He was like, whoa, you're just going to leave? Yes, I have to catch a flight, Wale, but shout out to Wale. His project's out right now, so we're going to kick it with Wale in a little bit. But we got front page news.

What are we talking about? Yes, and I'm sure over the weekend you saw this viral video of a Popeyes with a whole slew of rats running around. What state was that? They were climbing. Was that New York? No, that was in D.C.

That wasn't New York? Those look like New York rats, the way those rats look. Those rats were huge. I thought they were squirrels. Goodness gracious. All right, we'll talk about it. We'll be back. Charlamagne will be in there in New York. Those look like New York rats, the way those rats look. Those rats were huge. I thought they were squirrels. Goodness gracious. All right, we'll talk about it. We'll be back. Charlemagne will be in there in a second.

There's an accident and he has to get around. So he said there'll be a little bit of traffic, but he'll get in a second. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. Happy Monday. Happy Monday.

Clearly, I've had my coffee already this morning. I see. Well, let's get in some front page news. Happy Monday! Happy Monday. Clearly I've had my coffee already this morning. I see. Well, let's get in some front page news. Now, World Series Major League Baseball. All right. The Astros beat the Braves 9-5. The Braves lead the series 3-2.

And then football. All right. A lot of scores. Let's go through them. All right. The Titans beat the Colts. The Jets beat the Bengals. Eagles beat the Lions. 49ers beat the Bears.

Seahawks beat the Jaguars. The Broncos beat Washington team. The Cowboys beat the Vikings. The Eagles beat the Lions. 49ers beat the Bears. Seahawks beat the Jaguars. The Broncos beat Washington team. The Cowboys beat the Vikings. The Saints beat the Buccaneers. The Patriots beat the Chargers. The Rams beat the Texans. The Steelers beat the Browns. The Bills beat the Dolphins.

The Panthers beat the Falcons. And in Monday Night Football, the Giants tonight take on the Chiefs. Now, what else we got easy? You know, it's about the Nets beating the Pistons. Okay. Well, we usually don't do basketball until the playoffs. I was just going to say that. It was an interesting game.

If that's the case, we got to say the Knicks have been busting ass. I think their record is 5-1. But go ahead. All right. Now, Popeye's near Eastern Market in D.C. was shut down. This went viral. Actually, a Popeye's delivery man showed a TikTok video of how absolutely filthy this Popeyes is. I deliver all raw chicken to all the Popeyes in the D.C. area.

It's this joint right here. Look at that chicken from Popeyes. Look. Goddamn. You still love that chicken from Popeyes? Because these motherfuckers is in here. You seen them all them times? About 15 in the month.

That was disgusting. That was nasty. First of all, I don't even know how he was able to walk in there with all of those rats in there. They were just coming out everywhere. They was climbing up the pipes, climbing up the wall. That was disgusting. That was so disgusting. But that Popeye's has been shut down for health code violations.

Duh. Indefinitely. My goodness, that's nasty. They need to shut down some of these food carts in New York City. Because I'm sure if you open up some of these food carts, you'll see mice and rats running out them as well. Well, you ever see where they store those food carts at night? It's not looking good, man. It's disgusting.

It's like a driveway or a parking lot where they have all of them. And there's definitely rats running around all over in there. All right. Now, Joe Biden's job rating has sunk to 42%. So they're saying a majority of Americans disapprove of Joe Biden's job performance. They said 71% of Americans say the country is headed in the wrong direction, according to polls. They said what people voted for was stability and calm, and what they got was instability and chaos.

I saw Joe Biden said he doesn't do it for that, though, for polls. He's trying to do his job. So I don't know. But they're saying this isn't good because, as you know, people are getting ready to vote. And so right now, actually tomorrow, there's a lot of really important mayoral elections that we should be paying attention to. So I just want to encourage people to make sure you get out and vote. Tomorrow is the deadline for people who are voting in their local campaign. Now, he said he doesn't do it for the people, but shouldn't he do it for the people?

Well, he said he doesn't do it for the polls. Shouldn't he make America happy? For approval ratings. Well, that's making America happy, right? You're supposed to be there for the people. And if the majority of the people don't like what you're doing, that's a problem. Definitely is a problem. So he's going to have to figure out what to do, because, I mean, there's a lot going on when it comes to covid. I mean, just so many different things. They feel like the country is headed into the wrong direction.

And so that has taken a toll on the party. Democrats are trailing Republicans on which party better handles the economy, inflation, immigration. And they've lost ground on issues like education and the coronavirus. So, you know, that all gets reflected as we vote. So he's going to have to not ruin things for himself and for the country, more importantly. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Now get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Let us know how your weekend was, if it was good, if it was bad. Whatever it may be, 800-585-1051. And I know Halloween was for a lot of people. A lot of you went out and partied. A lot of you took the kids trick-or-treating. Whatever it may be, call us up. I saw some fascinating costumes. If you had a great costume, tag us in it so we can post it in our stories.

Absolutely. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

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.

You know what I'm saying? I had a great weekend. You know, happy Halloween, you know, to everybody. I dressed up my dogs or whatever. I got a shepherd and a pit bull. Okay. I got a shepherd, too. Yep.

Yeah. So, one thing you say, Evie, somebody bring a pit bull to your show. You know, stop shaming pit bull. Okay. I got a shepherd too. Yep. Yeah. So, one thing you say, if somebody brought a pit bull to your show, you know, stop shaming pit bulls, man. Ooh, you're right. They be so loving,

you know what I mean? And there's so many other aggressive dogs out there like chihuahuas, you know what I'm saying? They just throw ankle biters, you know what I mean?

Yeah, you're right. A chihuahua way more dangerous than a pit bull. But the person didn't bring a chihuahua. If you'd have bought a chihuahua, we'd have asked him to leave too. You can't bring any dogs to a car show where there's a bunch of kids and you never know what's going to happen.

That's for me. That's my insurance. That's for dogs. Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to do that. But you know what I'm saying? Pit bulls are the most loving dogs in the world, bro. It did sound like you had a problem with pit bulls.

I'm not going to lie. No, it didn't. The guy bought a pit bull. If the guy would have brought a poodle. You feel me? Yeah. If the guy would have bought a poodle, we'd have asked guy would have brought a poodle, we'd ask him to leave. There's no dogs around.

I don't know. You're going to stop pit bull shaming. You better stop. Nah, nah. It's just that pit bull shaming. Y'all, I mean, just put it out there. You know what I'm saying? You know, they loving.

They just want some love, attention, and just to play around. We're going to have a bunch of pit bulls outside protesting. People protest for everything now. I want to say it is like this. Like, when it comes down to, you know, these breeds or whatever and pit bulls was a race,

they'll be black people. I'm going to keep it real. Damn. That's how they treat them. I don't know, Envy. Thank you, mama. Salute to all the pit bulls out there.

Facts, facts, facts. And the truck drivers out there too, you know what I'm saying? Did you just mock a pit bull? I shouted them out.

Like, why can't you be a good boy like 50 Cent, Ludacris, and Rich Montana? Well, first of all, we're not going to judge them until we find out what happened. We don't know what happened. People get arrested every day and have false charges. So we don't necessarily know what happened. So before we say we're disappointed and we're not going to judge them until we find out what happened. We don't know what happened. People get arrested every day and have false charges. So we don't necessarily know what happened.

So before we say we're disappointed and we're upset, let's see what happens first. Well, this is not police. FBI's a serious matter. FBI could get things wrong as well. We've seen that before. So we don't know what happened. So before we say we're disappointed, let's find out what happened first. Hello?

Okay.

That's just what it is down there. I'm clear. Yeah, when you see that many rats in one place, it means they're probably all over. They are.

They're all over, Angelina. I promise you. Like, it was like a pizza store a few years ago that went viral like that in D.C. It's just downtown. They need to do something about it. Yeah, that definitely is an indication. Because, look, it's pretty bad in Brooklyn, too. I'm not going to lie. The other day I was going to get in my car.

I turned my car and a rat ran from under my car. I almost died. Oh, my goodness. Ooh, girl, look. When I'm in D.C., my homegirl, she always be, like, not looking on the ground. She be like, oh, my God, a rat. I'm like, girl, they all over. What do we do? It is tough,

man. They gotta figure something out. They gotta do the rat poisoning. I don't know what to do in the neighborhood, but it's bad. I don't know. They gotta do something, but I'm sending healing energy. I'm mad that Charlamagne is not on me right now. He'll be here in a second. Well, send him some healing energy for the traffic he's in.

Yes, I'm sending, well, you know what? He's always sending people healing energy, so traffic he's in. Yes, I'm sending, well, you know what? He's always sending people healing energy, so I'm going to send him healing energy and positive energy this morning, so thank you.

I never know what you're going to do with my order. Nothing. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now we got rumors on the way? Man, imagine turning down all this money.

We'll tell you who walked away from $9 million for a movie and another person who turned down $29 million for a movie. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it.

On The Breakfast Club. Listen up. Well, Ice Cube walked away from $9 million for this Oh Hell No movie project. I guess he said oh hell no when they asked him to get vaccinated. That was part of the film's vaccine mandate and according to unidentified

sources close to the situation, they told the Hollywood reporter that he refused to fulfill that request. So therefore, it wasn't worth it to him, that $9 million. He's doing what's best for him. He doesn't feel like he wants to take the vaccine, so he won't take it and he won't get that bread. But Ice Cube is fine.

