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.

Ah, yeah, it's interesting watching everybody
um, everybody
Oh, it's in the States? Okay.
I'll be on Instagram watching everybody on vacation.
It seems like everybody goes to Tulum or
Jamaica. I've seen
Mexico and Turks and Caicos. Those are the
places I've been to. Yeah, that's Tulum.
I'm saying, yeah, I know people go all over
Mexico, but I see a lot of people go to Tulum.
Yeah.
Congratulations to y'all. I'm happy for y'all know people go all over Mexico, but I see a lot of people go to Tulum. Yeah. Congratulations to y'all.
Yeah.
I'm happy for y'all.
So when she comes back, I guess she has to quarantine for 14 days.
Try to stay away from me.
Yeah.
We in this together.
And my man, Lil Duval, says we in this together, but stay away from me.
Stay away from me.
I'm with you.
I mean, I haven't gone anywhere.
Charlamagne hasn't gone anywhere.
And there's a reason for that.
That's right.
Because we are nervous and we don't want to catch anything
and bring it back to our family. So that's where we've been
staying put. Now, did you see
the game last night?
Up until I didn't want to watch it
no more because the Lakers was busting their ass so bad.
I watched it like the fourth. I watched it the fourth quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, I actually turned it off
and went upstairs. Now, did you see the first quarter?
The first quarter, he was playing good.
They was up 13. I'm like, okay, this is going to be a nice series.
Yeah, they was up 13, but the Lakers,
they was up 13, but then the Lakers
still finished the first quarter up by three.
Yeah, I know.
So it was, I mean, listen,
my man Josh, my man Josh from Boston,
he asked me last night, he said,
yo, you know who you think will win this series?
I said, I think the Lakers will probably sweep the Heat.
I like the Heat. They're a tough team, but I just, I don't know. Not for the Lakers, I think the Lakers will probably sweep the heat. I like the heat.
It's a tough team, but I don't know.
Not for the Lakers.
I think the Lakers will sweep them.
I think Miami might be able to squeeze out one, but I think the Lakers will sweep them.
But who knows?
Who cares?
All right.
All right.
Now, this morning, joining us, we have Congressman Cedric Richmond.
He'll be joining us.
We'll be talking to him.
Yes, Congressman Cedric Richmond, and he is Vice President,
Presidential nominee, Joe Biden's co-chair.
Okay.
Yes.
What does that mean?
What does that co-chair mean?
I have no idea.
Okay.
You're the second person to ask me that in two days.
What is a co-chair?
I don't know.
I didn't even think about it.
Okay.
To be honest with you.
Are you still the Secretary of Defense for Kanye West?
I've never been that.
Shut up.
Stop spreading that lie because people believe that.
Nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining.
I've seen it online.
People say those type of stupid stuff.
They hear that, then they repeat it.
You know, in my comments for the next six months,
Charlamagne is biased because he's part of Kanye West's campaign.
Like, what are you talking about?
That's true. All right, well you talking about? That's true.
All right, well, let's get the show cracking.
Front page news.
We're talking about Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron
and some things he had to say.
So we'll talk about that when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Angela Yee's on vacation.
So let's get on some front page news.
The last
night in basketball, the Lakers beat the Miami
Heat 116-98.
All right, Lakers blew them away. Like I said,
Miami Heat had a lead in the first quarter. They were up
13 and they never seen a lead again.
Now, Sunday's game, football
between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans
has been postponed
that they believe to either Monday or Tuesday.
And that's because of four players and five team staff members
tested positive for COVID-19.
So they quarantined for the whole week and didn't get to play on Tuesday?
Yeah, if there's no more positive tests,
then they'll get to play on Monday or Tuesday.
Now, Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron,
he was granted 48-hour delay in release of Breonna Taylor's grand jury recordings.
He originally wanted two weeks.
So he spoke to the press yesterday and they asked if he was nervous.
That's why he's not releasing or asking for more time to release this audio.
No, we're fully confident in the presentation that we put forward.
At the end of the day, it was our responsibility to uncover the truth.
I know the truth sometimes will make people uncomfortable.
Some in the public had already made a determination about where they wanted to see this case conclude without all of the facts.
It was this officer's responsibility to find those facts and then have that lead to the conclusions.
Stop it, Daniel.
Knock it off.
I saw a picture of Daniel Cameron getting a haircut in Supercuts yesterday,
and now I really don't trust him.
That tells me everything I need to know about him, okay?
And I don't understand why Daniel, yeah, a black man getting a haircut at Supercuts?
Yeah, that sounds crazy.
By a white woman?
I don't understand why Daniel is in the way.
Like, why is he going so hard to protect law enforcement?
If somebody's screwed up, they should have to pay for their mistakes.
Your job as a leader is to hold folks accountable.
So do it.
Why is he in the way for?
Now, also, he talks about friendly fire.
They believe that one of the cops was shot with friendly fire,
that they basically shot themselves.
Well, this is what he had to say about that.
The entry wound for Sergeant Mattingly was to the front of his leg,
and the KSP and LNPD, the bullet that was found outside in the foyer, was a Remington round.
So everything indicates that that was a friendly fire or crossfire
that hit sergeant mattingly is a is a silly idea what's silly is calling it friendly fire why do
they call it friendly fire i've heard that term throughout my life could somebody explain to me
why it's called friendly fire what's friendly about someone uh kicking in your door you thinking
it's an intruder so you shoot to protect protect your house, which any sane human would do,
and then they shoot back.
What's friendly about that?
Well, no, that's not friendly fire.
Friendly fire is basically the police officer shooting at somebody,
and then they shoot each other.
That's friendly fire.
We're on the same team, and you shot me by accident.
That's what they call friendly fire.
Well, that's your man, or that's your team, and he shoots you by accident.
That's friendly fire.
I know.
But by the way, I never heard that that theory until Daniel Cameron said it.
I never heard anything about the cops shooting.
So and lastly, we'll just play one more.
They talk about the witnesses.
One of the witnesses changing their testimony and why that was it.
Well, that wasn't as significant as we thought.
Well, as it relates to that specific witness, we presented on all of the discrepancies in his testimony.
We provided all of that information to the grand jury
for them to hear and to process.
The fact of the matter is, is that particular witness
was in closest proximity as it relates to hearing
and being able to hear the knocking of the officers,
on at least one account, he says that he heard the knocking.
The fact that others did not hear that, I will pass judgment on that.
I don't even know what the hell he's talking about.
Well, that's the witness changing his testimony.
And the reason why he said the witness changed his testimony,
it doesn't matter if the witness had the facts or not.
You don't need the facts of what you heard.
That's what you heard.
You stand by what you heard.
It doesn't matter that they, oh, well, these facts came out
and then this information came out.
It doesn't matter.
The witness heard what they heard.
Why is that one witness more credible than the other witnesses that they had?
I think it was like, what, 13, 14 witnesses or something like that.
Why the one person?
Why you listen to that one person
as opposed to everybody else with the same story
saying that they didn't hear police announce themselves
or they didn't hear police knock?
And why the person that was in the house,
Kenneth, why is he not credible?
He was in the crib.
He would know.
All right, well, that is your front page news. Get it in the crib. He would know. That is your front
page news. Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Again, 800-585-1051.
Get it off your
chest. The phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast
Club. Good morning.
Is your country falling
apart? Feeling tired? Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
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.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets. Bullets.
Bullets. We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
And we're losing daylight fast.
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like, grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Hello, who's this?
MC, what's going on?
Bro, it's Mello.
Mello, what's up, man?
Your man iPhone sent me looking for you, man.
He ain't been bugging.
You need to talk to him.
Nah, son, he's just tight
because I've moved out of New York. I came back for a day, but I ain't get a chance to link you, man. He ain't been bugging. You need to talk to him. Nah, son, he's just tight because I've moved out of New York.
I came back for a day,
but I ain't get a chance
to link him, son.
But I got him.
Don't worry about that.
You sent y'all a couple.
Nah, you know,
iPhone sim hit me yesterday.
He got a check.
You know what I mean?
And instead of going to invest it,
I looked up.
He bought a Rolex for him.
He bought a Rolex for his girl.
He was Gucci'd out.
She was Fendi'd out. And then on the comment, he said, I would've invested, but Envy didn't help me, so I just bought this., he bought a Rolex for his girl, he was Gucci'd out, she was Fendi'd out,
and then on the comment, he said, I would've invested, but Envy didn't
help me, so I just bought this. I'm like, bro, you gotta
do yourself.
Son, I ain't even hear you talk
about that. That's
between y'all. Oh, no, no,
that's your man's. Yeah, that's
my brother, forget that, that's my brother.
Y'all sound like a couple, I ain't gonna lie to you.
Yo, Charlotte.
Yo, did you ever fulfill 6ix9ine's wishes or no?
Stop.
Stop.
No, he didn't.
He beat the case.
I mean, he didn't beat the case.
He lost the case.
Nah, bro.
I mean, compared to 67 years and one year in the crib, nah, you beat the case.
Bro, no.
A sentence is a sentence.
Okay?
Beating the case means you didn't get sentenced to nothing.
But anyway, what are you here for, sir?
Enough about us sucking d***.
Wow.
What do you mean us?
No, no, no.
What do you mean us?
Yeah, what do you mean us?
You keep that lesson to yourself.
Continue, though.
Nah, honestly, I want to talk about that whole debate situation.
Like, what was that about?
Like, as far as Trump, instead of saying,
don't do it,
he just said,
stand by.
Now,
from where I'm from,
stand by means
wait for further instructions.
Absolutely.
Like,
so he's just gonna sit there
and, like,
ignore the fact
that that's what he said.
And then on top of that,
Biden,
like Charlotte said,
you are worse.
You are the worst person
for running for president.
Like,
you just don't know
how to do it.
