Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:00:16 What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. We need help!

That's what my podcast

It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

How y'all feeling? What's up, guys? Your phone keeps breaking up. You keep cutting in and out this morning. Oh. What a way to start the show. Yeah. Y'all sound the same way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:54 So maybe it's, uh... No, you sound fine. Envy sounds fine. Oh. Sounds like it's breaking in and out, like it's chopping in and out. But anyway, good morning, guys. What you guys did yesterday? Anything entertaining?
Starting point is 00:03:06 Anything fun? I know you're out in Mexico. Yes, I'm in Playa del Carmen. What I did yesterday, I actually had to work all day yesterday. This is a working trip, so I didn't even go outside in the sun at all. So I just was in my suite working. I seen a pichuchu out on the deck. Yeah, that was from the day before.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Oh, okay. On Boohoo to you, you got to work where it's nice by the beach. Boohoo. I'll tell you, it's been more inspirational for me because I've been home for so long that this actually has been making me feel more productive. Like to be able to be here in a different environment
Starting point is 00:03:44 where it's sunny out and to go out on the balcony and all of that and be able to just take care of things. It's made me feel a little bit more productive. Gotcha. Okay. Well, today T.I. will be joining us. We'll kick it with T.I. Trouble Man 31, Clifford Harris.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I like what Tip is doing. It's in the same vein as billionaire Robert Smith. Billionaire Robert Smith has his 2% plan where he wants corporations to give up 2% of their net income to black banks. Just things in the black community. He wants them to give up 2% of their net come every year for the next 10 years. And now T.I. is taking it a step further because he wants 10% from corporations that have absolutely benefited from the slave trade. Right. And so he's after Lords of London right now. That's right.
Starting point is 00:04:35 We can have T.I. on to explain that, plus a whole host of other things. You know, T.I. is a podcast host now. He's a media personality. He can talk about a range of things. Yeah, so we'll kick it with T.I. in a little bit. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about, Yee? There's a lot going on back in New Jersey.
Starting point is 00:04:53 We'll talk about a lawyer who has been identified as a shooter who killed a judge, Esther Salas' son. Not the judge, but killed her son and then also shot, and her husband is in critical condition in the hospital. Alright, we'll get into it next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the Gal. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. We don't talk the fact
Starting point is 00:05:17 that we play that song the same time every morning it seems like, but it's the number one song in the country. It is. Baby and Roddy Ricch, rock star. So we can play that song. Yeah, Charlamagne's cutting in and out. We're cutting in and out, bro. You can hear every other word you say.
Starting point is 00:05:36 That's the way he wants it. Maybe I'm going to say something crazy. All right, well, let's get into some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's take it to St. Louis first. A couple aimed guns at protesters that were marching past their home. This was in St. Louis. And now they are being charged.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Lawyers Mark McCloskey, 61, and Patricia McCloskey, she's 63. They said that they were defending their home on a private street in an upscale neighborhood from a crowd that was marching to the mayor's house to protest racial injustice. It was a peaceful march. In this video and photographs, they're outside holding a rifle and a pistol as marchers are going past their house. Nobody was bothering them. They're saying that they were legally defending their home and people who felt that they were menacing peaceful protesters. So they said that the protests over racial injustice are a concerted effort to destroy our way of life,
Starting point is 00:06:28 to change the fundamental social contract, do away with capitalist democracy, and replace it with mob rule. So he said, we're not going to apologize for what is right. I wonder how I feel about that, though. Because, you know, if I put myself in their shoes and you're in your house and you see protesters walking on your lawn or in your yard or they're around your house, what would you do? Yeah, but you don't point it at the protesters. Nobody's going into their house.
Starting point is 00:07:01 I mean, how many times as a kid you walked on somebody's lawn? How many times have you done something on somebody's lawn? But they didn't, you know, it wasn't no threatening manner. You know, the whole thing with a pistol and making sure that nobody hurts you is totally different than being an aggressor. They weren't defending themselves. It looked like they were walking past their house. I don't know if they're in a gated community, but the gate was open
Starting point is 00:07:25 when the protesters walked through and they were peacefully protesting. Yes, and most of the protesters are peacefully protesting, but the media doesn't show you that. There was months and at least 30 days straight where the media showed you the worst of the
Starting point is 00:07:42 protests. They showed you people's buildings getting on fire and people's buildings getting vandalized and damaged. So I think that has stuck in a lot of people's heads. And when you're telling these folks that, hey, these BLM protesters are violent and they're going to damage your property, I can see why people would be on edge and
Starting point is 00:07:57 grab their pistols. Because the media reinforced that narrative. But you're supposed to be defending yourself, right? And you can walk outside with your pistol or walk outside with your gun. But then when you start pointing at people, now that changes that narrative. But you're supposed to be defending yourself, right? And you can walk outside with your pistol or walk outside with your gun. But then when you start pointing at people, now that changes the narrative. That changes the narrative totally. I agree wholeheartedly. They could have incited something to happen.
Starting point is 00:08:15 I'm just saying I can see both sides. I agree why they would react the way they would react. Well, they're saying it is illegal to wave weapons in a threatening manner at those participating in nonviolent protests. And didn't the governor say that if they do get arrested, he's going to pardon them or something? Yeah, the governor doesn't agree with this. If they're charged, he said, I think that's exactly what would happen,
Starting point is 00:08:34 that he would likely pardon them. But I think it's just a summons situation. So, even though they could face potential charges, it seems like they'll just have to pay a summons or, you know, and they consider this a low level crime. All right. Now let's go to what happened in New Jersey. Judge Salas, who serves on the federal bench in New Jersey, her son was fatally shot and her husband is in critical condition, but stable condition in the hospital. And the suspect was a white man who wore a face covering and a FedEx uniform,
Starting point is 00:09:06 according to law enforcement sources. And he used an ordinary car to make a getaway. That suspect has now been identified as Roy Den Hollander. He's a Manhattan lawyer and self-described anti-feminist, according to multiple law enforcements. His body was discovered in a car by a municipal employee in the town of Rockland, New York. He died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to sources. A FedEx package that was addressed to Judge Silas was also discovered in the car.
Starting point is 00:09:35 So they said at about 5 p.m. he knocked at the door to the family's home in North Brunswick. Daniel, who is the son, answered the door. He was shot first, and then his father was also shot. What Netflix show is this from? That sounds like something that you see on a TV show. Who wrote that script? Like, that's old school. Somebody pulls up to your crib,
Starting point is 00:09:57 dressed like somebody else, and shoots you, then kills himself. Like, who was that person trying to silence? What message were they trying to send? Like, what was that about? Do they know? He did actually have a case before her previously. And that case, he actually was removed from that case. So he never finished that one out.
Starting point is 00:10:16 But I'm not really sure, you know, what this was about. He actually was considered himself anti-feminist. He had previously sued nightclubs in Manhattan for favoring women by offering ladies' night discounts. He sued the federal government over a law that protects women from violence. He sued Columbia University for offering women's studies courses. He said the school was using government
Starting point is 00:10:35 aid to teach a religionist belief system called feminism. Yo, to sue somebody over ladies' night is hilarious. A bunch of us men could have had that lawsuit You never hear no men free before no time Ain't no men's night No
Starting point is 00:10:54 You're not going to the right clubs That is true, you're not going to the right clubs Dramos You need EJ at your clubs Do they have that? They have what? Free Free Men before
Starting point is 00:11:09 Free 12 men Men before Like 12 I just show up in DJ man I don't know I'm not sure I'm not sure that works Now you just show up in DJ

And then what I wanted to say is that situation you had with that white guy, man, I had a similar situation, but they was f***ed up. Dude was standing
Starting point is 00:15:57 over, like I was about to go drop my son off before I rode my bike, and dude was standing over a female on the front yard and she was holding her hands up so I was confused like what is going on so I rode by like four times but then I hear her saying stop stop and look like she was crying so I rode by and uh then he walked away and she followed him so I'm like should I call the cops and then I'm like nah so uh later on a couple hours later I went back to my parents my mom was like, nah. So later on, a couple hours later, I went back to my parents.
Starting point is 00:16:25 My mom was like, man, I recorded this dude beating on a chick. And I was like, did he have dreads? And the chick had blue on, and she was like, yep. And I was like, damn, I felt kind of bad. But then my mom was saying, he was like, well, he was screaming at her saying, you was effing on my brother. But I felt bad because I probably could have prevented it. But then again, I was
Starting point is 00:16:46 just like, man, I don't want to get in that situation and the cops think it's me because I got dreads. He got dreads. You know what I'm saying? So it's kind of tough, bro. Let me ask you a question. You're black, right? You're all black, right? Yeah. Okay, just making sure. You said the N-word
Starting point is 00:17:02 like a white man. I'm not going to lie to you. So you didn't call the cops or anything? I'm trying to be better, man, and not use ****, man. Yeah, because you said it like a white man. You said it like you didn't really want to say it, but it flowed out of your mouth so fluently. It didn't sound right. Well, Shandaleah, you know, enjoy the gel shorts, brother.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Change your life. I'm going to do a big ride. That just hurt my heart. What would you do if you saw a man beating on a woman? That you got to stop. You got to stop that. You got to stop that. That one you're going to be.

