Starting point is 00:03:18 I don't know why we ever thought to ourselves that sleep is the cousin of death. You know, you sleep when you die. All that stupid stuff we used to tell each other when we was young. I'll tell you one thing, if you don't get no sleep, you're going to die. Sleep is the best. I was watching a movie yesterday

Starting point is 00:03:55 you know I love watching a scary movie I just said Regina Hall it's a horror movie but it's on a school campus mm-hmm and so it's a university
Starting point is 00:04:03 and there's all kinds of weird things happening. I don't want to give away too much. But in this one dorm room where the young girl is staying, somebody has died there, I think a couple of times, hanging themselves at the exact same time
Starting point is 00:04:18 every time. So you get to watch as all kinds of weird things are happening. And she's a young black girl on campus and there's all kinds of weird things happening. But it's always like a black girl on campus, and there's all kinds of weird things happening, but it's always like a black girl that it happens to. So Missy Martin's not in it? No, she's not.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Regina Hall is starring in it. Interesting. Mm-hmm. Okay. It's like racism in a PWI, and so it's a horror movie kind of about that. All right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Still didn't make me excited to go see it, but I rock with you. I mean, it's on TV. I support Regina Hall. I think she's a great actor, so I like to watch whatever that she's in. And then it's a horror movie,
Starting point is 00:04:52 and you know I love horror movies. And then it's on a college campus, so. Yeah, all of you be saying is don't add movie reviews to Way Up with Angela Lee starting in January. That's all he's saying. Well, I don't want to give away
Starting point is 00:05:02 it's a horror movie. I can't tell you too much that happens, but it's pretty scary. So if you're in college in a dorm room and then she's a black girl, there's racism there. It's a PWI. That's already scary. And then, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:16 weird things happening. Okay. Make you scared to go to sleep. Alright. Well, let's get to the show then. Alright there. Alright. New York Governor Kathy Hochul will be joining us this morning. The governor of New York City, Kathy Hochul. She's running for... New York State.
Starting point is 00:05:30 New York State. Yeah, I don't even want to say... Oh, yeah, New York State. I don't even want to say re-election because, I mean, she didn't get elected the first time, but she is governor because of the whole situation that happened to Governor Christie. Governor Cuomo. What did I say? Christie.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Oh, Governor Cuomo. Yes. You all over the place. Governor Cuomo. What did I say? Christie. Oh, Governor Cuomo. Yes. You all over the place. So, yes, she's running for election. Yes, she would be the first ever elected woman to be governor of New York State. But she's running against Lee Zeldin. And the race is a lot tighter than people would have anticipated. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:02 And, you know, Lee Zeldin came to the Breakfast Club in August. That was an interesting conversation. Mm-hmm. He judged, did he judge you at Jerk Chicken? Yeah, the Jerk Chicken party. He didn't judge it,
Starting point is 00:06:12 he just was there. He was at Jerk Fest. He said he was a judge. I thought he said he was a judge, yeah. I don't think he was, no, his daughter was a judge.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Oh. Oh. All right. All kinds of misinformation today. Yeah, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what we talking about? Well, let's talk about, cracking. Front page news is what we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Well, let's talk about, I know y'all want to talk about this, the Powerball, if you played, the jackpot is still growing, okay? Okay, we'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.
Starting point is 00:06:43 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. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up Be part of a great colonial tradition. What could go wrong? I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
Starting point is 00:07:27 And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
Starting point is 00:08:45 but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there, my little creeps. It's your favorite ghost host, Teresa. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:09:41 Haunting is back, dropping just in time for spooky season. Now I know you've probably been wandering the mortal plane, wondering when I'd be back to fill your ears with deliciously unsettling stories. Well, wonder no more, because we've got a ghoulishly good lineup ready for you. Let's just say things get a bit extra. We're talking spirits, demons, and the kind of supernatural chaos that'll make your spooky season complete. You know how much I love this time of year. It's the one time I'm actually on trend. So grab your pumpkin spice, dust off that Ouija board, just don't call me unless it's
Starting point is 00:10:16 urgent, and tune in for new episodes every week. Remember, the veils are thin, the stories are spooky, and your favorite ghost host is back and badder than ever. Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, y'all? This is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages.
Starting point is 00:10:51 One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all. Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now World Series.
Starting point is 00:12:16 The series is tied. Astros beat the Phillies last night 5-0, no hitter. And Thursday night football. The Eagles take on the Texans at 8-15 tonight. Time for the Eagles to lose. I'm with you. Yeah, time for the Eagles to lose. I don't know if it'll be tonight, but it's time for the Eagles to lose.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I'm with you. What else we got, Yeezy? All right. Well, there's no Powerball winner, so that jackpot is now $1.5 billion. Yikes. All right. That is closing in on the biggest prize ever won, which was $1.586 billion. That was won by three different people, by people in three different states in 2016.
Starting point is 00:12:53 So you have until Saturday. The next drawing is on Saturday, guys. That's a nice backdrop to the holiday season. You know, just the fact that there's a $1.2 billion Powerball twice a, you know, twice a week gives some people something to really be excited about, I guess. It's 1.5 now. 1.5? Yeah. Eek.
Starting point is 00:13:11 The other thing I like about that is when you're driving and you see the Powerball sign, I didn't know the Powerball sign could get to them kind of numbers. You know, you'd be looking like, let me see how they're going to do this $1.5 billion on the sign. All right. Now, let's talk about Joe Biden. You know, elections are on Tuesday, November 8th. The midterms are fast approaching us. That's why wherever you are, you see ads on the television wondering who you should vote for, people attacking each other and all the other
Starting point is 00:13:35 candidates. Well, Joe Biden is speaking out now about why it's so important to vote as democracy is under attack. And here's what he had to say. There are candidates running for every level of office in America, for governor, Congress, attorney general, secretary of state, that will not commit to accepting the results of elections that they're running in. This is a path to chaos in America. It's unprecedented and it's un-American. I've said before, can't love your country only when you win. I hope you'll ask a simple question of each candidate you might vote for. Will that person accept the legitimate will
Starting point is 00:14:12 of the American people, of the people voting in his district or her district? Will that person accept the outcome of the election, win or lose? And the answer to that question hangs the future of the country we love so much and the fate of the democracy that has made so much possible for us. My problem is, man, we know democracy is under attack and we are on the fast track to fascism. In fact, we're actually watching it happen in slow motion, but Democrats don't act like it. There is no sense of urgency, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:40 coming from the other side. Like, they still act like, you know, they can deal with the other side rationally. As if those people aren't a bunch of white supremacists and fascists. That's the problem I have. There's no sense of urgency coming from the Democratic Party. All right. And I always tell people when you do go and vote, just make sure you know who you're voting for. I know who's on the ballots. I always ahead time, you can do like a practice ballot online, and that way you can see who's running so you can do a little research
Starting point is 00:15:07 so you're not just blindly voting for whoever. All right? So make sure you do that before you go and vote. But do make sure you do a vote. That's really important. All right. Now, CVS and Walgreens have agreed to settle for billions over opioid epidemic. All right? So they have
Starting point is 00:15:25 announced nationwide settlements and Walmart is expected to do the same as well. So in a statement that was shared on Wednesday, CVS Health announced it had reached an agreement in principle under which it will pay an estimated $5 billion over a 10 year period. That'll start next year. This payment they said would fully resolve any related claims And Walgreens also shared on Wednesday they have agreed to settle those claims by way of a $4.95 billion settlement to be issued over a 15-year period settlement.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Alright, and that is your Front Page News. Alright. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. Get it off to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Starting point is 00:16:26 Hello, who's this? Good morning, this is Tasha. Good morning, Charlamagne. Peace, Tasha. How you doing, queen? First of all, pedestrians got the right away. They do not have the right to be jerks or disrespectful in the street. I have a car, this $4,000 pound car. I mean, 4,000 pound car, it can hurt you.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Turn whatever the weight is. Y'all don't have the right to be jerks in the street. That's one. Two, the people. People that are not from Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, being disrespectful to people in Brooklyn. I'm talking about the people in 7-Eleven. I'm talking about the people that work at Checkers. I'm talking about people that
Starting point is 00:17:05 are not Black Americans or any Americans. They are not from America and they over here being disrespectful and racist in Brooklyn. I am tired. What happened? So I went to Checkers. I work for these
Starting point is 00:17:21 delivery apps and I have insomnia so I'm up 4, 3, 4 o'clock in the morning going to these stores and picking up orders and picking up the people because they hungry. And I'm doing this with a smile, and I'm happy about it because I'm making a dollar. However, when I get there and people close and they act like they don't want to come to the door and tell me something because I'm asking a question, they looking at me like I'm dirty. I'm from Brooklyn. You're not from Brooklyn. You dirty. I'm a thoroughbred. Come to this door. I'll be here when the damn store open. I want to talk to a manager.
Starting point is 00:17:52 I want to call a franchise owner. I want to talk to somebody that's not working in this store. Okay. She definitely got it off her chest today. Alright. And so what, you do delivery, food deliveries? From the apps? Yes. I Grubhub, I Uber, I DoorDash, I do delivery, food deliveries from the apps? Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:09 I drop off, I Uber, I do it at, I'm roadie, I Instacart. I do it all because I don't like to be doing nothing. And you from Brooklyn and we hustle. Let them know. All right. Thank you, mama. We hustle. I'm a thoroughbred and we hustle all day, everything.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Do and die. Okay. All right. That is what giving up your chest is for, people. Yeah, come on. That's Vinting at his finest. I'm calling from Saginaw, Michigan, 989. What's up, brother? Get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:18:31 What's happening, man? I've been listening to y'all a long, long time. And today I took the advantage of listening to Angelique. Angelique, I love you guys. But what, Angelique, I love you guys. But why do you take every opportunity to correct somebody when they're wrong? What, to say who's running for governor and that it's the state and not the city? Yeah, not just that.
Starting point is 00:18:49 I mean, we want to make sure the information's right. Well, it wasn't who was running for governor. It was who she replaced. You can be wrong sometimes too, Angela. You knock it off, baby. I love you. I didn't say I was wrong, but you would rather me not say if something's incorrect? Every day you take the time out to find somebody wrong?
