Monday is a holiday. I hope y'all got all y'all Jonathan Majors, Martin Luther King Junior flyers ready. Okay, I've seen a couple of them circulating. I did. Somebody sent me a fantastic one that I posted on social media. Yeah, I did as well. It said all Corettas in free before 11 p.m. That's dope.

I don't know why people think that's dope. I don't know why people think that was me. I don't know how to do graphics. I just direct people to do graphics. Just direct them to. Happy Friday,

though. How y'all feel, man? I am blessed black and highly favored. Happy to be here, man. Hope y'all are enjoying, you know, just enjoying waking up this morning, man.

That's right. So many people woke up dead. Always remember that. Well, they didn't wake up if they did. No, they woke up somewhere people woke up dead. Always remember that. Well, they didn't wake up. No, they woke up somewhere. I truly believe that. I believe when you... They didn't wake up here.

That's what I said. They woke up somewhere. They woke up dead. You transition somewhere like, oh, my God, I'm no longer here. Oh, my God. I'm not on Earth no more. Oh, my God. I wonder if once you transition, do you remember that you were on Earth or another dimension?

I wonder. Because, you know, we see people and we say oh they've been here before you see little kids you say oh you've been here before yeah you know some of us have memories of a past life or you experienced deja vu it's like damn i've done this before i wonder if when you transition to the next dimension you even really recall what you did uh on another dimension okay maybe i'm talking too much this morning but somebody out there smoking weed right now and they feel me. Now I was thinking about that. Now that you said it,

do you wake up and confused? You're like, oh, where am I? What the hell is going on? Or do you know? I'm going to tell you something even scarier. What? Does your conscience,

I don't want to say scary. Scary may not be the right word, but does your conscience still go on? You know what I mean? Imagine you're aware that you're dead because your conscience

is an energy, right? It's a spirit. I don't, never mind. I'm getting, I, right? It's a spirit. I don't, never mind. I'm getting, I'm making me talk too much this morning.

I don't even know why I'm talking about this this morning, but hello, good morning, happy Friday. Hey,

why don't you start there? We got guests today. I gotta think about this all morning. I wake up like,

oh my gosh. Oh, by the way, next week on Breakfast Club, if it's still on the schedule, don't say it,

just let it go. I'm not gonna say the name, but we got a fantastic guest we can talk to about all of this stuff. I am really excited about this. That stuff makes me nervous.

You know that. I don't like talking about that stuff. You shouldn't. It's part of your existence. Yeah, you're right. Death is a part of life. Yeah. There is something after this.

And also Dean Phillips will be joining us Dean Phillips is a US representativeS. representative of Minnesota. He is in Congress. He's also a 2024 presidential candidate. Not just any candidate. He's the only Democrat who has decided to primary Joe Biden. The only Democrat who's actually decided to challenge Joe Biden.

Like somebody from the actual party. Right. So his political career is probably over. But, you know. He'll be all right. Oh, trust me. When you hear his backstory. Yeah, when you hear his backstory, he'll be all right.

You know his backstory. You know why you know his backstory? Because you've drank Belvedere vodka before. Correct. And they used to own it. But we'll talk about that. We'll talk about all that. All right.

Well, let's get the show cracking. We got Teslin Figaro coming up. Front page news in a second. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Charlemagne, the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news in a second. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. Now, over the weekend, of course, you got the playoffs, the wild card round. Now, the Texans take on the Browns tomorrow at 4.30. The Steelers take on the Bills Sunday at 1. The Dolphins take on the Chiefs at 8. And your Cowboys take on the Packers at 4.30. The road to the Super Bowl starts for my Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at 4.30. Because he already knows.

That's not your team. He already knows what I know. You're a Jet fan. Let me tell you something that I've been getting asked all week long that I've never been getting asked that I'm taking as a sign. People have been asking me, are you going to the Super Bowl? Not as in my Cowboys, are you? And I said, yes, if my cowboys are you and i said yes if my cowboys go do you know something i don't know yeah yeah i don't know how you want to put that

but i feel like you do this every year but come on and test absolutely do this every year but that's okay hold the line charlamagne good morning dj mb good morning all right let's jump right into it let's talk about this uh the u.s carrying out strikes. Yeah, a lot was going on yesterday. United States and the U.K., as you mentioned, carried out strikes against the Houthi rebels. Let's go to CBS for the report. And I have some more information on the other side. The United States and the United Kingdom have carried out airstrikes on Houthi rebels in Yemen. This comes after the Iranian backed militia group attacked cargo ships and tankers in the Red Sea. There have been more than two dozen attacks since October. Now, I want you to take a listen

to the response by President Biden in the White House. This is the reasoning on why he said he ordered those airstrikes. Take a listen. He says today at my direction, U.S. military forces, together with the United Kingdom and with support from Australia, Bahrain, Canada and the Netherlands, I think it's notable that Bahrain assisted here, another Middle East nation, successfully conducted strikes against a number of targets in Yemen used by Houthi rebels to endanger freedom of navigation in one of the world's most vital waterways. He says that these strikes are in direct response to Houthi attacks on international maritime vessels. In other words, they are not attacking military vessels. They are simply attacking commercial vessels that are transporting oil, natural gas and other goods through the Red Sea.

Now, here's where the conflict comes in among leaders, not progressive leaders, guys like Representative O'Connor said that the way the president needs to come to Congress before launching a strike against Houthi and Yemen and involving us in another Middle East conflict. Also, progressive Congresswoman Representative Rashida Tlaib. She tweeted the president is violating Article one of the Constitution by carrying out airstrikes in Yemen without congressional approval. The American people are tired of endless war. And this is where you get a chance to see, you know know a lot of folks like to say they're progressives and uh but this is where you get a chance to see who are really the progressive leaders uh in congress and and also you know our activists who are progressive that will be speaking out against this so i went and talked to uh ohio former state ohio senator nina turner who folks have heard here on the breakfast club many times i want you to take a listen to

what she told me article Article one of the Constitution is very clear that he cannot do that without the authorization of Congress. And Congress has not given him any authorization. As a matter of fact, on January 6th of 2020, President Joe Biden tweeted the following. He said, let's be clear. Donald Trump does not have the authority to take us into war with Iran without congressional approval. A president should never take this nation to war without the informed consent. He also, during a dim debate, said that we would not be in political wars. But we see all of that as a lie.

Congress, where are you? Get on your job. We got all of these wars going on it's the ukraine now it's yemen we are funding uh the slaughter of palestinians uh by israel in the middle east all of these things being done in our name congress stand up and get a backbone well you heard that now also let me give you this last one and i'll toss it back to you guys i also reached out to foreign policy expert dr lamont hill Hill and again, directing folks. He's been on Breakfast Club before. You guys need to check out that interview.

But I wanted to know his opinion and what this looks like, you know, how it affects us overall in the future. This is what he had to say. President Biden's decision to bomb Yemen was unauthorized and illegal. But it was also really, really dangerous. By escalating things in Yemen, it is going to only enrage other Shia groups around the region. We could see a full-scale war in the Middle East. This teaches us, as history always has, that violence leads to more violence. If Biden had used that same energy to negotiate a ceasefire, to demand that Israel stop bombing and sieging Gaza, then we wouldn't be looking at

potentially World War III and honestly, a political climate that makes Donald Trump and the Republicans seem reasonable and patient by comparison. Yeah, you know, it's interesting.

