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.
What is that?
Bullets.

After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast

their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

the world's most dangerous morning show the breakfast club what the hell is this man
i'd rather put y'all together.
Y'all are like a mega force.
Y'all just took over every...
Wake your punk ass up.
This is Chris Brown.
I've officially joined The Breakfast Club.
Say something, mother...
I'm with it.
The world's most dangerous morning show.
Breakfast Club, bitches.
Good morning, USA.
Hey, fam.
Good morning, ye.
What day is it?
Guess what day it is?
Guess what day it is.
Guess what day it is.
Hump day.
I was trying to give you a hint.
It's Wednesday, hump day.
You know what?
For myself, it seems like work never stops, so I never know what day it is.
It's not like I get a weekend, I get a Saturday to chill, a Sunday to chill.
I'm always on the move, so it's just work.
I just enjoy it, man.
It's good to be someplace that you enjoy.
Our good friend Chris, who does security, we were walking in this morning,
and he was telling me that he's on this new thing.
He got a Fitbit.
And so it also programs when you're supposed to sleep.
And he said he's been getting seven hours of sleep and he feels like a brand new person.
Yeah, that's great.
I was like, that's amazing.
He was like, Angela, you really need to get seven hours of sleep.
And I said, that would mean I have to go to bed at nine o'clock every night.
And that's impossible.
That is impossible.
Because I wasn't even home yet.
Well, yesterday I did get to sleep at about nine, ten o'clock, which was great.
Okay, so good.
I do want to, though.
I think that would be amazing if I could plan that. But these early mornings, people say, oh, you get used to it.
And if you're listening, you're up with us, too.
And you know you don't get used to it.
No, you do get used to it.
I'm not.
I wake up regardless.
Even on the weekend, I wake up early.
You wake up at 4?
I wake up at 5 every Saturday.
I wake up at like 6.30 or 7, And I feel like I slept a full great night.
I wake up regardless.
And even if I try to sleep later, my body's just up anyway.
So anyway, Benjamin Crump will be joining us this morning.
Attorney Benjamin Crump.
Yes, I love Ben Crump.
I think he's, you know him from representing Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown.
And he's a civil rights activist as well as an attorney so whenever something
goes down
and we see people getting
racially profiled
killed by the cops
in unfortunate situations
like that
Attorney Ben Crump
is on the scene.
Alright.
Why are you walking in so
so uh
Late?
No not so late.
Nigga I ain't late.
My contract says 6.05.
One day y'all gonna realize that.
Okay?
Why you got so much
spunk in you today?
I feel good. What's happening? How y'all doing? You got okay? Why you got so much spunk in you today? I feel good.
What's happening?
How y'all doing?
Okay, y'all got a little orange on?
Come give me a hug.
I want a hug.
I haven't got a hug for a while.
Let's make a hug.
That's what it's all about.
Look at this hug.
I was just listening to Guy.
Peace of my love.
And I knew you wanted a piece of my love this morning.
There you go.
I can tell the future.
You gotta look.
I came in listening to Guy. Okay. You can get a piece of my love this morning. There you go. I can tell the future. I came in listening to Guy.
Okay.
You can get a piece of my love.
It's waiting for you.
Envy is true.
I knew you wanted
a piece of my love.
You had your little Uzi Vert
strolling this morning, man.
Oh, smoke a little Uzi Vert.
I don't know him,
but you know,
God bless that brother.
He's a sassy savage.
I appreciate him. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page, what him, but you know, God bless that brother. He's a sassy savage. I appreciate him.
All right, well, let's get the show cracking.
Front page, what are we talking about?
Well, of course, the Democratic debates were on last night.
So, even though I wasn't home, I did see some of the highlights
because I feel like at this point, that's what I pay attention to.
So, we are going to have some of that for you this morning
in case you didn't see either or you want to talk about it.
All right, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
All right, morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front-page news.
Now, last night, baseball.
I actually like when the game's at 4 p.m.
because I was in a late night.
I got to see it early, but the Yankees did lose.
Houston Astros beat the Yankees 4-1.
Houston leads the series 2-1. And Washington swept St. Louis. They are heading to the World Series. Hopefully, the Yankees did lose. Houston Astros beat the Yankees 4-1. Houston leads the series 2-1.
And Washington swept St. Louis.
They are heading to the World Series.
Hopefully, the Yankees will be too.
Now, Yankees fans, y'all keep that energy now.
Y'all keep that same energy y'all had after y'all won game one.
After game one, y'all was talking real big.
You're right.
Keep that same energy.
You're right.
You're right.
You see me with my Cowboys 3-3.
I come in here with all my Cowboys gear on.
Where your Yankees gear at?
I'm going to have my Yankees.
You say I'm still wearing blue?
God, don't worry about it.
I'm still a Yankee fan.
You could be a Crip.
I could be a Crip, man.
This is Navy blue.
What else we talking about, Yee?
So let's talk about the debates last night.
As I told you yesterday, going into the debates,
it looks like Senator Elizabeth Warren is now, according to the polls,
topping those polls.
She's beating out Joe Biden by a little bit.
She got beat up on last night, though.
So that actually
is what means that she's on top because everybody was attacking her last night for her Medicare for
all. But let's talk about Joe Biden. Now, he did address his son and the whole Ukraine controversy,
his son, Hunter Biden. As you know, Hunter Biden did give an interview yesterday and discussed
everything that Donald Trump has been trying to get information about him from being on the board in Ukraine and getting money from China, all these allegations.
Here's what Joe Biden had to say.
My son did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong.
This president on three occasions has invited foreign governments and heads of government
to get engaged in trying to alter our elections.
Rudy Giuliani, the president and
his thugs have already proven that they in fact are flat lying. My son's statement speaks for
itself. I did my job. I never discussed a single thing with my son about anything having to do with
Ukraine. No one has indicated I have. We've always kept everything separate. Even when my son was the
attorney general of the state of Delaware, we discussed anything so there'd be no potential conflict now Kamala Harris brought
up some things that she felt weren't being discussed in the debate that's important like
women's rights this is the sixth debate we have had in this presidential cycle and not nearly
one word on women's access to reproductive health care, which is under full-on attack in America today.
There are states that have passed laws that will virtually prevent women from having access
to reproductive health care.
And it is not an exaggeration to say women will die because these Republican legislatures
in these various states are telling women what to do with our bodies.
Women are the majority of the population in this country. People need to keep their hands off of women's bodies and
let women make the decisions about their own lives. Now, Amy Klobuchar, who is already concerned about
qualifying for the next round of debates, talked to Elizabeth Warren about her plans for Medicare
for all. And can this really happen? I believe the best and boldest idea here is to not trash Obamacare, but to do exactly
what Barack Obama wanted to do from the beginning, and that's have a public option that would
bring down the cost of the premium and expand the number of people covered and take on the
pharmaceutical companies.
That is what we should be doing instead of kicking 149 million people off their insurance in four years.
And I'm tired of hearing whenever I say these things, oh, it's Republican talking points.
You are making Republican talking points right now in this room by coming out for a plan that's going to do that.
All right. In addition to that, yesterday was big for Bernie Sanders.
Now, he didn't address any questions about his health.
Yes, he did.
Oh, well, it says here, I didn't see the whole thing.
Yeah, he definitely did.
What'd he say?
He said that he feels great and he feels fine.
And I actually thought that the ageism question, because they asked ageism questions to Bernie,
Elizabeth, and Joe Biden.
I thought that was kind of whack because nobody can predict their health.
It don't matter how old you are.
You can be 32 years old and have a stroke or get sick or get cancer.
I didn't like that line of questioning.
All right, so he just said he felt fine.
But he didn't discuss why he was in the hospital or anything.
Well, he knew why he was in the hospital.
He had a heart attack.
All right.
Okay.
So anyway, in addition to that, he did get some endorsements yesterday.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib have announced they are endorsing Bernie Sanders.
I don't think they've announced it yet.
They're announcing it on Saturday in New York.
So that's big for him.
But everybody knows about it now.
They are going to be endorsing Bernie Sanders.
All right.
All right.
So that was big for him yesterday.
Everybody's talking about that now.
Yeah, I don't think it was any clear-cut winner last night.
I think it was just more of the same from everybody on that stage.
At this point in the game, everyone who is who you think they are,
I think it's like seven candidates who need to bow out gracefully and give the five people who really have a shot at winning this thing
more time to speak to American people during the debate.
Because I swear it's like they be cutting people off after 15 seconds
like they post in IG videos.
It's like they're on their IG story and and they trying to get everything in in 15 seconds.
Then they get cut off.
Yeah, we need to narrow it down.
Narrow it down, man.
We know a lot of people are not going to make it.
Narrow it down.
And I was thinking about Bernie and I just don't know about the Bernie.
I like Bernie, but the fact that...
You don't feel the Bern?
The fact that he's having heart problems, you got to think about that.
I'm going to be honest.
You got to think about that.
I watched that debate last night and I actually said to myself, I said, Bernie might be the best bet.
Really?
I did say that.
I mean, yeah, I know he's older, but I mean, I just.
The age doesn't bother me.
The fact that he's had heart complications is what, you know.
Yeah.
I just didn't think the question was fair when they asked him, you know.
They basically asked him to predict his health going forward.
Can't do that.
Nobody can do that.
Nobody can do that.
All right.
Well, that's front page news.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder,
you know, with explosive warheads.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullet holes, yeah.
We need help! We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.

Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show,
where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about.
It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories,
their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
You know that rush of endorphins you feel after
a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real,
inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy,
and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever
you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you. 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 okay. Like grace. Have grace with
yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Wait, before you start telling why you're mad, can I tell you why I'm mad?
Why you mad?
I'm mad because Envy owes me money and he has an attitude with me when I ask for the money that he owes me.
Like you don't owe me money.
I'm going to give you a little bit of money back, all right?
If it's that little bit, why haven't you given it to me already?
I got bills.
Me too.
All right, well, I'll get it to you.
When will we get paid again? Envy, just give me my money. I'm going to give you your money. You just got paid yesterday. I'm going to give it to you already? I got bills. Me too. All right, well, I'll get it to you. When will we get paid again?
Emmy, just give me my money.
I'm going to give you your money.
You just got paid yesterday.
I'm going to give it to you now.
We got paid yesterday?
Yes.
No, we didn't.
Yes, we did.
Oh, yesterday was the 15th, huh?
We got paid on Friday.
What are y'all talking about?
You know who else got paid yesterday?
The IRS.
They definitely got paid. I definitely had to pay them.
