Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
We need help!
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast
Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into
their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never
heard her before. Listen to
On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts
or wherever you love to hate. From the East to the West Coast. DJ Envy.
Angela Yee.
Charlamagne Tha God.
The realest show on the planet.
This is why I respect this show, because this is a voice to society.
Changing the game.
You guys are the coveted morning show, but y'all earning it.
Impacting the culture.
They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that Breakfast Club.
The world's most dangerous morning show.
We in the mother...
We in the... Good morning, USA.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,
yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,
yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,
Good morning, Angelie.
I don't know.
Good morning.
Oh, there she go.
Okay.
Charlamagne, what up?
Peace to the planet.
It's Thursday.
Yes, it's Thursday.
What's happening?
We are here.
We still don't have a president, right?
No, we still don't have a president.
We on the verge, though.
But we have one right now.
We don't have one for January.
Yeah, we don't have one for January.
What's going on with Nevada?
Nevada just can't get it right?
What do you mean?
They still counting the votes.
They still counting the votes in Nevada?
Everybody else count the votes?
Nevada can't count the votes?
I think y'all forget that this was a record-setting year when it came to mail-in ballots and,
what, it was 100-plus million early voters.
And if it's anything like I saw in Atlanta yesterday, they in there counting them things
by hand, which seems very primitive, by the way.
Yes.
But, yes, it takes a long time to count all those votes.
Goodness gracious.
Yeah, and some states had different laws where they couldn't even start counting the votes until Election Day.
So while they might have had millions of votes, they couldn't even start counting them right away.
All I know is, once again, black people are saving
the Democrats' ass
yet again, okay?
Black voters in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia,
and Atlanta. I saw
Ben Rhodes. Ben Rhodes is a
Biden advisor and former Obama
appointee. He tweeted out last night,
looking at black voters in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philly,
and Atlanta, it's striking that people who have
been treated the worst by our democracy consistently,
consistently do the most to save it.
Drop one of Clues' bombs for black people, Dramos,
and don't you slow.
Don't you be slow either, okay?
Because Dramos was in here arguing with me this morning.
About what?
Latino voters.
He said that they showed up and we didn't.
I didn't say that.
You see, this guy is crazy, man.
This guy is absolutely crazy.
That's not what I said.
I mean, not to mention,
if you look at the numbers now
while all this is going on,
we have the highest one-day numbers of coronavirus,
over 100,000 in a day.
It's crazy.
How we get there?
I'm just saying this all matters with the election.
If you look at it,
Donald Trump is the person
that hasn't shown great leadership during coronavirus.
I think that's a big issue.
You don't think so?
During this election?
When was the highest one day?
Just now.
Well, people already voted you.
I know what I'm saying.
All this is happening at the same time.
They just revealed it on the news as we're waiting to find out who the new president is going to be.
Oh, okay.
But let me ask you a question, Charlamagne.
Yes, sir.
You were so happy.
You said, black people are saving the Democratic Party, right?
What does that mean?
Because what do they give us?
Nothing.
But here's the thing.
But here's the thing.
This is why the work after this election is the most important work.
You know what I'm saying?
Having those boots on the ground,
and more importantly, keeping our boots in the Biden administration's ass.
That's the most important thing.
We got to apply collective pressure all across
the board. It ain't no honeymoons.
Ain't no celebrating. We got work to do.
And we're going to press their line and use
collective pressure to move
them the way we need them to move. Yeah, but it's like you
take care of me and I take care of you.
It's all transactional, baby. Why you look at me like
that? It's all transactional.
That's the problem
with a lot of Democrats. That's what they say about Democrats and Republicans.
They say Republicans fall in line, Democrats
fall in love. Ain't no love, baby.
Okay? This is all transactional.
Simple and plain.
Alright. Well, let's get the show cracking.
Front page news. What we talking about, Yee?
Well, let's talk about these votes and what's
happening and what states we are still waiting on and what the predictions are.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get some front page news.
Where are we starting, Yee?
Well, let's start with these counts.
Now, according to Fox News, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are at 264, while Donald Trump is at Mike Pence with 214.
Again, 270 is needed for the win with the Electoral College.
Now, for CNN, they have Joe Biden at 253 and Donald Trump at 213.
Trump allegedly was very upset at Rupert Murdoch over Fox News' call for Arizona to go to Biden.
So they said he called up and was livid with them after they declared Joe Biden the winner of Arizona.
Why are you mad at Fox News? Don't be mad at Fox News.
It's the voters who showed up and voted. It ain't Fox News' fault.
Now, Joe Biden has won the most votes out of any candidate in history.
Not because he's good.
Over 70 million votes nationwide because a lot more people voted.
That's right.
People showed up
because they want that fascist
side of the White House.
Not because Joe Biden
is actually an amazing candidate.
Let's throw that out there.
In the meantime,
Donald Trump is suing
in three different states.
Right now,
he's filed lawsuits
in Pennsylvania,
Michigan,
and Georgia.
He wants them to stop the vote.
So let's see what Joe Biden
has to say so far
about these counts.
And now after a long night of counting, it's clear that we're winning enough states to reach 270
electoral votes needed to win the presidency. I'm not here to declare that we've won,
but I am here to report when the count is finished, we believe we will be the winners all right now joe biden wants them to
still count every vote even though donald trump is suing to stop the vote every vote must be counted
no one's going to take our democracy away from us not now not ever we the people will not be silenced
the governor of pennsy, in the meantime,
is responding to Donald Trump's lawsuit where he wants them to stop the vote.
The Trump campaign filed a lawsuit
to stop the counting of ballots in Pennsylvania.
That is simply wrong.
It goes against the most basic principles of our democracy.
Our election officials at the state and local levels
should be free to do their jobs without fear,
without intimidation, without attacks.
These attempts to subvert the democratic process
are simply disgraceful.
Stop the count! I'm losing!
That's the biggest sore loser message ever.
That's like being knocked out on the canvas
and asking the ref to stop the count
as he's counting to ten.
By the way, if we stop in the count, stop the fight.
Declare Biden the winner then.
You can't stop the count, man.
If we stop in the count, stop the fight.
Everybody's vote matters.
Everybody's vote has to count.
You cannot stop the count.
You cannot do that.
You can't just say stop.
Now, Donald Trump has been tweeting.
He said they are finding Biden votes all over the place in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
So bad for our country.
Wow.
It looks like Michigan has now found the ballots necessary to keep a wonderful young man, John James, out of the U.S. Senate.
What a terrible thing is happening.
We are winning Pennsylvania big.
But the Pennsylvania Secretary of State just announced that there are millions of ballots left to be counted.
Now, some of his tweets are being flagged for having misleading or disputed information as well. Donald Trump tweeted out, and this
was one of the flagged tweets, there was a large number
of secretly dumped ballots, as has
been widely reported. They
also flagged the tweet, we have claimed for electoral
vote purposes the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
which won't allow legal observers, the state
of Georgia and the state of North Carolina,
each one of which has a big Trump lead.
Yeah, I mean, Trump's screaming about
Pennsylvania. Joe doesn't even need Pennsylvania at this point, right?
Like, what, he just need Arizona to come in and Nevada.
He just need Nevada.
Yeah, Arizona and Nevada.
And Arizona.
Arizona and Nevada, and he's good.
All right, well, that is your Front Page News.
All right, thank you, Miss E.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Let's go.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed.
Say it with your chest.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So if you got something on your mind, let it out.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, this is Todd.
I'm calling you from Cleveland, Ohio. What's up, Envy? What's up, Charlamagne? Yo, this is Todd calling you from Cleveland, Ohio.
What's up, Envy? What's up, Charlamagne?
Peace, King.
Angela. Still taking nice pictures, Angela.
Hey, listen, I want to get this off my chest.
I think people should really pay attention to how we're probably about to get in this country
the best combination of humility and efficiency that this nation has had since the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.
I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's
doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Like grace.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Wake up, wake up.
Wake your ass up.

Hello, who's this?
Hey, good morning.
Good day.
Ethan, blessed.
What's up?
How you guys doing?
What's up, Port-A-Potty guy?
Sean Stone.
What's up, Sean Stone?
Hey, Angela.
Good morning, man.
I see you doing your thing.
I love to see you doing your thing, Angela.
What's wrong?
You sound depressed, man.
You having flashbacks when Trav busted your ass on this radio in that freestyle?
What are you talking about? I'm not depressed at all. You sound depressed. You know what I mean? You do sound a little down, bro. You having flashbacks when Trav busted your ass on this radio in that freestyle?
What are you talking about?
I'm not depressed at all. You sound depressed.
You do sound a little down, bro.
I want to get stuff off my chest, man.
