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 their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Come to the Breakfast Club. I call Mr. Hot Seat. You're alive. You're alive. Can I live? You are out of control. I can't even deal with you. Y'all are so petty.

Why are y'all so petty? The world's most dangerous morning show. DJ Envy. Captain of this bitch. Angela Yee. I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way. Charlamagne Tha God. The ruler of rubbing you the wrong way.

The Breakfast Club. Made for everybody. Good morning USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo! Good morning, Anjali. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne there? I guess not.

I'm sure he's on his way. There was a little bit of snow on the ground. It wasn't that bad. Okay, well, it's Monday. Woo-hoo. Now, let me tell you, I went outside this morning. This was a good morning, and, you know, it was a little bit of snow, so there was snow on top of the cars. Somebody must have took the snow off my car because my car was clear of snow.

The windshield wipers were up. That's nice. So whoever did that this morning, thank you very much. That was very helpful. Oh, that was nice. Now, I'm stuck in Charlotte. I was supposed to be back last night. You know, I had a bunch of parties down here for CIAA, and they canceled all the flights.

They said they were expecting a couple of feet of snow. That's what they told me at the airport. So I had to stay here for the night, and they closed all the flights. They said they were expecting a couple of feet of snow. That's what they told me at the airport. So I had to stay here for the night. And they closed all the schools and everything. And it's not that much snow, is it? Yeah, they kept saying all day that it was going to snow. They said it was going to start snowing at 1 in the afternoon. And they closed the schools today.

But it's not that bad at all. All right. Well, I broadcast them from Charlotte. And shout out to everybody that was out here for CIAA. It's always a great, great, great time. Every year we have the Breakfast Club Day Party. Shout out to Lil Duval. He came and performed.

Shout out to 2 Chainz. I actually ran into 2 Chainz down there. We did something for Cricket Wireless so he was performing so I ran into him. It was a great event. I love CIAA. You get to see people that listen to the radio all the time. You get to connect, take pictures, just talk and have conversations. So shout out to everybody that came out to North Carolina for CIAA. Now, you were out in Albany, right?

Yes, I had to do a Black Women in Media conference with the NAACP. So shout out to everyone that put that together. It was me, Ashley Sharpton, and Rakia Mays was on that event as well. And then I also did the Black Women in Tech conference. And I had to interview Kenya Moore from Real Housewives of Atlanta. So I did like the closing interview for that conference.

That was really dope too. Oh, you want to hear something else I did this weekend? So I was with my mom yesterday. And remember when I co-hosted The Real for a week? They had put up a picture of my parents' wedding on there.

They were talking about that. And somebody that, her cousin, her first cousin, who she hasn't seen in over 40 years, his daughter saw it and then got back in contact. So we went to go. I met them for the first time, my mother's side of the family. Wow. She was very excited because my mom's the only child. Both her parents, my grandparents passed away. That was cool.

So she doesn't really have any family like that. All right. Now, did you see Leaving't really have any family like that. Alright. Now did you see Leaving Neverland? I did watch that last night. Now if you haven't seen it, of course, HBO put out a docuseries, Leaving Neverland. Last night was part one. Tonight is part two. Yeah, you know how you get the

free trial on HBO just so you can watch it? I got the free trial. I gotta cancel it today. You don't have HBO? Not on my laptop. I'm in Charlotte. You. You don't have HBO? Not on my laptop. I'm in Charlotte. You know, you can log in from your internet at home. You can go online. I couldn't figure it out last night, so I just did the free trial. If you cancel it within 24 hours or something like that, they don't charge you, so I'm about to cancel it in a second.

Yeah, you should be able to watch that anyway. What did you think? I think that it was very disturbing. It was a lot of very detailed descriptions of what they allege. Wade Robson and James Safechuck allege that Michael Jackson did to them when they were younger. And the parents were on there. And I was really in awe that parents would allow things like this for their child to stay in someone else's room, an adult. Yeah, it was very disturbing. It was a little too long.

It was just too, too, too long. They stretched it out. Yeah, they stretched it out a lot as you can tell. They were trying to get as much out of this as possible. The only thing is, I'm just, I'm stuck between do I believe or not. That's the only thing. Because some of the descriptive things that they

are saying and some of the things that they were saying about Michael Jackson, you know, it's difficult to listen to and watch because you know, he was your he was like one of my superheroes growing up. I love Michael Jackson. I did all the dances. I watched him. I know people who don't want to

watch it because they don't want to not love Michael Jackson. I just want to know the truth. Good morning, Yeezus. Oh, good morning, Charlamagne. What's happening? Look at him busting in the door. What up, Charlamagne?

We are getting ready for Front Page News. Yeah, no, Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders will be joining us. Oh, we're not doing Front Page News? No, no, I'm just saying Bernie Sanders will be

joining us this morning. He couldn't get back because of the weather. Oh, he on the ISBN. Hey, Charlamagne. You thought I was in here talking will be joining us this morning. He didn't see that. And we didn't see Charlotte. He couldn't get back because of the weather. Oh, he on the ISBN. Hey, Charlamagne. You thought I was in here talking to myself? I did. I'm not going to lie to you.

I'm not going to lie. Anytime there's any type of disruptive weather, I know Charlamagne's going to come in. I didn't know it snowed that much. We just were talking about how it wasn't that bad. That's a lie. Yeah, but they canceled all the flights. And they canceled school in Jersey this morning. I mean, it was about six inches, seven inches.

And when you're trying to pull out the driveway, that's a lie. Wow. Yeah, that's a lie. Okay. All right. Well, Bernie Sanders will be joining us this morning. We'll kick him and Bernie next hour. Never heard of him.

He's running for president for 2020, a senator from Vermont, so we'll talk to him. And let the record show, this is not the first time Bernie Sanders has been on The Breakfast Club. For some reason, people think these presidential candidates are just coming here now. No, they was coming in 2016 as well. And we have some later this week as well. So you'll see about that. All right. Now, front page news, what are we talking about?

Well, let's talk about these back-to-back tornadoes that happened. And at least 23 people have been killed. Okay. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Morning, locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne

the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Happy Monday. Let's get in some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, right now, there are 80 million people under winter alerts. That's from Colorado to Maine as a snowstorm has hit. So, they said it's, from experience, better to be prepared in these situations.

If you're not prepared before the storm, it is too late. So a lot of schools are closed today. A lot of flights are canceled, as you know, Envy, because you are stuck in Charlotte. Yeah, so just make sure you check out whatever flight you're supposed to be on because in some places, like in New Jersey, it's a state of emergency. Charlotte's not a bad place to be stuck in. You can go to Merch for breakfast. Drop on the Clues Bond for the 704 damage. Trust me, I know I've, it's a state of emergency. Charlotte's not a bad place to be stuck in. You can go to Mertz for breakfast. Drop on the Clues Bond for the 704 damage.

Trust me, I know. I've been stuck in Charlotte because of snow. Yeah, no, I love it. Actually, Charlotte may have left you in Charlotte because of snow. Exactly. But I love Charlotte. I mean, I didn't really have a problem staying there. The weather's nice.

The weather's beautiful. The food is great. It was pretty cool. And if you get stuck in the airport, they got a Bojangles. You know what I'm saying? Go get your little chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit, little blueberry biscuit. You know what I mean?

Now, since we're talking about natural disasters, they were back-to-back tornadoes in Alabama. At least 23 people have been killed. They are saying they do still have a search going on, just trying to find if there's any more people as well. And they're looking primarily in the area where the damage is most significant. So, very devastating situation.

Tornadoes are scary. Tornadoes sound like trains in the sky. I've never been in a tornado. Me neither. Or witnessed one. Yeah, me neither. All right, now, Stephon Clark, you guys remember that story? This was in Sacramento about a year ago.

Police fatally shot Stephon Clark. He was 22 years old, unarmed. He died in his grandmother's backyard. If you don't recall the story, that's when the police were chasing him. They were looking for somebody, they said, that was breaking car windows. And they chased him. He ended up in his grandmother's backyard. After he turned the corner over there when they were chasing him,

they ended up fatally killing him. Now, according to police officers, he turned around and he was in a shooting stance with his arms extended. They thought he had a gun. Turns out he only had a cell phone. They fired 20 shots at him, hitting him at least seven times. Now, these police officers have not been charged. They are not facing criminal charges.

Of course they didn't. After shooting and killing Stephon Clark. Now, remember, Ebony K. Williams was on The Breakfast Club and here's what she had to say when this all happened. We're going to go through the same thing, y'all. When Stephon Clark's case comes up, it's an inevitable outcome until the laws look different. Use of deadly force, that's the magic word, right, is unlawful and unjustified if and when the following criteria aren't met. So there's no weapon or the weapon wasn't in reasonable reach of the person.

That's a shift in presumption, y'all. Right now, the language typically reads the officer is justified unless. See how that's different? There's a presumption of justification by any and all actions of these officers unless these special circumstances are met. Very important to note that was last April. Drop on the clues bombs for Ebony K. Williams. And she's right. You know what I'm saying? You're not going to get justice until legislation

is changed, okay? It's all about the legislation, people. We got to get the legislation changed in order to get justice. Alright, well that is your front page news. Alright, well get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. Hit us up right now.

Maybe you had a horrible weekend, a bad weekend. Maybe you're stuck somewhere right now. Yeah. Maybe you're stuck somewhere. Maybe somebody's stuck in you. All right. All right. That's how you want to start it?

All right. But get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you guys watch Leaving Neverland, we would love for you to call up and comment on that as well. Dogs listen to The Breakfast Club as well, okay? I don't think so. I'm sure there's two dogs stuck together somewhere in America.

Get it off your chest. Or if you need to just spread some positivity, you can do that as well. 800-585-1051. Hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart?

