Envy playing my record. I made it. Jess Hilarious. Jess be with you. She don't spare nobody. Charlemagne Degas. What made you think the Viking of Controversial Questions would take his part? I like this show.

Thanks, Breakfast Club. Good morning, USA. That time for our good sister, Jess Hilarious. She's what, less than three weeks? Two weeks. Yeah, like two weeks away. Two weeks. Two weeks. Yeah, two weeks and a half, she said. From having her baby. So, you know, if you've ever been pregnant, you know, ever had a significant other that's pregnant, you know these last two weeks be crucial.

Yeah, they're crucial. You never know how somebody's going to wake up, how they're going to feel. That's right. I don't know why she came in yesterday. Yeah, that was crazy. But God bless her. That's right, babe. So, Jess is out today.

All right, so last night, did you watch the Republican convention? I watched it as much as I cared about it. I watched it, and then, of course, we eventually had to go to sleep. But I watched a pretty good significant chunk of it. I watched it on CNN, though. And CNN, I don't know how it was on other networks, but CNN was doing a lot of commentary, like over a lot of the speeches.

So like they would go in and out of certain speeches. Like they showed Amber Rose's whole speech. Who else did I see speak last night? Tim Scott. Tim Scott. Yep. Who else did I see? I saw a bunch of white people.

I had no idea who they were. I saw the head of the Teamster speech there was another brother that spoke too I can't think of the brother's name I saw him because he referenced

the Joe Biden you ain't black thing yeah I don't remember his name I don't remember his name but yeah I watched it I watched it last night why is it

I know we'll talk about it more on front page news but why is there a whole thing which I couldn't understand it seems like everybody was saying America is not a racist country like that was something

that they stood on a lot. And I was sitting there like, are they blind? Can they not see what's going on? I was kind of confused. I don't know what the hell was happening. But, yeah, it's interesting. Yeah.

I'll tell you that much, for lack of a better word. We'll break it down more in Front Page News. We've got a special guest joining us this morning, Dietrich Hadden, gospel singer. He has an album called One Night in California. And we'll be kicking it with him in a Page News. We got a special guest joining us this morning. Dietrich Haddon, gospel singer. He has an album called One Night in California. And we'll be kicking it

with him in a little bit. And then when we come back, we got Front Page News. With Morgan. That's right. Morgan Wood will be joining us. What we got this morning? Morgan over there coughing,

coughing crazy. Like she, you know, I think Morgan hits a little blunt before she gets on. So she be exhaling. Right before? Right before. Just to get her mind right. Just to get her mind right.

Just to get her mind right. I ain't mad at her. I'm lying, but you know, that's just what I think. But we don't know. We don't. All this stuff she got to discuss. Let's ask her when we come back. All right, we'll do it when we come back.

Front page news. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get your ass up. All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess Hilarious.

Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Hey, Morgan. Hey, y'all. Hey. So, yeah, let's get into it a busy day for the republican national convention yesterday of its first day trump won the republican party's nomination for president republican delegates from all 50 states territories and the district

of columbia nominated the former president and trump is expected to officially accept that nomination in a speech on Thursday. Now, the former president did pick his VP, a selection running mate, and he was officially nominated on the convention floor. Ohio Lieutenant Governor John Husted made the nomination announcement. Let's hear that. It is therefore my honor to nominate Ohio Senator J.D. Vance for the office of vice president of the United States of America. Yeah, so Vance was selected or excuse me, elected to the Senate in 2022, representing Ohio, of course, a key swing state in the 2024 race. He wrote the best selling book, Hillbilly Elegy, a memoir of his experiences growing up in poverty. Now, President Biden reacted to the VP pick and in a post on X, he said that Vance talks a big game about working people.

He went on to claim that Trump and Vance want to raise taxes on middle class families while pushing more tax cuts for the rich. Now, Trump named Vance as his VP presidential pick, of course. Now, Ohio Republican delegate, entrepreneur, and 2020 presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says J.D. Vance would be a great vice presidential pick to Donald Trump if the GOP wins the November ticket. Let's hear more from Vivek Ramaswamy. He's a guy who actually means what he says, which, as strange as that sounds, is actually rare in American politics. And our families are good friends. Our boys, our kids are of similar age. We both hailed

from 10-mile radius of each other, even where we grew up in native Cincinnati. I mean, I'm a human being. I think anybody who was serious in American politics who was asked, who would have been asked, would have said yes. I would have said yes if asked, too. But I think Jan. is truly an outstanding choice yes so that was him um the last comment was him asking uh whether or not he was selected you know how he would feel about it so Vance um actually it's funny that he says that J.D. uh Vance um means what he says because back Vance has actually been backtracking a lot of comments about what he said about former President Trump. Vance has been very critical of Trump in the past, saying he himself was a never Trumper, once calling the former president America's Hitler and even going so far as to say, if you vote for him, you're an idiot.

I guess he's since changed his tone. And that's interesting, right? Because, you know, I gave him donkey of the day yesterday because he said that a lot of the rhetoric that uh you know democrats use when they say things like trump is an existential threat to democracy is what led to him getting shot but he referred to trump as hitler right you know and now he's his running mate so there's that so i'm not sure if we can really um you know he's he's a legal kind of guy so i'm not sure if we can you know uh take his take him for out his word you know he's saying he's saying one thing he's doing another i don't know but that is what politicians do though right i mean when they're campaigning against each other you know they they say things about each

other they say things to each other but then you know when it's time for them to you know come together on one accord everybody does look like the republican party is definitely united on that front in that regard and that's the tone he's saying hey i was wrong about trump so Trump. So, yeah, but he was never campaigning against Trump, though, right? He just said he was he was a Hitler. I like, you know, he just didn't agree with him, which was surprising. And he just took everything back. Like, I'm just looking at it. You know, when you think about it's OK, Vance, push for your own political.

Yeah, I get it. And you think about 2020, you think about how Democrats went hard at Biden. You know, Kamala stumped him on the stage with that bus thing. But now she's the VP. So it happens. Yeah, you're right about that. So meanwhile, model, rapper and television personality Amber Rose, she entered the chat. She started rapping.

You said rapper. I saw that last night on CNN, too. They put that on the lower third. I'm like, when did she start rapping? Oh, we know. Yeah, well, yeah, she's she's well, nothing that's charted. But, you's, well, nothing that's charted, but, you know. Jesus.

So she entered the chat and spoke at the RNC convention on Monday. Let's hear more from Amber Rose's comments. When you go to the store and buy food for your family, you're shocked. When you fill up your gas tank, you're pissed. I know I am. My message to you tonight comes from a humble place. The left told me to hate Trump and even worse, to hate the other side, the people who support him. When you court young voters in the race for the White House. Of course, you know, she has more than 27 million followers across Instagram X and other social media platforms. So, of course, she is considered highly influential.

And other news. And by the way, I don't care who people choose to support politically. That's your choice. All I kept thinking when I saw her speaking was her and Kanye should have stayed together. Oh, because they're there. It looks so cute. And their MAGA hats. Their opinions are their opinions are the same yeah she said she's gonna raise her MAGA hat she also definitely said that her father was the one that persuaded her she listened to her father father served in the military and that was the reason why she changed her mind on donald

trump she said she said she went and did her research after you know hearing so much about him yes i like that story about her father being in the military. So, salute to him and his service. And of course, former President Trump's, this also broke yesterday, former President Trump's classified documents case was dismissed. And of course, he's applauding that decision. He was accused by the feds of taking classified documents from the White House

after he left office and illegally storing them in Mar-a-Lago. Now, Judge Eileen Cannon ruled the appointment of Special counsel Jack Smith violated the Constitution. Trump posted, as we move forward in uniting our nation after the horrific events on Saturday, referring to his assassination

attempt, this dismissal should be followed by the dismissal of all the witch hunts, which he lists, his short list of witch hunts, or list of witch hunts, includes his pending case, pending cases, and of course the New York hush money case where he was found guilty. So, yeah, a lot of ground covered at the RNC. We'll talk more about Biden's reaction to that.

And he also sat down with NBC's Lester Holt. So we'll talk more about that. And very important to note, that was a judge that he appointed. Yeah. Yes. And I hope that was a Trump appointed judge. And I hope you all are ready for all his cases to be thrown out. And, you know, I asked this question yesterday on social media and I've been asking it for the past couple of weeks. In light of the Supreme Court's recent rulings. Right. Because we know the Supreme Court is no longer a legitimate institution right there. This is a completely corrupt court. We have have to ask ourselves is democracy still healthy

enough to have a free and fair election come november now i'm one of those people that don't believe biden can beat trump in november but if he does and it's close and trump challenges the election like we know he will and it goes to the supreme court who do you think the supreme court gonna stand with donald j trump we saw the time uh cover yes new york Yes. The New Yorker cover. I'm sorry, New Yorker. Thank you for that correction. All right. Well, that is front page news. And I just want to remind you guys, I know nobody talks about it, but

it's an all-star game for Major League Baseball. Nobody's even said anything. Because baseball was better when everybody was on steroids. And nobody wants to admit that, but it's the truth. I just wanted to tell you. It just was. Yesterday was the home run derby. But anyway.

All right. Thank you, Morgan. See you next hour. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.

Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, The Breakfast Club I just wanted to say, I just wanted to say, as black people, we got to come together more, especially with all this trauma buying stuff going on. We ain't going to never be able to say what we want if we can't even agree on what we want. And pages like the Shade Room and stuff like that don't really help, you know what I'm saying?

They just create more division. Kind of bait you to think what they want you to think. And that just causes more arguments between us. So I just wanted to say, this morning, when y'all get up, everybody just come together. You know what I'm saying? Don't always try to find something you can argue with the next person about. Just stay focused. You can't blame it on the shade room.

You can't blame it on the shade room. They're a media outlet that reports everything out there. I ain't blaming it on them, you know what I'm saying? But a lot of their posts be like stuff that kind of leads you towards one way or another. You just got a whole bunch of people in the comment section cussing each other out, everything. You know what I'm saying? I get what you're saying. There's a lot of things

you can do about the comment section. But, you know, I think people like the Shady Room or just any news outlet, they put certain information out there. It's just up to you to decide what you want

to do with it. I think that sometimes what we shouldn't do is read something and just take a side on it. Just take the information but i think we also got to start doing our homework we can't necessarily trust every news outlet we have to you know do the due diligence and make sure things are actual right because a

lot of these news outlets are reporting things that they think is true but a lot of times it's not hello who's this hello good morning dj mv good morning good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning. Good morning. This is my first time on the break. Well, welcome. Yeah. My name is Emeka, originally from Africa. I'm from Nigeria. So I want to talk about what's going on.