Last night, my good sister, Angela Rye, and I were up at MSNBC to do a Joy Reid show and we got preempted because of the U.S. airstrikes. And there is nothing that raises anxiety levels like being in a newsroom when something like this happens, because as we're walking through the hall and the MSNBC employee that's walking with us was getting alerts about World War Three. Like how Mark just Mark just referenced. And I was like, well, what's happening? Did somebody drop off a nuke or something? So it's just like, yeah, Mark is absolutely right. And it's amazing how when it comes to things we actually need, we can't ever get it because we can't get congressional approval.

But when they want to do something, they'll bypass congressional approval every time. Every time. And they were saying it affects us a lot on the local level. For people that say, well, how does this affect us every day they're saying that if iran jumps in which they are assuming will happen that the prices of gasoline will shoot up ridiculous amounts so they were saying where barrels are like 68 a barrel it could get close to a hundred dollars a barrel which means that you know you're gonna be paying seven dollars eight dollars a gallon for gas

iran already said they're ready to respond to U.S. aggression. And it's also important to note, guys, that Republicans have backed this just so folks can keep up with the partisan who's doing what. So progressives are speaking against this, saying that, again, you did this out of order. But some Republicans are showing support for this, saying they welcome this and that it's long overdue. That came from Minority Leader Mitch Connell. So they are in totally support of this as well. Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell.

What did you say? Mitch McConnell. Mitch McConnell. All right. Well, that is front page news. Now, I'll see you in about an hour. What are we talking about, Taz? Yeah, folks, come back. We've got to break down the closing arguments uh in trump's civil fraud case you know we talked about him speaking in court he did speak in court uh so we'll be breaking that down for you guys at seven

all right get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent phone lines are wide open again 800-585-1051 and i just want to salute this couple out in New York, Long Island. They just celebrated their 80th wedding anniversary. Damn! 80th wedding anniversary. How old are they? He's 103. She's 102.

Oh, man. I pray. I pray to God to get that kind of life. 80th anniversary. What? I pray to God to get that kind of long life. 80th! I really do.

That's something I put in the air every day. Absolutely. I would love to live to be 103, be married for 80 plus years. That's right. I just need my brain and my penis to still work, man. That's something I put in the air every day. I would love to live to be 103, be married for 80 plus years. That's right. I just need my brain and my penis to still work, man. That's it. I need my brain and my penis to still work. That's all I need, man.

Okay. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? Oh, peace and blessings. Good morning, guys. DJ Envy, what's up? Sean Stone. What's up? Peace, Sean Stone. Bless up, bless up, man.

Hey, you know, I was watching the Cat William interview, and, you know, he called out your spiritual leader, Mr. T.D. Jakes, the bishop, for being at Diddy's party. And we just wondered, if 50 Cent ain't trying to go to Diddy's party, why is he at Diddy's party? You are the most judgmental Christian person I know. It's very strange. Like, it's really strange. And by the way, let me ask you a question.

You think you walk in Diddy's parties and it's people just naked having sex in the middle of the floor? Like, you think that's what's really going on? Listen, if Cat Williams and 50 Cent don't want to go to Diddy's party, and 50 Cent always saying Diddy's party is like a lot of homosexual parties. Why is the bishop here? Sean, listen. I want you to. Sean, listen.

Seriously, seriously, seriously. It's Friday. Yo, y'all got to stop believing every single conspiracy theory just because somebody says it. Like, first of all, I've never been to a Diddy party. But, Envy, Diddy's party is a legendary, right? They are legendary. And don't say like I've been there. You've never DJed at Diddy party, but Diddy's parties are legendary, right? They are legendary. Don't say like I've been there. You've never DJed at a Diddy party?

No. Oh, but mad people have been going to Diddy parties over the years. Now, all of a sudden, somebody puts something out on TikTok of all places, and y'all run with it. This is why I don't like the worldwide nigger net. I don't know what's true, and I don't know what's not true true but i know that tiktok shouldn't be your source of information now now that i know now did he used to have uh parties in manhattan in the city at clubs that everybody went to but these people are talking about parties at diddy's house but like you said uh who cares about the truth when the lies morning nobody cares about the truth by the way i've been to a bishop td jake's

birthday party and diddy was there. What does that mean? Nothing. We were all at church, folks. And guess what? We all went to church Sunday morning. We was all at the Potter's house Sunday morning. I think sometimes what we also forget about these situations is I don't know what somebody got going on. So I might go to a person's party.

I might have a meeting with a person. I might support a person. Then you find out later this person was doing a lot of foul stuff behind the scenes. That has nothing to do with you. That has nothing to do with you. Nope. Like, that is so silly. Like, it's the weird.

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

I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 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 trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that?

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian, Elian Gonzalez. Elian, Elian, Elian Gonzalez. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with.

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

available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Eric from Jersey, good morning. Good morning, Breakfast Club. Good morning, brothers. How are y'all this morning? Peace, K. What's going on? So, Envy, I was looking at the interview with the Native Land podcast yesterday, and I caught a vibe like I thought you were letting loose a little bit of beige rage in regards to the lazy journalism and the misleading headlines. And I was wondering, is that pertaining to any, let's say, controversies that may have been reported lately? No, I think you may be looking too far.

No, it is. It's all of it. We just were talking about it before we answered the call. It's everything. I think a lot of times people don't do their homework when it comes to everything. We just had that conversation about T.D. Jakes and Diddy. A lot of people just look at headlines and don't necessarily want to read the actual facts.

Yo, Envy, forget the headlines. Nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining. People just want to be entertained nowadays. Absolutely. They don't care about what's true and what's not true, ever. Yeah, but that's with everything, not just my stuff. No, everything. Everything all across the board.

And I'm going to tell you all right now, 2024 is going to be the worst year we've ever experienced in regards to misinformation. It is a presidential election year, not just here in America, but also in South Africa. In a minute, you're not going to know what to believe. What's true, what's not true. And I pray some Orson Welles War of the Worlds type stuff don't happen because of it.

If you don't know what Orson Welles War of the Worlds is, Google is your friend. Do your Googles. Well, hopefully Google is correct though. But anyway,

get it off your chest. It will be about Orson Welles. Damn. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Call out a name, or you gossiping, or you chatty-patty. I am gossiping. This is The Rumor Report. I mean, I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right.

Now, yesterday, Young Thug was in court, and one of YSL's co-founders, Tick, was testifying over the last couple of days, but now Young Thug's defense lawyer did a cross-exam examination and asked him several questions like Serena Williams and what he thought about Serena Williams and some of the things that she does when she's playing tennis. Do you know who Serena Williams is? Yes.

Have you seen her at Wimbledon doing what's called a crip walk? Do you know what a crip walk is for a strong? I don't watch tennis. Okay. Alright. Thank you, Mr. Kokomo. Through your understanding of your consumption, that means what you learn about, what you see, what attracts you, your interest, is gang culture promoted via entertainment? Yes. You ever hear of the expression, a studio gangster?

Yes. Tell the ladies and gentlemen, Jerry, what that means. Somebody who's rapping about being in a studio, talking about gangster stuff. And that's for entertainment, right? It's for promotion. Yeah. Do you know who LeBron James is?

Man, what is happening? Yes. Who is, tell the ladies and gentlemen, Jerry, who LeBron James is? Man, what is happening? Who is the television chairman jury who LeBron James is? NBA player. And have you seen him do the wiping of the nose and say slime? What the hell? Okay.