But fortunately, there's one place you can go where hiring is simple, fast, and smart. A place where growing businesses connect to qualified candidates. That place is ziprecruiter.com slash breakfast. It's been so challenging because we own a business, Juices for Life in Brooklyn, and the turnover rate, I mean, there's a lot of people there, it's their first job,

or they're doing this as they're going to school at the same time, so people's circumstances change all the time. We're always having to hire new people, and anybody that gets hired has to have a food handler's license, so that also narrows down the playing field. Fortunately, with ZipRecruiter, we are able to find qualified candidates. It doesn't take too long, and we don't have to worry about applicants who don't have that license. ZipRecruiter makes it so easy. Right now, my listeners can try ZipRecruiter for free at this exclusive web address. ZipRecruiter.com slash breakfast. That's ZipRecruiter.com

Hi, good morning. It's me, Salem. Hey. Hey, Salem. Hey, Salem. Good morning. You guys, my anxiety is on like Hey, Salem. Hey, Salem. Good morning. You guys, my anxiety is on like 1,000. I need help and I need advice.

Talk to me. Okay, so this past weekend, I lost my driver's license. And you know, you need your driver's license to basically live. How'd you do that? I was at the mall and I let my best friend's two-year-old play with it. But you know, it's not even the two-year-old's fault. It's my fault. It's really my fault.

So yeah, I lost my driver's license. So now, you know, it's not even the two-year-old's fault. It's my fault. It's really my fault. So, yeah, I lost my driver's license. So now, you know, I have a warrant or whatever. So I don't know what to do. I'm scared to step in the DMV. And then Dallas right now is doing, like, this roundout. They're just trying to catch everybody with warrants from your job to your house this month. And I don't know what to do because I'm scared.

You get, like, I don't know what to do. I think you should just see and check and see if you got a warrant. You can run your... What are the warrants for? I definitely do. What are the warrants for? I definitely do. What are the warrants for? It's like traffic violations. Nothing major, you know?

Go pay your tickets. Oh, that's not the problem. I'm going to do that. I'm definitely going to do that. But don't they arrest you right there on the DMV for just like traffic? Our white cameraman, Steve, Steve and the White Demon, he said you should go online and do it. I don't think you can do it online. I think you got to go in there.

Are you going to take that out, Sam? You don't hear me for the next couple of days? Yeah, I'm thinking about it. I don't think you can do it online. I think you've got to go in there. Well, do go ahead and take that out, Sal. If you don't hear me for the next couple days, yeah, I'm thinking about it. I already told my manager, hey, I got this PTO set up, so POP holds it down, I guess. Go ahead and take that out, you know what I'm saying? Make sure you got some makeup on for your mugshot. You're a pretty girl. But I think you can pay your fines. You can pay your fines online.

Go to DMV.com. I think you can pay your fines online. That's what I was thinking, Evie. If I just start paying, like, right now, just start doing a payment plan, would that help? I don't think you can do a payment plan. I think you got to pay in full and get your license back. How much you owe? Nah, I mean, I probably owe like a good $1,200. I'll just pay that.

You owe $1,200? Jeeks. Yeah, I think I'm going to just pay that. Salem, I'm going to do something for you right now, okay? Uh-oh, here it go. Here it go. Let's listen. I'm going to pray

good morning. I'm calling to say that I'm blessed today. And I love all y'all, especially DJ Envy and Charlamagne. Charlamagne, he's so funny. Thank you, baby.

You're welcome. Anything else? This is awkward. I'm still with her. Yes, you are still with her. Yeah, but dad. I think you're trying to turn us on, but, you know, it's not doing a good job. I'm touching my nipple a little bit.

Nope, I'm a faithful black miss. It's silly. Anything else? Yeah. I want to know, what do y'all think about the property taxes going up three times? Property taxes went up three times. Where? I didn't hear about that. What?

Yeah, they're saying they're charging everybody for property taxes going up three times. Where you getting this information from, Ted? On the news? I don't know about that. It must be in Jersey. I've actually heard the opposite. Where you calling from?

Cleveland. No. Oh, they charging y'all more money to live in Cleveland now? Yeah. LeBron left. Yeah, but forget him. I'm going to be honest with you. They should be paying y'all to stay in Cleveland.

That's true. That's true. You know what I'm saying? Until they rebuild the Cavs. All right. Have a blessed day, boo. Yeah, have a good one. All right.

Salute to Cleveland. Appreciate Cleveland. And everybody who listens to us on Don't Get Me to Lie. Come on, find it. Don't Get Me to Lie. What's Cleveland? Hold on. All right, here it go right here.

Sleuth to everybody who listens to us on Real 106.1 in Cleveland. What's happening? All right. All right. Get it off your chest.

Hey, prayer's up for Diddy, too, man. Why? I saw something. I saw a Shade Room read. Oh, yeah. Man, that broke my heart yesterday, man. When he said he should have married Kim Porter. Yeah, but you know what, man?

People are so disrespectful. He posted a picture with Kim Porter and he put a broken heart and this dude said when she was alive, he didn't want to marry her, confused Negro. Get the F out of here. And Diddy put, I know, played myself, SMH. Why would you even comment on that man's broken heart picture of his dead

baby mother? Somebody he's been knowing forever. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, you're right. People look crazy, yo. Yeah, pray for Diddy. Shout out to Diddy, man. Yeah, unfortunately, when people post things on social media, it leaves them open for people to say all kinds of crazy things. Which they will. Get it off your

chest. 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way? Well, since we're talking about Michael Jackson leaving Neverland this morning, let's talk about what Oprah Winfrey has to say, because you guys know she's going to be hosting and had to sit down with the alleged abused children. Well, former children.

No, it comes on after the second documentary. She did it last week, but it's going to air tomorrow. I mean today. Sorry. We'll get into that next. And also, don't forget, Bernie Sanders will be joining us. He's running for the president of the United States in 2020. He's the senator of Vermont.

Yeah, so we'll kick it with Bernie Sanders next hour. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Rumors on the way. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Back to the work week. Happy Monday. Now let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Leaving Neverland. It's about time. What's going on?

Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Leaving Neverland was on last night, and I know a lot of people are not watching it because they feel like it's not a fair depiction.

Some people feel like, okay, this whole thing is a ploy for money from the accusers. Some people feel like Michael Jackson's not here to defend himself. The family has been defending Michael Jackson, saying these things did not take place. There was previously a trial where these same people testified that nothing happened to them. In defense of another young man. In defense of another young man who says that he was also abused by Michael Jackson. They did take the stand and say that never happened. I don't see the point of this whole thing.

I'm going to tell you what happened in it and we'll discuss the point of that as well. Because Oprah is also tomorrow going to do Oprah Winfrey Presents After Neverland. And that will also air on HBO following the conclusion of that two-part film. Oprah catching a lot of slander this weekend. I've never seen them slander Oprah like this. All right, now let's discuss James Safechuck. He was one of the young men that met Michael Jackson when he was very young. And he was invited to dance on stage with him.

And after that, formed a relationship with him where he really looked up to Michael Jackson, was going on the road with him, his mom was taking him to his house, he was spending the night, all of those things. Now here's what he had to say about getting dressed. He would run drills with me where we'd be in the hotel room and he would pretend like somebody was coming in and you had to get dressed as fast

as possible without making noise all right he also talks about uh just sexual relationships that they had and michael jackson masturbating michael would like it if you would bend over and like spread open your cheeks that's what he. And then he would masturbate. And he liked if I rubbed his nipples. You should have led with that, wouldn't you? Why? That was just a good lead-off. Stop it. Stop it. Now, James Safechuck also discussed how everything had to be kept a secret.

It was very much a secret. And he would tell me that if anybody found out, his life would be over and my life would be over. And that's something he tells you over and over again. He also felt like he was married to Michael Jackson because he did get jewelry and a ring from him. So we were like this married couple. And I say married because we had this mock wedding ceremony in his bedroom.

And we like filled out some vows. And the ring is nice. I was really into jewelry. And he would reward me with jewelry for doing sexual acts. It was crazy. It was crazy hearing and watching that. And what was really odd was that the parents were allowing a lot of things. Supposedly, they didn't know to the extent of what was happening,

but it's just weird that you would allow your child to be spending the night and you would be boxed out, you know, and they would be spending the night. In the bed, in the same bedroom and everything. Man, in the bedroom. Now, here is what James' mother had to say. You go from a normal lifestyle, day after day, everything's the same, to this big star calling your house, wanting to come to your home and have dinner in your home,

wanting to spend the night in your little house. This was all so overwhelming and like a fairy tale. And I got lost in it. And I know my husband got lost in it too. You know that big star could have just wanted a sense of normalcy too, right? That's probably why.

Not having an eight-year-old sleep in your bed and have to sleep all night. As far as calling their house and saying I want to come over for dinner and just cool out. Well, here's Wade Robson's details of his relationship with Michael Jackson. Let's hear more from these perjurers. Him talking to me, you and I were brought together by God. This is how we show our love.

So taking showers together, you know, fondling and kissing, tongue in mouth. He would put my fingers on his nipples, tell me to squeeze them, and then Michael pulling my pants and my underwear down and going down and starting to perform oral sex. Quickly it turned into having me perform oral sex on him too. A full

adult grown man sized penis in my mouth. In a little seven year old's mouth. Listen, I didn't watch this special because I think it's unethical. I don't respect the energy of it. Like, those guys were under oath and defended Michael Jackson against another kid. And then when

things didn't go their way, they recant their story, file a civil suit, civil suit gets dismissed, and now you're out here doing Leave It Neverland? Well, they explain how they fell out of favor with Michael Jackson as they got older, because you have to recall that they met them when they were like five years old, seven years old. So you can't hold children. You know some questions.