Sorry. Okay. You know, like, growing up in Nigerian politics, it's a bloodbath with the election. And I'm seeing everything right now, the United States of America by what Trump is doing I don't think we can back from that because I like people done Americans are safe so other but it's like it's holes in your phone call brother we can only hear every other word sadly that one oh my god my okay

where they're going to be shooting a lot of the movies. So to kick it off, he's doing a huge weekend. So one night is a comedy show and he got every comedian

that you could possibly think of from Andrew Schultz to Cat Williams. Then he's doing a celebrity basketball game. He's doing like a huge performance and then also car shows that weekend. So he's just doing something that's family fun and so many different activities. So, yes, the car show will be that Saturday and Sunday. 50s bringing a host of cars and a host of people and a host of celebrities.

He's just trying to really give back to Shreveport, and the majority of all those proceeds go to his G-Unit Foundation where he's giving back to the Shreveport community and the kids there. So he's doing a lot of good stuff out in Shreveport, and I'm just going in to support my brother. That's all. Yeah, I just bought my tickets, so I'll be out there. Okay, dope. Can't wait to see you there.

Also, before you hang up on me, I remember I called like three weeks ago. I told you my daughter's birthday was August 16th. I said I was going to give me tickets, but I never received the email. Tickets to where? To your car show in August, August 17th. August 17th. Stay on the line. All right.

J.A. from Indy. What's up, J.A.? How you doing, J.A.? Hey, good morning, Breakfast Club. I got some disappointing news, and I know my boy's going to hear this. He's trying to reconnect with his old lady, and I want him to know there's no such thing as the right person at the wrong time. Oh, man.

What happened? The right person at the wrong time? Shouldn't that be the other way around? Yeah, I know. The wrong person at the right time? Either way, however you want around? Yeah, I know The wrong person at the right time? Either way, however you want to word it That Usher song, Good Good That got people thinking

I'm at the right person at the wrong time And I'm just letting him know That she's just not the right person But he thinks I'm being negative So he's going to hear this And hopefully it registers But I'm just telling him It doesn't work like that

Well, you got to get your language right first There's no such thing as the wrong person At the right time There's always time for the right wrong person at the right time. There's always time for the right person. Yeah, my apologies. So you're right. The right person.

I'm going to be honest with you. You sound like you want your boy. What? I'm going to be honest with you. It sounds like you really the one that got the crush on him. You want to be with him. That's what you came up with. I do. I hear it.

I hear it in your throat. Jesus. I appreciate you, but I really want him to understand that it's going to be okay because I just want him to transition. Oh, boy. He calls every day. See, you want him to transition. That's right.

You want him to transition. You're right. Sounds like you're going to be about to rub his back later on, bro. Hey, man, I leave that up to y'all, man, but I appreciate y'all letting me give it up. All right, bro. But let me just question. Why is he the wrong person, bro? Because, you know, you have expectations in half of people.

And it's like, yeah, I'm mature. He wants different things. And at the same time, they were really seeing each other. He wasn't acting right. So at that point, if y'all not on the same page, it's like I tell my son, got to be willing to let it go. You'll be okay. All right, man.

All right. I'm glad you're so invested in your homeboy's relationship. Yeah, I was too invested. Sounds like he want to. But hey, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now, when we come back, we got Jess with the mess. Well, actually, Jess is out, so we got her mess.

We got a lot to talk about. Fergie was actually trending yesterday. We'll tell you why. Also, Biden sat down with Complex and said some very interesting things. Look at my guy, Speedy Norman, man. I watched that one yesterday. I watched the whole 19 minutes of it. Yep. And lastly, Plies.

Well, yeah, well, he has a new bae. A bae that he didn't ask for. We'll tell you about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is what y'all need to do. No disrespect to Future, but y'all can cut. Don't Future got two verses before Kendrick?

Only one. Just one verse. Y'all got to cut it to where Kendrick verse plays all the way through, man. We always end up cutting off Kendrick's verse. So you want to take out Future on Future's record? Half of it. Oh, my goodness. He on the hook. Let him do the hook and then go right into Kendrick verse.

Morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. Jess is out, so let's get to the mess. News is real. We're in the headlines. Jessica Robin Moore. Jess don't do no lie. Don't do no lie.

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. I know you guys might be tired of politics, but there's so much going on.

Yesterday, Joe Biden sat down with Speedy Mormon from Complex. And they had a, what, you said like a 19-minute conversation? Yeah, it was 19 minutes. I watched it yesterday. Salute to Speedy. I thought it was a very solid conversation. 19-minute conversation. And they talk about a lot of things,

like Biden talks about black jobs during this conversation. A black job is the same as a white job, the same as any other job. But you know what he means by black job? What does he mean? He means menial labor. That's what he thinks.

You know, he thinks you're going to sell golden shoes or sneakers, and that's somehow... I mean, the idea that there'd be support for him and talking about how they're coming taking black jobs not taking there's a reason why we are the most advanced nation in the world most progressive nation in the world why our economy is the biggest we're the only nation in the world that isn't xenophobic now they also have a conversation uh speedy asked joe biden why his support for

israel was so strong and he talks about uh himself being a zionist if there weren't in israel every jew in the world be at risk every jew in the world be at risk and so there's a need for it to be strong and a need for israel to be able to have after world war ii the ability for jews to have a place that was their own. You don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist. And a Zionist is about whether or not Israel is a safe haven for Jews because of their history of how they've been persecuted. Are you a Zionist? Yes.

You'll be able to make a lot out of it because people don't know what a Zionist is. Do you know what a Zionist is? I just ask questions. I don't answer. By the way, I'm the guy that did more for the Palestinian community than anybody, I'm the guy that opened up all the assets, I'm the guy that made sure that I got the Egyptians to open the border and let

good goods through, medicine and food. Drop on a clues bomb for Speedy. Speedy's just funny to me, I hit Speedy yesterday and I told him I thought that was a solid conversation, Speedy's just funny to me because he can present very straight but he's really a damn fool you already start laughing yes there are certain hosts who have a skill set that is very straight right like ryan c crest terrence j mario lopez you know the kind of presenter i'm talking about and what they do

is very necessary and it is a very unique skill speedyedy presents like that. He's very, very good, but he's really a nut. And that's hilarious to me. Just watching Speedy keep it together is hilarious to me. Salute to my guy, Speedy. Salute to Speedy. I like what he does.

Always have. Also talks about his age. Ask Biden about his age. President Biden, you're getting up there, man. 81 years old. You'll be 82 at the time of the inauguration

if you're reelected. 86 at the end of that presidential term. Some people are concerned that maybe you shouldn't be in this race. Are you 100% running for re-election? 1,000%. 1,000%. Why? You've got to finish your job. For the longest time, I was told I was too young because I got elected to the Senate.

I was the second youngest man in the history of the Senate to get elected and that I'm too young because I got elected to the Senate. It's the second youngest man in the history of the Senate to get elected. And that I'm too old. Hopefully, I've demonstrated with age comes a little wisdom. I've gotten, for some to say this, but I've gotten more done than almost any president has in one term. And we've got more to do. He may not be wrong. I just don't see how they win in November.

There is no energy. They don't feel like that side is inspired. It feels like MAGA has all the momentum. They look like a complete unit. They got a goal. They got a leader. They've rallied around. I also think it's easier for conservatives to rally around each other because the base of their party actually sees results from their party. The things they get,

the things they want, they get. I just don't see how it happens in November. Well, we know Plyies has been very critical of Donald Trump and very critical of of not voting for Donald Trump. Well, Kodak Black does not like that. He got on IG to tell Plies to fall back. Now, we all know that Trump pardoned Kodak Black from a gun charge in 2021. And this is what Kodak Black's message was to Plies. Hey, yeah, go to plies hey what's up this is ramses job and i go by the name q ward and we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cipher that's right we're going to discuss social issues especially those that

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.

Listen, whatever you want to believe politically, believe it. But, you know, don't go back and forth with each other over no old white men. No back and forth online. It sounds stupid. Knock it out. And it's not a back and forth. It's just, you know, Kodak, cut it out.

Right. Now, also, Plies, he got into an incident yesterday. He was in the airport and somebody asked to take a picture. The gentleman was gay and Plies said,

yeah, of course, I don't care what you are. Well, it backfired. Jimmy Everett, if he would have said he was MAGA, he wouldn't have took a picture with you. Oh, no,

say you don't care what they are now, Plies. You know that's a lie. Well, Plies took the picture and it backfired on him. Now, this is a long audio, but it's hilarious. I can't be motherf***ing nice to nobody. I've just come to that motherf***ing realization. Hell, I get motherf***ing approached and, you know, motherf***ing say,

I got plenty of buzz here. That's just the era we live in. Poor Ply.

That's just the era we in. Ply's description is hilarious. Last time we got time for one more. Yesterday, Fergie was trending, and people wanted to know why Fergie was trending. That's because yesterday was the Home Run Derby, and during the Home Run Derby, an artist, her name is ingrid andres she actually uh lost her grammy to megan estallion she sang the national anthem and this is what it sounded like Yeah, I remember Fergie.

Can we play a little bit of Fergie? Well, to be honest with you, with the current state of the country, I believe that's the proper way for the National Anthem to sound. If you ask me. Okay? And Fergie stole the ball for Trash Ash National Anthem. Oh, nah. Fergie sound like Whitney Houston compared to that last tune. No, right here. There you go. There you go.

Yeah, you're right. Gave through Through the night Yeah, you're right. Fergie actually sounds good compared to Ingrid Andress. You sound like Whitney Houston compared. What's her name? Ingrid Andress. Ingrid Andress. I don't know who that is.

She's a country singer. Oh, okay. All right. And that is The Mess. Like I said, Jess is out. Hopefully, she'll be back tomorrow. Now, next time, we'll be talking about the YSL judge. He had to recuse himself.

