What kind of show is this? My son listens to this show. The Breakfast Club. With DJ Envy. The captain of this b****. Angela Yee. The only one who can keep these guys in check. With Charlamagne Tha God.

I'm a lovable a**hole. And this is The Breakfast Club, bitches! Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Monday. Yes, it's Monday. Back to the work week. Back to the work week, man. You know, last night on Instagram, I posted, you know, these two-day weekends are starting to feel like 30-minute lunch breaks.

That's really how they're starting to feel, bro. They are. I feel like we just left here. Can we get three days? Actually, I just had three days, so I can't. You had like four. No, I left on Thursday. I had Friday off.

We need like three. We got to change these things in America. We've been doing this same system for a long time. I don't know how long. I've only been here for 43 years, but I feel like they've been doing it before us, too. The two-day weekend thing. It's time to expand that. It's time to expand and make it three days.

Just give us a day. Give us an extra day. You know what I mean? It's a lot of work to get done. Everything can start on Tuesday. Tuesday to Friday is fine. Don't you think? I don't know about that.

And I saw somebody say, when I posted that, somebody said, well, if you was a real entrepreneur and you was a boss like Dame Dash said, then you know you have an extra day. Entrepreneurs got to get up and go to work on Monday too, sir. I'm not going to lie. I did have off on Friday. And when I tell you Friday, I feel like everybody was texting me about different things

about work. I was stressed out even though I had the day off. I was like, I just need a moment. I just need a minute. It is actually really hard being,

you actually work like 24-7. That's what I'm saying. It never stops. Even if you're an entrepreneur, if you're an entrepreneur, I feel like you got to work harder. I wake up in the morning to messages.

At night before I go to bed, I got to clear everything out. Everything is non-stop. No, like you got to work harder. I wake up in the morning to messages. At night, before I go to bed, I got to clear everything out. Everything is nonstop. No, it's definitely nonstop. I was in the office all day Saturday. Of course, it's tax season, so I got to prepare the taxes and get everything right for taxes. Just don't pay him. Huh?

Terrible idea. What? I just wanted to see how your face looked. What? IRS, I'm playing, guys and gals over there. That was literally McAlvey. And then you know how you get all those forms in the mail that look like it's a check, but it's really for your taxes? Rashawn Casey said he's paying his taxes soon.

You ain't got no choice. You better. Geesh. Nothing worse than getting that letter in the mail from the IRS. You don't know what it's for. Lord have mercy. Well, we're here, okay? Great problems to have.

Happy Monday, everybody. That's right. Well, today, Kimberly Jones will be joining us. Well, we're here. Okay. Great problems to have. Happy Monday, everybody. That's right. Well, today, Kimberly Jones will be joining us. Oh, man. She's an activist and author. She has a book, How We Can Win. So we'll kick it with her in a little bit. Kim is all energy.

You hear me? Kim is a spirit. I don't know if you've ever seen the movie Bullworth. But in the movie Bullworth, the displaced man tells Bullworth, don't be no ghost. You got to be a spirit. Kimberly Jones is a spirit. You hear me? You know, over the weekend, I told you I was on a plane and I seen In the Heights, which is a musical.

And I thought my kids would love it. So I sat them all down. I ordered it. That movie was expensive, too. It was $14. But I ordered it. I sat them all down. Within five minutes, they looked at me too. It was $14, but I ordered it. I sat them all down. Within five minutes they looked at me like, nah, this ain't for

me, Dad. So I just had to watch the game by myself. I never saw it. It was pretty good. I thought it was good. Shout out to Lin-Manuel Miranda and Anthony Ramos. Yeah, I thought it was great actually, but my kids, I don't think they understood it yet. They're kind of young. Why they don't like their own people, man? Isn't a lot of Dominicans in that movie?

Yeah, my kids are not Dominican, but they're not. What is up with you, man? What is up with you? Are they daddy Dominican, but they not Dominican? This is wild. No, their daddy's not Dominican. Come on, man, bro. Come on, you could have been on Power, bro, playing one of Monet's baby daddies, bro.

Stop it. Oh, my goodness. All right. Knock it off. Let's get this show cracking. Front page news, what we talking about? All right, well, let's talk about President Joe Biden. On Thursday, he is asking for greater investments in local police departments

alongside social services. We'll tell you what he has to say. I told you all that was coming. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are the Breakfast Club. You know those links they sent, I would say maybe about two, three weeks ago, that if you fill out this link, they'll send you a free at-home COVID test? Yes. Yeah, well, those COVID tests, did y'all get them? They starting to come in there. I didn't. You got yours, Nick? Yeah, I got mine. I have some at home already, so. I don't pay attention to no

packages that come to my house. Yeah, I purchased some of those, too. I'm sure they did, though. Okay. Alright. Well, let's get into some front page news. Now, the Pro Bowl was over the weekend. Did anybody watch it? Did you guys watch? No, I saw Deion Sanders complaining about the fact that nobody takes the Pro Bowl serious anymore. And back in his day, it was a privilege and an honor to be there.

You know, they used to go there and actually play. Yeah, that's when it was in Hawaii. I never really watched the Pro Bowl, though. It was never, I don't know. Well, the AFC beat the NFC 41-35. What else we got, Yeezy? Well, let's talk about Joe Biden. On Thursday, he was calling for greater investments in local police departments and also social services. In a visit to New York City, he said, we are not about defunding the police. We're about funding.

And he also rejected the defund the police idea that had been pushed. He's also pushing his five-part plan that was inbuilt in June that sought to stem the flow of firearms and also invest in police resources. Right now, Republicans are saying that Democrats are weak on crime. And this is all before the midterm elections in November. So here is what Joe Biden is asking for from Congress. It's time to fund community policing to protect and serve the community. And so I'm also calling for increased funding for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the U.S. Marshal's offices. I'm confident that if we fund these programs, we'll see a

reduction in violence. They're also asking for new efforts to crack down on ghost guns. Those are unregistered and untraceable homemade weapons that can be made with a 3D printer. So right now they're saying with more guns than people, the U.S. is by far the most heavily armed society in the world. And sales to first time buyers skyrocketed in 2020. A new crime bill on the way guaranteed. It won't be called a crime bill, but it'll have all the makings of a crime bill because Joe Biden is a notorious tough on crime politician. And with violent crime rising the way it is in America, you know that's coming. But what is community policing? That's what I want to know. Biden is a notorious tough on crime politician. And with violent crime rising the way it is in America, you know that's coming.

But what is community policing? That's what I want to know. Well, you know, there's a lot of people who are community activists that actually have a lot of programs to get guns off the street. Like Erica Ford. Exactly. Yeah. So more investments into that, because a lot of people do that work with investments from the community or for free. So now let's use some of that money. And that is kind of what defunding the police was, right? Actually taking some of the money that goes to the police department and putting it toward these services and people who are doing the work.

That is exactly what defunding the police is. Yes. All right. Now, Eric Adams, in the meantime, the mayor of New York City of New York, has apologized after an old clip resurfaced where he was recorded saying that he was a superior cop compared to his colleagues. This was at a private Harlem Business Alliance event back in 2019. where he was recorded saying that he was a superior cop compared to his colleagues. This was at a private Harlem Business Alliance event back in 2019, and he actually called some of his colleagues crackers. He did nothing wrong. Why did he do it?

I'm sorry to apologize. Inappropriate comments should not have been used. Someone asking me a question using that comment and playing on that word, I responded in that comment all right do you want to hear the original statement here's what he said originally hey Miss Arden a lieutenant and the captain you know the story some people all of a sudden trying to reinvent me,

but the reality is what I was then is who I am now. I can't tell anyone how to react to anyone's words. If you are offended, hey, man, you have every right to be. But if you ask me, I don't think Eric Adams did anything wrong other than pronounce cracker wrong, okay? He said it too proper. Okay, let him hear how you should actually say it, Ray. Oh, boy.

Come on, Ray. Cracker ass cracker. There you go, man. If you're going to say it, you got to lay it out there. That was two years ago. That was a gentrified version of cracker. Yeah, three years ago. Three years ago?

Okay. Now, one Navy SEAL candidate died and a second was in the hospital after getting sick. Just hours after they successfully completed the Hell Week test that ends the first phase of assessment and selection for Navy commandos. According to the Navy on Saturday, they were both rushed to the hospital. They said neither one had experienced an accident or unusual incident during the five-and-a-half-day Hell Week. This is part of a class that includes basic underwater demolition, survival, and other combat tactics.