It was cool.
It was a good time to get paid.
Y'all hold it.
Y'all deserve it.

Good morning.
It's your boy Rich
from Brooklyn.
What's up, bro?
Get off your chest.
What's going on, Charlamagne?
Look, Charlamagne,
I want to tell you something, man.
Talk to me, King.
We're missing the yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yos
in the morning.
We're missing you with the yo-yos.
You got to get there early, bro.
I ain't gonna lie,
I was caught up in my feelings
this morning.
I was driving
and I was listening to Guy
and I was listening,
at first I listened to
Peace of My Love
and then I started listening
to Less Chill
and you know,
I love Uptown Records, you know
they're one of my top three favorite
music movements of all time, so I was real
happy for no reason, man. I want to spread some
inspiration, though, for y'all to cut me off.
Yes, sir. I want
all the single parents out there, let y'all
know it's going to get greater later, keep your head
up, I know it may be a struggle right now,
but you know what I mean, just stay down until you come up.
Check out my page, Rich Fatherhood
on Instagram and Twitter.
It's for the single parents out there doing the right thing
by these babies. You feel me? Yes, sir.
Hello, who's this?
Yeah, good morning, Envy. Good morning, Charlamagne.
Good morning, Angela. Peace, King.
What's up, bro? Yeah, man, I'm having
a crappy morning this morning.
I just came outside. I had to boot on my car
to pay to get it off. No, I used to hate that.
That used to happen to me
all the time in Jersey City.
Anson, no need for me
to tell you how good
I feel this morning, right?
Because I feel great.
I'm not going to lie to you.
Yeah, but it ain't really
about me right now.
I really want to call this morning
to say all right, people.
A friend of mine, Sean Grant.
Angela, I know you've got
some ties to the Jeff Moore family
at JFK, and I just want to say
rest in peace to him
because he passed on from a heart attack.
He's a young guy in his 40s.
Hey, we're just talking about that.
Now, listen, I was just having this.
Earlier he was saying, you know, you can't predict your health.
That's right.
And, you know, I just want to say rest in peace to Sean Grant,
you know, from Hollywood Rex,
and for all the JetBlue family that I used to work with there. You know, I mean,
I worked with him for many years,
over 10 years, and it's sad
to know that, you know, someone that I worked with
for so long passed on so young.
So, uh, life and peace, Sean. Our condolences to his
family, his friends, and to you, of course,
because that was your friend. And shout
out to everybody at JetBlue at JFK.
Shout out to the JetBlue family out there.
Salute to my girl Keisha. Salute to my girl Keisha at JetBlue, JFK. Shout out to the JetBlue family out there. Salute to my girl Keisha.
Salute to my girl Keisha at JetBlue, JFK.
Yeah, so thank you guys.
Thanks for letting me, guys.
I don't know.
I didn't know I was going to be like this shooken up about it, you know.
But, you know, someone that I worked with for so long and is like a brother, you know, so.
Okay.
All right, P. Sean Grant.
All right, thank you guys.
All right.
Yeah, that's sad, man.
That's why I was saying last night I didn't like that question that they posed to Bernie.
They posed it to Bernie.
They posed it to Elizabeth and Joe because they're so old.
But I'm like, yo, nobody on that stage can predict their health.
No one.
Absolutely.
Get it off your chest.

You got fake hair? Come touch it.
I haven't touched it.
I haven't got a haircut in over two weeks.
Man, shut up, man.

Touch it.
I want you to touch it.
Touch it.

Yeah, we got rumors on the way.
Yes, and y'all gonna put some respect on K-Cam's name.
We'll tell you what just happened to him.
He backed out of a performance, and we'll discuss why.
K-Cam?
K-Cam.
Yeah, it don't sound like K-Cam should be turning down no performances, but I would
like to hear about this.
Listen, I'm not gonna lie, though.
After I saw this happen, I was thinking about some K-Camp songs that I really enjoy.
K-Camp got good records.
He got dope ass records.
I wouldn't be mad.
K-Camp performance.
Money, baby.
Money, baby.
Money, baby, baby.
All right.
Rumors on the way.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Cuba Gooding.
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.
Well, Cuba Gooding Jr. has been charged by New York prosecutors with groping two separate women in the past two years.
And he was indicted on charges of forcible touching and third-degree sexual assault. In addition to those two New York
women, there are 12 additional women who will testify that he has groped, bitten, or licked them
without their consent and after little or no prior interaction. So he's not being charged for those
incidents. They took place in bars and clubs across the country, allegedly, but prosecutors are saying that because of this evidence, there's a pattern of sexually predatory behavior,
proving that the two New York incidents are an innocent misunderstanding.
And he was for groping?
Yeah, for groping.
Jesus Christ.
I know there's people who are around in the 90s who are in those Uncle Luke videos and Dr. Dre videos who are shaking in their boots.
Freaknik, the classic in Miami.
Not excusing any of it.
I'm not simply saying,
like, you know,
you think about movies
like The Wood.
Remember that movie,
The Wood,
when they were playing
the game with a guy
that said,
I'll give you a dollar
if you grab her ass.
You know what I mean?
It's like,
I'm just thinking about
all the behavior that,
you know,
we used to tolerate.
Even in high school,
like,
well,
everybody should know
it's not okay.
You're right.
You know,
at this point.
Well, back then, we didn't. Girls grabbed my ass before, too. Like, it was both ways know it's not okay. Well, back then we didn't.
Girls grabbed my ass before, too.
It was both ways.
You're not going to sit there and act like that wasn't the lifestyle back then.
Right, but now we know, and it's important that women have spoken up
to start a whole movement
so people know it's not okay.
Absolutely, culture changes. I'm just saying that he's an old guy.
So being that he's an old guy, he just never let go of his old ways,
clearly. So in February 2011,
he allegedly grabbed a woman's arm
and then reached inside her shirt to squeeze her bare breast.
That's what she's alleging.
And in November of 2013, he approached another total stranger
who was at a hotel bar for a work event and licked her neck.
And she said they were posing for a picture together
when he allegedly squeezed her buttocks and said something to the effect of,
you've got a good piece of ass.
Lord have mercy.
Now think about how normal that type of behavior used to be.
I used to see it back in the day.
Remember when the video, when the girl went to go hit the volleyball
and the guy ran up behind her in the Dr. Dre video and took her top off?
Yeah.
I will say, though, being in the club even back then,
if a guy licked your neck, that's not anything that feels like it's acceptable
or you should do that, you know, just because you're at a bar.
I mean, I don't think any guy, you know,
a real man would never think that was okay.
Like, just to do that. I can think of
95% of our behavior back in the day that was
not okay, including that type of stuff
licking on the neck. And nothing I named
just now was acceptable. Well, shout out to all the guys that would
never participate in things like that because they're like,
I'm not going to invade someone's
personal space. I know plenty of guys who would never do things like that because they're like, I'm not going to invade someone's personal space.
I know plenty of guys who would never do anything like that.
Yeah, but we can acknowledge
that the behavior
that we used to partake in
in the 90s was wrong.
I didn't lick nobody's neck.
I didn't lick no necks,
but we're not going to say that.
And you wasn't walking around
grabbing people's asses
and putting your hand down
their shirt and licking.
You was at them homecomings
in Virginia.
Yeah, but I wasn't doing that, though.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
There's a lot of people
who would never do that.
You never grabbed a girl's ass
when she was walking by you?
No.
You've seen it happen, though. Yeah, I want to tell you that. Yeah, I'm's what I'm saying. There's a lot of people who would never do that. You never grabbed a girl's ass when she was walking by you? No. You've seen it happen, though.
Yeah, I won't say it.
Yeah, I'm sure, but I'm saying there's a lot of people
who would never partake in that.
All right, now, Tiger has signed a multimillion-dollar deal
with Columbia Records, so congratulations to him.
He said they definitely understand the global brand.
I have a lot of fans worldwide in places I've never been,
like South America, and in places I have been,
like Asia and Europe.
They can help bring that to a larger scale.
So congratulations to him.
He signed a deal with Columbia Records.
He always puts
out some big smash.
Labels still giving out multi-million
dollar deals. Yes. Really?
Especially when they know they're going to recoup that.
Tiger gets about two hits a year, and he stays
on the road. He stays performing. That's a hell
of a bet, bro. On Tiger? I would do it stays performing. That's a hell of a bet, bro.
On Tiger?
I would do it on Tiger.
That's a hell of a bet.
I don't know.
I would do it on Tiger.
Tiger's not as big on the East Coast, but on the West and the South,
and especially crossover world, they love him.
Especially, all you need is like one hit to recoup all of that.
Are they actually getting this money in their pocket, or the deal is worth?
It's always a structured deal because usually it's when you hit certain numbers,
you get an extra amount of money. So as long as you hit the numbers that they would project that you should hit, then you get the money.
I would take that bet on Tiger.
All right.
Now, Kate Camp was supposed to perform at Prairie View A&M Homecoming,
and he backed out because he said he was receiving a lot of tweets saying that they didn't want him to perform.
That's messed up.
I just was at Prairie View last week.
I love Prairie View.
I'm with the Prairie View. Y'all are View. I've been to Prairie View a few times.
Me too.
They got mad love in Prairie.
It's your mad love in Prairie View.
But they will get on you for some ish, okay?
Because when I was saying I was going there,
I had just came from Wayne State University,
and I said Prairie State.
And when I tell you there was like three people
that was going crazy on Twitter.
What do you mean the school wrong?
Right.
But it was a mistake.
It wasn't like I was trying to
diss them. It's just a mistake. I just came from
Wayne State the day before. It was a
slip of the tongue mistake. I said it right
prior to that. So anyway,
it was fine though. I went down there and I met
some amazing students, but I will say those
people were loud and going in
and I think intent matters. It wasn't like
let me try to play to school.
They don't know what your intent is
on social media.
Well, anyway.
So even when you're not there,
they were still screaming at you?
No.
Oh.
They were actually great.
Okay.
And it was an amazing experience.
Now, K-Camp has since put out a song
called Homecoming
over DaBaby's intro instrumental.
Listen to this.
All caught to some tweets
about our homecoming.
What?
While I'm reading all the opposition,
I'm still thumbing.
Still gunning. I got racked, split it with the guys. I swear they gonna hate it when the n***a get in the rise. I like K-Camp, man.
First of all, I think K-Camp is very underrated.
I think he's completely underrated. Would you give him a
multi-million dollar deal? Not as much as Tyga, no way.
But would you give him multi-million?
