I need that nice three-day weekend because we used to not, you know, be in here because of the

holidays. So I'll take this three-day weekend. I'm ready. I'm actually going to Atlanta on Saturday. Lord have mercy. You trying to catch Corona? Nah, I'm not trying to catch it. You're trying to catch Corona. Like I told you, the last nine months, you know, I was with family, and my mother and father came over, and I haven't DJ'd, and I miss it. And I have to go to Atlanta.

You miss what? I got to check on some property. I miss being out there and knowing, understanding. You told us you miss your parents. Right. Right? The reason you miss your parents is because you can't see your parents because of COVID. But you're going to go to a COVID hotspot and mix and mingle?

But Thanksgiving and Christmas, because I was inside, I didn't do traveling, I was able to be around my parents. But now, as a DJ, and I'm just telling you some honest things, and I think Dramos will even understand, if you don't know what's going on, you don't know what records to play, you don't know what records to out.

What's wrong with your internet? It's not the same. It's not the same. I will say this, though, still be safe. A whole bunch of my family What's wrong with your internet? It's not the same. It's not the same. What do you mean? It's not the same. It's not the same. And being a DJ. I will say this, though. Just still be safe. A whole bunch of my family members just got COVID.

Yeah. So it's out there and it's not a game. I understand what y'all say when y'all say it's not the same. But guess who else is not in the club? These kids, because they're not old enough. But I bet you they know every hot record that you don't. Because they on the stream and they on every hot record that you don't because they on streaming, they on TikTok-ing, and all that other stuff, okay? Actually going to the club is kind of a,

and I get it, I like the energy of the club too, but it's kind of an old school way of keeping the door, what's going on. No, not necessarily. It's still records that still get broke in the club. If not, y'all going to be here in the box for another year and a half. No, no, no, no, no.

By the way, by the Listen, by the way. What's the next song we're about to play? The Box. See? Those radio heads, they just have an old school way of doing things because they are indeed old school. But guess what? I'll be on Spotify, Rap Caviar.

All right? Okay. That's how I'll keep up. But I got to go. I'll be on titles, the music playlist. Just be as safe as possible. Yeah, no. Definitely. I'm definitely his home. And alllists. Just be as safe as possible. Yeah, no. Just because. No, definitely.

It definitely hits home. And all it takes is for one thing to happen. And then next thing you know, everybody has it. Yeah, no. Trust me. I just experienced that in my own family. Were your family in the club? I'm just saying all it takes is one person.

My uncle died yesterday, actually. Damn. Sorry to hear that. Sorry to hear that. So I'm just saying it's a real thing. Absolutely. Absolutely. But yeah, I'm going to the A to go look at some property,

and then I got to do, spend at a day party, and then I'll be back the next day. I'm looking at Rap Caviar right now. Way out, Big Sean and Jack Harlow, Moonwalkin' and Calabash's, DDG and Blueface, Drankin' and Smokin', Future and Lil Vert. There you go. Whoopty CJ. Everybody a little baby. Well, you stay home, and then and Blueface. Drinking and smoking, Future and Little Vert. There you go. Whoopty CJ. Everybody a little baby.

Well, you stay home and then you enjoy it. This is nice and safe. All right. Well, you heading out of town too, right? Yes, I'll be in Austin, Texas. I had to get my COVID test yesterday. And then when we go there, we get tested twice a day. And we have to stay in the bubble.

Where are you going in Austin? What's in Austin? Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle's been doing these weekend shows. So for my birthday this year, since I couldn't really do anything, me and a few of my friends are going to Austin. Everybody has to get tested, submit their test today

before they get on the flight. And then we go to Austin. Y'all mixy. But whatever you do, just do it as safely as you possibly can. That's all I'm saying. That's how I feel. When I'm home watching WandaVision on Disney Plus this weekend, I'll be safe and sound.

Trust me. Yeah, my doctor told me when I travel, make sure you wear two masks. One is to get a K95, you wear that mask, and then wear one of the paper masks over it, and then make sure you wear glasses, some type of sunglasses to protect your eyes. What? That sounds like the people who used to tell you

to wear two condoms. No, but that's what she told me, to make sure you got to be double-glued. I mean, she's a doctor. She's a physician's assistant. That's what she does all day long. I feel you. I'm going to be home watching WandaVision.

And Dramos, I meant to tell you. You know, they announced yesterday that they're going to be in New Jersey. They're going to be giving the vaccines from age 16 now. If you have any preconditioned problems or anything, they'll give you the vaccine. I'll be there.

So you can get your vaccine ASAP. Good news. Mm-hmm. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Who's joining us today? Andrew Yang? Andrew Yang. Andrew Yang will be here.

Andrew Yang will be joining us this morning. Yang, gang. So we're going to be kicking it with Andrew Yang. He's got an announcement, I think. Well, yeah, if we made an announcement already. I've been hearing commercials already. Yeah. But if you haven't, he has an announcement to make.

You have no idea what it is. And you have no idea what it is. And also front page news, what we talk about. Let's talk about Jacob Blake. He was shot in the back seven times by Kenosha police. And now he's done an interview with Michael Strahan for good morning, America. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. It's the breakfast club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne, the guide. We are the breakfast club. Let's get some front page news. Now you have information on his trade. Your Brooklyn Nets. All I know is what we all thought was going to happen. Really happened. James Harden has come, your Brooklyn Nets. All I know is what we all thought was going to happen really happened. James Harden has come to the Brooklyn Nets. Now, he wasn't too happy at the Rockets. If you all recall, he said this. Which is not good enough.

Obviously, chemistry, talent-wise, just everything. And it was clear, like I said, these last few games. I love this city. I literally have done everything that I can. I mean, this situation is crazy. You know, it's something that I don't think can be fixed. So, yeah, thanks. Damn.

Well, he's off to Brooklyn. I don't know how that's going to work. You have three dominant players that need the ball in their hand at all times. And the fact that all of them are going to need the ball, there's not enough basketballs in Brooklyn. Yeah, I don't think, I don't know how it's going to work either. There's not enough balls to go around. Harden doesn't pass the ball.

Who's going to play defense? All right. Not to mention you got Kyrie showing up when he wants to. James Harden still got to get in shape. The Nets are barely over 500 now. I wouldn't let Jared Allen go. I feel like you need that big rim protector. Like I said, who's going to play defense?

Who's going to go out the rim on that team? I don't see it. I don't see it working, personally. But we'll see. Right. We'll be watching. We'll definitely be watching. Definitely be watching.

At the least, it's going to be entertaining. At the least. Yeah, I don't know why I didn't let Jared Allen go either. All right. Now, Jacob Blake was shot in the back seven times by Kenosha police officer Rustin Sheskey as he returned to the driver's side of his SUV. And he has now done an interview with Michael Strahan. It's been about five months. As you know, he's paralyzed from the waist down because of that shooting.

And that officer will not face any legal repercussions for those potentially deadly actions. Here's what he had to say in this interview. I kind of went limp. And all I remember at that point was kind of leaning back, looking at my boys. I said, Daddy love you, no matter what. I thought it was going to be the last. I thought it was going to be the last thing I say to them.

Thank God it wasn't. God bless Jacob Blake, man. I don't know how people can sleep at night after doing something like that to a person. That brother's life is irreversibly changed forever. The trauma that he will always feel forever. How can you sleep at night knowing you did that to a human? That's wild.

Right. Right. He was shot seven times by that police officer. That police officer is currently on administrative leave if you want to see that full interview that's on today on good morning america shout to michael strand yeah all right and also i mean i know you guys probably seen the video of the pastor that was was shot i think what three or four times yesterday or the day before yesterday who shot the pastor pastor was they called the family called i'm saying the pastor was having

some mental issues and they asked for a mental, I guess, a mental health representative to come. An officer came, the pastor who was unarmed. They said they didn't have anybody that could come for the mental health expert. Yeah, so the pastor who was unarmed, hands up, police came, and next thing you hear is, bop, bop, bop, and you just hear the family, I told you don't use your gun. I told you don't shoot him. What did they use the gun for if you didn't have no weapons though? Bro, why do they always use the gun when we don't have any weapons? That's why you need other

people to respond to folks dealing with mental health issues. But how do you shoot a pastor? Did they know he was a pastor? At least. I don't know. At least, I mean the pastor's a staple in the community, right? Most communities. I don't know. Especially the black community. If you know who the pastor is, if you know the pastor, that's pastor of such and such church,

you're going to shoot that pastor? Lord have mercy. With no weapon. Family all left. The whole family ain't there. Screaming, no, don't do it. He just needs help. Please, no, no gun.

You do that to a pastor. You realize the error in your ways. Then you try to go to another pastor to ask for forgiveness. If I was the pastor that they go to, I would say, nope, Jesus is ignoring all y'all prayers. Y'all find somewhere else to go. Alright, well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide

open. Again, 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?

