What are you talking about, sir? Your girl's clearly not your girl no more. I understand that. She's thinking about somebody else. She's not thinking about you. She's thinking about her family, her child, and her future baby daddy. And that's me. No, it's not.

He working for the state. Okay, so do you want attention or do you want to get your case dropped? I want my case dropped because, I mean, I have all the evidence. I got video evidence of them saying, you know,

So he wants to get attention in order to... Get his case dropped. Yeah, to get his case dropped. Right, because I can't get help nowhere.

that doesn't sometimes happen. You ain't got no lawyer. I got a paid lawyer. I got a paid lawyer. He working for the state because they all buddies. Yeah, sometimes they try

to make you take a plea because they don't even feel like going to trial or something. Well, you paying the wrong lawyer, buddy. You got to pay the lawyer that's giving the judge oral sex when ain't nobody looking. Hey, that's against the law. Hello, who's this? iPhone Sim, what's popping?

The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Oh, Becky with the good hair. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Barack Obama gave his farewell speech. Very sad, very touching. Let's play a clip, a quick audio of the speech.

Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, girl of the South Side. For the past 25 years, you have not only been my wife and mother of my children, you have been my best friend. You took on a role you didn't ask for. And you made it your own with grace and with grit and with style and good humor. So we're asking 805-85-1051, how did Barack Obama's presidency inspire you? Now I tell you mine, I got two young black boys. So the fact that they can grow up and see a black president and really believe that they can possibly become president means the world to me. What about you, Yee? I think health wise, President Barack Obama, that's probably one way that I was inspired the most.

Just even seeing his wife go out and do this whole campaign on fighting obesity and being healthier and making sure that everybody has health care. I know that was a big deal for him, and I agree with that also. So that's part of what inspired me to even get involved with opening the juice bar. What about you, Charlie? For me, man, I think it would be the title of barack obama's book uh the audacity of hope you know the greatest thing barack obama did was provide hope and if you don't think hope is important ask yourself why you don't have any right now okay he was a great symbol that things have gotten a lot better in america because a black man is president you know we know this is

a country that was built on, you know, systemic racism and institutionalized oppression. So the fact that a black man, you know, became president, it provided a lot of hope. And also just as a man, because even if you don't like Barack Obama's politics, even if you feel like he didn't do anything for you, he didn't do anything for black people, whatever, just as a man, you have to admit, he's one of the

most decent men walking the face of the earth. Because if they had something on Barack Obama that they could smear his name and slander him, they would have used it by now. The fact he never had no side children, no side women. You never heard about

him saying anything derogatory about anyone. Just the fact of him being such a decent man, he provided a lot of inspiration. Alright, well let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Michelle. Hey Michelle, has Barack Obama inspired you at all? He did. He did. He inspired more of my

son than me because I have a black son, of course, and I never thought growing up, I'm half white, half black, so I never thought growing up, growing up I'm half white, half black, so I never thought growing up that it would be a black president. So for me to see this and for my son to see it, and he's 16 years old, it's amazing. Only thing that was hard for me was explaining to him why Donald Trump was president.

Right. Y'all are really kind of misconstruing this thing here. What you mean? Barack Obama got a lot of education. Barack Obama went to Harvard. Barack Obama, it took him a lot to build that foundation to be president. Donald Trump has nothing. As a kid, did you ever think you would see a black president?

No, I didn't think I would see one. But to say you think you can be one is different. It takes a lot of work to be the first black president. But it can be done. And that shows if you're a young black boy that you can work for it. Yeah, it can be done with a lot of hard work, but Donald Trump is a better case of optimism. But Donald Trump has a lot of bread. They say he's worth a billion dollars.

He didn't become president because he had a lot of bread. Hillary Clinton raised more money in her campaign than Donald Trump did. But he became popular because he had a lot of bread. No. Yes, he did. Not for presidency. I think there's a lot of reasons why. The reason why he's so big is because he's a millionaire and billionaire. If that was the case, the was the billionaire that remember president at that time? Ross Perot, he'd have been president.

It's not about money. It's not about money. Hello, who's this? This is M.O.T. from Nap Town. Hey, what's up, bro? Man, I just want to say, first off, you know, Obama, he's a black and white president. We don't get a white side credit. You know, that's the DNA don't lie.

You know what I mean? But he's a melanated brother, so, you know, we still don't count him black. But I would say what's inspiring about him was the fact that he had a black woman

and black little children in that white house. That was a good look to see psychologically for kids out here. A strong black family and a good position. Absolutely.

800-585-1051. We're asking, has Barack Obama's presidency inspired you? Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. They're taking your calls right now. 800-585-1051. We're asking, Barack Obama's, his presidency, has it inspired you? Now, a lot of people are commenting on Twitter and Instagram, and King Kwame said, it made me stay in

the Army. I can tell my grandkids I served under a black president. Thank you, President Obama. Alright. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Tiana from Cleveland, Ohio. Hey, Tiana. Good morning. Good morning. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Tiana from Cleveland, Ohio. Hey, Tiana. Good morning. Good morning.

How are y'all? Pretty good. Now we're talking Barack Obama. Has his presidency inspired you, Mama? Oh, yes. Not only me, but actually my 10-year-old daughter, which inspires me, because now she wants to go to Harvard and become maybe the first black woman president. My daughter, too.

Yeah. That is true. My daughter, too. And the fact I took my daughter to Harvard Business School when I spoke there, she was really inspired by that. And the fact Barack's daughter is going to Harvard. She talks about Harvard all the time. Wow.

Hello, who's this? Hello, my name is Wardell from Detroit. Hey, what's up, bro? We're talking Barack Obama. Did his presidency inspire you? Yeah, he inspired me. He just did an overall good job, just a positive face for the whole country.

He did a good job, you know. He came to work and he showed up and he did the best he could. He ain't never got no fellatio in the Oval Office. Exactly. Well, maybe by his wife. Yeah, his wife. And then Envy, one more thing. Envy, you're not black, man. You're Hispanic. You gotta represent for the Latinos, baby. Yeah, you represent.

I think it's so disgusting Envy doesn't represent for the Latin community. I know he keeps saying he's black. I know his kids got to be confused when they fill out that paperwork. I totally agree with you. None of his kids can salsa. None of them know how to merengue.

You don't know that. It's merengue. Whatever. And they know how to do both of that. And I am black. Your kids don't even like empanadas. They Spanish. They love empanadas.

They know how to merengue and they know how to salsa. Do your kids wear white jeans after Labor Day? No. Oh, they might not be Latino then. Hello, who's this? You know who this is, boy.

What's up? Now, I'm going to tell you something. The most inspiring thing about President Barack Obama, I'm going to pay him his respect and call him president because he still is. The most inspiring thing

is the fact that he had the most perfect set of waves and has never been seen out and about with a do-rag on. That's inspiring. I've seen you coons out and about, do-rags just flapping in the wind, but never seen that with President Obama. Eight years in office, perfect waves, and never been seen with a do-rag on. What did Nicki Minaj say back in the day? Waves don't swim, so they hate on him.

