Morning everybody. It's DJ NV, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Morning, Morgan. Good morning, DJ NV, Charlamagne the God, and Jess Hilarious. How you doing? Good morning. How are we Charlemagne the God and just hilarious. How you doing? All right, let's get into the front page news.

So President Trump says Palestinians have no alternative but to leave their Gaza homes. Now this comes as Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met in the Oval Office on Tuesday with Trump calling Gaza a demolition site and said that Palestinians should be displaced to settlements in other countries. Now Trump claimed those living in Gaza would be thrilled to live somewhere else. Let's hear more from Trump on his efforts to own Gaza and displace more Palestinians. The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too.

We'll own it. Instead, we should go to other countries of interest with humanitarian hearts. And there are many of them that want to do this and build various domains that will ultimately be occupied by the 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza. Yeah, so that's his suggestion. What do you guys think about that?

I mean, we're looking at owning a lot of things here, maybe making Canada the fifty first. He wants everything. America, Gulf of Mexico, you know, and now maybe the Gaza Strip. Nobody's surprised about that, but I would never understand what all the pro

Palestinian pro Gaza people in Michigan were thinking, especially folks in Dearborn. Majority of Arab city and Donald Trump became the first Republican to win this since 2000. All the Arab Americans who had resentment. Arab Americans. Arab, I'm sorry, all the Arab Americans who had resentment of the Biden-Harris administration's pro-Israel policies

and they drove a massive swing away from the Democrats in Dearborn and all over Michigan. I don't understand what y'all was thinking. I don't know why y'all thought that Donald Trump was going to be a better option. I don't know what y'all was thinking. And where are the Jill Steins and the Green Party and everybody now? Where they at now? Well, Benjamin Netanyahu, he has been the first foreign leader to meet with Trump during this second term

and is in D.C. as negotiations are expected to resume between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas to extend the ongoing ceasefire. Now, the Israeli Prime Minister praised Trump and further laid out plans for the future. Let's hear more from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. You are the greatest friend Israel has ever had in the White House. And that's why the people of Israel have such enormous respect for you. Israel has never been stronger and the Iran terror axis has never been weaker. But as we discussed, Mr. President, to secure our future and bring peace to our region, we have to finish the job.

In Gaza, Israel has three goals. Destroy Hamas's military and governing capabilities, secure the release of all of our hostages, and ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel. And once again, I never understood it. Okay, the pro-Palestinian, pro-Gaza people would go to Kamala's rallies and interrupt her and protest against her. Never Kamala would be chant, but you never had that energy for Trump at his rallies.

And you knew he wanted to create Mara Gaza. You knew that. Mara Gaza, oh Lord, oh my gosh. So pro-Palestinian protestors, Mara Gaza, you stupid stupid post-palestinian process protesters were gathered out the White House Chanting Gaza is not for sale hundreds of protesters holding banner signs and waving flags as they chant Rhythmic to chant to rhythmic drumming and they have their you know chance and different things of that nature During the campaign Like dearborn Michigan is a majority Arab city and Donald

Trump became the first Republican to win this since 2000. So Trump added that he would return he would turn Gaza into the Riviera of the Middle East. So yeah. Yes, you said my my what did you call it my Gazaa Gaza. Yeah. Well, uh, Trump says he's, uh, instructed his advisors to obliterate Iran if it assassinates him in regards to all of what's happening with this adding Iran will be destroyed if it retaliated against the U S I know he made the comments during a I'm tired too. Um, he made the comments during a press conference at the white house on Tuesday while signing a presidential memorandum to increase pressure on Tehran. Now that memorandum calls for maximum economic sanctions and enforcement mechanisms against

Iran. Let's hear more from President Trump on Iran. That would be a terrible thing for them to do, not because of me. If they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I've left instructions. If they did that they would be obliterated that would be the end I've left instructions. If they do it they get obliterated. There won't be anything left. We will see whether or not we can arrange or work out a deal with Iran and everybody can live together and maybe that's possible and maybe it's not possible.

I understand the context. I hope that doesn't happen. But you know, he's saying if they assassinate him, if they take him out, wipe them out. Yes. Fair. Okay. So Mr. Fair, federal authorities have been monitoring threats against Trump from Iran for years after Trump ordered to kill the top Iranian military leader in 2020. So this is a real live ongoing thing and I will keep you posted. Trump might as well put out a drill album at this point. I mean, Jesus Christ. I mean,

I mean, come on man. All right. Well, that is front page news. Thank you, Morgan. Thank you. All right. In the next hour, we will talk about, uh, don't order anything from China right now. It's not going to get to us. So I'll tell you more. All right.

Starting with Microsoft where I had monomaniacal focus, giving up weekends and vacation wasn't some big sacrifice. I loved it. I've always underestimated how incredible my father was. He would say, hey, I'm sorry I worked so hard. And I'd say, no, no, that was fine. I feel lucky that he lived as long as he did. It brings tears to my eyes because he was incredible.

I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK-47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened, and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls, and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community and I made my way back.

This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps. Listen to Krems as part of the Michael Loura Podcast Network available on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning everybody.

It's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get to Jess with the mess. Don't do no lying. Don't do no lying. Get your game, talk your face. She don't spare nobody. She don't spare nobody. Get your game, talk your face. Worldwide Jesper. Worldwide Mezzan. Get your game, talk your face. She don't spare nobody.

On the Breakfast Club. She's a coacheship. She was able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see. It's time to set it on. So was this the interview that everybody was waiting for, the moment that we all waited for, for this full interview with Justin LeBoy and Kanye West to drop? Who was waiting for the moment that we all waited for for this full interview with Justin LeBoe and Kanye West to drop who was waiting for it?

This like like a third one right big thing. This is like their second or third interview I feel like more so people were because Drake hasn't like Surfacing like said too much since all of the Kendrick stuff, especially because the Grammys just happened. Everybody popped off singing a minor Kendrick won all those awards. I think people more so are like, Oh shoot, you know what I mean? Now the interview you're talking about and for context, when Drake was in Australia, his first tour stop on a tour that he's on right now, he came out. He had a holy shirt came out. He came not came out like that. But like he came out on the stage. he had holes in his shirt, smoke behind him and he talked about not being dead because of that interview. Now let's take a listen

to what I think sparked that. Let's take a listen to Kanye and Justin LaBoe talk about the Kendrick and Drake beef. Well, one thing is like with Kendrick, I was like, man, you killed my nemesis. Where's the movies if it ain't no Drake? For for me. It's like so Kendrick killed Drake He's dead. Yeah for now, you know You can't you can't ever count out Steph Curry is that I'm in my hit 200 points in in one You know song or something, you know Drake added something to the algorithm to our frequency He advanced us future advances and our Kendrick has now

advanced the frequency it's like if you rap against Kendrick you will lose oh this man does this it's a difficult task but perhaps it's something yes I'm a psycho genius so there you have it do not rap against Kendrick Lamar unless you're a psycho genius unless you're a psycho genius like me. Unless you're a psycho genius like Ye. Kendrick will wash Kanye West in every single way. Knock it off, Ye. He want him to come his way so bad. No, he don't. I think he want that. He want, he been, he been, this is the second time he to poke the bear. He tried it before when he tried to jump on the, um, on songs. How many writers Ye got? Cause Ye got a bunch of writers that help him. I don't care how many writers got. By the way, there's nobody having that

conversation except for him and Justin. Justin probably the only person gapping them up like, yeah, you can get with Kendrick. Knock it off. You better leave. Kendrick will wipe his ass with Kanye West. You better leave K-Dada alone. Leave K-Dada alone. Please.

And before a Drake battle, I would have said that. Kendrick, you don't want no smoke with Kendrick on no microphone. Cut it out. Well, so that conversation happened. Now, granted, this full audio and context came out last night, but this was previewed at their Grammy party that Kanye had. So people were recording this. So this has been on the internet for some time,

way before last night when Drake came out in Australia. So then you hear him say, oh, Drake is dead now because of Kendrick. So then Drake makes this grand entrance and he has a speech that he says at the opening night in Australia. Let's take a listen to Drake on tour. In case you didn't know what you were coming to tonight.

