I think the latest flight is like 4 o'clock or something like that, so I tried to get home Last night Because it was early But there's no late flights I think the latest flight Is like four o'clock Or something like that So I couldn't get back So I'm here In South Carolina So I can't wait To get some

They told me Shoney's breakfast Shoney's breakfast Shoney's That's what they tell me I don't know I mean Shoney's is good I ain't been to Shoney's

In years though Years I didn't know They still had Shoney's I thought they was Gonna change the name And everything Shoney's

I don't know They said Shoney's For breakfast The blueberry biscuits And then they gonna Put me on the flight Back home Sounds like you've Been. They said Shoney's for breakfast, the blueberry biscuits, and then they're going to put me on the flight back home. Sounds like you've been doing a lot of eating since you've been out there. You might as well go to Bojangles and get you a blueberry biscuit if you're going to do all that.

Okay, maybe I'll try that. Well, I was in Miami over the weekend and I just had to do this Bitcoin Rodney conference on a yacht. So it was interesting. They had different panels in each room. Then I came back.

That was it. One day. All right. Both of you little super spreaders. Y'all just out and about. You know what I mean? Actually, mine was very socially distanced. And we all had on our masks and everything.

So it wasn't a party. Yeah, I mean, I wasn't in the crowd. I was on stage by myself. So I don't have nothing to worry about. But I do see cases are going up like crazy. I know a couple of people that actually got it that weren't vaccinated. So, again, if you're out and about, please be careful. Wear your mask.

I got my mask on all the time, even though I'm vaccinated. Vaccinated. But I said vaccinated. Vaccinated. Are you sure? I hope they didn't vaccinate you, because that's the wrong thing. Even though I'm vaccinated. I still get it.

See, there you go, spreading misinformation. Envy on the I'm vaccinated. That's why I'm still getting it. See, then you're going to spread misinformation. Envy on the radio on top of being vaccinated, whatever the hell that is. A lot of vacillation going on. Jesus Christ. I'm vaccinated. That's not like Gia made you get a surgery because she's tired of having kids. You go and get vaccinated right now. I need to go get vaccinated.

Well, I believe Jalen Rose will be joining us this morning. Oh, man, I love Jalen Rose. Yeah, he's going to be joining us. We're going to talk about everything NBA, everything he has going on, and, of course, the draft as well. A lot went on in the NBA, so we're going to talk to him in a little bit. And we got front-page news. What are we talking about?

Yes, and let's talk about this moratorium, you know, over the weekend that came to an end, and so they are expecting that evictions are going to spike. It's already started, so we'll tell you what's going on with that. 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.

Let's get into some front-page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with Cori Bush. Congresswoman Cori Bush has been sleeping outside of the Capitol to protest the end of the eviction freeze, you know, that ended over the weekend. She posted, it's 1 a.m., our solidarity is strong and our numbers are growing. Millions are at risk of being removed from their homes, and a Democratic-controlled government has the power to stop it. Extend the eviction moratorium now. Here's what she said.

These are policy decisions that can be fixed. They could have been fixed a long time ago, so we wouldn't even be in this position with all the prices we have. So we cannot allow people to end up forced out of their homes today. And let me say this. If we don't care about the people in our communities who are suffering in this manner, the country is judged by how we take care of the people that need us the most. America has to do better. If there has to be a plan, though. There has to be a plan.

And I'm going to tell you why. Because the misconception is only nothing but rich people own buildings and own these places. But there's a lot of first-time home investors that purchased an investment property, and they can't pay because their tenants won't pay, which is a problem. So if you help those people, which everybody needs help, you have to help those first-time home investors, too, that own these properties because those people can't pay their mortgage companies. So you've got to help on both sides. And as Cori Bush just said, if the country is judged by how they treat people who need it the most, America failed that test a long time ago.

Absolutely. And they have plenty of time to come up with a plan. We all knew this was about to happen. So the fact that it hasn't, but I do not agree with kicking people out of their homes at all. And it's Monday now. So imagine what it's going to be like today when the courts are open, people are locked out of their homes. They said more than 15 million people live in households that owe as much as 20 billion dollars to their landlords. And as of July 5th, roughly 3.6 million people in the U.S. They have faced eviction in the next two months.

I know a lot of a lot of landlords that can't pay their mortgage and they haven't been paying their mortgage in over a year. So you got to help both sides and they got to figure out how they can help the people that actually own the properties and the tenants as well. You got to help both. I just want to know, when has this country ever had a plan for the have-nots? When has this country ever had a plan for the people who need it? When has this country ever had a plan

for the poor and disenfranchised? When? Somebody's school me to that one. And as things are getting worse right now with COVID and now people are getting worse right now with COVID, and now people are getting evicted, just imagine it's a health crisis, it's a housing crisis happening simultaneously.

And that's a state-to-state thing, too. It's not every state. Like, I know New Jersey extended. Some states actually had the power to extend. And crime will shoot up as well. All right, well, that is your front page news.

All right, get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent hit us up right now phone lines are wide open again 800-585-1051 it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club hey guys i'm kate max you might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've

hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High 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 for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned 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 warheads. 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. 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. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass up.

Negroes is hungry. Can I tell y'all, too, took Lil Boosie's advice this weekend and I tried to be straight this weekend. I know. I tried to be straight this weekend.

How'd it go? Okay, you were trying to be straight. Okay. How'd it work out? And, first of all, my friends invited me up to this bunch of gay dudes invited me around this weekend. They bring me all around them. Then I tried to go to brunch and not order mimosas

because it's gay. Basically, what you're saying is there's too many fine men with penises out there. Wait, did you say mimosas are gay? I mean, that's what I be reading. They say on Twitter that you can't order mimosas

for treatment. What about Bellinis? That's not true. You can drink mimosas and Bellinis. There's nothing gay about that. Okay, well, if too many men walk around and you have to go wrap drawers

and it's just all right. I understand, Bootsy. I think I... gay about that okay well too many men walk around and you have to go wrap drawers and it's just hard being straight with all these penises around so so boozy said boozy said to the crowd uh over the weekend he was like well since the breakfast club won't fly him to new york he's gonna to take an Uber to New York to do the interview. That sounds more expensive than flying. I think that is a little more expensive, Boosie. The Breakfast Club has never paid for anybody to come to the Breakfast Club. Never.

And I will also say, if Boosie comes to the Breakfast Club, we're going to have David Johns right here with him. He needs to sit down and have a conversation with somebody from the LGBTQ community that can educate him on some things. We should bring Trav. Nah, David Johnson, not Trav. Hello, who's this? This is Jasmine.

Hey, Jasmine, get it off your chest, mama. No, I just wanted to tell y'all hi. I love y'all. I am so thankful. And I wanted to announce I purchased my first home this June. Yay! Congratulations, Jasmine. Now that's a gift.

Charlamagne, but he was telling us about the Teletubbies and all the things that he was doing in the industry behind the scenes. I think we might have called him once because, you know, he always would hit us up. I think we might have called him on the air once. I don't think he's ever been up here, though. All right. Now, they have also announced today tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Eastern,

and that is to go see Kanye West presents the Donda album release. That's going to be happening on Thursday. So Live Nation confirmed that listening party is going to be going down this Thursday, August 5th. Now, I'm not mad if he packs out the stadium again, but do you run and kick that football again? No. If you went there last time and the album didn't even drop, do you do that to yourself again?

If you're a huge fan, yeah. You go buy them $50 chicken tenders again? Yeah, no, people said they were driving hours to get there, and they said, and I could be wrong, they said he was two hours late and he did six songs. I'm not sure though. All right, well it's going to be

Creative Direction by Balenciaga's Demna Vassalia. I can't even pronounce it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, right. And the tickets are going to be priced between $30 and $75. So if you are trying to go, they go on sale today at 10 a.m.

Oh, congratulations, Kanye. All right, now what is the best music video of all time? Well, in honor of MTV's 40th anniversary, Rolling Stone has ranked the 100 greatest music videos of all time. Who do you think was number one on that list?

Michael Jackson, Thriller. Michael Jackson, Thriller? Michael Jackson, I forgot about Thriller. Yeah, Michael Jackson, Thriller. You know what's crazy? Thriller's not even in the top 10 on this list. But Billie Jean is at number 10 on this list. Billie Jean was dope, but it wasn't Thriller.

