I got to call somebody. That's all I can do for you is call somebody.

All right. When we come back, let's get the show cracking. We got our front page news. Fauci testified yesterday before Congress yesterday. He had a lot to say. I was a little confused because some information came out over the weekend, and it was changed up on Monday. But we'll ask Morgan when we come back.

All right, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy We are the Breakfast Club I'm at the point where I just want to create my own playlist For the music for the Breakfast Club, is that okay? Is there a way I can do that on like the iHeartRadio app?

Like listen to the Breakfast Club and create my own music around it? I would like that, is there any way? Well, people would go off Listening to the Breakfast Club You're still listening on the iHeartRadio app You're still a listener Why don't we just change the music here and not say nothing?

Okay. That would be good too. I'm fine with that too. Just don't say nothing. I'm fine with that. Next time, just let us know whatever song you want to hear. I'm fine with that.

All right. Well, let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning, y'all. Peace, Morgan. Hey, y'all. Hey. So as you mentioned,

Envy earlier, yes, the nation's former chief medical advisor, Dr. Anthony Fauci, was back on Capitol Hill yesterday for his first public appearance. His first public testimony since retiring from public service. Fauci insisted that he's always been open to the theory pandemic and accused him of trying to cover up links to China because he helped fund experiments at the infamous Wuhan lab. Let's hear from Fauci. No, it wasn't you. It wasn't what you were funding. What I'm saying is that I cannot account, nor can anyone account for other things that might be going on in China. So Republicans say that the six feet apart social distancing recommendation by federal health officials was arbitrary and not based on science.

Fauci insisted that the six foot guidance did not come from him, but the CDC, and he just merely repeated it. Now, Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene slammed Fauci for his guidance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Let's hear from her. Children all over America were forced to wear masks. Healthy children forced to wear masks, muzzled in their schools. And then they were forced to learn from home because of your so-called science and your medical suggestions. But this was nothing we've seen before so how would

somebody be prepared for something they've never seen before but not muzzled yo exactly i i agree mv so yeah there is there's there but she was right there was no science behind it um which basically meant that there were no clinical trials to back up the fact that six feet will actually work. Mask will actually work. Things of that nature. So Fauci did say that public health officials will take a closer look at the cost benefit ratio of things like vaccine mandates and, you know, those type of guidances.

But Republicans are looking for are suggesting that Fauci attempted to evade public records laws and they're demanding he turn over private emails and phone records. It's just kind of getting out of hand. Well, let the record show down south elders and Caribbean elders had better remedies and ideas to stay healthy than they did. I could have made that up. Stay with, hey, somebody's sick. Stay away from them.

Get as far away from them as you can. If not as far away as you can, then six feet. Cover your mouth when you cough. Instead of your hand, use a mask. But didn't the Republicans' leaders say Clorox may work? Didn't he say that one time? Oh, come on now. Shut up. But he did say that. But they're going at Fauci. Man, knock

it off. Dr. Fauci is the actual doctor. You should have listened to Trump anyway. Trump, what are you talking about? Because they're arguing with Dr. Fauci saying all the things that he did that was wrong, but their leader actually told people to take Clorox. Dr. Fauci is the actual doctor that people were supposed to be listening to. Him and the CDC. It has nothing to do with...

You should have been listening to Trump. Trump should have been listening to them. Actually. Actually. That's what he should have been doing. And remember when folks used to get in trouble for saying COVID came out of a lab in China? Yes. Remember when that used to be a controversial thing to say?

You'd get canceled. Remember that? Yes. I hate it here. I really do. Well, speaking of former President Trump, he will likely not have his election interference trial before the 2024 election. A Georgia appeals court is scheduling oral arguments in Trump's case to have Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis removed as the prosecutor. A notice sent to defense counsel shows the date is tentatively set for October 4th. A judge said her affair with former special prosecutor in the case was inappropriate and allowed for the appeal to proceed.

So that one is a point for Trump in that regard. And new research shows that fathers are more at risk for issues later in life than men without children. Y'all dads, right? Research found that later, found later that heart issues, excuse me, were particularly noticeable in men who became dads at 25 years of age or younger.

The causes aren't really spelled out, but researchers suggest that the stress of parenthood could make it more difficult for men to maintain a healthy diet and healthy lifestyle and continue with exercise and things of that nature. The study is published in the AJPM Focus. I didn't become a dad until I'm 29, so I'm good. I had my first one at 22, 23. I'm in trouble. I didn't have my first baby until I was 29 years old.

I had my first at 23. She'll be 16 this month. All right. Well, that is front page news. Thank you, Morgan. Thank you. I'll see you next hour. All right.

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my country? My forefathers did that themselves.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.

This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my face was quote-unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure.

Listen to A Slight Change of Plans on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Check out his poetry. All right, brother. Have a good one. Thank you. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

And let's get to Jess with the mess. Your news is real, brother. Your lines, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying.

She don't scare nobody. Worldwide jest. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club. She's a culture shit. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it off. So Young Miami speaks on City girls going their separate ways she sat down with a

Complex and she spoke on why her and JT decided, you know to not really call it quits, but do things on her own I think when the city girls albums just dropped in it and do too well And we was just like trying to do our first one, you know The whole rollout of the album was just so bad because we was just in two different spaces Mm-hmm, you know like we older now and it was just like she was doing her own thing she on the west coast i'm in miami i'm doing my own thing and i felt like naturally when she doing her own thing it just worked for her and when i'm doing my own thing it worked for me but when we get together as a group it just wasn't connecting like it just wasn't working no more so i think we both was at a point where we was just like

we probably should just do our own shit. Yeah, so there was always speculation that the City Girls were done with the actual group, but it was no real confirmation. It seemed like the opposite, though. It seemed like when they come together, the records are bigger, I think. Yeah, I feel like it's a disconnect between...

Between them personally. I don't know if it's between them personally, but more so their team or the label or somebody. Because they always deliver to me anyway with the music. But then is there something that doesn't connect them? I think it's the other way around. I think it's them personally.

I feel like they don't connect or they ben stop being in sync with each other. And in business, like the music, they thrive through their music together what are you doing no i was thinking about their choreography because you said they're not together but i was like man i remember they used to be on stage and they do a little thing where they go to side to side so that's what i think i think to me right in music like when they

are the city girls in business like i, I think they make more sense together. Oh, I see what you're saying. They're bigger together in music, but, like, personally, it's probably like, uh, no. But even the Usher record. The Usher record was dope. I don't think it caught on like it was supposed to. I thought that was a dope record. They had a lot of dope records on their album, and I just don't think connected.

No, just right. Because JT is, like, the focus on just the music. JT likes to rap yeah but then you know young miami wants to do all other stuff the podcast and the tv show and everything else that ain't really jt thing yeah yes i agree with i got to see what you're saying and they make that very clear they just show that you know without even saying that um is our tv show still coming young miami um i'm not sure she listens every morning salute the young miami love her is the tv show still coming, Young Miami?

Let the people know. Gotta let us know, girl. She listens to us on 105.3 to beat. Yep, in Miami. In Miami. Shout out. But yeah. No, 103.5 to beat.

It's 103.5. It's 103.5 to beat. Yeah, in Miami. But I'm happy that she could be transparent to, you know, because that's always been a question. And then the fans make it so much bigger. They amplify it, you know, because that's always been a question. And then the fans make it so much bigger. They amplify, you know, because we still have City Girls fans. And then we got Young Miami fans and JT fans.

