The Breakfast Club - Pardon Sacrifices

Episode Date: January 20, 2021

Today on the show we opened up the phone lines to see if our listeners would take a picture with Donald Trump to be pardoned by him, after news broke about Lil Wayne and several others getting pardoned by Donald Trump. In addition speaking of pardons, someone who didnt get pardoned and instead got "Donkey of the Day" was Tiger King, Joe Exoctica for being super confident that Trump was going to pardon him and he did not. Also, Angela helped some listeners out during "Ask Yee" and even left a long voicemail to the listeners boyfriend to treat her with respect!

It's Wednesday. How do I usually say it? It's hump day? Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is.

Guess what day it is. Hump day. What's happening? Good morning. I reset. No, you don't sound better, but if you want to believe that, continue. Let me try again. All right.

Well, happy Wednesday. Happy hump day. That's right. Today's a big day. It's inauguration hump day. Yes. And it's very important to keep in mind

that today is inauguration day and not the day that Donald Trump leaves office. I mean, today is the day that Donald Trump leaves office, but media don't make it about Donald J. Trump. Okay, we have a new president

and Joe Biden, a historic first and a vice president, Kamala Harris.'t make it about Donald J. Trump, okay? We have a new president and Joe Biden, a historic first and a vice president, Kamala Harris. Today should be about them. Whatever has, whatever Trump has done, I will attempt to do today to keep the spotlight off of that. Remember, you don't have to give it to him, okay? Okay. Do I sound any

better, guys? Not really, but, you know. Goodness gracious. So you mean, do we want to talk about Trump this morning now? I mean... If he's done some stuff, he's done some stuff. He's pardoned a bunch of people. We got to talk about Donald Trump.

You can talk about the pardons, but don't make Donald Trump the A story. I'm watching New Day on CNN this morning. Literally all he was talking about is Trump. Don't make Trump the A story and the inauguration the B story. That's whack, and it feeds into exactly what gave Trump the power and scramble hold he has

on the media now. And media can't use the excuse that, well, he's the president, we have to report on the president. That don't apply anymore. So remember, whatever he does today to take attention from the inauguration, just know you don't have to give him that attention. Make him the C story, actually. Okay? That's all I'm saying.

Okay. Alright, well, let's get the show cracking. Okay? That's all I'm saying. Okay. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. What are we talking about, Yee? Besides Donald Trump. I guess we can also talk about Joe Biden. I guess we can also talk about Joe Biden. I guess we can talk about Joe Biden.

My point exactly. All right. Well, we'll do it when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy and Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front-page news. Where we start? Well, let's start with Donald Trump is leaving office and he gave his farewell speech. You want to hear what he said? Sure. As I conclude my term as the 45th president of the United States,

I stand before you truly proud of what we have achieved together. We did what we came here to do and so much more. This week we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping America safe and prosperous. We extend our best wishes, and we also want them to have luck. A very important word. Oh, God. Luck.

Once again, man, don't make this about Trump today. Let him be the C story. Inauguration, A story. Kamala being VP is the B story. C story should be Trump leaving. Okay, whatever Trump going to do today to take attention from the inauguration, just remember we don't have to give it to him.

But the media won't admit Trump fuels headlines. He's good for business. He moves the needle. News outlets won't know what to do over the next four years without that chaos. If y'all find a way to still make this about Trump, all you're doing is giving him more and more power, still allowing him to build up his base even more. Alright, well I also want to hear what Joe

Biden got a little choked up. I'm sure you guys saw his speech as he is preparing to leave Delaware. You know, Yuval, it's kind of emotional for me. Look. And I am even more proud to be standing here doing this from the major Beau Biden facility. Ladies and gentlemen, I only have one regret. He's not here because we should be introducing him as president.

But we have great opportunities. Delaware's taught us anything's possible. Anything's possible in this country. So God bless you all and may God protect our troops. Yeah, that's what it should be about today. He's just not as exciting as the one that's leaving. That's all. It's just that simple.

Well, if you want to watch the inauguration today, the swearing-in ceremony starts around 11.30 a.m. Eastern, and there's also performances Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Garth Brooks, who else, Justin Timberlake. They've also announced a special

Our White House, an inaugural celebration for Young Americans event that's going to run from 10 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. So don't forget about it. Don't forget about our dog, Aunt Clemence. Now drop on the clues bombs to Aunt Clemence. Drop to Aunt Clemence now. Only black people can perform. That's right.

Dog guy, Aunt Clemence. Big Aunt. Big Aunt. We see you, my brother. We see you, my brother. We see you, bro. Those people who are confirmed to appear during this livestream event, it's the first ever curated livestream for young Americans, include Kiki Palmer and Dr. Joe Biden. So, excited?

Big Ant! Ant, what's happening? Make sure you wear your beanie, Ant. Word, Ant. You make sure you wear your scully. Drop one of Clues Bomb for Ant Clemens, okay? That's right. We'll show him and Justin to perform that record they got together.

Maybe. Is it fitting for the moment? I don't know. I don't know. But Jersey, stand up, Ant. You sure you're from Jersey? Yes. Howard University and the University of Delaware Marching Bands are going to be the escorts

during the inauguration for Biden and Harris. As they should be. Obviously, Kamala is an alumnus of Howard University. Joe Biden is an alumnus of the University of Delaware. And as a meme I posted last night said, Joe, I don't care how much you hear, it's Kiwi or whatever the AKAs be doing, just don't do it back, okay?

If you hear somebody say H-U and then they respond, you know, when they do it again, I know it's tempting, but you don't let that you know fly fly Joe Biden, unless somebody gives you permission. He might let it fly today. And remember, they're saying, you know, not go Joe. They're saying, you know, all right, not go Joe. Okay. 12 Army National Guard members have been removed from inauguration day.

There's 25,000 altogether. So 12 people have been removed. Two of the individuals were flagged because of inappropriate comments and texts. The other 10 members were removed for questionable behavior found in the vetting process. Yeah, I don't know how anybody in Congress can trust anyone around

them after what happened at Capitol Hill on January 6th. Like, they better than me. Because if all the Congress people that I saw say that they were going to stay home today, I can totally understand why. Alright. Alright, well that is your front page news.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired?

My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. Bullets.

For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, good morning, man. Hey, thank y'all for having me. I just want to make a comment on the military, military personnel being in there and the white supremacy. They've been there for a very, very long time. I've been in the military 20 years. The good old boy system has been around a long time. It should have been addressed. I'm glad it's coming to the forefront. Even though all the violence I do not condone, it's something that all black people have to recognize now that it's coming to the forefront and we need to all address it. Thank you for the time. Shalimar, you my brother, man.

But let's be honest too, my brother, there's not a system in America that isn't rooted in white supremacy. So, you know, whether it's the military, the police force,

Yes, this is Nikki from New York, currently living in Texas. Oh, okay. That's why you don't know where you're going. That's why you don't know where you're going and you got your ways telling you. Yes, definitely. But I'm trying to get it off my chest because my deadbeat baby dad,

running around somewhere and taking care of his kids that he begs for. Got me working four jobs. One full time. Two part time. And I'm contracting with my own business now. Thank God. God is good. All the time. And he ain't paid

We don't have to have Trump anymore.

You know, just like, I don't know, man. I just feel like I'm in a daze. Well, I'm glad you feel that way, sir. That's what a good, that's what good leadership is supposed to do. Good leadership is supposed to make you feel better. But I hate to be the bearer of bad news and let y'all know that nothing is changing today. Everybody still got a whole lot of work to do. COVID's done killed over 400,000 people.

So many people out of work. Okay, the black community, you know, still is in shambles in a lot of different ways. You know, I was on a phone call yesterday from my folks in South Carolina just simply trying to get rural areas in South Carolina broadband. You know how many people just don't

simply have internet? And think about that at a time like this when kids gotta do schooling from home people just don't simply have internet? And think about that at a time like this when kids got to do schooling from home. They don't even have internet. Man, America got a lot of work to do. And some students don't even have laptops. That's another thing I said on the call yesterday. I'm like, man, we talking about broadband. These kids don't even have laptops and tablets to do their schoolwork on.