Billie Jean was dope, but it ain't no Thriller. That list is null and void, then. Number 9, Peter Gabriel, Sledgehammer. Oh, no, number 9 was Guns N' Roses, November Rain. Number 8, Peter Gabriel. Number 7 was D'Angelo. Untitled. How does it feel? Remember that one where he was naked? Spinning around naked?

They got a lot of guys on their workout regimen, Angelo, Untitled, how does it feel? Remember that one where he was naked? Spinning around naked. All right. That got a lot of guys on their workout regimen, by the way. All right. This is America was number four on that list. Childish Gambino. Huh? I mean, Listen, This is America was great, but if you've ever seen the exhibit video, what you see, I think it was what you get.

Remember the exhibit one where he was walking and all the chaos was behind him? That's what This is America was to me. All right. Number three was Madonna, Vogue. And number one on the list, Beyonce, Formation. I disagree. No Missy Elliott or Busta Rhymes. Missy Elliott was number 16. Put Your Hand Where My Eyes Can See, Thriller.

Like, no. I don't know who did that list. I'm a Pinkett Smith, Winfrey Knows Carter, but number one video of all time? It's Thriller. Of all time? Yeah, Thriller. Nah, come on. I mean, you know these things are always subjective. No, It's Thriller. Of all time? Yeah, Thriller. Nah, come on. I mean, you know these things are always subjective.

No, it's not subjective. It is. Everybody has their own. They definitely are, okay? It's definitely subjective. But, yeah, I just never have had that conversation about Formation being the number one video of all time. Michael Jackson, Thriller.

All right, now let's talk about Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg. You know they've been doing commentary of the Olympics. So Olympic highlights with Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg streamed on Peacock over the last week. They were recapping some of the highs and lows during the games in Tokyo. So listen to this. Do the horses get medals when they win, too, or they don't get medals? That's a good question, Snoop. I've never seen a horse with a medal.

Do they? No, it goes to the person on the horse which should be changed. He ain't did nothing but just sat on the motherfucking and went for the ride. I demand for a horse to get the respect that they deserve,

have the same bragging rights as the jockey. You start to hang a medal on these horses' neck so when they get around the other horses, they can... and show the other horse. They get back there in the stall. Look at y'all naked neck asses. They ain't got nothing. I love it. You see how just a little

bit of personality, just a little bit of realness cuts through because we so used to hearing just the cookie cutter announcers talk. At one point, Snoop said he thought the horse was cryptwalking. I saw that. Alright, now Kevin Hart's been all over the place. He even crashed Usher's set in Vegas. I'm dying to go to this Usher show, by the way.

And here's what happened when Kevin Hart joined him on stage. Don't move. Welcome to the rated R part of the show. Take that, baby. Now, we almost couldn't play that. Because up here, our producer said that it was moaning. No, that's ad libs I thought that was funny Alright, and Young Blue, congratulations to him

He actually celebrated Moonboy selling 24,000 in the first week Now Academics had posted that on his page And Young Blue said Big W, first album, you gotta sell 24k before you sell 100k Number 13 on Billboard, First album, all independent. Odds Against Us. I only had like 10% of the industry supporting and posting my ish. Still did my thing.

Only up from here. Classic Moonboy. It's a great album. I respect his optimism. That's how he should feel. He should be appreciative of what you sold. Yeah, it's a really good album too. So if you guys haven't listened to it, make sure you do.

And 4toDoug has deleted something that he said on social media. Now, I'm sure y'all saw this video over the weekend where he is, it's his son, and he's with his son, and he kind of licks his neck. Did y'all see this video? I seen that, yeah. And it ended up going viral, and people had all kind of jokes about it. And, you know, he posted, ain't nobody going for that gay, I don't even want to say all this, but it was it was a very homophobic rant.

And he did delete that and apologize since he went to his Instagram to apologize for the initial delete. He said it never be my intentions to offend anybody, even when I'm offended. So for that, I am sorry. Usually I'm a very private person when it comes to personal ish, such as my son or my family in general. People always tell me I need to take more pictures or, you know, let my fans see something about me other than music. Yesterday, I called myself doing that. My son's birthday was over the weekend, so I decided I would let y'all see how much fun we had.

You know, the pictures, videos I posted of my son wasn't put out for feedback. That was us being us. So for y'all to take that and make it what y'all did just reminded me of why I keep my family private. He said, I will not be showing my son or any of my family on this ish again. It's just crazy, though, that a man showing

any type of affection to his child is considered anything other than a man showing love to his child. Right, that's his child. I get it. Some people are like, I would never do that. But, you know, I don't think he meant anything by it.

But, you know, when you put things on social media, people just be weighing in. So I understand he don't want to put that on there again. He's no longer sharing with y'all. Lost that privilege. Okay. All right. And that is your rumor report. All right.

Thank you, Miss Yee. Now we got front page news when we come back. Things are about to get worse before they get better. We'll tell you what Dr. Anthony Fauci has to say. All right.

Now, over the weekend, the USA men's basketball team beat Czech Republic 119-84 on Sunday. They advanced to the knockout stage now. And in some NBA,

it looks like they're saying Carmelo Anthony is unlikely to return to the Blazers. He might come to the Knicks, huh? He might come to the Knicks or might come to the Lakers, they are saying. Also, Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul are now unrestricted, meaning I guess they can decide if they want to get traded or go to another team.

No, not traded. They're in free agency. Free agency, so they can go to another team. So they not traded. They can get there in free agents. Yeah. Free agency, so they can go to another team. So they're saying Kawhi Leonard might go to the Mavericks. That's what they've been saying.

And maybe Chris Paul to the Lakers. Who knows? I doubt Kawhi is leaving the Clippers. You don't think so? Yeah. And I doubt Chris Paul is leaving the Suns. Highly doubt it. All right.

Well, we'll see. And salute to Jasmine Camacho Quinn and Raven Sanchez, both representing the 843 to Jasmine Camacho Quinn and Raven Saunders, both representing the 8-4-3. Jasmine Camacho Quinn won gold in the hurdles, I believe, this weekend. And Raven Saunders won silver in the shot put. So dropping the clues, Bonds, for the 8-4-3. The low country, South Carolina all day.

Yeah, busting ass. And also the women's basketball team, USA basketball team, I think they're undefeated now. So now they're on the medal round. So congratulations to those ladies. Asia Wilson representing the 8-0-33, the Metro Columbia, South Carolina, playing for the women's basketball team. All right.

What else? What else we got, Yeezy? And also Simone Biles is returning for the balance team. So she's returning to competition in Tokyo. She'll be competing on Tuesday. Oh, she is? Yeah. I thought she pulled out everything.

No. No, just a couple of. But yeah, I'm glad to see her back in there. And she described why she was having some air awareness issues, uh, referred to as the twisties. All right. Now, Dr. Fauci is saying that things are going to get worse because of unvaccinated individuals, but also he doesn't foresee a lockdown. Uh, he said that we have enough of the percentage of people in the country, not enough to crush the outbreak, but he thinks that, uh, we're not going to be in the situation that we were in previously. Here is Dr. Fauci. I don't think we're going to

see lockdowns. I think we have enough of the percentage of people in the country, not enough to crush the outbreak, but I believe enough to not allow us to get into the situation we were in last winter. But things are going to get worse. If you look at the acceleration of the number of cases, the seven-day average has gone up substantially. What does he mean when he says things are going to get worse? I mean, I would think the worst is what happened last year, right? If that's what's going to happen, what does the worst look like?

He's talking about right now with the Delta variant, that the numbers are going to go up before they go back down. So what he's saying is they're not going to get better right away. We haven't seen the peak of this outbreak from this Delta variant in the next two or three weeks. He thinks the numbers are going to get worse. And they're saying that you're seeing more numbers like you see the results of Fourth of July celebrations. And then I'm sure if you saw Lollapalooza, you saw what Rolling Loud was like. You can see those numbers. Florida has the highest numbers right now. Yeah, I mean, yeah, that is terrible.

But, you know, the worst is, you know, when people can't go to work. So folks care about being on lockdown and not being able to work more than anything. So when I hear him say the worst, but then say we're not going back on lockdown, I'm like, okay, well, what is the worst? But, you know, rising cases, yes. And I think it's also bad because school is about to start again, too. And kids, a lot of kids aren't eligible to get vaccinated. So I'm sure that doesn't help either.

