Captain of this bitch. Angela Yee. I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way. Charlamagne Tha God. The ruler rubbing you the wrong way. The Breakfast Club. Made for everybody. Hey.

Happy Friday. That's not how we start the show. Press reset. You normally start with Envy. But he's not here. Right, so I gotta do my own thing. I don't wanna do what Envy does. You're right. You know I gotta restart it. I'm not Envy. But he's not here. Right, so I got to do my own thing. I want to do what Envy does. You're right. You know I got to restart it. I'm not Envy. Okay.

I got to be me. Okay. Ready? Happy Friday. Good morning, Angela Yee. You sound mellow. Good morning, Envy. Good morning, Charlamagne Tha God.

Beast of the Planet, it's Friday! Yes, it's Friday. I'm out in Miami, and they just did the studio over, so getting everything up and loaded took a little time, but we are rocking and rolling. What's up, guys? You in the house. I woke up this morning.

I saw Amanda Seals on the front of Rolling Out magazine, man. Drop one of Clues bombs for Amanda Seals being on the cover of Rolling Out magazine. And Insecure starts on Sunday. Oh, man. That warmed my cold heart this morning, man. Wow. Congratulations to Seals. That really did.

Salute to Amanda Seals. She's the one that's pregnant on Insecure. Yes. She plays congratulations to Seals. That really did. Salute to Amanda Seals. She's the one that's pregnant on Insecure. Yes, she plays Tiffany Dubois. Yeah, we have Issa Rae joining us this morning, correct? Issa Rae will definitely be here this morning. That's 100% correct. I will represent for all the Ashy brothers and figure out what is life going to be like without

Lawrence because Lawrence will not be on this season of Insecure. I mean, they broke up. That doesn't mean anything. You can't have a main character for two seasons and have us emotionally connected to this brother. The main character

is actually Issa Rae. That is true, but he's one of the main characters. Let's not act like he's not. No, she's actually the main character and if he's out of her life... Ain't that messed up?

Ain't that messed up? Why are you so connected to the show though? She can just write you out of your life. And that's real life, ladies and gentlemen. Same reason you connected to Game of Thrones. Ain't you emotionally connected to Game of Thrones? I'm not crying.

And he knows that those characters get killed off. Yeah, I don't get mad. So Lawrence got killed off. That's when you know you got a good show. You got a good show when people get emotionally connected to the characters that you have on your show. So Insecure Season 3 does start this Sunday. And there is no Lawrence. So, there will be no Lawrence Hive.

Yeah, I believe Charlamagne started a petition to try to bring Lawrence back. That wasn't me. He paid for everything. Advertising. I may or may not have donated a couple dollars to the petition. But that was not me. All right. Well, we'll talk to Issa Rae about all of that.

I'm sure you'll bring it up. Oh, and, you know, we haven't had any men of the cloth at the Breakfast Club in a while. So we have Pastor A.R. Bernard on this morning. Yes. Pastor A.R. Bernard, Brooklyn. Definitely. He's going to pull up to pray for us. All right.

Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Man, imagine if getting arrested could actually be a good thing and you could get job offers because of it. All right. We'll get into all that. I done been popping. When we come back, keep it locked.

This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, let's talk about the NFL. Yesterday was preseason.

What happened in preseason, Yee? Yes, preseason games started yesterday, so NFL players Yesterday was preseason. What happened in preseason, Yee? Yes, preseason games started yesterday, so NFL players are back in action. Now several players did take a knee. They raised fists, or some did not go on the field at all while the national anthem was being played. So they said Dolphins wide receiver

Kenny Stills, along with wide receiver Albert Wilson, knelt during the anthem before a home game against Tampa Bay. They said Dolphins defensive end Robert Quinn raised his fist during the song. Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett walked out of the tunnel during the playing of the anthem and then went to the team bench. They said several players on the Jacksonville Jaguars were not on the field for the playing of the anthem before their preseason game against the New Orleans Saints. Well, drop one of the clues bombs for Kenny Stills and Alva Wilson for actually taking a knee. I mean, salute to everybody who had their form of protest, but the

fact that they're still taking a knee with the NFL's policy and the fact that they probably, you know, it's still preseason because they can still get cut. I respect that because they're not scared at all. So salute to Kenny Stills and Alva Wilson. All right, now let's discuss how actually getting

arrested helped one person. She's a makeup artist, Marshala Perkins. She goes to Texas A&M University. She had just left her dorm room. She was on Facebook Live doing a makeup tutorial when she got arrested. She said she was sitting in her car for like two minutes waiting on her friends when a police car pulled up right behind her. She was taken into custody because they smelled weed

and they searched her vehicle, found two grams of marijuana. And then they did her mugshot and her mugshot went viral. So now people are saying they want a tutorial. There was a post that was retweeted more than 60,000 times. Somebody reached out to her. She said to start her own makeup line.

She said, it's crazy. My mind is blown. Now it's turned into something so positive. So I'm just going to embrace it and see where it takes me That's life when life gives you lemons you make lemon pie, right? But this is what somebody needs to do Somebody needed to get in the lab and make weed that don't smell like I know that y'all love loud But no you need to find something quiet if you can find something that's potent and quiet the world will be a better place It's about to be legal. Anyway, well, it's not for the moment. Well, they have the capsules. The reason that... What you mean? Like pills?

No, the capsules. They have the one-hitters. Weed in that, you know, is kind of smell-proof. You can't smell through it. So why people don't do that? Because don't you realize all these stories start with cops-smelled weed? And there's the vapes and stuff like that and the one-hitters. You just take one hit. There's plenty of places you can smoke.

You're telling me that everybody else is just behind on the time then? I mean, she probably was just smoking in her car. You should have been smoking a vape. But I don't know if that's going to be a good invention at this point in time because when weed is legal, that is going to be extinct. You still ain't going to want to smell it. Now, did you hear this story about the bait truck in Chicago that police are doing?

I did. This is a crazy story. So police actually left a partially open truck with Nike Air Force One sneakers and Louboutin shoes in several places around the community in Chicago and Englewood, where there's a lot of people around that they felt like might want to steal them. So basically, it's like entrapment. They're trying to get people to go and try to steal these things and then arrest them. One resident said that to the officers, y'all are dirty. It's a setup.

And they're saying that it's the same bait truck. They actually are putting it in different locations. So if you see a truck filled with sneakers and lubies... I thought that was illegal. Yeah, they can't do that. Yeah, I mean, the community is clearly outraged by it. They're saying whether they would put bait trucks

into their own neighborhoods because they're only putting it in certain neighborhoods. So what they're trying whether they would put bait trucks into their own neighborhoods because they're only putting it in certain neighborhoods. So what they're trying to say is that they can catch those people who are repeat offenders because those are the ones that actually will run up and try to steal things. Well, that's why it was 60-plus shootings last weekend in Chicago and no arrests because the cops was too busy staking out bait trucks. And not to mention, if you take a bunch of sneakers and Louboutins and pull up in a porn disenfranchised area, what would make you think they're not going to steal it? Like, why wouldn't they?

Like, why wouldn't they? No one's there. It's open. These are people that need things. They probably feel like they can take these things, go sell them, get some money. Like, that's cool. And nothing but nothing. In any type of neighborhood, if people see an unintended truck filled with things, a lot of people might go take a look.

No, only you. If you saw a truck full of Louboutins, you would definitely rush it. Only you. It would feel like a setup. I'm not really that type of person. It would feel like a setup, but I might ask someone else to check it out. My goodness. All right. Yeah, you are. And by the way, you are kind of a fool if you fall for that

bait truck at this moment. Either you're a fool or you're really in need of something. I would definitely say this looks like a setup. Yeah. You can't fall for the bait truck no more. Bait truck only this moment. Either you're a fool or you're really in need of something. I would definitely say this looks like a setup. Yeah. You can't fall for the bait truck no more. Bait truck only works once. Alright. That's front page news. Now get it off your chest. 800- 585-1051. If you're

upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night or bad morning and you just need to vent. Or if you feel positive and you want to spread some positivity, you can tell them why you're blessed. Phone lines are wide open, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? It's Brandon out of Duval. Duval! Get it off your chest, bro.

