Y'all one of the biggest things in American culture.
They not like us.
Think everybody should go on the breakfast club.
You wanna shake it up.
They not like us.

Sometimes you gotta pop out the show, son.
Now let's begin.
Good morning. Charlemagne the God. Peace to the planet. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is.
Pump day.
Good morning.
What's happening?
How y'all feel out there?
It's Wednesday, middle of the week.
What's up, Jess?
How you feeling?
I feel good.
Good?
Yes, I had enough for us last night.
Good, good, good, good.
Yes.
I have all this smoke, Jess, that people have been giving to me because they know, you know,
every time you come up here, you ask for smoke.
Absolutely. So they give me smoke for you. you know, every time you come up here, you ask for smoke. Absolutely.
So they give me smoke for you.
That's amazing.
But you can't have it.
So I just have just a bunch of smoke just sitting there waiting for you.
Well, good thing smoke don't expire.
Okay.
All right.
That also means those people don't pay attention.
Hmm?
They don't pay attention.
They don't pay attention.
Because they should know Jess Elias is pregnant.
Well, they've been sending it every month regardless because they know Jess is here.
So I guess it's just.
But they should know she's pregnant.
Every month she gets one month more pregnant
but I think it's like
what are we talking about
you know one of those
places that they just
put you on a list
and they just send it
to you regardless
it just comes to the
house regardless
yes I'll have a
dispensary waiting for me
yes yes you'll be good
yes you'll be good
well this morning
we have some special
guests joining us
Angela Rye and
Marilyn Mosby
will be joining us
man such an interesting
situation
Marilyn Mosby
is the former
Attorney General of Baltimore.
She was found convicted
of mortgage fraud
and she's facing up to 40 years
in federal prison
when sentenced on May 23rd.
So, you know,
she has a hell of a story.
She was a state attorney, I think, from 2015 to 2023.
When we posted it yesterday, one of my closest friends hit me and was like, I went to school with her.
And I was like, I thought she was from Baltimore.
You were from Boston.
She was like, no, she's actually from Boston.
Her parents are both police officers, she believes, and that her grandfather, a great-grandfather,
was one of the first black police officers, state troopers, in Massachusetts.
So she's very connected to, I guess, law enforcement in Boston.
And they said that as a child, she always did the right thing.
She always pushed for our people.
She was doing the same thing in Baltimore.
And a lot of people will say that's why she was targeted the way that she was targeted,
you know, because they found her.
They convicted her of mortgage fraud.
They said she lied to a mortgage lender in 2021 and she purchased a vacation
property in Florida.
But it's not quite what it seems.
No. Not at all. Not quite what
it seems at all. Yeah, so we're going to be kicking it with her
in a little bit.
Did you watch the games last night or no?
I watched the first game. I don't know who those
people think is staying up to watch those West Coast
games. They must not care about East Coast viewership
at all. They must not think that people got viewership at all. They must not think that people
got to go to school. They must not think
people got to go to work.
They must only care about the West Coast
when they airing those games, which is
probably the case. Well, they have most West Coast
teams, but you think about it, that starts at 7 o'clock
their time. So you think about, duh.
But listen, but the 7 o'clock
games start so early
their time. You're talking about 4 or 5 o'clock games.
They're people still working at 4 or 5 o'clock.
Did you hear what I said?
I said they must not care about the East Coast.
I'm just telling you that they have to.
That's the reason why, because they have to.
They play two games.
NB, are you listening to what I'm saying?
I'm listening.
Are you listening?
You're not listening to what I'm saying.
I'm listening to what you're saying.
You can't be listening to what I'm saying.
I'm listening.
I'm listening.
You're not listening to what I'm saying.
You're about to be Grandpa for sure.
You're not listening to what I'm saying.
They must clearly not care about us East Coast people.
Okay.
That's what I'm saying.
Okay.
You're not going to get in an argument with your wife.
You're just going to be like, okay.
Okay.
It's just the truth.
Because they could easily just bump up all the games.
You see, East Coast could play at 6.
Right?
East Coast could play at 6 and the West Coast games could start like 8, 8.30.
So that'd be 5.30 their time
Yeah
That's all I'm saying
You ever say that to your man
It's like okay
Just wanted to stop
Just keep going
Just a little common sense
You wanna get something to eat
You wanna go get something
To eat later babe
Just a little common sense
Okay
Alright then you just
Always in with food
Cause everybody like food
Just a little common sense
You hungry
You hungry
Alright well let's get
The show cracking
We got front page news
We'll tell you about
These burglars
That stole from Onyx Strip Club in Atlanta.
How you gonna do that to the strip club?
We'll talk about it when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Oh, and we gotta discuss Trump.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy.
Jess Larris.
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Last night, NBA, the Thunder beat the Mavericks 117-95.
And the Celtics beat the Cavaliers 120-95.
Now, Rudy Gobert, he won the fourth defensive player a year.
This is the fourth time him winning that.
People were mad at him, though, because he actually missed game two
because of the birth of his child.
I didn't see nobody mad.
I saw Gilbert Arenas mad at him.
There was a couple people upset that he missed that game.
Those people are ridiculous.
And not only are those people ridiculous, they got to be kind of like idiots.
I don't even think Gilbert Arenas was being serious.
This is the birth of your first child.
Of course I'm going to miss the playoff game.
I don't give a damn about no playoff game.
We'll be back.
We'll be all right.
And they won that game, so they were fine.
How are you going to be mad at a man because he chose to go see the birth of his first child as opposed to playing a game?
I don't care if it's a playoff game or not.
Yeah.
It's not like it's game seven.
You know what I mean?
I think that was so stupid.
It was stupid.
It'll be there when you get back.
The baby?
The baby?
A lot of people are saying that.
The baby will be there when you get back.
Like, what?
You only get one time to see your first child be born.
He's a first-time father.
Like, cut it out. I've been there for every last time my kids were born. He's a first-time father. Cut it out.
I've been there for every last time my kids were born.
And that's six of them.
I don't care what's going on, where I'm at in this world.
If wife's in labor or she's close to it, my ass is staying home.
That's right.
Now, Nick, I don't know.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm talking about Nick Cannon.
You don't know if he was there for...
There's so many of them.
One time he can't even be in more than one place.
And by the way, those kids are going to be with you long after basketball is over.
Absolutely.
Alright, now let's talk about Onyx Strip Club
in Atlanta. We all know Onyx, right?
If you don't, it's probably one of the biggest gentleman
clubs in Atlanta.
Well, it seems like yesterday it got robbed.
It's one of Atlanta's most
popular strip clubs. Onyx Gentleman's
Club on Cheshire Bridge Road where many
celebrities are known to party. But this iconic night spot became a crime scene early Monday morning
after police say two thieves cut a hole in the roof and slipped in and out with $250,000 in cash.
On Tuesday, we flew News Drone 2 over the building where we could see that repairs are underway.
They're probably experienced, probably put together some type of plan.
Right now,
police are calling this an ongoing investigation, but we know Onyx is closed on Sundays. So investigators believe the two thieves who were dressed in white ski masks and gloves cut a hole
in the roof, then climbed into the business where they spent two hours using power tools to break
open the safes. Employees who asked us not to identify them because they're not authorized to
speak with the media told us off camera that multiple surveillance cameras recorded the heist.
There's also video of the thieves as they ran away from the scene.
That's what you call a heist.
Jesus.
That's an Alvin Gray Tubi movie.
The brothers who robbed the script club.
How are you in the script club for two hours, though,
with power tools and their surveillance cameras?
Nobody is doing any surveillance?
Nobody was looking.
I'm surprised there's no alarm system
because usually they got
some type of alarm system.
Like no motion detectors,
no nothing.
So for two hours
they were in there just working
and nobody paid any attention.
Nobody noticed nothing.
That's a ghetto.
Damn.
And $250,000.
I wonder how much was singles
because that's a lot of money
because strip clubs
have a lot of singles as well.
Just sitting there.
Yeah, that's an inside job.
Jesus.
That's a complete inside job. Now you know, strip clubs have a lot of singles as well. Just sitting there. Yeah, that's an inside job. Jesus. That's a complete inside job.
Now we got to talk about President Donald Trump.
It looks like the trial for his classified documents, it looks like they're going to push that trial back.
Judge Cannon making it clear that the trial over classified documents is delayed indefinitely in Florida.
This federal indictment leads to the question of whether
this trial would begin before the November election. And I think they would be safe to say
that this order here from Judge Cannon in Florida answers that question. And so we could very well
be looking at a reality that the only criminal trial, only one of four that Donald Trump is
facing here that will take place before the November election will be this one here that is now in its fourth week in New York over the alleged hush money payment scheme.
So none of it matter because if you become president, you think you think they're going to prosecute a sitting president?
You think a sitting president is going to be coming back and forth for trials anywhere in America?
No, it's not happening.
Alright, well that is front page news.
When we come back next hour, we'll tell you about
Stormy Daniels. She took the stand
yesterday and talks about how she
met Trump. She talks about allegedly
spanking him and also how
he went to dinner in his PJs, his pajamas.
He's ready for action.
Okay, spank. Alright, we'll get to that
next hour and that is Front Page News

And I knew it was there. And now it's not.
But I buy things for everybody else to utilize.
And y'all still touching my stuff.
Who ate it? And what was it?
It was a drink.
Damn.

Don't drink it.
Because she's still
going to drink it probably.
But when we go to
the store,
I buy things for me
and then I buy
things for the house.
But for some reason
my things still disappear.
I don't understand. Really, then I buy things for the house. But for some reason, my things still disappear. I don't understand.
It's really, really, really, really frustrating.
And she hit me because she's getting ready for school,
and she's still going to do it.
That's just the sad part.
That's the sad part.
You know what's crazy?
Mama is really the most disrespected person in the house,
and that's only because everybody really, truly lives off Mama.
Like, the kids came.
Everything that belongs to Mama belongs to them. Yeah, the kids came, everything that belongs to mama
belongs to them.
Yeah, because my kids
will eat off mama plate,
but they won't even come

Girl, bye.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning to my breakfast club family.
It's your boy, Lovey, from the Bronx, a.k.a. Mr. 13 1⁄2.
What's good, E?
Lovey, you still introducing yourself as Mr. 13 1⁄2?
13 1⁄2 what?
That's your shoe size?
Good morning, Jess.
How you doing, beautiful?
Good morning.
I'm good.
What's up, lovey?
Talk to us.
Oh, Jess don't know about you, lovey.
No, I don't know.
Oh, Jess don't know?
No.
Well, Jess, I don't want to interrupt your pregnancy, but 13 and a half, we'll talk about
it off the air.
But anyway.
Okay.
Respect.
I don't want you to go into labor at night and early, so, you know.
All right, lovey.
All right, lovey, all right.
But no, I want to tell you how you guys inspired me.
You and Envy, you know I look up to y'all, you know, coming, doing radio.