All right. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and let's talk about Pop Smoke. There's a movie that's coming out, and he makes his acting debut in that movie. So, I'm sure you'll be interested in hearing it.

Sounds like a different type of theme. All right. We got that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk pop smoke. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up.

Well, they've just released a trailer to a movie called Boogie, which stars Pop Smoke. Now, that movie will be released on March 5th. And here is the trailer. No one believes in an Asian basketball player. You can cook, clean, count real good. But anything else, we pick last. But if you stick to our plans and we beat Monk, we'll get our shot at the NBA. Yo, who is that? Oh, that's Eleanor.

He could get it if he stopped staring. As a self-hating China man, I was skeptical about Boogie. Stop walking on soup. Come on, back in the locker room. All right, all right. Let's do it. I can't wait to see Boogie. Boogie's going to be a good film.

I actually have a role in that movie. I may or may not be the star basketball player for a rival team. You just have to wait and see. There's no way. You can't play basketball. You can barely trust a net. Slime, you judging me, okay? All right, salute to my guy, Eddie Hong, for casting me in that.

And what's sad about this, I remember Eddie on set being excited, super excited to have Pop Smoke in the movie and raving about how Pop was a star. And when you see the success that Pop had with music last year, this movie would have taken him to superstar status. So, you know, very tragic to see that not happen for him. How big was your role? Because I don't see you in the credits, man. I'm looking right now.

How big was your role? Don't worry about it. But when you see me dunk on somebody, just know it's not a stunt double. Just know it wasn't a trampoline. That was just me channeling my inner child when I had a 72-inch vertical back in the day. Ever told y'all that? No. When I was 16, I had a 72-inch vertical leap?

No. No. No. Okay. Well, the story is about an Asian-American basketball star trying to make it to the NBA. I dunked on him. Shut up. Yeah, I'm sure.

Vince Carter style, between the legs. Bow. They lowered the rim. No, they didn't. To four feet. Ten feet. 72-inch vertical. All right.

Now, Jasmine Sullivan will be singing the national anthem during the Super Bowl, and her will be singing America the Beautiful. As you know, The Weeknd is performing a halftime show. What do y'all think about the event? I love it. Come on, man. First of all, drop on the clues box for Jasmine Sullivan and her. Okay.

Hotels is absolutely positively a classic. I love the record that Jasmine Sullivan and her got on that album. What is it? Girl Like Me? Is it Girl Like Me? I think it's Girl Like Me. I don't remember. You know, I never know the names of songs.

Me neither. I think it's Girl Like Me. I'm almost positive it's Girl Like Me. All right. Well, I never know the names of songs. Me neither. I think it's Girl Like Me. I'm almost positive it's Girl Like Me. All right. Well, I'll definitely be checking that out. I can't believe it's almost Super Bowl time already. And Kyrie Irving, let's discuss his absence from the Brooklyn Nets. Now, he has addressed the media for the first time since he hasn't been playing in the past over two weeks.

And here's what he had to say about not playing. Can you shed some light on what the last couple of weeks have been like for you and the time you needed off? There's a lot of family and personal stuff going on. So just want to leave it at that. All right. And again, we never know what's happening in people's real lives. Now, he also talked about his teammates being supportive Kyrie how supportive have your teammates and the organization been during this

time it's been great it's been enough support for me to uh you know feel like they had my back and you know that's all I can ask for you know the support not only me but my family you know I'm a hometown kid so you know things hit a little different when, you know, family or personal stuff going on. And that's up to me to handle that as a man. But, yeah, I just take full accountability for my absence with the guys and, you know, just had a conversation with each one of them. And we move on.

Yeah, I watched a lot of that yesterday, and it just sounded to me like he needed a mental health break. You know, I get it. I will say, though, someone like him can go a long way into normalizing that, but you got to express it to people. Every team and corporation should allow folks mental health days. Those are like sick days. I have them, and I use them when I need to.

Sometimes you just need to disconnect. I get it, but when you disconnect and don't tell anyone why you disconnected, you leave it up to the public to come to their own conclusions and create their own narratives. That's what happened in this situation with Kyrie. Right. Well, I'm sure his teammates knew because he did say they were supportive of him, but the general public just didn't know. And maybe he needed a moment for that, too. Now, how do you separate what's going on in your real life from work? Here's what he said. Just a separation between what's going on here, you know, when I'm playing professionally

and what's going on out in the world. And if you don't create that distinction, then it's easy to feel the weight of the world while you're going out there and playing. So, you know, I would be lying sitting here and saying I don't feel what's going on in the world and nor am I paying attention to it. You know, I just have a huge responsibility, I feel, to continue to serve my community and underserved. And, you know, when I'm out here playing, it's continuing to leave knowledge with these guys and commit to something, like I always say, bigger than ourselves. Listen, I can't show up for you if I need somebody to show up for me right now. I can't pour into you if I have nothing to give.

If I'm empty, I can't give you anything. So sometimes you got to sit down and recharge. So I have something to give my job. You know what I mean? I have something to give my team. Yeah, I'm not give you anything. So sometimes you got to sit down and recharge. So I have something to give my job. You know what I mean? I have something to give my team. Yeah, I'm not mad at that. All right. Well, Kyrie is happy to be back.

For me, I'm just taking every day, just being grateful. And, you know, I'm back. I'm happy to be back. And we got some great pieces and we just move on. And I let my actions and my game speak for itself like I planned on doing, you know, just needed a pause. I get it. All right.

Man, mental health days should be like sick days for every corporation, period. All right. Well, he is expected to play tonight. So they'll be playing the Cavs tonight. So yes, that's the expectation. Well, get ready for all of that judgment and critique that's going to come because people can't wait

to pick that situation apart. It still gets busy, though, regardless. I just want to see if it's going to work. We just want to see if it's going to work between Arnett and Rand and Kyrie Irving. I mean, it's only one ball. I just want to see how it's going to work. That's all.

Okay. Well, since we're talking basketball, I just want to also send a shout out to Delonte West. Apparently now he does have a job working at the same rehab center that he just was attending. So it's the Rebound Therapy Center in Florida. And

as you remember, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban reunited Delonte West with his mother in September. They've been staying in close contact. He's been having some well-documented struggles dealing with mental health issues. He struggled with substance abuse after the end of his career playing basketball. He had multiple arrests, a lot of different incidents that happened publicly. He was estranged from his family and friends. Then there were some pictures that surfaced of him where he was not looking too healthy.

And Mark Cuban stepped in, got him to reunite with his family, got him to go to a recovery center, and now he's working there. Incredible. Drop on the clues bombs for Mark Cuban. Drop on the clues bombs for Delonte West for getting it together. See what happens when somebody cares. All right? People just need folks to put their arm around them sometimes.

You know what I mean? People be wanting to get up. It's not like they want to stay down. Just sometimes they need some assistance. That's all. All right. Well, that is That's all. All right. Well, that is your rumor reports. All right.

Now, also, shout out to DJ Self, man. It's today's DJ Self's birthday, man. Happy birthday, Self. Did he need some assistance? I don't know. Maybe with his hair or something. I don't know. Somebody sent me a reel of DJ Self, and they were so mad at DJ Self's outfits.

All his outfits. I seen that, too. Man, man, that was crucial, bro. Like, man. And you know what it is? Like, I'm not a fashionista. I don't... No.

But here's the thing. I don't attempt to dress up. Self attempts to. He tries. That's what makes it look crazy. He tries. And I'm tired of you city folk. What are y'all talking about?

I'm tired of you city folk acting like y'all not as country as the rest of us. Y'all match everything. There's no proof Self's from New York. There's no proof he's from Brooklyn. Man, stop. Y'all match everything. There's no proofs from New York. There's no proofies from Brooklyn. Man, stop. Y'all match everything. Colorful this, colorful that. I've seen DJ Self with New York Knicks

boxer shorts, socks, hats. How you find a New York Knicks wife beater? Where you get New York Knicks jeans from? They make New York Knicks jeans? I don't know. I heard Self originally from South Carolina, but I don't know. That's absolutely not true.

