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.
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.

After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast

their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

It's Monday.
Yes, it's Monday.
Back to the work week.
Word is born.
I'm a little tired tonight.
This morning.
This morning.
You ain't going tonight.
This morning.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't even know.
Because I stayed up late last night because I was watching my Uncensored on TV One.
I actually started watching TV yesterday at 7.
I was watching part two of the Aaron Hernandez special.
Okay.
Then I watched my Uncensored on TV
Then I stayed up to watch the season finale of The Chi
So needless to say
I'm sleepy right now
My goodness
But if you have not seen that Aaron Hernandez special
Lord have mercy
I didn't see part 2 yet
And I didn't finish Chi
I fell asleep on the Chi
Let me tell you Aaron Hernandez was a
Allegedly gay Gang banging Finished shy, fell asleep on the shy. Well, let me tell you, Aaron Hernandez was a allegedly gay, gang-banging, serial killer, NFL player with CTE.
Yes, that's right.
Jesus Christ.
He checked off all the boxes.
All the boxes.
I don't know how to feel about that, though.
Like, I don't know what the point of that special was.
Other than it being tragically entertaining, I don't know what they was trying to get off with that special.
Well, does the family
get money off the special
somehow, some way, maybe?
I have no idea.
And it didn't make me feel
any sympathy for them, I guess.
I don't know.
I don't know what
was the point of that special.
Maybe they was just trying
to clean up his name
a little bit,
you know what I mean?
Because he got kids
and they don't want the kids
to think that their daddy
was just some psychopath.
Right.
You know, so maybe that's
where the whole CTE
and everything came into play. But I don't know what the point of that special was other than it was tragically entertaining. some psychopath. Right. You know, so maybe that's where the whole CTE and everything came into play.
But I don't know what the point of that special was,
other than it was tragically entertaining.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
Well, shout out to everybody again from Hampton University.
I spoke at Hampton University over the weekend.
And then yesterday, or Saturday, I should say, I was in Chicago.
Now, I haven't been to Chicago in 10 years.
You go to Chicago yesterday and don't watch the season finale of The Shies.
I know.
I hit Lena Waithe.
I was looking for the bodega that I could actually take
the picture with, but she didn't hit me back and let me know
where it was. I wanted to take a picture out there.
I just need to ask somebody. I'm sure people in Chicago
know. Like, yo, where the bodega
that little dude got killed at
in The Shot? But I wanted to speak to her because I wanted
to make sure I could go in that area and take a picture.
I didn't want to go in the area to be a war zone.
Oh, listen. How do you know Lena
got the pass for you? I was asking. Lena might be getting the pass to be in there. You're, listen. How you know Lena got the pass for you?
I was asking.
Lena might be getting the pass to be in there.
You're right,
but I was just going to ask her.
I wanted to know.
All right.
But shout out to everybody
in Chicago.
I had a great time.
It was St. Patrick's Day
Saturday,
so it was ram-packed.
I ran into Safari.
Safari came to my club
over the weekend.
Safari was in Chicago
celebrating St. Patrick's Day?
He had a show

Yeah, y'all a couple.
Yeah, that ain't normal. Well, he had a show. Y'all? He had a show, and he's booked up. Yeah, y'all a couple. Yeah, that ain't normal.
Well, he had a show.
Y'all just randomly have a...
First of all,
what Negroes get booked
for St. Patrick's Day events?
Ain't no black people
should be getting a book
for no St. Patrick's Day events.
My last name is Casey,
so they booked me immediately.
My last name is McKelvey,
and I still ain't never got
booked for no St. Patrick's Day event.

I'm not for uptown records.
How was y'all?
Original beige God.

She is not here, and I'm not prepared because I thought she would be here.
Oh, we got a guest this morning, too.

You were so confident with that.
Judge Faith Wright.
Judge Faith Jenkins will be joining us next time.
Judge Faith Jenkins.
Hello.
Good morning.
And also, we have a new family member joining us this morning from Killin, Texas.

I didn't say Killin Mall.
I said Killin.
You said Killin Mall.
Oh, Kylan.
Kylene.
Kylene.
Yes.
We're all over the place this morning.
Thank you, Kylene, Texas.
Thank you for putting this little ghetto-ass, trash-ass show on in the morning.
We appreciate you.

Shout out to you guys. When we come back. 85
markets and growing. That's right. When we come back, we got
front page news. Powerball ticket.
Somebody won. Hopefully, as you will tell you about it.
And also, Cirque du Soleil. One of my
favorite things to watch.
Somebody fell to his death. I'll explain it when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Alright, now, NCAA,
I don't know if you guys are watching, but
let me tell you what's going on on the 22nd and 23rd.
22nd, Kansas State takes on Kentucky.
Chicago takes on Nevada.
Florida State takes on Gonzaga.
Michigan takes on Texas A&M.
All right, on the 23rd, which is Friday, Villanova versus West Virginia.
Texas Tech versus Purdue.
Kansas versus Clemson.
And Syracuse versus Duke.
What you got your money on this year?
I don't know what's going on.
I haven't paid attention at all.
Me neither.
What is it?
Is it the Sweet 16 now?
Yes.
Okay.
Well, congratulations to everybody in the Sweet 16.
Clemson is a South Carolina team, but I don't root for Clemson because I'm a University of South Carolina type of guy. Okay. But you know, okay. Well, congratulations to everybody in the Sweet 16. Clemson is a South Carolina team, but I don't root for Clemson
because I'm a University of South Carolina type of guy.
Okay.
But, you know, whatever.
Yeah, I'm going to go with Syracuse.
I mean, I'm a Hampton University guy, but they never go this far.
So, I mean, I'll go with Syracuse because they're from New York.
All right.
Now, Powerball ticket.
One was sold in Pennsylvania, and it was worth $456 million.
Now, the cash value was $273 million.
Could you imagine winning that?
I thought about it on Saturday because as soon as I left the gym,
I went and actually went and played.
Did you get any numbers at all?
I don't know.
What were the numbers?
22, 57, 59, 60, 66, and the Powerball was number seven.
I see all these numbers on my ticket, but they're not in the order I need to win.
I do have the Powerball.
Which means not in the order. Oh, you mean the order have the Powerball. What do you mean not in the order?
Oh, you mean.
Because I got a 22 on here somewhere.
I played five numbers.
So I got a 22 in one number, a 57 in another number.
What was the other number you named?
59, 60, 66.
Do you got any Powerball sevens?
I do have the Powerball seven.
All right.
Well, the one with the Powerball seven, you got any of those numbers?
The seven.
What?
27?
You know what?
I'm not messing with you.
I got the Powerball seven, and I got a 27.
There's no 27.
Oh, well. I said 22 and 57. Well, I won $3, nigga.
There you go. That's all I'm trying to tell you this morning. Congratulations to you.
Give him a round of applause. You won the $3. You never know,
alright? $3 is good for something.
Now, Cirque de Soleil, that's
probably one of my favorite shows to take the
kids and watch, but it seems like an acrobat
fell to his death over the weekend.
He was performing in Tampa.
He was doing one of the ring things, they said,
where he was holding on to the ring and he spins up in the air.
He's been with the company for 15 years and they don't know what happened.
He just brutally fell to his death in front of everybody.
It was a live show.
So they rushed him to the hospital, but he didn't make it.
That's got to be traumatizing for people that were there and saw that happen.
Absolutely.
I never understood why they never had anything protective,
like a net under it or anything, a harness.
And I'm sure they got to sign something that says this is all on them
because they got to know the risk that they're taking, right?
Absolutely.
Like, I'm sure that Circus Soleil wouldn't be held responsible
for the deaths of any of the people in the circus.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, and that's your front page news.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Maybe you had a bad weekend and you just want to vent.
Or maybe you had a great weekend and you want to spread some positivity.
Whatever it may be.
800-585-1051.
Get it off your chest.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So you better have the same energy.
Hello, who's this?
This is Ashley.
