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.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.
We need help!
That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series,
The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast
Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into
their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.
Have grace with yourself.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never
heard her before. Listen to
On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the
iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm talking right now. You're about to experience a morning show unlike any other. Shout out to the Breakfast Club.
I love to see y'all every morning.
What you guys are doing right now, it's the hub culture.
The Breakfast Club is my morning sit.
I need it and I love it so much.
I feel like you're really not popping until you do the Breakfast Club.
I've been waiting to come to y'all's show, man.
I know you got to be a big time celebrity to be up in here.
You got to be big time.
G.J. Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God.
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Break the f*** out.
Good morning, USA. Yep, peace to the planet It's Thursday What the hell is Envy at?
I have to keep reminding everybody and myself
What day it is
Envy is having problems connecting
Because all of us are broadcasting from at home
Broadcasting from the crib
Some technical difficulties
I couldn't sleep last night
Why?
I think I took my vitamins yesterday
Kind of too late
And whenever I do that It makes me stay up And I was thinking maybe I'll just be really tired I think I took my vitamins yesterday kind of too late.
And whenever I do that, it makes me stay up all night. And I was thinking maybe I'll just be really tired.
I'll fall asleep.
But last night, it just wasn't happening for me for whatever reason.
Some of the nights be restless, especially being that we have the blessing and the privilege
and the comfort of going right downstairs probably to in our houses and getting on the show
that can make you that can make you play with time a little bit when you got to get up and drive into
work in the morning you you're a little bit more disciplined about when you go to sleep
that I tried I was just laying there I tried I was in bed at a good time I was like all right
I'm gonna go to bed you know I gotta get up at five o'clock, 530 and go downstairs. And I just for some reason couldn't sleep.
But I did a lot of stuff yesterday.
Shout out to Claudia Jordan.
Shout out to Kyle from GCI in Chicago.
I was doing a Fox Soul with Claudia and with Donnie and Mike Hill.
And then I did a Instagram live chat with Kyle in Chicago.
And so I think like coming up, everybody's doing interviews on Instagram live.
They're using Zoom. Everybody's doing those things.
We did our Zoom yesterday, our test.
Yeah, I did a I did a virtual summit yesterday with Essence.
Essence had a virtual summit yesterday, just basically, you know, checking on people's mental health, their mental wealth during this quarantine time.
So from like two o'clock to two thirty, I had a conversation about how to sustain and maintain during this quarantine.
So that was interesting as well. I just hope that I hope this doesn't become the norm, though.
Like I like all the virtual stuff, but I still like, you know, being with people in the flesh,
actually connecting with them
and looking them in the eye and having a real
conversation. So I hope this doesn't become
a thing for you. Well, people are just adapting.
Yeah, people are just adapting, though. You know, you have to.
You can't just be like, well, can't do anything.
You just have to adapt to what's going on
at the time. Another thing,
I went to the supermarket yesterday because
I've been making smoothies, like, non-stop at home.
So I keep running out of things. So I was like, all right, let me go to the supermarket and stock
up for the week. So as I was going in, so were a lot of firefighters at the same time, like six of
them. So shout out to our firefighters who are still out here working. I guess they were buying
a bunch of food for the fire station so they can cook while they're there. And yeah, it was, you
know, I've been making myself like these
little dessert smoothies now. Instead of using
regular almond milk or coconut milk,
I've been using chocolate. And then
that's like a little special treat for myself. I use
the chocolate coconut milk and then I put
strawberries and bananas in it.
It's like a little healthy treat.
Just a little healthy treat. That sounds
tasty. Did you watch the battle last night between
Manny Fresh and Scott Storch?
Yeah, man, that was amazing.
That was one I didn't anticipate.
I wasn't anticipating it, but when you look at it on paper,
those were two heavyweights with a lot of, well,
Scott Storch has a lot of hit records.
Manny Fresh has hit records,
but then he also has those records that the hood love.
For somebody like me,
who grew up in Moncks Corner, South Carolina,
and have, you know, bought a woman a pair of soldieries
a couple times in my life,
the Reebok classics with the gumsoles,
those records hit a little bit different for me.
I saw people were like,
why didn't Manny Fresh do all the hits too?
Because he didn't even do all his hits.
He left about six big monster records on the table all his hits. He left about six big monster records
on the table.
He did.
He left about six
big monster.
I mean, he didn't play
number one stunner.
He didn't play
Juvenile Set It Off.
He didn't play Juvenile
I Got That Fire.
He didn't play
Big Timer's Big Ballin'.
He didn't play
Cash Money Is An Army.
He didn't play
What Happened To That Boy.
Since people are getting
so much credit
for co-production.
Because Scott Storch
played about six records, five of which Dr. are getting so much credit for co-production. Scott Storch played about six records,
five of which Dr. Dre has been getting credit
for his whole life. One, Timberland
got credit for Cry Me a River, and he played
that in his battle against Swish Beast twice, but
I don't know. We'll talk about that later.
And then T-Pain vs. Lil Jon is happening
Saturday? I don't know how I feel
about that one yet. I love Lil Jon. I mean, I love
T-Pain as well. Lil Jon I listen to literally
every day because that's my workout music. I love
crunk music. That's my playlist. But I
don't know. I don't know how I feel about
that one because I don't know what the battle is.
Because T-Pain is not a producer.
Right? I don't know.
I guess we'll see. T-Pain is
a songwriter. Lil Jon is a
producer. So I don't
know. I got to see what the battle consists
of. If it's just hits, I got to go with Lil Jon on't know. I got to see what the battle consists of. If it's just hits,
I got to go with Lil Jon on that one.
I want to hear some Dancehall sound clashes.
This would be a good time for some,
and there might be some going on.
If there are, y'all please let me know
if there's some Dancehall sound clashes
because Dancehall,
they do these competitions all the time
with different crew members.
That's what we need right now.
But let's get it started.
Yes, what you got in front page news, G?
You already know we're going to be talking about what's happening.
We'll talk about stay-at-home orders.
This is going to be a national thing.
And then they're also saying there's different types of tests when it comes to coronavirus.
And we'll tell you about a new one they're saying could be available within this month.
Okay, and we got my man, because we all need spiritual advisors at this time, spiritual leaders at this time.
We got Pastor John Gray checking in this morning.
That's my guy.
Yes, as well as Senator Kevin Parker will be checking in also.
And that's to let us know about the U.S. Census.
We had some questions yesterday, and we need some answers because it was National Census Day yesterday.
And you have until August 14th to fill out your census.
Some people are nervous.
Some people don't want to do it.
So we'll explain that.
You know, the Breakfast Club is the perfect balance of ratchetness and righteousness.
This morning, we got righteousness for you and information, okay?
Greatest morning show in the world.
It's the Breakfast Club. you can tell me. Yeah. When I had a job, South Street wealthy.
Hey, yep.
It's the world's most dangerous morning show,
The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God,
Angela Yee, DJ Envy.
Envy is caught in traffic.
He's running a little late.
He's caught in traffic
between his kitchen
and his office.
So I guess he'll be here shortly.
Shout out to Norrie.
He's already checked in.
He said to let you know
that T-Pain produces as well.
Yeah, but T-Pain don't produce like
Lil Jon, though, man. We talking about... Good morning, guys.
Oh, you're here. You decided to
join us. Good morning, sir.
And Lil Jon has hits
as hits and hits. People forget
how many hits he has.
It's disrespectful the way y'all
even just talk about certain artists
from the South. The East Coast bias is just so disgusting sometimes.
Lil Jon had crunk music, the snap music era.
Like, come on, bro.
You said the East Coast bias.
T-Pain's from the South, too?
What are you talking about?
They both from the South.
Oh, no, I'm just talking about in reference to even the Manny Fresh, Scott Storch thing.
That was disgusting.
The East Coast bias in that IG Live was disgusting last night.
No, Scott Storch really won that one.
You guys, we got to do front page news.
Oh, I'm sorry. Let's get into
front page news.
Alright, Donald Trump. A lot of people are saying,
is there going to be a nationwide stay at home
order? Well, here's what he had to say in response
to that. There are some states that are different.
There are some states that don't have
much of a problem. They don't have
thousands of people that are positive
with thousands of people that even
think they might
have it. So you have to look, you have to look at states, you have to give a little bit of
flexibility. We're really here to help governors. They're the front line of attack.
We all started off not really having too many cases, though. And then.
Yeah, I mean, I told y'all a couple of weeks ago, the problem with Donald Trump is people
look at Donald Trump and they see somebody who moves moves like a dictator who moves like he's a king and not a president he shows bias towards
people so nobody gonna listen when he says to stay for everybody to stay home because it sounds like
martial law if it was barack obama or somebody people trusted a little bit more they would stay
home they would yeah but it's getting ridiculous now people are dying at alarming numbers like
come on now you ain't even gotta listen to him you should just see what's going on in the world
i'm with you i'm with you 100%.
Stay your ass on so we can flatten this curve and get back outside.
And Donald Trump says the administration, however, may cut off air travel to coronavirus hot spots.
So he's saying that one is a very tough one.
You have some cases going to hot spots to hot spots.
He said once you do that, you're really clamping down an industry that is desperately needed.
So I don't know what the plan is for that, but he said they're thinking about it and a move
would be like, that would be very tough. Now, U.S. health experts are also saying that there is a
coronavirus antibody test that could be available within this month. And so what that would show is
if you have antibodies in your blood and that would identify people who have already had the
virus, but have since recovered. You know, there's a lot of people that would identify people who have already had the virus,
but have since recovered.
You know, there's a lot of people that are like,
I think I had it,
or I was a little sick at this time,
but I don't know if I had it or not.
So this could show you that you have antibodies
that were formed because you did have it.
Interesting.
That's what they use to make vaccines, right?
Antibodies?
You said, oh, that's what they, you had to help build those up so that you have some type of immunity to it.
And so that would show that you might likely have a built up immunity and that your chances of being affected again do drop dramatically if you do have that, those antibodies.
