The Breakfast Club - Oprah for President

Episode Date: January 8, 2018

Monday 1/8- After Oprah gave an amazing speech at the Golden Globes Awards last night, some are wondering if she's going to go into politics. So we opened up the phone lines and asked our listeners if... they think it is a good idea if Oprah should run for President. Also, after Kevin McCall threatened Chris Brown and even his daughter on social media over the weekend, we opened up the phone lines to see if our listeners thought he took it too far. Moreover, Charlamagne gave his first Donkey of the new year, and it went to H&M for being culturally clueless.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Starting point is 00:05:41 I'm not doing nothing Until I remember my password You know you've been Gone from work for so long I can't remember none of my passwords to get into my computer. Nothing.
Starting point is 00:05:47 My goodness. Jesus Christ. Let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Let's talk about Fire and Fury. As you guys know,
Starting point is 00:05:53 that book came out early on Friday. We'll give you some information on what's been going on since that book came out. All right. We'll get into all that
Starting point is 00:06:00 and more. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, let's get into some front page news. Now, if you watch NFL, if you watch football, Charlamagne, do you?
Starting point is 00:06:07 No. Actually, I don't. I haven't watched all year. I've taken a knee. I'm standing with Cap. Almost forgot what the hashtag was, by the way. I'm standing with Cap. Well, Tennessee beat Kansas City yesterday.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Atlanta Falcons beat the LA Rams. Jacksonville Jaguars beat Buffalo Bills. The New Orleans Saints beat the Carolina Panthers. I heard it's the playoffs though. It is the playoffs. Now behind the scenes you came in here really excited about the Titans coming back. Well you know what it was? They were down I think like 21-3 and I
Starting point is 00:06:33 turned the game off and they came back and won. Oh so you are watching football. Yeah that's what I was trying to say. I browse. Oh. I browse. Every once in a while I just see what's going on see if they're taking knees or what's going on. I am happy for the Jaguars though. You know because I only know one Jacksonville Jaguar fan, and that's my guy, Little Duval. I don't know any other Jaguars fans.
Starting point is 00:06:51 I'm happy that they won a playoff game. This has to be the first time they've won a playoff game ever. Right. Is it? I don't know. I've never seen them in the playoffs. But Alabama plays Georgia tonight for the national championship in college. That you can watch with no guilt.
Starting point is 00:07:03 Mm-hmm. Now, let's talk about, well, you want to start Donald Trump? Yeah, I mean, the Fire and Fury publisher is now rushing to print more books. That's Michael Wolff's book, Fire and Fury, inside the Trump White House. And there's been a lot of controversy. Obviously, Donald Trump is saying this is all fake news.
Starting point is 00:07:18 But I guess all that controversy has made that book number one. It's been number one on Amazon's bestsellers list since Wednesday. That's when the first excerpts from the book, and we talked about that here on The Breakfast Club, were first listed and published online. So that e-book, of course, is available, but it's damn near impossible right now to get a hardcover copy of the book. Amazon is saying that there's a two-to-four-week wait, although they could ship those out sooner if the printing schedule allows it. I know at Barnes & Noble, there was some issues with shipping,
Starting point is 00:07:44 so people were disappointed when they went in there to try to get the book on Friday, and they printing schedule allows it. I know at Barnes & Noble, there was some issues with shipping, so people were disappointed when they went in there to try to get the book on Friday and they couldn't get it. The book wasn't supposed to even be on sale until tomorrow, but because, you know, Donald Trump was trying to do the cease and desist and all of that, they rushed to put it out on Friday. Now, one person who's had some fallout is former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon. Now, he said he regretted not responding sooner to comments that he made that were critical
Starting point is 00:08:06 of Donald Trump Jr. in that book. He said, Donald Trump Jr. is both a patriot and a good man. This is his statement now. He has been relentless in his advocacy for his father and the agenda that has helped turn our country around. I regret that my delay in responding to the inaccurate reporting regarding
Starting point is 00:08:21 Donald Jr. has diverted attention from the president's historical accomplishments. So all kinds of fallout. Here is some more fallout. Donald Trump, by the way, has said that he's a very stable genius and he's been calling Steve Bannon sloppy Steve. He tweeted out, actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being like really smart.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and as everyone knows, went down in flames. Here's what else he had to say about like really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and as everyone knows went down in flames. Here's what else he had to say about being really smart. I went to the best colleges or college. I had a situation where I was a very excellent student, came out, made billions and billions of dollars, became one of the top business people, went to television and for 10 years was a tremendous success, as you probably have heard, ran for president one time and won. And then I hear this guy that does not know me, by the way, did not interview me for three hours in the White House. But I don't know this man. What the hell is that?
Starting point is 00:09:18 Sloppy Steve brought him into the White House quite a bit. I don't have any idea what's going on right now. OK, but I do know that we gotta stop saying Oprah 2020 because of Donald Trump. If that's the reason you're saying Oprah 2020, then the bar is very, very, very low. Okay? And I do remember Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:09:35 running for president before. That is one lie I heard in what he said just now. Didn't he run for president before? I think he did before as well. What does he mean he only ran once and got it on the first try? That's not accurate. I'm sure 90%... You could get your hands on that book, though. I'm not interested in reading it. I sent you guys the book. I don't know if you sent it.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Oh, yeah, she sent it to me, too. The Fire and Fury? Yeah. I might read it if it's just laying around somewhere. All I can say is for the past couple weeks, man, being on vacation, I have not heard the words Trump. I have not heard the words Trump administration. I have not thought about it, and my life has been better for it.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Welcome back to reality. Exactly. Just now, my energy level just went way down just hearing him speak. Well, by the way, there was one winning ticket for the $570 million Powerball jackpot, and that was sold in New Hampshire. New Hampshire. Somebody made some money. I think $352 million they get after taxes.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Well, I guarantee you they're 97 years old. It never fails. It's always a 97-year-old white woman, and they're going to die in a few years. The day before that, there was another single ticket that was sold in Florida, and that was a $450 million Mega Millions grand prize. That's a lot of bread. Well, congratulations to that. I thought you was going to play.

Starting point is 00:13:45 So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Erica Merrilis calling from Green Acres Mall Security doing a double 16-hour tip. Green Acres Mall, Valley Stream, Long Island. Look at you, wrecking her. Yes, ow. They said that mall looks nice now. When I was a kid, that was the hood mall.
Starting point is 00:14:04 I know. It's nice. Everything upgraded. I was a kid, that was the hood mall. I know. It's nice. Everything upgraded. I was like, yes, Century 21 is there. I'm there every day. Oh, that's my spot. All right. Well, get it off your chest, mama.
Starting point is 00:14:13 Okay. Well, I'm basically blessed and mad at the same time because I'm blessed because I have an awesome job and I'm getting money. So that's always a blessing. Get that money. Yes. And I'm mad because I almost got the man that I wanted. I mean, he was making mad money at the airport, American Airlines.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Uh-huh. And we both basically got disconnected. And I'm still blessed because I'm very independent. Wait, what happened? You got disconnected? He was the man of your dreams, but you just let him go? Yeah, yeah. We stopped talking because I'm very, like, you know, independent.
