The Breakfast Club - Red Toxic Talk

Episode Date: July 13, 2020

Today we had only C and E or better known as Charlamagne and DJ Envy go live today, and they had a lot to say about the recent Red Table Talk with Jada and Will Smith about her "entanglement" with Aug...ust Alsina; so we had to open the phone lines to see what our listeners thought about it. Moreover, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to Betsy Devofos for wanting kids to go back to school so we opened up the phone lines to see if our listeners are against it or with bringing their kids back to school.

Starting point is 00:00:00 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.

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, brother you know what man this is a really good weekend uh i was in uh south carolina um for the past couple of weeks i got back on on saturday and you know got back to the crib and one of the highlights of my weekend was the fact that uh my beautiful 12 year old uh daughter um 100 african-american woman because contrary to the internet's popular belief, I am married to a beautiful black woman. The Internet likes to say I'm married to a white woman. But let me tell you something. One of the highlights of my weekend was her discovering the Proud family on Disney+. Drop on the clues, boss, for the Proud family. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:01 All day yesterday, she was just binge-watching The Proud Family. And I kept asking her, I'm like, who put you on to The Proud Family? And she was like, I've been watching The Proud Family. I never saw it. I didn't see her watching The Proud Family. But, you know, the fact that she's so into The Proud Family for some reason made me extremely happy.
Starting point is 00:04:19 That's why representation matters. That's why diversity matters, whether it's a TV show, a film, a cartoon. When a young 12-year-old black girl can look at TV and see representation of herself, even if it's a cartoon. That's right. And it really gives her something to gravitate towards, and she really was into it. So I kept hearing that theme song all day yesterday in my house, and for some reason that brought me joy. I was proud that my 12 year old was binge watching the Proud Family. Because I had a great weekend.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Now, shout out to everybody in Toronto. Over the weekend, Flo 93 5, that's our station out in Toronto. Shout out to DJ Charlie B. We raised over $55,000 for DJs United Against Racism. That was for the Black
Starting point is 00:05:06 Healthcare Alliance to make sure our own had healthcare, to make sure our own was healthy, to make sure our own was taken care of. So there was a bunch of DJs on that bill. Me, Clue, Quicksilver, Infamous, DJs from all around the country
Starting point is 00:05:22 DJed and we raised over $55,000. So that was it. That was dope. So definitely shout out to everybody in the six. So clearly Drake and nobody from OVO was listening. Why? That's pocket change for Drake.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Yeah, Drake could have donated. You could have matched that five times over if you wanted to. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if he did donate. Maybe he's just doing a 20. Maybe he's doing a 30. We don't know. I don't know if he did donate. Maybe he's just doing a 20. Maybe he's doing a 30. We don't know. We don't know what, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:46 what people donated or what he felt or what, you know, what he was putting his money towards. But anyway, let's get... I don't understand why artists don't take advantage
Starting point is 00:05:54 of legal payola. Like, that is the time where you, you know, make a little donation to the DJs and give a little wink and a nod. Yeah, but that ain't
Starting point is 00:06:01 for the DJs. That was for the Black Health Alliance. That's what that was for. I know, but it's just the principle. You know what I'm saying? It's just like, hey, I see y'all. I'm looking out for y'all.
Starting point is 00:06:10 You know what I mean? I'm looking out for everybody. You know what I mean? I see what y'all doing, DJs. Slide them a little something, something. Wink, wink, wink, wink. Yeah, a little wink. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:06:19 Remember who looked out for you when you needed it for the Black health care workers in Toronto? All right. All right. Well, when we come back, we got front page news. What's up? Oh, no. I was discussing all weekend that red toxic talk we saw. The red talk. The 12-minute red toxic talk. Oh, entanglement?
Starting point is 00:06:36 I guess we'll talk about that later in the show. A little entanglement. Alright, we'll get to that in a little bit. But now we got front page news coming up. We'll tell you about COVID-19, coronavirus. It's still here, guys. It's still here. Hasn't gone anywhere. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Now, the World Health Organization reported the highest daily number of COVID-19 cases globally on Sunday with 230,000 new infections. Now, at least 33 states are seeing higher rates of new cases. Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Now, there are only three states reporting declining rates, and that is New Jersey, Maine, and Delaware. New York is holding steady. I thought New York was declining.
Starting point is 00:07:44 I thought I saw something yesterday where New York hasn holding steady. I thought New York was declining. I thought I saw something yesterday when New York hasn't had no deaths since March or something like that. Or did I make that up? They put New York into 14 states that are holding steady with Alaska, Arizona, Maryland, Mississippi, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Starting point is 00:08:02 Washington, and Wyoming. I don't know how South Carolina is holding steady. South Carolina has the third highest coronavirus rate in the world. Like literally in the world. I did two coronavirus testing sites in North Charleston, South Carolina, this weekend at the Trident Technical College Thornley campus. So salute to South Carolina DHEC and MUSC Health for helping us to put that together.
Starting point is 00:08:26 We tested like a couple thousand people. Because if our government isn't going to do it, I guess us private citizens that have the resources to do it got to take things into our own hands. Yeah, also they're saying that the Florida Department of Health has reported at least 15,000 new COVID cases. This is the highest number of new cases in a single day by any state since the coronavirus pandemic began. Which is crazy.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Oh, yeah. Our producer just corrected me. He said New York City had no deaths Saturday. The state as a whole is holding steady currently. That's per CNN. Yep. Now, also, Disney World reopens as COVID cases surge. I don't know how that makes sense, but Disney World is reopening.
Starting point is 00:09:11 I don't understand that. Sending the wrong message. I don't know. Sending the wrong message like Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith on Red Toxic Talk. But we'll talk about it later. Sending the totally wrong message. Yeah, I can't see how Disney is opening message yeah i i can't see how disney is opening right now i i can't see how amusement parks can socially distance i can't see how you
Starting point is 00:09:30 get on a roller coaster and you you're gonna clean a roller coaster after everybody gets on you know those lines of disney be crazy anyway so could you imagine yeah i read a story about in japan how uh the theme parks are open but they don't want people to scream on rides. Because if you scream on rides, you increase the chances of spreading coronavirus. How the hell you get on a ride and not scream? Don't scream. Yeah, that sounds crazy. That sounds crazy.
Starting point is 00:09:56 They also said. It's like telling me don't moan during sex. How am I supposed to not do that? How you doing? How you moan during sex? It's Monday, sir. We're not starting that off. It's not going to be
Starting point is 00:10:07 Monday. I'm just asking the question. Sick bastard. Now, they also say that they suspended the fireworks shows and parades to avoid large crowds.
Starting point is 00:10:16 So, I mean, I was talking to my wife about this. Even though they say things are opening up, even though they say schools are opening up, you got to do what's best for you, right?
Starting point is 00:10:27 You got to do what's best for you. You can't believe everything you hear because sometimes they honestly don't know. And you have to do what's best for you. If you don't feel safe with your child going to school, then don't put them to school. If you don't feel safe with, you know, going to amusement parks or Disney World or going to Miami or Atlanta, then don't go. Stay your ass at home. Everything is a case-by-case basis.
Starting point is 00:10:47 You know, me and my family decided to fly. We flew twice in the past couple of weeks, flew to South Carolina and flew back. And, I mean, honestly, the airport was cool. It was, like, easy breezy, got right through. Everybody had their mask on, I guess because it's mandatory in the airport. You got to wear your mask on the plane. The plane was clean but like I said everything is a case by case basis you do what's best for you
Starting point is 00:11:12 and your family I don't think that I'm putting my daughter back in school in the fall I don't think I'm doing that either but alright that is front page news get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent hit us up right now phone lines are wide open again the number is 800-585-1051.

Starting point is 00:11:40 Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel.

Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is your time to wherever you get your podcasts. problem with the news. You know what I'm saying about the pandemic and this coronavirus and stuff like that? How they're giving out all these numbers that so many people are sick. But how do we know?
Starting point is 00:15:30 Like, where are the families of these people that's actually sick? You know, I want to see somebody that's telling me on the news that their mother, their father, their sister, their brother, cousin, whatever, is sick. It's over 100,000 people. Where are the families of these 100,000 people? So you think they're lying to you? You mean dead, you mean. is sick. It's over 100,000 people. Where are the families of these 100,000 people?
Starting point is 00:15:45 So you think they're lying to you? You mean dead, you mean? Not sick. You said sick. You mean the people that died? Because there's over 3 million cases. It's like over 100,000 deaths. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Yeah, but where are the families that can give me some type of proof and tell me, like, these are the family members that have died or even got sick from the coronavirus. How do I know? Why do the news always have to be so extra? Like, I know it's out there because I know a few people that have it, but my thing is over 100,000 people, where's the family members at? You mean 100,000 people that died, you mean?
Starting point is 00:16:18 Yeah, she wants to know what the families of the people that died, how come they haven't said anything. There are people saying these things, so you think it's a hoax. Do you know that they have coronavirus parties where they party with people with coronavirus? She said she think it was real because she don't call people that had it. No, people are dying.
Starting point is 00:16:32 People are really dying. But the numbers that they giving out, you know, they got my mother scared to come outside. And it's like, she don't even want to travel. And I don't want my mom to be like that. But I want her to be, you know, take precaution and everything but it's just the numbers that they give them.
