He's dressed like Mario Brothers. We're all in costume. Well, not drum. Normal day for drum. But me and Envy are in costume.

Oh, okay. I'm in Atlanta, so I can't see you guys. You sound muffled, though, Envy. I didn't know if it was my headphones. Yes, I can see. I'm looking at you. Okay. Yeah, you're going to have to take that off. You can't do the whole show like this. You look the same.

I still got the same amount of hair. Mario! Hey, Easy! Oh, hey, DJ Envy. You're going to have to take that off. You can't do the whole show like this. They look the same. I still got the same amount of hair. No, okay. Mario. Hey, EZ. Oh, hey, DJ Envy. Mario. Hey, guys. Happy Halloween.

What are you, Dramos? Yourself? He's definitely himself. He said you what? What? I have an afro in real life? Put your lips on the microphone. You have an afro on? Since when do I have an afro in real life?

How am I myself? You always wear a hat. We don't know what you got on under that hat. This sounds like cultural appropriation. There you go. Well, happy Halloween, everybody. Yes, Halloween. Halloween is fun, man.

I don't know about the day in New York City. It's rainy. It's nasty. You know? Yeah. Who's joining us today? Because usually we have paperwork here. And I only have four figures.

Beto O'Rourke is here this morning. Beto O'Rourke. Beto O'Rourke. 2020 presidential candidate. He finally decided to pull up on the Breakfast Club even though his numbers are in the toilet.

Yeah. But he'll be here this morning. A little too late. I don't know if it's that late. Damn. He's still in the race. Okay, all right. For now.

He hasn't qualified for the next debate, though. Now, you was out in Atlanta, right? Yes, I'm in Atlanta right now. I'm on my lip service tour. So yesterday we had the tour here at the Buckhead Theater. It was pretty amazing. Johnny Blaze started it.

And then Tokyo Jets came out. You know, she had a baby like a month and a half ago. So it was nice to see her. She was pretty funny. She got a chance to express herself. She actually did our lip service live in New York with T.I. And it was Trey the Truth was there. It was all of them, right, from Hustle Gang. She didn't get a chance to talk so much with all.I. and it was Trey the Truth was there. It was all of them, right?

From Hustle Gang. She didn't get a chance to talk so much with all the guys there. So this time she had a chance to really say a lot of funny things. And then Trouble hit the stage and YFN Lucci and it was Mayhem. Okay. But yeah, it's fun. We're having really great conversations. Hey, salute to

Osei and Armani too. They've been up here two days in a row. They just got to learn. I know they're listening right now. Let me explain something. Charlamagne and I, no lie, we come at... We're supposed to be here at 6 a.m. So you see us at 5.57, 5.58.

We can't really talk. I can't build with you right now. I can't talk. I understand that you're excited and you got ambition and you want to be heard, but we got jobs to do, too. Yeah, I'm sorry. He wanted to talk, but I'm like, bro, if I talk to you, I'm going to be late. This morning, they had a young lady with her, and she was like, Charlamagne, if you don't like the song, can you smash the pie in their face?

I'm like, what? She said that to me, too. I was like, can you just smash it in their face? I'm like, no. I'm like, I got to go. Maybe if y'all sign a waiver or something that says if I smash you in the face with a pie too hard and you get hurt, I'm not liable for it. Don't tell them that,

because then they'll come to me with a waiver. No, it's the truth, though. No. I don't trust people nowadays like that. You smash them in the face with a pie and you hurt them, and the next thing you know, they suing you. Well, I was a DJ envy. I was Mario this morning,

so I couldn't talk to them anymore. They didn't know it was you? I didn't have the helmet on, man. I'd have fell in the street. Oh, God. Let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Man, since we're talking about numbers,

let's talk about Kamala Harris and her campaign. She had to do some restructuring. We'll tell you what's going on. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Radio.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page newse, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now, congratulations to the Nationals. They beat the Houston Astros. They won the World Series last night.

Oh, wow. Congratulations to them. Okay, salute to Washington, even though we're not syndicated anywhere in Washington. Mm-mm. Salute to y'all. And the NFL tonight, the 49ers take on the Cardinals. Now, what are we talking about, Yee? Oh, well, let's talk about Kamala Harris.

She has cut her staff, and she's restructuring her presidential campaign by actually running low on cash. So she's lacking those resources to have a great competitive bid against her rivals. They have a lot more money than she does. So there will be some layoffs and some transfers that will affect her headquarters and her operations in New Hampshire, Nevada, and her home state of California. I still like Senator Harris. I think she is more than qualified for the position. It's a shame that y'all have let her prosecutor pass hinder y'all from really taking her serious. Especially since Joe Biden is leading amongst black people when the reality is nobody on that side has gotten more black and brown people locked up than Joe Biden. That's just the truth to the matter. Between the 88 crack

laws and the 94 crime bill, nobody has gotten more black and brown people locked up than Joe Biden. Alright, and former President Barack Obama was at an Obama Foundation event yesterday and he was talking about social media and here's what he said about the cancel culture.

This idea of purity and you're never compromised and you're always politically woke and all that stuff you should get over that quickly people who do really good stuff have flaws like if i tweet or hashtag about how you didn't do something right or use the word wrong verb, then I can sit back and feel pretty good about myself because, man, you see how woke I was? I called you out. That's not activism. That's not bringing about change.

Jesus Christ, have we been not saying that for years? God damn. Yeah, people think they can go on social media, do a hashtag, and they're an activist. And not only that, but it's just that a lot of these woke people, they need some goddamn sleep because they're so tired. And not only that, but it's just that a lot of these woke people, they need some goddamn sleep because they're so tired. Like, nobody is perfect. People have flaws. People have made

mistakes, past, present, and future. That's why I don't trust anybody who tries to portray this picture of perfection all the time. They are lying to you and deceiving you. Alright, now yesterday we told you about this convicted rapist who was released from prison by accident. Well, he has been captured.

And he was captured more than 600 miles away from where he actually was released by accident. Oh, he got far. His name is Tony Macon Munez Mendez. He was captured in Fort Thomas, Kentucky after being released from the Georgia Department of Corrections. How did he get caught? Was he recognized? Did he make a phone call? Well, yeah.

It just says that they had everybody looking for him. So he was captured by the GDC Fugitive Unit, U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force, and ICE. Okay. So they all came together and managed to get him. And you know, today is Halloween, and I just want to do another update. Remember I was telling you guys about that haunted house

where you have to do a whole entire, you know, just sign a waiver. They got to sign your life away, right. Mm-hmm. Well, they are now trying to shut that haunted house down because they're saying it's a sadistic torture chamber. You have to agree to get your tooth pulled, finger broken, head shaved. Who would do that? Tattoos. And you get nothing out of it?

Like, you don't win anything if you finish? Yeah, you get money. How much? The owner's giving away money. I think it was like $25,000 or something like that. I wonder if that's illegal, though, because it don't sound illegal

because you're giving people a choice. Yeah, and you have to sign a waiver. That's what I'm saying. I think when you take away somebody's power of choice, then that's when it becomes criminal. But if you're giving them a choice and they're signing a waiver,

how is it torture? Yeah, but it's not criminal, but they're just trying to shut it down. They're saying it's sadistic and so that's all. They're saving people from themselves because they know people are stupid as hell in 2019 and they will sign up and do that dumb... Yeah, pretty much.

Alright, well that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag.

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 owned country. My forefathers did that themselves.

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.

Get off your chest. Hey, DJ, I just want to apologize to you, man. I called in about two months ago and I asked you why you play the same music every morning.

And you say that you don't play the music. That's he lied to you. No, that's not true. No, hold on, Ali. Hold on, hold on, hold on. DJ, the reason I say I apologize, when you was on vacation last week, they played the same music and you was on vacation. It's because, it's called programming, sir.

He programmed the music before he left. I do not program the music. I'm not a program director. And I accept your apology, sir. That is a damn lie. Don't let him lie to you, bro. I accept your apology. He still does the mix.

which I may remember me. Y'all fake interviewed me in regards to the girl who had her hair cut off oh yes okay so yeah yeah um but no i wanted to raise these to you charlamagne i wanted to thank you um for always spreading the word on mental health um i am a teacher i did mention that before um i leave very early in the morning get back very late. And so this season really, like, hurts teachers in certain ways. And I want parents to be aware that we teachers put in a lot of work. They call us every day complaining and stuff.