So I'm writing my first book.
And I want to ask you, with Charlamagne, when you wrote Shook One,
and when Envy, when you and your wife wrote your book,
how did you, did you leave out any details,
or you just ran through your rough draft and you went back and critiqued it?
How did you do that?
That's really, really my big question.
I didn't, I didn't leave out any, any, any details.
I mean, but you know, you, you, you, you write a book when you, when you write a book, you
go back and forth with that book several, several times before you actually turn in
a, you know, your, your, your final, your final draft.
And I mean, yeah, there's certain things that, you know your your final draft and i mean yeah there's certain
things that you know your editor maybe your publisher will recommend like oh maybe you
should take this out especially for for legal reasons especially you know uh stories that
involve other people and using other people's real names things like that but other than that
nah i ain't leaving nothing up yeah i was the same there was some things that legally we had
to change whether it was names or we couldn't say certain things because illegally you didn't want to get in trouble.
But besides that, we pretty much kept everything in.
I think that's the thing with writing a book, right?
You want everything to be authentic.
You want everything to be real.
It's your life, right?
So I kind of brought everything in that we could.
So like I said, I'm inspired by y'all.
And also the last part of this is I got approved to be a foster parent.
And being a single father, I think that's my way of paying forward.
Would you think you would do that, Envy?
Would you do that, Charlamagne?
Or Jax, would you be a foster parent knowing that we see the problem out here?
With these children running wild because they have no direction.
But we don't want to do anything about it.
So, I don't know.
God put it in my want to do anything about it so i don't know god put it in my heart listen anybody you hear people having these conversations about you know how uh you know
black fathers aren't in the households or you know um people are growing up without fathers
but these brothers that be having these conversations they don't have no mentorship
programs right or nor have they ever had any kids of their own or have they ever tried to adopt so
i respect what you're doing, Lovey.
Salute to you.
That thing is a great thing, Lovey.
Yo, I love you, brothers, man.
Jess, we'll talk about it later, Jess.
Don't worry.
Okay, all right, Lovey.
Thank you.
And Lovey, I love you.
I love y'all.
Have a blessed day.
Love you.
And just don't start off with your application
that you missed the 13 and a half.
That might not get you passed.
Don't say that on the application.
Got you, K.
All right, Lovey.
If you were to say that on the application trying to adopt a child, they'd probably arrest him.
But that's what I said.
Don't say that.
You always start off on Mr. 13 and a half.
The fact that you would even think that, we need to arrest you.
Or at least investigate you.
Oh, my gosh.
How would you even think that?
Gosh.
I just thought it was about the shoe size.
That's what it was.
Yeah.
Yeah, thank you.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
Jess with the Mess coming up.
What are we talking about?
Yes, there was a shooting outside of Drake's Toronto Mansion.
Oh, my God, no.
Yes, that's what I said when I saw it.
I was like, uh-uh.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarion, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to Jess with The Mess.
The news is real. We're in the headlines. Let's get to Jess with the mess. Your news is real.
Whether it's Jess Hilarion, Jess Carabin Moore, Jess don't do no lying.
Don't do no lying.
She don't spare nobody.
Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess.
On The Breakfast Club.
She's a culture shift.
She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody
could get you to see it's time to set it off there was a shooting outside of drake's home in
toronto earlier yesterday morning around 2 a.m and it was reportedly a drive-by shooting
police did confirm that they did catch the shooting on camera it was confirmed that drake
was not harmed or injured in the shooting and it was never even revealed whether he was there or not.
One of Drake's security guards who was standing outside of the front gate
was shot in the chest, and he is now in critical condition.
Now, while news outlets were reporting on the shooting,
a news anchor on Eyewitness News ABC7 said this.
Lots of questions tonight about a security guard who was shot
outside the mansion of the raper, rapper should say Drake in Toronto Drake's 50,000 square foot 100
million dollar Toronto mansion swarming with police Tuesday morning police say a
car with multiple people driving past the front gates overnight around 2 a.m.
opening fire on a security guard who had been posted out front on duty
investigators not saying if the hip- hop icon was home at the time,
but say they do have some surveillance video of the incident.
It is hard to ignore.
The shooting is on the heels of a very ugly public rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
I think it's strange that people are trying to connect this to Kendrick and Drake
because we keep talking about the false
narratives the media creates but right now i see people creating this false narrative themselves
because this situation happened in a whole other country why y'all even incriminating
kendrick and drake in this we don't know the details of anything why jump to conclusions
and speculate and say this had to had something to do with them why they also said the fact that
drake's ovio store in london was vandalized with they not like us all
over the store that's just overzealous that's different that's different that's that's that's
fans trying to be funny stands actually yeah that stands trying to be funny it's some of the OGs in
the game that's not feeling the beef of the direction whether they uh believe that the
shooting is in connection or not to the beef Questlove shared that nobody won the war this
was not about skill this was a wrestling match level miss mudslinging and takedown by any means necessary talking about women and children
and um hip-hop is truly dead um you don't want to see r.i.p posts why are you painting that
narrative quest listen do i think that both kendrick and drake went to hell on each other
yes but jay-z and naz were doing the same type of mudslinging.
There was women and children being talked about in that situation, too.
Yeah, it was definitely mudslinging.
Like you said, it was a battle.
And I think it went too far.
I think, like you said, I think it went to hell.
I don't think it need to go there.
I didn't like it.
I liked the fact that they went back and forth and they responded to each other. It made hip-hop fun again to me.
But I didn't like when they started talking about the kids, the pedophile, the rapist, and all that.
That was a little too far.
And of course, he was playing drums when Jay-Z was mudslinging.
Okay?
Oh, my God.
We didn't know if he remembers, all right?
I'm just saying.
So he was the first Metro?
Yeah, in a way.
He didn't make the beat, but yeah.
He didn't make the beat, but when Jay-Z was doing the unplug
and performing takeover, he was right there.
I'm just saying.
Corrupt also did an interview with Bootleg Kev, and he said this.
If y'all ain't ready to fight, stop it.
Just battle.
You know, like the other battlers, Murder Mook and all that.
This ain't funny to me, my n***a.
When I went to war, my n***a wanted to fight.
It was real.
When Tupac and Biggie was into it, it was real.
This ain't real, cuz. Now, mother cuz now mother drake bodyguard gets shot no it's connected to the battle delmar don't do that
life is precious my for sure so if y'all ain't gonna fight stop it other than that cuz that
uh record right there was banging it really was there you know a minor but now let me ask you a question
when those battle rappers do it they go just as low like they go crazy like the battle rappers
sometimes i'm like i'm surprised they didn't fight but then after battle it's over yeah they can
battle again but it's over can can this happen it's different though it's like watching a violence in
a in a octagon as opposed to watching that kind of fight just out in a bar.
You know what I'm saying?
It's well-organized, sanctioned violence when it's in the octagon or when it's at a battle rap.
My whole thing is if you're going to speculate, it's much better scenarios you could use.
How about a security guard got shot outside the Weeknd's manager's house a couple weeks ago?
Weeknd and Drake got issues.
How come you don't connect those dots? Because the Weeknd don't rap. you know, guard got shot outside the weekend's manager's house a couple weeks ago. Weekend and Drake got issues. You know,
how come you don't connect
those dots?
Because the weekend don't wrap.
Huh?
If the weekend wrapped,
y'all would connect the dots
on, you know,
what if that security
got shot outside
the weekend's manager's house
and this security got shot
in retaliation?
But because the weekend
don't wrap,
y'all don't connect those dots.
And you're looking at him.
That's all I'm simply saying.
Because he be singing.
R.
What if,
what if,
what if, what if, what if if that security guard was the mole that was feeding
oh stop it don't start that
I heard on the breakfast club
they said that was the mole
that security guard was the mole that was feeding
Kendrick all the information
and the owls had to do what they had to do
now this is a good fellas
conversation I'm just saying there's other scenarios you could speculate on all the information. And the Owls had to do what they had to do. Now this is a Goodfellas conversation.
It's a Goodfellas episode.
I'm just saying,
there's other scenarios
you could speculate on.
He was the mold
and all of a sudden...
I just feel like saying
this is between Kendrick
and Drake is a little lazy.
Okay?
Now he's the mold.
He didn't get shot in the front,
he got shot in the back.
Like, come on!
Y'all can dive a little deeper
down the rabbit hole
if you want to.
That's all I'm simply saying.
Oh my goodness.
Joe Clare and Russell Simmons went live. Well, they didn't go live together, but Russell Simmons, he spoke on the beat between Kendrick and Drake in the rabbit hole if you want to that's all i'm simply saying joe claire and russell simmons went
live um he well they didn't go live together but russell simmons he spoke on the beef between
kendrick and drake and um also spoke on people celebrating the downfall of these black men
including diddy and this is what he had to say to people watching our brothers fall is hurtful
having everybody get together and laugh at our brothers fall or supporting the tearing down of our brothers
it's tough they may think it's
entertaining some of the memes are funny
but we have to look up
train our minds to see the good in things
and not the negative
Russell's conflating a lot of different
things because
yes there are people who just simply celebrate
folks downfall but I mean
if you believe these things that have been said about a ditty, then it's not necessarily people celebrating somebody's downfall.
They're celebrating the fact that somebody is finally being held accountable for their action.
That's what that is.
And I'm with you.
If he's found guilty, if those women and those people should get justice.
And in fact, if that means he has a downfall, he has a downfall.
Those people need to get the justice.
Russell's conflating
two different things.
I know Diddy.
A lot of different things.
His pisslessness
to these records.
Like, I'm fighting these allegations
and y'all just throwing them
at each other back and forth.
Or you're a woman beater.
Or you're a pedophile.
Or you're a pedophile.
LeBron and Steph Curry
need to stay away from you.
Hide the families.
What?
I know Diddy is like... He's like, it's just content for y'all but it stay away from you. Hide the families. What? I know what that is like.
He's like,
it's just content for y'all
but it was charges for me.
Cost me money.
My house got raided.
Can't even go outside.
Damn it, man.
All right.
Well, that is just with the mess.
Yes.
Now when we come back,
we got front page news.
We got to talk Stormy Daniels.
She was on the stand
yesterday in the Trump trial
and she talked about
how they met
and even spanking
the former president.
We'll get to it next at The Breakfast Club. Come on in.
You're checking out The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ
Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne
the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some
front page news.
Yesterday in sports, the Thunder beat the
Mavericks 117-95, and the Celtics
beat the Cavaliers 120-95.
Come on, Cavs. And I stand on the fact that I want the West Coast games to be earlier.
Okay?
Let's bump up all the games.
Let's start the East Coast games at 6.
Okay?
So then the West Coast games will start around 8-39.
And then, you know, we can watch some of it and all be in bed at a reasonable time.
The West Coast is not going to want to watch the games at 3 o'clock.
Because that's why I don't watch them.
Because they're so late.
Oh, yeah?
