
Starting point is 01:07:52 No. And you're saying he's not even taking care of his kids? No, he takes care of them. I mean, that's where I think he could do better, but you know. What made you decide to go to confront his wife? Because clearly you knew about her, so then you went to go confront him. Because he had this to me that, like, I had moved on.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Like, it ain't like I'm trying to move on. But when I do move on, it's always like he steps to the dude, tries to fight people. And, like, I'm his property or something. I feel like roots or something. Like, I'm one of them bitches for roots or something. I've been watching that History Channel thing, and I feel like one of them bitches for roots or something. Like, I'm one of them bitches for roots or something. I've been watching that History Channel thing, and I feel like one of them bitches for roots or something. It's time for you to think higher of yourself and want better for yourself. I put a PSA out on him.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Like, I'm about to go down. She says you put a PSA out on him. PSA is a public service announcement. Public service announcement. No, PSA. And I'm not from the city. I'm from Pennsylvania, and that means protection from abuse. Oh.
Starting point is 01:08:47 So he's abusive to you also. He's abusive, too. Broke my wrist, broke my spleen, almost killed me. If I would've never went to the hospital, I would've died. Like, he just does a lot and disabled me, like, to where, you know, I'm sort of, like, disabled. I don't have nothing, ye. Well, listen, hold on the line. I'm just going to be starting all over again. Hold on the line, because we got to finish ASCII, but I'm going to talk to you offline. Just don't have nothing, Yee. Well, listen, hold on the line.
Starting point is 01:09:07 Hold on the line because we got to finish ASCII, but I'm going to talk to you offline. Just hold on a second, okay? Have a blessed day, baby. Yee, you're talking to a brick wall. You're tweeting and you ain't got no followers. Nobody sees what you're saying. This girl is not listening to you, okay?
Starting point is 01:09:17 She is lost. It's over. No, we're going to talk to her offline. You can't save these hoes. That's Jesus' job, Yee. Look, she's definitely made some poor decisions, but we're going to talk to her because there's some safety issues involved. She's saying that he's physically abusive. He broke her wrist. You know, she has kids.
Starting point is 01:09:32 She's lucky the wife didn't jump on her ass. That's what she needs to be worried about. Like she said, I'm not here to judge her for things that she's done, but if she wants to fix her life from here on out, we gotta do that. But it's Ask Yee. Once again, if you couldn't get through, breakfastclubam at gmail.com is the email.
Starting point is 01:09:48 And if you send me a DM on Instagram, I answer those too. Let me set you up, Yee. Okay, set me up. You got rumors coming up next? I surely do. Now we're going to talk about Tamar Braxton. She actually, on the episode of Braxton Family Values,
Starting point is 01:10:01 is talking about what happened on the rail. So you get to see that play out kind of in real time. Also, Mike Epps, he has apologized to Lyra Galore. You know Lyra Galore is Rick Ross' ex-fiancee. We'll tell you what happened. Your boy Lil Duvall was involved in this also. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:10:22 Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee.
Starting point is 01:10:29 It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Troy Abb's lawyer is asking for some eyewitnesses to come forward and let people know what happened in Irving Plaza. You asking people to snitch? Now, according to his lawyer, Scott Lee, many said, we understand some people have a complete lack of trust for law enforcement, especially NYPD and the investigations that they conduct. Based upon that belief, many refused to cooperate. But obviously, that information could be helpful to show that the real victims here are Banga, who died a hero trying to protect his lifelong friend, Troy Ave, and Troy himself, who was shot in the leg. So they need to make sure they get a good defense for Troy Ave, because if not, he could go to jail 10 years to life. Well, rest in peace to Banger.
Starting point is 01:11:12 It's interesting, though, because if you look at social media, all I see is a bunch of people talking. Right, but nobody's talking to the police. Y'all might as well be the way y'all talking on social media. Jesus Christ. His lawyer is saying if anybody has any videos, pictures, or other information from that night, please forward it to us with your contact information. They think
Starting point is 01:11:29 the video or the pictures of the conflict, anything could help get Troy Av off. Did the police know how many videos we done seen online? I mean, they have videos too, but I guess a lot of it, some things are just all the pieces of the puzzle aren't adding up yet. Well, they need to get an Instagram and start following Shade Room and Baller Alert and academics.
