We got front page news. What we talking about? Would you rather talk about the Biden $1.8 trillion American Families Plan first or the new regulations on if you're vaccinated? I don't care. I guess the money. We'll talk about it when we come back. Don't move, it's the Breakfast Club.

We'll be right back. Hey, morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with this $1.8 trillion American Families Plan that Joe Biden has laid out that's supposed to help the nation recover from everything that's been going on. But he wants to make some things permanent right now.

So what is in that American Families Plan? I'll give you some of the things. Helping families afford child care. Investing in the child care workforce so that wages go up to $15 an hour from the typical $12.24 hourly rate. Making community college free. So in this plan, it's a $109 billion plan to make two years of community college free. And the federal government would cover 75% of that. And then the states would expect to cover the other remainder of that. They should throw trade school in there too. Is trade school in there? They do have

a plan for HBCUs and for schools that are just for any type of minority schools. They should make trade school free for anybody who wants to attend. Even if you don't go to college, you can go pick up a trade. Only problem with that is the don't go to college, you can go pick up a trade.

Only problem with that is, you know, well, the government would have to pay because most trade schools are private. So as long as the government would have to pay for that. Yeah, these are public. Yeah, because the ones she's saying are all public schools. Community colleges. They should make some public. I mean, just because, you know, when somebody knows what to do with their hands, when they can do something with their hands, that's a skill that they'll always make money, especially in, you know, any community.

Yeah, I agree. Plumbing. Plumbing, electrician, air conditioning, all of that. Healthcare. Absolutely. I don't know why. Now the party leaders have been trying to get Joe Biden to cancel up to $50,000 of debt, but he said he would support canceling up to $10,000 per borrower, but he believes the

rest of the changes should be made in Congress through legislation. And other things that he's proposing, providing paid family and medical leave. So a limited federal paid family and sick leave measure was included as part of the pandemic rescue package, but he wants to make things like that permanent. So that would be a total of 12 weeks of guaranteed paid parental, family, and personal illness and safe leave by the 10th year of the program, according to a fact sheet. Investing $200 billion in universal preschool. So he wants the federal government to invest that money because right now they do have money that goes toward preschool, but it's nowhere near the amount of money that you would need to really make an

impact for a high quality, full day pre-K. Only eight states enroll more than half of their four year olds. Recruiting more teachers and strengthening the educator workforce. So they want to address teacher shortages and meet an anticipated increase in demand for universal pre-K educators. They want to increase that funding for those educator scholarships and specialty training and raise wages for certain groups and federal programs, more nutrition assistance for children. He wants to invest $25 billion to make sure the summer pandemic EBT is permanent and available to 29 million children who get free and reduced-price meals and also expand the free meals program for children in the highest poverty districts.

So that would mean that an additional 9.3 million children would qualify. Keeping the expanded child tax credit, beefing up Affordable Care Act subsidies permanently, providing more help to pay for child care permanently. And how's he going to do it? Raising the income taxes on the rich. So only about the top 1% of people would be affected. That means that your taxes, your income tax rate would go from 37% up to 39.6%. So I'm sure that's what he'll be addressing tonight during his presidential address to Congress. Yeah. Yes, indeed.

I hope they change the curriculum, too, because that's the most important thing. A lot of these kids, they should be learning tech early. They should be learning real estate early. They should be learning about all the things, banking, balancing an account, financing, investing. We should be teaching our kids these things early. Credit scores. So it's a norm. Yeah, credit scores. So it's a norm and not, oh, I didn't know this. Even everything from, you know, insurance to wills. Like we should be teaching these

teens this early. I mean, all that stuff. He's also going to get rid of breaks for real estate investors, by the way. You know, they have that loophole where you can defer taxing your real estate if you are exchanging it for a property for gains greater than $500,000. They're going to end that. You know,

all that stuff sounds good, especially the early stuff about jobs and school, but as long as it gets to the people who really need it. A lot of times that stuff don't trickle down to the lower caste systems, but I really hope it gets to the people who really need it. A lot of times that stuff don't trickle down to the lower caste systems, but I really hope it gets to the people who absolutely positively need it. But it has to get approved through Senate, right? And that's probably not going to happen.

Yeah, well, I think the point is trying to make things permanent because this is also adding on to the plan that they had during the pandemic, so they want to make some of those things permanent. I mean, that's why he's addressing Congress tonight. He's basically going to tell Congress this is what you need do, and this is why you need to do it. All right. Well, that is front page news. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're man or black.

Yo, this is DJ Rapper Unique. How are you? What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Yo, I feel like we got duped, man, by Mr. Joe Bada himself. Because he was making it seem like he would help us out with all these student loans and yada yada. But once it got in office, you know, I feel like he just didn't make it happen like how he should have. It was almost like a promotion for his campaign.

You know what I'm saying? It's only been 100 days. We still have time to get things done. But we're only going to get things done if we apply pressure. Which we have to do. Don't forget the midterm elections is in 2022 and the presidential election is in 2024. And right now, Democrats aren't doing anything to position themselves to be in good standing for either one of those elections. Yeah, don't act like it's over.

You got to still keep on making sure you apply that pressure. It's not like, well, it didn't get done. He promised it. Let's keep it moving. No, we got to still make things happen. Yeah, absolutely. That's why I'm trying to voice that right now and let that be known. You know what I'm saying? Also, yo,

can I just give a shout out real quick and let people know I have an instrumental album on iTunes and Spotify. Is that cool? Instrumental album you produce?

All right, cool. So my name is DJ Rob Unique. You can follow me on Instagram and I have an instrumental album. It's called Wanda's Instrumentals. It's based off of WandaVision. I just wanted to do some different shit.

It's based off WandaVision? Interesting. Yeah, it's based off of that, but I ran into a little red tape and copyright issue. So I had to be creative and pull back. I had to pull off the skits and little samples and stuff for for there so but i just wanted to be different and do something you know i put it out myself and i'm going through a lot of personal issues but it was something that i personally just wanted to do and i was like yo i feel proud of myself and not having to wait for anybody

and taking that initiative you know know what I'm saying? So, you know, yeah, and I'm proud. I'm happy to get through and finally speak to you guys. I've been calling for a minute and it's a pleasure to talk to all y'all. You know what I mean? Same to you, King. Well, have a good one, brother. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and Redman and Method Man, you watched them on 420 on Versus, and now they'll be on the screen together again. We'll tell you what it is. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Happy Wednesday, guys. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. What's happening? Let's get to the rumors. Let's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. What's happening? Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Floyd Mayweather.

Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee.

It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. So the Floyd Mayweather-Logan Paul fight has been set. It will be held Sunday, June 6th at Hard Rock Stadium, the home of the Miami Dolphins. So Logan Paul tweeted out, it's finally official, fighting Floyd Mayweather

at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami on Sunday, June 6th. Let's effing go. And then Floyd also posted it as well. I'm not interested at all. Go on sale next week. Not even a little bit. I will not be ordering that pay-per-view.

Logan Paul has done nothing to deserve to be in the ring with Floyd Mayweather getting that big-ass payday. It's a waste of time, and I don't understand why Floyd Mayweather would be doing that other than money. Yeah, easy check. Yeah, money. I'm definitely going to check it out.

His name is Floyd Mayweather. Yeah, but you're Floyd Mayweather. I mean, I don't know. Maybe I care about people's legacy more than they do, but, you know. He ain't going to lose. He's not going to lose. But what's the point? He's Floyd Mayweather.

Like, Logan Paul has done nothing to be in that ring. How much is he going to get? $70 million? $80 million? I would rather see Floyd Mayweather getting there with Oscar De La Hoya again. Oscar De La Hoya wants to get back in the ring. Why don't y'all do an exhibition match? That might happen, too.

