Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.

Starting point is 00:02:00 Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, USA. Oh, good morning. Good morning, Angela Yee. Hey, good morning, DJ Envy. I thought Charlene was back today. I'm sure she'll be here in a minute. But it's Tuesday! And you know what today is, which is crazy?
Starting point is 00:02:30 R. Kelly's birthday? Today is R. Kelly's birthday. That is crazy. He's not having a great birthday. He's not having a great 2019. He's not having a great anything. So you're going to do an R. Kelly mix? Definitely not doing an R. Kelly mix.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Absolutely. I'm not playing any an R. Kelly mix? Definitely not doing an R. Kelly mix. Absolutely. I'm not playing any more R. Kelly music. Just, no, I'm not. Sorry. I had a mean set in the club with R. Kelly music, but hell no. All right. Well, there you go. Hell no.
Starting point is 00:02:58 And the bad thing is I felt like I missed so much in the docu-series with R. Kelly that I watched like half of it again last night. Yeah, it was, I mean, it's a six-part series. So I know a lot of people like binge watched it. So you might get up, go to the bathroom, come back, miss something. But it was a lot of information to take in. Yeah, it's too much. I don't want to talk about R. Kelly no more.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I really don't. I think he should get arrested. I think he should be in jail for a long time. I think his team should be in jail. I think anybody that was in that docuseries that didn't say anything when he was dealing with 14, 15, 16, and 17-year-olds should go to jail. Helping for his documents. Absolutely. They all should go to jail.
Starting point is 00:03:39 My goodness. All right. Well, there's some good news today. Really? That we're going to talk about in Front Page News. What's that? And that has to do with Cyntoia Brown, but we'll get to that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:49 I'm sure you've seen that because that was a huge story. Yeah, it's been going around everywhere. And I think there's a lot of people that really don't know the story, don't know what happened, don't know why she's in jail. But we'll get into that next. If you haven't, I want you to explain the full story because people are just like, okay, she's free, but I don't know why. But I think we should explain what happened, why she was arrested and and what it means for her to be getting out so early.
Starting point is 00:04:10 So we'll talk about that next and front page news. Anything else going on? Let's see what is going on now. I don't really have any great updates for you. All right. We'll get into that next. I'll tell you about the football scores. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Happy New Year. What's happening?
Starting point is 00:04:32 Let's get in some front page news. Now, yesterday, I don't know if you're a huge college football fan, but the Clemson Tigers beat the Alabama Crimson Tide 44-16. I mean, I should be happy about that because, you know, I'm South Carolina born and bred. But, see, I'm a Carolina Gamecock type of guy because, you know, that's my wife's – knock it off, Trump. That's my wife's alma mater. But I, you know, did radio in Columbia. We do radio in Columbia now on Hot 1039 in Columbia, South Carolina.
Starting point is 00:04:59 So I'm a Gamecock type of guy. The Crimson Tigers are our rivals. But salute to the Crimon Tigers, I guess. I know you'd have been more hype if the Cox would have won, but maybe next year. You know I'd have been in here screaming, go Cox. I know that. All right.
Starting point is 00:05:12 New year, same old Cox, baby. All right. What else we talking about, Yee? Well, let's talk about Cyntoia Brown being granted clemency. Now, Cyntoia Brown is a woman who was serving a life sentence for killing a man when she was 16 years old. He had actually hired her for sex. And she was a teen prostitute.
Starting point is 00:05:32 But they did have a documentary that came out in 2011. They showed a lot of different things that happened in that case. And they gave her a life sentence when she was a juvenile. They said she had to serve at least 51 years before even being eligible for parole consideration. And now she has finally been granted clemency by Governor Bill Haslam. That's one of his final things that he's doing before he leaves office.
Starting point is 00:05:54 We'll drop one of Clues' bombs for that, damn it. So a lot of people who don't know the story, in 2004, that's when Johnny Mitchell Allen actually paid her for sex and took her back to his house. At the time, prosecutors are saying that Santoya Brown shot him in the head while he was sleeping, stole money and guns, took his truck and fled the scene. Now, what she's saying is she was scared for her life because of how Allen was acting. She took that money because she had a pimp to pay. She couldn't return empty handed.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Her pimp was nicknamed Cutthroat. And so she was scared for her own life. She was only 16 years old at the time. They did find that she was competent to be tried as an adult. She was convicted of murder and robbery. That's when she was sentenced to life in prison. Yeah, no 16-year-old should have to go through that, especially if you look at the details of that situation.
Starting point is 00:06:40 And how many years did she serve so far? 15. 15 years. And even in the documentary, they said that she, it looks like she was suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome because her mother was drinking heavily while pregnant and
Starting point is 00:06:53 she did have a lot of issues the way that she grew up and all of that. So it's time for her to have a second chance. And I'm sure she's a totally different person than she was when she went in. But I'm sure that she still needs a lot of therapy and a lot of counseling amongst other things.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Right. What else you got, Ye? Let's talk about a meteorologist who lost his job. He's from Rochester, New York. And meteorologist Jeremy Capel, W-H-E-C, was reporting and this slip-up happened.
Starting point is 00:07:20 For tomorrow, sunshine, 60 degrees, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We're going to see temperatures in the low 60s. Now, he's got fire for that. Come on now. One more time. Play that one more time for me if you didn't catch it. For tomorrow, sunshine, 60 degrees, Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Starting point is 00:07:38 We're going to see temperatures in the low 60s. First of all, my goodness. King and Coon sound nothing alike. Nothing alike. Therefore, you have said that amongst your friends numerous times. Like, you have said it so much that you forgot his name was actually Martin Luther King. That was a joke
Starting point is 00:07:51 in his head. You can tell. All the time. What he said on Twitter, for the record, I've never uttered those words in my life. Oh, stop it. He also said it happened to ESPN's Mike Greensburg, only he got the opportunity to explain and apologize. And so... What happened with Mike Greensburg? I he got the opportunity to explain and apologize. And so... What happened with Mike Greensburg? I forgot that one.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Same exact thing. He said, Coon, is that a king? They said because of the, they had all kinds of like speech pathologists come on and they said the Lou and the, because of how things were, like how people be like... Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King. No. Because he was talking so fast. One more time. Let's hear it one more time and let's see what you think. Or tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:08:24 sunshine, 60 degrees, Martin Luther King, King and Coon. Martin Luther King. Even if he said Martin Luther King, I would get him. I've never said Coon James. I've never said T.I. the Coon of the South. That's never been a slip-up.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I guess what they're trying to say is that Martin Lou, the Lou and if you're talking about Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King. He corrected himself right away. I don't know if he purposely did that. Nah, that's a conversation you might have had. He said that before. That came out
Starting point is 00:08:54 too natural. Steve's our resident white guy in the room. Come here, Steve. Say Martin Luther King on air, Steve, one time. But say it fast. Real fast, go. Martin Luther King. Let me ask you a question, Steve. Have you ever been amongst your... King! Listen to me, sir. Have you ever been amongst your circle and heard
Starting point is 00:09:09 people make that joke like Martin Luther King Jr.? Actually, no. That's more of like a 60s thing, I think. Okay, got you. Well, the same exact thing happened to Mike Greensburg from ESPN. The same exact phrase, same exact mistake. Wow. Maybe they're neighbors. I don't know. Maybe they're best friends. Maybe they're friends, you know. Maybe they're speaking to each other on the phone a lot. I don't know. Maybe they're best friends. Maybe they're friends. Maybe they're speaking to each other
Starting point is 00:09:25 on the phone a lot. I don't know. But Martin Luther King. He did do a written statement where he said he felt horrible that he would. He said, I would never say anything like that. I was talking too fast and slurring my words. And he said, I'm very sorry that my stumble this morning gave so many people the wrong impression. Well, don't fall for the bait either, though.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Because, you know, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is right around the corner. Yes. And now that he's put that into the atmosphere, you're going to see a lot of that on that toxic place called social media. So don't fall for the bait and be going back and forth with trolls, because you know that's what they're going to do to bait you. My goodness. All right. Well, that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vet, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, bad morning. Maybe you just need to clear some things off your mind.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Or maybe you want to spread some positivity. My mind feels great. I have never felt so mentally healthy. Because, you know, I went on vacation on the 27th. I went to my happy place, which is the island of Anguilla. Dropped on a cruise bomb for Anguilla. And when I got on that plane on the 27th, I turned my phone off. And I did not turn my phone back on until this past Sunday night when I got back.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I have no idea what's going on. I'm so out of the loop. I still haven't been on social media, haven't posted. When I was away, I didn't take no calls, no texts, no emails, no social media, no nothing. So did you see Bird Box? I did watch Bird Box. I was on Netflix. That's not social media. I'm just saying, did you see Bird Box? I did watch Bird Box. That was on Netflix. That's not social media.
