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.

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 shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.

Starting point is 00:01:38 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 The Breakfast Club. Hey, good morning, USA. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. What's up? It's the Breakfast Club. I'm Angela Yee. What's up, Charlamagne? What's up, DJ Envy? No, truthfully, both of them are not here right now.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Charlamagne says that he has to vote this morning. He's going to be voting. The polls open in the Tri-State area, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut at 6 a.m. And, oh, is this DJ Envy? What's up, E? You were here. Yeah, what's up? You were sleeping in the back.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Oh, what's up? Oh. Well, hey, good morning. Good morning. It's election day. It's Tuesday Good morning. It's election day. It's Tuesday. Yes. It is election day.
Starting point is 00:02:48 Make sure you get out there and vote. Everybody's voting, unless you have voted early, which a lot of people did. A lot of people voted early. I actually have my card at home, so I'm voting in a new place. I usually vote somewhere else, but I register closer to my house. Okay. So I can go right near my home in Brooklyn and vote. I'm voting after work today,
Starting point is 00:03:05 so as soon as we get off on my head to the polls and go vote, pick it up and then head over there and just go vote. Yes, yesterday I was at the Library Lions Gala.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Now, I am the ambassador for the New York Public Library. Do people still go to the library? Yeah. A lot? If you go to this one library, well, yeah, they do. Really?
Starting point is 00:03:22 But they want to encourage more people to go. Okay. You know, the whole thing about the library is it's not just taking out books. There's a lot of other services that they have for people. Like if you have English as a second language, they have classes there. They have all types of things that you can do to help you with job placement. There's a lot.
Starting point is 00:03:37 You can register to vote at the library. So there's a lot of things that go down at the library. So it's not just for taking out books. But, yeah, so they had this huge gala last night where they honored the library lions. One of the people honored was Francis Ford Coppola. Okay. And he was there, so he was signing books, and the
Starting point is 00:03:54 authors that were there was five people. They all were signing their books. I was sitting next to Marcus Samuelson. If you know who he is, he owns different restaurants. He's a chef. He owns the Red Rooster in Harlem. Oh, okay. He owns a restaurant called Marcus that we actually ate at in Bermuda where we were staying at the resort, the Princess Hamilton. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:11 So him and his wife were sitting on it. He said he listens to the show every single morning. Well, good morning to you, sir. You know what? I haven't been to the library in a long time. You should go. The last time I've been there was my kids doing homework there a couple of years ago. Did you go to the library growing up?
Starting point is 00:04:25 All the time. I. Did you go to the library growing up? All the time. I mean, you had to. I mean, if you had to do a homework or if you had to do a project, you had to go to the library to go get an encyclopedia. You know, so we couldn't afford encyclopedias. They were always too expensive. So we went to the library and we used them
Starting point is 00:04:38 and, you know, borrowed them and then returned them. I still think I might owe my library some money for them. Well, you should go pay them. Not returning books. I think after a while, I think it just can't And imagine if you don't have Wi-Fi at home or you don't have a computer at home, you can go to the library and use their resources. So, it's just a great thing. Actually, when I went to go
Starting point is 00:04:56 visit the New York Public Library, I got to go see the first edition of Shakespeare of Jane Eyre. They have those original books in there and they give you a whole tour and all of that. It was amazing. Okay. But you know I'm in there.
Starting point is 00:05:07 I love reading and I love books. I don't have no time. All right. Well, on this morning, Michelle Williams and Chad Johnson will be joining us.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Michelle Williams, of course, Destiny Child member and her husband, Chad Johnson. Are they married yet or we don't know? They are engaged.
Starting point is 00:05:22 They're engaged. Yes, and they have a show called Chad Loves Michelle. Okay. On their own network. So we'll talk to them in a little bit. And it's all about voting, so get your ass up, even if you gotta get up a little early. Get out there and vote. Alright. Now, let's get this show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking
Starting point is 00:05:36 about? Well, let's talk about how many people have voted so far. A surge of younger voters. We'll give you some numbers. Also, we'll discuss what Oprah has had to say. There's these racist robocalls that sound like it's Oprah, and she's responded to them. Okay. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 00:05:50 This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Now, Charlamagne, he stopped by the polls this morning, so he is voting. But let's get into the front page news.
Starting point is 00:06:06 In Monday Night Football, the Titans beat the Cowboys 28 to 14. Now, what else are we talking about, Yee? Well, more than 30 million Americans have voted in the midterms already. So they're saying at least 31 million people have voted early nationwide. So during this point, during the 2014 midterms, about 19 million people voted early, so that's way more than what happened in 2014. Right. But they did say,
Starting point is 00:06:31 while this is great, the country has been moving toward a more robust use of early voting for years, and it's also not clear if the early vote in key states is showing up to support Trump and Republicans or Democrats. Do you know, when you vote, do you really know who you're voting for? Do you do Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, Republican, Republican, Republican?
Starting point is 00:06:48 I don't think I know everybody. But I do know some people. I try to look it up before I go. So I research what's happening in my area. But I don't think I've, I'm trying to think, have I ever voted for a Republican? It would take a lot. I'm going to vote for one today. Who? It's actually my in-town. His name is Jim Frieda.
Starting point is 00:07:03 He's actually Republican running. And he's really trying to help the kids in the community. He's trying to give them better equipment for sports, a better field. He's trying to do a lot more to help the youth. So that's your interest. So that's my interest in that area. That's the only time I will ever vote probably Republican. I can't say ever, but I just know he's doing a lot for the kids and the students in my town where I live. So I think he'll be a good person to vote for.
Starting point is 00:07:27 All right. And both Facebook and Twitter have been deleting accounts. Now, Twitter deleted over 10,000 accounts that were urging users not to vote. They were actually pretending to be from the Democratic Party after and they were discouraging people telling them not to vote. I saw some of those. And I was like, OK, y'all must think I'm stupid. Now, in addition to that, Oprah has had to respond to racist robocalls. There were these robocalls that were being made in her name. The person was pretending to be her and pretending to go against Stacey Abrams.
Starting point is 00:07:58 If you haven't heard it, and I know this is difficult to listen to because it's disgusting, but we do have some of that for you. This is the magical Negro, Oprah Winfrey, asking you to make my fellow Negro, Stacey Abrams, the governor of Georgia, where others see a poor man's Aunt Jemima. I see someone white women can be tricked into voting for, especially the fat ones. And so I promise that every single person who votes for Stacey Abrams, we're going to get a new car. So you get a car, and you get a car, and you get
Starting point is 00:08:30 a car, and you get a car. Everybody gets a car. That's not funny. How disgusting. That's not funny at all. Is that? Like, not even that it's funny, but who even has the time or the thought to even do something like this? Well, Oprah has responded to these racist robocalls. Here's what she said.
Starting point is 00:08:45 I heard people were making racist robocalls in my name against Stacey Abrams, who I am 100% for. I just want to say, Jesus don't like ugly. Mm-mm. And we know what to do about that. Vote. That's right. Get out there and vote. Georgia, Stacey Abrams needs you. Make sure you get out there and vote. Georgia Stacey Abrams needs you. Make sure you get out
Starting point is 00:09:06 there and vote. Florida. Andrew Gillum needs you. Make sure you get out there and vote, vote, vote, vote, vote, vote. If you got to check on what their policies are, Google it this morning but get on out there and vote. I just want to say that sounded nothing like Oprah. Not at all. That was terrible. On top of everything else.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Can you just, John Musk, can you just run that back? That did not sound, just a little bit, that did not sound like Oprah. This is the magical Negro. Come on! That was an awful impersonation. The magical Negro, my goodness. Alright, well, that is your front page

Starting point is 00:10:41 Last year, April 2017, I was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin's lymphoma. I went through 15 months of chemo and radiation, and they told me there was a very slim chance that I would be able to have kids. Now I'm three months pregnant, and so far it seems like a very healthy baby. My goodness.

I know that we're World Series champs and stuff like that, you know? You know, I'm just trying to see how it's a way for me to get some money
Starting point is 00:11:41 because I'm on SSI right now, and I understand it costs like $42, Thanksgiving's coming up. I don't know how to get the money to go to, you know what I mean, the Apollo or the Cardi B show. Which one would you go to first? If you're struggling with money,
Starting point is 00:11:56 I wouldn't go to neither. I would save my money and make sure I can pay rent for next month, bro. I pay rent. I pay $300 for rent. What about the following month? If you have to make that determination, if you're going to figure out if you're going to go to Apollo
Starting point is 00:12:08 or see Cardi B, I would just keep saving some money, bro. No, no, no. I already got the Apollo tickets. Okay. So what's the problem? You need more tickets? No, I need a ride to get there. You can't take the train? I need some more clothes. I need everything. So I don't know where
Starting point is 00:12:22 to go to. Well, if you bought tickets without having clothes or without having to ride, I don't know if that was a smart decision, bro. I'm not going to sell. But no, I can get the money. I can get the money, but I just can't sell either, you know? So you think I should be an Avon representative? Yeah, you should do that. He sounds like a great salesperson already.
