Listen to Historical Records because in order to make history you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Well, y'all came a long way. I think that y'all
Starting point is 00:02:27 have a certain amount of respect for, you know, what everybody else does, and y'all are just the best at what y'all do. This platform, the reach y'all have that you've earned, makes space for somebody like me. You guys have a direct line to the culture. Oh my God, I'm on the radio with Angela Charlamagne and DJ Envy?
Starting point is 00:02:43 Yes, you are. All I do is read about The Breakfast Club. Really? Every morning. That's good. You guys are trending. Every, you know, I drag my ass out of bed. I'm like, uh, what happened at The Breakfast Club today?
Starting point is 00:02:57 Get your ass up. Good morning, USA. Oh, good morning, Angela Yee. Hey, good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Tuesday. Yes, it's Tuesday. How y'all feeling? Like a Hall of Famer, like a first ballot radio Hall of Famer. And I'm blessed black and highly favored.
Starting point is 00:03:42 What's happening? Could use another hour of sleep, though, but you know. You and me both, but it's all good. We alive. We can't be choosers. Not at all. I stayed up watching the playoffs all day yesterday, and I stayed up watching the Democratic National Convention
Starting point is 00:03:56 and some of the after talk after it, but we're here. What's happening? All right. And good morning, Toronto. Six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six. Yes, it feels good All right. And you just look at that stuff like, why am I saving this? Why do I still have this? I got my kids have McDonald toys from Happy Meals for like seven years ago. Like it's just all types of junk.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Yeah, I was going through a bunch of my old shoes and stuff yesterday, man. And I kept saying to myself, why do I got so much Timberlands? I'm not even from New York. You got so many Timberlands. Let me tell you. So we did this. Shout out to everybody in Houston. When Houston, I don't remember what happened with Houston, what storm it was.
Starting point is 00:04:52 But there was a bad storm in Houston, and Houston needed everything, supplies, toilet paper, shoes. So we did this huge drive. We got this tractor trailer, and we started loading up this tractor trailer. So Charlemagne came through because he said, you know, I'm going to support and I'm going to donate. Charlemagne came, I know a lot, with about 20 pair of Timberlands. And I'm thinking to myself, why do you have so many Timberlands? I don't know either. Nothing has changed.
Starting point is 00:05:18 I got a bunch of them right now. Black, construction color, beef and broccolis, 40 belows that I never wore because whenever I wear 40 below I feel like Mary J. Blige. It's like, I don't know. Goodness gracious. It's really no excuse for all those Timberlands. No, not at all. But Timberlands weren't even ruined. They had like one scuff
Starting point is 00:05:38 or two scuffs on them and you're like, alright, I'm just going to donate. That's the bad part. And I like my Timberlands worn, okay, but you know you end'm just going to donate. That's the bad part. And I like my Timberlands worn, okay? But you know, you end up just buying a pair. It's like you buy a pair every fall or winter for some reason if you live in New York. Just because. It's so weird. I don't
Starting point is 00:05:53 know why. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Young Dolph will be joining us this morning. We'll kick it with Young Dolph. He has a new album out right now. Yes. Rich Slave is the name of the project. Young Dolph gets busy. Drop on a close bond for Young Dolph. He has a new album out right now. Yes, Rich Slave is the name of the project. Young Dolph gets busy. Drop on a clothesline for Young Dolph, Rich Slave.
Starting point is 00:06:09 You know, if you like to be in the gym like I do, that is an absolute gym album. That is an absolute riding album. And Young Dolph can really, really rap. But I don't think he gets the credit he deserves. Probably because he's from Memphis. You know what I mean? And he's not signed to a major label.
Starting point is 00:06:24 But he gets busy Let me You know you work out Why don't you come riding with me brother Just one time I get you I get you a little bike I get you the gel pants
Starting point is 00:06:36 You know what I mean You're a married man It's too late for me to be a little Just ride with me one day It's too late for me to be a little summer bunny Alright it's about to be September Don't be asking me to ride early in the morning. I ain't even had no breakfast yet.
Starting point is 00:06:47 I just brushed my teeth, okay? Ask me to ride early in the morning. What's up with this guy? You just going to let him sexually harass me like that at 6 o'clock in the morning? You guys are crazy, man. You guys have your own thing, your work husbands. You know what? Forget it.
Starting point is 00:06:59 That's nasty. You know what? I'm just saying. You like to work out. You always talk about how much you work out and how much you into health and working and moving. You try to say it's so militant and black. Come ride me, brother. See, I just say, you know what?
Starting point is 00:07:15 Forget it. Yeah, we got front page news coming up. What are we talking about? The Democratic National Conventions. Let's talk about the first night, some of the key moments. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:07:28 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where are we starting, Ed? Well, last night was day one of the Democratic National Convention. And there were a few moments everyone's talking about. Of course, Michelle Obama's speech, which I just want to point out because people were saying she didn't mention Kamala Harris.
Starting point is 00:07:51 This was taped before Kamala Harris was announced as the vice president. A lot of them didn't mention Kamala Harris, though. I mean, Governor Whitmer did, but a lot of them didn't. And the mayor from D.C. I can't remember the sister name right now, but yeah, a lot of them didn't mention Senator Harris. All right, well, amongst the things that Michelle Obama talked about was going high. Here's what she said.
Starting point is 00:08:13 Going high means standing fierce against hatred. And going high means unlocking the shackles of lies and mistrust with the only thing that can truly set us free, the cold hard truth. Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is. It's amazing how context and the right messenger matters because last night everybody loved Michelle Obama saying it is what it is,
Starting point is 00:08:54 but a couple of weeks ago people hated that phrase because Donald Trump said it in regards to the 160,000 people who died from COVID. It's amazing. Context and the right messenger matters. All right, Michelle Obama, who, by the way, had the longest speech of the night last night, also talked about why Joe Biden would be the right person. We have got to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend on it. I know Joe. He is a profoundly decent man guided by faith. He was a terrific vice president and he listens. He will tell the truth and trust science. He will make smart plans and manage a
Starting point is 00:09:37 good team. Now, Joe is not perfect, but there is no perfect candidate and his ability to learn and grow. We find in that the kind of humility and maturity that so many of us yearn for right now. Michelle gave a great speech, but I still don't like them chastising people for not voting instead of giving us something to really vote for. Like the burden of vote shouldn't be on voters. It should be on, you know, the politicians to give us something to actually feel energized to go vote for. And if you're going to tell us to vote, you know, talk some policy. I didn't hear a lot of policy talk last night. It was just a bunch of anti-Trump rhetoric. And it don't take much to be better than Trump.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Well, Michelle Obama did talk about voting. Here's what she said. Folks who know they cannot win fair and square at the ballot box are doing everything they can to stop us from voting. But this is not the time to withhold our votes in protests or play games with candidates who have no chance of winning. We've got to request our mail-in ballots right now, tonight, and send them back immediately, and follow up to make sure they're received, and then make sure our friends and families do the same. We have got to grab our comfortable shoes, put on our masks, pack a brown bag dinner, and maybe breakfast too, because we've got to be willing to stand in line all night if we
Starting point is 00:11:04 have to. I agree with her. But once again, the burden of vote shouldn't be on voters. It should be on Dems to give us something to vote for in a real way. Like Dems really need to learn how to talk policy. And it was too much talk of Joe Biden last night. And they should never mention Joe Biden without mentioning Senator Kamala Harris. I know they taped before she was the VP pick, but that was a fumble because it feels like they missed the gravity
Starting point is 00:11:28 and the history of that moment. With all the energy that they had going last week, they could have really capitalized on that on the first night of the DNC convention because I literally only heard Mayor Bowser of D.C. and Gretchen Whitmer mention Biden and Harris,
Starting point is 00:11:44 if I'm not mistaken. Mayor Bowser actually said my sister, Senator Kamala Harris. And Gretchen Whitmer said Biden-Harris. I think it should be mandatory. Whenever they mention Biden, mention Harris. All right, well, let's not forget, speaking of voting, that today the primaries are in Florida, Wyoming, and Alaska. All right, well, that's front page news.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Starting point is 00:12:19 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 just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country
Starting point is 00:12:46 willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder you know with explosive warheads. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:12:54 What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

After those runs, the conversations keep going.