Starting point is 00:18:22 So you still consider this person your friend? No, I stopped talking to him because he's trying to call my wife early in the morning and stuff. And I talked to her and she just says, like, he's just a friend, Chris. You know, we've been together like 21 years. Oh, no, that's ridiculous. You need to tell her, A, I saw what he sent to you. I don't like the conversation that y'all have. And you don't need to be speaking to him and I don't even understand why would you entertain
Starting point is 00:18:48 this and he needs to be cut off but you need to let her know we've been together 21 years and we're not entertaining that as a unit. That's true. Sometimes we're there in the bed and it's like, you know, she's not there because I'm not feeling that vibe
Starting point is 00:19:04 that we had because it's just killing me and then she's like screaming her call. You know, she's not there because I'm not feeling that vibe that we had because it's just killing me. And then she's like screaming her car. You know, sometimes she takes her phone to the bathroom and stuff. Yeah, that's not good. Hold on a second, sir. Sounds like they need to work on their relationship.

Starting point is 00:23:07 Whether you're mad or blessed We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Zach Zach, get it off your chest Yo, man, I just want to let you know That judge that got shot out there By the FedEx driver
Starting point is 00:23:20 She was the judge on the Epstein case Oh, so you think it has something to do with that? Oh, it absolutely does You can look up her case file. She's currently on that case. There was. Yeah, I heard that she got put on there like four weeks ago. The judge didn't get shot, though. Yeah, she was a judge. That's her salsa. She's a judge.
Starting point is 00:23:36 No, no, I'm saying that the judge isn't the one who got shot. Yeah, but you sent a message to her. Right. Just to be clear. You sent a message to her to shoot her by shooting her son and her husband. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's got to be something to it. I just want to say, man, I usually don't typically agree with much you say.
Starting point is 00:23:53 But, I mean, I listen anyway to hear the outside opinion. But, man, I really appreciate you looking at both sides of the coin this morning. I mean, they are absolutely wrong for pointing those guns at those people. But the pictures I saw, they pulled down that gate to come down into the neighborhood. So, I mean, you know, it's just... No, they said the gate was open. They said the gate was open. According to video and surveillance footage.
Starting point is 00:24:14 They didn't pull it down. Interesting. Well, thank you, sir. Hey, good morning. Get it off your chest. I don't understand how come these Republican governors, with all this s*** going on, they want to send these kids to school. It doesn't make any sense. Has this world made sense to you the past four years?
Starting point is 00:24:30 It definitely doesn't. I know one thing. We need to get out and vote these Trump out of office because it makes no sense to send these kids. I'm not sending my son to school until it's straight down. And I live here in New York. Yeah, but you know what? Other communities, I was out yesterday,
Starting point is 00:24:45 and a lot of other communities have opened it up, and they are allowing their kids to school. I'm with you. I don't think I'm going to let my kids go to school. But you also got to understand, if you don't allow your kids to go to school, and they're not offering virtual classes, you have to be the teacher,
Starting point is 00:24:58 or your wife has to be the teacher. And you got to go back to first and second grade to really go back to teach these kids how to do math problems and how to do different things. Do you remember all that stuff? Because I know I'm sitting here like I'm confused. That new math is hard. Oh, I definitely don't.
Starting point is 00:25:15 No, I definitely don't. What would make you feel comfortable? Can kids be homeschooled, though, as far as through the school system where they get the classes? You know what I'm saying? No, they're not offering that. At least in Jersey they're not. Okay, okay. What would make you feel comfortable? I don't think
Starting point is 00:25:33 nothing would make me feel comfortable. If one kid get it, they're all going to get it. I'm never going to feel comfortable. You know? Right. I even thought about putting my kids, I wanted to put my kids in camp. It's a smaller camp, but at least they can, you know, be with their friends. They can start to get out the house a little bit.
Starting point is 00:25:52 My wife looked at me like I was crazy. I was like, it's a small camp. It's not that many kids we know. She was like, no. So, it's Camp Casey here, brother. I live in Greenberg, and I have summer camps. And so far, everything's been good. But I'm just worried about the school, you know, opening up the schools in September here in New York.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Who watches your kids during the day if they're at home and you have to work? Well, my son is 17. Okay. Oh, so they're older. Yeah. And Angela, you met my son years ago. You was a judge at a singing contest at the Milk River, and you gave some great advice. If you go to my page, MrLeaks55, you can see a picture of him
Starting point is 00:26:33 at the Milk River. Okay, I'll take a look. He was 9 to 10. And Charlamagne. Yes, sir. You always say you want to give everybody a platform. Can you do me a favor? Are you Envy and Ezra checking out his video on YouTube?

Now, we got rumors on the way, E? Yes, and
Starting point is 00:27:19 a congratulations is in order, man. There's been so many things happening, and I'm happy to give you all some good news. All right, we'll get into that next Keep It Locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:27:37 We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Elon Musk. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. With Angela Yee.
Starting point is 00:27:47 It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Elon Musk is now the fifth richest person in the world. His net worth is $74.2 billion, and he just added $5 billion to his net worth on Monday just because of Tesla's stock. So just a few weeks ago, he was number 20 on the global rankings. Now he's number five. Yeah, you know, I think Tesla is a great vehicle.
Starting point is 00:28:11 I had my doubts early on, and it seems like they're doing real well. The cars are holding up. People really enjoy the cars, and they're saving a lot of money and helping the environment. I want to tell them congratulations, but doesn't he need it? Yeah, and then, you know, then not only that, they have the, what is that thing called that they're doing on the houses now, the solar energy that they're doing on the houses and all the other buildings.
Starting point is 00:28:33 They said those solar panels are really selling like crazy, where they don't look as ugly as some of the other solar panels. What they're doing is they're taking the tiles and shingles off your house and putting the solar panels there so the shingles are actually a solar panel so it doesn't look as awkward as some of those other houses. So, yeah, I get it. Congrats to him. Alright, now congrats to Nicki Minaj.
Starting point is 00:28:53 She is pregnant and she made her announcement. She posted a picture of herself and her pregnant belly and this hashtag was hashtag preggers. Now that I can say wholeheartedly congratulations to. Drop on the clues bombs for Nicki Minaj. Congrats to Nicki.
Starting point is 00:29:10 She posted another picture. And she wrote love, marriage, baby carriage. Overflowing with excitement and gratitude. Thank you all for the well wishes. It feels like Nicki has always known what it is she's wanted to do in that space. Like, it seems like she's always wanted to be a mother. She's always wanted to be married. So I'm happy that she's happy.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Salute to Nicki Minaj. Yeah, so congrats. She really kept that under wraps for a while. She did the video with Tekashi and everybody was saying she looks pregnant. But, you know, you never want to say that about somebody. And it turns out she is. And how much of a snitch is Takashi69 not? Because he clearly
Starting point is 00:29:48 knew that she was pregnant but didn't say anything. Now, we don't know that he knew that. She might not have told him. He can't hold a little water. Shut up, man. We don't know if he even knew. Alright, and in more good news, Tamar Braxton is awake and alert and has been moved to another
Starting point is 00:30:03 hospital, so prayers for Tamar Braxton after her suicide attempt. She was found unresponsive at her house in L.A. on Thursday night. Her boyfriend is the person that called 911. She was rushed to the hospital having overdosed on a prescription medication. They actually have released the 911 call. This is her boyfriend, David, out of Faso. My girlfriend is not responding. Are you with her right now?
Starting point is 00:30:26 Yes. She's not awake. Okay. Can you wake her up? Try to wake her up. I'm speaking. She has a little bit of her eye open. All right, sir.
Starting point is 00:30:34 Like I said, we're on the way. I'm going to stay on the line with you. Okay. She's been drinking. It's like a half a bottle. She's on medication for depression. I don't know how much. She sent a letter
Starting point is 00:30:45 earlier. Anyway, just ask him to hurry. Jesus Christ. I'm one of those humans that I simply don't want to hear everything. I don't need to hear everything. I don't need to see everything. I understand we're in the age of transparency, but sometimes all we're doing is sharing trauma. And all I heard is that brother
Starting point is 00:31:01 right there going through a traumatic experience. I did not need to hear that. Right, and he also. Are you ever truly free? He said, are you ever truly free? And here that part is right here. She was very angry earlier on. She has trouble with the network.
Starting point is 00:31:16 She's just a company she's working with. And they did some things today. And she, no way. This before. I hope this is not. I just f***ing didn't work. And it's come to this. At what point are you really free?
Starting point is 00:31:43 And I don't understand how they're able to release those 911 calls. It just seems like that should be against the law unless you have to use it in a court case or something. Like, all these people are calling with this drama and they're having problems and I don't think they should be able to release those 911 calls. It sounds like a violation of
Starting point is 00:31:59 privacy only because it is usually such a traumatic experience and nobody should have to relive that by hearing that over and over, especially in America. But, you know, like literally the brother said at the end, are you ever truly free? As a black person in America, no, you are not. That is a fact. That's what Kanye was trying to tell y'all the other day. But he's not the best communicator, so it came out stupid.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Well, let's keep our prayers up for Tamar. She's been visited in the hospital by her sisters, Tawanda, Trina, and Tracy, and Tiny has been there, Viola Davis, NeNe Leakes, Claudia Jordan. All of them have showed their support online. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. Now we got front-page news coming up.
