The Breakfast Club - Public School vs. Private School to Sucking Toes Through Socks
Episode Date: February 1, 20192-1-19- Today on the show we had to open up the phone lines to see what our listeners thought about the heated debate between DJ Envy and Killer Mike had about public schools and private schools the o...ther day. Also since it is Freaky Freaky Friday we opened up the phone lines to see if any of our listeners sucked toes through socks since Dream Doll accused Tory Lanez doing it to her. But don't let that distract you that it is the first day of Black History Month and Charlamagne uplifted artist Kei- Landa. Also, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to Donald Trump Jr. for thinking that the N in "SNL" was a ampersand.

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.

Thank you, Jesus.
And I am so excited.
Me too.
Today is my wife's birthday.
Okay.
Happy birthday, Gia.
Now, some crazy-ish happened.
This is how I know God's in my life and all over, right?
So, you got to break it down with me right fast.
December 28th was my son's birthday, right?
For my son's birthday, I got him a bunch of balloons and everything to wish him a happy birthday.
So the kids play with the balloons.
So the balloons fly to the ceiling in their family room, right?
Now, today is February 1st.
So last night when we were sleeping, I set my clock for 1159 to wake up for my wife's birthday.
So I wake up for my wife's birthday, say happy birthday this, that, and the other. We look up
and one of the balloons is actually in
the room that says happy birthday.
So I thought maybe one of the kids
brought the balloon in the room, this, that, and the other, yada, yada.
I was like, well, I call Madison.
Madison was sleeping. I call Logan. Logan
was sleeping. So I went to the camera.
So the camera shows the balloon
at the ceiling, come down from
the ceiling, go up the stairs,
right around,
come in my door,
and hover over my bed to say
happy birthday. I have it on camera.
It sounds a little scary. It is. My daughter was freaked out,
but I was like, that's God
saying happy birthday. That's how I took it.
A positive being, or maybe my wife's
father who passed away. Could just be a ghost. Or it could I took it. Or a positive being. Or maybe my wife's father who passed away.
Could just be a ghost.
You know what I'm saying?
Or it could be a ghost.
The balloon's alive.
But then when I woke up this morning, the balloon was deflated on the floor.
That's not a good sign.
No.
So if you think about it, that balloon stayed up from December 28th to February 1st.
Came in my room and said happy birthday, basically.
And then deflated when it was over.
That is weird.
It's the weirdest thing.
And I got it.
I have it.
I have it on my phone.
On my G.
You know, I want you to bring a little bit of that stuff you're smoking because, you
know, my anxiety be acting up.
No.
And you know how my anxiety be.
I knew you was going to say that.
So, you know, next time you smoke that good stuff, bring it in here with me.
This sounds like a movie.
I knew you were going to say that.
You know, I believe in the supernatural.
I'm going to show you the video.
I'm the guy who believes in Sasquatch.
I believe in ghosts.
I believe in all of that kind of stuff.
But, you know, I just think that that was the fact that you had balloons in the house
and it was a little draft.
No, a little draft.
That's all.
The balloons came downstairs, went up the stairs.
A little draft.
In my bedroom, powered over the head.
It's a little draft in the crib.
That's all, bro.
See, people like you.
You had the central heating going, the air blowing.
You know what I'm saying?
People like you. Balloons was all over the place. Well, I'm scared. I'm scared for you. Just be careful from the crib. That's all, bro. See, people like you. You had the central heating going, the air blowing. You know what I'm saying? People like you.
Balloons was all over the place.
Well, I'm scared.
I'm scared for you.
Just be careful in the house.
People like you.
All right.
Well, fine.
F you.
Well, I'm out here in Atlanta.
I didn't get a lot of sleep.
I'm not going to lie.
But shout out to everybody at EA Sports.
I hosted the live stream, me and Terrence J of EA Sports Bowl yesterday.
That was an amazing concert, by the way, at State Farm Arena. Who performed?
Alright, so
Metro Boomin started it off with 21 Savage.
And then after that,
Trippie Redd came out, and then Quality
Control came out, so it was Amigos,
it was Lil Baby,
Lil Yachty performed,
Ludacris and Friends performed.
So I saw T.I., Jeezy,
I saw Trader Truth was there.
Ciara.
It was really, really...
Everybody in Atlanta was at this party, huh?
Yeah, it was crazy in there.
Let me tell you something.
That was the real, real halftime show.
Well, salute to all the women that are 24 hours pregnant in Atlanta right now
and don't even know it.
Congratulations.
Everybody was out last night.
As a matter of fact, my friends are here with me, Paris and Laura.
They haven't even slept yet.
Yeah, I seen Puff.
I seen Puff riding around the city.
I seen everybody riding around the city.
So, you know, Atlanta's going to be crazy.
So if you go into Atlanta this weekend, traffic's going to be disgusting.
Yeah, be prepared to sit in a lot of traffic.
I could imagine.
So, all right, I'll be down there today.
I'm leaving right after the show.
So I'll see you in a little bit.
Well, you be prepared to sit in a lot of traffic, too.
Because it is a lot everywhere. I'm sure. I'm sure. All right. Well, let's get the show. So I'll see you in a little bit. Well, you be prepared to sit in a lot of traffic, too, because it is a lot everywhere.
I'm sure. I'm sure.
All right, well, let's get the show cracking.
Front page news, what are we talking about?
Let's talk about your Knicks, Envy.
I mean, we'll talk about the Knicks.
I was playing NBA Live yesterday.
Were you the Knicks?
No, nobody wanted to be the Knicks.
Oh, great. All right, well, we'll talk about it when we come back.
Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee we come back. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ
MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne
the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get
in some front page news.
And by the way, I just want to tell you, I showed
our producer and the cameraman the video
of the balloon coming upstairs and everything. I just want to show you.
And what did he say to you?
Same thing I said to you. What? You got to call Ghostbusters.
It's not no damn draft. It's definitely the draft.
No, it's not. But anyway, now, the Knicks, it looks like they got rid of their whole squad,
whole team.
They're creating a lot of cap space.
Oh, shut up.
They are.
It looks like they're going to try to get one of these big free agents
over the summer.
So we'll see what happens.
So you trade your best asset, a potential all-star,
and Chris Stapps Porzingis, who's only been playing in the league three years,
he didn't want to be here anymore.
I'm not mad at Porzingis.
I'm not mad at that trade. Porzingis was only been playing in the league three years. He didn't want to be here anymore. I'm not mad at that trade.
Porzingis was injured two years out of the three.
So we don't know necessarily how he played.
You know what's so crazy about New York media?
When Chris Stapps first got drafted, I gave y'all donkey today
because y'all defecated all over him.
That's true.
He's the worst player in the world.
That's true.
Then he balled out and y'all loved him.
Now that he wants to leave, y'all defecating on him again.
Yo, they treating Chris Stapps Porzingis like he's a black man who got shot by the police,
and they bringing up his poor criminal record all of a sudden.
He wasn't the best person.
He necessarily hasn't proven himself.
He was an a-hole.
That's all I said.
I didn't say none of that.
I just said he necessarily hasn't proven himself.
He was injured two out of three years, so we don't know his potential.
So the fact that they're possibly trying to restructure,
I'm not mad at that.
We sucked regardless.
Listen, y'all need to blame Mother Nature, not the Knicks,
because it was so cold in New York yesterday.
It was so cold in New York yesterday, I started to request a trade.
Okay, send me someplace warm, all right?
That's what Chris Tapp's Porzingis did.
Chris Tapp was like, man, it's too cold here.
I need to get the hell up out of here.
Well, while the Porzingis write, the truth will come out.
Exactly.
I don't know.
I don't know why you wrote that, but exactly.
Exactly.
You don't even know what it means but exactly
also
New Yorkers are so gullible
I'm shocked that y'all
have never tried to buy
that bridge in Brooklyn
you know how they always
tell you
you got a bridge in Brooklyn
on a bike
I'm surprised that New Yorker
didn't buy it
why
why
because they sell y'all
hope to buy tickets
and y'all feed into it
they have on the front
the back of the paper
this morning
Zion Williamson
Kevin Durant
and Kyrie Irving
this is the reason
that they told y'all they made this trade so they can land these three
people.
None of this is happening.
New Yorkers always do this.
They do this.
They've been doing this.
I've been here for, what, 13, 14 years now?
I've seen LeBron James in this jersey.
I've seen.
But we got some big players.
They do this all the time.
We had Amari Stoudemire.
It just didn't work out.
We had Carmelo Anthony.
That didn't work out.
Only two people who wanted to come here.
Amari came here because y'all were the only people that would give him an inflated contract,
which they did.
So we tried.
Because they knew that his knees only had another year and a half, which was true.
And we tried Melo, too.
Okay.
Blew up the whole team to get Melo here.
Melo's from here.
Right.
Tried to do the right thing.
That didn't work out.
And everybody saw those two and said, you know what?
I'm not ever coming here.
Not everything works.
Well, guess what?
We still have the Brooklyn Nets.
Yep.
You're right.
Yep.
All right.
And let's talk about the weather.
You guys will be happy to know that the weather is getting better, but especially in the Midwest.
I mean, it's been really crazy.
More than 260 million people had temperatures below freezing.
They said at least 21 people have died because of weather-related issues.
There was an 18-year-old in his first year at the University of Iowa who died.
They're trying to figure out what happened.
He was only a short walk from his dorm.
He was found unconscious outside of a campus building.
People were really actually freezing to death.
So there were people who had hypothermia, frostbite, a lot of businesses, schools,
many colleges were closed yesterday, but things should be getting better now.
So they expect that that will happen.
It was a big headache for a lot of people,
and unfortunately it did result in the death
of some people. Wow.
You know where it's really kind of
warm at? Where? It'll be like 70 degrees this week.
Where? Dallas. Dropping the clues bombs
for Chris Daspozingas.
Alright. The man's in a trade, getting
the hell out of here, doing what's best for his niece.
Needs to handle in this cold weather.
There were nearly 50 forest bite victims in Chicago.
And let's go to Chicago now and talk about Jussie Smollett because Donald Trump has reacted when asked from the Oval Office about the Empire Stars case.
Here's what he had to say.
That, I can tell you, is horrible.
I've seen it.
It doesn't get worse.
Many of those people wanted me to stay out, but I didn't
want to do it because people were getting hurt.
What I think is the worst sin of all
is the fact that we're allowing
people to come into this country and
sell drugs and human traffic
and do all of these horrible things
that if we had the
simplicity of a well-constructed
beautiful barrier or wall.
Are y'all sure they're asking about Jussie Smollett?
Yeah, that was his answer to that.
Because I didn't hear the question.
Are y'all sure he was asked about Jussie Smollett?
Yeah, he was asked about the whole situation with Jussie Smollett, the Empire star.
And what's crazy is he did...
You said he saw it, though.
Nobody saw it.
