That's for historically black colleges and universities. That's for students to go. And we try to make sure they have scholarships for tuition, for internships, for books, for lodging, for food, and all that. We raised over $670,000. This is the third year doing it. That was the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. That's right. Now, in three years, the Breakfast Club has raised over $1.7 million.

How crazy is that? And that is for different organizations. That's right. Yesterday, it just felt so good to give back. And not just to celebrities, because celebrities came in. Chadwick Boseman gave $100,000. Michael Rubin gave $125,000 from the 76ers. Partner of the 76ers.

Also, his album is out right now, so we'll kick it with both of them. So let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, women won't be the only ones on birth control.

Now you guys can join the crew. Dramos said, hell yeah. He's tired of getting pregnant. Yeah, he's tired of getting pregnant. All right, we'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on in. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne, the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne will be joining us in a little bit. Let's get some front page news. Now in Thursday night football, the Texans beat the Colts 2017. And Melo, yesterday was Melo's second NBA game in the last year and he did pretty good. I think he scored 18. He looked pretty good out there. So

congratulations to Mello. Alright. Now what else we talking about, Ye? Well, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. People looking forward to that. It is not happening this year. They said the ratings have been going down for quite some time now. It's been around since 1995. And the supermodels, all these standards

of these really thin girls who are very busty. And they said a lot of the, in the name of feminisms, former angel Karlie Kloss quit the show. So the show has definitely lost its sheen, all the controversy with it. So it's not happening. Did they take out like the lingerie department, the lingerie part of it and the swimming suit part of it, something like that? It's not happening, I just said. No, but didn't they take that out beforehand? Oh, I don't know about that.

That's probably why the ratings went down. I just know it's not happening anymore. Okay. Just to evolve the messaging of the company. Okay. All right, four students at Syracuse University have been suspended. I don't know if you've been hearing this. We reported it earlier about all the racist and anti-Semitic incidents that have been

happening on campus. They actually had even canceled all social activities at fraternities for the rest of the semester. That's because a black student said she was verbally assaulted on campus. Four of the 14 people involved in the incident were Syracuse students, and nine of them are enrolled at other universities. Officials have been informed at those universities of the allegations. The student they said who was most aggressive in the incident is affiliated with Rutgers University. There's been 12 reported incidents of racist and anti-Semitic graffiti

found on or near the university's campus. That's crazy. All right. The first male birth control injection is almost ready for penises. Now, this is going down. Thanks to Indian researchers, they've completed a clinical trial on injectable male contraceptives. It is 303 candidates were recruited and there was a 97.3% success rate.

So basically, you'll get a shot in your penis and that birth control method will last approximately 13 years. They do give you a dose of local anesthesia and then they do that. It's like a traditional vasectomy kind of. So let me ask Dramos. Dramos is still out here, right? Dramos is a young man. He's out here. Now, would you get a shot in your penis?

So you know for 13 years you can't get somebody pregnant? 13 years is too much. I'm sure you can reverse it. I don't know. So would you get a shot in your penis? Then you don't got to worry about it at all. I would get a shot in the penis, but not for 13 years. Okay.

Yeah, that's a lie. All right. Well, they do have male birth control pills also. I can't even imagine a shot in your penis. It's not in the market yet, the male birth control pills. Would you rather take the pill every day or get the shot in your penis? I'm a married man, and if I get my wife pregnant. I'm asking dramas.

Oh, okay. What about you, dramas? I would do the probably the pill then because it's 13 years it's a lot of time you gotta remember every day if you forget a day

The person answering the phone yesterday told me he was going to help me, and he never came back to help me. You don't know how to send text messages? No, I was trying. It just wouldn't go through. So I just had to complete my this morning because I was like,

But next year, next year, would you guys consider this organization Habitat for Humanity, Greater Essence County, Oh yeah, I know. and Union County, Hudson County, and Essence County.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

Can I shout out my book?

Sure. Go ahead, man. All right, so it's called The Power of Yet by Michael Benjamin. Of yet? Yes. The Power of Yet. Just because you can't do something today doesn't mean you can't do it yet. Oh, yet.

How are you guys? Good morning. Get it off your chest. I wanted to talk about when people say, mind your business, when my job is your business. Explain. What's your job? I work for a glass company. I'm a security guard.

And when I'm on break, and when you're on break and you're in the car doing your business with other people's property, as that song used to say, then it is my business. So don't be telling me that I'm my business. What they did? What they did in the car? What was going on? Sexual activities in the car.

Oh, you got to mind your business. Mind your business. It is my business. I'm security. So I'm supposed to watch what's going on in the vehicles. Yeah, but that's their vehicles. In the vehicles? No, but you're on property at work.

That's a break, but I'm on break. You're on another property. Come on now. Stop telling me to mind my business. That is very true. Once they had sex on your grounds, they made it your business. That's their call. Well, they should drive somewhere else.

That's right. Somebody pull up in their car on your property and have sex. Is that okay, Andy? That's your business. I agree with you, Mom. Yeah, because you at work, and you're supposed to be on your break. You do what you do on your 15-minute break. Yeah, and plus they're married.

Plus they're married, sleeping with somebody. No, they sleep with each other. They sleep with somebody else's man and woman. Exactly. There you go. That's right. I don't have a problem with what you did, baby. You tell them kiss your glass. They're sneaking around

so they think. Yes. Thank you. Alright. Y'all have a nice weekend. Be safe. Okay. You too. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Naive, we got rumors on the way? Yes. Let's talk about a reality star who is now saying that

she is saved and celibate. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Yeah, we here, baby. Dramos out on tighty-whities.

Listen, let everybody know we here live. Wait, how do you know that? Yes, we are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That's right. We left here at midnight. Now we back here. That's right.

We are back. We're here. midnight. Now we back here. That's right. We are back. Really here. Live. Okay, Change for Change. Last night we raised $671. Over $670,000. Over $670,000 for the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to benefit HBCUs. And for the record, I just want to throw this out there.

That was our third annual Change for Change. We've raised over $1.7 billion. Million dollars. That's what I said. He said billion. Y'all should have let me rock with that. No, it's a lie. He said billion. Y'all should have let me rock with that. No, it's a lie. He's still sleeping.

Why you don't let me rock with that? Let's get... We raised over $1.7 million for various organizations. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk a new trailer. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.

Well, there's a new trailer that's out right now for an upcoming documentary on XXXTentacion. Okay. And the trailer does feature, of course, him, and he's connecting with family, friends, and fans, and you can hear him talking in this trailer. If you're already happy, I can't do s*** for you because you already know what you want.

All I can do is give you my pain and you feed on that to keep you alive. So it's an album. This is a story. This is a full story. And this is the last time I will tell it. And the documentary. And they're calling it his final album, Bad Vibes Forever. It comes out December 6th. I know you say, wow, but the crazy part is context is everything, right?

Because if he was saying this is the last time I'm going to tell this story and he was still alive, it would just be him saying, I'm never talking about this story again. But since he's dead, it sounds like he spoke that on himself. Yeah. All right, Tyler, the creator. He's on the cover of GQ magazine, the 2019 Men of the Year issue. And one thing that he says that made headlines, he talks about his sexuality.

He told the interviewer that he loves women, but often ends up, he said, I like girls, I just end up effing their brother every time. Wow. Disloyal-ass brothers. Wow. Who are these whole-ass brothers? Why would you do such a thing to your sister? My God,

boy, these brothers ain't love. You gotta watch who's in your family. It's like in the movie Soul Food. Yes, man. In the movie Soul Food. Don't leave your brother around me. True player for real. That's Tyler the Sea, God damn it. All right, now French Montana, he's hospitalized.

He had a very scary issue. They said he had intense nausea. And the cops actually came to his house first. They're the ones who made the call to get him rushed to a hospital by ambulance. They said sheriff's deputies were called to his house in Calabasas for a possible robbery. That was a false alarm, but they did determine that French Montana was abnormal. He was out of it. They said he'd been suffering severe stomach pains, nausea and perhaps an elevated heart rate as well.

So he's getting treatment. That includes IV fluids. They said he should have been released later in the evening. You got to take care of yourself, man. That hard partying lifestyle can catch up to you. If you're not eating right and if you're not getting enough sleep and, you know, you're indulging in alcohol and drugs or whatever else it could be.

Well, let's not speculate. We don't know what it is. We don't know what it is. I'm not just speaking about him. I'm just talking about in general. Y'all going to act like that hip-hop rock star lifestyle don't catch up. We don't know what it is. We don't know what happened. I'm not just speaking about him. I'm just talking about in general. Y'all going to act like that hip-hop, rock star lifestyle and don't catch up? I don't know what he was doing. Yeah, it came out any time, but we don't know what happened with him.

Chris Brown, congratulations to him for having his second child with Amika Harris. He has a boy. And, you know, he already has a five-year-old daughter, royalty, so now he has a little baby boy. Congratulations to him. Now, Magic Johnson, let's talk about one regret that he has. What's that? What are you laughing for?

