Yes, it's Wednesday, Hump Day, middle of the week. And it's National Hot Dog Day. Ew, what does that mean? If anybody out there that likes a good hot dog. I do enjoy a good hot dog. If it's all beef, all turkey, all beef with a little bit of chili. Yellow buns. I like my brown buns

roasted, toasted a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Y'all don't like hot dogs? No, I probably haven't had a hot dog in like five years. Wow. That was only turkey franks when I used to eat them. I love them. Turkey franks are beef. I don't eat hot dogs at all anymore. I could serve you up a hot dog, bro. You know what's crazy?

This radio station, Breakfast Club, it really needs to do better. What do you mean? Because there's other morning shows, you know, like Elvis Duran morning show. On a day like National Hot Dog Day, they would have a whole bunch of hot dogs. Nathan's would be over there. That is correct. You know what I mean? It's a raggy-ass morning show.

We could change that. How? Want a hot dog? Man, shut up. You a married man. I'm serious. You got a whole family. They got hot dogs at morning show. We could change that. How? Want a hot dog? Man, shut up. You a married man. I'm serious. You got a whole family. They got hot dogs at the store.

We could order some hot dogs. All right. My son already think me and you are sus anyway. You the one offering me hot dogs. I'm from the store. What are you thinking? Ain't no hot dogs staying up here. You ain't Oscar Mayer.

Downstairs. And you don't know what I have. Okay, bro. You know what? I'm not messing with you this morning. You play too much. Oh, I play too much. Yes, you do. Okay.

Well, Kathy Griffin will be joining us this morning. Speaking of playing too much. Speaking of playing too much. You know, she's back. She came here, was that this year or last year? Last year, right? Last year, I believe, right? That was last year.

Yeah. After her whole debacle where she did a picture that looked like Donald Trump's severed bleeding head and she was holding it up. Yeah, she got in a lot of trouble for that. It was a mask with ketchup on it. I mean, we say that, but we know what it was. It was a depiction of the president's severed head.

If it was Barack Obama, we wouldn't be saying it was just a mask with ketchup on it. She was trying to depict a severed head of the president. Correct, and she got in a lot of trouble for that. Yes, and now she got a movie coming out. Is it a movie, a documentary?

What is it? Yeah, it's a documentary. So part of it is stand-up, but the other part of it is her going on the road in Europe and documenting what that was like

for her behind the scenes and how stressful it was getting stopped everywhere. She was going on the planes, getting detained for 10 hours, things like that. Basically, she showed us what happens when you

threaten the life of a sitting president. But then she does show the stand-up. Yes. Did you guys get your tickets for Lion King yet? No. No.

You better go see the original first. I'm going to go see this first. No, see the original first. I'm getting my tickets right now to go see Lion King. They're saying they're supposed to be sold out everywhere the first week, and so I'm going to try to get some tickets now, order for my daughters.

My daughters are so excited for this movie, like super duper excited. Like they know the date, and they don't know the date to anything. My two-year-old was like, Friday, Lion King. And I'm like, okay. Have they seen the original Lion King yet? Yes, they have.

Okay. And we also went on Broadway, too. Showed on the Broadway. You're not allowed to see the live-action version of Lion King if you have not seen the original animated version. Well, I'm going to go see the live-action. I haven't seen the original. All right.

And that's how it's going to start off. All right, doing yourself a disservice. But let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, Bill Gates was the world's second richest person. Find out who actually just took his spot. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Do this all the time. This ain't no surprise. Every other night another movie get made. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Where are we starting? Well, let's start off talking about Eric Garner and the New York Police Department. The officer who was accused of fatally choking Eric Garner, they have made the decision not to bring federal civil rights charges against the NYPD officer, Daniel Pantaleo. Now, of course, this caused an outrage, and you can hear Eric Garner, you can hear his mom, Gwen Carr, speaking. Five years ago, my son said, I can't breathe 11 times. And today we can't breathe because they have let us down. We have been on the forefront.

We have followed it up. We had to go. We had to fight. This is not an easy fight, but we kept on pushing. And make no mistake about it, we're going to still push. And we're asking the commissioner to make the right decision. Officer Pandaleo and all the officers who was involved in my son's death that day need to be off the force. Now Eric Garner's daughter, Emerald Garner, also spoke at a press conference

after these this recent news. And I'm gonna be standing outside every day until you fire him. Y'all watch him tell my father to five years. I continuously played the video. In the courtroom, playing the video. This caught in the fact that this man choked my father outside on the street. Choked him with no remorse.

Dragged my father's name through the mud. But he was killed on the streets. And this cot is still higher. Why? Because if Eric Garner would have fought back, he would have been in a f***ing jail cell. Yeah, and I don't understand higher. Why? Because if Eric Gonda would have put that, he would have been in a f***ing jail cell. Yeah, and I don't understand that. They said it was an illegal chokehold, correct?

Well, they're saying that the attempted techniques were not chokeholds and that Pantaleo transitioned in and out of a chokehold. I don't know. It's so crazy. I thought they said it was an illegal chokehold and if it's an illegal chokehold, he needs to be fired. Yeah, I just don't understand when they say things like there's not enough evidence when we all watch the video. He said I can't know. It's so crazy. I thought they said it was an illegal chokehold. And if it's an illegal chokehold, he needs to be fired. Yeah, I just don't understand when they say things like there's not enough evidence when we all watch the video. He said, I can't breathe.

Like, we literally all watch the video. I do wonder how the Garner family feels about President Obama, Eric Holden, Loretta Lynch, because they all said they would make sure this case was closed, you know, before they got out of the White House. But they didn't keep that promise. Like, they could have made a decision on this a long time ago, and they chose not to after they told the family they would. So I wonder how they feel about that. How the Garner family feels about that. Alright, and

El Chapo is facing his life sentence today. He'll appear in court in Brooklyn and the judge is expected to sentence him to life behind bars. So just letting you guys know if you're going to be in that area. I'm sure there's going to be a lot of press out there. You don't think you're going to try one last one?

Like, the man escaped twice. He got millions and millions of dollars, I'm sure, tucked away somewhere, probably billions. You don't think he's going to try something one last time? This is his last day in court. You don't think he's going to try something, wiggle something? Well, I think they're going to try to appeal also. And they said at least one victim,

a woman that he allegedly tried to have killed, is expected to address the judge before he hands down his ruling today also. So listen, if you're not busy and you want to go show some support for El Chapo, just pull up in Brooklyn. Who would do that? No, I'll pass. All right, now let's talk about Bill Gates. He is no longer the world's second richest person.

So this is the first time since they've started this whole Bloomberg list and the Bloomberg Billionaires Index that he hasn't had that spot. That index was created seven years ago. So the second richest person is Bernard Arnault. He's a French billionaire. He has a net worth of around $108 billion. What do you do? While Bill Gates is worth about $107 billion.

What does he do? He is the person. Yeah, LVMH. I figured that. What is LVMH? Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy. Okay. So that is a company that owns Louis Vuitton,

Christian Dior, Givenchy, Dom Perignon, Sephora, all of that. So he's the person that actually runs that. So that's the guy we make rich when we drink. Well, I don't drink Hennessy, but when people are drinking all that Hennessy, that's what they're making rich, basically. Or if you buy Louis Vuitton, or if you drink Hennessy, but when people are drinking all that Hennessy, that's what they're making rich, basically. Or if you buy Louis Vuitton.

Or if you shop at Sephora. Gotcha. If you drink champagne, Dom Perignon, Moet, any of that. Well, congratulations to him. All right, Jeff Bezos still holds that top spot, though. Okay. FYI. Even after giving his wife half?

I mean, on this Bloomberg list, they still have him at number one. Wow. $125 billion. All right. Oh, yeah, I think he had to bust that down. Yeah, he did have to bust that down. So they might have did. $125 billion. All right. Oh, yeah, I think he had to bust that down. Yeah, he did have to bust that down. So they might have did this list before that. Mm-hmm.

All right, well, get it off your chest is next. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night or bad morning, or maybe you feel positive and you want to spread some positivity. Whatever it may be, phone lines are wide open. You can vent. 800-585-1051.

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?

Child support God. Child support God? Yeah. Words matter, sir. You might want to change the energy around you. I don't think you want to be known as the child support God. Yeah, I want to be known as the child support God. No baby mama wants to get me, nor my congregation,

shall prosper. All right. Well, what you want to get up your chest, bro? Man, I just want to get up my chest that, you know, feminism is getting way out of hand. Oh, God. And, you know, like, all of these young black men getting put on child support by these women,

it's a plan, man. It's executing it well, because I can't get enough of black women. You know what I'm saying? I just cannot understand why child support is so damn serious and ain't nobody talking about it.

You're talking about people getting killed. You're talking about this. Nobody talks about child support. That's got to be a cash cow because they're making

abortion illegal and all of that, man. So you think that child support goes hand in hand with feminism? Kind of. Kind of. Kind of. Because women, listen, because women, because women, they win in child support cases.

