because they were snug? No, that was a legacy. That was a sample. That was a sample size. And he sent you a small in pants and a large in hoodie. He did. And you still wore it proudly. It's a sample size.

Yes. Because it's for the same reason that you won't take that dress off. And the vendor was Sheen. It was too hard to take off. And your vendor was Sheen. So change the vendor. Salute to Sheen. What up, Sheen?

Oh, I didn't know. We went to the movies to go see it. They wanted the experience. So we went to the movies to go see it in the 3D version. Yes. Which was pretty good because I got a great nap because I went to the movie theater with the lounge seat.

Oh, I got a great nap. So you went to sleep. What did I? Dad, how'd you like the movie? Loved it. I don't have no idea what happened. That's the whole point. That's all those movies are for.

Yes, he has a new show on HBO called Gerard Carmichael's reality show us this morning. Comedian. Yes. He has a new show on HBO called Gerard Carmichael's reality show. You gave him donkey today last week too. I did give him donkey today last week because he was saying that he felt like Dave Chappelle's jokes were what? Anti-trans.

Yeah, anti-trans. I just feel like as a comedian you shouldn't do that because that same thing can happen to you. And less than 12 hours later it did because it's something he did on his reality show. It was on his ass, that's right. And also, Dr. Cornel West and Melina Abdullah. Yes, you know Dr. Cornel West is still running for president.

And Dr. Melina is his vice president of candidates. That's right. Yes. Yes, a woman. Yes. Alright, and then when we come back, we got front page news. We'll tell you about the WNBA last night. It was the draft. And your president, well, your ex-president, he was in court all day yesterday. We'll tell you about that as well. So don't move.

Jesus Christ. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, last night was the 2024 WNBA draft, right?

So, of course, I think we all knew Kaitlyn Clark was going number one. She went to the Indiana Fever. Yeah, she be teamed up with Aaliyah Boston, former South Carolina Gamecock Aaliyah Boston. Yep, Cameron Brink went to the Sparks. Camila Cardozo went to Chicago Sky. South Carolina all day. And also, which I thought was pretty dope, Angel Reese went to Chicago Sky as well. That's right.

So, her and Camila Cardoso will be forming that twin tower duo in Chicago. Camila will be at Center, Angel Reese will be at Power Forward. It's going to be exciting. Rekia Jackson went to the Sparks and J.C. Sheldon went to the Dallas Wings. You know another cool story?

Man, what's her name? Martin. Martin from Iowa. I can't remember her first name. The other girl that went to support, she said she went to support Caitlyn Clark. Yes, and ended up getting drafted. Didn't expect to hear her name. I didn't know why they said she was getting drafted. She's got some aces, yeah. Yes.

I've seen that story. Where's Caitlyn? She was in the stands. She was supposed to be in the stands. They said that she was supposed to be in the mezzanine. Just up there to support Caitlyn and ended up getting drafted. Drafted, that's dope. Well, we have Caitlyn Clark talking about it, right?

Or them announcing her? Yeah, I think the biggest thing is it's an organization that really cares about women's basketball. They want to do a first class. You know, obviously getting to play with Aaliyah, that lights your eyes up as a point guard. But, yeah, I think it's just exciting. They want to get back to their winning ways. Obviously, championship pedigree there and what Linda has done has been absolutely incredible. So I can't imagine a better place.

Obviously, it's the Midwest. Everybody knows it's going to be a hard ticket to get. So if you haven't got your tickets yet, you better get them now. I'm excited. Also, Camilla, when they asked Camilla about playing with Angel Reese, she pretty much said, who's going to get a rebound from us? Right. Who's going to get a rebound from us?

Right. All right, now today is the Western Conference play-in tournament. The Lakers take on the New Orleans. What's the new team? Pelicans. Pelicans. You know what's crazy about this, though? Think about it. The Lakers take on the New Orleans. What's the new team? Pelicans. You know what's crazy about this, though? Think about it. The Lakers are playing the Pelicans.

Both of them playing Sacramento. Both of them playing Sacramento. That's Steph Curry. Two of the greatest players we've ever seen are in the playing tournament. In the playing tournament. Not even in the playoffs. Not at all. All right.

Now, yesterday was day one for Donald Trump. Now, they were picking the jury. They haven't picked a jury. They say at times day one for Donald Trump. Now they were picking the jury. They haven't picked a jury. They say at times it seemed like Donald Trump was sleeping. And there's a recap of the trial. I was looking forward for years. All right. So they told me this was the recap. But this audio right here is pretty much they want Donald Trump to be there every day.

So Donald Trump cannot leave. He cannot go anywhere. He can't campaign. He has to be there four days a week. The only day they have off is Wednesday. So Donald Trump, he has to campaign in the hallway after the proceeding. So this is him saying, damn, my son has graduation. They won't even let me go to my son's graduation. I was looking forward for years to have graduation with his mother and father there. It looks like judges are going to allow him to escape the scam. It's a scam trial. In addition, as you know, next Thursday,

we're before the United States Supreme Court in a big hearing on immunity. And this is something that we've been waiting for a long time. And the judge, of course, is not going to allow us. He's a very conflicted judge. And he's not going to allow us to go to that because he thinks he's superior i guess to the supreme court so that was day one of the trial no juror was picked as of yet they saying that you know pretty much they can't find a juror that that

is doesn't know him yes doesn't follow him that hasn't heard of him that doesn't know what he's talking about america truly very difficult america truly does not have a system in place to have someone like Trump on trial. A former president of the United States of America, who's the front runner for the GOP right now. The truth is it's impossible for this trial to be fair on any level. Like what juror doesn't know him? What juror would not see this trial on the news, on social media? He's ran for president twice. So either way, you have voted for him or you voted against him. How is that fair?

If I don't like him, he's guilty. If I like him, he's not guilty. Nobody's going to be objective in this case. Nobody's going to be biased. We don't have a system to prosecute this man. Well, the thing is, his biggest thing is he's saying he can't campaign. He can't campaign and be president, but what's bigger than him? This is campaigning.

What's bigger than him going in the hall every day and talking about the case, ishing on the judge and ishing on everybody else media all day every day every news outlet is covering it you're not telling us anything that president biden is doing and if you do it's like you know in the fine fine fine fine print that's why i said he spent all day talking to us about how how bad trump is and you know how terrible trump is he sucks up all of the energy out of the news cycle. You don't even hear about what the other candidate is doing. This is a great campaign for Donald Trump.

But I do wonder if somebody else under trial, would they have let him go to their kid's graduation? If they would have let him leave and get an excuse for that day for his kid's high school graduation. I have no idea. I'm looking at the front page of the New York Times. Who on the cover? Donald Trump. I'm looking at the front page of the New York Daily News.

Who on the cover? Donald Trump. That's what I'm saying. What is the president doing? Right. You spend so much time telling us about how terrible Trump is and not enough time telling us the good things that Biden is doing. And then you wonder what's going to lead people to the polls in November.

Simply the person they see every day. Right. And people are watching him in court because they're watching him to see if he's sleeping. They're watching him to see if he's going to break out and say anything because they said yesterday he was sleeping. And y'all still haven't factored in the voter suppression that's going to happen in November. Democrats' only defense against voter suppression

is we need the largest voter turnout in the history of America. You're not getting that this year. It's not happening. That is front page news. Now everybody get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051.

Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?

Hey, good morning. This is Sean calling from Utah. Sean from Utah. Get it off your chest. Hey, I just relocated out of here. Maroonly from Brooklyn. Much love to you. Charlamagne Tha God.

Jess Alaris. Real quick. Donald Trump's an idiot, man. The judge never made any type of comment regarding his son's graduation. He's out there playing the victim. Yeah, and it works. Nah, he didn't say anything about the graduation. He said that Donald Trump is required to be there four days a week,

and they only have Wednesday off, and they won't let him leave. Right, but Trump said that, oh, the judge is not going to allow him to go to his son's graduation. The judge never made a ruling on that. Oh, so Donald Trump is just assuming, being that the judge told him he got to be there every day. Right. Again, like I said, playing the victim. Yeah, I'm watching. Yeah, Judge Merkin actually said it may be possible for Trump to attend the May 17th celebration,

but he got to see how the trial develops. That's actually what the judge said. Hello, who's this? This is Gene from show. What's up, brother? Get off your chest. 843, what's happening? What's going on?

I got a question. Everybody worried about Donald Trump and his trial. But how he going on trial and running for president at the same time? Because that's the way America's set up. I'm telling you, America never thought that it would have this kind of problem. So there's no system in place to even deal with somebody like a Donald Trump. Yeah, because we can't even get jobs. Well, run for president.

