Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! You guys really are like the hip-hop early morning, late night talk show. Breakfast Club is the most powerful, popular, urban radio show in America. Live from the Black Mothership in New York City, it's DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God. It's different, you know what I'm saying? Like, y'all know what y'all talking about. Thank you, y'all. Be blessed, y'all. I love y'all. Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches.

So she'll be joining us in a second. All right. Well, I'm kind of glad Charlamagne is not here. And if you're asking why, Red, you know why. It's because the Dallas Cowboys won last night.

Yes, the Dallas Cowboys beat the Los Angeles Chargers last night, 2017. So I'm kind of happy that he's a little late today. I didn't want to hear his mouth first thing in the morning. How do you feel about that, Red? You feel about the same? Yeah, I feel he would have been in here bragging. Yes, absolutely. So I'm kind of glad he's a little stuck in traffic. So salute to the reason why he's stuck in traffic. We didn't have to see his face that early, but he'll be joining us in a minute. But today on the show, we're going to have a serious

conversation. There's been a lot going on with Israel and Palestine and the Hamas group. And there's been a lot going on. And if you're like me, there's so many things swirling around and I don't know much about it. You try to watch TV, there's so many different sides, there's so many different reports, there's so many things to discuss.

So today, we're going to have that discussion on The Breakfast Club. So we have Jonathan Greenblatt. He'll be joining us. He's the director of the Anti-Defamation League league and he's going to be talking to us about israel and his thoughts and and what they're preparing to do and and all that and how they feel and also uh mark lamont hill will be joining us joining us and you know mark lamont hill host of bt news uh the griot uh so many different things he's he's been pro-palestine for for a long time he's he's been talking about this this war and the things that's been going on over there for like the last i don't even know how long he's he's come up here many many times to discuss that so we're

going to talk to both sides today and just have a discussion and hopefully we get the information that we need to fill us in because like i said with so much going on i really don't know you know you see people posting one side and people upset you see people posting another side and people upset i don't know how this started i'm not i i honestly don't know so hopefully today uh they'll fill us in and we'll get a better understanding here's charlamagne now hey mark hey man see listen didn't i just tell y'all i love the sanitation workers salute to all the people out there that drive the uh the garbage truck yeah but they stop in the middle of the street in the morning y'all gotta get the f out the way in the morning that's what i said there's no way that y'all got traffic backed up for two blocks you got people getting out of their

cars yes looking to see what's going on yes like let's please be considerate of the folks that got places to be. Nah. That's all I'm asking the sanitation workers to do. God bless y'all. We respect y'all. We appreciate y'all.

Thank you for keeping the streets clean, but damn. Yeah, they just stop right in the middle of the street. Lord have mercy. They get all the garbage

and then they move up a little bit and then they stop in the middle of the street. they're the only ones that got a job to do. I'm trying to get to work too, my brothers.

I've been there before. You know what I'm saying? And my sisters that are sanitation workers, I ain't never seen no women sanitation workers, but I'm sure they exist. Mm-hmm. You know? too, my brothers. I've been there before. You know what I'm saying? And my sisters that are sanitation workers, I ain't never seen no women sanitation workers, but I'm sure they exist. You know? But good morning.

How's everybody? How's the rest of the country? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I was just telling them that you were late. I told them I was kind of happy that you were late because you're a Cowboys one last night and I didn't want to hear your mouth. Listen, we humble, man.

No, you're not. We humble. That's not true. We humble, man. You know, nice little 2017 win against the Los Angeles Chargers. We humble, man. That's not true. No, we're little 2017 win against the Los Angeles Chargers. We humble, man. That's not true.

No, we're just on our way to the Super Bowl. That's all. See, there you go. See, did I tell you that, Red? Didn't I tell you that? Tell you what? That you were going to say that? Yeah, all right.

I've been saying that for the past 27 years. I have a long it's been since 1996. I'm not good at math. All right, well, when we come back, we got front page news. Can we tell them who's coming in this morning? I was telling the people that we're going to have a conversation this morning. There's a lot going on in Israel and Palestine. Israel and Gaza, absolutely.

And for myself, I don't know what's going on. I'm not sure. So we have two gentlemen here that's going to try to break it down and explain it to give us better knowledge. Yeah, we got the head of the ADL, Jonathan Greenblatt. He'll be here. Anti-Defamation League, yep. And then we have, of course, Mark Lamont Hill, which I told you guys, of course. Mark Lamont Hill's a professor at

SUNY University. He wrote a book called Except for Palestine. He actually got fired from CNN for being pro-Palestine. Okay. Yeah. So we'll talk to both of them this morning. Let's get the show cracking. Front Page News is next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast

Club. We have Monty Mills here. She's our guest host today. Good morning, Monty. What's up? Good morning. And let's get to some front page news. Last night, the Cowboys beat the Chargers 2017. Now, let's jump right into it. The Dallas Cowboys beat the Los Angeles Chargers 2017.

I said that. We're 4-2, number 2 in the NFC East behind the Philadelphia Eagles. But sitting nicely, actually defecicating on those New York Giants. Everybody heard me say that. I said that. I said it just like that. You didn't say everything I said. I meant it.

All right, now let's jump right into it. Where are we starting off, Tears? Good job trying to skip on by. Good morning, everybody. You did try. It is always hard to report sad news, especially involving children, but this is on the front page news all over the country right now. It is always hard to report sad news, especially involving children. But this is on the front page news all over the country right now.

Let's go to ABC for the report to hear about the six year old that lost his life due to the ramifications of war. Let's go to the report. We learned that a 71 year old landlord in a Chicago suburb viciously attacked two of his renters, fatally stabbing a six year old boy and wounding his mother simply because they were Muslim and apparently because of his pure hatred about what's happening in Israel. Police say he stabbed that little boy, Wadia Al-Fayyum, 26 times with a military child's style knife. Attorney General Mary Garland said late last night he was, quote, heartbroken and announced a federal hate crimes investigation the fbi says the most immediate concern is that so-called lone wolves and other unstable individuals inflamed by the israeli conflict

will act out and harm whoever's near i mean it's horrible you know which is why we have jonathan greenblatt and mark lamont hill coming on this morning because these are the kind of ramifications that are going to happen because of what's going on in Israel and Gaza. So sad, man. Very sad story. And the 32-year-old mother, again, just to reiterate that because I know he said it fast, she is still

alive. She's in the hospital in serious condition and is expected to survive. And Joseph Chuba, that was the guy that murdered this little boy he's charged with first degree murder attempted first degree murder two counts of a hate crime and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon now speaking of the war just wanted to give another update um about 2 000 u.s troops were told to prepare for deployment uh to in response to the israel's

hamas war let's listen to that report then i want to give you some other information this is a group of soldiers u.s soldiers who were already on essentially a short leash for deployment so in 96 hours what they call it they've been that that has been shortened to a 24 hour that means that once they get the call saying hey you have to deploy they literally have to be on the airfield ready to go within 24 hours. And the idea is if, in fact, they get that order, they have not gotten yet, they would go to the region, most likely to a country neighboring or nearby to Israel. Now, it's also important to point out that this is a whole mix of different troops. So it includes medical troops, people who could

support with medical evacuations and things, explosive ordinance people who are you know experts in explosives but it also will include sort of your classic infantry troops again it is not clear um if they will be deployed uh again just reiterating they said it'd be a non-combat role and not actually in israel and also president biden will be arriving in israel today as well but i want to just just throw this out there as well. President Biden said this on Sunday in his 60 Minutes interview when he was asked, will we be sending troops to Israel? Let's listen. Can you foresee U.S. troops in combat in this new Middle East war?

I don't think that's necessary. Israel has one of the finest fighting forces in the country. I guarantee we're going to provide them everything they need. Hey, man, that's why you can't ignore what's going on in Israel and Gaza. You know, U.S. troops being deployed. I know folks are saying, you know, I have to pay attention to what's going on in my own backyard. But the U.S. troops headed over there, that might be one of your family members or friends that you sit in your backyard with. You know, not to mention our tax dollars support israel in this military yeah so i need you should

want to know what's happening with your money that's right all right well that is front page news and that's the reason why we have jonathan greenblatt joining us this morning and also mark lamont hill so we'll have a conversation this morning and talk to those brothers later on all right before that now get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent phone lines are wide open again 800-585-1051 and we got our special guest host monty mills joining us this morning it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club yo charlamagne envy what up, what up?

Hello? Hey, what's going on? Good morning, Envy and Salome. What's up? Peace, King. Said you want to discuss Israel and Palestine. Oh, man, dude. So I understand it's a lot going on over there.

And I understand Israel is our allies and stuff. But I genuinely believe we Americans should stay out of it. I know that probably sounds crazy, but if you're not seeing it when you walk out into the world, there is a division going on as we speak, especially on social media. And I'm a little nervous about that because it seems like you don't support one side, you're anti-Semitic. If you support the other side, you might be considered like a homegrown terrorist and whatnot yeah i don't understand why we can't just be a pro pro not wanting to see children get killed a pro not wanting to see innocent civilians get killed i don't understand

why we just can't be that yeah well we got jonathan greenblatt he'll be joining us this morning he's director of the anti-defefamation League. And also Mark Lamont Hill. Professor Mark Lamont Hill. Professor Mark Lamont Hill, you know, host of BET News. He's a professor, like Charlemagne said. He's pro-Palestine. And they're both going to be breaking things down from what they know. The knowledge that they both know.

