I got here early this morning for whatever reason, and I opened the box. The box tricked me because it said, just do it on it. And I was like, wow, Nike sent something up here?

That's very rare. Nike don't send me nothing. And so I opened it, and it was 3.785 liters. Exactly one gallon of wet platinum silicone premium lubricant serum. That's right.

He's ready for the weekend Hopefully you guys are too Now this morning We got some special guests Bill Bellamy Comedian Actor Let's be clear

There's no more VJ There's no more balanced Morning show Than the Breakfast Club We are the perfect balance Of ratchetness and righteousness So Bill Bellamy, comedian, actor. Let's be clear. There's no more balance morning show than the Breakfast Club. We are the perfect balance of ratchetness and righteousness. So Bill Bellamy is a comedian. OG VJ from back in the day. Yep, shout out to Bill Bellamy. And making her third appearance on the Breakfast Club.

Kamala Harris will be joining us this morning. Senator Kamala Harris. Running for 2020 Democratic candidate for president. You know what I noticed? I think a lot of people don't necessarily, I don't want to say like, but like Kamala Harris. And I don't understand why. I don't think that's true. That's very true.

I mean, it says she's been soaring in the rankings lately. Yeah, but it seems like a lot of our people, and I would say minorities, black people, seem like they hate on her for a reason. Because it's the narrative that she's a cop. She used to be a prosecutor. So whenever we see anybody that used to be a prosecutor or used to be a cop, we automatically know that the criminal justice system is fairly against black and brown people. She's number two in the rankings right now.

Now, besides being a prosecutor, what else does she do for our community? I mean, it depends what you look at. You know, I started looking at her because of her progressive record in criminal justice reform. You know what I'm saying? Back in 2005, she started the Back on Track program where she was keeping non-violent drug offenders out of jail and giving them internships

and things of that nature. She made her police officers wear body cameras back in the day. It's a lot of things that I thought she did that were progressive, but a lot of people don't think so. Right, and I'm trying to figure out because people are like, yeah, I like Joe Biden. And Joe Biden, what has Joe Biden done for black people and minorities? That's the wildest thing to me is when people get upset at Kamala's past

of being a prosecutor and they say, oh, she locked black and brown people up, but what locked more black and brown people up than the 94 crime bill? All the 88 crime initiatives that Joe Biden did was Krom Thurman that gave you the same amount of time for crack as you got for powder cocaine. No, yeah, gave you the same amount of time for crack as you did for powder cocaine.

Just like, I don't understand the logic. I want you guys, if you're out there, I want you guys to really look it up. Google. Like, really do your homework. Do your research and look up every candidate. Don't listen to your neighbor and your neighbor says, oh, I heard this. No, no, no, no, no.

Don't listen to social media. No, don't listen to social media. Like, there's bots. We're going to talk about bots and what the bots do and what the bots are trying to do. We really want you to do your homework on every candidate. We have no horse in this race as of yet. And by the way, when you really want you to do and what the bots are trying to do. We really want you to do your homework on every candidate. We have no horse in this race as of yet. And by the way, when you really want you to do your research, when you do your research, question everything.

Everybody gets questioned. Everybody record can get questioned. Correct. Everybody from Joe Biden, the Senator Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders. This is our vote in the future of our country that's at stake. So we have to take it that serious and question everything. Right. And we're going to and we and anybody's invited to come up here.

Any Democratic candidate, any Republican candidate is invited to come up here and have a conversation. Oh, yeah. We're going to ask a million and one questions. There's going to be a couple conservatives coming real soon. Absolutely. My man Senator Tim Scott and Senator Mark Rubio are going to pull up. Because that's what we want. We want those conversations.

We want to see what they're going to do for us. how these candidates, what they're going to do for us. That's it. You know? What they're going to do for us. And if they don't want to come up here, that proves they don't give an F about us. Yeah, like Joe Biden. Joe Biden wanted to send his surrogate to the Breakfast Club. He has a black, what's that black guy's name?

What's his name? Cedric what? Cedric Richmond. What do you mean send your surrogate? I don't know what that means. Surrogate, I thought, is a woman that carries another baby for somebody else. He wants to send Kim Kardashian's surrogate up here to speak for him, all right? So he don't want to come.

He wants to send his surrogate. Hey, man, that's what we were told. But, you know. I didn't know you could do that as a surrogate. So if I don't come and say somebody else, that's called sending my surrogate? Yes. I thought it was my replacement, but. No.

Joe Biden wants to send his surrogate. I'm going to start using that. Whatever. Anyway, long story short, Bill Bellamy and Senator Kamala Harris will be here this morning. All right. Well, Yee. Yes. Front page news.

What are we talking about? Well, let's talk about these women who are coming forward with allegations against Jeffrey Epstein. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. We'll get into that next.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now, the Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to trade Russell Westbrook to the Houston Rockies.

Jesus Christ, poor Chris Paul, man. Chris Paul will be sent out to OKC. They also got a bunch of first-round picks, and it looks like Westbrook is reunited with James Harden. I'm not going to lie, I've always wanted to see what a backcourt of James Harden and Russell Westbrook would look like, especially after both of them grew up. Because they used to play together in Oklahoma City,

but James Harden used to come off the bench. With Kevin Durant, yeah. Yeah, so I'm interested in seeing that. Yeah, so NBA looks like it's going to be fun this year. NBA looks like it used to look back in the day. You know back in the day on those video games, you could just put whatever players you wanted on every team? Yeah, it does.

That's what the NBA looks like right now. I'm excited about it. Or Chris Paul, man. Jesus Christ. They're going to let him really play out his last years in Oklahoma City? I don't think that's going to happen. No? I can't see it, bro.

I think he may trade for the Lakers or something like that. I can see. I don't know how that's going to happen because Chris Paul is owed like over $100 million over the next few years, but anything's possible. I don't know. What else you got, Ye? Well, Bed Bath & Beyond, if you love to shop there,

they might be out of business soon. Really? Yes. You know, I'm a Bed Bath & Beyond fan. I even have the app on my phone to get the coupons. I be getting the coupons all the time. And you can use those coupons

over and over and over again. And I take, when I go to the store, I take a bunch of them. So if I see people, I'm like, you need a coupon? I be giving people coupons. Well, even though they've been trying to lower their prices,

their prices are still about 10% more expensive than Amazon on similar items. They're also facing a lot of pressure from TJ Maxx and HomeGoods. Yeah. So, unfortunately for them, they're going to have to figure out how to get their customers back. But they might be running out of time is what people are saying. I'm going to buy my hangers and my vacuums and stuff like that. I know.

Goodness gracious. All right. Now, let's talk about Jeffrey Epstein, the multimillionaire alleged pedophile. There's at least a dozen alleged victims who have come forward to say they were sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein. He's trying to convince the judge right now to let him stay at home

while he waits for his sex trafficking trial. He's going to put his $77 million mansion where he stays in Manhattan. He wants to put that up. So he's saying that he's not a risk. There's no flight risk because all of these allegations occur between 2002 and 2005, and he's no longer a danger to anyone because there is no allegations in the past 14 years. Do we have to say alleged pedophile with him?

He is a registered sex offender. I mean, you know what? These women are alleged victims because they haven't proven it yet. But he's a registered sex offender. I mean, you know what? These women are alleged victims because they haven't proven it yet. But he's a registered sex offender, though. So at some point he was a pedophile. These women who are

coming forward say they were underage at the time of the suspected abuse. And they're from Florida and New York. So right now, four women in New York

have reached out to a lawyer and at least ten other women have approached other lawyers. Isn't he going to start snitching? They said he's going to tell on five people that's also paid for massages. I thought I heard that this morning, too.

Oh, that's when it's going to go down. Is that true, Yee? I mean... It might be one of your faves. They're getting named in this thing. A lot of people are like, we have to question everybody who was friends with him and around him during this time.

Mm-mm-mm. All right. All right, well, that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Maybe you're upset. You need to vent. Maybe you feel good.

It's Friday, and you want to spread some positivity. Or maybe you have a bully. You know, somebody that's bullying you, and you can't do nothing about it.

Where did that come from? Like, yesterday, I got bullied. Why? And you ever get bullied by somebody you just can't win, and you know you can't beat them? No. That just happened to me yesterday. Who? IRS. Okay get bullied by somebody you just can't win and you know you can't beat them? No.

That just happened to me yesterday. Who? IRS. Okay, well, they're not a bully. They're just the IRS. They are the bully. Don't you ever talk bad about the IRS. You're right.

Yeah, absolutely right. I'm sorry. The IRS has never bullied anyone, all right? The IRS just wants you to handle your business, and if you don't, they come collect you. I got a letter, and I hate when I get that little letter that says IRS on it. I get scared. I'm scared now. Just a little reminder.

I'm scared. Please leave me alone. I'm sorry. I'm scared now. Just a little reminder. I'm scared. Please leave me alone. I'm sorry. I don't even know what I did, but I'm sorry. You look like you're calling a lot of attention to yourself right now. You're right. All right, get it off your chest. Call us.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Whoa, what's up? This is Michael, downtown New Orleans.

Mike, what up, man? How's everything out in New Orleans, man? How you holding up, bro? Oh, it's everything. I'm in Ohio right now. I'm just from New Orleans. Oh, okay. Oh, so you missed the storm, basically. Well, yeah, I'm always traveling. You know, I learned a long time ago after Katrina that you want to just get out of that place and live your life.

Great tourist spot, but, you know, if you want to develop and just, you know, grow, you got to get out in New Orleans. The South, period. You know, ain't nothing good coming from the South. Wow. Got you. Well, get it off your chest, bro. I mean, for me, I just want to talk about the hypocrisy that's in America

from just the women's side of things. You know, I think more women should speak out upon the women sucking on the cucumbers. Because even though the phones are giving people easy access to see this stuff, you got to think about the kids that's in this as well. It's not just the mid-adults to the young teenagers. Trust me, it should be a disgrace when you see a little girl open her mouth when she sees a phone. You know what I mean? So it's just like I feel like a lot of people should really put that on beam as far as like, yo, we got to stop this.

Because if this is what we're doing now, just imagine 40 years from now when these three-year-olds get their tongue out when they're 43. And they're looking at what their mom did who was going to be a great grandmother probably at that point. Like, man, what were you doing? I wonder, and I'm not saying that you're wrong. I just wonder how many times have you, you know, spoke out against rappers talking about drug use or rappers celebrating the gang culture or rappers celebrating violence

because that's just as destructive as the cucumber challenge. Man, that is, man, But not everybody listens to rap. Really? Not everybody listens to rap. I think more people are aware of rap than they are the cucumber challenge. And not everybody's on social media. True, true. But what's more worth?