So I'm glad that she shed some type of light on it. Kanye is being sued by former assistant. So Kanye West's former executive slash personal assistant, Lauren Pesciata, is suing him for sexual harassment. According to a lawsuit, Kanye hired her in July of 2021 after meeting her when she was when he was putting together his fashion line. She claims that she was a successful OnlyFans model making one million dollars a year. But after but a year after joining Kanye's team, he allegedly approached her saying that he wants her to be more godlike and that he would pay her a million a year if she quit OnlyFans. So she agreed. She claims that shortly after that, Kanye started to send her

inappropriate text messages. The messages are described to be very vulgar and use explicit language. I'm just going to read one of them. It said, is my wiener racist? It is. This effing racist wiener of mine. i'm going to beat this effing racist wiener for being effing racist i'm gonna stare at pictures of white women with black asses and beat

the s out of my racist wiener um she also jesus she also claims that he would masturbate during their phone conversations and would ask if she could hear or guess what he was doing. It would be Massabeat. Massabeat. Okay. He was also reportedly obsessed with the penis size of all her boyfriends. Yeah, the lawsuit says that

she received several sexual photos and videos of Kanye. She claimed he later promoted her to chief of staff with a $4 million a year salary. But she was fired in October 2022. She claimed Kanye offered her a $3 million severance package but never paid it. So she's suing for breach of contracts, sexual harassment, wrongful termination, and hostile work environment. First of all, there was a lot there.

A lot. He told the woman to get off OnlyFans, allegedly, to be more godlike. Godlike. And he would pay her. Yeah. That's like back in the day, you go in the script club and say, you don't have to do this. You ain't got to do this anymore. I got you.

You ain't got to do this. I got you. And he said his penis, is his penis racist? It's racist. And he's going to beat his racist penis. That's what he said. He's beat it while oh he's gonna punish it for being racist punish it for being racist while they're on the phone yes no that was a text oh and they during their phone conversations he would masturbate and ask her if she could guess like guess what i'm doing guess what what? Race my penis in. Right, right.

That sounds like a terrible ball he would try to put in a rap. Yeah. Like, I can see him trying to make that go in a rhyme scheme. Mm-hmm. So, that's,

allegedly, she has suffered or whatever. But look, when he hit up, like, all right, I'm a, when he promote her

to chief of staff with the $4 million salary, she was like, all right. $4 million and $3 million severance? Yep. She was like, all right. Then he turned around and fired her. He fired you. And offered to pay her $3 million severance.

And he never paid. I know she made it. Oh, so she's showing off. Okay, I get it. So if there's a contract, it's cut and dry. She's going to be owed some money. Yeah. Pretty much.

Here's my penis. Racist. Do white women going to be owed some money. Yeah, pretty much. Here's my penis. Racist. Do white women want to taste it? I can see that coming right past. I can see that being put in the rap right now. Well, that was just a mess. All right. Thank you, Jess.

Let's get back in some Front Page News. Morgan, good morning. Morning, morning. How y'all doing? How you feeling? Peace, Morgan. We're all good. Yeah, so let's get into some crazy news this morning.

The social platform X now allows pornography with some restrictions. Now, if you know you know to some extent this is not new but i'm not going to get too much into that the elon musk led company formerly known as twitter shared an official update to its usage policies it says you may share consensually produced and distributed adult nudity or sexual behavior provided it's properly labeled and not prominently displayed. The update adds that X believes users should be able to create and share material with sexual themes as long as it's consensual.

It calls it a legitimate form of artistic expression. And don't complain about it if you still on X, okay? Because that's what y'all love to do. Y'all love to complain about Elon Musk. Y'all love to complain about what's on X. But y'all's what y'all love to do. Y'all love to complain about Elon Musk. Y'all love to complain about what's on X. But y'all steady over there letting them tweets fly.

Are they called tweets still because it's not Twitter? I don't even know. What do you call them? They call them X's? It seems like they have a problem with money if they're starting

to do things like that. They want more people to go to the site. Just make sure your kids are off of the app. That's the thing. That's what it seems like. I haven't been on X

since 2018. If you see anything from me on X, that's my promo team posting stuff. I don't go over there. Same. Save the kids from X. Anyways, well, meanwhile, primary election season is still underway, and voters will head to the polls in five states today. Primaries are being held in New Jersey, Iowa, Montana, New Mexico, and South Dakota.

Montana Republicans will select their nominee to take on Democratic Senator John Tester, who's considered one of the most vulnerable Democrats in this election cycle because they are looking to fill more seats. Republican candidate Tim Sheehy was endorsed by former President Trump in February. In New Jersey, Congressman Andy Kim is expected to be embattled Senator Bob Mendez for the Democratic nomination for Senate. As Mendez is facing trial on federal bribery charges. Mendez, meanwhile, is reportedly trying to save his seat by running as an independent. Make sure y'all register to vote. Thank you, Morgan. That's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood. Follow me on social at Morgan Media and you can follow more news coverage at

Black Information Network and BINnews.com. All right. And when we come back, we have the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, joining us. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

We have our sister Angela Rye with us this morning. Yes, indeed. And we've got a special guest in the building, Governor Josh Shapiro. Welcome. Good morning. How are you feeling this morning? Good morning, Governor. Feeling real good.

Working hard, feeling good. You're not related to Ben Shapiro, are you? Hell no. No, man. He said that fast. That's a visceral reaction. Man, every so often, you know, when he says some crazy thing, we got to go tweet, hey, just a reminder, I'm not related to him.

Okay. some crazy thing we gotta go tweet hey just a reminder i'm not related to okay you know i have a short list of people who i would like to see you know run for president one day and you are on that list is that something you have aspirations of doing first off i i appreciate that you take some note of the work we're doing in pennsylvania like sincerely it means a lot to me i'm all in for joe biden and and i think this is a moment where we've had some conversations you've you know candidly you've pushed the party you've pushed others to maybe I'm all in for Joe Biden. And I think this is a moment where we've had some conversations. You've, you know, candidly, you've pushed the party. You've pushed others to maybe think about some things that we hadn't thought about in the past. But we're locked. And this is a binary choice between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure

Joe Biden gets elected. Listen, I hear the conversation. I hear the chatter. I hear the noise. I'm humbled by it, truly. But honestly, I don't wake up at night in the middle of night thinking about it. I wake up in the middle of night thinking about the work I'm doing for Pennsylvania, the work I got to do as governor. And I think if you stop thinking about that, if you stop thinking about your responsibilities, then you don't serve the people of Pennsylvania well. And that's my focus. Before we get into the questions, how did you get here? How did you get into public service? What made you say this is something I want to do? Was it something that was done wrong by your family? What got you to this position and said, I want to run in this crazy politics? You know, look, I grew up in a comfortable middle class home. My mom, a school teacher, she was a public school teacher in Philly till she had me and my siblings. And she was an educator later in her life. My dad was just like the local pediatrician, the local baby doc. They were very focused on helping others. And also, as I said before, you know, Charlemagne, faith played a really central role in our lives.

Every Friday night, we were around that Sabbath dinner table, something my wife and I continue to do for our kids today, grounding us in our faith and our faith that teaches us to go out and work for others. And so I didn't grow up thinking I wanted to be in politics. in our faith and our faith that teaches us to go out and work for others and so I didn't grow up thinking I wanted to be in politics I certainly didn't grow up thinking I was ever gonna be governor but I did grow up thinking I had a responsibility to others I had work I needed to do for others my parents instilled that in me in an early age wasn't till later in life actually in

college where I thought I was gonna be a doctor like my dad and I flunked out of pre-med I was on the basketball team there got cut from the basketball team both things happened in the exact same day and I thought my life was over right and then literally that night someone knocked on my dorm room door and said hey you should run for student government I'm like why would I ever want to do that it was like never on my mind as I look back on that pivotal day which sort of set me on this path I realized the truth is service was always there for me i just didn't exactly know how i was going to do that service so that's how it happened for me one of the things that we know shapes public policy often are the things that we see on tv there's um a show that's very popular out of philadelphia

right now abbott elementary it's the one show I'm going to watch religiously. Yes. And of course, Quinta Brunson is creator. You talked about your mother being a public school teacher. How influential has that show? How has that been for you, given your own connection to the public school system? Of course, you had a billion dollar increase in the budget this year to go towards basic education in Pennsylvania. Yeah. Look, I'm proud as governor that we fought hard and successfully got done the largest increase in public education in the history of

Pennsylvania. And by the way, I did that being the only governor in the entire country with a divided legislature. So I got a Senate led by Republicans, House led by Democrats. Fun fact, there's only two divided legislatures in the whole country. That's the Congress of the United States. They don't get a whole lot done. And the Pennsylvania legislature. So we fought hard for that.