We'll tell you about that when we come back. I said that right? Yes. And we've got a guest coming in next hour. Yeah, Derek. Dietrich Haddon will be joining us, gospel singer. But up next, we've got front page news with Morgan Wood. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. What up, Morgan? Hey, y'all. Hey, yeah. So let's talk about what happened on the other side of the aisle yesterday. You know, there was RNC going down and President Biden. He sat down with NBC News yesterday speaking to Lester Holt and was pressed about his age, mental fitness, Donald Trump, and how he can turn down the heat in political discourse and rhetoric.

Let's hear more from President Biden's interview with NBC's Lester Holt. Continue to talk about the things that matter to the American public. It matters whether or not you accept the outcome of elections. It matters whether or not you, for example, talk about how you're gonna deal with the border instead of talking about people as being vermin. I'm not out there making fun of, remember the picture of Donald Trump when Nancy Pelosi's husband was hit with a hammer, talking about, joking about it. Look, I've been doing this a long time.

The idea that I'm the old guy, I am, I'm old. But I'm only three years older than Trump. Biden reiterated that he is not dropping out of the race, mainly because he won the primary, adding 14 million people already voted for him, and he's going to listen to them now also that happened um during the interview he was asked about donors and biden responded by saying we're done quote we're done talking about the debate it's time to put donald trump um in a bullseye uh that didn't go over well we backtracked those comments saying he didn't mean to use bullseye when discussing trump of course referencing or maybe it's just too soon referencing that assassination. He don't have to explain that, man.

Like nobody knew that a mistake. Nobody, nobody knew Donald Trump. Somebody will try to take Donald Trump's life like that. He know what his intention was with that. Like, cut it out. That's the thing. Trump don't apologize about nothing. Nothing at all.

Republicans don't apologize about nothing like democrats are always moonwalking that's why they look so cowardice then when he said bullseye we know we know he didn't mean to get shot like we yeah yeah but it's been such that that in itself him stumbling over his words has been such a topic that i mean maybe he feels like he does need to explain himself so he does he went on and said he called it a mistake and added that he doesn't engage in that type of language um he went on to uh he called it a mistake and added that he doesn't engage in that type of language. He went on to he also went on to list times that he thinks Trump did bringing up the Capitol riot several times. Now, Biden did say that he will not debate Donald Trump again anytime soon.

There have been other requests like, will you debate him again? Will you debate him again? So he is scheduled to debate him in September. But he said he is not going to debate to debate him anytime i thought he said he would i thought he said he would debate him again before the election he he said he's only going to debate trump on the next agreed upon date which is in september oh got you and you know listen everything it's not like everything biden was saying wasn't making sense but i've been saying forever you can't focus on what Trump is not doing right. People that like Trump have their mind made up already.

You have to tell the American people what you're doing right. You have to tell the American people what you've done. Just running on this Trump is bad, Trump is bad, Trump is bad, Trump is bad. We good, we good, we good. That ain't going to cut it. People don't care. People don't care about good and bad, right and wrong. They don't care about that. They care about what have you done? You got to tell the American people what you've done for them.

What have you done for me lately? Yes. Let's switch gears to some news out of California. Schools are now banned from mandating teachers to tell parents about gender or student gender identity changes. So if there is an identity change amongst the students, then the teachers cannot say anything to the parents. So Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law on Monday. It comes as school boards or some school boards in California decided to require schools to notify parents when a student changes their name or pronouns or when they ask to use facilities

that don't match their gender on official records. Now, some school districts are in the state are facing lawsuits over this policy change. Eight states have already passed gender notification policies since 2020, while California is the first to ban such policies. That is ridiculous. That is stupid. Like teachers should inform parents about everything. Yes. Anything you see in my child that I don't see, anything that I'm missing in my child,

you have to let me know. Let me know. Yeah, you spend the majority of the day with my kids. So if my kid is born a him and now he's a her, I would like to know. Whatever happens in this classroom, whatever goes on about my kid, I want to know. Protect the child.

Yes, I want to know. That is my child. Anything that happens with my child, you should let me know. Just the same way, if there's things going on with my child, I know that my child is spending the majority of their time with you, the teacher. I have to let you know. I have to let you know about any mental issues, emotional issues, physical issues. Like, absolutely.

Food allergies. Food allergies. That is ridiculous. Big Mac just walked in. Food allergies. Yeah, absolutely. So, yeah, you know, keeping that in mind that, you know, I'm not sure what happens when, you know, minors are under 18. So there's that and uh also a in another story a beauty uh products uh company is being sued by

one of its former store managers in georgia according to the atlanta journal constitution the employee claims she was fired for not hiring someone with the right demographics at a sephora location in alpharetta sephora officials insist the company is an equal opportunity employer the woman's lawyer says the demographics at the store in question are 96 caucasian but the manager hired employees with varying backgrounds so basically they're looking for people with a supposed caucasian style names i wonder if morgan would pass the list what's the caucasian name bill would leonard be one i don't know it's definitely one i'm asking my name is not leonard it's leonard but what's what's the caucasian name you said

you said bill but i can name mad famous black bills cosby bellamy then there's then there's white ones like clinton's i'm saying what is the caucasian name i'm asking like what is the caucasian name maybe karen you know karen's definitely one yeah but then you know we don't care you know what we believe as a culture are Caucasian names I mean who's to say what a Caucasian name is well I think that the black man who's um you know that that's suing should have applied for a black job yeah I was gonna say he's still trying to figure out what black jobs are okay he should have applied for a black job all right all right well that's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood.

You can follow me on social media at Morgan Media, M-O-R-G-Y-N-M-E-D-I-A. And for more news coverage, you know, we've got it here at the Black Information Network at BINnews.com. Peace, Morgan. Thank you, Morgan. Now, when we come back, Dietrich Haddon will be joining us. Gospel singer. His album, One Night in California, is out right now. We're going to chop it up with him next.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.

Yes, indeed. His new album is out right now, One Night in California. Yes. Ladies and gentlemen, Dietrich Haddon. How you doing, brother? Blessings, blessings and favor, y'all. Good to see y'all. How you feeling today? Hey, man, I'm a big fan of the show. right now one night in california ladies and gentlemen dietrich haddon blessings blessings and favor y'all good to see y'all how you feeling today hey man i'm a big fan of the show big fan of yours charlemagne the god jess and big fans good to be here man blessed to be alive and well happy to have you my brother tell us about the title one night in california because you know

it sounds sexual and when you hear that from a gospel artist, you're like, whoa. One night in California, baby. No, no. It's all about, man, the night I had to reaffirm and reconfirm my yes to my calling and my yes to God and my yes to my faith in God. And that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, like an epiphany. What happened in California? Huh? I said, what happened in California? Huh? I said, what happened in California? I had a moment where I just, I had to really, you know, make a decision whether I wanted to continue to sing gospel music and represent God in that way.

You know, because I was so traumatized by what I had gone through. I went through a divorce and, you know, and before the divorce process was over, I met my beautiful wife that I love dearly. Shout out to Dominique. What's up? We had a baby out of wedlock and for the church. That's a no, no. First of all, the's up? We had a baby out of wedlock and for the church. That's a no, no. First of all, the divorce. Then you got a baby out of wedlock.

And once the message, the fan is like, you know, this guy, this is the this is the well done. This is Mr. Sinner's prayer. This is the guy. He's able to sing all these big hit songs and gospel music. And so I had I had I had a season in my life, man, where I just had to really, really realign myself to my calling. And it happens man it happens to everybody not just me it happens to everybody you're gonna have to continue to say yes to the calling that's upon your life because life be lifen do you put a lot of or do people in

general put a lot of pressure on themselves trying to follow every single thing that the bible tells you because there's so many things the bible tells us not to do, and we all fall short. Well, the Bible does talk about the straight and narrow, and that's not easy to do when life is giving you twists and turns. That's right. And the pitfalls and potholes, and on the journey, you can get out of alignment with your assignment. So you're going to, unfortunately, well, fortunately, you're going to have to continue to say yes to whatever your divine assignment is. Whether you're a pastor, whether you're going to have to continue to say yes to whatever your divine assignment is. Whether you're a pastor, whether you're a great announcer, great breakfast club, you're assigned to this. You're going to have to continue to say yes to it.

Because, you know, there's going to be times when you say, man, I don't know if I want to do this. Is this for me? It comes with the journey. But that's the beauty of it. Because that's what ministry is. That's what being fulfilling your calling is. It's blessing others while you're bleeding yourself. I was going to say, now you're from Detroit, right?

Indeed, what up, though? What up, though? So when it came to gospel music, how did you get into gospel music? Oh, I started professionally when I was 16 years old. I was a minister of music in my church choir when I was 13. So I was just gifted early and started pursuing the gospel industry early at 16 years old. So I've been in it for quite some time. Now it's about 30 plus years I've been doing it.

And I love it. I love it. You did it before. It was cool. Oh, come on, Jess. She know it well. You know, I still got two favorite songs. Amen.

Because, look, I was a liturgical dancer back in my day. And I actually, I danced to that song at different churches amen and then never let you go that is the prophesying song oh my god you know that jess listen she's she's holy she's sanctified she's churchy yeah so yeah uh your new album on one night in california i didn't think of anything sexual uh when i heard it thank you you got a different you got like different uh like feels in it like hip-hop or reggae yeah you know like r&b like was that intentional because it is kind of like a gospel mixtape absolutely and that's the way i approached it i started just by approaching it that way i just wanted to just it was a song called i want my respect i was just

on youtube like we all do and see what people got to say about you. And I just seen this slew of people just running me down. Because I had my 50th birthday celebration. I was dancing and whatever. And people, they judge you like crazy. So I went in the studio. It's very therapeutic for me when I make music. So I just went in there and said, I want my respect.

And that was my hook on the song. And so from that song, it birthed all these other songs so it's kind of a mixtape it's amazing that you really uh check that out so uh yeah man it was really this album is really a heat check and kind of like a mixtape because i'm saying things that i normally wouldn't say on one of my albums one of most of my albums you know i'm singing up in the clouds god give god i give you glory. Oh, you're amazing. Oh, we worship you. On this one, I'm talking from my heart.

I'm sharing what I feel. And that's the thing about a lot of gospel artists. We don't, a lot of people don't know how to connect to us because we don't really share what's on our hearts. You know, think about hip hop. That's true. All the rappers, they share what's on their heart. That's what I love about this beef. You hearing what Kendrick got to say to Drake.