Starting point is 00:32:43 What are we talking about? You know what? Let's do some coronavirus updates. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. And don't forget, next hour, T.I. will be joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:32:53 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with coronavirus. The NBA says there's been no new positive COVID-19 test results since July 13th. So the 346 players that have been tested since then, there have been no positive results.
Starting point is 00:33:18 I mean, they live in a bubble. There shouldn't be any positive notes, right? Positive results. If everybody's in that bubble and everybody's been getting tested before they get in the bubble they shouldn't have any problems correct well it could be also sometimes it doesn't show up right away you know so not sure but that's how Russell Westbrook it clicked so fast because I swear just a few days ago uh we was reporting the coronavirus and he wasn't able to get to the bubble. Now they say he's taking two tests, and he's... We also don't know how long he...
Starting point is 00:33:50 We also don't know how long he had it, though. So he could have had it already. I asked that question a couple of weeks ago, and people looked at me crazy. I was like, so what if you're already on the 14th day of having it, but on that day, you test positive? You still got a quarantine 14 days? But they don't know. But you don't know how long you have it. So if you're on the 14th day,
Starting point is 00:34:11 you don't know it's the 14th day. You don't know exactly. Or the second day or the first day. Right, you don't know what day you got it. So it's hard to tell. All right, now Donald Trump says that he's planning to bring back these coronavirus updates.
Starting point is 00:34:24 They might start again today. Listen to this. We had very successful briefings. I was doing them and we had a lot of people watching, record numbers watching. In the history of cable television, television has never been anything like it. And we were doing very well. And I thought it would be sort of automatic and a lot of positive things were happening. And frankly, a lot of the country is doing well, a lot of people are saying, as you understand.
Starting point is 00:34:49 But we have had this big flare up in Florida, Texas, a couple of other places. And so I think what we're going to do is I'll get involved and we'll start doing briefings. This is not a reality show, Mr. President. We don't care about your rave news. We don't care about your record numbers. What about your record numbers of coronavirus? Okay, don't. The American people care about his results.
Starting point is 00:35:13 And right now, he's stuck in the house past four months because of you. Y'all better fix Charlamagne Mike, man. Yeah, Charlamagne, your mic is going. Y'all better fix Charlamagne Mike, man. It's going in and out, in and out. You sound like you're going fast forward and rewind. It's going in and out, in and out. In and out, Danny. You sound like you're going fast forward and rewind.
Starting point is 00:35:27 It's crazy. Yeah, because I'm going to quit. I'm going to be back in a minute because this is disused. Okay. We couldn't even hear you. I don't even know if you said, if you're going back to bed. I don't know what he said. We couldn't hear you.
Starting point is 00:35:36 But Trump also tweeted a photo of himself wearing a mask. Because I told you I'd fix it. I'm out. All right. Donald Trump also tweeted a photo of himself wearing a mask and said, we are united in our effort to defeat the invisible China virus. And many people say that it is patriotic to wear a face mask when you can't socially distance.
Starting point is 00:35:58 There is nobody more patriotic than me, your favorite president. Governor Cuomo is telling New Yorkers to stop ignoring the rules and cut it out and be safe. Listen to this. To the partiers who come out, I understand the frustration, but I'm telling you it has to stop. And I'm telling you in plain New York speak as a born and bred New Yorker, it's stupid what you're doing.
Starting point is 00:36:24 We're going to have to roll back the opening plan and we're going to have to close bars and restaurants. Yeah, I ain't got front. Some of them have been very, very disrespectful. I mean, but I also get it too. I also feel like they've been closed for three, four months. The summer months are their best times where they can make the most amount of money. So they're doing the little things that they usually wouldn't do. They're, you know, the sidewalk cafe that has been crowded, the sidewalk clubs have been crowded, the day parties and brunch parties have been crowded.
Starting point is 00:36:50 But, you know, these people haven't been making money in four or five months. You know, you got bartenders, you got club owners, you got DJs, you got bartenders, you got bottle girls, you got the dudes that just pick up the, you know, the whatever they call, pick up the bottles and bring the cold ice and all that. Like there's a lot of people that survive off of bars and clubs. So, I mean, while they get it, they're trying to get it. All right. Here's what else Cuomo said during this briefing. We know enough about this virus to know that there are inevitable consequences to our actions. If you have congregations of people,
Starting point is 00:37:26 they are going to spread the virus. Now, many of these congregations tend to be young people. It's not just about you. It's about who you could infect and who you could hurt. And it has continued unabated, and it's getting worse. And I am telling you, it is a problem. Yeah, I get what he's saying. And I've been thinking about this, right? And this is how, you know, big corporations win. Now, you don't want the small guy who owns the bar and the small guy that owns the nightclub and the small guy that owns the restaurant to open. But yet you open thing up like Disney World, you open up all these water parks, you open up all these zoos, you open up the parks, you allow kids to go to camp.
Starting point is 00:38:06 You allow kids to go to school. And although people could say, well, it's not the same, but it is the same because that's somebody's well-being. So the fact that you allow all these other places where you have huge populations
Starting point is 00:38:15 of people coming, the zoo, the parks and all that, you don't allow these smaller clubs to open. You got to be able to do both. You can't say, OK, you could open up the water parks and you could open up Disney World
Starting point is 00:38:25 where flocks of people go, but then you don't open up the small person's club or the small person's restaurant. But I guess it's also space too, because if you have a lot of space, you can allow a certain number of people to come in and be at, say, one third of capacity and people can social distance.
Starting point is 00:38:42 But if you're in a really small club, that's a harder thing to do. Have you seen the beach? There's no space. There's just tons and tons and tons of people. Now listen, I'm just saying, like Disney World, I know that they're saying that they only allow a certain number of people
Starting point is 00:38:54 to come there, right? Yeah, that's what they say. But there's still a lot of people. Like you have a lot of people in line waiting for food. You have a lot of people online waiting to buy clothes. You have a lot of people online
Starting point is 00:39:03 waiting for the trolley. Like there's still a lot of people out there, you know? So it's, and not for nothing, Disney World has billions. The guy that owns that small local restaurant that can't do indoor eating doesn't have nowhere near that. So they're really, really suffering, you know? Right. Well, you know, I think, and a lot of people have been doing doing take out And they have been allowing people to get drinks to go And all of that, so I know some people have managed
Starting point is 00:39:28 To sustain their businesses And some people haven't, I saw they were saying about One third of small businesses in New York Will end up closing Ah, super duper sad Alright, well that is your front page news Alright, now when we come back T.I. will be joining us.
Starting point is 00:39:45 We'll kick it with T.I. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, and Jalee. Showing them in the guide.
Starting point is 00:39:57 We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line right now. Yes, sir. What's happening? Last week, it was 50 Cent. Now, you want to smoke with Lloyd's in sir. What's happening? Last week it was 50 Cent. Now you want to smoke with Lloyds in London. What's happening? Man, I'm bored, bro. Nah, to be honest with you, bro, I think
Starting point is 00:40:17 last week, I think it was a fun idea, you know, to challenge 50's catalog and, you know, and play 20 records of mine versus his. That was a fun idea. And I just think he kind of – I think he's reluctant to do so for some reason. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:40:38 You know what I'm saying? But a lot of respect for 50. And I'm a fan of his music. You know, if it ever does happen, you know what I'm saying, I think regardless of the outcome, which I shall be victorious, but I think it'll be entertaining for the fans more than anything else. Now, you guys don't have problems. People thought you had beef, but you guys actually are in business with each other.
Starting point is 00:40:57 You guys have shows that you're working on. So it's not problems. It's just having a little bit of fun. Yeah, absolutely, man. I feel like 50 and 50 and i man we have a mutual respect for one another and i always have and you know uh it was a personal you know i'm saying it was just if i ever go head to head with anybody it's gonna have to be somebody who have uh let's just say a robust ego you dig what what I'm saying? It got to be somebody who ain't intimidated by my personality.
Starting point is 00:41:28 And I felt like 50 is one of the most monstrosity of ego that you can have. So I just felt that it was a proper matchup. And with our professional affiliation, I feel nothing but good can come from it. It seemed like it got a little disrespectful for a second. When they posted the
Starting point is 00:41:52 Crime Stopper commercial and then I guess Yeo saw K-Dub in New York. I mean, I don't know. Let's just say that K-Dub and Yeo, let's just call that a coincidence. You know what I'm saying? Let's just call that a coincidence. You know what I'm saying? Let's just call that a coincidence, a timely coincidence.