And it's really stressful being a teacher, especially during this time of year. So, like, just thank you so much, Charlemagne, for spreading that positivity in regards to mental health, making it something to discuss because for a very long time, people did not discuss mental health, especially within our community. That's love. And just talking about it has made me more aware of the things that I need to focus on when it comes to my mental health as well.

So last year, as a first-year teacher, I was very unaware and very just stressed out. And this year, being more aware of this mental health crisis and how I'm affected has helped me become a better teacher, just even for my students and just a better person for myself. So I just really want to thank you, Charlamagne, for always speaking on mental health and better people in our community. That's love, boo. Keep investing in your mental wealth. Yes, yes, yes.

And I know I'm always rambling, not letting y'all talk, but I'm about to be trying on this joint. I'm about to get this done when y'all allow me to just call and call and call in and just talk my... I'm not even gonna curse because I don't want to be banned, but I'm about to be the tribe, the female tribe gonna curse because I don't want to be banned, but I'm about to be a tribe, a female tribe

real soon. Y'all gonna hear me more often. I really listen to y'all every day. I love y'all. Y'all get me through in the morning, getting up four in the morning, driving two hours to work. I appreciate y'all, OD. I know my coworkers are listening to this. They're gonna be asking if that was me on the radio.

Thank you for calling in. And you have a great day at work. You too. I enjoy your Halloween and enjoy the rest of y'all week. All right, you too now. Later. All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. I should have wore a cup. I didn't wear the cup. I should have wore the cup with the spandex.

Nobody cares about your little poke. Morning, everybody. Happy Halloween. You noticed, though. I am Mario this morning. Charlemagne is the man with the little poke. No, I am, you know, if you ever seen Avengers Endgame when they had the quantum suit on. Drom, stop shaking your head.

It's the highest grossing movie of all time. You're just a dumb little douche, Drom. Listen, but Avengers Endgame You know in the Endgame When they went back in time To get the Infinity Stones Everybody wore quantum suits So that's what I have on right now

I have a quantum suit on Because we are in the Endgame now Where's your mask? There is no mask Y'all never seen Endgame? No Yeah but it's the highest grossing movie of all time So a lot of people did

So they know what I'm talking about Yes I mean Drom That's your generation Your generation You know things just because They don't know about it Highest grossing movie of all time. So a lot of people did, so they know what I'm talking about. Yes. I mean, John, that's your generation. Your generation thinks just because they don't know about it, nobody does. Even though it's the highest grossing movie of all time. Even though you're dressed like your dad. Let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk Niecy Nash. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Man, so after eight years of marriage, Niecy Nash and her husband, Jay Tucker, are parting ways. She said they're better friends than partners in marriage. And they both posted, we believe in the beauty of truth. Always have.

Our truth is that in this season of our lives, we are better friends than partners in marriage. Our union was such a gorgeous ride. And as we go our separate ways now, we feel fortunate for the love we share. Present tense. Thank you all out there for your support of us. As a couple over the last eight years, we are grateful. That's very important because I would think that, you know, your partner in marriage should be your best friend. If it's not like that, that could cause some problems.

Well, Nisi Nash was on The Breakfast Club previously and happily married at the time. Here's what she had said. I got married when I was really young. Right. And you know the same thing you want at 20. It don't shake out sometimes the same way once you're 30 and 40. You know what I mean? You're like, I was a child.

I'm grown now. You want to live a little bit. Well, no, I didn't. I wanted to just be married again right away just to a different guy. Really? I love being married. So that means you'll be getting married again soon. Yeah.

We'll see. All right. Well, you got to do what you got to do. If it's not working, it's not working. Yo, this Mario suit is hot as hell. I was going to tell you about that. Yeah, I'm not going to lie. This band-aid.

I'm sitting here thinking to myself like, damn, what time do we get out here today? It's freezing in here in Atlanta. Now, Jareezy and Jacquees, it looks like they're going through some things. He had posted on Twitter, you can't make me feel bad for decisions you made. And then she said, when I air your ish out on this app, don't say ish. I don't

know what happened, but they have been a cute couple for a while. I ran into them together in LA. They had the dog with them and everything everything so i don't know if they're just going through something but maybe they'll work it out who knows all right now insecure star isa ray she's teaming up with hbo max and she's doing a comedy series based on the miami hip-hop scene it's called rap ish and the series was announced as part of a new female produced comedies for the subscription based service. So they're doing other things as well. But

shout out to Issa Rae. She has the Black Lady Sketch Show. Have you guys watched that? I have seen the Black Lady Sketch Show. Okay. What'd you think? It was cool. I mean, I didn't watch every episode, but I caught a few episodes. Yeah. So she's got a lot of things happening. So shout out to Issa Rae and everything she has going on.

I hope she keeps it authentic with that Miami, Florida show and she has actual people from Miami who can help guide her through that situation. I'm sure. I would pray so. I would hope so, yeah. Yeah. All right, now Conor McGregor.

He was asked if he could fight anybody. It doesn't have to be another fighter. It could be a celebrity. Who would he want to fight? And this was his response. I'd have to probably say 50 Cent. I'd like to fight him. Throughout the course of the Mayweather build-up,

I used him as a tool. I knew he was linked to Floyd, so I tied him into a situation, and he responded big time, and we capitalized on that audience, so I was very happy with that and thankful. But then, after that, he began a little tirade against me on social media

where he'd make these memes about me constantly, and I wrote, old man on the Internet making memes, and then he blocked me. All right. Would you want to see that fight? No. I'm jumping, Connor. That's not fair. We're jumping, Connor, if I'm with 50.

You got to jump him. If I see Connor with 50, I've seen how Connor and his crew get down. Yeah, you got to jump him. We're jumping Conor. That's not fair. We're jumping Conor if I'm with 50. You got to jump him. If I see Conor with 50, I've seen how Conor and his crew get down. Yeah, you got to jump him. We're jumping Conor. Absolutely. Well, that was an honest answer. I guess he was just so mad when that all happened, he wanted to fight him if he could. Yeah, we're jumping.

All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. We're going to fight at the ball place. No, I'm not lying. I'm not even jumping Conor. Why not? I'm telling the white man in the suit to shoot. Them dudes, them MMA, UFC guys different. Why not? I'm telling the white man in the suit to shoot. Them dudes can't. Listen, them MMA, UFC guys different.

You got to shoot them in the leg. Oh, you got to. Yeah. All right. You got to. White man in the suit, shoot him. All right. Now we got front page news.

Next, what are we talking about? Yes, we'll talk about Facebook and Instagram. Your account can be flagged or removed if you post certain things like certain emojis. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. I'm Mario. Happy Halloween.

Is there such thing as a good Halloween costume that's comfortable? No, because I'm hot right now. It's like all the good costumes are not comfortable. Like I got on this guanam suit from Avengers Endgame and I can't even type. Every time I want to type something, I got to take my hands out. I can't even really sit. Like, I got to sit like this.

Man, how do you whores do it? Alright, let me take this mask off because this is uncomfortable. Hold on. It also doesn't sound good, Envy. Come on. Oh, I don't know. Well, let's get into some front page news. Last night, Washington beat the Houston. Sorry, Houston.

You beat my Yankees. So that's what happens. That sucks when the team that beats your team goes to the championship game and loses. At least you want them to win, right? At least you can say you got beat by the eventual champs. Well, I love Houston. I wanted Houston to win, man. I always have a great time anytime I'm in Houston.

And we're syndicated in Houston. We are syndicated in Houston. 93-7 to beat, man. I always have a great time anytime I'm in Houston. And we're syndicated in Houston. We are syndicated in Houston. 93-7 to beat. That's right. Tonight in Thursday Night Football, the 49ers take on the Cardinals. All right. You know, Steph Curry broke his left hand. Congratulations.

During his game against the Phoenix Suns, so we don't know how long he's going to be out. I'm going to be honest with you. Steph needed to sit out this season. Yeah, there was no reason for him to play this season. They were going to lose anyway. Yeah. They didn't have nobody. Well, no, no reason for him to play this season. They were going to lose anyway. Yeah. They didn't have nobody. No, no, they got a lot.

They got D'Angelo Russell. And they got Draymond Green. But Klay is supposed to be out for the season. Like, I don't know. God knows what he's doing. Sit Steph down for a little while. Wow. All right.

And in Chicago, you know, the teachers were on strike. And they scheduled a meeting of members Wednesday that could lead to the suspension of a strike. Classes have been canceled for 10 days. But now they also want to make sure that they get makeup days before they end the strike. They want to bring a potential agreement and demand that the city schools also. Did you put your mask back on? No. Mask on.