Starting point is 00:16:48 It's like, I want to see 100,000 family members that tell me, you know, my family members that died or even got sick. Let me see that. You know what I would like for the news to do? I would like for the news to talk about the number of people that recovered more. I think that's a number that they should post up.
Starting point is 00:17:04 They say, oh, 3 million people in America have it. It makes it seem like 3 million people in America have it right now. None of those people recovered. I would love to see the recoveries. Yeah, 135,000 people died, but the reason I think they tell you about the deaths more is because I think they want people to take it serious because there's a lot of people not taking it serious.
Starting point is 00:17:20 When I went out the other day, I seen a lot of people not wearing masks. I see all these corona parties where people are partying with people with corona to see if they get it. Like, it's crazy out there. And you better be safe than sorry. Like, you don't want to play with it and be like, well, I didn't see a family. And then you become one of the families. Like, you be careful out there.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Yeah, exactly. Like I said, I've seen it. But it's just that the numbers just make people so paranoid that they don't even want to come outside at all because, you know, over 100,000 people are sick or even dying. But just be honest with it. Like, don't be extra. Like, I just feel like this is a little extra, you know, but I just wish that I could just see those family members and that they could tell me, you know, that their family died or got sick, maybe I could, like, want to watch the news because I don't like watching the news at all.
Starting point is 00:18:10 Alright, my boy. Thank you. Hello, who's this? My name's Chris. Chris, what up? What's up, Chris? Where you calling from, Chris? I'm calling from VA. What up, Chris? Alright, so with this corona stuff that's going on,
Starting point is 00:18:24 I work at the post office, and it has come to my attention that upper management don't want management to say something because somebody in the station has Corona. And I know it's like ethically wrong to put their name out there, but I think it's like it's real reckless not to alert everybody in the station that somebody has it, you know, because people got kids. You know, you don't know what somebody's at-home situation is, and you're putting everybody at risk.
Starting point is 00:18:51 And I just can't rock with that. What station? I can't put it out like that, but I'm going to make sure that I let my people in. Have you complained? Say what now? Have you complained to upper management, supervisors, somebody? So I have complained, but they can't say nothing at risk of losing their job. So I feel like it's my responsibility to let my coworkers know, you know, because we got to stick together.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Management's not going to look out for us. They just want to make us come to work so the mail gets out. They don't care about us. So I feel like it's my job to let my coworkers know what's up. All righty, brother. True. You don't want to tell us what station you're on. Damn, Jamos.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Nothing wrong with being a whistleblower for something like that because you're protecting other people. Absolutely. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:19:42 The Breakfast Club. I'm telling. I'm telling. I'm telling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling. I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed.
Starting point is 00:19:55 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, how's it going, guys? Good morning. It's RJ. How y'all doing? What's up, RJ? Get it off your chest, brother. How? Hey, how's it going, guys? Good morning. It's RJ. How y'all doing? What's up, RJ?
Starting point is 00:20:05 Get it off your chest, brother. How you doing, King? Hey, how are you? I was just calling in. Today's my fiance's birthday. I proposed to her Saturday. I just wanted to show her some love with the Breakfast Club this morning. Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:18 What's that sensitive emotional cancer's name that you just got engaged to? Her name is Ms. Shaniqua Marsh. She's actually right here. Let me speak to her. My cancer brethren. Shaniqua, good morning. Happy birthday. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:20:32 What y'all doing today? We got something. I can't tell you right now. I'm surprised. Okay. All right. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:39 How much did Shaniqua cry on Saturday when you proposed to her? I know she's a sensitive emotional cancer like me, so I know she let them tears of joy flow. You know, the moment was so special. We actually both cried, brother. So, you know, it was a good moment. All right, brother. That's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Well, love your queen, brother. Yeah, love your queen. Don't, you know, say things like ride together, die together, bad marriage for life with your queen. Don't approach it like that, okay? Black man on cheap. There you go. There you go.
Starting point is 00:21:07 All right. You too now. Hello, who's this? Yo. What's up, Envy? What's up, Envy? Wait, is Sharla and Envy there? I mean, is Sharla and you there?
Starting point is 00:21:16 Is Sharla there? You not here today? I'm here. You not here. Okay, man. Every time I call, I've never talked to you. I don't know if she's never talked to me. But I want to talk about Moneybagg.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Yo, he bought his lady the Urus, the Lambo truck, and his baby mama over here tripping. And I don't understand that because I guess supposedly she's the one who left him, but she over here commenting, whoop-de-whoop. And I just don't like the baby mamas. I feel like they're too entitled. Well, I would say, one, that you're a little too tied into this. Yeah, baby, I really don't know the story,
Starting point is 00:21:50 but I can't see him having a problem if he has a new girlfriend and he's not with his baby mom and he wants to buy his new girlfriend something nice. I don't see a problem with that. Yeah, I don't see a problem with it. The baby moment is over there tripping. I'm sure that if I'm money bag, yo, you know what I'm saying? I buy my girl who I'm with
Starting point is 00:22:07 the Lambo truck and you know I buy my baby mama a nice little Honda CRV, you know what I'm saying? Maybe a Toyota Highlander, you know what I mean? A Subaru Forester, those are nice SUVs for a baby mama Yeah, and I'm upset cause I called a while back, probably
Starting point is 00:22:23 two weeks ago, no, probably like a month ago. And I asked you, Charlotte, for a book, and you said that y'all sent the book out. I still haven't gotten that book. It's been like a month. You know why? And this is my fault. I'm not in the studio, and all the books are at the studio, I believe. And so I don't have somebody up there to mail them out.
Starting point is 00:22:43 So what I'm hoping is that, you know, when we get back in the studio, which I pray is in the next few weeks, I could just start sending them out to everybody. But what I can do for you right now is I can send you a copy of The Unapologetic Guide to Black Mental Health by Dr. Rita Walker, which I think is an amazing book. You know, my book, Shook One, is about mental health and my personal, you know, struggles with anxiety and depression.
Starting point is 00:23:05 But her book, she's an actual doctor. So she's an actual expert. I'm just an advocate telling people my experiences and inspiring you to go talk to the experts like Dr. Rita. Let me just send you the book on the experts. So if you leave your address right now, I will have that shipped out to you today. Cool, I will. And could y'all add me on IG at Jabari.Brown? Let me consult Moneybagg Yo and see what he would do.
Starting point is 00:23:31 You stupid. All right, man. Have a good one. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. When we come back, we got to talk J.R. Smith. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.

Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk J.R. Smith.
Starting point is 00:27:22 It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. With Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Now J.R. Smith, who signed with the Lakers earlier this month, was forced to shut down a
Starting point is 00:27:37 recent Instagram live session because they, in quotations, were angered by him exposing too much. Alright, let's hear the audio angered by him exposing too much. All right, let's hear the audio. Look at the blanket, bro. I know, brah, AD, you need to 6'12". I know they not using this little blanket, bro. Y'all got to chill.
Starting point is 00:27:56 But they'll be over there crying, talking about somebody can't stay healthy, and their body breaking down, and all this other shit. I'm just saying, you want a Ferrari to run like a Ferrari, because you pay for it as a Ferrari, but you keep gassing it up with a Chrysler. Oh, man. They mad at me, bro. I'm gone.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Just got the text. Exposing too much. You know, I saw my man Jay Williams of ESPN. I saw him post something on Instagram that I thought was very true. He was like, a lot of the NBA players sound tone deaf when they're complaining about their conditions, complaining about what they're eating at a time like this, you know,
Starting point is 00:28:33 when people would kill for those same meals, you know what I mean, that they are acting like aren't good enough, or kids that would love to have some of that candy but can't afford it, even though it may not be good for you. You know what I'm saying? Complaining about your living conditions when, you know, people are living in literal one-bedroom, two-bedroom apartments that those hotel rooms are bigger than
Starting point is 00:28:55 and barely can't even afford to pay the rent there because the economy is so bad. It does come off as tone deaf. Yeah. And also, Rajon Rondo suffered a broken right thumb in practice Sunday in Orlando.
Starting point is 00:29:08 He's going to be out for six to eight weeks. So I'm assuming he has to stay there, right? So if he wants to play again, he has to stay there for those six to eight weeks, I'm assuming, regardless.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Do they even have six to eight weeks? I guess they do have six to eight weeks. Yeah, I think they got six to eight weeks. The finals would be in October or something
Starting point is 00:29:21 if they made it to the finals. And he plays for the Lakers, right? Yep. Yep, yep, yep. So they'll plays for the Lakers, right? Yep. They'll be late in the playoffs, I'm sure. Now Donald Trump says that it shouldn't be hard for Kanye West to take away votes from Biden. On Saturday
Starting point is 00:29:36 he put out that tweet. So I'm guessing he feels that Trump, that Kanye is on his side and going to be taking stuff from, as Trump calls him, corrupt Joe. So we'll see. Did y'all listen to me last week? I told y'all this is not even a story.
Starting point is 00:29:53 It's not a story because Kanye West is not registered with the Federal Election Commission. He's not really running for president. It's not real. Can't take away votes from somebody if you're really not running. Okay? It's not real. You can't take away votes from somebody if you're really not running. Okay? It's not happening. Now, rumor has it that Kanye West reached out to Charlamagne Tha God and asked him to be his secretary of defense.