Starting point is 00:13:31 That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa It was called a moment
Starting point is 00:15:25 Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed,
Starting point is 00:15:49 we want to hear from you on the breakfast club. Hello. Who's this? Oh, it's Anthony. Good morning. DJ MV, Charlamagne,
Starting point is 00:15:57 God, and Charlie. Good morning. I wonder. Good morning. Good morning. I want to start by saying congratulations on you guys. It's a radio Hall of Fame induction.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Thank you, sir. Yeah, no problem. And Envy, you invited Charlamagne on a bike ride. And I'll let you guys know that Envy invited Charlamagne on a bike ride. And apparently bike riding can lower men's testosterone and cause erectile dysfunction because of the pressure that it causes when you sit on the bike seat. It puts pressure on that space that's called perineum, and it can slow the blood flow. So I'm not trying to discredit you. I'm not trying to stop you from riding bikes.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Yeah, I got gel for him, though, brother. I got some gel for him, so he'll be all right. I got some nice gel for him to make sure he's all right. You think he's trying to sabotage Charlamagne? I can't call it one way or another, you know. It definitely sounds like some sort of infiltration, penetration, something he wants to do to my perennium. That'd be a dope Bobby Brown remake.
Starting point is 00:17:04 It's my perennium. Where's the perennium at? It's like in between your ballsum. That'd be a dope Bobby Brown remake. It's my perineum. Where's the perineum at? It's like in between your balls and your boogie? Yeah, that's the medical term for it. It's called the perineum. I just found that out. Thank you. You learn something new every day here on The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Yeah, you got to protect our Hall of Famers. You know, you can't let the Hall of Famers go out. That's right. But I got some gel pants for you, Charlamagne. You be good, man. No. Gel pants take care of everything between your ass and your penis. Bro, you're not getting my perineum, King.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I don't want your perineum. Thank you, sir. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:17:46 I'm telling. I'm telling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling. I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:17:58 We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey, what's your name, bro? Dorian. Hey, Dorian, get it off your chest. Yeah, I got an issue with Charlemagne. I feel like he's being extremely reckless with bashing Biden all the time. I mean, we got the most dangerous president we've ever had in this country,
Starting point is 00:18:17 in office right now. And every chance you get, you're like, Biden's not this guy. We need Democratic policies. We need to get Trump out of office. Every chance you get, you're like, Biden's not, we need Democrats in our season. We need to get Trump out of office. Once again, I don't have time to have this conversation with people because if you're trying to get those disaffected voters or those young voters to come out, trust me when I tell you, saying that you're the anti-Trump just isn't enough. A lot of energy is behind Senator Kamala Harris right now. And a lot of energy is behind the fact that they actually have, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:48 an economic black agenda for black folks. And people want it to be stronger, yes, but it's a great start. But they got to keep that momentum up, period. Every single moment is advertising. Every single moment is a commercial. Every single moment is promotion and marketing. What's going to make people come to the party in November? Putting Senator Harris on the flyer with Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Last night, there was not enough of that in no way, shape, or form. I think people complained when they was like, damn, why Michelle Obama ain't mentioned Senator Harris? But she pre-taped before Senator Harris was the VP pick. So, yes, if you really want Joe Biden to win, then you'll be encouraging him to push an agenda and policy as well as Senator Harris as well. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Well, hello. Who's this? Hi, this is Stephanie. I talked about it yesterday, but I sounded terrible on the phone. Hey, Stephanie. Get it off your chest, mama. Sheryl, you keep talking about people not being outraged about this whole voter suppression thing.
Starting point is 00:19:43 I am literally terrified. I woke up the other day. I live on like a main street and there's a mailbox across the street. I woke up like scared that they took the mailbox away. And I keep checking every day. And I'm like trying to get out the information that we need to go support the USPS, but also to make sure that our ballots are counted. But it's like you don't know what to do in this situation.
Starting point is 00:20:04 This is the craziest thing ever to be happening right now. That's true. You can text USPS to 50409, and they'll send letters to your senators and representatives in support of the Postal Service. It takes like less than one minute. I actually did it yesterday. Just text USPS to 50409.
Starting point is 00:20:26 But yesterday I did see the outrage I was looking for. There was actually a hashtag. It was Divorce Trump. It had like 60,000, 70,000 tweets and it was people finally I guess realizing like, whoa, whoa, whoa. This dude is really trying to kill our democracy.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Yeah, it's like we act like you see this happening in other countries, or, you know, it has happened, dictatorships, all of the above. We act like it can't happen to us, but he is trying to do exactly that. We are not exempt from such. Absolutely. Those happen in other countries because of one person, because of a dictator, not because of
Starting point is 00:20:57 someone like that. Absolutely. That's why I had to get off my chest. I'm terrified, but I'm going to vote and do my part. Well, thank you, bro. Yes. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way, E? Yes, since we are talking about voting,
Starting point is 00:21:15 let's talk about Cardi B and her sit-down with Joe Biden. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. listen up it's just in holocaust gossip the rumor report it's the rumor report the breakfast club well cardi b did a virtual interview with joe biden that was for a part of her l cover story and in this one-on-one she talks about the different demands that she has here's what she said I want like a timeline of when things are going to get better. I want a president to tell me what are the steps for us to get better. I need
Starting point is 00:21:50 somebody to tell me the truth, the hardcore truth. And also, I of course want free Medicare. And this is why it's important to have free Medicare because look what's happening right now. I, of course, think that we need a free college education. That's second. And I want black people to stop getting killed and no justice for it. I'm tired of it. Yeah, I watched that 16 minutes and I love that Cardi had demands. But, you know, it would have been better if Joe Biden was saying that Joe Biden should take those opportunities to tell us what he's going to do for the black and brown community because being the opposite of Donald Trump isn't enough.
Starting point is 00:22:28 That's not moving disaffected voters. You got to tell folks what you plan to do for them. Right. So, you know, Cardi B also previously did that sit down with Bernie Sanders when he was in Detroit. So now she's done this with Joe Biden virtually. Yeah, and once again, Biden-Harris has to be a package deal. I'm sure they taped that before they announced the VP pick, but there should never be
Starting point is 00:22:49 a mention of Joe Biden without mentioning Kamala Harris, because there was a great article in Axios yesterday, and it said the addition of Kamala Harris to the Democratic ticket provided Joe Biden with the biggest surge of online enthusiasm he's seen in the entire campaign. So yes, always mention Harris when you mention Biden.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Yep. Yep. All right, Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez, they are one step closer to becoming owners of the Mets and we'll know as soon as in two weeks who the new owners of the Mets will be. So they are among the seven bidders already pre-approved by the Major League Baseball who are trying to purchase that team. I hope they get it. Now, she bought a $40 million crib in Miami who are trying to purchase that team. I hope they get it. They just bought a $40
Starting point is 00:23:26 million crib in Miami as well, but they got it. I hope they get it. I pray they get it. Now, ain't they both from the Bronx or just J-Lo? Just J-Lo from the Bronx? Just J-Lo. Can the Bronx, can a person from the Bronx buy the Mets? Of course. I thought it was mandatory you got to invest in the Yankees.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Nobody's selling the Yankees, bro. Nobody's selling the Yankees. Okay. Well, buy the Mets then. Nobody wants it. They got the Yankees, right? Nobody selling the Yankees. Okay. Well, buy the Mets then. Nobody wants it. They got a New York team. J-Lo got a New York team. I thought the Mets got better.
