Speaker 1: the show cracker from somebody out there represents all for
Speaker 1: those categories. I can guarantee you that you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1: But let's get into front page news. What we're talking about.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll be talking about here this morning,
Speaker 1: and we'll be talking about alopecia and special treatment the
Speaker 1: FDA has approved, also on the opposite side of things,
Speaker 1: toxic chemical and hair products that has increased breast cancer,
Speaker 1: something that you need to be aware of. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Get
Speaker 1: your ass up. Good morning morning everybody in dj Envy
Speaker 1: Angela yee, Charlemagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning. Let's get in some front page news, all right.
Speaker 1: Now Thursday, everybody's been asking when the next game is.
Speaker 1: Of course, the Warriors lead three to two. The next
Speaker 1: game is this Thursday at nine pm in Boston. The
Speaker 1: Warriors in six, Warriors in six. I think the Warriors
Speaker 1: close it out in Boston on Thursday night. You know,
Speaker 1: initially I said Warriors in five before the series, but
Speaker 1: then I said Warriors in six before the series. I
Speaker 1: think that they closed it out in Boston on a
Speaker 1: Thursday night. I don't think that the championship caliber team
Speaker 1: that the Warriors are, I don't think they're gonna play
Speaker 1: in the Garden. No, okay, I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: silly like video game, video game ish. I think Warriors
Speaker 1: in seven. I think with Boston, with that crowd, with
Speaker 1: the fans support and online, I think they're gonna win.
Speaker 1: But now I think I think the Warriors then took
Speaker 1: their heart in the last through game. I think somethink
Speaker 1: stuff goes for like fifty in the Garden, Clay goals
Speaker 1: for like thirty. Okay, totally really pop off. Yet, so
Speaker 1: I think Tatum's gonna go crazy. Yeah, that's a crazy
Speaker 1: doing what gain? All right? All right? Now, there's a
Speaker 1: new study that says here in beauty products marketed to
Speaker 1: black women contain a class of talcic chemicals that is
Speaker 1: not only linked to an increased breast cancer risk, but
Speaker 1: also fuels the spread of cancer cells and black women
Speaker 1: in comparison to white women. Also, so the study analyze
Speaker 1: that parabins and they determined that parabins increase the growth
Speaker 1: of breast cancer cells and black women and it's a
Speaker 1: group of chemicals. They use parabins in these products to
Speaker 1: keep mold and bacteria from growing and so it prolongs
Speaker 1: the shelf life. But in humans, parabins can mimic estrogen,
Speaker 1: which is a hormone that leads to dangerous cell growth.
Speaker 1: They said, Black women are likely to buy and use
Speaker 1: hair products with these types of chemicals, But we don't
Speaker 1: have a lot of data showing how parabins may increase
Speaker 1: breast cancer risk and black women. And part of that
Speaker 1: is also because black women don't get picked to take
Speaker 1: part in most research studies looking at the link, and
Speaker 1: studies to test this link have only use breast cancer
Speaker 1: cell lines from white women. So they have this new
Speaker 1: study which was conducted by the Bench to Community initiative
Speaker 1: that brings together scientists, community activists, breast cancer survivors, and
Speaker 1: hair stylists to study that link. And Black women in
Speaker 1: general are also more affected by breast cancer. They're forty
Speaker 1: one percent more likely to die from breast cancer and
Speaker 1: those under fifty are twice as likely to die from
Speaker 1: breast cancer than white women. So that's why when we
Speaker 1: talk about beauty products and we're like, no parabins no sulfates.
Speaker 1: It's really important to make sure you read those ingredients
Speaker 1: in the products that you're using, all right, And the
Speaker 1: FDA has approved a full body treatment for alopecia, and
Speaker 1: that's autoimmune disorder that can cause hair loss and baldness
Speaker 1: occurring in patches on the body for the first time,
Speaker 1: and that's what Data Pinkett Smith has alopecia. She's spoken
Speaker 1: about it, and they have approved approved oral tablets called
Speaker 1: all of them pronounced this why all you mayans, all
Speaker 1: U mayans. It's a treatment for adults with severe alopecia. Now,
Speaker 1: they had previously approved treatments for the disorder that addresses
Speaker 1: specific parts of the body, but this is the first
Speaker 1: FDA approved alopecia treatment that treats the entire body. And
Speaker 1: more than three hundred thousand people in the US every
Speaker 1: year are affected by alopecia, and individuals with the disorder
Speaker 1: the body attacked its own hair follicles, which causes the
Speaker 1: hair to fall out. The all umyant treatment is designed
Speaker 1: to prevent that response. I thought everybody had like a
Speaker 1: little form of alopecia, like you know, I could be wrong,
Speaker 1: but that's not true. No, everybody I think I don't
Speaker 1: think all yeah, I don't think all hair losses the alopecia.