Starting point is 00:42:08 I have no reason to believe that one was directly related to the other. Just a misunderstanding amongst two men or a few men, especially when there's alcohol involved. It's been known to happen. So you know what I'm saying? We ain't going to make too much out of that. We've moved far past that and beyond that now as far as uh uh as far as the the video i just feel like that's just a strategy of of of an opponent when you playing chess across from each other i don't
Starting point is 00:42:36 take no offense to that uh but i still will let the fact uh be stated i have never given any information on any person to implicate them in any crime ever whatsoever at all. So that video don't bother me. You get what I'm saying? And it shouldn't, especially, man, you know, a couple weeks ago that young 8-year-old girl got killed in Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:43:00 And, yo, it's times like that where we need people to speak out and say what's going on. Exceptions are made for exceptional circumstances, man. I feel like those are exceptional circumstances. It's not like me and you go rob a bank, I get caught, you get away, and I tell
Starting point is 00:43:16 your name. That's different. Did y'all talk at all, though? Did you and 50 ever communicate on this at all? Vaguely, yeah, we did. We did. I kind of prepped the gas a little more than he anticipated, I believe. Now, you know, T.I., you are a very wise individual. Did you see Boosie say he would have served a full sentence
Starting point is 00:43:38 rather than participate in the Crime Stoppers commercial? What would be your advice to him? I have no advice for him. As men, we all have decisions that we have our own decisions to make, and if that's his, I respect that. I respect that. If I catch another case, you can see it. You can expect another commercial.
Starting point is 00:43:56 You got to go catch another case. I'm just letting you know now. That's why I draw the line. I ain't that gangster. You dig what I'm saying? I'm not that gangster. I'm nothing to tell on you. But, you know what I'm saying, if something happens and me doing this commercial can get me, you know, a favorable outcome, I'm going to do that every time.
Starting point is 00:44:15 For people that don't know what Lloyd's of London is, Charlamagne mentioned earlier, explain to people what Lloyd's of London is and what they do. For people that don't know. Lloyd's of London, and what they do for people that don't know? Uh, Lloyd's of London, uh, they're a financial entity. Uh, uh, they,
Starting point is 00:44:29 they are lending, uh, and, and insurance. Yeah. They, they ensure, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:37 weird things like, you know what I'm saying? They might ensure, uh, opera singles, vocal chords, or they might, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:44:44 Like just, just different things. I believe they insure all of professional sports. They're a $56 billion company, and they got, they started, they became a valuable, lucrative entity. Ironically, the day the first ship docked in America from Africa, full of slaves. They lent money to the colonizers to build and buy ships. They insured the cargo, which were our ancestors. And, you know, if some of them happened to not make it, well, then, you know, their client merely paid a deductible and he was paid in full for his loss of cargo. And, of course, as the transatl as our people were ripped from our heritage, our religion, our language, our native land,
Starting point is 00:45:54 and they prospered off of that process. And be that as it may. And also, they've also acknowledged the shameful role that they played in it all and apologized, which is noble. We do appreciate you holding yourselves accountable and acknowledging the role you played. But I don't think, given the severity of the nature of this outcome, I don't think that an apology will suffice. And I feel like that is why someone needs to be speaking up and directing the course of action to somewhere realistic, somewhere reasonable, and somewhere effective for us and our people.
Starting point is 00:46:36 All right, we got more with T.I. when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with T.I. Yee. So what are some actionable steps you think Lloyds of London should take? Us, the descendants, I believe, are entitled to at least 10% of Lloyds of London, the entity, in perpetuity. Because they built this empire off of the blood, sweat, and tears in the
Starting point is 00:47:06 backs of our ancestors. And they're giving, and not just slavery. All of the things that come after slavery, whether it's Jim Crow segregation, even right now the police brutality and everything that we deal with. Drugs.
Starting point is 00:47:21 Everything. I love it. Mass incarceration. I love it. You incarceration. I love it. You know what I'm saying? Us being poverty stricken. All of that is a result of their participation in the transatlantic slaves trade. So their empire, you know, their $56.8 billion is all fruit from a poisonous tree. I love it. And in addition to us having 10%, if they can lend money, surely they can lend a $1 million at 1% interest with no guarantor to every black person who is a descendant of slavery in America. I mean, it's not far-fetched at all. Robert Smith is doing the 2% plan where he
Starting point is 00:48:01 wants, you know, corporate America's, he feels like the best way to reverse corporate America's history of structural racism is for big banks and large companies to spend the next 10 years investing 2% of their net income, you know, in the banking and telecom and technology and education and healthcare infrastructure in the black community. So you're not,
Starting point is 00:48:20 you're right there, Tip. That's right. I like it. I spoke to Robert Schmidt, Tip. That's right. I like it. I spoke to Robert Schmiltz, man. I let him review the letter before I sent it out. I told him of my plan. I asked him to surround me with whatever infrastructure that I needed to carry it at from point A to point Z. I also called Puff. I also called Jay-Z.
Starting point is 00:48:43 I also called Killer Mike. I also called Tameka Mallory. I'm not just in this on my own by myself. I am enlisting. I also called you, Charlemagne. Yes, sir. I am enlisting the minds and strategies of people who have more information than me, who are smarter than me, who may have a different perspective than me, and who have a different position in the financial structure of society to me. So is this what reparations looks like to you? Yeah, absolutely. It's the beginning of it.
Starting point is 00:49:13 We have to create an economic base. We have the value of our spending power, but when we take that dollar and put it outside our community, then it's not an economic base at that point anymore. And I feel like having equity in companies that have been proving to be financially profitable over the past, call it 400 or so years. So having a percentage in companies like that, I feel will develop this economic base and allow us to build our communities the way we have been in need of for hundreds of years.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Has anyone responded yet from lawyers of London? No, not yet. Not yet. I mean, you know, it's over the weekend. I'm sure they had a pretty busy weekend on the golf course and whatnot. So, you know, now that it's Monday and they're back in their office, I know they've received it because Forbes published an article about it.
Starting point is 00:50:09 And the truth of the matter is, Lords of London, I mean, Lords of London, they put themselves in this situation. I guess we respect them for coming forward and admitting their wrongs publicly. But now, what you going to do about that? We need more than just an apology. Absolutely. I think it's only right. I think it's fair.
Starting point is 00:50:27 This is a matter of morality. So you've already said that, you know, morally, you're ashamed of the role you played. Okay. Well, now, I'm showing you how to fix it. Let's see how ashamed you are of it. Let's see if you really mean that or if it's just lip service and you just talking like all the other fancy white men
Starting point is 00:50:46 have been doing for the past 400 years to us. How you feeling right now, Tip, about the state of the world? Like everything we just went through, the protests, the coronavirus, just everything. What do you think about the state of the black community right now? They are definite atrocities, but it's expected. It's the swell. You know what I mean? This country and our position in this country was founded on violence, intimidation, and fear tactics. You know what I'm saying? So the way you begin a situation
Starting point is 00:51:18 is the way it will end. You know what I mean? Until we stand up and do something to stop the atrocities that happen to us, they will persist. Like, our children, when they go to kindergarten, preschool, they learn from their curriculum about heroes that were basically made heroes for enslaving
Starting point is 00:51:39 our people. You can never catch a Jewish community sending their children to a school that teaches their children that Hitler was a hero. Never. We have to create opportunities for ourselves and our people. We have to. There are a lot more. There are more black entrepreneurs today than ever before.
Starting point is 00:51:57 But unfortunately, it's just not enough. You know what I'm saying? So opportunities is a big thing. And exposure. Okay. The reason why black kids are mostly, you know, we gravitate toward hip hop. We gravitate toward basketball, football, baseball. We gravitate towards entertainment because those are the things that we have been exposed to. So education, opportunities, and exposure. Those are the things that we have been exposed to. Correct. So education, opportunities, and exposure, those are the things that plague our communities.
Starting point is 00:52:29 And in order to fulfill those things or bring those three things into fruition, we need an economic base. Now Tip, do you ever say to yourself, man, damn, you look around and everything's going on in the world and how crazy people getting these white supremacists, these militias, everybody. You ever say, damn, now's a horrible time
Starting point is 00:52:47 to not be able to own a gun? I mean, yes, I do say that. I do say that. But luckily for me, man, I have people, I'm surrounded by people who love me, that'll die for me, you know, and not because I'm paying them to, because they know I die for them too.
Starting point is 00:53:04 You dig what I'm saying? And they are able to carry guns. So you dig what I'm saying? So just because I don't have it in my hand, don't mean I'm a f***ing brat. There you go. But you know, I want to touch on something that you just spoke on. You spoke about, you know, the militias and the white people going crazy.
Starting point is 00:53:21 You know, to be honest with you, I want to let everybody know something. This is only happening because they see that their position is dwindling. That's a fact. The hateful racist whites, their run is over. Period. That's right. And, I mean, and society as a, nobody likes you, bro. You just got a little energy. Nobody likes you, bro. You just got a little energy. Nobody likes you.
Starting point is 00:53:48 You're not cool and fun and hip to be around. You got no sauce, no drip, no flavor. It's literally food with no flavor. So it's up. And I think it's not a black and white thing. It's a fair and reasonable versus hateful and discriminative thing. All right, well, let's get into a T.I. mini mix. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. That was a T.I. mini mix. T.I. is still here. Yee. We had thoughts about Nick Cannon then and him losing his situation at ViacomCBS. And I see now he's having all these conversations with different people and trying to educate himself on what he said. But I do feel like they prematurely just asked him for something that he said
Starting point is 00:54:39 without giving him the opportunity to do that and find out what was so wrong with what he said. I have to really bring myself up was so wrong with what he said. I have to really bring myself up to speed specifically with what he said. I understand paraphrasing what he said, but I didn't hear it verbatim myself. So I just really feel like, you know, if a mistake was made, then he has to rectify that mistake. But it ain't our job to counsel him. You know what I'm saying? I think that, man,
Starting point is 00:55:10 first of all, let's look at Nick Cannon's career and his reputation. Look at how many black people he's put in position and helped and got off of zero. You know what I'm saying? I think that has to speak for him. You can't just throw that, man. You got to give him consideration.
