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. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. We need help! 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.

The world's most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club. What the hell is this, man? I'm glad they put y'all together. Y'all are like a mega force. Y'all just took over every... Wake your punk ass up. This is Chris Brown.

I've officially joined the Breakfast Club. Say something, mother... I'm with it. The world's most dangerous morning show. Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, Angelique. Good morning, Charlamagne. Peace to the planet. It's Friday. Now, Envy is somewhere else. Where is he? In like Austin, I think he said.

Now, I know he's at work listening to us right now. Yes, because he can't connect. He can't connect. It's the ISDN line, and it makes it sound like we're all together no matter where we are in the world. Yeah, and so he's listening. What's up, Envy? How you feeling? Okay, great. Great, it's good.

So how was this Captain Marvel movie you saw? I thought, listen, I'm a Marvel fan, so I'm a little biased at all times. You know, I have Wolverine tattooed on my right arm. For those that don't know, I am a true comic book nerd. I thoroughly enjoyed Captain Marvel, though. Captain Marvel was stellar, if you ask me.

On a scale of one to ten? One to ten, I give it a 10, I give it a solid 8. Ooh. Solid. I mean, it's a good movie. And it's great connective tissue to Avengers Endgame, which comes out April 26th. But I enjoy date night. I enjoy date night because my wife bought our big bag last night,

so we was able to sneak some Tito's Burritos into the movies here. Tito's Burritos? Oh, my God. What's that? It's a burrito spot. You never been to Tito's Burritos? No. Really?

Is it only in Jersey? I have no idea where it's only at. I never heard of it. But I know they got a burrito called the Mac Daddy that I get without cheese. Because dairy makes me break out and it, you know, makes me use the bathroom a lot. Gassy. But, man, that Mac Daddy was amazing last night in the theater. But Captain Marvel is a good movie.

I think people will thoroughly enjoy it. Do you go to the movie theater where you can actually order food and drinks at your seat? Nah. I've been to one before, but I mean, I don't. That's my favorite. Now that feels like a real experience. I mean, they don't really have nothing I want to eat. Oh, no.

They have great menus at the one over here. But anyway, the first time I went was in Detroit. And after that, I was so spoiled. I was like, I don't know if I can go to the movies if I can't lay down. I'd much rather sneak my favorite foods into the movie theater. You know what I'm saying? Nothing like having a Chick-fil-A, some Chick-fil-A in the movie theater, or some Tito's burritos, or something you thoroughly enjoy.

All right. Not saying I don't thoroughly enjoy the food at the movie theater. Oh, no. I am saying that because I don't. Yeah, you did just say that. Yeah. I don't thoroughly enjoy the food at the movie theater, because I, oh no, I am saying that, because I don't. Yeah, you did just say that. Yeah,

I don't enjoy it. All right. I mean, it's just finger food, right? No, some places now have like full restaurants

that you can order from the full menu on and they want drinks and everything. Well, more of the story, make Captain Marvel a date night,

damn it, if you're in the comic books. If you're not in the comic books, don't try to jump into the, you know, bottom of the knife and catch up to the game, okay?

Because we're at the bottom of the knife when it comes to these to this last decade of Marvel, okay? All right. Okay. Well, sounds good. Well, we are about to do front page news, and we do have some special guests joining us this morning, correct? Yes, we got my man D.L. Hughley, who's one of my favorite people. He's one of the people that I thoroughly enjoy hearing from when it comes to any and everything.

And he has a new show debuting on TV1 that he'll talk about with us. And I'm sure he'll get us in trouble today in some way, shape, or form. Now, Andrew Yang is also joining us this morning. Yes, if you don't know who Andrew Yang is, he's running for president in 2020. He's a Democratic presidential candidate. He's the guy who wants to do the universal wage for everyone. Universal basic income, and he has a book out as well, The War on Normal People. Which I feel like I'm fighting every day.

He comes from the world of tech, so he has a lot of different types of ideas. Yeah, I don't know if he still has a chance in hell of being president, but he's a very interesting person. All right, and front page news coming up, we'll talk about Paul Manafort. He was sentenced yesterday, and we'll tell you what you need to know about that. All right, all that and more coming up on the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. I wonder why Kodak Black trying to convince us that he's pulling up in the demon. Like, did he have to say pulling up in the demon on God? Like, we believe you.

Okay. If you say you're pulling up in the demon, we believe you, Kodak. You don't have to say it on God. It's the World's Most Dangerous Morning Show, The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God, Angelia. I have no idea where Envy is. Envy's listening right now. Right now, he can't speak.

It's like when you're playing basketball, you're on the bench, and you're injured, but everybody else is playing, and you want to join the game so bad, but all you can do is sit there and scream and yell from your seat. I can call him a beige bastard, and he can't say nothing back to me? He would do that anyway. You waffle-colored Negro. We found out yesterday Envy loves waffles. You the color of cornbread.

And they say you are what you eat. Yes. All right. Okay, front page news. Paul Manafort, he was sentenced yesterday. Now, he was sentenced to 47 months, which is almost four years, for defrauding banks and the

government and failing to pay taxes on millions of dollars in income that he earned from Ukrainian political consulting. Lord have mercy. They actually are saying that he does have to pay restitution. That is going to range from $6 million to almost $25 million because we don't know how much money he will relinquish to the federal government when he has to forfeit that.

And he said that prayer and faith helped him get through this time. Now, prosecutors had asked for him to get somewhere between 19 and 25 years in prison, but the judge felt like that was excessive because he lived an otherwise blameless life and he was a good friend and a generous person to others. He was convicted on eight crimes, which ranged from tax fraud to failure to disclose bank accounts, but the most severe of that time

was for his bank fraud conviction and everything is running simultaneously, so obviously the longest sentence is what matters the most. He's been in solitary confinement for his own safety and he's already spent nine months in jail. So he is going to get credit for time served.

47 months. That's what, like four years? Yeah. Jesus Christ. That's a long, y'all think that's not a long time if you want to. That's a whole presidential term.

Well, people thought he should have gotten more. They were upset about that. They said a lot of people got more time for less than what he did. And he also hasn't expressed any type of regret.

The judge even said, I was surprised. I did not hear you express regret for engaging in criminal conduct. I hope you will reflect on that. Four years. That's all of high school. That's a bachelor's degree, bro. Four years is a long time.

Think about how much the world has changed in four years. And you got to go to prison for four years? Well, listen, like they said, people have gone to jail for more time for less. That is true. All right. Now, let's talk about University of Tennessee. Students did protest at a Tennessee basketball game. That's after the school had a very weak response to some students in blackface. Now what happened was it was an image and two of the four people, two of the white boys in the school,

two of them were wearing charcoal face masks and they captioned it, We four racial equality boys about to get this free college now that I'm black. Let's go. Hashtag Black Lives Matter. You get free college if you're black? Absolutely not.

Oh, I missed that one. Yeah. Listen, when I was in high school, people really think that. When I was in high school, I remember one of the kids in my school said the only reason I got

into the college that he wanted to get into because he didn't get into Wesleyan was because I was black. Why would they think that? Because of affirmative action? That's what they think.

But why would they think it was free? If college is free, I think I don't want it. Right. So the kids were not expelled. The school actually said they would be hard-pressed to expel students who appeared to wear blackface. They did talk about freedom of expression. Even though they did say it was wrong, there was definitely no type of action. They took no action at all.

So now the schools, in response to all of the protests that have been happening on campus, they actually had like a town hall meeting and 200 people showed up for that. So they're going to do some training in bias and sensitivity to different cultures. Oh, God. Yeah, exactly.

At this point, man, if you have to do racial insensitivity training in 2019, 2020, just burn the whole program down. All right? Okay? Like, why do you need bias and racial insensitivity

training in 2019, 2020? Everybody should know better. Here's a good thing. Don't do blackface. It's simple. That's the basics. That's old school. That's like saying the N-word.

Knock it off. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now, we got, tell them why you mad off. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now, we got to tell them why you're mad coming. All right. What do you call it now? And we should call in for that.

Get it off your chest. Get it off your chest. Tell us why you're blessed. Tell us why you're stressed. Yes. 1-800-585-1051. Whatever you have on your heart this morning, whether you want to express some anger or whether you want to express some gratitude, we're here for you.

It's the world's most dangerous moment. Also, it's International Women's Day. So let's shout out to all the important women in your lives that matter. I actually have on my International Women's Day shirt today. That's what that is? Yes, it says, every woman is art. Hey, let me tell you something. Marvel are geniuses,

bro. They put out Black Panther last February during Black History Month, and they put out Captain Marvel on Women's International, what's it called? International Women's Day. There you go. It's the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. 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. So you better have the same energy. Yes, it's The Breakfast Club, and we are getting it off our chest this morning. Tell us about your man. Tell us about your bless. Good morning.

Who's this? I go by Third Wave. I'm from Long Island. All right. Shout out to Strong Island. Yeah. What's going on? I'm a huge fan of the show.

It's great to be on. Hey, thank you, Third Wave. We appreciate you. What do you need this morning, sir? I got to get something off my chest, man. I'm sick of these artists that are doing it all for clout and for the social media nowadays. They're just characters, really.

I was wondering if I could rap something for y'all. Oh, Lord. Okay. All right, this is your fan, Charlamagne. Go ahead, sir. Go ahead, third wave.

All right. Y'all been worried about the wrong things. You take time out to figure it out. Flexing hoops and songs stink. Y'all just some vultures.

I'm sick of it now. Mind frame on LeBron James. Putting my guys on the payroll about to never lose my passion. I'm'm gonna keep on spazzing won't be everybody over so proud i know i'm on their mind taking notes so they could take a joke i've been on my grind like i skate on poles i got some greater goals i don't want to sign i got a squad i know you heard you sound like him and he sounds like you all your styles or something old what you do ain't nobody like me on the island.

Who else going from trap to acoustic? Who else touring Manhattan and wildin'? Who else got that pat and it's stylin'? Who else hanging out the hot black Lambo? Who else singing for a packed out venue? I'm a bitch, I'll all tap out and send you. Oh, God. Hey, you know what I like about you?

Like, you got good content, but, like, your flow sounds like every white boy who tries to rap in jail. Aw, come on. Are you white? No. I am white. I know. You sound like every white boy who raps in jail. Are you in jail?