But K-Camp also does great
hooks for other people. He's right for other people too.
So the same logic y'all use for Tyga should apply
to K-Camp, right? Because K-Camp's written some hits.
I think he's right there. He did Blessing, Comfortable,
Money Baby, Cut Her Off.
I would give K-Camp a check, but not as big as Tyga.
Tyga is a crossover artist. I didn't say as big as Tyga. I said would you give him some multi-millions? That's all. I would give K-Camp a check, but not as big as Tiger. Tiger is a crossover artist. I didn't say
as big as Tiger. I said would you give him some multi-millions?
That's all. Yes. And K-Camp also went
through some things that we didn't even know about. Listen to
this part of the
Homecoming song he put out.
Last year I lost my daughter. Do you know the pain?
But y'all don't know cause I don't let y'all in on everything.
It's been plenty sunny days that I just
pray it rain. I've been going through some
devil on my brain. Put plenty of in position and they switch sides. It's alright. I'm That I just pray it rain Yeah, I've been going through Some devil on my brain Put plenty of goodness in position
And they switch sides
It's all right
I'm still popping like a fish fry
I like K-Camp, man.
I do.
I really like K-Camp.
I'm not gonna lie.
He's a good dude, too.
Every time I see him,
he shows the utmost respect.
He's a good dude.
Sign him.
I don't have a label.
How do you know he's not
signed somewhere already?
No multi-million dollar deal.
He signed.
K-Camp is signed anyway.
Oh, okay.
He's fine.
K-Camp's doing all right out here.
If I had an opportunity, I would.
What did he sign do? Let me see. I know he was managed by anyway. Oh, okay. He's fine. K-Camp's doing all right out here. If I had an opportunity, I would. Who did he sign to?
Let me see.
I know he was managed by TJ.
I thought it was Interscope, but I could be wrong.
K-Camp is signed to Interscope.
See?
I knew it.
There you go.
I just asked the question.
Yeah.
K-Camp is doing fine, trust me.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
Now I'm going to play some K-Camp in the mix this morning.
Yeah, as you should. All right. Now when we come back, front, and that is your rumor report. Now I'm going to play some K-Camp in the mix this morning. Yeah, as you should.
All right.
Now when we come back, front page news.
What are we talking about?
Front page news.
Front page news.
Front page news.
If you're going to Taco Bell to get some ground beef, just know that you might not be able
to get any because there's been a recall.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Why are you doing like that?
You mad at Taco Bell, Jamos?
I love Taco Bell, man.
All right.
Well, they have vegetarian options.
Front page news is next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Hey, morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, let's get into some front page news.
Congratulations to Washington.
They swept St. Louis.
They head into the World Series.
Now yesterday, the Yankees lost to the Astros.
With that energy though.
4-1. Come on, Yankees. We gotta wake up now.
We gotta wake up now. After they won their first game,
I saw you on Twitter. I was talking crazy.
I saw guys like Premium Pete, Desus and Mero.
All you New Yorkers were so amped.
I'm still amped. I still got that energy.
We winning. I don't feel it. But come on, Yankees.
I wanna take my pops to the World Series. So come on. I don't feel it. But come on, Yankees. I want to take my pops to the World Series.
So come on.
They don't believe you.
Come on.
No, now you're just begging.
No, man.
Let's get some front pages.
What else we talking about, Yee?
All right.
Well, let's talk about Taco Bell.
They have recalled seasoned ground beef in 21 different states.
And that's because a customer complained they had found metal shavings in their meat.
So that recall was issued on Monday.
And that's 2.3 million pounds of seasoned beef
that they actually had to recall.
No disrespect to Taco Bell,
but I haven't eaten Taco Bell since I was a child.
Okay, and the Bible says when you are a babe,
you think like a babe,
but when you are a man,
you put the ways of childishness behind you.
You put the ways of youth behind you.
That was a youth move for me.
I was never a Taco Bell lover.
I never really liked Taco Bell.
No, they had a nice...
When I was in high school,
I dated a guy who worked at Taco Bell.
I used to work at Taco Bell.
Not that long. I worked at Taco Bell for two weeks.
My sister was the manager. She fired me after two weeks.
I remember my dad would be excited because
he would give me like big bags of Taco Bell.
I never really messed with Taco Bell.
Nah, I love myself too much to be eating Taco Bell.
Alright. At this point in my life.
And I do too well.
Let's talk about the debates from last night. Let's get back
into that, okay?
So some other things that happened.
Julian Castro, he was talking about police and gun violence and the role of police violence in our nation.
Here's what he had to say.
In the places that I grew up in,
we weren't exactly looking for another reason
for cops to come banging on the door.
And y'all saw a couple of days ago
what happened to Tatiana Jefferson in Fort Worth.
A cop showed up at 2 in the morning at her house
when she was playing video games with her nephew.
He didn't even announce himself, and within four seconds,
he shot her and killed her through her home window.
She was in her own home.
And so I am not going to give these police officers another reason
to go door-to-door in certain communities
because police violence is also gun violence violence and we need to address that.
I agree with everything that Julio Castro said and I'm glad he brought it up.
I just didn't understand why he was saying it during a conversation about gun control.
I didn't understand the point. Was he saying we need to take guns from police?
He wanted to get that out though. He wanted to get that out. He wanted to stand on something last night.
He also released 58 endorsements before that debate happened yesterday.
That was just weird to bring that up during a conversation about gun violence. Sounds weird.
I didn't get it. You say you want to take
guns from cops? I don't know what he was trying to say.
All right, now, Elizabeth Warren, in the meantime,
you know, she's in the front running when it comes
to polls right now. She's beating Joe Biden
ahead of those debates from last night.
So a lot of people were coming at her because it seems
like she's the person right now that
you need to make sure you beat.
And so Mayor Pete Buttigieg had a back and forth with her about health care.
You have not specified how you're going to pay for the most expensive plan, Medicare for all.
Will you raise taxes on the middle class to pay for it? Yes or no?
So I have made clear what my principles are here. And that is costs will go up for the wealthy and for big corporations.
And for hardworking middle class families, costs will go down.
A yes or no question that didn't get a yes or no answer.
Your signature, Senator, is to have a plan for everything except this.
Now, Elizabeth Warren, is she the one that want to raise the taxes like dumb high?
What do you mean?
For a certain class of people?
Well, she didn't say what class of people.
They keep asking her, will taxes for the middle class go up?
How will this happen?
And she's not able to answer those questions right now.
She might have a plan, but then how do you execute that plan?
Yeah, we got to hear this plan because there was a rumor that she wanted to raise it to like 70%
if you make over a certain amount of money or something like that.
And she did say that taxes will go up, but we don't know who's going to be affected the most by that.
She explained it here.
I thought she said she wanted to tax the richest people in America.
I don't remember.
Well, that too, right.
But we're talking about as far as Medicare for all.
What's that going to do for middle class?
Right.
How much will our taxes go up?
These debates are just for entertainment at this point.
Until they pass some type of election security bill,
they're just for entertainment.
It's amazing how for the first time,
quite a few candidates last night brought up the fact
that it was Russian interference in our elections,
but nobody seems to be discussing how to
combat it. Like, some election security
bill needs to be passed. Until that happens,
these debates are just for entertainment, and
it'll be Trump 2020. Alright, well, I'm
Angela Yee, and that is your Front Page News.
I don't even want to put that energy out there. I don't even want to say
that. I'm just telling you to deal with the reality of life.
Nah, B. You don't need to run from reality.
Nope.
All right.
Well, thank you, Miss E.
Now, when we come back,
attorney Benjamin Crump will be joining us.
Yes, indeed.
He's got a new book out called
Open Season Legalized Genocide of Colored People.
And attorney Ben Crump has worked with, you know,
everybody from the Michael Brown family,
the family of Trayvon Martin,
Stephon Clark.
So, yeah, he's on the front lines when it comes to activism.
All right, so we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I create my own country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder,
you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
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 okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. up you're trying your best and you're gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing alicia keys like
you've never heard her before listen to on purpose with jay shetty on the iheart radio app apple
podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts morning everybody it's dj mv angela yee charlamagne the
guy we are the breakfast club we got a special guest in the building attorney benjamin crump
honored to be here and thank y'all for what y'all do for the culture.
Angie, you know how I feel.
Yes, I've been wanting to get you up here for the longest,
so I'm glad that we're able to make this happen.
And I'm glad that you have this book out, Open Season.
First of all, the amount of injustices that have been done to black and brown people is,
like you can't even, every page is like 10 different stories.
Like you said, laws disproportionately affecting us and harming us.
And you also talk about killing us spiritually and not just physically.
Absolutely.
You know, the reason I wrote this book was twofold.
Number one, Ben Franklin said that democracy is like two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know how that vote is going to go.
But he said liberty is making sure that that lamb is well armed to protest the vote.
And so we have to make sure young people in our community who are being targeted like the lambs are well armedarmed to protest the school-to-prison pipeline. Well-armed to protest, you know, this racist Jim Crow laws like stand your ground.
Well-armed to protest the voter suppression.
Well-armed to protest environmental racism where Charlemagne children who grow up in South Central L.A. has a third of the lung capacity of children that live in Santa Monica, California,
because all the toxic chemical plants are in our community, Angie.
And they legalize it.
Flint, Michigan, Newark, New Jersey, Puerto Rico.
And so we make the case in this book very clearly that we have to show America the hypocrisy within the legal system
and how they're using the law not just to justify the killers on the street,
but more poignantly, how they're using the laws to kill us in courtrooms
with these trumped-up felony convictions where one in every five black men
in states like Florida and Tennessee have felony convictions.
And they're not very different from many of the other states.
And the experts predict if this trend continues, one out of every three black men in America will be convicted felons.
And that is unacceptable when you think about all the collateral consequences that come with being a convicted felon.
It's not that you're dead, but it's like you have the walking dead.
They just haven't given you the death certificate.
Well, I agree with everything you're saying, but when you say we need to show America the hypocrisy of the judicial system,
they know.
They created it.
Like, they don't care.
Well, you know, we think that
a lot of times
they know.
But I have a lot of, my law partners,
some of them who are white, who are astounded
by the things they see since they've
been working with me in these matters
of civil rights. You know,
it's so deep, Charlemagne,
when you think about
when we were in Ferguson,
and you all remember the killing of Mike Brown,
and what really helped inspire me to write this book was the young people.
They just refused to remain silent.
And I remember specifically this one young brother who were out there
when they had the National Guard with the assault rifles pointed at him.