Starting point is 00:23:50 I don't watch baseball. I hate baseball. I think everybody wants better ones. But the Yankees is the team. The Yankees is the team. That's like saying you're a Dallas Cowboys fan, right? Just because the Texans play in Texas, that doesn't mean you'll be like,
Starting point is 00:24:02 oh, I like the Texans too. You like the Cowboys. And that's the same thing with people. People like the Yankees or they like the Mets. I think it's just that New York Yankees logo too. People love that logo. Don't the Mets got the same logo? The Mets got a similar logo.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Similar. I don't watch baseball. I like baseball better when everybody's on steroids. I don't watch baseball. Master P is paying for the funeral of a three-year-old girl who was killed while playing with her dollhouse. This was in Kentucky. She was fatally shot along with her father, Trinity Randolph, and her 21-year-old father, Brandon Waddles. They died of multiple gunshot wounds Friday in Louisville.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Lord have mercy. Yes, Master P said this is a three-year-old innocent girl that's gone from her family, from her future. Somebody who could have come out of the community and be the next president, doctor, lawyer, teacher. He said this is sad. So he's covering those costs. Did they catch the killers? Here's to that family. Did they catch the killers?
Starting point is 00:24:56 I'm not sure about that. They have released no information on details of the shooting or information on possible suspects. So not sure. It's an ongoing investigation. What's that? Louisville, if they haven't caught the killers yet and you know who the killers are, turn those killers in. And if the killers are out there,
Starting point is 00:25:16 they should turn themselves in because you're never going to escape that comma. Okay, you killed a three-year-old girl for absolutely positively no reason. You probably didn't have no reason to kill her her pops either i don't know nothing about that situation but all i know is that three-year-old girl for sure did not deserve to die you're not gonna be able to escape that comma so you might as well turn yourself in and if you're in the community of louisville and you know who did it you need to turn them in because guess what
Starting point is 00:25:40 the next kid that may get killed could be yours or a child you love. So no need to have them people on the street that did that. They have no regard for life. I saw people going in on Kylie Jenner yesterday. There was a picture of herself that she had captioned, allegedly, brown-skinned girl. Now, what really happened was somebody photoshopped the picture of her and it said brown eyed girl originally in her first caption. And then somebody photoshopped it and put brown skinned girl. So it looked like she said it. But really what she wrote was brown eyed girl. And
Starting point is 00:26:16 she actually had to post it. And she said, this is photoshopped. Never said this. Have a good day. The Internet is so dangerous. i don't even know why we are on the internet anymore like you remember how they used to say uh believe uh uh half of what you hear but all of what you see that don't apply on the internet you can't believe nothing you hear nothing you see online you gotta cite your sources 20 times before you come to a conclusion about something you see or hear online. It's really nasty out there. It's really bad. Yeah, I saw people were going in on her.
Starting point is 00:26:49 And I was like, wait a minute. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee. And that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news. Next, what are we talking about? Yes, let's talk some more about the Democratic National Convention.
Starting point is 00:26:59 It was day one of the virtual national convention yesterday. We'll tell you who spoke and some of the highlights. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Starting point is 00:27:14 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 are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?
Starting point is 00:27:42 No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

Starting point is 00:30:32 Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, night one of the Democratic National Convention, the virtual one last night, we talked about Michelle Obama in the first front page news. Now let's talk about other things that happened. John Kasich spoke as a Republican, and here's what he had to say about supporting Joe Biden.
Starting point is 00:31:06 I'm a lifelong Republican, but that attachment holds second place to my responsibility to my country. That's why I've chosen to appear at this convention. In normal times, something like this would probably never happen. But these are not normal times. We can all see what's going on in our country today and all the questions that are facing us. And no one person or party has all the answers. But what we do know is that we can do better than what we've been seeing today for sure. And I know that Joe Biden, with his experience and his wisdom and his decency, can bring us together to help us find that better way.
Starting point is 00:31:52 John Kasich is the type of politician I like only because he's a member of the GOP, but he's just going with what his gut tells him to go with, which is, you know, Joe Biden and Senator Harris. And he had a bar last night on CNN. He said, the party is my vehicle, not my master. I thought that was a bar. Right, and there's a video out right now that was produced by the group Republican Voters Against Trump, and you can take a look at that. There's former longtime Republicans and political
Starting point is 00:32:16 appointees who actually worked in that office who are now supporting Joe Biden. So that's interesting to look at. Now, another person who spoke last night is Kristen Urquiza. She lost her father to coronavirus. Here's what she said. My dad should be here today, but he isn't.
Starting point is 00:32:33 He had faith in Donald Trump. He voted for him, listened to him. So in late May, after the stay-at-home order was lifted in Arizona, my dad went to a karaoke bar with his friends. A few weeks later, he was put on a ventilator. And after five agonizing days, he died alone. My dad was a healthy 65-year-old. His only pre-existing condition was trusting Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:32:59 And for that, he paid with his life. That was sad. I saw that in real time. That was horrible. Very sad. All right. Now, while this was going on last night, Donald Trump had a rally in Wisconsin. And he talked about seeking not just a second term, but a third term.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Here's what he had to say. We are going to win four more years. And then after that, we'll go for another four years because, you know what, they spied on my campaign. We should get a redo of four years. I've been telling y'all for a year that's what he wants to do. He's been hinting at that for months. He's been saying that for a long time now. There's a lot of great articles out there about how Donald Trump could lose the election and still remain president.
Starting point is 00:33:46 The guy looks up to Putin. OK, Putin became president of Russia for life. China's president. I can't pronounce his name. He became president for life because he removed the term limits. Don't think for one second Trump, the wannabe dictator, wouldn't attempt to do something like that. He'll plant the seed of possibility and put it on his agenda just to see how people react. You think he cares about the Constitution?
Starting point is 00:34:07 He'll wipe his ass with the Constitution. You think he wouldn't attempt to repeal the 22nd Amendment? Please. That guy? Okay. Now, Donald Trump also says he'll pardon someone very, very important today.
Starting point is 00:34:19 So we don't know who that is yet, but I guess we'll find out today. Big meet your Corey Miller. Which one? Who y'all got your money? Neither. Neither. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:32 But that would be interesting. Max B? Nothing? Nothing happening? Mm-mm. Okay. All right. Now, remote-only school requests
Starting point is 00:34:41 have jumped by 40,000 in just one week. And they said Hispanic families account for the highest number of those who are choosing that format, according to the new Department of Education data. They comprise 40 percent of the overall Department of Education population. They accounted for 37 percent of those who want fully remote instruction. So people are now saying, I don't know about this. I want to opt out of that hybrid instruction model and just do remote only. So as you can see, you know, with coronavirus spreading, as kids are going back to school and schools getting shut down,
Starting point is 00:35:16 I guess we'll see a lot more of this coming up. You guys have important decisions to make. Yeah, I went by the school yesterday I went actually by my kids school yesterday To ask them to figure out what was going on And they're breaking Over here they're going to be breaking the classes down So it's not going to be that many kids per class
Starting point is 00:35:34 They're going to break them into two So it's not going to be as many They're going to be doing both I'm still leaning towards no But I'm a little bit saying You know what? Maybe give it a chance. Give it a try so my kids can have some type of normalcy.
Starting point is 00:35:49 I don't know about you. I figured out what I'm going to do. We had a family conversation yesterday. I figured out what I'm going to do. I think. What's that? You ain't going to tell us? I'll tell y'all tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:36:00 I'm not sure. But I think I figured out what I'm going to do it felt good yesterday you know my daughter is 12 I trust her instincts as well her instincts matter, her intuition matters you know what I'm saying so based off the information that I got yesterday
Starting point is 00:36:17 about what the school is planning to do and based off what she wants to do it felt good so I'm going to see how I feel about it for the rest of the day. What about the younger ones? That's the tough one, man. The five-year-old is the tough one, you know, because she loves going to school,
Starting point is 00:36:33 but I just can't see them sitting in the classroom with a mask all day long. But they're talking about the same thing, reduced number of students. So we'll see. I haven't gotten to the five-year-old. All right, well. I don't trust her. Thanks. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Starting point is 00:36:48 decided they'll no longer hold in-person classes on campus after about 130 students tested positive coronavirus in the first week since classes began. So effective tomorrow, all undergrad in-person instruction will shift to remote learning. And the university also expects the majority of undergrad residential students to change their residential plans for the fall. They got to do something with their tuition.
Starting point is 00:37:12 They got to do something with their tuition. Like you pay tuition, you pay for the experience. But if a kid can't get an experience and it's only virtually, you got to get some of that money back. I think, right? At least for the room and board. Yeah. Hell yeah. All right. Well, that is your Front Page News. and board. Yeah, hell yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Well, that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Young Dolph will be joining us. He has a new project out right now. We're going to be kicking it with Young Dolph. Rick Slave. It's called Rick Slave.