Now we got front page news coming up. Well, yes, let's talk about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They are making history today. Joe Biden will be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States. Obviously, Kamala Harris is making history as the first ever woman who is a vice president

in the United States. And we'll tell you what some of the first things are going to be that they do I heard he's going to pardon some of self's outfits that's going to be like the first three days that's what I heard all right we'll get into that next is the breakfast club good morning hello I guess I don't know usually we hear music I talk here we go oh I usually say here we go guys usually you say here we go and then we hear the end of a song or something get it together you ghetto bastards come on dramas what were you doing I said here we go, guys. Usually you say here we go, and then we hear the end of a song or something. Get it together, you ghetto bastards. Come on, Dramos. What were you doing?

I said here we go. And we were Googling information about who had the lowest rating. There you go. There you go. Morning, everybody. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where we starting, Ye?

Well, let's see. I mean, there's so much going on today with inauguration, and I want to make sure we shout out Kamala Harris, the first woman ever to be vice president in the United States. Now, ahead of Inauguration Day and all the activities that start today, which will also break down for you. Here's what Kamala Harris had to say. For many months, we have grieved by ourselves. Tonight, we grieve and begin healing together.

Though we may be physically separated, we are united in spirit. And my abiding hope, my abiding prayer, is that we emerge from this ordeal with a new wisdom. To cherish simple moments, to imagine new possibilities, and to open our hearts just a little bit more to one another. I had no idea that Kamala Harris spoke yesterday. I heard that briefly mentioned on one of the news stations yesterday that her and Joe spoke, but I didn't see it simply because, you know, they still making Trump the ace story. And it shouldn't be that way today. OK, today is Inauguration Day. Joe Biden going in should be the A story. Sorry, Kamala Harris, the historic first VP should be the B story.

And whatever Trump has done or will attempt to do today to keep the spotlight off of that. Remember, you don't have to give him the attention he's seeking. Well, Joe Biden's first executive order will be a nationwide mask mandate. So he's addressing COVID-19 as one of the first things that he does. So that will direct the agencies to take action to require compliance with CDC guidance on mask wearing and physical distancing in federal buildings, on health officials, mayors, business leaders and others to implement masking, physical distancing and other public measures to control COVID-19. They said it's not a political statement. It's about the health of our families and economic recovery of our country. Yeah. And so all you privileged, entitled white folks just know mask mandates are not oppression. OK, it's to stop the spread of COVID-19. Okay. True oppression is when everybody's

not wearing a mask and you're concerned about yourself. That's oppressive to me. If you're not wearing a mask out in public and breathing all over me. All right. Now on a typical inauguration day, obviously there would be hundreds of thousands of people in DC. Everybody goes, but this year everybody has to stay away. They've been encouraging people do not tryC. Everybody goes. But this year, everybody has to stay away. They've been encouraging people do not try to go to D.C. As we told you previously, Airbnb canceled

all reservations in D.C. But there are some things that you can join in virtually in addition to the broadcast of the inauguration and the swearing in ceremony and some of those events. There's a DNC watch party.

That's an online service for people to organize and host their own virtual inauguration watch parties. There's women and the vice presidency, because obviously we told you Kamala Harris is making history today. So the Demana Children's History Museum in New York City is hosting an online event for children of all ages to learn about what led to this historic moment. There is a Biden inauguration special that Tom Hanks will be hosting. It's called Celebrating America. Now, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

are set to give remarks during the 90-minute television special. It'll also honor healthcare workers, teachers, other Americans who have worked during the pandemic. So that program will air at 8.30 p.m. Eastern today. But a lot of this you can watch on CNN.

You can watch it streaming, Facebook, all of that. Yeah, nothing you mentioned sound like the food gonna be hitting at any of30 p.m. Eastern today. But a lot of this you can watch on CNN. You can watch it streaming, Facebook, all of that. Yeah, nothing you mentioned sounds like the food going to be hitting at any of those events. I mean, it's hard. It's virtual. Yeah, but everything you mentioned, I was like, the food sounds like it's just going to be terrible at every single one of those functions.

You know what event's going to be terrible today? What? Donald Trump's departure ceremony, because he's doing this whole thing, and they said dozens of his current and former administration officials have been invited

to his farewell ceremony today before all these activities happen. And it looks like a lot of people aren't going. They said he was trying to invite any and everybody.

Now, don't act like Trump don't be having hidden ass food at his functions. Okay, Trump keeps it simple. Chick-fil-A. You know what IA, McDonald's. You know what I mean?

McDonald's, tried and true favorites that can't fail us. All right? Yeah, they said because he's so toxic right now, even some of his own staff members and some of the higher up administration officials aren't even trying to go. They even invited a lot of the junior aides who never personally interacted with Donald Trump.

They said they're trying to beef up the guest list because a lot of people declined. Man, talk about the legend of the junior aides who never personally interacted with Donald Trump, they said they're trying to beef up the guest list because a lot of people declined. Man, talk about the legend of the fall loss. You know what I'm saying? You know when you hide everybody all on you, you know what I'm saying? When you got the power, when you got the money, when all that gets taken away, you really get to see who your true friends are. That's the worst. You have a party and no one shows

up? No, all is Chick-fil-A for nothing. You know what I'm saying? And you know, in addition to all that, they talk about Donald Trump's approval rating is 34%. His disapproval rating is 61%. And they're saying that is the lowest of his whole entire presidency

and one of the lowest ever for a president, I think, in the past 70 years. And Melania Trump also is the worst. She has the worst popularity rating for any first lady at the end of her term in polling history. And Melania Trump also is the worst. She has the worst popularity rating for any first lady at the end of her term in polling history. What Trump should have did

is pardon these people earlier so they would be coming home today. And the people he pardoned could be at his departure party. You got Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, you know, headlining your departure party. You might have something. Nice little Chick-fil-A Popeye spread.

Okay, now we got a party. Yeah, well, we'll talk about those pardons in rumor report. All right, well, that is your front page news. Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Everybody laughed at Lil Wayne when he wore that sweater, took a picture with Donald Trump. People were mad at him, wanted to cancel little Wayne.

But now that he got pardoned, I see everybody saying fire emojis, the goat. The goat's coming home and all of those things. What's so funny? I see people putting the flowers up, like giving him the flowers. Like, Jesus, y'all was just killing Wayne for taking this picture with Trump.

Now y'all posting the picture with Trump and Wayne and celebrating. All right, so have your thoughts changed. Let's open up the phone lines. If you were Lil Wayne, would you wear that sweater? Would you take a picture? Would you wear that sweater? Would you wear that sweater? Why is that the

first thing? Because that sweater just seems mad, mad weird. Would you wear that sweater? Would you take a picture with Trump and endorse him if you knew that you would get parted? I guess he did endorse him. I guess that was it. He did.

He definitely did. He endorsed him, bro. He wore the sweater. Took a picture with him at the White House. He wore the sweater. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Now, if you just join us, we're talking Lil Wayne. Now, you know, a couple of months ago, people were mad at Lil Wayne, wanted to cancel Lil Wayne when he endorsed Donald Trump. He went to the White House, he took a picture with him, and he wore that sweater. So we're asking, 800-585-1051,

would you do the same if you knew that you could possibly or be pardoned for a crime that you committed? All right. Now, ask me. Yes, I would have wore the sweater. This is Wayne's second gun charge. Wayne would have probably, Wayne might have sat down for 10 years. I mean, to take a picture.

I think I would have did that to get pardoned. And endorse him. Not just take a picture, but you would have to give your endorsement. Wayne probably would have had to do what? 10 to 20 years? This is his second gun charge? He's a felon? Yeah. I think I would have did it do what? 10 to 20 years? That's the second gun charge? He's a felon? Yeah, I think I would have did it.