Because a lot of people do when they are young and they get molested are ashamed of it, embarrassed. So I'm not going to discount that. You're not going to discount the fact that they lied on the open defense of another kid. Let me ask. There's some questions I want Oprah to ask, right? Evan Chandler. That's who accused Michael Jackson. They defended Michael against

him because, I wonder if they did that because they didn't believe Evan or because they thought they were protecting Michael. And Evan Chandler committed suicide. So does that make them feel guilty in any way? Yeah, I'm sure they do feel guilty about it. Well guys, we didn't see the whole thing. Let's watch the whole thing. And they did discuss why they did take the stand

as well and defend Michael Jackson. But we'll get more into that because rumor has it. Can I ask one question for the room, though? Yes. I don't know if Michael touched these little boys or not, but let's just say hypothetically he did. All right? This Leaving Neverland special shows us that. Now what?

I mean, there is no now what because, like you said, Michael Jackson was actually found not guilty. And he's dead. I mean, we're just hearing somebody sigh. I mean, it's a little difficult. He's not here. He's not here to defend himself. What's the point of this? I feel like HBO just wanted the kind of traction Lifetime got with their

surviving R. Kelly doc. You know what I'm saying? Well, maybe something like this can encourage other people who have gone through something to be honest about it. So you believe them? You're asking me why? What would they do? You're saying if this was true, and I was answering your question, if it is true and if they were touched,

what would be the point of it? And I'm saying the point of something like this is to encourage other people that might have been in a similar situation to have some support. Just like the Me Too movement,

when people are detailing things that happen to them, even if there's nothing legally they can do, maybe that is something that will show support for other people going through something.

If it's not true, it's just going to encourage more money plays and plays for viewership like this special. We'll talk about it more in the 8 o'clock hour. Now, coming up, we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee?

Yes, we are going to talk about this weather that's really causing a lot of disruptions for people if they're traveling, going to school because maybe you can't. Also, something that a 12-year-old got charged, felony charges for. You won't believe it. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ MV, Angela Yee. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Let's get in some front pages. What are we talking about, Yee? Now, first of all, the weather. Just be careful if you're traveling.

There's major travel disruptions that are affecting lots of people from Maine all the way to Colorado. So just be careful of that snowstorm. I said 80 million people are under winter weather alerts right now. Yeah, I'm stuck in Charlotte right now. My flight's got canceled coming back to New York City. Today should be fine, though, right? Yeah, I think it'll be fine, yeah. Go to Bojangles or go to Mertz.

All right, now, a 12-year-old rapper is in court on felony charges, and that's because he was selling CDs in the mall. He was in Georgia visiting family. He was in the food court of a local Cumberland shopping center. That looks very suspicious. That's when an off-duty deputy approached him and grabbed him by his arm, accused him of loitering, and also said that he had been in trouble on two previous occasions for selling CDs in the mall.

His lawyer says that's absolutely not true. I just want everybody to know that sells CDs in 2019. You look suspicious. Now, Corey posted a note on his Instagram page. He said, seriously, like I really wake up every day asking myself, why would this police officer tell these ludicrous, ridiculous stories? By the way, he spelled ludicrous the same way you would spell the rapper Ludacris' name. He said, on me that now have me going to court facing a felony at 12 years old

as if I'm really a robber, killer, murderer, or some kid that cussed out and fight police officers or something. Like, I'm just so, for real, I just don't understand why a man would do this and have me going through all this. Not worth it at all. Corey, you're 12 years old. You're not playing this right. You're supposed to be saying, what the hell is a CD?

Okay? You're supposed to be acting clueless to what a CD is. All right? You're 12. Okay? You didn't grow up on CD players. He should have had a little junk drive. But he's an entrepreneur.

He's trying to sell some CDs to make some money. What CDs? This kid is 12. Some people still have CDs. You know, it might have been the OJs, the temptations on the CD. You don't know what was on there. The boy is 12. He don't even know who the OJs are.

Boy, you saw him at your age this morning. Between that stupid-ass slang you used earlier, and now talking about some OJs and Temptations. They don't even know what was on the CD. The kid is 12. So? He's an aspiring rapper. So, yes, that's sad, though, because that kind of sets up a...

Like, you don't want kids to feel like criminals for trying to do something entrepreneurial. Yes. First of all, I would have been locked up, because I used to sell CDs when I was a kid. Sleuth my man DJ Chuck T. But you were bootlegging CDs. You were bootlegging people's albums.

That's something different. You a snitch. You just a whole snitch. Yeah, that's a good question. What CDs were you selling? You ain't tell on Clue. Were you an artist? You ain't tell on Clue.

Tell on DJ Clue. Tell on you, Mr. Mixtape Kings. Okay? How about y'all tell on yourselves? All right, a lot. Y'all the ones who snitched on drama and got drama and canon locked up. A lot of snitching going on you, Mr. Mixtape Kings. Okay? How about y'all tell on yourselves? All right, a lot of... Y'all the ones who snitched on drama and got drama and canon locked up. A lot of snitching going on in this room this morning.

What are you talking about? I'm just going to back out of this. And I'll end this with a good story. This happened at Morehouse College in Atlanta. Wayne Hayer, he did not want to miss his algebra class, and he couldn't find childcare. He has a five-month-old daughter. They were getting ready for the midterm,

so he brought his daughter to class. And guess what? His professor, Nathan Alexander, held the daughter, held Asada, and taught the rest of the class while he had the baby strapped to his chest, just so that Wayne could study and get his study on. So that's a beautiful thing. Alright, well, I'm Angela Yee,

and that's your Front Page News. Anything else y'all want to tell about? Body? Anything? No, no, no, no. Alright, when we come back, Bernie That's your front page news. All right. Anything else y'all want to tell about? The body? We good. Anything? All right. No, no, no, no. All right. When we come back, Bernie Sanders will be joining us. Senator Bernie Sanders, 2020 presidential candidate.

Very important to note that this is not Bernie Sanders' first time on The Breakfast Club. For whatever reason, people think that these candidates just started coming here this year. No, they were coming here in 2016 as well. That's right. So we'll kick it with Bernie when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. as well. That's right. So we'll kick it with Bernie. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

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. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty

Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. Bernie Sanders. Senator Bernie Sanders. Yes, sir. Bernie Sanders. Senator Bernie Sanders.

Senator Bernie Sanders. Good morning. Good morning. How are you, sir? I'm great. How are you guys doing? So, Bernie, 44 out of 45 presidents in this country have been white men. Do you think we need another one?

I think you need this one. Look, we are living in an unprecedented time. We have the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country. Somebody who is a pathological liar, a fraud, a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe. Now you're just getting warmed up here, man. Now this is a bad news guy. And the most important thing that has got to happen is that this dangerous president is defeated. I'm going to do everything I can to defeat him.

I look forward to winning the Democratic nomination. And if I don't, I will support anybody else who's out there to defeat him. But this guy cannot win another term. Why run again? I'll tell you why. I'll tell you why. We ran in 2016. As you guys know, we were here.

And I'm proud of the campaign that we ran. If you think back, and I want you just to think back a few years ago, think about the issues that we ran on. We said that we cannot continue to have a minimum wage in this country of $7.25 an hour starvation wage, that we're going to fight for a $15 an hour minimum wage. And you know what I was told back then, four years ago? Think about it.

What was I told? Yes, it was insane. It was insane. It was crazy. Can't happen. Well, since then, five states have already passed that. I was told that the United States has got to join every other major country on Earth and guarantee health care to all people as a right through a Medicare for All single

payer program. Once again, Bernie, you're crazy. Can't be done. Today, a strong majority of the American people understand that it is insane that we have 30 million people who have no health insurance, more who are underinsured,

and that we pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs. Okay, we're making progress on that. I was told that it was crazy to talk about making public colleges and universities tuition-free so that every kid in this country has the right to go to college regardless of his or her income. Well, it ain't such a crazy idea now.

Cities, states are beginning to move in that direction. So to answer your question, we made progress in 2016 in taking on all of the big money interest in this country, taking on Wall Street and the insurance companies and the drug companies. We made progress. Obviously, we have a long, long way to go. And I want to complete the political revolution that we began. What will you do differently, though, this time?

I have been criticized. My 2016 campaign, remember that campaign? We started like with four people. My wife, Jane, is here. She was one of them. Four people around our kitchen table. And then the campaign grew and we took on the whole establishment.

We ended up winning 22 states and 13 million votes. This time we're starting from a very different position. We were criticized for being too male. That was a right, correct criticism. Too white. That was a correct criticism.

That is going to change. We'll have a much more diverse campaign. We've already announced our co-chairs. I think many of you know Nina Turner. Nina Turner. I love Nina Turner. You should love Nina Turner. Nina founded, Nina worked with me in 2016.

We started an organization after the campaign. It's called Our Revolution. And the function of Our Revolution is to get people all over this country to stand up, to fight back, to run for office. Nina has, until just a few days ago, been the leader of Our Revolution. They have 600 chapters all over the country. And they are getting young people to get involved in the political process. What about your press secretary? They said he's an illegal immigrant.

She? She, I'm sorry. he's an illegal immigrant. She? She. I'm sorry. She's an illegal immigrant. She's protected under DACA right now. Yeah, we'll have DACA people and we'll announce some other people pretty soon. It's going to be a diverse

campaign staff and this is a promise. This is maybe my first campaign promise. You ready? All right. You know, when you look at Trump's cabinet, it looks kind of white and kind of old, right? Kind of. Absolutely.

Kind of. It's like a cabinet of mayonnaise. Okay. Our cabinet will look like America in terms of women and men and racial diversity. That's the promise. Now, you know, Senator Sanders, a lot of people say you didn't really lose the Democratic nomination. It got stolen from you. So if the fight is fixed and they don't want you as the nominee, you think it could happen again in 2020?