Me and my old lady, man. It's like, anytime she's ready and she want a little something, it's like she got to have it right then and there. But God forbid, I try to get some. If she tells me no, then it's supposed to be okay. But she can tell me no nine times out of ten, and I just got to rock with it. Now, what's the little something?

You talking about crack? No. What are you talking about? Sex. You talking about sex. Oh, you got to be more specific. You could have been talking about anything. It sounded like you had a coke problem.

No. Just tell her no sometimes. That's why I try. It don't faze it. I try to give the same medicine. That shit don't faze it. She's just like, okay. You don't have to have sex. You could just cuddle and kiss. Yeah, but it don't faze her. I try to give the same medicine. That shit don't faze her. She's just like, okay. You don't have to have sex.

You could just cuddle and kiss. Yeah, but the cuddle and kiss don't work seven days out of the week. And then after a while, that cuddling and kissing, maybe she'll feel like it. Man, she told me something just to an homosexual person, but I ain't know how serious it actually was. And that's why when you tell her no, she don't believe you because she don't give it to you enough now. So she's's why when you tell her no, she don't believe you because she don't give it to you enough now.

So she's like, when you tell her no, she's like, yeah, right. So what's the good solution, man? I would keep telling her no. Maybe her penis is trash. That's why she don't care. Oh, my gosh. You want to play games?

I'm going to be honest with you. The old me would have told you go get a side chick. But, you know, I am a proud member of the Faithful Black Male Association. So I would tell you just pray on it. I would tell you to masturbate more. Literally pray on it.

What's going on, y'all? Good morning. What's good? What's good? Yeah, man. I just wanted to comment on that bait truck situation, man. That's old school, bro. They had a TV show on that about 10 years ago, 10, 15 years ago. They was catching dudes out of town with that. That's old school.

Back in the day in Chicago, they used to have guns. They used to be guns, like trucks of guns and boxes of guns. They brought it back. Yeah, that's against the law. They had TVs. That's so old. They had the big TVs back then, TVs with the ass on it. Yeah, yeah's against the law. They had TVs. That's so old. They had the big TVs back then. TVs with the ass on it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, they was putting those in there, VCRs and all sorts of crazy stuff. I don't know how those. I guess that next generation didn't catch that. So they're just catching these dudes with it. But that's some old crap. Why are you objectifying the TV, though? Why are you objectifying the TV saying the TV had ass, though?

Stupid. All right. Thank you, brother. You know, they arrest people. A lot of people used to do that. Like when there's burglaries in the neighborhood, they might leave their garage open and then hide in the garage. And then when the kids come in the garage to steal it, they would shoot them. They would go to jail.

You can't entrap people like that. But hello, who's this? We have a TV show called Big Car. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Charlamagne. Good morning. Good morning.

How are you? Good. I just wanted to tell you guys a story and get some feedback from you. I just got back from vacation. I have been in a relationship for six years, on and off. And when I got back to my place, my place was vandalized. And he broke my bedroom set because he actually walked out on me. What was he so mad for?

What was he so mad about that he broke all your stuff? Well, he just broke the bed because he said that, you know, we purchased it together. And since we're no longer together, he didn't want me using that bed with someone else. That's so petty. I'm not going to lie. One of my ex-boyfriends tried to take my mattress down the steps and out the door when we broke up. How do you break a bed?

With a saw. Oh, gosh. He is crazy, girl. You better be glad you're not with him anymore. Count your blessings that he's out of your life. Yes, and I hope he's listening so that he knows that he said to me that we have different values. And I said, hell yeah, we have different values. Why would you hope he's listening?

He sounds like the angry type. He sounds crazy. Hope he got a restraining order. That's when you're like, I'm glad I'm not with that person anymore. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us at any time. Nayee, we got rumors on the way?

Yes, we're going to talk about Kim Kardashian. She was on with Big Boy, and we'll give you some highlights about what she said on there. She talks about Northwest. She talks about Tyson Beckford and a whole lot of other things. All right. And don't forget, Issa Rae will be joining us next hour, all right? So keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's D-E-J-N-V, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kim Kardashian. She's spilling the tea.

This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Yes, so Kim Kardashian did a sit down with Big Boy and she talks about a lot of different things. Now, one of the things she talks about is her daughter, Northwest, asking her about why she's famous. Here's what she said. Mom, why are you famous? And I was like, oh, OK, OK, I'm going to have to explain this. And I'm like, I'm like, we have a TV show. We have a TV show. And I'm like, we have a TV show. We have a TV show.

And she was like, oh, okay. And, you know, that was the first time when she was like, oh. I wonder if Northwest knows that she's the 300th millionth person to ever ask that question in the history of all Kardashian life. I'm sure she knows. Salute to North for being in tune with what's going on in the universe. She's like, what is really going on here? We still don't have an answer to that question either, by the way.

She said why, because they're on TV. All right. Yeah, but how'd you get the TV show? That's a good follow-up question. Don't worry, North. You'll get to ask those questions later in life. Now, she also talked about being married, but being at a restaurant with Kanye. And here's what happened when she was married to Chris Humphries.

So I'm presenting an award, and the award was Kanye was nominated. So I see him backstage. We end up both at the Soho house and he sat at my table and I had my big ring on because I was married. So I'm like talking with my ring and I talk with my hands a lot. So I'm talking and I just see him looking at my ring and his hand, his face would just like get heartbroken. So I sat on my hand. You know, we look back now and I guess him and his best friend had a convo and was like, dude, like we're at a restaurant together. Like she just got married two weeks

ago. Nothing went down. Nothing happened. But then I went to New York and started filming and I was like, you're right. I'm miserable. I made the wrong decision. I think we all knew that relationship was fake. It wasn't going to work. You said it was fake? Why did she hide the ring from Kanye though? Because she said that she could tell he was I think we all knew that relationship was fake. It wasn't going to work. You said it was fake? Yeah, it was fake. Why did she hide the ring from Kanye, though? Because she said that she could tell he was heartbroken.

She could see it in his face, and he was looking at her ring. So she was trying to hide the fact she was a married woman? I guess she just didn't want him to feel hurt. Who knows why she did that? Why did she wear the ring to begin with? She's married. I'm saying if you know you're going on a date with another dude, and you're playing the separate.

I don't know that she was on a date. She said she was just out to eat, and he sat at the table't know that she was on a date. She said she was just out to eat and he sat at the table. Yeah, she was at a restaurant. I just want to tell every woman out there and every man if you gotta hide your wedding ring or you're ashamed of your wedding ring, you don't need to be in that relationship. Now she goes on to talk about the situation that just happened with Tyson

Beckford where Tyson had tweeted out, she is not real. Doctor effed up on her right hip and that's when she responded, sis, we all know why you don't care for for it here's what she had to say about that because people were accusing her being homophobic really dude like you're gonna body shame me like okay okay sis people were sending me stuff on his page that he like keeps on going and going and going and like i'm just like dude that's so female lame to me. It's just lame to me. And for anyone to say that I am homophobic. Right.

The comment of saying sis, like I'm sorry, like I'm the least all my best friends are gay. I support the community. I still don't know why it was the point of calling him sis. You know good and well why she called him sis. Because it's been rumors for years that Tyson Beckford is gay. Yes. So, I mean, I wouldn't that, that doesn't make her homophobic. That was just her basically saying, we know why you don't like it.

Right. She should have just said that. You don't like women. All right. Now let's talk about Tekashi69. According to prosecutors, they want him to get up to three years in prison because they're saying he violated his 2015 plea deal by getting rearrested twice and by joining a gang also. He was in court yesterday. He had four bodyguards with him and he was supposed to be

sentenced to three years probation. That was for posting that lewd video of a half-dressed 13-year-old girl performing oral sex on a friend. In that video, he is thrusting his hips behind her, simulating a sex act. Now, he did plead guilty in exchange for the no jail sentence, but he was not ever supposed to get

arrested again and fulfill all these other conditions. But as you can see online, he's still doing a lot and claiming a lot of different things. So the prosecutor is asking for the judge to get rid of that plea deal and actually send him to jail. Yikes. So they want him to go to jail for one to three years.