He said, I saw it.
We should just build a wall.
I don't know what he's talking about.
But maybe he saw a picture of Jussie Smollett in the hospital.
I don't know what he saw.
I don't even know if he knows what empire is.
Trump said empire.
You can't build an empire without walls.
And that's what we're going to do.
We're going to build a wall and protect our empire.
But you know it's important because Jussie Smollett did say that the guys were yelling out MAGA country and all of that.
So clearly that has something to do with the message that Donald Trump has been pushing.
And Donald Trump has talked about this approach to the shutdown negotiations
because there are no negotiations.
He will not negotiate on the wall.
Here's what he said.
If they don't give us a wall, it doesn't work.
If I didn't do the shutdown, people wouldn't know.
They wouldn't understand the subject.
Now they understand the subject.
They realize what a humanitarian crisis it is.
On February 15th, the committee will come back.
And if they don't have a wall,
I don't even want to waste my time reading what they have.
All right.
All right, we'll see.
Well, that's front page news.

Just telling you, you know, frustrated with the job.
Work 60 hours a week.
Crazy.
I'm up here at 6 o'clock in the morning. I just was looking for a little investment advice from DJ Envy.
How to try to get some property out there.
Making that kind of money and trying to figure out these down payments for these houses.
How's your credit, bro?
My credit, I just finally got it up there.
My credit's pretty good right now. What's pretty good?
Over $650, it's getting up to almost $700 right now. Okay,
you gotta get over $700 and then the banks will be able
to get you loans and low interest rates. And how much
money, you have money saved, bro? Yeah, I got a little
bit of money, but you know how it is if you buy something
more than two or three apartments,
you know what I mean?
You, you just consider it a, you know, like a business or the bigger down payment.
Not necessarily.
Not if you live in it, man.
If you live in an apartment now, do you live in a home now?
No, we live in a house now.
Okay.
If you get a, um, you can do it where you get a three unit and, but you just have to live in one of the units.
You can get a 3% loan and, and that way, you know, you don't have to put a huge down payment in.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
But if you have any other advice on how to get, like, you know, those.
I've been trying to look into those, you know, online investing things,
trying to go to those meet you at these hotels type of deals.
And, you know, I don't believe in a lot of that stuff,
but I was listening to your interviews lately,
especially the one with Killer Mike.
I've got to say, a little controversial right there.
But I like the energy.
So, you know, you gotta keep watching.
Yeah, now the wholesaling thing is a little difficult.
It requires a lot of work.
It can work.
It works for very few, but it can.
I do more of the flipping and renting.
But you hold on the line, and I'll give you my guy's number
and see if he can get you a loan for your credit and everything.
All right?
I appreciate it.
Hold on. Don't hang up.
Get it off your chest.

I'm not trying to buy the whole...
I'm just trying to invest.
I'm trying to teach my people
how to do it, too.
When's your next seminar?
We're doing a ride-along in February
where we're actually going to take
like maybe 100 people,
only like 100 people,
and take them to some of the properties
so they can actually see
renovation, flipping, and all that other stuff.
I'm doing that February and March.
We're doing something in Atlantic City because I think Atlantic City is a hot market.
So Atlantic City is the next one.
You're going to take 100 black people to go look at properties?
Yeah.
You're just going to bring the property value down in the neighborhood?
See?
Why you see?
It's people like you.
People like you.
Man, I love y'all, man.
Yeah, man.
People like you. Yeah, Emory, what if, man. Yeah, man. People like you.
Yeah, Envy, what if you saw 100 people walking around your neighborhood?
Yeah, Envy would know.
I'm not investing here.
I wouldn't mind.
I wouldn't mind.
I don't care.
And it's not just black people.
It's black people.
It's all minorities.
Envy know what he's doing.
Envy taking 100 black people to this neighborhood to bring the property value down, then he's

Well, Jesse Smollett will be performing in L.A.
and that's going to be happening tomorrow.
He already had this show planned and he's going to be there.
It's sold out.
And they said he is going to address the attack that just happened in Chicago.
So he does still have the scars, the swelling and all of that. But the show must go on.
Now, there were some things that he wanted to clarify through his reps.
At first, they said he refused to hand over his phone records and his phone to cops.
That's not what happened.
The sources say that the cops asked him if he would surrender his phone
to verify that he was talking to his manager on his cell when he was attacked.
He didn't want to hand over his phone because who would want to do that?
Then you don't have a phone and you don't know what they're going through and looking at.
So he said he had no problem handing over his phone records, though.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Why wouldn't they just look at his phone records?
I don't understand why he needed to turn over his
phone for them to see if he was on the phone with his manager.
Yeah, he's in the process of gathering his phone
records now so that he can
give that to them. The sources also
said the assailants were not
wearing MAGA hats, even though some outlets reported
that they were. They
simply screamed out MAGA country and that the rope around his neck.
Now, if you guys have been paying attention to the story,
you know they said that he did walk into the building
and did have that noose around his neck.
So apparently, according to reports,
they do have video of Jesse with that rope draped around his neck
as he walked through the lobby of his building,
and that was all on surveillance camera.
Well, you know social media is a bad game of telephone, so it
went from the guys attacking him
screaming out, this is MAGA country, to
they had on MAGA hats by the time this story
went around social media.
Social media is a bad game of telephone.
Now, in addition to all of that,
his sister, you know,
Journey Smollett has commented and talked about
how he is so
resilient, even though all of this
has happened to him, you know, everything is still, the show must go on.
So, you know, shout out to him.
She said, because there's a light in him that cannot be dimmed because we are a family of
joyful warriors, we will not let this get the best of us.
Although this is a picture from happier times, this is the spirit to which we chose to move
forward.
They will not steal our joy.
Hey, listen, why let hate win?
The world keeps spinning.
The show must go on.
I'm glad Jussie's back on his feet and performing this weekend.
But I'm shocked he's not in Atlanta.
That's where the party's at.
What, for Super Bowl?
Yes.
He's going where the money at.
He got a show.
He's going to get that bread.
Yeah, let him go get his money.
Now, Kevin Hart got some backlash after sending his prayers to Jussie Smollett. If you guys recall, he tweeted about standing with this man
in his time of hurt and all of that.
And somebody commented, a lot of people did comment about that,
and one person said, at Ira, said,
your funniest joke, congrats, he's the host of Crooked Media's Keep It.
Now, Kevin Hart responded.
Why was that a joke for him to wish Jussie positive energy?
Well, I'll tell you what their exchange was.
Kevin said, I stand with the man in his time of hurt and need by giving him heartfelt support.
And you take the time to harp on my 10-year past that I have apologized about and moved on from by being a better person.
Do you want change?
If so, I am an example of what you want people to do.
Change.
That's real.
And that's when Ira responded,
I harp because my community of black queer people
face violence 365 in America.
And when we tried to tell you that we weren't trolling you
but wanted to educate how your jokes lead to actions,
like what happened to Jesse,
you went on Ellen to talk about your wheelchair movie.
So that was the response.
This was stupid, man.
This is people who just want to be mad to be mad.
Y'all want Kev to be homophobic so bad.
He's grown.
He's evolved.
I saw an article on Vibe yesterday that said that the silence of straight black men when it comes to Jussie Smollett is deafening.
I'm like, I saw everybody named Mama.
Yeah, I saw a lot of people posting.
Exactly.
Everybody named Mama was posting, you know, blessings to Jussie and they wish him well and what happened was wrong.
So I'm like, why would you even write an article like that?
I write, now Ariana Grande, she has
fixed her tattoo. So she thought.
We told you about how she tried to get
her seven rings tattoo and it ended up
saying Japanese barbecue
because she forgot one of the characters.
Well, now
she has added that character in
and put up a screenshot of that, but
it didn't work out.
Now that actually says Japanese barbecue finger.
So she added the wrong character again.
My God, that ain't true.
You making this up?
No, I'm not making it up.
Cite your sources.
Who's reporting this?
TMZ.
My God.
Not that TMZ's always right, but.
My God.
Whatever language you speak, Ariana, that's what you need to get on your arm,
so at least you know what you're getting.
Right, just write it in English.
I don't know, people are being funny at this point.
I write in Ariana Grande, she's patched things up with 2Change,
and we're still talking about the seven rings.
If you guys remember, he had an issue with the pink car that she had in her video,
the pink car she had in the video,
saying it was an imitation of what he had done with the pink trap house,
the pink car and all of that.
Well, now he's on the remix of Seven Rings.
Here's a snippet for you.
My ideas are priceless.
I know I'm the nicest.
I knew you would like this.
I must be psychic.
I'm from the streets, baby.
I'm nothing like them.
She's sweet in the day, but freaky when night comes.
It's mine.
Invest it.
I spend it.
On necklace.
I got the cash.
If I don't get credit.
And I'm well respected.
So she feel protected.
So scratch all the X's.
Next life contestants.
That's a fair trade.
You steal my idea.
Give me a feature.
I'm not mad at that.
Yeah, that pink trap house that she had in the video looked just like his,
and a lot of people pointed it out.
So at least the two have made up now.
He's on the remix.
That's a good way to pay homage.
I still want you to tell everybody you got that idea from me, though.
Agreed.
All right.
Well, I am Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
All right.
Now, when we come back, we got front page news.
What are we talking about?
Let's talk about this weather.
It looks like there's a break coming up,
but unfortunately, there were some casualties.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
What's happening?
It's Friday, Super Bowl weekend.
Sleuth to all the women in Atlanta.
That's 24 hours pregnant right now.
I don't even know it.
Let's get into some front page news.
What are we talking about, Yee?
Well, let's talk about the weather.
It looks like things are going to be easing up.
So that's going to be fortunate for everybody in Chicago.
They said there were at least about 21 casualties that were weather related.
So, again, our condolences out to the families of those people who are suffering from that.
But fortunately, in the Midwest, and they had to send out alerts to everybody to not leave the house, to just stay indoors.
A lot of offices and businesses were closed.
They weren't delivering mail.
In Chicago, a lot of those flights were canceled,
so hopefully things will be better soon.
I'm going to tell you something.
It was so cold yesterday that I went into Target
and bought me some thermal pants.
I ain't wore thermal pants since elementary school, bro.
That's freezing.
Because you know why?
Because when I was out yesterday,
I felt like, you know, you layered at the top,
but there ain't no layers at the bottom. It's just your jeans
and your drawers. So I went and got me some thermal
pants. I got them on right now.
Listen, it's cold in Atlanta, but it's in the 30s cold.
It's not like it is back there.
It's gonna go up to 50 today, right? 55 or something like that?
Yeah, and you know, there's
a term for all this weather. I forget
exactly what they call it. Cold?
Freezing? No, but the way that it goes from
so extreme
to then it gets so much warmer. So they said people actually have issues with what they call it. Cold? Freezing? No, but the way that it goes from so extreme to
then it gets so much warmer.