I'll tell you, look, last time in 2016, we took on the establishment. You know, I had a handful of members of the House. I had no governors, no big city mayors, nothing. And we won 22 states. This is where what I understand and the essence of what this campaign is about is not only winning the nomination. Let's say you win the nomination. Do you think you're going to have health care for all? What do you think the insurance companies are going to do?

What do you think the drug companies are going to do? You know how much money they have? They have unlimited sums of money because they make billions and billions of dollars in profit while people can't afford their medicine, while people can't afford to go to the doctor. You got Wall Street a few blocks away from here, right? You got six banks that own 54 that have assets equivalent to 54% of the GDP of the United States of America. Six banks. All right? When we tell the wealthy and the powerful they're going to have to start paying their fair share of taxes,

you may have read recently, companies like Amazon made $11 billion in profit. You know how much they paid in taxes? Zero. You got it, man. Actually, they got a rebate. Yeah, they got money back. Okay.

That's crazy. The only way you take them on is with a mass movement, grassroots movement. This is what the civil rights movement was about. It's what the labor movement was about. The women's movement was about. The gay movement was about. And I'm very proud. We've been in this campaign now for six or seven days. We got one million people

signed up in every state in this country who are prepared to stand up and fight back. Now you mention all those things, but you know the question is always how. It seems like politicians, they say what everybody wants to hear. Free tuition, lower taxes, legalizing marijuana. But what's the plan? How are we going to have free tuition? I don't say lower taxes. Oh, okay. Well, how are we going to have free tuition? How are we going to implement those plans? Excellent question. Fair enough. Right now, in terms of health care, we are spending almost twice as much per capita as any other major country on Earth.

And when you come and you visit me in Burlington, Vermont, if you go 50 miles north of where I live, you're in Quebec, Canada. Okay? They guarantee in Canada health care. Do you know how much it costs? You got, God forbid, somebody comes down with cancer, right? You go through all the surgery, all the chemotherapy. Do you know how much you pay in Canada for all of that, somebody comes down with cancer, right? You go through all the surgery, all the chemotherapy. Do you know how much you pay in Canada for all of that? Free.

Yeah, that's right. Well, it's not free. Somebody, it's paid for the same way we pay for public education. Correct. You don't come out with a nickel bill. I think that's the right thing to be. I agree. So you asked me how we pay for it.

Right now, we are paying twice as much per capita for health care as they do in Canada because they don't have a system which enables the drug companies and the insurance companies to make huge profits. Their system is simpler. There is not all kinds of waste and bureaucracy. A lot of overcharging here. A lot of it. Huge amount. So to answer your question in terms of health care, we're already paying for it.

We're paying twice as much as the Canadians. So what the criticism of Bernie Sanders is, he's going to raise your taxes. Well, I may. That's right. But you know what I'm doing? I'm doing away with all of your private health insurance premiums. I don't know how you guys work or where you get your health care from. Somebody's paying for it.

Somebody's paying Blue Cross or UnitedHealth. That's gone. You're paying it for yourself. If you're an average family of four in this country, you're paying $28,000 a year. And that cost is going to go up. So we can't afford the present system. That's why we're going to move to Medicare. That's how we're going to pay for it. You ask about public colleges and universities.

Roughly speaking, it's about $900 billion over a 10-year period. That's a lot of money. Not quite as much as Trump gave in tax breaks to the top 1% in large private corporations. All right. So we're going to tax. We have a speculation tax on Wall Street that would, in fact, pay for that. So to answer your question, right now, we have more wealth and income inequality than any major country. I know we don't talk about this very much as a media. Am I right? Right. You've got three people owning more wealth than

the bottom half of America. 46% of all new income goes to the top 1%. Okay? That's the fact. So, yes, you guys said maybe about lower. I'm not going to promise I'm going to lower Wall Street's taxes. Quite the contrary. We are going to ask the billionaires and the wealthiest people in this country and the largest corporations

to start paying their fair share of taxes. All right, we got more with Bernie Sanders 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 God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We have a special guest in the building. He's running for president for 2020, Bernie Sanders. Yee. What about prison reform? Because we've seen the effects of mass incarceration and how that's affected us to this day and still continues to affect us. What do you think about prison reform

and what are we going to do about that? We're going to do a lot about that. Give me a minute on this one because this is a huge issue. Right now we have to ask ourselves how it happens that as a nation we have more people in jail than any other major country on earth. We've got 2 million people in jail. We spend $80 billion a year locking up fellow Americans. All right. So first thought, first thing, and we are ready as a result of a lot of good work by

Black Lives Matter, ACLU, and others. There are now prosecutors and district attorneys who are being elected to office who are saying, my job is not to put more people in jail, it's to reduce the prison population. All right? We're making some progress in that. We have got to invest in children and our kids. We've got to invest in education rather than in more jails and incarceration. Los Angeles, they want to spend billions of dollars on more jails. Wrong. Let's make sure that our kids have jobs and education.

Second of all, we have to end private prisons in America. People should not be making money by locking up fellow Americans. I'm proud that during my campaign in 2016, we talked about the insanity of having, at federal level, marijuana at the same level treated the same way as heroin. Okay? So we talked about decriminalizing marijuana, legalizing marijuana, and that's beginning to happen around this country. So the goal is to make sure that also when people leave jail,

they have jobs, they have decent housing, so they don't come back to jail. But criminal justice reform is a huge issue for me. Do you feel like you would be righting or wrong because you did sign the 94 crime bill? I signed it. I voted for it. You voted for it. We voted for the 94 crime bill, which started a lot of this mass incarceration.

I voted for that because for a couple of reasons. I mean, you know, one of the things, it's a fair question, but as you know, a lot of bills have a lot of stuff in it. And if I hadn't voted for that, you would be saying to me, how come you voted against the Violence Against Women Act? How come you voted against the effort to deal with some gun safety legislation, which was included in that? That was a ban, as I

recall, on banning assault weapons, something that I believed in. So it was, but if you also noticed, at exactly that period, I talked about the dangers of mass incarceration. So it was one of those, and it happens, it may happen tomorrow. You've got a bill which has some bad stuff in it, has some good stuff, you make your choice. So you feel like you'd be right and wrong? Absolutely. This happen tomorrow. You've got a bill which has some bad stuff in it, has some good stuff. You make your choice.

So you feel like you'd be right and wrong? Absolutely. Look, this is an issue we've got to deal with. Too many lives are being destroyed. Hundreds of thousands of people get criminal records. You know why? Because they have smoked marijuana. They got caught with marijuana.

That's insane. And as you know, this is a racial issue in the sense that I think blacks and whites smoke, do marijuana about equal time. Blacks get arrested a hell of a lot more. And what we also want to do, and some communities are beginning to do this, is expunge the records of people who are arrested for marijuana. I believe in that very strongly. This is a question that we've been asking of all Democrats.

Does Bernie Sanders have an agenda for black people? Absolutely. We start off, as I mentioned, with massive disparity in the general population. Very few have a lot. Most people have nothing. Then you've got another form of disparity, which is a wealth disparity. All right. So right now you have the white community, average white family owning 10 times more wealth than the average black family. You have a health disparity, infant mortality rates in the black community, I think two and a half times what they are in the white community. You've got an education disparity.

We talked about a criminal justice disparity where African-Americans are much more likely to be arrested and put in jail. Those are disparities that have got to be addressed. There is a friend of mine, Jim Clyburn of South Carolina. Representative Clyburn came up with an idea, which I think we should build on. He called it 10-20-30, which says that you focus federal resources on those communities most in distress. And at the same time, you've got to deal with institutional racism. I remember redlining, for example. If you're a small business person, I talked to a guy in Milwaukee last year, and he had what seems to be a moderately successful business.

He said, Bernie, I'm going, black guy, I'm going to the banks. I can't get a loan. So we've got to deal with racism and discrimination within the financial services committee, within the financial services industry. You've got payday lenders. My God. Unbelievable. You know what the interest rate for the—and then rip it off on the most vulnerable and poorest people. So to answer your question, we do have an agenda.

And it's an agenda that we will fight vigorously for. That's what I want. I would like to see federal—what you said about the banks. I would like to see federal government put more support into the black banks. Absolutely. I feel like that could help black entrepreneurs. And not only black banks. And black homeowners as well.

And black homeowners, but black business in this sense. Correct. In this sense. Unemployment now is quote unquote relatively low. But you go to African American communities and the youth unemployment rate is still unbelievably high. And you tell me, please tell me, what happens if you're a kid who drops out of high school who has no money?

You're probably going to turn into a life of crime. You got it. What a waste. What a waste. You know, we got to invest in those things where we're invested in housing. A lot of people in the African-American community not making a lot of money spending 50 percent of their income in housing, child care. And what about HBCUs? Absolutely. Very big for our community. It is. It is. And support is very big. It is very big. I don't know the numbers, but as you know, a significant number of African-American teachers, academics, professionals come out of the HBCU system, and they do a great job, and they're underfunded.

So when I talk about making most of the, as I recall, most of the HBCUs are a public institution, some are not, but we are going to pay a lot of attention to them. Now, why does it seem like this week you've been kind of dodging the reparations question? Senator Harris and Senator Warren have both kind of spoken out and said that they agree with some form of reparations. Well, the question is,

I'm not dodging the question, the question is what do we mean by reparations? I mean, it seems to me a lot of people mean a lot of different things. To my mind, it means that we have to deal with the fact that there is enormous disparity between

the black community and the white community and that issue has got to be addressed and I've indicated to you some of the ways that I think it should be addressed. Well I think they mean some type of economic empowerment to the African descendants of slaves. But what does that mean economic empowerment? I just talked about the fact that I would do my best

to change the banking system to make sure that we end racism, that we pay attention to distressed communities, that people get the loans they need to make the investments they need. What about free cash payouts? No. How much do you want to sell them? Do you agree with that?