Come on. Hey, but you got good content, though. You got good lyrics. It's just the flow and delivery needs some work, brother. Yeah, maybe you and Charlamagne could work together. I would love to work with Charlamagne. That's my plan. Yeah, I appreciate you too, man.

Have a blessed day. I'm praying for you. You too, man. All right, it is Get It Off Your Chest. Who's this? This is Knowledge, man. How y'all doing? What up, Knowledge?

What's up, man? Hey, Charlamagne. Charlamagne, I was going to get mad at you about you saying you need a break from white people. But after what you just reported, man, I see why you like I need a break from white people. Why do people act like white people breaks are bad? Like if you watch a slave movie or you see another unarmed killing of a black or brown person and you don't see any white people outraged about it, you want a little break from white people. Yeah, I totally agree. I totally agree.

Hey, you. Yes, sir. Do me a favor. Do me a favor. Hey, man, I know we've been talking about kills, and all right, whatever's happening to kills, it needs to happen. But, man, let's discuss Amanda Seals and that role guy, man.

Let's discuss her comments on it. Let's talk about it. Okay, let's hear what you got to say. It's a lot of misconceptions being, well, not even misconceptions. They're actually lying on Amanda right now. Well, Amanda, when she was up here, said that he had some type of problematic behavior, but she never met him in person. But I guess she was planning to. And then a few people hit her up and talked about behavior that he had. I think if she

had enough evidence, eight people come to her, I think they need to go to the authority before she used her platform to announce how creepish this guy was or is. You know what I'm saying? Just to get the, just do the right thing before she used her large platform to, you know,

denounce this man. That's all. All she said was she had some experiences with him over the phone. She talked to some of her homegirls and they said they had bad experiences with him. And then she said she told him, yo, you need to stop this predatory behavior. She said, I don't know what's going on, but you need to stop whatever it is that you're doing. I don't know.

They said the naked part. The naked part is what got me. If he did what he, if they came and he opened the door butt naked, that's inappropriate. I don't care. They said the naked part. The naked part is what got me. If he did what he, if they came and he opened the door butt naked, that's inappropriate. I don't care. Yeah, it's definitely inappropriate. That's what she told him. She said, yo, this is what I heard you did to some other people, so you need to knock that off.

Nah, we need to go to the authorities. Like, get them involved. Like, and let them investigate. Like, that's inappropriate. That's inappropriate, period. I'm with you. I just didn't like the headline that said Amanda Seals lied on Myron. Because he didn't want to talk to her. Myron Rowe. She didn't lie.

She didn't lie. She just said what she heard. Well, all right, man. Y'all keep achieving, man. All right. You too, Knowledge. We appreciate you. Peace, Knowledge.

All right. We are doing Get It Off Your Chest. Tell us why you're mad. Tell us why you're blessed. Call us up. 800-585-1051 and get it off your chest. Envy, you should call us. you're blessed. Call us up, 800-585-1051, and get it off your chest. Envy, you should call us. The Breakfast Club.

Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up. 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. What's up? It's The Breakfast Club, and it is Friday. And we are getting it off our chest this morning. We got Kiki on the line.

What's up, Kiki? Yeah, how y'all doing? How are you? I'm all right. Good morning. Good morning. I got a problem. What's the problem?

I don't understand it, man. It's good to ask you. You know, I go to the store. My wife wants to need some gas. We pull over. We get the gas. And as I'm sitting there pumping gas, a young lady in the hoodie at 5 o'clock in the morning asks me, excuse me, sir, would you happen to have a cigarette?

I said, no, I don't, but I do smoke cigarettes. So I went in the store, got a pack of cigarettes, gave her two cigarettes, went back to the car, and my wife was livid. I didn't understand why. I guess she didn't like you going out of your way for some women you don't know. Well, she wanted the girl.

Maybe she wanted the girl. Why? It's just a cigarette? It'd be one thing if you had the cigarettes already. So me going to get somebody a... You went and bought cigarettes for a stranger.

But I smoke cigarettes. Yeah, so you was going to buy you a pack of cigarettes anyway. And so you just gave her somebody a pack. Well, actually, when she asked me, he wasn't about to go buy them.

Maybe your wife wanted the woman to ask you for some grapefruit pump. Grapefruit pump? No. I mean, I just didn't get it. It's just a dollar worth of cigarettes. Sometimes you just gotta be like, you know what? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do something that would upset you.

That's all. If your wife's mad, she's mad. You ain't gotta fight it. You can't tell her what to be mad about. You just gotta figure out what made her mad and not do it again. There you go, Kiki. Now we got Chandler on the line. What's up, Chandler? Get it off your chest,

Chandler. Hey, how y'all doing? How y'all doing? I just wanted to talk to y'all this, well, you, this morning. Well, first off, tell your boyfriend to take you on a trip. Okay. Get on the plane, watch Lion King. After you watch Lion King. They do have Lion King on the plane right now.

Yeah, see? Go to Disney. Go to Disney for a day because you ain't been there. Then after Disney, go on like a little three, four day cruise just so you can see how it is. Yes, I will try to experience

some things I never experienced. I've never been on a cruise. I've never seen Lion King and I've never been to Disney World. I appreciate that. Oh, for sure. And if he does that all with you, make sure you marry him.

All right. Thank you, Chandler, for the advice. All right. Get it off your chest. Brendan, what's good? Hi. Hi. What's up?

Thank you to everybody for getting it off your chest on this Friday. Or, as you just heard, Freaky Freaky Friday.

Lord have mercy. What type of energy are we putting out to the world? Anyway, we got rumors on the way. We're going to talk about Jussie Smollett and the Chicago Police Department. Now they have launched their own internal investigation. Who, Jussie Smollett? No, the Chicago Police Department because of him. Oh, okay. Let's talk about it.

It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. 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 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 tried my 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! 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.

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 gonna figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, morning everybody.

It's DJ MV Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. Oh, you decided to join us? I wasn't late. Oh, you decided to join us? I don't know. I didn't hear you. Engineers had to get some things together, but they got it together. Okay. Shout out to everybody out. I'm out in Austin, Texas in this tech week, so it was all about tech last night.

All the HBCUs were together doing coding and stuff, so we had a little party for them. So shout out to Beast Moe, Marshawn Lynch, and me. We were there just chilling with the HBCU students, so we had a good time. Well, that's good, because we got Andrew Yang, who's running for president in 2020, coming in next hour. And he comes from the world of tech.

Yeah, he's huge in the tech world. All right, well, let's get to these rumors. Let's talk LeBron James. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report.

Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Are you ready for another HBO documentary? Well, it's going to be a two-part HBO sports documentary, and LeBron James is one of the producers for that. What's my name? I'm Muhammad Ali. What they going to be saying about Muhammad Ali now?

Don't come here with that BS on Ali. Well, this documentary was made with the full participation of his estate. And it's going to have never before seen photos and coverage from the family's private collection. It's positive though, right? Yeah, it's positive. It's positive. All right. All right.

So that's going to be coming out in May on HBO. LeBron wouldn't do anything like that on Ali anyway. I don't even know why I thought that hearing him. But salute to, that's great. I'll be watching that. It's directed by Antoine Fuqua, by the way. All right, Spike Lee, in the meantime, has announced that She's Gotta Have It season two

is coming as well, and that will be debuting in May, May 24th for that Netflix series. So if you watched the first season, I'm sure you're excited for the second season as well. Second season, the first season ended kind of weird. Started off really good, but'm sure you're excited for the second season as well. Second season. The first season ended kind of weird. Started off really good. But I will be tuned in for the second season. Yeah, absolutely.

That's the show I'll watch. Plus, they film it in Brooklyn. I'm from Brooklyn. A lot of places I watch on the show is familiar to me. So it's exciting. And She's Gotta Have It was a classic Spike Lee movie. So hopefully Fat Joe's back this season as well. He definitely is.

I saw a still shot that he posted. All right. Now, Jussie Smollett. Let's get back to him. It feels like a lot of things have happened since this whole Jussie Smollett investigation has started. Well, cops are now actually investigating their own department. And that's because there were so many things that were leaking. And they said now an internal investigation has been opened. And they're looking at our vulnerabilities.

There was all kinds of inaccurate information that was put out to the media, and they want to know who was putting all this false information out there. So another place that's being investigated. First of all, don't police need to hand over their phones when stuff like that happens? Let's see who was calling TMZ. Yeah, I don't know who was the leak there, but. They'll do an internal investigation. They got to do all that. They have to hand over their phone records to some of the people who they believe, I don't know who was the leak there, but. They'll do an internal investigation. They got to do all that.

They'll have to hand over their phone records to some of the people who they believe, I think. All right. And in addition to that, they're also going to be investigating dozens of hospital workers. Now, a lot of people were fired, and that was at Northwestern Hospital. A lot of workers and nurses for inappropriately accessing Jussie Smollett's medical records. That's where he was treated after allegedly being attacked by two men back in January. They said they did gain access to his medical chart.

You're not allowed to do that after he was accused of staging the attack. One of the nurses who was fired said the entire incident was a misunderstanding. All she did was glance at the record while looking for another patient's information. So she was fired for viewing the actor's chart. She's appealing that termination

and she's saying other hospital workers may have been let go for that same reason. How do you maintain a level of professionalism when you're in that type of job? Because think about it. These celebrities come in. These stories are top of the mind for everyone. They're on the front page of every paper. Everybody's talking about it on every platform. And human beings are just naturally nosy as hell.

Let me take a peek. Exactly. That's your professional duty though. Even when you go to the doctor, you go to your therapist, there's some things that are just supposed to be private. How do you not though? Like how do you not? Let me see what's going on inside my girlfriend's.

Girl, while I seen his chart. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. He really got it. I seen his chart. He wasn't hurt as bad like they said in the news. That's why people don't go to the doctors when they have problems because they're scared people will see him

or talk about him and that's part of the reason. Girl, you know how many got that syphilis? You better stop it. I seen his chart. Wow. Now, according to

the Chicago Police Department, they said there's a lot more evidence that has not been shared with the public yet. So we don't know what that is. But hopefully everybody stops leaking information. Man, when they gonna share some evidence on some white celebrities, man?