Starting point is 00:19:06 Come on, Angela. Alright, I won't say if anything's wrong anymore. That's what you want? No, I just want you to look at yourself sometimes. Quit correcting people all the time. That's a weird critique. I think you should correct people, especially when we're on air and we're giving out misinformation. I think we all should do that to each other.
Starting point is 00:19:24 That's just a logical thing to do, I would think, in 2022. I would think so. Okay, I mean. We're on air broadcasting. If I say something wrong or Angelina says something wrong or anybody says something wrong, we should correct each other. I corrected myself earlier. I mistakenly said Marseille Martin, and I said, oh, no, I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:42 It wasn't her. I just, if something's wrong, I can't help it. Then people will tell you when you're wrong too on Twitter. Well, get it off your chest. That was wrong. You said that wrong. 585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club So if you got something on your mind, lay it out Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Coach Davis, good morning Envy, Charlamagne, and Angela Yee, how y'all doing?
Starting point is 00:20:16 What up, Coach? Get it off your chest Alright, I'm good, I'm good Hey, listen, I was, you know, I was hearing y'all talk about that powerball, man. 1.5 billion. I got a question, right? Supposedly, the lottery is supposed to go to the schools and the betterment of schools and things of that nature. You know, given I'm a coach, I work in an educational field. Where the hell is that money going?
Starting point is 00:20:41 Like, really? I agree. If they're able to give $1.5 billion away, how much did they actually collect? I agree. If they're able to give their amount of money away, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:20:56 If they gave $1.5 billion away for a prize, they had to collect at least five to ten times that. What is that money at? A large amount goes to taxes, which I would assume is supposed... Which I would assume is that's what's supposed to go to the schools. But, yeah, the schools ain't getting no better, at least not the schools in the hoods.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Absolutely. There should be a study on that. How much money? I believe there is a study on that. Yeah, they said about a third is paid out, and then the rest is supposed to go for other things, in particular, often to education. And we don't see it. I get what the brother's saying. We don't see it in the schools that actually need it.
Starting point is 00:21:34 That actually need it. And come on, man. I got a brother who's a principal in Mississippi. I know he not seeing that type of money. Are you serious? Come on, man. This is ridiculous. I'll tell you what.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Another thing I've been thinking about, too, is the people that be winning these big jackpots, they don't never show off on social media. Like, not even a little bit. No, no, no, no. No, no. Show me. I got one better. Now, listen.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Call me conspiracy theorist. I don't care. But when these Powerballs be kicking up to a billion, they say that there are some states that you don't have to identify who you are. Yeah, you can remain anonymous. And it seems like every time there is a winner, it's in these states that they don't have to identify. So do we know if these people are really getting that money or if it's all this money just going somewhere else. We do see some of those stories, though, in those documentaries about some people who win the lottery
Starting point is 00:22:27 and then they end up having all kinds of bad things happen. It's like a, what do they say? It's like a curse? Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Well, curse me, damn it. Come on. I'm blessed by the highly saved, so come at me, devil. I need that. It's only 11 states that remain anonymous.
Starting point is 00:22:45 And South Carolina is definitely one of them. I've been playing the Powerball for so long, I know that. And New Jersey. South Carolina and New Jersey are definitely two states you can remain anonymous. You could set up like a trust also or something, right? I know Jersey was. Yeah, you could definitely set up a trust. Yeah, Jersey is.
Starting point is 00:23:00 South Carolina is. Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Kansas, Maryland, Ohio, North Dakota, Texas, and Virginia. You can remain anonymous if you wouldn't know. Powerball. Okay. All right. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:23:14 We got rumors on the way? Yes. As we are getting ready for the Drake and 21 Savage album to drop tomorrow, we'll tell you some of the things that they're doing to promote. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:23:30 With Angela Nguyen. On The Breakfast Club. Well, as you know, Drake and 21 Savage have their joint album, Her Loss, coming out tomorrow. And so, as promotions, they've been doing a bunch of different things, like they did a fake sit-down with Howard Stern. It was promoted as an interview. Drake tweeted out, absolutely no
Starting point is 00:23:53 filter with the incomparable at Stern Show. Thanks for having us. And here's some of the questions about things like Drake's favorite porn. What type of porn are you watching? Wow. Holy shit. Highest tier of t*** givers.
Starting point is 00:24:08 That's really what I'm I see. Consistently like on a daily basis tuned into like Right. Just really like those are like the real
Starting point is 00:24:16 superstars of the world to me. Yeah. All right. In addition to that there was you know Drake and 21 Savage talking about being the best rappers in their country. Do you feel any affiliation with the country that you were born in? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like it kind of like like I relate to a lot of cultures because of that.
Starting point is 00:24:38 I was born in London, but then all my family migrated from the West Indies. So it's like I'm down to like gumbo when it comes to culture for real. I feel like that's crazy. I mean, you know my answer, obviously. I mean, that place is everything to me. Bro, I might be the greatest rapper from my country too though. Yo, you know a lot of people say that, right? You know a lot of people are like, yo, you're like the pride of London.
Starting point is 00:25:02 That's why like that London, that O2 night, that has to happen. That's going to be something different. That's like some real homecoming shit. I'm excited for that. I'm glad you said that interview was fake, though, because I was wondering if that was a full interview. Because I'm here for a full interview with Howard Stern and Drake and 21 Savage. I'm tuned into that.
Starting point is 00:25:22 You're tuned into that? I thought it was real. I just thought it was real. All right. In addition to that, 21 Savage talks about his love of reading, and he reads everywhere, apparently. Didn't you guys start a nerdy book club or something? Yeah, I love books. Savage loves to read.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Really? He's an avid reader. We'll be in the strip club, backstage at the show, in his hood, on his block, and he'll just pull a book out. Charlotte's Web. Backstage at the show. Right. Like, in his hood, like, on his block and shit. He'll just pull a book out, like. Yeah. Charlotte's Web. He loves Charlotte's Web, man. Really?
Starting point is 00:25:50 Potter, too. I love him. Sorcerer's Stone. All the fucking Sorcerer's Stone, for real. Nah, you talking about shit. They also have a fake. Who makes this interview fake? Because all of this sounds real to me.

I've taken Bibles into the strip club, and I love Charlotte's Web loves Charlotte's Web and that he's always reading in the strip club? I think he reads it in the strip club. I've taken Bibles into the strip club, and I love Charlotte's Web. Charlotte's Web is a phenomenal read. But you didn't read the Bible in the strip club. No, but I took it in there. I mean, I already read the Bible. Well, he's saying he's reading.
Starting point is 00:26:15 And then in addition to that, they did a fake tiny desk tease for a parent concert that they were going to, you know, the tiny desk shows that they have. So they posted this. What's up, everybody? Appreciate you joining us today. All the audience, everybody at home. My name is Drake. 217. And this is our tiny desk.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Let's get it. Yeah, let's get into it. Now, NPR Music tweeted out, let's do it for real, though, because it's not a real one. They did a fake tease for a Tiny Desk concert So are they making fun of everybody That's mainstream in their promo runs Because I saw the fake Vogue cover The fake Howard Stern interview
Starting point is 00:26:54 The fake Tiny Desk And the crazy part is These are all things I actually want to see The only thing I was mad about with the Vogue cover I'm like yo 21 why you covering your face on the front of Vogue But you know it was fake so Why why you covering your face on the front of Vogue? But, you know, it was fake, so whatever. Why did you bring a Bible to the strip club?
Starting point is 00:27:10 I was going through a phase, and I just wanted people to be better. That's all. You were trying to save people in the strip club? Walking around the strip club with the Bible. That was on Worldstar back in the day. That was a long time ago. That was like 14 years ago. That's weird. Maybe longer, 15 years ago.
Starting point is 00:27:26 They also released a cover for their joint album, too. So, you know, again, that's called Her Loss. Is the cover real? I believe that's real, yes. Because I saw it. It's got some woman's face on the front. Is it real? I don't know if that's real.
Starting point is 00:27:39 All right. Well, they thanked Vogue magazine for the fake cover. They said, me and my brother are on newsstands tomorrow. Thanks Vogue magazine and Anna Wintour for the love and support on this historic moment. Her loss November 4th. I wonder if they did that just to piss off Kanye. Because Anna Wintour just stopped talking to Kanye. Or Vogue cut him off.
Starting point is 00:27:58 I mean, I'm pretty sure that they really had a whole rollout plan. And Vogue is the epitome. You never know. And then they have the Howard Stern. and Vogue is the epitome. You never know. And then they have the Howard Stern, and then they have the Tiny Desk. They did a whole concert together. And include the 21 Savage, too. It makes sense that 21 Savage loves Knives so much, you know, because, you know, born in London, because, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:18 that knife is that thing out there. All right, in addition to that, since you brought up Kanye, there are six people who have worked with Ye or witnessed him in professional settings over the past five years. And they've said they've heard him praise Hitler or mentioned conspiracy theories about Jewish people. And he actually paid a settlement to a former employee who worked with Ye off and on from 2014 to 2018 said he recalled multiple times when Kanye spoke positively about Hitler and the Nazis or mentioned anti-Jewish conspiracies during meetings in the summer and fall of 2018 he's Jewish and he said he pushed back against Ye's comments at the time but thought they didn't seem that dangerous
Starting point is 00:29:01 he said after this most recent wave of statements, he thinks that things are different. And he said it's dangerous and disgusting and actually violent. And in the settlement that was reviewed by NBC News, Ye paid a former employee who alleged having witnessed more than one incident in which he praised Hitler or Nazis in business meetings. Now, Ye did deny the claims made by that former employee in the agreement, though. All right. And representatives for ye have not commented
Starting point is 00:29:26 on these stories yet now speaking of that kairi irving has released a statement a joint statement along with the brooklyn nets and he said i oppose all forms of hatred and oppression and stand strong with communities that are marginalized and impacted every day i'm aware of the negative impact of my post towards the jewish community and i take responsibility. I do not believe everything said in the documentary was true or reflects my morals and principles. I am a human being learning from all walks of life, and I intend to do so with an open mind and a willingness to listen. So from my family and I, we meant no harm to any one group, race, or religion of people and wish to only be a beacon of truth and light. That's in response to a post that he originally did
Starting point is 00:30:05 for a movie called Hebrews to Negroes Wake Up Black America. He posted that last week, and he defended that post in a news conference saying that he wouldn't stand down, but now he's saying that, you know, he wants to make sure that people know that there's no room for anti-Semitism, racism, false narratives, or misguided attempts
Starting point is 00:30:22 to create animosity and hate. So now he's also, by the way, working with the Anti-Defamation League in an effort to develop educational programming that is inclusive and will comprehensively combat all forms of anti-Semitism and bigotry. I mean, that's honorable what Kyrie did. I mean, if he feels he did something that offended a group of people and they are informing him that, you know, what he did was offensive,
Starting point is 00:30:46 and that's how he chooses to respond, I'm with that. Like, I haven't seen the documentary, but from what I heard, it's a doc that, you know, has a lot of allegations inside of it that are false and anti-Semitic. So if you didn't know that
Starting point is 00:30:57 and that's what you don't represent, apologize and do what you feel you need to do to right the wrong. Simple. Yes, and Kyrie and the Brooklyn Nets are each donating $500,000, by the way, to the Anti-Defamation League as well. And I feel like, you know, if you're a black person,
Starting point is 00:31:12 every time you talk about bigotry, anti-Semitism, or racism, you've got to be specific and say anti-black racism as well. Like, you've got to be specific, especially if you're a black person. Because we're specific when we say, you know, anti-Semitism, as we should be. So we got to be specific about saying anti-black racism as well. All right. Well, that is your rumor report.