All right, now, Will Ferrell also turned down $29 million for Elf 2. It's not over a vaccine, though. According to an interview that he did with The Hollywood Reporter, he said the script was written, but he couldn't get over the rehashed premise. He said, I would have had to promote the movie from an honest place, which would have been like, oh, no, it's not good. I just couldn't turn over the rehash premise. He said, I would have had to promote the movie from an honest place, which would have been like, oh no, it's not good. I just couldn't turn down that much money. And I thought, can I actually say those words?

I don't think I can. So I guess I can't do the movie. I wonder in that instance, why he couldn't, you know, rewrite the script or rewrite the parts he didn't like. I don't know. Maybe this is just what the script is. They gave it to him and he thought about it. And he said that.

It must've been real horrible to turn down $29 million. He also said during filming Elf he thought it could be the end of his career. And Elf was good.

A lot of people loved Elf. That's what I'm surprised. $29 million. You know, you changed the script. I'm sure the directors would be like, hey, let's work on this.

I don't like it. I didn't think it was funny. But he did say that he doesn't regret doing Anchorman 2. He thought it was a sequel worth having. Okay. Alright, now

a lot of people have been testing positive for COVID. So amongst those people, Ari Lennox had to cancel her Houston show after revealing that she has COVID. So she said, due to unforeseen circumstances with my health, I won't be able to perform at the Good Vibes Only Festival in Houston this weekend. It truly breaks my heart.

And I hope I can make it up to you all in the festival soon. Then she said, COVID plus anxiety is hell. It's hard to view it as a vacation when it's taken so many lives and hurt so many people. I just can't view it like that. It's just constant paranoia. Then she added, this is wild, lonely, and wild. 2021 is one hell of a year.

Wow. All right, other people who recently have tested positive, Jason Momoa caught COVID while filming the Aquaman sequel. is one hell of a year. Wow. All right, other people who recently have tested positive. Jason Momoa caught COVID while filming the Aquaman sequel. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Singer Jon Bon Jovi had to cancel a concert after testing positive for COVID-19. It was before a Saturday performance. Also, Jen Psaki, the White House press secretary,

she also tested positive for COVID. The last time she saw Joe Biden was last Tuesday. Khloe Kardashian and her daughter, True, have also tested positive for COVID. The last time she saw Joe Biden was last Tuesday. Khloe Kardashian and her daughter, True, have also tested positive. She posted, hi, guys. I want to let you know True and I tested positive for COVID. I've had to cancel several commitments, and I'm sorry I won't be able to make those happen.

Luckily, I've been vaccinated, so all will be okay. We'll be over here in quarantine and following current guidelines. Wow. That's a lot of people. What up, Charlamagne? Yo. That's a lot of people. What up, Charlamagne? Yo. That's a lot of people that just recently got COVID.

All right. But isn't this going to be like the norm? So eventually it's going to be like us announcing people who got the flu? I would hope not. Well, they say it is. They say COVID is going to be with us forever. Like, yeah. They'll keep mutating.

All right. Now, Nicki Minaj, the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion trailer is here. And people are already saying it's going to be one of the best reunions of the whole series. I mean, Nicki Minaj is on it. Here's the trailer. It's private. Giselle, secret love. Ooh, what the hell?

You ain't love your brush milk down there. This class of drama that you can get the more camera time, Giselle. No, no, no. Eddie was following a bunch of booty models. No, wrong. We not get away with that nonsense today, baby. Chris, did you try and holler at me? That's a straight up lie.

Shut up. Lies from the pits of hell. I'm insecure. When you hear lying, you talk about he tossed your salad. He tossed your salad. You're a nasty hood rat. I'm a hood rat? Yes.

Okay, your mama. And so this season six reunion kicks off on Sunday at 8 p.m. on Bravo. And what, Nicki's hosting it? Yes. Oh, salute to Nicki Minaj. You didn't see all that happening when she was saying how much she loved it? I saw that, but I didn't know that that got official and she actually did it. Yeah, they already been filmed it.

Okay. Well, salute to Giselle and Robyn too. Make sure you catch the Reasonably Shady podcast on the Black Effect Podcast Network. All right, and Meek Mill has accused a flight attendant of racism. He said that, and he had the video to show it all, while he just had been on the plane for 30 seconds, and

the pilot, or whoever he is, the flight attendant, comes over to ask him if he was smoking on the plane. We were smoking on the plane. We just came on here 30 seconds ago. Because I smell it. But where we going to smoke it. We just came on here 30 seconds ago. Because I smell it. But where we going to smoke it if we just stepped on here 30 seconds ago?

Just look. Where would a blunt be rolled up at? I'm sorry. I'm going to try and fix this problem. Go ahead. Let us get off the plane. Just let us all feel safe on this plane anyway. Okay.

Yeah, come on. Totally up to you. Let's open the door. Okay. You acting real racist right now. Sheesh. But what if they all smelled like weed? Right, but they weren't smoking.

They just stepped on the plane. I know, but it's a valid question to ask if they all smell like weed. They could say, I mean, so what? What can you do about that? Nothing. If you're not smoking on the plane. Like, no, we weren't smoking. Right.

I wouldn't necessarily jump to racism. Well, that's the problem when people, when we charter jets. When you charter somebody else's jet, it's their rules, their regulations. When you have your own jet, you can do whatever the hell you want. But everybody charters jets, and nine times out of ten, they'll be like, please, no smoking. Please keep your foot off the furniture, whatever it may be. Yeah, and if I knew that me and my guys were smoking weed

and probably smelled like weed, I wouldn't have made that big of a deal about it. I was like, no, we weren't smoking. We're not smoking on the plane. I guess his point was we just stepped on the plane. How have we just started smoking? Like, you see us walk on here. You see we just sat down a few seconds ago. I totally agree.

I think he said you smelled like weed. That's what the pilot said. No, he said, have you been smoking? No, the pilot said I smell weed. The pilot said I smell it. Play it again? Play it from the beginning? Yeah, the pilot said I smell it.

I think he said so. We were smoking on a plane. We just came on here 30 seconds ago. Because I smell it. But where are we going to smoke plane. We just came on here 30 seconds ago. Because I smell it. But where we going to smoke it if we just stepped on here 30 seconds ago? Just look. Where would a blunt be rolled up at? I'm sorry.

I'm going to try and fix this problem. Let us get off the plane. Because I don't feel safe on this plane anyway. But he also said, I smell it. He said, you smoke it. He said, how out of me smoke it? He said, because I smell it. Yeah, so he jumped to conclusions.

Okay. Now, let's talk about Kim Kardashian West. Over the Halloween weekend, she was spotted with Pete Davidson on a ride, holding hands. But it's because she was scared on the ride.

All right, Titans beat the Colts. The Jets beat the Bengals. The Eagles beat the Lions. 49ers beat the Bears.

Seahawks beat the Jaguars. The Broncos beat the Washington team. The Saints beat the Buccaneers. The Patriots beat the Chargers. The Rams beat the Texans. Steelers beat the Browns.

All right? No. Save it at. No. Cowboys beat the Vikings without our starting quarterback, Dak Prescott. Very important to note that. Okay? And in Monday Night Football, the Giants take on the Chiefs.

Oh, my God. Jesus Christ. 73-9 will be the final score in that game. Even though the Chiefs aren't amazing this year, but 73-9. My Giants will win that one. All right. What else we got, Yeezy? You want to bet something on that?

Well, let's talk about Alpo Martinez. Now, he was a drug kingpin. He was portrayed by Cameron and paid in full. He was killed in a drive-by shooting. He was sitting in his 2017 Dodge Ram

at 147th Street and Frederick Douglas Boulevard around 3.30 a.m. He was shot five times, according to the police on Sunday morning. His last known address was in Maine.

He did get rushed to the Harlem Hospital, but unfortunately, they could not save him. According to a high-ranking police source, they told the New York Post that Alpo Martinez was in danger as soon as he returned to his old stomping ground. The source said you were in the witness protection program because you testified against other drug dealers. You make a lot of enemies who have a score to settle when you return to the same area where we'll get out very fast. He's back in the zone.

The source said that Alberto Alpar Martinez's vehicle had paper plates from Texas. It wasn't clear if he had left the witness protection early entirely or if he was just back for a visit. But they did have photos from that scene with bullets in his red truck. They said it seems pretty intentional when you shoot somebody five times. So our condolences go out to his family. He was 55 years old.

Well, I mean, this is very very intriguing because I mean, what would make him think he could go back? Like, why would he want to? Well, he's been back to Harlem since he was released. Oh, he was? He was released in 2015. He served a 35-year sentence. He's been back and forth. So he was in witness protection though? Yeah, he was. Not in Harlem. He served a 35-year sentence. He's been back and forth. So he was in witness protection, though?

