Good morning, guys. It's a Friday. Toronto. Yes, it is.
How y'all feeling this morning? Oh, Toronto.
Yeah.
Today is an okay day.
I mean, listen, man.
I always say that my spiritual existence is blessed black and highly favored at all times.
My human existence is always somewhere between O and K.
So that gives me a perfect balance of feeling fine. I tell you, you know, if you really
want to feel good, just wake up in the morning and thank God for everything that you do have.
That's it. Don't stress about nothing you don't. Just thank God for everything that you absolutely
do have. And the main thing that you have is life. You can breathe. So let gratitude be your attitude.
Good morning. All right. Well, it's Libra season.
Tomorrow's my mom's birthday.
And then Tuesday's my brother's birthday.
Today's my best friend Santi's birthday.
So. Okay.
I always like this time because it's like everybody that's
really close to me.
It's their birthday.
Alright. Well, Chris Rock will be joining us this morning.
You got the little jingle too.
Chiba Chiba, y'all. I'm a Libra, y'all.
Chiba Chiba, y'all. I'm a Libra, y'all. Chiba Chiba, y'all.
I'm a Libra, y'all.
Did I make that up

That is actually in the song.

The Fugees, right?
Yes.
Okay, just making sure.
Just making sure I'm on point here.
All right.
Chris Rock is here, as you said.
Chris Rock will be joining us this morning,
so we'll kick it with Chris Rock.
Also, if you want to get it off your chest,
phone lines are open right now.
You can actually start
800-585-1051.
But we got front page news coming up. What are we talking about? Well, Donald Trump went
to go and pay respect to Ruth Bader Ginsburg and we'll tell you what happened at the top
of the Supreme Court steps and how he responded. All right. We'll get into that next. It's
the Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right. That was Travis Scott, young thug at MIA's
called Franchise. It's an iHeartRadio world All right. That was Travis Scott, young thug at MIA's Call Franchise.
This is an iHeartRadio World premiere.
We're going to be playing that every hour, top of the hour.
Now let's get in some front page news.
Now the NBA games, I fell asleep last night.
Who won?
Anybody know?
Charlamagne?
The Lakers beat the Nuggets.
At 114-108.
114-108.
It was 3-1, yep.
Yeah, it was a good game.
Lakers beat the Nuggets. But know the Lakers gotta finish the job now
We just watched the Nuggets come back
From 3-1 in two series
This playoff run
So Lakers gotta finish the job
But it was a good game, but the Lakers won
Alright, what else we got Yee?
Alright, well Breonna Taylor's family attorney
Ben Crump feels like the
Kentucky Attorney General's investigation
Was a cover up And so they are going to be having family attorney, Ben Crump, feels like the Kentucky Attorney General's investigation was a
cover-up, and so they are going
to be having a
response, and that's going to happen
today at 10.30 in the morning, so
we'll keep you guys updated, but I know we do have
some firsthand information
that will be coming to you this morning, so we'll talk
more to Ben Crump and
Teslin Figaro this morning about
what was going on in the way of a Kentucky
and Breonna Taylor's family and what they
have to say in response
to Breonna Taylor getting killed.
All right.
Also, Donald Trump, he went
to go and pay respect to Ruth Bader Ginsburg
and as he was there
on the Supreme Court steps, once they saw
him, they started booing him
and chanting, vote him out.
Listen to this.
Now, Donald Trump responded to this later on at a press conference. He said,
I think it was just a political chant.
We could hardly hear it from where we were.
We heard a sound, but it wasn't very strong.
Well, a wise old black president with big ears once said, don't boo, vote.
If you want him out, do what you're chanting.
Actually, go vote him out.
Showing proof through actions and deeds, not words, lip service, booze, and chants.
Booze and chants are good, though.
All right.
The FDA has issued a warning against Benadryl as they are investigating reports of teen injuries and deaths,
all linked to a Benadryl challenge on TikTok. So they said teenagers are ending up in hospital, emergency rooms, or dying after participating in that challenge.
Too much Benadryl can lead to severe health problems,
including serious heart problems, seizures, comas, and even death.
So please, guys, do not take this Benadryl.
How do these challenges start?
Like, hey, I want to take some poison, see if I live.
Okay, challenge.
Like, I'm confused how to even start.
I don't know.
Benadryl is strong, though.
Benadryl is strong, and I don't understand it,
especially when it's, you know, all of these real drugs on the market.
You got all of these actual real drugs you can get your hands on.
Why are you drinking Benadryl?
Oh, boy.
You don't drink Benadryl, do you?
Yeah, as a pill.
I thought Benadryl was a drink.
I always took it as a pill.
I think it might be both while you're playing.
I think it is both.
Either way, Why would you want
To take that as a drug
Because I've always
Taken it for allergies
Why though
Like what's the point
Like who comes up
With that kind of stuff
And it's a drug
That I thought you took
When you like
Itching and stuff
Like when you got
Like a rash
Or like
An insect bite
Or something like that
Yeah
Yeah and it's good
For allergies
Because you know
I have a lot of allergies
To pets
And so a lot of allergies to pets.
And so a lot of times I'll be like, let me just take this Benadryl.
But it makes me so sleepy and it feels so strong.
Like I feel like I'm on drugs.
So I try not to ever have to take it.
It has to be like a real reason.
But I know a lot of people that have bad allergic reactions to things.
They have that Benadryl just in case, you know, things start swelling up or whatever.
I never had those kind of like desires when I was a child. Like, you know, yeah start swelling up or whatever. I never had those kind of, like, desires when I was a child.
Like, you know, yeah, I smoke weed.
I've even smoked weed with cocaine in it.
But I've never had the desire to, like, remember back in the day, they used to sniff glue and sniff paint and all.
I'm like, why would I do such a thing?
I could just get my hands on some weed.
Yeah, the only thing I did was, you know, with the helium in the balloon
just so your voice could sound real high.
I think we all did that.
That's not a drug. Yeah, that's the only thing? I think we all did that. That's not a drug.
Yeah, that's the only thing.
That can't be good for you, though.
The only thing you were trying to get high is your voice.
No, no, no, not constantly.
Yeah, but the only thing you were trying to get high in that situation
is your voice.
I don't think that was going to your brain. But I could be wrong.
I'm not a doctor. I don't know.
I looked it up. It said, is it dangerous? It says breathing in pure
helium can cause death by asphyxiation.
Well, who are you to judge then with your little helium challenge?
Little balloon challenge.
All right.
Who are you to judge these baby girl challenges?
All right.
Well, that is your front page news.
All right.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
Hit us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Wake up. Wake up. Hit us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up.
With your ass.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, yes.
Manny.
Hey, what's up, bro?
Get it off your chest.
Man, listen, man.
First, man, what's up with our president?
Like, that's for him to say those ignorant-ass comments.
My bad.
Some ignorant comments out of his mouth the other day.
But on a side note, man, day four yesterday, I call up here all the time.
And I'm on a hold waiting for y'all guys to get the phone.
And I was pulled over by the cops.
I was on the side of the room.
I was waiting for y'all guys.
Oh, man.
Literally, the first thing out of the office that's about to me is,
oh, it's one of y'all.
Not the license, registration, oh, it's one of y'all.
Like, what's the
under my car, and that's the first
thing that's out of his mouth to me.
If I react in a certain
way, then I'm wrong.
Then I cause this on myself.
It's like we have no win.
We have no win.
It's hard to feel free as a black person in America.
That's just the truth to the matter.
We know this.
Liberty and justice and equality and freedom.
Whatever the hell they say about something for all, that doesn't apply to us.
We're not in that for all.
Thank you for calling, bro.
Sharing your story.
That's infuriating.
For his party to have to stand there and allow him to speak to me like this,
like, it's sad,
man. Right.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
Did you get his badge number?
I mean, I...
All my interactions with the cops, I record.
I just haven't had time to upload it to the media.
So that's my next step
because I don't know what else to do.
Like, I don't know what else to do with it, I don't know what else to do with it.
I don't know what else to do.
And the crazy part is,
I would tell you to upload the video,
which I think that you should,
but I mean, even in those situations,
it feels like all it does is re-trigger all our traumas
because we can upload those things about the police,
but don't nothing happen to them.
Thank you for sharing your story, brother.
For the most part.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water 500 pounds of concrete everybody's
doing it I am King Ernest Emmanuel I am the Queen of Ladonia I'm Jackson the
first king of Kaperburg I am the supreme leader of the Grand Republic of
Mentonia be part of a great colonial tradition the why can't I trade my own
country my forefathers did that themselves what could go wrong no
country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know,
with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help.
We still have the off-road portion to go. 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.
Hey, guys.
I'm Kate Max.
You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive
even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the
pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout?
Well, that's when the real magic happens.
So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire,
join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust
herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities
for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is 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?
This is Tanya.
Hey, Tanya, get it off Tanya. Hey, Tanya.
Hey, Tanya.
Hi, this is Martha Cole.
Let me tell you guys, I listen to you guys every morning.
I'm from New York.
Thank you, Tanya.