Starting point is 00:31:35 All right. We got front page news next. What are we talking about? Yes. And let's talk about voting. Y'all know these midterms are coming up. Tuesday is the deadline. And so we'll give you some more information on that.
Starting point is 00:31:44 And we'll tell you some more information on that. And we'll tell you what Joe Biden had to say. 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. When it's time to get with someone special, the best way to do it is with Magnum large size condoms.
Starting point is 00:31:58 That gold foil wrapper is a badge of honor and it means you're protected. And you take care of things with comfort. Accept no substitutes. Bring the pleasure with the gold standard. is a badge of honor and it means you're protected and you take care of things with comfort except no substitutes bring the pleasure with the gold standard magnum large size condoms ej envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get some front page news all right now the world series if you're into it phillies versus the astros the astros won last night 5-0 they tied a series 2-2. Now tonight, Thursday night football. The Eagles take on the Texans.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Come on, Houston. Come on. You rooting for Houston? Yeah, I want Houston to beat the Eagles. You want the Eagles to lose? Oh, you know what? I'm bugging. I'm so crazy. I thought you were talking about the World Series.
Starting point is 00:32:37 What you talking about, man? But even still with that, I get why you want the Eagles to lose because you're a Giants fan in the NFC East. I thought in the World Series you'd be rooting for Philly because Philly's closer to you. I really don't care about the World Series. My Yankees aren't there. I don't like baseball anyway.
Starting point is 00:32:54 I got a mean Yankees jacket I'm going to wear for no reason. Okay. All right, what else you got, Yeezy? Somebody gave it to me. Well, as we are getting ready for elections on Tuesday for the midterms, everybody is out and about right now doing their interviews. Obama was in Arizona, and he wants to make sure that people are voting. He said, if you do need one more reason to vote,
Starting point is 00:33:15 consider the fact that our democracy is on the ballots. And he said that democracy as we know it may not survive in Arizona if election deniers fill all the top state offices. He also went on TikTok and did some collaborations with TikTokers telling people that they need to vote. It's Monday night and here's what's happened. B, what are you doing under my desk? Well, under the desk is kind of my thing. But here's the thing. You can stay for now, but when it comes time to voting, you're going to have to get up
Starting point is 00:33:44 because you've got climate change legislation on the thing. You can stay for now, but when it comes time to voting, you're going to have to get up. Because you've got climate change legislation on the ballot, you've got gun safety, and if we can elect more pro-choice members of Congress, we can reinstitute Roe v. Wade as the law of the land. So you can't stay here. You're going to have to take a little bit of time to vote. Is now a bad time to say that I voted for McCain in 2008? As long as you voted. Go to IWillVote.com and I will see you at the polls. She was under his desk?
Starting point is 00:34:12 That's weird. There's a TikToker who does that kind of a thing. Alright, now... I know, you have to see the whole video. Imagine if that was Bill Clinton. That's what I was thinking. Everybody would be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:34:26 Bad joke, guys. Now, President Obama also endorsed Karen Bass to be L.A.'s next mayor. Here he is supporting her. How you doing, Karen? I am doing great. It's so exciting to see you. Well, it is good to see you. I want to make sure I took some time out to talk to you personally.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Just to say how proud I am of your campaign. And to just let you know that you were there early for me when I ran for president. Always. You've always been on the right side of the issues that we care so deeply about. Thank you. And I'm confident you're going to be an outstanding mayor of LA. Oh, thank you so much. As you know, you got to run through the tape. Exactly. You got a little more work to do. Exactly. But I'm really proud of you and grateful for your friendship. More
Starting point is 00:35:16 importantly, grateful for the service you've rendered all these years and all the stuff you're going to do in the future. You know, I feel like this country is on the fast track to fascism. We already see rights being stripped away, political violence when they don't like the results of things, and the Democrats do not have a sense of urgency in regards to any of that. If democracy is on the ballot and you're telling us democracy as we know it is going to die, then you've got to give us that sense of urgency. All those little cute sketches are not going to work.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Obama seemed like he was out here doing a promo for an album like Drake in 21, and Drake in 21 seemed more convincing. Well, he's probably also trying to go to where the people are. Like, if a lot of people watch the under-the-desk news on TikTok, you know, and there's over two there. I think it has over two million followers. That's fine, but you just have a sense
Starting point is 00:35:59 of urgency about it. That's fine, but you just have a sense of urgency. You just have a sense of urgency. If democracy is really dying and democracy is really on the ballot, act like it. Well, Joe Biden also was in... Was he under the desk too? What was under the desk news? It's a popular TikTok platform where they give political news real quick. If Joe Biden get under the desk, he's going to need a lot of help getting back up.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Well, he also was in D.C. He was speaking from Union Station, and that's close to the U.S. Capitol. And he started talking about, of course, the importance of everybody getting out to vote. There are candidates running for every level of office in America, for governor, Congress, attorney general, secretary of state, that will not commit to accepting the results of elections that they're running in. This is a path to chaos in America. It's unprecedented and it's un-American. I've said before, can't love your country only when you win. I hope you'll ask a simple question of each
Starting point is 00:36:55 candidate you might vote for. Will that person accept the legitimate will of the American people, of the people voting in his district or her district? Will that person accept the outcome of the election, win or lose? And the answer to that question hangs the future of the country we love so much and the fate of the democracy that has made so much possible for us. They've also had to- No sense of urgency, bro. They've also had to increase security, a lot of polling places as well. So they're concerned about whether or not it's going to be some all right since our urgency when chicken little told me the sky was falling I believed it and I promise you when you turn the right-wing news like Fox News the elected officials and the broadcasters on those networks
Starting point is 00:37:37 they have a sense of urgency they really act like the sky is falling they really act like you know the death of democracy is upon us but they just blame it on Democrats and it's very believable it's not believable coming from the Like the sky is falling. They really act like, you know, the death of democracy is upon us, but they just blame it on Democrats. And it's very believable. It's not believable coming from the Democrats. It's really not. All right. Well, again, that deadline for you guys to vote is on the 8th, which is on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:37:58 So everybody has a responsibility right now. They're expecting us to. There's a lot of voter suppression, a lot of people who feel like it doesn't matter. It's not important. Some people, like I said, they've had to increase security for a lot of voter suppression, a lot of people who feel like it doesn't matter, it's not important. Some people, like I said, they've had to increase security for a lot of these poll workers and people working there, so just make sure you do your part. Okay? And do your research before you get there, so you know who you're voting for.
Starting point is 00:38:16 And that is your Front Page News. That's right. Alright, now when we come back, the Governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, will be joining us, and we're going to talk to her next. She's running for election. That's right. And we'll talk to us.
Starting point is 00:38:28 The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Power 105.1. The Breakfast Club. Envy. Angela Yee. And Charlemagne Degas.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Angela Yee. Charlemagne Degas. We are The Breakfast Club. We Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne Degas. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. She is the governor of New York. We have Governor Kathy Hochul.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Welcome. Good morning. Good to see everybody. Great to be here. I was like, we have to have you up here because elections are coming up. And, you know, we see a lot. And I've been seeing ads like crazy lately. There's a lot of information and a lot of misinformation out there.
Starting point is 00:39:05 So we wanted to make sure we had you because Lee Zeldin's been up here already. And in fact, he sat in that same chair, that same chair you're sitting in, Lee Zeldin sat in. All right. All right. You're throwing down the gauntlet now, huh? All right. Bring it on. Bring it on.
Starting point is 00:39:18 First thing Governor said was, I should have worn my Bills jacket when I was coming here because she seen me wearing my New York Giants. Well, I'm a Cowboys fan, so I can care less. I'm a Bills fan. There you go. This year. Why do you like the Bills so much? Every year I pick a different team.
Starting point is 00:39:32 This year I picked the Bills because I felt like they had a good chance of possibly going to the Super Bowl. She's a swing voter. You are a swing voter. And I'll take a swing voter. I have a lot of respect for that. I'll take a fair weather fan any day. Just be with the team.
Starting point is 00:39:46 She can't name one player. Just say Josh Allen, you're fine. See, you heard her. Just say Josh Allen. You told an interesting story before the mics came on about Lee Zeldin at the debates. Yeah, it's interesting. You're talking about the size of the chairs and the height and all that stuff. I said, I'm a little shorter.
Starting point is 00:40:01 We had a little platform built for us at the debate. Give me a little so I can reach the microphone. And, you know, just in some reason, my opponent decided he needed to have the platform built as well. So I just, whatever that's all about. It'll be that much taller. It's all right. Yeah, it kind of feeds into, like, the intimidation factor
Starting point is 00:40:18 that we saw Trump do against Hillary Clinton in the debate. You know, it's a nice effort, but nobody intimidates me. There you go. I'm a street fighter from Buffalo. Bringing it on is what I say. That's all right. I love campaigning, by the way. Now, how did you become governor of New York?
Starting point is 00:40:34 Do you know what happened in August of 2020? My God. Let me take you back. Let me take you back. A lot of people don't know. Yes, they do. A lot of people don't. Okay, but listen, you would be the first elected woman governor.