Who is that human jaw Hellman's trying to demonize all these great black icons? What does LeBron and Serena have to do with the YSL case? What's the reason? What's the purpose? What's the point? What am I missing? No, he was just saying that some of the stuff that they're accusing Young Thug, some of the gang-affiliated things, the handshakes, the dances, and all that,

that it's just culture. That Serena Williams was doing crip walking as she won a match. Oh. And that, you know, LeBron James does different handshakes with different players on the team. I ain't never seen LeBron do none of that. He does. They actually had a video of him doing that. Okay.

Why shut up? It's out there. I've never seen it out there, but I don't know what that means. I thought he had a runny nose. Jesus Christ. He does different handsh a video of him doing that Okay Why shut up It's out there I've never seen But I don't know what that means I thought he had a runny nose Jesus Christ He does different handshakes With different people Anyway

That doesn't mean he's gang affiliated Yeah It's culture So he's trying to show It's not necessarily gang related It's just Culture Hip hop culture

Performative I don't know if I would call it Hip hop culture But it's just performative It's what people do Yeah he also So he's right They should have played Fat Joe

And leaned back When Fat Joe said Well well, that word that you can't say no more. Even made gang signs commercial. Even Lil Bow Wow throwing it up. B2K, Crip Walking, like that. That's what's up. He should have played that in court as exhibit B or C or D or whatever.

However they do it. Maybe they're listening today. Maybe they'll do that today. Or if they're listening, they just heard you say LeBron's in the game. I didn't say LeBron was in the game. That's exactly what you said. I said LeBron does... He did it.

I saw him do it. I saw him do it. I said LeBron's in the game. I didn't say LeBron was in the game. That's exactly what you said. I said LeBron does the handshake. He did it. I saw him do it. I saw him do it. I said LeBron does the handshake. I've never seen him do it. You on Shade Room. Shade Room showed the video. I didn't see it. We're going to be watching.

We're going to be watching. And he also talks about Little Wayne. Now, this is the same person that the jurors have heard about through your testimony a lot. Is that fair to say? The person you really like? Yes. The artist? Yes. And do you know his real name to be Dwayne Carter? Yes. This is the same Mr. Carter you spoke about who was under and worked with Brian Birdman Williams. Is that the same person? Yes. All right. Now, on this picture, Mr. Williams, number 31, do you notice any tattooing of the face of Lil Wayne? Yes. Do you have tattoos on your face?

Yes. And does Mr. Williams or Jeffery? Yes. Do you see some stars around the neckline? Yes. And how many stars do you count? Five. And what color are the stars? and there may be multiple colors you can

name them all if you want right and what he was trying to say is that thug got those tattoos because he was inspired by little wayne and and that's what he was saying that you know these artists inspire him and that's the reason why he got those tattoos that's what his lawyer was trying to say i get it i've just been on the stand like one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. He might as well be. Jesus Christ. Now, some serious news. Michael Strahan, his daughter, revealed yesterday on Good Morning America that she has brain cancer. Now, this is horrible.

This is really scary if you have kids out there because, you know, sometimes when your kids say they have headaches or they have something bothering them you don't know how far to go meaning do you just give them a Tylenol do you just go take them to the doctor or do you go extra far to make sure that there's nothing happened and listen what happened to Michael Sherahan's daughter soon after starting college the then 18 year old freshman begins experiencing excruciating headaches I didn't notice anything was off till probably September like October 1st that's when I definitely noticed headaches, nausea, couldn't walk straight. And what did you think was going on at the time? I thought I had vertigo. You know, 18 years old at the time, you're not thinking this.

Maybe it's vertigo, maybe it's something else, but she's young, she's strong, she's healthy. Look at her, she looks great. A few weeks later, on October 25th, her condition taking a turn for the worst. I woke up, but I was throwing up blood. And my sister, I was like, this probably isn't good. So I texted her, who then notified the whole family. And then that was when we decided you need to really go see a, get a thorough checkup. And thank goodness for the doctor.

I feel like this doctor saved her life. Damn, man, sorry for her. Definitely sending her healing energy. Absolutely. And you think about stuff like that, right?

Like all the times you feel like, you know, you got a migraine and the migraine won't go away. You know, like, like, yeah, you just don't know when to go.

Now she's throwing up blood is definitely a sign that you need to go see somebody. But she probably had needed to go see somebody a whole lot earlier. So I wonder what symptoms in the body should you really look out for when you're dealing with something like that to know you need to go to the doctor. Well, she already had brain surgery, several rounds of radiation, and she's doing chemotherapy next month. Now, here's the diagnosis. Doctors suddenly telling Isabella she's developed a fast-growing four centimeter tumor in the back of her brain. It's size larger than a golf ball. Isabella's diagnosis medulloblastoma which accounts for 20 percent of all childhood brain tumors. About 500 children per year are diagnosed, most commonly between ages 5 to 9.

Hey, man, sending healing energy to the whole Scrahan family. That's the worst feeling in the world when your child is dealing with some type of ailment and there's nothing you can do about it. That's right. There's nothing you can do about it except for pray, you know, take them to the hospital and wish for the best. There is no more hopeless feeling than that. So definitely sending healing energy and strength to the good brother brother michael strahan and his family absolutely salute to michael strahan and again uh sending healing energy my daughter had uh bad headaches when she was a freshman as well and the sad thing about it is when when you go to the doctor at first the first thing they used to tell

you to do is take a tylenol or they say take aspirin and they don't want to go to the you know to really do the scan and you really have to push and you really have to pressure them to do it which we finally did but it took a long time to get that done because at first the first thing that they wanted to do is just say oh just just take a Tylenol or just just take an aspirin and sometimes you get nervous and it's it's more than that and thank god that you know they went to the full thing and did a scan this is why I want Wakanda like technology I want something like, you can just go and stand in and whatever's going on with your body,

it'll just tell you right then and there without them having to probe and everything else. You're not there yet. Yeah, I don't even want to talk about probing. I had a prostate exam last week.

I ain't been farting right since. Hmm? Mm-mm. Never mind. Hmm? Wait, why'd you get a prostate? You didn't say you were going to get a prostate exam I don't feel like talking about it right now

I talked about it on the podcast this week I don't feel like talking about it right now So but you went Never mind But everybody out there should go get a prostate exam That is the moral of the story Go get a prostate exam One finger or two

Even if you don't fart right You know For a while Or three KY Vaseline I don't fart right you know for a while for three KY Vaseline I don't want to talk it's enough and that is

Let's talk a little bit about Trump yesterday and his closing arguments in his civil fraud trial in New York. Let's take a listen to the report. Former President Donald Trump took time off the campaign trail today

for closing arguments in his civil fraud trial in New York City, where he is accused of falsifying financial documents for a decade. CBS's Robert Costa is outside the courthouse. With his businesses in New York at risk, and after a long day in court, former President Donald Trump arrived. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like,

this is mine. I own this. 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 Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez.

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

At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well. Listen to Chess Peace, the Elian Gonzalez story, as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. One of his New York properties to speak to reporters. We have our best poll numbers, we have the best everything despite this this and maybe because of this. With just days before the Iowa caucuses, Trump says his legal challenges here in New York and elsewhere are now part of the campaign trail. Are you planning to show up in court?

Yeah, I want to go to all of my trials. Now, during court, you know, we talked about this the other day about what he pulled on Nino Brown. And you can pretty much say that he did. I wish they had audio where we could actually hear what happened in court. But I'll just break it down quickly. The judge did allow him to speak. He spoke from the defense table with his comments. And pretty much similar to what he said publicly, you know, all year, which is about it being a witch hunt.

