Good morning. It is middle of the week and I don't like how this week is going already because it's what Wednesday. Yes. In the last two days including naps I've gotten like 10 hours of sleep. Uncle don't like that. Oh you've been out. Uncle don't like that. You've been out and about. Well yeah because you know we went out Monday night had dinner and then last night I did a conversation with Bishop T.D. Jakes. Yes. Because he has a new book out called Disruptive Thinking. Fantastic. He's gonna be joining us this morning by the way. Jakes. Yes. Because he has a new book out called Disruptive Thinking. Fantastic book. He's going to be joining us this morning, by the way. He's going to be joining us this morning. So we had what we call a disruptive conversation at City College. My man D-Nice was providing the soundtrack.

Shout out to D-Nice. It was a sold-out event. I think like 600, 700 people. And we had a great conversation. But I didn't get home until like 9.30, which got me in bed by 10.30. 10.30, 10.45. So then I woke up at 4.

Like I said, only gotten like 10 hours, maybe 11 hours of sleep, including naps over the last two days. And I've been keeping my workouts in and everything. Okay. Moral of the story is I'm tired. All right. Yes. Well, shout to all the parents out there that, you know, it's baseball season. Oh, that too.

And softball season. Parenting. Yes, parenting, yes. So yesterday, I mean, it was a layup, man. Both my kids had games yesterday, my 9-year-old and my 8-year-old. But the fields were right across from each other. So I could stand in the middle of the field and watch both games at the same time. And both those games were slow.

Felt like it took forever. But my son lost, my daughter won. Yes both those games were slow. Felt like it took forever. But. Beautiful. No, my son lost. My daughter won. Yes, but they were happy. So, dad was at the game. That's probably not even what happened. Your daughter probably lost and your son won.

Somebody won and somebody lost. Somebody was happy. Somebody was pissed off. That's what I like to do. But either way, you say congratulations. Congratulations. You did good. Yes, you swung good.

You caught that ball. Yes, good job. That's right. At least you tried. You tried. You did your best. You did good job. That's right. At least you tried. You tried. You did your best. You did your best. That's right.

All right. But now Daddy got to go home and watch the game because I'm tired. Yes. All right. Well, like we said, Bishop T.D. Jakes will be joining us this morning. That's right. His book, Disruptive Thinking, man, it is a fantastic, fantastic read. And it's always great to have a conversation with the good Bishop.

Bishop the Drip Jakes, as I call him, because he'd be clean. But now we call him Bishop the Disrupted J, as I call him, because he'd be clean. But now we call him Bishop the Disrupted Jakes. That's right. Because he's the ultimate disruptor. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news.

Tesla and Figaro is going to be joining us. Of course, we're talking about Donald Trump. All right. Why are you looking at me like that? Because none of this is going to matter. But we'll discuss. All right. We'll get into that next. Don't move.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Do that dance. Do that dance. Stiff hips. Stiff hips. Hey. All right.

This song was made for people with stiff hips. Yes, it is. Drop one of the clues bombs for everybody out there with stiff hips, man. Everybody can't have the WD-40 loose hips, all right? Jesus. Okay? All right. Well, let's get into front page news.

Good morning, Teslin Figaro. How you feeling? I'm feeling well. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God was good, homie. We're ready to go. Tes. All right.

Well, let's start off with some sports. All right. Last night, the 76ers beat the Celtics. They lead the series 3-2. I don't think anybody's seen that one. No, I didn't see that game. I was out. And also, I mean, seeing that the 76ers were winning like that

That's what I mean, not actually seeing the game I think people thought Celtics was going to beat them I could have seen the Sixers winning I could see the Sixers winning that series Joel Embiid is the MVP, James Harden is showing up I could see that And also the Nuggets beat the Suns last night, 118-102 I don't think anybody's seen that one as well

I definitely didn't see that game I thought the Nuggets would win that series Really? Absolutely. 100 percent. All right. Well, Tazley, let's talk about Donald Trump. What's going on with Trump?

Yes. In less than three hours, a federal jury of six men and three women in New York found former President Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing and forcibly touching 79-year-old E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s. Trump was also found liable for defaming the writer last fall when he accused her of lying. The jury awarded Carroll $5 million in punitive damages. And, of course, Trump said he will appeal the decision, take a listen to what he had to say. We'll talk about it on the other side.

I don't even know who this woman is. I have no idea who she is, where she came from. This is another scam. It's a political witch hunt. And somehow we're going to have to fight this stuff. We cannot let our country go into this abyss. This is disgraceful. You have somebody running for office.

You have a woman that's financed and lied about it. She totally lied about it by Democrat operatives, like just about the biggest one there is. And she said that wasn't true. They found that she lied about it. And the judge wasn't even, I guess, letting it be put in as evidence. The whole thing is a scam. I don't know what's true and what's not true. I just know that people say things like Donald Trump was found guilty, but I don't think none of this is going to matter because Trump is going to change the temperature of everything probably today with something because he's just got too much going on. He's been charged in New York by Alvin Bragg. He's got charges in Georgia, potential federal charges. I think all of this just keeps

making Trump bigger and he can always say they can't beat me straight up. So they keep throwing his BS at me. Well, that was a civil case. But let me ask you a question. It was over 30 years that this incident happened, right? So how do they still and I'm confused. You know, I don't I'm taking it out of Donald Trump. I'm just talking about the time. How do they still find the evidence 30 years later to see that, you know, or the witnesses?

And, you know, i can barely remember something that happened five years ago so like this it seems 30 years seems like a long time right well it is a long time but then when we look at um civil cases versus criminal cases the standard is is low it's not the same so we remember when oj simpson in the 90s when oj simpson was uh acquitted of criminal charge he was charged on the civil side. So the the evidence that is required to charge you civilly is on the civil side is not the same. And then also, you know, they used Trump's words from the grab him by the pee video where they actually admitted that into evidence. They will be trying to appeal that because they said his attorney said they should have never admitted it in the first place.

But they did admit that video and they had him saying that, yeah, he believes he's a celebrity and he believes you really can grab him by the pee. So they used his own words to help, you know, charge him on this side as well. And then they had a couple of witnesses as well. They had some other witnesses that also said they, too, have been abused by Trump. So, again, just like Charlamagne was saying, it's this and then still the other cases, the Alvin Bragg, the January 6th, the Mar-a-Lago with the classified documents. All of these things combined will continue to keep giving

him a hard time. But keep in mind, guys, he can still run for office and still win with all of these charges. And I'm sure he's going to raise a whole bunch of money. The classified documents, though, they're not going to mess with him with that because President Biden had those. Everybody had too many people had those. Yeah, he threw those out the window.

It seemed like now George Santos, he's being charged, right? Yeah. George Santos is also being charged during his brief time in office. Santos has been accused of breaking campaign finance laws, violating federal conflict of interest laws, stealing cash meant for an Iraq war veterans dying dog. Ma'am, who steals from the dog? Masterminding a credit card fraud scheme. Yeah, let me back that up. He stole from, he stole cash that was meant for an Iraq war veterans dying dog. So he stole from the poor dying dog.

He masterminded a credit card fraud scheme and lying about where he went to school and work. Santos is expected to appear in federal court today in New York's Eastern District, where the charges have been filed under seal. What's wrong with him stealing from the dying dog, though? I mean, all dogs go to heaven, right? All dogs go to heaven. If you know that, if you know all dogs going to heaven, you know, why not just take the cash? Probably with the money for the dog's procedure or something like that. I'm sure it was something like that.

Like the dog just didn't have a savings account. How much was it? I don't know. It don't matter. It's just stole from the dying dog. I just think it's so strange when people leave money to their pets. Like, come on, man. We've had this conversation before.

It's stupid. It's so stupid. White people love their little dogs, and they leave millions and billions of dollars to their dogs. Come on, man. We've had this conversation before. It's stupid. It's so stupid. White people love their little dogs, and they leave millions and billions of dollars to their dogs. What do they know about their pets that we don't know? For real. Did a pet shapeshift or something? Did they turn to humans at a certain point?

Are they going to need some cash? I will say with this one, they raised money for it. So anytime you raise money saying you're getting it for one thing and you do something else, that's called a crime. So that's what's happening with him. But again, as a reminder, he still can keep his seat in Congress as well. There's no standard no more. None. There's no standard. It feels like there's only a standard in entertainment.

In all the places that matter, like politics, there's no standard. But you mess up in entertainment, then you're out of here. But you mess up in politics, it's like, ah, it's nothing. Keep it moving. All right. Well, that is front page news. Tess and Figaro, we'll see you in some minutes to talk about some more stuff.