The image of something, you know, or something getting a little buzz of rap music. Like I said, listening for me is retaining it. You know, like somebody may know that, oh, he's playing Migos

before it's like listening to it, retaining it, like repeating the lyrics, vibing to it, actually vibing to it. Like that's the difference. Music will influence you

more than the cucumber challenge, sir. You sure about that? I'm positive about that. I get what you're saying. It's all pretty bad though, man. I want a salad. You the cucumber challenge, sir. You sure about that? I'm positive about that. I get what you're saying. It's all pretty bad, though, man. I want a salad. You're stupid.

You're stupid. It's all pretty bad, you know, but like I said, I think if we can stop one thing first, it would definitely be the image of out there with this whole cucumber stuff. So that's the first thing you want to stop? Yeah, I don't think the cucumber challenge is going to be the end of our civilization.

I want to stop the cucumber challenge simply because you can't do this as a body of a woman and then call it me too, you know, like you got the provotion. You can't? It's provotion, you know, you can't. So you're saying if a woman's on a cucumber, that means that a man has the right to touch her and she can't say me too? Oh, no.

You're losing, bro. I think you got to... I think I would start... Start over, start over and just say, I don't like the cucumber challenge. Just say you don't like the cucumber challenge

and you don't want your daughter doing it. That's all you have to say. That's all, bro. No, it's a gateway, man. Oh, my goodness. It's not a gateway. Trying to help you, bro.

Men should know to keep their hands to themselves, period. It has nothing to do with the cucumber challenge. Yeah, the cucumber challenge is not a gateway because the truth of the matter is

a lot of those people doing the cucumber challenge have already sucked this s*** before. My goodness. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us 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? This is Jelena. Hey, get it off your chest. I have been unemployed for seven months.

I've been working for the government for 15 years, and I just got a new job yesterday. So I'm excited. I get to go to work on Monday. Yes. Congratulations. That's exciting go to work on Monday. Yes. Congratulations. Congratulations. That's exciting. Thank you so much.

I want to tell everybody to stay in character even if you're unemployed. Keep going. Apply for these jobs and don't want to pick you up. All right, mama. That's so dope.

Congrats. Monday's a big day. Get this weekend out the way. Have some fun and then let's get down to business. Hello, who's this? This is Ray.

Ray, what's up? Good up, bro. Get it off your chest. Hi. I was calling because I was a victim of a violent crime back in December. My best friend stabbed me. Kind of crazy. But since then, I've become an inspiring entrepreneur,

and I'm trying to find some assistance with funding. I have a company that's looking to manufacture a product, and I know you guys like to do the whole investing, so I don't know if you have any kind of like some help or any advice that I could get. I just really don't know where to start now. I've done a lot of legwork for the invention, but I really, you know, I'm kind of at my...

Have you thought about Shark Tank? Yeah, a lot of people say that, but my situation is a little different because I don't have a product yet. So I have the invention. I've done all the back work. I've got the 20-year patent research done. But right now, I'm at the

investment stage where I need a private investor to, you know, give me that chance to, you know, get this product and manufacture it. And I come from a poor town, the poorest town in Pennsylvania, actually, Jonestown. So it's kind of hard to come up with that kind of money.

Well, I mean, you've wasted a lot of time on the radio talking about the product, but not once have you given a website to where people can look at the product or, you know, an email where people can contact you. He doesn't have a product. He doesn't have a product. He has an idea. All right, man. Yeah, so it's an idea, but I've done, you know, a lot of the research.

I have PowerPoints. You're going to have to figure out how you can come up with the money if you've got to grind it out and make it Because you said it's not a lot of money But you have to invest in yourself Well, I mean, I'm trying Like I said, I've had some bumps in the road So it's kind of hard to come across I still don't even know what the product is

You might have to drive Lyft, Uber Do what you have to do to raise that money You've got to grind it out I don't want to hear what it is at this point. He's already wasted enough time. Should have been got to it. He said it's not a lot of money. Yeah, clear Kickstarter, bro.

Do a GoFundMe. I mean, that's an idea. But like I said, it's like. All right, all right. Hey, man. Hey, hey, hey. We wish you the best. I got a fun fact for you.

Today is National Ichijello Day and it's Bill Cosby's born day. Coincidence? I think not. Have a good one. Envy's looking for companies to invest in. No, I'm definitely not. I'm tapped out. Hello, who's this?

Hello. Hey, what's your name? My name is Kimberly. Hi, good morning. Good morning, Kimberly. How are you? I've been better, but I've been trying to talk to y'all for almost a year now to get this off my chest. Oh, my gosh.

What's the matter? So, I'm being bullied by my son's elementary school. For it to be a Christian academy, they're not acting so Christian right now. What happened? You went to school with a short dress on or something? No, no. Your nudes leaked? I went to school with a nice white Lula Rose.

My son lives with his father right now, so I had to drive over four hours to Front Royal, Virginia. I'm the only black mom. So I came in a nice outfit, and I had a headscarf on and everything. It was cool. I tried to figure out why they said that my son's in preschool and he needed to go to summer school. So I went to try and talk to the principal and things like that, and they were too busy to talk to me. So I asked, you know, what time does my child go to lunch? You know, I drove a long time.

I'm just going to take him out. It's the last Friday of school. So his father blocks me and says that I can't take him. So the school says that I could call the father and try and, you know, work something out with him, figure out why I can't take him. They locked me out the school and then called the police. So then they told me I have to leave. So the next day I'm trying to figure out, okay, well,

where's the school records that saying that my child needs to go to summer school when he's in pre-K. So I'm calling the school to try and talk to the principal and figure out, you know, what's going on. Every time I call, she's not there. She's unavailable. She's busy. She's in a meeting. So I'm calling for over a month. So I got tired. I'm talking to a lawyer. My lawyer's like, well, you need to try and call again and make contact. So when I call, no one picks up.

So I asked my niece in Texas to call from her phone. They pick up right away. Hold on. Hold on. Angelina's going to talk to you behind the scenes. Hold on, okay? Okay. There's a lot going on this morning.

Yeah, I ain't going to lie, man. I miss when telling why you mad when people were just mad about getting their breakfast order wrong. This is too deep. This is deep on a Friday. It's a Friday, man. Jeez. Call me about this stuff on Monday. All right.

Give it up for Chess. Well, shout out to the one girl who has a new job starting on Monday. That was good. She was happy. All right. 800-585-1051. You got rumors on the way? Yes.

Let's talk about R. Kelly. Imagine this. He was walking his dog and got arrested. We'll give you an update. What happened, his dog peed on somebody? No. Oh my goodness. All right, we'll get into it next.

Keep it locked, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this, start your own country.

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.

talk about it a lot and I just thought that he was talking about it because he liked it. I do want to see the show though. Oh, it's really good. You'll love it. I think it's up to the fourth episode now, so you have plenty of time to catch up. I'm going to catch up this weekend. Alright, now Ja Rule I think it's up to the fourth episode now, so you have plenty of time to catch up. We'll catch up this weekend. All right. Now, Ja Rule, he is not going to have any issues now because of the Fyre Festival. Now, apparently, they are saying that the suit can move forward against Fyre Media and Billing McFarlane, who was his partner.

But Ja Rule is free. There you go. There you have it, Ja Rule. That is a win. Come on now. That's God's child right there. Drop one of Clues Bonds for Ja Rule. All right?

So no charges will be pressed against him. Yeah, Ja Rule's lawyer said Ja Rule is thankful for today's ruling and for the court's time and attention. Justice was done today. No weapon formed against Ja Rule shall prosper unless it's Curtis Jackson weapons. Other than that, he's all good. All right.

Now, Tiger has canceled a concert he was supposed to do in Sweden. That's in support of ASAP Rocky. So apparently he said on social media, I have decided to cancel my show. I will not be performing in Sweden this Sunday, July 14th. Hashtag free ASAP Rocky. Kim Kardashian hasn't gotten ASAP Rocky out yet? Not yet. I'm sure she's working on it.

It's international. I'm sure it's more difficult. They won't even let people inside the jail to see what the conditions are like. Have he gotten moved? Has he gotten moved to a better condition? No, I think he's being held there for two weeks, and they said they could even extend that another couple of weeks. Don't be surprised if Kim Kardashian gets A$AP Rocky out of jail. Well, I hope he does.

I hope so. Yeah, this is ridiculous, especially after watching that video and seeing how they were harassing him, and he was trying not to do anything, and they were saying, just leave us alone go away and i don't like y'all bringing up asap's old comments about ferguson because you know i i believe in what michael meck said you know i'm for justice no matter who is for or against that's an injustice do anything wrong aside from whatever views he had and what he said in an article yeah the man still did nothing wrong

he still doesn't deserve to be in jail right now. And when he comes home, trust me, he's going to understand why we should always stand up for black people that are experiencing injustice. This is a valuable learning lesson. Valuable learning lesson. Sometimes you got to learn the hard way, people. All right. R. Kelly has been arrested.

Imagine this. He was out walking his dog and they arrested him. And that is for a 13 count indictment that was out against him. He pled not guilty in June to 11 felonies related to sexual assault and various abuse in Illinois. But now they have arrested him and it looks like he's being arrested on federal sex crime charges. They said NYPD police was there to assist as well. Yes, because some of this is in New York. So I guess he's going to have to come here to face some charges also.

And since we're talking about legal issues, Spinderella, she is suing Salt-N-Pepa. So what she is saying is that the best of album that was released in 1999, she was promised one-third of the royalties and got a phone call saying that she would get $125,000, but she never got it. She also said she got cheated from that Salt-N-Pepa TV show. They excluded her from that VH1 show. She was promised one-third of the group's fee for the show, and even though she got an occasional guest spot,

she got way less than one-third, and she got zero compensation for their appearance at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards. Then she said the biggest shock was this year when she was informed that her groupmates had been paid more than $600,000 in royalties over the last decade, but she hadn't gotten any of that money.

That breaks my heart, man. It is a Salt-N-Pepa and Spinderella. You know what I'm saying? They are not a group without them being that trio. Well, people close to Salt-N-Pepa are saying that she doesn't have any legal rights to any of that. They think that her suit is about her own insecurities, that she feels like a third will.

And ever since that Salt-N-Pepa show on VH1, where she was only a featured guest, it only got worse from there. They said she's not entitled to any royalties in her contract and that she always was paid as an independent contractor, but they did take care of her and make sure that she got the best accommodations to go along with her paycheck. And they said the Salt-N-Pepa brand is owned by Salt-N-Pepa. Because the group is Salt-N-Pepa.

Yeah, so they were paying her as a DJ. Correct. But Salt-N-Pepa brand is owned by Salt-N-Pepa. Because the group is Salt-N-Pepa. Yeah, so they were paying her as a DJ. Correct. But Salt-N-Pepa was the actual group. Right. But what we should be talking about is the fact that they said over a decade, they only received $600,000. That means that Salt-N-Pepa is getting got by somebody else. There's no way that over 10 years, they only got $600,000

for all the times we hear their songs in commercials and all that other stuff. That's crazy. Yeah, that doesn't sound like a lot of money. That doesn't sound like a lot. At all. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. No, not over 10 years. Not over 10 years.