Hey, Ashley, good morning.
Get it off your chest, mama.
I am very mad at you, DJ Envy.
Why are you mad at me, mama?
I was going to get married in January,
and my sister started emailing you to come and DJ at my wedding.
And we had a budget of, I don't know if you would have done it, but we had a budget of $5,000.
Those babies were sitting on the DJ.
And you did not respond to her at all.
Wow, you need to get new management, Envy.
They just leave a five grand on the table?
Yeah, well, we would have charged more than that.
But we don't do weddings, Mama.
I'm sorry.
We usually don't do weddings. I think I did one in charged more than that. But we don't do weddings, Mama. I'm sorry. We usually don't do weddings.
I think I did one in the last 10 years.
I just don't do weddings.
It's always a lot into doing weddings,
and the time amounted for me to stay is usually what I don't do.
But I'm sorry he didn't get back to you.
He definitely should have got back to you, Mama.
What do you got to play at a wedding?
You only got to play one song at a wedding?
You got to stay there four hours, five hours.
One song?
Well, no, you got to play the reception.
There's a bunch of different things you got to do.
I don't remember what happened.
What is the wedding?
It is.
It was January 20th, so we already got married.
Oh, well, congratulations.
Maybe an anniversary.
I'll DJ anniversary for you guys or something.
But I'm sorry, Mama.
I was drunk at my wedding.
Okay, thank you.
Now that I think about it, my man D-Nice did DJ my wedding, but I don't remember what he did.
What the hell did we pay D-Nice for?
Now that I think about it.
No, I mean, you got gotta DJ the songs that come out
and you gotta DJ the song
with the bride and the dad.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
I only remember
one or two songs.
And then you gotta
play the reception.
Now, you're there
for four or five hours.
That's a lot of time.
So for me to be committed
to that time,
I gotta charge you.
And I can't charge people
like that,
so I just don't do anything.
True.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Jabari
from Detroit.
What's up, bro?
Get it off your chest.
Damn, I just wanna say
it's blessed, man.
We all woke.
I'm a young black man.
No kids.
No criminal record.
Y'all stay up out there.
Get your money up.
Okay, brother.
Why you don't got no criminal record, man?
You ain't trying hard enough.
No, stop it.
No, my parents, I grew up in South Africa.
We was missionaries.
No, I mean, my dad just instilled in me to help everybody every day, bro.
Well, congratulations, sir.
All right, brother.

Hello, who's this?
What's good?
What's good?
Envy, this is Rajon,
New Jersey.
What's up, bro?
Get it off your chest, man.
I'm just mad about
a couple of things.
Go ahead.
My co-worker this morning,
they're not working.
We out here pushing
this waterfall in spring.
Water's heavy.
It's bad out here,
but the real reason
that I'm mad is
I hit a pothole
in my BM.
Oh.
Two cracked rims. Oh. Two cracked rims.
Oh.
Two flat rims on the other side.
It was ugly.
It was ugly.
It could always be worse, sir.
Yeah, it could be worse.
That's why I'm still blessed.
I'm still out here.
To be honest with you, I don't know anything else to say in moments like that.
Whenever things are bad, you're like, it could be worse.
Well, do you got tire insurance, bro?
Nah, I had changed the rough flat to put some regular tires.
You know, I had no spare. I had to leave
my joint in the hood, come back the next day
and get it. That's how you know he had a
1996 BMW then. He said
BMW, but he didn't tell you what year. What year was it?
07, 650.
I got the tire in my pocket. Yeah, nobody
feeling it. He got 11 years old, but it's still
running. That's all that matters. Yeah, it's still running
clean. I keep it clean. There you go.
Yeah, man. I keep it clean. There you go. Yeah, man.
I keep it clean. Hello, who's this?
What's good? Amy, this is Jeff.
What's up, Jeff? Get it off your chest, bro. Oh, yeah.
I'm blessed this morning because it was a great night for TV last night. Can you drop
one of Clues' balls for the shy and
Charlemagne's license at one time? Jeff,
you don't tell us about it, though. You just say it's a good
show. No, no, no, no. I ain't gonna tell
y'all about it. Oh, I saw the shot, brother.
Oh, yeah. I seen both last night. Both of them was good.
But I know Envy ain't see it. I heard him this morning
talking about it. He ain't get to sleep on it.
I'm gonna watch it. I ain't gonna talk about it.
But I'm mad at Revolt, man.
I don't know what's going on with Revolt, man. I talked to y'all
Monday. They ain't air that. I talked to y'all
Friday. They ain't air that, man. What's going on
with Diddy and Revolt? We on the air now.
What it is, when all of us
aren't here, because like Envy and Angelo weren't here,
I was just here. So when all of us not here,
we don't come on Revolt. Y'all was in Virginia Friday.
Alright, alright. I definitely feel that, man.
Y'all have a good day today. Alright, man.
Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us
up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Wake up, wake up.
Wake your ass up.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed,
we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
What's up, Envy? Hey, Trav. What's up, Trav?
Nothing much, nothing much. What's up, Charlamagne?
What's up, sis? How you? How was the weekend?
I'm doing good. Is my boo there yet?
Where you at?
Nah, she late.
She had an event in Puerto Rico last night, a benefit concert, and her flight got delayed.
I saw that.
So she'll be here late, I'm sure.
What's up, dog?
Okay, okay, okay.
I'm just calling to talk about, I'm mad at my cousin, man.
Who's your cousin?
I've been mad.
Her name is Tanisha, and I've been mad at her.
She's from Camden, actually.
What's she doing?
I've been mad at her
For like a good little minute
Because me and all my cousins
Went to go see Black Panther
I remember like
This was about a month ago
Okay
So after Black Panther
She went to like Family Dollar
And bought these t-shirts
And put this little quote on them
With these little ugly letters
And this little ugly iron on African thing, and she's been
selling the t-shirts, right? Mind you, the
t-shirts are only like two bucks, and she's been selling the t-shirts
for like $30. What's wrong with that?
Why you knocking her hustle, Trav?
If it looked like a $30 t-shirt, there's nothing wrong with that.
Trav, why you knocking her hustle?
We're writing on them. Well, people are buying it. They see what
they're buying. No, but she's mad because
she want me to buy them. No, the family's been
buying them because she's been going on a tirade about people not supporting her black business. Well, first mad because she want me to buy, no, the family been buying them because she been going
on a tirade
about people not
supporting her black business.
Well,
first of all,
you should be happy
that she's trying to make a way
coming from Camden,
New Jersey.
That's number one.
And number two,
never claim your family
from Camden,
New Jersey.
There's nothing wrong with her.
Like,
I'm just saying,
don't be,
let me get mad at me
because I don't want to buy
a t-shirt that looks nice.
That's all I'm saying.
Support her black business, Trav.
That's not really a black business, but support her black entrepreneurship.
Thanks, Trav.
She got a little business.
Hello.
Yo, Envy, what up, man?
It's Lorenzo from Brooklyn.
Lorenzo, man.
Get it off your chest.
Yo, what up, Charlamagne?
What's up, my brother?
Everything good with you, right?
She all right?
Yeah, she being a little bit.
You better not talk about the shot.
I know you want to talk about the shot.
Don't tell us about the shot.
Nah, nah, nah. I'm not. I just want to say, man, you know, that in a little bit. You better not talk about the show. I know you want to talk about the show. Don't tell us about the show.
Nah, nah, nah.
I'm not.
I just want to say, man, you know, that was a good season.
You know what I'm saying?
We blessed to have that season.
And, you know, everything that's coming out now, you know,
I need all of the shows to be like that.
I need it to be the things that be unexpected.
I need everything to be nice and fresh, man.
And Charlamagne, yo. Yes.
I have a few ideas, man. I'm trying to get next to you so I can throw some ideas
with you at the wall, you know what I'm saying?
And get your opinion on them. I'm always
down to hear some new ideas, my brother.
Yo, so how do I get in touch
with you one-on-one, you know what I'm saying?