Starting point is 00:10:48 I'm just saying, did you watch R. Kelly? No. You didn't see R. Kelly's documentary? You'll see some things. Wow. Absolutely not. Happy belated born day too, Angelique.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So you better have the same energy. Hello, who's this? What's up Envy? What's up Trav? Oh my god
Starting point is 00:11:39 Trav! Hey! What's up? Hey Trav. What's up Superstar? What's going on Char? What's up, superstar? What's going on, Char? What's up, sis? How are you? I'm doing good. How are you living? I'm blessed, black, and highly favored,

Starting point is 00:12:01 I hope all y'all listen to me and Angelique's lip service episode, episode 173. We're waxed. We're waxing your ass. When was that? When did that come out? A couple weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:12:11 Two weeks ago, maybe? Yeah. Make sure you go support wax and support me, Charlamagne, and go listen. That sounds like a very odd pairing that I'm interested in hearing. It was very entertaining. You think wax is cute? Oh, boy. That's actually a question that Angelique asked me,
Starting point is 00:12:29 so you can hear it for yourself. Oh, okay. Good tease. Thank you, Trav. Good tease. Okay. But listen, can I make one comment? Because I made a New Year's resolution to myself.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I'm not going to be as shady in 2019. I like your shade, though. I like your shade. That doesn't help us. Yeah, but, um, so, like, I just make one comment about Kevin Hart before I start my New Year's resolution. Oh, boy. Yes.
Starting point is 00:12:51 So, listen, like, nobody cares, like, that, well, I, from the gay community, can care less about what Kevin Hart did seven years ago. Somebody just gotta say it, like, nobody cares about Kevin Hart hosting because he not funny. Like, he just not funny no more. I wouldn't say that, Trav. You can't say that. You're a Philly Trav. How you just going to throw your Philly guy under the bus like that?
Starting point is 00:13:10 Listen, Kevin Hart used to be so funny to me. Like, it used to be a point where he would come out and I would just start laughing because I knew he was going to be hilarious. But now I was like, no, Kevin, like, nobody cares about Philly. Now, I'm going to be honest with you. That's your fault. If you laughing at somebody before they even say anything, that's your fault. You just was being too much of a groupie.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Oh, he was just hot. A Philly groupie. You can't set your New Year's resolution January 8th, okay? You got to set the first. All right, y'all. Good to have y'all back. Bye. Bye.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Hello, who's this? Big Chocolate, the Toe Sucker. Welcome back, everybody. Happy New Year. Big Chocolate, what's up, man? Get it off your chest. Good, good, good. Two quick things.
Starting point is 00:13:47 I want Jamie Foxx to host the Grammys this year. James Corden is boring, not funny. He's got to go. Nobody watches his show. Two, I got a little something for Ang. Angela E. Angela E., in 2019, would you be mine? Could I suck your big toe over a nice glass of wine?
Starting point is 00:14:02 Wow. What do you think, dear? Which one would you? You know what? No. What kind of wine? I'm going one would you... You know what? No. What kind of wine? Just add, and here you go. I was going to ask what kind of wine, but you know what? No. What kind matters? Red or
Starting point is 00:14:13 white? Red, babe. Did I pick the right one? No. Alright. Oh, shoot. Goodbye. Happy New Year. He's a creep. He's a creep, man. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Starting point is 00:14:28 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. With your ass. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed,
Starting point is 00:14:39 we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's your boy. We don't know you. Yeah, I don't know who this is. It's your boy Franco, man. What y'all mean?
Starting point is 00:14:50 Y'all forgot about me already? Hey, Franco. What's up, Franco? Never remembered you to forget. I didn't even know what you called before, but good. Happy New Year to y'all, man. Yo, Charlamagne, stop taking all them damn vacations. Nope, that I won't do.
Starting point is 00:15:02 I'm actually going to take more. I don't care how much you think you deserve them. I don't care how much you think you deserve them, but I got to get it off my chest, man. You know, your boy's going in for a drug test today and your boy might fail, so. I can tell already. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Drop one of the clues, bubs, for my boy, Franco. No, Franco. Franco's hot right now. Hold on, hold on, hold on. We got to get serious. Are y'all N-word hiring up there? No, definitely. Franco's high right now. Hold on, hold on, hold on. We got to get serious. Are y'all N-word tiring up there? No. Definitely not you.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Listen, I love your, I love your, I love your, I don't know what I would call it, but I love it. You know what I mean? I love the fact that you're just accepting the reality of the situation. Are you on probation? No, I'm not. I'm just going to get fired. What kind of drugs you do? Franco.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Franco. Oh, now you're not our boy anymore? I'm going to be honest with you. I like Franco's attitude because that's my attitude in 2019. You just got to be willing to accept the things that you cannot control. And I mean, I guess you could control failing a drug test, but after you're high and you've already smoked, hey, you can't. James.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Hey, what's going on, man? Get it off your chest, James. It's my birthday. I share a birthday with that monster. Oh, R. Kelly. Yeah, you, R. Kelly, and Clue. Today's R's going on, man? Get it off your chest, James. It's my birthday. I share a birthday with that monster. Oh, R. Kelly. Yeah, you R. Kelly and Clue. Today's R. Kelly's born day? Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Come on, man. Stop it. Why does the universe do stuff like this? And today is man watching day as well. It's what day? It's Elvis' birthday too, though. I share it with a great. No, Elvis was messing with little girls too.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Elvis married, what's the girl's name? How old was her? Priscilla Presley. Yeah, she was like 15, 16 too, so knock it off. You always want to make the white person look cleaner for the same crime. Come on, guys. Ain't you cutting? Well, James, happy birthday, man.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I mean, I guess that's why you was calling. Happy birthday. Yeah, thanks, man. They went left. Thanks, man. Thanks. All right. Let the record show Elvis was 24 and Priscilla was 14.
Starting point is 00:16:44 That's crazy. Just want to throw that out there. Jamie. Hey, how are you guys doing this morning? We good, Jamie. Get it off your chest, mama. Okay, I want to apologize to my husband, Gordon. I tried to let him be blamed for what I did,
Starting point is 00:16:58 and I just want to say that I was wrong. We, of course, you guys know we live in Alaska, and when it gets negative, we have to plug our cars in. And there's an extension that you run from the car into the heating pole where you plug it in. But later on that night, he bought me a brand new car for
Starting point is 00:17:15 our anniversary. That's nice. And he asked me later on that night, Jamie, where is the extension to the plug so I can plug the car in? And I told him, don't ask me. I don't know. I I can plug the car in. And I told him, don't ask me. I don't know. I never unplugged the car. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:17:30 So what happened? I lost the plug when I backed out. Oh, my God. I must have lost it somewhere on the road. So you pulled off with the plug still in the car? The plug was in the car. Oh, my goodness. Well, some people run off on the plug.
Starting point is 00:17:43 You drove off on the plug, baby. Yeah, you pretty much did. It happens. I'm so sorry, Gordon. I love you. Oh, my goodness. Well, some people run off on the plug. You drove off on the plug, baby. Yeah, you pretty much did. It happens. I'm so sorry, Gordon. I love you. I'm so sorry. Is it hard to find a plug in Alaska?
Starting point is 00:17:51 I'm sure. No, it's not hard to find. They're just expensive. Okay. A plug is expensive. Okay. Yeah, but I mean, you got to find a plug
Starting point is 00:17:58 with better prices, boo. There you go. And now it's negative 47. So it's hard to get the plug. It's not necessary. Listen, find you a plug with better prices. Maybe it's somebody in a neighboring state got it for cheaper. I doubt.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Nobody plugs in their car but us. You know what you should do? You should call the local police station there and say, hey. I'm missing the plug. Yeah, me and my plug. You know, I don't have the same connect no more. I'm looking for a new plug who got cheaper prices. You think you know anybody?
Starting point is 00:18:26 Right, so I can go to jail because they'll think I'm crazy? You do sound a little crazy, though. But we love you, though. All right, I love you guys, too. You have a great morning. Nicole. Yes. Why you sound so mad, Nicole?
Starting point is 00:18:39 Because y'all were off for three weeks. I had nothing to listen to. I got a problem with y'all today. We had some best-ofs planned. You want us to work every day? We got to take a day off. No, y'all were gone for three weeks. I had nothing to listen to. I got a problem with y'all today. We had some best-ofs planned. You want us to work every day? We gotta take a day off. No, y'all were gone for three weeks. That was way too long. Wait till next year. I'm taking full.
Starting point is 00:18:53 All y'all need is one week. No. No. I tried to get through all day yesterday. I was so mad at y'all. I said I need to call in and let them know one week is all they need. Who do I need to talk to to get this put into plan? No, we don't need you messing up our vacation days.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I know, right? We about to hang up on you, Nicole. Now, Nicole, how much vacation do you get? One week. Call my boss and tell him I need three weeks, too. We actually have more than three weeks vacation time. We just don't use it. Well, just don't be gone that long no more for a while, okay?
