Last week, I was in Cannes Lions, you know, in Cannes, France.

I don't know, Cannes, Cannes, Cannes Lions. That was a work trip, though. I was there representing the Black Effect and iHeartMedia. And then, man, you know what's so crazy? A lot of stuff that I had lined up just happened to fall on this week because my wife is a huge Jill Scott fan. And Jill Scott performed her first album,

Who Is Jill Scott? at the Hollywood Bowl last Thursday. Yeah, out in L.A., right? So we flew from France to L.A. so she could go see the concert. And then this weekend

was the grand opening of the International African American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina. And, you know, that's home for me. But I also sit on the board of the International African-American Museum. And that was supposed to be in February. But that got pushed to June, which was last weekend.

So all of that fell on the same weekend. So I was in France, California, and then Charleston, South Carolina for the grand opening of the International African American Museum and now I'm back here now you back home yes all right well I was home in South Carolina but I'm back at my new home here in New York New Jersey there you go yeah well I'm out at in LA for the BET Awards the BET Awards last night I was doing the red carpet pre and pros got a chance to chop it up with a bunch of people from Boosie Badass who's out of jail. I saw that.

Chopped it up with, who did I chop it up with? Why your background look like that? They told me to blur it. Why? They told me to blur it. You look like you're

in a Pornhub video, bro. That's what they told me. They told me to blur the background. Don't just look like a Pornhub video. You look crazy. And then all you see is like the mic is blurred

so it looks like this big black thing is in your face that they don't want us to see. And it's right by your mouth. That looks crazy. You're jealous. That looks crazy. You're jealous.

But who else did I talk to at the BET Awards? Of course, I spoke to Master P. I spoke to Lola Brooks. I spoke to so many different people last night. We'll give you some updates. Did you see the BET Awards last night? I did. I enjoyed the BET Awards because I enjoyed the bridging of the gap between the OGs

and the new school. But I feel like a lot of people knew that the 50th anniversary of hip-hop was coming, but they didn't prepare for it. Because I feel like a lot of these,

I haven't seen a fantastic, phenomenal 50th anniversary celebration yet. And I feel like people had more than enough time to put one together. See, the thing about hip-hop is you can take all of those

classic artists and some of these new artists and put them on stage and it'll always be good. It'll damn near be great. But I'm talking about I haven't seen like that legendary thing yet.

Like, they didn't even have a host. Yeah, well, they didn't have a host. Kid Capri was pretty much the host. Kid Capri was the host. Yes, Luther Kid Capri. And I think so many artists are on the road. And remember, BET changed this a million and one times. At one time, they weren't going to have it.

Then they weren't going to have it. Then they were going to do it in Bahamas. Then they decided not to do it. Then they decided to do it in LA. That all lets me know that nobody was prepared. Because if it's the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, it should have been in New York, Atlanta. You know what I'm saying? Or LA, one of those cities that has been a staple in hip-hop culture,

you know, for a long time. And it wasn't LA, though. You know what I mean? It wasn't LA. But I feel like it could have planned it out a little bit better, like a New York or Atlanta maybe. Yeah, but they also had The Strike, too. Remember The Strike was...

What's that got to do with music? Well, you know, they had writers. They didn't have a host. And I think maybe they will do better for the hip-hop awards. Maybe. Maybe. We'll see. And I ain't they will do better for the hip-hop awards. Maybe. Maybe. We'll see. And I ain't seen no commercials for The Breakfast Club at all throughout the whole show.

But that's a, you know, a behind-the-scenes gripe. Let me shut up. I didn't see that either. Yes. But all right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Of course, we got front-page news popping off. Teslin Figaro will be joining us.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club on BZ. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, do I still look like I'm in a porn hub? I can't see you at all now.

All I see is Taz. What up, Taz? What up, Charlamagne Tha Guy, DJ Envy. No, it does not look porn hub-ish anymore. Well, let's jump right into it. Let's talk about this woman, Teen Charles, is deadly shooting deadly shooting outside west pullman restaurant now what happened in this case yeah 35 year old carlicia hood and her 14 year old son are facing murder charges in the fatal shooting of 32 year old jeremy brown in the west pullman neighborhood and that neighborhood is located in the far south side of chicago prosecutors say that

hood was in line getting food while her son waited inside their car. Both Hood and Brown were in line and they started to argue. A lot of you guys may have seen this on social media because of a big topic of discussion over the weekend. Hood started texting and pointing to her son while a witness was laughing and encouraging Brown. The son arrived at the doorway as the argument turned into a fight with Brown punching Hood in the head three times. That's when the team pulled out a firearm and shot the victim in the back. Let's listen to the quick exchange between the two and then I want to give you guys some more information and then we'll discuss. Get your food. Get your food.

If you say one more thing, I'm going to knock you out. Oh my God, if I say one more thing, I'm going to knock you out. What are you talking about? Say one more thing, I'm going to knock you out. What were they charged with, Tess? So before I get to that, let me just give you a couple other things. Brown fled the restaurant and the prosecutors are saying that the mom instructed him to continue shooting at Brown to kill him. Now, he was shot twice in the back.

He later died from his injuries. But I also want to point out that the family is saying that she did not instruct him to shoot Brown to further, you know, continue shooting him as he ran away. So as the story stands stands it is still developing um also want to point out that neither hood or her son had a previous record hood did have a license to carry a firearm and thanks for asking what they were charged with um they were both charged with first degree murder again she did have a valid license and during the bond hearing because i want to give everybody as much information as you can so you can argue with it in the comments. Cook County Judge Barbara Dawkins noted that according to the allegations, Brown did punch Hood, but that he was killed as he was trying to escape the restaurant.

So remember, he shot once in the restaurant. Then when he ran out, he was shot again. Now, the judge said that the threat was over at that point and that things may turn out differently at the trial. But at this point, it is first degree murder because he was no longer a threat. And I also want to point out that Judge Dawkins is a black woman. Why am I bringing up race? Well, the reason I'm bringing up race is because there's a lot of commentary that's saying, you know, police officers are not held to that same standard when they kill black people who are running away and the threat is over as well.

So just wanted to give you all you know, all of that information. What do you guys think? I don't understand why he was charged. I really don't understand why he was charged. Well, I mean, I kind of do. I do wonder what the legal definition of self-defense is according to Illinois law. Because, you know, even growing up in a place like South Carolina, I believe it is staying in the ground.

They always told us, like, if somebody came in your house, you could defend your house. But if they was running away, you couldn't shoot them in the back. I've always heard that. Yeah. Yeah. They always say my whole thing is it's a 14 year old boy. And this grown ass man punched his mother. What?

Twice. Oh, we know. Listen, more morally. We know. I don't I don't think he did anything wrong. I'm just trying to figure out the legal. OK, well, let me give you that because I have that pulled up. So when we talk about the legal definition in Illinois, it has to be there is intimate danger or threat to you, someone else or your property. The threat was unlawful.

You believe that a danger existed that required force and you use force that is equal to the threat. But there's also, you know, another part of the law that says you cannot claim self-defense if you are the aggressor. You cannot overreact or act unreasonably in defending yourself. So there's two levels of force, regular force. That is something that prevents someone from moving or actually normal or acting normally. And deadly force, force that causes or is intended to cause serious bodily harm or death. So the judge is saying that you know maybe in trial you know you might it things might turn out differently but because he was running away

and he was murdered as he was running away that was the issue i do believe if he had just shot him inside the restaurant this would be possibly looked at differently but it was running away and i don't know guys if they have any audio of her saying, hey, go shoot him, go kill him or not. That's why I'm being very careful in how I deliver this story, because I'm assuming because they had video of everything else. So I don't. But the family said she did not do that. And then they also said that she had threatened one of the witnesses as well, that she was saying, you know, hey, kill the witness. But obviously that didn't happen. But again, these are all allegations as the story continues to come you know and continue to develop somebody punch your mama what you're supposed to do absolutely you know i'm saying like but then you're a 14 year old boy it's not like you're a grown-ass man somebody might punch your mom in the face

and then they start running you're just firing that's right a grown-ass man punching your mom in the face nah he's a 14 year old do you believe that she should be in jail and the son should not be in jail or what what do you guys because she should be in jail and the son should not be in jail? Or what do you guys... I don't believe... Because she definitely got charged with delinquency of a minor. I don't believe

either one of them should be in jail, especially if the gun was, you know, legal. But I do understand the aspect of the law where, you know, he was running away.