Absolutely. All right. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. And don't forget, Bishop T.D. Jakes is joining us this morning. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. E, there's nothing bottom about me. Right, bro. That's the only thing I want to talk about. Because I understand for some reason you think I'm giving bottom energy over here. You do give bottom energy, Trav. I definitely don't give bottom energy, Solomon.

We listening. Because this young guy, he cuts me out so bad. He's going to meet me today to fight me. You know why? It's been a bad week for bus drivers. For whatever reason. Bus drivers have been having a bad week. I don't know.

Like, they need more mentors or they need fathers to step up or something. So, Chrissy, let me ask you. What happens in that case when you got into an altercation with somebody on the bus? You know you see them all the time. Are you going to see them today? What can you do to protect yourself? Never mind, Chrissy. She's from the Bronx. You're from the Bronx, Chrissy.

Don't play with him. Don't play with him. No, I'm not going to play with him because I don't trust these kids. So call the police. Yeah, call the police.

Don't drive that, whatever way you're driving today. Don't drive that way today. Call NYPD's finest. I'm not going to drive that way. It's my route. You can't get another route if somebody's threatening you?

You can, but he might not even make the bus today at that time, you know? See, because you're playing. You're playing, Chrissy. You should still call the police and tell them because you know where you make the bus today at that time. See, you playing. You playing, Chrissy. You should still call the police and tell them because you know where you picked the guy up at or you know where he's going to be.

Tell the police that you don't feel safe, you had a threat made to you, and then maybe they can do something. I don't know. There's something wrong with these children. Are you allowed to carry pepper spray? I have some. She's from the Bronx.

it was so much police out there. You felt comfortable? I never felt safer. And they were showing so much love. A lot of them listen to The Breakfast Club. Salute to all the NYPD officers I met yesterday. Absolutely. Salute to all of them. One of them told me, she was like, you good out here, Charlamagne.

You good. You don't got to worry about nothing in here. And you started crib walking through the door. No, I don't crib walk. 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. We talk about the ups and downs and the insecurities and the things that made us stronger. We talk about every relationship is not perfect. Every marriage is not perfect, but it's what you do to get to the other side. Me and my wife, we work on our relationship every

day. I love that woman with everything. Yeah, man. I'm glad y'all made it through that because I'm in a relationship. I'm thinking about with everything. Yeah, man. I'm glad y'all made it through that because I'm in a relationship. I'm thinking about taking it to the next level. We're just about to close on our house next Wednesday. Congrats, brother. Congratulations, King. Yeah, I appreciate

that. Appreciate y'all for everything y'all do. Alright, brother. Have a good one. You can pick up the book, too. It's paperback. It was just released, I think, like two weeks ago. It's a perfect gift for a friend. Mother's Day, you want to get it for your mom or your girl, your baby mama. It's one of those. And it's real.

It's not dishonest. Sandra. Yes. Sandra, the recent therapist. Hey, Sandra. M.D., I have a beef with you again. Why do you have a beef with me? I felt like you weren't listening to Ebony. You know, I feel like as black women, the narrative is always that you can't have your equal and that you always have to build a man up.

And I remember you saying in the past that you sent your daughter to the top private school in New Jersey and now she's at one of the top universities. So you want the best for your kid and I don't see what's wrong with having the best in your partner. I mean, I want the best for my kid, but I also want my daughter to be happy. If somebody is out there that is a bus driver that my daughter meets and he treats her well and she's happy, I'm happy.

But see, at the end of the day, it's as a... If you meet someone and they are not equally yoked to you, then why would you continue? Well, I'm not talking about finances. I'm talking about what's going to make her happy. I'm talking about a man that's going to treat her well. I'm talking about a man that has values. I don't

care about money. She could meet somebody that's filthy rich and a billionaire and treat her like doodle. I think that we would be kind of living in a fantasy world if we don't think that finances... Sandra and Envy, you know what's happening here this is what's happening here we weren't even having that conversation with ebony i can pretty much say we probably agree with ebony on that what we were talking to ebony about was when uh she implied that

everyday working class people are average correct mediocre correct typical and stuck in the bigotry of low expectations. That's what I believe. That's what I'm saying. That's what everybody's pushing back on. Ebony can have her preferences. As a first-generation kid, I hear that a lot growing up. We didn't come to this country for you to be mediocre, for you to be average. So it is doctor lawyer engineer

that is that those are the choices you have so i hear that but doctors but doctors lawyers and engineers have to get to work and a lot of them especially in big cities get to work via public transportation and a lot of that public transportation is buses buses, trains Ubers more than important roles that's why I can never call the people that literally make this world go around average, typical, mediocre are stuck in the bigotry of low expectations

because I know when I'm sitting at home hungry and my wife don't feel like cooking we're calling what y'all would call mediocre people to bring our food when we need Amazon packages delivered we're y'all would call mediocre people to bring our food when we need amazon amazon packages delivered that's right we're calling what you would call mediocre people to bring our amazon packages so i just that's that's all we're pushing back on absolutely you can't get caught up in the dating conversation and who should date who like that's fine everybody can have their preferences and i really don't care that's a whole other discussion somebody said i

like i i honestly don't care and that's probably the reason why i work so much and i have so many different jobs i want my kids to be financially free and have their own i want them to be able to pick a spouse or pick somebody that they love because of the value of that person not because the dollars that they make that's how i that's how me and my wife met that's how you and your wife met charlamagne and that's what i want for mine i don't care about what what they make that's that's the least i think somebody's gonna treat her well going back to the relationship conversation. You're right. That's not what we were talking to Ebony about.

I don't have any problem with Ebony's preferences. That's her preference. That's her preference. And that's fine. Whatever she wants, that's fine. The only thing I took issue with was her sounding like she was saying

everyday working class people are average, mediocre, typical, and stuck in the bigotry of low expectations. And I don't want to talk about it no more. That's the other goddamn thing. Jesus Christ. Why are we still talking about this? I don't know. It's 10 days already. Jesus Christ.

It's Wednesday. That seemed like two weeks ago. I'm about to rent a bus and just start driving a bus through the city. Just because. F that. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Now, when we come back, Snoop Dogg is pissed off. He's mad at the world.

And he's going to let you know why. Alright? Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Yes, we are. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Snoop Dogg. Rumor has it. Rumor has it.

Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I don't 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, yesterday, Snoop Dogg took part in a panel at the Milken Institute's 2023 Global Conference in Beverly Hills.

That sounds fancy. Yeah, they asked him a question about AI and writer's strike, and Snoop just went off. The use of AI by the studios to write scripts, let's say. Of course, Snoop, dying to know your thoughts on this. Well, I got a motherfucking AI right now that they done made for me. This nigga can talk to me. I'm like, man, this shit can hold a real conversation. Like, for real, for real. Like, it's blowing my mind because I watched movies on this as a kid years ago

when I used to see this shit. And I'm like, what is going on? Then I heard the dude, the old dude that created AI, and I'm like, this is not safe because the AI has got their own minds and these motherfuckers are going to start doing their own shit. I'm like, is we in a movie right now? So do I need to invest in the A.I. so I can have one with me? Like, do y'all know?

It ain't a movie, dog. I keep telling y'all, man, mutually assured destruction. That is what A.I. is going to lead us to. I don't care what none of y'all say. And this whole writer's craic that's happening uh one of the main things that you know they pushed back on in regards to the writer's craig was the writers wanted to make sure that you know these studios can't use ai to write things but not only that and they pushed back on that so that tells you everything you need to know yeah not only that snoop was also talking about we

don't have any other audio snoop right he also talks about how he was saying that you know know, part of the strike is he was saying, you know, when a lot of these writers do these, you know, writing these films or writing these scripts, they do it for major releases, major box office releases. So now when these movies go on the streaming services, how do they get paid? Yeah, that's part of it. That's one of the reasons the writers are striking. One of the main reasons the writers are striking. And Snoop Dogg was saying the same thing for a lot of rappers. He was like, how you a rapper and your music, you know, streams a billion streams and you don't get nearly that much money. You don't even get 10% of that money.

And he was like, it doesn't, he's like, the math ain't math. And that's not a new conversation. No, but he was like, that's what he was saying. That's what he started bringing up in that, uh, in that panel. He was saying, you know, back in the day, he's an artist. He said, if, if his album was, you know, $10 and he sold a million records, he made $10 million, you know, and the day he's an artist he said if if his album was you know ten dollars and he sold a million records he made ten million dollars you know and then it's broken down you know he might make 20 of that and his label might make 20 he's like now they're just doing things and they're not paying the actual artist so he was he was bringing all that up i don't understand

about artificial intelligence they talk about artificial intelligence is going to replace like 300 million jobs or something like that right so if you get rid of all the humans correct and the humans aren't working right humans don't have any money so even though you're you're you're cutting costs by having the artificial intelligence through the jobs who's going to be able to buy products with no money nobody like what are we doing nobody at all what are we doing people now they're still talking about what i just broke down with the streaming services it's exciting but streaming gotta get get their together because i don't understand how you get paid off for that like i mean can somebody explain to me how you can get a billion streams and not get a million dollars like that don't make sense to me because one plus one ain't adding up to two

that don't add up and i have to say it because that's the main gripe with a lot of us artists is that we do major numbers with streams and this but it don't add up to the money it's not being translated and it's not working for the artists right now and i just want to speak to that in the music industry like that's up and we need to find a way to figure that out the same way the writers are figuring out. The writers are striking because streaming, they can't get paid. If somebody watched your movie, where's the money? And I know I'm going off a script right now, but f*** it.

