You ever know that one person that can't sing? I do believe that we can be happy. That actually tries to mess up the song for you? I said I want to be happy. There's some voices that should stay in the shower and should never leave the shower. Now, let it breathe. Man, drop on the Clues Bombs for Mary J. Blige, damn it. Boy, that Be Happy is an instant mood changer.

You hear me? There's not too many songs that can instantly get you in a better mood. I don't care what you're going through. Even if it's just for that four or five minutes that song is playing. Incredible. Incredible. We know you're not a singer, but let's get in some front page news. Morning, Tess. Good morning, DJ Envy, get in some front page news. Morning, Tess.

Good morning, DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. Peace, Tess. Let's start off with some quick sports. Now, NBA, just want to tell you guys, Kawhi Leonard signed a three-year extension. And that was worth how much money? It was like $180 million. They didn't put the number. I don't know why, but it was like $180 million.

But let's jump right into it. Will we start with DeSantis? Yeah, we're going to start with the GOP debate that happened yesterday on CNN. The Iowa caucus is next Monday on Jonathan Major's favorite day, MLK Day. So that will be going to the polls. And last night was the last GOP debate. Now, this debate was between Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley. Vivek Ramasamy did not qualify for this debate due to low poll numbers.

So it was just those two one on one. Both had the same amount of talk time. DeSantis talked for 44 minutes. Nikki Haley talked for 42 minutes. Here's a recap of them challenging each other. Take a listen. Time people come down, she caves. He's only mad about the donors because the donors used to be with him, but they're no longer with him now.

And that's because he's upset about the fact that his campaign is exploding. We don't need another mealy mouth politician who just tells you what she thinks you wanna hear just to try to get your vote. You can't trust what Ron's saying, but this is a bigger issue. This is more than him just constantly being desperate and throwing things on me. We need to fly a flag of bold colors, carrying the banner of putting the American people first, not the pale pastels of the warmed-over corporatism of people like Nikki Haley. Well, first of all, bless his heart, DeSantisLies.com.

The biggest news for tonight, in addition to that, was Chris Christie dropping out the race a few hours before the debate some people said when did the race even when did this campaign even start but he was in the campaign uh and he dropped out but he was caught on a hot mic been a lot of hot mic uh uh caught this week let's take a listen to that yeah i mean look she spent 68 million so far just on tv spent 68 million so far 59 million by desantis and we spent 12 i mean who's punching above their weight and who's getting a return on their investment you know and she's going to get smoked and you and i both know it she's not up to this

she's still 20 points behind crumpet now i'm sure right yeah oh yeah and he's gonna he's still gonna carry out right yes always i tell you i this. DeSantis called me petrified. You know, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I don't know why the GOP doesn't move Trump out the way and put Nikki in his place. Because saying Trump has baggage is an extreme understatement. So he placed him with Nikki. But I also didn't understand why I spend so much time, Nikki and Ron, going in on each other when they both are so far behind trump so far like i don't understand like who like what are you trying to prove by you know out debating nikki haley or what is nikki trying to prove by out debating ron like the the the competition is way in front of you yeah and she mentioned that too she said that this debate was not about uh her and ron it was about

uh you know, Trump. Exactly what you said. Now, at the same time, Trump was over on Fox News doing a one on one town hall speaking. You know, the folks who are interested in what he had to say. And this is his response to Chris Christie dropping out the race. Chris Christie was in and he got a hot mic. I heard about I thought actually the biggest story wasn't the fact that he dropped out. Nobody cared too much about that. But he had a hot mic where he was talking to somebody about the weather. And he happened to say that she doesn't have what it takes. She'll be creamed in the in the election.

And I mean, I know her very well. And I happen to believe that Chris Christie is right. That's one of the few things he's been right about, actually. So you don't think it changes the dynamic much? I don't know if it does or not chris christie uh donald trump should have been like chris christie can never finish running he's never finished running in his life look at him he can only run for about one or two minutes on the treadmill but that would be both of them they both can't run more than two minutes

on the treadmill yeah but i know for whatever reason nothing sticks to trump right like he's only three years younger or four years younger than joe biden but never gets called old he's probably about 30 pounds lighter than chris christie but never gets called old. He's probably about 30 pounds lighter than Chris Christie, but never gets called fat. Not like that. Not like Chris Christie does. Mm hmm. Yeah, they did address Trump's character. The question was, as you know, should Trump be in leadership again? And this is what they both had to say. Do you believe Donald Trump has the character to be president again?

I think the next president needs to have moral clarity. I think you need to have moral clarity to understand that it's taxpayer money, not your own money. I think you need to have moral clarity to understand that when you're dealing with dictators in the world, that we always have to fight for democracies and human rights and protecting Americans and preventing war. And so when you look at Donald Trump, I have said, I think he was the right president at the right time. I agree with a lot of his policies, but his way is not my way. I don't have vengeance. I don't have vendettas.

I don't take things personally. For me, it's very much about no drama, no whining, and getting results and getting them done. So I don't think that President Trump is the right president to go forward. I think it's time for a new generational leader. Well, I'm running because I'm the guy that's going to be able to engineer a comeback for this country. I appreciated what President Trump did, but let's just be honest. He said he was going to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it. He did not deliver that.

He said he was going to drain the swamp. He did not deliver that. He said he was going to hold Hillary accountable, and he let her off the hook. He said he was going to eliminate the debt, and he added $7.8 trillion to the debt. So we need to deliver and get this stuff done uh we should care about character but nobody cares about character nobody cares about purity when will folks realize clearly voters don't care about any of that stuff they don't want purity of morals they want politicians to be effective and folks feel like trump is effective and it's amazing to me that uh you know ron de sanchez is up there talking

about all of the things donald trump didn't get do as far as, you know, what he promised. Instead of focusing on the fact he's got 91 criminal charges. We shouldn't even be talking about, you know, what he didn't get accomplished while he was in the White House. Like the fact he's got 91 criminal charges and attempted a coup in this country should be enough for people not to want to vote for him. Right. But clearly it's not. All right. Well, that is front page news. What we got next hour, Tess? Yeah, we're going to talk about it. It was a clown show yesterday.

Congress, a lot went down yesterday. You guys might want to break out the fans on this one because it was a lot of tea going on. Yo, drop one of Clues bombs for the reporter who was asking Hunter Biden the tough questions. Yes. As Hunter Biden was walking down that hall. I laughed at that a lot. I'm trying to find the video so I can repost it. Oh, my God.

We'll talk about it in seven. Get me Joe Clark from Lean On Me. Smoke that, don't you? Get me Joe Clark from Lean On Me before we do that story. Now get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again,

no facial hair in 2024, man. There you go. B-Ray, you know what it is? I got facial hair. B-Ray, you know, women get their hair dyed all the time. All the time. There's nothing wrong with a little just a man or a little beige. Women get their hair dyed by a professional.

Our women know how to put just enough in it so it at least looks natural. Y'all don't be looking natural. And y'all get mad when somebody calls it out. Well, B-Ray, tell him we don't do it for him. Why he trying to look at us like that? So, man, I get my hair cut every two weeks. I pay $100 and my barber put enhancements

He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba.

He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez.

At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

But then turned around, didn't give me nothing for paying or anything, so I was out a couple of days. So they fired me, but they told me they could have fired me because I was on work as comp. I didn't think you could be fired on work-less comp.

I didn't know that either. Damn. So I haven't got any money for the whole month of December for work-less comp. And now I'm going into January. I ain't have no money to pay my rent or anything. And I went to Cabot's and that man, they said it took 90 days for them to even process it or handle it. And, I mean, I'm up a creek without a powder. You know what I'm saying?

What you need, brother? Like, what you looking for? I mean, something just to get me past this month because I go to court on the 22nd of this month for an invention. I mean, maybe y'all can't help me, but, I mean, I need some kind of help. I mean, I called the churches and all of them, and they said they can't help me unless I pay December month rent. Well, put your cash app out there, man. Put your cash app out there.

So, I want to make sure I tell y'all happy anniversary and everything like that. No problem. No problem. Two, it's just cool to talk to both of y'all, actually. It's just cool to talk to you because I used to be a Charlamagne hater, no lie. But after some time, I started listening to you, and I was like, dang.