No. Mask off. Mask off. No. Mask off. Mask off. Hello. All right. I'll take it. Go ahead. Take it.

Come on, Envy. I can't see you, but it sounds crazy. I'm a character. Go ahead. Mario. All right. Now, Barack Obama was speaking at one of his own events. It was for his Obama Foundation, and he was talking about the toxic cancel culture that

we have and not allowing room for people to make mistakes because we're all not perfect. Here's what he said. This idea of purity and you're never compromised and you're always politically woke and all that stuff. You should get over that quickly. People who do really good stuff have flaws. Like if I tweet or hashtag about how you didn't do something right or use the word wrong verb then i can sit back and feel pretty good about myself because man you see how woke i was i called you out that's not activism that's not bringing about change yeah not only is it not activism i always say you woke folks need some sleep because y'all so tired, but I come from the era where we used to applaud

growth, we used to applaud evolution, you know what I'm saying? If you made mistakes in your past, if you was a certain way in your past, when you made that transformation and you evolved and everybody saw it, we would applaud it. Right. Now, it's like You're finished! Yeah, you don't even care, like, oh, you did that back in the day, okay, let's destroy you now. Right. That makes

zero sense to me. I agree. All right, now, Facebook and Instagram, your account can now be removed if you use any sexually suggestive emojis. So no more eggplants or peaches or anything like that? First of all, why can't an eggplant just be an eggplant? Like, you want some eggplant parmesan? That doesn't mean you want some penis parmesan. Well, as a person with a regular-sized penis, I'm offended by the eggplant emoji, so they can get rid of that. All right, the peach emoji as well.

If you post those with sexual statements, they said, now that is considered sexual solicitation. It can be grounds for your account to be flagged or removed. And it doesn't say particularly which emojis it'll be, but the policy says that commonly used sexual emojis or emoji strings will be monitored. So you mean to tell me those fruit and vegetable emojis got to suffer because people's minds are in the gutter? Yes. I might really want an eggplant. I might want some eggplant parmesan.

I really might want some peach cobbler. So if I send those symbols, that don't mean I'm talking about anything else. Get your mind out the gutter, people. I'm sure you want an eggplant with that eye, with them spandex on today, bro. Don't talk to me like that. You got one hand covering your eye and you talking to me, whispering, leaning your head into me. Don't do that. So if somebody says, hey, I would like to eat a peach.

What is that? That means they want to eat a peach. Right. So how are they going to decide and determine that? Because people's minds in the gutter, so they think the worth of everything. That's right. They also said that nude photos where the suggestive areas are covered with emojis are now

banned as well and other sexually related content. What about actual nude pictures and pornographic stuff that people be posting on Facebook?

You can't have that on Instagram. See, that's bullcrap because Kim Kardashian posted naked pictures before where you seen her nipples. I flagged it 32,000

times because I didn't think it was right that she can do it and nobody else can do it and her pictures are still up there. So they would take yours down? I don't have none on my Instagram.

You a whole rat. What's not right? She can post pictures of her nipples and it's cool and anybody else do it, they take it down immediately? Well, Kanye, thanks for your service, you rat. Alright, also, you know how people have the OnlyFans or JustForFans pages where you can go and it's kind of like you can

sex chat with them and see them. Well, if you put those in your post or on your bio, they'll also get that removed too. FYI. What is sex chat? You know, you never seen like people have OnlyFans accounts where you can go and take it

onto their and they get paid from their fans and a lot of times. I see fan pages, but not sex fan pages. What the hell is that? Alright, guys. You guys should listen to Lip Service sometimes. But you can make money. You get to interact with your fans. It's like you're on

the live stream interacting with people and it's very sexual at times for people. Alright, well that is your front page news. I feel so stupid in all this spandex, man. Why do you feel so stupid in spandex?

I'm a little too thick for spandex. I don't know how you strippers do it. I'm being honest with you. Are you dropping And I didn't feel

this thick when I wore the Black Panther spandex a couple years ago, but in this quantum, this end games, I feel, I look thick. Steve, I look thick.

I look thick, right? How your knees? If you post a picture, it's going to get flagged. How your knees? You got Megan Thee Stallion knees, bro? Let me see. Oh, boy. Give me a beat.

Uh-oh. Give him a beat. Give him something. Come on. Give him something. Oh, there you go. Oh, there you go. Oh, he got the Megan Thee Stallion knees, boo.

Hey. Oh, God. Oh, it's a hot boy summer. Okay, okay, okay, okay. All right. Hot boy summer. I still got it. All right.

I can drop it in the spandex. Okay. Wow, I don't know where we just went, but I don't know where we coming from. We don't know what's going on in there. I'm back. I feel good now. You made me feel good just now. There you go.

Okay. All right. When we come back, Beto O'Rourke will be joining us. He's a presidential candidate for 2020. Barely. And I will talk to him when we come back. All right? Don't move.

Charlemagne's little poke is doing his tag. Where you at, Trav? Boy, you look stupid. I know. I can hold him. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. 2020 presidential candidate, Beto O'Rourke. Welcome, sir. Good morning.

Thanks for having me. Good morning, Beto. Good morning. Good waiting to talk to you, man. What do you think, first of all, what do you think happened? You know, when you were running for Senate, you had a real spark going, like you was hot. But now running for president, it's not the same momentum. What do you think happened?

It's a different race. In the Senate, it's Beto O'Rourke versus Ted Cruz, about the clearest choice that you could possibly have. And it was also the most unlikely campaign ever. Texas last elected a Democrat statewide in 1994. So against the odds, going to be completely impossible. And yet this campaign, this guy is going to every one of the 254 counties. And it just built over time.

This race is a little bit different and a little more challenging. Instead of one other candidate, there are 20 other candidates, and they're amazing. Every single one of them bringing skills or expertise or life experience that's incredibly compelling. The country's also a lot bigger than Texas, so a lot more time to visit everyone, be there, answer questions, connect, and reflect that back in the campaign that we're running. But any race I've ever been a part of, always been low in the polls for a while, always been running against the odds or against the conventional political wisdom, have always been able to break through and break out. Nothing easy about that and nothing that I can take for granted. But I want to make this clear. Extraordinarily lucky

that I get to be in this and be on the stage with some extraordinary candidates, any one of whom would be light years better than the current occupant of the White House. That bar is so low though. I don't like when people say that. That bar is so low. I think my son could do a good job.

What did you think of Trump's briefing of killing of the ISIS leader? We discussed it briefly here, and I was like, sounded like a little harsh. Like, that sounded like somebody might want revenge. It was just nasty. What were your thoughts? It's hard to not compare that with the way that President Obama responded after we had killed bin Laden. There's something about displaying your strength with reserve.

We're the strongest, the most powerful country on the face of the planet that the world has ever known. You don't need to beat your chest about it. You don't need to talk about your enemies whimpering or crying or dying like a dog. That's what I said. That's to me some third-rate tin-pot dictator. It's not the United States of America. You're saying he shouldn't have spiked the football, is what you think?

Absolutely. He spiked the football and did a dance. And maybe also start out by thanking those who made it possible. Who were involved. Right, right. When I think about President Obama, I think of grace or graciousness

or this this quiet strength and and to me that's america at its best um the chest thumping um the the ego-driven politics donald trump for me that's america uh at its worst so there was something in his reaction um that showed us who he is is and really reflected on all of us I think poorly. That's not the message we want to send to the rest of the world. And to be clear, it's not a mission accomplished moment. Though we got al-Baghdadi, ISIS

is still alive and well. That threat is still there. It's not over. And this is probably a distraction too from other things that he has going on with the impeachment and everything. I'm sure he's like, OK, let's shift our attention here. And that might get him some support if he's overdoing it. I'm sure that there's nothing that Donald Trump does that doesn't have some personal calculation.

Or carrier motives. That's right. Let's talk about you, though, because talking about Trump, I'm not going to get you up in these polls. Right. So when you look at your polling, why do you think you haven't broken through like some of the other candidates? I think for some of the reasons that we discussed at the outset, just the extraordinary field, the number of people who are running. The fact that that my kind of campaigning does not rely on TV ads. We have not aired one of them yet. It's not going to be sound bites or bumper stickers.

This grassroots effort really requires time and requires me being on the ground. And that's why I'm traveling, I think, to a greater degree than any other candidate, holding more town halls, answering more questions. At some point, to answer your question, Charlemagne, that's got to be reflected and break through in the polls. How often do you yell, f*** at the polls? Like, when you see the poll, you see your low point, and you're like, f***.

