How you feeling? How was your baby shower?

How was your week, your vacation? Did well deserve, well needed? How you feeling? I feel good. I'm not going to lie. I feel real good. Yo, I lost my voice at the baby shower, but it's coming back. I had a day to recuperate, but the baby shower was so nice.

It was, yo, you know what I noticed about myself? I'd be like very overwhelmed with people coming up to me. And these is my, yo, this is my family. It was intimate. But it was still like nice, grand. Yo, everybody. It was so, I was getting like pulled this way and that way. And everybody wanted to take pictures as soon as I came in.

But I was hungry. And I was, we was like an hour late. So, of course, they had to start before we got there but the way my baltimore family is and his family is they so lit everybody was dancing he was drunk when we got there like it was it was like a wedding reception it was hilarious was that the first time that that your family and his family actually met yes how was that how was that you know what's crazy the the mexican side didn't come oh boy parker's it was like it's giving black so we're not just gonna go all the black jobs will be there so yeah all the black jobs will be there we're gonna give you a separate mexican uh baby shower

but it was lit it was fun and it was his birthday So of course it was lit Then for the 4th of July we did a big Big firework show him and my son It was so lit We had a big cookout here at the house So y'all did a big firework show In Maryland Yes where it's illegal right

So we had to drive Yes we had to drive up to Pennsylvania Because they don't sell them and they really don't allow you To do the big firework show. You know, the projectile ones that go all the way up in the sky. I didn't know that they were illegal like a lot of places. I literally just thought it was Maryland. No, they're legal in New York.

They're legal in New Jersey. So how did they be doing it? Because people go across the border, quote unquote, across the border to Pennsylvania. They buy them and they bring them back and just light them up. But you're probably say you got no time to be giving people tickets for fireworks. Because I'm from Baltimore. They would do them down the harbor every year

all the time. That's what we know. Fourth of July, fireworks down the harbor. Not even that. California banned it because they said it was so dry in California that if they actually landed in the grass, they'd set fires. Everybody in Cali did not give a F about that. They were lighting fire.

It was like, California looked like crazy. Oh, this year, I see. It looked crazy. Nobody cared. Nobody cared. But it was, I had a really good vacation.

What'd you do? I didn't do nothing. It was just barbecuing. So, Fourth of July, I barbecued with the family. Had all the whole family over. We were all in the pool. Mom, dudes, pops, the cousins, family.

We just had a great time at the crib. My kids just love family. So, it was great for them. We played everything from kickball to... We did every sport that can possibly happen outside. We did outside. Yo, y'all are so athletic. Why y'all playing sports?

That's what we did. We'd play sports. Then we'd jump in the pool. Then we'd play sports. We'd play wiffle ball, kickball. We played cornhole, frisbees. We played spike ball. Then there's new games that they just make up that we just played.

It was pretty good. You know what I actually did this week? I actually met my daughter's boyfriend's family. How was that? They came over for a barbecue. We had a barbecue for, you know, they came over. It was good. We had a great time.

We was, you know, drinking, smoking hookah, jumping in the pool. All that. Shoot. All that. All that. He had his family over. It was a good time. It was a good time.

Was it a barbecue or was it a cookout? I don't. What was it? It was, we had music. We had fried chicken. And then we had barbecue chicken. So it was a little cookout and slash barbecue. It was ghetto and bougie.

It was ghetto and bougie at the same time. All right, cool. It was ghetto and bougie at the same time. I had to tell him, I was like, look, don't get it twisted. I said, you know, you can eat with your hands. Like, we don't cut, you know, because sometimes people come, they be like, they want to be bougie. Like, yeah, it's how you do it. Like, bro, you must not know us

but now we had a great time so salute to Andrew and his family for coming through we had a wonderful time actually but let's get the show cracking front page news is up next we got to go through what happened while we were going I really don't know because I've been offline what? I've been getting

caught up yo we missed a lot on this vacation we're going to get into it, though. It's crazy. We missed BET Awards. We missed the Essence Festival. We missed Joe Biden. We missed Kamala Harris. We missed Donald Trump.

It was a lot. It was a lot. We're going to fill you guys in. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get your ass up. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Morgan. Hey, girl. Hey, y'all.

Hey, good morning. Back at it again with the back at it again. So while we were away, the Supreme Court of the United States made a few rulings in cases on their docket. One of them being deciding whether to grant former President Donald Trump immunity from prosecution for alleged crimes committed while he was in office. Well, last Monday, July 1st, the high court ruled six to three in favor of the former president, meaning he is shielded on some levels from criminal charges for acts he took in office. As a result of this ruling, Trump's sentencing for his hush money trial in New York has been pushed back to September. So he's no longer going to be sentenced on July 11th. And he will be able to remain on the campaign

trail unless the judge in that New York hush money case sentences him to prison or home confinement. Now, the decision also means Trump's election interference case will probably be delayed until after November. While a lower court litigates that decision. Trump's advisor, Alina Haba, shared her thoughts on the ruling. Let's hear more from her. I think that the justice has made the right decision. Absolute immunity is important for all presidents. I've said it time and time again. I've argued on immunity for President Trump, and I think they did get right that they recognize absolute immunity exists. They basically have said, sorry, Jack Smith, you don't get to just impede and intrude on the executive branch. We get to have protections for presidents who are doing things while they are in office so that they don't come out and get targeted and criminally and civilly sued. Now, Jack Smith is the special counsel for the United States Department of Justice.

Just in case you didn't know. And on the other side of the aisle with that, President Biden shared his thoughts on the ruling. Let's hear more from President Biden. American people must decide. They want to entrust the president once again, the presidency to Donald Trump. Now knowing he'll be more emboldened to do whatever he pleases whenever he wants to do it. For all practical purposes, today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits on what a president can do. This decision today has continued the court's attack in recent years

on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation. Now the man who sent that mob to the U.S. Capitol is facing potential criminal conviction for what happened that day. And the American people deserve to have an answer in the courts before the upcoming election. Yeah, people are saying that the Supreme Court's immunity decision is a blueprint for dictatorship, that they believe that Trump will now come out and rule and do whatever the hell he wants to do. But, you know, I kind of look at it in two ways. And this is the reason why he is foul.

If you commit a crime, you should do the time. Absolutely. Positively. But I guess it's also what they're looking at is optics. Right. How does this look for the world out there when you have a president that's in jail? Right. It's it kind of the optics just look nasty for the U.S.

Right. Yeah, absolutely. In fact, former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, who was on duty at the Capitol during January 6th, he shared his thoughts on Trump being granted that partial immunity. And let's hear more from him in terms of. I was there when Donald Trump encouraged a mob of supporters to march on the Capitol to try to overturn the results of a free and fair election.

I remember it clearly while they were beating officers with flags, Donald Trump is still the single greatest threat to our democracy. It was true yesterday, and it's true even more, even more, especially after this ruling right now. Now, there's an optic for you,

beating with flags. Dunn claimed that, of course, Trump was responsible for that attack on the Capitol, encouraged the mob, that trump encouraged that mob now uh meanwhile on the other side of the aisle florida senator marco rubio he's praising the supreme court's decision he recently spoke to cnn's state of the union and here's what he had to say about it well i think what the supreme court did is it clarified what the law is, and that is you cannot go after presidents for official acts, and there's a presumption of immunity for quasi-official acts.

It is clear that we have reached an era where there are people in American politics who believe that our courts are now a weapon that can be used against their political opponents. You look at what their efforts and what they've done in the courts to persecute and prosecute Donald Trump. They've tried to bankrupt him. They've tried to silence him. They've tried to jail him. They've gone after his allies every single day. So it's important to note that although this case was about Trump, like Trump brought the case to the Supreme Court, this is going to impact every president who served after him, including the current sitting president, Joe Biden. I'm no legal analyst.