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.

I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that?

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves, for self-preservation and protection. it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

So, y'all, this is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it.

Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone.

The tip of the cap is another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a woman. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

I think what Abbott Elementary means to me or sort of says to me, and I realize it's sort of different for everybody, is it shows the struggles. It shows the inequities, but it also shows the love that these teachers, that these administrators have for these kids and the love that kids have back. And I think, isn't that the story of so many schools that, you know, these kids being able to do well, these teachers being able to do well, despite the fact the government hasn't always been there for them in an equitable manner. That's one of the biggest challenges we're facing in Pennsylvania, which is not just the dollars that go to school, which is important, right? And I'm proud of the money we put in, but the distribution formula, and I hate to kind of nerd out on you here, but I got too many kids learning who were learning on empty bellies.

I mean, you think about yourself. You can't do this show without breakfast, without your coffee, without whatever. Yeah, and so we have big problems that I fought hard and successfully got universal free breakfast for kids. And I had, you know, some people saying, well, kids should eat at home. Well, you know what? There are some kids who can't eat at home.

And so we got to be there for them. Same thing with mental health. I know that's a huge issue for you. It's been a big issue for me. I campaigned on it. I talk about it every day. We got a new $100 million. It's about to hopefully go and grow to a $200 million fund

just to allow schools to hire mental health counselors, have mental health resources online for kids. We got to solve these problems for our kids, and we've got to drive the dollars out in a more equitable way so students have a shot. I believe in making sure Pennsylvania is a place where everybody's got the freedom to chart their own course and the opportunity to succeed. That starts in our classrooms. I had a question about some of the gun violence I hear a lot in Pennsylvaniasylvania what's being done to make sure we slow that down or even stop that and and i see a lot of uh i see a lot of drug use in pennsylvania i mean i'm seeing all over the country but i do see a lot in in parts of brooklyn i see it i see

parts of them in philly where it's almost looked like people look like zombies like they're so strung out what what's being done to make sure we take care of that? Yeah. Look, you got this dangerous combination on the streets in Philly and elsewhere, as you said, Envy, between those who are battling the disease of addiction. And my words are purposeful. Addiction is a disease, not a crime. Correct. Those who are battling mental health challenges and too many damn guns on our streets infecting these neighborhoods and

our kids with these poisons that we're claiming too many lives so i've been a prosecutor i've done that work but i also understand if you're actually going to make our community safe you've got to invest in treatment you've got to invest in mental health and one of the things i'm real proud of as governor is you also got to invest in community-based efforts to reduce violence. So yeah, we're hiring more cops, and I'm not ashamed to say that, and challenge me on that if you want, but we're also investing hundreds of millions of dollars in violence prevention money. Money for community groups, money for church groups, money for the folks that are doing the hard work of, ideally with kids, keeping guns out of the hands of kids showing them a way to resolve their

disputes without picking up a gun understanding that when you pick up that gun in the first place we've probably failed that child and that generation if we let them think that that's the answer to their problems so we got a lot of work to do and my bottom line here is you got to come at it in a multidisciplinary way it's law enforcement it's community groups it's mental health it's drug treatment it's all of that we're seeing some progress listen i'm not going to come on your radio show and say we're out of the woods by any stretch but we are seeing some progress in the data that said if you're a mom that lost her kid let me tell you something the data doesn't matter to you no matter how good it it good it's getting.

So we got to keep at it. We got to keep investing. We got to keep doing this hard work. A couple of police officers, though. I agree with all the investments you're making in mental health and fighting drug addiction, but why more police officers?

Because people will say more police officers don't essentially make streets safe. I think police officers need to be properly trained. They need to look like the communities that they are sworn to serve and protect. And we've got to make sure there is order in our communities. You go walk through

these communities, as I do, and you listen to folks in communities. They want more police. Now, they want their constitutional rights protected, but they want to make sure that if somebody's wreaking havoc on their block, that order is restored. And I think you do that by making sure you hire police, again, properly trained, look like the communities are sworn to protect, hold them accountable if they break the rules, but make sure that you've got order, you've got peace, you've got security

in the neighborhood. If a neighborhood isn't safe, kids can't learn. If a neighborhood's not safe, families can't thrive. Small businesses can't open. Small businesses can't do well. So you've got to make sure you create that safety. Safety is not only coming from police, but safety is coming from a multitude of the investments like I was talking about before with Envy.

All right, we got more with Governor Josh Shapiro. When we come back, the governor of Pennsylvania is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess O'Leary, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Our sis Angela Rye is with us this morning, and we're kicking it with Governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro. Let me ask you a question.

You know, we talked about guns before, right? And the law has changed in the last five years, right? Very lenient when it comes to guns, right? So I'm reading it now, and it says, Pennsylvania is an open-carry state without a permit, and Pennsylvania does not limit the type of weapon which a person may possess. It could be a handgun, rifle, shotgun, or assault weapon. What are your thoughts on the fact that it's been so lenient in the last five years? I mean, at one time you could not own a

gun in New York and New Jersey. And now with the right permit, you can carry it anywhere you need to. Yeah. And to be clear, if you're going to conceal carry, you need a permit. Right. Open permit for non-concealable conceal. You need a permit. But it's a lot easier now. Before, it was almost impossible. I think the key here is keeping guns out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them. Criminals, youth, making sure we've got universal background checks. That's something I've been pushing for for some time. Understanding that we can both, and this is a big deal. This is something I deal with every day as governor of Pennsylvania.

We can respect the heritage of those who hunt in our rural communities and are responsible gun and appreciate the fact that that mom in north philly doesn't want to see her kid get shot when he's walking home from school and you can accomplish both without restricting the rights of either of those individuals and and those that represent. It is really important that we have these honest conversations. Now, again, I got this divided legislature, right? So it's real hard to get stuff like this done, but we've been having more and more honest conversations about that. I go in these rural communities. I talk to these mostly Republican-leaning Pennsylvanians, and I say to them, I'm not here to take away your gun rights, but we can all agree these

guns shouldn't be in the hands of kids. These guns shouldn't be in the hands of criminals. And you know what? They agree. And so what I'm trying to do is bring about some more common sense when it comes to our gun laws in Pennsylvania. I think it's a model for where we need to go in this country. There's a lot of things that you've done that I like, man.

The probation reform with Meek Mill, the Clean Slate 3.0. Can you talk to those? And the criminal justice reform, can you talk to some of that stuff? It's been a big priority of mine. You might think it's sort of strange. Hey, wait, a guy who is a prosecutor is also now leading an effort on criminal justice reform and second chances. Look, I think Pennsylvania needs to be a place. I think America needs to be a place where everybody's got the freedom to chart their own course, the opportunity to succeed. It starts in our classrooms. It goes for our small businesses. For some, it goes through a union trade hall. For others, it goes to the military. We got to create economic opportunity for people. But for those that

we fail, for those who didn't get a chance, for those who get caught up in the criminal justice system, we also have to have a heart that believes in second chances and i do the legislation the historic legislation that i worked on with me that i worked on with others in the legislature who did incredible work on this folks like jordan harris joanna mcclinton tony williams and others it says what our values are in pennsylvania that we're forgiving that we believe second chances, that we want to make sure you can get back up on your feet and get a shot to start your small business. Go on your kids' school trip, whatever it may be. And I couldn't have been more proud and, frankly, more emotional to sign those bills into law. So now we wipe out.