Why don't you agree with that? Well, first of all, you mean just a check to every African American? Yes. Well, and it's a check to every Native American who were nearly wiped out when the settlers first came here. I think the way we go forward is to build America together. There are distressed communities, white communities. There are distressed Latino communities.

Right now, what you have is a government owned and controlled by big money and trust. The worries about Wall Street and the drug companies, we're going to change that. And we're going to pay attention to the needs of working families and low-income families in this country in a way that you have never seen. But this government has also systemically oppressed us in a way that they haven't oppressed other communities, through slavery, through segregation, now mass incarceration. I think it should be something done specifically for African Americans.

Well, and all of those issues, all right? We are going to deal with mass incarceration, and we're going to invest, I think, at the end of the day, if we end the discrimination that exists in financial services, in health care, in education, if we guarantee health care to all people, if we, and we're working on a particular program, make sure that every person in this country has a job because there's enough work to be done dealing with climate change dealing with our crumbling infrastructure i would suggest to you that not only the african-american community

but every community will be a whole lot better off than they are today all right we got more with bernie sanders when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building. He's running for president for 2020, Bernie Sanders. Yee. What about legalizing marijuana? And how can we ensure that African Americans get in on,

because it seems like we're getting kind of blocked out in many ways. That's a very good question. So two answers. I believe in the legalization of marijuana. Right now you have a federal controlled substance act in Washington that says you're caught with heroin, he's caught with marijuana. It's both the same level. That's insane. Okay. So I believe in the legalization of marijuana, which by the way will be a major step forward in the struggle for a fairer, less racist criminal justice system. Number two, your point. There are large corporations, your point, that are going to be making a whole lot of money.

Suddenly, 10 years ago, everyone was demonizing marijuana. Now these guys are going to make a zillion dollars off it. And you're right. Small business people in the African-American community deserve to be part of that process. Have you ever smoked? A few times. Okay.

Didn't do a whole lot for me. My recollection is I nearly coughed my brains out, so it's not my cup of tea. So you think we should be guaranteed to get a certain percentage of these opportunities? I don't know what a guarantee looks like, but like in many other areas, your point is well taken. That the corporations are moving in. They're moving in on hemp.

Okay? This is a problem that we have above and beyond marijuana in that area after area in this country, you have a small number of corporations who control the action. The issue of marijuana is particularly sensitive. You've got so many African-Americans who have been arrested.

If my memory is correct, well, I don't know what it is, but it's been disproportionately African-American and Latino. You have to start remembering things, Senator Sanders, because they're always on you about being too old. You can't be acting like you're forgetting things all the time. Well, there's too much to remember.

What do you think about Howard Schultz running? And do you think that's going to affect the Democrats? Some people think it might be very divisive. I don't know that we need another billionaire to be running for president. Anyone wants to run, they can run. I think his views are certainly very different than mine. Your question is, will he split the vote and help elect Trump? Don't know.

But, you know, what can I say? I was going to ask about that as well. You know, when you ran last time, a lot of the people that followed you and rode for you, rode with you to the end. They would rather not vote than to vote for Hillary. Yeah, they weren't going from Bernie to Hillary. They weren't going from Bernie to Hillary. And that's part of the reason why I think that

Donald Trump was in. How do we make sure that regardless of what happens that the Democratic Party is united? Good question. So let me say what I think I said a few minutes ago. I'm going to do everything I can to be the Democratic nominee. I think I am the strongest candidate to defeat Trump. I think I can win in states that Secretary not the nominee, I will do everything I can, as I did when Secretary Clinton was the candidate. I knocked my brains out. I resent a little bit some of the criticism that comes with me. You know, I ran all over this country. I think we did 35 rallies in, I don't know, 13, 14 states to get her elected. Now your point is, well,

some Bernie supporters did not vote for Hillary. True. But that always happens. But I did my best to say, we got to do everything we can not to elect this guy, Donald Trump. And, you know, getting back to Trump for a moment. You know, I'm thinking back that even before he was president and he was the leader of the anti-birther movement. You remember? I mean, just think about this. Think about trying to, not only is that racist, what trying to do is delegitimize. That's a big deal to say, oh, Barack Obama is not a real president. Constitutionally, he wasn't born in America. Can you imagine that? And now he's turning his divisiveness against the Latino community, against immigrants.

And, you know, the theme of this campaign is exactly the opposite of what Trump has tried to do. He has tried to divide us up by the color of our skin, where we were born, our religion. Our job is to bring our people together around an agenda that works for all of us. What about all these women that come forward

and have these allegations against Trump having harassed them, you know, pulled them in, kissed them, and somehow it just gets brushed over. And I'm not understanding why people don't take that seriously. Well, you know why? You know, they said you had, there was a young lady that asked the other day about you having harassment claims in your campaign as well, and you said that you were upset about that.

So it's kind of the same thing. Well, no, it's not about me. It's about my campaign, which had 1,200 employees. And I am. I am. I am upset. We put together our campaign quite quickly, and there were problems in it. Don't deny it, and I'm embarrassed by that. That ain't going to happen again. We have now instituted, I think, the strongest protocol to protect women or anybody against sexual harassment. But to answer your question, the problem with dealing with Trump is that every day there

is another outrage. You know, it's hard to keep track of it. And the media says, my God, look at what we learned yesterday and then today. So I think that's kind of part of the problem. I want to give you a chance to clear this up because this is a headline. The headline says you hired an illegal immigrant. Where was this headline? It was on Washington.

I think it was Washington Examiner. I saw it. It was his deputy national press secretary, but she's an undocumented, I guess she's an illegal immigrant, but she's protected by DACA. So right now she's here protected by that, but I guess.

You look like it's the first time you're hearing about this. Well, look, stick with me. Every day, every minute, there's going to be something else coming. I honestly don't know anything about it. But we have people, certainly, I have somebody in my office who I think is in the DACA program. These are people who are raised in this country. They spent their entire life in this country.

And we have got to provide them with legal status. I think she came from Argentina, I believe, when she was like seven. And now she's protected because of DACA. She's a dreamer. Right. So, you know, is that supposed to be a criticism of me? You know, well, I don't take it as a criticism. I support the DACA young people.

And, in fact, we've got to fight as hard as we can to get legal status for them. What's the most painful part of campaigning? Because I feel like they dig up everything. Are you taking these questions? Well, above and beyond you guys. Look, I'll tell you, you just did it right now. Not that you did it.

Every day, they're attacking my wife. You like to run for office and find the lying about your wife? Or your kids? Or every day there's somebody else? Look, they can't debate on the issues. They can't defend the fact that we have massive income and wealth inequality

or we have racism or sexism. So what are they going to do? They're going to try to rip you apart. And is that painful? Yeah, it's painful. And sometimes it's your own colleagues, too, because they're also running for office. And it's very crowded right now. People who are throwing their hat in the ring. And that means people that you have worked with and consider to be friends. They might have to say negative things about you? Well, listen, I would hope that certainly on the Democratic side, because I know, well, I don't know all of them, but I know certainly the Senators. Somebody called Elizabeth

Warren has been a personal friend of mine for 20 years. Cory Booker's office is literally down the hallway from mine in the Dirksen office building. So, you know, you know these guys for a long period of time. And I would hope that we will focus on the issues and not get into that kind of ugly

personal attacks. Now what about when Donald Trump goes at you and, you know, he's a nasty individual. Calls you crazy, Bernie. You know, are you ready to go? You remind him of Doc Brown off Back to the Future. Did he say that? Or did you make that up? Are you writing this speech? I'm sorry. Don't give him that idea, man.

I didn't make that up. Are you ready to go? Are you going to get back nasty at him? Because he needs a pop on the head. Let's see. We began the program by saying that he is a pathological liar, a fraud, an authoritarian, a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, a xenophobe, and a religious bigot. We need some more.

He's a racist, a con man, and a cheat. And those are all the compliments. Those are the compliments. Yeah, then we got some bad things to say about him. But, you know, let me get back to this serious thought about Trump. You know, here's a guy who tried to throw 32 million people off of health care. Here's a guy whose budget called for massive cuts in Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security. But you know what the ugliest thing about this guy is about?

This is the ugliest thing. And this is really unprecedented in my lifetime. His toupee. His tan skin, I don't know. His orange skin. Above and beyond the orange. Okay. You know, what most presidents understand, we are one country, right?

Bring people together. You've got to have disagreements on health care, the economy, the environment, climate change, fine. But you don't go out of your way trying to split this country up. That's disgusting. And that is what he is doing. Well, Bernie, you've got to go, guys. This is my final question because I want him to clear this up because this is a headline. Have you ever gotten a massage at the Orchards of Asia Day Spa in Florida?

That is not a headline. The answer ever gotten a massage at the Orchards of Asia Day Spa in Florida? That is not a headline. The answer is no. Okay. All right, you clear on that one? I'm just clear. They said they have some videos. You jumped out with Robert Kraft and a blue Bentley.

I don't know how true that is. No? No. Unequivocally, no. His wife said no. His wife said no. And since you asked that, what about legalizing?

Because we saw Kamala Harris talking about that. But sex workers. That's a good question, and I don't have an answer for it. I see two sides to it. Well, it's Bernie Sanders. We appreciate you for stopping by. Yes, sir. I hope we'll see you again.

And give them your campaign website so they can donate. You already raised $6 million in 24 hours. Actually, $10 million in a week. But who's counting? Who's counting? Who's counting? But it's BernieSandis.com. But guys, thank you very much for having me. Thank you, sir.