Speaker 1: But but let me ask a question. Who gets the
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor for raising awareness to alopecia? Chris Rock,
Speaker 1: Will Smith or Jada Pinkett Smith. You're not gonna tell
Speaker 1: me that the incident at the oscars didn't raise awareness
Speaker 1: for alopecia. I haven't even heard the word alopecias said
Speaker 1: this much since that incident. I guarantee if you do
Speaker 1: some type of Google research, it will show that the
Speaker 1: alopecia will searched more after that incident at the ostas
Speaker 1: then before. Of course, So who gets the who gets
Speaker 1: the Medal of honor? Who gets is it a Is
Speaker 1: it a group effort between Chris Rock Walsmith for Jada Pinkersmith?
Speaker 1: Or is it just Chris because he did the g
Speaker 1: G I Jane Joe? Or is it just Jada because
Speaker 1: she suffers from alopecia? Or is it because Will you
Speaker 1: know administered the slap that you know got everybody talking.
Speaker 1: Which is it all of the above. I think it's
Speaker 1: a I think it's a collective effort. They should collectively
Speaker 1: get a Medal of honor for raising awareness A man.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm serious, well lattice Front page News. Get
Speaker 1: it off your chests eight hundred five eight five one

Speaker 1: part of an original ownership group purchasing an NFL team.
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson said that he actually had a chance to
Speaker 1: speak to the new ownership. He said, to be able
Speaker 1: to talk to her, what a tremendous accomplishment and what
Speaker 1: a gift to be able to do what she's going
Speaker 1: to be able to do, To be the first black
Speaker 1: woman right to be able to do this, It's a
Speaker 1: big deal. This is history, and I think that maybe
Speaker 1: has gone over people's heads a little bit. I love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And she's married George Lucas. Yeah. Yeah, and she's she
Speaker 1: has a great portfolio. She has her own company, Aerial Investments,
Speaker 1: and so she's been doing it. I think she also
Speaker 1: did like the whole dream Works, Mr Dale, she did
Speaker 1: that whole deal for them and everything. So's she used
Speaker 1: to be a chairwoman for dream Works, and then I
Speaker 1: think once they got acquired by I think it was
Speaker 1: NBC as somebody she led that acquisition. So, all right now,
Speaker 1: Amber Heard has done her first sit down interview with
Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie, and she's talking about the defamation case that
Speaker 1: was brought forth by Johnny Depp, and she says that
Speaker 1: she still stands by everything that she says. Here's what
Speaker 1: she had to say about the jury's decision. Don't blame them.
Speaker 1: I actually understand. He's a beloved character and people feel
Speaker 1: they know him. It's a fantastic actor. Their job is
Speaker 1: to not be dazzled by that. Their job is to
Speaker 1: look at the facts and the evidence. And they did
Speaker 1: not believe your testimony or your evidence. And again, how
Speaker 1: could they after listening to three and a half weeks
Speaker 1: of testimony about how I was an incredible person. All
Speaker 1: right now, it was a six week trial and they
Speaker 1: went through a lot of the darkest moments of their relationship.
Speaker 1: He was trying to absolve himself of allegations that amber
Speaker 1: Heard made. In a twenty eighteen Washington Post op ed,
Speaker 1: she described herself as a public figure representing domestic abuse.
Speaker 1: She never named Johnny Depp, but they said that the
Speaker 1: claims everybody knew that that's who she was talking about.
Speaker 1: He's denied all allegations of abuse, and so he sued
Speaker 1: her for fifty million dollars, saying the accusation heard his career.
Speaker 1: She countersued him for one hundred million dollars, saying that
Speaker 1: his former lawyer defamed her when he called her claims
Speaker 1: of abuse a hoax. At the end of it, ultimately,
Speaker 1: he was awarded fifty million dollars that got lowered to
Speaker 1: ten point four million, and she was awarded two million
Speaker 1: when the jury found that his lawyer did defame her
Speaker 1: on one count. All right, here's what she had to
Speaker 1: say about feeling devastated by this whole thing. Vast majority
Speaker 1: of this trial was played out on social media, and
Speaker 1: the jury is not immune to that. You think the
Speaker 1: jury saw how could they not? I think even the
Speaker 1: most well intentioned juror it would have been IMPOSSI to
Speaker 1: avoid this. Every single day I passed three, four, sometimes
Speaker 1: six blocks city blocks lined with people holding signs saying
Speaker 1: burn the witch. After three and a half weeks, I
Speaker 1: took the stand and saw just a courtroom packed full
Speaker 1: of Captain Jack Sparrow fans who were vocal. This was
Speaker 1: the most humiliating and horrible thing I've ever been through.
Speaker 1: I have never felt more removed from my own humanity.