That's the clean slate part. Wipe out part of or some of your prior offenses to give you a chance to get back up on your feet. We basically cap the amount of time you can be on probation. Look, Meek brought attention to this by virtue of the fact that he was having technical violations that were landing him back in prison. Understand, people literally aren't breaking the law. They are not committing another crime and then they were being sent back to jail because of these technical violations.

That's crazy. He was trying to take his son to school. Yeah. So that is now that has now been addressed. We've got these what I'd call sort of a soft cap and opportunity for those not to end up behind bars, not to end up not being able to provide for your family. It's really, really meaningful stuff. And by the way, Meek deserves a lot of credit. He and I have become really good friends over a number of years.

We've had a lot of raw and honest conversations. And if he wasn't willing to put himself out there and share of himself and be vulnerable, which is not something any of us like to do, and certainly he didn't like to do, but as a result of him being out there, he's helping a whole lot of people whose names are not Meek Mill, who aren't famous, who don't have audiences necessarily with the governor or with other elected officials. And I think Pennsylvania is a more just place because of his contributions and the hard work of many of us. You talked about being all in for Joe Biden. And of course, last week, there was some groundbreaking news,

historical news that came out with our former president having 34 criminal indictments. A lot of folks have been talking about the need for Joe Biden to pardon Donald Trump if that were to come up with the federal cases.

What is your posture on that, given the fact that you are responsible for balancing a divided state legislature yeah well first off just i'll i'll be a legal nerd here for a sec i'm sorry to sorry to do that but he was convicted in a state court so any pardon joe biden could give wouldn't matter because federal charges right that'd be a federal charge and who knows if they're ever gonna come to fruition prior to the election um here's what i think we need to remember you know for as challenged as our system can be sometimes um this was a case that was decided by 12 ordinary americans 12 of donald trump's's fellow Americans heard all this evidence. They considered the law as presented to them. They made sure that they were diligent in their

deliberations. And they found unanimously 34 times that he broke the law. And I think, you know, whatever your politics are, we like Donald Trump, don't like Donald Trump. We have to respect the process. I've seen the process up close again as attorney general for all of its flaws juries work and juries need to be respected in our system and so i think the jury should have obviously he's got a right to appeal he'll have his appeals he'll be heard by other courts but i think the work of juries needs to be respected here you think the Trump conviction is going to cause political retaliation in the courts? Because even jury selection begins in the Hunter Biden trial. Do you think that it will be a tit for tat type thing?

I want to say no, because I believe in the system. No, no, I'm not trying to bulls**t you. I really believe in this system. But you believe in that other party, the MAGA version of that party. It is my hope that judges, juries, prosecutors, defense attorneys will ultimately do the right thing, which is just simply follow the facts, follow the evidence, and render a fair judgment. What scares me about Donald Trump is the way he wants to weaponize our justice system and use it against his enemies. They've said it.

He has. The way he says, literally, he wants to be a dictator. Let me ask you, you don't have to be a great student of history to know. Think about all the dictators that have lived

throughout history. You know, how many minority groups do well under a dictator? Not many, right? Minorities get screwed when there are dictators and Donald Trump

has promised to be a dictator. This guy's extremist. He is dangerous. He is someone who is out there to exact revenge we don't do well when that happens and so i think while i believe in the system and that's why i kind of paused when you asked that not not that i was trying to evade your question but like i want

to believe in the system but i'm scared to death if he's in charge of the system and the way he might try and use it to exact revenge. But you talked about the system holding. And so where do you find the balance in critiquing the system that you so believe in, right? And saying, this is an absolute no, but let me tell you where we can improve. I do believe in the system, but I also know the system is flawed. Let me give you a concrete example. And I saw this up close and personal. What I routinely saw where there was a breakdown where there was an

injustice done is where someone didn't have access to legal counsel where a defendant was showing up in court basically with one arm tied behind their back because they didn't have a good um a good lawyer because my view is if you got a fair fight then that's a big part of making sure that the system works still got to deal with bias you still got to deal with personalities, things like that. But you got to at least start with that fair fight. And now we are beginning to have that in Pennsylvania by virtue of the funding for indigent defense. That's a concrete example.

And that also says to someone, maybe who has never been involved in the system, hey, I can have a little bit more faith in this process. I can have a little bit more faith in how the systems work and make it just a little bit better. We got more with Governor Josh Shapiro, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yep, we are

The Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Jess Larry, Charlemagne the guy. We got Angela Rye with us this morning as we're kicking it with the Governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro. Charlemagne? Another thing that you do that I love, you know, in regards to messaging, you have the community text number. Yeah. For people who have questions and comments do you read all those texts i read a lot of them

i i'd be lying if i told you i read them all and i get sort of i have my team give me a you know a sampling i'm and by the way good ones bad ones ones with questions one where someone got help one where someone didn't get help and we're constantly working to change that look i think in government there should be no wrong door to reach your elected representatives your governor your mayor your representative you name it we shouldn't have to force the public to bend toward the way we do it we need to bend toward that's right and so if they want to text me great i'm going to listen it's another reason why i don't just stand up at you know the press conference in front of the podium with the seal, the whole thing.

I do some of that. But I also will go on TikTok or Instagram and do a live with someone about the very topic that I'm fighting for and reach people where they are. And that's, look, I'm not here to blow smoke, but that's one of the reasons why I think y'all have been so successful. You're reaching people where they are. You're talking about topics that matter to them. You're not forcing them to sort of bend to what's on your mind you're in touch with where the community is and i think whether it's on the radio whether it's on tiktok whether it's in the newspaper you got to meet people where they are and that's what i'm focused on on doing every day

what about critiquing the party like either democrat what do you think they're getting wrong i think democrats gave up on rural communities across America, certainly across Pennsylvania, got too damn elite and started erecting artificial barriers to entry. And I'm trying to rip away those artificial barriers to entry and show up in these communities. Let me give you a couple concrete points. My first day in office, literally my first full day, I signed an executive order doing away with the college degree requirement for state jobs in government 92 percent of our state jobs that's 67,000 jobs that now you wouldn't need a college degree for and by the way in the years since I've done that 60 percent of our new hires don't have

a college degree why do I bring that up there was an artificial barrier to entry it was shutting people out for no damn good reason sure you know if you're going to be a lawyer, we want you to have a law degree. If you're going to be a doctor working in the state, we want you to have a medical degree. But beyond that, you shouldn't have these artificial barriers. And I think what our party has done too much over the last generation is we've erected these barriers and said to certain people we don't want you in the conversation so i'm trying to do away with that we've also said to certain communities we're not only not showing up we don't give a damn about you let me tell you

something i show up in these rural communities i talk to folks i listen i deliver for them and the election results show that they're you know i, I guess, happy with the work I'm doing. But I think what it also has shown me, and I'm always learning as an elected official, is actually you go to one of these conservative rural communities, or you go to one of these more, whatever, progressive urban communities, everybody basically wants the same thing. It's four things. They want a good school for their kids.

They want safe communities. They want economic opportunity. And they don't want anybody f***ing with their freedom. That freedom that's right you know they want you to protect their freedoms and we have too many people right now losing freedoms losing opportunity and instead i think i'm trying to bring people together republican and democrat alike to focus on those four things and we're making progress so that i can give a speech in Philly and I can give a speech in rural Venango County. I can go and have a picnic in a rural community and go to the Roots picnic last weekend and say the same thing to everybody. And I think that level of consistency

we have not always shown in a party. That way of showing up, that way of erecting artificial barriers to stop entry, that's been a problem for our party. And we're trying to change that in Pennsylvania. So as a Democrat, what do you think Republicans are getting right? It's a hard question because I think you have to separate out kind of that Trump wing of the party from, you know, sort of the common sense Republicans, many of whom I deal with in Pennsylvania every day, I think they understand effectively the importance of creating economic opportunity in communities that have been left behind. I think they understand. I think I understand this as well, but you asked me about their party. They understand that oftentimes providing capital

addresses an issue way better than some big program that takes a long time to set up and then ultimately doesn't work i think those are some areas where you know i respect the work that you know some republicans in pennsylvania are doing right now so why don't more republicans that are i guess of sound mind how come more of them aren't standing up against maga why are they just letting their party just succumb to maga yeahGA? I understand why you're using that term. I don't use that term, MAGA. I think in many ways it's actually disrespectful to the voters who believe

in that stuff, but we'll agree to kind of disagree on that. But it is a difference between traditional conservative values and what we're seeing now. A hundred percent. What I don't understand is, just look at the the sort of election data and again i'm keep coming back to pennsylvania because it's what i know

best donald trump wins pennsylvania by 44 000 votes in 2016 since that time donald trump has lost pennsylvania in 2020 and every single one of trump's offspring, including the guy I beat for governor, right, they've all lost every election. And in addition to that, they've lost branches of government at the federal level. They've lost ground in Pennsylvania. They've lost ground in other swing states. I don't get why they keep following this guy and following the approach he brings, following his extremism. Because like, even if you believe it, I think most of them don't believe it because they're frankly, they're just weak cowards that are afraid. And so they just sort of go along with him.