He walked right up to the gun, and he was yelling, and I was like, oh, my God.
No fear.
Yeah, no fear at all.
And he said, no, go ahead and kill me.
Kill me now.
Y'all going to kill us when the cameras go,
so go ahead and kill me so we can show the world how y'all killing us.
And I remember thinking, that is so important.
The world needs to see how they're killing us because some of them don't understand.
They think that, well, it's not as bad as they say.
You know, crumping them, they just keep, you know, trying to race bait and all this stuff.
Look at the empirical evidence.
I mean, don't take our word for it.
Look at the fact that when you have black people who kill people and say self-defense,
stand your ground don't work for us.
Not at all.
But when it's a white person kill a black or brown person, as long as they make sure we're there,
their stand your ground argument has a far better chance of success.
Look at the castle doctrine law.
The fact that they even thought of giving Amber Geiger a castle doctrine in a house
that wasn't hers. Oh, man. What you
talking about, Charla? It was the most
asinine thing I've ever heard of that
you get to have the castle
doctrine, even though it's not your castle.
It's both of y'all's castle. You talk about
that in the book, a specific situation,
right, where there was undercover
police officers. Oh, man.
It is so deep. Trayvon Martin
Angie was not my first time hearing Stand Your Ground Trayvon Martin because it was the number
one news story in the world and because it became the conscious for Black Lives Matter in America
everybody thought uh it was introduced to Stand Your Ground but an old black man named Isaac
Singletary was the first time I had ever been acquainted with Stand Your Ground
because we were trying to use it to argue
when they had these undercover police officers
come and set up drug deals near his property.
He was an old black man who didn't play that in his community.
Everybody in the projects across the street from him
understood that pops weren't going to let you sell drugs on his community. Everybody in the projects across the street from him understood that Pops
wasn't going to let you sell drugs on his property.
And so he owned a house, and he had his birth house right beside it.
So this Hispanic guy and this white guy set up shop.
And when Pops came out there with his little.22 and his T-shirt that they call a wife beater
on a Sunday afternoon had his fried chicken still on the oven. He had his little
22 and he said, get the
hell off my property. And the
undercover police officers claimed
that they identified themselves
as police officers, which our
experts said they would never do because once
they give up their cover, their cover is
blown. And so what then
transpired, even though this man had this little
22 and seemed like all they had to do was get off his property, they
claimed that he shot at them and that's where the story becomes
convoluted because, you know, in the projects, everybody watching. And they said,
no, no, the old man pointed the gun, but he didn't shoot. They were the first ones to
shoot at him. They shot him. He backed up against the wall and then
stumbled to his backyard thinking that
these drug dealers were coming to kill him.
They called the SWAT team in
and they came and shot Grandpa
eight times, killing him.
After he had already been shot in Michigan? After he had already been shot.
And they're on his property.
And then we were arguing,
stand your ground. And they said, no, no.
Stand your ground doesn't apply.
And you said, hold on. Well, how does
it apply when
white people say that
we felt and feel about life and we defended
ourselves, but yet when black people
say it, it doesn't apply.
That's the hypocrisy that we talk
about in open season.
That's just the foundation that America
was built on, racism and bigotry.
And it's this implicit bias that's pervasive.
All right, we got more with Attorney Benjamin Crump when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Attorney Benjamin Crump's in the building.
Charlamagne?
Now, Ben, you named the book Open Season,
The Legalized Genocide of Colored People., you named the book Open Season, the legalized genocide of colored people.
Can you explain the significance
of that word, genocide?
It's not that they're just
killing us in the streets
with these high-profile
police shootings
like Michael Brown,
like Alton Sterling,
like Philando Castile,
like Pamela Turner,
like Stephon Clark,
like Corey Jones,
like Walter Scott, like Jonathan Crawford, like Corey Jones, like Walter Scott,
like Jonathan Crawford, like Tamir Rice.
I mean, the list goes on.
Antionna Jefferson.
Antionna Jefferson.
I mean, in our own house.
But it's not just those killers.
What's far worse, I submit to you, Charlemagne,
and what we make to the case in America, Angie,
is the fact how they kill us every day
in every city, in
every state in America
softly.
In courtrooms where
you see
they're killing our young lambs with
these trumped up felony convictions.
And don't take my word for it. Just go in the
back of a courtroom, any courtroom,
and sit in the back and watch
how when they have
similar fact patterns of little white boys
and white girls, and they have
fact patterns to little black and brown
children, you see the little white children get a
slap on the wrist, and then they get
escorted out of court to live
the fulfillment of their destiny and
achieve their American dreams, and these
black children get taken to the corner of the courtroom.
They get fingerprinted, handcuffed, and convicted of a trumped-up felony conviction.
And I do mean a trumped-up felony conviction on some of the most unbelievable things you would imagine.
But they never get the benefit of the doubt, the benefit of consideration, the benefit of possibility. They have this felony
conviction that they now have to wear
like a cross on their back for the rest of their
lives. And everybody says, oh, once
you get a felony conviction, you
can't vote and you can't serve on
jury duty, you can't serve in the Army.
Well, that's just the tip of the
iceberg when it comes to a felony
conviction. I mean, if you
wanted to go to college, you can no longer get
a federal grant or loan
when you got a felony conviction.
You can't go through TSA free check.
Yeah.
And Charlotte, man, it's so
deep, man. If you wanted to
be a teacher, if you got a
felony conviction, you can't get a certification.
If you want to be a nurse, you can't get
certified with a felony conviction. A real estate agent, you can't get certification. If you want to be a nurse, you can't get certified with a felony conviction.
A real estate agent, you can't get certification.
If you want to be a beautician, Angie, for sisters,
many states won't let you get certified if you got a felony conviction.
An alcohol license if you're trying to open up a bar or something.
I mean, they start taking everything away from you.
And in fact, Charlemagne,
if you are a convicted felon
and you serve any time in prison, you can't even get life insurance.
It's like you literally are the walking dead.
They just have not given you the death certificate yet.
I didn't know that.
So what we have to do is not let this racist criminal justice system continue to define young black and brown people.
We have to say, no, no, we're
going to define our people and we're going to make sure they are equipped with the tools
to know that this system is targeting them and is killing them softly.
Let me ask you a question.
You talk about all these high profile cases.
We've all heard about them.
They've trended on social media.
How have these cases brought about a change in the justice system, if any?
The great Johnny Coggan said it's a journey to justice, Charlemagne.
I think when you look at Trayvon, which was, you know,
the very definition of Black Lives Matter,
the number one news story in the world where a black child was killed.
You think about Mike Brown.
Mike Brown and Ferguson was the impetus for these body camera videos.
President Obama signed a bill to pay $50 million to local police departments
to have these body cameras now.
You think of Stephon Clark in California,
even though the police officers didn't get charged,
but the governor of California, Angie,
has signed the most restrictive police use of force law in America.
And I hope it becomes a trend because what they said, Charlemagne, in California,
when the police shoot a person, they now have to show that it was necessary.
You can only kill or use lethal force when necessary.
So that now means you have to show everything else that you tried to do before you used lethal force.
So at the Botham Jones trial
when I said that this
verdict was for Trayvon, this verdict
was for Michael Brown, for
Sandra Bland, for Pam Turner,
what you really was saying, because those
cases educated America.
It put that Black Lives
Matter in the stream of consciousness
for America.
It has an impact now on the judicial system, even though it is the judicial system, the executive branch and the legislative branch that have conspired through history of America to kill black and brown bodies, we are now starting to make a difference
because that's the whole reason this book was written,
is to try to prevent the open-season killings of black and brown
and disenfranchised people, the marginalized people,
the people who my grandmother called the least of these.
This book was written to prevent the killings of them
without anybody being held accountable
in the judicial system who
is supposed to be the safeguard that
I'm part of this legal system. We're
supposed to be the safeguard, the rooster
that guards the hen house.
Many times, we are the
person who are promulgating
the injustice. And that's
what we got to fight against. Yeah, the police always claim
self-defense and say they were in fear for whatever reason.
And then when they bring that to the stand,
like you said, the grand jury proceedings,
they tend to side with the police officers
because they feel sympathetic toward the police officer
who they're like, well, I was scared for my life.
And that's basically all a police officer has to say.
And I feel like a lot of times they'll say,
well, I didn't have my camera on,
or they don't show all the footage,
and there's all these different scenarios that happen.
They straight up lie.
So what should happen to police officers when they lie, right?
They should be convicted.
Absolutely.
Just like a citizen should be convicted and serve jail time.
Absolutely.
Nobody should be above the law.
And you're acting as my co-counsel now, Angie,
because when you talk
about those three magic words, I felt in fear where the Supreme Court of the United States has
literally given license to the police to justify any killing of a person, especially a black or
brown person in America by saying what they literally wrote out in Graham v. Conner in
Garner v. Tennessee. This is what the police officer has to say.
I felt them fear.
I felt threatened.
And if they say that, Charlemagne, they say, oh, you came Monday morning quarterback the police.
You wasn't there.
Thank God for the advent of technology.
Because for years, black people, Hispanic people kept saying the police brutalized me.
The police shot me.
They tortured me.
And nobody would believe them.
They planted the drugs on me, and people did not believe them.
But video is not a catch-all, because Alton Sterling, Philando Castile,
he had video, and it didn't work then.
So we have to keep screaming at the top of our lungs.
We have to make sure that we hold a mirror to America's face.
This book is a wake-up call that it is the law itself that they are using to legalize the killings.
What's going to happen when civilians start shooting police officers out of fear?
Because let's be for real, self-preservation.
I get upset when I see police officers in those situations,
but I understand it a little bit because it's just self-preservation at the end of the day.
You want to make it home alive, but that person on the other side wants to make it home alive too.
So what happens when that person shoots a police officer out of fear?
You speak facts, Charlamagne.
If anybody should be afraid, it should be us or the police.
The police should never be afraid of black people shooting them
because it's very rare that it happens.
But you pray and hope that the rule of law prevails because, unfortunately, we don't have more guns than them.
We don't have more instruments of violence.
And I believe, honestly, that it's about making sure our children are more intelligent than
their oppressors. Those who would seek
to oppress us. That's the only way we win
this war. We would never win this war
with violence. We would never win this
war with guns. We only win
this war with intellect
and diplomacy and courage.
Alright, we got more with Attorney Benjamin
Crump when we come back. Don't move. It's the
Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Attorney Benjamin Crump's in the building.
Charlamagne, could you explain the importance of jury duty?
Black people, when we get the jury notification, you got to answer the jury duty call, the summon.