All right. I'm hoping that's not all the money they got. Maybe that's all she knows about. I can't imagine that. That is crazy. That makes sense, though, about her being an independent contractor. Yeah. Like, that makes perfect sense.

Like, she's not part of the group, so she's not. It's like Run DMC and Jam Master Jay. Run DMC is the group. Jam Master Jay is the DJ. Even though he's so part of the group, he's an independent contractor. Yeah. Like, that makes perfect sense. Like, she's not part of the group, so she's not. It's like Run DMC and Jam Master Jay. Run DMC is the group. Jam Master Jay is the DJ. Even though he's so part of the group, he's an independent contractor. Didn't he produce, though? Didn't Jam Master Jay produce? He probably had...

His situation probably... But that's not true. Even if he produced, he got paid as a producer. Yeah, that's true. He got royalties as a producer. Jesus Christ, man. All right. All right.

Now, front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Yeah, let's talk about what's going on right now with these storms that are moving in. And they're saying in New Orleans in particular, it's a triple threat, something that's never happened before. All right, we'll get into that next. And don't forget, Kamala Harris will be joining us. Senator Kamala Harris will be joining us in a little bit as well. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Make sure you check out Family Reunion, a new comedy series that dropped on Netflix featuring Loretta Devine and Tia Mowry Hardrick. Have you been to a Family Reunion before? It's definitely a trip. There's always somebody that gets way too drunk. All different generations of people coming together. All kinds of arguments.

It's fun though. Well, you can join the McKellen family and live the everyday ups and downs of Family Reunion and see the real. Memorable, toe-tapping, heart-stopping laugh out loud authentic moments see family reunion on netflix today morning everybody is dj mv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club all right let's get some front page news russell westbrook i was hoping he'd come to the knicks i was hoping anybody would come to the knicks. I was hoping anybody would come to the Knicks, honestly. But it looks like he was traded to Houston Rockets,

and he'll be reunited with James Harden. Now, this is for Chris Paul and first-round picks. So Russell Westbrook and James Harden will be reunited again. I've always been interested in seeing how that would have worked if James Harden and Russell Westbrook would have stayed together. Things are very different now. Both of them have grown up tremendously. James Harden used to come off the bench in Oklahoma City,

so it'll be interesting to watch. Sounds like it's going to be a cluster F, but I don't know. We'll see. It might work. What else are you talking about? Poor Chris Paul, though. Jesus Christ, man. I know, they just put him there by himself.

I can't see Chris Paul in an Oklahoma City Thunderdress, even though he's going to make like $100 million over the next few years. But Jesus Christ, man. Maybe LeBron will bring him to the Lakers somehow. I don't know how that's going to happen. He's owed $100 million over the next three years, but Jesus Christ, man. Maybe LeBron will bring him to the lake or some house. I don't know how that's going to happen. He's owed $100 million over the next three years. Yeah, I don't know. But anyway, what else are we talking about, Ye?

Well, let's discuss the terrible weather that's happening. Tropical Storm Barry is the first tropical storm to threaten the U.S. so far this year. And people in Louisiana, a lot of residents have evacuated. The streets in New Orleans, as you've seen, I'm sure, on the news and on social media look pretty bad. Up to nine inches of rain happened on Wednesday. And they said there's three ways that Louisiana floods, storm surge, high rivers and rain. The governor said we're going to have all three. So that's a terrible situation right now.

And that hasn't happened, I think, since 1950. The levels of the water is at 19 feet. So that's what's really bad right now. Normally, the Mississippi River is 6 to 8 feet around this time. All right, now. Climate change is real, people. A lot of women have come forward with new allegations against Jeffrey Epstein, at least a dozen alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein.

And I'm reading all these things about him right now and some odd things that he does. Like they said, he kept an assortment of items in his mansion in Manhattan. They had a human doll dangling from a chandelier, a human-sized chessboard with little sexy clad modeled figurines, and he had prosthetic breasts by a bathtub that he could play with while bathing. And a woman who claims that she was abused and raped by him when she was 15 years old said there were also photos of naked women hanging in a massage room. They said there's a prison yard mural inside of the home. And, you know, somebody from the New York Times

said that he invited him over to view that mural and the prison scene painted to serve as a reminder of the possibility that could be him again. There's also a lot of mystery behind how he got so rich. They don't know how he became a billionaire. They don't know the exact amount of his wealth. They haven't ascertained that yet, but they do

know that he ran a money management firm and they don't know what current business and clientele he's involved with. And they also talk about this island that he bought. He bought Little St. James Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands more than 20 years ago and they used to call that. James Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands more than 20 years ago. And they used to call that Pedophile Island. Jesus Christ.

Really? Yeah, that's what everybody used to call it because they didn't know what was going on there. There's rumors that he ran his alleged sex trafficking ring there, but what happened there

exactly right now is unknown. So that's just some more information about Jeffrey Epstein. I never understood why a man would be interested in a young female. Because it's disgusting. I just never understand what the attraction is. I just don't get it.

Now, if he wasn't a registered sex offender, would any of those sex toys and props be considered weird? Because, I mean, people sell that stuff and people buy it. Like, if he wasn't a registered sex offender who's an alleged pedophile, would that be weird? Like, if you walked into somebody's house and they was's an alleged pedophile, would that be weird? Like, if you walked into somebody's house and they was sleeping

with women of age, would you be like... Prosthetic breasts by the bathtub and a doll, a naked doll hanging from a chandelier. But people sell this stuff

is what I'm saying. Yeah, I'm sure this... You know what I'm saying? Like, it's not illegal. I don't know if it would be out in the open like that, like hanging from the chandelier. It's his house.

Yeah, it's his house, but when people come over... He's just a freaky guy. I don't want anybody to think we're defending him. No, not at all. I'm speaking hypothetically. If he wasn't a registered sex offender who was an alleged pedophile,

would those sex toys and props be considered? No, it's not against the law to have those sex toys and props, but just because he's looked at as a pedophile looks kind of weird. No, he's not looked at as a pedophile. He is a pedophile. He's a registered sex offender. Yes. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Front Page News.

All right, now, when we come back, Senator Kamala Harris will be joining us. Making her third appearance on The Breakfast Club. That's right. Her second time this year. She was here in 2018, the first time ever. Late, early 2018. That's right.

Maybe it was 2017. I don't remember. 2020 presidential candidate, so we'll kick it with her when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MD, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building. She's back. She's from Howard University. Yes, I am. Oh, my goodness. Senator Kamala Harris. Welcome back. Good morning. It's good to be back.

It's my first time meeting you, finally. Well, Angela, meet Kamala. Kamala, meet Angela. Nice to meet you. It's good to be back. It's my first time meeting you, finally. Angela meet Kamala. Kamala meet Angela. Nice to meet you. How you doing? This is your third time here and my first time being here at the same time. I know. And that's why I keep coming back, waiting so I can be with you. Where do you want to start off?

You want to start off talking about smoking weed and Tupac, or do you want to get to that later? Let's get to that later. All right. I was like, I missed work for one day. Dear Lord. Dear Lord. That was misconstrued. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. one day. Dear Lord. Dear Lord. That was misconstrued. They took that all out of context.

Of course it was. But it had a little shelf life of its own. It did. For a long time. It did. Now, the debates happened. Yes. I think a lot of people saw what I've been seeing for some time,

and that's somebody who can take on Donald Trump. But there's still a lot of doubt, especially that a woman, a black woman, can bring the fight to Donald Trump. So what do you say to the voter that's feeling like, you know, that's wondering if you got what it takes to get at Trump? Well, I do. There is so much about what we need to do to not only turn the page and let him see his time come to an end in the White House, but there's also what's at stake is about the future of our country. So on the first piece of it, it's going to be about having somebody on that stage in the general election who will

know how to competently prosecute the case against four more years of Donald Trump. I know how to do that. And as far as I'm concerned, he's got a long rap sheet and I know what predators look like. And we have a predator living in the White House. And here's the thing about predators. By their very nature, they prey on the vulnerable. And I've successfully taken that on my entire career, and I can take this one on. So you feel he should be prosecuted? I believe that the policies of this administration should be prosecuted. I believe that when you put babies in cages, when you separate children from their parents, when you pass a tax bill that

benefits the top 1% and the biggest corporations in this country to the point that 60 corporations last year, the biggest, paid no taxes. Meanwhile, you got farmers in Iowa who got soybeans rotting in bins because of his so-called trade policy. He said he was going to come in and help working people. He's helped the top 1% and the biggest corporations. Meanwhile, some estimate that as many as 700,000 auto workers were going to lose their job before the end of the year. There is a long, long rap sheet. I'd love to see

crowds screaming, lock him up at your rallies. Remember they were doing that to Hillary? Lock her up. They did that. They're still doing it at his rallies. Your people should do that at yours. Can you break something down for me? When it comes to President Obama, they always talk about how he deported more illegal immigrants than any other sitting president

and they show pictures of the conditions of the border when he was in the White House. What's the difference? The difference is with tone and perspective on the issue of immigration. I do not question Barack Obama's perspective on this issue. He is, and I believe him to be a humanitarian who understands that we need to, obviously, we need to have border protection.

But we also are a country that has said that we will give you refuge if you are fleeing harm. And so that's a major difference between President Obama and the current occupant of the White House. What about ripping families apart? Because from my understanding, I thought President Barack Obama was not separating children from their families. That's right. And there were also policies under the Obama administration that the Trump administration has ended that were about allowing the families to go through a process not in a cage, not in a private detention facility, where they would to go through a process, not in a cage, not in a private detention

facility, where they would go through the asylum process, but they wouldn't be locked up like they're criminals. That's not how this administration has been conducting itself. You mentioned, the debate in Miami. So the next morning, I went down to a place in Florida called Homestead. And in Homestead, Florida, there is a private detention facility that is currently housing 2,700 children. Yikes. So we get there. Now, I am a member of the United States Senate. I'm on the Senate Intelligence Committee. I'm on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, in addition to others. They would not let us go inside to see what was going on inside the detention facility. They're being paid by

American tax dollars, but it's a private detention facility. So there are a couple of points here. One, a private detention facility. It's about some people making a lot of money of the incarceration of other people called children. So they wouldn't let us in. So I walked down the road and got on a ladder. And what I saw were these children lined up in single file by gender, being walked into barracks. These children have done nothing wrong. And the other thing you should know

about what's going on in Homestead and other places, many of them, their parents are outside, wanting their babies. So back to your point about what was going on with the Obama administration, at least while they were going through the process, they were allowed to be together as a family unit and actually had higher returns on the number of people who would show up for the proceedings when you treated people with humanity. Right.

Because at the end of the day, these are still human beings. These are children. These are people. And I see they're going to be doing these immigration raids that's supposed to be starting on Sunday. I know. So what can be done about this? Support those community-based organizations that are giving assistance to the families. And, you know, and it's churches, it's community organizations, it's nonprofits that are doing all this work.