But there's probably more money with the YouTubers than him. The fight will technically count as an exhibition, so it won't be on either of their official records so yeah so it's not interesting i am i'm gonna check it out all right now conor mcgregor's irish whiskey brand has sold for up to 600 million dollars okay he has sold his majority stake in proper number 12 irish whiskey so he previously had a 49% stake, him and his partners in that brand. And Proximo owns Jose Cuervo and Bushmills, among other liquor brands in its portfolio. So they confirmed this transaction. We're dropping the clues,

but I didn't mean to cut you off here, but I'm just simply stuff like that infuriates me because of kind of McGregor was black. They'd be calling him a sellout. I mean, but he's just doing good business. That's what you're supposed to do. You build businesses and you sell them. But he didn't have a majority

ownership in that business. He was just an investor. He said he sold his... 49%? That's not a majority. But still, even if he owned that, if he was black, they'd be calling him a sellout. And 49% is a lot, by the way. It is, yeah. Alright, well, he's gonna still continue to be the front man of that brand.

So, oh, and just to be clear. Okay. So Proximo Spirits, which bought it previously, held a 49% stake in the brand. So they're the ones that bought it. So I guess him and his partners had a 51% stake. Oh, okay. No, so he did have a majority ownership. He did have a majority ownership.

That's how business works. And it's not just him. It's him and his partner. So it's not him alone. It doesn't matter. Still good business. It's great business. All right. Now now DJ Khaled.

Are y'all ready for a new Khaled album? Well, that is coming out. It's called Khaled Khaled, and it's coming out on Friday. Shout out to Khaled, man. I haven't heard a single yet. He hasn't released a single. Usually he releases a single by now. Yeah, I salute Khaled because Khaled comes from radio.

Khaled is a radio guy. So I like that Khaled built all of this from the ground up from doing radio in Miami. Was it Power 99 I think he was on? I don't remember. But yeah, salute to Khaled. Alright, well he has a picture of both of his children, Asad and Alam, on the

cover of the album. And you know he did reveal both Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber are on there. Meek Mill is also on there. So I'm sure you guys. He Bieber are on there. Meek Mill is also on there. So I'm sure you guys. He got everybody on there. Cardi B, 21 Savage, Chris Brown, Big Sean, Wayne, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Jeezy, J Balvin, Travis Scott. What about Drake?

Who said Drake? You such a fake Puerto Rican. She said J Balvin and you ain't even say nothing. You jumped to the Canadian. J Balvin's Colombian. Nah. But shout out to J Balvin. Oh, I thought he was. You claim him all the time.

Because my bro is a Latin brother. Okay then. So you should have bigged him up. You should have been like, yeah, J Balvin. You should have hit the Puerto Rican drop we got. They were on the last album. So you can imagine this new album. Everybody that's going to be on it.

Him and Drake got some classics. That's why. I never heard it. Shut up, man. I haven't. I haven't heard of Jake Paul and Drake. Alright, now Redman is going to be starring as Method Man's brother in season two of

Power Book 2 Ghost. So that's going to be really dope. And I know they're going to have a good time on set filming. Can you imagine? As you know, Method Man has had that recurring role and remember he had that sex scene last season that everybody was talking about that went viral on social media.

Well, now he's going to be joined by Redman. So that's really, really dope. What will Redman's profession be on the show? Will he be like the bum brother to the real successful lawyer and the reason you haven't seen him is because the lawyer don't claim him or will he be like a professional too?

He's imprisoned. He's his imprisoned older brother. Exactly. Exactly. All right, now Tristan Thompson, let's get into this. He's imprisoned. He's his imprisoned older brother. Exactly. Exactly. Yeek. All right, now, Tristan Thompson, let's get into this. So there's a woman, Instagram model named Sydney Chase, and she was on with No Jumper,

and she was talking about previously relations that she had with Tristan Thompson. Here's what she said, if y'all didn't see this interview. Sydney, how was Tristan Thompson's d***? It was a peekaboo d***, but baby, it was good. Hold on, hold on. So Tristan Thompson's uncut. I don't know. I'm talking gossip in the city, Anderson Lee.

Goodness gracious. Hayden, what are you doing? I'm ruining f***ing lives. What are you doing? He told me he was not in a relationship anymore, so I said okay. How long ago was this? This was, I think, November. Goodness gracious.

Now, she says that she was drinking, things got misconstrued. Here's what she said afterward. I did disclose personal information about Tristan, which I do apologize for because that's not okay, and I shouldn't have done that. However, me answering the question about our past relations that is true I then found out that he was in a relationship and I ended things we first met November and then the last time we had contact besides when he messaged me after finding out about the interview it was the day after his daughter's birthday party which he just got back home from Boston. Goodness gracious.

We have no reason to believe that woman. And it's sad that people get on these platforms and say anything. And it's even sadder that it becomes news. Because what if Tristan says it's not true? Who do you believe? You think he's going to respond? No, if it wasn't true, right, do you think he should say something

or you think he should ignore it? I think you should sue her. I think you should sue the hell out of her. Absolutely. Because she said he hit her up afterward, after she did that interview and messaged her. He might have hit her up after when she said that, but yeah, if he didn't do it, he has to sue her.

And the sad part about it is when it comes to situations like that, when you want to sue, your lawyers will tell you that it's a waste of time. They'll tell you it's a waste of money. They'll do all of these things. It's always like he gains nothing by suing her. Nothing at all. And she gains everything just by being in the courtroom with him. It's always like, he gains nothing by suing her. Nothing at all. And she gains everything just by being in the courtroom with him.

Like, it's just pointless. It's so whack the way the game is set up. He gotta do this. Especially if he wants his relationship back, he wants to declare his name, he has to. What if he and Khloe were on a break and not back together at that time?

What if it didn't happen? What if it's just not true? What if she's just on there saying things? Yeah, it could not be true also, but it could be any of those things. What if she's just on there saying things because she wants attention and she knows true also, but it could be any of those things. What if she's just on there saying things because she wants attention and she knows she's going to get it

because she knows stuff like this is going to happen? Correct. We talking about her on The Breakfast Club. That is your rumor report. But if it is true, just fall back.

Say nothing. But if it's not, you got to go. If it's true, what can you do? But even if it's not true, sometimes it's better to fall back and say nothing

because nobody cares about the truth and the lies more entertaining anyway, so whatever. Hey, just ball out. What better to fall back and say nothing. Because nobody cares about the truth and the lies. It's more entertaining anyway. So, whatever. Hey, just ball out. What? I wouldn't say that. Just ball.

I mean, for him to just go play basketball. Oh. All right. Good luck, Tristan. Front page news next. What are we talking about? You said trusting. All right.

Let's talk about if you are vaccinated, what are the new CDC regulations? 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. Angela here. And The General Insurance has been helping people save money

for nearly 60 years. They offer the quality coverage you deserve at prices you can afford. Make the right call and go with The General. Call 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com. Some restrictions apply. It's DJ, JNV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now let's get

in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, if you are fully vaccinated, the CDC has issued new outdoor mask guidance for fully vaccinated people. You can now unmask at small outdoor gatherings or when dining outside with friends

from multiple households. Also, unvaccinated people, they still need to wear a mask if you're at those gatherings. But if you're fully vaccinated, you want to attend a small outdoor gathering with people who are vaccinated and unvaccinated or dine at an outdoor restaurant

with friends from multiple households. If you're vaccinated, you can do so safely unmasked. If you're in a crowd like a stadium or at a conference or a concert, you still need to wear a mask, even if you're outside. But beginning today, gathering with a group of friends in a park, as long as you are vaccinated and outdoors, you can do it without a mask. Our scientists are convinced by the data that the odds of getting or giving the virus to others is very, very low

if you're both been fully vaccinated and out in the open air. So if you're in a larger crowd, they're saying if you're fully vaccinated, they do recommend that you still wear a mask. But they're saying walk around the street, you just don't have to wear your mask if you've larger crowd, they're saying if you're fully vaccinated, they do recommend that you still wear a mask. But they're saying walk around the street. You just don't have to wear your mask if you've been vaccinated. They're saying if you're in a small gathering or eating outdoors, but if you're someplace gathered, yes.

And they also advise that both vaccinated and unvaccinated people still wear masks in indoor public spaces like the mall, the movie theater or a museum. So basically, Joe Biden is telling us to do what we've been doing. Yeah, we've been wearing masks in that's what we've been doing. We've been wearing masks in large crowds and we're around our people. We don't wear masks. We've been doing that. You can't wear a mask while you're eating. Exactly. We've been doing that, Joe. Then how do you

eat? But how do you tell the difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated people? You can't. There's no way to tell. Right. It makes no sense. Alright, now let's switch gears and this is a really sad situation. This

happened back in 2019 during a traffic stop. A black woman was grabbed by the hair and pulled out of her SUV by North Carolina police. They said she was driving 10 miles per hour over the speed limit and failed to stop for law enforcement according to a civil lawsuit that was filed last week. There are four law enforcement officers named in the federal lawsuit.