But they are saying that there's additional evidence that the coronavirus spreads before the symptoms are even present.
So before you even know you have it, some people are like, oh, I'm fine.
You could still be spreading it without any symptoms.
So just keep that in mind.
All right.
And that is your front page news.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
Now, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.

Good morning.

Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Laudonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.
Listen to Escape from Zakistan.

their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.
Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app,

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions,
but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
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.
You're trying your best.
And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.
Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.
You better have the same energy.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Chandler from Columbus, Ohio.
Chandler, what's up, brother?
How's everything, bro?
I'm doing good.
How y'all doing this morning?
Peace, King.
Doing well, bro.
Get it off your chest, man.
I'm kind of, well, first off, shout out to DJ Young
because his lives be lit.
But I'm kind of about to not slander y'all,
but how y'all going to tell us to stay inside for Corona?
And Charlamagne, you'd be going to the grocery store and doing all that other stuff.
I went to the grocery store one time in two weeks,
and they say that the grocery store is an essential visit, a run, or whatever you call it.
Okay, I'll give you that.
DJ Envy, I see you on your Instagram.
Y'all be outside doing backflips off the car and on the trampoline and stuff like that.
You don't be outside either.
You know that's my property, sir.
There's nobody that comes on my property at all.
Yeah, nobody said you can't go outside.
This ain't Bird Box.
Outside the gate.
Yeah, we outside on our own property.
This ain't Bird Box, bro.
You can go outside.
I'm just saying, Angela, you definitely got corona.
You be having get-togethers.
You be going outside to the juice bar and doing all that stuff.
So all three of y'all probably got it.
So y'all can't tell us not to go outside.
Y'all be outside.
We don't say don't go outside.
We say if you go outside, stay in your backyard or your porch.
You're putting out a lot of misinformation.
I have not been outside.
I went to the grocery store once since.
When do we start doing this?
How long have we been broadcasting from home?
Almost two weeks.
For about a week.
Almost two weeks.
I went to the grocery store once in two weeks.
That's an essential run.
I'm telling y'all, if I find out all three of y'all get coronavirus, I'm calling and
I'm slandering y'all. Hey, man, stop putting that on us,
man. Okay? Don't put that negative
juju on us, man. I hope you get hemorrhoids.
There's been two people
in my house. I hope you get
hemorrhoids, nigga. I wish hemorrhoids
on your life. I wish
hemorrhoids on your life, nigga.
Goodness gracious.
Well, good luck pooping from now on, man.
Jeez.
Good luck pooping.
At least they didn't say
a bloody hemorrhoid.
Hello, who's this?
Angel.
Angel, good morning.
Good morning, guys.
Get it off your chest, mama.
Peace, Angel.
Hey, guys.
Quick question.
Tell me this.
Do you think it would've been
more fair to Manny Fresh
if they would've did, like,
Manny Fresh versus
Jazzy Faith?
Because I think, like,
I was rocking with Manny like he had it lit, but then how Scott Storch was coming back did, like, Manny Fresh versus Jazzy Faith. Because I think, like, I was rocking with Manny.
Like, he had it lit.
But then how Scott Storch was coming back with, like, the real bangers,
I think, you think it would have been more fair?
I think Manny Fresh versus, it was a good battle,
but Manny Fresh versus Juicy J would have been good.
But I think it was just a matter of styles.
Like, if you grew up in the South and you was, like, in the clubs around that era,
then those Manny Fresh records hit a little bit different.
Where you from?
I'm from L.A.
Oh, you from L.A.
And then another question.
They should have did Scott Stork versus Pharrell just because of how the comments was, like,
dogging Manny.
I was like, Scott Stork versus Pharrell would have been more fair, too.
It was disrespectful.
You got a future voice.
You got a future voice, Timmy.
You got a future voice, Timmy. You got a future voice,
Timmy.
But I thought I wanted
to ask you guys.
I just think his order
was messed up.
I think the way he laid out
his records were off.
And he left six big records
on the table.
It was originally
supposed to be
Manny,
it was supposed to be
Scott Storch versus T-Pain
and then Manny fresh stepped in.
That wasn't a battle.
That was going to be worse.
And that's what I'm saying.
T-Pain tweeted that
Swiss Beats and Timbaland
said it wouldn't make no sense
to have a songwriter
versus a producer.
But I'm like,
it's the same thing with Lil Jon.
So I don't understand the logic.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty
on the iHeartRadio app,

or wherever you get your podcasts. That's a real crazy right now with this whole little virus thing. We got all these positive cases. Might be some huge jobs, but we ain't getting no hazard pay.
These fools, they ain't, they ain't even attempting.
The most they doing is don't come to work, you don't get in trouble,
but you ain't getting paid for it.
All right, man.
You got us working close-knit quarters with a bunch of people all day,
every day.
It's the same, man.
I'm going to be honest with you.
That's got to be a very tough decision to make every day
to get up and say,
do I go to work,
get this money
so I can pay my bills,
pay my rent,
pay my mortgage,
whatever it is,
or do I protect my health
and my family's health
and stay home?
That's got to be
a very difficult decision.
Yeah, that's like,
it's insane.
I got...
That is...
I don't know what I do.
I see a lot of people
sleeping in their garage so they don't actually have to come in their house. I see a lot of people Sleeping in their garage
So they don't actually
Have to come in their house
I seen a doctor
Had a tent in his garage
Where he just lived there
So he doesn't
He doesn't bring it back in
You say you got a nephew
That got asthma?
Yeah real bad
I ain't trying to break

Damn man
I saw a story yesterday
About a 90 year old woman

I've had a great life already
I saw that

Markita good morning
get it off your chest
first I want to give a shout out
to my son
it's his fifth birthday today
happy birthday
happy birthday young king and I also want to shout out to my son. It's his fifth birthday today. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, young king.
And I also wanted to shout out to the people who are still working, still out here risking their lives.
I built surgery kits for a living.
Other than the coronavirus, there's still other things that's going on in people's, you know, health.
So we're still building, like, heart surgery kits and stuff like that. Damn.
Salute to y'all, man.
Absolutely. Healthcare workers.
And we in a hot spot.
I'm trying to figure out how to do something for hazardous
workers, like at least get them, you know,
more PPE. I don't know what the situation
is with the PPE. I don't know if it's enough
and if it's enough to go around
because I know that they're manufacturing
some more respirators, but I just want to know how to get
healthcare workers gowns
and masks.
There's definitely not enough to go around.
They just now
stopped shipping overseas
PPE just to make sure they have that here.
They just made an order to stop shipping
stuff overseas, but they are definitely running
out. I know in New York, there's an
absolute shortage.
Well, I want to figure out a way
to help healthcare workers get it.
No, we have gowns here,
and I was trying to figure out,
like, they're not answering
any of our questions.
I'm trying to figure out
if we're sending out some of the gowns
we have that are going to, like,
other kits to the people
who actually, you know,
like, really risking their lives.
They don't use anything, so.
Well, thank you for checking in. We really appreciate
you, Mama. And we appreciate your service.
Absolutely.
800-585-1051. If you need to
vent, you can hit us up at any time. Now, we got rumors
on the way, Yee? Well, since you guys want to talk
about helping to provide resources
for our hospital professionals,

that, and this person is
going to assist in providing mask gloves and PPE kits to healthcare professionals. We'll tell you what he's doing. All right. We'll talk about somebody who is doing just that. And this person is going to assist in providing mask gloves and PPE kits to health care professionals.

They said now he is breathing on his own
And he has no symptoms showing
Of the potentially deadly coronavirus
He was testing positive
For the virus just on Saturday
They believe he was infected at Rikers Island, where he was briefly locked up.
All right.
He didn't heal so fast.
We don't know that he's healed.
He just doesn't have the symptoms anymore.
So, you know.
Now, Tekashi69, he's been denied early release.
You know, he was trying to get out early because they said he was nervous that he would get coronavirus.
And right now they are saying, no, you have to stay there.
That early release was denied.
The judge also said, had he known at the time of his sentencing, there would be a global pandemic.
Then the court would have directed the final four months to be served in home confinement.
But he's not going to get out early.
That's right.
If they do that for him, then they got to do that for everybody else.
Like everybody should get that same treatment.
Anybody that's getting out in, you know, August or June, they should be sent to home confinement too.
I thought that's what they were doing. I thought they were letting people out.
Yeah, they actually have released a lot of people already.
Yeah.
So it wouldn't be just him, but the judge said his hands are tied right now.
Just legally, he can't really do that.
Now, Bill Cosby's trying to get out of jail thanks to coronavirus.
His lawyers are getting ready to file a motion to get him put on house arrest because of the pandemic.
And they said one of the prison guards where Bill Cosby is has tested positive for coronavirus.
And that's why they're asking for this.
Bill Cosby is serving three to ten years right now. So a spokesperson for Bill Cosby said, we believe it's only a matter of time
before Mr. Cosby's prison
likely falls victim to the virus.
Such a confined space is the perfect place
for a virus to spread rapidly.
It is hazardous to the prison staff
and vulnerable inmates.
I wonder if the inmates can sue.
Like, can the inmates sue
if they know that, you know,
one of the guards,
one of the CEOs had it
and, you know, the prison
didn't take the proper precautions
to make sure everybody else didn't get it on if they could sue the jail.
I'm sure they're doing that now, though.
I'm sure they're taking the precautions, wiping everything down, wearing masks.
But, I mean, it's kind of like they say, like the flu,
you can get it regardless, right?
Yeah, so, listen, not sure.
This is all something new, so I guess we'll see what happens.
Now, R. Kelly, Kelly in the meantime is in trouble
again and that is for
allegedly knowingly giving
two different women herpes.
According to prosecutors they claim on
Monday that he initially met these women at one
of his shows and then arranged for
one woman to travel to Long Island
to watch one of his performances.
Then after that they were in a hotel
room and they had unprotected sex.
And he did give he did allegedly give her herpes.