I'm just a reporter. So let's hear from a legal analyst, Neil Katyal, who can better explain what those decisions mean from SCOTUS. It is a six to three decision that does side with President Trump on a variety of things. For example, much of the indictment that Jack Smith has is about Trump pressuring the Justice Department officials in various ways. The court says that was part of Donald Trump's official duties as president and that he is immune for that. I mean, like I said, that's very scary that the fact that pretty much Donald Trump could do whatever he wants and he won't be prosecuted.

If he is prosecuted, he won't do any jail time. He won't have any punishment for it. It's very scary. What we have to try to figure out or the line that we have to try to draw that boundary is what is official capacity for a president? You know, so, yes, definitely very scary. We'll get more into the politics. I just want to switch gears for a second and talk about a very unfortunate sports related news story. NFL rookie Kyrie Jackson died in a crash in Maryland, Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

That's in Prince George's County over the weekend. The Minnesota Vikings drafted the 24-year-old cornerback in April. Officials say he and two former high school teammates, they went to Wise High School, Isaiah Hazel and Anthony Linton Jr., were driving just southeast of Washington, D.C. early Saturday morning when they were hit by another car. The impact forced their car off the road and Jackson and Hazel were killed. Linton was taken to a hospital where he later died. No one in the other car was injured in that incident. So that's just very unfortunate. We've got a lot of crazy stuff going on. So, you know, I just want people to just be safe over the summer.

And yeah, we'll get into more in the next hour, guys. Yeah, very sad case. Definitely sending out condolences. I mean, if you followed his history and see everything he had to do to get in the NFL and going from school to school and working at grocery stores to pay bills and to finally make it and for this to happen, it's very sad. So definitely condolences to his family and always sending healing energy. And that is front page news. Now get it off your chest.

Thank you Hello who's this J.A. from Indy Hey J.A. from Indy Get Hey, J.A. from Indie. Get it off your chest. Hey, good morning, Breakfast Club. So, DJ Envy, you're going to be able to relate this, not to alienate Jess, but I was just trying to tell my boys, you got to marry your best friend.

I've been married before. It didn't work out. I didn't follow the blueprint of what I should have, but the second time around, marry your best friend. I figured it out. That's it. I love that. I mean, that's simple. That's the easy way to do it, but you just got to make sure that's your best friend i figured it out that's it i love that i mean that's that's that's

simple that's the easy way to do it but you just got to make sure that's your best friend and when you say best friend i mean is me and my wife i mean we could talk about anything anything out there it doesn't matter we could watch tv shows sports we gossip we do it like i tell anybody if you tell me something you tell my wife because we we're gonna talk about it regardless but that's how it should be that's that's how it should be right that's right right but coming from a family or history that has not been married you know you didn't see that you figured that out and you're exactly right once you get to a place with somebody that you feel so comfortable you can pretty much tell them anything that's the person you probably should ride with for the rest of your life absolutely and you not

alienate me that's some great advice that's i can take that with me. Well, I was just saying, because not to minimize you, but I know you have not been married yet, but I know you will. But DJ Envy always talks about marrying his best friend. And it's on deck now. I get it. I get it. So that's the blueprint. But you know what, J.A.? The best part about it was me and my wife met in high school.

So she was 15. I was 16. So that relationship, we didn't have nothing. So it wasn't like it was built on anything. It was just built on, you know, puppy love at first and friendship and just doing just fun stuff. And then it grew into what it was. That was the best thing about it is that's what, that's why I always say just meeting

somebody in high school where there's no parameters. Like it wasn't like we were going together because we wanted a steak. Like there was nothing. We ate McDonald's, you know what I mean? So that was the best thing about it, you know, starting from the bottom, bottom, bottom. Right. And not to monopolize your time, but the way I figured all this out, I had been going to therapy for the past four months. And she had taught me that all of my relationships had been transactional.

Like, I do this, you do this, I do this, do this. And then she started asking me what my friends look like and who my best friend was. And I'm like, well, damn. So, again, I appreciate y'all time. She just told me I had been doing it wrong. So the light bulb's on. All right. Well, thank you, brother.

Yeah, I have a good one. You too now. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up. Jess, let me ask you a question. Who's your best friend, Jess? If you had two best friends, who would they be?

If I had two, who would they be be If I had two Who would they be Cause I have two now Who are your two best friends Of course we got Sheena And then we have Joey She's from LA Well she's from Detroit But she lives in LA

She actually just left Okay And my two is My pops And then my wife And the reason I always say My pops is cause He's that one person

That He gives it to you raw pause. He's going to tell you what it is. It don't matter whether you like it or love it. He's going to tell you in such a nasty way. And it's like, deal with it. And then I'll go for a day and I'll speak to him. Or he'll go a day and I'll speak to me.

And then the next day is just, what up, pops? It is what it is. Like, he's a mean mother effer butt. That's my pops. Mean. All right. Get it off your chest. 800--85. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.

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

gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was.

And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like a risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure.

I would have covered this way earlier. And I ain't had time to do Dress With The Mask on the phone. I just don't be giving that until I had his baby off. But he received the Lifetime Achievement Award. The tribute was done by all women besides Childish Gambino who opened the tribute by performing a ballad version of You Don't Have to Call.

I didn't have time to get the audio, but just imagine Childish Gambino opening with a soft version of You Don't Have to Call. How did it sound? I don't think that that song, first of all, performed by Childish Gambino,

I don't think that song should be ever softly um performed is you don't have to call it's okay you know what I'm saying like that's one of his hype songs but that was like the only male that they had in the tribute um then Kiki Palmer came out and she did you make me wanna now listen I always say this about kiki kiki give disney no matter what no matter what so it's like i'm not saying i don't take her serious but performing for usher i think that still come from you know the thing that happened with her baby forever that's that's why she probably did so you make me want to leave the one i'm with so i guess that was a play on

that but you're saying it wasn't sexy it felt very it was it felt very kiki palmer okay okay disney hey your kids about okay you know it's like she's very pg-13 you know i don't think usher is so that's the thing um summer walker did good good um okay coco jones did there goes my baby now she started off serenade it this was like cuz you know how at us just show and Vegas how he was serenade the women even if they was with their men right dang he ain't care that's what he did a play on that right but she greeted his wife first which I thought was respectful and then she pulled him up he looked back at his wife like can I go can I go yes that's right as he should have so i thought i thought that was real cute um yeah i think i just wanted to see more men

then marsha ambrosia we got this audio she did superstar that's a hard note but that was the i heard the uk that was the first time i ever heard the uk come out i was like okay she's singing in that accent now sound a little different okay um then ch Khloe killed it. In my opinion, Khloe and Tiana, they killed it. But we're going to get there. We're going to get there. Tinashe, she performed nice and slow. It's giving like karaoke. I wonder why they did Usher like that, though.

I don't know why. The reason I say that is Usher, he means a lot to the culture. He means a lot to our world. And no disrespect to anybody that performed. But where are the superstars that were lot to our world and no disrespect to anybody that perform but where are the superstars that were going to do that tribute where's the mary's the mariah where is yes because you know those huge artists and and why was it all women except for childish gambino and then why is the childish gambino that was the thing i i think we got mario we got a uh avery wilson we

got tank we got eric bellinger we got veto i don't evenvery Wilson, we got Tank, we got Eric Bellinger, we got Vito. I don't even know his relationship with Chris Brown, but Chris you know what I mean? There's so many different artists that I felt like could have did that. When they do those Michael Jackson tributes and they do those huge tributes, they get huge people from the genre to do it. No disrespect to any of those artists, but

we're talking Usher. Listen, and when I say rightfully so, Tiana ate that like let me hear that's to say a little bit of her because she had the only one like that tore it up vocally and her victoria monet they dance right no she ate that i'm talking about yeah like victoria monet gave beyonce um like just just because you know we know victoria comes with the performances anyway. So I was extra, extra proud to see Chloe Bailey. She did Good Kisser. She ate it up.

And Tiana. They did the best to me. I just feel like all the stars should have came out. We're talking Usher. He just did the Super Bowl. Where was Beyonce? Where was people like that? Like Alicia Keys that he's done records with.