I live here in Charlotte, and I'm at work.
I want to give a shout-out to my children, Maya and my son, Makai.
I love you guys.
Have a blessed day, and you guys too.
You too. I love you guys. Have a blessed day, and you guys too. You too.
I love the Queen City.
I was watching Joe Biden walk around the Queen City with Chris Paul
and Mayor Louse a couple days ago, and I was like, wow.
Politicians still just pop up at this old food spot and kick it, right?
They was at Merch in Charlotte, but salute to Charlotte.
Love Charlotte.
All right.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, Big Chuck with the Toast Sucker. How we doing, family? Oh, my gosh. Never heard of you. Long time, long time. Love Charlotte. All right. Hello, who's this? Yo, Big Chalk with the Toast Sucker.
How we doing, family?
Oh, my gosh.
Never heard of you.
Long time, long time.
It's been a minute.
Never heard of you.
First of all, I want to thank the Lord for my blessings.
I'd like to thank you guys for doing a good job.
And I got a little, you know, the game that we used to play,
Is It Just Me?
So check it out.
Is it just me or does everybody think that Envy's going to star
in the new movie
Angry Man in Manhattan?
Is it just me
or does everybody think
Angelo E. He have toothpick legs?
Is it just me
or does everybody think
Charlamagne's a bed sheet fighter?
Is it just me?
You like that?
A bed sheet fighter?
I thought it was pillow biter.
You bite the bed sheet,
damn it.
You and Trav,
you know what you're doing.
You know you're doing it.
I did.
Why did Trav get dragged into this?
I don't know.
But thank you, chocolate toaster guy.
Why don't you bite the bed sheet, though?
I always thought it was pillow biting.
I didn't know it was bed sheet biting.
You do either or anyway.
Hello, who's this?
This is Marquee.
Marquee, what's up?
Get it off your chest, bro.
What's up?
I'm calling because tomorrow's my birthday.
I just wanted a little birthday shout-out.
But also, I wanted to say, you know how we talk about how powerful the black dollar is in America?
I think that, you know, for Black Friday, we should support only black businesses.
With that being the biggest retail day in America, I think that'll open a lot of eyes, man.
Yo, I'm going to tell you something.
We've done that before, but you should support black businesses all the time.
Every day.
I know I do.
Support your black businesses with black dollars every day.
Absolutely.
But I'm just saying with Black Friday being the biggest retail day in America,
that if we only buy black on Black Friday,
then I think that'll be world major, man.
That's a nice movement, though.
The only thing you buy, nothing else,
just only black-owned businesses for a day.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm just at the point, man,
where I want real substantive change
as opposed to just symbolic stunts.
But I understand what he's saying
because that is the biggest shopping day of the year.
Right.
I feel like they did that, though.
That last year or the year before last, one of them.
Well, I'm not mad at it.
That's just one out of many things you can do.
All right.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
We got rumors on the way, Yee?
Yes, and let's give you some more information
about Mariah Carey's book.
We already told you she was on The Oprah Conversation.
And we'll tell you some more about what she had to say in her memoir
about her troubled relationship with her own family.
All right, we'll get into that next. 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
with angela yee on the breakfast club well charles barkley this is difficult but here he is on
nba on tnt he's talking about brianna taylor's murder at the hands of police, and he's saying do not compare it to George Floyd or Ahmaud Arbery.
Here is his rationale.
I am worried that we lump all these situations in together,
and I feel just bad the young lady lost her life.
But, you know, we do have to take into account that her boyfriend did shoot at the cops and shot a cop.
So, like I say, even though I'm really sorry she lost her life,
I don't think that we can just say we can put this in the same situation
with George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery.
I just don't believe that.
Charles Barkley, shut the F up forever.
Makes no sense.
Her boyfriend was a law-abiding citizen who has never been arrested ever.
He was a legal gun owner who thought someone was breaking into his house.
There's not a gun owner in America who would not have done the exact same thing if they were in that situation.
You're in your home, in bed, asleep, haven't committed a crime, done nothing wrong.
Some plainclothes cops with a no-knock warrant.
Now there's one person saying that they did knock, but everybody else has said these cops did not knock.
They busted down the door.
That's what the 2A law is about.
And by the way, that's why his charges got dropped.
They charged him and then they dropped his charges
because there's no case there.
You're in your house minding your business.
You think someone is breaking in, so you defend your home.
Period. Nothing else to talk about.
And you defend your woman.
What's the brother's name? I keep forgetting his name. It's Kenneth something, right? Kenneth Walker. Kenneth Walker. Nothing else to talk about. And you defend your woman. What's the brother's name?
I keep forgetting his name.
It's Kenneth something, right?
Kenneth Walker.
Kenneth Walker.
Salute to Kenneth Walker.
All right.
Now, in addition to that, Charles Barkley talks about defunding the police and his thoughts on that situation.
Here he is.
I hear these fools on TV talking about defund the police and things like that.
We need police reform and prison reform and things like that. Because you know who ain't going to defund the cops?
White neighborhoods and rich neighborhoods. So that notion, they keep saying that. I'm like,
wait a minute. We just going to leave. Who are black people supposed to call? Ghostbusters?
When we have crime in our neighborhoods, we need police reform. So we need to stop that
defund or abolish the cops
crap. We can have a more civilized
conversation about that. I mean, the reason I just don't
agree with reforming the police
is because you can't reform
a system that was never
made for all people. The criminal
justice system doesn't need reform. It needs
complete overhaul.
You gotta tear the whole thing down.
Throw this defective product away and let's build something new from scratch.
Because this system is not for us.
Never has been, never will be.
All right.
Now, Zach Braff, and you know Zach Braff, he was on Scrubs and he also wrote and directed that movie Garden State that's like a cult classic.
He has invited people to share their tributes to loved ones who died of coronavirus.
Now he was inspired by Donald Trump saying this.
Now we know it affects elderly people, elderly people with heart problems and other problems.
You know, in some states, thousands of people, nobody young, below the age of 18, like nobody.
They have a strong immune system who knows you look at you take your hat off to the young because they have a hell of an immune system but it affects
virtually nobody it's a it's an amazing thing and then zach brad posted anybody else losing nobody
and uh hundreds of people started sharing their own stories of people who they lost on Twitter. So you can check out that whole Twitter thread and see what everybody else has to say.
Make sure y'all tag Trump in all of those posts.
Because that's like, what, over 200,000 nobodies that passed away of coronavirus?
Make sure Trump sees every single one of them.
All right.
Now, Mariah Carey is getting ready for her book to come out.
Like we've told you, her memoir is coming out on the 29th.
And she did the Oprah conversation on Apple TV+.
And she discussed in her memoir, she said,
I would have never spoken a word about anybody in my life.
And I tried to be very fair.
But people have drawn first blood with me historically.
She said, I know you understand this.
When there are people that are in any way
connected to you as a person
that has achieved any success.
You are a target, you're vulnerable,
but I wouldn't have gone here
if things hadn't been done to me,
if I hadn't been dragged by certain people
and treated as an ATM machine with a wig on.
All it is is like, let me get some money
and let me get some money no matter what.
So she's talking about her own family life.
And she said her early life was defined by trauma and violence.
She said her brother was extremely violent
and her sister is troubled and traumatized.
She said, I try to be thoughtful about that,
although I don't know that the same courtesy has been extended to me
from anybody that caused certain traumatic events in my life.
So Oprah did read a passage from her book.
She said, through the years, both my sister
and brother have put me on the chopping block, sold lies to any gossip rag or trashy website
that would buy or listen. They have attacked me for decades. But when I was 12 years old,
my sister drugged me with Valium, offered me a pinky nail full of cocaine, inflicted me with
third degree burns and tried to sell me out to a pimp. You know, Mariah did it right. And what I
mean by she did it right is
like she never told too much about her
personal life in interviews throughout
the years or even in her music.
So now she's at the point in her life where she's
a legend. She's an icon. She's a diva.
Let me give it to you all in a book, which I'm sure
she got paid incredibly for
and she will make royalties off
for the rest of her life. That's right.
Now she's controlling her own narrative.
I love it.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
I'm Angela Yee.
All right.
Thank you, Ms. Yee.
We got front page news.
What are we talking about?
Yes, and we're going to give you some updates on Breonna Taylor and what's happening today.
There is a press conference at 1030.
We'll tell you what that's about.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Last night, the Lakers beat the Nuggets 114-108.
LeBron had 26.
AD had 34.
Now, what else are we talking about, Yeezy?
Breonna Taylor's family and her attorney, Benjamin Crump,
says that they want the Kentucky Attorney General's investigation into Breonna Taylor's death to be transparent.
And they want to know what was actually presented to the grand jury.
So today at 1030, they're actually going to be having a press conference to address what the response from the family is to what the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron had to say.
We got Attorney Ben Crump and Teslin Figaro checking in next hour, by the way.
Yep, next hour we'll be talking to them.
Right. So after that, you can check out the press conference as well.
Now, Breonna Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, actually wrote on Instagram,
it's still Breonna Taylor for me beside a portrait of her daughter's face.