He actually, we kind of, I'm not going to say think alike, but I was like, I definitely agree on certain things that he stands on. So I haven't been a Charlamagne hater in a few years. Thank you, brother. I appreciate that. But I need my haters, too, now. Which I understand. I feel like everybody needs some haters. But, like, only if you really, you know what what i'm saying it's got to be something to hate on

and i felt like well if i'm agreeing with stuff i can't really hate on you know what i'm saying listen man everybody loves a bad guy okay it's called stockholm uh stockholm syndrome sorry listening to so long no it's not you forget that you hate him you just start like everybody loves the bad guy i like being the bad. 800-585-1051. Now, when we come back, we got your rumor report. We got to talk about who Stephen A. Smith called a fat bastard. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Stephen A. Smith. Rumor has it. Rum Smith. Rumor has it. Rumor has it.

Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I'm gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. Now, yesterday I was I follow Stephen A. Smith on Instagram and on social media and he posted something that was totally unlike

Stephen A. Smith. This is what he said on his Instagram yesterday, which I noticed. And I'm like, this doesn't sound like Stephen A. There's a few things going on in the world of sports that need to be addressed. But on this particular day, they don't take precedent. Instead, one would be Aaron Rodgers and his situation with the Pat McAfee show. That's necessary to address because after all i'm an employee for espn the other would be a fat bastard that has gotten away

for far too long talking his bull you wanted some fine i'm happy to give it to you all i will say is that the things that i'm going to say um please don't hold anybody responsible for it other than me nobody i even took the liberty of calling my pastor to apologize in advance for what i'm gonna say about that no good bastard so i will address that in just a few minutes and i'm not engaging in hyperbole i'm not exaggerating the pastor's name is pastor a.r bernard at christ Center. You don't believe me? Call him and ask. All right. So that's where it started.

And, you know, Stephen A. Smith is my queen's brethren. When I seen him start talking like that, I said, what the hell is going on? How was he talking? Just like that. Like, you know, Stephen A. Smith, he usually. That wasn't nothing extra. That wasn't crazy. He usually doesn't talk about colleagues.

He usually talk more about sports. Jason Whitlock's not his colleague. Well, Jason Whitlock, if you don't know who it is, he has a show on Blaze. And he said Stephen A. Smith, I guess he went down the same road as Cat Williams tried to go down. And he said Stephen A. Smith was an industry plant and that he even didn't even write his own book. Well, Stephen A. Smith wanted to address some of the things that Jason Whitlock said about him. This man will tell you I'm lying. He even went so far as to say my autobiography where I talk about my mother, my father, my sisters, the business, my hiring and

firing and rehiring at ESPN. I didn't write it. This article is an article written on deadspin.com the title how jason whitlock is poisoning espn's black grant land let me read the graph to you this staff the one whitlock was praising by way of warnings that if the writers and editors wouldn't align with his vision he would get rid of them was not the one whitlock wanted the undefeated was originally meant to attract the best and brightest young black talent in the country those young writers comprehensively refused to work with him so did big name ESPNers like Howard Bryant, Jamel Hill, and Stephen A. Smith I couldn't write huh well he talks about that and then he talks about after that Jason Whitlock actually running up on him and apologizing and saying he's sorry and wrote an email and said he understands and how bad he thought their relationship was.

Did you tell them how you stood outside outside of first take begging me to talk to you? Did you tell them that once the same article in Deadspin came out weeks later, you wrote a lengthy apology to me in an email begging me to forgive you pointing out how you were betrayed by this particular writer so you know how i must feel that you betrayed me did you tell the folks that you he also talks about how he doesn't like Jason so much that he even made it his point to put in his contract that he never, ever has to work with him on the network. Ladies and gentlemen, how serious I am. Am I? I have a contract that I negotiated with ESPN and I signed in 2015. I had it in my contract and I have a copy of it Where it specifically stipulates

That I never work with Jason Whitlock It's in writing No wonder you didn't see him on First Take You didn't see him on Undisputed With Skip Bayless either Skip Bayless wouldn't allow him on there You didn't see him on Numbers Never Lie Jamel Hill and Michael Smith wouldn't allow him on there

I wonder how much of this is Stephen A. Smith Being actually upset Or how much of this is uh stephen a smith being actually upset how much of this is stephen a using jason whitlock for content not not that stephen a needs it you know i mean and i'm not mad at any of it but i just wonder because shannon sharp had a great week with the cat williams club shea interview you know pat mccaffey had a great week with all the aaron rogers jimmy kimmel controversy stephen a might feel a need to keep up. Might be a need to compete. I don't know.

I'm just saying because there really is no reason for Stephen A. Smith to be discussing Jason Whitlock at this point. I mean, he's been throwing shots at Stephen A. Smith and everybody over there for years. So maybe Stephen A. Smith got fed up. I don't know. Maybe he's just using this for content. I don't know.

But it gets to a point sometimes you probably just get fed up. It's just like you say one more thing and it's like, you know what, I just got to respond to dude. Like enough is enough. enough oh who cares other than noise other than drama other than us loving to see people go at each other why do we care about this situation because i still don't even know what this is all about right and you've been explaining it for the past four five minutes well now with steven a smith he had to get some things off his chest and he did uh also young miami allegedly now this is a jasmine brand exclusive they're reporting that uh she has to cut not cut but cut out diddy on her reality show they're saying that possibly i'll say

allegedly that the show was pushed back a little bit because there's a lot of scenes with diddy and they're taking those scenes out i don't know how true that is young miami she listens uh every morning well most of the mornings when she's taking her kids to school so hopefully she'll check in and say well that's true or that's not true but that's allegedly and that show is set to air on bet later this year well i wasn't looking forward to that show because of any diddy appearances anyway nope i was looking forward to that show because young miami is highly entertaining absolutely you know carisha is highly entertaining. So yes, I want to see Carisha's behind the scenes life. That's right.

Yeah, I'm highly intrigued and interested in a Young Miami reality TV show. Yeah, and we've seen them taping at the BET Awards. We've seen them taping up here. They were taping here, yeah. Yeah, they were taping a lot of places. So I look forward to seeing that as well. I care about seeing cameos from JT more than I do Diddy. Mm-hmm. All right, and that is your rumor report. I care about seeing cameos from JT more than I do Diddy.

All right. And that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. Tesla and Figaro will be breaking down what's happening in the world. And then we have Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum, the Native Land podcast. They'll be joining us. They got a new podcast that they launched today. And we'll talk to them in a few.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. What's up, Tess? What's going on? DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha Guy. Peace, Tess. Let's jump right into it. Hunter Biden. Man, yesterday was a circus, to say the least.

Very entertaining. He popped up yesterday attending, unexpectedly attending the hearing about if Congress should hold him in contempt. Let's go to CBS for the report. There was some high drama on Capitol Hill today after Hunter Biden made a surprise appearance at the House Oversight Committee. That group has been weighing whether to hold the president's son in contempt of Congress. At issue, Hunter Biden's earlier refusal to appear for a closed-door deposition, he instead offered to testify publicly. House Republicans want to talk with him as part of their impeachment inquiry into his father. 30 minutes into today's hearing, Hunter Biden walked out without responding to any questions. Yeah, so a lot was going on. Republicans were throwing shots all afternoon. Representative Nancy Mace, she went there talking about white privilege and mentioned who has balls and who doesn't. Take a listen.

You are the epitome of white privilege coming into the oversight committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. What are you afraid of? You have no balls to come up here. Okay, then after that, Marjorie Taylor Greene had this to say about him being a coward. Sits here with a smug look on his face and runs away when it's my turn to talk. Not only is he a criminal, but he is a coward. Then after that, he went outside outside and reporters going back to what you talked about earlier charlemagne they walked up on him and his attorney and asked him about crack

let's take a listen can you please i'll answer your question if you'd be quiet and let me make a statement okay crack do you normally smoke mr biden i'm not i'm not mad at anything any of that you know what i mean but i do feel like you gotta keep the same energy because you know President Donald Trump and his administration you know they've ducked a lot of subpoenas you know from Congress and I've never heard anybody from the GOP call them out about it

the question you sold crack before are there different types of crack? No I never knew that there was different types of crack and that's what was so entertaining about that we are the most unserious country ever I truly don't even know how shows like SNL Are still on because everything is a spoof But real life is funnier

I didn't know there was types of crack Like what level of privilege do you have To be able to get Different types of crack Like is there a crack in Robbins Like do folks go so they can get 31 flavors Of that fried cocaine? I don't know.

Can you fry crack? Can you grill crack? Can you jerk crack? You can fry coke. That's all crack is, is fried cocaine. And what flavors do they have? Is it like peanut butter blossom crack, non-dairy mint chocolate chunk crack? You know what I mean?

Chocolate mousse crack royale. What do they have? Old-fashioned butter pecan crack, Oreo cookies and cream crack. Chocolate cherry bark crack, mint chocolate chip crack. What type of crack is it, Hunter? Maybe they were talking about the potency of the crack. You know, you can step on it.