One of the hardest things to do as a
black lawyer is to go in a
courtroom with your black client
and the only other thing black in the
courtroom is to judge his robe
and think you're going to get equal justice.
But what's the point of saying jury appears
if they're not going to really give you that? Exactly.
Even if we don't show up, we got to go find
the people, go find other black people.
We got to do every church, every fraternity, every sorority.
When you're talking on TV, when you're doing lip service,
every chance we get, we got to say, you know,
if you had black people on Trayvon's jury,
if you had black people on Philando Castile's jury,
just that one voice in the room make them change the whole conversation.
I mean, just,
if you there, Angie,
they can't talk about it the way that they normally
talk about it
because you understand
Trayvon's life experiences,
his culture,
his community.
Understand that
if he smoked marijuana,
that does not mean
that George Zimmerman
had the right
to murder him.
Even hearing
Atiana Jefferson
had a gun in her house.
So the f*** what?
Exactly.
What does that mean?
It's the intellectual justification of discrimination,
and it's the law and the courts that are doing it.
And that's what we keep arguing in this book.
We got to let them see how they're killing us.
Because if we can't get justice in the courts of law in America,
we got to make our case to the court of public opinion for the world.
But it is changing.
Atiana Jefferson's murderer was convicted.
Well, you know.
Arrested.
He was arrested and charged with murder.
Amber Geiger was convicted.
Amber Geiger was convicted only for 10 years.
And I'm still pissed about that as one of the lawyers for the family.
I was going to ask you this.
Do you think because of those convictions and the arrest, you think we're witnessing the beginning of a change?
I believe so, because what Trayvon did, what Mike Brown did, what Stephon Clark, Alton Sterling, all these cases did,
it raised a consciousness level to say, don't believe forensic file mentality
or law and order mentality that the police
are always good and that
black and brown people are always bad. You know
when he used to have a show
on Fox News and I
won't call his name
the spin factor. We were always
Bill O'Reilly? Why you don't want the Bill O'Reilly name?
Hey man, I'll be giving credence
to people. He don't want to speak his name.
But we would always say something where we would sit down and he would say,
well, Ben Crump, you're a good lawyer, you're an honorable lawyer.
Do you mean to tell me that you think all police officers are bad people?
Because you know the majority of them are good.
And I would look right back at him, Charlamagne, and say,
do you think all black people are bad people?
Because the majority of them are good.
Wouldn't you agree?
Because we can't let them have the high ground on morality.
That's right.
They can't say the police are up here and little black and brown people are down here.
It's got to be equal.
And we got to keep using whatever blessings that God has endowed us with to speak truth to power.
It's just so crazy to me.
They murdered so many people.
We just celebrated the life of a murderer yesterday with Christopher Columbus.
They do this to us all the time, but yet we're the bad guys.
I'm just saying.
We came to work, and we worked, and it was a regular day.
We didn't enslave people.
We didn't kill the Native Americans.
How we end up being the bad guys? Oh, man, we talk in the book on the Racism Kills, Chapter 1,
about this whole notion of slaves being different in America
than any other place, how you became child of property,
that you can never be free.
Because in the Caribbean and so forth, it used to be you were a slave
if you would not accept Christianity or until you paid off your debt.
But in America, in the Caribbean, they said, well, hold on.
This slavery is the best thing that ever happened.
I mean, when you think about business, if you can control your costs of labor, I mean, you can reap untold fortunes. And so they didn't change that,
Charlemagne, because they said, hold on,
what do we have on these black people who are the
strongest people who can survive
anything, survive the Middle Passage,
survive, you know, the slave
castles in Ghana
and the Senegal?
What is different about them than any other thing
that we can see?
It's their skin color. And just like
zebra can't change its stripes,
these black people, if we say
they are damned,
that they're always going to be slaves
just by the fact that
they are secondary citizens,
that they're beneath us, we can
keep this institution of slavery going
forever. And so the universities
like Harvard and Georgetown,
all these institutions, Wall Street,
that made untold fortunes off of slavery,
we put in the book the reason why
they don't want to come to terms with what they did
and how they benefited is because
they then would have to pay reparations.
And both they had to pay reparations, they would go broke paying us what is due to us
for what we contributed to America.
Even life insurance was built on the whole notion of slavery.
I mean, there was no such thing as life insurance until they started insuring slaves as property on slave ships.
And then when they got on the plantations, they said,
if my slave died, lose my property, I want to insure that, Angie.
And so now if you die, I get $1,000 for you
because I was counting on you for my crop and my profit.
And so that then evolved into what we know as life insurance.
So we got to speak truth to power.
And in the open season, we keep trying to do that.
We talk about how Harvard was just a little-known college,
but because Lawrence and Lowes, they ran the cotton textile factories.
Even though they went from the South,
they made all the money in the world off of the cotton, off the plantations.
I mean, that's how America became this financial juggernaut from nowhere
off the backs of
black people picking cotton.
And then on top of that, Wall
Street was created
based on those Boston
textile factory owners.
So everything goes back
to how America benefited
from slavery and they
still continue to benefit in many ways from slavery.
Oh, the prison industrial complex is an extension.
Slavery by any other name is just the same like my sister.
13th Amendment.
Michelle Alexander says so eloquently in her book.
And so it's these things.
We continue 70 years later.
We charge genocide.
Man, Attorney Ben Crump, the book is out right now.
Yes.
Open Season, Legalized Genocide of Colored People.
The first thing I thought when I was reading this book,
this woman had came up to me one time, and this is a crazy story,
but she was basic.
She was a drunk white woman, and she was like,
I don't understand this whole Black Lives Matter thing.
Shouldn't all lives matter?
And I really tried to explain things to her,
but I'm going to next time somebody asks me a dumbass question like that, I'm going to be like,
you need to get this book by attorney
Van Crump called Open Season.
It's going to make you say, damn.
With this book, hopefully enough people
will go out and buy it where
70 years later that
you all can come over to Geneva,
Switzerland with me. We can go
to the United Nations committee
and we can present the case
that they are still
killing Negroes in America.
Oh, I'm all for that.
And more poignantly,
in the courtrooms.
And so we plan
a date for all your
audiences.
That should definitely happen.
So we're going to go and present
just like
Paul Robeson and W.B.
DuBois when they made the case
that they're killing black people
every day in America.
And it's more poignantly not
what they're doing in the streets, but
how they're killing us in the courts.
Now, I will say this in conclusion.
President Truman
and Eleanor Roosevelt was pissed at the black people going to air their dirty laundry to the world.
So they're going to be mad at us, Charlamagne and Angie, when we're going to say America.
And how that's OK. And that's a rehab situation and they need help.
But then you talk about the crack epidemic and how that was criminalized.
And go make the case. So in the next
12 months, they're scheduled to do this.
I know everybody's busy. This is how
the revolution begins. We're never too busy
for liberation, my brother. Bless us.
My man, Attorney Ben Crump.
Thank you so much.
This is the Rumor Report
with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On The Breakfast Club.
Centoya Brown.
Centoya Brown, yeah.
Centoya Brown Long.
Now, she was on the Today Show,
and she's basically talking about the man
that she killed more than 15 years ago.
That was during a time that she was being sex trafficked.
And I'm reading her book, Free Centoya,
My Search for Redemption in the American Prison System.
And when you hear the whole story about how everything happened and read this story,
it's really, really something that I think people need to hear because sometimes you hear a story about somebody.
She killed someone.
She deserves to go to jail, but she was underage at the time and how it all went down.
And she was protecting herself and everything that led up to that.
That's what she's really talking about. so she was on the today show and she had
this to say about the man's family i don't think that we can tell someone how to feel when they've
been through something like that and i completely understand like they've lost a loved one i took
that person from them and you know of course i would tell them that i apologize if they would
ever want an opportunity to speak with me i'd'd be more than happy to speak with them.
You'd talk to them?
I would.
All right.
That man's name is Johnny Allen.
That's interesting.
She did say that she was sorry to his family.
I mean, that whole thought process is interesting.
That she would apologize?
No, I'm sure she has remorse.
She has the right to apologize.
And whatever the family chooses to do with that apology, whether they accept it or don't accept it, they have the right to do that as well.
Absolutely.
Right.
I think also being locked up as long as she was, as she says in the book, she had a lot of time to think about what she did and if she could have done things differently.
But it was also a situation where she considered it self-defense.
Like she would say, what if I had just fired the gun into the air, then jumped out the window and ran?
I could have done that.
But again, she was only 16 at the time and she had been abused for so long.
And she thought the man was going to kill her.
And she was, yes, scared and protecting herself.
I wonder if she's looked at all sides of what the reaction could be when she apologizes.
Or does she care?
She apologizes because that's something she wants to do for herself.
I think that's what she wants to do because she feels sorry and apologetic. I think the main thing is that she feels like the family,
she would apologize to the family because they had somebody
that they loved taken away from them.
So she's sorry for that.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it.
But I'm just saying that she looked at all sides
because her apology may not be accepted.
So if it's not accepted, she can't worry about that.
She has to still do it because that's something that she wants to do. Right. And she said
if they wanted to speak with me,
I would. But if they don't, then she
won't. All right. Alicia Keys.
She recently did Red Table Talk.
Of course, sat down with Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith
and Adrienne Banfield Norris. And she was
talking about being this
superwoman and what made her actually
write those empowering songs.
It was usually at times i felt
so unstrung so unsuperwomanly right so weak or confused or feeling misunderstood that the only
way that i knew how to get through that was to write what i was hoping for yeah even when i'm
a mess i still put on the best with it so much yes i'm a super woman yes because i'm a superwoman.
Yes.
Because I'm a mess, y'all.
I'm a mess.
That's therapy talk right there.
Drop on the Clues Bonds for therapy, damn it.
That's the beauty of therapy.
Get it out.
So writing songs is therapeutic for her.
We all feel that.
That episode was dope.
They had a red piano.
Instead of a red table, red piano.
I thought that was dope, yeah.
Drop on the Clues Bonds for Jada Pinkett Smith and Nalisha Keith being bludged. See that right there? That's a dope set, red piano, which I thought was dope, yeah. Dropping the clues behind Jada Pinkett Smith and Alicia Keys being blood.
See it right there?
Had a dope set, man.
Right, she also said,
I don't even know how to get mad.
I've been doing this thing for so many years
where I've been downplaying
whatever it is I need
because I never want to come off
as too demanding.
So she said,
I feel like sometimes
she would feel like
she wasn't deserving
of greatness.
Well, who requested
the red piano then?