So support that. But ultimately, we need a new president. How can you win with Russian interference, though? Because I think he's an illegitimate president that didn't really win. So how do you, you know, fight against that in 2020? You are absolutely right. So again, as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I will tell you that we should believe exactly what the intelligence community has told us, which is Russia did interfere in the election of the president of the United States in 2016. Listen to what Christopher Wray has told us, who is the current head of the FBI, that 2020, we all should have good reason to know,

might be worse than 2016. And here's the thing about it, though. So Russia, longstanding adversary, foe of the United States, wants to regain whatever power it once had, right? And so they're trying to figure out how can they make us weaker. So what do they do? They then say, how can we get the American public to not have confidence and to start going at each other? How can we break whatever unity exists in that country? So they test out a couple of things. Guess what gains the most heat? Racism?

Race. You know, people have said, if you look at, for example, the whole, remember the whole, the heat that ended up around the bend the knee and Colin Kaepernick. Many smart people have said it actually was not a thing. The Russian bots started taking that on. Really? Yes. You feel like you're being targeted by Russian bots now?

Well, we already know we are. You know, they say almost half of all Americans approve of Trump's handling of the economy. People care about their money. Everything else we're talking about now is great. I saw Bob Johnson, the founder of BET, make a statement about that as well. So how do you run against what looks like a strong economy? And is it a strong economy? This president will walk around, right,

clucking about how this economy is doing great. Unemployment rate at an all-time low. Yeah, but here's the thing, guys. Here's the thing. When you ask how are you measuring the greatness of this economy of yours, you know what they point to? They point to the stock market. Stock market up.

Well, that's fine if you own stocks. That's true. Then you ask, well, how else are you measuring the greatness, the so-called greatness of this economy of yours? And they talk to your point, Charlamagne, about the unemployment numbers. Well, I'm going to tell you something. I'm traveling our country. Yes, people are working. They're working two and three jobs.

And in our America, people should only have to work one job to have a roof over their head and be able to put food on the table. You know why that's big when you say that? Because you're Jamaican. So for a Jamaican to be telling people they only have one job, I've heard that's pretty big. He's just

living in living color. Bless his heart. He's just living in living color. Bless his heart. He's just living back in the day. Oh, my goodness. But we do think about how stressful that is on a person who has a family and has to work two or three jobs and can't spend the time they need to spend at home, and it's stressful, period. That's right, and to your point, it's stressful. It has all kinds of generational impact when parents and families

have to work two and three jobs just to put food on the table and pay the bills. And I'm going to tell you something. Let's keep going with this point. In America today, for almost half of American families, they cannot afford a $400 unexpected expense. In America today, in 99% of the counties, if you are a minimum wage worker working full time, you cannot afford market rate for a one bedroom apartment. So part of what I'm proposing is that we change the tax code.

So for families that make less than $100,000 a year, they get a $6,000 tax credit that they can receive it up to $500 a month, which is all the difference between those families being able to get through the end of $500 a month, which is all the difference between those families being able to get through the end of the month or not. And see, the difference between my approach and this current president's approach is he's

all about helping the richest people. Right. All right. We have more with Senator Kamala Harris. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Senator Kamala Harris. Yee. Since we're talking about finances, I want you to explain something to me. So I saw you were talking about credit reports. Yes, yes, yes. And what's reported on credit reports. Yes, yes.

And then you're proposing, along with other people, that rent. AOC, right? Yeah. She's with me on, I'm sure, I would assume that she'll support this, but on fair housing. Yeah. All right. But this is about being able to report your rent, your phone and things like that on your credit report. Yeah. Now, some people might feel like that's not beneficial. And I can see to the point that it is because some people don't have credit and they need more on their credit report. But what about people who may, you know, have some issues, miss some rent payments and not want that on there?

That's a good point. Okay, so the policy that you're referring to is I have a plan that is about really reducing the racial wealth gap in America, which is profound. So part of what it is is this. If you look at the history of our country, one of the greatest sources of wealth and assets for a middle-class family is home ownership. Correct. So let's just do a quick history lesson. World War II, the GI Bill, all those bills that were about all these returning veterans. So there was government assistance to these returning veterans to help them buy homes. Well, black veterans, not so much. So when we had a surge of assistance to help people with home ownership, it excluded an entire population of people.

You fast forward to, you know, years then and later, including today, redlining, where there were rules in place and practices in place that excluded black folks from buying homes in certain communities and those communities which you know often would actually have see rising value for the home ownership right you go fast forward to 2017 during the foreclosure crisis black families latino families immigrant families were the most devastated and black families in particular have recovered the slowest from that. So what we're talking about now is generational exclusion from a main source of wealth, which is home ownership. Now, let's think about this in context. What does that mean? Well, that means that when your child

graduates high school or college and says, I want to start a business. Well, there are some families that can say, well, I'll go into the assets that we have in our home to give you a loan to start your business. Put the equity out. You want to go to Hampton or better yet, Howard. And I'll say, well, you know what? I don't want you to have to rack up those student loans. I'm going to pull some equity out the home to help you pay for tuition. Intergenerational wealth creates intergenerational wealth. The lack of access to that wealth creates

intergenerational debt. So what I'm proposing is what would be a hundred billion dollar federal investment in addressing that. Specifically, this is how it's going to work. For families that are living in federally subsidized housing or families that are living in traditionally redline districts, they will have access to these loans that will be about helping them with down payments to actually buy a home. To your point about the credit piece, so much of how people can qualify for a loan is based on their credit history, their credit rating, right? So credit ratings tend to rate the credit of people who already have assets. So they rate things like

how many credit cards you have. Are you paying those credit cards off on time? Well, that assumes you have credit cards, which means it assumes you already have good, you have assets.

Right. So anybody who currently doesn't have those kinds of assets is excluded. They said it's worse sometimes than having bad credit. Right. Because you're excluded from getting that thing that says, oh, this is a good bet to give you a loan for a home. So what I'm saying is there are plenty of families who have,

they are financially responsible, but they don't have a lot of assets. And so let's, if the whole point of credit rating is to figure out who's financially responsible, then let's do that. So what I want to do is extend it to say you're paying your phone bill on time every month. That's financial responsibility. I want to count that. You're paying the rent every month on time.

That's financial responsibility. You're paying your utilities every month on time? That's financial responsibility. You paying your utilities on time every month? That's financial responsibility. I want to count that. Towards your credit. Yeah. And your credit standing, your credit status, to determine if you should qualify for a loan.

Because the whole point of it is supposed to be to measure, are you financially responsible? You partnered with AOC on that, right? Yes. So the one we're partnering with that we announced yesterday is similar. It has to do with formerly incarcerated folks. You know, there's a one-strike

policy in public housing. So if you have a conviction, you can't live in public housing. And your whole family gets kicked out. And your whole family. So the bill that AOC and I are working on and we just announced is can't live in public housing and be a victim and your whole family so the bill that um aoc and i are working on and we just announced is to basically eliminate that as a basis for evicting that person or that family why is aoc so polarizing to older democrats you think i you know i think that when you have anyone who is as smart and as bold as her questioning the system and doing it

in such an effective way, it can throw people off their game. Talk about Alexandria Cortez. What do you think about her calling Nancy Pelosi disrespectful for singling out women of color for being a part of the Twitter world and saying they don't have a real following? Yeah, I mean, listen, that's not my experience with Nancy

Pelosi. And I've known her and worked with her for years. I've known her to be very respectful of women of color and very supportive of them. So I have a different experience. So do you think sexism plays a part in that as well? And even with yourself, I'm sure you see a lot of sexism. And even just looking at how women's rights are being attacked right now when it comes to our bodies and even looking at Donald Trump and seeing how women can accuse him so many over 20 women accuse him of sexual

assault or sexual misconduct and he can come up with an excuse like oh she's not my type and people accept that isn't that something no you're right look I mean to your point um women's access to reproductive health is full on under attack in America today. And let's be really clear to your point. And this is not being extreme. Women will die. And in particular, poor women and women of color. Right.

Because we will not have access to be able to travel to another state where there's legal and physician-assisted help. And then there'll be illegal backdoor abortion. Right. Just like there used to be. Right. So it is a real issue. And to your point, it speaks to a larger issue, which is in our society, historically and today, women are not given full credit for having the ability to make decisions not only about their body,

but about their families, their community. I mean, here's one of the other things that I'm prepared to do, which is deal with the issue of equal pay. We passed the Equal Pay Act in 1963. Fast forward to the year of our Lord, 2019. Women are paid 80 cents on the dollar, black women 61 cents. Native American women, 58 cents. Latinas, 53 cents. We're still having this conversation. So here's what I'm prepared to do. Instead of putting the burden on that working woman to prove that she's not getting paid as much, I'm going to shift the burden to the corporations to require that they prove they're paying people equally. And then they have to post that information on their website,

and to the point that they are paying women differently than men for every 1% that they're paying women different than men, an equal 1% of their previous year's profits will be fined, and they will have to pay, and that will get their attention. All right, we got more with Senator Kamala Harris when we come back. Don't move. It's club good morning good morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the god we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with senator kamala harris charlamagne let's get a little bit talk about joe biden talk about the debate you've

gotten joe biden's ass at the debate gotten his ass yeah you pressed him on his record about busing but a lot of people have noted that, you know, your position on busing is the same as Biden's. Is it the same? No, it is not. Okay. That's a misconception. Let's clear that up.

It is. I got that from Fox News. Yeah, no. I'm sorry. Well, everybody's entitled to their opinion, including him. But let's clear that up. Thank you. We cannot rewrite history on this.

And that was part of the reason I raised it on that stage. America's history on this issue is that there had to be busing because there were people like those segregationists who served in the United States Senate, who served in the Congress, who served in state houses, who were using every breath they had to fight against integration of the public schools of America. And before that, were using every power they had to segregate those schools. So busing had to happen.

And the fact is that we just have a disagreement, the vice president and I, on that point, which is I absolutely am in favor of what had to happen at that time. And he and I have a disagreement about that in terms of his believing that that was necessary or not. And then fast forward to today. Look, America's schools are segregated now as they were then for a variety of reasons that are different. Now we don't have people in state houses and legislatures in the United States Congress who are pushing for segregation by law and pushing against integration. I mean, here's where I'm going to go through a little bit of history, but I think it's really important to mention. So Brown versus Board education in 1954,

the United States Supreme Court said separate but equal is not constitutional. You cannot say that when you have black children and white children being educated separately, that they're getting an equal education because we know that's not the case. So Brown v. Board of Education said desegregate America's schools. Part of what, and I wouldn't be standing here if Brown v. Board of Education wasn't decided. That being said, part of the, I think, unintended consequence, perhaps, but part of the effect was white families started, and those families with resources started pulling their children out of these public schools so that their children would not have to go to school. And what happened over a period of time was that we started pulling resources out of public education. And so, again, in almost the majority of states,

you will find that it is poor children and children of color who are in a situation where their schools, their teachers, their administrations are not being given the resources that are necessary to adequately educate our children. So you're not for busing, or you are for busing? For that period of time, absolutely. Yes, absolutely. Okay. He was tight about that one. I'm saying that right now, mandatory busing. Or you are for busing. For that period of time? Absolutely. Yes. Absolutely. Okay.