Starting point is 00:12:40 I definitely wouldn't buy no Avon from you, bro. Maybe some skin so soft because it keeps the mosquitoes away. Yeah, I understand. Well, thank you. Have a nice day. I can't. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Rodney, man.

But why are white people so mad at us? Like, we did something to them, man. Who's mad at you? I say just, like, white people. All the stuff that's been going on lately in the media,
Starting point is 00:13:11 all the controversy, all the hate crimes, all the hangings, lynchings, and everything, like, we was asked to be here. Why they hate us so much, man? You know what? And it's just that I feel like things have been going on for so long, but now we have camera phones, so we're exposing a lot more of what's going on. It's going viral. I just, but now we have camera phones, so we're exposing a lot more of what's going on. It's going viral.

I am sick and tired of military members not being able to find employment in America. I just got the Air Force. They make it so difficult for us. I have not found one federal government job in my realm of what I do that is even open to give me an interview.
Starting point is 00:16:50 It's not just me. It's mad military members. It's hard for a lot of us to, when we get out of the military, to find jobs that correlate to what we do. But for me, it should be mad simple. I do HR. That's all I do is HR. So it's like they make it so difficult for us and then they pass us up on other people that they already know
Starting point is 00:17:08 or people that they already want to bring into their agency. It's mad tiring. It is, man. It's annoying, too. Well, thank you for the sacrifices that you made. Because I couldn't imagine sacrificing for your country and not being guaranteed some type of employment when it's all said and done. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:17:24 And, you know, shout out to all the military. You know, I flip houses. And one of the houses that I flipped a couple of weeks ago, there was a guy from the military living on the back porch. He just, you know, posted up a tent there, which is he had nowhere to live. And when we bought the house and I seen him there, he told me he was from the military. And I told him that, you know, if he wanted to work and help us renovate the house, we would pay him to do it. He was so grateful
Starting point is 00:17:48 and so happy. Shout to us, Cesar. We actually gave him a job because we understand that he wanted work. It wasn't like he was just trying to bum around and do nothing. No, he wanted the work. He couldn't find a job. He's now going to be working for us. We gave him some money to help renovate and demo one of our cribs.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Shout to all the military and everybody that sacrifices for us, man. That's what's to help renovate and demo one of our cribs.

Well, Rihanna has had to send a cease and desist to Donald Trump, and that's because she was using one of her songs. He was using one of her songs, he was using one of her songs during his rallies. If you remember, he was also using Pharrell's Happy during a rally.
Starting point is 00:21:10 I remember. And Pharrell sent that cease and desist. Well, now Rihanna has sent a cease and desist as well. She has not provided her consent to Mr. Trump to use her music. Such use is therefore improper. Trump's unauthorized use of Ms. Fenty's music creates a false impression that Ms. Fenty is affiliated with,
Starting point is 00:21:26 connected to, or otherwise associated with Trump. He was playing Don't Stop the Music during his rallies, and that's how she found out because a reporter from the Washington Post, Philip Rucker, actually tweeted about it. And she responded to that tweet like, thanks for letting me know. I'm going to make sure that's not happening anymore.

I just tell you how I'm trying to get senior citizen Queens where I'm from to get people to the polls. If you're doing the same thing, no matter where you're from, if you're in Georgia doing the same thing,
Starting point is 00:25:31 if you're in Chicago, if you're in Florida, if you're in Jersey, whatever it is, hit us up and tag us on Instagram so we can shout you out because we're trying to get people to the polls.

All right, let's get into front page news. Now, Monday Night Football! The Titans demolished the Cowboys 28-14.
Starting point is 00:26:01 Looks like the Cowboys season is officially over like my Giants. Now, what else are we talking about, Ye? So just for you guys to know, if you want to use Uber to actually get to the polls, Uber is partnering with hashtag VoteTogether and Democracy Works to make sure that transportation is not an issue or a barrier to get to the polls. You can
Starting point is 00:26:19 use the promo code GetAround the number two, GetAround2Vote and you get $10 off if you're using Uber. And according to Lyft, they're saying that about 15 million people were registered but did not vote because of transportation issues back in 2016. So they're also offering 50% off or up to $5 off rides across the country and free rides to underserved communities that face significant obstacles to transportation. So you have to enter your zip code on Lyft's partner, BuzzFeed's website. Okay. Do that.
Starting point is 00:26:50 All right. All right. Now let's talk about getting on the plane and sitting in poo. Imagine that happened to you. No, I can't. Well, that happened to Matthew Meehan. He was on a flight from Atlanta to Miami on Delta. I hate that this is Delta.
Starting point is 00:27:01 I fly Delta all the time. And he said he was sitting there and he's like, what is that smell? He said, I looked around and he thought, not another flight that smells bad. He said he wasn't the only one who noticed. He said, I realized the person next to me also had their nose covered. Then when I went to take my charger out, bent down completely
Starting point is 00:27:18 to charge my phone, I realized it's not just a smell. It's actually feces and it's all over the back of my legs. It's all over the floor, all over the wall of the plane. It's all over the floor. All over the wall of the plane. No, Delta. And I sat in it. Oh my goodness. So they went to the front of the plane to notify the flight crew and the crew said,
Starting point is 00:27:33 are you kidding me? We turned that in. I can't believe they didn't clean it. That's when they gave him two paper towels and a bottle of gin to clean himself with in the bathroom. What? And he was saying he didn't know where the diarrhea came from. He didn't know if it was a person. Originally, they said it was a person who had gotten sick.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Then they said it was a German Shepherd. Then they said it was a Golden Retriever puppy. Oh, my goodness. But he said it doesn't matter. It's feces. It carries disease any way you look at it. Don't they clean the planes? Delta usually cleans the planes before they switch.
Starting point is 00:28:00 They're supposed to. They said Delta broke protocol in continuing the boarding process once the biohazard was identified and reported. So they should not have even taken off after that. They did keep on boarding the plane and they told him he could either get in his seat or get off the plane. What did he do?
Starting point is 00:28:16 Got off the plane. Oh, I would think so. I would have dragged that pool all up and down the aisles. That plane would have definitely had to stop. I would have passed out. I would have fainted. I would have think about, I'm going to be suing somebody. I would have got sick. All of the above. That plane would have definitely had to stop. I would have passed out. I would have fainted. I would have think about I'm going to be suing somebody.
Starting point is 00:28:26 I would have got sick. All of the above that would happen to me. Yeah, so everybody actually ended up being on that flight having to sit there with feces all over the place.
Starting point is 00:28:34 No Delta. Yeah, and you know, after that he said he might take legal action. He should. He got to get sick first, but then he definitely should. He actually stayed on the plane,
Starting point is 00:28:43 landed in Miami, and he was supposed to fly to Tampa, but he said he just took He actually stayed on the plane, landed in Miami, and he was supposed to fly to Tampa, but he said he just took an Uber instead for four hours because he just didn't want to get back on the plane after that experience. I don't know. The flight was oversold. They said they couldn't move his seat.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Would you have stayed on? No. No. What if you were headed to a gig that was paying you really well? You're already in the pool. Now, wait. It depends how much they're paying. Now, it depends how much they're paying.
Starting point is 00:29:04 Now, they're paying a lot of money. I might have to sit in the pool for Now, wait. It depends how much they paying. Now, it depends how much they paying. Now, if they paying a lot of money, I might have to sit in the pool for a little bit. If that's the last flight, I'll think about it. Or let's say Logan has a game. It's a championship game
Starting point is 00:29:12 and you gotta get home. I would've sat in the pool. I definitely would've sat in the pool. There was nothing you could do. I would've wiped, I would've cleaned it. Oh my gosh,
Starting point is 00:29:19 I would've sat in that pool. You dirty boy. You wouldn't sit in the pool? No. Oh, I would've sat in the pool for my son now. Now, what if it was a first class seat and they said you could either stay in first sat in that pool. You dirty boy. You wouldn't sit in the pool? No. Oh, I would have sat in the pool for my son now. Now, what if it was a first class seat and they said you could either stay in first class in the pool or go back into a middle seat and coach? I don't care.
Starting point is 00:29:31 I would have sat in the middle seat and coach. Oh, okay. I know you're a little bougie. No. Whatever I got to do to get home, I'm going to get home. All right. Well, that's front page news. Now, when we come back.
Starting point is 00:29:41 That's front pool news. Stupid. From Destiny's Child, Michelle Williams and her fiancé, Chad Johnson, will be joining us. So we'll kick it with them next. Right. And also continue the adventure with Newt Scamander as he teams up with Albus Dumbledore to stop

Starting point is 00:30:29 Chad Johnson, welcome, sir. Good morning. Y'all don't have a cute nickname yet? Like Chachelle? Chadchelle or something like that? People been trying it. Yeah, give it a shot. Chadelle.