But as far as being fully vaccinated, they did say at least 125,000 fully vaccinated Americans have tested positive for COVID. And 1,400 of those have died. They're calling those breakthrough cases in 38 states. And so what they're saying is a number of people who are vaccinated fully that actually have tested positive represent less than 0.08 percent of the 164.2 million plus people who have been fully vaccinated since January. Why do they play the percentage game, though? Because, you know, 125,000 people is 125,000 people because you can do the percentage game with anything. You could do that with actual COVID deaths. You could could say 600 000 of 320 million is a low percentage like i don't i don't i think they're trying to encourage people to get vaccinated because they're saying that there's a very low percentage if you're fully vaccinated that you'll get it of course there's a breakthrough cases because it's not 100 effective but for some people who are saying well i'm not going to get

vaccinated because some people are getting it they They're saying it does offer you protection. Well, I think I know a lot more people will get vaccinated when it's fully approved by the FDA. When they're working on that, they say they're working on that now. But I mean, it's very scary. We've been talking behind the scenes about people that we know who have recently got COVID and got the Delta variant and how it's affecting their body. So it's very scary. It is very scary. Wear your mask. And like I said, I'm I'm scared for my kids at this point because they can't get vaccinated. You know, they're under the age. So but they still have to go to school. It's just very scary.

Right. And, you know, and in Florida, the governor has blocked school mask mandates. So Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has issued an executive order Friday. He blocked those mandates in schools, saying parents have the right to decide if their kids should wear face coverings or not. He said in Florida, there will be no lockdowns. There will be no school closures. There will be no restrictions and no mandates in the state of Florida and Texas. The governor there signed an executive order prohibiting mask mandates or vaccine requirements from government agencies and municipalities statewide. And could somebody ask Dr. Fauci or someone about the herd immunity thing? Because I would feel like that would have kicked in already. Right.

Well, it hasn't. And I think it's also because it's a variant, too. So it's a different, it's mutated. And it's a lot more transmissible than the previous COVID-19 that we had. So they're saying this one is just like the chickenpox, like the way that it transmits. All right. And that is your Front Page News. All right. And that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.

Now, when we come back, Jalen Rose will be joining us. The legend. That's right. We're going to kick it with Jalen Rose. Everything that's going on from NBA to sports to all that. So don't move, Jalen Rose. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, guys, I'm Kate Max. The Breakfast Club. Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories,

their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High.

It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High 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.

55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supremeest 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. Why can't I trade my 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 warheads. 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. 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. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a friend to the room, a brother to the room. Man, I feel like I really know you because I watch you every day. That's mutual. Literally, every day.

I watch Jalen and Jacoby every day. Jalen Rose is here, man. What up, dope? What's going on, man. What up, Dove? What's going on, man? Welcome back, first and foremost. And how are you? How are you? I'm doing great.

I'm doing great. It's been a tough, to be honest, it's been a tough like 12 to 18 months for me personally and professionally and my family in particular. Condolences on your mom. Thank you very much. I went from being one of the people in the crowd that was really fortunate to be like, I haven't had a lot of deaths in my family. And, you know, my grandmother's 100 years old.

And then before you know it, you know, I lost my uncle, my uncle Paramore, rest in peace. And then I lost my eldest brother, who was in his early 60s. And then I lost my grandmother and then in february i lost my mom was that all due to covid none due to covid wow none due to covid uh my mother had cancer um she was a heavy cigarette smoker and uh she was in hospice you know in december and january and you know that kind of stuff just changed you. I woke up one day, I never met my biological father. He died in the mid-2000s, Jimmy Walker.

And I was just doing the draft and sitting there, and it actually hit me that I was an orphan. Like, I was like, wow. What you mean orphan? You had your mom, though. When you don't have living parents, you're considered an orphan. I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying i get what you're saying and basketball is the tie to my family like like so i think about i'm working the draft my father was the number one pick in 67

your mama used to push you and tell you correct my mother was the one that got me into the game she created the name jaylen combining his name j and my uncle Leonard, who took her to the hospital to give birth. And now I'm sitting there watching Jalen Green walk across the stage. Jalen Suggs walk across the stage. Jalen Johnson walk across the stage. And my mom created the name. Yeah, I remember I read something. Maybe it was in the Fab Five, Doc, that the name J Yeah, I remember I read something.

Maybe it was in the Fab Five, the name Jalen shot up during your Fab Five days or something like that. Yes. People naming their kid Jalen. And that's the most humbling thing that's ever happened in my life or my career to have people come up to me and tell me the origins

of why somebody's name is Jalen. And if you notice, each of them are under 30 years of age because when I was in college, it was from 91 to 94. You and Nas, I think you and Nas are responsible for a lot of names. How are you dealing with that grief, though? Because I remember watching you, I think you was on Maria Taylor when you was just talking and you clearly broke down.

Like, how are you dealing with it now and uh i think uh being hardened by society and just being a black man and being an athlete and growing up in the street we we're learning to suppress our pain that's right and or mask it that's right whether it's partying drinking or smoking or bad habits or whatever and so it's it's been a unique space for me in a lot of ways but uh i'm really fortunate i'm highly favored and uh it's just one day at a time really that's kind of how i handle it and the responsibilities in my life change like i tell young people all of the time the circumstances in your life change when all of your bills are in your name you know i what I'm saying? Not your phone bill, not your car insurance. All of your bills are in your name. And I found myself doing estate planning as a 48-year-old man

and four of the people that were a part of that are gone. Wow, wow, wow. And it was kind of eerie to have to do that over the last month or so. Wow. Was there ever times in high school, college, even the pros, where you felt the way you felt mentally and emotionally? We see everybody taking their breaks now because we understand what mental health is. Was this the most difficult thing mentally you had to deal with?

Yes. And shout out to Naomi Osaka. Shout out to Simone Biles. I support. I salute them. Absolutely. I remember being a young famous kid from the inner city

and I was ready athletically to compete and I had the eye of the tiger to try to be a dog and to try to be a member of the Fab Five and to make it to the league but I remember there was a time we were about to play Duke and it was a big CBS game and i executive

produced a fab five documentary and i remember watching this interview where we were all sitting there for the first time and i remember thinking like damn my skin is messed up my teeth is messed up i'm broke i don't have a haircut like do i even deserve to be here right now and it was masked as you guys know if there's black men in particular you know just shut up and deal with it that's right and so we suppress our pain in a lot of ways and our anxiety in a lot of ways and so that was a pivotal point for me in my life then. And losing the family members I've recently lost now. I'm not saying this because this next thing, because I think I'm harder or anything. I'm saying this because it's OK to share emotion.

That's right. I've probably only cried maybe five times in like 25 years. I see it. Right. Right. Like regardless of what has happened to me and I've been through a lot of turbulence, trials and tribulations like we all have. And each of those situations challenged me, Charlemagne to,

uh, to reevaluate, you know, taking my mental health serious and evaluating like like when you get on the airplane securing your mask first that's a real thing because when you become a success story you guys know it you know it you go from being a part of the crew to being the boss the leader the breadwinner and uh that becomes a lot of responsibility and you know it's been an amazing journey and I'm really happy

how I've been able to overcome a lot of the things that I've dealt with and I just want to inspire others. Alright now keep it locked we have more with Jalen Rose when we come back it's the Breakfast Club good morning. Morning everybody it's DJ Envy Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha Guy we are the Breakfast

Club we're still kicking it with Jalen Rose. What do you think about people that say, like, and I've been seeing this all over social media, you know, like, for instance, Simone Biles. She trained all her life for that moment. She, you know, went to practice eight hours a day and trained seven days a week, and now when she got to the moment,

she didn't follow through, you know, and they say the same thing. That's like if Tom Brady got to the Super Bowl and Super Bowl day, say, you know what, I don't want to do this. Or Michael Jordan game six, you know, like, you know what, I'm not playing. So what do you say to those people that don't see it on the same way that you see it? So a lot of those people, about 75% of those people, think January 6th at the Capitol was a picnic.