Starting point is 00:19:22 All right, Nicole. Yeah, until next year. Goodbye. Well, this year. Thank you. The end more for a while, okay? All right, Nicole. Yeah, until next year. Goodbye. Well, this year. Thank you. The end of this year. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:19:31 If you need to vent, you can hit us up anytime. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to talk about Regina King's promise during the Golden Globe. She gave a really passionate speech. I'm going to tell you what she had to say. Also, Kim Kardashian. She's been getting all kinds of letters. We'll tell you who's been flooding her inbox.
Starting point is 00:19:46 All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Yes, Happy New Year. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Beyonce. It's time, time, time. She's sp to the rumors. Let's talk Beyonce. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, the first thing that happened when I came in this morning was someone said to me,
Starting point is 00:20:16 Hey, I love Beyonce. You know, she was in Target. For some reason, this made the news. Beyonce was spotted at a Target in L.A. She was wearing an orange jumpsuit and some sunglasses and just basically shopping in the aisles. Now, Chrissy Teigen actually posted that picture again, reposted it and said, Beyonce, you are so silly.
Starting point is 00:20:34 I can just send you my new knives because she does have her own cookware line that's exclusively available at Target. What would make them think that Beyonce wouldn't shop in Target? I don't know. Everybody has to go to Target. I definitely would think that. I figure she has personal assistants, personal shoppers. She's from Houston. She likes Popeyes.
Starting point is 00:20:49 I mean, her Popeyes is plant-based now, but she likes Popeyes. Like, why wouldn't she be in Target? Everybody loves Target, right? I just don't think you would see Beyonce. She might use the Postmates app and have somebody bring her what she needs. Target has replaced, I mean, a long time ago, Target replaced Walmart in my heart. And I have a very, you know, love and affection for Walmart. But Target is the spot.
Starting point is 00:21:07 And what was she looking for? I don't know. Mosey Moe t-shirts. You know that's what she was looking for. I thought they discontinued those. Yeah, they're good fellas now. 999. What the heck was she looking for?
Starting point is 00:21:14 I'm curious. Probably just want some Black Panther graphic tees. You know what I'm saying? She looked like she was in a pamper aisle or something like that. They might have been going on vacation. When was this? This was recently? Yeah, this was in LA.
Starting point is 00:21:22 They might be going on vacation. A late vacation, going to get some travel size stuff, you know what I'm saying? Or maybe she wanted some snacks. She has an assistant. I'm sure she has several. I could be like, go get me these travel-sized toothbrushes. She wants to feel normal. Walk around talking with big-ass Julius, you know what I'm saying? Collecting toothpaste. My goodness.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Alright, now Regina King, she gave one of the most passionate speeches at the Golden Globes, and it inspired a lot of people. Here's what she said. I'm going to use my platform right now to say in the next two years, everything that I produce, I am making a vow. And it's going to be tough to make sure that everything that I produce, that is 50 percent women and I just challenge anyone out there who is in a position of power not just in our industry in all industries do the same that's the beauty of being a producer that's the beauty
Starting point is 00:22:12 of being in a position of power you can hire who the hell you want she was getting her first ever golden globe for best supporting actress for her performance in if Beale Street could talk so congratulations to Regina King we didn't talk much about the golden globes yesterday because we talked a lot about R. Kelly, but the big winners for the night, Bohemian Rhapsody won for Best Motion Picture. Anybody see that? No. Nope. And also for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama.
Starting point is 00:22:34 I heard it was good. Did Billy Porter win anything for a post? I know he was nominated for a couple. Yeah, I don't see him. I have to recheck all of these winners, but no, I didn't see that on here. But, yeah. Alright, so make sure you guys, I didn't see that movie yet,
Starting point is 00:22:50 but now it makes me feel like I have to do, have to watch that. Alright, now everybody's concerned about their mental health. Now, Post Malone put up a message on his Twitter. He said, if y'all are actually my fans and friends and love me and want me to be mentally stable, can y'all please let me live? I'm trying my best here.
Starting point is 00:23:06 That's all I can do. Well, first things first, Post Malone, don't take that to social media. Because the best thing that I did for my mental health, you know, in the past couple of weeks was when I went on vacation to Anguilla, I turned my phone off. Shut down. I turned my phone off when I got on the plane on the 27th and did not turn it back on until this past Sunday when I got back. I didn't check no calls, no texts, no emails, no social media, no nothing.
Starting point is 00:23:26 I cannot tell you how mentally healthy I feel right now. Well, and Post Malone had a huge year last year as far as his record sales and everything, but he gets a lot of criticism as well. That's why you got to disconnect. Y'all let Post Malone live. And now Hailey Bieber, who's also Justin Bieber's wife, she put up a post about stepping into 2019. She said, I want to be more open.
Starting point is 00:23:44 I want to be more open about the things I struggle with and be able to be more vulnerable. I'm 22 years old. And the truth is, no matter how amazing life may look from the outside, I struggle. I'm insecure. I'm fragile. I'm hurting. I have fears. I have doubts.
Starting point is 00:23:57 I have anxiety. I get sad. I get angry. I've had more days than I can count where I found myself scrolling through Instagram, comparing myself, comparing my looks, feeling like I'm not good enough, feeling like I lack so many things and really struggling to be confident. Get off the gram. That is what is one of the major sources of so many people's anxiety. They don't even realize it.
Starting point is 00:24:16 Get off social media. Disconnect every now and then. Take a break for your brain. And let's talk about Kim Kardashian. Now she is getting all kinds of letters. They said thousands every single day. And that's from inmates who are hoping that she will help them out because in Toya Brown just got clemency. A lot of people actually helped to make that happen. But Kim Kardashian was very vocal about it as well. So right now within the prison system,
Starting point is 00:24:40 they're calling her the princess of prison reform. Well, that's a big shift in the letters she used to get from inmates, I'm sure. I'm sure about that one. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right. Now we got front page news. Next, what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about Cyntoia Brown and her clemency.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Okay. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's Tuesday. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:25:05 We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What's happening? Happy New Year. Let's get in some front page news. And Charlamagne is back. When do we stop saying Happy New Year? You should have stopped already.
Starting point is 00:25:16 After Chinese New Year. When is that? February 5th, I believe. All right. That's a long time. All right. Now, let's get in the front page news. Last night in football, the Clemson Tigers beat the Alabama Crimson Tides 44-16.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Salute to Clemson. You know what I'm saying? I'm from South Carolina all day. Even though I am a Gamecock fan and Clemson is our rivals, my wife's alma mater is the University of South Carolina Gamecocks. Dropping the clues bombs for the 803. But salute to Clemson. Hey, we know you would have been super excited if those cocks won.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Listen, you can't beat my cocks. Go cocks, baby. Go cocks. What else are you talking about, Yee? Well, let's talk about your tax refunds. Now, Taylor, who works with us, the main thing she wanted to know about the government shutdown is am I going to get my taxes back? Nah.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Well, 12% of IRS staff is expected to continue working through the government shutdown. So you can get your taxes, but we don't know when that's going to happen because there's not a lot of people there doing that work. So it's still a government shutdown? Yeah. Yes. It's been since December 22nd. It's going to be nasty flying in a little bit because TSA
Starting point is 00:26:17 don't get paid. A lot of people are calling out sick. Some people are calling out sick. They're not getting paid. So would you keep going to work if you didn't get paid? No. So who's going to be patting us down, checking us, making sure we ain't got bombs, guns, knobs, and all that stuff? All right, now's the time to get that work through, though. Let's see. Okay, the government shut down.
Starting point is 00:26:30 You can get them keys through, though. Don't listen to him. What else we got here? Do you get a back pay, though? You should get a back pay. Hell yeah, if you weren't. Okay. Now, Cyntoia Brown has been granted clemency.
Starting point is 00:26:40 If you don't know who Cyntoia Brown is, she's serving a life sentence, or she was, for killing a man who bought her for sex. She was only 16 years old at the time, and she's finally been granted clemency after serving 15 years in prison. The governor did actually grant that clemency after careful consideration, he said, of what is a tragic and complex case. What happened was she was a juvenile at the time. She was ordered to serve at least 51 years before even being eligible for parole. A lot of people have been asking for her clemency because, according to prosecutors, they said she shot Johnny Mitchell Allen in the head while he was sleeping.
Starting point is 00:27:17 That's when she stole his money, took his guns, took his truck, and fled the scene. Clearly, though, she's saying that she was scared. It was a situation where she feared for her life. He was acting very crazy and she didn't want to return empty-handed to her pimp. Her pimp was nicknamed Cutthroat. Young lady born with fetal alcohol syndrome,
Starting point is 00:27:36 never stood a chance, forced into the sex trade. You know, those events happened. Raped multiple times a day. Exactly. You know, 15 years in jail, that sounds pretty fair. You know, now years in jail, that sounds pretty fair. You know, now I think that she needs to get help. Like, she needs to get therapy. She needs to get treatment.