What's that sinister laugh for? Just wait for the story. So, apparently, when he was only 19 years old, after he said he won that national championship after beating Larry Bird, he said, I was about to sign a shoe deal. Converse came in, and everyone at that time was wearing Converse because of Dr. J. So Converse came in and offered me some money. And then this guy named

Phil Knight came in. And Nike was only like one or two years old. He said he doesn't have a lot of money but will offer me stock. I was 19, didn't know a lot. And so the rest is history. So he ended up saying no. No thank you. And told Phil Knight no,

and that was back in 1979. Oh, my God. He signed that deal with Converse. I get it now. I can see why that's your biggest regret. You live from HIV. You good. Equity at Nike?

Nike went public. What? On December 2nd, 1980. So this deal was back in 1979. A year later, Nike went public. And as you know, you know the rest. Nike actually owns Converse now. That's crazy.

I was thinking about it now. Magic is one of those players that's so huge and so elite, but he really doesn't have a signature shoe. Nobody wears Converse or his Converse that he wore. Do you realize that the NBA was trash until Magic Johnson and Larry Bird came into the league? So you're talking about a man that revitalized the whole organization. He could have had stock in equity in Nike that early on.

Yeah. My God. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor. He would never see that because Converse was so big. That was the only sneaker, really, back then. Just when I thought Magic Johnson was the most blessed man on the planet. Oh, he is. He is.

He still is. He's still worth $600 million. But he could have been worth $600 billion. That is true. Jesus Christ. That's one you think about every day. I'm not going to lie to you. All right.

That's one you think about every day. All right. Because you see Nikes everywhere. That is true. Commercials everywhere. Everybody got them on. You never know what something's going to be, though. You got to think it was a brand new company.

He didn't even know about it. But you could think of it like this. Just imagine if he had all that money back then. Because I'm sure he was wilding out in the NBA. He would be wild and wilding out with even more money. I mean... You're right. You're right.

You got front page news here? You're right. Yes, and we are gonna be talking about Twitter. There's a new thing that you can do on there to lead to healthier discussions on social media. There's not much more he could do. There's not much more, I mean. You're right.

You're right. I got there, buddy. You're right. I got there. All right. Rumors up next. I lived. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Good. Good. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Why are you looking at me brushing your hair, bro? Let's get in some front page news.

Now, in Thursday Night Football, the Houston Texans beat the Colts 2017. And Floyd Mayweather announced he is coming out of retirement for 2020, which is weird because didn't he just put out a story that he wasn't boxing anymore? Sounds like somebody just wants some attention. Because literally, they just put out a story yesterday saying that he was never coming back. Well, he said he was retiring from back. Well, he said he was retiring from boxing. Now, I believe he's doing

something with Dana White, but we'll talk more about that in the rumors. Oh, so he's coming out. The UFC? He's not going to no UFC. That's not a retirement, though. That's not announcing

you're coming out of retirement because you never fought in the UFC. Right. Now, he's not going to fight in no damn UFC. I don't know what he's doing, but he's been talking

with Dana White, so. All right. Well, what else we got, Yee? All right. Now, let's talk about Donald Trump. And he is apparently not having a good time with these impeachment hearings. You think?

But he's acting like he is. Now, he said on social media, I've been watching people making phone calls my entire life. My hearing is and has been great. Never have I been watching a person making a call which was not on speakerphone and been able to hear or understand a conversation. I've even tried, but to no avail. Try it live. What is he talking about?

He's talking about impeachment witness David Holmes, a political counselor at the U.S. Embassy, who told lawmakers that he heard Donald Trump loudly discussing his plot to extort Ukraine. Here is David Holmes. I could hear the president's voice through the earpiece of the phone. The president's voice was loud and recognizable. And Ambassador Sondland held the phone away from his ear for a period of time, presumably because of the loud volume. I heard Ambassador Sondland greet the president and explain he was calling from Kiev. I heard President Trump then clarify that Ambassador Sondland was in Ukraine. Ambassador Sondland

replied, yes, he was in Ukraine and went on to state that President Zelensky, quote, loves her ass. I then heard President Trump ask, so he's going to do the investigation. Ambassador Sondland replied that he's going to do it, adding that President Zelensky will do anything you ask him to do. I've definitely heard people talking on the phone while somebody else was on the phone. I definitely have. But you really have to be paying attention to care about the conversation. And it has to be very quiet, too. It has to be very quiet. You have to be have. But you really have to be paying attention to care about the conversation. And it has to be very quiet, too.

It has to be very quiet. You have to be very quiet, and you have to be paying attention to really care about the conversation. That is a kind of wild piece of evidence to bring to an impeachment hearing, though. Well, I guess it's firsthand. He said he heard everything firsthand, and then that along with the transcript of the conversation with the president. Is overhearing enough, though, in an impeachment hearing?

Like, just overhearing a conversation? I mean, it's still hearing it firsthand. You were there, you heard it with your own ears. It's not like secondhand information. You heard it. So if you say you heard what you heard and you heard it loud and clear and you said you've been able to do that before,

I guess it does matter. All right, now on Twitter, you can hide your replies. That's a new feature that Twitter is launching globally. So you can hide certain replies on your tweets. It gives you more control over your conversations on the site. So imagine you write something and then people start saying nasty things in your replies on Twitter. You can hide those replies so other people won't see it, but you'll still be able to see and engage with hidden replies by pressing an icon that will appear on the tweets. So that way, they said some people did not want to hide replies due to fear of retaliation,

and Twitter will continue to get feedback on that issue. But they will also allow you, when you say you want to hide the reply, to block the replier as well. Well, what's the point of that? Because people want the validation. They want the retweets. They want the attention. So what's the point of that? Because people want the validation. They want the retweets. They want the attention. So what's the point? You might not want people saying other things about you.

So maybe you want certain replies to be seen by other people, but other ones not to. So you can hide those so people can't see what you don't want them to see in your conversation. That takes a lot of work to go through those and figure out what you want to keep and what you don't want to keep. Well, some people don't get a whole lot of replies. Some people get like eight or nine.

Whoa. And then you say, let me hide this one. We're not one of those people. They're trying to lead to healthier discussions. Okay. I just say stay off it. Healthier discussions happen just like this. Face-to-face, eye-to-eye.

All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Front Page News. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, when we come back, Hasan Minhaj will be joining us. Yes, indeed. He's got a show on Netflix called Patriot Act. I think it's on season two now. Maybe season three. I'm not sure. All right. Well, we'll kick it with him when we come back, Hassan Minaj will be joining us. Yes, indeed. He's got a show on Netflix called Patriot Act. I think it's on season two now.

Maybe season three. I'm not sure. All right. Well, we'll kick it with him when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Yes, indeed. We got a special guest in the building, Hassan Minaj. Thank you. The host of Patriot Act. What's up, my brother? What's going on, brother? Doing great, man. Thanks for having me. I'm going to tell you Yes, indeed. We got a special guest in the building. Hasan Minhaj. Thank you. The host of Patriot Act. What's up, my brother?

What's going on, bro? Doing great, man. Thanks for having me. I'm going to tell you something, man. One of the greatest stand-up specials, that's not actually a stand-up special because you were sitting down, was you in front of Congress this year. That is so underrated and so hilarious. Really?

I missed it. What happened? Envy, you missed this? Did I miss it? It was on IG. It was pretty popping. Did I see it. What happened? Envy, you missed this? Did I miss it? It was on IG. It was pretty popping. Did I see it? If it was on IG, I see it.

Yeah, so the student loan crisis is a big issue for our generation, I would say for sure. I think it's one of the biggest. Absolutely. And so I was asked to testify about the student loan crisis. They saw my episode that we did on the show about student loan debt, specifically how student loan borrowers are just getting screwed over by Navient, FedLoan, whoever their loan service provider is. A lot of people our age are going into deferment when they should be going into an income-based repayment plan, you know? And they're really screwing themselves over. So, yeah, testify before Congress.

And it was a weird situation. Yeah, but you did it in such a digestible way because you were speaking our language while simultaneously speaking their language, and it was funny and informative. And I was just like, why isn't this everywhere? I don't know. I don't know, man. But when you go into Congress, like, you totally understand why stuff doesn't get done. Ooh, explain.

There's a lot of battle rapping. You know what I mean? Between both sides. There's a lot of clap back. The Republicans are blaming the Democrats. The Democrats are blaming the Republicans. So there's a lot of this. And the issue can't move forward.

It's not solution-oriented. No, it's not solution-oriented. It's not. And to me, the reason why I wanted to testify about it was I actually do feel it's a bipartisan issue. Like for me, I'm like blue or red constituents in both your guys' states and counties have this problem. Trust me, anybody between the ages of 18 to 40 is probably dealing with this and they're going to ask you about it on the campaign trail. So this isn't like an identity politics issue. That's what I felt. I got you. Yeah. You know how there's certain issues you just won't be able to win because they're not able to access it?

Yeah, like police brutality against black and brown people. Criminal justice reform. Like real talk, real talk. It's one of those things where it's like if they don't know anybody who has been involved in the criminal justice system, they won't see the cruelty of it. That's a fact. So for me, student loans was such a rubber meets the road issue because an entire generation in America was told you have to go to college. Correct. It's not even a negotiating thing. You got to go. All right. So if we do this,

why are student borrowers treated like deadbeats? Like the same policies that you have upon people who have gambling debt, the same thing goes for student loan debt. Did you pay off your loans? Now I'm lucky. I'm a child of immigrants. My parents made me live at home, so I don't have crippling student loan debt. I have crippling emotional debt, and that's a different issue. What's that?