You know what I mean?
I don't like the way the Breakfast Club treat me, man.
How do we treat you?
I don't know how to treat you like anything.
I don't know how to treat you like our producer a second ago.
He called and you put him on hold and you're wiling on him.
Like, I'm always on hold.
A lot of people call and we go through the phones randomly.
So if you don't get picked, it ain't our fault.
But I just don't like the way you're talking to our people up there.
They're doing their job.
They're answering the calls, and they're putting people on hold, bro.
Envy, they thought to me, mess up too.
What are you talking about?
No, he didn't.
He said, I'm listening to him pick up the phone.
That's how I even knew you was here today.
What do you want, Sean?
Dan, are you talking to him aggressively, Dan?
Absolutely not.
Dan was talking to him aggressively.
Stop that.
I heard it.
I don't have a problem with Dan.
I just don't like the fact that I'm being
blackballed. You know what I mean?
You don't do anything to be blackballed.
You don't do anything to be blackballed,
Sean. There's nothing to blackball.
There's nothing
to blackball, Sean. You don't do
anything. What are we blackballing, Sean?
He really thinks he works here.
Yeah, but he calls three times a week.
He speaks three times a week.
Being blackballed.
We let you rap on this radio against Trav, and you lost.
That's not called being blackballed.
He didn't lose.
He got washed.
He got washed, destroyed, eaten.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, good morning.
It's Jermaine out of Atlanta with Bonley and Vodka.
How y'all doing?
Jermaine, what's up?
Get off your chest, man.
Not much.
I just wanted to say big birthday shout out to my daughters, my twins, the Barmaid twins.
They just turned five this past weekend.
So I just want to give them a big shout out and show them love, man.
That's what it is, brother.
Enjoy your day with them, man.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Hello, who's this?

Good morning, good morning, Breakfast Club.
I just want to let you guys know that I love you guys.
I listen to you every morning.
Charlamagne, you are so real and so raw.
You're so dope.
Thank you.
So are you, Angelique, and so are you, LifeSkidDJNB.
LifeSkidDJNB.
My son, Makai, all the way in Pennsylvania.
Mommy loves you.
I want to give a big shout out to my daughter, Maya Woody.
This is her last year of high school.
And she's ready for college.
And I just want to say so many blessings out to her and blessings all around.
Let me ask you a question, Queen.
How do you listen to us in Charlotte?
Power 105.
Oh, you listen on the app, the iHeartRadio app?
iHeartRadio, yes.
Got you, got you. Well, thank you so much, Mama. Oh, you listen on the app, the iHeartRadio app? iHeartRadio, yes. Got you, got you.
Well, thank you so much, mama.
We appreciate you.
Make sure you subscribe to all the Black Effect podcasts on the iHeartRadio app, too, while you're on there.
Yes, sir.
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, sir.
All right, have a good one, mama.
I love you.
Have a good day.
You, too, now.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.
Now, we got rumors on the way?
Yes, and let's talk about breakups. This couple
was engaged and have just announced that
they are not actually going to get married.
Alright. We'll get into that next. Keep it
locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ
MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne
the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. What's happening?
Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk
Russell Wilson.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On the Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
Well, Russell Wilson plans to play in the NFL until he's 45 years old.
He was on the Bill Simmons podcast,
and he was talking about how he invests $1 million every year in his body. Here's what
he had to say. I got a full-time trainer that travels with me everywhere. You know, works with
Sierra too. I got a Sam Decker Davis. I have a full-time PT, Amy. I have a full-time mobile
person and it's working on me. It's making sure that I'm moving, you know, the right way and
everything else. I have a full-time massage person, two chefs. We have a whole performance team.
I've been doing it for five years or so, six years now.
My co-red coach asked me the other day,
how many days do you think you do body work?
I probably do 363.
Really, the reality is Christmas and Thanksgiving
because I'm trying to play until I'm 45 at least.
Good for him because now listening to that, I got more context.
When I first heard he was spending a million dollars a year on his body,
I was like, that's a waste of time.
Just work out and take your CMOS.
But now when you hear the personal chef and the masseuse
and everything else that goes with it, now it makes sense.
As he should.
That's his investment.
That's his body.
That is an investment.
I just thought he was talking about just working out.
I'm like, huh?
A million dollars.
That's a bit excessive.
A bit extreme, yep.
All right.
Now, as we're talking about the NFL, let's talk about the New York Giants.
Logan Ryan says that team trainers actually saved his wife's life.
Here's what they said happened.
After the game, my wife flew down to Florida to go vote,
and she was having some stomach pains.
I talked to one of our trainers about the symptoms.
He said, no, she needs to go to the ER.
My wife ended up going to the ER.
They ended up catching, I don't want to butcher the word,
a topic pregnancy where the egg was in the wrong place in her fallopian tube
and it was about to burst.
So she ended up going to emergency surgery is what I'm dealing with right now,
and they ended up saving her.
Who is Logan Ryan?
I don't know any of the New York Giants except for Shaquan.
What's his name?
Shaquan.
Shaquan Barkley.
Who's Logan Ryan?
He's at free safety.
Yeah, he signed this season.
But you can absolutely positively die
from that. Well, I'm glad that his wife is okay.
Dropping the clues bombs for his wife and for those
people that saved her.
She actually learned that she was pregnant from that
because she, I guess she had an IUD
and she probably didn't think
that at all.
And that's how she found out she was even pregnant.
Oh, that's beautiful.
I'm glad somebody saved her.
Who's going to save the New York Giants though?
Same person that's going to save the Cowboys.
Oh, okay.
Well, we still got a better record than you.
You guys both got to relax.
We got two eyes.
Y'all got one.
Lamar Odom and Sabrina Parr.
Their engagement is off, according to Sabrina Parr.
Yes.
It's been about one year since they announced that they were getting married,
and she broke the news on Instagram.
She said, y'all know I'm honest and transparent,
so I have to be the first to let you guys know that I am no longer engaged to Lamar.
This has been a difficult decision for me to make,
but it is the best for myself and my children.
Lamar has some things that he alone has to work through.
She said she does love him dearly but is no longer
able to be by his side
while he seeks the help
he so desperately needs.
I learned so much
from rumor report.
I had no idea
that Lamar Odom
was even engaged.
Really?
Mm-mm.
They've been talking
about it for the longest time.
He reported it
like several times.
I didn't hear it.
I thought he was with Khloe.
Who's with Khloe?
Tristan. Tristan. Okay, gotloe. Who's with Khloe? Tristan.
Tristan.
Okay, got you.
Who said Trent?
Who's Trent?
Nobody said Trent.
I said French.
Somebody said French.
Oh, French.
Who's French?
He's talking about French Montana.
That was five years ago.
That's right, Drum.
We don't pay attention to that kind of stuff, Drum.
I'm with you.
Okay?
I'm with you.
All right, now, Tekashi69's kidnapper has been sentenced to 24 years behind bars.
Anthony Harve Ellison, he's been sentenced on charges of racketeering, kidnapping, and assault.
And in addition to those 24 years, he also has five years of supervised release whenever he does actually get out of jail.
I don't think y'all realize how much time that is, bro.
24 years? It's a long time. Y'all realize how much time that is, bro. 24 years.
It's a long time.
Y'all realize how long 24 years is?
Just think about it for a second.
I know it sounds, it's so 24.
You think 24-hour fitness, 24 hours in a day.
24 years.
It's a long time.
That's, I don't even know how to do math, but that's a lot of presidents.
4, 8, 16, 20.
That could be like five different presidents.
I don't know.
I don't know how to do math.
Never mind.
It depends how long they stay in office.
That's true.
It could be.
Okay, let's just say it was, you know, three.
It'd be three presidents if they did eight terms apiece.
No, not eight terms.
Two terms.
Two terms.
There you go.
Never mind.
Y'all know what I'm trying to say.
I just do three terms.
That's just a long-ass damn time is what I'm trying to say.
This guy's crazy.
Okay?
24 years.
Lord have mercy.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee.
I can't.
Nope, I don't want to.
That is your rule.
24 years?
Depending on what age you are, just kill me.
Goodness gracious.
All right, we got front page news next year.
Yes, and of course, we're going to keep you updated on what's going on with the election.
And we'll talk about this clip that was recirculating again yesterday that kind of predicted everything that's happening.
All right, we'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Your morning. The Breakfast Club.
Your mornings will never be the same.
When a train hits a vehicle at a railway crossing,
the results are often deadly.
Be cautious at crossings, and if the signals are going,
don't be tempted to try and sneak across the tracks,
even if you don't see a train.
Stop. Trains can't.

and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.