Starting point is 00:30:37 We'll go with what you got. Chad Neetro. Chad Neetro. Chad Neetra. Chad Neetra. Oh, I like that. That's the one. Chad Neetra. Chad Neetra. Yes, I like Chad Neitra Oh I like that Chad Neitra
Starting point is 00:30:45 Yes I like Chad Neitra We do know that y'all were like the first to uncover My first name right Chad Neitra? It was Googleable? Thanks you so much I don't even know how y'all found that out Years ago
Starting point is 00:31:00 So Michelle how did you meet Chad? So I met Chad It was recommended that I go to one of his retreats. So, he has a ministry called Elevate based out of Phoenix. Every year, he has a young adult camp called Remix. They were like, you got to go. So, I was in a place where I was like, you know what? I just need a word.
Starting point is 00:31:19 I need Jesus, praise and worship music. So, we go. What were you going through that you needed that? Life. Life. I mean, it's not a dance. It's good. But enough to go on a retreat. That's a lot to say I'm going on a retreat
Starting point is 00:31:34 by myself. Yes, and I've heard so much about this retreat from other peers in gospel music and I was like, okay. So I went and forgot my makeup and everything. So I went bare faced. I didn't have a curling iron, just a ponytail.
Starting point is 00:31:51 And I was like, listen, this is what it is. I didn't come for anything else but healing. Okay. So his best friend's wife, Lizette, was like, yo, first day I get there, I think you and Chad would be so cute together. I said, I didn't come to flirt with the pastor. I'm not his conference concubine.
Starting point is 00:32:11 This is not what I'm in a type of party, boo-boo. But he was very nice, very hospitable, and we literally left it at that. It was one of the most powerful, life-changing conferences I've ever been to in my life. Chad, what were you thinking when you first saw Michelle? Did you have to sneak off and say a little prayer like, God, please, I know the flesh is weak. Right, right, right. The spirit's willing. I mean,
Starting point is 00:32:33 obviously, she's beautiful. Her reputation precedes her, and what she didn't tell you was the first night she was there after we met, she made me a salad. A chicken salad. And so I said, your mama taught you well, because the way to a man's heart is through what?
Starting point is 00:32:50 His stomach. What made you make him a salad? So when I grew up in church, I was raised in church. I was raised to serve. So after it was like midnight or something, he comes in after he has everything settled from church that night. He walks in and everybody's like, great service, Pastor Chad.
Starting point is 00:33:07 And I was like, he goes into the refrigerator and nobody did anything. Nobody got up to like fix him anything. He preached and everything. I was like, no one's going to like, because where I come from, you serve. Is you hungry? Is you hungry? So I got up. It was some salad stuff.
Starting point is 00:33:22 And I shook that thing up real good. Got that ranch dressing distributed evenly throughout the lettuce and served him. And that was literally it. And about a month later, two months later, maybe he reached out to me because he remembered that I had to sing somewhere. I had to do six services in one day. He said, hey, I remembered you had to do. I know you're going to kill it. He prayed for me. And then I was like, this is a sign. It showed me that he remembered. He was thoughtful. And I was like, I think I want to pursue this. But I never told him because I know a lot of women come up to him and say, you know, the Lord told me you my husband, and I never want to be that chick. but I knew there was something special about him.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Being single in ministry for 22 years, man. That's some good G to end your life, man. That was awesome. That told me. What if a woman said she was praying for your penis, Chad? Just seriously. It's all jokes aside. How do you tell her that, no, that's not how this works?
Starting point is 00:34:20 I'd say just stay right here at the altar in the prayer line. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So how do you flirt with the pastor, Michelle? How do you shoot your shot with the pastor? How do you let the pastor know it can go down? Well, it ain't going to go down until we're married. Right. But I'm not just talking about sexually nasty.
Starting point is 00:34:36 I'm just talking about in general. But I'm just telling you. Let me tell you. Listen. They're waiting until they get married. Listen now. The struggle is all the way real. He is awesome.
Starting point is 00:34:49 He's fine. He works out. He's everything that was on my list, except for the dark skin part. And the nice hair. And the nice hair. But he has everything else. You want a little dark skin, baby? Why?
Starting point is 00:35:00 So I had this list. I was like, he got tall, dark skin. What's wrong with a light skin, baby? Because y'all be in the mirror. Y'all think y light skin, brother? Because y'all be in the mirror. Y'all think y'all, you know. Chad, you be in the mirror. Hold on. Chad, you light skin?
Starting point is 00:35:11 Obviously. I thought you was Caucasian. I'm sorry. I didn't listen. He is. Oh, okay. He has ancestry DNA and not a drop. Got you.
Starting point is 00:35:19 It's all European. So did you have a problem with having a white guy? No, I didn't. He's got so much swag. Listen, listen, listen. A lot of R&B music he's put me up on. So for me, it wasn't about, oh my gosh, he's white. It wasn't until we went public that everybody made it a problem.
Starting point is 00:35:46 What did your family say? Because you said you grew up in a church, and usually, you know, black families, black families in church, they like, you're going to come back with a black man, or you're going to come back with a black woman. What was their reaction? First of all, they were just so excited that somebody is going to marry me. First of all.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Oh, my lady. Yeah, baby. I mean, I'll never forget. Like, it could be a mailman that's dropping off a package, and my dad would be like, hmm. I'm like, no, dad, he's just dropping off a package. They just want to put me off with anybody, with anybody. And everybody was just so excited that, you know, he's a great man. They know his level of commitment and who he is,
Starting point is 00:36:28 and my mother don't like nobody that I've ever dated, but she loves Chad. Chad, how did your family feel about you being married, bringing a sister home? I don't know. They weren't shocked, you know. I'm not the first. You like black women
Starting point is 00:36:45 I mean I like women You know my family We've been raised In such a unique way My mom serves On the Native American Reservations
Starting point is 00:36:54 So our whole life Has been Completely multicultural Alright we got more When we come back From Destiny's Child Michelle Williams And her fiance
Starting point is 00:37:01 Chad Johnson So don't move It's The Breakfast Club Good morning Good morning everybody It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. From Destiny's Child, we have Michelle Williams
Starting point is 00:37:12 and her fiancé, Chad Johnson. Charlamagne? When did y'all decide not to have sex before marriage? Is it all faith-based? So, when we started dating, Chad said, sex is not an option. And I was like, okay. Alright, cool cool because I'm not going to go into marriage a virgin because I don't want anybody to think that I've been perfect
Starting point is 00:37:31 but I felt this was so good because I don't feel pressured to have sex to keep a man and when you say sex you mean everything not everything to keep a man I don't have to do that I don't have to feel the pressure of that. And I've got different results. We've been, we were dating less than a year, and he put a ring on it with no booty. It's real. We have, our love's real.
Starting point is 00:37:56 I can't even hug him. Our attraction's real. You know what? All right, Michelle. That wedding night's going to be great. I wonder if you know that my f***ing heart right now. I'm amazing. And that's a** is hard right now. I'm amazed. And that's too close, Teneetra.
Starting point is 00:38:08 I had a scripture for you. Give me my phone. Scripture's ready. Miss, I'm going to ask you something. You guys did have your ups and downs in the relationship, and there was a time when it didn't seem like you guys would get married. Right? So is that going to play out on the show?
Starting point is 00:38:24 Are we seeing what happens? It to play out on the show? Are we seeing what happens? It will play out in the show. And so the reason why we're even doing this show, it's not something that we have to do. We started pre-engagement counseling even before we got engaged. It's pre-engagement to just kind of figure out, okay, he's like,
Starting point is 00:38:40 am I really going to spend these racks on this girl in this ring? Am I going to spend the church's money on you? It's not the church's coin. Not the church's coin. But when we started sharing with our friends about counseling, we realized how so many people do not do marriage counseling. And we were like, okay, let's film ours in real time
Starting point is 00:39:07 with our real therapist. And that's what we chose to do. She has, she recommends eight sessions before she even recommends marriage to her couples. And we're doing eight episodes. So throughout the eight sessions are finances, communication, intimacy, family. Each week we'll talk about, you know, those different parts of our therapy. So we're like, listen, we'll be the guinea pig. We'll sit on the sofa and let everybody at home get their therapy through us. That's dope. Yeah, man.
Starting point is 00:39:39 That's hella dope. What did you guys go through that made it a period of time when it wasn't working? Oh, my gosh. You know, yeah. So all this year, I found myself slipping and slipping and slipping back into depression. But I didn't tell anybody. Why? Just some unresolved.
Starting point is 00:39:57 He put it together so amazing. Some soul wounds that just have had me so jacked up mentally, like figuring out like, how come I didn't speak up for myself? How come I stayed in certain relationships? How come as a child, I witnessed and saw some things, verbal abuse, the bullying, the this, how come that is affecting me in my adulthood? And it's so real that whatever you're not healed from in your childhood manifests itself somehow in your adulthood. For me, I wanted to marry Chad. I wanted us to be engaged. And then when we got engaged, I started feeling unworthy.