Crippling emotional debt? Yes. Just knowing that I could have been out in these streets for four years, but instead I was living upstairs in my childhood bedroom. I just gave Donkey the day

to this guy who got mad because his mom wouldn't let him have sex in the house, so he killed her dog. That's insane. Yeah, he was 39. Jesus. Did you have sex in your house? In your mom's house? Did I have sex in the house. So he killed her dog. That's insane. Yeah, he was 39. Jesus. Did you have sex in your house?

In your mom's house? Did I have sex? This is being recorded and my parents watch everything. Don't try to get me. Are you trying to get me caught up with Seema? I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. No, mom, I would never do that. You know, I kept everything strictly halal in the house and I would just go upstairs to study, to be quite honest. No, honestly, seriously. I believe you did. I believe you respected halal in the house and, um, I would just go upstairs to study to be quite honest. No, honestly, seriously. I believe you did.

I believe you respected the household. I did. I did. But it's kind of crazy what I think about it. I did bring some girls back to like the house. It was insane. Yeah. It's insane.

Now that I think about it. Now you decided on your latest episode of Patriot Act to hit on the topic of mental health. Yes. Why was it important for you to tackle this topic? You've talked about this, man. It's not a thing we talk about in our communities. We just don't.

It's one of those things where it's just like, it's the two solutions to feeling depressed or anxious are hydration and prayer. It's like drink some water and go pray. And if that's not working, you better figure it out. Right. Or drink something harder. Yeah.

Some liquor. Yeah. Or take a nap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, all right, if you know someone who's drinking and sleeping all day, they might something harder. Yeah. Some liquor. Yeah. Or take a nap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, all right, if you know someone who's drinking and sleeping all day, they might be depressed. That's all I'm saying.

And so to me, one of the big things was I wanted to talk about it because there's a huge stigma around it. Then if you do manage to actually try to get the help you need, why it's so hard. Like I know a lot of people that are like, man, I tried to go see a therapist.

Blue Cross Blue Shield gave me this whole list. I called all 200 numbers. 90% of them aren't even taking new patients. Some of them aren't even, you know, practices anymore. Yeah, they're finding a lot of ways to deny people mental health treatment. Exactly. And so what I wanted to do was show, all right, these are the mechanisms that are put in place that are preventing you from getting the care that you needed. Cause I really thought about it. Like I really tried to reach out and get help. And

I was lucky enough that when I was put in a log jam, okay, I could, I could just pay out of pocket, but a lot of people don't have that luxury. So we actually found our news team found there's the law by law you are you are required to have the same amount of mental and physical health care it has to be covered the same there's a 2008 parody and addiction quality yeah and that to me is like what i love most about the show is like we show you all right here's why something sucks here the mechanisms and pulleys in play that are preventing you from getting the thing that you need. And here's what you can do to try to circumvent that. But what made you go to a therapist?

What made you call a therapist and reach out for help? I was talking to friends and I was describing things to them. And they're like, that's not normal. Like a random Tuesday afternoon and my heart is just beating fast. And I'm like, that's how I know I'm alive. Like I'm really living. You have a panic attack. Yeah.

Anxiety. Full on panic attack. Or I'm like, I'm at a doctor's appointment with my wife and we're just sitting in the lobby. My wife was pregnant at the time with our first. And yeah, like shortness of breath. You know what I mean? Just these odd moments where I all of a sudden go into flight or fight.

And I honestly thought like, man, this is normal, because when my perception of mental health, I think of Arkham Asylum. Yeah. Right. We think of straight jackets. We don't think of it as like a gamut, like this spectrum. And just to be honest, I also thought it meant you're weak. Just it's just the way we grew up, right? And you start to understand the more you talk about it, the more you research it, it's just like anything else. You know how exercising and diet

is the new wave? People are like, oh, I don't eat that. I do this instead. Nobody's saying you're weak because of that. This is just about running at an optimum level. That's all. Tell us more about the 2008 Mental Health Parody and Addiction Quality. Because I didn't even hear about this until your show. That's all. All right. You know? Tell us more about the 2008 Mental Health Parody and addiction quality yet, because I didn't even hear about this until your show.

Yeah. So I got schooled. That was the shocking thing, too. So Patrick Kennedy, who's one of the Kennedys you probably don't recognize. He's not one of the popping Kennedys. He's not one of the popular ones. No, no, no, no.

No one cares who he's dating. They're not writing books about Patrick. He unfortunately, you know, he had severe mental health issues. One day, unfortunately, he crashed his car. He was also using substance abuse to help overcome those things. And he realized that became his calling card, his mission, to put things in place that give people equal access

to mental health care and physical health care. Yeah. Yeah. So that's the big thing. Your insurance company legally cannot deny you the same amount of health care, mental health care to physical health care. It has to be the same. All right, we got more with Hasan Minhaj.

When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.

Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

We are The Breakfast Club. podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah, I mean? Like where you're always just like, Allah is watching. You know what I mean?

So it's like, yeah, I would super freak out. I mean, like pepperoni pizza freaked me out in the first grade. Pepperoni pizza? Yeah. You know how we are with swine. Yeah. Yeah. So why'd you eat a pepperoni slice?

Well, this girl that I had a crush on was like, do you want a slice of pepperoni pizza? And you're not going to say no. I'm not going to say no. Whoa. Come on. How do you forgive yourself? I did it. I did it.

And you know what? When I had it, it was so good. I was like, this is why God made it. It's a test. Say what? So you still eat pepperoni pizza? No, that was my first and one time, but I got it. You got it.

Like, I totally understood why. Like, why, like, God says you can't have it so good. But the guilt killed you. The guilt killed me, bro. Damn. Yeah. Did you have to pray it away? Or did you tell your mom that you ate pork? I didn't tell my parents. No. So now they know that bro. Damn. Yeah. Did you have to pray it away? Or did you tell your mom that you ate pork?

I didn't tell my parents. No. So now they know that you ate. Women in the room, and now they know that you ate pepperoni pizza. Yeah, man. Basically, pretty much. Didn't you deal with that? Like, you guys grew up religious, right?

Like, you kind of, and then you do the sort of like, you do the spiritual long division on it. What is spiritual long division? You know what I mean? Like, you go, like, all right, if I go confess, then da-da-da-da-da. And if I pray on this day and I do this many rosaries, you carry the one. That forgave that. You carry the one.

You know what I mean? Charlamagne, you talk about praying when you took your HIV test a long time ago. You prayed every day. I think we've all done that, though. Right. First time you've ever taken an HIV test, especially back in the day when you had to wait two weeks to get the results. What? Yes, we offered a lot of praying.

17 times a day. You know what's so funny, man? Like, the one time that I had to go take a test like that, I don't know what it was, like a blood test and all that stuff. It was the one time I was so glad I was approved. You know what I mean? When they're like, do you have multiple partners? I'm like, no.

Have you ever, like, had sex with needles? I'm like, I don't even know what that is. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I'm just like, like. What's sex with needles? I don't, they'll ask you these just like. No, no, they'll ask, have you ever used needles? Used'm just like, like. What's sex with needles? I don't, they'll ask you these just like. No, no, they'll be like, have you ever used needles? Have you ever sex with needles?

Have you ever sex with needles? They'll ask you these insane questions. Have you ever used needles? And I'm like, man, thank God I'm such a scaredy cat. Like. Oh, no, I was a whore. I was the exact opposite. Really?

You were out here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've talked about this. I've fucked crackheads before. You know what I'm saying? So it's like when you got to write the list down, you don't really want to write the crackheads down. It's like, well, they didn't really count.

That's probably the one you probably got it from. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's bad. Yeah, it's bad. Now, what would happen with the Netflix CEO Reed Hastings? Would they pull the episode of Patriot Act? Well, that that was in regards to an episode that we did about Saudi Arabia.

OK. At the beginning of the year. And, you know, the king of Saudi Arabia sent a letter and said, you know, this is in violation of cyber law that we have. If you speak disparagingly about the kingdom. So they pulled the episode in Saudi Arabia. Oh, just in Saudi Arabia? Just in Saudi Arabia.

Yeah, yeah. And look, it just became a thing because, you know. But what did you say to Maiden Pullet? I mean, I just, I had a hot take. I was like, murder's bad. You shouldn't kill journalists and consulates. That's all you said? I mean, yeah. Hot take! Super controversial take. Ooh, that's edgy! Yeah, yeah, yeah. You really ought to journalists and consulates. That's all you said. I mean, yeah. Hot take. Super controversial take.

Ooh, that's edgy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You really ought to live with that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But look, at the end of the day, I'm just trying to be more entertaining. That's what I learned. I learned you got to be more entertaining specifically about Saudi Arabia, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia specifically.