Like,
it's horrible. Then, on top of that, he's sitting there talking about all the things he's gonna running for president. Like, you just don't know how to do it. Like, it's horrible.
Then, on top of that, he's sitting there talking about all the things he's going to do as president.
Like, you didn't have eight years to do that as vice president.
Like, this is just crazy, son.
Well, these are the options we have presented.
So act accordingly on November 3rd.
First of all, didn't Roddy would say, I'm a 2020 president candidate?
Like, bro, where you at?
Please, come here.
You would vote for Roddy Ricch over Joe Biden or Donald Trump?
You say he's a 2020 president candidate, I'm evaluating all the options.
That's all I'm saying, man.
Wow.
I get it.
Says a lot about America.
Have a good day, sir.
You be safe out there, man.
Go find iPhone, man.
And make sure your mouth's wet. Have a good one, man. Go find iPhone, man, and make sure your mouth's wet.

Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show,
where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post High is all about. It's a chance to sit
down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts
that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after

Listen to post run high on the I heart radio app Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.
You better have the same energy.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Megan.
Megan, what's up? Get it off your chest.
I just want to get some opinion from you guys.
Talk to me, Megan.
What's up, Megan?
I got dumped yesterday,
and he basically told me that it would be awkward
that our relationship wouldn't last,
and he felt like I was just insecure,
and I wasn't affectionate.
So I feel like it's holding somebody down
and being there through everything,
from jail,
repose, all this. How can you just let something go like that? And then
on top of that, you being around my child.
How long y'all was together? We was together
for a year. He put me, he told me
to wait on him for over half of a
month. I waited on him.
I asked him to go back out with me.
He asked me back.
Then we was together for like a week. And then all of a sudden, boom. He get with me. He asked me back. Then we were together for like a week.
And then all of a sudden, boom, he get his car, he out my life.
Damn.
Well, I have to tell you, you know, sometimes rejection is God's protection.
So if it was meant to be, y'all would have been together.
But being that it's not meant to be, you should just look at the bright side
and say maybe God is protecting you from something.
Clearly he's not the one.
No matter how good that penis
was, no matter how much he loved
you or you thought he loved you,
he just wasn't the one. And it's
crazy because I prayed and prayed and
prayed. I mean, we went through hell and back.
I just don't understand how you could just avoid
me. And then I have to have somebody
call you just to answer my call.
That's what you just said. You prayed,
you prayed, you prayed, and God gave you the sign, mama.
That's right. God removed
him from your life. Oh, after
the fact. Yes, after.
I used to have him praying
together. He was on the right track,
but it was people in his family that didn't even want
him with me. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, well,
how when I'm the only one that's there?
Man, like I said, rejection is
God's protection sometimes.
I'm so God protecting you from.
You can look at my snap and not talk to me
so if you done with me, why watch me?
Maybe that's what it is. Maybe you just ain't look as good
on snap as he used to. Ah, stop it, mama.
Just block him from snapping
and move on, man.
He's not for you. He disrespects you. You don't want him back,
alright? I'm just saying, you know,
I'm on your side and I love you and I appreciate you, but I'm telling you, if he't want him back, all right? I'm just saying, you know, I'm on your side, and I love you,
and I appreciate you, but I'm telling you,
if he was looking at your snap and still dumped you,
he might want to go do some cardio or something.
You have a good one, mama.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, it's Sherry.
Good morning.
What's up, King?
This is Charlemagne.
Listen, brother.
Yes, sir.
Oh, man, he's up on Biden, man.
You're assassinating this character.
I agree with the young lady that called yesterday. It's either or, man. Ease up on Biden, man. You're assassinating this character. I agree with the young lady that called yesterday.
It's either or, man.
Duh.
I think y'all are ridiculous as humans thinking that we can't critique somebody,
talk about their flaws, talk about their imperfections,
and still vote for them.
We got to stop this go-along just to get along stuff.
You're going to lie to people?
How do you keep people honest if you're not telling them the truth?
A lot of poor people that need him, bro.
You don't.
It's a lot of geeks.
That's not true.
Need him, bro.
They need Biden because he's going to do more.
He's going to do more for the people
that's in need, that's dying.
Can I ask you a question?
Trump ain't going to do shit.
He's proven that.
Can I ask you a question?
He's not going to do anything.
Can I ask you a question? I know Trump isn to do anything. Can I ask you a question?
I know Trump isn't going to do anything.
I know Trump isn't going to do anything.
But how do you keep a politician honest?
How do you make sure that a politician does everything he says he's going to do
if we're afraid to critique him?
You can still critique Joe Biden and vote for him.
Because guess what?
After he gets in the White House, we're going to need somebody to stay on his ass
and make sure he helps those same people
we're saying he's promising he's going to help.
Let's apply pressure.
But let's support getting
him in there. At least
he's committing to doing something for us.
Trump isn't doing anything.
You know why Joe Biden
committed to doing something
for us? Because we've been applying pressure.
We were applying pressure about him picking a black woman running mate.
We were applying pressure about him having a black agenda.
Thank you for calling, man.
I want people to go over there and vote for Trump.
Let's get him in there.
Who's doing that?
Guys, this is a four-hour show.
I don't know if you guys know.
Who's influencing people to vote for Trump?
And I'm going to tell you the other thing.
Not only do I apply pressure
because I want Joe Biden to do what he said
he's going to do. I want Joe Biden
to do things that's going to make people get off
their ass and vote in November. Because guess
what? 4.4 million
people who voted in 2012 stayed home
in 2016. A third of them
were black. And a lot of those people still feel
like candidates like Joe Biden aren't
doing enough or saying enough in regards to
their interests. So yes, I'd be on Joe
Biden's ass and Senator Harris' ass
about putting things out there
for us as a people. So on November 3rd,
we ain't got no excuses.
Alright. Get it off your chest.
Y'all so scared of the white man.
Why y'all be scared of the white man?
Now we got rumors on the way. We'll tell you who just
picked up a $36 million home,
two guest house, swimming pool, tennis court, and Bel Air.
We'll tell you about it.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
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. Now how about this, Charlamagne?
LeBron James just paid $36 million for a new home in L.A.
You got it.
Now this home, he makes $37 million a year from the NBA,
but he bought this house for $36 million.
It's a Beverly Hills mansion.
It's 9,100 square feet.
It has two guest homes,
swimming pool,
tennis court,
two and a half acres.
And they said the views are crazy.
They said the previous owner
is soap opera royalty,
Lee Phillip Bell.
You know who that is?
Mm-mm.
She's the one that created
both the bold and the beautiful
and the young and the restless.
Oh, she's a whole legend.
She done kept our grandparents
entertained for years.
Salute to her. Yeah, she passed away and the estate had the house and they, she's a whole legend. She done kept our grandparents entertained for years. Salute to her.
Yeah, she passed away and the estate had the house
and they sold it to LeBron James.
Well, sounds to me like LeBron James isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Sounds like the kids will be growing up in L.A.,
graduating from L.A., all of that good stuff.
Salute to LeBron.
And that's his third home in L.A. that he owns currently.
Now, Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, they shared some devastating news yesterday.
They lost their third child.
Chrissy put on Instagram, we are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about,
the kind of pain we've never felt before.
We were never able to stop the bleeding because she talked about the bleeding
and give our baby the fluids he needed.
Despite bags and bags of blood transfusion, wasn't enough so horrible i can't imagine i
don't want to imagine i mean you know you carry a baby for eight nine months you start doing all
the preparations you probably got the room ready you got toys people sending you stuff on the
registry and then that happens that that's that's got to be beyond heartbreaking yeah you don't you
don't well i didn't necessarily realize
how hard it was to have a child,
especially because I have so many and it was so easy
until we tried to have Brooklyn, which was the last one.
And right before Brooklyn, you know,
Gia and I had a miscarriage.
It wasn't as late, but it was more difficult than before.
And we, you know, it was, we understood
and we've heard so many stories of women having miscarriages and didn't know how
to take it.
So it is a big thing.
So definitely praying for John Legend and Chrissy Teigen.
A hundred percent.
On the other note,
another note,
Usher welcomes a daughter,
Sovereign Bo Raymond.
So we got to congratulate to Usher.
And also Kevin Hart and wife,
Aniko.
They welcome their baby girl,
Kaori My Heart.
So congratulations to them.
Salute to the hearts.
Drop on the clues box for the hearts.
That's life, man.
That's life and that's death.
Sadly.
You know, prayers up for John Legend and Chrissy Teigen.
And prayers up for ushering, you know, his family and Kevin and Aniko and their family.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Prayers up for everybody. Now, also, you know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely.
Now also, I don't know if you watch this show, I really love this show, it's called Storage Wars, do you ever watch that?
No.
Well, they're saying a storage container
that, well, how Storage Wars works
is they pretty much
auction off storage containers when people don't
pay it, so when people die or they don't have money
and they don't pay their storage containers anymore,
they auction it off and you never know what's inside. So one person purchased
the storage container. It had, it was all Kobe Bryant memorabilia. So it was like 35 pairs of
shoes. It was jerseys. It was Lakers practice gears. There was a Lakers all access badge that
said Mamba. There was tax paperwork and more. They believe it was probably one of Kobe Bryant's
storage containers. So the lady had bought it was probably one of Kobe Bryant's storage containers.
So the lady had bought it and found out that Vanessa Bryant really wanted information and really wanted the stuff that was in there.
So the reps reached out to the person that purchased it, and they gave it back.
So that was pretty cool.
God bless her.
All that stuff back, yeah.
God bless her.
Did she give it back for free?
They didn't say.
They said a number of personal items, worn items and paperwork were sold.
Well, they were sold directly back to the Bryant family.
So it was sold.
Interesting.
I wonder if you was in that situation,
would you sell the memorabilia back to the family
or would you just give it back to the family?