Where were those people for this tribute uh and no disrespect to any of the other artists but i just feel like this is us well they probably was like bz would you excuse me you stupid so but see ever i would have loved to see sierra do something because she from the a she's very she loves usher i don't know but but he loved it, and he didn't have anything to say about it. He thought it was nice. So as long as he liked it, then he liked it. Would Usher ever get on stage and be like, I ain't like that?

Yeah, I should have done better. He would never say that. No, because he would never. But we're talking Usher. I just feel like it should have just been a lot bigger. I think the bigger artist should have came out and showed that man some love and respect and everything that he's done in his career. And he just did the Super Bowl and everything.

I just felt like it should have been a little better yeah yeah well since we got a couple little minutes left look last sunday yo rick ross was uh he was in uh canada vancouver and um so in the set he had his dj play not like us um which was not smart you know that's kendrick lamar's hit um and drake fans confronted him they asked him now listen we got video of all this they asked him yo yo turn it off big white dude with a beard yo turn it off whatever whatever he squatted down and looked in somebody's eyes and was like man i'm the biggest boss i can do what i want you know started talking his ish and we seen a punch connect i don't know if anybody else seen it but i've seen it and then his entourage they they got it was bad it was bad of course 50 cent had some things to say

And of course, this is Drake's country. We're not just in his city.

This is where this man is from. So of course he has ties to big businesses and small businesses too. And people know the Fallen Angels. You know what I mean? The Fallen Angels or Hell's Angels? I wasn't sure. My bad, my bad.

Hell's Angels. Child, I'm thinking about... I'm sorry, the Hell's Angels. The Hell's Angels. That's even worse. Hell's Angels. I wasn't sure. My bad, my bad. Hell's Angels. Child, I'm thinking about, I'm sorry, the Hell's Angels. The Hell's Angels. Yeah, that's even worse. They're like the Hell's Angels. One of the biggest motorcycle crews in the country. Yeah.

Allegedly. And again, it was allegedly said that they had some recent business with Drake. So it's like, why would you go over there and play that? Why didn't you play your diss record that you jumped in and then nobody asked for that? Why wouldn't you play your diss record and get your your crew you know hit over your music don't play another guy's song and get beat up over that uh so that's just what the mess that is so funny yo and real real quick drake commented on tia kemp rick ross baby mother uh picture like well one of them posts like you to go

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne is out today, but let's get in some front page news. Good morgan good morning y'all yeah so we missed a lot while we were away and

whether you like it or not president biden says he's not going anywhere he is staying in this upcoming presidential race he made the comments at the white house during a july 4th event this comes shortly after he met with democratic governors and told them he will no longer schedule events or meetings after 8 p.m to get more sleep sleep. Now, I'm not sure if he wants more sleep or he wants them to get more sleep. Now, CNN reports that left several of the governors frustrated. Days later, Biden spoke exclusively with ABC in his first interview following his poor performance during the debate. Let's hear more from President Biden on ABC. Because I was sick, I was feeling terrible. terrible matter of fact the docs with me i asked

if they did a covid test because they're trying to figure out what's wrong they did a test to see whether or not i had some infection you know a virus i didn't they just had a really bad cold it's a bad episode uh no indication of any serious condition i was exhausted i didn't listen to my instincts in terms of preparing and It was a bad night. Yeah, it was a really bad night. I would say to his team, I know his team does listen, they shouldn't have had him go on that stage like that.

Optics is everything. He looked very weak. He looked very old. He didn't look like he had it together. That was the point where they would have pulled it and said, even if they said, hey, we don't want to put him up against Trump because Trump lies and we need a fact checker. But I would have preferred him pull that then to see what I saw. It just it just didn't look right.

He didn't look strong. He didn't look aggressive. He didn't look powerful. He looked very weak to me. And the fact that he's staying in the race. OK, cool. People were saying that they want him off the race but i guess the biggest part was not having him because they need people who donated to the biden kamala harris i guess they can possibly take that money back if it wasn't biden kamala but you know it's

scary to see what would i've seen that night yeah biden was also asked uh if he watched the debate and he said quote i don't think i did no um he went on to say that nobody asked him to take a cognitive test and he has doctors monitoring monitoring him uh daily let's hear more from the president on that look i have a cognitive test every single day every day i have that test everything i do you know not only am i campaigning but i running the world. I have medical doctors traveling everywhere every present day. Medical doctors from the best in the world travel me everywhere I go. I have an ongoing assessment of what I'm doing. They don't hesitate to tell me if they think there's something wrong.

Yo, hold up. I don't think I did. But not only that, he says I'm no longer longer gonna do anything after eight o'clock anymore so what does what does that mean so if something goes on in the in the world after eight like you gotta holler at him at six in the morning yeah no like i need my rest y'all always talking about how i'm sleepy i'm tired i don't remember i can't finish my sentences i don't know if i watched the debate i need some some sleep. You need some sleep. So eight o'clock is a wrap. So eight oh one, you can't call his phone anymore.

You got a key. You got to call me six in the morning. That's how y'all do your grandparents. Don't bother that man until six a.m. Please. Oh, man. Now, in all fairness, he did mention, hey, I'm still running, you know, the country while also being on the campaign trail.

You know, the other. Anyways, during the moving on during the interview, President Biden said top leaders like our top Democratic leaders, rather like Senate Majority Chuck Schumer, House Majority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. They told him to stay in the race. Now, during a Sunday call, at least four House Democrats said privately Biden should drop out. Joining another five House members who have called Biden to withdraw. Illinois Congressman Mike Quigley is one of the Democrats who's calling on Biden to step down. Let's hear from him. I say, Mr. President, your legacy is set. We owe you the greatest debt of gratitude. The only thing that you can do now to cement that

for all time and prevent utter catastrophe is to step down and let someone else do this. We've got a lot more we can talk about with Trump. Not just that he lied 28 times during the debate and that he's an absolute monster, but he has cognitive issues. Something that Speaker Emeritus Pelosi brought up earlier this week. She's absolutely right. So Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders also joined. He entered the chat. He spoke to CBS's Face the Nation saying people should just focus on the candidate with the best policies. Let's hear more from Sanders. What we have got to focus on is

policy, whose policies have and will benefit the vast majority of the people in this country. The American people want an agenda for the next four years that speaks to the majority of the people in this country. The American people want an agenda for the next four years that speaks to the needs of the working class of this country. So frankly, I don't think the president has brought that agenda forward. He has got to say, I am prepared to take on corporate greed, massive income and wealth inequality and stand with the working class in this country. He does that. He's going to win and win big so sanders conceded that biden's age is a factor but emphasized that he's the candidate um talking about expanding medicare and other priorities for american support meanwhile former president trump is trying to

distance himself from a conservative think tank plan for the gop's presidency you guys heard about project 2025 so trump on his Truth Social media platform, said on Friday he knows nothing about Project 2025 put forward by the Heritage Foundation. He said he disagrees with some of the things the group is proposing, claiming they are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. The project, full of conservative initiatives,

recommends more direct presidential control of government agencies like the Department of Justice. Democrats, of course, have rallied against this and pointed to it as evidence of an extreme agenda that would be ushered in if Trump wins the November election. Now, some of those things on that Project 2025 list that just has been sending me is um you know like a complete ban on abortion um they're talking about a ban african-american and gender studies and education on all levels ban books and curriculum about slavery ending climate protections i mean the list goes on and on so we'll see what happens as a result of that trump is trying to distance himself from that project 2025 um thing it seems that it would

put us in quite the uh what what's the word you used earlier uh in the dictatorship yeah dictatorship so uh yeah that's your front page news um I'm Morgan Wood thank you Morgan appreciate you thank you guys you can follow me on social at Morgan Media and make sure you continue to catch our news coverage on the Black Information Network at BINnews.com all right thank you morgan now when we come back columbus short says some things about black women and black women are pissed the f off but we're asking your opinion 800-585-1051 can you play what he said do you feel like in the media today there's a lot of demasculating of black men absolutely these women are black women were raised by single mothers absentee fathers fathers that are either incarcerated dead or just gone talk about um

that their mama said you don't need no you don't need no man you can do it by yourself so that that energy comes into the home they're not what you you talking about? Unless you giving me this, doing this, doing that, there is no respect of the man, the black man, by black women. And I'm not, black women do not be mad at me. They're going to be mad, trust me. I'm not talking about all of y'all. I'm saying there's a majority of you guys that were raised without a father, so you have no respect for that.