According to reports, he did know that he had herpes and he was instructed to let any of his future partners know ahead of time.
So you're supposed to tell somebody again before you give them potentially give them herpes.
So now she is suing for that.
And there's another young girl who said she was underage at the time,
and she also was exposed to herpes,
but they have not specified whether or not she contracted the disease.
But the first woman in this case did contract the disease.
The spread of herpes has got to have slowed down in the past couple of weeks, though,
because of social distancing, right?
Because people are not just randomly hooking up.
So the spread of like herpes, chlamydia, gonorrhea, that had to flatten, right?
I'm sure.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
And Jesse Smollett, he is back on social media.
He has broken his silence and he posted himself singing.
It's the first time he's posted anything in over nine months.
Listen to this. Like this tight troubled earth I've been roaming since my birth
Moving on
He lying.
I don't believe anything that comes out of his mouth.
He lying.
I wish him the best because he's a black man.
He's just singing, bro.
No, he was lip syncing.
Okay, he was lip syncing.
That wasn't even him.
That was them two big diesel Nigerians singing.
I know Nigerian voices when I hear them.
That man was not singing just now.
He was lip syncing.
He was lip syncing.
I wish Jesse the best because he's a black man and I want to see him win.
But he's that guy in your family that's just very hard to trust right now.
He was lip syncing.
I don't believe that was him.
Well, he said he's been under quarantine for 421 days basically already.
And then he said, hope y'all are staying safe, spread love and kindness.
Not Rona.
Okay.
Yeah, but he wasn't quarantining because of coronavirus.
He was quarantining because of the dumbass virus.
Okay.
Exactly.
That's what he was.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
Now, when we come back, we got front page news.
So don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Where we starting, Yee?
Oh, yeah, we are doing front page news.
And let's start with the rent.
The rent was due for a lot of people yesterday for the first time since the coronavirus outbreak has erupted the way that it has.
So what is going to happen now?
Well, what's happening?
Because as you know, 3.3 million Americans, a record number of Americans have filed for
unemployment. Some people simply just don't have the money. If they're telling you to stay at home,
a lot of people can't work, right? So right now, some states are barring evictions for a few weeks.
Some of them are saying it's going to be for the duration of the state of emergency issued
in certain states. Some states are barring all evictions. Some are saying only in cases where the tenant has been diagnosed with
coronavirus or suffered from a job loss because of it. State Supreme Courts have stepped in. Some
have postponed all non-emergency court hearings, which means that there can't be any landlord
tenant disputes. So that means you don't have to worry about getting kicked out right now.
Other people have said that judges cannot issue eviction orders so it depends on what state you're in so make sure
you check and see what state you're in to see what the actual law is there yeah you're gonna have a
bunch of people pretending to have coronavirus god damn it i would put a sign on my door and say look
uh self-quarantine and stay away until june envy you had a good point last week, though. You said that why people can't pay rent
if the banks don't show leniency to the owners.
What did you say?
I said, yeah, no, I said the banks have to show leniency
to the owners as well,
because if you own a bunch of properties
and people can't pay you, how do you pay your mortgage?
So it has to be lenient all the way around.
And I'm telling people, like, if you have a problem,
don't just not pay.
Make a call. Call your landlord. Call the mortgage company. Call your car company. All of them, even your credit card companies, they are helping people out right now. And they're not just
going to say you ain't never got to pay it, but they're saying they're deferring a lot of the
payments and helping people out. So definitely make those calls. But if tenants can't pay,
landlords can't pay. So it has to be lenient around the whole board.
So it has to be a circle of compassion, basically. It has to be a collective.
It has to be collective compassion amongst everybody.
It does.
And I do feel like if you are, however, still getting paid and still can't pay your rent,
this doesn't mean, OK, I just don't got to pay my rent.
Because some people are doing that, too, and saying, I'm just not going to pay because nobody's paying.
But if you can do it, then you should.
Because not paying your rent right now doesn't mean you don't have to pay it at all.
A lot of times people are taking off all kinds of fees and interest and all of that so that you have some time to pay it.
But that doesn't mean you never have to pay it for some people.
Yeah, now's not the time to take advantage of the system.
If you're working and you can pay your rent, pay your rent.
But this is for people who can't, who actually have who physically cannot pay their rent on
hardships right now. And I've heard some stories
of some landlords asking for actual
proof that you've lost your job
or that you've been sick. Sneeze on them.
And they want to know, like,
okay, you don't have the money.
They're asking for proof, but, you know, I don't know.
This is going to, and it's causing confusion
because it is different state by state
as far as what's happening. But now is not the time to evict anybody.
Just cough on you.
So we all agree on that.
All right.
And Donald Trump is talking about whether or not there is going to be a nationwide shutdown stay at home order.
Here's what he had to say.
There are some states that are different.
There are some states that don't have much of a problem. They don't have thousands of people that are positive with thousands of people that even think they might
have it. So you have to look at states. You have to give a little bit of flexibility.
We're really here to help governors. They're the front line of attack.
You know, if Donald Trump was a different kind of president, you know, the kind of president
that doesn't seem like a racist bigot, People would listen to him when he tells everybody to stay home. Like they could do a government,
a nationwide shutdown and people would listen, listen. But being that he comes off as a dictator,
it seems like martial law and nobody wants to, you know, be under a regime like that. But if
that was a different type of president, a Barack Obama type, people would listen when he says
everybody stay home. They wouldn't feel like their civil liberties are being taken away.
Now, in New York City, hospitals need millions more N95 masks and surgical masks by Sunday.
They're saying right now we need 3.3 million N95 masks, 2.1 million surgical masks, 100,000 isolation gowns and 400 ventilators by this coming Sunday.
Now, this was Mayor Bill de Blasio speaking at a press conference that happened yesterday.
He said the city also needs an additional 2,500 to 3,000 ventilators over the course of next week as well.
He's been warning people since last week that they're saying Sunday is a crucial day for New York.
He expects the demands to continue to increase in the following weeks as well.
So that's why a lot of these donations that have been happening are necessary. And anybody that
knows anyone that can do their part or you can do your part, you know, this is the time to step up.
And also never forget that the celebrity in chief Donald Trump back in February sent 17.5 tons of
PPE to China after being warned by the World Health Organization that the coronavirus was a threat to America.
So all the equipment and stuff that they don't have now, they could have had.
But Mr. America First, Donald Trump, sent everything to China back in February.
But what's the website?
Oh, go ahead. I'm sorry.
You go ahead.
No, I was going to say, what's the website that Khaled is donating to?
Because I want to help
With the PPE as well
I thought it was
Direct
Relief
Direct relief
Direct relief
Dot org
So you can go there
And make a donation
And you know
They help to get PPE
To the hospitals right
Yeah they help
Get PPE
Supplies
Medical supplies
Not just face masks
And all that other stuff
Doses of medicine and all that stuff.
Decided to get into
socialrelief.org. And the nation's
top coronavirus expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci,
we've been hearing him speak pretty much every day.
They're saying he has to force up,
he's been forced to beef up security
because he's been getting death threats.
So not sure why he would be
getting death threats at a time like this,
but now he has to have personal security from law enforcement at all times, even at his own home. What? Who would
Kim talk to Fauci death threats? Why? You know, people are trying to say that he's disagreeing
with Donald Trump. The two of them are bumping heads. And yeah, he's just telling it like it is.
And he's even the one that's like, let's stop trying to act like we have issues with each other.
That's just not true.
Da-da-da-da-da.
So I don't know.
You know, there's some people out there that just, I guess, for some reason.
Why would a medical doctor, an infectious disease expert, agree with a man who said that the coronavirus was a hoax?
Why?
Of course he's going to disagree with Donald Trump.
That's why Donald Trump gets the hell out of the way
And lets Dr. Fauci talk now
Because that's what he should have been doing from the beginning
If he would have been doing that from the beginning
Then he would have never probably uttered the words
This is a hoax
We got it under control
Because clearly they don't
Alright well that is your front page news
Alright and let me just tell you
Directrelief.org
Their mission statement which is pretty dope
Healthy people better world
that means all people regardless of politics religion or ability to pay improving their lives
is direct relief's mission so you can go on there and again donate or get involved or whatever you
need but do they get ppe to the hospitals that's what i want i want to make sure that these health
care workers get the proper equipment they need i i've already donated the organizations yes
you know help people get food
and put money in people's pockets.
It says delivering protective gear to
safeguard health workers and supplying
medical items for critical patient care.
So yes, they get PPE to
safeguard health workers.
I'm here for that. I'm going to donate to that too.
Alright.
Alright, when we come back
we're going to be kicking it with Pastor John Gray.
We're going to talk to him when we come back.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
E-J-M-V, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest on the line and on Zoom right now.
We got our brother, Pastor John Gray.
Welcome. What's going on, Pastor John Gray. Welcome.
What's going on, man? How you feel?
First of all, you feel
better than me because I'm looking at you and you got a fresh
baldie, so clearly you know how to use clippers
and you know how to use a straight razor.
A fresh Gillette Mach 3.
Actually, it's a fusion proglide.
Damn. See, I never
got blessed with those skills as a child. My father
didn't teach me how to properly shave my head or my face.
So how's it going, man? How's everything going out by where you're at, bro?
You know what? I think everybody is still shell-shocked, if I can be honest.
Nobody anticipated anything like this in our lifetimes.
So, you know, there's really no template for this.
You know, in times of national crisis, you know, we have a template for something horrific like a 9-11.
I lived in New Jersey when that was happening.
I was a youth pastor.
So I was there at the church when people were coming in with debris from the tower still on them.
And we navigated that.
But this, you can't fight this enemy.
Right.
What do you think God is currently trying to show us right now?
Wow.
This is a deep moment for me because I have a lot to say about that.
And let me say this.
I don't believe God sent this.
I do believe in the idea of good and evil.
I believe in God and the devil.
I believe that evil is real.
Anything that takes your breath away in this form didn't come from God.