You know, Mark has traveled, you know, over there a lot. So has Jonathan. You know, Mark wrote a book called Except for Palestine. Mark got fired from CNN for being pro-Palestine. And, of course, you know, Jonathan Greenblatt is the head of the Anti-Defamation League. So it'll be good to hear both of their perspectives on what's going on. All right. Well, when we come back, we got your rumor report.

Thank you for calling 800-585-1051. Now, Monty, we got rumors on the way. What are we talking about? Yes, yes, yes. We are talking. Jada's still in the headlines. Her book drops today, though. So, you know, we're still talking about what's going on.

So that's what we'll be talking about today. More Jada. Okay, we'll get into that next. So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club on BET. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

Okay. And you're pregnant. Congratulations. Thank you. I was looking at your page yesterday and you were talking about, you know, how it's been difficult the last 30 days, right? She about to bust in the moment. Yeah, I see.

Not 30 days. Literally, this pregnancy in general has been hard on me. It's my fourth one. It's your fourth one. It's my fourth pregnancy. Yeah, I'm vetted up in here, you know. But it's just been difficult in general. I don't know.

Because I got more kids. Because I'm getting older. I don't know. How many months do you? I'm eight months. Eight months. I guess. I'm 34 weeks.

I don't know what the terms is. Because you're pregnant and you still got to be a mom. So you still got to do the things that you can't say I can't do. You got to do because you're a mom. I have toddlers. I have a four-year-old and a two-year-old. So all of that and pregnancy is a lot. But no more. I'm done. You done? I'm done. Charlamagne has four. I have six. Yeah, I'm not

getting it. No, I'm done. Four is good. We done. We done at four. Yeah, we good. I got a five-year-old and two-year-old. So I understand. Oh, yeah. It's real. It's definitely real. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's go. This is the rumor report. She want the tea.

How you feel, money? It's gone. What's up? Good morning. I just wonder how crazy this is going to get. On The Breakfast Club. You know what's going to be crazy, money. Okay, baby.

It's your time, baby. Okay, period. Okay, so entertainment. We're talking more Jada. How y'all feeling about talking about more Jada? I mean, the book drops today, so I feel like we kind of have to talk about it. She keeps giving us stuff to talk about. So she made a few promo stops

to defend her relationship with Will. It seems like things are kind of, I don't know, changing perspectives a little bit. She pulled up on Fat Joe to get her terror squad, Air Force Ones, and while she was there, she kind of cleared some things up. Let's check it out. Me and Will, we are in such a good place. That's not what the tabloids are saying. But that's the tabloids.

And so everybody's sticking to You know we split up We've been separated So it's like So they running with it They running with that And it's like we have been separated But guess what After the Oscars

We came back to a whole place That little thing He got a little gays today He said yo you know what I'm about to take you back We are back together. We came back to a whole place. That little thing, boy. He got a little gays today. He said, yo, Will, you know what? I'm about to take you back. See? See? You say I'm about to take you back, Will.

I know that. We did so much healing together. There's been an energy shift. You know why there's been an energy shift? Why you think? Because there was a conversation in the Smith household. Nobody can tell me different. Oh, you think Will called him back?

Hey, fix this. Nobody can tell me different. She, you think Will called and be like, hey, fix this. Nobody can tell me different. She went back on the Today Show. But I feel like Jay is definitely running the show. I don't know who's running the show. I just know that there was a conversation had in that household because there was an energy shift for Fat Joe. There was an energy shift on Colbert.

And she went back on the Today Show with Holder yesterday after just being there last week. So you think Willie will call them today? Y'all got common sense. Y'all got common sense. I don't know. I feel like, like I said, I don't know. It just seems like Jada's running things. I don't know why the turn of events, why she's changing her mind all of a sudden and kind

of going back on those things. But, I mean, could it have to do with the book release? It was a conversation had in that house. I don't know. But you're a pinkie. Smith, Carter, Knoll, something. It seems like she runs. She wears the pants in the house. Don't we have you're a pinkett smith carter something she runs she got she wears the paint the pants in the house don't we have a clip from the today show yes

me and pop would never like it oh this is fat joe that's fat joe we are in a place now that we are in a deep healing space and we are really concentrating on healing the relationship between us so it may not be the divorce on paper anymore? There's no divorce on paper. I mean, not on paper. There might not be a divorce in theory anymore? Yeah, no. We really have been working hard.

You were divorced not on paper. But now we might be at a point where we're back together. We are working very hard at bringing our relationship. Yes, bringing our relationship together. Back to a marriage again. Back to a life partnership. I'm telling you, Jada Pinkett Smith was just on today's show with Hoda last week. Saying she's been separated from Will for seven years or however long it was. And then you popped back on the today's show yesterday singing a different tune.

There was a talk in that house. I believe Brother Will said you need to go clean all that up you know i'm saying and i don't know if the conversation wasn't as intense as will when he was mad at his father leaving him again but the conversation was clearly had i mean well i guess i guess some type of conversation was had to to beat but i don't know like you said i mean like the audio said they're working on a life partnership what has us pretty much confused? Because even with the Oscar slap thing, she was like that. She was confused about Will being so upset because he didn't call her his wife in some time.

So now with her saying that they're working on this partnership after the Oscars, I don't know. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. There was a conversation had in that house. If Jada had that Nora Liza from Men in Black, she would be hitting us all with it right now. To make us forget everything she said last week. Well, you know who's tired of all the Jada sl that Nora Liza from Men in Black she would be hitting us all with it right now to make us forget everything she said last week well you know who's tired of all the Jada slander her mama okay she's tired of everybody coming for her baby

and so she stepped in to defend Jada but I do want to start out as your mama right to clarify some things because I'm a little tired of all the vitriol being thrown your way I'm sick of it. And I just want to say that, you know, when you guys decided to separate, okay, that was a decision

that both of you made. You're both separated. You did not cheat on Will. You're both, both parties are living their lives, both. Okay. So it's not not just you and i need to make that really clear and you know with big ups to moms on defending her baby because she is getting a lot of backlash right now yeah but stuff like that just makes you uh want to ask more questions well you know what that sounds like that sounds like y'all were both living your life like yeah you did your little thing on the side because i was separated were separated. So, it was no cheating. But Will had his thing on the side as well. Y'all both had separate lives.

That's what it sounds like. The difference is Will's thing on the side didn't do an interview with nobody and tell everybody. I know. That's the thing. That's all it boils down to. I just feel like we're getting too much information at one time that just, like you said, it's just leaving us to ask more and more questions. Well, guess what? What? Jada won.

I am sold. Amazon will be delivering my copy of Worthy between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. today. She did what she had to do. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of people buying that book. Yeah, I'm getting my copy today, too. It will be delivered between 2 and 6 p.m. today. Okay? I was in the middle of reading Don Miguel Ruiz's The Shaman's Path to Freedom.

I put that to the side to get the work. All right? You won, Jada. You won. The book rollout was incredible. I've never seen a book rollout like this. I know, right? One of the best.

One of the best. Ever. Well, I feel like people are still kind of questioning some things. I know Jada was really open about a lot in her past, including selling drugs. And so Jim Jones,

he questioned, you know, if Jada really sold crack. Oh, boy. My whole thing is, if you sold crack in the 90s, nine times out of 10, there's still some crackers in the neighborhood that can vouch that you were selling that butter. I don't know where Jada grew up at, but we need to go check and see.

They got some things that can verify that she was selling that thing back in the, she had that butter on the block for sale. Now I missed the Jada selling crack thing. Yeah, she said that. Yeah, she said she didn't want to be a drug dealer's uh girlfriend that was she got the clip even though i always had a regular job i just wanted more financial freedom i decided to sell drugs so she was selling dope so her uh brother could go to college so why she ended up sleeping with that man then what sleeping with that man then? What? Sleeping with what man?

We ain't about to talk about that. It's not a movie. This is not a movie. This is not a movie. Remember when her brother wanted to go to college? Oh my goodness. Remember when her brother was going to go to college?

Everything's not fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Everything's not fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Everything's not fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I do remember. That's another movie.

You can't put too many movies in the same mix I ain't seen herself no crack man I seen her sleep with that man to get the money for her brother

to go to college and he didn't want to go no more and he ended up getting shot man that's what I remember man that was the same movie she got away she did at the end she did get away at the end

but her brother died though her brother did die that was for a sec anyways last thing I want to talk about which this I have mixed feelings about it because J. Cole of course he

has the infamous line I want that Jada and that real love you know and I feel like as these things were happening people were talking about that line as if it you know is it credible anymore well he performed it live and he actually left that part out The crowd ain't even singing. I know. I have no problem with J. Cole suspending that line for the time being. But y'all know. No, you got to suspend that line for the time being. Until we read Worvy and see what the hell going on,

we got to suspend that line for the time being. I know as a rapper and performer, there's times where he doesn't say things, and the crowd says it. The crowd ain't saying it. And the crowd didn't say anything. The crowd say that's up, that's still up, that's up in the air for now.

All right. Okay, well that's... The jury's still out. Is your room up for it? On if we want that Jada and that Will love right now. I don't think nobody want that right now.

You gotta read word before us. I want a real love. Got skin in that bed, look. That Jada and that Will, I'll stay for them. That ain't the question. The crowd like, ehhh.