After several minutes, Judge N. Gorin interrupted and said, you know, one minute only. Trump responded to the judge, You have your own agenda. I understand that. So basically told the judge that he has an agenda. The judge then had to tell his attorney to please control your client. He said and Trump went on to say, your honor, I did nothing wrong. They should pay me for what I've had to go through. Now, he walked out the courtroom while the state was still finishing that closing argument, went to his 40 Wall Street building, pumping his fist in the air. His supporters were cheering him on, and then he addressed the media and made remarks about

New York Attorney General Letitia James. Take a listen. And all politically motivated. She campaigned on a I will get Trump. If you've ever seen any of her clips, they're horrible clips, actually. The anger. She's got serious Trump derangement syndrome. There's no question about Letitia James, the

corrupt Attorney General of New York. Trump derangement syndrome is hilarious. That is crazy. I've heard them say that before, Trump derangement syndrome. It's just hilarious. And so he talks about it like it's a real disease. New York

Attorney General Letitia James, she says she is unbothered by his comments. Let's take a listen. This case has never been about politics, personal vendetta or about name calling. This case is about the facts and the law. And Mr. Donald Trump violated the law. I trust that justice will be done. I don't think nobody is unbothered by Donald Trump violated the law. I trust that justice will be done. I don't think nobody is unbothered by Donald Trump. I think that's impossible. You know, I think it's impossible to be unbothered by Donald Trump because it's always surreal to me that a man can be dealing with all these criminal and civil cases and still be running for president of the United States of America. Not just running, but actually busting President Biden's ass in the polls. And I was wondering if they will ever amend the Constitution to prevent things like this from happening in the future. I know in regards to the insurrection is the 14th Amendment, but I'm talking something else that says if you're dealing with all these criminal cases,

you can't run for president, can't run for the highest office in the land. I know this is just a civil case we're talking about, but I'm just saying, like, if you're dealing with all these criminal cases, you can't run for the highest office in the land the only problem is is if you're supposed to be what not guilty innocent until proven guilty right so that kind of takes from that yeah but how about you should prove your guilt first i mean prove your innocence first but for the run for president because how can you simultaneously care about what's going on with the american people when you got so much else going on in your personal life? But but, you know, you know, you can charge. Well, you can't charge, but you can sue anybody for anything civilly and people can be charged wrongly, you know, wrongly accused.

Yeah, but 91 criminal charges when you run for president of the United States of America. I'm talking about think about the circumstances. This ain't this ain't no normal position that he's running for. He's running for president of the united states of america but if you take trump out of it and you put another president that people just don't like maybe the government just don't like the government could just create false charges to make sure that person don't run hey then you got to worry about that sure but if you got 91 criminal charges 91 right come on man well sound like y'all need to be on house floor debating that uh maybe that's something they can look into congress has the ability to change change laws so if they think that's something should happen they can do that i just want to remind people that the iowa caucus

is monday so this is uh it'll end pretty late starts around seven o'clock now caucuses are very different you're not just going in and just selecting somebody so they actually have to convince other voters so this is where we get to see you know uh put up a shut up who's going to be voting for who um we'll be covering that on monday to see how they've determined who they want to be their republican nominee no more polls it gets real on monday i'm gonna be i i don't know what's gonna happen like that's why they say you always got to play the game but i i hope uh nikki haley wins the iowa caucus because then i hope that would make the gop say you know what This might be our person. You know, let's get away from all this baggage.

Let's get away from the person with 91 criminal charges and all these civil cases, you know, and hitch our wagon to something that got a lot less baggage. And just just to add on to that, when you talk about the 91 cases there, when you heard Trump earlier in the clip, say that he plans on going to all of his court dates and just for the folks to know there are 25 legal political dates as of now that start from january 8th going all the way into august 5th and so you got to simultaneously do that and campaign to be president of the united states of america when you hear him talk and he's not talking about you know uh legislation when he's not talking about policies he wants to implement it's because he's not talking about, you know, legislation, when he's not talking about policies he wants to implement, it's because he's preoccupied, people. But he's never talked about legislation and policies he wanted to implement before. Yes, he did. Build the wall.

That's all he ever said. Build the wall. That's all he ever said. America first. There you go. Okay? We know what those things mean. All right?

All right. And let me just say this clearly because I want to make sure. When I say 25 dates, those are not all dates days those are like filing motions going to court you know anything around anything legal there's 25 right that's correct from january 8th all the way to with everything going on in america i need somebody that's really uh you know highly focused on america and can really micromanage what's going on in this country and around the world. You can't have somebody who's preoccupied with a civil, not even just civil, the criminal cases more than anything.

Like, no. Alright, well that is front page news. Thank you, Tez. Absolutely, you guys have a great weekend. You too.

this is the rumor report i mean I guess we on The Breakfast Club. This is where the tea spills, right? Right. Now, Pete Davidson dropped a new Netflix special. It's called Turbo Fonzarelli. And during this special, he talks about being high going to a funeral. And the person's funeral that he went to was the icon Aretha Franklin. It's embarrassing when you're not on ketamine anymore, though.

You're like, ooh, eww. I'm embarrassed. I was out and about like that. That's not cool, you know? I was at funerals like that. That's f***ed up, right? I was at Aretha Franklin's funeral like that. Yeah, I have to live with that.

You know what I mean? She'll never know, but still, it's not the point. You know what I mean? If she was there, she would probably be like, hey, who hey who are you and what the are you doing at my funeral you know it's embarrassing i was so high i thought it'd be a good idea to go to her family and go hey i'm just here to pay my r-e-s-p-e-c-t's yes now you're probably thinking like i was like what the hell was he doing at aretha franklin i feel like you buried the lead. At the time, he was engaged to Ariana Grande. And, of course, Ariana Grande had a great relationship with Aretha Franklin.

Everybody loved Ariana Grande's voice. Ariana and Aretha had a relationship? Mm-hmm. I didn't know that. Ariana can't sing, though. That is a fact. Yeah, she can sing. And the moral of that story, drugs and vagina will have you doing some strange things.

Okay? Okay. That's the moral of that story. All right. be doing some strange things okay okay that's the moral of that story all right well tj holmes and amy roback uh talk about uh a time that they spent 2800 on liquor that's how stressed they were was it white liquor we added up december oh my goodness how much money so embarrassing we spent on alcohol for the month and we were able to do this by going back and looking at receipts from our account. Also looking at Drizzly.

Yeah, we love Drizzly. It's an absurd number. Well, okay. We spent in the month of December $2,869 on alcohol alone. Period. Oh, my God. I'm so embarrassed. I mean, I don't know.

I thought the number would be higher, to be honest with you. Oh, my God. I'm so embarrassed. I mean, I don't know what. I thought the number would be higher, to be honest with you. I'm over 30 drinks a week then. Okay. And that is appalling to me. That is embarrassing to me. That is not what I wish it were. So I can easily go through 18 drinks a day.

Criticizing Kai In the first place I don't know Kai Who Never met the young man, but I salute that young man. Shout out to me! Everything that he's built.

You know why? Because Kai Sinatra is everything we say we want hip-hop to be. Yo, that's a big statement, bro. Elliot did respond immediately after Nicki's tweet about him, but the way I view it as with the Elliot posting shit was I just think like right now, today's day and age, people been doing it for so long, right? That it's been the same matter for years, for years, for years. And when there's a new thing that's out, they don't, they can't really grasp and understand it.

Streaming is a baby. It's very new to like the music industry and shit like that. Sean LeMay, appreciate you, bro. It's DJ NB, you're watching Breakfast Club. Yeah, that's fire, bro. I'm not going to lie. That shit, that. Sean O'Malley, appreciate you, bro. It's DJ NB. You watch at Breakfast Club. Yeah, that's fire, bro. I'm not gonna lie. That shit, that shit hard.