Starting point is 00:27:51 She needs to see a counselor. Like, you gotta help her get back on her feet the right way. Absolutely. And she's also been mentoring troubled youth. She's also been working on her college degree. She got her associate's degree while she was in prison. And she's been working toward her bachelor's degree as well. So she's turned her life around in prison.
Starting point is 00:28:04 She's made the most out of a terrible situation. Yes. Mm-hmm. All right, now a meteorologist has gotten fired, and that's because he used a racial slur live on the air. Let's see if you think this warranted him getting fired. For tomorrow, sunshine, 60 degrees, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We're going to see temperatures in the low 60s.
Starting point is 00:28:26 See, that's what happens when you're sitting around with your white homeboys all the time. Yeah. And you keep calling him Martin Luther Coon all these years. But then you forget you got a job. Yeah. Where you actually got to go on there and say his name. You know what I mean? He did that before.
Starting point is 00:28:37 You said Coon so much that when you see the word King at the end of a black man's name or in a black man's name, you say Coon. He said that it could have come out as Boone, Toon, Loon, or any other random, accidental linguistic fusion. He did apologize, and he did say that he's never used that word in his life before, and that it was just an error.
Starting point is 00:28:58 He also pointed out that ESPN host Mike Greensburg made that same error about 2010. Nope. And he managed to keep his job. Maybe they're friends. Nobody has ever said Coon James. Nobody has ever said T.I. is the Coon of the South. Nobody has ever said Bud Wise is the Coon of beers. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:13 Nobody mixes up King and Coon. That just does not happen. They're saying because of Luther. Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King. I never said Luther Coon, Joss. You know what I'm saying? This guy. What are we talking about here? That doesn't happen. Well, it was a bad slip of the tongue, if that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Luther, I got to listen. Luther don't make me say Coon. They're not even close. They're not even a little bit. Nope. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Front Page News. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Now, let's talk Pastor John Gray. He's been up here, what, a couple times? A couple times, him and his wife. Now, he recently was at church, and he was talking about his crazy 2018. 2018 tried to kill me, Pastor Q. And the truth is, some of the stuff that tried to kill me, I helped. Some stuff wasn't the devil. Some stuff was you. It'd be great if we shouted for that, too, because when you shout for that,
Starting point is 00:30:03 what you're saying is I take personal responsibility The attack on my life was not just for me. It was a supernatural demonic attack Designed to not just kill my body but to kill the anointing that was in me and that was on me and that was prophesied over me, you know I believe in the seven clear functions of the mind and one of the number one function is choice to do and think right. So you do have choices. I'm blaming everything on the devil. Well, we got more.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Let's see a part, you know, more. What are you talking about? I've never had a year where I wanted to give up. I literally thought about how I could end my life and still get to heaven. And somehow my kids would not be scarred. But there was no way that I could figure out how to do it. There is no perfect pastor in the days of this facade of super perfection from the pulpit is over i wanted to end it i almost lost
Starting point is 00:30:52 my marriage lost my family the devil has tried everything this year all right what is pastor john gray trying to say i'm lost right now i'm out of the loop what's happening is that he cheated on his wife and they managed to patch things up. Oh. Now, here's his wife. But the devil don't want it with me. I put scripture on that strange woman. I put scripture on that strange woman. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Okay. All right. I'm lost. I need to hear this in context. Well, it sounds like, I guess, allegedly, he cheated on his wife, and they worked through it, and his wife put the scripture on the strange woman. The scripture hands? Did she beat her up or something?
Starting point is 00:31:31 Maybe she put the hands of God on him. I don't know. What does scripture mean? She beat her with a Bible? He also got his wife a nice new car, which people were talking about over the holidays as well. A Lamborghini truck, yeah. I didn't understand why people were upset about that. Y'all do know Pastor John Gray has a reality show on his own and he writes books, right?
Starting point is 00:31:46 He has his own money. He gets bread outside of the church. He had enough money to where he told people from his congregation to come up and actually take money out of the collection plate. Take what you need for yourself. Remember that? So I don't understand what was the problem with him buying his wife that Lamborghini.
Starting point is 00:32:02 And if he cheated, drop one of Clues Bob's for him. You know why? But sometimes the Lord will move you to do things that you need to do. Okay, not saying that you don't.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Whatever it's going to take to get that smile at first. That's what I'm saying. Not saying materialize it. Just trying to get back in. Superficial things like that, you know, help correct the cheating.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Nah, it doesn't. You know, but hey. But. Whatever helps. You got to do what you got to do. Oh, man. So let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:32:26 So we got push presents and cheat presents. Hey, man. Hey. Do you still follow Pastor John Gray or would you still follow a pastor if you know that your pastor cheated? Yes. Why wouldn't I? He's a human being. But some people feel like, you know, he is a pastor.
Starting point is 00:32:41 He is one person that shouldn't be doing the stuff that we be doing. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. cheated. He got a whole day next week. What are we talking about? Like, people aren't perfect. I agree with you. That actually makes me relate to my pastor more. Some people feel like he's the pastor.
Starting point is 00:32:58 He should be speaking the word and teaching and preaching the word. And then on the side. It's probably how you handle it after. The flesh is weak. But let's open up the phone lines. We all fall short. 800-585-1051. And when did the cheating happen? I don't know. Black men don't cheat. They don't. Clearly
Starting point is 00:33:13 it just happened because he said this last year has been tough for him and he was suicidal and everything. Clearly it just happened because that Lambo was brand new. I'm calling him. I'm not talking about my guy without calling him. Let me text my guy. All right. 805-851051. Let's talk to you on the phones.
Starting point is 00:33:29 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Gee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking Pastor John Gray. Now, allegedly, he cheated on his wife, and he
Starting point is 00:33:45 bought her a Lamborghini, I guess, to get her back or to win her back over. And, well, let's play the audio of him talking in church. 2018 tried to kill me, Pastor Q. And the truth is, some of the stuff that tried to kill me, I helped. Some stuff wasn't the devil. Some stuff was you.
Starting point is 00:34:01 It'd be great if we shouted for that, too, because when you shout for that, what you're saying is I take personal responsibility. The attack on my life was not just for me. It was a supernatural demonic attack designed to not just kill my body, but to kill the anointing that was in me and that was on me and that was prophesied over me. He also said this. I've never had a year where I wanted to give up. I literally thought about how I could end my life and still get to heaven, and somehow my kids would not be scarred,
Starting point is 00:34:33 but there was no way that I could figure out how to do it. There is no perfect pastor, and the days of this facade of super perfection from the pulpit is over. I wanted to end it. I almost lost my marriage, lost my family. The devil has tried everything this year. And then we have audio of his wife speaking. But the devil don't want it with me. I put scripture on that strange woman.
Starting point is 00:34:55 I just really want to know what put the scripture on that strange woman means. Did she beat her with a Bible? Did she lay the hands of God on her? Like, what does that mean? Put the scriptures on that strange woman. I don't know. So we're asking 800-585-1051, do you still or would you still follow a pastor even though he cheated on his wife?
Starting point is 00:35:15 So that's what we're asking. Me, myself, yes, I would still follow him. We're not perfect. Nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes, and it's how you handle those mistakes. And it seems like he's being a stand-up individual. He's facing his wrongs, and he's facing it face-on.
Starting point is 00:35:29 So I absolutely positively will still follow. Here's the thing. I don't follow pastors. I follow God. All a pastor is is a messenger of God. And I can rock with anyone, as you just said, Envy, who admits their mistakes, who admits their faults, and who is simply trying to do better. You know, I just need to know when this cheating happened.
Starting point is 00:35:49 You know what I'm saying? I think it was recent. The Lambo was pretty recent. I just feel like... And he's talking about this all happened in the past year. That's when he was feeling suicidal. And his wife and him were talking about him sleeping on the couch and the two of them arguing and being on the brink of divorce. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Listen, I'm not one to judge. I mean, I think that pastor grade's a little too old for that. You know what I'm saying? There's a scripture that talks about putting the ways of childish things behind you when you are a grown man. And I think that, you know, when you reach a certain age, like, you know, I'm 40 years old and I'm proud to say that I have not had any infidelities in about three years. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:36:22 And I know that I should not be, you know, applauded for doing what I'm supposed to be doing. Okay? But that's big. I've been, me and my woman have been together for 20 years. She's done dirt.
Starting point is 00:36:32 I've done dirt. You know what I'm saying? But I've been clean. And ever since I've been clean, my life has been amazing. There you go. All right? And, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:39 I think Pastor John Gray should, as a man, be a little bit more advanced than that. But I'm not, you know, disappointed in him for making a mistake. Well, Pastor John and Evanta Gray also have a relationship conference that's going to be happening in February. No.
Starting point is 00:36:52 From the 7th to the 9th, they're hosting a relationship conference. They can have that. No, he should be attending that. He should not be hosting it. I guess he's talking about his relationship, what he did that was wrong, and how he's trying to fix it. There's a lot of men that can go through that and understand and get some advice. I'm trying to call my guy. I like Pastor John Gray.