I don't believe this was God.
I believe this was a response to the brokenness and the arrogance and the pride of who we are across the globe.
We've been unkind.
We've been wicked to one another.
We haven't done right by one another.
We have not treated each other with honor and dignity. We've dishonored the planet. I mean, I could go on and on,
but from a spiritual standpoint, I believe this is a wake-up call for the church,
because I think the church, and I'm not bashing the church because I'm a part of it,
but the truth is too much of church is commoditized
and is rooted in business and not so much the poor people
and the broken people and the lost people and the hurting people
that need to know that there is love
and that there is a real hope beyond their current circumstance.
And I think that this is a wake-up call for the church
to get back to the business of meeting the needs of people.
Now, Pastor John Gray, I saw a couple of pastors had gotten arrested
because they were still hosting these large congregations,
even in the midst of all this.
So what are your thoughts on that?
I see you've been doing drive-thrus where people can drive up
and actually go to church and stay in their cars safely,
which is a good way for you to adapt to this.
But what are your thoughts on that?
I think that it is unwise for you to put people in harm's way to prove a point. COVID-19 is a
real thing. Now, the book of Romans 13 says to honor the laws of the land or to honor the
authority, the authorities that have been set over you. So to say that because I'm a person of faith, I'm not going to listen,
is not only non-biblical in that regard,
it's also incredibly short-sighted in that, you know,
if somebody gets sick on your watch and God doesn't heal them the way you say
they should be healed or are going to be healed,
then now that blood is on your hands.
When you can simply get on a computer like this, I'm not going to take a chance.
Before the state of South Carolina told us social distancing is a requirement, we shut the church down.
And the truth is, let's just be honest, I think there is a part of it that is a financial consideration.
It's not just faith, because a lot of churches rely on the donations of their members. And in a nonprofit world where there are limited resources, sometimes,
not every time, but sometimes that's a motivating factor. I do not know these things,
but I do know that the Bible makes it clear that we need to honor the authorities.
Now, what is the church doing to help people? You know, a lot of people, they give all year long, but now it's a tough time for people. They can't pay mortgage. They
can't pay rent, can't pay cell phone, water, electric. How is the church helping those people
that have been giving so much? For us, my wife and I started something called Drive-By Blessing.
You know, you drive up to the church all the time, you come in, and it's almost like a,
it literally is a commoditized
system. And if I can be honest, I've
been telling our church for close to
a year, I sensed something
was coming. You can look back at some of the sermons
and I was like, y'all need to start getting toilet
tissue, canned goods,
water. How did you know so early?
God told them.
Hey,
see, I'm just going to tell it like this.
I've been feeling it for a long time, and I'll tell you why.
Since this is the Breakfast Club, I can kind of tell the truth.
I feel like an outsider sometimes in the church system because I've been a part of it for so long.
And I feel like God was waking me up to the reality that this doesn't look like the New Testament.
You know, all of the things that we do and a lot of the stuff that the church is known for doesn't look like the New Testament. You know, all of the things that we do and a lot of the stuff that the church is known for
doesn't look like the original church.
The original church was persecuted.
The original church lived in constant fear
of the fact that they could lose their life for their faith.
And it grew from house to house, not building to building.
Because Jesus didn't die for no building.
He died for the souls of broken people.
So I felt like God was going to do away with this church system as usual.
I didn't know how, but I said something was coming,
and people from big cities were going to have to start flocking to other places,
and I felt like you need to be ready to take care of your family.
And I felt like a fool, if I could be honest,
because you sound like a goofy doomsday prophet,
but then all of a sudden,
it hits. And so for me, what we're doing through our outreach is drive-by blessings. So
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Sundays, every morning to the afternoon, we give away groceries.
We sanitize them. There's a company called House of Rayford. They sell chicken, or they don't sell,
they give chicken to our church
to make sure that we're able to provide for people.
And so we've got volunteers and our staff sanitizing the groceries, putting them in bags,
and all you have to do is drive up.
And then a local Little Caesars gives us pizza.
So we give pizza, groceries, detergent, baby wipes, formula, whatever you need.
And of course, it's free.
You're one of the first pastors I saw do that, though, Pastor John.
Even when the church was open, you would let people actually walk up to the stage
and take money out of the offering plate.
Yeah, I've always felt that way.
I mean, I just became, you know, like a senior pastor.
So for me, it was like, if I could do church the way I see it, what would I do?
I have a heart for single parents.
I have a heart for the elderly.
I have a heart for the veterans.
So our church has always been about trying to meet the needs of the people in the community.
We don't have, you know, a bunch of big-time donors.
We just got regular folk who believe in this vision, and they give.
And I feel like if you participate in that, then the church would be available to you to help you meet needs in times of crisis.
We got more with Pastor John Gray. He's on the phone lines.
When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. We're still speaking with Pastor John Gray.
He's on the phone lines right now.
Yee.
How have you been holding up mentally, too?
I know last year was a challenging year for you,
but how have things been for you mentally right now,
and how are you holding up,
and how have things made you stronger?
Wow, Angela, thank you for asking.
It's been one of the most challenging times of my life,
but now I look at it and realize
it was like God getting me ready
for the battle. There are a lot of things mentally that I'm going to need to continue to address.
That's why I am so grateful for Charlemagne's advocacy for African-American men, particularly
to address mental health issues. You know, I dealt with an incident of sexual abuse when I was four years old. I'm 46.
I'm still dealing with the detritus of what happened in that moment.
And I never navigated that outside of prayer and Jesus will fix it.
But what I realized, there is a component of it that is spiritual,
but the other part is practical.
And so I needed counseling.
And so embracing the need for a therapist was a big
deal for me because I needed to figure out why I kept self-destructing and making decisions that
could cause me to lose all the things that I actually love and it was rooted in a deep deep
sense of shame that didn't start with my awareness of it so now from a mental health standpoint, how am I doing mentally?
It's a challenge. You know, we got a lot of employees. I'm concerned about making sure they
have what they need. We got thousands of people who are counting on us for hope. So I can't be
hopeless when they're counting on me for hope. So I'm trying to keep my mind from devolving into
this place of despair. You look, you see a thousand people yesterday died from this thing.
The day before it was only 521.
Now they're saying it could be a quarter of a million people.
And the truth is we're not going back to normal.
Normal is over.
And now what matters?
The people that you love.
And a lot of the things that I thought were important are not important.
I want to ask you a question.
I know you said there's no template for this, right?
But biblically, what story in the Bible most relates to this moment? Well, there's
two. And there's one in the Old Testament and one in the New Testament, and they're both pretty deep.
2 Chronicles 7 and 14 is a scripture that a lot of preachers use. If my people who are called by
my name will humble themselves and pray and speak my faith and turn from their wicked ways.
Then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land. We love that scripture.
But the part we always leave out is the 13th verse that says, when I shut up the heavens and there is no rain, or when I send a plague among my people, or when I allow locusts to devour the
land, if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray.
And so this year alone, we've had a plague of locusts that's happening right now in Africa.
Right now.
And then the worst rush fire in the history of Australia.
And it was because they didn't have the rain to help the firefighters.
So we had this.
We've had droughts.
We've had locusts.
And now we have a global plague.
And then on the other side, Jesus said in Matthew 24, he said in the last days,
there will be nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom,
pestilences in various places, earthquakes, wars and rumors of war.
And he said, but see to it that you are not alarmed for the end is not yet.
This is the beginning of sorrows, which means in the biblical narrative,
Jesus said these things precede the beginning of the end.
And so yesterday you had an earthquake in Idaho that was a 6.5.
Last week you had another earthquake in middle America.
Things that don't even happen.
A 6.5 earthquake in Idaho.
There was a tectonic plate
in Idaho. And so
if you don't believe in
Jesus as Savior, at least
respect him for his prophetic insights.
At a time like this,
do you think we should pray to
be heard or should we pray
and just hope to hear God?
Man, one day you're going to be a great pastor.
I know you don't want to do it.
Who, me?
Yeah, yeah.
Y'all keep telling me that.
I know, man.
I'm telling you.
Because we need something that's real and authentic.
And that's probably a conversation for the offline.
But your voices are refreshing
because you speak to culture. And I think where some of us in the church world have lost credibility
is that we don't speak to culture, we speak at culture. And sometimes when you're talking about
prayer, this is not a time only to talk about what you need. He already knows.
This is a time for us to listen.
There's another scripture that we don't use a lot these days, but it says,
God is in his holy temple.
Let all the earth keep silent, which means there's a moment where God wants you to be quiet and listen.
And this is a listening moment.
This is not a talking moment.
This is God shutting the earth down to redirect us to the things that matter. It's a time to sit still, be humble yourself and be like, what is my life going to look like when this moment is over? I need to refiortize. What do I want to be known for? How do I want to be known as a husband, as a father? I need to address some things in my manhood.
I need to grow up. I also
need to think about,
is my life in order so that
if something were to happen to me,
my kid's college is paid for, my
daughter's college is paid for,
my wife is covered, so she don't have
to go marry somebody. She ain't gonna marry
nobody else. If I go, she gonna stay
single and love Jesus.
Wow.
Did I just hear in the background?
No, he would
want her to be eternally happy
in life. No, I know.
I might have heard a curse
out the background. I agree with you, though.
No, I said, all right,
guys.
So this is the time for us to just listen right now.
Yes.
This is listening mode.
We've said enough, and we've also done enough.
I also will throw this out there.
I believe that the earth is alive.
There's a scripture in Romans 8 that says the earth has been groaning with birth pains until now for the sons of God to be revealed.
And sons in that scripture doesn't mean men.
It means people who have an inheritance in God.
And so it means people who understand what's going on need to step up to the plate,
take their rightful position.
And if you don't, then the earth is going to rebel.
And I believe this is a sign that the earth is saying, enough. And what happened?
A virus put everybody in the house.
Less carbon emissions in the atmosphere in the last three weeks than the last 20 years.
This planet is healing itself while we deal with ourselves.