It's in the fourth week as SEAL candidates are being assessed, and they're hoping to be selected for training within the Naval Special Warfare Basic Training Command. So one of them died and the other was in stable condition. The cause of death was not immediately known and was under investigation. Now, it was unclear from the autopsy report, but one of them, they're saying, revealed that Lovelace, he's the one that had an enlarged heart that contributed to his death and that he also had an abnormal coronary artery that had been associated with sudden cardiac death. A lot

of times that happens with athletes. Yeah, that was very sad. They need to get rid of that hell week. They're saying only 25% of the SEALs actually make it through, finish the task that they're supposed to do. And if only 25% can finish that task, wouldn't they take the task

away? They said the program is so grueling, at least 50-60% don't make it through Hell Week when they're pushed to the limit. So it's like when college kids are trying to join a fraternity or sorority, that's what that's like? I don't think it's actually like that, but it's like that.

I don't mean exactly like it, but you know what I mean. Yeah, but it's a tough week. It's like hazing is what you're saying. Yeah, it's not hazing, but I guess it's a tough week of things that they have to do. But if 25% only make it through, why continue to do it? Yeah, that's wild. Now we're doing it for issues and giggles? Like, you know, it's no sense.

When you say make it through, you mean like they actually die? No, no, no, no. I mean finish the task. They don't die, but they finish the task. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Alright, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up. Phone lines are

It's the third season of Celebrity Big Brother. And in this latest episode, there was a moment that was caught on the show's live feed where he actually pooped in the bed. Listen to this. It sounds like you're scrubbing vigorously.

I am. That's good. I just let the world know I just hit the s*** on my bed. No, you didn't. I did. I cleaned it up. I'm fighting the world. Did Patrick hear you?

Yeah. Oh. That's not going to help you get Chloe back. I tell you that much Not at all Well he posted what happened on his Instagram He put ish happens My manager calls me a ish show for a reason

I actually suffer from lactose intolerance and IBS So last night's late night snack On Big Brother of beef jerky sticks Candy and warm milk Was a stomach ache My god Lamar What the hell My fart turned sharp and, I'm on TMZ.

The good thing is it didn't happen during a competition. The bad thing is Pepto-Bismol hasn't reached out to me for an endorsement yet. Yeah, I'm lactose intolerant, too. I don't have no IBS, but I don't drink milk at all. But I still have never sharted in the bed. Lactose intolerant or not, that's a terrible combination. Beef jerky sticks and warm milk. Disgusting.

When you said it, it's like, oh, my God. How dare he? I've never sharted in the bed. Have I sharted in the car while driving? Yes. Me too. Never in the bed. Are you trying to shart, shame him in the bed?

So it's okay to shart other places. I just never did it in the bed. Yeah, I'm just going to see how you do it in the bed. I did it up here one time. I did it in the car one time. I mean, it could happen if you're just doing it sitting here at work. But when you're in the bed or you can rush to get to the bathroom in the car, I was really, like, trapped in the car.

But I feel like the point of shouting is you think it's a fart. No, I knew I had to go. I thought farting was going to relieve a little bit of the pressure. And so when I let that little poof out, I was like, oh. And then it was followed by something warm and ready. No, no, no. I thought it was gas. That's what I thought it was. I knew it wasn't no poop or ready. I thought it was gas. That's what I thought it was.

I knew it wasn't no poop or diarrhea. I thought it was gas. No, I knew I had to poop. But I thought that I could fart and just relieve a little bit of tension. That's what I thought. I was peeing up here. I was trying to lose a little gas. And it wasn't gas.

And I just had to take my boxes off. Oh, that happened here? Yeah. Oh, wow. You sound fascinated. No, I remember there was always this story about, you know, people thought he was up here doing things he handled business doing with somebody. What?

I'm just playing. What are you talking about? You're just making stuff up. All right, now, Wendy Williams has asked the judge to unfreeze her Wells Fargo account that has several million dollars in it. Now, she's been locked out of that account for two weeks, according to court records. Her petition said she suffered imminent and irreparable financial damage as a result. And so they have not immediately responded to an email request for comment at Wells Fargo.

But they're saying that they said the agreement with Wendy Williams allowed it to pause or reject instructions for a proposed transaction if the company suspects financial exploitation, dementia or undue influence, according to the petition. And so the petition, I guess, means that they can actually just cut off her access to her bank account. I'm definitely sending Wendy Healing Energy. That's not the way I want that story to end. You know what I mean? For somebody who's had the career that she has, she deserves to go out a different way. But who am I to say that? I'm not mad at that, though. They're protecting

her assets and making sure that she's okay before they release any money. I'm not mad at that. They're not spending her money. It's not like they're saying, hey, you can't have it. They're just saying, we want to make sure you're okay and it's not somebody else spending your money that's not supposed to be spending it. Clearly, somebody knows something that we don't. Clearly, there's more to the story that we don't know. I'm not mad at that.

That is your rumor report. I really just keep thinking about the fact that, like, if people think me and Envy got something going on, right, and then they find dirty underwear up here. Just imagine a custodian that listens to this show

and they find a pair of dirty drawers. They're like, I don't know what they got going on. Can you imagine? And then you talk about it on the air as like a cover up

in case it ever comes out to get ahead of the story. Oh my God. Oh my God, man. But that is your rumor report. Happy Monday. Did you not think

about that? No, I didn't think about that. You should have put it in a bag or something. You just don't throw it in the trash. What the fuck are you doing? Somebody just find a pair of dirty underwear.

Nobody should be in the trash, bro. Why wouldn't they be? I put it in the bottom. I don't know, man. Who changed a baby in here? Why is a baby wearing grown drawers? Lord have mercy. You guys are crazy.

All right, front page news is next. Last time I saw something like this was when I was cleaning up at Rikers. That's the breakfast broker body. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. The General Insurance is a quality insurance company that has been saving people money for nearly 60 years. What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy.

And you should take a closer look at The General. Call 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com. The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc., and Insurance Agency, Nashville, Tennessee. Some restrictions apply. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news.

Now, Pro Bowl. That was this weekend. Did any of y'all see it? Watch it? I haven't watched the Pro Bowl in years, sadly. I don't think they do a good job marketing the Pro Bowl. That was this weekend. Did any of y'all see it? Watch it? I haven't watched the Pro Bowl in a year, sadly. I don't think they do a good job marketing the Pro Bowl. I mean, also, we know that the players go there and don't really care. Yeah, they don't really tackle. So what's the point of watching the game? Exactly.

Well, the AFC beat the NFC 41-35. Now what else we got, Yeezy? All right. Well, Mark Zuckerberg's Meta is adding a feature now, and that is to combat virtual reality harassment. And this is after a woman says she was virtually gang raped in the metaverse. The feature is called Personal Boundary. That will prevent other users' avatars from invading your avatar's personal space.

So it's going to be rolled out starting on Friday. So if somebody tries to enter your personal boundary, the system will halt their forward movement as they reach that boundary. They said, we believe personal boundary is a powerful example of how VR has the potential to help people interact comfortably. It'll kick in if other users come within about four feet of each other. So it's like social distancing. So basically, you still got a social distance in the metaverse. Yes, you can be like, stop, don't invade my personal space. But the metaverse, I thought, is your character, avatar that you make up though right you can make it up right so you can give

yourself like extra strength and things like that right am i wrong because it's not real what are you talking about so you can push through the boundary is that what you're talking about but like let's say let's say we're in a metaverse and you try to sexually assault me right i should have enough power where i could beat your ass up man shut up man it is but he shouldn't but now with this personal boundary, then he won't even be able to come within four feet of you to even be able to do that. Gotcha.

Don't be a virtual rape apologist. Because you can make up whatever you need. I could be strong. I could kick, run. Don't be a virtual rape apologist. Respect people's boundaries. But in that case, he could overpower you, right? I don't know, but then I could overpower him.

Listen, all we know is if, right? I don't know, but then I could overpower him. In that case, listen, all we know is if people are uncomfortable with avatars... I don't know how it works. I'm just asking. But doesn't that defeat the purpose of the metaverse? I thought the purpose was to all congregate amongst each other. Well, you don't have to activate your personal boundaries. If you're comfortable with somebody, you can let them in, but you don't have to disallow

anybody in your personal space. I wish that existed in real life. Yeah, I'm sure it's going to be nuanced. I wish that existed in real life. Yeah, I'm sure it's going to be nuanced, right? Like, there's certain people you can keep away from you, and there's certain people you can bring in. I would assume. If I know you, I'm like, okay, you can come in my personal space. All right, now, hundreds have taken to the streets of downtown Minneapolis Saturday afternoon, many of them carrying signs saying Black Lives Matter and Frey Light. A mayor died just after a mayor, Locke, 22 years old,

was fatally shot by Minneapolis police SWAT team executing a no-knock warrant. So apparently a mayor, Locke, had nothing to do with anything. He was on his couch under the cover sleeping and the police busted in using one of those key fobs. And he jumped up. He had a gun and they shot him. But he had nothing to do with anything. So they're still doing these no-knock warrants in Minneapolis. They said the same judge who presided over Derek Chauvin's trial signed the no-knock warrant that led to Amir Locke's death. According to reports, Judge Peter Cahill is the one who signed off on the warrant, which is currently sealed.