But I think once he goes to trial, I think that'll... He'll beat that. Unless the mom kept saying, keep shooting and kill him. If the mom kept saying, keep shooting and kill him, then that's a different scenario. But all he did was protect his mom now do you think that it

uh that other people should have intervened just quick question before we close out because that was also a discussion saying that other people should have said hey sis you know leave it alone or should they have could that have saved the the this tragedy from happening i always think people should intervene when they see a man beating on a woman in public you know what i'm saying even if you see a man you know raising his voice to towards a woman in public like you know depending on the situation because i don't know if they they're not a couple clearly but if you see like a strange man yelling at a woman and the woman looks like she's in duress yeah somebody should be like hey man y'all relax take that somewhere else or bro bro take that somewhere else i always think that but not even hey sis leave it alone i mean all she was doing they were just having a con they were arguing

back and forth he was saying something she was saying something and i but he did threaten her though once once yeah he couldn't he couldn't return his words so he was like if you keep talking i'm gonna punch you and that's when somebody should have been like yo yo yo yo cool out relax and i i totally agree with the other side of the argument just telling you what people are saying in the comments was saying you know why should people risk their lives and get involved in something and not make it home? Because there were men that were there that literally ran, you know, away from the scene. Well, that is front page news. Tez, we'll talk to you in a couple of minutes.

Absolutely. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. Tell us how your vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. Tell us how your weekend was. It's The Breakfast Club.

Patty, like the last woman standing. Who else going to do it? One of these young girls going to do it? One of these young girls going to do it, and then y' girls going to do it and then y'all going to kill them? Beyonce was on tour and you know how it is. Patti probably practiced. She probably thought she had it and when she got on that stage, she just forgot. There was a teleprompter.

Look, give Patti some slack. Yeah, and it's not too many show women out there anymore. Tina Turner is a show woman. Patti LaBelle is a show woman. Yes, you got singers out there that can sing, but Tina Turner was a show woman. Patti LaBelle is a show woman. Yes, you got singers out there that can sing, but Tina Turner was a show woman. We could have got

Janelle Monae for all I care. You can put her little black and white tuxedo on and Kimmy Dane. Y'all would have killed Janelle Monae if she didn't hit them vocals the way that y'all wanted her to. Y'all would have killed Janelle Monae if she came out there. Patti was the right person to do it.

And I don't have a problem with her missing lyrics because she 80 years old. Patty LaBelle forgets lyrics. Joe Biden forgets he's president. Respect the elderly, y'all. Facts. Facts, facts, facts. Goodbye, Trav. Get it off your chest.

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 are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia.

I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.

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.

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. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone.

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 Claudette Colvin. 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. It's a new day. This is your time to get it off your chest. Wake up. Whether you're mad or blessed.

It's time to get up and get something. Call up now. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. This is Red. Red, what up? Get it off your chest, bro. Yes, sir.

We have a breakdown in society. That's why the young man had to defend his mom. All those fellas in there, they should have stood up for our woman. I agree. I agree, my brother. Listen, man, I can see both sides. I can see both sides.

I definitely think that they should have stood up. But then I could also be saying, look, man, I don't know what this dude got on him. Let me mind my business.

You know, I can see both sides. I get it. Well, I'm in law enforcement, so I can understand that. But like I said, you know, that young boy

shot the man twice, right? And people say, well, why'd he shoot him twice? How do we know that man wasn't running to his car to get his fire on? Exactly. You know what I mean? Once he punched my mom two, three times in the face, whoever he punched my mom's, everything's off the table at that point.

And let me ask you a question, my brother. You say you were in law enforcement. Is there like, I know you know how they got like crimes of passion. Is there something like that in regards to family? Like you hit my mom or my grandma or my child, you know i mean and i flip out well well i can only speak from a personal standpoint on that if you put your hands on my mother at 14 i'm going all out and i really don't care about the consequences legally um he can't be really held responsible except for the fact that he shot him twice. Now, what if they found a firearm in that guy's car?

You know what I mean? Because we don't know what that guy was like. Oh, he was running. He shouldn't have punched my mom. It's a whole bunch of what ifs. But, you know, South Carolina doesn't have a stand your ground like Charlemagne was telling you. But I believe that incident happened in Illinois. It did.

It's a size and weight thing when you go to court. The band could have been 6'2", 6'5", 400 pounds, and his mom could have been only 5'8", and 135 pounds. So it's going to be a whole lot of factors that play how they get charged and stuff. South Carolina does have a type of stay-on-your-ground law, though. It says, South Carolina,

which removes the duty to retreat before using deadly force and self-defense when a person is not engaged in unlawful activity. I don't even know what that means. I just was always told, you can't shoot nobody in the back. No.

If they're in your house and you pull your gun on them and they try to flee, you can't shoot them in the back. That's what I was always told. Even if they got your jewelry, even if they stole something, you can't shoot them in the back of the no coming if they're in your house and you pull your gun on them and they try to flee you can't shoot them in the back that's what i was always even if they got your jewelry even if they stole something you can't shoot them in the back tez tez has a hand up what up tez i just wanted to tap in just to uh answer your question you asked about crime of passion uh so i looked it up in illinois uh that is it must be a form of conduct by the victim or another person that will cause a reasonable person to become inflamed with passion and cause him to act from a moment of passion rather than reason.

So wouldn't that count in this situation? 14 years old. You hit my mom. My mom. I think I think once it all flushes out, I know people keep talking about the 14 year old, but I think once it all flushes out, the 14 year old will be OK. This is probably going to be more on the mother for delinquency of a minor. I don't know if she'll be charged if the murder uh for delinquency of a minor um i don't know if she'll be charged if the murder you know if how that'll flush out with her but once they

go to trial again guessing we're all just guessing and discussing but i think the 14 year old uh will will ultimately be okay but to you guys point should he be in jail right now uh i would say you know probably not is what most people think Just let them go to court and see what happens. All right. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up now.

We got rumors on the way. Of course, BET Awards was last night. If you didn't see it, well, we got some updates and some performances and some things that went down last night. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's D. Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk BET Awards. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I am gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on the Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes. On the Breakfast Club. Now, last night we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes. On The Breakfast Club.

Now, last night was the BET Awards show. Honored Busta Rhymes and, of course, 50 Years of Hip Hop. There was a lot going on. There was no actual host because of the writing strike. So, I don't like it. The original host pulled out. Yeah, Taraji P. Henson. I don't know. Was it Taraji?

It was Taraji, right? I don't know if it was Taraji. Yeah, it was Taraji. But my thing is, if you knew it was going to be 50 years of hip-hop, why would you have somebody from Hollywood hosting anyway? If it was 50 years of hip-hop and you're playing to celebrate 50 years of hip-hop, you should have had somebody from the hip-hop world hosting. Yeah.

Well, they had Kid Capri hosting. It wasn't a formal host, but Kid Capri actually held down everything. He pretty much curated the whole show. He had the West Coast, the South. He had the East Coast. He had every different genres of music. He had the dance phase. He had the crunk phase.

He had the West Coast phase. And he did a good job doing it. They also honored Busta Rhymes. And Busta Rhymes, you know, probably one of the greatest hip-hop performers that we've ever seen. He got a chance to speak when he got his award, his Lifetime Achievement Award. One thing that I need y'all to know, we're going to stop these little petty beefs that we be doing in rap. Y'all messing up the bag.

Y'all messing up the energy. I don't like when I talk to these dudes that run these streaming platforms and they talking about, you know, we turning the consumer off because there's so much little this and little that going on with you rappers. We're going to stop that.

We're going to love each other. And we're going to get to this money. You know, executives, start promoting everything that can be great in the music, too. It ain't just got to be about the ass shaking and how much drugs we sold and how much dudes we tied up. How much drugs we doing. how much dudes we tied up, how much drugs we doing. You know what I'm saying? I'm from the Chuck D era and the Kane era, but I'm a timeless great. I rock with all of my new artists.

Everything about me is leading the new. That's why my group is called Leaders of the New. Dropping a clues bomb for Busta Rhymes. He's absolutely right on everything that he said. And, you know, that's where you got to salute BET because a lifetimeetime Achievement Award like that for a great artist like Busta Rhymes could only happen on a platform like a BET. You know what I mean? Absolutely.