So they said people actually have issues with that too.
It's just the way the weather changes so abruptly.
How does it go from like negative 20
to 50 degrees? Sounds like a human
being to me. Our attitudes go up and
down sometimes. Alright, now
let's talk about Donald Trump's reaction to
Jussie Smollett's attack. He was
asked from the Oval Office what he thought about it, and here's what he said.
And that, I can tell you, is horrible. I've seen it. It doesn't get worse.
Many of those people wanted me to stay out, but I didn't want to do it because people were getting hurt.
What I think is the worst sin of all is the fact that we're allowing people to come into this country
and sell drugs and human traffic and do all of these horrible things.
That if we had the simplicity of a well-constructed, beautiful barrier or wall.
Trump said empire.
Well, you can't build an empire without walls.
And that's what we are going to do.
We're going to build a wall and protect our empire.
What if when he said it's horrible, he seen it, he was actually talking about the TV show Empire?
Play the clip again when he starts. It's just the beginning. I see that it's horrible. He's seen it. He was actually talking about the TV show. Play the clip again when he starts.
It's just the beginning.
I've seen it.
It's horrible.
That I can tell you is horrible.
I've seen it.
Stop.
What if he's just talking about the TV show?
Shut up, man.
I'm serious.
It's not horrible.
Shut up.
Because I can't believe he would answer that question that way.
Like, yeah, I've seen it.
It's horrible.
Now, we're all waiting to see what's going to happen because, you know, this government
shut down.
We're only temporarily reopened until they figure out what they're going to do with the Democrats, the Republicans, with this wall that Donald Trump wants to build.
And it looks like for him, there's no negotiating that wall.
Here's what he had to say.
If they don't give us a wall, it doesn't work.
If I didn't do the shutdown, people wouldn't know.
They wouldn't understand the subject.
Now they understand the subject.
They realize what a humanitarian crisis it is. On February
15th, the committee will come back
and if they don't have a wall,
I don't even want to waste my time reading what they have.
Jesus Christ, what a man child.
I'm not even going to try to compromise, okay?
If they don't have what I want, then it's not
going to happen. It's horrible. He's not going to shut the government down again.
I don't think he'll do that again.
I don't know. His ego is so big.
That is true.
Donald Trump Jr., by the way, this is funny.
He tried to discuss some things
and be clever, I guess.
And he said it's almost like a funny
version of an S and L
skit. Not S and L.
S and L. That's how he responded
when John Willow wrote. So 2020 Dem
platform is no private health care and kill fully formed two seconds from birth babies.
So you mean and like the symbol?
Yeah, like the ampersand.
Like A and E.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Right?
R and B.
Yeah.
Yeah, R and B.
That was his, I guess he doesn't know the difference between.
Or maybe it's a different show we don't know of.
It's levels to stupidity, bro.
I just want y'all to know that. It is levels to
stupidity. You know how dumb you gotta be to
misspell an acronym? I ain't
even that stupid. Okay?
Alright, well that is your front
page news. Alright. Thank you, Miss Ye.
Now let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
Yesterday, Killer Mike was on the show and we were
talking public school versus private school.
I don't have no problems with you
loving your children, but my children go to
public school because I pay taxes in
public schools and they name for black people.
Some public school teachers
are there and they don't give it all
and some of them don't have the tools
that the same schools that other schools have.
But if you're going to simply tell me there's a great
business curriculum there,
I'm going to retort to say at George Washington Carver High School in Atlanta,
they have a dry cleaning program, they have a t-shirt printing program,
they have auto mechanics.
But in these other schools, they teach you how to be billionaires.
All right, so let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
We're talking public school versus private school.
And this conversation came from me and Killer Mike yesterday having a conversation.
A lively discussion.
I want to call my homegirl.
She's the CEO of Regeneration Schools.
Her name is, I call her Principal Shell.
She has three campuses and six schools on the south side of Chicago.
And she's opening up another school in Cincinnati this fall.
So she has some thoughts on the situation.
That's dope.
I'm actually going to Chicago to do something with her and her students.
She told me.
We'll talk about it when we come back and we'll take your phone calls.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV,
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're talking public school versus private school.
This conversation came about with me
and Killer Mike yesterday. We had a conversation
and people were talking about it all day yesterday,
about public school, private school.
I don't have no problems with you loving your children,
but my children go to public school because I pay taxes in public schools,
and they name for black people.
Some public school teachers are there, and they don't give it all,
and some of them don't have the tools that the same schools that other schools have.
But if you're going to simply tell me there's a great business curriculum there,
I'm going to retort to say at George Washington Carver High School in Atlanta,
they have a dry cleaning program, they have a t-shirt printing program,
they have auto mechanics.
But in these other schools, they teach you how to be billionaires.
So we're just opening up the phone lines, 800-585-1051.
Now what do you guys think?
I don't think either one of you were wrong.
I think the optics of the conversation made it look worse
than what it was. Killer Mike is, you know,
big and loud and aggressive and
you're beige and, you know, sensitive.
Yeah, so I just think that it
looked worse than what it actually was, but I just think
it all boils down to options.
You know what I'm saying? I think that parents need
options, you know, and that's if you
look up schools in your area, because I mean
my kids go to private school, but my kids go to private school
because in the area I live in, when I looked up
the best public schools and the best
private schools, the best private schools honestly were just
closer. The best schools were private and they were closer
to where I live. And pay attention to how
your kids are learning and growing, because like I said,
you know, I wasn't enjoying
going to private school at all. I didn't feel like
it was that beneficial to me. In some ways
it was. There were some things I enjoyed, but I think overall, I had to leave there and go to private school at all. I didn't feel like it was that beneficial to me. In some ways, it was. There were some things I enjoyed.
But I think overall, I had to leave there and go to public school.
Well, for myself, well, first of all, it's not about being beige.
It's about it.
I didn't raise my voice.
See, see, see, see, see.
No, but the problem is you always keep saying, oh, beige, beige, beige, beige.
So people, it wasn't.
We were just having a conversation.
It was definitely beige, beige.
It was a meter.
It was a meter.
Yeah, because Charlamagne put the meter.
But when it comes to, you know, my kids in their school, I pick what school I feel is best.
Now, my kids were in public school.
They were.
And I didn't like the curriculum.
I didn't like how they were being taught.
It was more kids in the school than I necessarily wanted.
And now that they're in private school, they get a better education.
That's hands down what it is.
That's from my experience.
That's from what I've seen.
From that particular school. Yeah, from my particular schools and even experience. That's from what I've seen. From that particular school.
Yeah, from my particular schools and even from being in Queens, what I've seen in Queens.
So if I've seen it when I was a kid and I've seen it raising my kids, I absolutely positively believe it.
Now, I know a lot of teachers were mad and they said, oh, you said that we don't teach.
No, I didn't say that.
I said that in certain, some experiences, in some experiences that I have seen personally myself,
teachers in those areas, in those schools,
did not teach like these other schools.
And that's because I feel like there's no accountability at times.
When my daughter goes to school,
every Wednesday we get an email from the teacher
saying how the school is doing and what they're being taught
and what they're learning.
I didn't get that at, for my kids' public schools.
Also, there's somebody to make sure that they're actually doing what's right.
At that particular public school, though. It's very important to say that. kids' public schools. Also, there's somebody to make sure that they're actually doing what's right. At that particular public school, though.
It's very important to say that.
At three different public schools.
Three different public schools that I had that when I was a kid and what my kids went
to, I did not see none of that.
That's why I said some teachers and I didn't say all.
Yeah, some schools.
And if you really listen to the interview, Killer Mike went on and did that whole spiel
and then at the end he says, but I'm sending my daughter to private school next year.
Do you think that he was putting words in your mouth?
Well, what he was saying was that he thinks that early on.
No, I'm asking a question.
He was saying that early on it's better to send your kids to public school
and then later on when they turn like 12 or 13, that's what he was saying.
Do you think he was putting words in your mouth?
No, he was trying to, shut up, Charlemagne.
No, because I'm just saying, you might have said some things
that you may not have meant to say, like this.
Don't put big penis in my mouth.
I don't put big penis in yours.
Whoa.
See, you play too much.
See, I'm being serious.
Wow.
Sounds like revenge, but something that happened last week.
Did you play too much?
Did he put that in your mouth?
You know what?
We're trying to have a serious conversation, and you playing.
We have Lexi on the line.
Lexi, good morning.
Morning.
Hey, we're talking public school versus private school.
What do you feel? I mean, DJ Envy, I'm completely on the line. Lexi, good morning. Morning. Hey, we're talking public school versus private school. What do you feel?
I mean, DJ Envy, I'm completely on your side.
I went to public high school here, and I feel like I was in a major disservice.
Even when it came to college prep, like, they didn't really prepare us to go to college.
I know that nobody wants to hold anybody's hands,
but how can you not hold my hand on something that I don't know anything about?
And even when it came to class sizes and teachers, like the teachers are overworked.
They're not really paying attention to all the students.
It really does a disservice, especially within our community.
Oh, oh, oh, teachers will be mad at you.
Don't say that.
I don't care.
I'm just messing with you.
There's some great teachers that work really hard that are underpaid, overworked.
But she's not talking about the great teachers.
She's talking about the teachers that she's dealt with.
Don't just say teachers.
Don't just say teachers will be mad.
Yes, and there's some really great public schools, and there's some really bad public schools. say teachers will be mad. Yes, and there's some really great public schools
and there's some
really bad public schools.
There's some really great
private schools
and there's some
really bad private schools.
Sharon, you there?
Yes.
Good morning, Sharon.
We're talking about
public school
versus private school.
It is definitely
an awesome platform.
It is definitely
a need for private schools
and the knowledge of it
in our community.
I'm a single black parent.
I'm still raising one, but I have three daughters.
All three of them went to private school.
The oldest one has two master's degrees and a PA degree.
My middle daughter has an undergraduate degree,
and my youngest daughter is in high school now making the honor of.
I thank God for the opportunity to have been in high school now making honor of. I thank God for the opportunity to have been in private school
because it
gave them, my children,
the opportunity to experience
things they would not be allowed
to experience in public school
because of funding. One of the
greatest things that we have
is the ability to go to private school
because they offer scholarships.
I'm a poor, I was considered poor.
I was living in an apartment.
Did my daughters get scrutinized for being black and poor in that school system?
Yes, they did.
But it gave them the strength they have now because regardless,
when we get in the upper world, when we get in,
when we're grown and we're in white-collar working or blue or blue collar working, we're still going to get discriminated against.
We're still going to have things not given to us because of who we are or the sex that we are.
But the private school, the racism and the discrimination they went through through that and the education they learned made them the powerful women they are today. And I thank
God for it. And I tell anyone, yes,
you can afford it because they have
plenty of scholarships for
us. Blacks,
Hispanics, whatever the minority
is, male, female,
they have it available for you.