Well, I'll tell you this. All that SMD is not going to work in prison. You'd be be in prison telling guys the smd somebody's going to definitely jump in your jeans right you ain't even got to worry about that there so please now according to that plea agreement they also said he would have no criminal record if he complied and complied with everything but of course if they take that off the table then he'll have to actually be a registered sex offender yikes that's not going to work in the game of rap. Not at all. You can't be a registered sex offender dissing everybody

because that is too easy for people to use. Well, now his defense lawyers are asking for more time to respond to the prosecutor's allegations, so he will be back in court on October 2nd to find out what's going to happen. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, your rumor report Alright thank you Miss Yee Now coming up next

I don't know why. Well, we'll see this season. Except for when you thought he disrespected you when he f***ed in your face. She was going through a lot. She was, you know, she was going through a lot she was you know she was going through a lot and she that was like

the straw that broke the camel's back you know for her so I saw him at the airport you saw a lot

yes and I kind of was like angry at him and then I realized like Daniel's just the character

and I realized you know what I'm saying I realized I met him before when we did what was that show printed did the Hustle

he's a great guy I love him. I know he probably felt like I was being a little cold to him, but I was like, nah. Y'all made eye contact and you stood up. And I was like, oh, my bad, Daniel. You know, you're not Daniel. But why would you be mad at him? I just feel like Daniel broke up a happy home.

I want you at Lawrence. Do you want that? No, because you said you want me to suffer. So I don't even know that you want me to suffer. Just one more season, then y'all get back together.

you know, so I just want to depict them how they went. Do you believe in going back in a relationship? I've gone back. Do I believe in going back In a relationship? I've gone back Do I believe in it? I don't know I think it just depends On the person

I'm very forgiving I never forget But I forgive So if It feels like we both matured And we're both Acknowledging things Because I don't like

Holding on to stuff I need to put it all out there If you talk about it Then you know The possibilities are endless At what point Did you learn forgiveness? Because I really think

I just learned that concept. I never used to believe in forgiveness. I know you still don't believe in it. You always say that you don't believe in it. I did, I did. I didn't tell you all that, but I had a breakthrough this weekend when I was sitting on my grandma's porch.

I did, I did. And in therapy, I had a breakthrough. Because I always talk about forgiveness, and you always say you don't believe in it. A couple days ago. I know, but I prayed for that person. I did. I'm serious.

I'm dead serious. I had to get that anger and resentment. I never felt that way towards a person where I really, really, really wanted to hurt them in a way. So I was like, I got to let that go. It's that energy, though. I think that's just like holding on to anger and just resentment is taxing. And I think for me, it's just like I'd rather let that go.

And you also have to remember Charlamagne forgives, but the goons don't. So what they do has nothing to do with me. Forgiveness, like I say, is always more with me. Forgiveness is, like I say, it's always more for yourself because to not have, like you said, it is taxing on yourself to be angry

and have these feelings towards someone else. Who wants to walk around feeling like that? I know. I don't want to forgive. Like, I always will remember. Forgive, not forget.

But I'm not praying on it. I'm not thinking about it all the time, but I just don't f*** with you. That's fine. But you can still forgive the act and be like, okay, we're good. We can separate. Now, spoiler alert.

I did get to see the first episode because they sent us the screener. I'm not going to lie. I was out all day. I was exhausted. But I came home. I was tired. But I said I got to stay up because I am watching this first screener because I was so excited for it. And it does not disappoint.

I was really excited to see where Issa's character is going. Okay. And to see the job. Actually, the side job that you have made me want to do that. I want to do that job. I tried to do that. Let me not. I don't want to give it away.

I don't want to give it away, but there's a side job. And I was like, you made it look so appealing and so much fun. I was going to talk about it, but not talk about it. No, I respect that. I thought y'all were talking about a guy at first. I was like, that's a new name for side job. It should be. It is a job.

I want to talk about it because I think it's so interesting. Well, don't talk about it. I don't want that out there yet. Sunday, you'll find out what she's talking about. Adulting, they say, is a theme explored in season three. Yeah, it's like about knowing better, doing better. You know, that's like one of the key things of adulting. It's like, you know, nobody's going to know, that's like one of the key things of adulting.

It's like, you know, nobody's going to forgive you. Nobody's going to make excuses for you. After you pass like your 20s, people are like, she should know better. Yeah. And she needs to do better. And there's like after some part when you make mistakes, you need to learn the lessons from those mistakes. And our characters make some decisions.

And now it's about like watching them not kind of double back. How was adulting for Issa rae in real life though it's like you like a mogul now celebrities writing like cover ebony okay i don't happen thank you i still make lots of mistakes but i feel like i know who i am and that's part of adulting is just like not shifting yourself for somebody else. Like, you know, when you come into your own, you're just like, this is who I am

and now I need to make that work for me. But do people allow you to grow? Because, you know, as a kid, we didn't have social media so we could grow. If we messed up,

we messed up, it was over. But now it's like, you know, they'll pull up an old interview you did seven years ago and be like, remember when you said that? That's really the thing

about the internet. Like, everything lives forever. And I feel like, yeah, there is a culture of just, like, holding people to a certain time period in their lives, which I feel like is harmful. Because, you know, that social media is so public in terms of, like, what you put out there at the time. And I think

about, like, I used to read articles all the time where people would be like, oh, I complained about my job on Twitter and they got fired. And I'd be like, how stupid are you? And then I was going through my old tweets and I did the same shit and I added my job. I was like, I was like,

oh, I'm so tired working here, blah, blah. I was at a museum, like, just got hired. They don't even, and I was like, talking about it. And I was like,

you know, 25, 26. And I was like, how stupid could you, I would never do that now. But there was just something in that you feel like it's contained, like it's a bubble.

That's why you gotta delete the tweets. I was just talking to Ray J about that. And it's good that when you look back on just something in that you feel like it's contained, like it's a bubble. That's why you gotta delete the tweets. I was just talking to Ray J about that, and it's good that when you look back on stuff, and it makes you feel uncomfortable, because that lets you know that you've grown from that. A hundred percent. Because I cringe at a bunch of stuff that I used to say. But that's why I have a journal. Like, I have a journal where I look back and I'm like, ooh, but yeah, I cleanse all the time. I think it's good to purge thoughts, and it's

just, again, it's so unnatural for people to have access to the thoughts that you had and hold you accountable today, when, accountable today when there's no context. Even last time when you were here, we talked about your book, and you were like, I wrote that so long ago. Now you look at it, and you don't even want people to look at that book as who you are now. Yeah, but I also get why people do, because if they buy it today, they're like, oh, this is her. But, you know, it's just you don't think about how books live forever.

Let's read a passage from your book. Oh my God. This is why I propose that black women and Asian men join forces in love, marriage and procreation. Educated black women, what better intellectual match for you than an Asian man? And I'm not talking about Filipinos. They're like the

n****s of Asian. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Blacks of Asian. I'm sorry. Why do you say n****s of ER? Oh, blacks of Asian. What? Okay. Blacks of Asian. Do you still stand by that? It was so interesting. I wasn't even on social media at the time when that came out.

Wale of all people was like, yo, I saw you trending. I thought Insecure, the trailer dropped. I'm not even going to look and then you know I said my publicist hit me blah blah you know I wrote that in 2010 you know and that

was the context of like Steve Harvey coming out and all these news things like black women have no hope educate black women there's no chance for you nobody yes black men so satirically sarcastically I, you know, reading a lot and noticed that there was just an abundance and surplus of. And of course, it was a joke. But I was like, for this to come up and this is my, this is my drug.