Starting point is 00:14:50 And I guess men get offended. Men get offended by independent women? Who told you that lie, boo-boo? I don't know. I got everything on my own, so. Why couldn't it be that your box might have been trashed? Oh, nah. I'm sure her box was trashed.

Starting point is 00:15:17 What are you saying? Oh, okay. See what I'm saying? I'm going to be honest with you, boo. It has nothing to do with astrological signs. It's probably just you. You need to call him today. And also, I just want to say there's nothing wrong with making a man feel like you need him,
Starting point is 00:15:29 even if it's just emotionally, just like you want to be there for him when he needs you as a shoulder to lean on. That doesn't mean that you're weak or anything. I know. I've told him that, but like I said, cancer's got issues. Could you stop saying that, please? My goodness. There's a cancer right here. She might be right. Hello, who's this? What's up, Henry? Hey, what's up, please? My goodness. I'm a cancer. There's a cancer right here. She might be right.

Starting point is 00:16:07 I'm just saying. I've never been fat, sir. Just want to throw that out there. You got a boot trap. You better stop. But I want to let y'all know I'm calling because I'm blessed. And I just want to talk about Oprah Winfrey's speech. And it was so inspiring.
Starting point is 00:16:19 And she is so amazing. And I'm glad she said what she said about the whole Me Too thing. Charlamagne, did some lady kind of like try you up on your career path up? Did some? Oh, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Expose her, Charlamagne. We're not letting that slide of 2018.
Starting point is 00:16:35 What's her name? I could start the Me Three movement if I wanted to. Me Three. It was stupid. Thank you, Trav. Me Three movement, Charlamagne. All right, y'all have a good day. All right, Trav, you too.
Starting point is 00:16:48 All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, you can hit us at any time. We got rumors on the way? Well, I'm glad Trav brought it up because we are going to talk about Oprah Winfrey's speech last night at the Golden Globe Awards. So I know y'all going to love that. Great speech, but everybody needs to simmer down with the 2020 Oprah for president talks. That would be lovely.
Starting point is 00:17:06 No, it wouldn't. Stop it. We'll get into it when we come back. Keep it locked. 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. Good morning. What's happening? Good morning. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Oprah.
Starting point is 00:17:24 Listen up. It's just the end morning. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Oprah. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, at the 75th Golden Globe Awards last night, there were a lot of firsts. Oprah was the first black woman to win the Cecil B. DeMille Award for her lifetime achievement. And she gave a speech that everybody is talking about today.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Here's part of that speech for you. Speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have. And I'm especially proud and inspired by all the women who have felt strong enough to speak up and share their personal stories. Each of us in this room are celebrated because of the stories that we tell. And this year, we became the story. But it's not just a story affecting the entertainment industry. It's one that transcends any culture, geography, race, religion, politics, or workplace.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Amazing speech. I was sitting there with my 10-year-old niece and 9-year-old daughter watching that. I felt like a collection plate needed to be passed around after hearing her speak. Now, Oprah Winfrey also talked about Recy Taylor. She's a civil rights figure who was abducted and raped by six white men in Alabama back in 1944. She just passed away in December. She was 97 years old. And she talked about the Me Too movement and the Time's Up.
Starting point is 00:18:47 That was the theme for last night. You saw a lot of women were wearing all black. A lot of men were wearing the Time's Up pin to help commemorate the theme for the evening. And Time's Up is more than just, you know, wearing all black. But it also was a protest. And they were already also raising money. They raised more than 15 million dollars. And the goal of that is a defense fund for victims of sexual misconduct in the workplace.
Starting point is 00:19:11 All right. Here's some more of Oprah from last night. So I want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon. And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women and some pretty phenomenal men fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say me too again. I know one thing. When Oprah said time's up, it felt like when I was a kid and my father would yell for me to come here. And at first you shook because you're not sure if you did nothing or not,
Starting point is 00:19:55 but then you realize you're good because you didn't do nothing. Right. That's how I felt. Now, some of the first last night were for Aziz Ansari. He was the first Asian-American actor to win for best leading performance in a TV comedy from Master of None, which he's a co-creator for also. And Sterling K. Brown, he picked up his award for his role in This Is Us. He's the first black actor to win a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a TV Drama.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Now check out his speech. Throughout the majority of my career, I've benefited from colorblind casting, which means, you know, like, hey, let's throw a brother in this role, right? But Dan Fogelman, you wrote a role for a black man that could only be played by a black man. And so what I appreciate so much about this thing is that I'm being seen for who I am and being appreciated for who I am. And it makes it that much more difficult to dismiss me
Starting point is 00:20:40 or dismiss anybody who looks like me. So thank you, Dan. Thank you, Hollywood Film Press. Peace. I'm not thanking the white man for finally waking up. I'm thanking the white man for finally doing what he should have been doing all of these years, which is writing diverse roles.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Not doing that. Knock it off. Well, Sterling K. Brown can say whatever he wants in his speech. You know, he was adopted by a white family also. He talked about feeling like he wasn't really part of the family. Yeah. All right. Well, just just a weird feeling of being a black man adopted by a white family. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee. And that is your rumor report.
Starting point is 00:21:14 All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. When we come back, we got front page news. We'll tell you about your president, Donald Trump. So keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Now, sports, if you watch NFL.
Starting point is 00:21:31 You wasn't standing with Cap all season? If he wasn't standing with Cap all season. Now, hold on. By the way, if you have not, if you've been boycotting the NFL all season, does the playoffs count too? Or do you have to call another boycott for the playoffs? Now, you got to do the whole thing. Playoffs, Super Bowl, and everything.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Okay. All right. Now, let's talk about the playoffs? No, you got to do the whole thing. Playoffs, Super Bowl, and everything. Okay. All right. Now, let's talk about the playoffs. Tennessee Titans beat Kansas City. Atlanta Falcons beat the Rams. Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Buffalo Bills. And the Saints beat the Panthers. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Now, also tonight, in college, Alabama plays Georgia for the national championship. All right. Now, let's talk about your president. All right. Well, Michael Wolff's new book, Fire and Fury, inside the Trump White House, is causing all kinds of fire and fury for the White House. Now, it's been number one on Amazon's bestsellers list. It wasn't supposed to come out until tomorrow,
Starting point is 00:22:13 but the publisher rushed it out on Friday just because Donald Trump was trying to do a whole cease and desist. But once those excerpts actually leaked last week, that's when that book shot to number one on the bestsellers list. Now, one person who's been getting hell is Steve Bannon. He did an interview, and he talked about Donald Trump Jr.