Maybe something a little bit stronger, not strong. I don't know. Maybe. I'm just like, damn, boy. White privilege must be real for real when you can get different types of crack. They only had one type of crack when I was growing up. Plain, basic, good old crack. Pl get different types of crack. They only had one type of crack when I was growing up. Dang.

Just plain, basic, good old crack. Plain, basic vanilla crack. Just plain, basic vanilla. We didn't even get vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry. Just straight vanilla. Jesus. So, what did you say? You said they went Joe.

What did they do? They went Joe Clark on and played that red? You smoke crack, don't you? You smoke crack, don't you? I'm trying to tell you. Look at me, boy. That's all I was missing. That's how that reporter see that reporter

ain't got no sense of culture right if he had a sense of culture because he was asking great questions all the questions leading up to it but you got to end it

with that joke you smoke crack don't you you smoke crack don't you boy if he'd have ended it with Joe Clark oh legend

legend see I don't take anything serious no we don't that's your problem no we don't this is America's this is the series finale america okay final act so let's enjoy it goodness gracious yeah definitely was a mess but overall the uh house oversight committee did vote 25 to

21 to approve a resolution holding hunter biden in contempt so we'll just continue to keep following but yesterday was very entertaining so much more was said charlotte before we get out there what they were saying about erections and uh showing everybody was just messing up like i saw somebody calling out somebody for showing penis pics and then i saw representative uh premilla jaya paul say trump incited an erection but if we're going to talk about outrageous things that have happened or things that have never happened let's talk about the fact that president trump incited an erection and maybe that too yeah you can talk about that too i guess it was just wild like it was just a wild time yesterday in congress wow yeah all right well that is front page news thank you tess absolutely and make sure you subscribe to tesla figaro's podcast

this great shot Chase, a podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network and follow at Tesla Figaro on all social media platforms. Alright, now when we come back, Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum will be joining us. They got a new podcast, the Native Land podcast. We're going to chop it up with them

next. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ them next don't move it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv charlemagne the guy we are the breakfast club and we got some special guests in the building yes indeed we have angela rye all right no tiffany cross and andrew gillis welcome what's up everybody happy new year how y'all feeling the internet calls him destiny fulfilled no we're No, we're Death Row. Did you hear that? They were like, it's giving Death Row. I was like, I appreciate that.

Because of their promo pictures for what they're here to talk about, their new podcast, Native Land. Native Land podcast. Well, how did you three get together and decide to do this podcast? Long before the podcast, actually. We've all known each other. Angela and I've known Angela almost my whole adult life. I think we met when I was like 23, 24, right when we both moved to D.C. Angela and Andrew already known each other angela and i've known angela almost my whole adult life i think we met when i was like 23 24 right when we both moved to dc angela and andrew already knew each other and andrew and i met through the years cbc mostly yeah exactly but you were also like in dc a lot

um doing things and so it was really organic the way our friendship came together and angela had this vision um of doing the podcast and reached out to both of us and when angela calls when my sister calls i always say yes so we we had an instant i mean it is instant mad love and respect for this sister who was i mean leveling your biggest beast in the room uh it didn't matter uh and to see angela change the culture for young professionals in d.C. During her time there, her legacy lives on with other young. They ain't as live, but they lives on through those who are continuing her work.

And to come to this podcast, I think what is particularly special is not just the longstanding relationship that we have with each other. It is that very few people want to enter your atmosphere when they think you are radioactive. Maybe you're radioactive cooling. Maybe you've gotten through, but it is very hard to find the first. The same is that all the hardships had somehow reached alchemy that you could turn what was what you thought was bad, horrific, that you're still mourning and grieving and triggered by, you have to be thankful for it all. With that said, who determines if you're radioactive, though? Because I think a lot of times

we might care more than other people do. Society at large, I think social media can be harsh. F*** them. I agree. I hate that. I said it this morning. No, but she's right because the social media creates the noise. Right.

And sometimes it can penetrate lazy journalism and drive how newsrooms treat you. Absolutely. And how they speak. So, and sometimes, like they say, be your own people. You know, sometimes people who you thought were your friend were not at that time in the time of fire i would say when my um show got canceled unexpectedly charlamagne you remember that time period of course it was charlamagne's fault it was not charlamagne's fault at all for the record um but you could not reach me like you literally had to go through angela to get to me um like Angela, get on a plane, come to Atlanta, and we were, like, together, nonstop.

And, you know, you notice who's slow to return your phone calls because they're playing the power game and, you know, would rather align with, like, feckless leaders who uphold white supremacy instead of people who never came to you in crisis but were always with you in sisterhood. And so I think you have three people here who have been consistent in that way.

And it takes a special person, like Andrew said, to stand with you in the fire. But Andrew, I want Andrew to say the advice he gave because I can be a petty bitch, you know? And it's like, I don't fuck with that person anymore. And Andrew has a really great point that he makes about expecting, like acceptance and expecting.

And it's like, you are expecting, I'm gonna expecting and it's like you are expecting i'm gonna mess it up but you are expecting a hyena to act like a lion when they've always been a hyena sure so you're just setting yourself up for disappointment no i mean i so the the point about i think tried through the fire you know the phoenix keeps coming to mind of of going through something and then trying to emerge going through through these kinds of things, me, the trial, everything that happened post my run for governor of Florida, I had assumed that people who benefited financially, personally, who got their jobs are holding those jobs and those advances because of doors you open, because you refuse to do business with people who did not hire employ respect uh the diversity of our community whose dollars were actually spending

and i thought because of my presence but then forget what it meant to lead and represent it as a mayor and run for governor and earn those votes and so on and so forth but the people who i can't and a commissioner couldn't, they were, aloof, disappeared, vamoose. You couldn't have thought they were your real friends though.

No, no. I absolutely thought that these were people who I could go into a bunker with. And I think all of us would have, if you pull back the layers, I'm not sure how, why do you go with all your circle

and whether you call everybody a friend, but these are people I put on a friend list after scrutiny and expect that they're going to be there for me. Not because I read something in the newspaper and I'm just kind of finding his heart. No, it's because the person I know wouldn't do what you're suggesting. Praise God. And I'm standing with him in the gap until somebody proves me otherwise, proves me different. And even after that, I have grace.

Right. When none of that shows up, lonely, angry, mad and all that stuff, you know, is for the birds. I'm just so thankful God revealed for me people in my life who would say and hold me and say, you know, you were expecting those folks to show up as you would. And I understand how that happens. But their reaction was simply them doing what they knew how to do. It was their default. They didn't know to perform differently. They didn't know to organize our friends to hold a press conference and call for this, that, and the third.

What they did was they retreated their safety and security. Because if they can take this dude down, then what about me? And that's the intention of it. That is the intention of it. Don't be too bold. Don't be too real. Don't speak too honest and truth. We have to present like if these negruses get too out of hand, we are going to castrate you on some level.

I think that happens all the time. Kill you dead. Right. It is important to show like, hey, hey i'm still here i ain't never going nowhere we are all still here we're all still standing and even if like the faces look different right but it still represents the same thing so it is i would say um andrew for all of us who have ever found ourselves in the public eye in a negative way to the mass consumers out there don't do the conservative white man's bidding for him stop spreading bull on the internet stop spreading salacious things on the internet to get likes stop spreading a lot like they expect you to do that

they're like we gonna spoon feed this to you because we know that you will be the person to carry this to the community whether it be right-wing talking points or an effort to take out one of your leaders does it bother you that it's a lot of times in both your situations in angela as well where it's the people that look like you that's attacking you more it is a problem that is a problem part of it is i think social media which just erodes intellect in a lot of ways. Read a paper and stop scrolling through Instagram looking at nonsense. But also, even as it impacts lazy journalism, look, the oppressor does not have to look like them. Sometimes the oppressor looks like you.

Sometimes they select, I'm going to pick you the overseer because I know you are a weak one who can be bought and sold. And I know I can send you out to the path to keep all the other Negroes and in check. And you have to look at yourself like, what side, if history steps back and judge me, what side am I on? And look, if you look at history, there's always been that. Like Martin Luther King was not celebrated his entire life. He was considered a troublemaker. Like, we don't want you around here.

Massive feed, that's good. You know, we happy. So there's always been those people. Don't be that person. All right, we got more with Angela Rod, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum. Their new podcast, The Native Land Podcast, is out today. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

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

He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez.

Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba.

Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Angela Rod, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum. Now, Charlamagne, where did you get the name Native Land from, Angela? Angela already gave me the look, like, steer this back to theum. Now, Shalami? Where did you get the name Native Land from, Angela? Angela already gave me the look like, steer this s*** back to the podcast. Yeah, like, we can go in.

And I think the main thing for us to know is this is radio. We want people to tune in to the podcast. We want them to do that every week. It's dropping every single Thursday. Native Land pod is... The name. Yeah, I'm going to tell you right now. You're going to have to learn.

He just cut you off like that? Like, I've been talking for 15 minutes. But no, it was. There's a stanza in James Weldon Johnson's lift every voice and sing true to our God, true to our native land. And I think that the conundrum that many of us find ourselves in is we know that this isn't our original birthplace. This isn't our origin story, so to speak. It is the continent. But a lot of us have never been there.

We have been fortunate to go, but a lot of us haven't been there. But this has become our native land. This has become our home base because our folks built this. I say we built this joint for free. And then moreover, because of the lack of safety that Tiff has referenced

and that Andrew's referenced, we wanted a home base for our folks to come to every single week. And so when we say Native Land Power, we also say welcome home, y'all. What would you say to people who will probably look at y'all and say, well, this is going to be another Democratic echo chamber? I don't know why. I mean, I vote Democrat most of the time, but I am not a talking head for the party at all i think they make horrific um decisions i think they summarily dismiss our community the same way um a lot of the

cable news industry does i think they uh fail us at every point i think this is part of um another narrative that some black folks have taken in and believed um and that is and some a lot of white folks believe it that black people are so loyal to the democratic and that is and some a lot of white folks believe it that black people are so loyal to the democratic party that is not true black folks are loyal to ourselves and the world benefits from it um society benefits from from what we do i understand the person's perspective who says you know you want me to participate in this system that has incarcerated my brother poisoned my mother keeps my kids in a dilapidated school. And you're telling me by my participation in this system, I'm going to somehow

fix it when for decades my life has not changed. I understand that perspective. When we vote, we are not American enthusiasts trying to uphold the white man's democracy. We are voting in favor of harm reduction. That has nothing to do with loyalty to a party we are loyal to our people and by our people i mean us as black folks but also the rising majority of this country the asian american pacific islander community the indigenous community latino community because this country hasn't been very polite or kind to any of those communities and so we're trying to be here to advance a cause for the greater good not for any political party would any of y'all ever vote for a conservative like that?

That wasn't a Trump conservative conservative. I've been overwhelmingly harmful to black folks. So I would I don't know. I don't necessarily get so caught up in. So is Democratic ones. That's what I'm about to say. Like, there are conservative Democrats. So I think anybody who falls under the conservative umbrella, those policies are contrary to my survival and to the health of my community.

So I don't think so. I think and, you know, we talked about lazy journalism earlier and this is no insult to you, my dear brother. But I think that what we often do is say we want to break out of boxes and then we try to find a way to put people right back in those boxes. I think here on the show, what we're going to really try to do is break out of those constraints and really talk about what it looks like to have a black agenda. Thank God for Alicia Garza doing working on the Black Census Project that now gives us permission to imagine what a world could look like that we could live in and thrive in. I think the other thing that's really important is I don't really want to construct another Republican Frankenstein. They tried that experiment and failed. At least it failed us. That's Donald Trump.

Right. Like, I don't want to build the ideal conservative for me. I don't I don't know who that is. I think I'm no ideal. No politician. But that's what I'm saying. I two tips point about harm reduction. So for me, I'm progressive.

I don't see myself in the White House. I don't see myself for the most part in Congress. There are several congressional black caucus members who I think don't get the attention and the respect they deserve because they represent my best interests. I wish some of them would run for higher office and some of them haven't and couldn't get there. And some of their, I appreciate the point around the best interest because the truth is, is that most of these things benefit everybody i mean that's part of one of when when we say people are out there advocating and legislating on our behalf it's largely to close a gap yeah that should never have existed in the first place

that exists in public policy society and it plays out every single day again on this hamster wheel that we're bridging that but the benefit of that idea that policy you can't tell me getting that extra however many hundreds of dollars per child during covid for child care didn't mean something to white folks black folks brown folks and everything in between the problem is is that we've got folks who are putting lots of money into making sure that all we know are our differences. Yeah. Right. You can't tell me my state is uber Republican when we had a race in 18 that came down to point four percent difference. Now, I am nowhere near a conservative title. Joe Biden is much more than that than I am.

And you had a five or six point difference in the last Democratic nominee. You know, love them. But a 20 point gap. And so did Val Demings. Right. So what the hell are white people prepared to hear from us? And in what way do they need to hear it? That doesn't betray our agenda. It furthers it, but allows them to see themselves in the process. Because I think that's what we had to do to close that divide. And unfortunately, black voters are the most sophisticated voters that exist period and we're going to exclamation mark that point on the program well well let's use obama as the example we thought he spoke well we thought that he was well groomed and well prepared and everybody was in love with michelle obama

but we that's how they're very white doing we didn't be well spoken and well groomed I'm putting it in a frame that I think most people recognize are societal attributes when you're considering somebody to be president of the United States he couldn't be no bright brother brown brother like me or Warnock from the south that's why I voted for him

because he seemed down I wasn't sophisticated as a voter but I will tell you our age range, we carried him when our grandparents and parents didn't believe. When they were skeptical. Now, when black folks saw that white folks in Iowa and New Hampshire were willing to go there for him,

then it changed our perception of what was possible. But black folks, unfortunately, but it has created in us a gift, have always had to consider how white people will vote when considering whether we could get behind that candidate, put money there, organize for that person. Because if it can't, if it ain't real, as pragmatic people, we're not going there, by and large. We support you. Hallelujah.

But society by and large isn't supporting you. So when we saw that, did we rally or did we rally? There was no turning back after New Hampshire. And then South Carolina, there was no, it changed the winds in South Carolina. The polling was different a week before. And Oprah was with him in South Carolina. So I'm saying

it was a lot of, he won a lot of cultural wars. Pop cultural wars. I think he changed frames. A whole lot. Yeah, because black folks were silently in the for him to get to that. A whole long time. Black folks were silently in the Clinton camp, if you remember. Oh, silently? Y'all talking about y'all inside political people. I'm talking about people just on the out.

I'm talking about my grandmother and my mother who were committed to voting for Hillary Clinton. The first time I ever voted was Barack Obama. Period. And you joined millions of others. That's what I'm trying to tell you, that President Obama energized a whole group of people who never even considered politics. That's literally what I think Andrew's point was. They were the young people first who carried him and made it feel like that was even possible.

Older black folks were like, this cannot happen. And the church pews and it wasn't happening. Not just political folks. And it wasn't because they were hating. That's right. They love us and want the best for us, but they are. They were scared. To your point of sophisticated why are we because we consider the performance of everyone else yep

bake it into the formula before we go in and make decisions uh about ourselves we don't have the privilege that's why we're going to talk about liberation because liberation is that i get to decide regardless of how it impacts i am going in here and I've got a frame and my freedom requires that I vote for this thing that's going to lead to more of that. All right. We got more with Angela Rod, Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Local Morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's still kicking with Angela Rod, Tiffany Cross, Andrew Gillum.

They have a new podcast, the Native Land Podcast. Now, I got a question. What is encouraging people out there to vote? Is it Joe Biden? Is it Donald Trump? People don't seem that enthused this year. Why would I get out and vote and not sit on the couch, right? That's what a lot of people are saying.

Why would I go vote for Biden? Or they're saying, I haven't heard, why wouldn't I sit on the couch? I have heard, I wish somebody else was running. I have heard that. I've heard it a lot more. It is scaring me, right? And what I hope comes out of this not just for us for the conversations we'll have on native land pod but i hope what comes out of this is a push from the administration to do some things to meet people where they are meet them in their sacrifice people showed up through

a pandemic for this administration show up for these folks. You know, I'm tired of having the conversation about the Democratic Party takes black voters for granted. We know. What are you going to do about it, Chairman Jamie Harrison? I know you. I know that you know the sacrifice. I know what you're up against with all those white consultants that ain't moved over there.

We got your back, so have ours, right? I think that it's time for us to really have that conversation more publicly. We've had it quietly because a lot of our friends work in there. have ours right i think that it's time for us to really have that conversation more publicly we've had it quietly because a lot of our friends work in there we want to give our we want to embolden our friends empower our friends but now we're at a point where our family members our friends are talking about this more publicly and they deserve to be held to account attack y'all when y'all speak out against uh their president biden well look i do Biden. There's some real plantation. Don't you talk about master like that.