Starting point is 00:55:26 You must give him consideration, fair and reasonable consideration. We must hold him accountable if necessary, but we can't just discount and discard our people because don't nobody else do their people like that. And in the case of Nick, you know, he made a mistake, but he also apologized for that mistake. But he said the people that came at him the hardest was his own people. His own black people was mad at him for apologizing.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Well, I mean, whether you agree or disagree with the apology, I don't think you take that apology and use it as a reason, as justification to slander or villainize one of our national treasures. You just can't do that. Hey, Tip, how did you feel when you saw Jada call herself to the principal's office, which is the red table talk? Because she called you to the principal's office one time. Yeah, I think I respect it. Man, one thing everybody got to see, I don't care who you are,
Starting point is 00:56:21 what you do, how rich you are, how much money you got, where you live, what kind of car you drive, are, how much money you got, where you live, what kind of car you drive, everybody go through, ain't nobody life perfect, you know what I mean, it's just because we're celebrities, a lot of in front of our face, y'all get to make mistakes and hide it behind anonymity of being just a regular civilian, we don't have that luxury, so I don't mind standing in the fire facing whatever music I gotta face just because as a man,
Starting point is 00:56:49 I don't think God has given me any and everything I need to get through whatever adversities the universe can throw at me. So I ain't got no problem with standing in the face of the music. And for her to take that same approach I felt was admirable. And for Will to sit there, you did,
Starting point is 00:57:05 and actually go through it, I felt, you know what I'm saying, was noble and admirable. And for Will to sit there, you did, and actually go through it, I felt, you know what I'm saying, it was noble and admirable. The way they got in far more greater detail than I would have been comfortable giving it to you. I can't even picture T.I. in that position having that conversation. I don't think you and your wife, Tip,
Starting point is 00:57:22 would say to each other, we ride together, die together, bad marriage for life. I think we've already said it. Y'all ain't in no bad marriage. Well, now, look, not at all. I mean, we... Listen, man. First of all, it's about us.
Starting point is 00:57:37 So, let's... We clean over. Let's get that straight and clear. This s*** about me that for one moment uh but nah man i think that you know marriage is tough and it's it's it's a partnership that you have to work you have to work through and divorce is just you know Kind of like you you throw your hands up and say man. I quit I can't figure this out But I think you know as I've always heard man champions find a way So if you believe you've aligned yourself with the champion and you believe you're a champion yourself
Starting point is 00:58:22 Reason why y'all should be able to find a way you know i mean uh but at the same time it also travels hand in hand with the fact that if i ain't happy i'm not staying right and if and if each individual in this in this in this partnership ain't waking up every day saying how can i make them as happy as I want to make myself? And if you're willing and you're invested in that, and you're a partner, and you're seeing how invested your partner is in making you happy and wanting you to be happy, and it's that partnership, that give and take, that push and pull, is what allows y'all to work through the toughest of times. And I think that is what we saw at that red table. Being a father, we've seen you said some things that hurt your daughter's heart.
Starting point is 00:59:09 How is your relationship now, and how did you make up? I cried a little watching that episode, I'm not going to lie. I felt so bad. I felt really bad for her. I mean, okay, and that is, again, if any father ever finds themselves in a situation similar to that, we now have historically documented an example of how to deal with it. You know what I'm saying? Sweetheart, if that hurt your feelings, that wasn't my intention. I actually spoke about that moment because it was a proud moment for me. I didn't think of you as a young adult
Starting point is 00:59:45 who, you know, is beginning her adult life and how that may affect you in a public form. I didn't. I thought of you as my baby, my baby girl. And I thought of you as now you're still my baby girl. And I'm proud of that. But all the other people who were presumptuous and jumped to conclusions and got to some weird, freaky, creepy. Man, y'all, because that ain't never been tip. Tip ain't never rocked like that. So I don't care nothing about what they got to say because they truth ain't our truth. Gotcha.
Starting point is 01:00:12 Did you see that Asheville, North Carolina agreed to give reparations? I'm going back to the Lord of London thing. I did. Reparations to the black citizens there? I did. Yes, I did. And I think that's noble.
Starting point is 01:00:28 I think that's a great start, you know. But I don't think Asheville, North Carolina, or any city in America, any one individual city in America has enough to get us what we truly need. My goal is to get every black person in America that's a descendant of slavery $1 million at least. That take by $44 trillion.
Starting point is 01:00:55 So that's my goal. So I'm working up on $44 trillion. You know what I mean? 10% of Lords of London, we $5.6 billion there. So we're going to have to build that and grow it into 44 trillion and everybody get a million bucks all right well i like it we appreciate you for checking in to y'all and make sure make sure you tell tiny a happy belated birthday from us as
Starting point is 01:01:18 well man i will man we still celebrate man uh we we we, man. We about to hear some West Sunday, man. You know what I'm saying? F*** up some more. Love it. Make sure y'all check out the Expeditiously podcast, too. Absolutely. Absolutely, man. Hey, man, thank y'all for all y'all do, man, for the culture and all your contributions, man. I appreciate y'all giving me
Starting point is 01:01:39 some time to speak. Go to usorelse.org to sign the petition for the Lords of London call to action. If you agree with the message and the intention, go to usorelse.org
Starting point is 01:01:55 and sign that petition. It's the Breakfast Club. It's T.I. Morning, everybody. It's DJ N.V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kanye. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Starting point is 01:02:14 On The Breakfast Club. Well, Kanye West was on Twitter last night and caused a lot of trending topics. It definitely seems like he needs to get some help at this point. And some of the things that he wrote, Chris, don't play with me. You and that calm yay are not allowed around my children. Y'all try to lock me up. The saying that her boyfriend, Corey Gamble, is who they call calm yay.
Starting point is 01:02:37 Everybody knows the movie Get Out is about me. I put my life on the line for my children that North's mother would never sell her sex rape. I think he meant to write tape. I put my life on my God that North's mom would never photograph her doing Playboy and that's on God. I'm at the ranch. Come and get me. Come and get me. This is the exodus like Pusha said. Kim tried to bring a doctor to lock me up with a doctor. If I get locked up like Mandela, y'all will know why. Chris and Kim call me now. Kim is trying to fly to Wyoming with a doctor to lock me up like on the movie Get Out
Starting point is 01:03:07 because I cried about saving my daughter's life yesterday. He said I love my wife. My family must live next to me. It's not up to E or NBC anymore. NBC locked up Bill Coney. Yeah, he changed it to Bill Cosby. Yeah, Bill Cosby. And then he said
Starting point is 01:03:23 Shia was deposed to do the first Yeezy Gap shoot, and he never showed up. Anna Wintour always showed me love, but when I told her I was going to Gap, she looked at me like I was crazy. Then she called back, kissing my ass. Then he said, I'm going to focus on the music now. Donda coming this Friday. So I know there was a lot of jokes because that's what social media is,
Starting point is 01:03:41 all about the jokes, but seems pretty alarming. Oh, God. Listen, I'm not saying Kanye doesn't need help in regards to his mental health. Hell, we all do. But what it seems like he really needs is a divorce. But just because you're going through something with your woman doesn't mean you're necessarily crazy, okay?
Starting point is 01:03:59 Because what I see is somebody who's already made y'all forget about everything he said Sunday, The Harriet Tubman line. His rhetoric on abortion. He's made y'all forget about not making the ballot in South Carolina. The man owns your energy. He owns your emotions. He can change your frequency whenever he wants. And y'all give him that power.
Starting point is 01:04:17 And let's keep in mind, you said it just now, Yee. He's got an album coming out on the 24th. I still think he has problems, though. I think he has problems. I think he's going to throw a out on the 24th. I still think he has problems, though. I think he has problems. Right around album time. And yes, listen, I think he's going through a lot, too, but I think that a lot has to do more with his marriage than his mental health.
Starting point is 01:04:36 But, I mean, that can affect your mental health as well. You know what I mean? Yeah, that all kind of seems tied together. But keep in mind, album out July 24th, okay? Kanye previously said that he wanted Jay-Z for his running mate. Well, he went on with DJ Tantrum, and this is who he said he went to be his vice president. I think Trump will be a great vice president.
Starting point is 01:04:55 That would be my first pick. But we have a running mate right now named Michelle Tidball, who is a Christian pastor out of Wyoming. And you know every black president need a Michelle. We'll drop on a clues box with DJ Tantrum on 99.3 The Box. That's the station that we come on in Charleston. What's so interesting about that, he said that on 99.3 The Box with DJ Tantrum and then went on Z93 with Chris Kalen and said something totally different.