Yeah, he was. Not in Harlem. He said his last known address was in Maine. So I don't know if they... But they're not supposed to tell you when someone's in witness protection. There's been pictures of him in Harlem before. Alright, a Chinese millionaire is talking about how he withdrew

$780,000 cash at the bank because they were rude to him, and he made them count the money by hand. So the man's name is only known as Sunware, and he said he did that. The security guards had a terrible attitude. He said he took out the maximum he could withdraw in one day,

and he plans to take out the rest of his tens of millions to transfer to other banks. So we don't know if he's going to go back there to withdraw the rest of his money. But he said he asked the bank to count his cash by hand in case it fell short. It took a couple of bank tellers over two hours to count that money. That's my type of petty. I know it is. Don't be rude to people when you're rude to people.

Okay, I got something for you. Now you're going to work today. Your hands are going to hurt. I ain't mad at them. And I'm taking all my money out. And I'm taking all my money out. And I'm taking all my money out. Yep. Alright. Well, that is your Front Page News. Alright. Now, when we

come back Friday, we kicked it with Wale. So we're going to get that on today. So don't move. I believe that was Thursday. Oh, Thursday. Yeah, Thursday. Because I missed my flight Thursday after this. Yeah, I had to leave early, so I didn't miss my flight. So, we're going to kick it with Wale when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Hi, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our brother, our friend in the building. Yes. For Lauren. Wale! Did they pay you for this? That's Envy's. Oh, wow. No wonder you have all these cards. Stop it, man. So, how have you been? I blush like that, too,

if I was a light-skinned a** with that many cars. Stop it, man. How have you been during the pandemic? Light-skinned a** with all the cars. They go Drake, Envy. Chris Brown. Chris Brown, and then, like, nobody, for real. How many cars do you have?

Too many. Now, let's talk about you, Wale, though. You're not letting me get away with this. I'm just asking how you were during the pandemic. He actually had COVID and pneumonia. I was wondering about how many cars you had. You was posting. You had COVID and pneumonia. You was wondering about how many calls you had. You was posting. All right.

You had COVID and pneumonia. You were actually in the hospital. That must have been scary. That shit, it feel like you don't got no control over nothing. I remember when I was in denial. I was like, yeah, I got COVID, but I'm just going to stay in the house, blah, blah, blah. And then it was getting worse. And then I put the little oxygenator.

To see how the oxygen is. And it was so low. And I like I gotta go I'm like I can't breathe I remember being there and I remember like you know anxiety like how we deal with it it was another version thought she was gonna die it was just a it was like I remember it was they would take my blood and the lady couldn't find my veins and all this other stuff and I just remember I passed out from anxiety, like just that alone. I passed out and then I just woke back up and I was just like, wow, like I'm really, and I was really just like regular like three days ago.

And then I just realized how serious that s*** is. I had to beg them to let me go home because I was like, man, I can be on bed rest in the crib, but just being in there, dolo, nobody can come in. That's right. Who's the first person you called to let them know? Because I know you didn't want to worry. I didn't on bedrest in the crib, but just being in there dolo, nobody can come in. That's right. Who's the first person you called to let them know? Because I know you didn't want to worry. I didn't want to call my mother. I did not want to call my mother. Nobody in my immediate family

until I was back on track. Wow, you needed them prayers, man. Why not have mama pray? I know she'd just be worried. You didn't want your mom to be stressed out. Yeah, I just knew I'd get through it. I didn't really call that many people, man. Yeah, I just knew I'd get through it. You know what I'm saying? Like, but I didn't really call that many people, man.

Not many people knew. I was talking to God a lot, though. That's why I keep saying gratitude. Like, you know, forget the music shit. Like, just like being able to do what I love and just, like, be able to breathe. You know what I'm saying? That's a blessing in itself. Well, let's talk about that.

Do you have any after effects? The main thing with me is the COVID fog. That shit is real like that. That's what D.L. Hughley talked about. You'd be like doing something and be like, what the fuck was I doing? What was I saying? I feel like you smoked too much or something like that. And then for me, because I have anxiety and stuff,

everything was heightened. Right. So my first time going out everything felt super bright everybody felt like they was talking too fast you know my heart rate was going up my my palms were sweaty and then i remember having to do rolling loud and i had to breathe because i was like everything was it was so loud it was so it was so much and i was like my third time being like out out since you know i beat the joint so you know that covid fog and that that post-covid anxiety is like it's crazy bro it's crazy i still feel like i still have a little

remnants of that of like just like you know how you got it you know were you outside was it in the studio performance do you know enough man me and my man sean dickinson we have a running joke about it because i won't say her name but it it's like an A-list actress, like an OG that was around us that day, the day before. And we'd just be like, yo, you know. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, who knows?

I don't know. I was outside a lot around that time because it was around right before the 4th of July or whatever. Let's talk about gratitude because that's one thing I always said about Wale. Wale's dope. He has a lot of success, but I don't know if he appreciates where he is in the game.

Right. Because you might be comparing yourself to too many other people. Right. You should. So are you over that now? Do you finally appreciate

who and what you are? I've never felt like I was ungrateful, but I always knew where I was at. I knew what my talent level is you know what i'm saying but i think i've kind of let a lot of that go because it's just like you know what i can't make certain people like me it's unfortunate that some people are

still harping on tire narratives and all that but i can't i've done all i can do let it be what it's going to be and sell out your tour and have fun. It's like, shoot, I can't spend the rest of my life just being like, yo, you know, it's frustrating, but what am I going to do? What am I going to do? And what about with relationships? I know we always talk about that. And on the song Dearly Beloved,

you do take responsibility for not being ready to be in a relationship. So do you feel like you're still in that space? Do you feel like you're still not ready? I just got a great imagination. What would that mean? It's just music. I just be telling stories, man.

Us, it's not about you. Interpret it how you want to interpret it. Oh, so you're not keeping it real in the music? No, it's real. No. Somebody felt it. I felt it. It's real emotions.

This might not be a real story. Or I'm just really good at spinning the and y'all bring it up. No, but seriously. First of all, every time you do an interview, all these girls tweet me like, tell Wale I want to date him. I'm available. Why don't you sort them out and then text me?

I'm very busy, Wale. I'm not gonna talk through all these women tweeting me. There you go. You answered it for me. I'm very busy Wale. I'm not gonna talk to all these women tweeting me. There you go. You answered it for me. I'm very busy. I mean if you want me to. Yeah I'll set you up on a blind date. Let's do that. Last time he was up here did he say he failed

somebody that he thought that could possibly be the one? Nah we was just joking. Y'all love the first record on the album right? New Balances. Tell us what the song is but also what does New Balances mean to DC? It's a metaphor obviously like you know same old city New Balances. New Balances. Tell us what the song is, but also what does New Balances mean to DC? I mean, it's a metaphor, obviously. Like, you know, same old city, New Balances.

Yep. You know, I take a win, I take a loss. Revenue good, but my legacy not. They on the fence while I'm on the charts. Talk with my money and speak with my heart. I'm basically saying, like, I'm just trying to make sure my legacy is where it's going to be. Like, my trajectory is still going. Where it's going to be win, lose, or draw,

I'm always going to keep trying to strive. You know what I'm saying? And what does New Balance mean to D.C. as far as sneaker culture? It's a debatable conversation. Why? I see you getting a lot of those lately. Because they say D.C. might have started New Balances,

but Baltimore might have started it. No, not New York. No, New York didn't start New Balances. Yeah. We have started it. No, not New York. New York did start New Balances. We did Nike ACGs. That's what Jim Jones was on you about. But you know, he's just having fun. He's just having fun on the internet.

You think so? Them ACG boots early. Y'all do the sweatpants and the Timberlands and the funny socks. Now you put Timberlands on us? No, no. Y'all do the sweatpants and the Timberlands and the funny socks. Now you put Timberlands on us? No, no. Y'all didn't start them. That's wild. What do you mean? I thought ACG

was DC. Tim's definitely New York. I said that's what y'all wear. I didn't say y'all started that. Y'all started a new balance. Harlem did the Pink Timbs and all of that. That was good. That was a good vibe. Wu-Tang did the Super Timbs, all that, but the ACG... The Super Timbs. 40 Below. The Drunks right here. No, that was good that was a good vibe everything we tainted the super tims all that but the acgs super tims 40 below the joints right here no that was tight no that's right i like what y'all call them

but we know we want him soon we still everybody wear tims actually i should be prouder for timberlands they went more nationwide. We was doing phones. You know what I'm saying? We was doing Nike boots. That was our blend. I know it's such a small place. It's like, how could these people that live so close to the president be influential?

Y'all did the New Balance. Y'all have more rappers. Y'all have more visibility. I had Nike boots in 10th grade, bro. That wasn't a thing. We all did. No, you nobody. You can't wear Timbs in the rain.

Or in the snow. Exactly. But y'all weren't in job interviews. You can't wear Timbs in the rain. You can't wear Timbs in the snow. People were wearing Timberlands with the tuxedo. On the beach. Yeah. No one was going to the pool with the Timbs on with no socks.

This all good. No, not a lot. Man, listen. Harlem, Brooklyn and Harlem have a lot to do with style and hip hop. And the Bronx. That's right. A lot. The whole blend.

Y'all a whole jump, man. But Nike Boots was always DC. I mean, God damn, you came out with a song in 07. Fitted hats, y'all got that. You got that. Jerseys. You did that. Y'all did that.

