You guys have built a platform that influences. It's the world's most dangerous morning show.

DJ Envy. Envy playing my record, I made it. Charlamagne Tha God. Tha God will get you. Made you think that your liking of controversial questions would take you as far. I like this show. This is my favorite show. Thanks, Breakfast Club.

Good Morning USA. Good morning, USA! Back into the groove with things today. Does this thing work? I don't even remember what I do. Does my mouth still work? What's happening? Your friendly neighborhood bad guys are back on the air, man. Year 14. Drop on the clues bomb for year 14 of the Breakfast Club, damn it. Did we say Happy New Year? It don't matter no more. Happy New Year to everybody out there.

This is our first day back off of vacation. Man, what a vacation it was, too. Yeah, you went out to country, right? Yeah, I was in the beautiful country of Zanzibar. You know, I like the, it's a little, I guess you would call it a ritual. You know what I mean? Not an Illuminati ritual, okay? But a ritual where I like to bring the New Years in on the motherland, you know, in Africa.

Last year I did Ghana. This year I did Zanzibar. I was in Zanzibar. I was actually in Zanzibar the whole holidays. Before Christmas. I was there before Christmas and came back a couple days after New Year. Kids didn't mind Christmas out the country? No, they were cool with it?

No. What do they care when they get what they want anyway? You know what I'm saying? Does it really matter? Does Christmas matter? Does it matter where you spend Christmas? No. No. No. It depends.

As long as the kids get what they want, which was one gift this year. We did Christmas last year in Disney. The only thing my kids missed was the grandparents because my grandparents didn't come to Disney. Oh, okay. But this year, the whole crib, everybody was at the house, and we just enjoyed it. We had a great Christmas and a family vacation. But that's what life is about. Life is about making new traditions.

That's right. You know what I mean? So for me, that's a new tradition. And I love going out to country because when you go out to country, you start to realize how big your platforms are here in the States. You know what I mean? You know there's a show in Tanzania, Tanzania Zanzibar. They say it's the biggest radio show out there and it's called Power Breakfast.

Power Breakfast? It's called Power Breakfast. Oh, wow. So salute to Dropping the Clues Bombs for the Power Breakfast show in Tanzania Zanzibar. And, you know, you walk around and you're talking to people and they're coming up to you talking to you about things that they've heard you say and they're showing me video

clips of things they've watched on YouTube, whether it's from Breakfast Club or Brilliant Idiots or Daily Show. You hear them talking about people they enjoy. My man Johnson was talking to me about Dr. Uma. He liked Dr. Uma? He liked Dr. Uma a lot. He just don't understand why Dr. Uma

don't want him to be with no Snow Bunny. This is a brother from Tanzania's Anzabar. He had a Snow Bunny? I don't know if he had a snow bunny. I ain't getting all that, but I'm just assuming from the way he talked about Dr. Umar. And then he enjoyed Dr. Umar, but he said, I just don't understand the snow bunny thing. I don't understand the whole not being with a white woman thing. That's all he didn't get.

That's what he didn't get. Yes. All right. Yes. But it just reminds you that we don't have time for small talk. That's right. Okay? Especially in 2024. The world is listening. That's right. All right. Well. But it just reminds you that we don't have time for small talk. That's right. Okay? Especially in 2024.

The world is listening. That's right. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. When we come back, we got front page news. Teslin Figaro will be joining us, and then we got to talk about your Cowboys. The team that's on the way to the Super Bowl? I knew he was going to say that.

That team? And I told you my Giants was going to beat Philly one of those times. But we didn't need the Giants to do that. Thank you that the Giants did that, but Philly stunk it up the last end of the season. Yeah, they sure did. The last month, they was garbage. Yeah, they sure did. Garbage.

Sorry, Eddie, our producer who's a big news fan. All right, well, let's get to front page news next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news.

Good morning, Tess. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Charlamagne. God, happy New Year, guys. Glad to see you. Let's jump right into the sports. Over the weekend, a lot of NFL. Steelers beat the Ravens, 17-10.

Texans beat the Colts. The Lions beat the Vikings. Titans beat the Jaguars. Saints beat the Falcons. The Jets beat the Patriots. The Bengals beat the Browns. The Buccaneers beat the Panthers. The Packers beat the Bears.

The Cowboys beat the Commanders. The Raals beat the Browns. The Buccaneers beat the Panthers. The Packers beat the Bears. The Cowboys beat the Commanders. The Raiders beat the Broncos. And the Giants beat the Eagles. Also, the Rams beat the 49ers. Seahawks beat the Cardinals. And the Bills beat the Dolphins last year. And very important to note that the Dallas Cowboys are the NFC East champions. Drop on the clues bombs for us, please.

Okay. Number two seed in the whole NFC conference. Okay. And last night, Dak Prescott said, I don't want that NFC East hat. I got my eyes on something bigger. And you know what the bigger is? The Super Bowl. Okay.

Vegas, Usher, here we come. All right. Vegas, Usher, here we come. Dallas Cowboys against whoever in the Super Bowl. I've heard that before that you guys are going to the Super Bowl. But also, a salute to Draymond Green. He has officially been reinstated by the NBA after a 12-game suspension. So, Draymond Green will be playing, I'm sure, this week.

Drop on the clues, Draymond Green. I can't wait to see him choke somebody else out again. All right? All right, Draymond, don't you ever change. Okay? Don't listen to these people. You need enforcers in this world. You need enforcers in that business.

He is the last enforcer. Okay? Now, let's listen to these people. You need enforcers in this world. You need enforcers in that business. He is the last enforcer. Okay? Now let's talk about Alaska Airlines. Yes, the FFA is grounding the Boeing 737 after a door detached. I don't know if you guys saw that. I did. It was crazy. Let's go to CBS for the report.

War in the air as a plug door blew off this plane while it was 16,000 feet in the sky. Seattle, Alaska. 12-8-2, we just depressed. We're declining emergency. We need her to send down to 10,000. The 171 passengers and six crew members on board the aircraft Friday evening were headed to Ontario, California. Videos taken from inside the plane show passengers appearing calm.

I heard like a big bang. And then I looked to my left and there's this huge chunk, part of the airplane just like missing. There was a kid in that row who his shirt was sucked off him and out of the plane. No serious injuries were reported. Could this have been much worse? If this had happened at higher altitude, the odds are it could have been a whole lot worse. Wow. What in the Spirit Airlines?

That's crazy. What's the point of Alaska Airlines? Do they only go to Alaska? No, they don't. They go everywhere. Actually, I flew on Alaska Airlines before. They go everywhere. Really?

Yeah, they go international as well. Yeah, it's just certain airlines I don't even consider. Like Spirit, Southwest, Alaska Airlines. Alaska Airlines is usually not that bad. I don't even consider them. Just because they say Alaska Airlines. I'm like, I ain't Alaska Airlines. Alaska Airlines is usually not that bad. I don't even consider them. Just because they say Alaska Airlines, I'm like, I ain't never been to Alaska. No plan to go. Well, let's keep Southwest out of it, but

these Boeing 737s, they're also in United Airlines, and so they have delayed, they said look for some delays because they've basically landed all of those planes, and this particular plane has only been in operation for a couple of months, so they may have something to do with as well did they say how this how this happened like you know what what caused what caused the window just to blow out well it was a door a door it was a yeah a door that was attached and they said they do not know

they're doing the investigation it was a door that was not an operational door so it was just kind of there and i believe she said it was something to just give people more room so it was a door that wasn't even necessary to be there um and it's something that's new like i said new on this plane they're doing the investigation to see why they also said you heard them talk about how much worse it could have been imagine if you know the stewardess were up and walking around and you know getting people going back and forth to the restroom and so kind of gave you a new reason to think about seatbelts because she was saying it was good that everybody had on their seatbelt. But then you also saw that the wind, it pulled the headrest off. So I don't know how much a seatrest would have been able to be helpful.

But yeah, they're doing the investigation now. Where were they traveling to? Do we know? Yes, they were on their way to... Ontario, I think. Canada. Yes. Lucky they wasn't going to Florida or Georgia somewhere because, boy, some wigs would have been flying off of them. to do you know do we know yes they were on their way to ontario thing canada yes uh-huh lucky they wasn't going to florida or georgia somewhere because boy some wigs would have been flying off

soon as that door okay we detected it we got to see how strong some of that wig glue is if that would have happened if they was on the way to florida or georgia somewhere but i flew alaska airs before they have first class they have great sections they it's actually when i flew there it was a cool airline i didn't have any sections they it's actually when i flew there it was a cool airline i didn't have any problem with it but i don't know if i'll but it's not alaska airline they're saying it's possibly the new jets that they put into circulation yeah it's the jet it's the yeah the boeing 737 so look for some delays if you fly on united airlines as well somebody just ain't do their job they got to make them doors as tight as them people wigs that was

on that plane because if ain't no wigs flew off then clearly those wigs their job. They got to make them doors as tight as them people wigs that was on that plane. Because if ain't no wigs flew off, then clearly those wigs was on tight. They got to put the doors on just as tight. And how many sky miles can you give me to make up for that? I know that's right. You know what I'm saying? I got to get free flights at least for the rest of 2024, right? Yeah. Then imagine you the person right next to the door, though.

Imagine you that person. You're looking outside. Come on, man. Nah. Come on, man. I need more than some miles. All right. Well, that is front page news.