That comes up a lot right now. And I'll tell you why. As you know, the threshold to qualify for that debate stage depends on performance and polling. Some say it's rigged. Some say it's rigged. Some say it's rigged by the DNC. It's more of a popularity contest than anything. It certainly makes it harder for someone who, unlike Tom Steyer,

cannot fund his way onto TV and onto high polling or who is unwilling to spend in early states just to get your name and face out on TV, to raise ID, to ensure that those who answer the polls respond with your name. It's really not based as a hope we'd want it to be on a competition of ideas or vision or track record or experience. How could you do that? You think, would you do it differently to see who could qualify for those debates? Yeah. That's a really good question. I think this problem of having 15 to 20 candidates is a really good problem for our democracy to have. Really? Yeah. You want that kind of competition. If we are purported to be the world's greatest

democracy, let's prove it. And it doesn't mean that you need to have all candidates on the same stage on the same night. I think, and I could be wrong, our attention span can handle two nights of debates with maybe eight candidates on a stage at each time, instead of answering in 45 seconds about some of the most complex policy issues. What if you had two minutes to lay out a vision on healthcare or immigration or criminal justice reform or climate change? That might be a way to improve the process to make sure that as you're watching at home, you get a little bit better idea of who we are, how we would propose to lead this country. And then what the difference is between these different candidates in this unprecedented field that we see. But yeah, this polling stuff is hard. No two ways about it.

Can we clarify some things about gun control with you? Because I see that's been an issue that you've been speaking on quite frequently and your ideas have evolved. So can we discuss that? Yeah, you're trying to take American guns away. That's what she's asking. That's what we heard. You're trying to take the Americans' guns. I'd say weapons of war as distinct from

a shotgun, a hunting rifle, a handgun. Yes, to answer your question very directly and honestly, yes. I don't want you to have an AR-15 or an AK-47. And yes, I acknowledge that many, most who own those weapons own them responsibly. They're not going to go out and, well, I'm not much of a hunter. Listening to hunters, it's hard to hunt with an AR-15 or an AK-47. You're ruining the meat.

You're ruining the meat. There's nothing left at the end of it. Or Bambi. So who would need that? It's designed for war, engineered and sold to the militaries of the world because they're just amazing, incredibly effective, devastating at killing people efficiently and in great numbers. Dayton, Ohio, AR-15, nine people killed in under 40 seconds. El Paso, Texas, August 3rd, the day before Dayton,

22 killed in under three minutes with an AK-47. When they conceived and ratified and adopted the Second Amendment, the right to bear arms, it took you three minutes to reload your musket. I don't know that they could envision the damage that one of these weapons of war could do. So keep that stuff on the battlefield where it belongs. Ensure that we have background checks for handguns or long guns or hunting rifles. Employ extreme risk protection orders. So if someone has a firearm and poses a risk to themselves or a risk to someone else, ensure that through due process, we take that firearm from them before they can hurt themselves or someone else. Sorry, go ahead.

So where should our focus be? Should it be keeping guns out of the wrong hands or keeping certain guns out of everybody's hands? Because, I mean, there's some people who have assault weapons who don't commit those kind of crimes. That's absolutely right. I think it has to be both. I don't think they are mutually exclusive. I think there's something unique about these weapons of war in the terror that they have produced. That guy who killed those people in El Paso, Texas, was inspired by this president. He

said he was going to repel an invasion of immigrants and asylum seekers. When the police caught him afterwards, he said, I came to kill Mexicans. It was well-armed racism turned against people who are absolutely defenseless. So those weapons of war are unique in that every one of them is a potential instrument of terror. All right, we got more with Beto O'Rourke. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Beto O'Rourke. Yee. What are some things that we can do with police brutality?

And what are your thoughts about Atatiana Jefferson? What should happen to the police officer who killed her? He should be brought to justice. I just met Atatiana or Tay Jefferson's sisters, Amber and Ashley, when I was in Grand Prairie, Texas, two weeks ago. It had been less than a week since she had been shot. For those who are listening and aren't aware of the story, in her own home with her eight-year-old nephew, harming, threatening, doing nothing to nobody, shot by a white police officer who was on her property through her bedroom window, not more than a few dozen miles from where Botham Jean,

a black man the year before, had been shot by Amber Geiger, a white police officer in his own home, not doing anything to anyone. And what Amber and Ashley said that really got to me is she said, they said, I don't feel safe anywhere. Not out on the street, not in a friend's home, not at a club, not in a restaurant,

not even in my own home. That's where we are in America today. And if there's not accountability to your question about what should happen to that police officer, if there are not consequences, if there is not justice, then we have sent the message that this is okay.

And it will... They've been sending that message to black people a long time ago. It will continue. Like, what does justice look like? Like, I mean, you said it will continue, but it's been continuing. This is decades. What is justice?

What does that look like? It means that if the district attorney is unwilling to take action, then we make this a federal civil rights priority. And we bring the full weight and resources of the Department of Justice and the Attorney General to bear on these cases. It is every single part of American life today, education, health care, the economy, and yes, the criminal justice system that has these shootings of unarmed black men and black women, but also has almost two and a half million people behind bars right now. So how do you train- Largest prison population on the planet, disproportionately comprised of people of color. So how do you train white people not to be afraid of black people?

That's essentially what it is. Yeah. I think part of it has to be in telling the full story of this country, of how we got to this place. How did we get to two and a half million people behind bars disproportionately comprised of people of color how do we get to that situation i just described in that kindergarten classroom you got to tell the true story and the true story is that the white man has been inherently violent in america absolutely that's the truth not us the foundation of this country is an extraordinarily brutal one.

I think of Nicole Hannah-Jones, the 1619 Project, the case that she makes that has persuaded me that you mark the foundation of America not on the 4th of July, 1776, but the 20th of August, 1619. The first time someone was kidnapped from West Africa, brought here against their will, made to build the wealth, the success, the greatness of America, which neither they nor their descendants alive today are able to fully participate in. And we know that from any way we can cut it or measure it, 10 times the wealth in white America than there is in black America. And it's not accidental.

It's by design. I just had a chance to go to the Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama. At the end of the Legacy Museum, you pass by a display of the 13th Amendment, which ostensibly, and I always understood from the history books and, frankly, as a white guy, that that was one of our proudest achievements. That ended slavery in America. But it also allowed slavery by another name because there's an exception in the 13th Amendment that allows for mass incarceration and frankly directs that against

communities of color. And so to answer your question or to begin to answer your question, everyone in this country needs to know that story. This didn't happen by accident. This is not a recent development. This goes back 400 years and will continue going forward indefinitely until we all understand what is happening. And for my understanding, that is the very beginning of reparations. Houston, not too far from Fort Bend, or Brian Stevenson, who's been so powerful and eloquent on this issue. Bringing every American onto the same page of history is fundamental precondition to actually making any change. He reminded me that in Germany, post-Holocaust, everyday Germans were made to go to the concentration camps, to the gas chambers, so they could never deny what had happened in their name.

In America, nothing even close. Never made to have that conversation. Until we do, I agree with you, nothing's going to change. But how do we change that narrative? How do we make sure that we have the same education, we have the same health care, we can get loans, we can be entrepreneurs, we can build our own communities? I don't want to skim past the reparations thing.

Because are you pandering? Because you didn't get on the reparations train until your campaign didn't start the way you wanted it to. This is something that I've been talking about from the very beginning of my travels across Texas, listening to

people, not understanding again because of who I am and who my kids are. So you just learned, basically. Yeah, but by listening to people. I mean, that— I was about to say, that whole spiel just fell out. But the advocacy for it from you has been kind of new. That's what I say.

That's why I asked, is it pandering? But it seems like you got new information. No, it's a function of listening to people. Being in Orange, Texas, in the east part of the state last year, and someone says, what are you going to do about the Confederate Memorial? And you don't get this question different places in Texas because there are Confederate Memorials everywhere, in almost every county, in front of almost every single county courthouse. It's the place of pride that you look up to.

And I said to the person who asked me the question, well, I think we should tear it down. And he said, no, no, no. The Confederate Memorial that is going up right now that we're building in Orange, Texas. I didn't know that. Wouldn't have known that if I had not been there. Didn't know about the disparity in discipline in kindergarten classrooms until I met the mothers and fathers of kids who had experienced that. And now I know when you see that video of that six-year-old girl who's arrested and cuffed for throwing a tantrum in an elementary school classroom, that's not the exception. That, in fact, turns out to be the rule in much of America.