All right. I don't know. When crowd's like, uh. Oh, no. When we come back, we got front page news. They don't know if they want Jada and Will Love or Jada and Pac Love at this point. But we got to read Werby first. That's right. All right, front page news when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What up, Tess? What's going on?

Good morning, everybody. Breakfast Club family. Our co-host, Monty Mills, is joining us today. Good morning. Good morning, sweetheart. Let's start. Let's jump right into it now. Our sports cowboys beat the Chargers 2017.

Cowboys beat the Los Angeles Chargers 20-17. Monty in here hating. Envy in here hating. Are you a Commanders fan? I hate the new name, but yes, I am. Okay. Well, guess what?

We on top of y'all in the NFC East. For them, for them. We on top of them bum-ass Giants in the NFC East. We beat the Falcons on Sunday, so, you know, we getting there.

I'm only focused on what we did last night. We humble with it. We humble with it. I said your what? What do you got to talk about with the michael parsons you know i mean stefan gilmore all right appreciate you for holding it down when we needed you all right now let's talk about the speaker of the house yeah quick speaker of the house update just a reminder that publicans republicans still do not have a speaker of the house after they ousted

kevin mccarthy which clearly after they did that they didn't have a backup plan. And we can tell today they are expected to try again and they're going to try to elect Jim Jordan as the speaker. Here is the update. There's a lot of tension within the House Republican conference about this. They, of course, voted to evict Kevin McCarthy about two weeks ago. Then the next in line, Steve Scalise, did not get the votes he withdrew. Now it's on speaker would be speaker Jim Jordan, who is officially the conference's nominee for this job. He has not locked up the votes yet, but he put out a new letter to his colleagues sounding the note of unity, calling for them to rally behind him.

Some of his colleagues will find this ironic, given that Jordan has often been on the agitator end of the spectrum. Well, just a reminder why this is important. Again, we remember they just had averted a government shutdown. been on the agitator end of the spectrum well just a reminder why this is important again we are remember they just had a averted a government shutdown so the government shutdown really is technically on pause so they'll be voting for that again in november and we need a congress to actually do that and then don't forget everything that's going on right now with israel they have prepared a two billion dollar package to aid israel and so again we need a congress to be some adults in the room

and decide what's what and that will be hard to do without a speaker of the house so we'll see what happened with that vote today okay now we're going to talk about donald trump a gag order does the gag order mean anything to donald trump uh probably not uh in fact there was a vote out there yesterday i saw online with people taking uh taking a vote to see how long he would i guess not abide by this gag order remember a couple of weeks ago he got another gag order but this is the judge overseeing the federal election interference case issued a gag order yesterday let's listen to the report but in this case in washington dc uh he has been he's made a series of attacks on special counsel jack Jack Smith and people who work for him and others involved in the case.

And this hearing today was to decide whether the judge should impose a limited gag order. And at the end of two hours of arguing back and forth, she decided that she would do that. She's prohibiting former President Trump from maligning prosecutors and court personnel. It's not clear, by the way, if she included herself on that list. We'll find out when she issues the written order and he's also prohibited from attacking witnesses in the context of this case didn't he already this isn't like his second gag order didn't he get a gag order a couple months ago he already violated that one i thought that was in new york a couple months ago it's a couple weeks ago okay back to back he got uh the gag order uh that was

about him talking about the judge's staff uh and and so you know because he had said that the judge that one of the staff members uh was dating mitch mcconnell i believe and so he got a gag order with that uh this will be the second one uh that he got and literally while he was in the hearing he was posting about it literally while he was getting the gag order he was talking and he said the trump gag order uh that the corrupt biden administration is trying to obtain is totally unconstitutional so he was getting the gag order, he was talking and he said the Trump gag order that the corrupt Biden administration is trying to obtain is totally unconstitutional. So he talked about the gag order again while he got the gag order. The Georgia judge went on to say that Mr. Trump can certainly claim that he's being unfairly prosecuted.

But I cannot imagine any other criminal case in which the defendant is permitted, permitted to call the prosecutor deranged or a thug. And I will not permit it here simply because he's running for a political office well giving trump a gag order is as pointless as giving nick cannon a condom like you know he's going to ignore it it means absolutely nothing to him and none of y'all gonna burn him for not using one until there's consequences until there's consequences to the actions he don't care like what's the point of giving him a gag order when he violates it you ain't gonna do nothing about it what's the point yes and what and what is the consequence of violating a gag order like if one of us regular folk was to get a gag order and we violated it what would happen i don't even know what would happen what's the

legal consequences don't they lock you up yeah well usually you can be held to contempt that can be yeah a whole lot can happen if a regular person violates a gag order by a judge you know so yeah you're right well they ain't gonna do nothing to them that's right well one last quick update i wanted to give everybody because this is important if you drive a ford or mercedes-benz i drive mercedes-benz but i don't drive this particular uh car there is a recall so if you're out there rolling right now 230 230,000 Ford Explorers are now being asked to, I guess, get it checked out because they have a rollaway risk. And the Mercedes-Benz is recalling 5,326 vehicles of the 2022-2023 AMG SL55 and AMG SL63. And they believe the starters and the alternator

electrical wiring may not be in place. So if you're out there rolling any of those two vehicles, make sure you turn it in and get it checked out. Want to make sure you're driving safe. So I want to make sure everybody has it up there. Yeah, a quarter million cars, that's a lot. That's a lot. A quarter million cars recalled, that's a whole lot.

What usually happens, if one person gets into an accident one of these cars and it finds to be a faulty part it could be from that one car but they recall them just in case to make sure it doesn't happen again so they recall every cause from that year model but like you say yeah you don't blame me you want to make sure everybody's safe and also too back to the trump thing uh i'm looking at it now it says that if you if he was to violate the gag order the judge could give him a stern warning, financial penalties, possible home detention or even incarceration before trial. They're not going to do none of that to Trump.

Nope. None of it. Nope. None. Nope. I would like to see it, but it ain't going to happen. Not at all. All right.

Well, that is front page news. Thank you, Tez. Absolutely. And make sure you follow at Tezlin Figueroa on all social media platforms at Tezlin Figueroa and subscribe to this Great Shot No Chaser podcast hosted by Teslin Figueroa on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. All right. Now, when we come back, we're going to have a conversation with Jonathan Greenblatt. He's the director of the Anti-Defamation League. We're going to talk to him about everything that's going on with Israel and Palestine and Gaza.

That's right. And then next hour, Mark Lamont Hill will be joining us, Professor Mark Lamont Hill, and he'll be breaking it down as well. A lot to discuss, so keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club on BET. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. The director of the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt. Welcomeblatt welcome back good morning dj how you feeling this morning you know i'm glad i'm here i'm glad i'm here we've definitely got stuff to talk about man what is going on in the world for people that don't know don't understand what is going on in israel and gaza what is happening look these are dark days i would say that this last week has probably been the toughest week of my adult life. So last Friday night, around 1.30 in the morning, I got a call from the head of my Israel office who lives in a town called Modin. And she said, Jonathan, there are

hundreds, maybe thousands of rockets coming into Israel. She said, I don't know exactly what's going on, but you need to know something's up. And so then I called my other staff in Israel and was basically up all night trying to figure out what was going on. And then I would say it was around six in the morning that we started to get word here of what had actually happened. So it turned out that those rockets that were sent by Hamas into civilian targets in Israel were sort of a cover or a distraction for what was really happening, which was this terrorist infiltration and the massacres that took place up and down the Gaza border in all of these surrounding towns. And they were brutal. I mean, the stories that are still coming out, more than 1,300 civilians, not just killed, although they were.

I mean, it was a slaughter. What did he say, the largest number of Jewish people killed in one day since the Holocaust? Since the Holocaust. Jesus. This is, I think, the largest act of terrorism since 9-11. I think it's one of the largest acts of terrorism since 9-11. I think it's one of the largest acts of terrorism since the Second World War. And these people weren't just killed. I mean, they were slaughtered.

When I say slaughtered, they were raped. They were tortured. Babies were burned in their cribs. Children were executed in front of their parents. Parents were executed in front of their children. Elderly people were shot in the head at point-blank range. And they didn't just kill Israeli Jews. Israeli Arabs were killed. Asian people who live and work in Israel, there were videos of Thai people being killed. I saw one man, a video of one man being, he was bloodied, he'd been brutalized, being beheaded with a shovel. Filipino workers were killed. A lot of people died at this music festival. It was a music festival, a peace festival.

And these men came in on mechanized hand gliders of some sort with automatic weapons and gunned down approximately 260 young people. These are boys and girls and teenagers, shot them in the back. Some of the people who'd come in on land were dressed as Israeli medics. They were in like uniforms, you know, and they were in the parking lot. Apparently they stationed themselves in the parking lot. So these men flew in. And as I understand the concert goers who filmed it on their phones, because these people were coming in, they thought it was part of the show. It was like a rave.

Shot at them and the people ran. And they ran to the parking lot and there were medics there who they thought came into help and then the medics took out their guns because they were actually these terrorists and killed them all. They burned people alive in their cars. And of course the people that they didn't kill,

that they didn't maim, they didn't mutilate, they raped a lot of the women before they killed them. There were stories about women who were shot in the legs so they couldn't run and then raped. Some of them were killed, but a number of them and others were then seized and brought into Gaza. And so we know this because we have the footage. This is the thing. We have the footage of all of this. Because these people gleefully videoed it on their phones. There was a story that I heard about one girl who saw the video of her grandmother being killed.