A lot of those people, you know, so there's nothing I can say into this microphone for 450 years that's going to even compute to them that we're more than athletes. We're more than jocks. We're not going to shut up and dribble. Right? And so for the people who feel like you practiced

your entire life and now this is the major moment, this is what I want them to understand. Michael Jordan won three championships, lost his father and took a mental health break and took two years of mental health break. That's right. We didn't have the language for it back then, but that's what he did. He was an adult playing in the NBA, the GOAT already. That's right. She's's 24 25 years old like it's it's way different when you're a kid that's what that is and so she actually showed maturity to me by saying this isn't about me I don't feel feel my best. That's right. So I will take a step back and allow you guys to flourish because this isn't all about me. That's right.

Now imagine if she would have said she was going to perform and then all of a sudden before she started to compete, she didn't have it. And this is what I want to say about what she does for a living that's different from all of us. She got to be perfect all of the time. See, playing basketball, I can make a turnover. I can miss a shot. My bad. My bad. I can go out and kick it the night before.

If it's a bad game, it's a bad game. We play again. She got to stick the landing each time. She has to be perfect. She has to get a 10. And by the way, when she wasn't her best, she still qualified. And the other thing, Team USA is over there, right? But a guy like Kevin Durant gets a chance to compete in one sport

and get one medal. She's competing in four different actions for four medals and also has to be perfect. So that's a way different exercise that she's juggling and also too you know simone biles we don't know what she's already pushed through yeah you know what i mean larry nasser that's what i'm saying she was one of the abuse victims so imagine you're going to your place your home your place of, your sanctuary as an athlete. That happened to her during that period of time. That's right.

Most people wouldn't want to compete. Ever again. Ever again. That's right. And they would feel, and I would feel, and to be honest, as I say this out loud, I'm surprised they don't feel, I would feel neglected by that governing body that allowed me to be abused that now turns around and ask me to go out and compete for them. You know, the crazy part about it is you don't hear these stories a lot of times.

Like I was talking to somebody this weekend and it was like maybe you would know better. They said Allen Iverson would only eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before the games because if not, his anxiety in his stomach will give him the bubbles because he was playing in front of so many people. So he would only eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before the games because if not, his anxiety and his stomach would give him the bubbles because he was playing in front of so many people. So he would only eat a peanut butter and jelly. It would keep his stomach good. I've got another example for you, and I know I'm not speaking out of school because this is family and everybody that's in the league kind of know about this. Rod Strickland was like that too.

The panic attacks? Rod Strickland would be one of those guys that basically would need to go throw up in the towel before the game. Really? Yeah. I remember playing with him later in our careers. We were playing in Toronto and I was more established in that situation. I was the captain.

I was the highest paid player on the team. This is Rod Strickland. This is a legend to me. 2010. I'm still mad at the Knicks. They broke up him and Mark Jackson. And I'm from Detroit. That's raw, fresh cut, best fitted, like, current Kyrie, everybody, who ain't seeing him play, right?

And I'm like, I don't want them to see the OG like this because, you know, it might affect his job security with this squad. And so before a couple of games when he would go and do that, I was in there trying to clean it up for him and with him. You see what I mean? And so everybody that you encounter is either in a storm, just got out of a storm, or going through a storm. That's an absolute fact.

Now, how we handle that is a measure of our character and just perseverance. How does it change everything going forward? I mean, not just sports, but life or really sports, because they have everything there for you physically. You got all the trainers and people to get you all right physically. What's that going to do to the sports world mentally? Do you have therapists on the team? Counselors? What?

Well, that's come a long way. I was using this example yesterday. There was a time when players just didn't have all access to the team facility. Look back at some of the old footage of Larry Bird in the mid-80s when he's in the arena running a

concourse. It's dark. It's dark. Think about it. Larry Bird didn't have access to the gym. Wow. And so as relationships grow and you get paid more, you become partners and owners start to appreciate you more than just being a commodity. Then they start to treat you more with a level of autonomy. You see Aaron Rodgers dealing with this right now with the Green Bay Packers. And so

the teams now do a great job not only trying to low manage quote unquote players with their injuries. And to me it's a difference between recovery from a horrific injury. Like if Kawhi Leonard is going to miss some games, like I saw him mess up his

knee. Like that knee is going to be messed up. If you mess up your knee it's going to be messed up forever. That type of thing. But the exact same thing they are now doing for mental health. Making sure counselors are available. Make sure that you have the support you need. Teams are doing a terrific job of making sure that athletes

and your support group, your family, your kids, and even retired players definitely have access if they want to take advantage of it. I know you got 15 minutes. I know you got to go. I know you got a live hit. Russell Westbrook, L.A. Lakers, what's your thoughts?

I'm so happy for Russ because he about to reinvent himself. You think so? Watch this, family. This happened with Carmelo Anthony. If Melo would have ended his career after being released by the Houston Rockets, we'll look at my guy, the future Hall of Famer, and the narrative that people would have penned to Pat, they would write different about him.

But he goes to Portland, resurrects his name because top ten scoring. You get a chance to see him come back to New York. You get a chance to see him go out like he's supposed to. Russell Westbrook has always been an underappreciated player. I'm going to tell you why. He plays the same speed the entire game. And this is the greatest compliment I could pay

him. He plays like they're not keeping score. So the first two minutes of the game, he's going to play with a reckless abandon the last two minutes of the game where everybody like hold on slow it down i don't care if you're at the park i don't care where you at it's like all right it's game point slow it down hey hold on russ like nah we going right right and so that is what people that's what makes him the most polarizing.

But as far as his productivity and his speed and his killer instinct and breaking the big old triple-double record and his rebounding and stuff, he's going to be great for the Lakers. All right, now keep it locked. We have more with Jalen Rose when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Jalen Rose. Charlamagne? I love seeing you and Chris Webber back on good terms, too, man. Like, how do you think that healing happened? I think it happened through the loss of my mother. I really do, because his parents were at the funeral.

See, this is what's crazy about relationships. You and I may be family for 10 or 15 years and fall out, but we still got so many people in common. And they shouldn't become collateral damage, because as adults, we're not currently seeing eye to eye. So it's dumb when I'm at my mom's funeral i'm hugging his mother and father and me and him ain't seeing out of life is too short for that and so i just think that became a seminal moment to where it was like all right it's kind of just trying to put down the

gloves what was that conversation like because i saw when when he got into the hall of fame he was on with you, and I heard him say that at the end, man, you know how much I love your mom. And I'm like, wait a minute, we're missing a whole storyline here. When did that reconciliation happen? Well, to be fair, in theory,

if there's to be a sit-down, an eye-to-eye, a one-on-one, that's supposed to happen now that the season has ended. That's right. And I don't know if i'm gonna say it because i just you know life may life may be over tomorrow this is something that you guys would be proud of i literally looked down at my phone yesterday and there was a text

from c-web to the other four members of the fab five and he told us he loved us he appreciated us and he invited us to be at his Hall of Fame ceremony. That's incredible. Couldn't be any other way, though. And I responded, wouldn't miss it for the world. That's real. You know, and shout to Ray Jackson, who recently lost his father. And it's like, growing up in the public eye, it's crazy.

I get a chance to run into media members and people that have been assassinating my character for 30 years. It's crazy as you start to become an adult. So I think we will be healed moving forward. Juwan's the head coach doing a great job at U of M. If you guys ever

in Michigan, I'm a season ticket holder. Love you guys to come to a game and represent. But it's going to be great when we're all standing at half-court in Ann Arbor, Michigan, while Juwan, Sudha, and Budha coaching the team and they're honoring our team. That's right. I know you're happy, too,

that the NCAA is finally letting college athletes get paid. That's something you've been championing forever. You've been on the front lines of that fight forever. It's crazy. As you start to get older, I remember watching Muhammad Ali get vilified for so very long.

It hurt me when I saw him carrying a torch in Atlanta and he had heavy Parkinson's. I took it almost as we waited this long as a country to celebrate my hero and and that really bothered me and and i felt like that about the fab five and the ncaa for so very long because

people were lining their pockets and the fans know what we brought to the table, the Fab Five, what we brought to the culture, and I just remember those years being called a thug or being called a hoodlum. And by the way, some of my college years, I actually was. You know what I'm saying? That was right.