So, you know, you know what's on his mind. You don't know what's on their heart that's what i love about this beef you hearing what kendrick got to say to drake so you know you know what's on his mind you don't know what's on these gospel artists mind wait we don't we don't want to hear that we want you to sing about jesus okay it's a way you can sing about jesus right and share your heart because you have to live the journey while you're singing about jesus that's right you got to live this thing out it's never been a gospel beef though right there's never been a two gospel artists going back and forth now let me take my sound crazy it's been beefs but we ain't put it on no song social gospel artist beef though like saying they're human why are you not human man they're not aliens envy i know but i mean i don't know okay listen we don't put it we're not crazy

enough to put it in the song but it's a whole lot of stuff that goes on in our industry, and we're sworn to secrecy because we got to live. It's a code. We're spreading the gospel. See, that's the thing about the gospel community. You can easily mask what you're doing by saying Jesus, Jesus, and not have integrity and character behind closed doors. So it makes it easy for you to do a whole lot of dirt. So there's more dirt in that community than it is in the secular community. And I don't want people to don't come down on me about that.

I'm just telling you the truth. I've lived it. I've been, I'm an authority in this. I've been here for 30 years. So I guess I can tell the truth. I wonder if it's more of, it's just amplified because it is the gospel community and people think these

things shouldn't happen in the gospel community. Right. I think it's, it's, it's amplified and it's, it's happening, you know, because most people are in the gospel community right i think is is amplified and it's it's happening you know because most people are in the gospel music we're trying that's that's what it's about you you're you're trying to fulfill a divine assignment while you're being human and when that human side comes in it kicks in whether you're a preacher whether you're a gospel singer

it kicks in and you just have to again back to my song, One Night in California, you have to realign yourself. You've got to repent. You've got to get back on track. You've got to take responsibility for your piece of the problem and keep going. And that's the beauty of the gospel. Well, even with that being said, do you feel like you have to fully give your life to the Lord to make gospel music? I believe that singing the gospel or preaching the gospel is a divine calling. It's a divine assignment. It's more than just a career choice. It's what you are called to

do. And so you, and yes, there were sacrifices and requirements to represent God fully where people can look in your eyes and see the truth and hear what you're saying and know that you're speaking truth. And so, uh, and if you're fake about it uh it's gonna come off fake if you're real about it what's real reaches real people and i think that's that's what's missing missing from a lot of gospel music as you just said the testimonies i feel like you know when you go through things in life if you have a platform you're supposed to share those things whether it's comedy or whether it's radio or this music, whatever it is, or whether it's just giving a speech. You said you should share those testimonies.

Man, a lot of a lot of artists are really prophets and people that are signed to the earth to put great to God's message to the world. Even though that's not saying I'm a prophet prophet i go to church every day and all that there are people that are called by god to do what they're doing to send love in the atmosphere to send strength in the atmosphere to make people laugh that's a gift from god every good and perfect gifts come from the lord it's men the wicked hearts of men that perverts it all right we got more with dietrich haddon when we come back gospel singer his album one night in california is out right now it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's dj envy just hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking him a gospel singer dietrich haddon i was gonna ask so you also write for

artists that are not gospel artists absolutely so how do you do when you're writing those records for people man i can write a love song better than probably anybody that wrote it. Because when you talk about God, it's love. God is love. I wrote three songs. Shout out to Zay Tobin and Usher. Usher's my brother. My brothers and they let me write on that Usher A album.

I think I did Say What You Wanted. Three songs on there. Hey, what's up? This is Ramses Jha. And I go by the name Q Ward. And we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cipher.

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. Nimminy 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 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 iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. And if they could believe I was in there, all the young cast, these records that you're writing, this is, I was like, man, hey, this is our gift. We're flowing in our gift. This is how we make money. You know what I'm saying? Now you ask me how do I live, what I do when I go home, I'm not trying to go out and do

nothing crazy. I got my wife, I got my purpose, I'm trying to build legacy and when it's time to write the opportunity again I'm going to write you want me to come sing at the where can I inspire people in that space I'm coming when you write for others do you try to use them as a vehicle to get

your message out or do you get into their world and write from their perspective because I wonder how people would feel about that do they say oh you're writing secular music no I can't be concerned about how people feel about how I use my gift or how God wants me to use my gift I like to get into the heart and mind of the artists and see where they are and try to help relay their message and so that's it just you try to express what they're trying to express you know I can't come in there talking

about you need to say Jesus you need to make a gospel song no no if that's what you want to do i help you do that if you want to talk about love there's some songs that they may want to do that that's not really my thing so i give it over to my partner this dick and write and that's what he'd kill it and i come in and bring the melody you know and so that's my strength melodies and love songs you know so i stay in my lane so I can be successful. And you're a PK, right? Oh, yeah. Were you a straight and narrow PK or did you have your wild ways?

I'd be lying if I said it was straight and narrow. The PK kids be the wildest. They say the PKs are the worst kids, man. But we the ones have to deal with the most pressure. You got to be saved and holy before you're really holy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. you know what i'm saying you gotta be the perfect example of truth you know among the your peers before you really know what that means yeah you know what i'm saying so it's it's rough shout out to all the pks i'm representing all y'all we yeah we standing up did you did your father your

father's bishop clarence be hadn't seen you right yes sir did he um did he give you grace when you did fall short or did he demand you ride to that level of being no i come yeah i come from the old school church doc if you saying you're going to the front row and they're gonna they're gonna let you see so you won't do it again they had a good heart good intentions but that wasn't a way to do it and that's why I don't do that at my church in California. People fall short. They repent of their sins. You know, whoever they offended or, you know, they got to answer to them or repent to them. And then you keep going because we all fall short and come short of the glory of God.

Nobody's perfect. The Bible says the scriptures is deep scripture. He said, if a man says he has no sin, he is a liar. And the truth is not in him. Because there's sin in all of us. Because the Bible says in this flesh worketh no good thing. And that's where the Holy Spirit comes into play. It's very important to have the Holy Spirit.

It's going to help you navigate through all this stuff that the flesh wants to do. You once said that you was called to preach at the age of 10. Yeah. That is young. How was that experience? What do you mean like you were called like describe that experience if you can i literally heard the voice of god speak to me and tell me dietrich you're gonna sing and preach the gospel you sure that wasn't bishop clarence it could have been his voice but watch this i was by myself in my room guess what

i went straight to my mother's room and told her just what I just heard. She put me right up that next Sunday. You said you called to preach. She got me a robe and a Bible and put me up. You remember the first sermon? Listen, I lost everything, my train of thought and everything in front of a whole crowd of people. That's right. I read my scriptures, sang my song. Then I just lost my, because I looked at my friends talking about, I was 10 years old.

That's too much pressure. But from that point on, I'm never at a loss for words you know because i said i ain't gonna never let them laugh at me again i learned every bible verse every scripture so i could never be laughed at again wow i saw in the song my respect you say my i bought a new sound and gospel music i paved the way i did it way back in the day 20 years later you still here and you say you got to give credit where credit's due. Do you feel like you still don't get the credit for paving the way of a new sound in gospel music? I think there are opportunities for people to acknowledge my part in it where they deliberately keep it out of there. Because people, it's such a small genre.

So people are holding on to their piece of the pie. You know what I'm saying? They think by ignoring you or trying to omit your part will help them maintain what they have and i don't think that's good at all for gospel music i think it's important for all of us to respect all of our contributions to gospel music i'm just saying hey look i'll earn my stripes i've been 30 years plus in this business i got my battle scars for i've paid my dues in the gospel industry you know a lot of times people tend to look at the the few people when you think about gospel music,

you think of, what's the first few names that come to your mind? Kirk Franklin. Boom. Regina Bell. Regina Bell? Regina Bell. I'm thinking about my God, my God.

Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. No, no, no disrespect to Regina Bell. But honestly, Kirk Franklin. Mary Mary. Boom. So you can name off the few. Yeah. That's probably where it stops.

But I want to tell everybody, there's a whole slew of incredible gospel artists, and I want to motivate y'all to look into them. Well, Jess is into gospel music, so. Yeah, and she knew my songs. I just know. So I can tell she's into the industry. She knows the music. Who are yours, Jess?

Well, my first, like my top five? Yeah. So we have Yolanda Adams. I do like Hezekiah Walker. I like Fred Hammond. I grew up on Dietrich Hatton and Ty Tribbett. Those were my two favorites. Of course, then you go to women, the CeCe Wines, the Bebe Wines, you know all of them.

But when you want to really feel like when you're going through something, you can play a song, you can cry through the song. That's different. That's your Fred Hammond. That's your Dietrich. You know, like, that that's what i like she has the perfect balance of righteous and ratchet it's like crazy she's the perfect balance like she is the perfect balance she loved music i love it too man i listen to it all i listen to it all it's incredible now there was a pastor that that uh told a woman to hush during during worship oh what you mean a pastor that's pastor keon henderson man what you mean a pastor there was a pastor that told a woman to hush during worship. Oh, you don't give me trouble with that. Pastor Keon Henderson, man.

What do you mean, a pastor? There was a pastor. Show that man some respect. Pastor Keon Henderson. We want his respect. And you was kind of upset about that. I wasn't upset. I just had a perspective.

What was your perspective? I got the utmost respect for Pastor Keon Henderson. I don't want him to feel like Dietrich is out for him. But I just don't agree with how he handled that matter. I think that you have to keep in mind that's one of your sheep. You're the shepherd. You're responsible to cover her. And if she's crying, it means she's hurting.

And also could mean that you've said something that impacted her. And if people can't holler in church, what can they holler? Sometimes that's all. That's the only thing they could do is to get to church and just let it out. You know, you'd be surprised what people are going through through the week. So me personally, this Dietrich, if you come to my my church you can holler from the point that you get walk through the door to the end because I understand people need God they need help and they need a place where they can release and I've been in church all my life you talked about my dad Bishop Haddon me personally

I've never seen any pastor hush a woman up like that it's a new day so it's a new so but i'm old school when it comes to that i'm a i'm a young man but i got old school principles when it comes to church like the church belonged to god's people that's where people supposed to praise that's where they're supposed to cry when the holy spirit moves on them you hold back it's not about you it's about god moving for the people now let's play let's play i don't want to say devil's advocate don't get me in trouble but no you're my boy don't don't don't because we're not enemies because pastor keon said that this wasn't an isolated incident and i don't know i'm not saying that this is what happened but whatever you in church i'm just using the scenario you in church and it's a person that come to church all the time yeah and they always they go live while they in there and they cut up yeah i mean they cut up i mean they act like they got

the holy break dancing on the floor i mean they just going crazy right every service and they're kind of being disruptive would you be like all right sister all right brother no i will never hush them because i understand they may have a husband son daughter family and they're coming after you after church yeah yeah services if you hush my mother up i dare you yeah yeah yeah i don't care how much i sing the gospel i'm coming after you so you got to use wisdom right there you know what i'm saying but you never do that did you have a conversation privately no man i was i was in contact him with him sometime in the past but i don't i don't force relationships at all all right we got more with didrick hatter when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning at all. The legend, the icon. And he was kind of critical of R&B artists who make gospel music.

