Starting point is 00:00:00 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.

Starting point is 00:01:45 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.
Starting point is 00:02:01 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.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Good morning. Oh, there she go. Okay. Charlamagne, what up? Peace to the planet. It's Thursday. Yes, it's Thursday. What's happening?
Starting point is 00:02:38 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?
Starting point is 00:02:47 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.
Starting point is 00:03:00 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
Starting point is 00:03:25 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,
Starting point is 00:03:41 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?
Starting point is 00:03:58 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
Starting point is 00:04:10 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
Starting point is 00:04:24 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.
Starting point is 00:04:36 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?
Starting point is 00:04:50 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.
Starting point is 00:05:06 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.
Starting point is 00:05:21 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.
Starting point is 00:05:37 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.
Starting point is 00:05:50 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.
Starting point is 00:06:09 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.
Starting point is 00:06:42 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.
Starting point is 00:06:51 In the meantime, Donald Trump is suing in three different states. Right now, he's filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia.
Starting point is 00:06:59 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
Starting point is 00:07:33 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
Starting point is 00:08:03 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
Starting point is 00:08:22 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.
Starting point is 00:08:35 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.
Starting point is 00:08:52 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,
Starting point is 00:09:16 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.
Starting point is 00:09:32 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.

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
Starting point is 00:10:20 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?
Starting point is 00:11:05 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.
Starting point is 00:12:43 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.
Starting point is 00:13:17 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:14:24 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.
Starting point is 00:14:36 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.

There's nothing to blackball. There's nothing to blackball, Sean. You don't do anything. What are we blackballing, Sean?

Starting point is 00:16:36 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.
Starting point is 00:16:50 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.
Starting point is 00:17:07 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
Starting point is 00:17:30 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
Starting point is 00:17:56 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.
Starting point is 00:18:13 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.
Starting point is 00:18:22 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.
Starting point is 00:18:42 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.
Starting point is 00:19:02 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.
Starting point is 00:19:13 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.
Starting point is 00:19:28 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.
Starting point is 00:19:40 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,
Starting point is 00:20:00 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.
Starting point is 00:20:11 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
Starting point is 00:20:18 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?
Starting point is 00:20:28 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.
Starting point is 00:20:36 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.
Starting point is 00:21:01 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.
Starting point is 00:21:15 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.
Starting point is 00:21:25 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.
Starting point is 00:21:34 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.
Starting point is 00:21:41 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.
Starting point is 00:21:50 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.
Starting point is 00:22:09 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. Brought to you by NHTSA. Is your country falling apart?
Starting point is 00:22:24 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.

