Starting point is 00:02:30 The world's most dangerous morning show. DJ Envy. Captain of this bitch. Angela Yee. I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way. Charlamagne Tha God. The ruler of rubbing you the wrong way. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Made for everybody. Good morning, Angela Yee. She is on vacation. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Friday. What up, Toronto? Six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six, six. What's happening?
Starting point is 00:03:16 We here. We made it. That's right. It's a Friday. The end of the week. I didn't know how October was going to show out. Didn't know how October was going to show out. Didn't know how October was going to show up. But it has.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Because the President Donald Trump and his wife Melania Trump allegedly have caught an arona. That's right. Allegedly. Have coronavirus, yes. We'll talk about that more on the front page. But yeah, they have coronavirus. So, um...
Starting point is 00:03:42 I got a few thoughts. And one of those thoughts is the reason I'm saying allegedly. Keep in mind, I'm a conspiracy theorist raised on a dirt road in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. I don't believe much until I see it for myself firsthand. That's not true. Donald Trump would have to...
Starting point is 00:03:59 You didn't see Bigfoot, you believe in Bigfoot. You didn't see aliens and you believe in aliens. First of all, I have seen aliens. I've been visited by extraterrestrials a number of times. First of all, I've been visited by extraterrestrials a number of times. I've been abducted. I've woken up with cuts on both legs in the same places. I've witnessed flying saucers for myself.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Sasquatch is not hard to believe. It's just a primate in the woods, sir. Okay. Just like you got big primates in the jungle. It's just a primate in the woods sir Okay just like you got big primates in the jungle It's just a primate in the woods that's all I definitely believe a Sasquatch existed At some point Maybe not so much now but at some point Any other questions
Starting point is 00:04:36 No no no no no other questions Everything you just named is way more believable than Donald Trump Catching a Corona But we'll discuss. All right. Well, Reverend Al Sharpton will be joining us this morning. Reverend Al, the good Reverend Al.
Starting point is 00:04:51 He's got a new book out called Rise Up, A Country at a Crossroads. That's right. So we'll kick it with Reverend Al Sharpton. And let's get the show cracking. Front page news, like Charlemagne said, the president and his wife allegedly has coronavirus. We'll talk about it when we come back. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was new music. Megan Thee Stallion featuring Young Thug. It's called Don't Stop. New music. All right. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Now, in NBA, congratulations to Doc Rivers. You know he just left Los Angeles Clippers, but now it seems like he's agreeing to be the next head coach for the Philadelphia 76ers. That's a great job. I'm happy to see that. Mediocre white coaches get jobs in the NBA quite easily all the time. It's good to see Doc Rivers, an above mediocre coach, get a job. So congratulations to him.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Also tonight at 9 o'clock, the Lakers take on the Heat. That will be game two of the finals. Of course, the Lakers lead 1-0. That's at 9 p.m. Eastern time. Did I read somewhere that the NBA Finals game one was the lowest NBA Finals
Starting point is 00:05:58 in NBA history? Is that true? Or was that just somebody making something up to throw some smut on LeBron James' name? I read that somewhere. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Well, your president, Donald Trump, looks like he has coronavirus. It seems like him and his wife will be quarantining because they got coronavirus from an aide. I don't know if you remember this a couple of months ago. But he talked about coronavirus and how he thought it was, I guess, a hoax. Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. You know that, right? Coronavirus. And this is their new hoax.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Yeah, this is their new hoax, but now he got it. So what do you think, Charlamagne? I know you got an idea about this. What does Charlamagne think? What does Lenard think? I have a few thoughts. First of all, come through October. Drop on the clues bomb for October, okay? I knew the season finale of 2020 was going to be good.
Starting point is 00:06:53 I knew October was sitting back watching like, how can I make a splash in 2020? These other months been showing out. Let me see what I can do. So this is a good little move for October, right? Second, I'm not about to be happy that Trump and Melania got Corona. I will never celebrate something happening to a person that I don't want to happen to me in my third. The conspiracy theorist in me simply doesn't believe it.
Starting point is 00:07:16 All right. Donald Trump would have to pass away from COVID in order for me to believe he's got it. I just feel like this is his way of changing the headlines from his terrible debate showing gives him 14 days to not campaign. Nice excuse to not be in the press keeps the bad headlines down. And, you know, this is a good one. Trump and Melania catch the Rona. Trump allegedly Trump allegedly pay attention, takes a coronavirus vaccine on national TV. He's all of a sudden, well, gives the allusion to the American public that the vaccine is safe. He's one of the first to try it. Millions of people
Starting point is 00:07:50 line up to take the vaccine. That's what I think. I literally just woke up and that was the first thought that came to my head. All right. Well, Melania Trump, she says, as too many Americans have done this year, POTUS and I are quarantining at home after testing positive for COVID-19.
Starting point is 00:08:06 We are feeling good. I have postponed all upcoming engagements. Please be sure you are staying safe, and we will get through this together. And if they really do have it, they earned it because they weren't out there wearing masks. They weren't out there social distancing. You know, they out there throwing rallies. They shaking hands.
Starting point is 00:08:23 They kissing babies. They're doing everything that the experts tell us not to do. So if they do have it, they earned it. But Donald Trump is 74 years old and Melania is 50. That's all? What do you think he was? I thought he was late 70s.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Either way, I don't believe it. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't believe it. Like I said, Trump would have to pass away from COVID in order for me to believe it. I just really feel like this is his way of changing the headlines from that terrible debate showing R. It's his way of getting everybody to line up for the vaccine. Because, you know, now he can
Starting point is 00:08:54 allegedly take a coronavirus vaccine on national TV, make a big show about it. All of a sudden he's well. Gives the illusion to the American public that this vaccine is safe and he's one of the first to try it, so it's okay for you to get next thing you know millions of Americans are lining up to get that goddamn COVID-19 vaccine. Early. All right, well, Donald Trump also was on Hannity and condemned white supremacists.
Starting point is 00:09:15 I have to say, I've said it many times, and let me be clear again, I condemn the KKK. I condemn all white supremacists. I condemn the Proud Boys. I don't know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing, but I condemn that. But he should condemn also Antifa. Antifa is a horrible group of people. They kill people. It doesn't really matter now.
Starting point is 00:09:37 You know what I mean? You got to do it when it counts. You know what I'm saying? It's like if you ever got caught cheating and your woman confronts you and she already knows, but you lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. And then when you finally find out everybody knows you're cheating, you're like, look, I got a confession to make. I got caught.
Starting point is 00:09:51 It was me. Too late. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night, horrible night, or maybe you feel blessed and you want to spread some positivity.

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
Starting point is 00:10:39 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.

I believe that he's trying to, A, get out of that other debate that he had.

I just wanted to agree with Charlamagne about Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:20:00 That's all. Oh, you don't think he got coronavirus. You think he's using this as a ploy to get the American people to feel bad for him? Absolutely do. Don't feel bad. Yeah, I think it's all a conspiracy theory. I think that he's using this to take away headlines from all the bad press he got. Give them 14 days to not campaign.
Starting point is 00:20:18 You know, nice excuse to not be in the press. And I honestly think that he's going to take a coronavirus vaccine on national TV all of a sudden to be well and give the illusion to the American people that this vaccine that they've rushed out is safe. I agree. I absolutely agree. Okay. Well, thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:20:36 Ariana. Hey, Ariana. Hey, Ariana. Hey, y'all. Hey, y'all, what's happening? Today is my 23rd birthday. Happy birthday. Michael Jordan year.
Starting point is 00:20:48 That's right. You know who I'm joining? Yes. Okay, just making sure. You're 23. You can't tell nowadays. All right. Yes, 23.
Starting point is 00:20:56 What you got planned? I would like, oh, well, I'm going to go to the beach. I'm going to go out to eat at this seafood place tonight. Okay. All that. I go to the beach. I'm going to go out to eat at this seafood place tonight. Okay. All that. I got to take pictures. Follow me on Instagram at Ariana Dahlia on music because I'm an up and coming artist. I'm a rocker.
Starting point is 00:21:14 You know, rocker. Okay. Let me hear something for your 23rd. Let me see if I can get you on the right path for your new year. Okay. Hit me up. You know that I don't freaking miss you. D-Hydra, you're sorry.