Starting point is 00:30:15 He posted a tweet and said, Good morning, brother. It's Kanye West. May I call you? You replied, Peace King, yes, sir. So what was that conversation about? That conversation was like any conversation that me and kanye have every other week i talked to kanye west all the time
Starting point is 00:30:29 like me and kanye communicate quite frequently and and always have so that was that was just one of those moments where kanye wanted to the the post post post the screenshot i guess i i don't know and i was confused with that yeah and if you look i retweeted him and i said yes um i'm called dr claude anderson because you know kanye west has been saying he wants to talk to dr claude anderson for a long long long time you know dr claude anderson is you know a author of the book powernomics and uh books like dirty little secrets great great brilliant brilliant brother one of our dearest elders out here and And, you know, I'm always trying to connect the dots between people who I think can do some real community building.
Starting point is 00:31:09 And I think with Kanye's resources and Dr. Claude's ideas, you know, they can build something great, especially if you've ever read Powernomics, right? So it's like, yeah, I told him to call Dr. Claude. Like, I always try to point Kanye in the direction of the elders. That's all. Okay. Did he speak to the doctor? No, he has not called Dr. Claude Anderson yet.
Starting point is 00:31:28 Yes, he needs to. He called me talking about Dr. Claude all the time because he actually watched Dr. Claude when Dr. Claude was on The Breakfast Club. And I keep telling him, well, reach out to Dr. Claude instead of, you know, calling me to talk about Dr. Claude and how much you love Dr. Claude's ideas. Reach out to him. All right.ude and how much you love Dr. Claude's ideas, reach out to him.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Mm. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. Let's talk the schools. Will the schools be open? Is it safe, or should they remain closed? We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Gab. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. All right, we got to start off with coronavirus. Coronavirus is back. I don't know if you guys have heard, all right?
Starting point is 00:32:12 Now, the world has been back. It never went nowhere. Nobody was talking about it for a long time. Now, they're starting to talk about it again. As cases begin to spike. Now, people are talking about it again. Now, they reported the highest daily number of COVID-19 cases globally on Sunday with 230,000 new infections. They're saying 33 states are seeing higher rates of new cases compared to the previous week.
Starting point is 00:32:36 The only states where they got declining rates are Delaware, Maine, and New Jersey. They said Florida shattered the U.S. record for single day COVID-19 cases with 15,299 new COVID-19 cases. The highest number of new cases in a single day by any state since the coronavirus pandemic began. Now with that, with that, Disney World is reopening. Now, could you imagine they're saying Florida has the highest record
Starting point is 00:33:04 for any single day COVID-19 cases and Disney World is reopening. Now, could you imagine they're saying Florida has the highest record for any single day COVID-19 cases and Disney World is reopening. All people care about in this capitalist society is money. They don't care about people. You know what I'm saying? And I have to salute South Carolina.
Starting point is 00:33:20 South Carolina is my home state. They have the third highest coronavirus rate in the world. And I did two free coronavirus testing sites in North Charleston this weekend. Salute to South Carolina DHEC and MUSC Health. We tested a couple thousands of people. And the reason I guess we as private citizens have to do that, because clearly we have no leadership in America.
Starting point is 00:33:43 And since the American government isn't providing, you know, the proper amount of testing that America needs, I guess those of us with means and resources have to take matters into our own hands and do it. Yeah, absolutely. We wait on this country, boy. We're going to all be in Disney World coughing. Yeah, and I get it.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I know a lot of people want to open up, and I know a lot of people are like, well, why Disney? Well, I understand Disney is a billion-dollar company, but there's a lot of people that work for Disney that need to pay their bills. So but it doesn't need to open up right now. It definitely doesn't. I do wonder if the people that pretend to be the cartoon characters at Disney, you know, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Daffy, Donald, whatever. I don't know which duck it is. I want to do those masks, prevent them from, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:26 spreading coronavirus. I'm sure that, I'm sure they still have to wear masks. No, because they still would have to speak through that little mesh thing that they have. And those suits are hot as hell. Like, have you ever had to put on a suit? Like, I had to put on a suit for my kid's birthday or for Halloween. Those kids, those suits are hot.
Starting point is 00:34:41 But I'm sure they would still have to wear masks. All right. Now, the secretary of education uh betsy devos well she talks about corona and if uh sending your children back to school is dangerous there's nothing in the data that suggests that kids being in school is in any way dangerous we know that children contract and have the virus at far lower incidence than any other part of the population. And we know that other countries around the world have reopened their schools and have done so successfully and safely. And kids there
Starting point is 00:35:17 are going back to school every day. And so that has got to be the posture here. You know, basically she's saying, do you. Okay, you know how you got someone in the hood who's about to do something stupid, and you know they're about to do something stupid, but you can't talk them out of it because they stupid. So you just say, do you. Betsy trying to do you us, but we ain't stupid. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:38 We know this is not going to end well. Well, she talks more on this topic. Isn't cutting off funding exactly the wrong answer? Don't you want to spend more money to make schools safer? Look, American investment in education is a promise to students and their families. If schools aren't going to reopen and not fulfill that promise, they shouldn't get the funds. Then give it to the families to decide to go to a school that is going to meet that promise. Well, you can't do that.
Starting point is 00:36:07 What? Play that back again. What happened now? Isn't cutting off funding exactly the wrong answer? Don't you want to spend more money to make schools safer? Look, American investment in education is a promise to students and their families. If schools aren't going to reopen and not fulfill that promise, they shouldn't get the funds. Then give it to the families to decide to go to a school that is going to meet that promise. Well, you can't do that.
Starting point is 00:36:35 What that is. What that is. Why she talk like me? How does the Secretary of Education talk like me? What that is. What that is. Only in America does the Secretary of Education like education. That's why America is really the greatest country on earth because you can really be whatever it is you want to be doesn't mean you should be it but boy if you want to you can't all right well that is whatever it is that is your front page news all right now let's get down to it. Let's talk entanglement. 800-585-1051. So Jada Pinkett Smith, your mom, and Will Smith. Not mom. Aunt.
Starting point is 00:37:12 I'm a Pinkett. My last name is Pinkett. My last name is Pinkett Smith. Winfrey knows Carter, but the Pinkett is looking shaky this morning. You know, I'm back to the future when things start to fade in a picture. Yep, yep, yep, yep. When somebody goes back in the past and corrects things, that Pinkett's starting to fade a little bit. Now, they had a conversation on her show the red table talk and she talked
Starting point is 00:37:28 about a lot do we have a clip of some of the things that she said we actually became really really good friends and it all started with him just needing some help me wanting to help his health his mental state i was in a lot of pain and I was very broken. Now, in the process of that relationship, I definitely realized that you can't find happiness outside of yourself. What do you feel like you were looking for? I just wanted to feel good.
Starting point is 00:38:00 It had been so long- So did August! Since I felt good. Now let's open up these phone lines let's have a conversation right charlamagne and i were talking about this entanglement thing now we've known august a long time when he first came out and we all know that when he first came out he was a broken young man right august he's still a broken young man he had a lot of he had a lot of family problems he lost family members he has been displaced
Starting point is 00:38:28 he has a young man he's mentally not healthy we discussed that August discussed that all the time he's somebody that I call up on and I don't have too many people that I check up on in the industry not check up on and hey how you doing how's the family but like when I check up on in the industry. Not check up on and, hey, how you doing?
Starting point is 00:38:45 How's the family? But, like, when I check up on August, it's like, yo, bro, you good? Is everything all right? You need anything? You need to talk? Like, we have those type of conversations just to make sure the young man is good. Right? So when he came to Jada Pinkett Smith, he was broken.
Starting point is 00:38:58 She said he needed healing. He was hurt. Right? Did she take advantage of him? Her being 44 and him being 22 at the time? Listen, here's the thing. I didn't like none of that conversation that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith had. Okay, I thought it was red toxic talk.
Starting point is 00:39:15 All right, as a person who goes to therapy, who has a sacred purpose coach, who every day of my life is doing the work to heal, to me, that's not what healing looks like. That's not what healing looks like at all because you can't continue to hide things while claiming to be transparent. And everything you're saying about August is absolutely right. The fact that August came to her broken, sick, needed healing, mentally not healthy,
Starting point is 00:39:34 emotionally vulnerable. So Jada decided to sleep with him. Jada said, I just wanted to feel good. I? That's selfish as hell. You wasn't really trying to heal that man because if you were, that wasn't the way you do it. You're not Marvin Gaye. Sexual healing isn't what August needed in that moment.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Okay, if the roles were reversed and that was Will Smith and let's just say another young person that we know deals with mental health issues, Summer Walker, people would be raising hell. What Jada did was predatory and selfish, and you don't get to a place of real healing if you're not being authentic and holding yourself accountable. All right. Let's just try initial thoughts on it, but we can expound when we come back, goddammit. Yeah, let's open up the phone lines.
Starting point is 00:40:14 What did you think? The red table talk is usually, what, 45 minutes over an hour conversation? 12 minutes of red toxic talk. That was 12 minutes. What are your thoughts? And also, when you're giving us your thoughts, I would love to know how you think Will Smith can get her back because Will Smith said repeatedly to her in that conversation, I'm going to get you back.
Starting point is 00:40:34 He said that quite a few times. Revenge isn't healthy either. Okay, being vindictive isn't healthy. But if you would like to share some ways that Will Smith could get her back, I would like to hear. All right, well, let's open up the phone lines. Let's have this conversation. What did you think about that conversation?