What about you, Dee? Of course. I'm not trying to go to jail. Yes, I definitely would have. I would have took that picture. I definitely would have wore that sweater with some leggings. Okay, what about you, Charlamagne? I don't think it's a fair question.

Why not? Because it's easy to say what you would do when you're not in that situation. We're saying we wouldn't do the morally right thing. It's easy to say you wouldn't. Who says it's morally right, though? I mean, morally right is up to you. That's based on you and your ethics and your principles. Yeah, I'm talking about myself. I'm talking about myself.

Morally, that's not what I would want to do. And listen, I think that Wayne did what anyone should do, and that's work with whoever is in power to get something done. You know, I was reading. So that's a yes for you. Let me finish. I was reading yesterday that Snoop was working quietly to get Harry O., former founder of Death Row Records, free. And when I was reading these pardons, I saw mad folks had people advocating to the president on their behalf. So I strive to not judge people for what they do when they are in survival mode.

So Wayne did what he felt like he needed to do. I honestly cannot answer what I would do in that situation. I can't give a simple yes or no. So you wouldn't wear a sweater and leggings like he wouldn't do that to make sure? If I were to wear that sweater, I would have wore it with some khakis.

Did Wayne have on khakis? I think he, look at the picture. He had on jeans, I thought. Yeah, I would have wore it with some khakis. You know what I mean? But I don't know. I don't know what I would have done in that situation. But I'm not mad at Wayne for what he did.

I know that much. Because like I said, I'm not judging people for what they do when they are in survival mode. I'm just not. So would you have done it or not? Or would you have said, you know what, I'm going to sit down for 15 years? I really don't know what I would have done in that situation. That's why I say I don't think it's a fair question because it's easy to say what you would do when you're not in that situation.

Yeah, it's easy to say, yeah, I would do it. Or it's easy to say, no, I wouldn't do it. I don't know what I would do. Close your eyes. You're facing 15 years. You're not going to see your daughters in 15. And all you got to do is wear the sweater. Would you wear the sweater or not?

But that's not just what he did. He wore the sweater. He wore the sweater. He endorsed Donald Trump. You know, he talked about Donald Trump's platinum plan and how it was a great plan. Like, there was a lot behind it. He didn't just wear the sweater.

You know what? It wasn't the sweater. I think it's the great turtleneck under it. That turtleneck didn't go with the sweater. Nah, it's the dreads. It's the dreads with the bald spot in the middle for me. Oh, my goodness. Y'all just forget the point.

You can't send us a man that got dreads and a bald spot already. It's just like the man's suffering enough. Yo, shut up, man. I'm going to lock him away. Come on. Hello, who's this? Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this?

Yo, Envy, what's going on, fellas? Mello. Mello. Now, Mello, come on. Don't get too real. Let's be honest, Mello. They're about to give you maybe Mellow, come on. Don't get too real. Let's be honest, Mellow. They're about to give you maybe 10 to 20 years. It's your second gun charge.

That's right. All you got to do is put on that sweater. Put on the sweater and hold Donald Trump's penis when he pees and shake it after he's done. You ain't got to do that. But you got to put on the sweater, Mellow, and endorse Donald Trump. You doing it? No. Mellow.

You lying, Mellow. You lying. Mellow. Why you going to Mello. You're lying. Mello. Why you gonna tell him that he's lying? I have no... First of all, I'm not putting myself in a position to get locked up. I'm not putting myself in a position where I'm gonna need... We didn't ask that. We didn't ask you that. So you can't do that. You can't play that part of the game. I keep telling y'all it's not a fair

question. It's not that easy to say yes or no. It's not a fair question. We don't like Trump. Wayne don't even like Trump. Look at his dreads. He don't like him. How do you know? He got three dreads left and they hold it off like do you see him and you're wondering why he was on trump but he i mean he did that was the hip-hop i guess but like look at him look look at your dress look at who you said we talk about you mella we talk about what would you do. Mello said no.

I'm not doing it. You just want to lock me up. All right, Mello. That's what I said. It's not a fair question because it's easy to say what you would do when you're not in that situation. I don't think anybody wants to go to jail. No. All right?

And I don't think that you're going to go to jail if you have the option to do that. Put on a sweater, you know, the turtleneck, going there with your three dreadlocks. I don't think anybody would, you know, just say, hey, I'm going to accept jail time if it's something that simple I have to do. But you just never know until you're in that situation. Well, Mello said he would go to jail. Let's go to another caller. Hello, who's this?

Oh, Susan, hi. Hey, Susan. Now, we're asking if, you know, you had a gun charge and you could possibly get 10 to 20 years in prison, or you had to wear that sweater and, I don't even know why I keep saying wear the sweater, but if you had to endorse Donald Trump, would you do it? No. You would go to jail for 10 years?

Yeah, I'd go to jail. I don't believe, see, okay, I respect your answer, but once again, I just don't think this is an easy question. It was easy for me. None of us are in that situation. I'm loyal to my people. I'm not loyal to Trump. He don't care this is an easy question. It's just not. None of us are in that situation. I'm loyal to my people. I'm not loyal to Trump. He don't care nothing about any of us. Yeah, but what about Wayne's kids?

You know what I mean? Wayne's kids got to deal with it. That's easy for you to say. It's so easy for us to say when we're not in that situation. I strive to not. It's a true question and a true answer because he did the crime, did the crime. You sound like you got two cornrows. Two.

Am I lying? No. How many cornrows you got? Three. None. Oh, man, you're a bald head. Scallywag. Ain't got no hand to back.

All right. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, my goodness. 80-585-1051. You know, when Wayne posted the picture of Donald Trump wearing that sweater, everybody got on Wayne. Now when he's partying, they're giving him flower emojis, fire emojis, welcome home to GOAT. Yes.

But then, like, again, like you said, we heard a lot of people behind the scenes who were actually trying to get Kodak Black got pardoned. We don't know. And he was vocal about his support for Donald Trump, too, right? I never heard Kodak Black support Donald Trump. I don't remember that. I never heard that.

I know he wanted to get pardoned. I definitely heard him say, yo, I want to get pardoned by Trump. And he would donate a million dollars to some charity if he got pardoned by Trump. But I never heard him endorse him. But once again, man, I keep telling you, I strive to not judge people for what they do when they are in survival mode. Wayne did what he felt was best for Wayne. I'm not mad at that.

I don't think it's an easy question just to say, what would you do in that situation? 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now.

I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. That clean on you, you know what that? Call me. Add your opinions to The Breakfast Club top. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now, if you just joined us We're talking about Lil Wayne Now a couple of months ago When Lil Wayne endorsed Donald Trump

And he went to the White House He took a picture He wore a sweater People were mad and upset Getting on with Wayne How could you You traitor All these things

But now that he got pardoned Everybody has changed Their mindset You know Giving him flowers Calling him the goat Welcome back home I mean listen

He is a goat now. He is. Absolutely he is. Yeah. So we're asking, if you were in Lil Wayne's position, would you wear the sweater? Would you do the same thing? Hello, who's this?

What's up? This is KJ Dive from Michigan. What's up, man? Remember last time I was over here, we were talking about how good your beard looked. Thank you, brother. Why are you lying to that man? I can't trust you now, King. Why are you lying to that man?

Tell him. Why are you lying to that man? About how good trust you now, King. You lying to that man. Why you lying to that man? About how you're being loved. If you got mad at us, I'm talking about the pay-yank, man. The pay-yank? He said it three times. Anyway. What would you do, bro?

What would you do if you was in Louie's business? Listen, I think you and Charlamagne, the mage, man. So I say snitching on loyalty and selling out is the new norm, man. I wouldn't do it, but, I mean, it's normal to people now. So you would sit down for 10 years? Wait a minute now. I have to deal with this. Wait a minute.

He didn't snitch. He wasn't. I'm just saying, Charlamagne, it's just insane. I mean, you and the president don't like black folks, man, but you black folks, man. That ain't snitching. That ain't snitching, though. He made what some people feel is a bad political decision, but that's not snitching. Come on, man.