Now, Pastor, we appreciate you checking in, but I think it's only right that you send us off with a prayer.
Jesus, I want to thank
you for Charlemagne, Envy, Angela. I thank you for the Breakfast Club as you reach culture,
to talk to people who many of us in faith communities don't ever get to reach because
we don't have that credibility with them yet. And I ask that you will continue to give them this
platform. And I ask that you would continue to humble us during this time. But now, Lord, I'm
also asking that you would heal the people in New York and New Jersey and Connecticut and the hot
spots like Detroit and Chicago and L.A. and other areas in Washington state and all over this nation.
There's not one place where someone has
not been impacted, but I'm asking God that you would bless our first responders, our emergency
room physicians and nurse practitioners and respiratory care practitioners and therapists
and all of the frontline people that are literally laying their lives on the line to help other people. I'm praying for this nation, that we will come to our senses, that we will treat each other with
dignity and respect, and that we will honor and reverence this sacred moment of awakening,
that we will not go back to normal or business as usual, but that we will self-reflect and see
if there is something that we can do to add value while we're on this earth.
Thank you for my friends, and thank you for all the people that are listening.
Jesus, bless them all.
Wipe their tears away and give us hope for the future.

It's The Breakfast Club, good morning
Hey, good morning, everybody
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, man.
Did y'all watch the battle last night between Manny Fresh and Scott Storch?
Did y'all watch Scott Storch, Dr. Dre, and Timbaland all jump Manny Fresh last night?
Did y'all see that?
They didn't jump him.
He produced those records.
They definitely jumped him.
Knock it off.
He produced those records.
I think Manny Fresh messed up.
Manny Fresh should have had a...
He should have DJ'd that better.
He played a couple of records that not too many people knew.
He had a lot of hits that he could have played,
and he played records he shouldn't have, I think.
Well, what Manny shouldn't have done, man,
he shouldn't have played Ghetto Children.
He shouldn't have played Mahogany.
He shouldn't have played A Way of Life.
He shouldn't have played Exclusive Lil Wayne.
He shouldn't have played that Rich N Word record.
He should have played Number One Stunner, Set It Off.
He definitely should have played What Happened to That Boy.
Since people are getting credit for collaboration production,
he should have played Set It Off, I Got That Fire,
Big Ballin' by the Big Tommers, and Cash Money is an Army.
That's the records he should have played.
And still Dre, The Watcher, Let Me Blow Your Mind,
Family Affair, Break Your Neck.
That's all Dr. Dre.
Prime Me A River, Prime Meair, Break Your Neck. That's all Dr. Dre. Prime Me A River.
Prime Me A River was Timbaland.
Well, if it's not, then somebody needs to let it be known then.
Somebody needs to step up.
I think maybe that was Scott Storch's way of letting it,
maybe Scott Storch was letting it be known.
I mean, I thought it was known that he played the keys on a lot of them joints.
I thought it was.
If Quentin Miller was in a rap battle and he started rapping Drake verses,
y'all would tell him him get the hell off the stage
Right? So is it your record?
Is it your verse just because you contribute
Some bars or you contribute some keys to it?
That's all I'm saying
We know the records that Manny Fresh produced
He actually produced and Scott Storch is a whole legend
Not taking anything from him
I'm just saying that last night it was like a wrestling match
And Dr. Dre ran in the ring and hit Manny with foreign objects
And then ran back out Then Timbo ran in and hit Manny with foreign objects and then ran back out.
The Timberlake ran in and hit Manny with a foreign object
and ran back out and nobody said anything.
They jumped Manny fresh last night.
I would like to hear what Dr. Dre has to say about it.
Manny played skits going at him.
There was a couple low blows for Manny too though.
That was disrespectful, but listen,
Manny held his own and
he left six huge records on
the table. Number one stunner was a big record.
Set It Off was a big record.
Okay, what happened to that boy?
Big record.
I got that fire.
I mean, I loved I got that fire.
Cash Money is an army better yet a navy?
Come on, man.
But drop on the food, man.
Scott Thorch and Manny Fresh.
It is very entertaining.
Those battles that Swiss Beats and Timber are putting together are very entertaining.
But Fat Joe is so disrespectful to say that Manny Fresh lost 18-2
to Scott Storch. Like, stop.
Stop. Stop, Joey Crack.
Scott Storch did win, but it wasn't
18-2. It wasn't no 18-2.
Come on, Joe.
Stop. Now, the new battle Saturday
is going to be T-Pain and who?
What?
Did you just say who? T-Pain and Lil Jon.
T-Pain and Lil Jon. My T-Pain and Lil Jon My bad
Lil Jon
You New Yorkers
I forgot
I couldn't remember
My God
Now Nori texted me
And said they want him
To battle Joe Button
Nori and Joe Button?
No
I don't know
What you mean
In records?
Yes
Probably not
I don't know
No no no no no no
See see we gotta
Start now
Now we gotta start
Having some criteria I need to know. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. See, see, we got, we got to start now. Now we got to start having some criteria.
I need to know what this is.
If it's, if we're talking about rap and lyrics, Joe Budden washes N-O-R-E.
Nori's my guy.
I thought we were talking songs.
If we're talking songs, Nori washes Joe Budden.
Absolutely.
Okay.
Absolutely.
And I think Lil Jon's going to win that battle Saturday too.
I think Lil Jon's going to win that battle Saturday too I think Lil Jon's gonna win that battle Saturday too
I listen to Lil Jon every day
That's not even an exaggeration
That is my gym playlist
It's all crunk music
I listen to Lil Jon every day
Well there has been some surprises for people
So I think if anything it just showcases people's catalogs
But those you don't know
Alright well let's get to the rumors coming up
What are we talking about in the rumors?
Alicia Keys and her book. There's
some more information on there. Her book,
More Myself, and she's talking about a time
when she felt manipulated.
Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Alicia Keys.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the
Rumor Report with Angela
Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, as you know by now, Alicia
Keys has her new book, More Myself
that is coming out. So I know
we're excited and everybody's looking for things to read
right now. One thing that she is talking about in her book
is a situation where she was actually,
quote, sexually manipulated
by disgraced photographer, Terry Richardson.
When she was a teenager,
she said she felt manipulated and objectified.
According to Alicia Keys,
she said that she was convinced
to be photographed alone with the photographer,
with Terry Richardson. And then allegedly he told her, open up your shirt a little and pull the top
of your jeans down a bit at the front. She said, my spirit is screaming that something is wrong,
that this feels sleazy, but my protest lies in the back of my throat, can't make their way out.
I swallow my misgivings, tuck my thumb between the denim in my skin and obey. She said she went home and cried after that photo shoot. She said, this isn't about
me showing some skin, which I'll do on my own terms for my own purposes in the coming years.
It's about feeling manipulated. It's about being objectified. And she said at the time her manager
was appalled when he saw the magazine cover a few months later. And you can see that magazine cover
also online. And you said see that magazine cover also online.
And you said the photographer is disgraced, right?
I never heard of him.
What does he do to be disgraced?
Terry Richardson advising her to do different things.
You know, he shot for Tom Ford, St. Laurent, Marc Jacobs, Aldo, GQ, Vogue.
Oh, okay, okay.
A bunch of things.
Yeah, but like a very well-known photographer.
And, you know, this happened like years ago.
They said that he had some sexual harassment allegations.
Yes, allegedly he's been multiple sex assault allegations from the New York City Police Department Special Victim Squad.
Okay.
So she said, I swear I'll never again let someone rob me of my power.
It's a promise I still work to keep.
And so when you feel that somebody's trying to tell you to do something that you know is like,
this is not me, this is, feels, you know.
But she was a teenager and she was a new artist.
You live and you learn.
Never let somebody compromise your morals, your values, and your integrity.
All right.
The four Nets players who had coronavirus are now all symptom-free, including Kevin Durant.
So the players had tested positive
on March 17th, and they
quarantined for 14 days. They're still
practicing social distancing protocols,
but they did announce that they
no longer have those symptoms
and they're good to go.
Also, the owner of the Brooklyn Nets, by the way, is still
paying all of their hourly
staff throughout the end of May,
just for everything that they would have been paid if they were still
working the events that were supposed to happen.
They're saying that's going to be at an estimated
cost of $6 million, but they're going
to swallow those costs.
Now maybe I haven't been paying attention. I thought
I was paying attention, but I would like to
I would have liked for Kevin Durant,
the Brooklyn Nets players, even the Utah Jazz
players, I would have liked for them to document
their experiences with coronavirus more,
especially being that all of them are symptom-free now.
I would like to know what are some things that we should look out for.
Well, Kevin Durant was the only one that came forward.
We don't even know who the other three players are.
It's, you know, they haven't revealed who they are.
I'm curious.
I'd like to hear what they took, what they did, like what they, you know,
what the immune system, you know, was it sleep? Revealed who they are I'm curious What they took What they did Like what they You know Yeah Immune system
You know
Was it sleep
Was it
You know
Taking vitamin C
Vitamin D
Zinc
Like what did they do
Nobody's talking about that
I want to hear
The recovery story
The recovery story
Is very important
We get the doom and gloom
All the time
But we need some
We need some cases
For optimism
And I think Kevin Durant
Wasn't really that sick
Like you know
Some people are getting
Really mild cases So they're testing sick Like you know some people are getting really mild cases
So they're testing positive
And you know
Under ordinary circumstances maybe they wouldn't even have went
To the doctor
But you know the NBA they all got tested
So everybody's not like
Andy Cohen was pretty bad right
And now all of a sudden I see him post a picture with his son
And said finally I can see my son again
So what did he do because they said he was in a bad condition
Like what did he take, what what pills what vitamins like tell us something
all right well I'm yeah we're gonna we're gonna talk to some people to get that together but
Wayne Brady in the meantime is living well not really this headline was misleading to me because
it said Wayne Brady's living with his ex-wife and her boyfriend during coronavirus crisis. So he divorced back in 2008
and they have a 17 year old daughter. But really what it is, is they live right next to each other
and they share like the yard space kind of. So here's Wayne Brady talking about it.