Thank you, Tez. We'll see you in a little bit. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. We are back from vacation, so we are really here. This is not pre-taped. We are here.

So, Beth Charlamagne, I just want you... ...to know that Becker reported and Yachter not have won that game against the Lions.

There's another Detroit in there right there. Why are you mad that the referees know who America's team is? They said, y'all ain't checking. He checked in, and y'all know what? It is signs all over Detroit saying that the real record is 13-4 and that Decker reported. Y'all do this to us all the time. What is the problem here?

There is no problem. The referee— We have never won a Super Bowl. We have never won anything. We come this close, and y'all play us like that. That's right. Well, it's not going to be y'all year this year either, okay? Dallas Cowboys, let's go.

It's not going to be after the a 737 it's called a 737 max okay that plane was made to it was made cheaply was made to be on an awesome budget type of stuff and you know they was thinking yeah they was thinking more about um quantity trying to get money more than in quality you know i mean if y? If y'all remember, about three or four years ago, they had a bunch of 737s that was crashing.

And that was because, you remember that? I remember that a couple of years ago. They had their, they grounded those for a while, yup. Yeah, that's the same 37, 37 max. Don't ride those, because I don't be up in the air as much as y'all, but if y'all be up in the air like every weekend, and I think y'all should check the model.

Oh, okay. Well, y'all travel way more than I do. So, E, how do you have this knowledge, E? You work for the airlines? No, I don't work for the airlines. I used to work for a contractor, which I can't say. I'd rather not say, but I worked for a contractor that used to deal with the software. Damn.

The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. What's happening? Get it off your chest. I can't believe I connected with y'all. We out here. But, yes, I just want to it off your chest. I can't believe I connected with y'all. We out here.

People be trying to downplay 9 to 5. It's not what's popping no more. But I just got off my 9 to 5. My 9 to 5 is getting me a crib.

It's getting me a car. So yeah, people out there, do not play with my 9 to 5 and my 9 to 5 is getting me a crib and getting me a car. People out there do nothing with their 9 to 5. I bet you you're making more money at your 9 to 5 than these so-called entrepreneurs are making. That own their own businesses that don't have no boss. That's facts. No, for real.

No, for real. If you want to be an entrepreneur and you know it's working for you, do what works for you. Everybody be seeing stuff on the internet and they be like, let me do this let me do this but you know like i said be your own person do what works for you it's the it's such a ridiculous narrative when uh people are ashamed to have a job nowadays you know what i mean like one of the things that i've always encouraged people to do is man go to trade school pick up a trade because we need people out here

that know how to do hvac we need people out here that know how to do HVAC. We need people out here that know how to, you know, be electricians. We need plumbers. You know what I'm saying? No, it's the truth. We need contractors. We need these people

who know how to do things with their hands. And guess what? Y'all always going to eat. Yeah, no. Always. Think about it right now. It's wintertime

and who's probably one of the first people on the phone lines? The HVAC guy to make sure the heat works. That's right. The plumber to make sure that the pipes don't freeze. That's right. Or mechanics to make sure your car's running through the winter. So absolutely positive.

I got to go get my oil changed today. Okay. All right. I'm literally going to go get my oil changed today. And guess what? I'll be having to get my oil changed every other month. So clearly, they always eating. That's right.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. When we come back, we got a lot to discuss. Let's start off with Cat Williams. He had some interesting things to say about a couple of his peers. And we'll get into that next. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. 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. I own this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God. All right, who got the food? This is the Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. All right, now let's start off with Cat Williams. Cat Williams sat down with Shannon Sharp on Club Shea Shea.

Club Shea Shea. It was two hours and 45 minutes long, and I think Cat Williams came at damn near everybody. And when I mean everybody, I mean everybody. Well, he started off- His peers from his class. Well, not just his peers. Not just his peers. Who else?

He went at rappers. Well, we'll get we'll get into some of it at first he started with cedric the entertainer saying that cedric the entertainer stole his jokes 1998 i'm doing this joke it's on comic view cedric comes to the comedy store he watches me in the audience he comes backstage he tells me what a great job I did and how much he loves the joke. Two years later, he's doing that as his last joke on the Kings of Comedy, and he's doing it verbatim. He's just changed my car into a spaceship. Him and Steve had already apologized for me, so I gave him a pass for that decade

Why would you sit here and be like I talked to I saw cat 30 times. I would have bust Cedric's stomach There was nothing that would have kept me from one of these in that patch right there like are you kidding me? Why would you downplay me like that i don't know if cedric stole the joke or not but uh stealing jokes is very common and comedians calling out other comedians for stealing jokes is very common well cedric said he didn't steal that joke he said he did that uh years before he even knew who uh cat williams was well cat williams also spoke about steve harvey the same steve that went to go watch mark curry do his whole sitcom and then stole everything mark curry had now steve got a sitcom where he the principal and he wear a suit and he and then he gets this high top fade making all black men think he got the best lineup in the business and it's a man unit

Then you ask why you not a movie star? I didn't want to be a movie star It's the same micro that hated on burning with the same thing I didn't really be a movie star. No you couldn't be a movie star There are 30,000 new scripts in Hollywood every year not one of them asked for a country bumpkin black dude that can't talk good. Oh, but can't be. And look like Mr. Potato Head. There ain't none. You would have to have a range.

I mean, that's kind of, I understand what Cat is trying to say. But I mean, didn't Steve, hasn't he defeated that? Because he's worth hundreds of millions of dollars. So it's clearly somebody like the country bumpkin. Well, a lot of people do. He has a lot of shows out there right now. The biggest thing that he talked about just now was the man unit.

What the hell is a man unit? The hair, man. The flat top. Was the flat top removable? Was it fake? I don't know. I never thought about it. You could have just attached it on. I never thought about it. Did they have those type of units in the 90s? I don't know. I never thought about it. You could have just attached it on. I never thought about it. Did they have those type of units in the 90s? I don't know.

I don't know. How well do you think that flat top would have stayed on when that door opened on the last game? You think that flat top would have stayed on? Drop on the clues bomb for Steve Harvey. Absolutely. Now he also talks about Kevin Hart.

In 15 years in Hollywood, no one in Hollywood has a memory of going to a sold-out Kevin Hart show. I do. And being a line for him ever getting a standing ovation at any comedy club. He already had his deals when he got here. Have we heard of a comedian that came to L.A. and in his first year in L.A LA he had his own sitcom on network television and had his own movie called Soul Plane that he was leading no we've never heard of that before that person or since that person what do you think a plant is maybe people don't understand the definitions of these words he just did his documentary with Chris Rock where he shows you that his whole upbringing in comedy was on the East Coast.

Yeah, it was. So how simultaneously was he here in Los Angeles doing the same thing? I talked about that on Brilliant Idiots last week, but man, we all witnessed Kevin Hart's come up. You know what I mean? Even when he got Soul Plane and Soul Plane flopped, when he got soul plane and soul plane flopped when he got to nbc sitcom and the nbc sitcom flopped he was back in those comedy clubs you know putting in the work and and like one thing that i always said that i love that kevin did everybody who would come to his show whether it was 10 people 100 people 200 people he would collect their emails and he started sending out a newsletter and that newsletter is what helped him to continue to grow his audience even, even more.

To the point where we watched him here in New York City sell out Caroline's 12 times. Yeah, I think that's why we always say Kev is a friend to the room. He's a real friend to the room because we actually saw him start from the beginning and do Caroline's and do these other smaller clubs. And we've seen his motion. We've seen it grow into who he is, what he is now. So we've actually seen it motion we've seen it growing into who he is right what he is now so we've actually seen it we've seen it with him i've seen it with donald rollins i've seen it with uh little duval i've seen it with so many different comedians that we've actually seen from the ground up and and soul playing wasn't kev's first movie like you got movies like paper soldiers

you got death of a dynasty like dame dash was seeing kevin hart in those comedy clubs back in the day and putting kevin in movies way before soul plane at least a couple of years before soul play that's right so if you're just joining us we're talking about cat williams we're in the rumors of course he was on shannon sharp show club shea shea and he just was going at everybody including ludicrous are you related to uh ludic no um so there was a crossroads where we were both invited to an illuminati thing and it had to be one or the other of us and decisions had to be made so it was both of us we were equal one of us had to cut off all their hair and couldn't do the sideburn thing no more with the points and the next person they said was going to get 200 million dollars because they were going to pay him 10 million a movie to do 20 movies and that's how the

conversation happened one of those persons turned out to be ludicrous and the other person turned out to be cat williams now one person ended up with a light-skinned ugly face wife that's never done it remember i told you that if i say that, it'll apply to seven people? It's part of what they give you. Here's the thing. Cat Williams won with this interview. All right? Shanna Sharp won with this interview.

Dropped one of Clues' bombs for both of them. Fuck she said. Right? And I think Cat's going on tour, the Doc Matters tour. I think tickets are on sale now. But here's the thing. If you look at this interview as just entertainment fine it was clearly very entertaining but for those who hear stories like the ludicrous story or listen to the industry plant stuff if you're looking at this interview as something more

because 2024 is the year of exposure and it's the year of truth telling about the industry and the year of telling truth about celebrity well let me ask you a question when it comes to the industry when it comes to hollywood when it comes to you know calling out a system when are y'all gonna start calling out the people who really control things when are y'all gonna start you know uh when y'all gonna start calling out folks with the real power because contrary to the nigger net's popular belief the real power isn't coming from any of those negroes uh cat was talking about so when are folks gonna start calling out the white people who are in these positions of power, these real positions of power?