This is what I'm getting drug for. I've never even dated outside my race. I was like, I stay loyal to these ashy n****s all my life. I was like, can I go on back page? Like, see if I get any hits. Like, let me try to see if I can get a hit. Because this is ridiculous. These dudes are like, I don't even cheat.

And I might as well cheat because you think I am. And that also felt like it was just beyond me. Like, I was like, this has nothing to do with me. People project a lot. And they want you to be this certain thing that they think you are. And as soon as you show a glimpse that they fit what you think they are, they're like, ah, I got it. I knew that.

Yep. I knew that bitch. Ooh, I knew. And then I felt bad too because I was like, you know what? Some black people really don't read. I'm like, this book was out for so long. Did it make more Asian men holler at you?

No. I mean, I also, I wouldn't know. But no, I wasn't walking down the street. First of all, also, Filipinos, if you take black as an offense, like, that's on you. Stop. All right, we got more with Issa Rae when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ and D'Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Issa Rae in the building. Insecure is back this weekend.

Yee. Okay, so you are living at Daniel's house. Mm-hmm. Right? And so how does that even end up happening in this season? Because y'all are not together. She didn't want to stay with her brother. And there's also something, because again again based on real events and no i never

lived with like an ex but i have stayed with one and it was when i when i needed to but you also just find an excuse of just like being around i want to be around you and i can't explain why and this opportunity is available and i just really want to explore but i also don't want to tell you that and let me just see what's up. So that's how it happens. So let me make myself vulnerable. Let me tell you, let me lay the rules because she comes and she says, look, I'm sleeping on the couch. That's it.

That's where it starts. Next thing you know, you're in the bed. Then you're wearing this t-shirt. Then y'all having unprotected sex. Now you pregnant. Now Lauren's like, damn, see? I knew it all along that she was in love with him Who do you think has more big energy What

This is an excellent question Laurence or Daniel From the outside looking Who has more big energy Who has more big energy Between Laurence and Daniel I think Daniel does In real life are you attracted more big energy between Lawrence and Daniel? I think Daniel does.

In real life, are you attracted to big energy? Hold on, Charlotte. Who the f*** is big energy? Who do you think has big energy? They don't know. I don't know what that is. I've told y'all all the time, I have a very average sized penis. I have no idea what that is. You got SDE.

What is big energy? Seriously, what is it? What did she say? She said you got SDE. ADE. That sounds terrible. ADE. What's big s***? Seriously, what is it? What is it? What she said? She said you got S-D-E. A-D-E. That sounds terrible. A-D. Average.

What's big s***? An ego? You know how you just walk and you like, you know, you just walk with a certain confidence. No. Like,

I don't know. For guys, guys, it's a real thing. For women, we could tell the size of your s*** by the way that you carry yourself. Really?

True. All right. Nothing to True. All right. Nothing to say. All the women in the room are like, I don't know if the chef got anything to do with it, bro. That ain't what I need to be poking out. There's a nonchalance. There's a nonchalance about life.

There's a certain nonchalance that you have when you're walking walking When you're carrying There is You don't really sweat stuff It's kind of like when you got your gun on you What? When you got your gun on you Yeah

Congrats on the Ebony magazine cover though Thank you You look incredible You don't carry yourself like the awkward black girl At all anymore Thank you for that I appreciate that I mean't carry yourself like the awkward black girl at all anymore. Thank you for that. I appreciate that. I mean, you never did to me anyway, but I'm saying.

I don't see it at all. It's the glow up. Yeah, that's the glow up. Even Miley glowed up. Everybody. It's on the actual show. Yeah. Thank you.

Being able to date and have options. Can we bask in the glow of her Ebony magazine cover before we jump back to Insecure? No, I love it. I love connecting it back to Insecure. Shout out to Yvonne Orji who's just been, you know, sexual rock and sexual talent and sexual force. She's growing up too. Yes, in every single way.

I can't imagine doing the show with anybody else. She's such a positive light of energy and she glued the f*** up too. And she got a man now in real life which is real cute. I'm happy about that for her Love him, love them He supports her, which is all you can ask for He gets it

Oh, he saw Insecure for the first time Well, no, he hadn't seen Insecure before they hooked up And then, you know, he was at the premiere And, you know, the first episode was kind of racy So it was a lot for him to deal with Do you still feel like the awkward outsider? An outsider? No, because I'm like, I demand to be in.

And there's so many, like, of my peers around me where I'm just excited to be amongst them. You know, I don't feel like an outsider. I just feel like, what's next? I feel anxious and I feel so excited to be able to do stuff and create the next me. Because you're like, you are the party now. Like, it's not like he used to say, he used to go to the parties and kind of just like hang out. and create the next me. Because you're like, you are the party now. Like, it's not like he used to say, he used to go to the parties

and kind of just like hang out, but now it's like Issa is one of the lives of the party. Not the life of the party, but I throw a good party. I'll still be in the

background of the party like looking at people dance like get it, get it, get it, hyping people up. But, you know, it's just... Your red coat kickbacks be lit? My little kickbacks?

Yes, I'm having another kickback. I'm having another. I'm having a yacht party soon. A yacht party? Whoa. I like good parties. And I had one last year because I just randomly tweeted, like, I want to do yacht shit.

And I had one and just invited a bunch of my friends, and that was great. And it was right before the season premiere of 2, Insecure 2. And so this year is just going to be a little bit later because I have no weekends left. But I just want to have fun.

Like, what's the point of doing this if you can't have fun with your friends? Why do I feel like you talk to your accountant just like that? I want to do yacht.

Can I do yacht? Can I do yacht? Oh, I can't. I feel like somebody would let her borrow a yacht now at this point. No, I wish. If you know anybody that would,

I still got to pay for this. Yeah. All right. You know somebody that can't let me borrow a yacht? I actually do, yeah. No, I wish. If you know anybody that would, I still got to pay for this. Yeah. All right. You know somebody that can't let me borrow your yacht? I actually do, yeah. Okay. All right, keep it locked. We're kicking it with Issa Rae some more, so 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 on this Friday. We have Issa Rae in the building. Yee? Question for you.

In real life, somebody called up here for advice and she just got out of a 10-year relationship. So she's now dating two guys at once and now her ex is calling her a hoe because she's sleeping with both of them. Now, what kind of advice would you give a young lady like that who out of a 10-year relationship, her ex cheated on her with her best friend

and now she's dating and sleeping with two guys. What would you say? Because she's feeling insecure that her ex is calling her how they have kids together. She still has to see him. Why does her ex know that, though? Is she calling her? Who cares?

Live your life. He cheated on you. He's your best friend. He don't give a f*** about you. Move on. He's trash. That's all I can say. Right.

Sorry, kids. Your daddy's trash. Your He's trash. That's all I can say. Right. Sorry, kids. Your daddy's trash. Your daddy's trash. Did you hang out with any gang members growing up in here? Yeah, I did. Remember why G was here? Why G was talking about you? Why G was talking about me?

Yeah, he was like, yo, shorty that, shorty that, right to show, you know what I'm saying? She from the crib, from the crib, you know what I mean? That's what I said. And she, you know, so she know the gang culture, you know what I'm saying She from the crib From the crib You know what I mean And she's you know So she know the gang culture You know what I'm saying Is that how he's on it Yeah

I am And I was like He just made my day I was like Did he say hang out with the gang I mean I'm neutral No I went to school

You know I went to school in Compton And it was just like A diverse Group of black people And yeah There were some people That banged And you know It was just like That was the culture When a. And yeah, there were some people that banged.

And, you know, it was just like, that was the culture. That was like when a white person asked you about black people in the hood. Like, have you ever met a gang member? I didn't say met. I said hang out. I'm sure she met. But one of the people that I was insecure when I knew that I wanted to do like the blood walk scene. I went to high school with dude.

And he was the only person I knew who knew how to blood walk. Like we went to, we did school one day. went to the homies house and had a party and i remember mac 10s do the damn thing came on and he was just like you know i'm 15 16 i'm mesmerized i'm like i've never seen people blood walk before and so when it came time to write an episode for someone to blood walk i was like i know exactly who i'm gonna call call. I'm going to call Brandon. And he showed up. I hit him up on Facebook like, hey, do you still know how blood walks? And he was like, yeah, and came through.