This is Goldie, DJ Golden Rose from Columbus, Ohio. Hey, DJ Golden Rose, good morning. Good morning. I actually just wanted to agree with you, DJ MB. It's hard for us during COVID, not, you know, going out to the club, seeing the records that's dropping and everything. I have a whole, like, black-owned business pop-up shop that I have to do in a couple weeks that I have no idea what to play. Yeah, I mean, it gets difficult. People don't understand that, but, you know, as a DJ, as a working DJ, that's how you feel.

And, I mean, like you said, if you've got to go out and you're going out, you've just got to be extra careful. But I was in a similar thing. Like, you're so stuck in your mood. You don't know what people are listening to, what's hot, what moves, what shakes. And for myself, I want to know that and I need to know that. So, I'm going to have to touch the club every once in a while. But we can't act like there's not the Internet, too, though.

I mean, and I get it. Okay, touch the club every once in a while. But we can't act like there's not the internet too though. And I get it. But the internet doesn't help. Why not? These kids are the ones that's breaking the new records. They the ones.

You can go to Rap Caviar on Spotify right now and it'll let you know everything that's hot. All these things. They got tens of millions of screams. But you know I'm not

DJing team parties though. I'm DJing for. These same songs. These same songs, these same songs you play in the club. Some of them songs only work in your car. Lil Baby?

Well, Lil Baby's different. 2 Chainz? Anything Lil Baby. Everybody plays Lil Baby. Yeah, that's a little different. And I get it. The club has a different energy, but, you know,

there is other ways to find new music. Just gotta be careful. Well, thank you, Mama. Good luck on your show. Thank you. You never lose with Lil Baby. Lil Baby, Lil Baby, Lil Baby.

And play some mulatto. Mulatto. Oh, yeah, definitely. All right, Mama. And now you got to play that Erica Banks Busted Challenge. Yeah, play that, Erica. Yeah, play that. Good morning, y'all.

You mean that song that broke on the internet? No, we didn't. Talk to me, y'all. Talk to me. Y'all shouldn't talk about it. I'm more important. Okay, yes. What's up, King?

How are you? How are you, brother? I'm good, man. Good morning, Angela. Good morning. I'm doing okay. How are you? I'm good.

You said that twice. We heard it the first time, but go ahead. You know you're trying to get your joke off. Go ahead, bro. No, three times the term.

DJ Bage, hey, hey. Trash. Hey, listen, man. I called last year, you know what I'm saying? I was closing on my house. I finally, finally did it, man. They made it so hard for a black couple to get their house together. I hear that a lot.

I'm talking about, like, the day before closing, they're calling for documentation that we sent two months ago. Yep. You know what I'm saying? And expecting that at 4.30 in the afternoon after business hours to get this stuff situated. But, you know, we took it to our Lord, you know what I'm saying? And he has no plans to harm us.

The only plan for us is to prosper. So the devil didn't win. Congrats, man. I appreciate it. I just wanted to take a little melody for my lady, man, my fiance. That's all. That's it, man. Give me a countdown from three. I got this.

First of all, listen. First of all, New York strip club not even open, right? He's going to run out of there. Listen, he's going to run out of there quick. Too many people want to rock. It's just not going to happen. Kyrie still think the earth's flat. It's too much going on in New York.

It ain't going to happen. What's your team, Moon? Philly. I'm a fan of the casino. I'm a sports better, so I don't really have a team. You're not a Sixers fan and you Moon? Philly. I'm a fan of the casino. I'm a sports batter, so I don't really have a team. You're not a Sixers fan, and you're from Philly? I'm a Sixers fan, but like I said, I'm a fan of the casino, man. Whoever can cover the spread, that's who I'm with.

Sixers got the best record in the East right now, I believe. Yeah, they got the best record in the East. But you got to understand that Ben ain't going to shoot. He's still not going to shoot. He can't give us more than 20 points. Phillies don't like spending money on what they need to spend money on. They'll get rid of you as soon as they feel like you ain't doing what you got to do. Ben Simmons plays good defense, though, bro.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.

I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.

Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages.

One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new

history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, 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 YFN Lucci. It's about time. What's going on?

Rumor report. Rumor report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, YFN Lucci turned himself into police yesterday. He faces a murder charge, and that's in connection to a fatal shooting that happened last month. Now, they said he was wanted on charges of felony murder, aggravated assault, participation in street gang activity,

and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Officers did respond to calls of a person that was shot around 5 20 p.m. December 10th. That's when they found James Adams, 28 years old, in the street with a gunshot wound to his face. And then a short time later, a second victim, Kevin Wright, arrived at an area fire station by private vehicle with a gunshot wound to his abdomen. Homicide investigators feel like those two shootings were likely related. They also did put out a 911 call that led to the felony murder warrant for YFN

Lucci's arrest. That's going to cost a grip. I hope he wasn't involved in that situation, but if he wasn't, it's going to cost him a lot of money to prove he wasn't. The 911 call is so crazy. I mean, you know, there was two ladies, they were walking down the street and was like, hey, we just seen a car just throw a dude out on

the street. And he's shot in the head and he's, like, I just seen him take his last breath. The 911 call is crazy. That happened in Atlanta? Yeah. In Atlanta. That's where you going this weekend? Mm-hmm. Oh, okay. Mm-hmm. You work in New York? I... Mm-mm. I don't.

I don't, actually. I really don't. You're all right. All right. Now, in the wake of James Harden's comments that we played for you guys earlier, where he just feels like the Rockets just aren't good enough, DeMarcus Cousins has some things to say. Here's what he said. Me, personally, I don't feel betrayed at all.

My interest is playing with John Wall, to be brutally honest. That being said, the disrespect started way before, you know, any interview. Just the approach to the training camp, showing up the way he did, the antics off the court. I mean, the disrespect started way before. Damn. DeMarcus kept it 100.

That's real. He said James Harden showed up looking like he wanted to do the busting challenge. You got all that ass, you know what I mean? He was like, you ain't come here in shape. You wasn't respecting yourself. You wasn't respecting your teammates. That is disrespectful.

You have a responsibility. When you put your name on that contract, you have a responsibility to show up. To you and your teammates. Not only for yourself, but to your teammates and the people that watch you. Yeah, that is disrespectful. It is. All right, now Freddie Gibbs just recently did an interview with Vulture, and it seems like he's down to squash his beef with Jeezy.

He does admit that his real diss track from the Mad Lib produced Pinata album was spawned from hurt feelings. He said he doesn't have any issues with Jeezy, because remember he was signed to Jeezy. And he just says, I was more hurt than anything. That's what it feels like when one of your favorite rappers gets at you like that.

I think that he sees where I'm at now and then he looks back at that ish and he regrets it. I don't say I regret nothing, but it's better ways I could have handled things with him, maybe talked it out and communicated better.

Maybe it could have worked out. That's real. I respect that. Freddie is recognizing his wounded ego and sometimes your ego be wounded and you project your hurt onto other people. And it has nothing to do with the person that you're projecting it on.

So salute to Freddie Gibbs. I respect that. I wonder what changed his mind, though, because 30 days ago, it was totally opposite. It's life. You grow. You evolve. You know what I mean?

And that might have been the moment that he really realized the error in his ways. Because I didn't understand why he was going in on Jeezy so much during the Gucci battle. Like, but he said it. It's his hurt. That's wounded ego. He was hurt.

And he's also nominated for a Grammy Award for his album. Sometimes being successful, like sometimes you're down more when things aren't working out, but then things start really going the way they should

and then you feel a little better about a situation and you look back and you're like, all right, I'm not mad. Well, I hope they squash it out. Freddie's a good human. Salute to Freddie Gibbs.

Drop on the Clues Bonds with Freddie Gibbs. He also addressed his issues with academics. And, you know, he was going to academics. Academics, he says, events he lost his job with everyday struggle. And he said the whole thing was corny. I just feel like certain guys like that, their opinion don't really matter. Why are we even listening to a guy like that? How did he get on Twitch?

He's not a DJ. I ain't got no problem with the kid. I seen that kid one day in L.A. before all of this started, and when I tapped him on the shoulder, he was hella spooked. So he knows what I'm about. I mean, academic's opinion does matter. If it didn't matter, people wouldn't care. He does have a following.

He does have people that listen to him. So I never say academic's opinion don't matter. That's not true. He never claimed to be tough. He never claimed to be no wild out have people that listen to him. I never say academics' opinion don't matter. That's not true. He never claimed to be tough. He never claimed to be no, you know, wild out and bring the guns with him. But, you know, academics has an opinion, and I never understood why people say, you know, academics' opinion doesn't matter, but then everybody gets at

him all the time. Because they know his opinion really does matter. Obviously, it sparks some feelings with a bunch of artists. All right. Now, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says that she felt like she could have died last week at the Capitol when Trump supporters actually rioted and showed up there.