I don't believe in any of that industry plant stuff, but if there are industry plants, how come we always go after the plant and not the planters? If folks is out here putting black people in dresses or making folks do sexual favors in return for roles or whatever, why are we not calling those executives out, the people who finance the projects, the studio heads, the people who finance these scripts? why are we not calling those executives out? The people who finance the projects,

the studio heads, the people who finance these scripts. How come we not calling them out? Because I know they not black. And for some reason, it's just very easy for us to always go at each other. But to me, that's a form of victim blaming. Call out the people with the real power.

And I know he called out Harvey Weinstein, but Harvey's in prison. You know what I mean? But there's still a whole system out here and a whole bunch of executives who still move in foul and they not black when they gonna start getting called out because once again not one of those negroes cat was talking about got any real power yeah he also calls out so many different people jonathan mages diddy and yay but also at the end of it uh people

are giving shannon sharp a little flack so he he said that it just wasn't about that. He's a conversationalist. It was disappointing to me because there are people that do what you and I do. Yeah. That had so much to say. And it's only because of jealousy. Because I guarantee you, if Cat was on their podcast and did exactly what he did on my podcast, they would have never said what they're saying right and what i always try to do is not talk over the guests they come okay tell your side tell your story when was the time that i've cut somebody off now you want me to cut him off man but he going in

okay i mean that's the point of having that space where you can tell your truth that's the whole point i mean how can you call a cat out if you don't know what's true and what's not true? Like, how do you fact check someone's version of events? Like, Shannon's absolutely right. Like, you can't fact check someone's versions of events

if you don't know, you know, if what he's saying is true or not. Like, only thing I could have pushed back on from the clips I heard is what he said about Kev, you know, in regards to Kev not telling on the shows. But other than that, how do you push back if he wasn't there?

No, I'm talking about that man's wife could have pushed back on that well that's that's just you saying hey don't talk about the man's wife but that's not a fact check you know all i'm simply saying is when we're gonna start calling out the white people who in these positions of power we always take a name at each other but once again i don't i don't believe in the industry plant stuff but if they are in off there industry plants, how can we always go after the plant and not the planters? All right. That's all I'm saying. Well, that is your rumor report.

Now, when we come back, we got front page news. Tezlin Figaro will be joining us in the Breakfast Club. We back off vacation. We back. We live. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club.

Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlemagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Morning, Taz. Good morning, DJ Envy, Charlemagne the God. Peace, Taz.

I'm going to start off with some quick sports. All right. Now, the Steelers beat the Ravens. Texans beat the Colts. Lions beat the Vikings. Jets beat the Patriots. The Titans beat the Jaguars. Send the Jaguars home. Saints beat the Falcons. The Bengals beat the Vikings. Jets beat the Patriots. The Titans beat the Jaguars. Send the Jaguars home.

Saints beat the Falcons. The Bengals beat the Browns. Buccaneers beat the Panthers. Packers beat the Bears. The Cowboys beat the Commanders. The Giants beat the Eagles. The Raiders beat the Broncos. Seahawks beat the Cardinals.

Rams beat the 49ers. We are on our way to the Super Bowl, ladies and gentlemen. Just want y'all to know that. Okay, we are on our way. How many times have you said that we're on our way to the Super Bowl? Since 1996 every year. But that's what it means to be loyal to the soil. You know what I mean? 1996 was our last Super Bowl.

Now, Draymond Green has officially been reinstated by the NBA after a 12-game suspension, so I'm sure you'll see Draymond this week. One of my favorite players in the NBA might quite possibly be my favorite player because a lot of the things that Draymond Green does on the court, you really can't quantify. Except not the things that show up in the stat sheets.

But everybody needs an enforcer, y'all. And he's the last enforcer. I was born in 1978. So I like Draymond Green style players. Okay? Include the Draymond Green. It's just that the NBA doesn't like Hill style players. Well, the NBA, yeah. Because the NBA, you know, turned into a different sport.

But I come from the era where I love the Charles Oakleys and the Anthony Masons and the Matt Barnes and the Stephen Jacksons, the Ron Artestas of the world. I like what Draymond Green does. Salute to Draymond Green. All right, well, let's jump right into it. Let's talk about the migrants in California. Yeah, let's go to CBS for the report. Also in the new year, California will become the first state to offer health insurance for all undocumented immigrants. Starting January 1st, residents without status, regardless of age, will qualify for Medi-Cal.

Currently, anyone up to age 25 and adults 50 and older can receive full benefits, while others can receive emergency services under eligibility requirements. Approximately 700,000 undocumented residents between ages of 26 and 49. So what does this mean exactly? It means exactly that they'll be getting undocumented immigrants who have an opportunity to get full health care. Now last year, now this is another part of people didn't know they always provided this for undocumented children since 2015. You heard the report also talk about those over 50.

They actually started the over 50 to allow them access on last year. And now it is going to be fully available to undocumented immigrants for everybody now. So they're committing four million dollars, four billion dollars. My apologies to this new Medi-Cal expansion in California. So this is California's the first state to do this this and we'll see if other states will follow are they doing i'm not surprised are they doing this for veterans in california as well does veterans get free health care and homeless people do they get free health care as well pretty much if you can qualify for the medical program if you uh have you know make a certain amount of income a lower amount of income

so this is just allowing those who uh who are poor if you will or make us only a certain amount of income, a lower amount of income. So this is just allowing those who are poor, if you will, or make only a certain amount to be able to now qualify for which anybody can in California for that matter to answer your question. That started January 1st of this year. All California residents who meet the income eligibility requirements regardless of their immigration status are eligible for full scope

Medi-Cal benefits. And the taxpayers pay for that correct that's correct four billion dollars all right now let's let's discuss these 215 bodies found behind a mississippi jail yeah now we've been covering this story and you guys remember this on front page news we had attorney uh benjamin crump on uh last year talking about this and so now uh there has been a total of at least 215 bodies that have been found behind the Mississippi jail. Let's listen to Isaiah Carey on Fox 26 for the report.

An unsettling situation in Mississippi, Jackson, Mississippi, to be exact. It's been revealed 215 bodies were buried in unmarked graves behind a state jail in Jackson. Of course, attorney Ben Crump is now calling for an investigation. Families of the dead reportedly had no idea until last month. Some of them, those grave sites were only labeled by a number and a metal rod. How the hell do they even? That's crazy. What was their reasoning for that?

Well, they said they could not contact, that the people did not have any known family. The families disagree. They said that they were not contacted at all. We covered the story up front, patient news again. And we talked about how folks even had identification on them and these families were still not contacted. So now they're looking for a federal investigation to see how this happened. And to be clear this is you know across the board as far as race is concerned you know i was looking at people responding this on

social media and so there are black people included white people included it's a multi-race thing um that's happening in mississippi and i just kind of want to point this out you know uh this was sent to me by several people and they were saying you know oh this must be the distraction and you know why we don't want people to pay attention is because, you know, everything else is happening on social media and I just want folks to know that this story

has been talked about. It's just been one of those things that only stay in the news cycle, unfortunately, for 24 hours and other stories. The reason they don't care about this story

is because there's no celebrity attached to it. That's right. I don't know when people are going to stop, you know, lying to themselves and just realize

that America is obsessed with celebrity and usually if there's no celebrity attached to something, people don't care. Like, they just don't. That's right. And usually if there's no celebrity attached to something, people don't care. Like they just don't. And then you need to stop lying to each other. You need to stop lying to ourselves.

You're exactly right. So they were like, oh, this must be the distraction. Let me just go ahead and say it. The Cat Williams story. Everybody said, oh, this is what they didn't want us to pay attention to. And they had us paying attention to Cat Williams. This story has actually been in the news several times. Who is they?

When they say these things. Well, you know who they are. Who is they when they say you know who they who is they no y'all niggas choose to give y'all attention to what y'all choose to give y'all attention to like it's really that simple and we like dysfunction we like mess yeah we do even though this is mess 250 bodies found behind a mississippi jail is mess like some people like celebrity mess if it ain't no celebrity attached to the mess, folks don't really care. Be honest with yourselves, people. Yeah, let's be honest about it. Like, no, they talked about it. You just, you don't talk about it outside of when y'all see it,

you know, for one day. This will never stay in the media for two weeks straight. It will never get 10 billion views, which again, shout out to, you know, again, people watch it, they want to watch, but I just, I hope and pray today that, you know, these type of stories will be important enough, you know, for folks to talk about ongoing. Because like you said, the stories are out there.

But, you know, it's up to us to amplify. You know what I mean? All of these things that we discuss when things go viral, they don't they don't just go viral. People amplify these stories. And that's what makes them go viral. So if you really care about these 215 bodies found behind a mississippi jail you'll amplify that story and you'll have conversations about it the way you have conversations about any other celebrity driven nonsense and shout out to the breakfast coach shout out again to you guys just want to publicly say that for allowing you know

front page news to be a part of this platform because this is important you know to cover these things even if it's you know for a few minutes so shout out to you guys again and you know what else says it's interesting right i bet you because you know, to cover these things, even if it's, you know, for a few minutes. So shout out to you guys again. And you know what else, Tez? It's interesting, right? I bet you, because, you know, the Internet loves conspiracy theories. I love a good conspiracy theory, too. But I bet you if they were to do autopsies on these bodies, I bet you there's folks missing organs and all types of stuff. But that's big business. A big business.