800-585-1051 what are your thoughts 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 105.1 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne is out, but we're taking your calls. 800-585-1051.

Now, Columbus Short, he got into a little, some heat and some backlash. He was on the, what's the name of the podcast? Unqualified as F podcast. and he was talking about black women do you feel like in the media today there's a lot of demasculating of black men absolutely these women are black women were raised by single mothers absentee fathers fathers that are either incarcerated dead or just gone talk about um that their mama said you don't need no you don't need no man you can do it by yourself so that that energy comes into the home they're not what you're talking about unless you've given me this doing this doing that there is no there's no respect of the man the black man

by black women and i'm not black women do not be mad at me they don't be mad i'm not talking about all y'all i'm saying they're gonna be there's there's a majority of you guys that were meant that was that was raised without a father so you have no respect for that what do you think jess i think he listen for him to be like black women don't be mad at me you already know what you're getting and then like now when black women respond i don't understand like how men can say things like oh people say things like that and then when we respond like we're angry because for one don't play with all of us like that then we're the angry black women like that like that i don't understand that now you mean now he may have attracted all the like all of that you get what i'm saying and i'm not saying what he's saying is a lie but to constantly keep highlighting the fact that women were raised by other women

alone without dads or maybe their dads were incarcerated or maybe their dads you know weren't there walked out on the mom why is that your reason for not being with white? I mean, not being with black women. If you already know the root of the problem, you feel me? Like, I'm not saying it needs to be excused, but don't, don't go set on a show and be like,

Oh no, I can't. I date this race. So I date this and that race is easier because you know, the root of the black woman is always, I don't need a man. That's what she was taught by her mom. If you know where it comes from,

how about some therapy for it? How about you actually try to help her? Cause all y'all be wanting help too. Right? See, I think, I think it's a thin line between quote unquote demasculized or an, um,

and a slave. Right. And I'm gonna tell you why I have four daughters and I teach my four daughters, you don't rely on anybody but yourself. Does that mean she's going to fall into? As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.

I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my face was quote-unquote

normal or back to the way it was, and I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture, that they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure.

Place? No, she's going to make sure she's okay. A lot of times we've seen in the past that women have stayed in relationships because they had to. They let a man lead and a man led them down the wrong path. We've seen it a million and one times. I'm not going to say that happened in every situation, but we've seen it before. We've seen a woman be taken for granted.

We've seen women get beat. We've seen women get mentally abused, physically abused and all that because they follow what, you know, their parents said. Let a man lead. And that's fine. You can let whoever lead that you want. Yes, you can let a man lead. But to sit there and say that I'm supposed to tell my daughter to follow a man and make sure you depend on a man and this, that, and the other. I'm not doing that as a father. As a father, I'm telling my daughter, you create your own.

You have your own. Now, in a relationship, yes, you share and you do your relationship a certain way. But if that man ever decides he's going to leave or that man ever decides he's going to cheat on you or he's going to be mentally or physically abusive, you don't have to stay because you are stuck. You can leave at any given moment. And that's, I don't care if you're raising a black queen or a white woman, if you're raising an Asian girl,

if you're raising, it doesn't matter. I'm going gonna teach my daughter this and not because i think she's better than any man no because i want her to have her own am i bad am i wrong for that no because that's empowering as well that's that's teaching her womanhood to have dignity to have something to stand on to be her own backbone so she don't depend or don't have to depend or feel like she has to depend on any man. No. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this?

Yo, this is Nero from Jersey. Nero from Jersey. Talk to us. What's your thoughts? Yeah, well, Columbia's sure to say there's a lot of truth to it. Why you say that? I mean, it goes deep. I mean, you got single mothers telling them that.

That's true. Also, you got to look at what's going on out here with the media. They separate the black man from the black woman you got black girl rock they praising black women I don't see them do that with any other race of women you don't separate the main men so what do you mean like more specifically we mean with the media is separating because I mean we all because y'all got common sense we know that we you know I'm saying like what you mean right but you don't see no other group no other race, how they praise their women and they separate them from their men like they do with the black women.

I don't see no white girl rock, no Asian girl rock award show, no Hispanic girl rock award show. You understand what I'm saying? But I think it's important to celebrate especially black women because black women haven't been represented in our community, in our culture, in our lives for years. They're the backbones for a lot of the things that we've strived from, from, you know, civil, from racial, from education, from so many different things. I just think it's a shine of respect and, you know, and show them the love and support that they should have got years ago and decades ago. I hear what you're saying, but black men and black women, we're one. We're one race. We're one together.

Absolutely. They don't do that, but they don't do that with any other races is what I'm saying. But let me ask you a question, bro. You got kids by the chance? Yes, I have a son. Okay. Now, think about this. You have a daughter.

I got four daughters. Let's say you got a daughter. What you going to teach your daughter? a daughter What you gonna teach your daughter Aren't you gonna teach your daughter To strive out there Have your own Just in case So you're never stuck in a situation

You're not gonna teach your daughter that Or you're gonna teach your daughter You know you fall in line with a man I'm not saying I'm not saying to oppress a woman Okay All I'm saying is They don't look at us As a collective

As one They try to separate us Okay That's my issue Alright Thank you for your call brother Hello who's this? This is Vaughn

Vaughn what's up brother? From London What's your thoughts? What up Envy What up First let me say What up Envy What up Jeff

What up brother What up Envy What up I'm crazy y'all Got me on here Charlamagne not there That's so crazy But anyway Let me Let me express my thoughts How I feel is You know what I mean like What up, baby? What up? I'm crazy. Y'all got me on here. Charlotte may not dare. That's so crazy.

But anyway, let me express my thoughts. How I feel is, you know what I mean? Like, it kind of takes me back to what, like, Chris Rock said. You know what I'm saying? Like, how the male is, you know, like, a dog is more unconditionally loved than a black male. You know what I mean? And, like, I feel like, like, what Columbus said was, I felt what he said, but, like, not all females. Definitely not all females. And I think that's where a lot of females are going to get mad at.

You know, not me. Not me. I don't do that. But I'm pretty sure they probably do know someone who is like that. And another thing I want to say is, like, I think, you know, like, nowadays, you know, like, a lot of the roles are kind of reversed. Like, you know, a lot of females are taking on the man role, becoming more masculine. And you know what I mean?

Like, acting more and more and more and more just like a male, you know? What do you consider taking on the male role? Yeah, I'm like, I would react. What do you consider taking on the male role? Yeah, specifically. You said what? What do you consider taking on the male role? You said taking on the male role.

What does that mean? Well, when I say that, I mean, like, they starting to act like how we like you know like oh i mess with your dude i mess with your uh-huh like oh you know what i'm you know what i mean like kind of give them off a a masculine energy not a male role i want to say but like you know giving off more masculine energy instead of feminine you know what i mean i just think you were and i feel like and i feel like Another thing Like with the females Is like you know

Like not all of them But a lot of them Will say you know Like they'll treat you Like if you don't have Nothing then you are Nothing like you know A lot of them say

Like I'm not going 50-50 like You need to go 100% Oh you ain't got They could be A janitor at a library Oh you not making

Southern figures I don't want you You know what I mean Like so it's just it's that that's it's just you know i kind of agree with what he's saying let me ask you a question varna let me ask you jess right so i'm in i was raised that you know you take care of your wife there is no 50 50 you pay for everything you open up the doors you do everything for your your wife and your spouse now in the household of course is there's things that i do and there's

things that my wife do it is what it is we we play those roles if i take out the trash i do those things my wife will do the laundry not to say that i can't but those are the things my wife does and those are the roles that we do in our household but with my daughter i don't i don't teach my daughter to quote unquote uh i teach my daughter have your own there is no he pays for it and he controls what happens in the house. I teach my daughters, and I got four of them, now you do your own. You have your own. You have your own. You don't got to rely

on nobody. You ain't got to sit back and wait on nobody. You can do it yourself. You don't feel the same with that one? Nah, I do feel the same about that. You can definitely go get it your own. With the 50-50 situation, I personally feel like whatever works best for a relationship, whatever helps y'all move forward and helps the pedals go easier, then that's how it should go.