But it's also just not a winning formula. If you look at who's winning, it's me. It's Gretchen Whitmer. It's Wes Moore. It's Andy Beshear. It's Gavin. It's people that are doing common sense things in these states. And go look at the...

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that?

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.

For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

This is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right.

A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Nimany here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone.

Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap is another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it.

And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Swing states, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia. I mean, you're seeing Democrats win there on common sense messages,

and you're seeing the extremist Donald Trump clones losing there. So why they keep following this guy, I just don't know. It doesn't make any sense. There are reports that say nobody flies private in Pennsylvania more than you, Mike Rubin, and Meek Mill. So what do you say to people that say the flights are coming out of the taxpayers' pockets? We have a state plane. We've had a state plan for, I don't know,

30, 40 years. I can go back and check. And, um, I get around Pennsylvania all the time. I get around meeting people where they are. I show up,

I work my ass off as their governor. I kind of have this informal rule in my own head. I don't want to be in the office more than three days a week, which means I got four days to be out in the community somewhere listening learning showing up um and to be governor and show up in erie and philly in the same day it's impossible by cars i'm using the plane that other governors have used as well and you know what i'm showing up matters and i think too often times our politicians hide and don't show up. I want to be there with the people. And by the way, Mike flies on a hell of a much nicer plane.

Final pitch to folks for November. There are going to be two names on this ballot and maybe a few other randos on there as well. This is a binary choice between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. But in many ways, I think this election is not about Joe Biden and Donald Trump. It's about all of us and what kind of country we want to keep building for ourselves.

I think if we want to build that kind of country, there's only one choice in this election, and that's Joe Biden. All right, there you have it. Governor Josh Shapiro. Governor Josh Shapiro, thank you for joining us. Current governor of Pennsylvania,

future president. All right. Great to be with you guys. That's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's T.J. and V. Jess and Larry and Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Yo, salute to Governor Shapiro for pulling up, man. That's right. Yes. Salute to Governor Shapiro. Salute to our guy Q, man. Quincy. Quincy Harris. Connected me and Governor Shapiro.

Oh, okay. Quincy. Out in Philly. Yeah. Yeah. There's a radio in Philly. That's right. Salute to our guy Q.

That's right. All right. Well, let's get to Jess with the mess. Your news is real, brother. Jessica Lawrence, Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess.

On The Breakfast Club. She's a culture shift. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it on. So Benzino and his daughter, Coyler Ray, are back on bad terms.

If you don't remember, Benzino was on We in Miami podcast about a month ago and he seemed like he was defending R. Kelly. You got the audio? He said,

no, I ain't got the audio. I ain't got that audio. I ain't got that audio. I ain't got the audio. I ain't want that one. I don't know what audio you talking about. Yo, play it. He said, play it. We're done for this.

Do you think we should give R. Kelly a second chance? Everybody deserves a second chance. I know that Elvis, a lot of motherfuckers, 14, 15. I know, fuck with young girls to keep it 100, right? I'm not into that. Again, the legal age is 16 years old. So does that make it right if a does it? Yes or no?

To everybody on the table. Does that make it right? If it's legal, does it make it right if a dates a 16 year old? Makes it very wrong. I don't agree. It's gross. All right. All right.

So, but it's legal in America. So why the is R. Kelly doing all this time? Because you know why? Because they're 14 and 2 years younger. Lord have mercy. Yeah. So after that interview, Coyle Ray, she shared a couple of tweets. And one of them was, I want everybody to know I want nothing to do with anything my father has going on.

I haven't spoken to him in over a year. And I don't condone or respect any of those interviews he got going on. I don't respect his decision. And I really want nothing to do with him. Please don't even think of those interviews he got going on. I don't respect his decision. And I really want nothing to do with him. Please don't even think of me when you see him. Well, Benzino recently did another interview on the famous and wealthy podcast and shared how he felt about Coy disowning him. In a comment about the R. Kelly situation and said that she has she doesn't want to have anything to do with me no more because of the r kelly thing but then about four months ago she's on the math hoffer show and math hoffer which i thought um was a kind of crazy question she he asked her hey when did you lose your

virginity she said at 14 and i'm in that now first right i didn't know you know i'm saying right so i'm like so here you are condemning me for saying what i'm saying which is grown folks conversation which i never mentioned you which really you shouldn't even really involve yourself but since you did involve yourself is what you do how can you say that when you just said that you lost your virginity at 14 so is the guy that you lost your virginity at 14 with is he a pedophile uh he probably was 14 too like we don't know yeah so I just I feel like yeah okay she lost her

virginity at 14 but I think he's so pressed about the R. Kelly thing like he's linking it to that um that could've

the guy that she he could've been a little boy too cause she was certainly a little girl when she lost her virginity but he could've been a little boy too you know when she lost her virginity too

so I mean I I would like to see either Coy Larray and Benzino. Because that's what it feels like. Coy Larray and Benzino don't have a relationship. And they learn so much about each other. Listening to each other on different platforms. You know what I mean? And it's like, yo, y'all are father and daughter.

Y'all should sit down and have a conversation. Well, they need to stay off the internet. I mean, they're going to be on the internet. But maybe they don't need to be talking about each other. Or, if you hear something about your daughter on a podcast or you hear something about your pops on a podcast, how about y'all talk to each other?

You know what I mean? Start playing it out online. I agree. On social media. Or in these podcast interviews. Okay, Sexy Red goes viral for Roots Picnic set design. So she performed at the roots picnic uh over the weekend and pictures and videos from her performance started to circulate and fans were not happy sexy red had a huge red hat on the stage like it was big like it was like the whole set

design um that said make sexy great again obviously a play on the donald trump's make america's great again hats and people automatically assumed that this was an endorsement because of the interview that she did last year with the ovon who was sexy red people talk about i'm dead are you trying to call him sexy red i'm just saying hey is there do you think more people are going to support trump now and yeah they support him in the hood because at first I don't think people was with him like they thought he was racist saying little and you know against women but once he started getting black people out of jail and giving people their free money

oh baby we love Trump we need him back in office yeah that a little bit of free money goes a long way we need him back I don't know why I just sensed a little bit of shade in that last line that he said theo said yeah a little bit of money goes a long way doesn't it i found that part very funny some fans defended her by saying she has the freedom of choice to support whoever she wants and other fans showed their disappointment in her when sexy saw people's reactions uh to her support for trump she hopped on x to clear things up and she recently tweeted, It's sexy red for president. I'm on my own.