He was tight about that one. I'm saying that right now, mandatory busing, look, busing in terms of whether a school district decides to do it, it's up to them and that's in their tool belt. But what we have now is a situation that is very different than then where we needed court intervention. Because, again, getting into the details, right now courts would not intervene to require mandatory

busing because there are a series of cases that said they can't so that's where we are what's your relationship with Joe Biden because he seemed like a little startled and a little upset about that he said he was surprised you attacked him he even met Bo before and I was like what does that have to do with the other it felt like he was looking for sympathy what's your relationship

let's go back to Barack Obama. I supported him when he ran for United States Senate. He came out and supported me when I ran for re-election as district attorney of San Francisco. I'm told that I was the first elected person in California to endorse him when he decided to run for president. Along with my family, we went out to Springfield when he and Michelle announced his candidacy. And so I was very involved from the very beginning of that campaign. I will remind you, and it is important to know,

that early in those days, Joe Biden was running against Barack Obama. That's when he was making comments like Barack Obama was the first black male he ever met that was bright, articulate and clean. But then there was a joining forces. And now, you know, former President Obama chose Joe Biden as vice president. So I got to know him loosely in the connection with that campaign. Bo, his son, you know, I write about in my book, was an incredible person, an incredible human being, and a very dear friend to me. When I was battling the big banks, Bo stood with me.

He was the Attorney General of Delaware at the time. And through Bo, I got to know his father, mostly just because of the love that segregationists in the United States Senate stood and lived their careers to segregate the races in public education in the United States. And that I was one of those many children who was personally impacted by that. And I'm not going to let us engage on a debate stage for who's going to be the next president of the United States. I'm not going to allow us to engage in revisionist history. After I said that, I cannot tell you the

number of men and women who have said to me, I was that girl. I was that boy. And I can't stand on that stage and allow certain conversations to be taking place. Because remember, I didn't stand on that stage and allow certain conversations to be taking place. Because remember, I didn't bring this conversation up about these segregationists.

That had been going on for weeks. But I cannot be on that stage and not speak up to make sure that we are having a full accounting for American history on these issues. Did he hit you up behind the scenes? Like, why'd you do that to me? No. Nothing at all? No. I want to ask you one last question. How does it make you feel as a black woman when you see white men like Joe Biden leading

the polls amongst black voters? Just personally, how does that make you feel? I don't take it personal. It's relatively early in the campaign. And I'm still in the process of introducing myself to folks. He, on the other hand, has run for president three times.

He served for two terms as vice president of the United States under a very popular president. So more people are going to know him. But I will tell you, I am seeing that the more that we are out there and can introduce ourselves. And I am working from dawn to dusk every day. I am out there, and I'm spending a lot of time in South Carolina and Iowa and New Hampshire and Nevada. And you're seeing results. And we're seeing results.

And we're seeing results. So I think that the job for me is to make sure that people know that we're here and that, you know, this is our message, this is our plan. And what I'm seeing is that when they hear it and know it, they are supportive. Is there a political risk in having a specific black agenda? There shouldn't be. It is about America's agenda.

You know, when we talk about the history of redlining, that's about America's history. That's not about black history. Even conversations about reparations, that's American history. That's about American history. It That's not about black history. Even conversations about reparations. That's about American history. It's not black history. And the agenda is broad. I mean, there's a lot on the table.

A lot. Yeah. We didn't even get to address half of it today. No, we didn't. And there's so much more. Can I come back? Of course. Of course you can come back. I'm sure I'm here.

We've got a long campaign. I know you guys will be here next time. Okay, yes. I appreciate you for joining us. And I know you've been ripping and running, but when's the last time you had fun? I'm so sad. Oh my goodness.

I have had no time off. Let me tell you how sad it has been. The last, you know, I love to cook. Right. The last time I cooked

was to prepare a roast chicken for a morning show that wanted to see if I knew how to cook. That was that long ago. That's weird. And that was a couple weeks. You got hubby eating McDonald's and cooking chicken.

My poor husband. Let me just tell you. My poor husband. I don't like that. Let me tell you what I did. That was kind of racist. Let me tell you. I don't like that.

No. It didn't make you cry. It was my choice. I wanted, it was my choice I wanted it was my choice I wanted to but let me know what I've been doing

is that whenever I'm home which is so rare these days I will cook like a big pot of something and then freeze it in these like

two and three cup containers and put it in the freezer and mark it so that when my husband is there by himself he can have some home cooked food poor hubby

poor hubby how well she gotta go I'll sorry. How is it? Oh, she got to go. I'll go after how is it for him because me and him had a conversation last night. Yeah. Just as a man, you feel like you got to protect your wife. So when you see the Trump juniors and everybody getting at you about certain things,

like he really has to sit on his hands, hold his tongue on a lot of things, you know? Yeah. He does. He's, and he is very protective. I mean, to the point that he had to jump on stage one day. And I'm sure your whole career has been like that from, you know, everything that you've done up until now, being attorney general, being attacked. Right. And that's true. But you're exactly right.

But but also to your point, being told it can't be done is not something that I just heard for the first time. I've been told that my entire career. Breaking barriers is about breaking things. And that's number of for the first time. I've been told that my entire career. Breaking barriers is about breaking things. And that's painful. There's a lot of women in government now. Yeah, right. That's right. In 2018. That's a great place, I think, to end, which is with optimism.

In 2018, we elected over 100 women to the United States Congress. Historic. People are woke. And they're ready. Give them that website again. KamalaHarris.org. Please go to KamalaHarris.org. Well, Senator, thank you for joining us again. I appreciate you. Always a pleasure. Senator Kamala Harris. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart?

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. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning, guys. What's happening? It's Friday. Yes, it is. You guys not happy? It's Friday, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning, guys. What's happening? It's Friday. Yes, it is. You guys not happy? It's Friday, Jimmy. Sit your ass down.

I'm excited. It's Friday. Why are you so excited? And let me say congratulations to our girl, Natina, because you know she just got a promotion. What up, Natina? Drop one of Clues Bombs for Natina, damn it. She is the senior VP of Urban Promotion. Congratulations to her.

You making that money, Natina? She's taking us all out. That's right. And drop one of Clues Bombs for our guy, Wayno. Wayno. Wayno. Yes. of Urban Promotion. Congratulations to her. She's taking us all out. And dropping the clues bombs for our guy, Wayno. Wayno! Yes. He's an A&R asylum now. I hate that I have all these industry friends, but

they weren't always industry. Wayno used to come up here. He was a struggling guy. He had no money. Wayno hates when we say that about him. Wayno is my guy. When the Breakfast Club used to actually have breakfast up here, Wayno used to come up here. We were his Black Panther program.

He would come up here and get free breakfast. That is true. Now look at my guy. That's right. He's doing big things out there. He's on Everyday Struggle. He's A&R'd Asylum. Shout out to Gap.

He did A&R. Shout out to Wayno. What up, Way? Woo, that was great. Tina always had money, though. Yeah, she did. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Janis Smith.

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. So Jaden Smith says that now he wants to be an inventor.

He is switching professions, and he's becoming a full-time inventor. He said this to Complex. He said, I'm going to spend all of my time inventing new technologies because I think I'm better at that than making music. But he is still going to make music because he said, I invent new songs, I invent new ways to make music but I'm not a musician. And he

has done a lot of things. He has his Just Water brand. He created a filtration system for Flint, Michigan. He also has that restaurant on wheels, the I Love You Vegan Restaurant, which delivered those vegan meals to the homeless. He said it's only the beginning and he's not going to stop until he's like Elon Musk. I love it. Hey man, drop on

the clues bomb for Jaden Smith. I keep telling y'all he's the Gandhi of our time. Cancer gang all day. I really like that guy. I love it. I love it. I love it. Now he also talked in this article about goal features. He said people that pretty much musically raised him was Tyler, Rocky, and Cudi. That is the dream.

There was another group of people I wanted to be on the album that I couldn't get, which I was very, very, very, very sad about, but it's okay. We save it for something else, and that group of people was Amigos. Shout out to the Amigos. I love you. I'm sorry about Met Gala that one time. What happened at Met Gala that one time? I don't know. But that's what he said.

Alright, so Lil Wayne. He has apparently what he said. Okay. All right. So Lil Wayne, he has apparently quit this Blink-182 tour. Or maybe he just was talking ish. But he was performing. And then about 20 minutes into the show, according to reports, he said this. I just want the people to know, if you wonder, please forgive me, but I am so not used to performing to a crowd and it's not too, you know, like still phone. That's not my swag.

I'm not sure how long I'm going to be able to do this tour. But make some noise for Blink-182 for including me anyway. This might be my last night, though. Let's go. We all feel like that sometimes. You wake up in the morning, you're like, I don't think I want to go to one. But he said it's a different crowd. It's probably a different fan base. They probably don't know all the music.

So he's probably sitting there like, I'm Lil Wayne. Man, Lil Wayne probably just tired. Lil Wayne is damn near 40 years old. He going bald. Like, Lil Wayne probably just don't want to be out there no more. Well, they said the attendance wasn't that great. At that concert. That would do it, too.

Because think about the people. It could have been because of the weather. The people give you energy. When you see them, you might be tired. But as soon as you get out there, you see all those people. You amp. You get out there and you tired. You don't see nobody.

You're like, man, I want to go home, man. I got to keep my hat on all night so it don't fall off and people see this bald spot. All right, Jermaine Dupri sat down with People Magazine and had some things to say about women who are rappers. I feel like they're all rapping about the same thing. And I don't think they're showing us who's the best rapper. It's like strippers rapping. As far as rap goes, I'm not getting who is the best rapper. It's like strippers rapping. As far as rap goes, I'm not getting who is the best rapper.

I'm getting like, okay, you got a story about you dancing in a club. You got a story about you dancing in a club. All right, who's going to be the rapper? So you're something different. What is the thing that you want to see? If you're not like... Just more, I mean, I feel like at some point,

somebody's going to have to break out of that mold and just show us, you know, talk about other things. I don't agree, J.D. Well, you know what? A lot of people don't agree. I don't agree. So y'all marinate on that, and in the next hour,

we'll give you some responses and our thoughts. Yeah, we can't talk about it now? No, we don't have time. Oh, man, I want to talk about that. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. Would you marinate on that? Yes, but please make sure you bring that back up in the report. I am.

Because I don't agree. Because I'm going to give you Cardi's responses. I'm going to tell you what Melly had to say. J.D.'s my guy. Yes. But that's Cardi B's story. That's her real story. All these guys rap about the same stories all the time.

