Yes, it's Friday. The weekend is here. I had a great day yesterday. My daughter finally was allowed to walk across that stage and graduate. Because of COVID and coronavirus, of course, they pushed back graduation.

She's supposed to graduate in June, I believe. No, before June. No, May. Yeah, she was supposed to graduate in May. She was supposed to graduate in June, I believe. No, before June. No, May. Yeah, she was supposed to graduate in May. She was supposed to graduate around Mother's Day, but it was pushed back to yesterday. So it was great. I mean, I'm a happy dad.

She graduated. It was a small ceremony. They only allowed six people per student, which was pretty dope because they actually allowed the students to sit with the families because they didn't want all the students sitting with each other. It was outside, of course, under a tent. It was just a really great graduation. So happy graduation to Madison. I think she

starts school in like two weeks. So she really has no summer. And then after we went to a restaurant called 130 Club in Jersey, Amazing, amazing, amazing food. It's the first time the family's been out since the whole thing to eat together. So that was pretty dope. So, again, congratulations to Maddie. Yeah, congratulations. Yeah, congratulations. And you said COVID and coronavirus.

Well, COVID, coronavirus, you know what I mean. As if we have two threats out there. Congratulations to Maddie, though. Yeah, it was great, man. It was great. I didn't cry. I thought I was going to cry. I'm a crier, but I didn't cry.

And I think I didn't cry because I don't want to say I was over it, but to me, she graduated in May, you know? But it was just kind of like, but it was still a great ceremony. I mean, it's an experience, though. She got the pictures, you know? It's something that she can say she did, you know? Get to do that little pumping circumstance, do that little pumping, pumping circumstance. Do her little dance to pumping circumstance.

Yeah. I never got to march across the stage. Not because of any pandemic. Just because I was a bad kid and I graduated in night school. That's all. Well, that sucks, man. I got kicked out of two high schools. So I don't even know what that experience feels like.

And when your daughter graduates, you should walk with her. You should ask the school if you can walk with her. You know, some people do that. Like yesterday, there were some parents that, you know, went up on the stage that actually gave their kid the diploma for, you know, different reasons. You should ask to do that. You walk across the stage with your daughter. You don't care. I don't care that much.

I remember when I graduated from college, it was raining so hard. We just wanted to get out of there. It was pouring that day. And so it wasn't what it should have felt like just because everybody was just trying to get out of there. We couldn't wear the outfits we had picked out. It was just sitting there in the rain. And then, yeah, that was it. Then we couldn't even really do much because nobody wanted to be outside.

Everybody ran inside after. Yeah, well, the most important thing was my parents were there. And that was my whole thing. You know, my parents wanted to see their grandchild graduate out of high school and start college. So the fact that they were there and able to see that and they were happy, it made their year. So that was the most important thing for me.

So now on to bigger and brighter things. That's right. College. I just rolled out of bed. Rolled out of bed at 5.55. I'm not going to front. That is the one good thing about working from home. You know, it's not like I do that every morning, but this morning I did it and it felt great.

Yeah, I'm tired today. I thought about saying that the connection didn't work here. I'm going back to sleep. I thought about saying that connection didn't work here. I'm going back to sleep. You thought about lying? I did. I was like, poor connection. My goodness. All right.

Well, let's get this show cracking. Run the Jewels will be joining us this morning. L.P. L.P. L.P. That's right. So we'll kick it with them. And we have a pastor and doctor joining us, right, Yee?

Yes, Dr. Soares, and he has this D-Free seminar that he's been doing and that he's been helping people be financially free for the past 15 years. So over the weekend, there's a two-day seminar that Pastor Soares does, and he's the same person that actually coordinated the sit-down between the women's records basketball team and Don Im Imus when he called them nappy headed. We get it. You know. All right.

Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. What are we talking about? We are going to be talking about Biden and Obama and their video that they have for Joe Biden's campaign. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with football. Thursday's opening day.

And each player and coach took a knee before the national anthem. And the game was between the New York Yankees and the Washington Nationals. And that was all in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Each of the teams knelt beside one another and they were socially distancing. And then when they knelt,

a clip of Morgan Freeman talking about social injustice played over the loudspeakers. And then they stood for the national anthem. Yeah, I mean, that's why athlete activism is great. Protest through sports is great. That's why anybody who thought that sports would be a distraction, if you're being honest with yourself, sports is going to be one of the main ways that they keep awareness

on all of these issues because the news cameras have moved away, people. Correct. Sorry. They just have. Dr. Fauci also threw out the first pitch. I don't know if you guys saw it, but they're comparing it to 50 Cent because it was so bad. Was it that bad? I didn't see it. Was it that bad? Apparently. Goodness gracious. Why do people get mad

at guys like Dr. Fauci because they can't throw a pitch? Or get mad at guys like 50 Cent because they can't throw a pitch? They're not athletes. Not easy. That's not what they do. You still wanted to at least, I mean, 50s was just ridiculous. 50 didn't even throw it towards the home plate. It looked like he threw it to third base. There's certain things that you know the ball should go that way,

then it shouldn't be going to the right. All right, now. That doesn't bother me at all. Joe Biden and Obama paired up together and they did a video. It was socially distanced to talk about the campaign and also discuss what's wrong with our president now. One thing they discussed was health care and insurance. The next stage of this is going to be if the stimulus can keep people afloat, then we have to deal with recovery. And the recovery is building back,

but not just building back, as you've been talking, I've been talking about, building back better. That includes child care. That includes turning, making significant investments in infrastructure so people can make not just a living wage, but a union wage, making sure we have a build up an entire new public health system and making sure everybody has health care. And now we have a chance. We can add a public option now. That means economic equity packages for black people since systemic racism put them in the conditions that they're currently in. So we've got to systemically do something to get them out. In addition, Barack Obama spoke about how he is confident that Joe Biden will be able to handle this public health crisis.

You and I had experience dealing with public health crisis. And in each instance, what you and I understood and why I have so much confidence that you're going to be able to deal with COVID in the way that other countries with our kinds of resources are dealing with it right now, which is smartly, I have confidence that you're going to actually listen to the experts. Yeah. And you're not going to quit on trying to actually bend down the curve of disease and transmission rates. Yeah, they still sneak this in, though. They still subtweeting.

They got to speak straight. They talking around the fact that this president and his administration have done a horrible job with coronavirus. Call it out for what it is directly, by name, okay? Say what it is, because people catch these messages in sound bites. So no need to sound like you sneak this in a subtweet, and we know what it is, so say it. All right, well, that is your front page news. Oh, and earlier tweet. And we know what it is. So say it. All right. Well, that is your front page.

And earlier I said football, I guess I meant to say baseball. I'm still a little out of it. But, you know, yeah. And I just watched the pitch. It was it was it was like a baby throwing a pitch. He didn't even get it nowhere near home plate. It was it wasn't as nasty as 50 cents, though. But it was it was a doctor.

OK, why would he be? Why would he be able to throw a pitch? He's Dr. Fauci. Why would we expect him to go out there and throw a 105-mile-per-hour fastball right down the middle? I didn't expect that. Nobody expected that. But, you know, it's like playing a game of catch with your son or your daughter. If you thought Dr. Fauci was going to throw a good pitch, then you're one of those people who thought the executive producer, celebrity apprentice Donald Trump was going to be a good president.

People do what they do. Alright, well that is your front page news. 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. Falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel.

I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullet holes. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat. Nine months before Rosa, it was Claudette Goldman. Get the kids in your life excited about history

by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?

Hey, you're good. Trav, what up, Trav? Hi, Trav. What's up, G? How you doing, boo? Good, how are you? Oh, no. I'm doing good.

What's going on, Char? Peace, sis. What's happening? No, I'm chilling. I'm chilling. I got actually two things. First, I was going to say, the real is back. The real is back.

The LeBron James a rat, baby. Shout out to J. Cole. He got two bangers. Two bangers on you, Charlamagne. Two of them. Man, shut up. You know why I don't respect you? Because you went quiet when he dropped that dud that everybody was killing him over. The little no-name. You disappeared.

You ain't had nothing to say then. You didn't show up talking about, he's just a LeBron James and I've been back. Bro, there had nothing to say then. He didn't show up talking about, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a,

he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a,

he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a,

he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a,

he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a,

he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a,

he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a, he's just a,

he's just a, he's just a, my Instagram, bro. But anyway, secondly, Tom Hanks. I kind of went down like this little wormhole on him, right? So look, there's this actor that made some very heavy accusations about him, right? And then he made this video saying that he's not suicidal, he would never commit suicide.

And then he jumped off a bridge on Route 66, right? And said he committed suicide. They said he committed suicide. If you go to Tom Hanks' page, Tom Hanks has a picture on his page. There's a glove, and the caption says, it's an open road, and it says historic Route 66.

Road kill? I hope not. Hanks. Isn't it scary, man, if you start to like, he's really looking like Tom Hanks. But, alright, y'all. I think you need to stop being an Instagram investigator. You just put a whole murder on Forrest Gump this morning. For what? Like, what did you get out of that?

I have no idea what you're talking about. You just caught up here and just accused Forrest Gump of being involved with a murder. Why? I got too much time. Hello, who's this? It's Sylvester. How y'all doing, Breakfast Club? Sylvester, good morning.