There's no way that we can win in child support cases. It's like, I didn't want the baby. So what? She had the baby. All right, so you have to handle your responsibility as a parent, and you have a problem with that. But what about her responsibility? Like, as far as her being with the child

and raising the child? No, as far as her having sex with an ain't crap dude, that's what. Ye? Well, then maybe you should watch

who you have sex with. He's using reverse psychology on you. You're falling for it, Ye. He's hurting you. Let him go. He's using reverse psychology on you.

I'm not going to lie. I was watching Black Ink Chicago last night and I was so sad Ink Chicago. You have a great one, bro. Last night, and I was so sad when I saw one of the women on the show. She has a daughter, and the father has never come to see the daughter, and he said he was going to come this particular day. The daughter was all excited.

I think she's like two years old. She was so excited to meet her daddy, and then he just didn't show up and sent his sister and said, and she looked, the little girl was so sad. She was depressed. She was laying, putting her head down, looked like she was about to cry. I seen that on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan said that,

you know, you got to really treat the science of breeding like a real science. Like a lot of us treat it like you're in the back of a moving pickup truck rolling dice. No, you really have to know who you laying down with, men and women. Hello, who's this? This Chandler from Columbus, Ohio.

Good morning. How y'all doing? What's up, bro? What's going on? Get it off your chest. Well, first off, Angela, you don't go see Lion King before you go see the original. You can't do that. Why?

Why? You sound like you're about to cry. I agree with him. You just can't. And then, too, what I'm mad about, man, is some man hit my car. Like, Lil' Finn had been in two, about two months ago, took us a month to get his info because he acted like he didn't play English. So I took my car to the collision shop.

It's been in the shop for about six weeks. I hit him up every other day. And it's just an excuse. It's an excuse. Oh, we can't. We still got to do this. Still got to do that. So I want to pull up and go off on them today.

But then again, they could take longer. Yeah, maybe you should have changed the auto body shop. How did you find that auto body shop, bro? They kept blowing me up and just was selling me dreams. Well, that's the problem. Well, you're not in New York area, but if he was in New York, he should have went to No Limit. I'm sorry, brother. Yeah, it's all good, though.

Good luck, though. That's crazy. Appreciate it. Man, he sound like he about to cry. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

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.

Hello, who's this? What's up, Ms. Phil?

Hey, I just want to bring up, you know, I've been listening to all the shows, the podcast, the Joe Rogan. Charlamagne, he loved bringing up OJ, but if he ever do his research and find out OJ did murder these people, I don't know why he keeps throwing that narrative around. Charlamagne, you keep saying OJ is guilty? That's what you keep saying, Charlamagne? It's 2019 and it's people that think OJ is innocent.

Oh, all right. Yeah, do your research. Please get F. Lee Bailey up there before he passes. He just dropped a book, too. So Phil, what's the book about how OJ didn't do it? Yeah, it just breaks down. It's impossible for him to murder two people in 20 minutes. So Phil. What's up?

Charlamagne keeps saying OJ is guilty? Why is this the topic of conversation? Oh, my gosh. No doubt. What do you say, Charlamagne? didn't do it. No doubt. OJ made a tweet and then found out, oh my God, I gave him duck in a day. He didn't do that? It's easy to fool you. What do you say, Charlamagne? I mean, if that's what he feels, if he feels like OJ didn't do it,

I'm not about to go back and forth with this. Well, Phil, you have a good one, all right? I don't. Hello, who's this? Yo, Big Chocolate. Oh my goodness. I'm going to make it quick.

Are you still in school? You'll still be in school? Well, I'm graduating next year. Well, you better hurry up and get that internship in before you graduate because after you graduate, you can't be an intern, which I think is a whack strategy. I think so, too. I think it's whack,

but it's okay. Yeah, because I wasn't... You figured out what? I figured out another way you guys can help me, though, too. Okay, how can we help you? If it involves a GoFundMe, keep it to yourself.

No, no, it doesn't. It doesn't. I'm out here working. So, okay, Charlamagne, don't make fun of me, but I got bars. I really do. I do.

I'm the... And I want you to hear me. I promise you. Okay, go ahead, but don't curse. of me, but I got bars. I really do. I do. I'm the s***, and I want you to hear me. I promise you. Okay, go ahead, but don't curse. Go. Get my farts ready, drum. Okay. You said go?

Better think twice before you run up. Howdy, boys. Let's get you messed up. Hey, I'm a queen. You a dirty little peasant. Touch my king. God damn, this is testing. Better think twice before you run up. I'm sorry. It's got a lot of cuss words in it. Okay. Yeah, it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't quit my day job. You know what I'm a queen. You a little peasant. Touch my king. God damn. I'm sorry. It's not. It's got a lot of cuss words in it. Okay.

Yeah, it wasn't bad, but I wouldn't quit my day job. You know what I'm saying? I wouldn't like, I wouldn't like put that as a thing. Like I'm going to be a rapper one day. I'm going to call you tomorrow too. I'm going to call you every day because I remember the number. I'm passionate. I'm going to call you every day. We say the number all the time.

800-585-4051. You didn't get the farts, but you weren't like, you weren't bad. But I mean, like, you know, I wouldn't pursue this as a career. Have a good one, though. Hello, who's this? Yo, good morning. It's Jermaine out of Atlanta. How y'all doing this morning?

Jermaine, what's up, man? Get it off your chest. It was a question online that was posed yesterday, and I wanted to run it by you guys and see what y'all thought. In reference to businesses, speaking about support and the word support and that being like a charitable, having a charitable kind of connotation to it when reality is you're providing a good and service for a need that somebody has. So, like, why does the connotation support have to be attached to specifically black owned businesses? Like the phrase support black owned business. And you don't really hear it like that in other communities.

But that was a question that was just posed online, and I was just wondering what you guys' thoughts on that. Like the word support being like the connotation of it being like it's a charity. I don't look at the word support as charity. I look at it as somebody's providing a service, so make sure you go. And if you can spend your money there instead of somewhere else, go and support that business. So you don't like the term Black-owned business? Well, I mean, it make sure you go. And if you can spend your money there instead of somewhere else, go and support that business. So you don't like the term black-owned business?

Well, I mean, it's not me personally. It was just a conversation. I want people to come support my business. I'm wondering what y'all thought. Like, for example, Envy, like, you sell houses or whatever. Like, you got a house for sale. I'm buying a house. I'm not supporting you, per se.

I'm trying to get a house. So, like, you just happen to have the house I want. I don't sell get a house. You just happen to have the house I want. I don't sell houses though, but I get what you're saying, but I don't see what's wrong with supporting black people's businesses. We have a juice bar in Brooklyn. I love when people come out and support the juice bar. That's the same conversation I was having with Dapper Dan the other day.

If I see somebody that's black and they have the same type quality product and it's something that I'm interested in. I'm going to support them because they're black and because the product is good. I got you. Okay, I'll just pose that question.

I don't really feel one way or the other about it, but this is Bombay, Baca. Support that, guys, please. It's the truth. Thank you, man. There's somebody somewhere right now in the line at Chick-fil-A about to order them a number one with egg and cheese and some hash browns, and they're supporting Chick-fil-A. Right.

It is what it is. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Yee, we got rumors on the way? Well, let's talk about support, and we'll talk about the Emmy nominations. We'll tell you about Beyonce and Ava DuVernay and their own personal support that they got that led them down this road. All right, we'll get into that next.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

What's happening? Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Beyonce. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Well, get ready because Beyonce's Lion King soundtrack comes out. I know you guys are excited for that on Friday. I like it because it looks like it's going to be very Afro-beach-fueled. Yes, so you can see some of the guests on there. Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Tierra Whack, of course. Jay-Z's on the album also. I know you guys are excited to hear it. A lot of African artists, too.

I'm excited about it. Burner Boy's on there. So you guys should check that out. Here's what Beyonce had to say about the gift. The soundtrack is a love letter to Africa and I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa, not just you know use some of the sounds and did my interpretation of it. I wanted it to be authentic. A lot of the drums, the chants, all of these incredible new sounds mixed with some of the producers from America, we've kind of created our own genre.

And I feel like the soundtrack, it becomes visual in your mind because each song tells the story of the film. I hope that the whole live action-ness of the movie The Lion King doesn't take away from the story because The Lion King has an incredible story. It does. It's actually the story of the black man living in western civilization. But I hope that doesn't take away from I don't think it will. I hope the live action doesn't take away from it.

Well, if you never saw the original, it wouldn't really matter. So that's going to be even better. Well, that's only you. There's other people that actually hit me up on Twitter and said they too have not seen the original. Well, they too have not lived. And we stand together. Mm-mm-mm. Alright, now let's talk about Beyonce some more. She has set her personal Emmy nominations best.

She has six nominations for Homecoming. So congratulations to Beyonce. She's in the following categories. Outstanding Variety Special Pre-Recorded, Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special, Outstanding Production Design for a Variety Special, Outstanding Costumes, Outstanding Directing, Outstanding Music Direction.

Does she have an Emmy already or no? I doubt it. What would she have an Emmy for? Did she put out something a couple of hours before? Lemonade, maybe? Lemonade, that? I mean, I don't know, but I don't think she has an Emmy. Yeah, she's been nominated before, but I don't know if she won.

