And let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Tess and Figaro. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Kiki from Chi-Town, my favorite place to live. Good morning, sweetheart. And good morning, Charlamagne Tha God. Peace, Tess. Now let's jump right into it.

Republican candidates, who made it to that stage, to that debate stage? Man, it's going down tonight. If you are a Republican are a republican conservative or liberal and you just want good tv i'm looking forward to tonight eight republicans have qualified for the party's first 2024 presidential primary debate again going down tonight wednesday so make sure you check your listings for that now the list includes governor doug bergham governor chris christie governor ron desantis former south your listings for that. Now the list includes Governor Doug Burgum, Governor Chris Christie, Governor Ron DeSantis, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, Governor Ash, I guess a Shea Hutchinson, and former Vice President Mike Pence, Senator Tim Scott, and Vivek Ramasamy. They will all be competing tonight on that stage. Now let's take a listen to see who did not qualify and why. At least three candidates who thought take a listen to see who did not qualify and why.

At least three candidates who thought they would qualify for the debate did not make the cut for the debate. One of them is conservative radio host Larry Elder. He's blasting the requirements and promises to sue the Republican National Committee. Elder released a statement saying in part, quote, I said from the beginning that it appeared the rules of the game were rigged. Elder claims he met all of the criteria to be on the debate stage we've reached out to the republican national committee for a response but we have not heard back damn larry elder didn't make the debate stage after destroying the breakfast what happened to larry that's crazy little old larry that's crazy according to political though they say i know larry elder said he made all the requirements but according to political they said

he didn't so which which one is it yeah i but according to Politico, they said he didn't. So which which one is it? Yeah, I guess according to we'll see if he makes that stage. But it's so interesting, you know, people forget about organizing all of the folks that were cooking the chef Borades that did all of the videos. Imagine if they all would have donated at least one dollar. He would have been able to make it because you needed 40,000 individual contributions, including 200 from each of the 20 states uh you also needed to poll at least one percent in the three qualifying uh national polls and then signed the pledge so it looks like you know he did not make it and he'll be uh possibly suing but that's what i don't understand if he's saying he made all the requirements but i was reading the political article last night political and they said he didn't meet the requirements so which one which requirement didn't he make do we know yeah yeah

i don't know he's somebody lying i heard none of them he didn't make the donations he needed uh and he didn't poll or at one percent in the places he needed to poll at one percent yeah so somebody lying now do you think he'll be someone based on what discrimination because you know we don't really believe in those systems lied. Now, do you think he'll be someone based on what? Discrimination? Because, you know, we don't really believe in those systems. So what do you think will be the premises of it all, Charlamagne?

We talked about it when he was here last week. We did talk about it. I asked him about this in particular because I saw an op-ed that he wrote about it. Do we have it in him saying,

oh, no, I thought maybe we had the audio when he was here. Yeah, I didn't know why y'all didn't donate to Larry Elder's campaign so he could make the GOP debate stage.

Because it seemed like he had a lot of support on social media. You know, I really thought I'm going to be honest with y'all. Before Larry Elder came on this show, I really thought

that was the man who said $40 and baby boy. And he was like, you cannot tell me they don't look y'all. The best thing he did was come on

this show because now i know who he is i had no idea when i said the man and that really you actually wasn't the best thing though because he didn't translate that to see people got to learn how to push the line yeah it was it was at least 40 000 people that made comments that 40 000 that for those 40 000 people they just gave one dollar he would have made the stage he's not good enough to come destroy the breakfast club if you can't destroy your opponent see the goal was to get on the stage and then get your voice heard to millions of people that can actually vote for you that actually can engage with you the the goal wasn't to cook me or charlamagne or cook dj m you did all that cooking but you forgot the sides homie so let's make sure next time we do the entree

and let's get the sides and actually get on the stage. I'm looking forward to it. So those who are interested in getting Larry Elder on the stage, why don't you donate? There's still time. Maybe he can make it. No, he can't make it. He's not making this one. That's the conversation we had with him. I don't know why we don't have the clip, but

sometimes no matter how hard you work, there are systems that are rigged against you that's right trust me black americans we know all right well that is front page news tesla we'll see in a couple of minutes everybody else get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent phone lines are wide open again 800-585-1051 maybe you didn't get a full night's sleep maybe you tired maybe you don't want to go to work today.

So we would always take a cruise wherever we went. So we probably been on six, seven cruise. We would cruise everywhere because my pops didn't fly. Never been on a cruise. What about you? Really?

I love a cruise. The only thing now is that they don't have internet service. Like I don't care what package they try to offer you. It's a lie. It never works. And so that was my only thing. I couldn't get them flicks off on Instagram. I couldn't post.

But other than that, I love a cruise. Yeah, I don't want to be in the middle of an ocean on a boat. That ain't my thing. It's not that bad because you're really only in the middle of the ocean when you're sleeping because they're usually cruising at night. By the time you wake up in the morning, you're at the next destination. I'm not with that. I like to get on a plane, land where I'm going, then get in the water.

There's free food, free liquor a lot of times. They got excursions. The Disney cruise is dope in the water. It's free food, free liquor a lot of times. They got excursions. The Disney cruise is dope for the kids. God bless. I'd rather be on land at Disney. I don't knock nobody

who does cruises. That ain't my thing though. I just, you know, the whole COVID thing bothered me because if one person gets COVID on that boat, everybody's getting it.

It's going around the whole ship. Remember that's what happened when COVID first started popping off. Remember it was that carnival cruise? I don't know if it was carnival

but it was a cruise ship that was stuck out there. And they couldn't dock because everybody was on the boat. Well, then nobody docked. Nah, nah. Ain't nobody got time for that. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vet, hit us up now.

Yes. Okay. So I'm calling because I am a single, hardworking mother at school. Like I said, my daughter is one. Last year, her dad was killed at work in the school. And then my son, his dad lives in Florida. So basically, I've been hardworking and taking care of my kids. But I have a story like this should be heard.

I've been messaging Tyler Perry, all kinds of people. And I didn't know that this was a radio station. And I think my story should be heard. Now, you said your children's dad passed How'd he pass? My daughter's dad, he was killed at work Killed at work? Yes, last year on October 21st My daughter was six months

You mean killed by somebody? Or like in the line It was an accident It was working He was killed by someone Oh damn At work? Sorry to hear that

Yeah, at work. Yikes. What was his line of work, if you don't mind me asking? Well, he worked at an assembly plant for LG, like LG Electronics. Yikes. Yep. But that's not the story that I exactly want to be heard. You know, that's been out there.

It's been on the news and everything. But I have a story myself with everything that I've had going on. Like, my entire life is something that should be heard. I mean, I've been sitting around. I've been thinking, you know, what can I do to get myself out there? I want to be like a nonprofit. There's a lot of things that I got in my head. But, you know, people like me, it can hurt to be out there, you know?

Yeah, I don't know what to tell you, Queen. I'm going to be honest with you. You know, are you doing anything on your social media page to raise awareness? No, I'm just happy to be on the radio because I feel like somebody don't hear me, you know? Maybe you should set up a website, a dot com, you know, telling your story in depth. And then, you know, when you call the radio station, you can direct people to your dot com to raise awareness for it. Or even your IG, if you want to tell your story on IG. What's your IG page, mama?

My IG is underscore underscore hated H-A-T-E-D and then there's four underscores behind that.

Yeah, you need an Instagram page that's telling the story you want to tell. It should be named after that, you know? And I don't know what your husband's name was

or your baby daddy's name was but it should be like his name and his like his name's story. Like, what's his name? His name is Repio Scott French. So Repio's story and then you know you

should have something on social media that you can direct people to so that way you'll be raising awareness to you know his story that way you'll be heard yes yes i'm just happy to be on here um somebody gonna hear me well you have a good one mama have a blessed day kiss them babies you're not here guys no well she said she didn't want the story to be about the ex she said she wanted to be about her life she said she wanted't want the story to be about the ex. She said she wanted it to be about her life. She said she wanted her story heard. Yeah, but when I asked about...

She's going to definitely have that story a part of her story. I'm just saying. She got to get rid of them underscores, though. You got to get rid of them underscores.

Come on, now. People say underscore, and I think he put the type on underscore or something. I'm not going to lie. When somebody be like something, something, underscore, I be like, underscore.