Speaker 1: I felt less than human. All right, and that's going
Speaker 1: to be a phenomenon that's studied for years to come,
Speaker 1: like social media and it's impact on things like trials,
Speaker 1: because she's right, it's impossible for geors not to see
Speaker 1: what people were saying on social media and be influenced
Speaker 1: by it. But you know, they did have audio recordings
Speaker 1: of her saying things that contradicted what she were saying
Speaker 1: on the stand. Absolutely, people did not believe her. And
Speaker 1: so some of those clips or a transcript, she says,
Speaker 1: some of them are not representative of the two hours
Speaker 1: at three hours that those clips are accepted from. That's
Speaker 1: what her rationale is for that. But she did say
Speaker 1: that she does have some things that she regrets. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: that is your room of report. I'm Angela yee. All right,
Speaker 1: we got Front Page News next. What we're talking about, Yes,
Speaker 1: and let's talk about Donald Trump. You know, he has
Speaker 1: issued his own statement in response to these January six hearings.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Local Morning. So Breakfast Club, your morning's will never be
Speaker 1: the same mail a year here. The General Insurance is
Speaker 1: a quality insurance company that's been saving people money for
Speaker 1: nearly sixty years. Switch to the General and you could
Speaker 1: save over five hundred dollars. Call eight hundred General or
Speaker 1: visit the General dot com. The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc.
Speaker 1: And Insurance Agency Nashville, Tennessee. Some restrictions of owning everybody.
Speaker 1: Dj Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy we are to
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club's getting some front page news this Thursday. All right,
Speaker 1: what is the game six NBA Finals Warriors versus Celtics
Speaker 1: at Boston? So that happens at nine o'clock. I got
Speaker 1: Warriors in six. I got Warriors in six. Steph Curry
Speaker 1: was over for nine last game from three point land.
Speaker 1: He's gonna score fifty in the garden on Thursday. Clay
Speaker 1: gonna score thirty. Wigga is gonna give you another twenty
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be all she wrote? All right, what
Speaker 1: else she got? Easy? That's one hundred points from three players. Well,
Speaker 1: the house Select Committee. The January sixth, committee has postponed
Speaker 1: the hearing that's supposed to happen today, and the next
Speaker 1: hearing is now scheduled for tomorrow afternoon at one pm Eastern.
Speaker 1: They said it's just for technical issues. It's not a
Speaker 1: big deal. It's nothing else. They said the staff putting
Speaker 1: together all the videos doing it was overwhelming, so they're
Speaker 1: trying to give them a little room. And they also
Speaker 1: did say there will be two hearings next week, one
Speaker 1: on June twenty first and another on June twenty third.
Speaker 1: Both of those will be starting at one pm Eastern.
Speaker 1: And the committee has been laying out the case for
Speaker 1: what they are saying is Trump's responsibility for the insurrection,
Speaker 1: and so there were lengthy portions of former Attorney General
Speaker 1: William Barr's deposition with the committee. He described in detail
Speaker 1: why Trump's for our claims were bogus and why he
Speaker 1: has seen nothing since to convince him that there fraud. Now,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has issued a twelve page statement amidst these
Speaker 1: hearings saying that, you know, basically the same things he's
Speaker 1: been saying. He's saying that these hearings are a smoke
Speaker 1: and mirror show. He also said that there's no witnesses
Speaker 1: or anybody who can easily point out the flaws in
Speaker 1: their story. He said, America is crumbling and Democrats have
Speaker 1: no solutions. Our nation has no hope of change for
Speaker 1: the better under democratic leadership. People are desperate. Rather than
Speaker 1: solving problems, Democrats are rehashing history and hopes of changing
Speaker 1: the narrative. Now. The members of this committee, includes two Republicans,
Speaker 1: have pushed back at the characterization that their investigation is
Speaker 1: motivated by partisanship. Instead, they said their work uncovered the
Speaker 1: extent to which the former president worked to undercut the
Speaker 1: democratic process and also to remain in power. Well, you
Speaker 1: know it's interesting, right because two days ago the introduction
Speaker 1: panels say they gathered enough evidence to indict Trump. So
Speaker 1: what is Attorney General Merrit Garland and the Department of
Speaker 1: Justice going to do. If they don't indict Trump after
Speaker 1: saying they have gathered enough evidence they indict Trump, then
Speaker 1: I don't see the point of any of these panels.
Speaker 1: It will look like it was just smoking mirrors, because
Speaker 1: all you're doing is making Trump supporters feel like this
Speaker 1: is just another witch hunt. If you keep accusing someone
Speaker 1: or something and say you have evidence that is enough
Speaker 1: to indict them, but you don't indict them, it makes
Speaker 1: it seem like all your evidences cap Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I think because again these hearings, they don't have the
Speaker 1: power to do anything, you know, out of these hearings.
Speaker 1: It can then the Department of Justice has to take
Speaker 1: over and they have to figure out a long investigation.
Speaker 1: And so now what right we need to make sure
Speaker 1: that now. But that's why I said, it's what is
Speaker 1: ag Merrick Garland in the Department of Justice going to do?