Oh, Lord. You know, just to get radio play, use the format to get a hit song. If I remember correctly, he said that that's what people do when nothing's working for them. Oh, Father. That's what he said. In the other genres of music. It's the truth, man. I wish I could say differently.

And I'm a fan of a lot of artists, man. A fan of, you know, I love artists, whether it be actors, whether it be Will Smith doing his gospel song. I'm man a fan of you know i love artists whether it be actors whether it be will smith doing his gospel song i'm a big fan of his whether it be kanye i'm a big fan of his previous work uh as a producer i respect him highly but it that seems like that's the trend now where people when they kind of falling off they they look to god they look to the church and they go because they can easily get a number one among church folk because church folk we just so glad you done came in here and let's just get Will Smith in here Kanye West and we give them number one they overwrite anybody else has been in the gospel industry we give you all the number ones I got a problem with that piece just that little

piece right there but I don't have a problem with them making their gospel songs but those of us that are in it we live it we live eat breathe this it's like hip-hop there people that live eat breathe hip hop we live eat breathe this gospel and so when you come in we expect you when you do that we like okay you coming in brother you coming in you gonna help us build this thing we go on to the next level then you go you get your number one you back with people loving you again and where you at what we thought you was now you're doing what you're doing you got your wife walking around naked butt naked we thought you was the mr sunday service what

happened number one album number one you got your number one are you gone but could it be like that that's how he felt in that moment like when he created like fences we can go even further back with jesus walks right when he did jesus for instance, we can go even further back with Jesus Walks, right? When he did Jesus Walks, that's considered a gospel record, right? Yeah, to me it was. When he did that, that was when, when he put that out, people were like, what the hell are you doing? Right. And it was on the gospel charts and hip hop charts.

So it opened up a world of people. Oh, Jesus Walks made the gospel charts? Huh? I think it did. I think it did. They were playing it like crazy too. It was everywhere. And even when he did his Sunday service, a lot of people came out there for worship

that usually or maybe wouldn't go to church as often what message are you sending now because you ain't doing Sunday service no more you ain't singing no gospel music no more now you cussing and acting like you ain't never knew Jesus but then we could talk about pastors and preachers that have been preaching and now what they doing now

they're fake prophesizing they're cheating they're doing something like that're fake prophesizing, they're cheating, they're doing something like that. So it's kind of the same. I don't think it's the same. Everybody going to have to give an account for what they're doing. Correct.

Because at the end of the day, that judgment day is coming. Right. For all of us. Absolutely. I'm not here to judge nobody. I'm just telling you what I don't like to see

because I live this gospel. Because we've seen Snoop do it. Snoop did a gospel album. And I'm a big Snoop fan. Snoop did a gospel album? Yes. He got a Grammy for it. Oh, this is what I like about Snoop though. Snoop went it. Snoop did a gospel album. And I'm a big Snoop fan. Snoop did a gospel album? Yes. He got a Grammy for it. Oh, this is what I like about Snoop, though.

Snoop went and got the artist in the genre and put it on the album. It wasn't just about Snoop. He brought Rance Allen, who was like the greatest male vocalist of all time, who never really got his respect. He got a number one song with Rance Allen. So we look at that as gospel artists. We like, man, Snoop is really about that. He's in it.

He loves gospel music. He may not have the conviction. He may have some weaknesses and things like that. But we know he loves gospel music because we've seen who he pulled together. You got the artist. Not just the big names that everybody always go to. You went and got the artist. So you love the genre.

You love the community. But other ones i don't see what's going on i don't see you you still doing you trying to i don't know i'm not here to judge you know this sounds like a little bit you know how when the country artists be like don't do no country records like you you stay in your own beat but like no if i want to try country because country's in my heart and this is how i'm feeling right now you should be able to express yourself in that way i feel like this is bigger than a genre of music for y'all, though. I think in a way, it's like, I guess it's in a way, like, stop playing with God.

Yeah. Boom. Boom. You said something about country music. That's what I love about country music. I think Beyonce deserves to do any country song. She's from Texas. She lived that life.

You see what I'm saying? So she can do that. But I like the fact that they have some guardrails up where you got to come through somebody to just, you ain't going to just make a country song. You song you gotta they make you work for are they gonna box you out right gospel music you just anybody can wake up tomorrow and say i want to sing gospel because i'm falling off and i want to do i want to get that number one i know the community gonna support me then they get that number one then they gone where are the guardrails where where the people to say no man you what what you doing you gotta live this thing bro you can do your gospel song but don't play with us don't play with god right where the people at where the leaders at you see what i'm saying they're gatekeepers i mean leaders in hip-hop

you can't just up and just if you ain't really about that life man they don't take that's what kendrick said no you drake you are you really about this you know what i'm saying it's like man it's guardrails, bro. You done came in and you did what you did, but that's enough. If you're going to be about it, you got to really be about it. That's what he's saying. Somebody could say that about preachers and pastors and people in the church too, right? We talk about if you're going to be about it, you be about it. But then we'll hear preachers and pastors and deacons that people look up to because they're in the church.

They read the Bible. They take the classes. They're more, think tied into quote-unquote regular people but then when you see them doing some foul it's just the same feeling the same feeling man you know you got it you got to hold people accountable i'm not here to cover nobody if you're doing wrong you somebody got to hold you accountable back to the music it's like yeah man we want people to really because it's people that's really sacrificing man to stay in this i've turned down at least five secular record deals on my journey because it's a calling you know i'm saying i signed a deal with airstate it was done when i was a kid i walked away from it because this is a calling and now to see you just come in and just do what

you want to do it then walk away and just don't it don't sit right in in my heart right or anybody else's heart who've been living this thing sacrificing we could make money just like anybody else i'm not singing gospel because i could make it anywhere else i'm doing it because this is what this is me since i was a kid this is my assignment on earth you got to understand that when you decide to and i'm not telling anybody not to do this gospel but really consider this is a real thing where we make sacrifices when we want to go out and have sex with we can't we want to go out and do this gospel but really consider this is a real thing when we make sacrifices when we want to go out and have sex with we can't we want to go out and do this and that we can't it's a sacrifice

at least we have that heart that says man i can't i can't do that because i'm singing this gospel you know i'm saying it's a sacrifice it's a lifestyle even when you fall short at least i'm over here trying do you feel pressure to maintain an image because you are a man of the church? I saw they got a little upset with you because they saw your wife twerking. Oh, man, my wife don't twerk. I wanted to twerk, Doc. I wanted to enjoy herself. I love every single bit of it.

I'm a man's man. That's the Holy Spirit. Why we think the Holy Spirit can't show up in a twerk? Oh, yeah, because that's your wife. That's my wife. That's right. That's my significant other. The Bible says the marriage bed is undefiled. What we got going on between us ain because that's your wife. That's my wife. That's right. That's my significant other. The Bible says the marriage bed is undefiled.

What we got going on between us ain't none of your business. That's right. And if I let you in on my life, give you a little clip of something, just enjoy. I'm letting you in on my life. I didn't have to do that. Yeah. I'm trying to show people how to live this kind of life without losing your integrity. Just enjoy yourself.

You know what I'm saying? Jesus said, I come that you might have life and have it more abundantly. Christian's got it wrong he came so you can enjoy this life without going down the hole of sin and that's what he showed us that's what he showed us jesus went to the wedding turned the water into wine but guess what he did when he got done doing that he went to healing and fulfilling his assignment he went to the cross so he's showing you balance and so i i don't i don't know what to say to people that got a problem with my freedom. I know my freedom offends people, but I can't help that. I'm living my life.

Well, Dietrich, we appreciate you for joining us today. One Night in California is out right now. That's right. And it's the Breakfast Club. Oh, man, the brother got to end us with a prayer. What is you doing? Come on, Envy. Father, we thank you for the Breakfast Club and what they mean to the culture.

God, continue to elevate them. Continue to bless them. Give them the wisdom, the strength, and the fortitude to continue to do what you call them to do. Continue to give them the heart to open up doors for people that are called to speak for you on your behalf. I give you praise for them. Bless their families. Bless everything they put their hearts to do. Just touch them, God, and just continue to do what you're doing for them.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen. Amen. amen thank you it's the breakfast club good morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club jess is out today well she's sick i mean you know she's got what she's pregnant yeah two weeks until she has that little baby that's right you know so she woke up this morning with some extreme morning sickness so we get it yeah so she's up this morning with some extreme morning sickness, so we get it. Yeah, so she's out today. She shouldn't have been here yesterday. She definitely should have been here yesterday. Go stay your ass at home. I agree. Well, let's get to Jess with the mess.

Let's get to the mess. The news is real. Jessica Lawrence, Jessica Robin Moore, Jess don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide message. On The Breakfast Club. She's a coachess.

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. Well, if you've been following the Young Thug in the YSL case, you know it's been on halt since July 1st. Now this is because Young Thug's attorney Brian Steele confronted the judge last month after learning about a private meeting and now the judge has been removed from the case. Tonight at 6 we

now know the name of the judge who's going to take over the proceedings in the YSL RICO trial against rapper Young Thug and the other alleged gang members. This comes after the previous judge was removed. According to the Fulton County Clerk's Office, Judge Shakira Ingram will take over the case. She has served on the Superior Court of Fulton County since 2018. Now today, a Fulton County Superior Court judge removed Judge Ural Glanville from the case following complaints about a private meeting held last month. Judge Glanville from the case following complaints about a private meeting held

last month. Judge Glanville, prosecutors and a witness were in attendance, but defense attorneys were not, which led to calls for the judge to recuse himself. The judge who ruled on his removal said today that she believes Glanville likely would have continued to preside fairly over the case, but this has to be done to preserve the public's confidence in the judicial system i'm clearly not no legal scholar but it sounds to me like they don't got no damn case and it's looked like they haven't had no damn case since this trial started and shouldn't they give jeffrey at least a bond yeah let him come home be able to make a little living and fight his case from the comfort of his own crib? I think so. It doesn't seem very fair, if we could say that.