Starting point is 00:21:27 I can't fix that issue. And got no time for all that DM, M-I-D-M. They can either answer questions. No, girl, I don't ever see him. And check your n***a. Not at me with this s***. Because I don't f*** with fake-ass ballers. Got like two or three gifs.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Your landlord already called you. Got on waiting for rent. But yet you come in there. Me over, Brian, give you a cent. It's crazy. It don't faze me. No, these chicks is dumb. You had his baby. He got lazy. Now you stuck with a bum. Alright, alright, alright.
Starting point is 00:21:49 What do you think, Sharla? You know, I think that you should have some other plans lined up for your life. Just happy birthday. Just happy birthday. Be positive. It's a birthday. Is there anything else you want to do in life other than rap? Oh, boy. I'm going to be a rapper, point link, so. That's it? Nothing else? Just putting all your eggs in that one wrap basket, huh?
Starting point is 00:22:06 Well, you have a great birthday, man. You just enjoy that birthday. Don't worry about anything else tonight. I'm going to be on the Ariana Danielle music for more. Just think that I just want you to know this is your Jordan year. I want you to think about the first time Jordan won a championship, and he went up in the air, and he had the ball in his right hand, but then at the last minute, he switched it to his left hand, and that's when he made the shot. If he'd he had the ball in his right hand, but then at the last minute he switched it to his left hand
Starting point is 00:22:25 and that's when he made the shot. If he'd have kept the ball in his right hand, he might not have made that shot and won that championship. So just think about that in your life, in your rap career, okay? You might just want to switch hands midair. That's all. That's it. Why?
Starting point is 00:22:38 Okay, well, thank you for your response anyway. And you keep working on it. And you enjoy Long John Silver tonight, okay? She didn't say Long John Silver, you ass. She said she's going to get some seafood. Yeah, she did.
Starting point is 00:22:48 No, she didn't say Long John Silver. She's going to a nice, fancy restaurant. Don't let her hit you like that. She didn't say no damn Long John Silver.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Try Long John Silver. She said Red Lobster. Stop it. Get it off your chest. Try Red Lobster. Nothing. I like the buskets. They good.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. Now, we got rumors on the way. We'll tell you about Dr. Dre. He did all right in court yesterday. We'll tell you all about it. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:23:13 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Who my husband? On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Now, Dr. Dre just won a battle in court. The judge in their divorce case just rejected his wife's Nicole request for $1.5 million
Starting point is 00:23:33 to pay for various expenses, including security and other costs. And the judge also rejected her request to accelerate her claim that Dre should pay $5 million for her lawyer fees and costs. Look at God. Look at God. I mean, there's no way, I don't care how rich you are, what your lifestyle is, was, there's just no way to justify $1.5 million a month and whatever it is, especially when you look at the breakdown. Is that the one that we saw that had the breakdown for like the $100,000 in charity and $900,000 in entertainment.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Come on, man. It's a million dollars right there. Yeah, so she's also, Nicole, which is Dr. Dre's wife, of course, she said that she needs money for security because she's been receiving death threats. They said the money would also go up for expenses. They said people are commenting under her post
Starting point is 00:24:21 and under post saying if she dies, she dies. And for a small fee, she can disappear. So she is very concerned and she wants extra security. Well, the block button is free. You know what I'm saying? I think I don't take any threat lightly, but that's just social media.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Seriously, we have to start, you know, like I said, take every threat seriously, but that is just social media. That's what they do on social media. I've been getting death threats for a decade now, literally. seriously, but that is just social media. That's what they do on social media. I've been getting death threats for a decade now.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Literally. Yeah, I guess you're right. Also, Amazon, if you're working for Amazon, you might have to be extra, extra safe. Now, Amazon is dropping some alarming stats. They're saying that nearly 20,000 people they believe caught COVID-19
Starting point is 00:25:03 working at Amazon. They said March 1st to September 19th, 19,816 employees were either presumed or confirmed to have contracted the coronavirus. That's out of the roughly 1.37 million people that work at Amazon and Whole Foods. Is this a rumor or is this a true story? True story. Because I think sometimes I can't tell because this is a rumor report. So it's supposed to be rumors. Right, it's supposed to be rumors, but this is coming straight from TMZ,
Starting point is 00:25:31 and TMZ is saying that Amazon workers have more than 19,000 cases of coronavirus. Okay. That's why you got to wash your hands when you get your Amazon packages. That's exactly what I thought about when I heard this thing. I was like, well, you definitely got to wash your hands. And lastly, shout out to Consequence, right? Did you know Consequence was dealing with lupus?
Starting point is 00:25:52 I didn't know until he posted it on Instagram the other day. Yeah, he got diabetes. So Consequence, if you don't know Consequence, of course, he's an artist, used to be on Love & Hip Hop. He's a writer for Kanye West. He posted a picture of himself, his son, and his, I don't know if that's his wife or his girlfriend, at his son's birthday party. He was 113 pounds and people were body shaming him.
Starting point is 00:26:11 So he left this message. He said, I was body shamed when I posted this picture on the 17th of August. I was 113 pounds and some ass peeps said I looked like an old junkie. He says lupus and diabetes have been kicking my ass for seven months straight. But oddly enough, I was getting better as of two weeks before I was 105 pounds and my sugar was in the 500s from being on steroids. I was being determined to wish my son a happy birthday. So I made it out however I looked. And he talks about it. He said he thought lupus was a predominantly affected by black women, but he said the disease knocked him on his ass, and now he's letting men know
Starting point is 00:26:48 that they should be aware, too. He said this is the same disease that killed Phife Dawg, and he said somebody else, too. I can't find it, but he said it's very, very serious, and he says he has to take care of his body. Yeah, Consequence, my man. I remember that picture.
Starting point is 00:27:04 I honestly just thought he was newly vegan, you know. But I send nothing but positive energy, love, and light to Consequence because that's my man. He's a good brother, and I wish him a speedy recovery. I want him to be here, you know, to watch his son grow and evolve. His son gets busy, too. Yeah, his son raps. His son gets busy.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Yeah, Con sends me all the time. But he posted something new about a couple of days ago and he gained a lot more weight. He's looking way more healthier. So I guess he's battling it the right way and he's doing way, way better. So shout out to Consequence. I think he got a project dropping too. It's called
Starting point is 00:27:39 Things Are Different Now. I think. Unless he's just using that as a hashtag to talk about how this is the second act of his life. But I think, I'm pretty sure he got a project, Rob. Okay. Alright, well that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, we got front page news.
Starting point is 00:27:56 We'll tell you about Donald Trump. He has the coronavirus. Also, two more black individuals beaten by the police. We'll tell you all about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never by the police. We'll tell you all about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. The Travis Scott meal just dropped at McDonald's,
Starting point is 00:28:11 featuring the juicy quarter pounder burger with lettuce, pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, and bacon, all with medium fries and a drink for just six bucks. Don't forget the barbecue sauce. Price and participations may vary. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's been from Front Page
Starting point is 00:28:29 News. Now, congratulations to Doc Rivers. Now, Doc Rivers agreed to a five-year deal with the 76ers after leaving the Clippers just a day ago. So, congratulations to him. He got a new job right away. That's good because all those mediocre white coaches always get jobs right away.
Starting point is 00:28:47 And they go from team to team like Mike D'Antoni. So I'm glad Doc Rivers got another gig that fast. All right. And also in the NBA, of course, game two is tonight. The Lakers versus the Heat. Lakers lead that series 1-0. Game two is tonight at 9 p.m. And game three.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Street saying we're sitting courtside game three, right? That's right. Game three, we are sitting courtside. It's the virtual seat. So we'll be at Sunday's game courtside, which is going to be pretty much. How does that work? Shout to Miami, 103.5 to beat in Miami. What do you mean, how does that work?
Starting point is 00:29:17 You don't know? I can't sit through no whole game on no Zoom now. Well, you have it up on your Zoom, and then you have it up on your TV. So, you know, you can watch on both. That's what I'm going to do. Okay. But I don't want to sit next to you. I wonder if they're going to put me next to you because I don't want to sit next to you. I'm sure they will.
Starting point is 00:29:34 I'm going to do like this. See, what's wrong? I'm going to do this to your ear. On TV, I can't wait. Kiss cam! What's wrong with you? Virtual kiss cam. Now, Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, looks like allegedly they have COVID-19, coronavirus.
Starting point is 00:29:54 You said you don't believe it? Why not? I don't believe it. I don't know. Donald Trump would have to die from complications of COVID in order for me to believe he had it. God forbid he passes from COVID, though, because I don't wish death on anyone. And I'm not about to be happy that Trump and Melania got corona. I would never celebrate something happening to a person that I don't want to happen to me and mine.