My ex-wife, Mandy and I, we have a different and I think a very special situation than a lot of
people that co-parent. And our daughter is 17.
So it's also different than if she were, you know, five.
For the entire duration of her life, we have co-parented as best friends.
And like right now, we live virtually next door to each other.
So our quarantining is a little different.
We quarantine between both of our homes.
And I've got a big backyard and lots of land.
So we both share this land and this space.
So Mandy, her boyfriend, Jason, my daughter, Miley,
we are a family.
Dropping the clues bombs for rich rules, God damn it.
All right?
Don't try that at home.
They've also been divorced.
They've been divorced for 12 years.
So I'm sure that by now They've managed to figure out
How they can navigate their relationship
Right?
I'm sure they're cool
I'm just talking about you know
Don't try that at home
You gotta act your wage in a situation like that
Because clearly Wayne Brady's finances
Are funding that whole little situation
Clearly
Clearly right?
Alright well I'm Angela Yee
And that is your rumor report
Alright thank you Miss Yee
Charlemagne.
Yes.
Who are you giving that down to?
You know, we need Devin Nunes.
He's a representative from California.
We need him to come to the front of the congregation.
I just can't believe how so many of our elected officials are letting us down.
Well, not letting me down, because I don't believe in government in no way.
Are letting the country down at a time like this, especially at a time like this when it's so easy to hit
these shots and they're missing layups.
But we'll talk about it for after the hour.
Alright, we'll get to that next and don't forget Ask Ye is coming
up next hour so if you need relationship advice
800-585-1051
Call it now. It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
I was born a donkey.
It's the donkey of the day.
Donkey, donkey, donkey. Donkey, donkey, donkey. Donkey, donkey a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day.
It's the donkey of the day.
That's pretty funny.
Charlamagne the devil?
Possibly.
The Breakfast Club.
Donkey of the day for Thursday, April 2nd,
goes to Representative Devin Nunes of California.
Now, Devin Nunes is not an infectious
disease expert or a doctor, but he seems to have a whole lot to say about the coronavirus. The
problem is, is being that Devin Nunes is not a doctor or infectious disease expert. All his advice
goes directly against the advice of the medical community. See, the medical community, the people
who actually know what the hell they are talking about, those folks are telling us things on how to best deal with the spread of that Rona. All right. One
of the reasons it's been so hard to flatten the curve in America is because of our elected
officials. When you have the celebrity in chief, you know, telling people it's a hoax, it's one
case, we got it under control. When the so-called leader of the free world says that it can cause a
ripple effect in that dangerous way of thinking is just as contagious as the coronavirus. OK, because if you are a person who's not actually paying attention
to what's going on and you hear the president say it's not a big deal, well, that's how you're
going to treat it. Same with mayonnaise flavored mammals like Devin Nunes. See, once again,
if you're an elected official, people look to you for leadership. OK, people listen to you.
We are in a time when people need hope. They
need optimism, okay? They need to know what
the hell is going on. This invisible enemy
that we have to battle against every
day, okay? We need
to know more about that. And Devin
Nunes has been a vending machine of
loud and wrong information, and he's
just giving stuff away for free. Listen to what
he said two weeks ago. This is two weeks ago
on Fox News. Listen. We need to stop panicking here. There's no shortage of toilet paper,
no shortage of food. And there's a lot of concerns with the economy here because people are scared to
go out. But I will just say one of the things you can do if you're healthy, you and your family,
it's a great time to just go out, go to a local restaurant. Likely you can get in, get in easily. There's, you know, let's not hurt the working people in this country that are relying
on wages and tips to keep their small business going. So don't run to the, don't run to the,
understand, just don't run to the grocery store and buy, buy, you know, $4,000 of food.
Go to your local, uh local local pub. Devin Nunes encouraged Americans to just go out to your local pubs.
He said one of the things you can do if you're healthy, you and your family is just go have a great time going out.
OK, now some of us are going on three weeks of quarantining, three weeks of self-isolation.
But two weeks ago, Representative Devin Nunes was encouraging people to go out and eat.
This was on March 16th.
Okay, once again, for three weeks, they've been telling us about social distancing.
But two weeks ago, Devin was telling people just to go get brunch.
It's a great time to just go out, go to a local restaurant.
He said, likely you can get in easily.
Of course you can get in easily.
You know why?
Because it's a global pandemic called coronavirus.
And all of us seem to understand the severity of it.
But our elected officials now, you would think at least by now, our elected officials in the Republican Party would get it.
OK, we see the celebrity in chief, Donald J.
Trump, in press conferences every day.
And he seems to understand the severity of coronavirus.
Now, some would say too little, too late, especially being that he if they lose 200,000 lives, they feel like they won.
That's the best case scenario.
200,000 lives lost.
Do you know how many people that is?
What bothers me when they talk like that is how would they feel if those people dying were people in their families, their friends?
Those human jaws of Hellman's probably have no souls.
They probably wouldn't care, but it's still much easier to say people are going to die when it's not your people. Well, even with those grim projections of 200,000 people dying,
Devin Nunes was on Fox News Tuesday night. On Tuesday night, ready and willing to send people
on a dummy mission to die. Listen to what Devin Nunes said on Fox News just Tuesday night.
The schools were just canceled out here in California, which is, you know, way overkill.
I mean, you know, it's possible kids could have went back to school in two weeks to four weeks, but they just canceled the rest of the schools. So look, I'm optimistic here. I think that the
drugs that are on the market now, look how quick we were able to get this approved, this new
malaria drug. The vaccines are going to take a while. But look, we have this bill that we just passed last week,
$2.2 trillion worth.
We have to focus on keeping people employed.
If we don't start to get people back to work in this country
over the next week to two weeks,
I don't believe we can wait until the end of April.
I just think, I just don't know of any economy
that's ever survived where you unplug the entire economy
and expect things to go back and be normal.
Devin Nunes, please,
on behalf of the American people with common sense,
shut the F up
forever. Why do people like that
have positions of power? Why do they have voices?
He thinks canceling schools in
California during a global pandemic
is overkill? No.
You know what's overkill? 200,000 people
possibly dying by the coronavirus before the year is over. That's overkill? No. You know what's overkill? 200,000 people possibly dying by the coronavirus
before the year is over. That's overkill.
And you know why the death toll is
so high? Because you
and Donald Trump refuse to let the experts
speak. I don't care if you are a believer in
G.O.D. or a believer in the government.
You can believe in the G.O.D.,
but you better listen to the CDC. And you better
not listen to the G.O.P. over the CDC
because G.O.P. doesn't know what the hell they're talking about.
Neither do Democrats, by the way, but Democrats aren't acting like they know what they're talking about.
Democrats are doing the smart thing and listening to the medical experts, social distancing, encouraging people to stay home.
And it baffles my mind that elected officials in the Republican Party can't do something as simple as telling people to stay home.
You don't have to say anything else.
This is a layup, an easy shot.
You don't have to miss this one.
When somebody asks you about coronavirus,
all you have to do is tell people to stay home.
That's it.
Devin Nunes, follow your leader.
Dope 45, El Presidente, the celebrity in chief.
Even he is telling people to stay home.
Now, how hard is it for you to do that, fool?
Theodore M. Hesburgh once said, the very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision.
You can't blow an uncertain trumpet. The vision is clear on this one. Stay home. Social distancing
is what it takes to flatten the curve until they are able to come up with treatment or vaccine.
Blowing an uncertain trumpet means to act or perform, conduct oneself without the shortness that is conventionally called for. Every time Devin Nunes is on the news, he is not profoundly articulating
a proper vision for the American people. In fact, his vision of what's going on will lead people to
sickness, will lead people to death. So Devin, instead of being on the news blowing uncertain
trumpets, go back to Donald Trump. Because if you do that,
you can't spread misinformation
with the president's penis mouth.
And that is truly what's best
for the American people.
Please let Kathy Griffin
give Devin Nunes,
or Devin Nunes,
however you pronounce his name,
the biggest hee-haw.
Please give this giant jar of mayo
the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
Now, Charlamagne, you know you can't put the penis in anything on air. I don't know. Excuse me?

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's time for Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, Yee, what's up?
It's Keith from Homey.
I can't hear you.
You got to talk into the phone.
No speaker.
Can you hear me?
I'm in a factory.
That's why.
Can y'all hear me? Okay.
That sounds better.
Yes.
All right, Yee. What's up? What's up, Charlamagne? What's up, Envy?
How y'all doing holding up during this quarantine?
Oh, I'm good.
The reason why I'm calling is my girl went on my laptop the other day
because I'm an essential worker. I'm a welder.
But she at home working and she went on my laptop the other day
and she found
some porno that's a little
different and touched me
about it last night.
Well, what do you mean by a little different?
A little bit different.
It's all, I'm going to just cut to the chase.
So, you know, you've got
your basic stuff, but then she went
into just some cam girl stuff
of girls farting.
Okay, so that's
the type of porn you watch, girls fart.
Who are they farting on?
My goodness.
Y'all really want to know?
It's black girls farting on white girls.
Yeah, I want to know. We want to know.
It's black girls farting on white girls.
And that turns you on.
Yeah, it caught me off guard
a couple years ago.
I thought, I'm like, damn, this thing's kind of different.
I like it.
I like it.
Okay.
So now what's she asking you?
She said, why didn't you come to me sooner?
I would have been business for you.
Wow.
Okay, that sounds like a positive thing.
I know.
I'm just going to tell you, I really want to just get it off my chest.
I really don't need no advice on this.
I'm a co-worker.
Yeah, I'm like, what's the problem here?
So now your girl is farting on you in the bedroom.
Not necessarily.
We don't look for white girls.
She said, hell yeah, I fart on a white girl.
This is crazy.
You might have to pay for that, though, you know.
How about they stinky farts.
Does that still turn you on, bro?