I'm my own candidate. I don't, I'm not endorsing anybody, period. People do the, she does have the right to, you know, support whoever she wants politically. But people do the red hat and change the slogan all the time. Make America trap again. Yeah, she's not the first one to do that. She said, make America sexy again. Don't let the red hat trigger you

that much because people literally do the... They change the slogan all the time. Make DJs great again. We've seen it all over the place. I never heard that one. I've never seen it. I'm going to make it. Yo, Evie, you're so funny, yo. I would change the color if I did it, though. I'm gonna make it I'm gonna make it yo

you're so funny yo I would change the color if I did it though like she but that kills the point but yeah she's actually

sexy red so yeah I get it you know yeah so and it also creates like for clickbait like as if they see

Because you was acting up, Uncle Lou. Oh, your mans just pressed me in the room. Yeah, bro came in there and was like, hey, man, so like I f*** with you, but like I don't f*** with you. It's a role, guys. People don't see the role.

They just see the villain. We take it serious. I mean, I take it as a compliment. I told him in the room. I was like, hey, bro, it just means that you really, you know, I'm doing my job. That's all I'm doing. I'm doing my work. So I appreciate it.

Yeah. But I'm like, I don't even drink, bro. Like, what is this? Do people press you, though, when you're out in the public? Like, really upset with your rules? You know what they do press me? You know who presses me? Not the men.

The women are the ones who are like, yo, I can't, like, I'm named man. Like, I can't believe you would do us like that. You are embarrassing us like aunties like take it personally yeah so but it's love though i love it i was in lamar park and that happened to me like a woman with her baby in the stroller pulled up on me like you setting a bad example for the family what family what are you talking about but i realized that all and i think all the Power Universe men have to understand it's like you belong to black women once you're in the Power Universe.

It's just what it is. Oh, break that down a little bit more. You know, everything in the culture to me is at root black women, whether it's Drake, whether it's Paramore, whether it, it don't matter what it is. It don't shake unless they say it go. I feel like because this show is pretty much a modernized. Black soap opera. Uh-huh.

Yeah. In allhuh. Yeah. In all the best ways. And that means that we know who our main component and who our main advocate is. That's real. And therefore, you got to honor that. You know what I'm saying? You got to accept that you're in a relationship

that you didn't ask to be in. And you got to be okay with that. Right. How hard is it to get that character out of you once you're not taping? Decompression is necessary. I feel like for me, channeling is a thing. you gotta you gotta know who you are like once you know your north star you can always get back home that's how i feel about it so it takes time but you just gotta

i don't get confused like yeah some people get confused yeah like it's not like too bad to juice and like that like i know who i am for real i want to go back from the start for people that don't know who malcolm mays. How did you get started in the entertainment industry as far as acting and writing? How did you get started? What made you start loving this game?

I think it was, damn, every time I, I feel like Charlamagne is just trauma, like he's just going to trauma trigger me every time because I talk to,

you know, I'm here to listen Malcolm. When my pops was around heavily in my life when I was younger and my moms was still like, you know, like it was like a family thing. Like, you know, going to Blockbuster for all those who are old enough to remember Blockbuster,

Hollywood videos, going to drive-in theaters. Like it was communal. It was familial. And it's a time before everything kind of went left in my life before there was like street violence, before my pops had to figure it out and did for a second before things changed. That's the thing I think that like me to movies because you could go anywhere. You could be with your family, have a good time, and you could be in the south of France watching James Bond or watching Mo' Better Blues.

I could experience New York in a certain time period. It was a beautiful place where black men and women were kings and queens in my household on television and on film. I didn't have that experience where they were like, we're not represented. I didn't have that. My house was full of black art black music black yeah so it was a place of comfort and i think i fell in love with storytelling as a means of transportation and empathy and from that point since i was a kid i was like five six i was like this what i want to do and my mom was like that's what we're doing you know so it was dope were you ever concerned um concerned about them killing lou off the last season? I don't give a ****. No.

I'm blessed, bro. Like, I won already. I know. You know, it's so crazy. People ask me that, like, were you ever worried about dying? I'm like, bro, I got **** dying. In real life, I don't care about no. I appreciate and love the fact that I got the ability to experience the crew I have.

Patina Miller is a genius. Yes. You know, London Brown is amazing. Makai is brilliant. Like, I love, you know, Hayley Kilgore. My whole cast and crew, Sasha Penn, the writer, Courtney for incepting it. All of it is, we have the coolest crew. Like, we don't have no egos.

We don't have no problems. We don't argue. Ain't no mess. Y'all don't see us outside. London sometimes talks too much because he's London and he's a comedian. And I was going to say, he be staging. He be on the comedian. He's a comedian.

It's not the same thing. But, like, other than that, like, we don't get in no mess. We don't be outside. We be boring. That's why people don't really. He's a comedian. It's not the same thing. But like, other than that, like we don't get in no mess. We don't be outside. We be boring. That's why people don't really, we bored as ****. We come home, do our work and all that.

So I've been blessed to have a great work environment to make a little bit of change doing something I love and do something interesting or different. If they kill me tomorrow, I told Sasha like,

bro, just let me know so I can, you know, shake around with the mortgage and whatnot. But other than that, I'm good, bro.

I had a great time. It was bro. I had a great time. It was beautiful. We had a great run. How involved is 50 in everything? Early on, he was very much so involved and then I think later on

he got, you know, like you set it up, you set up a business and then you go do your you know what I mean? Put the paint on the walls, make sure ain't nobody stealing from you

and then you're like, oh no, this is a good crew, good workers, but you know, business and walk off. Yeah. 50-50 cool. You know, he be doing his thing. I think he be playing favorites though. Do it? Yeah, he play favorites, but he don't know. oh no this is a good crew good workers but you know business and walk off like yeah 50 50 cool

you know he'd be doing his thing i think he'd be playing favorites though do it yeah he played favorites but he don't know that man could do no wrong in my eyes i don't give a what he do honestly you're saying that because you don't think you're one of his favorites is basically what you're saying i think that his favorites are based on like a marketing matrix that he runs in his head i don't know if it's like people he would actually hang out with in real life. I don't know. I can't say for that. But I do know that he positions things so brilliantly.

You know, if you're in the running, it's because you're making the most money at the table or you are aligned with what he's doing. So that's what's going to get his attention, which makes perfect sense for marketing for your product. But I know that for me, I don't care whether he's there or not. His presence has always felt like he changed my life. I don't give a **** what he doing, honestly.

Yeah. Do you watch any of the other shows, Power Universe? I try. Okay. Because it's a bunch of damn shows. Yeah, it's too much. It's too much for me. It's too much for me.

And then you're not only doing that show, you're doing other things as well. But I ask that because a lot of times, I see people saying, Mon're doing other things as well. But I ask that because a lot of times I see people like saying, Monet Tejada or Raquel. Like, who is the more of a badass? Who would you pick? Your sister or Monet Tejada?

That's not fair because, you know, you're not going to, first of all, you're not going to let me do what 50 be doing. I'm not doing that. You're not letting me put two black women against each other. What I will say is I'm a person who grew up in a very, what do they call it, tribalist environment. So, you know, I'm rocking with gang. And can't nobody f*** with Patina on television. Not just against power and this and that.

Like, no, I don't care if it was, what's that white boy show that's really good? Jason Bateman show. Was it Ozark? Oh, damn. Jess is good. Ozark. I don't give a f*** if it's Ozark. I don't care if it's

Martin Scorsese's movie. Ain't nobody, even though Lily Gladstone is amazing. Patina Miller is top tier. Period. Don't matter. She her.

And she needs to be acknowledged for it with awards and all the things. She deserves it. So does everybody else on the cast. So yeah,

you're not going to get me like that. Look, love Mary. Love Auntie. I got you. Love Auntie, but we not playing behind the scenes. Yeah. Do you talk to the writing team about where you want the character lou to go are you just we like you know there was i think sasha is good about letting us

have input but you let that man cook if it ain't broke don't fix it yeah we let that man cook and he just basically because you think i would have chose to be a alcoholic and i'm here and feeling bad out of nowhere I'm like damn man but you know people take that shit serious and I gotta go home

and that's the problem I keep hearing that from actors and actresses nowadays and it's bugging me the first person I ever heard say that was Megan Good

a couple years ago I always say what's his name what movie what's love got to do with it Ike Turner Lawrence Fishburne I ain't like

Lawrence Fishburne until he was Mulfius and I was like okay now he's rubbing me up the right way because do with it? Ike Turner. Lawrence Fishburne. I ain't like Lawrence Fishburne until he was Morpheus. And I was like, okay, now he's rubbing me the right way. Because you hated him as Ike. Yeah, but he did so. That's how great he did. And we was kids and we was scared of that man. I was like, why is he beating her up like that?