And so here is Amir Locke's family speaking out. This is very, very detrimental and heart-wrenching and hard. I should be able to tell my son that I love you and he says I love you too. But now I have to do that in spirit. That's not right. I believe that he was executed by the NPD and I want the police officer that murdered my son to be prosecuted and fired. The city identified the officer

as Mark Hanneman, but they gave no other information about him on a public data page set up by the city. I don't feel enough noise around this story. I don't feel enough noise around this situation. You know, have we become numb to police killings? Is everybody exhausted because this happens, you know, so much and we just police killings? Is everybody exhausted because this happens so much and we just don't know what to do anymore? Like, what's going on? That's why we want to make sure we report these stories as we hear them.

And you said it was the wrong house? He was the wrong person. I don't know. We don't have all the information on who it was. There's other reports saying that a person that was of interest lived in that house, but we just know it was not a mayor lock. He had nothing to do with it. That we do know.

You can't just say my bad after you take a life. And we've already said that no-knock warrants are terrible. Look at what happened to Breonna Taylor. And his gun was licensed. It was licensed. He had a concealed carry permit for his weapon. And I don't understand why people act like if somebody just randomly busts into your house and you're not expecting them, you're not going to go grab your weapon.

Absolutely. That's the whole point of having a weapon. Absolutely. This is the same city where George Floyd was killed also. Let's remember that, too. It's just strange to me that there's no malpractice when it comes to law enforcement. That's what it feels like. It feels like there's no malpractice when it comes to law enforcement.

Because you should not be able to make a mistake like this, and there'd be no consequences to your action. All right. Well, we'll keep you updated and make sure we keep on discussing a mere lock. And that is your front page news. So sad. All right. Well, that well, what are we talking about? What you want to get into? What are we talking about? All right. So we are talking about this. This post that happened nowadays. Healthy. So we are talking about this post that happened. Nowadays, healthy...

Kiera Sherrod said this. Nowadays, healthy boundaries seem like insecurity and distrust to some. I'm blessed to have a husband and friends who I trust. My family and friends are most welcome in my home, and they know who they are. But she also says that she has a preference of friends staying in a hotel versus in the home that she shares with her husband. And so do we have that audio?

Yes. No. Yeah, we have it. Okay. I know you said you're really close with your mom and I know she gives you advice. And there's like an ongoing rule. My mom tells me the same thing. I'm not married.

But once you're married, do not let another woman into your household. Absolutely, Tashara. My mama has already, look, don't have too many people around you. Don't get comfortable. I don't care how good you trust or whatever it is. I'm very mindful and very careful. I will buy a friend a hotel room before I let them stay at my house. However, I am a prayerful woman to discern the space that I

am in. So what is the question? And that was a shout out to Tashara from page six, who was asking that question in her interview. Yeah, shout out to Tashara. What's the question? So the question is, how do you feel about letting your best friend stay in the house with your significant other? Do you think that's uncomfortable? Would you feel like your friend has to get a hotel room? Or are you like, I trust everybody. You can all stay in the house together, even if I'm not there. If they're my friend, and I call them friend, I don't have a problem.

I wonder why you would ever be not there. If you have to go to work, that happens to me all the time. I have friends staying with me and I gotta go to work. My boyfriend's in town staying there too. Then what? If they're your friend, I wouldn't have a problem. My friends had spent the night at my house when I had to leave and I didn't have a problem or felt a way.

I actually felt bad for them because I knew my kids were going to jump on them in the morning. But other than that, I'm... Well, let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts on this? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt

the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself.

It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag.

I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.

Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now if you just joined

us we were talking about what Yeezy? We were talking about Kiara's shirt. She was doing an interview with Tashara Jones from page six of the New York Post and she was discussing not having her best friend stay in the house with her husband. Here's what she said. I know you said you're really close

with your mom and I know she gives you advice and there's like an ongoing rule. My mom tells me the same thing. I'm not married, but once you're married, do not let another woman into your household. Absolutely, Tashara. My mama has already, look, don't have too many people around you. Don't get comfortable. I don't care how good you trust or whatever it is. I'm very mindful and very careful. I will buy a friend a hotel room before I let them stay at my house. However, I am a prayerful woman to discern the space that I am in. Now, she's talking about healthy boundaries.

And she said it should not seem like insecurity and distrust. Well, listen, that's our boundary. You know, it's interesting, right? I respect our boundary. I think folks would say if you truly trust listen, that's her boundary. You know, it's interesting, right? I respect her boundary. I think folks would say if you truly trust everyone, it shouldn't matter. But I don't think trust

has anything to do with it. It's just whatever makes you comfortable. Like my wife and, you know, my homegirls, they stay over. Back in the day

when we was all on the grind, I stayed with my homegirls. My homegirls would stay with me so I don't see the issue. But that's Kira's boundary. So, you know, I respect her. I can't... I guess you're healthy. You're rules. Are your life your boundaries? Yeah, because I don't see the issue but that's Kira's boundary so I respect her. I guess you're healthy

with your rules. Are your life your boundaries? Yeah because I don't have a problem. I've had my friends spend the night but I call them friends for a reason. Those are my friends. There's certain people that I know that if they had a problem or they wanted to spend the night maybe they got drunk or maybe we was just late.

Yeah they could spend the night and if I had to leave I'd feel comfortable with them and with my crib. I think it also depends on how big your space is. Because if you have like a studio or a one bedroom, it could be uncomfortable to have too many people and no privacy. And it depends on how well they know each other. If you're not at the house and say, you know, your friend is not like super tight with your man, that might be uncomfortable for both of them to be in. I wouldn't even want to stay in the house, you know, overnight if my friend wasn't there,

if her husband or her man was there. It would make me uncomfortable. Like, I don't, you know. I mean, that's the most important thing, right? Because it's like, the people that come to my house are like my actual friends that I call family. So that means they not just my friend,

they're my wife's friend. They're not just my wife's friend, they're my friend. We've known them for a long time. We trust each other. We probably vacation together. So it's just like, yeah. I'm not leaving.

The person that I don't even really know wouldn't even be at my house anyway. That's my whole thing. My friends come to my house. I don't have to be home and my friends will go to my kids' games. They'll go drop off birthday gifts. They'll come play with the kids. They go shoot hoops with with with my kids like my my friends come over

the house so it's never a problem they spend a night they spend a night like even if it was a one bedroom if it's a studio it didn't matter they're my friends and my like i look at my friends as family and i like that kind of stuff to be honest with you i'd rather you stay with us than get a hotel like nah stay with us i like it i like kicking it late with your peoples, waking up in the morning, eating breakfast. I like that kind of stuff. I'm cool with my friends' husbands, but some of them, I'm not like, you know, don't know them like that, where

I've been staying in their house. I really don't stay at people's houses anyway, but I will say my best friend, her boyfriend, who's now her husband, he used to stay at our house all the time when we were roommates. And so, you know, that's like my family too, but only because he used to stay at our house all the time when we were roommates and so I you know that's like my family too but only because he used to stay at our house all the time so I know him so well I'll be going to the kitchen he'd be in the kitchen we had one bathroom so we had to share the

bathroom so sometimes you know that could be a little awkward but he's definitely like family but everybody I don't feel like that with now my friend is Gia's friend and Gia's friend is my friend we all friends so I don't have no problem with it. Everybody's boundaries are different. I respect everybody's boundaries. All right, let's go to the phone line. Brian, good morning. What's up, y'all?

How y'all doing? How you doing, brother? What's up, Brian? How you doing? I'm all right. Don't do it like that, y'all, man. What?

That's how you sounded at first. You said you're not letting no friends stand around to stand around? Y'all call me y'all God. You call me y'all God. So you're not letting no friends stand around to stand around? Y'all call me y'all God. Y'all call me y'all God. You call me y'all God. So you're not letting no friends stand around your man? Hey, man.

Hey. You're telling me I'm from South Carolina, too? That's their accent breaking through. Okay. Don't blame that on your milk and cookies. But, okay, what'd you say now? You said you're not letting no friends stand around your man? Check this out.

My father, see, I'll trip. Y'all trip. But, see, I don't want nobody around my woman because the world's so scandalous right now. You feel me? Everybody lives like, you got grown men our age just trying to be NBA young boys. These women, they want to be like the women that you see on

Housewives, Real Housewives and stuff like that. You know what I mean? So why do I put myself in that position when I know that everybody's mind is messed up on the media. And, like, wicked is what's popping right now. Everybody want to be the devil. You feel what I'm saying? So I don't really trust people at all.