Do gang members get mad about your depiction, the way you depict them on Instagram? They haven't attacked me like they've attacked Cardi in any way. No. They haven't hit you up and extorted you yet? They have not. They haven't complained. They haven't sent a formal complaint. They haven't added me, so I feel like they haven't complained they haven't

sent a formal complaint they haven't added me so I feel okay and you see YG gave

it his stamp he said he watched it I'm just funny that I'm so

grateful that's it he said the bread he did not say bread

you're getting my hopes up right now now I got a wife's interview you just wrapped a

movie too right yes yesterday I'm very hype I had a little champagne before I came here just to celebrate because I was like it's just You're getting my hopes up right now Now I gotta watch the interview You just wrapped a movie too right Yes yesterday I'm very hype I had a little champagne Before I came here

Just to celebrate Cause I was like It just doesn't make sense That I'm going straight From a movie To doing interviews Why not You're a star

What movie It's a movie called Little It's a Will Packer movie That Marseille Martin Who plays Diane on Black-ish She picked when she was Ten years old Wow that's amazing

And it's getting made now. We just finished out shooting it with Regina Hall, who's my favorite, and just finished it. You filmed it in Atlanta, right? I filmed it in Atlanta. Yeah, and it's based off of...

Big. It's like, yeah, it's totally different, but yeah, the inspiration came from Big. It's like the opposite of Big. Big is one of my favorite movies ever. I used to watch that

like every day as a kid. I still watch it now. You wanted that piano, right? I wanted that big piano, yes. And then I went to the toy store and got to play it. And then now that toy store is gone, right? Yeah, they closed it down. That's a tragedy.

And what about this film that's been rumored for so long with Ava and Issa and Rihanna and Lupita? Because I'm hearing it's happening. That's a discreet saying. That's what YG told me. YG told you that? Stop making up stuff that YG said. It's in production.

It's in production? Definitely not in production. You know. But I have another movie coming out. Okay. It's called The Hate U Give based off of Angie Thomas' book. It's coming out in October

starring Amanda Stanenberg. And it's Regina Hall's in that one as well. And basically, I've done two movies so far, and Regina's been in both of them. So I want to be in every movie she's in. I'm going to pull up and be like, what are we doing next? Oh, they had the screening for the Essence Fest. The screening was there? I still haven't seen the movie yet.

I know we're doing it. We're premiering. World premiere will be in Toronto Film Festival. But I know they were there for it. She was on my flight. That's why. Who was? Regina Hall. Talking s***. No, she didn't. It was early. But listen, we know you gotta go, but Insecure is coming out on every single Sunday. It debuts this

Sunday, and I promise you, because I already of course stayed up late to watch the first episode. The screener is so good. It's so exciting, and you're gonna remember when I said the job that she has on there, you're going to wish you had that job. It made me really feel like I should try to apply for this. You should.

In real life. And a sip. Us interviewers don't have to worry about anything, right? That's just a little hobby for you, right? It's a hobby. What do you mean you don't have to worry? Y'all do this. I don't.

This is just an excuse for me to drink alcohol and get, you know. We got some cases for you right here. Why don't y'all ever have drinks? We do. I feel like y'all should work. Why do you drink

tequila with us yesterday? Why do you drink tequila? But y'all don't ever offer like up front. We got Remy, what you need. What do you like to drink? We got, we got

Can I take a case? Yes, you can take a case. What? You guys are so hospitable. You should be called the hospitable club because that's it. That's what y'all are. Hospitable blub.

All right. Don't you disrespect that red dress you got on. I'm sorry. It's the breakfast club. It's Issa Rae. Thank you. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the breakfast club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kanye

West. Listen up. It's just the end. All the rumors. Let's talk Kanye West. 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. Yes, so Kanye West was on with Jimmy Kimmel.

Now, he hasn't been on that show since they had their back and forth via social media when Jimmy Kimmel actually aired a video making fun of Kanye West. That was back in 2013. So now he was back on the show. Now, amongst the things that they discussed, Jimmy Kimmel asked him about, you know, his support of Donald Trump. And here's what Kanye had to say. Everyone around me tried to pick my candidate for me and then told me every time I said I like Trump that I couldn't say it out loud or my career would be over. I get kicked out the black community because blacks are, we're supposed to have a monolithic thought. We can only like, we can only be Democrats and all.

So even when I said it right before I went to the hospital, when I came out, I had lost my confidence. So I didn't have the confidence to take on the world and the possible backlash. And it took me a year and a half to have the confidence to stand up and put on the hat. So basically he wanted to support Trump, I guess, because he didn't want people to choose who he should support for him. Yeah. Kanye is one of those people that if you want him to do something, you have to tell him the opposite of what it is you want him to do. But I don't want him to support Trump, say you're supporting Hillary. So I'm basically going to just do it. I'll say you're supporting Trump. I'm going to make decisions based off of trying to go against what everyone else wants.

That's who he's always been, though. When has Kanye West not been like that? Even if that's not what you believe in. Listen, when has he not been like that, though? Does that make sense? Listen, he's been wrong a lot of times throughout his career. We just was riding with him then. So I'm'm gonna tell him not to eat poop so that he will eat it he might all right now jimmy kimmel stumped him with this question when he was talking

about his saying that george bush does not like black people but how come he thinks donald trump isn't the same way whether we like his personality or not the his actions are really what what matter i mean you've so famously and so powerfully said george bush doesn't care about black people it makes me wonder what makes you think that donald trump does or any people at all why don't we take a break? We'll come back. And Kanye West. Let the record show. Charlamagne Tha God asked him that same question in my two hour long interview with him. And he did the exact same thing.

But people think that I said Jimmy Kimmel gets the credit. Stop it. Why are you? Because somebody tweeted me that. One person tweeted you that? Yes. That's all it takes is one tweet. Charlamagne, this is not about you, okay?

Can we just talk about this without... I'm just saying, I asked that man the same exact question. He had the same exact response. Did you ask him about watching porn? No, I did not. All right, well, Jimmy Kimmel did. Well, kind of. I like Jimmy Kimmel's interview.

Shut up. Anyway, somehow this conversation turned to Pornhub. Here's what else happened with Jimmy Kimmel and Kanye West. Do you feel like your attitude towards women has changed since having daughters? Nah, I still look at Pornhub. What kind of stuff do you look at? What categories?

Blacked is my favorite category. You don't have to go into that. I mean, you can if you want. I mean, what's the point of being Kanye West if you can't? Let's break down the porn categories. A lot of black on white, obviously. All right. So black on white porn.

There you have it. Somebody need to ask him if he ever watched Kim and Ray J porn. I knew you were going to say that. You should have asked him in those two hours. No. You said someone needs to ask him. Why not you? Because I don't need that kind of clout.

Anybody out there that's trying to clout chase and y'all want to have Kanye something that's going to make headlines, ask him that. All right? I don't need it. Okay? I'm good. Now, another thing that happened, of course, was mean tweets. And this one was particularly funny. It was a hip-hop edition of mean tweets.

And you'll hear Remy Ma. You'll hear DJ Khaled. Check it out. 50 Cent is a moron and needs to be kicked in the ball set. I don't think anyone deserves to be kicked in the ball set under any circumstances. I think that we should take these violent thoughts and place your energy somewhere a little more productive.

I feel like Remy Ma physically fights her beats. Like, she can't rap on beat to save her life. Remy Ma also physically fights people that talk on Twitter. Like, she can't rap on beat to save her life. Remy Ma also physically fights people that talk on Twitter. Like, for real. F*** them up. Yo, DJ Khaled, focus on getting your fat ass in shape, guy. You can't inspire people

to be great when you haven't seen your f***ing ears. I enjoy the Mean Tweets segment. I actually think Mean Tweets could be its own show. It definitely could. Like a nice little, I mean, because, you know, a 30-minute show is only 20 minutes. It could be a nice little 20 minute show on somebody's network. We should do that up here once in a while. We should steal that from Jimmy Kimmel.