Somebody had to demand that.
Maybe they did that as a gesture.
Yeah, just for the set.
That's dope.
Listen, it's okay to not be okay.
That's basically what Alicia Keys is saying.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
Thank you, Ms. Yee.
Charlemagne.
Yes, sir.
How are you giving that down on Catoons?
Listen, man, I know all the debates were last night, but let's not get lost in the debates.
Let's pay attention to what this fascist-ass regime is doing.
Mike Pence needs to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with him.
Got to keep an eye on those guys.
If you don't, you'll miss something.
All right, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown
of Muslims entering the United States.
Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners,
when somebody disrespects our flag,
to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now.
Out.
He's fired.
He's fired.
Please step up to the congregation.
Yes, you are a dog.
When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.
They're bringing drugs.
They're bringing crime.
They're rapists.
These are jackass.
Hey, Darker in the Day for Wednesday, October 16th,
goes to the Vice President of the United States of America, Mike Pence.
Oh, the mayonnaise is heavier than this one.
Look, man, I'm only using this moment to keep you all aware of the fascism that exists in this country, okay?
If you don't think the Trump administration has become a fascist regime,
then you are simply not paying attention.
If there is any doubt that the Republican Party is now a fascist regime, then this should confirm it.
OK, fascists are totally against democracy.
And Donald Trump is wiping his ass with the Constitution every chance he gets.
And once again, the media and everyone else is acting like this is normal because alarms are never ringing the way they should be when we need them to.
Last week, Donald Trump said that he wouldn't be cooperating in any impeachment inquiries
unless the House had a vote to formalize the impeachment inquiry.
But we all know that's BS because under the Constitution,
there is no requirement that the House has to vote to have an impeachment inquiry.
And that's why Nancy Pelosi said yesterday verbatim,
there's no requirement that we have a vote.
So at this time, we will not be having a vote.
Period.
Well, she didn't say period.
But when the facts, of the facts and the
truth stopped Donald Trump. He already said
he wouldn't comply with any subpoenas until
the House votes, which they don't have to.
And he encouraged other Republicans and folks
in his administration to do the same.
Let's go to CBS this morning for the report, please.
You've now got the Department of Defense,
the Vice President Mike Pence,
and the President's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, all ignoring new deadlines to hand over documents.
They say they're not going to comply with an investigation that essentially they view as illegitimate.
They want a vote formalizing the impeachment inquiry.
But for now, they're not going to get one.
Yes, they are listening to their leader, Trump.
OK, America, this is another example of obstruction and the Trump administration abusing their power.
Mike Pence is obstructing Congress from getting the facts.
This could be considered suppressing evidence.
And if nothing was done wrong, which we all know it was, why are you not cooperating?
The letter that was sent to the chairman of the House Intelligence, Mike Pence's counsel,
called to request part of a self-proclaimed impeachment inquiry,
noting that the House is not yet taking a vote to open the inquiry.
Once again, America, the Constitution does not require the House to vote on impeachment inquiries.
But Donald Trump does not give a damn about the Constitution, okay?
Don't let last night's debates distract you from the fact that America is now under a fascist regime
that does what the hell they want, okay?
The Trump administration tested Democrats' chin every chance they get.
Mike Pence is refusing to turn over documents.
Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, is refusing to turn over documents.
Budget Director Russell Vogt is refusing to comply with subpoenas for documents.
And American media is acting like all of this is normal.
And you wonder why the BS this administration does is always normalized.
If we don't act like something is wrong, then the general public will think nothing is normal. And you wonder why the BS this administration does is always normalized.
OK, if we don't act like something is wrong, then the general public will think nothing is wrong. It's easy for Trump and his administration to spin this like it's nothing because Democrats in the media act like it's nothing.
OK, it's obstruction. It's abuse of power. It's the middle finger to democracy and law.
That is an attribute of any fascist and fascist regime.
OK, they don't give a damn about democracy.
This is why I said earlier the debates are just for entertainment at this point.
Do you think this regime, this administration that does whatever the hell they want is going to ever have a peaceful transfer of power with anyone?
Do you really think Donald Trump is just going to leave the White House?
The same guy who has appointed 150 federal judges has the head of the DOJ in his pocket,
two of his own hand-picked guys in the Supreme Court.
Do you really think there will be no funny business in 2020?
Until they pass some type of election security bill, which, oh, they won't, because another Trump or Mitch McConnell has blocked it and will continue to block it.
You know, Mike Pence refusing to comply to the House and turn over documents they need as part of the impeachment inquiry.
It's just another example that there are no more checks and balances and democracy as
we know it in America is dead.
Please let Chelsea Handler give Vice President Mike Pence the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise.
The reason I keep saying there's no hope for 2020 is because I I hope that like my predictions for my Dallas
Cowboys, I'm wrong. I hope so too.
Because usually when I say
a team is going to win,
they lose. Okay. So I'm going to continue to say
this, even though I believe it. I'm going to continue
to say it in hopes that
the Trump administration loses in 2020.
I don't see it though. Say the Houston Ares shows are going to win.
Nah, I don't care. I don't want you to be
happy, so I would never do that.
All right, well, who my Giants?
Who the Giants play this week?
You would know if he was a real Giants fan.
Who would the Giants play?
You was on the Jets' D so much this week that you don't even know who the Giants play.
You know what?
You was on the Jets' D all week.
I was not on the Jets' D.
I just wasn't on the Cowboys' D.
Oh, listen, there's a Brokeback Mountain 2 sequel that could be written if you want to be on some Cowboy D.
No, I'm good.
He said it was gay, so what?
I hate you, man.
We play the Cardinals this week, too, by the way.
Say the Cardinals are going to win.
No.
I don't want you to be happy.
I would never.
Get you.
All right, well, up next is Ask Yee.
800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice.
Call Yee right now. Again, the number is 800-585-1051. you need relationship advice or any type of advice. Call you right now.
Again, the number is 800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tried my own country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder,
you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

Hey, guys.
I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs,
the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the
thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?
Well, that's when the real magic happens.
So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories
from the people you know, follow, and admire,
join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run
and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
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 okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Call up now for Ask Ye.
Eat the bread.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne
the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's
time for Ask Ye. What line you want to go to, Ye?
Let's talk to line one.
Hello, who's this? Anonymous.
Anonymous. What's your question for Ye?
Okay, so I have been
married for 20 plus years.
We have three kids
together, but I have, I don't think i've ever been
in love with him i love him i've never been sexually satisfied either but he's a good guy
he's a great father um but at this point in my life i'm getting older and i just want to be happy
but again i said we have three children my two younger children would be devastated if we were to separate.
Right.
So I've just been kind of staying there because of them.
But I really, I'm just getting to the point to where I'm just really unhappy.
And I just don't want to be there anymore.
But I don't know what to do because, like I said, I have my two young children.
And especially my youngest son, which he absolutely adores.
His dad is his hero.
And I tried to, like, kind of talk to him and see how he would feel.
And before I could even get it out, he just broke down in tears, crying, and no, and I don't want my daddy to go, and I don't want you.
It's just all this stuff.
So I'm like, okay, okay, okay, don't worry about it.
You know, nothing's going to happen.
But I don't want to continue to just do this and not be
happy.
Like, I feel like I'm 40 years old and I've never experienced, like, being in love with
someone.
Right.
And I want that.
And you said the sex is pretty terrible?
Yes, it's always been terrible.
So, you've just been having bad sex all this time?
Well, I've been kind of doing my own thing on the side.
Oh, so you've been cheating? Yes.
And he has no idea?
No. You know what's more
devastating than leaving your
husband and
getting divorced, but at least y'all were both
co-parent, is actually
having your husband find out that you've been cheating
on him and having to deal
with that and explain that to the kids.
That's true.
I would hate for my children to find that out, especially my daughter, because I don't
want my daughter to ever look at me in that light or think that that's okay, because it's
not.
I don't think that what I'm doing is right.
I just, it is what it is at this point, but I do see what you're saying.
Right.
And I don't think you also want to set a precedent for your kids to...
You would never want them to stay in something where
they're not happy, right? Or in love. No.
So you want to talk about setting an
example for your kids. Those are things you have to think
about. I guess I sit
my husband down first and let him know and then I
guess we could sit them down
and talk to them together.
Yeah, you and your husband have to get on the same accord. Do you think
he's happily married?
Yes.
You're like, the sex is terrible for me, but he's having a good time.
I mean, he's fine because I'm not the problem.
Right.
You know, he is in that department.
And he's tried different things, you know,
trying to get different pills and stuff like that.
But it's just, you know, it's not what it is.
And I do know there's way more important things than just sex.
So that's why, you know, also I say to him, because like I say, he's a great father.
Absolutely wonderful father.
He's a good provider.
Like, he does those type of things.
He just, he can be an a-hole sometimes and very male chauvinistic.
Even though we both work, I'm expected to still do everything around the house.
He does nothing. Right.
And you know, he can still be a great father. It ain't
like if y'all get divorced, he can't be a great dad.
But I'm all for
people finding their happiness. And if
you've been suffering for a long time and you've
even been cheating, I can't
imagine that this is a situation that seems
beneficial. And if he should
find out and then the kids find out, I think that
would be more devastating than anything. You gotta do what
you need to do in this situation
because you don't want to keep living your life like this.
But if you care enough, you shouldn't do those things
that he could potentially and will
potentially find out soon.
Right. Okay. Well, thank you very much.
You're welcome. Alright, have a good one.
Good luck. You too. Thank you.
ASCII, 805-85-1051.
We got more when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good luck. You too. Thank you. Ask Yee, 805-85-1051. We got more when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time for Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, my name's Kimberly.
Good morning.
Hey, Kimberly.
Good morning.
What's your question for Yee?
Okay.
So I've been an executive slash personal assistant in corporate America probably for the last nine or ten years.
I love it. I'm really good at it.
But it's the same thing every day, 830 to 5.
You know, I don't really get to travel with this particular executive like I used to. So basically my question is, is there a way, like, do you have
any tips for me to be able to like transition over to more of the industry side and strictly be a
personal assistant? Because I don't really need anybody famous. You know what I mean? Like I do
live in Atlanta, so there are a lot of people here, but people travel with security.
I mean, I do keep business cards on me, but is it weird to just walk up to somebody and say, hey, I'm a personal assistant.
Like, call me if you ever need somebody.
Like, how would you suggest that I transition over?
Well, a couple different things here.
I think it is better to try to go through somebody that you know to give you a referral or a recommendation.