Okay. So we'll have to check that out. But that's the most nominations that she's ever gotten. And I think she got a nomination for the Super Bowl halftime show back in 2013. Okay. All right. Now, Ava DuVernay, since we're talking about the Emmy nominations, she got the most nominations for Netflix.

She said, thank you, Netflix, for believing in this story and letting me tell it the exact way I wanted. So When They See Us actually got 16 nominations. They made these nomination announcements yesterday. And that for Netflix came in second as far as total nominations. They had 117, while HBO had 137. And Ava's going to win a lot of those, too. The 16 nominations, she's going to win a high percentage of those 16.

That's a fact. Well-deserved. Yeah, so congratulations to Ava DuVernay. Well-deserved. All right, now let's talk about prize from the Fugees. I don't know if you guys have been following this. Prize? Yes, prize from the Fugees.

So, he's been in court. He's asking a judge to lower his monthly child support payments. Right now it's at $4,800. And according to his lawyer, he's doing everything that he can to reinvent himself so that he's able to pay money for this child. And also to just do whatever he has to do to reinvent himself because of all the legal trouble that he's had recently.

Now, did you know he has a $100 million fortune? No. I mean, that's not surprising. The Fugees was a very successful group. And $75 million of that has been seized, though, by the feds. Why? And $25 million his imprisoned manager has disappeared with and all of his financial statements.

Well, there's some type of embezzlement thing that he's been involved with. So I don't think that money came from the Fugees, but there was a Malaysian fugitive playboy who actually was trying to get money into the United States. And he was helping to allegedly launder that money and things like that. So now he has all these legal issues. Now, what they're saying is they don't know what his income is. They said, we have no idea what the sources of his money are because he has not provided any of that.

They said, how is he traveling? How did he fly to town for this appearance? How did he fly to Washington, D.C. three times in the last two months? He's a ghetto superstar. Stop worrying about how ghetto superstars get their money. He's releasing a new album, and so they're saying that it's impossible to say that he has no money and no access to money.

So he has all kinds of criminal charges against him right now. He's a ghetto superstar. Stop worrying about how ghetto superstars get their money. Alright? Did you know all of this? No. I did. You did?

Mm-hmm. Okay. I had no clue. As soon as you said, have you been following Prada's, no was my answer. No, no. I heard the embezzlement thing and that they seized his account and he was trying to look for funds and all that, but I did hear that. All right.

There's other news. Big baller brand. Okay. They're selling t-shirts now for $5. Those same t-shirts used to go for $50. And apparently, I guess a lot of the gear right now when they first launched was so expensive. The sneakers were like $495. What are they now?

But now you can get a bundle deal, which includes a shirt, hoodie, sneakers, and a pair of socks for $100. Oh, I'm ordering them all. What's the problem? They're making the price points more affordable. Isn't that what we want? Yes. I think right now they have to try to rebrand and relaunch. Well, listen, when Lonzo Ball goes to New Orleans this year

with Zion Williams and he balls out, y'all going to jump back on the BBB penis? Well, right now they've pulled the website down and it looks like his sons also aren't supporting the brand for now. But maybe they have to rebrand and relaunch. And if you guys remember, there was an issue, too, with one of the guys that ran Big Baller Brand that was a family friend. One of the partners or something, right? Yes. So who knows what's going on behind the scenes there.

We're going to tell Lonzo Ball balls out in New Orleans. You'll see how the tide shifts. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. Okay. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, front page news. What are we talking about, Yeezy? We are going to be talking about Donald Trump. Now, he has said that many people agree with his racist tweets, and we'll tell you what else he has to say right now. All right, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked.

This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Raycon's wireless earbuds are stylish and discreet, and they sound great, too. Plus, they started at about half the price of any other premium wireless earbuds on the market. Right now, you can get 15% off your order at buyraycon.com slash ye.

That's buyraycon.com slash ye. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Now, we've been talking about Sadie Roberts-Joseph. She was the 75-year-old founder of an African-American history museum in Baton Rouge

who was found dead in the trunk of her car from asphyxiation. Well, it looks like they have found who the person is. They've arrested someone for her murder. That person is Ron Jermaine Bell. He lived in one of her rental homes. Apparently, he owed her $1,200 in unpaid rent. We don't know if that's why he did it. They're still investigating.

But he did, back in 2007, plead guilty to sexual battery of an 8-year-old girl. And authorities are still investigating what the motive is in this murder, but they said it's not being considered a hate crime, and it's not tied to her community activism as of now. He needed his ass beat.

Yeah, he didn't pay his rent, and I guess he was like, I'm just going to live here regardless and kill her? I'm not going to jump to that conclusion. They're saying they don't know if the $1,200 in unpaid rent is tied to this. They're still investigating, but they're saying they don't feel if the $1,200 in unpaid rent is tied to this. They're still investigating, but they're saying they don't feel that it is a hate crime because a lot of people were feeling like it was because of her activism.

It was because of her founding this museum. I will say when you're an older woman like that and you are a landlord, that's when I wish you had like a grandson or a nephew or a son to go collect the rent money because you do have people that like to get sporty like that just because she's an older woman.

All right. Now let's talk about Donald Trump and his racist tweets, which, by the way, have a lot of white supremacists tweeting in support of him and very excited. They've been tweeting things like, this might be the funniest thing he's ever tweeted. This is the kind of white nationalism we elected him for. And that's exactly why I told youall to stop wasting time talking about Donald Trump being a racist. Nobody cares. The people who voted for him in 2016 don't care and they're going to vote for him in 2020 because they don't care. Another commenter

said it is okay for him not to want to be swamped by brown scum that clearly despise him. These invaders have stepped well out of line making demands of us and if they don't like the way we run things, they can go the hell back. These are the ideological seeds from which actual revolutions begin. When someone with perceived authority like Trump comes along and says them,

it carries weight with many people. Meanwhile, all of these media outlets that keep constantly reporting that Donald Trump is a racist, y'all are preaching to the choir. You're talking to an echo chamber. We know that. But the people who voted for Trump and that's going to vote for him in 2020, they don't care. Now, the House has voted to condemn Donald Trump's racist tweets.

What is that? They voted last night. So I don't know what that's even going to mean, but I guess it's supposed to send a message to kids. That they're not agreeing with him. Oh, God. You know how cowardly that is? It's so cowardly that the House had to vote to condemn Donald Trump's remarks. That's like voting to agree that fire is hot.

Like, stop being cowards and start the impeachment proceedings. That's the only thing you weak-ass liberals should be voting for, okay? Your president is a traitor and a criminal, and you need to set a precedent that that behavior isn't acceptable from the president, period. You want to show kids a real lesson? That's how you show them a real lesson, by impeaching the president and setting a precedent

that this type of behavior is not acceptable. Some damn voting to condemn his remarks. There's a lot more things that can be done right now. You're voting to condemn his remarks. Hey, guys, let's vote so we can all agree that water is wet. I'm not voting for that. Hey, let's all vote so we can all agree that birds can actually fly. I'm not voting.

I'm not voting for that either. All right, El Chapo, he's being sentenced today in Brooklyn, and a judge is expected to sentence him to life behind bars. So we'll see what happens there, but they said at least one victim is going to come forward and address the judge before that ruling is handed down. That woman is a woman who El Chapo allegedly tried to have killed. Yeah, I would stay away from that area in Brooklyn today.

I mean, he already escaped twice. I think we should all vote. He's going to try. I don't see him. Why wouldn't he try something crazy? This is probably his last leg, his last stand, right? You don't think he wouldn't try nothing today? Of all days?

I think we should all vote to see if we can condemn El Chapo, baby. Shut up, man. Shut up, man. I don't know. I think we'd have to vote on this. Now, we discussed this earlier in Front Page News, but Bill Gates, he's no longer the world's second richest person. That person is now Bernard Arnault.

He is the person that is the CEO of LVMH. That's Louis Vuitton, Moet, Hennessy. They actually own, obviously, Louis Vuitton. Obviously, they own Moet. Obviously, they own Hennessy, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Dom Perignon, Sephora, a whole bunch of different brands. So he's now in second place. And Jeff Bezos is still number one.

Even after he gave money in his settlement, his divorce settlement, to his ex-wife, he still is in that number one spot. He's worth $125 billion. Now, are you sure about this? Yes, I looked it up. Did we vote on this to make sure that that guy is actually number two and Jeff Bezos is number one? Yes. Okay.

So that is your front page news. You know what I always want to say? When people get mad at a brand, right? And one person owns all these brands. Aren't they supposed to get mad at everyone that the brand owns? Like even with Gucci, people are mad at Gucci. But the same people, they still wear YSL. They still wear Balenciaga.

They still wear Alexander McQueen. They still wear Gucci. They still wear Gucci. It's like how can you just be mad at one? I think if you get mad at a brand and you demand that they take action and they do take action, then you have to follow that through and see. So if you get mad at Louis, you cannot use Sephora ever again, right? I didn't say that.

Guess who don't know what the hell you were talking about just now. You know Sephora. I know Sephora, but I don't know none of the other stuff you just named. You know Louis Vuitton is. But you know what? I think the issue is that a lot of these brands also operate separately. They have separate CEOs. No, but each company has their own CEO of Louis Vuitton. Like they're separate companies.