Speaker 1: But if the Interaction Panel says it has enough evidence
Speaker 1: to indict Trump, but the Attorney General and the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice don't do anything, it does look like all
Speaker 1: of this is just smoking mirrors. Like you can't just
Speaker 1: continue to accuse somebody or something and then say you
Speaker 1: got enough evidence that you know you can indict them,
Speaker 1: but don't do anything about It just makes it seem
Speaker 1: like the whole thing was just the political waste of
Speaker 1: money show in time. Yeah, that's right. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: and there's elections that are going on, so they want
Speaker 1: to make sure because people they're trying to say that
Speaker 1: there's voter fraud, there's a lot of lies that candidates
Speaker 1: are basing their campaigns on. So it is important this
Speaker 1: never before heard, you know, evidence and testimony that people
Speaker 1: are getting to hear for the first time so they
Speaker 1: can base their opinions on that, because a lot of
Speaker 1: people believe things without having the facts. So people really
Speaker 1: have to pay attention to what's going on, and there
Speaker 1: does need to be some action. I don't think Trump
Speaker 1: should even be allowed to run again, and there should
Speaker 1: be some criminal action taken against him. Yeah, but people
Speaker 1: people don't. People are not listening to this case. Yeah,
Speaker 1: everything you said sounds good and it sounds right, but
Speaker 1: people care about action, and if there's no action taken,
Speaker 1: then it looks like these actions are just cat waste
Speaker 1: of time, waste of money. All right, Well, Ladd is
Speaker 1: front Page News. Now when we come back, special guests
Speaker 1: joining us. We have attorney Benjamin Crump who has a

Speaker 1: out June nineteenth. Well, good morning guys, and thank you
Speaker 1: for joining us. Hey, thank you for having us. Now
Speaker 1: for people that don't know, breakdown what is civil, what
Speaker 1: it's about, and tell us all about it, certainly, And
Speaker 1: I am always an obvious, so I say that publicly.
Speaker 1: Appreciate that. Silvil is a Netflix documentary coming out on
Speaker 1: June tenth. Uh. It was directed by the young, brilliant
Speaker 1: director Nadia Hagren. This uh African Porto Rican, all kind
Speaker 1: of flavors in there, also fighting words. I mean, she is,
Speaker 1: her vision is so incredible. I mean it followed me
Speaker 1: for eighteen months during a pandemic where we had not
Speaker 1: heard of George Floyd when they started filming. We had
Speaker 1: heard of Amadar, but but hadn't heard of Brianna Taylor
Speaker 1: at the time, and she is capturing all this footage
Speaker 1: intensely while we're dealing with these families and so many
Speaker 1: other things like banking while black environmental racism, fighting for
Speaker 1: the black farmers, doing as she more than anybody else,
Speaker 1: just understood the moment. This isn't just a documentary for today.
Speaker 1: This is a documentary, as Kenya barrass and I, who's
Speaker 1: the producer created Black, is saying, this is a documentary
Speaker 1: for our children. Yet I'm born. I'm so glad you're
Speaker 1: here because there was a call that we got. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you were here Envy last week, but
Speaker 1: somebody called them and they were talking about Larry Nassar
Speaker 1: and how there's this lawsuit against the FBI because of
Speaker 1: Larry Nasar, and how they knew about the cases against
Speaker 1: him but they didn't act on it. And somebody called
Speaker 1: them and they were like, well, this is discussing what
Speaker 1: is money gonna do? Why do victims need money if
Speaker 1: they're truly victims and this is just a money grab.
Speaker 1: So I know this is something that you, as a
Speaker 1: civil rights attorney can speak to. So I would love
Speaker 1: for you to talk about that when people try to say, oh,
Speaker 1: they're just trying to get some money, or he's just
Speaker 1: chased and money and trying to fatten his wallet. I
Speaker 1: try not to listen to the hate as much because
Speaker 1: I understand my mission. My Queen Tad. She's saying, now
Speaker 1: you gotta go back out on crust. I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't have the time because I'm so focused on the mission.
Speaker 1: The mission is trying to say to people, psychologically and consciously,
Speaker 1: to American society that no, no, we matter, We deserve
Speaker 1: equal justice. When you have a wrong against us, we
Speaker 1: have a right, not only based on the Seventh Amendment
Speaker 1: of the United States Constitution, but just based on common sense.
Speaker 1: We have a right to send the message that you
Speaker 1: can't do this to us and get away with it.
Speaker 1: I'm representing a lot of black and brown people in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles County. At McClaren Hall, which was a children's
Speaker 1: shelter in Los Angeles for fifty years, black and brown
Speaker 1: children were being raped and sexually molested, and the county
Speaker 1: just looked the other way. It's been all these years,
Speaker 1: and now California because of things that were happening in
Speaker 1: bart Scouts in the Catholic Church said we're gonna give
Speaker 1: you three years. Anybody who was molested in those things
Speaker 1: when you were seven or eight years old, you have
Speaker 1: a right to come forward. Think about those people. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the only thing you can get his money. You can't
Speaker 1: go back and give them their innocence back. But when
Speaker 1: you have that civil compensation, it makes the county pay,
Speaker 1: It makes the corporations paying those type of things. And
Speaker 1: like we say on the trailer of Civil if anything
Speaker 1: America understands, it's money capitalist. It's capitalism one o one.