And she was on live, and here's what she said. I had a pretty traumatizing event happen to me. And I do not know if I can even disclose the full details of that event due to security concerns. But I can tell you that I had a very close encounter where I thought I was going to die. And not just in a general sense, but also in a very, very specific sense. Well, AOC, the feeling is mutual because I felt like you could have died too. I actually wondered how bad that could have been if those members of Al Cracker would have seen AOC

or Representative Omar or Nancy Pelosi, like if they would have actually got eyes on one of them or been in the vicinity of one of them, that would have been one of the most horrible tragedies that ever happened on American soil. I thought about that the other day and you know, if you're a business owner and you have cash, you're able to carry a

gun. Are these congressmen and women able to carry firearms to protect themselves? No, they got metal detectors now at the White House, which I think is so strange to me. Like, why are you checking? Well, you know what? I take that back. You have to check the members of Congress because you don't know who's who. You don't know who's on whose side.

You don't know. It clearly was an inside job at the Capitol. So, yes, you should have metal detectors. So I get it. But if they don't supply security with them at all times, AOC still got to go back to the Bronx. If I was AOC, I would hire my own security. You know what I mean? I'd go get the FOI.

I'd go get a couple goons from the Bronx who still walk around with box cutters and know how to get through the metal detectors and have them with me at all times in Congress, alright? Me two brothers with some Timbs, some jean shorts on, okay? And a baby fat bubble coat. What Remy Martin say, we walk around a metal detector.

That's what I'm telling you. Goodness gracious. That's what I'm telling you. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Baby fat bubble coat. That don't make sense. That don't make sense.

That's a women's line. Sounds like you might have had one. I never had a baby fat bubble coat. Baby fat bubble coat is for women. You guys have fat farm or you have baby fat. When they were 16 in the Bronx. They brought baby fat back, you know.

They cover it up. That's why they call it a baby fat coat. The coat covered up the pregnancy that they was trying to hide from their parents when they was young in the Bronx. He's just making that up. All right. I didn't know a thing.

Just in the Bronx. That is your rumor report. When we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? Yes, and Donald Trump has released a video, and he is asking for people to stay calm. Oh, please.

All right. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Mountain Dew is partnering with HBCUs in an effort to uplift the next generation of badass black innovators and entrepreneurs with the Real Change Opportunity Fund Pitch Competition.

Empowering students to go out and do. Visit mountaindew.com slash realchange to enter. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get in some front page news. Now, if you're just waking up and you haven't heard,

James Harden has been traded to the Brooklyn Nets. It was a four-team deal between, I believe, the Pacers, Cleveland, Houston, and Brooklyn. It's going to be so interesting. Yeah, it's going to be interesting. We'll see what happens. I don't know if that's a great trade. Maybe it is, because maybe

they're expecting to trade Kyrie Irving, maybe to trade somebody else, but I just think that it's not that many balls in Brooklyn. Yeah, it's definitely not that many balls in Brooklyn. It's a great trade if they win a championship, but I don't see it. I don't know who's going to play defense on that team. Like you said, I don't see enough balls to go

around, and I don't think Steve Nash is an experienced enough coach to put all of that together. Plus, who's going to be the third wheel in that situation? Because somebody got to take an L. It's just like when the Miami Heat was together. Braun and James and Bosh. Bosh ended up having to take the L. You think KD's taking the L? No, he's the alpha. You think

James Harden's going to take the backseat? Doubt it. Kyrie? Absolutely not. I don't know who can control all of those egos. I don't see it. We'll see. What else we talking about, Yeezy? Speaking of egos, Donald't i don't see it we'll see what else we talking about easy oh well speaking of egos donald trump has made history as he was impeached for a second time so the house voted 232 to 197 to impeach donald trump after rioters did force lawmakers to flee from the chamber

and impeachment won't force him from office. He actually won't face his trial until Joe Biden is sworn in on the 20th. But Nancy Pelosi said, we know that the president of the United States incited this insurrection that is armed rebellion against our common country. He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love. Now, Donald Trump, in the meantime, has released a video. And in this video, he's calling for a calm and actually condemning what happened in D.C. I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week. Making America great again has always been about defending the rule of law, supporting the men and women of law enforcement and upholding our nation's most sacred traditions and values.

Mob violence goes against everything I believe in and everything our movement stands for. We cannot tolerate it. Those who engaged in the attacks last week will be brought to justice. Trump is a master at scotastic terrorism. Suit to my guy, Jordan Carlos. We were talking yesterday and he schooled me to Scootastic terrorism Sooth my guy Jordan Carlos We were talking yesterday And he schooled me to Scootastic terrorism

And it's the idea that Someone who's a leader Or who has a voice in the media Puts out messages That there's a reasonable certainty Someone will act on it And you have no idea Who the person is

So he'll be like Them's are terrible They are criminals They need to be stopped And it's a real possibility That someone out there Will hear that message And take action

And that's what that mayonnaise That's what that mayonnaise Fl flavored mob did last week. So even now when he says things like, we don't want violence, but. He's sending signals. They stole the election, but we don't want violence. Like, you know what I mean? It's just like, come on. He's a master at stochastic.

I think I'm pronouncing it right. Stochastic, whatever, terrorism. Doesn't sound right. It's S-T-O-C-H-A-S-T-I-C, terrorism. Go look it up. Sounds like a form of Morse code. All right, well, yes, in that very same speech, he does also talk about the, quote,

unprecedented assault on free speed to be seen in recent days. Efforts to censor, cancel, and blacklist our fellow citizens are wrong and they are dangerous. See what I'm saying? The word I can't pronounce. Terrorism. Stochastic terrorism. We got you, bro. Stochastic. In addition to that, if you were planning to go to D.C. for inauguration

and you rented a spot from Airbnb, it's not happening. Airbnb has canceled and blocked D.C. reservations for inauguration week. So if you were planning to go, if you booked some type of Airbnb, it will be canceled. They're telling people do not come to D.C. You see how too much mayonnaise spoils

everything? Because what if I was going to D.C. because I really want to be a part of the Biden-Harris inauguration. Now I can't even go because too much goddamn mayonnaise was on Capitol Hill last week and it spoiled the sandwich for everybody. Too much goddamn mayonnaise. What if it wasn't even for that,

and you were going to D.C. for a whole nother reason? What if I... Now my Airbnb is canceled. What if I had some cheeks lined up? You know what I mean? What if I'm a single person, and I'm going to D.C. for the weekend, and I'm, you know, risking getting COVID for some cheeks?

Well, you're going to have to take the cheeks to another place, Baltimore. It's still COVID. I'm just saying. I was lined up for D.C. But I mean, depending on who the person is, yeah, you can drive to Baltimore. What's his name, Sheldon? Man, shut up, man. I'm a married man.

Alright, well, that is your front page news. This guy, man. What's wrong with this guy? What's wrong with me? Alright. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Andrew Yang will be joining us. Yang Gang will be in the building. He has an announcement that he wants to tell the world.

So we'll talk to Andrew Yang. Is this exclusive? I don't think so. But we're going to talk to him when we come back. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest on the line right now and in the building. Andrew Yee! In the virtual building! Welcome! Hello, Breakfast Club! Hello, New York City! And you know what? Usually it's bromance when you come up here

because it's just usually you, me, and Charlamagne, but today you decided to join us this time. Thank goodness! I was so tired of just hanging out with you and Charlamagne, DJ Envy. We all know Angela elevates us all well thank you andrew yang who by the way is running for mayor of new york city who told you that who told you

that is that official is that official andrew yang it's official i am running for mayor of the greatest city in the world let's go new york city sorry you stepped on your announcement oh it's all to the good. It's about, I've been ready to go for a little while, but you know, like to launch one of these campaigns, you have to dot some I's and cross some T's, but it's go time, New York.

And yesterday was your birthday, so happy birthday. Thank you, thank you. 46 years young. Okay. Prime of my life. So 46 is your birthday and you want to put on all the stress. So why do you want to run for mayor of New York City? It's because my city is hurting, and I believe I can help. If you look at the numbers, a couple hundred thousand people have left.