What is this rich talk y'all having this morning? I wear none of this stuff. Okay. You tried it one time, didn't you? No. Definitely see you wear some Saint Laurent pants. I wore YSL pants once and took them right back because I felt so stupid having on a pair of $1,600 jeans. It's such a waste of money.

It's dumb as hell. It's the dumbest thing you could spend your money on, period. Then why'd you buy them? I have no idea. That is a great question. That is a really good question. It felt good, though, when you had on the zippers on. No, they didn't.

They felt tight. They had zippers on. They felt tight and uncomfortable. They had zippers on. Nope. It looked like Mike Jackson with the zippers on. They felt tight and uncomfortable and stupid. They felt tight and uncomfortable and stupid. And he brought them back.

I'd much rather have that $1,600 in my pocket, but that's just me. All right. Doing nothing. Now, when we come back, Kathy Griffin will be joining us. Comedian Kathy Griffin. We'll kick it with her. She has a new project that's coming out. So don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. She's back. Miss Kathy Griffin.

Welcome back. Hey, Kathy. What's happening? Very excited. She got a new movie out, Hell of a Story. Hell of a Story. A feature film. A feature film.

A docu-comedy. Yes. That's right. I felt so bad for you watching it. Did you watch it? I almost teared a little bit. Oh, my God. Thank you.

They were really effing you up. Honey, it's raw. It is like ugly, no makeup Kathy crying. So the first third is straight up documentary, like iPhone. And then the second two thirds are comedy concert. But it is, you know, there's a little meat on the bone. It's funny. Hopefully you'll laugh more than anything, but it tells the whole Trump story.

And the doc part gets me in real time. Do you think this is it? Like, is this it when it comes to the Trump story, the whole seven head discussion? Do you think you got it all out? I think I got it all out, but I realize this photo will be with me the rest of my career. Well, let's just tell people what, because a lot of people might not know what you did.

What? Everybody knows. She did that for a whole hour last time she was here. Envy, you're crazy. You sound crazy. We have a zillion new listeners. You sound crazy. We have a zillion new listeners. There was a picture. Envy, she just told this story last year on The Breakfast Club. I know, but we have way more stations from there.

Just in case. My God. Now I'm going to be at the Academy Awards probably. I'm going to get a lifetime achievement at least. Well, I do want to say in telling what happened, it is a great story of resilience. Thank you. And your documentary because what it does show is that you were blacklisted. You had to

go overseas to do your comedy and promote yourself. It's for taking a picture. I took a very innocent, covered by the First Amendment photo of myself holding a mask of Donald Trump. Hold on. Trump. Sorry. It's hard

for me to vomit when I say that. With ketchup all over it. And then the Trump folks put it in what I call the Trump wood chipper. Now, I will say when I was making the documentary part, even I didn't know that the photo went global that day. So we get to show how it was in newspapers. It was this thing called the internet, Kathy. That's right.

It was in newspapers in every language. In Chinese, Arabic, French, everywhere. So then they tried to associate me with ISIS, that I had joined ISIS. And I'm sorry to say there are people that believe that to this day, which is very bizarre. Did your mother really think you were in the club? My mother watches something called Fox News. It's a little embarrassing. And, yes, she totally took Sean Hannity's side.

And she thought you was in Club Al-Qaeda? She thought I was in Al-Qaeda. She kept saying that. Why'd you join Al-Qaeda? But I'm actually glad I got that, to put that scene in because my beloved mother, 99 years old, God love her,

has unfortunately fallen into dementia. So I'm actually really glad we got that scene. Question, do you really care about being in Hollywood? Like you make so much money on the road, I would think. Why do you care about like Hollywoodllywood people calling you back and because when you because when you're blacklisted you can't tour you know you're unemployable you're uninsurable and because of the president and the department of justice so never happened so that's why i really felt i mean look i funded this movie myself i don't know if it's going to get

distribution or if it's going to be seen by tens of people or what. But I think it's an important message to get out there. I agree. So part of what I was saying about the story of resilience is showing you going through so much, being detained at every airport. Oh, so scary. Which could potentially have you miss a show or be late. I didn't miss any shows, but it scared the heck out of me because they take your phone and they take your SIM card and they take your passport. And it was really important that I got to explain the documentary because a lot of people think they can't do that they did it at LAX they did it at JFK they did it you know at every airport overseas they still do that now

oh yes so if you guys think that they can't you know do something like that or take your phone or your devices they can't so it actually just happened to a friend of mine in Toronto so it's like game on right so all the times you thought like, oh, no, if I, you know, if I call this attorney or if I explain myself, that's all over in the era of Trump. So I still don't know what's on my passport to this day. I was on the no-fly list. Terrorist, I'm sure. Right? Just a garden variety terrorist.

Another Irish-American white lady with red hair terrorist. And so that was just weird because they look at you like, you know, you're going to blow up a building. And I was like, no, I'm just going to do a great job at the show. And they don't like jokes, by the way. Let me just say, that's what I learned. When you're detained, do not try to be funny. Do not try. No jokes.

What's your best bit you did while you were detained? First of all, one time I was detained in, I think it was like Stockholm. And the only time out of every time I was detained, and I was detained in every single country, and there was another guy in there. And he was so much smarter than I because I just turned to him and I couldn't resist. I go, what are you in for? And he looked at me like, I am not talking to you. I've seen the picture.

I know you're capable. I am not. And I swear to God, I was like, sir. Like, he just wouldn't even look at me. That's funny. Good for him. Good for him. He was smart to God, I was like, sir. He just wouldn't even look at me. Good for him. He was smart. He got out faster than you did. You would think y'all would have passed the time.

He left way earlier than I did. He was in a taxi going wherever he was going. And I'm like, what did I do? I thought it was a good closer. You know what's interesting though? Trump has gotten progressively worse. So whatever you thought about him two years ago, it's confirmed now. You would think people would see that picture and be like, you know, I want to cut his head

off too. Well, there's a great line where Jim Carrey says, you know, it's not like half of the country hasn't imagined it. And I was like, oh, thank you for saying that. I mean, I'm not promoting violence, obviously, but I am promoting mask buying. Now you wear the blue dress throughout the whole tour. That's symbolic for you.

Yes, I'm very excited. The Smithsonian has asked for it. I'm very flattered. That's right. So things are sort of getting a little bit better. And I think you're right. It's because the atrocities that we see Trump committing, like he's not playing. And all these, quote, norms we thought were laws, we need to make them laws. You know, I mean, he's just ignoring everything. And let's face it, it's all about race. It's all about misogyny and it's all about the browning of America and he can't handle it. And these Trumpers are invasion of the body snatchers. They're like pod people. You know, I mean, I, I'm going to be honest. I can't talk to them. Have you guys heard the latest QAnon theory? You know about these people? No. Oh, okay. Well, they flood my timeline and number one,

they think I'm a pedophile and that I do child trafficking with Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Okay. You know. Sounds very reasonable. Very reasonable. And they also think that JFK Jr. is going to come back from the dead and be the new vice president instead of Mike Pence. So they now go to these rallies with a MAGA hat and then a cutout of JFK Jr., a rather well-known Democrat, by the way, but they think that he's secretly a Republican.

Really? So this is what I'm dealing with. Oh, my gosh. Like, this is like... I've never even heard of that. Oh, yes. Thank God. I know all this world now.

I had to learn all the Nazis on YouTube and all the, you know, Twitter people. Kathy, why are you giving that any energy? Like, why are you giving that any energy? Why? Because the FBI came to my house the day I filmed the special and they did a no-knock and they came over, which means bad. Usually they call if they think it's kind of a threat.

They call my attorney if they think it's kind of a bad threat. When they just come over without saying we're coming over, the day I filmed the comedy part of the film, they came over and they said that, remember the MAGA bomber, the pipe bomber guy, Cesar Sayek? So they had captured him,

and they had told me prior that I was already on his kill list. But they came over in person to say, we are here to inform you, Ms. Griffin, that he shared his kill list with like-minded people. And I said, hi, fellas. Oh, by the way, the FBI also never gets my jokes, because they've been to my house so much. The FBI has been great. I'm not anti-government. And the FBI comes hi, fellas. Oh, by the way, the FBI also never gets my jokes because they've been to my house so much. The FBI has been great. I'm not anti-government.

And the FBI comes in and I go like this, Norm! From Cheers. And they never laugh. They come over all the time. Yes! They're in my house more than my family. And so I'm like, come on in, Joey. Hey, left eye. And so I said,

well, what should I do? And they said, well, it's an open investigation. I go, look, you guys are here. And they read me this letter called A Duty to Warn. And I remember the female agent was shaking the paper shaky. And I'm thinking, okay. And I go, you know, I have a performance tonight. Am I going to get shot on stage? Which is the way the Trumpers want to kill me the most.