You got to think about that. And then sometimes people be doing like two and three underscores back to back. It somebody be like something, something, underscore, I be like, underscore. You got to think about that. And then sometimes people be doing like two and three underscores back to back. It be confusing. Yeah, you got underscore, underscore, underscore, underscore, underscore. It's not meaningful. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got our guest co-host Kiki with us.

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 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.

What's happening? Happy Wednesday. Okay. All right. It's Wednesday. It's almost the weekend, whatever that means. We got our guest co-host Kiki with us. Yes.

From Chi-Town, and let's jump right into the rumors. Oh, good morning. Hey, friend. Feel free to make yourself at home. Okay. Say less. Kiki. Kiki.

Are you on me? Are you riding? This is the rumor report. I'm the devil. You can get it around here. On The Breakfast Club. Chi-Town. Chi-Town.

Chi-Town. Go ahead. Taylor made it. That's Taylor made it. On the breakfast club. Go ahead. That's Taylor. That's Taylor. Made it one of our producers right there. Hey, she gets busy. Okay.

Young syndrome. If it's one thing, she know how to do good. It's goddamn image. Come on. She snapped. Now let's get into these rumors. Child.

Whoopi Goldberg really didn't try this. Okay. She was recently on an interview with simone and her wife for their podcast it's called the best podcast ever uh with raven and miranda okay flex um but during the conversation uh whoopi goldberg said that she is not something that we probably all thought she was let's take a listen to this audio sometimes whoops you give me lesbian vibes you give me like stud vibes i think this is actually just a secret fantasy of ravens i think she just wants everyone to be gay and she's just really hoping you're gonna come out right here right now so so if you want to tell us anything whoops you're you're more than welcome you have

been asking me this for as long as i've been around. I am not a lesbian, but I know lots of them and I've played them on television. I have always had lesbian friends because they're just my friends. community or the gay community there is something beautiful about a woman being able to embrace their masculine and feminine at the same time and wear it so well like you do i didn't like that oh i didn't like it at all what because i'm sick of the double standards folks got to be consistent with their outrage any other time it's don't ask people about their sexuality stop trying to out people but when raven simone does it to Whoopi, it's okay. I mean. Like, people so fake on social media.

That's why nobody takes y'all serious, for real. You mean the fake outrage? Yes. Also, Whoopi is 67 years old. Why y'all asking her questions like that? Because I really think Raven was trying to smash. Like, I think she was trying to shoot her shot right there with her wife. But if you really think about it, if I was a lesbian,

Whoopi Goldberg to smash Whoopi, like if I was the wife, I would let her get a pass for that one. Kiki, Raven was trying to create content. You think so? Raven was trying to get attention for her podcast. It worked. Raven was trying to go viral.

It definitely worked. It absolutely positively worked. You know what I'm saying? But has that been a question or thought? I've never thought about that a day in my life. Really? I've never thought about who a day in my life. Really? I've never thought about who Whoopi Goldberg was smashing. She has a daughter.

She's been married several times. Yeah, I've never. But all the lesbians I know have been married a couple times to men. So. Y'all going to stop doing Whoopi, man. I don't know why. Why are you playing with Whoopi? Why are you playing with Whoopi?

I feel like every year somebody's playing with Whoopi for some reason, man. Dropping a clothesline for Whoopi Goldberg. I love that woman, man. I don't get it. And I'm sure Raven-Symoné wouldn't have wanted anybody to ask her that back in the day. Well, no, not for sure. She was looking for content for her podcast, which is on iHeartMedia, by the way. I'm trying to throw that out there.

Her podcast is on iHeart. But she was looking for content for her podcast. Bottom line, point blank, period. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Salute to Whoopi again. I just don't like the double standards. Because you know damn well, if that was somebody else asking that question, the Whoopi people

would be so upset right now. Why are you trying to out him? Why are you asking about her sexuality? Absolutely. Who asked you about that sexuality? That's not fair. That's right. That's what y'all do.

That's how y'all play. She didn't seem offended. I think it was all right for Raven to ask. I ain't talking about her offended. I'm talking about everybody else. Everybody else be fake outraged. Yeah, if you asked. That's right.

She said Whoopi reminds her of a stud, she said. Did she say that? She did say that. She said, you give me stud vibes. I'm playing that again right now. Stud vibes. Ain't that wild? Yeah, bone, studs, and harmony is crazy.

Go ahead. Continue on. Oh, okay. I thought we was running it back. All right. Well, let's move right on because um cardi b is saying yet again that's my man and i'm gonna stick beside him after uh social media accused offset of cheating again by circulating what cardi says is a fake video using ai to

recreate offset's voice uh let's take a listen to what cardi had to say i wonder how mr benny wayne walker jr is going to feel when like he receives a letter to his workplace and to his home because his son ashton decided which he's a graphic designer to put tattoos on somebody else's body claiming that is my husband which by the way babe if you wanted to make it more convinced that i was my husband you should make sure that you put the blonde dreads in the bottom and also my husband is not that skinny so yeah yeah so you guys are gonna receive a letter from his lawyer because all these little games that you guys want to play online is gonna be over with make sure you have fun explaining that to your father babes because you because you're going to be getting sued and we're going to make an example out of you.

I'm so for it. Sometimes when people play, you got to you got to play back and you got to play the correct way. And that sometimes means in court. I want you all to know this is our future. This is where we are going. I told you this much ago right here on Breakfast Club. The lines of reality and fantasy are already blurred right now ai is gonna obliterate them all together and this time next year especially during the presidential

election we're not gonna know what's real and what's fake you're gonna hear phone calls you're gonna hear voice voice recording video pictures the deep fakes are gonna get better we are not going to know what's real and what's fake so just get prepared for it y'all and i love when cardi gets that voice when she started recording her videos and her soft voice she's definitely about to sue you and she wins she wins in court she basically said how your daddy gonna feel when i tell him that his son is a punk ass bitch but but not only that you gotta you gotta pay for you gotta pay for defense you gotta pay for an attorney. Yeah. And I'm sure Cardi B's attorneys ain't cheap. She don't play.

So then you got to try to match that same energy. I think people don't realize when you get sued, there's only two things to do. You either got to hire an attorney to fight the lawsuit or you don't fight the lawsuit and you end up losing because you default. Correct. Because you don't show up to court

or you just lose the case because you didn't show up. Correct. That's usually what I think. I think a lot of these people think that's what they can do. Just ignore. Oh, they're going to go away? Ignore the lawsuits. It's like, no, you're going to lose the case.

And then she's going to garnish away at different losses. And then, yes, it's going to be a problem. We see it with Tasha K now with the lawsuit. But what are we supposed to do, fellas, in the future when AI, like you catch your man cheating or somebody gives a video, what are we supposed to do when he can blame the future when AI, like you catch your man cheating or somebody gives a video. What are we supposed to do when he can blame it on AI? Black men don't cheat. Black men, we don't cheat.

That's number one, Kiki. So who are you talking about when you say it? Light-skinned and dark-skinned men. We won't call them black. I don't know who you're talking about. I don't know who you're talking about either. Ladies, be safe. That's right.

He Puerto Rican. That's the rumor. That's it. That's Puerto Rican in the room. Black men don't cheat. I don't cheat. Well, that is your rumor report. When we come back, we got front page news. Tezlin Figaro will be joining us. And then, Donnell

Rawlings is back in the building. So we'll kick it with Donnell. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club on BET. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

We are The Breakfast Club. We got our guest co-host Kiki with us this morning from Chi-Town. Good morning. And let's get in some front page news. What up, Ted?

What up, Ted? What's going on, DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God, and good morning, beautiful Kiki. Hey, Queen. Before you get into the news, Ted, I want to say drop on the clues bombs for South Carolina. That's right. Vegas Aces dropped 53 last night, tied the all-time scoring record in the WNBA. Salute to the South Carolina legend, Asia Wilson. Yeah, salute.

Asia, you know, Asia's already home. You know that, right? Like, she got a statue in front of Colonial Life Arena. Oh, that is dope. Columbia, South Carolina. Like, Asia home already. That's dope. Shout out to Asia Wilson.

All right, well, let's jump into Donald Trump now. Yeah, Donald Trump said that he has already taped an interview that he will be airing tonight uh to spite the debate basically i guess the king of petty decided to not uh be on the debate stage and he will be interviewing again with tucker carlson they do not know exactly where that will be aired but folks would assume it will be on twitter we know that you know tucker came out a couple couple months back with now saying that he will be putting content on Twitter. So Trump said that the American people already knows who I am. I will therefore not be debating.