Man, y'all should be social distancing.
All this goddamn farting on each other
gonna make y'all all get caroni in your ass cracks.
And what if she sharts?
See, we ain't even get that far yet,
but I'll call y'all and give y'all the update.
I just want to tell y'all I love y'all
and I appreciate the love and support, all right?
You need to go quarantine.
Okay.
You let somebody fart on your bare skin, you got to go quarantine for 21 days.
Let me tell you something.
Right now, people are at home.
Whoa.
Wow.
Whoa.
Okay.
Well, that got interesting.
That's an invite.
Okay, Charlamagne, what do you say next?
I say I'm going to tap out of this conversation right now.
Okay?
Because I feel like I need to go wash my hands
And use hand sanitizer
And social distance myself from this phone call
But listen I promise you right now
A lot of people are looking at all different kinds of porn at home
Because people are stuck in the house
Pornhub is free for right now
I was on Pornhub last night
Definitely experimenting
Watching things
Y'all need to go check out
X videos and X. Is it free right now?
You get all your, it's free
forever and you'll get all your daily
fart videos.
Go fart on somebody.
All I know is he just made a whole bunch of people
look up fart videos and I have that feeling.
No, I'm going to tell you something that I've been
very into on Pornhub and it's all
our producer Taylor's fault
OPP
Which is old people's poom poom
Watching them old ladies get it in
Is so intriguing to me
And I do not know why
And I'm talking about these are old women
Like 70 years old
80 years old
It's not wrong with me
There's nothing wrong with me
I'm just saying that Taylor's show will be this one video
And I went down this whole
Rabbit hole of grandma gang bangs
And it is so interesting to me man
It is very interesting
You really do
I can see you with like a 90 year old
No well yeah my wife when she's 90
But yes I do love older women
Salute to Stephanie Mills
Salute to Patti LaB. Salute to Stephanie Mills.
Salute to Patti LaBelle.
Salute to Angela Bassett.
Drop on the clues bombs for all three of those beautiful black queens.
Okay.
All right.
Ask Yee.
800-585-1051.
When we come back, we're going to talk to a senator.
Now, we had a conversation yesterday about the census.
And I had a bunch of questions.
Yee had questions.
Charlamagne had questions. So now, what's his name, Yee? Senator Kevin Parker. Senator Kevin Parker will be checking in when we come back. It's an asky, but we're going to be talking to him and
asking him a bunch of questions too. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We're in the middle of Ask Yee.
Now, yesterday we were having a conversation about the census, and I wasn't too sure about it.
I had a bunch of questions.
So now we have a senator on the line that's going to answer all our questions.
Senator Kevin Parker.
Good morning.
That's my senator.
Good morning.
How you doing, Angela?
Hey, what's up, Mr. Senator Kevin Parker?
So, yes, we were talking about the U.S. Census.
And, you know, Envy was saying you were saying you would be nervous to fill it out, right, Envy?
Yeah, I was saying if I was an undocumented immigrant, I might be nervous because I'm not sure where that information is going and how it can affect me later on.
That's very common.
We want to talk about the importance of filling out the census and what it means.
Anybody should understand that we do the census every 10 years
and it's required by law.
It's 10 questions.
It takes about 10 minutes, but the impact is for 10 years.
And I understand the concerns.
There's a lot of conversation early on about questions
about whether people were citizens or not citizens.
The U.S. Census as an agency is a lockbox.
Individual information can go in,
but only aggregate information can come out.
Even the White House can't get information
out of the Census by penalty of law.
And so, you know, ICE, IRS, you know,
other U.S. federal or state agencies
can't get this information. The only thing they can get out know, U.S. federal or state agencies can't get this information.
The only thing they can get out of the U.S. Census is the aggregate information about, you know,
you know, I may say, OK, Kevin Parker, I live on Avenue H in Brooklyn, but they can't get that information.
They can just say in that census tract, how many people live there?
Are they men? Are they women? Do they have families? How many cars do they have?
That kind of information.
But you can understand why a lot of
immigrants or undocumented
immigrants would feel like they don't want to
fill out the census. Yes, but the vast
majority of people in the United States are not
undocumented immigrants. So even if
those folks don't fill it out, everybody
else should fill out. And so we want
everybody to fill it out. But
certainly, and
people should be very clear, it's a lockbox.
There's no penalties to it.
The police can't find it.
IRS can't find it.
Nobody finds individual information, just aggregate information, statistical information about who lives where, how much income they have, what their racial origins are, that kind of data. But anybody else should understand and not be afraid.
And they should fill out the census right away because that impact on billions of dollars that comes into our community has impacts on
representation.
You know,
districts like mine,
city council districts,
congressional districts are all decided on this and schools,
hospitals,
and even daycare facilities.
Right.
I was reading about how one County did not fill out enough about how many kids were there.
And so then they don't get enough dollars for daycare and after school activities and things like that for kids in the community.
That's 100% right.
Almost every single agency on the federal, state and city level, they're decided based on the statistical information. And believe it or not, even private companies use the U.S. census data to make decisions
about, you know, where they're going to put, you know, stores, warehouses, you know, and such.
So who gets this data?
Because you just said private companies get this data.
So who else gets this data?
Because I think that was, you know, my concern.
You know, who gets this data? You said think that was my concern. Who gets this data?
You said the IRS doesn't get it. You said ICE doesn't get it. But you're saying big companies,
private companies do get it. Yeah. Envy, let me go back to the point that it is aggregate data
they get, not individual data. So no individual data about you or Angela, myself, Charlemagne,
none of that information individually comes out. Only thing you can get is aggregate data about New York State, New York City,
Brooklyn, a particular census tract, right?
But anybody can access it.
You can actually, even now, you can go online.
The library has it, the U.S. Census Bureau.
You can reach out to them, and you can get data.
In my other job, outside of being a senator, I'm also a college professor.
And I've taught at Brooklyn College at the University of Albany.
And I've actually pulled census data for some of the graphic work that I was doing at one point.
So anybody can pull that information and use it at any time.
Now, some people believe that there's a question about citizenship on the census.
Now, let's dispel.
I want to talk about that because is there or was there ever a question about whether or not you're a citizen?
And is that on there this year?
There is no question about citizenship on the U.S. census this year.
There was initially it was talked about. It went to court. It never went on the form.
There is no question about citizenship on the U.S. census form.
Question. If I lie about being white, will the money get there faster to the neighborhoods?
I'm not
sure.
But we should probably make it
as accurate. We want really
accurate information. And one of the things
that we should let people know is that
they're counting not just the person who filled out
the form. So for one household,
there's eight people in a household,
you don't need to fill out eight forms.
One form that counts every single person
is important.
And you don't have to, again,
worry about whether one of the people
is documented or not.
You don't have to worry about your grandmother
living with you. You don't have to worry about
if you have people there
who you think shouldn't be there. Count those people.
The more people we count, the more representation we get, the more resources we get in our community and the more money our community is eligible for.
You can fill this out online now, right?
Just so people know.
And the deadline is August 14th.
They've extended it.
Yes.
You can fill out online at www.2020census.gov.
That's 2020census.gov That's 2020census.gov
Yesterday was Census Day
and we're really just trying to get as many people
to do it online.
You can also do it by phone.
And so, you know, people can
and then
you can even do it by paper, but it's
going to take, you know, a while.
There probably won't be people coming around
as early as there were before.
But if you call 844-330-2020, you can do it by phone.
Again, that number is 844-330-2020.
And that's the number to fill out the census on the phone.
Now, we already know a lot of white people are losing their mind because by the year 2040, it says that they're going to be the minority.
Right. because by the year 2040, it says that they're going to be the minority, right?
So do you think if a lot of us just lie and say we're white and they think that they're still the majority
and the projections will show that they'll still be the majority in the future,
they'll stop bugging out now?
You think?
My goodness.
Yo, yo, Solomon, you going to put something in my commissary
because you're trying to get me to create fraud on a U.S. government forum.
People should fill out the information as accurately as possible.
Accurately.
As possible.
Whatever is happening in your home, accurately fill out that information and send it in.
Well, thank you, Senator.
And money, resources, and those things don't get allocated any faster,
whether it's black communities or white communities.
Now, what if you were born white, like Rachel Dolezal, but you identify as black?
Come on, guys.
Now, there's some very specific, and I've already filled out my census form,
and some very specific guidelines on the racial questions.
They actually really get deep in terms of giving you some options.
So I'm sure there's something that fits your particular category.
But people should be as accurate as they can be on these forms.
Senator, thank you.
Thank you, Senator Kevin Parker.
We really appreciate you always.
Yes, sir. Peace, Kevin.
You guys take care.
All right. Thank you.
Be healthy and be safe. All right. Thank you. Be healthy and be safe.
All right.
Thank you so much.
Now, when we come back, we got rumors.
What are we talking about?
Yes.
And let's talk about Chuck D versus Flava Flav.
The two of them had some very public issues.
They allegedly split.
Well, now they're saying the whole thing was a hoax.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Nick Cannon.
She's spilling the tea.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
So Nick Cannon has released a trailer for Strong Enemies, The Untold Case of Dr. Sebi.
It's a documentary that he had worked on after Nipsey Hussle had been working on it for all those years.
And Nipsey had actually talked about it on The Breakfast Club back in February of 2018.
And here's what that trailer looks like.
Imagine this.
Imagine this.
Anybody in this room, if I could say,
hey, somebody cured AIDS, I'd be like, yeah, right.
Right.
Man, it ain't been 24 hours.
We got to pick up the baton and run it across the world.
Look at all these tweets.
We need to watch over and protect Nick
if he's going to take over when Nick, she left off.
He offered cures for incurable diseases.
He offered hope and life to those
about to die. What they will do with AIDS
is the same thing they do with
everything else. They will figure out
a way for you to live with it.
Salute to Nick Cannon, man. Drop on the clues bombs
for Nick Cannon. I feel like he did it right with
the trailer. He got my man, Mr. G, who has
like two years of footage on Sebi.