You know, because it might be this dude who does grass for a living. And he, you know what I'm saying, he dates this lady who's a banker. And she really loves him. She really loves him and she wants to make it work. She might have to go, you know what I'm saying, 75% until he upgrades his, you know what I'm saying, pay or whatever. But I understand what you're saying, NB, though. Yeah, I got a daughter, too. And I started the same thing.

Like, you don't ever need nobody. See? You can always put this stuff. It's almost like you're talking out of both sides of your face. So it's a little bit of contradiction. You see what I'm saying? You get what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah.

I want you to fall in line. Do this. Do that. do it i'm gonna teach my daughter now you ain't gotta fall in line which one is it let's let's discuss columbus short said this do you feel like in the media today there's a lot of demasculating of black men absolutely these women are black women were raised by single mothers absentee fathers fathers that are either incarcerated dead or just gone talk about um that their mama said you don't need no you don't need no man you can do it by yourself so that that energy comes into the home they're not what you're talking about unless you've given me this doing this this, doing that, there is no respect of the man, the black man, by black women. And I'm not, black women do not be mad at me. They're going to be mad, trust me.

I'm not talking about all of y'all. I'm saying there's a majority of you guys that were raised without a father, so you have no respect for that. We're taking your calls. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Talk, talk, talk. Tell her, tell her. Made it. Just for some privacy. have no respect for that we're taking your calls it's the breakfast club good morning 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 jessalary charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club charlamagne is out so uh we're taking your calls 800-585-1051 now columbus short said this he was doing a podcast name of the podcast let me let me shout them out unqualified as yeah unqualified as f podcast and we're asking what are your thoughts let's listen do you feel like in the media today there's a lot of demasculating of black men absolutely these women are black women were raised by single mothers absentee fathers fathers that are either incarcerated dead are just gone talk about um that their mama said you don't need no you don't need no man

you can do it by yourself. So that energy comes into the home. They're not, what you talking about? Unless you giving me this, doing this, doing that, there is no respect of the man, the black man, by black women. And I'm not, black women do not be mad at me. They don't be mad, trust me. I'm not talking about all of y'all.

I'm saying there's a majority of you guys that were raised without a father, so you have no respect for that. Hello, who's this? Kia, can you hear me? I can hear you now, Kia. What's your thoughts, Kia? So first, I just want to say that I grew up in a home. I was able to see my father protect the home, protect his family uh make sure they they have everything

they need for my i saw my parents work together as a team now i don't like the fact that he said that majority of the women the one he hasn't met the majority so um um i would say some they were the ones that he has met but now when I got married, I saw my husband at that time going out, just being out in the streets, not going where they wanted. So why would I need someone like that? So I never said I needed him. But now I got married again. Now my husband is, you know, he takes care of the home.

He's my protector. He protects our family. When he's not here, I'm always like, okay, I see my husband. Like, I just don't feel safe. I don't feel protected. And he'll say like, oh, I'm here. Please stop telling people where you're going. Don't put it out on social media that you're not here with me because I feel protected when you are here. So my husband is my protector, my everything. I do need help. Now, previously, nah. Nah.

And what's up, Jay? What's up? Sorry. Now, kid, let me say this. I get what you're saying. But see, I think when I say things change, like the first thing I did when my daughter turned 18 was taught how to shoot a gun. The first thing I did when I got my license to carry, I got my wife got her license to carry.

And I take him to the train. I take him to the facility all the time and show them how to shoot. Because like you said, there's going to be times when I'm there's going to be times when I'm not there. There's going to be times when I'm not there. And when I'm not times when I'm not there and when I'm not there, I got six kids to protect. So I got to make sure my wife can protect when I'm not there and I got to make sure that my daughter, if something happens to my wife, can protect as well. So that's not meaning that they're weak or that they're swapping roles.

It just means that I want them to know just as much as daddy knows. Oh, correct. I got it. I get it. I'm military. So you know how to shoot a gun too. So you shouldn't be that scared or that nervous regardless have a good one things are different these days too yo you got men who can't handle rejection so they killing women over being rejected right you got things like you know it everybody got something going on like i just hate every time we turn around it's a black man saying

that we are the most masculine we are the you know like the reason that we can't be dated like you get what i'm saying yeah you know what too just i think it's an old way of thinking about things too yeah like you know of course back in the day we look at our parents and our grandparents the man ran the household whatever that man said in that household happened you know if if the man wanted chicken the woman's cooking chicken if the man wanted this this is what happened but i think things have changed and i think people have to understand that and me having daughters make that makes me want that change even more like you're not just gonna tell my daughter what to do like it don't work like that she's not your slave like y'all could have a conversation

and if she if she says okay well this is what i want then y'all can have a conversation and y'all do that that doesn't make him weak that doesn't make her weak it makes them it makes it a relationship where it should be 50 50 you're not just gonna abuse you know when you get married you get married to a person you're not marrying a slave yeah that's right you know i mean and and if you think my daughter is just a slave and my daughter is just going to fall back and sit there and do what you want to do, then that's not the woman for you. That's not how I'm raising her. Hello, who's this? This is Kizzy from Detroit.

Kizzy, what up, dope? What's your thoughts? I don't see nothing wrong with what he said. He's telling the truth. Why do you think he's saying the truth? There's no way to explain it but it is true and then you also got fathers out here that teach their daughters too that they don't need a man for them to be able to be successful or you know take care of themselves or what's wrong what's what's exactly wrong with that though if you're a man and you're raising

your daughter because what you said sounds. There's nothing wrong with that. What I'm saying is he's telling the truth because he also said that that doesn't go for everybody so it's a shooting thing. You know. But there's nothing wrong with raising your kids

or teaching your daughters that they don't need anyone. They can do it by themselves. Yeah, I don't think there's a problem with that. I mean, like I'm saying, I'm not saying that my daughter got to go around the world and say she needs nobody for the rest of her life. But my thing with my kids is I just don't want them to rely on anybody. And I'm going to teach them how to do it themselves.

You know, like some people, their wife, their woman, their daughter, they rely on somebody else. So they're in situations where they can never leave because they feel like they need that. What I try to teach my kids and my especially my daughters is is how to do it on their own, how to cook, how to hunt, how to shoot, how to protect themselves. And I'm not saying that she doesn't need no man. But, you know, I just want them to make sure they have the knowledge to protect themselves when need be and not have to always rely or be in a situation where they can't leave because they feel like they rely on that person too much. And then also you also have to take into account like how they also have to be taught how to love as well. And a lot of these men do. Now, you're right.

You're right. And that's the thing. So you got a moral of the story, Jess? Just learn how to love. Learn how to love. Because we've all been oppressed some type of way. And like I said, I don't fully disagree with him. But even saying the majority of women.