I know. We seen the movie Soul Food. Even your close circle, though? Like, I mean, because I get what you're saying. Everything you're saying is absolutely right. But people like that that you're describing aren't in my close circle. You seen the cousin on soul food well go ahead what you're saying no i say you've seen the cousin on soul food uh what is it terry's cousin on soul food slept with her husband exactly but they never liked terry though they all they always already side-eyed terry like we act like

Yeah, I was calling in reference to y'all's question of the day. And at first I was thinking that it was a good idea to go ahead and do something like that with the significant other out of the house and a female friend in. And she decided to want to take a shower and caught me slipping.

I took her to town when she asked for it. She came out of the bathroom to get it butt naked and hugged up on me. And I was like, wow. That changed the whole theory about having a significant other's friend in the house. So, no, it's not a good idea at all. Then what happened? I walked out the room. Real talk.

Well, that was different, though. She tried you. You know what I'm saying? She definitely tried. And how close of friends were they prior to this? Since she was a teenager. Did you tell your wife? Years later.

When you say since, how old were y'all when this happened? I was in my 30s. Damn. Yeah. All right, brother. He said, yeah. I don't think that's a good idea at all. Okay.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey. What's up? You hit, didn't you? Come on, tell your Uncle Charlie. You ain't got to tell. You hit, didn't you? That laugh, though.

That laugh. It's always that laugh with you, Angela. Did you tell your girl? He said, yeah. He said, yeah. Okay. Thank you, brother. I don't your girl? He said yeah. He said two years later. Two years later. Thank you, brother. I don't believe him. He hit that.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, what are we talking about, Yeezy?

We are talking about Kiara Shirts. She did an interview with Tashara Jones from page six from the New York Post. And she was talking about her preference of friends staying in a hotel versus staying in her home that she shares with her husband. Here's what she said. I know you say you're really close with your mom and I know she gives you advice. And there's like an ongoing rule. My mom tells me the same thing. I'm not married. But once you're married,

do not let another woman into your household. Absolutely, Tashara. My mama has already, look, don't have too many people around you. Don't get comfortable. I don't care how, you know, good you trust or whatever it is. I'm very mindful and very careful. I will buy a friend a hotel room before I let them stay at my house. However, I am a prayerful woman to discern the space that I am in. Everybody's boundaries are different. I'm not mad at her for that. You know what I mean?

Like, you got to set your own boundaries to find your own peace. That's the name of Nedra Tawwab's book, right? Set Boundaries, Find Peace. So if that's the way she finds peace and that's the boundary she wants to set, I have no problem with that. All right, well, let's go to the phone lines.

Hello, who's this? Morning, Nedra. It's Chris. What's going on? Chris, what's going on, man? What's your opinion, brother? Not much. You absolutely not, cannot have someone,

you have to set boundaries, proper boundaries. You can't have people up in your space. It depends on who it is. I was talking to a girl one time And it was cool She had a friend But I had a bad feeling about her And I'm telling her

This is not your friend You know, the friend would say That she saw me somewhere with someone Here's my blood Here's the money I've never seen this person before But anyway, she came over And she slept over

It was cool You feel me? Nothing happened No weird business I seen the way she looked at me Anyways, me and the girl broke up four or five months later. I was with her friend. Wow. So,

you can't, you gotta have people respect your boundaries. And I told her, I said, this person's your friend. This person's your friend. This other person, they say they're your friend, but they're not your friend. There's the guy who smashed his girl's friend. I know. And this is your man, but he don't really care. I was pretty. I had to prove a point.

I didn't even like to prove a point. Come on. Goodbye. Hello, who's this? This is George. What's up, Envy? George, what's up? Talk to us.

What's your thoughts, brother? No, I ain't doing that, man. I can't trust that action, man. Even though I would trust my wife, but, nah, things happen. I can't do that. Why would I not be there anyway? Yeah, that's the only other part. I mean, Angela, you had a good example, but, yeah, I don't see why you would i not be there anyway yeah that's the only other part i mean angela you had a good example but yeah i don't see why you would really not be there yeah that's my job to

be there like i can't but what if you have to go to work yeah what if you got to go to work or you got to run out of town or you got to do something well get up we got to go too you got to go we got to go i'm leaving at six o'clock i'm leaving he got to go all right i'm leaving at five in the morning let's go nah i don't bother basically he got to go. All right. I'm leaving at 5 in the morning. Let's go. Nah, I don't bother. Basically, he got to go. I ain't having that, man. Nah, because my friends come in town. They spend the night at the crib.

And they might have a couple days, something to do in New York or New Jersey. I let them stay. I ain't making them come to work with me. I don't have a lot of homeboys anyway. So for me, it's always a house full of women regardless. So it's a little different, I think. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Chantel. Hey, Chantel. Good morning. Good morning. always a house full of women regardless so it's a little different i think hello who's this hey chantelle good morning good morning what's your thoughts i got through um my thoughts is i'm agreeing with you today andy i think it would just be ain't gonna anybody stand at my house

unless i really call them my friend that's right right. Yep. And I will be a little offended if my friend wouldn't let me stay. Like, I go to Dallas and I stay with my friend, but if she was to get married, I would be a little offended if I couldn't stay at her house no more. Oh, come on. But, I mean, that's her house,

and so sometimes, you know, you got to respect that. I get what you're saying, Angela, but, I mean, it would be the same to our policy for me. If she was to come to Detroit and visit me, of course she can stay here. I'm with you. I'm married as well. So it's like, I don't know.

I just think if something was to be done, it was supposed to be revealed to me in the first place. That's right. But I will say this, though. With myself, I have friends in different cities, and even though they invite me to their crib, I always stay at a hotel. I never stayed at anybody's house. Yeah, I just feel comfortable staying at a hotel. But when they come here, they can stay all day long.

Back in the day, I used to stay at Debbie Debs' house all the time out in L.A. because I ain't have no money. Oh, you know what? So I ain't going to sit here and tell that lie like that. It's crazy. Somebody was just telling me a situation where she went to go stay at her homegirl's house, but her homegirl had her man over and she said she was just uncomfortable

being there while she had her man there. And that's like her home girl, but she was like, I don't want to stay there no more when her man is there. I didn't feel comfortable. Yeah, I mean, that would definitely be weird if it's just all the time. Like you said, if I just went to work real quick, then yeah, but if I went to

work the whole weekend and you just barely in the house with him, then yeah, it would be a little awkward. Okay. Especially if he not at work. Plus, I got real friends. I got real friends that I've known for a long time and I know my kids. You know what I'm saying? Like, we really came up together in a real way.

So, it's just different. Yeah, it depends on the circumstance. Same thing with my wife's friends. Like, these are people that she went to college with. You know what I mean? So it's like I've known these people my whole life damn near. At least half my life. And also it depends on space. Sometimes you want people to have space with their significant other. You're not

all up in the house. And you know, what if it's small? And then you all in their space and they might want to have some time together and you're just there. We done did both. I done did it when it was two bedroom apartments and then did it when we have some time together and you just there we didn't did both i didn't did it when it was two bedroom apartments and then did it when we got houses so it's just i don't know i just think it depends on the person all right well what's the moral of the story moral of the story is respect everybody's boundaries you know i mean set boundaries

find peace like dr major you know to wab says like literally your boundary what brings you peace is the boundary you need to set period all right now we got rumors on the way oh yes well let's talk about joe rogan he has apologized for repeatedly using the n-word on his show all right we'll get into that next it's the breakfast club good morning hey morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club good morning happy monday we know uh the two-day weekend isn't long enough for you. We know how you feel this morning. You up. Barely. Okay? You still need

to stretch a little bit. There's things cracking this morning. You hear your knees, your elbows, your back maybe. But take a deep breath for everybody who can't this morning. Okay? Alright. Alright. Well, we got rumors on the way. What are we talking about? We'll talk about Joe Rogan and who can't this morning. Okay? All right. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way.

What are we talking about? We'll talk about Joe Rogan and the controversy surrounding him. A lot happened over the weekend, so we'll fill you in. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. Listen up. Well, Joe Rogan is now apologizing Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club. Well, Joe Rogan is now apologizing for his repeated use of the N-word on his Joe Rogan Experience show during several different episodes. Now, he did say that it looks horrible even to him.