Go to my Instagram and email
the email
in the Instagram bio.
All right.
I got you.
All right, my brother.
I'm going to hit you up.
Look forward to speaking to me, man.
I'm Lorenzo.
Yes, sir.
And the reason all those ideas like the Chi is so fresh is because they're letting young
black creatives actually do their thing and the white people are not getting in the way.
Salute to Lena Waithe, creator of the Chi.
Hey, Stephanie, get it off your chest.
I just want to say that I went to the Salt Bae restaurant on Saturday,
and it was really bad.
It's not worth it.
You went to Salt Bae's restaurant.
What didn't you like?
I didn't like it because I ordered my steak medium well,
and I got it, like, bloody.
It was bad.
Yeah, who eats medium well?
You shouldn't be eating medium well.
When you go to those types of restaurants,
you're supposed to get the texture and taste of a steak.
It should be medium the most.
But would the salt bae throw some salt on your steak or he wasn't there?
No, he wasn't there.
Oh.
That was disappointing.
I ain't going to lie though, man.
No disrespect to Salt Bae.
I just can't go nowhere where his thing is salt.
Like salt has been killing black people for years.
All right?
All right.
I'm sorry he didn't like it.
I mean, the menu's mad small too, right?
Yeah.
It was not worth it. And I love you, Charlie Maine. I have your book. I'm waiting for you't like it I mean the menu's mad small too right Yeah it was not worth it
And I love you Charlamagne I have your book
I'm waiting for you to sign it one day
I will baby we gotta figure that out
Okay I follow you on Instagram
My Instagram is Mildest Stephanie
Alright I'm gonna follow you but you know I'm gonna follow you for as long as I can
Until assault kills you okay
Oh my goodness get it off your chest
800-585-1051
We'll find out who applied for an MMA license.
It might be going down.
We'll tell you about it when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Angela Yee quit?
Is she still working?
Nah, she was in Puerto Rico for a fundraiser,
and she was supposed to get back at 5 a.m.
But the flight was delayed.
So she should be landing in the next 10 minutes and then bringing her ass to work.
I doubt it.
All right, but let's get into the rumor report.
Lil Xan, he's running.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor report.
Rumor report.
This is the rumor report.
Talk to him.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, Lil Xan pissed off a lot of people last week when he said Tupac's music was boring.
Hmm.
Boring music.
He said it was boring music, and then he said that the press, the media, they kind of mixed up his words.
The media twisted my words.
I think Tupac is a legend.
Tupac is definitely a legend.
They just twist your words, and they want you to hate me. Don't hate me.
Positivity.
I don't care if Lil Xan thinks that Tupac's music
is boring because music is subjective.
What I disagree with and why he got donkier today
is because he gave Tupac a 2
on the clout scale. If you know what clout is,
that's power, influence. There's nobody
more influential than Tupac Shakur.
He was in California over the weekend,
and some high school students didn't like what he had to say.
Chased his ass right up out of there.
Like, he had to run to the police, like, please get me out of here.
See, there's a bunch of little kids who was in the house
and riding in the car with their parents while they was playing Tupac,
keep your head up, and Tupac, dear mama, and Tupac, I ain't mad at you.
And they know the importance of Tupac.
There was no physical fight, but he ran fast.
He ran to a YMCA, and this is why he said he ran.
They're saying I am a p***
for the police escorting me away
from a group of 20 people that wanted to jump me.
You can call me a p*** all you want.
I am not a gang-banging rapper.
Am I supposed to act hard?
Am I supposed to not p*** with the police because I'm a rapper?
Oh, wait, I have to, huh?
Because that's what cool rappers do, right?
Dropping the clues bombs for Lil Xan.
I mean, he's absolutely right.
Yeah?
You know.
He said, I'm not about that life.
Hey, 911, what's your emergency?
They're about to jump me.
It's not like he running around here acting like he's Tekashi 69.
That's true.
Okay, acting like he can't get touched. Tekashi69
cannot run from anybody. No, he can
hear a police escort. Lozan can. Right.
He sure did. Now, let's talk Floyd
Mayweather. Now,
it was rumored that he applied for an
MMA license and was ready to fight.
And they caught up with him and they asked him about it.
This is what he had to say. Did your team apply for
an MMA license to fight? Not yet.
Not yet. But everything takes time.
Eventually, we're going to apply for the license and hopefully we can fight.
Okay, they said it might take you about three months training.
I mean, I know you train hard.
It probably needs a little bit longer, a little bit longer, a little bit longer.
Even if it takes six to eight months, whatever it takes,
we want to make sure that everything is done correctly
and everything is done the right way.
If Floyd Mayweather don't say this 41-year-old ass, if you're worth over $500 million and you're 41 years old,
why do you want to get in the MMA ring?
I don't know.
Either two things are happening here.
One, Floyd needs the money.
He's having some type of money problems and he needs the money.
Two, the fight will be rigged because if they was really doing MMA, McGregor would wash Floyd Moneymaker. Maybe we'll see that.
Wash him. I thought about the money
situation too, but he's been buying to me like he just
bought a jet, he just bought a new crib. If the money
was crazy, he would stop. You can't be that boy
that 41 years old. I laid on the couch
all day yesterday and my knee
was hurting. I don't even know why.
I wasn't even doing nothing. I was sitting there reading a book.
I'm reading Michael Bennett's Things That Make White People
Uncomfortable. I'm reading the book, and my knee was just hurting.
I had to go take a nap because my knee was hurting.
You had to take a nap because your knee was hurting.
Exactly.
You know.
I know.
Now, he also talks about his fighting skills.
You know, my wrestling game is not that bad.
On a scale of from 1 to 10, I would say it's probably a 7.
And I think we can take it up to, like, a 9.
Of course, my hand game is, on a scale from 1 to 10, it's a 100.
And a kicking game, on a scale from 1 to 10, it's probably a 4.
So we have to tweak a few things then, take things to that next level.
Same way McGregor looked like an amateur in the boxing ring,
Floyd Mayweather will look like an amateur in the MMA ring.
I don't care if he trains for eight months to a year.
It's just a different ballgame.
But you'll watch it. No, I won't. You're not going to watch it? I mean, maybe. I don't care if he trains for eight months to a year. It's just a different ballgame. But you'll watch it. No,
I won't. You're not going to watch it? I mean, maybe.
I'm going to watch it. Because I want to see Floyd Mayweather really
get his ass kicked. That's about it. But they're not
going to let Floyd Mayweather get his ass kicked. The fight's going to be rigged.
It's like they didn't let McGregor really get his ass
kicked. If you watch that fight now,
watch it in slow motion. A lot of
pulled punches from Floyd Mayweather Jr.
against Conor McGregor. They ain't want to hurt him too bad.
A lot of pulled punches against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor. They ain't want to hurt him too bad. A lot of pulled punches against Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor.
Just go back and watch it.
All right.
And lastly, April 7th.
April 7th.
Write that down on your calendar.
That's Charlamagne Tha God day in Columbia, South Carolina.
Well, Cardi B is going to be performing on Saturday Night Live.
Okay.
April 7th.
Also, special guest is Chadwick Boseman.
South Carolina's own Chadwick Boseman.
Drop on the clues box for Chadwick Boseman and Cardi B.
So April 7th.
Salute to Cardi B.
Make sure you tune in Saturday night.
Somewhere right now eating the chopped cheese.
I think she's eating Chick-fil-A actually right now.
I just saw her tweet that.
Chick-fil-A?
That Offset bought her some Chick-fil-A, but there's nothing like chopped cheese or something.
Chopped cheese on a bagel.
What y'all New Yorkers be eating?
Chopped cream cheese?
Chopped cheese, man.
What's the thing called?
Chopped something. Chopped meat and cream cheese? Chopped cheese, man. What's the thing called? Chopped something.
Chopped meat and cheese.
I don't know, man.
All I know is it ain't nothing better than Chick-fil-A
with a chicken, egg, and cheese biscuit from Chick-fil-A, okay?