But we are not allowed to grow and mature. And so, I am happy for the NCAA that they now realize that this indentured servitude that you've been doing, and I'm going to be frank, it happens in the sports dominated by black athletes. That's right. It's such a remnant of slavery, right? It's, all right, after high school football player, you can't go to the league for three years.

Right. But if you play tennis, if you play golf, if you want to be a race car driver. Be professional in it immediately. You can be a pro immediately. That's only in football, and that's only in basketball. And coincidentally, in particular football, these are the sports that fund the entire athletic program. The entire athletic program. So, in other words, I need to keep you in school to fund the program and make money for the school.

And so, it's obvious that it was going to eventually happen, but I'm happy that it's finally happening. But better late than never. Does it work retroactively? Because I believe those Fab Five jerseys. Come on, man. Not only that, but people lost their Heisman trophies. Reggie Bush lost his Heisman. But here's what's crazy, and that's why I'm really fortunate that

we stand on the shoulders of giants. We didn't know about trademarking and all of that in the early 90s. And I stumped some young people the other day. I was like, I didn't know my trademarking and all of that in the early 90s. And I stumped some young people the other day. I was like, I didn't know my credit score in college. Like, times were difficult. I was using a floppy disk. And so imagine if we were able to trademark in one way, shape, or form the entire Fab Five.

Black socks. The first time we wore black socks Three of us had on black socks Two of us had on dress socks I had on dress socks over my white socks They didn't even have five pairs of black socks at the mall They didn't have five Pair of black socks At the mall what about Harachis

Yeah yeah yeah Those came out got re-released a couple of times So like there were so many Things the longer shorts That was something that wasn't being done. And so. The answer is no. On the retroactive jerseys. Not going to be able to do it.

Jalen, I know you got to head out of here, man. We appreciate you for joining us, man. Anything you need to plug? Hey, I'm going to call away. You know, I watch the show every day, whether it's on YouTube or listening to it in the car. You guys started this show, I think, about 10 or 11 years ago. Yeah, about 11, 9. Right.

That's the same. We started Jalen and Jacoby the same time y'all started this show. I've always looked at our show as a mirror sports version of this show. So I want to applaud you guys for y'all professionalism, for y'all courage, and for y'all voices. Nah, same to you, man. I literally watch Jalen and Jacoby every day. Y'all know, it ain't easy

to criticize people that you gotta run into. That you one text away. And to be ten toes down at all times. It ain't easy. You gotta keep your head on the swivel. But you know what? It's funny you say that because I look at you and you carry yourself with a certain level of integrity, even doing something like apologizing to press. It helps me to grow as a broadcaster too.

And just as a human. Absolutely. So I appreciate and got mad love for you guys. Don't hesitate to reach out. And if y'all ever in Detroit, please stop by JRLA. Tuition free, open enrollment, public charter high school. Started in 2011. Okay. All right. Well, I charter high school started in 2011. Okay.

All right. Well, I'm out there actually next Tuesday and Wednesday. So I'll give you a call. Yes, indeed. Appreciate the love. It's Jalen Rose.

It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ envy. Angela Yee, Charlamagne, the guy we are,

the breakfast club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk. Nicki Minaj. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary. Consider this. Start your own country.

I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

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.

Andy Cohen said he would gladly give up his seat to have you host the Potomac reunion tapes around October, and she seemed really excited about it.

So she said she wants to do it. Well, get that bag ready for Nikki. And I'm, and you know, I'm sure she'll be there. That's actually dope. I like when people who actually,

He was on Sound 42's Friday radio show on Friday night, and here's what happened. Album's cooked. Looking forward to delivering it to you. I hope everybody in the world is blessed. And for the rest of you heathens,

I want to tell you because I know you're listening because you're always pre. Don't trouble people's kids. Don't bother people's soul. You know what I'm saying? OVO, we aim for the head. We don't aim to please. You see it?

Certified lover boy on the way. How come Charlamagne Patois don't sound like that when Charlamagne gets in the Patois? First of all, Drake always sounds like a woman. He sounds like a woman. I'm under it. He sounds like a Jamaican mob boss or an employee at a Jamaican restaurant

that's just tired of you being pushy. I told you there's no more oxtail, okay? Okay? Listen, there's a lot coming out this Friday coming up. I wonder if that's coming out on Friday also. You're disturbing my soul. Along with Nas and Kanye's album. You're disturbing my soul.

I told you no more Beef Patty. Just chicken. Okay? All right. Now let's talk about Beanie Seagull on Drink Champs. You know, great conversation, great discussion. A lot of things were talked about now. Some of the things discussed on Drink Champs with Be know, great conversation, great discussion. A lot of things were talked about now. Some of the things discussed on Drink Champs with Beanie Siegel,

because y'all know Norrie was on The Breakfast Club talking about doing a versus with Beanie Siegel. But it looks like that was all a ploy to make all of this happen and these conversations. But one thing he talked about was going to, he almost missed his Rockefeller meeting because he wanted to go to a dog fight. The day that they was going to Rockef he almost missed his Rockefeller meeting because he wanted to go to a dog fight. The day that they was going to Rockefeller Records,

Murder Mill had a dog named Mikey. Grand check. This is your shot. I'm trying to go bet this money on Mikey. So they called, was like, yo, come up, come up. I'm like, all right, but I'm trying to duck him. And it's just for the ride. Yeah, you just go out in the back of them.

That's crazy. Oh, that's right. So when Boobani, he offered it, he was like, yo, come with me. I'm like, all right, I'm going to come. All right. In addition to that, he talked about falling out with Jay-Z. That really hurt him. Carl Swiss.

There's this rumor that one time that Jay got on the stand and they asked him, would you be responsible for Beans? And he said, no. Absolutely. What mind state does that put you in? All right, put it like this. Rockefeller Records was the only thing that I've ever been a part of that I thought was honest. I'm from South Philly, so...

Smile, shake your hand, you know what I mean? Praying next to you, turn around, blow your head off. So me, being with Rockefeller, the La Familia, I held on to that. In addition, he talked about an instance where he actually pulled out a gun on Lior Cohen. So Lior was like, yo, listen, I'm not asking you to go hammer.

I don't even know if you can spell hammer. So I don't know who Lior is at the time. You don't know. I don't even know who the, why we even talking to him. I said, yo, go start the car. So as we leaving up, I'm like, yo, who the you talking to? Like, I don't know. About to snuff Lior?

No, I pulled out. Oh, you pulled out on Lior Coles. Yeah, man. It's a great interview on Drink Champs and Beans holds himself accountable for a lot of things and even when he was discussing pulling out the hammer on Leo Cole

and he was like, that's why Hov didn't want to be all the way responsible for me. Yeah, I mean, that's part of the reason. Right, in addition, he also discussed the Hov vs. Battle. They talked about that. Call Swiss Right. In addition, he also discussed the whole versus battle. They talked about that. Call Swiss. No, no, no. It's already been called.

Make it happen. It's already been made happen. Don't worry about it. You good. Trust me. Because I feel like I'm out of my mind. No, no, no. I'm with it just as much.

In fact, I welcomed it. So trust me. I'm with it. But let me just tell you something, Beans. I really f*** with you. I really got love for you. I'd love to do this battle. I really do. But besides that,

I don't want to battle somebody that's a suck. I want to battle somebody that's real. And listen, you can listen to the Drink Champs podcast on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. And I know you look at Drink Champs time and you say, damn, this podcast is almost three hours. If you're a hip-hop lover, it flies by. Trust me.

Yeah, other things they discuss. He also, Beanie Segal, doesn't think that modern-day hip-hop lover, it flies by. It does. Trust me. Yeah, other things they discuss. It does. It's great interview, Nori. He also, Beanie Segal doesn't think that modern-day hip-hop has a lot of substance, and he also talked about

the Hard Knock Life tour. He talked about helping to discover Just Blaze also, and Jay-Z and Damon Dash is falling in on how you could kind of feel it, his relationship with Cameron,

how he respects Cameron, and Cameron gave him a lot of advice and game, all of those things. The Just Blaze story is, though, I didn't know that Kanye West and Just Blaze first placements were with Beanie, Beanie Siegel. But I learned that on that Drink Champs interview. All right, well, that is your rumor report.

Shout out to Nori again, man. I love what Nori and they're doing with Drink Champs. I just want to say Nori. They shout DJ F. There you go. And also, let me shout out to Jerkt. Jerkt, when you were talking to Patois earlier, it made me hungry, man.