And I'm glad you said that because that's how I ended up going
to private school because of scholarships. But
the reason I got that was because the public school that I was in, it was a great public school in Brooklyn, PS 235.
And I actually tested into this program Prep for Prep that actually is a free program that helps you go to private school and helps you get that funding to be able to do that.
Yeah, I think what teachers get mad at is the stigma of public schools.
Like just because a school is private doesn't mean it's better.
Just because a school is public doesn't mean it's better. Just because a school is public doesn't mean
it's worse.
It's just about the system,
not the school.
Because there's some
public schools in Jersey
that are some of the best
in the state.
I mean, they're in
Saddle River.
Yes.
But they're still there.
That's why your taxes
are so high.
That's why your taxes
are so high.
Yeah, you gotta have
that money, you know,
but still.
But 800-585-051.
It's like going
to private school.
We'll take your calls.
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.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking public school versus private school.
This conversation came out of, I would say, a conversation that me and Killer Mike had yesterday.
A lively debate.
Yeah, let's play a clip of it.
I don't have no problems with you loving your children, but my children go to public school
because I pay taxes in public schools
and they named for black people.
Some public school teachers are there
and they don't give it all.
And some of them don't have the tools
that the same schools that other schools have.
But if you're going to simply tell me
there's a great business curriculum there,
I'm going to retort to say
at George Washington Carver High School in Atlanta,
they have a dry cleaning program.
They have a t-shirt printing program.
They have auto mechanics.
But in these other schools, they teach you how to be billionaires.
And my whole thing with public school versus private school is the public schools that I've experienced with my kids were fine.
But I just feel like the curriculum, the education that my kids got at private school was just way better.
Now, like, for instance, my daughter a private school, they have a criminal lab where
they actually do DNA testing. And I've never seen that at any of my kids, other schools,
they have an actual radio station where they teach kids how to do radio. They have a TV station
where they teach kids how to do TV. They record and all that. They have real estate classes where
they teach kids how to do real estate. They have a performing arts center where they actually take
kids to different places to learn how to play
different instruments. I've never seen
a lot of those programs in a lot of the public
schools. Not to say that they don't exist, but from what
I've seen, they didn't exist in the schools that I've seen.
I'm not mad at anything you're saying.
I wasn't mad at anything Killer Michael's saying. My mom has been
a public school teacher in South Carolina for over
30 plus years, but I send my kids
to private school. I think what teachers
get mad at is the stigma of public
schools because just because a school is private
doesn't mean it's better. Just because a school is public doesn't mean
it's worse. It's just about the system
not the school. I think that you just got to do your research.
I actually went to school
and at first I thought I was going to be a teacher. I was
taking all these education courses and I taught
in Washington Heights. I did this whole
program when I was in college to be
a teacher just because I felt like we need public school teachers.
Yeah, and that's what my mother was telling me yesterday.
My mom was saying it's so hard to even get people to want to be public school teachers.
Right, and a lot of that is because it's difficult.
They don't have the necessary tools.
The classes are overcrowded, and the money that they're getting paid is not a lot.
Yes, we should be paying teachers a lot more.
Not only that, you know, when I went to school, yes, you know,
when I graduated I became a DJ, but it was more about business.
I went to school for business marketing and management,
and it taught me how to make money, how to market my money,
how to use my money and invest my money, and I learned that from school.
And not only that, you know, Killer Mike said, you know,
certain schools teach you how to make T-shirts and teach you how to do those things.
No disrespect, I don't want my kids to learn how to make T-shirts.
That's just me.
But sometimes that's just somewhere to start.
I don't want my kids to do that.
Sometimes that's just a start to being more of an entrepreneur later.
And I do want to say all this means is that our schools do need more resources,
our public schools, which means that we as individuals,
just like Chance the Rapper has done in Chicago,
just like Jalen Rose has done in Detroit,
maybe we need to be investing more into our public schools
and we need to demand that our local lawmakers actually make sure there's more funding.
And there's nothing wrong with learning to trade,
because I understand, Envy, what you're saying when you say, you know,
they teach your kids to be billionaires, but how many billionaires is it in America?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, it's way more people that are just working.
It's way more people working regularly.
There's a lot of millionaires. Say millionaires.
Yeah, but it's just way more people working regular jobs. Like, people that work regular jobs. There's a lot of millionaires. Say millionaires. Yeah, but there's way more people working regular jobs.
Like, people that work regular jobs is what really makes the world go round.
But I also think that people work regular jobs, a lot of people work regular jobs because they don't necessarily know how to invest and become bigger than that.
That's true, too.
Because I didn't. My parents didn't.
And I'm sure your parents didn't.
But for me, I was taught how to, and now my kids are learning that same trade.
Listen, once again, this is all about options.
I think parents need options, and you got to do what you can do for your kids and do what's best for your kids.
And sometimes the public school in your area might be best for your kids.
Sometimes the private school might be best in your area if you can afford it.
Yeah, let's go to the phone lines.
We have April on the line.
April, good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning, everyone.
Good morning, April.
Good morning, April.
Hey, Envy.
I mean, April.
You want to be on your mind?
Go ahead, April. Good morning, April. Hey, Envy. I mean, April. You want to eat on your mind? Go ahead, April.
Yes, I wanted to just comment about the public and the private schools.
I mean, I don't have a problem with either one,
but Envy, it's parents like you that feel like you got to pull your kids out of public schools
just to put them in private schools,
when really we should be investing in these neighborhood schools
because these are the schools
that's in our neighborhood.
Like, we're supposed to be investing
in these schools
in order for our kids
to make sure that they're getting the education
that they're supposed to be getting
instead of saying,
oh, that school not good enough.
Let me just put my baby in private school.
Like, that's not fair.
I do think...
It's not fair to the community.
One thing...
It's not fair.
April, you're right.
And one thing Killer Mike said yesterday, and I'm not going to say I'm not going to say you're 100 percent right, but we are taxpayers.
So we are paying money.
So we have to ensure that these schools and these public areas are up to par, even if we don't choose to put our kids in there.
You know what I'm saying?
Even if we have to hold the school, the principals, I understand all teachers.
Yeah.
Teachers not like they used to be at all.
They're not.
I know I got some that's in my kids' school.
But it doesn't make the whole school bad.
But we do have to hold them accountable.
They're supposed to be held accountable to a certain standard.
And that is a problem.
It is.
It is.
But it doesn't help that everybody just say they want to take their kids from public schools
and put them in private schools.
That's not fixing the problem.
It's definitely not fixing the problem, but
if the problem is not fixed right now, I gotta worry
about my kids' education and everything has to be
about, and at the end of the day, I gotta worry about
what's best for my child and what's best
for my child is making sure she gets the best education
and he gets the best education possible. Thank you for your call,
Mama. Thank y'all. Have a good day.
You too. Kenny.
Kenny.
Kenny's dead.
Morning, morning, morning.
I'm here.
Hey, Kenny.
Kenny, good morning, Kenny.
How you doing?
How you doing, guys?
We're talking public school versus private school.
What you think?
Private school, definitely, definitely.
See, right now, I'm working two jobs to send my daughter to private school.
I'm saying, I'm 21.
She's only two years old, and she in private school already.
That's what my mom did for me.
You feel me?
And I just feel like when you're in private school,
you see your parents working hard.
You know they spending this money to send you to school,
so you got to either pass
or you might as well not go to school at all.
All my friends growing up,
they went to public school,
and they either in jail right now
or they dropped out.
So what are you doing, sir? You said you work two jobs. What do you do? What did the private
school do for you?
Well, right now I started my own business. I do freight brokering, and right now I work
cable contracting. So I do day jobs and I work at home.
Well, thank you, brother.
And I ain't going to lie to y'all. I mean, because of you, I was reading your book. I
got your book in November. In January, I decided to move to Atlanta because you said,
unfortunately, you got to make that big step.
So I moved from New York to Atlanta
to save my couple dollars that I got.
Which book do you have? Because I got two
national bestsellers, New York Times bestsellers.
The first one.
Yeah, Black Privilege.
I just wanted to record the show. I graduated from public school.
I actually graduated from night school,
Berkeley High School in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. And I also want to say that my daughters, both of my kids went to public school. Thank you. I actually graduated from night school, Berkeley High School in Moncks Corner, South Carolina.
And I also want to say that my daughters,
both of my kids went to public school, and
I didn't want to take them out of public school because
I felt like I was paying taxes and I shouldn't
have to. But they just didn't like
the school and they weren't getting the education that I
thought they deserved. So I had to pay
for private school because it was best for them. I didn't want to.
I'm like, I already pay all these high taxes, but
I did what was best for them and I don't want to. I'm like, I already pay all these high taxes, but I did what was best for them, and I don't regret that decision.
And when we come back, 800-585-1051,
we're going to be talking to Principal Shells.
Yes, Principal.
Well, she's not a principal no more.
She used to be a principal.
She's actually CEO of Regeneration Schools.
Her name is Stacey Sells, a real good friend of mine.
And she has some thoughts.
She's an expert at this.
Okay, 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 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.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking public school versus private school.
Now, this conversation came from Killer Mike and I had a discussion yesterday.
Lively debate.
Uh-huh.
Now, we actually have a principal on the line right now.
Yes, this is Stacey Shells.
She's the CEO of Regeneration Schools.
You're not a principal no more, are you, Stacey?
No, I actually manage principals and I manage superintendents.
I've got a network of schools, and we're opening our next one in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Okay.
Now, Ms. Shells has some very interesting takes.
I don't even call them interesting takes.
I think that she's an expert in this subject.
She is. I'm sure she is.
You got three schools in Chicago, right, Stacey?
I have three schools, six campuses,
1,700 kids on the south side of
Chicago. Now you heard
Killer Mike and me go back and forth
yesterday and you had some comments.
We'd love to hear.
I basically think that it's the wrong
conversation to have. I don't
think that the debate is between public and private
because parents have a right
to send their kids wherever their opportunity has allotted them.
Obama sent his kids to Chicago Lab School here, which is like $20,000 for kindergarten.
And his daughter's graduated from Sidwell Friends.
And private schools aren't going anywhere and people are not going to take their children out of private schools.
So I believe in like the daily story where you change the things that you can and don't worry about the things that you can't.
The better conversation is how do
we make all schools better so that all
parents have better options?
And I think that there's just no point
in criticizing anybody for the options that
they are allotted. You worked
hard, MD, to get
to provide your children with everything you wanted
to provide them for. And no one
should question you about that.
The question is, what do we do to make all schools better?
So that way, low-income parents have opportunities to send their kids to excellent schools.
I think the discussion is good schools and schools that are struggling and have challenges.
He mentioned Booker T. Washington.
I looked up that school on Great Schools.