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
Now, when we come back, we have a judge in the building,
Judge Faith Jenkins.
We'll kick it with her next hour, all right?
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela
Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast
Club, and we got a special guest in the
building, Judge Faith
Jenkins. Good morning, Your Honor. Hi. Good morning.
Good morning. How are you? Thank you all for having me. I'm
great. Now, the first thing when I saw you on the schedule,
I said, this young lady gonna have, she gonna
make so much money in the future because she's a nationally
syndicated judge, and they make a lot
of money. That is money. Judge Judy does.
She is the standard.
So if I can get to like
a fraction of what Judge Judy does,
I'd be very happy.
How many years now?
Judge Judy? Oh, like almost 20 years.
Wow. Yeah, she
court left and then they found
Judy. Judy was a judge here
in New York and they found her
and she brought the court back.
So she was the only judge show on the air
when she started and
she built an audience based on that.
And when she started getting these great ratings, that's when they
ran out and got Judge Mathis and
Judge May Blee and put them on the air.
I love all of that. Is that stuff real or is
it fake? It's real. These are real cases.
Yeah. Real cases. Real. They're real cases.
Real cases.
We find them.
People have filed lawsuits across the country.
So we go in.
We have runners that go into courts and read the case files and make copies and send them
to our producers.
And then we call people and say, hey, would you like, instead of court in New York hearing
your case, why don't you come on the show?
We'll pay for your airfare.
You come on and let Judge Faith hear your case.
And do you get to be on there
also? Do you get a fee? There's a small
appearance fee, but
the decision is actually binding.
So they agree to binding arbitration.
If the plaintiff has to pay $500,
does the TV company take care of it or no?
Hell no. You trying to give me
all our secrets today?
When I first saw the name Judge Faith,
I thought you was like a religious judge.
Like you did like spiritual court or something like that.
Spiritual court?
Oh, you know, that's interesting.
But no, no.
It's just regular small claims court.
All kinds of cases.
Now walk me through it because you were a criminal attorney.
Yes.
I didn't go to college.
I don't know nothing about this.
A criminal prosecutor.
How do you go from criminal attorney to judge?
Like walk me through this.
Well, I started out, I was a prosecutor here in Manhattan
in the DA's office and before that
I worked for a really big law firm doing
civil litigation. So
I just had a range of experience and what happened
is the George Zimmerman trial
happened and I covered that case for
all the networks every day.
Like a journalist, news reporter type thing?
As a legal analyst.
Analyzing the case because I just left the DA's
office where I prosecuted
crimes here in the city.
And I always say, once you go to the DA's
office and you learn what really happens
in Manhattan, you never look at the city the same again.
And so they called
me after I did that trial
and said, you know, we saw you on with Al Sharpton
one night and Bill O'Reilly the next
night. If you can handle both of these audiences, we think you probably have broad appeal to do a nationally syndicated court show.
So I never thought about it.
Oh, they came to you.
They did.
They called me.
I never thought about it.
But I said, well, you know, this seems like something interesting that I should look into.
And I watched all the shows.
I love the shows.
Did you have to go for more schooling to be a judge?
Or you already had all the degrees you needed to be a judge?
No, it's just experience.
I had civil and criminal.
And so it was just based on the experience.
What are your thoughts on public defenders?
Having worked with a number of them in the city,
they get a bad rap a lot of times.
But here's the problem.
They're often so overworked.
They have so many cases, such a high caseload.
But every public defender I've worked with has been really dedicated to the cause.
The problem is they are understaffed. They're underpaid.
They are overwhelmed and they don't have the resources of the state behind them.
So it's already set up initially giving the state an unfair advantage because we
have all of these resources to prosecute cases and they just simply don't have the resources.
But when people say, I don't want a public defender, I want a real lawyer. I've heard
people say that. I mean, they are real attorneys and the hardworking, dedicated people, but they
simply don't have the resources and they're so overwhelmed. What do you do when you have 300 cases on your docket?
Can you return all your phone calls?
Like you said, it's meant to lose.
It's an unfair advantage built into the system.
So it's meant for the person to lose because you said the state has all the resources,
but now the public defenders don't.
They simply don't have the time or the resources a lot of times to invest
what they really need to invest in cases,
which is why
I always say there's rich men's justice and poor men's justice. If you can afford to have a dream
team, your chances are, would you, my law school professor asked me this when I was in school,
would you rather be rich and guilty or poor and innocent? Rich and guilty. Because you, you know,
there's so much that you can do when you have money and you can go in
with your dream team and
you have a great advantage in our system.
That's a great point and I wanted to ask you, because
you're a criminal attorney, how do people represent
people they know are guilty? Like, I think of the
movie Devil's Advocate. You ever seen Devil's Advocate? Yes.
Why do people, like, how do you represent somebody you
know is guilty? And I thought about this when I was watching the OJ case
the other night, too. Well, it
goes back to a public defender. Don't you want everyone to have an opportunity to be
represented everyone should have that opportunity right to have representation so are we going to
start deciding well this person is guilty they shouldn't have a lawyer who gets to make that
decision so everyone and so but as an advocate it's our job to simply put forth a case now
personally I was never a criminal defense attorney.
I was a prosecutor.
Right.
When I started, Angela, I thought, I don't want to be a prosecutor because I don't want to lock people up.
Right.
But this is really important because everyone wants to be an activist now.
You have to understand prosecutors are the most powerful players in this system.
If you really want to make a change, you want to make a difference.
They need people with different backgrounds, perspectives.
So it is a change. You want to make a difference. They need people with different backgrounds, perspectives. So it is a job.
You have a duty to give people representation because you don't want to start drawing a line in the sand and say this person deserves it and that person doesn't.
But also people need to understand that a prosecutor's job, that's something you really want to look into if you really want to make a difference is because a lot of times what happens with your case depends on who gets your case.
That's a fact.
You remember Plaxico Burris?
Yes.
He was in New York.
See him all the time.
He got two years and he shot himself.
Right.
Right.
In New York.
We have cases.
I had a 17 year old with a loaded gun.
Whoever gets that case, you have a lot of power and discretion to make decisions about
these cases.
And that's why I say this is a really important job
that people should consider when you're trying to...
So you have the power to offer them a deal.
Yes.
You have the power to recommend a certain sentence.
Yes, sometimes more than judges.
What to charge someone with.
But is that fair?
You know, because let's say you have,
let's say a white prosecutor and attorney
that is not from the same place that these individuals are from
and don't know anything, you know?
Like you said, you were from Harlem,
so you seen what was going around in Harlem.
So you kind of understood a little bit.
So it's kind of scary if you have somebody that doesn't know anything about me, doesn't know about my community and just says, OK, he has a gun.
He's a hoodlum. I'm going to give him four years.
That's why she says it's an important job for people to look into if you want to be an activist.
Well, if you want to make a difference, if you want to make a change, then bring your perspective to the table, have a seat at the table.
And of course, to answer your question, yes, it's scary, but that's what happens.
That's how a 17 year old in New Orleans gets 40 years because someone doesn't have empathy.
Someone doesn't care. And so, yes, it is scary.
I had colleagues who would get that same 17 year old girl who got a probation.
In my case, some of my colleagues would have tried to give her the deal that Plaxico got, because
that was our standard plea agreement if you got
caught with a gun two years.
I agree everybody should have the
right to a lawyer, but sometimes you see some of these crimes
and you're like, why waste taxpayers' money?
Like the guy who shot up Parkland High School?
Absolutely. F.M.
What does he get the right to a fair trial and a lawyer
and all that for? I know.
No, we saw that's a different... Those are scream cases all that for? I know. I know. No, no, no. We saw that's a different.
Those are scream cases like that.
If I take my lawyer hat off for a second, I agree with you.
I'm like, why?
He's 19 years old.
Even if he gets the death penalty, he's going to be in prison for 10 years waiting for that to happen.