It's a video of clips taken out of context, he says, of him of 12 years of conversations on his podcast, it's all smushed together. And he said that most people believe there's no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, nevermind publicly on a podcast. And he says he does agree with that now. Here is what else he had to say. I was also talking about how there's not another word like it in the entire English language, because it's a word where only one group of people is allowed to use it and they can use it in so many different ways. Like if a white person says that word, it's racist and toxic, but a black person can use it and it could be a punchline. It could be a term of endearment. It could be lyrics to a rap song. It could be a positive affirmation it's a very unusual word but it's not my word to use i never use it to be racist because i'm not racist all right i mean and i agree he should not be using that word

at all yeah it's just another example of why white people should never use the n-word i know it's in songs and black people use it as a term of endearment blah blah blah whatever reason folks use to justify it but just don't like just don't use the word now another clip that he addressed was a video where he's uh calling a black neighborhood planet of the apes he said it was around the time that he watched that film and he said it was in an effort to make his story entertaining here's what he said there's a clip from 11 years ago. I was telling a story in the podcast about how me and my friend Tommy and his girlfriend, we got really high. We were in Philadelphia and we went to go see Planet of the Apes and we got dropped off in this all black neighborhood. And I was trying to make the story entertaining. And I said, we got out and it was like we were in Africa. It's like we were in Planet of the Apes.

I did not, nor would I ever say that black people are apes. And I immediately afterwards said, that's a racist thing to say. I was just saying there's a lot of black people there. But then I went on to talk about what a positive experience it was and how much fun it was to go to see this movie in a black neighborhood all right so for context here is the actual audio of the planet of the apes conversation in the black neighborhood he takes us there we get out and we're giggling we're gonna see plenty of we walk into planet of the apes we walked into africa dude we we walked in the door and there was no white people there was no white people we plan the if didn't take place in Africa I was a

racist thing you see what I'm saying everybody was super cool you know people always complain that black people talk to the movie theater and talk to screen yes they do yes they do but it's good yeah if what you know and like so way I felt like I'm like look I'm in their neighborhood this is. It adds to the experience. Yeah, if that's what you know, and it's the way I felt like, I'm like, look, I'm in their neighborhood. This is how they go to the movies. Who the fuck am I to be offended by how they like to go to the movies?

I think he was saying that he walked into Planet of the Apes. I think that was the thing, right? Well, I think they were saying that it was like he was in Planet of the Apes when he got dropped off in a black neighborhood. Then he acknowledged that what he said was racist. i mean listen if you've been in this business long enough as a broadcaster you said something stupid you said something that would be deemed problematic at some point but when those things come back up what can you do you gotta apologize

and take accountability for those things now spotify is still standing by joe rogan daniel echo is the ceo addressed those comments. He said they were incredibly hurtful and inconsistent with company values, but he did not believe that silencing the podcaster was the answer. And so Joe Rogan has also vowed to do better when discussing matters related to the pandemic, because this is how this all started, too, by the way, because of him being irresponsible when it comes to dealing with COVID. And there was also that video compilation that NDR reposted of him using the N-word that was widely shared on social media that he even said sounded awful and horrible. So they did remove a number of episodes from Spotify.

More than 100 episodes has been scrubbed from the podcaster's library. And so there's a website that tracks the show that shows that. Like I always say, you can't tell folks what to be mad mad at like just because your intent wasn't malicious or your intent wasn't to offend we can't tell folks how to react to the words that come out of your mouth so you just got to deal with whatever comes your way when you say what you want but i do want to know what do folks want to happen like when these old soundbites come out right you know he apologized for them what do you want to happen because this isn't this isn't the first time and won't be the last time we hear a white person using the

N-word in context, out of context, quoting rappers, quoting comedians, whatever it is. So what do you want to happen next? With just Joe Rogan or in general? Joe Rogan or just in general? Because this can happen to anybody at any given time if you've been in this business long enough. Broadcaster, rapper,

comedian. Like you said, you can't control how people react so you work for a private company, they're going to make the decision ultimately on what they decide to do.

So they pulled some of the episodes but they're still standing by him. As they should because they knew all of this was before he even did the deal

so they knew that. And then people have a right to be offended. I'm going to be honest, I've never listened to an episode of Joe Rogan ever. I have. I listen to Joe Rogan all the offended. I'm going to be honest. I've never listened to an episode of Joe Rogan ever. I have.

I listen to Joe Rogan all the time. I haven't. So it's hard for me to say an opinion on somebody who I've never. Yeah. And that's the other side. I don't listen to too many. I've listened a couple of times. But also, I don't know.

You know what I mean? And the people that seem like they know him say he's not a racist, that he's a good dude. So, I mean, what do you stand by? I don't know him personally. I met him twice. You know what I mean? But I don't think he's racist. don't know him personally. I met him twice, you know what I mean? But I don't think he's racist.

I've done his show. I met him at my man Andrew Schultz's wedding. I don't think he's a racist. All right. Well, some people did get backlash for saying just that. Now, Andrew Yang wrote, I don't think Joe Rogan is a racist. The man interacts with and works with black people literally all of the time. Do I know black friends of Joe's who would swear by him?

Jesus Christ. I got a black friend. I mean, so we can't say I don't know if somebody's racist or not. I just have no idea what goes on. But can you say racist things and not be racist? But I do think it's wild that if you look at, like Joe Rogan, and you say, okay, well, they just scrubbed his

old episodes. Some of them. There's a lot of episodes. Then you look at somebody like Whoopi Goldberg, who gets suspended for two weeks. Hold on. You said something that's very important. Can you say racist things and not be racist?

Depending, right? Because you can say a slur, right? You can say a gay slur and not be homophobic, be homo-ignorant. Correct. Because a lot of times when we used to use

that gay slur back in the day, it wasn't in reference to somebody's sexuality, right? That's true. That's facts. So, yeah. Sometimes these slurs come out of your mouth and it don't mean that you're that thing. But let me ask you a question.

But Joe Rogan knew he couldn't use that word because he even said it's a unique word because one group of people can use it and another cannot. But then he was using it. Yeah, but he was using it anyway because I think that's why he said he had been discussing it. What about, I mean, I'm just throwing things out there because I'm just using examples. We've seen things in entertainment. We've seen Vince McMahon use it on WWE in a sketch. We've seen Larry David do it on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Howard Stern was wild. That's a whole other thing. But yes, so what's the logic there? I'm just trying to figure out how somebody could use a gay slur, nothing happened to them, and then Whoopi could say something out of context and say something wrong, get corrected, and get suspended. She didn't say a slur. To Yee's point, what did you say about the company? Yeah, people have a decision.

That's right. And you work for a private company, and they pay you, and they can make whatever decision they want to make based on their own analogy. And that's why I say free speech is not free. There's a price to everything that comes out of your mouth, and you can't name that price. All right, well, that is your rumor report. I'm sure we'll discuss more.

Who are you giving your donkey to, man? Four after the hour is a person that could not name the price of mayonnaise. All right? You never know what mayonnaise can cost you. I've been trying to tell y'all about mayonnaise for years on this damn radio. We'll talk about it for after the hour. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

New York. And iHeart Radio Station. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the devil. You see, donkey, donkey. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. It's time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty fun. Charlamagne the devil?

Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yes, donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yes. Donkey of the Day for Monday, February 7th goes to an Iowa man named Christopher Erlbacher. He's 29 years old of Woodbine, Iowa, and he was sentenced on Monday to a mandatory life sentence

two months after he was convicted of first-degree murder. Now, what saddens me about this situation is this is yet another example of young boys not being able to settle their differences the old-degree murder. Now, what saddens me about this situation is this is yet another example of young boys not being able to settle their differences the old-fashioned way with their fists. Folks used to could just fight. Remember when folks could just fight and keep it moving?

But that male ego is so fragile that some people just can't take that L when they lose their fist fight. By the way, I'm sitting here talking about the old-fashioned way. The old-fashioned way stopped being the old-fashioned way in, like, the 90s. All right? Folks was running to grab guns when I was in high school. 2000s.

You still fought in the 90s. 2000s was when they started having hammers. Yeah. Really? I got my last fight in about 2000. I ain't talking about you. I'm talking about people. All right?

You are not a person. I'm not a person. Jesus Christ. I'll be a person. All right? I think around the 90s is when the gun violence really started, at least for my age. You are not a person. I'm not a person. Jesus Christ. I'll be a person. I think around the 90s is when the gun violence really started, at least for my age. You know what I mean?

So, you know, whatever. But Christopher and his friend Khalid were out eating and drinking, and Christopher overstepped his friend Khalid's boundaries. We've been talking a lot about boundaries. I told you all, 2022 is the year of the boundaries, okay? He, Christopher, overstepped his friend Khalid's boundaries by playing with his food. I don't like nobody playing with my food, okay? I had to tell my three-year-old daughter that yesterday. You don't walk up to people and just put your hand in their plate, all right? We don't practice.

You don't do that, man, even at three. You go to deep holes, you put your finger in their food? Yeah, it came over me like Pac-Man, doing her mouth, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, and then, like, putting her hand in my mouth, Yeah, it came over me like Pac-Man, doing her mouth, ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, and then, like, putting her hand, like, yo, baby. All right? And it's 10 years, 3 years old, but we don't practice bad habits. That is a bad habit that can carry into adulthood. Okay?