There are women that knows how to treat a black king and their black queens. I'm just getting it's just oversaturated this conversation of women black women being way too you know masculine to be dated by black men i is i hear it all more often than i hear the other side of it right because there's another side too correct and i just think as a community we got to start checking each other yeah like when we start seeing f-ish we started we got to start checking people women men all all of the above like we just can't let things happen like we have to go back to that community sense where it's like and i and i'm not bringing this up but like the thing with diddy and cassie right we all know that wasn't the first

time that happened right can we all agree to that yeah right so somebody had to see that before and i feel like somebody should have checked diddy early on somebody should check and it doesn't matter if it if it's if it's me if it's my kids if it's you or whoever if you see some f shit it's okay to pull somebody in the side but like yo bro that's not it yo sis that's not it like it's nothing wrong with that and sometimes we got too much pride and we allow it to go on and on and on and on but anyway all right charlamagne is out so if you want to give somebody donkey of the day you can phone lines are wide open 800-585-1051 now we got just with the mess coming up what we talking about um we're gonna get into some some stuff that happened recently nikki had to cancel one

of her concerts in another country we're gonna get into that all right we'll get into that next it's the breakfast club good Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Larry, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne is out, so let's get to Jess with the mess. News is real, brother. Jess is just arriving more. Jess don't do no lying.

Don't do no lying. She don't spare nobody. Worldwide Jess, worldwide mess. On the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shift. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it off. Okay, so this is why I don't want to move to LA.

Now, I lived in LA before, but not when all this was happening. I feel like everybody's house gets burglarized. Like, that's the way, like, to you ain't really, like, live LA, live and live in, unless they breaking your house. Because Marla Wayne's house got robbed. This was last Saturday, but he wasn't there. So, the reports

that burglars snuck into Marla's backyard and shattered a window around 2.30 a.m. He wasn't home, but his brother was at his house, Keenan Ivory Waynes. Now, Keenan said that the noise woke him up, but he thought nothing of it and went back to sleep. And so the next morning, one of Marlon's employees,

they realized that the house had been ransacked or whatever. So then, of course, the police were called and everything. The thieves reportedly stole a safe and several thousands of dollars, which was in it, in cash. But Marlin shared a video on social media to address the robbery that's what he said hey what's up people uh first and foremost i'm saying thank you to all the people that checked on me uh and see if everything was okay when i was burglarized i want you to know that they didn't really get much. Because I don't own shit. The most valuable thing in my house is my house.

So unless you put that shit on a truck and drag it away, then, yeah, man, you did well. But I don't own shit. I don't wear jewelry. This is fake. This just does my heart. It's a heart rate monitor. It's an aura. No necklaces i

don't have cash i use credit cards i'm the wrong rob go down the block there's a lot of flashy out there yeah oh i know his neighbors it's like yo what do you mean you go down the block no we're not flashy you know the sad thing about it is i tell everybody all the time we get so comfortable right and when i'm uncomfortable we have alarm systems on our house and a lot of times people don't set them all the time because you're comfortable. You know, you get used to, I'm just going to sleep. I'm not going to set it. But we just have to make sure that we continue to set alarms, that we always look what's going on.

And even if you do hear something in your house, because he said he heard something and went back to sleep, to check on it because you never want to be in a situation where somebody run up in your crib, you know? Yeah, that was his brother, you know, Kenan Ivory Wayne. He just woke up and then her son went back to sleep and ain't think nothing of it. So it's probably more than likely like a big-ass house. Yep.

And he probably just like, all right, whatever, you know what I mean? It's not determined if he got dogs or anything like that. But that's crazy. And it's sad, too. It's sad. I feel like we hear about a home burglarization or whatever. Burglary because burglarization was just crazy. Burglar. Somebody being burglarized.

Yeah. But that's like an L.A. thing. Yeah. Like they run up in your curb in L.A. and they say they do that because usually as a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions. But you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves, for self-preservation and protection. It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.

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

Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change.

You can think of the adolescent brain as like the social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts at least time to to actually get to the house is so long so like you know in certain places it might take 10 minutes 8 minutes 12 minutes they see in la it might be 30 minutes yes yeah exactly that's what i tell everybody get a dog yeah definitely get get a dog or dogs dogs uh moving on to other news kendrick lamar releases

not like us music video and he took more shots at drake did you see the video envy i did you liked it i mean did. You liked it? I mean... Did you feel like it was creative? I think Kendrick is always creative. Like, when they break down all the things, like, when Kendrick is sitting there and it's dark

and they have, like, a fake Drake walking up behind him and then the boogeyman takes him away and then, you know, he has his wife in there and they're dancing to show that the family's together. So, Kendrick does what he does. Yeah, he does.

He does. And then how he had on there, like, when he's in the cell with the cinder block doing push-ups you know drake drop push-ups that was one of the diss tracks and um like yeah i think i think it was um i think it was it was very kendrick it's different it is different i thought it would have been better but it is what it is. I didn't think he was going to come out with it. I didn't even think that he would have come out with a music video to a diss record. Yeah, that's probably going to be one of Kendrick's biggest records.

Yeah. Yeah. Yep. And the video got over 15 million views in less than 24 hours. Yep. Shout out to Musta. He was in the video. It was a bunch of little subliminals, so go back and watch it.

It was actually funny. It was cool we had uh he had tommy the clown uh compton born nba star demar de rosen and top dog who was the ceo of uh the label tde um and and in the beginning of the video he had it's like a snippet to one of his new songs that he dropped um we got the audio for that real let me hear it reincarnated i'm a stargazer life goes on honey to all my babies okay yeah i think it's really la in it up but i've been like another la hit it does i've been talking to a lot of people from la and they said you know people don't understand outside of la what he did on that stage bringing all those neighborhoods together and all those gangs together he was like that was so big for the city he was like it hasn't been that big since the song

colors which was like 30 years ago so damn the fact that that he united so many different people and i guess we don't understand it as much because we ain't from la so we're not with that culture but the fact that he's he's doing that the people are just you know ecstatic with the things that he's doing so salute to kendrick and td and all those people over there yeah yeah and it was like a big cookout actually honestly i'm gonna say i know people probably gonna be mad you don't really care it reminded me of god's plan music video a little bit guys play my wedding when we like we drink was running but next to the car dollar yeah no like just some parts of his video reminds me I kept thinking about God's plan memory

like he had the people yeah yeah we're white like you know what I mean like showing different parts of the city didn't he do God's plan in Miami he did in Miami yeah mm-hmm but God's he was giving he was giving people things back right yeah yeah yeah yeah um but just some of the scenes I saw like I was like oh crap I gotta look at it again like uh well not sounds like it looks like the God's plan video but shout out to Kendrick he's it was it was it was Kendrick it was very it was a very Kendrick production correct yeah that's just what I'm asking. I made you. All right, Jess. Now, Charlamagne is out. So if you want to give somebody donkey of the day, 800-585-1051.

We'll get to it next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. It's your time to nominate a donkey of your own. Remember now, that's just how they choose. Call in now.

800-585-1051. Hey, this is Unique from Kentucky. Hey, Unique from Kentucky. Who you want to give donkey today? Donkey of the day got to go to El Presidente, okay? I'm trying to figure out where these black jobs at still. I've been looking around. I don't see them.

Y'all know where the black job is? Y' figure out where these black jobs are at still. I've been looking around. I don't see them. You don't know where the black job is? I don't know where the black jobs are. I know where black people work, but I see other people that do. Is the Breakfast Club a black job? Do you think that? Is it? Y'all tell me. Are y'all hiring? I'm black. You black? Goodbye, you need.

Bye. She said she's looking for the black job. Please. Hello, who's this? Jason. Hey, Jason. Who you want to give Donka to? From North Carolina.

What up, brother? Man, I want to get, like, it coincides with the topic of the day. I want to give it to all the women that want to be treated like a queen, but can't sing songs like I'm a savage, which is a direct contradiction. You can't be a savage and a queen, baby. So you mad at women because they want to be queens,

but they want to sing ratchet songs? No, no, no. I'm not mad. I'm not mad. I'm not mad. Like, I was actually on a whole other topic the other day,

but I got hung up on, so I had to just condense it. But I do want to give you props to JNB because what you said about telling your daughters, you know, to have their own, that is accurate,

yet that is different than telling your daughter to be independent. I don't know how to take that, but all right. Thank you, bro. But having your own is kind of like being independent, right?