My girl Raven was like, hey, I seen him as Ike at 10. I ain't stopped hating that man since. And I was like, that man done been in Apocalypse Now at 17 years old with Francis Ford Coppola. All so that you can sit here and not want to go watch him because he played the role too good. And once I seen that, I was like, oh, like you got to position yourself. You got to make sure you're doing certain things. And so next time y'all see me, I'll probably have on a suit. And I ain't going to be selling no drugs.

I tell you like that. So psychologically, how do you check yourself? You just out and about. Somebody be like, hey, you drunk rat. Oh, my ego ain't in this. Matter of fact, I might laugh with you. Like, hey, man, it was tough. You're like, I ain't choose this.

It chose, you know. All right, we got more with Malcolm Mays, of course, from Raising Canaan and season two of Them. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're still kicking it with actor Malcolm Mays. You've seen him in Raising Canaan and season two of Them. Jess? Another show I'm a fan of is Them, both season one and two. Now, you play in one as Calvin. Yeah. And then season two came out. I thought you were so creative as a writer for that.

It was so many pieces on Them 2, The Scare. How did you tap into that? Well, well first of all it's a team of six people in one room coming up with one idea so that helps so i'm not gonna act like i'm just you know and little marvin being the head of the ship oh my god little marvin is amazing yeah um and i say that to say and i'm like you know and i'm gonna keep doing this with luke because i'm one of the people that when i'm wrong i'm wrong just as loud as i was when i was right yeah and i gotta be honest if i i***. I did not believe in Luke in this role. I did not.

I did not believe in that man. I argued with Tony Saltzman, who's the second in the room and Little Marvin about like, well, that's the choice we going? Because the character description looked nothing like him. The character description looked more like a young Forrest Whitaker, literally. Yeah. It had nothing. And Luke is handsome. He got abs.

What the f*** he gonna do? Like, you know what I mean? So you was in there like, Kendrick, abs what the he gonna do like you know i mean so you're in there like kindred i hate the way that you because you know luke was in an r&b group when we was kids when he was teenagers and he was singing his ass off so like i've always been a fan of luke's but i just never was like you know like i'm like i don't think he can do this and so i fought like a little bit i was bumping up against when they was like we're not shooting in la we're shooting atlanta i'm like oh this and they're like also we're casting luke james i'm like y'all after all this work we done put in to build this story and so you know how intricate it was so good because if somebody it one actor can ruin all of the story it don't

matter how good it is y'all got to get up there and say the word so i am humbled and appreciative to be wrong being wrong is a fun thing sometimes. Absolutely. That's beautiful as f*** because I was so wrong. That man, he did his stuff. He put his foot in it. He stepped all over it. And I'm so glad that we had people like Little Marvin with Vision

and Tony Saltzman with Vision and the casting directors and a team of writers who were able to, you know, we can disagree, have a difference of opinion and still get a great product. Yeah, I respect that because that's not hate.

That's not ego driven. That's man, like, we've created this great product. I to continue to be good i don't think that's the person for it but you you want to be wrong i want to be you want to be wrong and i was and it was nice did you speak to luke about it no i haven't had a chance to oh really i've seen him on here no this is going to be the first time he sees him bro you that you him you him You him. You Hemothy. Luke, Hemothy, James, chapter three and five. That's you. Because you got to give people like flowers.

We don't see each other. We don't run into each other. And then I went back and looked at some of the stuff he did on the shot because I don't watch the show. And I was like, oh, this last season, he was really sensitive and really vulnerable and playing some weird. Hey, guys, I'm Kate Max.

Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment.

Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts like doing some things that i i appreciate as an artist because me i talk but not about the person just like when you said somebody come up to me be like your role and like i can't believe you did abnc i don't take things personal so when i critique something it's

literally because i'm worried about the story the art giving our people quality so that they can empathize with situations they never would have empathized with. So they can go places they never would have otherwise went. And so when somebody say an actor, I don't. Yeah, there's personalities. There are people who are fun that we like to watch. They're great to watch the entertainment. But then it's that make you feel your soul. Yeah.

And I don't play with that. So it wasn't because I didn't think Luke was a good actor or talented. It's because, bro, this is precious. I need you to care take and guide this for real and he did that and that was a very complex role i mean like when i first when i when i seen him too and then i was like james gonna be right he did mr games like what what you know he made himself ugly i don't know how he did that i don't either today and it was amazing because in the in the show i don't know how he did that i don't either and it was amazing because in the in the show i don't want to ruin it uh totally but he couldn't remember he was trying to be an actor and and it the way it unfolded was he really couldn't get the hood thing down but he was trying like

when he spooked the girl yeah the stocking and all that yeah shout out to the team bro shout out to the whole gang yeah they went crazy I love them They all We all deserve our flowers For that And even what you said Going back to when you said One character can like Mess up the story I ain't gonna lie

And this is my brother man When I first saw Iman I said what the He gonna plant somebody For him He felt like somebody Daddy too Right you know

But as I'm watching I'm like oh Like this is a star Studded cast for this And shout out to Debra. Debra A. Arenda. She is amazing. Season one and season two.

I didn't know how y'all was going to do it. No, she did it. But I ain't even going to tell you. Don't even tell her. You have to watch season one and season two. Your penmanship is amazing. I just wanted to give you that. I was glad to be part of the team.

It's number two on Amazon. So we are doing our thing. So shout out to the gang. Shout out to Deb. Deb, another unhyped talent. I don't know how that woman does what she does and don't nobody say nothing it's crazy to me i'll be like what are you right dude yeah yeah i wrote a movie recently that i'm trying to get made right now is that uh covers oh no covers that was a kid that was like the short version of a larger film that i did they got into the camp okay that's a lot of competition okay good which was a blessing you know but the next one gonna go crazy

it's called Program I'm doing meetings on it right now raising money it's gonna be it's gonna be a thing I'm gonna direct this nice

what's more lucrative acting or writing depends now it's now it's almost equivalent but like cause my quote's pretty high

as a writer cause I wrote oh I'm on your ass I'm on your ass I'm comfortable with my masculinity where's your book at get hey anybody know this know what i how i get down shout out to everybody else's preferences

i first time we came on and you remember i came i was like where charlemagne at i was on some i was on bumpers because i lost my godfather at the time i was pissed because you had um made oh i made me donkey of the day for New Jack City 2. Yep. And you thought it was a reboot because everybody was saying it was a reboot. So you made it donkey of the day. But I was trying to tell everybody it's not a reboot. It was a sequel. What was the premise?

New Jack City 2 was basically like years later, what happened with the people who were still alive? How about that? And I wanted Zendaya in it. And I wanted David Washington in it. And you could imagine who those characters would be playing. The sons or daughters of. And they were supposed to be on some like, you know, what's that movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon and all them people where they was like going at it.

Oh, and Jack Nicholson was in it as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Departed. The Departed. It was supposed to be more like that, you know, because that's what I wanted it to be. So it was more like that. But like, when you gave me Donkey of the Day, bro, I was so pissed because I was like, it's not even true.

Like, it's a sequel. It's not a reboot. That's not what happened. I don't even remember that. I do remember now the story. I remember one of y'all saying, yo, that dude Malcolm Bain was up here hot. I was looking for you.