You know how you got them adults right now that can see you eating, and they'll just reach for your plate? That's because nobody told them to stop doing that as a child when they were pretending to be Pac-Man. Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma, standing over your plate. Okay? And that's what happened between Christopher and Khalid. Would you like to know the details? doing that as a child when they were pretending to be Pac-Man. Man, man, man, man, man, man, man. Standing over your plate, okay? And that's what happened between Christopher and Khalid. Would you like to know the details? Let's go to News 4 KTIV for the report, please.

28-year-old Christopher Erlbacher of Woodbine is charged with first-degree murder in the December 17, 2020 death of Caleb Solberg in Pisgah, Iowa. The incident centers around a physical altercation involving four people at the Old Home Cafe in Pisgah. Erlb incident centers around a physical altercation involving four people at the Old Home Cafe in Pisgah. Ehrlbacher and a friend, Sean Johnson, were feuding with two other

men, Caleb Solberg and Craig Pryor. During the dispute, Ehrlbacher allegedly struck Pryor's vehicle and ran over Solberg several times, which authorities say caused fatal injuries to Solberg. Additionally, authorities say Ehrlbacher continued to drive by the body of Solberg, which hindered anyone from providing aid. Erlbacher eventually fled the scene and contacted his father for help. His father, though, took him back to the cafe where he was taken into custody. And what the news report doesn't tell you is that the two friends were eating and drinking at a bar when Christopher decided to put mayonnaise on soberg's food okay and soberg was not happy with the

mayonnaise being added so he reacted by punching erlbacher okay that damn mayonnaise young charlotte has been warning you about mayonnaise for years on this damn radio okay dukes heinz helmans craft all of it is the devil all right it is satan spread and too much of it ruins any and everything okay too much mayonnaise and potato salad makes it not edible too much mayonnaise and tuna makes it not edible that's why i refer to some white folks as human jars of helmans that's not racist it's science all right too much of it just makes people sick you have to have just enough just enough with all the other ingredients makes the perfect dish, the perfect society. OK, this man Khalid would be alive today if Christopher hadn't forced mayonnaise on his food,

if he hadn't violated his boundaries by trying to put mayonnaise on his friend's food. Now, what makes the situation so bad is Christopher was the aggressor from the beginning. Christopher attempted to force the mayonnaise on his food. Now, what makes the situation so bad is Christopher was the aggressor from the beginning. Christopher attempted to force the mayonnaise on his food. He violated his friend's boundaries. His man punched him and instead of realizing, you know what, I was wrong, let me leave it alone. He let his, what I assume would be liquor-fueled ego

call you the killer man with your whip over Miracle Whip. Some donkey of the days just saw themselves. Please give Christopher Erlbacher the biggest see-haw. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day,

sir. Now, when we come back, Kimberly Jones will be joining us. Oh, my God. Kimberly Jones is just pure, pure energy. We're not talking about

the rapper either, by the way. No, not Lil' Kim. Kimberly Jones, activist, author. She has a book, How We Can Win, and we're going to talk to her next. So don't move. 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. Yes, indeed. Activist, author Kimberly Jones. Welcome. Thank you guys so much for having building. Yes, indeed. Activist, author, Kimberly Jones. Welcome.

Thank you guys so much for having me. I was just saying behind the scenes, security downstairs when we walked in this morning, it was like, yo, you know, Lil' Kim's coming.

I'm like, not that Kimberly. Yes, Kimberly Jones will be joining us this morning. Do you get that? You ever get that? I get that all the time. Really?

All the time. That's why I use my middle name because it's like, if you just put in Kimberly Jones, all you get in is the queen. That's right. That's right. That's it. How are you feeling feeling this morning my grandma used to say

every day above ground is a good day that's right that's right I agree with that that's how I know you from down south yeah but I've lived in Atlanta now longer than I lived in Chicago so I feel like you know I'm an ATLian now yeah I'm glad'm glad you're here. You know, the book, How We Can Win, that book delves into the impact of systemic racism and lays out strategies for overcoming it. And I'm glad you're here this morning because I was looking at the Brian Flores situation on CNN this morning, and it just bothers me

because I hate seeing black people fight to be in spaces that we're only tolerated in. Yeah, I don't want to be in any space where I'm tolerated. You know, besides being an author and activist, I'm also a filmmaker. And so the question that I always get from people is like, oh, do you want an Oscar? You want an Emmy or a Golden Globe?

And I'm like, no, I want an NAACP Image Award. When I got nominated for the Image Award for my book, it was like I cried. I rolled on the floor. Because I want to be in spaces where I i like because i want to be in spaces where i'm celebrated i want to be in spaces where when i show up the gratitude for my presence is obvious by the way that i'm handled and treated i don't want to be anywhere i i'm tired of begging for attention when we so fly like black people so cold-blooded fly like we have been winning

and the playing field has not been leveled. It's been so unleveled. It's been damn near vertical. And so we we should be celebrated for that. Can you imagine having to come through what we've had to come through and still still being the greatest influence, not on this nation, but on the world? Why do you think, you know, we need we need separation or integration to properly overcome systemic racism? I think that there's always a dual narrative that's happening, and I think that's the difficulty we're having is addressing the dual narrative. I think there are some things that are owed to us through an integrated system, but I also think that there is some internal work that we have to do through a more segregated system. Because at the end of the day, I want us to be insular and run our communities and circulate the black dollar amongst our communities.

However, I'm still aware that living in this nation, we're still going to be governed by these laws. So we cannot ignore them. And the laws are still the same laws that have been on the books since the black codes, many of them. So we're still being affected by it. So unfortunately, we have to work affected by it. So unfortunately, we have to work in both spaces.

Let's talk about that. What can we do as a community? When we talk about unity and grouperation amongst each other, what can we do? Us, to overcome systemic racism. Here's the first thing that I would say, is that we have to recognize, like, we learned through Reaganomics that the trickle-down effect does not

work. Waiting on things to come from the top to hit the bottom is not something going to work. So we have to recognize like we learned through Reaganomics that the trickle down effect does not work. That's right. Waiting on things to come from the top to hit the bottom is not something going to work. So we have to start at the root and work our way out. So I tell people all the time, they're like, how are you going to change the world? I'm like, I'm not. I'm going to change the Cab County. I'm going to I'm going to change my county. And then hopefully by changing my county, I can give a blueprint to the next person to change their county. Like I look at things like this. I really want us to get more savvy at civics. And I don't need everybody to get savvy at civics, but I need 20 strong people in each city to get savvy at civics. So we have like in Atlanta, we have MPUs, which are like the neighborhood groups.

Well, people don't realize that those groups are the groups that are communicating with city council, with commissioners, with everybody about what's happening in that neighborhood. Well, those those MPU groups get infiltrated by developers. So developers move into the neighborhood. Not only do they join the MPU, but they become the president of the MPU, which means then their strategy is all centered around how they're going to develop in that neighborhood. So you can touch your city council. You can touch your commissioner. So we should be going to council and saying, hey, we want to make a rule about these NPUs that if you are developing in that

community, you cannot be the president of the board. I completely agree with that because we can't just vote. First of all, and we've been talking about this, people not wanting to vote and feeling discouraged. But also when you vote, you can vote, like you said, lobbying and not just voting, but also coming together and making these demands and making sure that your not wanting to vote and feeling discouraged. But also when you vote, you can vote, like you said, lobbying. Yeah. And not just voting, but also coming together and making these demands

and making sure that your voices are heard and being present. Being super present in that your local election is where you actually have the power. I watched seven teenage girls from a college campus in Georgia change a rape law with no money, just grassroots lobbying. If you stand on the corner of Moreland and Memorial in Atlanta, if you stand on one side of that street, you're in Fulton County where marijuana is decriminalized. You're going to get a $50 citation. If you walk five steps across the street, you're in the cab and you're going to jail.

That's how much your local elections matter. And you can put your hands, not literally put your hands, but you can put your hands on your city council and talk to them about getting resolutions. Right now, we're working on a Rayshard Brooks bill that we're trying to get passed. This is where you can actually get work done is at the local election. And this is where we show up the least. And we're all worried about the federal election where you do not have the lobbying dollars to impact that and i'm gonna tell you one thing how we have to get savvy is for example these these really bad um voting bills that have passed right and we're we're we're talking again begging the federal government to pass the law let me tell you what conservatives did they had one person write a bill and then they took it to their state rep and they got somebody to sponsor that bill and get it passed. And then their cronies in another state took that same bill, adjusted it for that state's constitution and got it passed there.