I mean, this case has been on hold for a while. And like you said, he's been sitting there. He's not able to make any money. And it seems like every time they have a witness or every time they bring something forward to the judge or to the stand, it just doesn't seem like it sticks. This trial is jokey. All right?

Jokey. Okay? Jokey. This trial jokey now, salute to the 843. This trial is jokey all right jokey okay jokey it's trial jokey now salute to the 843 this trial very jokey okay that's the best way to describe this trial jokey all right well now we got to jump into cam mace and uh shakur stevenson now jess of course reported about cam ron and mace making fun of shakur stevenson saying that the fight was boring well jay prince we all know who jay prince the og from Houston, he manages Shakur Stevens and posted the actual numbers.

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, 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. 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. 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. The network has 1.18 million people, but it said it peaked at 1.2 million people. That's the amount of people that were actually watching the fight. And then he responded, says, let the haters say that he's boring and nobody wants to watch him. Sorry to tell you, it's just a select few of you haters.

As you can see, there's proof that he has the number one ratings in any fight on ESPN this year and the top three ratings since 2022. And to all you haters who want to escalate that hate outside of the ring, I'm Shakur's manager and I can handle all this business outside of the ring. In other words, Cam and Mace, I will fade all his shots and take all bets. Well, you know, Cam and Mace, they have their own show. It is what it is. And they responded yesterday. So then we talking to you then all right i want to just start off by saying you are so lacking self-awareness when you give such a lackluster

performance and then you think you can make threats to people because you gave a lackluster performance pause you don't have the right to tell me what i should like or to tell cam what he should like that's that's not your place and i'm gonna tell you another thing when you're dealing with older people they're the last to know that things have changed we're not your little like the way you talk and i don't get what you mean we're not your little n****s. Like, we don't even respect big homies. I know killer doesn't. And for me, I never respected n****s in the streets. That's why I always got the problems I got. If you're 60 years old and you trying to be a street n****, you failed.

Hey, yo, my man, listen, James. Let me explain something to you, bro. May said it exactly like you,, n***a. You 60. What is you talking about? I lost mad respect for you because I used to have mad respect for you. When your hair should call with you when you line Youngboy NBA up. Why the f*** you got

to call with you? And this is why he acting like that. Talking about you got Youngboy NBA umbrellas in his keys. Youngboy NBA told y'all n***a to eat a d***. This is what he said. This is what young boy NBA said. Drake is beefing with Kendrick Lamar as we speak. I have not heard this the first time Drake got into some

s*** and I hear you say s*** to Kendrick Lamar now. Why do you think that you can tell us what we can and cannot say, my n***a? Control your n***a. Control that n***a. Nobody going to tell a n***a. Get the strap and then we going to sit there and be like, hey, hey. Honestly, this is great for Shakur

Stevenson because it is what it is. Cam and Mace, they gave this Shakur Stevenson fight more promotion than ESPN did. Like, all of this is just marketing. This is the best promotion the Shakur Stevenson fight, the Shakur Stevenson brand could have gotten because nobody outside of the boxing

world, nobody outside of the boxing world, nobody outside of, you know, like true boxing fans would still be talking about this fight anymore if Mason, Cam, and Shakur didn't have these issues. So, I mean, this makes casuals care. And it's actually making people Google who Shakur is. So, you know, it's building his profile to where if a tank fight does happen, people will really pay attention to it.

Yeah, but this is my main problem with all of this, right? And, you know, we know Jay Prince, we know Cam Mason, of course, Shakur Stevenson. But they do a show, and during their show, they talk about things that they want to discuss, whether they like a fight or they don't like a fight. But my problem is this. You have every analyst talking about the fight.

And any analyst can say whatever, especially white analysts. They can say they don't like it. They can say they thought the fight. And any analyst can say whatever, especially white analysts. They can say they don't like it. They can say they thought the fight was boring. But how come nobody goes at those white analysts like that? Because they never brought it to the streets. Cam and Mason said they didn't like the fight. They thought the fight was boring.

Nobody ever said they wanted to fight or come with the guns. That's all they said. And then it escalated past that. Yeah, but the white analysts ain't talking like Cam and Mace talk. No. Cam and Mace funny. Cam and Mace got people laughing at you. You know what I mean? They doing sketches

while they watching you fight acting like they falling asleep. What are you talking about? Shut up. But white analysts all the time say a fight is boring and nobody wants to watch the fight and the person

can't fight. It's the same thing. No, it's not. Yes, it is. No, it's not. It's regular critique and then it's funny analysis that makes people laugh at you.

Nobody likes to get laughed at. When you go online and you see a bunch of people laughing at you, now you pissed off. Stop acting like you don't know what that is. Cut it out. You know what that is. Analysts is analysts. Cam and Mace are making people laugh at Shakur. And that's what pissed Shakur off.

That's just reality of the situation. Analysts do that all day long. Say the fight was boring. I wouldn't pay for another fight. The fight was trash. Those analysts are nothing like Cam and Mace. They're not as funny as Cam and Mace. Like I said, they're not doing skits and sketches like Cam and Mace. They don't speak

to the culture like Cam and Mace. And ain't nobody paying attention to their critique. When somebody like Chico Stevenson sees the culture in his comments, laughing at him because of something Cam and Mace said, it's just different. And you know that. But you can't say, I want to go fight him.

Let's meet me in the ring. You're a fighter. You can say whatever you want. Cam and May are going to say, meet me in the booth. Listen, you can say whatever you want, just like Cam and May say whatever they want. You can say whatever you want. Anybody can say whatever they want in a back and forth. It's just reality of the situation.

Yeah, but we don't want to go past that, though. We don't want it to go past the back and forth. It's not. And it's great promotion for Shakur Stevensonson all right well that is the mess now charlamagne who you giving y'all donkey two man four after the hour man let's argue let's start an argument this morning on the radio why not okay what you mean well we're going to talk about california being the first u.s state to ban school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their child's gender identification all right you see right let's start an argument okay let's let's jump right into it okay all right let's get

into the next so i need lawmakers in california to come to the front of the congregation we'd like to have a word with them all right we'll get to that next is the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same some donkey today's just saw themselves Your mornings will never be the same. Some donkey todays just saw themselves. I've been watching, Charlemagne. What's ready for you? Hey, donkey.

I'm a donkey. I never heard of a donkey the other day. What is it? I'm a donkey. Say it again, Charlemagne. I'm a donkey. Yes, you are a donkey. I'll show you how to act a donkey.

Everything that Charlemagne is saying is true. Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, July 16th goes the lawmakers in California. Today's the 16th, right? Yes. Tuesday, July 16th goes the lawmakers in California who yesterday made California the first U.S. state to ban school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their child's gender identification change under a law signed Monday by Gavin Newsom. You heard me right. California is the first state to ban school rules requiring parents get notified of their child's pronoun change. Let's go to W.L.B.Y. three news for the report, please. It's a first in the nation law. The governor bans policies that require teachers to tell parents if their child asks to change their gender identification well i think

with uh the governor signing ab 1955 it's actually going to just cause more confusion rockland unified is one of at least six other districts in the state that tried passing similar policies many met with legal challenges and while it's being praised as a way to protect LGBTQ students from so-called forced outings, If parents aren't supportive of their children, then the children shouldn't have to tell the parents. Some say it could interfere with parent transparency. Yeah, the biggest sticking point in why I'm opposed to AB 1955 is that it's going to uh have others on the other side try to force school districts to keep secrets from parents and i think that's a non-starter for me i agree that was actually a wlbt3 news for the report and this is where politicians lose me

every damn time i wouldn't care if my child identified as a teenage mutant ninja turtle okay they could come in that classroom and say they leonardo donatello rafael and michelangelo teacher you better tell me so i know what the hell's going on got me confused as hell when my kid comes home craving pizza all the damn time walking around with weapons like nunchucks and twin katanas a bow twin size they doing kicks wearing bandana mask and i'm trying to figure out what the hell is going on then i come to you okay as a parent okay parent to teach you and ask you if you've noticed any changes and you tell me you're not allowed to disclose that information see this is the problem we us okay as a society we're not a village you

know we're not a village when it comes to our kids we're supposed to work as one unit what i don't see as a parent you may see as a teacher what you don't know about my child as a teacher i may have information as a parent that can help you. We got to work in concert with each other. OK, Brandon Richards, a spokesperson for Gavin Newsom, says this law helps keep children safe while protecting the critical role of parents. He said in a statement, it protects the child parent relationship by preventing politicians and school staff from inappropriately intervening in family matters and attempting to control if, when, and how families have deeply personal conversations. Brandon, as your leader Joe Biden says quite often, that's a bunch of malarkey. Okay, to me, you're doing the opposite.

If my child comes out of school, comes out to you, but hasn't come out to me yet, then that means my child may be dealing with a whole lot of backlash, a whole lot of hate, a whole lot of prejudice that their young mind can't navigate through and i would like to be there to help them do that what happens if my child you know god forbid kills themselves because they're getting bullied because of their gender identity and i had no idea okay i had no idea that's what they even identified as i didn't know they identified as something else how can you as a teacher sleep at night knowing you knew but didn't tell me their parent or guardian? And how hot would a parent be if they found out you had that information and didn't tell me?

Jonathan Zachrisson, an advocate in California who supports what this article calls the parental notification policies, opposes the law and said telling parents about a student's request to change their gender identification is critical to the well-being of children and for maintaining that trust between school and parents i agree okay it's critical to the well-being of children because well you know uh we know how daddy and mommy issues impact us in the future and listen a lot of times kids be thinking their parents are going to be mad at things their parents not even tripping on okay yes if your child comes to you and tells you they identify as thinking their parents are going to be mad at things their parents not even tripping on. OK, yes. If your child comes to you and tells you they identify as another gender, it's going to take you aback. But that's still your child. And most parents are going to love their children regardless. The ones that don't, they're just terrible people. I understand that coming out to your parents is hard.