It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive
myself. It's okay. Like grace, have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're
going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. with this campaign right now with this election. Now, former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders
actually predicted what was going to happen with this 2020 presidential race,
and he predicted this while he was on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
That interview from October is making the rounds again.
Listen to this.
Polls show Democrats are more likely to use mail-in ballots.
Republicans are more likely to walk into polling booths on Election Day.
It is likely that the first votes that will be counted
will be those people who came in on Election Day, which will be Republican.
And here is the fear that at 10 o'clock on election night,
Trump is winning in Michigan, he's winning in Pennsylvania,
he's winning in Wisconsin.
And he gets on the television.
He says, thank you, Americans, for reelecting me.
It's all over.
Have a good day.
But then the next day and the day following,
all of those mail-in ballots start getting counted.
And it turns out that Biden has won those states,
at which point Trump says, see, I told you the whole thing was fraudulent.
You know, it's easy to predict what's going to happen,
especially when you have a person telling you exactly what they're going to do.
Trump been telling us the blueprint, you know, for what he planned to do
as far as attacking the integrity of the election for months.
He's been telling us exactly what he's going to do, how he's going to do it,
and he knows his followers are stupid enough to believe that.
Like, I saw somebody on Facebook last night say, how is this possible?
On election night, he was up by a half a million votes in Michigan.
Now he's down.
It's called counting the votes, stupid.
That's what happens.
All right?
Jesus.
All right, well, Donald Trump's team, in the meantime,
is sending out emails to his supporters.
Saying how?
The Democrats will try to steal this election, just like I predicted from the start.
Mail-in ballots are leading to chaos like you've never seen.
Plain and simple, the radical left is going to do whatever it takes to try and rip a Trump-Pence victory away from you.
And that's why I'm coming to you now.
I need your help to ensure we have the resources to protect the results.
We can't allow the left-wing mob to undermine our election.
Yeah, I mean, his rhetoric
hasn't even been consistent on that
because at one point
he was against mail-in voting,
then he was for mail-in voting.
He actually did absentee ballot himself
and he did mail-in voting.
So it's just like,
that is the process in America.
People do mail-in ballots.
I didn't trust mail-in ballots,
to be honest,
just because I never did it before.
Right.
But I did it this year.
I did it this year, yeah.
My daughter did it,
my wife did it this year. It seems to be working. yeah. My daughter did it. My wife did it this year.
It seems to be working.
They pull up kind of late,
but they pull up nonetheless,
like Jesus.
They don't come when you call them,
but they're always on time.
All right, well,
you can also hear
what's been happening in Detroit
as they were trying to count the vote.
There were people lined up outside,
and here were the chants.
Stop the count! Stop the count! Stop the count!
If you stop the count, you need to stop the fight.
Okay, I'm an avid boxing fan.
When somebody hits that canvas, if there's no need for a count,
that means the fight is waved off, somebody declared a winner.
Every vote has to count. You cannot stop the count. Come on now.
Unless you're getting your ass kicked now.
Unless it's just like playing...
Doesn't matter. Fair is fair.
If you lose, you got to take a graceful... If you're getting your ass kicked now. Unless it's just like playing... Doesn't matter. Fair is fair. If you lose, you gotta take
a graceful... If you're playing Madden and somebody
up by four touchdowns, you gotta pass the controller,
man. Unplug it.
Okay.
Unplug it. Trump trying to unplug the
PlayStation right now.
Turn it right off.
Oh, man. Yeah, but as you
can see, you know, throughout these different states,
there are a lot of protesters. They actually declared a riot in Portland and the National Guard was activated and they said at least 10 protesters were arrested.
And that was in response to widespread violence that was happening there.
Now, one person they said was armed with a gun knife and was toting an improvised explosive device.
They also had officers were being attacked with bottles
and at least one Molotov cocktail.
We expect, man, why you turn the future,
why you say that so fast?
It sound like somebody threw a Molotov cocktail in your house
and you had to run real quickie.
Jesus Christ.
But we expected violence though, you know what I mean?
But I did see a lot of people on the right say
that they wouldn't participate in violence
because that's what the left would do if they lost.
So we'll see if they stick to that promise.
Yeah, I've seen them protesting in New York City.
I've seen, I think, 50 people got arrested last night in New York.
I've seen somebody spit in the office's face.
It was nasty last night in New York.
Downtown, too.
Yeah, what's the place called?
Greenwich?
Yep.
I thought it would say Greenwich.
No, Greenwich.
I heard you say that earlier.
Greenwich.
Greenwich.
My goodness.
All right.
Isn't that the Wizard of Oz?
Oh, no.
Glinda the Good Witch.
Never mind.
All right.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, that's your front page news.
All right.
Thank you, Missy.
Now, when we come back, we have some special guests joining us.
We have Ebony K. Williams and Dustin Ross.
We'll be talking to them.
That's right.
The host of the Holding Court podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network.
And plus, you know, Ebony's just brilliant the way she breaks down law.
And she's the newest member of the Real Housewives of New York.
There you go.
I couldn't remember what city, but I know it was one of them.
All right.
So we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Come on.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got some special guests on the line.
We have Ebony K. Williams and Dustin Ross.
Good morning, guys.
Good morning, team.
Good morning, Breakfast Club.
Collectively, they are the host of the Holding Court podcast.
The Black Effect Network with Aja Ripa.
Yes, yes.
So how did y'all decide to do a show together, Holding Court?
So I slid in Dustin's DM.
Dustin didn't know me from a can of paint.
I'd never met Dustin Ross in my life.
I was going to do this show solo ye at first, and then I,
which was fine. And then I was like, but I want, I want the edge factor. I want somebody that's
going to inject a little levity. Cause you know, it's like, I'm going to be putting down the law
and I'm going to keep it a buck, but I wanted that. And I wanted a black male dynamic, to be
honest. You know, I thought that was very important. I never wanted this to feel an exclusively female show this is a show for everybody in the culture um so I reached out to a homegirl who's like
a culture head and I said go ahead hunt uh Nat and find me the best talent out there on the gram
and she was like Dustin Ross you heard of him I said I'm about to and I slid into his dms I was
like brother I have an opportunity I'd like to speak to you about, can I call you? And Dustin said, I said, uh, hell yeah, you can call me. You know,
Ebony was, you know, when Ebony K Williams slides in your DMs, you know, it was just good black.
You know what I'm saying? It was a kind of black eye line myself. It was just good black. So I
said, yeah, we're going to take this call. And, um, when she pitched that show idea to me, I was
completely in love with it. And the chemistry just kind of organically did its thing, you know, of course, which we knew it would.
And now we have this amazing show on Black Effect Network.
So I'm really excited to be a part of it.
But here's the thing.
That's why I wanted Dustin on the show, y'all, is because I could sit here all day with my privilege of my legal background.
The show needed that every man, every woman perspective, right?
That's able to say, okay, E,
you kind of going deep in your legal bag right now.
You deep in the political bag,
like make it make sense, make it plain.
And Dustin does that so perfectly.
And I love that.
Sure, I know for a fact,
you listened to the Supreme Court episode.
What'd you think?
I loved it.
And I learned so much.
The reason I love the Hold the Court podcast
is because we live in this era.
And I think Dustin even said that on one of the podcasts, like everybody's a lawyer.
Everybody thinks they know the law, you know, but they really don't.
So to hear somebody that actually knows it, it makes perfect sense.
That's the funny thing. When you see people hold their cameras, whenever you see people getting arrested or somebody getting locked up,
there's always the guy with the camera that's telling somebody their rights and don't know what they're talking about.
They be like, bro, they can't search your car.
They ain't got no right to search your car.
Like, you know, so it's good that.
They got a warrant.
Meanwhile, here's the point.
Yeah.
No, it's true.
It's a lot of Google and iPhone lawyers and shit out there, y'all.
But, you know, I get it.
I get it.
We are more informed.
We are a more technologically accessible generation than ever before.
So it's very easy to confuse a Google search with a jurist doctorate.
And that's why I wanted to do this show, y'all, is because our people the most, black folk in America, we need a better understanding of law, justice, and the Constitution.
Dustin brilliantly called our Constitution our terms and conditions of living in this country. That's what it is. Nobody reads it and it's always there. So I think Democrats
have to change their whole strategy. I think that their messaging sucks. And I think they keep
running these establishment Democrats instead of banking on the people like the Senator Harris's.
Like they should trust in their new blood as opposed to trying to keep running those old horses.
Well, I know that to be true, Charlemagne.
And the title of today's episode of Holden Court is We See You.
Black men in America are the new swing voter, period.
Black men in America are the new swing voter.
People got to get the memo.