Starting point is 00:30:13 But I don't believe he has it. Well, she said there's too many Americans that have done this year. POTUS and I are quarantining at home after testing positive for COVID-19. We are feeling good. I have postponed all upcoming engagements. Please be sure you're staying safe and we will all get through this together. I just feel like this is his way
Starting point is 00:30:31 of changing the headlines from his terrible debate showing gives him 14 days to not campaign. Nice excuse to not be in the press. They probably won't do the next debate. Keeps the bad headlines down. And, you know, I think that they're going to allegedly take a coronavirus vaccine,
Starting point is 00:30:48 one of them value menu vaccines that they rushing out. They're going to take one of them vaccines on national TV and all of a sudden get better. And it'll give the illusion to the American public that the vaccine is safe. He'll look like a hero because he's one of the first to try it. Millions of lineups to take the vaccine. And boom, microchips for all of y'all. Right in time for goddamn Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:31:07 My goodness. Well, this is what he said when he talked about it before. He said coronavirus was a hoax. Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. You know that, man. Coronavirus. And this is their new hoax. Yeah, so I guess it's not a hoax if you got it.
Starting point is 00:31:27 Now, he also condemned white supremacy on Hannity as well. Listen to this. I have to say, I've said it many times, and let me be clear again, I condemn the KKK. I condemn all white supremacists. I condemn the Proud Boys. I don't know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing, but I condemn that. But he. I don't know much about the Proud Boys, almost nothing, but I condemn that.
Starting point is 00:31:46 But he should condemn also Antifa. Antifa is a horrible group of people. They kill people. See, now his base can't even be mad at him for condemning white supremacy because he can say he's sick. He can say he's sick, he's running a fever, wasn't feeling well, wasn't saying anything. He didn't really mean to condemn it. He didn't know what he was saying. It's all a great plot
Starting point is 00:32:06 plan and ploy and a hoax. I don't believe it. And also, we have to talk about Ronald Green. Now, Ronald Green is a black person. He's a black man from Louisiana. They said he died from injuries from a car crash.
Starting point is 00:32:21 That was the reports. Well, it seems like new audio shows that he didn't die from a car crash. That was the reports. Well, it seems like new audio shows that he didn't die from a car crash and that cops beat him to death. You mean police lied about something? Really? Police? Oh. You got the audio?
Starting point is 00:32:36 You don't have to play it. Oh, my God. I'm not looking. All right, well, let me read it to you because I know it's kind of hard to understand. Now, that was Officer Hollingsworth. Why are you doing this? Why are we traumatizing people this morning? Because people need to know that police lie and that people lie. We need to know the truth.
Starting point is 00:33:05 We know that. We are clear. White people may not know. Ever-living F out of him. Choked him and everything else. Trying to get him under control. We finally got him in handcuffs. When a third man got there and the son of a itch was still fighting,
Starting point is 00:33:19 they were still wrestling with him, trying to hold him down. He was spitting blood everywhere. Then all of a sudden sudden he just went limp. But they said he died from his, you know, injuries from his car crash. Now where's this war on cops y'all keep talking about? Because every day that we come on
Starting point is 00:33:36 this radio for years now, all we're telling you is stories about how cops are abusing their power against civilians and cops are doing things like how they did to Ronald Green. I saw the other young lady that they had handcuffed upside down in the backseat of the car yesterday and she started
Starting point is 00:33:50 screaming about not wanting to be black and calling the officer master and all kinds of stuff. What was her name? Are you talking about Shanti Kelly? The young lady that was hog tied, you mean? Shanti Kelly, yes. So where's this war on cops y'all keep talking about? Because I don't see it. I see a war on civilians from cops,
Starting point is 00:34:07 but I don't see no war on cops happening. Yeah. It's very few and far between when we come in here and report a story about a police officer, you know, being just randomly attacked by a civilian. The last one was the two officers in L.A. Yes. So it's just like, I don't know this war on cops y'all speak of,
Starting point is 00:34:22 but I definitely see the cops abusing their power against black people in this country every goddamn day. Now, the officer who spoke out is now dead from a single car accident. People believe it was most likely a suicide after this came out. Oh, so he couldn't live with himself. Right, that's what they believe. So we'll say allegedly. And that is your front page news.
Starting point is 00:34:45 All right. On a Friday, bro. And that is your front page news. Alright. On a Friday, bro. Yeah, I know. I know. On a Friday. I know. I know. Alright. Well, when we come back, Reverend Al Sharpton will be joining us. We're going to kick it with Reverend Al. Reverend Al has a new book out called Rise Up, A Country at
Starting point is 00:34:59 a Crossroads. And we're going to talk to him when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line. Yes, indeed.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Reverend Al Sharpton, welcome. Good morning, Reverend Al. Good morning, good morning. Good to be with y'all. You know, the Rev just put out a new book called Rise Up, Confronting a Country at a Crossroads. After watching that presidential debate last night, or as I like to call it, the presidential versus battle, it was a stand-up comedy special, we are definitely at a crossroads. What do those crossroads look like to you, Reverend? Well, I mean, if you look at the fact that for the last
Starting point is 00:35:45 half century, we were fighting, struggling, trying to deal with issues like criminal justice, like voting rights, like reparations, and in other silos of society, gender equality, LGBTQ rights, everybody fighting in whatever it is that they had to deal with and making some incremental steps toward a more sound way of dealing with things. And then all of a sudden you get the backlash. After eight years of a black president, Donald Trump rises up with the birther movement, becomes president of the United States and tries to undo all of that. Tries to stop affordable care. He tries to stop voter participation by ending all the lawsuits the Justice Department had about voter suppression methods like Vote ID. He tried to stop affirmative action. He's stacking the courts. So America's at a crossroad and we've got to decide
Starting point is 00:36:45 whether we're going to rise up and fight back and continue the path that could lead us into empowerment or whether we're going to roll over and let them just go down this other path. This is a time in the age of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, all of these cases we're fighting. It couldn't be more in your face than right now, whether you're going to rise up or whether you're just going to roll over. What did you think of the debate the other night? What were your thoughts on both Joe Biden and Donald Trump? Did you think it was anything to benefit the people? I think that it was a debacle, not a debate. Clearly, Donald Trump came in unprepared to
Starting point is 00:37:22 really talk about anything. I think Biden wins by default, but I think he could have been stronger on the crime bill. I marched him in 94 to crime bill. He has now said that it was unintended consequences and that he had overshot the runway. I think he's a better choice than Trump, but that does not mean he shouldn't be held accountable. And I think he could have answered that stronger
Starting point is 00:37:45 by saying, yes, I was wrong in 94 to go as far as I did, but you support the crime bill now, Mr. Trump. You support stopping frisk now. I agree with you on the Joe Biden stuff, but it's interesting, though. Joe Biden has had years to
Starting point is 00:38:01 apologize for that 94 crime bill. He would have just apologized for that 94 crime bill years ago, there wouldn't be a vulnerable spot for Trump to use against him now. Exactly right. The thing I think people don't know, and I write a lot about it in this book, is that people have to know where we are is based on where we've been. The struggle in the Democratic Party always, those of us that was trying to pull them to what they call the left, particularly on black issues, were always blocked by those that were more centrist, including black elected officials.
Starting point is 00:38:34 When I ran for president, a lot of them didn't support me. When Reverend Jackson ran, they didn't support. In fact, they created a lot of these guys in the center to try and neutralize us. You said in Rise Up that the Democratic Party has failed the black community. So how do you convince brothers and sisters that this election, this will be the moment that Democrats finally show up for us? I think that the way that you've got to convince them is you've got to say that I'm not selling you a bill of goods, that this is some panacea, but that we're going to have to hold them accountable and we're going to put people in there with them that we're going to hold accountable. So yeah, Joe Biden knows that we'll go after him and Kamala Harris knows that we're expecting her to also deal in a way that is accountable. So I saw the planning points.
Starting point is 00:39:25 I lift every voice. Okay, but where are we going with other issues and hold you to that? I was still talking to Reverend Al Sharpton. Now, how do we get black people excited to vote? We've seen what happened last year with so many people didn't come out. But then we also see what happened when Barack was running and we all came out. How do we get people excited to come out and vote this year? Well, when you look at the fact that we are about to see somebody put on the Supreme Court that is written in judicial and some of their legal writings, they want to end the Affordable Care Act.