OK, deciding when to come out is difficult. I get it. People want to do it on their own terms. But when you do come out, I feel like it should be you know your parents first but i don't even want to get caught up in the lgbtq disney plus of it all i just encourage my kids to tell me everything the secrets we keep as a society have done nothing but hurt us okay we don't do ourselves any favor by keeping secrets which is why i tell my kids to tell me everything we will figure it out don't lie to me don't keep nothing from me because nobody gonna help you navigate whatever it is you dealing with better than me and your mama okay your real day ones teachers we have to help each other okay as parents we send our kids off to school every day our kids spend a large part of their days at school with teachers i feel that

teachers should be required to tell parents of any changes to their child's emotional, mental, or physical health. It's only right. Okay. And as a parent, if I know my child has some issues, I should have to tell the teacher to tell the teacher about those issues in order to make their job easier so they can make the proper adjustments. All right. That's just the way the world should work. This child is your responsibility part-time for a brief moment in time. This child is my responsibility forever until they become an adult and start taking care of me. So therefore, you better tell me

everything you know about my child. Tell me everything you learn about my child. Why? Because that's my child. Once again, we don't do ourselves any favors by keeping secrets

and we damn sure don't need California lawmakers making laws to assist my child in keeping them. Please give California lawmakers who made Cali the first U.s state to

ban school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their child's gender identification change the biggest he huh and to me this ain't even about gender identification it's just about encouraging children to keep secrets from their parents i ain't with that i i don't think there's any parents that will agree with this. I don't know. That's what we open the phone lines for. 800-585-1051. Thank you for that donkey today.

Are there anybody out there that agrees with this? I don't know. We about to find out. Call us up right now. 800-585-1051. Because like you said, it's almost like you're encouraging

keeping secrets. Secrets have done nothing but hurt us as a society. Sounds stupid and dumb. Especially in the, in, in, well, I can't say especially cause I only know about the black community.

Why do we say that? Especially in the black community. I'm only, I'm black. That's all I know. Okay. I just know secrets have never helped us as a people. That is so debatable.

I'm black. That is so debatable. I'm black. That's what you say. I'm black. That's what you identify as. Yo, shut up, man. That's what debatable. I'm black. That is so debatable. I'm black. That's what you say. I'm black. That's what you identify as. Yo, shut up, man. I'm black.

That's what you identify as. That's what you identify as. Because that's what I am. That's what you identify as. That's what I am. It's okay. That's what I am. That's okay.

I'm not here to argue with you this morning. Roof. Wow. Roof. Wow. Ask me what I identify now, too. You a black dog? Ask me what I identify now.

Roof. That's what you are. You a black dog? That's what you saying? Meow now you're a black cat so you're just bad luck now you're a black cow now you're a black donkey this is crazy i'm playing this game why are you doing this i don't even know why i'm messing with you 800-585-1051 we're talking about this law that they're trying to pass in california do you agree let's discuss it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj envy jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envish.

Jess Hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Jess Hilarious is out today. And we're asking 800-585-1051 about keeping secrets from your parents. Now, this conversation actually comes from Charlemagne gave somebody donkey today. Yes, California lawmakers yesterday, they signed in a law that made them the first u.s state to ban school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their child's gender identification change it was a law signed by gavin newsom i disagree with the law uh not you know because of the lgbtq aspect of it all i just

disagree with you know um encouraging our children to keep secrets from their parents i feel like you know anything that you see happen to my child in your classroom, any changes to their emotional, mental, or physical well-being, you should absolutely come and tell me as a parent immediately. Yeah, I agree with you. I'm that child's parent, and you're with that child eight hours a day at times, sometimes longer than that. Now, don't get it twisted.

I do believe if there's something wrong, if there's abuse or something like that then then those secrets need to be held because it's for the child's well-being what abuse hold on what you mean like if if there's some type of abuse going on in the household and the parents and the teacher's trying to figure it out i i agree with you know making sure that the child's well-being is fine well if there's abuse going on in the household it's not like a parent would ever go to a teacher and tell the teacher, hey, I'm abusing my child. No, no, but if a teacher is, like if a child is coming home and saying one of their parents is abusing me

or a family member is abusing me. No, that teacher should tell. The teacher has to go through the proper protocol first before they tell the parent to make sure that they're not involved. I don't even know what that protocol is, but if a child comes to a teacher and says to the teacher, hey, my parents are abusing me,

I would definitely want that teacher to tell somebody. Yes, absolutely. The authorities. Somebody, whoever, somebody. A counselor. I would want to get that child some help. But when it comes to anything else, with something that's going on with my child,

like a gender change or whatever it is, something that's going on with my child physically or mentally, I want to be the first person to call. I don't care what it is. Anything that is impacting my child's well-being in any way, shape, or form, I should know about. Period.

There's no ifs, ands, or buts about it to me. We have Brittany on the line. Brittany, good morning. Good morning. How are y'all? Hey, we're doing well, Brittany. What's your thoughts?

I feel like it's a generational thing right now. As hard as it is to say that, I kind of agree with it because I feel like the kids these days are getting the most backlash from their parents. What do you mean? You feel like the parents are harsh to the children more than the teachers?

More than social media? More than the world? No. I think a household, especially your parents, should be a safe place and they should be able to discuss anything with you. That's how you should raise your kids, right? That if anything is going on, good or bad, they should be able to discuss with anything with you that's how you should raise your kids right that if anything is going on good or bad they should be able to discuss that to you it definitely should be just i mean from my experience and from what i see on social media from our generation we're not very accepting of this new

you know gender identity and sexual identity lgbtq plus my generation you know 30 40 year old we just don't really understand it so i kind of feel like they're they're putting that in place to protect the children from the parents that are you know gonna lock them in the closet for that i understand where you're coming from but i totally disagree and i don't want us to generalize because social media is not real life i once again i think anything that happens with my child mentally physically emotionally i want to know about it and that one i understand this is about the lgbtq issue but i don't like to precedent that it sets where it just tells your child to keep secrets from the parents no but not only that if they want to identify whatever they want to identify in school and then when you come home i have no idea what's going on that actually hurts the child more

because the child can't be free you a ninja Turtle at school and then you come home, you know what I'm saying, doing Kung Fu kicks and wanting pizza all the damn time and I'm trying to figure out what the hell going on. Yeah, what's with you with the Ninja Turtle stuff? I'm at school wondering, what y'all teaching my child? That's what I'll be wondering. Why is my child coming home with this bandana mask on talking about cowabunga? Hello, who's this?

Hi, my name is Light john hey like john hey how are y'all doing this morning doing good what's your thought like john i am on the fence with this law um i'm a licensed therapist in the state of georgia and so one of my things is confidentiality if i have a kid that tells me that they identify as something, I'm not necessarily obligated to tell the parent. Unless something causes harm, like we're talking about suicidal thoughts, self-injurious behavior, then I look the parents in on that. But identity, I don't have to do that. I do encourage my clients to be honest with their parents. But some of these kids are terrified of their parents' responses.

And I don't blame them yeah but you was a kid once right and you know you're you're a licensed therapist but and you were a kid once and you know that a lot of times a lot of the things that we thought our parents were going to be so upset about they weren't they were actually more upset that we didn't tell them about it that we didn't come to them with it absolutely i agree with that but there are some parents who just will not budge. No, and I understand that. I get that and I understand that. But also, like, if my kid is going through something where to the point where they want to identify as something else, I think it kind of makes it worse that at school they could be free, but at home they can't be. And especially if a parent has no idea or no understanding what they're going through.

I get that. I definitely get it. I just feel like parents are not open. They can't be, and especially if a parent has no idea or no understanding what they're going through. I get that. I definitely get it. I just feel like sometimes parents are not open enough for their kids to feel like they can talk to them, and that's the real issue. Let me tell you, you're a therapist, so you can ask this, and you can answer this, and you said something. You said that, you know, you got client confidentiality, but if it's something like suicidal thoughts or a person's hurting themselves, then you want to say something. Isn't that the same thing with this, right? Because if my child is going through something like identifying as another gender and they're dealing with all types of backlash from all types of other places and I know nothing about it, how devastated would I be as a parent if my child took their life and I didn't even know anything about it? Because it could get there.

I couldn't even help them navigate with what they were dealing with because I didn't know absolutely it could get there and I think if there is some sort of bullying going on the parents should be notified about that but if it's just the gender identity or they want to go by a different pronoun because they're trying to fill out different things hey what's up this is Ramses Jha and I go by the name Q Ward and we'd like you to join us each week for our show Civic Cipher. That's right. We're going to discuss social issues, especially those that affect black and brown people, but in a way that informs and empowers all people to hopefully create better allies.

Whether you're Black, Asian, White, Latinx, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, you name it. If you stand with us, then we stand with you.

Listen to Civic Cipher every Saturday

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 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. 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. I don't think that has to be said immediately. So like Lil Jon, what's your name? I said Lil Jon. What's your name?

How do you pronounce it again? Lijon. Lijon. I mean, because I could imagine if my child took their own life over something based off of something that they told you and I had no idea about and I found out later on and I could have tried to help them and try to help them deal with it. I would try to tear that school up because the fact that they didn't tell me where I couldn't make the decision to try to get them extra help or maybe be understanding to them. I would tear that school up.

That's right. Because that's my child at the end of the day. Thank you for calling. I don't even know why the school wouldn't take on that kind of responsibility to be honest with you. I don't know. 800. In liability. 585-1051. Charlemagne gave donkey the day to who, Charlemagne?