What, man? Hello? Yeah. Hey, who's this? Mike. Mike, good morning. Good morning. Did Barack Obama inspire you?

He really did. You know, as being a young black boy, I'm a senior in high school, trying to make goals in life. He's an everyday reminder, saying to always keep pushing hard and whatever they tell you you can't do, you can do.

Because, you know, they don't like to see us succeed sometimes, but we got to fight and do whatever they do ten times better than they do it. I'm always going to remember that. And by the way, I need you grown men to stop referring to yourselves as black boys. You're a young black man, sir. Right. Hello, who's this?

It is John from Charleston. Hey, John. 843, what's happening? Did his presence inspire you, bro? Yeah, it inspired me, man. Telling us that we really ain't got no feelings. Seeing that you're of Spanish descent, showing me in black, you know. I'm black, you bastard.

You are not. Why? What's wrong with you? Wrap your hood, Envy. I'm black. But let's not get off track. Go ahead. Why?

My bad, man. I thought you were Spanish. He is Spanish, sir. He's just in denial for whatever reason. I'm track. Go ahead. Why? Why? Oh, my bad, man. I thought you were Spanish. He is Spanish, sir. He's just in denial for whatever reason. I'm black, man. Go ahead. Oh, man, that threw me off a deal. I'm sorry about that, man.

NBN Reads. Yeah, but, you know, we ain't got no seal in this end for the stars, man. I feel like I could do anything right now, you know. But especially when Donald Trump be president, I feel like I really could do anything, you know, with charges and everything. So I feel like I really could do anything, you know, with charges and everything. So I feel like anything possible. There you go. That's what I'm talking about.

Donald Trump is the greatest case of optimism for anybody in America. If Donald Trump can become the president of the United States, I can do anything. OK? We're not talking about Donald Trump. Barack is a special human being. All right. Period. They don't make him like Barack.

What's the moral of the story? I mean, the moral of the story is hope. You know, sometimes that's all you have when you have nothing else. If you have it, you have everything. And I mean, that's one thing that Barack Obama provided for us. The most inspiring thing that I got from his speech was accountability. That should be your word for 2017. Accountability. Because we must be the change we

want to see in the world. And we have to be accountable for ourselves and our own success and happiness. Contrary to popular belief, can't nobody do that for you. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Now, hold on, hold on. Slow down, slow down. Okay, I think that I should introduce

this part. We didn't even introduce the first part. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, everybody. All right, it's Angelique. That's DJ Envy over there. That's Charlamagne there. It's insignificant, though, right now, because we have Vivica A. Fox in the building.

Madam Vivica. She don't care about you. She don't care about you. Guys, guys, shut up for a second. All right. Alongside Penetration and Heat. Yes, from Vivica's Black Magic. Madam Vivica is here with her hoes, baby.

Penetration. Yes. We heard how much you liked the names that the boys were coming up with. When he introduced himself, he was like, this is Penetration. I'm like, whoa. It's going to be like that. It's going to be like that. You call him Young Pino. I'm glad, Vivica, I just want to say that you're doing this because I did see Chocolate City.

Yes. I know that was the idea for Vivica's Black Magic came from Chocolate City. Yeah, this was my brainchild. When I was working with the director Jean-Claude Lemaire I was like, yo, you got a goldmine here. We could do a reality show. We could do a tour. Because right about now Stripper's winning. You know what I'm saying? Everybody

want to make it rain. So it's kind of like you know, I wanted to do something for the girls. Our main goal was to create the ultimate girls night out that every Wednesday that they can trust that, you know, I wanted to do something for the girls. Our main goal was to create the ultimate girls' night out that every Wednesday that they can trust that, you know, we got so much craziness going on in the world for them to come and get with us, have a good time, have some drinks, and the gentlemen will reap the benefits.

You say strippers are women. It's women's strippers, though. Like, male strippers. No, no, no. There's two called strippers, too. What? Male strippers got a stigma, though. Did y'all not see my show? What's the stigma? That they're gay.

Oh, stop it. Now, I'm going to keep it real. Stop that. Stop that. Absolutely. I'm going to tell you the truth. They say that because. You ain't seen the boys on my show.

No, I haven't. No. That's a misconception because. Tune in. You shall see. I'm going to tell you this. That's because men don't want their women to go to these male review shows. So they put.

Y'all put that rumor out there. Say that. That's what it is because I've these male review shows. So they put, y'all put that rumor out there. Say that. That's what it is because I've hosted male review shows before. And I'm going to tell you, the first time I did it, I had some of my friends with me. Melissa Ford was with me too. Yeah. And I had to host a male review show and my friends were very like, oh, I don't want nobody to touch me.

By the time we got in there and they had some drinks, one of my friends had a penis thumped on her head. See? Yeah. And they had a great time. We don't get that graphic. My friends were in the middle of the stage going crazy because I'm not going to lie, at the male review shows, these guys have a lot of talent.

Penetration. How'd you get your name? Say that again? What's that question? Young Pino. How'd you get your name? Penetration. My ex-girlfriend gave me that name, to be honest.

We had a few sessions that night, you know. And she was like, you know, I got a perfect name for you. And I was like, what's that? And that was the end. You know, penetration. Did you have a dance for Game Angel? Oh, hell no. Money is money, though.

In the strip club, females go to the strip club and females dance on females. I've been to Magic City in Atlanta. When I started doing the show, I went there because guess what? The strip clubs in Atlanta have turned into the clubs in Atlanta. That's what everybody going there and just having a good time. It used to be so taboo to say, oh, my gosh, I'm going to a strip club.

Now everybody's like, what's happening? Where are you going? They're in there having a good time. The music is real good. And that's what I like. You know, I don't try to be a h good time. The music is real good. And that's what I like. You know, I don't try to be a hater. I try to be a congratulator. If that's what's working.

And also for my sisters. I got tired of you go to Vegas, you only got Thunder from Down Under or Chippendales with that one brother over in the corner. And I was like, oh, really? Even Magic Mike? You did your homework. You went to all of them.

Yes, I did. You know. Research purposes. I had to be edumacated. I had to be edumacated about it. Let's not leave it in the air, though. Why wouldn't they dance for gay men? Because there's no need to.

They dance for women. Okay. It's called the ultimate girls' night out for a reason. Got you, got you, got you. But what happens if men just happen to, there's a couple that happen? We have a couple of guys that come there, you know? I mean, but, you know. It's a great place.

It's not that kind of penetration. It's that kind of penetration. It's a great place for guys to meet women, though, because you go to a show. The women in there are feeling good. It's all women. Yes. So if you happen to be a guy in the audience, I think the best thing to do is have a male review show and then have a party after. Exactly. There's a lot of big women, too, that come. Oh, yeah. We get we love to. Exactly. Love them all. So let's talk about some of the things you guys have to do to prep to perform, because I know you have love to. Exactly. We love them all.