Shout to Jerk'd in Jersey, man. They said you come all the time too, Charlemagne. Hey. Jerk'd, what I said. Hack and sack. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been there a couple times. Absolutely.

All right. Well, who you giving your donker to? We need Joe Manson, the real Joe that's running this country, to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. At Simple Mobile, you get the no contract advantage with no mystery fees, no activation fees, and no contract ever. Simple Mobile, out with the old, in with simple. Terms and conditions at simplemobile.com.

This is America. There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community. Yeah, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man. Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage. And yesterday was a really bad day for him and this is what he did. And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been

the number one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud that my wife is white. The Breakfast Club, bitches! All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day? Well, good morning. Donkey of the Day for monday august 2nd goes to the real joe that is running this country what joe am i talking about if you chose biden for 500 alex you are incorrect i'm talking about joe manson okay the senator from west virginia who

doesn't give a damn about progress in this country okay especially black progress i would say i mean that's just my opinion because if he cared about black progress if he cared about the most loyal voting bloc, then he wouldn't be the reason that legislation that directly impacts black people would get blocked on the regular. All right. Joe Manchin is the senator of GOP leaning West Virginia. If you think for one second that he gives a damn about what the Democratic Party gives a damn about, then I got some air from a Kanye West listening party. I want to sell you. OK, now, yesterday, Joe Manchin was on CNN State of the Union with Jake Tapper. And he was asked a direct question about whether he could imagine supporting a carve out the filibuster rules to help pass voting rights legislation. Why do we need voting rights legislation? Because I have told y'all on this radio as simply as I possibly can that they are trying to stop your black ass right to vote.

All right. And there's this thing called the filibuster. And if they get rid of the filibuster, they can actually get some things done. OK, like voting rights legislation for all my folks who don't know what the filibuster is. I've told you all over and over. It's just cock blocking. OK, that's all. Any attempt to block or delay Senate action on a bill or other matter by debating it at length, by offering a bunch of procedural motions and other delaying or obstructive actions so all you have to do is vote to get rid of the filibuster and the biden administration could get some things done because the filibuster is what is used to

block most of biden's agenda so the economy voting rights police reform all of that could be passed if they got rid of the filibuster why because the democrats have a majority that depends on a tie-breaking vote from one Vice President Kamala Harris. OK, if they got rid of the filibuster, they could pass legislation without Republicans. Well, I played y'all audio of GOP lawmakers caught on tape laughing and thanking Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema for keeping the filibuster alive. Because if because without that, they would be dead meat. Their words, not mine. Listen again in case you missed it. But the reality is they are pushing as far as they can.

Fortunately for us, the filibuster is still in effect in the Senate. Without that, we would be dead meat. Then we'd be having a little bit more frantic discussion than we're having today. But thank goodness for Sinema and Joe Manchin. I like it when AOC is going after Joe Manchin. This is great for me. You know, it makes my job easier as a conservative because, you know, I can go to Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema and be like, hey, guys, you know, and I'm really sorry you're having to go through that. That's just a shame.

GOP lawmakers thanking Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sin cinema for helping them okay now if all that joe manchin still believes he can't imagine a world where he would support a carve out the filibuster rules this is him on state of the union yesterday with jake tapper listen is there any circumstance under which you could imagine allowing a carve out for the i know you oppose getting rid of the filibuster but there's some people like uh angus king of maine who's an independent uh who said that he's possibly willing to step back from the filibuster his opposition to getting rid of the filibuster just for voting rights because he's so concerned and it becomes it's become so partisan can you imagine ever doing that jake i can't imagine a carve-out

jesus christ not even a carve-out not even a carve-out? Not even a carve-out for voting rights? Can we get an explanation? Because I was here in 2013 when it was called a carve-out. We're just going to do the cabinet for the president, and then it went into we're going to do the judges who are lifetime appointments for circuit and district. They were even going to do Supreme Court, but they didn't at that time. The Democrats were in control. 2017, Mitch McConnell's in control, comes right back in, and guess what?

That carve-out worked to really carve us up pretty bad. Then you got the Supreme Court. So there's no stopping it. We just need a carve-out to protect voting rights. Voting rights, the cornerstone of democracy, we can't get a carve-out for that. See, this is why just voting Democrat doesn't always mean progress, okay? Joe Manchin is willing and able to block his party's progress. And for what? Because he's not beholden to the Democratic Party. His political brand isn't hitched to the Democratic wagon. He's a senator.

Okay, and GOP leading West Virginia, a very red state. He's not giving that up for you Negroes. All right. Salute to West Virginia, by the way. Tudor's biscuit world. Dropping the clues box for Tudor's biscuit world. My God. Amazing.

Who cares if you Negroes is mad, okay? Joe Manchin knows where his white bread is buttered. Apologies. He doesn't want butter. He wants mayonnaise. Let me do that again. Joe Manchin knows where his white bread is mayonnaise. And it's not with you Negroes and you Negro lovers, okay?

Here's the thing. I just will never understand why anyone who claims to be a patriot, who claims to be a proud citizen of the United States of America, isn't trying to fight like hell to preserve what is the cornerstone of democracy. Free and fair elections are what democracy is all about. So if you love America like you say you do, you would fight like hell so folks can have the right to vote. Well, I can guarantee you this. If Joe Manchin's people's voting rights were threatened, he would be acting like it. It would be a totally different sense of urgency in regards to protecting voting rights but it's just mostly you negro so who cares okay if that's not the case joe manchin has to show me that's not the case but hey i've been alive long enough

to know that when a person consistently shows you who they are believe them when something changes if something changes if joe manchin starts doing the right thing by this democracy, I will let you know. Until then, please let Remy Ma give Joe Manchin the biggest. He he he he he. You stupid mother. Are you dumb? Mm hmm. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Yes, ma'am. Now, when we come back, we have Dr. Muhammad joining us. He's a professor at Howard University. She's going to talk about social justice. You don't want to say her first name?

Bahia. Bahia. Bahia. It's Bahia. Dr. Bahia Muhammad. Dr. Bahia Muhammad. Yeah, shout out to her. Bahia Muhammad.

She's going to talk about social justice week at Howard University, which is this week. Starts today. Yep, starts today. So we're going to talk to her when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building, Dr. Bahia Mohammed. Welcome. Thank you. Peace, queen. How are you?

I'm good. Peace. I am well excited to be here. Now, listen, he's going to hate on you already. I am not going to hate on you. Uh-oh. I am not. Wait.

What, what? Tell me a little bit more why. I'm not going to hate on you. Okay. Look at the signage. You see the sign right there? You don't see the sign? You don't see the sign?

I'm not going to hate on you. You know, sister. You know, you represent, you know, a nice school, you know what I mean? But I'm just, you know, I love I love all HBCUs is all really, really good. I'm so excited to see that. I love it. I love it all. Wait a minute. Let me get right. OK, well, tell them who you are. What's your what's your title and everything? Dr. Bahia Mohammed. I'm an associate professor at Howard University in the Department of Sociology and Criminology, College of Arts and Sciences.

I've been there for about eight years. I absolutely love it. It's the first experience teaching at an HBCU. So you already know, loving on the students, black excellence. I mean, it just doesn't get any better. I agree with you. And you're the founding. I've never even heard of something like this,

but you're the founding director for Howard University's higher education in prison programming? Yes. Okay, what is that? Taking students into facilities. I teach criminal justice. So for me, I think you need to really get close to it in order to really understand. So I teach the classes inside of the prison. Half of the students are incarcerated. The other half are matriculated at the university. And we read the same things and

really try to identify ways that we can love on those in our families that are incarcerated, but also to support around social justice initiatives. What does criminal legal reform really mean? And what actually can you do if you're not intimate with the system if you've never entered a facility how have you mastered it even if you pay for the degree so really trying to get students to understand you have to be a whole lot more focused than just the books and you have to be intimate with the experience and if you don't start in your own family you may get it wrong out there trying to do the right things that's real that's like an eloquent way of like alonzo in training day when he gave Hoyt the drugs

and he was like a good narcotic detective must know and appreciate narcotics. That's exactly it. That's exactly it. How important are HBCUs to our community? HBCUs are the community. You know, when I think about D.C., Howard University is Chocolate City, right? Like, as we think about gentrification and we think about the different ways in which communities are configured, HBCUs are those campuses where you're getting it hot off the press, you know?