My name is Drake. I started doing music in 2008. I come all the way from Toronto Canada. The year is now 2025. And no matter what, Drizzy Drake is very much alive and that's all thanks to you. So Drake on stage says he is very much alive. He didn't have to say that. Oh people are saying he's so extra.

I wouldn't pay Kanye no mind. That's what you gotta do. You can't pay him any mind at all. That's how he just goes away. I think he more bothered by just Kendrick in general and Kanye threw some more attention on it. He walked out with holes in his shirt and smoke. Have a song. Drake had to stop playing the victim role man. You know how he does that thing where him and Chubbs walk out every tour, every concert.

They walked out, there was smoke, he had holes in his shirt, I don't know if it was just fashion. It was given. By Rachel's love to play the victim role. It was given, I'm revived. Drake, listen, Drake gotta stop playing the victim role. None of them guys can play the victim role. It was friendly rap competition.

J. Cole said on first person shooting, he felt like Muhammad Ali. Drake said he felt like the goat. Kendrick said, it's not the big three, it's just big me. And Kendrick proved it. He got one more week. He just gotta live through one more week. And then it'll start to calm down.

No it won't. Yes it will. It's gonna get worse after the Super Bowl. After the Super Bowl performance. This guy just went five for five for a diss record against you. Right. But then it's the Super Bowl.

And then there's nothing else after that for a long time. You know y'all been saying that for eight months. I know like him, people are hoping that that that we knew the title wave just goes away. No Like you who victim like cut it out you were you and that man with up y'all win head up He shoot you in the back right y'all wait head up. He had holes on the front too. Oh you did. Yeah, okay? Super Bowl gonna reinvent it for a little bit of time like I don't know when he comes back But I don't know got one more week just won't need a couple of holes in the sweatshirt Well, I'm switching gears here. This is a comes back but I don't know. Got one more week. You won't need a couple more hoes and a sweatshirt after that.

Well I'm switching gears here. This is a sadder story. It's a report. This is so right now there are rumors and alleged reports circulating that Irv Gotti who I know is a friend to the room is currently on life support. Now this from what is being alleged is because of a stroke that he had that left him on the life support situation. And there have been a couple of people that have like, you know, just spoke out and just

are sending him prayers right now. We don't have details. We don't have confirmation of anything. But we do know that like, Russell Simmons posted and talked about, you know, he spoke to her not too long ago and gave him the number to a person that he wanted him to talk to about his health. He agreed that he needed the attention. He promised that he would come, I think, come over to the resort that – Darrell Bock In Bali?

Keefah Jackson Yeah, to Bali where Russell Simmons is and a lot of people go there for like health and wellness and undergo some tests and begin like natural and medical treatments. So he said that, I promised him if he came that he would, you know, get better. So obviously Irv has been dealing with some stuff and we know that the last time we saw him, it was when he was walking on that cane and there were reports about a stroke then. So Russell Simmons and a few other people are sending some love.

We're sending love and just praying for the best. Absolutely. Help his wealth, man. Take care of yourself, people. And we were talking, me and Shalom were talking. He's like, Irv is one of those ones. Like Mike Geronimo, Ja Rule, Ashanti, DMX, he was the one that helped DMX in his career.

Even Jay-Z helped Jay in his career when he was needed. Produce Cannot Live. So he's definitely one of those ones. He resurrected Def Jam. Yeah, he sure did. DJ from Korea, DJ Irv. So definitely send him prayers. A lot of prayer warriors gather around and send it up for him.

Absolutely. All right. Well, that was Jess with The Mess. Thank you. Thank you, Lauren. Now when we come back, Morgan's going to be joining us and then Wendy Williams is going to be checking in, so don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club.

Sign up today for a free 30 day trial at audible.com. Morning everybody, it's DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast

Club. Let's get in some front page news. Morgan, what's up? Listen, have you ever ordered something and you know it was being shipped from China and you know it takes a little while, right? Well, right now I would just suggest don't order anything from China right now you know we got the tariffs and stuff going on so United States Postal Service is no longer accepting packages from China or Hong Kong as of Tuesday the USPS released a statement saying they are suspending international package

acceptance from China and Hong Kong Post until further notice. Now letters and flat envelopes will still be accepted. The news comes after President Trump announced a 25% tariff on China and after China imposed retaliatory tariffs of their own. Yes, China is slapping tariffs on some US products in retaliation for President Trump's enactment. Now Beijing said overnight that it will charge extra tariffs on 15% on coal and liquefied

natural gas along with 10% on crude oil, farm equipment and some cars starting next week. Over the weekend of course Trump signed 10% tariffs on China in addition to existing 25% tariffs that already applied in his first term. So what do you guys think about that? Them shan packages, them Fashion Nova packages, they not coming up. And T-Mobile, damn. That happened during Trump's first administration though.

Like we forget that because COVID happened, but right before COVID it was exactly the same thing. So you know. So how long this rate be though? Why, we will. When the last time you ordered from T-Mobile. Not T-Mobile, we will. What are you from Timo? Not Timo, but fashion over. She's fashion.

Which one is it? Fashion over. I order from all of them, but I ordered fashion over like yesterday. But they said just the United States Post Office. What about is there other ways to get it here besides just to know what? You know what? It does say that the US Postal Service is no longer accepting packages. So maybe if you have like DHL or something else that you don't have,

I'm going to look into that one for you guys. Yeah, because I have like that's where I get my I get my product from China, too. So we're talking about. Hey, hey, hey, I want to look into that. I have an update on the plane crash, helicopter crash here in Washington, D.C. All 67 victims in last week's deadly mid-air collision in D have been recovered. Officials confirmed the news on Tuesday. An American Airlines plane collided with an Army Blackhawk

helicopter causing both to fall in the Potomac River. The cockpit and tail of the regional jet were recovered earlier in the day. The crash was the deadliest in the US since 2011. Meanwhile the investigation continues into the plane crash of the medical jet that was in northeast Philly as well that killed seven people on Friday night. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says investigators should be able to determine why the jet crashed just moments after takeoff. And Philadelphia Mayor Sherrell Parker also weighed in on the commentary saying the crash

could have been much more devastating. Let's hear from those officials. Even though this crash was so devastating, there are remains, whether it's the engines, the wings, that they can look at and get answers to what took place here. When you look through the footage and you think about what could have been, had a gas line been hit. Yeah, so the black box has been recovered from the plane and officials say at least 24 people on the ground

were injured for Remain Hospital and two are critical. Among those injured in that incident was a young boy named Trey Howard who most recently woke up after having surgery. Now the 10 year old boy was injured by a piece of debris that was struck, hit his head and stuck in his head as he was shielding and protecting his little sister. Now, Trey's father, Andre, says he was out picking up donuts

with his kids when the jet crashed. The child was rushed to the hospital where he did go, he underwent emergency surgery. He is awake and recovering and even talking and he heard that he's a celebrity. So shout out to Trey Howard. And he's also been deemed a hero for protecting his sister. You know, I get what they're saying about how things could have been worse. But when a crash kills everybody involved, there is zero reason to say things could have been

worse because that's as bad as it gets for all of those families who had to hear that you know one of their people got killed in that plane crash. Yeah I get what she was trying to say if it would have hit a power line more people would have been dead but like you said everybody died. This is as bad as it could possibly get right now. This is bad. It's bad enough period. You're right. Right.

And speaking of which let's switch gears to LA. The LA fires wildfires have officially been contained, but California's largest home insurer is asking state officials for an emergency rate hike that averages 22% state farm general claims of Los Angeles County fires have a have had a significant impact on its ability to continue operating in California state farm said they received at least 8,700 claims and have paid more than $1 billion to customers, adding that it expects to pay out even more. The company is asking for rate hikes of 38%

for rental dwellings and 15% for tenants with those rates taking effect on May 1st. So it's like you give them a little bit of a- That's not fair. That's not right. I'm like, you give it a little bit of wiggle room to recover and then by the way, your rates gonna go up. But StateFox on Monday that the request is necessary to rebuild its capital base.

That's not fair. No, because people that's been paying homeowners insurance has never used it ever in their life. And now, you know, it's a gamble that they take, right? Because there's a lot of times people don't never use their homeowners insurance and still have to pay. But now you're saying, okay, all this insurance that people have been paying, you don't have the money to pay these people out. And they're saying, well, now you got to pay a 20.