Because they came into her home. They had the grandmother give them her phone. Open her phone. They videoed themselves killing the grandmother oh give them her phone open her phone they video themselves killing the grandmother then they uploaded it to the whatsapp chats on her phone so that's how the grandmother saw her grandmother die in the family whatsapp chat but the grandmother saw her grandmother the granddaughter granddaughter sorry if i said it wrong the granddaughter learned that her grandmother had been killed because these men uploaded the video into the family WhatsApp chat from the grandmother's phone.

But they've seen a lot of these people, and they brought them into Gaza. And again, we have the footage of all this. We have the footage of the murders. We have the footage of the torture. We have the footage of the beheadings. We have footage of these people in Gaza. There's a number of videos. You may have seen them.

There's one video of a young woman battered and bleeding, forced out of a car, mocked by the crowd, and then lit on fire. Set on fire in front of all of these people. There's a video, another video I've seen of a young girl brought out of a car bleeding from the crotch. I mean, it's bloody, you know, and they're leading her through and they're chanting and hooping and hollering like she's some kind of trophy or something. So, I mean, these things, these videos, like I can't get them out of my mind. You know, we talk about what happened in Rwanda. We talk about what happened in Cambodia. We talk about what happened in the Holocaust. And these are like things over there and I'm not minimizing them at all. But oftentimes these are incidents for which we don't

have the live footage and it's hard for us to relate to them do you think this is start another world war i don't know i think america sent that big aircraft carrier over there as a warning to the iranians look again hamas is funded by iran the Hamas government, they don't trade with other countries. They don't build industry. 70% of their budget comes from Iran. So again, how does it happen that they are at war with their own people, impoverishing them at their war with Israel? It's because they don't have any accountability.

So they're a proxy. They're a militia. They're like an extension of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, their army. Okay. and they're a proxy they're a militia they're like an extension of the iranian revolutionary guard their army okay so if israel goes into gaza as they will is that going to prompt other countries to get involved i think america moved its aircraft carrier over there as a sign to the iranians don't get involved all right we got more with jonathan greenblatt when we come back so don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj nv shalameen nadal we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with jonathan greenblatt he's the

director of the anti-defamation league and we're talking israel palestine gaza this morning when the world sees a terrorist group we usually go and try to find or get that terrorist group right how come that hasn't been the same for this case or has it been? It's a really good question, Envy. So, yeah, Hamas is a foreign terrorist organization designated by the U.S. State Department and most other governments. And yet, I would say that the Israelis don't assassinate, kidnap, arrest Hamas figures around the world. They don't do that.

Maybe they should. They don't. Because they usually do that for other they should. They don't. Because they usually do that for other quote-unquote terrorist groups. The United States has. The United Kingdom has for sure. The Israelis don't do that. Maybe they should. I mean, yeah, the Hamas, like,

you know, that wall, the terrible wall that's built in much of the West Bank, it's a terrible thing. It's a terrible thing. The Israelis built it after Hamas did a wave of suicide bombings. If you remember this, they had people strap themselves with explosives and go into cafes and dance clubs and go on public buses.

And thousands of Israelis were killed in the 90s. And that's why they did that. Sorry, it was the early 2000s, not the 90s. But, you know, no, actually, I'm wrong. It was the mid-90s. And it was in response to the Oslo Accords. It was in response to the push for a two-state solution. Hamas doesn't want a two-state solution. They don't.

They say it. They have demonstrated it. And, again, when you butcher children, like when you behead babies, clearly you have reached a point where you do not think the other side are people. I mean, you do not think that Israelis, whether they call us Israelis or Zionists or Jews, it's all the same. You don't think they're people. You think they're animals.

You think they're less than animals. We don't burn animals alive. We don't behead animals. We don't rape animals. we don't rape animals we don't do that and i think you can clearly see through their actions that they regard these they regard jews as subhuman and you know i think it's also hard for us and it's probably hard for your audience like look it's the year 2023 yeah why is this still happening yeah we got electric got electric cars, artificial intelligence, we've cracked the genome code, we're trying to address climate change.

I mean, you don't think, you don't expect that there are people out there who are so brainwashed and are so suffused with hate. But, you know, I wrote this book. I was on your show talking about my book, It Could Happen Here. And the point of the book, It Could Happen Here, was what happens when hate goes to the unthinkable and how can we stop it? And the whole point of the book was when you use this hateful rhetoric, when you demonize people, when you dehumanize them, it creates a conditions in which genocide can happen. And so it's why we got to stop it,

why we speak out against hate when we see it. Anti-Semitism, anti-black racism, anti-Hispanic xenophobia, you speak out against it. Because if you don't speak out against hateful comments, it can evolve or it can move up the chain from comments to actions to systemic policies to violence to genocide. And when I wrote that two years ago, it was certainly based on things like the Holocaust. It was based on things like Rwanda. It was based on what I thought the world had learned. And yet here we are, you know, literally sifting through the rubble and counting the bodies, trying to identify the victims in a way which suggests we haven't learned the lessons at all.

I would, what would you say to people who say that? Cause you said you've criticized Israel's government before. Sure have. MSNBC. I saw something yesterday. It was said Israel's far right government fuel tensions with Hamas. What would you say?

Look, Hamas wrote their would you say about that? Look, Hamas wrote their charter in 1987. 1987. Last year, the Israeli government was a coalition. It's a coalition government. They had Jews and Muslims in the government. They had gay and straight and conservative and liberal. This government is certainly more conservative, more right-wing than that one.

But the fact of the matter is Hamas didn't change their charter when there were Palestinian Arabs in the Israeli government. So I don't think it matters who's in the Israeli government. Bibi Netanyahu and the government. To Hamas? I don't think so. Yeah, I can see that. Hamas is going to do what they do regardless. Hamas is going to do what they do regardless. the government i mean think about hamas i don't think so yeah i can see that so i do i'm gonna do

what they do regardless hamas is going to do what they do regardless hamas's charter hasn't changed so it's certainly true that like i have been someone who's been pushing the israeli government for years to to negotiate with the palestinian authority to try to find ways, try to explore, try to use their kind of political and moral imagination to find ways to bridge gaps. Because I meant what I said before about two-state solution. But when I see no public demonstrations in the Arab capitals, when I see no words from the Palestinian leadership, when I see them in fact celebrating and hooting and hollering and giving out candies, it feels like they don't want a two-state solution. They want a final solution. And the final solution is the term that Hitler used to describe what he

wanted for Europe, which was to exterminate all the Jews. And what we saw happen this weekend in Israel was an extermination of the Jews. And so for saw happen this weekend in Israel was an extermination of the Jews. And so for Jewish people like me who lived just two generations from genocide, this isn't a book. This isn't some abstraction. This is reality. You think the U.S. is doing enough?

No. So I would like right now to make sure if Hamas is a foreign terrorist organization, like you were asking Envy like there should we shouldn't allow people to provide supplies or support for Hamas we should give we should pressure Qatar where these people are living all the leadership to extradite those people to Israel so they can stand trial for their crimes we have a big military base in Qatar they're quote-unquote an ally. There are

also Hamas leadership in Turkey. We should pressure our allies in Turkey to have those people stand trial. We should make sure that there's not a single cent from anywhere that goes to Hamas coffers. And finally, Iran. We need to be a lot tougher on Iran because Iran, if you cut off Iran and you cut off the flow of money, it would force Hamas to realize they have to work with their neighbors, you know, and can't try to mutilate and murder them. So I think I'd like to see our country do more to quell the flow of money and arms and ideas from Iran to Hamas. Some of the big conversations with celebrities not mentioning it. I wanted to know what your thought about it when they mentioned Drake or they mentioned DJ Khaled, who's Khaled is Palestinian

and Drake is Jewish as well. So when you see celebrities not talking about it, how do you feel about it? I feel sad. I feel alone. Like celebrities didn't hesitate to say Black Lives Matter and they should like just so

we're clear after the death of george floyd of course they should and you know celebrities ran to talk about and influencers and people like i don't know exactly what drake or dj collins said they didn't say anything people were saying they would they never do though but they wouldn't yeah so like i don't i don't want to pick on them in particular celebrities in total because their names came up recently it's hard i mean as a jewish person when you see when you look i've I don't want to pick on them in particular. Just celebrities in total. It's hard. As a Jewish person, I've stood for Black Lives Matter.

I fought to stop Asian hate. We launched the Asian American Foundation, for goodness sakes. I co-chaired the 69th March on Washington with Reverend Al a few weeks ago. I've proudly stood, and will continue to, with the NAA and the Urban League and LDF and all these groups.

These are my friends, and their cause is just, and I'm not going to stop. But the Movement for Black Lives, the talk that justifies the genocide of Jews, that says Zionism is racism, anti-Zionism isn't just anti-Semitism. I used to say that. I used to say anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism

because dehumanizing Jews, right, saying i love the jewish people it's just a jewish state that's illegitimate and needs to be destroyed so i've said for years anti-zionism is anti-semitism all right there you have it the director of the anti-defamation league jonathan greenblatt it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we have monty mills joining us today that's right she's from the beat nashville but see i don't like just categorizing categorizing just nashville so i'm from dc so i gotta shout out my dc people i lived in south carolina that's kind of where i built my grant my brand for like eight years.