Starting point is 00:22:31 He said the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Trump campaign officials, including Trump Jr. and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and a Russian lawyer purportedly offering damaging information about Hillary Clinton was treasonous. And he also has some statements that were very denigrating to the president.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Now, since then, Steve Bannon has said that Donald Trump Jr. is both a patriot and a good man. And he went on to talk about the president and call him a friend and a great man, so on and so forth. So he's definitely moonwalking out of the statements that he made in the book. Now, who is the person that's doing this money grab with this book? Because it hasn't even been a year yet. Has it been a year since Donald Trump's been in the White House? Has it? Okay, it's been a year. It's been just a year. Like, why wouldn't you wait until the term
Starting point is 00:23:14 was over to drop this fire and fury? There's a lot going on. There's other books out, too, by the way, about his presidency. So why not? Because it's actually, he did over 200 interviews. So he talked to people that formerly worked with the president, people who work for him now, and really sat down and went
Starting point is 00:23:30 into the White House and got these. So why not release that information? Because things could change in the next year or so. And then he'll write another book. He'll drop another book. Exactly. Now, according to Donald Trump, he went on Twitter and said, actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard. And
Starting point is 00:23:48 as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from very successful businessman to top TV star to president of the United States on my first try. Here's what else he had to say, clarifying those statements. I went to the best colleges or college. I had a situation where I was a very excellent student, came out, made billions and billions of dollars, became one of the top business people, went to television and for 10 years was a tremendous success, as you probably have heard, ran for president one time and won. And then I hear this guy that does not know me, by the way, did not interview me for three hours in the White House. But I don't know this man.
Starting point is 00:24:25 I guess Sloppy Steve brought him into the White House quite a bit. All right. That was a shot at Steve Bannon, of course, as you know. So, you know, I'm going to check out that book. I can't wait to read it because I was reading the excerpts last week. Pretty interesting stuff. And it's not just about his time in the White House. It's like before the White House also.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Now, here's another crazy story. A police chief was arrested in an undercover child sex sting. What happened was there was an ad Dominant male police officer seeks fund discreet sub-playmate. That's what he posted. And that's when a... He ran an ad? Yeah. What? How crazy is that? The police officer,
Starting point is 00:25:00 the police chief, actually got a response from a girl who was supposed to be a 14-year-old girl, and that age didn't bother him. He actually responded, everyone has to have a first time. You would just have to get me naked tomorrow. It was Michael William Diebold. He was a police chief in Leachburg, Pennsylvania. What would make him think it's okay to run an ad?
Starting point is 00:25:18 I don't know. In response to a girl who said she was 14 years old. That sounds crazy. Of course, a special agent for the State Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigations. So he did go try to meet with the fictional girl. Instead, he was met by fellow law enforcement officers. He was arrested. He faces several charges, including unlawful contact
Starting point is 00:25:34 with a minor related to sexual offenses. I'm going back on vacation. I'm not ready for all this. Can't go back. How stupid are you? You put out an ad saying that you're a male police officer. Between Donald Trump and that guy right there, I'm not ready to be back yet. I need a little more time to ease back in.
Starting point is 00:25:50 All right. All right. Well, that's front page news. Now, when we come back, a lot of people have been talking on social media last night. 800-585-1050. A lot of y'all was being ridiculous last night on social media. Should Oprah run for president? Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Listen, you know I'm a pinkie. Hey, hey, hey. We'll talk about it when we come back. we'll talk about it when we come back. We'll talk about it when we come back. 800-585-1051. Should Oprah Winfrey run for president? That is the question. Stop it.
Starting point is 00:26:13 We'll talk about it when we come back. We'll take your calls. 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.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking Oprah Winfrey. Last night, she gave an amazing speech. Amazing, incredible. So I want all the girls watching here now to know that a new day is on the horizon. And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women and some pretty phenomenal men fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders
Starting point is 00:26:58 who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say, me too too again. Now, because of that speech, a lot of people think that Oprah should run for president. And we're taking your calls and we want to hear from you. 800-585-1051. What do you guys think? I personally would love to have Oprah Winfrey be our president of the United States. Personally, I think it would be incredible.
Starting point is 00:27:20 I think given everything that's been going on in our country, seeing how men have been messing things up, and you know, I think before Barack Obama, she wasn't that into politics, but then when she put her stamp on him and decided to help him run for president, and then she put her stamp on Hillary Clinton, she has been a lot more involved in politics,
Starting point is 00:27:37 and, you know, I think she constitutionally can do it. I mean, she's a U.S.-born, I mean, a, um, yeah, U.S.-born citizen. Apparently, there's not, like, much qualification. And that's the problem. After you see Donald mean, she's a U.S. born. I mean, yeah, a U.S. born citizen. Apparently, there's not like much qualification. And that's the problem. After you see Donald Trump, there's not much qualification. I don't like the Oprah for 2020 talks because it's an insult to the greatness of God's only begotten daughter, Oprah Winfrey. Look where we are now.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Because you are only saying she should be president because the current bar for president is so low. And if you think Oprah can be president simply because Donald Trump is president, you're right. But you're looking at this all wrong. I've said it once and I'll say it again. Donald Trump is the greatest case for optimism ever when it comes to being president of the United States of America because he's a man with zero qualifications. He has no manners whatsoever. But I don't know
Starting point is 00:28:16 if you all have noticed, it's been a total disaster thus far. We don't need another celebrity in chief in the White House. We need somebody with some political experience to be the leader of the free world. Trump is just dumb. He's stupid. He has no qualification when it comes to that.
Starting point is 00:28:27 But we don't know if Oprah Winfrey does. Like you said, she's been dibbling and dabbling in politics. What do you mean we don't know if Oprah Winfrey does?
Starting point is 00:28:31 She's never done any politics. She's never been a political figure anywhere. What do you mean we don't know if she has qualifications? Okay, but she's been dibbling and dabbling in politics.
Starting point is 00:28:38 But I will say... But Trump is just stupid. What do you mean he's been dibbling and dabbling? Interviewing him? Well, I can run then. We've interviewed presidential candidates.
Starting point is 00:28:43 Hold on, hold on. You have a felony. You can't be it. No, please. But Donald Trump is just stupid. Can we agree on that? He just does. But a lot of people like Donald Trump because they felt like he was a businessman.
Starting point is 00:28:52 He was a moabite. But not only that, Oprah has no connection. She doesn't need any support from any groups, the gun groups, to this group, to that group. Donald shouldn't be the bar is what I'm trying to tell y'all. The bar for president is too low. It is very low. If we were talking about Oprah being president after Barack, cool. If we were talking about Oprah being president even after George Bush, cool. But not after Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:29:12 The bar is too low. That's the only reason we think that she could do it. NB, you're a New York Knicks fan. Correct. If they were to announce tomorrow Oprah Winfrey was going to be the coach of the New York Knicks, you would be calling for James Dolan to step down as owner of the Knicks. We don't know how nice Oprah is. Oprah might know basketball really good.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Shut up. We don't know how nice Oprah is. Oprah might be watching games and be like, you know, the Sunday quarterback at home. Yeah, no doubt. By the way, New York Knicks fans, the same people who booed and said Phil Jackson should be fired when Porzingis was drafted
Starting point is 00:29:41 are going to be willing to have Oprah Winfrey as the coach of the Knicks. Shut your hypocritical asses up. She has no experience. She's never coached before, but you have no problem with her being president. That's ridiculous. She might have a wicked jump shot. This is America, man. The presidency of the United States is not a popularity contest. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:29:57 Hey, my name is Keziah. Keziah, K-E-Z-I-A-H. Alright, I'll let you say it. Now, should Oprah run for president? Okay, so I think that the thought is not, I don't think that there's a problem with her. It would be all right for a female of color, Oprah, being, isn't she the most female?