Starting point is 01:11:49 All right. Now let's discuss what happened on social media. Apparently, Lyra Galore, her Twitter got hacked. And whoever hacked her Twitter was putting out like all the people that were trying to holler at her in her DMs. That person also put out Mike Epps trying to holler at Lyra Galore and kind of went in on him on Twitter and on Instagram. Why you going to go in on somebody who's trying to holler at Lyra Galore? Lyra is a beautiful thing now. Well, Mike Epps responded by posting a picture of Lyra and said,
Starting point is 01:12:19 Why did this man lie on me? IG is the host role. Cetero Ave in Deshaies. Now, hold on. I saw that. So he was trying to say that Larry Galore's a man? Yes. Larry Galore don't look like no man, Mike Epps. I don't know what you're talking about. No, that wasn't very nice because clearly she was hacked, right? Little Duvall
Starting point is 01:12:35 jumped in. He said the bitch lying because they're hosting party gigs are slowing up. F her and all the basic ass bitches like her to make a living like this. And I wish y'all stopped supporting these Instagram models. Don't even like the pics. Just look at them hoes. That's all they good for anyway. Who hurt you Duvall? And when you do that you'll be able to
Starting point is 01:12:51 F them easier cause they self esteem low. What? Whoa. He took it to another level. He said. Then he goes on to say I only posted this cause Mike's my n-word and he's one of the few street n-words to make it in Hollywood and now that you got a new show about to air,
Starting point is 01:13:06 Uncle Buck, I refuse to let a whole bitch. Oh, yee. You didn't read this? Yee. Oh. All right.
Starting point is 01:13:20 I don't know where it stopped. I messed up. It's okay. She accidentally let a curse one slip. That's what the dumb button is for. Angela Yee was reading verbatim. Sorry. It happens.
Starting point is 01:13:32 There's a lot of curses in here. And then go look me dead in my eye and say, you didn't read this? That's not the reason I'm shocked, Yee. I'm shocked because you cursed over the air. I didn't realize I did that. It happened. It's live radio. Yeah, we're going to keep it moving.
Starting point is 01:13:43 I don't understand why Lyricalore is getting all that slander. Well, she didn't understand it either. And she actually posted a picture, an email from the person saying, hey, I'm the person that hijacked your Twitter. Please email me back. I'm willing to give it. But I knew she had got hacked. I saw that like a few days ago.
Starting point is 01:13:58 Right. So she was like, you know, she said it's not a publicity stunt. She's not trying to be famous. And she said she had enough respect to not engage and you disrespecting your woman and your relationship. You're welcome. Then she said, put some respect on my name. Hey, Duvall, before you come to the defense of somebody,
Starting point is 01:14:14 you got to make sure you know the whole story, sir. Right. Okay, because you just slandered that girl for no damn reason. Well, Mike, he took it down. Duvall took it down. And Mike Epps apologized. He said, I want to personally apologize to this young lady for what's said and take responsibility for my actions as well as her and my fans. I'm not normal being a comedian. I have a daughter and I would not want any man to talk to my daughter like that.
Starting point is 01:14:34 Sorry, Lyric Galore and any of you cowards got something to say to me. Check my dates and say it to my face. And Lyric Galore does not look like a man. OK, we are in the era of the transgender, transsexual. We know what a man looks like. Okay, well that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. Okay, now this transition is going to be a little tricky
Starting point is 01:14:53 because I don't know exactly what... Oh, People's Choice Mix with DJ Envy, Mr. Vacation himself. Okay? Mr. Vacay. Is he Muslim now?
Starting point is 01:15:01 I saw a picture of Envy and his wife at a mosque and she had on three-fourths of cloth. They were just dealing with the culture there and fitting in. Oh, all right. Well, the People's Choice Mix is up next.
Starting point is 01:15:10 What, boy? Why does the white man wait? Say goodbye to Revolt. Oh, Revolt. Peace. Y'all be cool. We see y'all tomorrow. Okay?