If you run for president, you can do that. That's crazy, man. Go ahead and start the low country ticket, the shrimp and grits ticket. Yeah, you're right. All right. Hello, who's this's this yo what's up lamb what up lamb amen amen get it off your chest bro it's always hard to find the number bro the number to call in the morning dog 1-800-585-1051 800-585-1051.

What's some jeans they wear down there? What's some jeans they wear down there? I don't know. Away from down there. What are you talking about? All right.

Whatever. In other news, Loyati allegedly referenced track surfaces for drake song already everyone already knew he co-wrote all right so look they was basically saying that trying to expose drake for him being acting like he is somebody that he not i mean i really don't feel like there's anything wrong with ghostwriters even for the best artists out there i guess it's the rapper thing a guy thing whatever it it doesn't really matter but it was leaked that loyati actually is one of the writers on the song it's called jumbotron s popping uh her loss

something like that this is the original reference number four Okay, didn't understand that one. And this is Drake's. and everybody was saying that it was like supposedly a secret like they leaked the writer but it's it's in the credits it's not really that much of a secret. Although it is Loyati's real name, M. McCollum. His name is Miles McCollum. And people keep leaking, you know, the Drake reference tracks. Don't nobody care, yo. Yeah, honestly. I know, I get it.

I get what y'all trying to do. Yeah. But this generation simply does not care. And Drake has never beaten the ghostwriting allegations because, you know, that's just something that they're going to always put on him. He's too successful. When you're that successful, they're going to have to have something over you. And that's just something that they're going to always put on him. He's too successful. When you're that successful, they're going to have to

have something over you and that's one thing folks are going to always say about him. Well, you know he don't write, though. You know he don't write. Why does it matter? You know what I'm saying?

Like I said to me, you know, why does it matter? But, you know, I guess, too. But who does it matter to more? You think OGs or like you said, you said it don't matter to this generation. OG rappers.

OG rappers. OG rappers. And rappers. And rappers. I think not just OG rappers. I think rappers. This new generation don't care. I think when rappers and rappers and rappers i think not just og rappers i think rappers new generation don't care i think when they go into this battle when you're talking kendrick and you're talking j cole and you're talking ross and you're talking them i mean it's it is what it is push your t yeah they want to see but those are og rappers big uh

ross is 48 push your t is 40 plus j cole kendrick they're not they're different though but i don't even think they really care like that j cole i, Kendrick will probably use it in a record, but Cole clearly don't care because he still do records with Drake. I think that's the only quote-unquote stain when it comes to Drake, when they talk about the reference vocals and people write for him. He's never said anything about it, never talked about it, never said, I use this line, or we collaborated together. That's the only stain when it comes to Drake. Other than that, the boy flawless. Yeah, but that's a big stain, what you're talking about. how much does he write though I mean he could and that's the thing that's what I'm saying he writes right of course yeah he writes yeah so how much does he write

and it had me thinking yesterday right would you want more rappers to do that because think about how long Drake's run has been think about how long some of your favorite rappers run could have been if they probably would have gotten that type of assistance in the studio yeah think about it this guy's been at a certain peak for 10 plus years yeah people's runs be very very very short maybe they need to get in the studio like these r&b singers do and these pop singers do right and collaborate with people yeah maybe but wayne let's talk about wayne wayne had a long run when he wrote has that ever been proven that he had writers or he's he's i mean always written for himself right well gilly said that he he wrote for wayne oh okay yeah yeah you know i mean so why you say it like that i was just i don't know but gilly

said he wrote for wayne and and he said that you know wayne allegedly had ghost riders but okay i'm just always wondering like did somebody write it was oh we were in the studio collaborating like oh this line of sound so that's why I said that stain is what you know what we would want to know but and it does keep them out of certain

conversations right because I need to know if these raps ain't yours I can't put you in these these top MC categories yeah I can't put you up here with the hoes and the

Jadakiss's and the Scarface's but then you look at somebody like Hov which is my favorite rapper and you know he uses Biggie lyrics sometimes in a lot of his songs not the same The Jadakisses and the Scarfaces. But then you look at somebody like Hov, which is my favorite rapper, and he uses Biggie lyrics sometimes in a lot of his songs. That's not the same. Cut it out.

But he's using somebody else's lyrics. Just using a... It's using somebody else's lyrics, though. You know it's not the same. It's using somebody else's lyrics. How about somebody write you a whole verse as opposed to using a line of inspiration? But that's what I'm saying. Do we know if somebody's writing a whole verse? If it's broken down like that.

Because also on the Jumbotron as Pop and whatever that loyality is a writer on is listed with like six or seven other writers so we don't know who wrote what or whatever you know i mean i don't know production and samples and all types of stuff too yeah but that's under writers yeah well either way casanet reacts to tricking allegations and gets incredibly petty in the process so that's why i said casanet pulled a michael jackson right so over the weekend he had some allegations this girl posted a photo online right saying that she slept with kai a few years ago and then she posted a screenshot of some messages where kai allegedly sent her five thousand dollars so kai was like i didn't i didn't send her that he denied it and he showed his apple pay history and it was shown that that he didn't send a girl 5k the

proof was allegedly from somebody no the alleged proof was from somebody else but she just said Ka did it now Ka took things further by purchasing her domain that what her name she got the OnlyFans her name is Layla Redd and he was talking about it So Layla I have bought your domain It means every time somebody types in Kiara Rush Anytime somebody types in Layla red the first website that they will click on is all the lies You've told me all the crimes you've done or the dumps you just put yourself in to fuck up your life

So no your OS link won't pop up first No Pornhub or anything like that won't pop up first. No, no, no, no, no. No, Pornhub or anything like that won't pop up first. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. The top link will be Keanu Rush, okay? Showing everything that you've done, okay? And you made a mistake with me. Y'all best not play with these influences. I know how much...

I like that type of pedicure. I love that. And for him to be so young and to think to do something like that, it's commendable. I love it. I would have told the young man, don't ever mention the young lady's name. Because he gave that woman more publicity and promotion than she ever would have gotten.

But he making so much money every time somebody search who she is. He making so much money. Over a 5K lie that she lied about. A clown. What? How do they make money when that happens? I'm asking. I don't know.

I don't know. We got to call Kyle. But he's definitely going to make a lot of money. I don't know if he's making money. But he's stopping her from money his whole life is content so the more he talks about it the more he screams and yells like that the more people follow him and the more money he makes he don't care this is another story what do I always say when the dog barks at the moon it's nothing when the moon barks back at the dog it's news I wouldn't have not known this young lady I would have known this situation happened if Kyle hadn't talked about it. But the dog is only barking for two days because tomorrow will be something else to talk about. This is just content for the brother. And stop saying that because I stole that quote from you and I said it one day and somebody was like, oh, you a genius for that. And you just keep saying it. It's an old quote.

It's older than Levi Jean. Well, obviously, that person didn't know that. They thought that I made it up. So shut up. All right. Sorry, y'all. All right. That is just with the mess.

All right. When we come back, we got front page news. We'll give you the details. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Jess and Larry, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Jesus Christ. Last night was the WNBA draft So we gotta salute Caitlyn Clark She was number one Cameron Brink

Brink was number two Camila Cardoza was number three Rekia Jackson was four J.C. Sheldon was five And Angel Reese was number seven I am looking forward to that Angel Reese, Camila Cardoso team up in Chicago, Twin

Towers, Camila playing center, Angel Reese playing power forward, Kaitlyn Clark, Leah Boston in Indiana. That's going to be exciting as well. That's right. It's going to be some fun in the WNBA. I think they're going to change the WNBA a lot. And salute to the young lady, Kate Martin, from Iowa, man. That was a very cool moment. She went there,

she was there with her teammates just to support Caitlin Clark, and ended up getting drafted by the Las Vegas Aces. That's dope. The defending world champion Las Vegas Aces. Rudy Giuliani, now he loses bid to dismiss his $148 million defamation lawsuit. If you don't know, a mother and daughter were accused by Giuliani of committing

election fraud. A U.S. district judge has denied Rudy Giuliani's motion to appeal his defamation case and the 148 million dollars in damage that he must pay to two former Georgia election workers. The judge issued that order earlier today in the nation's capital. Back in December, you'll remember, a jury awarded that settlement to Shea Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman. The two women said they received a barrage of racist and graphic threats after they became the targets of a false conspiracy pushed by Giuliani and other Trump allies. But Giuliani

has maintained he did nothing wrong. And in a video posted on social media, Giuliani said he would keep speaking out if it meant losing all his money or ending up in jail. Yeah, so he's going to have to figure out how to pay that $148 million defamation judgment against those two women. And that is front page news. All right. Now, when we come back, Gerard Carmichael will be joining us. Man, fresh off a donkey of the day. I love when somebody gets donkey of the day and then they come in here to have a conversation about it.