Because BET is culture and has historically been culture. And they understand the importance of somebody like a Busta Rhymes and the significance of somebody like a Busta Rhymes. I can't see no other award show doing that for Busta Busta, even though it's long overdue for him to get his flowers in that way. I agree. Yeah, well, Buster did speak for about 10 minutes, and then he performed for 20 minutes doing a medley of all of his hits, and this is one of them where he performed Ante up with M.O.P. and Remy Ma. M.O.P. looked mad healthy.

Drop one of the clues, Bob, for M.O.P. Shout out to M.O.P. When you get older, young bucks, that's what y'all going to be looking for. You're going to be looking for who looks healthy and who don't. Like, who got the red in their eyeballs, you know what I'm saying? Who look like they got their gut health in check. M.O.P. look like they got all their gut health in check and everything. Salute to M.O.P.

Absolutely. Now, he also performed Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See, that classic. Oh, I love that. Didn't Coyle Ray come on after that? Yeah, Coyala ray came out and did uh girls or players too that's right i love the way they were bridging the gap between the uh the ogs and the new the new the new and the new artists i loved it absolutely he also brought out scarlet which is a new new york artist and buster had all of his kids but one scarlet definitely

was scaring all the hoes she was scaring all the bros, too. Okay. A love of energy. Love of energy. Yes. And Busta had all his kids there. He introduced me to all his kids. I seen him on the red carpet. Got a chance to talk to Busta. He came with Swizz, Marlon Wayans. And it was just a dope, dope tribute to Busta Rhymes.

So, salute to Busta Rhymes. Now, also, something that I thought was amazing was the Migos performed together. Quavo. Oh, man. Loved it. And Offset got together after publicly beefing, but they did it last night for Takeoff, and it was dope.

We got a snippet of that. You know something? We ain't really never had no old money. You ready, Sid? Let's do it. We got a whole lot of new money, though. One. One, two, three, let's go.

I'm not going to lie. I don't know if it's because I'm a cancer and my born day is on June 29th, but I got my feelings when I saw that. I got my feelings when I saw Busta Tear up, and I got my feelings when I saw Offset and Quavo on stage. I'm like, that's what I'm talking about, my brother. That made me so happy.

I ain't going to lie. And they kept that under wraps. The fact that they came out and performed was just totally dope. The crowd went crazy. I think everybody went crazy. I love seeing it, man. Now, Uncle Luke also performed last night. I just brought tears to my think everybody went crazy. I love seeing it, man. All right. Now, Uncle Luke also performed last night.

Oh, I just brought tears to my eyes, too, because I was like, man, this was such a great era that we can never go back to because of this goddamn cancel culture. That's right. And Uncle Luke performed. Oh, Lord. Let's see a snippet of it. Hey! Drop on a Clues Bump for Uncle Luke.

Uncle Luke going to get his Just Do, goddammit. Uncle Luke going to get his documentaries, and Uncle Luke going to get his biopics, and they going to be raw, and they going to be edgy, because that's what Uncle Luke going to get his Just Do, God damn it. Uncle Luke going to get his documentaries, and Uncle Luke going to get his biopics, and they going to be raw, and they going to be edgy, because that's what Uncle Luke and 2 Live Crew was, and we don't want y'all coming out here trying to cancel Uncle Luke for nothing. Mind your little young-ass business, okay? And let those of us from the 1900s live our lives. Now, also, Patti LaBelle, she did a tribute to Tina Turner,

and she forgot some of the words. They should have had Patti in theelle, she did a tribute to Tina Turner. And she forgot some of the words. They should have had Patti in the Uncle Luke tribute. First of all, y'all going to stop disrespecting Patti LaBelle. Patti LaBelle didn't say she forgot the words. She said she couldn't see the words. She couldn't see. She's 79 years old. She ain't had her glasses on.

All right? Somebody should have pulled the prompter a little closer. That's BET's fault. That ain't Patti LaBelle's fault. That's BET's fault. All right? And she's forgotten her own lyrics on stage. Patti LaBelle done forgot the national anthem before.

Okay? She's a 79-year-old woman. Put the goddamn prompter closer so Patti can see. What's wrong with y'all, BET? All right? All right. And that was your rumor report. And when we come back, of course, we got front page news next.

Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. What were your thoughts on the BET Awards last night? Did you see it? What did you think? Let's talk about it when we come back. We got front page news next and we're going to take your calls. It's The Breakfast Club.

Subscription required. Visit max.com. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, let's get in some front page news. Tess and Figaro is back. What up, Tess?

What's going on, DJ Envy, Charlemagne Tha God? Peace, Tess. Now, let's get right into it. Let's talk about this man accused of cutting limbs off puppies. What the hell? in Baytown, Texas. Now, he was supposed to appear in court last week, but he didn't because, according to prosecutors, the court couldn't find him a defense attorney willing to take on the case after reading the allegations that were so egregious. Now, after abusing the puppies, he went to the dog, went to the animal hospital. He kept changing the story over and over,

so they arrested him at the animal hospital. I did some additional research on this just to share some facts as I started digging into it, and what I found out is that animal cruelty makes up about 28 percent of all violent crimes and dogs are the most abused. Top five states with animal cruelty is Texas, Delaware, Colorado, Virginia, and Tennessee. So I thought this was just a really interesting story how you know no defense attorney was willing to take the case but yet you can find can find defense attorneys that eagerly take cases about human life.

So I wanted to see. I have a dog, by the way, so I just wanted to see what you guys think about the value of a dog's life versus human life and what is it about animals that people say, you know what, I don't even want to be a part of this at all, but would take a murderer who murdered a child or did something really, really bad to a human being. What are your thoughts on that?

Oh, there's somebody from PETA right now got their hand in the air dying to answer this question. I mean, is it the same notion, animal life be, I mean, sometimes it seems like animal life is valued more than human life, but is it the same? Should it be looked at the same? I don't know, I'm scared to answer because PETA may come get me.

You know, I don't know. I just think it's interesting. You know, defense attorneys are quick, you know, to, you know, again, if we look at any case at any time, you really don't struggle with finding defense attorneys. So that's what I wanted to ask you. Should they DJ Envy? Let's put it on you. Should animals be valued more i think so i think you're a sick individual if you kill an animal for no reason if you're just going out here snapping dogs and cats neck yes it should be the same i have a i have a dog uh and i do know in jersey they take those laws seriously when it comes to animals and they will lock you up in a

minute even if you don't uh contain your animal well enough so yes when it comes to people killing animals for no reason now if it's self-defense then we can have a conversation but if you don't contain your animal well enough. So, yes, when it comes to people killing animals for no reason, now, if it's self-defense, then we can have a conversation. But if you're just cutting off dogs' limbs and snapping animals' necks for no apparent reason, you're a sick and dead man. What if it's for food? Because my question is, what's the difference between dogs and other animals? For example, the chickens, the turkeys, the cows.

Is it okay to kill animals that we eat because they get mutilated too i used to have to chase chickens with my grandma and catch them chickens and grab them by the neck and then throw them around our head like pd pablo whipping his t-shirt you know what i mean so what's the difference is it just based off the animals we eat is it okay to kill them and mutilate i mean i really think if it's for food source to live yeah i think that's different but if you're just killing it for recreation, but see, but then that's a problem too. Because sometimes people go out and they shoot bears and they shoot bears for recreation. What if I like eating puppy?

What? I'm serious. I don't even know if there's a law against that. If I go to the pet store and I buy me a puppy because I like eating puppy and I bring that puppy home and I kill that puppy and I mutilate that puppy and I stir fry it and I eat it. Is that against the law? You're just a sick individual. I don't think. So you're not.

Okay. So listen, PETA and people that don't eat meat will say you're a sick individual because you do that to other animals. So what's the difference between the puppies and the chickens and the turkeys and the cows? Like, what's the difference? There is no difference according to PETA. That's all I'm asking. You don't have a deer as a pet. Says who?

You don't have a crocodile as a pet. But, man, the deer ain't bothering nobody. The crocodile ain't bothering nobody. If I go out in the backyard and shoot a deer and then bring it in the house and bake it, you know what I mean? Nobody got a problem with that. But if I do that to a stray dog? Nobody eats puppy. None of y'all are still explaining to me what's the difference.