Get it off your chest, Sylvester. So I stayed up. I'm in California right now. I stayed up this late or early because I wanted y'all to drop one of Clue's bombs for AOC and that speech that she gave to Congressman Yoohoo. She, I mean,

dropped the bomb for her. I haven't watched it yet. I heard about it. I saw everybody talking about it. Well, yeah, no, he called her out of her name because she was making a correlation between the rising crime and poverty in New York right now. And even with that being said, I think right now is the perfect time

because I think poverty has a direct correlation to the fact that slavery is still legal in this country. And I feel like while we're calling for team names to change and statues to come down, that like now is the time to call for an amendment of 13th Amendment. Yeah, I agree. And I understand that y'all got to hear things from politicians, but everybody in their mama who grew up in a certain environment knew that once the unemployment rate

hit the way that it was hitting, that there was going to be more crime in the hood, sir. That's why we understand the defund the police thing better than a lot of people, because we know what that money will do for those communities. It'll provide opportunity. And you got to get those people's opportunity if you want the crime to come down.

Exactly. Like you said, if you people's opportunity if you want the crime to come down. Exactly. Like you said, if you put certain communities systematically in this place, then it's your responsibility to systematically help them get out of that place. So I just, you know, I hope that you all, and you've done it before in the past, but I think it's a perfect time

to reintroduce that conversation that like now we need a little bit more than symbolic gestures and we have to amend the 13th and thank you brother get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent hit us up now it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club is your country falling apart feelingressed?

Hey, get it off your chest. Hi, I just wanted to say good morning and shout out to my husband. Our wedding anniversary is tomorrow, so I just wanted to let him know that I love him and appreciate him for all that he does for me. And I can't wait to journey on for the next forever years. What's his name? His name is Andrew. Okay.

Congratulations, queen. That was beautiful. Whoa. I'm so mad he don't got no boo. You're so mad you don't got no anniversary. You just hung up on her like that. You're disrespectful. I feel bad about that one. I thought she was done.

Hello, who's this? Good morning. This is Afia. I'm calling from TakeThePledgeByBlack.com. I called last week. I was just calling to share a fact that made me happy. According to Forbes, they reported that Yelp revealed that the support for Black-owned businesses has increased by 7,000 percent. So that's a good thing. So I just want to commend

everyone for increasing their consumption of Black-owned products and for patronizing Black-owned businesses. And I also want to challenge people to try to replace at least like one category of products with Black-owned alternatives, whether it's like skincare or hair care, or it could be something specific like band-aids or like candles or anything. And then also, last week, DJ Emory, you were saying that you didn't know where to go to find like these black-owned products. So I just want to shout out Angelique and Charlamagne for giving you some suggestions. And then I also wanted

to encourage you to join the Facebook group Black Old New Jersey they have over 190,000 members and I found a black dentist from there shout out to Dr. Hopkins and I also found a um a person who makes like canvas pictures you can find anything there literally anything you need you just search it up and if it's not there, somebody will suggest something for you. And then one more thing, my mom was coming at my neck for saying that Dr. Sandy was too expensive for me last week. So I just wanted to apologize. I mean, I was broke back then.

I didn't want to discourage people from going to her. No, seriously. I didn't want to discourage people from going to her. So, yeah, Dr. I didn't want to discourage people from going to her. So, yeah, Dr. Sandy does amazing work. If you check out Charlamagne's video from when he went to The View, his skin looked amazing. So that's all the proof you need.

She worth the money. So shout out to Dr. Sandy. All right. Thank you, Mama. Dr. Sandy is a miracle worker. Drop on the Clues Bonds with Dr. Sandy, best dermatologist on the planet, black woman. All right. Thank you, Mama. Dr. Sandy is a miracle worker. Drop on the Clues Bonds with Dr. Sandy. Best dermatologist on the planet. Black woman. All right.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way, Yee. Yes, and let's talk about a new song that is being produced. You guys, remember, we are the world, but we'll tell you about what the 2020 version is going to be. All right. We'll get into that next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk Kanye West. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. Well, according to sources, it looks like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been talking about divorcing for a long time after six years of marriage. They said even before this latest bipolar episode, they both had mutually decided that there have been sufficient communications to establish they both feel the marriage has ended. And so they're saying Kanye has now been following a different path, both in terms of his announcement for a presidential bid, as well as in the terms of the way he has chosen to communicate and the things that he has chosen to say. So that's what's leading to this.

Also, according to reports and according to TMZ, Kanye is not even trying to speak to Kim Kardashian right now. He's been ducking her phone calls and rejecting her pleas to come and join him in Wyoming. So there's been very little communication between the two of them ever since he went to his rally in South Carolina last weekend, and they haven't been spending

any time together at all. By sources, when they say sources, when they say sources, do they mean Chris Jenner's PR team? I'm sure. You're not the only person that's leaking this out. Because it seems like it's coming from her side right now. Of course. But you know, imagine if you're with

somebody, right, and they're a huge Trump supporter and they say all these things publicly that you don't agree with. That has to be difficult. Kim is a Trump supporter. You know what I mean? Kim goes to the White House and has conversations with Jared Kushner and Donald Trump as part of her prison reform. I don't know who she for real is, but I'm just saying.

I was just thinking about for myself. I don't mean necessarily Kim, but just imagine what that must be like. Kim has defended Trump on several occasions. I also see Kanye trending on Twitter because Donda didn't drop today. Why do we continue to fall for the same old tricks? When is the last time Kanye dropped an album on Time People? Seriously, when is the last few projects? Yeah, but I think it's more than that.

How do we fall for the same old tricks? Oh, my God. I think it's more than that this time do we fall for the same old tricks? Oh, my God. I think it's more than that this time. I think the gentleman has a problem. I think his marriage is in trouble.

I think he's spiraling out of everything. I think he's having a problem. I don't think it's just, oh, I'm just doing this to promote my album. I doubt that.

It doesn't seem like that. It seems more. Y'all do realize he's done this the last few projects, supposed to drop albums on certain days and doesn't. And then they come out later that afternoon or come out a week later. He's done this the last few projects, supposed to drop albums on certain days and doesn't.

And then they come out later that afternoon or come out a week later. He's done this on every single project he's done for the last couple of years. Well, yeah, and I saw Plies tweeted out, they only play crazy when they got an album coming out. And then T.I. also seems to think that Kanye's tweet about Lil Baby

was just because he does want to work with Lil Baby and never really reached out to him, but he knew that would do it. So T.I. said, oh, he just came up with that one in the moment because that was the request. The man knows how to create compelling spectacles like no other. That he does. And he does throw tantrums like a man

child when he wants something. Instead of just asking for it, he'll throw a tantrum about it or say he can't get it or people are trying to deny it to him. And then he usually ends up winning. He usually ends up getting his way. All right, it looks like Kim Zosiac and Marlon Wayans have made up ever since he said that she looks like the white chick's character,

which a lot of people have always said about her. And if you guys remember, he had posted a picture of Kim Zosiac on his Instagram page and captioned it, no, we are not in production on White Chicks 2. The F. And she was very upset about it. And now she's saying, OK, the two of them ran into each other. And here she is at the airport in Atlanta letting TMZ know what happened.

I was walking out of Nobu. Yeah. And he said, you still mad at me, Kim? You still mad at me? You still mad at me, Kim? Wait, did he apologize? No, he just said, I think he touched Corley. Good man. That's like a prideful apology. So I didn't really know who he was just because the mask and like so.

And then he said that to me and I was like, no, we're good. I can't stay mad at you. And I was walking out. I was like, you know, let me talk to this. I went back in and I was like, wait. And I said, no, we're good. And took a picture. I'm so happy that Marlon and Kim squashed the beef. That could have gotten out of hand. What are you talking about? Shut up. Nah, nah, nah, for real, yo.

They both got shooters. We don't need no bloodshed. You stop it. Thank God that beef was squashed. Thank God the beef between... Stop it. ...Lia and Marlon Wayans was squashed. Thank you, Lord. All right, and Jermaine Dupri is producing

We Are The World-Inspired Charity Song. Thank you, Lord. Alright, and Jermaine Dupri is producing We Are the World Inspired charity song. It's called Change. And artists include Jonte Austin, Neo, Kelly Rowland, Monica, Miguel, Gary Clark Jr., JoJo, Eric Bellinger, and Angel. So he said he took a page from Quincy Jones

when it comes to artists rejecting the opportunity. He said, I've had a few people who rejected being on the song. A week ago, those rejections had me in an effed up space. I'm trying to do something good for the cause. So I had to get myself out of that funk. I'm a songwriter. So when someone rejects one of my songs,

I start thinking the song sucks immediately. He said, that's when I started reading. I read that when Quincy and Michael Jackson did We Are The World, Prince came to the studio and he rejected being on the song. When I saw that, it relieved me because I'm like, that's why Prince wasn't on the song because he didn't like it. I also read Cindy Lauper thought the song sounded like a soap commercial. And a couple of others said they didn't love the song.

So that gave me my next week of confidence. And I started reaching out to the Detroit choir. He said, it's a song that represents this current time that we're in. Yeah. People probably rejected it because we are the world is such a high bar. So when you start calling people up saying we want to do another We Are The World, they're like, eh, that's a very high bar to

touch. But what also made We Are The World iconic is the fact at the time, it seemed like they had every A-list rapper around. I'm not a rapper. I'm a singer. Artists. Artists. Every A-list artist around. So even if Prince wasn't on it.

From different genres and everything. But you know what, though? But you remember what he said? He said he started with Michael. So once you have Michael, which you see a lot more artists be like, oh, Michael's doing it? I'm doing it. Now, if Jay-Z started with, let's say, Beyonce,

all these artists would be like, yeah, I'm in. Or Rihanna, they'd be like, yeah, I'm in, you know? Yeah. very true. All right. Well, to this day, I still know how to do We Are the World in sign language. Really? Okay. Why were you that person?