That's the best we got. But, Leonard, it might not just be plantation mentality. Some of it is fear. I watched him in Texas. I don't want to minimize that fear. I got a check this time. There was legislation. You can't be mad at people who feel like that about Trump.

When they got these stimmies. I thought he was in my checks and balances. Not just the stimulus. There was legislation. You can't be mad at people who feel like that about Trump when they got these stimmies. Oh, you're talking about stimulus checks. I thought you were talking about checks and mail. Not just the stimulus. I'm saying the agenda. If you have kids and you were paying for daycare and you saw that that subsidy doubled on your taxes. Yeah. That it went to a three month, every three month disbursement.

Things have happened as a result of this man being in office that has improved our quality of life. How do you message? What? Well, you got to remind people and they have to stand the fight for it. What happened? Mentioned and Sinema said, we're not going back there. And that was all she wrote. Two Democrats said we're stepping back in the Senate.

And that was all she wrote. But I will tell you this much. If Biden were running off of this agenda. And by the way, I firmly believe these things ought to exist in society anyway, because we don't we don't pay people enough to deal with the hell we deal with to catch our breath from day to day. We are Native Land Podcast is going to be transformational because I think it's going to remind us of our power. And yes, elections have names on the ballot of people we don't like think too old might die but it is unfortunately the system that we are operating within and until we can coerce that system to looking more like the one that we believe we deserve that's right you don't

walk off the field you stay on the field because there are consequences to walking off the field trump said i know who's getting most impacted by this coronavirus and is mostly older, sicker and people of color. I knew right then in that press conference that he didn't care a lick about the coronavirus because the people who were at the intersection of the greatest impact didn't look like him. He didn't care about him him so on and so forth so if we just check out because we're not getting everything at least tell me you're checking out from joe biden because on the other side of the agenda you're getting more than what you're getting on this side i may have an unpopular take here so i may lose my amen corner but um there is a saying in politics that you can never blame the voter i am gonna blame the voter a little bit because i feel like society at large is so caught up again in bull and so there are many things that the administration has done that people benefit from i think one there's a lack of understanding in

civics in this country across every socioeconomic status across every racial divide people don't understand the difference between state federal and local government and so sometimes people ascribe blame where there should be none to the federal government too we have to take responsibility as citizens of this country it is our job to know when elections are happening what's on the ballot who's on the ballot why these things matter so maybe just maybe instead of scrolling through instagram looking at nonsense for three hours maybe pick up a paper or maybe Google, maybe say, what has Biden done for black America? That's a question you have

asked that that's a fair question. You should be asking it. I encourage that kind of curiosity. Ask it. Maybe you will be surprised. You can call up your member of Congress and say, hey, I got 50 friends at my house and we want to hear what you're doing for us. That member of Congress just might show up, maybe show up to the school board meeting where your kids are in school, where they're taking, they're rewriting history. They're banning books in this country right now. Maybe participate in that. At the bare minimum, you can read something. At most, you can go up and show up someplace and ask a question. You can host something. You can be a voice. You can write a check to a candidate. You can run for office. But these things do require some participation from us not us

sitting around whining about well i don't know what he did when you have this in your hand every five minutes and it's full of information you can find a reliable source from the white house website itself to newspapers etc and be informed i agree with you i just think we're intellectually dishonest about a lot of this stuff based on what party we like because we'll say things you say trump did the first step back trump didn't do the first step back congress did for it see a little intellectually dishonest everybody is based on what party i think that's fair you deal with on both on all sides yeah right yeah you're absolutely right you said google what biden did so you want so whatever he did pass what trump did she was she was saying to the question because people it does come up i

mean even in some of the questions in the comments where i was like what do you guys want us to address on the podcast one of them was what did biden do for black people versus the gop now because they can look at that speech from yesterday no the from the charleston speech because he had a whole list of stuff in the pulpit at Mother Emanuel of what he believes he did for black people. But the things he didn't get done, the first thing we'll say is was because Congress wouldn't allow him to. Yeah. He had gotten them done. I'm like, look what Biden did.

That's why I say it's a little. Well, I think be careful about y'all. Right. We have this fight all the time, even on our phone calls. Like, I don't like to. You saying y'all. Why are you saying y'all to me? No, that's not how you say it. Say y'all again.

Yeah. That's what she said. Say y'all again. I bet y'all said it. But no, I think at the end of the day, it is true that we will assign blame to people that sometimes don't deserve it when there is a whole process, to Tiff's point, on civics.

And we will reward someone who we need them to win. You know, and I think that, again, going back to the reason we're here today, Native Lamb Todd, every Thursday, we're going to be honest about processes. We want our folks to be smarter. We want folks to hold us to account. If we say something wrong, tell us. We want to get it right. And it's not to be right. It's because we want to be better. We want to be free. We want to walk in our true liberation. If we can get our folks one step closer to that, that's what we want to do every single day. As long as we give them a shout out right now, because black people, ever since we've been able to participate in elections and before, have been holding this country and pushing this country closer to its true vision of an American dream and its principles upon which it's built

enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution and reiterated throughout. It's been black voters who have consistently showed up to hold America to the fire of the promise that we weren't even designed in from its beginning. The words were there. The actions weren't even designed in from its beginning. The words were there, the actions weren't, and black folks have been the reinforcers and the accountability agents to make the words mean something. That's right. That's right.

Native Land Podcast starts January 11th. And I think it's very important to note that this is the first flagship podcast from Reason Choice Media, which is a political podcast network with iHe iheart that angela is the founder of with you and chris mile and it is my honor there you go yes so it'll be a lot more shows uh coming down the pipeline that's right well we appreciate you guys for joining us thank you so much subscribe to native land podcast right now that Do it. That's right. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kanye West. Rumor has it. Rumor has it.

Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patty. I'm gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. Now, Kanye West is being sued for allegedly assaulting a man. Now, back on January 13, 2022.

What kind of assault now? Kanye West allegedly beat up a man named Justin Popowski. Now, it's been two years later. The man is suing him for assault and battery. Now, this man is an alleged autograph dealer. They say he goes around L.A. allegedly and looks for autographs. And then he dealer he uh they say he goes around la allegedly and looks for autographs and then he flips it and then he sells the autographs well kanye west uh actually spoke about this incident with jason lee and now this interview is actually coming back to

the forefront because people are talking about what he said in this interview the autograph secret they're taking the autographs and make money on it this is the same as a paparazzi. This is not a fan. This is someone using your image. They probably never listened to your songs. So I end up getting into an altercation with the guy that wanted to make money off my autographs. And this dude, he just had this real attitude. Like, what you going to do? And this and that.

I'm going to just tell you that blue COVID mask didn't stop that knockout. Was it the taunting? The disregard for your privacy? What was it? It's all that, but that's what Hollywood be. Pay him, Kanye. I mean, you got no choice. You admitted to it. You have to pay him.

But I will say, it is a sense of harassment that comes from these paparazzi folk, but I guess when you're a celebrity on the level of Kanye West, it kind of comes with the territory. But you're still human at the end of the day. Well, the guy is saying that Kanye punched him once and now he's severely injured, including disfigurement, lost earnings, mental pain and suffering. Yeah. And claiming it affected his sex life with his wife. Oh, yeah, man. You get hit by somebody as rich as Kanye West.

You got to put that act on. You got to drop to the floor and hit a seizure and a Harlem Shake at the same damn time. I mean, I ain't never getting up. I ain't getting up till somebody move me. Okay? We do have audio of the incident, but we're not going to play it. But the last part of the incident, he goes, can somebody call the police? Somebody call the police.

I can't even move. Please. I can't get up from this position. I am here. I'm not moving. I'm not moving till the police come, the ambulance. I'm not moving. And if you let a man beat you up in some socks, you deserve it. Shut up, man. Kanye West had them socks on,

man. Did anybody buy those socks? I don't think they came out. I think you could pre-order them. I think you could pre-order them. I think they sold out, actually, on the site, but you could pre-order them. I don't think they came out yet. I think they sold out, actually, on the site. But you can pre-order them. I don't think they came out yet. Boy, you dudes going to look so stupid in the springtime with them stockings on. Y'all going to be out here with shorts and stockings on looking stupid in the spring.

Don't get on interviews and say you're not big on fatherhood and the only reason your kids are here is because the interviewer is there. He said that. No, he said that himself. That was you, my brother.