They want to shoot me on stage, cut my head off, and then put my head up my you know what, and then shoot me again. They're very direct. And they said, can you open your mailbox 10 feet away? I said, I'm 5'3". How long do you think my arms are? Isn't that Miss Incredible? Right? So I want to get one of those grabbers from As Seen on TV,

like the old lady has with the grabber, and then MacGyver, like a second one. So I don't know what to do. Every time I open my mailbox, I just go kaboom and hope for the best. All right, we got more with Kathy Griffin. 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 Kathy Griffin. Charlamagne? How did you heal from the trauma of all this, though? Did you go to like therapy or something? Oh, yeah, therapy. I mean, at one point, I was going three times a week.

I was like, what are you doing tomorrow doctor i'll be here how do you know your therapist not a trumper oh i asked him okay oh i it's like i open with that i'm like hi who'd you vote for i mean i just can't even play anymore and if you didn't vote then we also have a problem so you got a lot of therapy a lot of therapy and also i mean like and this is corny but like really thank god for comedy thank god for comedy. Thank God for comedy. Because no matter what, I just lived for those shows. And overseas, they just ate it up because the audiences there were like, what is going on in your country? And so it was great doing the shows and that kept me going. But it was a grind.

And like I said, the airport stuff was scary. And there were a lot of incidents in the States, too. Like a guy pulled a knife on me in Houston. And I was playing like really beautiful halls. Like I played Carnegie here and Radio City in Houston. I think I played either Symphony Hall or the Opera House and it's on YouTube. You can see it. There's some guy and he's wearing a Trump shirt. He's waving a knife all over the place. How'd he get the knife in? He was outside. He was waiting outside. Your assistant also quit during the tour. Yes. What happened?

It was a rough tour, so maybe it was too much for him, but the timing wasn't great. It was like 2 in the morning in Vienna. And so then my boyfriend and tour manager, don't judge, we were on our own, and then there were various means of security, which I don't discuss in detail because that's the first rule of security. But there was a lot. And so you just have to try to think of everything. It's like you never know where it's coming. I was actually giving a speech at Oxford about the First Amendment.

I didn't go to college. Hey. Can you imagine? And so the driver dude that was taking me from the airport to the hotel, he said, oh, I recognize you from the picture. And I said, well, first of all, let me just apologize for Trump. I'm really sorry. We're working on it. It's a whole thing with gerrymandering and the electoral call. I'm like trying to explain the whole thing. And he goes, well, I'm from Morocco. And I said, oh God, I said, well, sorry about Trump saying, you know, Africa is, you know, what whole countries. And he goes,

he didn't say that. He's the best president the world has ever seen. And I go, uh, sir, I don't know where you get your news, but honestly, he said that about Africa. And I go, and he thinks it's a country, not a continent. And then the guy says to me, and I was then with my assistant and it was pouring down rain. So I'm sorry I couldn't run out and walk to the hotel. And he goes, if we were in Morocco, I would cut your tongue out right now.

He said that to you? Oh yeah. So you know me. Was he an Uber driver? Honey, no, he was with Music Express. Okay. And I called the vice president, and I got him fired, but I also filmed it. Wow.

I have learned to whip out that phone camera when necessary. Now, with the agents, with any of these agents, do they ever say, look, we have to do this job, but we don't f*** with Trump either? Any of the agents ever say that? Oh, they're all scared of him. Yeah, I think they're all scared of him. And by the way, scared of what? Like, he's so feckless, as they would say. Like, he's just a buffoon. Like, I think they're all scared of him. And by the way, scared of what? Like, he's so feckless as they would say. Like, he's just

a buffoon. Like, I think he's got dementia. Where's the mom at this point? Classic example of a bully. And then the grown... I love how they say the grown kids. Don Jr. is 45. Is that a kid? He's got five kids himself. And now he's banging the chick from Fox. Remember? Yes! So, you know,

all of them. And then, and I lovingly call Eric Trump date rape because I just don't think any sex with him is consensual. Now, that's just my opinion. That is just my opinion as an artist, as a respected film star. A respected film star. It's an observation.

It's an observation. A harmless observation. So, as you can see, I haven't learned my lesson. Let's talk about the freedom of speech because you talk about that in the movie a lot, the First Amendment. Is there really such thing as free speech? Because it seems to me in America, free speech comes with a cost.

Oh, absolutely. And people don't really know the parameters of it. So, you know, obviously when I was under the investigation, I kept asking my attorneys, did I break the law? No. Did I violate the First Amendment? No. I knew I hadn't because that amendment is my commodity. You know, when you're in comedy, you know, as I say, I don't know the other ones, but I know that first one, wall to wall.

So that's why I have no columns going after him or his so-called children. You know, the thing about free speech, right? Like, you can say whatever it is you want to say, but then people have the right

to react to however they want to react. But you can't say fire in a theater. So that's the thing that I spend a lot of time kind of explaining to people. Like, I do understand the parameters.

And so to say things that are outrageous or vulgar, that really is okay. But, you know, I also didn't do what they call a call to action. So for example, after the screening on the 31st, I'm going to do a Q and A with a really, really great first amendment attorney named Ted Boutros. And he's one of the people that I went to. And I wanted to confirm that the situation was historic because I think last time I was here, we talked about how, like when it happened

to Lenny Bruce, it was local PD. And when it happened to Jane Fond, it was local PD. But this is the first time the feds have ever gone after a private citizen in this way, much less a female comedian who's 58. And he said, no, I looked it up. You're the first. So I said to him, did I even come close to violating the First Amendment? He said, no. And I said, what would have been violated in the First Amendment? He said, if you had done a specific call to action and said something to the effect of, you know, these named people come to the White House with these firearms at this time,

and I know how to get in the White House. Like, he went really, really far. So the good news about the First Amendment is it is really, really broad, but we do have to fight for it. Have you tried the pseudo since they put you on this list and it's so difficult to fly? Can you say, you know what? Please give me a pro bono attorney because I'm already about 500 grand into attorney fees, but I would love to sue for abuse of power because that's what it is.

Now, has the media coming around for you as far as you going out to do press? What's the schedule? Oh, honey, I'm banned. I am so banned. This is the last show I'm allowed on and I could be banned after this. I understand it could be banned. It's not personal. You're okay with us. Okay, good.

All right, good. I'm going to go on Jimmy Kimmel. Really? Go ahead, Kimmel. Thank Kimmel. Thank Jimmy Kimmel. Good for you for having some s***, Kimmel. F Fires hasn't banned me.

And then none of the morning shows, Today Show, Good Morning America, all said no. The Talk, The View, no. By the way, I'm re-banned from The View. I have been banned and re-banned for like 30 years on The View. Oh, it's always something. Like in the old days, I'd say something to piss off Barbara. And now I'm probably

just too obnoxious. I may have said the F word last time I was on there. Because when I think of Trump, I think of the F word. Yeah, that'll do it. It's like it's his first name. Yeah, yeah. I was wondering, how are you and Kris Jenner it. It's like it's his first name. Yeah, yeah. You know. I was wondering, how are you and Kris Jenner friends? It seemed like y'all wouldn't get along at all. I have to because she's, you know, killed people.

I mean, I can't prove it, but I'm pretty sure one time I was driving to Vegas and I saw her with a shovel and a Rolls Royce and I haven't seen Lamar Odom since. Wow. Now, that's all I'm saying. You know, I mean, I can't prove she's killed. No. I get along with her because, you know, for 10 years, I just called them dirty whores. And then they were mad at me.

And finally, they just came around and they were like, oh, my God. You're like, dang. I go, yeah. I went there for Christmas Eve. Really? Can you believe it? I walk in, the first one I see is Pops. Right, Kanye?

And so I call him Pops because, you know, he thinks he's Pablo Picasso. Just play along. So he has Pablo on his sleeves. And you know, they used to be my next door neighbors, which was during the whole Trump thing, my next door neighbors being Kim and Kanye was delicious. You can't write it. And so, yeah, I went there for Christmas Eve and it was fantastic.

And it was like a super crazy mix of people, which I'm all about. And it was, I mean, that proves anything. Did they make you feel welcomed? Yes. And you said Kris Jenner gave you great advice. She gave me the best advice. She goes, apologize and get over it. And then she, you know, she was like hanging there and she actually came over for dinner the night of the photo.

And that was honestly just a coincidence. Were the cameras there? No. Okay. But I, exactly. Oh God, more crying. No, she was actually counting her money. I was like, Chris, pay attention.

And then printing some as well. She's got a printing machine. But no, they actually, you know, they are the least of my worries. Like once you've had the entire White House and Department of Justice come after you, the Kardashians are the least of my worries. I even went up to the makeup one, Francine.

What's her name? What's her name? Kylie? Yeah, yeah, Kylie. I can't keep track of all of them. What? I name? What's her name? Kylie. Yeah, yeah, Kylie. I can't keep track of all of them. I'm busy with the main three. I can't deal with Francine and Candle.

Anyway, so I even made up with those two. And Francine's a billionaire with a B. Did you know that? Kylie. Kylie, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I can't remember their names. I'm focused on Khloe and Kourtney, although I don't know what Kourtney does.

My goodness. Stick to the main three. You know me. I'm not afraid of anything., although I don't know what Courtney does. That's my problem. We'll be out on the 31st of this month. Make sure you go check it out. Where can they see it? Well, you can see it at 700 Theaters. Go to fathomevents.com Put my name in the search engine, then your zip code, or text me.