Maybe 15 based on the way appeals are and taxpayers are going to pay for it. It just seems
patently unfair. But the Central Park people,
they thought they were guilty. The lady pointed them out.
And if there was no trial... But they deserve
a lawyer. That's different. But see,
the issue is... Right.
That was a whole, you know... It was crazy.
See, here's the problem. Like, when
you start drawing that line
saying, obviously this person
is guilty, he doesn't deserve it.
It's just that line just is going to keep getting moved. And that's why it's just better, you know,
have your representation, have the due process and, and go forward with it. You have to go across
the board with everything. You do, because if your theory happens, the people who will be impacted
the most will be our people. It will be people of color in the system.
And they already have so many
issues stacked up against them
already. So I just,
you know, you just have to stick with
the due process as we
have it set up. Even with the Central Park Five, they did
admit, they confessed to something
but they were forced to do it. Right.
And so imagine you're like, okay,
they said they did it so they don't deserve
a lawyer or anything.
Right.
Exactly.
I understand that,
but I'm talking about
the ones we see visibly.
We didn't, you know,
Central Park Five
was a little sketchy
so that deserves representation.
We didn't do the shooting.
Nobody's seen it.
There's no video.
We didn't say it was.
Go to sleep.
Listen.
But what Judge Faith
is saying is right.
If you're going to do it to,
you have to be across the board
because then they'll say,
well, we saw this,
we saw that,
and maybe, you know, you just have to
I guess, when you set a standard
that standard has to apply to everybody.
We got more with Judge Faith Jenkins
when we come back, we have to discuss
the Zimmerman trial, and what's the craziest
case you had on TV? We'll talk about it
when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have Judge Faith Jenkins in the building.
Charlamagne?
Listen, with the Zimmerman trial, you covered that.
Is there a way to be black and be objective in that situation?
That's a good question.
I can't speak for all black lawyers who spoke out about the case on television, but I was asked to give an opinion on the case.
And so every day when I watched it, I watched the trial.
It didn't matter if I was on Fox News or CNN.
I gave the same opinion.
I didn't change for, you know, the different network that I was on. And it was my legal opinion based on what I was
seeing. And I said on TV, I think that George Zimmerman is guilty and he should be convicted
of this crime. But trials are not about the truth, especially jury trial, because there's
what actually happened. And then there's what you can present in court in trial. Those are two different things in a lot of cases
because jurors won't know a lot of the background. They won't know a lot of information that we knew,
for example, in the Zimmerman trial. So you have to keep that in mind. And attorneys know when
you're doing a jury trial, a lot of times it's about the emotion and you are putting it all out there.
You are acting in front of these jurors and it's it's you know, you're becoming angry and you're making these insinuations.
They won't say it. But, you know, this was a black kid and he was in a hoodie.
What if this was your neighborhood? So a lot of that was going on in the Zimmerman trial and they were in a bubble.
And so I think that my opinion was based on globally what I was hearing and reading about George Zimmerman in that case.
As a criminal attorney, do you see how he got off?
Yes.
What were the holes in the case? more so about implicit bias and fear based on Trayvon being this young kid walking in this neighborhood.
And they were able to plant seeds in some of the jurors' minds that, you know,
you could understand why Zimmerman was afraid when you have been too.
Which is crazy because he didn't seem afraid when he was pursuing him. He definitely didn't seem afraid.
They told him not to and to leave him alone and let him walk.
That doesn't indicate fair to me.
Right.
That indicates that you are fearless.
That was the argument.
That was the state's case.
The reason why the case went to trial was because he followed him and he shouldn't have.
Did you happen to watch that OJ confession last week?
I did not watch it, but I've read about it.
Was it a confession?
Apparently it was a hypothetical.
Yeah, right. That's what people are saying. All right. watching but i've read about it was it a confession the apparently it was a hypothetical but but why would anyone ever think that that was a good idea i don't know like even to put it out there as a hypothetical that's crazy it is crazy you think they should amend the
constitution for double jeopardy laws when it comes to cases like this
you think oj did it? I do.
Duh.
I do, yeah.
Some people don't think it. Some people don't still,
but, I mean,
everything that happened
with his blood
being at the scene
and the glove
and the slow car chase
in L.A.,
the slow speed car chase,
yes, I do.
Were you happy
he got off?
At the time,
I was in Louisiana
at the time.
I was in school.
And I will tell you, that was a case, a trial.
And I wasn't really, I wasn't a lawyer then or anything like that.
Like I said, I was in school.
You were in middle school, right?
No.
I was in college.
What?
No.
Yeah, it was my first year of college.
In 94?
Yes, yes.
Stop looking at her age, man.
Age marks. Yeah, it was my first year of college. In 94? Yes, yes. Stop looking at her age, man. Stop looking at her age. Stop looking at her age.
Her age marks.
And I just remember being in Louisiana, and it was the most racially divided time at my university.
So they brought in TVs to our student union to watch the verdict.
They brought in top class, too.
Yeah, to watch the verdict live.
And all of the black students gathered around on one side
and the white students on the other side.
And it was like what you've seen across America
when the verdict came in.
All the black kids cheered.
And I thought he was innocent at the time.
So I was like, yeah, you know.
And people had this, we won.
For once.
Yeah, for once.
And then later on in life, we realized,
oh, they didn't
give a damn about black people like wait a minute what and i hadn't really followed the case then
you know i was in school so yeah that was pretty divisive at our at our university let's talk about
you because i need to know what your diet is how much water you drink a day because you're 57 years old, clearly. What's happening?
I just drink a lot of Fiji water.
Is that Fiji?
There you go.
There you go.
Just finish that.
You'll be good.
Are you a vegan in any way?
No.
I'm from Louisiana.
I eat everything.
Yeah, you're pork and all.
Pork and everything.
No stress?
Like, what is it?
I mean, I've had a...
Yeah, just...
I try, Angela.
I've always just been like a good student and I go to work and I sleep.
Stop it.
You flew in, Deanna.
I need sleep.
Mystical comes on, shake that ass.
You know about that after Pagano.
Back in my day, I did have a time or two where I, you know.
Sissy Novi comes on, you go crazy.
Now, as a judge on TV, what's the craziest case you've seen so far?
It was a case out of Atlanta.
It was a real, like, filed case in Atlanta
and a guy who walked
into my court looking like a
deacon from church. He had on a suit
and a boutonniere and all this stuff.
He was suing a young lady.
He was probably 50 years old
and he was suing a young lady who was
a 21-year-old college student because
he paid for services.
For sex. Yeah.
And she didn't give it to him.
And so he filed a lawsuit.
He got got.
And he wanted his money back.
He wanted his money back.
And so when I got the write-up, I said, this can't be real.
I must be missing something to this story.
This was a loan, right, that he's suing for or something like that.
No, I went out there.
No.
He's like, I paid her.
I can't remember now, like $250 maybe.
What did you have to reimburse?
What did you have to reimburse?
What did you have to reimburse?
What did you have to reimburse?
What did you have to reimburse?
So that was the craziest case.
Well, A, technically that's a prostitution case, and that is illegal.
But he did pay for services.
But he did pay for services, and he did not get them.
And she could get in trouble, too.
However, she could get in trouble, too.
However, there's a doctrine in court.
We call it the
doctrine of clean hands which means when you come into court you can't sue over an illegal
transaction you can't sue over a bad a drug deal that went bad you didn't get all the stuff you
wanted when you when you when you bought the stuff so you gotta handle that in the streets
like you can't bring it into court so i had to throw it out. But I was just shocked that, A, not only is it court, but it's also on TV. And he had a daughter her age. It was just, I just thought it was
crazy. But yeah, that was our, that was my first season. I've just never gotten over
that.
All right. We have more with Judge Faith Jenkins. When we come back, keep it locked. It's the
Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast
Club. We have Judge Faith Jenkins. Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
We have Judge Faith Jenkins in the building.
Charlamagne?
I'm always interested in how God moves people because you said that you weren't even interested in being a judge.
I wasn't.