Speaker 1: And when you start making people pay, then they change
Speaker 1: their conduct, or you keep going until it becomes financially
Speaker 1: prohibited for them to be able to afford to treat
Speaker 1: black people and brown people like second class citizens. Now
Speaker 1: let me chime in on that though, right quick, because
Speaker 1: he gave you to Martin the which always say I'm Malcolm,
Speaker 1: and he's marks before you go because you know I'm
Speaker 1: about to go there money Because a lot of times
Speaker 1: people don't have the knowledge, right, So sometimes people call
Speaker 1: here or I see articles and they say, Attorney Benjamin
Speaker 1: Crump is an ambalance chaser. Right, He chases just to
Speaker 1: make money or the fat in his pockets. Right. And
Speaker 1: when Ted came up here, she spoke so eloquently about
Speaker 1: you don't solicit anybody. Yeah, people have to reach out
Speaker 1: to you. And many times people reach out to certain
Speaker 1: other attorneys or other anywhere anybody else and nothing gets done.
Speaker 1: And they don't see get done two until you step
Speaker 1: on the stage cause a day. So now now talko. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm about to talk about so yeah. So to the
Speaker 1: dumbos in the comments, I'm speaking directly to them. And
Speaker 1: again this is not a reflection of Attorney Crump. These
Speaker 1: are my own statements. When people say it's not about
Speaker 1: it's all about the money. First of all, that makes
Speaker 1: no sense. Only five percent of Attorney Crump's cases are
Speaker 1: police brutality. That's number one. Nobody talks about one hundred
Speaker 1: million dollar lawsuits that he's been able to get for
Speaker 1: folks who are alive and well, the six hundred million
Speaker 1: dollar lawsuits has been getting alive and well. America or
Speaker 1: any government has never paid for the value of black life.
Speaker 1: And so I find it amazing that the same people
Speaker 1: in the comments that will sue McDonald's for a slip
Speaker 1: and fall feel that it is not It makes no
Speaker 1: sense if someone takes your life and you feel that
Speaker 1: that families should not deserve compensation for their children that's
Speaker 1: been left behind. What it they is supposed to do
Speaker 1: exchange Roman noodles like in the pen. The only thing
Speaker 1: we have is the money compensation. But to ignore the
Speaker 1: fact that Attorney Crump pushes for the criminal punishment, to
Speaker 1: ignore the fact that policy actually comes out of these cases.
Speaker 1: When you talk about the BROWNA. Taylor Law, when you
Speaker 1: talk about that Andrew andre Hill Law, when you talk
Speaker 1: about one hundred cities that have now enacted police reform
Speaker 1: since the murder of George Floyd, it has been because
Speaker 1: Attorney Crump and a few others, and I'm saying a few,
Speaker 1: just to be generous, have brought these cases to light.
Speaker 1: There are billions of dollars every year that are settled
Speaker 1: based on police brutality. I ask people, why is it
Speaker 1: that your local attorney and your hometown never wants to
Speaker 1: take these cases. Why is it? It's not certainly not
Speaker 1: for lack of advertisement. Every commercial year, every day is
Speaker 1: if you've been injured in an accident, You've been in
Speaker 1: the accident. So why don't they take those cases? Angel?
Speaker 1: That's the question I ask people, why don't you see them? Well,
Speaker 1: the answer is in which you point this out in
Speaker 1: the film. They do not want to upset their DA
Speaker 1: they don't want to upset the governor. They don't want
Speaker 1: to upset their chief of police. They do not want
Speaker 1: to be blackballed and send the death threats for pennies.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say this and I'll be quiet when
Speaker 1: you look at these cases that attorney Crumbs takes or
Speaker 1: any civil attorney, these cases take years, two, three, four
Speaker 1: or five six years. You don't earn a dollar. So
Speaker 1: I would ask anybody in the comments, are you willing
Speaker 1: to work for forty hours a week for three to
Speaker 1: four years straight? Maybe maybe not get compensation at the end.
Speaker 1: It just makes zero sense. It doesn't add up. The
Speaker 1: math doesn't math. So when you hear those comments amulance chasing, no,
Speaker 1: everybody say that till is their love wanting the amulance.
Speaker 1: I'll use one story Morrowbirt, a case I worked on
Speaker 1: a twenty fifteen. The stepfather Monroe Birt, said, do not
Speaker 1: I don't want being crumb because the family called me
Speaker 1: first because their son was being dragged off through the media.
Speaker 1: They call me first, said I don't want being crump.
Speaker 1: I don't want none of that coming down because he's
Speaker 1: an ultra conservative Tulsa, Oklahoma, ultra conservatives, black man, but
Speaker 1: a conservative. But once his son got started getting dragged
Speaker 1: in the media, then it was can you call at
Speaker 1: Tna Croup because nobody was willing to stand and change
Speaker 1: the narrative. The narrative that has changed in the media
Speaker 1: affects the jury, It affects how they make those decisions.