I guarantee you out of those 215 bodies, they did so much organ harvesting. That's what they need to look into. Do some autopsies on these bodies. I bet you they missing hearts and kidneys and livers and all types of stuff. Yeah, when we did the story previous before, one of the bodies got exhumed. They asked the mother to come, you know, be there for the body to get exhumed. And they did that when she wasn't there. You know, we covered that before as well.

They didn't even give her the respect to be there where they lifted her son's body out the grave. So it's just a lot going on in Mississippi. A lot, you know, across the board. And I hope we pay a little bit more attention to it. All right. Well, that is front page news. Thank you, Tess.

It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we're talking about New Year's resolutions. Do you guys still do them? Is that still a thing? I know every year, everybody used to do New Year's resolutions.

what's another new year's resolution that everybody always says i don't know i'm gonna lose weight i'm gonna stop smoking cigarettes like i was looking up the top 10 resolutions uh actually last week the first two top 10 resolutions are uh smoke uh stop smoking and losing weight okay yeah let me look and see what the top 10 resolutions for 2023 has to be drinking has to be traveling more oh damn i said 2023 it's 2024 what the hell am i talking about it has to be drinking traveling more as a new one i've said 2023. It's 2024. What the hell am I talking about? It has to be drinking, traveling more. There's a new one I've been seeing a lot. Improve fitness.

Drink less. Spend less time on social media. Yes. We need to disconnect from the worldwide nigger net. Lose weight. Give up smoking. Save money. Prioritize work-life balance.

Spend more time with family. Yes. Yeah. But those are all things, like you said, before COVID, we would all do that. But now, those are the things I try to do more. I try to spend more time with the family. Of course, I don't smoke cigarettes. I just think that's a nasty habit. I stay on social media a lot. I guess those are like you said, I guess those are things that I try to do daily to make sure that social media probably the biggest thing for me. Like, you know, and I don't be on social media that much. All I got is Instagram. I don't have the tactic.

I don't have Facebook. I don't have Twitter twitter i don't be on none of those platforms i have instagram a lot but not even just i don't want to say social media just the phone period right like disconnecting from the phone putting the goddamn phone down that's what i want to do more of in 2024 but i try to do that all the time now yeah and one thing i would say that i stopped doing a lot i stopped watching as much tv i don't watch that much tv anymore i watch the games of course i watch my sports but when anytime i'm about to watch a show me and the whites about to watch a show we pull out the monopoly board we play monopoly with the kids and we play taboo my kids love taboo they i mean they love taboo you know there's a uh i guess it's like a sexy taboo where they talk about like you know you got to like describe like testicles and

sexual parts and things i mean i didn't play that with the kids, but it was dope. Anyway. Why would the hell would you want to play that with the kids? I said, I didn't play that with the kids, but I said there's a version, an adult version, that you can play with other adults and other couples. Just learn how to talk to your kids about the birds and the bees. You don't got to play no damn taboo. It wasn't that.

It was a taboo version for adults. Anyway, let's go to the pros. You got to play Twister with Logan? That's nasty. What's wrong with you, man? What's wrong with you, man? Hello, who's this? What's going on, Envy? This is Rico from Jersey, man. Rico, what's your to the post. Twister with Logan? That's nasty. What's wrong with you, man? What's wrong with you, man? Hello, who's this? What's going on, Envy?

This is Rico from Jersey, man. Rico, what's your last name, Rico? What was that? What's your last name? My last name is Colon. Colon. Okay, I seen colon. Colon, okay.

Nah, man. Rico Colon. Don't worry about it. People always tell me if they want me to act like a ****, they better pronounce her A-D right. Okay, Rico. No, we don't come up with the hyphenated on the O, but I get that all the time. All right, Rico. Do you still do New Year's resolutions, Rico?

Absolutely, man. New Year's, new beginnings, new plans, new goals. Like, the newest goal is for my 49ers to, you know, go to the Super Bowl. Not what Charlamagne talking about. Yo. But, Rico, you can't do that yourself. Like, you can't have a New Year's resolution for your 49ers. It doesn't work like that, Rico.

Yeah, it doesn't because I'm not in the present, and I'm not in control of it. But I can be faithful to it, and I can pray on it, you know, and hopefully that things will come along. That's what real fans do. You think if you pray to God that your 49ers make it, you think God listens to you with your 49ers? With all the things going on in the world.

God is all about everything. You're right. He makes everything possible. But you know what? I just got to just be faithful to it. And hopefully that this time around, it can happen. Believe and you will achieve. That's in everything we do.

That's right. Okay. So Rico has a New Year's resolution for his 49ers to make the Super Bowl. Is that similar to your New Year's resolution with your Cowboys? No. I've been saying that the Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl for the past 25-plus years. Courtney! What's up, y'all?

How you feeling, Courtney? Where you calling from? I'm feeling good. I'm calling from Toledo, Ohio. Okay, Ohio. We're talking New Year's resolutions. You still making them? I'm not going to say I'm making New Year's resolutions.

I think it's ridiculous the way till January 1st to have self-discipline or self-motivation. It's a little bit ridiculous. We moved on to our vision board. I mean, I do think it's good that people make resolutions, especially if people are not healthy and they want to eat a little better or they're a little overweight and they want to go to the gym. I think you ought to stop lying to yourself. But people start good, though. No, they really don't.

I think it's ridiculous that you're waiting until January 1st. Why can't you do that December 12th? If you know you're overweight, you didn't become overweight overnight.

I'm absolutely with you. That's my whole thing. That's why I say I try to do the work on myself all the time. I don't wait till, you know, a new calendar year

to say, I'm going to do this and I'm going to do that. No. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Kim from Mississippi. Hey, Kim from Mississippi. We're talking New Year's resolutions.

Well, mine is to get a bag on, feel my self-esteem, and not be a fool for anybody. You said not be a fool for anybody? Yes, especially a man, because I was dealing with one for four years that's never taken me anywhere, giving me anything.

Okay. Well, what did you want from this man? Love wasn't enough? Well, he really didn't love me. He said I was his safe haven. And, you know, he lost his house. I let him stay with me for a year for rent-free. He didn't have to pay anything.

And he said until I... I'm not the typical type that he would go for. But I am his safe haven. And do you still speak to this man? I do, but... You just told me your New Year's resolution was not to speak to him, and you're speaking to him already.

No, it was not to be a fool for him, because I did a lot for him. Lord have mercy. I was out now for you. No, no, no, no, no, no. I need you to be honest with yourself right now. All right, okay. You let that man hit raw,

and that man blew in your bunkie, and you've been crazy ever since. Tell the truth. Jesus. We're here for four years. See? Okay. Okay, just be honest.

Don't call up here talking to me about no New Year's resolutions. That man D has been driving you crazy since 2000, what, 20? Yeah, 2020. Yeah, 2020. During the pandemic. You had that pandemic penis. You was sheltering in place with him, huh? Safe haven.

Safe haven. What they have us doing during COVID, I don't forgot. Quarantining. Quarantining. Quarantining. Well, I was working. He wasn't during that time, so. Oh, so he was.

Oh, you had D at home on command. He was cleaning up the house, probably cooking and giving it to you whenever you wanted. He said it was a safe haven. Yeah, for me, because I helped him. I mean, I was here for him. I helped him. I mean, I'm going without now because I just helped him get in a fight.

And you suffered. So he can get out of mine. So what do you need us to do, ma'am? What are you calling up here for? What are we supposed to tell you? I don't know. Somebody just pray for me. Y'all have any cash? I need a bag ball. Listen. I should be on my self-esteem.

Once you let somebody hit you, you can't un-F them. That's all. Look at you. She had a little feeling in her stomach just now just thinking about it. No, I didn't. Because he been offering to me since he left, and I've been declining. So I'm okay. All right. We'll see how long you're declining've been declining, so I'm okay. All right.

We'll see how long you're declining for. Hey, Valentine's Day right around the corner. And my birthday is January the 16th. Oh, man. You're going to want birthday sex. I'm not.

We got to talk Jonathan Majors. He's on Good Morning America today. They're going to play a clip of it this morning and the rest of it later on this evening. And we're going to get some of that on. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. We are back. I'll tell you one thing, man. It's one thing to be on vacation.

I was in the beautiful country of Zanzibar. I was there throughout the whole holidays. It's beautiful to be on vacation, man. It's one thing to be on vacation. I was in the beautiful country of Zanzibar. I was there throughout the whole holidays. It's beautiful to be on vacation, man. And I love vacation. But the worst thing about vacation is when vacation is over. You got to come back. Back to reality. And deal with the niggunette.

And deal with the worldwide niggunette. Can y'all make a New Year's resolution to disconnect from the worldwide niggunette in 2024? I think people should. I think for your own emotional and mental well-being, you should. net in 2024? I think people should. I think for your own emotional and mental well-being, you should. Okay? Yeah, I think people should.

Because we are. But what part is making you feel that way? I had to take my fish oil pills. No, I'm just saying, I just feel like we're in an era where truthfully, nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining.