Stephanie Bottom. She was driving on May 30th, 2019, and she was going to attend her great aunt's funeral. And she's a 66 year old librarian. She was listening to music, didn't initially see the flashing blue lights coming from the police vehicle behind her. She did not believe that she was driving fast, didn't think that the police were trying to stop her. That's happened, right? You think, okay, they must be trying to get past me or whatever. Sometimes you're not paying attention. Once it became clear that they were pulling her over, she was afraid and she was looking for a safe place to pull over.

They had their sirens on for at least 10 minutes according to the body camera footage. And when she didn't immediately pull over, one of the officers making the traffic stop made statements by his body camera that she was an effing retard. And I don't know

if I'm allowed to say D-bag. No. Right. What's the D stand for? I don't know if I can say it. It rhymes with boosh. Or rhymes with toosh. Okay. So another officer involved in the traffic stop pulled ahead of her and then put those

spike strips and those spike strips immobilized her vehicle. All this for driving 10 miles over the speed limit, by the way, on her way to a funeral. Let's just reiterate that. They approached her vehicle with their guns drawn and pointed at her, and she was terrified. Listen to this.

I wasn't going that fast. Well, honey, you had several miles to stop. Why didn't you stop? Because I didn't know they were going after me. Man, there was about four police cars behind you. What's going on? Police. I'm in pain.

Can I have your picture? My shoulder is in pain. I have a turn. My shoulder is in pain. I have a turn. I have a turn. I have a turn. Please. You put a lot of people in danger tonight, ma'am. Hell no.

I was driving 70 miles an hour, 70, 75 miles an hour. You refused to stop for law enforcement. They would never treat a white woman like that. They pulled her out of her vehicle and slammed her on the ground by her arm and her hair. And they actually popped her arm. They forced her to lay down on the ground. And she was shrieking in pain. She tore her rotator cuff.

She had severe injury. Poor officers. These cops with these fragile egos, they be on these power trips. How dare this black woman don't listen to me. And you know what's sad? I'm happy that she's alive because she could be dead. Like literally, that's where we're at, America. We're at the point where we're happy that

that's all that happened to that 66 year old woman because she literally could be dead. They refused to get her medical treatment. She told them she was in pain. She was handcuffed on the side of the road. They went through her vehicle and her purse without her consent. You know, they told she told them that she couldn't stand. They told them she was in pain. She was handcuffed on the side of the road. They went through her vehicle and her purse without her consent. She told them that she couldn't stand. They told her to stand up. They picked her up by her arms

and let's remember they did tear her rotator cuff and they gave her additional pain in her shoulder, forced her to stand, put her in the back of the patrol car and on the body camera footage you can hear the police officer saying that's good police work, baby. Lord have mercy. When we all realize none of this is case by case, it's a system. Number one is systemic racism.

Number two, they use that systemic racism to treat the lower caste, which is us, black people, any way they want to. All the time. I don't know about you guys, but I get pulled over a lot. And a lot of times the police be behind me a long time. If it's daytime and I got my music on and I'm zoned out and i'm just looking in front of me they'll be behind me for a minute and i won't even see that they there i can't hear the siren because i got my music up i don't see the flash lights because i'm not doing anything wrong so i'm not looking at my rearview camera i'm zoned out

and guess what they're gonna do when they finally pull you over they're gonna approach your car with their guns out because you're a black man and they're sitting there looking at you like okay he didn't stop so maybe he must be up to something. And they might just start firing on your ass just because they feel threatened, which is a law that needs to change. Police officers should not be able to kill people just because they feel threatened because they're already threatened by our black skin. Have any of those officers been charged yet?

This is an ongoing investigation. You know, she just filed a suit. It's been damn, damn long. It's been 11 months. Just last week is when she did the suit. That's why we're talking about it now and know about it. So between then, none of those officers have been charged with anything? Of course they didn't.

That's crazy. No, it's not as America. That's the norm. All right. Well, that is Front Page News. Now when we come back, we're going to kick it with, this is her last season, right? The last season of

Fix My Life. Ayanla Vanzant will be joining us. So we're going to kick it with her when we come back. Alright, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart?

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.

I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude and the power of love. I forgive myself.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest on the line. That's right. Ayanla Van Zandt. Welcome. Thank you. How are you?

Grand rising. Grand rising. Same to you. Dang, so you ending Fix My Life? This the final season? Yes. I'm out. You tired of fixing people's lives?

You seem very happy. Yeah, you know, I'm very clear. It's run its course. It did what it needed to do. And now I get to have a summer off for the first time in 12 years. Were you tired of fixing people's lives? Was that what it was? It was giving you too much stress of dealing with everybody else's problems and heartache?

No, I love people. And I think that, you know, that's my purpose. I love teaching and that's what I got to do. You know, you just got to know when it's time to go. I know that Fix My Life changed the television, the genre of reality TV. You know what we did and what we brought to the platform has never been done. And I'm sure it'll be done again, but not by me. How do you think you're going to continue to serve once the show is over? Meaning helping people. I'm teaching.

I'm getting ready to do a huge workshop on sexual abuse trauma, doing it online. The pandemic, you know, just taught us a powerful gift about online. So now I have to know how to do more than turn the computer on. You know, I train coaches, I train ministers. I'll continue to write, just not at a hectic pace. You know what it's like to have to get up every day and be somewhere. Absolutely. I feel you. Now, let me ask you this. Obviously, you had a very popular episode with DMX, and unfortunately, he did pass. So what were your thoughts when that happened?

When he passed or when we had the episode? When he passed. You know, he was anointed, but he had never been consecrated, meaning that that anointing had never been honored and recognized. And unfortunately, you know, he was rewarded for bad behavior. But I saw the soft sides of him when he talked about his grandmother. You know, people don't know that. And he could pray the paint off the wall. Okay. He was so anointed. So, you know, he's resting and he left a powerful legacy. But he's also a cautionary tale

about how we need to take better care of each other and call each other on our stuff. You know, I remember when you said that you were disobedient to what your inner guidance was telling you to do when it came to dealing with DMX.

What was that? To consecrate him. We had an entire process that we were going to take him through. But unfortunately, the location that we chose for the for the show had no heat. Doug E. Fresh agreed to come in. Ice-T was going to come in So that some of his peers and partners Could really bless him And consecrate that anointing I had a whole group of men to come in And because the house was cold We didn't do it

We didn't do the consecration You gotta walk us through what a consecration is I'm not that involved In my spirituality Stop it You know most of us were baptized as babies oh okay yeah but when you when you're older and and particularly because he had a ministering spirit i mean he really had a minister he did his speaking was to the soul his writing was from the soul.

So I was just going to do, you know, in the ancient traditional African way, wash him, anoint his head with oil, pray over him, and change his name. Right. Did you have a name in mind? No, I wouldn't have known the name until we had done the ceremony. Then I would have asked. Wow. Wow. What do you find when you're doing Fix

My Life? There's sometimes that people are very open. Like I felt like in this season, Lisa Rae was very open to hearing everything that you had to say and making the changes that she needs to make and receptive. But then there are people who are very resistant. Yeah, resistant to that. What do you what do you find more pleasure in when people are open or breaking down those walls to people who are so resistant to actually digging deeper? Well, remember, you see 48 minutes of maybe three or four days. Everybody's resistant. You know, the piece, you may not see that piece, but you're baring your soul in front of the public. That's not an easy thing to do. So I had learned, you know, after years and years and years of doing this work, to meet people where they are and push them, pull them, drag them, kick them forward. When I meet the resistance, I have to see what kind of resistance it is. And then I have to

know whether to push, pull, drag, kick, and to get them what kind of resistance it is. And then I have to know whether to push, pull, drag, kick, and to get them to move to the next play. How long does it take for somebody to trust you? Because, you know, you're talking to somebody that you don't know, and it's hard to open up your feelings and gain that trust. So how long does it usually take for somebody to say, you know what, I'm going to open up and trust this individual? Well, you know what, on the Fix My Life set, I always have what I call prayer warriors. Somebody they're holding the space, calling in the energy.