That's not right. That is that is not right. And imagine. Well, not to say like this, imagine being impacted, but imagine not being impacted and still having to, you know, it's just like across the board is just terrible. So but yeah, I'll keep you guys posted as to everything that's happening on the front page. That's your front page news, I'm Morgan Wood.

Wendy Williams is checking in. She has an update of what's going on with her, so we're gonna talk to her next. You know what's interesting? Wendy wants to talk about that lawsuit that is being filed against Lifetime and A&E. Okay. That's what she wants to talk about.

You know, her guardian filed a lawsuit against Lifetime and A&E saying that Wendy wasn't in her right mind to sign that contract. Which makes no sense because she was the guardian at the time she signed the contract. But she'll talk about it. All right, we'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club, good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Well, I mean, you and I've known each other for a long time, you know what I'm saying? Yes. And we've got good money. Isn't there such thing to you as blood money, like money you don't want, you don't care what amount of money it is.

I can remember a check you had to write when we worked together at WBLS and you put that on the check you put for blood money. Thank you. Oh my god. Oh my god. You didn't approve that you had the right to check and you put for blood money so you've been pretty consistent about this your whole life. Thank you.

Thank you. Well look I'm dealing with these court people and my guardian person and that is the big deal so you know what I don't have frontal temporal dementia you know what I'm saying it's disgusting that is a very rare thing for anybody to have you understand what I'm saying it's like one of those types of things where I'd be a blibbering idiot like I can't take a shower I can't dress myself. I can't speak. I can't listen. I can't Like I can't well when who dressed you when you was in the window for that TMZ doc cuz that was nice

You had the black cat suit on with the wig and the well, excuse me. Excuse me That was me doing for myself You you know what I'm saying? With a few bits of clothing that I got from storage, you know what I'm saying? But you know what? It's real. I'm on the fifth floor and you know the fifth floor, as I told you, this is called the memory unit. It is for the people who live here that I guess don't remember anything at all.

And I've seen the people, you know, when I order lunch, you know what I'm saying? And they're not bad people, you know, they're older. And I don't care if they're my age group, you know what I'm saying? Clearly, like who are these people? Why am I here? You know what I'm saying?

And by the way, as I told you before, you know, to take the elevator, it's a locked unit on the fifth floor, you know what I'm saying? The memory unit floor. Literally, I do everything in the bedroom you know there's a gym to work out here and I have yet for my guardian person to make this person or whatever whatever so I can work out Sabrina Morrissey is her name she can't even go to the gym. Well, yes. You know, in the meantime, I am not incapacitated.

I am not a baby. You know what I'm saying? But I guess, I guess for Lifetime A&E, I stand to win all that money, so I'm supposed to be a blubbering idiot. You know what I'm saying? So what you're saying, Wendy, is the lawsuit that was filed by Sabrina Morrissey

acting in her capacity as your guardian, she bought a lawsuit against A&E Annie and it claimed that the contract the company broke with to shoot the documentary wasn't valid since you didn't have the legal or mental capacity to authorize your participation in the title at the time. Listen, I have to tell you something about my life. You know what I'm saying? And Charlamagne, you've known me for a long enough time.

You know what I'm saying? I haven't had liquor in years now Yes, you know who doesn't who doesn't go through problems in their life, you know divorce This that the third, you know, and then I said all of a sudden I got involved with this guardianship person a judge attorney Like my life has been... Hold on though, Wendy, one thing at a time. Sabrina Morrissey... Okay, no, let me, okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, let me just, let me just address one important thing, okay?

I have been liquor-free for years, and listen, it is not a big deal when somebody around me, you know what I'm saying, enjoys what they enjoy, you know what I'm saying? But that is not for me. You want to know why? Because I want to be sharp and tight, you know what I'm saying? Because when I get out of this guardianship Ah, I don't even want to go into it, but I've already told you about it. Charlamagne. Yes, you do. How I feel Yes, and the way I'm gonna move. You said you want a date and f***. Oh my god. No, no, aside from that. I mean, please. I think you talk about the business stuff. And by the way.

And just enjoy your life, Wendy? Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. I want to be in a lovely relationship with one person forever. In order to do that, you have to date. You have to date a lot. But that's not what I'm talking about so much, though. Listen, I've been in this guardianship for this long of a amount of time and now any lifetime this lawsuit, please I don't want that. I don't want a dime from that. I don't want any part of that

You know what I'm saying? They insist on me telling everybody that I have frontal temporal dementia You know Robbie Kaplan went on TMZ and talked about it. Now I love TMZ, you know what I'm saying? And I'm watching and they're talking about me and I'm like, oh my God, this person, Robbie Kaplan, is saying that, oh my gosh, that Wendy has good days and bad days and when she's this.

And like, excuse me, frontal temporal dementia is a very, very serious thing and very rare, I might add. How dare? Like of all the things that you come up with, you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. All right, we have more with Wendy Williams when we come back. Don't move.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DEJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lorne LaRosa is hanging with us as well and we're still kicking in withilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lorna Rose is hanging with us as well. And we're still kicking in with Wendy Williams. Charlamagne?

I was looking at these court documents and the one thing that stood out to me is said because there is no single diagnostic test for FTD, the frontal dementia, the process for diagnosing it on average takes more than three years from the disease's onset. How can they keep saying you have it when it takes three years to diagnose?

Well, they've taken away my phone, so I can't scroll stuff on my phone to learn about things, you know what I'm saying? I have enough my phone, this woman has my phone. You know, this woman has my life basically, you know what I'm saying? And by the way, I told you where I am, it goes between, like, I told you where I am, it goes between like I told you where I'm living, correct?

Yes. Okay, I don't want to go over that. It's very expensive, you know. But you know, this whole thing about frontal temporal dementia is ridiculous and I don't want this lawsuit. I don't want it at all. I want to shout out though to the people at Lifetime, you know, I've been in business with them before, you know, to say I did a couple of things there. They're good people to me and I would love to do business with them again. So you did. This is not about Lifetime.

So when you. It's about these two people. So you're basically saying Sabrina it's not true that you didn't have the legal or mental capacity to authorize you did have the legal or mental capacity to authorize your participation in title. They just told you that it would be positive and beneficial to you. Excuse me. And you want to know what?

And don't forget about the black man. You know the black man's name. William. Will. Will Selby. Yes. Oh my God. Will Selby is like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Like really well. So you don't want the lawsuit against lifetime because you didn't sign, you signed, you signed it knowing what you were signing. No, I didn't know what I was signing. I guess, I guess. You know what, it was so long ago, there were so many people in the apartment from Lifetime, A&E, Lifetime, you know, there's so many people in my apartment, there were so many people when we were going out, there were a lot of people and I was, you know, belonged for the ride because I'm the star. You know what I'm saying? Got you.

So when she began, because A&E is saying that you were not mentally incapacitated when you signed the agreement for the documentary that they did, but then Sabrina came out and said that they were taking advantage of you because you couldn't make any of your own business decisions. Like what was their conversation that Sabrina had with you before she filed her like the claims claims? What was that about? Did you tell her you didn't want the lawsuit? I don't know anything about Sabrina as far as that. Like I said, I only know about that person when we watched it together on TV. She was never a part of this. I always said to myself, well, what does a guardian do for me other than keep my money safe? Allegedly. Well at this point... I'm talking about money allegedly because now you know

my guardian person is represented by this expensive law firm right? Did I talk to you about this Charlamagne? I don't think so. Well I don't think you have to get into all of that but you the moral of the story is you Excuse me, excuse me, but it's my money It's my money that my guardian is using for regarding this lawsuit and my money is slowly I guess dwindling away I have no idea. You know what I'm saying? My wallet is Pleaded with a few dollars you understand. Well, I've been in this situation for over three years I was about to say that Wendy according to reports you were put into the conservatorship May with a few dollars, you understand? Now I've been in this situation for over three years. I was about to say that, Wendy, according to reports,

you were put into the conservatorship May 2022. So if that, you know, front temporal dementia takes three years, right now, it would be really difficult for you to, you know, distract this conversation you're having with us, because that, it's 2025. It's a very serious and rare disease, frontal temporal dementia.