And, you know, the reason we wanted to do that. So that way you can hear from both sides and try to understand what's going on, because, you know, I'm confused just like anybody else. You can't say, you know, you got you're worrying about things that are going on in you know your own backyard because the reality is you might have a friend that's being deployed that you sit in your backyard with and like i said before you know u.s tax dollars have supported israel and its military for 75 years so you should know where your money going and i don't know about y'all but i had to

Let's go. What's up? Good morning. I'm bedded up in here, you know. Oh, yeah. It's real. I just wonder how crazy this is going to get. On The Breakfast Club. You know what's going to be crazy, Monty. Go ahead. It's your time, baby. It's your time, baby.

You didn't have your headphones up? No, it wasn't on. Oh, your headphones wasn't on? No. Oh, okay. You didn't hear the intro? Help me, okay? I thought you heard the intro.

I didn't know you can hear. Okay, all right. I'm sorry. Appreciate the intro. Yeah, I heard it. Okay, let's get to the rumor part. There's been a lot of Drake slander in this studio. Where's your, Charlamagne, where's your...

My Palo Santo? Yeah, we need that. I don't have no slanderer in this studio. Where's your Charlamagne? Where's your... My Palo Santo? Yeah, we need that. I don't have no Slander for Drake this morning. Okay. Anyways, we have some good news about Drake, however. He has tied Michael Jackson. Well, I don't know. I guess it might not be good news for everybody.

But Drake has tied Michael Jackson on the Billboard charts. His record first person shooter. Anybody familiar? Oh, absolutely. That's the one with J. Cole, right? Yeah, I love it. Anyways, that song charted number one on the Billboard charts. His record, First Person Shooter. Anybody familiar? Oh, absolutely. That's the one with J. Cole, right? Yeah, I love it. Anyways, that song charted

number one on the Billboard Hot 100, officially tying him to Michael Jackson's record for the male act with the most number one records on the Billboard chart history. So they're at number 13.

Okay. They have 13 number ones on the Billboard Hot 100. Him and Michael Jackson. We're dropping the clues bombs for Drake. Drake will beat that though, but congrats to Drake. Yeah, he will. I actually saw him say that he beat it already, but for some reason

they didn't count Sickle Mode. Sickle Mode was number one, but they didn't count it for some reason. I don't know why. That's a question. Yeah, it's not. I don't see it on this list here. So I'm not sure. How are you feeling about though, you know, him tying with Michael Jackson, but times changing. You know, with Michael Jackson, of course, you had to go out.

You had a battle record. I mean, is it fair? Times change. I mean, he's still going to beat the record. You know, Drake is still a phenomenal artist. You can't take that away from Drake. Yeah, I know the first thing people say is Drake isn't no Michael Jackson. And the reality is he's not.

But Drake is Drake. And this is still an incredible feat. It is. Because if it wasn't someone else would have done it already nobody nobody's done it you know so he did it so salute to drake and he got cole his first number one and one of our producers uh brandon he said earlier he said drake only got that number one because of cole i will push back and say that's not true because drake got what seven of the top 10 records records on Billboard right now. And this is Cole's first number one.

Cole's done a lot of features and a lot of his own songs and never had a number one. I'm surprised all my life when Dirk was number one. I'm surprised, too. Actually, I mean, not to go through all of them, but God's Plan, of course, was one, which was a big one. Way Too Sexy was another one. I mean, Tootsie Slide, everybody was doing the Tootsie Slide. That was God's plan. Everybody was not doing the damn Tootsie Slide. playing of course was one which was a big one uh way too sexy was another one so i mean some

tootsie slide everybody was doing a tootsie slide that was garbage everybody was not doing the damn tootsie everybody was doing it your kids were doing it no they were not that tootsie slide came and went that was that's one of drake moe's trash records what was the number one nonetheless it was number one it did what it was supposed to do but it's because drake has such a huge fan base that is always so curious about his music. So Drake can put out a record and everybody, number one, everybody's going to run to scream it. And then radio is going to rush to play it. When you combine those two things, you're going to chart high. But let's not act like Tootsie Slide.

But I think that's dope. I think Tootsie Slide was for a demographic. It was. It was a lot of kids doing a Tootsie Slide. They were not. Yes, they were. It was a TikTok phenomenon. Just because you wasn't. Just because you wasn't.

Just because you wasn't. No, everybody was not doing the Tuesday slide. I didn't say everybody. I said there was a demographic that was doing it. There was some kids doing it.

I bet you you know it. They did it for like three days. But they did it. And those were probably pain. Yo, shut up, man. That's what I'm saying. Why y'all be making me hate? I was giving that man props.

No, it was you. People weren't doing the Tuesday slide. Y'all just got me on here telling the truth and y'all don't want me to tell the truth. It'd be fake props. Pull up Tuesday slide. Pull, it was you. People want to go to Tootsie Slide. Y'all just got me on here telling the truth, and y'all don't want me to tell the truth. It'd be fake props.

Pull up Tootsie Slide. Pull it up. Whatever. Tootsie Slide. Left foot up. But let's not focus on Tootsie Slide. Focus on Drake tying with Michael Jackson. Okay, but speaking of number ones,

like I said, Drake and Michael Jackson are tied with 13, but Rihanna is actually ahead, 14, number one. Mariah Carey with 19, and then, of course, the Beatles with 20. So I'm sure Drake will continue to climb, but that's what the records are looking like for the most. I mean, the guy's only, what, 36? Oh, okay. 36.

Yeah, because they're trying to call him old. I'm like, dang, 36 old now? He keep going at this pace, you know, with this type of fan base. He can break a lot of those records he will especially with the way screaming and stuff is set up yep yeah drake will always be drake that's my opinion drake fan here anyways uh prayers going out to dc can't even find i told him to get he found it god i'm sorry no no are we playing the tootsie slide no no no no okay okay so Prez went out

to DC Young Fly not sure if you saw or not but he did announce the death of his sister so he shared with us on social media that this is actually

his third loss over the past year he lost his cousin of course he lost Jackie O and so now he lost his sister so definitely want to send some major love

out to DC Young Fly always man for ever sending healing energy to DC Young Fly Prez up for his family prayers i saw that saw that yesterday and put one in the air you know he's definitely a strong dude strong dude um i also want to talk about hallie bailey i guess i have mixed feelings about talking about this because i'm like okay if she wants this to be a private thing i don't feel right talking about it but i mean it's out there uh she is in photos with ddg she has on like this big oversized sweater and anyway she obviously looks very pregnant in these photos

what do you i think you would know better than us i mean you know what a bump you got six kids what do you mean but um i i they say holly pregnant every two months well she had a photo that came out which i mean it could have been oh or whatever but she didn't look pregnant at all so i was kind of kind of been going back and forth about it this one definitely steals the deal i don't know you know if it's a privacy thing unfortunately because her life is not private i mean you know it is what it is i've had a pregnancy where i didn't want to tell the world. Y'all want her to have a little mermaid so bad. Every couple months, y'all say Holly Bailey is pregnant. I guess you just don't believe it until she says it.

That's his cousin. I don't know. I mean, I don't know. That's his cousin, allegedly. Did you see these photos? No, I didn't see them. But literally, there is a rumor every other month that she's pregnant. Am I making this up?

Well, it started two months ago. I feel like this seals the deal, however. But I don't know. We'll see. I guess. Maybe a little more may. Good luck to them. Fans have been reacting to the picture.

Anyways, if she is, congratulations to Halle Bailey. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for that rumor report. We bumping together. There you go. Charlemagne. Yes.

Who you giving that donkey to? Man, four after the hour. We need this police unit to come to the front of the congregation from nebraska i think that is sarpy county sheriff's office i feel like there's an unjust arrest out there that happened that we need to discuss for after the hour all right we'll get to that and you got to see slide all right we'll just play top of the hour we don't come on straight requested from charlotte play the play sexy no play rich baby daddy now that's the joint play a little bit of Tootsie Slide for Charlamagne.

Man, we don't need to. Nobody need Tootsie Slide. That's a waste of a spin. Play Rich Baby Daddy, man. That's the Breakfast Club. Rich Baby Daddy. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

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

Damn, Charlamagne, who got the Donkey of the Day today? Wow. Well, Jess Hilarious, Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, October 17th, goes to police officers in Nebraska. I think it's the Sarpy County Sheriff's Office. Today is the 17th, right? Yes, it's Donkey today for Tuesday, October 17th. Goes to police officers in Nebraska. I think it's the Sarpy County Sheriff's Office. Today is the 17th, right? Yes, it is. Now, an unjust arrest happened.