Isn't it the same thing? Like, have your own, be independent. You work for your own. I don't know. Yeah. Hello, who's this? Hello? Like, have your own. You be independent. You work for your own. I don't know. Yeah. Hello, who's this? Hello?

Hi, Envy Girl manager. Hey, girl. What's up? This is Zenobia Collins from Atlanta. Hey, Zenobia. Who you want to give donkey of the day to? I do want to give donkey of the day mainly to Tadashi. I agree with you, Envy, for that extra performance.

Even though the ladies were supposed to be serenading him with his sexy self. They really did not do a good job. Kiki, Kiana, and blame it on my mama. And Khloe did the best job. That's a nice thing.

She should not have been in that lineup. They should have replaced her with Kelly Rowland. Sierra, somebody. Yeah. Damn. Okay. All right. So you didn't like the Usher tribute BET Awards put on?

It was a good try. I just don't think it matched up to Usher's level as far as his performances, as far as his vocals. And I do get some things that's serenading us for so long, they wanted to reverse it for him. But I agree, they didn't do him justice. Yeah, I said that earlier. I said the BET Awards, the Usher tribute. I just think Usher is a superstar for our generation. And I think if you're going to give him a tribute,

I think it has to be planned out. And I think the superstars need to come out. I mean, it's Usher. Like you said, Beyonce, Kelly Rowland, Aliciaicia keys uh sierra uh i mean there's so many mary j blige i mean if you wanted to do all women you know there's so many or chris brown yeah there's so many that i think should have came out for us i mean i mean he's one of our biggest artists so yeah i you know but hey i wasn't part of that him Him and that Travis Gambino, I agree with Jess. He confused me totally. They could have gotten, oh my God, Trey Songz.

I would have loved to see Trey Songz or Chris Brown do that song that Gambino did. He was not the right one for that part. I agree with you. Thank you, Zenobia. Y'all have a good day. Love y'all. Love you too, girl. All right.

That was Donkey of the Day. Again, Charlamagne is out. Now, when we come back, we're opening up the phone lines, 800-585-1051. One of our producers, Mac, Fat Mac, he said he watches Milf Manor. Do you know what Milf Manor is? No, his name is not Fat Mac. It's Big Mac. Oh, sorry.

Yo, what is this? One of our producers fat mac oh my god i'm sorry big mac right different show he was telling us about milf manor so we're opening up the phone lines 800-585-1051 if you're dating somebody and your child does not like them where do you go from there? Do you squash it? Do you end it right then and there? That is the question. And we'll start with you, Jess.

So let's just say that, you know, Ashton did not like your man, Chris. What happens? That would be on him. He got to get over it? Yeah, because listen. All right. Now, in the past i i would i would definitely take my son's advice because it's updated to people that he didn't like you know what i mean

but ash is also like very to my hip joint you know you gotta careful like like the the now he didn't want me with his dad but he didn't want me with these guys and i'm like oh just give him a chance just give him a chance you see i ain't with them now but the guy i'm with now never had a love like this never had like actual someone like my best friend and like me and chris is just so in sync yo i can go on and on but um if he didn't like him that would be on him he could meet with his dad damn so 800-585-1051. What happens when your kids don't like your new boo? Let's discuss. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on.

The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jessalary, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about one of our producers.

His name is Big Mac. He came in here talking about MILF Manor. Now, during the show MILF Manor, he talks about how sometimes the kids of the people dating didn't like the person that they were dating so what do you do in that situation 800-585-1051 so we're asking if you're dating somebody and your kids don't like that person what do you do now just you said that you know it's happened with you before where ashton didn't like somebody you were dating yeah and he was right he was right about back in the day.

He was right, you know. But this one, he wouldn't be right. Thank God I don't have that problem. He actually loves Chris. Chris loves him. They have a bond. But if it was given like, Mom, I don't like him.

And I'd be like, that's why you have a dad. So you can go over there. Right. But I do understand the flip side of it because of course my parents they are you know recently divorced a couple years and i don't like nobody he date and and and it's just because i'm that person who saw both of them together my whole life right so and then my mom i'm getting in trouble again because she just got married. But I didn't like who she was dating either.

I'm still getting used to it. But you're never going to like that because you're so used to seeing your parents together. So, anybody they bring in the house is going to be like, who's that? Yeah. I'm just like, no. You know, so I do get that. But my mom is the happiest that I've seen her in so long. Yeah, the man loves her.

Like, you know, it's just that I can't get over as her child. Because I'm biased. Got you. My dad was just married to her. So, I'm just like, yeah. Got you, got you, got you. Let's go to the phone lines. We got Jay on the line.

Jay, good morning. Good morning. Hey, Jay, how you feeling? Okay, voice to go. I'm good. What's your thoughts jay i think you should always put your kids first like if if your kids don't approve and then that relationship doesn't work out then you damage possibly damage the relationship with your kids so kids should always approve you should always get the approval of your kids

because you don't want to damage the relationship. The only problem with that, Jay, is you get in a situation like Jess just said. If your mom is dating somebody new, that kid is never necessarily going to like that person because that kid always sees his pop there. So it's like, nah, who's this new guy taking my pop's place? Who's this new guy that wants to take me to the mall

or take me to the park? Who's this new guy? So I don't know. I this new guy that wants to take me to the mall or take me to the park? Who's this new guy? So, I don't know. I think sometimes a kid got to stay in the kid's place. Yeah. If that's the case, then every guy's going to be the new guy. And that's the problem sometimes, you know? Yeah, okay.

miss jess what's up baby how you doing oh i'm lovely i'm lovely now richard what do you do if you're dating somebody and your child doesn't like them or vice versa okay so i okay so i have it i have it from the other perspective i used to date a cougar who had a son, and he didn't like me at all. So, like, I kind of just used to go over and blow his mom's back out and just not care what he thought. You know what I mean? That's real disrespectful, Richard. How many years apart were you and the son?

Because you said the cougar so he had to be like up there with you in age yeah yeah so he was like i don't know he was like 20 i was probably like 26 or something like that 26 27 but he was he was just young enough to where he couldn't buy alcohol from the store because i remember one time i thought he was mad at me because i wouldn't buy him drinks from the store but like you, you know what I'm saying? He didn't like, you know, I didn't know why he didn't like me, but his mom loved me. So obviously his mom's back. He probably hear you in the room and everything.

Yeah, I wouldn't like you either. No. Well, yeah, that was it. So one day we was there and we didn't know he was there because the car that his girlfriend was driving, it was gone. And, you know, we got it cracking. I mean, like I was in there. All right. Okay, Richard.

Hold on. We just heard the door slam outside of the door from her room. And he's just texting her, blowing up. I can't believe he would do this to me. And I guess it didn't really help because she was white. You know, not that that matters or anything. But like, yeah, man. Oh, hell yeah

it matters. Yeah, it matters. You got this big black mandingo coming in here laying it down. Yes. He probably about to kill the family dog. Probably gonna go shoot something up. Like, that's horrible. Shout out to her, because I know she listens to the show.

What's up, Sean? How's it going, DJ? Doing good, doing good. So what are your thoughts? If you're dating a woman and your kids don't like the person you're dating?

I mean, I can't really make my life off my kids because I got teenage daughters. They ain't gonna like nobody, so I have to do my own thing to figure out what was best for me, and they just have to deal with it.

That's right, that's right, because, you know, daughters can be very protective. I am, I am. And that's both daddies, girl. I mean,

like your dad, your dad's never going to find somebody cause you're never going to approve of anybody that he likes. So you just want your daddy to be single all his life. I would, yes,

I would like him to get to know him after being married to my mom for 30 plus years. Be a bachelor now bachelor now just chill don't move nobody in don't have nobody talking you back into marriage you know I think you should have the freedom to actually explore because my mom and my dad got married straight out of high school he went to the military he married her like like straight he didn't have time to even like live as a bachelor ever so now get that get that out there now my mother she a little church girl so it's like all right all right so she got to be one with the Lord so get married all you want cool but my dad no so you don't you don't mind

if your dad is out there smashing you just don't want him to get married right yeah no smash it up smash smash smash you know but but do not get like no, no. Because I just feel like, nah. Nah. It's not going to ever happen. Well, what's the moral of the story, if there is a moral? Respect your parents and stay in the child's place. Because, honestly, your kids ain't always right about what, you know what I'm saying? Correct.