Starting point is 00:40:48 You know the conversation. You've been seeing the memes all weekend. Entanglement this, entanglement that. Let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone.
Starting point is 00:40:59 Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-10 opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, all right? She has a show called Red Table Talk,
Starting point is 00:41:35 and she brought herself on Red Table Talk to talk about the allegations of August Alsina, of him saying that they had a relationship. She confirmed this allegation at first by saying it was an entanglement. And I think Will cleared it up and he said, entanglement, don't you mean relationship? And she basically confessed of having relations with August.
Starting point is 00:41:54 You and I decided we were going to take our space and what happened. Yeah, and then I got into an entanglement with August. That's what I said. An entanglement? Yes. Yes. Yes. A relationship. Yes, it was a relationship.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Absolutely. So we're opening up the phone lines and asking, what do you think? Well, you know, my last name is Pinkett Smith Winfrey Knowles Carter. So, you know, you can chastise your family and tell them the truth. And Jada Pinkett Smith was dead ass wrong. August Alcina, that young man came to her broken, in need of healing. And her response is, I wanted to feel good.
Starting point is 00:42:31 I hadn't felt good in a long time. So you slept with him. Never mind how that young man is feeling. You know, you just got to get yours. That is the epitome of toxic behavior. That is a woman leading with the toxic masculine and not the divine feminine. That's not how you or August get to a place of healing.
Starting point is 00:42:46 And Jada be up there at that red table giving advice to people when the reality is she clearly hasn't done the work on herself that she needs to. And what I hated about that conversation, you know, the most, there's a lot of things I disliked about it. But what I hated the most was the ending when they hit us with that corny ass. Play that, we ride together, die, play that. 25 years and counting. We ride together. We die together. Bad marriage for life.
Starting point is 00:43:11 We ride together, die together, bad marriage for life. What was that? What kind of message was that sending? Just stick together for the sake of being together. Don't try to make your marriage healthy. Don't try to get to a place of wholeness in your marriage. Like, Envy, you married. I'm married.
Starting point is 00:43:28 We know marriages aren't perfect. I've been with my wife since 1998, so we've had all types of ups and downs in our relationship. I've been Jada. She's been Will, and vice versa, so I understand all of that, but that doesn't mean you stick around if something is that bad, like bad marriage for life. Like, hell no. What kind of message is that sending to the people out there who don't know no better? Just stick around and let your significant other do whatever? Whenever? Whoever? I didn't think that was, I didn't like that.
Starting point is 00:43:54 I guess they were trying to be funny, you know, to play up the bad boy for life. But I didn't like that. And like you said, I've been with my wife 25 years. We've been married 19. And yes, there's ups, there's downs, there's left, there's right. But at the end of the day, you have to have respect. and it has to be an open conversation when you can have a conversation. You can converse about things that's going good or bad and be open about it. I just feel like that conversation wasn't open. I feel like they are trying to portray a look and they weren't open.
Starting point is 00:44:21 If you're going to be open, be open. Let's really have a conversation. Now, I don't think Jada is a predator. I don't think she was the type to say, you know what, I'm just going to do it for me. I do think that she probably tried to help August, and with trying to help August, they fell for each other. I don't like when she said, oh, I want it to feel good.
Starting point is 00:44:39 I just, because that young man was hurt. That young man was distraught. That young man was at the lowest place in his life at that time time and possibly still can be it seemed like he's doing way better but he was at the lowest point of his life so at that time it was like he just wanted love and and i know august i've had conversations with august you had conversations with august that man just needed help and wanted to feel love and he got that from her and and i think she took advantage of it yes and what Jada displayed, that's not what healing looks like because you can't continue to hide things while claiming
Starting point is 00:45:11 to be transparent. You know what I'm saying? Like you got to be all the way honest. Don't give us anything at all. And, you know, Queen Jada, like I said, she's been up there giving advice when the reality is she clearly, truly hasn't done the work on herself. This is why I consider myself a mental health advocate and not a mental health expert. As an advocate, I can only point people in the direction of where to get the help they need. I really can't offer any help other than that. And I think sometimes when I watch Red Table Talk, I see Jada acting like a guru, acting like an expert, a person who has it all together when clearly she doesn't. And that's fine.
Starting point is 00:45:44 But just say you're going through your process, point people in the right direction of the experts, and don't front like you're healed when you're really broken. Really, really, really clearly broken. Absolutely. And I think also when it comes to it too, you know, we talk about our relationship, like me and my wife have a podcast, and we try to be open and honest regardless.
Starting point is 00:46:05 We don't try to hide open and honest regardless. No, we don't try to hide anything because you know, it's like one of those things we've been together so long and there's things that work and there's things that don't work. There's things that we need to have a conversation and there's little things that bother her and there's big things that bother her and vice versa. And we have to go through those, but I can't give you advice based on your relationship.
Starting point is 00:46:20 I can give you advice based on what me and my wife go through and what works for us. Very true. Let's go to the phone lines. Very true. And as I said, I'm not like that, you know,
Starting point is 00:46:29 that's Jada and Will, that's their situation. I just think that so many people look up to them and they influence so many people. When you say
Starting point is 00:46:36 we ride together, we die together, bad marriage for life, that's just sending a terrible, terrible, toxic ass, toxic ass message.
Starting point is 00:46:43 Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Moni. Hey, Moni. What did you think about that 12-minute, I guess, conversation? I found out that it was a whole bunch of bulls**t, if you ask me. Yes, ma'am. A whole bunch of bulls**t. Jada knew what she was doing.
Starting point is 00:47:00 And the only reason why she is even commenting on it is because she got caught. So she's just trying to protect her image while Will's looking like he's suffering over there, looking like a lost puppy. Knowing damn sure well he knew what was going on with their swinging ass. Okay? Jada ain't s***. She over there want to be all pedophilic with
Starting point is 00:47:17 this young boy. Took advantage of him. I don't know what the hell they was doing. But you know what? She got caught. She got caught. Now let's not say pedophilic. Jada was 43 at the time. August was like 23. I don't even know pedophilic is a word, but that's not pedophilic. She's not a pedophile.
Starting point is 00:47:36 Stop it. I'm not going to do all that. I do think that Will Smith wished that he had that little zapper from the Men in Black so he could just zap himself and forget all of this ever happened. Absolutely. Absolutely. I definitely got that feeling. Well, 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:47:51 We'll take your calls when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's go to the phone lines. We're talking Will Smith and Jada Pinkett.
Starting point is 00:48:04 Did you see the 12-minute interview? What did you think? What were your thoughts? Hello, who's this? the phone lines. We're talking Will Smith and Jada Pinkett. Did you see the 12-minute interview? What did you think? What were your thoughts? Hello, who's this? Red toxic talk. Red toxic talk. Good morning. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Who's this? How y'all doing this morning? This is Sterling. Good morning, Sterling. Hey, Sterling. Calling from Columbia, South Carolina. 803, what's happening? That's right.
Starting point is 00:48:24 In the house. I think the whole situation is messy. I, first of all, do not understand after all this time why August even came out with it, and I don't even understand why Jada and Will even felt like they had to address it. I don't think anything was wrong in the situation if Jada and Will were claiming separated,
Starting point is 00:48:45 but I don't feel like August is a victim in all this, like everybody is portraying him to be. Oh, I definitely think he was a victim. Definitely think he was a victim. If you go back and listen to the young man speak during interviews, you can see that he was lost. You can see that he was hurt. You can see that he was distraught. You can see that he was looking for love. He was broken.
Starting point is 00:49:02 And you know, and I know if you find a broken person, it's easy to take advantage of a broken person. And I think she did. I fell in love with a married woman. You knew she was still married. Why did she fall in love with a married woman? I feel like if August was a woman, they would have been calling her all kind of homewreckers
Starting point is 00:49:19 and whores and all kind of stuff like that. But because it was August and he was going through something, he's a victim. Yeah, victim is a strong word. Victim is a strong word. I mean, at the end of the day, you know, August Smith still got to have sex with the great Jada Pinkett Smith
Starting point is 00:49:34 and they had consensual sex because they are two adults. One adult is just older. You know what I mean? I just think that, you know, he came to her broken. He came to her needed healing. He came to her not in the best mental state.
Starting point is 00:49:46 So that wasn't an opportunity for her to give him sexual healing. Okay, word to Marvin Gaye. But he's not a victim. He should have seen psychiatry, not sex. We also don't know the details of what Jada said. Yeah, we don't know the ins and outs. Yeah, if Jada was leading them on saying, look, we're going to be together. I'm leaving Will, yada, yada, yada.
Starting point is 00:50:05 That's one thing. But if he knew what the arrangement was and like, yo, we're not together right now. And August had it in his head, well, I'm about to be your next husband. Then that's on. That's different. Well, thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this? This is Reddy Redd from Trent.
Starting point is 00:50:21 What's up, bro? We're talking this Red Table Talk conversation. What were your thoughts? First off, I want to say what's up to Charlemagne, the God, the God body. I also want to give a big shout out to Will Smith for being a stand-up G. He is. Like, when your piece talking about how unhappy she is, he, you know, got off the emotion and the rationale. Okay, you want to be happy, go ahead and be happy.