Yeah, I get it, but it's just as bad. Would you take a picture with Trump? Would you take a picture with Trump? No. But if I was facing 15 people, I might take a picture with him. I don't think that's a fair question. Not for no reason. He didn't think he was going to get pardoned. He was taking it because... No reason. He didn't think he was going to get pardoned.

He was taking it because. No, I'm sure he thought he was going to get pardoned. I'm sure that was the reason why his team set that up. Absolutely. I'm sure that was the whole reason for that. I'm sure that was the discussion. Yes. Yes, I'm sure.

I'm sure that was the situation. It's just easy. I mean, I don't know. Everybody's different, man. I wouldn't put myself in a position like that. Let me ask you this. Are you married? His 10 years ain't going to be like a regular 10 years for anybody else. Everybody's different, man. I wouldn't put myself in a position like that. Let me ask you this. Are you married? It's 10 years.

It ain't going to be like a regular 10 years for anybody else. Man, stop, man. Y'all got to stop saying stuff like this. 10 years is a long time. Let me ask you this. Are you married? Are you married? Yeah, I am.

Okay, would you take a picture with Chum to keep your wife out of jail for 10 years? I mean, you can't put the wife in it with you. It's respectful of you. Why are you doing that to me? I mean, you can't put the wife in there with you. It's respectful, Yee. Why are you doing that, Yee? I'm just asking. Why are you doing that? It ain't right, Yee. It ain't right.

I don't even know why she would do that to you, Yee. You know what I'm saying? All right. But once again. Y'all stay safe and blessed, man. You stay healthy, man. I love talking to y'all in the morning. Love you, Yee.

Thank you, brother. Like I said, it's easy to say what you would do when you're not in that situation. I don't judge people for what they do when they're in survival mode. Wayne, do you know what you felt was best for Wayne? Let's go to another caller. Hello, who's this? This is Laidback underscore Phil Laidback. Boy, that's a stupid name.

Oh, my gosh. How the hell are you expecting anybody to remember that? You got 20 followers. Nobody can remember that. I got 130,000, fam. Tap it. Hey. Woo.

Tap, tap, tap in. Tap it. Dang it. Woo. Tap, tap, tap it. Tap it. Oh. Tap it. Oh. I would, but I can't remember the goddamn handle. My goodness. What is it?

Laid back on a man on the beach. What is it? What was it? So that's what you want yours to be. What do you mean? So what would you do laid back with a man on the beach? Now, if Donald Trump said he would pardon you, well, let me ask you a question. Would you endorse Donald Trump, wear that sweater, if you could possibly be pardoned

and not have to spend 10 years, let's say, in jail? I mean, the only way to deal with mayonnaise is with a knife. So if I know he can get me out, I'm going to get out. What the hell are you talking about? Are you saying that you would spread your cheeks for Trump? Now that you do it, mayonnaise and a knife, you saying that you would spread your cheeks for Trump? That's what you do with mayonnaise and a knife. You spread that goddamn mayonnaise. That is true.

If he can get me out, I'm going to get out. Like, if I'm on an island and somebody comes through with a boat, I'm going to get on the boat. And it don't matter who's driving the boat. I'm with you, brother. That's why I said this is not an easy yes or no question. I don't judge people for what they do in their survival mode. I don't know nothing about Lil Wayne.

I don't know what he's dealing with personally. I know he got a bunch of kids. Nobody wants to go to prison for 10 years. So it's not as easy as a yes or no. It's a lot of circumstances that go into that question. All right. Well, what's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is I don't judge people for what they do in their survival mode.

Wayne clearly was trying to survive, and he survived. Yeah, and Wayne had gray pants on, if you want to know. He had gray pants on and a gray turtleneck. I'm telling you, they gave him that. That turtleneck was terrible. No, they probably gave him that sweater there because it didn't match his outfit. They probably said, put this sweater on, take the picture, thumbs up. I got you when this is over.

That's what probably happened. Wayne don't have this sweater. Now, next what we need to happen is for all of these people who got these, you know, hair chemicals and hair follicles that help hair grow back, please help our brother Lil Wayne. He'll stop. Please. Give him the shot, the PRPS something. Please, man.

PRPS is genius, bro. What are you talking about? Whatever the thing is called. Y'all know what I'm talking about. When they draw your blood, they draw your blood and then they re-inject your blood back in you so your hair follicles will grow. Please, man. PRP, I'm sorry. PRP. PRPS.

Then you'll give him some jeans. Get them slacks off, give him some PRPS. At this point, Lil Wayne could use some denim up there. Anything's better than what's up there. Denim dreads would be amazing. Weenzy be joking, Weenzy. He's been a trendsetter. Denim dreads would be amazing. That's a trend. What is he joking with? He's been a trendsetter. Denim dreads would be the move.

My goodness. All right? You ain't got no PRPS dreadlocks. All right? Stop it. Oh, man. Yeah, we got rumors all the way? Yes, we are going to talk about who Donald Trump is partying.

We'll give you some more of the people on the list. And I do want to address these two people who have an OnlyFans account now. Oh, y'all made fun about me about creating one with my bro. But now when these two bros do it, it's different. You don't think people are making fun of them? I don't know. But we'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Now, I'm super duper Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Now, I'm super duper excited. Let me tell you why, right?

That honey pack? That VIP honey pack? No. What? Yesterday, I ordered a trainer, a bike trainer in December, like December 1st. Oh, I thought you said waist trainer. No. I thought the same thing, Yee.

I did, I did. I was like, another one? I was thinking the same thing. Remember eating that one already? No, no. I did, I did. I was thinking the same thing. Remember eating that one already? No, no. I had a bike trainer, and what it is is, you know, it's too cold to ride outside, so you can actually hook your bike, your back wheel to this trainer

and you can ride indoors, which is pretty dope. So it came yesterday, so I rode yesterday for the first time in the long term. How much it cost? To hire a trainer to come ride you in your house? No, it's a device. It's not a person, but you know, I didn't... Oh, like a robot? I haven't rode in a long time, and I'm not going to front. My bunkie kind of hurts a little bit.

Oh, it hurts from not riding in a long time? Yeah, and I didn't wear the bike shorts with the padding on it yesterday. You didn't use the gel yesterday? I didn't use the gel. You should use the gel with your new toy, Envy. I think it'll make it a lot easier. I think you're right. So I'm going to get back on that horse when we finish.

That's what you nicknamed him? Okay. Drop on the cootie bomb for horse. God damn it. Shout out to the horse. Uchi wali wali. Uchi bang bang. The more you get on that horse, the less your butt will hurt.

There you go. All right. Well, that's what I'm going to do. Okay. You keep riding, Envy. Thank you. You know what I'm saying? Get that hole back to the glory that it once had.

The what? The glory. What's wrong with you, man? Did you have a big old glory hole at one point in your life? What are you talking about? I don't know. My goodness. All right.

We got rumors on the way in. Yeah, let's talk about some of these pardons and commutations from Donald Trump in his last days. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk all these pardons. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report.

Rumor report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, let's talk about Donald Trump and these pardons that he did last night at midnight. And just so you know, he has until today at noon. So there might be some more people getting clemency. Now, some of the people, Snoop Dogg, by the way, had really petitioned for Death Row Records co-founder Michael Harrio Harris to get clemency.