You got spoiled children, children that don't want to share you with anybody at all. Correct. You know what I'm saying? It's okay to date. Like, you know, your kids your kids got a a way of making you feel bad about decisions that you make as an adult so that's moral number one and then moral two definitely take into consideration it depends on how old the child is too but definitely can take you know take into consideration how your child you know feel about

the person because it could be some things that, you know, they could spot some things that you don't. Why you over here hypnotized by the peen-peen. Right. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.

I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.

Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shunker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big

changes in our lives. It was like a slow nightmare, you know, because every day you think, oh, surely tomorrow I'll be better. And I would dream of being better. At night, I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was. And I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the

adolescent brain as like this social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success and fewer of the things that bring you social failure listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts you know what I'm saying you you you overlooking some things so you know just listen to them and then sometimes don't I don't know what's tomorrow envy I don't know man right you already married so it don't matter I don't know you What's tomorrow, Envy? I don't know, man. Right. You already married, so it don't even matter. I don't know.

Your kids got to like their mother. All right. I don't know. Well, we got just the best coming up. What are we talking about? Absolutely. Pop Smoke's killer said, if he could, he would go back, but he ain't saying sorry. Damn.

All right. Well, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. 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 so block star who was one of the boys involved in pop smirks uh pop smokes murder he sat down

with adam 22 on no jumper for what i do not know why this is why that's what I'm saying People be abusing this this podcast equipment. I'm telling you and abusing abusing the privilege to have it During the interview he reflected how he feels about pop smokes death I'm not sorry about nothing, no. It should never happen, but I ain't sorry. Like, if I could go back, I'd go back, but I ain't sorry. Like, mm, I die every day. He was rapping about it. All types of. You know, I send my condolences to the family,

and I wish it never happened, but I don't regret nothing. I wish I never had, yeah. I'm not making this a small thing. It's just, I don't know, growing up, my people, my family told me, you ain't sorry for s***. Whatever you did, you did it for a reason. And it's that. Did y'all hear me?

Yeah. When they recorded it, I guess when they recorded the snippet of him speaking, I guess they recorded you as well. So it was you on top of you on top of the gentleman block star yeah that was weird that was weird but yeah anyway he was just basically saying um just for the people who didn't hear like he um he like he but it was like he contradicted himself a little bit right like condolences to the family um If I could go back, I would. But I'm not apologetic about it. Yeah. He was saying the way that he was he was raised and that his family taught him that pretty much stand on business and don't regret anything.

I think I think that that young man has been he was failed as as a child. I mean, he was 15 years old when this happened. When it happened. Yeah. I mean, they was 15 years old when this happened. When it happened, yeah. I mean, to sit there and say, I don't regret it, and I'm not saying I'm sorry, is a stance that I don't think that young man should take. I mean, you took somebody's life. Yeah. Somebody doesn't have their son right now.

There's a father that doesn't have his son. There's family members that don't have their brother. You know what I mean? There's so many people, and you destroyed their lives. You destroyed that young man's career. You destroyed everything that was going on with that young man and for you to say that i don't regret it it just it just seems crazy it's not even like it was a beef it was failed it wasn't like it yeah it was like this is just somebody's life that you took and then even in a clip i seen him say yeah but that's what pop smoke was rapping about you took that man's life over what over a piece of jewelry yeah whatever you whatever you intended to take is money or whatever

it may be and now that man is not there there's so many people missing that man and then you come out after doing what four or five years and saying i don't regret it not much pain and hurt that that that person actually has and if your family and and your parents are telling you you know you don't look back enough don't regret nothing that that's that's the wrong approach that's not that's not where you need to be and and i pray to god that that you move on and and do better in life because you got a second chance i mean you killed somebody allegedly because i don't know what he did if he pulled the trigger but you allegedly killed somebody and you're out right now

you should be taking this opportunity to do what's right to make sure that you're a better person in this world and not sitting there talking about I don't regret it it is what it is all that street stuff street mess it got an expiration date on it it comes back it comes right back around

and just like we you know just like you a young man out there with with a gun and a hammer and you got your crew and y'all do crazy things i'm sure there's some people out there that love pop smoke that's always i'm sure there's somebody that that that loves that man and and and seen that and it might feel away i hope not and i pray not but you know like you said all that has an expiration date. Yeah. And he not helping with his remarks either. So, yeah. Well, praise up to Pop Smoke's family as well. But I'm just saying one thing.

Just think about it. Right. All the dads out there. You lost your son. All the moms out there. You lost your son. And the gentleman that took your son is saying that. Where do you go from there? Right that where do you go from there right

what do you do from there do you just turn the other chin and you'd be like nah no it's unfortunately people people nah people built like that oh yeah that's how you feel okay cool and you know because you ain't got to be tough to pull the trigger you ain't got to be tough to you ain't got to be tough to do any of that of that yeah just sad i just would wonder like why would he be on no jumper but either way just to just to give people platforms to be able to say things like that it's just crazy but yeah that young brother need to heal for sure um nikki minaj canceled show in romania um but she announced that um she would no longer be participating in the show. Well, in the festival.

It was a festival in Bucharest. I hope I'm saying that right. On Sunday, an hour before she was supposed to perform, she took to social media to basically say, out of concern for the well-being of her team and herself um she had been advised by her security detail not to travel to romania because um safety concerns regarding protests in the area and she's a mom who needs to get back to her son and her team she needs they need to get back to their families so she did opt out of um performing but she did say she would perform at another time she didn't clarify which protest but TMZ reported that a demonstrate they reported that a demonstration in the city to protest the government's fiscal policies were

scheduled for Monday morning fans shared their disappointment of course saying that the protest was just an excuse for Nikki not to do the show one person said I just want to make it clear that the main reason people are even coming to this festival is to see you perform live. The fact that you would only announce you are not coming one hour before your set is disgusting. Another fan wrote,

what protest? And these are people, some of these people were from Romania as well. And then another person said, the protests are tomorrow and far away from the concert. In fact, you won't even have to cross Bucharest to get to the airport from the concert. This is BS

and not respectful to your fans. If that were true, I do understand what she's saying. Honestly, that's what Rick Ross should do. He should have made a decision that be like, you know what? I'm a leader. I'm going to get my team home safe. I'm outnumbered. These are big white people and we have to leave turn the music off and let's go you stupid but i will i will say this like you know nikki is from the u.s so if her security says this is not

a great idea not what i advise you who am i to go around that you say what it's not a good we shouldn't go okay turn the jet back around i going back home. And we just saw how things went with her in another country. Yeah, I'm going back home. That girl probably not playing with that. You cannot play. What she call us? I got Papa Bear home. Yep.

I got the hubby. I got my husband. Turn that jet around. My security said, don't do it. I ain't doing it. Yep. And I also have a team who needs to get back to their family too. That's correct.

So that's good leadership in my opinion. And you never know. In other countries to get back to their family, too. That's correct. So that's good leadership, in my opinion. And you never know. In other countries, they protest how they go. Yep. You know how we see how it should get over here. You know what I mean? But we don't know. So hopefully everything is okay in Romania this morning.

But that's just for the mess. All right. Thank you, Jess. Now, when we come back, we got the People people's choice mix 800-585-1051 get your request in and reminding you guys august 17th i think we're like five weeks left to my car show of course it's celebrity cars from cardi b offset uh a boogie uh french montana 50 base wag cash cobain just to name a few make it a trip come on down kids five and under are free we got free haircuts for the kids.