Starting point is 00:40:35 I mean, just feeling all the pressure. And then who he is, especially in his world, he is so esteemed and so respected. But I come from Destiny's Child. Booty-shaking music. Secular music. About to marry a pastor. Do I fit in his world? Because a lot of people were like, Oh gosh, Chad, you're
Starting point is 00:40:55 marrying darkness. But you did gospel music too, isn't it? I know, but they haven't done their history. They haven't done their history. Just a lot of the pressures, just a lot of the unhealed stuff. So for me, the last bit was a lot of the anger. So I didn't tell anybody.
Starting point is 00:41:13 I didn't even tell him. He didn't know until I said, I have to go to the hospital, is when he was like, oh. I didn't tell anybody. I didn't tell family. I didn't tell friends because I didn't want anybody to be like, oh, gosh, here we go again. And I felt like a hypocrite because being an ambassador for the Office of Women's Health, being so open since 2013 about depression, I felt like a hypocrite. Like, I got to just deal with this on my own.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Was it suicidal thoughts that made you want to go to the hospital or was it like, I have to go. The anger and the darkness that was just, I was having out of body feeling, not like myself feeling literally like something was taking over me. I did. I was not suicidal this time, but I had questions. Well, if this don't work out, why should I live? But I didn't have any plans. And so I hit my therapist up to let her know. And so we were finding various facilities
Starting point is 00:42:17 to go to. And I found one that I was like, okay, I think this is the one for me. And when I went in, I didn't even think of who I was. I just went. It was affecting our relationship. Y'all broke up twice, right? I'm assuming you broke up with him because you felt like it's me, not you, Chad. I did. I did. How long were you there for? So I was there for like six days.
Starting point is 00:42:41 I wanted to stay longer, but when a famed media source found out, I got very, very scared. So my manager called me and said, I just want you to know that we got a phone call. No, no, I'm sorry. He got an email. And the email said, we got our hands on some sensitive information about Michelle Williams. We hear she's in a facility outside of Los Angeles, California. We want to be respectful and report it with, basically like we want facts before we report it.
Starting point is 00:43:14 But we just want to make sure this is true. But you have a chance to say something. And so I was like, yo, you ain't finna tell my story. You ain't even tell what I'm going through. And so I gave my manager my passwords and everything because I'm in the hospital. I ain't even tell what I'm going through. And so I gave my manager my passwords and everything because I'm in the hospital. I can't tweet and Instagram. And
Starting point is 00:43:29 he had to post it for me. I don't know who told it. It could have been the person serving me them powdered eggs. Because I had to eat with everybody. And I loved it. I don't think people realize too that like how much we reinforce the stigma of mental health
Starting point is 00:43:46 because we're so inconsiderate of people's mental health issues. Yeah, and I've learned, I try not to call people crazy anymore. It's just certain things I've been learning. But in the hospital, the whole place, when you go to lunch, it would look like this. A mess? No, no.
Starting point is 00:44:02 You know, everybody's at lunch. No, it would look like this. A mess? No, it would look like this. I can't look at you and tell you what your issue is because you're not what we see on TV as crazy or the person that needs to be in the mental health facility. I just hate that people found out, and I think that's what keeps people from getting the help and the treatment that they
Starting point is 00:44:25 need. So you didn't tell anybody that you were going just Chad and Chad. I wasn't even telling my mom, but I was like, man, if she I just I just so I called certain people that were close to me and then other close people. They when they found out me, I was going to ask about that. What you know, did your friends call because it was all over the press. I'm sure old members of your group and friends and family called. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Everybody was reaching out. Charlamagne Z was one of them. That's a fact.
Starting point is 00:44:53 All right, we got more with Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child and Chad Johnson, her fiance. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne, the guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:45:04 We're speaking with Michelle Williams from Destiny's Child and her fiancé, Chad Johnson. Charlamagne? Michelle, you still haven't told us how you shot your shot at the pastor. She slid in my DMs, man. She slid in my DMs. That's what you did? I believe that.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Okay, I'm going to let him be great. Now, everybody in this room, on a count of three, when you respond to somebody's IG story, where does the message go? One, two, three. DM. Thank you. I did not press message to slide in your DM.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Oh, he's sending yours first. Don't do me. But technically you were in his DM. And technically I was technically in his DM. Technically speaking, it wasn't a comment. It was a DM. He reached out to me to thank me for coming to the retreat. And that's really all the text was.
Starting point is 00:45:51 Then the first other text, you said, I dissed you. I don't recall it being a diss. How'd you diss you, Chad? Because I was trying to reach out and I said, hey, you know, like trying to curve it from business talk, ministry talk. That's the best out that I ever had in my life. You know what I mean? Like, how do you kind of curve this to like, hey, you talk, ministry talk. That's the best salad I ever had in my life. You know what I mean? Like, how do you kind of curve this to like, hey, you know, what about. What did you say, pastor?
Starting point is 00:46:10 What about me and you connecting sometime? You said that? Something like that. Something corny like that. No, no, no, no. Without God. Just me and you. Just me and you.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Just me and you. So stupid. You bring him to the table. I'll bring him to the table if you want to. However, me and you. to however me and you what about connecting sometimes so i get you see the little bubbles pop up on the phone right i mean she's responding before i can set the phone down and she says in all caps connect with six question marks wow and i'm like oh so was a good one. So here's how I heard it.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Here's how I heard it. Connect. Like with you? Connect. What do you mean connect? With you? I was like, you gotta curve it back. I was like,
Starting point is 00:46:53 you know, mentally, and just to have a conversation with God, that's what I would've went with because I would've been scared. Michelle, that did sound like you curved them. You definitely,
Starting point is 00:47:00 you see what I'm saying? You're the first woman to say that. You are the first woman. You wrote connect in all caps with question marks. Because I was like, so for me it was clarity. Connect. Regardless how you heard it, I wanted clarity.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Connect what? Connect for. What? Right. Right. Exactly, man. You never connect. Well, you should have came back and said, my bad.
Starting point is 00:47:21 I meant connect over a phone call or if I'll come to LA, we'll do lunch, dinner. What did you say back? Nothing. Here's why. Because my best friend, my boy, he was talking me into it. And I said, man, you know where I'm at. Like, I haven't dated in six months. I'm done with this whole situation.
Starting point is 00:47:38 So I was like, if I get dissed, like if I get rejected right now, I'm going to punch you in the mouth. Because I can't handle it. That's not Godly. That's not Godly. You know what I'm saying? Right, right, exactly. I can't handle it that's not Godly that's not Godly we'll get to know each other a little more man so I was like so I just chucked the phone at him
Starting point is 00:47:54 you know hit him in the chest he's like man it can't be that bad right so he picks it up I was like read it bro connect so he reads it and he's like oh damn like it's bad it is that bad like she did diss you
Starting point is 00:48:08 but you should have did because you weren't sure but you should have hit her back and said oh I'm sorry if I was out of bounds he didn't say none of that he didn't say anything he didn't talk to me for weeks I was like dude you should have just hit me back like oh I meant
Starting point is 00:48:24 connect like you know have just hit me back like, oh, I meant connect, like, you know. So, just fast forward, Cliff Notes version. So, we started FaceTiming every night, every day. Praying for you. Yep. And you got to FaceTime at the right angle. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:48:38 He was looking so yummy FaceTiming. I was throwing my arm up in my head like this. Oh, he was so cute. And so then for a few months later, we actually saw each other in person and went out on our first date. But he had a chaperone with him. A chaperone? Yeah. Come on.
Starting point is 00:48:57 You brought your mom with you? No, he had one of his little interns. I had an intern. I was doing work for the Dodgers. You're really trying to mess this up. So I was in L.A. doing some work with the Dodgers, right? Oh, gosh. And she was in L.A., and so I finally said, you know, I'm extending my business trip.
Starting point is 00:49:11 That's connected. But you brought your intern with you? He was hanging. That's hella bougie, Chad. That's weird. You know what I'm saying? So it was cool. It was cool.
Starting point is 00:49:20 And then we started kind of like really dating, and then he told me in June of that year he was like he's done looking I was like oh you use medication Michelle I do okay um I just started with this last step because I was trying to do it holistically like I'm just gonna work out I'm gonna do this and so I just wasn't disciplined in that area. And I did start on medication. It's been working, but I was like, man, I'm scared of medication because you take one thing and then you got to take one thing for this symptom. See, that's how black people think. Like, I'll take this, then I'm going to be on coke, then I'm going to be on crack,
Starting point is 00:50:00 then I'm going to be on heroin. What are you talking about? No. It's not from real prescribed medication. You get stuck on opioids and stuff. No, I didn't mean that. I meant like, will this medication cause another
Starting point is 00:50:14 ailment? Then I got to take another medication for that ailment that this could possibly cause. What if y'all get married and the sex is wet? Don't you do it, Charlamagne. I'm sorry. God know my heart. Don't you do it, Charlamagne. I'm sorry. God, no more. Don't you do it. No, I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 00:50:27 I like this conversation. I don't think it's... Let's keep talking about sex. Didn't we talk about it? Not to be vulgar because, you know... You have seen him naked, though. I've seen some nice pictures and him in the gym. You haven't seen him naked in person? He's awesome. He's awesome. gym. You haven't seen him naked in person?