When the white celebrities gonna start acting up? I think Harvey Weinstein's pre-trial started yesterday. I like diversity in my celebrity dysfunction. There you go. I think St. Patrick's Day, white celebrities gonna really start cutting up. Oh, shout out to the island of Montserrat. That's their biggest holiday, St. Patrick's Day. I just saw a picture on their website where a lot of people

are already coming into town for St. Patrick's Day. It's like their biggest holiday. That's white people Mardi Gras. I think white celebrities are going to really start acting up around

St. Patrick's Day. That's when I think they're going to get into the game. All right, now, Idris Elba is in talks to replace Will Smith for Suicide Squad sequels.

Are you excited for that? No, because Suicide Squad sucks because it's a DC movie. Damn, that's the only reason why? DC Comics is trash. All right. Well, there you go, Idris.

I mean, I don't know what to tell you. I did see Idris last night in a trailer for a Fast and Furious spinoff or something. It's The Rock and the other ball head. Yeah, I've seen that. They've been showing The Rock and Jason Statham. Statham looks pretty good. Statham looks pretty good. Statham looks pretty good. That looks dope.

Is Chinese in it? No. No. It's a Fast and Furious spinoff, and I don't even like no Fast and Furious movies. But that movie looked dope, and they just started playing the bad guy. I was like, wow, I might actually watch that. All right. Well, the sequel to Suicide Squad is supposed to come out August 6th, 2021.

So there you have it. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news. Next, what are we talking about? Man, this story is really sick. And so I don't know if I'm going to do this story just because I feel like I want to put this person's name out there because he's a disgusting person.

But this story is awful. It involves a man from Texas, Javon Alexander Perkins. And when you hear what he did, you are going to want to bury him. Okay. Alright. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? A man in Texas, in San Antonio, Javon Alexander Perkins, 26 years old. He just confessed to raping a three-year-old female relative. He is frightening. Wow.

Now, let me tell you how they found out. The girl's mother noticed discharge in the baby's diaper. Oh, my goodness. I'm out of this one. My goodness. He gave the baby two STDs, and that's when they launched a police investigation. Mm-mm-mm. Chlamydia and gonorrhea. Oh. Jervon. How old was this baby? baby two STDs and that's when they launched a police investigation.

Chlamydia and gonorrhea. How old was this baby? Three years old. Get to the part when they killed him. When they let all Kelly hog time and cut his throat. If you have a vote, you can see what this man looks like. Jervon Alexander Perkins is his name. He admitted during a

polygraph test to raping the three-year-old while he was high on drugs. Why is he still alive? Why is he still breathing? So he's in custody on $100,000 bond on a felony charge of super aggravated sexual assault of a child. If he's convicted,

he faces a minimum of 25 years in prison. I hope they kill him in jail. They should kill him in jail. I hope he gets killed in jail. Like, how disgusting are you? Why did you even tell that story? I just wanted to put that guy's name up there in his face so you can see who he is, if you know him and know how disgusting he is.

I think you read that story this morning and you were disgusted and you needed to share it with everybody else because that's the way energy works. You need to get that off you. I saw the story yesterday and I have... You feel that way, you want us to feel that way. People are absolutely nasty. All right. A teacher in the predominantly Mormon state of Utah was placed on administrative leave.

That's because nine-year-old William McLeod had returned to school after attending Catholic Mass, and he had the ash on his forehead, and his fourth-grade teacher said it was inappropriate and made him clean it off with a hand wipe in front of his classmates. He started crying. Wow. Now, at first, he said he couldn't remove it because it's important. It's the beginning of Easter. But eventually he did remove it and started crying at nine years old.

Why did she tell him it was inappropriate, though? I don't know. I guess it's a predominantly Mormon state. It was inappropriate of her to tell him that. The teacher's name is Mona Patterson. She was called into a meeting with the principal and the school board. And she did call and apologize. She has to know it was Ash Wednesday, though, right?

Now she's been placed on administrative leave. Yeah, and he explained that it was his religion, it's the beginning of Easter, this is what I have to do, and she still made him remove it in front of the whole entire class. Yeah, I think she needed to give up religious discrimination for length. Because Jesus Christ, why would you do that to that young man? Yeah, awful. Now, in New Jersey, a town is proposing jail time for owners of loud dogs.

So if your dog is very loud. That's stupid. I heard that. Be careful, Envy. And that's Saddlebrook, right? Saddle River. Saddle River, yeah. Yes. So they're going to vote on this, but they said that if your dog barks, howls, or yelps for more than 20 minutes between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m.

or for more than 15 minutes between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. You could be subject to a fine of up to $1,000, jail for up to 90 days or up to 90 days of community service. All right, you sit there. Might be people

breaking in houses in Saddlebrook and that dog is barking. Saddle River. Saddle River. And that dog is barking warning the whole neighborhood and your dumb ass word.

You should be wondering why the dog keep barking over and over. But they got it, though, because Saddle River is a nice, rich town. They got a lot of money in Saddle River, so. It's a nice, rich town. They got a lot of money in Sadder River. It's a nice, rich town.

You know what I hate? I hate when dogs are barking, and people be like, man, shut your dog up. As if you could just tell the dog, shut up. As if you could just say, hey, shut up, dog, and the dog would just shut up. Just like trying to stop your dog from trying to hump on other dogs. Exactly. It's natural. That's what dogs do.

They bark. They got devices that you can stop your dog from barking on. Yeah, it's called a tranquilizer, and that's Peter jump on your ass for that. Not no damn tranquilizer. They have a device that when a dog barks too long, it gives them like a little... Shock. A vibration. Yeah.

Imagine if we did that to humans, it'd be considered evil and cruel. Y'all would be shocked to death. Exactly. Think about that. If we put that on human beings, whenever you want a human to shut up, we just shock them. Y'all so cruel to animals. It's a vibration, not a shock. A vibration.

Oh, so you're saying you wouldn't mind a little vibration. You might keep barking. You know what? I hate you. We've heard about you. Shut up! We've heard about the nine and a half inch dildo. You know what?

And we about to start barking right now. Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof. Look at him dying. Feeding for somebody to come in with a vibrator. Shut up, man. He really started barking. Envy is crazy. All right. Well to come in with a vibrator. Shut up, man. He really started barking. Envy is crazy. All right.

Well, that is your front page news. My goodness. All right. When we come back, D.L. Hughley will be joining us. My guy. This will be very entertaining. He has a new late night show that's about to launch in March. So we'll talk to him about all that.

So don't move. 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.

The Waikana tribe 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. Bullet holes, yeah. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

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. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building just celebrating his birthday the other day.

Yes, and one of my favorite people to hear any and everything from. That's right. Yes, I'm excited because there's so much going on. I'm like, I can't wait because I knew you were coming on the show. And I was like, I can't wait for us to sit down with you. Who do you think was the biggest snitch? This is my Michael Cohen.

Them two Nigerian dudes that beat up Jesse Smollett. Or Takashi 69. Or Takashi 69. Who was the biggest snitch? Takashi. Because Michael Cohen ain't really giving nothing up. Yes, he did yesterday. He hit.

Yesterday. I didn't see yesterday. He gave up a lot. I thought it was over. No, no. He had another. I thought it was over. No, no, he had another. I thought it was over last week, too. And he bought suitcases with, you know, when lawyers bring suitcases with wheels, somebody going to jail.

It's amazing how black people don't have no problem with snitching as long as the person they snitching on, we don't like. Yeah. Yeah, but I just, like them two Nigerian dudes jammed up. Nigerian, boy, they told fast, didn't they? I think, I mean, I didn't expect anything else. Let me tell you what happened. I'm not going to get in trouble and have y'all tell me that I'm a racist and I'm a homophobe and all of those things. Man, they told fast.

That would have ruined their lives. And you know what it is? There's such a cachet in being a victim. Like, you can't tell me that you heard that story and didn't go, ah. The first time I heard it, I said, that ain't true. That's bulls**t. I didn't believe it.

It had too much sauce on it. It did. Way too much. It put the gay sauce on it, the racism sauce, the news. The only thing that made me feel weird

was when he said he was a gay Tupac. I was like, why are you doing a show and, like, bragging about something that happened? He had index cards with him, too.

Two dudes. We were gonna go to Subway, but let's get our news and bleach just about something that happened? He had index cards with him, too. Two dudes. We were going to go to Subway, but let's get our noose and bleach just in case we run across that s*** from Empire. And then when I saw the whole fight thing, the first was supposed to be white dudes. Did you see them two African dudes? That's what I said. They look like Mbaku and T'Challa. I'm like, if you fight dudes like that, I ain't saying you ain't going to win, but you're going to miss some days of work. You ain't coming back to work the next day all with just one scratch on your eye.

But nobody wanted to believe someone would lie about something like that. I know I felt like there's no way. Who would just make something like that up? For what? A clout chaser. First off, if you want to fight two people, they shouldn't be from Nigeria. I mean, start off in another country from Africa. They're American.

They're American from the tap. You know what? Them is why we're here. White people saw the video. We need them, mother******. I'm not. Don't fight them. You know what they're going for?

Right. Right. You think Jesse should go to jail? I think that he should make restitution. He should do what everybody else does, say they're dope. But it got to be white drugs. It can't be...

Cocaine or something. Yeah, opiates, do it. Okay, opioids. You already said that, though. Yeah, that's smart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then make restitution. But I think whatever you get for lying to the police, he should get it.

Go jail time. Yeah. You think it'll be hard for him to get work now? I think infamy's better than fame. Really? Yeah, oh, absolutely. Now, I'm not saying that he'll be on a sitcom or a drama, but infamy works as good as fame does.

What do you think about R. Kelly? He's been in the news the last couple of days. Oh, my gosh. I think that it's obvious that he's a pedophile, but it says more about our society that it took a lifetime movie for us. Like, the charges that he's facing are from 98, 99. 91, yeah. 2003.