So we will see, you know, what that looks like. See if that pulls some of the viewers away from the Republican debate. And I'm looking forward to it all. Yeah, I mean, there really is no reason for him to be on that stage because Trump would suck all the air out of the room. The only people on the stage I think would even remotely try to go at him is Christie and Mike Pence, and they really can't go at him too much because they all

rode his D for so long. You know what I mean? So I think everybody else on that stage would just be auditioning to be his running mate, even though I personally think the GOP should move away from Donald Trump. You got 91 criminal charges for indictments. You might have to sit this one out, brother. You know what I mean?

So it would be a good opportunity for these other people to show who they are and what they got, but I don't think any of them have that kind of gumption to do that. You think it's going to be a big attack on Trump? That's going to be the majority of the questions? No. The only person going to do that, I mean, they're going person gonna do that i mean they're gonna ask about trump but none of them

they all want to coach with trump right you know so how so how could they really really go at him true and none of them will except for maybe princeton christie maybe now juliana has to turn himself in today right yeah absolutely he's turned himself in as well and we all know that friday uh is the big day for everyone uh to all of the the folks who got caught that rico charged with trump uh to surrender she gave them until high noon on friday so uh yes he's expected to turn himself in today we also covered that you know donald trump negotiated his uh bond amount at two hundred thousand dollars so uh we'll see if folks will actually be arrested detained and we'll see if some mugshots will be taken this time around

I saw one this morning I saw Trump's lawyer did he already turn himself in? Yeah he turned himself in yesterday Yeah I saw Trump's lawyer mugshot so if Giuliani get a mugshot man we might get that Trump mugshot by the way that Trump mugshot gonna be on t-shirts by Friday morning I'm telling you that right now

yeah like crazy old thug and old Caucasian life they're gonna be ocl they're gonna be on t-shirts by friday morning better believe that my goodness all right and you want to do this last uh story about the commercial airlines in the u.s yeah this was crazy i don't know if you guys saw this i was all over the news on yesterday and they actually have an interactive map that i encourage you guys to go look at all of these close calls uh with these commercial airlines that basically, you know, almost had a bunch of different accidents in the air. It was like 46 close calls last month.

American Airlines, Delta, everybody but Southwest. I'm just teasing that Southwest was included. Yeah, everybody. We tease a lot about that, but everybody was included. It was really interesting. It said a shocking 99% of all air traffic control facilities are understaffed, according to the New York Times. They found 310 out of 313 did not have enough workers. So it's a really, really scary thing. So, guys, go check that out. New York Times busted that story wide open, and you can see how these airplanes were literally, you know, about to collide on occasions made me i'm lost because don't they have radar and all that other stuff can't

they see each other in the sky like that that's what i figured and thought right that's what you thought so that that's that's what the problem is understand they don't have enough controllers uh that's what they're trying to figure out dj i fly here in the next couple of hours so this isn't the best story to do before i get on the plane but certainly was uh very alarming i encourage you go look at that map all right well that is front page news thank you tesla absolutely and make sure you subscribe to tesla figaro's podcast the screenshot no chaser podcast on the black effect iheart radio podcast network and follow at tesla figaro on all social media platforms. All right. Now, when we come back, Donnell Rawlings will be joining us.

You know, comedian, actor. So we're going to kick it with Donnell. He's in town. Of course, it's Dave Chappelle's birthday, I think, tomorrow. Tomorrow, Dave Chappelle turns 50, if I'm not mistaken. 50? Yeah, Dave Chappelle turns 50 tomorrow. And Dave's doing a couple of shows this week at the Garden.

And Donnell is going to be headlining at the New York Comedy Festival in November. So we're going to give away some tickets for that too. Okay. Alright. Keep it locked. Donnell, when we come back, it's The Breakfast Club on BET. The Breakfast Club. What's wrong, man? I'm not about to cry. What's going on? Is there something you want to tell us, Donnell?

I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. I'm not here for that, son. I'm not here for that, son. It's me. Hi. I'm the problem. It's me.

Yo, and I'm going to tell you. And the reason why I quoted that song, because I never thought that I needed any type of mental intervention until I got connected. And I'm one of a few. I'm a black Swifty. What does that mean? I'm a person that supports Taylor Swift

and her music and not that I'm a super fan of Taylor Swift but that song It's Me Hi you know what I'm talking about right? I'm the problem

it's me at tea time everybody agrees I stare directly no first off I stare directly into the sun

but never in the mirror it must be so exhausting always searching for the anti-hero that song was a song that made me say to myself you know what and the reason why i like that song the first step and you're meant to go getting healed is under identifying that you accountability might be the problem that is so crazy that Charlamagne, the brother, the black man, has been telling you this for years, but you listen to the white woman?

Damn. You know what? You're trying to get Dr. Umar on me, son. Don't even try. Don't think about it. No, he ain't been telling that. You've been telling him for years to go to therapy

and look at himself in the mirror and help yourself out. He ain't said like that. He said it like this. N***a, you need help. That's different from... That's different from... maybe you need some therapy. So you listen to the white woman, but not the guy that looks like you.

You know what, I'm not doing that. You can't tell me. Me, look at the sun, not the mirror. Very horrible melody. Don't ever do that again. But I sit, and I haven't seen a therapist yet, but I have contemplated it because I deal with, as we all do, childhood trauma. Now, what's the biggest childhood

trauma that bothers you? Me? You want to know? Yes, sir. I don't even know if I can say this, and y'all gonna laugh at me. I'm not gonna laugh at you. I promise you we're not gonna laugh. When I grew up, and I remember. No, I'm not laughing at you. That's so foul, man.

That's just the way you started, man. Your voice cracking for no reason. The man said he's having a problem. I'm serious, I'm serious. And see, this is... No, I got that. You're right. That's my...

You're right. Who talks like that? Master P. That's right. He talk like... No, Birdman. Birdman. Everybody.

A lot of people from New Orleans talk like that. Okay, all jokes aside. My childhood trauma, it comes from when I grew up. Not like Envy. Envy came from a two-parent household. I did. Right? Yes.

I grew up and I had flakes with no frost. So you were poor. And you got two different types of bitches. You got bitches that grew up with cornflakes and frosted flakes. Look at you, Envy. You had frosted flakes. No, my parents actually cooked me bacon sausage and pancakes every morning damn so you had breakfast breakfast every morning and i'm

gonna tell you people that grew up with no sugar on their cornflakes they built different they usually um go to jail they usually probably have an issue with the temper and violence and stuff and i grew up not having the experience of at the end of a bowl of cereal the milk tasting like sugar when i grow up grew up it was cornflakes and at the end of that bowl your milk tastes the same way it started and i think that's a lot of my mental issues come from not having experience to eat frosted flakes that's why so you're poverty growing up that's all yeah yeah and it hurt me yeah yeah you know but I learned to be tough, but I didn't want to be tough.

Are you triggered when you see boxes of Frosted Flakes, man? Oh, God, hell yeah. When you hear Tony Tiger say, there's a great... F*** you and that Tiger. Damn.

Yeah, I have a problem with that, but I'm working through it. I'm getting help. Speaking of which, you're doing f***ing Andrew Schultz. Okay. And the reason why I say that, I really appreciate Andrew Schultz,

what he did for his career, what he's done. He's self-made. But I saw a, I really appreciate Andrew Schultz, what he did for his career, what he's done. He's self-made. But I saw a clip of y'all talking about it. And he, in your face, tried to compare Taylor Swift to Michael Jackson. And you hee-hee hard with that. Donnell, you old enough to know when you see a good edit. We had a 30-minute conversation, an michael jackson and beyonce and

he said taylor swift is on the same level as michael jackson and you said yeah he he you didn't say that no i didn't say that what did you say i said that uh i said taylor i said taylor i said taylor swift might look like michael jackson okay good point but But not really that. But no. First off, you can't put nobody in the same sentence with Michael Jackson. I know that. I think it's disrespectful even when they say the weekend. But why didn't you stop him? I did. No, you didn't.

You saw a 30-second clip down there. That was a 40-minute conversation. And guess what? Speaking of that 30-minute clip, you saw an edited clip of me one time, and you ran with it. What edited clip? That clip when they say I ran out on the Tony, when I got roasted and left the stage. Oh, yeah.