Unfortunately, shout out to all the educators at Booker T. Washington. I looked up that school on GreatSchools. Unfortunately, shout out to all the educators
at Booker T. Washington High School,
but that's one of the lowest performing high schools
in the city of Atlanta right now.
And so are we supposed to send our kids
to Booker T. Washington
because Martin Luther King went there over 50 years ago?
Wow.
No, and I'm glad you said that.
And see, the whole thing with public school
and private school, I guess in different areas is different in different ways.
But here in New York City growing up, public schools, they were overcrowded.
There was 40 to 50 kids per class.
They didn't have the necessary tools.
So, you know, my parents, middle class, they did what they had to do to put me in a better school, in a better school district.
And it depends on what schools we're talking about, too,
because each school is different.
Because I did go to public school at first,
and my school was a great public school
that helped me a lot from kindergarten to sixth grade.
But it depends.
And that's what Stacey's saying.
Stacey, you're basically saying it's not about public or private
because you said to me yesterday,
they just need to care,
there needs to be better systems, period.
And also, too, you got to look at the private schools.
Some private schools are good, and some private schools are the private schools. Some private schools are good and some private schools are bad.
Absolutely. Private schools are doing excellently for white children.
But if you look at how those private schools are serving their black children, their girls, are the girls doing as well in math as the boys?
And so luckily, I can actually shout to New York City.
I taught in the South Bronx in New York City Public for five years. And New York City is actually a district in America right now that's actually doing more to train their teachers than a lot of other places.
They are a part of the Relay Graduate Program.
I'm an adjunct professor there.
And they're actually really good public schools in New York.
They're really excellent charter schools.
You guys went to go visit the Uncommon High School.
They're sending kids.
Not only are they sending kids to college, their kids are also persisting and graduating from college.
You have amazing schools in Newark, New Jersey, like North Star Academy,
like my friends from Uncommon who have opened amazing schools.
The number one elementary school in the entire state of New Jersey
is a school of black and brown children in Newark, New Jersey, North Star.
Those children are outperforming.
They're poor children, and they're outperforming their wealthier counterparts.
Oh, I love the uncommon schools.
Is that the one I visited in Milwaukee and in New York?
It wasn't Milwaukee, but I love them too, by the way.
We're all a part of a similar, we're similar, right?
Who is Milwaukee?
Principal Maggie Olson, what kind of school is that?
Yes, that's a school that's very similar to Uncommon.
It's Milwaukee College Prep.
They use a lot of the relay practices as well.
It's one of the oldest charter schools in Milwaukee.
And that's a dynamic school where the kids love coming to school every single day.
Like, you see the kids, like, they get to class and they get to learning.
Is that public or private?
That's public.
Oh, that school is dope.
Yeah, salute to Principal Maggie Olson in Milwaukee.
They dope.
And just one last thing I want to say,
because I did go to public school and then private school.
It's also a cultural thing,
because I know for me going to private school,
those teachers that I had there and a lot of the students,
there was no attention paid to anything that has to do
with our cultural differences.
I definitely felt like an outcast when I went to school there.
So that was just the issue that I had.
It wasn't necessarily just about the education.
It was also about what are these kids doing about anything cultural.
And it was something that has been, I went to poly prep and it's been in the news a lot lately.
Just for those reasons, I'm saying there's been decades of them having that issue and they've never addressed it until now.
And can I tell you, I agree completely.
I went to private, I went to private Montessori school, kindergarten through sixth grade.
Montessori is not the answer.
And when I think about the kids in Covington, right,
everybody wanted to talk to the little boy named Sandman.
But, like, what about the little black boy walking with kids with MAGA hats on
and getting screamed at by black people?
We should have been talking to that kid.
Thank you for calling in, Ms. Shells.
We definitely appreciate it.
And tell them, give them the website for Regeneration Schools.
Ah, regenerationschools.org. We definitely appreciate it. Tell them, give them the website for Regeneration Schools.
RegenerationSchools.org.
We are looking for middle school principals
and teachers.
And I'll be out there too,
so I'm looking forward to that.
I can't wait.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you, Stacey.
All righty now.
Now we got a moral
to the story, guys.
The moral of the story
is I just think, you know,
it's all about your options.
You know what I mean?
And you got to do
what's right for your kids.
You know what I'm saying?
If you think that
a public school is better for your kids, cool. If you think that a private school is better for your kids, cool. I just think it's all about your options. You know what I mean? And you got to do what's right for your kids. You know what I'm saying? If you think that a public school is better for your kids, cool.
If you think that a private school is better for your kids, cool.
I just think it's all about doing the research.
And I agree with, you know, Principal Shell, Stacia.
I don't know why I keep calling her principal because she's not a principal.
She's a CEO.
But I agree with her.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just not about the schools.
It's about the systems.
Find the best system for your child.
Absolutely.
All right.
Yee, we got rumors on the way?
Yes.
Let's talk about the real.
Monique went on there and things got awkward. We'll tell you about it. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let got rumors on the way. Yes. Let's talk about the real Monique went on there and things got awkward.
We'll tell you about it. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to the rumors. Breaking news.
It's about time. What's going on?
Rumor report. Rumor report. This is the rumor report.
Talk to Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club.
Well, here's your breaking news.
Another Democrat has entered the race for the White House.
Now, he made his initial announcement on, of course, today, which is the first day of Black History Month.
Here is what Cory Booker posted in his video message. I believe that we can build a country where no one is forgotten.
No one is left behind.
Where parents can put food on the table,
where there are good paying jobs
with good benefits in every neighborhood.
Where our criminal justice system keeps us safe
instead of shuffling more children into cages and coffins.
Where we see the faces of our leaders on television
and feel pride, not shame.
I'm Cory Booker, and I'm running for president of the United States of America.
Well, another person to choose from.
It seems like the backlash of Donald Trump being president is everybody's like,
we need to save this country.
So what do you guys think about Cory Booker?
Not excited.
Need to hear more.
Yeah, I don't really know.
I mean, when Cory Booker was the mayor of Newark,
there was a lot of things that I know a lot of people were upset about.
I don't think he ever addressed.
I really don't know much of his policies or where he stands on certain things.
So I got to hear more.
I would have to hear more.
Just need to know what the plan is.
That's all.
And I think we all knew he was going to announce that he was running
because everybody kept talking about it.
So today was the day that he made that announcement.
I don't have an opinion on it either way.
I'm not excited.
I'm not angry about it.
I'm just like, okay.
It's another person throwing their hat in the ring.
All right.
Well, Monique has joined the cast.
She's joining it, too.
She's running for president, too.
No, Monique joined the ladies from The Real.
She was a guest on The Real.
And they had to address some real things.
Now here's the original comments
that Adrienne Bailon made
that had Monique upset.
I have an issue
with people thinking
that every time someone is loud
or boisterous
or saying something negative
that that's them keeping it real.
Why does it always have to be
that just because you're
all over the place
and being loud
and making a lot of noise that that's the truth and that's real?
She didn't lie.
All right.
Well, Monique did not like those comments.
And at the time when it happened, she went on social media and said that she's just young.
She's a child.
So, you know, she can't blame her.
Well, on the show, here's how the two of them discussed it.
Some time ago when I was watching the show and said, when I did the piece of the Apollo,
and you said, just because you're loud doesn't make you right.
Yeah.
And everybody said, Monique, you're going to get Adrian.
Because she threw shade.
And I said, listen, Adrian is a baby, and she's not had enough life experience
to understand the statement that she's making.
I understand it.
That's why I couldn't throw shade.
God bless Monique.
Let's drop one of
the clues bombs for Monique.
Well, much like DJ Envy
and Killer Mike,
the two of them
talked about how
they can disagree
but still have a
grown-up conversation.
Like, when you tweeted me,
I read that.
I was like, I get that.
Her experience is nothing
like I'm sure
what my experience has been.
But what I love about that
is that it starts
a conversation.
And I don't think
you should roll over
and just let anybody do anything they want to do.
And I think what we have to get away from is this.
What?
There's no beef.
No.
There's no shade.
There's no spilling tea.
We're too grown for that.
Yeah.
It's simply an honest conversation.
Yeah, that's also an honest conversation.
We just had that yesterday with Killer Mike.
That's right.
Envy just wanted respect, and he just wanted, you know,
he just asked Killer Mike to do something simple.
Don't put big penis in my mouth.
I don't put big penis in yours.
It's simple.
Me and you have beef now.
It's so simple.
Me and you have beef.
It's so simple.
Don't put his beef in your mouth.
That's all.
Don't put your beef in my mouth.
I won't put my beef in yours.
I want all the smoke with you now.
Now we got problems.
That's all it is.
It's okay.
All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report.
Angela, you don't think that was a simple request, DJ Envy asked?
I thought that was a simple request.
Now me and you have beef.
I don't know why everybody's so mad at him.
You want beef?
You want this beef?
Don't put your beef in my mouth.
I won't put my beef in yours.
Okay?
All right.
Fair enough.
Fair enough.
Aren't you glad you're not here, Yee?
Aren't you glad you're not here?
I'm here.
I'm just not there.
Aren't you glad you're not here?
If you would see what's going on in this studio.
I'm going to stay in Atlanta. I'm going to stay in Atlanta.
You're going to stay in Atlanta.
Oh, trust me.
There's going to be a lot of beef putting mouths in Atlanta.
All right?
Ruin people's weekend screaming, don't put your beef in my mouth.
And I won't put my beef in yours in Atlanta this weekend.
Oh, my goodness.
Who are you giving that donkey?
That sounds crazy.
Excuse me?
Say what?
Who are you giving that donkey to, man?
Donald Trump Jr
We need him to come to the front of the congregation
We'd like to have a word with him
We're giving him all that beat for
Alright we'll do that when we come back
Keep it locked
It's the Breakfast Club
Good morning
You get donkey of the day
Yeah you
Dumbass
You get donkey of the day
Yeah you
Dumbass
You
Are
A donkey
It's time for donkey of the day
Donkey of the day huh I of the Day, huh?
I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
They want this man to throw them blows, man.
They wait for Charlamagne to tap these gloves.
Let's go.
They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the Donkey of the Day.
They chose you.
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Donkey of the Day today.
Donkey of the Day for Friday, February 1st.
The first day of Black History Month. Drop, the first day of Black History Month.
Drop on the Clues Bumps for Black History Month.
You can go to Black History every day around here.
All right, it goes to one of the sons of Satan, Donald Trump Jr.
Now, I have never claimed to be the highest grade of weed in the dispensary.
I mispronounce a lot of words like, but not limited to, straight, screed, strong, and homocide.
Not to mention, when I write, I have to use a dictionary and a thesaurus
to find the spelling of a lot of words that may be simple to other people,
like privilege.
True story.
I have two national best-selling books, Black Privilege and Shook One, respectively,
and I caught hell spelling privilege for a few months
because I kept typing P-R-I-V-E-L-E-G-E, which is wrong.
It's privilege.