So it didn't become horrible until you had a documentary about it. And people get mad at me for saying this. If you're mad at R. Kelly, you gotta be mad at Michael Jackson. And it says a lot about society to let all that go on and then when there's a documentary, we get out ready. I don't care what you say about either of those two men. What's fairly obvious,

whether you believe they did it or didn't, they're both sh**ty babysit. Like, they're horrible babysitters. Listen, I'll listen to your music, but I'm not dropping my kids off at your daycare center. That ain't gonna happen. And then people go, how could you listen to R. Kelly and Michael Jackson songs after all the horrible things that they did?

The same way I could sing the f***ing national anthem. That's how. That's right. I don't think Michael touched them little boys though. Yeah, he doesn't believe it. I think Michael was a weirdo but I don't think he touched them little boys. Because he was staggeringly famous. If you would, two things would have never

happened. If he wasn't just as talented as he was we would have never turned a deaf eye to him walking around. A deaf ear. A deaf ear. And we saw him walking around. There's some deaf eyes out there. Park Worker got one. When I saw the butler and that eye was going every which way,

I had to stop. I got vertigo f***ing around with him, man. I was like, you can't win that. What are you talking about? But we would have, absent that much fame, people wouldn't make these kind of excuses. When he got in trouble the first time,

how did your first witness is a seven-year-old boy? Like, how are children defending a man? It's not strange that more kids didn't come up. Here's the thing. I can't say what happened or didn't happen, but serial killers don't kill everybody. They kill a lot of people. They don't kill everybody. Corey Feldman lot of people. They don't kill everybody.

Corey Feldman said something that I found interesting. He said that everything that he heard those guys say was true except for the sexual part. He was like, I don't think pedophiles can turn it on and off. I don't think so either. But here's the thing. Bar Kelly and Michael Jackson were the same kind of person in that they both got in trouble for that thing and couldn't stop doing it. There is a reason time after time after time that you find yourself in those same circumstances. and couldn't stop doing it. There is a reason, time after time after time, that you find yourself in those same circumstances.

And there's also something else. When you are separate from your family, like his family being ostracized from his family, he knows that they would never want it. You ain't gonna come. Joe Jackson ain't gonna let you be in the bed with kids. Man, you better get them kids out of the bed and fix your nose. You're scaring your mama. So I

don't know what happened, but I think it says a lot about our society that the things that offend us were always there and we waited until we could DVR it. Enough of this to kill a Mockingbird. Let's get some white people now. Absolutely. I want diversity and my dysfunctional celebrities.

Elvis right there in the grave. He got a lot of bulls**t we can dig up too. The problem is at the same time the grand jury was looking at R. Kelly, there was a Cardinal McCarrick, who is the highest-ranking American Cardinal. He was defrocked for molesting children over decades. How come he ain't in jail? Like, it was one dude who said he was molested by his priest from the time he was 13 to the time he was 28.

Now, if your priest still f***** you at 28, you got a boyfriend. Like, that's, come on, that's good. I think everybody who does anything to harm children, regardless of their status, should go to jail. 100%. My daughters are grown, so they'll sleep with me, and we'll, like, we'll come to New York, or we're on the road together

and they're coming. We sleep in the same bed, and we'll post a picture, and you should see people going insane, because there are a bunch of people in America or across the world that have not been touched the right way or have been touched the wrong way. So affection is foreign to them. But they said like I was one out of every six males has been sexually molested. One out of every six? One out of every six.

And they think that's low because who would you tell? We got two in this room. Yeah. Me and you. I wasn't. That wasn't. You keep saying that, but you were, this room. Yeah. Me and you. I wasn't. That wasn't. You keep saying that but you were a dear man.

You were underage. That girl was a sweet woman and don't you put your mouth on her like that. She showed me this. You thought you loved your woman at one time. No, I did not think that.

You said you liked it but it's just a jerry curl. I would get s*** at eight. Why wouldn't I like s***? Yeah, that was nice. At eight. I don't see that as something that was horrible.

Mm-hmm. You f*** around, you ask for something, and you get it. You're like, hey, girl, wait a minute. Like, I didn't want to keep doing it after a while. Like, my problem was I thought I was going to have to marry this brother. Like, wait, you... You might be traumatized and don't know it, though. Hold on, what made you stop, Dio?

Because that's what... I had the same reaction, too. I made her stop after a while. No. What happened was my mother, she came to pick me up. Since you found out, huh? And my mother was like, who is this bitch? Oh, yeah.

I remember you said that. Basically, your mother saved you. Yeah. And I was like, mama, don't. And then when I was walking around, I was like, thank you, Jesus. You had like Stockholm Syndrome kind of. That's not true. You felt like you had to go.

You're never going to see me on TV. It happened to me, too. But why you felt like you had to go? Because, you know. You enjoyed it. Yeah, it was fun. But you didn't want to go. Me too. And you felt like you had to go? Because, you know, I... You enjoyed it. Yeah, it was fun. But you didn't want to go. And you felt like you were saved when your mom saved you.

Yeah, because I was tired of her. So you didn't enjoy it anymore. I feel like that after several nights. You and your mom can come save you now. Right. Please leave. He's married. I'm going to wear you now.

Yeah. The feeling of wanting to leave after you have sex is not related to Stockholm Syndrome. It's because I'm ready to go to sleep. I don't know you. What can we talk about? All right, we got more with D.O. Hughley. 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. D.O. Hughley is here. Charlamagne? Now, D.L., I heard Terry Crews want smoke.

Here's the thing. In my experience, where I grew up, I was the first one, last one picked for a game, first one picked for a fight, right? So you, there were certain things I knew that if you did to me, I had to fight you. Absolutely. I, my

problem with him wasn't what he did, it was what I would've did. You not gonna be my agent and touch my d***, You're not going to do it. Greenblatt and Jan Leary ran my TV show. He got disrespectful. I chased him. The president of the studio, I said, you're not fitting ready to do this s*** to me. And I chased him off the set, physically going to fight him.

It's s*** you can't do to me. My father taught me that. So you're telling me that the only way I can be a man is the way he said to do it? That's not it. You can't touch my d*** and then send an invoice in. That's not going to happen. So it ain't about gender, it's about principle. It's about principle. And the idea that you think is

toxic to fight for yourself? I think for him in that moment, it was shocking to him because he wasn't expecting something like that to happen. It was the environment that he was in. And so that's how he reacted because I think sometimes if we're not in a position, we can say what we would do.

But until it happens, you don't know what might... But it's a reaction. It is shocking. It is shocking, but if somebody grabs your meat, what's the first reaction you get? Maybe somebody didn't grab your butt before.

But it was a difference. Somebody grabbed my butt. You didn't do anything. No, he didn't grab my butt. I finished DJing the club, right? Right. I killed it. This is what men do sometimes.

Right. I'm walking out the club, he smacks my ass. Wow, good job. You ain't playing no basketball game. You play football. People do not do that to DJs. They do it a lot. I'm going to tell you.

It wasn't a sexual thing. It wasn't like, oh, MV. They say the club was in Atlanta though. The club was out of Atlanta. Well now. Some might have been like, if that was me and somebody would have did that to me. But Envy instead was like, thank you. It wasn't a sexual feeling. It was a smack on my ass, good job.

I felt funny at it, but I was like, damn, he was just trying to comfort me. If anybody violates your person in a way that makes you uncomfortable, that's the definition of assault. My problem with this whole idea is when I was a little boy, this man down the street,

he was drunk, pulled a gun on me. I'm third, fourth grade. My father's going down the street to deal with this man with a gun. I'm on his legs. Please don't touch him. Please. He didn't do anything. Begging my father because this dude got a gun. Right. My father took that pistol out that man's belt, whipped him with it and said, never touch one of mine again.

If I saw that, you can't do that to me. And I resent the fact that you can only be a man the way he says you can be a man. And you know what's crazy? I feel like if I was

with my woman the way that he was with his woman, I feel like my woman would have jumped up and said something before I even did. Right.

But I'm going to tell you what. Yeah. If that had happened to me in front of my wife, it'd be hard to get a sandwich the next day. I know that. I'm not to tell you what. If that had happened to me in front of my wife, it'd be hard to get a sandwich the next day. I know that. I'm not.

And then what I really resent is how come those same people that are all up in arms about him being groped don't get just as mad when a dude that size gets shot. Wow. If he was parked in front of their house, them same people all meet to and write on him, if he was parked in front of their house and dark, they all meet to and write on him. If he was parked in front of their house and dark, they call the police on him. That's real.

So stop with this fake bull about how you can, this toxic master linnikin, you can only be a man this way and he's expressing himself. You're not a man by committee. A man is a singular activity. Like now they have all these committees telling you what it is to be a man. I had a man to tell me how to be a man. I'd rather be

wrong with him than right with you. I can't admit, though, at my age right now, whatever blueprint I had of being a man, I have totally ripped up. Yeah. Because it serves me no purpose at this point in my life. It actually kind of hinders me more so than anything. But you had a different experience. Like, when he got mad, I'm like,

what if I slap you? Well, if you took that same energy, we're not having this conversation. Yeah, that was kind of wild. You're not getting ready to do that to me. You think I'm going to let you do that? Now, I ain't saying I'm going to win, but you ain't going to have to. It's s*** you can't do to me. Have you and Terry Crews spoken? Because I know you want him to be on your show.

Of course I do. Because I don't have to have people on my side to have an opinion. Right. And I don't have to have these arguments at Twitter. Like, I thought it was weird that that interview was a year old, and then you get into some heat behind some bulls**t, you defending some broad, then everybody get mad at you, and that comes up. Yeah.

And I had seen him at Houston's two or three weeks after the interview aired. We didn't speak to each other then. So you knew it happened. Oh, so yeah. But you waited, so it ain't real to me. Listen, I'm not scared to have an opinion that people don't dig. I like your mind state, too, when it comes to just, you know, who you are as a man. Because I feel like it does have to be an individual decision based on your own principles.

Because I saw him recently. He just got in trouble because he said something like kids who have a same-sex family are malnourished. Let me, here's the thing. That was Terry Crews. He did say it. And I think that his idea wasn't off. His vocabulary was. You know what you'll never see me doing?

Apologizing for the s*** I said or taking it off to him. I'm responsible for what I said. I'm not responsible for the way you interpret it. That's real. Like, I remember when I defended Kevin Hart, they got mad. You don't like transgender women. That's ridiculous. No, I'll defend your right to be who you are.