Why were you that person? Can I see you do it right now? Let me see you do it right now. When I was in school, we had to do a play, and I played the Statue of Liberty. It was called The Statue Speaks. Oh, my goodness. a play and I played the Statue of Liberty. It was called The Statue Speaks. I came to life and I had to tell the story of how the Statue of Liberty got to New York

and got delivered and there were some tourists that came to look at me and I told them my story and then we all did We Are the World in Sign Language. Amazing story, Angelique. Drop on the clues bombs for Angelique. Can you do it right? You ready? There comes a time

when we hear a certain call. When the world must come together as one. Yeah. There are people dying. If you have Revolt TV, you can see the sign language. And it's time to lend a hand. You're not doing it. Come on.

All right, let's go to hook. Do you know the next line? We are the world. We are the children. We are the ones who make a brighter day. So let's start giving. There's a choice we're making. And we look like one of the kids who would receive the proceeds from We Are the World.

Oh, my goodness. Now, we got front page news coming up. What are we talking about in front page news? Yes, we'll be talking about Donald Trump. He has canceled the Republican National Convention in Florida. We'll give you the reason why. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with Donald Trump. trump now he was on fox news talking to sean hannity and he was discussing sending federal agents to high crime cities here's what he said

let us go in we'll clean it up now in portland we had to do it because that was that's their anarchist so we went in and we've been very very. But we want to go in and help the cities. We want to help Chicago. We want to help all of them. Detroit's having problems. We'll put in 50,000, 60,000 people that really know what they're doing and they're strong, they're tough, and we could solve these problems so fast. But as you know, we have to be invited in. Mr. President, I want to ask you about that. We're going to have to do something that's much stronger than being invited in. Once again, man, these cities don't need force. They need funding. We keep saying that.

If you want to help, don't send federal agents. Send federal aid. These people need money and resources. They need to be provided opportunity. They need to be money put into these cities so they can have job training programs and better schools and STEM centers, more money for mental health services so these kids can deal with their trauma and grief. All you're about to do is go into those cities and traumatize them even more

because they already feel like the government don't give a damn about them. Now y'all really about to show them y'all don't give a damn about them. Yeah, that's not a long-term solution at all. Nope. And I'm glad that, you know, they want to clean up a mess that systemic racism created, but that's not how you do it. Right. They need they need opportunity, resources, funding.

That's what that's what cities like Chicago need. Come on, man. All right. Donald Trump has also canceled the Republican National Convention in Florida. And that's because of the surge in coronavirus cases. It was supposed to be in Jacksonville. But cases have continued to spike in Florida. So during a briefing at the

White House, he said presidential nominating delegates would still meet in Charlotte, North Carolina, which was the original planned location, but that there would be no large events. He said, I looked at my team and I said, the timing for this event is not right. It's just not right with what's happened to have a big convention. It's not the right time. It's really something that for me, I have to protect the American people. That's what I've always done. Oh, please. Since when did he start making smart decisions and wise choices? Knock it off.

You know the irony of that whole federal militarized Asian situation? Those same militarized agents will either protect Trump when he refuses to leave the White House on January 20th or escort him out when he refuses to leave the White House on January 20th. escort him out when he refuses to leave the White House on January 20th. Either way, it's going to be interesting. All right. Now there are some new

guidelines for the CDC and those guidelines are coming in favor of opening up schools. And these are guidelines on education, child care, all of those things. They said that children don't suffer much from coronavirus and they're less likely than adults to spread it and suffer from being out of school. They recommend that local officials should consider closing schools or keeping them closed if there is substantial uncontrolled transmission of the virus. But they've been coming up with these guidelines and saying they were going to release them for more than a week now after Donald Trump has demanded that they alter their recommendations for opening schools. The CDC director said it is critically important for our public health to open schools this fall. School closures have disrupted normal ways of life for children and parents, and they've

had negative health consequences on our youth. The CDC is prepared to work with kindergarten through 12 schools to 12th grade schools to safely reopen while protecting the most vulnerable. Hey man, my daughter is 12. You got to convince her because my daughter already said she don't feel comfortable going back, and I'm respecting my daughter's wishes, you know, because she's at that age where I trust her instincts, and I want her to learn how to trust her own intuition.

So if she feels that way, I'm not mad at it, you know. I just got to make sure she's not trying to trick me because she don't like school. According to the CDC, they also said that children often get food, mental health care, speech, language therapy, and other services at school. And so not being in school

can lead to severe learning loss and the need for in-person instruction is very important for students with heightened behavioral needs. But what about the teachers, though? What about those older teachers who work there and principals and stuff like that? They got to be around those kids all day. The kids may be asymptomatic, but what about the teachers? Yeah, but they still got to, you know, the bad thing is these kids got to go to school so parents could get out and go to work.

A lot of these parents don't can't, you know, can't stay home with the kids all day if they got to go out and make money, if they got to go out and work. So and, you know, how difficult it is for a kid to learn in at home by their computer and not have you know the actual teacher showing them how to do things and all that it's very difficult well i'll tell you what when them kids go to school and then they go back home to their parents and you know some of them stay with their grandparents once again they still still asymptomatic they can pass it on to those adults i don't know man i just think that they should give the option like here in new jersey i don't know, man. I just think that they should give the option. Like, here in New Jersey, I don't know how it is across the rest of the country, but in New Jersey, they're not even giving you the option

to have, like, online courses, which is stupid. Like, the schools should make it to where if some people want to come to school, great. Those that don't have online courses available. Right. All right. And just so you guys know,

the U.S. has surpassed 4 million COVID-19 cases yesterday. They added 1 million known cases in just 15 days, as states are reporting record-breaking numbers. How many people are dying, though? That's the thing. How many people are dying from the disease? The mortality rate has dropped. But no, I think 1,000 people died in America yesterday, right? How am I tripping?

I thought I read that somewhere. All I know is we're going to catch McDonald's soon. How many people have McDonald's done serves? Billions. Over a billion, right? Yeah, over a billion. Has that number grown? That number been the same since I was a child.

It's been the same since we've been kids. It should be about three, four billion for McDonald's now, right? Absolutely, yeah. All right, well, that is your front page news. Now, when we come back, we're going to kick it with Run the Jewels, all right? LP and Killer Mike, we're going to talk to them when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. Run the Jewels. Welcome back. Thank you for having us. What's going on?

Happy to be here. Happy to be at The Breakfast Club at the same time. Can I ask you guys a more personal question just relating to this album? The last song, A Few Words for the Firing Squad, right? LP, you got married a couple of years ago, so it hasn't been super long. And obviously, Killa Mike, we know you're an amazing wife. And so I wanted to ask you guys

how the heaviness of the world affects your life at home and how your wives feel about everything that's been going on right now and how have your relationships been affected just with coronavirus, the pandemic, police brutality, the protests, everything that's been going on right now and how have your relationships been affected just with coronavirus, the pandemic, police brutality, the protests, everything that's been happening,

how has home life been and how has it changed? She's been amazing and she's been understanding in that regard and I know that she's affected as well. I'm doing everything I can to try and make her happy right now. We're out at the beach right now, it's her birthday and I brought her out here to just get away from all the s**t. I know for me, that song is very important, and I know this is for Mike as well. This record felt like a chance for me to say, this is who you married.

This is who your husband is. This is the reason why I do what I do. I have a past, and I have principles, and I want you to understand me because you're putting all this love and energy into supporting me. So that record for me is very special. Mike? Y'all know me and Shay, man. Y'all know

some mornings I'm on live waking her up, kiss murder off and she wants to murder me and others where we just two regular parents, a dad and a mom, two taking care of kids that kind of are brought to the situation. So it's allowed us to grow, you know, more in the path of my grandparents. So she's really reverted back to a lot of the very simple, very basic Southern things.

And I've reverted back to my grandfather. Growing a garden and fishing with Greg Street and shit. You know what I mean? I've realized that I have been on the road so long that I have missed a significant portion of my kids' life. Whereas now I've had a chance to be with them and to actually just be with my wife. You know, my wife travels with me. And what I realized at a certain point

that it's unfair to her. In the last tour, she chose to stay home more and I didn't like that as much. So God said, hey, I got one for you, buddy. Now you guys are at home together. Now you got to learn how to communicate better and effectively. Now you guys can take the time to grow businesses and grow a stronger bond and really be the matriarch and patriarch of a family.

I love my wife like Envy loves to you. I can remember being at that table with you, C, and when we were all at that Tyler Perry thing together, and I look at you and your missus to my left, I look at Joy Reed and her mister to my right, and I don't care what differences that's

been had at that table. I don't care what reader, not reader. I realized how normal that moment was, that we were just people with the people who support and love us. I mean, that was a good night. We were just a bunch of black people talking shit. You know what I mean? And I've had to have so many more of those nights

that I realized as much as my dream is that I got and how happy I was with my dream and then run the jewels, that I had missed this bigger happiness of being able to celebrate it with my family. And run the jewels that I had missed this bigger happiness of being able to celebrate it with my family and that's a that's a radically different feeling so I've grown tighter my bond is strong with my wife and we've been able to do bigger and better business together which I love and we've been able to be more philanthropic around Atlanta and um I've been happy just to be home with her I love her she just came back from Savannah so I'm just getting over

two days of being mad she was gone. She still won't get up and make it to the breakfast club in the morning when you guys are out. No, you should wake Shay up because I'm actually in my house. Angela, let me know when we got five minutes because she's getting a f*** up today. You can't wake her up right now right out of her sleep and put her on camera now.