All right. You should have just played the clip. All right, I'll play it right now. Off your phone? I want to try something new. Let's get it out. What? I want to try something new.

What do you want to try? Something new in the bed. Ooh, what you want to do? I want in the bed. What you going to do? I want to lick your butt. Talk about this one. I don't know. I just thought that was funny. I don't know.

Maybe you have to see it. I know why he thinks it's funny. Why do you think it's funny? Because you funny. You know what? Can we get into the room and report? Let's talk a little way into the rumors, man. What?

It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. What did you just say? I said, let's get into Lil Wayne in the rumors. I think he just had a stroke. He just had a stroke while he was in the rumor report. You said, let's talk Lil Wayne into the rumors.

Guys, can y'all stay focused, please? All right. I'm sorry. I need you to stay focused. I'm focused. You go ahead. All right. Lil Wayne sat down with XXL. Now, you know he has his American Eagle Young Money Collection that's going to be coming

out August 10th. He does? Yes, he does. Okay. So, they're going to have some new clothing for y'all. And in addition to that, he has his funeral album that's going to be coming out soon. One artist he said he worked with is Lil Baby.

He said, I'm a big Lil Baby fan. So it was a swap type of thing. You send me a song, I send you one. And he said they actually did work in the studio together because he demanded that. And he said, back in the days when I was doing it, there was no such thing as you send me your song. You had to be in the studio with that person.

He demanded that, so I respected that. And he said they were also in there with Big Sean. What was the such thing as you send me your song. You had to be in the studio with that person. He demanded that, so I respected that. And he said they were also in there with Big Sean. What was the song they were doing? That's dope. No, it's not out yet. It's on the funeral, for the funeral album. So hopefully we'll hear that song. And they asked him from XXL,

will all three of you guys be on the same song, him, Lil Baby, and Big Sean? And he said, I don't know. Okay. But the song is called I Do It, FYI. Now, he also said that he did do a remix of Lil Nas X's Old Town Road. Oh, God, no. And a snippet of that had leaked on the internet.

I would play it for you all, but there's all kinds of drops all over it, so it doesn't really sound that good. But he said he doesn't know if they're going to use it. How does it sound? That's not what we needed right now. Nobody needed that. We didn't need an Old Town Road. I don't know how it sounded. It sounded amazing. Bro, let's be real that We didn't need an Old Town Road We don't know how it sounded

It could sound amazing Bro Let's be real I'm tired of hearing Old Town Road Okay So I just feel like It's a little too late for remixes Because I'm tired of hearing the song

You know what I'm saying It's been 16 How long has it been number one? Oh wow 16 weeks It's too No I'm tired I'm over it

And it's still gonna be number one This week too right? Yeah why not I definitely didn't listen to that. I didn't hear that either. See, y'all turned an old town road into a rhythm. That's what they call it? Yeah, a rhythm.

A rhythm. Jump on that rhythm. Jump on that old town road rhythm and ride it. All right. You can't no more. Dwight Howard, he has a dress. Hey! Woo!

Why are you so excited? It all started with a little snippet from a road star. Go, E, go. I love those kind of segues, baby. This is great. I'm going to close the bar for great radio segues. Without even trying. Now, Dwight Howard has addressed rumors of his sexuality.

He sat down with Fair Game with Kristen Leahy, and he said that he's not gay. I went through a situation last year that really just set me free. It ended up being a situation that went viral, and it upset me because I didn't even know who the person was. The pure hate from people that I've never met before just piled up. And I think that liberated me because I saw how a lot of people would feel whether they're gay, whether they're straight, whether they have issues. People are afraid to be who they are. And so that situation made me realize, you're not like this, but just be you, be free. Meaning you're not gay.

Yeah, I'm not gay. So just it's a lot of people who are and they have to hide. Yeah, he learned a lot from that to see all the hatred that people have when they thought that about him. So he's not gay? He's not gay. Is he bisexual? That is true. That should have been the follow-up question. Well, he also talked about being at home

alone for months. And it hurt at first to go through it. I sat at home and I was like, man, I'll never want to come outside again. But I'm like, why? How long did that take for you? Like, were you just sitting at home alone? A couple months to really just think and understand myself and just be, figure out who I am, what I want to be, where do I want my life to go, what I want my kids to think about me. So he's not sure. Can I ask a question?

What? Be clear, I don't care. Was this a thing that people were talking about the way Dwight Howard had to do a whole sit-down about it? You remember it was big? They showed him twerking and him touching another player's crotch or butt or something. You don't remember the guy that came forward? He actually was talking about you.

That seemed like years ago. I think it was like last year. How long ago was that? Like a year ago. Yeah, maybe it was last year. He was trying to figure himself out, he actually was talking about you. That seemed like years ago. I think it was like last year. How long ago was that? Like a year ago. Yeah, maybe it was last year. He was trying to figure himself out, he said. Yeah, that's when he had a butt injury or something. See?

No, he did. He had a butt injury. How'd he get a butt injury? I don't know. All right. He got a butt injury. He did. Dwight Howard sat out the season last year because he had like a butt injury or something

like that. Something else that was very exciting for the guys in the room, the Hustlers. Are we done with Dwight? Yes, we're moving on. I just want to say, it sounds to me, that Dwight wants to be gay and y'all won't let him because of your stereotypes and Twitter slanders. He just said he's not gay.

Well, I think, I don't know. It just sounds a little confusing, but I just want him to know that a 6'11", 264-pound man can like men and women. I don't know if he does, but it definitely sounds like he wants to be free and it's killing him that he can't. That's what it sounds like to me. But how'd he get a butt injury? How did you just and women. I don't know if he does, but it definitely sounds like he wants to be free and it's killing him that he can't. That's what it sounds like to me.

How did he get a body? How did you just interpret that? I don't know. He's making content. All right, now let's talk about Hustlers. Y'all all watched the first trailer for Hustlers with Cardi B, J-Lo, Lizzo, Constance Wu, and all of that. What did y'all think?

Because I know in this room. I thought it looked amazing. I'm excited to see that movie because it is based on a true story. Yes. As you may or may not know. I did. I remember reading that last year.

Mm-hmm. About the women who got a bunch of money from clients or something like that. Well, yeah, they actually turned the tables on these Wall Street guys that were, you know, I guess, talking to them and coming to the strip club. So it should be exciting to watch.

Now the director talks about getting Cardi B in the movie. She said that I chased Cardi for two years. She told this to Vulture. She said when she began casting Hustlers, she knew she had to have Cardi B in it, but it took her two years to get her. She said someone sent back a phone number and then she texted and the person wrote back, we know, we'll get back to you. She said, I don't know if I was talking to

Cardi. I don't know if I was talking to somebody else. She said she still doesn't know who answered her DM or her text. She said, I have two phone numbers in my cell phone. Cardi 1 and Cardi 2. I'm not sure if either one of them are actually Cardi. So that's how she's been communicating with her. Why did you just say DM Cardi? Cardi always on Instagram.

And they sent back a phone number. I'm not gonna lie, I got distracted by this headline So y'all forgot about this headline Dwight Howard's injury is reportedly butt related Not back related This is on NBCSports.com Cause I don't know why y'all think I be making up stuff I didn't know he had a butt injury I remember when he had a butt injury

But how do you get a butt injury? I'm just curious You fall on your butt. You got played too much, man. Y'all gotta grow up. Everybody grow up. You're that man alone, man. You never had a butt injury

from snowboarding? Who the hell snowboards? No, I never got a butt injury. I did snowboard a couple times, but I didn't get a butt injury. Yeah, if you fall really hard on that snow.

Your butt is sore, but not enough to take you out for the whole season. You can hurt your tailbone. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor. That seems like a little worse than just hurting your tailbone. Per Shams Sharina of The Athletic, a specialist told Howard he injured his piriformis, which is a muscle, in his butt. End quote. NBCSports.com. But how do you...

In his butt or on his butt? Yeah, that's a good question. Don't know, guys. Okay. All right. Let me Google butt injury and see what comes up. Charlemagne. Yes.

Who are you giving your donkey to? Okay. Four after the hour. We are giving... We're actually giving donkey to a drug mule. You'll like this one. Okay, all right. Four after the hour. You guys play too much, man.

Bro, it's all about asses here on The Breakfast Club. I can't reach out this morning, man. Mules, donkeys, all right? We got asses for you, all types, all kinds. That's what my son say, we suss. My son don't, you and your husband is suss. I'll tell your son to grow up. Now I tell him to grow up?

He come over and be like, dad, you're talking about butt injuries the whole hour. All right I'll tell you something. Now you're telling me to grow up? You come over and be like, you're talking about butt injuries the whole hour. All right. Donkey of the Day is up next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart?

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.

So being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed place. So like a donkey.

Donkey of the Day. a little bit of a mixed place. So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, July 17th. It is the 17th, right? Yes. Goes to an unnamed Colombian man who was arrested at Barcelona's International Airport for trying to smuggle a half a kilo of cocaine through airport security.