When you're looking at these anti-woke bills that are going to stop people from teaching CRT, which for the record, CRT is not taught in schools, but that's another conversation. They are doing it state by state. And we're still looking at federal votes when it's like, no, you need to have, we need to have combative bills and resolutions at the state level that are combating these bills. It's like you're punching up, you're punching up an air that you're not going to hit when all your power and control is right around you. I'm glad you said that because, you know, last summer it was 19 states that passed 36, you know, voter suppression bills. And I was like, why wasn't that being combated in each of those states? Exactly. And we were fighting it in Georgia.

And that's why we're now fighting it in court in Georgia, because we understood both of those bills. HB 531. I stood out in front of the courthouse protesting that bill in the rain and sun for 30 days. HB 531 and SB 202, now we realize that there's unconstitutional pieces in it probably because it was rewritten from another state and there was some constitutional misses because every state

has its own constitution. So now we realize we can fight it in court, which is what we're doing. I would encourage everybody get savvy about your state. Get savvy about your county because that's where your power lies. Can we go a little bit deeper on that? Because even now, when you see President Biden

get out there and speak out against voter suppression, that's still a federal, he's speaking from a federal level. He really can't impact what happens in those states. That's why people think it's a PR move. Exactly. He can't impact what happens in those states so that's why people think it's a pr move exactly it's like he can't impact what happened those states but we can see that's the trick man that was the coldest trick that was ever played was to convince us that we didn't have power if you convince people to be hopeless and that they are

powerless then they will sit in that hopelessness and that powerless and they will do nothing but if we engage the people and teach them how to be powerful in their state and the other thing is, I'm looking at these younger kids, you gotta meet people where they are, right? So it's like you can't get upset because young people don't care about voting and then be like, oh, they don't get it, they don't care.

I'm gonna tell you what young people do care about, get into the bag. So if I break it down to you, how you can get government contracts and how this city council person has been in this seat for 30 years and all the contracts are going to their same friends. And if we run this young, exciting,

uh, you know, person against them and get them in the seat. And now you have this relationship and I can show you how I can grow your business through government contracts. Your ears don't perk up. All right. We got more with Kimberly Jones.

When we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with kimberly jones activist and author of how we can win yee now another thing you talk about in the book is defund the police and you talk about your own experience with police brutality which by the way the way, was hard for me to read. So I can't even imagine what it was like for you to have to experience something like that. So do you think or what do you think? Let people know could happen for the police to actually work better in our country because it hasn't.

Well, I mean, policing is the grandchild of slave catching. And so the tenets of it has never changed since then. And even when you look around things as simply like to me george zimmerman is a great example of that and the reason that i say that is because when slave catching started it basically deputized any white person to stop any black person at any given time and be like what you're doing we were still being stopped by random folks with no authority asking them what you're doing and so what you look at in the 60s and 70s was there was actually a transition and a change even in the uniform of the police officer that became more militarized.

And so now what we really have is a military, a local military, as opposed to an actual policing system. And also you are having police calls being made for things that don't are not connected to criminality. That's right. Like mental health issues. Yeah. Mental health issues,

child truancy, things that don't require a person with a gun and a badge to do it. Also, even when you look at the recruiting videos for police, it's not the nice friendly police officer of the 1950s getting the cat out of the tree. It's somebody jumping over a car thinking they want to be Rambo. Like, join the police forces.

You know, live your best life. It's like, really? Is that what we're doing? We're trying to have a militarized system against the people. Policing is supposed to be about public safety. We have neglected public safety and really created an attack on the people. Can you break down what defund the police

is? Some people really twist that phrase. Yeah, language. I guess that's why I'm a writer. I'm just like, language is such a delicious little morsel that can also be a very, very awful little demon because what it does is it allows people to live in a lie. Because

defund the police is not about, oh, we need public safety we don't need any police we can police ourselves what it's saying is that we need the reallocations of funds to things that actually make sense for example it takes you longer to get a cosmetology license than it does to become a police officer what kind of training is that i i am better equipped to handle chemicals and get somebody's do right than I am to actually walk around with a gun and have the authority to actually kill, potentially kill someone. So we don't have proper training for the police. We are not having consistent mental health checks for our police officers and they are handling things that they should not be handling so we need to remove things like child truancy mental health issues even some domestic issues from them and insert psychologists and people like that who can work under the banner of the police but those funds will be reallocated to that group the fun is the fun the police is not about let's

get rid of public safety it's about let's actually rethink the way and reimagine the way in which policing interacts with the people and i think we should also do things like in order for you to police a community you need to live in it because if i look at a teenage envy and i live up the street from him and i know that him climbing over the back fence is just him being a knucklehead I'm gonna handle him completely differently in that moment if I just see a child that I don't know and I have this preconceived notion of black kids being pitbulls yeah you see Envy like that's that little Dominican boy Envy yeah he don't mean no problem

yeah he don't mean no harm he just get up and then you And then you can just holler, get off of there. I feel like they should have to do community service too, like in the community that they're in. So every time you have an interaction, it's not because something happened, it's something aggressive. It can be a community service effort

where you're there with people and you're doing something positive. And if you harm the community, you should lose your pension. Because at the end of the day, if I fire you, but the same community that you're brutalized

is going to have to pay you for life, that's some bull. That's crazy. You're Young Dolph's cousin. Yeah. How close cousins? So here's the crazy thing

about how me and Dolph found out we were cousins. So I have a movie that I produced that's on Tubi called Products of the American Ghetto and Dolph was on the soundtrack with Ugly Money Nietzsche. He was P. Nice then. And so I was producing

the music video for that. And so as we were producing the video me and Dolph standing outside smoking and gets to talking and he said, he asked me where I was from. And I said I was from Chicago. And he said he asked me where i was from and i said i was from chicago and he said i'm from chicago i said no you're not you're from memphis and he was like yeah but i was born in chicago um you know i have all this family in chicago so me and him gets to talking and going

back and forth and we started making a connection and realizing like oh no all jokes aside we might like actually be cousins and he was like yeah so he calls the people in his family i call some people my family and we're like distant cousins i think we're like you know like fourth down the line or whatever but we realized that we were cousins and the funny thing about it is like we didn't we didn't stay in a whole lot of touch but whenever we see each other it would be love what up cousin but i'm actually like had more relationship with um with his life partner mia and the crazy thing is I know Mia from the front lines. Mia is an activist. People

don't realize like black men deserve to grow old. She started that a year before Dolph was killed because of the death of her brother. All this time I knew Mia. I never made the connection. She was Dolph's girlfriend. Wow. So then when Dolph passed she had reached out to me back in July

and was like Kim I really need you on Black Men Deserve to Grow Old. And my mother had just passed. So I was like, oh, Mia, right now, sis, thank you. But yeah, so I was like, you know, sis, right now I'm taking a break because I just I just I lost my brother a few months before that. And then I lost my mom just a few months after losing my older brother. And so when Dolph passed, that's when I made the connection that that was his Mia. Wow.

And I was just like, oh my God. So this past Saturday, me and my dear friend Char Bates, we started a project called the Melanated Mural Project. And we are doing them once a month where we're doing old school block parties, DJs, we had DJ Greg Street out there,

DJs, food trucks, life-size games. We did this last one at the skate park, so kids came out and skated the park, and we unveiled our first mural, which was Dolph's mural, and we had several city council people come out and do proclamations to make it Young

Dolph Day, and Mia was there, and she gave a beautiful speech, and we're going to do that every month. Actually, our next one coming up is for a young kid leading who was a 12 year old sweet boy who was killed by state troopers. But we are going to honor slain black men every month through the Melanated Art Project. Kimberly, tell me to find you, Kim. Follow me on fan base. I'm on fan base as Kimberly Latrice Jones you can follow me on them other social apps

it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Salute to everybody that saw Euphoria last night. I don't want to spoil it but we're not acknowledging how much Spider-Man has taught Rue. Okay? Rue looked like your how much Spider-Man has taught Rue. Okay? Rue looked like your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man last night. Pass it to him, man.

That's my Valentine's Day gift to you, brother. It came a little early. I just want you to have that. Take it. I don't even want to know. Take it. Look. Somebody sent something for you?

No, you got that. And speaking of Euphoria, while you guys play around with each other, Euphoria has been renewed for another season. Take that. Euphoria is phenomenal. Literally last night, Rue looked like Spider-Man scaling through the neighborhood.

Only thing she didn't have was webs. You're not going to take my gift? What is it? Let me hold it. Let me see this. Yeah, take it. Look what you got me.

For Valentine's Day already, you couldn't hold it? What does that say? Auto blow? Auto blow. What does it say? It's for oral sex. It's the best.

Okay. Thank you, Envy. Appreciate you. Uses artificial intelligence to give the perfect oral. It's the thought that counts. I think that, you know, black men who don't cheat, these are good gifts to be sharing with each other. You know what I'm saying?

Gotcha, bro. That's right. Thank you, King. I appreciate that. Use it in good health. That's right. What do you mean, use it in good health? I don't know.