You ran with that. You couldn't wait. You was like, oh, we got him. And what happened was I was on Kill Tony's podcast, right? And I had a sushi date at one of the best sushi spots in Texas. I was already in the podcast for an hour. I said, man, I got to get out of here. I said, I need to go to the bathroom, right?

And I never came back. Oh, he got a hold of that edit on the Brilliant Idiots or Idiots Brilliant or whatever they call it. Brilliant Idiots, yeah. Yeah, Idiot Brilliance. What is it?

Brilliant Idiots. He couldn't. He was like, look at me. He ran. So I do know what a doctor video. But they did that to you on purpose, though. They put Donnell Rawlings

walks out on Kill Tony podcast. But that's what people do. They put out the headline that they want. I didn't even defend Michael Jackson is my question. I did defend Michael Jackson. And then you let the white man go on. He's not the white man? Andrew?

Yeah. Yeah, he a white man. Why you have to say his name like that? What? Andrew? Of course he's a white man. He's a wonderful white man. But I did defend Michael Jackson and Beyonce.

It's a 40-minute clip. And Andrew did exactly what he was supposed to do because if you watch the clip really in the beginning, he goes, oh, you know, I know how to get a rise

out of people. He's a provocateur. Is that fair to say? Yes. And that's what the podcast world is coming to. And I believe the podcast world is coming to the point

you might not feel a certain way about something, but you know what pushes it down. You know what? You built a career off of it. I see where you're going, but I'll take it a step further because you're a comedian, so you can understand this. Humorous. Sarcasm is a lost art. Satire is a

lost art. People don't respect it, though, because they take everything too serious. That's right. That's right. That's what satire is. Oh, did he mean that? He did a deadpan. That's right. He's standing in your face. He's saying that. But my point to Taylor Swift, I want to go see one of her concerts. No joke. I want to see it. But when you talk about Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift. I want to go see one of her concerts. No joke. I want to see it. But when you talk about

Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, perfect example. You play a Taylor Swift song in the hood. Taylor Swift, man. Taylor Swift. What did I say?

Taylor Swift, man. You went to high school with her. Stop correcting me, please. You didn't see Beyonce's show? No, I want to see. You can talk about Taylor Swift, but you'll be talking about the queen of Beyonce.

Maybe you're not paying attention to this interview. Maybe you're focused on something else. Got to call a lawyer or something. I don't know what your focus is. That's not the point I'm making. Man, get them off you this morning.

All right, well, don't move. We got more with Donnell. 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. We're still kicking it with actor, comedian Donnell Rollins, friend to the room.

Charlamagne. How long have you been making money doing what you do, Donnell? Making money? Yes. Okay. I've been doing it for over 30 years. But you've been a successful comedian for at least 15, 20. I would say 15 or 10.

That's a long run. It all depends on what you're doing. That's a great run. That's a great run. This is the point I'm making. Okay. With these kids that were like, okay, you get popping for a couple years, whatever. That's cool.

But try and see where your relevance is going to be 30 years from now. Absolutely. And that's the biggest thing. I'm just happy that I'm still in the game. People, when they start, they have different things they want. Nowadays, like, I want to be rich and I want to be famous. I never wanted to do that. The only thing I wanted to do was be good.

And I realized, and people don't think about that no more. That's right. If you're good at something and you got the work ethics you will blow up and also being happy at the lowest level of your career I mentor people the first thing they say is Donnell what should I do I'm like first off in entertainment you have to be able to be happy being broke that's right if you can't find no happiness in a struggle you're not going to get the rewards of it if you think about it Envy you're very successful Charlemagne I in a struggle, you're not going to get the rewards of it. If you think about it, Envy, you're very successful. Charlemagne, I hate to say it, you're very successful.

But when you share stories... Why do you say you hate to say it? Because I hate to say anything good about this. Okay, I got you. The n***a haunted me in South Carolina, right? I was at his hotel. I went to the hotel. Everybody's like, every time I go there, they're like this.

What's up with you, Charlemagne? I say, f*** Charlemagne. I go in my hotel room. This f***ing cover of one of the magazines. That's right, Charlestonlamagne I said f*** Charlamagne I go in my hotel room this f*** cover of one of the magazines that's right Charleston Magazine I hated that

and then I was like here on the front page I kept flipping and flipping it was more let me go get it nah burn that

Jesus Christ but I lost my thought you know how weird what was I saying you was talking about ageism and you said no you said I'm successful Charlamagne's successful

I don't know where you was going with that what I was saying was but when you talk to your people, and people always, they look at you like, oh, Envy got everything. Envy made a good life

for herself and his family. But I guarantee you, when you're talking to your friends and you're talking to people and you're mentoring people, you don't talk about where you are now.

The most fulfilling stories for you are the ones, this is what we did. The process. I remember when we was in a Volkswagen bug, we was going here, we ran out of gas.

Those are the stories. And that's what people don't was in a Volkswagen bug. We was going here. We ran out of gas. Those are the stories. And that's what people don't connect with anymore. Right. You are absolutely right. And this is why I respect anybody who's been in it for a decade. Like, even all the youngins, right? When we talk about the DC Young Fly, the Jess Hilarious. You know, we started.

Those two I respect. They started on social media. A lot of social media. I'm with you. But you know what they did outside of social media? They went and they Developed other skill sets Like being on that stage Right

And to your point Me and Rodney Barnes Just talking about this yesterday Shout out to Rodney Barnes I want some more work Go ahead You have to be good at something We come from an era

Where you had to have Some type of skill set Correct There's no skill set To be had no more But in Going back to what you said You predict those two

You said Jessalers I remember Years ago She slid in my DM. I could tell it was somebody that was interested in coming. This was the time when she probably had 10,000 followers. Y'all from the same area? Yeah.

And she was like, yo, OG, what do I need to do? And the only thing I said was, get on stage. I said, get on the mic. And everything you need to learn about this business, you're going to learn from the mic. There's no shortcuts. You know, but I respect her career because she put the work no matter what you want to say about her. She put the work. You can be good at something, but if you don't have the work ethics, you're going to be dead.

But it's like what you said, you know, you have to be happy being broke. Right. And the reason I say that is, is I started as a DJ. Right. It didn't matter if I was getting $200 a party, $100 a party. I enjoyed it. Like, I was in my basement practicing. Same thing with you as comedy.

Same thing with Charlamagne with radio. It didn't matter. Now, it's great to make money off of the things you love to do. But a lot of these kids now do it for the likes. They do it for the clout. They do it for this, which a lot of times is not longevity. And then you say something to them. The first thing they do is like, you're old-fashioned. No, I'm i'm not saying that i am from the old school and i'm from a place where

you had to be good i'm from a place where you had to have a skill set you know i'm saying i had a not an argument with conversation with a young lady like three or four years she said i do comedy i'm a comedian and i was like let me see some of your stuff she put a phone and she was like oh i got this clip i was like that's not a comedian this clip. I was like, that's not a comedian. She said, yes, it is. I said, that's not a comedian. But she broke it down. She showed me the definition. Comedian is someone that entertains an audience through humor.

So her definition is true to her. It's not true to me. You're talking about stand-up. Stand-up. When I was coming up, you didn't have to separate them. You didn't have to separate stand-up, Stand-up. See, when I was coming up, you didn't have to separate them. You didn't have to separate stand-up, comedian, comedian. The minute you heard the word comedian, you was thought to be a stand-up comic. Let me ask you a question.

Outside of Dave, is there any comedian that you hate going behind? I don't want to say hate because I always feel it's a challenge. There's not too many people that I can't go behind for different reasons. I have a different type of energy. I will say, it's crazy you asked me that question because it happened to me the other day. And I haven't felt this pressure in a while. I was doing Royale's show, Mixtape.

Shout out to Royale. And I was looking at the lineup and George Wallace. Oh, OG. Oh, it was blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. George Wallace, Donnell. And I'm like this. I'm so caught up in watching an icon, like a legend.