Yeah, yeah. Y'all can't have everything, man. You don't want everything. I want Nike Boots, too. We started that. No, man. That was us, man. We ain't really, you know what I'm saying? We started Go-Go, too. We started that. No, man. That was us, man. We ain't really, you know what I'm saying?

We started Go-Go, too. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Go-Go started in Brooklyn. You didn't know that. Harlem or Queens. One of them joints. All right, we got more Wale.

When we come back, let's get into a joint right now. It's called Poke Out. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wale. Wale is here. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Wale. Charlamagne? I know you and Cole are, like, cool, but did y'all get cooler after he put that record out? I mean, Cole can't even get no cooler. We had to. Until the whole album come out.

Yeah, we like this regardless. I feel like in a lot of ways we polar opposites, but we like this, though. I talked to him yesterday. A record ain't going to move the needle on our relationship. We really friends like that. But that's what I like about you. That's what I like about me. To me, that's a real relationship. When you can have

when the relationship fluctuates. You know what I mean? Y'all always friends, but y'all might have some issues. Yeah. Well, I don't think me and Kobe really had issues ever, for real. You think so? I mean, if you do a whole... I'm not going to say an issue, but if you do a whole verse about somebody, that person is definitely on your mind.

And to release it publicly. Who did that? Cole. I mean, he said it wasn't. All right, come on. I don't believe that. All right, well. But I mean, I got to take him at his word, right?

Got to take him at his word. Why that single, though? Why poke it out for the people would think you and Cole would be awesome like lyrical socially conscious why you do that why you do that yeah you know we went with the vibe when we used to be around each other every day we used to have fun all the time Colby and Cole used to be at the back of the club with that's when we was big Hennessy man like we used to be off off to just be drinking Hennessy all night and just be partying all night.

So, it's just like, it felt like that a little bit. You know what I'm saying? I hope you guys are playing it over here like six, seven times a day. Aren't you guys syndicated or something? It's actually on the countdown already. Well, it was number two. Yeah, it's already on the countdown. It was number one most added twice in the week.

Before we went for ads, it was number one most added. So, you know, it's doing really, really well. And I'm grateful that everybody's receiving it. number one most added. So, you know, it's doing really, really well. And I'm grateful that everybody's receiving it. You always have hits. Yeah, I agree. I feel like... He does.

But you gotta talk like that. That's why I like when I hear you say you feel like you're one of the greatest rappers of all time. How else you supposed to feel? I mean, that's true.

But it's like some people not really ready to accept it. It's fine. You know what I mean? I am. I feel like it's a class. Your class. It's respect season

for two people in particular. You and Cudi. Okay. Meaning like now's the time for y'all to get y'all just due. What am I missing something?

No. I mean I'm just listening to your opinion. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

You and Cudi cool right? Okay. Okay. I got I got I don't have no hatred in my heart for nobody. Right, but that don't necessarily mean y'all cool, so. What is cool? What does cool mean to y'all? You guys speak.

So you guys speak to somebody to be cool? Nah, I don't agree with that. So let's see what. I do if we cool. Let's see, let's see what cool means to y'all. Yeah, you ain't got to be friends, but cool. Like, you know, if you see them, run into them, speak to them, maybe check in, send a text. I don't think we in the same circles.

Yeah. So it's cool. That's fine. It's not an issue. I don't got no issues. I don't have no issues with anybody. That's what I'm saying. Now, what was the intention with Falarin 2?

Say everything with my chest. I mean, wow, that's crazy. I just, you know, I was really vulnerable. At the end of your vulnerability is there's a light. Falarin 2 is my light. The Lord choose my light. Is Wale happy right now? Man, we do this joint every time. Is this, man, y'all say I look happy.

Every time I come here, it's like I'm happier and happier, man. He was asking you, are you happy? I said, are you happy? That's all I'm asking. I'm always happy, man. No, you're not always happy, but I'm glad it's live. Every time I come here, I'm happy, so that's all we need. We're happy to have you.

The f***, bro? Yeah. Happy. Listen, I kind of look at you as a little bit of a loner sometimes. I'm not sure if that's correct. I am a loner. Right. So in the pandemic, having to spend time alone, how did that affect you?

Or was it f***ing better for you? I don't know. It was a rollercoaster I lost so many friends to all types of stuff health issues self-inflicted issues mental issues

drugs man it's just I don't know man like I think I think bro be always talking about like you know

everybody needs therapy like before the pandemic but now even more so I'm talking about literally 99.9% of the world needs to talk to Samad. 100%.

It's so crazy. So you're doing that. Well, that's a good question because it's hard to find Samad. It really is. It really is. Because you don't trust people. No, you're right.

Well, you talk to him. I do. We talk to him. That's my man. That's my man. If he had 800 cards, he probably would have been like, you can have one.

I feel like you're good at speaking to women. No. Not as like a dating situation. No, I'm not talking about dating, but just like. I'd be like, man, get the fuck, no.

You definitely don't do that. No, I don't do that. But no, I mean, just even conversationally for some reason. I don't know. Have you been around me and women before?

I mean, like on lip service, I feel like that was a two-hour therapy session, though. And you were very open. I don't even remember nothing I said on that joint. I'm sure he was drinking. You can't drink and have a therapy session. He said he sure you was drinking. Because you're all drink on that show. That's why.

Like you alcoholic or something. He sure you was drinking, Wale. It's another brand of water. I just like to, like, bottle it. No, it's not playing. No, I heard that, you know, that, you know, the students at Howard were very happy. They said that while they were out there protesting,

you pulled up and you bought them food to make sure that they were good and you spoke to them and sat down for them for a while. I'm glad you touched on that because, like, I was trying to get more information on it and we reached out to the president. We're waiting to hear back from him. And we just trying to make it amicable.

We just want to make it smooth. I don't want to come in so aggressive and be like, okay, the rap guy's coming in. Nah, let's just try to rectify the situation because Howard is a staple. I think if I could take anything from this, I just want some transparency between the students and the people in power over there.

I reached out to him, too, as well, to try to get him on The Breakfast club to explain what's going on but haven't heard nothing back home we mom we won't we press that issue right now why don't we try to figure out something where was full transparency with the student body and the people in power I don't want to say in charge because I say in writing you work for those students, right? Because they're paying a lot of money, their families. Howard got it. I'm not pocket watching Howard.

Howard got it. They got a $700 million plus in now. Okay now, okay now. You know what I mean? I just want to know, and I'm sure the kids' parents want to know because we don't want Howard to turn into like 13th grade for just people that's from the DMV

and nobody want, like we don't want that. We got a lot of great people that graduated from that. That's nobody want like we don't want that we had a lot of great people that graduated that's what I'm saying so we gotta we gotta protect the legacy of the school and I mean shoot maybe we get some one or two of the students to come here first now I would love to and the reason I reached out because Hampton had a situation like this a couple of years ago oh yeah I was able to fly to Hampton and speak to the president myself and we had a conversation and we were able to help help things move how you know I want the same thing it hurts me because i was at homecoming and i was there when you came

through with the food and with the students but you see you know the yard is divided you've got a lot of students out there that's living in tents because they're saying that you know that where they live is moldy and it is you know rodents and we just want to get it fixed because this is our community these are our schools and most importantly these are our future leaders correct i want to get it fixed because this is our community. This is our school. And most importantly, these are our future leaders. Correct. I want to be involved in Bowie State, Howard, Morgan, Norfolk, you know, VSU, all of these places, bro. I want to be involved. Like, why not?

I want the two HBCUs. So, man, maybe this might be the platform to just give some transparency or at least have some of the students from Howard come talk to you because now it just exists on TikTok. Absolutely. This might be the place. You heard it first, man. Let's talk about fluctuate, man. Right.

Why does life fluctuate? We love fluctuates. That second verse on fluctuate is, to me, probably like the top three verses of the year to me. Let's go back and listen. Why don't we play it? Can we play it now? Let's play it.

Do I do that? Yeah. Okay, can I get some more of my water? We don't have your water. We don't have that. You don't own that water. We're going to play fluctuate on air. She didn't get the joke.

No. Can I get some more? Do you want to have some more of this specific water? No, we don't. Aquapana? No. Oh, you didn't get it either? Uh-uh.

Oh. God. You know what? It's early. I thought I smelled it, but I was like. Oh. Oh,. Oh, my god. You know what? It's early. I thought I smelled it, but I was like, black. Blanco. No, no, no, no, no. Tequila. Tequila. Tequila?

OK, OK, white or brown? White. Tell us why it's the second best verse of the year, though. Break it down. I don't want to misquote it, because I probably just drank too much water. I'm overly hydrated. OK.

But the meaning of this joint is basically like, the love fluctuate and the hate will fluctuate. So the good and the bad always fluctuate. And the money's the reason. All right, we got more with Wale. When we come back, let's get into another joint off the album. It's called Fluctuate.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Wale. Yee. You've said before that you took the pressure off yourself to get married. Right?

But is that something that you want to do one day? Where you see that at? That's not an interview you did. Oh, you be reading s***? I read s*** all the time. Oh, wow. I didn't even know. Donnell told me you couldn't read.