I'm going to be honest with you.
The type of person I am,
I would have just given it back to the family.
Only because it doesn't necessarily feel,
it doesn't feel like it belongs to me.
Plus, you know, due to the circumstances
of Kobe's tragic passing,
I would have just given it back to the family.
Personally, that's me.
Yeah, but the person who,
because sometimes when they do these storage containers,
you don't know how much a person has.
So if you pay $3,000 for this container,
you might not have the money.
You might invest it all in getting it back though.
Listen, I'm not mad at the woman for what she did.
Was it a woman, a guy, a girl? I didn't hear
that part.
The person's name was Renee, but Renee could be a woman
or a man, but it was a woman. I'm not mad
at Renee for, you know, whatever
she decided to do with Kobe's memorabilia. I'm just
saying what I think I would do in that situation.
I'm not mad at what
Renee did, though.
Alright, well that is your rumor report.
Now when we come back, we got front page news.
We'll tell you about Donald Trump and I'm proud.
I'm a good old proud boy.
So we'll talk about it when we come back.
I'm a black and proud boy.
I'm a black and proud boy.
Well, you ain't one of those good old proud boys.
So we'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest on the line. We have Congressman Cedric Richmond. Welcome, brother.
Good morning to you. How are you this morning?
How are you doing?
What's up, King? We had a very entertaining debate last night. Do you think it was productive? No, I really don't. I think that the vice president
went in and wanted to debate issues and show the American people the difference between
he and his opponent, but I don't think he got that chance. And then it just turned into
an unfortunate freefall with just blatant lies. And, you know, you saw it.
And what is your actual role in the Biden campaign?
I know you represent Louisiana in the second congressional district in the House of Representatives.
What's your role in the Biden campaign?
I'm co-chair and I've been co-chair since the day we launched.
And now we have some other co-chairs. But for a long time, it was just us.
Steve Ricchetti, the chair and I, the entire primary.
But I've been there from the beginning at the inner circle, helping guide the campaign and, of course, set policy and priority.
What are some things about Joe Biden that you think that people don't know that they should know when coming up to this election day?
The first thing I say is, you know, he is who he appears to be, and that is a person who cares.
He's not a person that is right 100 percent of the time and is perfect, but he is a person who strives to get things right and he strives to help other people's lives. So what I was amazed about is,
as we started this campaign, we would go places and we would work rope lines. So after he speaks
at an event with a couple hundred people, they all come up, and he will not leave until he shakes
every hand and listens to every story. And if there's a kid who stutters, he's going to get
his personal phone number, and he's going to call him later to say, look, I stuttered.
You can still achieve anything you want to achieve.
If he runs into a woman with cancer, he's going to talk to her about the progress we're making with the cancer moonshot and the fact that he lost a son to cancer and that, you know, he's thinking about her and he may drop her a note or call her. The point of it is, you know, in politics, you know, you see people,
but you don't get to know them.
And watching him that he really, really cares was, you know,
a pleasant surprise in terms of politicians.
So, you know,
that's what I think people really should know is that he cares and he wants
to improve the lives of others.
Well, how though, like for any black person who feels like, you know, they want to stay home in November, right? Because, you know,
we talk about the 4.4 million people who voted in 2012 that didn't show up in 2016, a third of them
were black. And everybody's saying, oh, voters already got their mind made up. They know they're
going to go Biden. They know they're going to go Trump. What about the person who doesn't feel
like they want to vote at all? What is the one thing you would tell that black voter they should show up for?
Well, show me you're right. And but it's not just the black voter who will stay at home. It's also
that black voter in 2016 that voted for Jill Stein at a third party candidate because Hillary nor
Trump were good enough. And so we're talking to both of them. So here's that short answer,
and especially for black people. It's about being co-architect of our own future. And so we're talking to both of them. So here's that short answer, and especially for Black people. It's about being co-architects of our own future. And so that means a presidential
plan that will, on day one, triple funding the Title I schools, which means those schools in
affluent neighborhoods that have $23 billion more funding than schools in our neighborhood.
We level that playing field from day one.
And then we go on to do a whole bunch of things. And look, I just have to say this. We have an
aggressive criminal justice reform platform. We have an aggressive police reform platform.
But those are not the only two things that African-Americans think about in this country.
It is about economic empowerment. Black men want to
be good fathers. Black men want to be head to their household. And so we have to talk about
entrepreneurship. We have to talk about how to give access to capital. We have to talk about
college education and making sure it's affordable. So then you look at the $70 billion that we want
to put into HBCUs or the home ownership program we want to do, which would allow black people to pass wealth on from generation to generation.
And then I'll just close with this, gentlemen.
We're also the pledge was to make sure that we have the most diverse cabinet in the history of the United States, because what we do know is that we're not going to impose our beliefs on the black community. We want black thought leaders at the table help devising how to empower black
people, not other people telling black people how to empower black people, but black people doing it.
You know, last night was a 90-minute debate. And with everything facing black people in America just this year in 2020, they spoke on race for like one hundred and three seconds.
Why aren't our issues better represented?
Well, first of all, it was a BS from the start. And this is not the Biden position.
So I just want to be clear about this. This is Cedric Richmond's position for Chris Wallace in the subject matters, race and violence together is offensive and racist from the start.
So when we got the chart saying the subject matters we will cover,
so it was like COVID unemployment, Supreme court, race slash violence.
That's leading. That's leading.
And that's just the type of, of things that we kind of deal with.
But look, people are still in this country uncomfortable talking about race.
They're uncomfortable talking about systematic racism. They're uncomfortable talking about white supremacy.
We saw what Trump did last night with that question. But this country is still, even after the George Floyd inflection
point, they're still uncomfortable talking about it. And so that's why you see just such a small
portion of time dedicated to race or black issues, let alone no conversation about equity. And so
that's where we find ourselves. What did you think about when President
Trump brought up Joe Biden's son and some of the things he said about his son, you know, being
hooked on drugs and being kicked out of the army? How did he say it? He was like, well,
dishonorable discharge, dishonorable discharge. One, I think that that part is incorrect. But
the main point that Hunter Biden suffered from substance abuse and was addicted to drugs was true.
And the vice president admitted it. But in a country right now where we have an opioid crisis facing this country to still dehumanize or pick on people because of a substance abuse problem, I think shows why he should not be president.
And so whether it's opioids or other drugs, America has a substance abuse problem. And
we have a plan to address opioid addiction and others. And it just shows that this president
is not ready to leave. But it also shows that Vice President Biden, you know, he's honest,
and he admitted it.
As hard as it was to look at the camera knowing that your grandkids are watching, that Hunter's children are watching, he had and he did admit that their family has dealt with that, and
he beat it, and he's proud of them.
So just like in our communities, look, we all have that relative that we know is addicted to something,
and we don't stop loving them.
What we do is try to double down and continue to help them, even if it's hard.
All right, we got more with Congressman Cedric Richmond.
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.
Angela Yee is on vacation, so let's get in some front page news.
Now, in sports, last night the Lakers beat the Miami Heat.
They lead the series 1-0.
The score was 116-98.
Did you see the game?
I saw the first three quarters, and then I went to sleep
because the Lakers was busting their ass.
Definitely busting their ass.
I can see the Lakers sweeping Miami,
especially after I don't know how serious Jimmy Butler's injury is.
Bam was injured last night.
And somebody else from the Heat got an injury.
I don't know how serious those injuries are,
but I can see the Lakers sweeping the Heat.
All right.
And also, Sunday's game between the Pittsburgh Steelers
and the Tennessee Titans has been postponed to either Monday or Tuesday,
assuming no more positive tests from now until game time.
So we'll see if that has to be moved or if they will play that actual game.
Now, your president, during the debate, he talked about white supremacy,
and this is what he said.
I would say almost everything I see is from the left wing, not from the right wing.
So what are you saying?
I'm willing to do anything.
I want to see peace.
Then do it, sir.
Say it.
Do it.
Say it.
What do you want to call him?
Give me a name.
Give me a name.
White supremacist and right supremacist.
White supremacist and right supremacist.
Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.
But I'll tell you what.
I'll tell you what.
Somebody's got to do something about Antifa and the left.
Antifa is an idea, not an organization.
Oh, you got to be kidding me.
Not militia.
That's what his FBI director said.
I don't know anybody who's a part of Antifa.
When I hear Antifa, I think that's Monifa's cousin.
Matter of fact, Antifa sounds like insurance.
I would just think as a black person,
I would know at least one person who's a member of Antifa.
I don't know anybody that's in Antifa.
Do you?
I don't.
I would think I would know at least one Antifa member.
I don't know anybody that's a member of Antifa.
Only time I hear Antifa is from the mouth of them white people.
Well, yesterday he was asked about the Proud Boys.
So I guess the Proud Boys, are they a white supremacy group?
What are the Proud Boys?
I have no idea.
I don't know.
They're classified as a far-right
extremist group, but
I don't know who they are.
Bunch of white people that need to stay out of my way?
God damn right. Sounds like me.
Well, when I was asked about the proud boys yesterday,
this is what he said. I don't know who the proud boys
are. I mean, you'll have to give me a definition,
because I really don't know who they are. I can only
say they have to stand down, let law enforcement do their work. As people see
how bad this radical liberal Democrat movement is and how weak the law enforcement is going
to come back stronger and stronger. I've always denounced any form of any of that.
You have to denounce. But I also Joe Biden has to say something about Antifa. It's not
a philosophy.
These are people that hit people over the head with baseball bats.
He didn't say stand by this time.
I don't know anything about the Proud Boys.
I've heard about them, but are they like a secret organization?
Are they open with the banging?
What have they done?
Do they have a sign, a symbol, a dance?
How do they identify themselves?
I don't know.
What kind of dance would they have? Like a't know. What kind of dance would they have?