But they do say people eat puppy, though, just as a point of clarity. There are, yeah. Dogs are a delicacy in some places. Yeah, it is. It's a delicacy in some places. Jesus Christ. I don't know the answer to this. You said what?

I don't know the answer to this. That's my point. I just want to know what's the difference. And yes, the dog meat trade is most widespread in China, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia. They say it's well organized with high numbers of dogs being stolen and taken from the streets, transported over long distances and brutally and brutally slaughtered. That's right. So, yes, in some places, dog is a delicacy. That's disgusting.

Well, on to the next. They say dog meat is also consumed for ritual and cultural purposes in approximately 20 African countries. So Africans eat a little bit of puppy, too. That's what I'm saying. It's going like, so, you know, we can't say that. Like, I just don't know what the difference is between, you know, dogs and other animals.

I would just like to know what people think is the difference. Well, you heard him, guys. Tap in if you believe that there should be no difference. And defense attorneys draw the line. Again, somebody can be murdered and they're willing to jump up and take their case.

But then the line is drawn when it comes to animals. That's what really brought my attention to this story. That's right. Shall we move on? Yes. Let's talk uh low test scores now let's talk u.s education a little bit talk to us now yeah i just wanted to make sure that people are aware of this that according to test scores released from the national assessment of educational progress which is the gold standard federal exam

the math and reading performance of 13 year olds in the United States has hit the lowest level in decades. The last time math performance was this low for 13 year olds was in 1990. And in reading, the last time it was this low was in 2004. So just wanted to let you know our children are suffering according to the new test results. Now, is that due to the pandemic or is that due to more kids using their tablets and phones for calculators and reading? Yeah, they did say that it did fall significantly lower during 2019 and 2020, which was during the coronavirus pandemic.

But the downward trends have begun years before the health crisis. So they said this has been going lower and lower and lower, you know, over the last decade. And just, again, additional research. I want to just point out that educators say that there's too much focus on testing. They point out that the content of the exams in many cases have little overlap on the material that's actually taught in the classroom. And then there's also other questions on uh students of color and how they perform on standardized testing and you know there's research with that so uh one envy i

agree with you uh the the education system has obviously we need a lot of help in that area but then there's also the separate discussion on should testing be the measure to determine where you know where our children are no No, it shouldn't be. Because all of us can have a bad day taking the test. Yep. That is facts, too. All right. Well, that is front page news. Thank you, Tezlin Figueroa.

And follow Tez at Tezlin Figueroa on all social media platforms. All right. Now, now when we come back, let's talk the BET Awards. Did you watch them last night? What did you think?

800-585-1051. It was a lot to talk about. I enjoyed them. To the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, which was all through the show. Something that I thought was amazing was Offset and Quavo back on stage together performing. I thought that was amazing. It was the Busta Rhymes tribute.

There was a lot going on. Let's talk about it. What did you think? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Daddy calling my phone. Tell her I made it.

It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, last night was the BET Awards. Out here in L.A., I was hosting the Red Carpet, the pre- and the post-show. There was a lot going on last night. If you watched the awards show, Kid Capri was pretty much the host.

He curated pretty much the music part of it and you know he did a great job he brought out the west coast he had warren g and e40 he brought out the south i seen jeezy i seen ti they even did a little dance thing with unc walk it out laffy taffy they swag surf and i just want y'all to know uh as a proud sovereign man all the south music has aged better than a lot of the other music from other regions. I just want to throw that out there. Ja Rule performed for New York. Shout out to Styles P.

He performed. Fabulous performed. Salute to Ja Rule. Ja Rule's music has aged very well. Okay? A lot of the music from New York doesn't age well. But Ja's music aged very well. Ja sounded great.

And you know why? Why? Because so much of the music from New York is so goddamn violent. Yeah, that's true. It's so freaking aggressive. I'm too old for that now. My back hurt. Yeah. You gotta salute

Quavo and Offset that performed together the first time after publicly feuding. They got back together and did it for Takeoff. Loved it. Which was beautiful. Loved it. Also, Coco Jones killed it.

She performed. Who else did I see? Busta Rhymes tribute. He brought out Coil of Ray. He brought out Bia. He brought out M.O.P. And he also brought out Remy Ma. He had an amazing show last night.

The only thing I wish the BET Awards would have done was just have made it all about the 50 years of hip-hop, which they did. But they should have had nothing but hip-hop artists. It should have been somebody from hip-hop culture who was the host. Like, you know, even though Busta was getting presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award, he could have hosted as well. You know what I mean? That's the only thing I wish they would have done because, you know, hip-hop has been so dominant as a genre all of these years and this year has definitely

been the era of women in hip-hop. So I just think that the whole thing should have been about 50 years of hip-hop. I mean, literally the whole show from top to bottom. That's what it should have been. Well, maybe they'll do that

for the Hip-Hop Awards. Maybe that's what they'll do for that one. But I thought the show was great. And we want to take your calls. 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? Hi, everyone.

Good morning, Breakfast Club. This is Lauren. Peace, Lauren. Lauren, what did you think about the BET Awards last night? I thought it was good. I've seen it all the way through. It had its good moments and bad moments But the major moments that I liked Was Busta Rhymes' speech

When he said Stop petty beast In the music industry But I also Believe it can be brought in To the black community in general If we all work together We can all create

Great things And I also believe black community in general if we all work together we can all create great things and i also believe everyone has different opinions but we should always respect people's opinions even if it's different from us we need to work together as a black community and if we learn that we can achieve so much it's always petty beast in our community and i just don't like seeing my community fail in any way oh i agree we don't gotta like each other but we don't have to hurt each other you know i mean just stay out just stay out of each other way that's right hello who's this? This is D. How you doing today? Hey, D. What did you think of the BET Awards? I thought of the BET Awards when

the first came out. It took me back to my high school days. So I was happy with that. And also, I was so happy with Busta Rhymes for getting his award too because Busta was always there at the awards. I mean, he was there from the

beginning and I want to give a big shout out to the DJ last night, Kid Capri. So I really enjoyed that BET Awards. So big shout out to Kid Capri. I spoke to Kid Capri after and he had to

curate that whole show. He had to make sure every verse was there so if you really listen, you know it goes from intro, then it goes to B Capri after, and he had to curate that whole show. He had to make sure every verse was there. So if you really listen, you know, it goes from intro, then it goes to Busta's verse, then it might go to Remy's verse. So he had to have all that ready and live. So he couldn't mess up one point. So salute to Kid Capri for curating that whole thing. Hello, who's this?

This is Al. Al, good morning. What did you think of BET Awards last night, brother? Man, I thought it was a little ghetto, man. That's the beauty of it, though. Yeah, but, man, we supposed to be doing more for the culture, man. You know, you got all these. It just changed up, man.

It's a different theme now, man. It don't look too good for the culture no more. It look like it's going downhill. Now, I will say this. I thought the BET Awards was supposed to be like the more classy event, and the Hip Hop Awards was going to be like the street event, the hood event, or whatever. But it looks like it's all coming to the same thing now.

I do agree. There's certain things that I see people do at the BET Awards that I know they wouldn't do at no other award show. Like, Lotto wouldn't take her shoes off and run on stage at the Grammys. You know what I'm saying? I don't think i don't think i don't think and i don't think tiana taylor's mom salute to nikki lover i don't think she would facetime tiana taylor you know nobody even wears the accepting award at any other award show i mean

i will say this i was surprised being on that red carpet because you know i usually do the red carpets and bt, usually everybody gets dressed. They wear tuxedos. That's why if you look at, I had a suit on. You know what I mean? I had, shout out to Boosie. Boosie had on shorts.

A lot of people had on shorts and t-shirts. But isn't that the beauty of the BET Awards? Isn't the beauty of it that even though it may look ghetto, we understand why Lotto was taking her heels off. She didn't want to walk up to that stage with them heels on we know her feet hurt we know why we know why we know why tiana mama no she took it off i think she was no i think she was fixing her shoe when they got called and she couldn't get it back on so she just took it off to run off and i really think tiana taylor was a

i think that was a google phone thing because i've seen a couple of you remember because if you really look they said this portion of the show was brought to you by google oh you think it was an ad yes i think it was kind of one of those ads got you got you got you so i think that was a ad see and that's that's good to know because people will be like oh that was that was that was ghetto i heard to do on stage and that was you know i'm professional she should have just accepted the award and kept it moving but it was it probably was an ad it probably was yeah yeah yeah i get it it. But usually the BET Awards, everybody suited and booted. And then the BET Hip Hop Awards, people wear whatever they want. That's usually how it goes.