So when that seed was planted, what made you be like, hmm?
Well, because, you know, oftentimes I say God's plan for our lives is better than our own because I had my own plan. And when I got this call, I thought that it was a sign that I was supposed to do something bigger than what I was doing.
And, you know, they call me and the show wasn't sold or anything like that.
They just had this idea.
And when it happened, and it just goes to show you when you're doing your job and your work,
you always want to be doing the best you can do because you never know who's watching.
I always say that, yeah.
You never know.
Even if you hate your job, make sure you do a great job at it because you have no idea who is paying attention.
That's right.
And you have no idea where your colleagues are going to end up next.
So you always want to, A, do great work and treat people right.
Absolutely.
What's your passion?
Overall, at first, I love the law.
So anything I do that's law related is great. And
I love the show because we help a lot of people. I mean, we if you watch, we have fun, we laugh,
we cry. But we also help a lot of people because they come on the show and $800 may not be a
significant amount to some people. But to some people come on the show, it's all the money they
had and they were cheated out of it. So we have people who come on the show who've never been on an airplane before.
We fly them out and it's an experience.
My show is not just about the law.
I'm passionate about the law, but we do so much more than that.
We help a lot of people.
And then beyond that, you know, my speaking engagements that I do now to go and talk to
college students and kids like that is something I'm really passionate about.
I heard you were a fire speaker.
Really?
Yeah, I did see that somewhere.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's nice.
You just spoke somewhere, like on March 6th or something.
I did.
Yeah, I did the keynote for Women's History Month at, where was I?
I was in, was it Tennessee?
I don't know, but I heard rumblings of that speech of everybody.
I saw some people talking about it.
Well, it's important because I don't remember when I was in school having someone like me come to speak.
Right.
And so it's so important.
I know you all do this all the time, but it's so important for people to see someone like you as a realistic role model.
A black woman.
And that you can do this.
And I tell them my story.
If I can do it, I had no no connections my parents didn't graduate from college um so we didn't know anybody i'm from
louisiana and if i can do this and have this journey that i've had then you can too and and
that's just my message so i tell people about my story and how i ended up with this show in la and
i feel like i'm just getting started now Are you a Miss America runner-up?
Yes, I was.
Tell us about that.
Yes, I was.
Tell us about that, Miss America.
You still look a little hurt that you didn't win.
You can tell.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Actually, Judge Faith Jenkins is winning in many ways.
Tell us about that.
You didn't win that competition.
It's true.
I did not.
That hurt.
That was tough.
Who won?
Who won?
Miss Hawaii. Miss won? Miss Hawaii.
Miss Hawaii.
I said I'd never say that name again.
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
Everything happens for a reason, right?
I had to say that at the time. At the time, it sucked.
Why do you think you lost?
I don't know. I felt like I should have won.
You were the last one.
You know what?
I said I never want to have a moment like that in my life again,
where I am on stage in front of millions of people,
and they decide my fate, and I have to smile.
Hug the other person who won.
And hug.
And I was happy.
I mean, you know, I wasn't a bad sport at all.
But I just, you know, afterwards, when the cameras went off,
tears were just streaming down my face because I worked so hard,
and it's what I wanted at the time. But I always say, you know, my mom told me at the time, she
said, God has something better for you than Miss America. I was like, well, what is that? You know,
because at that time I was like, well, this is pretty awesome. You know, I want to do this.
But as I've looked at my journey, because I went right after I was Miss Louisiana. So I went right
back to school and I got my law degree. And as I look at my journey and where I ended up, I couldn't do what I'm doing now without the experience, without going back to school, getting my degree.
And this is, as my mom said, better than that, in my opinion.
Until you're doing a trial case and you lose in front of everybody in the courtroom.
That happens.
You cried in?
No, no, because it happens.
I mean, it's just a part of your job.
You don't win every case you have.
And, you know, just like in life.
You know, you have things that happen and somebody gets a second chance.
It must be, it was a good day for them, apparently.
Now, Mrs. Hawaii comes up in your courtroom, right?
Guilty as charged. I'm just kidding. I love Angela. Now, Mrs. Hawaii comes up in your courtroom, right? Guilty as charged.
I'm just kidding.
I love Angela.
I love Angela.
Did you ever want to be
a singer for real?
Singer?
You sing?
That was my talent, Miss America.
That was my talent.
You won for the singer.
Thank you.
Give us a little something.
Do you want to sing
the part as well?
Give us a little something.
Let's sing the thing. I don't sing anymore.
I haven't, I haven't like.
I'm sure that's why you lost the whole.
I was good back then.
You have to keep the vocal cords worked out.
That's the problem.
I then became a lawyer and I stopped singing.
I thought I can't do both of these things.
No, I didn't.
That was my talent.
You know, I was, I was pretty good back then.
I did win the talent competition.
What did you sing?
Regina Bale's version of If I Could.
It was originally done by Nancy Wilson.
But, yeah.
I saw you excited on Instagram about the Queens of Court promo.
Do you have a relationship with the other judges?
Like, do they embrace you?
Are they like a fraternity?
Like, they keep you on the outside for now?
Sorority.
I would love to meet them.
The only other judge I've met, I've met Judge Mathis.
I think he's so hilarious, too. He's so funny. He's so funny. I watch him to meet them. The only other judge I've met, I've met Judge Mathis. I think he's so hilarious, too.
He's so funny.
He's so funny.
I watch him all the time.
And I met Judge Mathis, and I met Judge Maybelline.
No Judy yet?
No.
But I've been invited over to meet her.
I'm still scared of Judy.
Maybelline is divorced.
I don't know.
She seems a little mean on TV, but I don't think she's mean on TV.
Yeah, she's probably going to be really nice when I meet her.
And, you know, certainly she doesn't see me as any competition.
She's like, oh, okay.
She just means to people when they do dumb stuff, though.
Yeah.
Like when you're, you know what I mean?
She'll be hearing people out sometimes.
But she just set the standard.
Like she is, you know, she is the standard.
You know, she's the number one show on daytime TV.
Absolutely.
By far.
Absolutely.
So as long as Judy's successful, Court will always be around.
And your name is on the show.
That's kind of, that's a big deal.
Because it's like people's court, divorce court, but then Judge Judy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's a big deal.
You know, it's pretty good.
No, I don't feel pressure.
Woo.
We look forward to watching it some more.
Word.
Judge Faith Jenkins.
Thank you for joining us, man.
Thank you.
It's syndicated.
So just check your local listings and follow my, my Instagram, Judge Faith Jenkins.
And we post about the show, clips of the show.
So you can watch some clips on there and then check it out on TV.
Amazing, man.
It's syndicated. I don't know.
That's right.
She is syndicated.
I respect it, man.
If we ever have a problem, can we come up there and, like, you know,
maybe we want to sue each other?
Well, yeah.
I guess you could, but our cap is $5,000.
What you saying?
We should take Joe Button on there.
I have a feeling.
Remember that bet he made on there that would it be bad
just so you know i now that i've met all of you i will still be fair and impartial
okay and judge according to the law.
So you're welcome to come on.
And we have audio evidence.
If somebody says something on the air, that is binding in court, right?
If he says, okay, I'll make this bet with you right now on the air.
That's pretty compelling evidence, actually.
Yeah, because we get text messages.
I get everything now as evidence.
So that's pretty compelling.
Well, thank you, Judge Faith Jenkins.
Judge Faith, man.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to it.
Salute to Judge Faith Jenkins for coming through,
dropping a clue bomb for her.
57 years old, doesn't look a day over 22.
She might be 40, 41.
Doesn't look a day over 22. She's 57 40, 41. Doesn't look a day over 22.
She's 57.
She's not 57.
Well, let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Drake.
She's spilling the tea.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Now, Yee should be here in a second.
Her flight landed, so she's on her way.
So we'll see what happens due to traffic.
All right, now, over the weekend, it seems Her flight landed, so she's on her way. So we'll see what happens due to traffic. All right.