And then she put hashtag the system failed Breonna.
Absolutely.
Definitely.
Breonna Taylor's younger sister, Janiyah Palmer, also conveyed her disappointment on Twitter.
She said, they failed you.
They failed me.
Breonna, I am so sorry.
I don't know what to do.
And Breonna Taylor's cousin, Tawana Gordon,
told the Courier-Journal that she was mad as hell
because nothing's changing.
So we will get to hear that response today at 10.30 a.m.
Yeah, I don't know what to do either.
I do know I hate when people politicize Black pain like this
and tell folks just to go vote.
If you're going to tell us to go vote, tell us exactly why we should go vote. Tell us how voting can change situations like
this. Because, you know, if you've lived long enough on this planet, whether it's Republican,
Democrat, local, national, we've seen these type of injustices happen over and over and over to
black people. So if you're going to politicize this black pain and tell us to go vote, tell us
exactly why voting could
have changed the outcome of this situation.
Well, yeah, and you see the power the attorney
general has, and you can vote for your attorney
general in most instances.
Sometimes it is appointed, but in a lot of states, you
do vote for who your attorney general
is, and then usually the mayor
I think appoints who is the police,
the head of the police department, but then
it matters who your mayor is.
That's true, too.
But you could vote on him.
Mm hmm.
Yeah.
I don't know how it does matter to be involved.
Yeah.
I don't know how all that works.
But I saw somebody, you know, yesterday talking about William Barr and saying things would
be different under a Democratic AG.
And I'm like, well, under Obama, we had two black attorney generals.
So I don't know.
That's what I said.
I just want somebody to explain to me.
That's all.
I'm not the most politically sophisticated person.
Alright, and Donald Trump was booed
as he went to the top of the Supreme Court
steps to pay respect for Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
You know, she died
last week after a bout with cancer
and as he showed up
and people realized he was there,
here's what happened.
Vote him out! Vote him out! Vote him out!
Vote him out?
Vote him out. And they were booing.
You better have that energy on November 3rd then.
You know what I mean?
Sean proved through actions and deeds,
not words, lip service, boos, and chants.
A former black president once said, don't boo, vote.
All right.
All right.
Well, that is your front page news.
Now, when we come back, Chris Rock will be joining us.
We'll kick it with Chris Rock's Don't Move.
Always a great person to talk to at any time.
Mm-hmm.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I trade my own country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.
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.

Only a few people get that, by the way.
Okay, okay.
I'll take it.
Let me ask you a question, Chris.
You've lived through a lot of these injustices.
Cops getting no punishment for things that happen to black people.
How do you feel today?
You know, there's just two levels.
A, you're disappointed and you're hurt by what happened.
It's not just the cops.
Remember, everyone in the chain of command should have been.
Conditional system.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, like whoever signed the papers that said, okay, go get a, you know,
go get them should be in there too.
I'm also just upset that I'm used to this.
You know what I mean?
So it's sad that we're just
here.
Her name is going to
go on a stack of other names.
There's a chance that three months from now
that we're so busy
with the next one that we forget about
Brianna. That's not on purpose
but the
bodies just keep piling up. What do you tell your daughter? Your daughter is out there. She's, you know, not on purpose, but it's just, you know, the bodies just keep piling up.
What do you tell your daughter? You know, because your daughter
is out there, she's in school, and
what do you tell her? How do you tell her to move
to make sure that she's safe?
You know, fortunately,
you and I and everybody,
you know, us five
being on the radio right now, we live
lives that, because
of our economic status, we're not exempt from what's going on.
But we kind of, you know, we're kind of on a hill and we get to watch what's going on.
So we're a little, a tad safer.
But yes, I do tell my daughters to keep their eyes open and their ears and be alert and just know where they are at all times.
But, you know, we've been blessed.
So I'm not really worried about the cops knocking down my door right now,
but I realize that, you know, it's not even about my daughters.
It's like my cousins and my nephews that have, like, normal jobs
that are really out there.
That's interesting to hear you say that, because I remember watching you getting pulled over all the time.
And you're rich, you're famous.
Have you ever felt free in this country?
You can't possibly feel exempt.
No, no, I don't feel, I wouldn't say exempt, but I do, you know, like when you punch my name up,
even if you don't recognize me, somebody says something.
Right.
You know, I don't want to sound like a rapper, but I am Chris Rock.
And, you know, membership has its privileges.
But every now and then you forget your card.
That's very true.
Chris, you were in Yellow Springs.
How was that for you, performing in the cornfield?
I love Yellow Springs.
People that don't know Yellow Springs, Dave Chappelle,
the honorable, all praises to the honorable Dave Chappelle,
has kind of run like a comedian summer camp in Yellow Springs, Ohio.
That's his hometown
and dave's kind of like the unofficial mayor of the town and he uh you know dave's got a bunch
of land and he kind of set up a stage in a cornfield and it's uh everybody's socially
distanced we all got a rapid covid test so, your plane lands, you get off the plane, you get tested,
you wait your 15 minutes or 20 minutes, however long it takes.
And once you get your negative test, then they give you a wristband.
Were you nervous while you were waiting for your results?
Were you nervous?
I've been pretty separated.
You know, I haven't been, you know, in the clubs, in the underground clubs.
The flight, the flight, you know, traveling.
No, no, I got my own plane.
Yeah, he didn't get there the same way you got there, Yeet.
Yeah, we definitely weren't on the same plane.
Hit me up.
You can get on my plane.
It's all good. You can get on my plane. We'll do it. It's all good.
You're more than welcome.
But, yeah, it's nice to be in an atmosphere where you know everyone's tested.
And, you know, it's Dave, so the weeds are plenty.
Plenty.
Weeds are plenty and mushrooms are plenty.
I didn't know we could talk about that.
I mean,
you know, you guys can, yeah,
I think that's, you know, the guy made the half
bake, so, you know.
Right, the mushrooms. Did you do the mushroom
tea? I did the mushroom
tea, and
yeah, I just woke up.
I can't
even believe I made it here. The mushroom
tea is so potent, I think I'm on The View right now.
I'm whooping.
It's like, are you whooping?
Embiid's Joy Behar.
No, Embiid's Meghan McCain, definitely.
I'm not going to be Meghan McCain.
Did you see anything?
Did you see anything?
Did the tea show you anything about life that you hadn't seen before?
You know what?
I'm looking at this time, and it's like,
one thing about COVID and quarantine and all this stuff,
it's like you really assess your moods right now.
You know what I mean?
Like, this is halftime.
And it's like, great teams, great coaches make adjustments at halftime.
That's right.
And the WAC keep playing the way they were playing.
So right now I'm making adjustments in my life,
making adjustments in my mental health,
I'm making adjustments in my physical health.
You know, I call this the three pigs part of life.
Remember the three pigs?
Yeah, three little pigs.
What kind of house have you made, Charlemagne?
Did you make it?
Is your life of sticks?
Is it a...
It's a bra of bricks.
That's real.
But you don't know that until something happens, though.
America thought it was a brick house.
That's right.
So, yeah.
So, dude, did you make a brick house?
And I'm telling you right now, I'm getting calls.
Some of my friends have brick houses.
But some of my friends' houses are made of straw.
And I'm getting calls from famous people trying to sell me their cars.
Wow.
Like people we know.
Mm-hmm.
So this is the time, you know, nothing to be ashamed of,
but, you know, from this point on, we know something can happen.
Yep.
Yeah.
And we can, like, live our lives accordingly.
Well, with that said,
is there any of those people that you want to be the big bad wolf to?
Because they f***ed you over in the past.
I'm not blowing nobody's house down.
I wish everybody well.
You know, when this thing went down,
you know, the first thing you do is like,
how do I take care of the people I love?
So, and I'm blessed,'m blessed you know i'm not the
most religious person but thank god i can like help out you know my people all right we got more
with chris rock when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning everybody it's dj
envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with chris
rock how are you moving differently if you are moving differently?
I'm downsizing on some level.
I tell you that.
Life's great, but at the same time, you're like, okay, what's sustainable?
Right.
Like if this happens again, because it could happen again.
It happened once.
It could happen again.
It's still not over.
Right.
Oh, okay.
So can I ride out a year without working?
Okay.
That's good. But what if I have to ride out three year without working? Okay, that's good.
But what if I have to ride out three years without working?
Oh, I don't know now.
So, you know, you're just making different moves and different investments and different, you know, your priorities are different.
The people you surround yourself, you got to weed out some people.
You're also getting to learn to know yourself a whole lot better.
Yes, I'm doing a lot of
therapy now because I got the time.
You know, going to my trainers
and, you know, just working on myself
a lot. You talked about
therapy. You're spending seven hours a week in
therapy. I love therapy myself.
Was it the stage that served as your therapy
before? Yeah, you know what?
Being on stage can be therapeutic
but you don't let it all out
and stay on stage and it's like the thing about therapy what i learned especially this round
it only works if you tell the absolute truth truth because your relationship with your therapist
is just that it's the relationship and when you have a relationship, you like to present the best version of yourself.