So if there's somebody that you know someplace that you can actually approach and be like, hey, you know, if you know anybody that's looking for a personal assistant, I've been doing assistant work for 10 years now, you know, in corporate America, and I'm ready to make that transition.
So get ready for that.
Also, they do have all these uh different firms that you can
use that can get you some temp work so that you can actually start off trying to temp for somebody
in the music industry and then you can maybe perhaps once you start getting known uh transition
into a position like that sometimes people really want to actually hire people who don't work in the
music industry or previously haven't, just
because they feel like, you know, that person
isn't already going to have connections with certain
people, and they might like that. They just
want somebody that's going to be very organized,
that can send out those emails, that can
keep their schedules together,
that has no problem being able to travel at the
drop of a dime. Are you swimming somewhere?
And who's available 24 hours.
Say that again, DJ Indy.
What did he say? I said, are you swimming?
You sound like you're in the water.
Oh, no. It's raining
in Georgia. Oh, okay.
Oh, yeah. Sorry.
Yeah. Sorry about that.
So you should try.
I mean, do you guys have
admins? Like, do you guys have assistants?
How did you hire yours or how did you find yours?
Mine, the reason that I have the person who works with me now is she was working somewhere else.
She was working actually in fashion and she asked me to mentor her.
And then she just started working with me from that.
So I think it's important to build those relationships because people have to really kind of trust you.
So if that means you got to go out and network with people
and even to meet other assistants
or other people who work in the industry,
they'll know other people who are looking to hire
so they can refer you.
Okay.
All right.
Well, you guys have a good morning and a good day.
Thank you for that.
I appreciate it.
All right.
Good luck with your transition
and don't be afraid to look on places like LinkedIn
and other hiring
places so that you can see what's out there
and what's available. Okay, cool.
Alright, stay off the water too.
Alright. Ask Yee
800-585-1051
if you need relationship advice or any type of advice
call Yee now. Now we got rumors on the way Yee?
Yes, let's talk about A$AP Rocky.
He has his own issues that he's dealing
with. We'll tell you about his addiction problem
that is going to be on Angie Martinez's Untold Stories of Hip Hop.
All right, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Hey, I want to salute the one of our producers, Taylor.
Drop on the clues, moms, for Taylor.
Why you want to salute her?
Because she's in here with three bundles of Burmese,
three fresh bundles in her hair.
You can't tell her nothing today.
Salute to all the women out there with our fresh bundles.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Well, let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk A$AP Rocky.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report.
Rumor Report.
This is the Rumor Report.
Talk to him.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, A$AP Rocky, you can see him on Untold Stories of Hip Hop.
You know, that's Angie Martinez's show,
and they've actually put out a trailer.
The show comes on tomorrow.
And here's what he had to say about his sex addiction.
I was always a sex addict.
Really?
Yeah.
At what age, starting? Like, probably junior addict. Really? Yeah. At what age, starting?
Like, probably junior high.
Wow.
Yeah.
Like, I was horny.
I ain't even had no sperm in my testicles yet,
but I literally just was horny.
But you used the word sex addict.
I've been a sex addict for some time, yeah.
Since then?
I presume so.
These are things that people stay away from and they don't like to admit.
I can't be embarrassed about it.
I don't think he's a sex addict.
I mean, I can't.
I was reading about JFK Jr. and Ryan Holiday still, and this is the key.
And JFK Jr. is a sex addict.
He would literally get sick if he didn't sleep with another woman every couple of days.
Yeah, I saw that. He wrote that.
You know what I'm saying?
But we don't know if he gets sick or anything or if he was diagnosed.
I don't know if he was diagnosed or if he's a self-diagnosis.
Yeah, people actually go to therapy and treatment for that.
And rehab.
Remember, Eric Benet had to go get treatment for his sex addiction.
So if I can have a card so that says I can just like.
You don't get a card.
You cannot get a card.
No, you cannot get a card.
So what if you marry a sex addict?
Can you be mad if he sleeps with other women?
Especially if you knew going in he was a sex addict?
I mean, I would hope that a person, if they feel like they're an addict, they would seek some treatment.
Or just be an addict to that one person.
Isn't treatment...
It's just like sex.
Isn't treatment the pom-pom?
No, treatment is so you don't become an addict.
Just like if you're addicted to drugs, you want to try to get treatment so you're not addicted anymore.
It's not a bad addiction, though.
If you're addicted to crack, it's not like you'd be like, all right, well, take more crack.
Are you comparing sex to crack? No, addiction. It's an addiction. But it's not like a bad addiction. If you're addicted to crack, it's not like you'll take more crack. Are you comparing sex to crack?
No, addiction.
It's an addiction.
But it's not like a bad addiction.
I don't think it's good to be an addict.
It's bad if you sleep around with everybody else.
Right.
All right, now let's talk about Rolling Loud.
They were supposed to be in Hong Kong this year for the first time ever,
but they have canceled for safety concerns.
They said,
We are saddened to announce that Rolling Loud Hong Kong,
which was scheduled to occur on October 19th and 20th at Art Park, is being canceled.
After consulting with security experts, it has been determined that it is not possible to organize the upcoming Rolling Loud Hong Kong edition as we had hoped without endangering the safety and well-being of our fans, artists and staff.
So that's not going down if you were planning to go to Rolling Loud in Hong Kong.
Now Gina Rodriguez has some issues.
She has issued an apology for using the N-word in a recent Instagram story.
Here's that N-word usage.
Voodoo.
I could do what you do.
Believe me.
Niggas give me heebie-jeebies.
So people were very offended by her using that word, and she did issue this apology.
I just wanted to reach out and apologize.
I am sorry.
I am sorry if I offended anyone
by singing along to the Fugees
to a song I love that I grew up on.
I love Lauryn Hill,
and I really am sorry if I offended you.
I'm confused.
Okay, niggas, let's talk.
All right, I'm confused.
Because Latin people have been saying N-words for a long time.
Fat Joe says it.
J-Lo says it.
That's what I'm saying.
Y'all just keep moving the goalposts when it comes to who can use the word.
Cypress Hill said it.
I think people have problems with Gina Rodriguez in particular.
Why?
For comments that she's made in the past, if you remember.
I don't know anything about her.
All right, so she's an actress, and she was talking about pay equity,
and this was a huge deal when it happened.
She was saying that, on average, Latina women make less than white and black women, which is an untrue statement in Hollywood because black women make less than white and Latina women.
And so people were upset about that.
What that got to do with right now.
She was uninformed.
What that got to do with this situation.
And then there were other things that she had said and referred to before.
Now, that's, I think, in particular why they don't like her.
Well, what that got to do with this situation.
I'm just speaking to the context of this situation.
I guess that's her separating herself from black people in that situation
because she identifies as a Latina woman,
and she's talking about Latina women make less than black women.
And so I guess because she's Latina,
they feel like she shouldn't be using the N-word
because she doesn't identify as black.
But now she is saying she does identify as black.
She actually went on Sway in the morning.
But what about all the Latinas who do identify?
I mean, all the Latinas who identify as Latina but still use it.
Like, Fat Joe uses it.
Cardi uses it.
Nora uses it.
J.Lo.
Kasha69 uses it.
J.Lo uses it.
I'm just saying, like, why is it okay for them but not for her?
And she said, as Latinos, we have black Latinos.
That is what we are.
I am not.
So I think when I speak about Latino advocacy,
people believe I mean only my skin color.
I'm so confused.
I'm lost.
I'll just tell you what she said.
I don't know what you niggas are.
I don't know.
I don't have a problem with Fat Joe saying it.
I don't have a problem with Cardi B.
I don't have a problem with J-Lo.
I don't have a problem with Nori.
They are.
Probably because I look at them as niggas. Yeah, that's what I said. They are. Maybe people don't look at her like that. I don't have a problem with Nori. They are. Probably because I look at them as niggas.
Yeah, that's what I said.
They are.
Maybe people don't look at her like that.
I don't know. I don't know anything about Tina Rodriguez.
What about Sofia Vergara?
Would you have a problem if she did that?
Who is that?
Sofia Vergara.
Who is that?
The highest paid actress?
Modern Family.
Modern Family?
I don't watch Modern Family.
I don't know who that is.
I don't see it.
She's fine.
She's like the highest paid Latin actress.
J-Lo from the hood. She's from the Bronx, so I get it. Pat Jones from the hood. She's fine. She's like the highest paid Latin actress. J-Lo from the hood.
She's from the Bronx,
so I get it.
Pat Jones from the hood.
By the way,
by the way,
by the way,
even outside of that,
it's always tricky,
especially when it's in music.
You know what I'm saying?
Because she's singing the lyrics.
Yeah, she was just singing
the lyrics along.
Sometimes it can slip
out of your head.
I always go back to that
episode of Girlfriends
when Lynn's sister
accidentally said it.
It's wrong for them
to say it,
but sometimes when you
just caught up in the music,
you just, you know,
it can come out.
I've definitely been
to concerts and seen
all the white people
around me singing along.
That's what I'm saying.
And I'm not making
no excuses for it.
I'm just simply saying
I can see how that can happen.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee
and that is your Rumor Report.
It's hard to edit yourself
when you got them songs going.
You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. All right. Well, thank you, Miss Yee. that is your Rumor Report. It's hard to edit yourself when you got them songs going, you know what I'm saying?
Mm-hmm.
All right, well, thank you, Miss Yee. When we come back, we got the mix for Vote.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Oh, and I want to say happy born day to my little homie, Ivy Rivera, man.
Drop on the clues box for Ivy Rivera.
What's up, Ivy?
Yeah.
Happy birthday.
I just saw her at Culture Con.
Happy birthday.
That's my little partner.
She got a cute new haircut.
She do?
Mm-hmm.
Okay, happy born day to my partner.
Yeah, happy birthday.
I'm not going to post no picture of you since you got a new haircut, then. I'm not going to do that Mm-hmm. Okay. Happy birthday to my party. Happy birthday. I'm not going to post no picture of you
since you got a new haircut then.
I'm not going to do that
on the ground.
Okay.
All right.
When we come back to mixing,
we were talking about
K-Camp earlier,
so we're going to start
the mix off with some K-Camp.
Yeah, let's go.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Let's celebrate K-Camp today.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We're kicking it
with Angela Rye this morning.
And if you just missed it,
we were talking about
the debates last night, and you had a question, Ye just missed it, we were talking about the debates last night.
And you had a question, Yee?
Yes, we're talking about Andrew Yang, his universal basic income.
It seems like that is something that, as you know, he's been touting since the very beginning of his campaign.