Starting point is 00:40:47 No, she wasn't elected, per se. Okay, okay. Yeah, if after this election, you know, when you win, you would be the first woman elected governor. That's a huge deal. But you are governor now because of Cuomo and everything that happened with that. Because I was lieutenant governor for eight years. That's why I know this state. I know all the boroughs.
Starting point is 00:41:06 I know all the great restaurants. I know all the neighborhoods. I've been everywhere for eight years. But when you're lieutenant governor, you're number two, it's not exactly the most high-profile position, right? You probably couldn't name my lieutenant governor now, can you?
Starting point is 00:41:18 No. Oh, no, I can't. It's Antonio Delgado. Oh, no, I can't. I'll take somebody else. All right, so it's Antonio Delgado, and he's fabulous. He's a member of Congress, became our lieutenant governor. I was no, I can't. I'll take somebody else. All right, so it's Antonio Delgado, and he's fabulous. He's a member of Congress, became our lieutenant.
Starting point is 00:41:27 I was lieutenant governor for eight years. Before that, I was a member of Congress from upstate New York. So I became the governor. When a governor resigns, lieutenant governor takes over. So I've been on the job 14 months. But I could step right in because I knew the job. I knew the state. I knew the issues, and I've been working on them for many, many years.
Starting point is 00:41:47 So the transition, a lot of people say, my God, what a tough time, hurricane and pandemic and shooting in Buffalo and all those things you've had to overcome. I can handle it because I've had to overcome so much throughout my life. I'm a New Yorker, and one of the main things right now with this election that everybody's talking about is cashless bail. Now, Lee Zeldin is saying he will get rid of cashless bail if he's elected. I want to know what your thoughts are on that because we've been talking about this a lot and there's a lot of misinformation about bail and cashless bail and people going back in the streets and crime in New York.
Starting point is 00:42:20 So I want to get your position because I think crime in New York is such a huge issue right now. It's a huge issue is right. This is my number one issue. I've been working on this not because it's a campaign time, but since I became governor a year ago and I can walk you through what we've done on getting 8000 illegal guns off the streets. I mean, there's no legal guns being made here. They're all legal coming in from another state. So I took our state police and said, you can be out there giving out speeding tickets, or I can get you on the border stopping the flow of illegal guns. And so we focused on a lot of ways we've made a difference on the murders and shootings. But the bail issue is important. I'm really grateful to have the chance to explain it. A number of years ago, the decision was made by my predecessor in the legislature
Starting point is 00:43:05 that there's a situation where two people accused of the same offense, they both steal a backpack, go before a judge. One's family has money. He gets bailed out. He goes back to his job. He goes back to school. He's fine. He shows up in court later and everything's good. A person whose family does not have the money or they don't have the money themselves to post bail, they end up in Rikers for a low level offense. Doesn't harm anybody, right? So that was the injustice. That was the premise behind the original bail changes back in 2018, 2019. What happened though was not just the low level cases, but other cases, other crimes were being swept under the changes. C happened, though, is not just the low-level cases, but other cases, other crimes were being swept under the changes. Cases with guns, loaded or unloaded. Cases where there's
Starting point is 00:43:50 repeat offenders. People keep going into the same store day after day after day after day and clearing the shelves and harm to other people, violations of orders of protection. So I became the governor, watching the crime rate, watching what's going on, not blaming those changes, but saying there's some loopholes that we need to close. We need to bring some of this back under. And I fought hard for that. And I took a lot of grief for that because I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do. But I had to win people over. I did it in our budget, got those changes done.
Starting point is 00:44:21 They've only been in effect a few months, so they haven't had a chance to work. But I need the whole system to work. What people don't realize is that for two straight years, there were no criminal trials, no jury trials because of COVID. They wouldn't meet because they didn't want to have jurors sitting that close to each other. So we have a huge backlog of cases in the court system. I also need the judges to do the right thing, the district attorneys to do the right thing, the district attorneys to do the right thing, and the whole system to work together. And telling people we're still the safest big city in America doesn't feel like it. I understand that to my core. I understand the
Starting point is 00:44:54 anxiety. And going into the subway with Mayor Adams a couple weekends ago was not my first time. He was newly sworn in January 6th, earlier this year. We went to the subways and talked about the fear in the subways, protecting people, getting more police, getting cameras. So someone's going to do something wrong, we're going to catch you on camera and you'll be brought to justice. You can't hurt somebody else on a subway. And also the people who are severely mentally ill. Severely mentally ill people should not be on the subway because they can have an episode and push somebody on a track. And there's a tragedy. So we call it, you know, working on cops, cameras, and care. We've been doing this from the beginning. This is not a new issue to me. So it is very disingenuous for someone to come on the show and say, changing the bail laws is going to
Starting point is 00:45:44 make the difference. We made changes. Let's see how, changing the bail laws is going to make the difference. We made changes. Let's see how they work. I'm always willing to make changes if necessary. I'm flexible. But we have a nationwide crime spike. You can't blame the New York State bail laws on that. I was going to ask, you know, with police officers leaving at large numbers, right? They're retiring. They're quitting.
Starting point is 00:46:03 They don't want to do it. They're saying a lot of it is due to the bail reforms. They're arresting people, and with hours, they come right back out, and then they do that same crime over. And it's not, like you said, small-level crimes, and that's making a lot of cops and people scared, where they don't want to go to work anymore, because they feel like their work is for nothing. And that's exactly the change we made. When I talk about repeat offenders, I can understand the frustration. The police officers and the business person who's just been robbed wants some justice and nothing happens because they get people get cycled through over and over again. That's when I can put things in there that others may not be real excited about, but that's when I can use the leverage of the budget. That's what I use. That's why our budget was nine days late. I said, I'm not leaving here until we deal with this repeat offender issue and some of these other issues. So now the law says that if it's a repeat offender,
Starting point is 00:46:58 you have the ability, judge, to consider bail. Now, again, that's still the discretion of the judge. A judge can still come up with a different decision. I can't, that's still the discretion of the judge. A judge can still come up with a different decision. I can't control that. I don't elect the judge here. But that's where the system is starting to pull back together. Everybody does their part. All right, we have more with the governor of New York, Kathy Hochul. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with the governor of New York, Kathy Hochul Yee.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Isn't that still the same problem? If somebody can afford to get out on bail, right, and the judge gives you a bail, then the people who have money will still be able to get out, and the people who don't have money won't. The judge also has the discretion to remand as well in cases. He can look at, is it bail eligible? Does he want to set it so high he knows the person's not going to make it so they will be held?
Starting point is 00:47:47 Or does he just want to simply remand them and hold them? And that's where the whole system has to work together. It's many parts. It's so simplistic to just say, you know, you fire one district attorney and change bail and then everything's all wonderful again. I hope voters aren't buying that. I hope they are not buying that.
Starting point is 00:48:03 That is so disingenuous, so unfair. It's a lie. It's a lie. That's not going to change things. anti-gun legislation that made sure that there was background checks and other reforms, the most significant legislation in Washington in 30 years, he wouldn't even vote for it. He didn't vote to fund police in Washington. He didn't bother to show up to vote. I tripled the amount of money going for law enforcement, as well as our violence disruptor groups, the people who've been in the system who come out and work with the clergy and the community leaders to try and get young people to be on a different path so they don't feel the only family they're going to have is in a gang. I have invested money, resources, changed laws, and worked on getting illegal guns off the streets, and Lee Zeldin doesn't even bother to show up to support our police.
Starting point is 00:49:02 People need to know that. And this is really frightening. He opposes our efforts to keep concealed weapons off the subways and out of churches and synagogues and schools. And in fact, he even said this weekend. Teachers should have guns. He said teachers should have guns. Think about this.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Let's say a school has a metal detector. Someone says, well, I've been radicalized online like the white supremacists who massacred my neighbors up in Buffalo. You get more people like that. They want to become famous. So I'm going to go shoot up a classroom. I don't have to worry about getting past the metal detector because I know there's a loaded gun in a classroom. I can just go take that gun from the teacher. You just told me that every teacher is going to have a gun.
Starting point is 00:49:46 That's a hell of a hypothetical, right? To say that the student can fight a teacher go take that gun from the teacher because you just told me that every teacher is going to have a gun. That's a hell of a hypothetical though, right? To say that the student can fight a teacher and take the gun? You don't think an adult could come in? Or another 18-year-old, a 20-year-old? I mean, those guns in classrooms do sound like a very... Most of these shooters are 18. They're mostly 18-year-olds. Yeah, I'm a person who believes, you know,
Starting point is 00:50:01 schools should have the same type of security as the airport. So I believe that there should be metal detectors. I believe that there should be, you know, armed guards just like there is at the airport. So if it's not that, what do you think they should do to protect schools? What you said is smart. Okay. We're not the teachers. That's the difference.
Starting point is 00:50:18 He said teachers. I have no trouble. But couldn't you tackle an armed guard the same way, though? Well, an armed guard is trained. Okay. They're not going to have someone just walk up and be a teacher. Our teachers have enough to deal with. They're dealing with kids who've been left behind for two straight years
Starting point is 00:50:33 because they had basically no education. What if it's a teacher who is an avid gun owner, who's trained, who knows how to use their gun and feels safer with their gun in the classroom because of everything that's happening nowadays? What I would ask is the parents, how do you feel your child being in a classroom when there's a loaded gun i think that's a fair question ask the parents how they would feel about that you could say you could ask you know the parents how those children feel the children were killed when the police didn't run in and they had no protection yeah and see when it comes to new york my problem with new
Starting point is 00:51:03 york is and i was born and raised in New York. My father's a retired police officer. I feel like a lot of times it forces you to get in a situation you can't handle. Right. If I go to any other state, I think it's like 40 states I'm licensed to carry. I can't carry in New York, of course. But how do I protect myself with crime rising and letting people out as they get locked up? It's like I'm a target. It's like he's a target it's like you know you have security so you're not as a target she's a target you know to the point where I don't feel comfortable taking my kids trick-or-treating you know I don't feel comfortable because I can't protect myself and then the police are not coming there they're retiring and
Starting point is 00:51:36 quitting at high rates and it's like but if I do carry a weapon and I'm doing it and I'm carrying it to protect myself I gotta go to jail for three years three years. So it's kind of like a weird situation, especially in New York, when it comes to carrying legal firearms. And let me let me talk to you. And I understand. And let's talk about New York state has some of the toughest gun laws in America. The toughest. A lot of states do not have any restrictions. So what is the death by firearm rate in states like New York? About five people per hundred thousand killed by firearms. In the states that don't have the same protections we do, pick any one of them, it's about 20, 25, 30 per hundred thousand. The number of people getting killed by firearms
Starting point is 00:52:17 because the accessibility, someone gets into a fight in a bowling alley or gets unhappy with someone at a subway station, someone gets shoved, and they're not just shoving back anymore. They have a weapon. I think we really need to rethink whether or not in a city with 8 million people,
Starting point is 00:52:33 we want people armed sitting all around us because the data shows that those states that have looser laws, people are dying at a higher rate than they are here in the state of New York if that's the real concern that we have. So I look at numbers. I look at debt. I understand. But I also understand the very really real emotions that are out there. There is fear out there. But in telling people that
Starting point is 00:52:55 the numbers are lower, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It's how you feel. And the reality is murders and shootings are down, but other crimes are up, without a doubt. And we're trying to tackle that. You know, the big crime right now is car theft. People are stealing catalytic converters. And we just had it passed along, and now we have, if someone's trying to steal a catalytic converter, the metals in it are very expensive.