Starting point is 00:50:46 But as a woman who always, you know, they always tend to be in their emotions, she the one blew up the whole spot off her emotions. So now, you know, as a G, he's still dealing with it because that's his piece. You know what I mean? And I think, you know, if she was going to dip out, she should have dipped out with a real G instead of some guy that looked like he was feminine, real feminine looking. So, you know, I think she just got caught up in her emotions. What?
Starting point is 00:51:12 And Will Smith, you know, he's still standing next to his wife. So, you know, I'd give him ups for that. You know what I mean? Do you think Will Smith's ego is bruised, the fact that it was August 17th? Nah, man. It can't be. He's doing this thing for too long, man. He's in the house of Hollywood,
Starting point is 00:51:28 this rap gang. I mean, I don't think, you know, he gave it his jit-pat. Like, if you unhappy, go be happy. You know what I mean? Yeah, but we don't... Could Will understand Chris Brown
Starting point is 00:51:39 a little bit more? What do you mean? At least trace songs. What do you mean? I'm just saying. I'm talking about status level. If I'm Will Smith, aren't you a little upset that Jada slept with August as opposed to somebody a little bit closer to my level,
Starting point is 00:51:55 even though there's really not too many people on Will Smith's level? I'm just saying. That would have to damage my ego just a little bit. That should be a telltale lesson to us all, though. It don't matter how much money you got. It don't matter how much status you got. Don't matter how much status you got. Don't matter who you are. If your woman feel like she lacking something,
Starting point is 00:52:09 she don't care who give it to her, bro. Goodness gracious. That's why it's always been that stereotype of the pool guy. Imagine that. You ain't even got no goddamn pool. Or the trainer. The person that deliver the papers. I ain't gonna front, man.
Starting point is 00:52:25 My wife ain't having no trainer, man. I've seen, I've heard too many stories about the trainer not, if you train, we train. We train together. You better buy one of them little 10 speeds you got, one of them little huffies. Get her a little BMX. In case y'all
Starting point is 00:52:40 start riding together. Ride together, die together. Bad bicyclists for life. Bad bicyclists for life. Okay, that's what you better do. All right, if you know what I know. What's the moral of the story, man? The moral of the story is that was just red toxic talk.
Starting point is 00:52:54 I'm going to be honest with y'all. That's not what healing looks like, man. I go to therapy once a week. I've been doing teletherapy during the quarantine, and I used to go to regular therapy before that. I got a sacred purpose coat. Shout out to Yachty. Every day of my life, I'm doing the work to heal. And to me, just me personally,
Starting point is 00:53:15 everybody healing process is different. That's not what healing looks like. Okay. That you can't continue to hide things while claiming to be transparent. And I just think that whole, we ride together, we die together, bad marriage for life, that just sends off the wrong message to people who are very impressionable and the people that look up to the Smiths. So I really do hope that they come back to the red table to have a conversation about that. And if they say they were joking, they were being sarcastic, cool, but they still have to remember in that moment, even though it was a joke, they still influenced a lot of people with that
Starting point is 00:53:43 because that just sends off the wrong message, man. Bad marriage for life. Like, just stick together for the sake of being together. Don't try to make your marriage healthy. Don't try to get to a place of wholeness in your marriage. Like, that's toxic. They got to clear that up. That didn't sound right.
Starting point is 00:53:56 And like you said, there's a lot of people that think that that's the right thing to do. Or I'm just going to stick in this marriage for the kids. Or I'm going to stick in this marriage because I love this individual. But if it's not right, it's not right. It needs to be made right or you need to be happy. Yes. And my moral, I guess, real quick is that, you know, you can't be up there giving advice when the reality is you haven't done the
Starting point is 00:54:17 work on yourself. You know what I'm saying? You can be an advocate, but you can't be an expert. And when you're an advocate, you point people in the direction of where they get help. You know what I'm saying? But you really can't offer any expert. And when you're an advocate, you point people in the direction of where they get help. You know what I'm saying? But you really can't offer any help, you know, if you haven't really done the work on yourself. You know, sometimes it's okay to just say, look, I'm going through my process.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Point people in the direction of the experts. And don't front like you healed when you're really broken. All right, we got rumors on the way. We got to talk money bag yo. So we'll get into it next. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:54:53 It's time. She's spilling the tea this is the rumor report with angela yee on the breakfast club now let me start off by saying i honestly don't care about this but our producer said this is a story that we should talk about uh angela is out so so i have to talk about it man you're a grown ass man Your producer makes your decisions for you? Well, this is the rumors. These are things that people want to hear about. Okay, let's hear it. What is it? I saw Moneybagg Yo's baby mother is upset because
Starting point is 00:55:16 Moneybagg Yo bought his new girlfriend a Lamborghini. Tell me more, girl. Spill the tea, sis. Let's hear it. And damn right, I feel some type of way about that mother f***ing Lambo, ho. Bitch, you ought to be f***ing with this ho now, must, yo. I ain't scared to say I feel some type of way about that s***, yo. I do. I ain't mad about no f***ing ho, you stupid f***ers. You stupid ho. I got options.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Okay, now, it was his girlfriend's 25th birthday, and he bought her a new Lamborghini. I don't see anything wrong with it. This is his new girl. He's not with the baby moms anymore. This is somebody new that I'm dating. As long as I'm taking care of my child, what's the problem? Well, let me tell you how I feel, sis. Tell me, sis. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:55:56 I feel that if he is paying her child support, then she should be happy with whatever that child support is. You know what I'm saying? And if that child support doesn't allow you to go buy you a Lamborghini truck, then don't go chasing Lamborghini trucks. Stick to the Honda CRVs and the Toyota RAV4s that you're used to. Okay? What's wrong with that?
Starting point is 00:56:17 Get you a nice little Kia. What's some things called? Telluride? Sorrento? You seen the little Kia Telluride? No, it ain't a Sorrento. It's an SUV. It's a little. Oh, no. The Telluride's expensive.o? You seen the little Kia Telluride? No, it ain't a Sorrento. It's an SUV. It's a little.
Starting point is 00:56:25 Oh, no. The Tellurides are expensive. Those are expensive. Them little Kia Tellurides that look like the Rolls Royce. Like $30,000. No more than that. I think they're like $40,000. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Man, probably if you get it loaded without the cloth seats. If you get leather seats, it might be $40,000. But the regular Kia Telluride is about $30,000. Let me look that up. Yeah, 2020 Kia Telluride, about $31,000. Okay. All right, all right. Let me look that up. Yeah, 2020 Kia tell you ride about 31,000. Okay. All right, all right. Not fully loaded, though.
Starting point is 00:56:50 But all I'm simply saying is the Lambo trucks ain't for you. Lambo trucks is for the woman that I'm with. Okay? You tell him, sis. Would Jada buy August a Lambo truck? No. Shut up, man. I'm a nice little Honda pilot.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Shut up. August a Lambo. For real. August will buy his own Lambo truck? No. Shut up, man. I'm a nice little Honda pilot. Shut up. August and Lambo's for real. August will buy his own Lambo truck. Now, we got to send a rest in peace to Lil Marlo, a rapper out in Atlanta. He was signed to Quality Control. Now, you know Quality Control has City Girls, Lil Baby, the Migos, Yachty. They also manage Cardi B. He was shot over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:57:27 He was in his car driving. They said a car pulled up on the side of him and let off a couple of shots. His car crashed. And when they went to the scene, he was pronounced dead at the scene. That's horrible. Rest in peace to Marlo. Didn't know the brother personally. But, you know, I had a dream one time that somebody pulled up on the side of me and shot so that's always something that uh causes me ptsd you know i'm saying even
Starting point is 00:57:50 being at or not ptsd anxiety you know i'm saying even being at lights you know i'm saying when you had a stoplight uh you know if you just driving and somebody just pulls up on the side of you real fast and you know sometimes people see see you and they know they can see you in your car whatever and they they know it's you i'm sure you get this envy and they know they can see you in your car or whatever and they know it's you. I'm sure you get this envy and they blowing the horn away. You know what I mean? All of that can make you paranoid. It definitely makes me paranoid.
Starting point is 00:58:13 I'm sorry that that brother went out that way, man. Yeah, and also John Travolta's wife of nearly 29 years was diagnosed with cancer about two years ago. She has passed away at the age of 57 from breast cancer. She died on Sunday. Damn, sorry to hear that.
Starting point is 00:58:32 Jesus Christ, bro. Yeah, and lastly. I don't like, I mean, I hate death, but I hate any scenario that I've potentially thought about for my life. You know what I'm saying? You went from Marlowe to drive by. As a husband, you do think about that. What if you was the loser, significant other,
Starting point is 00:58:49 and when you hear stories like that, you feel sorry for them. You know what I'm saying? Because, you know, my wife is the CEO of the household, total founder of the household. I wouldn't know what to do if I lost mine. You and me both. All right, and lastly, Wendy Williams, she gives a new update on when her
Starting point is 00:59:06 show will be returning. You know, it's a hard time for all of us, but we're all in this together, like they say. Our show is part of Phase 4. Right now, here in New York City, we're in Phase 3. I can't wait to see you again.
Starting point is 00:59:21 When the double doors open, because I'm not doing this. This right here. See you soon at the studio. I feel your pain, Wendy Williams. I want to be back in Breakfast Club Studio so bad. I miss what Breakfast Club Studio feels like. I miss what it smells like.