They're ops, drug dealing, guns, violence, their penises. We'll talk about it. Who raps about their penis? Marinate on it. Marinate on it, you said. All right, let's marinate on it. So marinate about who raps about their penis. No, you marinate on it. No, that's what you said. You marinate on it. That's the last thing you said. Hold it. Who raps about their penis? Marinate on it. Marinate on it, you said. Let's marinate on it. So, marinate about who raps about their penis. No, you marinate on it.

No, that's what you said. You marinate on it. That's the last thing you said. Hold it. What did you get this morning? What did you get this morning as a gift? You. You know what? I'm not messing with you. I'm not messing with you this morning, man. That's what my son thinks we're sus. You know what? Every day my son says you and Charlamagne are really sus. I heard what y'all

said today. Who taught your son sus at a white school? I don't know. But he thinks we're sus. You can't take Sus1's name like that. He really thinks we're sus. All right. Who are you giving that donkey to? Well, you have donkey today coming up.

Who are you handing out that donkey to this morning? I want to talk about vertically challenged people. I happen to be one, but I don't have the insecurities of some vertically challenged people. So I hope to instill some confidence in some men out there this morning. Okay, you're talking about short people? Yes, vertically challenged. Well, you can't say that. Come on, stop.

Donkey of the Day is a man. I didn't say it. Yes, you did. You can't say that word. It's not politically correct, so I didn't say it. Yes, you did. All right, Donkey of the Day is next. 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. I am

King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried 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 warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! with the 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 On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, guys, let me get a sip of water. Okay, the hockey of the day for Friday, July 12th goes to a 45-year-old man named Chris Morgan. 45 years old, all right? He's from Long Island, New York,

and Chris Morgan is 5 feet tall. That's it. 5 feet tall, all right? The average height for men in America over 20 years old is five feet, nine inches. So Chris is nine inches below the national average, and the poor guy's insecure about it. It's actually very sad to watch because I'm short. Actually, I guess I'm average height.

I clock in around 5'9". You ain't no damn 5'9". 5'9". That means you're not quite 5'9". You're about 5'4". I said around. Maybe like 5'8", all right? It's just something,

it's honestly something I never thought about, all right? Okay? Yeah. Maybe because I grew up listening to Phife Dawg, Rest in Peace, when Phife said, I'm all Latin, Ninsome, Short Dawg, and Handsome. All right?

That's how I always felt about myself. Hearing Phife call himself the 5-footer or the 5-foot assassin, or listening to Eazy-E say, My height don't fight. Remember that?-E say, my height don't fight. Remember that? That's right. My height don't fight, damn it.

All right? Those songs instilled self-confidence in me as a young man because I realized I wasn't alone. Not to mention, it's not like I was looking up to everyone. Most people with my height are not that much taller than me. And if they were taller than me, it's not anything I ever thought about. Not to mention, okay, back in my thought days, when I was far from the faithful black male that I am now, tall women used to love my little sawed-off ass.

So when it came to height, I never understood what I was missing, all right? I never understood the struggle people have with being vertically challenged. So I can't relate to you little fun-sized fools and your insecurities about being built like a minibar. Now, depending on who you ask, Chris Morgan is either a bite-sized bully or a pint-sized punk. It's all about perspective.

And from up here, we probably can't see things the way he does down there, but Chris Morgan was in a bagel shop called Bagel Boss where he decided to lash out over being repeatedly rejected by women because of his five-foot stature. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to Inside Edition for the report, please. Everywhere I go, I get the same smirk with the biting lip. A customer just loses it because he says women reject him over his size. Why is it okay for women to say, oh, you're five feet on dating sites. You should be dead.

That's okay. Who said that to you here? Nobody. Women in general have said it on dating sites. You think I'm making up? Now watch what happens when another customer tells him to you here. Nobody. Women in general have said it on dating sites. You think I'm making that up? Now watch what happens when another customer tells him to calm down. Dude, you want to step outside? I'm not scared of you. Then somebody else tells him to cool it. Go ahead and attack me, big. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Back on his feet, he aims his anger at the female staff working the counter. All you women should be shut up. All of you. All of you. Yeah, all of you. No, you women need to stop being so... The crazy video took place here at Bagel Boss in Bayshore, Long Island. We've learned his name is Chris Morgan.

Why does he sound like Joe Pesci? Joe Pesci's short, too, but Joe Pesci got way more confidence than that guy. Listen, man, women, women, women, women, women, women can give men all the confidence in the world and they can give us all the insecurities in the world. All right, the male ego is already fragile, but if Chris was getting action from the ladies, he would not care about his height. If he was a peewee-sized playboy, he wouldn't be thinking about his height at all.

It's not his lack of height that's hurting his feelings. It's his lack of women. You can be the size of a Oompa Loompa and still provide orgasms. Like, this is the level of insecurity that Chris might need to go see a therapist about. Chris, do you know the serenity prayer? Chris, do you know the serenity prayer? I repeat, Chris, do you know the serenity prayer? If you don't, I'll say it for you.

I have time to say it because it's short. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Chris Morgan, God made you a lowrider. Alright? It is what it is. The problem is, you don't have an however. Alright? In life, you always

have to have a however. Remember when Biggie Smalls said, black and ugly as ever? However? Alright? Biggs, however, was, he was Gucci down to the socks, rings and watch filled with rocks. Not to mention he was charismatic and funny. He had game. Chris, you have to be a goober with game.

All right, that's how you get the women. You have to find a however, Chris. All right, House Mouse, do you hear me? You have to find a however. All right. Now, I don't relate to people like Chris Morgan. You are really making us shortstops look weak. Some people are beer mugs.

Some people are shot glasses. That's the way God designed it. That's just the way it is. Now, Chris spoke to Inside Edition's Allison Hall. Let's hear what he had to say. He spoke to Inside Edition producer Allison Hall. Do you think that a bagel shop is really the place to take out all of this anger with all of these strangers, public, innocent people around?

Why not? What do you mean take it out? You're acting like I'm in a mass shooting or something. He was quickly done talking. You know what? I don't really, no offense, I don't really like you that much, so this interview's over. Clearly, clearly this guy never got his bagel, all right,

because he sounds hungry, all right, hangry. Hangry little hobbit. All right, egotistical evil Ewok. All right, Chris, listen to me. Arrogance is the camouflage of insecurity, and we all see through your camouflage, sir. All right, Chris, if you're out there listening, I know you're in Long Island. This is where our headquarters are, here in New York City, Power 105.1.

This has never happened before in The Breakfast Club. I'm going to actually play a tune for somebody. You know what I'm saying? I feel like if Chris was to call into this radio station, he would request this record. I wish I was a little bit taller. I wish I was a baller.

I wish I had a girl for the kid I would call her. Please give Chris Morgan the biggest hee-haw. That's actually not the biggest hee-haw. That's actually the shortest hee-haw we got. Technically by time, because I got the Kathy Griffin one, the Remy Maul one. I got the Chelsea Handler one, the Hamilton. That's actually the shortest hee-haw we got.

So let me rephrase that. Please give Chris Morgan the shortest hee-haw we have. Oh, man. He's having a good time. And that guy that threw him on the floor at the bagel shop. That was wrong. That was child abuse. You didn't have to do that to that man.

No, seriously. All jokes aside, that was just an abuse of height. You didn't have to do that. I'm serious. That was child abuse. He should be arrested for endangering a child. I'm calling Dyfus. That was wrong. That was wrong. He didn't have to do that. I'm serious. That was child abuse. He should be arrested for endangering a child. I'm calling Dyfus. That was wrong.

That was wrong. He didn't have to do that. Just give the man a wedgie, man. You ain't got to throw him on the floor. Just give him a wedgie. That's all you got to do. He was angry. Hang him on the fence.

You can't give him a wedgie. Why can't you? That's child molestation. You can't do that. You know what? What's wrong with you? Thank you for that dog of the day. When we come back, Bill Bellamy will be joining us.

See that's why you look good You let it roll off Yeah I laugh I laugh too much. I laugh at things I shouldn't be laughing at. Hey, man, let me tell you something, man. I'm with you. Now, let's start from the beginning.

A lot of people don't know. Bill Bellamy, he's done a lot in this industry. Yes, I have. Let's start from the beginning. How long has your career been? He was a VJ at first. Yeah, I was a VJ. So I was doing stand-up, right?

Originally from Newark. I'm originally from Newark, New Jersey. Brick City was good. I was doing stand-up, right? Originally from Newark. I'm originally from Newark, New Jersey. Brick City. What's good? I was doing stand-up here in the city. And Tracy Jordan from MTV, she was a talent scout and talent relations person, saw me. And she was like, you're a really funny kid. Do you like music? Because I work for MTV.

I didn't even have MTV in my neighborhood. Because MTV wasn't everywhere. Right. So I was like, I thought she was lying. I was like, what? MTV? MTV? I heard about it. She was like, here's my card. Call me because I'm going to give you an on-air audition. So I was like, oh, wow. I ain't had no manager

so I had my man call. I was like, yo, act like you're my manager and see if this chick can pick up the phone. She picked up the phone. I was like, oh! So case in point, I get the audition and next thing you know, I'm on TV. But what people don't realize is was before that happened, my career happened like it was like a one-two punch. So I'm doing comedy.

I get Def Jam. So I take my Def Jam. So just imagine I tape Def Jam in December, right? It airs in January, and then I'm on MTV in March. Oh, you did Def Jam before? Yeah, I taped Def Jam in December, right? It airs in January, and then I'm on MTV in March. Oh, you did Def Jam before? Yeah, I taped it when it aired, like, boom, boom. So to everybody, it was like, yo, Bill Bellamy blew up. But it was just the timing of everything.

So I went from being a funny comedian where everybody just knew my one joke. They didn't even know my name. People did not know my name. They was like, yo, you my man that do the car joke. Yo, Ralph Bellamy, yo. Oh, yes, my man, Ralph Bellamy. And then when I went to MTV, because every day I said, yo, this is Bill Bellamy, this is Bill Bellamy.

So no one ever called me just Bill. They was like, yo, that's Bill Bellamy. Gotcha. You see what I'm saying? So then I got on MTV. That just changed my life because MTV at that time was what YouTube and social media is today. So, like, for me, because this is why I thought about I got to do a book,

because most people don't know how connected I am to everyone's success, especially in the music business, you know what I'm saying? Talk to me, talk to me. Like Puff, you know what I'm saying? Like, me and Puff go all the way back. Like, I remember when Puff, like, this was crazy. When Puff was hanging out, he was giving out bad boy T-shirts. He just got his big deal.

We was all coming up together, right? So he's like DJing. He's hustling his bad boy stuff. He got the street team. Next thing I know, he went from Puff to Puff Daddy to Daddy to Boom Boom Pow. You know, Jay-Z, when he first came out, he had to get on MTV to blow up. So me and Jay is out in Aspen. He's like, yo, we the only black dudes out here.