Starting point is 00:50:46 He's awesome. Okay. You haven't seen his whole garage though. I think you're asking too many questions about what he looks like. Stop it, guys. You haven't seen Moses' ass? No, we have not taken a shower with each other. Hilarious.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Did you see Moses' staff? What? Did you see Moses' staff? Charlamagne. Why are you so concerned about what Chad looks like naked? Did you see the snake that was in the garden? What did Moses do with his staff, brother? I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:51:06 He worked miracles. There you go. Okay, okay. We're going to have to eat low. Let me tell you something. That was the one that did it for you? That line make you want to go up and do it right now? I want to eat loaves.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Like, let's go. I really, really love him holding me, snuggling with me. And this week, she's been pretty frisky. Even in New York, I'm like, wait a minute. I'm like, wait a minute. He's the one saying we're not going to do this. It's not Michelle, so. No, we're going to make it.
Starting point is 00:51:44 We have something to uphold. And listen, this is to anybody who wants to do their relationship. Do something different to get what you never had. So that's my thing. We appreciate you guys for joining us. Thank y'all for coming. Thank y'all for coming. Thank you for having us.

Starting point is 00:52:31 You just go before them, continue to make the way straight. Give them favor as they trust in you. Surround them, Lord God, with a shield. And I just pray, Father, that you would bless them beyond their wildest dreams. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. All right, well, shout out to Michelle Williams for Destiny's Child from joining us,
Starting point is 00:52:46 and Chad Johns and her fiance. You can check their new show out on their own network. Now, we got rumors on the way, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Rumor, rumor.
Starting point is 00:52:59 On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, Rebel Wilson was on Ellen DeGeneres, and she had this to say about being a plus-sized woman starring in a romantic comedy. And also, I'm kind of proud to be the first ever plus-sized girl to be the star of the romantic comedy. Rebel Wilson would be a shoo-in for Donkey today
Starting point is 00:53:19 if we didn't have more pressing things to talk about. Right, well, things got a little shaky after that because people called her out on it because it's just simply not true. Now, Monique tweeted her and said, Hey, my sweet sister, let's please not allow this business to erase our talent with giving gray areas and technicalities. Take
Starting point is 00:53:36 a moment and know the rest. Don't be a part of erasing it. I wish you the best. I ain't gonna lie, Monique. Monique talks very nice to white people, don't she? Yes, Leonard. As opposed to their own people, I'm just saying. She was called your letter. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:49 She spoke nicely to you. She told Oprah SMD. Remember that. Rebel Wilson responded, Hi, Monique. It was never my intention to erase anyone else's achievements, and I adore you and Queen Latifah so, so much, and I support all plus-size ladies and everything positive we are doing together.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Well, people pointed out, of course, that Queen Latifah and Monique both starred in romantic comedies and rom-coms and had the lead roles in those. And she responded by saying that technically she said, of course, I know of these movies.
Starting point is 00:54:18 And when she spoke of these movies, she was talking about Just Right, The Last Holiday, which Queen Latifah starred in and Fat Girls which Monique starred in. And she responded, hey girl, yeah of course I know of these movies but it was questionable as to whether one, technically those
Starting point is 00:54:34 actresses were plus size when filming those movies or two, technically those films are categorized built as a studio rom-com with a sole lead. So there's a slight gray area. Now I don't know about the studio rom-com sole lead thing, but Queen Latifah and Monique were definitely plus sizes. They were.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Like, stop it. Right, so a lot of people were on Twitter then just going at her, and she started blocking everybody, so that's when this hashtag started with the whole Rebel Wilson block party. Oh, Rebel is culturally clueless, like most people who think mayonnaise is a seasoning are. Right, so since then, she has responded because people were saying that she was blocking
Starting point is 00:55:11 all of black Twitter for weighing in, even though people were just trying to educate her. And she said, in a couple of well-intentioned moments, hoping to lift my fellow plus-sized women up, I neglected to show the proper respect to those who climbed this mountain before me, like Monique, Queen Latifah, Melissa
Starting point is 00:55:26 McCarthy, Ricky Lake, and likely many others. With the help of some very compassionate and well thought out responses from others on social media, I now realized what I said was not only wrong but also incredibly hurtful. To be part of a problem I was hoping I was helping make that much more embarrassing and hard to acknowledge.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Well just to play white devil's advocate for a second, right? I saw everybody saying that she was only blocking people from black Twitter and nobody else. She was blocking everyone. I'm sure she was blocking everybody. Anybody that was rude. But even if she was just blocking people from black Twitter, black Twitter, have y'all met y'allself? Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:56 All right. Y'all a little bit more aggressive. Oh, you've been attacked by them before? Y'all a little bit more aggressive. So you know where they're coming from? Y'all a little bit more aggressive than everybody else. I think we all have been attacked by black Twitter. Once or twice.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Now she said, I blacked people on Twitter because I was hurting from the criticism, but those are the people I actually need to hear from more, not less. Again, I'm deeply sorry.
Starting point is 00:56:14 Did she unblock everybody? I'm sure she didn't. All right. Well, Isn't It Romantic comes out February 14th, just so you know. Horrible time. Well, now it's all
Starting point is 00:56:22 blow over by then. Yeah. All right. Now, Remy Ma She was on State of the Culture And she had some things To say about the way
Starting point is 00:56:28 That Cardi B and Nicki Minaj Ended their beef If you guys remember They went back and forth And then at the end of it They were like Okay let's move on And make some great music
Starting point is 00:56:36 And you know Keep on with our careers Well here's what she had to say About the end of their beef I'm different Like I'm not gonna keep Arguing with somebody It's different to you.
Starting point is 00:56:45 I don't want to hear this. I don't want to hear anything. And I think the part that made it the corniest after everything for like a whole 15 hours and then they're both like, okay, let's be friends now. That's why I was praying you had. Nothing brings me joy like seeing old
Starting point is 00:57:01 Remy Ma come out a new Remy Ma. I think everybody said that, though. I think somebody had to call him and squash that beef. There's no way you can go at my neck all day long and then the 11th hour, like, ah, we all good now. But we don't know what happened behind the scenes. But Remy to OG compared to both of them. Remy want to see some blood, all right? Remy wants to fight.
Starting point is 00:57:19 I mean, when you go too far, absolutely. I get it. Like, you just can't say, okay, we friends now. I'm sure somebody stepped in between and just said, ladies, chill out. Good. I'd rather that than violence can't say, okay, we friends now. I'm sure somebody stepped in between and just said, ladies, chill out. Well, that's good.
Starting point is 00:57:27 I'd rather that than violence, but drop one of Clues' bombs for Remy Ma. I just love seeing... She like, when be me. I just love when old Remy Ma
Starting point is 00:57:33 pops out a new Remy Ma and they kind of have a tussle with each other. I will say, though, it does take a lot for you to go through all of those things. They said some really
Starting point is 00:57:43 hurtful things to each other. And it does take a bigger person to actually squash it instead of keeping it going, you know? By the way, you don't know how they really feel. Yeah, I don't know how they really feel. Yeah, that could have just been something for the public. Like, yo, we good, we good, we good. Somebody was probably like, look, we got to vote on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:57:59 We got to have this united front right now. This is not the time. Are they like, Cardi, you just turned yourself in, you know what I'm saying? Because they said you was under investigation for fighting or whatever. So be cool, okay?
Starting point is 00:58:09 All right, cool. I'm cool until I see you. All right. But I'd rather them not. And we don't know that they're friends. No, they know. They're not no friends now.
Starting point is 00:58:17 You gotta stop that with friends. All right, now, also got to talk about Fantastic Beasts, The Crimes of Grindelwald. Continue the adventure with New Scamander as he teams up with Albus Dumbledore
Starting point is 00:58:28 to stop the dark wizard Grindelwald's plans to divide the wizarding world Fantastic Beasts you got to take the kids Envy The Crimes of Grindelwald that's in theaters
Starting point is 00:58:36 November 16th it's rated PG-13 I bet you can't pronounce these names I definitely can't pronounce those names it's funny hearing you pronounce those names
Starting point is 00:58:43 Grindelwald Grindelwald no that's wrong alright anyway well that is your rumor report Charlemagne yes I definitely can't pronounce those names. It's funny hearing you pronounce those names. Grindelwald. Grindelwald. No, that's wrong. All right, anyway. Well, that is your rumor report. Charlemagne. Yes.
Starting point is 00:58:50 We giving that donkey to you. Well, you know it's election day, man. So I think that we need to have a little conversation about voting. So I just think, like, everybody who plans not to vote needs to come to the front of the congregation. I'd like to have a word with them, see if I can change their mind a little bit. All right. All right. All right. All right, we'll do that when we come back. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 00:59:07 This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumb ass. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumb ass. You are a donkey.