It's just me. I'm lazy. I like my woman fully assembled These opinions are not the opinions of the breakfast club Here's the thing To me, nobody's above a joke or a perspective That's what I want us to get back to, man Can we get back to the jokes?

You cannot tell me you can't laugh at that R. Kelly interview this week I'm cracked up Come on People are too sensitive, man. Let me tell you, not only do people want to tell you how to act, which is appropriate, they want to tell you how to think. Yeah, and you know what? And then you can't be afraid of the fact, well, not that you're afraid, but you can't

not expect people to get upset either. What did you think when Steve Harvey and Monique were going back and forth? I felt it was sad because I know both of them. And I know Steve gets a bad rap and he's a good cat. And he tried something that I thought was cool. And I know she's in a different place. But the bottom line is I didn't think he tried to embarrass her. I think that you can make a mistake.

Like when they pulled up the meme of him talking about what he'd do for money, that was a 20-year-old joke. And they connected it to who he was right now. I hate that, man. Right. And that was just insulting. It's like we go back in time, take things out of context.

He was telling a joke that was on the best documentary, the most profitable documentary every day. Everybody laughed at that right in front of everybody. And all of a sudden, 20 years later,

you take it out of context and he's a sellout? Come on now. I thought that was out of line. All right, we got more with D.L. Hughley. 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. D.L. Hughley is here. Yee. You know what I find about you is that some things you say I agree with and some things I don't agree with, but it just is what it is. That makes us human.

Right. But I still like you as a person. Right. I never thought about canceling you. No, I might be like, D.L. That makes us human. Right. But I still like you as a person. Right. Even though I might be like, no, I might be like, Dia is ridiculous. Yeah. Yeah.

Or your thought is ridiculous. You know what I'm saying? But it comes from my wellspring. That's right. Like my wife gets mad all the time. Look, I'm telling you, every day she's mad. Her and my daughters

are mad about something I say. And I go home and cry in a pile of money. I don't care what you think. You think you live where you live because of what you think? Are they ever able to convince you or change your mind? Since I know you're, D.L., I look at you as a person who's very set in your ways. Sure.

And like you said, you say what you say. You don't apologize. But can you ever say, you know what? I look at this differently. I was wrong. Sure. And when it happens, I'll call you. I want to hear about it.

It's kind of wild though, because I'm sure that you used to get this too. My mom had been telling me for the longest, I don't know how to talk to people. Right. So when I hear from my wife now, it's like I'm hearing my mom all over again. She wasn't lying.

But you know the funny thing? But you talk to people for a f***ing living. Yeah, I know. But you don't know how to talk to people. Listen, I respect my mother and father.

I love them. But you push the broom. I dig it. Now, if I was talking about cleaning up an area, I would listen to you. Oh, my God. See?

There he goes again. I love my wife. She's the sweetest woman in the world. She goes to church all the time. I don't f*** with it. I'm telling you. We're not here because of your perspective.

We're here because of mine. Like, I love my daughters. My daughters get married too. Is your mama's thoughts going to pay for that or mine? Boy, that's what I'm saying. The Root about to take this clip and say, the male showman is confused. The DL Hughley are problematic.

But think about the support that your wife gives you to make you who you are now. That's absolutely right. Yeah, that's part of what it is. That's the support right there wife gives you to make you who you are now. That's absolutely right. Yeah, that's part of what it is. That's the support right there. A plane can't fly and it has to have weight, lift, and drag. It needs all those elements to fly. But it still wouldn't be a plane without the plane.

Think all that other shit could exist. Because you might be a loose cannon out here without your wife. I'm sure I would have several incurable sexual diseases. I just want my wife to know if she's watching, you're the pilot of this plane, baby. No, no. No, no, literally. My wife is the pilot

for s*** that is not a jumbo. Like, where we go, where we live, what color our houses are. But you can't legislate how I think. That's a fact. Nobody can. Like my son, I love my son. My son is the best human being I've ever met.

But I don't f*** with you like that. You're not going to tell me what to do. Why? Because you were slow anyway. Oh my God. Here we go. You know what? You got a point with that one. You got a point with that one. You a point with that one You got a good heart That don't mean I'm gonna

Make this paper of shame Leave me alone What are you doing? Although sometimes The perspective of somebody Who loves you And cares about you Is valuable

It is valuable But not more valuable Sometimes people are right Sometimes people are right They are I get what you're saying You have to have this perspective In this POV to be DL.

You need a comedian on stage. But that's him. I could be a better person. Yes. But I'm not trying to be a better person. I get what he's saying. I could be a better person. But be a f***ed up comedian.

Right. I don't want that. I get what you're saying. I like the place. I like where I am. Like, you know what it is? I haven't liked me for a very long time. But now I like with me. I f*** with am. Like, you know what it is? I haven't liked me for a very long time. But now I like with me.

I f*** with me. Me too, man. Okay. I feel you, bro. I feel you. When I'm talking, I slow down and hear what I got to say, goddammit. I want to hear you. I'm f***ing with you.

Do you know how long? Like, it's only you all by yourself all the time. If something goes wrong, I'm the first one to go. When a bill comes to that table, when I owe the IRS a million dollars, she didn't go, let me get a job. She went, you better handle it. Well, tell them about your talk show, man. It's going to be all this.

Finally, finally, somebody can do right things. Listen, I'm excited to watch this. What network is it? TV One. You know, I'm glad people would take a chance on it. TV One, let's go. That's all we need, though. After CNN, they were like, ah, nah, we ain't going to do that.

That's all we need. When does it start? March 18th. Really, the basis for this, what I want to do, is what you all do. I think you challenge convention. I think you're human, and I think you're bright, and I think that's a rare combination. So that's why I think you guys are successful as you are. And I'm going to try to do the same thing.

Oh, but you've been doing it. Not as nice. We didn't even get to talk about none of the presidential candidates or nothing? Yeah, I don't. I saw you. I don't f*** with Bernie like that. All the s*** you talking about in your life, where have you been able to do it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You can't look like a men's warehouse manager and all of a sudden tell me you got all these great ideas. And you're almost 80 years old. When have you done it? Right. Yeah. Who do you like so far far like kamala i like kamala i didn't like her stance on truancy i thought to send people to jail because they're missing school that i thought that idea was brilliant though i'm gonna tell you why okay in california there was the proposition 13 it tied everything to property so my neighborhood specifically Wasn't wealthy So they took away our buses They took away our after school programs So we had to walk

Seven miles from my neighborhood To Gardena High Through other neighborhoods So if you walk into school All the gangsters didn't go to school You went with nerds So they went to school And every day you got your ass whipped

So you got tired of it And you stopped going to school So it was cause and effect. So why would you punish me for somebody taking those resources? If you look directly at what happened in California, Proposition 13 and the spike in crime and drugs was because

they took those resources. No after school program, no job program, no buses, no summer program. No, you're absolutely right. But here's the thing about the Trinity program. She didn't lock nobody up. It was a scare tactic. She was like, if these kids ain't coming to school, I'm going to come lock the motherfucking parents up. But why scare? Sometimes you got to scare people.

But even if you can't scare somebody into changing their circumstances. That's true. You're going to punish poor people for being poor. What do you think about reparations? All this conversation about reparations. I think absolutely. Let me ask you something you pay reparations

to Japanese that's right why is that a foreign concept if you gave us a fair shot which is a fair education which we get

just as good as everybody else that to me could be some kind of reparations too but you can't just say we don't owe you I do think

that this nation owes the descendants of the people they brutalized. And the fact they offered us 40 acres and a mule and snatched it back. Give it to us.

You know what I'm saying? Now, I don't think it is worth somebody using that as an ad because all you need is an ad that says, she wants to pay black people for s***. You don't want that s***. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because black people don't really think.

You don't really think they're going to really give you reparations. Now, Andrew Yang, the 2020 presidential candidate, he wants to give everybody $1,000 through the universal basic income. Every person gets that $1,000 to start with, whether you're working or not or whatever. You get $1,000. $1,000 a month.

Everybody. White people, too. Yeah, everybody. I say you drag people. Everybody. Just only black people? No, he said everybody. Ah, f***ing man. Yeah, everybody. I say you drag people. Everybody. Just only black people? No, you said everybody. Ah, f***.

Come on now. Exactly. I think everybody should get to go to Red Lobster every Sunday for free. But the Cheesy Biscuits is for s***. All right? But he did have a whole plan behind it that made sense. Because they do that in Alaska. Yeah, but that... And it works in Alaska. No, but that, no. And it worked in Alaska.

No, there's a dividend off the oil. Right. That's what he was saying. But he was talking about all these huge corporations that don't pay taxes, like Amazon. He wants to take 10% off goods and services in the tech industry. Hey, man, I thought Amazon, like Amazon is one of those companies that comes in, they take more than they give. Mm-hmm.

And people, like you pay them to basically move. And then they don't pay any taxes basically move. And then they don't pay any taxes at all. They like, well, they ain't no worse than a football team. That's what I want.

Give us 400 years for the next 400 years we don't got to pay no federal government taxes. That'd be cool. That'd be great. I'll take it. I'm with it.

Or a deduction. Like, what's your deduction? I'm going to do it. That's one exemption. That's one exemption. If you excuse me, I'm going to get

my free cheese. You know what I mean? I love it. D.L. Hulby, ladies and gentlemen, make sure you check out his show. March 18th. That's one exemption. If you excuse me, I'm going to get my free cheese. D.O. Hughley, ladies and gentlemen, make sure you check out his show. March 18th. The D.O. Hughley Show. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

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 create 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

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,

Yes, happy International Women's Day. All day. Yes. Now let's get to the rumors. Let's talk R. Kelly. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, part two of R. Kelly's interview with

Gayle King aired yesterday. And what we did learn was that R. Kelly does not have that much money left despite having written all those hits and been on the road and all these performances. Here's what he said. Kelly says what really cost him is the people who had access to his bank account, something he found out from a bank teller. I had like $350,000 in the bank. And I told her, look, take that.

I'm going to start a new account. And that's the way it is, right? So she said, okay, it's going to take six or seven business days to clear. Does that make sense? Hell no, that doesn't make sense. You can write a check from one account and put it into another account immediately if that's your money. Kelly should have $300-something million in the bank, man. 300-something thousand? Jesus Christ.