Could you stop lying? You've been volunteering live for no reason. is not going to want to watch the games at 3 o'clock. That's why I don't watch them. Because they're so late. Oh, yeah?
Could you stop lying?
You've been volunteering lies for no reason.
Like, there was no reason for that.
Now, the NBA fined Jamal Murray $100,000 for tossing a heat pack onto the court.
He was so upset with the calls, with the reps, that first he threw a towel.
The towel didn't make it to the court.
And then he threw one of those heat packs. He was fined $100,000 for throwing that heat pack.
Damn. Well, at least they didn't suspend him.
They should have suspended him. No, they shouldn't have.
$100,000. He threw that heat pack on the court
while they were playing in the middle of a game. Somebody could have
slipped on that. Somebody could have fell on that. It wasn't like it was
a timeout. True. That was foul.
But the Timberwolves are up 2-0. If Nuggets
would have won, and it was 1-1, he probably would have
got suspended for Game 3. They can't
risk them going down 3-0.
You can't do that. Not with your
defending NBA champions. You can't
risk them going down 3-0. Might as well just throw that
Ant-Man. Then why you throw the floor? Just hit the Ant-Man in the head
with it. I'm just saying. Alright, now we
got to talk about Stormy Daniels.
She testified in the hush money proceedings
with Donald Trump and she had a lot to say.
The atmosphere here at the
courthouse is electric today.
Stormy Daniels is the most anticipated witness in this case.
It was the first time Trump has come face to face with her since their alleged dalliance 17 years ago.
The story began by describing how she first met Trump in 2006 at a golf tournament in Lake Tahoe.
Later that day, she says Trump's trusted bodyguard, Keith Schiller,
invited her to have dinner with Trump in his suite at the hotel. She says Trump was waiting
for her dressed in satin pajamas. Does Hugh Hefner know you stole his pajamas? She says she told him.
She testified that they talked about Melania. He showed me a few pictures and things and I said,
your wife is very beautiful. He said, don't worry about that.
We don't even sleep in the same room.
She says they also talked about Ivanka.
He said, you remind me of my daughter because she's smart, blonde and beautiful and people underestimate her.
Trump looks uncomfortable as Stormy was talking about Melania and Ivanka.
He had a scowl on his face and was shaking his head. The porn star then told the court she picked up a magazine and swatted him on the butt with it.
Several citizens on the jury giggled, but Trump turned to his attorneys in disgust,
using choice words, claiming the story was a bunch of bull.
Another part that they didn't see that we didn't have the audio for it.
They said that when she went to the bathroom he allegedly was laying
on the bed in his tighty whities
and they
asked was he wearing a condom
she said no
they asked was that concerning she said yes
she said after
allegedly he said oh it was great
let's get together again
honey bunch and she said she just wanted to leave
do they realize how ridiculous this looks to so many people?
Like, what else are you supposed to wear in bed if you're having sex?
A suit and tie?
You're supposed to have on drawers.
What is that supposed to prove?
What is that proof?
You're having sex.
Of course you're going to be laying in your drawers.
You think you're going to humiliate a person by detailing that they was laying in their drawers in bed while having sex?
What else are they supposed to be wearing?
This is kind of crazy,
though. They think this
is going to humiliate them, but it's not.
I think this is not going to have the
impact that they are
hoping that it has. Even the remarks about his
daughter and his wife, he said, don't worry about
that. That's what you're supposed to tell a side chick.
That's right.
You know what you're asking about my wife. You know what you're supposed to tell us right like why you know why are you yeah you know what you're here to do right i don't know man it's funny though but anyway
also you know about the five second rule and by the way what i don't like how y'all spawned that
spanking story i thought y'all were telling me that like it was really like i really was ready
like she had a paddle yeah she was going. And because, you know, some people, like, they have fetishes.
Like, bondage.
What's it called?
Dominatrix.
The Matrix.
I don't know about your freaking life.
Not The Matrix.
I don't know about your freaking life.
All I said was she spanked him.
And she did.
What were y'all thinking?
No.
There was really no spanking.
No, that was not a.
That was a playful grabber magazine tap, tap.
I thought you were about to tell me something.
Like, that big orange ass was in the air.
What? Yeah. Like, he was in the air Like he wanted it
He ain't telling me nothing
He's poking it out
That's actually like a fetish
People love that
Face down, Trump up
I thought you were about to tell me something
Face down, Trump up
Now let's move on
You know about the 5 second rule, right?
If you drop it on the floor Yeah, if you drop it on the floor Oh, no, no, that's didn't happen. Oh, my God. Now, let's move on. You know about the five-second rule, right? What? No.
Charlamagne, you know the five-second rule?
Yeah, if you drop it on the floor.
Yeah, if you drop it on the floor.
Oh, pick it up and kiss it and go, you can still eat it?
You were still on Trump when I said five-second rule?
Yeah, like, what is that? No, no, we moved on.
I still do that now.
Well, you shouldn't do that anymore,
and this is why a doctor says you shouldn't do the five-second rule anymore.
If you've ever shouted five-second rule when food hits the floor,
I've got news for you.
This is a pretty big deal. There's a recent survey showed that half of people are happy to eat
food after it's been on the floor.
Scientists called Dawson and colleagues wanted to settle this matter once and for all, checking
the bacterial transfer onto food on different surfaces like wood, tile and carpet.
Firstly, they found that dangerous bacterial colonies like Salmonella and Campylobacter
can live on the floor for up to four weeks.
When food's dropped on tile surfaces, it picks up 99% of the colonies there instantly.
On wood, it varies, but usually it's about 50% of the colonies or less, so a bit safer.
But on carpet, less than 0.5% of the bacterial colonies actually transfer to the food when it's picked up in less than
5 seconds.
Colony transfer does increase the longer the food stays there.
So the 5 second rule doesn't apply unless it's on a carpet but don't risk it.
So they're saying 99% of bacteria jumps to your food if it's on tile, 50% of the bacteria
goes on wood and if you have carpet you good money.
Yo Charlemagne is pissed off he can't eat off the floor.
First of all, I'm not going to stop.
Dear doctor, shut the F up forever.
I was raised on a dirt road in Mount Cornish, South Carolina.
I've been doing this for 45 years, okay?
I'll be 46 on June 29th, 1978.
I was born in the 1900s, okay?
That's why people's immune system is not as strong as those of us born in the 1900s.
That's right.
Okay?
Shut up.
I don't want nothing in our system.
Just nothing.
The only floor you don't eat off is the bathroom floor.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Absolutely.
That's it.
Why are you even taking food in the bathroom?
That's it.
The bathroom floor.
And maybe floors that's not yours.
It's not like I do this in public.
But if I'm at home, okay, if I'm at home and something drops, you pick it up, you eat it.
It's just not the bathroom floor.
Only at home. I don't do that at restaurants. If you drop it pick it up, you eat it. It's just not the bathroom floor. Only at home.
I don't do that at restaurants.
If you drop in a restaurant, it stays there.
Yeah, I don't do it.
No, not at restaurants.
You do it at your home or your grandma's house.
Places that you are comfortable.
Yeah.
That you have really frequented.
Not go front.
Unless it's like an oxtail or like a lamb chop.
Because you know meals that's not.
They cost too much.
Yeah, all right.
Thank you, God. Thank you, God. That's right, They cost too much. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Thank you, God.
That's right, man.
Stop playing with me.
I ain't going front.
Every once in a while, McDonald's fry fall on the floor on the carpet.
I pick that right up.
A fry?
A McDonald's fry?
Yeah.
If it falls on the carpet, yes.
Oh, my.
It'd be like last Friday.
No, I don't.
All right.
Forget it.
All right.
And that is front page.
I still cost, bro.
You know what I still cost a pound?
Yes. Or like a piece of lamby. Or if you front page. I still cost, bro. I still cost a pound. Yes.
Or like a piece of lamby.
Or if you cut in the state.
Rich, you got to be the drop a piece of lamb chop on the floor and just leave it there.
All right.
When we come back, Angela Rye and Marilyn Mosby will be joining us.
Ex-Baltimore prosecutor Marilyn Mosby, man.
She was convicted of mortgage fraud.
That's right.
They convicted her.
They said she lied
to a mortgage lender
in 2021
and she purchased
a vacation property
in Florida
and now she's facing
40 years.
It's more to the story
but it's a lot more
to the story.
It's not that.
That's the headline.
She got a bunch
of police officers
locked up for doing wrong.
She'll talk about it
when she comes back.
They on her ass.
But she's facing 40 years.
Yes, she is. I think it's a grave injustice but we'll discuss. When we come back. So don comes back. But she's facing 40 years.
I think it's a grave injustice,
but we'll discuss. When we come back.
So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy,
Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. We have former
Baltimore City State Attorney Marilyn Mosby.
Welcome. Thank you for having me. Thank you.. We have former Baltimore City State Attorney Marilyn Mosby. Welcome.
Thank you for having me.
Thank you.
We also have Angela Rye here as well.
Hello.
Hello, Ms. Rye.
Why y'all both got on camera flies?
What's up?
We ready for war?
We ready for war.
It wasn't even on purpose.
It's being on one accord.
We ready for war.
Taylor was too earlier.
Okay.
Okay.
How are you though, Marilyn?
How are you feeling?
I feel grateful.
It's been really, really hard.
I mean, we'll get into the case, but no, I have been accused of doing something that I have not done.
I'm innocent. I'm facing 40 years for withdrawing funds from my retirement savings.
The United States government, a global superpower, is actually coming for me. And so it's been hard and it's been daunting, but I feel blessed because I have people in my corner like the great Angela Rye.
Right. This bold, beautiful, brilliant black woman who is using her platform to heighten what I'm going through.
I mean, the only thing I can say is gratitude.
Let's start from the beginning. Well, you are Baltimore City State's attorney.
So you're doing your job. Yeah. And then it took a shift. When did it
start taking a shift? When did the government start attacking you? And for what reason?
So five months into my first term, unfortunately, a young black man by the name of Freddie Carlos
Gray Jr. was killed in the custody of police when he was unconstitutionally arrested, placed into a metal wagon, headfirst,
feet shackled and handcuffed and is pleased for medical attention were ignored.
I followed the facts with the law.
I wouldn't do anything differently.
But I charged those police officers.
And at that time, I was one of the first prosecutors in the country to attempt to hold police officers
accountable for the death of a black man.
And so that wasn't happening in this country.
And so it immediately came with a great deal of backlash.
You know, I got hate mail and death threats,
people describing how my then, my now ex-husband would come out of our house
and he would be killed and how no police officers would respond.
It was a lot.
This is pre-Trump. This is, you know,
I had a social media was it was off the chain. This is before, you know, you get kind of get
used to it now. But this had a red nation rising where they were sending me all kinds of like hate
mail. And it was it was insane. But that's when they started to come for my law license.
They were trying to, you know, do whatever they could to break me.