To me, it's just like the BET Awards is just like a big family reunion. And we know us. We know us. We understand us. You know? So it's like certain things I see, I'm like, okay, they wouldn't do that at no other award show. But isn't that kind of like the beauty of it? Yeah.

Well, let's open up the phone lines, talk to you some more. 800-585-1051. Did you see the BET Awards last night? Let's talk about it. It's 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 are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

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 willingly gives up their territory.

I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

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 topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club talk about it morning everybody it's DJ Envy Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club

now if you're just joining us we we're talking the BET Awards last night. Did you see it? What did you think? There was a lot to talk about, man. I mean, of course, we mentioned Busta Rhymes already, but we had some of the greats. Like Big Daddy Kane performed. D-Nice performed. I'm trying to think who else was on that stage last night.

There was so many. MC Lyte performed. MC Lyte. Fat Joe. Ja Rule. Fr Lyte performed. MC Lyte. Fat Joe. Ja Rule. Franchise Boys. Trillville. Trillville.

The Brothers That Sing Swag Surfing. Fly is the name. Where was Crime Mob? I didn't see Crime Mob with Nuck if you buck. Diamond was there. She did Nuck if you buck? I don't remember hearing Nuck if you buck on that stage. I think they did it on a pre-stage, on a pre-show.

Actually, I think she performed. Yeah, she performed. I didn't see Diamond there. But V Buck on that stage. I think they did it on a pre-stage, on a pre-show. Actually, I think she performed. Yeah, she performed. I didn't see Diamond there. But let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Mylon. Hey, Mama. What did you think of the BET Awards last night?

I thought that, for one, I'm from Miami, so Uncle Luke's performance was A1 for me. Man, tell me about it. And Busta Rhymes, always a strong black leader in the hip-hop community and in community to not listen to this man would be criminal. So his speech was by far the most excellent thing I've heard in a long time. Salute to Busta Bust. Yeah, thank you, mama. Ying Yang Twins performed too. I forgot about the Ying Yang Twins. I didn Yeah, thank you, mama. Ying Yang Twins performed, too. I forgot about the Ying Yang Twins.

I didn't see Ying Yang Twins. When did Ying Yang Twins came out? They performed, wait. I did not see the Ying Yang Twins. Yeah, they definitely performed. Did Bone Thugs-Harmony perform? I seen them on the red carpet. I'm not sure if they performed.

I didn't see Bone Thugs either. All right. Hello, who's this? This is Isha. Hey, Isha, good morning. What do you think of the BET Awards last night? I think it was crazy that y'all was talking about it because I really haven't even seen them in years. Like, I watched it when I was like 15. I'm 30 now. And I didn't think it was something that we still watch because, I mean, BET is like whitewashed now.

So, it's not really entertaining. You know, we pretty much know who's going to get the award. Nobody really taught us who's ever going. So, I mean, I didn't know it was a good thing. Okay, hater. I'm not a hater. I love music. I love hip-hop. But I don't like that, you know,

glitz and glamour mainstream thing that it is. It's changed so much. It's not there no more. Well, that's what hip-hop is now, baby. Hip-hop has been mainstream for about 30 years now. I mean, mainstream, yes, but I mean, like, the whole vibe of hip-hop changed. When I was growing up, hip-hop

was one thing. It made sense. The music made sense. The songs had meaning. No, it didn't. Even the rap songs. Yes, they did. Even the rap. I'll be 45 on Thursday. I don't know why we keep telling that lie. Like, there was definitely some balance, but it's probably the same

balance that exists now. Yes, like, why do we lie like that? Why do we lie and act like we were so much better in the 1900s? No, we weren't. We had Onyx. We had Mobb Deep. We had Nori. We had By weren't. It was the same. We had Onyx. We had Mobb Deep. We had Nori. We had... By the way,

last night proves that. Yes. Because when Trick Daddy and Trina come out and do that, that sounds just as raunchy, if not more, than anything that's out now.

What are we talking about? Uncle Luke came out there and did, put your hands up high, your ass down low, now put that to the floor. You know what I'm saying?

He's screaming for oral sex. I mean, not in the clean version, of course, but you know what I mean? Like, stop. Like, why do we act like we were so much better in the 1900s? Knock it off. We weren't. Let's go to another caller. Hello, who's this? Yo, what up? It's Omar. Omar, what up? We're talking to BET Awards last night. Did you see it? What you think? Man, it was

dope, man. Hell, I couldn't see it, man. But my knees still aching, man, from all that dancing I did. Especially once they brought Luke on there. Come on, man. It was an epic show. Come on, man. I can't do it like you, Charlotte, man.

But, hell, I did it, man. But you know the reason I can still do it? The reason I can still do it is because I still practice. And I listen to Luke on a constant basis. I love that era I love the crunk era And I love That That

That booty That booty shake era You know what I mean I love that era Man when 6ix9ine boys Came out there To the left To the left

To the right To the right To the front To the front To the back To the back That's live That's live

Man I was in the bedroom By myself Looking at the door at the same time to make sure none of my daughters or my wife came in there and saw my stupid ass getting it. You know what I'm saying? Jesus Christ. And my wife would know. If my wife busted in the room and I jumped back and lay on the couch, she'd be like, you ain't here dancing to that damn look, huh? That's why your forehead's sweating.

Yo, let me. Yo, give me I want to give a Real quick shout out To my daughter It's her birthday Ava Daddy love you

Princess She turning six I'm here Man that's a beautiful thing Happy birthday to her You got a young little cancer At the house I got one of those too

You're the blind brother. Thank you, brother. I appreciate you, brother. Yep. Have a good one. Thank you, Ibby. I would love to meet you one day too, man.

I'm a big Giants fan. I got my white team, Freddie, brother. You're white. So you're Dominican? Get me out of here. You're Dominican? Get me out.

No, I'm Puerto Rican and black. We do all of them. Meringue, the bach. No, I'm Puerto Rican and black. We do all of them. Meringue, the bachata, all that. Puerto Rican and Dominicans both love to wear white jeans with a blue New York Giants jersey. Shut up. Goodbye. Thank you, brother. And what's the moral of the story, if there's a moral?

Moral of the story, man, I think BET does a great job. You know what I'm saying? Of course, we can always pick apart things that we didn't like. But overall overall we never forget how BET award shows make us feel and I walked away feeling good I felt great I thought it was a beautiful thing to see the old G's in the new school come together and never in the history of hip-hop have we had that the gap has never been bridged the way it is right now between the older generation and the

new generation and I think that you know we both can learn from each other because one thing i would love to see these new artists learn from the older artists is showmanship i love seeing koala ray come out there with her dances and she's actually putting on a show you know what i mean killed it she killed it too i like i love i love those performances i even like when scarlet came out there and started wilding even though she was scaring everybody you you know what I mean? It still was like the energy was high. She was bouncing on the stage. Yeah, I like that.

I like the showmanship of it all. So that's what I would love the new artist to learn from the OG showmanship. Absolutely. All right. Now, when we come back, we got your rumor report. We got to discuss something else that people are talking about that happened at the BET Awards with JT and Lil Uzi Vert. We'll get to that as well. It's the Breakfast Club on BET.

When we come back. You come do that event for free, we might get it back for you. Maybe, maybe, maybe get it back. When we come back, we got your rumor report. We got to talk Jim Jones versus Pusha T. I didn't see this coming, but it's here. We'll talk about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jim Jones. Rumor has it. Rumor.

Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I am gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. On The Breakfast Club.

Well, Capo Jim Jones was doing a press run a couple of months ago and people asking him about, you know, Hip Hop 50, who should be on the 50 best MCs list. And Jim Jones talked about Pusha T shouldn't be on the list. And even when he came on The Breakfast Club, he had this to say. Can you sing along to five Pusha T records right now? His records.