That's what people say when they use it in good health. What does this mean? All right. Now, let's get to the room. That could take your place. So I need the oculins? I need the octagons? Oculus.

What's it called? Oculus. I need this for this? No. But you can. No, that's cheating. But it has different, like it has full stroke, intense, fast, teasing, slow. This is a family show.

You know what? Get in the blow, auto blow. Get in the blow, auto blow. All right, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kanye West. Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report.

With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Kanye is not happy that his daughter North is on TikTok. And he's saying all kinds of things. He says, since this is my first divorce, I need to know what I should do about my daughter being put on TikTok against my will. Now, Kim Kardashian got a little fed up and she posted, Kanye's constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create. As the person who is the main provider and caregiver

for our children, I'm doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision because it brings her happiness. Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye's obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively

and publicly is only causing further pain for all. She did say she wishes to handle all matters regarding our children privately. Now Kanye responded, What do you mean by main provider? America, so you try to kidnap my daughter on her birthday by not providing the address. You put security on me inside of the house to play with my son

then accuse me of stealing. I had to take a drug test after Chicago's party because you accused me of being on drugs. Tracy Romulus stopped manipulating Kim to be this way. Then he posted the rules for TikTok. And to let people know, you know, to sign up for TikTok, you must first pass through an age gate to get you into the right TikTok experience. In the U.S., if you're under 13 years old, you'll be placed into our TikTok for younger users experience, which has additional privacy and safety precautions. Then he posted, I want to bring my kids to my hometown of Chicago to see my basketball team play for 7000 people. And Kim is stopping that. How is that joint custody?

And he said he also posted there's a lot going on here, guys. I see. He also posted a conversation that he had, a text message conversation with one of Kim's cousins. Where, you know, she said, hi, how are you? Hope all is well with you and the kids. I saw your post on Instagram about TikTok and your daughter. I'm happy to share what I know about that. Since I'm a single mom and want to keep my kids off the internet, call me or let me know if you want some information. Hope to see you all soon. And then she also said, is it safe to buy Yeezys on StockX?

Andrew wants Belugas. I like it. That was multitasking. She slid that in. I think she wanted to ask him about that. And she had every plan to ask him about that on that day. But then all this other stuff got in the way of it. But look.

She's like, let me reach out. My man needs it. My son needs it. I need the Belugas. I'm going to do whatever I gotta do. Now, Kanye posted this and said, this is an example of Kim's cousin agreeing with me about TikTok,

then proceeded to ask me for some Yeezys afterwards. And she asked Slick, too. I'm gonna tell you how she asked Slick, because she said, is it safe to buy them on StockX? Because she want him to say, no, don't buy them on StockX.

I'll send them to you. I got you. Niggas. And then he also goes on to say, yesterday Kim accused me of putting a hit out on her, so let me get this straight. I begged to go to my daughter's party, and I'm accused of being on drugs.

Then I go play with my son, and I take my choreographic novels, and I'm accused of stealing. Now I'm being accused of putting a hit on her. These ideas can actually get someone locked up. They play like that with black men's lives, whether it's getting them free or getting them locked up. I'm not playing about my black children anymore.

Okay. And then he also posted him asking Larry Jackson for Kim's number. He said, send me Kim's number. And then Larry Jackson responded, here you go. And he sent the contact through. The only thing I don't like about Kanye is he's black when he's down. But when he's up, slavery was a choice. You know what I mean?

Whenever there's some type of struggle or something's not going his way, that's when he becomes a black man. But when he's up, you know, slavery was a choice, and Harriet Tubman didn't free the slaves. And we need to move past race. Now, next up, he also did scrub some of his posts about Kim and the kids, and then you can see there's video circulating that shows all four of his children hanging out with him at some sort of church service in LA.

And so apparently he did get a chance to see them. And he does still have his girlfriend, Julia Fox, who does have her Forbidden Fruits podcast. And so there was also news saying that Julia Fox used to date Drake and she explains what happened on her newest episode of her podcast. About Julia and Drake.

Uh-huh. And I think Julia has some words for us. Yeah. He's a great guy and a gentleman and that was it. Nothing really happened. We were just like friends hanging out. Now she also...

Just like friends. Yeah, you can't say nothing about being black when you're dating somebody that goes, yeah. Yeah, just like friends. Yeah, you can't say nothing about being black when you're dating somebody that goes, yeah, just like Friday Scott. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's it? Yeah. When did Kim Seikanya put a hit on her? I missed that one.

That happen? I don't know. He's saying that maybe it happened privately. I didn't hear that one either. And how do you accuse the mother of your child of kidnapping? I don't know. I can't. I thought he wanted to get back with her.

But that's just because she was having a birthday party. How's that kidnapping though? It's not really. Oh, okay. But,'t know. I can't. I thought he wanted to get back with her. But that's just because she was having a birthday party. How's that kidnapping, though? It's not, really. Oh, okay. But, you know. All right. Now, Kylie Jenner, congratulations to her and Travis Scott. They have welcomed their second child together.

Nice. 2-222. A boy, right? That's a good date. Yes, a boy. Congrats to them. All right. Well, that is your rumor report.

And prayers up to Tyrese, by the way. He revealed his mother is in the ICU. And he did say in the middle of filming he got the worst phone call he's ever gotten. He had to ask the director for a pause. His mother is in a coma in ICU with pneumonia, and she caught COVID. So prayers up to Tyrese's mother. I'm sure that's a difficult time for him. Absolutely.

Send in healing energy to my man Tyrese and his mom. All right. Send in healing energy to Kanye West, too and his mom all right well send the healing energy to kanye west too man lord he needs it now i'm gonna send healing energy to the cousin that trying to get the belugas no she's short so sending healing energy to kim and the family too that was kind of disrespectful in the midst of all this drama not really though yes it is i'm gonna tell you why because she's like, you want a little information, huh? You know what I'm saying? You want the number?

I'll give you the number, but is it safe to buy shoes on StockX? Wink, wink. I will say StockX does verify everything, right? And we went through the whole verification process. They do. So they guarantee that they're real. So yes, hun, it is safe to buy. She didn't want that answer, though.

And she didn't give him the number, because he said he got it from Larry Jackson. So she was like, oh, I don't get no Yeezys? You don't get no number. What's the problem here? Sounds like an even exchange to me. What a family. Alright. People's Choice mixes up next is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

We are The Breakfast Club. It's Black History Month. What we doing? Listen man, you know, every day on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network, we drop a daily podcast called I Didn't Know Maybe You Didn't Either hosted by my guy BDOT. And today BDOT is telling us the history of the dunking booth

and how it was created. Let's listen. I didn't know maybe you didn't know. What's happening? BDOT here kicking it with the Black Effect podcast, and we are at the Magnolia House in Greensboro, North Carolina. It's nice in here. We're in the Baldwin Room. In the late 1800s and as early as the 1950s, white folk would play a game at the fair called Hit the N***a, Baby. You can Google it. I'm not making this up. You would get to the fair. There would be a huge target.

And in the bull's eye, an enslaved Negro would sacrifice his face. And for $5, you would get three baseballs, and you would try to knock that negro's eyeballs out his sockets. After mutilations and numerous missing teeth, sometimes even death, the white people of that time said, hey, this isn't safe at all. Translation being, when you're deforming my products at the fair, they don't come back working right. So what did the innovative white people of the times decide to do? They said, hey,

bring over a barrel of water and let's set a Negro on top of it. And you take those three baseballs and you hit that target. When you do, the Negro, he'll fall into the water and we'll get a good ol' kick out of it. Thus inventing the dunking booth. How thoughtful. I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.

I didn't know. I didn't know that. Maybe you didn't either. Make sure to subscribe to the I Didn't Know, Maybe You Didn't Either podcast. It drops daily on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. B-Dot, thank you for that free jewelry, my brother. All right. Keep it locked.

We got the positive note at the Breakfast Club tomorrow. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Yes, and happy Monday. I do want to shout out to some people in Turks and Caicos. First of all, happy birthday to Oki. He owns Captain Oaks Tiki Bar.

If you ever have the privilege to go on vacation in Turks, it's such a beautiful place. But you got to check out Captain Oaks. And they also opened up another spot called Noah's Ark. So shout out to Michael Mizik who opened the Noah's Ark. It's like these little bars in the middle of the ocean. So it's a really fun thing. So thank you to Jack Nasty who took care

of us while we were out there. I just had a nice weekend. I tried to relax but I ended up doing a lot of work while I was there. But it was cool to have a little bit of time. Alright. Well, Charlamagne, you got a positive note? I do, man. The positive note is simply this. An unhealed person can find a fence in pretty much anything someone does.

A healed person understands that the actions of others has absolutely nothing to do with them. Each day, you get to decide which one you will be. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.

It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my god. What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