You know, unjust arrests happen all the time in this country. I have no problem with law enforcement locking up individuals who actually commit crimes. And everybody is innocent until proven guilty, in theory. But this arrest is simply not right, man. There's a 41-year-old man named Ryan Smith who was arrested for burglary, criminal trespassing and tampering with physical evidence. Serious charges. OK, nothing to play with at all. But I don't think he should have had the charges in the first place. See, Ryan works at a funeral home named Mid America First Call, and that company removes, transports and bombs and cremates bodies he's responsible for transporting dead bodies to and fro back and forth and last week he decided to have sex with a sex doll i know what y'all

thought i was gonna say you thought i was gonna say he was giving the stiffy to a stiff you thought i was gonna say he out here cutting corpse coochie giving that d to the dead no he wasn't doing that what had happened was he was having sex with a life-size sex doll that belonged to a dead man that he was transporting now according to w-o-w-t nebraska ryan and a colleague went to go collect the body of a dead man who died a natural death that man owned a life-size sex doll that caught the eye of ryan like ryan walked in the house he's going to get the dead body but he saw the sex doll he's like oh now ryan must have been thinking about this life-size sex doll all day long because he allegedly called the property manager of the apartment complex and claimed the sarpy county sheriff's office was sending him back to the unit

to collect the sex doll so it could be swabbed for a biopsy which the property manager found bizarre so of course he denied him the request well that didn't stop ryan oh that didn't stop old ryan ryan went back to help himself he went back into the dead man's apartment now i have a question is it trespassing if the person's dead hmm i see everybody in this room thinking about this question the person. The person lived by himself and he's dead. And he got no family?

And you know he's dead. And he ain't got no family? No longer there. Is that trespassing? And he ain't got no family? Think about this for a second. No. Well, yes.

If he has family. There's no family. It was just him. Then no. Because there's nobody to file charges. That's all I'm saying. Right? So it's not trespassing.

That's all I'm saying. So Ryan went back to this apartment because he knew that the tenant was no longer with us. All right? So I just want y'all to think about this. Is he trespassing if the person is dead? You think so, Monty? Who is he trespassing against? Because he ain't got no family, no kids.

That's what I'm saying. There's nobody there, but it's still not his place to go. Who's this? Who's this? Not his. That's all I'm saying. And I know for a fact the person ain't dead because I put him in a little freezer early. Yeah.

That's all I'm saying. Continue the story. This is getting good. Now, Ryan got busted by the property manager because the property manager heard noises coming from inside the apartment. Not noises. This is what it knows. coming from the apartment we got surveillance everywhere breakfast club can get all kind of audio and video

the apartment was dead bolted and locked with a chain you know but then ryan walked out with his clothing disheveled you you know, buckling up his pants. And he warned the manager he would return with a warrant for the doll. No. Yes. He fell in love. That's what I'm saying. How good is this rubber?

Boom, boom. Ryan went in there. He hit, probably didn't even wash it out either. That dead man been skeeting in that plastic doll for who knows how long. And Ryan just went back to the house and ran up in the rubber raw. And it was so good that when he got caught to the house and ran up in the rubber raw. And it was so good that when he got caught by the property manager, he told the property manager,

I'm coming back with a warrant to get that. All right. I will not be denied. God damn. Now the property manager called the police because he thought Ryan would come back, break in and steal property. Investigators arrived and noticed that several items inside the union had been moved since the death investigation earlier that day. And officers are planning to request dna samples from the doll and ryan was

fired from his job at the funeral home you know what i'm calling an audible i gotta call an audible on this one the police did their job all right round of applause to the police okay all right i didn't read this whole story ryan is getting donkier today. Because, Ryan, you could have just took a picture of the doll. Okay? You could have got the model number, the serial number, the brand name, whatever it was. You could have went and bought your own sex doll. You know how sometimes you look at a woman and that's a once-in-a-lifetime woman. You're like, man, I'll never see a woman like that ever again.

This isn't the case. Well, maybe it's expensive. He got a job. He got a job. He got a job. He works at a funeral home. You could have went and bought your own doll. Not only did you lose your job and put

plastic over your paper, do you know how nasty it is to be putting your Penix, your Penix Junior, into a sex doll that somebody else has already filled with their gentleman's relish? Please let Remy Ma give Ryan Smith the biggest hee haw. Hee haw, hee haw, you stupid mother f***er, you dumb. No. No what?

But you said when he walked in, you said he looked at the doll and the doll looked back at him. So you can't buy another doll. That's a connection that they had. Yeah, you stupid. If it's one thing we learned this year, you stupid. Really justifying this. He's stupid. He's stupid, man.

I'm joking. He's stupid. That's Lil Riri over there. That's what I call him, Lil Riri. That's Lil Riri over there. That's my brother, Riri, man. I'm joking. That's all right. He's stupid. That's Lil Riri over there. That's what I call him, Lil Riri. That's Lil Riri over there. That's my brother, Riri, man. Mama don't let me walk him to the playground by himself. I got to hold his hand.

Yeah, I mean, that is a little off, justifying the connection between us. I'm joking. If I let his hand go, he going to go running the highway and start playing with the cars coming. You know what I mean? Yeah, that's all right. Pray. You got to pray.

That's all right. That's what we pray for. We pray for Lil Riri. Make sure he got his helmet on, too. That's my Lil Riri. Hold my hand. You got to pray. That's what we pray for. We pray for Lil Reaview. Make sure you got his helmet on, too. That's my Lil Reaview. Hold my hand. I got to go to the bathroom. I'm going to take you.

I'm going to take you. Put your helmet on. I'll take you to the bathroom. I don't want you to hurt yourself on the way to the bathroom. Oh, my goodness. Now, that's very bizarre. Ryan is wild for that. Wild boy.

Yeah. Wild, wild boy. He definitely could have bought another one. You want to play a game? I want to play a game. Well, tell BET, Peace, and then we play a game. BET, I'll see y'all later. Peace, BET.. He definitely could have bought another one. You want to play a game? I want to play a game. Well, tell BET peace and then we play a game. BET, I'll see y'all later. Peace, BET.

All right, let's play a game of Guess What Race It Is. Ryan Smith, 41 years old, works at a funeral home, was transporting a dead body, but a sex doll caught his eye, so he went back to have sex with the sex doll. Oh, and he's from Nebraska.

Alright Let's get serious now Yes We got a guest coming in Yes Mark Lamont Hill in Mark Lamont Hill Professor Mark Lamont Hill he's written a book called

Except for Palestine he's absolutely for the liberation of the Palestinians and we had Jonathan Greenblatt head of the ADL here last hour and we'll just continue the discussion continue this conversation about Israel and Gaza and Palestine so we'll talk to him when we come back

so don't move it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed.

We got the brother, Mark Lamont Hill. Morning. Morning, y'all. Now, last hour, we had Jonathan Greenblatt here, the head of the ADL. And, you know, of course, he's, I would say pro-Israel. That's safe to say, right? Yeah. Yeah.

Yes. And, you know, Mark, I was thinking about all the people that I know who've been to Israel, been to Pakistan, who've been speaking about this issue for a long time. For a long time. And Mark has not only just been one of them, Mark has taken bullets, you know, for speaking out and being pro-Palestine. Yeah. Can you detail people of what's going on there from your view? Because you were there.

We'll get to that. Then you can talk about that so people can understand. No, let me reply to Jonathan first. Because people might not know. This is a new hour. They might not know what's going on. They connect. They connect.

Because Jonathan is replying to the events that have taken place in Israel and in Gaza over the last week or two. Correct. I think where he and I agree 100% is that this is an awful and unprecedented tragedy. There's no way to even wrap your mind fully around what it means for over a thousand people to be killed. Correct. The attacks that happened in Israel were devastating. As someone who believes in justice and as someone who believes in human rights and as someone who believes that international law and rules of war have to be followed i would say and i'm speaking for me and lots of other people i'm only representing my opinion right now that hamas's attack was a

violation of international law um as an organization rooted in islamic principles um it's also a violation of religious law uh to attack civilians to attack innocents even in times of war if i took the law off the table just basic decency i would say this is awful so we agree on that where we disagree very quickly is how we make sense of how we got here and what we do moving forward history didn't start on october 7th and oftentimes we see this in the united states when a target gets blown up or or set on fire or a police car gets flipped over or whatever we whether we agree or disagree with the action at that moment the media starts to say look at these animals look at these savages i can't believe they did that and if you were to come up from another planet and watch this you

would think that history started on ferguson the night that got set on fire you would think that the world just started at these moments when in fact there's a long history that gets you there Israel has been an apartheid state since 1948. 75 years. Yes. 75 years. It has been an occupying power since 1967. Right. 56 years.

Yeah. And it has been it has held the Gazan people in particular under siege since 2006. 17 years going on 18 in January. So these are the things that get you there. And the people of Gaza are catching hell. This isn't ordinary hell. This isn't normal, just inequality. We're talking about not having access to clean water or potable water, right? Not having access to schools,

being constantly under siege where you're getting bombed, you're getting shot at, you're vulnerable to premature death every single day. This is what they're dealing with for the last 17 years. And so when Hamas emerges

and engages in this act of violence, which is not excusable, because I don't want everybody to say, well, he's trying to excuse it. I'm not excusing. I'm saying it's inexcusable, right? But we have to understand where it starts. And you put people in an open-air prison which is what Gaza is it's an open-air prison you you have to expect people to respond at some point

so whose fault is the condition God then is it Hamas because haven't Hamas been in control since oh six so the Hamas oh yeah I mean it's the right question right and what Jonathan would say what a lot of pro-israel folk would say is well you know all the Jewish settlers left in 2005 and Hamas took over in 2006 and therefore whatever happens that's on y'all problem is Palestinians have not had one minute not one minute of self-determination in those 17 years. In other words, yeah, they left. It would be like if you were in a prison and they said, OK, all the guards left. But you're still in prison. We're still on the border of the prison.