Yes, Gerard Carmichael has a reality show called Gerard Carmichael's Reality Show on HBO. All right, and we'll get to that next. You've seen it. You've probably seen the trailer. He has some toes in his mouth. He was sucking some toes on the trailer in the first couple episodes, too. His random toes? Actually, yes.

He was getting these guys off-grind. We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. We have Gerard Carmichael. Welcome. I be doing your voice in the shower. Morning, everybody. It have Gerard. Call Michael. Welcome. I be doing your voice in the shower. Morning, everybody. It's DJ. Gerard thinks about you when he's naked.

Yeah. Yeah, you know what? Let's lean into all the gay shit. Sometimes when I'm naked, I think about DJ. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Happy to see you, Gerard. Happy to see you, bro. I'm always happy when people come right after Donkia today. show oh my god let me tell you something i was responding to you like monique

like i was in my house just pacing around just being like leonard what would your mother say about giving me no let's talk about that so there's a couple things i want to make clear about that so um charlamagne gave you donkey today you gave me donkey for what charlamagne you reported on uh uh you you played a clip of my stand-up but it started at the punch line and it it like completely erased the setup of it and i really don't like that um it made it seem like i was talking like i'm into some type of race sexual slavery role play with my boyfriend which is untrue it's so false and i into some type of race, sexual slavery role play with my boyfriend, which is untrue. It's so false. And I expect that type of thing from TMZ because they have no humanity.

They don't care about the people that get hurt when they report these sort of things. But you're a friend. So I really didn't like that. Like I know you repeated it in the Neil interview. I didn't like that. That was very, very unfair. It was a joke. I only saw that clip though.

But yeah, but I need you to watch the show. And anybody watches the show it's not what i said yeah it's so false it's so untrue and i don't like that because it's like no no well we'll get into that later uh it's a joke about reading it has nothing to do with my boyfriend it has nothing uh like the sex that we have has nothing to do with sex it's something like people have been reporting on and i really really don't like it it's about my boyfriend reading so much he makes me feel insecure about my level of reading and look i get it it like it's something that people have been running with because one because i have a white boyfriend so like people like try and create some type of crazy story out of that like and it's a small group of people really like i read all the tweets and it's like some gay black men and some klu klux klan members who don't like that i have a white boyfriend they

agree on that so congratulations like the clan and dr umar and some people find some common ground on that but he's a human being he deserves respect i deserve respect i don't appreciate things being misreported or like said about them in that way. It's completely false. So I don't like that. I just want to make that clear. That's that's not something I know you were just reading the news, but like you're a friend and I want you to like actually have nuance with these stories like people can get hurt.

They're actually real lives at stake with the things that you say. And look, come after me. That's fine. But don't come after like my my boyfriend who is i think we came at your boyfriend though we know well i'm saying when that's in the headline and that's reported like and then misreported like oh he's into race slave play with his white boyfriend i i don't like that headline because it's false is not true at all now on to dave chappelle no i'm gonna stick to the joke though in context the joke's still not

a good joke that's on you i been on the professional community for a while. Because you're still saying you're a slave. He's a slave master. And the slave master's teaching the slave to read. You know, listen. I'm talking about my own personal insecurity. I'm an educated person. I'm usually the smartest person in the room.

He reads so much, it makes me feel like, oh, do I even know how to read? That joke works if I had a black boyfriend. My boyfriend were black. That joke actually works better if I had a black boy and you the slave and the white person is the slave listen if you are and you're from north carolina where you know the first anti-literacy laws were created in north and south carolina sure sure sure but that's not my role as a comedian to start getting into like like literacy laws and stuff like that you've completely lost it i evoke provocative imagery sometimes in my jokes some people are

very sensitive to that that's your right you don't have to laugh at that you could like hear the word slavery and completely shut off that's completely fine but don't misconstrue what i said and don't like make it into something that it's not because that's where i start to get offended i don't think we made it no no that like, oh, you, you said it like multiple times on the show. Like, oh, he's into slave role play with his white boyfriend. That's untrue. I don't know if I said it like that. You said it, Charlemagne.

That is not the joke. The joke's about me reading. The joke's about my insecurity about like not being as well read. When I be in bed next to him and he's on his third. I get what you're saying. The joke is about, okay, I get it. When I'm in bed next to him and he's like on third... I get what you're saying. The joke is about... Okay, I get it. When I'm in bed next to him and he's on his third novel of the month, I be watching Breakfast Club interviews and I feel like, oh, I should read more.

That's what the joke is. The joke has nothing to do with sex, has nothing to do with the type of sex that we have, and that's just absolutely false. But still not a good joke when you're black and... Hey, listen, that's on you. That's on you. You do stand up and you figure it out. For the crowds laugh whatever i'll say this about if the crowd is majority white are they laughing with you or at you you know it's fine i'm actually i'm actually

shocked it's like a pretty decent amount of black people coming out to see me i really appreciate y'all for coming out i want y'all to keep coming out too i like i i like the the seeing it really especially black women are in the crowd. They've been talking to me. They seem invested in my life, and it makes me feel really, really special. So I really like that, and I appreciate that. Now, I want to move on to the Dave Chappelle portion of it because I've heard you comment on that too. I deeply regret ever saying anything about Dave Chappelle to the press.

I want to say that I'm sorry for that because one i'm a huge dave chapelle dave chapelle fan i love dave like i i think he's brilliant i think he's a bright light in a dying industry i think he's more important now than ever before because like comedians are now just posting clips of them doing crowd work online and calling it art and it's not art dave chapelle is an artist he's one of the hey guys i'm Kate Max.

When I smoke weed, I get lost in the music. I like to isolate each instrument. The rhythmic bass, the harmonies on the piano, the sticky melody. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Careful, Hey. Hey. Hey.

Careful, babe. There's someone crossing the street. Sorry, I didn't see him there. If you feel different, you drive different. Don't drive high.

It's dangerous and illegal everywhere. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council. Hey, I'm Jack B.

A few artists that we have, and I care deeply about the work that he makes. With that said, the criticism that I had had nothing to do with the morality of the joke, had nothing to do with the ethics of the joke. That's something that has also been misreported.

The criticism I had was that of a fan, someone who respects him so much that I want him to focus his genius on a wide range of topics. I think that like it started, but it started being really, really focused on one thing. I disagree. Well, I'll say this, look. That's like us saying that

about the slave job. I'll say this. I'm also a big fan of Jay-Z. If Jay-Z made three albums about trans people, I'd be like, hey, what's going on with Jay?

But Jay-Z made three albums, more than three albums about selling drugs. You don't label, you just don't put him in that, you don't pigeonhole him with that. No, Jay-Z, I mean, listen, i would love to get to a jay-z argument jay-z was very personal very emotional he always evolved 444 was incredible because it showed growth and evolution and something you've never seen before in rap and

that's a thing with comedy too comedy doesn't grow comedy doesn't evolve it's it's kind of stunted like rap and like we just start getting like real braggadocious like antagonistic with the crowd and it can evolve like and we need smart people like dave like chris rock like myself to actually evolve the art form because it is dying it's so so important for people to go up and do deep personal stories or have a deep perspective about things going on in the world because it's not happening. You see it online.

Yeah, I know. All I'm saying is, because I've talked about Dave a lot, I don't want to talk about Dave anymore. Honestly, I called him an egomaniac. I'm an egomaniac. I'm here to talk about me. I have a show that I want to talk about. Have you spoken to him personally? Have you spoken to him on the phone? Yeah, yeah.

I know Dave. And you know what? And I'll tell you honestly, from now on, any thoughts I have for Dave will be directed in a phone call to Dave. I'll never do it again. I'll never. I do apologize for that.

Because you see. I'm man enough to say that. That is wrong. I don't need it. I don't want the attention. It's gone on way too long. Don't want it at all I'm here to talk about me I want to talk about myself Charlamagne he said he was upset because

he considered you guys friends and that you went off the rail without having a conversation did you watch the show did you I texted you last night did you watch the show you've been watching it did you watch the next episode no I watched the first three oh man you're gonna love the next episode so respond to what he said because, you know, he considered you guys friends. That is my friend. I said it. I said I love you. But he felt like he loved the real. Now, Envy,

I want you to apologize but if you feel a way, I think that Charlamagne, you should apologize to him as well. I don't feel like I want to apologize. Whoa. That's not a diss.

Whoa. Don't you like... I'm taking my f***ing candle back. You're a sincere person. I'm joking. Would you want me to give you one of these half-ass

bulls*** industry but I don't feel like I need to apologize. I think I made myself person. I'm joking. Would you want me to give you one of these half-ass bullshits in the screen? But I don't feel like I need to apologize. I think I made myself clear. I have no need for an apology. If it hits me one day, I'm like, you know what? That was wrong. But in the moment, I'm like, what? All right, well, I'll wait for that when I'm in the shower thinking about DJ Envy.