If you call it a disease, I have no idea. Yeah, it feels like when you signed this contract for the show, you knew you was participating in the show, you just didn't know that they was going to make you look the way that they made you look. And out of that she- Listen, listen, listen. It was only one time, you know, and we were at, you know, a court thing, you know what I'm saying? And they were talking about it and they were talking about, you know, a court thing, you know what I'm saying? And they were talking about it

and they were talking about, you know, and I said, oh, what are you talking about? I would win what, $1 million? And I was told, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know what I'm saying? You mean when you said- And I didn't ask how much, because it didn't matter, you know what I'm saying?

When it was- At first I was like, well, okay, I guess. But quickly, you know, like the day later, I'm like, no, I don't want that. I don't want that. And I'll continue to say, I don't want that. I don't want the lawsuit. I don't want to be a part of it.

You know, if my guardian person wants money from her, then she can do the suing on her behalf and she can be the one to get the money. Not me, it is blood money. I don't want it. So once again, Wendy, they had, she's saying you didn't have the legal or mental capacity to authorize your participation.

You're saying you did. And that you met one time and after that you changed your mind? Correct, correct. And by the way, and by the way, you know, like I said, I don't with Lifetime several times, you know what I'm saying? Yep. In that sense, I would love to do something with Lifetime again. They are good people to me, and I'm good people to them.

Absolutely. All right, we have more with Wendy Williams when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's the EJNV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren La. Morning everybody is DJ NV Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa is here with us as well. And we're still kicking it with Wendy Williams. Charlamagne.

Are you going to be able to go see your father? Well, I thought that I was and now it is, I don't want to talk about that. Okay. Okay. If you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I got you. It's not definite anymore? Yes, excuse me. Yeah, sorry. But I do say that, you know,

I want to shout out to some people who've been very good to me. Okay. Including Charlamagne specifically, but, and Lauren, you too. But listen, it is about Harvey Levin at TMZ. You know, Charlamagne, you and I have talked with Harvey and that spectacular thing starring me happens next Wednesday, the 12th.

February 12th. It's on Tubi. Yep, on Tubi. Yes, you know, we have Jess hilarious here. She's a Tubi star. In the breakfast club. Are you? Yes. She's been in a lot of movies on Tubi. In the breakfast club come on Tubi.

Wow. Yeah. Thank you, Wendy. Wow. It's not about me. I also want to give good talk to, because I love my attorney. My attorney is Sabatu, I don't want to say the wrong last name. Sabatu. Sabatu. Simmons. Sabatu Simmons?

You brought in a new attorney. No, not Simmons. That's Russell Simmons. No Sabatu Salmon. Salmon? Okay. No Salmon yeah. So that's your new attorney? Oh yes and she is a good woman to me. Okay okay well good so so by So, by the way, she also told me, now Wendy, you know that frontal temporal dementia, what in the world? You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I don't understand the diagnosis of frontal temporal dementia because literally in your court papers it says there is no single diagnostic test for FTD and the process for

diagnosing FTD on average takes more than three years from the diseases onset. So they have it hasn't even been enough time for them to properly test you for that yet. So I don't know why they're going around saying that you have that. And how do you get that? Like how do you get that? Like what do you go through? I don't even know about it. I can't even I can't even Google it. I can't even scroll it through my through my phone. I don't have anything. What they say was they say for you it was alcohol induced. Well I was talking about that and you know what? I don't know anything about that specifically

but I do know that yes, you know what I'm saying? Who doesn't drink wine that turns into vodka at times in your life, you know what I'm saying? But I can tell you 100% you can test me anytime you want, I'm saying but I can tell you 100% you can test me anytime you want I am alcohol free and listen I think I am NOT part of that people who oh my gosh people who drink liquor oh I hate them it's not that I hate them at all you know what I'm saying it's it's my thing that I care to take care of it on my own behalf you know

what I'm saying did they have to test retest you when you hired the new lawyer? Because they were saying that something that helped you. Do they have to do what? Did they retest you for your health or anything when you decided to hire the new lawyer? Oh no no no. I actually had, she was like a co-attorney you know what I'm saying. So I fired the main attorney you know what I'm saying the other day you know what I'm saying? So I fired the main attorney, you know what I'm saying? The other day, you know what I'm saying? So you saw that on TV. I fired her. Yeah, and so I'm stepping into attorney position is

Yeah, yeah, they were black woman and I told you, you know We reported on it Wendy and they were what I was what I was told was that the judge might ask just to get the retesting Just to make sure that when you're making these decisions about your attorney you know what you're doing but I was saying that that would help you that's what me and Jess were talking about if they did do that. Yeah. Because I didn't know if that came up. No my attorney is very good to me Sadat Salami.

Got you. Yeah. She's a very good attorney she's been very good to me you know what I'm saying because I don't know all the intricacies even after all these years you know what I'm saying? Because I don't for you to get your messaging out. And you know, I love when you call up because I think people are reminded of how erratic you are when you talk. So you're all over the place. So this has nothing to do with anything other than Wendy Williams being Wendy Williams.

Yeah, but it's disgusting that I have a fake frontal temporal dementia. It's fake. Yeah, especially if somebody's trying to file a lawsuit on your behalf and they're using that to try to win this lawsuit against Andy, which you say you don't want no parts of the lawsuit. Exactly.

Wow. Well. By the way, by the way, Charlamagne, in the window, how does my liposuction and breast implant look? Ah. You look tight. That's why I say you say you're not working out. You look tight.

You were snatched up, baby. Thank you. Listen, listen, when look tight. You were snatched up, baby. Thank you. Listen, listen, when I saw through the window, you know, on TMZ, I was like, damn, you know what I'm saying? I wish my bangs weren't so down, but you know what, it wasn't. It was the window and I had to look down to talk.

You know what I'm saying? And you couldn't see my whole body. You know what I'm saying? So you could have, you should have stood up on the, and you know, pulled the wig forward so we could see. Listen, listen. 29 years ago I got that done for me. Liposuction and breast implants. Wow. Just saying. And they still see it. Yeah. People be having that every 10 years. Yeah. No. Listen. Alright. So everybody. Oh, you know what I'm talking about Wendy real quick.

You know what I want to tell you? I was talking to Cardi B yesterday and she said that when you come home she wants to introduce you to some people because you know you just mentioned a couple of things you know as far as getting a little nip tucking her in there she was like she wanted to introduce you to some people so you know you can get real right so you can be back on these streets and find a man. Listen let me tell you something Cardi B is my person of interest you know to say I love me from Cardi you something. Cardi B is my person of interest, you know what I'm saying?

Yes, and she just won a Grammy this past Sunday. And she reenacted that scene and everything. Who was the DJ she had in there with her, Lauren? It was Dolphine. I wanna see this man. I was back and forth watching that on TV.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, I was back and forth watching that. Okay. We love you, Wendy. But, but I, I listen, I, I love the people are rooting for me and not everybody is rooting for me. Some people want to see me fail, but I will not fail. I will always win as long as I've got great people on my side and me, myself and I. Absolutely. And Ms. Milan is her name. Dolce and Ms. Milan recreated the Wendy Williams experience for that video, for the Denial is a River video.

Wow. How creative. That's right. So the young girls, you know, you were influenced on them too. Listen, I love that. I love that.

But one night, a new door opened and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost,

I found hope with community and I made my way back. This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps.

But that ain't mean that he wasn't going to watch the game, especially since he knew all these people. I mean, why wouldn't you go just cuz Kendrick come performing. Mmm. Well, let's take a listen to Wayne and what he said

Yeah, I know I'm not gonna be there this week Which means I guess there's a seat to feel Shout out to New Orleans, but I Been working on something very special. I got something exciting coming for you Thursday the 6th till then I'm just chilling why are folks trying to step on the moment because I think he felt like he had to respond because people did think that he was gonna be a special guest performer of Kendrick's I don't think anybody thought

that I never really thought it. I heard it, but I never really thought that was going to happen. There has been conversation. So I think he felt like he had to shut down the rumors. Well, I wouldn't do that if I was Wayne. I wouldn't want to be a special guest on Kendrick's set just because it's in New Orleans. I'm still a little Wayne-y. And if you got something going on on the six, what that got to do with the knife?