And, you know, that can be a big disservice to you in therapy.
In therapy, you actually, if you really want it to work, you should present the worst version of yourself.
That's the truth.
But I always, you know, I always, you know,
like a joke I used to do.
I always used to bring my representatives.
I never really brought me.
And I'm bringing me now.
And I'm, you know, it's really helping me out.
What made you reveal that?
Like what made you peel back all those layers
and say, I'm going to present me?
I don't know, man.
It's just, I mean, some of it's just the COVID of it all.
Once work shut down, you just have all this free time.
And, you know, you know, the Michael Jackson song,
I'm looking at the man in the mirror.
And like, okay, you got money, you got fame,
but you're sitting here by yourself.
You know what I mean?
Like, how do I make it to the next level?
How do I get joy from things I don't buy?
You know what I mean?
Right.
You know, my kids are getting older.
They're literally out the house.
How do I get joy, you know, just from waking up?
So, you know, I got to look inside.
And I got to hold myself accountable.
You said that you had been diagnosed with this nonverbal learning disorder.
So how does that affect your everyday life and what can you do about it?
How does it affect my everyday life?
I process things slower.
I don't pick up on hints. I have a hard
time with social cues. So when we talk, all I pick up on the word. So if you were angry with me or
just perturbed with me, or even if you were into me and you were like trying to, you know, whatever,
have sex or whatever, like I wouldn't pick up on it. You would have to literally say it to me.
I'm one of these guys.
I can't do anything technical.
But I used to not realize.
I used to just think I was old or I was slow.
But now I'm realizing, oh, okay, and I'm getting better.
I can work my Bluetooth now.
I can, you know what I mean?
How did you realize?
When did you realize what it was or what the problem was?
You know what's weird?
A friend of mine jokingly said I had Asperger's.
And it's weird.
I just said to myself, okay, I'm going to get tested.
Because I had another relative with Asperger's, right?
And I got tested. And the doctor was like, no, you another relative with Asperger's right and I got tested and the
doctor was like no you don't have Asperger's what you have is right next to it and it's called NBLD
and the doctor was like you've been taken advantage of in life you you're a little slow
in some instances and you're a hype and you're amazing, but at the same time, your verbal ability and your memory are impeccable.
So I've been, you know, it's like the blind guy that can hear amazingly.
You know what I mean?
Like I've been overcompensating for it.
And, you know, having a hard time with subtlety is great on a stand-up stage
where you're screaming. You know what having a hard time with subtlety is great on a stand-up stage where you're screaming.
You know what I mean?
But in a one-on-one relationship.
In a relationship?
Ah, you know, my relationship with my brothers, my relationship with my mother,
or, you know, wife, girlfriend, like, all of that's like, hmm, is all suffered
because I'm like, I have a hard time picking up stuff.
But now that I know, I'm a thousand times better.
So I'm dealing with it with therapy, a little bit of drugs,
but they're weaning me off.
And now I know when I feel a certain way, I have to stop before I react.
I have to say, okay, is this how I feel?
Or is this my learning disorder acting up?
I need to know more on how that impacts you with women, though,
like in the bedroom because a lot of communication in the bedroom is nonverbal.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not going to say I did.
I'm like one of my therapists is like a sexual therapist.
You know what I mean?
Like it's like all encompassing, you know?
But here's the thing, too.
I'm better because I know and, like, you know, But here's the thing, too. I'm better because I know.
And, like, you know, I've been on a couple of dates recently,
and I tell them.
It's like, in a weird way, it's almost like,
remember you saw the Joker?
And he walks around with that card?
Right.
He's like, yo, I got you.
Get a BBAA.
And, yeah, you tell a chick, yo, yo,
I'm sending you a link.
This is what I have.
And now it helps women deal with me in a better way.
So Chris, I want sex.
You want the clear.
Okay, come on, Envy, Envy, relax.
Wow, Envy.
I know your daughters are with you.
Jesus Christ.
Yeah, it's like everybody knows what's up.
So, yeah, it's easier on everybody now.
I do want to make sure we talk about Fargo, though,
because that's a huge deal, right?
You're on season four.
Is it season four?
It's season four, yeah.
Season four of Fargo.
Fargo, they just sent us some screeners yesterday,
so I saw the first episode.
Because I was like, I got to see Chris Rock play this role.
I watched the movie, like, way back in the day episode because I was like, I got to see Chris Rock play this role. I watched the movie like way back
in the day, so I was just interested
to see. And there was a lot of different
storylines going on. So
let's talk about your character on
Fargo. Well, you don't have to audition, though. You don't audition anymore.
You just say, I'll take this part or not.
Your life is an audition. You know
what I mean? Like, I've been around so long,
which is good and it's bad.
Sometimes it's good. It's like, oh, I've been around so long, which is good and it's bad. Sometimes it's good.
It's like, oh, I've seen him do this, this, and this.
I want him.
And then it's bad sometimes because people think they know me.
Right.
And I can't audition.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's like.
This wouldn't be a good role for him.
I wish I could audition for more stuff, honestly.
Really?
You know, it's something comedians have in them that allows them to tap into dramatic, serious roles in a very unique way.
What do you think that thing is?
Comedians are pained for the most part.
Every comedian I know has trauma.
And it's just how we process it.
Put it this way.
The greatest sensations you can give a person is sex and laughter.
Right? But we break up with people we have great sex with. greatest sensations you can give a person is sex and laughter, right?
But we break up with people we have great sex with.
You don't break up with nobody that makes you laugh.
That's kind of real.
That's for real.
You need the comic relief at all times.
Yeah, like your most ratchet, funny friend,
you will figure out a way to keep them in your life.
Right. Because even when you're mad at them,
they're going to do something to make you laugh about whatever it is you're mad at.
Yeah, they steal from you.
Like, ah, this mother******.
Let them back in.
Laugh is the highest level of enjoyment you can give a person.
Now we got more with Chris Rock.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Chris Rock.
So let's get back to Fargo.
Now tell us, for people that don't know about Fargo,
tell us about Fargo and what you play in Fargo.
This season, I play a guy named Lloyd Cannon,
a mobster in 1950s Kansas City.
He's a complicated man because, you know, he's a businessman.
He's a legitimate businessman,
and he's a gangster at the exact same time.
He's a black man with a dream,
but living in a world that's set up totally against him.
Not too much unlike the world today, but much more severe.
And you get to see this guy's trials and tribulations, you know,
not just as a businessman, but as a father, as a husband.
There's a Tony Soprano element to it, you know what I mean?
Like, we think of Tony Soprano as a gangster, but at the same time, it's like, the family
drama was just as much,
if not more, than the
actual gangster drama. It's filmed beautifully,
and there's so many things, because
like I said, I just watched the first episode,
so I don't know what's going on, because I saw your son,
and then I was like, why is
his son not living with him? Why
are these random people? So I know there's a lot
I'm going to have to watch to make
everything kind of tie together.
You have to watch the whole series, I'm sure.
Angela, I think you've got
nonverbal learning disorder. I watched it three times. I'm like, they're trading kids?
I was going to ask about Jimmy Fallon.
You know, people were asking about Jimmy Fallon.
He did a skit and he used blackface.
And people were asking your comment on it.
Here's the thing.
That skit is 20 years ago.
Like, who amongst us hasn't done something 20 years ago? And, hey, you guys are on the radio. You said things 20 years ago. Like, who amongst us hasn't done something 20 years ago?
And, hey, you guys are on the radio.
You said things 20 years ago you would never say today.
Let's not talk about it, Chris.
Don't go having them digging up our s**t.
Yeah, come on.
Why would you even do that?
Why are you putting it on us, Chris?
Chris, Emma, your joke's from 20 years ago.
Exactly.
Exactly.
So, I mean, Jimmy Fallon's our friend.
Okay.
Jimmy Fallon's got a show with the roots as his band.
Do you think Jimmy Fallon's a racist?
No.
Your friends should get the benefit of the doubt.
Yes.
What's the point of being a friend if you're going to judge somebody harshly immediately?
Strangers should get the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
All things racist aren't racism.
You know, some of them are just people being dumb.
And everybody's allowed to be dumb sometimes or to be ignorant and not know.
Right.
So, you know, I'm cool with Jimmy.
I've always been cool with Jimmy. You know, do I want him to do more and not know. Right. So, you know, I'm cool with Jimmy. I've always been cool with Jimmy.
You know, do I want him to do more blackface sketches?
No.
Do I think for five seconds he was thinking about doing it again?
Oh, that was 20 years ago.
How many calls did you get from the Democratic Party after your statement that Democrats
worsened COVID-19 by focusing on impeachment over the pandemic?
Or did you even get calls from the other side?
Like, would you like to come on Fox and talk about it?
No, here's what happened.
And here's the problem with everybody.
No one reads the whole thing.
Everybody just reads the headline.
The headline.
And I'll tell you this.
A friend of mine, Mark Benioff, he owns Salesforce.