This is business. That's not AI, though. That's just a contract conversation, right? Like, artists got to negotiate better. Because it's not like people aren't making money off streaming. It's just not going into the artist pockets they're making money off screaming right now jonathan mages he appeared in court for domestic violence yesterday his attorney saying it's a witch hunt now it was virtually uh the da provided more information about what they're charging him

with now previously the complaint stated that mages had allegedly struck the woman in her face with an open hand causing a laceration behind her ear now the complaint had allegedly struck the woman in her face with an open hand, causing a laceration behind her ear. Now, the complaint now states that the woman also sustained injuries to her arm and hand and that she was allegedly pushed into the side of a vehicle by Majors. Now, he denied the allegation. So we'll see what happens with that. You know who we never talk about in situations like this? Who? Witches.

Because Trump lawyers said it's a witch hunt. Jonathan Majors, people say it's a witch hunt. How do actual witches feel about this? Witches out here lawyers said it's a witch hunt Jonathan Majors people say it's a witch hunt how do actual witches feel about this? Witches out here just minding their business okay? I don't know any witches

to ask oh I know some some good ones really? oh I know some good ones where they from? don't worry about where they from

just play with me if you want to have you coughing up a frog in here you shut up man and lastly Tory Lanez is denied

a new trial in the megastallion shooting now los angeles judge on tuesday denied a motion for a new trial from lawyers for rapporteur lane they didn't say as a witch hunt no they didn't say as a witch hunt but he's convicted of three felonies in the december shooting so now he's waiting for his uh to see if he's gonna he faces up to 22 years in prison and faces deportation back to Canada. So we'll see what happens with him. And of course, if you don't remember his convictions of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, having a loaded unregistered firearm in a vehicle and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. So the judge did not care about those pleas that Tory Lanez was making this week when he was saying, please don't ruin my life. No, that, you know, I could be your brother, your son, your father.

No, not at all. There are consequences to your actions. Yes, so we'll see what happens. We'll see how much time he gets. And that is your rumor report. All right, now when we come back, Teslin Figueroa will be joining us. We got some front page news.

And Bishop T.D. Jakes, we'll be kicking with him in a little bit. You see this right here? Disruptive thinking. That's what we're going to have this morning, a disruptive conversation with Bishop T.D. Jakes. He's got a with him in a little bit. You see this right here? Disruptive thinking. That's what we're going to have this morning. A disruptive conversation with Bishop T.D. Jakes. He's got a new book out right now called Disruptive Thinking. I can't wait to talk to him about it. That's right. It's The Breakfast Club on

BET. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Our Audible pick of the day is In The Room with Peter Bergen. Go beyond the headlines in this weekly podcast and get the real story from people who were there. Listen when you sign up for a free trial at audible.com slash breakfast club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. All right, let's get in some front page news. Tezman Figueroa is back with us. Come on in, Tez. The Hood Whisperer. Morning. Start off with some quick sports. Last night, the 76ers beat the Celtics 115-103. They lead the series 3-2.

And the Denver Nuggets beat the Suns 118-102. They lead that series 3-2. The Knicks play tonight. I don't know if I'm going to go to that game. I want to go to that game. I think I might take my son to that game. Now, let's start off with Tucker Carlson. Now, he's launching his own show now on Twitter?

Yes. After being fired from Fox News last month, Tucker Carlson announced that he will relaunch his program on Twitter. Check out what he had to say. We'll talk about it on the other side. Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren't many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now. Twitter is not a partisan site. Everybody's allowed here, and we think that's a good thing. And yet, for the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets.

You see it on cable news. You talk about it on Twitter. We know exactly how it works, and we're sick of it. Starting soon, we'll be bringing a new version of the show we've been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter. Free speech is the main right that you have. Without it, you have no others. Well, last night that video had 17 million. Guess what it went to this morning? 73 million views. Wow. So when you look at his old show that only had maybe about two or three million viewers, this is reaching the world literally overnight. I mean, is he doing it in conjunction with Twitter? Like, I don't I don't I don't know if it's a partnership with Twitter or he's just launching it on Twitter. He just announced he just put the video out.

I watched it from beginning to end. So he didn't talk about, you know, the operational side of it. But what I found interesting is he may possibly lose $20 million that he was expected to get from Fox. So depending on that non-compete, will they look at that as another network? Will they look at that as kind of doing the same thing he was doing on Fox? But he's willing to walk away from the bag,

allegedly, to get his voice out. I don't see him sitting out this election season. I think this is all about him wanting to continue his message, get it out, and Twitter is the place, obviously, with Elon Musk kind of letting things just run wild on Twitter. This is the place

that he thinks he can do it. Yeah, Tucker Carlson definitely has his own audience, and I think enough people will follow him that he can make a living, but it's interesting with those conservative talking heads, right, like the Glenn Becks of the world, the Bill O'Reillys, the Tucker Carlson's. They always end up going to launch like their own show,

you know, via their own platform in some way. But they never seem to have that same energy. Impact, right? Yeah, because O'Reilly is still out here with his platform. Glenn Beck is still out here, but it never seems to hit the same as it did when they were on Fox. Yeah, I also think when they launched,

it took a minute for them to kind of get stuff together. I didn't see this happening. Do you remember? Because to me, this is like immediately. And they didn't have access to a Twitter to do something like this. So I see him moving a lot faster, you know, trying to keep his folks engaged, where O'Reilly and all of those guys took a little while for them to get set up,

you know, and kind of get their show going. And that's part of it. Like you said, people say out of sight, out of mind. I mean, he's going right from Fox to right to his own platform. He's continuing the conversation and he's, I guess, trying to take his fans, his loyal fans with him. Because Glenn Beck launched a whole network. Remember, it was the Blaze Network. I mean, that's where the

infamous Tommy Lauren came from. You know what I mean? Right. But I don't even know what happened to that. It also wasn't in the middle of campaign campaign season so the environment has a lot to do with it as well you know we're literally in the middle of uh former president donald trump fighting five cases at one time so i agree with you charlemagne out the fox is the machine that makes the shows what they are but i do think in this case he'll be able to create a little create a little bit of noise on twitter very different than those other guys word now let's talk about this woman who wrote a book about grief after her husband died now she's charged with his murder yes after uh cory richard's

husband eric died suddenly last year she wrote a children's book that said she wanted to help her three boys with the process of grief letting them know that their father will always be with them. A little over two months since the book Are You With Me was published, Ms. Richens, 33, was charged with murder, murdering her husband by poisoning him with five times the lethal dosage of fentanyl at their home outside Park City, Utah. Now, the medical examiner concluded that the fentanyl had been ingested orally. The investigation determined that she made her husband a cocktail the night before and he passed away.

The investigation found communications with a drug dealer of her asking for some of the Michael Jackson stuff. And they found they found her husband. They also found out that her husband told his friends that he thought she was trying to kill him. This is like that dentist story do y'all remember what was the dentist story i forgot remember the dentist that killed his wife and she told everyone it was a couple months back she told everyone hey i think he's yeah i think he's trying to kill me and then he made her a drink and then she died i mean this is like literally the same thing i'm gonna tell you something man that michael jackson stuff is no joke okay when

i went to go get my colonoscopy, and when I got my endoscopy, and they hit me with that Michael Jackson stuff, I'm not going to front. I asked the doctor. I said, man, can I get some of this? Too stupid. To go home, and her exact words to me was like,

no, just that Michael Jackson stuff. Yeah, no, it does put you out, and when you wake up, there's no drowsiness. You just feel refreshed. It's the best sleep ever, and I need something. I only had 10 hours of sleep. Shut up, man. I'll give you something to put you to sleep. Shut up.

Bill, on his soliciting for drugs, Sean May. Oh, no. I'm just saying, when y'all say that Michael Jackson stuff, you know, that's another reason to go get your colonoscopy. It's worth it. When you get hit with that dose and you out, oh, Lord. Tell me I'm lying to you. No, it was amazing.

This story was supposed to be about the sympathy of the guy dying, not an opportunity to do an advertisement for the solicitation of drugs. You're right. God bless that brother. God bless that brother. And his wife's in jail, right? Yes. Yeah, she's in jail.