Exactly. I don't know what you're talking about. He's trying to step on Kendrick's moment. It's corny, man. Cut it out. Well, in other news, so there have been, since the last time we talked about it, there have been some new Diddy reports. So this is one of them. So more accusers have come out, a couple Jane Doe's, a couple John Doe's, but specifically,

and even before that, Diddy was actually taken to the hospital in the middle of the night as well, too, a couple days ago, for something with his knee. He had had a knee surgery before. His knee? Yes, he had knee surgery before all of this stuff happened, so I guess maybe he was in pain. So his knee hurt, and they just take him to the hospital? That's what they're saying.

Take him out of the jail? But they had to take him out of the jail in the middle of the night to another facility, which normally to me says something else is going on, like some more serious but you know doing dependent speaking of there's a John Doe accuser who says that did he forced him in a new lawsuit did he forced him to coat his body with baby oil before sexually assaulting him oh god I'm not mature enough for these kind of conversations. He forced him.

How big is this dude? What? I don't know if his weight is listed in this new lawsuit, but this guy- Because you oiled yourself up, you were forced by little Diddy to oil yourself up. He might be a little bulky though because he says that him and Diddy's relationship goes back to 2007. He was working as an adult, this is the back to 2007. He was working as an adult. This is the John Doe.

He was working as an adult entertainer in Las Vegas. And he says that Diddy used to hire him for, you know, like come and dance and strip at, I guess, different parties that he was having or something. But he says, okay, all right, because you already be doing. Okay, so he's a dancer. So dancers be oily already. That's a part of what you do. Well he says when the oil got introduced, when the baby oil got introduced, that's when

him and Diddy's relationship was left. What? I'm a strip for you but the moment you put on some oil it's over. But to your point they already be glistening anyway. Yeah I ain't never seen no dry ass dancer. Well, he says that after applying the baby oil, he would become sleepy, disoriented, confused, exhausted, drowsy, weak, sluggish, and numb. The baby oil was spiked. That's what they're saying. But you know, remember in the indictment, like in the indictment, when that all first happened, people were trying to say that they found like baby oil that was spiked with stuff, which the prosecutors didn't confirm that,

but that was like a rumor or whatever. I was going to say, I never heard that. It was mentioned in one of the lawsuits, but it was just like in conversation. It wasn't an allegation, but this is an allegation. He's saying that that is what happened to him when the baby oil was put on him. He said this happened to the point where he would have to unknowingly comply to things that in Diddy's demands and he was essentially coerced into different sexual acts. He says in several counters Diddy squirted large amounts of baby oil onto his skin coating

his- Why you laughing? Stop laughing. I know, this is crazy. Have some maturity about you man. He kept paralyzing him every time he moved he would like squirt some- Diddy squirted large amounts of baby oil onto the man's skin- Jesus. Jesus. Every time you move to the square did large amounts of baby oil onto the man's skin holding his body so heavily in the substance

That he could chicken that it would be false Canola oil on them. Oh, no lightly coat that dog meat with that oil create a nice seer Continue on among the sex acts that did he allegedly course this dancer to do While performing drowsy and confused. He says that it would be masturbation. Oh, wait, can I say you could say masturbation intercourse and intercourse with Diddy's female companions and ejaculation on the woman's body or her mouth. Get it off your chest. The guy claims that Diddy will often closely monitor to ensure he was penetrating the woman

by putting his face next to their genitals. And he also claims that Diddy once rubbed the man's... Can't say that. Rubbed the man's... Yeah, just say yeah. What? The S word. I can say that.

What comes out of the man's... It sounds like he executive producing. Oh, okay. Can't rub it out. It sounds like Diddy executive producing. It sounds like he in the studio. He says that he would rub it on the woman's... that did he would rub it on the woman's body and then Lick it off the woman's body

Wait a minute. What happened to the man? So it's coming up No, no, no, I'm not saying that He was in a man's go-stories What comes out of the man, he's using the glaze He's using the man's glaze To glaze the woman According to this man, he licks it Off of. Okay, this is a little too much of the woman. This is getting

a little too far. And the docs, the man says that he always believed he would be able to resist by any sexual advances going into different encounters. But he says he found himself unable to do so once did he applied the baby oil to his body. He claims that this led on for years in what a lot of empty promises that he said he would make a music star and he blackmailed him with videos of the different encounters. The guy says he finally worked up the courage to file a lawsuit after Cassie sued Diddy and the mogul was arrested. His attorney Lisa Bloom says she's very proud of her client and this is a new case but this

case will not rest until justice is served. I know y'all be all lie saying people be glazing, eating the glazes crazy. Crazy. Crazy. My God. Yes. Licking, allegedly. Whatever.

But yo. It's in his mouth, whatever you want to put it, pause. This is just so weird. Allegedly. Allegedly this went on for years. Allegedly. So allegedly this went on for years. Yes.

And Diddy is denying these claims in a statement he 90s claims and because you wanted to do music this bit right you know what I mean this is that this is my this is with bad boys come out of yeah you know we had to do a remix right? Now you know hey you told me to be mature. I know I told you from the beginning I'm not mature enough for this conversation. Well yeah, I mean he wanted, it was the mixtape, the album, he wanted something to come out. Damn, he came out. He got a song? He got it?

No, I don't know what, he said it was Empty Promises. He never had it. You just told us what came out and Diddy allegedly ate it. Okay. We're making donuts. This is crazy. That's weird, for years, for years all you got was donuts. You gotta make the donuts Jess. That's wild. You have to make the donuts all you got was donuts. You gotta make the donuts, Jess.

That's wild. You have to make the donuts. We're making the donuts right now. I'm done, Jess, I'm done. Thank you, Lord. You have to make the donuts. That was disgusting. I just wanted to let you know.

Can't wait to see where this case goes. I enjoyed it, Lord. I can never eat a glazed donut ever again. Me too. Talk about his knee hurt now. You know? Yeah, all right. The fact that you got me thinking,

On The Breakfast Club. In the words of Charlamagne LeGarde, he's a donkey, that's what I mean. He ain't got a **** in his heart. Don't throw it home. Oh man, Charlamagne, you giving Donkey the day to who now? Well Busta Rhymes, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, February 5th goes to Raymond Arroyo.

Raymond is an American author, journalist and producer who appeared on Fox this week, Fox News to discuss all things Grammys. Now let the record show this is one of the best Grammys I've seen in a long time. Drop on the clues button for the Grammys this year. Personally to me, all right, to me, they got a lot right. Rhapsody winning best melodic rap performance for 3AM with Queen Erykah Badu, Dochi winning best rap album for Alligator Bites Never Healed, Kendrick Lamar going 5 for 5 for the greatest diss record of all time, Not Like Us, and of course Beyonce winning best country album and album of the year. Now there's debates you know about all of these people and all of these

different awards that were won and who should have won and why. I saw people saying Dochi is an industry plant. People think the Grammys gave Kendrick all those awards despite Drake. And of course, Beyonce winning best country album was gonna piss some people off. And Raymond is one of those people because he was on Laura Ingraham's show on Fox

and he had this to say, let's listen. Now, what do you make of that legendary country artist, Beyonce winning for best country album? I i would put this in some context lor dolly parton has ten grammys frank sinatra eleven grammys beyonce has thirty five how is that possibly if commensurate with that talent i mean come on

that what people don't know about the grammys is everybody votes in every genre you can vote in up to 20 genres. So basically Lady Gaga's cat sitter votes for best reggae and best country album. So that's why you get this ridiculous outcome that has nothing to do with the country audience or the country musician. That's not true. Only people in the music industry vote for the Grammys. But Raymond, if you don't feel Beyonce should win best country album, fine.

Okay, maybe you thought Post Malone F1 was better. Maybe you thought Laney Wilson whirlwind was better. Maybe you thought Chris Stableton higher was better. I don't know. But for you to sit up there and attempt to rain on Beyonce's black parade and hate on her for having 35 Grammys is utterly ridiculous. Okay, once again, that's your opinion. But listen to the context of what he said. Dolly Parton has 10 Grammys, Frank Sinatra had 11 Grammys, Beyoncé has 35. How does that possibly, what did he say, commensurate with the talent? What did he say? I can't remember the word he used, but basically how does her talent equate to 35 Grammys?

Because she's talented, okay? Now, you don't have to love Beyoncé. You don't even have to like her music, but one thing you cannot deny is her talent. Okay, Dolly Parton and Frank Sinatra are incredible talents, legends, icon living, well icons, ones living, but neither one of them have been dancing in stiletto since the age of 12. Okay, also neither one of them are verbs.