We've lost 25,000 lives. Unemployment's over 10%, which is almost twice the national average. We're missing 60 million tourists who used to support over 300,000 jobs. I mean, this city is in deep distress, and we need to step up. And I believe I can help get us on a path to real recovery that not just is trying to return us to the New York of pre-COVID, but also can solve some of the problems that we've been struggling with for years and decades. Because even pre-COVID, there were a lot of New Yorkers who were not included

in any of the economic success or growth. Andrew, I saw that you got some people talking, some backlash for some comments that you made about leaving New York City during this pandemic and how hard it is to be working in a two-bedroom apartment and have your kids there. So what do you have to say in response to that? Because people were saying, well, Andrew Yang during this pandemic, he hasn't been in New York City. Are you left New York during the

pandemic? Oh yeah, I was in Georgia for a good chunk of it, helping Reverend Warnock and John Ossoff flip the Senate. I was down in Georgia for a week knocking on doors, raising money, doing what I could. And the fact that those elections went our way is something I'm incredibly proud of. Before that, I was campaigning for Joe and Kamala. And I had a policy where anything they asked me to do, I did. So I've been doing a number of things over the last number of months. But now that I'm in the field, the people in New York are going to see me every day. And if you want to hear from Andrea and you want to talk to me, I want to hear from you. I want to talk to you. I really did not understand why those comments upset people so much. Cause the way I read it was you were like,

imagine living in an apartment with two kids while they're in school, while you're trying to work. That was a lot of people's reality. So I thought you was just trying to bring people into what people were experiencing. Well, thanks for reading it that way. That's certainly the way I intended it. And the fact is, I think all the time about family circumstances, it's why I'm running for mayor. It's why I ran for president. The fact is, there are so many people suffering in really difficult situations that could be better. And if you look at it right now, if you're a parent like I am, our schools have not been open for months, and it's been really difficult for a lot of folks in very personal ways, trying to figure out how to

educate your kids online, but also how are you going to get to work? You know, it's like there are a lot of families scrambling for child care. Closing schools has really, really tough consequences, particularly for families whose kids were on the verge of falling behind in the first place. I mean, you stamp out a year of their education, like it's going to be very, very difficult to get that back. Now, what will you do better than the current mayor? And what do you see the things that the current mayor is doing that you were saying this is wrong and we need to change these type of things? Well, the current mayor is in a tough situation, but we're going to need bold new leadership to try to get the city on the right track. And we have to be realistic. Where you look up right now, officially, there is a vaccine in the world. There are some people getting vaccinated,

but the city still is in a really, really tough spot because you don't know when tourists are going to feel like they can come back, offices are going to reopen. I mean, tens of thousands of small businesses from the Bronx to Brooklyn to Queens, I mean, I talked to them, and I talked to a restaurant owner who's been in business for 35 years, and they've been hanging on through this entire pandemic, and they're about to call it quits. Can you explain one thing to me?

Oh, of course. When you name the restaurant. And maybe you can help me understand. They don't allow indoor eating, but they allow you to eat outdoor inside a tent. My wife and I have the same conversation because a lot of the stuff outdoors, it's fully enclosed.

So if you're talking about like an air chamber, it'd be one thing if it was outdoors and ventilated. Correct. But the fact is it's January and it's fully enclosed. So if you're talking about like an air chamber, it'd be one thing if it was outdoors and ventilated. Correct. But the fact is it's January and it's cold. So a lot of the time there is no ventilation. You have a warmer. And so you're really dubious as to whether there's been an improvement to the actual air circulation risk.

And the fact is if a restaurant took appropriate precautions in terms of spacing out the booths and you know like having it so every other booth uh is unoccupied it's probably an equivalent situation to a lot of the the makeshift outdoor stuff that is being allowed right now and this is the heartbreaking part about what's going on in new york right now these restaurant owners are working harder for less you know like like i talked to a hairdresser in brooklyn harder for less. You know, like I talked to a hairdresser in Brooklyn, harder for less. Like everyone's working harder for less, like trying to squeeze more business out of depleted customer base and the city's regulations that made it really, really tough. What are some things that you plan to do in order to get people to come back to New York? We've heard people saying

New York is dead. Like you said, all these businesses have to shut down. How do you get people to come back to New York and how long do you think it'll take for us to thrive? We have to make New York City the fastest post-COVID comeback city in the country, in the world. And the question is, how do you do that? And I think New York City can actually be a catalyst for people adopting a vaccine. And I know the black community in particular has struggled with vaccination and healthcare institutions on multiple levels. So there's like a massive bridge of trust that needs to somehow get reconstituted.

But part of it is that this vaccine is the necessary step to getting New York City back to where we want it to be, Angela. And it's not gonna happen by itself. Like one of the things I keep projecting forward for myself is let's say we get to be, Angela. And it's not going to happen by itself. Like one of the things I keep projecting forward for myself is let's say we get to 30, 40, 50% vaccination. Does that mean that Broadway reopens and you can go to a Knicks game and the restaurants and bars reopen? It's like, it's totally unclear. So one of the things that we're going to have to do is

we're going to have to make it so that New York City becomes the place to be as we recover from COVID. And the way we can do that is going to be that you have an app on your phone. You can think of it as like a New York City app or a passport. And the only piece of information on this app is that you've been vaccinated. And then you can go wherever you want and just be like, I've been vaccinated. And then you can go to that restaurant. It can be open full force. Like you can go to concerts.

You can go to shows. You can go to movie theaters. Like that's the kind of thing that New York City has to lead on because there are a lot of folks that right now are on the fence about when they're going to get vaccinated. We actually have to give them a reason to get vaccinated. And that will speed up our recovery in a really big way. All right, we got more with Andrew Yang.

When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's EJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Andrew Yang. What were your thoughts on what happened on Capitol Hill and Donald Trump? What were your thoughts and what do you think should happen?

If a guy sends a mob to your house and it kills people, that has to be over whatever line you draw. And for people who say, look, who cares? He's going to be out of office in a week anyway. There are really serious consequences to being successfully impeached. For example, he doesn't get Secret Service forever. He doesn't get know presidential pension he can't run for office again like there are a lot of real pluses to impeaching him but it was a nightmare what happened in the capitol i mean we all saw it and i'm sure if you were black and watching that you were like how the heck are these guys doing this without getting shot what should happen to the police that were there taking selfies and moving barricades out of the way and letting people in i mean any of those

guys need to go immediately. And when I say go, I mean, like, I'm not even sure firing is, like, where you'd stop. A bunch of those guys have lost their jobs already, which is the bare minimum. And, you know, shout out to Eugene Goodman, the black cop, who was a freaking hero. Did you all see that video? We did. Yeah, absolutely. What a hero. I hope he gets Presidential Medal of Freedom and all the recognition he deserves.

He should have shot somebody. I want to ask you a question. If that was, say, Al Qaeda instead of Al Cracker, as I call him, how fast would that country have been bombed? I would say, in short, it would have been any other group. Conservatives would be calling for martial law right now or armed retaliation right now but because it was their people they're they're still trying to figure out what their response is going to be but i'm optimistic that republicans are going to turn on trump because like no you're going on for way too no genuinely really in part and you know they just lost georgia in part because of trump like i think if there's going to be a time where republicans show some

backbone in principle now it's going to be the time. I want some Democrats to show some backbone too and start talking about pressing charges on Donald Trump, like actually getting him locked up on top of the impeachment and everything else. I think that stuff's going to be real for a while. And one of the reasons why impeachment is very, very helpful is that he can't pardon anyone. I mean, that pardoning power, holy crap. Like I told you all, if I became president, I was going to pardon everyone who was in jail for a nonviolent drug-related offense

because I was like, they shouldn't be in jail. Like, pardon a bunch of folks who shouldn't be in jail. And instead, Trump has followed the playbook of pardoning a bunch of corrupt people that helped him. Yang, how could universal basic income work in New York? I'm so glad you asked, Charlemagne. We are going to be rolling out the biggest guaranteed minimum income program

in the history of the United States right here in New York City. And New York City is home to a lot of people. There are a lot of people who are in what's called extreme poverty in New York City, about half a million. And what we're going to say is, look, we need to lift people out of extreme poverty and the city will save money on this because of what I just described, where if you fall into homelessness, into the shelter system, into our criminal justice system, you wind up

costing the city tens of thousands of dollars a year easily. And so if we put a bit of money into your hands so that you're able to stay in your home, stay in a situation that's positive for you, that's actually good for us. So we're going to commit $1 billion a year to the poorest half a million New York City residents to lift everyone out of extreme poverty. And you all know, like, you know, my organization gave a million dollars to people in the Bronx. I'm back with the B. I'm back with the billion.

Like that million was a drop in the bucket and I knew it at the time. Like I was proud because, you know, like giving people a million bucks is a good feeling. You know what's gonna be an even better feeling? Giving a billion dollars a year and we can do it. Even in our current crisis state, New York city's budget

it's like 89 billion dollars like this will pay for itself and we're going to demonstrate to the country and to the world that investing in people is the right way to invest let me be clear on this it's not going to be a thousand dollars to every new yorker but it'll be a billion dollars to the to you said the poorest New Yorkers, the poorest half a million New Yorkers. That's right. Okay. And so it would be a thousand dollars a month. How would y'all do that? Well, what we do is we go in and we're going to work with a New York city ID, um, which you can get a New York city ID, essentially regardless of your circumstances. And we're going to tie it to some of the existing city programs that are in place to help people, you know, with food stamps and other benefits.