The Democratic Party needs to get the memo, clearly. Gone are the days where it was a foregone conclusion that Black men are going to
vote Democrat, 95, 98 percent. That day is gone. Early exit polls, y'all, 13 percent of Black men
voted for Trump in 2016. Y'all want to guess the percentage of Black men that voted for Trump so
far this year? How much? 18 percent. So I think that tells us everything we need to know.
I think it affirms the theory that Dustin and I explore in this podcast.
You know, I have Cedric Richmond on, a good congressman from Louisiana,
an old friend and mentor of mine.
And I asked him, you know, I don't want to spill too much tea.
I got to listen to the podcast.
But I said, Cedric, how the hell your party let this happen?
Black men used to show up for Democrats at the same numbers as black women, 95 to 98 percent every election.
Now you got Trump damn near siphoning off 20 percent of black men in a general election.
Well, what do you think?
Dustin, explain this to me.
Well, I'm more concerned about who's going to count those votes in Pennsylvania.
I told Ebony earlier we need the ladies Nino Brown had, you know,
bagging up that dope in New Jack City.
That's who we need counting these ballots in Pennsylvania
because I want to make sure that every vote is counted.
I do think that Black men are definitely the new swing vote.
We've seen so many people coming forward in ways that we may not have wished for them to.
People like Lil Wayne,
people like the conversation with Ice Cube
and the confusion surrounding that.
So I'm looking forward to closing this chapter
once and for all
and then sorting out the pieces afterward.
But the first thing we got to do
is get Donald Trump's ass out the White House.
I know before we discussed like hold your vote.
Have Republicans ever done a hold your vote campaign?
Hail to the no.
Republicans vote in every election.
And that's one of the reasons that they can be successful in ways that the Democrats just haven't figured out.
That's why their judiciary looks the way they want it to look.
That's why right now they're probably going to win back the United States Senate.
We have to start politically from inception.
We need to hand select who we want doing our representation.
Then we need to force feed them the agenda.
We shouldn't be asking Biden for an agenda as far as I'm concerned.
I don't really give a damn what Joe Biden thinks is good for black America.
Personally, I don't care.
I'm going to tell whether it's Joe, whether it's Bill Clinton,
whoever the candidate is, we're going to tell you what is good for black America because your white
ass wouldn't know. What are the other variables you think that cause people to support Trump?
Because it can't just be that America is racist and sexist, right? It's got to be more than that.
Dustin, would you like to speak to this and give some insight as to what we learned from
the congressman yesterday? We learned that there's several things that people have that are their own personal agendas for supporting Donald Trump.
Things from it could be from greed. It could be just a power issue.
Donald Trump is a white American male's dream. He is. He's got the highest job in the land.
They associate him with wealth and just being being a winner by any means necessary.
And that's what they're attaching themselves to.
I think they also are attaching themselves to mediocrity.
I think Donald Trump represents the last stand against mediocrity being able to be truly exceptional in this country.
I think the man can barely string a sentence together.
I think he looks a mess.
All those things make him very desirable to Dustin's point to a lot of
average folks out there,
especially if you are white and mediocre,
Donald Trump is your wet dream.
People want to be able to rest on their mediocrity and the intrinsic value
of their whiteness.
And that just don't go as far as it used to.
And they're scared and they're mad about it.
And that's why I think they're gravitating towards Donald Trump. We have more with Ebony K. Williams and Dustin
Ross when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking
it with Dustin Ross and Ebony K. Williams. Charlamagne. Could you be in a relationship
or be friends with somebody who is a Trump supporter.
Or on a show where they say all lives matter.
Yeah.
With your castmates.
Well, I was going to cut to you, Dustin.
Dustin, you start and then I'll get to you.
Hell no.
You know what I mean?
I respect everybody's right to have their own political views.
But if you are willing to align yourself
with someone who has done just literally heinous things rip kids out of their parents arms kids
in cages don't know where the parents are um just we can take it all just no so i can't if you if
you're willing to align yourself with those things and really take a stand and say that that represents
your character then that's when i'm gonna have to make some decisions myself. Now we can say hi and bye, you know, I can stand next to you at a bar, you know, and things
like that, but I'm not really interested in, you know, talking any further than that at this point.
No, if you got a MAGA hat on, you might as well go ahead and be bold and put on a Klan's hood.
It's the same thing. The same thing. So you're actually asking two different questions of me,
and I want to answer them both. Should I be in a relationship, share my intimate space, my body, my bed with a partner who,
by virtue of his political support, upholds white supremacy, which is a threat to my very
existence?
Hell no.
Could I be actual friends, have real interpersonal relationships, women or men, platonically,
they did that. Hell no. Can I be on a show? Real Housewives, because I know there's some
Trump supporters on Real Housewives of New York. There absolutely are. You're exactly right,
here's my take on that though. When I was given the opportunity, invited to join this group of
women on this cast, I had to really do some thinking, right?
I'm a trained lawyer.
I'm trained in risk assessment.
There is risk for sure.
But I felt that the risk was outweighed by the fact that for 13 years, this show has
never had a Black woman, not a Black experience, not a Black lens, not even a Black point of
view.
So I felt that the opportunity, the necessity for that
outweighed whatever personal risk I would take. Y'all know me. I'm not afraid to go into spaces
that they don't like me, that aren't accustomed to me, that were not designed for me. I'm so happy
that you're on there, Ebony, because I feel like for people watching, it also will be educational
for them because it's hard when you get that one side.
And I know Leah's on there and she's not on that side, but it's different coming from you,
a person who has had experiences and can have those conversations and people watching can say,
okay, now I get it. Hopefully, you know what I mean? I think so. That's the whole point. I'm
not there for any other reason, to be honest. You know what I mean? I got plenty jobs.
It's not about that for me.
It is about what you just said, Angela.
It's the opportunity to impact the broader audience that I can't necessarily reach at Revolt,
even though I'm still doing that work.
And that's an important audience as well.
Sometimes you got to show people better
than you can tell them.
I look forward to the opportunity
in engaging with my colleagues
that believe all lives matter and don't understand why that's problematic.
Now, I got to ask you, I know this is a little off topic, but on Housewives, does that mean that we get to see like what's going on relationship wise?
Because normally on the show, there's some type of situation.
Oh, we don't see any boo.
You know what?
Y'all are going to see it. I mean,
of course. Like that was the whole point too. Y'all have known me for years. Y'all know I've been fiercely private when it comes to my personal life and anything beyond the work,
I don't even engage with because the work is so important, right? And for years, I wanted it to
be only about the work. I wanted no distractions. Your girl just turned 37.
You know, I'm really thinking about some different things in my life.
I'm thinking about starting a family.
I'm thinking about what does family even mean to me historically and moving forward.
And I think that my work now speaks for itself.
I think my credibility is established.
And I think it's the right time to explore who I am, not just as a lawyer, not just as
a broadcaster or journalist.
Who am I as a woman? Who am I as a friend? Who am I as a lover?
Okay. Okay.
That was pretty powerful.
Here we go. Here we go.
I can't wait.
What defines, I guess, womanhood to you, Evan?
That's a brilliant question, Charlamagne. I think womanhood is the duality of faith and vulnerability.
And have the faith to know that I can withstand anything,
that even when the s*** hits the fan as it did with coronavirus.
And y'all know I was sick for a couple of months
and battled that in a very difficult place.
And I reminded myself I can take care of myself, you know,
and that's a big part of womanhood too.
How bad was your COVID?
It was, I would call it moderate.
Thank God I didn't have to be hospitalized on a ventilator,
but I couldn't smell or taste for six, seven weeks.
I had extremely bad neck and back spasms.
And to this day, I have remnants of the neck and back pain. I got to take
an Epsom salt bath and all of that like daily, really. Now, you know, offset got pulled over the
other day and they searched his car. And the first thing offset said, you don't have the right to do
that. So in that situation, cops pull up, they say, get out the car. We need to search your car.
What, what is the proper procedure? Okay. So it's a legal answer to that envy, and it's a practical answer to that.
Okay, so the legal answer is an officer is only supposed to be able to search your car
if they have probable cause.
Okay, that's the legal standard.
Probable cause, reasonable belief that you are up to criminal activity.
If they have a search warrant, then that's a lot plainer.
Right.
But if I'm a Black man in America, or a black woman in America, for that matter,
and an officer says, let me search your car,
I'm not about to litigate that on the side of the road because I might lose my life.
You know what I'm saying?
So I think that's what's important.
You want to live to it.
And you said your dad used to tell you this, Envy.
Make it home.
Right.
Make it home.