What do you mean Uncle Sharla, neither one of them are verbs. Beyonce is a verb, well to be clear, because my mother is an English teacher, she is a proper noun. Okay, Beyonce is a proper noun that is often used as a verb. You can say various things to people like, you ain't Beyonce. To remind folks, you're not excellent, you're not as fly as you think you are. Use it in the sentence Charlamagne.

Why are you following zero people on Instagram? You're not Beyonce. My point is Raymond, Dolly Parton herself has praised Beyonce's work Dolly Parton is on cowboy Carter Okay, remember what Dolly said about Beyonce on eNews about? Eight months ago listen Beyonce covering Joe I know What are your thoughts on her version? Well, I think it was very bold of her, but I love what she did to it I was very bold of her, but I love what she did to it. I was very proud of her album

I thought she did a great job in country music, and I thought it was great, and I was just happy she did Jolene Listen Raymond It's not apples and oranges, okay You got to dig a little deeper on who is voting for Grammys and how they come to these conclusions And if you mad at the voters now, oh, you'd have been pissed off even more back then because you mentioned Frank Sinatra. You know the year he had two number one albums.

He only won one Grammy and was nominated for five. And you know what he won for? His album cover. Okay. That's crazy. His album cover. Not his music. Look it up.

He won his first Grammy in 1959 for Only the Lonely. And he won for the cover. On the cover he was dressed as a sad clown. Raymond you can relate. Alright now mind you in 1959 he had Only the Lonely and Come Fly with Me. He was nominated for five Grammys including album of the year but he won for his album cover. So knock it off. Raymond the Grammys are the Grammys. Sometimes they get it right sometimes they get it wrong. This year they got it absolutely right and giving Beyonce 35 Grammys over her career is absolutely the right thing to do. But usually, you know, when you voting yes for Beyonce, you are getting it right and

everyone is entitled to their opinion. But Miley Cyrus thought Beyonce should have won. I think she knows more about music than the both of us. Raymond, all I'm saying man is everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but sometimes our opinions can be wrong. Or sometimes our opinions can be rooted in hate. And Raymond, as a person who can also be an objective hater, I am an objective hater. What you are doing is hating. But I saw Whoopi Goldberg get on your ass on your view yesterday and I enjoyed what

she had to say. Let's listen She earned it the thing you have You wanna you want to hold on to country music like white people didn't also buy her country album Come on, man People voted for it. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you don't same with the Oscars. Sit down sit down She told you. Please let Chelsea Handler give Raymond Arroyo the biggest hee haw. Hee haw, hee haw. That is way too much Dan Maynaise.

Yes it is. Alright. I agree. Well thank you for that donkey today. Now when we come back TK Kirkland will be joining us. Comedian TK Kirkland. And we're going to talk to him next so don't go anywhere, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Everybody is DJ, Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Lorna Rose is hanging with us as well. We got a special guest in the building, TK Kirkland. How you doing brother? How you doing Charlamagne? Ladies, it's a pleasure. Good morning. It's a pleasure.

Good to see the beautiful women up here early in the morning. Yeah. I cannot believe you just told me you were 65 years old. Yeah, I'm an OG for real. You really look good. I'm supposed to. I mean yeah. I'm just saying. 65. You know what I'm saying. I understand what you're saying though. I understand what you're saying. Yeah, but say thank you though. My apologies. Thank you young lady. You're welcome. What's the youngest you go TK? As far as ladies the age cut off. Long as the coat ain't cheap. Hmm. I hate women with cheap coats. Okay A cheap coat is it is it's like I come fly and I'm picking you up and you got cheap. I'll leave you there Damn. Well, how long do you have to live to feel like you have a mental illness if you try to be a stepfather to somebody? Well, I'm glad you brought that up because it's not really meant to illness

There's a lot of different stories because two things could be true at the same time. You're right, right? So the thing about when I brought that question up it all depends on what man or woman is receiving that information at that time Because there are some great moments there people would raise beautiful children and stuck in the family and then there are some disasters of people who took on that responsibility and wish they had nothing to do it in their life. One story exactly important a guy

married a woman wasn't his kid he signed up to be father they got a divorce he had to pay child support for another man's child. But don't you know that guy knows when he signs, he signed the birth certificate is what you mean? Right, right. Well you know when you sign the birth certificate that that could come later down the line

if something were to happen, right? I totally agree with what you're saying, but most men when they come into a relationship think it's a great thing. Then there's some women that make you wanna just, some women just have that thing about them. You say, I'll do anything for you until you get into it. And then most some men, they come into money, they cocky,

they feel a certain way until all their money run out. And then you go, damn. I don't know how much I'm feeling you now. Exactly, because once your money gone, I had a gentleman up in Harlem, he pulled me to the side. And when he met the young lady, he was spending a lot of money. He had came into a lot of money. He was spending. After my interview, he pulled me outside. side and when he met the young lady he was spending a lot of money, he came into a lot of money, he was spending. After my interview he pulled me outside, he said, TK, I don't know what to do.

So what do you mean? He said, I was spending all this money, I was eating at all these good restaurants and I just don't have it no more. I said, she was only rocking with you because you had money? I said, that's you thinking that, she might really just like you for you. I said, you just got to take your chances But that's how most it was a young guy So that's how some of these people think so everything is just based on how he was raised the people who rock around you

And your experiences so it's not an a mental illness is just no it's not a mental By case by case by case by case situation, right? I just think when I said that at that moment right, it was just mental illness and what happened to the world is they attach on to things that are easily to argue about because nobody takes the time to take the emotion out. I always tell people listen to the story, don't put yourself in the story. What people do when they hear my stories, they put themselves in the story, don't know you. I'm just speaking for...

I don't give a damn. You said that it is a completely unnatural thing. Like you are pretending to be something that you're not. That is true though. When you go touch your advanced child... That's what I said. I was gonna say you did a sex into that too. You said it's like when a,

I forget if you said a man or a woman, but basically someone pretends to be a sex that they're not. Yeah. And here's the thing. I've got two things about that. We talked about two different things We talked about one and I talked about you and there with right? I was right and I do talk about that on stage. Yeah, so we got two things and we bring them up about mental illness Okay, we talk so would you for I think as acting you meet a child or you meet a woman she fine And I want to meet your kids you're here playing with this kid. Ain't you a child? It's my child though. You know what I'm saying? I do. My point that I'm making it comes down to choices. Yeah I love you. I'm gonna help look out for you. But nobody's never gave nobody the young kids the game and start their own legacy, their own foundation, their own line of children. Okay, I get where you're going.

That's what I mean. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm saying I'd rather for you to take the chance to risk to have your own family than to take a risk you around Thanksgiving dinner. Everybody relate except you. That's just me and I'm entitled to think that. Yeah, you are. I get where you're going. Let's just me and I'm a become a victim it was just the fact that you was it was how it was it sounded like you was describing like something like it's a conversation that needs to be talked about it no it certainly especially with the first thing that you bought up about the guy sign in the conversation because we want people to make good decisions especially young men yeah we want young men not to just

because a girl is beautiful just because this and and that. Think about the long term. Think about, and it's not against the females, it makes the female too make better choices as well to the man that she's gonna sleep with. So when I'm on stage and I'm talking my game and I'm explaining why a man over here works hard, get his life together, you know, this woman was in the Hampton Inn,

I'm giving a shit, having a good time, eating cheese eggs, her life is destroyed and they get together now together you know this one was in the And to talk about the gays I'm not against gay people. I get it now though Yeah, but I'm gonna say that's very important before I should talk about trans gyms or whatever But in actuality, I think it's brilliant what they've done How meaning for you to develop in your mind that you're something that you not and actually go through with it. Hmm It's damn it powerful. Mmm It's powerful to me because it tells me You could have been anything you wanted to be if you put your mind to it That's all I'm saying and it's not to hurt nobody, it's just my observation. You know the thing I love about TK, he is always spitting wisdom and just giving out

life lessons like you know telling people the importance of drinking water before you drink coffee in the morning. Yes, because you know I read a lot and a lot of people don't know when you if you drink coffee before you drink water The coffee destroys the enzymes in your stomach to dissolve your food Hmm, just like in the black community when our feet get dry They always say put Vaseline on it and socks and I found out that the goal is that's the wrong thing to do When your feet are dry, you you have vitamin deficiency. You have to use vitamin B3, vitamin

B9 or Omega to help with your dry feet. So all we have been talking about all these years is the surface, not saying that it's on the inside. So we got to put vitamins back into our body. Wow. That's good life lessons. Yeah, for sure. Good life lesson. Alright, we got more with TK Kirkland when we come back.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the God. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren LaRosa's hanging with us as well, and we're still kicking it with TK Kirkland. Charlamagne?