You know Salesforce force that computer software
company they have buildings everywhere he called me up and goes you are absolutely right now it's
the billionaire calls me up and tells me you're absolutely right no actually the billionaire read
the whole article and in the article i say donald trump is like the movie The Last Emperor. He's a five-year-old running the country.
Now, if you think a five-year-old is running the ship,
you have a responsibility to actually look for the icebergs.
Now, that's what I really meant to say.
So if Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats believe Donald Trump is competent
and they just disagree with his policies, then everything I said was wrong.
And I apologize. president and is unqualified to do this job, then yes, it is your job to not get caught up
in motion and to actually look for the icebergs that are coming towards America.
Yeah.
So, you know, yes, I'm a Democrat.
I'm for Biden.
I'm all, you know what I mean?
I'm all in.
But as the smarter people, you have more responsibility.
That's where the checks and balances come in.
I agree.
You said folks give Adam Sandler the benefit of the doubt when it comes to weird roles,
and you want that for yourself.
What did you mean by that, Chris?
Because some people would say, Chris.
I love, I love, I think Adam Sandler was robbed.
I mean, I thought Joaquin was great in the Joker, but man, how did Adam Sandler not get nominated for Uncut Gems?
That is, yeah, all this role stuff, whatever,
that's literally my best friend.
I love him like a brother.
And he was robbed for Uncut Gems.
That's a good movie.
And you're working on a new movie with him, right?
Yeah, I'm trying.
It's weird.
It's like all this therapy and all this stuff.
It's like I got my brain back.
Like I was having a hard time concentrating.
But now I'm just writing a lot lately.
So I wrote the script about a year ago to me, Adam, and Dave.
And yeah, it looks like because there's no touring,
it looks like it's closer to happening.
That's dope.
Wow.
Check out the new season of Fargo.
It premieres on the 27th of September.
And we appreciate you for joining us, Chris.
Anytime.
And for inspiring to learn how to swim,
because I don't know how to swim,
but I love the fact that you went out there and did it.
Come on.
I'm telling you, I got a guy to hook you up. I got a guy. I do not know how to swim, but I love the fact that you went out there and did it. I'm telling you, I got a guy
to hook you up.
I do not know how to swim. It's embarrassing.
Three weeks.
Your whole life will change. How you
do everything will change.
One last question is quick. In terms
of opportunity, is it better to be black
now in entertainment or in the 90s?
Or in the 90s?
I mean, the beauty of being black
is the future's always better.
There are no good old days.
Maybe musically, right?
All right.
Bro, that's so f***ing good.
The baby.
But, uh...
My goodness.
All right, Chris.
You would have no good old days.
All right.
Well, it's Chris Rock.
Thank you for joining us.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Thank you, brother.
Thank you.
Thank you.
She's spilling the tea.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, Tory Lanez returned to Twitter and said to my fans,
I'm sorry for my silence, but respectfully, I got time today, 9 p.m. PST.
And then he said there's a time to stay silent and a time to speak.
He also captioned a photo of his new album's cover art.
He said, I said all I could say on this.
So he put out a new album called Daystar.
Now I saw a lot of websites saying that this is the last time
they'll be reporting or covering Tory Lanez.
I do feel for him to do this at a time when we're still dealing
with the aftermath of Breonna Taylor not getting justice
and that is front and center in our minds and then Meg Thee Stallion clearly had an issue she
said she got shot in her feet you know it's just I think the timing of it was a little crazy and
people also have an issue with him capitalizing and making money off of putting out a whole album
where he's kind of going at everybody because it doesn't feel like he's sorry at all
on this album for anything that happened.
So let's go through some of the claims.
And it's a whole album of different things.
So we just picked a few things to talk about.
Now he has a song called Money Over Fallout.
And he does say in this song
that he still loves Megan Thee Stallion.
Can't cry now cause I'ma laugh later Girl you had to nerdy write that statement on that affidavit And he does say in this song that he still loves Megan Thee Stallion. was my bitch. I held it down and kept it real. I would never paint no fake picture of you. Just for some meals. And I thought that you was solitude.
But look at how you doing me. Look at how
you doing me. People trying to ruin me.
And what's even worse is I'm still thinking about
you and me. How you gonna lie on my birthday
with all your jewelry to try to make some fool
of me? But I love you hard so I'm gonna cool it
be. Oh God. What's happening
here? Now with Money Over Fallout
he also seems like he has an issue with people
talking about his height. He wants people to know he is
not 5'3". He's 5'7". Come back, don't you try repping Before I let these niggas breathe I gotta teach a couple lessons Gotta see a couple questions
How the fuck you get shot in your foot
Don't hit no bones or tendons
How the fuck your team is trying to pay me
At some whole minutes
I just lost like 10 million dollars
Because it's cold business
Tory, you're not 5'7", because I'm 5'6", alright?
I've seen the top of your scalp, sorry
Tory is taller than you
No, with the hair, he's taller than you
That is a goddamn lie
I've seen the top of Tory Lanez's scalp
That is a lie
Tory is, I'm 5'6 Tori is nowhere near taller than me.
You're only 5'6".
He's not.
Charlamagne's 5'5".
I'm actually 5'7".
You ain't no damn 5'7".
By the way, everybody that's 5'4", 5'5", 5'6",
always says we're 5'7".
I'm taller than Tori Lane.
Tori Lane's is Duvall and Kevin Hartight. You're not taller than Tori Lane's. I'm taller than Tory Lanez. Tory Lanez is Duvall and Kevin Hartight.
You're not taller than Tory Lanez.
I am!
Okay. Anyway, moving
on. Now he also
has a song called Sorry But I Had To
and I'm gonna play
these clips because these people responded, but he talks
about J.R. Smith.
J.R. Smith is the pot that pits
and you the last cat that should talk about some shots that hit.
Cause your performance and percentage playing rolling, riding benches,
hugging, I'm from the trenches, hugging.
You the type to buy a chick an 80 inches, still won't get an inch of money.
What?
I just don't know what's happening.
I really don't.
I don't know who is advising Tory Lanez,
but whoever's advising Tory Lanez,
Tory needs to fire them.
And if nobody's advising Tory Lanez
and he's just listening to himself,
don't.
J.R. Smith said,
this clown shoots a female
and y'all listening to his music like it's okay.
TF, Tory Lanez, you a straight clown.
He said, and tell whoever to hit my line,
it's whatever. Yeah, I mean, listen, Tory's right when he He said, and tell whoever to hit my line, it's whatever.
Yeah, I mean, listen, Tory's right when he says there is absolutely a time to speak if he chooses to.
But that time is not a day after we just watch police officers get off for shooting a black woman.
Yes, Tory's side needs to be heard, but not today, Tory.
No.
All right.
Now, in this song, he also addresses Dream Doll and Masika,
who took Meg the Stallion's side.
Give me one Dream Doll hit record, I'll wait.
Hey Masika, this your chance.
You and every Twitter debate and every shade room comment
like common sense ain't common sense.
Like we be needing your two cents and all your vents.
Faking or kidnapping for your only fans
and trying to front like missing kids was your intent.
If that's the type of shit you teach in college, then you should sit in a pen and watch people disagree. Dream Doll responded by posting some DMs, messages that she had gotten from Tory Lanez.
She said, Since you came for me the first time, sadly, you could try and diss me again this time for not having a hit. But yet my biggest record was exposing your corny ass to this day.
Always coming for females, but keep digging your hole.
Daystar Peterson, you effing lame.
Man up and go on live, vagina.
You know the vibes.
SMD, big head, big in his shrimp.
And she put a shrimp emoji.
Tory Lanez.
Listen, I will admit, I don't know what's true and what's not true,
but if you're going to get on an album and say all of that,
you might as well tell us the whole entire version of the story,
and not on Instagram Live, not in an album.
You know, write a statement.
You might as well write a statement if you're facing some type of charges
or people are accusing you of something.
Like, I don't get it.
I really don't.
I assume.
There was only four people in that vehicle.
So, I mean, everybody knows what's going on.
Like, there was four people in that vehicle.
You know what I mean?
Well, those four people aren't talking.
And, you know, Tori, even in the music, I guess he's trying to say none of us should judge.
Right?
But give us a statement.
You're telling us what happened in the music.
Just tell us what happened, period.
May got a story. You got a story. I'm sure telling us what happened in the music. Just tell us what happened, period. May got a story.
You got a story.
I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle,
but whatever.
I don't know.
All right, well, he is currently out on bond.
He posted a $35,000 bill on July 12th,
and he's due back in court on a felony charge in October.
So I don't know.
Maybe him putting this out right now is ahead of that
because it's almost October,
but he also has a song called Queen and Slim So I don't know, maybe him putting this out right now is ahead of that because it's almost October.
But he also has a song called Queen and Slim, where he does seem like he's talking more about what happened that day.
And it has to do with Kylie Jenner. Listen to this. Next time to pull with you and Kylie hopped in, it's cool and wild.
And she was looking like an angel, looking like a baby in a manger.
Hot step went to the car.
Motherfucker, but bitch, you got me f***ed up.
Oh, my God. What? Say what? Put out a turn at everybody thing. I wasn't the wrong one that night. You was just too drunk to even see it.