Starting point is 00:53:22 They take it to a chop shop, everybody gets rich, then there's a victim out. We have victims out there. We made it so the shop that they go to now has to report it to a chop shop, everybody gets rich. Then there's a victim out. We have victims out there. We made it so the shop that they go to now has to report it to us. They have to keep a record of who brought that. So we just did that last week. I think that's going to start driving down. That's when you look at our numbers. One of the big drivers is auto theft and the theft of catalytic murder. So everywhere there's a problem, we're tackling it and going at ghost guns. One year ago, people could order online and assemble in their living room, put together an assault weapon and go shoot up a grocery store in Buffalo. We banned the ghost guns.
Starting point is 00:53:53 So we're always trying to be ahead of this. You know, my husband was Barack Obama's United States attorney up in Western New York. You know, his focus was gangs and street crimes. And he drove down the rate where he was able to work with the community groups, the clergy. United States attorney up in Western New York. You know, his focus was gangs and street crimes. And he drove down the rate where he was able to work with the community groups, the clergy, the violence disruptors. They were all his allies, but also worked really hard with law enforcement, brought them together to drive crime down. I still see we have great potential to do that. That's why as governor, I've been that convener. I brought together nine states, leaders of nine states law enforcement to say, I need your help to stop those guns from coming here. I don't want
Starting point is 00:54:31 them in East New York. I don't want them in the Bronx. I want our people safe. And it's that flow of guns. We have 400 million guns in this country that kids are killing each other and it has to stop. And part of the other way to stop it is to give those young people an alternative. And I'm laser focused on training programs and helping them get the jobs. And I speak in churches all the time. It's mostly the older women in the churches. And I say, get your grandson in here.
Starting point is 00:54:58 Get him in this program. There's people who are going to take care of him. He's going to be okay. We just have to stop the time in his life when he's most vulnerable to the allure of being part of a gang and feeling, you know, he's got power when he's got that gun. All right, we have more with the governor of New York, Kathy Hochul. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:55:16 Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with the governor of New York, Kathy Hochul. Charlamagne? I want to go back to the bail law reform for a second because I saw Tammy Hudson, the mother of Kiara Benefield, and she says your support for NY's no-cash bail law directly led to her daughter's death. And she said you should also be charged with the crime
Starting point is 00:55:39 because she feels like you have responsibility. What do you say to that? All I can say is that is a grieving mother. That is a grieving mother. I understand the anguish she's going through. She doesn't understand how this could have happened to her beloved daughter, leaving her children without, grandchildren without a mom. My family, my mother was a real champion for victims of domestic violence. Our family started a home for victims of domestic violence. The system failed. And I will just simply say, I'm not going to argue the facts with a woman who victims of domestic violence. The system failed. And I will just simply say,
Starting point is 00:56:05 I'm not going to argue the facts with a woman who's in such pain. And a lot of people are saying your lead is shrunk because of the rollbacks on some of the bail law reform. What do you say to that? And I think this is an opportunity for people to listen to what I just explained, you know, why,
Starting point is 00:56:19 why the laws are put in place before I got there, what I did to correct the areas where there needed to be reforms done. And they've only been in place before I got there. What I did to correct the areas where there needed to be reforms done, and they've only been in place a few months. So I'm just simply saying that we really have to tackle the issue of guns. Lee Zeldin has a horrific record on guns, opposes our red flag laws,
Starting point is 00:56:40 which means that when someone sends a message on social media, I'm going to shoot up a school, we have the right as a society to protect ourselves and go to that person's house and do they have guns. This literally happened in Buffalo a few days ago. Because of the New York State red flag laws that I toughened and Lee Zeldin opposes,
Starting point is 00:56:57 the police were able to identify someone who made a threat to their high school, went to their house and found a whole cache of guns. I want to prevent violence, not just talk about it afterward. And I think that also no system is going to be perfect, right, when it comes to certain things. And I know that with cashless bail, there's a lower recidivism rate. I saw that. But then also, I don't know how we would argue against the fact that somebody could get out on bail because they have money, but someone else can't because they don't. Right. And it's somebody that would get bail otherwise, because there's still people who aren't going to even have the opportunity.
Starting point is 00:57:32 There's no bail at all. And so those people who are violent offenders still will have to be in jail. But I think that if somebody is able to get out on bail and the judge is going to give you a bail, that it should be cashless because that just, the only difference is if you have money or if you don't. And I don't see how we would argue that because there are people who are sitting in jail for, you know, speeding tickets and fines and things like that, that should be able to get out. But I do feel like, yes, if it's
Starting point is 00:57:58 somebody that the judge feels is a danger to society, they shouldn't get out at all. I'm not talking speeding tickets. No. I'm not talking. But there are people who were sitting in jail for those reasons. I'm talking about like the gentleman who punched the cop in the face
Starting point is 00:58:08 and he was, punched the cop in the face. He got out right away after getting out a week ago for having a gun charge. Like after getting out another week ago
Starting point is 00:58:16 for alleged assault. Like that, those are, they have no cash. But my thing is, would he have gotten a cash bill at all? Because then the only difference
Starting point is 00:58:24 would be, because then maybe that's somebody that shouldn't get a bill at all? Because then the only difference would be, because then maybe that's somebody that shouldn't get a bill at all. No, I don't feel like you should get a bill. But the only difference is- But that's the point. That's what she was saying. It's up to the judge's discretion. It's the same thing in Illinois.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Like, the Republicans took the message in Illinois and came up with that whole purge thing, but it's the same exact thing. The judge had the discretion to decide. The judge had discretion, yeah. And judges are elected, and there's consequences at the polling place. You know, I read an article in the National Review that says
Starting point is 00:58:47 that Democratic leadership is making NYC unlivable for conservatives. And there's this Republican exodus. So how do you plan to keep people in New York? Well, we have to give them the jobs. And, you know, people may not want to be here philosophically. We do advance people's rights in this state. And if that's something an individual philosophically doesn't support, you know, I hope they will stay. We welcome them to stay and hopefully understand why it's so important for us to have rights for
Starting point is 00:59:14 people. And it's been a long journey to get to the rights we have here in the state of New York, whether it's LGBTQ rights, women's rights that are under assault right now. I mean, people want to live in a state where whether or not a woman can decide what to do with her own body is unquestioned. I mean, that's why New York State is even more welcoming. People are starting to want to come here from other states and we embrace them because that's who we are. We're so fascinatingly diverse. We welcome people from all over, but also we have jobs now that we didn't have before. So I encourage everyone to stay. Be honest now.
Starting point is 00:59:47 MAGA conservatives can go. Let me tell you a story real quick. You got a second? How much time? I would hope so. It's on you. It's on you. I'll tell you.
Starting point is 00:59:54 This is why I'm a different kind of leader. In Congress, I was elected as the first Democrat to represent the most Republican district in the state 10 years ago. How did I do that as a Democrat from Buffalo? I went out to the small towns and the diners and the VFW posts and met with the people. And I was out there fighting for health care, protecting Social Security and Medicare.
Starting point is 01:00:19 And they saw in me as someone who was not defined so much by labels, but as someone who really had a heart that was a fighter. I was, I am a fighter, but we don't have action, but, but I, I voted to protect their interest and I was elected. And one time I was taking a little trip along a canal, this Erie canal, as you all know, changed the history of New York, the Erie canal. I was on his boat with my husband and we pulled up to a dock in one of these really conservative small towns, docked the boat, didn't understand why there's so many other boats around realized that we were in the middle of a trump flotilla there's all these trump flags flying and i we had to jump out we're going to go try to find a pizzeria in the town to get some food and we're surrounded by people and i didn't
Starting point is 01:01:00 know if they'd recognize me or not and i stepped stepped out in the crowd, and I saw a bunch of the guys looking out of the hood of a car. Sounds like a horror movie. No, it gets better. I know, it gets better. And they're all looking. I said, is that a 67 Chevelle? I said, my brother had that. Open up that.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Let me see what you got under here. So I start talking to these guys. We're talking about how I drove a pace car, a NASCAR. I do everything I can. All of a sudden, we start talking about football because this is up in Buffalo Bills country. So we're talking about the Bills game. We're talking about cars.
Starting point is 01:01:32 We're talking about boating. We're talking place to eat. And they knew who I was. They knew at the time I was lieutenant governor of New York, a Democrat. They were all truly Trump supporters. But by the time we were done, they said, come on back and have a beer with us after you get your dinner.
Starting point is 01:01:47 Here's a place to eat. I do believe that we can connect with people in a different way when you set the election aside on November 9th. There'll be an opportunity for me to govern for the next four years in an inclusive way that understands there's parts of our state where they feel neglected, overlooked, whether it's in the boroughs or whether it's upstate. They need to have a leader who will bring people together and not be so divisive. I've already demonstrated I can be that person,
Starting point is 01:02:14 and that's exactly why I believe those individuals will still want to stay in a state where their children will have a good education, they have a chance of getting a good job, and will protect the rights of their family. What you're saying is right in theory. education, they have a chance of getting a good job, and will protect the rights of their family. No, what you're saying is right in theory, if we were dealing with a traditional type of conservative. But I feel like when I hear Democrats say that, it sounds like y'all want to play nice with the racists. Y'all want to play nice with the fascists. That's what it sounds like. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Because if you would have started having a conversation about black people or LGBTQ or immigrants with those same individuals it would have changed real quick i'm just saying my job exactly my job as the governor is to not drive people away from our state if that was that was seems like that was the promise you would i'm not driving people away from our state i'm simply saying i want them to understand our values our values are what sets us apart as new york. If they see here and get to know people, and that's why I think when you get to know people and you start breaking down the barriers, because otherwise our country is heading into a dark place.