I'm like, I know. Because I was doing stuff that black people wasn't seeing on TV. I was going places and interviewing everybody that was coming up in the game. And you would go platinum. Like, literally, you could be a new artist and get on MTV. And you just launched. That's how powerful it was at that time. You know what I'm saying?

So when Pac got out of jail, I got to interview. You know, when Snoop's first album, I'm right there. I'm right there in Jimmy Iovine's office listening to the entire album with Dr. Dre. So I was just like, I got to do a book because these stories and interesting parts of the music business, I think people will be bugging because it'll never go back to that. Right. What made you leave the music? Because you were so successful.

You were the black guy that did all the hip-hop stuff. Yeah. And that's so wild to think. When you think about MTV, you think about Fab Five, Fred. You think about Sway. You even think about Ed Lover. I don't ever put you in that mix, but you were right there. I was right there.

But see, the thing was, the difference between Fab, Fab was like, You think about Sway, you even think about Ed Lover. I don't ever put you in that mix, but you were right there. I was right there. But see, the thing was, the difference between Fab, Fab was like, Fab would be like a senior. I came in as a freshman, right? So Fab, Fab, Freddie, he was like the originator or the culture on MTV, right? And then you had Dr. Dre and Ed Lover, right? And they had- Yo, MTV Raps. Yo, MTV Raps. But see, I was MTV Jams.

So MTV Jams was like a hybrid of everything that they was doing, but then also pop. So the white in there. We was black and white. So I had the white artists. I had Babyface. Then I turned around and I had Collective Soul. Then I turned around.

So if you was pop, you was on Jams. And that was what was dope because then a kid like Usher could just go from, you know, a gold to diamond. Because now the white kids is going crazy. They got to get it. They got to have it. MTV deems you a success when you're on there, right? So we do an interview.

It was to your benefit as a new artist like for us to come on your show because right now your show has the pulse of the culture and y'all y'all don't care y'all do everything you know what i mean you what i like about this show is you guys you you you are topical and you're not just stuck to music you do everything that's what that's why i feel the show has such a great audience because there's something for everybody and i think when i what i was trying to do with with MTV was I was trying to blow my people up. Period. Like I wanted you to win. I'm like dog

we out here. You know what I'm saying? When Will Smith did his first big movie Independence Day he was with me right there. Yo I'm about to blow up.

I'm like I see it you got a spaceship they ain't never seen a brother like me. You know what I'm saying? So why did you leave the MTV because you were doing

it so well and you were so you know what I mean? I wanted to be a movie star. I didn't want to just be a music guy. So what I did was I started with, I did Dre and Ed's movie, which was Who's the Man. Just a little cameo.

Remember, there was a bunch of hip-hop people in that one. That was my taste. I was like, yo, I kind of like this movie thing. I want to remake that. Yeah, wasn't that a fun movie? It was cameos for days. Hilarious. Oh, my God. Charlie Mack, remake that. Yeah, wasn't that a fun movie? Absolutely. It was cameos for days. Hilarious. Oh my God. Charlie Mack, hurry up. Charlie Mack!

Got to shout out Charlie Mack. And then I did Love Jones. And so now I'm like, yo, man, this is like kind of fly, you know, doing movies. And then I did How to Be a Player. Then I was like, you know what? That was the one. That was a classic. I am really going to do this movie thing. Yeah, How to Be a Player is a classic.

Yeah, it's just one of those movies that I'll just love and everybody to this day still talk about. How'd that come about? Was that straight from MTV? Russell was like, you're handsome. You're charismatic. I think this will be a fabulous movie for you to launch your career. You're fantastic on MTV, but I want to make you a movie star.

And that's boom. But he produced it. Def Jam produced that. Yeah, that was a Def Jam movie. And Island Pictures, yeah. Did that ruin you in real life? Did women really think you was a player? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. There you go with that. And he probably was back then. Oh, yeah, but I was. But not like to the, like people think, like literally like I was, but not like that. Like if you see my movie, I ain't even wash up. I was like, yo, I'm nasty. Like if you watch the movie, I just be leaving chick's house.

I don't even wash my hands. I'm like, yo, I ain't even, you know, nothing. I'm like, yo, I was wild. And I had like seven chicks in a day. That's a lot. You know, you're doing too much. I was doing too much. I was right.

That was way too much. So, but in real life, it was interesting. What I learned from doing movies is when you do a role that people gravitate to, they think that's really you. Like when I was in Love Jones, people didn't like me for about a year. I was like, I was just playing like that was in the script. I was just playing. Chicks was like, yo, no, you really dirty like that. How you going to do Lorenz Tate like that?

You supposed to be his man. And I was like, yo, that's the road. It's not like Bill the regular guy, you know. All right, we got more with Bill Bellamy.

When we come back, 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 comedian, VJ, actor, Bill Bellamy. Yee. So I see you have a daughter who just turned 16.

Yo, I want to give you a shout out. First of all, DJ Envy, I never told him this. First of all, this is my man. You're the only dude that really made me like, I should have had more kids. You ever see how many kids you got? I love it. Like, yo, you got the real family, though.

I love it, man. Like, I got two and I tapped out. But I mean, you got a dick, dick, dick, dick, dick. Like, they go in sizes. I'm dig, dig, dig. Like, they like, they go in sizes. Like, I'm like, yo, who does that, yo? I'm like, maybe, and then y'all do the cute outfits. I be like, yo, I should have had three more, though. Why'd you tap out?

I got scared, bro. Because I not really, no, I just, I was just good. I got my girl, I got my son, and I was like, good. Like, I didn't even think about it. And when I see this dude, I be like, yo, another daughter, I was just good. I got my girl, I got my son, and I was like, good. Like, I didn't even think about it. Like, and when I see this dude, I'd be like, yo, another daughter or son could be cool. What you ain't doing? I'm not doing it now. Why?

The gap is ridiculous. His gap is ridiculous. No, it's not. His daughter's 16. 16? My daughter's 17. My daughter's 17, and my youngest is two. How do you do it?

You take your d*** out, you put it in a vagina, you pump a few times and don't get out. Just put your elbows up. Do you have any kids? I have three. So you good? None. What you waiting on? I don't know. I've never tried to get pregnant.

I've always tried not to. You always trying. You scared. You kicking. Get off me. She kicking you in your chest. You ain't going to do that. What did you do with it? Well, maybe, maybe. This is a fertile.

It's coming. Anyway, can I tell y'all something real quick? And I just want to ask you because I've been thinking about this. Because y'all talk about topical stuff. Are these new straws messing with y'all? I hate them. I hate them. These cardboard straws. I hate them. Because they get all flim messing with y'all? I hate them. I hate them. These cardboard straws.

I hate them. Because they get all flimsy after a little while. I hate them. It's weird. I hate them. It's just weird, bro. They're trying to keep us from littering, but that make me want to throw it on the ground. It gets soggy, too.

Man, I went to the movies, man. And you know in the movies, you're watching a movie and you let it sit in there too long and that thing collapses, bro. Yes, sir. Like a flaccid penis. Oh! What? I don't know about that collab. Yes, like a flaccid penis A weak d*** in your mouth? What is wrong with Charlamagne? I'm just making sure you're paying attention. How you get this job, bro?

He said the straw breaks down like a flaccid penis. Like a flaccid penis in your mouth? But listen though, be honest. Isn't it like a flaccid penis? No, it's not. How would he know? I don't know that. I know what it tastes like.

I know what it feels like. It feels like you have... What? You said you know what it tastes like. No, no, no. I said I know what it feels like. No, no, no. I said I know what it feels like. When you have that cardboard straw, don't it seem like a box?

You ever cut up a box? You ever cut up a box after you done got something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. It tastes like what the box would taste like. Like the box, if you just had a box in your mouth. It's just... Bill, how poor was you in Newark, bro? You ain't never had a box your mouth. It's just... Bill, how poor was you in Newark, bro? That you was eating box?

You ain't never had a box. No. I mean, I eat box, but not that kind of box. Not that kind of box. Is the Shaq your cousin? How poor was you? Yeah, man.

Everybody didn't have money at first, bro. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? We came from something, man. Yeah. Cats was eating boxes. This wasn't Shaq's cousin.

Shaq made the NBA when he was like night 20, man. Yeah. He act like Shaq was rich when he was little. It was eating boxes. Because Shaq made the NBA when he was like night 20, man. He was like Shaq was rich when he was little. It was the same. He had the same money I had. None. We was talking about all this.

Did you have a trademark booty call? No. Oh, man. They still use that to this day. Yo, I heard it. I literally heard it on a TV show yesterday. Damn. People use booty call like it just came from them.

They don't know where it came from. They just use it and don't even know where it came from. Like, I see it's always a reference in a movie or a TV show. And I'm like, yo, but who was thinking of that in 92? Right. 1992. Did you know that you were going to be, you know, renovating homes? Did you know that?

No. See? If you would have started that in 92, you're not going to be the home you have right now. What's wrong with you, Iffy? Why didn't you have the fourth sign? I don't know, Bill. How did you come up with that term?

Do you remember the first time you used it? I remember. Literally, I remember exactly how I came up with the joke. It was because at the time, Mike Tyson had went to jail. He was in Indiana, and this girl went to his hotel room. So I read the article. That's how a lot of jokes come from reading, so I read a lot. And I was like, yo, that is crazy as hell.

She went to his room like 3 in the morning, and she was like, I don't know why I'm up there. I'm like, that's crazy. Everybody know what that is. So my roommate at the time, I was like,'s that's crazy that's quick everybody know what that is so my roommate at the time I was like yo that ain't nothing but a booty call he was like yo B you what is that you just said I said that's a booty call everybody know what it is I ran to the uptown that night right let me show you how God worked so I shoot over to the city I go to Harlem I'm up

at uptown and that night everybody was. It was a bunch of good comics and I was supposed to go on. They kept putting me last, right? So Charlie Burnett went on that night and Charlie killed, like, I don't know if you ever been

to Uptown back in the day. When you killing, they stomp the ground like this. They used to stomp the ground. So he killing the spot. I'm like, oh my. So Kevin Brown came up to me. He was like, yo, B-Man,

I'm going to ask you a favor. Can you come back next week? And I'm like, oh, come on, man. I've been waiting. I'm like, come on. My car probably gone. I double parked. I'm like, yo, bro, I came all the way from Jersey.

I got a new joint. I got to drop this joint, man. Just let me go on tonight. I ain't going to come back next week. He said, you going to follow Charlie Burnett? I said, yeah, I got it. I got something. So what I did was I started with my closer because I knew my closer was a banger.

What was your closer back then? I don't remember. I just knew it was a banger. So I started. I worked backwards because he killed it. So I was like, oh, shit, I got to start. I got to start with my closer. Keep that energy going. Keep that energy.

So I started with my closer, and I threw the booty call. I did two or three jokes. I had them, and I threw a booty call, and the place exploded. I said, oh! Russell Simmons was in there that night. That's what's crazy. Had I not went on, HBO was in there. That was the night I got Def Jam.