So let's talk about some of the things you guys have to do to prep to perform because I know you have to make sure that you stay. You want to know how y'all get a chub before y'all hit the stage. You have to stay erect. And I heard you have to tie a... Yeah. I'm sorry. I don't do that. I can't dance like that.

I dance too hard to be dancing with blood and my thang thang. I got to... Thang thang. I tried it once and I almost passed out we're talking about a penis thing you know what you said

it could fall off cause you know if you're tying around it every night I don't do it I don't play with my thang I need my thang to work right when I get out

I know that's right but you do it Heath I mean sometimes it depends how long it depends on what you're working with it actually depends

how long the show is cause like if the show is more than 15 minutes, if that's on you, it's over. No. Turn it blue. You don't want to get gangrene. Now, you know, a couple days ago was Angelique's birthday.

So she really would like a dance before you guys leave. There you go. Dance. Dance. Come on. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta. He's dead. Break it down for him. All right, Tommy. Why not single? Break it down for him.

Oh! I can't look, man. I'm going to get you a towel, baby. Just show what you got. Go make a ring. Go make a ring. We ready. Go make a ring.

Go make a ring. Look, that's what I want to hear. I know you can't get up. But look at this. You see how quickly he got into it, right? Real quick. Real quick. Real quick. That's all I'm saying.

Charlamagne didn't start throwing pennies at you. Okay. That's all right, though. We appreciate it. We appreciate it. Happy birthday, sweetheart, from Vivica's Black Magic. I respect it, though, because guys do this type of stuff all the time. Of course.

So it's good to see a woman taking charge and saying, you know what? Let's pimp some of these men, too. We're not pimping, but you know. That's the beauty of the show is being the head chick in charge. And then you get to see I have a showrunner and a show producer that's also a female, Jerika and Kiana. And what we did is that we had a nationwide search, guys from all over America auditioned for the show. And we picked an elite eight. And what it is, it is our journey of getting a residency in Las Vegas.

Because when we did go to Las Vegas, we met Billy Cross from Down Under. They've been on the Las Vegas Strip for close to 20 years. They are booked internationally and domestically year-round. Really? Yeah. Oh, they... I need that. Paid.

That's where women go for their bachelorette parties. Exactly. So that's what I thought for the sisters, that, you know, we need bachelorette parties, divorce parties, just because it's Wednesday parties. Right. You know, just cause. All right, keep it locked. We got more with Vivica A. Fox coming up, and we might try to give you another lap dance.

You know, her birthday was the other day. Keep it locked. 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 Vivica A. Fox in the building. Charlamagne? You call them male and tiny, your man, buddy?

Yes, I do. I mean, out of respect. I just didn't want to be like, yes, tripping number one, two, you know, like, they've become my family. But do women spend money like men in the strip club? Oh, yes. We have a change machine that when they come in, that they're waiting to come in. Oh, yeah. I'm telling you.

You have to check out every strip that comes. You got to stay naked and check them out. Oh, no, no, no. You have to watch the show. You see the audition. The only thing I ask them to do is definitely manscape. You know what I mean? I'm sorry.

But, you know, they like it to be smooth so that when the guy named Bushman is stay on their body shout out to Bushman in Detroit but you know and my guys

we make sure that they're in great shape they work out which is good and like I said you know for all the guys like let your ladies

watch the show because trust me you're going to reap the benefits after the show is there a lot of diversity in the male exotic dance industry because for me it seems like

I always noticed the white yeah well that's all that's been put out there for Chippendales and stuff like that. So that's why when the show came out, we came out on Wednesday night. We were trending and everyone's like, thank you.

Finally, something for us. Something we can look at. Yeah. And it's hard to find a male review show. Like, even here, it's like a not very frequent thing. It's like a special occasion. Excuse me, in a show. Like, even here, it's like a not very frequent thing. It's like a special occasion. Excuse me, in a hall. Yeah, yeah.

Random hall in the middle of nowhere. So basically, you want their business card before you leave is what you're saying. And then also, I know a lot of male exotic dancers. I got that right there. Right here, bam. There you go. But we're grateful to Lifetime. They gave us eight episodes.

Wow. It was the first pitch that I went out there with Propagate, Howard Owens. They literally bought eight episodes. It was the first pitch that I went out there with Propagate, Howard Owens. They literally bought eight episodes. It was the first pitch that I did, and that's rare. I've been in Hollywood for years, and when you pitch shows, it's rare that they buy it just that quick. And a year later, here we are on the air. As a personal question, do you still get, this is going to sound crazy,

do you still get horny seeing men now because you see it all the time? Oh, sure. Like, I'm in a strip club so much, it's not moving me. How many tricks that these girls do nowadays don't turn you on? I'm a very straight woman strictly over here, but I even went

to the strip club and them girls were doing tricks. I was like, wow. I mean, really? Maybe you need to start going to see some male strippers. Maybe you're burnt out on the women. That's what it sounds like. Change your channel. But to keep it real, y'all can learn a lot from these guys.

I tried. I just think the different ways that the girls are learning to do their routines, none of it impresses you anymore. But what can a guy do? There's no pole. You have to see it. Show them one time. No, no, no.

You have not. There's no pole, though, right? There's no pole in the strip not. Pino, show them one time. No, no, no. You have not. These guys. There's no pole, though, right? There's no pole in the strip club. No, no, no, no. But there are very many. There's a lot of poles in the male strip club. I don't know if you want to slide down it, though.

If you can see how they can take a girl and put her on one hand and spin her around. Let's see. Yeah, go ahead. It's very present. No, dang. Don't do her like that. She's got a private dance. No, but you're right.

I've been in the strip club. I've seen them. They pick women up. They flip them around. They do all kinds of tricks. They can do tricks with fire. Show them a trick, Pino. Come on.

Show yourself one time. Oh, my God. You ready, girl? Get your money. Dollar only. Dollar only. Okay. Give him some room give him some room don't let me start your day off right that's right okay there you go uh-oh make sure you guys room and come on he's sitting down One more time. His call ain't too strong.

His crack is in her face. It's too small, man. That's right. Now, don't you deny texting Pino later on. That's a lot. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yes. Girl, we shot your morning off right.

Penetration was all in. I was in the male review show with Envy and Charlamagne. Thank you for being a willing participant. But it's not that easy. No, not the city I tried, but I tried once. I tried to do the belly roll one time for my wife. Show them, show them, show them how you did. Come on, show them, come on, come on, come on. I got a cowboy on the finish line.

Come on, come on. Envy dressed up as a cowboy. You dressed up as a cowboy. I did dress up as a cowboy. I did dress up as a cowboy. I did dress up as a cowboy. I did dress up as a cowboy. I did dress up as a cowboy. I did dress up as a cowboy. I did dress up as a cowboy. I did dress up as a cowboy. I did dress up as a cowboy on the video. Come on, girl. Come on, girl.