He don't get his props. Came up with the sign. Like, George Wallace has been a beast for years. One of the only black guys that held a Las Vegas residency as long as he did. Maybe like 15, 20 years. But he's a beast. And the thing about it, at his age, 40 years, you can still tell he still loves it. Right. He was on stage

ripping, standing low, and I'm like, oh, you next. Still went up there and did my thing. Switched the energy up, but nah, I don't ever be afraid to go behind anybody. There are comments, I saw I worked with Tony Roberts recently, and I said, Tony, damn, I forgot

how it feel to come behind somebody that just ate the room up. There's people out there, L, I forgot how it feel to come behind somebody that just ate the room up. There's people out there, LaVell Crawford is another one. There are people out there that rip the rooms. I think after a while

you get a certain amount of experience. You know how to either ride the energy or switch it. And I really believe pound for pound I can go with anybody

in the country. Let me say this. Donnell is one of the funniest stand-up comics in the world. Yes. this donnell is one of the funniest stand-up comics in the world yes i gotta say that or not he'll be sensitive and say i never say anything good about him even though i say this all the time even when he's not around no you don't that's a lie you don't i mean we just got to this point because of a lot of therapy that's not true no we've heard i say it all the time no i respect you one of the nicest and i think out of comedians i

think you and capone are the two comedians i've seen the most. Like, I must have seen you about 15 times. And then you see me, like, this is what I tell people. You see me now working arenas. Not because I'm signing an arena, because I'm with people. You see me in these high-profile shows. But you see me from, like, the Naki Saki days, the Manhattan Properties, when it was really... So did I! Where?

Caroline's Comedy Club. You talk about the hole in the wall? Caroline's Comedy Club. You talking about the hole in the wall to get you there and you talking about I'm talking about shooting outside. I'm talking about

you know, pistols. The bike playing through the DJ sound. We was trying to at Caroline's it was a chitlin circuit. We were trying to

go from that to Caroline's. That was a rite of passage. Caroline's comedy cellar like it was a lot of us we did nakitakis and then one thing i'll say about black comedy when we weren't accepted in different places

we create our own opportunity peppermint lounge perfect example you know about the peppermint lounge yes and everybody in that breakfast thing but it was called the peppermint yeah it was it did that was covid in there before we even had a title for it that's crazy i'm sure but peppermint lounge was it was a workout ground if you did peppermint lounge and you ripped peppermint Lounge was, it was a workout ground. If you did Peppermint Lounge and you ripped Peppermint Lounge, that was the approval or letting them know that you were just good as death to him. Bob Sumner. Yeah, Bob Sumner. That's my guy.

And when I did it, when I did an audition for Peppermint Lounge, Royale Watkins was hosting. You get like seven minutes. And I was a young comic. I was only doing comedy for six months when I got the audition. I was on stage. I had seven minutes. I did five. And I'm ripping. And Royale comes to the side stage and he said, Bob loves you. I got the audition. I was on stage at seven minutes. I did five and I'm ripping. And Royale comes to the side stage and he said, Bob loves you. You got

the show. I immediately said, thank you. Good night. Because if I would have took a chance another two minutes and got booed or something, it would have been done. I was going to ask you, you know, recently people were mad at Steve Harvey for tweeting what stand-up comedian do you think is not funny? And they said it feels like, first, maybe he didn't post it, it was one of his handlers, and two, it's pitting against other stand-up comedians. Do you think Steve was wrong

for tweeting that? Because it's Steve Harvey. No, because Steve Harvey, as successful as he is, he built his career off of stand-up. So I still believe that he really is passionate about it.

I don't know if he'll ever do it again because it's so hard for him to level, and the way people see him, they see him as a straight family man like PG-13. But Steve Harvey didn't start off like that. So I think he wouldn't be able to have the voice

he wanted and maintain the deals and money that he has. That's real. Alright, we got more with Don L. Rollins when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 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 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?

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.

Hey everybody, it's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with comedian Donnell Rawlins. Charlamagne? Now listen, we had Joe Coy up here, right? And he said

that he moved his baby mama in the house directly across the street from him. Because he wanted to be a great co-parent. You're a great parent. I watch your hashtag all the time. What is it? No, co-parenting with a narcissist. But I never said who the narcissist was.

I never can tell. I don't know what you're talking about. People know. It's two sides. It's her side and my side. Okay, okay. Some people, no, but I'm going to tell you. And I talk about that in my routine.

One of the toughest things to do. Fortunately, you're lucky that you never had to do that but the reason why i say it's tough because you have this kid that you're raising and then you still have an emotional connection to that person which sometimes hinders the relationship you have with your kid oh so you still love her do i still love her yeah no i will always love her because when i look at it she gave me the best thing in my life that's right you know i know what I'm saying? Now, rekindling, getting back together, that's non-existent. So would you do it? That was the question.

Would you buy your ex a house across the street from you? Right next to you. Right by the river. Yeah, I would. But it all depends on... I'm going to tell you somebody that an example of... I think this might be two happy co-parents. Wayne Brady.

Wayne Brady... He's a y'all now. Wayne Brady just came out and said he's pansexual. He's pan. Pansexual. When I hear the word pan,

I feel like that's a person like going to have fun at any party. It's like, ain't no more b**** in there, okay? Ain't no more b**** in there, okay?

We going in. Ain't no more y'alls in there, okay? Okay, it's us. It's us. It's we's, y'alls, in there. Okay. It's us. It's us. It's we's, y'all's, Dem's, Dave's party over here. Any pronoun can get it. Y'all's, y'all's, y'all's, y'all's, y'all's, y'all's, y'all's.

Boom. So you party with him before. No, Wayne Brady's a good guy. That was the best. No, I'm just saying, but. Man, the any pronoun can get it t-shirt is funny as hell. You should sell that to him. Any pronoun can get it. Any pronoun can get it. Isshirt is funny as hell. You should sell that.

Is Wayne Brady going to have to get it with a b****? I used to think that was weird. His ex-wife and his ex-wife, either new husband or boyfriend, they all coexisted together. That's how it should be though, right? Yeah, but that's weird. Because most people, when it's not together, you say, f*** her and f*** him. And you definitely don't want a broad to get happy before you. Man, you stupid.

What? You do a breakup and you find out she got happy before you? You stupid, man. Come on, son. If you get a breakup and your wife is out there living her best life, son. I got to find happiness for you. You want to be happy first. I'm like, did you happen? you wanna be happy first but Wayne Brady was living in the house during COVID

he stayed with them during COVID my point is what type of relationship is this where they all was good that's extreme co-parenting but there are examples of people that make it work but the key to co-parenting or the breakup is when the other person about to cry again man no no this is really

touching you and when they start dating again when they start finding their happiness because they don't have time to with you and when two people break up whatever one person is out there still like you know like trying to find himself and how the person's happy that creates a lot of drama and it makes that person want to go at you harder. It's people out there. It's guys out there. That thing is, I'm going to take her. I'm like, you know what? This is going to be very hard to say, but if you want to take her, take

the whole bitch. Don't just take the bitch. Take all the responsibilities. Take her family. Take the mortgage. Take all that and take her whole punk ass uncle. Don't just take the mortgage take all that and take her whole punk ass uncle

don't just take the that's your family now yeah anybody can take the take the whole chick whole queen take the whole queen Donnell's stupid man

listen Donnell gonna be headlining the 2023 New York Comedy Festival on November 9th to the 11th right at the Hard Rock Hotel Hard Rock Hotel

and then I'm gonna reshoot my special. Why are you reshooting it? Before that, can we give away a pair of tickets? That's what Donnell's here for. He's here to promote that and for us to give away a pair of tickets. We just announced it. Can we give away a pair of tickets? You know what I'm really here for?

I want to say hello to you guys. And it's a good week. And the reason why, because good friend Dave Spillman, I'm not name dropping. Smoothie Dave. It's his birthday. He turns 50. Oh, wow. You know, the 24th. Dave. It's his birthday. He turns 50. For what? You know, the 24th.

Tomorrow. His birthday's tomorrow. Oh, yeah. So I really came up here to say happy birthday to Dave. Okay. Also to say make sure you check out Luenell's new Netflix special. I heard Luenell killed it. Somebody told me.

They told me it's like awesome. I heard it's really good. And the reason why, and I'm going to tell you why. This is why, and I don't have a problem promoting my friends. Shout out to Earthquake. He did his thing. Luenell, Tony Woods is on deck. Dave. And I don't have a problem promoting my friends. Shout out to Earthquake. He did his thing. Luenell. Tony Woods is on deck.