Yes. I love Pusha. Nostalgia. Oh, he was a Pusha T fan. You know, you know. I didn't know he had fans like that. Can you name five Pusha T records? No, his records. Name a pushin nostalgia. Oh, yes, it's a fair Can you name five pusha T records No, can you know but can you wrap to five push? Okay, I can't wrap fiber. All right

I'm just gonna say that cuz I don't want to get it cuz they're gonna your gym way way well And I'm shot the pusha T. I love you. So my dog you did you not in my top 50? You might be in Charlemagne's top 50 and things like that You haven't done that much for me in my life like i didn't never want to be like push i didn't i never had a push a moment in my life not only is pushing top 50 pushing i could i think pushing might be top 20. yeah push it pushes up there um i can't wrap a a full push a record top to bottom but i can't wrap a a bunch of my favorite MCs top to bottom. Not at this point in my life.

No. I used to, could have. Back in the days. I can definitely do it with B.I.G. and Hov. Outside of that, I can't name five top to bottom, five records. No. I'd be forgetting B.I.G. and Hov at this point. Like, you know, certain words.

You know, once the song come on, I can do the cadence. You know? Well, Pusher was walking in the Louis Vuitton show, of course, curated by Pharrell. And while he was walking, this song was playing. And people are saying he took shots at Jim Jones. I will close your heaven for the hell of it. Jesus Christ. He said you're chasing a feature that's out of your element.

Talking about the Drake feature. Because that's the narrative, right? The narrative is that Jim is coming at Pusha because he wants a feature with drake that's at least the internet's narrative right now well jim jones responded and he did a full record rapping over the same beat i don't even know how jim got this beat because i don't even think the song is out i don't think he was rapping over the same beat yeah he said kanye gave you whips but that's what you do to the slaves let me tell you something I liked I liked Jim's response but here's the thing I don't think that's enough I think if you're gonna shoot that pusher you just got to go ahead and drop the nuke like you can't right you can't you can't just shoot like you just got to go ahead and drop the nuke now because that's what

pusher gonna do if if pusher replies and if if we're looking at the way Pusha has replied before. He's going to reply. Pusha going to drop a nuke off top. So I like what Jim did. I just don't know if that's enough. If you're going to engage, you got to like go-go. You can't fire any warning shots. And he went.

I like what Jim did. Yeah, he went. You got to go for the head. I don't know if he went for the head. Not yet. But when you say not yet with Push pusher you can't say not yet with pusher you aim for the head i don't do nothing yeah that's all i'm saying yeah and push the t was up here one time saying that he has about yeah i guess he said he has an arsenal of records just ready to to launch we have that we have that audio We have that clip where he talks about that Arsenal record

that he has ready to launch. I saw that circulating on websites, on the blog this weekend. People were posting that clip. I believe Pusha too. And it disgusts me that everybody else

was reposting it, but we don't have it for our own damn show. But go ahead, continue. Yeah, you know, everybody's in LA. I don't even think too many people up there.

Is anybody in the studio but you and Red? Eddie's here. You read Eddie? Yeah, but I just hope that that battle stays within lyrics. Why wouldn't it? Because Jim Jones is crazy. Put the truth.

Because Capo is crazy. Man, don't put that on Jim, man. That's just rap, man. Don't put that on Jim, man. Because Capo is crazy. When he said, I got enough money to send people to Paris. That's just rap, man. Don't put that on Jim, man. I think Jim is having fun. I think it's for the sport. I think he did the video. He shot it in Harlem somewhere.

I think he's just having fun with the sport. Let's not act like that. That's the other thing. I don't like that narrative either. I've been telling y having fun with the sport. Let's not act like that. That's the other thing. I don't like that narrative either. I've been telling y'all for the longest, Jim has been putting out some of the best music, or the best music coming from New York City for a while. Like, Jim gets busy.

I agree. You know, so I just think he's having fun with the sport. That's all. Yeah, but every once in a while, I think Jim is a drink away from going back to old Jim. So let's just keep away from him. God damn. How do you make it seem like he be drinking like that? No, I'm not saying he drinking at all.

Jim is very healthy, but I don't want him to get back to old Jim. That's what I'm saying. All I know is, I just can't wait to see what happens next. But I like what Jim did. I just don't know if it was enough. And I don't know if that's the,

I don't know if you want the tap pusher. I don't think pushing somebody, you tap, pushing somebody, you just drop, you got to drop the bomb on them and, you know, see what happens. All right. Because that's what push going to do. Yeah. And lastly, we got to talk JT and Lil Uzi Vert. It seems like they got into an argument. You should probably say that for the next one.

Well, we're going to be talking about that in a little bit. We're going to open up the phone lines and discuss that uh 800-585-1051 we're gonna be talking about arguments you got into in public so we'll get to that next but we got donkey today coming up what we're talking about man four after the hour we need uh ocean gate expeditions you know who ocean gate expeditions is by now right we need them we need them to come to the front of congregation we like to have a word with them all right we'll get into that next. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Damn, the hee-haw again. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I ain't trying to be Donkey of the Day no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm not making these people do these things. It's called Donkey of the Day, and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlamagne.

Who got the donkey of the Day and it really caught me off guard. Damn, Charlamagne. Who got the Donkey of the Day today? Well, Jess Hilarious, Donkey of the Day for Monday, June 26th. Sleuth all the cancers out there. Drop on the clues bombs for all the cancers. My born day is in three days, man. But yes, Donkey of the Day is going to Ocean Gate Expeditions. You know who Ocean Gate Expeditions are by now, right? They are the company behind the titanic expedition you know the expedition where you can get in the

submersible and go down and see the wreckage of the titanic which by the way i don't care how much money i got i don't need those kind of thrills okay i'm good i can see the wreckage of the titanic on google earth all right i'm also not the kind of person that wants to stop and watch car wrecks all right you know you see an accident on the side of the road and everybody stops and watches the driving by. That's not me. OK, I'm lying. We all stop to watch car accidents. OK, but the difference is they are free viewing and I'm passing by it because of a matter of circumstance, not paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to get in a submersible and dive to the bottom of the ocean to see it. Now, we should all know by now that the five tourists

all died in the titan bound for the titanic wreckage site rest in peace to those individuals but do you know while this search and rescue mission was happening ocean gate expeditions listed a job posting for a submersible pilot on its website i said as this search and rescue mission was happening ocean gate expeditions listed a job posting for a submersible pilot on its website you can't make this kind of stuff up they posted an ad that said in search of a submersible pilot marine technician who can help manage and operate our fleet of manned submersibles and support vessels we are looking for committed and competent individuals with a combination of strong mechanical and interpersonal skills who can work on sensitive marine equipment perform

regular maintenance and operate complex systems to support dive operations um ocean gate expeditions you forgot one very important requirement for this job somewhere in between looking for committed and competent individuals and strong mechanical interpersonal skills you gotta slip in must be willing to die all right see a lot of folks complain about being worked to death ocean gate expeditions want you to actually work to die and the irony is this is the perfect example of why we should never work ourselves to death at our jobs because they will replace you before they can close your casket in this case they already assumed these folks was dead they knew they hadn't even been found yet and they

already had ads ready to go for the job they posted a job listing for a job that is about to be vacant because someone is about to lose their life insensitive is an understatement that's like sitting at your partner's deathbed well and planning a date on tinder at the same time okay and i'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary nor am i the strongest avenger but after what happened i highly doubt that anybody is going to be jumping at this job opportunity the idea of working at ocean gate expeditions being a pilot on this submersible that's dead in the water okay literally and figuratively those five bodies those five souls that are no longer with us should be enough to shut the whole program down it's over not only will nobody want to work there okay there should be nothing to work at all right who is going to

continue to go on these expeditions after this let me tell you something man if you this rich to where you are still willing to take this chance then those rich folks know something about the afterlife or reincarnation that we don't know because ain't no way okay what type of pay what type of benefits would make me want to be a submersible pilot slash marine technician after what we just witnessed and let's be honest do you really think you have the experience do you really believe you have what it takes what are the job requirements for this job right now number one you probably got to be white because don't nobody take risk and thrill seek like white people you have to be into white adventures okay white boying is a real thing and y'all and yes i'm generalizing y'all the only

people i can see still taking this kind of risk so we've established the main job requirements you got to be white all right so the next one would probably be you have to have three to five years work experience as aquaman okay if you've got some experiences name or we'll take that too because being able to breathe underwater clearly is a requirement for this job all right and you must have amazing people skills well not actually people skills maybe fish and crabs okay because you got to have a great relationship with nemo and ariel and sebastian because that's what you're going to be down there talking to okay Okay, I'm just trying to figure out how did a survivor search turn into a job search?