Why you ain't did Club Shashe yet, TK? Believe it or not, I got an email from Club Shashe to do that show. And- I think that'd be damn good to see you on Club Shashe. Yeah, it was gonna happen. That's like another viral finish. Believe it or not, I got an email from Club Shay-Shay to do that show. I think that'd be damn good to see you on Club Shay-Shay. Yeah, it was gonna happen. That's gonna be another violent industry. But this email was someone fraudulent.

Pretending that they was Club Shay-Shay. They have been doing that. Like, I don't know. I got an email from Angie Martinez. People's like, yo, she wants you to come up there. She right there. I know she ran right across the hallway, but still, it was like, she wanna pay you. I was like, oh, she wants you to come up there. She right there. I know she ran right across the hallway. She was like, she want to pay you. I was like, oh, she's going to pay me for everything.

Yes. And then other big platforms they have like is spam. I don't get, let me tell you something. I don't know who got that kind of time. Yeah. I don't know who has that time. Like a guy from Africa hit me. I had a little situation.

They were stealing my Instagram and social media at one time. It was happening. You can't even call and they say FaceTime, you can't do it because they got computers over there to get your face, take your voice because somebody was going around asking for money and talk about a family package and the girl said, TK they had your face. So one time when I did it, I know the guy who did it, he took a picture of my face and then he was calling people, she said, you can see you real quick and then your face was gone so I said I would never ask nobody for no money this is crazy what's

going on out here crazy yeah fake emails everything yeah so I hope to do Shae Shae um Godfrey was trying to hook me up with club Shae Shae and I think it will happen this year. But I do know also that when I get on that show, it's going to be a phenomenal show. Oh, absolutely. Your history is so rich. You got too much of a rich history. And that's why I said I would love to see you do it.

Because I like, I actually like seeing comics on that show. Yes. Because they have these long form conversation. Yes. You really get a lot out of. Right. And I'm not. And one thing about me, I don't diss nobody. So that show would truly be about knowledge and wisdom and impact in the world.

That's, that's the way I like to move. Cause when I, when I talk about Donald Trump and a lot of people don't like him, some people love him. And I was talking to my standup. I said, um, when you don't like someone like that, how did you, you got to find a way to use them and you got a person like that, how do you, you gotta find a way to use them. And you got a person like that, how do you use them? The goal to use Donald Trump is the same way

the Democrats use Donald Trump. See, a lot of people think that Democrats is against Donald Trump. And on TV they are, but in the stock market they not. Cause everybody in the stock market on the Democrats has invested in all these different companies to make them extremely rich. And you have to take the same format that they have taken. When you talk about Elon Musk, Elon Musk is not trying to be Donald

Trump's friend just because. It's a reason down the line. So if you study Elon Musk, there's some things you hear an important point. He's given a come up with Tesla cab in a couple years and it's gonna be automated, no driver. So I tell people you have a job, you can make sure your credit's good, lease one of those cars and have that car picking people up from the airport as a second income, third income. I said but your credit gotta be good. Then I tell people and I'll share it on the show, I'm gonna teach people right now how you don't need a credit specialist to get your credit good.

I'm telling people right now how I can save you thousands of dollars. Just pay the people you owe. What is this? You're going to pay me to make this shit like, what is this? You know, listening to all the tips. I believe in it. I'm like, alright. So listen, with all of the chaos Trump has caused, you think he can do some good? I've been around a long time and I'm gonna tell you what I see. I've seen this energy before. We're gonna talk about energy I've been around a long time and I'm gonna tell you what I see. I've seen this

energy before this is we're gonna talk about energy not the face energy because I'm into quantum physics. Last person I saw move like this didn't live a long time because they was moving at such rap pace they didn't know they was gonna leave here but the universe did and that was Tupac. Tupac moved at a rate of rapid speed. Both Geminis by the way, Park and Trump. I didn't know that. He's moving at a speed that tells me something's gonna bad happen.

This is my personal take on the universe. When I seen people move this way, this man has done something that takes four years and two weeks and he's just constantly going after everybody. The energy doesn't make sense because you're trying to make sense of all this right to the average person like what what is he doing? But from what I've seen there's something Bad about to happen. I don't know what it is. I don't wish no bad luck Yeah, I just seen that energy before and we'll see the only difference is a pop was doing hurt him

Yes, what Trump is doing hurts the world exactly for and we'll see. The only difference is that Pac was doing hurt him. Yes. What Trump is doing hurts the world. Exactly. Yeah. And, but we're talking about energy. His energy moved that way, right? So now you want to get deep about Trump. Setting us back 60 something years is something that

we didn't even see coming, right? And what Trump is going gonna do in this country by the time he's done with it, he's gonna finish out his four years or another four, it would take three lifetimes to get it back to where it was. That's right. That's the damage he's doing.

It would take three lifetimes. Now me personally, I'm on the other side of the hill. I'm a senior citizen. I wish you all the best. I'm a senior citizen. I wish y'all the best. You ain't going nowhere. That's a ****. Not nothing I'm saying. I'm not drinking water before coffee

and working out and shit. Nah, you hear. Good luck with y'all. I wish y'all the best. God bless you. Teen to the mother****** cake, man. He'll be in Jersey this weekend. Jersey love comedy show at the Margaret Williams Theater in Jersey City and on the 16th you'll be at Wilson's restaurant and

I'm confused. I don is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK-47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened and I made it into the rooms of recovery.

The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls, and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community, and I made my way back. This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps. Listen to Krems as part of of the Michael Luta Podcast Network.

So tell me about Cardi and Pau party being best friends. I had no idea

They went back for some time and he wrote for her new day work together I knew they was homies but I And I knew they went back for some time and he wrote for her new day work together I knew they was homies But I found out yesterday today was best friends because Cardi B had to come online and clear up some stuff because the people were Coming for her because they dropping a song on Friday, okay, and she's working a party again You know she's also team make the science. That's the thing though. What you mean again. She stopped working with him before Well people did from what we know because I think the last time people saw her work with him was way back When we ruled her earliest Yeah, and like whatever but let's take a listen to her because she has something off her chest last night

Leave me alone with that whole partisan because at the end of the day, I've been knowing partisans to 2012 partisan Did me the hook of bold-ass yellow and on top of that? He helped me with my album and I've been knowing this person since 2012 and not only he's my best friend He's my best friend key to best my best friend, he the best friend. So y'all need to stop with the bull. This is the real world, not this fake parallel world. And that's why when people be in relationships,

I be out of the way and mind my business. Because if something happened, I'm letting both of them know right now, I'm not gonna stop talking to both of them. I will talk to both of y'all. I am the child of the relationship. And I stay out of y'all. Understand am the child of the relationship and I stay out of y'all s***. Understand? You don't talk s*** to me about him and you don't talk s*** to me about her. That's how I

always give it up because at the end of the day I f*** with both of y'all and I love both of y'all. That's just what it is. So this basically her talking about Megan. Like all right I'm cool with Megan, I'm cool with Pardi. But who said that they... why is she doing it? Like somebody says... Because fans online... because P party's been posting like videos of them in the studio. I think she posted something as well. They also have like the visuals now cause they're dropping a song on Friday called Toot It.

Right. And people were like, that's fake Cardi because you so team Magda Stallion. You know what I mean? And a lot of people don't like party because of everything that happened after the breakup with Magda Stallion. Cardi and party was friends

before Meg ever came in the picture. They was working together before Meg ever came in the picture. Before she was signed. And as she said just before Cardi was signed, okay y'all want to get in a relationship, right? But if things go sour, they ain't got nothing to do with me. Yeah, like this is the real world. It's ain't that. It's not even a problem. Everybody on the internet think they know what's really going on in people's lives. Yeah. When I saw them together though, I wasn't like, oh my God, why is she working with him? I was like, oh, they're working together again.