She can mask up. You know what I want to get your guys' thoughts on too? I was thinking about this because all these television shows and movies that we grew up watching, right, that meant a lot to us because this is like a television show also. And right now what they're doing

is a lot of stuff today wouldn't fly. You know, like, of course, the Dukes of Hazzard, you couldn't have that show on with the Confederate flag on the card today. What happens with that content? You see what Gone with the Wind, they took that off the streaming services. So what do you think about all these television shows and movies from back in the day? It's making a ton more money for specialty cable

because I still watch the Dukes of Hazzard. I just go to the country channel and I do the same thing I did when I was eight. I ignore the out of the top of the car. I listen to nice advice from Cooter and Uncle Jesse. I lust Daisy

and Bo and Luke are pretty cool because you have to remember as we're only 56 years into freedom as a people with black folk, I've been seeing the Confederate flag my whole life and it's been benign as a snake with no teeth and no venom. What I've missed and what I'm scared of

with television now is I remember learning about race and class in a very powerful way, watching All in the Family, watching the Jeffersons in particular, when George saves the life of that Klansman because he learned CPR earlier in the episode. And the guy looks over and says,

you should have let me die when he realized it was a black man. As a kid, that allowed me to be tough enough to understand that there's some people that are vehemently dug into racism. You're not going to change them. But seeing things that challenge perception around me just helped me grow. I still like shows like A Different World and The Cosby Show.

I can separate the show from the horrible things that have been done. But that show taught a lot of boys how to be husbands, brothers, dads. So I still watch a lot of the old shows. You know, maybe shows like The Shadner are doing that by putting different lifestyles in our face and saying these people exist. They contend I'm thinking that shows like The Wire have done it. But I don't know where

we're going to go the next 10, 15, 20 years because if we start to be too offended by everything, we stop being willing to be challenged to accept new stuff and be empathetic. It's my opinion. What do you guys think about defunding the police and everything that's going on with police? And even with the rise of the shootings going on across the country,

it almost, this is my opinion, it seems like police officers are not responding per se as they should be. I think we should stop saying triggered words that they give us. You know, both of our fathers haven't been involved in law enforcement. We know that America is never going to defund the total local municipalities and police departments. And if they do, then you will have a federal police agency, and that will become

your Gestapo. So I'm just telling people when you're saying defund the police, I think what people are saying, or I know what the real objective is, is to take some of the funding that police get to become more military-like and put that into other things. When a lot of this sh** pops off, man, you have overfunded military flight tanks. You have overfunded military-like uniforms and guns and ammunition,

and you have underfunded the police athletic league, things that will greater connect the community. You have underfunded loan programs that will allow policemen from a community to live in the communities they police or close. You have underfunded the police payment. Atlanta police, they got a raise this year. They deserved a raise years ago. And there are other things we can fund around education, trade programs that we don't have to pour so much into our police, essentially making them a Marine Corps on the streets, which is not a bad thing to have the Marine Corps.

Shout out to Marines. But we're making them a military force of occupiers versus of service and protectors of the community. All right, we got more with Run the Jewels when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Run the Jewels.

Charlamagne? I want you to unpack a line for me, man. It's on the new album. I think it's on Yankee and the Brave. He said, I got one round left, 100 cops outside. Cops outside. I can shoot at them and put one between my eyes. It's over the ladder.

It don't matter. It ain't suicide. And if the dude say it was, it's a goddamn lie. It seems like that single man describes the black experience in America. Those are the two options. You either kill him or kill yourself. Unpack that a little bit for me. There's a time that's going to come in this country that

if we keep at the pace we're going that citizens are going to have to decide is my freedom and liberty greater than the comfort of government control. Living black you often feel this earlier. You feel the brunt heavier and people don't have to believe you. But the attitude is that because the spirit is that I got one book, you know, I'm not going around looking to hurt nobody or be hurt.

But at some point, the world is going to mount itself against me in a way where like that hero versus that coward, Trayvon versus that coward George Zimmerman, you gotta fight to the very f***ing death. And that is the black experience for me. The black experience is one, like, that line wasn't a hopeless line. Sometimes the odds are so f***ing far against us that

that's what it is. But like Fred Hampton, they're gonna kill me, this is gonna be in my mother f***ing sleep. Or I'm just gonna kill myself, and I'm not gonna give these devils and these predators and these evil motherf***ers the satisfaction of knowing they killed or broke. And if we stand in that solidarity, if everybody does that little bit, a lot doesn't have

to get done. We have to understand that the greatest part about this moment of being black or being a part of the proletariat or any part of any people's struggle right now is the motherf***ing backs on the ropes. They are afraid in this moment. You know, Mike, you mentioned Trayvon

and a lot of these abolitionists, they want to abolish the police and adopt like a community watch program. But when you think about how wrong that could go, what do you think about that? My thing is what is going to be the vetting system for the community? Will each community decide what their laws are?

How will they decide that? So I'm not saying it's not possible. I'm saying, what does it look like for each community? Because the way it looks in Atlanta may be something radically different from the way it looks in Detroit. That's why it's plot, plan, strategize, organize, and mobilize. It's possible white communities do it. But while we're dealing with what we got, what we can do is adjust things.

The big thing we can adjust is the 13th Amendment. The 13th Amendment allows for slavery in case of imprisonment. It literally says that. Now we have contracts where private prisons are guaranteed an 80% occupancy. So if I move to a town outside of Atlanta, and that town is a struggling municipality, that town has the ability to invite a private prison there. The private prison comes there and says, we must have 80% of occupancy or you're breaking your contract. All of a sudden, this town that used to be a town I used to drive through turns into a speed trap, a dope trap.

They got five police dogs. They search in every car. And people who get caught with three grams of marijuana get one year. Because that one year you're in there helps keep that 80%. And it turns into an evil system where the prosecutor prosecutes for pay. The judges do it. So we have to start to say to ourselves, what does policing look like on the big? Let's get that changed on the local level. Why don't we have community review boards that are empowered to fire police. The only way you're ever going to defeat police unions is by using public pressure on politicians and demanding something. You're going to have to tax pensions. It's because it's your money they pay out. So I just want us to just know that as a community, there's never been a more opportune time for you to radically change

policing on a local level. Now take that precedent to the polls. If your mayor doesn't agree, get that motherfucker out of office. If your judges and prosecutors are compliant in police brutality, vote those f***ing motherf***ers out of office. And if we don't do that, at some point we have to allow ourselves to say, we take some blame and let these evil motherf***ers live when we could destroy them politically in the right now. You know, I'm thinking about the Reagan record.

And you start off the record, I think, with the freedom of some bullshit. Will we ever do it bigger? Just keep settling for little shit? I feel like we keep settling for little shit, especially on a federal level. Yes, man. How do we change that? I think there's no better time. I don't think the answers come from two rappers that are stoned in the morning on radio. I think the answers come from people like the brother Desmond I was talking to last night who was getting felons voting rights restored in Florida.

He has the ability in Florida to change that entire state based on getting over a million people their right to vote back. You can radically change things through voting and money. We can do things like participate in our census so they know where we at. There's a way to change the system in the right now. But I don't think it comes from two stone wrappers in the morning. It comes from the people that are organizing racial justice now, New Georgia Project, developing options. It comes from them because those are the people that are doing it every single day. And we should make sure those small groups like Judge Asha Jackson from DeKalb County, Judge Jackson set up a restorative program

through her court using her own money. Using her own money, she allowed people who would have faced time, you know, minimal time, but still bulls**t time that would have radically changed the rest of their life. She set up a program that was restorative that allowed those people to get back on pace. Her program is going to be picked up and mimicked by the state of Georgia due to a woman named Miss Ali who comes out of the

juvenile court system in Georgia under Judge Brad, well, worked with Judge Brad Boyd, who was a friend of mine, who instead of giving my homeboy, who was a gangster disciple, time in jail, allowed to become an organizer and radically changed his life to be a husband and father. With these kind of people leading the way, I think that changes.

I agree with Mike. Isn't it ironic that we have people fighting to get their right to vote, right? Their rights have been taken away and then there's people who will say, hold your vote, don't it ironic that we have people fighting to get their right to vote, right? Their rights have been taken away. And then there's people who would say, hold your vote, don't vote. It's just crazy that we have both of those things happening simultaneously. I think that everyone is a little bit confused as to how to proceed because nothing has ever seemed to really work.

And I think that we find ourselves arguing intellectually and just trying to figure out, like, well, what the f*** is, where is my power? I know that I have gone through many different changes in the way that I approach, the way that I engage with the system. There were years when I refused to vote because I had personally decided that it was a sham. I have evolved. I started to realize a lot of that perspective was rooted in entitlement. A lot of that perspective was rooted in the fact that I didn't personally feel a lot of the effects of the policy changes that happened on a local level in the communities that were really affected by it. So now I do participate, but I think that everybody is very confused about how, like, all right, you put yourself in a situation where you know that you know this motherfucking Trump got to get out of office.