Now, over the weekend, it seems like a lot of things were going on with Drake.
Now, they shot the video to his record with the Migos.
It's actually Migos' record, Walk It, Talk It.
They had a cameo from Jamie Foxx.
They shot that over the weekend.
Also, Drake released his version of N.E.R.D.'s Lemon.
All right.
It was a remix.
He actually did his OVO sound radio. Pharrell actually did a guest DJ mix, and they premiered it. Let's play a snippet of N.E.R.D.'s Lemon. It was a remix. He actually did his OVO Sound Radio.
Pharrell actually did a guest DJ mix,
and they premiered it.
Let's play a snippet of it.
I get it how I live it.
I live it how I get it.
Y'all don't really get it.
I pull up in a lemon.
Blocks get to spinning.
Money 3D printing.
Never had a limit.
Never been religious.
I just always had opinions. My daddy
told me, listen,
you better get some money or I'll die and go to
prison. So you
see, yeah, I got
rich and stay free. Free the dogs
doing B.I.D. We're going to play the full version
in the mix this morning. That's some sound advice.
You know what I'm saying? His father told him
get some money and stay out of prison. Yep.
Some sound advice. Mm-hmm.
Now, lastly, it seems like Drake is in Wyoming right now,
and that is the same place Kanye is.
And they said he's just not doing a feature.
They believe it's more than that.
What?
Possibly doing maybe an album together?
By the way, why do people act like Kanye West didn't come on The Breakfast Club?
What year was that?
I don't even remember.
2015, maybe? 2015 Yeah about 15
2015
And he said this
The Wolves song
Came from a conversation
That me and Drake had
Where we was gonna
Do an album together
And the album
Was called Wolves
So that's what
We might be seeing
So far
That wasn't the whole clip
The whole clip
Was like this was
This is an exclusive
I'm giving y'all
We doing this album
Jesus Christ Play the whole thing Brief The producers didn't Put the whole clip, the whole clip was like, this is an exclusive I'm giving y'all. We doing this album. Jesus Christ.
Yeah, I got to play the whole thing with the whole thing brief.
The producers didn't put the whole clip in.
Jesus, what the?
What?
Nothing.
The moral of the story is Kanye West told us, how many years ago was that?
What year is it now?
Three years ago.
Three years ago that him and Drake was doing the album, Call Wolves.
Now, also the artists that have been seen in Wyoming, Travis Scott, The Dream, Nas,
Lil Uzi, Kid Cudi.
So we'll see what this album turns out to be.
All Kanye's usual ghostwriters.
Okay, which means he's going to drop a phenomenal album.
Collaborators is what they call it.
Whatever.
All right.
Now BET, in partnership with YouTube,
is bringing back Freestyle Friday.
You excited?
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know.
I don't know how I feel about that.
Well, this is what they're doing.
They're getting a bunch of contenders from all over the country,
and it's going to be like a rap battle.
And then the winner will perform as the opening act for the BET Experience
annual hip-hop show at the Staples.
I don't know if I like seeing the rookies freestyling.
I don't know if I like seeing the amateurs freestyle.
You got to be really, really, really, really, really good.
Because the bar has been set very high by the professionals.
Right.
You know what I mean?
Well, they're going to be picking, I guess,
they're going to pick somebody from New York, Toronto, London, Los Angeles.
I guess the big major cities.
They're going to pick one person that's dope,
and then whoever wins that is going to be performing at the BET Experience.
You think about the Royster 5'9 freestyle and the Vison
and the Black Thought freestyle.
That bar is set pretty high.
There gotta be some dudes that still, that's spitting like that.
Or close to.
I guess, I don't know.
But it gotta be about bars, though.
It can't just be about a song.
I want to hear real, real bars if it's going to be Freestyle Friday.
In fact, they did have some real lyricists on Freestyle Friday.
They did.
Back in the day.
You had Jin and you had Post-a-Boy. What was his name? Post-a-Boy. Post-a-Boy the day, you had Jen and you had Post-a-Boy.
Post-a-Boy.
That's the only track I remember, Post-a-Boy and Jen.
I feel like I'm missing a lot.
I know I'm missing a lot of people, but that was such a long time ago.
You know what?
Eff it.
Bring it back.
Who cares?
All right.
Not going to hurt nothing.
And that is your rumor report.
Now, Charlamagne.
Yes.
Who are you giving that donkey to?
We need OJ Simpson to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with him, please.
Oh, boy.
All right.
We'll give it to OJ. When we come back, don of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please. Oh, boy. All right. We'll give it to O.J.
When we come back, don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
This don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel.
A rental?
Did she get donkey in the name, please?
Absolutely.
I have become donkey of the day.
It's the Breakfast Club, Dylan. Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. That's a breakfast club, bitchy.
You're a donkey.
Donkey of the day for Monday, March 19th
goes to Orenthal James Simpson,
commonly known to the planet
as the Negro who got away with double murder,
O.J. Simpson.
I'm at the point in my life
where I just want O.J. to go away.
I want O.J. to disappear, vanish.
I want him to get so low that when he dies,
we all say to ourselves,
damn, I thought O.J. Simpson been dead.
I have no idea why America is so obsessed with O.J. Simpson,
especially after what we saw last week with that If I Did It special.
It's safe to say that the judicial system got it wrong.
Happens all the time in America, okay, after family and Trayvon Martin.
But the same way I don't want to hear from George Zimmerman,
I don't want to hear from O.J.
They are both two sides of the same sociopathic coin, and I can't believe either one of them
are still alive.
Honestly, I thought some, you know, white extremist would have taken O.J. out by now,
and I thought a gangbanger who's really about that life would have taken out George Zimmerman
by now, but alas, neither has happened yet, and George Zimmerman and O.J. Simpson, sadly,
are still on the planet with us.
Now, here's the thing I honestly thought.
I really thought O.J. Simpson was innocent back in the day.
I was in high school.
I didn't really know all the intricate details of the case.
I just knew, you know, the Rodney King trial had just happened,
and the cops who did that got off,
and every rapper I enjoyed from L.A. was talking about how crooked the cops in L.A. were,
so I thought they was just trying to frame O.J. because he was black.
Now, this is before I found out later on in life that O.J. Simpson didn't give a damn about being black.
In fact, he said, I'm not black, I'm O.J.
I'm not black, I'm O.J.
Yeah, so I wasn't one of those people who knew O.J. was guilty,
but was still rooting for him to get off because he was black.
I really thought he was innocent.
And one thing we can all admit now is that those of us who rooted for O.J.
to get off for whatever reason were absolutely on the wrong side of history.
Can you admit that, Envy?
Yes.
Yes, okay.
He told you himself last week, hypothetically, during that,
did I confess special or if I did it special or did O.J. do it,
whatever the hell it was.
He hypothetically admitted that he did it.
And if committing the double murders doesn't convince you that OJ is a psychopath,
then him doing an interview detailing what happened when he hypothetically committed the murders
should absolutely seal the deal on his psychopathic status.
With that said, why do we care what OJ Simpson has to say about anything?
Jason Point,
the Buffalo News,
the hometown paper of the NFL team
OJ once played for.
They did OJ's first interview
since he's been home
from prison.
And by the way,
I'm glad print journalism
is back,
but nothing beats
video and audio nowadays,
especially at a time
like this, okay?
If there's video
and audio of this,
my team couldn't find it.
But the Buffalo News
asked OJ Simpson about several
topics in the story published
last Friday, and one of the subjects was
on the good brother Colin Kaepernick. Drop on the
clues bombs for Colin Kaepernick.
The Buffalo News asked OJ
Simpson about Colin Kaepernick kneeling
during the national anthem to protest police
brutality. I repeat, the
Buffalo News asked OJ Simpson about
Colin Kaepernick kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality. I repeat, the Buffalo News asked OJ Simpson about Colin Kaepernick kneeling
during the national anthem to protest police brutality, and OJ's answer was this. I think
Colin made a mistake. I really appreciate what he was trying to say. I thought he made a bad choice
in attacking the flag. Let's unpack that for a second. First of all, Orenthal, Colin did not
attack the flag. Colin peacefully protested the flag, which he has every constitutional right to do.