Starting point is 01:05:23 That's when he said he wanted Jade Simmons and Jay-Z. Right. Well, he did not make the ballot in South Carolina, just FYI. You know why? Because he didn't even turn in the signatures that he had. He was supposed to turn in the signatures by noon yesterday. He didn't turn them in. Can we all stop covering this
Starting point is 01:05:39 campaign like it's real? But he also has files in his home state of Illinois. Oh, God. Can we ignore this campaign and stop covering it like it's real. But he also has filed in his home state of Illinois. Oh, God. Can we ignore this campaign and stop covering it like it's real, please? Can we ignore it like we ignore the campaigns of all the other independent candidates, the Green Party candidates, the libertarians? Can we please ignore this campaign? It's not real. Now, as far as his deal with the Gap, their shares have fallen after Kanye threatened to walk away from his Yeezy deal. Gap stock fell nearly 6%. We told you how
Starting point is 01:06:08 Gap stock jumped up when he announced his 10-year partnership with them. Their shares soared nearly 19% when that happened. Well, the stock has lost half of those gains since then and now their stock fell nearly 6%. What the album going to sound like
Starting point is 01:06:23 on Friday, though? Y'all interested? Y'all care? Not really. Is this another case that we've seen in recent years of Kanye's antics outside of the music, overshadowing the music? Yeah, I mean, I think he has problems, but I'm not really interested in the music. I mean, he hasn't doing things to make me excited or hyped to be like, oh, I can't wait for this new Kanye album. I used to get like that when Kanye's music came out. But right now it's like I could care less. And the last few times he's dropped projects,
Starting point is 01:06:51 this is what he does. He creates these compelling spectacles and he puts out music and then he goes away and everybody acts all concerned when he's doing all of this. But I mean, literally months can go by and nobody says anything to R about Kanye it's actually incredible maybe album time is triggering for him maybe you're right maybe
Starting point is 01:07:12 maybe all right now Nick Cannon can turn your emotions on off he can turn your emotions on and off like a light switch it's actually incredible all right now Nick Cannon has teased a new podcast episode that he has with a rabbi after the anti-Semitic comments that he made. And he posted a clip so that you can get an idea of what it's going to sound like. He also said, I made a lot of people mad. And he made people in his own community mad. He made, when he apologized, he made a lot of people in the Jewish community mad. Here is what that clip sounds like. I made a lot of people mad the Jewish community mad. Here is what that clip sounds like.
Starting point is 01:07:45 I made a lot of people mad. Your community mad? I made my community mad by apologizing. My core question for everybody in our community is, is he sincere? Do you feel I'm sincere? At this point, yes. I don't have a hatred towards any group of people, but specifically Jewish people because I feel there is such a connection. You know what that common hate
Starting point is 01:08:07 for the black community comes from and the Jewish community comes from? White supremacy. The idea of eugenics and still placed on us today in America and that Hitler adopted. That's correct. From?
Starting point is 01:08:18 Came from America. Listen, I'm all about council culture, not cancel culture. And the reason I believe Nick is sincere is because I don't even believe Nick knew what the hell he was talking about in the first place. I don't think so either. I don't think so either. I don't think Nick believed or even knew what he was talking about
Starting point is 01:08:37 when he was having that conversation with Professor Griff. So, you know, once you get more education to a situation, you can change your mind. All right, maybe your mind was never made up. So I don't believe Nick Cannon is a prejudiced, bigoted person at all. I don't. All right, well, he's out here doing the work, so that's what's important, right?
Starting point is 01:08:56 I know one thing, though. If Nick turns that turban into a yarmulke, you're going too far, Nick. Okay? Stop it. You stop it. You don't got to go that far, okay? All right? Nick is a very impressionable person, all right?
Starting point is 01:09:08 Nick might have on a Yarmulke in the next week or so. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Charlemagne. Yes. What are you giving that donkey to?
Starting point is 01:09:19 You know, this is a good segue because we're going to talk about cultural blind spots. There's a person that I could probably call racist and bigoted right now, but I don't think that's necessary. I just think he has a cultural blind spot, and I would like to educate him. That's it. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:09:36 Good morning. Just don't be a donkey because right now you want some real donkeys. It's time for donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man hit me with the hero did she get donkey in the name please i have become donkey of the day at the breakfast club bitches you're a donkey donkey of the day for tuesday july 21st goes to cpac chairman and trump advisor matt slap now I want to take this time this morning to discuss with you cultural blind spots. We all have them. Most of the time we have them because what we think we
Starting point is 01:10:11 know about other people is something we haven't experienced. It may be from something we read, something we saw in media, on TV or film, heard on the radio, just observed in passing. We all make these assumptions about people. And what's dangerous about assumptions is when a set of assumptions about something becomes common knowledge, it forms a stereotype. And some stereotypes are positive. Some are negative. Some are just dangerous. Some are straight up bigoted and prejudiced. For example, you know, black men have bigger penises. That's a positive stereotype, positive stereotype for black men, negative stereotype for the women that believe that. But then find out that's not true. OK, the dumb blonde, you know, the attractive blonde woman. That's stupid as hell. I don't know who reinforced that on TV in your generation, but Kelly Bundy reinforced it in mine.
Starting point is 01:11:07 OK, the dumb blonde that was just stupid. All right. White men not being able to jump into the whole movie about it. OK, how about white people not being able to dance, lacking rhythm? OK, may not be a stereotype if it's true, but it's definitely some Caucasians out there who can dance word to Justin Timberlake. All I'm simply saying is stereotypical tropes are a thing well yesterday on fox news uh on a show harris faulkner was hosting matt slap was debating with a queen john hopkins university professor wendy osefo drop on the clues bombs for wendy osefo uh wendy and i have done mental health discussions before at john hopkins university in baltimore great. I enjoyed building with her.
Starting point is 01:11:47 And I'm glad she existed on this panel yesterday because there is a stereotypical trope that black men get labeled often that she corrected. Now, Matt and Wendy were discussing Donald Trump in his interview with Chris Wallace. The discussion turned to Joe Biden and his cognitive skills are lack thereof. And this is when Matt let his stereotypical trope about a black man fly. Let's hear it and pay attention after you hear it to hear what happened and how Wendy responded. Joe Biden is essentially trying to duck and cover, not have a full campaign, hang out in his house. And none of us are able to really see what he's got. He ought to take an hour and answer all the tough questions and he ought to release his schedule every day that
Starting point is 01:12:30 shows that he's full all day long with events. Instead, we see a speech here or there. He does interviews. He did an interview with a rap star and he couldn't even get through that without a big foible on the you ain't black. So I think the problem is, is Joe Biden is not running a fully energetic, real campaign. Wendy Osefo, I want to get your response to this. What we want to hear is facts. What are you going to do for those individuals who have lost family members due to the pandemic? What are you going to do to ensure that we do not have another issue like George Floyd within our police department. That's what we want to hear. And when, you know, Biden made the comment about African-Americans,
Starting point is 01:13:10 that was not a rap star. That was Charlamagne Tha God, who is a nationally syndicated radio host. You know, I know he's a black man, so you may think he's a rapper, but he's not. Dropping the clues bombs for Wendy Osefo again. Thank God for black women. What would Black Panther be without the Dora Milaj? My God, there's something about a black woman getting somebody together on behalf of black people. Because what Wendy did wasn't for me, that was for us, okay? Educating Matt Slap in that moment in real time is exactly what needs to happen. Remember last week when I said if Nick Cannon was going to attempt to have a conversation about his assumptions of the Jewish community, he should have it with a Jewish scholar or rabbi, someone from that community who can correct his mistakes.
Starting point is 01:13:56 When he says something wrong, who can correct him if he says something they deem anti-Semitic. That's what Wendy Osefo was for Matt Slap in that moment. See, rapper is a stereotypical trope that successful black men get labeled all the time because for whatever reason, when some white people do see us, if they see us at all, they can't see us as anything else. I mean, I'm clearly too short to be labeled a basketball player. So the only way i could be in first class on a flight or on your tv talking to a presidential candidate is because i rap this happens to me all the time i've seen so many of these mainstream i know it happens to you and you got confused with drake i've seen so many of these mainstream white publications label me a rapper.
Starting point is 01:14:50 I've been on flights and had white people ask me, you know, do I rap? Do I do music? I always reply, I'm a proctologist. And did I make a fart sound? Okay, I'm serious. But I'm not going to call Matt Slap a racist. For what? I'm going to just say he has a cultural blind spot.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Okay, I can't fault him for what he doesn't know plus i used to really rap back in the day nothing serious but i had a bar or two and if all black people look alike to him then hell maybe we all look like rappers to him plus tell him your rap name son tell him your rap name son i don't have a rap name you had a boy maybe he's maybe he's just familiar with the song black men don't Cheat, and that's where he knew you from. No, that's not true. My rap name used to be Dizzy Van Winkle. But listen, I love rap. Rap music has saved a lot of lives, took a lot of brothers and sisters out of the ghetto, made a lot of brothers and entrepreneurs, and has provided a lot of jobs for a lot of black and brown people so being referred to as a rap star i would call that a positive stereotype but a stereotype
Starting point is 01:15:51 nonetheless and the moral of the story is contrary to this caucasian's culturally clueless belief all black men you see on tv are not rappers and athletes. And you should never assume that. Because Matt, when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me because that's how it's spelled. Please let Chelsea Handler give Matt Slap the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw! Hee-haw! That is
Starting point is 01:16:17 way too much Dan Mayonnaise. Alright, Charlamagne, thank you for that donkey of the day. Yes, indeed. Alright, when we come back we got the positive no so don't move it's the breakfast club good morning now envy i've seen this happen to you in real time yes or not in real time on video somebody mistook you for drake yep i i get the same questions all the time what team do you play for uh no you never get that stop all the time yes i do maybe baseball maybe car baseball. They just say you look like Carlos Buzer.