I know that's right. All right, we got more with comedian Jerron Carmichael when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with comedian gerard carmichael now you also talk about black women

being super supportive when you first came out but also being mad at you at the same time oh because i got a white boyfriend yeah you know it's it's funny they they met my boyfriend they love him like my boyfriend my boyfriend is actually so real. That's part of the reason any lie about him makes me upset. Because he's so real. My homegirl Avery loves Mike. Mike doesn't engage in small talk. That's a thing that I actually am trying to learn.

That's my next book. Why Small Talk Sucks. There we go. You got to meet my boyfriend. He doesn't do it at all. If you talk to him about the weather, he'll just be quiet. And I'm trying to learn that. I'd be out in the world just lying to people.

Just like, oh, no, good shirt. I'd have a lot of good shirt conversations. I got to stop doing that. I don't like that. How does he feel when you talk about your life on a reality show? How does he feel when you talk about your sex capades or even your conversation with Tyler, the creator? Does it make him feel funny? Do you have conversation before?

Yeah, he knows all of it. I mean, it's funny because I started shooting the reality show and then our relationship began. So he like he came in at a time when I'm dealing with a lot of things. And the show is just about me, like me trying to explore all these deep things about myself and being in therapy, trying to work through problems like I'm exposing. It's the most vulnerable show of all time. Yeah. Are you like you've never seen a show more vulnerable? Did he make you more comfortable with that?

He makes me more comfortable in life. I think I'm a better person because my boyfriend, I feel so much calmer now. Like I'm a person that had a lot of anxiety. And you could see it. Even in the first episode, you could see it's me trying to get all my anxiety out. I think that's why the audience feels that way. They feel a little awkward because that's how I felt. I think it transmutes into the art form. I was somebody that was just constantly scared, constantly nervous, afraid of how I would be perceived afraid of like you know like coming

in masculine environments as a gay man like just terrified all the time afraid of the kind of sex i was having i was i was thinking about that because people have been talking about uh like i put like a foot in my mouth in the in the first episode you know and i want to i also want to set the record straight he was guatemalan people say his white toes. He was Guatemalan. Maybe that doesn't matter to some people. But it's like our toes are tall. I've had some black feet in my mouth, too. I was afraid of the type of sex I was having.

I thought it was dirty and so wrong. And people, gay, straight, whatever, have a lot of sexual shame. They're afraid of things. So I was doing things on camera to liberate myself. It was important for me to eradicate that shame. I put a foot in my mouth for y'all a lot of people don't think you're really gay though and they think that you just put the foot in your mouth to kind of prove that you gay and they were like if he was really gay you f***ed the d*** on camera I mean you know OnlyFans coming soon I guess

There's a lot of silly things there are people who get that news from twitter they're crazy where did you meet your boyfriend from what did y'all mean how did you met through a mutual friend we met years ago in la and then and and we started dating it's been a year and a half now so i wanted to ask you about you and tyler because y'all are actually really friends yeah right yeah was that like for fun or did you really really have romantic feelings for tyler yeah i did i was in turmoil over that for a year and that's a hard thing to deal with of course it's like i've seen people online talk about as awkward as cringe yeah yeah having feelings for your best friend is very awkward very very cringe i'm thankful that he did it because i've never seen

a conversation like that played out on television or in any space. And I thought it was really, really important. I've never seen a black man express feelings for another black man like that ever before. And I'm trying to make art that I wish I'd seen as a kid. I'm trying to make things and put things out there that I needed. And so it was really important. I thought it was a really important conversation. I'm so thankful to Tyler for doing it.

Yeah. Did his response hurt you? Because when he said he called you a stupid bitch, y'all laughed at him. Like, he laughed about it. Did that really hurt your feelings? Yeah. Or it's just like, oh.

Because I, listen. Getting called a stupid bitch. Yeah, but that's your best friend. He called me a stupid bitch. I know, but I called my best friend a stupid bitch all the time. Yeah, I know. So I'm thinking that it was just like okay they're best friends they cool but it really did hurt did you see what he said

at Coachella yeah I was watching it I stayed up late for that too I made a sandwich I was up at 3 in the morning so I thought it was funny how did you feel about that like you stayed up late to watch Tyler I was on FaceTime with him oh okay yeah he's emotionally evolved I'm the one that's trying to

catch up he's great he said you trying to catch up. He's great. He's one of the... He said you trying to... I bet y'all saw my best friend trying to f*** me on camera. Yeah, I thought it was funny. I was about to say, yeah, that was funny.

What's your relationship now? Y'all cool after the conversation? Do y'all speak up? Yeah, we cool. I mean, he's making jokes about it. We cool. He seems like a troll. Yeah, he cool.

I mean, we moved on. I have definitely moved on. It was a very, very tough moment in my life and i i have nothing but gratitude for him for doing that on camera on camera as well right but it was hard off camera that was a difficult thing to deal with off camera like the whole year because that's your best friend yeah yeah yeah i was i was on uh music soul child have crazy mode for a year man why not reach out to him during that year? He called me a stupid b****, Charlamagne, did you watch the show?

He was like, hold on. Thank you, Jeff. If that's your friend, somebody you love and care for, what I was thinking was like, well, why would he let a whole year go by? Why would either one of them let a whole year go by? That's the thing. It's very easy for things to just fall back into the elephant in the room.

Like, oh, okay, we're not going to talk about it we just go to breakfast like i have that same relationship with my parents where it's like oh there are things that we don't really want to talk about so we don't and we engage in small talk okay we talk about everything else and and and that's what the show was the show was an excuse to have a difficult conversation that i'd otherwise be afraid to have how did your mom how do you think black women in general will feel about you referring to your mother as a oh man that's been oh the family been the family been having they got a group chat without me talking about that wild drug you know it's funny that that i i actually didn't consider that like when i said

it and maybe that's me being inconsiderate. And maybe there is some latent hurt that is coming out when I say that. I actually wasn't saying that. I love my mother. I have a deep respect for my mother. I say it kind of casually, kind of gay, just on stage. You said it like it's not your mom.

I say it just nonchalantly. I call people bitches and niggas all the time. Your mom's not your mother. You can call your dad a nigga. Your mom? Not your mother? You know, listen. You can call your dad a nigga. You can even call your dad a nigga with your mom. But you ain't going to get mad at Tyler for a year because he said stupid bitch. Exactly.

Well, it was the dismissal of the emotion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no. It wasn't just that. It was that. That was all he said. Gotcha. But no, with my mom, no, that's something that we talked about.

I would rather focus on the emotion behind it. It's like it's easy to get hung up on. I actually get really, really angry with my family when they start talking about, like, you know, my dad calls. I don't like that you call your mom a bitch. I'm like, that's the worst thing we've done to my mother. I think as a family, we've done worse. So more so, why did you call her a bitch? Why am I hurt?

What's the cause of the hurt like you know like i feel rejected by my creator that's a difficult thing to live with like you know i'm not the only person is living with like some issues with their parents with their mom or you just you don't see eye to eye and it makes you feel bad about yourself that's how i feel and that's a really really hard thing to live with and and i'm trying to make art and trying to make sense of all of it but it's really tough all right we'll keep it locked we have more with comedian gerard carl michael when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj

nv just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club gerard carl michael still here charlamagne what would you say to people who would say your mom is homophobic but when i look at it i say no she's very religious so i think when I look at it, I say, no, she's very religious. I think she's looking at it through the lens of religion. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that at some point you have to think about how you got to the place that you are. I had a really good conversation with my mom about even her finding religion and needing religion, religion about the hurt the the disappointment in her life from her dad and from other people in her life that led her to needing god as much as she does and depending on god as much she does and we were having a really really good conversation then my dad woke up and interrupted yeah yeah but you know like it you have to explore your life you got to explore the reasons why

because you can hurt people like i know like people call it faith whatever but they're human beings and like your opinion my mother's opinion of me matters so much what made you want to do it now well because after i came out i realized that there are other things i needed to come out about i i think everybody's in the closet about something and And I was in a closet. It was more than just being gay. It was about the feelings that I have. I was in a closet about sex addiction or how I am as a friend or all these things.

Just like I was a closeted person. I was holding everything inside. And the show was an outlet for me. I'm an artist. And I use art as a means of expression and as a means to heal and so i the show just felt like a natural i was doing all these shows i was doing stand-up and stand-up started being kind of a form of therapy it was like a free associative therapy that i would just go up and i would talk about a problem that i have a deep personal problem that i have

the response from the audience started being better. That's what I mean. Like, people come to the shows, they're like, like, the heckles that I get as a comedian are so thoughtful. Like, no comedian gets, like, the thought, like, people turn into therapists in the crowd. Are those real? Your audience? Yeah. I'm not, I watched that yesterday, and I was like, those heckles aren't real. That's part of the show.