Yeah. We know that they're dream team. I don't think they ever stopped though. That's what I'm saying. Like, you know, that was just all right Yeah, I'm glad they working together. Yeah, make great music together. Yeah, and it's speaking of we need that to drop cardi So to do it. I'm sorry. Yeah to the cool album Is it party leave his parties and party is on it Cardi said at the Grammys her album is coming I believe the name of it is Put A Bow On It. Okay. It's coming this year.

Okay. Speaking of music, Rick Ross. You guys remember here in the room the other day we talked about Rick Ross and 50 Cent and Big Meach and the whole. Yeah yeah yeah and how he should have cut his hair. What? Big Meach. She don't like Big Meach braids.

Yeah Big Meach I told her nah I don't know. They put on for you that much? Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek Meek No, no, it ain't enough. You really analyze yeah, yeah, the two braids shouldn't be skinny Okay, and the one that's fat in the middle you can't do that. Well Well, this is crazy Ross is defending his breakdown friend big meat He's saying he's saying a lot of things and in response to 50 cent calling a big meat a rat online. Let's take a listen You like a h***? Put your back against the wall and just slide down. Biggest boss, I've been separating myself from these broken n****s because they don't understand the rules to the streets. You understand don't no n**** owe you nothing homie.

Y'all get money together, y'all n**** get money, keep moving, all that extra s***. You n****s don't even have a relationship with your own brothers your own mothers and fathers How the fuck you gonna act like real close with stop all that fake cap right? Need alone come see the boss. Hey Curtis Jackson You more than welcome to bring that Versace Lamborghini to the car show June 7th and your little homies I know them **** with them **** y'all. How many parents 50 got? You ain't even the clues with your own mothers and your own fathers.

I think he talking to 50 and people that have something to say online but in my opinion. How you call 50 broke though? How do you just, it's just like you just saying stuff now. 50 gonna respond at 4 o'clock in the morning on a Friday randomly? Everybody gonna forget what happened I think anybody that says that big meat shit have loyalty to 50 in the situation I understand on people because I do think that there should have been some some sort of loyalty But I don't know behind the scenes everything that went down There's some sort of loyalty there. Yeah

Mmm, it's a part of me that kind of understand the part that he's talking about like man Look, why are you worrying about all that like the ending part of what he's saying? Yeah, like business is business a part of me understands a part of that I do understand that what they say there's no permanent friends and enemies and business just permanent interest Yeah, because this is this is the thing I understand that 50 got you know the ongoing beef with the people and all that You you understand what I'm saying? But it seems like their their transactions just business like or is he friends with big meat?

Is he friends with Terry is he friends with you know, I mean, we don't know Yeah, we don't know I was always under the impression that it was a bit more maybe but I don't know I don't know the behind the scenes. So we'll have to see what 50... Also you gotta tell 50 to give you a list. If you and 50 get cool, you gotta be like, I have 50. Oh don't you drop it. Hey give me a list. Let me know, let me see who... I think it's more of a book.

Give me the book. Right, and then after you read the book, then you should determine whether or not you wanna be friends with 50. Right, right, cause now, you know, whoever you beef with, I can't talk to you. That's right. Yeah.

Well Marcus Jordan, swinging it back to some other things we talked about here. Marcus Jordan, we know he was pulled over in Florida, DUI, they found cocaine on him, and also alleged that he was resisting arrest. The body cam footage came out, and boy, was it interesting. Let's take a listen to him being pulled over by the Maitland Police Department.

You know the trains come by right now, right? No, I know, that's why I'm trying to get the f***ing better. We thought we were making a right, land police apartment. Wrong turn I've already got concerns for your level of impairment anyways, okay, so that's why because I can smell alcohol coming from you You know train tracks. Come on man. Just listen to me. That's why I don't want you back behind the wheel anyways We'll deal with that after this okay, because I hear spinning tires. I hear slurs speech from you. You're driving on train tracks I'm not slurring anything. I'm letting you know I have concerns. I Appreciate your concern. Yeah, I don't want I'm not anything that can't drive home. Yo You got cocaine you're drunk and you're saying you're Michael Jordan son

Everybody I meet that's high and drunk with the last name Jordan says they're Michael Jordan And you got a white girl in the passenger seat laughing I can confirm if she was black she would not be saying that that's to my point that's what he like he he won't keep getting in that type of trouble we keep dealing one. We thought we was making the right. We ended up on the train tracks. Where's the car? The picture. Thank you, Jess, because I forgot. This is his car and then the train came by as they're doing all the stuff. It was crazy. He also thought that the officers were trying to grab his situation down here because they start to search him. Start patting him down. He's like, you ain't going to find down there, but big, yeah. Yep, that's what he's saying. The cop actually did him a favor.

No, he did. Because he would be dead right now if that cop did not come and, you know, handle that situation the way that he did. He's dead and him and the way he'd be in jail because the white girl would be dead. Yep. Oh, wait, nah, if he died and he can't go to jail.

Yeah, I was gonna let you rot. Yo, Jethrox, sorry, I was gonna let you rot. I liked the original story. But I knew what can't go to jail. I'm gonna let you rot. Yo, Jess, I swear to God I was gonna let you rot. I like the original story. I like the original one. I like that. He'd be in jail and dead. I'm like, go off, sis. I ain't gonna say nothing. Go on, girl.

Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. It's Black History Month, Charlamagne, what we doing? Man, you know every day during Black History Month, my guy B.Dot puts out a podcast called I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Neither on the Black Effect I Heart Radio podcast network. And on today's episode of I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Neither, he is going to tell you about Grace Wishia

and how she helped to sew the American flag Now when folks talk about the American flag all you ever hear is Betsy Ross this and Betsy Ross that but Betsy don't know Ish cuz Betsy can't rap ever like that Bo Jackson commercial Keep up look the point is folks is always talking about Betsy Ross and that flag like she the Beyonce in the sewing world or something. But what they don't tell you is that there was someone else putting in the work. A young black woman named Grace Wisher. Now Grace was an apprentice right there with Betsy Ross helping stitch that flag together. But you think Betsy ever gave her as much as a shout out? Nope. That drug don't say the flag was created by Betsy Ross featuring Grace Wisher at the bottom

of it. Nothing. It's like Grace was the AZ to Betsy's Nas. You know what I'm saying? Like AZ, a lyrical genius co-wrote some of the best verses on Illmatic but when folks talk about that album they act like he wasn't even there. Grace was in the same boat y'all and let me tell you, Grace didn't even have the option to shine. It wasn't like she could hop on Instagram and post a selfie like day 3 of stitching the stars and stripes on y'all. Hashtag black girl magic. No, this was the 1700s. Grace wasn't going to get no flowers because back then black women didn't get no flowers.

Hell, black people weren't even allowed to get near the bouquet. Grace's story is wild to me though because her hands were literally on the symbol of freedom. Freedom! But she didn't even get a seat at the table. She liked Mos Def or Yasi and Bay now, that's what we call him. He's another one of them dope MCs, but he wasn't chasing commercial fame. He was out there spitting truth, making classics like Black on both sides but mainstream was like nah we good on that grace was out here sewing up history and society was like nah we good on that see besi ross is like the dr dre of the whole operation like she had the connections she got the credit and grace she were like goody mob in the south pioneering doing soulful conscious work but usually

outcasts get all the credit for the south and i mean come on conscious work but usually outcasts get all the credit for the south and I mean come on like without goody mob southern hip-hop wouldn't have been the same without grace Wishar that flag wouldn't have been the same either so here's the real talk when you see that American flag flying high don't just think about Betsy Ross think about 16 year old grace Wishar a little black apprentice that was behind the scenes making it happen even though she was not allowed to shine. She liked Raekwon from Wu-Tang, only built for Cuban links as a masterpiece but you know

folks is always like oh Method Man, oh Ghostface, nah man give Raekwon his flowers and give Grace Wishar her flowers, she's proof that history ain't all about who gets the credit, it's about who did the work. So next time you see that 50-starred, 13-striped American flag, you just remember a 16-year-old black woman helped to make it happen. And I didn't know, maybe you didn't either.

I didn't know. Happy black history, mom. That's right, man.