And each person is different. But you know, I meet them and then I have the weapons of the bosoms. Once I lay that head, that head in the bosom, they're going down, they're going down. That's my secret weapon. That's your secret weapon.

Bosoms and a hug, yeah. So it really all depends on the person. But usually you don't come that far without trusting. They trust me in the beginning. I cannot tell you the thousands upon thousands of letters that we got where people said, I've never spoken to anybody about this. You know what an honor that is for me? You've never spoken to anybody and you're going to write this to me?

So we always try to respect and honor the guests. But by the time they write me, they're trusting me. What happens is they get there see those cameras and they go into fear and and that's what i usually had to dismantle was the fear you know you know queen you you laughing but something about the bosom does bring a person back to like that childlike nature yeah yeah because know, your first nine months of your life, you spent under the bosom. Maybe the first two years of your life, you ate at the bosom. So the bosoms are mothering and nurturing, you know, and it don't even matter what size.

If you are, if you are bringing the love to that place. And the other thing is the bosoms are right over the heart. Ooh. So it's a heart to heart connection. I don't care who you are. You lay your head there and you hear that heartbeat. You, you just surrender. That's right. All right.

We got more with Ayanla Vanzant. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Ayanla Vanzant.

Charlamagne. I want to talk to you about something I be talking to my therapist about because I often wonder, can a person truly be healed from every life experience? Do you ever get to a place of wholeness or do you just get close to it? When you get to wholeness, you're dead. You die. Everything here is a lesson. That's why we're here.

So you never can, when you do all that you've come to do, you'll exhale and you won't inhale again. Now, what changes, I think, is maybe what you're asking me, Charlamagne, is does it get easier? Whereas in my 20s and 30s, I used to fall apart and for relationship, you know, went bad. Now I help them pack. Because I know people come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. And when that reason or that season is over, it's time to go. I didn't know that when I was 20 and 30 hanging on somebody's ankle trying to keep them from going. So what happens is you learn the lesson, and then the next time you face the situation, you apply what you've learned so that you can learn some more. And then they'll come back again and you get better and better each time. Wow. You know, it's interesting

because along those lines, you also, I saw you write on Twitter, the only true way to create a more loving, productive and fulfilling life is by forgiving the past, right? But what if whoever hurt you in the past is, you know, not wanting forgiveness, still doing things that are hurting you. How do you forgive the past? The impression is that you have to forgive the other person. How about forgiving yourself for participating? Start there because every, everybody comes into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. So something in your soul called this experience forward. But when you're focused on what they did or what he did, she did, what's going on outside, you don't get a chance

to look inside. Every bad relationship I've had, it was by voluntary participation. Every difficult situation that I'm in, if I get still enough, I can go back and say, okay, this is how I contributed to it. So forgive yourself instead of worrying about the other person. Why do you feel it's not easy for people to leave those situations? Because we can talk about it after the situations. It's so easy to discuss after. Why do you think when people are in those situations, they can't say, you know what, I'm out or I can't leave? Is it comfortability? What do you think the reason is? Because the number one human fear is the loss of love. That's a, I mean, that's a bone wrenching fear. So when you, we think we're in love or we

think we love something or someone to let it go raises fear and fear is the ultimate tool of the ego and fear will make you believe, oh, you know, you're going to die. Your eyes are going to fall out. You're going to end up in the park with the squirrels. So we will hold on. And the human mind loves comfort and familiarity, even if it stinks and it's toxic. If it's familiar, you know, what's the saying? Better the devil you know than the one you don't know.

We'll stay there because it's comfortable and it's familiar you know what's the saying better the devil you know than the one you don't know we'll stay there because it's comfortable and it's familiar and that means we have control you know so many women think there's no such thing as a man who doesn't cheat or and that's what you're saying like as far as the devil you know as opposed to the devil you don't know and they'll stay in a situation because they're like well all men cheat anyway so i might as well stay with this person who is taking care of me. At least I know who they are as a person instead of trying to get into a whole new situation. And it happens to me all over again. What do you have to say about that? Well, I don't believe in cheating. I don't believe in cheating. I want to know what agreements did we have? Did we have an agreement and a commitment that this was a monogamous relationship?

And if we did, and you violated that agreement, and you violated that commitment, that tells me that you don't have no integrity, and you don't have nothing to do with me. And I don't choose to be in relationship with people who surrender their integrity, who don't have integrity. Women take on the cheating as though it has something to do with them. You got to look at this person and say, OK, this person's got integrity issues. This person has issues with honesty. Is that something I want to deal with?

And if you're going to deal with it, stay and stop complaining. I don't believe in cheating. I believe in violation of agreement, and I believe in broken commitments. Well, I'm glad you don't believe in cheating, because black men don't cheat. No, I don't think they do. They violate commitments.

Yeah, they violate commitments. They have difficulty with commitments and in this country where they're educated, programmed, and conditioned, dehumanized, devalued, most brothers are struggling with their personal integrity, their personal value

and their personal worth and that's why they use mr. man and his three two friends to try to gather up some worth and value what are your thoughts on you know I was watching the funeral of DMX and his ex-wife spoke and she talked about the demons in the industry and people following those demons. What are your thoughts on that? Because the industry is very demonic and very negative in a lot of ways. I wonder, this is a wondering, no heat, no judgment, I promise you. No heat, no judgment. I wonder what would have happened had the producer said to him, you come in here high, you can't hit my stage. I ain't paying you.

I wonder what would happen had we called him on his stuff. So I don't know if they're demons in the industry, but there sure is a lot of incentive to lose yourself, Eminem, lose yourself in the music moment to get the external validation. Fame is a drug. It's a drug. Sometimes I think it's worse than crack or heroin. People lust after it. They'll do anything for it. And then all of the trappings that go along with it. That's why I buy my own groceries. I go to the supermarket. I pump my own gas because I don't even want to entertain the demon, a celebrity, because it's a drug and many people chase it. So I understand what she says, but we we we can't blame the industry. Individuals have to come to the table as healthy as possible. And we have to have strong yeses and strong no's and clear boundaries i think i think what you said is very true you know you got to come into a situation as healthy as possible because

money fame it doesn't change you it just multiplies whatever it is that you are so if you came in as an addict it's probably just going to multiply that that addiction so how do you get somebody help if they didn't even come in as a healthy version of themselves? Well, again, it goes to, you know, I have a student one time and she was behaving badly. And people were talking about her behind her back. And when we carefronted her about the situation, you know what she said? Turned to her fellow students and she said, don't let me die. Don't let me die. Don't let me die.

When you see me putting myself in harm's way, call me out. Call me out. Don't let me die. We let him die. Him and so many others. We let them die because we didn't call them out on their stuff.

What if you call them out and they still don't want to get help? Create clear boundaries. A producer should not, he can always say, you come here high, you can't go on my stage. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to subject my audience to you. You come here clean,

straight, or you don't go on the stage. Cancel a contract. Put it in the contract. And I'm just saying that in that particular industry, but it in the contract. And I'm just saying that in that particular industry, but it's in everywhere. It's in television, it's in movies, you know, and it's the drug of external validation. So when people come broken, how many young artists do we have or artists in general? I mean, I can go all the way back to Billie Holiday and Ray Charles, who were broken. And in a culture where you're not supposed to talk about your private business,

you don't want people to know your weaknesses, and we self-medicate. So when we recognize it, when we recognize it, managers, agents, assistants, because, I mean, look at R. Kelly. Absolutely. Another thing. You mean to tell me nobody can say yo brother i'm not participating in that what you doing absolutely don't let him die wow all right well don't move we got more with ayanla vinzant so don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast

club we're still kicking it with Ayanla Vanzant. Charlamagne. What is the key to finding healing? Well, how are you defining healing? Healing for me is to restore to wholeness and availability for original purpose. But you say that don't happen until you die. Wholeness. Well, no.