All right, it's Bernie Sanders. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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 Jordan Woods.

It's time. She's sp to the rumors. Let's talk Jordan Woods. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Hello, Angela Yee. We have a show to do. You over there on your goddamn Instagram. I didn't hear you guys. You should have just seen Yee just over there posting on IG.

It was all quiet. Just sitting there staring at the phone. The problem is that Envy's in Charlotte and no one told me we were going up. And it's just sitting in the room all quiet. Dromo said we were going up. We've only been doing the same thing every day for the past. I was just sitting here waiting. Waiting for what?

Dromo said we going up. I didn't hear him say a word. Okay. Well, since we're here, let's talk about Jordan Woods on Red Table Talk. I know you guys were paying attention to that. Now, she was on Red Table Talk because she does have a relationship with Will and Jada Pickett-Smith. Now, her relationship is this. Will Smith has known her her whole life.

He said her father, John Woods, was a sound engineer on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for its entire run. They became friends, and their sons are very close. They had play dates. And Jaden and Jordan ended up becoming day ones. They've been friends since they were infants. So she's like family to them, just so you know. And she will always have the support of Will and Jada Pickett-Smith, plus family.

All right, so that's just giving you some backstory on that. Well, Jordan Woods went on the show, and she talked about what happened with Tristan Thompson, because the rumor is that she had Tristan Thompson cheated on Chloe with Jordan, thus breaking up their relationship. The group of girls that I'm with are like, you know, we're going to go to a house. They're saying it's Tristan's house. I'm like, cool. Feels like a safe environment. You know, we're all dancing and we're all drinking and we're all enjoying the time and I'm not thinking I shouldn't be here. And that's my first step where I went wrong. And never once was I giving him a lap dance, making out with him. We're all together. We're in a group. Never once did we leave the public area. She did say that she sat next to him and put her legs over him while sitting on a chair, but she said it was just innocent fun.

She said her legs were on him. That ain't no innocent fun. Yeah, so. You tell him, girl. You tell him, sis. Tell him, sis. Go. Do you think it's innocent fun?

I ain't even here. What the hell happened? All right. Well, she goes on to talk about a little kiss that happened. I finally look outside and I'm like, look, the sun's coming up. I need to take myself home. Right. And he's like, are you sure? You know, it's fine.

You can be safe here. And I'm like, you know what? I need to go. My car's outside. I had to drive outside. It's been waiting. I never was belligerently drunk to where I can't remember what happened. But on the way out, he did kiss me. It was like a kiss on the lips, but no tongue kiss. And I don't think that he's wrong either because I allowed myself to be in that position.

Yeah, he's definitely wrong. She was, that was weird. And she did admit she should never have been in that house at all. But did they sleep together? I know I'm not the reason that tristan and chloe are not together now this situation may have made it harder for her to want to be with him did you sleep with tristan never got it never a thought never a consideration never happened and never will i and that's why i'm willing to be put up to the test

right attach me to a lie detector whatever it is all right well chloe had originally tweeted out why are you lying jordan woods if you're going to try and save yourself by going public instead of calling me privately to apologize first at least be honest about your story by the way you are the reason my family broke up when the new season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians coming out, it gotta be coming out soon, right? For them to be pulling all these stunts.

I mean, God damn it. But all this did, I will say this, on social media, people were going in on Khloe. They were saying that she was bullying Jordan. Then they brought up

a lot of things that Khloe Kardashian herself had done, such as they brought up an old interview with Trey Songz, and Trey Songz had dated Lauren London.

Lauren London and Khloe used to be friends. I don't know if they still are, but then Khloe was spotted out with Trey Songz and they brought up a lot of things that had happened in the past with French Montana when French Montana was with Trina

and she was friends with them. They're also going to be watching season 27 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians when it comes out. Do Jada and Jordan get paid for all this free promo they're giving this new season? I don't know, but Red Table Talk's doing very well as well. So that was actually a great

episode for her too. So Khloe did, after this interview came out and she got a lot of backlash, tweet out, Tristan is equally to blame, but Tristan is the father of my child regardless of what he does to me. I won't do that to my daughter. He has been addressing the situation privately. And then she goes on to say it's been an awful week

and that it's been very painful. And she said, honestly, Tristan cheating on me and humiliating me wasn't such a shock as the first time. Yeah, you can never blame the other woman if your man cheats on you. You know what I'm saying? Like, all the energy got to go to your man. But in this situation, it's just a little bit different.

It's different because Jordan was their friend. But in this situation, it's just a little bit different. She can blame Bo for this one. Yeah, it's different because Jordan Woods was their friend. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like family, really. Yeah, that's what people are missing in this situation. I usually would say don't blame the other woman, but in this situation, Jordan Woods was their friend, so she does get some of the blame. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. And shout out to Coca-Cola.

They just came out with a brand new flavor. Yeah, you heard that right. They've now got orange vanilla Coke Coke and Orange Vanilla Coke Zero Sugar. Head to your closest retailer and try Orange Vanilla Coke and Orange Vanilla Coke Zero Sugar today. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.

Shout out to Mike. Yes, sir. Who you giving that donkey to? You know, man, donkey of the day four after the hour is going to a Florida man. I'm sorry, Florida. I promise you, I don't look for stories, you know, from Florida to give donkey of the day to, but this one is

just very important because it's a life lesson that we all can learn, and that learn is knowing your worth. Okay. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. All right, donkey of the day is next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart?

Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe, my country, my forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?

No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket 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's okay like grace have grace with yourself 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 make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home

in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for talking a flamingo. The Breakfast Club, bitchy. Donkey of the Day with Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. It ain't no lack to it, okay? Donkey of the Day for Monday, March 4th goes to a Florida man named Shane

Anthony Malay. Okay, God bless Florida. You know, I hate coming on this radio and reminding y'all every other day that the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, but it's true. And every day I'm reminded of that fact, and today is no different. Now, life is all about knowing your worth, okay? This is a very teachable moment that I'm about to break down for y'all.

Life is all about knowing your worth, knowing your value, all right? Very hard concept for a lot of us to grab. Malcolm X once said, we cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves. We have to know our worth. But that has nothing to do with what I'm about to discuss with you all because even if you don't

know your worth, you should know the value of other things. Even if I don't know my worth, I know that a Rolex is worth a lot. I know that a Phantom is worth a lot. I know the value of other things and Shane does too. Or maybe he doesn't, because Shane decided to rob an office in North Palm Beach. What he stole from the office was a bunch of commemorative presidential coins.

Now, I know what you're thinking. So? No, it's not a so. See, these coins were worth $33,000. All right, Shane had to know they had some value because they were worth stealing, right? If something's worth stealing, taking a penitentiary chance for, then it must have a lot of value, correct? Correct. If the coins are worth $33,000, then Shane just scored a $33,000 lick, right?

Mm-hmm. Wrong. Let's go to WFUR-TV, CBS 4 in Miami for the report, please. A Florida man allegedly stole rare coins and then ran them through a coin machine. MAN ALLEGEDLY STOLE RARE COINS AND THEN RAN HIM THROUGH A COIN MACHINE. 20-YEAR-OLD SHANE ANTHONY MAYLEE OF RIVERA BEACH TOLD INVESTIGATORS HE STOLE THE COMMEMORATIVE PRESIDENTIAL DOLLAR COINS. THE COINS WERE WORTH $33,000. A PALM BEACH COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE ARREST

REPORT SAYS HE SOLD SOME COINS FOR A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS AND HE RAN MANY THROUGH CHANGE MACHINES THAT ONLY PRODUCED THEIR FACE VALUE. MAYLEE WAS CHARGED WITH GRAND THEFT ALONG WITH UNRELATED DRUG CHARGES. FIRST OF ALL, PUT THAT MAN'S PICTURE BACK ON THAT SCREEN. He ran many through change machines that only produced their face value. Maley was charged with grand theft along with unrelated drug charges. First of all, put that man's picture back on that screen. Did they just say he was 20 years old?

I must have heard wrong. He is not 20 years old. Play that again. That's impossible. I just got thrown off. Play that again. A Florida man allegedly stole rare coins and then ran him through a coin machine. 20-year-old Shane Anthony Maley.

He has no way he's 20. What kind of meth are y'all selling in goddamn Florida? That's not, he's not 20. There ain't no way in hell that man 20 years old. He over here lying about his age. He look that bad? What? No, he definitely don't look 20.

Jesus Christ. No offense to him, but. Lord have mercy. All offense, gosh. Okay, $33,000 in coins, valued at $1,000 each. Now, in Shane's defense, he did sell some of the coins to a pawn shop for $4,000. This is so confusing to me because Shane stole these coins, so he had to know they were worth something.

Your first stop was a pawn shop. You got $4,000 for them. Yet another sign that these coins are worth more than a pretty penny. At that point, you should have stopped and done a little research to figure out how much value exactly do these coins have. But no! You decided to go to grocery stores all over Florida and exchange the

majority of your purse through CoinStar change machines. Now he's charged with grand theft and unrelated drug charges. I don't know what degree of grand theft he's charged with, but I'm assuming his first degree because, you know, they said along with the $33,000 in coins, according to the AGC, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, he stole over $300,000 and other items, which is punishable by up to 30 years

in prison with a maximum fine of $10,000 if the property stolen is valued at $100,000 or more. Another thing about this, you know, knowing your worth thing, knowing your value, knowing your value of things, okay? Knowing your value for yourself before you decide to commit a crime, all right? Always ask yourself, what is this going to cost me

before you commit a crime? I'm not talking about money to fight the case. I'm talking about time, okay? A guy like Shane can't afford a lawyer. How could a guy who's stealing coins and running them through a cash machine afford a lawyer? Therefore, he's getting a public defender from Florida. So ladies

and gentlemen, he's going to prison. So how much is that going to cost him? See, Shane didn't know his value. So when you don't know your value, you take dumbass chances like the one he took, and it cost him. See, if he knew his real value, it doesn't matter how much those coins were worth. He would have never put himself

in this situation to lose the most valuable thing we all possess, which is our time. He's about to give all that time to the state of Florida in the form of free labor in prison. The moral of the story is, kids, know the value of knowing your value. Please give Shane Anthony Millay the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. He is only 20 years old, my goodness.