Like, this is not that type of, you know, research instructors that are, you know, coming in and asking any sort of question in order to check a box. Like you have individuals that strategically can write these different questions in ways that get at the heart of what's going on. And these are your instructors and they look like you, deans with braids and locks and, you know, students from across the African diaspora. So many individuals feel that blackness is just one thing and it is so dynamic. I never even knew that there was a place like an HBCU where you could really just get loved on in your mind, in your soul, in your heart. If I have students that come to me and say, look, I can't do that assignment. My brother was shot last week. Like, I don't need the evidence. I don't need to

ask any more questions, baby. take your time. When you're ready to write, we'll get back to it. Very different than what you see at predominantly white institutions. I think there's a space for both. But to have that HBCU experience is something that connects individuals in ways that is intangible. You can't touch it. It's something you feel. I'm so interested in the HEP program. Did Howard give you any pushback when you presented the idea to have students live inside of the prison?

Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Let me tell you, I wanted to go to Howard specifically because when I looked at the landscape of what was going on, there weren't a lot of black and brown folks going in where black and brown folks are

incarcerated. So for me, it was just like, Dag, how do we get to the point where we begin to engage in real talk conversations? The brother always comes home. The uncle comes home. We go to the cookouts. We all chill and we all excited, but we never sit down and break bread in terms of what's going on. My research is on children of incarcerated parents. So for me, I started there at Howard, and I really connected it to my data and expertise and said, you know, after 10 years of research, the children of incarcerated parents have questions,

and these are the questions that I feel like we can create the next generation of social ambassadors by having them see what's going on so that they could really come up with solutions and you shouldn't have to be incarcerated in order to see that side. You should be able to see it in this way. The university embraced it at the time. Our current president was the provost. And so it was dope when he just crossed over. I said, Alhamdulillah, I was just excited, you know, at that that feat. I knew that there were going to be legal ramifications. I knew that there were going to be issues.

But for me, going down to D.C. from Jersey, New York area was like, I got to do this at an HBCU. And so I went to Howard specifically for this. You actually you don't just take them to the prison. They live in the prison. Did I read that right? Sleep in prison. The students. Seven days. Yes, seven days course curriculum. They lived in the facility for seven days. With other inmates? With other. The facility was running regular. This facility was where Martha Stewart was incarcerated.

They call it Cupcake Prison. So let's contextualize, right? Like let's contextualize. Beautiful mountains. Was it righteous? Not righteous, right? They're not letting you go into the city. But for me, what I wanted the students to see is that the prison industrial complex does not live everywhere.

And so when you think about white collar criminals, you could go and sleep at the facility. You could have a sleepover. You know what I mean? Like that's a different concept. And the students, you know, they gave me pushback. They like, Doc, we try to go to the hood, you know. And I was just like, we know that. Let's see some things that we don't know. Let's see where they have a firefighter program, right? Where if there are not enough individuals in the community to put out a fire, the individuals that are incarcerated get suited and booted and they go out and they do the work of the community. But when you talk about individuals that are black and brown and disenfranchised, you stuck ASL. You're not making that sort of thing.

There may not even be programming. So it really opened the eyes for the students, and I wanted them to see the climax between the data. I had them reading for 15 weeks about the curriculums and what was going on, and when they went, it was the opposite. The data says that these children are nothing. They're going to amount to the mistake that their parents made. And they saw phenomenal youth, beautiful, young, you know, invigorated individuals that was like, yo, I'm going to HBCU. Like I'm about to get a PhD. I

know there were majors where I could talk about my own mother and my life experience. So for me, I think it was able to wake the students up for them to see. We stayed seven days. We went in and out of the facility. The best part for me was where the incarcerated women had an opportunity to sleep next to their babies for the first time. So I created it where the Howard students, ASB, you know, Alternative Spring Break, it's an HBCU thing. They got to decorate the visiting hall and they got to see what it was like for parents to parent during prison. That doesn't happen, right? Like call, mail and visits, but we all know that ain't parenting, right? So like it really woke the students up. And that was really my first chance at radical pedagogy of just pushing the envelope. Like, let me see how far I could,

you know, take it it and then I really wanted to see what was going to happen with the students and now seven years later they're in phenomenal positions like they are movers and shakers it has changed their lives in ways that like that was a dream come true so so what what are you what were you hoping that they they learned from I wanted them to learn that we are all human and that I don't care if you pay $40,000, $100,000 for a degree. You're not an expert in an experience that you haven't touched and felt. That's a fact. Right.

That's a fact. We got more with Dr. Bahia Mohammed when we come back. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Dr. Muhammad Charlamagne.

I know that you chose to implement State of Emergency, Tamika Mallory's book as a as required reading for your social justice course. Why that book? You know, when I think about the movement now, when I think about all of the students, there was a cry for an answer. And a lot of the students, you know, were looking at historical pieces, looking at a movement in retrospect. State of emergency is now. It's happening now. Like it's real. It's contemporary. It's right. You know, it's it's a contemporary social justice movement. And I also wanted them to understand that knowledge is everywhere and you don't have to have an acronym behind your name in order to be respected and understood. And State of Emergency did that. I wanted to have a book in the class that I teach in the community. So you have formerly incarcerated, currently incarcerated, detained youth, senior citizens, veterans, a variety of individuals taking the class. I wanted to have

something that could bring us all together. And that book, it did that. That's Tamika Mallory's book, if y'all don't know. Do you think state of emergency should be required for like all social justice curriculum? Absolutely. Are you kidding me? The conversation was live. Like, I mean, the students, first of all, we started off just talking about the beginning. You know, the conversation, Cardi B, Angela Davis. Like, you've got to stop. Like, I just got excited because, like, where would you see that?

Like, when would you? And the good thing about it was the students was holding that in the entire time. Like that would have never been a conversation that I could have ever had in my class, even if I played a clip of music. Right. Like how would I have ever merged those two? That intersectionality would have never happened. So to start with, that was wonderful. And I think a lot of the students started to think like, wow, you can be beautiful and on the front lines, you could be super dope and dressed in these sort of ways.

One of my students said, you know, when I got into the movement, I thought that I had to leave my ghetto behind. And once she read the book, she says she learned that you bring all that you have because the people need everything and they need to see all type of people. So there was strategy in the book. I think a lot of the students also talked about love and commitment. So I could see this in a sociology and criminology. I could see it in the humanistic social sciences. I could see it in an art and activism, you know, class. I could see it across the band because it gives individuals a starting space and the

language that's used is just real like it's raw it's real and the way you're able to dig in it almost reads like a it it almost reads like a soundtrack wow yeah yeah that's interesting i mean and i it's just that blows my mind because that's more important than any list or anything. The fact that state of emergency is a part of a curriculum at an HBCU. You know what I mean? That's what books are about to me. Now you're

doing Social Justice Week, Howard University Social Justice Week, August 2nd through the 6th. What is that? We're launching it. Oh man, we are working on a huge initiative. August 2nd to the 6th, a full week, a full week of bringing HBCUs across the nation, communities of individuals together to talk about strategies and the injustices in the system. And so we have, you know, a lineup day one where we're going to be talking about police and perceptions. We're going to go into corrections and mass incarceration. We are going to move into the injustices as it

relates to homicides and, you know, death by incarceration. We're going to hear from mothers of the movement. We have a son of Howard, HBCU grad, the mayor, Roz Baraka, coming to bless us about refunding the people. Like, what does that look like? So we have all of these heavy hitters. Of course, the queen, Tamika Mallory, talking about the book, Until Freedom. So we have a huge just lineup of individuals that are, you know, being able to say, Howard University is here, right?

Like, we're not playing. And we want everybody, right? Like, we want all HBCUs. We want all students. We want all hands on deck. We have to look at this seriously. We are in a state of emergency. Like that's facts. How can people get more information on it? Website www.howard.edu black backslash social justice consortium. I'm also on Instagram. Dr. Muhammad underscore experience.

I'm posting all week. I have everything just kind of lined up. It's going to be a lot. They could Google it and say Howard university social justice week. It'll pop up. Registration is live. Now it is free. We want everyone.