But then you get to a point where you're like, well, what does that mean? Does that mean that I'm endorsing someone that I don't necessarily agree with intellectually or politically? I like to say Nina Turner should be president of the United States. And I would like for everyone to get behind her for 2024. I think to answer Angela's question, Malcolm X said by any means necessary. And that's the black people out there, if you have a municipality where you are dominant in that municipality, it makes sense, or you leverage a swing vote, it makes sense to organize your vote for whichever party member is going to do the most

for your community concerns and the wider community concerns. That's your duty. If you have the ability to use your vote as a threat to say we will not vote because you're a swing vote, you do something and you hold that line. Votes have worked. So I just want people to know the vote is important. And if it is important, use it and leverage it. Let's

organize, man. Charlemagne has been telling us what's happening in Portland. Charlemagne told us what happened a year ago. He said, Mike, I'm scared this mother****** might not leave. Now it's like, get the hell out of here. He said, no, all he got to do is activate martial law. So if they're experimenting and traveling in Portland, what

do you think it's going to look like in Detroit? Or Chicago? Or Gary, Indiana? Blackburn, New York. You better organize your vote. And Trump told us last week, no, that was Sunday. He was like, yo, if he loses, are you going to leave the White House?

He said, I don't know. I'm not a good loser. I'm like, this mother****** telling us what he plans to do. All right, we got more with LP and Killer Mike, a.k.a. Run the Jewels. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it. We're running The Jules. Charlamagne? Mike, what do you think of Asheville, North Carolina, approving a reparations plan for its black residents?

Anything we're going to have is going to start at a micro or small level. John Conyers has been, since 1989, God bless the day when he died last year, has been pushing since 89 to get the study of reparations studied. The Angela Project said black people are owed in excess of $15 trillion. Bob Johnson, who went to the White House and requested this,

says that it comes out to about $350,000 per person. I averaged it at maybe about $450,000, $500,000 even. But not only would it be a cash statement, you'd have to figure out how much land people should get, how much education, tax incentives break, something to truly make up for 250-year-old start to try to put us here. And everyone knows that if our community is stronger economically, the greater community is stronger. And that's just not me saying that. Cities like Chicago, all of a sudden, you have kids that are educated.

You can reverse the evil redlining that happened for over 80 years in that country. And then you can get this country where everybody's wanting full steam. And then you get a country that can truly be dominant without warfare. Wow, I know y'all gotta go. I know LP on vacation.

I just wanna ask y'all one more question. Run the Jewels is a critically acclaimed rap group, but I saw one negative critique of the album by a man named Eric Schreiber, and he said, rather than offering any social insight or clarity, the group's lyrics demonstrate a good deal of confusion. Members Killer Mike and LP match every healthy statement with several backward ones? How would y'all respond to that? How the f*** do we know what he's talking about?

You got a nine specific lines, sir. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. First of all, no, no, no, no. We're not above criticism. I mean, we don't have to, everybody doesn't have to love everything that we do, but be clear in your critique, Gary. That's all I'm saying.

No, but hold on, hold I'm saying. Hold on. Hold on, Mike. Hold on, Mike. Me and Mike are two stoned friends. We are making rap music. We are confused. And we are not here to offer a political solution in a rap record. We're here to represent the feelings of two dudes that I think connect pretty well to the feelings of people on the street

and in the world. No, mother f***er, you can't just criticize me. Like, let me put on my TI cap. You can't just criticize me without mother f***er telling me your criticism. I argued with a young woman the other day. She said, I didn't like your speech with the mayor. And I said, oh, really?

I said, well, what did you like? I don't know. I haven't listened to it. Well, this is simple. My thing is, if you want to criticize my music, fine. But you gotta honestly give an example. I'm not above criticism, but I just, my s*** is, please just say some real s***

like, I just don't like them. And that's okay, too. So forgive me for being passionate, but my real work, Elle's real work, benefits the world in a real way because you're watching a movie on audio. So I just challenge you to re-listen,

get really stoned, have sex with whatever guy or girl you love, and just get f***ed up on shrooms and weed and listen to it as an action-adventure television show. So there are going to be moments of morality. There are going to be moments of utter perversiveness and f***ed up and weird s***. But if you allow yourself to suspend the disbelief

of Jamie and Mike, and you'll meet them after the show, but just get into the characters of Killer Mike and LP, I just want to say, listen again, and we'll do lunch. And then if you don't like it still, you can just say I don't f*** with it. I will say his critique is a little off though, because he even talks about

Killer Mike's speech in Atlanta. Exactly. He doesn't f*** with Mike. He doesn't f*** with Mike. We knew that's what it was. Envy, defend me, man. Defend me, Envy. Damn it. I don't listen to those people if I did man

yo Envy I gotta shout this out you've been riding a bike right so I gotta give a shout out to my man Bear Courtney Bear Seals he's just a man he's getting me into it there is a beige brown and black white coalition

growing in this country you are a leader. I love you. I am moving away. And I got to shout out State Bicycle Company because we raised a good amount of money for protests and Black Lives Mattering. We

did that through a Kill Your Masters BMX bike that we did as a one-off. There were only two. I have one. But we're going to produce that bike and we're going to do some more good in the world. So Bear got me on the bike. It's Bear Maltby. Seeing you next to a Ferrari and a bike said maybe I should take this seriously.

I'm enjoying it. I'm getting my cardio up. I'm losing weight. And you know what? It's a time just you and the boys go out and you're doing something positive. You're just riding it. You look good, man. Why can't the women go out to the gym? They can.

Absolutely positive. There's women out there riding, and they will outride me in a minute. All right. I see Shayna's still not up. Hold on. I'll be right back. Don't do that to her, Mike. No, leave her alone.

Leave her alone. Don't do that to her. Don't you dig me? Hey, you got to get up. Angela says, why aren't you up? No, don't do shit like that. Oh my goodness. Hold on. You want me to bring the phone in here?

Hold on. Look, we got to take this bitch to the bedroom. She got an $11,000 bed. What the fuck are you talking about? Hold on. Real quick, Mike, I just want to say just for what it's

worth because you mentioned it, something that we're about to announce. But when we gave away this record, when we put this record out, hey, Shay. Hey, Shay. Hey, Shay. When we put this record out, we actually gave a free record out as well. Like, not only did we sell it, but we gave it away for free as well. And anybody who wanted a record could have the record. And one of the things that we asked people to do was donate to an organization called the National Lawyers Guild,

which is an organization that helps protesters with legal work to get out of, you know, that are scooped up by the cops and that provides washcloths for protesters. And the public, through that and through getting our album, has donated over $180,000 to that fund. So I just want to thank everybody for doing that. And it's one of those things that makes me and Mike really proud that we have the type of ear with people because that's like tangible good that for us we could do together. So I just wanted to shout out all the Jewel Runners for making that happen. That's important. And that's actually going to put some real work out there.

So thank you. The Lawyers Guild is dope because it's part of the Mass Defense Committee, and that's like the lawyers, legal workers. They even give money to law students, provide legal support for political activists, protesters. It's dope. Thank you guys so much. We really appreciate this. This is amazing.

Let's get into it. What do you want to hear? Too much political talk, man. Let's play that out of sight. Out of sight. Out of sight. Let's do it. Two things. Word. All right, well, here we have it. It's the Breakfast Club.

It's running jewels. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. All right, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk the fight of the century. It's about time. What's going on?

Rumor report. Rumor report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Mike Tyson versus Roy Jones Jr. Contract is signed. So that is going to be on Triller, a social media app.

I don't know if I want to see that, though. I want to see it, but I don't know if I want to see it. You ever get that feeling like you want to see it, but you're like, these two old men are going to hurt each other. They're going to hurt themselves. I'm surprised the zone didn't pay for that fight. But, yeah, I pray for both of them. I don't want to see any one of them hurt.

I know Mike was more popular than Roy Jones back in the day, but as a fighter, Roy Jones Jr. had a much better career, and Roy Jones Jr. is one of the best pound-for-pound boxers of all time. Okay, Roy was a champion of four different weight classes. Let's not get that twisted. But who's in shape now? Yeah, that was 15 years ago. Who's in shape now?

Both of them. What are you talking about? Have y'all seen Roy Jones? Roy Jones just stopped fighting like a few years ago. Let me see what Roy Jones' last fight was. In 2018. 2018, exactly. It's an eight-round exhibition match. It's happening on September 12th.

It's being called the Frontline Battle. So it'll be available on pay-per-view and on Triller. There will also be an undercard in live musical performances from artists that have not yet been announced. Now, my son told me Nate Robinson is going to be on the undercard. Nate Robinson is going to be fighting. Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead.

Yeah. YouTuber Jake Paul will also be fighting Nate Robinson on that undercard. Listen, you know I'm always rooting for everybody black, okay? But if I was a betting man, even though I don't gamble, my money would definitely have to be on Jake Paul. Have you seen Jake Paul? He's buying boxes. Yes. my money would definitely have to be on Jake Paul. Have you seen Jake Paul? He fights on those undercards, and he's fought on his own pay-per-view before.

Did Jake Paul get busy? He does, but we don't know if Nate Robinson was a previous boxer. We don't know. That's true. We don't know if Nate gets busy. I hope so. I hope Nate just doesn't go in there thinking, oh, yeah, I could go beat up this white boy.

I hope he doesn't think that. All right. Well, for Mike Tyson, he could go beat up this white boy. I hope he doesn't think that. All right. Well, for Mike Tyson, he said he's personally not getting rich from the fight. He said his cut will go to charity. He's not getting anything. So they paid about $50 million for the rights to the fight. And for Roy Jones Jr., he has the potential to make more than $10 million for the fight if the pay-per-view numbers are pretty big.

Wow. Listen, I'm going to be there. I'm not going to sit here and act like I'm not going to be there to see that one. I'm watching Roy Jones Jr. and Mike Tyson. I just pray for both of them, and I don't want to see any one of them hurt each other. And the reason I will be watching that fight is because I love to see people defy their age, so to speak.