Yeah, he needs that time. He needs time to reset that face. You know what I'm saying? Life has been hard for him. You know what I mean? Prison will stop his aging process. You know what I'm saying? He go to jail for like 10 to 15.

He'll come out looking 60. You know what I'm saying? He look about 50 now at 20. You know what I'm saying? Let's stop the aging process a little. Prison stops your aging process. You know what I mean? He needs this time. All right. All right. Well, let's stop the aging process a little. Prison stops your aging process. You know what I mean? He needs his time.

Alright. Alright. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Did you watch Leaving Neverland last night? The Michael Jackson docuseries. I sure didn't. Now, if you didn't see it, can we play a clip right

fast? We have time to play a clip. We'll do it when we come back. When we come back. We'll do it when we come back. If you've seen Leaving Neverland, call us up right now. 800-585-1051. Let's watch it. I've seen it last night. I'm stuck here in Charlotte because of the snow in New York City, so I was stuck. I watched it last night at the hotel. Boy, let's

talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking Leaving Neverland. Now, last night it was the part one of the docuseries. It's a two-part series where they talk about some of the people that accused Michael Jackson of sexual assault. Two people.

Yes, James Safechuck and Wade Robson. So we're asking, what do you think? What are your thoughts? 800-585-1051. Before we play the audio, what do you think? Charlemagne didn't see it. I have to see part two to see. You know, the whole thing is complicated to me because you take into account that, A,

they only showed their families and their point of view. So to me, that's not well-rounded. I would like to see what the family has to say about these allegations. I would like for them to have delved into, which they might in part to, the financial issues they've had since then. I would have liked to see like maybe a therapist on there to talk about, you know, why things might have unfolded the way that they did. I would have liked them to address certain things that they said that they are now contradicting. So I didn't think so far that it was well-rounded, but it was very disturbing to watch.

See, my only problem with it is this. It's very disturbing. It is horrible. But we don't know who's telling the truth and who's not because Michael Jackson was found not guilty twice, and that's with all the evidence that they had. So it gets to the point where it's, I really don't know. Yes, there was some weird things going on.

Do I believe that Michael Jackson masturbated watching these kids naked? I don't know. I honestly don't know. I feel like what they did was put the story out there that these kids, well, these now adults are saying, and then you kind of have to make a decision on your own and it didn't feel like I was informed enough from both sides.

And let's be clear, I didn't watch it because I missed it. I watched it because I didn't want to watch it. It's unethical. I don't respect the energy of it. Those guys were under oath and defended Michael Jackson against another kid. And then when things don't go their way in the future, they recant their story, file a civil suit. Civil suit got dismissed, and now you're out here doing Leaving Neverland specials. Leaving Neverland specials or whatever it's called.

This is an obvious money play. An obvious play for viewership. And I don't want no parts of it. Not to mention the man is dead. And I'm going to tell you something else. The director said the two victims didn't get paid so it can't be for money. Well, somebody got paid. They didn't just put this special

on television for free. Okay? Somebody got paid. They didn't just put this special on television for free, okay? Somebody got paid for doing this. Right, and people were trying to say that the accusers are the ones, but, you know, he's saying he didn't pay them. But this is the thing, though. This is the thing, though. I've never been sexually assaulted, though, so I don't know how those feelings come back.

I have. And even you, you wrote about it in your book, and this is something that you thought was okay for years, and then you realized that it wasn't. You don't realize how it affects you. And a lot of people that have been through this traumatic experience, you don't know how it's going to affect you. Yo, why are we dismissing the fact that this kid, Wade Robinson,

since he was nine years old. Did you see the video when he was nine or ten? And he was like, I know for a fact Michael wouldn't do anything like that. This guy defended Michael against another kid. But, yeah, in the documentary, they also have spoken out about why they did that, though. Why they do it.

And explained why. Because Michael Jackson was, according to them and what they're saying, was very manipulative and had them believing that he was married to them. He got them rings.

It was like a ceremony that they had. He said if he told anybody, then they wouldn't be allowed to be friends anymore. He was faxing these kids crazy, talking about I love you. Like, it was, it was, something was weird. I would love to hear Oprah ask them about Evan Chandler.

Evan Chandler is the other kid who accused Michael who ended up killing himself because they did defend Michael. I wonder if they defended Michael because they didn't believe Evan or because they thought they were protecting Michael. And they actually said that Michael Jackson had kind of like left them for dead until he needed their help to come, and that's when he came back into their lives to try to get them to come and testify on his behalf. I just don't understand why. Listen, if these were some other kids or some other grown people who had stories about Michael,

I can see making this special. But I think it's very unethical for somebody to be under oath to use these two kids who were under oath and defended Michael against another kid. Like, I don't see how we can look at their words with any integrity. I just think if you've been grooming kids since they've been like five or seven years old, I can't say how anybody would react. And I also feel like it's hard to say these things without having seen it to know what's happening. It's been going on forever.

Because we're talking about this. Let's go to the phone lines. Let's go to the phone lines, guys. Okay. Hello, who's this? It's Ron Stray. Hey, what's up, bro? We're talking leaving Neverland.

Did you see it last night? I saw about an hour and probably 10 minutes of it, and I changed the channel when Wade Robson referred to Michael Jackson's hair as a brillo pad. Okay, yeah, he said he would rub his hair. And it felt like a brillo pad. Okay, yeah, he said he would rub his hair. And it felt like a brillo, and I'm when I was so shocked that anyone says that

in 2019 and that no one who saw the previews actually pointed out that fact that I changed the channel. Okay. Well, thank you. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is CJ, man, from Jacksonville. Duval. Duval! What's up, CJ? Yeah, Florida boy. Did you see Leaving Neverland?

Every man, Charlemagne. What's up, man? What's up, man? Uh-huh. Did you watch Seeing Neverland last night? What did you think? Leaving. Leaving.

Man, I'm with Charlemagne on this one, man. I couldn't sit back and watch that, man. For real, man. Why they throw this man under the bus, man? Why he out of there, man? So you didn't watch it? No, I couldn't watch it. I refuse to stand up for that, man.

They feel like they're trying to go off the all-killer thing. That's exactly, that's another thing that we're not talking about. Like, I produce TV shows. Agents have asked me verbatim, who can we do a doc on? They don't care about women being assaulted, kids being abused. This is about money and viewership for these network people. All right, well, 800-585-1051. We're talking

Leaving Neverland. Did you see it last night? What did you think? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ N.V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking Leaving Neverland, which is the Michael Jackson docuseries. Part one was last night.

Now, if you missed it, we have some audio. Can we play some audio? Him talking to me. You and I were brought together by God. This is how we show our love. So taking showers together, you know, fondling and kissing, tongue in mouth. He would put my fingers on his nipples, tell me to squeeze them. And then Michael pulling my pants and my underwear down and going down and starting to perform oral sex. You know, quickly it turned into

having me perform oral sex on him too. You know, a full adult grown man sized penis in my mouth, you know, in a little seven year old's mouth. Now let's go to the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? This is Dan.

Hey, what's up, Dan? We're talking Leaving Neverland last night. Did you watch it? Yeah, man, that was pretty bananas. So what'd you think? At first I thought that, you know, it was kind of fabricated, and then as you started listening to the stories and you started listening to more of the kids and how they had similar stories,

I said, wow, I said, Mike really was a real predator. Real sad. So you believe it? Yeah, man. It's unfortunate. And, you know, in his legacy, you'd probably be tarnished by it. But, you know, it kind of reminds me of, like,

how R. Kelly is. But Mike was a little bit more slick about how he was doing it. But, yeah, it's just terrible. It was very detailed, the accounts that they gave of what they are saying happened to them. And I'm interested in Oprah because I look at Oprah as somebody that has good judgment when she does

things, and she is hosting the After Leaving Neverland show tonight. So I'm interested in what she's going to bring out of that and what made her change her mind. Because I know a lot of people went into this watching it and saying, okay, I don't believe this. This is awful.

This can't be true. And then some people's minds were changed. I think I said something wrong. Evan Chandler is the father of the kid who accused Michael Jackson. He killed himself. So I want to know, do these guys feel guilty in not helping that kid, Evan, get so-called justice? Because you was under oath defending Michael Jackson against that kid.

Shouldn't they be held accountable for that as well? Hello, who's this? This is Grant from Detroit. Hey, what's up, Grant? What's up, bro? Hey, how you doing? We're talking leaving Neverland. Did you see it last night?

Yes. I think it's full of crap. How are they going to come out with a documentary 10 years after he just died? And you got to look at it like they trying to make money because the director didn't even talk to the family. He just went with the kids just to make money. It's all about money. So you think it's about the director making money? Yeah.

Somebody made money. I know the director did, but I'm just saying he said that the kids didn't get paid. Wade Robson didn't get paid. I don't believe that. And neither did James Tate. No, no, no. You know they get paid money, E. I know the director did, but I'm just saying he said that the kids didn't get paid. Wade Robinson didn't get paid. I don't believe that. And neither did James Tate. No, no, no. You know they got paid. It's an LLC somewhere that got a check.

I'm just telling you what he said. They didn't get any money off of it. So what's their point of doing it? I guess if that's their truth, they want to tell the truth. Okay, well, let me ask you this question once again. If that's their truth. I'm asking you this question once again. What about the kids?