You still can't get out of the prison. Right. You still don't have any more food. And we control it. Right. God, Israel controls Gaza by land, by air and by sea. It controls the population registry. It controls the electromagnetic sphere. It controls everything that goes in and everything that goes out. It is military. It is effectively controlling or effectively occupying Gaza just from the outside. And so, no, they haven't had an opportunity for self-determination. They haven't had an opportunity to build.

They are under occupation in a different way. But the same is the people in the West Bank. And it is a very very very different situation that's not to say that hamas is perfect there's lots of stuff about hamas i disagree with i disagree with religious rule in general and hamas is rooted again they come from as jonathan accurately said their roots are in the islamic brotherhood of egypt and they do have a a a vision of freedom that is rooted in Islamic principles. I happen to disagree with religious governments. I agree with that.

There's other critiques to have. There's critiques to have of every government. But it's important to acknowledge that Hamas is a government. And you can't have it both ways. Sometimes they'll say, well, Hamas is a terrorist organization. You can't talk to them. You can't deal with them. You can't do this.

You can't do this. And that kind of language makes it impossible to have a diplomatic or political solution. They make it seem as if the only thing you can do is blow them up because they're not a they're not a government they're not a government what is your thoughts with the u.s you know bringing the largest aircraft carrier or ship out to to show support of israel what are your thoughts on that what you're saying with all the things nobody said anything beforehand but now it seems like they're getting support of the u.s what's your thought and your thought? Part of the problem is a lot of us were right. Three point six or three point eight billion dollars a year goes from the United States to Israel. We fund the occupation.

And that's why Americans, if you're wondering why you should care, because you pay for it. This could not happen without anybody else's help. But the U.S. the U.S. has offered weapons. They've offered weapons to make sure that Israel always has the best weapons. They call a qualitative edge. They've made sure that technologies come through. We support this thing what the u.s is doing right now with the aircraft carrier is a very small drop in the bucket compared to what the u.s has done not since 1948 but certainly since the 1960s and 19 really the 1970s uh with regard to support for israel and and that's the

thing we should be outraged about we should be outraged at biden's response we should be outraged by many members of the u.s congress's response we should be outraged about. We should be outraged at Biden's response. We should be outraged by many members of the U.S. Congress's response. We should be outraged by lots of people. Again, you should have been outraged when those innocent Israeli children were killed. Their lives are worth something. They're worth the same as Palestinian because their lives are worth something. All of our lives are worth something. Right. But the outrage can't just be for Israeli kids. They got to be for kids in Palestine. They got to be for kids in Armenia. They got to be for kids in China, everywhere. But in this issue, it got to be for everybodyraeli kids they got to be for kids in in palestine they got to be for kids in armenia they got to be for kids in china i mean everywhere but in this issue it got to be for everybody on the table do you think it's because people are seeing it right now what but they're saying

palestinian kids die you know what it is it's the language that we use they they use a language of even when jonathan was talking respect respectfully there was a way that we start to talk about this is barbaric right when you start using words like barbaric, when you start to frame people as subhuman or inhuman, that is a deep problem. Now, Jonathan Goldblatt, Greenblatt, Greenblatt, excuse me. Jonathan Greenblatt rightly pointed out that there's a long history. He alluded to the long history of Jewish people being constructed as subhuman and as animal. We got more with Mark Lamont here when we come back it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj nv shalameen the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with mark lamont hill as he

breaks down what's happening overseas with palestine hamas in israel shalameen why do people have to be pro-israel or pro-palestine like i'm pro i don't want to see kids get killed i'm pro i don't want to see innocent civilians i'm anti-war like why does why do people have to pick this side like i don't understand like at this moment we can all say we don't want violence i agree you don't have to know about the issue and be like look i just don't want to see anybody die that's where i'm at at this moment i don't want to see another israeli child dead i don't want to see another palestinian child dead i don't want to see anybody die. That's where I'm at at this moment. I don't want to see another Israeli child dead. I don't want to see another Palestinian child dead. I don't want to see anybody die.

Not just children, adults. I don't want nobody to die. But the problem is, if you say that you are pro-Israel as it is currently constituted, then you are saying that you are in support of a government that is systematically colonizing people. That is systematically displacing people. That is systematically stealingacing people that is systematically stealing people's land that is systematically ethnically cleansing people as we see in gaza right now if those people leave gaza and can't come back they've been ethnically cleansed right um when you say you pro-palestine then they'll say you pro-hamas here's the difference if i say

i'm pro-hamas i'm saying i'm pro-hamas right? I can be pro Palestinian and support Palestinian self-determination and still disagree with Hamas. The problem is Israel as it is constructed, Israel as it is defined, Israel by its own definition is not a state of all of its citizens. By virtue of being a Jewish state and by virtue of giving people different rights based on whether or not they are Jewish, by virtue of the fact that palestinians have um different uh rights and privileges even those who are citizens of israel arab citizens of israel have different rights rules they'll say that's a lie there there there are palestinians in our kinesit they're palestinian members of the supreme court palestinians have the exact same rights there are about 60 laws on the books that that show a difference, either facially or in practice, in terms of how people get treated

based on whether or not they are Arab or not, even for Arab citizens of Israel. Right now, people in the West Bank don't have rights and freedoms. So the way Israel is constructed, it is by definition operating against the interests of Palestinian people. It would be like saying, I'm not anti-Indian I'm just pro United States

that'd be a hell of a thing to tell a Native American right because the United States by definition by its construction is created in a way that stomps on the rights of Native Americans here so I can't say to someone I can't look at Native American in the eye and say well I'm not I don't pick a side I'm neutral on this right

I like Native Americans and I love what america created like nah bro you gotta pick one on that right and so it doesn't mean though that i have to hate israelis or that i have to hate jewish people i don't hate either i want everyone to live in peace safety dignity self-determination and justice and that's important to be said can you explain the relationship between america and israel because you said you know america gives them four billion dollars a year why are they such strong ally it's it's a great question you know and it's a question that lots of people ask um you know it's a relatively so so initially the strongest supporter of israel was was was the were the british right um but then by this 1970s certainly 1980s and i talk about this in my book

except for palestine a lot and there's other people who write about this much better than me rashid khalidi has a book called the 100 years war uh nora adekat has a book called um uh injustice for justice for some excuse me justice for some and there's many others uh ilan papay and others i'd say read the palestinians before you read me um and israelis before you read me but um there's a way that the united states i'll get to the heart of it the u.s doesn't have feelings it has interests we watch violent atrocities happen in certain places and we don't say anything we watch a small atrocity and all atrocities are awful happen in other places. I'm not talking about Israel right now.

And we're outraged. Our outrage meter doesn't link to the it isn't doesn't directly correspond to what people did. It corresponds to what we need. Right. There's certain places where we got to go to liberate the women. Right. what we need right there's certain places where we oh we got to go to liberate the women right but that right now we're best friends with saudi arabia which has a gross human rights record particularly against women and you talk about beheadings look at saudi arabia right they killed

a journalist uh jamal khashoggi five years ago on the anniversary of that so we don't have we're selective israel operates as the united states's strategic outpost. So there's a friendly relationship between U.S. and Israel, but it also serves the U.S.'s military interests. Because the U.S. wants a stake in the Middle East just like everybody wants a stake in the Middle East. And now you have the opportunity to have a nation that's not brown. Let me be clear. Israel still has a majority of Mizrahi Jews there. I'm not suggesting that Israel is not a brown country and that Israel doesn't have brown Jews. The majority are Mizrahi jews that i'm not suggesting that israel is not a brown country and that israel doesn't have brown jews the majority are mizrahi at this point but my point

is is that israel at its founding isn't an arab country and so being able to have to be an arab territory and i have a arab a non-arab country there's your strategic outpost makes a lot of military sense it makes a lot of economic sense. It makes a lot of economic sense for the United States. And of course, for Israel, the United States serves a great purpose. It gives them military backing. It gives them money. Now, you know, there's a long history of the United States and the UK not wanting Jewish people here. So part of it was also animated by anti-Semitism.

It was almost as if they said, look, we'll allow Israel to exist because we don't want Jewish people here. So the same. So if you look at U.S. immigration law through the 20th century, they didn't want Jews here. They didn't want Irish people here. They didn't want Russians here. They lots of we were already here. No choice. was because they didn't want Jews in Britain because of anti-Semitism and the Americans didn't want them either. So part of the at the beginning was that we don't want them here anyway. And now they've they've they've surged strategic interest again. That's anti-Semitic. It's deeply problematic um but that's part of the origin story of why we got into these political relationships that we got into we have vlad up here and vlad was ah i hate that guy go ahead jesus christ i didn't want that reaction all right well did he have his badge on all right i know what he said i watch his show every day it was about calendron i know what he said i know what he said it's the one time he i agree i i actually hated to agree with him oh you agree

that they should say something yeah hell yeah they should say something really more talent I know what he said. It's the one time I actually hated to agree with him. Really? That they should say something? Yeah. Hell yeah, they should say something. Really? More Khaled than Drake. Because they never talk about social issues, ever. I know, and I have an issue with that.