And what we learned out of that case, those officers were acquitted.
And in my opinion, the police department sabotaged the case.
But we learned our lessons.
So in 2016, when I dismissed it, we put out a slate of police accountability reform proposals that were subsequently adopted
nationally after George Floyd. You can go on record and you can see those same sort of proposals.
We also learned our lessons in that during my tenure, we then subsequently prosecuted 33 police
officers successfully. Right. Not just you didn't go after just the Freddie Gray police officers,
33 other police officers successfully.
Anybody that preyed upon the vulnerabilities of the citizens of Baltimore had to deal with my office. There was a gun trace task force.
This was one of the largest police corruption scandals in the history of the country, where for decades you had officers planting guns and drugs on citizens. And so understanding that the credibility of those officers were at issue, you know,
we drafted legislation, lobbied for legislation, went against my colleagues across the state,
and we were able to pass a vacature statute that in the interest of justice gave prosecutors
mechanisms to vacate the convictions.
Imagine, you know, individuals like that making claims on citizens
and and they're lying so we had to review thousands of cases and ultimately through that
legislation that we we we created we vacated the convictions of over 800 individuals and that ain't
getting you no fans in law enforcement and police you know absolutely not i mean yeah especially
when the lead prosecutor on the gun trace task force i'm gonna say this part because she shouldn't
um the gun trace task force leo wise which is a lawyer who before he went to the maryland u.s
attorney's office worked on capitol hill all of his targets were black people he goes there he
prosecutes these gun trace task force members five of them are black three of them
are white he doesn't go after their boss maryland says oh well since we're you're finding corruption
we're gonna make sure that we review all these cases i think that this man's ego didn't allow
for him to see that that was actually beneficial if there was someone who did wrong by the law then
the conviction should be overturned he took that as a personal affront.
Not only was he the lead prosecutor
on the case against Marilyn,
he donated to her
political opponents.
That in and of itself
should be a material conflict
that got him removed
from the cases against her.
So they went after her.
They were looking for things
over and over again.
Donald Trump said
that he was going to
go after the protesters during
the George Floyd unrest in this country
and targeted Baltimore as one of them.
That's not the first time he named check Maryland.
Two months after,
well, they wrote an op-ed saying
if you come to our cities, if you send the feds
to our cities, we're going to prosecute the feds.
Another bold move by her. Two months after
that, she was under federal investigation.
That's not by accident. That's not happenstance.ance now before we get to the case right what other things were
they doing to you that you started to notice like when you realize like okay they on my ass
so i mean i understood and recognized that you know challenging the status quo wasn't just my
you know attempts to to balance the scales of justice when it comes to holding police
officers accountable.
There were a great deal of other like reforms that we put into place.
You guys covered it at one point. We stopped prosecuting low level marijuana possession cases.
Right. In the city of Baltimore before it was legalized because there was an expectation that, you know,
that the guys in certain neighborhoods, they could get the substance use.
And unfortunately, we wanted to criminalize black folks even after we did decriminalize 10 grams or less in marijuana.
And the police were responsible for issuing citations.
Ninety five percent of the citations that they were issuing were issued to one particular one out of nine police districts
that district that they were issuing the citations happened to be 95 black and disproportionately
impoverished right and so when we look at that fact that there's no disparate use among white
and black people when it comes to mere possession of marijuana in in america if you're a white person
you're you're i mean a black person you're four times more likely to be arrested for mere possession of marijuana.
However, in the city of Baltimore, you were six times more likely.
And what I said is we're not I'm never going to be complicit in discriminatory enforcement of laws against poor black and brown people.
So my colleagues would call me morons. You know, they were constantly attacking me.
And and this was nothing new because people are always going to be resistant to change i
understood that i recognized that you know i started the first conviction integrity unit in
the entire state of maryland where we did re-investigations into claims of actual innocence
and under my tenure we exonerated 13 innocent black men who collectively served 300 years in
prison for crimes they didn't commit i started a sentencing review
unit where we released and modified the sentence of over 60 individuals that are juvenile lifers
in the elderly prison population and so when you're going against the status quo and you're
attempting to reduce the jail population and in a system that has disproportionately impacted and has based their business model
off the backs of black and brown people.
I knew people were going to come for me.
I just didn't think that they were going to use this system against me in a way in which
I would be wrongly convicted and face the same sort of reality as all of those exonerees.
All right.
We have more with Marilyn Mosby and Angela Rye.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it with Marilyn Mosby.
She was the state attorney for Baltimore from 2015 to 2023,
and right now she's brought up on charges of fraud.
Charlamagne?
The indictment that happened in
2022 that was the first time they they came for you so the feds actually for five years they had
been investigating every aspect of my life they made it very public because they wanted to to to
create this narrative that i was somehow a villain and corrupt and so I was shocked when they came back and they indicted me of withdrawing my own
money, the money that I put away every two weeks out of my in my retirement savings.
Baltimore deferred compensation retirement account. Yes, a deferred compensation account.
And they said that and made it out to be as if I was I was utilizing PPP loans or COVID relief funding, right? Like,
no, this is this is literally my money. Now, it's adverse financial consequence legally is different
than a financial hardship. A financial hardship has been defined. There is precedence already
set for it. But an adverse financial consequence has not been legally defined. What I was attempting
to do was to access my money. And I didn't know how I
was going to do it, but I wanted to be able to access my money. I called, you know, nationwide.
They told me, hey, there's this provision. If you meet any of this criteria, right? And again,
adverse financial consequence. And there's a recorded call of you calling nationwide where
you ask is very clear that she's asking for clarification on how this
can this money can be accessed and withdrawn and what i was told was that i could i could access
my money what the government put on the stand is that david randall who's the executive director
for the deferred compensation fund for baltimore city he said all you needed to do was suffer a $50 adversity and you could access your
money. 739
people in the city of Baltimore
did the exact same thing
that I did and I'm the only person
in America
that has now been
targeted, prosecuted, and convicted
of doing this and facing
40 years in jail. I don't know if you
know this part, but it's actually United States overall.
Thirty five thousand people did the same thing, withdrawing from their retirement, their retirement accounts.
None of them were prosecuted either. And I think that's an important part.
The thing that I think we got to be mindful of today and on this show is Marilyn is still facing 40 years in prison.
Well, you've been convicted, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's facing 40 years in prison. Well, you've been convicted, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, she's facing 40 years in prison.
Her sentencing is on May 23rd.
The judge who, frankly, again, this is not Marilyn talking.
This is me, to be very clear.
The judge who ruled against her defense team, mostly on every motion and mostly on every objection, is responsible for her sentencing.
She cannot prosecute this case on air or anywhere else because the judge could use that against her.
And so I think we've got to be mindful about what we're saying and how we're saying it.
What you're saying is is a thousand percent true.
But she is a former prosecutor and she can't prosecute.
Let me ask you a question from a protector standpoint.
We just got to be mindful of that.
So from what I'm hearing is as and you
could clarify this so it's pretty much saying hey the feds don't like her and we're gonna find
anything possible we can to shut her down you would you feel like you were targeted well it's
not just the feds right like like angela has already outlined it was the prior administration
so that's trump's administration that was very clear when i prosecuted those offices in freddie gray he said i think she ought to prosecute herself
hit william barr which was his attorney general called out baltimore called out a number of other
progressive what he said were social justice reform prosecutors that were negating and
diminishing the rule of law he said at at a press conference in February of 2020,
we will do anything to any jurisdiction.
The Department of Justice will do anything we need to
to ensure any jurisdiction or any individual politician
is conforming with the rule of law.
They opened up an investigation into me in October,
the moment that Leah Wise became the individual with the pattern of discriminatory investigation against people of color came.
They opened that investigation.
And this is this is all related to this prior administration.
What has who has the power now to do something about that is this administration.
And that that's where, you know angela can tell you
about what what we have going on i think the difficult part here is um there's something
very simple that the biden administration could have done at the outset and that is to review
all of the department of justice cases that were currently open um particularly in the public
corruption unit the reason for that
is we know, because he
said it on air all the time, that he would target
and prosecute his political enemies.
We also know that he would pardon
people before they were even charged with anything
if they were his friends.
It seems to me that common sense would have been
for the Attorney General Merrick Garland
to say, let me take a look at these cases.
We have another friend, of course,
the co-host of National
Native Lampod, Andrew Gillum,
who was acquitted from federal
charges, but was under the same,
it was the same circumstances. These prosecutors
who are career, but are very
political. Again, Leo Wise, who
donated to Maryland's political opponents.
There's a clear conflict. Now, let me ask you a question,
Ms. Brown. Yeah. Now, you come up here all the time
and you talk about the Biden administration
and how you hate when Charlamagne sometimes
goes against them because, you know,
how they should be helping our people, right?
And you go hard for the Biden administration.
You read in the comments.
Well, you go against the other side, I should say.
I absolutely go against the other side.
I will always applaud them
if they're doing something right, to be fair. I'm not against
them. So now in a situation of what's right,
it's clear what's right, what they
should be doing. That's right. They don't do the
right thing. How do you feel about the Biden administration
now? I think that this is an
administration that actually
owes Maryland. And the reason for that
is when Joe
Biden was being called Crime Bill Joe
or Kamala Harris was being called the top cop.
Marilyn went out and said, let me make sure y'all understand that I modeled my prosecutorial office after Kamala.
Not Biden.
She went out.
She he wasn't a prosecutor.
I'm just saying.
Lenard.
I'm just saying how people think.
I understand.
You use him as a reference.
I'm just saying how people think.
Anyway, the point is, during the campaign, she stumped for them.
When Kamala had a bill on how they were going to review recreational marijuana,
Marilyn was testifying before the United States Senate because she was a forefront leader here.
I'm not saying that this is a political quid pro quo.
I'm saying you owe it to justice to do the right thing.
You owe it to Maryland to protect her and insulate her, not just for Maryland, but for every prosecutor who followed suit after Kamala, Madam Vice President, after Kim Fox, Rachel, like all of these black women prosecutors are now under attack.
That is not by an accident.
That is not by an accident.
That is by design. They are trying to ensure that other folks do not come forward and pursue progressive justice in the ways that they have.
These are the things that create DEI, equitable opportunities for our folks.
If we don't do it this way, we end up overly incarcerated and underemployed under like not having the opportunities we deserve.
I don't disagree. I don't disagree. I forgot. Does he not remember all these things?
Are you not reaching out to him? No, you know, we're reaching out.
So we have a petition out on the color change platform.
You can also go to justice for Maryland Mosby dot com. And there you will find this petition.
It is to President Biden. There are letters that are going out.
There's a civil rights organization letter that just went out yesterday that is important
for people to understand this isn't just some random people like coming together for maryland
all of the community is saying no no this is the right thing to do ben crump has been a very vocal
advocate and you know he's um very supportive of the biden harris administration i think what we
have to understand is it may not be on his radar. He does have a genocide that he's, you know, watching and having to engage in.