You know, people say, oh, you're over 50, you shouldn't be in the ring fighting, yada, yada, yada. We'll see. And plus, I think it's a good time because we all need some stuff to watch, too. And it's September 12th. There's not going to be fans

in attendance, so you can only watch it on the app and on pay-per-view. Yeah, I don't want to see those two brothers hurt themselves, though. Like, I just remember Zab Judah fighting

what, a year ago and how he had brain damage or his brain was bleeding. He was in the hospital for a couple of days. I just don't want to see that for those brothers. And they're going to go hard. Roy Jones days. I just don't want to see that for those brothers. And they're going to go hard.

Roy Jones Jr. and Mike Tyson are absolutely going to go hard on each other. And if you read Jay Prince's book, you know, Jay Prince tried to make this fight happen a while ago. I don't know why it didn't happen, but yeah. All right. Now Taraji P. Henson is going to be starring in an Empire spinoff that's based around Cookie. So her new production company will also produce the show, as it was announced,

and Lee Daniels and Danny Strong will be her co-executive producers. So congratulations to her for that. That's dope. Drop on the Clues Bounce with Taraji P. Henson. And she got a first look deal with 20th Century Fox, I believe. So salute to her. And in more Black Girl Magic news, Joy Reid has pulled in near record numbers of viewers for the premiere

of her MSNBC show, The Readout, on Monday. She got 2.6 million overall viewers. It's the second most watched regularly scheduled episode to air in the 7 p.m. hour in MSNBC's history. Dropping the clues, Bonds, for Joy Anne Reid. I love that MSNBC has her

on in that time slot. You know what I'm disappointed in? I'm disappointed in CNN. And the reason I'm disappointed in CNN is because you remember in 2016 when Barack Obama was leaving the White House and we didn't know who the next president was going to be, CNN gave a platform to so many black voices that we trust now, whether it's Angela Rye, Bakari sellers you know van jones um like just there's a lot of dope people they're not doing that this this time around so it's good

to see msnbc giving a a black woman a platform especially at a time like this like i would think that there'd be so many black voices and faces on these news networks right now but it's not it's weird right and joy Joanne Reed's first guests were Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms from Atlanta, and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. It's just very tone deaf of these news networks

not to have more black faces on at a time like this. Like, it's just very, very tone deaf. So once again, salute to MSNBC for somebody up there having a clue. And not just as commentators. Let's have them as, you know, regular, paid on all the

time, have their own shows. Alright. Ryan Henry hasn't built his only fans page. So that should be exciting for some people who have seen that he's been working out. It's $28.49 a month. And, yeah, so he put on social media, he posted a picture,

and he said, well, not for y'all. It's for them. And link in bio if you want to see Ryan Henry's Only Fans from Black in Chicago. People are making money. Trom, how do you feel about that? How do you feel about it? I don't feel any type of way about that Now let's be real

A lot of people are on there Wow Wow You got so defensive Ruby Rose made $100,000 in two days On OnlyFans And her content was very PG And it's a lot of the same content

She already posted on her social channels So it wasn't nothing crazy So it's not all X-rated. And Ryan Henry said that he's going to be doing only PG cooking content. So it's not nothing risque like that. How do you feel about Ruby Rose? I'm a fan.

Wow. Two totally different energy shifts. Totally. When I asked you about Ryan Henry, you got all angry and defensive. I asked you about Ruby Rose. You're like, I'm a fan. One speaks to my interest and one is just a random... I don't know why you pulled me into the Ryan Henry conversation. Wow, Drum.

Alright. Thou who protests. And The Dream also used OnlyFans to promote his album to his last album, Sex Tape 4. So, just an FYI. How do you feel about that, Drum? I'm messing with the Dream. I like it.

Oh, so you like his OnlyFans. That's dope. Oh, okay. So you like the Dream's OnlyFans. All right. He's on there shirtless. Why are we going down this road? I don't understand.

Now, I do want to say, if you guys do subscribe to any OnlyFans pages, Bobby Lights has an amazing one if you have an opportunity to see his. Drum? No, no, no.

You want to go down Bobby's old town road? Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. Brought to you by Black is King. Streaming July 31st. Experience the new visual album from Beyonce with music from the Lion King, The Gift. A celebratory

memoir that reimagines the lessons of the Lion King. Black is King starts streaming July 31st only on Disney+. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, Charlamagne, who are you giving that donkey to? Let's talk stupid executives, culturally clueless executives. It amazes me that people can systemically do things to hurt people but can never systemically do things to help people. We'll

talk about it. We need the Washington football team to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with them. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey stuff. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey,

man, hit me with the heat. Did she get donkey in the name, please tell me? Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. At the breakfast club, bitches. You're a donkey. Donkey of the day for Friday, July 24th goes to the Washington football team. I say Washington football team with a question mark.

I know when you heard me say that, you said, what is the Washington football team? Now, I looked it up this morning washington dc is home to 22 flag football teams that play under the dc gay flag football league uh the dc defenders of the xx xfl began playing in february in dc but we all know the most famous football team in dc is the team formerly known as the redskins, the fifth most valuable franchise in the NFL, now known as strictly Washington football team. You can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's go to Fox Business News for the report, please.

The most boring name in the history of sports. We'll tell you that ESPN is reporting that, effective immediately, Washington, D.C.'s NFL franchise is going to be calling itself, quote, the Washington football team, pending adoption of a new name. Now, I've heard of unemployed people being between jobs. I've heard of people who are moving, being between houses. I've even heard of people of faith being between blessings. But I've never in my life heard of a football team being between names.

All those executives up there making all that money, none of y'all could think of anything better to do in the meantime. Okay? Y'all didn't have any better entertainment for the halftime show. In fact, during this intermission, we didn't even need a performance. We could have just went to get snacks. Okay? Y'all couldn't think of nothing better?

I understand Redskins is offensive. Okay, I'm glad they are changing the name, but, bruh, they have been the Redskins since 1933. In fact, they were the Boston Redskins, and then when the franchise moved to D.C. in 1937, they became the Washington Redskins. So, 83 years. 83 years you have unapologetically been the Redskins, ignoring everyone who said that name was offensive, but now all of a sudden, it's such an immediate need to change it that you just decided to be Washington football team. Only person who ever changed their name to nothing was Prince. But at least Prince had an interesting symbol. Y'all could have done that. Okay, y'all could have said y'all the Washington football team and then gave the world a great logo. That could have worked for the moment. I would have rather seen that in the meantime, okay,

than what y'all did, which is nothing. I'm also not mad at the simplicity. Sometimes we complicate things by giving it these extravagant names, but you can't just, you know, be Washington football team. You have to add a the. So Washington, the football team, like Chance, the rapper, or Benny, the butcher, Tyler, the creator. The changes things.

Chance Rappel, Benny Butcher, Tyler creator, right? Eh, okay. Washington football team. That all sounds stupid. But when you add a the, Washington, the football team, that sounds kind of hard. Now we might have something, okay? Redskins have a lot of fans out there, all right?

That DMV area reps hard for their squad. Taraji P. Henson, Kevin Durant, Wale, Dale Earnhardt Jr., they love their Redskins, and they deserve better than this. And furthermore, the name should be a no-brainer, okay? You've been offending indigenous people all these years, offending Native Americans all these years. Sit down with some Native Americans and come up with something that they all find empowering,

and boom, you got your name. It's really just that simple. How is it so easy for y'all to systemically offend, but you cannot systemically uplift? And I don't think you understand the impact that this no name change has on black and brown people. All right. There is a comedian named Don L. Rollins. You may have heard of him. Ashy Larry. Okay. You know, Ashy Larry, right? Whenever there is a

comedy show and it's like Monique and friends, Dave Chappelle and friends, he's always one of the friends. Yes. That guy, right? Funny individual. Brings a lot of joy into people's lives, and currently he is miserable. All right? More miserable than usual. Sick of a Washington football team, okay? When you script the team's identity, when you script their name, you script the identity of the fans.

They feel nameless. They feel lost, okay? What are they supposed to do with years and years of merchandise? And in D.C., you have to be specific about what football team you're talking about because, like I told y'all earlier, they have 22 flag football teams that play under the D.C. Gay Flag Football League. So right now, brothers like Donnell Rollins are not okay. Okay, they're sick, literally. In fact, a welfare check had to be done on Donnell Rollins because of this no-name change.

Okay? A brother who had to perform the welfare check called up and told us what happened when he had to do a welfare check on Donnell Rollins due to Washington's no-name change. Okay? Listen. I was in the hotel, and so we had to do a welfare check. Rawlings due to Washington's no name change. Okay, listen. I was in the hotel and so we had to do a welfare check. So I go in the room and I turn the corner and he's laying butt naked in the middle of the bed in a fetal position.

So at this point, did you know it was Donnell Rawlings? Yeah, I knew. So then after that, I smacked the side of the wall. I'm like, bam, I start smacking the wall. All of a sudden he wakes up. He's like, oh my God! Wow. Pray for our brother, Donnell. Pray for brother Ashy Cheeks.

Pray for all Washington fans. Once again, Washington football team, sit with some Native Americans. All right? Same way you use the slur that offended Native Americans all these years, find a name that empowers Native Americans, indigenous people.

And if you don't want to do Native Americans, just find a name that uplifts and empowers a marginalized community. All right? D.C. was known as Chocolate City. All right? They're still known as Chocolate City. Okay? So maybe name it something that empowers black people.