Starting point is 00:40:00 If you look, 30 million people lose preexisting conditions. That's something to get excited about because we're talking about our loved ones. When we look at the fact that they are not going to deal with any of the police cases, they have said they're on the side of law and order. Trump said it the other night. They're on the side of law enforcement. So how do we stand up as we all have for George Floyd, for Breonna Taylor, for Ahmaud Arbery, and not excited about making sure we get a Justice Department that will be coming in?
Starting point is 00:40:32 I think that we are looking for excitement from the wrong places. It's not about the politicians. It's about the policy. And if we deal with policy, then I think that we have our self-interest at hand. Why is Joe Biden such a terrible candidate? Like, he's just not good at this. Why? I think he's a regular Joe, no pun intended.
Starting point is 00:40:55 And I think that he's a guy that his political acumen is not based on mass charisma. It's based on he is a guy that knows how to get in the room and make things happen. We just need to make sure that he's going to make them happen for us. True indeed. What do you say to people who say we shouldn't critique Joe Biden right now? Like, we have to support him because it feels like they're telling us to just shut up and vote, like they tell athletes to shut up and dribble. No, I think that we've got to critique him. I think we've got to critique him and vote. I think that many of us would probably vote more if we would let the critique go down and say, OK, you hear me, I'm going to do this, but I want you to know what my apprehension is. I don't think
Starting point is 00:41:36 we should tell people don't critique him because I critique President Obama. And as you know, I had access to Obama. Me and Obama worked together. But I would question him. We'd get in the room and debate things out. I don't want anybody telling me to help them, and I can't critique them. We are not looking for people to be our rulers. We're looking for people to be our way to address our situation. And I'm not even saying you're going to do everything I like. I might want ten things and get seven, but I got to know I can get those seven. Alright, we got more with Reverend Al when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with Reverend Al. Charlamagne? You named the book Rise Up. What's the best way for folks to rise up during these times? Is it always through peaceful protest? Do you think people that are You named the book Rise Up. What's the best way for folks to rise up during these times?
Starting point is 00:42:27 Is it always through peaceful protest? Do you think people that are about some more type of action that's a little more aggressive, is that the best way to rise up? What's the best way? I talk about it in the book. I mean, first of all, rise up. Everybody needs to rise up wherever they can. It could be in your house, making sure everybody's registered to vote.
Starting point is 00:42:50 It could be you going to town hall meetings. I give a whole chapter on these are various ways you can rise up. I come out of the nonviolent peaceful movement. Others come out of self-defense. I don't think our problem is each other. Our problem is who we're fighting. And I talk about that in the book, that these purists that act like if you don't do it my way, then you're wrong. As long as you're doing something that will lead to the empowerment and uplifting of our people, then you do you, I do me. There are different lanes on the highway. We don't all ride the same lane as long as we go into the same place. You know, you were alive doing the civil rights there, Reverend Shau, Reverend Al, even though you were a young man.
Starting point is 00:43:27 Do you feel that same kind of shift now? Did it feel like the kind of crossroads we're at now back then? There's nothing new. There was the same thing where the younger folk were questioning the old God. Don't forget the freedom riders that broke up segregation in the South, riding the bus that got John Lewis in there. Martin Luther King was not in charge of freedom riders. He never got on a bus.
Starting point is 00:43:50 Martin Luther King was with a structured organization, Southern Christian Leadership Conference. There was NACP. There were organic movements in Mississippi, the 64 Freedom Summer. So all these people that are talking now like this is new. Oh, you got young folks doing this. You got whites doing this.
Starting point is 00:44:07 You got the civil rights organizations doing that. Are people that don't know the history. They're too lazy to do the research. I've seen all this before. You got to remember, Charlemagne, the God. We had Malcolm and Martin at the same time who had different tactics. At the same time, we had Martin Luther King in the South, we had Malcolm up North, we had
Starting point is 00:44:28 Adam Clay Powell in Congress, we had Fannie Lou Hame in Mississippi, we had Thurgood Marshall in the courts, all at the same time. How do we get to the 21st century with social media and we can only have one Negro talk at a time? We've never been in that situation.
Starting point is 00:44:44 So why are we letting people do that now? So if people want to do this, fine. If I want to bring 150,000 people to Washington nonviolently to stand up on legislation, fine. If somebody else want to do something else, fine. Why do we have to get in each other's way when all of us are in the same situation? That's real. What do you say to these folks, man, who say things like, hey, don't let your president get your ass kicked.
Starting point is 00:45:07 We are not our ancestors. How does that make you feel when they say we are not our ancestors? Well, we're here because of our ancestors. Why, again, do you have to bite on your elders or your ancestors to make your point? No other race
Starting point is 00:45:24 does that. Every race extols their ancestors and talk about their tradition, their holidays, and everything they do is erected around they're the continuation of something. We have been taught not to continue something, to condemn our elders. And you know where that comes from?
Starting point is 00:45:42 Slavery. The first thing they did to make sure they can enslave you is break the family up. So you don't know your daddy, you don't know your mama, they were sold to different states, because if they can break up that connection, they can then name you after them, impose their values on them. We have got to get out of the slave mentality of fighting the generations ahead of us, but learning from them, improving on what they did, having our family debates and move on. We cannot have this where we don't put the family back together. That's what led to slavery. Right. I think they discredited John Lewis and MLK Jr., other peaceful people because they were nonviolent.
Starting point is 00:46:25 But they acted like it wasn't other folks out there who would bust your ass back then. That was a debate then. That's why I said we had Malcolm and Dr. King at the same time. And they found a way to communicate and get together. We had the Panthers and John Lewis and Jesse Jackson at the same time. Stokely Carmichael. Yeah, Huey Newton, Stokely Carmichael, Rap Brown, Jesse Jackson, John Lewis were all around the same time. Stokely Carmichael? Yeah, Huey Newton, Stokely Carmichael, Rap Brown, Jesse Jackson,
Starting point is 00:46:48 John Lewis were all around the same age, about a year of each other. It was never no one way, but they found a way not to be taking shots at each other. They would say, you do your thing, I do mine. I remember with Stokely Carmichael, Aquame Toure was that change name. He came to my headquarters when I got older.
Starting point is 00:47:05 He said, I remember you as a kid under Jesse. And we talked about things. They had what they called operational unity. Now we have people that just,
Starting point is 00:47:14 we spend more time, even our rappers, taking shots at each other rather than taking shots at the interview. Maybe you're scared. I mean, let me ask y'all a question y'all are the experts there
Starting point is 00:47:27 how do you have young activists that's more angry at each other and nobody's questioning kanye what are you really doing what is this young uh black sister that they got out there with the right wing why are y'all fighting among each other you got enough people that you should be questioning. I get it. What is a latte liberal, Reverend? Latte liberal is these liberals that live in privileged spots, sit back, sip in lattes, and dictate this is what we want. This is what is progressive. This is who should speak for us. They never engage. They don't get their hands dirty. They're not in the trenches. They don't know anything about what we really strive for. They speak for us and never speak to us.
Starting point is 00:48:13 And we look at them as the great leaders of the progressive movement. They're progressive on everything but race. Let me ask you a question, Rev. Now, Donald Trump, you think if he loses, you think he will just walk out of that White House? Or you think we're going to have a problem? I think that Donald Trump's going to try every trick in the book to stay there. And I think that if Biden and them do anything,
Starting point is 00:48:36 they ought to be prepared on how they're going to remove him. Donald Trump is facing possible prosecution. He knows that. And he is not going to try everything in the courts. He's going to try everything in terms of those polls. And I would not be surprised if he didn't physically try to stay in that White House. But he's got to go. And I think that the preparation for that is something that they ought to prepare.
Starting point is 00:49:02 What happens if Trump is reelected? If he's reelected, then we are going to face some very serious time. I think that that is why I've said, as we put out National Action Network's brigade, is that you've got to get everybody to vote one, to deal with the presidency,
Starting point is 00:49:17 but also the Senate. Suppose if they lose the White House to Trump but elect the Democrats to the Senate, because there's about 5 to 15 seats that can flip. He can't do anything if there's a Democratic Senate and a Democratic Congress. So people have got to vote all the way down
Starting point is 00:49:34 the ticket. That's why they need to rise up and deal with this stuff. Alright, we got more with Reverend Al when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. EJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Reverend Al. Charlamagne? Do you believe black women are the true catalyst
Starting point is 00:49:49 for change? I think black women are a true catalyst for change. I think black women, I think black youth, and I think strong black men. I write in a book about how when Shirley Chisholm ran for president when I was 18, I was one of her youth directors,
Starting point is 00:50:05 and how black men would not support her. I'm talking about black leading men would not support her. We need to get out of this sexism and misogyny in our community. And I saw it firsthand from when I was a kid, would be in a room with older black preachers and black politicians that wouldn't support her just because she's a woman. Any man that's intimidated by a woman because she's a woman. Any man that's intimidated by a woman because she's a woman is not a real man.