I was looking for you. I was looking for you. Because like, you know, your word really matter. Like, you say shit, people really be taking that, man. But yeah,

my quote got really high after writing that movie. And so now my quote's pretty good. It's not like you take that home and you keep most of it. You split that shit up your manager your artist

your taxes all that it get chopped down pretty heavy and acting in two different states I get heavy with the taxes too so it's not what it look like but I've been blessed enough

to put it all together and it look good alright well we appreciate you joining us I was surprised you being from Cali that you went with Drake over Kendrick I didn't say that

don't ever play with my top like that we were talking about the level of success I gotta go home this summer but you know I didn't say that don't ever play with my top like that bro I'm about to say that I'm like what we were talking about the level of success I gotta go home this summer you got me f***ed up I was ready to say no and by the way

there's only one right answer to that situation some things are subjective that ain't one of them the right answer is this Aubrey's done great for music Kendrick is for the people culture

yeah when the last time Aubrey was standing for Mike Brown and all them people I love him he does great for us All that

But like It's K-Dot Gang gang Yeah I love it I was riding with Canada It just don't make no sense It's the same

It's Malcolm Mace. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to Jess with the mess.

News is real. We're in the flames. Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lies. Don't do no lies. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess. Worldwide mess. On The Breakfast Club

She's a coach of shit She was able to get y'all to see something And understand something That nobody could get you to see It's time to set it on Alright, so Pat McAfee That's his name, y'all? Yes

Y'all know him better than me Okay, he apologized to Caitlyn Clark He went on a passionate rant about Caitlyn Clark during his show on Monday, and now he's receiving backlash for it. I would like the media people that continue to say, this rookie class, this rookie class, this rookie class. Nah, just call it for what it is. There's one white bitch for the Indiana team who is a superstar.

And is it because she stayed in Iowaowa put an entire state on her back took a program from nothing to a multiple year success story is it because she would go on to break the entire points records in the history of the ncw not just the women's record by kelsey plumb shout out but also pistol pete maravich's okay so even though it didn't seem like he meaned any harm by it a lot of people were upset. He actually was praising Caitlyn after people pointed out that he called her a white bitch and that was offensive. Pat issued an apology to Caitlyn personally and on X. He said, I shouldn't have used white bitch as a descriptor of Caitlyn Clark, no matter the context.

If we're talking about race being a reason for some of the stuff happening, I was way I have way too much respect for her and women to put that into the universe. My intentions when saying it were complimentary, a white bitch, just like the entire segment. But a lot of folks are saying it certainly wasn't at all. That's 100 percent on me. And for that, I apologize. I have sent an apology to Caitlyn as well. Everything else are still facts. So we still stand on what he was talking about, but he just took back the white bitch part. Yeah.

I like you say and be like, black people say we can say things. They're like, you know, killing it. That bitch killing it. But that just seemed like one white killing it that bitch killing it you know but dad just seen it like yeah it was like one white bitch it just hit me hard damn even though he was being positive about it yeah it still was like damn still man it's not if he was uh it still does sound racist and sexist even though it came from a white person yeah even coming from a white person yeah it's still sexist yes white bitch. Right. He just sounded crazy. White bitch.

Gosh. Like, no disrespect, but. Right, right. But he was insupportable. No, he really was. But he just sounded crazy. In other basketball news, Angel Reese wants her recognition. So she did an interview with Chicago news station WGN9. And she spoke on the attention

that women's basketball has been receiving and her rivalry with Kaitlyn Clark. People are talking about women's basketball, but you never would think that we'd be talking about women's basketball. People are pulling up to games, we got celebrities coming to games, sold out arenas, like just because of one single game. And just looking

at that, like I'll take that role. I'll take the bad guy role and I'll continue to take that on and be that for my teammates. And if I want to be like, I'll take that role. I'll take the bad guy role and I'll continue to take that on and be that for my teammates. And if I want to be that, and I know I'll go down in history, I'll look back in 20 years

and be like, yeah, the reason why we watching women's basketball is not just because of one person. It's because of me, too. And I want y'all to realize that.

Lord have mercy. That little white girl got folks losing it. Yes, I know. I'm like, well, first of all, y'all do two different things. You know,

Kaitlyn Clark is known for what she's a point guard, right? Yep. And'all do two different things. You know, Katelyn Clark is known for what? She's a point guard, right? Yep. And then Angel Reese is a center. Slash forward. Yeah. Okay.

Yeah. I mean, and while she didn't say that Katelyn Clark does not deserve the recognition of being the face, she also included herself. I think she more so wrapped up in comments and would like, because that could actually really be, they can be very influential and they can make you say something yeah you got you know celebrities come in and all that type of stuff and you know so does she and then it's a third girl who was drafted too like it's well i hope this whole class was really really good and this whole class

everybody who was yeah drafted this whole this whole rookie class was really really great uh what's her name? Cameron Brinks? Kaitlyn Clark is a superstar. I don't know what to tell y'all. Andy Reese is a star. I don't know what to tell y'all. I just want women's basketball to be successful, but I need both of them to know that the reason people watch the WNBA is for a variety of different reasons. I'm sure that there's

a lot of people who watch it, you know, but for different, not just because of that one game that they played two years ago. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, I watched the WNBA. I watched women's basketball, period, because of Dawn Staley and Asia Wilson. Right.

But I started watching women's basketball when Asia Wilson started playing at the University of South Carolina in 2014, and I've been locked in ever since. And I watch the WNBA now because of Asia Wilson. I've been watching the WNBA for years because of Asia Wilson. You see me coming here with my Asia Wilson jersey on. Asia Wilson is the best player in the WNBA from because of Asia Wilson. I've been watching the WNBA for years because of Asia Wilson. You see me coming here with my Asia Wilson jersey on. Asia Wilson is the best player in the WNBA from South Carolina to Met, 803. So yes, I salute Angel

and especially Caitlyn for bringing more eyeballs to the NBA, but there is a foundation that was laid way before they got there that they stand on. Of course, but Caitlyn Clark definitely has changed the landscape of the WNBA. 100%. The fact that they have 18,000 people at one game, But Caitlyn Clark definitely has changed the landscape of the WNBA. 100%. You know what I mean? She definitely has.

I mean, the fact that they have 18,000 people at one game, that hasn't happened before. So you can't discredit her for that. I'm not discrediting Angel either. No, but Angel, yeah. No, you can't discredit Angel either. But them private jets, them chartered planes, it's because of Caitlyn Clark. Now, if y'all want to go back to Southwest, y'all keep it up. Keep talking.

Keep it up. Keep talking. Keep it up. By the way, Kaelin and Angel, you need both of them to be successful. Yes. If they are successful, y'all going to stay on them private jets. If they're not successful, back to Southwest you go. But I do like the fact that they have that little rivalry. I like that. It's all good.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. As long as, yeah, it's all good. Like the Knicks and the Pistons back in the day. You like that rivalry. I'm glad you said that, because none of this is hurting the WNBA. We're having conversations about the WNBA. Guess what? Just like we have about any other sport.

Yes. It's going to be just like any other sport. The only thing you shouldn't do is call them bitches. It's perfectly fine to call the guys bitches. Right. But don't call any of the women bitches and i don't even i'm not even upset with the rough play i'm just mad that caitlyn clark teammates ain't help her out that's what i was upset about by the way if she was a guy i'd be

saying the same thing yes like yo where's the team yes yeah but no that don't happen with the guys i don't see that with the guys what's that where somebody their team lets the person oh hell no no i don't see that oh it don't happen with all the guys. What's that? Where somebody, their team lets the person. Oh, hell no. No, I don't see that. Oh, it don't happen with all the women either now. Let's be clear. Camila Cardoso was an enforcer. Let's not act like during that LSU-South Carolina game when Camila came through pushing people down.

What's up? What's popping? You know? She's an enforcer too. That's right. I just like the fact that the WNBA, I like the WNBA. And all of these storylines help. We ain't never had this much conversation about the WNBA.

It's about the drama. It is. That's right. It's about the drama. Well, that is Jess with the mess. Thank you, Jess. All right, now it's time for the People's Choice Mix again. I got to remind you guys, I announced my car show this morning.