What has he been doing with his money? In addition, he doesn't like some of the things that he says are untrue, like his ex-wife, Jaya Kelly, says that he hogtied her while he responded to those allegations. Why is she making that up, Robert? Sent me something on my

phone and and said that I hog tied her. I don't know how to hog tie people. What would I hog tie? My kids is listening to this all of this nonsense and I ain't been spending no time with them. This is real. This is not a lie. What kind of woman would tear down a dad who's trying to have a relationship with their kids? You know how many kids need a relationship with their father? What is your relationship with your children? Oh, my God. Zero.

What kind of grown man would pee on other people's kids? Listen, man, I listened to this hog tie clip about 572 times yesterday. What is a hog tie? How do you hog tie somebody? Just play that one part again. That part is so damn funny. I need R. Kelly to do a compilation album. Stop it.

About nothing but hog tying. Why is she making that up, Robert? Sent me something on my phone and it said that a hog tied her. I don't know how to hog tie people. What would a hog tie? What is hog tying? Can you imagine? Imagine all the songs he could remix with hog tying. I believe I can hog tie. Bumping hog tie? Can you imagine? Imagine all the songs he could remix with hog tie.

I believe I can hog tie. Bump and hog tie. Stop it. Step in the name of hog tie. Stop it. Stop it. Well, I'm sure R.J. Kelly doesn't want to hear jokes about that. When a woman is fed in hog tie.

Now, Sparkle has said that these breakdowns that R. Kelly is having are just another act. It seems like a hog tie. It's not really true. Stop it. He's just treating life like a stage half on a hog time she does feel like it's time that he learns

a very important lesson and by the way there's gonna be a one hour prime time special showing even more of this interview tonight they gotta stop

with this comedy show at 8pm listen I know that listen it's hard not to laugh at this bro I don't care this is hilarious.

All right? Nobody going to tell me how to hog tie? Like, what is hog tie? You never seen, like, when they roast a pig and they tie it up and they tie the hand and the feet kind of like, yeah. Well, you don't have to spin it, but. Let's learn together, Envy, and then we can go half on a hog tie. All right, now let's talk about Azriel Clary, who lives with R. Kelly still.

You know, Azriel Clary and Joyce Lynn Savage were there doing interviews who lives with R. Kelly still, you know, Asriel Clary and Joycelyn Savage were there doing interviews as well with R. Kelly watching from the background, from behind the door. They said he tried to stop the interview a couple of times, but he didn't end up really stopping it. But I guess things got very touchy. Well, it turns out that according to Asriel Clary, her parents were trying to blackmail R. Kelly. Here's what she's saying. When I was 17, my parents were actually making me, trying to get me to take photos with him, take sexual videos with him. And they said because if they ever have to blackmail him,

what they're trying to do now, they can use it against him, which is exactly what they're doing. Both of our parents are basically out here trying to get money and scam. That's crazy. Now, according to Azriel Clary, Both of our parents are basically out here trying to get money and scam. That's crazy. Now, according to Azriel Clary, she says that her parents actually forced her to do certain things. Here's what she said. My parents made singing like a job for me.

It's not something I wanted to do. Not only that, I even tried to kill myself because I did not want to sing. As a cry out for help to tell them this is not what I want to do with my life. This is not how I want to spend my life. Your father told me that, that you tried to take your life and that the only thing that made you happy was singing. No. And that's why he became involved. What is the point of this interview? I don't know because he's not

on trial for anything that has to do with these young ladies. He's not being charged with anything with Asriel Clary or Joycelyn Savage. It's a tape with a 14-year-old from... If anything, those women are vouching for his character

and saying he's a good guy and basically saying that everybody else's allegations are not true. Daddy saved him. Yeah, I don't understand the point of this interview, especially after you did

the Surviving R. Kelly doc. You got him charged with 10 counts. He's going to prison. Why try to humanize him in any way by doing this? Maybe they're trying to show both sides.

I don't know. I have no idea. Why do you need to see? But I do know that R. Kelly's camp now also is reaching out to Bill Cosby's publicist for some help. Yes. This is getting stupider and stupider. They're actually reaching out to Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt. Now, he said they're still in discussions about joining his legal team as a crisis manager.

But Wyatt does still represent Bill Cosby. Do you know Bill Cosby's in prison? Does he know Bill Cosby's in jail right now? Yeah, he might not know. Does he know Bill Cosby's reputation was ruined? They need help. They're trying to figure it out. What they need to figure out is how to hog tie.

Okay. Shut up. He might need that in jail. You never know when a good hog tie could come in handy in prison. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Charlemagne. Yes.

Who are you giving that donkey to? Let me look and see. Who am I giving the donkey to? Oh, yes. This is a case of religious prejudice that we need to discuss for after the hour. Why not? Always a good day for religious prejudice. Okay.

Yes. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, what up, y'all?

It's DJ Envy. The Samsung Galaxy S10 is making headlines. After 10 years of the Galaxy, this is definitely the best one yet. The Galaxy S10 is available now, and you can get up to $300 when you trade in your old phone at Samsung.com. Let's don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey stuff. 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? Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. At the breakfast club, bitches. You're a donkey. Donkey of the Day for Friday, March 8th goes to a teacher named Mona Patterson. Now, she's a teacher at Valley View Elementary in Bountiful, Utah.

Great name for any place. Bountiful. Large in quantity. Abundant. I like it, but that's about the only thing I like about this story because I just don't understand why adults love to psychologically ruin children.

Do you understand when you see a bunch of no-good kids, there's probably a bunch of no-good adults that made them that way? We can either fill these kids' cups or empty them. And Mona Patterson snatched this little kid's cup and dumped his red Kool-Aid all over the top of his head. Now, William McLeod is nine years old. He lives in Utah, and Utah is a predominantly Mormon state. Well, William and his family are not Mormon, and they have the right to not be Mormon because of this thing called freedom of religion.

Okay, it's in the Constitution. It's called the Establishment Clause. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. We all have freedom of religion, but just like most things in the Constitution, it's not honored. The Constitution is the most disrespected set of legislation in America, and it grinds my gears when I don't see simple, basic constitutional rights being honored. And William's right to freedom of religion was not honored because William, nine years old, had just returned to his school after Catholic Mass,

and since this week was Ash Wednesday, he had the cross on his forehead. Well, when he got to school, this happens. Let's go to Fox 13 Salt Lake City for the report, please. William McLeod was the only student in his class with an ash cross on his forehead. Ash Wednesday is the start of the Easter season. They celebrate getting closer to God. But the cross didn't stay on William's forehead very long. The teacher walked over and said, like, what is that?

And I was like, it's Ash Wednesday and I'm Catholic. It's Thursday morning. He was like, no, it's inappropriate. Go take it off. So she gave me a de-infection wipe, whatever they're called, and she made me wipe it off. The school's principal called William's grandmother as soon as she learned of the incident. The teacher also called. I asked her if she read the Constitution of the First Amendment, and she said no and oh. The Davis School District says what happened is not acceptable. Later in the day, William received

this candy and a handwritten message from his teacher. It said, William, I'm so sorry. I hope we can move things from here. Now the teacher could face some disciplinary action. Could? No, she should. As soon as she asked, what's that? And he said it's Catholic, it was his religion. Mind your damn business. It's hard enough as an adult to protect what's in our heads.

That's why my ass is in therapy every week right now. Literally this morning, I'm reading my daily stoic, and today's daily stoic is don't unintentionally hand over your freedom. Every day we hand over our minds to social media, to TV, to what other people are doing, thinking, saying. We got to protect our minds. We must maintain control over our minds and perceptions. Doing that as an adult, okay, is hard.

So imagine when you're nine and just trying to figure this life thing out as a child. That's why adults are here to properly guide kids. We have to be the adults that we needed as children. So if we as adults understand that we can't just unintentionally handle our mental freedom, why would you as an adult, Mona Patterson, intentionally snatch away the freedom of this young man, William McLeod? He's only nine. All right?

His family has been instilling Catholic values in him his whole life. He just came from Mass. This poor little boy, only nine years old, probably hasn't even sinned yet. So his cross on his forehead didn't represent a person's grief and mourning for his sins. It represented that he belonged to Jesus. All right? That young man was on a mental, it represented that he belonged to Jesus. All right? That young man was on a mental, spiritual high that you ruined for no other reason than your religious prejudice.

It amazes me when I see religious people hating on other religious people because whether you are Mormon or Catholic, you all have Bibles. And in that Bible, there's a chapter called Matthew 7.1, and it simply says, judge not that ye be not judged. It's not rocket science, people. All right, Mona, you need to stop worrying about what that little boy got in his head and start worrying about what's on your heart, okay? Because prejudice is wrong, all right?

And the Bible says in Colossians 3.25, anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism. You need to make this right, Mona. And apologies and candy not going to work, all right? You may need to go to mass and get a cross on your forehead to represent your grief and mourning for your sins, because if you don't, it's a great chance God may give you up for later. And send all your prayers to his fan folder.

Please give Mona Patterson the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey. Of the day. Yee-haw. All right. What if it would have been a tattoo? It couldn't have come off.

You know, we got Andrew Yang coming in next, man. He's coming up next. 2020 Democratic president. And I'm really happy that he's coming, but I'm also disappointed because today is Freaky Freaky Friday. We're not going to get freaky with Andrew Yang. Definitely not getting freaky with him. You know what a great Freaky Friday question would have been today? Have you ever been hogtied?

You know what? Thank you, Charlemagne. Thank you, Charlemagne, for that donkey of the day. Yep, when we come back, Andrew Yang will be joining us, presidential candidate, so we'll chop it up with him when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, what up, y'all? It's DJ Envy.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is making headlines. After 10 years of the Galaxy, this is definitely the best one yet. The Galaxy S10 is available now, and you can get up to $300 when you trade in your old phone at Samsung.com. The Breakfast Club. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We have a special guest in the building. Yes, 2020 presidential candidate. That's right, Andrew Yang. Welcome, sir. It's great, Andrew Yang. Welcome, sir. It's great to be here. Thank you so much for having me. Who is Andrew Yang for people who don't know? Well, where do you want me to start?