Since Wade and the other guy are getting closure, they're telling their story. What about the kid? Since Wade and the other guy are getting closure, they're telling their story. What about the kid they defended Michael against? When is that little boy going to get to tell his story? Because of Wade and the other guy, he didn't get no justice. I mean, maybe we'll see more about that in part two tonight. I don't know. It's hard to say. I would say this.

I will say this. I would say I'm not mad at the docuseries. What I'm mad at is that we didn't get both sides of the story. You do have these two individuals, and they're saying whatever they have to say, but we don't get the other side. This docuseries is really made to just ish on Michael Jackson. Because we didn't get both sides of the story. We've been getting the other side for 40 years.

These stories have been around. These stories aren't new. Anybody can do a little research. These stories are not new. Yeah, but a lot of people haven't done that research. For some people, a lot of this information might be their first time hearing it. There were things I saw

that I'd never heard before. And that's why it's biased. The FBI investigated Michael Jackson for 10 years. Michael Jackson's been in the court for these things. These two guys in this documentary

under oath were defending Michael Jackson against another kid. I just think this is so unethical and I don't like the energy around it. So, do we think the other kid was lying too? I don't know. Those are the questions that we need to be asking those two dudes

because those two dudes defended Michael against that kid. Well, maybe we'll get more information tonight. Maybe they'll explain that tonight in part two of the docuseries. Maybe we'll see it, and maybe we'll get more information from Oprah. Wade Robson's dad committed suicide. Hold on now, so I'm confused. Who committed suicide? Evan Chandler, he underwent multiple plastic surgeries and then took his own life.

And Wade Robson and his dad were estranged. And his father committed suicide also. So is Evan Chandler the father of the kid who was accusing Michael? Yeah, he's the one that came out with allegations against Michael Jackson. Evan's the father of the kid? No, Evan is the one that... And the kid. Yeah.

Okay, see, I'm confused. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on, hold on. You're both confused. I'm lost. That was Jordan Chandler. Jordan Chandler accused Jackson of molesting. I'm so confused.

I don't even know that story. Oh, my God. Jordan Chandler told his dad, Evan Chandler. Evan Chandler was a dentist about the abuse. So his son, Jordan Chandler, and then Wade Robson's dad also committed suicide. That just confused me and everybody out there. And Wade Robson is in the abuse. So his son, Jordan Chandler, and then Wade Robson's dad also committed suicide. That just confused me and everybody out there. And Wade Robson is in the documentary.

His dad committed suicide as well. No, that's right. Evan Chandler is the dad of the young boy. He killed himself. Wade Robson's dad hung himself in 2002. All right, so part two is tonight, and then after that,

Oprah Winfrey will be doing an interview with these two young gentlemen and be talking to them in depth. So hopefully we'll see something. We'll get something out of it. All right. We got rumors on the way? Yes.

Let's talk about somebody who is coming back to their job today after going on hiatus. And we'll tell you what sources are saying about this return to television. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Wendy Williams. Listen up. It's just the end. All the gossip. The rumor report. Angela Yee. It's the rumor

report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Wendy Williams, she is back on her show, on her Wendy show today. Just about an hour ago, she tweeted out, the wait is over, Wendy's back. So she has been out for quite some time now and they kept delaying, delaying when she was going to be back on her show.

First she took a three-week hiatus and then that got extended and extended, but now she's back today. I wonder if she's going to address any of her own drama First she took a three-week hiatus and then that got extended and extended, but now she's back today. I wonder if she's going to address any of her own drama. I don't see how you can't. It's going to be very awkward to discuss like Tristan Thompson cheating when for the past couple of months she's had to deal with those allegations in her own marriage.

She didn't say she was in... She didn't say what? Well, you know, they said she's been having issues because of her medication for her fractured shoulder, her Graves disease. And she promises a better Wendy this year. But there's a lot of people now that have been speaking out about some issues with Wendy and issues with her husband. And so we'll see what she's going to have to say about that. Now, they also have some audio of a man who says that Kevin Hunter threatened him the days of doing people wrong you know I You know, I got tagged in that video. He definitely tagged you.

Yeah, the kid's name is Avion Foster, I think it is. I think he was signed to Kevin Windy as a singer, and he was on a plane. And for whatever reason, people thought he was coming to the breakfast club. I have no idea why, but on Friday, a guy came here looking for that dude. Like some dude went to the front desk and asked for him, and I thought that was very strange. They asked for the singer? Yeah. They asked if he was here, if he was at the for him. And I thought that was very strange. They asked for the singer? Yeah. They asked if he was here, if he was at the breakfast club.

So I just thought that was strange. So I don't know what's going on. I don't know what this kid Avion knows that, you know, you don't want people to know, Kev. But I would hope you're not stupid enough to send someone after this kid after he gets on IG and tells people if something happens to him as Kevin Hunter. I would hope Kevin Hunter's not that dumb. Well, now there's a lot of stories coming out about Kevin Hunter and how Wendy was scared of him and how he was abusive toward her physically, verbally. So I'm sure all those things at some point are going to have to be addressed

because you are Wendy Williams, and we want to hear what you have to say about yourself, too. We want to hear the truth. Yeah, absolutely. I just hope he was not that dumb to send someone after someone after they say, if something happens to me, it's you. But I hope that she's much healthier now as she returns to television. Why would somebody be coming here to the Breakfast Club looking for that kid? We don't know that kid.

Yeah, that's the main thing. I hope she's healthy. I'm glad that she's working again. You never want to see anybody lose their job, you know? All right. Now, Peter Thomas, you know him from Real Housewives of Atlanta. He was previously married to Cynthia Bailey. Now he's having some issues.

He was taken into custody on Friday on a warrant for writing fraudulent checks. He is being held without bond. He's still in jail? Yeah, I guess there was no bond. I don't know what's going on. He ain't getting too much money to still. Oh, he ain't getting no bond. That's true.

Okay. All right. Now, Janice Freeman from The Voice. She passed away. She was only 33 years old. Come on, that's true. Okay. All right, now Janice Freeman from The Voice. She passed away. She was only 33 years old. They said she was battling a combination of bronchitis and lupus, and she had a blood clot in her lungs.

Yikes. And that's what happened, so rest in peace. And our condolences to Janice Freeman and to her family. She was one of Miley Cyrus' favorites on the show, and she just died, passed away this Saturday from that blood clot. That's sad. Stuff like that scares me. Stuff like that causes my anxiety to act up. Me too. I take an aspirin every time I get on a plane

because I'd be so scared of getting blood clots. Hell yeah. Alright, now Diddy has posted a picture of himself and Kim Porter in a broken heart and somebody said when she was alive you didn't want to marry her. Confused Negro GTFOH.

And he responded, I know, played myself, SMH. That was his response. That was some hard stuff to say. You know what I'm saying? Right, when some of the mother of your children has passed away, why would you say a thing like that? Yeah, I mean, God dang, I understand that ain't nobody got no heart on social media, but Lord have mercy.

Like, dang, the man posted a picture of the mother of his child who died with a broken heart. And then you're going to say, ah, GTFOH. All right, there were rumors that Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott had broken up, and apparently those rumors are not true. Even though he deleted everything and deactivated his Instagram, the rumor is that he's been trying to patch things up, and she confronted him because she believes she found evidence that he was cheating. He denies those cheating

claims and here he is shouting out of course his woman at Madison Square Garden during a show. I love you wifey. I love you wifey. Come on. Let's not have these new seasons coming back. I love you wifey. I love when dudes be under pressure for cheating. I love you wifey. It's the best.

And if nothing makes a man act right, then when he sees his life flash before his eyes because he thinks he may lose his woman for whatever reason. Yep. I love it. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.

I had a great panel discussion with them. Tonight, I'm going to be at William Patterson, Willie P, having another discussion. You know, it's Women's History Month. Last month was Black History Month. There's a lot of panels and a lot of activities going on surrounding this. So I'm going to be everywhere. Alright, get that panel fetter. Alright, when we come back, we got your

positive note. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. First, shout out to Bernie Sanders for joining us this morning. Yes, Luke to Bernie Sanders. That full interview is up on YouTube. People are not happy about the way he responded

to the reparations question. I don't blame him. I'm all for pushing the line on reparations. You know what I'm saying? Black people have been through a lot in this country. We've had a specific set of circumstances that have happened to us, from slavery to Jim Crow segregation, and slavery helped build this goddamn country.

So, yes, I feel like it should be a specific type of reparations that comes to black people, specifically for us. Yes, I do agree with that, 100%. All right. And shout out to our Charlotte Station Streets 103.3. Of course, I was stuck out here, so I wasn't going to make it back for the breakfast club, so they opened up the station and allowed me to broadcast here. So shout out to you guys. That's nice.

You should stay there and enjoy yourself some more because it is kind of nasty here. I got to get home to the kids. They want to play in the snow. They've been hitting me all morning already. Hurry up. Let's go in the snow. Yeah, they should pelt you with snowballs as soon as you get out of the car. That's not nice.

And shout out to Uncle Luke. I saw he just tweeted that his podcast is now here, his first podcast show. Yours truly, Uncle Luke. I'm sure that's going to podcast is now here, his first podcast show. Yours truly, Uncle Luke. I'm sure that's going to be entertaining. He said his first guest is Bakari Sellers. Hey. So they're going to be talking about their opinions on some of the candidates, including Kamala Harris. And hopefully they're talking about the documentary I did with Bakari, While I Breathe, I Hope,

which is available for streaming on PBS.org right now. Mm-hmm. All right, you got a positive note? Yes, the positive note is all blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame them, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration.

You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming them, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy. That's from Wayne. That's from Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. Breakfast club, bitches! Y'all finished or y'all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own?
