The Breakfast Club - Oprah for President
Episode Date: January 8, 2018Monday 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.

Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.

No country willingly gives up their territory.

What is that?
Bullets.

Nothing.
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,
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Did you play?
I forgot to play.
All right.

Oh, you went to checkers this morning.
So I was right about at least you being fat.
Not good.
Not nice.
I'm not fat.
Checkers serve breakfast?

Yeah, checkers usually be open this time of morning,
but for some reason that was closed.
You think they...

No, they don't sell breakfast, but they...
Why would they be open?
Right, okay.

They usually do.
I went there one time, and it was open.
At 6 a.m.?

I'm not going to disclose that information.
Well, I just want you to know that it's a new year issue.

Yes, sir, it was, but we know where we're at.
We got to bundle up.
We know where we're at. It is what it is. We got to bundle up. We know where we're at.
It is what it is. We got to keep it pushing.
Why you calling, brother?
I'm making a key plan for me. A couple things
real quick. Give me 30 seconds. I just want to say
welcome back, Uncle Shala. We see that
it was your turn to spend some of that change
for change money. Now we're waiting on Miss Sheena
to get her share in.
I didn't get no change for change. I didn't even go anywhere.
Make it happen. And the second thing I wanted
to say was it's 2018,
but I haven't heard anybody that's on the platform
raise awareness about
the injustice these CHCs
been treating us for over 400 years.
And for those listeners who do not know what a CHC
is, I need Uncle Charlotte
or M-Easy to please tell us what a CHC is

Thank you so much. I love y'all.
Have a good one, Breakfast Club.
Oh, my goodness.
We back, baby.
Get it off your chest.

Good morning.
Let's go.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed.
Say it with your chest.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
He never even got to face it.
Oh, now we know the problem.
How long were y'all talking?
He got issues, all right?
He's a cancer, and I'm a Sagittarius.
I don't play that.
First of all, I'm a cancer.
My wife is a Sagittarius.
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,
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.
Hello, who's this?
What's up, Envy?
Hey, what's up, Trev?
Hey.
Hi, Trev.
Solomon.
Hey, sis.
What's happening?
Welcome back, my brother.
What's going on?
Thank you, brother.
Solomon, I'm going to let you know that you're not fat no more.
So when you do Instagram videos, you can take your shirt off when you're on vacation.
Oh, you want to see that, Trev?
No, no, no.
Wait, don't nobody want to see your shirt.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

It wasn't supposed to come out until tomorrow,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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
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
are definitely committing crimes
via social media.
Committing crimes
via social media
is one thing,
but what gangster
do you know
that actually goes
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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'
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