Damn. I'm not f***ing with you. I think that when you let go of the pressure of, like, saying, I got to do this, got to do this. Because in Nigerian households, marriage is a big thing you know i'm saying i'm not even trying to embarrass nobody be having a big ceremony this that and the third and then having to go through divorce like our parents don't get divorced like they'll be we've just have they're just gonna be dysfunctional and then so one of the one of the family members go to nigeria for five years six years and they still not divorced i don't want to put nobody through that.

I don't want to put nobody's family through that. And then my job is so unorthodox. It's just hard. I don't want to put nobody through that. That Nigerian upbringing is hard, huh? We had Yvonne Orgy on, and she was basically saying she got to unlearn so much of that culture because it's like a bar of perfection that's just unattainable.

Yeah, we was all supposed to be doctors, lawyers, or engineers. It took me probably to meet Obama for my mother to be like, wow, I'm proud, proud. You think you could be with one person for the rest of your life? I don't, man. When I did Red Table Talk,

first of all, I love Jada and Will. But when she talked about marriage, sometimes it seems like subconsciously she makes it seem like it's such a difficult thing. And that kind of like validates what my perspective is like, yo, why everybody be like marriage is so hard. You got to work on it. So why am I making my life harder? I think there's a lot of benefits that come with that, too. What are the benefits of marriage?

I love stability. I love stability. I love having a partner that I know is down for me, and, you know, we complement each other. And I think the problem with marriage is people feel like somebody's got to be the dominant, and somebody has to be the person that's not dominant. That's an old-fashioned one. That's bull.

It should be seed and soil. Because seed and soil come together. Something grows from it, and it bears fruit. That's the way it should be. Seed and soil. Seed and soil. And it don't matter who the seed, it don't matter who the soil.

But I also... So what do you think the benefit is? But listen, I also feel like, because I'm not married, right? But I also feel like I don't have to get married, and I don't have that pressure to be married just like you. Now, do I feel like I could be with somebody forever? Yes.

Do I feel like I have to get married to do that? I don't feel like I have to. I'm not saying that I never would, but I don't feel the pressure to do it. Did you answer the question on what benefits emerges? Well, there's some tax benefits from what I hear. Oh, so you're talking about money now. And then even if something should happen to one of you, there's that.

I love having somebody to go home to. But I also feel like it is a business proposition at the same time. It's an arrangement, right, where you guys, because you have to sign paperwork. It depends. See, that's what I'm saying. When you say words like arrangement and paperwork, I feel like it, yeah, it is. That's exactly, that's why it takes so much. But it depends. But you want to have better.

I wrote this on May 22nd. I don't know, 3-38. I must have been in a club. Most people ain't married, and most marriages ain't happening. So think about the percentages. Where you got that from, though? I hear people throw that out. You wrote it in a club. Most people ain't married, and most marriages ain't happy. So think about the percentages. Where you got that from, though? I hear people throw that out. That's not true.

No, no. The divorce rate is skyrocketing. And the happily married rate, I'm going to read it to you. 86%, the vast majority of people, 86% describe their marriages as either very happy, extremely happy, or perfect. That's after you take the 60% or divorce. First of all, yeah, that's that, too. First of all, when anybody says anything is perfect, they're f***ing lying.

Nothing is perfect. That's not true. It can be perfect for you. No. They probably answered that question live from the f***ing honeymoon. I just always hear people who are not married saying how bad marriage is. How the f*** do y'all know? I always see married women at shows saying stuff.

I've had friends that have been married that be like just... Have you slept with a married woman, Wale? No. I'm not a homemaker. No. I respect the bond of marriage. What about if you didn't know till after? No.

I'm asked. Okay. What are some other questions that you ask right away? Like, what matters to you? Because you said you ask if someone's married. What else matters? Shoot. Maybe my bar is under the devil's bed, man, because I don't really know.

Like, I don't really know what I don't have. You've been hurt. Yeah. You got trust issues. I got, there I go. You got to deal with your own internal stuff before you even deal with somebody else. But you probably hurt women as well, right? I hurt because I'm hurt, like, in a way. Because I know, like, sometimes I don't feel worthy of certain people sometimes.

And I just, like, I just need my, like, space. I get really isolated sometimes. My friends call it. My man, they be like, you going back to Gotham? And then that basically is like when i when i be in a crib for like three days in the back here there's no light it's just i just be watching tv smoking weed you know what i'm saying but that happens in marriages though that's why you everybody got different spaces i just feel like the wife need me i feel like i'm gonna

talk that just be needed space sometimes and just needed like you know what i'm saying and marriage just feels like a job like i just feel like a lot of people that's married it always feels like it's just gonna it's always ending soon like so many people that you think you got a perfect relationship that should be over you know eventually but you know it's okay marriage licenses should have to get renewed in like every 10 years i've heard that before yeah you know what's so crazy you said uh you described it as a job but they also say that if um if you love something you'll never work a day in your life but just find the right person that you are actually in love with i don't even know if that's possible man like i don't know is that just think how i'm wired because of my job and what i do like i'm not saying i would i would love to but it's just highly unlikely that i will feel

like that type of like energy from somebody that's like man i'm one you know i mean well listen i don't believe in pressuring anybody to do anything they're not ready to do so says the one who gets me to do all the interviews she wants me to do and then gets inducted in the radio hall of fame well listen for lauren too lauren too we didn't even talk enough about the album. We talked about like eight songs off the album and played two of them. That's not enough. We should do a Wale takeover. Yes, man.

Just play the whole album. We'll play half of it. I know you guys. Who do you think you are? Khaled? Drake? You know they're the only ones that get that. Yes, I would like the Drake-Khaled stimulus package.

The iHeart joint. I don't know how much that costs. Hey, whatever. We're going to figure it out. Hey, no, but look. No, I want to know how much that costs. Hey, whatever. We gonna figure it out. Hey, no, but like, I wanna say this before I go. So, the jump in record, right, with Lil' Chris,

T.O.B. That's right. It's important, man. Like, I'm not no rookie no more. I gotta bring some more jewelry to the game. That record right there is one of them joints that's gonna be like, what I hope to be one of them joints that introduce the most recent sub-genre of go-go to the world. I've been talking about go-go with Pharrell, Travis Scott, J. Cole, and everybody's asking about my go-go album coming out.

Jumpin' is the very, very first true step into the go-go album because it is an original go-go song. And I know in my heart that we're gonna do something special with go-go, man. It's one of the blackest genres of music that ever existed original go-go song and I know in my heart that we're going to do something special with go-go, man. It's one of the blackest genres of music that ever existed, go-go. You know what I'm saying? I appreciate y'all having me. Thank you, Wale. Envy, man. Appreciate you, bro. Thank you for everything. It's the Breakfast Club. Go get

for Lauren, too. 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. All right. Well, Fetty Wap and a state correctional officer were charged with others in a drug distribution ring.

Allegedly, they're saying this ring distributed more than 100 kilos of narcotics across Long Island and New Jersey, according to a federal indictment. That indictment was unsealed in New York Friday. So there were six people who were charged by federal authorities with conspiring to distribute and possess controlled substances. Fatty Wap was arrested Thursday at Citi Field, and they're saying the pipeline of drugs in this investigation ran thousands of miles from the West Coast to the communities here in our area, contributing to the addiction and overdose epidemic we have seen time and time again tear people's lives apart. According to the indictment, the defendants distributed allegedly more than 100 kilos of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and crack cocaine.

That's sad. I hear stories like that, and I really hope that it's not true. Because what's the point of getting out the hood beating the odds only to get involved in the drug game yeah he just released a project I was just in the studio with him about I think about a week ago listening to his new album which is uh dedicated to his daughter that just passed away so I pray that it's not true all right now for some good news let's talk about the rock and roll hall of fame and this is the most diverse class of inductees.

The 2021 class amongst the people who were actually honored this year. LL Cool J, Jay-Z, Foo Fighters, Gil Scott Heron, Clarence Avant, amongst other people. So congratulations to everybody who actually were honored this year. Now let's discuss. Jay-Z actually was introed by both Obama and Dave Chappelle. Here is what Dave Chappelle had to say. I would like to apologize to the un-sh**. It is an incredible honor to induct this next man into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

I need everybody in Rock and Roll to know that even though you are honoring him, he is ours. I could sit up here tonight, I could talk about his acting, his business, man, talk about his accomplishments, but I think what's most important for everyone in this room to know is what he means to us, what he means to his culture. That's right. All right, in addition here is Barack Obama interviewing Jay-Z. I've turned to Jay-Z's words

at different points in my life, whether I was brushing dirt off my shoulder on the campaign trail, sampling his lyrics on the Edmund Pettus Bridge on the 50th anniversary of the Selma March to Montgomery. Today, Jay-Z is one of the most renowned artists in history and an embodiment of the American dream. The dream he has helped make real for other young people like him.

So let me be one of the first to welcome Hope, the kid from Marcy Houses, to HOF as an official rock and roll hall of famer. Whoop, whoop. All right, now Jay-Z talks about how the song hard knock life changed the course of his career I have to speak. This is who I have to speak for. And we didn't have our fathers around, so not only did it have to be the author, but it had to be Danny Warbucks, too. Oh, so I made a song for a hard-knock life. That set the course of, you know, what I would do for the rest of my career. In addition to that, he also did thank Damon Dash, and this went viral after Bevy Smith was watching and posted. And we created this company called Black and Fellow Records. Shout out to Dane.