Healing. Healing doesn't happen until you absolutely die. And wholeness, you know, when you are dead, you are whole. I guess I haven't been dead in this lifetime, so I don't know. But in terms of the healing work and the process of healing, what is our original purpose? Our original purpose is to awaken to our God self, to celebrate life and to do what brings us joy. So the closer that you get to that, and most of us struggle, struggle, struggle through life, trying to accomplish something, have something and never get to that place where we just have joy. You know, one of the things that I want to do when I leave, fix my life. I haven't had a summer off in 12, maybe 14 years.

I'm telling you, not a summer. I wouldn't know the beach if it bit me on my butt. I want joy. I want to go to the beach. I want to eat popsicles, the one with the two stick. I want to walk my dog. Does the show not give you joy like that? Oh, yes, it did.

But it was work. Yeah. I love what I do. How do you know when it's time, though? Like, what made you say, OK, this is the last season? Was it a day that you woke up and were like, OK, I'm not doing this anymore? How did you know? Well, you know, when you're serving God's people, you got to be in good relationship

with God. So I take my direction from God. So I was praying one day and the Holy Spirit said, this is done. And I was like, what? What exactly would you be speaking of, sir? You know, and I knew and it was done. So I had to work with that. You know, I'm a Black woman, almost 70 years old with a national platform on a network owned by a black woman. How do you walk away from that? So I had to really work with it. And then I had to remember why I went there, what my intention was.

That intention was met and it was getting harder and harder. And it was work. I could stay another five, 10 years if I wanted to. But you know what?'m old i can't remember where i put my glasses you know you know you know queen the reason i asked you about uh the healing thing is because it's like you know i i can go to therapy you know i can meditate i do all of these things would it be like one thing that you might hear you you know, from the past or one person you thought that, you know, you had you had healed from and you hear something or see them and it triggers you and it feels like it brings you right back to that bad place again. So I'm like, damn, do you ever get to a place of just healed? Can I offer can I ask you a question? You don't have to respond. Okay. I would encourage you to ask

your therapist or your coach, whatever, you know, the person you're working with, are you doing healing work or are you doing growth work? There's a distinction between growth work, meaning growing beyond where you were, growing into something new, getting a whole new perspective. Whereas healing work is releasing, clearing, neutralizing. And healing work is not intellectual. It's energetic. That's right. So there has to be a lot of energetic work that goes on. All right. So yes, the prayer and the meditation and the therapy is good. But ask your therapist, are we doing healing work? They're both great. Or are we doing growth work?

Because when you do growth work, you get to that moment when that thing is neutralized. You've uprooted it from the root and the cause. That's healing work. Growth work is you learn how to manage and move through situations with a different response. Yeah, I would say I would say I've been doing a lot of growth work is you learn how to manage and move through situations with a different response yeah i would say i would say i've been doing a lot of growth work i have i have a sacred purpose coach and i have a lot of people around me that are in the mindfulness space who've been telling me for the longest i got to do more healing work to move just move that trauma through my body so yes yes that's it that's why you know you know, starting next week, actually, this week, I'm doing a five-day process on releasing trauma. Just releasing the energy of trauma so that the healing can occur.

Because it's hard to heal when you have the energy of the trauma in your body and in your mind. You've got to do the healing work to release the trauma so that you can then create balance. As long as the trauma's there, that imprint, it's really hard to do healing work because you re-trigger it all the time. Yeah. Can Black people ever be trauma-free? When we live in a world, when we're watching videos of us getting assassinated every other day, can we ever be trauma-free in this country? Well, I don't know if we can be trauma-free, but we certainly can have a different response to it. And nobody's doing that work.

It's traumatic for me. It's even more traumatic for me as a mixed person. I'm Black and Native American. And what's going on in my Native American community right now is just, you know, you don't even hear about it. I don't know which is worse, hearing it and seeing it or not hearing it and seeing it. But we can respond differently to it. I have a very different response to George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery and Sandra Bland than I had to Amadou Diallo and Eleanor Bumpers that people don't even speak about. Okay. So I have a very different response now and how I take it in and what I do with it. This is my last question, Queen, and it ties into the forgiveness question I asked. How do you view grace? Because I feel like we don't give each other enough grace.

Well, let me put it this way. Mercy is when you get what you don't deserve. Oof. That's mercy. And grace is when you don't get what you do deserve. Because sometimes we deserve a little pow-pow on the butt, you know? And grace is not this time. And sometimes, and so I think, you know, the mere fact that we can inhale and exhale, that's grace. Because the distinction between the living and the dead is that inhale. That's the distinction. Because

no matter how you get there, shot, stab, poison, suicide, whatever, the moment of transition or death is the same for everybody. I don't care who you are. You exhale and you don't inhale. So the fact that you're inhaling and exhaling, that's grace. Some of the things that I've done in my life that I didn't get power powered for grace, you know? And some of the things that I refused to do and I still got rewarded for, that's mercy. So I don't think we give enough grace to each other. A lot of times we can't give the grace because we don't have the forgiveness. Wow. No, you're right.

You're right. Well, Alanya, thank you for joining us. We really appreciate it. I love being with y'all. Always a pleasure. And you still have to come even though we know Fix My Life this is the final season but you are still doing work so you're always welcome

to come on the show and Charlamagne ask your therapist about that are you doing growth work or healing work and healing work is a whole another animal that's what I gotta get to the healing work I love you queen and other animal. It is. That's what I got to get to, the healing work. I love you, Queen, and I value you,

and I appreciate you, and I can't wait to see you. Good. Did you write your book, Envy? You and your wife? We're still writing that. We're almost 98% done. It's a great one.

This year, we've been married 20 years. This is our 20th anniversary so we wanted it to come out for our 20th anniversary but we can't travel and this is one of the ones where we want to talk to people and talk to couples so the 21st we'll do we're gonna release it on the 21st anniversary and please do that envy because when i saw your story i was like wow a lot of brothers need to hear what he's saying. You know, you were so authentic. And you too, Charlemagne, you talked about your stuff. That's beautiful. Because, you know, a lot of men can't hear me.

But when they understand that another brother can be a soft place for them to fall, and when they see themselves in you, that's very helpful. So good. I appreciate you. Thank you, both of you, so much. Thank I appreciate you. Thank you both of you so much. Thank you, Queen. You always got a soft place to land with me, brother. Okay, thank you.

No, Queen. All right. Why you call Ayanla your brother? I said, don't be disrespectful. Don't disrespect Queen Bonzant like that. I said, call her my brother. I said, you. You called Ayanla your brother.. I said Charlamagne, my brother. Call her my brother. I said you.

No, you called her. You called Ayanna your brother. No, I said Charlamagne, my brother. You always have a soft place to land with me. Drop on the clues, Bob. So Queen Bonzant, by the way. Love her. And she's right.

I've been focused on my growth work, not my healing work. I don't think it's your growth work. But let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Rick Ross. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club.

So listen up. Well, Rick Ross was on the People Everyday podcast and he was talking about seeing the lighthearted side of DMX and spending time with him and Swizz for the music video, Just In Case. Listen to this. I had the opportunity of working with DMX last year.

We actually recorded the lead single for Godfather of Harlem. We filmed the video. I got to be on the set. I got to see the funny side of him. You know, we got to laugh at a few jokes. I saw him, you know, really focused and turned up and hearing about his addiction many years ago, being in the industry,

is something that's been, you know, in my heart the most. Me having family members that suffer with addiction, I understood the struggle. It's something that was really painful. Of course, I didn't expect this. You know, and it just hurt. Mm-hmm. Same. Yeah, so make sure y'all listen to that whole episode.

But yes, I know a lot of people have family members who are struggling, and we just talked with Ayanna Bonzant about her experience working with DMX. So again, always got to offer our condolences to DMX's family and friends and loved ones. And Black Rob, his funeral will be live streamed on Revolt TV. So that's going to be happening after suffering from this devastating loss as well. Friday, April 30th, according to Mark Curry, he said,

Join us as we gather to share our favorite stories and memories, to laugh and to cry in memory of our beloved Robert Black Rob Ross. We will always love you. Yeah, that's going to be at the Apollo, but it's going to be only for family and friends. So it's not open to the public. All right. In addition,

Shaq G from Digital Underground, he will be laid to rest not far from where he died. They said his funeral plans have been set and his group Digital Underground will be well represented at the service. They said it's going to be in his group Digital Underground will be well represented at the service. They said it's going to be in Tampa and Digital Underground will be front and center, including founding member Money B and DJ Fuse. It's hard. Too much death, too much trauma. Salute to all of those families sending healing energy to the family, the DMX, Black Rob and Shock G.