Okay, worst part is when you spell something,
oh, privilege, as in P-R-I-V-I-L-E-G-E.
Worst part is when you spell something wrong over and over,
you get mad at the red squiggly line underneath it
like it's the computer's fault.
No, Negro, you just don't know how to spell.
And that's fine.
But one thing I would never spell wrong is an acronym.
See, it's levels to being stupid.
And those amongst us who spell acronyms wrong
are a different level of stupid. But somehow, someway, Donald Trump Jr. found a way to being stupid. And those amongst us who spell acronyms wrong are a different level of stupid.
But somehow, some way, Donald Trump Jr. found a way to do it.
Let's go to MS Ampersand News for the report, please.
Donald Trump Jr. is getting mocked on Twitter for a reference to Saturday Night Live.
Instead of writing the letters S-N-L, he wrote this.
It's almost like a funny version of an S-and-L skit.
The tweet was in response to another post about Democrats' platform for 2020.
That was courtesy of S-M ampersand news, okay?
S and L, as in the letter S, the letter N, and the letter L.
Donald Trump Jr. put the letter S, the symbol, the ampersand, and the letter L.
So he put S, ampersand, L.
Am I pronouncing ampersand right?
Before I continue?
Yes.
Okay.
Like A&E, like Barnes and Noble, Batman and Robin, Fast and Furious.
Those are all ampersands.
They use the symbol.
Okay.
But that's not how Saturday Night Live works.
Okay.
I need to access Donald Trump Jr.'s emails immediately.
Not to see if it was collusion with Russia, but for comedic purposes only.
Can you imagine him asking
someone if they are attending the Ampersand
RA convention this year?
Him typing to someone, thank you to Ampersand
RA for donating $30 million to
elect my father? I need to see
the emails about Donald Trump Jr.
complaining about the players kneeling
during the national anthem
in the Ampersand FL.
I really want to know if Donald Trump Jr. can spell night, okay?
I want to know if he knows what night means.
Seriously, it's Saturday Night Live.
It's only been on for 44 years.
How can you not know this?
Live from New York, it's Saturday Night Live!
The acronym is SNL.
The letter N stands for night, okay?
There's no reason to mistake that for an ampersand ever, all right?
Donald Trump Jr. needs to be in a spelling bee with nothing but N acronyms, okay?
I need acronyms with nothing but N in them.
I need to see him spell out the Ambersand Basketball Association.
I need to see him spell out Ambersand Aeronautics and Space Administration.
I need to see Donald Trump spell out the N word.
Would you be offended if Donald Trump Jr. was to tweet out,
would all you ampersand I-G-G-A-S's shut the hell up?
Would that offend you?
Hey, you, N-word, would that offend you?
My name is Rashawn, or DJ Envy.
I'm just saying, what if he said,
would you ampersand words, please be quiet, instead of N-word?
Hey, Donald Trump Jr., we were all born ignorant, but one must work to remain stupid.
Okay, please let Remy Ma give Donald Trump Jr. the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
You stupid mother f***er.
You dumb. I think I just gave white people a new way to spell out the N-word.
All right.
Ampersand.
I didn't mean to. All right, well. Ampersand, I-G- spell out the N word. All right. Ampersand. I didn't mean to.
All right, well.
Ampersand, I-G-G-A-S.
All right, well.
Or you can just put the symbol and put words, you stupid ampersand word.
All right, well, thank you very much for that donkey today.
Now it's Friday, so you know what that means.
It's freaky.
What, you look at me like that.
Because you look like you're up to no good. that? Cause you look like you up to no good
Why does it look like I'm up to no good man?
Cause you beige people can't
Y'all got terrible poker face
You gotta stop calling me beige man
Okay well get darker
And I'll stop
I can't I can't I can't
Alright
Well it's Friday so you know what that means
It's Freaky Freaky Freaky Friday
And today's Freaky Freaky Freaky Friday question comes from our homie, Dream Doll.
Oh, okay.
Drop one of Clues Bombs for Dream Doll, damn it.
Now, did you hear what Dream Doll said?
Let's play a clip of it right fast.
I say you're the man, Tori, had a meat in my box.
Eating my ass and trying to suck my feet through my socks.
Hey!
That's right, Tori.
You're out here trying to suck feet through socks.
You're a different level of maniac.
All right.
And I need to know what other kind of maniacs are out here in these streets.
He should have never mentioned Dream Doll in reference to his diss track against Don Q.
That's right.
Well, let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
What are we asking our listeners?
Have you ever tried to suck feet through socks?
I've never heard of such levels of madness.
Someone tweeted that that happened to them before.
Let me find that tweet.
800-585-1051.
Why would you suck feet through socks?
Have you ever sucked feet through socks?
That's honestly like a woman, you know, giving fellatio while the guy is wearing a condom,
which I know a lot of women do.
A lot of people do that because it's safe sex.
I don't need to have safe oral sex.
Let me see if there's a porn category for that. You can still catch an STD. I don't need to have safe oral sex. Let me see if there's a porn category for that.
You can still catch an STD.
There's no need to have safe oral sex.
You should have safe oral sex.
I'm sorry, kids.
Especially everybody out there.
How do you have safe oral sex?
Because guys can't have safe oral sex.
Yes, you can.
How?
You can use a dental dam.
Never heard of a damn dental dam.
Not building no damn dental dam.
It's like a square piece of rubber that you make it, you know,
you pull it.
You pull it?
Yeah, you like make it,
you know, you stretch it out.
And then you put it
over your tongue
and then you
do it through the dental dam.
That's like just doing it
through a panties.
It's called a dental dam.
Isn't it like just doing it
through panties
and that the same thing?
It's like eating a burger
through the wrapper.
Who's that trying to say?
Eating a burger
through no wrapper?
It's safe.
Did you compare the vagina
to a burger?
It's called a fur burger. No, it a burger? It's called a fur burger.
No, it's not.
Who called it a fur burger?
Are you still eating fur burgers?
We go to Bear Burger over here.
Oh, my goodness.
Bear Burger?
Yes.
Drop in the clues box for Bear Burger, Debbie.
Is that right?
No, but you in the fur burger.
That's what you like.
All right.
800, I don't know.
What's going on here?
800-585-1051. Do you suck toes through socks? Oh, that's a you like. All right. 800, I don't know. What's going on here? 800-585-1051.
Do you suck toes through socks?
That's a Canadian thing.
Okay.
They do have this.
They do have porn about this.
What?
Furburgers?
No.
No, about sucking feet and toes in socks.
All right.
We'll talk about it when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, I have never. I can tell you no. Now, tell them who this came from. This came from Dream Doll.
Yeah, we'll play the clip.
Let's play the clip of it.
Dream Doll said Tory Lanez tried to suck her feet through her socks.
Now, I'm very freaky with my wife in the bed.
We've done a bunch of things, but I've never sucked toes through socks.
Well, you got something new to try this weekend.
That just seems disgusting.
It's her birthday, right?
Isn't today her birthday?
Today is her birthday. Well, you need to try it try this weekend. That just seems disgusting. It's her birthday, right? Isn't today her birthday? Today is her birthday.
Well, you need to try it.
If she wanted it, I would do it.
I mean, the most close
I would say from that is
you ever,
your wife has a,
let's say her thong on,
her panties on,
you ever like?
I definitely bite those.
Okay, there you go.
All day long.
I'm not by myself.
I'm not by myself.
No, no, no.
I definitely do that.
I bite that.
I bite that and try to
pull them down on my teeth.
There you go.
I definitely do that.
Sometimes you got to blow on it the hot.
You're hot.
Woo!
They love it.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Now you just lost me.
Now you need to try that with the socks.
Like you blow.
You just blow warm air into the...
On her tongue?
Before we get...
You guys have digressed so much.
Sorry.
Do you guys suck toes?
No.
Oh, yeah.
I sucked my wife's toes.
Yeah.
Who are you saying no to before I even asked?
I thought you meant through socks.
No. You've sucked toes.
So it's kind of similar to what you're describing now, except it's through the sock.
It's just kind of like your, it's like feet panties.
See, I don't knock anyone for what they are into sexually, but I see absolutely no reason to be sucking feet through socks.
Like, what's the point?
You have to be a different level of maniac, a different level of psychotic to suck feet through socks.
And ye, you said it's like feet panties. Ain't
no panties that material. Because if the panties
were the same material as socks, I wouldn't
put my mouth on those either. I have some
very nice socks.
Are you inviting him?
I'm just saying, I have these fishnet
type of socks, you know, things like that.
But those are stockings. You're a woman.
On xhamster.com, they have a whole
shoe sock smelling and sucking toes and feet and socks porn and all of that.
There's a video, young girls lick, sniff, suck feet and socks.
What the hell?
All right, E, freaky.
Zaylene.
Yo, what's up?
Now, you said you did it before?
Yeah, I done did it a couple times before.
What drug was you on?
We ain't going to talk about that, but, you know, the aftertaste sometimes can be a little bad, especially if she
done sweated a lot. But, you know, I
have experience with some Nike socks, you know,
and you know them things hold sweat.
So you put your whole mouth on
some Nike socks, some sweaty socks.
Yeah, I was in the moment.
Were you guys in gym class together? Yeah.
In the locker room? Yeah, we was in the locker room.
It's crazy how I'm judging you, but I eat ass.
Whole, whole, buddy.
You said the whole, whole, buddy?
I ain't never put my mouth on no butt.
But you put your mouth on dirty socks?
Yeah, don't judge me.
I know you ain't about to judge me.
Hello, who's this?
What's good, man?
It's Key from Southern North Carolina.
Key, what's up, bro?
We're talking about have you ever sucked toes through socks?
Nah, I done definitely sucked a couple toes through socks, man.
Why?
Why not just get right to the toe? Yeah, why don't you just suck the sock off? Let him explain. Man, I don't know a couple toes through socks, man. Why? Why not just get right to the toes? Yeah, why don't you just
suck the socks off? Let him explain. Man, I don't
know why I was doing it, man. I was in that mood,
you know, doing what I was doing. You know,
I done sucked a couple toes through socks, Charlamagne.
Charlamagne, I know you done sucked a couple toes through
socks. I never suck no, I never suck no
toes through socks. I don't understand the point. I would rather
just suck the toes. That's like a girl
giving you fellatio with a condom on.
That does sound kind of crazy.
Rebecca.
Hello.
Now, you're a professional foot fetish model.
What is a foot fetish model? You know, basically, there is a huge love of feet out there.
It's just kind of appreciating and admiring the beauty of what feet have to offer.
Kind of in like a sense of the way, you know, dogs go sniffing others to understand pheromones
and kind of associate themselves with who that other dog kind of might be.
So you're comparing humans to dogs?
No, it's not humans to dogs.
It's the animalistic primal nature of being attracted to someone sent through pheromones.
Oh, so people suck the sock because the sock smells like the woman?