I know you don't see eye to eye, but I can never erase your accomplishments. Thank you, Jay. Thank you for acknowledging Dane Day. I guess everything is all about the moment and timing, because I've never heard Jay not acknowledge Dane, our bigs. He's always acknowledged him. Yeah, absolutely. They always say they didn't see eye to eye on a lot ofs. He's always acknowledged him. Yeah, absolutely. They always say

they don't see eye to eye on a lot of things, but he always acknowledged him. Absolutely. All right. Also, congratulations to Tina Turner. She was inducted.

The Go-Go's were inducted. And as we said, LL Cool J, who also brought out some surprise guests. He had Eminem join him for his Rock the Bells classic. J-Lo also contributed

to a live rendition of their song, All I Have. So here is Dr. Dre introing LL Cool J into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. L, do you remember a story you told me about leaving Def Jam? You were the first artist on Def Jam. You recorded all of this music and delivered all of these albums. Then fast forward to this, your deal is up. And you told me you were really expecting

a really hot dog party gift, right? Do you remember what you told me you got? A cheap watch. Right? I mean, what is that?

Well, now I guess you know what time it is, right? And in the next hour, we'll play LL Cool J also accepting his award. I would like to congratulate the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for convincing hip hop LL Cool J and hip hop Jay-Z to grace them with their presence. And I want to thank LL and Jay for allowing the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to use their image and likeness. And I'm glad that LL and Jay accepted the honor and bought validation to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

LL Cool J has been nominated six times in the past. Wow. As well as another one of my main inspirations, Climax North Carolina's own Clarence Avant. Okay. They bought some validation to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yeah. Shout and congrats to LL and Jay-Z.

Both of them heavily inspired me into a lot of the things that I do, especially in music and business. And my girl Tina Turner, by the way. I love you some Tina Turner. Shout out to those brothers. I just, you know, just seeing LL and what he's done for Queens and the fact that he rose from Queens and his grandmoms' house and his grandmother allowing people to come in and see her crib

and see all the awards was always huge inspiration. So shout out to LL and Hov. All right. I respect LL for sure. Mr. Carter and Clarence, they've been definitely two of my main inspirations. Dropping the Clues bombs for all those kings. Those gods.

And queens. All right. Well, who you giving your donkey to? Man, there's a brother named Kevon Burns. He needs to come to the front of the congregation.

We like to have a word with him. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

Everybody's talking about TikTok right now, even sports fans. Now, Charlamagne, you seen this? Why are you talking to me about football and trying to show me TikToks, man? Because your team is on there. Their fans are on there. The players are on there. This is where the real talk is happening. There's like literally everything you could think of right now on TikTok.

You just got to see it. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. of right now on TikTok. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey of the day right there. It's a breakfast club, bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Well, donkey of the day for Monday, November 1st, first of the month, goes to a 28-year-old Michigan man named Kavon Burns. Now, Kavon Burns, ladies and gentlemen, just received a letter saying he was in contempt of court.

What is contempt of court? Contempt of court is when a person disobeys a court order or disrupts the court's legal process and can result in punishments, including jail time and fines. Now, Kavon said there was no specific reason for contempt listed on the document. But forget all that. I don't care that Kavon got contempt of court. I care what Kavon did to put himself in a position to get contempt of court in the first place. See, Kavon had to appear in court via Zoom because of a charge he caught in 2020. The charge was operating a motor vehicle without security. Operating a vehicle without security means driving without car insurance. It is considered a misdemeanor in Michigan that can result in in fines between $200 to $500 and up to a year in prison.

Because of that charge, his license was suspended. So he's got a suspended license, and he had to have a Zoom court hearing to address the driving without security charge. I repeat, Kavon had a suspended license, and he had to have a Zoom court hearing to address the driving without security charge. Would you like to know how that went? Let's go to WGN TV 9 for the report, please. In Michigan, a driver with a suspended license thought it would be smart to try and double down.

Are you driving right now? Yeah. You're suspended and you're in court. First of all, interrupting the court. I'm not even driving. I'm parking in somebody's car because they couldn't park. That's all I was doing. It's a female car. All right. I'm going to need you to park your car and get out of the court. I'm not even driving. I'm parking somebody's car because they couldn't park. That's all I was doing. It's a female car.

All right. I'm going to need you to park your car and get out of the car, okay? You know, in the bad days, I say that. Well, I'm not having a bad day until you started talking while driving at the same time that you're suspended. The judge could have issued a warrant for the man's arrest, but she didn't. He shared the stunt on tiktok kavan said he wasn't driving yes i'm sorry he was just parking someone's car last time i checked you had to you know drive the car to park it isn't parking and driving

two different things kavan had a suspended license and showed up to his Zoom court hearing driving. Well, as you just heard, Kavon didn't duck it. He posted a clip of what we just heard on his own Instagram page, and he tagged the Shade Room. Dropping the clues, boss, for Shade Room. Yes! What? I'm sorry. The Shade Room reshared the video on October 8th

and amassed over 2.9 million views with 17,000 comments. Then the video spread even further with another one of our favorite sites, Worldstar. Drop on the clues box for Worldstar. Worldstar shared it on IG the same day, and it got over 2 million views. Then a Reddit user reshared the clip to Facepalm, which is a sub-forum dedicated to the stupidity of individuals online. And, yeah.

They posted the video with the headline guy with suspended license shows up to zoom court while driving that gained over 26 000 upvotes and 487 comments then last friday another person reposted the video to tiktok where it blew up even further and garnered over 3.7 million views and 490 000 likes basically as the, as the kids say, he was viral. What does that even mean? I had a young lady walk up to me a couple weeks ago at one of my favorite spots to eat Paula's in Hackensack. You ever been to Paula's? You've been to Paula's, right? Drop on the clues box for Paula's.

Soulful restaurant in Hackensack, New Jersey. If you're ever in Jersey, pull up to Paula's in Hackensack. It's on Main Street. Nice young lady wanted to take a pic with me and she said, Charlemagne, you know you viral, right? You viral. I gotta get a pic with you. You viral. I have no idea, you know you viral, right? You viral. I got to get a pic with you. You viral. I have no idea what that means.

I know things can go viral, but I didn't know a person could be considered viral. But these youngins think differently. So Kavon, he's viral. He thought he was viral so much so that he attempted to monetize that viralness because he set up a Shopify website selling sweatshirts and t-shirts featuring his quote from the video, if you're having a bad day, just say that. If you're having a bad day, just say that. We told the judge. Burns told Insider in an interview

that within days of the clip going viral, he received a notice that the court was holding him in contempt and he said there was no specific reason for contempt listed on the document. I don't know what the specific reason is either, but it just sounds like you need to be charged with something. All right. I don't have anything to add to this. I really don't. Kavon had a suspended license, showed up to Zoom court driving, tagged some of the biggest blogs in the game to post the crime, sold T-shirts to him mocking the judge, and now he's acting surprised because the courts are charging him with things?

Some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please give Kevon Burns the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. All right. Do we have to? Yes.

Do we really have to? I'm not playing. Okay. I guess for feces and giggles, guess what race it is. Kevon Burns, 28-year-old Michigan man, had a suspended license, showed up to Zoom court driving, posted his video to his own Instagram page, tagged Shade Room. Guess what race it is.

Angela Yee doesn't want to play. You want to ask Red? That sounded like a white woman to me. A white woman? Okay. Angelina says white woman, Red. Envy? Red, you don't want to play?

No, I don't want to play. I'm good. Envy? Yes. 28-year-old Michigan man named Kavon Burns. Kavon Burns had a suspended license, showed up to Zoom court while driving, posted his video tag, Shade Room. Guess what?

Bracey is! See, this is very easy to me. A couple reasons why. I know a lot of people with their license suspended. They don't believe in license suspended. They drive anywhere. And all those people are black, right? That's one. That's a very, very broad generalization you just did.

I said I know a lot of people, so it stands. Also, the fact that they put it on their own social media had me sliding to the left a little. But then when you named the social media sites, Shade Room, Worldstar. White people go to Shade Room, Worldstar. White people go to Worldstar. Those are big sites out here in these streets. I'm going black. Down, down, down. out here in your streets i'm going black well i will have you angeli and i will have you dj and

we know that you are both wrong really okay he's not a white woman and he is not black he's a nigga we have a drop for that right That is powerful niggas we at work here. Right.

French Montana breaks it down. He had given me a Yule Bluff, so it wasn't iced out. So I just took it to my Jewel. I was like, yo, can you switch this for me? Akon gave it to me for my birthday. He looked at me and was like, what you mean? Akon did not give you this, my guy. So I just called him.

Shout out to Akon, by the way. That's my guy. I'm still waiting for that. For the real one? Yeah, for the real one. So I'm at him. I'm like, yo, Akon, my Jewel is saying this is fake. Say it ain't so.

He was like, what? And he was like, let me call you right back. Because he gave me a couple of them like that. Let me call him back. I ain't hearing from him about that. I it ain't so. He was like, what? He was like, let me call you right back. He gave me a couple of them like that. Let me call him back. I ain't hearing from him about that. What's his dad doing? So we're asking, has that ever happened to you? Now, somebody gave me a fake bracelet.