Starting point is 00:37:38 So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building on the line.
Starting point is 00:37:52 We have Young Dolph. Yo, what's poppin'? What's up, Dolph? How's everything? Man. Dolph sound like he just woke up and just got home. One of the two. I just finished smoking one or the other, or all of them.
Starting point is 00:38:03 It's early, man. I feel like I'm in the studio in New York. Man, I thought we was going to leave half more time since we was on Zoom. So you just rolling out of bed 15 minutes ago or something? Man, probably about four minutes ago. I was in the bed. Did you brush your teeth?
Starting point is 00:38:18 Really? I just, nah, I did brush my teeth. You know what I'm talking about? I brush my teeth. I go to sleep when I get up. I agree with you, Charlamagne, because sometimes not brush his teeth. You know what I'm talking about? I brush my teeth. I go to sleep when I get up. I agree with you, Charlamagne, because sometimes when I brush his teeth in the morning, the first thing I do when I get out of bed is brush my teeth.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Sometimes we too late because I hang up front. I got to roll out of bed, get right on the air. I'll be late. I got to brush my teeth. Hey, Dolphin. Dolphin forget to put on that chain, though. All those diamond chains looking like a rich slave. I sleep at least. And one or rich slave. I sleep in these.
Starting point is 00:38:46 And one or two chains, I sleep in at least. For real? That's too heavy to sleep in that, dog. I just like how I feel. I remember when I used to be broke. You say that on one of the songs on the album. You still remember what it feels like to be broke. But what's the concept for rich slave, man?
Starting point is 00:39:03 Man, it's just a black person living in today's society basically because even even if you're still rich you're still in is what you're saying basically a lot of people don't feel like they booze or like they made it or now i ain't no slave and all that but it's just like i told my partner i told a couple of my partners one of them got a mclaren and one of them got a Rolls Royce. You know what I'm saying? They were like, they're going to take my heart, but I ain't. I was like, yeah. I was like, you're a rich lady too. They swear they ain't no rich lady. I was like,
Starting point is 00:39:31 bro, go to South Memphis. Go to Black Haven. Go to North Memphis. Ride around in your old neighborhood for about an hour straight and tell me if you don't get stopped by the police. I said, I'll give you a million dollars if you don't get stopped by the police. Now, I saw that a few months ago you had talked about retiring, spending more time
Starting point is 00:39:47 with your son, with your family, and all of that, but then later on you said your son said you can't retire because he needs you to be a rapper. Well, the pandemic hit. He spent all the time in the world with his son the last five months. What was that conversation like for real with your son? What did he say to you?
Starting point is 00:40:03 There was new music. He just listened to my music. I'd be going to the studio. He son? What did he say to you? There was new music. He just listened to my music. I'd be going to the studio. He called my work. You went to work. You're like, can I listen to it? Then one day he was just like, are you going to put out new music for everybody to listen to? So I wish he was here.
Starting point is 00:40:17 He just went to school like an hour ago. Wow. What was that decision like for you to send your son back to school? Because I know a lot of people have been struggling with that, just with coronavirus and everything. So what was that conversation like, too? It wasn't no conversation. He just said, man, he going to school.
Starting point is 00:40:35 He was like, I want to go to school. How old is he? Is it full day of school or is it half day of school? They doing like three days a week. Three days a week in school, two days at home? Four kids in the classroom. Okay. Oh, see, I could do some shit like that.
Starting point is 00:40:50 I wouldn't mind. I could send my kids back to school in a situation like that. Yeah, but, you know, I don't know. I don't know what to think no more. About what? About the whole pandemic, though? I think it's serious, but it's not serious at the same time. Like, for people that got health issues and old people out there,
Starting point is 00:41:11 I think it's more so at them, like, as far as the risk. But I feel like they blowing it up really big and what it really is. Yeah, you don't know what to believe during an election year, man. Everything seem like propaganda. Everything seem familiarized. That's my whole year, man. Everything seemed like propaganda. Everything seemed politicized. That's my whole thing, bro. How has it been for you personally during this pandemic?
Starting point is 00:41:29 Like, being at home and... Great. I know you haven't spent that much time at home like that because you were supposed to be on tour and everything. I've been loving it. It's been great.
Starting point is 00:41:38 I just don't like the part where people get me sick and people pass. You know what I'm saying? Because it's certain stuff I've been wanting to do for the last couple years, but I just ain't had time to do. Like what?
Starting point is 00:41:49 Man, like, really, brother, just being around my kids every day on a day-to-day basis. Like, I've been on the road doing shows after shows after shows after shows and working. I told myself, I told my whole team when we was just on tour, right before the pandemic came, I told them, I said, when this tour over, I'm going gonna stay in the house for two months like don't call me my little boy's six years old now so it's like you know I mean he got every question in the world that asks me I'm here to tell him on on until right you say um you ain't if your son doesn't want to be just like his daddy does that mean you want your son to be a rapper you want your son doesn't want to be just like his daddy. Does that mean you want your son to be a rapper or you want your son just to have your values? You know, I definitely don't want him to be a rapper.
Starting point is 00:42:29 You know what I'm saying? When I say you ain't s***, your son don't want to be just like him, meaning if he ain't got your characteristics, if he ain't got your morals, if he ain't got certain stuff that taken after you that he feel like it's just in him, you ain't s***, you fail as a daddy.
Starting point is 00:42:44 So does that give you a greater responsibility on how you move, the things you may say, the things you may do, because you know he's watching you so close? Yeah, but I just think I've always been that kind of person in a way. I think I'm a genius, really, on the low, Charlamagne. I think you don't get enough credibility
Starting point is 00:43:00 for your rapping skills, bro. I know I don't get enough credibility, Charlamagne, but it's only because I'm 100% independent and everybody's scared ready to give me that credibility. Everybody's really scared
Starting point is 00:43:10 to post an album, say something about an album, do this, do that. Not just rappers and artists, but bloggers and just the whole industry. Just people.
Starting point is 00:43:19 I see what you're saying because I see a lot of people don't necessarily post you like a lot of artists would, but you know what, too? They don't do it. But I'm going to tell you the funny part about it. They're going to DM me and they're going to hit me or text me or call me like, bro, this album too hard.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Bro, this album this, this album that. But they're not going to post on social media because, for the simple fact, they want to be careful about what such and such think and such and such think and such and such. The people you have problems with, they don't want to necessarily piss them off if they feel that way. No, it ain't even the people I got problems with, just period. It ain't people I got problems with because people I got problems with is shrimps. It's just point blank, period. You know, I came in the game just really popping it in like nobody never popped it before.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Everybody look at this like competition. I feel you. It's a friendly competition, but at the same time, it's a difference between competition and slick hate. Well, first of all, I like shrimp, number one. I don't know why you dishing shrimp, okay? That's number one. I love shrimp. I eat little shrimp.
Starting point is 00:44:14 I eat little shrimp. Man, they... I eat them. And I posted your album this morning, and the reason I posted it, because I had been talking about it this weekend. People was hitting me up like your Dolph album hard.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Like me and Duvall was texting like, boy, that boy Young Dolph album hard. And he was like, yes, sir. I was like, well, let me post it
Starting point is 00:44:32 because I don't want to say nothing like that privately. I'd rather big it up. Like, let me tell people this shit hard. Everybody think it's hard, but they ain't gonna post it.
Starting point is 00:44:40 It's weird, bro. Do you ever feel like you want to be on a major because I listen to that Rich Slave album and I feel like... No! But listen, though, I feel like a record like R&B. I feel like R&B with Meg Thee Stallion
Starting point is 00:44:53 should be all over the radio right now. It is the single. It is the single. I know, but who's working the record? I'm playing the record. I played like four times. We're going to be top 15 on the radio next week, Charlamagne. Next week, yeah. Top 10 in two weeks.