But literally, all you culturally clueless executives who work for that franchise, your mindset should be, we offended for 83 years with Redskins. Let's uplift and empower with the next name. Simple. Please give the Washington football team the sweet sounds and the hammer tones. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw.

Yes, man, and please, man, pray for Donnell Rollins. Today, let's do hashtag pray for ashy cheeks. Hashtag pray for ashy cheeks. I mean, just we want to send some positive vibes, you know. Okay. Go to Donnell Rollins on Instagram. You know what I'm saying? He's not really active on Twitter.

So at Donnell Rollins on Instagram and, you know, just go into whatever his latest pictures are, the pictures he posts all day and just put hashtag pray for ashy cheeks. You know what I mean? Brother, they had to do a welfare check on our brother because of this name change. Some people take these name changes seriously, man. All right.

All right, well, we come- 57 years old. You've been a Redskins fan for a long time. He sure has. All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. When we come back, Angelique, who are we kicking it with? We have Pastor Soares joining us. He is the senior pastor of First Baptist Church

of Lincoln Gardens in Somerset, New Jersey. He also is the former secretary of state of New Jersey and the former chairman of the Federal Election Assistance Committee. And he has this financially free series that he does. Everything is free, free online classes. And this is an initiative he's been doing for 15 years. So they are actually going to have a virtual conference this weekend. And he'll be talking about that. And you can go to mydfree.org for more information or to sign up for this free webinar. But Pastor Stories will be joining us. All right.

And we'll kick it with him when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. You're checking out the world's most dangerous morning show. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we have a special guest joining us. Now, break down who this is, Yee. Pastor Soares is joining us, and he's the senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens. That's in Somerset, New Jersey. But he also does these free webinars and free online classes for financial freedom. So we have the online seminar going on this weekend, and we'll be talking about that.

Welcome, sir. Thank you. Glad to be here. Dr. Soares, this is an amazing year for you. Okay, because first of all, with the First Baptist Church of Lincoln Gardens, what's happening this year? Well, I plan to retire in November if coronavirus lets me. Yeah, I was wondering, are you still planning to do that? Because I know you said last year in November you were retiring. Well, I gave the church about 15 months notice, but we didn't anticipate this virus.

And right now we're still doing everything virtually. So I'm really thinking hard about the needs of the church and whether or not the transition can actually happen on time. But if it's not on time, it'll be in time. Now, why are you retiring? Are you focusing on other things? Is it time or you're tired or you have other things in the work? Well, I'm not tired. I'm in good health. The church is strong. We've got five generations that are regular participants in the ministry. And I think it's time for me to transition while things are strong. You know, who wants to hold on to the point where

the thing is almost dead and then they try to bring somebody in to revive it? And so I think it's time for guys like me with my background and experience to make way for younger leaders while things are going well and while I'm still healthy enough to support the transition. You did the same thing when you when you fired your wife, too. We won't talk about that in public. No, but you said it was time to bring in younger people, right? And you want to make sure that we always are doing that because we see young people are out there on the front lines right now when it comes to the protesting, when it comes to everything that's happening. It is important for us to make sure that the next younger group of people are ushered in. Well, that's exactly right. You know, I think when I was coming along, a lot of the older leaders

resented the younger people. In fact, they created barriers for us. And if you look around Black America, whether it's churches, organizations, HBCUs, many of them are weak because the old line leadership held on too long. And I think what we're responsible for is transitioning out while we can still breathe and talk and create and be resources to younger people. For instance, the activists today, you know, young people are doing what I did back in the 1970s. I was protesting police brutality, putting cops in jail. I've got experience. I've got knowledge. But it's not my role to jump out in front of the camera and on the mic to lead these protests.

So now I donate money to the protesters. I give them strategic advice. They're using my church on Saturday to start and finish a march. And I'm teaching the young activists. I'm lending support, but I'm not trying to hold on to the microphone and be in front of the camera. Now, what is the Free Global Foundation? What does the foundation do? Well, thank you.

It's D-Free, and the foundation teaches churches, community organizations, Greek letter organizations, how to use a strategy to help their members become financially free. The strategy is based on the books that I've written, the books that I've written based on my own experience. As I said, I was an activist in the 70s. We didn't use the word woke back then, but, you know, we used the word conscious. But if I update it, I was woke, but I was broke. I was leading protests, but I was getting calls from bill collectors. I was on Gil Noble's TV show like it is all the time talking about black power, black liberation, but I had had insurance, I could not have supported her at all. She'd have been homeless had she depended on me.

So I lived for about 12 years, paycheck to paycheck, credit card to credit card, and I was flaunting a lifestyle that looked one way, but I was living a reality that was completely different. And so in that sense, you know, I was a hypocrite because I was considered an emerging young black leader, and I was leading social protests but had no financial footing at all. And so D3 is a description of a strategy. It starts with minimizing debt. Pay as you go. It continues to focus on delinquencies. Pay your bills on time.

We spend billions of dollars a year just on late fees because we're not organized. And then delinquency, living with a budget below our means. And when we talk about financial freedom, when we talk about black economic strength, we often talk at the top, we talk about supporting black businesses, which is good. We talk about owning black businesses, which is good. We talk about owning black businesses, which is good. But the reality is if we're living above our means, if we're paying last month's bills, next week's check, if we have nothing saved, and if we have no strategy for increasing our credit scores and our savings, then we're just talking.

We've got hashtags, but we've got no real strategy. The foundation trains organizations for free free and we spread the curriculum. We have a strategy. We have a curriculum. We have tools and we give them away for free. What do you tell people today during this pandemic? Because, you know, usually they say, you know, you should have enough for maybe three months or six months in your account. But obviously that a lot further than six months, you know, seeing what's going on out there. So what do you tell people now with trying to save and trying to survive and trying to make sure they are okay? Well, the people that I'm close with, I tell,

I told you so, because we've been preaching this now for 15 years. This is our 15th anniversary of the brand and the strategy and the curriculum. And while I don't want to beat people down, the fact is we've been begging people for 15 years to watch what you spend, to spend strategically, to save money, to live below your means, and to identify strategies for increasing your wealth. We don't talk enough about things we can do with what we have. And so that's number one. Number two, as I mentioned, if you look at the stock market, you know, when you talk about

the stock market, you generally think about rich white people. But right now we're on Zoom. If you had bought one share of Zoom stock in February, you'd have paid $70 for it. Today, Zoom is worth $261 per share, which means that some of our brunch money and some of our social money and some of our going out money, if it had been aimed at Zoom stock, we would have increased our wealth by four times. And so I think during pandemic, it gives us a perfect time to really assess our finances, to really identify where our money goes. You know, I used to say to my dad, dad, I don't know where my money goes. And he'd say back to me, it doesn't leave home while you're sleeping. I mean, your money goes where you take it. And before we can increase our wealth,

what we have to do is to assess where our money is currently going. If I'm paying $185 a month for premium cable, but only watch Bravo and BET, then I need to really switch from premium cable to basic cable and do something concrete with the money that I save. So, DJ, it's that kind of focus and common sense. Everybody can do it strategy that the D3 Global Foundation teaches. We have more with Pastor Soares when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. P.J. Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Pastor Soares.

Yee? We have a whole conference, a virtual conference that you're leading up that's happening this weekend, July 24th to the 25th. So let's talk about that from crisis to clarity. Yeah. You know, again, as an old time social activist, I'm inspired by the 2000 cities that saw protests over the last three months in response to George Floyd. I'm optimistic about police reform. I love what guys like Sean King are doing. You know, I talked to him on Saturday. He's working on replacing 23,000 district attorneys around the country. I mean, that's great stuff. But at the end of the day, we don't want people to be woke and broke.

And so this Friday and Saturday, we are pausing to celebrate the 15 years that we've been trying to help our people from the bottom up in churches and neighborhoods and youth groups understand that we need a financial strategy. And we've got speakers. Ms. Angela Yee is one of our speakers because she's been a part of our movement. She came to my church for one of our conferences. And I didn't even know who she was because, you know, I'm old. I watch Good Morning America, but our young people listen to The Breakfast Club. And the place was packed with young people listening to her talk about her entrepreneurial dreams, her home ownership. And so she's one of our speakers this weekend.

We have a young guy, Tarek Brooks, who now runs Sean Combs Enterprises. I met Tarek when he worked for Bob Johnson. Tarek is the only young person who has worked for two black billionaires during his career. And he's going to talk about how he got started, what he did with Mr. Johnson, and what he's doing with Mr. Combs. We've got a young woman named Shanae Harris, who is the president of the Prudential Foundation. So we've got great speakers and panels to talk about what we have done and where we are planning to go. And I got to bring this up, right? When you actually had the sit down with Don Imus and the Rutgers women's basketball team, when Don Imus said those comments and called them nappy headed, you know, I don't even want to say

it again because I hate that. So anyway, I just want to know what your thoughts are on engaging with people, because right now there's a lot of things that are happening. A lot of people saying, you know, a lot of white people that we've been seeing online that have been going viral, saying awful things to black people. And I just want to know, as far as engaging when these things happen, what are your thoughts on how people should handle that? Well, I think we should be upfront and direct. When Don Imus was on the radio and he maligned the integrity and the image of those young women who play basketball at Rutgers, who, by the way, happened to attend my church, I called him directly and said, why did you do it? I met with him to explain to him that just because he hears black people using that language with

other black people, that it is not the same dynamic as him being on national radio using that language to denigrate those women because what is a term of endearment for one group is a term of disgrace and embarrassment used by somebody else. And what we did was we arranged a meeting between Don Imus and the Rutgers women's basketball team and we insisted that he sit and listen to them explain to him why they were so offended, the impact of his words on their lives. And he apologized. They accepted the apology, and they moved on and finished their academic year. But I just don't believe we should sit back and suck it up all the time.