So I want to acknowledge the truth of your question or your criticism. You're right. As a white guy, I have not experienced or question or your criticism. You're right. As a white guy, I have not experienced or lived or known this and wouldn't have until I listened to and went to folks who had experienced this in their lives and shared their stories with me, which were compelling enough for me to make this a leading issue, not just in my campaign, but I hope in my life. I want to see this country fulfill its promise. We are nowhere close now. And in fact, thanks to this president, we're going in the opposite

direction right now. Hate crimes on the rise every single one of the last three years. If you do not look like, love like, pray like the majority in this country, watch out because he has invited out into the open a racism that was long part of this country systemic endemic foundational a hatred that is on the loose those conversations is the reason why you're thinking more about reparations is that what you basically said absolutely yeah i think until and i can just use my experience as the example, until you understand or begin to understand where this country is, how it got this way. But I think all of that becomes more possible when you have a conscious conversation about reparations in this country. And Sheila Jackson Lee's bill, I think, is one of the best ways to start that conversation.

It's not the be allall, end-all. HR40? What are you talking about? With Bill? Yes. Okay. Yeah. Alright, we got more with Beto O'Rourke when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Beto

O'Rourke. Charlamagne? We was talking about HR40, but don't you think HR40 is the easy way out? Because, like, every candidate is talking about HR40 instead but don't you think HR 40 is the easy way out? Because every candidate is talking about HR 40 instead of really advocating for a solid plan of reparations. A solid plan for black people. Mayor Pete has a solid plan. A solid black agenda. I know you

don't like Mayor Pete, but... I like him. Yeah. It seems like y'all got a little rivalry going into the base. He comes at you real hard. Yeah. But you don't think HR 40 is the easy way out? It's easy to say, yeah, I support HR 40. As opposed to having a real plan, a real black agenda. To be clear, HR 40 is not the answer.

I think it's an important step in the right direction. Some of the other things that we've talked about, addressing disparity in educational funding, but also going beyond just equality and looking at equity. So our plan also calls for more teachers in those classrooms who look like the students in front of them. We're going to invest in teacher training academies at minority serving institutions and historically black colleges and universities so that we have a greater, stronger pipeline of teachers coming

into those schools and then end that pipeline out of those schools that's leading to jails and to prisons right now. We're talking about addressing the disparity in lending by doubling the size of community development financing institutions to get more small business loans out into the community. I mentioned how we address disparities in healthcare and a new Voting Rights Act so that what happened in Georgia, what has been happening in Texas, what you just saw in Florida can never happen again in this country. We're violating both the spirit and now the letter of the law when it comes to equal access to the ballot box. So yes, there's a plan in every single one of those areas. But I do think, and HR 40 is not easy,

or we would have gotten there by now. I do think having that conversation is so important and ensuring that everyone's voices are reflected in that conversation. Everyone has a chance to talk about and answer the question you just posed. What would this look like monetarily? What would this look like in the different actions, in the different policy areas?

I don't know that you want any one person to decide that. I think the country needs to be brought in to that conversation. HR40 helps us to have that conversation. Does Beto O'Rourke have a consistent campaign message? Because it seems like you're all over the place. Like it's reparations, it's gun violence. When people think Beto O'Rourke, do they know what his message is? I'm unafraid to take on any power, any interest, any status quo that prevents us from realizing our potential.

So on guns, you were never supposed to talk about a mandatory buyback of AR-15s or AK-47s. That was just the third rail. But after El Paso, after Dayton, after so many of these shootings, we said, we don't care. We're going to talk about what is important, what we know to be true, regardless of the political consequences. Talking about legalizing marijuana, not in 2019, but in 2009, writing a book about it, you weren't supposed to do that. That was another third rail in politics. But we understood its connection to mass incarceration.

We understood its connection to Silat Juarez, our sister city in Mexico, being literally the deadliest city on planet Earth because kids were willing to kill or die for the privilege of bringing that drug across into this country. Addressing issues of marriage equality, again, a decade ago, because we're unafraid. Running for Senate in Texas, running for president now, talking about

the issues that matter most to people, regardless of how popular they are or how well they poll, because we know this is going to be a defining moment of truth. So being afraid in the face of all of that is consistent. Bringing people in who've never been part of the conversation is consistent. So being unafraid and being unafraid to bring everyone in on any issue, not just one, but all of the issues, I think that's consistent. So you don't have a consistent campaign message per se, but you are consistent. I feel like I am consistent. People know you as the guy who just says f*** all the time. Yeah, well, I can do that. I can do that, and I'm going to say that

when it is the most honest thing to say. So when, after the El Paso shooting, inspired by Donald Trump, a reporter sticks a microphone in my face and says, do you think that Donald Trump is racism or that Donald Trump has anything to do with this? It's absolutely the appropriate thing to say, what the f**k? How can you be asking me this question?

A guy who described Mexican immigrants as rapists and criminals, who said to four women of color, duly elected by their constituents, they should go back to their home country or calls Klansmen very fine people. Yeah, what the f**k? You don't get to ask that question as a member of press. That issue has already been settled. But you know why the press asked that? The press asked that because even when y'all respond, you still ask questions. Like you're saying, well, the guy said Mexican is this, and the guy said that.

Why not just say f*** yeah, he's a racist? Oh, I've said yes from the outset, yeah. But I've said yes so long, and for someone who knows better to ask that as an open-ended question invites confusion on the part of the public. They may say, you know what? People tell me, like Beto O'Rourke has been saying Donald Trump is a white supremacist, is a racist, is part of the problem in this country. And yet I see members of the media asking this as though this is an undecided question. Maybe I'm missing something.

Yeah, so I think we have to see this clearly, speak honestly, and act decisively. I think that's what the country needs at this moment. Well, he has to go, Charlemagne. He gotta go? Yeah, he has to go. The f***? What the f*** now? Can you just answer this one question about the Democratic Party? Yeah. So young and diverse, you named yourself and Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum, but the three

leading candidates are three white 70-year-olds. Like, what should we make of that? And how does that impact, like, younger candidates like yourself? I think it's a reflection of where power has always been in this country. But I also think it is a reflection of where we are in the race. We're 100 days out from when the first decisions are going to be made on caucus night in Iowa. A ton of time. And we all know from the history of these presidential campaigns,

very often there were people polling in the single digits in October of the year before, 100 days out, who then rose to take the top of the field. Others who were polling well ahead of everyone else who dropped behind. The polls are changing. You believe Joe Biden when he says that he didn't want Obama to endorse him? No.

No. For as much as he invokes the president's name, I think that's a big part of the case that he's making. But I think... That's like when you ask a girl to go out and she was like, I'm not going out with you. I didn't want to go with you anyway. Yeah, that's right. No, I think, you know, that's like when a girl asks you ask a girl to go out and she was like, I'm not going out. She was like, I don't want to go to you anyway. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Yeah. No, I think I think we all revere President Obama.

All know that he set the standard, not not for our party, but for this country. And and I think everyone in America is thinking about that, about how much we miss him. And that's certainly part of the decision-making process for people. How do we get back to some level of sanity? How do we get back to something far better than we have right now? But also, how do we go forward in a way that addresses some of these underlying fundamental challenges that we've all talked about today, that were still there at the end of the Obama presidency? I think that's the question also that's on people's minds right now.

I know you got to go. My last question, Vanity Fair said you were born for this. But now that you've seen yourself sinking in the polls, do you still feel like you're born for this? No, no one is born for this. No one is entitled to this. Everyone must earn the support, the votes, the commitments to caucus of the people out there.

And the only way I know how to do that is to show up and be there where people are and include them in the conversation. Do you think you should have listened to some of the people in Texas who wanted you to focus on running for the Senate again as opposed to running for president? You think you should have listened? No. If I am the nominee, we can win Texas. That's 38 electoral college votes. More than any other state, that puts Donald Trump away once and forever.

So I think I can do the most good in the position that I'm pursuing. And look, I want to be present. I want to be the president this country needs. I want to make sure that we come together, we bring people in, and that we meet the greatest set of challenges that we've ever faced and fully

live up to this country's promise. How long was Beto here? What was the time? 40 minutes. Just want the record to show, man, Pete's been here twice. He gave us way more time. Just want to throw that out there. No pressure on you. Just want to throw that out there. Just want to throw that out there. I appreciate you having me on. It's a huge honor to be with you. I'm grateful for the opportunity.

That's right. Thank you. Beto O'Rour coming. I'm grateful for the opportunity. That's right. Thank you. Beto O'Rourke. Did I say it right? You said it perfectly. Beto. All right. Thank you. All right.