Oh, my God.
What?
Say what?
The who shot you instrumental is just sitting there waiting for Tori to make another mistake.
Like, this is just foolish.
Like, I don't.
If you got a court date in October, why don't you save all of this for court?
Let it play out in the court of law.
Why are you letting social media push your hand like well maybe he feels like people been making statements and talking about him and and he
feels like it's his time to try to halfway answer maybe that's what his that's his feelings are
listen to what you just said the halfway answer you can't i gotta say because i mean
there's a lot more that he does say on the album about things that happen.
And look, and I just want to be clear here,
because I was torn about whether or not we should be covering this.
But then I said, we do need to cover this because he's telling his side.
There's two sides, right?
Yeah.
So let's see what happens.
And so that's why we're doing that.
We're letting him have the platform to be able to tell his side.
I do still, no matter what,
always feel like we need to always uplift Meg Thee Stallion
because she went through something really traumatic.
Regardless of how it went down, it was traumatic for her.
So it's not a time to be making jokes or coming at her.
It's not funny.
No, it's not.
All right.
No, not at all.
Meg Thee Stallion is going to be the musical guest, by the way,
on Saturday Night Live, October 3rd season premiere.
And Chris Rock, who was just on The Breakfast Club, will be hosting.
All right, I'm Angela Yee.
I'll tell you what, what you don't want right now is Meg, the stallion talented ass getting
in that booth, really telling the story.
You think Meg and the stallion don't got a mean Tory Lanez diss record in her?
You think she don't got a mean 16 or 32 for Tory Lanez?
Come on now.
She might do a song, her and Dream Doll might team up and do something and they
might put Kalani on it.
You know, everybody he was coming at.
What if Megan
get on the Who Shot Ya instrumental?
Ooh. Furthermore,
Tory Lanez. But I don't want
them to go back and forth like this.
Like I said, I think this was really traumatic for Megan.
And I can see that she really does want
to just move on, keep on dropping them hits, keep on working.
But, you know, he's telling his side.
Also, I was told, I haven't heard it,
our producer Dan told me that he uses portions of the donkey of the day
that I gave him in his intro.
You didn't clear that, Tori.
Hey.
Hey.
Mr. Independent, you didn't clear that. Okay?. Hey. Hey. Mr. Independent. You didn't clear that.
Okay?
You know, that happened to me the other day.
Somebody was like, you got to do something.
I'm like, you remember that time?
You know you didn't clear me.
You didn't clear that.
You didn't clear that.
I just wanted to let you know.
Anyway, all right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
Now, Charlemagne.
Yes.
Who you giving your donkey to?
We need Charles Barkley to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with him.
All right.
Please.
All right.
We'll get into that next Keep It Locked.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Don't be a donkey.
Because right now you want some real donkey shit.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel.
Did she get donkey in the name, please tell me?
Absolutely.
I have become donkey of the day.
At the breakfast club, bitches.
You're a donkey.
Donkey of the day for Friday, September 25th goes the NBA legend Charles Barkley.
Charles Barkley is one of the hosts of one of my favorite TV shows inside the NBA.
He was on TNT last night.
And he had this to say in regards to the
Breonna Taylor verdict. Let's listen.
I am worried that
we lump all these situations
in together. And
I feel just bad the young lady lost
her life. But, you know,
we do have to take into account that
her boyfriend did shoot at the cops
and shot a cop. So, like I say, even
though I'm really sorry she lost her life,
I don't think that we can just say we can put this in the same situation
with George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery.
I just don't believe that.
Sir Charles, in the words of me, Leonard McKelvey,
but I guess now Dave Chappelle since he used this phrase the other night
at the Emmys, shut the F up forever.
Okay?
I don't understand, much like Tory Lanez,
why right now Charles Barkley is talking. Well, I take't understand, much like Tory Lanez, why right now
Charles Barkley is talking.
Well, I take that back.
I understand why he's talking.
It's his job,
as it is mine.
But if you're going to talk
about a situation like this,
could we deal with the reality
of the situation?
Could we deal with the facts
of the situation?
Simple and plain, Charles,
Breonna's boyfriend,
Kenneth Walker,
is a law-abiding citizen who has never been arrested ever.
He was a legal gun owner who thought someone was breaking into his house.
There is not a gun owner person on the planet, all right, especially here in America, who would not have done the same thing.
He literally fired a single shot, one shot downward to scare what he thought was intruders. Charles said her boyfriend, Breonna Taylor's boyfriend, Kenneth Walker,
shot at the cops as if he was just in his crib,
saw I was the police, and started recklessly busting.
No, that's not how this went, Charles.
I am a black man from South Carolina, born and raised,
Geechee to the core, and I totally believe in the Second Amendment.
We all have the right to keep and bear arms.
Kenneth Walker was a legal gun owner. He was doing what the Constitution says
Americans can do. But sadly, Charles Barkley, like so many white folks in this
country, doesn't think the Constitution applies to black people.
That can be the only excuse, Charles, because I don't see why you would get on TV and paint
a picture of Kenneth Walker in this way when the reality is even that
crooked- ass judicial system
in Kentucky originally charged Kenneth with attempted murder of a police officer. And then
those charges, that indictment was dismissed without prejudice. Now, Charles, I don't know
if you know or not, but Kenneth Walker has filed a lawsuit. See, Kenneth is seeking immunity for
firing one shot that injured a Louisville officer the night the search warrant was executed.
He is seeking immunity under Kentucky's stand your ground law, which protects anyone acting under self-defense.
Contrary to your popular belief, Charles Barkley, Kenneth was acting under self-defense.
As Kenneth said, Breonna and I didn't know who was banging on the door, but the police know what they did.
The charges brought against me were meant to silence me and cover up Breonna's murder. Do we have that audio clip?
Can we play that? I was laying in bed with Breonna around midnight watching a movie. All of a sudden,
someone started beating on the door. They refused to answer when we yelled, who is it? 15 minutes
later, Breonna was dead from a hell of police gunfire, and I was in police custody. The police
arrested, jailed, and charged me with murder of a police officer.
I was raised by a good family.
I am a legal gun owner and I would never normally shoot a police officer.
Breonna and I did not know who was banging on the door, but the police know what they did.
The charges brought against me were meant to silence me and cover up Breonna's murder.
For her and those that I love, I can no longer remain silent.
That's right.
The charges brought against me
were meant to silence me
and cover up Breonna's murder.
A cover-up.
A cover-up which no one seems to be talking about, Charles.
If you're going to use your platform
to chastise somebody,
chastise the police.
Chastise the judicial system.
Ask some questions.
Okay?
Why do we always have so much smoke for each other,
even when we are victimized,
but don't have no smoke for the actual people victimizing us?
Now, I'll be the first to tell you.
Do I think the cops went in Breonna Taylor's house
with the intention to kill a black woman?
No.
It was a series of events that led to all these mistakes happening.
Cops ran in thinking they are running into some sort of trap house.
A shot is fired because Kenneth Walker thinks they are intruders. Cops fired back because they are running into some sort of trap house. A shot is fired because Kenneth Walker
thinks they are intruders. Cops fired back
because they think they are in a drug house with dangerous
criminals. That's what I believe
and this is just a personal belief, but
what I also believe
is once they found out they actually killed a
black woman and a mistake was made,
they tried to cover their ass and it makes it
easier to do this because it
was a black person. Look at the mistakes they tried to cover up ass. And it makes it easier to do this because it was a black person.
Look at the mistakes they tried to cover up.
All the things they lied about.
Charles, if you need a few facts for your next broadcast, here you go.
Number one, no forced entry.
Clearly it shows that her door was busted open.
Cops said they knocked.
Why would you knock if you have a no-knock warrant?
Two, the first police report said that she had no injuries even though she was dead. Three, before they executed the search warrant, they sent the ambulance away.
They're supposed to keep the ambulance on site.
And four, the lieutenant lied on the probable cause affidavit,
which was the basis for the no-knock search warrant in the first place.
With all those mistakes made, nobody is held accountable.
There is not a job in America where there aren't some consequences for making a mistake.
In this case, a woman lost their life.
That's a hell of a mistake.
Someone has to be held accountable for that.
Charles, clearly they gave you zero prep about this case
before you went on the air last night.
There's no way in hell you can't see the injustice in this situation.
Charles, I've been following you for a long time.
I remember when you were on Costas tonight
and you said that you carried a gun in your car
every day of your life since you were 21 or 22
but you never had to use it well kenneth walker did and he shouldn't be punished for that under
the letter of the law also charles barkley i remember according to the la times when you got
stopped on the atlantic city expressway and got arrested for carrying a loaded handgun you got
charged with carrying a deadly weapon but the charge was dropped because it was an illegal search. Do we have any audio of this?
I carry a gun.
You live in Arizona, where you can legally carry a gun.
Even when I lived in Philadelphia, I've had a gun.
I carry a gun in my car every year of my life since I was 21, 22.
My point by saying all of that, my point by even bringing that up,
is number one, you clearly believe in two-way.