Starting point is 00:30:18 What are you talking about? I can't hear you. And by the way, if you want a woman of color to run for president, look no further than Kamala Harris. I keep trying to tell y'all that. Nigel. Yes. Should to run for president, look no further than Kamala Harris. I keep trying to tell you all that. Nigel. Yes. Should Oprah run for president?
Starting point is 00:30:28 No, I say she shouldn't. Why? My biggest reason, man, like I said, I just wish the world would wake up, man. It's going to be another Obama now, another black person to point the finger at. I mean, if people don't realize that you're running for president, you still don't run this world. You don't control it. It's that higher money for president, you still don't run this world. You don't control it. It's that high of money, man, them euros.
Starting point is 00:30:48 It's those people that's higher up. Hey, Oprah got money. Hey, Oprah got money. Yeah, she got money, and her money ain't helping. It ain't gonna help do no difference for all that Jay-Z can run. If you want to say that, you know, money, yeah, she might be up there
Starting point is 00:31:04 on that ladder with them, but they't think Jay-Z's eligible. They're not going to let her do anything, man. She might as well stick to making her Michelin at dinners and stuff that she's doing. Leave it alone. I would have loved to have seen Michelle in there. Michelle, I mean, no, she still
Starting point is 00:31:20 wouldn't have made no difference, but she's a strong voice. You're not making no sense. Oprah's a strong voice, too. You're not making no sense. Oprah's a strong voice, too. You're not making no sense, bro. My goodness. 800-585-1051. Should Oprah run for president? Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:31:39 That was Post Malone with Rockstar. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. If you just joined us, we're talking Oprah. She gave an amazing speech last night. And we're asking, do you think she should run for president? Absolutely not, because it's an insult to the greatness of God's only begotten daughter,
Starting point is 00:31:57 Oprah Winfrey, because you're only saying she should be president because the current bar for president is so low. I think she could. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, MV? This is Marley D. What's going on? Marley D., what's up? We're talking Oprah.
Starting point is 00:32:08 You think Oprah should run for president? I definitely think she should run for president, man. I think it's time. I think it's two females that have an actual opportunity of winning, and that might be Michelle Obama and Oprah. At this point, if I can get the vote, definitely Beyonce, too, Charlamagne. I definitely think she should run for president. Stop, man.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Y'all got to stop this. Yeah, you took it too far. No, what you mean? You went too far with Trump. You're going too far with Oprah. We don't need more celebrity in chiefs. We need people who are actually qualified for the position of president of the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Stop it, man. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up, man? It's Donnie Blaze from Longtown, Massachusetts, man. What's going on, DJ? What's up? Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Happy New Year.
Starting point is 00:32:45 We're talking Oprah. Should Oprah run for president? I think Oprah should definitely run for president, man. Donald Trump did it, and look where he got his... Oh, my God! Then Trump shouldn't be the bar. Let me stop saying the N-word. Trump is not an N-word, right?
Starting point is 00:32:56 Trump should not be the bar. He's not. Yes, he is. N-word is an ignorant person. Hello, who's this? Hola. Hola, who's this? Can you hear me?
Starting point is 00:33:03 My name is Kazanian. All right, we can hear you now. Your phone sounds clear. All right, now we this? Hola. Hola, who's this? Can you hear me? My name is Kazanian. All right, we can hear you now. Your phone sounds clear. All right, now we're talking Oprah. Should she run for president? When I think about Oprah, it is not such a happy feeling because I haven't really followed her. So to say, I would rather Michelle Obama
Starting point is 00:33:18 being the first female of color president. Okay, so you would vote for Michelle Obama over Oprah. Oprah. So you got to answer the question, should Oprah run or not? Okay, now, well, I do believe she should run. Oh, you think she should run? I don't think she should, and I would vote for her. Okay. Thank you, mama. Okay, there you go. Hello? Not knowing who she's running against. This is stupid.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Like, I'll just say, this is why Donald Trump's in the White House, because it's stupid people. Hello? Hey, how you doing? Hey, what's your name, bro? Jersey Joe. Hey, Jersey Joe. We're talking Oprah running for president. What do you think? I think Oprah, she's amazing, but she shouldn't run for president. I think, you know, we got too many people like, you know, Senator Cory Booker.
Starting point is 00:33:54 I mean, I go as far as saying Angela Rye before we talk about, you know, Oprah. You know what I mean? No, I don't want to see Angela in there either. Kamala Harris. No, of course. I'm just saying, I know we don't want to see Angela in there, but we're talking about Oprah Winfrey. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Man, I know we don't want to see Angela in there, but we're talking about Oprah Winfrey. She's good on TV.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Who's your favorite football team? Dallas Cowboys. Are we crazy? Alright. If Jerry Jones was to make Oprah Winfrey the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys tomorrow, I'd be calling for Jerry to step down. What's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is, if you think
Starting point is 00:34:23 Oprah can be president simply because Donald Trump is president, you're right, but you are looking at this all wrong, okay? You should not be saying Oprah can be president simply because the current bar for president is so low. We don't need more celebrity in chiefs. We need an actual commander in chiefs. I think Oprah could do anything. I think she could actually coach the Cleveland Browns as well.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Anybody can coach the Cleveland Browns. They're 0-16. Last year, they were 1-16. All right? All I got to do is win two games, and I've done a better job than the past two head coaches of the Cleveland Browns. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Well, we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, one of my favorite shows is coming back to television on March 1st. We'll tell you what that show is. Also, Kevin Gates, you know he's supposed to be getting out of jail this Wednesday, and we'll tell you what his plans are. All right. We'll get into all that when we come back.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Back to the work week. Yes, indeed.
Starting point is 00:35:14 Now let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Khloe Kardashian. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Angela Yee on Breakfast Club. Well, season two of Revenge Body and in the premiere episode, Khloe Kardashian talks about her family
Starting point is 00:35:35 letting her know that she needed to lose some weight. And here's the reason why. I'm a huge believer of it's not what you say, it's how you say it. Yeah. You know, for a long time, I was told, Khloe, you've got to lose weight because you're really hurting the brand or this or that. And I was like, okay.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Like, I understood that was coming from my management side of my family. Right. But it does hurt. What's the problem here? There's no problem. My mom and dad said the same thing when I gained a little extra pounds. They said you're hurting the brand? They said you're hurting the brand.
Starting point is 00:36:04 But it's like, you're looking kind of chubby there, boy. You need to lose some weight. I think it's the way that you said it, like she said, because it's not like we're concerned about you. Are you okay? It's you're hurting the brand. Well, you are hurting the brand. The brand is the Kardashians.