The problem is, it's like anybody can say like you
know he was driving to a rally and anybody could say yeah they had a gun anybody could see that any
any given time they could say something small like like um i said the smell the common one i would
see when i was practicing y'all the cop always said it boilerplate i have i smelled the aroma
of marijuana just that gives them enough probable cause to now search the contents of your car, sometimes up into and including your glove box and or trunk.
And now you've got a whole thing. But here's the thing. Here's the good news about that.
And I want everybody to get this. This is really an important question.
Let it take place. Don't litigate that on the side of the road. Live to tell about it.
Your lawyer, if they're any damn good, what we do is we suss out at trial or
pretrial whether or not it was a valid stop. That's the first question any lawyer says. Did they have
legitimate probable cause? We find out it's some bullshit. It's that fake ass smell of marijuana
or something else that's unreliable. Now your whole case gets tossed because the stop, right, the beginning of the
contact was erroneous. So let us lawyers fight that battle for you. Don't try to be a hero on
the side of the road dealing with these cops. You'll lose your life. I feel like we got a good
taste of the Hold the Court podcast. I like that. You lose your life. Okay. Sorry. I just, I hate,
I just. I love it. Listen, this is what
Butch Williams told me in Durham, who was my
legal godfather and my greatest mentor.
He said, El, it's
always better to be
tried by 12
in a box than carried
by six. That's right.
All right. Well, we appreciate you
guys for checking in this morning. Thank you so much.
Make sure y'all check out the Holding Court podcast on the black effect iheart radio podcast network available
wherever podcasts are listened to thank y'all and congrats again on your hall of fame induction
y'all are absolutely legends mr breakfast club good morning
all right i ain't gonna front man i'm tired of all this political stuff now i can't i'm not All right.
I ain't going front, man.
I'm tired of all this political stuff now.
I'm not.
I am.
I love it.
I think we just getting started.
Matter of fact, a salute to Ebony K. Williams and Dustin Ross for joining us.
Holding Court is definitely one of my favorite new podcasts.
Not because Ebony is my partner on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network,
but because I really do learn a lot from the Holden Court podcast. She breaks down law in a way that
is very easy and very digestible.
In this week's episode, we
see you, black men.
America's new swing voter with Cedric Wichman
is great. Yes.
It's just a lot. I was trying to go to
bed last night and I've been watching
all the election coverage.
I finally had to turn the TV off. I was exhausted. And you know i've been watching all the election coverage i finally had to turn the tv off i was exhausted and you know what nothing's happened since nothing's happened
since last night but you just get nervous you're gonna wake up like the first thing i do when i
wake up is grab my phone and i'm like all right let me see if anything new happened because i'm
just waiting nervous well i focus on god not circumstances because regardless of what the
outcome of this election is even though we know the outcome is probably going to be Biden-Harris,
we as black people still have work to do.
You know what I mean?
That's why you can't get tired now,
because now is the time when you tighten up those boots
and you strap on that helmet even tighter.
You know what I mean?
And it's time to get to work,
because we've got to hold these people accountable.
All of these campaign promises they made us,
we've got to hold them accountable.
And, you know, if we help them flip the Senate,
we really got to hold them accountable to get some things done in these streets.
It's all about collective pressure.
Can't get tired now.
You get tired of dying your beard?
Clearly not.
Okay?
So I need you to have that same energy for political candidates that you have for Beijing, Envy.
Okay?
You hear me?
All right.
Loves Beijing.
He loves Beijing.
He was Beijing with a political party.
No, that's not what he uses.
He uses just for men, he said.
You think it's just for men?
He told us that.
When he hears our black party, that's what he thinks.
Our blacked out beard party.
That's what he wants to start.
But I do think Envy should get some type of sponsorship or something because you do a good job.
You know I'm standing here, right?
I'm sitting here with you guys.
Well, you'd rather us talk behind your back?
Yes.
I mean, we do.
I mean, we do, but I'd much rather stand into your face as well.
Goodness gracious.
It don't look as stupid as it did the past couple weeks.
You got it under control.
Whoever your artist is now is pretty decent.
Whatever painter you're using now, keep him.
It's subtle, okay?
This guy's crazy.
It's subtle. This guy's crazy. It's subtle. It's subtle.
It was very loud. You know, I haven't
had my hair cut or done this whole
entire pandemic, and my hair
looks raggedy. I think at some point
I'm going to have to get my hair trimmed. Okay.
Envy, where do you go?
You need to go see Johnny, bro. Johnny said he
ain't seeing you in a minute, to be honest with you. That's what he
told me the other day. Johnny's been too busy. He's
working on set now. And he's very disappointed
in whoever's painting your house now, your beard.
Whoever's renovating your
beard, he's very disappointed. Johnny's back
on set. I'm telling you, right now it's subtle.
Oh, you could start your
own thing, paint my face.
Listen, on a scale
of one to Amari
Hardwick, you
were way past goals.
But now you're about a six.
You're about a six.
You guys finished?
I guess.
You feel comfortable talking about another man's appearance?
Yes.
I'm actually hitting somebody up right now.
I know somebody who actually makes these products.
Amy, would you be down?
Paint my face?
That'd be dope.
You know you're always looking for a new endorsement.
I'm with that. PMF, baby.
I think you should make money off this.
Yo, it could be like a carnival once we
open up and stop social distancing. We can have you at a booth
and have kids just come and splash
black paint all over your face. That'd be dope.
I'm with that. Let's do it.
Hey, sales. We got a new marketing idea.
Let's go, baby. Not sales.
This is a whole brand new business.
It's a brand new business.
As an entrepreneur, Envy.
You guys done?
Are you finished?
We're going to find someone to paint your face.
Are you finished or are you done?
I like this.
Angela, do you have rumors underway?
Yes.
And we are going to talk about Method Man.
He's the guest tonight.
My first guest on my first ever episode of Established on Fox Soul.
And I have a little preview of one of the things that he talks about.
Phenomenal beard, by the way, Meth.
Always has a great beard.
He could be one of your ambassadors.
All right.
We'll get to the rumors next.
Don't move.
Don't go anywhere because we are the show you love.
Because we are so nice and friendly up here.
It's the Breakfast Love of the Morning.
Progressive.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report.
Rumor Report.
This is the Rumor Report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yee.
On the Breakfast Club.
So, tonight is the first episode of my show, Established, on Fox Soul.
Established with Angela Yee.
Dropping a cool bomb for Established. Hosted by Angela Ye, on Fox Soul. Established with Angela Yee. Dropping a coupon for Established.
Hosted by Angela Yee on Fox Soul.
My dream guest was Method Man
to be my first guest, and it worked out. He said yes
and did it just because we do have history.
Wu-Tang was the first place I ever worked.
So we have a lot of little fun stories to
talk about there, but one thing we discussed
was being on time,
and he talked about
acting. He was on Oz, if you all recall.
He had a stint on Oz that got cut short
because he showed up late.
I saw you told a story about,
I think you were late one time and they killed you off.
Yeah, I did Oz.
And it was just one day, I'm just laying there
and I'm like, man, I'm not kidding.
I called them, I was like, yeah, I'm gonna be a little late.
They was like, yeah, don't even show up. I was like, oh, I'm going to be a little late. They was like, yeah, don't even show up.
I'm calling my manager.
The manager's calling the assistant.
The assistant is relaying messages back and forth and being a real asshole about it too.
And it was like, look, Tom says show up tomorrow on time and we'll see what we can do.
So, you know, I show up the next day.
Then a new script came in and I read it and I was killed off.
Damn.
Damn.
Well.
So you got to be on time, guys.
But especially when it comes to that.
And he also expands on it to talk about how much money goes into these productions and how it affects everybody else that's working and the whole entire schedule.
That's very true.
Because you can cost a production a whole lot of money by being late especially something like The Wire
back then for HBO
it was Oz
that's still a huge production for HBO
how much money they probably was spending a day
an hour
fortunately for him I think he's a truly professional
person so he was given other chances
later but that was a lesson learned early on
killed him right off
changed that script
Black Thought now he did an interview with Vulture and he talked about getting complimented was a lesson learned early on killed him right off changed that script all right black thought
now he did an interview with vulture and he talked about getting complimented as your favorite
rapper's favorite rapper he said depending on who it's coming from it holds more weight and it's
more of a feeling of having accomplished what i intended to do in the beginning of my career or
what i've been doing all this time then he discusses one of the most memorable compliments
he ever received was within the last year and this is when Rakim was a guest on the Wendy Williams show.
Now, Wendy was talking about having a conversation with Rakim at dinner where they discussed top five emcees.
Listen to this.
You know, I'm like, Nas, you know, I run it down.
You know, who's my top five?
And then, you know, Rakim was like, I said, other than you, obviously, Ra.
So you know what he said?
He loves Black Thought.