All right. So as far as the details surrounding Shock G's unfortunate passing, they said he was last seen the day before he died when a hotel manager noticed him outside the building. The manager was concerned because Shaq G missed his scheduled checkout time, went to his room and found him unresponsive laying in bed. So he called 911. And right now, the cause and manner of death are still unclear. Yeah, I need to know because the way my anxiety is set up, I'll be sitting here thinking that he just died at 57 years old. I need to know a reason. The reason makes me feel better. That's just the way my anxiety is set up. Well, love and blessings to everybody because I just want to put that out there. I know it's not easy to have to deal with all of this.

So again, for Shaggy, for Black Rob, for DMX, we are sending you so much love. All right. Now, Jay-Z, his next investment, it looks like he's investing in fitness. So there was a post, Lit Method is the name of the company. And it says, introducing our new partners, Jay-Z, Jay Brown, Larry Marcus, and five-time MLB all-star Adrian Gonzalez. Lit is proud to announce a landmark investment from Jay-Z's notable venture capitalist firm, Marcy Venture Partners, and Adrian Gonzalez, five-time MLB all-star. Okay. Have y'all ever tried Lit Method or heard of it?

Nah, that's on the West Coast, right? Isn't it like a fitness program on the West Coast? Or was it created by somebody on the West Coast? Yeah, so they just got some funding to support their growing demand, but they're expanding their product line and also making

low-impact training accessible to people across the country and ultimately the world. So you can go to litmethod.com if you want to learn about the mission,

the machines. And all types of things like that. So it's, I guess, it's almost like in competition, on the opposite side is like a Peloton, I would assume, right? Yeah, I think it's, I guess, it's almost like in competition, on the opposite side is like a Peloton, I would assume, right? Yeah, I think it's more like a...

Cardio and Pilates, physical therapy. Yeah, it's like Pilates, rowing, bar strength training, all of that. So it's high intensity, but it's low impact training. I guess, does LIT stand for low impact training? I guess so. All right, well, that is I guess so. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. All right.

Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlemagne, who are you giving that down to? You know, I need Richard Barnett and his attorney, Joseph McBride, to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with him. If you don't remember who Richard Barnett is, since we just talked about Jay-Z, Jay-Z had a nice little line about him on the Nipsey Hussle song. But we'll talk about it for after the hour because we should never stop reminding people that Vanilla Ice's and Owlcracker attempted a coup on the Capitol building on January 6th. We'll discuss. All right.

We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hiring is challenging. But there's one place you can go where hiring is simple and smart. That place is ZipRecruiter, where growing businesses connect to qualified candidates. Try it for free at ZipRecruiter.com slash breakfast.

ZipRecruiter, the smartest way to hire. This is America. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. It was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. And so we are in a state of emergency.

Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The Breakfast Club, bitches! Alright, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? I don't owe you no damn explanation, okay? Donkey of the day for Wednesday, April 28th goes to Richard Barnett and his attorney, Joseph McBride. Look, I'm not going to be up here long, says every pastor before he preaches for three hours. But do you remember who Richard Barnett is?

Well, you should. And you should never forget because he's one of the members of Vanilla ISIS, one of the members of the domestic terrorist organization, Al Cracker, who bum rushed the Capitol building on January 6th. Let me tell you something. There's not a day that should go by that we, our mainstream media, does not talk about the attempted coup that happened in this country on January 6th, okay? There needs to be a mass marketing campaign

to promote what happened on January 6th. I need whoever does the marketing plan for Marvel, you know, for Marvel TV shows and films to get on this. We need billboards, TV commercials, social media ads constantly promoting the fact that a mayonnaise mob literally held an insurrection at the Capitol building on January 6th. I mean, textbook insurrection, a violent uprising against an authority or government. That's in the dictionary. OK, that happened in America.

And folks treated it like it was just a bunch of drunk, wild white people doing too much at spring break in Florida. But when you live in a country where a white man can kill eight people, mostly Asian and almost all women in the captain of the sheriff's office, Jay Baker chalks it up to him just having a bad day. That tells you all you need to know. But I, for one, will remind you of the attempted coup that happened in this country on January 6th for the rest of my life. And today's donkey gives me an opportunity to do just that. Now, I call Richard Barnett Osama bin racist to me. He's like one of the leaders of Al Cracker. I mean, he was in the Capitol building with a stun gun and he went into Nancy Pelosi's office and put his feet up on the desk.

Remember, Jay-Z rapped about it. You let them crack the storm, your capital put their feet up on your desk. And yet you talking tough to me. I lost all my little respect. All our little respect. Okay. He left a menacing note to Nancy Pelosi. Now this guy, prior to the Capitol riots, was waking up and choosing violence.

Okay. In fact, 10 days prior, he posted photographs of himself and other members of the mayonnaise mob protesting election results outside the stateitol in Little Rock, holding a rifle. And in a separate post on the same day, he wrote that he came into this world kicking and screaming, covered in someone else's blood. And he's not afraid to go out the same way. That post came with a selfie of Richard Barnett, a.k.a. Osama bin Rasis, with a rifle scrapped to his chest while he's wearing a polo shirt with the Blue Lives Matter flag on his sleeve. Why am I telling you all that? Because when you factor that in and look at what he did at the Capitol building on January 6th, it's safe to say this guy may be prone to violence, right?

Well, after serving four months, four months in government custody for being one of the leaders of an attempted coup, Richard Barnett is being released. A federal judge ruled that Richard does not present the kind of danger to society that would warrant pretrial detention. America with three K's, where a white man can violently be a part of a plot to overthrow the government, pose with guns and threaten government officials on Facebook, put his feet on the speaker at a house's desk, bleed on her desk, left blood there after writing her as what media outlets described as a menacing note will be labeled as not dangerous and posing no threat to society, even though he's in jail for posing a threat to our society. wearing a hoodie with some Arizona iced tea and some Skittles is dead. And his killer is free. This is America. Make sure you spell it with three Ks, please. Now, let's get to the reason we are all here. Why is Richard Barnett and his attorney getting donkier today? Well, I'll tell you why. After serving four months for what should have been treason, okay,

which used to be punishable by death, but now has been replaced with a maximum punishment of life in prison, Richard Barnett will be released on home detention, location monitoring. They've taken his passport, taken his firearms and other weapons. He can't travel outside of a 50 mile radius and he can't associate with any other members of vanilla ISIS that he stormed the Capitol building with on January 6th. How did this happen? Because he's a white man. But the defense his lawyers argued for his release is absolutely hilarious.

I mean, something straight out of the boondocks. If this wasn't real life, I would think Aaron Magruder wrote this himself. Very important to note that Osama bin racist, Richard Barnett, his nickname is Beagle. I'm telling you that because I'm about to read to you what the letter said that he wrote to Nancy Pelosi. OK, this is what the letter said. And you need to know that's his nickname. So it makes sense in the written wrote to Nancy Pelosi. Okay, this is what the letter said. And you need to know that's his nickname so it makes sense. In the written note to Nancy Pelosi, Richard Barnett says, hey, Nancy Beagle. Hey, Nancy, no comma.

Hey, Nancy, Beagle was here. Biat. B-I-A-T-D. I think he meant to spell bitch, but he spelled it B-I-A-T-D. His lawyers argue that it does not say you are bitch. I'm reading this verbatim from court filings. Instead of writing the accusatory you bitch, as the government falsely states, it only says B-I-A-T-D and without the word you.

On information and belief, the D was meant to be two letters, C and H. With the C connected to an H, it dispelled a word, biatch. Biatch. Which is a slang and less offensive word than bitch. This is what his lawyer said. So basically he's saying he didn't call Nancy Pelosi a bitch. He called her a biatch. Biatch.