Like a cowboy dance?
Like, what kind of dance are you expecting?
I have no idea, but I tell you what, Proud Boys,
don't let your president cause you to get your head busted, okay?
Not to mention, one of the Proud Boy members I read about,
his name was Alan Swinney.
He was 50 years old.
You're not a boy.
You're a whole grown-ass man, okay? And those bones and wounds,
those bones and wounds are not going to heal the way they used to.
Okay?
You're 50 years old running around
talking about you a proud boy.
All right.
All right.
Well, that is your front page news.
Now, when we come back,
Congressman Cedric Richmond will be joining us.
He's the co-chair of Joe Biden's campaign.
And what else do we know about Cedric Richmond, Charlemagne?
Cedric Richmond is a congressman.
He's a congressman from Louisiana.
All right.
And he's a brother.
So we'll talk to him when we come back.
He goes viral a lot because he be snapping on folks.
But Cedric is a good person to have a conversation with.
He's basically the coach.
He's like the second, maybe second in command.
I don't know.
He's high up there in the body campaign.
Okay.
All right.
So we'll talk to him when we come back to Don't Move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
And next hour, since Angela Yee is not here, ask C and E.
So if you need relationship advice or any type of advice,
you can start getting on the phone lines right now, all right?
So if you need any.
Why would you ask us anything?
We don't know who the co-chair is. We don't know what a co-chair is.
We don't know what a co-chair is.
We don't know what a Proud Boy is.
We don't know about Antifa.
What would they ask us?
We got eight kids between us both, you know?
You've been married a long time.
I've been married a long time.
I think we know a couple of things, don't you think?
Okay, okay.
All right, I'm with that.
All right, so we'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Gee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Right now, we're kicking it with Congressman Cedric Richmond, who's also the co-chair of
Joe Biden's campaign. Charlamagne? So, Cedric, do you think we should have more debates? Because
I don't think we should. I think it's pointless. Just me, not the campaign.
I would not debate Trump again without a fact checker.
But when you're the candidate, if there's a match, you're going to show up and you're going to get into the ring.
But I think that they have to make some real changes to that format.
Look, my grandmother always told me, never argue with a fool.
Because from a distance, you
can't tell who's who.
And so, if you jump in
that ring and all hell breaks loose
like it did, it really diminishes
you, because you're,
whether you want to or not, you're going
to be taken down to
his level. And so, I
do have that real concern.
You know, another question I'd love for you to
give me some clarity on, because I thought this was going to be a slam dunk for him to nail Trump
on the $750 in taxes that he paid. But Trump flipped it and said it was Obama's policies
that enabled him to get a $73 million tax refund. So was it Obama's stimulus policies that led to
the Obama IRS writing a check back
to Trump? Because Biden didn't dispute that. No, it wasn't. It was the fact that the system
has always been rigged for those who can write off expenses, defer depreciation, and do all of
those things. Now, were there some things in the Obama tax bill that Donald Trump was probably able to
take advantage of? Absolutely. But remember, we were coming out of the worst recession in the
Great Depression. We were trying to jumpstart an economy. So we had not only the stimulus package,
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, we also did, or they did at the time,
some creative stuff in taxes to keep
businesses afloat, keep people employed, which is why you saw towards the end of their presidency,
record job growth, and us turn it around, which Donald Trump squandered. But for an American
president to stand up there and be gleeful and boastful about the fact that he's rich and he doesn't pay taxes when he pays less taxes than a school teacher,
all the frontline workers that are out there risking their lives, I thought that was just an insult to injury. So, you know, that's partly why the first thing we want to do is repeal the Trump tax cuts
and invest that money into other things that will improve the lives of the other 99 percent and not the top 1 percent.
I agree with that. But isn't it hypocritical to nail, to try to nail somebody for something that an administration you was a part of implemented?
Well, it goes back further than that. And no, I don't think it's hypocritical.
You know, if you look at the whole article,
there are a whole bunch of things
that Trump took advantage of.
So if we cannot rely on Trump's assertion
that he used the Obama-era tax rules to do that,
he's a liar and a cheat.
And I don't believe his taxes are on the up and up.
I think he'll write down whatever he
needs to write down, like the $70,000 on hair or whatever that mess was in order to take a
deduction or a break. You know, Trump is telling his folks to show up to the polls. You know,
he said that last night. He actually told some of his supporters to go to the polls and
basically disrupt things, you know. But Democrats are telling folks to do mail-in ballots and absentee ballots. What is more effective?
Look, I am stressing where you have early in-person early vote. That's what I'm pushing
because one, you can social distance. The lines are not that long and there's no doubt that your
vote counts. And so with mail-in ballots,
which is accurate, you know, I don't have a fear there, but my fear is that if you don't get the
form exactly right, that Republicans are going to be challenging your ballot. So you trust mail-in
ballots? I do. I trust mail-in ballots, but here's the part that scares me is that Republicans are going to challenge every Democratic mail-in ballot to see if my grandmother left off a line that needed to be filled out.
Or in some states where you have to do it in blacking, not bluing, they'll challenge the
ballot. So if you're going to do a mail-in ballot, look, go to YouTube. We have an IWillVote.com that you can go to to make sure that you fill the ballot out exactly right so that we know that it will be counted.
And so if you're going to do mail-in ballot, which is safe, just make sure you dot all your I's and cross all your T's.
Besides fact-checking, which you said earlier, after last night's debate, what do y'all go back to the drawing board and say,
you know what, we have to do this differently.
We have to make sure for the next time this has to be done this way.
What do y'all talk about to make sure that
whatever happened in the last one doesn't happen again?
To make sure we don't go to Trump's level.
We are classier than he is.
And, you know, it's that saying about wrestling with a pig.
You both get money, but the pig enjoys it.
And making sure that the public understands the difference.
I mean, this guy still will not own the fact that we have over 200,000 people dead because he's incompetent.
He knew. He lied.
He covered it up all so that he could protect his economy and protect Wall Street.
And so, you know, we're paying a dear price for that.
So all of these people that are catching hell homeschooling, that's his fault.
Those people that are unemployed right now, that's his fault.
Those people who have lost a loved one, that is his fault.
It is the coronavirus, but it is the Trump incompetence that put us in this position.
And I don't think that we talked about that enough last night or made it clear enough that it should have been handled better.
We did it with Ebola and we should have been able to do it with coronavirus.
Do you think that the vice president's answer or non-answer about support he receives from the police will hurt him?
No, the fact that we don't have a bunch of police union support, I don't think it hurts us. I think
that what it means is that after George Floyd, after all of these incidents where unarmed
African-Americans found themselves dead or injured, I think that it means that Vice President Biden
stood up and spoke his truth, which
is this has to stop, that there is systematic racism in policing.
And yes, that cost him some support in police unions.
However, he is.
That's the answer, though.
That was the answer, Cedric.
That's the answer.
Like, why couldn't he reply like that?
If he replied like that, people sitting back and be like, oh, yeah, he did speak up for, you know, the protesters in the street.
He did speak up for unarmed black and brown people.
That's why the police won't support him.
I want to ask you a couple more questions.
How can a black person in good conscience be a member of the Democratic or Republican Party?
Because I just don't ever feel like our issues, our interests are represented in either.
The basic principle of the Democratic Party is that we understand that government is here to help people, especially when they can't help themselves.
Sometimes people get knocked down where they don't have the capacity to help themselves back up.
So whether it was Hurricane Katrina or Rita, Hurricane Sandy, or the wildfires or COVID,
where you see an economy destroyed, you see people out of work. What we believe in as Democrats is,
yes, we're going to try to help people lift themselves back up. So that means right now,
if we have to expand food stamps, as people would call them, like it's a bad thing,
then that's what we're going to do because we understand that people are in food
pantry lines and it's not their fault it is the fault of the federal government
who couldn't contain coronavirus if people are unemployed we're gonna expand
unemployment benefits so people can pay their rent their mortgage or whatever
else now the other part is we're to empower people and give them the ability to chart their own path towards a future.
Now, does every party get it right? Is the legislative system a very frustrating system?
Absolutely. I enjoyed being an electrician much better than a legislator.
Because when I was an electrician, at the end of the day, I flipped the switch fan came on the light came on i saw the progress in uh the legislature sometimes you will go years it took me almost six years
to repeal the mandatory life sentence for first offense heroin in louisiana six years but we got
it done and the 52 guys that were doing life for first arrest of distribution of heroin got to come home.
And so, you know, it's a frustrating process, but it's the government we have.
And I believe that the Democratic Party truly cares about uplifting people
and helping people when they can't help themselves.
All right. When we come back, we got more with Congressman Cedric Richmond.
So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Gee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Right now, we're kicking it with Congressman
Cedric Richmond, who's also the co-chair of Joe Biden's campaign. Charlamagne?
How many guns do you own right now, Cedric? Especially after hearing Donald Trump tell,
you know, the proud boys to be on standby. You a Louisiana man.
How many guns do you own?
I have one gun, and I'm looking at purchasing another. And the unfortunate part is I saw a movie the other day,
and I just decided that with the chaos going on,
the firearm that that person had that I want.
What kind of firearm was this?
Was it a Desert Eagle?
40 caliber? What was it? No, there's two that I want. What kind of firearm was this? Was it a Desert Eagle? 40 caliber? What was it?
No, there's two that I want.
One is the Judge. I don't know if you've ever
seen it. It's a handgun.
It's a revolver that can shoot either
a.45 bullet
or it can shoot, I think, a
.401 shotgun shell.
That way, if you're
home, I just go back to that scene
in Boys in the Hood where
Lawrence Fishburne shoots straight through the front
door. If you're coming in my house,
I'm going to assume that you are
full, and I don't
want to necessarily have to be the,
you know, aim the best.