Starting point is 00:36:15 The Kardashians' life is their brand. Their last name is their brand. Their physical image is their brand. So, yes, you're hurting the brand. I think more of it is, are you going through anything? Are you okay? Are you healthy? I'm with you. Talk a little nicer. It's like you care about me brand. I think more of it is, are you going through anything? Are you okay? Are you healthy? I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Talk a little nicer. That's like you care about me and I'm not just some type of... If they tell Chloe she was hurting the brand, what was Rob doing then? Yeah. You know why they didn't care about Rob? Because he's a fat ass man. The women in that family are what keeps the mill going. I'm pretty sure they probably told Rob the same thing. Oh, please. I'm pretty sure
Starting point is 00:36:43 they're embarrassed about a lot of things that have happened with him. I'm sure they felt like him even having that baby with Black China was hurting the brand. It's all about the women and that brand's physical appearance that keep that brand going. So, yes, Chloe, you were hurting the brand. All right. Now, OJ Simpson is suing the Cosmopolitan. Chloe's daddy, allegedly. In Las Vegas.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Now, back in November, he got thrown out. They said that he was belligerent. He was drunk. He was disruptive. He was breaking glasses at the bar, but now, according to OJ Simpson's lawyer, they just didn't want him in there. They said that according to his parole officer, he took drug and alcohol tests. Those came back negative after the event. Now, he also says that police found OJ was not acting as the hotel staff alleged after reviewing surveillance
Starting point is 00:37:24 footage, and that ban has still stood. So they said he has been on perfect behavior since he's been on parole. According to O.J. Simpson's lawyer, he says that O.J. Simpson was simply having dinner with a friend and was completely surprised and confused by the cosmopolitan's harsh treatment of him. They said there was malice and racial prejudice at play as he was singled out amongst his non- African-American friends. Well, there's cameras everywhere in casinos, so I'm sure they could definitely see what exactly happened. Right, so I don't know if he
Starting point is 00:37:51 will see, but he's trying to get some money now out of this situation. Alright, now one of my favorite shows is coming back to television March 1st, and that show is Atlanta! So, as you guys know, by the way, congratulations to Donald Glover who had his second baby.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Congrats to him. His girlfriend, Michelle. Yeah, drop one of the clues bombs for Atlanta season two. Saw the commercial for that last night during the Golden Globes, actually. Yes, they have a trailer that's out right now and it's called Robin Season. So, the second season is titled Robin Season. When asked about that, they said people have
Starting point is 00:38:23 to get Christmas gifts, so it's a time where a robbery will go. You might get your package stolen from the front porch. They also said that the neighbor got their car stolen out of the driveway when they were shooting the second season. It's just a very tense and desperate time. So they're talking about a time in Atlanta right before Christmas and New Year's when there's an uptick in crime. So that's why it's called Robin Season.
Starting point is 00:38:42 They also said they were inspired by Tiny Toons Adventures, the animated comedy from the early 90s. Classic right there. He said, we talked a lot about how I spent my summer vacation by Tiny Toons. It was a show they all liked. They said it was kind of an inspiration for season two and it was the writer's favorite as kids.
Starting point is 00:38:59 So they said according to what they're planning to do for this new season, they're saying that you could basically watch them in installments. Even if you miss an episode, you'll still be able to follow because it's separate installments. But it's a lot better when you watch them all together, but you can enjoy them even if you miss one and go back and watch it. So I'm excited for season two, nonetheless, of Atlanta, Robin season. All right. And Kevin Gates, he's supposed to be getting out of jail on Wednesday. Now, according to his attorney, once he is released, he's planning to devote some time and resources to talking to troubled teens
Starting point is 00:39:31 and talking about anecdotes from his own life. He wants to make sure these kids don't have the same pitfalls that he did growing up. He's going to reach out to various organizations like the Boys and Girls Club and talk about some decisions that he made that he regrets. So there you have it. He served nine months out of a 30-month sentence, and he'll be released on parole. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Shut up, man. Yes. Who are you giving that donkey to? The donkey of the day is going to H&M. We need them to come to the front of the congregation.
Starting point is 00:40:00 First donkey of 2018. Did I say that right? First donkey of 2018. Yes. say that right? First donkey of 2018 Yes H&M Alright we'll do it when we come back Keep it locked It's the Breakfast Club
Starting point is 00:40:10 Good morning It's time for Donkey of the Day I'm a democrat So being donkey of the day Is a little bit of a mixed up So like a donkey Donkey of the day The Breakfast Club bitches is a little bit of a mixed question. So like a donkey. He hung. Donkey of the day.
Starting point is 00:40:28 The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years that donkey of the day is a new one. Good morning. Donkey of the day for Monday, January 8th goes to clothing giant H&M. First donkey of the day of 2018, okay? Let's start with that good hot button topic called racism.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Now, H&M is being accused of racism after featuring a photo of a young black boy wearing a coolest monkey in the jungle hoodie. A real black boy, too. I mean, a little chocolate tinder right now. Now, it's some culturally clueless people out there right now wondering
Starting point is 00:41:03 what's the problem. Well, monkey is a racial slur used towards black people, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, in fact, the full term, if I'm not mistaken, is porch monkey. All right, that term has been used by crack-ass crackers for years in order to degrade black people. Now, the hoodie is available at the store's United Kingdom page. If you're watching this on Revolt, I'm sure you can see it, a British-based organization advocating for more inclusion in the fashion industry called Models for Diversity was one of many groups questioning how the photo made it through marketing teams and out into the world.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Well, I'll tell you how. Because H&M, like many other corporations, many other corporate companies, are staffed with a bunch of culturally clueless people who have no idea what's going on outside of their own little bubbles. Do I think H&M was being purposely racist? No, I don't. But everyone in there is clearly so tone deaf that no one looked at the picture and said, you know, instead of having the young black man in a hoodie that says coolest monkey in the jungle,
Starting point is 00:41:58 let's put him in something else. In fact, on the website, it is the young black guy and the young white guy and the young white guy has on a hoodie that says, Mangrove Jungle Official Survival Expert. A simple switch of hoodies would have caused any controversy from erupting, but when you have culturally clueless people in these positions who don't
Starting point is 00:42:18 know how to have sympathy or empathy for anybody but people who look like them, they will miss things like this, okay? See, corporations have to stop talking about being more diverse and actually start being diverse. Either there were no black people in the room or they got to go along to get along black people in there who don't want to rock the boat
Starting point is 00:42:34 because they don't want to lose their position so they don't say anything. By the way, I hate you kind of Negroes, okay? By the way, you are more dangerous than the culturally clueless people working there because y'all know better and don't say anything, all right? Y'all know better and don't do better. Now, the image was seen by a blogger named Stephanie Yeboah.