Starting point is 01:16:47 Maybe baseball because you're Dominican. Maybe. No. Is that a stereotype? I'm six foot. I'm six foot, so I get what team do you play for? I shut up. Yesterday, I got, am I a singer?
Starting point is 01:16:57 I got that yesterday. So I get it all the time. Definitely singer. Definitely R&B vibes. Definitely Neal Soul R&B vibes. Definitely Ne-Yo Soul R&B vibes. Definitely. Great, great, great. Yes. Now, so what is the question? 800-585-1051. Well, let's talk stereotypes. You know what I'm saying? We all have cultural blind spots. You know, I'm not I'm really not calling this man Matt Slap racist.
Starting point is 01:17:18 I just think that he has a cultural blind spot. He mistook me for a rapper. It happens to Envy all the all the time ye what have you been mistaken for uh i don't know i will say yesterday i was with uh two of my friends my girlfriends and we were out here in uh mexico and this white family this white woman was like are you guys all related and i was like why we're just here together. But I don't, you know, that happens a lot. Are you looking for a family? Anytime I go, like if I go someplace with my friends, people automatically assume that just because we're all black,
Starting point is 01:17:54 we're all related to each other. Oh, got you, got you. So you're getting mistaken for a cousin. All right. Angelina, you're getting mistaken for a cousin. Me and Envy get mistaken for rappers. What do y'all get mistaken for? Let's call up here and tell us right now. But, I mean, listen, we all have, there's always a stereotypical trope that we, you know, label to people.
Starting point is 01:18:10 And sometimes we don't even know that we're being, I don't want to say racist or bigoted because I don't think that's the case. But, you know, sometimes we just don't know we're being offensive. All right. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it when we come back. And when we come back, I'll tell you how I was mistaken for valet too. They thought I was valet. I can see that. Shut up. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time.
Starting point is 01:18:40 Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now, Charlamagne, you gave Donkey of the Day to who? I gave Donkey of the Day to Matt Slap.
Starting point is 01:19:01 Matt Slap is the CPAC chairman, and he's a Trump advisor. And he was on Fox News yesterday, and he has a cultural blind spot. He labeled me a stereotypical trope that I think a lot of successful black men get labeled. When they don't know what it is that you do, they just assume you're a rapper or in music. So he said that I was a rap star. That's what he said. And that happens a lot.
Starting point is 01:19:24 That happens in mainstream publications. That happens when I'm on flights. If I'm on flights and I'm in first class, somebody be like, yo, do you rap? Do you do music? And I mean, I don't think that's racist per se. I just think it's a cultural blind spot and I think it can be offensive
Starting point is 01:19:40 if you want it to be. I've had instances where they see people come up to me and be like, oh, you know, they start having a conversation because they know who I am and other people around will be like, oh, what are you?
Starting point is 01:19:51 Do you sing? What do you do? So I think that's automatically what they assume. But I think that just has to do with the fact, why do people recognize you? Yeah, I get mistaken for, they always ask, am I a rapper? Or am I an athlete?
Starting point is 01:20:05 The other day, I think the LA Times did an article, they said I was a former rapper. What's the Real Housewives of New Jersey lady that was, she did a porn? You know what I'm talking about? She did a porn? She did a porn. Why the hell would I know that? Why would I be watching Real Housewives of New Jersey porn?
Starting point is 01:20:23 Was it Danielle? Danielle Stubb, yes. So, Danielle Stubb. How do I know that? I don't know. So, what happened was, if you don't know, Teresa from Housewives and her daughter and my daughter used to go to gymnastics together. So, we had a little function when we first moved into this neighborhood in my house. And when she came, she gave me her keys and thought I was valet.
Starting point is 01:20:41 And was like, can you please park the car for me? She thought I was valet. And then what did you do? You took the car? Doesn't matter what I was wearing. I had a jacket on. I had a black blazer on and some dope pants and some dope shoes.
Starting point is 01:20:55 I'm sure she was like, he could not possibly own his home. She was like, can you please park my car for me? I was like, what? One time we were in the Bahamas with Blac Chyna and they kept thinking all the white tourists there thought she was Nicki Minaj and kept being like, Nicki Minaj is here
Starting point is 01:21:11 and asking to take pictures with her. I remember that. Did she take the pictures? Yes. That's funny. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Yo.
Starting point is 01:21:24 Hello? Yo. Yo. Hello? Yo. You get mistaken for Young M.A.? All the time. Who you get mistaken for? Yo, my name's Shia, go by Superstar, but what I was saying, I get stereotypical for, because I'm a stud, I dress
Starting point is 01:21:37 more dominant like a male, and they love to think that stud, lesbian girls think that we men, or like we want to be a man or something, and that's not the case. Like, I can't speak for everybody, but majority of us don't think that stud, lesbian girls think that we men or like we want to be a man or something. And that's not the case. Like, I can't speak for everybody, but majority of us don't think that we just like women. You know, we're more dominant. Like, I go to the women's bathroom and people look at me like they'll walk in and walk out like, damn, am I in the wrong bathroom?
Starting point is 01:21:57 And they'll see my breasts and notice that, oh, yeah, she's a female, too. But that's just something that we get stereotypical and everything like people call us sir and stuff like that, thinking that that's what we want to go by. I don't mind it, but I know people think like that as a whole in the world. So it's just something I want to speak on. Yeah, that sounds like everybody's trying to be politically correct, and they don't know what it is that you identify as. That's what that sounds like. Or maybe they just don't know.
Starting point is 01:22:22 Depending on what she's wearing, they might not know. They might not know. They might not know. Probably not, you know, but some people just think that anyway, think that all lesbians studs want to be a man, and that's not the case, because I don't want to be a man. I'm just more dominant, and I like pretty girls, you know. Okay.
Starting point is 01:22:41 800-585-1051. We're asking, what have you been mistaken for? Charlamagne was mistaken for a mini person That plays football Angelique was mistaken for What were you mistaken for? Family? Well we're talking about stereotypical tropes
Starting point is 01:22:56 You know what I'm saying? So it's like you know I've been mistaken for a rapper Athlete You know you've been mistaken for a rapper Athlete, valet which I can totally see Angelique've been mistaken for a rapper, athlete, valet which I can totally see and you've been mistaken for a cousin family family
Starting point is 01:23:12 okay, so yeah is that a stereotype? I don't know or like if I'm in a store, people always think I work at the store and they'll come up to me and be like excuse me, do you work here? it depends, what type of store is it? like a department store, if I'm at the store and they'll come up to me and be like, excuse me, do you work here? It depends. What type of store is it? Like a department store. If I'm in the
Starting point is 01:23:27 mall or something. Like I'm not just shopping myself. I don't even have a name tag or anything on. I'm just in the store shopping. And they'll always come up to me. They do that to me sometimes too. When I'm in Home Depot, they'll be like, excuse me, where can I find? I'm like, look, I don't work here. No one thinks I work at Home Depot.
Starting point is 01:23:45 Anyway, 800-585-1051. Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now. I like it. I like it. I like it.
Starting point is 01:23:53 I like it. That you know me, you with that? Call me. And your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Starting point is 01:24:08 Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're asking 800-585-1051 some of the stereotypical things you guys have been confused for. All right? Charlamagne, he says Morris Chestnut.
Starting point is 01:24:21 Nobody believes him, but he says he's an athlete and a rapper. It's not the fact it's Morris Chestnut. It's just that sometimes, you know, people see a handsome black man in first class, and they just assume I'm a leading man in film. You know what I'm saying? Who's a handsome black man? Yeah, who are you traveling with?
Starting point is 01:24:40 I do get mistaken for Morris Chestnut, but I did once get mistaken for a Morris Chestnut lookalike. Like she actually said to me, are you Morris Chestnut stunt double? And I'm like, damn, don't do that. Just because I'm handsome, don't assume. And I remember when people used to think you were Lafayette from True Blood. They thought it was R&B singer Joe.
Starting point is 01:24:59 They said DMX at one time. Trying to think what else did they say. Never happened. All right, but let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Morning, fam. Lucky. Morning.
Starting point is 01:25:12 Am I lucky or your name lucky? Welcome, Salome. What's up? What's up, A.S. King? It's good. Who have you got mistaken for, brother? Because I'm Jamaican, they automatically think I smoke weed. Do you?
Starting point is 01:25:22 Okay. No, I don't smoke. I don't believe you. Okay. No, I don't smoke. I don't believe you. Okay. No, I don't smoke because I remember one time my father caught my little cousin smoking and I asked him what he got. Nah, I said it ain't worth it. True.