And so did Kenneth Walker.
So do I. Only difference between you and Kenneth is Kenneth had to bust his gun because someone
ran up in his house. Just like I'm sure if people would have ran up on you in your car,
you would have defended yourself as well. Charles, we are talking about injustice.
Okay. Yes, you can put this in the same case as Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd,
because an injustice was done to Breonna Taylor.
She was not a threat to the police in any way. At the least, it should have been second-degree
manslaughter, but Charles, you clearly don't care about the facts. If you do care about the facts,
you only care about them when it pertains to white people. You owe Kenneth Walker and Breonna
Taylor's family an apology because you're implying Breonna Taylor is dead because Kenneth exercised his right to bear arms.
If the cops aren't at fault here, then nobody is at fault here.
And that's the way we should leave it.
Charles, we already got America blaming us for the pain this country causes us.
Let's not as black people victim shame and victim blame each other.
Please let Remy Ma give Charles Barkley the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
You stupid mother******, you dumb.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Well deserved.
Mm-hmm.
Up next, we have attorney Benjamin Crump and Tez joining us.
Tez Figueroa.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
You're checking out
the world's most dangerous morning show.
Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show,
The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God,
Angel Lee, DJ Envy,
and we got two very important people
on the phones right now.
We have attorney Ben Crump,
and we also have the host
of this great Shot No Chaser podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network We have attorney Ben Crump, and we also have the host of this great Shot No Chaser podcast
on the Black Effect Podcast Network with iHeartRadio, Tezlyn Figaro.
The hood whisperer.
Tez, what's happening?
What's going on, family?
Glad to be here.
Sad under these unfortunate circumstances, but thank you for having us.
I was hoping you guys could walk us through what happened because I know people have questions,
and I know you do have a 1030 a.m press conference to address everything from the family side this
morning so if you could just give us some insight on Breonna Taylor and what they decided to indict
one cop on thank you Angie and also thank you Charlemagne Envy for allowing us to be on the
Breakfast Club to hopefully educate people and engage people
and empower people in the aftermath of these sham proceedings from Daniel Cameron,
the Kentucky Attorney General's grand jury proceedings.
Angie, we continue to be baffled, like Breonna Taylor's family, my co-counsel's attorney, Lonita Bacon, Attorney
Sam Aguiar, as to what exactly did the Kentucky Attorney General present to the grand jury?
Did he present any evidence at all on behalf of Breonna Taylor?
And Charlemagne, if he did not, then he unilaterally made a decision to put his thumbs on the scales of justice to exonerate these killer cops for murdering Breonna Taylor in the sanctity of her own home and made certain to deny Breonna Taylor any due process, having her family have their day in court, and made sure that she didn't have any justice. And that is why we
are demanding that Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, this young black Republican,
release the transcripts of the grand jury proceedings so we can see if Breonna Taylor had a voice at all in there. I mean, Angie, for 191 days, we all were yelling, say her name.
And in the indictment, he doesn't say her name once.
It makes me wonder, Attorney Crump, was this ever really an investigation into Breonna Taylor's actual murder? You know, that is the question, Charlemagne,
because when you think about the fact that he keeps proclaiming this one neighbor who said that
the police knocked and announced their presence, even though our legal team have recordings of 12
neighbors who lived in close proximity to Breonna Taylor's apartment who said they never
heard the police knock and announce their presence. And also the fact that that one neighbor who said
that he heard the police announce, well, they gave two previous statements, Angie, where he said he
didn't hear the police knock and announce. So did he tell the grand jury that,
or did he just tell him this third version of that neighbor?
And Charlemagne, did he present the 12 other neighbors to the grand jury?
And the big thing, when you think about the context of why they were there
in the first place at Breonna Taylor's apartment
and allowed to bust open her front door,
it was based
on a lie on this probable cause affidavit that was performed by this lieutenant who said the
United States Postal Inspector said Breonna was receiving packages at her apartment. Well,
the United States Postal inspector came out and said that
is not true. They have
that Breonna didn't receive
any packages to her
apartment in the year of 2020.
Did Daniel Cameron
present that to the grand jury?
And I know this foolishness
about self-defense. I guess
I should explain that for a minute.
He tried to say, Charlemagne, that
there were no charges brought against Breonna for her death because her boyfriend, Kenny Walker,
who was registered as a gun owner, a law-abiding citizen, as Teslin and I have talked about,
the fact that he's never been arrested in his life. When he exercised his rights to the Second Amendment to protect his woman and to protect himself and to protect their castle,
they act like a black person can't use self-defense against Kenny Walker applies to Breonna Taylor, who by definition was an innocent third-party person if you're trying to say you were exercising your self-defense rights
against another person who was an aggressor.
And everybody has said that Breonna did not have a gun,
that Breonna posed no threat.
She was a black woman in her apartment, barely clothed.
She was in her underwear when they put six bullets in her body and mutilated
her. Now what about for people that
said that they feel that because
the family got the money in the
civil suit a couple days ago, that that
was the reason that they lost the case
or nobody was charged? Yeah, well, first
of all, that's the biggest bunch of BS
that's circulating on the internet.
There is no such thing as
once you get a settlement on the civil side
that has any direct correlation to the criminal side.
There's no such thing as saying, oh, well, I'll just take the money
and don't worry about charging the murderer of my child.
Those two things have nothing to do with each other.
I know that, like you always say, Charlamagne,
the lies are more entertaining than the truth,
and that's just a lie that's just flat out not true.
And it's disrespectful to the life of Breonna Taylor.
It's disrespectful to her mother that birthed this woman.
And the two have nothing to do with it.
And if the civil side was not, if they didn't get any justice on that side,
we wouldn't have anything at all right now.
There are three things that happens when we talk about justice.
One, it's hitting folks in the pocket.
At some point, they're going to get tired of paying out these multimillion-dollar settlements.
Two is when we protest and when we continue to scream, yell, say their name.
And then three, it is the policy.
Since the murder of George Floyd, there's been over 100 cities that have enacted police reform all over this country.
So we are making some progression in police reform.
But this is another opportunity to show where the light to expose how those who are elected in office matter.
This is a statewide seat.
Let's ask the Democrats, what did they do on the state level that Daniel Cameron was able to gain a receipt, a seat that was once held by a Democrat?
This is the first Republican that was elected to state attorney general since 1944.
So when we hear all of this, Trump is bad, Trump is bad,
oh, we all getting out to vote. Let's look at the numbers. How did this happen in 2019? What
does that say? That says that Republicans are serious about taking over, getting back in these
state elected seats from the state and the local while we're all talking about Trump, Trump, Trump,
Trump, Trump. They're moving. It's not a game. It's a campaign. They're moving forward. Did he
get the seat because he said he was the first black elected, which once again shows that just because somebody's black does not mean that
they have my back. These are the things that we have to look at when we look at the science of
the politics of it all. And this is another issue on showing that yet again, politics has failed us.
And yet again, we have to look at how did it happen? And it doesn't just fall just on the
voters. Kentucky has a democrat
governor this is a democrat pretty much predominant state so when people say oh well you know it's
kentucky that's just kentucky no democrats run this state so what happened at the state level
all right we got more with attorney crump and tez figueroa when we come back so don't move
it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj nv angela yee charlamagne
the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with attorney benjamin crump and tez Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with attorney Benjamin Crump and Tez Figueroa.
Yee.
How is Brianna's family doing right now?
Because I know you guys have been in contact and obviously speaking with them.
So I do want to just ask on a human level, how are they handling themselves?
You know, Angie, Tamika Palmer is heartbroken.
She does not understand, as I'm sure you don't, either I don't,
how you get a wanton endangerment charge on her white neighbor's apartment next door to her,
but you don't get a wanton endangerment charge on her black neighbor's where a bullet went into her apartment as well above Breonna Taylor.
And the fact that you don't get any wanton endangerment charges for the bullets that
went into her apartment and envy, you don't get a wanton murder charges for the bullets
that went into her body.
I mean, nothing that Daniel Cameron did on this grand jury
makes any common sense or legal sense.
And we have to hold these prosecutors accountable
for losing these cases with these killer cops
that keep killing unarmed black people
in the most unjustifiable ways.
You know, Attorney Ben, you talked about the lie on the affidavit.
Why did none of the officers get charged for that
are trying to cover up what actually happened after the fact?
Man, you hitting the head of the nail so hard right now
because we don't believe Daniel Cameron ever presented.
In fact, I think he said, Angie, at his press conference,
he didn't present the fact that this lieutenant put forth this lie
on this probable cause affidavit.
So that wasn't even considered by the grand jury.
That's why we're saying, was any evidence presented on Breonna Taylor's behalf?
And the fact that, and the aftermath, as Tez and I talked about,
they had this three-page police report that was silver-flying Charlemagne to show that it was a conspiracy to cover Breonna's death from the very beginning.
It said there was no forced entry when we know her door was boistered in to allow them to get in.
And it also said there were no injuries, even though Breonna was laying dead.
And Charlamagne, they sent the ambulance away.