Shout out to Kai Sinat. Yeah, drop on the Clues Bonds for Kai Sinat, man. Look at that young man. I stand on everything I said. He's a very positive young man. He's not online setting himself on fire

for views. He's just having a good time in there dancing with his mom and sister, listening to music, critiquing music. It's everything we love about hip-hop. Yeah, but like you said, everything changes.

This evolution is the way that we did things and not the way that our elders did it. The way that he's doing things now. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag.

I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip hop. 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. Did you know, did you know, I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Goldman.

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 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. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez.

Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzalez wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him.

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

What are we doing? And it's dope what he's doing. He's 22 years old. I thank God. And he's doing well. Extremely well. I thank God that young man isn't doing anything that we were doing.

You're right. And that's what I'm saying. We are here to teach people early what we learned late correct okay so salute to kaisa not that's right all right and that is your rumor report jennifer lopez ben affleck interracial relationship latino white what that mean that's one we gotta see one. We got to see how that turns out. That's dirt, dirt. Dirt, really? I'm really talking about black men.

The people who take a little dirt. Forget all, forget all. What I'm specifically talking about is black men who choose partners that aren't black women. That's what I'm specifically talking about. Because you know that I believe in black love. I believe black men should be with black women and have beautiful black families. That is just my personal opinion. Okay?

If you don't like it, at Dr. Umar Johnson. Okay? D-R-U-M-A-R-J-O-H-N-S-O-N. Take it up with him. Okay? I'm not going back and forth with you about it. All right?

But Dr. Umar will. All right. Just trying to look at that wall to see. No, not J. Cole, not Hove, not Ray J. J. Cole is the product of a one. But no. No, I don't want to mention Kanye. Kanye definitely.

Kanye definitely love him a snow bunny. All right, forget it. He buy him by the dozen. They all look alike, too. He missed one, the next one coming, and it looked just like the first one that left.

Yeah, you're right. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Will you give me a donkey, too? Listen, for after the hour, man, this is the first donkey of the... No, this is the first donkey

of the year from Florida. His name is Kurt Beck, and we're going to have a conversation with you about, you know what? We'll talk about it when we come back for After the Hour. It only took five days. We've only been here five days. That's a long time for Florida.

All right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey.

A Florida Man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida Man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando Man for attacking a flamingo. It club bitch donkey of the day charlamagne the guy i don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this it's not me it's y'all donkey of the day for friday january 12 goes to a 33 year old florida man named kurt beck what does your uncle charla always say about the great state of florida the craziest people in america come from the the Bronx and all of Florida. And today is no exception. This is actually the first Florida donkey of 2024. I know we just got back on the eighth, but you mean to tell me Florida went all week without getting the donkey of the day?

What happened, Florida? Y'all got saved? Did Erykah Badu go down there and sage the whole state? Did Sarah Jakes Roberts say a prayer for Florida? What's happening? Did everyone in Florida make a New Year's resolution to not be donkey of the day no more well kurt has already broke that resolution and honestly i have empathy for him see i try not to judge people based on what they do when they are in survival mode and if i'm being honest kurt was just trying to survive and yes he did break the law which is the reason he's getting donkey of the day today but i feel like deputies with

the volesha county sheriffs should have a heart okay you don't got to be 10 men all your life and even the 10 man long for a heart see according to an arrest affidavit a cashier witnessed a man in a jacket leaving the store while concealing several bags of one of the greatest comfort foods ever created a food that brings so many people together and brings us so much joy and causes us to socialize and that food ladies and gentlemen is crab legs dropping a clues bond for crab legs okay now this is florida so it's always an amazing amazing plot twist now kurt had a friend with him but the friend didn't steal anything he was serving as more of a lookout a sexy decoy and he walked behind kurt as they exited the store now a store manager followed

them out why why huh huh whoever the store manager is Winn-Dixie ain't dying for you. Okay? Not nobody in Winn-Dixie is going to put their life on the line for you. So why would you follow somebody outside and confront them over stealing crab legs? Okay? The only logical answer is there was like this crab leg shortage last year on red and blue king crabs. And maybe, just maybe maybe this store manager was planning to make a seafood boil but he couldn't afford the crab legs until he got his next check

and if kurt is stealing crab legs there won't be no crab legs for the store manager store manager to buy when he gets paid okay now i made this whole story up in my head but the moral of it is if i'm a store manager at win dixie i'm not following you outside for nothing okay you can have whatever you stole go home and crack those crab legs we'll be all right but if i follow you outside and confront you and you crack my head open like a king crab leg then i won't be well according to the arrest affidavit the men attempted to leave but their car wouldn't start florida ladies and gentlemen florida the car would not start that's got to feel like bruce bruce banner uh in infinity war when hulk couldn't come out to fight i, of all the times for you not to start, Mr. Carr, you're going to choose right now. If this isn't God letting you know that you're doing something wrong, then I don't know what it is.

Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we steal crab legs and try to leave. Now, it gets better. Kurt, after his car wouldn't start simply, tried to give the crab legs back to the store manager. Now, if you ask me, the store manager should have just felt pity for these fools and taken the crab legs back to the store manager now if you ask me the store manager should have just felt pity for these fools and taking the crab legs back but no this store manager said he was going to pursue criminal charges he said when dixie was going to pursue criminal charges uh i don't agree but this man kirk did break the law so after they were in custody right kirk admitted during questioning he knew what he did was wrong duh of course he knew it was wrong but it was a

chance he was willing to take because what is a seafood boil without crab legs all right this man had a get-together planned clearly a whole crab crack he didn't have money for the crab legs because he probably spent his money on beer hell is for florida so he probably spent money on some meph too and fun fact a couple of days ago, authorities found some meth in a crab boil at a Louisiana airport. True story. Do your Googles. But back to Florida. When police questioned Kurt's homie that was with him, deputies learned that he did not steal any merchandise and was acting only as the driver for Kurt due to Kurt's license being suspended. Nothing like a criminal with a conscience all right he knows he can't commit two crimes but if you ain't got no license and you don't got the

kind of car that starts when you want to you probably need to keep your getaway driving to a minimum and the way you keep your getaway driving to a minimum is by not committing the crime in the first place now we have a person who works here on the breakfast club you have affectionately uh heard me refer to him as the president of the fat lives matter committee he actually started with us here at the breakfast club as an intern back in like 2011 or 2012 and uh he's back with us now he was back with us all last year and uh you know he didn't want to get on camera until he lost some weight did you you know camera adds about 10 pounds? So he lost the weight. Did he?

Yeah. And he would like to come in and explain to us why Kurt doesn't deserve donkey of the day at all. Ladies and gentlemen, you see him on Wild N' Out. You see him on the road doing stand-up. His one half of the duo, Thick N' Thin. Please welcome the president of the Fat Lives Matter committee, Big Mac is here. Big Mac. Yes.

Our Fat Mac, as Rose calls him. Did he lose weight? He did. He did. He did. He looks thinner. Tell me, Mac, why Kurt doesn't deserve donkey at all? One word, inflation.

Have you heard of it? Like, come on now, the price of anything is way too high now to the point where I'm surprised there's not more that's happening. Yeah, higher food prices did boost overall inflation in December. That is true. How has it impacted you? Impacted me? Come on now, I'm the president of the Fat Loss Matter Committee. The whole committee is...