No, no, no.
I'm saying I agree with that.
And some of the pushback has been that Maryland didn't fill out a pardon application.
We were initially advised.
And so we don't fill out the application, but also it is on his radar now.
We have more with Marilynilyn mosby state attorney for
baltimore uh she was state attorney from 2015 to 2023 we'll be back with us the breakfast club good
morning morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club
we're still kicking it with marilyn mosby now i got a question do the people support you do the
people in baltimore support you or they they have an understanding the reason i ask is when people sometimes see state attorney they automatically
think she prosecutes so many people so that i handle herself right and the problem with that
is you have so many people that that will feel like state attorneys do a lot of times do the
same thing that they're doing to you right so for people out there that feel like they've been
through it and they haven't had
the voice that you've had, what do you say to those people to make sure that they understand
that you weren't that type of attorney? I don't know if you were or you weren't.
So I think the people of Baltimore recognize that I was not that typical sort of case processing
attorney that was thinking about only convictions. The mantra of my office was justice over
convictions. And that was something that I took to heart. You know, I went to over 3000 community association churches and schools throughout my tenure.
I had the first crime control and prevention division out of a state attorney's office where we touch more than 20,000 young people throughout my tenure.
There were so many things I had community liaisons and representatives in the community.
There were so many things that I understood and recognized that you have to be able to break down those barriers of distrust, right? We touched 52,000 victims and
witnesses of crime. We renovated the victim witness room. There were so many things that we did.
And I think that fundamentally, the people of Baltimore understood that I was a different type
of prosecutor. It was justice over convictions. But when you have conservative media, right, and biased media that villainize you day in and day
out, 24 hours a day, the only thing that they're focusing on is you and they're comparing you. Oh,
this is just a yet another corrupt Baltimore politician or better yet, just another black
Baltimore city criminal
right they they put that into the minds of individuals and they did this for years upon
years and I couldn't say anything about it because there was a gag order right and I couldn't even
defend myself so yes the people of Baltimore a number of them have been hoodwinked right right
Malcolm X said it. You don't pay
attention. The media will have you hating
the
oppressed and
loving the oppressor.
At the end of the day,
the one thing I can say,
and yes, this has been extremely isolating
and
painful because I did sacrifice
so much of myself to do what was right.
But I feel grateful because God, even the conditions on top of the federal government
coming for me, right?
Like I've had to go through heartbreak and betrayal.
I've lost everything from my reputation, my election, my career, my marriage.
It was in a 25-year relationship.
I had to walk away from, right?
Like my car, my grandmother is in hospice right now.
She raised me. There was so many other sort of elements of like,
what is this God, right?
But at the same time, I'm grateful because he brought
and the people that I loved unconditionally
showed me the conditions of their love. And at my lowest, at my lowest, it was me and God.
It was me and God.
I was walking out.
The most sobering moment for me was in the courtroom when I turned around that first trial.
And I wanted to shield my girls, so I didn't bring them.
They see enough.
My kids have been confronted in school, and they're like, kids are cruel. that's why your mother's going to jail right and it's it's affected them
so the first trial I was like okay I'm gonna get through this and the most sobering moment
is when I turned around and there was nobody in the courtroom and I prayed on it and I said God
what is this and I came out media is Media is asking me, how you feel?
How you feel?
I feel blessed.
I feel blessed.
And what I realized is that God was with me.
My angel guides were with me.
My ancestors are with me.
I didn't need anybody.
But that second trial, let me tell you, he sent perfect strangers into my life.
My mother and father didn't even show up to trial.
That was so sobering for me but he sent
perfect strangers in my life that advocated for me that i refer to as my earth angels that have
taken on this cause you know angela has been phenomenal using her platform you know and trying
to just figure out how i'm gonna live like when you deplete your your savings and i still have
a mortgage and now i have rent because i don't have the house that I was living in.
And like I brought my girls because I wanted them to see what it feels like to have faith.
Right. And to see strength in the face of adversity.
What do you say to what about the perjury charge?
The perjury is related to me withdrawing the funds from the COVID provision.
There's no retirement From your retirement account.
From my retirement account.
They have not prosecuted or used this provision for anyone else.
As Angela has already indicated, I didn't even realize 35,000 people in America have done the same thing under this provision.
The person in Baltimore City, I told you 739 people did that in the city of Baltimore.
I am the only person in America that has America, that has been investigated, prosecuted and now convicted.
The thing to know about this, too, is the perjury is about saying she experienced an adverse financial consequence.
Right.
That is Maryland's to know.
And the problem is this judge.
Again, this is not Maryland talking.
This is me.
She told the jury to rely on their own common sense it is in the court transcripts that's not a jury instruction
she told the jury that it is defined in the cares act an adverse financial consequence is defined in
the cares act it is not it's defined as an adverse financial consequence and as someone who has
written legislation on the hill we ain't got time to define everything. So you got to give them what the parameters are for that in the jury instructions.
That is your obligation as the judge.
The worst thing I think about this is for Marilyn to have experienced an adverse financial consequence doesn't mean that her salary took a hit, which is what DOJ was trying to tie.
Like, well, you're still driving the same change.
Yeah, right.
But that's not the case.
It could be that she had to start taking care of another family member who experienced hardship, who was laid off, who was furloughed.
And we all had those family members who we all were like, what is going to happen?
We it was a very scary time. Mind you, all the members of Congress who are withdrawing their same salaries but could get PPP loans.
They weren't prosecuted. And we're not even talking about PPP. Governor Hogan, this brings me back to my point from five minutes ago.
Governor Hogan gave the feds money to prosecute fraud related to the CARES Act.
You want to know when he did it? Shortly after Marilyn was indicted.
That was by design so that they could ensure that they did whatever they needed to to lock her up.
They literally targeted that money to CARES Act related fraud.
So you receive a pardon, Marilyn. What do you do moving forward?
I mean, I'm able to live my life again. I'm able to continue to fight for justice.
I mean, this is not back in the politics. I don't know.
Let me tell you right now, I'm a little jaded right now at this moment,
but I'm not going to stop fighting for justice and fighting for what's right in this country.
I think, you know, that for me is a calling.
So I just want to be able to live again.
I want to be able to to be with my babies and when they're not babies, my teenagers and and establish my life again.
Like I deserve to live. I think I've sacrificed a lot to ensure that the skills of justice are fair.
So what's the call to action? What do we need people to do?
We need people to sign this petition. Where is it?
It's on justice for Marilyn Mosby dot com.
The petition is calling on president
biden to issue a pardon to do the right thing because sometimes even good people need to be
called to account and to be asked to do the right thing so we'll keep doing it you can debate if
he's good or not but go ahead well not not today not on this not in the call to action um and i
think the other thing that's important for people to do is to spread the word talk about this case
if you know that this is ridiculous that someone is facing 40 years in prison one for something they didn't do but
especially something around withdrawing money from their own retirement account speak up because if
we don't it can happen to any of us that is the point so i think those are the two calls to action
for those who are listening what's that again justice Justiceformarylandmosby.com Sign that pardon petition
and also make sure
that you're sharing this story.
Sign the petition.
That's right.
It's Marilyn Mosby.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Yes, it's the world's
most dangerous morning show
The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God,
Jess Hilarious,
Envy Around Here Somewhere.
Thank you, Marilyn Mosby
and Angela Rye
for joining us.
Dropping the clues bombs
from Marilyn Mosby.
Okay, always remember
an injustice anywhere
is a threat to justice everywhere.
Now it's time for
Jess with the mess.
News is real.
Weathers,
lines,
Jessica Robin Moore.
Jess don't do no lies.
Don't do no lies.
She don't spare nobody.
Worldwide Jess,
worldwide mess.
On the breakfast club.
She's a coach of shit.
She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.
It's time to set it on.
Oh, my God.
So, Khloe Kardashian had missed a test in Tristan Thompson several times.
So, she sat down and did a podcast with Dr. A and Mary Alice Haney.
And she talked about her son, Tatum.
And he was born through surrogacy, for those who didn't know.
And she spoke on how much he looked like her father
and her brother and what it led her to do.
DNA tests for Tatum.
He was so offended.
And I'm like, but this, he doesn't look like.
This could be my brother by accident.
I would, in this family, that would not surprise me.
But I would be, that would be so disgusting but i just was like i need i remember she was like you've already done a dna test so i
need to do another one i need to figure it out so she had tristan do three paternity tests because
she said uh her son tatum didn't look like her or him well he don't look like you now dummy like we talk about
of course and she thought that her brother may have like donated sperm he looks like you and
your brother you didn't look like that before all your life you looked like your brother at one point
everybody thought y'all was twins oh so you mean like the baby looks like her pre-surgery
pre-surgery yeah that yeah she forgot what she looked like?
No, I don't think that she forgot.
No, there's no way you can forget.
So they must have not had an exclusive relationship
where she was dating another man and having sex with other men
if she had to take the DNA test.
Yeah, it was a surrogate.
Yeah, she didn't have a vaginal.
Yeah, that was a surrogate baby.
But it was like, no, you don't...
So wait a minute, wait a minute wait i'm confused i'm confused so with
a surrogate because you just walked in here but wait that's all right with a surrogate she knows
they picked the sperm exactly and it's tristan yeah okay yeah it's tristan's baby and of course
they had a surrogate you know but she is just so distracted by the fact that he doesn't look like either one of them her or Tristan
her now and Tristan
is the baby projected to be
a first round draft pick in 2047
I'm not sure but the baby is beautiful
beautiful little boy he just looked like
what she used to look like and her brother
and their father
which brother Rob?
they only got one brother
I can't tell they only had one
father at one point that was a good way out but no they only got one brother y'all
but her real father her real father her real father um uh Rob the Kardashian senior or
somebody like that all right yeah so anyway moving on Brian McKnight's
son slams Tyrese
for his input
now the story starts
with Brian McKnight
calling his children
products of sin
a little while back
he received some
backlash for it
and it was even
speculation
that the cancellation
of one of his
recent shows
came from the
lack of support
well came from
like his statements
about his kids
Ricky Smiley
was one
of the people who stepped up to share his thoughts and support for brian mcknight's kids and i just
want to say to brian mcknight kids to all his kids the ones that he said that's born and eat born out
of evil or born in evil whatever he said uh or whatever let you know that you have a lot of
support out here uh we here at the Ricky Smiley Morning Show support you.
If anybody get this message out to Brian McKnight, two sons and daughter,
you are always welcome to the state of Alabama, to the great state of Alabama,
where you have men and you have uncles and you have a lot of people take on kids
that have been abandoned by fathers. I've seen a lot of it. I have no idea of people take on kids that have been abandoned by fathers i've seen a lot of it
i have no idea what's going on okay so brian mcknight a minute ago had called his children
products of a sin of sin um and he didn't do anything for them didn't raise them anything
like that um but and he only claims i think his new kids his new kids with his wife um and then
those kids are grown the one he don, the ones that he don't claim.