I remember that. To give to my wife. It was an Hermes bracelet. And as soon as I brought it home, my wife said, that's fake. And I said, how can you tell? She says, Hermes doesn't make that. So I remember that. And one time, I always tell a story about this guy selling Kenneth Cole leather jackets.

They see me on the side of the road. They was like, hey, we just left this huge clothing show and we have to go back to Europe. It was like, but we can't take these jackets because if we take these jackets, they'll charge it for us. So we'll give it to you for half price. So he came out with the jackets. He put like a cigarette lighter on the jackets to show that the jackets won't burn. And I bought one for me. I bought one for my dad.

That's nice. And I bought one for Gia. It's very generous of you. And when I got home, I realized they were fake as well. Fake, like fake, fake, fake, like horribly fake. And I got got. Those are the. Yeah, you had some fake Jordans.

And somebody gave me some fake Jordans. And somebody gave me some fake Jordans one time too. Yep. And my son... Somebody gave it to me. These are things people gave me. Here, NBA, these are for you. And I got them home.

My dad was like, Dad, those are not real. I was like, what do you mean? He was like, nah, they're not real. And they weren't. So those are the three things that I got that were fake.

What about you, Yee? I did have a jeweler give me a fake Cartier bracelet one time. I didn't buy it, but they wanted to do some business with me, and then I had another jeweler tell me it was fake. Damn it, man. What about you, Charlamagne?

No, I buy fake stuff on purpose. You know what I mean? Salute to me and my guy, Pete Davidson. The last fake thing that I remember buying, we went and bought some fake Cuban link chains. I remember you bought them fake chains. From my man, Greg Una, but we did it on purpose because, you know, Pete Davidson is Pete Davidson.

Lenard is Lenard. So nobody's going to question it, you know what I mean? But as far as, you know, receiving fake things, you know, all the time. But we talk about receiving fake things in regards to material items, but people present, you know, us fake personalities and attitudes all the time.

Everyone we meet majority of the time is wearing a mask and they're not presenting the real them. We deal with fake people every day, especially in this business, because folks are presenting their character and not the real them. So, yes, we receive fake things every day. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Emily. Emily, good morning. You got some fake stuff, Emily? Yes, two different items from two different guys actually

okay what was it first item was a fake mcm wallet and i found out because i went to mcm to make sure it was real you had you were onto something yeah it was too little and i was like okay this is weird looking so i went up there to Lennox and they told me it was fake. And I confronted the guy, never saw him again after that. He was like, I don't know what you're talking about. Never saw him again. Then the second guy was a necklace. And I went to the drawer like a little bit after getting it.

We had stopped talking and I had him blocked on everything. And come to find out, he gave me fake gold jewelry. Wow. Was it at least, like, gold-plated? No. Mama, we got to rethink some things, man. If guys are giving you fake jewelry and fake wallets. I know.

Before you get in a relationship with them, you got to check that stuff out. Well, talk to us, baby. Have you had any surgery? I haven't been in a relationship yet., you got to check that stuff out. Well, talk to us, baby. Have you had any surgery? I haven't been in a relationship yet. Have you had any surgery, queen? What's fake on you? Oh, nothing. Oh, okay.

But my whole thing is this. If somebody didn't tell you it's real, you know what I'm saying? They just gave you a chain. Yeah. Costume, jewelry. My whole thing is, like, if it's from the heart, it's okay. But if you're trying to pass it off as something, I'm not okay with that. But are they giving it to you to try to go to the next base?

Like, are they trying to smash and they're giving you the kiss? Oh. Well, damn. Where you from? Luckily, we didn't fall for it. I'm from Pike County. Where's that at? Georgia.

Because she went to Lenox to go check it out. You should give them, like, a little fake vagina from one of those stores and be like, well, here, you can use this until I get the real thing. They don't think she know no better because she country.

Hello, who's this? Hi, my name is Kim. Man, what's going on? I love y'all. I listen to y'all every morning. Now, what did you get that was fake? I got proposed to

with a fake diamond ring. Woo, child. Mm-mm-mm. And that should have been a sign that the relationship did end up worse eventually. Right. But yeah, so he proposed. And, you know, the same night,

I realized it wasn't a diamond and I brought it to his house. Damn. And once we got back to where we're from, we went and purchased a diamond board. But he tried. He tried. So he didn't know.

Did he not know it wasn't real or did he know all along? He knew. Okay. He knew. Because it could have been like Envy bringing home that fake bracelet to his wife, not realizing. No, ma'am. He knew. He's a city slicker type of fella.

So maybe he couldn't afford it. He couldn't afford it. He didn't want to be embarrassed. So he said, look, he'll give you that until he can afford it. But he should have brought it to my attention. Like, hey, and if he can afford it, maybe it wasn't time for us to get married. Right. Get a tattoo.

Let's get matching tattoos. No. Exactly. But now until his time. Would you have married him if he told you he couldn't afford a ring? I would have told him, let's wait. Let's wait a while. Damn.

All right. Well, thank you, Mama. All right. Thanks. 800-585-1051. Have you gotten anything fake? Somebody gave you a fake gift? Call us up. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. That kid don't even deal with that. Call me. Add your opinion

Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about receiving a fake gift. Now, French Montana speaks on Akon giving him a fake watch. He had given me a Yublo, so it wasn't iced out.

So I just took it to my Jewel. I was like, yo, can you switch this for me? Akon gave it to me for my birthday. He looked at me and was like, what you mean? Akon did not give you this, my guy. So I just called him shot the acorn by the way that's my god i'm still waiting for that for the real one yeah so i'm heading my layup con this was my judas face it ain't so he was like what he was like let me call you right

back he gave me a couple of them like that let me call him i ain't hearing from him about that all right well let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name's Tiffany. Hey, Tiffany. Now, what did you give fake? I gave a guy a fake chain before a fake Cuban link. Oh, my gosh. Where you from, New York?

That's hilarious. I'm from Florida. I'm from South Florida. Why did you do that? Because that's what I could afford. I mean, I had to give him what I could afford. That's all I could give him. And what did he say?

Did he appreciate it? Yeah, he seemed like he appreciated it. I'm sure he knew it was fake. Damn, neck all green. You know, it was in the middle of the mall store. Okay, all right. Well, as long as he wore it and appreciated it. You can only wear that for like a month.

I still got the chain, though. Well, thank you, mama. He didn't take it. He can only wear that for like a month. I still got the chain, though. But thank you, mama. He didn't take it. He didn't take it? No, he didn't take it. Like, when the relationship was over, he didn't take it with him. Why would he take that fake chain?

Why would he take that fake chain? Take your chain back. Take your chain back. Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Tamara. Hey, good morning, mama. Good morning. How are you? Good morning, This is Tamara. Hey, good morning, Mama. Good morning.

How are you? Good morning, MP. Good morning, Solomon. Peace, Queen. Good morning, my boogey. Morning, boo. Good morning. I don't know if you remember me from a couple weekends ago,

but I said you go work in Hennessy Williams. Oh, okay. Yes. Okay. Yes, yes. All right. So the topic is did I receive something fake, right? Yes.

So let me make y'all laugh at this. I'm sorry, Daddy. I love you, but... Okay, so when I was about five or six, my daddy brought me a Tommy Hilfiger. And he wasn't really around like that. So for him to bring something over, I was excited to get a gift from him. So I get a gift, I open it, it's a Tommy Hilfiger dress.

But the dress is fake. When I look in the bag, it doesn't say Tommy Hilfiger. Oh man, he got you some bootleg Tommy Hilfiger. And you schooled, because you remember this since five. Damn. He definitely,

he got me a bootleg Tommy Hilfiger. Did you wear it? Yeah, I kept that dress nice. Whatleg Tommy Greg Did you wear it? What was it? Did you wear it? I did not wear it And five, you like get this fake ish Out of here Out of here Well daddy tried

No Alright, thank you mama Have a good one. Thank you, y'all too. Hello, who's this? This is Sierra. Hey, Sierra. You got a fake gift? Yes, I got a fake Louis bag.

How'd you know it was fake? So, I knew it was fake. So, he gave it to me. He got a settlement. We were not gonna go crazy with the money. I was going to get a Louis bag, and he saw a watch that's down in the Diamond District, both of them, and he was on a schedule. So he did something crazy.

I put my bag and went to the cheesecake factory. I was just going to have me some drinks alone. And this older woman walked in with the same bag and you can clearly see that her leather was made in Italy and my was in China. Goodness gracious. They like the leather is soft and they like drew and her bag was like standing at attention it was just so embarrassing. It was so, I was so mad. You know? He was just being cheap and shady. Damn it, man.