Starting point is 00:45:09 I was going to be straight. Every time I got in the car, the song was on the radio. I hear you, though. I understand what you're saying, Charlamagne. All right, we got more with Young Dolph when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Young Dolph. Yee. When it comes to features, though, right, let's say you ask somebody to be on the album because I see, of course, Megan Stallion, G Herbo.
Starting point is 00:45:36 But does anybody not want to work with you? Because obviously people like you. They think you dope. They like the album. But if you ask for a feature, would they say no? I'm going to keep it real. I don't know. Ask for features.
Starting point is 00:45:49 Because I be feeling like everybody going to pull the Hollywood card. Or I don't know. I just be like, Brian, don't even. Just do you. Because I don't know. I just don't. I don't do it. Because sometimes I feel like this.
Starting point is 00:46:02 People be posting albums because people will hit you up and be like, yo, can you post my album? And I do feel like sometimes it happens. And maybe you don't really ask for nothing either. You might be right. Because I don't do it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't post it.
Starting point is 00:46:18 Me, period. Like, everybody out my post, I don't wait for them to hit me or this and that. Like, I generally like, hey, this shit hard. Even if you one of them people that call me and be like, little bro, post this for me. I feel like when my shit drop, I shouldn't have to call you. Like, man, you know what's up. But sometimes asking for a feature from somebody that you like
Starting point is 00:46:38 or that you think would be dope on a song is good for them. So it ain't necessarily you asking for a favor. It's like a mutual thing. Like, this would be dope for you to get on this. Just like people ask you to get on a feature. I ain't gonna lie. I was finna get ready to reach out to Tunch. I was gonna hit Wayne and ask him to put a
Starting point is 00:46:54 verse on it, to be honest. But I just didn't do it. You know closed mouth don't get fed, though. You right, but that's like an ego thing. It ain't ego. You just don't want to ask anybody for nothing. I get it. I don't know. It's like, it's thing. It ain't ego. You just don't want to ask anybody for nothing. I get it. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:47:06 It's weird. I can't even explain it. You know what I'm saying? I just be feeling like I don't even want to go through the, if I ask for something or I want to do something and it don't happen, no matter what happens or somebody was busy or they didn't have time or they didn't this or that, I just be feeling like, bro, just don't even worry about it.
Starting point is 00:47:24 And I end up just, man, let me put another verse on in my own stuff. Ain't nobody harder than me. So what about Herbo and Nancy Stallion? Yeah. Yeah, how you got them on? This little bro, though.
Starting point is 00:47:33 You know what I mean? Like, this is different. Like, I rock with Herbo. You know what I mean? I've been rocking with him for years. You know what I'm saying? And when we was in the studio, we was in New York,
Starting point is 00:47:41 we just recorded a couple of songs. You know what I mean? With Megan, like, we was on the phone, and she was like, send me something, bro. Like, what's up? So I sent her that joint. Hey, I love the Death Row record, too, man. How much were you inspired by movements like Death Row coming up?
Starting point is 00:47:58 I think that was my first movement that I was inspired by. Because my parents, my mama loved them, folks. Like, my mama, my auntie, cousins, everybody. Snoop was just the rawest. Snoop was the realest. Park was hard. I love Park. He Park. But I was always attached
Starting point is 00:48:16 to Snoop. What mistakes do you think labels like Defro made that you would try to avoid for your situation? It's hard, man. Because you can't say take the streets out of it because, man, rapping and this music, hip-hop, it is the streets. I don't know. It was just the timing.
Starting point is 00:48:32 It was their era and it was the timing. People don't really give their road the respect, really. They should be getting it. I think because the run was short and everybody always talks about the end. It ended so tragically. People forget about how about the good like the end it ended so tragically people forget about how about the good times yeah i also think about though taking care of your artists because
Starting point is 00:48:50 when master p was talking about how he let snoop out of his contract and didn't take nothing from him how everybody came there and they had a house a car in their own name and i do feel like one thing with labels is when you have artists underneath you, you want to make sure everybody gets rich and everybody has their own and everybody financially is taken care of and that's one thing I would say probably didn't happen at Death Row. That was just
Starting point is 00:49:15 bad business. I don't want to speak on that. That ain't got nothing to do with me. That was bad business as far as what they put out and what everybody was on, like the music, the music, they killed it. Speaking of business, your business ain't been f***ed up since the pandemic, Dolph, like not going on the road. How has that impacted you?
Starting point is 00:49:33 Because a lot of artists can't survive. Why are you laughing, Dolph? This guy's crazy, man. Cool, man. I like it, bro. I ain't finna separate sugarcoat it. I ain't finna have my feelings to make everybody else feel comfortable. I like this.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I love it. You know what I'm saying? It's the pandemic. This is like the time that I prepared for from the beginning. You know what I'm saying? This is why I had to have my own record label. This is why I had to not focus on just being an artist or being in the booth. Like, I had to focus on, like, hey, how I'm going to talk to these people,
Starting point is 00:50:10 how I'm going to do this, how I'm going to link this, how I'm going to build a team that's going to, like, make stuff grow. Like, I don't know. I seen you giving away a Lamborghini, $450,000 Lambo. Yeah, when is it? When are we announcing that winner? I'm announcing the winner Thursday. I'm going to give away my Lamborghini. It just crossed my mind.
Starting point is 00:50:29 I said, man, I need to give away one of my cars. So then like a couple weeks before I even was like got my date together, I was in my garage to get on the four-wheeler. And I was getting on the four-wheeler and I looked at my car and I'm like, man, I'm going gonna get that car away my fans like everybody's gonna show me so much love bro from the beginning up until now to get me to the point I'm in and now like I just wanted to show some love back and let them know like I got real love for y'all like y'all got for me. Keeglock didn't smash these windows or nothing. That's what I was gonna say yeah I seen your artist smashing your
Starting point is 00:51:02 windows of your car what What was that about? Glock don't come over my house. Did you fight him after that, after he broke your windows? Was that one like, come on, bro, you owe me five minutes. We didn't fight. He got my stuff fixed. You know what I'm saying? They had to keep my cars and stuff away from around Glock.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Because Glock young, bro, he think it's funny. What's funny about smashing somebody's windows in? You know how much windows cost? Man, he think it's funny. He thought it was funny. When he did it, I was out of town. Yeah. He young, bro. Like, I don't see nothing.
Starting point is 00:51:36 What did you do when that happened? What was your reaction? Did you see it when we all saw it? I think I was 2,000 miles away on the other side of the country. So it was like when everybody else, I seen it when everybody else seen it. And then what? Damn. By the time I got back to the house, it was a couple days later.

Starting point is 00:57:40 bro, you got to have cash. You got to have cash. You got to have cash. You got to have cash. I've been on that mentality since I was a teenager. Last year, bro, you got to have cash. You got to have cash. You got to have cash. You got to have cash. Like, I've been on that mentality since I was a teenager. And just like last year, 2019, I really found out how important credit was. So with me having this mentality for all these years, I always wanted cash and got cash, got cash, got cash. So I also developed this mentality like, bro, you can't just chase money forever. Like, you got to enjoy yourself.
Starting point is 00:58:07 Like, what you going to do? You know what I mean? Okay, if you get $100 million, $200 million, $100 billion, you're going to keep on trying to chase money. Like, bro, I'm not going to chase all the dollars. Like, bro, I can't. I'm not going to do that. I'm going to live my life as well as get money.
Starting point is 00:58:20 You know what I'm saying? So f*** that money out of the lost, Charlemagne. Somebody experienced it. You know what I'm saying? So f*** that money out of the law, Charlemagne. Somebody experienced it. It ain't going nowhere. Alright. Well, it's Young Dolph. Al is out right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report
Starting point is 00:58:35 with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, it's been 18 years since Jam Master Jay, who was born Jason William Mizell, was shot and killed. He was shot once in the head at his studio in Queens by a mysterious masked man back in 2002.