First of all, Charlamagne Tha God has stolen that from Jimmy Kimmel. I do it every week on Breakfast Club's Twitter page. You do? See what I'm saying? I don't know. People swear white eyes. I watch Jimmy Kimmel do it. Even when you steal from the white man, even when you steal from the white man the way they steal from us

and do what they do, you still don't get credit for it. All right, well, Demi Lovato has canceled the rest of her tour all because of her trying to make sure she takes care of herself. She was supposed to be performing and going on tour, but she's going to be in treatment for a lengthy period of time, so she's canceled the rest of her tour. You've got to take care of yourself first and foremost. It is what it is. but she's going to be in treatment for a lengthy period of time. So she's canceled the rest of her tour. You got to take care of yourself first and foremost.

It is what it is. Like, you know, forget about everything else right now. If you don't take care of yourself, there'll be no fans because you won't be around. So, yeah. And Idris Elba, since you're talking about black, white and all of that, the rumors that he might possibly be the next James Bond are getting even closer. According to the producer, Barbara Broccoli, they said director Antoine Fuqua revealed the details of a conversation

with James Bond producer Barbara Broccoli in which he said it is time for a non-white actor to take on that iconic role. Fuqua discussed who might be next in the running and they're certain the progressive move will happen eventually with Idris Elba, a front runner for that role. Would you be interested?

Man, they've been saying that for years. I know, but it's a little bit closer now that the producer is talking about it. Well, I will drop one of Clues Bond for Idris Elba because the truth of the matter is, this is just me and my world. Idris Elba means more to me than the character of James Bond. So Idris Elba is already an action figure to me. He's already a movie hero to me way more than James Bond. So I don't give a damn if it just ever plays James Bond. Who else you think could play that role?

Michael B. Jordan? I got the same body type. I think me. Man, shut up. Oh my gosh. They might as well just keep it as a white person. I ain't never watched a James Bond movie. You do got a white dad body in you. Shut up. You do got a white dad body. I've never watched a James Bond movie in my life. Oh, you haven't?

I actually enjoy James Bond movies. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Charlemagne. Yes, sir. Who you giving that donkey to? Well, since we talked about white people so much in the Rumor Report, let's have a little discussion about white privilege.

Uh-oh. And the benefits of white privilege for us all. All right. We'll discuss it before after the hour. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day.

That's 45. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. That's 45. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yes, donkey of the day for Friday, August 10th. All right, goes to a young woman from my home state of South Carolina named Elizabeth Cutshaw. Drop one of the clues, Bones, for South Carolina, damn it. Okay.

803-843-864 all day. Now, if Elizabeth was a garbage pail kid, her name would be entitled Elizabeth. I know you youngins have no idea what a garbage pail kid is, but Google is your friend, bro. But just know that garbage pail kids represented and still represent the highest levels of trash in human form. All right. You had Junk Food John, who was the glutton for all junk food. You had Sickie Vicky, who was always ill, booze and Bruce, who was a drunk and entitled Elizabeth would have fit right in. And her name would speak for itself because she represents the entitlement and privilege that she knows she has as a white woman on this planet.

Now, I have no problem with white people using their privilege in America. Zero. I just don't like when white people act clueless to their privilege because we all know that there are societal privileges that benefit white people. And I'm not going back and forth with you mayonnaise loving Taylor Swift lovers on this. You know it's true. And once again, I don't have a problem with your privilege. Just don't deny it when I bring it up. OK, one of the benefits of having white friends is to be able to use their privilege like Starbucks Wi-Fi. All right, let's not act like white privilege can't be used for the greater good of us all. All right, white people's privilege is one of the only things that can stop racism because it takes good white people to tell

racist white people they are wrong and their behavior towards minorities needs to change. That's why I always stress that white people must use their privilege to combat prejudice. So don't ever think being aware of your privilege as a white person is a bad thing. Just use the privilege you have to do the right thing. Word to Spike Lee. Now, I actually respect Elizabeth because she's fully aware of her privilege. And when she got pulled over and arrested for speeding and driving drunk, she wasn't using her privilege to help anyone but herself.

In fact, she laid all her privileges out on the table for police to see. Let's go to Inside Edition for the report, please. A lady pulled over for suspected drunk driving tried a novel argument to avoid going to jail. She told the cops she was too pretty. She also said she was smart, a cheerleader, and went to an accredited university. But instead of dissuading the officer, he says it was just further proof to him that she was intoxicated. Pretty girl, please don't leave me going there.

Lauren Elizabeth Cutshaw begs for mercy after being pulled over for allegedly speeding past a stop sign. She's put in the back of a police cruiser. Then she sobs as she rattles off the list of reasons why she doesn't deserve to be placed behind bars. I graduated from a really good university. I was almost a valedictorian. I graduated with a 3.8 in my high school. I went and got a scholarship to my college. I was an all-American cheerleader.

I mean, I've been a busy bee my whole life. At the police station, she called herself a very clean, thoroughbred white girl, according to the arrest report. The officer says he asked her what that had to do with anything. You're a cop. You should know what that means, she allegedly replied. Where's my white tears mug when you need it? I'm a very clean. You're a cop. You should know what that means. I I'm a very clean thoroughbred white girl. Okay, if you hadn't have added girl at the end of that statement, I would have thought you were describing a horse.

What does very clean thoroughbred white girl even mean? What can a very clean thoroughbred white girl do? Make mayonnaise from scratch? Do very clean thoroughbred white girls own more pair of leggings and Ugg boots than other not clean and pure white girls like what in the name of downtown abby is going on here anyway the most telling thing in this audio is when the cop asked her what does that mean in reference to her saying she's a very clean thoroughbred white girl and entitled elizabeth responded you're a cop you know what that means meaning don't act like you don't see my privilege shining you know what this is you ignore people of my hue breaking the law all damn day why did you stop me for driving drunk and speeding when you could be out here

profiling black and brown people and drawing your weapons on them just because they're not wearing seat belts how dare you not acknowledge my entitlement by asking me what does that mean when i tell you i'm a very clean thoroughbred white girl do i have to spell it out for you mr officer w-h-i-t-e p-r-i-v-i-l-e-g-V-I-L-E-G-E I am entitled Elizabeth And I am a beneficiary of a system That is failing me right now Because I am in handcuffs for actually breaking the law And that is not how this is supposed to work

That's how a white person Who knows and acknowledges they have privilege Actually thinks And you know the old saying Drunk person speaks the sober mind In Elizabeth's case It's a drunk person speaks an entitled mind. Please give entitled Elizabeth, a.k.a.

Elizabeth Cutshaw, the biggest hee-haw. For the record, Elizabeth got charged with speeding, disregarding a stop sign, simple possession of marijuana, DUI, possession of drug paraphernalia, and she was fired from her job at the real estate agency. Jesus Christ, Elizabeth, your white privilege signal is poor.

That backfired. My God, your white privilege has a weak signal. Minorities, this is not the kind of white friend you want, okay? Get you a white friend whose white privilege signal is strong. All right. Jesus Christ. All right, well, thank you for that donkey of the day, Charlemagne. Now, when we come back, we have Pastor A.R. Bernard in the building.

We'll kick it with him next. We have not had a man of the cloth here on The Breakfast Club in a long time. In fact, I think the last man of the cloth we had up here was Reverend John Gray with his wife a couple months ago, maybe. So, you know, I'm glad that Pastor A.R. Bernard is coming this morning because we could use the prayer. We need it. Yes. All right. We'll get into that when we come back.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Pastor A.R. Bernard.

Good morning. Good to be with you all. How are you? I am blessed and highly favored. I'm blessed black and highly favored. Pastor A.R. Bernard. Good morning. Good to be with you all. How are you? I am blessed and highly favored. I'm blessed black and highly favored. All right, good. Let's start with your departure from the Evangelical Advisory Board. What was your defining moment that made you want to step down from there?