Dave decided he wanted to do a series called The Home Team. And these were comedians that had been doing it for at least 30 years. That had been passed up on. That he felt needed an opportunity. Right. In the case, it was me, Dave. It was me, Tony Woods, Luenell. Earthquake.

And Earthquake. I saw y'all earlier this year. You, Dave, and Chris in North Charleston. You called a body then. Always. You ain't going to do what you did. You ain't going to do that, though. What?

One of them jokes you ain't going to do. Who? No. I guarantee you. No, I don't believe you. I don't believe you. You did that because everybody had their phone locked up. They might cut it.

You did that because everybody had their phone locked up. You ain't going to do that. They might cut it you did that because everybody had their phone no you ain't gonna do that they might cut it who's that day y'all them okay this is us this might cut it but it's gonna go but i think what you sometimes you don't was people trying to tell you something you don't actually see what they're trying to say because it's too hard for you to take the truth it's too hard for you to deal with somebody telling real and i see something you told me you don't, with people trying to tell you something, you don't actually see what they're trying to say because it's too hard for you to take the truth. It's too hard for you to deal with somebody telling you some real s***. And it's something you told me, you don't remember this story

and it's been part of my life for a long time. I tell other people, I did a music video or something and this was me and you coming off of Geico and I was like, I did what everybody do.

Yo, could you post this for me? I hit this s*** twice. Could you post this for me? No post. And I'm like, this is my man. Could you post this for me? No post. S I'm like, this is my man. Could you post this for me? No post.

He finally said, Donnell, build your own arc and they will come. I don't know if you remember you telling me that. You told me that. That's why you mad

about the whole mental therapy, the mental health thing. He ain't post nothing and then they post his mental health. My beef started because he wouldn't post my shit. I used to say that a lot though,

build your own arc. But I'm going to tell you what. What? It made me so mad. I said, oh, I'm going to build my own arc but still'm gonna tell you what what it made me so mad i said oh i'm gonna build my own art but still i feel like you still should have posted it so you've been terrorizing me on social media ever since over the art no one's are you know but let me ask you a question right so i come support you you play with me when i come to your show why you never

play with him when he comes to your shows don't don't play with nobody more than you play with me first of all he don't come to my shows that's a lie why are you lying like that first of all you come to show i just said when it comes to attendance of a comedy show i respect you because i will say you always pull up every time i did caroline's your show was sunday right and the fact you just come with your wife whatever like you and i can't do it with my wife two of your caroline shows when this was years ago this was one time I came in 20. But I wouldn't have f***ed you then. That's different.

What you mean? You was on stage talking about how we going to get fired. From Geico? No, from Breakfast Club. And you made a whole joke talking about one day you walk in the radio station, you be like, Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy, Angel E. And then one day you hear, DJ Envy, Angel E.

Good morning. Hey, friend. Feel free to make yourself at home. Okay. Say less. Kiki. Are you riding? This is The Rumor Report. I'm the devil. On The Breakfast Club. Chi-Town.

On the Breakfast Club. I just love that intro, honey. Okay, I need that. I take it with you. Taylor, say you can have it. Thank you, Taylor. And don't try to cuff me after I take it. Don't try to sue me or nothing.

But, you know, I got to protect the bag. We are a litigious bunch. Yeah, uh-huh. But let's get into the tea we're talking about bags money well according to reports auntie wendy williams is fighting for her life trying to get access to her coins she has reportedly opened a secret bank account in an effort to divert any money that she makes moving forward away from wells fargo where they froze her accounts when her financial advisor told them that she

was of unsound mind. Now that's all according to a source, but the problem with this is Wendy can't figure out how to work the bank account. She opened the bank account. She can't figure out how to use the app. She can't get a deposit. She don't know how to withdraw money.

They're saying that like there was no reason for her to open his account because she don't know how to use it. It's like real bad for her out here in these streets i i'm sad about it um there's also they're also saying a young assistant a young assistant that can do that kind of stuff that's something she'll be able to do it for right yeah that's true but i think the problem is everybody's stealing um her money so that's why she's struggling with this but she's also now trying to sell some of her personal items to her friends and family, but she only wants to accept checks.

Do y'all still write checks? She only wants to accept checks? Yes. Yeah, people still write checks. My financial team still writes checks when it's necessary. So rich, a financial team. Okay.

Well, I got to get one of those. So yeah, Wendy is in a lot of hot water, but we're going to keep her at the top of the fur list. You said you ain't going to lie. I'm just playing. Okay. In other news, Nia Long is filing for full custody of her son with Ime Udoka.

I never say this man's name right, but y'all know him. Yeah, I think you got it pretty close. Yeah, pretty close. Yeah, him. So, she is now looking for full custody because nia long you know she ended her engagement with him after news broke that he allegedly cheated with her a fellow celtic staff member um and according to reports nia is now looking for primary custody of their 11 year old son kez saying that he does not take care of his

son what does full custody mean full custody means the father can't ever see the child? What does that mean? No, I think it's the majority of the time the child is with whatever parent it is. And I think it has something to do with finances as well. It's how they pay the finances as far as child support and all that other stuff. An 11-year-old child more than

likely probably should be with the mother full time. Especially him, you know, because he's coaching the Houston Rockets now. Yeah, Houston Rockets. He's going to start soon. That's like, that's a six month commitment, seven month commitment.

Traveling from city to city, you know, there's no stability for a child, especially with an 11 year old child that's supposed to be in school and stuff like that. I mean, it would make sense for me. I wouldn't want to give it up though.

My daughter. Yeah, most people don't want to give it up for financial reasons. They don't want to give it up. Because just because he's a cheater doesn't mean he's a bad dad that is very true yeah a lot of times we put that in the box though all right let's move on some other news jennifer aniston she is backpedaling and twerking on down the timelines uh in a recent interview with wsj magazine she spoke on her views of cancel culture jennifer anderson said i am so over cancel culture

i probably just got canceled by saying that i don't understand what it means is there no redemption i don't know i don't put everybody in the harvey weinstein basket this is wild considering her take with the whole jamie foxx situation i know you gave her donkey of the day back in so now she's saying she doesn't believe in cancel culture, but she was quick to say, I didn't mean to like that post because she didn't want to get canceled. Here's the thing, man.

I tell people this all the time. This whole system that we're in right now is a circular firing squad. And everybody gets a turn. At some point, it's going to be your turn in the hot seat.

And that's why you got to show everybody grace because it's all cancel this person and cancel that person until it's you. And now you want grace. Now you don't believe in cancel culture no more yes you know what i mean yes even

though she can't be canceled jennifer anthony she's already home i just want people like that to stay off the internet like if you're gonna like a picture and get you get so riled up by the internet that you come with a you know a poster retract that that's most people though that's most people they'll do it until they get attacked and then they'll take it right back everybody's reacting to social media we're literally getting online and letting social media do our thinking for us some people wake up in the morning and don't even have an opinion about something until they see what the popular opinion is on social media that's just social media you know what i mean that's just what people are thinking over there and that's not

even the mass majority of people mass majority of people are just quiet about things. We just hear this loud minority online. And that's what we run with. So this loud minority told her something was wrong. And so she decided to stand with them. And we saw the whole thing with Jamie Foxx. Now, have y'all talked to him or seen him?

Because I know y'all got rich friends and stuff. And he was actually in Chicago healing. He came there for like after his treatment and everything he was in Chicago I couldn't find him nowhere but he was on boats and stuff I was on the search for Jamie Foxx he was healing he was healing I think he hit me in the DM one time with some

prayer hands or something like that yeah TMZ did a story and I was talking about you know Jamie Foxx talking about sometimes it's good to stay off the internet he needs to to heal. Forget what people have to say. If he's not right mentally and physically, what does it matter? So, he just got to get right with himself and it seems like he did. I'm happy for Jamie

Foxx. I'm happy he's out and about and enjoying life again. I'm glad he did. He came back light-skinned too. That was amazing. He did? Y'all didn't see the video? I ain't paying no attention. I didn't see no light-skinned Jamie Foxx. Y'all ain't seen light-skinned Jamie? If they're the light-skinned Jamie Foxx, that's definitely a clone. Yeah, that is it Y'all ain't seen light skin Jamie Foxx If they're the light skin Jamie Foxx that's definitely a clone That's the one

Absolutely 100% a clone of the light skin Jamie Foxx The government ain't gonna do that now That must be the one in Chicago

They might send you back a little slimmer and trimmer but they not gonna change your complexion They change your complexion That's too obvious That's something different That's too obvious okay

There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. Yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.