Starting point is 00:59:40 I want to be back in the studio. Okay, Eddie's in the studio, Drom's in the studio, Taylor's in the studio. Okay. Eddie's in the studio. Drom's in the studio. Taylor's in the studio. Dan's in the studio. I'm ready to be back. Yeah. I don't think that's going to happen though.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Why not? We're going to fade. We're about to. If they can open up the TV studios, then they can open up the, the, the, the radio state studios.
Starting point is 01:00:01 And I'm telling you right now for my show, my, my upcoming show on comedy central, I'm definitely going to be in this. I'm definitely you right now, for my show, my upcoming show on Comedy Central, I'm definitely going to be in the studios. See, but the problem is, is iHeart is a huge station. So many people come in and out of that building. So many people come in and out of our studio. So many people move around.
Starting point is 01:00:17 Like, people go out. So you don't necessarily know people doing the right thing. You know? Make them wear condoms. You want to be in and out and you want to have a bunch of people in and out just make sure you're protecting yourself yeah i don't know if that's enough but anyway that is your rumor report now charlamagne who you giving that donkey to oh we need betsy devoe to come to the front of the congregation we'd
Starting point is 01:00:39 like to have a word with her all right we'll get into that next keep it locked it's the breakfast club good morning it's gonna be a, because right now you want some real donkey stuff. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Delia? Absolutely. I have become Donkey of the Day. It's The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Starting point is 01:01:00 You're a donkey. Donkey of the Day for Monday,uly 13th goes to education secretary betsy devel if you are a parent like me then we all will be faced with a tough decision this coming fall and that's whether or not to send our kids back to school in the midst of this coronavirus pandemic i have three beautiful daughters uh one is on her way to seventh grade the other is going to kindergarten by the way my oldest daughter got her sixth grade report card yesterday. First honors, okay? All her grades are an A or better
Starting point is 01:01:30 with no grade below an A minus. Dropping the clues bombs from my oldest seed out here. Okay, way more book smart than her dad ever was. She gets all that from her mama. And I told her yesterday, great job because, you know,
Starting point is 01:01:43 kids had to do the last few months, you know, from home. She had to do the last few months of sixth grade from home. And that Zoom school life was an adjustment. I don't know if parents, you know, saw their kids perform better or worse, but I know for those young kids not going to school, getting out of your parents' house for a while during the day, interacting with your peers, you know, that social interaction, all of that helps with their development as young adults. You know, even being able to do your schoolwork from home, I would
Starting point is 01:02:10 think takes a different level of discipline to do, you know, getting up, getting online, you know, my daughter having to do her reports, her projects, making sure all those things are done on time. No one is there to really push you the way a teacher would. You really have to do a lot of heavy lifting on your own. That's got to be emotionally and mentally tough for these kids. But my daughter did that, okay, made first honors, and I'm proud of her. But like many parents, I want her back in school, you know, more so for her than me. But I'm not putting her back in school if it's not secure or safe. And parents, I hate to tell you, it doesn't look
Starting point is 01:02:45 like it will be. Now, America, you do realize we are running on autopilot at this point in time. Okay, Canada, I know you're listening to us on Flow 93.5. I want you to know that America has zero leadership. If Thanos came to earth right now and said, take me to your leader, I would take him to Tamika Mallory. Drop on a clues bond for Tamika Mallory. I'm dead serious. I wouldn't take him anywhere near the White House because nobody there knows what the hell they are doing. Okay. Betsy DeVoe was doing media rounds this weekend and she was on CNN and listen to what she had to say when Dana Bush asked her yes and no about yes and no. Can you assure students, teachers and parents that they can't get coronavirus if they go back to school? Listen to this. The U.S. hit a record number of new cases on Friday. The number
Starting point is 01:03:28 of new cases per day is higher now in 45 of the 50 states than when schools shut down in March. Hospitalizations are climbing in several states and some ICUs are at or near capacity. So yes or no, can you assure students, teachers, parents that they will not get coronavirus because they're going back to school? Well the key is that kids have to get back to school and we know there are going to be hot spots and those need to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis but the rule should be that kids go back to school this fall. They've been missing months of learning.
Starting point is 01:04:10 Many of them are going to be so far behind, difficult to catch up. And we know that this is a matter of their health in a multitude of factors. We know that their emotional well-being, their mental well-being, and particularly for kids from low-income and vulnerable populations, this is devastating to be out of school and not learning for months on end. Madam Secretary I don't think anybody disagrees with that but the question is can it happen safely? Well we know that children get the virus at a far lower rate than any other part of the population and again there's there is no nothing in the data that would suggest that kids being back in school is dangerous to them.
Starting point is 01:04:48 You know why Betsy DeVoe can't answer that simple yes or no question from Dana Bash? Because she knows the answer is no. She can't ensure nobody's safety, but she has her marching orders from the celebrity in chief. And so she has to stick to the script. Act like everything is, hey, okay, everything's all right. We'll be fine. Just a little flare up. Betsy, we all know kids need to be back in school. That's obvious. But the question is, can they go
Starting point is 01:05:10 back to school without getting sick? Can they go to school without contracting coronavirus and bringing it home to their older parents, to older people in the neighborhood? Can they go to school without giving it to teachers, older people who have underlying health conditions? This whole anything goes mentality that the Trump administration has is exactly why America is in the position that it's in now. Does Betsy DeVoe know that a new study from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that nearly a quarter of teachers have underlying health conditions? Are they are at an age that places them in the highest risk category for serious coronavirus complications? Betsy DeVoe, how are you still calling what's happening in America right now little flare-ups? The USA just recorded its highest one-day spike in new coronavirus cases two days ago.
Starting point is 01:05:56 The highest one-day spike in new coronavirus cases since the pandemic started. 66,000 people in one day. What about that sounds like a little flare-up? Okay? Herpes is a little flare-up. All right? Not 66,000 cases of coronavirus in one day. I just left my home state of South Carolina.
Starting point is 01:06:15 Mount Skona 843 was happening. South Carolina has the third highest coronavirus rate in the world. A lot of Trump supporters down there buying into the administration's BS, and they not wearing masks or shoes in South Carolina. Okay, barefoot, bare mouth, just out there bare. And guess what? That's y'all fault, because the Trump administration thinks ignoring a problem is going to make it go away, but it's not. Side note, I did two of my own coronavirus testing this weekend in North Charleston, South Carolina, with DHEC and MUSC Health, tested over a couple thousand people
Starting point is 01:06:46 because if the government isn't going to do what they need to do, I guess us private citizens with resources have to. Now, Betsy DeVoe and the Trump administration, they're not connected to reality. Betsy DeVoe said a whole lot of nothing on CNN, but there's one particular part of this conversation that lets me know that she's not even in the same galaxy
Starting point is 01:07:04 as the rest of us. Okay. She might've came from where Thanos came from. Listen to this. We know that their emotional wellbeing, their mental wellbeing, and particularly for kids from low income and vulnerable populations, this is devastating to be out of school and not learning for months on end. The impact of being out of the classroom would be particularly devastating to low-income children. First of all, duh. Second of all, Betsy DeVoe, do you see the impact coronavirus is having on low-income communities where those children live? That's why they're low-income children because they live in those low-income
Starting point is 01:07:45 communities, you know, those same communities that y'all ignore on the regular. Betsy, there's this thing called a study. And back in May, those studies found that low-income communities have been hit the hardest by COVID-19, not just the health impact, but the financial impact. Lack of income because of the economic crisis is disproportionately affecting the very same neighborhoods that are seeing the brunt of the health crisis. The poor neighborhoods filled with black and brown folks. You know why? Because the systemic racism that caused the hood to have all these underlying health conditions already will always make us the most vulnerable for anything. So don't attempt to act like you care about those low-income children now
Starting point is 01:08:27 when it fits your agenda or fits the narrative you're trying to push because you haven't cared about those low-income children and those low-income communities in the hood for years. Only in America does the Secretary of Education lack education. Please let Chelsea handle my white work. I mean, light work. Hee-haw, hee-haw. That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise.
Starting point is 01:08:51 All right. Oh, the mayonnaise. The mayonnaise was heavy, heavy in that one. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. What do you think you're doing with your kids as far as school is concerned?
Starting point is 01:09:06 All right. Now, I know in Atlanta and some of the places in the South, you guys about to open up in the next two weeks. I think school starts in, what, two weeks for you guys or three weeks for you guys? In Georgia, it's August. My sister just told me this. In Atlanta, it's August.
Starting point is 01:09:21 I want to say 15th. 7th or 15th. I think it was the 7th, but they pushed it back, but don't quote me on that. Uh-huh. And of course, on here in the East Coast, New York, New Jersey, they're supposed to start in the first or second week in September. So what are you doing? Are you bringing your kids back to school?