Yeah, I mean. And this is going to be one of those years, especially being that it's a presidential election year you know what you got all this ai technology misinformation is already running rampant by the way it's not even that misinformation is running rampant sometimes the information is right there for people but they don't care about the facts of the situation they don't want to read they care about their feelings and not all their feelings are their feelings and people care about their feelings more than they do actual facts this year is going to be it's going to be hell to pay

for how we have conditioned people um over the last several years with the internet you know i was just i was talking about this over the break and i was like you know it's it's bad now but can you imagine 10 years from now i don't see it getting any better you're going to see it because when what people put on internet people believe it like i'm looking at at people's wikipedia pages that's just people just make things up and people actually believe well yours is true it says yours is a gardener i'm not a gardener but definitely you definitely started off as a guy i was not a gardener but no it's gonna it's gonna be really bad this year i'm trying to i can't be i can't be optimistic with y'all and tell y'all

everything is gonna be okay i have to let us know what it is that we're going to be facing we all have to be prepared for the the onslaught of misinformation that is going to happen in 2024 because it is a presidential election year and i really pray that something catastrophic doesn't happen because of social media like some orson welles war of the worlds type type madness if you if you don't know what orson well war of the worlds is do your googles don't it might come up wrong what do you mean you google somebody might come up wrong basically if i remember correctly orson welles was a fictional story about somebody who was doing a radio broadcast and he was telling people that we were being attacked by aliens which we just saw

last week we thought we were being attacked by aliens, which we just saw. Last week, we thought we were being attacked by aliens in Miami. They said that that was a shadow. But here's my thing. They said that that was a shadow. See, that's some more fake news. But when I saw the story, I'm like, in an era where people pull out their phones for every damn thing, there's 8-foot, 10-foot aliens walking around the mall in Miami,

and nobody pulled out a cell phone and recorded it? They said that was a shadow. Not one person. See, now, if somebody- But the fact that we even believe that, just in this area, you think all you're going to see is an overhead camera shot from a helicopter? Yes. Come on, man.

You know why? Because somebody like you posted it on your Instagram and said, are there aliens? So people be like, see, I knew there was aliens. That's not what I said. What I actually said. You want to read the caption? What did you say? See, I didn't read it.

I just seen the picture and I was lazy. You're not even practicing what you're preaching. You're right. You're just out here reading headlines. But I didn't believe you. Let me see the caption I wrote because I don't remember what I put. What did you put? I put, now y'all know not too many people on this third rock from the sun believe in

extraterrestrials like I do. My brain looks around at this planet and views all the diversity of life that exists here and says it is no way all these billions of galaxies don't have the same diversity of life. With that said, there is no way this story is true simply because y'all record every damn thing nowadays and not one person pulled out their smartphone, a 10-foot-tall alien walking around a mall in Florida, and nobody captured anything on their Apple products. Maybe they're trying to distract us from Cat Williams' Club Shae Shae conversation.

Or maybe Cat Williams' Club Shae Shae conversation is trying to distract us from the aliens. Or maybe the Cat Williams' Club Shae Shea interview had people in the mall so distracted that they were too busy watching clips that they forgot to record. See, that's what I said. I didn't have time to read all that. I seen the picture, and I seen Charlamagne said aliens are around, and that's what I believed. All right, well, when we come back. Y'all niggas deserve whatever y'all get in 2024 then.

We're talking Jonathan Majors when we come back. Your rumor reports next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne, the next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ NV, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jonathan Majors.

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. Alright, well Jonathan Majors sat down with Good Morningica and he talked about so many different things uh they played a clip of the interview this morning and they're going to play i guess the uh rest of it

later on this evening but he talks about why he did the interview since the guilty verdict why did you decide you wanted to talk now i felt like it was time. A lot has happened in my personal life, in my career, in the culture. It's about responsibility and coming forward and being brave and giving my part of the story. Your reaction to that verdict? Shock. I was absolutely shocked and afraid. I'm standing there and the verdict comes down. I say, how is that possible? Based off the evidence, based off the prosecution's evidence, let alone our evidence. How is that possible? You have to do a whole good morning america sit down for two misdemeanors it was two damn misdemeanors like they was running

the promos all weekend with the dramatic music and the tears and everything for two misdemeanors but even though it's two misdemeanors he lost a lot for these misdemeanors right man and here's the other thing i don't understand about negroes or just people in general i don't want to say negroes people in general why would he be talking in an interview but not talking the courtroom why wouldn't you take the stand to testify and defend yourself but but after the after you after the verdict you you want to do an interview well i'll tell you why because like he said he said the evidence showed that he probably didn't need to and he thought he didn't have to take this but my thing is why not take the stand i don't understand why we probably told him not to he probably thought he didn't have to. But my thing is, why not take the stand? I don't understand why we can't. As long as he probably told him not to.

He probably thought he didn't have to. That's ridiculous to me. We care way too much about the court of public opinion nowadays. And that makes no sense when you're in court with criminal charges. You should care about what's going on in the court of law, not the court of public opinion. He probably thought, like he said, that the evidence wasn't really against him. And he thought he was going to win. And he wouldn't have to talk.

And he didn't want to talk himself into it. Your hair looks stupid, too. I just want to throw that out there. Where does Cat Williams talk about your man unit now let's talk about that just distracted the hell out of me you look like one of them beatles off the first super mario brothers remember the first super mario brothers little black back to jonathan magis now he also talks about what actually happened she says inside the car you hit her in the face twist her arm behind her back fracture her middle finger. Yeah, that did not happen.

How did those injuries come about? I wish to God I knew. That would give clarity. That would give me some type of peace about it. But you're confident you didn't cause it? I have no question. Surveillance video shows Majors getting out of the car, followed by Jabari, whom he then puts back inside the vehicle. What happens next is what the defense remains focused on.

Majors runs off and Jabari chases after him. If you watch those videos and you reverse that and you saw a black man chasing a young white girl down the street. Come on now. Screaming and crying. Come on now. That man is going to be shot and killed. Come on now. In the streets of New York City.

Should have said that on the stand. Should have took the stand and said exactly that. I told you he thought he was going to win. He had the evidence. And I'm sure him and his attorneys and his law team, they thought they were going to win. They didn't think they had to take the stand. When the consequences are as severe, not as far as a jail time,

the consequences that he was facing weren't severe in that matter, but I'm talking about as far as his professional career. Correct. Take the stand. Now he also talks about, remember that one line where he said, be more like Michelle Obama? Well, he discusses that. The prosecution also played audio Jabari had recorded earlier in the relationship

where majors encouraged her to act more like Coretta Scott King and Michelle Obama. I'm a great man, a great man. I am doing great things, not just for me, but for my culture and for the world. That is actually the position I'm in. The woman that supports me needs to be a great woman. There are some who question, especially in the black community, as you're probably well aware,

that people were saying, why was he telling this woman to be like King and Michelle Obama? It was me trying to give an analogy of what it is I'm aspiring to be. These great men, Martin, President Obama,

and trying to give a reference point to that. One of the things I also say is I need her and I guess Grace to make the same sacrifices that I am making. What is this new laugh, man? Lassie was snorting, what's this new laugh? No, this is when he was just supposed to tell the truth and say, hey man, I just wanted a black laugh, man? Lassie was snorting. What's this new laugh? No, this is when he was just supposed to tell the truth and say, hey, man, I just wanted a black woman, man. The milk had expired.

The mayonnaise was spoiled. I needed a queen. I was tired of walking these red carpets. Black Twitter and the nigger that be on my head about being with this white woman. I can't be with this white woman at this stage in my life. I need a sister, okay? Dr. Umar be on my ass. Do you know who Dr. Umar is? He should have looked at her right on my ass. Do you know who Dr. Umar is? Do you know who Dr. Umar is, ma'am?

If you ain't never had Dr. Umar on your ass, you wouldn't understand I needed me a queen. Simple as that. Dr. Umar should have been representing him in court. I guarantee you Dr. Umar would have got him off. Y'all gave the wrong...

No, he wouldn't have. Dr. Umar don't practice law, but boy, if you can represent yourself, then you can have Dr. Umar represent you, damn it. Then he also talks about what he accepts responsibility for. Do you feel you're not responsible for her injuries at all? I shouldn't have been in the car. I shouldn't have stepped out of the relationship. I shouldn't have been in the relationship. If I'm not in the car, none of this is happening.

If I leave the relationship, none of this is happening. If I leave the relationship, none of this is happening. If I'm man enough or brave enough to say I wanna see somebody else or I'm done now, I'm not in that car. We're not here. That's real. I'm responsible for those things. But none of her injuries. I can't say that But none of her injuries. I can't say that.

None of her injuries. Proving my point. He wanted to be with a black woman. He wanted to be with who he's currently with now, who is the queen making good. And he just couldn't tell her that. But he should have let her know the milk had expired. Do a little sniff.

This milk ain't no good no more, man. All right. I got to move on. All right. Okay, I got to go. That. Do a little sniff. This milk ain't no good no more, man. All right. I got to move on. All right. Okay, I got to go. That's all he's saying. He should have just told the truth on Good Morning America. I wanted to be with a black woman.

I needed to be with a black woman at this stage in my life. Okay? All right. All right? Well, he's going to be sentenced on February 6th. His attorney feels like he will. I thought he already got sentenced. No, it's just February 6th.