Starting point is 00:59:19 It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They waiting for Charlamagne to tap them gloves. Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day. They chose you.
Starting point is 00:59:33 The Breakfast Club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Well, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, October 30th may or may not go to Hillary Clinton. Now, yesterday, while everyone was caught up in Nikki Carty-Gate, Hillary Clinton made some comments that people are either not aware of, don't care about, or finally for whatever reason when it comes to this particular situation, this era all of a sudden understands context. Okay, I think context is key for everything but in this social media era everything seems to be out of context. Life is out of context. Even when things are in context, people take things out of context to create the narrative they want to create.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Now, I like Hillary Clinton. In fact, I really think we dropped the ball in 2016 by not getting her into the White House. That's an understatement because I really feel black people as a whole would have benefited from her being president because I think she really wanted to right the wrongs of her husband's 94 crime bill. When you looked at Hillary's circle in 2016, we all saw it. Yee saw it. Envy saw it. It was all black women, majority black women. And I think she would be the type of president that everyone could hold accountable, not
Starting point is 01:00:37 just a president for a particular base, but a president for all people. That's just my opinion. OK, black people, for the most part, love the Clintons. And for the most part, the Clintons seem to love black people. That's just my opinion. Okay? Black people, for the most part, love the Clintons. And for the most part, the Clintons seem to love black people. They are good white allies, right? Am I mistaken in saying that? In some ways, probably. Okay. The white friends at the cookout, right?
Starting point is 01:00:56 I guess. The problem sometimes with your white friend is that they might get a little too comfortable. You know, you be around your white friend and they're singing a rap song and if the N-word be, you know, around your white friend and they singing a rap song. And if the N word is in the lyric, they may let it fly and you got to check them. Okay. That's usually how it is when you got a cool white friend, great person, not a racist, but sometimes they get too comfortable and they end up doing the same things that have
Starting point is 01:01:17 said around another black person who is not their friend. It could, and would absolutely offend. Okay. Same way you have to check on your strong friend, you may also have to check your white friend. Now, the evidence I'm about to play y'all will be brought up in Breakfast Club Court because that is where we are taking this situation because I need to know if Hillary Clinton deserves donkey of the day for this joke that she made. And I put air quotation marks around joke. Now, Hillary was being interviewed by Kara Swisher for Recode, and Kara Swisher got two U.S. congressmen confused. These two congressmen were Cory Booker and Eric Holder. Listen to how Hillary responded. What do you think of Cory Booker's, and you didn't comment on him, and you feel free to- Oh, I adore him.
Starting point is 01:01:57 What do you think about him saying, kick them in the shins, essentially, start to get to that kind of political- Well, that was Eric Holder. Yeah, Eric Holder. Oh, Eric Holder, I'm sorry. Yeah, I know they all look alike. No, they don't. Whoa. Oh, well done.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Whoa. Okay, now it's time. Let's play that clip one more time for the people in the back. Wow. You may not have heard it because they're still looking at Cardi B videos on Instagram. Play it again. What do you think of Cory Booker's and you didn't comment on him and you feel free to Oh, I adore him.
Starting point is 01:02:21 What do you think about him saying kick them in the shins, essentially, start to get to that kind of political. Well, that was Eric Holder. Eric Holder. Oh, Eric Holder. I'm sorry. Yeah, I adore him. What do you think about him saying, kick them in the shins, essentially? Start to get to that kind of political... Well, that was Eric Holder. Oh, Eric Holder. I'm sorry. Yeah, I know they all look alike. No, they don't. Oh, well done. Now, donkey of the day does not discriminate. We all have our biases.
Starting point is 01:02:38 I attempt to be as self-aware as possible in order to check mine. We all know that if anyone on the right had made that same joke, nobody would care about the context. There would be no excuses. Okay. And there would be no excuses made if Ivanka Trump, Sarah Huckabee Sanders,
Starting point is 01:02:55 Megan Kelly, or anyone else on the right had made that exact same joke in the exact same context, you all would have been on the ass posting video after video the way Cardi did Nicki yesterday. Now, do I think Hillary Clinton is racist? No. Do I think that remark was racist? No. Do I think it's a matter of a white ally getting too comfortable? Hell yes. Because when I see her up there kiki-ing with Kara Switzer, I know she has made jokes like that before and she makes them around other white people. The timing was impeccable when was hillary clinton ever known for her comedic timing when did she ever shown comedic timing see that was a glimpse into the real her just like when she was on the breakfast club she
Starting point is 01:03:33 gave a glimpse into the real her now i don't have a problem with honesty remember when she was on the breakfast club and she was very honest when i bought up the fact uh when ye bought up the fact about her keeping hot sauce in her bag and you know you know, I said to her, this is one of those times they will say she's pandering to black people. Remember that? Let me refresh your memory. What's something that you always carry with you? Hot sauce. Really?
Starting point is 01:03:54 Yeah. Hot sauce. Really? Yes. Now, listen, I want you to know people are going to see this and say, okay, she's pandering to black people. Okay. Is it working? Is it working working see hillary's not dumb she's aware of what she's doing so just like megan kelly last week uh who was aware i'm sure uh hillary is a white woman of
Starting point is 01:04:16 a certain age she had to know even in sarcasm and in jest that joke about all black people looking alike wouldn't fly now i'm just being an equal opportunity hee-haw distributor. I don't care about left, right, up, down, select, start, A or B. All I care about is giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid. Dr. Phil was here just yesterday, and what did he say? The last thing I say before I walk on stage, I close my eyes and say, do not walk out there and say something stupid. Do not walk out there and say something stupid. Do not walk out there and say something stupid.
Starting point is 01:04:46 I feel like Hillary said something stupid. Now, some people feel like she didn't. The people who feel like she didn't, I think it's Democratic bias. Or we're turning a blind eye because it's Hillary Clinton. Because based on the firestorm, I know it would have been if someone on the right had said this. Play it again one more time. Just one more time. Play the clip.
Starting point is 01:05:04 What do you think of Cory Booker's and you didn't comment on him and you're feel free to. Oh, I adore him. What do you think about him saying kick them in the shins, essentially? Start to get to that kind of political. Well, that was Eric Holder.
Starting point is 01:05:13 Yeah, Eric Holder. Oh, Eric Holder. I'm sorry. Yeah, I know they all look alike. No, they don't. Oh, well done. I think she should get a hee-haw simply because you can't let your white friends
Starting point is 01:05:23 get that comfortable. But let's discuss. Hit the Breakfast Club quote music, damn it. All right. 800-585-1051. We're talking Hillary Clinton this morning. All right. We need you to call in right now.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Now, are we turning a blind eye? Democratic bias. Is this Democratic bias? Is this what we're doing this morning? And when you say we, who do you mean? Because I see a lot of people going in on her. A lot of Republicans. A lot of people saying that she's a racist now. She's despicable.
Starting point is 01:05:48 If Megyn Kelly would have said that simply because she said she didn't understand blackface. Yeah, but that's the Republicans calling out the bias of the Democrats because Democrats seem to be turning a blind eye to those comments. All right. And when I played it in the room this morning, people were saying, oh, she's just being sarcastic. Oh, she was just being sarcastic. You didn't. Your reaction was different. But a lot of people were like, she's just being sarcastic.
Starting point is 01:06:12 But I'm just saying, if that had came from the other side, it would be World War III out here right now. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Is it Democratic bias? Call us right now. Or does she deserve the biggest hee-haw?
Starting point is 01:06:24 Because I got Kathy Griffin, Remy Ma, and the Hamilton's all on deck. Okay, let's get to it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Words are weapons in battle rap, the world's most brutal lyrical sport. From legendary music video director Joseph Kahn and producer Eminem, the new movie Bodied is the story of an accidental rap battle superstar
Starting point is 01:06:44 shocking everyone he knows as he rises through. Morning everybody, it's DJ MV Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Opening up the phone lines, 800-585-1051. Are you not voting today? Now Charlamagne, he voted this morning before
Starting point is 01:06:58 he got here. Yeah, my polling place opened at 6am in New Jersey and being that I gotta fly out, I'm flying out tonight to go to Miami for this MTV election after party. I had to go there at 6 a.m. to vote because I didn't do no early voting. Guys, yeah, I'll be going after the show. I'm going to pick up my wife and then we're going to go vote. And you know, in the last midterm election in 2014, just over 36% of the voting eligible population actually voted.
Starting point is 01:07:22 That's terrible. My thing with voting is simply this. What? A lot of people like to complain, and they like to talk about problems, but they never present any solutions. If you don't have any other bright ideas, if you don't have any other ideas on how to make things better, why would you discourage people from voting?
Starting point is 01:07:36 Well, let me ask you a question. You didn't vote until Barack Obama was running. Yes. What took you so long to vote? Because I was young. I voted for the first time in 2008. I was a kid. Like, I never thought about it. You was 30 years old. That ain't no kid to vote? Because I was young. I voted for the first time in 2008. I was a kid. I never thought about it. You was 30 years old.