Speaker 1: And so now seven years later they're passing the Monroe
Speaker 1: Bird Law. And that's the stuff that people don't keep
Speaker 1: up with. All well, move, we got more when we
Speaker 1: come back. It's the breakfast Club Commorny morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club but still kicking it with Attorney Benjamin Crump,
Speaker 1: Teslain Figaro and Nadia Hall Green. That discourage you at all, Like,
Speaker 1: no matter what, you out there to do good right
Speaker 1: And then so when you got people and people that
Speaker 1: look like you that you're fighting for and they go
Speaker 1: at you, does that discourage you at all? Envy, I
Speaker 1: try to be a student of history. They're good. Marsh
Speaker 1: has my personal hero Martin, then Malcolm. These are the
Speaker 1: people I MLA people don't understand fan that they were
Speaker 1: hated mostly by black people. You know, we have this
Speaker 1: revisionist history now that everybody loved them, but when they
Speaker 1: were at their peak, they were the most hated people
Speaker 1: in America by both white and black people. And so
Speaker 1: I always try to remember that and say, God, I
Speaker 1: know what mission you put on my shoulders, and I'm
Speaker 1: going to use these blessings, these influences to try to
Speaker 1: affect a better world for our children. And I'm never
Speaker 1: discouraged by anything. As we said in the family, don't
Speaker 1: be a spectator. If you feel you can do something,
Speaker 1: get in the arena. The easiest thing in the world
Speaker 1: to do is to sit home and be a critic
Speaker 1: and don't do anything else. The hero is the person
Speaker 1: who puts themselves out there, risk their reputation, their family, safety,
Speaker 1: and even their life and say this is about more
Speaker 1: than just me. We have these banking while black cases
Speaker 1: where we have recovered millions, hundreds of millions of dollars
Speaker 1: for black people, over two hundred millions, to be exactly.
Speaker 1: Let's put the number out there so they can know
Speaker 1: in the comments, and it's so astonishing to me. Envy
Speaker 1: and Angie that people would say, Oh, it's just about
Speaker 1: the money. What do you think banks and corporations are
Speaker 1: doing things for. Are they doing it just for charity?
Speaker 1: Are they doing it just because they had nothing better
Speaker 1: to do. No, they're doing it for the money. And
Speaker 1: so when we take on Whales Fargo, who we are
Speaker 1: currently fighting now because they were denying black people mortgages
Speaker 1: during a pandemic where the government had gave an opportunity,
Speaker 1: and I digress. I gotta say this, y'all absolutely doing
Speaker 1: the pandemic because they were worried about the economy. The
Speaker 1: government gave his Stork incentives to decrease the interest rate
Speaker 1: for home loans lord than they had been in seventy
Speaker 1: five years. Y'all understand. And for poor people in middle
Speaker 1: class people, the quickest way to gain wealth and equity
Speaker 1: is to be able to purchase a home and pass
Speaker 1: something more to your children and their children. That's how
Speaker 1: you get wealth accumulated. Well, even with all of this,
Speaker 1: where's Fargo's the nine black people? White people were getting
Speaker 1: incredible incentives to increase their wealth. By saying you got
Speaker 1: a two percent interest rate, you might save a million
Speaker 1: to two million dollars just because you were able to refinance.
Speaker 1: They said, no the black people, And so now I
Speaker 1: can where about the Negroes in the comments? So I
Speaker 1: can go say, no, where's Fargo. You probably stop black
Speaker 1: people from getting a billion dollars in equity. So guess
Speaker 1: what Being Krump gonna do. I don't care what you say.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get those black people that billion dollars.
Speaker 1: But now let's talk to you, because this is a
Speaker 1: spicy room if you haven't, so let's talk about you
Speaker 1: directed this and what made you want to do this film?
Speaker 1: Like most of us, I was sitting home during that
Speaker 1: time when everything was happening in America, the pandemic, George
Speaker 1: Floyd's murdered, and I'm like, I'm a filmmaker. I need
Speaker 1: to be out there doing something. And then I get
Speaker 1: a call from Kenya Barris and he's like, I've been
Speaker 1: working on something with Ben Crump. We want to make
Speaker 1: a documentary. Do you want to get involved? So grab
Speaker 1: the camera. Just got on the role with Ben, and
Speaker 1: I just knew that this was a moment to document
Speaker 1: history and what was happening in America. And you also
Speaker 1: showed Ban Crump's family his mom. Now, why was that
Speaker 1: important in framing this story? One thing I thought was
Speaker 1: so special when I met Attorney Crump was just who
Speaker 1: he is as a person, as an individual, his values,
Speaker 1: you know, at the highest standard at where that came from.
Speaker 1: Was that hard for you to expose that part of
Speaker 1: your life, because that's not something you ever do. It's
Speaker 1: very hard to expose your personal life. I will say this.
Speaker 1: My mom was here at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere
Speaker 1: and we grew up in the My mother raised me
Speaker 1: and my two brothers and her baby brother, working two jobs,
Speaker 1: I mean, doing everything for us. And it was so
Speaker 1: beautiful for my mother to see what she did, I mean,
Speaker 1: standing ovation and then out of times where they got.