Oh. And he said he is unlikely. I thought he already got sentenced. No, it's just February 6th. Oh. And he said he is unlikely he'll have to serve jail time. And that is your report. With two misdemeanors? I would hope not. Well, you never know. Boy, there's somebody out there riding in the car with their white wife right now. And they side-eyeing her.

They riding in the car with their white girlfriend right now. And they side-eyeing her right now. Right now as we speak all right damn don't let this mess up y'all happy interracial homes man okay all right well that is your rumor report now who you giving your donkey to man man we need the over ready to come pronounce nothing in three weeks all right we'll get to that next it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same. Your execution on the donkey of the day is something to behold. Is it a read?

He gave me donkey of the day and I deserve it. People need to know. Well, you need to tell them. I am. Because you have the voice. Tell them. It's time for donkey of the day. It's a read, but you're so good at it.

You're trying to be a fake ass Charlemagne. You're the only one Charlemagne is on. Damn Charlemagne, who you giving Donkey of the Day to now? Okay, Taylor. New Donkey of the Day intro for the new year. Drop on the clues bombs for my niece, Taylor. Somebody was working over the holidays. Donkey of the Day for Monday, January 8th goes to Diorbra Redden.

I think I'm pronouncing that name right. I've never seen that name before. It's like Deborah, but with an O in it and it's a guy you know diobra is 30 years old i'm assuming he's in las vegas because this happened in las vegas and he's a three-time felon and he was at his sentencing hearing last wednesday and the judge denied him probation he was being sentenced by judge mary k hothis in clark county district court after he was convicted of attempted battery with substantial bodily harm now the judge must have been fed up with him being a repeat repeat offender like i said he was a three-time felon because she said to him i think it's time he got a taste of

something else because i can't i just can't with that history no that's wild if you're a three-time felon and the judge tells you i think you need to get a taste of something else what is that other thing you want him to take you shut up man whatever didn't want to wait around or the over didn't want to wait around to hear what this judge had to say let's go to cbs8 news now for the report please off the top tonight it's the video everyone across our country is talking about a defendant attacking a judge right as she sentences him. That short video raising so many questions tonight and we have some answers. Our sources say the judge is doing okay. Her courtroom marshal has a serious gash on his forehead and that man who attacked her behind bars tonight and knew tonight what that man said moments before this attack. Based on my criminal history, I feel that I shouldn't be sent to prison for a second time.

Have you looked at your criminal history? I actually just, I looked at it. You lived it, I suppose. If it's appropriate for you, then you have to do what you have to do. And it appears that is what she was going to do. In fact, it would be a return for prison. Tonight, the 80s now investigators learning D'Obra Redden served a year in prison for domestic violence. It's one of several similar cases in his past, including when he bit a woman. And just last year, the same judge recovering from her injuries tonight,

sentenced Redden to probation for attempting to break into a home and shattering a door the over said i'm not going to taste nothing now to be fair it's quite possible the over was just trying to throw himself on the mercy of the court because when i first saw the video i thought it was fake i thought somebody threw like a dummy of a man at the judge that's how airborne this human deober was talking i'm i mean john morant i mean michael jordan in the 90s dr jay in the 80s i'm talking vince carter's dunk of death over that seven footer in the 2000 olympics this man deober was the reason that r kelly believed he could fly he must have drank several red bulls before senescent because he truly had wings now i don't know if the judge said to him please approach the bench because if she did you can't be upset at how people choose to approach

the bench his approach was to use a professional wrestling aerial technique i was born in 1978 so i know a descendant of jimmy superfly snooker when i see one and deobra is that and that is the other thing i want to talk about today. Wasted talent. Okay. With what we saw this man do, the speed, the agility, the ability to go airborne and still land on his target. Why isn't he a luchador? Huh? Why isn't he a performer at the Universe Soul Circus?

He could be doing the high flying trapeze. He could be doing hurdles in the Olympics. Pole vaulting. High jumping. Hell, he could be a stuntman on Hollywood movies. There's a million different things he could be doing with the skill set he showed us in this courtroom. Now, I don't know what the three-strike law is in Las Vegas. I don't know if there's a three-strike law that applies nationwide. But I really need to know how much time he was facing before he decided the suicide dive

on the judge and how much time the judge plans to give him now because here's the thing if the judge denies your probation and then you decide to dunk on the judge the way lebron james did paul george last night then you are proving to the judge that she made the right decision and now whatever number you was going to get is probably going to be replaced with a word. And that word is forever. OK, they are going to put this human under a prison because somewhere along the way, nobody put their arm around this man. He was only 30 years old. Nobody put this put their arm around this man and told him he had potential. This man just didn't develop an 82 inch vertical lead people.

All right. He had that. This man just didn't develop an 82 inch vertical lead people. He had that. I bet you at 4 years old he jumped straight up from the floor to the top bunk of a bunk bed and nobody said to him, hey you should do something with that. This young man should have been using that athleticism early when nobody was paying him any attention to see that he had all this athleticism and he went to a life of crime always remember every human life contains a potential if that potential is not fulfilled then that life was wasted please give uh deobra redden the sweet sounds of the day.

You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. So he already had, he did a year in prison before domestic violence. And he was saying that he should get more probation is what he wanted? Correct. Whatever the charges I'm hearing, it don't sound like he was going to go to jail for life no when you do things like what he did that's when you're going to jail for life correct when you know it's over after you just say yolo and just go out you know what i mean that don't sound

like a yolo effort situation he was gonna get some time but not the time he about to get now that's right that's the time he about to get now. That's right. Not the time he's about to get now. So, he's the only one that got donkey? Hmm. The bailiff didn't get donkey for stopping him? That's my point. The clerk? Couldn't stop him. The prosecutor? Nobody? That man is a force of nature. That's how I know he was

destined to be a world-class athlete. When John Morant goes airborne or when Giannis is coming down court, you can't stop them. You can only hope to contain them. He was on top of that judge for a coming down court, you can't stop them. You can only hope to contain them. He was on top of that judge for a minute, too. You can't stop them. You can only hope to contain them. You know who they used to say that about all the time?

Michael Jeffrey Jordan. You can't stop them. You can only hope to contain them. Are you trying to say that his skill level and Michael Jordan's skill level is close to each other? Hey. Hey. The athleticism is there. I ain't seen too many people with that type of athleticism In my life

Okay Alright Alright well Thank you for that donkey of the day Think about all the sports He had to do Running back Cause he had to break all the tackles

To get to the bench Then skydiving Right He had to jump over the edge To jump over the bench To get to the judge Then boxing This man went from a football player

To a high jumper To a boxer In a matter of seconds. That's good. We ain't never seen no athlete like that since Bo Jackson. Since Deion Sanders. Deion Sanders. What are we talking about here? Come on, man.

How old is he again? 30. Oh, no, he's 20. Come on, man. This man is a top five athlete of all time. Top five athlete of all time? Easily. Easily.

Bo Jackson's Deion Sanders? Easily. Easily. Tom Brady, Michael Jordan Jordan LeBron James Think about all the skill sets Football Football to break tackles Track to have the speed

High jumping And boxing He was Come on now So now he's Mike Tyson too And Floyd Mayweather Greatest This man is the top five greatest athlete

Alright Alright well Let's open up the phone now Let's ask a serious question Deion Sanders Michael Jordan DeArbor Redden Bo Jackson

Who's the fifth? Who would be the fifth? Those are my four top athletes of all time. Let's ask a serious question. 800-585-1051. Do kids even go to church anymore? How the hell we get to here? He's missing church.

This kid is missing church. Now, this is actually something that was trending yesterday. I seen Ply's post it yesterday. He was asking, do kids even go to church anymore? 800-585-1051. That is the question. Yeah, kids still go to church. You ain't seen them in Atlanta swag surfing? Yes, I did. You ain't seen them in Atlanta walking it out?

Kids still go to church. See, I think with church, it's, even with me and the family. There's a lot of different ways to attend church. I turn on TV now. Yeah, I was watching Sarah J. Roberts on YouTube. Well, actually, I was listening to the good sister Sarah J. Roberts this morning on YouTube, riding in the work. Her sermon from yesterday, Stanion Lane. Let's ask the question.

Do you bring your kids to church? But I ain't no kid. I'm 45 years old. But you have kids. Yes, I do. Do you bring them to church? Or do you watch on TV? On YouTube.

Sunday morning. We always at the Potter House on Sunday morning. Let's talk about it. But the Potter House in Dallas. Potter House in Dallas. Sunday morning, we at the Potter House. It's easy. On YouTube.

That's right. Absolutely. 800-585-1051. I'm Bishop T.D. Jakes, and I hate what y'all niggas did to Bishop T.D. Jakes over the holidays, but I digress. All right. We'll talk about it when we can see you ain't got a dress. You can wear your pajamas.

You can sit there and eat food. That's right. Watch it. That makes sense. Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club.

Tell her. Tell her. Maybe. if y'all talking about it you know we talking about it it's topic time call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj nv charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club if you're just joining us we're talking about Plies. Shout out to Plies. He posted something yesterday about do kids still go to church?