So what do you think about Andrew Yang's performance last night?
And do you feel like that is a good idea?
So it's so funny.
I feel like there were three candidates who really disappeared on stage to me last night.
And that was Andrew Yang is one of them.
Joe Biden is another one.
And Tulsi Gabbard is my third.
Andrew Yang, I think to me, he has to at some point develop.
Like we're talking about Elizabeth Warren, who actually has plans.
Bernie Sanders, who has plans.
Joe Biden, who has plans.
Andrew Yang is going to have to flush out some of these plans a lot more. You can only hand out so many checks, right? So I think
that that's a problem. Andrew Yang is Ant-Man. He's cool. He has some moments, but he shouldn't
lead the Avengers. Okay, that's fine. Yes. And maybe he should. Everything doesn't go back to
comics, bro. Yes, it does. What is happening in here?
The other thing that I would say is there were some candidates who had meh performances.
And I hate to say it because there are two people who also had strong moments.
But for the general consensus, I've seen Beto, who I just did a podcast with,
and Julian Castro, who had a really strong moment
on Tatiana Jefferson.
The only moment we had
to talk about racial justice
and police brutality
and violence
in that debate
because there was not
a question on it
was from Julian Castro.
But he didn't show up
in any other moment to me.
I didn't understand
why he brought that up
in that moment.
We're talking about
gun control and gun violence.
Because he was saying
that gun violence,
police violence is also gun violence.
So does he want to take guns from the police?
I didn't understand.
No, I think that what he's saying is that
regardless of what the policy prescriptions are,
we have to ensure that there are parameters
that folks are accountable.
And I'm glad that he pivoted in that way.
There's no way that a shooting like that
should have just happened a few days ago.
I agree.
And it'd be completely absent from the debate stage.
That's right.
I will say this.
There need to be seven people that need to drop out right now.
Okay, who are your seven?
Tulsi Gabbard, Tom Steyer, Cory Booker, Andrew Yang,
Beto O'Rourke, Amy Klobuchar, Julian Castro.
All of them can go.
Yeah, him.
All of them can go.
Why?
Because I just think, like you said,
they only get 75 seconds to explain what their policies are
to the American people.
Everybody's not going to Elizabeth Warren's website.
So let's keep the five that actually have a chance of winning this thing and let them be able to get more time to talk to the American people.
It's interesting, though. Things have fluctuated so much from the beginning of the first debate to now.
Those five are so diverse. The seven I named have not gotten any traction.
What you're doing by eliminating Cory Booker for example and Julian Castro
if Julian Castro was not on that stage
there wouldn't have been a mention of police violence.
A core issue for us when you look at
the Black Futures Lab
Black Census they did
this year. Police brutality
is one of the issues. Well shouldn't that be up to the
moderators though? Yes but in the meantime
what happens in a primary is
you have people who talk
about different policy issues that are important
to them, and once those voices are
absent, the issues become more
diluted and less diverse. So let's bring Mary Ann
Williamson back to talk about reparations. Let's bring Tim
Ryan back to talk about mental health. She's got to get poll numbers
and they have to raise money. I think there's too many
options, too. I think people are confused.
There are a lot of options. There's too much to look at. It's a lot.
There's a lot of options, but there's a lot of time. Mayor Pete's gay. I think people are confused. There's too much to look at. It's a lot. It's a lot. And no problem with the verse. But there's a lot of time.
Mayor Pete's gay.
Elizabeth Warren's an Indian.
Senator Harris is a woman of color.
Bernie Sanders.
You know what?
Joe Biden.
That's a diverse panel.
I'm not doing this.
Can we go to impeachment?
Terrible.
Where are we with impeachment?
Are we close?
I was wondering how you'd get to that.
No, but you were like, where are we starting?
And I was like, really?
You're asking where we're starting? Now, what about impeachment? Where are we at? Oh, my God. Are we almost there? were like, where are we starting? I was like, really? You're asking where we're starting.
Now, what about impeachment?
Where are we?
Oh, my God.
Are we almost there?
Are we close?
Are we far?
Is it going to happen?
So, here's what I have to say,
and I have to tie this back
into the debate really quick,
just to give some kudos
to somebody who you said
who just made it
to the debate stage
for the first time.
You already want him
to drop out.
Tom Steyer.
He has been calling
for Donald Trump's impeachment
for two years.
Me too.
He said that. Yes, we have. He was up here talking about Trump's impeachment for two years. Me too. He said that.
Yes, we have.
He was up here talking about it.
Yes.
Right?
And so I think that the reality of it is,
it's someone who had the foresight.
Right.
And the knowledge and the platform
and the money to spend on commercials
should have the opportunity to weigh in on this a little bit.
I think my biggest frustration right now,
and I just probably have to get over it,
is why did it take us so long?
We had so many examples of, you know, corruption, so many examples of misleading statements, of conflicts of interest.
Frankly, violations of the emoluments clause just on their face.
Like, why did we wait until there was this Ukrainian example with Joe Biden?
And so I'm just irritated by that.
You know it's too late, right? Shut up.
It's too late. Anyway.
It's too late. The bottom line is, when is it too late?
To be complaining? No, I'm talking about when you see guys, when you see what Mike
Pence and all of them are doing now. Sorry to tell you to shut up
then. I thought you were talking about me whining.
My bad. I'm used to it. When you see
Mike Pence and Rudy Giuliani and all of them
not complying with subpoenas and not complying with the impeachment inquiry, they're letting you know we don't give a damn about democracy.
We don't give a damn about laws. Do you think somebody like that in 2020 is going to peacefully transition out the White House if they lose?
So I don't think that anybody expects for impeachment to mean peacefully transitioning anywhere.
But I think the only pushback I would offer to you is that Republicans have one of their talking points right.
And that is that with Bill Clinton and with Richard Nixon, there was a formal vote in the House before there was compliance with, you know, subpoenas specifically related to impeachment.
But it's not required.
No, it's not required.
But I am saying that part of that part of it is right.
In modern history, there has been a vote.
And I think they're calling Nancy Pelosi's bluff.
But not complying with subpoenas?
They haven't been complying with subpoenas.
So why would we expect them to do different now?
Exactly.
So the lawlessness has been existing.
So then take the vote.
Like what's happening right now is, one, it was a lack of courage to not go forward with impeachment when we knew there was enough.
Right. When Jerry Nadler was telling us, when Adam Schiff was telling us, when the Mueller report told us.
But now you have the votes, you have the support, but you're still not taking the vote because you're afraid that it is going to compromise the House, the wins in the House.
In the long run, that's going to compromise our ability to keep the House. So I'm just super frustrated with the strategy because
it seems so short-sighted, and
it seems like we'll compromise democracy
and what's the right thing to do. Democracy is
compromised already. I agree, but it seems like we'll
compromise it even more by not
doing the right thing. And I think that that makes
everybody culpable at this point.
Angela, I gotta go. Yes, and also yesterday
during the debates, like, everybody would mention
Russian interference in the elections.
But there was no question about that.
The question should be, OK, we know there was Russian interference.
How do we combat that?
Yeah.
There was just mentions of it.
So to me, I'm like, the fight is fixed in 2020, bro.
Well, and it will be, especially because now it's clear that there wasn't just Russian interference.
There was also Ukrainian interference.
And we saw that it went down to the Florida gubernatorial race where Andrew Gillum was running.
Yep.
One of the Ukrainian businessmen was standing right behind Ron DeSantis, who was his opponent, at the victory rally.
So it's a huge problem.
So what do we do?
There's nothing we can do.
Yes, there is.
They need to vote on the election security bills, one.
They need, they have to.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
What you're rolling your eyes at?
I'm rolling my eyes at Angela because she said overwhelming votes.
That's what all Democrats are saying.
To me, that's an admission of defeat.
I mean, that's how Obama won.
What?
No, no, oh, no.
It's a different game, though.
Yes.
It's a different, like, we can't just go.
I think that it's irresponsible for us to tell people to go vote if we know that their votes could be compromised.
That's all I'm saying.
Right.
But we still have to tell people to go vote. Yes. that their votes could be compromised. That's all I'm saying. But we still have to tell people to go vote.
And vote on that as well. Before we get to
voting this time, we need to make sure that their votes
are protected, that machines can't
be hacked, and that
the systems can't be compromised. That's
everything we experienced in 2016 and 2018.
People feel like, well, it's compromised, so I'm just
not going to vote because it doesn't matter.
But it can matter
if we get them to pass. So
the House has already passed these election security
measures. All of these machines
are hackable because they don't have the
funding to replace them. So as soon as they have
the funding to replace them, absolutely your vote
matters. Absolutely your vote is your power.
But I feel like I am being
reckless and irresponsible telling people
right now that it will count. It's
not necessarily counting.
It didn't count in Andrew's race.
It didn't count in Stacey's race.
And they got to stop suppressing votes.
Right.
And so part of that means don't just believe your political power happens at the ballot box.
It happens before.
Right.
So you have to make sure you're registered.
Call 224-3121.
Make Mitch McConnell pass these bills.
Yes.
202-224-3121.
Yes.
Register, Angela.
Yes.
Make sure that your registration is valid.
Yes, make sure that you are
fighting the power. Check out Stacey Abrams
Fair Fight 2020. Yes, come on.
What else you got? That's a good word.
Instead of just complaining. Well, thank you for
joining us. Thank you guys for having me.
Well, thank you for joining us. When we come back, we got the
positive note. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
It's DJ Envy, Angela
Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. He is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, shout out to Benjamin Crump for joining us this morning.
Yes, Attorney Ben Crump.
Yes, and I cannot wait to post that clip of Ben Crump's plan to go back to the U.N.
and present the case of genocide on black people in America to the U.N.
I think that is a brilliant, great idea.
And he has some great things to say about Hampton, too, Envy, so he shouted you out. Yeah, I had to the UN. I think that is a brilliant, great idea. And he had some great things to say about
Hampton too, Envy, so he shouted you out.
Yeah, I had to cut out. I actually had a closing on
a home that I couldn't miss, but
I missed it. I had a great conversation with him outside
and hopefully I'll have many more.
Charlamagne, you got a positive note? Yes, man.
I just want to talk to everybody that may
be having some struggles
with their mental strength this morning, man.
You know, you woke up a way. It happens.
I just want to tell you that mental scrimp is not
the ability to stay out of the darkness.
It's the ability to sit present in the darkness
knowing that the light
will shine again.
Stay mentally healthy, y'all.
Breakfast club, bitches!
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. 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.
What is that?
Bullets.