Starting point is 00:50:30 If a woman got to step down for you to step up, you don't have a step up in you. Yeah, that's so strange to me that we're afraid to let women lead, but yet we lean on our grandmothers and our mothers our whole lives. Like, they're the CEOs and foundations of our lives. So why wouldn't we let a sister lead?
Starting point is 00:50:47 And they led us all our lives. I was raised by a single mother and dealt with people like Ms. Chisholm. I write about that in Rise Up. I write about Coretta Scott King helped to nurture me and my activism, Dr. King's wife. So if we are nurtured by them, sheltered by them,
Starting point is 00:51:08 that's why I could relate so to George Floyd when I did the eulogy at his funeral. He called for his mother. And the thing that shocked me is that I went out and led a vigil in Minneapolis at the rest of the family. Then they asked me to come back and do the funeral. So when I got back and do the funeral, I said to Philonise,
Starting point is 00:51:24 who is the brother of George Floyd, and Ben Crump, the lawyer who I call Attorney General of Black Americans, he's really good. I said, I'd like to meet George's mother before I do the funeral. They said, his mother died. I said, his mother died? They said, yeah. I said, but he was calling for his mother when he was on the ground dying. And it hit me, that's how we were. If nothing else was there for us, you called for mama.
Starting point is 00:51:51 And as he knew that he was at the point of death, he called for his mother who wasn't even there. We ended up burying him next to his mother in Houston. And I did the Camilla of the body. So how do we always know that about mama? But then we don't want our mama to lead us. That's ridiculous. That's ridiculous. How can a black person in good conscience
Starting point is 00:52:11 be a member of the Democratic or Republican Party, Reverend? I think that if you join a party to use the party, then I want to see what you produce. Most of them join to be used by the party. And that's why I think that we part company. I ride in a car to get where I'm going. I don't ride in a car and ask the car, tell me where you want to go. And you mentioned Kanye West earlier.
Starting point is 00:52:38 Do you think Kanye West is a huge distraction for what people are really trying to do? I love Kanye. I think Kanye's music is great. But I don't understand how Kanye embraces Donald Trump, goes and puts a mega hat on in the Oval Office. His politics over there. And that is not questioned. I've sat up with Charlamagne Tha God and you
Starting point is 00:52:59 and talked about people that take shots at some of us, but none of them, I'm talking about hip-hoppers now, has said anything to their fellow artists. What are you doing here? I'm not saying condemn them or not, but nobody's even raised the question. You take shots at your fathers and mothers, but you won't
Starting point is 00:53:17 say to your fellow artists, what's up with this? Yeah, at least not publicly. You gotta condemn certain behavior publicly, and I don't think that's causing a beef between you and another person. It's just checks and balances, right? You've got to keep people honest. But not only is it checks and balances,
Starting point is 00:53:33 you don't mind checking and balancing people like me or other leaders, so you can call us out even on songs. But you can't. What him is causing a beef, that is a slave break up the family mentality. I can take a swing at my father, but I can't take a swing at my brother, who's over there with Trump. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:53 So basically what you're saying is you need Jay-Z to give Kanye some balls. I didn't say that, now. I'm saying all of them. I'm saying all of them. All I'm trying to do is let's be consistent here. That's all. I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:54:06 I'm with you. Now, a question. Do you think this is the most important election in American history, this one right here? I think it's one of the most important. It's certainly the most important in our lifetime. When you see a Supreme Court stat to take the little we got, I think it's the most important in our lifetime.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Before we go, I just want to know, to put it bluntly, why are Democrats so p***y? When Joe Biden got asked the other day about stacking the Supreme Court, why couldn't he just answer the question? If I knew the answers why people did things, I'd be wiser than I am. All I'm saying is I've got
Starting point is 00:54:40 to use the car that's going to get me where I've got to go, even if I think the car might have some tires that's going to get me where I've got to go, even if I think the car might have some tires that's going to give out before I get there. I just don't like the fact they're so soft. They just allow themselves to be pushed over and it seems like they don't stand
Starting point is 00:54:56 for nothing. That's all I'm saying. You can't get no argument. I'm the guy that's always been fighting and I'm going to keep fighting, but I also know that sometimes I've got to use what I've got to get what I want. Jay Brown told me that. There you go. I apologize for using that word to you, Rev.
Starting point is 00:55:12 That didn't feel good when it came out. I couldn't think of no other word. It's soft. I've heard it before. Reverend Al, rise up. Confronting the Country at the Crossroads is available everywhere you go. Get books right now, man. Reverend, it's always a pleasure talking to you, my brother.
Starting point is 00:55:32 Always a pleasure to be with you guys. Y'all stay strong. Peace, King. Breakfast Club, good morning. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report.
Starting point is 00:55:43 This is the Rumor Report. Talk to Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now we got to congratulate Nicki Minaj. She is a first-time mom. She and husband Kenneth Petty have welcomed their new child to the world. Drop on the clothes bombs for Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty. You know, in this day and age where the black maternal death rate is through the roof, it is always a beautiful thing to hear about a black woman successfully having a baby with no complications and still being here.
Starting point is 00:56:12 That's right. Now, Nikki gave birth Wednesday in L.A. We don't know the baby's name or sex, but we just want to say congratulations. On a healthy delivery. That's right. That's it. Now, do you want some new Riri music? Are you ready for some Riri music? Who's Riri? On a healthy delivery. That's right. That's it. Absolutely need you a notch. Now, do you want some new Riri music?
Starting point is 00:56:27 Are you ready for some Riri music? Who's Riri? Rihanna, man. Rihanna. Like Finney Beauty Riri? Yes. The artist. I don't care if Rihanna makes music or not.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Rihanna's doing great out here in life. Well, she's finally giving us some information about her album, her ninth studio album, R9. She said, I just want to have fun with music. Everything is so heavy. The world we live in is a lot. It's overwhelming every single day. Now, she was talking to the Associated Press. She said, and with music, I'm using that as my outlet. I just want to have fun with that. She's also said she's veering away from genre-focused records for her new music era. She says, now it's more. What I do, I feel personally.
Starting point is 00:57:06 What do I want to put out as an artist? How do I want to play with my art? How do I want to interpret that? How do I want to reimagine it? So they believe some new music is coming soon. Hey, ain't none of these no rumors, bro. These are just stories. That's what they are.
Starting point is 00:57:21 Look, Angelique is out, and I'm just giving what they give me. They give me these stories, I'm just telling you. Let's make the rumor report great again and actually report some rumors. Make up stuff like everybody else does. No, we're not doing that. Now, Takashi. Actually, I was on Fenty Beauty the other day. I was on the Fenty Face Shade Finder.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Let me find those. Trying to find my foundation shade number. Okay. Plus Fenty Face Essentials handpicked for my skin tone. They have a whole quiz. They have a whole quiz on FentyBeauty.com called the Fenty Face Shade Finder. Yes. All right.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Well, let me find out. I mean, the shade looks good on you this morning. I can tell you did a little on your nose this morning. It looks pretty good on you. No, no, no. No foundation this morning. It's all me, baby. Dr. Natasha Sandy, my dermatologist.
Starting point is 00:58:03 No foundation this morning. Don't do me like baby. Dr. Natasha Sandy, my dermatologist. No foundation this morning. Don't do me like that. Now, lastly, Takashi69 reportedly hospitalized in Florida following caffeine and hydro, hydro, what is it? Hydroxycut? Is that what it's called? Hydroxycut? Hydroxycut, yeah. That's the
Starting point is 00:58:18 weight loss pills, fat burners. Exactly. Well, he was looking to get in shape. He says when he got out of jail, he weighed over 200 pounds. So he was looking to get in shape. He says when he got out of jail, he weighed over 200 pounds. So he was, I guess, taking these hydroxy cut pills and some type of caffeine, some powerful diet pills. And it effed him up. And he was in the hospital for two days. Just leave the country and go get your body done like all the other chicks.
Starting point is 00:58:39 What's wrong with you, 6'9"? You ain't on probation no more. I guess you can't travel, right? Well, I don't think he could travel out of the U.S. I mean, but if he wanted to, he could get a liposuction in the States, right? How many rat poisons and jokes did we see online yesterday? I'm sure it was a million of them. I'm joking.