Envy dressed up as a cowboy. You dressed up as a cowboy. Show me what you work with. You know how many scribbles I know named Envy? There's only one next to you. Come on, Envy. Show me what you work with. Oh, he bluffs it.

He bluffs it. All right, I love it. That's all right. When we come back next time, you're going to have a routine ready for me, right? You got it. Do you guys have love it. That's all right. When we come back next time, you're going to have a routine ready for me, right? You got it. All right. Do you guys have any piercings? Okay.

Yes. Just one in my ear. That's about it. No, I know one of my friends who's a military dancer, he had a piercing on his penis and it got ripped out during one of his performances. Ah. All right. I used to have a belly ring and I did a movie and it got ripped out and I was like, okay,

that's the end of the piercing. Yeeks. all right. Well, keep it locked. We got more with Vivica A. Fox. Don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Vivica A. Fox is still in the building with us. Charlamagne. You know what I want

to ask you, Vivica? Sure, babe. With the current landscape with TV, like with Black-ish and Atlanta and Instant Kill and Empire, they say they feel like the 90s is back. As someone who went through that era, do you feel that way too? Yes, I do. You know, it's been a long time coming for things to, for us to feel like,

wow, when you turn on the TV, you see good, good quality products. Do you know what I mean? Especially for women with Scandal, Empire, How to Get Away with Murder, Shonda Rhimes, all of her shows. It's been a long time coming because it seemed like for a minute, they kind of forgot about us. Do you know what I mean?

It's kind of like what happened in politics, how they felt like, oh, y'all forgot about us, so now we're going to go crazy and go almighty whitey. But that's alright. But now we're back on TV and things are good. Why do you think it was a lapse, though? Because it seemed like the 90s was popping. Well, reality happened, to be honest with you.

Reality TV. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, reality TV definitely changed a lot for actors and actresses because, you know, they could pay people to show up $1,500 and do anything if that. And so that took over. And then you got your reality stars, Instagram, social media, all that. It was just it was a different time for that.

Now that's kind of like fading away. And now actors are coming back that people finally got hip to the fact that, oh, that's scripted in a way, too. It's not it's not you know what I mean? Because it's a storyline, and they give people storylines when they act it out now, so I think now they really want to see actors do their thing. Because of you, I will always hate Officer Scrooge and Detective Waller.

Okay? Set it off. Oh, well, get out. Get out. Come on. Detective Waller shot you in the back. And you were trying to run for the bus. She was like, huh? What do you mean? Wait a minute.

I was so... Did you know this? We're here. I'm right. I was right. Where am I going to take this? Right, where we going? Where we going?

Where we going? Where we going? Let me think. But you're right. Send it off. I'm watching it over the holidays. Can you believe? It's been 20 years.

Yeah. 20 years. Because we got killed, honey. Everybody died, you idiot. Except for Stoney. Stoney's the only one. Wait for it to do the part two. No, no.

I think it was a classic. I commend F. Gary Gray. Because right now they're making remakes of every damn thing. And I just commend F. Gary Gray that he was like, you know what? Nah. They did it. We set it up. They didn't think it was going to do that well.

Well, we had no idea that it was going to be that huge. And like you said, it plays all the time, and people just absolutely love it. I remember Siskel and Eva said... Thank you. We appreciate the support. Siskel and Eva said it got snubbed. It should have got an Oscar now. We did our thing.

But once again, I commend the director, F. Gary Gray, because when we originally got the script, the characters were almost kind of laughable. It was all the stereotypes of African-Americans. So every day that we would come to rehearsals, F. Gary Gray, we were just tossing out pages. He's like, we have got to explain why you guys' backs are against the wall. Why did you all decide?

If there's no motivation for the journey, then we're not going to believe it. And we did all the shooting, running. I mean, we filmed for six weeks at night, and those girls will always have a special place in my heart. Did y'all know it was going to be a classic when y'all recorded it? We had a good feeling about it because we was putting it down. Like, Queen Latifah was like, damn, never cry like this.

And, you know, we just had scenes that were gut-wrenching, and it was great that Latifah and Jada and us, that we all knew each other. So we was like, we're going to make this work. And Latifah was doing Living Single, an album, at the same time. I mean, like, some days she would be in the makeup chair just asleep, but she never showed up with an ego, no drama. It was like we all wanted it to be good.

Now her Curb Your Enthusiasm is coming back, too. LD. So does that mean? The blacks are coming back. We shall see. By the way, that's the characters. Yeah, we don't know if the blacks are coming back. We shall see. By the way, that's the characters. We don't know if the blacks are coming back. But, you know, another show that

took my career to another level because when I did the show, he wanted to make sure that we stripped away Vivica Fox. He was like, yo, I want you to come in. I want no glamour. I want you to be just raw. I want people to know that you can just Really be funny And when you came in

They just gave you Like a little synopsis And you kind of came up With your own script That was dope We seen you on Wendy And I'm glad you squashed Your beefs and everything

And that you have No more problems That's good for the new year Needed to Yeah that's a good thing Because it was real petty The memes were funny But I'm just glad

The memes were funny as hell I know And it's crazy Because That one there Like I said I always have love for him. And I hated that it had to go left. But, you know, the thing for me is that, you know, when he was attacking my empire family, you know, y'all know me. I'm always real.

I see. And I had to stand up for my family. How many fights do you get into? Because you look like you will punch up in the face immediately. I won't anymore because I get sued. Okay. But back in the day, though, you know, you know, pretty girl, they try to think you weak, but yeah, it was time to squash that.

To be grownups. Were you ever upset at 50 that he put it out there that you can butt? Oh, thank you, Charlamagne. I knew that was coming. Geez, we knew that was coming sometime. I knew that. Oh, God. I do that.

I mean. He does. What do you do? Do you put chocolate, honey? No, I'm a straight regular. Fresh off the shelf. No. No.

No seasoning. There was no ass eating that went on. That was a story that he came up with, I think. Oh, it wasn't true? No, it wasn't true. It's interesting that anybody can say anything and people believe it's true, though. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, that wasn't nothing crazy, though. Yeah. I mean, it's really not that crazy, but. It is true, though. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's nothing, that wasn't nothing crazy, though. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, it's really not that crazy, but I would have been, he would have been a good male exotic dancer, I always felt like.

In his heyday. Absolutely. In his heyday. Yeah, when he first came out, he definitely had body body check. I always tell women, when you eat a man's ass, try to put a little knuckle in it,

because when he try to use it against you, that you eat his ass, you could always say, but you won't talk about that knuckle. All right. Vivica's Black Magic

light time. 10 o'clock. We thank you for coming. You are so welcome. And we found out she does not ass ladies. Thank you very much.

Thank you. And now we are going to watch Black Magic and put that wear back there y'all. We moving on 2017. Let's go have some fun. And now we are going

to watch Vivica's Black Magic together. You can say it anywhere but back there. Oh, did that come out wrong? Yeah, it came out wrong. Well, no, that was something that I always said on Wendy Williams. Yeah, put that where? Back there.