That's why. I got to be funnier for the prince. I'm serious. I'm serious. No, look, man. This is a learning experience for me I thought about it alright 50 Cent went over there

Janet Jackson went over there Tyga went over there All the heavy hitters So what I gotta do is I just gotta go to Saudi Arabia Get the entire royal family together Go to a hotel Maybe like the Four Seasons in Riyadh

And lock the doors Until they think I'm entertaining enough When you did the White House Correspondents In 2017 right You've been making jokes About the Trump administration And you still think in Riyadh and lock the doors until they think I'm entertaining enough. When you did the White House Correspondents Dinner in 2017, right? You've been making jokes about the Trump administration. Do you still think it's a laughing matter now? What do you mean? Making jokes about the administration?

Of course. Yeah, it's hilarious. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, look, like what's happening right now is like dire, but it doesn't make what he does any less funny. You see when he had like the candy bar and he was putting it on the Minions head? Oh my God.

How is that not funny? That was amazing. And the fact that they had the bucket right there and he was just like, why? Yeah, he put it on the head and then it slid off and went into... It's just like, just be a person. He followed him and put it right on the head. I'm like, what is wrong with him? Yeah, just be a human being. Why has nobody asked him about that? I don't want to know why.

What were you putting it on the kid's head for? Pat the kid on the head. Yeah, it was insane. It's insane. How are you not going to make fun of that? Moments like that where you're like, you're genuinely a strange, bizarre person. Did you ever see the one with the umbrella? He has the umbrella. He's going up the stairs.

He gets to the plane. Doesn't know what to do with the umbrella. You close an umbrella if you're a human being. He just leaves the umbrella there. It blocks the door and he keeps walking. Well, you're probably not even used to holding his own umbrella. You know what I'm saying? Rich guy like that his whole life probably had somebody holding him. He had a father who had been with him his whole life. Right, right, right.

So he blocked the plane. Nobody could get on behind him. Goodness gracious, though. It's just a weird, bizarre thing. What have you learned about the mental health space since you did this episode? What have I learned? I think the biggest thing that I've learned are the ways in which

insurance companies will deny treatment. One of the things that's the scariest is the fail-first model. So say you have, unfortunately, a child who's dealing with severe depression or anorexia. You know the treatment that they deserve. You know the specialist they may need to go to. Your insurance company is going to make you

fail-first at a sh**ier, lower thing. Then you have to upgrade to the next medication, then the next, then the next, then the next. And there's all these terrible human interest stories where kids, teenagers are dying early because of suicide and other things because they didn't get the care that they needed. Yeah, their excuse is they don't want to get kids hooked on high-profile drugs or strong drugs. They try smaller things out, smaller dosage to see if those work first. Sure, but what about something like in-home treatment, which is very expensive? Right. And you know your child needs that.

You know, we showed a story of a girl. Unfortunately, her older sister had passed away from suicide, and she was feeling the angst and that depression, and they asked for in-home care, and she was feeling that the angst and that depression. And they asked for in-home care and she was denied that in-home care. And she ultimately also took her own life. Stuff like that. When you do your jokes, do you ever not do a joke because you know that your mom and dad will be watching? No, it's not that.

Actually, the biggest thing to me is whenever I do a joke, I'm trying to think about where, what hell am I trying to die on? For real. It's not even about mom and dad. Like I'm grown now. Like I'm at the point now where like if mom and dad say something about a joke, I go, mom, not even about mom and dad. Like I'm grown now. Like I'm at the point now where like if mom and dad say something about a joke, I go, mom, dad, like, come on. Like I paid for the last vacation. You can't tell me that.

Like you can't tell me that. But it really is like, all right. If all of these things are going to be analyzed and scrutinized, like for me, if I'm going to point it at something, it better be worth it. For me. You know what I mean? Is there a hill to die on in 2019? There's a lot of hills to die on, man. There's a lot of powerful people to make fun of.

You know what I mean? There's a lot of things to make fun of. I don't think none of them are worth dying on, though. And I realize that when you start debating about certain things, you're like, I don't really care about this. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have an opinion and you state your opinion.

Like last week when T.I. got in trouble with everybody. His daughter's hymen stuff, yeah. You know what I mean? When he was yeah, yeah. Like, you have an opinion, and you state your opinion. Like, last week when T.I. got in trouble with everybody. His daughter's hymen stuff, yeah. You know what I mean? When he was talking about checking his daughter's hymen. I thought that might have been a bit much, but I can understand an overprotective father. Yeah, no, no, no, no. Like, all that stuff, to me, that's not— I'm talking about a hill to die on is when I went to Congress and was like,

you have got to acknowledge that this is a problem that is affecting a general— That is something where— Got you. You get what is something where. Got you. You get what I'm saying? Got you. What Kaepernick was trying to stand for. That is a hill to die on. Got you.

The conversation that was happening with the NBA in China. Like, we have these huge global brands with censorship. What are we going to do about it? Got you. That's a hill to me. Okay. That makes sense. You know what I mean?

Because that's a real conversation. Got you. Not stupid ass. Yeah. Twitter outrage. Yeah. You called so-and-so this. Like, to me, I mean? Because that's a real conversation. Gotcha. Not stupid ass Twitter outrage. Yeah, you called so-and-so this. Like, to me, I'm like, I'm not even worried about that. That's not even, you know what I mean?

You only have so many shots, you know? Yeah. That's it. I get it. Yeah. Well, we appreciate you joining us. Thanks for coming. Asan Minaj.

Asan Minaj. The new season of Pitch Track is out now. It's right now, every Sunday. Gotcha. All right, check it out now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Appreciate you guys.

Hey, hey, hey. Morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yesterday was Change for Change. We were here the whole day from 6 a.m. to 12 midnight, and we raised over $670,000. That's right, baby.

Right, and the efforts don't stop after last night. You can still donate to Change for Change. All you have to do is text the word change. What's the number? To 52182. Or you can go to www.bc, that's for Breakfast Club, bcchange, the number 4, change.com, bcchangeforchange.com. And I also want to say, man, that over the past three years, the Change for Change Radiothon has raised over $1.7 million to benefit various organizations. Yesterday was the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, which goes to HBCUs.

Last year was Project 375, which helps to eradicate the stigma of mental health. And the year before that was the Gathering for Justice movement, okay? Yep. So when you talk about all the ratchetness and all the things you don't like about the Breakfast Club, just make sure you talk about the good stuff, too. Correct. Okay? All right. If you don't, I'm going to take this SMD.

See, there go the ratchetness. There's the ratchetness right there. It's about balance, baby. That's where they get it from. That's the wholeness that I'm striving for in life. The wholeness. Talk about positive things and then tell people to... SMD.

What's wrong with telling the devil to SMD? You wouldn't tell the devil to SMD? No, because I don't have one. Oh. That is true. You tell him to kiss your ass. That is true. All right, well, we got rumors on the way.

What are we talking about? Well, I mean, in that case, let's talk about Judge Joe Brown. You want him to ask your D? No, I would never disrespect that black man like that. Well, I'll tell you what he said, because you just said. I heard it, but that don't mean I would disrespect him. He's got a difference of opinion. Okay.

All right, well, we'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. All right. Well, I guess we'll start with that story. Let me find it because that's not what I had here. You don't got to listen to him.

Judge Joe Brown is not too happy about the Breakfast Club. Now he went on social media to call us out. And I think it's because of this conversation that we commented on. This is what Judge Joe Brown had to say about Harriet Tubman and feminists. All about the $20 bill. Okay, but you don't have a problem with a black woman, and in this case Harriet Tubman, being memorialized. I got a big problem if it's on a bill before they put a black man's face on one.

I have a big problem with that. Why do you have a problem with a black woman? Because historically, the status of an ethnic group is determined by its men, not its women. And that you put a black woman on there before a black man is insulting to the black race because you're saying the men ain't worth a damn. Put a woman up there first. Now, we do not agree with those sentiments. Right? Am I correct in saying that? I don't agree with that at all.

I thought what Judge Joe Brown said was ignorant, and I said that he sounded like the type of person Harriet Tubman would have shot. It sounds very chauvinistic to me. Yeah, Harriet Tubman was a great leader who led women and men to freedom. She's a real life superhero. To say she shouldn't be on a $20 bill because of your twisted perception of patriarchy is just stupid. Well, he posted, I've challenged these moist, soggy,

jelly-filled breakfast Pop-Tarts to a debate. I like Pop-Tarts. Let's see if they've the cojones to debate me on manhood. I'm betting they don't. Let's see if they've... That's a good scrubber....cajones to debate me on manhood. I'm betting they don't. It's got bilingual in it. Here's the thing, Judge Joe.

You don't become the leader because of your agenda, okay? Presence is more than just being there, all right? And Harriet Tubman's presence is still felt to this day. How would Judge Joe Brown feel about Julia Roberts on the $20 bill? That's what I want to know. Well, you know what? He said if it weren't for men's egos, you'd still be living in caves and gathering

instead of shopping. Just a reflection. And by the way, Judge Joe Brown could come up here anytime. In fact, he was scheduled to come on the show. What was this, a couple years ago? Yeah, but... Back in the day. But he, well, for some reason, he was under the impression that we would buy his plane ticket. Yeah, he wanted a plane ticket. To get him here. And car service.