Speaker 1: Netflix really has invested in this movie, and they have
Speaker 1: a Billboy eighty foot off the ground on forty second
Speaker 1: and Broadway. And for my mom MO to say, we
Speaker 1: started in the projects and now we're here, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just a testament to a strong black woman who's
Speaker 1: saying I won't let this world destroy my children. And
Speaker 1: so my mom and my wife, my daughter, everybody in
Speaker 1: this film, they just kept it rare. How's your family
Speaker 1: deal with it? Because it's it's you know, it's like
Speaker 1: anything else. Yeah. I mean, if you could just take
Speaker 1: all the negativity, is all good, but it bleeds into
Speaker 1: your wife, it bleeds into your kids, and then you know,
Speaker 1: A test was talking up the other day about the
Speaker 1: death threats. How did your family deal with it? How
Speaker 1: are they okay? It's hard. Obviously as adults we understand
Speaker 1: what we're doing. My nine year old daughter watched the
Speaker 1: film for the first time yesterday and she said, Daddy,
Speaker 1: you got a death threat. And she was very concerned
Speaker 1: about it, nine years old, and so we had that
Speaker 1: conversation about baby, Dad is out here fighting for you
Speaker 1: to have a better world, and sometimes people don't want
Speaker 1: to see our black children have an equal opportunity at life.
Speaker 1: We have to fight for our rights. We can never
Speaker 1: take stuff for granted. And she was like, but you
Speaker 1: didn't do anything wrong. I said, babe, I know that,
Speaker 1: and you will learn that some people feel that they're
Speaker 1: superior to us because the color of their skin. And
Speaker 1: that's always a difficult conversation to have with young people
Speaker 1: because they want to see the best in the world.
Speaker 1: She was asking me questions. Man, she is terrified by
Speaker 1: these school shootings. I think we all ask for your
Speaker 1: children to have to deal with that trauma. What happens daddy,
Speaker 1: if it happens in our school, you know. So we
Speaker 1: talk about those things. I think about how my wife,
Speaker 1: my brothers, everybody in their minds, they are prepared that
Speaker 1: it could happen. And we have to protect your family
Speaker 1: when you're on the road so much. I mean they're
Speaker 1: constantly checking on them and everything. And that's the other
Speaker 1: side that Tas was talking about. My law partners, now,
Speaker 1: we don't make that much money doing police brutality. We
Speaker 1: make our money from doing mass to it, saying class
Speaker 1: action work, stuff that you know is going up against
Speaker 1: these corporate titans. This police civil rights work, it's something
Speaker 1: you do because you care. Nobody does civil rights work
Speaker 1: to it rich. It's the least profitable division in my
Speaker 1: law firm. I pray so much that we can close
Speaker 1: down the police brutality the vision of the ben Crump
Speaker 1: Law Firm, because then that would mean tray Vin will
Speaker 1: get to live because somebody then profile him. Amad Aubrey,
Speaker 1: I mean all these young black people in the film,
Speaker 1: not he has a part in a fifteen year old,
Speaker 1: eighteen year old in a nineteen year old in a
Speaker 1: week's time. All get killed by the police, completely unjustified.
Speaker 1: But if we can somehow have them look at our
Speaker 1: children like they look at their children, then our children
Speaker 1: will get to live. And that's what I pray for. Man,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm fighting. I've made enough money. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be okay. My law firm would rather I just stopped
Speaker 1: doing the civil rights They like you did enough Crump.
Speaker 1: We can make money a lot easier and more of
Speaker 1: it if you would just quit doing this civil rights work.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, then I would be selling out my soul.
Speaker 1: Now it's about fighting for our children. Man, I have
Speaker 1: don't move. We got more when we come back. It's
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is cej Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we all the Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: was still kicking it with attorney Benjamin Krump, Teslain Figaro,
Speaker 1: and Nadia Wholegrin. So let me ask you a question. Now,
Speaker 1: Nadia is the director, what's the biggest taket where you
Speaker 1: get out of this documentary? What I hope, Envy is
Speaker 1: that when people watch this film, they have a much
Speaker 1: deeper nuanced understanding of what life is like in our
Speaker 1: communities than they ever have before, and that they understand
Speaker 1: the work that Attorney Crump does. You know something we
Speaker 1: spoke about earlier, just this idea that civil law and
Speaker 1: criminal law are actually two different things, and we were
Speaker 1: surprised in this film when we showed it to people
Speaker 1: and they didn't understand it. So just to give people
Speaker 1: a basic understanding of how the law works as well.
Speaker 1: So it's an educational tool, but it's really to bring
Speaker 1: people in and show behind the scenes of what these
Speaker 1: cases are really like other outside of the press conferences
Speaker 1: and the new cycle tells you want to anybody else,
Speaker 1: anything else the world, I just think I'll just echo
Speaker 1: you know, the world. It is important that people understand
Speaker 1: civil law and criminal law because the prosecutors, I think
Speaker 1: intentionally sometimes lose these cases. We have never lost a
Speaker 1: police brutality the case, but people sometimes can't distinguish the two,
Speaker 1: and so I think not it does a good job
Speaker 1: or reminding people of what we should have learned in
Speaker 1: seventh grade Civics class, that the government is the only
Speaker 1: people can prosecute you and put you in jail. And
Speaker 1: then the seventh Amendment says, if you've had a wrong
Speaker 1: that you believe as being put upon you, you have
Speaker 1: a right to sue them, and if the agrees with you,
Speaker 1: you are are entitled to compensation. And the law has
Speaker 1: some reason for that because they don't want people trying
Speaker 1: to solve their disputes in the street by shooting and
Speaker 1: killing one another. No. No, you come to the court
Speaker 1: of law and if a jury agrees, then the only
Speaker 1: thing we can give you is monitory damage. That's the accountability.