Well, interestingly enough, we're about to celebrate the first anniversary of Charlottesville. Yes. And that was the turning point for me. You know, I came on the board because of two things that were presented. Number one, the proposal for an inner city initiative agenda and the administration's intent on doing something about the inner city situation in our nation. That was part of his campaign promises.

And number two, religious liberty. So you were hopeful this would be positive for you to be able to be involved in the changes that could potentially happen. I believe in having a seat at the table, not just for the sake of having a seat at the table, but because that seat empowers me to speak truth to power. That's the only reason I would go into a situation like that.

So after experiencing the campaign year and then the first half of his presidency, in terms of that first year, first half of the first year of his presidency, it was clear to me that the group was simply a photo op. The group was simply a prop, you know, to give a certain impression to that political base that, you know, he had the support.

And when I saw that it wasn't going anywhere and my efforts weren't going to be effective or efficient in any way, I had to rethink my place there. And then when Charlottesville came, where he drew that false equivalent, you know, between both sides. Yes, good people on both sides. You know, yeah. I mean, you know, white supremacists are equivalent to, you know, peaceful protesters.

You know, that was problematic. And it simply reinforced that this man is not immoral. He's not moral. He's amoral. And when a person is amoral, it means that they don't subscribe to a set of core values or moral influences. So they're transactional. It's based upon the art of the deal, the moment, and the transaction and winning. So I could not cooperate with an individual like that.

Pastor John Gray just met with Donald Trump. Well, not just Pastor John Gray. There's a whole host of black pastors. Well, I'm just talking about something that just... And I got problems with that. Yeah, it was a bunch of them. It was like, well, I got problems with that. Yeah, you know, and I know some of the individuals who were there.

And, you know, I was disappointed, really, because I knew what it was about. It was about diversion. It was about distraction, which this president is a master at. Safe to say you wouldn't have gone. No, I wouldn't have gone. You have more information as far as what it's like to deal with him on that level probably than you think.

Yeah, but some of those at the table. Because then people were also talking about like Kim Kardashian went and got something done. I think it's different when someone like Kim Kardashian goes to meet with him as opposed to when clergy meet with him, especially black clergy. So when we go in there, we have a prophetic responsibility to speak to the issues. And we can do that artfully, tactfully, respectfully to the office of the presidency, regardless of how we feel about the person who's occupying that office. And we have that responsibility to do that. You got Pastor Darnell Scott in there saying that he's the most pro-black president in his life.

Darrell Scott. And that's problematic when you think of all the issues. That was the craziest thing I think anybody could possibly say. It's nothing further from the truth. But I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised at all that there would be individuals in that frame of mind positioning themselves in a place of power. You know, this goes back 200 years.

You know, slaves did that during slavery. So I'm not surprised. It's unfortunate because it sends the wrong message. I just don't like the disruption and the infighting that it causes when somebody from our community goes to speak to him. Now, I can't speak for every pastor in there, but Reverend John Gray is a good man. And he's a leader of men and women. And I just don't like how everybody's giving him so much flack just because he tried to go in there and do what you tried to do. Wait a minute.

He brought that flack on himself by the decision that he made. And I think people know when they meet with Donald Trump that it is going to be some type of... We don't got to cancel him though. I don't think he's canceled. I don't think he's canceled. And he's a good man. I love John Gray and I

want to be there for him. But these emerging leaders need mentors. They need seasoned individuals in their lives that they can run a conversation like that by before making critical decisions. Even though I've had 40 years in ministry, I've been at this and 10 years in the business world. I still call individuals when it's a major decision, all right, that. That I'm going to make or if I'm invited to a space that I know can have ramifications. I want to think through what's going to happen. What will those optics mean?

See. So when you go in there and say, well, I'm not the president's boy. I'm not anyone's boy. Or I went there for this particular reason. OK, let's judge the fruit of that. What was the outcome of that? Because when you have the platform and you're sitting right next to the president, and I don't want to hurt John Gray.

I want to see him successful. He's a young, emerging leader, and I want to see these individuals continue the legacy. All right? But at the same time, we've got to be conscious of the weight of the decisions that we make, even if it's taking a picture. We have more with Pastor A.R. Bernard when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's D.J. Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Pastor A.R. Bernard in the building. Yee. You even talk about how marriage is different now just because society is different. In my book, Four Things Women Want from a Man, I talk about people getting married to find themselves.

And that's a problem because we're all born with the identity crisis and the resolution of the identity crisis as something that carries us through life until we resolve that crisis. So if I'm going to marry you because I'm going to find myself in you and you're looking for you in me. All right. We two lost people trying to find each other where we're not going to find. You have to be, you know, like all those single sisters out there.

All right. You got to be complete and whole in your singleness. Right. And bring that into a marriage relationship, because if you're looking for that man to complete you, you're going to be disappointed. Are we ever really whole, Pastor? I feel like being whole seems like perfection. We are in a process. Like I said, perfection is impossible

in this fallen human condition that we're in. But it's worth the pursuit because of the person that we become in the process. Because more important in life than what you get is the person you become in the process. And I think probably being whole is different for every person. Like some people might be completely content to be making $20,000 a year, have three children and settle down and happy and they're married. Some people might feel like, okay, I want to travel the world.

These are things that for every person I would think the pursuit of what makes them happy is completely different. Well, you're drawing two things, external things and internal things. I think wholeness begins internal. It's the interior life as the place that you find wholeness. And that is basic to all human beings. It begins with resolving the identity crisis. Who am I? Why am I? Your sense of purpose. That's all interior.

I wanted to ask you about wholeness because, you know, you talk about marriage and two whole people, I guess, coming together. How do you find that? If nobody's completely wholesome, what are you really looking for? Well, again, the pursuit of wholeness, I think it's important. When you get married, it should not be a collision of two histories. It should be a point of confluence where you bring your experience, your gifts, your talents, your abilities, your relationships to bear on this new relationship that brings the two of you together. So it's really

becoming incorporated. All right? And then you create a new stream of life and you deposit in that stream along the way. And you create a legacy behind that. I think that's what it's about. Not like this is going to fix me, but I'm already feeling like I'm a whole person myself.

And so now I'm ready for this. Because I think a lot of times we make mistakes where we think, well, I can change this person to be the person. Or after we get married, then he'll be the person that he should be or I want him to be. And all those things, I think, for each of us individually have to happen before you come together. I'm glad you're saying it because you're saying it just like a woman.

Women, unfortunately, can tend to feel that marriage is a construction project and they're the general contractor. So you don't marry a man for what you're going to turn him into, what you can make out of him. His potential. You have to understand that what you see is what you get. And what you better pay attention to is his character because that's really what you're marrying. Not his knowledge,

not his money, not his looks. You're managing his character. And that's what's going to come to support you and strengthen the relationship, bite you. Why is forgiveness important, Pastor? So I just had a breakthrough. I'd never believed in forgiveness. And then I'd actually prayed for a few people that I had an issue with over the past couple of weeks. And I actually felt better after I did it. And Pastor A.R. Bernard, just so you know, we have argued about this because I believe in forgiveness. And he has always said everybody's not worth forgiving. Well, if forgiveness is considered a value judgment of the person's worth,

then it goes back to the dignity of the human person stamped with the image of God. Every person is worth forgiving. Forgiveness is designed to free you. If you fail to forgive someone, then you attach yourself to their sin and you carry it for the rest of your life and they can go on and forget all about you freely. But you're still carrying that burden. It's more for you than it is for the other person. It's not like, I'm forgiving you, now you can go to heaven. It's, I'm forgiving you so that I don't have the burden of

having these feelings about you. Not saying that you forget what somebody has done. You don't forget because you have to exercise wisdom. You have to know, okay. And not that you have to be friends with them. You don't have to be. You have to understand, okay, this person can no longer occupy this space in my life because they're not mature enough.