Starting point is 01:09:35 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it now. I'm going to tell you how I feel right now, right? Of course, I got one that's going to college. I got one that's a sophomore in high school. I got one that's going to college. I got one that's a sophomore in high school. I got one that's going to second grade. I got one that's going to the first grade and one that's going to kindergarten. Now, my concerns are the one that's going to kindergarten and the one that's going to the first grade because they are the youngest, but they are the ones that are really
Starting point is 01:09:59 learning how to read. And all that is very difficult. Like that is difficult and I can't imagine them being sitting on that computer for six, seven hours talking to a teacher. I can't see that. They have to be in the classroom. We'll talk about it
Starting point is 01:10:16 when we come back. We'll talk about it when we come back. So I don't think I'm letting my kids go back to school, but we'll talk about it. 800-585-1051 is the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:10:40 Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about your kids going back to school this fall. So, 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:11:03 That's what we're asking. Charlamagne, what are you doing with the kids this fall? Well, it's only July. Things could change, but the way it's looking now, absolutely not. Because I don't see things improving in regards to this coronavirus situation at all. I think that they're going to rush to get some type of vaccination on the market before November 3rd, before the election, you know, and I'm not letting them inject my kid with no Windex or whatever concoction they come up with to try to make us feel like it's safer for them to, you know, return to school. So my answer in a nutshell,
Starting point is 01:11:38 no, absolutely not. My oldest is going to seventh grade. My others, my second, my middle child is going to kindergarten. No, they won't be in school. Yeah, I'm totally with you. I don't think my kids will be in school either. Either we'll do home training, home teaching, home schooling, or, you know, I don't know. Definitely not the youngest ones. The oldest one who's going to college, I still don't even know if I feel comfortable going to NYU.
Starting point is 01:12:04 I don't think so. You know, it's just I'd rather be safe than sorry, and that's the whole thing. But let's going to college, I still don't even know if I feel comfortable going to NYU. I don't think so. You know, it's just I'd rather be safe than sorry. And that's the whole thing. But let's go to the phone lines. 800-585- You know what else is crazy? I'm not even really, the kids, you know, from all and for everything that we've seen about coronavirus, it doesn't seem to be impacting young, young kids that much.
Starting point is 01:12:22 But I'm more concerned about the teachers you know i mean this statistic that i read earlier uh that said um more than a quarter hold on let me see if i can find it real quick more than a quarter of hold on what the hell oh yeah more than a quarter of teachers of underlying health conditions are there and they are at an age that places them places them in the highest risk category for serious coronavirus complications. You can't do that to the teachers, and you don't want to do that, you know, to parents or older folks in the neighborhood, you know, bringing them back, whatever they get in school, back to the communities. No.
Starting point is 01:12:54 And that's the whole thing. I don't want my kids to bring it back to our family, to my parents, to my wife's parents. No, so I think safety, I'd rather be safe than sorry. But let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Good morning, it's Monet from Columbia, South Carolina Hey Monet 803, what's happening? We have you on the check-in this morning
Starting point is 01:13:13 Shout out to Hot 103.9 We're talking school this morning What are you thinking about for your kids? So the thing is I'm on both sides I'm a new mom, my son is 6 months, and I'm also in the field of education. So I know the importance of school reopening. But, you know, my concern is how are we going to maintain students' social distancing?
Starting point is 01:13:36 How are we going to maintain students wiping down their areas? And, you know, even if you think about kids in high school, you know, kids are going to be forgetful. I'm working with rising ninth graders in the fall. And, you know, I mean, everybody's not going to remember. So I don't know what, you know, Betty, Betsy, whatever her name is. I just don't understand what this country is doing. You know, and the thing about it is South Carolina will listen to these folks. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:14:03 I'm originally from Brooklyn, New York, and not everybody is, you know, outside with no mask and no shoes, but I'm just concerned, so I don't know. I don't know. Now, let me tell you something. I was in South Carolina the past two weeks. You know, that's my home state as well. I know. I was on the Isle of Palms.
Starting point is 01:14:23 I was in my hometown in Monce Corner. I saw a lot of barefoot, bare-mouthed white people. Of course you did. You know, I'm sure you did. But, you know, everybody ate barefoot. But I don't know. I'm just concerned. I'm concerned about the testing.
Starting point is 01:14:38 Shout-out to you for what you did up there in Charleston in the 843. I'm a graduate of Craftsman, so I know a lot of folks up there appreciated that. So I don't know. I'm just concerned overall. And I think me personally, my anxiety and my mental health is, like, more important than, you know, going back to school at this point, especially being a new mom. So I'm just hoping that things get better.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Yeah. All right. Thank you, Mama. We'll take some more calls, 800-585-1051. Now, shout out to Louis V. Louis V is the program director in Atlanta. He just posted something that I understand completely. He said, if the meeting to reopen schools takes place via Zoom
Starting point is 01:15:21 for the safety of the participants, maybe we should be discussing reopening schools. I'm just saying. If we can't safely say when we reopen the schools, but we want the kids to go back to school, does that make sense? Yeah, if school was safe, what you would do is you would tell all the parents to come to the school, let's have a parent-teacher, parent-administration meeting, and you show the parents
Starting point is 01:15:43 how classes are going to be set up these are how the desk is going to be six feet apart you could wear the mask teacher wear the mask teacher stays away now i'm gonna be honest with you i don't know how i would feel about that i wouldn't be opposed to social distance classrooms if they weren't there for five six hours at a time if they went to school for an hour two hours at a time yes hour two hour bro you you said you have a kid you have a a young daughter going to what? Kindergarten or first grade? Kindergarten.
Starting point is 01:16:09 Kindergarten. Do you think your daughter is going to wear a mask? Whatever you go to when you're five. Yeah, kindergarten. Do you think your daughter is going to be wearing a mask a full day of school? Can you count on your daughter to wear that mask the whole day? I can say my middle child, she definitely wore the mask on the flight the whole time and didn't complain. Now, what about the youngest daughter?
Starting point is 01:16:28 Well, the youngest is only one. She's not going to school for three years. But the five-year-old, you think she went the full day in school with her friends and not being able to talk and all that? I don't know, man. I can't trust you. The flight of the soccer line is only an hour and 30 minutes. Yeah, the flight of the soccer line is only an hour and 30 minutes.
Starting point is 01:16:43 She wore it on the plane, wore it in the airport. That's why I said maybe fragmented time. If you go to school for an hour and 30 minutes. Yeah, the flight of cyclone is only an hour and 30 minutes. You're on the plane, you're in the airport. That's why I said maybe fragmented time. If you go to school for an hour, two hours a day, which would kind of be a waste of time, but maybe not because you still get to kind of socialize a little bit for the kids. I don't know, man. I don't know. All right, well, 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 01:17:00 Yeah, we'll take some more calls when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I know it now. I like it. I like it. I like it.
Starting point is 01:17:07 I like it. That kudos in here with that. Call me. And your opinions to The Breakfast Club topic. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Starting point is 01:17:23 We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about allowing your kids to go back to school this fall. What are you thinking about as far as your kids are concerned? Are you going to let them go back to school? Are you going to wait? Let's open up the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up?
Starting point is 01:17:38 It's Ryan from Boring, Indiana. Ryan, what's going on, brother? Boring, Indiana. Why you call Indiana boring? What's so boring about Indiana? It ain't nothing but cornfields here. You already know, Charlemagne. Indiana ain't nobody's place to visit.
Starting point is 01:17:50 You must not have a taste for white women. I ain't no comment. My goodness. Charlemagne is nuts, man. It's too early in the morning for that. Definitely nuts. But let's talk about kids in school. school what are you gonna do with your kids in school this this fall semester I personally want to see my kids go back to school like I got a high schooler that take all honor classes that's an honor student and I got a son that's about to start middle school and I feel like with this new generation they already don't learn as
Starting point is 01:18:25 much as we did when we were going through school such as like cursive they took out of school and a lot of other things so I feel like they are already behind the ball and I don't want to see them get any further and then I don't totally buy into everything they're trying to tell us about the COVID-19 anyway not saying that it's totally fake, but saying that the numbers that they putting up and all the explanations they give, it leads me to be a little, you know, not believable of what they trying to feed us. So I'm totally not buying into it,
Starting point is 01:18:56 and I want to see my kids do well. Okay. Okay, I understand. I'm not respecting your perspective. I believe it. I respectfully disagree with you. Yeah, I believe it. I don't with you. Yeah, I believe it. I don't want to play with them.
Starting point is 01:19:06 I respectfully disagree with you, but. Okay. All right, let's go to another caller. Hello, who's this? Melissa. Hey, Melissa, good morning. What are you doing with your kids this fall? Morning, Melissa.
Starting point is 01:19:14 Well, I don't have small children, but I did want people to know this. I have a family that I'm very close with, and this six-year-old gave the virus to his great-grandmother and his great-grandmother is actually in the hospital has been for 14 days on a vent. So when you think about these kids going to school a lot of grandparents are the ones who keep their kids after school because the parents have to go to work. Like here in Florida, we're wide open. Nothing is closed. So everybody has to go to work.
Starting point is 01:19:50 Damn. All right. All right. Well, thank you for calling, Mama. All right. Well, what's the moral of the story, brother? As for me and mine, we shall be staying our asses in the house. Okay.
Starting point is 01:20:00 Me too. All right. Now, when we come back, we got your rumor report. We got to talk about comedian Jack Thriller. Could he be in the middle of this whole beef? We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:20:12 The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. With Angela Yee.