Starting point is 00:58:56 The NYPD chief of detectives, Rodney Harrison, said he never gave up on this case. He's from Queens, so listen to this. Me being a native of Queens and being a big fan of Run DMC and Jam Master J making this arrest was very very important to me now the NYPD has released the names of the two alleged suspects Carl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington this is a major break in the case Carl Jordan Jr. will be arraigned for the murder and other charges and Ronald Washington
Starting point is 00:59:21 will be arraigned later this week so what they are saying the reason is allegedly is according to the indictment, Jam Master Jay was involved in transporting kilo quantities of cocaine between 1996 and 2002. And in 2002, he acquired about 10 kilos of cocaine, which was intended to be distributed by Washington, Jordan and others. But then he had disputes with Washington and a co-conspirator and Jam Master Jay then told him he would be cut out of the transaction. That's when, according to this indictment, Washington and Jordan conspired to kill him. On October 30th, they entered his recording studio with firearms and fatally shot Jam Master Jay in the head and shot another man in the leg, according to this indictment. So they are charged with murder while engaged in narcotics trafficking and firearm related murder. I mean, I'm happy that if they are the killers, they got those killers. I mean,
Starting point is 01:00:17 I grew up watching, listening and seeing Run DMC, me being from Queens, me going to school on Hollis Avenue, I would see them all the time. And being from Queens, you get to see somebody from your own hood become successful. And the fact that he's helped so many different artists from 50 Cent to so many, so many of them, so many DJs like myself, like Clue. So the fact that they, you know, that they caught their murderers, you know, excites me. And definitely rest in peace. I just hate to hear all the drug talk that they've been bringing up about, oh, it was cocaine and he was moving this. And I just don't like to tarnish the guy, to tarnish Jam Master Jay's legacy. He was a great dude from one of the greatest groups of all time
Starting point is 01:00:56 and just a great brother. Well, Carl Jordan Jr. was arrested Sunday. He pleaded not guilty Monday afternoon in a court appearance that was held via teleconference and Washington is in federal custody. He'll be arraigned at a later date. He said he was convicted in 2007 of Hobbs Act robbery conspiracy stemming from a string of
Starting point is 01:01:14 gunpoint robberies in New York City and Long Island. He was sentenced to 210 months in prison. He's scheduled to be released next year in April. Well, oh, and here's a statement from the family, by the way. They said, first and foremost, we want to thank everyone who has reached out in support of our family today.
Starting point is 01:01:31 We appreciate your kind thoughts and words. Upon hearing this news, we have mixed emotions. We truly hope that these indictments are a solid step towards justice being served in the murder of Jay. We realize there are other families out there who have lingering pain, who continue to wait for their own closure and we pray that this case gives them hope.
Starting point is 01:01:48 In spite of all the tragedies we've seen this year alone, we take comfort in our family, our faith, and in time's ability to heal all. We can only hope that this news brings awareness to the fact that black lives do matter. We ask that everyone please respect our family's privacy as this case moves forward through the judicial system.
Starting point is 01:02:04 That's horrible. Imagine thinking that you got away with murder and then 18 years later you get locked up. So that's just another prime example that you can never escape that karma. You can never escape that kind of energy that you put out. Eventually it will catch up. Imagine how thankful the family is now
Starting point is 01:02:22 to at least know that the people who committed this crime and killed Jam Master Jay will have some type of, there'll be some type of justice and closure for them, like they said. All right. Now let's discuss the Democratic National Convention. Donald Trump has his Twitter fingers this morning. He apparently does not like some of the things that Michelle Obama had to say. Here's a refresher. Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head.
Starting point is 01:02:54 He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is. Well, he tweeted out this morning, somebody please explain to Michelle Obama that Donald J. Trump would not be here in the beautiful White House if it weren't for the job done by your husband, Barack Obama. Biden was merely an afterthought, a good reason for that very late and unenthusiastic endorsement. My administration and I built the greatest economy in history
Starting point is 01:03:19 of any country, turned it off, saved millions of lives, and now I'm building an even greater economy than it was before. Jobs are flowing. NASDAQ is already at a record high. The rest to follow. Sit back and watch. The Obama-Biden administration was the most corrupt in history, including the fact that they got caught spying on my campaign,
Starting point is 01:03:38 the biggest political scandal in the history of our country. It's called treason and more. Thank you for your very kind words, Michelle. Now, he is right that, you know, he is a reaction, you know, to President Barack Obama. Having a black president scared half of America so bad
Starting point is 01:03:56 that they wanted to get America white again. So they picked the most racist, bigoted product that was presented to them in the form of Donald Trump. That is a fact. He was absolutely a reaction to it. I have no idea. I really don't.
Starting point is 01:04:16 I know the unemployment rate was at 40 million. I don't know where it's at right now. I know a lot of people have bounced back, but I don't know how much. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to?
Starting point is 01:04:30 You know, we need a publication called The American Spectator and a former freelance photographer for the NBA named Bill Baptist to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with them because they had some words for a vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris. We'll talk about it. All right. We'll get into that next.
Starting point is 01:04:49 Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 01:05:08 We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about sleeping your way to the top. Now, Charlamagne. We were just talking about that. Now, Charlamagne, there's been plenty of rumors about you sleeping your way to the top. You want to confirm or deny right now?
Starting point is 01:05:23 It hasn't been plenty, but it's been one. I think that happens to everyone. I have actually been accused of sleeping my way to the top, participating in gay sex to get here, to get where I am. By the way, I'm not at the top, okay? If you see
Starting point is 01:05:40 my 2015 Chevy Tahoe with two holes in the back bumper, you would say Charlemagne slept his way. say Charlemagne slept his way. If Charlemagne slept his way to the top, his bunkie and mouth game must be trash. But Envy, there's been rumors about you too. They say you're a bottom, so. I would never be a bottom.
Starting point is 01:05:55 I don't like pain. But Envy, they've said the same thing about you. Come on, your Wikipedia used to say that Clue took you in a basement. Clue didn't take me in no basement. I went in a basement. Y'all gonna leave Clue out of this, okay? I'm just saying.
Starting point is 01:06:08 Nobody believed that. But you had two. You had gay rumors, and then you had the ones where you sitting on Wendy Williams' lap. So you had two. Oh, yeah. They said I slept with Wendy too.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Okay. Yeah. I mean, listen, I think that happens to everybody, especially when you're black because oftentimes other black people don't understand how you got the way you are. So they give credit to the Illuminati or to you sleeping your way to the top, but never to God, hard work and not giving up. And it's amazing how the law of attraction, power of intention and prayer don't seem to work for us.
Starting point is 01:06:39 It always has to be some nefarious way that we got on. Now, what about you? Yeah, I think it happens to women the most though, I would say, because when I first started doing radio, I came from marketing and I was given the opportunity to do radio with no experience having done radio, but it's kind of what they were looking for is somebody who didn't already have experience. They wanted somebody they could kind of like mold into something that didn't have this preconceived notion of what radio was supposed to be like, because I was at satellite radio. And so when I did end up getting hired for the job, I remember a lot of people were saying things about me like, oh, I wonder who she slept with to get that job. As a matter of fact, my boss at Sirius even told me way later on that they said that about me at that job. Like, yeah, I wonder who she slept with to
Starting point is 01:07:25 get in this job. And so I just feel like, you know, the reason why they hired me was because I had great relationships, having done marketing for Eminem and his manager was like, okay, we'll let you audition. I can't guarantee you the job. And that's how I ended up even getting the audition. It wasn't guaranteed. And then they did end up hiring me, but it wasn't because I slept with anyone. And I remember just having my feelings hurt because it was people that I knew and I thought I was friends with who were saying those things about me that I never confronted them about it. But it's just I like to know what people say. So I remember other women even saying that about me. Well, that is how people justify their own shortcomings.
Starting point is 01:08:00 That's how people justify their lack of talent or their lack of skill. You know, jealousy and envy is a mother effer. So when you got that position, I'm sure that it was some men that was jealous and envious of you. So in order to make themselves feel better, they had to say, well, she only got there because she did X, Y, and Z.
Starting point is 01:08:17 No, you just were better. Unless there's proof. You've never explained the picture of you sitting on Wendy Williams' lap. Yes, I have. She said, I'm five, six. She said, get over here and sit down. Okay.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Wow. What are you talking about? That does sound inappropriate. Well, she's bigger than me. Is that all it takes? Is that all it takes? Get over here and sit down. Let's unpack this. Was that traumatic for you? Put the all it takes? Get over here and sit down. Honestly, let's unpack this.