Starting point is 00:42:50 She noticed it, took a screen capture of it, sent it out, and it went viral. One, two, three. H&M, do you realize how easy it was for her to spot that that image wasn't right, okay? Same way that young lady noticed how offensive it was immediately is the same way someone of the culture would have noticed that if you actually had someone of the culture working in your corporation. Now look, if you aren't going to do diversity hires, how about do focus blogs? Show people outside of these companies the images before you blast them to the world. Measure twice so you will only have to cut once, okay? Now H&&M has apologized, and they said the image has now been removed
Starting point is 00:43:26 from all H&M channels, and they apologized to anyone this may have offended. Do you accept their apology? Huh, Angelina? I don't know. That's a no. NB, do you accept your apology? No.
Starting point is 00:43:39 No, okay. Well, F their apology. It has to be more than that. Yeah, but once again, do I think H&M's intention was to be racist? No. But intention doesn't matter in this case. Impact does.
Starting point is 00:43:50 The impact has already been done. No need to discuss intention in this situation. Let's discuss the impact of not having a diverse room of people. Intention doesn't matter because all H&M did was further the marginalization and oppression of a community that historically has been marginalized and oppressed. H&M, I would tell you to do better, but the damage has already been done. Please give H&M the biggest e-hall, please. Intention does not always matter, okay?
Starting point is 00:44:20 Sometimes you just have to look at the impact of a situation. I wonder if his parents saw that and thought something was wrong with him. That's what I was thinking. He's what? Eight years old? He had to come to the shoot with his parents. His parents didn't see the shirt? Probably just his mom. If I had to take a wild guess at it. Why? It could have been his mom
Starting point is 00:44:38 and dad. That's messed up. Okay. Alright. Don't ask me for my opinion. You know what? Forget it. Well, thank you for that donkey. Maybe both his parents were there. I'm sure. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, let's talk Chris Brown and Kevin McCall.
Starting point is 00:44:53 It seems like they got into it over the weekend. Now, what happened? Give us the details. Well, Kevin McCall was in the hospital because he had a gunshot wound in his foot. Now, some people were trying to say- Somebody shot Kevin McCall? Yeah, I because he had a gunshot wound in his foot. Now, some people were trying to say. Somebody shot Kevin McCall? Yeah, I don't know what happened. There was a rumor that he accidentally shot himself in the foot.
Starting point is 00:45:09 And somebody asked him on Twitter. It says Kevin McCall was shot in the foot. And rumor is it was Chris Brown's goons. That was another thing. Another rumor that was going around that Chris Brown's goons shot him in the foot. Well, Kevin McCall responded. Chris Brown and his seed would be in a casket if he had anything to do with me being shot. Stop playing
Starting point is 00:45:28 with his seed. Jeesh. Talking about his daughter royalty. I'm going to be honest with you, Kevin McCall. Talking like that, you deserve to get shot again in the other foot. Stop playing with rumors. I can't promise CB will make 29. I kept him alive seven years now in L.A. Don't take the humbleness you see in me as weakness. Chris wouldn't have a head
Starting point is 00:45:43 to tattoo on Hold on, so you think that telling somebody that you'll take out him in his seat Basically you'll kill him in his seat You think that's not going to cause somebody to want to maybe do harm to you? You talking about Chris might not make it to 29 What makes you think that you might make it to whatever your age is about to be? Now mind you, all this Chris Brown had nothing to do with anything Somebody on Twitter just said
Starting point is 00:46:03 Rumor is that Chris Brown's goons had you shot. So. All right, well, let's open up the phone lines. Why would you even go that hard? I don't even understand what your point was. Now, if Chris Brown's goons did actually get him shot, I can see why he would say that. But why bring the kid into it? 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:46:21 Did Kevin McCall go too far? That is the question. And Charlamagne, since you said that, you know, the next tweet was, I don't see what I said wrong. The Bible says an eye for an eye. Chris didn't do it, so don't bring his name up in my life and death situation because you're playing with gossip, but L.A. ain't a game. So he just says Chris Brown didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I don't need it. I'm going back on vacation. All right. 885-105. Well, we're talking Kevin McCall. Was that foul for what he said? Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:46:46 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That was Notorious B.I.G. Mo' Money Mo' Problems. Morning, everybody. It's D.J. N.V. Angela Yee.
Starting point is 00:46:57 Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking Kevin McCall, him and Chris Brown. I didn't want to say got into a beef. It just... They didn't. Chris Brown didn't even say anything to him. I guess it was a one-way beef. Explain to the people what happened here. Well, Kevin McCall got
Starting point is 00:47:10 shot in the foot and somebody said on Twitter, Kevin McCall was shot in the foot and rumor is it was Chris Brown goons. Kevin McCall responded, Chris Brown and his team would be in a casket if he had anything to do with me being shot. And then a lot of people went in on him and they said, I don't see what I said wrong. The Bible says an eye for an eye. Chris didn't do it, so don't
Starting point is 00:47:26 bring his name up in my life and death situation because you're playing with gossip or L.A. ain't a game. Then he goes on to say it's what people have tried to do in the past. The person who shot even tried to kill him for $500 and I fought him for it. So if someone does kill me for what I said, again, it's going to harm a lot of people for a long time.
Starting point is 00:47:41 Don't try to make CB look gangster. Clown me and leave CB. I thought eye for an eye meant that whatever you do to me, I do back to you. And he's saying you didn't do nothing to him. But even if that was the case, if Chris Brown goons did have him shot, then you go get your goons to shoot Chris Brown. What his kid got to do with it? Yeah, what does his child have to do?
Starting point is 00:47:58 Once you start talking about somebody's kid like that, that's crazy. I mean, listen, was he wrong? Yeah, he was wrong. But there are some people out there like that who will take out your whole family if you do something wrong to them. And that's what I'm thinking. It depends how far it is. If I'm Kevin McCall, and I'm with my son, and I get
Starting point is 00:48:14 shot in the foot, and I'm with my son, then I'm like, I don't know if he was, but I don't know the situation. That's if I'm with my child. But if you just aim at me, then I gotta aim back at you. But here's my whole thing. You're saying that Chris Brown didn't even do anything. Why are you talking about him
Starting point is 00:48:27 and his daughter, period? I also feel like people that do stuff like that don't go on Twitter and talk about it. Hey, man, I know I got me a Krispy Kreme gift card, man, that I plan to use, okay?
Starting point is 00:48:35 Because this Negro nonsense is ridiculous, all right? I need something to lift my spirits up because I don't... I come back to people talking about shooting each other's kids.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Why don't they just have a nice little dance battle? Can we get a little step-off part two or something going on here? Can Kevin dance? I don't know if Kevin can dance. If y'all can't do a dance battle, do a sing off or something. What the hell's wrong with you two Negroes, man? I'm with you.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Why don't they just fist fight? Why don't Kev and Chris Brown just really have this fight? I don't think Chris Brown is trying to get any attention. They should just fist fight it out and keep it moving. But at this point, if they see each other and don't do nothing, then they both suckers to me, to be totally honest with you. I definitely think they will do something if they see each other. So hopefully they squash it out.
Starting point is 00:49:13 This feels just like Soulja Boy and Chris Brown at the top of last year. Could you squash it if somebody said that about you and your child? No. Okay. No, definitely not. Hello, who's this? This is Kadeem Kousar. Hey, what's up, bro?