His lawyers even included a link to an online definition of biatch as slang used as a term of endearment or disparagement for another person i'm not going to lie this might make me stop using the n-word i mean sometimes i have no other word to describe you n-words but man hearing this lawyer use the same dumb ass logic we use for the N-word, for the B-word in order to get Richard Barnett off really makes me think, just really makes me think maybe I should put the N-word to rest. Kyrie Irving, I think I'm with you. You might be onto something. It's a term of endearment. I'm saying it with the G-A, not the hard E-R. That logic sounds stupid, but it's not about us. When you hear somebody else trying to use it, okay? By the

way, this defense only works because Richard Barnett is a white man. This defense wouldn't work for too short. Even in a courtroom with a judge who at some point in life has been asked, what's my favorite word? Come on. White people stormed the Capitol on January 6th and nothing happened. Democrats should never stop talking about that. They should never stop reminding people of the fact that a group of white treasonous domestic terrorists tried to overthrow the government because they were mad at the election. This should always be a talking point. This should always be a headline. We should never stop discussing this. But Richard Barnett should still be in jail. You know why? So what? He spelled bitch wrong. OK. All right. But don't try to use our culture when it suits you.

All right. That's what really happened. He spelled the B word wrong, and now he's trying to use our culture when it suits him. See, they don't love us, but they love our culture. All of a sudden, Richard Barnett has cultural competency. Crack it, please. Okay, he spelled bitch like that simply because he can't spell. All right, your ancestors didn't keep my ancestors from being able to read and write,

you know, while my ancestors weren't a slave, for you to be illiterate, Richard. Okay, see, we all have those words we can't spell, but we can pronounce. See, Richard said he wrote biatch as a term of endearment in the note. But Richard Barnett, Osama bin Raisis, how do you explain what you said outside of the Capitol building while you was holding mail you stole out of Nancy Pelosi's office? Listen, this is Richard Barnett. Now, mind you, the same person that said he wrote biatch as a term of endearment,

and it's less offensive than the actual B word. Let's listen to Richard Barnett. I'm in her office. I got blood in her office. I put a quarter on her desk, even though she ain't f***ing worth it. And I left her a note on her desk that says Nancy Bigel is here, you bitch. That was bitch with a hard ch okay

explain you can't and you don't have to because we know what's going on white privilege rules everything around me too much goddamn age please let Kathy Griffin give Richard Barnett the biggest hee haw please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest

hee haw the defense really don't make no sense because if you said if you you link to the urban dictionary right that says biatch as slang uses a term of endearment or disparagement for another person so shouldn't the disparagement for another person make the lawyer's defense null and void? Huh? Happy birthday to Too Short, too, by the way. Drop on the Clues bombs for Too Short. Today is Too Short's born day, okay?

And don't ever, ever, ever think that defense would work for Too Short, okay? And we know he's the architect of saying the word bitch in that way. Bitch. All right.

Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Ye. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye.

Hello, who's this? Envy, what's up, brother? What's up, brother? Hey, this is Roger, man. You know the guy that got your bounce houses, the catering and stuff. Hey, what's up, brother? I wanted to ask you something right quick. Okay, what's up, Roderick?

Okay, I was getting ready to open up a restaurant because I'm big up here in Baltimore. I'm from Hollandale, Florida. I'm from Hollandale, Florida, but I moved to Baltimore. But I wanted to open up a restaurant,. I'm from Hollandale, Florida. I'm from Hollandale, Florida, but I moved to Baltimore. But I wanted to open up a restaurant, but I heard Charlamagne talking about

it's not good to open a restaurant during the pandemic. But I was telling my wife that I wanted to open it as a takeout spot. I was just at a restaurant over the weekend that opened during the pandemic in July, Kokomo, and they're doing amazing. Every case is different. I was just at a restaurant over the weekend that opened during the pandemic in July,

Kokomo, and they're doing amazing. Every case is different. I want to say that, right? Some restaurants are going to work, some aren't. The restaurant business is a hard business, period,

whether it's a pandemic or not. And so, I think right now a lot of people have had to pivot and a lot of things you have to take into consideration when it comes to opening a restaurant.

First of all, what is your overhead, right? Did you get a great deal? Because right now is a good time to get a good to opening a restaurant. First of all, what is your overhead, right? Did you get a great deal? Because right now is a good time to get a good deal on a lease. Yeah, but I don't want to be in a rig, you know what I'm saying? Because I got too much things going on. I got my family just moving. Yeah, but opening any business is an investment.

So you have to know that for a little while, it might be a struggle financially. And be prepared for that. It ain't nothing financial, but I'm like this. So you have to know that for a little while it might be a struggle financially and be prepared for that. It ain't nothing financial, but I'm like this. I'm like, I don't want to open it too fast because I think that I was just trying to open businesses fast. No, you got to have a plan still, right? Because without, you know, you have to.

So I just want to say put together a business plan, pull some comps on the area, see what's needed, see how other businesses are doing in that area. I do agree. Takeout is huge right now, right? And things are opening back up and it's also a good time to get a lease. If you have all your ducks in a row, if you can get a space that used to be a restaurant that shut down so you don't have to do much build out, that helps a lot too. Maybe you can find somebody who's trying to get out of their lease because they want to move or their restaurant didn't work out or whatever. That's the best way you'll be able to do it. If you can take over someone else's lease. Obviously, liquor is big if you own a restaurant too.

If you can get a liquor license, that's helpful. Yeah, but some people are trying to get out of theirs. I probably can use somebody else, Yeah, but you know, some people are trying to get out of theirs. You just got to do your research. That's all I'm saying. Do your research. Every place has different rules on liquor licenses. So make sure you do your research. See if, you know, that's it.

Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, hit Yee. Now it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name is Nicole. Hey, Nicole. Why you sound so depressed? Because I am.

Okay, what's the matter? Had a neighbor call me and my mom, and she said, because we have our own small business. Your mom clean, and I do some other stuff. So she was like, I can get you a loan. All we got to do is just run your credit, and then a year later, you start paying on it. So we did it.

We started getting bills in the mail. We're like, okay. So then now my mom got an email, and they're asking her for her tax return, but she don't file a tax because she's retired and it doesn't work. I don't know what to do. Okay. Have you consulted with an accountant? No.

I think what you have to do is get a professional to come in and help because right now you have to handle it. And let me tell you something, everything is fixable. And I know it might feel really difficult and hard right now for you, but you have to take back control of your finances in this situation and you'll be able to do that. You just have to figure out what the proper steps are. So what happened to you?

I mean, we don't have the money to pay it back because we spent the money doing other stuff and I have not been able to sleep. I have not been able to eat. I just don't know what to do. So how did they get the money? So the neighbor actually had her fill out like some,

I guess she had you apply for a loan, right? Yeah. How much? One of the loans was $70,000. The other one was $75,000. So $150,000, uh-huh. And what did you do with the money? We paid some stuff off.

We picked that house up. We helped my sister who wasn't working. Right. And listen, I get it, right? Right now you feel like you should have known better. Was it a PPP loan? No, it wasn't. Just a regular loan? An SBA loan or just a regular loan that you got? Just a regular SBA. Okay, so SBA loan, okay. All right, so you got to pay it back.

So how much do they charge? Do they usually give you a year until you got to start paying it back? Well, they gave us a year, then they now they're starting to ask for information like tax returns, but we don't have that. Right. Because we wasn't following on our taxes. That's why I'm telling you right now you have to talk to an accountant to figure out how you can resolve this.

I don't even know an accountant. I don't know what to do. Do you own a home, Mama? I own my mobile home, and my mama owns her home. All right. She wanted to go away. I wish I never did it. Yeah. I mean, it's one of those wish I never did it. Yeah.

I mean, it's one of those things. Yeah, she's right. You have to talk to an accountant because if you got to pay the money back, they allow you to pay monthly though, right? Right. You can work out. Listen, you can work out a plan. You can always work out a plan.

You can pay it monthly. I think it's like. But the worst thing you can do is to ignore those notices and not take any action at all. And I promise you that once you start making those steps to figure out how you can get yourself out of this situation, because taking no action at all is the worst thing you can do. Right? We just started asking for it and we don't know what to do.

My mom, she don't file taxes. Right. That's why I'm telling you right now, you've got to talk to an accountant. And sometimes you might have to pay back part of the loan. You might have to account for some of it. They might, you know, listen, they might garnish your check. I don't know what's going to exactly happen. That's why you have to talk to an accountant to figure out what's the best way.