Starting point is 01:25:37 Okay. Fair enough. All right. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Chanel. Hey, Chanel. Good morning. Good morning. What have you been, who have this? Hello, this is Chanel. Hey, Chanel. Good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:25:46 What have you been, who have you been mistaken for, or what? I've been mistaken for a white person. Okay. Are you white? I'm not. No, I'm not white at all. I'm a black girl. Okay, so why did they mistake you for white?
Starting point is 01:26:00 So, it's my voice. Every time I used, well, first it was when I used to work at Chick-fil-A. So I used to work at Chick-fil-A and through the intercom, it didn't matter if it was a white person, especially black people. When they got up to the window, they would tell me, oh, I thought you were a white girl. I'm like, no, ma'am, that's not the case at all. I am definitely a black girl.
Starting point is 01:26:23 Who cares what race you are at Chick-fil-A? Say that again? I said, Who cares what race you are at Chick-fil-A? Say that again? Who cares what race you are at Chick-fil-A? All I want is that number one. Thank you. Jesus Christ. Thank you. Alright, well thank you. Oh, you go ahead.
Starting point is 01:26:38 What else? I work at a call center and over the phone, even people would point it out over the phone. And I thought that was like really one of the racist things you could do over the phone. You don't know me. You don't even see me. You can't tell.
Starting point is 01:26:54 You're white though. People always say, oh my God. How do you talk white? What does that mean? Oh my God. Oh my God like. Let me hear you say that. Oh my God like.
Starting point is 01:27:03 Oh. She does sound white. I definitely heard the Becky on your breath. Well my God, like? She does sound white. I definitely heard the Becky on your breath. You told her to say something super white. Exactly. I heard the Becky on your breath, boo. All right, thank you. What's the moral of the story?
Starting point is 01:27:19 Oh, there we go. Now you sound Karen. Go Karen. Go Karen. Thank you, mama. What's the moral of the story, guys, if there is a moral? The moral of the story is stereotypical tropes are wrong. And you know, you don't want to assume anything about anybody.
Starting point is 01:27:35 Because when you assume, you make an ass out of you and me. That's how you spell it. All right. Now we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, let's talk about a trading card that just sold for $1.845 million at an auction over the weekend. All right, we'll get to that next. Gary Vee is somewhere right now saying, I told you so. I told y'all. I told y'all. Like Boosie Dada. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:28:01 The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Logic. It's about time. What's going on?
Starting point is 01:28:17 Rumor report. Rumor report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Yes, well, we told you that Logic has retired. Well, he also announced the birth of his son as well. And in addition to that, he's now signed exclusively to Twitch once he puts out this last album, No Pressure.
Starting point is 01:28:36 So he's going to be going live actually tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern, and he'll be premiering that album ahead of its release on July 24th. So if you're a big fan of Logic, you can tune in. But that deal at Twitch is said to be a seven-figure deal. So he'll be exclusively on there. Why do rappers lie about retiring? Like, why do we buy into that lie about rappers retiring? Like, what rapper has said they're retiring and actually retired?
Starting point is 01:28:59 Zero. None. But it'll be a dope platform if he only releases his music on Twitch and people, his fans, have to go there. That would change the game. Sometimes rappers retire to get out of their deals, too. They'll be like, I'm retiring. Yeah, but then when they come back, they still owe the label.
Starting point is 01:29:15 They still owe the label, yeah. Well, if he signed to Twitch exclusively, I don't know how that's going to work. So when it comes to music. I think those Twitch deals are different though. Those Twitch deals are just like platforms, like being exclusive to a platform to like premiere your music and stuff. Cause academics has a, has a deal with Twitch, if I'm not mistaken. That's why I could be on Twitter. All right. Well, Instagram is going to be launching a new service that, that will be competing with TikTok. So, you know, as everybody's talking about how we
Starting point is 01:29:43 might not be able to use TikTok anymore, you know Instagram's already been seeing all the success of it. So now that's something that's going to be coming up in the following weeks. All right. Birdman and Lil Wayne,
Starting point is 01:29:54 they might be doing a Like Father, Like Son Part 2. That album is on the way. According to Young Money Radio, listen to their interaction. Hey, Moola, I got one thing I want to ask. What's good?
Starting point is 01:30:05 I would like to do a Father, Son 2. Listen to their interaction. Hey, Moolah, I got one thing I want to ask you. What's good? I would like to do a father-son tour. Come on, man. That was not a question. World talk. Say less. Man, come on, man. You know I can say
Starting point is 01:30:13 you're six years younger than me. You got your dude that will put your verses to him. You already know how I do, man. I'm done rapping. Rapping ain't for me no more. I like to make rappers.
Starting point is 01:30:20 That's what I do. Yeah, you've been doing it. Real rap, so I just wanted to just be my little farewell thing. I want to go out how I came. Say less. Would y'all be here for that? I'm not opposed to it. I definitely would check it out.
Starting point is 01:30:33 I wonder what got Birdman to the point where he don't want to rap no more. I wonder, he is older, but I wonder what finally kicked in to make him say, you know what, I don't want to spit no more. He probably had more success finding these, these younger artists and breaking these younger artists. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:49 I mean, listen, it's good to know when it's, when it's time to hang it up, but I just want to know, you know, what got him to that point. All right. Now, LeBron, his trading card sold for $1.845 million at auction over the weekend. It was a rare LeBron James trading card. According to the NBA,
Starting point is 01:31:04 it features him during his 2003-2004 rookie season at hometown team the Cleveland Cavaliers and it's the most expensive basketball card ever purchased. So they said it was one of only 23 produced and it had a 9.5 mint gem condition grading and it also
Starting point is 01:31:20 had a piece of James' Cavaliers jersey as well. Bidding started at $150,000. And sold for $1.45 million. Gary V is somewhere gloating right now saying, I tried to tell y'all. Gary, he texted me like a week ago and told me that the LeBron James rookie was worth $400,000, but just sold for like a million. He was like, can you imagine the investment?
Starting point is 01:31:43 All right. Three months ago it was $ Now, Drake. Three months ago. Three months ago, it was $400,000. Yep. Drake is on a freestyle called Only You. It's a UK rapper heading one. And listen to this. People are saying he's taking shots at Pusha T and Kanye West.
Starting point is 01:31:57 Don't make me have to rise my rifle. Man, try send some young boys for me. Don't make me have to ride by high school. It's you, man, been dropping lately. Don't make me have to fly my iTunes. So much people buy into my hype. Don't make me have to ride by high school. It's you, man, been dropping lately. Don't make me have to fly my iTunes. So much people buy into my hype. Don't make me have to buy my hype too. Dealt with a big homie already.
Starting point is 01:32:11 Don't make me have to side-by-side you. Enough times he tried to hide behind you. Amnesia, but when I remind you, I'm touching road and I can't find you. Word to the M-O-B, I'm tied to. I'm giving up when I decide to. Chief! I don't know who he taking shots at, but it's offbeat. And Drake needs a break.
Starting point is 01:32:27 Drake been putting out a lot of mid this year. His album might be different, but he's put out a lot of music this year, and it doesn't have that excitement it once had. And I'm wondering why. I'm wondering, is it because, like, outside of Tootsie Slide, he hasn't put out anything that's his, or is it because the music just not slapping like it used to? I wonder what it is. No, well, he messed with the Demons record, which is it because the music just not slapping like it used to? I wonder what it is.
Starting point is 01:32:45 No, well, they messed with the Demons record, which is his record off his album. I mean, he's not on it by himself, but they messed with that record. You got a couple that they messed with, but that freestyle wasn't it. Yeah, 10 years of dominance, you're going to have a moment where you put out stuff that's like, eh, happens to all the greats, if you're around long enough. All right, and Lifetime has released a surviving
Starting point is 01:33:07 Jeffrey Epstein trailer, and here's what it sounds like. It's going to be airing on August 9th and 10th on Lifetime. Being abused by Jeffrey Epstein is a life sentence. I was. A human baton passed from one person to another. Elin knew exactly
Starting point is 01:33:24 how to pull you in. She told me, just do whatever he wants. He was enjoying violating me. There were thousands of victims. He definitely had the control. I'm going to fight back. So there's eight survivors, and they are the narrators of the film,
Starting point is 01:33:37 and they talk about Jeffrey Epstein and their teenage years, and they're speaking up for thousands of sexual abuse survivors. I was thinking about that yesterday. Was I on the phone with somebody? Yeah, I was on the phone with one of my homegirls, and she was saying something about the doc.
Starting point is 01:33:54 I don't know if she saw early. Is there something on Netflix there, Larry? Jeffrey, have you seen Doc on Netflix as well? Yeah, it's like four or five episodes. I've seen it. I watched it. I watched it first. She was asking me She was like
Starting point is 01:34:06 What happened to the women? Like think about All the women that was On that island Like where are they? They spoke to a lot They spoke to a lot of women On that documentary

Starting point is 01:34:20 And they talked about Their experience And how he You know He was a predator And how he used to give them money. So they wanted to continue to do it because a lot of them just didn't have the money.