So Ricky Smiley has stepped up
in support of those children.
Oh, yeah, I know.
But why is Ricky Smiley going so hard?
I'm not sure.
Well, you know, he lost a son.
And he actually is a very, very sweet-hearted person.
He'll give you the shirt off his back.
He invites you to stay at his house.
He has a lot of homes,
a lot of property or whatever
you know to get back on your feet or whatever but i i just love the support but tyrese he wasn't
really feeling that and um he jumped online to say this following ricky smiley's what audio what i
want to address is i want to talk to my brother ricky smiley and i want to say to you that it is unfair in my grown man opinion to say that that man and the mother of his kids, which are now grown adults past 30 years old, whatever their specific dynamic is.
There's a bunch of things that have been said and done over the years.
That is nobody's business that has contributed to where they are
2024 is so wild so wild and crazy ricky smiley beefing with brian mcknight with side commentary
from tyrese now hey they are not beefing shut up um it's gonna go down at essence fest this year
they're gonna need extra security oh my goodness nick and listen mcknight the sun popped out he
had to check tyrerese real quick.
He said, Tyrese, you used to sleep under our pool
table when I was a kid.
Y'all can't find no futon for this boy?
Anyway, he said, I know the 90s
R&B brotherhood blood is thicker than
anything, but you should sit this one out, champ.
You have relationships to fix your own
with your own children and your
own past decisions you've made on behalf of
Coochie and Power,
the allegiance to those two things is what keeps you guys from seeing that the only thing that matters in the end is family.
Real men can see past BS.
Let me stop, though.
This 46-hour chemo infusion has me ready to fade Jody, and that's not right.
So he wanted us to know, obviously, he has cancer, but he said we'll slap you. Right.
And listen,
he's not wrong.
Tyrese caused that on himself.
Right.
That young man would have had nothing to say to Tyrese
if Tyrese didn't interject himself
into this situation.
Now we know Tyrese
used to sleep under Brian
on that pool table.
Right, right.
Which sounds crazy.
Yeah.
Like, oh, you think
because he used to let you
sleep under the pool table?
The pool table?
That he's a good father?
Like, what are you talking about?
He didn't even give you a pillow. Why was Tyrese sleeping under his pool table? The pool table? That he's a good father? Like, what are you talking about? He didn't even give you a pillow.
Why was Tyrese sleeping under his pool table?
That's the better question.
No, the better question is why everybody in Brian McKnight's life?
Like, why don't they mind their business?
This is family business, and we don't know what happens.
We only hear what they want us to hear.
We only hear one side.
Why don't everybody just mind their business?
Now, I will say.
That's what Tyrese was saying, though.
Yes, I want everybody to mind their business.
Me and him, too. I got you. But it's cool when people don't mind their business? Now, I will say. That's what Tyrese was saying, though. Yes, I want everybody to mind their business. Me and him, too.
I got you.
But it's cool when people don't mind their business and we get information like Tyrese used to sleep under Brian McKnight's pool table. Yeah, I like that.
That's funny.
Because it's like, all right now.
The visual is crazy.
Why?
That's all you care about.
I ain't never heard of nobody sleeping under a pool table.
Under a pool table.
But the fact that it's Jody?
Guys, just imagine.
He bumped up under there, both his hands on his head.
That's right.
You should have listened to your mama, Jody.
If you'd have listened to your mama, okay, in baby boy,
she wouldn't have kicked you out the house.
You wouldn't have had to go sleep under the pool table.
If that didn't want you staying there,
you ended up under Brian McKnight pool table.
One last cry.
All right, so that's Jess with the Mets for the second hour.
Thank you, Jess.
Charlamagne, who you giving that down?
Man, I need everybody who had a problem with Rudy Gobert missing game two of the NBA playoffs
to come to the front of the congregation.
Gilbert Arenas, Draymond Green.
I'd like to discuss something with all you brothers.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
You're checking out The Breakfast Club.
Charlemagne, say the game.
Donkey on the chain.
Charlemagne.
You are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day does not discriminate.
I might not have the song to go, but I got the donkey of the day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man,
I like to be that.
It's a breakfast club, bitch.
Who's donkey of the day today?
Let me tell you why I love Jess Hilarious,
and that's why that's my sister,
because I was going to say something.
I was just going to wait until the mics came on.
Now, it's one, two, three, one two three four five six eight people in this room
It was it was smelled so bad in this room. They did several seconds ago crazy. I was just waiting to say something
Okay, so Jesse now whoever wanted to fart in this room, you know, like you should have said, you know
You should have said it before you let one loose. Here's the thing. I don't know if that was a fart
That's all I'm saying. I don't know who it is.
There's still six people in here. Whatever it is.
There's something still lingering. I'm just saying.
My baby wasn't even moving.
My baby was like, um, hello. That's all I'm saying.
God damn it. Light another
candle. Don't hear today.
For Wednesday, May 8th, goes to
everyone who is upset with Minnesota Timberwolves
player Rudy Gobert.
From Draymond Green to Gilbert Arenas.
By the way, two of my favorite personalities by far.
I like listening to these brothers talk basketball.
So let's be clear.
They know way more about this basketball subject than me.
But since when in this era do you have to have knowledge to speak on something?
Now, Rudy Gobert, who was named defensive player of the year for a fourth time yesterday,
missed game two of the NBA playoffs versus the Denver Nuggets because of what I believe is a really legitimate reason, the birth of his very first child.
A round of applause for Rudy Gobert and the mother of his child.
I don't know many men who would want to miss the birth of their very first child under any circumstances.
Those kids are going to be in your life long after basketball is over.
The birth of a child is not one of those things you get to witness again. I can remember every single one
of my babies when they came into this world, especially the first one. Okay. My first daughter
came out the womb with prayer hands. I promise you, she came out holding her hands together like
she was praying. And that is a memory I will never forget. One of the greatest moments, memories of
my life. So as a man, I completely respect and appreciate Rudy putting his family
and the birth of his child over
basketball. Gilbert Arenas thinks otherwise.
Can we listen to what Gilbert Arenas had to say on the Gilbert Arenas
show? So we got an interesting wrinkle
for game two. Rudy Gobert is
questionable for the game due to personal
reason that's becoming a father for the first
time. I mean, this is a game for
that baby. I see you. It's a baby, bro.
It's going to be there when you get back. We hope. I mean, I is a game for that baby. I see you. It's a baby, bro. It's gonna be there when you get back.
We open.
I mean, I'm just saying.
Whatever you about to think you're about to do with the baby, he gonna be sweet.
Like I get you wanna be with your wife and smile and stuff and
you're good NBA healthcare insurance.
Right.
It's because of you playing.
So first child not as important as game two of second round playoff.
Man, listen.
Bruh.
She in the hospital with great doctors.
You taking your goofy ass down.
He's on the baby, right?
All right.
Face time.
You IG daddy.
Just do it.
Hey, hey.
What the fuck?
Whatever.
Just off the phone.
I'll see you after the game.
Now I find Gilbert Arena hilarious. And most of the time I agree
with things he says, but now is not one of those times.
I think we take Gilbert serious when he's just clearly
joking. But I don't think he's joking right here.
But I'm also not an NBA player.
I don't have that NBA mindset.
Draymond Green had similar thoughts on
the Draymond Green show. Let's listen.
I was a little skeptical in starting
the game off, number one,
because Rudy was going to miss the game.
And I just felt like I'm a father of four.
I love my kids and I love my wife.
But she's going to have to hold off for me just a few more hours for a playoff game.
Like I just me personally.
Number one, congratulations to him.
Anytime we you know, we have we bring new life into this world, it's a special thing.
And that's something, as I said, as a father of four that I don't take for granted at all.
But I also don't try not to take this game for granted.
Is that how this works, Jess?
You can just hold off on having the baby until the game is over?
Absolutely not.
You will come home to not me or the baby
if you want to run
up and down the court
and put a ball in the hoop.
But I don't care
playoffs or no playoffs.
Once again,
ballplayers talking ball.
We civilians.
It's a different mindset
they have.
Now, I don't know
if Draymond Green
truly believes this
or he just doesn't
like Rudy Gobert.
We know Draymond
isn't a fan of Rudy Gobert
because we watched him
put Draymond
in the million dollar dream.
I mean, we watched him
put Rudy in the million dollar dream in the middle of a game for no reason.
Okay, tried to decapitate him in the middle of a basketball game just because.
So you have to take what Draymond says with a grain of salt as well.
And I do take into consideration, once again, that they are professional basketball players.
A lot of times we on the sidelines contributing to these convos, we don't have the mindset that they have.
Okay, we know nothing about what they think as a
basketball player but as a human just a man i don't have any problem with rudy gobert missing
a second round game two in the nba playoffs to see the birth of his first child what i mean jesus
and we as black men got to be careful about this type of stuff because they're all they are always
ready to reinforce this false narrative that we're not there for our children, which we know is a damn lie.
Okay.
Gilbert said the child will be there when he gets back.
Hopefully.
Hopefully.
So will this series, though.
We already up 1-0 in the series.
The worst case scenario is we lose and it's tied.
Best case scenario is we win without him, which they did.
So Rudy made the right choice.
Now, what makes this even more strange is Gilbert and Draymond gave this criticism after game two was over and the Timberwolves won if they
would have lost you would have had every right to say you know that's why you should have been on
the court I would have still disagreed with you but it's a better debate when the Wolves lose when
the Wolves win y'all just look like dudes who care about basketball more than you care about your
kids and I know that's not the case but guys y'all know we live in an era where folks think their perception is their reality.
Why even give folks the opportunity to run with those kinds of narratives?
OK, I saw people reaching in regards to Gilbert trying to say we're not taking parenting advice from a guy who once did this and a guy who once did that.
Trust me, nothing they were bringing up that i saw had anything to do with this situation okay bringing guns in the locker room has nothing to do with his opinion
on rudy gobert missing a playoff game now shannon sharp and ocho sinko weighed in as well let's
listen it all depends if it's a playoff game we can have another baby i don't know if i'm gonna
be able to make it to the playoff if it's a super bowl i'm damn sure ain't missing that. In Rudy's case, the baby was born, and I'm assuming, I'm hoping,
that mother and child was okay.
I'm out of there.
Once I find out mother and child is okay, I think it's his first child.
So he's-
Let him get the number two.
He might FaceTime.
He might Zoom the whole thing.
But Ocho, that's something that you need to have discussed beforehand.
So therefore, when it it happens nobody's surprised
you know i'm playing i ain't missing no game hey get it in july so guess what the off season
the baby come out the off season y'all gotta play a little better i'm gonna be there for the birth
once you okay i'm gone yeah well that makes sense yeah but once be there for the berth. But once you have berth, I'm gone. I get that.
I do think we have to go to Breakfast Club Court, though,
before I give this hee-haw, because I'm a civilian.