She was arrested. All right. Well, that is front page news. Thank you, Tez. Yes, make sure you subscribe to Tez and Figaro's podcast, The Scraped Shot, No Chase, a podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. And Tez, are you talking about dating this week? Yes, I

am. I'm talking about how we need to be dated, courted, engaged as black voters from the politicians. So just kind of going off of the conversation, would you date a bus driver? I want to know are politicians dating us and what we should be looking for drops this Thursday. There you go. Well, thank you tez we'll

see you tomorrow absolutely all right now when we come back the bishop td jakes will be joining us this book is called disruptive thinking man it's a daring strategy to change how we live lead and love it is a fantastic read from uh one of the greatest orators and communicators of our time bishop td jakes and he'll be joining us next. All right. And Jess Hilarious. We did the interview yesterday. Jess Hilarious was with us as well. So we'll get into that next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest host, Jess Hilarious with us. Yes, indeed. And we got a special guest in the building, Bishop T.D. Jakes. Welcome back.

It's good to be back. Thanks for having me. And you got a new book out the building. The legend. T.D. Jakes. Welcome back. It's good to be back. Thanks for having me. And you got a new book out, Disruptive Thinking. Yeah. What is Disruptive Thinking, my brother? Disruptive Thinking is the willingness that you need to be able to disrupt the way that you look at life because you understand that mindsets control assets. And I know when I say assets, I'm not just talking about wealth. I'm talking about relationships. I'm talking about wellness. I'm talking about your perspectives on life have to be disrupted in order to go to the next level.

Some people are willing to do that, and some people are not. They just stay where it's safe and play in the safety zone. Other people color outside of the lines. In the book, I talk about how to handle both groups of people, how to manage people who are disruptors and how to support people that are disruptors. I have a friend. She passed away, and her saying used to be, you can be great or you can be safe, but you can't be both. Exactly. That's perfectly said.

That's exactly what the book is about and what it costs to cross those lines, what it costs to be innovative. If you go in the library, there are no books about ordinary. There are only books about innovative, creative, people who crossed lines, broke boundaries, created things, went, pushed it to the limit. And there's a price to be paid, and I talk about it in the book, for disruptive thinking. But this is a disruptive time we're living in. And we're trying to and if we we're trying to go back to normal and normal isn't there anymore yeah it's not there anymore so if we're not willing to disrupt what we call normal and embrace change then we're going to be left behind

as a people or as an individual now when you say disruptive thinking can you be disruptive against the church and it still be okay can disruptive thinking go against the church as well if there's questions or comments or anything like that you can't control the way people think about anything it doesn't make it right because that's the way you think about it see anytime you have a generic statement like the church it's like black people you know we're not a monolith so whenever people say i have ideas about the church, I think, what is the church? I don't like black people. It's that kind of ignorant. I don't like white people. I have an issue with, you know, you're talking about millions and millions of people with different ideas within the church.

So, you know, maybe you don't like your experience with it. That's totally different from your experience with god okay let's go to that first and then secondly it's no excuse to indict all churches because you had an experience with one or two it's like saying all black men are no good or all you know so i don't say anything to them i let them go through whatever they gotta go through now i will say the one bad thing about the pandemic, right, is now you can watch church on television. I ain't gonna lie now, Bishop. Sunday morning, I'd be like, bloop, kids get in the bed. And it's just, you know.

I'm definitely bedside Baptist. I love the Potter House. I'm always doing that on Sunday morning. I got my eggs, my bacon, my waffles, my orange juice. And, you know, we all in the room together. I'm sorry. I can't. No, I cannot. I got my eggs, my bacon, my waffles, my orange juice, and we all in the room together. I'm sorry. I can't.

No, I cannot. I cannot get it just watching it on TV. It doesn't do. And not that it's, I don't know. I just don't get the same. I don't get it. I don't receive it the same. It is not quite the same, but I think that's an amazing picture he just drew of him and his family watching on screen together.

There's nothing wrong with that. I don't care about that. But I do understand you, too, because anytime you're actually in the room, the room has a certain energy and a certain element. And the dog isn't barking and somebody's not ringing the doorbell. You're not scrolling through your phone and you don't have those distractions. Of course, it's going to be more intense. But I meet people where they are. Whether they want to watch it on TV, whether they want to stream it, whether they want to go.

Anytime you feed your soul, you're going to be a little bit better. Just a little bit less stressed out, a little bit less worried, a little less intense. That can't hurt you there's nothing there's nothing like experiencing the potter house in person but i love it on sunday morning i'm glad y'all scream live on youtube every time yeah i'm grateful we i think you'd be hard pressed to find anybody that draws more people on sunday morning in a stream than we do and we were able to survive covid much better than i didn't know what that was going to be like.

Yeah. It's very scary. But we survived with our doors closed because we had the technology to be able to reach a broader audience. I think that when Jesus said go into all the world, he didn't necessarily mean we had to go by camel. Yeah. We could go by technology.

We could go by streaming. We could go by television. We could go by radio. And if they come up. We could go by television. We could go by radio. And if they come up with something else, we'll be on that too. But it's about meeting people where they are. Yeah. So what about all these new pastors in these new churches? Like they might curse doing their sermons or they do like, you know, I don't want to say gimmicky, but they do stunts on stage.

Gimmicky. In order to get attention. Would you call that disruption or what would you call that? You know, every leader has his audience. It's not the way that I would do it. Why must we divide further

when we're already a minority? I don't want to expend energy fighting another brother even if he's not doing it the way I would do it. I would rather spend my energy trying to propel our community forward. So really, when you start talking about disruptive thinking, it's born out of me thinking somebody ought to do something. Somebody ought to do something. Somebody ought to do something. And then someone said to me, why aren't you somebody? And the truth of the matter is we keep saying somebody, and it really ought to be everybody.

Yeah. So disrupting our thinking, building communities, started a real estate development corporation. We started building communities, closing food deserts, drawing up plans to go across the United States doing it. And all those things they say the church don't do. Yeah. And all the things that the white church doesn't have to do. Break that down. The black church is expected to do everything. Not the white church.

They're expected to preach the gospel and go home. The black church is expected to be an activist, a civil rights leader, a counselor. Supposed to have a food pantry. Supposed to have everything going. Supposed to know how to do everything. White pastors don't have to do that. They don't even talk about white pastors like, oh, that white pastor got a mega church. Right.

That white pastor making money. That white pastor doing business. You don't never hear that in regards to the white pastors. But they always crucify the black pastors. But it's because we have been pitted against each other the whole throughout history. And unity is what is needed. Now, we're not going to agree about everything. That's the beautiful thing about this country.

That's okay. But there are some common things that we need, and I want to solve those common things. Everybody needs to breathe. We need clean air. We need clean water. We need to access healthy foods. We've got more liquor stores in our communities than we do grocery stores. Payday loans instead of financial

literacy. We're standing right on the edge of the greatest transference of wealth in the history of this country from one generation into another. But our community is going to lag woefully behind. Only 42% of African-Americans own a house. 73% of Caucasians own a house. I think it's about 50% of Latinos. Why is that important?

Because you can't pass on your apartment to your children. Correct. Right. Okay. So they're going to start at ground level zero. Why do we not have it? Not access to credit, underhired, underpaid. White families' median income is 10 times higher than ours.

Knowledge. Can't get the loans. Knowledge. School loans. Debt. All of these things are issues that we need to address. That's not really the church's job. Yeah, no.

But it has fallen onto our plate. All right, we got more with Bishop T.D. Jakes when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's D.J. Envy, Charlamagne Thalamagne the guy we are the breakfast club jess hilarious is here and we're still kicking it with bishop td jakes we were just having a conversation about you know people who

work at blue collar jobs and and how necessary they were and we were saying exactly what you were saying that there's nothing wrong with working a blue collar job or be or doing this or doing that but also realizing that you can do something on the side. You can create that streaming company or that podcast or whatever you want to do, buy that multi-unit and rent it out. You can do it on the side. You can do more than one job. And I think people were stuck with, you know, this job is only for these people.

And I'm like, that's not at all. We all have a start from someplace. Exactly. That's the kind of disruptive thinking uh they created the show correct okay this is disruptive thinking uh and the fact that you can do it on the radio and you can do it on tv simultaneously the fact that you think in a multifaceted way is disruptive thinking that's what got you here that's what got me here I didn't get here because I'm black. I didn't get here because I'm a man.

I didn't get here because I'm a preacher. I got here because I'm innovative and creative and diverse and different and unique, as is Marvin Winans, as is Bishop Sapp, as is everybody. Everybody is unique. What are we doing with our uniqueness? So we're at an inflection point. The projections are about 2050 African Americans median income is going to be

at zero. If we don't make a quick turn, we're going to have a world full of trouble as artificial intelligence replaces us. And it's a serious conversation. So disruptive thinking is as much a warning as it is a clarion call that the ideas you've had on the back burner that you're waiting on enough money to capitalize.