Starting point is 00:58:55 It's only imagined. Go get your body. I mean, you're 20-something years old and you're 200 pounds. You can lose that by just eating right and running, bro. Right. By the way, he went quiet. He went quiet after his album flopped. How many records did he sell, like 55,000?
Starting point is 00:59:09 30,000, something like that. They said he wanted to lose some weight. He said he was looking big, and before he got back online, he wanted to lose weight. He lost 25 pounds and wanted to lose another 25. I guess that's why he was taking those pills. But you take those pills, you still got to work out. You still got to train.
Starting point is 00:59:25 There's no easy way for anything. Nope, and I tell 6'9 one thing. If he don't sell no records, he going to lose about 600 pounds because all them security guards going to be gone because you ain't going to be able to feed them. All right? Telling you that right now. If you want to lose weight fast, keep doing what you're doing
Starting point is 00:59:40 and not selling no records because that security going to be gone. That's about 600 pounds immediately lost. Well, he spoke to academics and he said now that he's at the hospital, he's going to get back to exercise. And he finally realizes he needs a trainer and not no CVS products. You better save your money. All right. You better start running around whatever little neighborhood you live in because you ain't been you can't do no shows. And you only sold like 30,000, 40,000 records. All right?
Starting point is 01:00:06 That money is about to be low, low, low, low, low. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, Solomon, who are you giving that donkey to? There is a woman named Deanne Lorraine. You know, she actually came for Nicki Minaj yesterday, and I think we need to have a little petty party for her. Ha! A petty party!
Starting point is 01:00:25 Nicki Petty! Who's running with you, man? Ha! We're going to have a petty party. Yes. All right. We'll get into that next dunk. And today's next adult move is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

Starting point is 01:01:08 Donkey of the day. The practice club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years that donkey of the day is a new one. Donkey of the day for Friday, October 2nd
Starting point is 01:01:20 goes to Deanna Lorraine. Now, do you know who Deanna Lorraine is? Good, me neither. But her bio says she ran for election to theanna Lorraine. Now, do you know who Deanna Lorraine is? Good, me neither. But her bio says she ran for election to the U.S. House to represent California's 12th Congressional District. She lost in the primary election
Starting point is 01:01:34 on March 3rd, 2020. Her congressional campaign website described her as a YouTube host, conservative political commentator, and author of a book, Making Love Great Again, and host of her show, Winning the Culture War with Deanna Lorraine. Her professional experience includes working as a self-employed life and relationship coach
Starting point is 01:01:53 and as a manager in marketing and PR. Yeah, man. Never heard of her. Okay. I just know she seems to get attention from time to time, trolling rappers. A couple of weeks ago, she came at Cardi B and said that the world needs less Cardi B and more Melania Trump. Cardi B
Starting point is 01:02:10 responded to Deanna and said very eloquently, didn't she, as in Melania, used to sell that WAP? I'm going to close the box for Cardi B. And this morning, well, actually last night, her tweets were interesting. Before we get to why she's getting donkey of the day this morning, let me read you a couple of these.
Starting point is 01:02:28 Last night, six hours ago, she tweeted, our president was able to destroy Joe Biden in that debate while having COVID. The man is a machine. No, Conway is a machine. And she said, praying for you at real Donald Trump. Hashtag Trump has COVID. Then two hours ago, she tweeted, I'm just going to say what we're all thinking. Trump was fine until the debate, where they set up microphones and podiums for him.
Starting point is 01:02:53 Incubation period is usually two to three days. He tests positive a couple of days after the debate. I put nothing past the left, nothing. Hashtag Trump has COVID. Who the hell's thinking that? Nobody's thinking that. Never mind the fact Trump has COVID. Who the hell's thinking that? Nobody's thinking that. Never mind the fact Trump said COVID was a hoax. He doesn't wear a mask.
Starting point is 01:03:10 He's always attending large gatherings and his aide Hope Hicks caught COVID. None of that could possibly lead to him having COVID. Just blame it on the Democrats setting him up at the goddamn debate. Okay. Alright. Anyway, just painting the picture for the type of person Deanna seems to be.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Attention is what she wants. So attention is what she shall receive. Now, yesterday, October 1st at 3.11 p.m., in a now-deleted tweet, Deanna Lorraine said, and I quote, Nicki Minaj just had a child. Poor kid. That's it. That's the tweet.
Starting point is 01:03:45 The pettys, Nicki Minaj and Kenneth, if you're just joining us, welcomed a child yesterday. Congratulations to them. In an era where the black maternal death rate is through the roof, I am always pleased when black babies are brought into this world and everybody is healthy and alive after the fact. So salute to the Pettys. I just don't understand how there are people on this planet that are so evil
Starting point is 01:04:03 that a child can be brought into this world and for nothing more than attention, likes, and retweets, and press. Somebody like Deanna Lorraine would tweet out, poor kid. Now, last time that I checked, Nicki Minaj had a net worth of $100 million. In fact, she's the first female rapper to ever earn $100 million. I know money isn't the end all, be all. There are kids born to rich people with poor character every day, but what has Nicki Minaj ever done to warrant this wicked witch of the West,
Starting point is 01:04:30 Deanna Lorraine, to say anything less than congratulations in regards to her new child, okay? Deanna, didn't your mama ever tell you that if you don't got nothing nice to say, then shut the F up forever? Like, why all the foul stuff we see your president say and do have you never once uttered the words, poor Barron, poor Ivanka, poor Donald, poor Eric?
Starting point is 01:04:51 I don't even know if those are Trump's kids' names. It isn't Eric, right? It doesn't matter. Nobody cares. The point is, how can you have a book called Making Love Great Again when you clearly don't have any love in your heart? If you want to make love great again, start with yourself. I can look at your Twitter timeline and tell that you are a hurt human.
Starting point is 01:05:09 You are a walking wound. Only a walking wound would tweet out some nonsense like this about a black woman who just had a baby, a baby that is worth more than you right now. Now, I noticed you deleted the tweet because those damn Bobs. I know we have had a complicated relationship over the years, but I have always appreciated the Bob's petty. I really do.
Starting point is 01:05:30 And today we need to have a petty party, Bob's it's almost like a celebration for the petties. Okay. Nikki Kenneth in the new seed, Bob's Deanna's Instagram is Deanna for Congress. I repeat her Instagram is Deanna for Congress. I repeat, her Instagram is Deanna for Congress. That's D-E-A-N-N-A-F-O-R-C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S. That's her Instagram.
Starting point is 01:05:52 It's time for a petty party on behalf of the petties. Okay, you made her delete her tweet yesterday, but you can do better. I've seen you do better, Bobbs. I've seen you do better than that. Okay, I think if you, Bobbs, put your mind to it, you could make her put her Instagram on private. I've seen you do better than that. Okay, I think if you, Bobbs, put your mind to it, you could make her put her Instagram on private. I really do. You got all weekend.
Starting point is 01:06:10 No rush. Just focus. See, after Deanna, there was another guy named Dean Browning. He tweeted, Nicki Minaj is giving birth to a child today. If it is a girl, I pray it does not turn out like her mother. If it is a boy, I pray it does not turn out like his mother. If it is a boy, I pray it does not turn out like
Starting point is 01:06:26 his father. Bless that child. They will need a lot of moral guidance. Wow. His Twitter at Dean Browning PA. Now, mind you, these are people running for political office if I'm not mistaken. Dan Browning, I mean, Dean Browning is a Republican politician in Pennsylvania attempting to run for
Starting point is 01:06:42 Congress. I don't know why all of these people that are attempting to run for Congress are coming for Nikki, are just coming for black female rappers the way that they do. But at Dean Browning PA on Twitter is his name. And what you Bobs need to know is he was influenced to tweet that because Deonna did it. All I'm saying to y'all, Bobs, this is all Uncle Sharla is saying. If you don't make a real social media example out of somebody, then they're going to keep trying Nikki and her new baby. So y'all got to protect the petties by being petty. Okay. Her Instagram is Deanna for Congress, but you ain't get that from me. D-E-A-N-N-A-F-O-R-C-O-N-G-R-E-S-S.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Deanna for Congress on Instagram. And the guy on Twitter, that's at Dean Browning, P-A-D-E-A-N-V-R-O-W-N-I-N-G-P-A. That's on Twitter. Hey, Bobs, y'all got work to do. React accordingly. So on Monday, I can come in here and say, Deanna Lorraine was the piñata at the Bob's social media petty party this weekend. Poor kid. Please let Chelsea Handler give Deanna Lorraine the biggest hee-haw.