There's no maximum. You don't have to be anybody. You can be whomever, right. Interested or not in the movement and sign up and come and participate. Well, Dr. Muhammad, thank you for joining us. Absolutely. Make sure y'all check out Howard University Social Justice Week, August 2nd through the 6th. Yes.

And then a couple of months, then a couple of weeks later, then you could go to homecoming. Right, right, right. Do that first. This is a prerequisite. Prerequisite to homecoming. Thank you for that. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Do that first. This is a prerequisite. Prerequisite to homecoming. Thank you for that. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Rumor, rumor. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. All right. But now it's Cassidy versus Tory Lanez.

So Cassidy has some issues with Tory Lanez stealing his flow. Now he put up an Instagram video where he compared Tory Lanez's lyrics with his own. And he said that Tory Lanez stole his flow in this instance and back in 2017 when he rapped over Nas and the Braveheart's Uchi Wally beat. shot in his face. I got more change than you got in my couch. And the next cast scream my name gonna get shot in the mouth. But didn't Tori say Cassidy was like

his favorite rapper and he was paying homage? Yeah, Tori said you were one of my favorite rappers, Cass. What's the problem? I guess this is what happens when you try to pay homage.

The first freestyle I shouted your name out because you did inspire me. The second one I went on your beat. It's just sad how you old M-words be mad at the young M-words

for not showing love. When we do, we get responses like this Well Cassidy did not feel the same And here's what he had to say in a freestyle diss track called perjury You can't pay homage biting off a nigga too Dog you bit off way too much this shit you I'm getting sick of you coach of vultures

Yo I hope you brung a gun cause my youngest son big as you It's difficult to win when way that he wants to feel. But, I mean, isn't this the way artists have always paid homage? That's how Hov always paid homage to Big. You know, but you know, people said Hov was biting too. So I don't know. Maybe Cassidy got a point. I don't know.

I wish everybody well. Yeah, Cassidy had said during a recent interview with Hip Hop Uncensored, he said, I feel disrespected that he feel like just because he's an artist with some songs out there him rapping to my beat like i should feel privileged like i should feel like he's doing something for me like i should feel grateful f out of here he said and where's been rapping to my beats i've been doing this is way before you came around i don't give a f about you rapping to my beat pay him it's for real you know what's interesting this is kind of like what young blue was upset about too right he just wanted tori to give him credit so i guess if you're gonna do just wanted Tori to give him credit.

So I guess if you're going to do that, you just got to give Cassidy more credit, I guess. But he said he did. He even shouted him out. Oh, yeah, during the freestyle. Yeah, I don't know, man. I don't know. All right. It looks like Nelly and his longtime girlfriend, Chantel Jackson, have broken up.

Now, somebody posted on her page, are you and Nelly still together? I love seeing you guys together. And she said, no, we're not just friends. And they've been together for over six years. And they haven't posted each other on social media since January. People really pay attention to these things. So, yeah. And the baby has been dropped from Lollapalooza's

lineup. You know, it was over the weekend. And right beforehand, a few hours before he was supposed to be on that stage, they did drop him. They said Lollapalooza was founded on diversity, inclusivity, respect and love. With that in mind, the baby will no longer be performing at Grand Park tonight. Young Thug's performance will now take place at 9 p.m. on the Bud Light Seltzer stage. And G Herbo will perform at 4 p.m. on the T-Mobile stage.

Now, in response, the baby posted this clip of Damon Dash. Fearlessness to be first, you know, to not move with a crowd, to move alone, you know, and you get scrutinized by people that do move with a crowd because they got to make you look bad to make themselves look good. It's all part of the game. You know, I see an interesting conversation starting about how these festivals and corporations don't sever ties with rappers when they talk about, you know, killing people, celebrating gang culture, celebrating the drug culture, violence against women, disrespecting women. But this is where they draw the line.

So it's clearly okay for us to degrade each other but not anyone else. And I wonder whose job it is to change that. If these companies and festivals drew the line against us and stopped allowing artists who do that to perform, would the artists change their content? I just wonder. Yeah, but who does that? How do they decide which one is okay and which one is not? That doesn't seem correct. Yeah, but who does that? Like, how do they decide

which one is okay and which one's not? That doesn't seem correct. Yeah. Is it just me? I think a lot of it has to do with sponsors and advertisers, too.

But that's why I say I wonder whose job it is to change that, right? Because right should be right and wrong should be wrong. So I just, you know, I wonder, you know, if they stopped allowing artists

who do those things we just mentioned to perform, would the artists change their content? I just wonder. Well, on the positive side of things, congratulations to DaBaby and Danny Lay. I guess we all knew she was pregnant with his baby, but she confirmed it. She posted a pregnant picture of herself and put hashtag the biggest, as did he. So congrats to the two of them.

How does that confirm it? Because he posted the same hashtag. No, I don't know. I'm school me. I don't know. The biggestats to the two of them. How does that confirm it? Because he posted the same hashtag. No, I don't know. I'm school me. I don't know. The biggest. And he posted it also. Oh, he posted the picture? No, the hashtag. Huh? Yes, the hashtag the biggest. Ollie's artists say they the biggest.

The biggest? Yeah, Rick Ross says that all the time. It could be Lotto's too. They all say the biggest. You guys, she's pregnant by the baby. You sure that's the baby's baby? I mean, yeah, pretty much. They were dating and then I don't know if they still are or not, but she's pregnant now.

And so I feel like everybody kind of knew she was pregnant by the baby. Is this the first time y'all hearing that? I've never heard. I mean, I don't know. I don't be paying no attention. You never heard that before? You didn't know they were dating? I've never heard that before.

All right. And Lamar Odom has to pay $380,000 in child support after a judge ruled that he hasn't paid a cent of support in over a year. So in all, that is $91,000 in outstanding child support, $88,000 in missed rent, $161,000 for the college funds and expenses, and nearly $40,000 for her legal fees and expenses. So he also didn't show up for a key hearing in the case, even though they gave him notice as well. But he will be fighting 53-year-old Riddick Bowe in a celebrity boxing match. So that's going to be happening also. Why are they doing that, man?

Need the money, man. Yeah, but don't do that. See how the bills you got to pay? God damn. That's going to be happening October 2nd. They don't have a union for boxers? I don't think he's a boxer. I'm talking about Riddick Bowe.

Oh. Did you see the video Riddick Bowe did when he was looking for somebody to fight? Like, Riddick Bowe didn't look like he was in no fighting condition, man. My goodness. Like, come on, man. You think that Lamar Odom's going to beat him? Yes. Go look at the video of Riddick Bowe and you tell me.

All right. And Terry Kennedy. You guys know famous skateboarder Terry Kennedy. He's facing homicide charges potentially now. He allegedly attacked a man in an Illinois motel. That man is Josiah Cassehune, who's also a skateboarder.

And apparently he has now died from those injuries. According to a police spokesperson, Terry Kennedy told the cops, I will kill one of you police. We kill police where I'm from. They're not sure what prompted this alleged motel attack, but based on social media, it appears at one point the two of them were friends. Yikes. Yeah.

So very, you know, unfortunate situation. We'll keep you guys updated on what's happening with that. Remember he had the Fly Society clothing line and music brand also? Yep. And he was on a Bob Derrida show, Fantasy Factory, and all of that. All right, well, that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee.

Jalen has been out here on the front line saying that college players should be paid for years. I'm talking about years, years, years, years, years. And people used to be kind of like getting at him a little bit like he was crazy. But, I mean, you know, clearly he was right. That's right.

And also shout out to Dr. Bahia Mohammed. She's a professor at Howard University. And this is Social Justice Week at Howard University. So she stopped through earlier today as well. That's right. And salute to Dr. Bahia Muhammad, man, for adding state of emergency, how to win in the country we built by Tamika Mallory to her curriculum. That's that's that's major. You know, that's more important to me than any sales or book list or anything like that. The fact that it's going to be a part of Howard University curriculum for years to come, that's incredible. Absolutely.

Well, you got a positive note? I do, and it's simple. I have no energy for hate. I really don't. I either love you, wish you well, or hope you heal. I'm sending healing energy to everyone on this fine Monday morning. Breakfast Club, bitches! Y'all finished or y'all done?