And so we are in a state of emergency. White supremacist violence always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. To the breakfast club, bitches! Alright, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Well, donkey of the day for Wednesday, August 23rd, goes to Mr. Larry

Elder. And not just Larry Elder, all you fake supporters who let Larry Elder down. See, Larry Elder was a guest here on the Breakfast Club last week, and he's more than welcome to come back. He was here because he's running for president of the United States of America. But also, he was trying to make the GOP debate stage which is tonight in order to make the gop stage you have to meet uh the polling and donor requirements needed for the debate okay eight

candidates have done that larry elder is not one of them when he was here last week i asked him about an op eddie wrote where he discussed uh the rnc debate limits and he said that they are bad for the party and the American people. He feels the RNC has rigged the rules of the game by setting a criteria that is poorly designed and only establishment-backed and billionaire candidates are guaranteed to be on stage. Can we flash back to that conversation from last week? Is the system holding you back? Go ahead.

Would you say it's the system holding you back? I would say it's unfair. It seems to me this early, the voters ought to decide this. I mean, in 2016, there were 17 or 18 Republican candidates. Now there's 13. Somehow, someway, our republic survived, and we could survive with 13 candidates. I don't know why they have all this rule to eliminate certain people at this point. Those systems can hold you back no matter how hard you work, right?

I'm going to say, but rather than whine about it, my goal is to get on as many shows as i can like yours urge people to go to larry elder.com give at least one dollar even if you want somebody else those systems can hurt you no matter how hard you work right larry but larry said instead of whining about it he's gonna come on more shows like breakfast club and you know just encourage people to work towards getting him on that stage well larry elder must have changed his mind because he is now planning to sue the RNC after failing to make the first primary debate. He posted on Twitter yesterday, I said from the beginning that it appeared the rules of the game were rigged.

Little did we know just how rigged it is. For some reason, the establishment leaders at the RNC are afraid of having my voice on the debate stages. I told him last week, sometimes, Larry, no matter how hard you work, there are systems in place that are just rigged against you. Okay. Trust me, as black Americans, we know this. You know this too. Okay. My question is when black people bring up systemic racism, institutionalized racism, whether you want to, you know, whatever you want to call it, whether it's in the criminal justice system or education or healthcare, home ownership, food insecurity, whatever it is is we are told by the

larry elders of the world not to whine about it which is something we discussed a lot last week and why we kept bringing it back to systems because when things are systemically done to a people to put people in a certain condition it's going to then it's going to take some something systemic to change it which is why larry elder is saying he's going to sue the rnc now on fox news on august 18th lar Larry Elder said he was still 2,000 unique donors shy of the debate's 40,000 minimum to qualify. A threshold, he says, as of August 21st, he met. Larry Elder has also reportedly not met the RNC's polling requirement of at least 1% in three qualifying state and national polls. And that's all according to his Fox News interview on August 18th.

But according to him, he has on august 18th but according to him he has two he did say he said he had two on fox news well politico says otherwise okay politico said he didn't meet the donor or polling requirements and larry said the committee only informed him after sending in his qualification package for the debate that polls from a specific polling company he used weren't valid hey man i don't know what's what i'm just giving you what's out there and letting you know larry elder didn't make the debate stage and now he's suing the RNC. Personally, I think he should just work harder. Okay, we have some audio of Larry Elder. TMZ caught him at the airport yesterday, right? Let's hear it.

As you can see, I'm at PlayX in Rutan, Milwaukee. I was just informed by the RNC that I'm not qualified for the debate. Why? Even though I exceeded the 40,000 individual donations required, even though I signed the pledge to support the eventual nominee, even though I submitted three polls where I was at least at 1%, I was informed that one of the polls is not eligible. It's the Rasmussen poll,

even though it was the most accurate poll in predicting that Donald Trump would win in 2016. They say it is affiliated with Donald Trump and therefore it is not eligible. So we're filing an emergency injunction to get me out there. This is absolutely BS. One of the candidates, by the way, offered a $20 gift certificate for a $1 donation. That apparently is okay. Another one offered a free, air quotes, western uh concert for a one dollar donation

it is designed and i opinion to make sure that that ron de sanders is a nominee anybody other than trump this is bs i will see you in milwaukee out oh larry elder taking down the whole cmb listen man the next gop debate is september 27th at a library named after larry elder's favorite president ronald reagan it's the ron Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, and it's in California, Larry Elder's home state. I don't think Larry Elder should sue because I don't believe it's the system holding him back. I believe he just has to work harder. Okay, you and your social media team and everyone who enjoyed you destroying the Breakfast Club last week just simply have to work harder.

Boots to ground. And when those boots hit the ground, grab those boot scraps and pull yourself up okay you can't whine and complain about a system being rigged if you don't want black americans whining and complaining about systemic racism okay then you you have to continue to lead by example larry okay and you can't complain about the rnc system either now you're not making this an issue of race because you don't believe in systemic racism and i don't believe this is an issue of race it's an issue of corruption because that's what politics are there's corruption on both sides democrat and republican but like i said to you when you were here one party seems to still care about democracy the other is leaning towards fascism and by your own admission it's a

rigged system that's what happens in a fascist society okay ben johnson also says he wants to sue the rnc he said in the statement that the the RNC knew who they wanted on the stage from the beginning and who they wanted to ban from the stage. And this is a flawed decision of a poorly run process of a corrupt organization. He also said that the what is it, the Rasmussen poll, that that poll has ties to former President Donald Trump, an individual who is not even participating in the upcoming debate. Larry Elder says he has no knowledge. You just heard him. He said he has no knowledge about whether or not Trump has ever worked with this poll. Yeah, Larry, you don't have knowledge on that. But no matter how much you deflect, you know what fascism is.

You know what it looks like. And you know it's the rejection of democracy, the rule of law, and equal rights under the law in favor of a strong man. A strong leader, Donald Trump, who can maintain social order through the use of force. That is Trump. So, of course, rnc knew who they wanted on stage i don't know if trump is connected to this poll or not but wouldn't surprise me because in a party infected with fascism the fight is always going to be fixed just like in america for certain communities the fight is always going to be fixed and that's not being a victim that's just telling the truth and if it's not telling the truth then larry right now you are being a victim okay but i don't want you to be a victim

i don't know what the qualifications for the second debate are but i do know that if you want to beat this system larry you got to work those bootstraps ain't gonna pull themselves up okay get your people active because y'all can post that clip of larry elder having an opinion about joe biden's you ain't black comments 40 000000 times. But what Larry needed was 40,000 people to donate a dollar. There's over 45,000 comments on Breakfast Club's YouTube page underneath the Larry Elder interview. He easily has more than 1% support on those comments. But what Larry needed was to be polling at 1% and three qualifying state and national polls in order to make that debate stage tonight. Larry, your people got to get the boot scrap pulling okay all that whining and complaining about myself and teslin and envy the

democrats that means nothing if you don't show up when it counts redirect that energy so larry can make the gop debate stage because to quote larry i have very little patience for the message of victimhood you are currently peddling please let remiemy Ma give Larry Elder the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw. Hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. I'm genuinely disappointed that you can't destroy

the Breakfast Club and not make the debate stage. Okay? They said Bavique destroyed the Breakfast Club. That's correct. He made the debate stage. He did.

Drop on the clues bomb for Bavique. Okay? I'm happy. All right? Larry do. Come on now. You know? Make the most of your opportunity

stop doing that okay that's my middle name that's my daddy's name you cut that out all right stop that that's very triggering all right it's the finger point for me my inner child still has triggers because it's stuff like that really you cut it out okay okay all right well thank you larry all right well thank you for that donkey of the day bet we'll see y'all tomorrow bet now when we come back let's talk zodiac signs this is something that we seem big on social media i'm not into zodiac signs i don't follow it but young miami talks about her favorite zodiac sign go zodiac sign today Sagittarius wait

Woke, zodiac sign. I'm going to say a Virgo. They so mean and bitchy. Talk about your mama. I can't even. My mama and my daddy, they both Virgos.