Yeah, he wanted a plane ticket. He wanted car service. Well, if he was a woman, I would have. No, we wouldn't. No, we wouldn't. I said I would have. We have never paid for a plane ticket. We've never done car service. I don't know what type of show he thought this was, but it ain't that kind of operation. Maybe he thought it was like a

fake show that we would just have a big argument and then... Who did he call moist? And soggy. So you mad about moist, but you don't have a problem being called soggy. He saw Envy's weave. He saw Envy's hair and he was like, it looks moist. Look ahead of you. And soggy. So you don't mind, you're mad about moist, but you don't have a problem being called soggy. He saw Envy's weave. He saw Envy's hair and he was like, it looks so moist.

You don't have a problem that you were called jelly-filled? No, jelly-filled's nice. Okay, yes. All right, now let's talk about Ray J versus Princess Love. We told you that Princess Love was upset because she said that Ray J left her stranded in Vegas. She posted, left me and Melody stranded in Vegas and blocked me from calling. Now you want to post family photos. Hashtag buy ugly.

And then she posted that he had blocked her on Instagram. Well, Ray J says that is not true. Here's what he responded. To insinuate that I would do anything to harm my daughter was sad, man. I'm at the Skyloft right now, as you can see. And I just don't understand how somebody can get stranded, and we never left. We've been right here. I apologize for everything that's happening. We're supposed to be at the tightest. We're having another baby coming in, and these are not the things we're supposed to do. The devil's

working, but he's not working hard enough, and he will never work hard enough because my family is something that I will always die for. All right, Ray J also was live expressing his feelings, and actually Princess Love left a comment on his live under their daughter's name, Melody Love Norwood. She said, Filing for divorce when I get back to L.A.

Now, Princess Love has told her side as well. Here's what she said. He asked me to move to Vegas. And I'm like, no, I don't want to move to Vegas. And so he's like, well, can you at least consider it? And I'm like, no, I don't want to move to Vegas. It's not even considering it. I don't want to move to Vegas. It's not even considering it. I don't want to move to Vegas.

This is not the place to have kids. All right, so I guess that's the issues that they're having now. What do you do when your significant other wants to live someplace and you don't want to live that place? Who, me? In general, how do you compromise? I'm a soggy, moist man, so I'm listening to my wife. Happy wife, happy life. I'm listening to my wife. Happy wife, happy life.

I'm listening to my wife, too. Now, depending on the situation, if it's something that can make our lives better, you know what I mean? I'm going to do that. It depends what it is. Like, for instance, if it's work and I have to work. I got to go, we got to go. And we got to get this money, we got to pay for it, then we got to go. But if it's something I have an option, I listen to my wife.

Yeah, I'm going to do what's best for her and the kids. Now, Ray J said, my heart has been heavy for the last past week. I miss my baby Melody so much it hurts. I'm so sorry the world has to watch a young relationship like ours fall down. In order to be solid in a relationship, you have to keep people out of it and let God work it out, but this hasn't been the

case. I will continue being the best man and father I can be, no matter what's on the other side. Without respect, there is nothing. Love took a L this time. Alright, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Shala Bain! Yes, sir. Who are you giving that down with you two? Four after the hour. I gotta go to

my favorite state in the whole world. This place called Florida. You know what your Uncle Shala always says about Florida, but today we're gonna have a conversation about compassion. Okay. Alright, this is a teachable moment. The world needs more compassion. Alright, we'll get into that next Keep It Locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country

falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag and 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'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 I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves.

What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket 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.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

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's a breakfast club, bitchy. Donkey of the day with Charlemagne the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Well, Florida, Donkey of the Day for Friday, November 22nd,

goes to a 73-year-old Boca Raton man. That's what it is? Boca Raton. Boca Raton. Come on, man. Stop. It's Florida, so it is kind of rotten. Boca Raton.

All right. A Boca Raton man named Sandy Hawkins, all right, who is facing criminal charges after an incident he had this week in a bank in Florida. Now, what does your Uncle Sharla always tell you? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. This is never changing, people. This is not an opinion. This is science.

It's been proven over and over and over again, and today's story is no different. Now, in life, I believe we need more compassion for one another. We need more compassion for ourselves. The more compassionate you are, the more conscious you are, okay? You're conscious of how you feel. You're conscious of how others feel. Compassion is a human capacity that has evolved

with our species to fulfill a specific function. What is that function you say? I would say the alleviation of our suffering. Notice I said are. Okay? All of us that are coexisting on this planet together. This big old rock. Okay? See, when you have compassion for others, you make life easier for everybody.

Because you're not just thinking about yourself. You're thinking about how your actions affect other people and you're thinking about how other people feel. So I have to give Sandy Hawkins some credit. Okay? This person is a compassionate human. Okay? In fact, some would say a compassionate criminal, all right? We need more of those in our society. I mean, people are going to commit crimes,

but some of y'all need to be nicer about it, okay? Now, once you hear the story, you will understand. Let's go to WPTV, NBC5 for the report, please. A 73-year-old West Boca man is in jail, accused of robbing a bank. What makes this odd is that investigators say he gave some of that money back during the alleged robbery. That man, Sandy Hawkins, is here in the county jail and those

who know him describe him as a nice elderly man whose life, they say, apparently took a bad turn. The sheriff says Hawkins, wearing a Make America Great shirt, passed a note to a teller at this Wells Fargo on Monday saying he had a weapon and demanding $1,100. Investigators say Hawkins gave back some of the cash when the teller gave him too much. He lost his wife and he wasn't happy anymore. Friends of Hawkins say Hawkins was despondent, no longer working, and living with a friend just a mile or two from the bank and talking of moving to Canada or even Mexico. The arrest report says deputies found Hawkins a day later sitting on an electrical box.

Friends say it seems Hawkins wanted to be caught. I think he wanted to get caught so he could be taken care of. Now let's unpack this, okay? Let's unpack this through the lens of compassion. He seemed to be committing crimes out of necessity. Now I would say, you know, Sandy, if you're going to take a penitentiary chance, just take it. All right, you're not getting less time because you took less money.

The charge will be the same. If you're going to do it, just do it. Who robs a bank for exact change, okay? Now, question this man. Okay, I got a question, all right? This man is 73 years old. He robbed a bank for $1,100. They gave him $2,000, and he gave $900 of it back. All right, now think about it. When you go to restaurants and they give you the money back, you know and he gave $900 of it back. All right?

Now, think about it. When you go to restaurants and they give you the money back, you know, they give you too much change back, or you accidentally give people too much money, or when you lose money and then the person returns it to you, think about the respect you have for those people, okay? Think about that. Think about how that restores your faith in the world. All right?

With that said, should the justice system have compassion on Sandy Hawkins? Let's think about it. The man lost his wife to cancer. He's 73 years old. He wasn't happy. He wasn't doing

great financially. He just wanted to be caught so he could be taken care of. Do we have compassion for him? Okay, because he don't have to get donkey if we can take a vote in the room.

Angelique, do you have compassion for this man? Uh, kind of. There's some extenuating circumstances. Okay. Envy, do you have compassion for this man? I got one question. I didn't hit the first part.

Did he bring a gun into the back of his note? No, he had a stick-up note that said, give me $1,100 now. Oh, yeah, I have compassion. Yeah, and the teller counted out $2,000. Yes, I have compassion. Okay, let's play a game first. Guess what race it is! All right. Okay, let's play a game first. Guess what race it is! All right.

Okay, let's play a game before we decide. You confused me a little bit, so let's go. Sandy Hawkins. Sandy, okay. Florida. Florida. 73 years old. 73.

Went into the bank with a Make America Great Again shirt on. Yes. Gave him a note that said, give me $1,100 now. Correct. All right. Right. People say he wanted to get caught because he wanted somebody to take care of him because his wife died

six years ago. Do you have compassion for this man? Right. You saw me? Yes. This is the confusing part. You said he wore a MAGA shirt, right? Yes. But then you said he wanted to go to either Canada or Mexico, right? Ooh, I didn't think of that.

That kind of confused me. I kind of confused me. Okay. MAGA, Ooh, I didn't think of that. That kind of confused me. I didn't think of that. That kind of confused me. Okay. MAGA usually, I'm thinking white, but then Mexico, he don't want to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm a little confused. MAGA lovers wouldn't want to go to Mexico, would they? Exactly.

Maybe Cabo. Maybe Cabo. I'm going white. Okay. I feel like there has to be a twist in here somewhere. Okay. Because it's too easy to just assume white from all of those clues. Make America Great Again shirt, Florida.

Robbed a bank for exact change. Upset about his wife dying. Yes, just want... Goodness gracious, ye. That's a twist. Just wanted somebody to take care of him. Goodness gracious, ye. See, I would say that he's white, but I feel like I should say something else.

Like what? I don't know, maybe Hispanic. Oh, come here. Angela Yee, DJ Envy. Yes, yes. One of you is right, one of you is wrong. And so I'm going to have to say DJ Envy, you are correct. Yes!

He is Caucasian! That was too easy. He is Caucasian. Let me see Sandy Hawkins' picture, y'all. All right. Yes, he is. Now, with that said. He is white.