Take them off the back burner. Form partnerships. Build alliances. Go. Because if you don't go now, you're not going to get there. The child that you're raising that looks rambunctious could be disruptive, could be creative, could be a leader. Sometimes we punish kids down into submission

and teach them to feel like a slave. Sit down. Do what I told you to do. Because I said so. All of that kind of stuff. You sound just like me. Because I said so. We're not teaching our children.

The problem is we're not programming this computer with good stuff, with smart stuff, with stuff that's intimidating, that makes you walk into a room and feel shy to speak up. That's a good room to be in. So as a parent, being a disruptor is allowing your kids to be disruptors, allowing your children to discover who they are and looking closely at them to guide them toward things that they're good at, that they can excel at. My grandson came to me and he said, I like working in the arts. And I got on the phone and I called a friend of mine who was works for Dallas Broadway. And I said, I've got a grandson in town. Would you consider at least interviewing him for a job?

What am I doing? I'm putting him in the field of his dreams. Everybody ain't got the grandfather like you. Yeah, that's true. My son told my father he wanted to be a football player. My father don't know no football players. He can't call up Ray Lewis. But you know something, if you're

really gifted, somebody's going to see it. Somebody's going to see it if you're really gifted. And you have to put yourself out there. If you don't know, I didn't have a me either. My father died when I was 16. My grandfather was murdered by white racists in Mississippi

when he was 22. So didn't have, didn't have, didn have didn't have didn't have didn't have powdered eggs powdered milk okay I grew up on on the rags of life but they were my mother knew how to make a quilt out of them and we she you know she she was bad she was strong she was resourceful she was creative my father got sick when I was He died when I was 16. So I didn't grow up with any silver spoons anywhere. You disrupted your whole family's lineage. Totally. Totally. Totally. Totally. And took them with me. So what got you in the ministry? Right. With what happened to your grandfather? What happened to your father? A lot of people would say they wouldn't believe because of this. There's so many negative outcomes that happen in their life. But it seems like it totally made the opposite for you.

That's a great question. Pain drove me to him, not from him. Thirst makes you go to water. Hunger makes you go get up and eat. So I use the void to find my heavenly father because I missed my earthly father. You know, you said that you don't want any of your kids to be your successor but man how does it feel seeing Sarah following your footsteps I don't want them to feel like they have to be my successor she's become a spiritual leader at all she's she's I

have no words for for what she is she the the thing that's amazing about Sarah is Sarah will rock that stage till it comes unglued and walk off of the stage like it wasn't her. I swear, she comes home like nothing happened and she'll get some chicken and put it in a brown paper bag and start shaking it up

and frying chicken and not even discuss it. But when she aims, she aims from such a pure place pure and also from a place of uh deep passion to help people and it's it's just amazing to watch uh yeah i love watching it but i love all of my kids i do What I meant by my statement is I didn't want to pressure my children to be something they weren't. Yeah. You know, I love a chapter in the book

of being married to a disruptor. Yeah. I'm married and be married just one day, maybe. But yeah, it's coming. Pastor, it's coming. I feel it. Let us pray. Put a hand on it. Dear God. Dear God. He's coming. Pastor, it's coming. I feel it. Let us pray. Put your hand on it.

Dear God. Dear God. He's coming on a hundred. He's coming on a hundred. Uh-uh. That's me. Not a hundred. Right.

Can you have a successful marriage to a person who's a disruptive? Oh, absolutely. Okay. You just both can't be disruptive at the same time. Somebody's got to support. Somebody's got to be disruptive. Somebody's got to stabilize the home time somebody's got to support somebody's got to be disruptive somebody's got stabilized the home while somebody's moving forward you you you have to have each other's back i saw you on dr phil i want to stay on the marriage thing for a minute i saw you on dr phil

talking about the fundamental core of marriage could you explain to people what that fundamental core of marriage is i think instead of running up interviewing men for marriage or women for marriage, like you're hunting down a turkey in November, which nobody wants to be shot. Listen, Jess. Okay. Let's be friends. Because the core of any great relationship, my son is sitting behind me. He's my son, but we're friends. We're friends. My wife is sitting behind me. He's my son, but we're friends. We're friends.

My wife is also my friend. So as the romantic moments ebb and subside and rise and fall through different seasons and stages of your life, if at the core you respect each other and you are for me, we can survive the turbulence because we have core values all right well don't move we got more with bishop td jakes it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club jess hilarious is here and we're still kicking it with bishop td jakes you know a lot of people feel that and i know your son is a lot older that your child shouldn't be your friend and people say that all the time my child's not my friend yeah how do you feel about that i when he was a boy i wouldn't

have said that but he's a grown man he's 42 years old yeah yeah yeah y'all should talk. But anyway. I don't know. But, you know. You made me forget everything. I see. I like that. It's about being your friend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when your children are grown, the relationships become more friends.

Yeah. Because then you can talk to them about what really happened, who you really are. Right. What really stopped you, what keeps you up at night. But when he was a little boy, I was his father, period. Yeah. Point blank. Stop.

Boom. No. Go to bed. Now. What are you up to? You know, parenting is a job. Yeah, man. It's a job.

And I think we have babies, but don't take the job of parenting. Yeah. Parenting is a job. Yes, sir. It's work and it's a lifelong job. Yeah. But as they get older, you start reaping a harvest back in terms of loyalty and love. And Warren Buffett said something i think is really true no matter how much money you

make in life if when you get ready to die those that you love the most are not gathered around your bed then you are poor there will be no u-hauls behind hearses there will only be mourning families if you're wise enough to protect that and you have to protect that at all costs because at the end of the day it doesn't matter what you tweet about me because if i get sick you're wise enough to protect that. And you have to protect that at all costs. Because at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you tweet about me, because if I get sick, you're not going to wipe my mouth. You're not going to set me up in a bed or change my clothes. So why should I put so much energy into you at the expense of putting energy into him? You understand? So I have five children. Okay. And as you go through life and you build relationships, they got to see a struggle. They got to see us happy.

They got to see us sad. They got to see us mad. Guess what you're learning? Conflict resolution. You're learning that you can be angry and not shoot somebody. That you can be angry and still come in and have dinner. I can be disappointed with you and still cook for you. We are not demonstrating the complexities of relationships.

Not only is it affecting our personal lives, but business is built on relationships. Sarah, she spoke at my Mental Wealth Expo last year and she actually apologized on behalf of the black church and she said I think it would be remiss of us to not acknowledge that there have been moments in black church, because that's

the only church she's been in, a black church, where she's not allowed to bring the truth of who you are into space. What do you think about that? I think it's a great statement. I think it's a wonderful thing to do. But really, again, the black church is not a monolith. And they're not all the same. There are black churches that teach for and against everything.

What we have to do is stop throwing rocks and find what church works for you yeah okay what are you where are you called where are you where do you feel comfortable is it blue jeans and tennis shoes and t-shirts and that's what you want do you want to do you want a minister that's that's jeans and skinny jeans and you like that relaxed atmosphere? Good. Go for it. You want to sing Hillsong type music?

Good. There are churches like that. You want a more disciplined, traditional, old school church? There are churches like that. I don't think that matters. Jesus didn't die for style. Yeah. He died for souls so when you start talking about uh the black church

i think it's important that you understand the church is built on black people and and our doctrine and our theology should be consistent with scriptures of which none of us have mastered and all of us are pursuing but we're not there yet just as she would start going more of communion actually served real what no she said tequila no i said earlier he can feel when the spirit is lying I love you guys. I love people like us. Tequila? No, no.

They're not done. I got it. I got it. They're not done. Can you talk about the Wells Fargo situation? I see you got a 10-year partnership. Yeah, I'm excited about it. I'm excited about it because there's some things that I'm doing around the country with our real estate ventures company

that it gave me another tool to do them with. I've been building communities. I described some of them earlier. Wells Fargo came to the table along with others. This is money to put in infrastructure, sewers, drains, water lines, housing, to build

those houses. Then that contractor that builds those housing to build those houses then that contractor that builds those houses will buy those houses and sell it to a community within the covenants of what we have described for them to work here. So Wells Fargo, a billion dollars worth of capital over 10 years

to make it. A lot of money. Yes, a lot of money. It's a lot of money. In his words, it was historical. Okay. At least a billion dollars from wells fargo is pointed straight at us for us by us to us and uh to me that's an exciting thing what's more exciting than the money and it's not like they gave it to me let me clear that up they didn't give it to me they didn't give it to my. They didn't give it to my church. My church didn't get a billion dollars. You know, my suit didn't come from Wells Fargo. Let's stop all the ignorant things that we think and get down to what a billion dollars means to mothers who are single mothers and want to own a home so that her daughter will be safe.