Starting point is 01:08:47 Was that traumatic for you? Revolve, just put the picture up. That picture looks crazy. Jesus Christ. You look like Alicia Keys sitting on Bill Cosby's lap. When Bill Cosby was doing his knee. I remember that. Listen.
Starting point is 01:09:03 Oh, my goodness. But listen, all of this is coming out of a conversation we were having about this article that the American Spectator wrote, and the headline is, Why It Shouldn't Matter to Women That Kamala Harris Slept Their Way to the Top. And Bill Baptist, who's a photographer, he called Senator Harris the H-word. And I think it's extremely disrespectful that someone like Senator Harris. Yeah, that's all you can resort to. Yeah, but what makes it even more disrespectful is when you're when you're
Starting point is 01:09:26 somebody like senator kamala harris who has the education the political experience the experience as a prosecutor literally was an ag a da and a senator they questioned her and how she got to where she is with someone like trump with no political experience and limited education they don't get accused of sleeping their way to the top. Right. Like, what point started he sleeping to get where he is? Exactly. My goodness. Maybe he was using the little hands, the handout hands all over D.C.
Starting point is 01:09:51 We don't know. But I'm just saying, like, you don't ever hear that about somebody with no experience. But somebody with all the experience and all the credentials gets accused of, you know, having to do something nefarious to get the way they are. But not Trump? That's crazy to me. All right. Well, letfarious to get the way they are, but not Trump? That's crazy to me.
Starting point is 01:10:06 All right. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Jeff, man, out of JV of Florida. Hey, we're asking, have you ever been accused of sleeping your way to the top, bro? Yeah, man, back in the day, you know, part of the church, the deacon board, and people put my name out there saying I was trying to get people to, some of the women in the church, saying I was trying to get close to
Starting point is 01:10:34 the pastor. Whoa. They were saying I was trying to get close to the pastor. You said you slept with the pastor? Yep. Wait, you slept with women to get close to the pastor? The pastor was a woman, so they was trying to say I was trying to, you know, I wouldn't say the gigolo or the church to try to, you know, get close to the poor.
Starting point is 01:10:52 So what was the real story, sir? What was the real story? We wanted to be the Jezebel. Not the Jezebel, the Jezebel. We wanted to be the Jezebel of the church. I was just, you know, trying to, you know, get through the church and, you know, put my perspective on what I thought, how the church should be ran as well.
Starting point is 01:11:08 That's all. It wasn't nothing I was doing out of the way, bro. I was just trying to get my... I lost interest with this story when you said the pastor was a woman. If the pastor was a man, I would have been so intrigued. There's nothing there. 855-105-1. We're asking

Starting point is 01:13:12 Yes. Allegedly. But let's go to the phone lines. Charlamagne was playing horsey and he got a Zerbit on his stomach. And I was standing straight up while she was sitting down. You were not standing. We've seen the picture. You was on her knee.

Starting point is 01:13:56 Have you ever been accused of sleeping your way to the top?

Starting point is 01:14:56 Because of their power. Because they feel like they're next to this person that they think like, oh, that's the only way you can get to that person. And a lot of women in desperate situations, they they think like, oh, that's the only way you can get to that person. And a lot of women in desperate situations, they would be like, yeah, let me go through this real quick to see if this person can connect me to that

Starting point is 01:16:31 I, like, really came up to it. Like, it was a good time. But I moved to New York. So the husband never found out? No. He might have found out, like, later on. You know. You know. But, you know.
Starting point is 01:16:42 I don't know. Did he try you? No. Nobody tried me. Hey, listen, so y'all hit it on the head, man. We got to get Trump out. He's stealing these mail ballots and all that crazy stuff. I want y'all to hashtag wokeuprilla. Follow me.
Starting point is 01:16:58 All right, wokeuprilla. All right, bro, thank you, man. What's the moral of the story? I don't think there is a moral of the story, man. I just wish that people would stop giving the devil credit for what God does, for what hard work does, and for what not giving up on yourself does. And just remember, when people accuse you of these things, it is a form of them being jealous and them not understanding
Starting point is 01:17:20 why you got to the position that you are in. So keep on going and make them even madder. That's right. People will always bring that type of stuff up when it comes to you to try to justify their own shortcomings and justify why they haven't made it and why they haven't gotten to the level that you're at. So keep working.
Starting point is 01:17:39 Keep God first. Stay humble. You'll be fine. All right. Now, you got rumors on the way? Well, yeah. Along those lines, let's talk about Tavis Smiley. He's been ordered to pay $2.6 million, and it has to do with things that happened in his workplace.
Starting point is 01:17:54 All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 01:18:05 We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk TI. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report. This is The Rumor Report.
Starting point is 01:18:16 Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So TI was on the Fat Joe show, and he was talking about 50 Cent. You know, 50 Cent and T.I. Who knows? Maybe they'll potentially do a versus against each other. But here's what T.I. had to say. I love 50. That whole album with Jamie. How many songs was it? About 15?
Starting point is 01:18:36 About 15. That's a classic. It is a classic album. It is. It's a classic album. It is. It is. Even the intro, the two second intro. Everything. Everything. Everything. Classic. Bro, I got five classics. Three if you're being conservative.
Starting point is 01:18:52 Okay. Now, 50 went on Instagram and reposted the conversation, and he said, the man said he got five classics. It's too early. I'm going back to sleep. Well, it's a matter of perspective. You know, I always say T.I. is one of my top seven favorite rappers ever. got five classics it's too early i'm going back to sleep well it's a matter of perspective you know um i always say ti is one of my top seven favorite rappers ever he's got two certified classics to me
Starting point is 01:19:11 that i think we all can agree on and that's trap music and paper trail but then he has two very debatable ones in urban legend and king and one is based off if you from the south or not and that's i'm serious but i assume those are the five albums that Tip is talking about. And it's all about perspective because that didn't sound crazy to me for him to say he got five classic albums because he definitely got two and two strong possibles in King and Urban Legend. And like I said, I'm Serious is a down South classic, especially if you was living down South when that album was out
Starting point is 01:19:42 with Dope Boys and The Trap and Do It Baby, Sticky Baby and Panty Popper No. 1, still ain't forgave myself. His joint's on there. Yeah, I would love to see the battle. It's just never going to happen. I mean, that battle's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. But T.I. would win. And I love Fifth, but T.I. would.
Starting point is 01:19:59 I'm telling you, y'all sleeping on Clifford Harris. I'm not going to say that. You're sleeping on Curtis Jackson. Kanye has rebooted his Sunday service. I don't know if y'all saw but they've been posting videos From Sunday And Kim Kardashian said for anyone wondering Kanye's team took every precaution to ensure The choir's health and safety which is always top priority
Starting point is 01:20:17 It was filmed today without an audience The music will be shared soon for anyone Who could use some uplifting Right so listen As long as you're being safe about it. Like Dave Chappelle has been doing his summer camp. Everyone gets tested as soon as they get there. You can only participate.
Starting point is 01:20:33 You have to have the wristband on. Everyone that's been there, like Donnell, this whole time, he has to walk around with his wristband on, and then they get retested every few days. And Sunday service is is outside so it's better to do that type of it's better to do outside events anyway so yeah all right kanye also wants a christian monitored version of tiktok so he said he loves the technology he said a vision just came to me jesus talk i was watching tiktok with my daughter and as a christian father i was disturbed
Starting point is 01:21:01 by a lot of the content but i completely love the technology we pray we can collaborate with tiktok It's impossible. I'm not mad at what he said. I mean, because, you know, when my kids are on TikTok or when they play Roblox, sometimes some of the stuff that I hear that comes out of me, I'm like, and this is supposed to be children's? So, yeah, I'm not mad at what he said. It's impossible because it's a forum or a platform that anybody can sign on to. So it's not about the platform.
Starting point is 01:21:30 Who's going to monitor that nonstop? Exactly. How are you going to keep people from getting on there and just cursing or getting on there and showing their penis or their breasts, whatever it is. It's just like people go on there and do what it is that they want to do. Like, you can't keep people off that platform. You can't keep any of these platforms clean. It's impossible.