And then he gave me the bag with $1,500 in it. He could have used that on a real bag. That's the money he saved by not buying that real bag. Or somebody got him. A lot of times, people don't know. People say they got a hookup, and they don't know. And dudes ain't gonna know the difference between real and fake. They're like, come to Kanashi. We got a hookup. Well, his watch was real,

so. I bet it was. That's embarrassing, too. Somebody walk in with the same bag, but theirs is real, and yours is clearly not. Damn it, man. Next to each other. Well, thank you, mama. Apparently, it was not the business at all. Thank you. So what's the moral

of the story guys I don't know if there is a moral of the story man hey you ain't gotta fake it if you ain't got the money to get the real thing just get something else

that is in your price range I wonder though cause they say it's the thought that counts right I was thinking about getting you a as a fake thought

a Louis Vuitton bag but it's not necessarily a fake thought it's like I want the best for you I just can't afford it right now then it's the whole fake it till you make it thing so here hold this fake bag till i can get you a real one a whole is fake ring you just can't be out wearing

a fake bag though because everybody could look a lot of people could look at it and tell it's fake do you really want that i just feel like i've always been of the mindset if i can't afford to get that i'll just stay in my price range until I can. All right. I don't know, bro. Well, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and Will Smith revealed that he once did consider suicide. And so we'll tell you what he had to say. All right, we'll get into that next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, we were talking about these inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Now, earlier we played Dr. Dre inducting LL Cool J in. And here is what LL Cool J had to say. The first word that comes to mind when I think about a night like this is humility.

I'm not talking about that false self-deprecating I bow to you, but I think I'm better than you. I'm talking about real humility, where you have the confidence to collaborate, the confidence to work with other people, the confidence to celebrate others. So first I want to thank, of course, God. So, congratulations to him. He's been nominated six times in the past. Yeah, I don't care what y'all say. LL Cool J, Jay-Z, Tina Turner, Clarence, Avant,

they do more for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame than the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame does for them. And why don't they change the name to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and just call it the Music Hall of Fame? Mm-hmm. I agree. And Katina Turner ain't a rock artist. Would you consider her a rock artist? No, neither is Jay.

Jay's definitely not. That's hip-hop, LL's hip-hop. Absolutely. And Clarence A. Martin don't even do music. He produced it before, but still. Alright, now Will Smith was on his new docuseries, The Best Shape of My Life, and revealed that he once actually considered suicide. And he said that getting into shape is

not just about the physical, but the mental as well. Here's what he had to say. When I started this show, I thought I was getting into the best shape of my life physically, but mentally I was somewhere else. I'm done. And I ended up discovering a whole lot of hidden things about myself. I'm writing my book and it's like exposing my life and so many things that people don't know about me. That was the only time in my life that I ever considered suicide. Now I'm about to show the world

how little I know about myself. I don't want to do any of this. I'm finished with the best shape of my life. Damn. Yeah, man, when you start digging deep on that healing journey, that happens. Healing hurts. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar. It's uncomfortable.

You start peeling back layers and realizing, you know, you don't like a lot of things about yourself. And then when you're at that age he's at and you realize, damn, everything I thought I knew I don't know, that can be a dark place. All right. Well well I'm sure everybody's gonna be watching that uh YouTube docuseries for him I want that book originals all right now in the meantime uh let's talk about future because recently somebody told uh future that he should hang out with Will Smith and he responded I'd rather hang with Jada

respectfully so yeah now this all comes after all these stories of entanglements of course but and he responded, I'd rather hang with Jada, respectfully. So, yeah. Now, this all comes after all these stories of entanglements, of course, but Justin the Boy posted to Instagram, Will needs to start hanging with Future. And that's when Future responded, I'd rather hang with Jada. That's kind of corny, though. What's that? That's still a married woman at the end of the day.

You know what I mean? I get it. You know, Future playing it up to his fans on social media. But I don't know. Would you want somebody playing with your wife like that? You asking me? You know how far I go. And if one day Future gets married, probably not.

But if he does, he's not going to want anybody playing with his wife like that. You know what I mean? Well, he did say respectfully. Shut up, Pete. All right. Now, Kobe Bryant, according to reports, he had made a $6 million investment in body armor.

And apparently Coca-Cola is nearing a deal to buy a controlling stake in body armor at an $8 billion valuation. Kobe did get 10% of that in 2014 for 6 million. Now they're saying it's worth $800 million. Wow. That investment that he made. So I'm sure that's amazing for his family. Smart business. Can't set up for life.

That's the investment you want to make for your family to make sure no matter what happens in this world or your life, your family's taken care of. Yeah, man. Rest in peace to Kobe Bryant. Send the healing energy to the Bryant family always. And since we're talking money, 300 Entertainment, one of the hottest labels in hip-hop,

is up for sale. That was founded by Lior Cohen, Roger Gold, Kevin Liles, and Todd Moskowitz. Industry insiders say that it is expected to sell for at least $400 million. That's a lot of money. And I saw that P also said that he wants to buy 300. He said, I have my bankers on deck from Quality Control.

Billionaire P. So 300 for people that don't know. You want to tell them some of the acts on there? Migos. Migos not on there no more. Well, they were. Yeah, Migos were. Yeah, so Gunna, Young Thug, Megan Thee Stallion.

They all had at one point been on 300. No, they're still on there. Thug is still there. Gunna is still there. Megan is still there. Fetty Wap is there. Who else? I don't know.

That's all I can think of. Those four. But I know that the Migos and Quality Control definitely helped build 300. Definitely laid the bricks to the foundation. Their first two albums. I wonder what's going to happen when they sell it. Who's going to buy it? All right. And Atlanta, season three is coming.

They actually put up a nearly one-minute long teaser. Donald Glover shared that for season three is coming. They actually put up a nearly one minute long teaser. Donald Glover shared that for season three of Atlanta. So that should be exciting because, you know, I really enjoy that show. I can't wait for season three to finally happen. We've been waiting so long for this show to come back. So, yes, season three. They said a lot of details have remained under wraps, but who knows what direction it's going to go in.

Yeah, I saw Donald Glover talking spicy last night about Dave. He deleted the tweets. What'd he say? Hold on. Somebody sent it to me in a group chat. He said, and just for the record, I'm watching y'all saying Dave is on par. Like y'all forgot what we did. No disrespect.

We got black people on here debating, which is better. And I'm the seller. I got receipts. I didn't understand that. I don't know what race got to do with it. Like you can be black and still think that, you know, something is better. But, I mean, Atlanta is the OG. I don't even see what the comparison is other than they're on the same network and they both rap. All right.

Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Shout out to Revolt. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, let's get to the mix. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.olt. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, let's get to the mix. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Entrepreneurship videos, people talking about starting their own businesses, giving tips. I love seeing people promote generational wealth and pouring into their community. That's right. From hilarious to the serious, you have to see it. TikTok. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, Powerhouse NYC, they just announced two additional more acts, Roddy Ricch and Lil Baby. They're going to join the Migos, Moneybagg Yo, Spin King and Friends, Polo G, Saweetie, and Capella Gray.

We even had a racetrack for the kids so the kids could ride the little remote-controlled cars around the track. Thank you, brother. Thank you, brother Thank you everybody that brought their cars white boy Rick littles Royster five nine

Who else? Iceware vessel for two dog fab fifty I just want to say thank you to the whole Detroit y'all came out y'all showed out and I really appreciate you guys Our next next one is on Miami in December But I just want to say thank you to everybody that came out to the car show. Now, Charlamagne, over the weekend, you were busy on your show, huh? I see you had Michael Myers, you had the locks. I didn't have Michael Myers on the show.

Michael Myers is a fictional character from Halloween. On the God's honest truth, this past Friday we definitely had the locks and we had a senior advisor to the president, Cedric Richmond. So salute to my guys for pulling up. I thought the locks would be good to have on because, you know, I do feel like we're in a bad deal with the Democrats. And, you know, who knows how to get out of bad deals better than the LOX.

But we talked to Cedric Richmond about a number of things. You know, one in particular, just why are the Democrats so cowardly? Do you think Democrats are cowards? No. Okay. So why are y'all scared to get rid of the filibuster so y'all can properly legislate? You know, it's a simple math problem. Okay.

You gotta get to 50. What's keeping y'all from the 50? There are a couple. Two, two, say it. It might be three. Manchin, Sinema. We are talking to senators about the talking filibuster because we know voting rights is important and we gotta get it done. President said it at the town hall.

Talk to me about that. How do two Democratic senators, right, Manchin and Sinema, seem to have more power than everyone else? And what does that say about where the real power is when two senators can dictate to the country what they want the president's agenda to be, Cedric? You know that's some BS. Well, when you have 50 Democratic senators and you need each one, everyone is their own president because you have to get 100% to get it moving. But, you know, at the end of the day, we're going to keep pushing and we're going to keep working with them. Do you think they should get rid of the filibuster?

Well, I think we have to reform it. Okay. Does that mean get rid of it? Well, in its current form, absolutely. So, yeah, make sure you check out The God's Honest Truth every Friday at 10 p.m. on Comedy Central. And you can scream it on Paramount Plus every day, any time of the day. Okay, the first six episodes are available on Paramount Plus right now.

So salute to everybody that's been watching. Thank you very much. All right. When we come back, we got the positive note. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now it's time to get up out of here. Got to thank Falarin, Wale, for pulling up today.

Falarin 2 is out right now. Make sure you go grab that. All right. Well, you got a positive note? Positive note is simple, man. It's Monday, start of the new work week. And it's the first start of a new month. We only got two months left in the year.

So I just want to tell you something really simple. Start it. God will finish it. Breakfast Club, bitches! Y'all finished or y'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. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