Back there, yeah. We just don't eat it. I'm glad we all had this male review show together. Because you'll make memes out of your ass. Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. All right.

It's the breakfast love. It's penetration. It's heat. And Vivica Fox. I appreciate the love, y'all. Don't do it. All right. It's the breakfast love. It's penetration. It's heat. And Vivica Fox. I appreciate the love, y'all. Have a blessed 2017. We appreciate the love, y'all. All right.

All right. Don't, don't play with her. Don't be dishonest. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, we're taking your calls right now

on some things that Vivica Fox said. We asked her if her strippers, she has a new show coming on. What's the name of her show, Yee? Black Magic, Vivica's Black Magic. Where she has these strippers. It's like the ultimate female's night out, right? And we asked her if her strippers would dance for men, gay men. And she said, hell no.

And people got upset about this. And what happened because of that, Yee? Now her partner, executive producer, has cut ties with her, but he's still executive producer on the show. So we're asking 805-85-1051 of people being too sensitive, right? I don't think people are being too sensitive. I think that you can't tell people how to react. If people want to react to her and they're upset at her,

they have that right to be upset. All right. Okay, well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hey, Tiffany. You heard what Vivica Fox said. What do you think? I think that it's not wrong.

I think they're trying to push this gay and gender thing too far. If you don't believe in it, you don't believe in it. I teach my children marriage is between a man and a woman. If you bring home anything else, it's not acceptable. What? That's what you say to your kids? Yes. That sounds crazy.

If your son or your daughter is gay, you know they won't tell you? They'll keep it from you? They'll probably hate you and resent you? They'll probably tell their father and stuff because my husband is more, but we teach them, you know, we show them a marriage is between a man and a woman. If you don't believe in it, you don't believe in it. I feel like they're forcing it on people who said believe in it. If you don't believe in it, you don't believe in it. I feel like they're forcing it on people who

don't believe in it. If you don't believe in it, you don't believe in it. Yeah, and there's nothing wrong with you raising your kids that way. If that's the way you feel like you need to raise your kids.

The problem is, everybody minding each other's business for no damn reason. What you mean? What you mean no? I don't know about raising your kids. You raising your kids telling them if a man

likes a man is unacceptable? If I'm a parent, I can teach my kid anything I want to. That's not illegal. It doesn't make it right. The only problem is you don't want your kids to look at other people and judge them based on their lifestyle choices. And you don't want your kids to come to you and

say, hey, not want to come to you if there's something wrong. A lot of people repress their feelings because they're scared to talk to their parents. Once again, this boils down to a matter of choice. I have the choice to say what I want and people have the choice to say what I want, and people have the choice to react how they want. That lady has the power, she has the choice to teach her kids whatever she wants to teach them. It's not illegal.

Hello, who's this? This is Kaysen from Polk County, Florida. Hey, Kaysen, we're talking some comments. Shout out Polk County, shout out my girl, Seven Streeter. Right. My views on the whole thing, I'm a black lesbian myself, so, you know, just coming from the gay community, I feel

like, you know, what she said wasn't wrong, but, you know, in the tone she said it might have been, but she says they're not desperate for gay guys. They're not desperate for gay guys, and she meant that. Okay. Okay, so you're not offended. No, I'm not at all. Yeah, but you're not a gay person in position of power.

That can stop her show or quit working with her. The same people in power want to take they sensitive. Too sensitive. Maybe they not. But she's a gay lesbian. Yeah, she's a lesbian, so she's allowed to have her opinion. No, she's not. She's a lesbian.

So lesbians are a monolith now? Lesbians don't all think differently? What are y'all saying? No, we're saying that she has an opinion. She's a lesbian. She just said she's a lesbian. So lesbians are a monolith now? Lesbians don't all think differently? What are y'all saying? No, we're saying that she has an opinion. That's her opinion. Right, that's what people are calling him. Yeah, right, my opinion. But one of the gay dudes that works on the show.

Why do you keep calling him a gay dude? I said one of the gay dudes that works on the show, who may be an EP on the show, who may be in control of the show, they may not feel like working with Vivica no more. That's fine. You never know who you're going to offend when you say certain things. I thought we were

just asking for people's opinions. The moral of the story is, you just don't know how people are going to react to things. Period. Right. And that's fine. She just gave her reaction. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed up.

So like a donkey. Donkey of the Day. The practice club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the Day is a new one. Yes, Donkey of the day goes to young Kodak Black. I have no problems with the young man, Kodak Black, but donkey of the day does not discriminate. And this is a teachable moment, okay? If you don't know who Kodak Black is, he's a young Haitian rapper from Florida.

Sac passe to all my Haitians out there. You hear that? I'll board up and be as Haitian. Envy Spanish. I'm not Spanish. But you can never scream out Sock Posse and not get a my boulet back, okay? The same way you can never say raindrop. Drop top.

Exactly. Okay. Now, Kodak Black is popping out here in these streets. He just got out of jail recently, and he picked up right where he left off. Kodak Black is out here saying he's the best rapper alive and I have no problem with that. If you rap, you should feel like that. In fact, forget rap. Whatever you do, you should feel like you're the best at it. If you don't, what's the point

of doing it? What you gonna say to yourself? I'm the most decent rapper alive. I'm the most average rapper alive. I'm the most pretty good rapper alive. Nah, I'm the best rapper alive, period. Sometimes you have to plant things in people's mind. You have to speak things into fruition. We all saw this happen for Lil Wayne back in the day.

Wayne stepped it up lyrically on the dedication mixtapes and started saying he was the best rapper alive. And people started buying into it. I had no problem with that either. Whether I agreed or disagreed with his best rapper alive claims doesn't matter. If you feel that way, say it. But you must be able to back it up with bars. Raps, okay? Lil Wayne said he was the best rapper alive,

and he showed and proved that he was one of the best rappers alive by rapping his ass off. Which brings me to Young Kodak Black. See, Kodak seems to want to challenge Lil Wayne for the best rapper alive moniker. Now, if I claim to be the best rapper alive, and another rapper had that title, then I would think the best way to prove I'm the best rapper alive is by rapping.

But nope, not Kodak Black. Let's hear what he had to say. Tell Lil Wayne, fight me. I'm going to knock that stupid ass out. I'll bet everything on it. Send Soulja Boy and Chris Brown doing it. I don't even need no trainer. I don't need Floyd Mayweather, Adrian Brown.

I'm going to beat Lil Wayne's stupid ass. Watch. And whoever win, they the best. Now, Kodak, listen to me, young brother. I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, but I do know just because you possibly could beat Lil Wayne in a fight doesn't mean you can rap better

than Lil Wayne. It just means you can fight better than Wayne. I don't see the correlation. See, in order to be the best rapper alive, you have to rap better than other rappers. Contrary to a lot of you new Negroes' popular belief, it doesn't matter who has the most guns. Doesn't matter who has the most money. Doesn't matter who has the most

Instagram followers. Doesn't matter who can fight better. If you say you're the best rapper alive, you have to prove it with bars and music, my brother. I'm all for the youngins challenging the throne, but if you're going to challenge the throne of best rapper alive, you have to prove it with bars and music, my brother. I'm all for the youngins challenging the throne, but if you're going to challenge the throne of best rapper alive, rap, okay? Challenge it with rap, not by fighting.