So that revolver with shotgun shells
in it, I think will... It spreads, yeah.
Why do people think Democrats are anti-Second Amendment?
I don't know.
Look, the best hunter and shooter in Congress is a guy named Benny Thompson,
a black guy from Mississippi.
And so I don't know why people assume that we're not for the Second Amendment.
But everything has limits.
You can't have a bazooka.
I mean, it'd be cool to own a bazooka, but you can't. And so you can't have an M-16. So at some point, weapons are weapons of mass destruction, not the Second Amendment.
And think about this. When they wrote the Second Amendment, there was no such thing as the AR-15. There was no such thing as the M-16. So the framers of the Constitution were not talking about guns that could cause that much carnage in such little time.
So, you know, I don't know why, but to have some reasonable gun reform, like closing the Charleston loophole,
where this kid sat in that church and he said the people were so nice to him that he had second thoughts before he
murdered them. And you mean to tell me we can't just, if your background check doesn't come back
in 72 hours, you have to have that gun? Well, let me just tell you something from my neighborhood.
The person who needs a gun immediately is the person that shouldn't have a gun because something
is wrong if you want a gun and you cannot wait to get it. And so those are the types of things I think we just have to talk to the American people that it's just common sense.
And so, you know, I don't know why Democrats get the probably because we let them say it.
You know, if you let people say stuff over and over again, people will start to believe it.
It's why Muhammad Ali always said he was the greatest.
Report asked him why he said, if I say it enough, people will believe it.
Yeah, that's my that's always my biggest issue with the Democrats is the messaging, you know, always said he was the greatest. The reporter asked him why. He said, if I say it enough, people will believe it.
Yeah, that's always my biggest issue with the Democrats is the messaging.
You know, and, like, that's why I thought the debates would have maybe,
you know, done Vice President Biden some good.
But do you think people who viewed the debate gained any clarity or answers?
No.
Yeah, I do. I think they gained some answers around COVID-19 and his incompetence and the fact that he still does not have a plan for how you open back up government.
He has this make-believe, and I thought one of Biden's good lines was when he jabbed him on the fact that he said drink disinfectant or bleach.
I mean, this president has no clue in how to handle the pandemic because he and his circle of friends, they made about $300 billion during this pandemic.
Our circle of friends, they're hurting.
And so I think that that was one of the biggest differences in the debate besides the fact that this president can't condemn white supremacy.
And he's going to rush through a Supreme Court pick that is adverse to Roe v. Wade.
But you know what question all of his Supreme Court picks do not answer? Brown versus Board
of Education and other issues, Miranda. All of those cases and most of the gains that we made
during the Civil Rights Movement came from the Supreme Court. So that means the Supreme Court can reverse them.
And I don't trust this president and his private conversations or his agenda.
Gotcha.
Just my final question.
How do you think the outcome of this debate helped or harmed Biden?
Because even when I was watching, you know, cable news last night, CNN,
they were saying, like, it's not like Biden was good.
It's just that Trump was so bad.
A lot of people thought that Vice President Biden would not be able to hold his own,
would not be able to stand up.
And I think he did that last night, and he did it well.
But what I think that the biggest thing that comes out of the debate is that around the world,
they're probably looking at us and laughing at America,
just like they laughed at Donald Trump
and were caught on tape, the world leaders. And so our standing in the world is going in the
opposite direction. And that does not make us safer. For a lot of people who may be in a position
that they were in with Hillary and Trump and not excited about either. I think last night was a
moment of clarity that one guy is just bat crap crazy
and the other guy is genuinely concerned about their well-being
and has a plan to get America moving back in the right direction.
So I think it will lock in our soft support
and it will make others give us a second look.
When I look at guys like you, I see the future.
When I look at Senator Harris, I see the future. I just don't see the future. I didn't see the future on that stage. I actually
saw it in America. I'm so tired of it. I will give you the visual was two older white men.
However, one of those white men picked a black woman to be his running mate. And one of those
white men vowed very early on to make sure that he will put a black woman on the Supreme Court,
because that's a one is a segment of the population that's been holding us down for a long time.
But two, it's a segment of the population that has never had a voice on the highest court in the land.
And I think that if you look at those commitments, that speaks to who he is,
along with the fact that he wants to have the most diverse
candidate in the history of
America. And look, his
Lift Every Voice agenda, it is
the most ambitious Black
agenda of any presidential
candidate in the history
of America. If we get
Joe Biden and Senator Harris in the White House
and, you know, the Black
agenda, criminal justice reform, prison reform, all of these things.
If they don't get done, you blame you, Congressman Tedrich Richmond, because you are the hood black whisperer in that White House.
We have to blame you. Don't cry now.
Look, I'll take that. And if we get in and we can't expand funding to Title I schools,
create economic empowerment for black men and black businesses,
if we can't do more to protect, look, it should be low-hanging fruit
that black people can live their lives without being shot or killed by the police.
That should not be asking a lot.
Criminal justice reform, making sure that it makes sense,
holding prosecutors accountable so that white
kids don't get diversion at drug court and black kids get a plea bargain.
If we can't accomplish those things, look, I will take the charge.
I'll take the lick because I deserve it.
I am vouching for this vice president.
I believe when we get in office, we're going to be able to accomplish those things to move
the black community forward deliberately.
Well, thank you for joining us, Congressman Cedric Richmond.
We appreciate you for checking in.
Don't let this be the last time, man.
We got, what, 35 more days before the election?
We got 35 days.
I'll come on after Senator Harris does her thing next Wednesday.
So I know she's going to show up and show out and do a really good job
and show America what she's made of and what
black woman magic is. So, you know, we can do it right after that. All right. Sounds good.
Thank you for checking in, brother. Thank you. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be
the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors. Angela Yee is on vacation.
Let's talk Mariah Carey.
It's time.
She's spilling the tea.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Now, Charlamagne, when Mariah Carey says honey dip skin,
who do you think she's talking about? Man, shut up, man. Tell the goddamn story. Now, Mariah Carey says Honey dip skin, who you think she's talking about?
Man, shut up man
Tell the goddamn story
Now Mariah Carey
I'm not, I'm just saying what she says
Mariah Carey is opening up about her first sexual experience
With Derek Jeter
Going as far as to call him
The honey dip skin
Now in her new book, The Meaning of Mariah Carey
She says when they first met
They didn't hit it off right away.
She said it wasn't until they shared their experiences about being biracial
that Mariah Carey saw Jada as Prince Charming.
Oh, that's amazing.
Biracial love.
You want to know about their sex life?
Now, they said the two began to secretly talk.
Why are you talking like this?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It just feels like I should be.
All right. Why are you talking like this? I don't know It just feels like I should be The two begin to simply talk
Shed a warm, slow, intoxicating kiss
On Jada's roof
You're a Yankee fan, right?
Which inspired her song, The Roof
Yes, I am
You sound like you've masturbated to a Derek Jada jersey or two
What is wrong with you?
They said they never took it further
Because neither of them wanted to cheapen their romance by cheating on
her marriage. So when the relationship
was over with Tommy Mottola, they started
dating. Everything was so new and
sweet down to the smooth texture
of his honey-dipped skin.
It was how it was supposed to feel.
That's all you got? I don't know.
First of all, there's no human alive
that is the complexion of honey. I'm thinking,
let me think, who's the complexion of honey? I can't think of nobody that's the complexion of honey. I'm thinking, let me think. Who's the complexion of honey?
I can't think of nobody that's the complexion of honey.
Me, hello.
Honey-dipped skin.
I got like honey-dipped skin.
Honey ain't yellow.
You the color of dirty urine.
You got dirty urine-dipped skin.
Anyway, back to my story.
TJ, you got dirty urine-dipped skin.
Back to my story.
When you don't drink enough water.
Carrie called the experience so sensual
and admitted he was the only, the only, the
second guy she had slept with.
Carrie knew it wasn't going to last, saying
that they were both huge stars that could not live up
to each other's fantasy, but they both
fulfilled each other's needs at the time.
DJ was a love in my life,
not of my life.
What do you mean you can't live up to the fantasy?
I don't know. Why
them being stars can't live up to the fantasy?
Is this Mariah Carey book out?
I need to read it.
I've been wanting to read Mariah Carey book.
It actually sounds amazing.
Is it out?
No, no, I don't think it's out yet.
Well, they putting out too much because I feel like I didn't read the book.
I want to read the book.
Just give me the goddamn book.
When does it drop?
Do we know?
No, I don't know.
It sounds interesting.
I want to read it.
Now, Bryson Tiller releases his album tomorrow.
It's called Anniversary anniversary he had a zoom
session with some of his fans where they could listen to some of the album of course his uh fans
recorded some of it and one of the records that everybody's talking about is bryson tiller

Lately, I'm not sure
One thing for sure
Is when we're together
The toxic is ever
Make no mistake
All the roles need to be shared and be together
Why would you yawn like that?
Maybe that wasn't in reference to that record.
I don't think it was in reference to that record, though.
I'm just tired.
I'm going to check Bryson Tiller out.
I'm an R&B fan.
Do you ever feel bad when Bryson Tiller drops music
because you were supposed to sign him?
Not that I was supposed to sign him.
His honey-dipped skin? Shut up. My intern, his name is Neil. because uh you were supposed to sign him not that i was looking at his honey dipped skin
shut up my intern uh his name is neil shout to neil actually manages him and was trying to bring
him to me but you know dealing with artists artists are crazy so i was just i just necessarily
didn't listen but um and andre harrell the same andre harrell didn't listen either and he got
signed and he's doing big things so i'm proud of both bryson tiller and uh neil so continue to do your rest in peace andre harrell yes keep doing your thing
bryson i'll be checking out the album tomorrow and also lastly ti appeared on all deaf digital's arts
and raps and he got uh interviewed by two kids named dylan and zaraya and they didn't take it
easy on him and they asked him some questions like this what do they call you rubber band okay okay we'll see in a land far far far
away he called Hamilton Road times before I was doing what I'm doing right
now I I had to I had to kind of fulfill my financial needs in the area of manufacturing and distribution of illegal
pharmaceuticals. Big words we don't even understand. Well, you know what? Don't even worry about it.