Speaker 1: That is the accountability. Before a test gives her final word,
Speaker 1: I do want to say that I know you've been
Speaker 1: inspired by thirdgood Marshall, and you speak on it all
Speaker 1: the time. But I feel like after seeing this, kids
Speaker 1: will being inspired by you, and that's the thing that
Speaker 1: will make the next generation want to become active, become attorneys,
Speaker 1: become civil rights attorneys and make sure that they do
Speaker 1: what's right. Absolutely, we appreciate you. Thank you. I'll dropped
Speaker 1: the sick of the positivity encouraging me to be I
Speaker 1: will say this, and I talked about this in my
Speaker 1: last Breakfast Club interview on my Push the Line training
Speaker 1: that's coming up politics. Until that happens, I want to
Speaker 1: give a quick shout out to text six six eight
Speaker 1: sixty six. Push the line to six six eight sixty six.
Speaker 1: What is that about? It is about getting in the fight.
Speaker 1: What people should get from this documentary at the end
Speaker 1: is being Crump says, get into the arena. I know
Speaker 1: who I am, and I know whose I am, and
Speaker 1: what does that really mean. You've got three ways to
Speaker 1: get involved. Now. You can just be in the comments,
Speaker 1: or you can get involved on the criminal side, to
Speaker 1: push for the folks get arrested, to push to end
Speaker 1: qualified immunity, like what happened in New York City, by
Speaker 1: the way, like what happened in Colorado, by the way.
Speaker 1: You can talk about making sure folks get arrested. You
Speaker 1: can talk about the protest side. You can talk about
Speaker 1: the punitive damage as side, which is what Attorney Crump does.
Speaker 1: Or you can talk about the policy, which is what
Speaker 1: I talk about, which is one Over one hundred cities
Speaker 1: have passed some level of police reform that nobody talks about.
Speaker 1: We still have to push on the federal level for
Speaker 1: the George Floyd Justin Police and Act, but over one
Speaker 1: hundred cities have made some difference. The bottom line is
Speaker 1: you have every opportunity to be involved. My logo pushed
Speaker 1: the line and has each person one pushing the p
Speaker 1: to you, the s and the h. Nobody's paying attention
Speaker 1: to what's going on beside them. There's a child on
Speaker 1: the side that is watching with their fists up, watching
Speaker 1: what it is that we're doing. So you can push
Speaker 1: or you can talk. In the Bible, whether you are believing,
Speaker 1: I'm only talking to the believers, it says that at
Speaker 1: the end, you know, we talk about who's the goat,
Speaker 1: who's the goat, who's the goat, Who's the greatest of
Speaker 1: all time? We love throwing that around in hip hop,
Speaker 1: But in the end, there is going to become a
Speaker 1: time where the goat will be separated from the sheep.
Speaker 1: What is the sheep? People say the sheep is who
Speaker 1: follows and who does what man does. But in the
Speaker 1: Word of God, it says that the sheep is about
Speaker 1: the shepherd's business. So you are either going to be
Speaker 1: about for the least of these? Are you going to
Speaker 1: be one of the goat that are not here to
Speaker 1: serve those who have been in prison, to serve those
Speaker 1: who have been disenfranchised, to serve those who have been
Speaker 1: marginalized and when it's time to make that accountability. And
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, then I don't have nothing to worry about.
Speaker 1: If I just disappear into existence, fine, But what if
Speaker 1: I'm right, dj Envy. If I'm right, there's going to
Speaker 1: be the question what did you do? And the answer
Speaker 1: won't be well, I was in the DM whole being
Speaker 1: he should do this. I told t what did you
Speaker 1: do for the least of these You've been challenged right
Speaker 1: now to do something one of those three four things.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about what's been doing. Get the arena and
Speaker 1: get your squaw bone. It's plenty of people that's talking
Speaker 1: from the stands. We talked about that Friday, everybody at
Speaker 1: the game. But guess what, we don't all play the
Speaker 1: same position. I've never once seen Lebron James turn around
Speaker 1: to the stand and say what y'all think I should do?
Speaker 1: Should I go? This? Attorney Crumb got a focus on
Speaker 1: playing the game, and you got people like me that's
Speaker 1: on the sideline on the bench cheering them on. Let's go,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go off a cheerleader all through school,
Speaker 1: my job was to say let's go, but to also
Speaker 1: challenge at the same time say in turn crupt, I
Speaker 1: don't really like that. I'm not feeling that, but I'm
Speaker 1: on the court in the game. So if you just
Speaker 1: understands talking, you just understands talking, let's start walking and
Speaker 1: let's be about our business. Civil is out this Sunday
Speaker 1: Fusday Team June tenth. Definitely check it out and we