I'm going to say an Aquarius. You know I hate Aquarius. I never met an Aquarius, like, for real, for real. Any Aquarius I meet, I'd be like, hey, babes, you got to go. I want to get to deal with one Aquarius. I never met an Aquarius, like, for real, for real. Any Aquarius I meet, I be like, hey, babes, you got to go. I want to get to deal with one Aquarius. That's not true. All right, well, I just want to let you know that Virgo season starts today. So shout to all the Virgos out there.

I'm a person who's always been into astrology. You know what I'm saying? Because for as long as I can remember, I've always been into reading the newspaper. And, you know, the astrology section was always in the newspaper. It was always close to the comic section, so would read it i would read about you know being a cancer uh i absolutely believe in you know uh astrological signs compatibility and i think you should go look it up you know i mean you're a virgo what is your wife envy uh she's an aquarius okay let's look at february 1st let's look up virgo let me see virgo aquarius how you spell

aquarius oh god i thought it was a quimini aquarius how can i spell a quimini but not aquarius ain't that crazy i'm so hip-hop uh aquarius and virgo zodiac compatibility of virgo and aquarius love match their personalities can either crash or thrive uh due to the differences in perspectives that they hold in their lives. A Virgo and Aquarius couple can bring out the best versions of each other just as easily as they can bring out the worst. The elements associated with Virgo and Aquarius are earth and air, respectively, which is somewhat conflicting in nature. Virgo has a rigid and pragmatic approach to life, which is accentuated by the attention to detail, perfectionism, and discipline to find a Virgo individual. On the other hand, Aquarius is a free-spirited, fun-loving sign who is just as driven towards success as Virgo.

But both of them have completely different approaches in finding it. I am a Cancer. My wife is a Sag. You're a Sag. Yes, I am. Kiki, you need to find you a Cancer because Sagittarius Cancer compatibility. Both signs are recognized for their sense of curiosity and for being straightforward and fair.

Their shared affection will provide lots of fuel for conversation and deep comprehension of each other's reasons. Wow. But how does your wife deal with the sensitivity of a cancer? Because y'all are very sensitive and emotional and Sagittarius, we are very blunt. Yeah.

My wife been with me for 25 years. So, you know, the bluntness is, sit your stupid ass down. we are very blunt yeah my wife been with me for 25 years so what's you know the bluntness is sit your stupid ass down you know shut your stupid ass up are

totally ignoring most of the time it's just totally ignoring cause she know yes I'ma eventually get over it so question what's the compatibility

I'm not looking that up. You know what? I'm going to do that for you. What's the compatibility? Cancer and Virgo gay compatibility.

Go. I want to hear this. That's what I'm looking at. That's what I'm actually Googling. I knew y'all was lovers. I knew it. I knew it. They have a thing called Queer Love Match Guide.

Queer Love Match Guide by Zodiac Signs. It says, Virgo vibes the best with cancer when it comes to long-lasting love. Both need to accept each other for who they are without judgments for it to work, which shouldn't be a problem for them. Who's the top? Who's the bottom in that? Hey, don't say all that now.

But if you cross us, it's a whole different ballgame. Okay, I agree with you. A sign I'll stay away from is a cancer.

When your wife asks you, what are you talking about? And you really don't even know. You just feel it. I just feel like I ain't getting the love back. That's a cancer. You want the love back? No, I get plenty of love.

I do. I get a lot of love. I probably get more love than I deserve to get. But I give you the love back. I felt like that the other day. You want a hug right now? No, I don't.

You know we have the best long-term love match too, by the way. I looked it up on Queer Love Match Guide by Zodiac. I did. I'm serious.

That's so sweet Thank you Nicki Alright two things One was it really Nicki. Alright, two things. One, was it really Nicki Minaj? And two, what prompted that? Well, she was on live streaming and probably, you know, they stream to get money. And Tokyo is always vocal about needing money, trying

to pay her bills. She drives around in random cars. It's always chaotic. But hopefully it really was Nicki Minaj because if you're just out here giving Tokyo $2,500 and you're regular like me, that's not smart. But it got really was Nicki Minaj, because if you just out here giving Tokyo Tony five hundred dollars and you regular like me, that's not smart. But it got really weird. We got really weird because not long ago, Tokyo Tony had some other thoughts about Miss Nicki Minaj. Let's hear that.

The Fyre Fest is back. Y'all going? I didn't go to the first one. I'm glad you didn't because you might not have made it. But Billy McFarland took to Instagram to announce Fyre Festival 2. This is clearly a scam. But anyway, before we listen to the audio for this announcement, let me remind you of who Billy really is.

He was the promoter for the Fire Festival who pleaded guilty to fraud and was sentenced in October 2018 to six years in federal prison as a result of his original botched Fire Festival. Now, this is that festival when he tried to take Ja Rule down with him, okay? And I don't play about Ja Rule. But anyway, he was playing. Okay, now we talking. Yes! I want to see the box for Ja Rule. I love Rule. down with him okay and i don't play about ja rule but anyway um he was okay now we talking yes

i love rule and people act like ja rule is a chump out here ja rule a whole legend period yes he is and he's still fine but anyway um let's get into this announcement from mr billy mcfarland what's up guys this is a big day because as of right now fire festival two tickets are officially on sale it has been the absolute wildest journey to get here and it really all started during the seventh month's stint in solitary confinement. I wrote out this 50-page plan of how it would take this overall interest

and demand in Fyre and how it would take my ability to bring people from around the world together to make the impossible happen, but how it would find the best partners in the world to allow me to be me while executing fires vision to the highest level and finally today we were announcing fire festival 2 we spoke to people as far away as the Middle East and South America and ultimately we decided that fire festival 2 is coming back to the Caribbean we were targeting

fire festival 2 for the end of next year in the meantime we'll be doing pop-ups and events across the world. Yeah, man. Fart all over Billy and Paula's announcement, man. You wanna go? No. What about if Andy's gonna be there again? No. Oh, yeah. What you gonna do for that water? I ain't gonna do it. Damn it. I just think sometimes you have to let

things go. Yeah. Like the worst promo for Fire Festival 2 was Fire Festival 1. Correct. Alright? At least name it another element. Air, water, earth festival, something. That fire is extinguished. No.

There's no real date. There's no real location. And this man has a bird. That was the first time. There was no real location. There's no real date. We still outside, though, with it.

He is charging people up to $500 for pre-sale tickets. This is crazy. Jesus. You got to be real dumb, but okay. You could build a whole festival

around Andy, though. What? Yeah, they call it the Firehead Festival. Oh. All right, and that is your rumor report. Watch our reception.

We come back, we got the People's Choice mix. 800. You guys are crazy. 800-585-1051 for your request. What's wrong with y'all? Grow up.

And my daughter, London, wanted to remind you guys that she's going to be selling bracelets there. You know, I brought bracelets up here for Charlamagne that my nine-year-old at the time was making. And Charlamagne bought none. Charlamagne.

He said because there's no cause connected to it. Oh, you that coworker that don't buy the Girl Scout cookies, don't support the kids. No, I buy that because that stuff be having a cause connected to it. You know what I'm saying? This didn't have no cause connected to it. He wanted a cause to it. Envy just came in here selling bracelets, talking about his daughter selling bracelets. I don't believe that.

He wanted a cause. When I think about it, though, Envy, if you tried to sell me something, I probably wouldn't buy it either. Because you know what? You too rich already. It's not me. It's my bracelet. It's creating entrepreneurship for a nine-year-old. Well, you should have brought her up here and let her bring it around.

That's what I said. Because you are not the right salesman. Matter of fact, give me the bracelets. Auntie Kiki is selling for. That's right. I look poor, so they'll definitely buy them for my cause. Oh, my goodness. Attach your cause to it.

If you attach a cause to it, it'll be all right. Attach your cause. Now you want me to lie to salesmen. Yes, feed the big girls. That's our cause. All right. When we come back, we got the positive notice to Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Kiki, we appreciate you for joining us. You coming back tomorrow? I mean, that's what they said. I hope they let me in again. I really like it here.

You like it here? Okay, it's real fancy. It smell good. Y'all done let the foes in the door. Yes, we here. Okay. All right. Well, you got a positive note, Charlamagne?

Yes. Kiki crazy. Listen, evil never wins. Always remember that. Evil never wins. And that's why the blessed don't beef with the miserable. Breakfast club, bitches! You all finished or you all done? Had enough of this country?

for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. 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 called a moment. 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.