And we're going to look at their situation and say, look, if you're below a certain level, we're going to cash you up. And so we've looked at the numbers and said there are about a half a million New Yorkers who are in extreme poverty that we can cash up out of extreme poverty. And if we do that, then that money, where's that money going to go? It's going to go right to keeping them in their home, to food, to, you know, daycare, to local bodegas, to some of the restaurants and businesses we want to reopen. So this is an investment in New York City itself. What about the NYPD? NYPD had a $6 billion budget.

And that's where a lot of the conversation about defunding the police came. What are you going to do to hold police officers accountable? Now, I was really inspired by a project in Brooklyn where like the local official Latrice Walker, but she brought out a bunch of community organizations to intervene in like a really high crime area in Brooklyn. And they had 0911 calls for the period,

except for one person who dialed it by mistake. So what Latrice is demonstrating is that we can invest in different ways in our communities that can help reduce crime, that can help make people safer, that don't involve police showing up every time. And Latrice actually showed me, like had like the opposite story,

and this is what inspired her to do what she did, where she said that she saw a young black man get shot in the same neighborhood because they thought he'd stolen something. And it just made me think, it's like, do you really need to send police officers for any time there's an issue that can elevate and accelerate that conflict as opposed to de-escalate it and diffuse it. So that's where my mind is as to how the city should be investing. You know, they did shift a billion dollars from the NYPD, you know, to other things. But would you do more than that? Would you do more than a billion? I think that's what we need to be looking at. We spent hundreds of millions of dollars in civil fines, settling lawsuits against officers. Talk about the shittiest way to spend city money you can think of.

You're actually like spending money on lawsuits for cops that did something that, you know, injured someone or like abused someone's civil rights. That money could be going to people, to schools, to helping get some of these restaurants and bars open. So it's not even just the $6 billion that you see directly in the budget. Now, you know, police unions aren't going to like this rhetoric coming from you. How can you win New York without the support of police and police unions? I was in the Bronx the other day, and I talked to two cops who were there. And one cop was a black guy. And then his partner at the subway was a Latino woman. At least I think

she was Latino. You know, like she was, she could have been Latino. And so like we, you know, we had a convo. And I think that there are a lot of cops that are like that, where, you know, that they're like there to serve and protect. There's something wrong with the NYPD culture, but I think that that culture does not extend all the way down to like every cop who's there trying to do their job every day. So we need to try and help cops that want to do their job do their job in a way that makes us safer and more secure. But we need to address the abuses in the system.

And I think most police officers would recognize that that's where most New Yorkers are that that's where most new yorkers are and that's where we need to go we don't move we got more with andrew yang when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with andrew yang charlamagne you know i'm happy you're running for new york yang but i can't help but think that um i remember you said if you didn't get offered something worthwhile in the biden administration you would run for new york so i'm gonna assume you didn't get offered anything

worthwhile or anything at all oh wow you're really uh straight to the point i mean i appreciate it i was in talks with the biden administration you know i have a lot of friends there i think that's actually gonna help me as mayor too because i've got call friends on capitol hill i can call and say look your new york's been sending tens of billions of dollars more to the feds than it's been getting back. And we need to get some of that money back in our time of need. Investing in New York City will speed up the nation's recovery. So I've got a lot of friends on Capitol Hill. But the truth is, Charlamagne, I ended those conversations because I saw that my city needed me. Like the conversations were ongoing. And then I said, look, sorry, guys,

I appreciate all the work that you put in to figuring out where I fit in the administration, but I've got another mission now. And so that's the way that situation got resolved. And I am pumped because this is where I'm meant to be. I'm ready to get to work. I'm ready to start solving some of the problems that you all are living and seeing every day.

The people that are listening to this are living and seeing. I'm living and seeing it too. Like, you know, we can all see it around us. And if we don't have the right leadership, the city we love may not come back the way we need it to. What did Biden offer you? Was it a new position or something already there? I mean, we talked about a bunch of things. I was talking to them about something tech-facing and tech- related. I've got some friends who are heading to the administration

to try and untangle. And so this goes back to your Capitol Hill question. A lot of the stuff that's driven the conspiracy theories, QAnon phenomenon, and the rest of it is social media. But we have to recognize that social media is dramatically increasing the level of energy that's going to some really, really nasty and racist stuff. And so I was talking to the administration about trying to help in that direction, because I think that's an existential threat moving forward. And unfortunately, most folks in Washington are kind of behind on technology. So I thought I could help on that level. You know, yeah, I got one more question. And because it's social media related. How do you feel about Trump being banned from all these social media platforms? Is that a threat to free speech or private companies can do what they want?

It's so interesting, man. I mean, you know, it's similar to impeachment where, like, if you incite a riot that takes multiple lives, then there needs to be action taken. And I don't know about the rest of you, but not having Trump on social media, it feels like a cloud is lifted or like a voice has gone, you know what I mean? It's like, part of me is like, oh, this could have happened months ago. And like, you know, everyone's mental health would have been better. So on that level, like I'm for this move, but to your bigger point, should we have a different process in terms of deciding who gets their account, cancel them for what? Yes. Some of the tech companies are even raising their hands being like, hey, guys, I'm not sure that you want us to decide all of this stuff.

So maybe we should get together and figure out like, you know, a different way to decide these things. But our legislators in DC, instead of being like, oh yeah, we should come together and like, you know, develop a consortium that's with tech, government, media, nonprofits, some like watchdog groups and like develop a consortium of standards. Instead, our politicians are just grandstanding, you know, making some like 60 second speeches and then everyone goes home and goes on with their lives. Like our government needs to get much more in the weeds in terms of how these companies are making decisions. And some of the companies are even down because they're looking at this being like,

look, like, you know, of course we're going to have trouble drawing these lines. Yeah, because I've been paying attention, like even, I'm sorry, but even on my Instagram, like I posted the video of the young man who kept getting called the N-word and he beat the white guy up. And I posted the video of the young man who kept getting called the N-word and he he beat the white guy up. And I posted another video of Richard Barnett sitting in Nancy Pelosi's office with his feet on the desk. And it was saying he's from Arkansas. He's been arrested.

Like that's literally all it was. And Instagram and Facebook flagged those and took those down. Really? Yeah. So I'm like, how is this inappropriate? How am I? It's not hate speech. That's it. That's exactly the kind of line drawing issue you're going to run into. And right now we can tell the tech companies are going to be drawing the line very, very aggressively or, you know, like assertively. All right. Well, I have a question. Charlamagne had given donkey of the day to Howard University. They named an Asian woman, woman renren you as the editor-in-chief of howard magazine and obviously howard is a historically black college university hbcu so i want to know what your thoughts are on something like that wow i have not seen this

story angela like it's highly interesting um you know to to me uh the folks themselves like have a sense of the individuals involved, you know, so if they chose this person, you have to assume that, like, they know something about either the person or the nature of the role or whatnot, so from the outside looking in, like, you know, it's a surprising decision, but you have to look at the actual role and who the people are in my mind. Andrew Yang, we appreciate you for joining us, and good luck, and I'm sure you'll be keeping up with us and letting us know what's going on. I'll be back anytime you all will have me let's fight for the city.

Hey, Breakfast Club. Good morning. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, this was truly sad news for me. It's one of my favorite shows. Season 5 will be its last, according to Issa Rae. She posted, very excited to film our fifth and final season.

We couldn't have told a complete story without the tremendous support of our audience and the faith of HBO. See y'all soon. Hashtag Insecure HBO. That's about right, though. Five seasons. That's a great run. Like, The Wire was five seasons. I think Sopranos was like five or six seasons.

Like, Issa Rae won, bro. Yeah, but is it over? Are y'all ready to let it go? I'll miss the show. You know what I mean? Or is it more to tell? They could definitely do a movie just like Sex and the City did when that came to an end. Maybe they'll do more at some point.

But she said it was always the plan to have the story told through five seasons. But we couldn't have made it this far without the tremendous support of our audience. So I guess from the beginning, they knew it would be five seasons. Listen, I'm happy Issa Rae exists. Issa is a young icon. And I'm glad she's taking a... I'm just glad she won with InstaKill. She won. She won. She did.

Now, Issa Rae also has launched her online class for creators, and that's on Masterclass. That's the e-learning company. They offer all kinds of celebrity-led courses, and you pay a $180 annual membership, then you have access to more than 100 classes. So she's doing a series of 14 video lessons for everybody that wants to be a writer, producer. Here's what she said about her

masterclass. I'm going to share with you all of my struggles and show you step by step how I made the transition from the internet to television and film. In this class, I will teach you how to collaborate with other people, how to build characters, how to structure a pilot, and how to get your stories out there. You have to know where you want to start. I'm going to give you my blueprint for how I wrote my pilot using four categories. Character setup, conflict, setting up your series,

and why today, that dreaded network question. That's dope. She's taking people back to the roots of how she started, which is on YouTube with Awkward Black Girl. And it gives people... Yeah, she did two seasons of that on YouTube, and then she managed to pitch Insecure. Yeah, and it gives people a new blueprint on how to do things.