And he did find out that he will be released early from prison on Donald Trump's orders, even though the White House has not publicly said so about that yet. Little Wayne, we've been talking about that all morning. And as you know, Little Wayne has been issued a pardon as well as Kodak Black. Now, one person who didn't get one, by the way, and thought he was going to get one was Joe Exotic. His name was not on that list, but he does still have until noon to make that list. I can't wait to give him donkey of the day today

because Dramos and Envy was so excited about Joe Exotic getting pardoned. It was kind of sick the way they were championing for him, but we'll talk about it. Definitely was a champion for him. That's a lie. I'm just surprised he didn't get it. Another person, former Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

Rock Nation CEO Desiree Perez was also granted a pardon. So, yeah, all in all, it was like 143 people, I believe. Yeah, that's why I don't think nobody else is getting pardoned in our community because they put it all on the website. But salute to everybody who got their sentence pardoned and got their sentence commuted. I'll tell you something else. When you look at that list of people who got pardoned and got their sentences

commuted, you realize how bad the 86 mandatory minimum sentences and the 88 crack laws and the 94 crime bills really were. Those bills destroyed the black and brown community. So many folks on that pardon list who got life are extremely big numbers for nonviolent drug offenses. So many people on there who got life in prison for distribution of weed, but weed is being legalized all over the country. If I'm Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,

everyone locked up for weed and nonviolent drug offenses should be set free immediately. That's one of the first steps of healing for this country. All right. Well, he does still have until noon, like I said today. So maybe Joe Exotic has a chance. Not sure. I doubt it.

That fool already went and got a limo, hair and makeup, only to have his ass, only to have his date canceled on him. You said hair and makeup? Hair and makeup. All right, Future's manager has responded to the rumors that there was going to be a versus battle between Future and Travis Scott. Now, this all came from Clubhouse. Apparently, there was a Clubhouse conversation and somebody who works for Timbaland actually had was taking some comments from people. Gary Morrell is his name. And he, you know, people were saying this would be a good matchup.

And he just basically said, you know, those are just some wishlist pairings people would like to see. He said, I simply said we will see what we can do to make that happen. He said we've had no conversations with Travis or Future yet. Listen, don't do that to Travis Scott. Okay? And don't disrespect Future. I don't care how you feel about Future. That man is a hip-hop icon who has weapons of mass destruction in his arsenal.

And you can't talk about the last decade of hip-hop without talking about goddamn Hendrix. Okay? Travis Scott would lose that 19-1. Now, isn't the versus battle

between Keisha Cole and Ashanti tomorrow night at 8 p.m.? Oh, I forgot all about that. Yep, that's tomorrow. Yep. You forgot about that. I did. I forgot about that.

That's tomorrow? Thursday? Okay. All right, I'm there for it. All right, another, that's tomorrow. You forgot about that. I did. I forgot about that. Tomorrow? Thursday? Yep, tomorrow. Alright, I'm there for it. Alright, another thing that's come in soon is Drake's certified Loverboy album. Now, Charlie Puth had tweeted something and he deleted it pretty quickly. He put

Drake's dropping on the 21st. And that said, everybody ablaze. Everybody's talking about it. As you know, Drake's been hard at work to get this album out. They kept saying it's coming out in January. And so now we shall see if it really comes out. I heard it was dropping February 30th. Okay. And you heard it already, right?

No, I didn't hear it. It was a bootleg out of something. Now people are really going to think that it drops on February 30th. Can you tell them there's no February 30th? Why you got to ruin the joke? Why you can't let things just linger? Because people gonna be

excited. I want them to run with it. I want them to get on Twitter and social media and say Charlamagne said Drake's album drops February 30th. I want them to be stupid.

All right, rewind it. Yes, man. Let's go back. Say it again, Yee. All right, well, Charlamagne, you've heard the album already, right?

No, I haven't heard the album, but I heard that it drops on February 30th. Man, I can't wait to pick it up. I'm gonna pre-order it right now. Yeah, I haven't heard the album, but I heard that it drops on February 30th. Man, I can't wait to pick it up. I'm going to pre-order it right now. Yeah, yeah, you should. You can pre-order it right now, February 30th. Yeah.

All right, DJ Khaled and Fat Joe have launched a joint OnlyFans account. So, Envy, you were a pioneer in this. That's right. You went flipping at Jay. You had your feet on there. I definitely didn't have my feet on it, but me and Cesar Flippin' New Jersey, we created an OnlyFans to teach people about real estate. We weren't doing it naked.

Had nothing to do with me being naked or him being naked. We were just teaching people how to do real estate on that platform. We were not. So y'all just gonna let Khaled and Fat Joe steal y'all thunder? It's not a competition, sir. It is a competition. Now there's room for everybody.

Flippin' New Jersey should have the Weight Watchers deal. Not Khaled. Khaled hasn't lost any weight from that Weight Watchers deal. Flippin' New Jersey's actually lost weight. Weight Watchers is now called WW. They've rebranded. Fat Joe's in better shape than all of y'all. Alright, so what is going to be on this platform, though,

on their OnlyFans page? They'll be playing basketball together. They'll be in the studio talking to people. They'll be doing motivating and inspiring and spreading positive vibes only. I want to see Khaled play a whole game of basketball. See, this is what Khaled does. Khaled puts snippets of exercise up,

but we clearly know these ain't full sessions that he's doing. These are just for social media, aren't they? He's dunking in one of these pictures. That's a goddamn. Yeah, stop it. I'll fight you right now. He is.

He's dunking. I'm looking at the picture right now. He's dunking in it. Now, you said you could dunk earlier. All right, well, I'm answering the yeet. And that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yeet.

Now, Charlemagne. Yes, sir. Who are you giving that dog a look at you? We need your icon, your god, okay, your tiger king to come to the front of the congregation, Joe Exotic. This is a very teachable moment, and that teachable moment is never, ever count your tigers until they scratch. I think that's it. Is that it? We'll get into that next.

And also, let me shout out John Legend and Chrissy Teigen. I was in Walmart the other day. You know they got their own cereals? The Chex with Teigen and... Well, that's not theirs. John Legend? Well, they endorsed on it. I thought that was pretty dope.

I bought it. I don't eat Chex. I bought it, but I just don't eat it. I just wanted to support it. But anyway, Don't Get It Days up next. You're dying to eat John Legend, bro. That's so crazy. What is wrong with you?

You're a wild boy. This guy is crazy. Yo, you know what? This Envy guy is a nut. Oh, my goodness. Donkey of the Day is up next. I hate you. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on in. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Hee-haw, bitch.

Hee-haw. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy. I can take it if you feel I deserve it. Ain't no big deal. I know Charlamagne Tha God gonna have some funny sweet s*** out his mouth. That's because I said something you may not agree with. Doesn't mean I mean it. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey.

That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey of the day right there. It's a breakfast club, bitches. Call me the donkey of the day, but like, I mean no harm. Listen, donkey of the day for Wednesday, January 20th goes to one of DJ Envy and DJ Dramos'

favorite people, Joe Exotic. Stop it. Now, if you've been paying attention this morning, then you know last night Donald Trump released some last-minute pardons that include the likes of Lil Wayne, Kodak Black, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and countless victims of the war on drugs. People like

Louis Gonzalez, who was a 78-year-old non-violent drug offender who served more than 27 years of a life sentence. Anthony DeJohn, who has served more than 13 years of a life sentence for conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Corvain Cooper, 41 years old and has served more than seven years of a life sentence for his nonviolent participation in a conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Hey, soon-to-be President Joe Biden. All of that was your fault. Okay, the 86 mandatory minimum sentence and the 88 crack laws, the 94 crime bill.

All those folks I named got their lives taken away from them because of federal drug laws you wrote. So, so many people on there who got life in prison for distribution of weed, but weed is being legalized all over the country. If I'm Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, I'm making weed legal and everyone locked up for weed and nonviolent drug offenses

should be set free immediately. Okay, that's one of the first steps of healing for this country. Right your wrongs, Joe. Right your wrongs. I want to see all these people free. And when your administration sets all these people free

who are doing big numbers for weed because of policies you wrote, Kamala can say this. We did it, Joe. Okay, Dramos, need you to be a little quicker next time. Now back to today's donkey of the day. The reason I told you about all of those people is because out of all of those people,

the one I kept hearing folks in this room, here at the Breakfast Club talk about, is Joe Exotic. I mean, it seems like for months, all I've been hearing Dramos and Envy talk about is Joe Exotic. I mean, it seems like for months all I've been hearing Dramos and Envy talk about is Joe Exotic getting a pardon, okay? I can't wait for Joe Exotic to get a pardon. Tiger King, Tiger Bone, Tiger Woods, Tony the Tiger, Frosted Flakes, they're great.