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.

I was about to say, hey, you Dick Tracy.

Why did you dump me, drum? I know what I'm doing here. Hey, you Dick Tracy. You didn't say Dick Tracy. You didn't give me a chance. Hey, you Dick Tracy. You didn't say Dick Tracy. You didn't give me a chance. Hey, you Dick Tracy. You can't talk with the mask on. Okay, we're doing radio. Good morning, everybody. Who are you for Halloween? Dick Tracy?

You saw me pop, lock, and drop it. I see you pop, lock it. Come on now. All right. Well, let's get to the... Don't think because I'm 41 I still can't pop, lock, and drop it in this spandex now. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors, man.

Let's talk Angie Martinez. 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, as you know, Angie Martinez has her WE tv series, Untold Stories of Hip Hop. Great show. And she's had some amazing interviews on thus far. And tonight, she's back on again and Ice-T is on. And we're going to learn some things about him during their very candid conversation that we didn't know before, like the fact that he robbed banks and jewelry stores. You were a bank robber? Fact.

But that's not all I robbed. We robbed mostly jewelry stores. Oh. And we started off not being armed. How do you rob a bank without being armed? You don't rob a bank, but you rob jewelry stores without being armed. How? Just walk in with some sledgehammers.

Sledgehammers. Just walk in, hey, hey, everybody, everybody, please back away from the case. This is about to be a bash. Please don't do this at home. I wouldn't advise it

because it's easy for somebody to get killed and shot, and then that murder will follow you forever. Yeah, I don't advise it either. You know, the illest thing about Ice-T, he still got, like, that gangster aura about him. Like, I don't advise it either. You know the illest thing about Ice-T, he still got

like that gangster aura about him. Like he still got that real screed aura about him. Like you can tell he was really, really in the trenches back in the day. Hell yeah. Because it's not off him. I saw him last week actually. You know, it's interesting. I was thinking about how he said he would rob jewelry stores

and how you don't need a gun for that. And I told you I read the Diamond Doris book, The True Story of Doris Payne, and she was a notorious jewelry thief. She details a lot of what she was doing. It's a great read. They make it into a movie and it's a documentary also. But it is interesting because you definitely don't

need to do that to rob a jewelry store. Ice-T got that kind of voice too though. Ice-T got that robbery kind of voice. If Ice-T tell you to put it in the bag, you're going to put it in the bag. Put it in the bag. Yeah, Diamond Doris, she wasn't even doing that. She was just sliding off with it. They should go in the sewer.

Like, that's where I go. Like, Mario, Mario, we go in the sewer when we steal stuff. What are you talking about? Mario. It's the mushrooms. The mushrooms. Clearly, it's the mushrooms. And let's talk about Nicki Minaj.

She has gotten her wedding ring. That wedding ring, according to the jeweler, was $1.1 million. Raffaello & Co. said that he commissioned them to make their wedding rings, and he worked with them for several months. Her ring has a 17-carat center with VVS2 clarity diamonds. Ooh, okay. That's dope. Drop on the clothes bombs for Nicki Minaj.

Congrats to them. And for her husband, Kenneth Petty, his ring has the words Ken and Barbie on the inside of it. I'm not gonna front. I gotta step my wedding ring game up, bro. I just got like a plain gold band, but I really want like a really fly, dope-ass wedding ring. I think that's the next level of, you know, just...

Just what? Faithfulness. There you go. You of, you know, just faithfulness. There you go. You see mine? Yours is fresh. Yours is very fresh. You and Offset got very fresh wedding rings. You have a tattoo too, Envy? Yeah, I have a tattoo on my wedding ring. Also? Okay. You got a tattoo on your wedding ring? Not on my wedding ring. Under my wedding ring, I should say.

It's called your finger, you dumbass. Jesus Christ, man. My finger. It took him forever to realize what to call his finger. Yeah. This guy. You know what I meant. Drop one of Kool's bombs in hand. Mario doesn't have fingers.

Lord have mercy. Mario only has four fingers. All right. Angela Yeehan, that's your rumor report. This guy is a genius. Which one is my ring finger? The one with the ring on it? The second one.

That one. No, that's your point finger. Your ring finger is on that finger, bro. That's the point finger. The one with the ring on it? The second one. That one. No, that's your point finger. Your ring finger is on that finger, bro. That's the point finger. Your ring finger is on the four fingers. Alright, man. Which one you gonna use on drum? Stop. Did you snort?

Did you just snort, yo? What is wrong with you? Oh, my goodness. All right, little punk. Mario, go down in those little dark tunnels, boy. It's dark down there. It's you and some Koopa Troopas. Who you giving your doggy to, man?

You know, man, it's Halloween, and there's some sex offenders in Georgia that are really, really ruining the Halloween spirit. We'll talk about it for after the hour. All right, we'll get into that next Don't Go, Move Anywhere, It's the Breakfast Club. Mario. You're going to be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day.

So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Deli? Absolutely. I have become Donkey of the Day. It's the Breakfast Club, bitches. You're Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. That's a breakfast club, bitches. You're a donkey. Yes, donkey of the day. For Thursday, October 31st, Halloween.

It goes to three registered sex offenders in Butts County, Georgia. Where's that? Butts County, Georgia. I don't know where Butts County is in Georgia. But if it's in Atlanta, then God has a great sense of humor. I heard you in Flippin' New Jersey down there looking for houses in Butts. Envy? Nope.

Now, the three registered sex offenders go by the names of Christopher Reed, Reginald Holden, and Corey McClendon. And these three registered sex offenders sued Butts County Sheriff Gary Long because Sheriff Gary Long wants to put no trick-or-treating signs at these sex offenders' homes. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to WKRC Local 12 News for the report, please. Three registered sex offenders are suing to stop the Butts County Sheriff's Office from putting up this sign in their yards, which warned trick-or-treaters to stay away. We went by the homes of each of the plaintiffs.

Whomever was inside Chloe McClendon's house wouldn't come to the door. No one seemed to be home at Reginald Holden's house, and when we stopped by Christopher Reed's, his dad asked us to protect his identity, and he didn't hold back. Who would dare to come and put signs on my property? The lawsuit alleges the signs violates the offender's free speech, and deputies are going on private property without permission to put them up. I think it's wrong. I think it's humiliating. Reed's father says it's also unfair to him.

He's just trying to give his son a place to live. Why does he still live with his dad? Bro, that is so stupid. Oh, my God. Now, that is so... You can't... Oh, my God. Now, on Tuesday, a federal judge named Mark T. Treadwell

actually sided with the sex offenders and said that the sheriff's plan to post no trick-or-treating signs at sex offenders' homes was unconstitutional. The judge said

the three men who sued are by all accounts rehabilitated and living law-abiding lives. He also wrote, yet their sheriff finds it necessary to post signs in front of their homes, announcing to the public that their homes are dangerous for children. The judge continues, the sheriff's decision is not based on any determination that the plaintiffs are dangerous, nor is the sheriff's sign posted, founded on Georgia's law.

The sheriff's plan to place the signs run afoul of the First Amendment because it compels the men to display the message even though they disagree with it. Now look, I'm all about rehabilitation. I'm all about evolution. I think we should have redemption culture if a judge looks at these men and he thinks they have rehabilitated themselves

and they are now law-abiding citizens. Who am I to say otherwise? But the reason I have to give these three registered sex offenders donkey of the day is simple. Registered sex offenders don't want this sign in their yard that says, Stop warning. Stop. No trick or treat at this address. A community message from Butts County Sheriff Gary Long.

Can you see this? Is it up on Revolt? Okay, it's up on Revolt as well. They don't want this sign in their yard. But have you seen the signs that actual sex offenders have in their yards? One says, is that going up on Revolt too? Good. One says, notice sex offender restricted zone.

If you're watching on Revolt TV, you can see it. Another says, public notice John Goodman is a convicted sexual predator and lives at this location. Look at that sign. Another says, it's right there.

Another says child sex offender in big bold letters with the person's name right under it and arrows pointing at the house. Guys, those signs are worse than this one. The no trick or treating at this address sign. Okay, do you realize that a sign in your yard that says you are a registered sex offender is a no trick-or-treating sign? Okay, I'm not taking my kids to a house that has a registered sex offender sign in it. Would you? Not at all. Come on, man. That's a haunted house.