Starting point is 00:37:09 He's a friend of mine. You know what I'm saying? I like Pastor John Gray a lot. I actually just texted him. He had to hit me back, and I don't know if he's up because it is early. It's early there. I would love to give him the chance to speak on this himself. I know.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Pastor Gray is like, who is this strange number texting you at this hour? Nah. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. He probably changed his number, bro. No, no, no. The last time I'm looking at my text right now, the last time we talked was December 18th. He probably changed his number after that.
Starting point is 00:37:30 Nah, he didn't change it. Shut down the car, the number changed. Nah, that's my guy. I got a few passes on speed. John Gray is one of them. Salute to Stephen Furtick. Salute to Carl Lynch. Salute to Bishop T.D. Jakes.
Starting point is 00:37:40 All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. We'll take one call. We have Carl on the line. Carl, good morning. Morning. Carl, now you said if you found out your pastor cheated, you wouldn't follow him anymore? Yes, sir. I found out a man of God cheated, man.
Starting point is 00:37:53 I can't follow that. God, preaching the word, you know what I mean? I feel like you should stick to the word. So you don't follow Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? You won't be participating in no activities on his day next week? I mean, I wasn't following him then. I wasn't allowed to.
Starting point is 00:38:10 You know what I mean? This guy. This guy. No doubt. This guy. We didn't mean when we said follow. We don't mean on Twitter or Instagram, bro. Or Facebook.
Starting point is 00:38:18 You just don't take anything that he says seriously? But, like, I mean, I believe Martin Luther King and I follow what he was doing, you know, marching and all that. Like, I see him in for a second. But, like, I mean, I believe Martin Luther King, and I follow what he was doing, you know, marching and all that. Like, I see him in a different light. Whatever he did with Corrado, man, that got nothing to do with me. So why can't you feel like that about Pastor John Gray? Because Martin Luther King was an increase in the word, man, about adultery. Pastor, you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:38:41 Like, growing up in a church, you know, they teach you that. Like, that is wrong. Well, that's his opinion. He doesn't want to. He right. He don't want to follow him on social media no more. I get it. They say that is wrong.
Starting point is 00:38:51 And when you see the man that's telling you that is wrong doing it, he makes him look like a fraud. You know what I mean? I get you. I can see the hypocrisy. All right. Well, 800-585-1051. Would you still follow your pastor even though you know he cheated?
Starting point is 00:39:03 Would you? 800-585-1051. We'll take your calls pastor even though you know he cheated? Would you? 800-585-1051. We'll take your calls when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 00:39:14 We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you join us, we're talking Pastor John Gray. Now, allegedly, he bought his wife a Lamborghini to get her back. He said in 2018, it was a tough year for him. You know, it was very tough. He dealt with a lot. Suicide. He got about taking his own life. That's right.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Almost divorcing. Sleeping on the couch. Almost getting divorced with his wife. So it was a lot going on. So. I just, I just, you know, I've been disconnected from social media. I still haven't really logged on to social media.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Is this why he bought his wife the Lamborghini truck? That's what they're saying. Who is dating? He never said that. He never said that. But people are implying. People are implying. Okay, that explains why.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Assuming. I thought it was her birthday or something. Yeah, it was. It was. Oh, okay. It was her birthday. Listen, I don't have a problem with it. The reason I don't have a problem with it is because people make mistakes.
Starting point is 00:39:54 And like I said, I don't follow. You don't have a problem because you've been there. I've been there, but I don't. I've been there. But also, I don't follow pastors. I follow God. So would you be at the Align conference they're doing about relationships? I don't think that he should be hosting that. I think he should be attending it.
Starting point is 00:40:07 I think he definitely should be hosting it. The fact that he cheated and admitted it and is dealing with it and how he's dealing with it, because what he went through, a lot of people are going through. I've been through it, you know what I mean? I don't know what to do. So the fact that there's somebody that can say, you know what? He's been, he's went through it. He's going through it.
Starting point is 00:40:23 You know, there is a way out. There is a way to get my wife back, possibly, you know what? He's been, he's went through it. He's going through it. You know, there is a way out. There is a way to get my wife back, possibly, you know? So I think it's a great thing. I will say the one mistake that men constantly make when we cheat, we think just because we over it, because we never was on it. Right. We think our wife's over it. Never.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Exactly. Anything could bring it up at any given moment. Yeah, so that's why I don't be all for the, you know, the conferences and the, like, let's go talk about it, because she may not be ready to discuss. Listen, I called Pastor John Gray during the break, because I had texted him and he hit me back, but he was still asleep when I called him.
Starting point is 00:40:51 I could hear the grogginess in his voice. First thing he said was, man, let me talk to my wife first before I call into the show. He could have rolled over and said, babe, but he probably had to walk upstairs. I don't know what it was. He just said, let me talk to my wife first. So that lets me know that she may be on something else. They still going to do it.
Starting point is 00:41:09 So I'm saying I don't know about all these conferences and all kinds of stuff. Because you go through it privately, and then now you go through it publicly. Yeah. And push your T-voices. Monique. What's up, Indy? Monique, what's up? Now, you still following your cheating pastor?
Starting point is 00:41:21 What happened? I surely am. I go to church every Sunday. When I don't go, I watch it on Vine. And he was a cheater? He got caught cheating? I mean, everybody's flesh like Charlemagne said. You know, at the end of the day, it's not right.
Starting point is 00:41:34 They took vows, but he's flesh. I mean, he's not going to make me get into heaven by him seeing. It's my faith and who I choose to follow and what I choose to do. Because I went to a gay pastor's church. So his beliefs weren't drawn on me because he was gay. I'm not going to be gay. Like, you know, it's just what you choose to follow. And John Gray's
Starting point is 00:41:55 a great man. He's a great pastor. He has did a lot for Relentless even before I started going there. So what he's doing in his life has nothing to do with what I choose to follow and what I choose to believe and what Christ has did for me. So you're not going to turn your back on your pastor?
Starting point is 00:42:12 No, I'm not. I'm going to go church Monday at 11 o'clock. Okay. Yeah, I mean, that's why you got to follow God and not people because, I mean, the word is still the word regardless. You'll always be disappointed if you follow people. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:42:23 At some point. Hello, who's this? Yo, my name is Rondell. Rondell. So we're asking, would you still follow your pastor if he found out he cheated on his wife? I mean, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Who would be the judge?
Starting point is 00:42:33 Another man. You know what I'm saying? I mean, if you really think about it, you go to church and you think that your pastor's perfect or next to Christ and you go in the church, go to Rome. That's real. Right. You know what I'm saying? He's got one job and that's to deliver the word,
Starting point is 00:42:45 but you know what I'm saying? Nobody's perfect. Okay. All right. Thank you. No problem, man. All right. Well, 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:42:52 We're taking your calls. Would you still follow your pastor if you knew he cheated on his wife? That's the question we're asking. Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:43:01 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking about Pastor John Gray. We're asking 800-585-1051, would you still follow your pastor if he found out he cheated on his wife? Now, Pastor John Gray said he had a tough 2018. Let's hear him in church. 2018 tried to kill me, Pastor Q.
Starting point is 00:43:23 And the truth is, some of the stuff that tried to kill me, I helped. Some stuff wasn't the devil. Some stuff was you. It'd be great if we shouted for that, too, because when you shout for that, what you're saying is I take personal responsibility. The attack on my life was not just for me. It was a supernatural demonic attack designed to not just kill my body but to kill the anointing that was in me and that was on me and that was prophesied over me and then he said this I've never had a year where I wanted to give up I literally thought
Starting point is 00:43:55 about how I could end my life and still get to heaven and somehow my kids would not be scarred but there was no way that I could figure out how to do it there is no perfect pastor in the days of this facade of super perfection from the pulpit is over. I wanted to end it. I almost lost my marriage, lost my family. The devil has tried everything this year. Well, his wife also had something to say at church, and this is what she said. But the devil don't want it with me.
Starting point is 00:44:22 I put scripture on that strange woman. Well, in the Bible, Genesis chapter 2, verse 36, 5, The devil don't want it with me. I put scripture on that strange woman. Well, in the Bible, Genesis chapter 2, verse 36, 5, it says black men don't cheat. But we also know the flesh is weak and sometimes we fall short. And, you know, the word is still the word, even if the person delivering the word has made a mistake or two. So, you know, I don't I don't I don't whether or not Pastor John Gray is right or wrong. That's not up for me to determine, you know? And like, that's why I would still go to his church and I would still listen to him because I follow God, not people anyway. Right.
Starting point is 00:44:52 All right. Well, hello. Who's this? Katie. Hey, Katie. Good morning. Good morning. Would you still follow your pastor if you know he cheated on his wife?
Starting point is 00:44:59 Yes, I would. Why? Because I feel like Christians are human, and that can happen to anyone, whether they're a pastor or not. And I feel like as long as they learn from their mistakes and they move on from it, especially if their wife forgives them, I feel like why can't we as a congregation move on? What if he had a baby by somebody else? Would that matter?