I was shocked.
Like, I like Black Thought, but I don't even think of him as a top five runner up.
Black Thought is cognac.
Black Thought is wine.
You know, he's truly getting better with time.
And I think with rap music, you know, the more experience you get, you know, the older you get,
the more things that you just go through, you just have more things to discuss and talk
about. Your knowledge and information is more vast
and I think that's why, you know, Black Thought is just
getting better.
Yeah, Black Thought said, I dropped the mic, like,
F all y'all haters, my work is done here.
Mission accomplished. I was moved by that compliment.
Yeah, he always gets busy. Black Thought has always been
a top lyricist. And he's one of those
people that's scratching the age
demographic in hip-hop, right?
Because they always say, oh, hip-hop is a young man's sport.
But that hasn't been the case for the past 10, 15 years.
You know, you got these guys in their 40s snapping.
Still snapping.
Like Black Thought, like the Royce, the Five Nines.
You know, then you got guys like, oh, they're 50s.
Scarface, 50.
Like, these guys are incredible, you know?
All right.
And as y'all know, it is a difficult time for a lot of people.
You know, just speaking about the baby and his older brother who committed suicide,
really sad, Glenn Johnson.
And we want to, again, give our condolences to the baby and his family.
So the baby has shared a video to his social media with some advice on what we can be doing.
Good morning.
Check on your people.
Somebody probably just wants you to call and say,
what's up, are you straight?
We'll do that.
That's right.
Drop on the clues box for the baby.
Putting green hearts in the air for your brother.
Suicide is something that I don't quite understand,
but I don't think it is for me to understand.
No, for when somebody's at their lowest
and they feel like there's no other way out
and they feel like actually not being here,
it's better for their family,
better for society, and better for the world.
And the worst part about it is when you,
you know, do reach out to a person
that you know is going through something,
but, you know, they're going through something so much
that they don't want to talk,
so they cut off all communication with their,
you know, loved ones.
That's tough.
It's the easiest way to do it because that way you feel like you don't have to put that burden
or that whatever you're going through on anybody else,
so you cut everybody else off and just try to deal with it by yourself.
And a lot of times, you know, people look for outside things to cope,
whether it's alcohol, whether it's drugs, whatever it is,
or whether it's just being in your own thoughts. Yeah, please don'm never that busy you know what i'm saying like if i know somebody's
going through something in that way like i'm i'm never that busy i gotta i gotta stop and have a
conversation with you you know i was uh talking to some of our employees and i was having a
conversation about how we don't know what's going on in other people's lives.
And right now,
like, just be respectful of people.
You don't know why
somebody might be having
an off day.
Correct.
And it's just,
I think, a great time
for us to be
as empathetic to people
as we can.
And it's been a rough year
for some.
Like, I lost two friends
to suicide this year.
You know?
Rest in peace,
Jasmine Waters.
My man, Shaquille Carty,
as well.
So it's just like,
you know.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor reports.
All right.
Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to?
You know what?
Donald J. Trump needs to come to the front of the congregation.
I need to use this donkey of the day, Donald Trump intro, a couple more times before I don't need it anymore.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Your mornings will never be the same.
What up, y'all?
It's DJ Envy here.
From my experience at an historically black college and university,
I know that homecoming is a big deal.
With it canceled this year, we decided to bring the celebration to you with HBCU Homecoming Party on the Yard.
Presented by McDonald's.
Hosted by me.
McDonald's Black and Positively Golden Movement is about empowering the next generation of black leaders through initiatives like our HBCU programs that are positively shaping communities.
Watch our HBCU Homecoming Party on the Yard.
Presented by McDonald's on Thursday, November 12th.
Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.
Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag,
to say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now.
Out. He's fired.
He's fired!
Please step up to the congregation.
Yes, you are a dog.
When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.
They're bringing drugs.
They're bringing crime.
They're rapists.
These are jackass.
Yes, doggy of the day for Thursday, November 5th, goes to Donald J. Trump, the soon-to-be one-term president.
Not so fun fact for Trump voters.
Fun fact for those who didn't vote for him.
I think he's the first one-term president in 27 years, I believe.
I'm not the greatest at math.
Last one-term president was George H.W. Bush in 1993
when he ran for re-election against Bill Clinton.
He's also the third president ever to be impeached.
Look, don't be mad at me. Those are the stats, okay?
Donald J. Trump will go down as a one-term president who got impeached
and tried and is still
trying to destroy America's
democracy because yesterday
his campaign filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania,
Michigan, and Georgia. See, Trump is
setting up to contest battleground
states because he knows that Joe
Biden is about to get those 270
electoral college votes before
him. Now, the lawsuits are demanding
better access for campaign observers to locations where ballots are being processed and counted.
And they're raising absentee ballot concerns.
Now, never mind the fact that folks like the Associated Press are on the scene in some of these places.
And in Michigan, for example, the AP observed poll watches from both sides monitoring yesterday.
The Trump campaign is also looking to stick their pale faces in a Pennsylvania case at the Supreme Court that deals with whether ballots received up to three days after the election can be counted.
Now, listen, this should come as a surprise to nobody.
OK, simply because Tupac Shakur once said, if you let a person talk long enough, you'll hear their true intentions.
I don't even know if Tupac really said that because I never heard it.
But online, his face and name are on the meme.
Therefore, it's his quote. And if it's one thing Donald Trump, you know, knows how to do, it's talk.
And he has been telling us for weeks that he was going to do exactly what he's doing now, which is attacking the integrity of the voting process.
Listen. I don't want to see a crooked election.
This election will be the most rigged election in history.
Absentee voting. Great. But this mail in voting, you're never going to know see a crooked election. This election will be the most rigged election in history. Absentee voting, great.
But this mail-in voting, you're never going to know who won the election.
When you do mail-in voting ballots, you're asking for fraud.
Because when that starts happening, you don't have a fair, you have a rigged system.
This is the greatest scam in the history of politics.
This is going to be a fraud like you've never seen.
It's a rigged election.
It's the only way we're going to lose.
Trump's campaign also announced that it would ask for a recount of Wisconsin,
a state that Joe Biden won.
His campaign manager, Trump's campaign manager,
just said that it's irregular.
What's the word, Yee?
Irregular.
No, man.
What is it?
Irregularities?
Irregularities.
There you go.
In several Wisconsin counties without providing specifics.
There is no specifics, bae.
He's just losing.
All right?
Trump is the guy you don't want to play video games with because when he starts losing,
he wants to press reset.
He's the guy playing the three-touchdown rule in Madden, but you're not aware that he's
playing the three-touchdown rule, so when you get up 21-0, he's pressing reset on the
game.
That's not how any of this life thing works. Okay. Now listen to all MAGA supporters. I know you love Trump because he
comes off as gangster. He comes off as the boss of all bosses, but I'm telling you right now
that BDE is GMO. Okay. It's genetically modified. It's not real. And now you see what's behind the
curtain. Nothing. Okay. Because there's nothing gangster about demanding recounts
in places you've already lost and screaming,
stop the count, in states where he's on the road to defeat.
If we stop in the count, we need to stop the fight
and just declare Biden and Harris the winner, okay?
It's just that simple.
And what's sad is Trump knows a lot of his followers are stupid, okay?
I don't want to say stupid.
That's not a good word, okay?
I just heard my daughters talking to me as soon as I said that. Don't say stupid, Daddy. Okay, I'll't want to say stupid. That's not a good word. Okay, I just heard my daughters talking to me as soon as I
said that. Don't say stupid, daddy. Okay, I'll
just say they are easily manipulated.
Okay, prone to taking in misinformation.
Trump feeds off
those of you who allow social
media to do their thinking for them.
But everyone out there
who thinks some cheating is going on because your president
said so and because Trump was on election
night, up on election night in certain places like Michigan,
and then he eventually lost those states,
it's simply because they are doing this thing called counting votes.
Okay?
And when you have 100-plus million mail-in votes to count,
it takes some time.
Everybody is not as fast or as efficient as Chick-fil-A drive-thru workers,
okay? Chick-fil-A drive-thru workers would have gotten this order right and declared Biden the
president by no later than yesterday afternoon, okay? 100 plus mail-in votes, easy work for a
Chick-fil-A drive-thru worker, okay? They would have had those votes in by noon on yesterday,
but everybody is not as good as counting and getting orders right like Chick-fil-A workers.
Therefore, it takes time to count all these votes.
Nobody is cheating, okay?
Just think about it.
If there was 100,000 votes and you count the first 10,000, they lean more Trump.
The next 5,000 lean more Biden.
Then the next 15,000 lean more Trump.
And that's on day one.
But that's only 30,000 votes out of 100,000 counted.