Starting point is 01:07:48 Hee-haw, hee-haw. That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise. Damn. The mayonnaise was heavy in that one. Damn. Now, come on, Barbs. I know you can do this, Barbs. Hey.
Starting point is 01:07:59 I need the Barbs to get busy this week. This week, please. They got the memo. Yeah. They got the memo. All right. And them white folks the same energy y'all be giving us when we got something to say about Nikki. All right?
Starting point is 01:08:09 Absolutely. All right. Now, when we come back, let's talk about your president, Donald Trump, and his wife. They have coronavirus. You think it's a hoax? Allegedly. You really got it? Let's talk about it.
Starting point is 01:08:20 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:08:41 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about Donald Trump, right? Now, it came out yesterday that him and his wife have coronavirus. So we're asking, do you think it's real? Do you think it's a hoax? Do you think he really has the coronavirus? You want to start with me? 800-585-1051. Let's start with you.
Starting point is 01:09:04 I don't believe it. Sadly, Donald Trump would have to pass away from coronavirus to make me believe he had COVID. God forbid that happens because I don't wish death on anyone, but I think this is all a stunt. I feel this is just his way to change the headlines in regards to not condemning white supremacy. This gives him a reason to not campaign for 14 days, stay out of the press, keep the bad headlines down, not show up for the next debate. And I think this could all be a stunt to make one of those value menu vaccines. They rushing out, look safe. He'll take it on national TV, all of a sudden be well
Starting point is 01:09:34 and give the illusion to the American public that the vaccine is safe. He'll look like a hero because he's one of the first to try it. Millions of people line up to get it. And boom, microchip implants for all of y'all. You know, and I've been thinking about this all morning long and I have to agree with you a little bit. Not the microchips part, but the part where I don't necessarily believe he has it. But think about it. Let's say he says he has it. He goes on national television. He acts like he takes the vaccine. He gets healed. He's OK.
Starting point is 01:10:04 And now he looks like the hero. He looks like the guy. Hey, I'm the one that rushed the vaccine. He gets healed. He's okay. And now he looks like the hero. He looks like the guy, hey, I'm the one that rushed this vaccine. I'm the one that got this vaccine pushed through. You need to vote for me because I care more about you than Joe Biden. So, yes, I think it's a hoax. I don't necessarily think he has coronavirus. Now, my homie, Stephanie Young. Stephanie is a black woman that I highly respect and listen to often.
Starting point is 01:10:25 She left a comment on my Instagram and told me, no, let's not spread this. COVID is real. He has it. She has it. And this proves that he has failed to address this issue, mocked all the science and doctor's recommendations. 200,000 people are dead. Him getting COVID proves all his actions and the resistance to the truth were what we knew
Starting point is 01:10:44 all along. He was wrong and he has failed. And now his selfishness has endangered us all. First of all, let me say, I totally agree with Stephanie. Okay. Stephanie Young, totally agree with her. If Trump and Melania really have COVID, they earned it. But my reply to Queen Stephanie Young would be COVID is definitely real, but it's just hard to believe that as much as this administration lies and has tried to downplay the threat of COVID, that now all of a sudden he would have it. It feels like an October surprise. And if he does really have it and survives it, we really in trouble because then Trump can push the narrative that that that 99 percent of cases are totally harmless. He's been trying to push that narrative already. But if he gets it and survives it at his age and his size, see, that's the thing that y'all not taking into consideration either. What's that?
Starting point is 01:11:38 If Trump survives, he can really push the narrative that is harmless because he has two important risk factors for COVID complication. He's 74. 74. And he's 244 pounds. He's overweight and bad hair. He's all butt and gut. Right. All butt and gut.
Starting point is 01:11:51 His body math index is over 30, right? So at just his age, his hospitalization odds are five times higher than young males in the 20s. And his mortality rate is 90 times higher. He's 74 and 244 pounds. Now, you mentioned October Surprise. For people out there that don't know what the quote-unquote October Surprise is, tell them what the October Surprise is. Why you sound like that?
Starting point is 01:12:17 It's not nothing kinky. You can't make it kinky, bro. Well, in American political jargon, an October surprise is a news event deliberately created or timed to influence the outcome of an election, particularly one for the U.S. presidency. Or sometimes an event occurring spontaneously that has the same effect. So that's what this feels like to me. It feels like an October surprise. And I mean, if you Google it, so many of them, I'll give you the last one that we probably can remember. Let's see. Let's see what the October surprise was in Clinton versus Trump.
Starting point is 01:12:48 Had to be something with Hillary. A recording from 2005 was released on October 7th, in which Republican Party nominee Donald Trump used explicit language and claimed, when you're a star, they let you do it. You could do anything. Grab them by the, you know. Pajamas. Yes, yes, yes. That was the October surprise. Oh, and then the same day, WikiLeaks began a two-month campaign of releasing emails and experts from the account of
Starting point is 01:13:13 John Podesta, and they shed a negative light on Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton. So those were the two October surprises. The recent ones. Yeah, back in 2016. Okay. All right, well, let's go to the phone line. Let's hear from the people. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 01:13:28 Good morning. Hey, what's your name? You can hear me? I can hear you. Yeah, we can hear you now. Put the new port down and talk to us. I'm sorry, guys. Spoken in black and white so early in the morning.
Starting point is 01:13:38 I'm working. I'm working. Listen, this is Vic Ante from Newark. And I just want to say that I do not believe Donald Trump has COVID. I believe this is a ploy to delay the election. On the news, they're talking about, oh, this could be so bad for a president because no one has ever been sick like this. I just don't believe it.
Starting point is 01:14:01 It's a ploy, and we need to wake up. There are so many people, including our black people, who support this man. He's a horrible person. How could you? How could you? I don't think they'll delay the election, but I mean, it's sad
Starting point is 01:14:20 that we live in an era where if our president does have corona, he gotta die in order for us to believe it. That's the only way I would believe it. I'm being honest with you. Goodness gracious. That's it. Thank you for calling. You be safe out there at work in Newark, all right? I love you guys. I'm so proud of you all. Keep growing.
Starting point is 01:14:36 God bless you both. Thank you so much. 800-585-1051. Now, it came out yesterday that your president, Donald Trump, has coronavirus, him and his wife. So, what are your thoughts? Is it real? Is it fake?
Starting point is 01:14:47 Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about your president, Donald Trump. What about it?
Starting point is 01:15:00 800-585-1051. We're asking. All right. Now, do you think he has coronavirus? This is Charlamagne Tha God, Lenard McKelvey talking. I don't believe it. Donald Trump would have to die from complications of COVID in order for me to believe it. And God forbid that happens because I don't wish death on nobody.
Starting point is 01:15:17 And as I told y'all earlier, if he survives coronavirus because he really has it, he can really push the narrative that 99% of cases are totally harmless because Trump has two important risk factors for COVID complications. He's 74 and he's 244 pounds. He's all butt and gut. Okay. His mortality chances are 90 times higher than young males in their 20s. So if he has it and survives it, boy, he really going to push that narrative that 99% of cases are totally harmless. But I really think this is just all a ploy for him to look like a hero and be one of the first people to take those value menu vaccines. And then he's going to have all of y'all lining up to take that goddamn vaccine. And next thing you know, you're going to have a microchip in your ass.
Starting point is 01:16:06 Anyway, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? My name is Dennis. Hey, Dennis. We're talking with Donald Trump. We're asking, do you believe that he really has coronavirus or do you think it's all a hoax? I think it's very true.
Starting point is 01:16:19 I think being the fact that they are always around people and so much, it's nothing but the truth. You think it's the truth? Yes. Okay. I wouldn't doubt that either. Listen, I mean, you know, if he got it, he earned it. You know, denying the science, not wearing a mask, always having these large rallies, being around a whole lot of people.
Starting point is 01:16:40 So if he got it, he earned it. But I'm telling you, in order for me to believe it, he's got to pass away. God forbid. That's the only way I would believe it. Let's see what the Lord has in store for us. Let's go to another caller. Hello, who's this? This is Jamal.
Starting point is 01:16:55 What's happening? Jamal, come on, brother. What's happening, King? Yeah, what's going on, fellas? Yeah, he put that out there way too easy, man. Just out of nowhere. Just randomly, too. Right after the white supremacist talk.