You know, black people, I think in the last couple of months, have risen above the suck up and white people need to understand that all black people are trained from our childhood to choose our battles, to kind of suck it up. And every generation has decided to suck up less than the last generation. You know, when I was a child, I watched Tarzan on TV and we just kind of sucked it up. We don't tolerate Tarzan images anymore and we can't tolerate people denigrating us and offending us with impunity.

And that's why I confronted Don Imus. Absolutely. Well, tell them about our conference one more time that you guys are doing so people can get in touch, they can check it out and they can be a part of it. The site where you can register

is mydfree.org, and it's free. We've got speakers. We've got information. We have resources. It's Friday from 11 to 5, and it's Saturday from 11 to 5. And it's a time to interact with information. Of course, because it's virtual, it means that you can go back and you can access information.

One of the downsides of virtuality is that we can't connect and hug and slap each other a high five. But the good news about the virtual is that our content remains alive for as long as it's available. And so we're very excited about it. I'm grateful to what the Breakfast Club does.

Angela has been our strongest link. But, you know, you not only deal with gossip, but you deal with gospel. You not only focus on entertainment, but edutainment. And it's because of resources like these that we're able to spread the word, empower our people, and uplift a generation. Despite all of the onslaught of hatred and barriers, our history and our heritage is such that we've always managed to do things for ourselves when others were opposed to us. And so thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for the support and for the work that you do. Well, thank you, Reverend. We appreciate you for checking in and good luck this

weekend on the conference. Thank you, Pastor Sauris. God bless. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Logic. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Yeah, so Logic put out his album, No Pressure, and I saw that the song Soul Food 2 has been trending since yesterday. So here's a part of that for you. Another hit, I can feel my body bruising. What's the conclusion? Or rather, my hypothesis? I'm darker than Gotham.

It's like reading Astrodomus at 90 degrees. You better believe I know how to turn a prophet with ease. Let me tell you how old I am. I thought that there was an actual Soul Food 2 movie coming out, like with Big Mama and all of them. I had no idea they had anything to do with all of them. I ain't gonna front. I thought the same thing.

You didn't know why that was trending? No, I meant to click on it all morning, but I really thought it had to do with Big Mama and them. I didn't know it had nothing to do with no damn Logic. All right, well, yeah. Why is it called Soul Food? Logic Fool, look, it ain't got no seasoning on it. Why is it called Soul Food?

Anyway, the first installment was, I think, back in 2014, but I saw a lot of people talking about this new album and saying it's better than his last two albums and they love it, so maybe something to consider listening to. Spook the Logic. Dan, our producer, is a Logic fan.

He was in there complaining about something this morning. What was he complaining about? I don't know. Yeah, he was saying something about they were using the same beat

or something. I wasn't complaining about that. He was just pointing it out. He didn't sample it. It's his beat. He used the beat off Under Pressure

from his old album. What's wrong with that, though? I don't know. People are excited because people loved that album so much so they're excited to hear that He used the beat off Under Pressure from his old album. What's wrong with that though? I don't know. People are excited because people loved that album so much so they're excited to hear that that was the beat he picked. I agree. I think more hip hop artists need to do that. If it's a dope beat, everybody should do their

own versions to the song. Reggae artists do it all the time. What do they call it? A rhythm. A rhythm. That's right. I like rhythms. I like that. Pondologic. Pondologic. Pondologic. I like rhythms. Like, I like that. Pondologic. Pondologic. Pondologic. Oh, my goodness. I like rhythms. All right, now let's talk about the top 10 highest paid celebrities on Instagram.

Who do you think is the number one spot for that? Kylie Jenner. She's actually number two. Okay. Kim K. But she was formerly number one. Nope. Kim Kardashian is number four on the list.

Number one is Jess Hilarious. No, she is not. Okay, y'all don't know The Rock. DC Young Fly. The Rock is number one. The Rock. Dwayne Johnson. The Rock is number one.

Okay, who's number two? How much did The Rock get paid per post? They said that according to these numbers, he gets paid a million dollars per post. Wait a minute. When you say a million per post, you don't mean just random post, though. You mean like when he's advertising something? Yeah. Got you. So there you have it.

Yeah, that's amazing. Imagine that. A million dollars per post. Logic, have mercy. What a mess. Also in the top 10 list is Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift. Nicki Minaj is up there as well. What do they promote though? Let me go look at Beyonce's page.

I don't ever see Beyonce promoting random stuff. That's the thing I was wondering too because when they did this list, I'm like, well, I don't know. Beyonce does promotional posts, but maybe the way they look at it is, according to your numbers, how much you are supposed to get paid per post. I don't know. Oh, got you. Because I see, like, Beyonce posted the Black is King trailer. She posted

Black Parade. She posted Chloe and Holly. She posted Breonna Taylor. But those are all things that are personal to her, so I don't... And also, when you do these posts, you also just do what you want to do too, by the way, when you're at that stature, obviously you're not going to just be posting flat tummy tea or

something like that, you know? So let me tell you, if I was at that stature, I would be posting flat tummy tea. What's the other one? What's the, what do you call it?

A girdle? You have a waist trainer. Waist trainer. I mean, all that stuff. I'm not going to lie. I went to the Rock's page. The Rock's last two

posts are about some goddamn tequila. That's his tequila. That's his? Yes, that's his tequila. What's it called? It's called Taramana. Taramana? I love tequila. I'm a tequila drinker. I would love to try that reposado. Do they have Taramana

reposado? I'm sure. They always have an Añejo try that reposado. Do they have Terra Mana reposado? I'm sure. They always have an añejo, a reposado, extra añejo. All right. Now, here's another story. Now, this story made no sense to me because according to reports, right, they're saying that Eminem is stressed that Mariah Carey will discuss their sex life in a new book that she has coming out. She posted about her book.

She said, it took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments, the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams that contributed to the person I am today. Though there have been countless stories about me throughout my career and very public personal life, it's been impossible to communicate the complexities and depths of my experience in any single magazine article or a 10 minute television interview. And even then my words were filtered through someone else's lens, largely satisfying someone else's assignment to define me. So she's doing this memoir in her own words. She said it was incredibly hard, humbling and healing. She said, my sincere hope is that you are moved to

a new understanding, not only about me, but also about the resilience of the human spirit. Now, the reason this story doesn't make sense, right, that Eminem is stressed about what you might say about his, their sex life together because they had a personal relationship level is that Mariah says that they only met a handful of times and that it was strictly professional. So why would she write in her book then about their sex life? First of all, Eminem would be being a total hypocrite if he was ever upset about somebody writing anything about him.

That is true. That is facts. Eminem has written a lot of things about a lot of people, but there's no need to be stressed unless you're doing things in the bedroom you're not proud of. I mean, what's the worst Mariah can say? Em's terrible in bed. He got a low PPE. She put a knuckle in his butt. What's the worst that she could say? Em's terrible in bed. He got a little PPE. She put a knuckle in his butt. Like, what's the worst that she could say?

Like, none of that would hurt him. What if it's all three of those things? But no, the source says that they're... A triple entendre. Jesus Christ. He got a little PPE, terrible in bed, and I put my knuckles in his butt. Then I would be mad at Mariah for

shaming him. That's sex shaming. Yeah, but I would be a little nervous. If I was Eminem, I would be a little nervous of all those things. For what? Man, Eminem rapped about him and Dr. Dre having unprotected sex

this whole time. I've been lying my ass off, me and Dre been out the closet effing with hats off. And then Dre comes in with this suck it martial ad lib. Like, come on, that's Eminem. Nothing can hurt him.

No words can hurt him. And that's why I don't believe the story. They said that he stressed out that Mariah's going to say that he was bad in bed or a selfish lover because he's always been insecure about that. But Mariah says she never slept with him. So why would she even say that in her memoir?

Where you getting these sources? Cite your sources. Well, I saw this all day yesterday, but this is from the Jasmine brand. But I saw this on a lot of different sites also. Hey, I just want you all to know, too, that The Rock was advertising an ice cream called Salt and Salt. I seen that ice cream. That is, too. I don't know if that's his, but they gave him a million dollars if that's what it was.

I seen that ice cream post. He posts about this tequila a lot, but that makes sense because it's his. Okay, hold on now. Voss Water. He's got a Voss Water post. Millie. I'm not going to lie. The Rock kind of thot Water. He's got a Voss Water post. Millie. I'm not going to lie. The Rock kind of thotty.

He's advertising French toast. French toast too? He's like a flat tummy tea model. He advertises a lot of stuff. I didn't know. Voss Water. Listen, right now we all working from home. Yeah, we working from home.

You get French toast? I take it. I want some of that tequila. A little Terra Mana. I'm going to at a million dollars a portion. I'll take it. I want some of that tequila. Tara, Tara, Tara Mana. I'm going to go. I'm going to get some of that. I don't think they sell that in the store. And by the way, since you bought up ice cream, I just want to say,

I normally can't eat ice cream because of my lactose issues, but they do have this amazing dairy-free ice cream that I've been having that I just want to recommend to people. It's called Daiya, D-A-I-Y-A. It's dairy-free and all their products are, but I'm just putting it out there, not an ad or anything. It's just something I've been having that's amazing.