If the next day I count the remaining 70,000 votes and they lean more Biden, then it is
what it is.
That's not cheating.
It's the voting process.
And it's quite a normal process on the day following what?
Voting.
All right.
And that's exactly why Donald Trump wants to stop the count, because the more votes
that are counted, the greater his chances to lose. A hundred and three million people voted early.
Drop on the clues bombs for all.
A hundred and three million people.
OK, I don't care who they voted for.
I'm just happy that they engaged in the voting process.
OK, a hundred and three million people voted early, either by mail or in person, representing
74 percent of the total votes cast in the 2016 presidential election.
If those mail-in votes and absentee ballots were leaning heavily Trump,
do you really think Donald Trump would be complaining right now?
He would be singing the praises of this election, okay?
What a hurt individual Donald Trump is.
Only a hurt person would question the validity of something because it's not working in their favor.
That is the epitome of a hater.
When you think something is whack just because it's not working for you.
So you defecate on the whole process.
This is how I know Trump and his guys stole the election in 2016 because he's acting like a man who cheated on his girl.
And now he's insecure and paranoid because he thinks his girl retaliated by cheating on him.
It's not her, Donald.
It's you.
Trump, let me tell you something that I'm sure you've told Dr. Ben Carson quite a few times.
Nigga, please.
All right?
Let Kathy Griffin give Donald J. Trump the biggest hee-haw.
Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
All right, let's get this thing over with, Arizona and Nevada.
All right.
Okay, that's who we still waiting on?
Yep.
Pennsylvania too, I think, huh?
Come on.
Georgia.
Georgia?
All right, come on.
One of y'all.
Arizona and Nevada, let's get this thing over with.
All right.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time for Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is B from Southern Indiana.
Hey, B.
What's your question for Ye?
Okay, so I have a guy I've been seeing for some years.
He's actually a kid, my kid's father.
He's always saying, you know, I love you.
And, you know, our life is, you know, going forward instead of backwards.
But he's always on his phone texting and always
on these dating sites. I actually
went to his phone and he's
always telling his girls that, you know, I love you
and this and the other. So
I don't want to, like, move
on with somebody else because we have history.
But I also don't want to stay with him
because, you know, of the, I call
it Facebook cheating and
text cheating and stuff.
You don't think he's seen these people in person?
Well, he has, and he got caught, but we was like on a break at the time,
but we got back together, but it's still the same thing.
He's always on his phone texting and all this other crap.
Do you want to live your life going through your man's phone
and catching him doing stuff all the time and being
mad and sad and upset?
I mean, I'm not mad or sad.
It's just when I ask him, he lies about it.
No, he lies about it.
I'm asking him, like,
throwing him to the side a little bit, but
he's still lying about it when I
know it's the truth. So what are your
emotions if you're not upset about it? You're not mad.
You're not sad. You're just... I mean, I love him, but I wish that he would just tell me the truth. When
I ask him something, just don't lie about it. When he asked me something, I'm truthful. Okay.
So the issue is not that he's cheating. It's that he's lying about cheating. Right. So you don't
mind if he's cheating, if he's honest with you about it. I mean, I'm not, don't mind if he's cheating if he's honest with you about it?
I mean, I mind if he's cheating,
but just don't lie about it when I know.
Because there's more than one issue here
because I think you're trying to convince yourself
that you're mad that you're lying,
but it's more than just that.
Eh, kind of, sort of, but, yeah,
the most thing is that he's lying about it
when I actually know that he's doing it.
You know what I'm saying?
Because if you stay with somebody, right, that keeps doing these things and their behavior is not changing, why would they change their behavior?
You know what?
Never thought about it like that.
But he's always saying, you know, I'm doing this.
Well, you know, I'm trying to better myself slowly but surely.
But come on now, you got a good woman on your side.
And you know you're a good woman.
Don't you think you deserve better than that?
I do.
But just like I said, I don't want to have to start over with somebody else,
you know, this late in my life.
It's not even about that.
Sometimes you have to show people how to treat you.
And what you're showing him is that he can continue to lie to you,
he can continue to cheat on you, and you will continue to be there for him.
Oh, never thought about it like that.
And I want you to value yourself more because it feels like,
don't you think you deserve better?
Don't you know you do?
You said you know you're a good woman.
Yes.
He's lying to you all the time.
How can you even trust him?
How can you lay down in bed with somebody that you can't trust,
that is blatantly doing these things,
even though he's been caught multiple times?
You're right. You can't trust that is blatantly doing these things, even though he's been caught multiple times.
You're right.
I guess I just don't want to be that lonely person.
You won't.
You know what?
And and wouldn't you rather?
There's nothing worse than being in a relationship where you're lonely in that relationship.
True that.
Being alone does not equate being lonely just because you're not in a relationship. Sometimes that's when you find
things that inspire you even more.
Sometimes you have to, and I just said this the other
day, clear all that clutter out
so that you can let something
reel in. Pray to the
man. Advice taken.
And sometimes
it takes for you to mean business
for somebody to straighten up. He needs some help.
But he's not going to seek that help because he's getting everything he wants. You're right. So you're not
doing a service to him by enabling his behavior either. Okay. So once I stop everything, just
speak up about it and just go from there. Yes. I think you need to just focus on you. Put yourself
first. Stop putting him first.
All right.
All right, I wish you the best of luck.
I know it's not easy.
All right, thank you.
You're welcome.
I feel bad. That wasn't what you wanted to hear, Yee.
I know.
Ask Yee.
800-585-1051.
If you need relationship advice or any type of advice,
call Yee now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Get some real advice with Antilla Yee. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Here's some real advice with Angela Yee.
It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of
Ask Yee. What line you want to go to, Yee?
Let's do line one. Hello, who's
this? Hi, good morning. This is
Viviana Vita. How are you?
Good morning. Hey, good morning.
What's your question for you?
Okay, so I see that you're, like, a super, like, wonderful, accomplished woman.
And, like, I'm a young 20-something trying to make it by here.
And, like, I was just wondering, like, how do you keep going when you feel like you've done everything right, right?
Like, you check off the bucket bucket list or like the list of accomplishments
like um like a daughter of immigrants i've finished school i'm like maintaining myself on my own but i
still feel like there's something missing like i don't have all the tools that i need so like i'm
trying to i'm in the process of trying to find a mentor right now what advice would you give
somebody who's trying to like solidify a mentor relationship to try to
just like you know keep going and move on to the next step in life especially for like a young
woman of color all right so a few different things i'll say a you have to have some patience with
yourself i know you feel like you've checked these things off the bucket list you've done
everything right sometimes the payoff doesn't come right away or in the way that you expect it
sometimes things happen there's a lot of relationships I have with people that things might not have
come to fruition for two years, three years, sometimes six years.
So just be patient with that and continue to do what it is that you know you
need to be doing and what you're passionate about.
Secondly, when it comes to mentors,
a lot of times you won't have just one mentor.
It'll be several different people that can help you in different fields.
Right.
And as a mentee,
part of your responsibility is to bring some value to that relationship.
Also, it's not just a, I take, I take, I take this advice and this guidance, but you also
have to bring something to the table.
So look at somebody who you admire, somebody who has done something that you're like, that's
dope and send them a personal email.
Also offer some services.
Hey, if you ever need some help with things, I was looking at the way that you wrote this article
and I agree with you on so many different things.
You know what's interesting here?
Something else that's going on
that I think you should cover.
Just things like that
where you can also be useful to somebody
who is a mentor to you
because I think normally when you have a mentor
or somebody that's older than you
and somebody like you in your 20s,
you're very valuable to people
who are trying to figure out
what matters to 20-something-year-olds in this day and age. And so just make, you're very valuable to people who are trying to figure out what matters to 20 something year olds in this day and age.
And so just make sure you're bringing something to the table.
Look at different people who you admire.
Reach out to them.
Send them personal notes, whatever it is.
Even if you want to ask, hey, can we get on a quick Zoom call?
Do you mind?
I just wanted to introduce myself to you.
Whatever it is, that's not going to be something too time consuming because sometimes people ask you to be a mentor and then they don't really hold up
their end of the bargain also.
So also understand that sometimes people
have a lot of different people coming at them.
So don't take it personally
if it's not something that they can do right now.
But maybe not even say a mentor by saying,
if you need some help with anything, let me know.
And that can turn into a mentor relationship.
That's very true.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
Congratulations on your new show. Thank you. Foxo Established with Angela Yee. It's very true. Well, thank you. I appreciate that. Congratulations on your new show.
Thank you. Foxo Established
with Angela Yee. It comes on tonight. I'm really
excited and I know y'all are going to love this first episode.