Starting point is 00:49:24 We're talking Kevin McCall. You think it was foul for what he said? Yeah, I think it was completely foul because once you start putting people's kids into the situation, it causes a lot more static and miscommunication. That's the way you don't go. Okay, thank you. Yes, and if you don't know why you got shot in your foot this time,
Starting point is 00:49:40 that's not the kind of energy you want to put out in the world threatening to kill other people's kids, because you might get shot again somewhere else. Hello, who's this? This is Lisa. I don't think an empty threat can be foul. I don't know any gangsters who go on Twitter and talk about what they're gonna do. That's what I was saying.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Sis clearly shot herself in the foot to get attention. You mean Kevin. How old are you, baby? How old are you? I mean Sis. 27. I mean Sis. You mean Kevin. How old are you? How old are you, baby? How old are you? I mean sis. 27. I mean sis. He clearly shot himself
Starting point is 00:50:09 in the foot. She says she's only 27? 27, that's right. Let me tell you something about these... Now, I wouldn't know if I called these kids gangsters, but these people
Starting point is 00:50:16 are definitely committing crimes via social media. Committing crimes via social media is one thing, but what gangster do you know that actually goes
Starting point is 00:50:24 on Twitter and says, oh, I'll kill somebody? Hey, I've been watching people get shot on live streams. I don't know what you're talking about. You got that one. You got that one. These kids is crazy, ma. An empty threat. He clearly shot himself in the foot and then went on Twitter to talk about it so he could get attention.
Starting point is 00:50:42 I wouldn't consider it foul because it's an empty threat. All right. Well, thank you, mama. I wouldn't consider it foul because it's an empty threat. All right. Well, thank you, Mama. I don't consider no threat empty. All these threats is loaded. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:50:51 800-585-1051. We're talking Kevin McCall now. He said, explain to the people, Kevin McCall, he got shot in the foot over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:50:59 Right. He was posting stuff from inside the hospital and somebody said to him, Kevin McCall was shot in the foot and rumor is it was Chris Brown's goons. Well, Kevin McCall responded Chris Brown and his teeth would be in a casket if he had anything to do
Starting point is 00:51:12 with me being shot. I can't believe y'all not explaining who the hell Kevin McCall is. Well, he is Chris Brown's artist. No, he's not. He was Chris Brown's artist and he helped write Strip. Remember that joint back in the day? I just want to see your dick right now. Allegedly.
Starting point is 00:51:26 All right. What? Anyway, we'll take your calls when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Now, we're talking Kevin McCall. Now, you don't know he was Chris Brown's artist. He got shot over the weekend, and then he said what, Yee? Somebody said that Chris Brown's goons had him shot, and he responded Chris Brown and his seed would be in a casket if he had anything to do with me being shot. Listen, I know one thing. You keep talking about people's kids being killed,
Starting point is 00:51:53 you're probably going to get shot in the other foot. I know that much, all right? And number two, if you say eye for an eye, that means whatever happened to you, you should do to somebody else. Why are you bringing Chris's seed into it? That's eye for an eye and then ear for an ear. The crazy thing is Kevin McCall hit me about maybe about two weeks ago, right? Like physically? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:52:09 Called me up. He said he was coming to New York. And he said that he's starting fresh and more positive in the new year. He said there's a lot of kids watching me. I'm starting fresh. I don't know where it made a left turn or right turn. Wasn't he on Fix My Life too? Was he? Yeah, he was on Fix My Life. I don't know. What kids are watching Kevin McCall? But he didn't. I don't know. He said he changed. We keep watching Kevin McCall. But he did.
Starting point is 00:52:25 I don't know. On social media. That's why you got to have parental advisory stickers. Hello, who's this? Hey, y'all. It's Angie. Angie, what's up, mama?
Starting point is 00:52:33 Not too much. Just driving home from work. I love you guys. We love you right back. We're talking Kevin McCall. We love all Angie's. You think he went too far? I think that he's wet.
Starting point is 00:52:42 But I really think he's wet for a response to a tweet and then bringing a man's daughter into it, I really think he's completely lame for that. Yeah, totally uncalled for. Okay, thank you. And then we see all these cute pictures
Starting point is 00:52:55 of royalty over the weekend at the same time. It's like, why would you even do that? But by the way, there are people out there like that who will do harm to you and your family if they got a problem with you. I don't think Kevin McCall is one of those people. And if he is one of those people, he's a fool for announcing it on social media. Hello, who's this? This is Charmaine from Orlando, Florida. Hey, Charmaine.
Starting point is 00:53:12 We're talking Kevin McCall. You think you went too far? I love you guys. I absolutely love you guys. I listen to you every single morning. Thank you, mama. I think anybody that has watched Kevin McCall, he has slowly just burned all type of bridges. His baby mother can't stand him.
Starting point is 00:53:28 He hasn't seen his child. He has nothing to lose at this point. So him going after Chris Brown is just how mental he is. He just needs to find some type of spiritual help. Okay. Her phone is crazy. Spiritual help. You do realize God be ignoring some people, right?
Starting point is 00:53:42 God ain't think about Kevin McCall. Hello? What's popping? What's popping? What's good? What's up? God ain't think about Kevin McCall. Hello? What's popping? What's popping? What's good? What's up, man? We're talking Kevin McCall. What do you think about what he said?
Starting point is 00:53:51 Well, somebody need to finish the job on that little dude. Because he talking mad crazy. Well, we don't want to kill him. Wow. Jesus Christ. What's going on here? We don't want to kill him. Everybody wants to one-up people.
Starting point is 00:54:03 This is not a game of faith. Okay? Look, and I get a shout-out because my birthday is Sunday. How are we going to shout out your birthday after you just talked about killing somebody? But go ahead. Shout out your birthday. I mean, it is what it is. I'm going to be 26 on Sunday, so.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Okay. Happy birthday. Don't kill nobody, right? Happy birthday, sir. All right. Well, what's the moral of the story? Oh, my gosh. The moral of the story is you don't threaten people's kids.
Starting point is 00:54:25 Now, don't get me wrong. You can well what's the moral of the story? The moral of the story is you don't threaten people's kids. Now don't get me wrong, you can threaten people's kids, but just know that there will be consequences and repercussions whether they come from that person's parents or they just come from the universe. All comedy, there you go. That's it. Alright, well we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, find out what ball player's wife says she will never call herself an NBA wife. Also, 50 Cent is teaching
Starting point is 00:54:41 you how to beef. Alright, all that and more. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Have you ever read The World is Yours? On a blimp. No, I ain't never read The World is Yours on a blimp. I ain't seen a blimp in years. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:54:56 We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Ayesha Curry. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to Report. This is the Rumor Report.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Ayesha Curry has a lot going on in her life. She has her Food Network show, Ayesha's Home Kitchen. Okay. She also has opened her own flagship restaurant, International Smoke. She also is a face of comfort girl now, and she has a cookware line. So, she said she doesn't want to be known
Starting point is 00:55:25 as an NBA wife. She said, I don't think I'll ever call myself that. I mean, I don't think my husband would call himself chef's wife. Now, she said one thing that my mom always told me was to never lose yourself inside of your marriage. I'm happy that I've been able to find that so-called balance and be able to pursue my passions and take care of my family.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Well, the truth to the matter is Steph Curry is married to Ayesha Curry. Ayesha Curry is married to Steph Curry. Steph Curry plays in the NBA. Therefore, Ayesha Curry is married to an NBA player and Steph's married to a chef. What's the problem? I guess she doesn't want the label of just being called an NBA wife. She wants to be able to say she is Ayesha Curry.