Do we still have compassion for him? Do we still have compassion for him? He wanted to go to jail because he wanted somebody to take care of him. I still have compassion. Think about all the brothers and sisters in the hood who was just out here selling a little crack because they needed to keep the lights on because they just needed to take care of their kids. Think about all the colored folks who have committed crimes just because we wanted to take care of our families. I didn't say he shouldn't go to jail.

I just said I had compassion for him. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't have no compassion for him. Let Kathy Griffin give him the biggest hee-haw. Please give this giant child male the biggest hee-haw. I'm still compassionate. He's going to go to jail, but still. Let Chelsea Handler give Sandy Hawkins the biggest hee-haw.

Hee-haw, hee-haw. That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. Yeah, I'm sorry that his wife died as well. But he's white. He should have a nice little pension plan. He had a nice little Social Security. He's had every opportunity in his 73 years of life to get ahead. All right?

My goodness. I just don't have that. All right, well, thank you for that, Duncan. I want somebody to take care of him. The twist was there was no twist. We're the ones on welfare, according to them. Okay, all right. He wanted somebody to take care of him. All right, well, thank you for that, Duncan. I want somebody to take care of him. The twist was there was no twist. We're the ones on welfare, according to them. Okay, all right. He wanted somebody to take care of him.

All right, goodness gracious. When we come back, Partisan Fontaine will be joining us. Party! His album is out right now. It's called Underrated. Well, it's not an album. It's a project. A project.

His project is out right now. All right, we'll talk to him when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Party. Partisan Fontaine. Party. My guy. What's up, boy? You haven't dropped more than two songs in a year since 2015.

Nope. Okay? Selective. But you got underrated out now. Mm-hmm. Not supposed to be here. That was four years ago, right? Yep, 2015.

Why you be afraid to drop music, man? It ain't about that. It's just like trying to figure out the timing and the visuals. I'm a perfectionist, so I get in my own way a lot. But, you know, it always works out. It always lines up perfectly. Now, is this a mixtape, a project, an album? I'd be confused.

It's a project. It's a mixtape. I was just itching to get some music out to the world. So that's what this was, my first opportunity to put some real music out. Now, it's a theme where you're not supposed to be here, right? That was your first full body of work, and the first song on this album is not there yet.

Absolutely. At what point will Pardee feel like he's arrived? I don't know. I feel like once you feel like you've done it and you've arrived and you're settled in, I think that's when you're done. Yeah, but you got a platinum. You got a platinum single.

You got ghostwriting credits. You're getting money. I'm sure you done got some industry at this point. We got a lot more further to go than that. You know what I'm saying? I'm still not there. How do you decide what you're going to give away and what you're going to keep?

Because you gave away a lot of hits as far as writing is concerned. What's for me is I know when I go in I'm doing stuff for me. You know what I mean? And if I'm working

with somebody, obviously we already got this person in mind. That's how we do it. You're not really a ghostwriter per se though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not at all.

Co-writer. Co-writer. I helped out a few of my friends. The funny thing about that is everybody brings up like the same two people, you know what I'm saying,

or the same songs all the time. Nobody brings up like the stuff that like I'm most proud of or I think is like the most impactful. Like what?

Like, uh, Seleno and Barnes injury attorney. Shut the f*** up. Hey, dude, knock it off.*** up. You ain't do it. Knock it off. Facts. You wrote that for real?

If you got a long-term settlement and you need cash now. Yeah, right there. Call. That would be impressive. Salino, that is impressive. You know how long? Everybody knows my work, but nobody brings it. We are farmers.

Party, you ain't that old. Why would we know that? I've been listening to that as a kid, Party. You're not that old. I heard you wrote that for. Bro listening to that as a kid, Party. You're not that old. You wrote that for? Bro. We are farmers. No, Party.

I've been listening to that as a kid. You're not four years old. Listen to me, bro. Listen to me. And this is why I be so baffled. I'm like, yo, y'all bringing up the same songs. I got all the... Every kiss begins with...

Party Lion, man. You almost had me for a second there. You do got one record on your project on the new joint Underrated that I heard and I said, he should have gave that

to somebody. Tough tune, though. What'd you talk about? What was that? Good for you. I knew you was gonna say that. Why? Tell me why you knew

I was gonna say that. Cause, I mean, that's the only record where I'm doing anything outside of what people know me for. Yes. That is very true. So I had to anything outside of what people know me for. Yes. That is very true.

So I had to think about, as I was listening to it, I was like, I feel like he should have gave this to somebody. But then it is a good record. Right. Yeah. Right. That's like Afro beats or something, right? It's what my boy Swanko did.

That's my homie DJ Swanko who did the production. He did the Pig Booty Hose. He had that in there, but he just gave it some type of island vibe. We did that song like three years ago. Yeah, about three years ago in my living room. My mom crib. The same time you was on The Farmers? Nah, that was a while. I did that before.

That's before y'all ever knew me. That's crazy. You work with certain people and they just get you a whole different light. But y'all been hearing me for years. These guys lying. Nah, no cap. Yo, but so I got in there. I'm like, and I did the hook right then and there.

And I just knew I had something. I knew it was like, all right, if I'm ever going to step out, I wouldn't know me for it. This is going to be the time. So I had to put that on the project. I just think it's weird that in an era where people flood the market with music, you choose to do the exact opposite. And now when I drop, people are so excited.

Everybody come. They want to listen to it because they know it's going to be a quality body of work. I feel like everybody can put out this, that, and the third. And I feel like I still got fans that talk about not supposed to be here because it took such a long time for me to put it together. And I took my time and crafted it. It was a baby, you know what I'm saying? It took me a whole nine months to make it and then put it out.

But now it's something that I stand to test the time. Like, if you go back to that, you'd be like, yo, he been nice. Yes. For people that don't know, you've been grinding for a long time. People think a lot of times overnight success happens right away. Right. How long have you been grinding, and what's some of the jobs you did while you were rapping?

Boy, oh oh my God. I've been at this for like 10 years. And in that 10 years, I done been a sales associate at Saks All Fifth. I don't know. I worked at the Nike outlet at Woodbury Commons. Woodbury Commons? Yeah, I was there. I've been a substitute teacher. What did you teach?

In Newburgh, if you got any type of associates, you could teach anything. I taught Spanish. I taught science. You taught Spanish? Yeah, don't know a lick. They give you a worksheet and just push you in there with the kids.

But I was like a kid's favorite, so it was like... When you were a substitute teacher, did you wear your hat all the time too? Nah, they didn't let me wear the hat. They didn't let me wear the hat. But I wasn't expecting to be there that long, so I went in and I told them my first name. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm Mr. But I wasn't expecting to be there that long. So I went in and I told them my first

name. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I'm Mr. Jordan. I'm trying to be the cool teacher. Now I'm in here for six months. I'm like, ah, I'm going to make them respect me now. You know what I'm saying? They called me by my first name and whatnot. But it was still a dope experience. How old were you then? Twenty

three. And they were middle school kids? Yeah, I refused to go to the high school because I knew that... You had to fight. Bro, something. You know what I'm saying? Yo, bro, the middle school girls was like trying to touch me.

Like, yo, I'm going to tell my mom you should be my baby. So I'm like, what are you talking about? Watch out. You feel me? Because the age gap wasn't that big in their head. So I'm like, I'm definitely not going to go to the high school.

It's going to be like, whole case waiting to happen. They're going to try to put high school. It's going to be like an old case waiting to happen. They're going to try to put something on me. The one thing I've always liked about you is you've always repped Newberg, right? And I like when I don't know an artist, but they tell me where they from. So what do people not know about Newberg? Because you make it sound like it's a s***.

I do? Yes! For real? You make it sound like some place you should never go unless you from there. It's hood hood. Nah, it is a hood. It's absolutely a hood. And I think that the thing I really try to get across about it is that people don't know what it is. You know, it is foreign to a lot of people. Unless you did time, unless you sold drugs and you moved some weight up there, you probably don't know where it's at. But the other thing is there was nobody else from there.

Like, you know how you got certain cats. You got Cam that could rep Harlem. You got Jones. You got Joel Santana. Even Yonkers got Lox and whatnot. Brooklyn got numerous people. Newberg never had one success story. In hip-hop, you mean?

In hip-hop or any entertainment that I know of, you know what I'm saying? There's nobody that we ever could look to to be like, all right, they did it, so I could do it that way. When I was coming up, that's probably why you ain't hear that much music from me. There was no rapper that I could be like, all right, they did it, so I could do it that way. When I was coming up, that's probably why you ain't hear that much music from me. There was no rapper that I could be like, yo, how you did this? Nobody could take me under the wing.

Nobody could give me a cosign. Nobody could show me the right way to do none of that. So I had to figure it out. And that's why it's so important that I always talk about Newberg, because I feel like now I'm giving them an opportunity. Me being right here is like a big step. Like, oh, party at my own breakfast club.

You know what I'm saying? So I'm just happy that I could do that. All right, we got more with Partisan Fontaine when we come back. Let's get into his joint. It's called Pay Your Bills. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Partisan Fontaine. Charlamagne? What'd you grow up vibing to? Me, my personal influences in this was DMX and Kanye. Those are the two people that let me know, like, I gotta have a voice in this.