And by the way, if Lil Wayne didn't know you before, he probably knows you now and it's for all the wrong reasons. Oh, Kodak Black, that's the guy who said he's the best rapper alive, but he'd rather fight me to prove it than actually rap. If a barber says he's the best barber alive, he has to cut hair. If a chef says he's the best chef alive, he has to cook.

If a woman says she has the best poom-poom alive, then she has to pop that wet, wet for a goon and prove it. So if you say you're the best rapper alive, I hate to be redundant, but you have to rap. Best rapper alive, prove it with bars, not fists. Please give Young Kodak Black some of those smooth sounds and the hammer tones, please. You are the donkey of the day.

You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw, the day, hee-haw. All right. I really shouldn't even have to tell anybody that, by the way. No. I really shouldn't, but common sense is not so common. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. I'm going to F y'all name up, so I'm just going to tell you how this is immediately. How can you F up Carmen Perez? I got Tameka Mallory. I got Carmen Perez.

Linda Sarsour. There you go. That's good. Linda Sarsour. Don't act like you know me. What you was going to say? What you was going to say? Sarsour?

Yeah. He finally was going to say that. I was going to say Sarsour. Good morning, ladies. Good morning ladies Good morning We sound like the chorus Now the Women's March on Washington What is it and what is it about?

Well the Women's March on Washington Was announced right after the election The day after the election By a woman in Hawaii A grandmother, retired grandmother Who sent an invitation to 40 of her friends saying that she wanted to march. And 10,000 people responded to her invitation.

Wow. By the time we received the call, because the event was basically announced by white women, and by the time they called us to ask women of color to get involved and to help really set the tone and agenda for this effort, it was up to about 100,000 people. At this point, we're at about 245,000 people who are interested in gumming or registered at some place or some, you know, some forum. And so the purpose of the march is really to ensure that this incoming administration, as well as our Senate, our Congress, and everyone else knows that women's

rights are human rights and they won't be rolled back. I mean, we're going to Washington to really deal with the racism, sexism, misogyny, and all the different issues, the isms that have oppressed people for a long time before Donald Trump even became a thing. And so many will gather, but it's not just women, it's families, the entire family, because you know the woman holds the entire family on our back. Why are they trying to paint it as an anti-Trump demonstration? Well, because people are not necessarily sophisticated in their political understanding. I mean, we particularly you had us here when we marched from New York City to Washington, D.C.

So we've been protesting a long time. We would have been going to Washington. Trump, no Trump, Hillary Clinton. It didn't matter to us. And so, you know, a lot of people just and a lot of people should be concerned about Donald Trump. He is an issue. Absolutely. But there's many there are other people and other elements that need to be addressed. And there's also a saying in Kingian nonviolence and the

ideology of Dr. King that says attack the forces of evil, not people doing evil. And so it's beyond Trump, right? It's the fact that in this country, in the fabric of this country, there's racism, there's sexism. And so we need to look beyond Trump, obviously address him, let him know that we're watching him, but also know that we have to deal with the systemic racism and all the stuff that comes with it. And Trump is a narcissist, right?

The brother wants us to say it's about him and it ain't about him. And I think what we're trying to, the tone we're setting for people is that this ain't always about what we're against. We're always against racism. We're always against police brutality. We're always against segregation. But we're trying to tell people it's time to say what you're for. What do you stand for? What do you value? What do you stand for? What are the solutions?

What kind of world do you envision versus we're always trying to survive, but it's time that we start talking about how we thrive in this country and that's what we're hoping the tone that we said is. It's right after Inauguration Day. Oh, the next day, the first day. And also my birthday. Happy early morning. Are you, I don't want to say afraid, afraid is not

the right word. Are you concerned that it's the day after the election? I'm sure there'll be a lot of Trump supporters. Inauguration. I'm sure there'll be a lot of Trump supporters still in D.C. Yeah, no, I mean, we don't get tired, we don't get tired. We don't get afraid. I mean, you know, our brother, my son, Lennon, marched with us from New York City to Washington, D.C.

And on the road, you could, you know, there was all kinds of stuff happening. People, KKK, yelling at us, blowing smoke back in our face in cars, calling us all types of N-words and what have you. We're used to that. We deal with this all the time. Now, there are some people who are really concerned. Is it going to be security? Do we got bike racks? You got porta-potties?

You got a permit? All those things. And we are making sure that this event is properly secured. It's interesting because we were talking behind the scenes about overt racism, and have you ever experienced that? And I know I said I have. I mean, you said you've never really experienced it. I haven't.

I'm sure I've experienced covertly, but I've never had a white man call me a n***a to my face or anything to that nature. Right. But I think we have to get to the point where hearing them say it about someone else means it's overt. Right. So we feel it. And that's what this is about. This is about the fact that we have to respect one another's

justices. So for some people, it's reproductive justice. Right. But for others, it's racial justice. And we're going to Washington, D.C. in solidarity with women. A lot of them have never marched anywhere before in their lives. And if you read our Facebook page, you'll see all these women talking about, I didn't even know that racism existed. I thought we had gotten past it. And they really believe this, but they are now beginning to see that there are some serious issues. And I'm excited that this particular convening is opening the eyes of folks who have never, ever paid attention to these issues before.

And it's historical. It's the first time in any president's history for this type of mass mobilization to happen on their first day of office. How do y'all respond, though? You mentioned the KKK was blowing smoke and people were throwing things. How do you guys respond to that when y'all... Martin and Malcolm. It's a combination of both. Okay. Yeah. Some of us don't do Martin.

I can't see my son being the Martin. We have to dispel the myth. No, all the way down. My son is UEP. We have to dispel the myth that Martin was soft. Right. Because Martin was radical and it's the reason why he was assassinated. He was moving towards something. The poor man march.

The poor people's campaign. But certainly the way in which we respond is that we show something different. Obviously, you see us here. We are three women of color representing the targets of Donald Trump. I'm Mexican-American. Linda Sarsour is Palestinian from Brooklyn. here we are three women of color representing the the targets of donald trump right i'm mexican american linda sarsour is palestinian from brooklyn obviously you know tamika she's she's african american and so like we go out and we see our liberation bound in one another and so we're gonna fight for that no matter what and we're gonna show people that they could do the same

and create entry points and so when we say that there are women here who have never been, who have never marched or have never participated in protests, there's an opportunity here. And that's what we're trying to do is give them direction. So it's not really necessarily about January 21st. Yes, we want people there. We need them there. We need to show critical resistance through numbers.