Do kids even go to church anymore? That is the question. And that's a good question because it's, you know, church has changed. It's not your typical form of church where you have to go get dressed and go to church anymore. Like my grandmother used to make me do every Sunday. Now things are a little different. Like for myself, have my younger kids been to church anymore like my grandmother used to make me do every sunday now things are a little different like for myself have my younger kids been to church not really in that type of form we watch it on television but we don't actually go to church we don't go to a physical church you know i mean we watch it on television i didn't go to church growing up i grew up jehovah witness so

we went to the kingdom hall on uh saturdays and sundays and maybe that's the reason i do not like going in to places of worship now i'm not saying that the kingdom hall wasn't great but see the on Saturdays and Sundays. And maybe that's the reason I do not like going into places of worship now. I'm not saying that the Kingdom Hall wasn't great, but see, the problem with the Kingdom Hall was they used to have

Thursday night book study or Bible study, which is what it was called. So that means I used to miss Cosby Show, Different World, Martin, Living Single, had to record all of those things.

So, you know, I've always felt a way about that. But, yeah, I mean, I'm very spiritual. So I tap into the Potter House every Sunday, and I'll put it on on Sunday mornings in the house and watch, you know, Bishop T.D. Jakes or Sarah J. Roberts or Torrey Roberts. I watch them preach every Sunday,

but I don't physically get up to go into a church on Sunday mornings or any place of worship. Yeah, Creflo Dallas is on heavy on Sunday morning too. Creflo Dallas? Yeah. What the hell is you talking about? You watch Creflo Dollar is on heavy on Sunday morning, too. Creflo Dollar? Yeah. What the hell was you talking about? You said you watch Creflo Dollar? He's on TV as well. I see him on the web

as well. I thought Creflo Dollar passed away. Let me check. Creflo Dollar not here, is he? No, man. No, I'm not tripping. Hold on, man. Creflo Dollar ain't die. No, I see him on season on every Sunday. I was like, maybe it's repeats. I know it's not them to repeat. Every Sunday morning, he's on. Who passed away? One of them passed away. Jesus Christ. I don't remember. I'm him on season on every Sunday. I was like, maybe it's repeats. I know it's not them to repeat. Every Sunday morning, he's on. Who passed away?

One of them passed away. Jesus Christ. I don't remember. I'm sorry, Creflo. I didn't mean to do that to you. You just killed off Creflo like that? One of them passed away. Creflo's on every Sunday.

I knew Creflo was on every Sunday morning. Every Sunday morning, I get up and I cook. Is Creflo Dahl or T.D. Jakeson? No disrespect to Creflo Dahl. I haven't heard that name in a long time. He's on every Sunday morning? Yeah, I haven't heard that name in a long time. And I think it's like Channel 4 or Channel 5 early in the morning, he's on. Yeah, I haven't heard that name in a long time. All's on every Sunday morning. Yeah, I haven't heard that name in a long time. And I think it's like Channel 4 or Channel 5 early in the morning.

Yeah, I haven't heard that name in a long time. All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. 800-585-1051. We have Ashley on the line. Ashley, good morning. Good morning. Hey, we're asking, do kids still go to church? Yes, my daughter is seven, and she's been going to church with my grandma for about a year, and she loves church.

Oh, you don't go with her, though? You don't take her? No, I drop her off. I get mine on YouTube. My grandma goes to, like, a real old church. Like, they still singing songs out the books. Yep. My daughter loves it.

I can't take it. You can't take it? Why can't you take it? What don't you like about it? I'm ready to go to sleep. It's a little too much for me. No, I'm with you. I need to be relatable. And if it's a Baptist too much for me. No, I'm with you. I need to be relatable.

And if it's a Baptist church, it's about three, four hours on a Sunday. Yes, and she's gone all day, so I love it. Toma, you said something just now that's very important. You said you want your church to be relatable because I saw everybody being highly upset over what the church in Atlanta was doing for New Year's Eve. Swag surfing. Swag surfing and walking it out.

And I love it. Yeah, I didn't have a problem with that either because the Bible says you got to meet people where they are, you know? And to me, if you're saying that

swag surfing and, you know, walking it out is wrong to do in the church, then that means that it's just wrong to do, period. We don't feel like that right now.

But they'll say something about that, but then they'll let their kids twerk on TikTok, though. Exactly. I'm with you. I'm. Exactly. I'm with you. I'm with it.

I'm with it. Marlena. Yes. Good morning. Good morning. Marlena, we're talking about do kids go to church. You take your kids to church? I do.

I try to get them to go to church. It's just hard for me because I used to live a wild life, and I actually found God in prison. So I've been out three years, and I'm trying to get them to go, get them to go and they're looking like, Ma, this ain't you. And I'm like, it is me now. So just by the way

that I've been behaving and acting and living, my daughter, she's with it. She's like, yeah, whatever you're doing, I want to do. My youngest, he's 16, so he's not really into it.

And my oldest is 30 and he ain't going hey well i'm gonna tell you something this is actually a great conversation for us to have because we all gonna have to get back to the basics and by the basics i mean you know getting closer to our creator because i think there's gonna be a lot of things that happen this year that we're not gonna have any answers for and the only thing that we're gonna be able to do is turn to a higher power so you know whether you're going to church Or the mosque Or the synagogue

Whatever it is You're going to have to find You know Some place to worship To get back closer to God Absolutely We got Dupree on the line Dupree

Man what's up with the DJ And the Charlamagne How y'all doing? How you feeling? Talking about church Yeah I'm good Do the youth go to church Dupree? Most definitely

We still take our kids to church Every Sunday Me and the kids go to church Sometimes I most definitely we still take our kids to church every sunday me and the kids go to church sometimes i'll be looking like a single father at church why why you be looking like your wife and your girl don't go man she don't want to show me want to go mad so i mean but for the most part it's about me and the kids and uh you know making sure they get god and they know god is first so i don don't think watching it on YouTube is really the answer. You know what I mean? I think they need to be interactive. But shout out to Potter House, like you said, y'all, because we're going to be down there

for the Leadership Summit with TD Bishop Jakes, March 21st through the 23rd. Make sure I get y'all tickets. Oh, absolutely. I love the Potter House, man. I call them the first family of faith, man. Bishop TD Jakes, Tore Roberts, you know, Sarah Jake Roberts. I get a lot of messaging from, you know, all three of them. I get a good word from all three of them.

Like the sermon that Sarah Jake Roberts did yesterday, stay in your lane. Woo! Listen to that to start your year off. 800-585-1051. This question comes from Plies. He was talking, do the youth go to church? Do the kids, do you still take your kids to church? That is the question.

Let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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 the guy we

are the breakfast club now if you're just joining us we're asking do the kids still go to church do you take your kids to church do you still go to church that is the question and we got g on the line g good morning hey good morning how y'all going how you feeling where you calling from i'm calling from marilyn okay marilyn now we're talking do you still take your kids to church okay i don't take my children to church anymore but that's in the last few years since uh covid had came we haven't gone back however i do know that kids are not going to church anymore and that lack of spiritual foundation has affected like morals ethics just even respect codes. I've been a high school English teacher for 22 years. They are not going to church and have no interest in it.

They have more interest. Their parents are really tired. That's what it is. Because, you know, the generation of parents before them did not teach them maybe money management. So they're working hard. And so we put iPads and iPhones right in front of our children. And our children and our children prefer tiktok they'd rather waste time yeah i will say this you know everything's in tradition

right and and my grandmother was in church every sunday rain sleet of snow it didn't matter and we didn't have an option you know we didn't have a choice she made us go and we had to go and we had to sit there that whole like i said it was baptist so we stayed there three four hours and once if they were baptizing people that day you were in church five six hours it was a long thing um and then when i got old enough like i just remember being in church for five six hours and i'm like i don't want to go for five six hours so i stopped going um and then it became easy when you could watch it on youtube oh by the way five or six hours is ridiculous that's that is another reason i love sarah j grover she keeps it short and to the point her sermon yesterday was about 72 minutes but i mean it's bad but the first

it's more than learning about religion for five or six hours it's about how to sit still for a long length of time how to give honor respectfully, how to greet your elders. You know, those are the things we forget we learn in church. Yeah, it's about fellowship. Yeah, I get it. Fellowship, exactly. Yeah, I get it. I totally get it.

Listen, I don't have no problem with the church. I love the church, you know. I'm just not getting up on Sunday morning to go. Also, but I'll tell you one thing. If I lived near the Potter House, if I lived in Dallas, I definitely would be in the Potter House every Sunday because I've been to the Potter House before. I've gone Dallas, I definitely would be in the Potter House every Sunday. Because I've been to the Potter House before. I've gone there.

And, you know, when you feel that energy, when you feel that fellowship, man, there is nothing like it. I've never experienced anything like that, you know, in a place of worship. So if I lived near the Potter House, I'd be in the Potter House every Sunday. Yeah, the only problem is taking six kids to church, getting them dressed and everything. And, oh, man, that's a long time. See, back then, my grandmother would just pop me, and I would just shut up. I mean, it's a good Sunday morning thing to do, you know, a good Sunday morning routine. I guess that's the other thing, too.