You know what I mean? And she's definitely a leader of the new school for this era of moguls. Salute to Issa Rae. She's very inspiring. She got her lane, and she stays in it, and she wins. And she's a Capriculs. Salute to Issa Rae. She's very inspiring. She got her lane and she stays in it and she wins. And she's a Capricorn. Shout out to Issa Rae. And another star from Insecure, Yvonne Orji, has big news.

Now she has her own autobiographical series at Disney+. So congratulations to her. She's writing the series. Oprah and David Oyelowo are going to be executive producing. And she posted, we going out with a bang, y'all. Thanks for rocking with us. So congratulations to Yvonne Orji.

Salute to Yvonne. You know why this is dope? Because she's been pitching that show for a long, long, long, long, long, long, long time. Like a long time. And I always tell people, man, all it takes is one yes. You might get several no's. You might get several years of no's. But all it takes is that one

yes. One person understands. That's it. That's it. So salute to Yvonne Orji. She's dope too. Yes. Yeah, she has her book coming out too. And I remember her saying that it took so long for her to write the book, but she did it herself. And she's writing this series herself too. So that's

even more work. Insecure launched all of them. writing this series herself, too. So, that's even more work. Insecure launched all of them. They won Issa, Yvonne, Amanda. I see the other young lady, too, in films and stuff now. Why can't I remember her name, though? But they won. All right. Well, that is your rumor report.

All right. Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to? Hold on. Oh, Natasha Rothwell. That's her name. Natasha Rothwell. I'm giving Donkey of the Day to Christina Rezitar. She's a teacher from Florida. And I'm going to be honest

with you. I'm a little torn about this one, man, because I kind of feel her. I kind of understand where she was coming from. But we'll talk about it for after the hour. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.

Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. The Breakfast Club, bitchy.

Donkey of the Day with Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Yes, Donkey of the Day for Thursday, January 14th goes to a school teacher in Largo, Florida named Christina Resitar. Did I pronounce her name right? Let me hear it. Christine Resitar. Christine Resitar. Christine Rezter. Christine Rezter. Okay?

Rezter. What does your Uncle Sharla always say about Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Every single day they prove me right. Florida is such an interesting place because I'm listening to this story that I'm about to tell y'all. And it's one of those things that makes sense but makes no sense at the same time see christina rest here is a 51 year old teacher salute to all the teachers out there dropping the clues bombs for all the teachers out there you all hold a special place in my heart because my mother is a school teacher she's been a school teacher in south carolina for damn near 40 years

i think she's retired now i'm not sure i assume you're retired she don't have to work but she chooses to but school teachers have it hard. Okay. Most essential, unappreciated public servants in our community. These are the people you trust with your kids. Okay. Not just when it comes to teaching them, but physically being with them. Well, you know, before COVID.

Now it's a lot of Zoom action, which is equally as frustrating for the kids and teachers. I hate it. I watch my 12-year-old and 5-year-old in Zoom class. I feel like they are being robbed, okay, of a great experience. My daughter is in seventh grade, so half of her sixth grade year, and now her seventh grade year is partially in school, sitting in one class for a couple hours. Rest is on Zoom, all right?

Five-year-old is on Zoom. You know how hard it is to keep a five-year-old focused on school via Zoom? All I hear is the teacher just calling all the different kids' names. Hey, are you paying attention? Hey, are you paying attention? No, they're five. They're not. Okay? All right? God bless teachers. If it was up to me, y'all would be making high six figures a year, and you would have the best

health care and benefits that Canada has to offer. All right? Forget America's health care system. We get you some of that good old-fashioned Canadian health care. And this teacher, Christina of that good old-fashioned Canadian health care. And this teacher, Christina, that's what she cares about, her health. See, Christina has been a teacher for 21 years, 18 of them at Largo High School. We all know the challenges that older people are having with coronavirus. It's a struggle.

These teachers in the classroom with these kids, they are at high risk. Can you imagine the anxiety teachers have trying to navigate their way through wanting to do their jobs, loving what they do, but still wanting to just stay alive, stay healthy? A lot of pressure. That's why it's rules to this COVID thing. That's why it's back, back, give me six feet, okay? That's why it's wear a mask. But what do you do when you're a teacher and you have students in your class who refuse to do the simple things like wear their mask properly. Well, Christina had a solution, and it's a Florida solution, and that Florida solution landed her

in jail. Let's go to WTSP CBS 10 for the report, please. A teacher at Largo High School has been arrested for intentionally spraying a child with a disinfectant spray for not wearing masks properly. The arrest affidavit shows it was caught on surveillance video. Christine Rezter worked as an exceptional student education teacher. She now faces a child abuse charge. Now, I don't know if it was Lysol 409, Purell, Yulene. I don't know what spray she used, but let me play white devil's advocate for one second, okay? On the can of Lysol, I'm holding one right here in my hand, under the directions for use, it says, and I quote, to deodorize, spray on surfaces as needed.

To sanitize, let stand for 30 seconds, then allow to air dry. To disinfect, let stand for 10 minutes, then allow to air dry. I don't know what any of that means because I'm stuck on the spray on surfaces as needed. Is your body not a surface? Answer the question. Is it not a surface? And Christina allegedly sprayed the aerosol disinfectant into the path.

This is the path. Into the path of their faces and bodies. So not on them, okay? Just in the room in their path. You walk through the mist. You know, I'm really torn on this story. First of all, I wouldn't want anyone doing that to my kids because you don't have the license to do anything like that to my kid. That's number one. But I also understand what Christina's neighbor, Teresa said. Teachers have to be under a lot of

pressure right now with the virus. Okay. The more I tell this story, the more I'm feeling like maybe she shouldn't get donkier today. Okay? Nobody really truly understands this coronavirus thing. We are all trying to figure it out. We are all doing the best we can. Okay? You don't want to wear your mask? Fine.

All right? In any other place other than Florida and maybe Georgia, they just simply ask you to leave the venue that you're in. This teacher, Christina, didn't want to get the kids removed, so she sprayed them with disinfectant, okay? Or sprayed disinfectant at them, okay? Once again, is skin not a surface? Am I missing something? Hold on.

Okay, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I just saw something here. It says, precautionary statements. There's hazards to humans and domestic animals. It says caution causes moderate eye irritation. Do not spray an eyes on skin or clothing. Okay.

I think I might have to challenge my own call here. All right. The original ruling on the field stands. Christina, the more I read this caution stuff, you might have could have killed these kids, all right? You could have killed them. You sprayed disinfectant in the path of their face and bodies. It says right here, first aid.

If in eyes, hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15, 20 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Oh, my God. Listen, yeah. And you got to call the Poison Control Center, our doctor for treatment. Did y'all know that? No. You got to call the Poison Control Center, our doctor for treatment.

Oh, my God. Now I see why you was arrested. Disinfectant spray is a weapon. See, that's why we got to hear both sides. Okay. Don't hear the day we got to hear both sides. Okay. Donkey of the Day stands. These kids are victims. We actually reached out to one of the kids from Largo High School

that Christina sprayed in the face with this disinfectant, and they had this to say. I cannot see. I'm legally blind. Case closed. Case closed. Please give Christina Restart the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.

You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. But the more I look at this can on the front, it does say kills cold and flu viruses. Where do the cold and flu viruses live? I know. I could barely breathe because you sprayed so much damn Lysol in here, man. No, no.

Don't you get no ideas. Trying to get me arrested. Right? Sprayed so much Lysol. I could barely breathe. First of all, if I was going to spray you, I'd spray you in the face like a real G. All right? Yo, you kinky, man.

What are you talking about? You kinky, man. you kinky, man. What are you talking about? You kinky, man. You kinky, man. How you turn that into kinky? That crossed the line right there, man. This guy is crazy, bro. You crossed the line. If Lysol does something for your libido,

something wrong with you, kinky. No, you crossed the line right there. Jesus Christ. All right, up next, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Call up now for Ask Ye. Keep it real. Morning, everybody. It's D.J., Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye. Hello, who's this? Naziri.

Tell Charlamagne it's Naziri Tha Guy, too. Peace, Lord. Peace, King. How are you, Lord? Man, what's up, Charlamagne it's Naziri to God, too. Peace, Lord. Peace, King. How are you, Lord? Man, what's up, Charlamagne? How you doing, man? I'm blessed black and highly favored, King. Let's see how kingly you are today.