I had no idea people still try to smuggle large amounts of drugs through airports. Have you been through airport security lately? You know what? Drop on the clues bombs for the TSA, okay? TSA has joined a long list of acronyms that you don't want new problems with. TSA is right up there with the FBI,

DEA, IRS, CIA, CPS. TSA is right up there with those acrony DEA, IRS, CIA, CPS. TSA is right up there with those acronyms. You don't want no problems with none of those acronyms, okay? Some of us have CLEAR. Some of us have PRECHECK. If you fly JetBlue like me, then you may be a Mosaic member. Drop on the clues box for JetBlue, damn it.

All right, whatever you are, you have these things because you want to make your experience at the TSA go as smoothly as possible. If you don't have these things, TSA is relentless. Your shoes are coming off. Belt is coming off. Jacket is coming off. Anything you can possibly think of bringing on the plane, TSA knows you may possibly bring it. They have, you know, seen all these common things. Common things like a nail clipper with a tiny file attached.

Can't bring it on the plane. Pepper spray, bear spray, none of these are allowed. The TSA even warned you that blenders are not allowed in carry-on bags unless the blade has been removed. I've never even thought about that. It's like who leaves a blender on the plane? Exactly. I've never even thought about that until I saw it on the TSA airport security banned

items list. Oh, no bowling pins either because they can be used to hit someone. Same goes for canoe paddles and cast iron cookware. items list, okay? Oh, no bowling pins either, because they can be used to hit someone, you know. Same goes for canoe paddles and cast iron cookware. Alright, do you know why the TSA bans all these things? Because in all the years of flying, alright, they have seen it all. Alright, the things we look at and say, why would that be banned? Who would try to bring

that through TSA? Well, it's up there because no ideas are original. Nothing new is under the sun. Someone has tried to bring it through before, okay. Liquid or gel food items, nothing larger than 3.4 ounces. And if they are, you know, you got to put those in your check bags. If you're flying with live fish,

do you know TSA will check the bag or container? Oh, they leave no stone unturned. Alright? And no balls left unfundled. I don't even know if that's a word, but I know that every single one of us just wants to make it through TSA without being unfundled. I don't even know if that's a word, but I know that every single one of us just wants to make it through TSA without being unfundled. Think about it.

In this Me Too, Time's Up era, TSA is the only people still out here feeling all over people like it's Freaknik 96, and nobody says a damn thing. We all take it because the TSA has that much power. So I'm saying all that to say, why the hell would anyone try to smuggle drugs through TSA in 2019? Now, there is absolutely no smart way to do it, but I guess if you're going to do it, the best way would be to attempt to hide it in plain sight.

Like TSA is too busy looking at the fine details that they may miss something that's right under their nose. In this case, right under a middle-aged man's toupee. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to MSNBC for the report, please. A Colombian man who reportedly tried to smuggle cocaine under his wig failed to fool authorities in Barcelona. The New York Post reports that police at the city's international airport immediately noticed his super high and puffy hairdo and asked him to remove the hairpiece. When he did, the roughly 1.1 pound, $34,000 bag of cocaine taped to his head was exposed. The man was swiftly arrested.

Operation Toupee is what officers have named this one. You know, I have heard stories of drugs taped to a person's stomach. I have heard stories of people swallowing 35 condoms filled with drugs. I've heard stories of people putting crack in their ass crack. Hell, I remember a few years ago, a woman was arrested at an airport with 900 grams of cocaine sewn into her wig. The difference is, if you see a woman coming through with big hair,

okay, we've seen that before. TSA's still gonna give her a thorough shakedown, but it's not unusual. This guy from Columbia, if you are watching Revolt TV, put the picture back up, Revolt. All right? Look at him.

Look at him, King! Okay? When you are walking through an airport and you hear constant announcements and you read all those signs begging you, pleading with you to report anything suspicious, this is what they are talking about. Look! That is what they are talking about! Okay?

That seems like a lot to hide under your toupee. You think, Angelique? Maybe just a little bit. Really? But I feel like he did a good job. No, he didn't. He got caught. Come on, ye.

Ye. Stop it. No coincidence that a mule is the male offspring of a male donkey and a female horse. This Colombian man is a drug mule, but being that you are what your father is, he is indeed a donkey. Please give this unnamed Colombian drug lord the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw.

This reminds me of something that happened in college. You tried it? It wasn't quite that. Talk to us, Yee. What you do, Yee? One of my friends, we went to this department store. Your friend. Keep your friend now.

In town. No, it was the two of us together. Okay. Her name is Sharon. You're going to snitch on her right now. Well, she got caught, so it doesn't matter. Okay. So we go into this department store.

It was called Bob's. It was where all the kids used to shop on campus at Wesleyan, right? And they called it in town. And she started stealing stuff. She put all these sweaters underneath her coat. And I was like, get this for me too then. She was stealing all kinds of stuff. I was like, well, get me this.

She was like, can you tell? And you could definitely tell. Like the coat was huge. And you told her no. I was like, um, I mean, you know. She couldn't say she was pregnant? She couldn't say it was a foo-fop? All of a sudden, she was about to walk out the store, and they started yelling out,

cold red, cold red. Nowhere. They came running, and they snatched her up. So they didn't touch you? I didn't do anything. You're a accomplice. Definitely an accomplice. I left, and I told our resident advisor, Sharon just got arrested. And you snitched on her?

No, I let her know because we had to get her out. I couldn't do anything about it. I was only 17. So I think you had to be 18 or over to be able to go down to the police station. I tried.

What is she doing with her life now? She's doing well. Okay. I mean, we're freshmen in college. Okay. She doesn't work at a department store. Sharon is a shoplifter. She is.

I don't know if that was on any of her resumes. But she put so much stuff under her coat. I was like, this can't be real. Wherever she works at now, we're watching you, Sharon. That's right. You shoplifter. Okay. Where does she work, Ye?

I don't know where she works now. Oh, okay. You don't speak to her no more. You know, if I see her, though, that's my girl. If you see her, she say what's up. She's very bold My goodness alright thank you for that donkey today Up next ask Yee

800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice Or any type of advice hit Yee up right now She'll help you with all your problems Again the number 800-585-1051 Call Yee now It's The Breakfast Club good morning The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast

Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello. Hi. Hey, Anonymous. Is this the music? Yes, it is. Good morning. Oh, my God. Hi. Good morning. Hey, what's your question for Yee? Okay. So, I love y'all.

First and foremost. I listen to y'all every day. One more way to work. You got us on speaker or Bluetooth? You sound a little muffled. Yeah, you got it. Can you take us on speaker or Bluetooth right fast? Uh-uh.

Better? Oh, that's just your phone. Okay, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Okay. All right. So, I've been in a relationship with my baby dad for years. We're actually in a long-distance relationship right now because I got up and left.

And I really want to tell him that I don't want to be with him anymore. But I'm kind of scared because he is kind of scary. Crazy. What do you mean? You mean physically scary? I mean, yeah. Like, he'll... I feel like he'll be the type to come and burn my house down, that type of s***.

I mean, that type of thing. I'm sorry. There's even more reason not to be with him anymore. I think he got the idea if you left him, though. Don't you think he would realize it then? I mean, yeah, but I mean, I feel like I kind of... Because even after I left, I still continue to deal with him out of town.

Okay. So we're in a total long distance relationship. You know what I mean? So I only see him maybe a few times a year. Okay. And I really want to, and to put dubs on the whole thing, he's getting ready to go to jail. Okay.

So I'm like, I really want to end this whole thing, but it's hard, you know what I mean, because I've been dealing with him for so long and like I said, I feel like I'm kind of a little bit leery about the whole thing because, and I've always been taught, you know, you don't leave a man when he's down. Girl, listen, let me tell you something. You leave a man whenever you feel like you don't leave a man when he's down. Girl, listen, let me tell you something. You leave a man whenever you feel like you don't want to be with that man anymore. I'm kind of leery about it because I'm kind of scared behind it. You know what I mean?

Because like I said, he'll be the type to like go crazy. So I'm like. When is he going to jail? I don't know. Probably within the next few months. Okay. And it's probably going to be for at least a year. Okay.

So is this something that your family is aware of and people close to you? My mom. Yeah, well, yeah, my friends, yes. I think one of the first things to do is, because you guys have a long-distance relationship and you don't have to see him all the time anyway, make sure he doesn't know where you live. You may have to move.

I just bought a new home, and he came to my new home okay so you need to make sure you have a great security system at your new home that he that he has no access to make sure that your family and people close to you are aware maybe it might be a good time for you to even have somebody close to you stay with you if this is something that you're concerned about so that you're not alone and um you know just because of that but i also feel like you have to be honest right because now this thing has dragged out for so long so long and so you have to tell him look i will be that you you guys have a child together right right so obviously you're going to make sure you have a relationship

as far as dealing with your child but that should. Clearly, he's done things that have him going to jail. Does he deserve to be in jail? Yeah. Okay. So you already know what kind of person he is. You're scared of him. So that shows me what type of person that he is. And that seems like a toxic person to have in your life.