Oh, God, I hate it when you pull out. We had all types of meetings, so I did some independent research, right? Oh, my God. Oh, my goodness. So, the fact that crab legs, if you want three pounds of it, it's going for about $200 right now. $200? $200, which is kind of crazy because now I understand why Mr. Krabs was so

cheap because people was coming after him to get that $200. That's a lot right now. This guy stole about six pounds of crab legs. It's crazy. You ain't got that much money. How many pounds do you eat yourself? How many pounds do you eat yourself? A metric ton is actually how it comes up on the scale. Google that. Anyway,

so lobster tails, crazy. Buck 50. A pound? A buck 50 for some lobster tails. Damn. Where are you shopping? Listen, I'm trying to tell you. See, you guys, you guys, you're on the rich side of the grocery store.

This is the regular people. They trying to tax us early. But while I'm here, you know what I mean? I don't really get this opportunity. While I'm here and I got your ear, I got some other issues. The quarter pounder with cheese, the value meal, about $14. That's too expensive. That's way too much.

Because the number two, the two cheeseburgers used to be $3.99, $2.99. It's crazy. Now it's like $8. That's too much. That double quarter pounder better look like me for $14. God damn. Who can eat all that? That's not a value meal.

What value is that? That's crazy. The price of eggs at one point were more expensive than hunter biden's cocaine wow that that right there and that's how you start your day with eggs you guys eat eggs all the way i've seen charlamagne eat eggs how many eggs you eat is that huh how many eggs you eat what's how much is a baker's was like 13 13 yeah two of them two bakers jesus christ 26 yeah kool-aid i don know the last time y'all bought Kool-Aid. Remember the little packets? 49 cents.

Growing up, it was 10 cents. You know what I mean? You can get 50 cents, you can get five of them. All the flavors. Red, grape, fruit punch. Now, 50 cents gets you one. I hate how passionate you are about this. Nah, listen, I don't get this opportunity. And listen, stores. Arizona Ice Teas. It says

99 cents on the can. Don't be charging me a buck 50 for that., it says 99 cents on the can. Don't be charging me $1.50 for that. It still says 99 cents on the can? It says 99 cents on it. When I buy it and I ring, and guess what it says? $1.50. I'll be like, nah, bro, that's got to come out your pocket. All I hear is you talking about a bunch of stuff you shouldn't be eating.

And chip and dip. I got to make a decision in the store. Do I want the chip or do I want the dip? Because they're so expensive. Which one do you take? I'm just curious. Which one curious which one do you know i'm like my man in florida i'm stealing it you put it under your role i'm putting whatever's cheaper i ask what i'm built you're going through this you know the self-checkout at walmart i go through there but the rest of it i put it all under my rolls and folds we gotta get you more money up here man shout out to florida we gotta get him on a diet. That too. That too.

Listen, I don't do anything that has the word diet in it. It just doesn't sound good. Oh, God. Makes sense. Please give, what's the guy's name? Kurt Beck, the biggest seahawk. Jesus Christ.

I like this. You have to do this every day? Whiting is 350 a pound too, buddy. The whiting too damn high as well. You want to play again? No, I don't. You don't want to play again? No, I don't. You don't want to play again? I do.

Both legs or one leg? I'm not having this conversation. He took three pounds. I think he took three pounds. I'm not having this conversation. That's what I'm talking about, Sean. It's 2024. All that fat shaming you was doing all 2023, it's over for that.

Now, when we come back, Dean Phillips will be joining us. Yes. He's running for president and we'll see. Yes, he's also the U.S. representative of Minnesota and he is a 2024 presidential candidate. He's actually the only person in we'll see. Yes, he's also the U.S. representative of Minnesota. And he is the 2024 presidential candidate.

He's actually the only person in the Democratic Party who's actually a member of Congress who decided to challenge President Biden. And he says his career is over because of it. That's right. I hope he brings down the food prices if he gets in there. That's all you care about, huh? That's important. Vote your interest back. We're going to talk to him when we come back.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We've got a special guest in the building.

That's right, U.S. Representative of Minnesota and 2024 presidential candidate, Dean Phillips. Welcome. Good morning, gentlemen. How are you? You know what? I'm humbled. I'm really humbled to be with you guys. Good morning, gentlemen. How are you? I'm, you know what? I'm humbled. I'm really humbled to be with you guys. I'm doing great. Happy to be in Manhattan, happy to be on this journey, and happy to be with you guys.

So let's start with why. Why jumping into this crazy race? Well, because I'll be alive to see the fruits of our labor. That's one reason. I think it's time for change. I'm sick of a country that makes all these promises, doesn't fulfill any. And when I went to Congress in 2019, I was just disgusted. Now I understand what's so damn wrong in our country and why this system defeats everybody here.

And I want to do something about it. I lost my dad in Vietnam. He gave his life to the country. The least I can do is pay something back. And the way to do it is to try to change stuff. And I'm really frustrated and I'm disappointed. And the lack of courage in Washington and Congress in this country right now I think it's time for our generations to rise and stop this

nonsense and actually realize what we can be and reclaim some of the principles and values I think we all share and I'm really pissed off to be honest with you what is wrong with our country well I think our country was founded on the premise that all are created equal and we've never fulfilled it. And that's just true in so many cases. And, you know, we Washington is such a culture of rewards for the wealthy and the well-connected. And it's this little capsule. It's this little like balloon, if you will, that is so disconnected from reality.

And we have a system that breeds and rewards sticking around there and and staying there and nobody gets out and listens and i got it i've only been doing this two months you know look i come from minnesota i'm a white congressman from a suburban minneapolis district i thought i knew i thought i i thought i knew people i thought i knew what was wrong but boy until i've been traveling the country and going to little towns and through the east and west north and south i got to tell you it's's really opened my heart and mind and we're broken and we can either complain about it and argue about it and yell about it and hate each other for it. Or we can do something about it.

I still think we can do something about it. So I just want to be that voice. It's a lonely voice some days, but that's what I want to do. Always ask us, what do you think about the job that Biden has done so far? And jumping on what Charlemagne said, what do you think he could have done better? Look, you know, I respect our president and I'm so glad he won in 2020 because he saved us. He can't do it.

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this, start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson the First, King of Kaperburg. 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? 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.

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.

Radio app, Apple Podcasts, 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 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. On Thanksgiving Day, 1999, a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez.

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

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

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. But again, he's not electable. But to answer your question directly, which I know is rare for politicians, I think it's a lot of promises, a lot of promises. A lot of people promise to do this and that, and then they get into office, and then they love the seats, and they love the chairs, and they love the thrones, if you will, and don't do a whole lot. i think he's a good man i think he served our country well but when you've been there for 50 years you've never had life experience outside of washington dc that's real it changes you man you know it just does you know i come

at it from a different angle i i don't want to condemn him and demean him but i think he's let a lot of people down and i want to do differently. And I think it's time to stop rewarding the wealthy and the well-connected and actually bring people to the table who are not just deserving, but have great ideas and can change this nonsense. Because, you know, we've got a lot. We spend a trillion dollars a year, you know that? A trillion dollars a year defending, defending ourselves, right? But look, we got people sleeping in the streets, kids going to school hungry, you know, racial wealth gaps that are just disgusting.

We have education gaps. We have housing gaps. We food and fuel are too expensive. We're spending all this money around the world trying to keep us safe. We got people sleeping in the streets. So, you know what? We got money for war. We can't feed the poor. Bingo. Question. Was there like an unwritten agreement in Washington that Biden was supposed to only run run for one term look at we all knew that he was going to serve one term you know he said it essentially implied if not explicit and look at people can change their minds and he did i think he's doing himself in the country a huge disservice um but i can't say he told us specifically i will serve one term don't tell anybody but I think that's what we all expected.