What's your question for you, brother? Okay, so check this out. So I just got with this new girl. We've been together for like a month and a half, right? And she wants to move me to Florida. She's getting ready to move to Florida. But my ex is like trying to get back with me and I'm conflicted on what should I do like I really like my ex I ain't gonna lie this new girl she

cool she look different than what I'm used to some like conflicted on how I should go about it so why did you and your ex break up well we was just at that time we was just on to that we, we was just on two different pages. She was working a lot, and then, you know, at the time, I wasn't working. So, you know, we just didn't really get to spend a lot of time together, and I felt like, you know what I'm saying, it just wasn't going the way it was supposed to go. So I kind of fell back, and then it just kind of dispersed that way. You know, i will say

it's hard to move on with somebody else if you're not over your ex uh-huh and did you want to move to florida are you really after a month and a half considering moving i mean yeah one thing okay so i live in a super small town right so i'm ready to i've been wanting to leave here forever so now that i got the opportunity to go i want to go but it's like damn man i don't i don't know if if after a month and a half like we won't be moving for like another month like a month another month and a half so it'll be like march the beginning of march moving so i'm like maybe i could build be ready to go by the end but i'm still i don't know that just sounds really too soon uh here's my suggestion because moving on when you're not over your ex is not going to be good.

You're still going to be communicating with her and thinking about her. It might make it even worse. I also don't think you should just up and move to Florida with somebody that you just started dating a month and a half ago. And you have the opportunity to move. You don't have to date somebody to move. You can always do what you decide to do. So I think you should slow it down. Take your time.

If you decide to move later and you and this new girl, actually really things are going well because you can always go out there, see her, visit, and see how you're feeling. But I don't think you should commit to moving if you're not sure with her. Yeah, I mean, I guess you're right. I don't know. I just know I want to get out of this damn town so bad. And you can.

You don't got to date somebody in order to move. You know that. It can be an inspiration for you. Yeah, I know that. But, okay, so, like, my new girl, she got a lot of money. Oh, so you about to be a sugar baby. I mean, yeah, because she's, like, 12 years older than me. You know, I'm 33.

She's 45. So she ready to retire. Like, she going to Florida buying her house on the beach. And she, like, I want to take you with me. You know, I'm 33, she's 45, so she's ready to retire. Like, she's going to Florida buying her house on the beach, and she's like, I want to take you with me. So you really just like her because she's taking care of you? No, because she don't take care of me. I don't ask her for nothing.

You know what I'm saying? And she's like, she don't really do too much for me, but like, this is just what she's been talking about the past couple weeks. We were friends for like a month and a half before we started dating maybe two months before we started dating so it was like okay and she was always telling me she was gonna move to florida we we really didn't plan on dating it kind of happened like slowly but surely and then once nazari my advice to you is continue to date until you decide what you want to do.

Don't make a huge decision like moving in with this woman until you know that that's who you want to be with. Because you might get back with your ex. You might not. You're not obligated to anybody right now. But just make that decision for yourself so that you're not stuck somewhere where you wish you were somewhere else. That's the worst feeling. Yeah, that's true. Man, I'm so glad I got to get through to y'all.

I try to call. I work usually. I'm usually at work right now, but I didn't have to work today. So I'm so glad I got to get through to y'all. I try to call. I work usually. I'm usually at work right now, but I didn't have to work today. So I'm like, I'm going to try to call the breakfast club. Pretty soon you won't have to work at all once you move. Yeah, right. Exactly. You know, I usually listen to y'all a day late. So I listen

to y'all on my app. So I listen to y'all a day late because I'll start later than when I work. So I listen always listen to the next show the next day. So I'm like, man, I got to call me, and I got to talk to you today. Hopefully I can get through, and I'm glad I've made it. All right. You can date her, though.

You can go out there. You can visit and see how you feel, but don't make that huge commitment where now you got to find another place to move to, you know, and went to Florida. Just take your time, sir. Okay. Hey, Charlamagne, I need a book.

I was a telemarketer. I was a telemarketer. I used to have to keep people on hold for a long time. A long, long time. I can't tell. I was a great telemarketer. I cannot tell. I can't tell. I was a great teller marketer. I cannot tell. I was number one.

You're the person that take one no and hang up. No, no, no. Hi, hi. This is Sean from Pelco. Hey, is there a baby crying in the background? I was working at a BMG. Wouldn't you like to save some money for that baby for college? Your name is Rashawn, not Sean.

Rashawn wouldn't work back then. I had to say Sean. This is Lenard McKelvey. I'm calling you with an incredible offer. Do you like music? Okay, I got 10 CDs for you for a penny. All you got to do is pay the shipping and handling, $72.93. I got home heating fuel for you.

But anyway, Ask Ye. Go on up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Here's some real advice with Angela Ye. It's Ask Ye. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Crystal from Jersey. Hey, Crystal from Jersey. What's your question for Yee? Okay, Yee. So, okay, I'm a lesbian, right?

So I work with this beautiful young lady, and we've been talking via WhatsApp for quite a while. And I wanted to know, like, I'm, like, afraid to get, like, shut down by her, but, like, should I try to ask her out? Like, I'm really nervous even talking about it. But, yeah, she's, like, amazing. We're always texting, and, you know, she's always giving me back the same kind of energy. But, you know, it's like work, so it's kind of like, I know you're not supposed to, but it's like, come on.

Well, so she's a lesbian also. Yeah. Okay, and what are the rules when it comes to dating coworkers at your job? Is there any type of restrictions? I mean, I don't give a shit about what they feel, about how they feel when it comes to dating co-workers at your job? Is there any type of restrictions? I mean, I don't give a shit about what they feel, about how they feel when it comes to that, but it's just the static that, I don't know, if she decides to say, you know, nah, I'm good, it'll be like you have to look at that person every day

knowing that, okay. Well, have y'all ever hung out? Some of the things might be awkward. Have y'all ever hung out outside of work? I mean, no. Because I really haven't, like, tried to pursue it that kind of, like, I'm just hella nervous sometimes when I be talking to her. So I kind of just, you know, play regular.

But I still get the vibes from her. Like, I'll, like, go in a little bit, but not so much. You know what I'm saying? I don't know if I'm making any sense. So why don't you suggest, instead of acting like it's a date, that y'all do something together. It doesn't have to be a date, just to see how the vibes are in person, because it's always different, and that's when you can really tell.

I got you. Yeah, I'm going to be hella nervous. Because if I like somebody, I give off that, yo, I like you energy. You get what I'm saying? I'm not aggressive, at least I try going to be hella nervous. Like, because if I like somebody, like, I give off that, yo, I like you energy. You get what I'm saying? I'm not aggressive, at least I try not to be. But you know that I'm feeling you. Like, you'll know it. Like, just straight up.

Like, if y'all are talking about food or something, you could suggest a restaurant. What city are you in? Are things open? I'm in New Jersey. I mean, things are things open um in new jersey i mean things are fairly fairly open i mean it's it's okay but i'm like a i'm like a damn yo i'm just nervous talking about you have no idea but um yeah yeah you just have to be careful her vibes are amazing yeah i know i know trust me her vibes are amazing and it's like i don't want that if she wanted it to be like

a friendship or whatever, like I would know that we're friends just to know that I can like talk to her, you know, like all the time even though she might not like me like that. Like I don't want things to get awkward. That's what I'm trying to avoid really. Well, that's how some of the best relationships start. They start

off as friendships. So that's why I do feel like y'all need to hang out in person just to really get the vibe. It's one thing for you guys to be talking via WhatsApp or however y'all are communicating with each other. But it's a whole nother thing when y'all see each other in person. And that's when you'll determine, is this a friendship thing or can we take this to another level? But just don't put any pressure on it. Just suggest maybe go and get to grab something to eat, or maybe you need to go pick something up at a store.

Like, oh, yeah, you want to meet me? I could use some help picking this out. And then you guys figure it out from there. I'm excited. Thank you so much, Yee. Appreciate you. All right. Good luck.

All right. Thanks a lot. Bye. All right. Well, ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice. Now, E.E., you got rumors on the way? Right.

Well, we are going to be talking about Dr. Dre and his estranged wife, Nicole. She has some other allegations about him threatening her with a gun. All right. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's The Breakfast Club. Please tell me to don't work this out. We good. We good. Did morning. It's The Breakfast Club. Please tell me the dope work.

We good. We good. Did the dope work? Did y'all hear that? This guy is crazy. Yo, you crazy. What is wrong with you, man? That's y'all fault.

I'm rapping. I'm doing, I'm singing rap lyrics. Y'all ain't telling me what's going on. What rap lyric is that? The one you was just playing on Warwick. That was a freestyle, man. That was not no freestyle. First of all, John, you shut up.