Starting point is 01:03:12 I will always stand up for progressive values and proudly do so. But I also want to reach out with a message to others and say, you're worried about your family, the cost of living, safety. Everybody's concerned about those. And I'm the person who's going to lead this state back. So I am calling out white supremacists. I have no trouble sending my state police to investigate any area of where I think that there's hatred, where there's racism, there's bigotry and in fact I charged our Attorney General Tish James after the massacre in Buffalo
Starting point is 01:03:42 to start monitoring our social media sites and finding out who else is saying what so we can prevent the next massacre. So no tolerance for that. But for those who simply feel that the Democratic Party doesn't speak to them anymore, I'm going to have the conversations and try to pull them back. But I will not try to win over the hearts and minds of someone who is so full of hatred. You're absolutely right. There is a big difference between New York Republicans, the old school New York Republicans, and what has morphed into today.
Starting point is 01:04:13 And we have to call it out for the hatred. All right. Well, we appreciate you for joining us. Absolutely. Thank you for coming. Governor, if you freeze that, I'm having a problem with my 69 Camaro, if you know anything about those. Let me get out my toolkit.
Starting point is 01:04:25 All right. It's the governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, and we appreciate you for joining us. Make sure y'all go out there and vote. All right. Thanks, everybody. Early voting is underway.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? Be part of a great colonial tradition. What could go wrong? I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads.
Starting point is 01:06:16 Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times
Starting point is 01:06:53 we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.
Starting point is 01:07:21 You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Listen to Haunting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up, y'all? This is Questlove, and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family-friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th.

A tip of the cap because another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama
Starting point is 01:09:32 who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Colvin. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.
Starting point is 01:10:04 Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Tell them ain't a guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Stephen A. Smith. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report.
Starting point is 01:10:18 With Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. Alright, well last week on First Take, Stephen A. Smith had some things to say about black people being underpaid compared to their white counterparts, as well as women being underpaid compared to men. Here's what he had to say. We are still black in this country. We don't trust this country in terms of meritocracy. Always. We know the bottom line is, is that just like women are underpaid compared to male counterparts, blacks are underpaid compared to white counterparts. And so when you look at it from
Starting point is 01:10:51 that perspective, and of course, I think you'll look at me. I'm not talking about me, even though I got news for you. I am underpaid compared to some people on television and what they get paid, but that's a subject for another day. I ain't apologizing for that to a damn. So I am underpaid. Having said all of that, it ain't about me. All right, this sparked a whole conversation. He makes $12 million a year, which is an $8 million yearly salary and a $4 million per year production contract.
Starting point is 01:11:16 Well, one person who weighed in was Jameel Hill. Now she posted what some of other people make. Sean Hannity makes $25 million a year. Anderson Cooper makes $12 million a year. Tucker Carlity makes $25 million a year. Anderson Cooper makes $12 million a year. Tucker Carlson makes $10 million a year. These are all faces of their networks. I wouldn't consider Troy Aikman the face of ESPN, and he's making
Starting point is 01:11:34 $18 million a year. Yeah, I mean, I can see why Stephen A feels like that. Like he said, he said out of everybody on TV, not just sports broadcasters and like Jamel said, Stephen A. is the face of ESPN. He is ESPN. Let's be clear.
Starting point is 01:11:50 Not just ESPN. He's a big part of the Disney ABC family. He does what? I think, what is that? What is that? What's that show, the basketball show? I can't remember the name of it, with him and Jalen Rose and Mike Wilborn and all of them that they do before the games.
Starting point is 01:12:03 But, yeah, I can see him making more than $12 million a year for everything he does. Mm-hmm. Well, you know, he's unapologetic about it. As he should be. All right. Now let's talk about Johnny Depp. So he's going to be doing a Savage Fenty guest appearance in Rihanna's show. So they're saying he'll be a featured surprise guest in her Savage Fenty Volume 4 fashion show.
Starting point is 01:12:30 It's the first time that she's actually inviting, I think, a man to be a part of it. So he'll be the first male, and he'll be making history doing that. I was saying I was watching Nightmare on Elm Street on the flight, the first one. I forgot Johnny Depp was in that. If you guys want to flashback and watch that.
Starting point is 01:12:47 All right, now Dwayne Wade's ex-wife has filed an objection to her daughter Zaya's name change. She filed in court yesterday that she feels that Dwayne Wade is trying to make money off of their transgender daughter Zaya's name and gender change. And she's filed a petition with the L.A. County Superior Court to legally change 15-year-old Zaya. Dwayne Wade filed a petition to legally change her name. At the time, he said he did notify his ex-wife.
Starting point is 01:13:14 But in court documents, Siobhan said her ex-husband did not try to contact or confer with her regarding Zaya's name change or transition and violated their custody agreement. And she also argued that Dwayne Wade, who reportedly made an estimated $200 million during his 16-year career, may be pressuring our child to move forward with the name and gender change in order to capitalize on the financial opportunities that he has received from companies as a result of Zaya coming out, according to court documents. Now, Dwayne Wade has already responded to these allegations. I saw that he was not happy about having to do this at a time when he's on vacation and, you
Starting point is 01:13:52 know, dealing with other things. But he said, so this must be the new way of parenting. I guess I have to address these allegations here, which is a damn shame. While I'm on a life-changing trip in our motherland, Africa, I've received a social media post about me forcing our 15-year-old child to be someone she's not and to do something against her will. These are serious and harmful allegations that have hurt our children. While none of us are surprised by Siobhan's attempt to fight Zaya's identity and her unwavering attempt to drag my name through the mud, I'm very disappointed that she continuously finds ways of censoring herself and her needs without regard to her children. This report came out while Zaya was in class. This is a kid who has maintained a 4.0 GPA and honors classes
Starting point is 01:14:31 while navigating all this unsolicited and harmful attention and debates about her gender and sexuality from those who are committed to not listening to her, much less even knowing her. So he goes on to explain his side of things and says that Siobhan has not even been trying to co-parent over the years. And she's left her home to see more lawyers and has taken the time to talk to more lawyers since I filed for divorce. Then she's left her home to actually see or have truly spoken and listened to Zaire over all these years. That has to be mentally, emotionally, and spiritually draining, right?
Starting point is 01:15:02 Which part? For everybody? Yeah, for the whole family. I mean, it's an interesting draining, right? Which part? For everybody? Yeah, for the whole family. I mean, it's an interesting case, right? Because, you know, the father feels one way, the mother feels one way. And if I read correctly, she's fighting because she wants the child to wait
Starting point is 01:15:16 until they're 18 to really make any permanent decisions, right? And she's also saying that their daughter is being pressured to change the name and gender for capitalizing off of the name and gender for capitalizing off of the press and attention that it's getting. Yeah, I don't know about all that. That ain't my business. But that's what she's
Starting point is 01:15:31 alleging. Yeah, but I think it's fair to say, hey man, you know, wait until the child is 18 before they make any permanent decisions about their gender. Like you said, it's nobody's business, but that's a conversation they both can have. A mom might see it one way, a dad might see it the nobody's. About their gender. Like you said, it's nobody's business. But, you know, that's a conversation they both can have. A mom might see it one way, dad might see it the other way, you know?
Starting point is 01:15:48 Absolutely. You know, and he does have. I think it's fair just to say the weight to the child is 18, though. And I think what he's saying, though, is that Zaya is very aware of who she is. And nobody's pressuring her. This is what she wants to do. And he also says, I've given Siobhan the opportunity to reach out to Zaya's teachers, doctors, and therapists over the years and even meet her friends so she could get her own understanding of our child's needs for her life.
Starting point is 01:16:10 She won't do it. She has not been to a school recital, graduation school, dance play date, practice, parent-teacher conference, et cetera, and Zaya has given her every opportunity to try to get to know her.

So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitches.
Starting point is 01:23:09 Who's donkey of the day today? Well, Ed Sheeran, donkey of the day for Thursday, November 3rd, goes to two Iowa high schoolers named Willard Miller and Jeremy Goodall. Okay, both were arrested and charged with murder. Who did they murder? They murdered a 66 year old teacher named Nohema Graber. May God be pleased with that woman's soul. No human deserves that type of fate to live 66 years and be murdered for simply doing your job is unbelievable. Man, boy, teachers got a rough job nowadays. They've always had a rough job,
Starting point is 01:23:44 but Lord have mercy. Sadly, it's the world we live in where something like this can happen. But what do you mean, Uncle Charlotte? She got killed by two high schoolers for simply doing her job. I don't understand. Well, let's go to NBC News for the report, please. Tonight, a twisted tragedy in Iowa, where two teens are accused of killing their Spanish teacher and communicating about it on social media.
Starting point is 01:24:08 She carried herself like, you know, almost like a queen except very humble. And I just don't know why anybody would want to hurt her. Her name was Noema Graber, now dead at 66 years old. Police say her body was found Wednesday at this park in Fairfield, Iowa, where she was known to take afternoon walks. According to the criminal complaint filed with the Jefferson County Police Department, Graber was covered by a tarp, wheelbarrow, and railroad ties and appeared to have suffered inflicted trauma to the head. The suspects, two 16-year-old students at Fairfield High School where Graber taught.
Starting point is 01:24:46 Investigators say they found incriminating social media communications between them detailing the motive, the planning and execution, and even deliberate attempts to conceal the crime. Both have been charged with homicide in the first degree and conspiracy to commit homicide in the first degree. Would you like to know what the motive was? What? Willard Miller and Jerry McAdaw allegedly killed their Spanish teacher last year as payback for a bad grade she gave one of the teens in her class. A bad grade. By the way, ladies and gentlemen, these are the types of people who grow up to be election deniers.