Yeah, pretty much.
I am known for my smelly, sweaty socks.
And to be honest with you, a lot of people in my real life, you know, kind of shunned me for having smelly feet.
It made a lot of, you know, dating uncomfortable.
I'm not an ugly woman.
I'm very attractive.
You're stinky, but you got stink feet.
Yes.
I have smelly feet, but beautiful feet also.
And when I made the decision to join the foot fetish community,
you know, it was just an overwhelming form of love
and appreciation and acceptance for who I truly am.
So, yes, it may be kind of freaky to some, but to those who are into it, it honestly is a whole lot of fun and a fantastic experience.
Can I ask you a question?
Do you get foot jabs and all of that?
Oh, God, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
I don't do any of that.
I'm not an expert.
I'm not a porn star.
Oh, my gosh. So, yeah, it's more so along the lines of kind of like BGSM,
the whole power play, you know, those who are in high, powerful positions.
They worship your feet.
Put that control and have something else.
Ah, so you kick them in the n*****s and stuff like that.
I have done that before, yes.
Can I ask you a question?
How do you wash your whole body
but keep your feet clean?
So you wash everything
but your feet?
You know what?
That's my secret.
Her feet just have an odor.
A certain process
that I go through
to maintain the odor
but yet keep myself sanitized.
That's nasty.
Well, God bless you.
I'm not judging,
but you just gave me
another reason
to never suck no feet
through no socks.
Is that disgusting? How do you wash your body but keep your gave me another reason to never suck no feet through no socks. Is that disgusting?
How do you wash your body but keep your feet stinky?
All you dudes who suck feet through socks, I can imagine what you guys would do to Lamb Chop the sock puppet.
My goodness.
All right.
800-585-1051.
It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday.

Friday. And we're
asking, have you ever sucked toes
through socks? Now, it comes from Dream Doll,
the rapper, and let's hear what she had
to say when she was doing a diss record against Tory Lanez.
I was saying I didn't make a toy.
We had a meat in my box. Eat in my
ass and try to suck my feet through my socks. You know, man, I said that you have to be a different level of maniac,
a different level of psychotic to suck feet through socks.
And after hearing these first set of calls,
I am convinced that Tory Lanez is a different level of savage.
He is savage.
I don't think y'all want lyrical smoke with a man like that.
All right.
Let's go to the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
We have Ryan on the line. Ryan, good morning. How's go to the phone lines. 800-585-1051. We have Ryan on the line.
Ryan, good morning.
How's it going?
Hey, Ryan, you ever suck toes through socks, bro?
Hell no.
I would never suck toe in general.
So why the hell would I suck it through a sock?
That actually makes more sense to do it through a sock then.
Yeah, you're bugging if you would never suck a toe now.
You ain't never suck your lady's feet?
No, I love my girl.
I'll be honest with you, but I would never suck her toe.
Man, get on your knees and kiss your women's feet? Nah, I love my girl. I'll be honest with you, but I would never suck her toe. Man, get on your knees
and kiss your women's feet
sometime, bruh.
Mm-mm-mm.
What's wrong with you?
Dominic!
Yo, what's going on?
What's up, bro?
You ever suck toes
through socks?
Oh, hell yeah,
I suck a toe through a sock.
Why are you so excited, bro?
Relax.
I don't know.
I'm just excited.
My bad.
Mm-mm-mm.
You know, sometimes
you just gotta even suck a t***y through a slushie.
Oh, my gosh.
That has nothing to do with it.
You know, sometimes you just feel like that.
You can't wait to unwrap that gift, huh?
Oh, no way.
Sometimes you're just that hungry, you got to bite that burger through the wrapper.
All right, guys.
All right.
Oh, my goodness, man.
I love our listeners.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, Theo.
Hey, Theo, man.
You ever suck toes through socks, bro?
No, I ain't never sucked no toes through no socks.
That's nasty, man.
You got to suck them through.
Like, when they fresh out the shower, you know what I'm saying?
What if it's clean socks fresh out the dryer? Clean socks fresh out the dryer still don't matter, man. It's like lint all out the shower, you know what I'm saying? What if it's clean socks fresh out the dryer?
Clean socks,
it still don't matter, man.
It's like lint
all in your mouth,
you know what I'm saying?
You never know
what them socks been through.
Sometimes,
just washing and
maintaining it
completely clean,
you know what I'm saying?
And not to mention
washing and dryers
each sock.
Socks go missing for days.
So, you just gonna
finally put your mouth
on a sock that was
missing for days?
Hello, who's this?
This is Ebony.
Hey, Ebony.
You ever suck toes through socks?
No, I haven't, but I've had it done to me.
And it feels good.
It feels great.
Okay, so she likes it.
So maybe y'all should try that on your lady.
Yeah, it's like a turn-on.
It's like a spot.
But no, that, and that don't mean, you know,
just because he do that, that he weird.
It's sexy.
I hope y'all catch the flu with them wet-ass socks y'all walking
around in this cold weather.
If he'll do anal, socks ain't
nothing. As long as they clean
up, you know what, it ain't nothing.
I think the anus
is probably cleaner than socks, I'm gonna be honest with you.
Bruh, but he's not gonna
do socks if they like
some dirty socks or something. Unless he
just like it nasty like that.
Yeah, some guys like that.
Yeah, you know what I'm saying?
Like, you're not going to do it that nasty.
But if he can do that, he can do that.
Yo, but think about all the stuff you got to do to clean your socks.
You got to put them in the washer, and you got to put detergent in there.
You don't do that with your ass?
You do wash your ass.
Not with detergent?
Oh, well, you scrub it with soap.
Fabric softener? You ain't never put no fabric softener, no downy in your balls. You sure detergent. Oh, well, you scrub it with soap. Fabric softener.
You ain't never put no fabric softener, no downy in your balls.
I'm sure some people put baby powder in their balls.
It's a different cleansing.
It's a different cleaner.
Everybody's doing different things to clean themselves, but it's not nasty.
It's not weird.
You will be done tried.
Your girl might like it.
All right.
Thank you, mama.
All right.
So y'all got something new to try, guys.
You eat.
I bet you gonna try it.
So that's not really a diss then. Dream Doll, you gotta take points off you gonna try it so that's not really a distant dream doll you got to take points off your diss record because that
wasn't really a diss because people like it people like it and the moral of the story to me is men of
dogs and dogs he sucks and they like threesomes with another dude what what was in the song too
actually i think i thought about that line too i think tori was asking his boy asking him asking asking her if him and his boy could run a train on Dreamboat.
That's not what she said.
A threesome is not a train.
I mean, I can understand why she would think that was weird either way, but still.
No, she said a threesome.
Damn.
All right.
We got rumors on the way?
Yes, and Meek Mill got pulled over.
Is this bad news?
We'll tell you what happened.
All right, we'll get into that next.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Come on in.
This is a public service announcement from the Breakfast Club and Bernie Mac.
I'll tell you how it is.
It's colder than a motherfucker.
The Breakfast Club.
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 Meek Mill.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
Yes, Meek Mill, he was in Jamaica, and he got pulled over.
He was partying in Kingston, having a good time,
and then he ended up getting pulled over.
But it doesn't end badly for him.
Here's what happened.
I'm f***ed up.
Y'all pulled us over, and y'all said y'all want a picture of mine?
Y'all scared us.
We scared that poor s***.
Y'all gonna pull us over and say, yeah, we thought we'd get locked up.
Y'all say y'all want a picture?
Just give us a police escort out of Kingston.
Y'all pulled us over, and we thought police escort out of Kingston. That poor does over.
We thought we was getting in trouble. Now I wonder
how that works, right? Because when you're on probation,
like they say, you can't even really be in contact
with police. But being that the police
pulled him over and wanted to take
a picture, like that's on them,
right? Yeah, he should be good. Yeah, he's fine. That's not gonna
be an issue. Hopefully. Alright,
now Monique, according to the Jasmine brand,
they have an exclusive,
which says that she got into a confrontation with Steve Harvey on the on the set of his daytime talk show, Steve. According to sources, he was telling her that she needed to apologize to Whoopi Goldberg
for some comments that she made about Whoopi Goldberg. You guys remember what she said?
Sort of. Not really. Well, she said some things about Whoopi, Tyler Perry, and Steve Harvey was like, you need
to apologize for those comments.
She referred to Whoopi as the help.
Okay.
Which is not nice.
And I guess things got a little bit more turned up from there and it might've gotten physical.
She threatened to hit Steve in the face.
And he said that if she hit him, her husband would have to come out and square off.
That's true though. That's very gentlemanly.
For real, a woman slap you,
you stand up and be like, where your husband at?
I'm about to whoop your husband ass.
So she slapped him allegedly? No,
threatened to slap him. She threatened to hit him in the
face. Now the cameras were rolling so we don't know
if that's going to end up airing because that interview hasn't come
out yet, but I guess we'll see if they're going
to use it or not. I would think not.
That don't sound like she love us for real.
Shut up.
All right.
Now, Jermaine Jackson has addressed
that Michael Jackson documentary
that's out leaving Neverland,
which is talking about Michael Jackson
and the slumber parties he's had with kids
and all kinds of accusations.
Well, he said, let me interject.
These were slumber parties.
And what they didn't tell you was there were little girls there, even with their parents,
their uncles.
And it was sitting down watching movies during the time.
I believe he was instructed by one of his legal team to do that.
And that's why everybody is coming forward now.
I will say this.
Even when that settlement happened, the father killed himself because of guilt.
And then the kid said Michael never touched him.
So that was about the 2005 child molestation trial.
I think that documentary leaving Neverland is so unethical.
I can't believe somebody would make that documentary.
I can't believe HBO would buy that documentary to air it.
Those two guys on that doc said under oath that Michael Jackson never touched him.
Right.
So I don't understand how, you know, we can salute perjury.
Like you're literally paying somebody that committed perjury on the stand.
So why should we believe anything that they say?
All right, well, you want to hear some good news?
Soulja Boy, he has signed a new deal
with Warner Chapel Music, so congratulations to him.
He posted that.
Here's what he said in his freestyle.
Soulja Boy tell me,
ooh, 10 chains on like Rockefeller. Ooh, feel like hoes with my wrist on the stone. And it's freestyle.
Yes, shout out to my guy, Ryan Press, who actually did that deal with him.
I see him in the picture.
He hit me up right after we did the Soulja Boy interview, and he said, yo, I'm going to sign him to Warner Chapel.
What can we do? Drop one of Clues bombs for Soulja Boy.
Let's not act like the Breakfast Club interview didn't change his life.
All right?
Since Soulja Boy out here taking credit for everybody else, which, you know, let's not
act like the Breakfast Club interview didn't change his life.
We brought you back.
But I just want to say, don't let any other artists come up thinking the same thing's
going to happen for them.
Don't try to pull a Soulja Boy.