Let's just say I had to keep my money in my pockets neat. So what would you do if some kids
asked you about your old past? I'm gonna be honest with you, man. Nothing makes you feel dumber than
telling kids you used to sell drugs
or any of the crimes that you used to commit because
explaining the old you,
the people, especially kids,
it's awkward and dumb. It makes you
feel awkward and dumb because as you are
explaining it, your brain and heart start
to compute to you how stupid
you used to be. How dumb it was. Absolutely.
Yeah, so it's actually the kind of stuff
that brings you to tears in therapy.
You know, sometimes it's tears of sadness,
you know, and sometimes it's tears of joy.
And it just makes you feel dumb, you know,
when you're talking to kids about your past.
But, I mean, that's why I write books, okay?
That's why I wrote Black Privilege,
Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It.
And that's why I wrote Shook One,
Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me,
because you purge.
You get it all out.
The good,
the so-called good,
the so-called bad,
the so-called ugly,
and you let people learn from that.
But when I'm sitting down
talking to kids,
I'd rather talk from
the place where I am now
in my life,
the brother who
has been to therapy,
the brother who has
a sacred purpose coach,
the brother who's
faithful to his wife,
who has kids,
who has grown,
who has evolved because my understanding of myself and life is much better now than
trying to explain from that perspective when I was in the street being a dumbass knucklehead
and not even in the street two, 10 years ago.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it's just, it's just a matter of telling them your experience.
So hopefully they learn from your, your bad experiences and the same thing I do the same.
And even with my kids, just let them know the truth.
I'm not proud of it,
but I want them to know
to be like,
Daddy did some dumbish
and, you know,
thank God Daddy's still here
because of it.
Yeah, and not even
when you're talking about it
from the perspective
of being in the street,
like I said,
even if it's just 10 years ago
and I'm talking about
how we used to be
to the public.
You know what I mean?
On radio, whatever,
podcasts,
you feel stupid.
You're like,
God dang it.
And you can't tell them that story because kids are very impressionable.
So they think they can do that same BS you did, whether it was from the street
or whether you was doing what you was doing in entertainment,
and they think it's going to work for them.
It's not going to work that way for you because you're not me.
That's right.
And I still got my ass kicked quite a few times out here.
I sure did. Absolutely.
You know what I mean.
And that is your rumor report. MRI
carries book is out right now. So if you order it on
Amazon, you'll get it by the second or third,
which is there too.
So you can pick up that book. I need to get that book.
I think my wife ordered it for me because I went to
go look on my phone just now and it says arrives
Saturday, October 3rd. So she'll do
like when she hear me say I want a book, she always order it for me okay all right well that is your rumor
report now who you giving that donkey to uh four after the hour uh usps is getting donkey of the
day we really need to have this conversation this conversation is stemming from something
that happened in florida but it's a teachable moment a larger conversation to be had because
i think this is some foreshadowing that people with foreskin need to listen to.
Oh, boy.
All right, we'll get into that next.
And also, don't forget, as C&E is after that,
so if you need relationship advice or any type of advice,
get on them phone lines right now.
Charlamagne and I help you out.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
You get donkey at a date with you dumb ass.
You get donkey at a date with you dumb ass. You are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day, huh?
I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
They want this man to throw them blows, man.
They waiting for Charlamagne to tap them gloves.
Let's go.
They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day.
They chose you.
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Who's Donkey of the Day today? Donkey of the donkey of the day. They chose you. I got you. To the breakfast club, bitches.
Who's donkey of the day today?
Donkey of the day for Thursday, October 1st.
God damn it, it's the 1st of October.
I truly cannot believe it's October,
and I have to stop saying God damn it,
but I truly cannot believe it's October.
We've really been in the house for over six months.
Yes, we have.
Unbelievable.
But donkey of the day for Thursday, October 1st 1st is going to usps for all you individuals who
trust mail-in voting who think that your votes will be counted by mail and get there on time
one you believe in america and its institutions way more than i ever could all right salute to
your patriotism and two in this era when we know folks be cheating when it comes to elections if you are
an able-bodied human being who is able to get up and go cast your vote in person do it and this
story is a prime example why i see sue burgess of rich man of florida she won the lottery okay a
thousand dollars to be exact one rack one stack a grand in her hand she won in a second chance
lottery drawing drop one of clues bombs for sue burgess one thousand dollars is a nice chunk of
change you can get some bills paid get some rent paid put some food on the table an extra thousand
dollars in your pocket is good money okay that's the universal basic income andrew yang wants to
give out everybody wants to give to everybody you you know, once a month, a thousand dollars. Okay. Sue found out she won on July 29th and most people would go to their local lottery office
to claim any prize over $600 in person.
Well, according to Complex, all the locations were closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
July 29th, we was on lockdown.
Okay.
And that left, you know, Sue with only one option, and that's the
option to mail her ticket to the state's headquarters in Tallahassee. Now, imagine being
Sue Burgess, okay? Put yourself in her flip-flops in Florida for one second, please, all right?
Coronavirus pandemic, everything shut down, money tight, you're praying to God for a blessing,
and then boom, $1 thousand dollars in your lap. You
win a thousand dollars in the lottery. Look at God. But the lottery locations are closed. So you,
Sue Burgess, have to either send your ticket in a drop box or certified mail. You choose the latter
because you only had a few days left to get your ticket postmarked and meet the one week time frame
given the winners to claim their prize, and then this happens.
Let's go to WFLA NBC8 for the report, please.
Sue Burgess was overjoyed to win $1,000 in the second-chance lottery for the Monopoly scratch-off game.
Florida Lotto district offices were closed because of COVID, so Sue was told in order
to get her winnings, she could either put the ticket in a local office drop box or send it certified mail to Lotto headquarters in Tallahassee.
She chose what she thought was the safest option.
Her tracking information shows that the ticket made it to the Tallahassee post office at 7.12 a.m. on August 12th.
And even now, more than six weeks later, it's listed as in transit. Since Sue's ticket
didn't arrive, a lot of spokeswoman tells me her money was given to an alternate winner.
The Postal Service tells me they don't know what happened to this package and they're
investigating. Meanwhile, I was able to get the Florida lottery to bend a little. They tell me
that they're not responsible for mistakes from the Postal Service,
but that if this package shows up
and it's postmarked on time,
they will give Sue her $1,000.
USPS done lost Sue's $1,000 ticket.
Sue, I can taste the anxiety
and the disappointment you felt in my mouth right now.
When you fix your mind on something
and you can see it,
visualize it, you start making plans for it. And then it just gets lost like that.
It makes you feel like life sucks. I mean, how bad can things get? All right. The tracking
information showed that the ticket arrived at a post office in Tallahassee at 712 a.m. on August
12th, but it never made its way to the lottery office. All right?
It actually showed her ticket as still in transit, so it was not delivered.
And to add insult to injury, since the ticket never made it to the office on time,
her prize went to an alternate winner.
Somebody else done got Sue's blessing all because of the incompetence of the USPS. I'm saying all that to say this is Florida,
one of the most important swing states in the presidential election.
Florida, do you really trust mail-in ballots?
Everybody out there, do you really trust mail-in ballots?
Now, we had Congressman and Biden co-chair Cedric Richmond on last hour.
He said he trusts mail-in balloting.
Once again, for anybody out there that trusts mail-in balloting,
y'all trust America and this institution way more than I do. And I'm going to tell you why. Trust mail-in balloting. Once again, for anybody out there that trusts mail-in balloting,
y'all trust America and this institution way more than I do.
And I'm going to tell you why.
Granted, Sue probably was just a mistake, but just think about that.
On a random day in July, mail just getting lost. It's been six weeks since that ticket allegedly arrived at the Tallahassee post office.
Who knows what happened to it?
Maybe Sue forgot to sign the back of it and somebody else signed it and claimed the money,
but that couldn't have been the case because it went to an alternative
winner. So scratch that idea.
Random day in July, ticket gets lost.
What's going to happen in November?
See, when I keep telling y'all
that you have way more faith in America and its institutions,
it's because of things like this.
Tuesday night, the celebrity-in-chief,
the highest-ranking white supremacist
in America, Donald J. Trump,
refused to condemn white supremacy.
Even told Vanilla Isis,
aka the Proud Boys,
to stand back, but stand by.
Now let me ask you a question,
because I could be wrong here.
Maybe I didn't notice,
but I didn't see a whole lot of outrage
from the Republicans.
I didn't see a lot of Republicans
coming out to condemn Trump.
Forget politics for a second.
I didn't see a whole lot of people
completely outraged, period, by those comments. I didn't see a whole lot of people completely
outraged, period, by those comments. I mean, of course, the usual suspects in left-wing media,
you know, black folks, minorities. But what I'm talking about is a statement like that from the
president of the United States of America should have had the country in a complete uproar. Like,
everyone and their mother should have been raising holy hell
about that statement, but they didn't.
Envy, did you notice anybody raising real hell
about that statement?
I mean, I'm not talking about the usual suspects,
but just in general.
No, not at all.
You know why?
Because white silence is compliance.
They agree with that fool.
They like that energy.
So with that said,
do you think these sneaky Trump supporters,
these undercover white supremacists who wear cone head hoods at night,
but they're your teachers, lawyers, doctors, CEOs of these Fortune 500 companies,
and USPS workers by day,
do you think these folks want to see you voting against their guy?
Hell no.
They're going to be throwing your votes away, tossing them.