Starting point is 01:25:25 All right. These are the types of people who absolutely grow up and commit political violence because they cannot accept the results of an election. All right. Here's the thing about grades. Grades are your responsibility. Once the teacher gives you the information, once she does her job and teaches you, it's on you to get good grades. Even if you aren't grasping how to do the work, it's still on you because then you have to ask questions. Say you're having some trouble understanding. The moral of the story is there is nothing a teacher can do. There's nothing you can do to a teacher to change a poor grade.
Starting point is 01:25:58 And I can't believe that I even have to say this, but killing your teacher is definitely not going to change your grade, but it damn sure will change your life because now you're going to prison. All right. And I'm going to tell you something in all my years of grade school, because that's all I got. I graduated with a diploma from Berkeley high school night school program actually got left back twice. I was supposed to be class of 96, but I was class of 98. But in all my years of grade school, as much poor grades as I got, even the couple of times I was left back, not once did it cross my mind to physically harm a teacher
Starting point is 01:26:31 in no way, shape, or form, nonetheless kill her. I thank God for the self-awareness that I have always had to understand that things like this are my fault. When I would get in trouble in school, make poor grades in school, I was fully aware it was my fault. When I would get in trouble in school, make poor grades in school, I was fully aware it was my fault. I have no reason to lash out at a teacher for doing her job. Not to mention Ms. Graber met with Willard. Okay. According to the report, she met with Willard to discuss his poor grades on the day of her murder. So clearly she cared. That's all we want from teachers is
Starting point is 01:27:02 for them to care. And clearly she cared because if she didn't, she wouldn't have met with him. All right. But at what point do you have the bright idea to say, I know what I'm going to do. I know how to handle my poor grades. I'll kill the teacher that gave them to me. Forget studying. Forget getting a tutor. I'm going to just kill the teacher. And being that we in an era where the more we advance in technology, the more we lose our humanity. Not only did they kill her, they bragged about it on Snapchat. You heard the news report. A witness provided photos of a Snapchat conversation with one of the teens that implicated himself and Miller by name in her killing.
Starting point is 01:27:35 But what bugs me out is Willard Miller has an attorney named Christine Branstad, and she's saying four search warrants were issued illegally and is asking the court to invalidate all four and suppress the evidence from Snapchat, as well as her client's home, comments he made to the police, and information taken from his cell phone. Absolutely freaking not. If somebody commits a crime like this and then they go rap about it in great detail in a song, it should be allowed to be used as evidence. So same rules got to apply here. You killed someone, bragged about it on social media, then it should be used as evidence, period. I don't even understand why lawyers like Christine Branstad take these kinds of cases. Do
Starting point is 01:28:14 you realize this young man would do the same thing to you if given the opportunity? He's a little entitled prick. If you lose this case, he might kill you for simply simply because he didn't like the result to the case. OK, I don't understand the logic of the world we live in. This little boy killed his teacher because he was frustrated with the way she taught Spanish and he felt his low grade in Spanish was going to lower his overall GPA. Well, damn it. Will it? If a poor grade in Spanish is going to lower your GPA, what do you think forever in prison going to do? Both boys are now 17, and they will be tried as adults. Miller's trial is scheduled to begin March 20th, and Jeremy Goddard's trial is set to begin December 5th.
Starting point is 01:28:53 You got to throw the whole jail at them. All right? The whole entire prison, just drop it upon the head topper, because I don't know any other way to deal with this kind of evil. This is evil, because these kids had the wherewithal to know they didn't want poor grades. He didn't want a low GPA. And then they created, devised a plan to go kill their teacher. It wasn't a random reacting out of emotion thing. They knew she liked to take daily walks in a park after school and they went after her. That's premeditated, well thought out evil.
Starting point is 01:29:22 Dropped the prison on him. Dro Drop the prison upon your head top. Okay, not to mention, I wish that teacher had a gun. She probably didn't think she needed one doing her daily walk in the park, but I wish she was scrapped because those kids would have backed up off her with that baseball bat if she had a pistol. The moral of the story is kids never make a permanent decision based off temporary feelings. In this case, temporary grades.
Starting point is 01:29:46 You can correct bad grades, but you can't correct the tragic, terrible mistake of taking this woman's life. Please let Rami Ma give Willard Miller and Jerry Magadal the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother******, are you dumb? All right, well, thank you for that donkey today.
Starting point is 01:30:04 Would y'all like to play a game of guess what race it is? Or you think you got this one figured out? Nah, let's do it. Stupid motherfucker. You dumb. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Would y'all like to play a game of Guess What Race It Is? Or do you think you got this one figured out? Nah, let's do it. Let's do it. I haven't done it in a long time. Let's play a game of Guess What Race It Is! All right. All right.
Starting point is 01:30:17 Willard Miller, Jerry McAdall, high school student, 16 years old, Iowa, killed their Spanish teacher as a payback for bad grades. DJ Envy, guess what race it is? White. Shake it off. Shake it off. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:30:35 Okay. Angela Yee, two high schoolers from Iowa, 16 years old, Willie Miller and Jerry McAdaw killed their Spanish teacher as payback for a bad grade. Angela Yee, guess what race it is! Man, I feel so bad even having to discuss this, so, um, but I am gonna say white.
Starting point is 01:30:58 I don't know what made y'all come to that conclusions, but that is the white answer. Alright, they both are Caucasian! Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Forever is a very long time, and that's how much time they need to get in prison, because this was premeditated, well thought out, devised evil over a bad
Starting point is 01:31:18 damn grade. Come on, man. Alright. Well, thank you for that dunk of the day, sir. Up next, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:31:33 The Breakfast Club. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Yee. Eat the bread. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 01:31:48 We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye. Hello, who's this? Hey, Envy. This is Cassandra from Virginia Beach. Good morning. Hey, Cassandra, 757. Good morning, Cassandra.
Starting point is 01:31:59 What's your question for Ye? Good morning. So, first of all, I want to say, Envy, my sister and I were on the Tamron Hall episode with you. Really? OK. Yes. So my sister and I are the two sisters that were friends first and then found out we're actually sisters. Oh, OK. Yeah. We didn't get a chance to see you guys because that was during heavy COVID. So they kept everybody far apart from each other. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But, you know, I thought that was interesting. But anyways, good morning, Charlamagne.
Starting point is 01:32:27 Good morning, Yee. Good morning. So I have a good job, right? I make decent money, but it's not filling my cup. Okay. I kind of feel like I'm wasting my talent, but I kind of don't know the direction to go in. And my husband is very black and white.
Starting point is 01:32:48 He's like, oh, you're making good money. It's all good. And for me, I'm like, yeah, I am, but I feel like I'm kind of wasting my talent. Well, what is your talent? I'm really good with people. I like helping people. I was a surgical assistant for an oral surgeon for like five years. Okay. So that's, you know, that's, that's what fills my cup. But the issue
Starting point is 01:33:11 is there's a pay cap on that. So do you know what it is that you want to do? I just want to help. I don't know. I just want to help people. I think I'm going to end up going back to school to like finish my bachelor's degree. I haven't finished my degree, but I don't know. Maybe I should like stay where I'm at right now, you know, until I figure it out. It's just, you know, I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. So they have a phrase for what it is, because like you said, you're making good money, but you're not satisfied. They call that golden handcuffs, right? That's when you have your financial security, you're comfortable in doing what you That's when you have your financial security. You're comfortable in doing what you're doing. You have your job, but somehow you're not feeling fulfilled.
Starting point is 01:33:51 So what I would advise for you to do is make sure that you're getting your savings together while you're working here so that you have a cushion. Right. Because like you said, you make good money but part of it is that you are ready to get out of that because you know you're looking towards the future and you don't ever want to not take a chance on yourself and be fulfilled in your job so make sure you're saving right now for that get your get get that together and then you really need to figure out what it is that you want to do you're talking about going back to school right and so school for what do you know what you want to go to school for? It's so crazy.
Starting point is 01:34:29 Like, I think I'm just, I already have like X amount of credits. So I think I'm just going to go ahead and just finish it out in either sociology or psychology. Okay. But I just feel like that's just like a wide range, you know? Right. So what you need to do is focus on what the goal is and set goals for yourself. Because this is a huge shift in what you're going to be doing in your life. But you want to make sure that whatever you do, it's realistic and that you have a plan. Right. So what that means is as a plan financially, figure out
Starting point is 01:34:54 what it is that you need to have saved up before you make that leap so that you can be comfortable for a period of time. And then also figure out what it is that you want to do and set a goal to be able to do that. Because I think right now you just know, OK, I'm good at this. I enjoy this. But you don't have any idea of what it is that you want your next move to be. So you'll get some clarity on that. And sometimes you have an aha moment where it might be while you're in the middle of doing something and something sparks it in you. And if that happens, when you decide and you get that spark then start doing things toward
Starting point is 01:35:26 achieving that goal and you can do that while you have your day job and you're saving for that but i just want to make sure that you have a direction that you're going in so that you can go really hard for something because you got to believe in yourself the worst thing i feel like is to not do something that your heart is telling you that you want to do but you want to be prepared in doing that yeah i think it's scared i think it's scary to think like, is the money going to come with it? You know, like my sister and my story blew up. Actually, the Breakfast Club posted our story online and it blew up so big, you know, and like other adoptees like want our help. And I kind of feel like some of that is part of my direction, you know, helping other adoptees
Starting point is 01:36:06 maybe find their families, you know, stuff like that. I don't know. All right. Well, I love to see it. So do some research, figure out what type of things are available out there. Do some outreach. Reach out to some of these companies. You have a story to tell and something that you're passionate about it because of your
Starting point is 01:36:21 own personal story. Right. All right. How can people reach you? So my Instagram is IamCassandraRaquel, R-A-Q-U-E-L. That's my Instagram. That's my TikTok. The story went viral on TikTok,
Starting point is 01:36:34 and that's how we got to be on the Today Show and the Breakfast Club and all of that. All right, Cassandra. Well, we'll be watching and keeping up with you, but that's the advice that I can give you for now. So you can get some direction on. Okay. Go hard, though.
Starting point is 01:36:48 Go hard for yourself. Thank you, Yee. I appreciate that. Bye, y'all. Have a good one. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. You need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now.
Starting point is 01:36:58 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee.