There's no sense of purpose. So I've got to move them out of this space in my life. So forgiveness liberates you, man. It makes you free. So if I pray for someone and I forgive them, but when something bad happens to them, I say, look at God. And I smile a little bit. Am I wrong?

Matthew, you're wrong. That's retaliation. That is revenge. I didn't look at God. And I smile a little bit. Am I wrong? You're wrong. That's retaliation. That is revenge. I didn't do it, though. You didn't do anything. You know what you're looking for? And that's intrinsic in human nature, the desire for justice. And you feel that justice is played out if something bad happens to them.

See, I do believe in karma. I do believe that when people do things wrong, they bring karma that's bad onto themselves. But I don't believe I have to do anything. I just feel like if you're that type of person and you do things that are harmful to other people or you're a malicious person, that malicious things will end up happening because that's just the law of the universe. But that's still her looking for some type of justice. I'm not looking for it. Well, look, human nature, we do want justice.

We can't lie and say, well, I don't care what happened. I'm sure that if something happens to someone that we decided to just let it go, you know, we say, hmm, karma.

You know, look, the scripture says God is not mocked. Whatever a person sows, that's what they're going to reap. That's karma. That's a biblical expression of karma.

What goes around comes around. Pastor, can we end they're going to reap. That's karma. That's a biblical expression of karma. What goes around, comes around. Pastor, can we end in a prayer? Absolutely. Lord, thank you for your grace, your favor, your love for all mankind. Thank you for the sense of purpose that you've given to us, because we know that

you've created each one of us for a purpose. Thank you for love, and learning how to love ourselves ourselves and learning how to love each other. Thank you for fulfillment and achievement that we were designed for. And thank you for the platforms such as this that you give us to speak life into a society that is in confusion, that is moving towards chaos. Thank you that there's still hope in the midst of the darkness, that there's light. Thank you for everyone who understands the responsibility

that comes with that platform. May they use it well to bring your love, life, and light to the world. We pray for all of those out there that are struggling with challenges. Know that there is light at the end of the world. We pray for all of those out there that are struggling with challenges. Know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. There is a God and he's very real. And he is there to give his love and grace to you.

I pray this all in Christ's name. Amen. Amen. His name is Pastor A.R. Bernard. Thank you for coming, my brother. Yes, sir. It's the Breakfast Club. The. Bernard. Thank you for coming, my brother. Yes, sir. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's D.J. Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

You know, I want to say happy birthday to Michael Bivens. Today is his 50th birthday. So happy birthday, Bivens. Oh, that's a big one. Happy birthday. Yeah, they're opening a park for him in Boston. It's called Mike Biv Derby Park out in Boston. We were supposed to head out there, but, you know, we all have different things to do today.

So happy birthday to Mike Biv, my brother. Salute to the good brother, Michael Bivins. I always wanted to play him in a movie. But, of course, I aged out of that role. And Jazz from Empire ended up playing him. And I also want to salute one of our faithful listeners here to The Breakfast Club. And Besa Salam. I know I'm pronouncing your name wrong, but she's from Eritrea. Okay, and she here to The Breakfast Club. And Baisa Salam, I know I'm pronouncing your name wrong,

but she's from Eritrea, okay? And she listens to The Breakfast Club every morning. Happy Born Day to you, boo. I promised her I would give her a Born Day shout-out for her Born Day. So happy Born Day to you. And it doesn't matter that I'm mispronouncing your name, because you know who you are. All right, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Nicki Minaj. This is

The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it Angela Yee. All right. Well, it is a big day for Nicki Minaj because her album Queen is coming today. Now, I thought she pushed it back to next week, but it looks like it is coming out today. So that is going to be happening at 9 a.m. if you're on the West Coast and noon if you're on the east coast i'm looking forward to it i cannot wait to listen to it and i will uh please please people do not rush the judgment on the album i hate when y'all do that i hate when the album comes out at noon and y'all got reviews by 12 30 can we live with it for the weekend please well yeah she actually

had did her queen radio and she announced it there she said she was gonna play the album uh live there but somebody messed something up, so she wasn't able to do it. So, I don't know. But she had a whole listening thing yesterday. I saw a lot of people were out there. Lauren London was there. Cassie, Kelly Rowland, Jennifer Williams, a whole lot of people showed up. Drea. So...

You have a listening, but you haven't played out? I guess it was supposed to happen. I don't know. I don't know. But the first episode of her Queen Radio was on last night on B2One. So that's where she made that announcement about the album coming out today. And she is going on tour also.

Let's not forget that in September she'll be on tour with Future and I think 6ix9ine is on some of those dates as well. So congratulations to her. Today's a huge day for her. Yeah, salute to Nikki. I can't wait to hear that. Shout out to Nikki. And she's also going to be performing at the MTV VMAs. So apparently it's going to be from some great location in New York.

Junior's Restaurant is what I heard. I'm going to tell you something else, too. Smart move for Nikki to get Queen Radio, because that way you avoid having to do any interviews with any radio stations, okay, or any podcast. You know, good. Start your own radio station. Do your own damn interviews.

All right. Now let's talk about Lil' Kim because Lil' Kim recently sat down and did an interview, and she was saying that she's tired of questions about Nicki Minaj. Here's what happened. God bless her. What she did, she did. But you know what? God bless her.

I wish her the best. I'm past that. I'm over it. At the end of the day, she did what she did. But you know what? God bless her. I wish her the best. I'm past that. I'm over it. At the end of the day, she did what she did and until she's ready to be, you know, hopefully God puts it on her mind or whoever else's mind to do the right thing because she knows what she did.

And once that happens, then, you know, hopefully everyone will stop asking me because y'all do that to her. I mean, listen, man, she got a point. I mean, she got a really good point. I mean, Lil' Kim is Lil' Kim. There's a lot of things to talk to Lil' Kim aboutall do that though her i mean listen man she got a point i mean she got her she got a really good point i mean little kim is little kim there's a lot of things to talk to little kim about and do little kim and nikki even still have an issue that's not like a hot button topic right now yeah she's saying that all that is behind her and you know wish you well and everything but you know they were asking about the album title queen

and little kim was the queen bee so i guess yeah but then that's like asking queen latifah how she feel about that. Right. You know what I'm saying? Like all black women... Hey, we all queens. All black women are queens. All women of color are queens, you know?

But if you're just talking about in terms of rap, Queen Latifah's name is actually Queen Latifah. All right, now let's talk about Snoop Dogg and Tamar Braxton. They are going to be doing a play together. Here's what Snoop Dogg had to say on his social media account about it. What up, Thors? Your boy, Big Snoop Dogg, to say on his social media account about it. What up, Thorsha Boyd? Big Snoop Dogg coming at you with some brand new news. I just partnered up with my main man, Jacare Johnson

on a play. That's right, y'all. Redemption of a Dog. And it's coming to theaters real soon. Are you here for it? What is the name of that play? Ain't No Fun? That is definitely not the name of the play. If the Braxton's can't have none? No, absolutely not. What's the name of that play?

What kind of stage play is that going to be? Listen, I'm here for it. I'm excited about it. I actually remember when Jim Jones had his play. No, I don't. Oh, Jim Jones had a play. Really? It was about his life.

It was really good. Yeah. I don't remember that. So the first show is in Houston, October 5th, and it's going to be in all different places. Detroit, Memphis, Atlanta, Norfolk, Virginia, Brooklyn. Listen, I love stage plays. I love theater because that's when you get to really see how skilled people are

because you can't mess up when you're on that stage. Ain't no retakes, baby. But if you do mess up, you got to just keep flowing and going with it. Act like nothing happened. And people in the audience shouldn't even be able to tell. Like, you might think you messed up, but people who are actually watching should feel like,

oh, it's supposed to be like that. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now let's get into the People's Choice Mix. You want to hear something at DJ Envy. I'm going to start the mix off with Poison. Again, happy birthday to my brother, Michael Bivens. Like I said, he's opening up his park today. He's having games all day, surprises all day. So get down there to the park. It's Michael Biv Derby Park. Mike Biv, we love you.