And Boulay Kev actually said, oh, I see you with your kids. I see you playing with your kids. And he says, I'm not big on fatherhood. But lastly, Jonathan Majors, well, he says he respects Coretta Scott King. He got backlash yesterday because he mentioned Coretta Scott King numerous times when it comes to his women. We have those clips when he mentioned her. Do we have to play this? How would you describe your relationship?

She's an angel. She's held me down like a Coretta, you know? I'm so blessed. Okay. Well, yesterday he said, my intention was to convey the utmost respect for Coretta Scott King, her achievements, and both her personal legacy

and the one she shares with her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King. Jonathan, you should be... All of that he said, it should have just been for Megan Good. What did he say? Say it again. Which part? My intention was to convey my utmost respect for... Okay, stop. Your intention

should be to pay the utmost respect to Megan Good because she's been coming with you to the court dates every day. And what else? Her achievements and both her personal legacy and the one she shares with her husband. You can do that to Megan Good, too. Just take the husband part out. But all you really wanted to do

was just pay respect to Megan Good for holding you down in court. Give her all the glory for that. All right? Don't bring Coretta into this. Now, especially after you done compared the white woman to Coretta, too. You compared that little stick figure

to Coretta Scott King as well, okay? All right? That woman look easy to draw. I can draw her right now.

He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida

from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez.

At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is

still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is a miracle. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.

And yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. To the breakfast club, bitches! Alright, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Donkey of the day for Thursday, January 11th, goes to one of the most unserious yet hilarious places in America, Capitol Hill. Now, I spend a lot of time watching CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, simply because some of the best comedy in the country is coming from these places.

I know there's places folks go for comedy. There's comedy houses, comedy clubs all over the country. But the best dramedy, which is my the country but the best dramedy which is my favorite genre the best dramedy is coming live from washington dc okay look i hate to be the pessimist here but unless god intervenes we are in the america series finale all right listen all great empires fall at some point it's inevitable for america to do the same we had a pretty decent run and i know what you're thinking if you are a minority in this country you're like no we have not had a decent run listen trust me after this year you are going to be begging for

old america back all right once this country gets a taste of true fascism and authoritarian rule we gonna be begging to get regular good old racist homophobic sexist america back but i digress let's get back to the comedy show that is capitol hill yesterday hunter biden all right decided to make a surprise guest appearance to a congressional contempt hearing about him. Yes, Hunter Biden refused to appear for a private deposition on Capitol Hill as part of Republicans' impeachment inquiry

into President Joe Biden, which centers on allegations of corruption by the president and his family. And I don't blame Hunter at all. I'm not doing a private deposition with the ops. Okay, let's do this publicly for the world to hear because I don't blame Hunter at all. I'm not doing a private deposition with the ops. OK, let's do this publicly for the world to hear, because I don't trust y'all. They should have sworn him in right there and spoke to him in front of the world. But let's look at the reality of the situation. The GOP is just torturing Hunter Biden in order to kill Joe.

That's all it is. Republicans are giving a Hunter Biden pure hell, torturing him in front of his father, hoping that President Biden has a heart attack. That's all this is. Republicans are on a seek and destroy mission. They just want to hurt the Bidens. And it's hard to work with people who aren't operating in good faith. So, yes, two Republican led House committees passed resolutions recommending that Hunter Biden be found in contempt to Congress for refusing to be deposed behind closed doors. But, yeah, you're not talking to me behind closed doors. I'm sure all of us at some point have been told if someone walks up on you with a gun or a weapon and tries to get you to go somewhere else, you don't go. Whatever you want to do, do it to me right here. That's the position Hunter Biden is in. And I don't blame him for not going behind closed doors with people who

are clearly out to get him and his family. I'm sure that's why he came to the hearing to let you all know I'm not hiding, but I'm not going behind closed doors with you. I thought he was a complete sucker for storming out, but I'm glad he did, because the comedy that ensued was priceless. Now, let's start with the congresswoman from South Carolina, Nancy Mace. She set it off on Hunter because she was one of the only Republicans who had the opportunity to directly confront him. Let's listen. First of all, my first question is who bribed Hunter Biden to be here today? That's my first question.

Second question, you are the epitome of white privilege coming into the oversight committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. What are you afraid of? You have no balls to come up here. Mr. Chairman, point of inquiry. Mr. Chairman, I think that Hunter Biden should be arrested right here, right now, and go straight to jail. You are the epitome of white privilege, and you have no balls. Fun fact, Nancy Mason and I attended the same high school, Scratford High School, Goose Creek, South Carolina. Drop on a clues bomb for Scratford High School.

She dropped out. I got kicked out. And her mother and my mother were both teachers at the same school. Scrapwood High School, Goose Creek, South Carolina. Drop on a clues bomb for Scrapwood High School. She dropped out. I got kicked out. And her mother and my mother were both teachers at the same school. Yes, Ms. Mace, Ms. McKelvey. I can't make this up. So me and Nancy, cool. Alright? I disagree with her that Hunter has no balls. I think it takes a lot of balls to show up to a contempt hearing about yourself, especially when you know what the backlash will be

because you already ignored their subpoena. And I do agree. It is a level of white privilege in who my daddy is that made Hunter move like this. But it's also, Nancy, what we call carcassity, unmelanated gall. That's what Hunter was really showing, y'all. He had the carcassity, the unmelanated gall to wipe his ass with y'all's subpoena,

just like Donald Trump has always done. Now it gets better. Representative Robert Garcia of California, he started going in on Marjorie Taylor Greene and he tapped her jaw for showing penis pics at hearings in the past listen it's um it's really uh interesting to hear the gentlelady from georgia uh speak about hunter biden leaving and she is the person that showed nude photos of hunter biden showing showing pics in this committee room of hunting to this committee in this very room what the hell is happening on capitol hill penis pics purity is out the window in politics or should

i say the perception of purity we know y'all have never been pure but there's no need to keep acting like it y'all ghetto just like the rest of the world y'all just chose to go into politics there's one more i want to play before i get into my favorite part this is representative prima primilla jaya jaya jaya pal I'm messing her name all the way up yes but listen to what she said about Donald Trump and what he incited but if we're going to talk about outrageous things that have happened or things that have never happened let's talk about the fact that President trump incited an erection and maybe that too whoa wow yeah you could talk about that too i guess maybe that too i know yesterday was hump day all right but between nancy mays talk about balls robert garcia scolding marjorie taylor green for penis pics and

representative jay apow saying trump incited an erection y'all was extra horny on capitol hill yesterday it was a party party okay now i want to know whose erection did trump incite we found out last year it was a democratic senate staffer having sex with another man in a senate hearing room so we already uh know that men incite other men to have erections on the hill so who amongst us has a ding dong for the donald huh now let's get into my favorite part of yesterday's mess when hunter biden oh we got boy this is the best part when hunter biden stormed out the house uh house hearing after showing up unexpectedly he stepped out of the frying pan into the fire because there was a reporter on the scene asking all the questions inquiring minds wanted to know listen can you please i'll answer your question if you

be quiet and let me make a statement okay crack do you normally smoke mr biden what kind of crack do you normally smoke, Mr. Biden? What kind of crack do you normally smoke? There's more. Where's the rest of it at? When he asked about what type of crack it was. Y'all don't have that? Huh?

Gosh, come on, man. Y'all always fail me here. I truly don't know how shows like SNL are still on because everything is a spoof. And real life is funnier. Daily show. Where are you? Okay. Nobody makes fun of political news stories better than the daily show.

When are y'all coming back? And with what host? I'm getting sidetracked. Dropping the clues bombs to the reporter for asking real questions. Okay. The real questions people wanted to know. Do we, do we have, do we have that? Do we have the rest of it yet?

Okay. Well, nevermind. People wanted to know these things. Remember when my good brother killer Mike was on one of my TV shows that got canceled and he said this? Why is Hunter Biden not in jail? I saw that n**** smoking crack. I seen him with a prostitute. That m**** out smoking crack gonna be in Ukraine now. He's right.

You smoke crack, don't you? You smoke crack, don't you? Look at me, boy. Don't you smoke crack. If you would have hit him with that, if he would have hit Hunter Biden with that 10-10, all across the board. Listen, man, do y'all understand that it's only January 11th of 2024 and it's an election year?