I appreciate you. No, I appreciate
you. Thank you so much for your advice. You have
a wonderful day, guys. Thank you. I love listening
to you guys. Thank you.
Ask Yee. 800-585-1051
if you need relationship advice or any type
of advice. Now, we got rumors on the way, you?
Yes, and I see that Kiki Palmer had to get somebody together.
She was upset as they were talking about her relationship.
It's a mixed relationship.
She's dating a white guy.
All right, we'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
She's sp filling the tea.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, J Balvin is being very open about his struggle right now with depression and anxiety.
He went on his social media and he told people that, and he said it in Spanish, so I'll translate for you.
He said, I know I've been a bit absent from social media, but like every human being, I've been tested.
In this case, once again, I was dealing with anxiety and a bit of depression.
He said he hasn't been as active online because he didn't want to pretend that everything was fine and perfect.
He said, no, because I'm a human being just like everyone else.
And I'm also fragile and very vulnerable, possibly even more so than many of you.
But he did thank his fans for staying connected
and he said soon this will pass just like
every storm and I'll be on here again
talking more with you all, making jokes
because just acting like it, no,
I'm not up for that. Lean into it. Nothing
wrong with that. That's why I encourage everybody to
invest in their mental wealth all the time.
Go see a therapist. Do what you
gotta do. And Rumi has this great quote, man.
Rumi says, the wound is the place where the light gets in.
The very awareness of your pain is your opportunity to let the light in.
So, you know, when you're going through something, just lean into it, man.
Let that light in.
All right.
And Pastor Carl Lentz, the Hillsong pastor,
and he was also Justin Bieber's spiritual confidant for a period of time, he has been fired from his employment at the Hillsong Church.
Apparently, they said it's because of moral failures in the past.
Not sure what exactly went down.
But the megachurch's founder, Brian Houston, announced this.
He said, today, Hillsong Church East Coast advised our congregation that we have terminated the employment of Pastor Carl Lentz.
This action was not taken lightly and was done in the best interest of everyone, including Pastor Carl.
Pastor Carl is my guy.
You know, Brian Houston is my guy, too.
Both of them have been on Breakfast Club.
But how do you fire a pastor?
That kind of defeats the whole purpose of, like, religion, right?
Isn't religion supposed to be about forgiveness and redemption?
It depends what you do.
I'm sure there's some things
that's fireable
that you just gotta say,
no, he can't be around us.
He can't be part of this church.
I've never heard of a pastor
being fired in my life.
I mean, I grew up Jehovah Witness.
I heard of people
being disfellowshipped,
but I never heard
of somebody being fired.
All this wild stuff
pastors be doing?
Yeah.
Right, well,
he can just go somewhere else
and I'm sure it does happen.
Just date me?
Just go somewhere else?
Because it's not like
he's no longer,
it's not like he's no longer a pastor. It's not like he's gonna be, he can't work somewhere. I'm not it does happen. Just date me? Just go somewhere else? It's not like he's no longer a pastor.
It's not like he can't work somewhere.
I'm not sure what went down, though.
That's a guy.
Sometimes it's not a fit for you to be at a certain place for whatever reason.
Did you call him or text him?
No, he texted me last night.
I mean, we were just texting.
I didn't know anything about this.
I just know he told me he was taking some time off.
Okay.
All wishing the best.
Now, Dunkin', which used to be Dunkin' Donuts,
has sold to the owner
of Arby's, Sonic, and Buffalo Wild Wings
for $11.3 billion.
So the coffee chain and
Baskin Robbins are now being
acquired by Inspire Brands.
I drive by Arby's and I look at the Arby's
sign and I say to myself, who the hell eats
there?
And guess what?
Found out in this room this morning that we have an Arby's eater.
Reveal yourself before I do it for you.
The curly fries are amazing. Yeah, I do the curly fries at Arby's too.
Really?
Yes.
Both of y'all?
Yes.
I just thought it was drum.
Nah, the curly fries are good money at Arby's.
Yes.
Looks like you're in the minority, Charlamagne.
I don't know anybody that eats at Arby's, but clearly it's big with Latinos.
Salute the drama.
I'm not Latino, but the curly fries are good money.
All right.
All right.
Now, Cynthia Bailey, she just recently did Lady Parts.
That's a show with Modern Family Actress Sarah Hyland.
That's exactly what Arby's sandwiches look like.
And she talked about how she actually started using birth control before she even knew what it was.
She said her mom put her on the pill.
Grew up in the South.
My mom didn't really talk to us a lot about sex.
Literally, once we were old enough to start our menstrual cycle, she put us on the pill.
Just straight away.
It was like, no real explanations.
Like, oh, you can have a baby now, so you take this every day.
And honestly, I was on the pill for so long, I didn't even realize I was old enough to get off of it if I wanted to.
I just didn't think that was her way of saying, I don't want you guys to get pregnant.
And had we not gotten on the pill, because we didn't have a lot of information,
I probably would have three or four kids now, and my life would have been very different.
I swear.
Y'all have daughters.
Shut up.
Shut up. Mind your business.
If I find out my wife gave my daughter a birth control pill, I would faint.
Well, it's not a birth control pill.
You got to take them every day.
For real?
Yeah.
Yes.
Oh, I thought you could only take it once and you'd be good.
No.
I'm playing.
Of course I know that.
Oh, you sounded very serious.
I was like, goodness gracious. Yikes. Yeah. That's nothing I want to think about. Next course I know that. Oh, you sounded very serious. I was like, goodness gracious.
Yikes. Yeah.
That's nothing I want to think about. Next story.
Me too. I'm with you.
Well, these are conversations you guys are going to have to have.
No, I don't. We got time.
Yeah, okay.
Kiki Palmer is clapping back
at people because they are criticizing her
interracial relationship. Now, she posted a video
last week. She's kissing a guy.
He's white.
And she put the caption,
rare footage of me in the process of becoming randomly suspicious of someone I trust
because I struggle with distinguishing reality from my crippling anxiety and emotional trauma.
So some people were not happy about that.
And one person said, well, she said, Kiki Palmer was writing about the election.
She said, I see a lot of people living one way but voted another. And a person responded to her and said, well, she said Kiki Palmer was writing about the election. She said, I see a lot of people living one way
but voted another. And a person responded
to her and said, like you?
And Kiki Palmer replied and said she didn't appreciate
her comment. Sorry, sis, I'm not in the mood
for pseudo shade right now.
And the girl said, oh, it's no shade at all,
love. I still rock with you, but you kissing that
colonizer just wasn't the move
in this time right now.
But again, if it's not that, then that's on me.
I'm grown to admit that.
Just tongue kissing a colonizer. Listen, first of all,
that's very racist.
And that's profiling.
Because all white people are not Trump supporters.
Alright? So, come on.
Stop.
Not all white people are racist.
Debatable.
Stop it.
All white people definitely are not
Trump supporters.
So that's just
silly to say that
just because you see
her kissing a white guy.
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
But all right.
Well, that's social media.
I'm Angela Yee
and that is your
rumor report.
Maybe it's just the week
because of the climate
of the week.
You know what I'm saying?
Because it's an election week.
You can't kiss your boyfriend
if he's white.
Maybe not this week.
Maybe you got to wait.
Maybe you got to wait until this magma madness wears off.
Yeah, maybe next week.
All right.
Well, thank you for that rumor.
Do you, Kiki.
All right.
Revolt, thanks to you guys.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next.

Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.

When a train hits a vehicle at a railway crossing, the results are often deadly.
Be cautious at crossings, and if the signals are going,
don't be tempted to try and sneak across the tracks, even if you don't see a train.
Stop.
Trains can't.

Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.

The host of the Holding Court podcast.
You can listen to the Holding Court podcast everywhere you listen to podcasts.
It's available via the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network.
One of my favorite new podcasts, not because I'm biased, but because it really is super informative because the way that Ebony breaks down law is very digestible.
This week's episode, she's actually talking about black men being the new swing voters.
And she's got Biden co-chair Cedric Richmond on.
So check that out.
Yes. And don't forget my first episode, my debut episode of my show Established with Angela Yee is on Fox Soul tonight.
That's going to be at 10 p.m. Eastern.
So make sure y'all check it out.
My first guest is Method Man.
Word.
All right.
Established.
All right.
When we come back, we got the positive notes.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time to get up out of here.
Charlamagne, you got a positive note?
Yes, I do.
And this is for everybody that keeps, you know, refreshing the page online
that gives you the election results.
Everybody that can't turn away from the TV.
I told y'all from the beginning, whatever happens is God's will.
So I want y'all to choose to focus on God, not on the circumstances.
Breakfast Club, bitches!
Y'all finished or or you all done?
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