And do you know, they put, I'm not making this up, they put must have a valid driver's license as one of the requirements. I am not making this up. This is all actual and factual. I just got back, okay? My brain ain't even working enough to make up

stuff like this they said you have to have a valid driver's license in order to have this job i need a valid driver's license to ultimately implode in a submersible please let remy ma give ocean gate expeditions the biggest hee haw hee haw heaw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. I'm also starting to realize that having a valid driver's license is just the default for everything in this country. What you mean? You got to have a valid driver's license for everything. Even for things you don't need to have a driver's license for. What do I need a valid driver's license for to be a pilot of a submersible?

Yeah, that's stupid. That makes no logical sense. Come on. That is stupid. All right. Well, that's stupid. That makes no logical sense. Come on. That is stupid. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. BET, we'll see you guys tomorrow. Peace.

Peace, BET. Everybody else, let's open up the phone lines. Decent job last night at the awards too, BET. Just want to say that. But I saw not one Breakfast Club promo or commercial during the awards show. Just want to throw that out there as well. I just figured they would have one. I didn't see one.

We're the only live show on BET. Don't try to rush the credits now and turn us off to put on a Tyler Perry show either, BET. I know what y'all doing right now. Okay? All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. So at the BET Awards last night, JT and Lil Uzi got into a,

it seems like they got into an argument. She allegedly threw her phone at him and she ran out of the air and he chased her. They got into a public argument. So we're asking, what's the worst public fight you got into with your partner? 800-585-1051. Again, what's the worst public fight you and your partner had out and about now? One of our producers said that they got into a fight outside of an IHOP, that he got slapped in front of an IHOP.

And that producer is also 400 pounds, so drop on the clues, mom, for his girlfriend. She said enough. Enough. Enough already. No more food. No more IHOP. It's over.

I'm not mad at her for that. 800-585-1051. We're talking the worst public fight Let's discuss, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning The Breakfast Club Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, if you're just joining us, this topic comes from JT and Lil Uzi. They allegedly got into an argument where she threw her phone at him, and then she ran out the awards, and he chased her. And we're asking about public fights, the worst public fight you got into with you and your spouse, 800-585-1051. Charlamagne, you and your wife got into a public spat?

Never. Me and my wife have never ever gotten into a public spat. Not that I can remember. Now, mind you, we've been together 25 years, but that ain't even our style.

That's definitely not her style and that's definitely, you know, not my style. So, nah, I've never been in no public spat. Yeah, me neither. Nah, me and my wife never got into it in the public if if if there is a problem a situation we just hold it down until we get home and then when we get home we discuss and handle what we got to handle at home but we never get into a public spat or or in front of anybody anything

like that we will hold our composure until we get back to the crib and then we'll discuss what we need to discuss. Word. But like you said, we've been together so long. I don't know if it was something early on, early on. I don't remember. I don't recall that. But that's not even my demeanor. That's not her demeanor.

So that's not even how we get down. I think that it either has to be an extreme circumstance for something like that to happen, or you're dealing with extreme personalities that wild out like that in public regardless you know i mean i've never i've never that's never been us all right well let's go to the phone lines hello who's this hi it's ramey hey ramey good morning we're talking about a public spat between you and your spouse you got one for us yeah got a couple but um i guess the worst one, like, it went too far. You don't get somebody involved with your kids that don't have nothing to do with that. So we got into an

argument. We told each other, the females, and take my kids and get in the car and drive up with them. I'm not, like, I'm a mom. You don't play with my kids like that. That's fighting words right there. So, you know, we got into a little fight. And it got really bad because we got a weapon. We done had fights before. I can handle my own. But down there, when you got a weapon, I'm being serious. What kind of weapon did he pull on you?

He pulled a gun. Jesus Christ. Hopefully, you left after that point or you called the police. You got out of here, right? I absolutely left. That was the last time we dated anything. I went into hiding for a little while. He was trying to track me down.

Jesus. I definitely left that situation. All right. Well, thank you, Mama, for sharing your story. Jesus. Hello. Who's this? Hello.

Hey, what's your name, bro? My name is Anthony Davis. Anthony Davis. We're talking about some public fights you got into, a public spat that you got into with your spouse. Talk to us. All right, so this one time me and my woman was going to the gas station,

and then we had some worries back and forth over some petty, I don't know, I can't really recall what it was, but anyway, so we get to tussle inside the car. You know, we swing at each other here and there. Then I get out the car like, I'm about to get some gas. He's acting crazy. So I go to the gas station. He get mad

and come in the gas station. We start fighting in front of the clerk and the customers that's in the gas station. The clerk's like, oh, y'all need to get out. I'm going to call the police. I ran out and she picked me up down the street from the gas station. Yeah, the clerk was like, oh, y'all need to get out. I'm going to call the police. And I ran out, and she picked me up down the street from the gas station, and we started laughing

about what happened in the gas station. Y'all, that's that toxic love that y'all find attractive, huh? Hey, we talked at the time before, but now it ain't talked in the world. That's good. I'm glad y'all grew out of that. Absolutely.

Hello, who's this? This is Dariusus from detroit hey what's up bro we're talking about you and your spouse getting to a public spot talk to us about it what up though so yeah man this was uh about 10 years ago me and an ex-girlfriend we arguing and uh god come around block, say something to me. I know what he said. I'm in the middle of arguing with her. He spins back around the block. Then I notice I'm in the same car again. He pulls up, says something else.

So now I have to pay attention to him. I'm like, what is he talking about? In an open area, I'm like, I'm just, you know, I'm arguing with my girl, but why is this your business? And all of a sudden, you know, I position myself because I'm like, I'm just, you know, I'm arguing with my girl, but why is this your business? And all of a sudden, you know, I position myself because I'm like, I'm kind of out in the open. So I kind of position myself to where I'm not so open. And all of a sudden, I just see a flash of light. And as I realized he was shooting at me, I was shooting at him.

It was pretty crazy. So, yeah, you know, that's how I go down to Detroit over light-skinned girls, I guess. I don't know. But Envy, man, I just want to tell y'all, though, too, man, I love it so. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You ain't going to just go talk to Envy after saying something like that. Shout out to Ray. Shout out to Ray.

You talking to us about gunshots and light-skinned girl. What's up, man? It got kind of crazy. It got kind of crazy in Detroit from time to time. You know what I'm saying? East side, police side. You know what I'm saying? Seven miles.

It get kind of wild. Like I said, I was just arguing with my girl. My man came around the block, said something, he came back and he spun the block, and I guess he felt like, no, he gonna make me stop arguing with my girl. And yeah, he wanted to shoot at me. What does complexion

have to do with this? Oh, you know how people acting over light skinned girls, they don't know how to handle themselves sometimes. I don't know, it's just something in the air with them. I don't get it. That is not true, sir. I am a stern believer in the black of the berry, the sweet of the juice. Absolutely, but some people

don't understand that. Yeah, I've always liked dark-skinned women. I don't know what complexion has to do with your ass being crazy enough to be shooting at somebody over any woman of any complexion. I don't know why they shoot at my woman. I don't understand why you want to shoot at me any complexion. I don't know why they shoot at my woman. I don't understand why you want to shoot at me over my woman. I don't get it.

What does Luskin have to do with it? Well, he was probably trying to paint the picture, but I will say this. He probably seen you arguing and was trying to stop you because he thought you was doing something to her. He's probably trying to protect you. No, it was me. Actually, it was my cousin and his wife was with me, too. And when he came back around the block, my cousin was walking across the street, and he almost hit him.

That's what made me notice that my man came back around the block again. So I'm like, what's going on with this dude? And he started shooting at me. You know what I'm saying? I really want better for you, my brother. I am praying for you. No, listen, listen. I've been married.

Yesterday was my one year. Yesterday was my one year marriage anniversary to my beautiful wife. Want to give a shout out to her, Sherry. My beautiful wife, lover. You know, we've been together. We've been together for eight years, married for one. I love that woman. And, I mean, I can't explain to you how much I love that girl.

All right, my brother jesus that was the craziest story what the hell did complexion have to do with him getting shot at i ain't never heard that ever in my life 800 you know how people get over light skin girls nigga no we're talking jt and little uzi vert jt uh threw a phone at Lil E Uzi during the BET Awards.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going.

That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

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. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. 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? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help!

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves, for self-preservation and protection. It was literally that step by step.