They like, the stuff that they talk about was stuff that related to me. Because I grew up in a church. Like, I was in church five days a week. I couldn't even listen to rap in my house you know i'm saying so for uh for dmx to be talking about all the gospel stuff that he did on that flesh my flesh blood of my blood um it resonated with me and then kanye making uh the big gap between being like benny siegel and common sense rapping about working in retail and doing all this

other stuff like that let me know I had a story and my story could be told too. You know Kanye wanted you to write for him because of a line about retail? Bro. When you said, I got to stay out of Gucci. I'm getting too many hangers.

That line hard though. I'm pumping around in hangers or something like that. That line hard. Who works for her? He called me up. That was a crazy story too. How was that call? How did he reach out to you? Oh my God. First off, who's working with, who works with her? He called me up, yo, that was a crazy story too. How was that call? How did he reach out to you? Bro, oh my

God. First off, I hit up Pusha and I'm like, I'm like, I wanted to get Pusha on my tape. And I'm like, yo, I got a joint. He's like, yo, that's crazy you hit me up. Um, Kanye was just talking about you. I'm like, what? He like, yeah, uh, can I give him your number? I'm like,

yeah, you give him my number. You know what I'm saying? He'm saying like I bet he gonna hit you up. I go and do a show Go to a show somewhere and by the time I got back. I had a text message. I said yo, yo, this is yay Can I call you and I'm like you gotta hurry up before I call you Like I couldn't believe it. So he got on the phone and he just was talking about all his ideas that he had for the project and what he was dealing with and how he wanted to express himself. And if he's like, yo, could you come to LA tomorrow? I'm like, nah, probably not tomorrow. I got a kid and all that.

But I can come out this week. And we flew out. Cool ever since. I respect that. I respect the fact that you put your family first. You know what I'm saying? Some people would just drop their kid and be like, ah. Kanye, come on. I flew out. Cool ever since. I respect that. I respect the fact that you put your family first. You know what I'm saying? Because some people would just drop their kid and be like, ah. Kanye called.

I'm out. I'm out. 99% of the people would have dropped their kid. Nah. Hell yeah. Kanye called. 85. Hey, Kanye, I'm out of here now.

But nah. How was working with him? Did y'all work on a song? Did y'all work on music? Yeah, we worked on the Ye album. It's funny, too, because we started working in Calabasas, and he already had his seven song ideas.

And it was fire. Everything was fire. I'm like, we working on this stuff. And by the time we got to Wyoming, he had scrapped all of those seven songs and wanted to do seven new songs, and that's what he did. Did you open with the gospel album?

No, no, no. Not that one? Surprisingly, though, too. Because I'm super gospel. You know what I'm saying? That's my background. I don't believe nothing you're saying. You don't believe what?

That's your background. You don't think so? No. You want to test it? Yeah. What's your favorite scripture? Psalms 34. What is it?

Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Knowing the scripture, memorizing them, going up on church

on Easter Sunday doing a little passage. I always messed it up. I can't remember none of those. But I definitely was in there five days a week.

I'm looking up Psalm 34 right now. Psalm 34 is the 34th psalm of the book of Psalms. And what does it say? A psalm of David when he pretended

to be a man. That's the one. That is the one. Stop, man. Yes, that is it. That's the one. We are farmers. That's, stop, man. Yes, that is it. That's the one. We are farmers. That's my favorite one right there.

Oh, I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise will continually be in my mouth. See, I knew it was in there. You feel me? That's a pause. You got to pause that. Praise. Praise.

Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise.

Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise.

Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise.

Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise.

Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise. Praise.. Let me put this out there, yo. He's trying to pause the Bible, bro. He's trying to pause the Bible.

You got to pause Jesus. Yo, you cannot tell me this scripture don't sound wild, bro. I'm not messing with you. I will bless the Lord at all times. I will bless the Lord. You got to chill out. You better chill out. You've been having a good year.

You better chill out, man. Hey, yo, when you just, when you strike them, you know what I'm saying? God know my heart. God is laughing at that one. That's the sinner's favorite line, too. That's the sinner's go-to. Like, you feel me?

I don't care what you're doing. When you're doing dirt, that's the one. Now, Ryman. We did the record, Ryman. Ryman don't get a lot of love in hip-hop, man Which is wild to me When you talk about basketball references I had to think about it

I'm like, damn You hear rappers say, get the board like Rodman But you did a whole song Was that a dedication to him? Do the dirty work like Rodman I don't know what I was thinking I don't know what happened But he was definitely an icon

One of the most iconic basketball players we had. Yes, and then it seemed like good timing because then the Rodman documentary came out. Came, just so happened.

He actually reached out too. Why? Yeah, he's like, yo, that song's crazy. My kids love that song. They won't stop playing the song.

All of that. He gave me like two autographed jerseys. That's dope. Yo, funny thing is, he came to New York and he was like, and he hit up my management. That's dope. Yo, funny thing is, he came to New York and he was like,

and he hit up my management. He's like, yo, I want to go to some type of, I forget the type of spa it was. But I'm like, bro, I ain't about to go to no spa with Dennis Rodman. He asked you to come to the spa? Some type of spa, bro. And then I looked it up and it happened to be one of those joints where you're all like in this hot bath or whatever.

Oh, yeah. Psalm 34. I will bless Dennis Rodman at all times. to be one of those joints where y'all all like in this hot bath or whatever oh yeah psalm 34 i'm like bro i'm like yeah i can't do this bob bro tell him we got something to do today did y'all meet at all y'all still ain't meet no we still i'm um we supposed to link up we want to do like some uh some merch stuff, but he's definitely a cool dude, though. He did The Spa. That's crazy. That's wild.

How many people would have done that? Going to The Spa with Dennis Rodman? Not just for the first meeting. I don't know where that guy's coming from. I don't know. That's still crazy. Yeah, I don't know. Let's talk about Rap Shalaman.

One of my favorite records. I could be biased. Just a little bit. I love that record. Who did that? It was Boy Wonder, right? Yep. Yeah. You did it, but then Nicki Minaj did... I don't know who did what first, but I know Nicki had the hard white joint.

What happened with that record? Why couldn't you still use it? Because I don't understand why in hip-hop we can't have rhythms. Like they do over there, right? Did you make a joint? I don't know. To my knowledge, I thought I had it first. I thought it, the funny thing is Wanda made it, but him and Vinylz are very close.

So, and I'm cool with Vinylz as well. So that's why I ended up watching Vinylz made it. So you know it's going out. That's where I got it from. I laid it down. I was ready to put it out. I'm actually playing it on my IG story. And then I believe Wonder called like, yo, I think somebody else got that beat.

And he looked into it. Lo and behold, it was Nicki. Whoa. You know what I mean? And I'm like, oh, that's crazy. So it was nothing I could really do about it. But wait for her to drop. And she did.

And then I was like, all right, man, I'll just put out a freestyle. And I put it out as a freestyle. And I put it out as a freestyle, but apparently that couldn't live neither. They snatched it off the, off the internet. They pulled it down

off every, boy, instantaneously. I think it lived for like eight hours. But, you know. Well,

that's because they thought that you was one of the people that was plotting on taking Nicki Minaj out, right? So you gotta think, you gotta think, it's Atlantic Records.

It's Cardi. Then you took the beat and called it Rap Charlemagne? Oh, my God. So this really had nothing to do with me. It was all you. It was all Charlemagne. It was all you because I called it Rap Charlemagne. So if I would have called it Rap Envy,

that shit would still be up to now. No, no. She would have sued you then. Oh, no. She don't like you neither? You should have rapped Dramos maybe. Rapped Dramos. You'd have been good. So why y'all two now?, no. She don't like you neither? You should rap dramas, maybe. Rap dramas, you'd have been good. So why y'all two not?

She thinks that we don't like her. She thinks that it's this industry plot against her. Like, right now, the Bobs are watching this right now mad just because. Y'all got to bring Nicki Minaj's name up. But we're talking about a particular situation, the hard white versus the Raph Charlemagne record. Yeah. They took it down, too, though, right?

They did. Took it down everywhere, though, right? They did. Took it down everywhere. No, it lives on SoundCloud. You know what I'm saying? So you can go to SoundCloud and hear it. And my IG lives there. Well, you better hurry up now because you're about to be taking it down

in about two hours. They coming to get that. The album is out right now. Thank you, Party. I'm having that. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey.

The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So you guys recall we did have Byron Allen up here on The Breakfast Club

talking about his discrimination case against Comcast, right? Yes, indeed. All right. Well, apparently Comcast has been using Diddy's name as an example of their inclusive practices with respect to African-American-owned cable networks. Well, Diddy has put out a statement about Comcast and Byron Allen's discrimination case,

and he says that it's important people really understand what's at stake. He said, I'm revolt. I can only share the truth of my experience. Starting an independent cable network is incredibly difficult and capital intensive. The start we received from Comcast, which was a condition of the United States government approval for Comcast to acquire NBCUniversal, was important but is not the level of support needed to build a successful African-American-owned network not even close. He said, since that launch, our relationship has not grown and Revolt is still not carried by Comcast in the most affordable packages, nor is Revolt

available in all of the markets that would enable us to serve our target audience. So, he said, it is unacceptable, and he said, Comcast spends billions of dollars on content networks every year, but just a few million go to African-American owned networks like Revolt. That's his statement. Okay.