What it means to seniors who've worked for years, what it means for the fact that you can't afford to live in the city that you work in all around America. It's not just Dallas. It's not just New York. It's everywhere. It's Detroit. It's everywhere. So this will give us an opportunity, mixed income. fair market value below what we call AMI, area median income, sometimes 60% below, sometimes more, to provide that housing mixed in with other people who can afford fair market value

or can afford more leverage. You have to focus on what you believe God gave you to do, the assignment that God gave you to do. Be what you were created to be and be strong enough in your disruptive thinking to withstand the distraction of those who heckle you and do nothing while they criticize your something. Exactly. When was the last time you had to call somebody the N-word, Bishop?

You just lost it. I'm going to plead the fifth on that. i'm not going there with you today okay we're not going to do that disruptive thinking is on sale today there's stories all over the country pick up a copy and and and talk to me on instagram tell me what you think ask me questions hit me up on facebook let me hear from you and let me know. Let's go through the book together. It's audio. It's also written.

And I'm really proud of it. Can you end in a prayer? Yeah, you got to end in a prayer. Are you going to let me pray? Absolutely. Come on, Jeff. Bow your head, please. Bow your head.

First of all, all right. When I leave, y'all go catch it from her. Father, I thank you for the massive privilege of allowing me to pray for not only the people in this room and their careers and their lives and their walk with you, but all the people who are listening right now in the middle of all this turbulence and tests and trials and shaking of economy and inflation and all the things that worry us. I speak peace in the middle of fear. I speak confidence in the middle of distress. I preach hope right now. I thank you, Lord, that this day is going to be richer and better because we had this moment together.

Bless those that are sick that are listening, those that are hurt, those that are broken, those that are distraught, those that are wrestling with mental health. Be made well. In the name of Christ our King, Amen. Amen. Well, there you have it. It's Bishop T.D. Jakes. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's D.J.

You see me over here putting my honey in my teeth now. I really was over here putting my honey Putting my honey in my tea now I really was over here

Putting my honey in my tea Right now My lemon ginger honey tea Last night on Basketball Wives Things became I don't watch You watch? No I don't

But people were talking about this Now things became tense Between Basketball Wives star Brooke Bailey And Jackie Christie During their reunion You know Brooke Bailey too Okay

Now Christie was talking about How good of a friend she is And how good of a friend she's been. Well, child. Tell me something, bro. Brooke Bailey didn't like that. Brooke Bailey said, you sit here and you say how great of a friend you've been to people, but I really feel like you're not. You ain't selling me this one. You know why you ain't selling me this one?

Because you don't even really watch this show. See, them other little shows you be watching, you really be into those. But you ain't really into this. But listen. Brooke went on to say that Jackie never reached out when her daughter passed away. Okay. You remember when her daughter passed away? Her daughter passed away in a car accident a couple of months ago.

God bless. Sending her healing energy. Out in, I believe it was Memphis. She said the rest of the ladies sided with Brooke and said that they expected more from Jackie. After she claims that she is the leader of the group, she says she didn't reach out to her, she didn't do anything, and she is not the friend, honey,

that she says she is. Now, I don't watch this show, but that is terrible. If you and a person are friends, man, and a person's child passes away and you don't reach out, you are a terrible, terrible human. Or not, not a terrible human, but definitely a terrible friend. But, if somebody does pass away, it's hard to have that conversation. After you say, I'm sorry for your loss.

But just send your condolences. That's all. Yeah, but after that, what do you do? Nothing. You don't have to do anything. And moments like that is when you're supposed to just sit back and listen. You know what I mean? And you're supposed to be there for your friend when they need you.

I agree. You don't have to do anything. You send your condolences. You send your flowers. And you wait to see what your friend next steps are well you know and every and every couple of days if you want to you can send that person positive energy love and light that's it right you know don't do stupid stuff and ask them like how you doing what the hell you mean how i'm doing my child just died i don't have no stupid question like that just be there for people okay that's it i get it grief is tough

grief is tough to deal with and it's tough to deal with people who are actually grieving. But it's because human beings have a nature to always want to try to solve a problem. You can't do anything in that situation. You cannot fix that person's problem. Only thing you can do in that situation is be there for that individual when they need you. Tell him, child. That's what I'm talking about. I'm playing with us up here. And that is your rumor report. Nah, we just sitting there playing with our fans. That sound like weird, right?

All right, Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to? Man, four after the hour, man. Can we talk about dumbass parents? You know dumbass parents raise dumbass kids, right? Yeah. I got a couple dumbass parents for you.

We gonna talk about it four after the hour. All right. I thought you was gonna say I got a couple dumbass kids. I was like, whoa, we gonna do too far. They ain't know my kids stupid. Me neither. Their mama too smart. Nah, for after the hour. All right. I got a couple of dumb ass kids. I was like, whoa, we're going to look too far.

My kids stupid. Me neither. Their mom are too smart. Nah, they follow their daddy. They're going to be in some trouble.

I'm tired. I've been telling y'all this all morning. I've gotten 11 hours of sleep, including naps over the last 48 hours.

And for a man born in 1978, that's not good. So if I come across a little cranky this morning, it's because I'm physically tired. And I'm tired of you humans. Okay, I totally understand why they, whoever the hell they is, wants AI to replace us. Okay, in fact, I saw Guardians of the Galaxy 3 over the weekend. Great movie. And I totally understand what the high evolutionary was attempting to do. I don't want to give the movie away, but it's made over 300 million dollars globally already. So who cares? The high evolutionary wants to create a counter-earth, a peaceful utopia filled with his genetic experiments. OK, moral of the story, he wants to replace you humans because y'all really don't know how to act and matt and adele are absolutely no exception see matt and adele believe in

something called unschooling okay they have three children and they say they don't want to force their three kids to learn to read or write hmm what do you say i should should have had Bishop T.D. Jakes I should have asked him does he think Jesus is ever really coming back because I mean why would he at this point? Not only were they not forced their kids to read or write they even allowed them to set their own bedtimes envy.

They said the kids have no fixed schedule or meal times. I can't make this kind of stuff up even though I wish this was made up. Let's listen to the mom talk, please. We do not worry about them not being in school. I would worry about what they were missing out on if they were in school, actually. The complete opposite.

A conventional education, I'd say, is definitely failing a large majority of children right now so to then you know go and accuse someone that opts for a different way to be irresponsible is is ironic to me Adele Allen ladies and gentlemen I actually agree with her in regards to schools not being able to properly educate kids are finding non-conventional ways to educate kids I think it's so many other things that you have to teach your kids at home because they simply won't learn it in school i've even thought about homeschooling my kids for a variety of reasons but school definitely teaches your kids the basics can we and can we talk about the basics there's no world in your world not this earth or the 5 000 super earths that exists out there where someone with common sense would agree that us not teaching our

kids how to read and write is a good thing okay do you understand the level of privilege that one must come from where they can say hey i don't even care if my kids know how to read or write they will be fine i am from south carolina born and raised a state that passed the first law which prohibited teaching slaves to read and write it was illegal to teach slaves how to read and write you would get fined and sentenced to prison if you taught slaves how to read and write i can understand people having reservations on teaching slaves how to you know read and write because there was a punishment for it but now we live in a world where people are willingly not teaching kids their kids how to read and write because they believe in what uh they call child autonomy

uh matt and adele your kids are gonna be stupid they're gonna be so stupid that they're gonna go to the dentist because their bluetooth not working all right let me tell you something man kids are kids for a reason i don't care how smart your children seem to be they have no idea how to make good decisions okay as parents one of our number one jobs to help kids develop the skills they need to keep themselves safe how are they going to take heed to any warning signs when they can't even read the warning on the signs okay i know y'all all want to be progressive and you're letting your kids pick their genders and sexualities which i think is also stupid but do you really want your kids to identify as illiterate? Okay, how are they going to pick a pronoun when they don't even know what a pronoun is? Okay, Matt and Adele said one of their kids didn't pick up a pen to start writing until they were 10.

10? That's crazy. Let me tell you something, you better unschool your kids because if you're not going to teach them how to read and write, this is how they're going to sound when they get called on to reading class. Okay, so let's all open up our reading is fun books to page 69. Danny, maybe again. Once there was a girl who wanted to cut it out. Did you really get us in trouble?