Starting point is 01:07:48 I ain't no kid. I didn't go to college. I didn't have any... You weren't really a kid, though. I didn't have any means for government whatsoever. I grew up on a dirt road in Monaco, North Carolina. I wasn't thinking about no goddamn government. Plus, I had that Jay-Z line in my head. Government, F-government. We politic ourselves. Whatever the hell that means. Well, there's some kids out there that probably think it's just like you.
Starting point is 01:08:03 I ain't voting yet. I'm young. I'm 30. No, no. These kids are much more politically inclined than I was. And by the way, a lot of these kids in the hood don't give a damn either. You know what I mean? Some of the common reasons that people don't feel like they have to vote, they'll say I'm too busy. I don't have time. They'll say things like I don't like any of the candidates running.
Starting point is 01:08:20 They feel like their vote doesn't matter. Those are the reasons why people don't vote. And that's another thing too. Barack Obama was the first person that I felt like spoke to me in my interest, not just because he was black. I just liked a lot of the things that he was saying. He energized me in a way. So that's why we're not even voting for him. Well, I voted for Clinton.
Starting point is 01:08:34 I've been voting since I was able to vote. My parents made me vote. Hello, who's this? It's Mike. And I grew up doing The Witness, but that's a whole other story. Mike, so you don't vote, Mike? No, I haven't voted, and I don't think I ever will, honestly. Why?
Starting point is 01:08:46 Well, first of all, the politicians, they don't care. The only thing they want is for their pockets to get bigger. They run around here acting like they're going to do so much for the community. They never have, and they never do. Well, that's why democracy is so important, because we've got to hold these people accountable. I think a lot of times we get so excited about voting, but once we put these people in office, we fall back. We have to keep our foot on their neck to make sure they do what they said they was going to do before they got in the office.
Starting point is 01:09:09 Yes, have you ever tried to get any policies passed or done anything locally to try to make things happen? I mean, no, not personally. Mike, are you black or white, bro? I'm white. That's another thing that I feel like bothers me. A lot of people only vote because the one's white and the one's black. They can't look at their values, what they can offer.
Starting point is 01:09:27 They vote all colors. I didn't vote for no black person this morning. But that's because there was none on the ballot. There was none on the ballot. But you can't say that people aren't doing anything for you and they're just politicians when you're not demanding that they do anything for you. And you got to know their policies and know what they stand for. Hello, what's your name? My name's Sammy. You're not voting, man? anything for you. And you got to know their policies and know what they stand for. Hello, what's your name?
Starting point is 01:09:45 My name's Sammy. You're not voting, man? No, sir. Why not? I haven't voted since 2008 when Obama first was elected. I only voted for that because I was 18 years old. My pops told me to go out and vote. So why didn't you vote after that, his second term?
Starting point is 01:09:59 After that, I started doing research for myself. That little clip that y'all played from Malcolm X, I started listening to that. I started listening to Mark Garvey and other cats and all that. And I realized that when you vote for presidents and governors and all that stuff, they really don't care about your local. You got to care about the local, my brother. You got to care about your local policies and everything. I'm glad you said that.
Starting point is 01:10:17 See, I'm from Pontiac, Michigan. I don't know if y'all ever been here, but it's a democratic city. Nothing has changed in ECU. I haven't voted for Democrats for years. I run a mentor program. I get out here and I actually mentor. I'm actually out here. I'm hanging doors at women's shelters that have been abused.
Starting point is 01:10:32 I'm actually out here doing work. And which we love and appreciate. And we appreciate that. Have you ever gone to speak to any local politicians or inviting them out or ask for things? I go to city council meetings. I go to city council meetings. I go to town hall meetings. I actually try to urge our people, especially our young people, to get out here and go to these city council meetings and hold these people accountable.
Starting point is 01:10:51 That's right. When people say our ancestors died for our rights to vote, they died for us to control our local government. That's right. I agree with you. And that's what I care about. I don't care about no presidents because they don't give a damn about us. But, you know what I'm saying,
Starting point is 01:11:04 that's the only thing that I really care about is local. So until we control our local, then we can attack our state. Once we control our state, then we can go far beyond that. We got to start locally, though, bro. You can't say you're not voting locally. You're saying you want change, but you don't even want to vote locally. No, he said he voted locally. Oh, he voted locally.
Starting point is 01:11:20 Yeah, he said he attended. Listen, I love your approach. Like, I love everything that you're doing. Going to the city council meetings. You have every right to complain, sir. All right? Okay? Well, thank you for calling, brother.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Hey, Moe's up. Y'all have a great day. All right. 800-585-1051. Are you not voting? Why? Call us now. We want to know why.
Starting point is 01:11:38 We want to talk to you. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us. Today, we want you to go out there and vote. Vote, vote, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us today, we want you to go out there and vote. Vote, vote, vote, vote, vote.
Starting point is 01:11:50 Why not, man? But if you're not voting, we want to talk to you. I feel like, you know, a lot of people, you know, you want to see actual change, but the actual change doesn't happen unless we make it happen. And we make it happen by voting the people we want in. And then we got to keep our foot on the next, the way America keeps its foot on our next. We got to hold all of these people that we voting in accountable. CJ.
Starting point is 01:12:10 Hey, what's up, y'all? How you doing, man? Just Envy, but you ain't voting this morning? Good morning. Oh, yeah. Good morning, y'all. What's up, bro? You not voting?
Starting point is 01:12:17 Nah, man. I ain't voting, man. Why you not voting, CJ? I'm not voting, man, because our votes don't count as black men or black people in particular. Our votes do not count. So you think they just go nowhere? No, it's not. It's not going nowhere.
Starting point is 01:12:29 The government has control over everything, my brothers and sisters. They have control over everything. So being as back in, let's say, like 2010, around that time, or 2008 with the votes, back down in Florida, what's going on out there. It's numbers, like 179,000. Bro, your years are so off. You talking about when Jeb Bush and Al, I mean George Bush and Al Gore was running against each other, sir? I believe so.
Starting point is 01:12:56 Yeah, that was 2004, sir, in Florida. All right, so regardless of what, our votes don't count. According to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission, concluded that 1,700 and... Man, if you don't stop pulling these numbers out your ass. So you didn't vote for Obama. You don't think that it mattered when we all went out there and voted? No, it didn't matter. They wanted to play whoever they wanted to play in the office.
Starting point is 01:13:16 If you watch the TV show, right? Grow Away Empire, right? Listen, listen, listen. Grow Away Empire, right? It was the episode where back in, you know, at that time, they voted on the mayor. Yo, yo, okay, all right. Yo, chill, chill. We need to chill.
Starting point is 01:13:32 All right, all right. But listen, let me ask you a question. You don't want us to vote, so what should the solution be to make change? It's not going to be any change, bro. Oh, no doubt. So just be here. Have a blessed day, sir. And don't do anything.
Starting point is 01:13:41 My man. And that's what I be trying to say about all of these people. A lot of these people who tell you not to vote, when you ask them, so what do we do to make change? They have no solutions. Well, we have somebody on the line. What's your name, mama? My name is Shakita. What's up, Nuby?
Starting point is 01:13:54 What's up, Charlamagne? What up? What's up, Shakita? What up, mama? You're going to catch hell at the polling place now. No, she ain't voting. Oh, okay. I can see why.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Well, then she's not. Go ask me your first name. Shakita? How you spell that? Come on, Charlamagne. I'm an African-American queen, okay. I can see why. Well, then she's not. Go ask me your first name. Shakita? How you spell that? Come on, Charlamagne. I'm an African-American queen out here. I know you are. Yes, you are, queen.
Starting point is 01:14:10 So at the end of the day, you just came from my city. I'm representing Miami. Hey, I'm coming back to Miami today, 305. Hey, but I'm living up here in... You said what? I was with Georgia, though. You should live in Georgia, dog. I'm on this weekend, yeah. I'm going to tell you something, though. You should have been in Georgia, dog. Oh.
Starting point is 01:14:28 I'm going to tell you something, man. I'm disappointed in you not voting because I don't know if you know, Stacey Abrams and Andrew Gillum said that if they become governor, they're going to pardon JT. You know what I'm saying? That is a promise. That is a promise. I'm going to be honest with you. Because I keep it 100, just like you.
Starting point is 01:14:43 At the end of the day, we was brought up of lies. This is the land of lies. It's the land of the free, but it's also a land of lies. So before I go and vote and tell a lie to myself, I got to keep it real with myself. That's day one. How are you going to say this is the land of the free when JT ain't free? I know he ain't free. I said it's the land of lies.
Starting point is 01:15:03 It's supposed to be the land of the free, but it's a land of lies. So Shaquita, what's your name? Shaquita. Don't mess my name up. Call me Kiki. You done been to my house. Just call me Kiki. Kiki. I feel like I met you last week, Kiki.