No, see, that's the thing.
I'm glad you said that.
Soulja Boy was very organic.
And actually, Soulja Boy had a foundation to stand on because it's not like the things he was saying was so out of the realm of possibility.
Yeah, Soulja Boy is the godfather to this whole new generation of, you know, Internet hip-hop.
Before there was SoundCloud rappers, there was Soulja Boy.
Before there was screaming rappers, there was Soulja Boy.
So he laid the groundwork for that.
All right, and last but not least, shout out to T.I.
He posted, be clear.
These faces, along with a host of others that look like us,
laid the foundation for the infrastructure artistic ecosystem
you now know as Atlanta.
This our ish, and we run this city.
Don't get it effed up.
We'll adjust the temperature to make it as hot or cold as we see fit.
If we ain't with it, it ain't ish.
Sincerely, King.
And it's a picture of him, Jeezy, and Ludacris.
He's absolutely right.
I mean, you know, I would add Lil Jon into that mix too.
But I mean, those are people from Atlanta
who went from Atlanta to international fame.
So, you know, they definitely laid the groundwork for all of these new Atlanta artists to be international superstars.
That's a fact.
And by the way, they were all at the EA Sports Bowl yesterday.
Lil Jon was there as well.
He did a DJ set also.
So it was really popping.
But before them, it was Outkast and Goody Mob.
Yes, definitely Outkast and Goody Mob.
Then they laid down the foundation. Those guys definitely took everything to another level.
Yes, they did.
T.I. and Jeezy and Ludus.
All right.
Well, it is Super Bowl weekend out here in Atlanta.
I'm in Atlanta.
Envy's on his way here now.
So we'll keep you guys updated on social media, I'm sure.
Absolutely.
All right.
Well, that's your Room Report.
Shout out to my wife again.
Today is her birthday.
So we're going to be celebrating all weekend in Atlanta.
And my wife is Jamaican.
I know a lot of you don't.
Maybe no, maybe don't.
She's Jamaican and Puerto Rican, so, and Chinese.
So she loves Jamaican music.
So I'm going to play some West Indian music
for the mix this morning, all right?
Let me know your...
Some dance-off tunes.
So let me know your favorite tune you want to hear.
Calling me up right now.
Don't do that, too.
Don't do that.
That's offensive.
What's the number?
585-10151-TREE.
I just went like the same as Tree.
How do you think the Jamaican community would feel about what you said yesterday during the Killer Mike interview?
Hit it, drum.
Don't put big penis in my mouth.
I don't put big penis in yours.
What word would they use to describe what they just heard?
No comment. I'm not playing with you.
Revolt, we'll see you Monday.
Everybody else, the mix is up next at the Breakfast Club.
Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ
Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We have a
special guest in the building, and I'm not going to mess up
your name, young lady. How do you pronounce
your name? Keylanda. Keylanda?
Yes. Keylanda Rembert.
Yes.
Okay.
I pray for hip-hop.
Yes, indeed.
She prays for hip-hop.
Tell people what does that mean, Keylanda?
That means that I pray for the hip-hop community,
even for you guys, radio station,
anybody within the hip-hop community.
I pray that God would just touch your hearts
and that whatever you're going through,
that he would help you through it.
Let me tell you how I met Keylanda.
I was having lunch with Angela R rye one day and i just
walked out of the place we were eating at and kilanda just ran up on me it was like hey
charlemagne can i pray for you i don't turn down no prayer absolutely no i need it so we prayed
she we held hands and we prayed in the middle of the street then i saw her again coming out
of hunting fish club one night with her mom and was your sister what you didn't tell me yeah my
sister was there too.
And she was like, Charlemagne.
Had a little conversation.
You want to pray?
Of course.
Absolutely.
Why wouldn't I want to get this prayer?
So when did you realize God was using you?
It was back in 2011.
I was at a prayer meeting at my church.
And the speaker, Elisa Cammy, she spoke about Amy Winehouse.
And that year, Amy Winehouse had died.
And so it was something that really gripped me because she spoke about her.
And for the first time in like a while, I was able to see her just as a human.
And now like because sometimes we see people like the artist.
But like I saw her as a human and I realized I never took the opportunity to pray for her
and like all the things that I saw she was going through.
And so then God started to immediately like start to speak to me about hip hop.
Like, why aren't you praying for them?
And he starts to put a bunch of different faces before me.
I was like, all right, God, let's do this.
And I said, God, how do you want to do this?
How do you want me to do this?
How do you want me to pray?
And I said, because there's very significant things.
It's either three days, seven days, 40 days.
Like, what is it?
And he told me like 40 nights.
I want you to spend 40 nights praying for hip hop.
So January in 2012, I spent 40 nights praying and fasting
for the hip-hop community.
And since then, I've just kept going, like praying.
Really?
What are your biggest concerns for the hip-hop community right now?
My biggest concerns is just where kind of the content of the music
is heading in sometimes.
Like, because I work with kids as well.
I'm a teacher.
I teach junior high kids.
And I see a lot of the impact that they have from hip-hop.
They don't come out of class speaking about their last history class or science they come out speaking about yo did you hear that song
and so just and I see how they're so impacted by the content and the images that they see that they
even like put it on and start behaving in a manner and I'm like I want them to be impacted by good
hip-hop as well because I don't feel like all hip-hop is bad but I feel like there some adjustments
can be made in some areas.
What are some of the people you ran into that you prayed for?
I've run into Nelly,
Jermaine Dupri,
Designer, Iggy Azalea,
Russell Simmons. I ran into Russell Simmons
in the elevator. It was so random. Every time I've
run into somebody, it's been super random. I don't
see where they are. He's not stalking him. He's not
stalking Charlamagne. Nah, you know it
because it was so random.
Super random.
Did you pray for Kanye West
when he was going through his stuff?
I did.
And we actually,
especially when things started
first initially coming up
about Kanye,
I even have it on my page,
Pray for Kanye.
I took a day,
had a prayer call.
We was praying for him.
And even this past,
within these last 31 days,
we've prayed for him
a few times.
You pray for the Breakfast Club?
Yes, we pray for you guys, indeed.
When you do these prayers, do you do them at home in private,
or do you do them on social media?
Like, what are you doing?
This year is the first year I actually went live,
and we've been going live every day at 9.30 praying.
Yeah, on the Pray For Hip Hop page.
Well, guess what?
It's 9.30 now.
Daniel, can you round everybody up?
Go get Taylor and Sim and Wax and who else?
Is Nyla here yet?
Nyla's not here?
Let's round everybody up and let's get a good prayer.
A good prayer going.
Mike don't want in on his prayer?
Mike don't want no prayer?
Who?
What's his name?
His name is Tony.
His name ain't Mike.
Pray for me, Keelan, to remember people's names.
Tony!
My G!
What's up, bro, bro?
Hey, come on.
Come on, let's join hands.
Keylanda's going to lead us in prayer.
Come on, man.
Father God, in the name of Jesus, Lord, I just thank you so much, God, for this moment, Lord.
And I know that this is beyond each and every one of us, Lord.
And I just pray, God, for everybody in this room, God, everybody who's represented here and those, God, within the hip hop community everywhere, God, who will be listening to this, Lord.
I pray that you would touch their hearts, God.
I pray that you would be able to grip their minds and show them how much you love them, God.
Beyond the beats, beyond the lyrics, you see them as the human that they are.
You see them as a soul.
You don't see their accolades, oh, God.
You don't see any of those things, God.
You see them as somebody that you love and want to help through every single issue that they're going through, Lord. And I just pray that the same way you've done it for
me, and you're not a respective of persons, oh God, you play no favorites, God. So the same way you
were able to meet me, I pray that you would meet each and every one of them. Allow them to experience
your presence. Allow them to know just how much you value them, how much they are worth, oh God,
and just the identity that you've given them, God. I pray that they will be able to walk in the fullness of it, Lord, that they wouldn't settle,
oh God, to be bound by the things that they're going through, but that you would lift up their
hearts, oh God, encourage their very soul, oh God, and let them know today that there is a hope that
lives in Jesus, oh God, and that you are willing to meet them. And you're not asking them to be
perfect. You're not asking them to try and come in the best way, in any way, oh God. You're asking them to come as they are, God. So even in this
moment, Lord, I pray that you would begin to let them know, Lord, just how much they mean to you,
Lord. And I thank you for all that you're going to do. And I pray that you would just continue
to allow your voice to be heard. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. Amen. All right. Hey.
All right. Give me your social media handles, Keylanda.
Keylanda.
Keylanda, I'm sorry.
It's K-E-I underscore L-A-N-D-A and at Pray For Hip Hop.
Thank you, Keylanda.
No problem.
Thank you, guys.
All right.
Well, thank you, Keylanda, for joining us.
When we come back, we got your positive note.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, shout out to everybody in Atlanta.
There's a lot going on tonight.
I'll be hanging out with T.I. at T.I.'s Trap Gala.
T.I. had a roller skating party yesterday, too.
Yeah, that's going to be at the Super Atrium.
And then Saturday, I got a day party at Daydreams,
and it's Sunday, Magic City.
And like I said, it's my wife's birthday today,
so we're going to be celebrating all weekend long.
So if you see her or see her, shout us a holla.
All right.
Happy birthday again to Gia.
Happy birthday, Gia.
Now you get here to Atlanta.
I'm here for one more night.
I got an event I have to do tonight, and then I'm out of here tomorrow.
But I had an excellent time yesterday at the EA Sports.
I haven't really slept much.
And Paris, who works with me, is in here snoring loud as hell.
So I'm trying to, I've been trying to talk quietly on the mic so as not to wake her up.
Are y'all going to have a chance to go back to the room and get some sleep today?
Yes, I am.
I'm going to have, I don't have to do anything until later tonight.
So, but there's a lot of activities today.
There's a day party for the mayor, Keisha Lance Bottoms.
Oh yeah, I got to do that today.
Yeah, I got to do that too.
Yeah, she has a day party today.
So that should be really cool.
Yeah, I'm going straight from the airport there.
Shout out to the mayor.
Appreciate you.
I think G-Star has an event.
There's like a billion different things going on.
I'm going to go to the G-Star event.
Icebox.
There's like so many different things happening because it is Atlanta and it is Super Bowl weekend.
Oh, I also forgot.
You told me to invite you.
50 Cent said if you're free, he's doing a casting for the BMF movie.
If you want to help
pick some people out, it's at
Sweet Lounge today from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
So he said if you free, come on
through. Oh, we get to pick and casting?
All right, I'm in. All right, so that's today
too. But Charlamagne, leave us on a positive note.
Listen, man, today is the first day of Black History Month,
man, so I want to quote a Black History
Month legend named Booker T. Washington.
Booker T. Washington said, success is to be measured not so much by the position that one is reached in life,
but by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
Breakfast club, bitches!
You all finished or you all done?
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.