Starting point is 01:20:24 It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Now, on Friday, we tell you about 50 Cent getting into it with Jersey artist NFL Doom again. If you missed it, this was the same kid that walked up to 50 Cent in a movie theater, asked 50 to hear a record. They got into an argument, almost got into a fight. Well, he's seen 50 again a couple days ago at a restaurant in New Jersey,
Starting point is 01:20:46 and it got nasty one more time. But now we're getting to the bottom of it. Allegedly, this young man gave Jack Thriller $5,000. Now, Jack Thriller is a comedian. What? Associated with the G-Unit comedians, and gave him $5,000 to squash the beef. Jack Thriller allegedly took the money and kept it moving.
Starting point is 01:21:08 So the kid thought the beef was over when he seen 50 approach 50 and it got nasty again. Let's hear it. 50 need to go ahead and G check Jack Thriller. Cause that right there took breath for me. And I'm thinking like the already talking to 50, like your bro, bro is good. You know what I'm saying? He ain't to 50 like yo bro bro is good you know saying
Starting point is 01:21:25 ain't got no problem with you Jack Thriller your clown how you take my bread and you say you gonna you gonna um talk to fifth da da da and we gonna work ain't no problem so when I saw 50 I'm thinking ain't no problem you never talk to the homie. So what you telling me is Jack Thriller took $5,000 from this young man. Jack Thriller is a host on This Is 50, so the young man probably thought there was a connection there. Correct. Jack Thriller never spoke to 50 Cent about this beef being squashed. Correct.
Starting point is 01:22:00 What does Jack Thriller say about all of this? Jack Thriller hasn't responded to us yet. Has anybody reached out to him? No, not yet. But doesn't that sound kind of crazy? You take somebody's $5,000, you think you squashed the beef. Now 50 don't know what's coming up, so when 50 see the kids, he still think he got beef with the kid.
Starting point is 01:22:17 The kid thinks it's all good. I gave Jack Thriller allegedly five grand. Jack Thriller said it's all good. And it could have been a nasty situation if this is all true. If this is all true. Nothing surprising me. No, not with me either. Nothing surprising me.
Starting point is 01:22:33 I would like to hear from Jack Thriller, though. Give him a chance to defend himself. You got to hear both sides. Yeah, that's right. We also got to say congratulations to Pop Smoke and definitely rest in peace. His album Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon, was number one on Billboard. The album was released on July 3rd and sold 251,000 units in the U.S. So congratulations to him.
Starting point is 01:22:56 Yeah, it's very hard to clap for that, though. You know what I'm saying? That's one of those very bittersweet moments. You know, you're glad that the brothers sold all those records. But clearly, you know, Pop Smoke, especially being that he's from New York, especially being that he was presenting a whole new energy to the game, Pop Smoke would have been superstar status maybe. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:23:14 Absolutely. I don't know. I'm always reminded of this Jadakiss line when Jadakiss says, you know dead rappers get better promotion. I just think it's sad that he's not here to reap the benefits of his hard work and his labor. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:29 Now, also, Juice WRLD, it seems like his album is out right now, and it looks like it's going to move between 400,000 and 440,000 units in its first week.
Starting point is 01:23:40 See what I'm saying, man? Once again, you know that rappers get better promotion. Like, why do we celebrate so people hard why do we celebrate people so hard when they're gone like i'm not juice world was doing great when he was alive pop smoke was well on his way to doing great but damn man why can't they get that energy when they when they're here yeah you're absolutely right. And lastly, former Cowboys linebacker Kyle Cuero.
Starting point is 01:24:07 Did I say his last name right? Cuero? No, it's Kyle Weirdo. That's his name, Kyle Weirdo. Well, he put some tweets on Instagram, on Twitter. He said, people are attracted to Jill Scott, question mark. And by no means is she ugly, but y'all really sexually aroused by her huh so it's an energy thing huh got it well he got all types of backlash about what he said the comments he
Starting point is 01:24:33 said so he came back and apologized first and foremost i'd like to apologize to miss jill scott the topic of your beauty should not have been shared over social media or public discourse there's truly no excuses or explanation to be made. My comments were distasteful and unbecoming of a black man to speak negatively of a black woman under any circumstance. You know, when I see things like that, I have one simple question. Why? Like, what was the point of that?
Starting point is 01:25:01 Like, what did he think that tweet was going to do for the ecosystem? Why did he think that tweet was necessary? If you want to have that discussion amongst your homies, have that discussion amongst your homies. But why did he feel like he needed to put that out into the atmosphere? Speaking of energy, when he said, oh, it must be Jill Scott's energy, why did you want to put that kind of energy out there? Like, what was the purpose of that?
Starting point is 01:25:25 Like, how was that constructive? You know what I'm saying? I believe in building and destroying. To build is to add on to your life positively step by step. To destroy is to tear down everything that's negative within your cypher. How was that building, brother? That's what I would ask Kyle Weirdo. Like, what was the point of that?
Starting point is 01:25:40 And now listen, I'm going to be honest with you. When I was younger and in the early days of Twitter, I've definitely fired off things about, you know, women's appearances. So I can't be too hard on the brother because I'm speaking from a 42-year-old man's perspective. You know what I'm saying? But even back then, I had to ask myself, why did I do that? You know what I'm saying? Like, why did I have to comment on that woman's looks?
Starting point is 01:26:05 Like, what was the point of that? So that's how I feel about watching Kyle do that. Like, why? What was the reason? Absolutely. I really wanted to sit back and think about that. Like, why? Why did you do that?
Starting point is 01:26:14 Because, number one, Jill Scott is beautiful. Drop one of the clues, Bob, for Jill Scott. Absolutely. I don't want to hear all that, oh, Jill Scott's pretty for a big girl. No, Jill Scott is beautiful, period. I don't know what y'all talking about. Absolutely. All right, well, that is your—
Starting point is 01:26:29 Me and my wife would have an entanglement with Jill Scott. Okay, that could easily be an entanglement. You know, my wife—Jill Scott is my wife's favorite artist of all time. Yes, oh, listen. Jill Scott is my wife's favorite artist of all time. Jill Scott and Erykah Badu. So your wife would leave you for Jill Scott and Erykah Badu in a minute. An entanglement.
Starting point is 01:26:48 It could be a moment. I could see that happening. He had to think about that for a second. He stopped and said, hmm, an entanglement. I could see that. I don't know. She really loves Jill Scott and she really loves Erykah Badu. But one thing I know for sure, she didn't cry when she met Erykah Badu.
Starting point is 01:27:00 When she met Jill Scott, she cried. Wow. That was last year at Tyler Perry's Shindig at his studio. So she really, Scott, she cried. That was last year. At Tyler Perry's shindig at his studio. So she really, really loves Jill Scott. I've been vibing to Jill Scott for a long time and secretly wondering, is this the
Starting point is 01:27:15 person that could take her from me? Just secretly wondering, would this long walk home, if she went on a long walk with Jill Scott, would she come back? Goodness gracious. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Revolt, we'll see you guys tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next.
Starting point is 01:27:33 Get your request in. It's the Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are the Breakfast Club. All right, now, I just want to say shout to everybody that's into bike riding. You know, I got into bike riding heavy and I did 30 miles over the weekend and I had a great time. I ran into a lot of people bike riding. When you bike ride, you see so many different people bike riding. And I didn't know so many people bike ride, especially so many minorities bike ride, which I thought was pretty dope. A lot of minorities stay in shape through bike riding. So I had a good time over the weekend bike riding
Starting point is 01:28:05 Charlamagne I'm going to get you a bike man I saw you and your little pack of man friends Just riding on your little banana seats And your little biker shorts Just bragging about how long y'all can ride Without it hurting I saw you What's wrong with you
Starting point is 01:28:21 Why you smiling like that man What's wrong with you, man? Because you such a tease. And then you'll post in your captions, you'll post stuff like, ignore my biker shorts, which really means look at my biker shorts. He'll stop it, man. Look at me. Look at these beige cakes.
Starting point is 01:28:39 Look at these yellow thighs. So, yo, look, so I was a bike rider, right, this weekend, right? And I had my biker shorts on, right? Now, the biker shorts are padded. They have gel on the butt to, you know, make sure you're good. So I'm riding, right? KY gel. And the dude that's riding behind me was like, yo, I can't ride behind you
Starting point is 01:28:55 because all I see is your little yellow ass, man. Put on some real shorts. Woo-hoo-hoo! Let's go. Death to toxic masculinity, baby. Embrace your divine feminine, goddammit. Okay, it has to be a balance. I love it.
Starting point is 01:29:11 All right, that man admitting that he's distracted by your ass. Take that as a compliment. Keep doing those squats, Envy. Whatever you're doing that's making your ass become a distraction, say thank you, God, and continue to do it. You know what? When we come back, we got the positive note, man, and continue to do it. You know what? When we come back, we got the positive note, man. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:29:28 Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. All right, it's time to get up out of here. Charlamagne, you got a positive note? Before we get to the positive note, if you're just joining us, Envy admitted that this weekend he was riding with one of his male friends and one of his male friends said,
Starting point is 01:29:45 I can't be behind you because all I see is your ass, right? Now, as a man, one of the things that can cause you to ejaculate before you want to is when you are behind your woman and that beautiful derriere is up in the air and it's just too much for us sometimes, you know what I'm saying? So salute to Envy's friend for keeping it together on that bike trail. And not just
Starting point is 01:30:08 not just skiing all over the highway. That could have been a real messy situation Envy. Okay? Now, the positive note is this. The positive note is I would rather surround myself with people who make a lot of mistakes and have no problem admitting them than to surround myself with people who think they make none.