Starting point is 01:17:09 So, no, I don't think he got no corona. Like, he usually has stuff like this. You know what I'm saying? Okay. Yeah, I can't see somebody who lies the way he lies and who has downplayed coronavirus the way he has would actually come out and admit me, my wife, my aide, whole pigs, all of us have it. Like, I just don't see that.
Starting point is 01:17:28 That's just, that's so not him. Right. All right, let's go to one more caller. Hello, who's this? Enzo. Enzo, good morning, man. Enzo, what's happening? Good morning.
Starting point is 01:17:37 I'd like to say good rising to the Breakfast Club. It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you so much. Thank you, brother. Basically, check this out. I think that the whole coronavirus thing is a ploy from his political team to try to do some damage control on this man. Because before this happened, they were talking about the debate.
Starting point is 01:17:55 They were talking about taxes. And up until recently, Melania Trump's leaked tape and whatever. Now, all of a sudden, he got coronavirus. Well, that's all they're talking about. They can keep him locked up to some extent so he can't do or say anything crazy, I mean, unless they don't take his phone away, but if you ask me, that's what it is. You know, he's going to go into quarantine,
Starting point is 01:18:11 that means they're going to keep him locked up for a while, he can't do anything crazy, and that's all they're going to talk about. I agree. That's what I said. I feel like this is just his way to change the headlines in regards to him not condemning white supremacy and all other negative press that he's got and the all of that stuff man it gives him a reason to not campaign for 14 days stay out of the press keep the headlines down before the election now he's changed the
Starting point is 01:18:34 narrative all together and all that goes away but we can't let it go away we still got to bring that up keep them coming okay what about this what about that yeah he's on he's on quarantine but what about this what about that just keep bringing it up and god knows what that? Yeah, he's on quarantine, but what about this? What about that? Just keep bringing it up. And God knows what he'll do if he's there tweeting because he's bored, because he can't read a book, you know? That is true. That is true. All right. Well, thank you, bro. What's the moral of the story, if there's a moral?
Starting point is 01:18:57 The moral of the story is Donald Trump would have to die, God forbid, from complications of COVID in order for me to believe that he actually has it. That man is 74 years old and 244 pounds. He is all butt and gut. If he survives this, we're going to have hell on
Starting point is 01:19:15 our hands because he can really push the narrative that 99% of cases are totally harmless, but I don't believe any of this. I really just feel like this is a ploy to change the headlines or it's a ploy to get y'all to line up to take that goddamn value menu vaccine that they're gonna be rolling out, because he's gonna be the first person to act like he's
Starting point is 01:19:31 taking it and be the hero, and next thing you know, all of y'all gonna have microchips in y'all booties right in time for Christmas. My goodness. Alright, well, when we come back, we got your rumor report. It's Friday, so it's New Music Fridays. We'll tell you what artists dropped some new music. So don't move.
Starting point is 01:19:46 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. A lot of new music is out today. We start off with 21 Savage.
Starting point is 01:20:05 Him and Metro Boomin have a new album. It's called Savage Mode 2. Now, I didn't get a chance to listen to it yet, but let's play a snippet off the album. This one's featuring Drake. I'ma slide anytime you want. Put you in Chanel. I'ma teach you how to stand. Slip and slide like a waterfall.
Starting point is 01:20:22 You need some TLC? We can creep if you want. Turn your phone off. Take your clothes off. And that was Mr. Right Now. I'm a sad but I'm into a slow song Said the nail lady went and did her toes wrong Said the last man was always playing Drake songs And that was Mr. Right Now featuring Drake. Yeah, I haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet. I'm a 21 Savage supporter, though. I like 21 Savage a lot. First of all, I think he's a dope rapper,
Starting point is 01:20:57 but I think he's a dope human. I really enjoyed his conversation with the Big Facts podcast, DJ Scream and Big Banks yesterday. Drop on the Clues bombs for the Big Facts Podcast. And Baby Jade, Baby Jade, I see you too. I really enjoyed that conversation y'all had with 21 yesterday. He was giving out some free jewelry in that conversation.
Starting point is 01:21:17 Yep, and also YG released a new album. It's called My Life 400. He says that the album is highly influenced by Tupac. So let's hear a snippet off of that. And that was Rodeo featuring Chris Brown and Tyga. I haven't heard YG's new album yet either. I'm going to get to all that this weekend. And also, shout out to the homie Jeezy. Jeezy released a new record today featuring Yo Gotti.
Starting point is 01:22:03 It's called Back. All right, so that's some new music, so definitely check it out. it on my back. Who wanna know? Got them in the back. We sell them whole, then you can't return them back. Alright, so that's some new music, so definitely check it out. And don't forget Bryson Tiller's album, The Anniversary is out as well. Now, Kyrie Irving and LeBron James, I guess they really just don't F with each other. So, Kyrie Irving was asked about taking the last
Starting point is 01:22:40 shot at a game, and this is what he said. Ten seconds left. One point game. Who's shooting? You or Kyrie, KD? Depends on who's hot. I don't see it as anything other than that. One-three pick and roll, or it's an ISO for either one of us, or it's something great
Starting point is 01:22:56 for our team. One thing I've always been comfortable with is I felt like I was the best option on every team I played for down the stretch. This is the first time in my career where I can look down and be like, that mother****** can make that shot too. That was kind of a shot at LeBron.
Starting point is 01:23:12 I respect Kyrie. And, you know, he did have the biggest shot in Game 7 of the NBA Finals that basically won the Cleveland Cavaliers that championship. But, I mean, also LeBron on the defensive end with that block on Andre Iguodala. But, you know, it's just kind of weird because Kyrie doesn't really have the consistency to have that conversation. Correct. Because he's hurt a lot. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:23:37 And he's great. Don't get me wrong. When Kyrie Irving is on the court, he's great. Best one of the best ball handlers in the league, yeah. Yeah. I don't know. That's a weird statement to make when you've played with the greatest basketball player of this era. Right.
Starting point is 01:23:52 So, well, LeBron had this to say in return. And if there's any way that, you know, he has an influence on you on the basketball court. We, we're not jealous of each other. I think that's the best thing. In professional sports, you have guys that join forces to, you know, become alpha males. Two guys that dominate in a specific sport on their own respective teams. Do they follow each other on social media is the big question. I don't know, but then Kyrie said this after.
Starting point is 01:24:26 Why must it always be brother against brother? If I'm addressing anyone, I'll say their name. Come on, y'all. Don't listen to the false narratives. Let people live their lives. It's just a game. Because we live in a click-based society, it becomes something bigger.
Starting point is 01:24:42 I'm not going to let it put me against anybody anymore at any point because that's not what it's about. Kyrie's right too, but Kyrie has to know when he makes a statement like that, people are going to bring that back to his days in Cleveland with LeBron James. That's the first thing people are going to think, Kyrie. You played with the greatest basketball player of this era, LeBron James. Like, who's actually in, who's playing in his 10th NBA Finals, by the way.
Starting point is 01:25:08 And LeBron does follow Kyrie Irving. I don't know if Kyrie follows LeBron, though. And another reason that's a wild statement is simply because LeBron James is literally taking every team he's played with to the NBA Championship.
Starting point is 01:25:25 And won. And he's about to do it with to the NBA championship. Yeah. And won. And he's about to do it again with the Lakers. He's definitely about to do it again with the Lakers. It's just a weird statement to make when you've played with LeBron James. I don't know. I don't know, man. Kyrie probably is a better closer than LeBron, but I don't know if he's been on the court in enough big moments to prove it.
Starting point is 01:25:43 That's what the hell I was trying to say this whole time. All right. Literally that one statement. Goodness gracious. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. All right. Now, shout to Revolt. We'll see you guys on Monday. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. You can get your request in

I heard they're going to try to put us on the kiss cam, the virtual kiss cam. So that's when you got to lean over. What's wrong with you, man? You got to lean over into the next person's frame and plant your lips.
Starting point is 01:26:47 Kiss the air, but I'll really be kissing Envy's cheek. You got fantasies, man. So game three is Sunday night at 7.30 p.m. Yes, we will be there live sitting courtside. Shout to NBA Michelob and Ultra Courtside. Shout to NBA Michelob Ultra. They'll have us courtside in the virtual seats Sunday night. And, of course, shout out to our Miami

Starting point is 01:27:22 I had no plans on getting a haircut this weekend. But I guess I got to go get a goddamn haircut. Because I can't be sitting in the house with a hat on watching the game. But I can't let this headline show on TV either. When we come back, we got a positive notice. The Breakfast Club, good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