I'm an entrepreneur who spent the last six and a half years running an organization I started called Venture for America that helped create several thousand jobs in Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, St. Louis, Birmingham, and other cities around the country. And I realized that the reason why Donald Trump won the election, there are a lot of reasons. There are a bunch of them. But one of the big ones is that we automated away 4 million manufacturing jobs in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, all the swing states he needed to win. And my friends in Silicon Valley, and I've got a lot of them, know that what we did to the manufacturing workers, we're now going to do to the retail workers, the call center workers, the fast food workers, the truck drivers, and on and on through the economy. So I went to Washington

was like, hey, what are we going to do about the fact that we're in the third inning of the greatest economic and technological transformation in the history of the country. And the answers I got were really disappointing to horrifying. And I worked the Obama administration. I was a presidential or as I call it, the good White House. And so a lot of people I was talking to were Democrats. And for whatever reason, no one wanted to actually rise to this particular challenge. And so I'm running for president to help us evolve and advance to the next stage of our economy. Well, there's a lot of things that you said just now. Number one, it was the black house when you were economy. Well, there's a lot of things that you said just now.

Number one, it was the black house when you were there, okay, because Obama was running it. But you wrote a book called The War on Normal People. It's right here. Yeah, yeah, I did. You talked about automation and AI resulting in the elimination of human jobs. That's a lot of people's fear. So you see that coming. It's very scary.

Oh, it's not just coming. It's already been happening. And if you look at the numbers, we lost 4 million manufacturing jobs to automation over the last number of years. And if you go to Detroit or Cleveland or St. Louis, you see the aftermath. And I studied economics in college. And so according to economic theory, all those workers would get retrained, reskilled, find new jobs and all would be well. But then when you actually go to the communities, you see that about half of them left the workforce and never worked again. And of that group, about half filed for disability. Then you saw a massive surge in alcohol use and drug overdoses,

suicides and depression. And so there's a lot of despair, a lot of suffering, and it's going unaddressed around the country. And unfortunately, it's just going to ramp up. So one of the things I'm trying to tell people is like, look, this is no longer speculative. This is not like, oh, we should keep our eye on this. This has been ripping a hole in our communities and our society for years now, and it's about to pick up steam. So why are Trump supporters worried about Mexicans when they should be worried about the robots taking the jobs?

That's my exact point, man. It is not immigrants. Immigrants have nothing to do with the economic distress many Americans are feeling. It's the fact that technology is advancing to a point where our labor is less and less central to the economy. So build the wall around Silicon Valley. So, yeah, what do we do about that? What do we do in these? What's the solution?

So the solution I'm proposing, and anyone who's heard about my campaign knows this, I'm proposing that we declare a dividend of $1,000 a month for every American adult starting at age 18. That's the universal basic income. Yes. That's what you're proposing. The universal basic income, which I rebranded the freedom dividend because it tests better with more Americans with the word freedom in it. And so... What will that do?

Yeah, because a lot of us have never achieved true liberation in this country. Yeah, true. I mean, it's the truth. It's one reason why Martin Luther King championed this plan in principle in 1967, the year before he was assassinated. He called it the guaranteed minimum income. Thomas Paine was for it at the founding of the country. It is a very American idea. So it seems far out to us now that, hey, we should just have a dividend where everyone gets a thousand bucks a month. But we've been talking about this for decades and it came this close to being law in 1971.

It actually passed the House of Representatives twice under Richard Nixon. Milton Friedman and a thousand economists signed a study saying this would be great for America. And then one state has had a dividend for 37 years where everyone in that state gets between one and two thousand dollars a year. No questions asked. What state is that? That's Alaska. Reallyaska really yeah you go to alaska right now you live there for a year and everyone in your family gets between one and two thousand dollars a year from

the petroleum dividend it was passed 37 years ago by a republican governor and alaska is a deep red state this republican governor shows up 1982 and he's like hey there's a lot of oil money who would you rather get it? The government is just going to screw it up or you, the Alaskan people. And then the Alaskans said, us, please. And he's like, I thought you'd say that. And so they pass this dividend. And now it's wildly popular, has created thousands of jobs, has improved children's health, has

a decreased income inequality. And what I'm going around the country saying is, look, what Alaska is doing with oil money, we can do for the entire country with technology money. How is that possible? Where's the money coming from? So you said technology. Yeah. So right now, when you guys see the headlines, Amazon paid zero in taxes last year, despite record profits.

Netflix paid zero in taxes last year, despite record profits. And it's not their fault. It's just our system is really poorly designed to have the American public benefit from new innovations and advances in technology. And that's the trap we're in. Why should I vote for somebody with zero legislative experience? I feel like that's the mistake that we made this time.

Not we, because I didn't vote for him. Yeah, I was hoping not, man. What mistake did you make? Yeah, no. I didn't vote for the guy. Well, what I've been going around saying is like, look, Donald Trump is a bad president because he's a bad president. You know, it's not like all entrepreneurs are Donald Trump. And as an entrepreneur, most entrepreneurs feel like Donald Trump gives us all a bad name and he's more of a marketing charlatan than he is a real builder or someone who elevates people and build strong teams and organizations. So it's up to the American people to decide what kind of background they want.

But I would suggest that the American people have been casting about for some kind of change agent for years because we've sensed that our government is falling way behind the curve. That's how Donald Trump won. Right. He was different. So Donald Trump wins on that. But then you see Bernie Sanders achieve outsized success last time because, again, people see that we need to make big changes. And even Barack Obama's election in 2008,

when I voted for him twice, like, you can see the American people have been hungry for some sort of accelerant to help catch up and modernize our government because we know Washington, D.C. has stuck decades in the past. What is your universal basic income plan? How much do you want to give people? $1,000 a month?

Every American adult gets $1,000 a month starting at age 18. And that would be a game changer for tens of millions of American families because we know 78% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. 57% can't afford an unexpected $500 bill. And what I'm telling people is, look, we have the money. Like our economy is up to $20 trillion, up $5 trillion in the last 12 last 12 years alone we're the richest most advanced economy in the history of the world we can easily afford a thousand dollar a month you want to give me a thousand dollars a month yeah until i die until 64 right well yeah it's until you die but if you have social security then it overlaps you don't

get both all right now what about uh universal health care do you believe that along with this universal basic income we should also have universal health care? Oh, yeah. One hundred percent. I'm for a single payer Medicare for all. It makes no sense to have Americans more stressed out about paying for care than we are getting. Well, if we get sick or injured or kids get sick or injured, it's backwards. It's immoral. And I'll tell you, this is another thing where people like where, where are you going to get the money? Where are you going to get the money? We spend 18% of GDP on our healthcare, twice as much as other countries to worse results. We have plenty of money. It's just the money's not on the public bottom line yet, but it should be. So I've been the CEO of a business. I tell people very

honestly, like our healthcare system makes it harder to hire people. It makes it harder to treat people like full-time employees because you just want to turn them all into contractors and say, hey, you know. That way you're going to pay health care. Absolutely. It makes it harder to start a business. It makes it harder to change jobs. It's actually this giant impediment on our economic dynamism and growth. So I'm for universal health care.

Yeah, they said in the future most people are going to be freelancers just because companies are trying to just hire contractors so you don't have to pay for health care. Yeah, 94% of the new jobs created in this country since 2005 have been temporary gig or contract jobs that don't have health care benefits. All right, we got more with Andrew Yang when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are the Breakfast Club. We have Andrew Yang in the building. Of course, he's running for president for 2020. Let's say we decide to tax Amazon, right? Doesn't Amazon close up, go to a country someplace where they get huge tax breaks, and then we lose all those jobs again? Well, again, every other advanced economy already has a value-added tax, and Europe's value-added tax is twice what I'm proposing.

So where are they going to go? Like, we are the number one consumer market. It's not like they're going to stop selling here. The other thing is that as president, I would make all of the tax incentives provided by cities and states for companies to move 100 percent taxable. I would get rid of that stuff because it makes no sense to have cities and states fighting to give tax breaks to the Amazons of the world, where from a national point of view, we don't care what city or state they're in. And Amazon should be making choices

based upon what's best for their business, not who they can get the biggest concessions from. Now, you're saying $1,000 a month, you're saying free health care, now what about weed and what about colleges? Free college tuition? Free tuition, too? I said public health care.

I was going to ask you about marijuana. And legalizing marijuana, yeah. And legalizing marijuana. There's a lot of money to be made from that as well. So what do you think about that? And where should that money go? I'm for the legalization of marijuana, remove it from the controlled substance list, in part because our administration of the criminal laws

are deeply racist. It's very obvious to everyone. So on April 20th, 2021, I'm going to pardon everyone who's in prison for a low-level non-violent drug offense. I like your marketing strategy, 420, baby. Because it makes no sense to have people in jail for stuff that's legal in some parts of the

country. And then there'd be a lot of money, and I know there are bills that want to channel that money to African-American businesses and communities, which is a great idea. Yeah, because we were affected so much by these marijuana laws. Yeah, yeah, completely. Does Andrew Yang have a black agenda? Do you have an agenda specifically for black people? Well, a lot of it overlaps with my overall agenda,

because I think that the Freedom Dividend and universal health care would go a long way. But I'm for getting rid of private prisons. I think it makes no sense to have prisons that have a profit motivation. Why do y'all think all black people in jail? Oh, I mean, again, that affects everyone. Yeah. I'm for dramatically increasing the federal allotment HBCUs because the problem with education right now is it's become a business. And so what happens is schools end up benefiting by catering to the affluent because they'll donate more money and they can pay full freight and the rest of it. And so you have these HBCUs that have an incredible historical mission, have been shown to elevate, you know, hundreds of thousands of African-Americans. But because

they don't have these crazy endowments that some of the rich schools do, that they're struggling. And so the federal government can help shore that up. All right. But as president, you will be making $4 million a year? They make that much? No, they don't make that much. They make $400,000. $400,000 a year? I'm talking about his proposal.

Yeah, so my proposal is that presidents get a 10X raise to $4 million, but then they're not allowed to take any for-profit, for-personal gain, speaking fees or board opportunities or any of that stuff after the fact because it's human nature. After they finish running, they can't do any books? After their term is over. gain, speaking fees or board opportunities or any of that stuff after the fact, because it's human nature.