Starting point is 00:45:24 Yeah, that actually would matter. Right. Why would that matter? Hello? Katie? Well, Katie's gone. But you know what? You know, thinking about it, I would say maybe probably about 10, 15 years ago,
Starting point is 00:45:37 I would feel differently because I would feel like, and this is just me, that a pastor or a preacher or a reverend was on another level than us. I really would think that. I would think that they would live by a different way of us. I get it. Now I look at it differently. Yeah, that's because we kind of gave our pastors and our messengers of God these God-like complexes. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:45:59 We looked at them as something greater than what they were, but all they are are men. They're men that are messengers of God. Right. And that's why the moral of the story is follow God and not people, because the flesh is weak. Sometimes we fall short, and the word is still the word, even if the person delivering it makes a mistake. And by the way, I don't like anyone who comes off as too perfect anyway. I want you to have made some mistakes.
Starting point is 00:46:18 I want you to have had some flaws, and I want you to use those experiences to deal with your flock, because I certainly believe that sometimes things happen to you so God can work through you. Now, what if he cheated, left his wife for somebody else, a random pastor that you were following? What if he cheated, left his wife for another woman, and then wasn't trying to give her nothing? Would that matter to you? Maybe he left his wife because his wife didn't know God. Maybe his wife didn't know God. All right? Maybe his wife didn't have God in her heart.
Starting point is 00:46:47 I think it depends on what the situation is. Yeah, but really. They're working through it. They're working through it. That's the main thing. But follow God, not people. That's the best advice I can give anybody. All right.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Now we got rumors on the way. Ah, well, yeah. Let's talk about these investigations with R. Kelly. I mean, there's still some more fallout from that. His Facebook page that he had called Surviving Lies. What happened to that page? We'll tell you more details. Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it
Starting point is 00:47:12 locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. The Rumor Report. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Kevin Hart on his podcast is a show straight from the heart. Apologize again to the LGBTQ community.
Starting point is 00:47:31 Now, if you haven't heard or seen these apologies, here it is. I will say this, and I want to make this very clear, and I'm going to say it just in case you guys try to take this shit and chop it up. I will rebuttal with this piece right here once again kevin hart apologizes for his remarks that hurt members of the lgbtq community i apologize at the end of the day that's all he can do but always remember the best apology is change behavior but we have to stop back and like culture Hasn't changed dramatically and a lot of things People got away with five or ten years ago
Starting point is 00:48:08 Are unacceptable now but I don't care who it is You shouldn't have to keep apologizing for your past mistakes Just apologize and continue to be better It doesn't make it right but like you said he apologized You know he apologized a couple of times Well he said he thought it was okay To talk like that because that's how we talk To one another he said now he understands
Starting point is 00:48:24 That it is wrong Why are we acting like that because that's how we talk to one another. He said now he understands that it is wrong. Why are we acting like that wasn't the case for real, though? Like, it was in all the music. You know how many songs had that word in there? From your favorite rapper? Yeah, absolutely. Like, how popular was No Homo in New York City when Cam'ron and them were saying it forever? It wasn't just Cam'ron.
Starting point is 00:48:41 It was the whole culture at that time. That's why people don't want to do things like host the Oscars because they do bring up every little thing that's ever happened. So for him, I guess that was something that was a dream of his, and then you get put under this crazy spotlight at that time. It's crazy people are holding people to higher standards than you hold your president of the United States of America. So now let's talk about this R. Kelly docuseries and all of the aftermath
Starting point is 00:49:07 after the six-part docuseries aired on Lifetime. Now, police are investigating threats that R. Kelly's manager made to Joycelyn Savage's family. According to a new police report that The Blast got, R. Kelly's manager, Don Russell, is still trying to threaten and intimidate people that are connected to his client's alleged victims. Joycelyn Savage is supposedly living under R. Kelly's control. That's currently happening right now. The other girl as well, too, right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:34 Asriel. Asriel, yeah. Now, Joycelyn Savage, her father, the police were there while the manager called and threatened that they would be forced to distribute information that would ruin him, his reputation, businesses and family because it would show him to be a liar. Well, that's pretty normal. I've gotten threats from R. Kelly's team over the years. They did say that R. Kelly would film a lot of things that they and part of the reason why he would film himself having sex was because that was a form of blackmail, that he would threaten to put these tapes out or threaten to put certain things that they set out and force him to say things so that he could use it later on.
Starting point is 00:50:10 By the way, if you film yourself peeing on a 14-year-old girl, the only person you're blackmailing is yourself. Yeah, that came back to bite him in the ass with that one. You think? All right, now here is Joycelyn's father, who had this to say to his daughter after the docuseries aired. Joycelyn, this is your father. I know you watched the documentary yesterday.
Starting point is 00:50:31 I hope you watched the documentary yesterday. I hope you call your mother, call your daddy, call your sister. We love you so much. We have not heard from you. And I want to say, daddy will always love you so much. We have not heard from you. And I want to say, Daddy will always love you. No matter what the circumstances is, I will always be here for you.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I don't think she's seen the documentary. If you've seen the documentary, you know that R. Kelly pulled the cable out. So I'm sure none of those girls seen that. Yeah, and you can't even shoot up the house because your girl's in it. You know what I mean? Yeah, R. Kelly had a Facebook page
Starting point is 00:51:04 that was called Surviving Lies, and that page has been pulled off of Facebook after they posted alleged text messages between R. Kelly and one of the young females where she keeps calling him daddy. According to a spokesperson for Facebook, they said the page violated our community standards and has been removed. We do not tolerate bullying or sharing others' private contact information and take action on content that violates our policies as soon as we are aware.
Starting point is 00:51:29 You know, it's interesting, too. R. Kelly and his team, they will make threats now. I mean, you know. Anybody threat to you? Oh, absolutely. What'd they say? I mean, they've been making threats to me for years, but I remember last year, I think it was after they reported he was keeping the girls in, like, the coat,
Starting point is 00:51:41 and I gave him the donkey of the day, and I told everybody to go to his page and hashtag PP14. It was like, you know, R. Kelly would like for you to meet him at a hotel. Oh, he's going to pee on you. Like, what? Shut up. He was like, he'd like to meet you at a hotel.
Starting point is 00:51:53 He just wants to talk. Like, what do I look like? Yeah, that doesn't sound like a great idea. Exactly. What do I look like? Now, Santa McGee is the first person that he targeted on that Facebook page, and they actually spoke to her at TMZ.
Starting point is 00:52:08 And she is challenging R. Kelly to take a lie detector test live if he wants to prove that he's actually telling the truth about these things. Another person who has commented is his ex-wife, Andrea Kelly. Now, they had posted this video of her from a few years ago on her Instagram, actually dancing and singing. Yes, that is my baby daddy playing in the background. What y'all about? I didn't understand that one. Everything that she went through with him and the other females and his kids. I don't understand that one.
Starting point is 00:52:45 Yeah, I would think she can't listen to any Bar Kelly music. I mean, nothing he wrote, nothing he's in, nothing. Well, she posted, thank God for his grace, guidance, love, and deliverance. I celebrate the women I am today. Though someone won't expose the pain-filled, scared, abused woman I was, stop. I am no longer afraid, no longer willing to silence my pain and sugarcoat the abuse I endured because of how my abuser and his legal team were threatening to come against me.
Starting point is 00:53:13 If I didn't choose wisely, no more. Don't speak about my growth or journey, especially if you have never been abused. And for the ones that have endured my pain, have been in the place I was in years ago as in my past, you're not alone. From covering bruises and saying you bumped into the counter to telling his co-workers he's a wonderful provider and a good man to avoid a beating for saying the opposite.
Starting point is 00:53:32 I was you. I want you to know you don't have to cover for your abuser anymore. Yeah, I mean, she's absolutely right. But I still think, you know, her being on her Instagram playing one of his songs is sending the wrong message because, you know, you're still normalizing his behavior because that music is what gave him power. That music is what gave him influence. That music is what gave him money to be able to manipulate those women.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Right, and this was some years ago. This wasn't like she just posted this. Oh, that wasn't a new video. No, it's not new. Oh. This is an old video. I mean, I don't listen to his sexual music because I think it's impossible to separate the art from the artist
Starting point is 00:54:01 when it comes to R. Kelly. Do you listen to songs like Happy Me? You listen to some of it? It's really one song I like from R. Kelly. Do you listen to songs like Have You? You listen to some of it? It's really one song I like from R. Kelly, which is the I Wish remix, because it reminds me of my homeboy Drell Garnett, who was killed a few years ago. That's the sad thing about it. A lot of his music is
Starting point is 00:54:13 a certain time in your life. I remember Steppin' in the Name of Love. I was dancing with my firstborn, Madison, and we were dancing around the house. That's how I remember that song. I don't listen to none of his sexual stuff, because you can't separate the art from the artist because a lot of his art is based off the crimes he was committing.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Well, I don't listen to any of it. Like, he wrote Age Ain't Nothin' But a Number for a 15-year-old girl, Aaliyah, rest in peace, that he married. That's a little nuts. Not to mention the whole Pied Piper thing, which I've been put y'all on to. Pied Piper was a guy who used music to lure a bunch of kids out of a village
Starting point is 00:54:45 never to be seen again. Right. So, you know. As they call them, hiding in plain sight. All right, I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor report. All right, thank you,
Starting point is 00:54:53 Miss Yee. Charlemagne. Yes. Who you giving that donkey to? You know, there's a meteorologist in Rochester, New York who just tried to hide
Starting point is 00:55:00 his bigotry in plain sight. That didn't turn out too well for him. All right. Yes. We'll get to that next Keep It Locked. It's The Breakfast Club. All right. Yes. We'll get to that next. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 00:55:06 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's going to be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkeys. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Deli?