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

I was in the car with my baby that I had picked him up from work, and me and my cousin was talking, and he got mad about the conversation me and her was having. So he threatened to throw my phone out the window when we got to the light to get off of the freeway. I'm like, forget this. I got out the car. I picked the car apart. I'm like, forget this. I got out the car. I put the car in park and grabbed my baby.

And I threw his shit out the car. And I was like, I'm not going to just walk. And he was like, OK, you can get in the car back. And I just pulled off the left side of the road. Wow. I'm going to tell you something, man. Y'all got problems. This is crazy.

All I'm hearing is violence And lots of it Let's go to another phone line Hello, who's this? Marie Hey Marie, we're talking about a time Where you and your spouse got into a public spat So my worst public argument

Was when we was in the club And we got into an argument So of course I asked for my keys back And he threw them in the air So of course they just flew everywhere on the floor So now I asked for my keys back, and he threw them in the air. So of course they just flew everywhere on the floor. So now I'm on my hands and knees in the club, searching for my damn keys. Hands on my knees, shaking hands with him out there.

Hands on my knees, and running. Yeah, so that was my crazy, crazy topic right there, but that went along. Did you get all your keys that day? Except for my bottom key. That was okay. And my son just wants to say hello to y'all. He listens to y'all every day. He's seven years old.

He's excited to say hello. Hi, bestie. What's up, young king? How are you? How are you, brother? Good. What you doing? You on your way to camp? You on your way to camp?

I'm fine. No, I'm going to my school. Y'all still in school? Are you in summer school? No, I'm going to New York tomorrow. Oh, got you, got you, got you. Chalamet just tried to put your kid in summer school. You see what he tried to do there, mama?

I know, right? He did good. He's going for the third grade. He's good. Chalamet, don't do my boy like that. Well, I was projecting. I went to summer school like three, four years in a row, man. You know,

from about seventh grade to about tenth grade, I was all summer school. Okay? Jesus. Charlamagne, can I just say before anything, this is a topic

you haven't spoken about before with the D team, the Gen Z stuff. Let's not, let's not hype that up because as Buster said, we don't want no petty Ds and we know where to go

when we mess up with a crew like Jimmy. So, let's just keep the focus on it. That's true. See, that's whatusta said, we don't want no petty bees and we know where to go when we messing with a dude like Jimmy. So let's just keep the focus set. That's true. See, that's what I said, right? That's exactly what I said. So Charlamagne, you can't say you don't want everybody to love each other and you're like, nah, Jimmy gotta come hard. No, let's just

play it out the way we play it out and keep it cool. You're right, but I was just looking at it from a rap perspective because I think that Jim Jones and Pusha T are both grown ass men who know where not to take it. You know what I mean? 100% that we also do got grown-ass men out here that still take it places. That's right. You're right.

Jim said Pusha's soul cracked to his own brother. Yeah, we just gonna let this one die down, hopefully. Let's just let it go. Let's just let it go. Maybe Jim got inside information. Yo, shut up, man. Yo, shut up. All right, thank you, hopefully. Let's just let it go. Let's just let it go. Maybe Jim got inside information. I don't know. Yo, shut up, man. Yo, shut up. All right, thank you, mama.

It's rap, though. No, you're right. No, you're right. I mean, you're right. It is rap. And rap, historically, has gotten so disrespectful that people do take it there. I just can't see them two brothers doing that at this stage in their life. But who knows?

Okay. Who knows? The moral of the story is man stop all this violence against each other that's all i heard we said spat right we didn't say nothing about shootouts you know i mean like we said spat jesus our boy that red red goes i just want y'all to know there's nothing but domestic violence on these calls right the whole phone lines that are lit up every call domestic violence like damn all right we just met whole phone line's at a lit up. Every call is domestic violence. Like, damn.

We just made, like, little arguments. Like, you know, that's it. Spat. Look up the definition of spat, people. All right, well, let's get into the rumors. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty.

I'm gossiping. This is the rumor report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Yes, on The Breakfast Club. Now, RiR tea spills, right? Yes. On the Breakfast Club. Now, Riri is stepping down as CEO of Savage Fenty amid her second pregnancy, and she appoints a new chief to expand the brand. Now, nearly five years after Rihanna launched her Savage Fenty lingerie brand, she is stepping down as chief executive officer. Now, she said, it's been beautiful to see our vision for, it's been beautiful to see our vision for Savage and Fenty

impact the industry at such an incredible magnitude over the last five years, she told Vogue Business, and she's just stepping down. I mean, it makes sense, right? She's about to have another baby, right?

Yeah, she's just stepping down from the position. She's still, is the owner of Fenty. She's still got her equity in the company, so what's the problem? Nothing at all she probably

don't want to do the day-to-day duties anymore which makes sense uh yeah i'm to be honest with you i'm shocked she was doing in the beginning with now also kodak black he faces an arrest after allegedly missing a drug test according to a warrant issue last week kodak was required to submit a random drug and alcohol screening schedule for June 9th, and he said he did not show. So, Broad County officials said Kodak violated the terms of his pretrial release because he failed to show up for the test. He's expected to appear in court today. Yeah, why are you playing with them people, man? You know what I'm saying?

Like, when you are under those people's supervision and under those people's watch and you got certain requirements that you have to you know fulfill Just do what you're supposed to do Like it's really that simple like I don't know why why why are you playing with those people like that, man? You know, you know, they can't wait to lock your black ass up. So why play with a factual that is factual And I just want to say uh the bett awards we spoke about the bett awards, but we never spoke about the winners So only six awards were given out on Sunday night on the telecast uh Lotto accepted the best female hip-hop artist Coco Jones accepted the best new artist in person Tiana Taylor her mother Nikki accepted her daughter's award uh and that was for video director of the year now the 15 non-televised

awards there were two uh Beyonce and SZA tied for Al Mudeer. Well, the reality is a lot of those awards that weren't televised, they probably weren't people that were in attendance. Yeah, that's true. I know Beyonce won a couple of awards during the televised broadcast, and she wasn't there. She wasn't there, no. She's on tour, clearly. Absolutely. They can't even do a video, though?

They can't do a video accepting their award? Yeah, right? I thought that would be... Hey, damn. Even like a FaceTime, like a telecast, kind of like what Teyana Taylor did. Now, Chris Brown and Usher tied for best male R&B and pop artists as well. I don't even know how that works.

I don't know how that works. Because neither one of them had our music. Usher and Chris didn't put out no music last year? Yes, they did. Usher had a number one R&B record. He did? Chris Brown had a number one R&B record he did I think Chris Brown had a number one R&B record

I don't remember either one what were the records I can't remember the name of them Usher's record is actually number one I think maybe

a week ago two weeks ago on the R&B charts Usher yep I don't remember that at all I just know

Usher was killing it at his residency I don't remember Usher and Chris Brown putting out no music I know Chris got an album coming out well the best group

was Drake and 21 Savage they won, the best group was Drake and 21 Savage. They won that. The best collaboration was Future and Drake. What else? Kendrick Lamar won Best Male Hip Hop Artist. Everybody,

you ain't named nobody that was there yet. Video of the Year, Kill Bill Scissor. Video Director of the Year, of course, was Tiana Taylor. And of course,

Best New Artist was Coco Jones. Coco was there. Yeah, Coco was there. Damn, BET. Best International Act new artist was Coco Jones. Coco was there. Yeah, Coco was there. Damn, BET. Best international act was Burner Boy. He wasn't there. Burner Boy wasn't there. See, I don't like that, though. I remember there was a time when all the big artists

was at the BET Awards. They wouldn't miss it for the world. And I understand that some of them are on tour and stuff like that, but man, we still got to show up for these celebrations of coaching. Because no matter how big you get, this is still the people that have been supporting you from day one and was giving you those platforms when you know the the grammys and you know the american music awards or whoever else wasn't you know so you got you should i think you should still show up for

bet award yeah uh sports woman of the Year was Angel Reese. Angel wasn't there either? I didn't see Angel. I seen Flange, but not Angel. Hey. Best Actress was Angela Bassett. Best Actor, Damson Idris. Best Movie, Black Panther, Wakanda Forever.

They should be able to do AI. there nobody was there wasn't nobody there nobody jesus christ man all right well that they should be able to do ai it should be allowed to do ai soon okay if you can't get the real people that they the ai representative got a show up for them or something just make it up what they