Starting point is 01:21:48 All right. The Ellen DeGeneres show right now, they have overhauled their senior production team. So three senior producers have been ousted right now, following allegations that have been raised in recent reports by BuzzFeed and Variety. And they have parted ways, quote unquote, parted ways with the show. The news was delivered to the staffers at Ellen yesterday afternoon during a staff meeting. They said Ellen DeGeneres spoke via a video conference call and she was emotional to the point of tears and very apologetic as she was addressing her staffers. That's more than 200 people. They said she told them she was not perfect and realized that in the effort for the show to run as a well-oiled machine, sometimes leaders were not as sensitive to human beings as they should have been. And she also said that reading these disturbing allegations about the atmosphere on the show was heartbreaking. That's about to be the greatest environment to work in because
Starting point is 01:22:33 Ellen is super, I'm serious, Ellen is super rich and she about to overcompensate and be so nice to everybody. Y'all bonuses about to be fire. Y'all holiday bonuses about to be fire. Y'all about to get longer vacations. You'll probably pay for them. That's going to be a great environment to work in. All right. In the meantime, Tavis Smiley has been ordered to pay $2.6 million to PBS, and that is for workplace affairs.
Starting point is 01:22:58 They said he breached his moral clause in his contract following a three-week trial. They heard deposition testimony from six women who accused him of misconduct. So the jury awarded PBS $1.5 million. That includes the cost and underwriting revenue for the last two seasons of his talk show. And then they have these additional damages under the morals clause.
Starting point is 01:23:17 So he has to pay back PBS and not the women? Yeah, and one woman was paid $325,000 to resolve a sexual harassment complaint. Another woman said she had a consensual relationship with him. And she said once she turned him down for sex, he reminded her that he was her boss. She said, I felt like my job was in jeopardy and that if I didn't do what he wanted sexually, I would lose my job. And she was later fired. And she said it believed she believed it was because others in the office learned of their relationship. Another woman said she was a paid guest on the show and she said she believed it was because others in the office learned of their relationship. Another woman said she was a paid guest on the show and she had some intimate connections with Tavis Smiley,
Starting point is 01:23:53 but that he refused to have her back on the show because she turned him down for sex. And they also have accused him of crude language at work, his anger, and his habit of yelling at subordinates and other issues. Interesting. And Tiger Woods, his 11-year-old son, won the junior golf tournament. So listen, it's a lot of pressure being Tiger Woods' son, but it feels like now his son is up to that. Charlie is his name, and he beat everybody in the age 11 category. So congratulations to him. Tiger Woods was there in attendance as well.
Starting point is 01:24:24 Now, congratulations also to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion. WAP is number one on Billboard. It's the first female rap collaboration in history to debut at number one on the charts. Listen to Cardi B's reaction. Billboard Hot 100. Number one! No, wait, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up.
Starting point is 01:24:40 WAP debuts 93 million US streams, the most for a song in opening week in history. Wait, hold up! WAP debuts 93 million US streams, the most for a song in opening week in history. Wait, hold on. WAP debuts number one on digital song sales chart with the biggest sales week of 2020. Drop on the Clues bombs for Cardi B going number one with WAP, her and Megan Thee Stallion. I love that. And the reason I love that, because I keep trying to tell y'all, there's nothing better than things that are polarizing. You know why?
Starting point is 01:25:07 Because the people that love it, love it. The people that hate it can't stop talking about it. All you people that were hating on this record, who had something negative to say about this record, who did your think pieces with no thought about this record, y'all absolutely caused this record to go number one because y'all were busy saying what y'all were saying about it. The people that loved it were busy defending it, and it creates this perfect storm that everybody's screaming the record,
Starting point is 01:25:29 everybody's watching the video, and look, numbers don't lie. She's number one. Because the numbers don't care whether you love or hate. Megan. Congratulations, ladies, and Cardi also sent Megan Thee Stallion a Hermes bag with a hand-painted tiger on it and a picture of Megan Thee Stallion. It says, be someone on it, and she signed it as well. And she said, thank you, Meg.
Starting point is 01:25:50 Really appreciate you. Love, Cardi B, 2020. The charts don't care what you like. The charts don't care about your opinion. You click on that record, it counts towards the screen. So if you're clicking on it just to talk negative about it and say how much you don't like it, guess what? You're still helping them win. Drop on the Clues Bonds for Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion.
Starting point is 01:26:09 Absolutely. That's why it's best to be polarizing, man. Just do you and let people have an opinion about it, good or bad, because it all works in your favor in the end. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, shout out to Revolt.
Starting point is 01:26:25 We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice mixes up next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

You know what's so interesting about the Radio Hall of Fame thing is so many so many people that we could thank, and I'm sure we will, when we have our acceptance speech on October 27th, I think. But I do gotta salute Cadillac Jack, gotta salute G-Spin,
Starting point is 01:27:54 gotta salute Q, gotta salute Sasha Katie, because those were all people that were with us initially in the beginning. Salute to my guy, Dennis Clark. M-Eazy also. I guess.

And congratulations to the radio. You're right. Okay. Congratulations to y'all for finally getting it right and inducting Donnie Simpson and Angie Martinez, Sway Calloway. And, you know, my man Humble the Poet said it the best about the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:28:34 He said this is long overdue, but also too early. And it does feel like that. But, you know, I've been doing radio for 22 years, 23 years. I've been doing radio a long time. How long have you been doing radio, Envy? Over 20. How long have you been doing radio, Yee? 16 years.
Starting point is 01:28:54 That's been a long time. You know, it's not like we knew at this. So, you know, congratulations to the Radio Hall of Fame for getting it right and inviting, not inviting, putting all of those black and brown people in the hall of fame. Cause we absolutely, uh, earned it. All right. When we come back, we got the positive notice, the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the breakfast club. Now shout out to Young Dolph for joining us this morning. Preach. I always want to say that when anyone says Young
Starting point is 01:29:22 Dolph. Preach. Yeah, shout out to Young Dolph. And what are you doing later on tonight, Ye? Well, first of all, I want to point out that today, Tuesday, August 18th, is a really important milestone in American history. 100 years ago today, women were granted the right to vote in the United States. So we are teaming up with P&G for a new podcast
Starting point is 01:29:41 in honor and celebration of this anniversary. It's called Seneca, 100 Women to Hear. So this show will also honor women who are pioneers like Madeleine Albright and cultural icons like Meghan Markle. These are women who broke barriers, who changed history, and they also built bridges across political and social divides. So this podcast is not just about profiling these really important women's voices and celebrating women's voting rights.
Starting point is 01:30:06 It's also about having conversations and sparking ideas that matter, that bring us closer together, inspire a little forward progress for all of us. So make sure you check it out. Seneca, 100 Women to Hear. It's going to come out today on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you listen to your podcast. So this first episode will be highlighting the voice and the work of abolitionist Sojourner Truth. So check that out. It's an important day today. And today I'll also be working with HBO Docs Club documentaries. You know, I was talking about that Yusef Hawkins documentary Storm Over Brooklyn. And that's something that was a big deal to me when Yusef Hawkins was killed. And that was back in 1989.
Starting point is 01:30:47 And, you know, he went to a white neighborhood. He went to Bensonhurst to go buy a car, and then a mob of white kids surrounded him, and he got shot and killed. So that documentary is on HBO right now, and I'll be talking with Unique Jones Gibson tonight at 9.30 p.m. if you want to hear that conversation. All right. Well, Charlamagne, you got a positive note?
Starting point is 01:31:06 I do. I actually just posted this on my Instagram because I want everybody to get this energy this morning. But just know that at some point in your life, you get tired of unhealthy connections, whether it be people or things. As you grow, certain things become intolerable to your liking, and that's okay.
Starting point is 01:31:23 Breakfast club, bitches! Y'all finished or or you all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory.
Starting point is 01:31:42 Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what
Starting point is 01:32:12 my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama
Starting point is 01:33:07 who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history
Starting point is 01:33:26 by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