Nick actually went to Honduras. I like
the casting of Dr. Umar and Tariq Nasheed
as talking heads because nobody talks about
conspiracies like those two. I respect it.
Say what you want about Nick Cannon, but he is absolutely
for the culture. Nothing whitewashed about
him. He may be a whack rapper, but that has
nothing to do with
who and what that brother is and what
he stands for. Nothing but respect
for Nick Cannon. Yeah, I love the fact he did
that. Now, another thing there's a lot of conspiracy theories about,
of course, as we've been discussing, is Tiger King.
And O.J. Simpson is now weighing in on whether or not
Carole Baskin murdered her husband and got away with it.
He actually spoke to TMZ, and this is ironic.
The show is crazy.
One thing I will say, there's not a shred of doubt in my mind that that lady's husband is Tiger Shishimi right now.
I'm just saying.
I'm going to tell you something, man.
I hear stuff like that and I think to myself, O.J. really makes me feel like he may not have did it.
Like O.J. may not have killed Nicole and Ron Brown.
He wrote a whole book about what if he would have did it.
Would a person who didn't really write a book like that?
That's hypothetical.
Like, he's either really convincing or a sociopath.
Like, for O.J. to comment on somebody else possibly killing someone,
that's like R. Kelly calling somebody else a pedophile.
Or Harvey Weinstein telling, what you mean?
I said, where are they finding O.J.?
Like, where did they find O.J. to get that clip?
Like, where's O.J. walking around right now?
That's like Harvey Weinstein telling somebody they are abusing their power.
Or Donald Trump calling somebody else an idiot.
He was playing golf.
O.J. Simpson was playing golf, by the way, when O.J. was.
Wow. What the hell?
All right.
Now, Joe Exotic's ex-producer that you all saw on the docuseries, Rick, also was on TMZ Live. And he also said the only thing that was not accurate was the fact that they did not even show just the tip of the iceberg as far as to how crazy Joe Exotic really was.
Listen to this.
This documentary is so accurate, it's frightening.
If anything, the documentary doesn't go far enough to show how crazy Joe was.
This poor old woman drove in with a horse trailer and drove into the back where our TV studio was.
And Joe said, Rick, get your camera, get your camera, come record this.
And the lady was crying.
She had a horse in this trailer that was so old she couldn't take care of it.
And she said, Joe, can you take care of this horse for me?
And he said, oh, of course, we will.
Just unhitch the trailer.
We'll bring it back to you tomorrow, and I'll give him a nice pasture to run in.
By the time she got to the exit of the zoo, he walked right up to that horse trailer,
pulled out his revolver, shot the horse in the head, then cut it up and fed it to the tigers.
Wow.
Joe had sex with that tiger, yo.
I don't care what y'all say.
Joe had his penis in a box of Frosted Flakes. Can I sayall say Joe had his penis in a box of Frosted Flakes
Can I say that? Can I say penis in a box of Frosted Flakes?
No you can't put penis in anything Charlamagne
I don't believe that
You gotta find me to prove that
They were also planning on doing
A dramatized version
Of the whole Tiger King series.
So there's going to be some Hollywood dramatization of it all.
I want to talk to the tiger, man.
I want to hear what the tiger seen.
The tiger done seen some things.
Oh, my goodness.
All right.
Now, while we're in quarantine, you know, a lot of artists are doing live performances.
Well, Trina did her Billboard Live at home concert.
And here's what you have to say about new music.
Blue Lee want to know when you putting out that
seventh album. The seventh album, wow.
I can actually put out the
seventh album because I actually recorded the seventh
album. Shout out to Hitmaker.
I got a lot of records that
yeah, the seventh album is almost done.
Or basically done. Salute to Trina. I love Trina,
man. That's my girl. Trina's good people.
She's a legend.
I don't know if she gets her flowers the way she should,
but she's a whole legend out here in these streets.
Well, here is Single again as she performed live from her backyard.
I'm single again.
Back on the clock.
I thought it was perfect.
I don't know how.
I'm single again.
Yo, howdy.
Howdy.
You seen me with another man, now you want me
back. And my ass so
fat. I see you checking for me
but never will you find another chick like
me. And I don't care what your
friends say, what we have is like Jay and
Beyonce. Hey, you know
who else performing live today? Who's
that? Well, I'm old school now. I'm
41 years old. So, you know, this means
something to me because, you know, my top two favorite
record labels of all time are Rockefeller and
Uptown Records. Teddy Riley is doing
an in-home performance tonight with
Blackstreet. Yes, with Blackstreet and
some very special guests at 9pm
on teddyrileylive.com.
9pm. Okay,
so after quarantine, they're going to
put on a show. I don't know how they're doing it.
It's titled Teddy's House, and it's an in-home performance with Blackstreet and some very special guests.
And, you know, I don't know why he's not doing it on Instagram Live like everybody else.
But who am I to tell Teddy Riley what to do?
So I will be on TeddyRileyLive.com tonight watching this in-home performance.
I'm excited about that.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
Now, when we come back, we got the People's Choice Mix.
Get your request in right now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, shout out to Pastor John Gray for joining us today.
Man, salute to the good brother, Pastor John Gray, man.
I got nothing but love for Pastor us today. Man, salute to the good brother, Pastor John Gray, man. I got nothing but love for Pastor John
Gray. That's one of my
spiritual
go-tos, you know.
I love Pastor John Gray. Pastor John
Gray, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Stephen
Furtick, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan,
Pastor Carl Lynch, man,
great anointed brothers. Pastor
A.R. Bernard, salute to all of them brothers,
man. Because we really need to be leaning on, you know, our people of the cloth at a time like this,
because some of this is out of the realm of our own understanding.
And if you believe in God, you have to take the so-called good with the so-called bad.
So you really got to lean on our brothers and that share the word at a time like this.
Yeah. Now, you know, let Let me ask a question though, right?
When you talk about essential workers, right?
Is the barber an essential worker, bro?
He should be. If you saw my
hair right now, I need to cut my hair.
Like, I just need a quick little
line. I am patting
my head like goddamn
Ring the Alarm is playing, bro.
That patchy weave ladies part.
You already haven't been cutting your hair, Envy.
Yeah, I know, but like, you know, I can't line it up the right way.
So it looks mad, furry, scruffy.
It starts to itch a little bit.
Envy got a ponytail.
I almost got a ponytail.
And you know what I was thinking?
First of all, salute to Ty and salute to, you know, Johnny and Ike and everybody at the shop.
But barbers can wear gloves and barbers can wear masks. Well, salute to Ty and salute to, you know, Johnny and Ike and everybody at the shop. Yep.
But barbers can wear gloves and barbers can wear masks and they sanitize everything.
Correct.
I'm willing to take the risk the way my hair looks.
You're willing to take the risk.
I'm willing to take the goddamn risk, man, because I haven't had hair in a long time.
And I got the little fading in the front.
Like, oh, my God, I got to get a baldy.
I can't do this.
We could tell because we have a Zoom,
and you're the only one that's not on the Zoom right now,
so we figured it's because you need a haircut, bro.
Oh, no, it's also because I'm old and don't know how to work Zoom
and be on my laptop typing at the same time.
I can do one or the other, but I'll figure it out.
When we come back, we got the positive note.
Don't move, it's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Who you a fool for this? Who you in for for this?
Who you in for for this?
Oh, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, what's today?
Wednesday?
Thursday?
What's today?
Thursday.
Thursday.
Yeah, Thursday.
What do I do on Thursday?
What am I going to do with the kids today?
Tonight is game night.
Zynga, Monopoly.
Yeah.
I'll take them outside. It's supposed to be
60 degrees today, close to 60. I'm going to take them outside
and ride their bikes for a little bit, get a little sun.
What you guys doing today, if anything?
Man, I'm tired. I need a nap because
I couldn't sleep last night. I don't
know if I, I don't know why, but I was up
all night. First thing I'm going to do is take a nap
and then I'm cooking.
I've been cooking so much at home now, which I
normally don't get a chance to do. I am grateful for that. So I've been cooking so much at home now, which I normally don't get a chance to do.
I am grateful for that.
So I've been making all kinds of different vegetarian dishes because I'm trying to be a full-fledged vegetarian.
Before, I was eating chicken twice a week.
Then I cut it down to once a week.
So hopefully by the time this is over, I'll be a vegetarian.
I had a hectic day yesterday, though.
I'm not going to lie.
Yesterday was back-to-backs, and it's so weird because I'm like, damn, how I got back-to-backs at the house?
But you start off doing the Breakfast Club, and I went and did my podcast, and then I had the virtual summit with Essence.
You know what I mean?
Salute to the homie Charlie Penn.
Charlie Penn, me and her did a virtual summit with Essence yesterday.
Then I did my podcast with Angela Rye, and it's just like I just kept feeling.
And then I had a couple Zoom calls in between that.
I just felt like I was having back to back to back to back to back.
And then today I'm like, I know I got something to do today,
but I don't know what it is.
And truth be told, I don't think I have to do anything.
Isn't that weird?
I think I got something, but I don't think I do.
It's so weird.
I'm sure that somebody will call me and tell me that, hey,
you're supposed to be on this call at whatever time.
But whatever.
It is what it is.
Well, leave us on a positive note.
Listen, man, I was reading this in one of my daily affirmation books.
I have a daily affirmation book called Your Best Life Begins Each Morning.
It's by Joel Osteen.
I know a lot of people don't like Joel Osteen,
but I'm the type of person that I like messages.
I don't really get caught up into who the messenger is.
And he said, when times get tough, as they often do, or things don't go your way, as they sometimes don't, keep on believing in God.
When discouragements come or when people tell you that your dreams are never going to come to pass,
boldly remind yourself that God is opening doors of opportunity for you.
Okay?
I want you to remember that today, people.
Blessings.
Breakfast club, bitches! You all finished or y'all done? for you. Okay? I want you to remember that today, people. Blessings.
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.