Starting point is 00:55:20 Absolutely. I have become Donkey of the Day. It's The Breakfast Club, bitches. You're a donkey. Yeah, it's Donkey of the Day. It's a breakfast club, bitches. You're a donkey. Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, January 8th. Today is Tuesday, right? Yes. Today is January 8th, right?
Starting point is 00:55:32 Yep. Okay, Tuesday, January 8th, first live donkey of the year goes to a meteorologist in Rochester, New York named Jeremy Capel. Now, do I have to tell y'all what a meteorologist is? It's not like Young Jeezy ever said on Boys in the Hood. The meteorologist says that it's a light chance of snow. He used the term most commonly used, which is weatherman. Okay, that's what a meteorologist is, a weatherman. You know those people who come on your local news every day and just guess what the weather is going to be.
Starting point is 00:55:57 You know those guys and gals who get it right sometimes and they get it wrong a lot of the time. I'm going to be honest, I don't listen to meteorologists because a lot of what they say goes over my head. Okay. When they say things like it's a high chance for precipitation. All right. Sometimes my brain hears it wrong.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Okay. What do you mean it's a high chance for participation? Okay. Who's participating and what are we participating in? What do you mean it's a high chance of precipitation? All right. What am I sweating about? Are that perspiration?
Starting point is 00:56:26 Perspiration. Do I need to put on more deodorant or not? A little baby powder on my chest around the genitals. I'm just trying to figure this precipitation, participation, perspiration thing out. I like my meteorologist, my weatherman, to speak my language.
Starting point is 00:56:42 That's why it's only a couple of weather sources I trust. One is the Weather Channel because it's black on drop on the clues box for byron island all right and they've always been easy to follow because it's pictures and temperature easy to read you can look and they will have the raindrops falling so you know it's raining they will have a big picture of the sun so you know when it's sunny and they tell you when the rain is supposed to arrive and when it's supposed to stop simple that's where i rock with the weather channel and my other source for weather is a meteorologist named Major Hype. Listen to how simple he breaks it down. Today's weather is f***ing whack, my n***a. 68 degrees raining on and off and
Starting point is 00:57:13 all that, but it's all good for a n***a like me that sell weed. You already know, Friday is a good day. It's gonna get better. Yo, Sean, I need my bread, my n***a. I'm telling you. Don't let me come pull up on you, my n***a. Friday is a good day to catch your faith And that's a fact no Saturday. You already know this is what rain again. It's gonna be I 80 degrees Oh, I don't know how to they go from 80 to 67 on Sunday, and then Monday 62. That's corny money That's my kind of weatherman drop on the clues bombs from major hype. All right Yes Speaks my language now Jerry McCapelle is actually that kind of weather man He's just not speaking my language, but when talking to his people, his flock, his congregation, he uses language that they can understand.
Starting point is 00:57:51 See, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is approaching on the 21st of this month, and it's a day that people, but especially black people, we celebrate the life of one of the greatest men the world has ever seen. A man who, if it wasn't for him, we probably wouldn't have the civil liberties we all enjoy now. But if you are a racist bigot whose ancestors probably never wanted black people to be liberated in the first place and fought against Martin Luther King Jr., you probably don't enjoy this day, okay? You probably want the weather to be trash on this day. And on a day like Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the forecast calls for a high chance of blackness, all right? You probably have to warn all your local bigots and find a way to dull the sunshine that this day brings for so many of us. That's exactly what Jerry McCapelle did because he was fired after using a racial slur on air this past Friday. Let's go to WHEC for the report, please.
Starting point is 00:58:36 For tomorrow, sunshine, 60 degrees, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We're going to see temperatures in the low 60s. Let's hear it one more time. That's for the culture. For tomorrow, sunshine, 60 degrees, Martin Luther King, Junior Day. We're going to see temperatures in the low 60s. Now, it's a new year,
Starting point is 00:58:54 but I'm still not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary. I have never heard the word king mistaken for coon by accident. I've never heard anyone on ESPN say Coon James on accident. I've never heard any hip-hop journalist say T.I. is the Coon of the South. I've never heard a drunk white man at a bar say Budweiser is the Coon of beers. See, what happened was Jeremy has been on vacation probably because it was the holidays and him and his crew have been together letting the slurs fly. All the slurs, racial slurs, gay slurs, slurs against women.
Starting point is 00:59:21 And he hasn't gotten out of that mold yet. He's just getting back into the swing of things. Therefore, that's why the slip happened. Alright, that man has uttered Martin Luther Coon so much that his tongue doesn't even know how to string Martin Luther and King together anymore. If there was no teleprompter, he wouldn't have even known he didn't say King. He would have let that Martin Luther
Starting point is 00:59:37 Coon roll, and that would have been that. Now, Angelia, you said that some speech therapists were saying it was the Luther? Yeah, it's like the ooh and the coo. Okay. Luther. So it was a mistake. And it has happened before.
Starting point is 00:59:49 That's true. But never has anyone said Luther Kondros, at least in public. All right? Never has anyone said Luther Uncle Luke Kumble. But maybe if his name was Luther Kandros, you know, Luther Kondros. Because it was the K from King. To me, I felt like it was, unless he had a history of being that way and people could say, oh, yeah, I grew up with it.
Starting point is 01:00:11 I feel like it was a linguistic mistake. Also because on ESPN, Mike Greenberg made the same mistake before. Michael Greenberg did say that as well on ESPN. He didn't get fired. Let's hear it. Mike and Mike in the morning on ESPN Radio talking football with you
Starting point is 01:00:23 on this Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. You know, Jay-Z did not say he's good on any ML Kuhn Boulevard. Okay, so all this shows me that this is a thing amongst some white men. All right, okay. Now, Jeremy Capel blamed his slip of the tongue on talking too fast. Let's hear it. It's a simple misunderstanding. If you watch me regularly, you know that I tend to
Starting point is 01:00:45 contain a lot of information in my weathercast, which forces me to speak fast. And unfortunately, I spoke a little too fast when I was referencing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. So fast to the point where I jumbled a couple of words. Now, in my mind, I knew I mispronounced but there was no malice i had no idea the way it came across to many people as soon as i had started mispronouncing i put an emphasis on king and moved on had no idea of what some people could have interpreted that as and i know some people did interpret that the wrong way that was not a a word that I said. I promise you that. And if you did feel that it hurts you in any way, I sincerely apologize. Okay, put the jar on that, man.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Listen, say Martin Luther King three times fast. Martin Luther King, Martin Luther King, Martin Luther King. Angela, say Martin Luther King three times fast. Martin Luther King, Martin Luther King, Martin Luther King. Let me try the white man in the room. Stephen, come here. Let me hold your camera. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Stephen's our cameraman for the vote. This is where it goes bad. I'm going to hold your camera, Stephen. He's smiling. He's ready for this. I got it on the fast. Can I plead plead the fifth on this? No Yo, say fast say Martin Luther King three times fast go All right, never mind Pronounced things up here. Yeah, I was thinking that too, but say hi massage But at least of what you, the words, the letters are there. But the cool is Martin Luther King.
Starting point is 01:02:11 I don't know. Hey, Jeremy, I'm going to chalk this one up to good old-fashioned American bigotry. Kathy Griffin, talk to you, people. Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw. Oh, boy. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Now, if you just joined us, we're talking the government shutdown. Now, the government's been shut down since December 22nd, and a lot of people are not getting paid, like TSA. So we're asking 800-585-1051, would you continue to go to work if you wasn't getting paid? Wow. Now, imagine if 800-585-1051. Would you continue to go to work if you wasn't getting paid? Wow.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Now imagine if we were here not getting paid, would we come to work? It depends. It depends how broke I was. If I was broke... But you're not getting money. All right, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 01:02:55 If I was broke, I would have to pay my bills somehow so I'd have to try to find another way to get some money. That's what they said. Some people are like doing Lyft and Uber and driving
Starting point is 01:03:03 just to make some money. Yeah, because I mean, you still got to pay your bills. You still got to feed your family. You got to pay mortgage. So if I was broke, I would have to. I wouldn't have a choice. They said at Kennedy on Friday at Kennedy Airport, 150 TSA employees called out sick. You know, a lot of people who work for the government are usually public servants.