Today, Junior. air air air today junior nothing is more terrifying than reading out loud in class and it's terrifying for kids who know how to read so imagine what your little dumb the dumb dumbs are going to experience okay your kids are gonna be so stupid that they're gonna walk around a library for an hour looking for facebook listen Listen, I don't claim to be the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, nor am I the strongest Avenger. If you're new to the Breakfast Club, that's just my way of saying I'm not the brightest. But I do know that reading is not just fundamental, it's critical. You know that there are families out there struggling with the fact that their kids can't read, all right? There's all types of reasons why kids can't read. Some

folks have a family history of reading and learning issues, dyslexia. Doctors have learned over the last 20 years that there's a heavy genetic component to reading difficulties. In this case, for these poor Allen kids, it's all genetic

because their parents are too damn woke and need to get some sleep. Just like I do. Please give Matt and Adele Allen the biggest e-hall. E-hall. E-hall.

Mm. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. Matt and Adele Allen, the biggest, y'all. No. You don't want to play again? Nope. I don't, actually. You don't want to play again? Nope. Do not. You should know what they are.

The amount of privilege that is in this story that you could just say, hey, I don't want my kids to read or write. It's OK. I'll let them figure it out on their own. You should know what this is. We shouldn't even have to play a game. All right. All right. Well, Caucasian, I know it's going to say, you know, I just want to play. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of know this. I was going to say that. You know this. I just want the play. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Shout out to BET. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Everybody else, the people, everybody else, let's open up the phone lines.

800-585-1051. During the rumors, we tell you about Robert De Niro, 79 years old. Big ball. Welcome to his seventh child. We're asking, what do you think? Is that too old? Too old to what? To have what do you think is that too old too old to what to have a child no it's not too old to have a child

if your penis still works 800-585-1051 but the life expectancy for men in the US is 73 he's over exceeded expectations right

he's 79 he's 79 but you know it's kids need a father it's not like I don't know if the child was planned it's... Kids need a father. It's not like, I don't know if the child was planned. It's just that his penis still works.

He's still getting it in. How old is the baby mama? That's the question that we need to be asking. We don't know. You know, that's the question that we need to be asking. That is the question. Is that too old? What is your thoughts? 800-585-1051.

Expectancy, life expectancy in the U.S. for women is about 79, 80 years old. For men, it's 73. Man, you're thinking about the wrong thing. That man's penis is alive and well. I don't care about when a man's supposed to die. That's what I got to look forward to. Who's going to throw the ball around with the kid? Who's going to teach him how to act? Whoever he paid to do it.

That's Robert De Niro, damn it. We'll talk about it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That ain't calling my phone. Tell her, tell her. the breakfast club awarded the breakfast club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody is dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you just joined us we're're talking about Robert De Niro. Now, Robert De Niro, we got to say congratulations. He welcomed his seventh child at 79 years old. So we're asking 800-585-1051, do you think 79 is too old?

Charlamagne, what do you think? Do I think 79 years old is too what? Too old. No, I cannot wait to get to 79. To have a baby? Listen, I'm not even thinking about the baby aspect. I'm thinking that this man's penis still works at 79 years old. Like, I mean, alive and well, right?

And, of course, you know, I think men can have babies for as long as they're alive and as long as your penis works. Correct, yeah, as long as the penis works. So I'm not even looking at it from the aspect of, you know, he had a baby. I could care less. He's 79 years old. He's got his money. He's wealthy. I don't know who the baby mother is, but God bless her.

You know what I mean? His penis still works. His brain still works. That's all I want at 79 years old. It's not about the penis, though. What else is it about? This conversation sounds crazy. What else is this about?

Memories. What do you mean? Do you know how many movies he got for his child to grow up watching? But who's going to play softball with him? Whoever he pays to play softball with him. Whoever he pays to play basketball. I don't know how old the mother is. Who's going to teach him how to put a condom on?

He don't need one to learn how to put a condom on at that age. He's a kid. He'll learn all of that stuff as he gets older. All I'm simply saying is, are you saying that he's too old because he could pass away and he won't be here for the baby? Correct. He could die.

You thought I was saying, I don't know what I say. I'm tired, but I think you crossed those bridges when you get there. You can't cross that bridge. Cause you can't come back. When you die, you can't come back.

You meet him at the crossroads. He won't be lonely. Hello. Hey, what's your't be lonely. Hello. Hello. Hey, what's your name? Joanna. Joanna. Jo, Jo, Joanna. Jo, Joanna.

There you go. What's your thoughts, mama? So I heard when Charlamagne was saying that, you know, Robert De Niro kids is going to be good because, you know, he's well off. I understand that completely. But when my father had me, he was 53 and my mother was 28. Damn!

Jesus. Y'all Puerto Rican? Yes, I am Puerto Rican. Right on the nose. That's right. You stupid. You stupid. It ain't a stereotype if it's true.

Okay, so go ahead, Mama. Talk to her. So I'm just saying, like, as far as, you know, in 10 years, Robert Daniels probably shall, you know, won't have his dad around. My father passed away when I was 12. I wouldn't care about the money he left and anything. I would rather have my father around for lessons, for love,

for different type of reasons. So it's like kind of 50-50. It's not really just because he has money. That child's going to grow up without a father. Because he's old, let's be real. Yeah, but the reality is that kid was obviously meant to be here. You know what I'm saying? Like, clearly God has a plan for that young child that's coming into the world. It's not Robert De Niro's fault that he's 79 years old, still out here having sex and having babies.

What, you're supposed to not f*** off at 79 years old? Nah, we're a condom. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up? It's Drake. Drake? What's up, Drake're supposed to not f*** off at 79 years old? Nah, wear a condom. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up? It's Drake. Drake? What's up, Drake? Talk to us. Man, I think it's a little too old, man. This kid gonna need his dad when he get a little old. I don't think he meant to do this, y'all.

Y'all are making it seem like he meant to have the baby. He knew what he was doing. He's been doing it. He already has six kids. Yeah, but he wasn't thinking about that. I know I wouldn't be thinking about that at 79. You know what I mean? I wouldn't be thinking I'm about to have a baby. Hello, who's this? Teresa. Hey, Teresa. What's your thoughts, mama?

I think that's definitely too old. Only because I was in that current situation about maybe almost a year ago when he was 62. And I'm only 30 years old. And we've been together

for almost five years. So you wanted a baby. He's 62 and you were like, you don't want to have a baby just in case he dies because he's getting up there in age and you want to make sure that the father's around for the baby.

He was down for it though. But I just didn't feel like it was fair to my future children. Is that the man's fault? I respect you. And I'm going to tell you why I respect you. Because that is true. Is it the man's fault or is it the woman's fault?

The woman knows she's laying down with a 79-year-old man. You lay down with a 79-year-old man, you should be thinking about stuff like that. If this man get me pregnant, you know what I mean? He's not going to be around for the child. And you should be thinking I might get this old man a heart attack. That's the one thing I think. No, he was very healthy. Like, he had absolutely

no health issues whatsoever. But still, I just didn't think that it was clear to my future children that, you know, their father's gonna be 80 years old.

And what can you do? What can you do? You can't play ball with them. You can't take them on trips. You can't go to games with them. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Stop that. Stop that.

Y'all saying all of this, but then next year, 2024, Joe Biden going to be running for president. Y'all ain't going to be thinking about that. And Trump up in age, too. Trump about 77, 78 in damn self. Now, there's a lot of... I'm saying one of them should be in office, if you ask me. I agree. Now, Robert De Niro's 79.

I'm not going to say... She said old people can't go on vacation. Yes, they can. Like, what's wrong with you? There's a lot of healthy 79 years, 80-year-olds that go on vacation, that still have sex, that still do everything. If I'm 79, my penis still working. I'm definitely still going on vacation. And Donald Trump is 76 years old.

Okay? So, I want y'all to keep all this same energy next year when it's presidential election time. And you got old and older running. Oh, boy. 800-585-1051. We're talking about Robert De Niro. We got to congratulate him. He welcomed his seventh child.

But we're asking. That's not why I'm congratulating him. He's 79 too old to have a baby. Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby.

Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. If you just joined us, we're talking about Robert De Niro. He's 79 years old, and he welcomed his seventh child. Let me see when Robert De Niro turns 80.

Let me look this up. What does it matter? You're looking at this all wrong, man. Why am I looking at this wrong? As a man, you should be saying to yourself, damn, his penis still working at 79. He's still shooting the club up at 79 years old. Oh, his birthday's in August, so he about to be 80 this year. Man, drop one of Clues Bond for that OG, man.

Please, God, give me 80 years old and a hard penis. Please, please, please. What? You want to be 80 and a hard penis? That's kinky, bro. I can't. Please, God, let me make it to 80 years old years old and a hard penis. Please, please. What? You want to be 80 and a hard penis? That's kinky, bro. Please, God, let me make it to 80 years old and still have a hard penis. Thank you, God. Please, please, God, you know what I want.