You know, when you have these policies and procedures that when it is foreseeable
when you execute this dangerous no-knock warrant, I mean, you coming in and playing close,
you're not announcing yourself, that's the very definition of no-knock warrant. And so you have an ambulance standing by because you can foresee that people
could be injured or police officers can be injured with all these gun laws.
They sent the ambulance away and Breonna, for at least 20 minutes,
lay there with those bullets bleeding on her hallway floor,
and they offered her no medical attention.
Wow. Listen, I know we got to wrap, but Tez, I want you to give us some hope, man,
some words of encouragement, a call to action, because I don't have any right now. Is there
a bright side to this situation? What's next? I think what we have to do is just continue to
press forward, but there's two things that we have to hold people accountable. One,
our own elected officials that we elect in office
and demand that they continue to advocate for our issues.
And we also have to stay woke on the fact that just because somebody's black
doesn't mean they have my back.
I keep stressing that because that was something that he used
in order to get in office.
And three, we have to know that this stuff does matter at the end of the day.
There has been police reform all over this country.
When we look at Colorado, for example, I encourage listeners to go look and see it,
all of the things that have happened in Colorado when we talk about police reform.
These types of actions have made a difference.
Shout out to Tamika, a sister out there that has been riding every single day in Kentucky fighting for this sister.
We have to all look at how does this all affect us in our everyday lives.
And, again, the three things that are most important,
we continue to push on the civil side,
we continue to push for the criminal side,
and we continue to push for policy.
This is not about blaming this family for getting a settlement.
When I know damn well that every listener that is listening right now,
if they went to Walmart and they slipped and fall,
the first person they would call would be an attorney.
You know, for this woman to lose her life,
you know, this family has the right, you know,
to sue this government.
And so these are the things that,
instead of blaming each other and blaming ourselves
and beating up on each other
and beating up on Attorney Crump
and beating up on the protesters,
let us all come together and push this line.
There is an election that is coming up on November 3rd.
If you are not motivated by Biden, if you are not scared enough of Trump,
then you damn well better be scared enough to know that you need to vote for your state and local elected officials
because that is what makes a difference in our everyday lives.
You know, trial lawyers, they teach us to evoke emotion because we know if people get emotional, they will act.
Hopefully everybody's emotional over the loss of our sister, Breonna Taylor.
So we want you to use that emotion like Tess and Figaro said
and go to the polls and vote, if not for Biden, if not for Trump,
but vote for Breonna because her life matters.
All right.
And her family would rather have her here alive than any amount of money.
So I just want to say that.
You better believe it. No amount of money. They would rather have her here. All right. of money. So I just want to say that to them. You better believe it.
No amount of money.
They would rather have her here.
All right.
Well, thank you guys for checking in.
Thank you.
Appreciate you.
Thank you.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, don't forget to tune in to the rebroadcast of the iHeartRadio Music Festival, the two-night event,
Sunday the 27th and Monday, September 28th at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, 7 p.m. Central, only on The CW.
You can hashtag iHeart on The CW.
Now, let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Rihanna.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. So, looks like some good news for you boys.
Rihanna Savage Fenty has men's underwear on the way.
And I want to officially start campaigning for both of you
to actually post sexy pictures on Instagram in this underwear,
this men's underwear.
What do you think?
I thought about that when I saw that.
I know you did.
When I announced that she had that, I was like, you know what?
That would make the gram go crazy.
You know what I mean?
But I don't want to break the internet.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't want to break the internet.
Shut up.
Yeah, so, I mean.
You sound so jealous that I would do that.
Like, don't you show off my goods on Instagram.
You stop admitting me.
Christian Combs is already part of it.
And the campaign images feature him.
That's, you know, Diddy's son.
And now y'all can get the little ambassador checks too from Fenty Savage.
I take my 45 ass up there and do that.
All right. Now. All right. up there and do that. 45.
All right, then he calls me 40 Boo because I'm 42.
Shut up, man.
You just be your kick.
You be making things up in your mind.
That's what he wants me to do.
Go ahead, Yee.
Along those same lines, Robert Kraft,
the owner of the New England Patriots,
will be cleared of massage parlor sex charges
so he will not go to trial on charges that he
paid for massage parlor sex.
They did drop that misdemeanor charge against
him. How'd he beat that? Didn't he have
cameras? I'm not sure
how he meant, you know, he's got a lot of
money so maybe
that's how. They said
he would be willing to pay the sex
charge. It was a misdemeanor charge.
It wasn't like it was a felony or nothing.
He would only got a fine
and he wasn't going to get jail time anyway.
So it would have been community service
and other sanctions.
All right, Nicole Brown Simpson's diaries
are going to be made public in a new documentary,
OJ and Nicole, An American Tragedy.
It's a two-hour investigation discovery special
that will coincide with the 25th anniversary
of OJ Simpson's acquittal in that murder case.
So her sister, Tanya, will read from the personal notes,
including explicit accounts of domestic violence.
There's over 60 incidents of beatings, and they just weren't admissible in court.
Damn.
That sucks.
All right.
And Garcelle Beauvau says says that Jamie Fox Is hung like a horse
Here's what she had to say
On a podcast
Why'd you look like that? Why'd you jump up like that?
Going to bed with Garcelle
She's talking to Jamie Fox about it
And here's what happened
Get it, why aren't you and Jamie together?
And I said well you know we have a really great relationship now
And then I said he's also hung like a horse.
I was like, what would I do with all that?
Let me go ahead and do this Fenty ad so I can have somebody say that about me.
Nobody's going to say that about you, bro.
You don't know.
Nobody's going to say that about you.
You've already told this numerous times that you're not that big.
All right, now let's talk about Allen Iverson on All the Smoke podcast.
Steven Jackson was talking to Allen Iverson and giving him his roses while he's here.
Listen to this.
We love you, bro.
And you gave a lot of people confidence when they didn't have confidence in themselves.
You let a lot of people know that they can be themselves and still be successful.
And it ain't just us, bro.
It ain't just basketball players.
You see what I'm saying?
It's rappers. It's everybody.
You gave them
the confidence to be themselves in anything
they can do. All of us, bro. And that's
why people follow you, dog. And you gotta accept
that. And you know why I'm telling you to give me your flowers? Because
you mean a lot to us.
We can't lose you. We just lost COVID.
We can't lose you. We gonna give you all the flowers
in the world, bro. Right now.
Steven Jackson, not lying.
Allen Iverson is a black cultural icon.
I ordered all three colorways of his jersey off eBay when I was a youngster.
I had all his sneakers.
Full disclosure right now, upstairs, I have a pair of questions in an Allen Iverson Michelin
Ness jersey because he is a cultural icon.
I love that man.
Yeah, I got every jersey signed, too.
Allen Iverson also talked about somebody who he hates.
It's not people that he hates, but there's one father-son crew he doesn't like.
There's one guy I know you know who I'm talking to.
I know.
I know you hate me.
And trust me.
Trust me.
I don't hate nobody.
Yes, I do.
I hate you.
And just trust me.
The way you hate me, mother----, I hate you. And just trust me, the way you hate me, mother****, I hate you too.
And I'm not mentioning your name
because I don't even want the whole world
to even know that God damn it,
I give you that type of love.
Oh, and you and your daddy.
Now, I haven't done any digging
to see exactly who this person is,
but I believe that it's Dan Levitard.
I need to know why he hates Dan Levitard
and Pappy, his father, so much. I wonder what happened there's Dan Levittard. I need to know why he hates Dan Levittard and Pappy, his
father, so much. I wonder what happened
there. Dan Levittard tweeted out that
he doesn't have an issue with Allen Iveson, but he can't speak
for his father.
Okay.
He could ask him.

Report. And by the way, New Music

She said, what about her mama?
I paused.
I said, I got to do what I got to.
Is you going to ride with me or you not?
And she start crying and said, I'm not.
And I paused.

salute my guy, Mayor Stephen Benjamin in Columbia columbia south carolina mayor steve benjamin um i i reached out to him a couple months ago you know i always do my annual book
bag drive but of course that didn't seem right this year because everybody is doing virtual
learning and so uh you know steve of course was already two steps ahead of me and uh he could he
connected me with uh ignite cities and his man, Sam Johnson, and Elevation Church in
Columbia.
And we were able to provide free Wi-Fi for the colony apartments in Columbia, South Carolina.
So that's why local elections are important, because those are the people that actually
make things happen in the communities that we come from and care about.
So salute to my man, Mayor Steve Benjamin in Columbia, South Carolina, and Ignite Cities.
All right.
All right.
We want good people representing us in office.

God know what not to give me
because he know what would make my...
Whoa! Wait a minute.

So God knows.

This is so crazy.
I'm talking about me.
If I had that.
Michael Hill said he got slapped with a penis on his forehead.
Is that what you're talking about?
If I had a woman saying that about my penis, my ego.
That's not what you just said.
Nah, that's definitely not what you said, man.
You said, Garcelle Buvo said, I don't know what I would do with all that.
And then you said, God knows what not to give me. don't tease me with a good time that's not what i meant