Starting point is 01:03:20 And even though we are radio personalities and I think we are public servants, our jobs aren't important. You know what I'm saying? Like these people that are affected by this government shutdown. Essential jobs. Essential jobs that make the world go around. And a lot of them do these jobs for low pay, but they do them because they love serving people. Absolutely. So that's why they're probably still at work. Now, I love doing radio,
Starting point is 01:03:40 so I probably would still come to work. You know what I'm saying? Unless I was like really, really, really rebelling against the white man. And I was like, hell no, I ain't coming in for free. Think about it. If you didn't have any money and you were living come to work, you know what I'm saying? Unless I was like really, really, really rebelling against the white man. And I was like, hell no, I ain't coming in for free. Think about it. If you didn't have any money and you were living check to check, you couldn't. You got a baby. You got to pay for formula.
Starting point is 01:03:52 You got to pay for daycare. You know, there's no way you could go to work and not get paid and say, okay, well, this government shutdown could be over in the middle of February. You still got to work. So you got to do a Lyft, an Uber, iJob, whatever it takes. You got to pay your bills. But I just think a lot of these people are going to work because they're public servants and they actually care about people more than they care about their paychecks.
Starting point is 01:04:11 That's why they should be making more. That's why a lot of these public servants should be making a whole lot more. Alright, so the question is, would you go to work? That's right. Hello, who's this? Hello, I'm not going to say my name because I work for TSA when I talk to the media, but I work for TSA. You work for TSA?
Starting point is 01:04:28 You're not even going to try to disguise your voice? Like, hello, I'm not even going to try to talk to little people. There's a lot of workers for TSA. Now, you going to work, Mama? Yeah, I'm going to work. Wow. And telling people to come to work, too, because I'm a boss, and I have to tell them to come to work, and it's not right.
Starting point is 01:04:43 And people are not getting paid. They're saying they don't have gas money to come to work. That's true. Are you sympathetic for them though? Like, okay, I can understand. Absolutely. We went through this before in 2013. So, you know, we didn't have gas money. We missed a check and everything.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Well, Keisha, let me ask you a question. Do you love what you do? I love what I do though. I really do. I see you guys all the time. I never say anything but I love what I do. Why don't you speak to us, Keisha? Maybe I'll talk to you guys next time. I'll come up and say, I'm Keisha. Yes. Alright, Keisha,
Starting point is 01:05:13 we appreciate you. We definitely need you guys to come to work. Make sure that nobody's getting no bombs, no guns, no knives, or anything illegal. That's what I'm saying. But there's no back pay, right? You don't get any back pay or anything. We will get back pay. Some people, the salary workers do, but if you're not a salaried
Starting point is 01:05:30 worker, you don't. The ones that are being forced to come to work every day, they will get paid. Okay. Eventually. We thank you for your service, Keisha. Thank you so much. Love you guys. Love you back. Hello, who's this? Hey, I want to be anonymous, but I just wanted to call in and talk about the government shutdown.
Starting point is 01:05:48 I am from Long Island, and I do work for the government as well. What do you do in the government? I work for the people that collect them taxes up. That collect them taxes up? Yeah, the IRS. The IRS, yeah, there you go. Yeah, man. Oh, I need your number, man.
Starting point is 01:06:03 We good, right? We all good up here? Yeah, but you're not going to get a hookup on your taxes. The IRS not getting paid? Nope. The only 12% of workers for the IRS are going to work right now. Everybody up here is good, though, right? Yeah, you ain't...
Starting point is 01:06:15 Over 70,000 is out. Damn. So do I have to... Yeah, and I'm one of them. I shouldn't have to pay y'all, then. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Do I have to pay my taxes? Yes, you do.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Who I'm sending the money to? There's only 10 of y'all then. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Do I have to pay my taxes? Yes, you do. Who am I sending the money to? There's only 10 of y'all working. I know there ain't going to be process and refunds as quick as people think, but hey. So if I pay my quarterly taxes and the check comes back because of the mailing address, that's what happens when you send it to a mailing address that's shut down and nobody's there. It's not coming back. The only thing that might happen is you get an extension on the deadline for your taxes. Definitely.
Starting point is 01:06:44 It should be extended. I'm sorry, Jake. Go ahead. Are you going to work, bro? No, not right now. Some people that are essential are supposed to be going to work. But if you got that time, I say take it. This man talking about years for a shutdown.
Starting point is 01:06:59 Go ahead and get paid, guys. What is he doing? He's interrupting our regular scheduled programs to talk. Tonight, 9 o'clock. Tonight at 9 p.m. Are y'all watching? Nope. Alright, well, thank you, bro. Thank you for taking my call. I was wondering if there's a way I could get a copy of this

I've never been on the radio before, and this is really cool. It's a pleasure speaking to y'all. Jake, you're my friend. Whatever you want.
Starting point is 01:07:29 We'll send you an audio. He's anonymous. Oh, Jake, whatever your name is, we'll send it to you. All right, Jake. By the way, I'm lying about not watching Donald Trump tonight. I'm definitely watching Donald Trump tonight. There is no better stand-up special that can come on television this year other than Amanda Seales that is going to be as good as Donald Trump tonight.
Starting point is 01:07:44 They said Kanye's opening up for him, actually. I can see that. 800-585-1051. We're asking the government shut down. They're not paying some people. Would you still go to work? Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 01:07:59 We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking government. The government is shut down. A lot of people are not going to get paid. It's been shut down since December 22nd. And we're asking, would you go to work? 800-585-1051. Whatever job you have right now, let's just say you wasn't going to get paid to go to work. Would you still go to work?
Starting point is 01:08:18 I would come to work. I like this job. I actually love this job. I would come. Yeah, I love doing radio. I've done radio for free. You know what I'm saying? Like, I feel like we're public servants.
Starting point is 01:08:26 We're not public servants on the level of these people that work for the government, you know, but I feel like we're public servants. So I would still come to work until we figure it out. I might be late every day. Yeah. Yeah. I might not work on Friday. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:08:38 I might not work on Fridays and Mondays. Yeah. Yeah. I might be a four-day work week. You know what I'm saying? But I'm not. I'm going to show up. I'm going to come. I might leave and go to breakfast and come back. Yeah. Little stuff. work week, you know what I'm saying? But I'm going to show up. I'm going to come.
Starting point is 01:08:45 I might leave and go to breakfast and come back. Little stuff, little things, you know what I'm saying? I think that everything's negotiable when the government is shut down. All right, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? This is T-Reasy from the west side of Detroit. T-Reasy. Now, would you go to work if you wasn't getting paid, T-Reasy?
Starting point is 01:09:01 Man, is they going to pay me without going to work? No. What? I can't show up to work if I ain't getting paid. What's the purpose? Well, I think it's different when you're a public servant. When you're a cop or a firefighter or a TSA
Starting point is 01:09:15 agent, like, the world needs you. Like, y'all make the world go around. So I think a lot of these people do it for the love of people, not a paycheck anyway. Now, Jason, what's up, bro? Hey, what's happening, Henvy? Now, Jason, you know you're the only person that used your real name, so I'm just going to let you know that.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Who do you work for, Jason? TSA. You don't know that that's his real name? I work for Delta. I work for Delta. Okay, that's what I fly. Shout out to Diamond Medallion. I thought you're not supposed to talk to the media, Jason.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Dora, what up, Delta? I got them free flights too, Charlemagne. Night after the day. Now, would you go to work? Would you go work for Delta, bro, if you wasn't getting paid? Nah, nah, man. Half of my friends don't even go to work no more, man. It's like TSA. They shutting everything down.
Starting point is 01:09:57 They not doing all of that. So who's checking the people when they come through? I mean, the managers and stuff, even though they're going to get fired if they don't come through. But, you know, everybody else ain't trying to work, man. Who's going to work without pay? That's slavery. So the managers haven't done the job in a long time. And now they got to get back to doing that job.
Starting point is 01:10:16 So you know they mad, Rusty, mad things is getting through. They mad. They mad, yo. So what you're saying is now's the time to sneak the kilos of coke on the plane.

Starting point is 01:10:32 Ha, that's a yes. That's a black man yes. Ha, Sean, you crazy boy. You're a wild boy. But let me ask you this. For people who aren't coming to work, right, can they get fired after this is all over? Well, I don't work for TSA. I work for Delta, but
Starting point is 01:10:46 I guess they're going to get fired because they're dependent on them. They don't want nobody to bring no guns and knives and bombs and all that on the plane, so I guess not. Well, I guess so. They're going to get fired. Well, listen, I got to fly tomorrow. Am I going to have any problems? Better get there early. Nah, not at all. Once you're good, once you're good, once you're good.

As long as you ain't got no knives and none of that. He don't even work for TSA. How you asking him to work for TSA? Come on, get out of here. Why would I have a knife?