I knew the series finale of America was going to be great, but we haven't even gotten to the good parts yet. As the good brother, Lil Duvall says, if you're not laughing at life, you are missing the point. Furthermore, what else are we supposed to do? Okay, I truly believe this is above all of us now. only god can fix any of this because humans simply can't please let remy ma give everybody on capitol hill the entire congress donkey of the day hee-haw hee-haw you stupid mother are you dumb all right yes well thank you for that donkey today now uh when we come back let's open up the phone lines you ain't got nothing yes we do let's talk parental competition i'm gonna tell you where this comes from shout to mac our producer came up with this night this idea

he was asking as parents do y'all have friendly competition and what does that mean well uh travis barker's ex-wife expresses a frustration as she consistently uh tries to outdo her in parenting well what does that mean i'll do somebody in parenting i'm explained so when the kids are out with mommy they might do something else but when the kids are out with daddy you try to make it even more fun you try to make it better you try to make the experience better with dad than you do with mom so that is the question 800-585-1051 do y'all have parental competition you don't have that with your wife when you go out with the kids no why what's the point we're a family we're having a good time together no you're stupid so if you do stuff like that i can i can see you doing dumb no i do fun

stuff with the kids that i know that mom won't do. Like, I know that if I take my kids to the jump park, I know my wife's not jumping around in no damn jump park, but I do it with my kids because we have more fun. That's not a competition, though, because she's choosing. She don't want to do it. That's true. It's not even competition. She don't want to do it.

That's true. But that's the question. 800-585-1051. We're talking parental competition. Do you have that competition within your family? Let's discuss. Not if it's the question. 800-585-1051. We're talking parental competition. Do you have that competition within your family? Let's discuss. Not if it's a family. Maybe if y'all separated and, you know, you got a house over here and she got a house over there and y'all not together.

But there's no competition if y'all are family. Why? Well, 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 nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us we're talking parental competition all right now this conversation comes from travis

barker and his ex-wife uh his ex-wife was saying that uh she's frustrated sometimes because he consistently tries to outdo her when it comes to parenting right and i was thinking about my relationship with my wife and yeah no i try to outdo my wife i ain't even gonna say that lie because yeah absolutely positively i do not me and my wife are a team and uh we were just having this conversation yesterday. Like there's no rule book or no manual for parenting. So a lot of it is on the job training. And, you know, you're if you are blessed to be in a relationship with a wife and a husband in the household. Boy, y'all need each other because it's going to be times that you fall short as a parent and don't feel like you're getting it right. And there's times where she won't feel like she fell short and she wasn't getting

it right but what you have to remember is y'all are in it together. Y'all are a unit. We are a unit. We are a team but yeah it is friendly competition when it comes to the house no matter what it is. No matter if we're all out and we're roller skating, we're bowling or if we're cleaning the house. Bowling is supposed to be.

But let's say we're cleaning the house right? The kids are rather clean with dad than clean with mom. Because cleaning with dad, we're going to play music. We're going to laugh. We're going to joke. We're going to have fun. Or cleaning with dad. Dad ain't really paying attention to the details.

Dad ain't really cleaning. Because I'm sure that mama got to come behind all of y'all and do it right. Because y'all didn't get it right. Because daddy too busy trying to be cool with his pants sagging. You be in my house? And his Beijing and his beard. You know what I mean? You'd be in my house.

Making jokes looking dumb. You'd be in my house. No. It's just silly. Like, I mean, I'm not like competition should be when you really doing things for competition like playing Uno or Monopoly or like you said, going bowling. But competition is parents and y'all together. I just think what it is.

I think a lot of times dads are more fun when it comes to most of them. My wife takes the kids out somewhere to the mall. They prefer to go with dad because dad's going to have a lot more fun. I'm definitely not. Dad's going to eat the fast food, the food that mom ain't going to let you eat. I'm not the fun dad. I am the angry black father. The angry black dad.

I'm understanding, but I'm, yeah, I'm really, I'm the disciplinarian. I don't discipline my kids physically, of course, but I am the stop that. No, that's not happening. I'm taking that away. I'm not. I'm the disciplined person, too, but I'm also the fun dad. I'm the one that's going to dance. I'm the one that's going to do stupid stuff.

I'm the one that we're going to have a good time when we're out with dad. Listen, we're going to have a good time, but I ain't the fun. I don't want to be referred to as the fun dad. I'm daddy. I'm daddy. Okay, father. Hello? Yo, what's going on? Hey, what's up? have a good time, but I don't want to be referred to as the fun dad. I'm daddy. I'm daddy. Okay? Father. Hello?

Yo, what's going on? Hey, what's up? What's your name, bro? What's up? This is Ray from Queens. Ray from Queens. What part of Queens? Jamaica.

Oh, south side? Nah, I actually live in Springfield Gardens. Oh, okay. North side. Springfield Gardens. All right. All right. Cool.

You know, that's my side of town. But all right. So we're asking parental competition. Talk to us, brother. I don't think it's really a competition i think it's more so like women as a whole by the understanding that when it comes to parenting like they're just not the fun parent so like you might be trying to get your kids to have fun but it's a different vibe when they with dad like just just because dad is bad now are you in a relationship where you and your woman are in the same household?

Are you married? Yes, I am. Oh, okay, good. All right. But that's what I said. When you got to clean up the house and the kids clean up with you, it's fun.

We're going to listen to music. We're going to dance. We're going to make a game out of it. We're going to make a game out of it. Right, that's what I'm saying. When mom does it, it's too serious. With mom,

it's like, you better go clean that room. Correct. It's like, understand better go clean that room now. Correct. Because it's like, so kids understand that, like, when they get in trouble, and they be like, oh, your dad, your father's going to come talk to you, we don't really want to come talk to you. Mom is making up. That's not.

That is the truth. No, speak for yourself. Yes, it is. Speak for yourself. Where I feel you. If I need to talk to my daughters about something i enjoy the conversation like those are the conversations like i i was told just last week that i always lecture yeah that's what i'm here for i'm 45 years old i got 30 more

i got 30 more years of experience in life than you so when i hear certain things that you have done or said i've seen this before so i can tell you how it's gonna go so yes if you think it's gonna be a lecture or a ted talk it absolutely will be now uncle charlotte i understand that completely but what i'm saying is like when kids are in the house with mom right yeah and they they get into a little thing and she couldn't handle this. But instead of handling it, your father's going to talk to you. Now, I got to get dragged into y'all mess that I wasn't even home for. I wasn't even home. I don't even know all the details.

But time out. You know what, Daddy? You said we don't even really want to talk to the kids. Neither does your wife. That's why she said I'm going to let your daddy handle it. Now, we the bad guy.. Now we the bad guy. Now we the bad guy. We the bad guy.

Yeah. Yeah, and it's like, yo, why I got to be the bad guy? Because you just didn't nip this in the bud before I got home. Now you the bad guy. But then if you don't be the bad guy, now your wife mad at you. Yeah. So it's like you caught her in a little situation. Dan, if you do, Dan, if you don't.

Yeah. Thank you, Ray. Oh, Dan, my bad, Ray. Brother McQueen you, Ray. Oh, Dan, my bad, Ray. Brother McQueen, my bad. Hello, who's this? Good morning. Good morning. What's your name?

Ayana. Hey, Ayana. We're talking about parental competition. Talk to us. My husband can do more wrong than my kids. Like, he, anything he does is golden. And so, I'm always trying to top it. Just to hear the kids, you know, say something good about something that I do because I'm always the bad guy.

So, yeah, I'm always trying to top it. Even though I can't, but still. So what you're saying is since your kids think that your husband can do no wrong, you try to outdo him when you do things. So they look at you a little better. Yes. Absolutely. Okay. Thank you, Ayanna. 800-585-1051 we're talking parental competition if you have kids whether you're together or separated do you try to outdo your spouse that is the question let's discuss it's Maybe. Just for some conversation. If y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it.

It's Topic Time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking parental competition. This story actually comes from Travis Barker. You know, Travis Barker is married to Kourtney Kardashian.

His ex-wife spoke out and said she's a little frustrated. She says that he attempts to outdo her in everything involving the kids when it comes to parenting. And we're just asking, do you do that in your relationship? Do you see that as well? Hello, who's this? Hey, Josh. Hey, Josh. Good morning.

We're talking parental competition. Talk to us. Yeah, there's plenty of competition going on out there. I'm a married man. I just think when it comes to, let's say, the fun department, you know, the kids, their dads got them all through. And even when it comes down to the grandparents, you know, it's a slick competition.