Could somebody be in my comments and they keep calling you a pooter? What does that mean? It means bitch. You can't say that either. Oh, man. That was not no freestyle. First of all, Drom, you shut up, because somebody be in my comments and they keep calling you a pooter. What does that mean? It means bitch. You can't say that either. Oh, well, that's what they keep calling Drom. You know what? Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Dr. Dre. This guy. The rumor report.

It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Dr. Dre's estranged wife, Nicole Young, is saying that he held a gun to her head on two separate occasions in the past. In 2000 and again in 2001, she also said that he punched her face twice on two separate occasions. And she described one instance where she said he kicked down the door to a room where she had been hiding from his rage in 2016 she's also accusing him of verbal and emotional abuse which she said decimated my personhood to the extent that i currently suffer from ptsd yikes so yes and he's still in intensive care and he has agreed to pay two million dollars to Nicole Young for temporary spousal support. Okay.

Yikes. When you're accused of stuff like that, how do you prove it's not true? I think it's more like you have to prove it is on her behalf for Nicole Young. I think you have to, it's like how do you prove it is true also? Yeah, of course. But I'm saying if you're the lawyer on the other side, like how do you prove that it's

not true? That's all I'm saying. I'm like, yikes. What do you do in a situation like that? I think you just try to create enough doubt that people could believe that it's not possible. Because I think it's more of you have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. So I don't know how this is going to end up. But

unless they have like messages or correspondence with people when it happened or a picture, I don't know how you prove that. All right. Bobby Shmurda's mother has confirmed that he is set to be released next month. So she posted, and she's very excited. She said, I can't wait to hug my child. It had been almost a year.

Anxiety is getting the best of me. She also made him her man crush Monday. Okay. Can't wait to get that brother back. Yeah, man. He served his time already. He did it. He paid his debt to society. Now let that brother get

back and, you know, continue his life. That's right. You know? All right. Wendy Williams. Her movie is premiering on January 30th, if you guys are excited for that. So that's going to be on Lifetime. And she talks about a lot of her different struggles.

It'll revisit some of her toughest times, her substance abuse problems, her divorce. And that film will also cover the never before told story of date rape. And that was at the hands of a late R&B singer, Sherrick, an artist from the 80s. And she discusses meeting him during an interview. She said he flipped the interview around to where he was interviewing me. And she discusses meeting him during an interview. She said he flipped the interview around to where he was interviewing me. And she said, I was just gaga over this man. And he asked me to go to an opening party, an album release party with him that night. And before the party, I was date raped by him. What was his name?

Sherrick, S-H-E-R-R-I-C-K. Okay. He's dead now, right? Yeah. Yes. He's no longer here. So she also says that she was date raped in college as well. All right.

So that's going to be January 30th on Lifetime. She also says that she has no regrets about her relationship with Kevin. She said, the life that I'm living right now is my best life, and I have no guilt about saying that. I don't regret meeting Kevin. I don't regret falling in love. I don't regret staying with him for all 25 years, 21 of them

married. I like who I am, so I have no regret. Yeah, I mean, can you even regret a situation like that? Like, it happened. Like, if you live with regret, you're going to just cause yourself a whole bunch of unnecessary anxiety and then, you know, just problems and stress for no reason. Like, that was your life.

It happened. You got to keep moving. Alright, that was your life. It happened. You got to keep moving. All right. Now, speaking of whether or not people have regrets, Donald Trump has told his aides not to pay Rudy Giuliani because he is upset with him. He was impeached, of course, for the second time yesterday. And they also, Giuliani is one of the peoples who, his relationship with the president has become frayed.

They said he was trying to charge $20,000 a day for his work fighting the election results. Giuliani. $20,000 a day? $20,000. Yeah, that's crazy. $20,000 a day. Giuliani, by the way, is denying that figure. I mean, that number had to be high, though.

Lawyers charge a lot of money. $20,000 a day? To fight an election case? Yeah. How much do you think that costs? I'm sure that costs like seven, eight, maybe eight figures. I'd say about seven, though. High seven figures.

Had to be. Now, two unnamed officials said that Trump told aides not to pay Giuliani because he was offended by some of Giuliani's actions. And, you know, Giuliani is the one that really kind of told him he should be disputing the election results and encouraged Donald Trump to believe in conspiracy theories, challenging the integrity of the 2020 U.S. election. So Giuliani has been criticized for a lot of that. And, you know, they're trying to disbar him in New York. Rudy Giuliani ruined his whole legacy attaching himself to Donald Trump. I mean, not saying he had the greatest legacy, but he did have a legacy for

turning New York around at a point, right? He did, yeah. He went against the mob and mafia. Went against Gotti, of course. He turned New York around. He took all those XXX and sex stores that was up and down on 42nd Street. He got them all. He cleaned it up a lot. Had a great reputation,

a pretty good reputation, and ruined it attaching himself to Donald Trump. Sure did. And now he ain't even getting paid. Everything that he allegedly fought for, it seems like he just turned and went. It's insane. Mm-hmm.

All right, and everybody that's excited about this BMF upcoming Starz original series that 50 Cent is doing, you can be even more excited because Big Meech's son is actually going to make his acting debut. He's going to play his dad. That's dope. So, Little Meech is going to be playing his dad. Yes. 50 Cent should have asked Donald Trump to pardon Big Meech. I really feel like Donald Trump would have done that.

Or at least put Meech on the list like he put Wayne and Kodak Black. I think if 50 would have asked him. I just think Trump is that much of a groupie that if 50 would have asked him that, he might have considered it. Well, they're going to start filming that in Atlanta and in Detroit this month. And as you know, Cash Doll is also in that, too. So I'm really excited to see her get her acting on again.

All right. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Shout out to Revolt. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix. Happy birthday to LL Cool J and Slick Rick.

Wow. Hip hop legend. That's an understatement. Legends is not strong enough for both those individuals. We're going to get some of their music on, and tomorrow we'll do a full mix, but we'll get some of their joints on. Happy Birthday to those legends.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. I think tomorrow guys

we should do a topic right if you're we already know what you want if your co-host is looking up is googling big daddy k's nudes and every nude that we said and every nude that we saw like father mc jim brown he didn't seen all the pictures already. Oh yeah, I saw that. I'm the type person, I don't mind doing research, and I was What made you research Big Daddy K's nudes, bro? Because me and some of the homies was having a conversation about why

certain artists aren't ranked higher when it comes to the top 10 MCs. Let me just put this out there. I wasn't part of that conversation. I'm not one of the homies. You know, we started talking about 80s rappers and why 80s rappers don't get the respect they deserve, like the Rakims, the Big Daddy Kings. And then we got into this whole conversation about how Big Daddy King's career was derailed

because they said people didn't like the Playgirl shoot. So you Googled it to see what it was? I did. I went to go see what the Playgirl shoot was all about. I can see why his career got derailed. I can see why. But I love Big Daddy Kane, though. You know what I mean?

But I can see why at that time people probably had some backlash towards that. Ladies probably loved him, but the street rappers probably, the dudes in the street was like, come on, Kane. Behind the scenes, you said you could see why they call him Big Daddy. That is not what I said. That never happened, okay? But I just, you know, could see why they call him Big Daddy. That is not what I said. That never happened, okay? But I just, you know, that picture is never mind.

I get it, though, because you know what it is? Because Big Daddy Kane is a phenomenal MC. He's dope. One of the most well-rounded rappers of all time. There's not too many people who can check off all the boxes Big Daddy can, because he can even dance. But imagine being in a battle rap. Imagine being in a battle rap after that Playgirl right now. Imagine being in a battle rap

after that Playgirl shoot. You know what I'm saying? He also posed in Madonna's book, Sex. That I didn't see. Madonna and Naomi Campbell. He's in a picture with Madonna and Naomi Campbell and it's very erotic. Put that in your cookies.

Let me see. Pull it up. Nope. I'm not pulling none of that stuff up. I don't want that on my search history. All that stuff exists. I'd get it all on my search history. All that stuff exists. I'd get it all scrubbed off the internet. And then you seen Father MC?

I ain't see all that. Yes, you did, man. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. Treat me like I want to be treated right now and go along with me. I didn't see that. And then Jim Brown? I didn't see that either.

You said you saw it. That's a lie. Goodness gracious. Then Charlamagne said, I feel so much bigger in my relationship in my life right now because those brothers. You know, sometimes, listen, I will say this. 70s penises grew a lot longer than 40, 50.

He was born in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. I think, you know, once we got to like the late 70s, we started to develop a little bit bigger than the previous models. So the brothers back then had smaller... Yeah, the previous models was a little smaller. You know what I mean? This Yukon a little bit bigger. That's all.

Alright, I don't know what we got here. Ye? And Ye, stop sending us this stuff, Ye. Come on. I thought you said you wanted to see Madonna, Naomi Campbell and Big Daddy Kane in her sex book. So I sent it to you. Okay, I'm opening it. Okay, I'm opening it.