I mean, these guys were on it, super excited. If you don't know who Joe Exotic is, he's the former Oklahoma zookeeper who has been serving 22 years in federal prison. Now, the reason Joe Exotic is getting donkey of the day is because this, ladies and gentlemen, is a prime example of why you don't count your chickens before they hatch. Okay? In this case, you don't eat your flakes until they're frosted. All right?

See, Joe Exotic's legal team requested a pardon. They sent a letter and the letter said he humbly request a pardon to correct the injustices he has experienced and to have the opportunity to return to providing meaningful contributions to his community. Listen, people, great requests. But one thing we all must learn in life is never celebrate too early. I apply this to everything in life. Something isn't done until it's done. I don't care how close we are. Even now, y'all celebrating as if Donald Trump don't have presidential power until noon today. I'm watching CNN. They on the White House lawn with the freaking jet.

And it says Trump soon to depart White House. We don't know what's on that man's mind or what he's thinking. Okay, if he goes away quietly, I'll be surprised, but I'm not celebrating anything yet. Salute to the good brother Isaac Hayes III. He's got these hoodies and shirts that say I survived 45. He's been selling them for a whole month. I got one, but I'm not wearing it until tomorrow because I refuse to get ahead of myself. And that's exactly what Joe Exotic did. He got ahead of himself. Let's go to KOCO ABC 5 for the report, please. Eric Love is the lead advocate for Team Tiger,

a group consisting of attorneys and private investigators who represent Joseph Maldonado Passage, a.k.a. Joe Exotic. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison in a murder-for-hire plot and for violating wildlife laws. Love tells me he's the one who told Maldonado Passage to look into a presidential pardon. Love says they expect to get the nod sometime tomorrow between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., but in the meantime, they've been preparing for his release. We've got hair, makeup, wardrobe, a doctor, and also a mental health expert.

He says they also have a limo ready to pick him up from the prison in Fort Worth, Texas, and take him to a secure location. Joe's biggest thing is he can't wait to get out, as you can imagine. And he doesn't want anyone to see him until his hair is done. So the most important person tomorrow is the hair, makeup, wardrobe folks. This white nigga. Joe Exotic had the nerve, the unmitigated guard,

and not only book a limo, but had hair and makeup and a mental health expert at the ready. Had the nerve to say that the most important person is the hair person. No, the most important person is the person that was supposed to give you the pardon. Okay?

You just knew you was coming home. Now, I'm all about speaking things into existence, but I'm also about dealing with reality, and the reality is you don't throw your hands up in the air before you make the shot. Did you learn nothing from Nick Young on Tuesday, March 25th, 2014? Remember when Nick Young shot that shot

versus the Knicks, and it went in and went out, but he turned around and threw his hands up in the air like he made it? This is such a teachable moment. See, your Uncle Sharla, I'm that uncle who has a bunch of quotes that may or may not go with the situation, and they may or may not make sense, but they do make sense. See, you start with light ones like, See, nephew, this Joe Exotic situation is why it is never over until you win.

Simple enough to understand. And then I turn to one of my nieces and say, See, this Joe Exotic thing is why you never sell a tiger skin until you kill it. That's Simple enough to understand. And then I turn to one of my nieces and say, see, this Joe Exotic thing is why you never sell a tiger skin until you kill it. That's simple enough to understand. And then this is when Unk says something that makes sense but don't really make sense. See what I'm talking about? That damn Tiger King thought he was getting out.

Went and got a goddamn limo before he got the pardon. That's why you focus on the mission from launch to landing and celebrate only when the rocket is safely on the ground and the tiger is safe in the cage. Shut up. One more. landing and celebrate only when the rocket is safely on the ground and the tiger is safe in the cage shut up one more see a tiger doesn't lose sleep over the opinions of sheep but at least them goddamn sheep not sleeping in prison i like that one you understand it okay the moral of the story is it's better to live one year as a tiger than a hundred as a sheep unless that one year as a tiger is in prison what i'm trying that one year as a tiger is in prison.

What I'm trying to tell you is a tiger never returns to its prey he did not finish off. Joe Exotic and his legal team ordered a limo, hair, and makeup before the devil damn prey was finished. All I'm simply saying is never celebrate too early. That's nothing. Okay? That's it. Please give Joy Exotic the sweet sound of the Hamilton's.

Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw.

That's right. Don't be a tiger's head with a snake's tail. day. Yeehaw. That's right. Don't be a tiger's head with a snake's tail. Okay. Alright. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, when we come back, ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice,

Yeah, man, it's D calling from Highland, Atlanta. What up, D? Atlanta is hot, man. What's your question for Yee? Me and my fiance, we're talking about getting married, and I think it should be a good idea to go to a courthouse, but she want to do a wedding thing. And what's the problem?

A church wedding. Because of the pandemic, I don't think we should do a church with a full family member. Okay, you don't want to have people there for safety issues. Right. But you guys don't want to push the wedding back. Can you get married in the courthouse and then

do a real wedding later? Yes, I think that would be an option. Yeah, I think it's all about finding solutions and compromises. I mean, that way you both win. I understand safety issues and it's a concern, but I also understand she has a vision of what she wants. And so respectful of both of you. I think you guys, if you want to get married now and not put it off,

then you can legally get married. But then when it's time, you guys can start planning now for maybe next year sometime to have a real one and plan it out well. Because a lot of people won't be able to show up if you do do it in a church like you said you are in hotlanta yeah okay people come from all over yeah so just to make it easier on everyone and for practical purposes i would say why don't we just i want to marry you now i want to be able to call you my wife but next year let's do something official when it's safe and everyone can come. I like that plan. There you go. Thank you, Angela. No problem.

Wow. Alright. You genius, you genius, my goodness. Ask me. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, hit you now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. Here's some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Steve. Steve, what's up, man? What's your question for you? Hey, man.

I need some relationship advice, man. Okay. I have my girlfriend, man. We've been together since we were 16, but back home, right? And we have two kids that are in a relationship. But the first kid, when we got my first daughter, we had a lot of problems, man. She ran out and tried to, you know, find someone else, and she cheated on me. But that thing didn't work for her, but I sat her down with her and talked.

So I take her back back and i get a new place and everything but now it's like man everything going down because of her family she keep on putting her family between that relationship people keep on talking people literally keep trying to pushing her away and and it's like she's too young she's too young she don't understand but i'm trying to i'm trying to figure it out like if she's too young. She's too young. She don't understand. But I'm trying to figure it out, like, if I should go or stay. So you guys have two kids. How long have you been together? Since you were 16.

But how old are you now? I'm 23. Before I was 23. Okay. But you guys, are you in love with each other? Or are you just together because you have kids together? I mean, after what happened, after what happened, if I didn't love her, right, you know, I wouldn't stay with her.

But I think, yeah, I think we still love each other. But it's like something cannot work. Are you still upset that she cheated before? Yeah, yeah. So she cheated and then you, and how long ago was that? Like a year. Okay, so that was recently. And you guys were already having relationship issues when that happened?