Like, you have to have, you know, pastors and churches that make you feel like I have to be here on Sunday morning. Like, you know, I personally haven't felt anything like that in New Jersey to make me want to, you know, go to church every Sunday. There's a place we used to go back in the day, though I can't remember where it was. Me and Alicia Renee and Roxy Diaz, when we all lived together

in Prospect Towers back in like 2010, we used to go to this one church that was pretty dope in Jersey. I can't remember the name of it, though. Let me text Alicia Roxy and ask them. Yeah, I didn't see. Our church was in Brooklyn, so that's an hour drive. That's a lot. I can't remember the name of it, though. Let me text Alicia Roxy and ask them. Yeah, I didn't see. Our church was in Brooklyn, so that's an hour drive. That's a lot.

All right, let's go to one more caller. Hello, who's this? This is Kiara. Hey, Kiara. Good morning. Where are you calling from? San Antonio, Texas. Texas, okay.

We're talking about church. Do you still take the kids to church? Absolutely. Every Sunday. My kids are at church every Sunday. I think the better question is, do the parents go to church? Because if the parents go to church, then the kids go to church. That's real.

And they don't have an option, right? Like, who gives the option for their kids? Like, hey, do you want to go to church this morning? Get up. We're going to church. You're right. Hey, stop shaming us, man. Yeah, there was no option.

It was like, get your ass up, put your clothes on on and be downstairs in 20 minutes no she just shamed us because she right you damn right the kids the kids don't go to church because we don't go to church right you're right you're absolutely right and sometime on wednesday we're going to church it's not an option i'm with you once again I promise you I would go to church every Sunday at the Potter House if I live near the Potter House. I love what Bishop T.D. Jakes does. I love what Sarah J. Roberts does. I love what Tori Roberts does. I would

be at the Potter House every Sunday. But Kiara... Charlie, you'll find a church home close to your... Oh, your phone going in and out. All I heard you say was, Charlamagne, you'll find... She said you could find a... No, she didn't say you were fine. No, she did. She said you could find it. No, she didn't say you were fine. No, she said you could find a church near where you live. That's what she said.

Oh, I know. I've done that. I've gone to churches around the area. They don't captivate me like that. Okay. But, Kiara. Okay, then you have to go where you're comfortable. I get that. Yep.

Kiara, Victor Wimbledon is playing on Sunday. What? So, it's either church or the Spurs. It's church. Okay. All right. Well, thank you, Mama. All right well thank you all right thank you mama what's the moral of the story um the moral of the story is man everybody needs to find some place to worship you know i'm saying because uh this is i'm telling you this year right here is going to be a year like we've never ever ever experienced and there's going to be so

many things that are going to be out of the realm of our understanding and all we're going to know how to do is get back to the basics and submit our will to our creator so you know god will meet you where you are in order to take you where he wants you to go and we're going to need our creator this year trust me when i tell you all right well when we come back we got more rumors we got to talk about uh charlamagne's family member we got to say congratulations to her and also also, we got more Jonathan Majors. Was he suicidal during this whole time? Well, he speaks some more on Good Morning America.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. All of this for two misdemeanors and a white woman. The Breakfast Club. You know what I noticed, man? We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. We're back live. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What did you notice? I knew this for 14 years. This is our 14th year. Yeah.

It's 2024. Yes. All last year, we were rotating guest hosts for a whole year. Correct. And I thought we was going to come to a decision. I thought we was going to come to a conclusion about who the new guest host was. I thought we was starting 2024 with the third throwing field. I thought so, too.

Oh. Okay. What happened? Never mind then. I don't know. Do we ever know anything? No. I don't know.

I don't know. We'll see. Let's go to the room report. Let's go to the room report. Room, I has it. Room, I has it. Call out a name or you gossiping or you chatty patting. We'll see. Let's go to the rumor report. Let's go to the rumor report. Rumor hazard. Rumor hazard. 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. All right. Back to Jonathan Majors. All right. But wait, it gets worse.

All right. Jonathan Majors. This is his first interview with Good Morning America. We played parts of it uh in the last room but there is more all right now he talks about uh if he was suicidal during uh all of this that was going on and him losing everything that he he's lost were you suicidal the ideations of removing myself from situations permanently is a thought that I've had since I was a kid. Since I was a young boy on the farm in Texas, it's not there anymore.

I'm doing the work to keep it at bay and make sure it's not there anymore. All this for two misdemeanors and a white woman. I mean, I can understand why, you know, I guess he would feel that way because you work so hard to get into a certain position and then, you know, right when it seems like things are about to take off, situations like this happen, but what I would tell that brother is, man, you still got your life.

That's right. You know, and it's clearly it's not going to be the end for Jonathan Majors. Right. You know, I don't think so anyway. Heidi also talks about his relationship with Megan Good. Through it all, Majors' new girlfriend, actress Megan Good, has remained by his side, even present for our interview.

How would you describe your relationship? She's an angel. She's held me down like a caretta. You know? I'm so blessed to have her. You know? The relationship is

still fresh, but, you know, I think I found her. What is Jonathan Major's obsession with Coretta Sky King, man? Jonathan, you gotta stop. We gotta stop this.

We gotta stop doing this because you know what happens when you do stuff like this? You put people's expectations way, way, way, way, way too high. Like, we're not looking for Megan Good to be Coretta Scott King. They're not married.

And you're not Martin. They don't have family. They just started dating two months ago. Y'all are in Hollywood. Y'all act. Like, we got to stop acting like what we do is so important. Like, you're just in the entertainment business. What you do, Jonathan Majors, and what Megan Good does provides people

entertainment. What Coretta Scott King and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did actually changed the world. Well, he also talks about getting a second chance in Hollywood. You think you'll ever work in Hollywood again? Yeah, I do. I pray I do, but it's God's plan and God's timing. For those who say, look, he's convicted at this point, what would you say? I mean, do you deserve a second chance? I think I do. I hope other people think that. That's an odd question. Why doesn't that brother deserve a second chance?

He does. He had two misdemeanors. You know, like he got caught up in a bad situation. Why wouldn't he deserve a second chance? What kind of question is that? He does wouldn't he deserve a second chance? What kind of question is that? He does. Does he deserve a second chance? Yes.

How many second chances have these white actors gotten when they effed up and done way worse things than Jonathan Majors did? There's actors in the Marvel Universe right now. The Jeremy Renners of the world. They messed up. They got other opportunities. Why wouldn't that man deserve a second chance? He definitely does.

Jesus Christ. The only thing I need him to stop doing is referring to Coretta Scott King for every damn thing. You want the white woman to be like Coretta Scott King? You say you're making good as your Coretta? Like, cut it out. Like, stop doing that. That is what we need Jonathan Mays to stop doing immediately. Okay?

All right. Jesus Christ. Bernice King, somebody. Somebody need to send out a tweet. Jonathan, stop referencing my damn mama in regards to your love life. Oh, my God. Okay? All right my damn mama in regards to your love life. Okay? All right.

Please. And we got to say congratulations. Hey, imagine the picture him and Megan Good are going to take on Martin Luther King's birthday next week. Real shout out. It's going to be in black and white. It's going to be black and white. You know he got the outfit. You know he got the clothes. He got it laid out on the bed.

Him and Megan Good got their outfits laid out on the bed ready to do a photo shoot for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I guarantee you the pictures they put out on Martin Luther King Jr. Day are going to be hilarious. That's next week, right? Next week. Next Monday. All right, watch. Hey, instead of Martin Luther King Jr. on your party flyers this year, promoters, put Jonathan Majors. Put Jonathan Majors in black and white.

Okay, for all your Martin Luther King Jr. parties, I don't want to see Martin on none of your flyers. Put Jonathan Majors in black and white. Okay, for all your Martin Luther King Jr. parties, I don't want to see Martin on none of your flyers. Put Jonathan Majors in black and white, please. All right. Okay? All right, and lastly, we got to congratulate Charlemagne. He's a brand new uncle. That's right.

What the hell are you talking about? Yep, your cousin Halle Bailey and DDG just confirmed that they had a son. So congratulations to Halle Bailey. Drop a bomb for her. Congrats to DDG and Halle Bailey. Drop a bomb for her. Congrats to DDG and Halle Bailey. I mean, what I said? Halle Bailey.

Yeah. Halle Bailey. Congrats. Yeah, she wrote, even though we're a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me was bring me my son. Welcome to the world, my Halo.

The world is desperate to know you. So congratulations. And DDG talks about Hallaley being a great mom. Me and Haley had a baby together. I wouldn't have chose no other person in the world to have a child with. We learning. She's a great mom. She's amazing.

Being a new dad is just, it's been a great experience. It's been very, very fun. Another thing, i seen him come out i was honestly scared because i was like man i'm probably not gonna see this again so i went down there and i looked it was the craziest i ever seen in my life bro i have a newfound respect for women i don't plan on showing his face or you know she don't plan on showing his face this is too priceless he's great-looking he's a beautiful baby and healthy baby thank the Lord Jesus Christ that's all that's all that really matters yeah I don't think y'all understand how much every time I hear about a black woman having

a baby and the baby is healthy and the woman is healthy how much I rejoice because you know the maternal mortality rate among black women is severely high. I think it's like nearly 70 deaths for every hundred thousand live births. So it's like two point six times or three times the rate of white women, you know, regardless of income or education. So whenever I hear about a black woman having a healthy baby, having a healthy birth, I am ecstatic. That's right. So salute to Holly Bailey and DDG. Congratulations. All right. And that is your rumor report. report all right now let's get to the mix we'll see in a sec it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same morning everybody it's dj envy charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club all right we're back