But we also want people to go back to their communities and to organize and to tap into communities and to actually do something. So we're trying to ignite a spark that will continue beyond January 21st. We have more with Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez, and Linda Saucer coming up next on The Breakfast Club.

I'm falling. Peace to the planet. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee. I go by the name of Charlamagne Tha God with the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. We have Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez, and Linda Saucer in the building. There's a big women's march on Washington coming up this Saturday. Are you shocked that you're receiving some pushback?

Like, I even saw a woman write an article. And she said, I think her name was, I can't pronounce her name. It was like Shikha Dalmia or something. But she said that the march has already failed because it's a feel good exercise in search of a cause. And it fizzles and fails at doing that. But every time I read about it, I understand what the cause is. I mean, the issue is, and we've had critics. I mean, that's what happens.

If you don't have critics, you're not doing the right thing. And people got to be in the organizing to know who the people are that are behind this. There are people here we've gotten arrested in civil disobedience. We understand intersectionality. I'm Muslim to your point about discrimination. There are people in our country who get attacked on the streets of their own community just for the virtue of who they are. We deport a thousand immigrants every single day in this country. So people are at what kind of feel good exercise. We're doing mass mobilization. We are people with full time jobs who have dedicated every

extra hour in our lives. Some of us got kids that we got to take care of and we're out here talking about protecting our communities. We're standing out here saying and sending a strong message that nobody's going to ignore when you see the amount of people out there that we're watching you but we're also going to defend our communities by any means

necessary. So I don't understand where people come up with these things and sometimes people want to ride our coattails like you. Women's March on Washington. There's a lot of media out there. So if you want to get trending, you want to say something about the march. But you haven't even reached out to us. You want to have a conversation about feel good exercise and you think that's what it is. Let's have a conversation.

Our emails are public. Our phone numbers are public. We are public people. We are on Twitter. We are public people. We are on Twitter. We are on Facebook. So it bothers me sometimes that people are creating these opinions without actually having the real conversations and the courageous conversations that we need to have. I was going to ask, how do you fund your beliefs? Because, I mean, like you said, it costs money to do this. Yeah.

So people who can't be at the march, how can they support the cause financially? So I'm the head of fundraising. What do you have? You got like money to pull girl from Brooklyn head of fundraising. Look, this costs money. Freedom ain't free in this country. If you want to fight for your rights in this country, you got to pay. And it's either you pay now or you're going to pay later and it's not going to be pretty.

You go to thewomansmarch.com and you donate there. You have to understand, again, once again, we have full-time jobs here. We got families and we are putting everything that we can to make sure people feel safe when they get there. Handicap accessible porta-potties, a stage. If you're 12 blocks down, you got to hear

what's happening at the rally. There's no point of you coming all the way out there. Jumbotrons, security, insurance. This is a mass operation. So we need money. We need to raise money. And we've been fortunate that people have supported us

and we've been working with organizations that have come through for us, including Planned Parenthood, NRDC, which is a climate justice organization. We've had individual donors, women of color donors.

Yeah, Labor has come through for us. So womensmarch.com, donate to us, believe in us and believe in our vision and to know that we are centering the most marginalized communities and you are investing in the leadership of not just women, but women of color. The time is now for us to get our due credit

for the work and the shoulders of the giants that we stand on. We're not the first people to do a march. We know that. We are carrying on a legacy, and we hope people see this because it is a historic, like, we know we're making history. Like, that's why we're invested in this. I mean, it's interesting.

I feel like it would have been powerful regardless of who won the election. Because even if it was Hillary, y'all still would have had to mobilize and say, look, we're not comfortable just because we got a woman. I wasn't on that team anyway, brother. I don't think any of us were on that team. And you know what?

We absolutely would have had to now. Would these same women have been involved? Not sure. Probably would have been us out here. So sometimes God will take what is bad and make it good. And so when we look at Donald Trump, that is like, I mean, for some people, it's such a shock. For us, it's the reality that we live in and exist in all the time. But it's probably a good thing for some folks that this is actually waking them up

and forcing them to come to the table because they're afraid. And everyone has a different entry point. We've been asking white women, where have you been? Where were you when Sandra Bland was killed? Where were you for Trayvon Martin? Where were you?

And the list goes on. Eric Garner, all the names. But we're glad that you're here now. And now you actually need to kind of be quiet and listen and learn and they're not having the easiest time dealing with that but there are some who are willing to be like real

allies they're at the table and they really really want to be engaged but it's not just them for the purpose of this show our own people need to get up off of our asses like it's we also because we have to be in the front of our issues. And we want other people to be pushing us from behind. How different are white women's rights versus women of color?

Well, I mean, certainly that has been the topic of conversation. White feminism, white feminism, black feminism, and, you know, and when you look at reproductive rights, you know, that's a big issue, which black women care about reproductive rights as well. But we're like, OK, I have a reproductive rights issue and then I also can't get a job. And then my husband is mass incarcerated and all of that. So for them, they are dealing with many of the symptoms of sort of the cancer, the sickness that we're dealing with every day. So they got like the arm hurting, you know, they got a headache, but we're dealing with like the whole body is dying. And so the intersectionality piece is important.

And again, having everyone come together to respect one another's justice, what it is that we're fighting for is what this whole effort is about. But also show up for one another, right? Like a lot of us, I know Linda and myself show up for Black Lives Matter, also Palestinian rights. And my family's personally impacted by incarceration. So for me, that's what I've dedicated the last 20 years in. And so to actually be part of this march and reach out on my own, I'm responsible for partnerships.

And so a lot of the people that I'm talking to. Yeah. Seriously. Turn that phone off. That's right. I'm responsible for partnerships for this march. And so I'm speaking to people that I haven't necessarily built with. And so it's a learning opportunity.

I'm talking, you know, how are we really being intentional about being intersectional? Because we can't cover every issue on stage, right? We're not going to be able to. No, but to your point about the issues, this is an education process. We're pushing a conversation that people don't want to have. So people say, oh, pay equity. We got to get paid the same as men. They say pay equality.

And then you say pay equity. Yeah, but no, I say pay equity. But what we say to them is that's true. Women don't get paid the same as men. But let's look at how much black women and Hispanic women, which is even less than white women, even reproductive rights. Let's say they close down Planned Parenthood, right? A white woman can still find a way to pay and go get an abortion somewhere in a private clinic.

But low income women, immigrant women, if they don't got a Planned Parenthood type situation, they're not going to be able to get the access to the health care that they need. So we're pushing the conversation further. Also, you know, about to be deported. You ain't really thinking about all that other stuff again. Like when it compared to white women and women of color, there's so many layers to our struggle, right? And there was something so profound.

I work for Harry Belafonte, so we stand on the shoulders of giants. And he said, you know, white women live in their privilege where women of color survive in their struggle. And that was deep for me because oftentimes, you know, when I'm, like, in these spaces, whether it whether it's like planning a march from New York City to D.C. or you're trying to build intergenerational relationships, I go back to him and I'm like, I need some guidance.