Starting point is 01:37:13 Hello, who's this? Hi, I want to remain anonymous because my husband listened to y'all too, and y'all would not be getting me caught up. He'll probably recognize your voice, but go ahead. I don't even care. He's not even going to notice. But, okay, so me and my husband, we've been together for five years. We've been married for three.
Starting point is 01:37:32 And of those five, he's mostly been the breadwinner of our family. He has his own business as well as he works with the city. So my question is, we have three kids, and i take care of them i'm gonna stay at home mom but our arguments are always mostly about money and me getting a job now he makes enough money well over enough to take care of the family as well as the bills and everything and still be able to say so my question is where am i going wrong what's the problem like why can't you know we can see you going on. What am I doing wrong?
Starting point is 01:38:07 Like, cause I do everything around the house. Like I should, because you know, I'm a housewife and he does everything he should at work, but we're still arguing about the whole me not working. Well, you are working.
Starting point is 01:38:18 So let's not say you're not working because what you do. And that is my main argument. And it's, it feels like maybe he's not valuing what it is that you're bringing to the table. Yes. And the way that you need him to. And perhaps for him, you know, having to be at a job during the day and financing support, there's a lot of stress that comes with that, too.
Starting point is 01:38:37 Absolutely, and I completely understand that, which is why when he comes home, you know, I try to have it all prepared for him. Dinner, you know, kids are settled, everything, the house is clean, you know what I'm saying? So, I mean, I don't understand, you know, why is it not working the way that we've been? I mean, we've been doing this for five years, you know what I'm saying? I know. And part of it, sometimes people get so comfortable in something too. Imagine if you did go back to work and now you got to pay for somebody to watch the kids, you got to pay for a housekeeper, You got to order out more.
Starting point is 01:39:05 He's not getting those things. He's done that before. That's why I'm trying to figure out, like, why is it so hard for him to understand, you know, that it works this way for him to work and me watch the kids? Because like you said, once you start, once I start working as well as him working, we have to pay someone to watch the kids. We have to pay to get back and forth, me to get back and forth to work. You know what I'm saying? It's a lot that goes into that. And it's not like I have never worked before in all the five years that we've been together.
Starting point is 01:39:31 I've had numerous jobs. Okay. So how about this? I feel like sometimes people find it hard to look at things from another person's perspective. I feel like y'all need a financial planner. Do you have one? No, we don't. We just mostly budget together.
Starting point is 01:39:45 Like he'll bring me the money. Let me know all the bills that we have to pay. And we just sit down together and do it together. Okay. Which is great. But I do think sometimes an outside person whose expertise is in financial planning can be really beneficial. And a lot of times those services do come, you know, with whatever bank that you have or whatever, you know, for free. So it wouldn't even be something that you and even if you did have to pay something for that, you know, get some recommendations. I think it's worth it and
Starting point is 01:40:13 it's valuable because it could end up saving you money and reaching goals financially that you guys want to plan for together. So if the goal is because our main goal is to own our own towing business. Right. And if that's something that you guys are striving toward, then you might need an outside person that can help you guys budget, figure out what investments that you can make for long term and what those short term investments and things that you need to do are in order to achieve those goals. And if you guys are staying on track that way, then there shouldn't be arguments over money. It's hard to not argue over money, though, because it is a stressful thing in relationships and our own relationships with money sometimes come into play. And we don't even realize how it affects our relationship because we all have our own issues and our own upbringings and ways that we feel about money. Right. So sometimes what you need is someone to come in and say, OK, what are the goals that you guys have? What is it that you
Starting point is 01:41:02 need to achieve? And let's work on getting this timeline timeline right. Let's work on getting these financial goals met. And that can really help you not have to argue about those things anymore, because it feels like you guys are trying to handle this on your own and clashing over it. And sometimes an outside person who's that's their expertise can also show you how it might be more beneficial for you to be at home. I think anybody would rather have a parent raising the kids and taking care of things, if possible, you know, and then having to pay somebody else. I don't want my family members. I don't want, you know, the system, school, and all that. I don't need them to raise my kids, especially if, like I said, he's, you know, making enough money to take care of us where I have that opportunity because I didn't have that. Both my parents, even though I have both them in my life, they both work, you know,
Starting point is 01:41:48 a lot of hours and it it did something to me. So I don't want to do that to my children. I want them to be able to come home from school and see mommy at home, house clean, and she's ready to play with us. That's what I want for our family. How many? How old are your kids? Three and two.
Starting point is 01:42:03 And then he has an older daughter. She is six. And it might even be an agreement where you're like, okay, when the kids are all in school, right? When they're in kindergarten, at least, then maybe that's something that you guys can revisit. But until then, let's get this going. But I do feel like the emotions get so involved when it comes to finances that you might need to really just be practical about it and have somebody set up a system for you yeah that sounds great because i really don't understand how we continue to have the same argument for five years straight okay all right good well at least you've targeted and you want to work on it and i think that's important and knowing that this is what
Starting point is 01:42:39 we argue about how can we fix this before it gets out of control and you guys really can't stand each other yes Yes, absolutely. All right, well, I wish you luck with that. And I'm telling you, get that. And then, like I said, understanding his point of view, maybe you're like, when our two-year-old is in kindergarten or first grade, then we can, you know, look into seeing how I can get back in the workforce if we decide at that time that that makes sense.
Starting point is 01:43:02 I'm all for going to work. I have no problem doing it. I just, I want our priorities, which are our kids, to be in order first. You know what I'm saying? I don't want to just be going to work, working a nine to five, just so we can say we got money. And then we have our children have nothing to show for. Like, we bought them the best of the best, but we didn't have no time for them.
Starting point is 01:43:21 Okay. Well, good luck with that. Let us know how it works out, too. Thank you so much. I love The Breakfast Club. I listen to y'all every morning. Please keep it all up. DJ, Envy, Charlamagne, Yee.

Starting point is 01:43:58 Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Ryan Coogler. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, as we're getting ready for the Wakanda Forever, let's talk about Rihanna on the soundtrack. Now, Ryan Coogler sat down with Gayle King on CBS and talked about reaching out to her personally to get her on there. Here's what he said. Let's talk about Rihanna.
Starting point is 01:44:25 We can't even say why Rihanna because it's Rihanna. But beyond that, what was your pitch to her? Because you reached out to her, I'm told, personally. Yeah, I think she has a lot of great people around. You know, Jay Brown, especially, one of the partners at Roc Nation. And it was really, you know, talking to the folks around her because she was in a position where her life was changing. She was becoming a mom and she kind of had a phalanx
Starting point is 01:44:48 of folks, you know, that she trusted, who we were in constant communication with and then they would go communicate with her. And I think the trailer is what spoke to her the most. She kind of saw the performances that the actors were putting down and what the tone was, heard that beautiful music by Tim's mixed with Kendrick.
Starting point is 01:45:04 And then she, you know, and it timed up with her, you know, coming into the space where she was ready to engage with the world musically again. Alright, well dope. I mean, that was a huge moment and that makes sense. Other people that are featured on the soundtrack include Burner Boy, Tim's is
Starting point is 01:45:19 on there, Snow the Product featuring E-40, Stormzy, Fireboy, DML, amongst others. others so i heard from snow in a minute i'd love to hear some new snow as well dropping the clues bombs to snow and that soundtrack got everybody uh making music again who ain't made music in a while right all right now t-pain sat down with trevor noah and he talked about a lot of different things like his depression you went into a depression and you spoke about how you had to work on your mental to come out of this. Absolutely. I love being vocal about things like that because it wasn't set in the blueprint before me.
Starting point is 01:45:52 Nobody tells you about the down. Everybody always tells you about the up. And I always look back at the people that came before me and I'm like, why? Why didn't y'all tell me about this? Like, you know, according to them it was all it's it's money girls big house somehow your wife don't find out about any of that uh you know the fantasy world but you know nobody told us about the down so I try to stay vocal about that to let people know these things are gonna happen there's no magical world in the multiverse that everybody is happy all the time yeah that's
Starting point is 01:46:32 right and that's how you eradicate the stigma of you know mental health issues by simply talking about them so share your stories people he also says that he has no regrets when it comes to his career what would you do differently and and why? Uh, condoms. That would probably be it. I'll probably invest in them bitches. No, man, I don't think I would change anything. I think the most important thing that came out of how I've done everything
Starting point is 01:46:57 is the lessons I've acquired while doing them. You know, and knowing each end of the spectrum is always better than going in it blindly and going off of faith. You know, as I said, having that information, if I would have came into the game and I would have stayed successful for this long, the downfall would have just been from a higher height. Right. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:47:16 So I kind of embraced the fact that I was able to go jump in the kiddie pool real quick and then move to the high. You know, I just wanted to have that experience in my life and i don't regret any part of it all right now listen to this there's a netflix documentary that's supposed to be coming out on saturdays called orgasm inc and they're getting sued over this um documentary it's a group of 15 former participants of one taste now if you don't know what One Taste is, they've been accused of being an orgasm cult. They've even been investigated by the FBI. They operated from 2005 to 2018. They billed themselves as a sexual wellness company focusing on orgasmic meditation. Now, what happened is the group is saying the film, Orgasm Inc., uses
Starting point is 01:48:03 sexually explicit stolen footage and they want a temporary restraining order for that. They said the footage in the documentary was stolen and distributed by a former videographer for the company. And the footage depicts intimate body parts and acts of sexual intercourse as well as nudity and intimate touching as part of instructions of the concepts and methods that they were taught with OneTaste. So they also claimed that before being filmed for classes, workshops, or events,
Starting point is 01:48:28 the group had documents acknowledging the events would be confidential. They also had verbal agreement and a show of hands from all participants agreeing that the event was conducted in a safe space where intimate ideas and deep personal feelings could be discussed privately and confidentially without any fear or worry that they would be publicly revealed. They also said the videographer signed a confidential and proprietary information agreement, but he's defended himself by arguing that some of the plaintiffs in the case are public figures. So it's supposed to be out on Saturday, but now they're suing to try to get this temporary restraining order.
Starting point is 01:49:03 They said that they have no idea what footage is actually featured in the film because Netflix will not let them know. OK, so I don't know if it's going to be out on Saturday or not. But again, you know, we always talk about these documentaries and public information and public figures. So it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. And that is your rumor reports. All right. Thank you is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Shout out to Van Lathan.