And that's why I'm disappointed, because Democrats were disappointed that he was running again. But God forbid you actually get in front of the cameras and say it. You know, I torpedoed my career for doing just that. And so be it. Someone's got to say it. I wanted to ask you that. Are you worried about the future of your political career after this? Do you have a future in politics after this?

Not after becoming president you know seriously i look you know well look at well we can talk a lot of stories but i woke up the morning after the 2016 election i had a really nice life you know we had built belvedere vodka and sold it and built talenti gelato the ice cream brand and sold it oh you i had you you was the one of the owners of belvedere vodka yeah i got a great story to tell you on that one if you want to hear one jay-z and all it break it down yeah yeah well look okay i'll of the Belvedere Vodka? Yeah. I got a great story to tell you on that one if you want to hear one. With Jay-Z and all that? Break it down. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, okay, I'll tell the Belvedere story. Okay. This is actually a good one. So in 1993, my father and I and our business partner go to Poland because we think we can sell schnapps to the Poles. You said your father and you? My father.

So my dad died in Vietnam. I was six months. I'll tell you a quick story. My dad was 26 when he was killed. I was six months. I'll tell you a quick story. My dad was 26 when he was killed. I was six months old. My mom was 24 and widowed. By the way, my dad grew up poor in Minnesota. His dad died.

My grandpa, when he was a kid, he couldn't afford college. He earned an ROTC scholarship, and that's why he went to Vietnam. So my mom was 24 and widowed. We had nowhere to live, and we had to stay with my great-grandparents for three years. And then I got lucky. I got lucky. I got lucky. My mom remarried when I was three years old. Adopted by a father named Eddie Phillips.

Brought me into an amazing family of success and philanthropy. My grandma was Dear Abby. And my aunt was Ann Landers. Yeah. You want some advice? You got some love learning from you guys? Let me help you out. It's a whole other story.

Anyway, I got lucky. And ended up joining the family business out of college and we wanted to expand so we went to poland to try to sell some of our stuff we made schnapps of all things but we get to poland and we see the most beautiful bottle we'd ever seen it was chopin vodka at the duty-free store and then we also discovered belvedere and we changed our whole trip to ask the Polish government if we could be the importers of this beautiful vodka. My dad, on the back of a napkin, looked at Absolute and Stoli, the most beautiful brands of the time, $15 a bottle. And he thought, you know, we can actually take it up a notch.

He liked the idea of when there's two big brands fighting each other, there's a way to go above them. So we did it. And the brand was introduced, and it didn't do that well at first. It was first it was 25 it was very expensive we didn't have a lot of access to the market but i'm getting ready one morning it must have been 1997 a few years a couple years in and i'm i've got mtv on and i see a jay-z video where he's got belvedere he's pouring it big pimping right that was big pimping i don't remember i think i think it was pouring him on people he opened the fridge it's filled with belvedere and i i literally i dropped my razor and i called my this is you know analog error i called my father i'm like dad turn

on mtv of course he doesn't know what channel it was so and i don't worry they're gonna play it 10 times again today we our whole business at that time we had 20 people we sat around the tv in our office waiting for that video to come back on and i I'm telling you, it was a moment I'll never forget. The video comes on and we are just, our jaws hit the floor because we knew everything was going to change. And sure enough, within a couple of weeks, you guys, I mean, the orders started just pouring, pouring in. Wow. So what happens? Jay-Z contacts my father and they have dinner in Manhattan. And the way it was described both by Jay Brown and my dad, Eddie Phillips, is it was a beautiful dinner. And Jay-Z, as he often does, was soliciting advice and business counsel.

And you might know Jay-Z introduced a vodka brand. You know that? Called Armadale. Armadale. I remember that, yeah. Didn't do that well. But that was a result, I think, of that experience. Jay-Z built Belvedere Vodka, and I think that was the first time maybe this whole country recognized that power of influencers back in an analog era.

I remember. Why didn't y'all just give them equity into the company? You didn't ask for it. Really? Wow. Wow. I don't think Jay-Z had his own ideas. At the time, I'm sure he had his own ideas.

But I'm glad you say that, actually, Charlemagne, because our family culture, my grandfather used to tell me all the time, he said, Dean, money is like manure. You stack it up, it stinks. But if you spread it out, it fertilizes. So that was his whole culture and business. He established the first profit sharing program in America in the 1940s. We had secretaries retiring with seven-figure retirement accounts. When we sold Belvedere, we shared it with our employees. When we sold Talenti, we shared with employees because that's kind of the joy of business is to share. So I don't have an answer for you why we didn't share equity with him. But did y'all reach out to any other artists

or even try to have a more long termterm partnership with them or you know we we talked about that at the time and felt that the brand was predicated on authenticity so rather than paying people to position it and market it and you know we just thought it was better to have an authentic brand i'm not going to say we've done that on every brand but on belvedere it was about authenticity so we let people adopt it discover discover it themselves and work pretty well. All right. We got more with Dean Phillips when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Dean Phillips. He's running for president this year. Charlemagne.

I find interesting. Joe Biden said he said himself that he thinks that at least 50 other Democrats could beat Trump. So with that said, why don't more people primary him? Why didn't people take that as an invitation? I'll tell you, Charlamagne, because nobody wants to go through what I'm going through right now, which is the most vicious, atrocious, aggressive attacks you can possibly imagine. And now I understand. Oh, yeah, man. I mean, I mean, it's aggressive. I mean, two months ago, I was a darling in the Democratic Party, and now I'm the devil. And I knew that. And by the way, I knew that.

I knew what I was getting into. But you ask the question, why don't others do it? Well, most people don't want to be subject to it. Most people want to protect their image and their future and their career. That's why you have all these sheep in Washington falling in line, constantly saying the same thing based on the talking points, because they don't want to do anything to hurt the next chance to be reelected. So when I did this, I knew my career in Congress was done and it is. And when I called other candidates whose names are much better known than me, they all said, basically they said no, because they knew what they would be subject to.

And I just wish more people had the courage to stand up right now. And I'm disappointed. You know, Biden, he says that Trump is the end of democracy as we know it, which I agree with. But isn't him skipping out on debates a lack of democracy, too? Thanks for saying it. Thanks for just saying the quiet part out loud. Seriously, Charlemagne, man, that's exactly what I'm trying to say. How can Democrats say we're fighting for democracy, we're fighting to make voting easier and then yet removing me from the ballot in Florida and North Carolina. How can you say you are for they're saying this to voters in New Hampshire that their vote doesn't count, that this is a meaningless primary. And it's true, by the way, Democratic voters in Florida, North Carolina and New Hampshire, their votes don't count because in two states there isn't going to be a Democratic primary in the other state there is and their votes aren't going to matter and this is the united states of america so look i was in the house chamber on january 6th i know what an insurrection is like i know who inspired it and who promoted it and now frankly democrats are doing something to democracy that i think is just as dangerous as the insurrection because at the end of the day one was to prevent the counting of ballots and right now the democratic party

is literally trying to prevent names from being added to ballots and people from even voting on those ballots so that's the truth and they don't want to hear it they don't want me to say it but guys man someone's got to listen what happens to america if biden loses to trump no hyperbole no exaggeration what do you think happens to america if biden loses here's the here's what's to happen. He is on a mission to literally destroy every single institution of democracy. How do you destroy institutions of democracy? You depopulate them. Everybody of integrity, of competency who's serving right now our government, by the way, they work really hard and they make very little money and it's not an easy job. We're going to lose a lot of them. And when you lose them, they're either going to be

replaced with people who are sycophants of Donald Trump or with people who are incompetent. And as he will methodically destroy these institutions, we will no longer have that foundation. Mark my words. And that's what's at risk. And he's, by the way, not just at risk, he's going to win. If it's Joe Biden at the top of the ticket, the whole reason I'm trying to issue this wake-up call to Democrats who are being deluded by the Democratic Party is he is going to lose. Young people in America now favor Donald Trump. Hispanic Americans, Latino Americans favor Donald Trump. 83% of Democrats under 30 want a different nominee. His approval numbers are the lowest in, I think, American history.