And a lot of these professional athletes do have me questioning myself
just a little bit.
I never played professional sports.
So maybe my take is just a little bit off.
So let's open up the phone lines.
All right.
Let's do it.
Let's go to Breakfast Club Court.
888-585-1051.
What do you think?
Rudy Gobert, he missed game two of the playoffs because he wanted to be there when his baby was born.
He wanted to be there with his lady.
And he's a high-level athlete, right?
He's a high-level athlete.
This is Gilbert Arenas.
This is Draymond Green.
Even though it's not basketball, it's Shannon Sharpe.
He's a high-level athlete saying they would have missed the game as well.
Let's talk about it.
I agree with Shannon a little bit more than all of them, though, because he said,
I would have watched the birth and then went. Make it out of Dodge. That's right. This is his first baby, too. Let's talk about it. I agree with Shannon a little bit more than all of them, though, because he said, I would have watched the berth and then went.
Get out of Dodge.
That's right.
First baby.
First baby.
First baby.
800-585-1051.
You know how tough the playoffs are, right?
Now, the Minnesota Timberwolves, quote, unquote, were supposed to lose, right?
Because everybody was favoring Denver to win this series.
Former champions.
That's right.
So the fact that he was needed game two because they really need all their pieces.
And they know how hard it is to win the playoffs, to win a series, to win a conference finals, to win the chip.
My Knicks haven't done it in years.
By the way, football is a little bit more, would probably confuse you a little bit more because they won and done.
Right.
NBA series, I'm missing the game.
So let's talk about it.
800-585-1051.
What are your thoughts?
Jess O'Leary said if her man went to the game, she's gone.
That's right.
Hello?
Gil would make me go to the game.
Gil would be like, go to the game.
We're going to watch the game.
I wouldn't.
But she would be like, go to the game.
We're going to watch the game.
I wouldn't.
I would be kind of like what Shay Shay said.
I'm going to wait until the baby comes out.
Baby, you okay?
Gone.
Yeah, yeah.
That's what I'd be.
Well, let's open up the phone line.
800-585-1051.
Let's discuss.
And let the record show. It still smells like collard greens in this room. It's what I'll be. Well, let's open up the phone line. 800-585-1051. Let's discuss. And let the record show.
It still smells like collard greens in this room.
It smells like collard greens.
We had collard greens last night.
It ain't smell like no damn collard greens a minute ago.
It was big eggs.
Big eggs.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Come on.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we're in, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now we're in Breakfast Club Court.
Why, Charlamagne?
Because I was attempting to administer a donkey of the day,
and there was a lot of people involved.
I mean, you had Draymond Green.
You had Gilbert Arenas. Just everybody who was upset that Rudy Gobert decided to play,
decided not to play in Game two of the NBA playoff series
against the Denver Nuggets.
They both said that he should have skipped the birth of his baby
to be there on the court for his team.
And when I hear Gilbert Arenas and I hear Draymond Green,
you know, people on social media, they don't really count.
But when I hear Gilbert Arenas, Draymond Green,
and then you hear Shannon Sharpe and Oja Sinko,
you have to say to yourself, we're just civilians.
We're on the sidelines.
We're not high-level athletes like them.
Their mindset is different.
But I just want to make sure I'm not missing something
before I administer this hee-haw.
So that's why I wanted to go to Breakfast Club Court.
Because personally, as a man, I don't find anything wrong
with what Rudy Gobert did.
I'm happy that he decided to choose his family
and the birth of his first child over basketball.
Yeah, I agree.
I mean, it is difficult to get into the playoffs,
especially the second round of the playoffs in NBA basketball.
And Rudy Gobert is not a scrub.
He's a main player.
But I'm with you.
I'm not missing the birth of any of my children now.
I would have waited for the child to come out.
And if everybody was healthy and okay, he's Rudy Gobert.
He makes, what, $20, $30 million a year?
Something like that. I would have got on a private jet and made it to the game., he's Rudy Gobert. He makes, what, $20, $30 million a year? Something like that.
I would have got on a private jet and made it to the game.
That's what Shannon Shaw said.
Shannon Shaw said,
I would have watched the berth,
and then after that, I'm out.
I understand that.
Even as a, whether you're a civilian
or a NBA basketball player,
you know what I'm saying?
I feel like, are you not a dad first?
Yeah.
Like, is that, I don't know.
Like you said, the mindset thing, okay,
could be different because
of who's in the league and everything like that but are you just not a dad first like that's the
moment you can't get back not that oh the baby walked for the first time oh not that first
birthday party oh like but birth let me ask you a question jess what's up tables return right
but then let's say it was Super Bowl.
Your baby daddy or your husband, you're about to have your baby, but it's Super Bowl.
It's one game, one and done, and he's one of the stars of the team.
Please go.
You're going to say go.
If it's Super Bowl, you're going to let him go.
That's what I'm saying.
Football is different.
Yeah.
It's one and done.
Football is different.
These playoff games, it's seven games, right?
Seven games in basketball.
You can miss one game.
It's not like it's game seven.
It's game two.
Yeah.
But you know what I was thinking too
and it just came to me like,
these football players,
these basketball players,
their whole life is about sacrifice.
Correct.
They have to make
so many different sacrifices.
So that's what I say
when our mindset,
we can't even fathom
what they be thinking about
because they sacrifice so much
as humans for basketball. So they be thinking about because they sacrifice so much as humans
for basketball. So they're damn near
willing to sacrifice anything
for the love of that ball.
Pause. Pause. I get it.
Well, let's go to the phone lines. We got Sean on the line.
Sean, good morning. Good morning. Good morning.
Good morning. What's your thoughts, Sean?
I think that Sean
hit the nail
perfectly.
I come from a teaching background.
You know, we try – they say you should try to have your kids in the offseason,
like that June and July.
Like in the NBA, you're supposed to have those conversations
before, you know, you have your kid with your wife.
Like, I believe Rudy has a kid already.
No, no, that was his first job.
First kid.
No, no, I'm going to say I believe he has a championship already.
So I don't think he's missing that much.
No, I don't think Rudy got rid of the jazz.
No, Rudy never won a ring.
No.
He's with the jazz for like 10, 11 years.
He still needs to have that conversation with his wife.
At the end of the day, unless you had that conversation with your team,
and you already know, sometimes you have that confidence in what your
personality is.
If you know that your team is going to straighten them up,
then they probably had that conversation.
You know, we probably don't need you.
That's right.
We got the next man up for you.
We got you.
Okay.
Yeah.
Thank you. Let's go to another caller. We go to line you. That's right. We got the next man up for you. We got you. Okay. Yeah. Thank you.
Let's go to another caller.
We go to line four.
Who's this?
Nev, what up, Nev?
What's up, boss?
How you doing, man?
I'm good.
What's your thoughts?
Listen, this is this man's first child.
They're not the supersede family.
This man, there's no redo.
He cannot miss the birth of his first child.
There's no game two for the birth of your first child.
That takes priority over everything.
If they're going to be mad, meet me in the parking lot.
It is what it is.
Okay, so you think that they should get the donkey of the day?
Absolutely.
Okay.
Thank you, brother.
Absolutely.
All right, boys.
Jasmine, good morning.
Good morning, y'all.
What's your thoughts, Jasmine?
I think that they all deserve the donkey of the day.
And I say that because childbirth is a very dangerous experience.
And whether the child is there or not, you need your partner there to advocate for you.
A lot of things can go left in the blink of an eye, and doctors and nurses will write it off as normal, but it's not.
Your partner needs to be there to look you in the face and say, no, this is not good.
He's not okay.
And a lot of things can change.
So it was very insensitive for them to say those comments
just because the baby is there.
It doesn't mean that she's out of the clear.
So all of them deserve to be heard.
And this is why women are important, because that is very true.
That is something I didn't even think about.
Like, you know, I don't know what the race of Rudy Gobert's
child's mother is,
but we do know
that the maternal death rate,
especially with black people,
black women,
is very, very high.
Yeah.
So, yes,
imagine if you decided
to choose a game
over being there
for the birth of your child
and God forbid
something happens
to the mother of your child.
You would never
forgive yourself for that.
No, you're right.
No, you're absolutely right.
I know when I had my first child,
which was Madison, of course,
Gia had a fever of like 104, 105,
and that's because it was an infection.
They believe the doctor
might have left something inside.
Yeah.
And she had a fever,
and I was there,
and I can imagine if I wasn't there.
Let's say I was out playing a game,
and there was nobody there,
and they had to, you know,
they had to, you know,
she had to lay in an ice- ice cold bed and all that other stuff.
But like you said, yeah, things happen and you want to be there when those things happen.
Yeah, it don't matter if you got a doula.
Yep.
No matter how good the doctors are.
Yep.
You want to be there if something go wrong with the mother of your child.
All right.
Well, let's take some more phone calls when we come back.
800-585-1051.
What is the question, Charlamagne?
Oh, I was just deciding whether or not I should actually give them donkey of the day
because they did make me second guess myself.
I'm listening to all these athletes.
This is Draymond Green.
We're talking about Gilbert Arenas, Shannon Sharp, Otis Ingle.
These athletes are saying they wouldn't have missed the game.
You know, that's not exactly what Shannon said.
Shannon said he would have been there and then left.
But they're saying they would have missed the game,
so it just made me second guess myself.
So I just want to make sure before I give them the hee-haw.
Okay.
All right, we'll take some more calls when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarion, Charlemagne the Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
If you're just joining us, Charlemagne tried to give donkey today,
was a little confused this morning.
Yeah, I was all hell-bent on giving donkey of the day
to everybody who has a problem with Rudy Gobert missing game two
of the NBA Playoff Series versus the Denver with Rudy Gobert missing game two of the
NBA playoff series versus the Denver Nuggets.
So, you know, Draymond Green said something. Gilbert
Arena said something. Shannon Sharpenocho
Cinco were talking about it. Even though Shannon had the best
take to me, Shannon said that he would have been
there, but as soon as the baby comes, he'd have been out.
But yeah, just hearing all of those high-level
athletes say they wouldn't have missed
the game made me be like, well, damn, let me make sure.
So we decided to take it to Breakfast Club Court.
I cannot believe that he second-guessed himself
because them four gentlemen had their own takes.
Now let me ask you a question. It was game two.
What if it was game seven?
Game seven's a little different, but it's still not, though.
You still should put family over
basketball. But once again, like I said
last break, these guys
are so...
Their mindset is sacrifice.
That's all they know.
They get to the level they've gotten at as professional athletes.
They've had to sacrifice so much.
Remember LeBron was on his podcast with J.J. Redick, and he was like,
yo, in order to be super successful like we are, you've got to sacrifice everything.
Yes.
So they're willing to do that. But also, I think your sacrifice is stronger when you first get in the league.
Rudy's been in the league 10, 11 years.
12 years, right?
10 years.
So your sacrifice is not the same as much.