Starting point is 00:23:51 You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
Starting point is 00:24:36 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.
Starting point is 00:25:16 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.
Starting point is 00:26:08 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.
Starting point is 00:26:31 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
Starting point is 00:26:52 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.
Starting point is 00:27:13 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.
Starting point is 00:27:36 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.
Starting point is 00:27:50 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.
Starting point is 00:28:01 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,
Starting point is 00:28:10 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,
Starting point is 00:28:21 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.
Starting point is 00:28:42 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
Starting point is 00:28:55 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
Starting point is 00:29:25 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
Starting point is 00:29:42 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.
Starting point is 00:29:59 Yeah, what's the place called? Greenwich? Yep. I thought it would say Greenwich. No, Greenwich. I heard you say that earlier. Greenwich. Greenwich.
Starting point is 00:30:07 My goodness. All right. Isn't that the Wizard of Oz? Oh, no. Glinda the Good Witch. Never mind. All right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:16 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.
Starting point is 00:30:25 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.
Starting point is 00:30:41 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.
Starting point is 00:31:01 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?
Starting point is 00:31:17 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
Starting point is 00:31:50 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.
Starting point is 00:32:33 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.
Starting point is 00:32:53 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
Starting point is 00:33:04 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.
Starting point is 00:33:31 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.
Starting point is 00:33:42 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.
Starting point is 00:34:28 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
Starting point is 00:35:01 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.
Starting point is 00:35:32 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.
Starting point is 00:35:57 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.
Starting point is 00:36:19 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.
Starting point is 00:36:42 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,
Starting point is 00:37:05 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.
Starting point is 00:37:44 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,
Starting point is 00:38:11 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
Starting point is 00:38:36 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.
Starting point is 00:38:58 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.
Starting point is 00:39:33 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
Starting point is 00:40:12 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
Starting point is 00:40:42 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,
Starting point is 00:41:15 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
Starting point is 00:41:39 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?
Starting point is 00:42:07 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.
Starting point is 00:42:36 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.
Starting point is 00:42:57 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.
Starting point is 00:43:28 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
Starting point is 00:43:55 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.
Starting point is 00:44:26 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.
Starting point is 00:44:41 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.
Starting point is 00:45:12 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
Starting point is 00:45:58 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
Starting point is 00:46:19 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.
Starting point is 00:46:48 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,
Starting point is 00:47:05 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
Starting point is 00:47:21 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?
Starting point is 00:47:49 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.
Starting point is 00:48:02 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.
Starting point is 00:48:19 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.
Starting point is 00:48:30 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.
Starting point is 00:48:44 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.
Starting point is 00:48:59 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
Starting point is 00:49:13 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
Starting point is 00:49:30 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.
Starting point is 00:49:45 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.
Starting point is 00:50:01 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
Starting point is 00:50:14 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.
Starting point is 00:50:30 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.
Starting point is 00:50:40 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.
Starting point is 00:50:57 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.
Starting point is 00:51:09 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.
Starting point is 00:51:25 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,
Starting point is 00:51:41 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
Starting point is 00:51:59 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.
Starting point is 00:52:22 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.
Starting point is 00:52:41 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
Starting point is 00:52:59 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
Starting point is 00:53:22 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.
Starting point is 00:53:46 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
Starting point is 00:54:08 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
Starting point is 00:54:24 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.
Starting point is 00:54:39 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.
Starting point is 00:55:05 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,
Starting point is 00:55:22 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
Starting point is 00:55:37 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,
Starting point is 00:55:53 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,
Starting point is 00:56:26 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
Starting point is 00:56:33 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,
Starting point is 00:56:40 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.
Starting point is 00:56:52 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.
Starting point is 00:57:07 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.
Starting point is 00:57:25 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.
Starting point is 00:57:55 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.
Starting point is 00:58:14 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.
Starting point is 00:58:37 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
Starting point is 00:58:53 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.
Starting point is 00:59:15 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.
Starting point is 00:59:57 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.
Starting point is 01:00:25 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.
Starting point is 01:00:40 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.
Starting point is 01:00:50 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
Starting point is 01:01:13 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?
Starting point is 01:01:41 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
Starting point is 01:01:55 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?
Starting point is 01:02:15 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.
Starting point is 01:02:49 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
Starting point is 01:03:07 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.
Starting point is 01:03:29 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?
Starting point is 01:03:54 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.
Starting point is 01:04:29 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.
Starting point is 01:04:48 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.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Georgia? All right, come on. One of y'all. Arizona and Nevada, let's get this thing over with. All right. Okay? Thank you for that donkey. Up next, Ask Ye. 800-585-1051
Starting point is 01:05:07 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice. Hit Ye right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What, what, what, what, what, what you wanna know? Baby mama issues? Needs some words of wisdom? Call up now for Ask Ye. 800-585-1051 The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Come on, Mom. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Yee. Eat the bread. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 01:05:40 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.
Starting point is 01:05:56 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
Starting point is 01:06:16 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.
Starting point is 01:06:36 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,
Starting point is 01:06:56 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?
Starting point is 01:07:25 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
Starting point is 01:07:42 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.
Starting point is 01:08:03 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,
Starting point is 01:08:19 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.
Starting point is 01:08:36 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.
Starting point is 01:08:51 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
Starting point is 01:09:11 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
Starting point is 01:09:36 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.
Starting point is 01:09:54 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.
Starting point is 01:10:07 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?
Starting point is 01:10:24 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
Starting point is 01:10:56 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.
Starting point is 01:11:30 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.
Starting point is 01:11:47 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?
Starting point is 01:12:10 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,
Starting point is 01:12:21 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?
Starting point is 01:12:36 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.
Starting point is 01:12:55 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
Starting point is 01:13:08 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
Starting point is 01:13:24 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.
Starting point is 01:13:39 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.
Starting point is 01:14:19 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
Starting point is 01:14:38 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.
Starting point is 01:14:58 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.
Starting point is 01:15:31 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
Starting point is 01:15:45 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
Starting point is 01:15:52 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
Starting point is 01:15:59 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.
Starting point is 01:16:10 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.
Starting point is 01:16:24 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.
Starting point is 01:16:40 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?
Starting point is 01:16:56 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.
Starting point is 01:17:07 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.
Starting point is 01:17:26 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.
Starting point is 01:17:48 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.
Starting point is 01:18:12 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.
Starting point is 01:18:20 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.
Starting point is 01:18:36 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
Starting point is 01:18:52 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
Starting point is 01:19:13 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,
Starting point is 01:19:29 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.
Starting point is 01:19:43 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.
Starting point is 01:19:54 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?
Starting point is 01:20:01 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.
Starting point is 01:20:13 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. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Starting point is 01:22:12 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.