And he was kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality.
See, attacking the flag would be Colin taking a knife and just violently cutting the flag to shreds.
Okay, that would be attacking the flag.
That's not what Colin Kaepernick did, OJ.
That's what you and Charlie did when y'all killed Nicole Simpson and Ronald Goldman, hypothetically.
OK, peaceful protests and attacks are two different things.
Colin didn't make a mistake. Colin knew exactly what his intentions were and he did exactly what he intended to do.
And that's bring light to a situation that needed to have some light on it.
Now, if you want to talk mistakes, let's talk about the mistakes the prosecution team made during your murder trial.
O.J. Simpson, let's talk about the mistake the jurors made when they found you not guilty.
Hell, let's talk about the mistake the police made
by not taking Nicole Simpson's cries for help about your crazy ass serious.
Okay, how can you a man, how can you, all right,
a man who committed a double murder and then wrote a book about it
and then did a TV interview hypothetically confessing to it,
tell a man who was out here protesting police brutality,
they made a mistake, right?
I don't want to hear O.J. Simpson say someone else has made a mistake
when he won't admit to his own.
For all the kids out there listening, I don't want to be the moral police,
but let's just say hypothetically Colin Kaepernick did make a mistake
by peacefully protesting the flag. Hypothetically, Colin Kaepernick did make a mistake by peacefully protesting the flag.
Hypothetically, of course, right?
If I had to weigh mistakes, kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality
or hypothetically murdering two people, which mistake, hypothetically, of course, would you choose?
Who would you choose, Envy?
Kneeling.
Okay.
Just making sure.
All right.
Orenthal James Simpson, shut the F up, Falvo.
Please let Remy Ma give O.J. Simpson the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
You stupid mother-----.
Are you dumb?
Mm-mm-mm.
Listen, kids, you can learn a lot from your mistakes when you aren't busy denying them.
Absolutely.
O.J. will never learn from this situation.
Not at all.
He's too busy denying it.
There you go.
All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now's too busy denying it. There you go. All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey today.
Now, when we come back, shoot your shot.
All right?
If you want to shoot your shot with somebody, maybe a coworker, maybe a friend, maybe an ex, it doesn't matter.
800-585-1051.
Tell us who you want to shoot your shot with.
We'll do it when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Are you ready? It's time
to shoot your shot. It's time to shoot your shot.
With The Breakfast Club. This is your one chance.
Don't mess it up. Mess it up.
Mess it up. Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Nick. Nick, what's going on, Nick?
How much, guys? How are you?
Everything is good. Now, what's going on, man? Who much, guys? How are you? Everything is good. Now, what's going on, man?
Who do you want to shoot your shot with, Nick?
All right, well, so I'm an Uber driver,
and I actually have this client, passenger,
that I, you know, happen to take around a lot.
And, you know, I've taken her home from work a couple times,
and it's been really, like, nice.
You know, we have friendly conversations every time.
Like, we have a really good connection.
How are you getting the same person all the time?
Well, I guess, you know, it's just in my, like, sort of neighborhood area.
I've seen that before.
Sometimes when I call the Uber, the same Uber comes, but you could be stalking as well.
It sounds a little stalkerish.
Are you purposely trying to make sure she's in your Uber?
No, I wasn't at first.
But, I mean,
I'll admit, since I've met her,
you know, it's been a couple weeks, and
I've been trying to stay, like,
within range of her job, you know,
hoping that, you know, I could maybe, like,
connect with her for a ride.
Because I just enjoy her company. It's been a few weeks, and yeah, I could maybe, like, connect with her for a ride because I just enjoy her company.
It's been a few weeks, and, yeah, I haven't seen her.
So I'm just wondering if I can.
You probably haven't seen her because you've been weirding her out
every time she gets into your Uber.
So she probably calls your number, calls Uber,
and when you pop up, she switches to somebody else.
Or maybe she has a ride to wherever she's going or something.
Mad negative, man.
Shut up.
All right, but go ahead.
He has a point, though. So do you know if she
has a man or anything?
I don't know anything about that.
I don't think so.
So you got her address. Why don't you just pull up to her crib?
Do you guys have good conversation
when she's in the car? Yeah, we do.
I mean, she seems to
really like talking to me.
I mean, it's just a good connection all around, you know?
So I have no reason to believe that she's weirded out.
What kind of rating does she give you?
She tells me that she gives me a full rating every time, five stars.
How do you rate her?
Five stars, of course.
You know it.
Okay, all right.
Wait, wait.
Is she always by herself, or is there any indication that she's dating someone?
Does she talk on the phone? You could tell a lot about people's phone conversations when they're in an Uber. Is she always by herself, or is there any indication that she's dating someone? Does she talk on the phone?
You could tell a lot about people's phone conversations when they're in an Uber.
Is she calling her man, like, I miss you, I love you?
There's been no indication of that.
I haven't heard her talking to anyone.
You know, it's just like her going from home to work, and, you know, she's talking to me the whole time.
Okay.
I don't think so.
So what you're saying is she's pretty easy to kidnap?
Wow, this guy.
He watched too many movies, man.
All right, well, we'll call her
when we come back.
Keep it locked.
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 in the middle of Shoot Your Shot.
We have Nick on the line.
He's about to call Carly.
Let's see how that goes.
Hello? Hey, Carly. It's Nick. Nick. Uber driver Nick. Oh, hey, Nick. How are you?
I'm good.
Sorry to call you out of the blue.
I just wanted to reach out to you because it's been like a few weeks since I've seen you. And I know I've driven you a few times here and there. And I guess I just, I wanted to say that I, you know, I really, like, enjoy your company.
And, you know, thought maybe, like, we could hang out sometime.
Well, you know, I live with someone.
I do have a boyfriend.
All right.
Well, there you have it.
Nick, sorry.
You have a boyfriend. Oh, wow. All right. Well, there you have it. Nick, sorry. You have a boyfriend?
I'm sorry?
Carly, this is Angela, Envy, and Charlamagne from The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
And Nick was going to do a segment called Shoot Your Shot because he has a little crush on you.
But he decided to call Uber Pool instead of the regular Uber and bring us along with him.
And he got his shot rejected.
Seems that you're in a relationship.
Well, it's not really rejected.
I mean, I like his company, too.
We have a lot.
You know, we joke around.
We laugh.
And, yes, I have a boyfriend, but it's just not working out.
It's getting old.
Don't be a hoe.
Don't be a hoe.
Don't do that.
No, no, no.
Don't do that.
Don't listen to him.
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but, I mean, what has your boyfriend done for you lately?
I mean, I'm the one driving you around everywhere.
Oh, my.
And she's paying you.
You ain't like you giving her free rides.
No, I mean, you're right in some ways.
Like, he's never home.
I'm always by myself.
That's why, actually, I'm always calling Uber because he's never around to pick me up or take me to where I got to go.
But he won't do the next man well.
You know what I'm saying?
This is like a new TV show for the love of Uber.
You deserve a man who's going to drive you places.
Oh, my God.
Uber love.
And he'll drive you for free from now on.
I like hanging out with you.
No, you're very sweet.
I enjoy your company also.
So is this going to be a love connection or not, man?
I know, because I'm getting...
I would really like to.
I mean, just like I said, I'm living with someone.
I'm trying to end it now, actually.
But this may give me a reason to speed it up a little more.
Now, I just want you to know that he's going to have to charge you for this because you're
past your wait time.
All right?
So now he's going to have to charge you for this.
Okay?
You could have did this five minutes ago.
All right?
The meter's running.
Yes, it is.
My goodness.
Well, I guess we've made a love connection, ladies and gentlemen.
Well, good luck, guys.
Thank you.
All right.
Well, it's the Breakfast Club.
It shoots your shot.
Rumors are next.
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.
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.