Unfortunately, you do have to deal with him because you guys do have a child. And the best thing that you can do is start breaking it off now. That way, when he goes to jail, he's not still coming to you, appealing to you for certain things. And you don't feel obligated because sometimes people get locked up. And this happened to me with my ex-boyfriend. They go to jail and then you feel bad. And then you feel like you have this responsibility to hold him down and not desert him when he's at his lowest, like you said. But what you have to realize is if that person is not somebody you wanted to be without a jail, just because they're in jail doesn't mean that you have an obligation either. Well, that is right.

That is right. I'm getting ready to try to start the process today. I've been trying to start it, but it's, you know, it's hard. We'll put you and your child first. Number one, your child. If you're concerned about yourself, then you should be concerned about the well-being of your child also. That's true. You're right, and I am.

I mean, she is key to everything. Right, so get out there and handle business. You got to keep it together for the baby. Right. Okay, and I love you. I love you, baby. I listen to you every single morning. All right, we love you too.

That's why we care about you, and we want to make sure you're good. I'm going to do some things today. I have to. Good luck and be careful, all right? All right. Thanks, Envy. Have a good one. Ask Yee, 805-85-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice.

Call Yee right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Come on, mom. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Ye.

Keep it real. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Ye. Hello, who's this? This is K-Son. K-Son, what's your question for Ye, bro?

I just had a question because I actually make music and I'm an artist. Oh, boy. And sometimes I get DMs from random accounts. A lot of the times I know that it's spam, but I'm trying to figure out because I don't ever give nobody no money before I know that they legit. Right. So I'm just trying to figure out how do I figure out, you know, who is really legit and who is not because half of the time,

I figure it's all spam, but I don't and who is not because half of the time, I figure it's all spam, but I don't want to miss no opportunity. Yeah, don't let nobody draw a cartoon of you or illustration. I think what you have to do is don't pay people money until they show you what they can do for real. And everyone has to understand that. I'm not going to just give you money. And this happens, you know, a lot of times we do take risks like that.

Like, okay, this person seems like they can really help me out. See what somebody's track record is. Who else have they worked with? Ask them to submit a proposal to you. If they can do

all of those things and show you what they can do, who are their relationships? Look on their social media sites. Let me see what other work you've done.

Do your research. Right. He sent me some information through email and it wasn't as professional as I thought it would be. Right. And I talked to him on the phone

and the only notable person that he told me about, because he said he was the tour manager, that he does some type of business with Troy Ave. But I'm still iffy on it. Okay. I highly recommend what you do is go with your gut instinct. If they send you an email that doesn't sound professional, then what's going to happen when they send an email on behalf of you to other people

that's not professional? They're going to look at it the same way, and they're going to look at you as not professional. Exactly, yeah. So you need to find somebody that really wants to work with you, and you also have to really want to work with them. It has to be somebody that you look at them and you're like, okay, I can see their track record.

I see what their resume is looking like. I see the people they've worked with. I see what they can accomplish. I see the connections they have. And usually you can tell that. So sometimes we're so thirsty for somebody to help us that we overlook those things. Yeah, yeah. That's why, you know,

I took the time I Googled and Facebook for the Instagram and I'm like, eh. Yeah. Well, if you feel like, eh, don't do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Alright. Have a good one, bro. Alright, y'all too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. All right, have a good one, bro. All right, y'all too. All right.

Ask Yee, 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice. Any type of advice, you can call Yee. Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, R. Kelly, he's in shackles, and it's not fun this time. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

They have, I think, City Girls Act Up is number one

That release date has been announced. That's going to be August 9th. Now, Rick Ross was on social media, and he posted a video of himself explaining some things about a rebirth, and he's in some water, and he's about to be baptized. When I realized I was really alive, I sat in a room alone. No television, no music. I just listened to my heartbeat.

Can you hear it? My heartbeat. Are you just standing there? Or does your heartbeat... Was you meant to die? Listen, man, Rick Ross been quietly eating on records all year and nobody has been paying attention. It's like he cut carbs out of his life

and his weight went down and his bars went up. Okay? And Ross been snapping. So to say Ross' bars went up is saying a lot. All right, so you'll be excited for that. Yes. August 9th now, other new music coming out. Chance the Rapper,

he's going to have his official debut album. It's crazy because he's had so much music on, we never thought about this. What's it called, EPs? Knock it off. Mixtapes? Mixtapes, yeah, this is his debut album. It's official.

Stop it, Chance. Stop it already. All right, so the album is called The Big Day, and it's coming out next week, July 26th. All this new music on the way. So he was on The Tonight Show, and other things that he talked about was, you know he's in Lion King, right,

because of his relationship, Childish Gambino, hooked that up. Here's what he had to say about his role. I did a little bit of slight vocal work on the animated film. Will we know it's you when we hear you? No, no, no, no, you won't know it's me. I did a little bit of slight vocal work on the animated film. I did like... Could we know if... Will we know it's you when we hear you?

No, no, no, no. You won't know it's me. It's very weird. It's like I do like a lot of like the background noises in very small parts. Like if you see like an analog grazing. Does that sound? Wow, that's unbelievable. Drop on a clue, it's time for Chance to rap.

Chance wants to be a new artist so bad though. What you mean? Does that sound? Wow, that's unbelievable. Drop on a clue, it's time for Chance to wrap up. Chance wants to be a new artist so bad, though. What you mean? I'm glad Chance finally has the confidence to call this project an album. Artists only do that so if their project doesn't sell

or if it's not received well by the critics, they can say, oh, that wasn't really my album. You put out three critically acclaimed albums that have all done well. Projects that have all done well. EPs. I'm glad you finally have the confidence to put out an album chance.

All right. Now, R. Kelly was in court yesterday. We told y'all that he was going to be in court. And he's been denied bond. He was actually shackled while he was in court at the ankles. Was he hold tight? No, he was not. Shut up, man.

So he is going to remain in jail for now. Now, prosecutors did argue against his release. They said he's a danger to the community, to minor girls especially. They said those girls can show up to his doorstep. It doesn't even mean that he has to go anywhere. So even an electronic monitor, home confinement, none of that is enough. They also said that he can influence and intimidate witnesses and victims, and that's been continuing to this day.

So he pleaded not guilty and he was denied bond. That's what I said yesterday. I didn't think he was going to get bond. I didn't know the technical term for it, but I just thought that he would be considered some type of threat to society. Now, R. Kelly's lawyer is saying that he's not a flight risk. He's already surrendered his passport. His penis

though. And he court dates back in 2008. And they said there's never been any evidence of any trial having been rigged. But you do know the two women that are living in his condo in Chicago at the Trump Towers, Joyce Lynn Savage and Asriel Clary, were in court sitting right behind him. And they are presenting a united front. They were at first supposed to do a press conference,

but I guess they decided not to do that. That's going to change. Now, Angelo Clary, who is Asriel Clary's father, is also saying if you decide to come on home, we'll give you your own apartment, pay the rent, everything. And they even extended that deal to Joycelyn Savage, the other woman who is living in his apartment. Like, we will take care of you. We just want to get you out of there.

How old are they now, those women? Well, they're of age. I don't know, but are they 25 or just 21, 22? Are they a lot older? I don't know their exact age off the top of my head, but they're not old, but they're still young. I still couldn't see that for my daughter. I still would have to, I guess there's nothing I could do,

but I would definitely just try to pull my daughter out of there, regardless. They've been trying. They've been trying. I don't know. All right, now Meek Mill, his attorneys and prosecutors have agreed that he should get a new trial, and that new trial would be for that 10-year-old conviction that he had.

So hopefully that happens for him. When a police officer said they shot at him? That one? My goodness. Would they retry in the case? I'm confused. What they want to do is, yeah, I guess just give him, they should overturn that. And they said, obviously, the officer who testified against him had credibility issues and the prosecutors

are agreeing that that old drug and weapon convictions charges should be overturned. So we'll see what happens. And they want him to get a new trial and I guess that new trial

would be for that. And that should be a quick one. Throw all Meek's criminal records out. Throw the court cases away. Why is Meek on trial for anything?

I thought if the cop lied they would have to throw that away. Why is he on probation? Like, get rid of all that. Listen, I don't know if there's technical things that they have to do within the system, and that's why they're saying they have to overturn that, then give him a new trial, and maybe that'll be super quick and over and done with.

You know, who knows? Hopefully. But Van Jones, as you know, said Meek Mill should have never been convicted in the first place. Both sides of this case put forward multiple credible reasons that there should be a new trial. No judge disputed a single claim from either side. And he does have that docuseries that's coming out early next month in August on Amazon. Meek Mill going to be on probation until he don't even need an old face. He's going to be old and red.

Yeah, he put that old face picture of himself yesterday like still on probation. Listen, you know, about the R. Kelly thing, too, you know, I've been saying that, you know, he's probably going to kill himself. That's just how I see this ending. I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday and they said if he kills himself, he will win because he'll get a lot of sympathy and people will say he's been done wrong. Y'all think that?

Yes. No, but I would rather see him go to jail and suffer in life for the rest of his life. I would prefer that too, but I think if he dies, people will feel sorry for him and be like, well, we never really know what really happened and they will definitely be sympathy for him.