The audience is, no, no. Like, people are smart. I believe that. I believe that. Like, Twitter isn't just the the that's not what the world is like i've been on there eight years i hate it yeah listen sometimes i search your name to make me feel better about myself no that's right what they said about charlamagne up there no but the heckles that i get are thoughtful responses because you open yourself up and

people open themselves up like They respond in kind. I'm glad you're a good friend to your friends who are expressing themselves to you. How did you deal with the sex addiction? I'm still... He's dealing with it still.

He's trying to figure it out. I'm going to get my candle. On the show, it showed you. You'd just be on Grindr before your boyfriend. You was on Grindr just getting it in cause that was old

that was that had to be before your boyfriend yeah before my boyfriend and you know like yeah sex is better be

sex is something else man you gotta keep watching the show I had a good explanation though you said because you waited so long to come out yeah

so now you feel like a 17 year old kid yeah yeah making up making up for lost time like just like yeah they're they're they are like my emotional maturity level was a bit delayed that's it's a little embarrassing to admit but true but even that i i do think there are certain aspects of my personality that i inherit from my father i've been reading about that a lot. Just like being, you know,

you learn how to be a man from your dad. And I learned, he gonna get mad because he gonna watch this. He's like, oh, he's throwing me under the bus. But it's just true. Like, it's something you learn in therapy. Like, oh, this is how you model yourself as a man. And so, yeah, I look to sex as a form of validation

for my manlyhood, like, to make me feel like a man. Yeah. What is this show doing for you that therapy can't been using it as a form of therapy? Because therapy is exploring yourself and exploring your past. But it's not necessarily confrontation. I still needed a tool to be confident enough to have a conversation with my dad that I'd be terrified having. Otherwise, like, you know, if I'm home in North Carolina, I'm just like, you know, smiling, being a good son, confident enough to have a conversation with my dad that i'd be terrified having otherwise like you know if i'm home in north carolina i'm just like you know smiling being a good son being the son that they want me to be and i'm not saying the real things asking the real questions when

the camera's on i become like a journalist for my own life like no no what's that you said 98 you know i get real real like but like, but without the cameras, I'm afraid. You do show how much of a friend you are, too. Yeah, no, no. When you did Pool was foul. I know, I know. Can I tell you? You can't be a best man in a wedding and show up an hour late to the wedding.

It's not your wedding. And then compare it to jury duty. Why? You know, look, weddings are hard because I'm a performer. And so I look at weddings as a show like all right what is this show that we're going to like but but i i love poo and you know i actually got a head we've been talking a lot i hope that you like the episode like he's a very sweet thoughtful friend and inspired me so much and so i know i was a bad friend again it's hard exposed like this show

i'm like the villain of my own show. I'm Eric Cain of my own show. Like I'm like people are like, because I'm exposing myself in a real way. Like some of the worst parts of myself, I'm putting out there unedited, just like letting the world see and judge and criticize. But I feel bad for that. Like I felt bad in the episode. It's something I'm deeply apologetic for. I'm learning.

I'm still growing. I'm learning to not be as selfish. Sure, that's a means of self-protection. I'm selfish because I'm scared, and I'm learning to not be as afraid. Another thing you say on the show is being honest is cool until you have a reason to lie. Yeah. You say it's hard to tell the truth to people you love. Yeah.

Do you not feel that way? Do you not feel that way sometimes? Yeah, because the consequences are so high to hurt them the stakes the stakes are so high i say that to my mom i'm like like sometimes i'll talk to my mom i'm like hey be careful what you say to me because i'll remember it for the rest of my life every word that she says it's so piercing yeah yeah absolutely is rod is rod call michael an industry plant am i an industry plant industry plant well i mean listen i i wish the Illuminati was real. I wish that I could be a plant.

I'd sign up in a heartbeat. No, I actually, unfortunately, I had to work hard to get where I am. I had to, like, think and expose. I'm exposed to so much of my life. I've worked very, very hard to get where I am. But, yeah, if I could have f***ed it, f***ed it to the top, I would f*** it. That's why they don't want you. Because you want to do it.

Nah, I'm joking. I'm saying that as a joke. I'm saying that as a joke. I thought because Lil Rel was defending you on Club Shady. You know the funny thing too? If I may, now I sound like a rapper, but a lot of these comedians who criticize me is like, no, no, no. Before I came out, coming out was the hardest

thing I ever did in my life. I was afraid i also i had multiple specials i had a sitcom on nbc that ran for three seasons i had i was fake i was getting other people's shows like i was i was more successful than them straight so then to pretend that like oh like he came out like that's silly that's silly i don't even entertain that i want to ask because you just mentioned something you said that you had all of this great stuff going on before you came out. Yeah. So do you feel like coming out as gay is taking away the focus on everything you've done in your career? No, not at all. Carmichael Show still exists.

Stream it on Hulu. When I Google you, what's it going to come up to? The same way you said if you Google Dave, it's all transgender stuff. Things I talk about. Watch the show. I hope people watch the show. If you see the show, you'll see truth you know i'm confident in that like you know i think this like up top i was just upset because something untrue was said i'll say enough

true things to talk about like so i don't need any lies i don't need any of that but yeah i i'm i'm making art about my life and and i'm really proud of it i hope people watch the show i think the show's funny yes yeah and charlamagne called you of funny haha funny y'all like man y'all so straight y'all are so so straight is this haha funny is this paul's funny like jesus christ you're so straight congratulations oh my god everybody clap for the straight man.

Rudy Gobert. I'm really, really killing this. So for those who don't know, he's a basketball player. He plays for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He wrote an essay for the Players' Tribune about experience and racism from close family members. So for some backstory, his mother, who was white,

met his father, who was black, while he was playing professional basketball in France. His dad returned to the Caribbean when Rudy was only two years old. He talked about a conversation between his mother and certain family members who didn't welcome Rudy because he was black. So he couldn't go to certain family gatherings around the holidays and stuff like that, like the big Christmas dinner at a certain family member's house. They told his mother, we don't want that baby in our house, like around our family or anything like that. Yeah.

He said that his mom was devastated and the two of them just ended up spending holidays together. Rudy says it was a painful memory, but one that he needed to share. And he also says that from that moment on, his mother became his protector and provider and motivation I love that that's such an interesting story absolutely now he's making 205 million dollars for five years

and everybody loves Rudy where is Rudy why isn't Rudy coming for the holidays I'm sure it changed up Rudy sit down let me fix your plate Rudy I'm sure it changed up

look at that little biracial man ain't that crazy when he was a biracial baby they didn't like him. Yeah, yeah. Now you're biracial millionaire. He's just a broke little baby.

That's right. Now he's a rich grown man. Why do people give biracial kids or biracial adults such a hard time, right? You tell us. I'm not biracial. I'm always black. I'm not biracial. First of all, stop.

I'm more black. That's crazy. How about you tell us about you? I can ask about him both my parents are black so sir but like if you look at Barack Obama

or J. Cole or Drake or whoever that's the first thing that they go to logic that's the first thing they go to

cause every now and then that whiteness come out of them that's all and it reminds us but that's the part of who they are too like you can't say that

that is true but you can't pick who's going to be a Karen. Oh, my gosh. Who is? I'm just saying. Anyway. Anyway, Gunna announces his new album, One of One.

Okay. I'm really, really happy for this, because Gunna makes some dope music. He does. Always, always have, and, you know, hopefully always will. A month before his upcoming Bitter Tour Suite, he's announced his fifth album. Now, he released a cover art, but he didn't release the date. And in more Gunna news, he sat down with XXL to talk about his relationship with Young Thug and all the snitching allegations. This is his first interview since being released from jail, since he's been in jail or whatever.

As you may know, Gunna faced legal troubles in 2022 in young thug's ysl case after spending only seven months in jail gonna was released in december 2022 with a plea deal so he entered an alfred plea many of his peers considered uh the alfred plea to be snitching gonna was then asked about his relationship with young thug and he said it's the same it's love always our relationship is our relationship and when asked about rappers including themselves in it like lord dirk 21 savage and lord baby alluding to him snitching he said none of them are part of the case and don't know legally what's going on so basically like minor everybody

business basically yeah i know and still our folks are so quick to pick a side when you haven't heard anything from thug and didn't they just say gunner will not be testifying yeah yeah they just said situation he will not testify yeah yeah so and then for another story this is a little heavy but uh north carolina man is killed by carjacker after he tried to shoot him at point blank range four times that's crazy the video that's got a lot of attention on social medium shows two ncdot employees acting as good samaritans, intervened to stop the carjacking. We're told the man in the yellow vest is 38-year-old Jonathan LeCompte. Investigators say when LeCompte attempted to stop 28-year-old Ricky Driggers from carjacking another vehicle, Driggers jumped into LeCompte's

DOT vehicle. You can hear LeCompte fire several point-blank gunshots at Driggers before he put the truck in reverse and backed away. That's when LaCombe was hit and later died at the hospital. Driggers was arrested a short time later after he wrecked the stolen vehicle on Selma Road near Highway 41. That video was crazy. Y'all seen the video? Yeah, I saw it yesterday. You seen the video? It's crazy. Yeah, it is crazy.

