I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove,

The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15 year old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And if you came with me

Did you know, did you know I wouldn't give up my seat Nine months before Rosa It was Claudette Colvin Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRad a read, but you're so good at it. You're trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne.

There's only one Charlemagne to go. Damn Charlemagne, who you give a donkey of the day to now? Well, sexy red, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, January 7th goes to Bruce Fisher. He is the husband of Senator Deb Fisher. Senator Fisher was sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris for her third term in the US Senate. And her husband refused to shake the Vice President's hand during his wife's swearing're gonna fight. Don't worry. Go. Okay. We're ready. Okay.

Do you solemnly swear to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, so help you God? Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for your work. Thank you.

Congratulations to you. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. Sure. Damn, if you couldn't really hear what happened, you know, she was telling her, telling Bruce, I don't bite. That's what the VP was saying. I don't bite before he refused to shake her hand.

Now let the record show. I am big on consistency. So it's a part of me that applauds what Bruce Fisher did. I said a part of me. Okay. Unlike a lot of you digital D-heads, I am able to see the whole totality of a situation and not just what I agree with.

See, to me, it's incredible that Democrats are playing so nice after all the talk of Trump being the end of democracy, okay? Trump being a fascist. It's like they're not keeping the same energy at all. Democrats are talking about peaceful transfers of power. Listen to the VP speak on it. The peaceful transfer of power is one of the most fundamental principles of

American democracy. As much as any other principle, it is what distinguishes our system of government from monarchy or tyranny. Today at the United States Capitol, I will perform my constitutional duty as vice president of the United States to certify the results of the 2024 election. This duty is a sacred obligation, one I will uphold, guided by love of country, loyalty to our constitution, and my unwavering faith in the American people. Look, I'm all for the peaceful transfer of power, but Democrats keep following these

political norms and traditions and it's confusing because you can't call a man a fascist and a dictator, but when he wins, throws all that rhetoric out the window. Unless, of course, it was just politics and you never believed it. I've told you all this already. Yes, I've called Trump a fascist, not because of anything Democrats said, but because of the words I've heard come out of Trump's mouth. But it's almost like Democrats don't realize how they screw themselves for the future because the midterms are right around the corner.

The only thing they can hope for is that Republicans implode and F things up so bad that the American people are just dying for a change because there's nothing Democrats can say about Republicans that we should believe after they spent weeks calling Trump a fascist and calling Republicans fascist and telling us it would be to end of democracy only to put a button on all of that. Meanwhile, Republicans like Bruce Fischer, they keeping that same energy. Okay, he didn't shake the VPs and simply because he doesn't like her. Our Democrats period, they draw clear lines in the sand. They signal to their base every time they don't like Democrats.

Democrats are terrible and not worthy of any respect nonetheless your vote. And the fact that the VP happens to be a woman and a woman of color, oh you get extra points from your base for that. Okay, see Republicans are already thinking about the future. They're thinking about the midterms. They're thinking about 2028. It is a clear us versus them mentality. And the way Republicans treat Dems

is how Dems should be treating Republicans, especially if you're telling us that they threat the democracy, especially if you're saying their leader is a fascist. Why would you wanna shake hands with those folks? And why would Republicans wanna shake hands with you? Okay? If that's how you spend your time talking about them.

I get it, but Bruce, here's the thing. It wasn't about you. Okay? It's your wife's day. If your wife has to nudge you and tell you to stand closer to the VP, basically just nudging you to show some respect, you should show that respect. Because your wife is a senator. And your wife as a senator understands democracy.

She actually posted photos of the event and pledged to continue to stand together. Bruce, you should follow your wife's lead. Listen to her, because whether you realize it or not, you stepped all over her moment. Please let Chelsea Handler give Bruce Fischer the biggest hee haw. Hee haw, hee haw.

That is way too much Dan Maynaise. All right, well let's open up the phone lines. Let's go to Breakfast Club Court, play the theme music. 800-585-1051. Now Charlamagne just broke it down. Bruce did not want to shake Kamala Harris's hand. All right let's open up the phone lines. What's your thoughts? 800-585-1051. Because at first when I thought about it I'm like how could you not shake the vice president's hand? How could you not shake Kamala Harris's hand? But then I had to take a step back for a second and say, how petty is this light skinned person,

right? If I don't f with you, I'm talking about myself. If I don't f with you, I ain't shaking your hand regardless. There's a lot of people in this world right now to this day, if they woke up with me with the Bible in their hand and I am not shaking their hand, I might not shake that person here. Because if I don't f with you, no, if that person's hand. Cause if I don't F with you. No, if I don't F with you, I don't F with you. I don't care what you got in your hand,

what you talking about now. But if I don't F with you, you did some F-ish to me, I ain't shaking your hand. Now let me ask you a question, just before we go to the phone lines, 800-585-1051. If you don't mess with somebody and they stick their hand out to shake your hand, even if they give Chris an award,

even if they say Chris is the man, are you shaking their hand or how you looking at them? Chris. Who the hell is Chris? I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. Oh. If I don't deal with you, no.

You know, it ain't gotta be like, you know, no threats or nothing like that, but I'm not gonna shake your hand. Why would I shake your hand? I don't deal with you outside of this. I'm not gonna deal with you right now. That's what I said. It's a part of me.

I'm not upset, I get it. Republicans like Bruce Fischer, they keep that same energy. Okay, if I don't like you, if I don't like the Democrats, I'm gonna draw a clear line in the sand and let people know that. I actually think Democrats should be the way Democrats have spoken about Republicans, that's how they should be treating Republicans. But no, they wanna be, you know, they wanna do the things the right way and be all about traditions and norms and that's why you lose elections Let's open up the phone lines. What are your thoughts 800-585-1051?

Let's discuss when we come back. Are you that petty or are you gonna shake the hand because it is the vice president? Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club.