After they finish running, they can't do any books? After their term is over. Oh, they can do books, but they can't join corporate boards for money, take speaking fees for money because it's human nature. Let's say I'm president and then there's some rich CEOs hanging around in the Oval Office. And I know that three years from now they can give me $400,000 just to show up and schmooze with their clients and employees. It's human nature for me to be a little nicer to them, be a little softer on them, to be like, oh, you know, I should just make friends with this person because I'm going to end up hanging out on the jet with them after I'm president.

So you get rid of that motivation. You say, look, I can't take a dime from anyone for personal gain. You're going to pay me enough so that you know I work for the people. But that's it. We have to stop worshiping the almighty dollar. And that starts from the top. And this raise can go into effect the president after me. I really do not care.

We just have to clean up our government so it actually works for us. And it's clear that that's the case. I don't have a problem with that because I feel like presidents are public servants. And I feel like all public servants need to be getting paid more money. Teachers, police officers, veterans. But a $4.62 million deal? You're the president. That, police officers, veterans. But a four-year, $15 million deal? You're the president. That's a lot, man.

You get more of your ballplayers than your freaking entertainers. Why shouldn't the president get four mil a year? Yeah, and then say no more profit-taking after that. I think that's a fair deal. You ain't got to pay no cable bill, no house mill, no mortgage, no car, no plane. Still a tough job, sir. You know what I love about you, Andrew? I love the fact that you're up here discussing solutions and not problems.

You're not running on an anti-Trump campaign. You actually have ideas. So it pains me that you probably don't have a shot in hell of winning. So are you really? Oh, we're going to find out, brother. I'm just asking. Are you running to actually win or just to disrupt the system? We raised almost $ 600k last month um

which is more than just about every major candidate except for bernie and no one's heard of me uh so you got to ask how the heck did that happen uh i'm talking sense and like you said and like you said well i mean now thanks to you all like some more people have heard of me which i'm very happy for um but you're right trump is a symptom what the disease? The disease is the fact that we're getting pushed into economic distress. The disease is this mindset of scarcity that has overtaken our people because if you can't pay your bills, then it's very, very going to be able to outdo us in terms of capital efficiency. This is the disease. So how do you cure the actual disease? Most politicians do not want to touch this with a 10-foot pole because they don't have real solutions. And the solution I'm going to suggest is that we share the bounty from all this economic progress as fast as possible. And that's why I'm running for president. Build the wall around Silicon Valley.

That has to be a slogan. You know, shut up, man. Now, what about gun laws as far as gun laws? Yeah. So I'm a parent. I think that we need to treat gun ownership in a very similar way to the way we treat vehicle ownership. Like, look, you get a you have to take a test and get a license to drive a vehicle and that could kill people. Guns can kill people too, so we should give you some kind of test and licensing for that too. The hard part, the challenge of this is that there are 300 million farms in this country. It's like almost one for every man, woman, and child. And there are limited ways you can actually try and reduce that number.

So a couple of things I would do is I would have a voluntary gun buyback. Anyone who wants to sell their gun will buy it off you. And I would also offer to upgrade everyone's guns to those signature guns where only you can fire them. Turn everyone's gun into a James Bond gun. I like that. And then we're safer because that gun goes to someone else and they can't fire it.

And that's something that... That's going to require a lot of money though. Where are you getting this money from? It's actually not that expensive to upgrade a gun to a signature gun. Or buy a gun back? How much does that cost? Well, the gun, you know, it's the value of the gun. But, like, I would say that that's a win for the public.

And, you know, it's not like everyone's going to go and sell their gun all at once. But these are the sorts of things I'd be for. I'm for trying to provide, like, more positive alternatives that move our society in the right way without pretending, frankly, that we can just regulate the heck out of everything. Now, what about banking? Banking is difficult, especially in the African communities. It's hard to get loans. African-Americans. What did I say? African?

Yes. I'm sure it's hard there, too. But in African-American communities, it's hard to get loans. What can we do to help people get loans to start small businesses? So this is the beauty of the Freedom Dividend, man, because money follows money. If you have African-American communities where everyone's getting $12,000 a year, then all of a sudden the businesses in that community start being more lucrative and profitable.

And then if I'm a lender, I'm like, heck yes, you want a loan? Sign me up. And then they'll start investing in those communities because the market will drive them in that direction. And if that doesn't work, then we'll do more. But I think the best way we can empower African-American businesses to put money into the hands of African-Americans. I think you should think $2,000 a month. Did you just say it? That's real? No, no.

The best way to empower African-American businesses is put money in the hands of African-American consumers. That's why I think you should do $2,000 a month. Oh, my gosh, Envy. We're going to start with one, and then maybe my second term, when everyone's loving that first dividend, be like, hey, man, I got to talk to sex. You don't think black people deserve a little bit more because of slavery, because of segregation? I read Ta-Nehisi Coates, and I 100% agree with the moral case for reparations. This country was built on the backs of slaves and there's no two ways about it.

So to me, the question is, what can we get done? There's nothing that we can do as a society that would actually undo that harm or make that right. There is no redoing history. But the path forward to me, if we put this dividend in place, then at least it starts strengthening communities and then we can take real steps forward towards hopefully again, can't make things right but hopefully you can start moving things in the right direction.

Andrew Yang, I like you, sir. Thank you, man. I like you too. I like you. Alright, well thank you for joining us, man. Wish you the best of luck. And give me your website so they can donate to your campaign. Oh yeah, hey guys, so this is actually a good thing for the campaign. So my website is yang2020.com, or you can just Google Andrew Yang. But in order to make the Democratic debates, I need 65,000 individual contributors,

and I'm going to get there. Like, right now we're at, like, 46,000, and I'm going to get there in a minute. But if you want to be part of getting me on the debate stage, just go to yang2020.com and donate a buck. And let's make this case together. We've got to solve the problem. I think you're a great disruption, sir. All right. Well, Andrew Yang, thank you so much for coming through.

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 are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. 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. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.

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 I heart radio 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 Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy Angelique Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club Let's get to these rooms, let's talk to iHeart Music Awards. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip.

The rumor report. Gossip. Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Yes, so it has been announced that T-Pain will be hosting the 2019 iHeart Radio Music Awards. Now, that show is going to air from the LA Microsoft Theater that goes down next Thursday

starting at 8 p.m. Eastern. Well, T-Pain did just win the Masked Singer, so white people know him again. He just did what? He just won the Masked Singer on Fox. Oh, okay.

Yeah, so white people know him again. All right, well, should be interesting to watch. I know that might sound random. Why is T-Pain hosting iHeartRadio Music Awards? Because he just won

the Masked Singer on Fox. And he has new music as well. Alicia Keys is going to be performing and she's going to get the Innovator Award. Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, John Legend will also be making appearances. So you can still vote for that show. Oh, no you can't. It just closed

yesterday. So if you didn't vote, that's it for you. Alright, Big Boy and the NFL have made a $100,000 donation and that is for the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social All right, big boy and the NFL have made a $100,000 donation, and that is for the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta. Oh. Yes. I like that.

You like that? Dropping the blue bombs for big boy. Martin Luther King Jr. been on my mind all morning, honestly, because of R. Kelly. Oh, stop it. We'll talk about it in a second. Why? Because of R. Kelly. Because when R. Kelly talked about hog tie, and he sounded just like the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. of hog tie. I'm sure that the estate of Martin Luther King Jr. does not want

you to make that comparison. Play that clip and tell me he don't sound like Martin Luther King Jr. I don't know how to hog tie people. What would a hog tie? He does a little bit. Come on now. He sounds like the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. of hog tie. I'm going to move on and say Mike Epps.

He is going to be in How High 2, even though before he was not interested in doing that. So that'll be big for them. Previously, he expressed no interest in getting involved, but now it's confirmed he will reprise his role as Baby Powder in How High 2. Oh, I forgot about that. All right. And shout out to 21 Savage. Now, we talked about his 21 Savage bank account campaign. And the goal of that campaign is to boost financial literacy in children across the country.

He's partnered up with Get Schooled and Juma. Well, he's also going to teach a monthly online seminar with tips to help viewers invest in their future. But he's also announced that he's going to work with Juma to make sure that 150 jobs go to at-risk Atlanta youth this June. Here's what he said. Not in school, can't find a job? Sign up with Juma for a paid job that gives you experience and training. They will also help you build a career and connect you to your next opportunity to step up your game. All while making money. No experience necessary. Go to Juma.org slash apply now. All right, that's dope. That's what makes a difference. FYI, 21 has been doing stuff like that in the community,

so I don't want people to think he's doing that just because of his latest case. He really has been doing it. Remember he was on Ellen with that big-ass check? Yep. You know what I'm saying? He's been doing stuff like this. And Kanye West is suing EMI, and he's saying it's because of a servitude contract, because it's a contract that's more than seven years.

Now, according to that suit, Kanye West signed a contract with EMI back in 2003. He did get tens of millions of dollars from EMI from that, and the money was paid to him after he signed seven different modifications or extensions to that deal. Now, the problem is this. He's trying to say this is a lawsuit in California, but he did sign that contract in New York. In California, if the contract is more than seven years, then it would be servitude, but in New York, we don't have that. So, don't know.

But the label is saying they went to block his lawsuit because it should have been filed in New York if he tried to do that. Can we revisit R. Kelly? No. I don't want nobody to think I'm being disrespectful by saying that he sounded like Martin Luther King Jr. because he really did. And I think he channeled MLK Jr. on purpose.

Just listen to this cadence. This is great acting. He was warbling. I don't know how to hog tie people. What would I hog tie? I have a hog tie. Oh boy. I may not hog tie with you. Oh boy. Hog ties cannot drive out hog ties. Only hog ties can do that.

Stop it. A hog tie anywhere. Let's leave Martin Luther King Jr. out of this. A hog tie anywhere is a threat to hog ties everywhere. Hog ties at last. Hog ties at last. I'm Angela Yee. Thank God almighty.

That's your rumor report. Bye. My goodness. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. All right. Now, when we come back, of course, tomorrow is the anniversary of Biggie's death. Oh, drop on the clues bar for Biggie Smalls, man.