It might not be said. And even if everybody get along, you know, like I said, I'm a married competition. It might not be said, and even if everybody get along, you know, like I said, I'm a very man, but I like the competition because it kind of boosts up the morale in the family. Yeah,

you know, and the thing is too, is like with my wife, right, my wife's going to be, she's going to buy the clothes for the kids, right,

especially the boys, and the boys don't care about no clothes. They want the toys. Dad's going to get the PS5. Dad's going to get the video games. Dad's going to be the one

that's going to be outside in the snow, throwing each other in the snow. Mom's going to get the PS5. Dad's going to get the video games. Dad's going to be the one that's going to be outside in the snow, throwing each other in the snow. Mom's going to be the one over them making sure the homework is done right. Mom's going to be the one making sure they eat their food. Dad's going to be the one. When it snowed the other day in New Jersey, dad was outside with things. Mama was in the window.

Right. Let me just say this real quick, too. As a father, though, as a father that's in their children's life, I think it's always sort of competitive in the father's way because it's what we get out here, the rap that we get in the world. So regardless of what we do, we compete even if we don't think we compete. All right. Thank you, brother.

Hello, who's this? This is Dee. Hey, Dee. Good morning. We're talking parental competition talk to us so there is a little competition but not on my end my daughter is one years old and her dad and i i've separated but she's a mommy's girl i breastfed her her whole life so she always cleansed me well the other day when he was video chatting her he was just all over me per usual and um she wasn't

really engaging with him as much so he was like you always want your mama wait till i get some more money and i'm like she's a one-year-old what are you talking about i said what are you talking about he was like oh she's gonna want some stuff from the store we're gonna go hang out and this that and the third i'm like damn why are you jealous and by the way that's so whack and the reason that's so whack is because it's like yo even with the money she's still gonna naturally gravitate towards you just because you mommy like you said you you breastfed her that's what we that's what you really want as a father you want that kind of bond you don't want to bond because of what you can do for them financially hello who's this hey it? Hey, it's Eve. How you doing? Eve, good morning.

We're talking about parental competition. You got that in your relationship? I wouldn't say in my relationship, but as a single parent, yes, I'm dealing with that right now. So what does the daddy do? No. Well, I can't really say

I'm in competition with his dad, but I would say that when my son is with his dad, his dad would kind of more so spend more money as if him spending more money is better than spending time. And it's funny because I do fun things with my son all the time, so it's not like, okay, well, what'd you do with your dad? We did this, we did that. And, you know, like I i said as a single mother i raised my son since he's been young by myself so i just feel on his dad's behalf he feels like him doing more spending the money is like okay you're

doing something and it's like i don't know there competition, but I just, some parents aren't in competition when it's just like, you know, you're single, you got the child on this time, I got the child this time, where some parents who are together don't feel like there's no competition because you're working together. So, you know, I'm not in a relationship with his dad to feel like there's competition, but I really feel like his dad. Yeah, I always see more competition i can see actual competition in uh parents that aren't together when people are co-parenting you know what i mean like when you're a single mother and

you know you're you're you're a baby daddy i see that but not when it's a unit i don't really see competition with couples that are together i mean like for instance my wife is is going out for her friend's uh birthday dinner this this uh this weekend right so i know that you know i got the kids solo all night long right so i'm gonna make it fun like i'm gonna you know have the tents and we're gonna have a sleepover in in in the living room and we're gonna you know watch a movie and we're gonna do this but i it's not a competition. But I know they're going to be like, I have fun with daddy. It's a competition. They're supposed to have fun with daddy. You're their daddy, fool.

I know. Do you babysit your kids? That's what it sounds like. Nah. Okay, then. You shouldn't because you're their daddy. I Uber drive them, though. No, man.

I definitely Uber drive them. I don't hear when parents say they babysitting. I don't babysit my kids. I babysit. Who you babysitting? My kid? But I'm definitely an Uber driver. Listen, man.

The moral of the story is parenting is not a competition. Rather, it is a combination of teamwork, respect, and honor. And for all the co-parents out there, co-parenting is not a competition either. It's a collaboration of two homes working together with the best interests of the child at heart. Okay? Work for your kids, not against them. All right? Have a against them. All right? Have a good day.

All right. And to all the dads out there, you know them kids be having more fun with dad than mom. You know it. You know it. All right.

You don't even sound serious. You don't believe yourself. I am. I'm going to let you come to my house one time when we have a little fun. No, thank you. Yes, you will, sir.

Yes, yes. You have a little fun with us. All right. When we come back, we got to talk. So much to talk about. Sanad Lathan. Do you remember Ms. Cleo?

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel.

I mean, he look so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.

His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home, and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami. Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network,

available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Sanalathan. Rumor has it. Rumor has it.

Call out a name, or you gossiping, or you chatty this is the rumor report I mean I guess we on the breakfast club this is where the tea spills right right now I don't know if you guys remember there was a lady named miss Cleo that was a tarot card reader that was huge I would say in the late 90s early 2000s I was born in 1978 when you say you guys, who you talking to? We all remember Miss Cleo. Don't play with us. I'm just making sure. She was a tarot card reader

and let's play one of her commercials. The cards can reveal things that you will never see by yourself. Call me now for your free tarot reading. Call me now!

I don't even really think she was Caribbean. I don't think she was Jamaican. Your accent is as bad as I think Sanaa Latham's is going to be. Well, Sanaile latham is going to be playing miss cleo in a drama series called miss cleo all right she's also executive producing the project which i think is dope because it's i think there's a netflix documentary on it right now but i just thought

it was dope now they said in 20 and 2002 the federal trade commission charged the company's owners with uh deceiving advertising billing and collection practices they said uh miss cleo was never indicted the company worked and agreed on a settlement i think for 500 million dollars in debt paying the victims and also paying a five million dollar fine and it was cleo passed away in 2016 yes rest in peace to miss cleo i mean i'm making jokes when i say sani latham accent is gonna be bad but that should be like kind of the whole point because wasn't her accent phony? Yes. Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Call me now. I mean, that should be good. I think it'd be great. Because you don't know people's backstory, you know? And I know Ms. Cleo made some bread. Yes. Yes.

Now, also, Tiffany Haddish, she spoke out yesterday. She said she's currently 46 days sober. Good. I'm sharing this only because I think it's time for people to get up and do some work. I put in work.

I work every day, all day. I'm allergic to something out here. Some of y'all is lazy bums. I already stopped. I ain't had nothing to drink. Haven't drank in 46 days. Which is great. Remember, she was arrested in November 24thth of last year so the fact that she's

uh staying sober is amazing dropping a clue bomb for uh tiffany absolutely one day at a time that's all you can do and lastly a lot went down in uh sports yesterday when it came to coaches a lot of people retired a lot of people left let's go to the news report breaking news into sports that are busy news cycle for septuagenarian coaching greats. 72-year-old Nick Saban retired yesterday. 72-year-old Pete Carroll out in Seattle. And just now, the news that Bill Belichick, who turned 72 in April, is parting ways with the Patriots after 24 seasons in Foxborough. The six Super Bowl titles and all that. Let's bring in Adam Schefter, the man who broke the news.

Adam, what more can you tell us about what went into this decision? Well, David, this was a situation that was going on all week long. Discussions between Bill Belichick and Robert Kraft about how to figure out what to do going forward, what was the best solution. Ultimately, in the end, the two sides came to a meeting that they would go their own ways, and that is expected to happen today. I mean, the end of some errors. Nick Saban, Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll,

he stepped down, he took an advisory role with the Seahawks. 14 seasons with the Seahawks as coach, and now they say he's going upstairs, which is in the move. Nick Saban, 17 seasons as head coach of University of Alabama and of course uh Bilicek 17 division titles the most by a head coach in NFL history nine conference uh championships 12 Super Bowl appearances and uh 21 winning seasons as a head coach some of the best to ever do it man I think we're so used to seeing players retire that we don't uh even realize when coaches coaches do because you know a lot of of course coaches last way longer than the players right no but you know i think sometimes we just don't let's

check out one year in this contract so i don't know if he'll go to another team or if he'll just i would hope not i don't be kicking kick his feet up and relax somewhere i mean it's not even the first time we saw this in our lifetime we saw great great coaches like Dean Smith step down. We saw Coach K retire last year. Phil Jackson. Bob Knight. Eddie Robinson. Bill Walsh. Tom Landry.

We've seen it. We've seen it before. Yeah, a lot of them didn't leave the sport though. They just took other jobs and other roles where it was not as demanding. Shoot, I think most of the people

I just named left. For the most part. Yeah. I thought Phil Jackson still did something upstairs of the people I just named left. Yeah? For the most part. Yeah. I thought Phil Jackson still did something upstairs with the Lakers at one time. No? For the Knicks, I think.

Oh, for the Knicks at one time. Yeah. He wasn't a coach. He just was upstairs in the Lakers office. That's usually what happens. They either retire or pass away. Because it's hard to give

I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The cracker, 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.