If you think Sue Burgess' lottery ticket got lost in Florida,
wait until mail from high black and brown districts in Florida
goes missing around election time.
You have been warned.
Let's not act like if those lottery offices were open,
Sue wouldn't have been down there ticking her hand, collecting her money, okay?
Mailing in the ticket was a last resort for Sue
because she had no other option.
All you young-ass folks with strong immune systems, put your damn mask on, grab your hand sanitizer and go to the polls on November 3rd.
It's just as essential as the drugstore, the pharmacy, eating outside at a restaurant, going to a club, pulling up to your weed man, pulling up to your pill man, pulling up to your shroom man.
Whatever you've been doing during this pandemic to go outside,
do it to go outside and vote because I don't trust mail-in voting.
Just like poor Sue shouldn't.
And I'm sure at this point doesn't trust the USPS to ever run her that money.
Please give the USPS the sweet sounds of the hammer tones.
Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.
You are the donkey of the day.
Yee-haw.
Yee-haw.
And something tells me it won't be the last time I have to give a USPS donkey of the day
in the next 40 to 50 days.
Also, man, if anybody out there knows Sue Burgess of Ridgeman of Florida, tell her to holler at me.
I feel like she's on Facebook.
I'm not active on Facebook, but I feel like she's on Facebook and flip-flops in Florida.
That's stupid, man.
I just want to highlight her for a second.
That's all.
I want to highlight her.
That's all.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Now, when we come back, ask C&E.
If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
E-J-N-V, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now it's time for Ask C&E.
Angela Yee is out, so Charlamagne and I will be holding it down.
So let's go to the callers.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, I'm Veronica.
Hey, Veronica.
Hey, Veronica.
How are you, queen?
Hey, I'm good.
I'm real good.
I actually had a question for both of y'all,
but Charlamagne, I think, can really get it more than DJ Envy
because he's like a loyal dude.
That's usually how it works.
He's a little what?
I like that last part.
What did you say?
He's a loyal dude.
Oh.
So he's one of those guys.
All right.
So I'm not. That's Alright so go ahead I'm not
That's what she said
I'm not advocating
For what you did in your past
I'm just saying
You got a little more experience
Of not being a good guy
That's true
To being loyal
That's true
I like that last part
That you said
Every man's trip
But
Anywho
Go ahead mama
So
I've been with my dude
Now for six years
And At this point It's like I'm getting on the tired verge Go ahead, mama. So, I've been with my dude now for six years.
And at this point, it's like I'm getting on the tired verge.
Okay, so every once in a while, he may, like I may catch him talking to a girl.
Or I may look in his text messages and see that he was talking to his ex.
Or one night, he didn't even come home.
So, like I'm so tired now because it's like I give all my loyalty to these guys,
and it's like I never get a good return for my loyalty.
It's like every woman that's so loyal, they always run into these dirtbags,
you know, and I'm tired.
You know, I just want to actually really know because this time and this relationship, I can't walk away.
I can't just get up and take off
because I got kids now.
It don't matter. Kids shouldn't make you stay.
If he's being disrespectful and out
all night and not calling you, not telling you
where he is, he's talking to other chicks,
don't let the kids be the reason you stay and keep getting
hurt. That's not even
the issue because he called.
He called, well, babe, come out here with
me or whatever the point. My whole thing is
when are you going to become a man to where
you make your decisions
and make us, you know,
make your decisions not reflect
the people who really here for you.
You know, so like if he out, he
partying too hard and he end up
getting drunk and sleeping on his same couch.
No, you should be an adult and know
where you're limited. You know what I'm saying?
Stop, get a little sober, and bring your butt
home. How old is he?
He's 33.
So, man, you want to start?
He's 33. I've been with my woman for
22 years.
Married for six.
Completely faithful for four.
Actually, the last time I
did any dirt was October 2016. That is a fact. So, y'all been together for four. Actually, the last time I did any dirt was October
2016. That is a fact.
So y'all been together for six.
You got about 12 more years before
he hangs his jersey
up for good.
No, you ain't got to wait that long.
You ain't got to wait that long.
You are a true jerk.
You are a true jerk.
Because this is my
real experience. Nah, don't listen to Charlamagne. You got to give him an ultimatum. No, you caught him. He should know what it is.
Nah, nah, don't listen to Charlamagne.
You got to give him an ultimatum.
Tell him you want a grown-ass man.
You don't want a boy.
All that being out in the club, not taking care of home is a problem.
Don't listen to Charlamagne.
He got 12 more years. And furthermore.
You put your foot down and you tell him what it is
and you keep your foot on his neck.
I agree with Envy because when my woman,
no, I'm saying my woman broke up with me for a whole year
when she had just graduated from college.
So that definitely, you know, did put the fear of God in me.
So I agree with Envy on that.
But I'm going to tell you something else.
I'm not as much of a dirtbag as your man
because I ain't never stayed out all night.
I always had good sense that God gave me to take my ass home
after I did something.
If he was out, well, him being
out all night, if I didn't know who he was,
I probably would have went crazy. But I got
this man, like, we follow each other on our
location on our cell phone. But I know
where he at. You know what I'm saying?
I want to see if he makes a
responsible decision to sober up
and come home.
I shouldn't have to keep going out there chasing and seeing if you're going to come home.
I shouldn't have to keep calling you, asking you when you're going to come home.
And I shouldn't have to sit up until 5 o'clock in the morning to make sure you're safe.
I shouldn't have to do that because you put more on my shoulders.
You know, I've never, the whole six years, I've never actually left him
to where I need to make him realize what he got. You know what I'm saying?
I've never done that. Well, sometimes you
gotta put that ultimatum on. I think the problem is
he knows that. He knows you ain't leaving, so he
knows he can disrespect. So you put the
fear of God in him, and I'm sure he'll act
right. And good luck, Mama. Yeah, and I want
to tell you too, man, the way people
treat you is a statement about who they are
as a human being. It's not a statement about you.
So I don't ever want you to think that you're not a good woman,
you're not a good mother.
It has nothing to do with you.
That man has a lot of insecurities.
That man has a fragile ego,
and he's searching for something in other women
that he can only find within himself, period.
Absolutely.
Well, good luck, mama.
All right, ask Yee.
800-585-1051.
If you need relationship advice or any type of advice,

It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good 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?
Hello?
Hey, what's up, bro?
What's your question for CNE?
Order me something, man.
Order me something, man.
Get me something.
Hey, Charlamagne.
Yeah. Listen, I got a question for you real quick. order me something man order me something man get me something hey Charlemagne yeah listen
I got a question
for you real quick
like
look
I've been married
for like
17, 18 years
right
I'm disabled
military
I got 100% disability
I originally called
to say something
about my wife
but
if there's any way
look
I need your help
I needed your help
like a year ago
cause
one of my disabilities is like PTSD and all that stuff.
And I almost killed myself.
I got two kids, right?
And the reason why I'm calling you is because you always speak about mental health, right?
Yes, sir.
And I'm Dominican.
I'm Dominican, right?
So we don't believe in that stuff, just like black people.
You know what I mean?
I consider myself black. Not? I consider myself black.
Not that I consider myself black.
That's not what I'm saying.
I get what you're saying.
You know what I'm saying?
Okay, cool.
I want you to take my number because I'm going to need you.
You know what I'm saying?
Because I'm getting help right now
with my mental health.
And I'm getting better.
But what I'm saying is
I tried to call this radio station before
because I feel like,
you know how sometimes God
tells you to do something
and you either listen to it
or you don't.
You know what I'm saying?
So I was calling you back then
when I was in my darkest place
because I feel that you had the answer
to help me out.
You know what I'm saying?
Well, I tell you what,
I don't have all the answers. You know what I'm saying? Well, I tell you what, I don't have all the answers.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm still going on my journey just like you're going on your journey.
But I do have a lot of resources and a lot of people that you can talk to,
people that, you know, have helped me get through.
And I have no problem sharing those resources with you, my Dominican brother.
Okay?
Well, hold on one second.
We're not going to hang up.
We're going to get your information.
I got a real question for the brother, though.
Oh, go ahead.
Go ahead.
Ask me the question.
You're Dominican, right?
Yes, sir.
How many pair of white jeans do you own or have you owned?
I knew it.
Throughout your life.
Seriously.
Hold on.
Like, seriously, probably like once or twice because there was a white party and I needed
to buy everything white.
Okay.
Okay.
All Dominicans don't have white jeans, Charlamagne.
Hold on, man.
I didn't say that.
You asked that man about his white jeans, man.
I'm about to get your number.
Leave your number with the producer.
I'm going to hit you in the show over in like an hour, all right?
Goodness gracious.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, this is Magic.
Magic, what's up?
What's your question for T&E?
Yo, man, I got some questions, man.
I got a little relationship problem I got going on right now.
Been with my girl for a year.
She got three kids, and she pregnant now with the fourth one by me.
This is my first one.
But it ain't easy for me.
She got three from another man.
Give me hell.
Huh?
Yep.
She got three from another man.
No, she got three different baby daddies.
Well, she has four now, four baby daddies now. But go ahead. Okay? Yep. She got three from another man. No, she got three different baby daddies. Well, she has four now. Four baby daddies now.
But go ahead. Okay. Yeah.
And it's been rough for me, man. It's like
I go through hell. I do everything
she has me to do. Basically, I've been a do-boy
for her since she's been pregnant.
And she calls me selfish
just because, like, I
complain or something like that for getting up
in the middle of the night doing something for her.
Like, I'm doing this old shit up, but...
She don't respect you, bro.
It's kind of hard to respect the fourth baby daddy.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm scared for my life, though, for real, man.
Why are you scared for your life?
Did she put hands on you?
Yeah, she has.
She has, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh.
Yeah, you're in a easy position, bro.