All right? There is no Halloween decoration scarier than a sex offender sign in somebody's yard. So I understand y'all being offended by the no trick-or-treating at this address sign in your yard. But guys, come on. Okay, I'm not sure if it's once a sex offender, always a sex offender. Because if it is, that means you still have signs in your yard. But if it's not, trust me, you all have had worse signs in your yard. Okay? If I had to take a sex offender sign versus a no trick-or-treat at this address sign,

I'm taking no trick-or-treat at this address for $400, Alex. Please give these three sex offenders, Christopher Reed, Reginald Holden, and Gary McClendon, the biggest hee-haw. Come on, man. Come on, man. You're a registered sex offender, guys. This sign is nothing. This is nothing. Warning, no trick or treat.

Opposed to John Goodman is a sexual predator and he lives here? Come on, man. All right. Stop it. Thank you for that donkey today.

If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Come on, mom. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Yee.

Keep it real. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Tay. Hey, Tay, what's your question for Yee?

My question is, probably a couple of days ago, my middle daughter came home, and she said that her dad's girlfriend had popped her. And I don't know the girl. I've never seen her, never looked at her. I don't know anything about her. Well, me and her dad got into basically a big argument. And I asked him, I told him in order for him to see my kids again, I would like to actually sit down and have basically like a little meet and greet with the girl.

Right. And he basically told me that there wouldn't be a sit down and he just wouldn't see his kids because he didn't want me to sit down and meet his girlfriend. That is ridiculous. And I think what you're asking for is very fair. Right. And then he said he was like, well well i've never met anyone that you dated but the thing about it is he's never asked because anybody that i've asked anybody that i've dated

they're very aware that i have children of course i have to deal with my kid's father so there's never been any like deep or anything towards anybody um from my end but he told me that he didn't agree with me meeting her, and she wasn't going anywhere, so he just wouldn't see his kids. I think that's ridiculous, that that's the ultimatum he's giving you. It sounds like he's trying to do a tit-for-tat. Now, when you said you wanted to meet her,

you weren't trying to meet her like, I want to meet her, confront her. It was more like, I don't need to know who my daughter's around. Right. Well, see, the thing is, like I said, I've never seen her before, never met her, never. I don't, if the who my daughter's around. Right. Well, see, the thing is, like I said, I've never seen her before. Never met her.

Never. I don't. If the girl was to walk up to me right now, I wouldn't know who she was. Right. Because I've never seen her or anything. And I didn't initially have a problem with her. I actually don't have a problem with her now. But my issue is my four-year-old daughter came home saying that she popped my two-year-old.

Which, if she did, I understand why. Because they just had a baby together. And my four-year-old said that she popped her because my two-year-old pinched the baby, which babies do things, but she's two. And so for me, it's like I don't know her. I've never seen her before. His mom called me, and she was like, oh, oh, she's not that type of person. She wouldn't do this. She wouldn't do that.

That's fine, but if my child is going to be around her and we got people popping people, I feel as though I need to meet her. We need to have a sit down. I need to know exactly who's around my child. And I agree with you on that. It's just maybe in the approach. You know what's interesting?

Mashanda has this book out, right, where she talks about her blended family with her and Swizz and Alicia and how she had to get to the point where obviously they had to have a sit down. And things like that you have to explain to him are good for the children as well, you know, because sometimes your kids might feel like they have to choose a side. They might not like somebody because they don't think that you're comfortable with it. So if he says she's not going anywhere and they have a child together too, it is important for you guys to meet and not in an aggressive way. It has to be, maybe y'all go out to a dinner together or something and sit down because it has to be handled in a mature, a mature way. And that's more for the kids than anything else. You want your kids to feel comfortable to see, look at mommy and daddy, you know, they can be civil towards each other mom is okay with this other woman and that way you keep the lines of communication open but maybe it's

the reason why you now want to meet her is because uh you've heard how she popped your two-year-old and so he might be a little bit concerned that it's going to be argumentative honestly i don't even think it's that i think the fact that he hasn't reached a sure point, like, because any conversation that we have, it usually goes left regardless of if something's concerning this or, you know. So your relationship isn't that good with him? Right, right. Yeah, but it's just about the kids. And he's got to put his feelings to the side, and you've got to explain to him, we need to do what's best for our children, whether or not we get along. And we actually do need to try to get along better for the sake of our kids. Not that we have to be best friends, but we have to co-parent.

And part of that is being more mature. And maybe that's you making that first step since you say you guys always end up getting into an argument, you know, to figure out what are productive ways that we can communicate with each other so that it doesn't have to be that way. And if that means that we're not talking on the phone, but we're sending messages and we're using language that's not attacking each other and blaming each other for things, but expressing how we feel, you know, I think that can be helpful too. Right. And that's you taking responsibility in your part as far as being argumentative as well. Well, and like i i also talked to his mom and she was like well i agree with you that i mean that needs to happen and like i said it's not even me always trying to be argumentative with him it's just i just want to

do what's best for right and not that it's just you i'm sure it's both of you you know what i'm saying so and if it seems like the mom is very fair and biased and maybe she can help mediate the situation. Right. Is that a possibility? Um, I kind of, but then in a way, I feel like his mom is actually scared of him. So, it's a win-lose battle. Yeah. I mean, listen, at the end of the day, you guys have to figure it out.

And maybe emotions are high right now because you guys haven't gotten to the point where, you know, you have a two-year-old. That's not that long ago. So maybe you guys aren't at the point where you've gotten over certain things in your relationship and how you can communicate with each other. And that seems like that's the main issue, how you guys communicate with each other. Yeah. So for the sake of the kids, it might mean that you guys, I know they have places where you can go as far as co-parenting for you all to figure out how you can do that. Yeah. Right. So, I think that's where you have to start, with you guys' relationship. Not with your relationship with this other woman who eventually you will have to meet, but

your relationship with him. Okay, okay, thank you. Alright, you're welcome, Tay. I know that's difficult. Alright. Can you imagine somebody else being around your kids and popping your two-year-old? No. No, not at all. Exactly. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051.? No. No, not at all. Exactly.

Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need advice, call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Another one. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Stephanie. Hey, what's your question for Yee? Um, well, me and my man, we have an issue, like, seeing eye to eye. So I was

wondering, like, what can we do to see eye to eye on different things that we have different understandings of? You said you had a problem seeing eye to eye? Yes. Give me some examples. Like yesterday, his sister's friend was

giving our kid a bed, but he went to her house by himself, and I just didn't understand why, you know, she didn't call me about the bed and she called him. Basically, we have trust issues, so it's different things that we don't

see eye to eye on so it's his sister's friend though it's his sister's friend yeah so you think his sister's friend should have called you i think that his sister should have gave her my number instead of giving it to him but that's his sister okay so the real issue isn't that. The real issue is you don't trust him. That's what he says. I mean, that is what it is. Because if you trusted him, you wouldn't even think anything of it. He's just going to pick up a bed. Well, the only thing I don't trust him is that I don't trust her.

Like, I don't trust the situation. What is it about this girl that you don't trust? Because if you trust your man, none of that should matter. I don't know her like that, but I guess you're right. Yeah. I mean, that's the root of the problem. And why don't you trust him? Well, he has cheated before.

There you go. Plenty of times. Plenty of times. And you don't think he's going to stop because you stayed. Right. And when you stayed, you agreed to move on and kind of deal with that. Right. Has he been proving otherwise to you? Yes. Recently he has. He has. So I guess I should pull back and just let him prove himself that he's there for his family. But one thing I will say is whenever you're uncomfortable with something, there's nothing wrong with expressing yourself. And if you were uncomfortable with that situation, I wouldn't blame his sister.

I wouldn't blame. I would tell him, listen, we do have a history of you having done things to me in the past. And if you're going to be going to some girl's house, I would have liked to know. And you should have told me and I should have come with you. And I think that's a fair thing to say. It doesn't have to be an attack. Maybe he really meant no harm, but he does have a history of doing things. So you have to let him know that these are the rules for now. Yeah, and he definitely let me know. It's just that I would have liked to go with him instead of him going by himself, just for my comfort. But at the same time, I guess.

Yeah, and you should definitely express that to him. But it does seem like it's more about you not trusting him than anything else. So, you know, when things like that happen, just give him notifications so it doesn't happen again that way. You're right. Thank you.

Okay, good luck. All right. Good luck, mama. It's so hard to build that trust back up, man. Absolutely. Every time you leave the house, you're like, oh, so you left the house to go see that bitch? Ask Yee, 800-585-1051. Now you got rumors on the way? Yes, a. Absolutely. Every time you leave the house, you're like, oh, so you left the house to go see that bitch? Ask Yee.