Yeah, we still have a lot of issues when that happened. We still have a lot of issues. But sometimes when I was just trying to fix it, it's like she didn't want that to get fixed up. She wanted to go away instead. And I let her, you know, I just leave her alone and let her do what she want to do and after she's trying to do it and that didn't

work and I still take her back trying to help her and everything. Trying to tell her how to understand life. You sound very unhappy. Yeah, because I'm a hard working man, you know, and take care of two kids at 23 years old, get your

responsibility right. It's not something easy. Right. It sounds like, have you guys ever tried to get some outside help? No, no, not really. You know, the people that were supposed to be helping us, like my dad don't really want to talk, you know, he don't really want to be in that part. But like our dad, our dad keep on pushing her to go away you know and especially

tax season like these these these bad man they've been looking at you know they've been looking at your money they'd be like oh you know she gotta she gotta she gotta come stay with me now because we gotta get a house and your house because you keep on buying cars every year and all right Steve I just want to say just to say something here Steve I think that a your family should not be interfering with whatever's going on in your relationship that's not going to help anything I do think that y'all need some outside person like a relationship therapist or somebody that can actually help you guys figure out how to communicate better with each other, figure out how to, if you want to be with this, with this woman, you have to forgive her for what happened last year. If you do want to move on, if it's something that you, and she has to be accountable

and accept responsibility and do what it is that she needs to make you feel comfortable. But sometimes that's not going to come from you guys talking to each other. Cause it sounds like there's a lot of hurt. there's some anger and too many family people getting involved and y'all need to learn how to effectively communicate with each other so you can move forward you're right right i was trying to look up for some help actually i think i think we do we do have some free therapy sessions can we give them uh can we give them a therapy session yeah of course absolutely we got don't hang up. Just hold on, all right? Courtesy of RCA Records and Toby, you know, we got free sessions with Talkspace.

Talkspace is a tele-app. We got six of them for you. Okay. Six months for you. Don't hang up. Thank you. All right, well, ask E-800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way?

Yes, and speaking of people who need to talk about some therapy with their families, let's talk about Wendy Williams. She's having some very public issues with her brother, and this all has to do with their mother's funeral. All right. I'm about to take another COVID test right now, and I'll be right back.

It's the breakfast. Hey. All I see is nonstop coverage of Donald Trump on CNN. CNN, y'all are making a mistake by making Donald Trump the A story, okay? Change the temperature. It's about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris today. Donald Trump just asked Melania to come up and speak the few words she knows. Okay?

He did. He said that. He said, come up here and speak the few words you know. How soon before Melania is letting someone from ASAP Mob tap that? ASAP Mob for 10-17. Next week. But let me ask you a question. Why is YMCA his theme song?

That is a great question. I have no idea why YMCA is Donald Trump's theme song. I don't know why. He grooves to this song. I just noticed it. Jump, man. I mean, I've heard it play a lot of times, but I just realized that really is his theme song.

That's his theme song. Every superhero has to have one, man. And it's amazing because he cut budgets. He cut funding for YMCA's with some of his budget cuts. I don't get it. It's weird. That is crazy. But anyway, let's get to the rumors.

Damn, we ain't going to get to the hook. But let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Wendy Williams. She's spilling the hook. But let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Wendy Williams. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, this family drama has been playing out. It all started when

Tommy Williams, Wendy Williams' brother was accusing Wendy Williams of not showing up for their mother's funeral. Why didn't you go to the funeral? Why couldn't you call Daddy and let him know why? I was there when you came in on that night of the dawning of the wake. And you told us, you told Daddy, that you had to race back to New York, handle business.

You were only going to be in town for the viewing. Your father didn't even know that you were in town for the funeral. And you're out eating lunch with your ex and your son. He's hurt, Wendy. We have a small family fragmented because of this. All right, well, Wendy responded and said she was there. Tommy, you know I was at Mommy's service, and you know that you fist-fought a loving member of our family

half your age. You started a fight over an open casket right there with my mother. Thank God we were at a civilized funeral home. And the men of the funeral home blocked so mommy wouldn't fall out and there'd be a catastrophe. Now, Wendy's ex, Kevin, was there at the funeral. So was Kevin Hunter Jr., their son. And here's what she had to say about Kevin breaking up the fight. My ex-husband came back to my son and I, and he said, I know it's not my place.

And Big Kev said, I need to break this up. This is not right. So I said, all right, Kevin, but please don't throw fists and stuff because you will be the one blamed. And me and your son will go to court and defend you all the way to the end. And he walked up to the front and separated my brother and this young family member and moved it all out there to the lobby. Still heard the screaming. I had to have that conversation before they broke up the fight. First of all, Kevin Hunter can't fight.

That's number one. All right. Number two, none of y'all phones work. Does this have to play out publicly? Like, y'all grown as hell. Tommy shouldn't be on social media with this. Wendy shouldn't be on TV with this. That's y'all family business. And I promise you, we don't care. Okay?

I will say, though, pretending to like people is exhausting. Family member, coworkers, if I don't like you, we don't have to pretend. But there's no need to drag each other's names through the mud for something that can be handled behind the scenes. Now, Wendy also talked about a conversation she had with her son after the ordeal, and she wanted to make sure that her son was aware they were not going to be getting back together, but they did all go out to eat. Before going back to my sisters, I said to my son, I said, you know, your dad is really something

else. I don't want to mislead you or guide you into thinking that we're getting. He said, Mom, I know. I said, you want to just the three of us go out and grab something to eat and also bring stuff over to Aunt Wanda's? Do you want to just like change the mood and celebrate family and find it in our hearts to kind of not forgive, but move on in the name of the service. And my son said, yeah. If I know Wendy like I used to know Wendy, she's highly upset that none of this is happening next week

when her movie and documentary premieres on Lifetime. This is a great promo for all of that. It is. I'm sure it's hard. Her mother just died. I mean, well, she died a while, but they just had these services for her mom. I'm sure it's painful. Nobody wants

to think about this, I would think. Right? I don't want to put that on anybody. That's her mom. All at a funeral. That can't be an easy thing to have to deal with. All right.

Now, Nas recently joined Rick Rubin on his Broken Records podcast. And one thing that he talked about was his feud with Jay-Z and how it was an honor. The art of emceeing was right there on full display. I was honored to have that part of my life happen because that's how I saw the great Stuart coming up. I saw some of the great Stuart.

When you're trying to make the best stuff you can make and you bump heads with another MC and then you guys have a war or whatever, that's what this art form was since the beginning. I loved it. One of the greatest hip-hop battles of all time. Okay, two MCs going at it in their prime, and both of them came out better than before.

Nobody got hurt, nobody got killed, just music. And all these years later, I think we can all say without a shadow of a doubt that Hov won, but that's just my personal opinion. All right, and Vogue is going to put out a second Kamala Harris cover after the backlash from the cover of that February issue. Yes. They decided to put out an alternate version of the magazine with a different photo.

If you want to get that photo, you can order it online. Is somebody other than Doug going to do the makeup and hair this time? Who's going to like somebody? What are you going to do? By the way, she's not a fashionista. I don't understand why people got upset. They gave us Kamala Harris, who she is, on that cover.

What did y'all want? A little clarity. It looked clear. It just wasn't a good picture. She could be who she is, but it just didn't look like... Vogue has a standard of their covers, and so you don't want to go below that standard for the first ever female vice president. I thought she looked fine.

Y'all not going to be happy until she do the busted challenge. Y'all want to see her in full makeup and hair. It looked like they shot it on a flip phone. I don't think it was about that. I think it was about the background. It didn't look good. It didn't look like they even hired somebody to do the shoot. That's y'all opinion.

I didn't think that was the world's opinion. Her team wasn't happy with it either. That wasn't even the picture they picked. And that was ridiculous for them to be upset about a goddamn Vogue cover at a time like that. We just had a freaking insurrection at Capitol Hill, but they worried about a Vogue cover. That's what they choose to be upset about? Come on, man. I think it's representative of like

let's show the woman some respect and give it that standard that Vogue has. I don't respect her because of how she looks. I respect who she is. I don't think it's about looks. It's how the whole picture looked. You just said it was about looks. And no, I said how it looks.

The standard of what their covers look like, not how she looks. You don't understand like the background and the fact that they told her team that they were using a different picture and then use a completely other one than what they told and they were blindsided I mean if that's what they want that's what they did and now we're getting a different cover for our madam vice president all right and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West marriage issues will be featured on keeping up with the Kardashians. And Page Six has revealed that. So even though they've been saying that they want to keep their life and all their issues off the TV

and Kanye didn't want to be part of that, looks like that's going to be happening. So it's the final season. I guess you'll get to see some of what's, what's supposed to be private. But I guess none of that's private anymore. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee.