No, I'm saying this is a one-time incident, but that's what she used to.
No.
She's done that in her past.
Toxic woman.
I'm not that guy, you know, I'm not your ex-baby daddy or nothing like that.
You want to come home, get drunk and put my hands on yourself like that.
You know, I communicate, you know, just talk to me.
Whatever the problem is, we'll try to solve it instead of just arguing back and forth. But like I said, she ain, just talk to me. Whatever the problem is, we'll try to solve it
instead of just arguing back and forth.
But like I said, she ain't got that in her.
And now she's pregnant,
and now she's talking about she don't want to be with me no more.
And that's not what I want in my life.
My first child, I want to be all family, not just...
Oh, man, I feel bad for you, bro.
You're in a abusive relationship with somebody that's toxic.
Oh, man.
Are you taking care of the other three kids, too?
I'm 31, having my first child, and it ain't how I want it to be.
Are you taking care of the other three kids, too?
It's really driving me crazy.
Boy, if you don't listen to me, are you taking care of the other three kids?
Barely.
Are you taking care of them, so you are?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I do what she asked me to do for them or whatnot.
Listen, if the roles were reversed and you was dating a toxic man
with four different baby mamas who put hands on you,
what would your girls be telling you to do?
Leave.
People been telling me to leave, but I just didn't listen.
I don't know why.
I really don't know why.
Listen to your goddamn girlfriends. Your girlfriends are telling you to leave right now. You didn't listen. I don't know why. I really don't know why. Listen to your goddamn girlfriends.
Your girlfriend is telling you to leave right now.
You said you fear for your life. She puts
hands on you. She makes you do everything.
You sound like you do everything
and you're about to lose it, so you better leave her alone
before she hits you with a frying pan,
some grease. Or your girlfriends.
I'm Tony Childs.
Envy is John Clayton.
We telling you to leave, Maya.
Okay?
Actually, you would be Lynn in this situation.
Like, this is something Lynn would get herself into.
All right?
She got three kids already from three different baby daddies.
She got one on the way from you.
Be a father to your child.
But this sounds like a very toxic human that you're dealing with.
And she needs to get some healing.
And when she gets some healing and becomes the woman that you need her to be, then you can be
with her. I told her,
she was talking about getting married and stuff before the baby
get here. I told her, if you want to do that, we're going to have to
go to counseling. She's talking about she don't need that.
Really?
It's stressful, man. It's really putting
a toll on me, for real. You know what toxic
people do? They never let things
go. They can't move forward. They
bully, they intimidate.
They lie.
They create drama.
They play the victim, and they act out of fear and insecurity.
That's all that person is doing to you right now.
You got to go, bro.
Be a father to your child.
That's a very toxic woman.
She sounds like the future of females.
Repeat after me.
I am strong.
I am strong.
I will not let her hit me anymore.
I will not let her hit me anymore. I will not let her hit me anymore.
What?
I will not let her hit me anymore.
That's right.
I am strong.
I am a good man, and I am a good father.
I am strong.
I am a good man, and I will be a good father.
There you go, brother.
When you got that written down, that envy?
Is that your daily affirmation?
I'm trying to give him the self-esteem to make him feel good this morning, man.
Brother, you go out there, you have a great day, and you take care of business.
All right, brother?
Eliminate all toxic people from your life, man.
Why do we always give people more chances than they deserve?
Why do we do that?
Give that man a little self-esteem, all right?
Wow.
Ask C&E, 800-585-1051.
We got rumors coming up.
A couple people have some babies.
We'll tell you about it when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
Now, like early, we got to congratulate Usher.
Usher, welcome the baby girl, Severin Bo Raymond.
So congratulations to Usher.
Salute to Usher.
Also, Kevin Hart and his wife, Aniko, they welcome a baby girl, Kaori Maya Hart.
So congratulations to them as well.
Salute to all the Harts.
And lastly, Donald Glover.
You know, during a GQ conversation, he revealed he had a
son during the pandemic. He said it was really weird because he, an hour before his son was born,
he just had seen the George Floyd video. And then his son was born an hour later. He said it was
just nuts. He said, I was in a hospital bed. My son had just been born an hour before I seen this
video. It was such a weird moment. It was such an intense, weird moment.
He says, because I was just watching the video like
it was eight minutes long and then all of a sudden I had
my son. Somebody who, you know,
played Simba in The Lion King
should understand the circle of life.
That's exactly what that was that he witnessed. He witnessed
a baby being born and he
witnessed a man, you know, tragically
being killed, but it's still life
and it's still death. That is the circle of life.
The circle of life, that's it.
Yeah, well, he named the baby after his dad that recently passed away.
So, again, congratulations to Donald Glover.
It's actually very symbolic that a person who played Simba
got to witness the circle of life in that way,
because that's all it is. The circle of life is just
symbolic terms for the series
of events that unfold on Earth, bringing us
from cradle to the grave. That's all.
Ups and downs. Love and misfortune.
Now also shout out to Jay-Z
and Roc Nation. They appointed
the first ever black executive
producer for the Super Bowl halftime show.
The brother's name is Jesse Collins,
so congratulations to him.
And I love what Jay-Z and Rob Mason is doing.
What do you mean the brother name is Jesse Collins?
Drop on the Clues Bonds with Jesse Collins, okay?
Jesse Collins has been a guest on The Breakfast Club.
Jesse Collins has done things like the New Edition movie
and the Bobby Brown movie, produces the BET Awards every year.
You know, he's doing the Uptown Records movie
based on the life of Andre Harrell,
which I'm a consultant producer on as well, too, by the way.
Rest in peace, Andre Harrell.
But, yeah, salute to Jesse Collins, man.
Jesse gets busy out here in these streets.
Definitely does.
So congratulations to him and shout to Jay-Z and Roc Nation.
And also, Jay-Z and Meek Mill's Reform Alliance scores a major victory in California.
Now, they're saying that they're celebrating this first major victory by signing
a new bill into the law.
Now, this new bill
will drastically reshape Cali's
probation system and give hundreds of thousands
of Californians a better shot
at exiting the criminal justice system for
good. So, they are definitely
doing the work. Yeah, man.
Reform does so much great work
that the culture may not appreciate,
but society as a whole does,
and that's what ultimately
matters. You know what I mean? So,
you know, drop on the clue bombs for reform.
Like, I mean, they're always constantly
doing the work. They're never not doing
the work.
Like, they're always doing things
to reform the prison system.
So, salute the reform.
Yeah, the new law limits adult probation sentences to a maximum of one year for a misdemeanor and two years for felony offenses.
So that will greatly reduce probation violations.
So shout to Reform and Hove and Meek Mill and everything that they're doing because they're doing a great job.
Michael Rubin as well.
They're doing really, really great.
Absolutely.
And lastly, I reported this earlier, but I just love this.
LeBron James has purchased his third property
in California that he owns right now.
He purchased a mansion for $36 million,
9,100 square feet,
two guest homes, swimming pool, tennis court,
two and a half acres. He just
bought that. He makes $37 million
a year in the NBA, and this house was
$36 million. So
shout to LeBron James for that.
LeBron got it and
clearly the James family ain't leaving LA
no time soon. That sounds like that's the
permanent residence for the rest of the life.
Okay? So kids, you're going to grow
up in LA. Alright? You're going to
go to school in LA and graduate
from LA and you know,
they're going to be first nesters in that house.
That's what they call it? First nesters? Yeah, first nesters. Yeah're going to be first nesters in that house. That's what they call it. First nesters.
Yeah, first nesters. Yeah.
They'll be first nesters in that house.
So drop on the Clues Bonds for the James family.
I love it. And he bought that
property from Lee Phillips Bell.
That was her home.
She passed away. She was the creator of
The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless.
She's the person who kept your grandma
them entertained all those years.
All those moments you had to share with your grandma around
3 o'clock, 3.30, 4 o'clock when she told you sit
your ass down and do your homework
or just sit your ass down and eat your
toast or biscuit with syrup.
That was my life. Yes.
It was Lee Phillips.
Alright, so her estate sold out to LeBron James.
So congratulations and that is your
rumor report.
Alright, now shout to Revolt. We that is your rumor report. All right.
Now, shout to Revolt.
We'll see you guys tomorrow.
Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next.

Now we got to shout to Congressman Cedric Richmond for joining us this morning.
Yeah, salute to Cedric Richmond.
I mean, that was a very productive conversation, and I've spoken to Cedric Richmond for joining us this morning. Yeah, salute to Cedric Richmond. I mean, that was a very productive conversation.
And I've spoken to Cedric quite a few times.
He's the co-chair for the Biden campaign.
And he's a congressman in Louisiana.
And he's what I would call the Negro whisperer.
If Biden gets in the White House with Senator Harris, you know,
he's the person that we would go to with a lot of things.
He's the person that would keep our issues on the desk of Vice President Joe Biden.
And if not, that's what we also would hold accountable.
So it's good to have people who have those checks and balances that we can get to.
Absolutely. All right.
So when we come back, we got the 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.
Now, shout out to everybody who is, I know a lot of you guys getting unemployment. A lot of you

sense just be smart with your money right now now is a good time to get into real estate interest

So you can get some great properties.
There's a lot of things out there if you look.
So get out there and definitely, definitely look.
Be smart with your money.
Why do people, and by people, I mean us black people,
why do black people like things that make them feel good
as opposed to investing in things that will really
make you good you know i'm saying forget the looking good forget feeling good for the moment
think about something that's going to actually make you good for a long-term period of time
something that's going to actually make your family good in the long term i know that we've
been through a lot in this country and we get our asses kicked constantly, but we really got to stop living for the moment.
Seriously.
Absolutely.
I mean, enjoy the moment, but don't just live for it.
You're just going to run out and go buy two Rolexes for what?

What I should have told the brother is this positive note.