He shot him up so close, like and still missed but that's the thing he um i wonder if his his truck was bulletproof the window because like it seemed like he still was shooting after the guy closed the door yeah i mean yeah if you didn't see the video first of all i didn't know d.o.t carries a gun on him like that that was crazy that wasn't no little pistol but yeah he was shooting at the guy as the guy was walking in the car that's why sometimes you have to understand the story. Because when I first seen it, I didn't know what the hell was going on. So he was shooting at the guy.

The guy backed up. And I guess he put his gun back in his pocket and started walking away and didn't even pay the guy any attention. But you hear in the video, he said, he's going to drive up. He's going to drive up. And then he runs in the path where the guy was driving. And then he hit him. And you can tell how he went up in the air. No, he was definitely

not going to make it. So, yeah, definitely sad. And this happened last month, actually, in Lumberton, North Carolina. Was there a plow on that vehicle? It was.

It was a plow on the front of that vehicle. And he was trying to steal somebody else's truck at first. And then the guy who, the DLT, the guy,

he was trying to help and then the guy jumped in his truck. Yeah. Life really ain't fair, boy. No, it is not, man. So, yeah, who the DLT the guy he was trying to help and then the guy jumped in his truck yeah so life really ain't fair boy no it is not man so yeah prayers up to his family

Yeah, it's Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, April 16th. It goes to 29-year-old Lakeisha Woods-Williams of Texas. Now, Lakeisha was hit with two charges of child endangerment last Thursday

after police officers found her 8-year-old and 6-year-old child alone in their high-rise apartment complex. Now, I know we've heard these stories before. Parents leave their kids home alone so they can go to work. Sometimes to clubs. Sometimes to the grocery store real quick. But Lakeisha, oh, she had bigger plans. See, Lakeisha didn't leave for a couple hours. No, Lakeisha decided she needed to be gone for nearly a week.

What would cause the woman to leave her kids for nearly a week? Let's go to ABC 13 Eyewitness News report, please. Lakeisha Williams. Williams is accused of leaving her 6-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son home alone at their luxury high-rise in the Memorial City area while she flew to Florida and boarded a cruise to Puerto Rico. Both juveniles told officers that they had been left alone since April 4th. The young children were said to be left alone to fend for themselves for at least five days and told deputies they didn't know when their mother was coming home. The precinct five constable's office responded to William's apartment for a welfare check on Tuesday and noted that the apartment was in a state of disarray. They say

it smelled like urine and said it was obvious the children had tried to make themselves meals. Court records say police found a phone and a camera that she was using to communicate with the children while she was gone. When deputies tried to contact Williams, they say she was not cooperative and changed her story about where she was. She was arrested Thursday evening. It don't matter where you were. You was going away from the kids for a week. Why does this remind me of Jay and Silent Bob? Remember that? What the hell? Excuse

me, who's watching these babies? Uh, the fat one's watching the little one. Oh, nice parenting. Lakeisha, as a parent, we all want a vacation from our kids. Okay, you think my wife and I don't take vacations, but we just go and get away from the kids for a while. Yes, the difference is we have babysitters and nannies and grandparents. Adult supervision. Imagine planning a vacation. Okay, you packing, you're getting your head done, some nice protective style like cornrows or faux locs or Senegalese twist. That's what they call it, right, Jess? I don't know nothing about no Senegalese twist.

What protective style you be getting? Faux locs. I don't know nothing about no Senegalese twist. Okay, you get you some nice little outfits from pretty little things, sheen, fashion over, right, Jess? Follocks I don't know I don't know Senegalese Say she know Okay Okay You get you some Nice little outfits From pretty little things Sheen

Fashion over Right Jess Yeah boy Rainbow maybe Rainbow You go get you A manicure Pedicure

You get you a wax You doing all the things To go on vacation Meanwhile You just planning To leave your Eight and six year old At home

Now I know people Can't afford proper child care I get. But if you can't afford the vacation and for someone to watch your kids, then maybe you can't afford to go on vacation. Why don't people think like that? Forget if you can afford to cruise. Can you afford to leave this eight and six year old home alone for a week? The answer is no. OK, this woman was communicating with the kids via a camera in the apartment and via text message to the eight-year-old this whole situation is a prime example of grandma no longer being in our lives where is big mama okay where is grandma where is grandma nowadays grandma might have been on the cruise with us because grandma 49 and the daughter

29 and both of them twerking on facebook the. Now, both kids were checked by paramedics as well as Child Protective Services, and they both have been removed from the apartment. And guess what? Now, they are in care of their aunt. If they have an aunt that they can be in care of now, then why in the hell weren't they in care of the aunt while you was on the cruise? Maybe the aunt was there, too. Maybe the aunt was there.

No, that wouldn't have happened. They wouldn't have gave them to the aunt then. Right. the aunt No That wouldn't have They wouldn't have Gave him to the aunt then Right Well they Oh yeah you're right The fact that we can't Make sense of any of this

And we are running together for truth, justice, and love. And we want people to see what it's like to have two black folk who have no fear, no lies, tell the truth, seek justice, and love the people. What made you want to choose Melina, Dr. Conner? You know, brother, I wanted to choose the best. I believe that excellence in the form of vision, courage, willingness to put your body on the line. She's a scholar. She's an intellectual. She's been to jail many, many, many times. They have attacked her in vicious ways. She's still standing with a tremendous sense of determination. And in that sense, it's still standing with a tremendous sense of determination. And in that sense, it's just a matter of always acknowledging what we always do.

And that's true for everybody around here. We come from a great black people who have the highest standards of excellence within our tradition. That's right. And I wanted to put a smile on the face of Fannie Lou Hamer and Martin Luther King Jr., Curtis Mayfield and Nina Simone. That's high standards. Because those are the folk who are free. As my brother Clifton always says, I want to see whether you're on a plantation or not.

But this sister ain't never been on nobody's plantation. That's hard to find these days for black folk. And so to be able to work with her, work alongside her, learn from her, be instructed and inspired. It's a beautiful thing. And let the record show, Melina's been to jail for good trouble. Donald Trump has been to jail many times, too.

So I just want to put that out there. He's been to jail for good trouble. That's a good point. I was going to ask, you know, you guys are running independently. And people, when they question the Democrats or they question Biden or they question Kamala Harris, they say people are going against their race and people are going against what they, quote unquote, should be doing. What's your thoughts on that? Because in all actuality, people would say that you guys are questioning them as well. That's true. That's true. Fannie Lou Hamer said, I'm questioning America. I'm questioning capitalism. I'm questioning patriarchy and I'm questioning capitalism. I'm questioning patriarchy. And I'm questioning white supremacy.

The folk who want to defend Biden and can't say a mumbling word about the genocide and the ethnic cleansing and apartheid state of Israel, it means they're turning their backs. But no, we don't come out of tradition like that. We committed to Jamal and Letitia in the hood. We committed to Juan and Juanita in the barrio. We committed to poor whites. We committed to Palestinians. We committed to barrio. We committed to poor whites. We committed to Palestinians. We committed to any folk. We committed to Jews when they catch in hell.

We around in 1930, we consolidated with the Jews against Hitler. Right now, you got genocide taking place in Gaza. We take a stand. Not out of self-righteousness, but because we want to be moral and spiritual. That's who we are as a people, man. At our best. I'm not talking about our worst. At our best.

And therefore, you got Trump, dead up gangster, leading the country towards Civil War II. Biden, war criminal, leading the world toward World War III. Now you're going to choose between Civil War II and World War III. What you going to do? That's the history of black folk. For us, Pharaoh has always been on both sides of the bloody red seas. What you gonna do? Sing a song.

What you gonna do? Crack a smile. Crack a joke. Hug. Organize. Immobilize. And then make a way out of no way. That's the history of black folk.

How have we made a way out of no way? I sit here and look at you young brothers. I know what's in you. I know your grandparents. I know what they've been through. They made a way out of no way. Look at you sitting there with all this dignity. Couldn't do it by yourself.

That's that rich tradition inside of you. That's all we're trying to do. And that's true for my dear sister going back to Louisiana. We both got Louisiana roots. Deep Louisiana roots. Even though she come out of East Oakland. So, I mean, you know, she got jumpstarted. East Oakland is like Detroit and Chicago.