So, he's siding with Byron Allen on this. Of course. All right, now, since we're talking about things like the African-American community, let's talk about Terrell Owens versus Stephen A. Smith. As you know, Stephen A. Smith did criticize Colin Kaepernick, and Terrell Owens had this to say about Stephen A. Smith. What he wanted was transparency

for people to see the full workout, to see the full Colin Kaepernick. Again, you mentioned obviously Max is going to get in here. And like I said, I'm in the streets. Max almost seems blacker than you, Stephen, eh? With what he's coming, you know, with his commentary. Tom, with all due respect, my brother. I'm just saying, though.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I'm just saying. I'm going to check you right now. You don't cross the line. I'm just saying. Tom, wait a minute. You don't cross the line. I'm just saying. Tell me, tell me, tell me. Wait a minute. You don't cross the line.

That's right. He said his ESPN white co-host, Max Kellerman, seems blacker than him. Well, Stephen A. Smith, of course, was not having that at all. And here's how he responded. Any of y'all that want to debate me in front of black people and talk about what's best for black people, name the time and place I'll show up. What's the definition of blackness? Why are you giving the impression

that because I don't march lockstep with every single thing that Colin Kaepernick wants? You just sat up there and used an expression. More blacker. Excuse me.

I'm from Hollis, Queens, New York City. More black. You ain't the only, you ain't the only brother out there that's in the streets. I'm in the streets

every day. Yo, I hated that whole exchange. I there that's in the streets. I'm in the streets every day. Yo, I hated that whole exchange. I hated that exchange, number one, because it happened in front of white people. Number two, we gotta stop saying stupid stuff like a white person is blacker than a black person. That's just an ignorant statement because Max's white skin, his aesthetic will always afford him a privilege that Stephen's

black skin won't. And just because Max Kellerman is saying what you want to hear doesn't mean he's blacker than Stephen A. Smith. Like, y'all sound crazy. And number three, why does blackness always got to come back to the streets? Like somebody being street. Black people are not monolithic. The streets are not the only thing we are associated with. Like, won't none of my kids come from the street?

And that won't make them any less black. Like, I don't understand why Stephen A. Smith had to resort to, I'm in the streets just like you. Stephen A. Smith, Art Torello ain't in the streets. Nah, not anymore. All right, now let's discuss some great things happening. Kerry Washington announced that she is directing an episode of Insecure. Now, the way that she did it, she announced it on Twitter, and then she put out a video

with her rapping. You are the next director of Insecure. Which episode? Oh, nine? I mean, that's what I knew. No glasses. Here we go. I'm about to direct Insecure on HBO. It's not a

scandal. I'm about to handle it because this cast is fire and the show is mine. You guys know Issa Rae raps in the mirror all the time on Insecure, so that's basically what she was doing. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of scandal Olivia Pope references in that episode of Insecure. Can't wait to see that.

And let's talk about Floyd Mayweather. I know I brought this up earlier. Now, we told you before that he said he is retired and he's done with boxing and he's not going back to the ring. He's satisfied, he's retired, undefeated, right? Well, now they're saying, well, now Floyd Mayweather is saying that he is coming out of retirement. So I don't know exactly what that means.

I don't know if that means that he's going to fight again or if that means he's going to be doing some promoting or I'm not exactly sure because he hasn't been very specific. But we do know that he is working with Dana White and there's going to be some type of event happening in 2020. He said they are working together to bring the world another spectacular event. Salute to Floyd Mayweather, man, but you got to know when to hold him, know when to fold him, man. Floyd Mayweather don't got nothing else to prove. Anything he would be doing right now, he would just be doing it for money.

It might be something else. I mean, who knows what it is? I mean, I don't think he should, but he might need the money. I doubt it, but I don't get it. Alright, now Evelyn Lozada, in the meantime, says that she will abstain from premarital sex and she wants to be able to speak to young girls. She said where she came from and be a role model. She told this to Baller Alert. She said

I felt like in previous relationships I lost a piece of me every time I had sex. Whether they're interested in me or not with what my journey is, if they're not with it, then I feel like it kind of clears out the BS. So that's what I want from my life. And she said, people will have an opinion on your life. Everyone will and say negative things. That's fine.

She said, I just feel like all I can do is really just do the best I can and stay focused on what I'm trying to accomplish and do with my life. She also got baptized, by the way. I respect that. I just don't know if you can like stop having premarital sex. Like once you've had premarital sex,

you've had it, right? A lot of people do it, though. They stop it, abstain until they get married. I just don't know if that's the right wording for it. Maybe you should just say

I'm abstaining from sex until marriage. Yeah, she's abstaining right now and she's not going to have sex again until she gets married. That's just a weird way to word it. I know people who have done that.

Somebody I grew up with, she got saved and she didn't have sex again, and she still hasn't because she's not married. Well, congratulations to her. And it's been like 15 years. Really? Yeah.

Oh, wow. Jesus. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's you, everyone. So, yeah, it's possible. No, I'm just calling on the name of Jesus because she definitely knows him better than I do. Goodness gracious. Lord have mercy. All right, well, thank you for that, Yee.

You're welcome. Revolt, we'll see you guys, oh, in a couple of weeks, right? Because next week we're off. So Revolt, we'll see you in a, you are coming back in after a week, right? One week. All right. Revolt, we'll see you in a week. Everybody else, the People's Choice mixes up next.

Get your request in. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now again, shout to all of you guys out there. You know, yesterday we did Change for Change. We were here

from 6 a.m. to midnight. Our third annual Change for Change Radiothon where we raise money for various organizations. That's right. You know, usually, not usually, always organizations that are black owned and ran. We did the Gathering for Justice Movement with Harry Belafonte

the first year. The second year we did Project 375. That's Brandon Marshall's organization to eradicate the stigma of mental health. And yesterday we did the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, which gives need-based scholarships to recipients for the 2021 academic year at HBCUs. That's right.

Raised over $670,000. And again, thank you guys. And you can still donate by the way. You can still donate. That's right. Raised over $670,000. And again, thank you guys. And you can still donate, by the way. You can still donate. That's correct. Yes, through Thanksgiving. You can text CHANGE to 52182 or you can go to bcchange4change.com,

bcchange4change.com and donate. Yes, in fact, the donations are being accepted until November 29th. Okay. Yes, man. Listen, I don't take that for granted, you know, to sit on this radio and be able to raise that kind of money and to be able to give that kind of money

to the people who actually need it, knowing that we're going to be helping these young kids get $5,000 scholarships, man. $670,000 as of right now. In 18 hours, we raised $670,000. That's a lot of scholarships. It is. I know next week the number will be even bigger, but just thank you, man.

Thank you to all of the business owners, all the celebrities, all of the entrepreneurs. But most importantly, our listeners who donated $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $1,000. You are so appreciated, and you sowed a seed this week that will reflect and grow in a generation in the future, man. So thank you very much. We did it. We did it. Absolutely. We did it. And shout out to Partisan Fontaine for joining us this morning. Also Hasan Minhaj. Yes.

And the holidays are coming up next week, so everybody stay healthy. Envy, I expect your hair to be even longer. Oh yeah. When you come back. And I'm actually you are my goals too, because I'm trying to get my hair healthier and get it to grow back. And so we'll see how I do.

Let's see whose hair grows faster. I'm taking these Hairfinity pills just to try to get, like you, these vitamins. Mine is all natural. Okay. These are vitamins. They're all natural, too. And yeah, so we'll see what happens. That's my New Year's resolution to let my hair grow because it's been so damaged.

And I want hair like Envy's. Okay. All right, when we come back, positive note, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, Charlamagne, you got a positive note? Before we get to the positive note, I would just like to say you need to listen to your Uncle Charla more often, kids. Remember a couple weeks ago? I think it was on November 15th, when Mason Rudolph and Miles Garrett got into it. Matter of fact, this was last Thursday. He threw his helmet. Yeah, when Miles Garrett hit Mason Rudolph with his helmet.

I said on this radio, all Miles Garrett got to do is say that Mason Rudolph called him the N-word. And what was Miles Garrett defense? What was Miles Garrett defense yesterday? Miles Garrett said in an appeals hearing that Mason Rudolph called him a racial slur. Y'all think I'm lying? Play the clip from November 15th when I said this. Yeah, I mean, listen, Miles Garrett was dead wrong.

You know what I mean? But he could have easily just said, look, man, he called me a nigga at the bottom of the pile. And, you know, I just reacted, you know. That's it. So he listens to the show. Listen to me. Stop treating me like the monkey and the Lion King Rafiki.

I know what I be talking about. Okay? Okay. Now, the moral of the story, the positive note, actually, since we did Chains for Change yesterday, is always remember we must give more in order to get more. It is the generous giving of ourselves that produces the generous harvest. Amen. Five gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory.