And you know what's going on in the black community. I mean, why don't we wake up why wouldn't we have a competition why wouldn't the democratic party want to have a competition it's very weird yeah well why it's very simple when you are connected to power and privilege and prestige you want to protect it and anything that might disrupt it is a threat it's's not about people. It's about the protection of privilege. And here's the other thing about Trump. He's watched President Xi. He's watched Vladimir Putin basically become presidents for life. You don't think, you don't think come 2028, he's going to say, you know what?

I think I'm going to stick around another four years. I've been saying that for years. Of course. Of course. That's what's going to happen. And you talk about the end of democracy. What better represents the end of democracy than someone who says, I'm going to forego the basics of American democracy? What could the Biden administration do to energize people and reverse what we've seen we've been seeing in the polls, if anything? And when I say administration, I mean him and the vice president.

Or if they even can. Envy, I think you just hit the nail on the head. I've been in the consumer products business pretty much my whole life and marketing and packaging, right? You know, I know when a product, it's kind of reached the end of its kind of life cycle when people have kind of moved on. People have moved on.

I don't think there's anything Joe Biden can do to change this, to be honest with you. I think it is fully baked. We live in an era where once your brand is hardened, it's really hard to change. He might say, well, we've got $90 million. And at the end of the day, people are going to see it's democracy versus authoritarianism. How tired is everybody of just trying to vote for the lesser of two evils? How cool did they maybe get excited again about some good stuff?

And that's my hope. But boy, you guys, when only like 15% of Americans turn out and vote in primary elections, we don't have the right then to get upset in a general election. So I hope everyone listening right now, if you really want to give this one more try, go out and vote in the primary

and shake it up. So please vote and let us try to change this nonsense how do people donate the your campaign Dean 24.com okay and I don't consider it a donation I consider it investment you know I talked about ownership I want you to own a part of this campaign you know I don't want just your money I want your ideas I want your time I want your energy I want your your commitment I don't care I don't care your race your religion your your geography your politics, you know I love everybody man, and I'm really concerned about parties that are trying to

Tell us otherwise I'm tired of anger tainment Telling us that we're more divided than we really are so Dean 24..com, if you got five bucks, ten bucks, that's awesome. But more than that, help me spread the word. Post something on social media. Get people to kind of mobilize and share your ideas. I don't know it all. I got a lot to learn. All right.

Well, there you have it. It's Dean Phillips, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, and it was give it to you. Give it to me. Give me that phone. Jay-Z, I want to love you. I want to love you. I want to love you. I want to love you.

Hey, that's a good way to end this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there it goes right there. It's Dean Phillips, ladies and gentlemen. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Thank you. Thank you, guys.

I'm really enjoying myself I went outside Atlanta makes you go outside It just makes you go out. They always outside. But everybody's nice. It is. It's different.

It's so different from New York. Absolutely. Like, people are really nice. The South. People want to collaborate and work.

I'm just, I'm used to having to pull teeth to get things done here. So, I'm definitely enjoying the energy. Nonetheless,

one of the artists that I met out there, his name's Jack Freeman. He has a new record. I think he signed to Michael B. Cox. I met Michael B. Cox out there, too. But the song's called Undress. If you hadn't have told me that Michael B. Cox was a producer on that record,

I would have said, whoever that young man is working with is somebody who knows how to make R&B, so it's probably somebody from OG. Because that sounds like a traditional R&B record. Absolutely. You know what I mean? R&B so it's probably somebody from an OG. Because that's like a, that sounds like a traditional R&B record. Absolutely. You know what I mean? R&B record, yeah. And he's dropping a project soon

so that's just one of the singles off it. But shout out to Jack Freeman. The next record though I'm going to get into is The Game and Big Hit. You know, Hit Boy's dad. Hell yeah.

Hard, hard, hard. Yo, why, why are we not talking about that story more? What's that? The fact that Hit Boy did an album with his dad? That's dope.

Have they even done any conversations about it? I haven't seen it. I haven't heard too many. I haven't seen nothing about it, and I thought it was cool because, you know, I did a tape with my dad two years ago, so I think it's cool to do collaborations with family. That's such a great story. You know what I mean? Because clearly, Hip-Boy is like, what, second generation hip-hop?

You know what I mean? Because his pops, clearly his first generation hip-hop. That's a great story, and that record is hard. That's the Girls Girls Girls Or whatever song they used That's the sample What did they sample For Girls Girls Girls

That sound like The sample of that It's a sample Same sample right Sample of the sample But yeah nah He ate that Love that

And then last night Pause man Damn That's a saying now You call it Atlanta Now you get it Wow Wow

Damn You did say you Running right back to the A too That just Why I And now you get it? Wow. Wow. You did say you running right back to the A, too. That just, I know y'all heard that before. That's crazy. He did a good job. There you go. Okay.

He did a good job. Last but not least, this record been out a minute, but I just wanted to give it a shout out. It's Benny the Butcher and Lil Wayne with Big Dog. It's Luke to Benny the Butcher, man. He was up here earlier today. Shout out to Benny the Butcher. His album, Hard, too. Everybody can't go.

Hard. Love that. Hard. And I love the fact that Wayne is hitting a new gear, I feel like. Wayne is already home. I know, but it's kind of like how Nas said, I'm having a second prime. Second wind. Yeah, I feel like.

Nas has had like, Wayne has had like five of those. Yeah, but he's having one. I guess. I just don't never, I've never. There was a time where I thought Wayne's music was in, but he's having one i don't i guess i just don't never i've never there was a time where i thought wayne's music was in but that's only because i probably was having wayne fatigue but even if you go back and you listen to that stuff now wayne probably the most consistent rapper ever like really for the amount of music that he puts out he's probably like the

most consistent rapper ever between like a him a gucci a future a ross like i'm thinking about people that constantly put music out drake drake oh definitely absolutely yeah i'm sorry yeah absolutely absolutely yeah when you say constantly put you took my albums or you took my songs or everything jay puts out a lot of music no he doesn't yes he does not not in recent times no jay you gotta think wayne has been around just as long as jay i was gonna say wayne just has more catalog than the other people that you named.

Yes. But I will say, there was a time period where I wasn't in love with Wayne versus what he did. I think it was more fatigue. I was like that too,

but I think it was more fatigue than his verses actually being whack. Wayne has not delivered like whack verses. But it was that one time when Wayne started doing the rock and roll stuff,

that he started doing the singy stuff where people fell off Wayne a little bit during that time. But it's still, like think about started doing the rock and roll stuff, that he started doing the singy stuff where people fell off Wayne a little bit during that time. But it's still, like, think about the run. He's been doing,

Wayne has been around since 97, 98. Like, if you was listening to the Baby Gangsta tape, like, Cash Money has been around that long. Right. So it's like,

Wayne's had about four or five different iterations of Primes. That's right. That's true. Well, he's in another one is all I'm saying. All right.