And Mississippi is even deeper than all of them. We won't get into that right now. South Carolina was in Monk's Corner. Yes, sir. Oh, Lord have mercy. How do we get people to get out of the mind frame where I only can vote for Democrat or Republican? Right. I say it all the time. A lot of people are from years and years and years of grandparents voting Democrat and and great-grandparents and then parents and then yourselves how do we get them out to think outside of the box right because automatically when somebody sees somebody running as an independent they think well he is or she is there's no way that they can possibly win they're just somebody in there to start trouble and to to mess up the the democrats so how do we get people to change that view yeah i think part of it is you know

curtis mayfield got this song no thing on me i'm so glad i got my own so glad that i can see my life is a natural high the man can't put no thing on me it depends on what you see when you we when we see we have to see a system you can't just look at two parties you got to see how both of them are tied to wall street at pentagon both of them tied to war both of them tied to greed and so you have to have an understanding of how the system operates and then say ah i want to be critical of the. I'm not just critical of Trump's gangsterism. I can see how Trump's gangsterism is inseparable from Biden's genocidal policies facilitating genocide in Gaza.

So you begin to see how the system operates and connects what's happening with the Palestinians in Gaza or what's happening in black folk in Harlem, what's happening with poor whites in Kentucky, what's happening with poor Latinos in East LA. And that is a different way of seeing the world. That's why our artists at their height, Nina Simone and others, they help us

to see things we didn't see. Then the question becomes, how do you implement? How do you execute? Usually, when you see and you raise your voice, you get incarcerated or assassinated. That's what the system does to free black people. So you have to be willing to pay that or assassinated that's what the system does to free black people so you have to be willing to pay that cost and that's exactly what the cost we're willing to pay

how come because we love the people and the only thing that breaks the back of fear is love and if you don't love the people then get out of the way and go on and sell out go on and sell your soul for a mess of potage and tell people lies tell them how great biden is tell them biden has always been concerned with poor folk no he's our architect of mass incarceration that's a crime against humanity i've taught in prison for 41 years i've seen it go from 200 000 to 2.3 million right before my very eyes that's a crime against humanity that's my brothers and sisters in there hey guys i'm kate max you might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more., their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

When I smoke weed, I get lost in the music.

I like to isolate each instrument. The rhythmic bass, the harmonies on the piano, the sticky melody. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Careful, babe. There's someone crossing the street. Sorry, I didn't see him there. If you feel different, you drive different.

Don't drive high. It's dangerous and illegal everywhere. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council. Hey, I'm Jacqueline Thomas, the host of a brand new Black Effect original series, Black Lit, the podcast for diving deep into the rich world of Black literature. I'm Jack Peace Thomas, and I'm inviting you to join me and a vibrant community of literary enthusiasts dedicated to protecting and celebrating our stories. Black Lit is for the page turners, for those who listen to audiobooks while commuting or running errands, for those who find themselves seeking solace, wisdom, and refuge between the chapters. From thought-provoking novels to powerful poetry, we'll explore the stories that shape our culture.

Together, we'll dissect classics and contemporary works while uncovering the stories of the brilliant writers behind them. Black Lit is here to amplify the voices of Black writers and to bring their words to life. Listen to Black Lit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Don't lie. Don't want to be lying on Biden in that sense. So it's that kind of truth-telling that we need,

and it's rooted in love. You know, Melina, you founded you were the co-founder of the L.A. chapter of the Black Lives Matter movement. And in 2022, you got police took you out of a mayoral debate. Well, I'm not going to say took you out. That'd be kind. They dragged you out. What was the reasoning behind it? They carried me out by all fours. So that means on each limb, I had a different cop pulling me from each limb on the last day of Ramadan with my legs sprawled open. It was not only brutal, it was humiliating. It was dehumanizing.

There is no justifiable reason for them doing that. I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. Is it true that you sued BLM? I sued and I should be very clear. Black Lives Matter grassroots, which is the side of Black Lives Matter that I represent, were the boots on the ground. We're 33 chapters around the country. Black Lives Matter grassroots is the real BLM. When you think of Black Lives Matter, being in the streets, organizing alongside families, that's who we are. In 2022, our resources and platforms were stolen by a group of highly paid consultants. And we know we have a right to those things back. And so we sued them after trying to convince them to do the right thing. And that wasn't going to happen.

They refused to listen to the voices of the people. We did file a lawsuit in September of 2022. All right, we got more with Dr. Cornel West and Malina Abdullah. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That's right. We are The Breakfast Club.

DJ Envy, Jess Alaria, Charlamagne Tha God. We're still kicking it with Melina Abdullah and Dr. Cornel West. Now, I got a question. What policies would you would you implement that you feel that Biden is not doing for black people? Biden and Trump. And Trump. Well, first thing is reparation. Second thing is abolition of poverty.

Abolition of unhousedness supporting militant wing of the trade union movement that's fighting for wages for workers across the board and what's my dear sister was talking about disinvestment for military 800 military units around the world special operations 130 countries that's an empire we're anti-imperialist america doesn't need to be an empire. We've got to be a nation among other nations. We don't need to dominate every nook and cranny of the world. So all of those resources, the trillions of dollars going into military,

62 cents for every $1 in the discretionary budget, that's going to housing. We can stop this gentrification taking place, this power grab and land grab, pushing out poor and working people, pushing up the prices, the greed of Wall Street, the greed of corporations and oligopolies and monopolies, and dealing with the ecological crisis, with the fossil fuel companies. So that is a way of going back to Curtis Mayfield.

What we see, the lens through which you view the world, and we view the world through the lens of those Frantz Fanon called the wretched of the earth. I don't view the world and we view the world through the lens of those france fenon called the wretched of the earth i don't view the world through stock market i don't view the world through how many black faces are in high places when their cousins getting crushed it's a different way of engaging politics this is what my brother calls a paradigm shift we are not politicians she's been running for justice all of her adult life i've been running for justice all of my adult life we need people to get in politics She's been running for justice all of her adult life. I've been running for justice all of my adult life.

We need people to get in politics who already been running for justice, running for truth and into politics. Don't enter politics and think all of a sudden you're going to be a truth teller. That ain't going to happen. Biden, Trump, you know, the rematch is coming in November. What do you think the Democrats have done well? We know who we know who the Republicans are. But what do you think the Democrats have done well? We know who the Republicans are, but what do you think the Democrats have done well, if anything?

The one thing they did was cut child poverty in half because we put a lot of pressure on them. And what happened? It expired and it's doubled again. So they did something well for a little bit and then fell back. And of course, we got a long thing of what they're not doing well.

But my dear sister, you jump right in. Right. I mean, I think that there are individual Democrats who are doing really beautiful things, who are stepping forward in courage. So Cori Bush is an inspiration to me. Absolutely. Jamal Bowman is doing phenomenal work. Ayanna Pressley is carrying a bill for us right now called the Ending Qualified Immunity Act. And so I think that there are some courageous Democrats. corporations want, what the few want, as you put it, what the haves want, rather than representing what the working class people want. They're not supporting people like one of the people I'm most inspired by is down the street from you,

Chris Smalls and the Amazon labor union. Yeah, Chris is my folks. And, you know, that's the kind of labor union we want. And we're not seeing the kind of support for real labor, for radical labor unions like we need, like we should be expecting from the Democratic Party. Although there are some individual courageous Democrats. What do you think about the student loan forgiveness? Oh, shoot. That should have been in place a long time ago. My God, I crossed the board. And not only that, but we ought to have free education, free health care, and we ought to have a right to housing.

I was just with the Reclaim Movement there in Eastside Cafe in Los Angeles. And they got all these homes empty and got hundreds and hundreds of folks nowhere to go. And, of course, we know Pastor Q in Skid Row, right? The church without a wall. Pastor Q, we know Pastor Q in Skid Row, right? The church without a wall. Pastor Q, we know Los Angeles Community Action Network. Again, our policies. And if you look at our platform at Cornell West 2024, I was before I was invited onto this ticket.