And so he breaks it down for me where I didn't even think about it because sometimes we could get caught up in our ego. But this this march for me, we've prepared for this moment. All of us have 20 years of experience in movement building, criminal justice, police accountability. My patient is still being tested, sister. I know. Yeah, but it's preparedness for this moment to actually lead in this space. And again,

like, the fact that we also have our elders that are supporting us in this space. Mr. Belafonte being a part of the original March on Washington, cultivating the leadership of young women to actually lead in this moment is huge. That is legacy. That is the passing of the baton. And so we also have other honorary coaches like Gloria Steiner

and Dolores Huerta just came on board yesterday. But again, you know, this is a moment that we're trying to ensure that we give people direction. We have more with Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez, this is a moment that we're trying to ensure that we give people direction We have more with Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez and Linda Saucer coming up next on The Breakfast Club The Breakfast Club Hey, what's happening? Top of the morning to everybody out there It's the world's most dangerous morning

show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God here We got Tamika Mallory, Carmen Perez and Linda Saucer in the building. There's a big Women's March on Washington coming up this Saturday. Now, Ye? I remember going to the Million Man March and feeling like it was really powerful. Do you feel like men are supporting? Oh, yeah. Actually, we have the whole family coming out.

I mean, I've been receiving e-mails every day where it's like my great grandmother, my grandmother, my husband, my son, and the newborn baby are all going to the Women's March on Washington. So, yeah, the whole family is a part of this. And, I mean, you know, we have men who are involved. Our attorneys are both men, just so happy. Little Ting Ting is a woman. My son is dealing with security. So, we have a lot of men who are involved In helping us and we appreciate you all Bringing us on this platform because some of the

Information that's out there as you said is not The right information it's not correct There's a lot of misinformation It's not anti-Trump and we need to get a message Across now I'm anti-Trump Me personally But the point of the march is not The march isn't but to your point

You know I've been doing this work for 20 years. I've been separated from my family since I was young. My family lives in Southern California. I went to UC Santa Cruz, left. I had a sister killed, buried on my birthday. So my birthday doing this march is huge. It's a distraction so I could actually celebrate. But I got a call from my older brother who's bringing his family.

And they've never, and it's not a knock on my family, is, you know, they don't really know what you do. Criminal justice, you're going into prisons, you're going to El Salvador to support a peace process between gang members. Like, what do you do, right? And so when I got the call, I wasn't able to go home for Christmas or Thanksgiving

because of this march, but he's like, I'm coming to you and I'm bringing my family. And that, to me, is the world. Like, the fact my older brother, who, again, they don't understand what you do. I don't think any of our family members, they just know we're gone, we're always gone, we don't got time.

But men are showing up, and they've been showing up. And so, like, when you see people like my son setting things up like this for us, it's the support and love that he has for us. But the fact that, you know, a lot of there was a lot of question, is this also an anti-man? Yeah, we shut we shut that down. This is not this is not like typical traditional, like white feminism, like bra burning, like, hey, man, like, yeah, we have men in our lives. We got partners. We got you. We got sons like we hate men. Like we have men in our lives. We got partners. We got, you know, we got sons. Like we're not allowing this.

That's part of black feminism and Chicana feminism is that we were struggling with our brothers, right? Where in fact, white women had access to white men, their white husbands, their white fathers, their white sons, where we were like, yo, we trying to get the same boat with you. We're still trying to gain things with you. We got to elevate you because we know you're going to

pull us up too. We have the men supporters, but I had five emails and there was this one brother that wrote a Huffington Post piece talking about you got to change the name of the march from the Women's March on Washington to the People's March, you know, white man and these other four guys. I looked them up on social media because I didn't want to stereotype, but of course they were all white guys too.

And I was like, no. I was like, you got to be okay with a woman-led march. If you ain't okay with that, then you're just not invited. I'm not changing the name of the march for you. That's just not happening. That's it. I never understand why people get upset when you embrace your struggle. You embrace what you are.

I'm not black. I show up to a Black Lives Matter protest or I'm in a movement. I'm not like, please make that all lives Like, I'm not black. I show up to a Black Lives Matter protest or I'm in a movement. I'm not like, please make that all lives matter so I can feel comfortable. If you ain't down with black lives, don't come to the table.

If you support women, then go to the women's office. That's it. Like, what's the problem? Why everything gotta be... Because, you know, at the end of the day, you know we gonna deal

with your issues anyway. Like, it's not like we just are going to Washington to talk about issues that relate to somebody who has a vagina. We also are dealing with, like, my 17 we just are going to Washington to talk about issues that relate to somebody who has a vagina. We also are dealing with like my 17 year old black son. His issues when he leaves the house.

I'm not sure. You got a 17 year old black son? I do. You look 17. His name is Tariq. She cute. She cute. I got a 17 year old son too.

I got a 17 year old son. And I don't know if he's going to get shot by a Ray Ray or a police officer. So I'm dealing with that as well. When I go to Washington, I want to know why there's not more resources going to anti-violence groups like Erica Ford, A.T. Mitchell, those who are working in the belly of the hood. And then I also want to know why police officers are not being held

accountable for killing black men and young women. I need to understand both issues and I can hold both those things at the same time. There you go. I just like the fact that, you know, it's a lot of togetherness. Like it's, you know, it just like the fact that, you know, it's a lot of togetherness. Like, you know, it's y'all three,

then you say it's a lot of white women involved. Because I always think of the scripture of Ephesians 6.12. I really feel like that's where we're at right now. Our struggle's not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers and the authorities and the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil. I feel like we're in a real...

That's profound. Deep. Deep. I feel like we're in a real dark place right now. We all need to be together. Like good need to be with good, the right against evil. So we also have a co-chair, another co-chair. There's four of us that are co-chairs.

One is the founder, Bob Lantz. She's a white woman. And so she's, you know, also working with us. We have a national committee, national organizing committee that's made up of all different ethnic backgrounds. And so, you know, I just got to give a shout out to my partner, Paola Mendoza. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I have my

executive assistants in Singapore. So, like, you know, we have people that are just supporting from everywhere. Tell the people how they can get involved if they want to get involved. Women'sMarch.com, Women's March on Washington on Facebook, Women's March on Twitter. You know, our emails are all our first names

at Women'sMarch.com. Like, we made it easy. Like, you got no reason to not know how to be involved in this march. You know, our social media is every day. It's updated. There's posts. We give reading lists.

We're giving you recommended readings. Like, we really have been super intentional about how we're organizing and how you can get involved. Again, Women you recommended readings. We really have been super intentional about how we're organizing and how you can get involved. Again, womensmarch.com. If you got a bus coming, y'all better register that bus because you ain't going to have parking when you get to Washington, D.C. if you don't tell us you got a bus. That's mad important.

That's like the drama, brother. I don't know how you're going to park all those buses. That's like the buses. The buses and the port-a-potty. Those are the drama. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine.

I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.