I have an issue with anybody. I don't think every famous person has to say something about everything. But if your people are being exterminated, if your people are being executed, if your people are being killed, whatever the circumstances, I think you got to say something. He's like the most damn near the most famous Palestinian in the world. If I were the most famous black person, if any of us were the most famous black person in the world, the most famous black person in the world and black people were being killed in our country. And nobody said anything. I would be deeply disturbed. I don't know and so if and the difference is there's a lot of black people that can speak there are a a lot of people who are

jewish who can speak there's lots of people who are indian who can speak but how many people in the united states right now who are palestinian have the platform to count that maybe gg hadid maybe who spoke out right there's one or two people but in general there's not really a space for that so i'm not i mean it's not just california any iraq any any of them who palestinian any of them who have platforms should speak up and i and i and i'm not putting that just on palestinian i'm saying that for black folk too but i'm saying the stakes are even higher because there ain't but five palestinians in hollywood you know there's a million black folk so i just feel like you got to do it.

Yep, yep, yep. So this is what the fan had to say. Hey, ho, I'm taking that 500K. I ain't taking that dinner.

I know. The moment was a little too overwhelming for you. You know, that's all you can think to say. Okay. Alrighty. Well, speaking of overwhelming moments, I know. The moment was a little too overwhelming for you. You know, that's all you can think to say. Okay. All righty. Well, speaking of overwhelming moments, Mario, he is also trending right now because he recently gave his list of R&B Mount Rushmore artists. He listed Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and himself. I want to know your R&B Mount Rushmore.

I'm super curious to know. Beyonce, Michael Jackson, me. Okay, you? All right, you put a you in there. You know why I say that? Hold on, because I grew up listening to so many different types of music, and my mother and my grandmother. So I got like two generations of just soul music, you know, just great R&B,

you know what I'm saying, that I grew up to. So that's why I say my voice kind of, I can do a little bit of everything. I would say the fourth person would be, the fourth person would be Whitney Houston. Anybody else? Usher. Usher, oh my gosh. It's a lot. My Mount Rushmore could go like, it could go crazy.

It could go long, okay. It could go crazy. I'm not mad at any of those. And that's his personal Mount Rushmore. Yeah, I mean. I'm not mad. I'm not even mad at his personal mount rushmore yeah i mean i i'm not mad i'm not even mad at him saying himself like he should feel like that yeah he should absolutely feel like that but that's not your place to put yourself yeah that's kind of you know other people got to put those on there for you but other people got to put you put you on there for you but um i'm

not mad at that list i mean and mario is super talented. I just don't know if the catalog really aligns with the other names. You want to put him up there? No. And then for the four, I like that he said Usher. Why you say no like that? No. Because I do get why he would put himself up there. You're trying to be nice to one of your children.

I am. I know I am trying to be nice. You don't like this mommy? No. No. Always in mama mode. You can do a little better you can put something else on you ain't got nothing else to wear and so the last thing i want to talk about is funny marco

okay so he addressed the interview with g herbo and south side you know we've all had a moment in an interview where we've been in an awkward space at some point he was clearly in that space who uh funny marco oh no they said we've all i ain't never had an awkward moment but excuse me i create the awkward moments i sure had an awkward moment this morning when you called me out on my makeup and coming in here late but anyway all right so um so um like i said he interviewed g herbo southside his interviews of course they're known to be sarcastic you know know, a lot of dry humor. But fans are sharing that they think that G Herbo and Southside went a little too far with their jokes.

They were disrespectful to Funny Marco. And this is kind of a clip from that. If you guys became an Undertaker, who'd be Kane? Who'd be Undertaker? I'll be Undertaker. He'll be Kane. He'll be Undertaker. I'll be Kane.

What makes him Undertaker? He Undertaker. I gotta be Kane. What the f*** is I'm gonna be? If he Undertaker, who else I'm gonna be, dumb cuz I'm be if you undertake over who else I'm a beat dumbass Undertaker I'm You can be the referee no you the referee stupid I got this one. Target. Nowhere. Found it. Tarjay.

Let me see this stupid ass hat. That dumb ass. I don't do it. I didn't like that. I mean. Why are you laughing at? Who is laughing? What you.

Why are you smiling? You are laughing. You laughed when it first came on. You're still smiling about it now. What's funny? I see. I mean, I just see what Herbo and Southside was attempting attempting to do because they saw probably how offset handled bobby exactly that's what i was thinking about yeah and they know marco was the same type of personality so they

was on the offense with the jokes that's all but my thing is why go on if this show or the podcast whatever it's meant to be that why are you going on there to try to flip it on well i think marco learned well i don't think there's anything wrong with flipping it on the host you know what i mean but but i do think marco just uh marco just can't have no mercy with rappers marco you got to have like five or six in the tuck ready to go nuclear weapons but i think what happened now marco usually does marco's a good brother but i just didn't like where they threw the uh cup at him when they hit him hit him in the head with the cup did you see that i didn't see that they threw the cup at him when they hit him in the head with the cup. Did you see that? I didn't see that. I just saw when they took the hat.

Yeah, they threw the cup at him. I just didn't like that because Marco, you know, he does the sarcastic stuff but he's a good dude. Marco's a great dude. He's a good dude but it is what it is. And there's certain things Marco gotta be prepared for. Like Marco, you know they come in with the face jokes. You know what I'm saying? You know they gonna make jokes about you. Even the stupid and all that.

I just feel like it was extra. I don't think Marco cared about that and they called Marco ugly. Yeah, they did. And Charlamagne too. That's the advice from me. I'm, I just feel like it was extra. I don't think Marco cared about that. And they called Marco ugly. Yeah, they did. And Charlamagne too. That's the advice for me. I'm dealing with some right now.

What kind of you dealing with? Let us know. You know, let us know. The first thing I would. No, let's see what he's going to say.

No, wait, skincare. You need to do that. I'm getting that taken care of. Me and Charlamagne are going to finish. You and who?

Charlamagne. Both of y'all are ugly as ****. Y'all got to do that together. Yeah, he ugly as ****. Yeah, and look, you need that because Charlamagne and I are the same **** I don't pay attention to lies. If you were bald right now, how would you look? Damn. I'm going to have some clippers so we can cut your hair off and see how you look bald. How do you feel about being called ugly? Well, I don't pay attention to lies. You know what I'm saying?

Because we know you more as chestnuts. Come on now. Don't you start chatting. Come on now, honey. You see what I'm saying? My face speaks for itself. You see me? Cap.

You see me? Cap. Okay, well, let me just say what he did respond, Funny Marco. He went on social media to say, I understand a lot of y'all made about the interview. I was upset while it was going on. So he was upset. He said, but he understand he had a job to do. And, you know, he want people to respect his show.

And so he's, you know, thanks everybody for supporting him. And he said he learned something moving forward. I would like to know what he learned. But also don't let people see you sweat. I wouldn't have tweeted that. That's a conversation that you have behind the scenes with people that you trust. You don't tell the public that. Because now, when you're doing your thing and you're being the sarcastic Marco, people may not take you as serious as they once did because they know that you probably can dish it but can't take it.

That's what I would tell the good brother Marco. Shout out to Marco. Shout out to Marco. Thank you, my ugly co-worker. You can keep saying that, but let me see you without that Just For Men in your face. You will not come to work without that Just For Men on your face. Why not? You'll never let those grays show.

Why not? Never. Because you're insecure about them. I can do what I want to do. You're insecure about those grays. I'm happy. You don't like being beige and gray. I can be beige and gray.

Don't come in one day without the Just For Men. You don't rule me. You can't tell me what to do. You can't break my you can't tell me what to do you can't break my soul not with the neck you can't break my soul you can't break my soul you can't break all right thank you for that I'll give you all a joke later. You better not. I'm going to human resources on both of y'all. Or cheer y'all. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Monty Mills is our guest co-host this morning. And this morning we had Jonathan Greenblatt, director of the Anti-Defamation League,

and also Professor Mark Lamont Hill on the show, talking about everything that's going on in Palestine and Israel. And a lot of people called, so we're going to take some of your calls. So let's go right to the voicemail. My name is Jo. I am from North Carolina. And I was just calling to say I appreciate you guys for having both sides of the Israel and Palestine conflict, but I would like to see you guys actually fact-check some of the information that they say.

With Mr. Jonathan Greenblatt, he did make a statement about babies being beheaded, and that has already been debunked. So if you guys can just make sure you fact-check some of this information just so, you know, because a lot of people in our community use you guys as a source for information. So I appreciate you guys. Thank you. My name is Terrence and I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio. And I feel America been helping Israel commit genocide on the Gaza Strip since for 12 years. Yeah, my name is Rush. I'm from Florida. And my thoughts on this matter are aligned with what you guys are saying right now.

I have not heard anybody up to now put it more correctly than what you're saying. What you're saying needs to be shouted. It needs to be screamed. Most of the people in this country don't understand what the reasoning behind all of our support is. And, you know, unfortunately, everyone's been brainwashed. And it's a crazy situation that we're in. And absolutely Hamas should not be supported, not be, you know, thankful for what they did because it's disgusting. But the Palestinian people should not suffer.

They've been suffering all these years. And it's disgusting to think all of a sudden now the U.S. is throwing all the support behind them and labeling them all as under this one umbrella of terrorists. And, you know, the world doesn't know any better. I've been crying for days about this. It's just disgusting. All right, well, that was just some of the calls taken off the voicemail. Now, when we come back, we got the positive notes. So don't move.