I was inspired by the platform. I was inspired by Dr. West. I was inspired by a visionary plan to build what we can have when we make different choices. When we refuse to, again, fuel genocide at a cost of hundreds of billions of dollars, right? We can't have housing for all. When you ask about student debt, you know, there's a cancellation of a limited amount of student debt, but there shouldn't be student debt in the first place because education should be free from birth through doctorate. Education should be free. And so these are the kinds of choices that we make. We know that budgets are some of the most serious moral and ethical documents and they are zero sum games so if you're spending on a military industrial complex you're not housing your folks and we want to make the choice to house our folks to feed our folks

to provide quality health care for all those are the things that you'll get and those are the things that we're proposing to the world to make different choices with this campaign how would you handle the dei situation if you were president dr cornell well one i would never use the language dei what is what is diversity no we're talking about truth and justice you see we got a vicious legacy of white supremacy exclude black folk for over 100 and some years and then you're gonna say well we got a diversity program for y'all no no we want truth we want justice it's reparations and therefore the language was wrong for me the the dei issue is one in which it never it never should have been dei should have been truth justice but it now is dei you support it and you know it's a vicious attack on black folk you see it at harvard that's right it's

a sad thing it's sister claudine becomes a poster child for anti-semitism ain't got a anti-semitic bone in her haitian body that's sick that's ridiculous what do you think and i'll just add you know it was already said brilliantly but i've been thinking also about it um overnight the i the inclusion part i actually don't want to be included in a fundamentally oppressive system. Right. So the inclusion, the I is reminding us that they're not willing to transform an oppressive system into a liberatory one. They're only willing to say a few of y'all can come in the door. And what we want is the transformation of these systems so that we can all use them for our liberation and freedom, right? We do want quality education. We do want accessible education. We do want liberatory models of education where ethnic studies, where Pan-African studies, which is

what I teach, is part, it's foundational because it's as important for you to take a class for me as it is to take a math class. I don't know a bit of algebra. Right. I don't know a bit of algebra anymore. But I do not need to know my history, my background, my power, how systems work. And so we want liberatory models of education, not just an inclusion into a system that's fundamentally oppressive. Now, how can people donate and make sure they support and follow the cause? Yeah, as my dear sister said, it's cornellwest2024.com, cornellwest2024.com. We are turning the corner. And the fact that Malina Abdullahdullah said yes takes us to a different level because we got new vision new intellect new energy new courage coming together all right well we appreciate you

guys for joining us and that's all you tell you dr cornell west don't be a stranger bro that's right well you so kind that's right you said that last two years i want you that's right that's right dr cornell west malina abdullah thank you for joining us it's the breakfast club good morning You said that last night, too. That's right. Dr. Cornel West. Melina Abdullah. Thank you for joining us. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club on this Tuesday. Yes. Sun is out. Yes, sun is out. It's nice outside. It's beautiful. It's going to be 72 degrees.

Not yet. Yes, it is. Yesterday was definitely musty weather. Yesterday's musty weather. Not yet. Yes, it is. Yesterday was definitely musty weather. Yesterday was musty weather. Some of y'all left the house because it was chilly in the morning. Right. And didn't know it was going to turn 80. And then around noon, the Mondawm started humming, coming at y'all.

Come on, y'all. All right, let's get to Jess with the message. The news is real, brother. Jess is just a robber. Jess don't do no lying. Jess don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide message.

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 settle it all. All right. So latest news in the Alec Baldwin's case. A judge sentenced Hannah Gutierrez Reid to 18 months in prison after the jury found her guilty of involuntary manslaughter. The jury convicted her on March 6th. So the arrest armorer is the person responsible for the firearms on set where cinematographer Helena Hutchins was shot and killed back in 2021.

Hutchins had been preparing for a close-up shot when Alec Baldwin was holding a gun and discharged. Okay. In Hannah's statement, she said, First and foremost, my heart aches for the Hutchins family and friends and colleagues as well. It has been a tragedy since it occurred. And Helena has been and always will be an inspiration

to me. I understand that she was taken too soon and I pray that you all find peace. She currently has been in jail for about a month and Alec Baldwin is heading to trial for involuntary manslaughter as well in July. But this was interesting because his original charges were dropped

last April and then they brought them back on January 19th. So he's still going to be tried for involuntary manslaughter. And I hope he beats all his charges, because Alan Baldwin should not be held guilty for anything. You're on a set. There's so many checks and balances that happen before that prop gun gets to you. Why was it even a real gun? Why was there real bullets in the gun?

Well, not even that. I don't know how it is before before but now when you go on set they make the actual actors check the gun to make sure there's no bullets in the gun like they actually you have to check it why does the actor have to do it what if i don't know anything about another precaution to make sure and then they're not allowed to actually point the gun at the person they point it off where it looks like it so yeah there's so many precautions i wonder if that was the case during that filming. And they actually have somebody to come before the scene. They prep the scene with another person who comes and makes it. I've never seen the actor do it, but I've seen an actual person shoot the gun.

I think that's somebody that they have in training to train you on how to get ready for these types of scenes. In East New York, when I was acting on that show a couple of months ago, I actually had to check myself. Well, that was wrong. Was that a 2B film? Okay. That sounded like somebody was cutting costs. The fact i just got to check their own gun was crazy and why is it a real gun yeah it shouldn't be a real gun i know i know well um in other news now listen i need y'all to get into this this is for y'all this is why i'm reporting this because y'all two are men and i don't know how y'all be sleeping but okay a man suffers penal fracture during sleep.

Okay, so this guy was 27 years old. He's from Tunisia. So this is worldwide news. He had to go through an emergency surgery after fracturing his penis while he was asleep. All right. He reportedly rolled over on his erected penis while sleeping. I don't know what type of dream it was, but honey, it was real. All right. Which led to

a snap sound and intense pain and swollen. Yes. At first he ignored the symptoms and waited 36 hours before going to a hospital. Right? According to the doctors, penal fractures, although they are rare, they demand urgent surgical attention due to their potentially severe

consequences. Alright, a penis is technically boneless. So it's no, you know, it's like a little chicken. You know what I'm saying? Like one of them will wings. So it's no bones, but the fracture is a tear in the tissue that allows the penis to become erect. So a sign of a broken penis is called eggplant deformity.

Hence that emoji that they use. It's quite the perfect metaphor. They don't make nothing like they used to. Penises used to on penises used to be way more durable listen listen this is when the penis becomes swollen and purple eggplant eggplant all right the patient yes uh the patient didn't suffer any long-term problems regarding urination or sexual function but it can happen so y'all watch how y'all rolling around i think that's cap i don't believe that story I don't believe that he just tore his penis

Or fractured his penis just by rolling over That's the story he telling people That's the story he telling people Something else happened You don't just get no fractured penis by rolling over You think he might have been possibly cheating I don't know It had to be

I don't know but they say he rolled over I don't know what the dream was given Could have been Freddy Krueger to be. I don't know, but they say he rolled over. That's why I said I don't know what the dream was giving, you know. Could have been Freddy Krueger chasing him. Anything. We don't know. Freddy Krueger chasing him,

not going to have him erect, though. Oh, baby. You don't know that. We don't know what he was doing. You right. Yeah.

Touche. Five claws. All right. One right up the cruck. But anyway, the last story of the day. Cameron slams Caitlyn Jenner

for a comment about O.J. Simpson's death on an episode of the podcast. It is what it is with Kate with Cam Mace and Treasure Hills and Treasure Wilson. My bad. I'm gonna get a Rachel. Cam criticized Caitlyn's tweeting. Good riddance at the announcement of OJ's death. This is what he had to say. Like I see Caitlyn Jenner write some shit. Good riddance.

Caitlyn Jenner, you killed niggas in Calabasas. And talking about paparazzi was chasing you. And you was Bruce. No, there's nothing to do with transgender. Nothing like that. But I'm just trying to say, the paparazzi wasn't on Bruce when you had to be running to kill niggas. You ain't Princess Di, nigga.

The fuck you mean you? the paparazzi was on you n****s. You killed n****s and you paid n****s $800,000 because you was wrong. If you wasn't wrong, you would have fought it. You killed n****s, admitted to killing n****s, and then paid n****s because you killed n****s.

You know what? $800,000 settlement for that car crash. Yeah, you know what? For the car crash in 2015, you're not lying. For the car crash in 2015. And Caitlyn jumped on X to defend herself. She said, I know you all think

it's cute to compare a fatal car accident with multiple vehicles involved to a brutal murder. But remember, OJ said something to the effect of, I could kill her,

referring to Nicole, and get away with it because I'm OJ Simpson. Yeah, two things can be true, though. You was in a fatal car crash that left one woman dead and that person's family might feel like you didn't have to you know deal with the consequences of your actions because you are a celebrity maybe they feel like you got off light and only had to pay $800,000 because of who you are so what about when you die and somebody tweets out you know good riddance right yeah but this is the thing I never

understood about the OJ story whether you believe believe it or not, he was found innocent. Not guilty. I mean, I'm sorry, yeah. He was found not guilty. So when I see the newspapers saying, now the killer's, the murderer's dead and the killer's killed, it's just really crazy to me because he was found, whether you believe it or not,

legally he was found innocent, not guilty. Only thing I don't understand about the OJ case is when people say him dying at 76 years old of prostate cancer is karma. Do you understand that the average lifespan of a man is 72, 73 years old? He beat that by three years and he died of prostate cancer. That can happen to anybody. Health issues are not karma, you idiots. I'm going to the doctor today.

Well, good. And for those who don't know, Cameron felt so strongly about it because oj simpson was a recurring guest host for one of these what it is so they were actually cool all right well that is just with the mess let's get to the people's choice mix let's go the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club nowious, you just called our program director in Atlanta, Clown.