Starting point is 01:15:17 Nah, you didn't ask me. Oh, let me ask you a question, Kiki. So what should we do then? What should we do if we're not going to vote? What's the solution? Well, my solution is to do more research, to get myself more knowledge on the polls and what's going on. I want to be more aware of what's going on
Starting point is 01:15:34 before I just start hitting numbers and hitting buttons. So you do want to vote. You just need to educate yourself. All right. Well, Kiki, I just want you to know we had a whole year to do this, Kiki. And you can do that today. I know, Charlamagne. Go ahead and roast me. Won't you trust me?
Starting point is 01:15:51 I listen to you every morning, so I'm used to it. Where are you registered to vote? Florida or Georgia? Georgia. Trust me and go vote for Stacey Adams. Go do your homework. Polls close, I think, what time in Georgia? 8? I think it's 8 o'clock. I think 8 p.m. You got it till tonight, so do your homework now. You got me on this? Polls closed, I think. What time in Georgia? Eight? I think it's 8 o'clock. I think 8 p.m.
Starting point is 01:16:05 You got it until tonight. So do your homework now. You got a phone. You can Google. If you rock with me, Kiki. Kiki, do you love me? No. Are you riding?
Starting point is 01:16:12 I'm tired of that song. I'm tired of it. I know she is. Kiki, trust me. You made me like the whole summer I had to listen to that. Don't do me like that, Charlamagne. Kiki, trust me. And next time I come to Atlanta, I'll bring you a pack of Newports.
Starting point is 01:16:24 Pack of Newports on me. We're going to get in Atlanta, and I don't smoke Newports. Well, you smoked it. Iiki, trust me. Next time I come to Atlanta, I'll bring you a pack of Newports. Pack of Newports. And I don't smoke Newports. I'm in the home health aid field. I take care of elderly people for a living. Don't do me, Charlamagne. He's just stereotyping you and everything. Don't vote for Charlamagne. I ain't voting. I ain't running.
Starting point is 01:16:38 You're not voting. Go do me a favor and vote for Stacey, man. I vote for Stacey, just for Charlamagne. What's her last name, Kiki? Stacey Abr man. I vote for Stacey, just for Charlamagne. What's her last name, Kiki? Stacey Abrams. I don't know. By the time I get home. Oh, Kiki, come on, baby. Kiki, you ain't do no research at all. You better not send Kiki to the polls.
Starting point is 01:16:53 In the poll number. Tell her the color. Kiki, Stacey Abrams. All right, blue. Blue. Blue. Vote blue then. There you go.
Starting point is 01:17:00 Oh, my goodness. There you go. You know what? You might not want to send Kiki, bro. Yes, Kiki. Go vote blue. We need all the Kik. Yes, Kiki. Go vote blue. We need all the Kikis out there to get out and vote blue. At the end of the day, I take life serious, but I like to joke around because I want to
Starting point is 01:17:12 throw a lot. So I'm no different from you. Feel me? All right. I just take life. Kiki, I love you. We love you, Kiki. You my sister, all right?
Starting point is 01:17:19 What's Stacey's last name, Kiki? Vote blue. No, man. Her last name is Stacey. Listen, it's Stacey Abrams. No, I heard you. What up with you? She's just joking.
Starting point is 01:17:30 Kiki ain't dumb. Vote blue, Kiki. Blue. Blue. Please, Kiki. Go vote, Kiki. Get it, Kiki. All right.
Starting point is 01:17:37 All right. There's no yellow. You call me back tomorrow. Hit me up on social media. Let me know you voted, okay? All right. I want to see your sticker. One time for Miami and the building.

Starting point is 01:17:54 I'm voting blue. There you go. All right, Kiki. All right. All right. Oh, my goodness. All right. What's the moral of the story?
Starting point is 01:18:03 Just vote. Please. Go vote. Go vote. You know what I'm saying? There's nothing wrong with voting, but I do agree that it doesn't matter whether it's the Democrats or Republicans. Whoever we put into these positions, we got to hold them accountable. We got to keep our foot on their necks and make sure that they do what they said that they were going to do before they got into these offices. All right.
Starting point is 01:18:22 We got rumors on the way. Well, find out who is the sexiest man alive. That's easy. He's not in this room. All right. We'll tell you all about it. All right. It's The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 01:18:58 named the sexiest man alive, but you already said, let's talk about Idris Elba. So congratulations to Idris Elba. He is the sexiest man alive, according to People Magazine. What do you guys think about that pic? I feel like that's been going on for a long time. I thought they told me People Magazine called me and told me it was me. They definitely didn't
Starting point is 01:19:14 call you because magazines can't make phone calls. But, um, if you're saying the editor-in-chief. But yeah, so congratulations to Idris Elba, 46 years old, um, and a great actor and a lot of longevity. I remember first time seeing him was on The Wire. And since then, so much growth and progression.
Starting point is 01:19:31 So congratulations to him. I mean, white people got to find some other black people find, right? It was Denzel for a long time. Then it's been Idris for a long time. I guess Michael B. Jordan will be the next 20 years. You sound hateful right now. He'll come after me. Michael B. Jordan will go after me. Bro, you're way past your prime. Chill out Michael B. Jordan will be the next 20 years. You sound hateful right now. He'll come after me. Michael B. Jordan will go after me.
Starting point is 01:19:45 Bro, you way past your prime. Chill out, B. My wife tells me I'm fine every night. Well, she should. She ain't got no choice. Yeah, that's her job. What are you talking about? Her job is to make you feel good.
Starting point is 01:19:56 So you can get out there and go out in the world. For being a great wife, okay? Keeping her husband's confidence up. She also tells you you're smart. All right.

Starting point is 01:20:24 Okay. All right. Drake has posted a heartfelt open letter. One of his fans actually passed away. He met his fan through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I love the Make-A-Wish Foundation. And that person passed away due to an undisclosed illness. So Drake posted a photo of himself at the bedside of that person, K,
Starting point is 01:20:42 and said, gonna miss you a whole lot. We met through Make-A-Wish and we built a genuine bond. You would text me and check on me while I was on tour and tell me positive things and share your dreams and goals. I'm crying in this pic, but it was tears of joy because we just prayed for you with your father. I'm sorry I missed your text on my birthday. That's eating my soul right now,
Starting point is 01:21:00 but you know how much I loved you and was looking forward to seeing you after tour. I don't know why I'm writing this on Instagram. I just need to get it out because it's sitting heavy on my heart. We'll remember you forever, K at the K Diaries. Rest in peace to at the K Diaries. Absolutely. Yeah. Alright, now let's
Starting point is 01:21:16 talk about Mac Miller. They've released the results of how Mac Miller passed away and they're saying that he died from fentanyl cocaine and he was also found in a praying position kneeling forward with his face resting on his knees. They said he was already blue during that 911 call. So it was actually his assistant who found him and made that 911 call. So again, rest in peace to Mac Miller.
Starting point is 01:21:39 It's hard, I know, because these results come in so much long after everything has happened. So it's us discussing it yet again. But that is the results. Charlamagne, in the meantime, is going to be sitting down for a live therapy session. And that's going to be happening with Dr. Jess on VH1. You want to give us some more info? Well, first of all, drop on the clues box with Dr. Jessica Clemons. She's been up here.
Starting point is 01:22:01 Yes. Dr. Jessica Clemons is out here doing God's work. I think that she's a superstar and I just think that I like to see people glow up based off things that actually mean something. She's a public servant. She's really out here doing great work in the mental health space. I'm doing a
Starting point is 01:22:18 live therapy session with her next Monday on VH1 at 10 p.m. It's a real live therapy. It's not like live to tape or pre-taped. Like, it's actual live in the moment just like we're live on the radio right now.
Starting point is 01:22:33 You gotta watch your mouth. No, I don't. It's VH1. Listen, I might cry. It's therapy. No, I'm talking about cursing and stuff like that. I curse in therapy.
Starting point is 01:22:40 Okay. Absolutely curse in therapy. So if I curse, I curse. Like, it's nothing sexy. It ain't no whole bunch of cameras all throughout the room or nothing like that. It's just me, Jess, and the people. That's it. Are there going to be people watching in the audience?
Starting point is 01:22:55 No, it's not a live audience. It's just you two in a therapy session. In the therapist's office, yeah. If you cry, who's going to hold you? If I cry, I cry. Effie, don't talk about that right now. You're sounding mad crazy, okay? But next Monday at 10 p.m. on VH1,
Starting point is 01:23:09 it's called In Session Live with Dr. Jess. All right, well, we'll keep our eye out for that and remind y'all to watch that. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Charlamagne, I mean, the revolt we'll see tomorrow. Charlamagne, who's going to hold you tomorrow? You cannot get me off your mind this morning.
Starting point is 01:23:26 You know what I'm saying? Who's gonna hold you? Be careful, because Tracy Chapman might sue you if you keep on singing her song. You better be careful with somebody jumping your jeans. That's the problem. Alright, anyway. Mix is up next. Let me know what you want to hear.