800-585-1051. Now you got rumors on the way? Yes, a new song. What If I Was Gay will tell you some information on who these are. I love it already. Drop one of Clues Bonds for it. Haven't even heard it. We haven't even heard it yet. Alright, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. There you go. What's in that agenda again? The Breakfast Club. She's spilling The Breakfast Club. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Yes, so Eminem and Joyner Lucas, you know, they did that Lucky You song previously and it seems like they've both been pretty cool with each other. Well, Eminem is going to be on Johnny Lucas' new ADHD album and there's been not a lot of details on what's happening with this album, but there's a snippet of a song called What If I Was Gay that has leaked online. There's a 13 second teaser that is now circulating and here's what it sounds like.

What if I told you I'm out of place? Wait, what if I told you that I was gay? What if I'm a hypocrite who's afraid to just face truth? Wait. What if I told you I'm gay too? I got to hear the whole song because I need more context. What do you mean? I need more context.

I need to know exactly what he's talking about. I need to know why he decided to write that song. Because if he's not gay, what's the angle? He said he was gay. You know what I'm saying? Right. I just want to know what the angle to write that song. Because if he's not gay, what's the angle? He said he was gay. You know what I'm saying? Right. Like, I just want to know what the angle is. What if?

What if? I guess it's a... Do you remember when Eminem had that song, Holly's Gone Crazy? And he said on the song, this whole time I've been lying my ass off, me and Draven out the closet having sex with hats off. And then Dre's ad-lib is,

suck it, Marshall. I'm out the closet, I've been lying my ass off all this time, me and Draven, we fucking with hats off. Suck it, Marshall. I'm out the closet. I've been lying my ass off all this time. Me and Dre, we fucking had it all. Suck it, Marshall. What? That's all you remember? I do remember that song.

Okay. Yeah, I remember that song as well. All right. Now, John Witherspoon, we told you that he unfortunately passed away. It turns out that the cause of death was cardiac arrest. And they said they do have dispatch audio with a dispatcher request rescue for an unconscious man. And they did try to give him CPR, but unfortunately he did pass away. So again, rest in peace and our condolences to his family. He was so well loved, as you can see by everybody

that had posted their own comments about him. All right. Now, Lisa Ray was on the Wendy Williams show. And what was she talking about? Well, she was talking about the reason why she introduced Dwayne Martin to her husband at the time, Michael Mizik, who was the prime minister of Turks and Caicos. When you introduce your friend to your husband, I did that for business, for association, for relationship. And when it went sour and I had a sidebar with Dwayne and said, hey, you know, what are you doing and why are you doing it? And I don't...

He became better friends with your husband than you were. Yeah, he started, you know, being in places that he shouldn't have been. But let me be clear. I never said that Dwayne broke my marriage up. I said that he was a friend of mine and that he shouldn't have been in places that he was in with my now ex-husband. Now, she also goes on to say that her and Dwayne Martin clearly are no longer friends. And here's how you know you're not friends with somebody.

When you tell a person that you're no longer my friend, if I see you, you don't have to ever speak to me again. Okay. If you were on fire, I wouldn't spit on you. If I said these things to you, that means I no longer give a damn about you. As far as relationship status right now, Lisa Rae says she's still single, but guess who isn't single? What's up with your love life?

Not a thing. Really? So you're totally eligible? Look like you. Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm getting a divorce, but I'm... I've got mine, and so how the hell did you get yours? I'm very claimed divorce but i'm i've got mine so i'm very all right so there you have it that's the whole rundown i actually watched uh lisa ray's uncensored on tv1 as well so it was pretty interesting um her mom was on there her mom looks amazing

and she talks just about meeting michael m Mizik and how she became the first lady and all of that. Things did end up going downhill. All right. Now, Diddy says he's in semi-retirement mode. He did a Rolling Stone cover story. It's Diddy and DJ Khaled. They're talking about their career trajectories. He said, if you don't see my name on all the top 10 records, that means I'm not making music.

I'm bringing making the band back in 2020. I'm contemplating. Is there a role for me in music now? I just that for me I would be able only be able to sign legends to be honest my decisions will be made through God I'm at another frequency and level of music it would have to be something that God fully put in my heart like when I heard Biggie or her marriage a blige interesting does music miss puff daddy does hip-hop miss Sean Combs musically? I would say no.

I don't think so. But Diddy is a staple in our culture. He is. But I think that he's just bigoted in music. I'm trying to think, did I ever really look to Diddy for music at all, though? I never looked to Diddy for music. You look for his label. Yeah, I look for his artist.

His collaborations. That stamp, you know what I mean? He put that stamp on Biggie, that stamp on Mary J. Blige, that stamp on Jodeci, that stamp on Mase, that stamp on 112. It was that stamp, the locks. Dirty money. Yeah. Dirty, no.

No. I'm not looking for Diddy musically, though. Alright, and Kodak Black reportedly got into a fight in prison, and that prison guard was reportedly sent to the hospital. So they said things got a little violent Tuesday night. He was involved in that fight, and we don't know exactly what happened, but we know that the brawl took place at Miami's Federal Detention Center,

and the fight reportedly started between two inmates, but it's unknown if he was one of those two men or if he ended up getting involved once the fight already started happening. So yes, the guard was sent to the hospital. Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Rumor Report. Yo, I'll just say we really need to have a Diddy conversation because

I'm trying to see where Diddy's place is musically because I would say that Diddy's gotta be like top two ad livers of all time, right? You know, you think about him on records like Hate Me Now, and I loved him on the Nipsey Hussle Young. You know what I'm saying? So it's something Diddy brings to music, right?

Correct. I just don't know what it is. But just not recording anymore for himself or, I mean, when's the last time Diddy had an artist? When he had an artist? Machine Gun Kelly was his last artist. And what's the quintessential, you can say French Montana. What's the quintessential Diddy record that you just gotta, you gotta listen

to even now? Bad Boys for Life when you rockin'. No. Him and Mase, Been Around the World. I'll Be Missin' You, ain't that his song? No. Hate Me Now is Nas's. Maybe I Need a Girl Part 2. I Need a Girl. Oh, yeah. The Benjamins, the Benjamins.

The Benjamins, alright, alright. Okay, The Benjamins The Benjamins The Benjamins The Benjamins Alright alright Okay the Benjamins Now I'm just See I'm just trying to get the conversation I'm trying to see where we at Yes the Benjamins

Now. I tried to call. All right. When we come back, it's all about Halloween music. Let me know your favorite Halloween joint. Hit me up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Who's everybody in Butts County? Heard it's 40 miles from Atlanta.

That butt ain't too far if you want to travel for it. ATL. Vote. We'll see you tomorrow. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Shout out to Beto O'Rourke for joining us this morning.

Beto O'Rourke. People say we was being hard on Beto. I didn't think we was being hard. Beto. Beto. Yeah. O'Rourke. They say we was being hard on Beto. I didn't think we was being hard on him. Beto, Beto. Yeah, O'Rourke. They say we was being hard on him. I didn't think we was being hard on him. I didn't think so.

We just asked some questions. Yeah, I didn't think so. We just had questions. And shout to everybody that's going out for Halloween. Just be careful out there trick-or-treating on the East Coast. I know the weather's disgusting and nasty. Just be careful out there. Is there an age limit to when you can stop trick-or-treating,

or can anybody still do it? I mean, I think you look a little weird dressed up as an adult with a costume on going from house to house asking for candy. You can't love candy that much. I think it's a thing for the kids. I mean, even though in New York and New Jersey it is raining, last week we had a trick-or-trunk

trick-or-trunk, trunk-or-trick, whatever it is at the school. And the kids got to do it then, so maybe they won't miss it tonight. I don't know. We'll see. Can Super Mario go out and trick-or-treat? Yes, Mario is going out trick-or-treating. I'm taking the kids out today, so we're going to be out.

Do you get candy, too? Do you go up to the door with your little bag? Nah, there's one house that I do go to, and I do get— It's called the Donut House, where they actually make donuts for all the kids that come trick or treating. So they make hundreds and hundreds of donuts and the donuts are amazing homemade. So I definitely go there and go get my donut. So you sound like you're more excited. I am.

Yeah. The cheat code is to just go to the mall. That's no fun. But that's just the cheat code. You know you're going to get candy real quick. No, you want to go ring doorbells. That's the fun part. I'm from Brooklyn.

No. All right. Well, when we come back, positive note, doorbells. That's the fun part. I'm from Brooklyn. No. All right. Well, when we come back, positive note, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