It might be that you have to figure out a repayment plan. It might be a lot of interest that you'll have to pay back. I can't even give you those answers right now. But I do know that you have to get yourself somebody great to represent you so that they can tell you, okay, this is what we're going to do. But I promise you, when you get somebody, you're not the only person that something like this has happened to. And so I don't want you to feel like you're the only person that's done something like this. Clearly, you know, a lot of people have been getting involved in situations where they're in over their head. They did something. It was a mistake.

They didn't fully understand what would be the punishment for something like this. So I just feel like you've got to get in control of this, get ahead of it and figure out how to work it out. And that might mean financially you're going to be struggling for a little while, but that's okay because that peace of mind of knowing that you're not going to jail, that you're handling it, will make you feel a lot better. Hold on the line. Let me get your information. We're going to try to find an accountant, and I'll get some more information. I'm going to ask my accountant what are some of the things that you can do?

Okay. Alright, hold on. Alright, ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, hit Yee. Now you got rumors on the way? Yes, let's find out what happens when Yandy asked Mendeecee if he would have held her down if the roles

were reversed. It didn't go how we thought it would. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

I decided I want an accent in my, what's the thing called? What's the thing Beyonce got in her name? An accent? You know the thing. What's the little dash called, Yee? The what? Until then? In Beyonce's name. Asterix? Aster thing. What's the little dash called, Yee? The what? Until then? In Beyonce's name.

Asterisk? Asterisk. That's what I want. For what? You want it for a shot? No, that's not an asterisk. It's an asterisk. Oh, I didn't know it was an apostrophe.

Yeah, I thought it was called an accent. It's not called an apostrophe. It's an accent. Oh, an accent. I said an accent. There you go. I said that. I don't know what he was talking about.

From now on, my name is Leonard. L-E, accent, N-A-R-D. Leonard. I thought it always had a... No, he put it on there. His name is Leonard. L-E, accent, N-A-R-D, Leonard. I thought it always had a... No, he put it on there. His name is Leonard. Leonard. It's Leonard.

I thought it was L-E, apostrophe, N-A-R-D. No, it is now. It wasn't before, but it is now. Okay, well, my name is R-A-A... No, no, no, no, no, no. It don't have the same thing to it. No. Yes.

Rustank. It's not the same. Nope, yes, it is. Leonard. Le. Nod. No, wait. Your name is Leonard. All right, let's not to say. Nope. Yes, it is. Leonard. Le. Nord. No. His name is Leonard.

All right. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Mendices. Mendices. Mendices. I don't know what he said. I thought he said, let's talk Mandis. I was like, this guy is nuts.

Mendices. Mendices. All right. Well, I don't know if you guys have been watching Couples Retreat Season 1. There's a lot of people on there. Like, Delicious is on there with Raymond Santana, her man, her husband. Michael Blackson's on there. Michael Blackson's funny on there.

Michael Blackson is hilarious on there. He should be. I don't know why I was watching it. He's a comedian. He is funny. Him and his girl and their relationship. He should be. He's Michael Blackson. He better be funny. He is funny. Him and his girl and their relationship. He should be. He's Michael Blackton.

He better be funny. His girl. Okay, I'll let you explain. Rashida and Kirk are on there. Now, people are all talking about what happened with Yandy and Mendeecee when things got real, talking about his time in prison and if he would have reciprocated. If the role were reversed, would you hold me down? If the shoes was on the other foot, you know, I don't know what I would be able

to do. And that's so hurtful because people have said to me, you're doing all this, but he do that for you. And I've always combated with, yeah, we love each other. But to hear him sit here in my face and be like, I don't know. Listen, I'm telling you the truth.

That's so unfair. Why wouldn't you at least just lie about it? That's exactly. They were on TV. They can't run, man. Exactly. Yo, in the world of Papoose, drop one of Clues bombs for Papoose. In the world of Papoose, man, DCs, you can't lie.

I mean, in that moment, you just say yes. It was nasty. Hell yes. It was nasty. Come on, brother. The cameras are rolling. It was a little nasty. Come on.

Where is Ayala? Where is Ayala before the season ends? You let Papoose down. It was a little nasty. Come on. Where is Ayala? Where is Ayala before the season ends? You let Papoose down. It was a little nasty. Papoose would never. Papoose set the example for all of us. Papoose walked so the rest of us could run. Papoose showed us the answer to that question.

Okay, man. DC's coming on. And it's a hypothetical. You can't lie in a hypothetical. Like, Yandy's not even going to jail. Exactly. That's my point. Man, Desi, come on. He should have

fabricated that. Come on, King. Come on, the answer was right there. Like, literally, the answer is on the paper. Come on, man. You know I'd have held you down, girl. That's it, King. Come on.

Why would you even ask me? Don't disrespect me. Of course I'd have held you down. That pussy ain't got nothing on me. You damn right I'd have held you down, queen. He was like, I don't know. I got to think about that. That was disappointing.

You let Pap down. All right. All right, now let's talk about Kandi Burr. She was on the Speak On It show, and she was discussing things that she requested from Bravo during this time. I reached out to the person that I had a relationship with at the time of the network to basically say, look, I know you've been showing things on social media.

I think it needs to be a special on television so that people can see the struggle of what's happening right now. I also would like for you to agree to hire more African-Americans, you know, in top executive positions. And also I ask them to give more scholarships and internships to students from HBCU schools. All right. So those are things that should be going on permanently, by the way, not just because, you know, of the timing of it. Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about, but I respect it. Who she was talking to? Bravo?

She was talking to Bravo. Yeah, that's what she requested from them. All right. Now, this was interesting. This was a TikTok user actually sent a message to Adam Sandler. He walked out of an IHOP without being seated. She posted, please come back. And she said, people didn't realize that it was Adam Sandler. They told him it was a 30 minute wait. And then he left because he didn't want to wait at 30 minutes,

30 minutes at IHOP. So a publicist for Adam Sandler did say it was him, but they didn't provide any further information. And some people were saying, well, at least he didn't try to use his fame to get something. And another person said, I used to serve him regularly, never served a nicer person. And he didn't pull out the celebrity card either. They said he did the right thing.

They also said that the worker did the right thing by treating him just like a regular person. Yeah, that's no problem. You got to wait 30 minutes like everybody else. That's what happens. Yeah. But then she was upset because, you know, of course you would like Adam Sandler to come and sit down and eat an IHOP. That's just a nice,. But then as she was upset, because, you know, of course, you would like Adam Sandler

to come and sit down and eat an IHOP. That's just a nice look for IHOP. And then he bounced. But at least he wasn't like, do you know who I am? You know, some people do that. Or, excuse me, I'm Adam Sandler, you know, just wanted to let you know. But he just quietly left and went and ate somewhere else. Yeah, I don't think I would wait 30 minutes

for IHOP. Me neither. In a pandemic? Yeah. As a kid, I loved I would wait 30 minutes for IHOP. Me neither. In a pandemic? Yeah. As a kid, I loved IHOP. I loved IHOP as a kid. That was the Sunday. So you said in a pandemic like another time you would have? No, I'm just saying like, damn, IHOP still gotta wait like that? Yes! Even back in the day when the club

would let out, I don't think I would wait 30 minutes to go to IHOP. I'll go to Waffle House or something. Sheesh, y'all. Yeah, we used to go on Sundays as a kid. That was like the treat. IHop? Oh my goodness. Alright, well that is your rumor report. I used to get the fruity... You say you were fruity what? We know, we know.

Yeah, I'm so upset, man, because for Detroit last year, we were doing a car show and we were also doing a real estate seminar, but because of COVID and the pandemic capacity is so small, I can't do either the car show or the seminar in Detroit this year, which is pissing me off because I love Detroit,

but hopefully when they open things back up, we can get back down there. What did you say? What's Detroit's nickname? The D. The D? Yes. So you love the D? Shut up, man.

Why is everything about D with you? What is wrong with you? What's wrong with you? You don't love Detroit? No. Yes, I do. Do you love Detroit? I love Detroit.

Stop with that. Let me finish my sentence. All right. Many a man has said that in jail. I love the D. Let me finish my sentence. I hate y'all, man. Give us a positive note.

The positive note is simply this, man. Healing comes from taking responsibility to realize that it is you and no one else that creates your thoughts, your feelings, and your actions.