Please. We're asking, is that too old? Charlamagne's over here praying for hard penis. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Sha from Brooklyn. Hey, Sha from Brooklyn. 79, is that too old to have a baby? Definitely too old. Come on, now. That's ridiculous. We that too old to have a baby? It's definitely too old.

Come on now. That's ridiculous. We ain't talking about women now. We talking about men. It's still too old. You're just, if you can reproduce, reproduce. But who's raising the child? Not a 79-year-old man.

That's what I'm saying. I don't know how old the mother is. I don't know how old the mother, the baby mama is. But still, the dad got to be around. He will be. Daddy, daughter, dancers, and all that stuff. You gotta be around. Hey, man. He got another five years left. Come on, now. Don't put that on him. Don't put that on him. Goodbye. Hello, who's this?

Yo, what's up, man? It's your first show. What's happening? Hey, good morning, bro. What's your opinion? We're talking Robert De Niro. He's 79. He just had his seventh child. What's your thoughts? So, in his hands, this is part of his legacy. Who do I see my legacy in order to have this legacy? So, who can't live without the high school? So, if he's 79, how do we criticize a man for his greatest part of his legacy?

So, leave that man alone and go listen to Stone Up. I'm so... Damn. You cut him off when he started promoting his music, man? Yes. But, no, he got a point. And another thing I was thinking... You heard what he said. I didn't even hear what he said. He said that, you know,

something about legacy and let people have their legacy. But the thing is this. You can have a baby at 25 and don't know if you're going to be here tomorrow. Yeah. So what are we talking about here? You know what I'm saying?

Like, I mean, I get what y'all... I get what y'all saying, but, you know, everything don't know if you're going to be here tomorrow. Yeah. So what are we talking about here? You know what I'm saying? Like, I mean, I get what y'all saying, but, you know, everything don't have the perfect plan attached to it, buddy. Hello, who's this? Troy Johnson from Seattle. Hey, Troy Johnson from Seattle. What's your thoughts, brother? I think he should be supported by everyone in having a child. I don't have a problem with it.

I don't even know what people are upset about. Okay. Well, he has his other kids of 51, 46, 27, 27, 25, and 11. And I bet you they having more erectile dysfunction than they daddy. Shut up. Hello, who's this? Christian. Hey, Christian.

Good morning. Talk to us. What's going on, man? What's going on, man? 79 years old, brother. What's your thoughts? Man, I think Robert De Niro is too old to be having kids for a few reasons. We waiting to hear him. First of all few reasons. We waiting to hear them.

Say again? We waiting to hear them. I can't hear you, I'm sorry. Can't talk! Oh. Just 80 years old, man. He's already exceeded his life expectancy. And I get that, yeah,

his kids will be finally able to be stable. But above all else, kids want their parents. That's what I said. He's going to have that as an adult. Yeah, but his kids, especially if he has a son, he's going to have something to look forward to. He's going to be like, damn, my daddy was still shooting the club up

at 79 years old, almost 80. My genetics is going to be good. Let's go to one more caller. Hello, who's this? This is Brian. Hey, Brian, what's going on? Oh, not a thing, not a thing. Just enjoying listening to y'all this morning.

Thank you, Brian. Thank you, brother. Now, what's your thoughts on Robert De Niro, 79, welcome to 7th Child? Oh, you know what? I think as long as he's able to take care of it, that's what the game's all about. No. Still got to be there for your kid.

Yeah, there we are. Still got to be there for your kid. Yeah, well, he's got to be there for the child, of course, but as long as he's able to take care of his kid, then he's all good. I don't like y'all shaming this man because you see women

getting pregnant at 50-something years of age and ain't nobody saying nothing about that. That's the theory. You know what I mean? And people know how dangerous that can be,

but now all of a sudden a 79-year-old man have a baby and it's a problem. Why? I think if a 79-year-old woman had a baby, I think it'd be a conversation. It'd be a miracle.

That's what it would be. It wouldn't be a problem. It would be a damn-year-old woman had a baby, I think it'd be a conversation. It'd be a miracle. That's what it would be. It wouldn't be a problem. It would be a damn miracle. What's the moral of this point, man? The moral of the story is I'm just happy that this man penis worked at 79 years old. Y'all looking at this all wrong.

Oh, my goodness. All I want when I'm that age, first of all, I want to be that age. Please, God. I want to be that age. Yes, absolutely. That's number one.

Number two, I want my brain to work. Correct. Number three, I want my penis to work. Yes, but I'm not shooting man milk all over the place. You know what? That's number one. Number two, I want my brain to work. Correct. Number three, I want my penis to work. Yes. But I'm not shooting man milk all over the place. You know what?

That just sounded crazy. Would it still be milk at that age? What is it? Dust. Powdered dust. Goodness gracious. You got to add some water to it to turn it into some liquid. Goodness gracious.

God bless that man, Robert De Niro, man. And sooth all the 79-year-old Dr. Who penis still work. I wonder if he's using anything. He has. Honey pack? Honey pack or the gas he kills. The pink horse power cam? What do you think?

I don't know. Something. All right. Now, when we come back, we got your rumor report. Soulja Boy, Big Soulja, he has some words for Little Dirk and NBA Youngboy. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Rumor has it. Rumor. Rumor has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty.

I don't gossip. 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. Big T. I don spills, right? On The Breakfast Club. Big tea. I don't know if you want your fan or not, but we're going Real Housewives of Atlanta.

I'm definitely getting my fan. All right, let me get mine. What we got about R-H-O-A? All right. You watch that, though? I do. Okay. So this is about Kim Zoliak and her estranged husband, Troy.

Ooh, ooh. Party for the party. That's right. Now, remember, Troy used to be in the NFL. I didn't know that. He retired. Him and his wife got married. They were on Housewives of Atlanta.

They left Housewives of Atlanta. They got their own show. Now, it was reported after 11 years of marriage and four children that the IRS says they owe a million dollars in unpaid taxes. Damn. So she divorced them because she don't want to get caught up in that. That's what people are saying. Allegedly, that's the reason why they're getting a divorce. They're saying that they're still living the same house.

Now, Bethany Frankel. You remember Bethany Frankel, right? Come on, man. That's the homie. Salute to Bethany Frankel. Well, she got on her Instagram yesterday, and she had some things to say about them, child. Kinsolziak and Croy are getting divorced. And I've heard all the rumors about the foreclosure and bringing other people into your life and highlighting it for years on TV. I did it for

a short time. They go with you in when it's happy and everything looks great. And everyone's coming with you when it goes down to the abyss in the pit, slumdog millionaire style. They've always been people who seem like they're spending more than they have. And the thing is, you can't spend more than you make. And it's the old housewives model to get on the show, make no money, spend, spend, logo, logo, car, car, house, house. You're writing checks, you can't cash. And it's gross. It's like what's wrong with America? I heard Kim and Croy owe a million dollars each.

And it's like, good. Pay the IRS. You got to pay. You want to play? You got to pay. If you got it, if you want to play, you got to pay. It sounded to me like Bethany is saying it's better to have money than look like you have money. That's what I took from that.

Yes, correct. But I will also say we don't know what their situation is. Sometimes the IRS will come at you because of what they think and not necessarily what they know. And sometimes you have to fight them out in court. That's why you got to have a good financial advisor. Key word, good. Great.

Good, trustworthy. Financial advisor, accountant, attorney. Salute to Humble and Laura, my financial people. Dropping the clues behind for Humble and Laura.

Lifeline Financial. Great black people. And also, by the way, salute to Bethany Fran franco i used to go on bethany franco's show a lot when she had a show the daytime television show and uh she actually is the reason i named my podcast brilliant idiots oh really yeah because i was doing her show one day and she was talking and she goes you're like she said you say like the smartest dumbest things she was like you're like a like a brilliant idiot and i was like oh okay yeah all right that's why i mean that's why we named the podcast brilliant

You want to make money, make love and memories. You want the penthouse suite with all the amenities. You want acknowledgement for your bravery, not sympathy. You want to be held tight and kissed gently. You want to be free to be yourself without penalty.

You want that chemistry. You want to really be heard and not just pretend to be. You want what you deserve. You want the action style, do the words. Chakras aligned, you at one with the universe. You want to celebrate without occasion. Dim restaurant, lit conversation. You a tequila kind of girl if I'm not mistaken.

I pay attention to detail, little observations. Now you got money goals, body goals. Everything is falling into place for you like dominoes. You look just as good in your clothes as out your clothes. Let's get you out of those. Well, he performed that at the Poetry Lounge in Los Angeles. Now, he didn't say Megan Thee Stallion's name, but everybody said it was clear he was referencing his boo.

But don't tell them y'all ain't going to do nothing to each other when you see each other. Did you take Soulja Boy serious? I don't know, man. I'm just listening to words. Soulja Boy.