Wow. And so, case in point, I do the joke. Everybody's going crazy. Russell runs around the back. He's like, yo, what's that booty call thing you just did? I want you to do that on my new show. These are my HBO executives, and we're going to do this thing. We're bringing this vibe to television.

That's how I got deafened. Wow. So if I would have just went home, it would have never happened. Wow. Is that not crazy? That's nuts. Thank you for reminding me. Wow.

Well, Bill Bellamy is going to be? That's nuts. Thank you for reminding me. Wow. Well, Bill Bellamy's going to be at Carolina this week. Yo, thank you, man. Tonight, 7.30, 10 p.m. and Saturday, 7.30, 10 p.m. And the book is coming.

And write that book, man. I'm doing the book. Done. Right here on The Breakfast Club. You heard it's going down. Bam. All right. Well, it's The Breakfast Club.

It's Bill Bellamy. Yes, sir. The Breakfast Club. I wish you guys could hear the arguments that we have behind the scenes. White people arguing against black people. I'm not white. We had an argument. He said, I'm not white.

Who just yelled out, I'm not white? Drama's riding hard for Blink-182. Blink-182 is bigger than Lil Wayne. Yeah, right. No, they're not. They probably sold more tickets. I'm like, Lil Wayne sold over 100 million records. Blink-182 sold, what was it, Blink-

50. Whatever, 50 million. Can I get the rumors? Let's do the rumors. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So, let's start it off with Jermaine Dupri. He was talking to People Magazine and had some things to say about female rappers.

I feel like they're all rapping about the same thing, and I don't think they're showing us who's the best rapper. It's like strippers rapping. As far as rap goes, I'm not getting who is the best rapper. I'm getting like, okay, you got a story about you dancing in a club. You got a story about you dancing in a club. All right, who's going to be the rapper? What is the thing that you want to see if you're not like just more i mean i feel like at some point somebody's gonna have to break out of that mode and just show us you know talk about other things well this was heated and as far as responses to jermaine dupree

because that's far from the truth now here's what cardi had to say first of all i wrap up on because she's my best friend. You know what I'm saying? And second of all, it's because it seems like that's what people want to hear. When I did be careful, people were talking mad shit in the beginning. Like, what the fuck is this? This is not what I expected. I expected this.

I expected that. So it's like, if that's what people ain't trying to hear, then all right. Then I'm going to start rapping about my pussy again. And second of all, there's a lot of female rappers that be rapping their ass off and don't be talking about their pussy and y'all don't be supporting them. Okay, I highly disagree with Jermaine Dupri. I think it's a lot of variety in female rapping always has been. Cardi, Meg Thee Stallion, City Girls,

whoever you want to talk about that raps about stripping, they actually do rap about more than that. Kodak Yellow wasn't about stripping. Be Careful's not about stripping. I Like It Like That's not about stripping. The Joint with Bruno's not about stripping. Press not about stripping. They actually do rap about more than that. Kodak Yellow wasn't about stripping. Be Careful's not about stripping. I Like It Like That's not about stripping. The Joint with Bruno's

not about stripping. Press not about stripping. City Girls rap about scamming. Megan Thee Stallion can actually rap rap. So I would have to know who Jermaine Dupri is talking about specifically.

And there's just so many female rappers. I don't even know how you can put it. Even we were just talking about the BET Awards and all the women that were nominated

for Best Female Rapper in that category. Some great standouts. And when you talk about male rappers. What about Lizzo? What about Cash Doll? Cash Doll. When you talk about male rappers, male rappers have all the same stories too. They talk about their ops, their guns, their drugs, their money,

their penises, their jewelry, their cars. And nobody complains. So I don't understand what JD is talking about. And Melly responded as well. Who talks about their penises? Melly said, honestly, I see y'all tag me, but let's talk about how females technically end up rapping about vag because that's what sells.

You only like when we tell y'all about our vag. Not every rapper is a stripper and so the F what. Strippers have bars and goals too. So a lot of people were very upset about this. And as you know,

I mean, of course, there's artists like Rhapsody, there's Snow The Product, there's Young M.A. Now listen, a zillion different artists. You know I love Snowda Product, but I've been telling y'all for a couple years. Jreezy. I've been telling y'all for a couple years since Layla's Wisdom dropped by Rhapsody. Rhapsody

is the dopest rapper not named Kendrick Lamar. I ain't even talking about gender. I'm talking about period. Rhapsody is the dopest rapper not named Kendrick Lamar out here in these streets. And I'm talking about the new class, not the OGs. I'm talking about this new generation. the OGs I'm talking about it this new generation Rhapsody is my favorite rapper only other artists I look for is he only other artists I look forward to hearing to hearing hearing from like Rhapsody is Kendrick Lamar

Big Sean and the late great Nipsey Hussle from this generation All right now let's skip ahead and let's talk about Ed Sheeran So Ed Sheeran's album is out and Charlamagne your interview with Ed Sheeran has dropped in full today as well. Yes, it did. And so we have a little highlight for you of Ed Sheeran talking about working with Eminem. You know, so many people say that I can't rap, but I'm allowed on a song with Eminem,

a 50 cent rapper. So like, I mean, the hook that I wrote is so 50 cent. It's like, It just had to be that. I made that song in Sweden with Max Martin, who's a really big songwriter-producer. And I said to Max, I was like, I'm going to London tomorrow to go and guest with Eminem.

And I walked in Eminem's dressing room, and it's him and 50 Cent in there. And I was like, has to be meant to be. Yes, so there's that song, Remember the Name, featuring Eminem and 50 Cent on that new collaborations album that's out now. Yeah, number six collaborations. Great record with 50 Cent and Eminem,

but I told Ed he dropped the ball because he should have gotten Dr. Dre to do the beat. That would have been dope. That would have made it complete. You know what I'm saying? I'm sure he was in the moment and was like, you know what?

We're going to do this right now. He told me why Dre didn't do the beat, but I forgot. It took too long. I heard people are mad that you got the only Ed Sheeran interview. Why are they mad?

Because he didn't do no other outlets. Yeah, he's not doing no other press. I mean, he don't want to do no other press. And his tour is over in August and then he's going

to go into hibernation. So, hey man, it is what it is. What you want me to do? Black privilege. I'm Angela Yee and that is your... You're mad at me

because I got the only interview with Ed Sheeran? I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor. That's my guy. We flew out to London. I stayed at his house for a few days. You know?

Was in his lake. Wow. Drinking his pub. Is that a cold word? Drinking his pub and in his lake? Drinking his pub. That's my guy. What you want me to do?

You're kinky, bro. We've been knowing Ed for a few years. Let's not act like Ed hasn't been on The Breakfast Club a couple times. Shout out to Ed. Listen to The Breakfast Club. That's my guy. I talk to Ed for no reason. Me and Ed hang out. What you want me to do? All right. We'll go in his lake then. You know? Black to Ed Sherrod. Listen to The Breakfast Club. That's my guy. I talk to Ed for no reason. Me and Ed hang out.

What you want me to do? All right, well, go in his lake then. You know, black privilege. All right. Drink his pub. All right, shout out to Revolt. We'll see you guys later.

Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. We're going to start it off with a new 50 Cent. This is the big, rich town. You know, power's coming back, so they did a new version

of the joint. Really? It's featuring A Boogie with the hoodie and Trey Songz. All right, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the joint. Really? It's featuring A Boogie with a Hoodie and Trey Songz. All right? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

I'm really excited about Netflix's new comedy series, Family Reunion, starring Loretta Devine and Tia Mowry Hardrick. Yi, have you been to a family reunion? Yes, and my family reunions are crazy. You know why? Because I am half Chinese and half black, and there's a lot of culture clashes when we come together. But you know what?

The most fun is the drunk uncle and I think that goes across the board no matter what. I can't wait to be the drunk uncle. You already are. I'm not. I would definitely invite the McKellen family to my family reunion. Make sure you check out Family Reunion on Netflix right now. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, shout out to everybody in Maryland.

I'm going to be in Salisbury Saturday night, so hopefully I get to see you guys. What are you guys doing this weekend? This weekend, I'll actually be hosting a talent show in Staten Island. It's called Staten's Got Talent at the College of Staten Island, so make sure y'all check that out. That's going to be on Saturday. And my boy, Hassan Johnson, you know him as Weeby from The Wire,

amongst many other things. He's going to be a judge, as well as Michael Rainey Jr. from Power and Tracy Brown, author of White Lines. So we're going to be out there at Staten Island, which is great for me because, never forget, I used to work in Staten Island. I don't get out there too often. All right. I might go see Bill Bellamy this weekend,

but I really need to catch up on my movies because we was on vacation for the past 10 days. So I want to see Spider-Man Far From Home because I have not seen that yet. And I'm a Marvel fanatic, and I am disgusted at myself. And you got to catch up on Euphoria. I got to catch up on Euphoria.

It's a great show. You're going to love it. Actually, my goddaughter's in town visiting, and I put it on the last episode for her to watch it, and I was like, whoa, this is kind of racy. I don't know. I got to catch up on the Chi, too, but I'm going to tell you the truth. I'm talking all of this stuff, and I'm just going to end up.

I thought the Chi ended for this season. I haven't seen it. Yeah, this season's over. But I got to catch up on it. But honestly, what I'm going to end up doing is sleeping all weekend, knowing me. That's not a bad thing. Mm-hmm. All right.

When we come back, positive note. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now shout out to Kamala Harris for joining us this morning. Yes.

Kamala Harris making her third appearance on The Breakfast Club. Salute to the young lady on Twitter who said Kamala Harris comes here every other week. She's been here three times in two years. She's coming back, though. Yes, she will be coming back. Just like other candidates will be coming back. I don't understand people's perception. Like, what do y'all see that we don't see when you say things like Kamala Harris comes here every other week?

She's been here three times in two years. Three. Okay? So that's not every other week? Knock it off. All right. Every other year. And also, shout out to Bill Bellamy for joining us.

He's going to be in New York all weekend at Caroline's. I'm going to go see him probably tonight. You can go to carolines.com to see that whole schedule and get tickets. All right. Well, leave us on a positive note, Charlamagne. Listen, man, the positive note is simply this. Oh, you know what else I want to say too, man? I want to say thank you because yesterday, for whatever reason, my book, Shook One, my second book, Shook One, Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me,

it was like number 60-something on Amazon, which is big. You know, whenever a book cracks the top 100, that's really big. And, you know, usually that happens in the beginning. But it's been, you know, some months now and it cracked the top 100 again and it's the number one bestseller.

So I appreciate y'all. Thank you. I like when things have legs. You hear me, Envy? I like when things have legs. You hear me, Envy? I like when things have legs. What are you telling me for? Because you got on shorts. You know what?

All right. Leave us on a positive note. The positive note is simply this. Don't try to numb the pain. That may just delay the healing. Sleuth to my guy, humble the poet. Breakfast club, bitches. Y'all finished or y'all done?