California state lawmakers who Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law yesterday that made California the first U.S. state to ban school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their child's gender identification change all right well we're taking your calls do you agree with it it's the breakfast club if y'all talking about it you know we talking about it it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv jess hilarious charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club if

you're just joining us well first of all jess hilarious is out today but charlamagne gave donkey the date to who california lawmakers the law got signed uh yesterday by gavin newsom that made them the first u.s state to ban school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their child's gender identification change. All right. And we're asking 800-585-1051. What's your thoughts? We got John on the line. John, good morning. What's happening, Pippin? Hey, what's up? What's your thoughts? I got a different angle on this. I could agree. I could agree. And I'll tell you why. I can't speak to how white folks do in their home, but I know in black homes, especially with black fathers, we say

all the time, yo, I don't do that gay s***. I don't do that gay s***. So if you got a son that's kind of feeling that way and all he hears is his father and his friends saying, I don't do that gay s***, but he got a teacher at school that he's with all the time, like you said, they're with the teacher most of the time. He has a close

relationship and he feels comfortable telling that teacher that teacher that of course you would tell a teacher not his father because you know his father has always said you don't do that gay matter of fact i heard a rap record on the radio the other day they said my my greatest fear is having a great a gay son so i could see a kid not wanting to tell his parents because all he's ever heard is his parents saying we don't do that gay you're doing a lot of generalizations and it's actually a lot of old school generalizations because i could because i could easily point to somebody like duane wayne and say look at that brother yeah and the phenomenal job he's doing with his daughter you know i mean so it's just like like things change like you know you gotta we gotta we gotta

start updating we gotta start updating our profiles man and john let me ask you And John, let me ask you a question. John, let me ask you a question. You say, we don't do that gay-ish, we don't do that gay-ish. But imagine if your son took his life because he couldn't talk to his dad. How would you feel then? Would you still feel like, we don't do that gay-ish? Or do you care more about your son's feeling and your son's being around? How would his dad feel knowing that he said that around his son all this time

and his son wasn't comfortable enough to tell him, but he told the teacher. He would feel like s*** because he made his son feel that way all his life. I agree. But that's what we have to change as a generation. Like we said, we can't be like that. Yeah, I feel you. I'm just saying, I can see it being, you know, not being so against it because there are kids that got that hard parent that always said, you know,

they're not going to go for that. We're not going for that. And I can tell you was born in the 1900s. Absolutely. Like I am. That's what I'm saying. Absolutely.

Our generation was different. There's a whole new generation of black fathers out here, bro. They not like our daddies. That's right. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Devon from Jersey. What's up, Envy? Devon from Jersey. What's up, brotherdies that's right hello who's this hey it's devon from jersey what's up envy from jersey what's up brother he's king what's your thoughts yeah so this morning i

actually was listening to y'all this morning and i brought it up earlier um and my my fiance she's a teacher and she's like she kind of feels what california is doing and i'm saying no because charlamagne has a point now we're gonna start a generation of people of kids lying to us about what's going on and we can't help them um she's saying basically that there's this there's kids that go home and they don't want to go home because they you know you tell your your father you tell your mother that you're this that and the third you're gonna get your ass whooped or you're gonna possibly killed you know like abuse but i don't i don't feel it she's not wrong but that's the worst case scenario what i what i would say to her because you're gonna have you gonna need this later when you go home and y'all still debating about it what i would say to her

is do teachers really want that liability if they knew this child you know had this secret and this child might be dealing with all type of backlash on social media this child might be getting bullied what if this child god forbid takes their life and you as a parent knew nothing about what they were dealing with but you knew that but the teacher knew does the teacher really want that liability no not at all exactly and you know we both in education so yeah i definitely feel what you're saying but she she's looking at and i get where she's coming from but you're right the liability of that but not only that you can't generalize every family you can't generalize every home and they can't pick and choose so if they pass this law they're not allowed

to say it at all and i don't think that's fair to parents who are understanding parents who do care about their kids parents who want to make sure their kids are comfortable and safe and don't have any harm regardless in the household or out in the world and if if that was my situation with my kids i would be hurt because i would want to help my son or my daughter as much as possible exactly so yeah love y'all brothers y'all i'll be at the car show but yeah i wanted to hear this Okay Alright You said you're a teacher Where you teach at? So we're in

So she's in Edison And I'm in Sparta Okay Well stay on hold Because if you got some students That I know a lot of times I hear from teachers

That sometimes students Can't afford the show Or can't afford the tickets I want to give you Some tickets To make sure that All the kids can go And enjoy themselves Appreciate that Envy Hold on okay Alright So what's the moral of the tickets i want to give you uh some some tickets to make sure that that all the kids can go and enjoy themselves appreciate that envy hold on okay all right wow so what's the moral of

the story uh the moral of the story for me is man you know i just you know don't want us to continue to keep secrets from each other like i really truly feel like the secrets we keep as a society have a keep as a society have done nothing but hurt us and we don't do it ourselves any favors by keeping secrets and we shouldn't be encouraging kids not to tell things you know to their parents and listen if you do tell your parents things and you know uh your parents react a certain way depending on what it is if it's something like gender identity or your sexuality they're just terrible people that's right you know and and hopefully as a village you can help you have others to help you navigate through that but i'm telling you man and i think we all learn this as children there's things that you know we thought our parents would be upset about when we came to them with it and they weren't mad at all they were

just mad we didn't tell them correct and you know I tell my kids all the time, man, we can navigate our way through anything. I'll help you get through anything. Just don't lie to me about it and tell me what's going on so I can actually help. That's right. And don't forget, yes, my call show is August 17th in the New York, New Jersey area. If you're out and about or you're around, come on through. We're going to have a good time. And we don't care what you identify as.

It's DJ Envy. Jess Hilarious. Charlamagne. The guy. We are the breakfast club. Jess is out today. She's sick, man. Yep.

She having a baby in a couple of weeks, you know, two weeks, two weeks. So we got the mess. Let's jump right to it. News is real, weathers. Jessica Robin Moore, Jess don't do no lying. Jess don't do no lying. 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 off. Now, salute to North Carolina's own DaBaby. Now, he was on the Funky Friday podcast with Cam Newton and was talking about what he does when he has no shows or he's not working and what keeps him grounded. How many kids do you usually have?

I've seen videos online where he like yes, I'll turn the career to the to the projects real quick. When I just wrote down to learn I wrote down by kids. They write that with me and they really keep me grounded man. Ask anybody to run me like you won't see me around a group of none of that. I'd rather kick it with my little ones. You get what I'm saying? They still pure.

I really do appreciate them things and cherish them type of things, man. Don't we all, my brother? Don't we all? Absolutely. And that's what I think we all should do. I think when we're not working, we spend that time with our kids and our family to make sure that we make sure they're flourishing the right way. What else would you be doing? You're a father and a husband.

There's a lot of people out there. That's what we all should be doing. What else would we be doing? No, there's a lot of people out there that's what we all should be doing what else would we be doing no there's a lot of people out there that think the opposite they don't want to spend that time

with their family that's what you call bums and deadbeats and suckers and clowns and that's why their life is miserable seriously

and that's why also a lot of times their kids lives are the way that they act because there is no father figure in their life and Sealy point that finger that color purple

and Sealy say ain't no good gonna come to you until you do right by me. That's real. So when you actually do right, watch all the good that comes to you. It's the reason you a bum.

Now, Skip Bayless, after eight years, is leaving undisputed. His last show will be later this summer. Skip Bayless and Fox Sports both declined to comment on the decision, but it looks like he is out. Skip Bayless and Fox Sports both declined to comment on the decision, but it looks like he is out. Skip Bayless. I haven't watched Fox Sports

one in forever, so. Me neither. I think Skip needs a good actually, Skip is the foil. I was about to say Skip needs a good foil. No, Skip is the foil. He needs a co-host. Somebody to go back and forth with. He needs a once-in-a-lifetime generational talent like Stephen A. Smith needs a once-in-a-lifetime generational talent like a Stephen A. Smith,

or a very entertaining personality like a Shannon Sharp. And when he has somebody like that to go back and forth with, that's when I guess he's at his best. Right. I haven't seen him have that in a while. No. He needs a co-host that can go back and forth, that they gel well. Now, these last two stories, one of our producers, Sim Simmer,

she gave me these stories. Now, this is, you got your fan? Nope. All right. Well, I do, but I'm not pulling it out. Well, you're going to need your fan for this one. All right, so first, let's talk Takara Jones. All right, now, you remember Takara, model TV personality. I didn't know this story.

I just want you to know that. This is all late. There's no more. That's what they gave me. There's something else you could have talked about, but continue. Go ahead. Now, Takara, she was recently on Carlos King. You remember her.

She was a TV personality, a model. And she talks about the time where she found out one of her closest friends, Melissa Ford, was also dating Drake. They were dating Drake as well. You weren't surprised when Melissa Ford revealed that y'all were dating him at the same time. No, I wasn't surprised when Melissa Ford revealed that y'all were dating him at the same time. No, I wasn't surprised. She came over to my house one night and she was talking about her new relationship or this relationship. So she's in my room. I'm getting dressed and I'm about to go meet him.

I don't know. Coincidence? I don't know. It was weird. Let's say weird for lack of a better word. But she was just telling me about her situation with the guy that she was dating. And she went on to tell me it was Drake. And instead of me telling her like right then and there, I wanted to go and talk to him first.

Because this wasn't the first time that me and Melissa had was seen or take talking to the same guy. So when she told me what was going on, I went on my date with him. And I told him what she had just told me. And then when I left from him, I drove over over to her house and how did she take the news pretty calm it was civil nobody got mad nobody screamed nobody cried it's just a girl conversation there was absolutely no reason for you to report that story other than you gay now another story that our producers gave us is about metro booming you want to hear this one depends what it is okay now metro booming this is like i said one of our producers jess's

house so she gave me the story you explained the whole story she was so excited she said metro booming is being accused of cheating on his girlfriend black men don't cheat he was out here you go spreading propaganda about black men per usual allegedly they said what's crazy is that he was exposed not by his alleged side chick but by the side chick's friend they were out and about him and allegedly the side chick the friend was out there she was the third wheel you have no business report in this story why would you even put this type of negative energy false narrative on the air this morning when you know black men don't cheat well well that's allegedly what happened she exposed him posted the picture of allegedly of them

kissing him in the side chick but metro boomer responded he responded with some bible verses he says do not worry about tomorrow this is not a suggestion but a command i divided time into days and nights so that you would have manageable portions of life to handle my grace is sufficient for you but a sufficiency is only for one day at a time they gave this whole nice little bible scripture basically saying don't believe what you see why are you turning your back to me, yo? What happened? Why you turning your back to me, man?

I'm not gay. That's disrespectful. They gave me these stories. I didn't want to do these stories. Jess is back tomorrow. You a grown man. You ain't had to do them. You chose to do them. There was nothing else.

You chose to talk about the car. You chose to talk about the car and Melissa Ford running the train on Drake. You chose to lie on Metro Boomin. I don't believe Metro Boomin did that. I think he chose. Black men don't cheat. Those were choices, black man. Or beige man.

Dominican man. Whatever the hell you are. I don't know what you are. Oh, my goodness. Jess is back tomorrow. And that's Jess with the mess. Rashawn with the mess. Envy with the mess.

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 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.