Starting point is 00:55:58 She's an entrepreneur. She has her own restaurant. She's a face of cover girl. She's all that, but she's also an NBA wife. She's Steph Curry's wife. Well, if it makes you feel better, Aisha Curry, all the basketball wives aren't married to basketball players. Alright. So technically that title means nothing.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Alright, now 50 Cent was on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and he talked about beef. And he actually was giving him some advice about how he could start beefing to get that top slot. Check it out. Beef is not always a bad thing. You need to have, like, even, like, positive competition.
Starting point is 00:56:31 That's like, who's in your top slot? It's me, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Bobby Flay. I don't know. I don't want to beef. When they're really talented guys, you watch them, and you go, ****, Jimmy Kimmel. Especially, like, when you're number one in that time slot. You gotta do that because you gotta create... A lot of pressure. You gotta create competition so you, like, stay on your
Starting point is 00:56:50 game. That's right. Drop on the clues bombs for 50 cents. That's exactly how you stay sharp, goddammit. Alright? If you don't have no enemies, learn how to make some. All of y'all out here too comfortable. One thing I'm still beefing about is that Optimum has taken stars away from our cable channel lineup, and so now I'm not gonna be about is that Optumon has taken stars away from our cable channel lineup.
Starting point is 00:57:05 And so now I'm not going to be able to watch Power when it comes out unless I got to figure out, I guess you could pay for it directly and watch it through the... Well, cancel your cable service. You should tell them, cancel your cable service. Now I got to get a whole new service. I got the Stars app. I got the app. I got Hulu.
Starting point is 00:57:17 Oh, the Stars app. What do I got? I forgot what I got. I got all that. I got Hulu. I got the Stars app. I have Apple TV, but I think you still have to pay for Stars now that I don't have it. Boom.
Starting point is 00:57:26 I got Apple TV. You don't have it on Optimum anymore. So now to get the Stars app, it used to be free because you had the cable subscription. Right. You just got to pay for it. But now that they took it off the Optimum lineup, you have to pay separately. It's worth it. You know?
Starting point is 00:57:37 I just think Optimum should put Stars back. That's all. They should. Why would you get rid of it? There's a lot of channels on there, too. All right. And let's talk about your guy, Lenny Grant, a.k.a. Uncle Murder. Y'all started some beef up here.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Now, you know Uncle Murder does his wrap-up. But Skills actually started the wrap-up. And there's some back and forth between the two of them now. Now, Skills put out Murdergram last week where he went at Uncle Murder for coming at him on the wrap-up. Check it out. All right. We can do it together. I'm like Klump. You must be faded. Why the fuck would I collab on some shit that I created? Y'all jaded. All right. Now he goes on to say there's a lot of rappers that are better than Uncle Murder in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Here's what he said. This the future. Now who the fuck gets shot and make a tape called Respect the Shooter, huh? You an ad libber. That's all you do. I can name 20 Brooklyn rappers more relevant than you, so stop with us. I'll go with Kane, Big, and Jay, but that's obvious. Buckshot, Tekken, Steel, Rock and Rock, Most Def, Kweli, Master Ace, Fabulous, Foxy, Lil'
Starting point is 00:58:57 Kim and C's, Scott Zutore, oh, Joel Ortiz, I'm a Joey badass, S.A.Z., M.O.P. I told you shit. Now, when he said that line about 20 rappers more relevant than Uncle Murda, I was like, really? In Brooklyn? But then when he named them, I understood what he was saying. But that's not a bad list. No, no, that's not a bad list.
Starting point is 00:59:16 That's not a bad list to be 21st on. It was meant to be a diss. It wasn't really a diss. That just shows the greatness of Brooklyn, actually. All right. Well, he also did not think that Uncle Murder would respond, a.k.a. Lenny Green. He didn't think he would be responding to him at all. He actually called in to the Breakfast Club and said, you know, he's not going to respond.
Starting point is 00:59:36 And guess what he actually did. Now, the song is called Why You Mad. Right. Is this an exclusive? Because I haven't seen it anywhere yet. I think so. So Murder sent it to me last night. I believe it's an exclusive? Because I haven't seen it anywhere yet. I think so. Murder sent it to me last night. I believe it's an exclusive.
Starting point is 00:59:48 I knew Murder was going to respond. That's the Brooklyn in him. Yeah, actually, Skrill said you egged it on. I didn't egg it on. What did you say? No. What did you just say? Nobody said nothing about no enema.
Starting point is 00:59:57 What are you talking about? What did you just say? I said I knew Murder would respond. That didn't sound like what you said to me. I don't know what came out your mouth. What? You know, they say Brooklyn. What came out your butt. What? You know they say Brooklyn... What did he say during Meesee?
Starting point is 01:00:08 I knew he had it in him. Oh, I knew he had it in him. I was like, what? That even sounds weird. Y'all go too far all the time. I knew he was going to do that. I mean, he's from Brooklyn. Can we get back to the beginning? Brooklyn keeps on taking it. That's what they always say. Well, we have a snippet for you,
Starting point is 01:00:25 and then I think Envy's going to play the whole song, right? Yep. Okay, well, here's some of the Why You Mad. Hey, yo, Mad Skills, tell me why you mad, man. My thing is, like, like, there's been plenty of cats who try to do rap up, and that's cool, but nobody's ever been that disrespectful.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Like, and I'm like, bro. Brooklyn Ben take his. Poof. All right. Y'all can kiss my ass. Uncle Murda can rap, man. Yeah, I told you Uncle Murda can rap. Uncle Murda can rap. I'm going to play the full version. I'm going to start the mix over there.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Very entertaining. Skills can rap too, though. Skills can be. But I will say, if we're just talking about wrap-ups this year, I thought that Skills' wrap-up was better than Murders' this year. Think so?
Starting point is 01:01:29 Murders was good, but he just repeated a lot of the same things. Murders was long. Murders was about, what, six minutes long? I thought it was like, yeah, I thought it was long.
Starting point is 01:01:35 Seven minutes long points. But he repeated a lot of the same things. Like, Skills really focused on a lot of different things that happened this year. I did enjoy listening
Starting point is 01:01:43 to Uncle Murders, though. I laughed a lot when I was listening to it. But, yeah, so we're going to play that whole thing for you, Lenny Grant. And that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Shout out to Revolt. We'll see you guys tomorrow.