You realize, you start to realize what's more important.
Yeah.
And I think for Rudy, he's understanding that family's more important.
Yeah.
And it's his first baby.
Yeah.
Which is a feat to find in itself.
Yeah.
All that money you've been making for 10 years and you just getting caught?
Yo, shut up. up Shannon Oh my god
Yo this Champ
Champ what up Champ
Yo what's up
What's going on Champ
What's your thoughts
Shannon Shaw had a good point man
I'm gonna be there for the first
But then I'm leaving for the game
At the playoffs
Give it to the ringers
Here are real goofy
Everything he's so popular for
Is all some goofy shit
Definitely goofy
I agree
Yeah you know
He gonna say this
and then last time
he was making jokes
about the rapper dude
or, you know,
like anything he say
beyond some other shit
so he still ain't
paying attention to him.
But Shannon's all right, man.
Beat up for the first
and leave.
I was arguing
with my first one
when she came
and I really told her
I was gonna knock her out
if she wasn't in the hospital.
I went home,
smoked a joint,
came back in time for the birth. Hold on, you said you told your baby mama you was gonna to knock her out if she wasn't in the hospital. I went home, smoked a joint, came back in time for the birth.
Hold on.
You said you told your baby mama you was going to knock her out?
If she wasn't.
Yeah.
If she wasn't.
Yeah, I had to tell her that, man.
She said she wished my mama was dead so I wasn't born.
So I was like, damn, you wasn't in the hospital.
I knocked you out.
What?
You know, I went home, smoked a joint, had a drink, came back, made it for the birth of my first daughter.
I hope y'all not together anymore
Why did she tell you that though?
Why did she say to you?
That sounds toxic
Your baby's about to be born
I would knock your dumb ass out
If you wasn't pregnant in birth right now.
Well, you missed the first part.
The first part was the baby.
What did she say to you?
She told me she wished my mama wasn't born.
I mean, she wished my mama was dead
so I wouldn't have never been born.
Damn.
God, damn.
And then you went ahead and had the baby.
We was real talk.
I had to get up out of there.
Well, I'm glad you did,
but I respect your opinion on the topic.
Jesus. Hello, who's this? Good morning. It's there. Well, I'm glad you did, but I respect your opinion on the topic. Jesus.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning.
It's Leslie.
Hey, Leslie.
What's your thoughts, Leslie?
So I think that he did
the right thing.
As a mom who's had
intense births,
and you know,
you want to be there
for the first child.
But if it's game seven,
I'm going to need you
to go to the game, baby.
Like, bring home the ring,
get us to the next level. I need you to go to the game. like bring home the ring get us to the next level
I need you to go to the game but
I think that he was right for the most part
okay so those guys should get donkey
today and by the way I respect you but I'm telling you
that one woman really got me thinking
because of the maternal death rate
in this country especially amongst
black women I don't know if Rudy Corbett's mother
of his child is black or not I have no idea but just
the maternal death rate would have me
not missing the birth.
It just would. I just couldn't.
Because if something goes wrong, like I've met people
who have lost
their children's
mothers, their wives, you know,
in the process. I know people who that
have gone through. So, yeah, I couldn't
imagine, you know, getting that news
in the middle of a game. Yeah, she's know you're not black no okay but there's still a
maternal just okay I'm not sure she's Caucasian but I know she's not black
dr. whom I would have wanted you to mr. game I mean dr. what would wanted you to
miss the bird said again yes yes yes game. Yes, yes, yes.
All right, so who are you giving the donkey to, man?
I'm going to give him the hee-haw.
I think the hee-haw is warranted.
The hee-haw is warranted.
Everybody who's upset that Rudy missed a game to Draymond Green and Gilbert Arenas,
the hee-haw is warranted.
So give them the biggest hee-haw, Ray.
Okay.
All right, well, when you come back, we got Jess with the mess.
Yes, we do.
You know what?
That was actually in my mess, but I'm so glad that Gilbert and Raina's got Donkey.
So I'm going to leave him alone.
OK.
But can y'all believe that Netflix removed the booze that Kim K got?
Really?
And that bruise.
Can y'all believe it?
Yes, Kim K got power.
Yeah, she got a little power.
A little power.
All right, well, that little power went a long way because we ain't allowed to see the booze
anymore.
But I got the oven when we come back.
I'm going to replay the up the booze.
The booze is up the boy.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Come on.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ and B, Jess Hilarious.
I'm the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get to Jess with the news.
The news is real.
The news is real.
The lines, Jessica Robin Moore.
Jess don't do no lying.
She don't do no lying.
She don't do no lying.
She don't spare nobody.
Worldwide Jess, worldwide message.
On The Breakfast Club.
She's a coach of shit.
She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.
It's time to set it off.
All right, so real quick, real quick.
We know Kim K got power or whatever, right?
But remember when she had did Tom Brady's roast and they walked up and they booed her?
We got the audio from when they actually booed her.
Thank you so much, Kevin.
Well, thank you.
I know a lot of people make fun of your height.
Hey.
All right.
Yeah, that was bad.
That was bad.
They probably cut some of the booze for timing.
Right.
So that was on the live event, you know, because that roasting was live.
But now you can play it back.
They fixed it. This is the edited version.
Thank you so much, Kevin.
I know a lot of people make fun of
your height but what people don't know is you're also pretty mean which ain't nothing real boy
nothing right now although i was i was i was kind of felt kind of bad for her when he booed her
because it's like all right come on now like for what it's on brand huh it's on brand it's not what
you mean on brand she's like the anti-hero she's the villain in a lot of people's stories oh my god all that work that she be doing
and everything like i'll be looking at like what she really did that is so crazy why i mean i know
a lot of people what does the work she do got to do with anything plastic surgery ain't got nothing
to do with this oh my god that is so messed up either way i felt bad for her when she got booed
but now i'm like damn like, like, the boos,
that, they could have left that on Netflix.
Because she still did that joke.
She ain't run from it. Everything was good.
She waited, she gave a look like, alright,
chill out. So Jess, you on
Def Comedy Jam Netflix or some comedy
special, and a couple boos come,
and then they say, well Jess, we're going to edit it.
Oh, please don't leave it out, because you know,
internet never lies. It'll be a video of the real thing circulating.
And then they'll be coming at me for getting it taken out.
But you know what?
The thing is, a lot of people probably didn't see the live event.
So they're only going to see it on Netflix.
So when they see it, it never happened.
The internet has it, trust me.
And we just played it.
We just played it on the radio.
That's right.
Yes.
So I just wanted to touch on it.
Anyway, the cops cleared Jim Jones. So over the weekend. So I just wanted to touch on it. Anyway,
the cops cleared Jim Jones.
So over the weekend,
we didn't get to talk about this,
but Jim Jones got into an altercation
at a Florida airport.
And the video started
circulating of him
tossing an older white man
down escalator steps
with the airport security
stepping in shortly after.
At the time,
we didn't really have
much context or whatever
like about the fight.
But apparently, it started like like, on the plane.
So when the flight had landed, Jim had got up and got his stuff out, was trying to get his stuff out of the bin before the plane stopped moving.
Now, these are just two other passengers.
The first guy, he got up and poked him in the chest, like, hey, like, you can't be doing it.
So Jim was like, yo, chill.
And so the guy did apologize.
But then another guy started shouting from him, shouting at him from the seat like, you know, you can't be up and all that.
Like, really, really upset.
And so they started arguing.
And then when the plane stopped, they called authorities to come to the gate.
Jones just wanted to keep it moving.
Like, all right, whatever, whatever.
So he wanted to make no report or nothing.
So he's going to get his bags and stuff.
And the guys followed him.
And that's where we actually see how the fight happened.
The guy even flinched at him.
He ain't jump again.
So the guy flinched at him again or whatever.
And what I'm saying about was that the 94-year-old white man
who had to be hospitalized.
He was 94?
One of the guys was 94.
I guess he was on the bottom
of the escalator, right?
Yeah, yeah.
That's not the one
that was bothering Jim, though.
No.
Jim threw a guy down.
I saw the video.
Yeah.
It was a guy at the end,
at the bottom of the escalator steps.
He was about to get off
and he got ran over by the guy.
Yeah.
Jim threw the other guy at him,
basically, but not at him. It just hit him. Jim threw the other guy at him, basically,
but not at him.
It just hit him or whatever.
The other guy hit him.
So Jim said he was okay.
It's actually like bowling.
Yeah, right.
A big black object just knocking down all those white pins.
That's what it looked like.
That's what it looked like.
The police determined that Jim acted in self-defense
and asked him did he want to press charges.
And, of course, Jim declined.
But, yeah, he did.
We saw the video.
He got jumped.
Yep, yep, yep.
Now, would it have been snitching if Jim said, yes, I want to press charges on these two white individuals?
No.
That wouldn't have been.
That would have been great.
Probably not in the hood, but, yes, it would look great.
What?
I wouldn't be able to wait to press charges.
Who the hell worried about snitching at this big age? We grown
and we businessmen. You assault me
at the airport. A lot of men like to live by that code.
I'm about to lose my flight
privileges because y'all jump me at the airport.
And not only that, we
assumed that these individuals
were in first class with Jim, so they got a little bread.
You just gonna put your hands on me? No, they probably wasn't in first class.
I'm not assuming that at all. Why am I assuming
they was in first class? I'm jim was in first class because if they
could poke them but you're not at the plane right probably in first class we probably ran they
probably ran to the front of the plane well the reason i said that is because if they got enough
money to poke me in the first class now you hit me i'm hurt i'm injured you gotta call somebody
why are you touching my chest freaky ass man yes yes freaky ass boy. Why you touching my chest? You are so right.
Anyway.
Oh, and they wasn't even air marshals or attendants.
Like, nothing like that.
Like, they were just other regular passengers.
Like, what are you talking about?
I just, you know, the white privilege.
It be white privileges sometimes.
Man, that white privilege didn't work on that escalator.
No, it didn't.
That's right.
You ain't got no wings.
White privilege don't give you wings uh uh costanet won't be prosecuted over uh nyc riots sparked by a ps5 giveaway
i respect it and he shouldn't be i think he did an apology he had to pay over he had to pay like
thousands of dollars in damages but he shouldn't have been charged for that that was the one at
union square right when he was gonna give it and it was like thousands of kids out there yeah he was trying he was trying to do
the right thing he didn't do that on purpose now mind you he did need a permit right but even so
you know you're not responsible for all of these kids coming in while kai probably didn't even
know no yeah that was gonna happen he probably he probably was shocked at how how much of a crowd
turned out for him correct in that moment but like you said, he was trying to do something positive.
So I'm totally okay with that.
And that is just the message for the day.
Thank you, Jess.

oh you got a positive note.
I do have a positive note, man.
The positive note is simply this.
The greatest fear in the world is the opinions of others.
And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep.
You become a lion.
Okay?
Remember that.
Have a great day.
