the God. The Breakfast Club, bitches! The voice of the culture. People watch The Breakfast Club for light news and really be tuned in. It's one of my favorite shows to do. Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real. They might not watch the news, but they're on Twitter. They're on Facebook. They're, you know, they're listening to The Breakfast Club.

Get your ass up. Good morning, USA. I mean, the God. Peace to the planet. It's Thursday. Yes, it's Thursday. Good morning. We are here. What's happening? What day of the week is it? Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

Fifth day of the week. Okay. Yes, fifth day of the week because Sunday counts as the first day. I don't do all that. All I know is tomorrow's Friday and that's when the weekend starts. Man. And it's Super Bowl weekend. Yes.

It's definitely Super Bowl weekend. I think that we have to embrace Thursday as a day of the weekend. And I'll tell you why. Why you mean? Because weekends be feeling like 30-minute lunch breaks. So it's like I think we have to start embracing now as the weekend. So that means tomorrow, if you got to go to work, don't give it your all. Don't give it your all tomorrow.

What? Don't give it your all. You listen to him, you're going to get fired. Coast on Fridays. You know what I mean? Really start today. But really when you go in tomorrow, treat it as if it's just like, you know, you're going to get fired. Coast on Fridays. You know what I mean? Really start today, but really when you go in tomorrow, treat it as if it's just like,

you know, you're going in to pick something up, but you ain't really got nothing to do. You better not. Yeah, that's the only way. That's the only way to truly enjoy your weekend. We're going to coast

to the unemployment line. You better not. Because we only get one full day if you think about it. You get a night, Friday night, right? Friday night, yeah. And usually you're too exhausted

from working, so you don't really do nothing on Friday. And then you got all day Saturday. And then Sunday morning, you might go to church, or you might sleep in, and you might do bedside Baptist like I do with Bishop T.D. Jakes, meaning I'm in the bed, but I'm watching on YouTube.

And then you're back at work on Monday. That's not right. Well, you wouldn't want to do that, though. You wouldn't say that to, like, the teachers who are in the schools with your kids. Absolutely would. You wouldn't want them to come to work and not do anything. That's a lie.

On Fridays, there was nothing like being in school when your teachers would come to come to work and not do anything. That's a lie. On Fridays, there was nothing like being in school when your teachers would come to school and not want to do anything. Throw a movie on. You know what I mean? Tell y'all,

have some creative time. Y'all talk amongst yourselves. It's Friday. Enjoy yourself. You would love that if I was a teacher, especially if I was a teacher. If you're in the airport,

you wouldn't want the people there to just take their time while the line is getting longer and longer and not care. Sure I would. Just go on through. Just go on through. It didn't beep at the security. I want the people there to just take their time while the line is getting longer and longer and not care. Sure I would. Just go on through.

It didn't beep at the security. Nothing beeped. Go on. Enjoy yourself. Yes. All right. Friday's a nice day to just relax, don't you think? I mean, every day is a nice day just to relax and put it out there like that.

Goodness gracious. But definitely Fridays. All right. Well, Reverend Al Sharpton Will be joining us this morning Okay He's got a new book out Yeah he's got a new book out It's called Untold Stories of the

Social Justice Movement In America Righteous Troublemakers That's right So we're going to kick it with Reverend Al Sharpton Love Reverend Al Alright

And he takes no He takes no days off No he takes no days off Definitely takes no days off That ain't true I done been on vacation With Reverend Al I done been on vacation with Reverend Al. I done seen Reverend Al on vacation. He probably was still

working on that phone. He definitely was. He still was doing stuff. I'm sure he was still in the gym. Take a selfie. Shout out to Reverend Al. Alright, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what we talking about? Well, let's talk about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and he is talking about racism in the NFL.

Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I want she and she and she, and they love them some me. And they love them some me. Why I never heard that part of the song? Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy.

And they love them some me. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. To you. Let's get in some

front page news. Now, I believe today is the NBA trade deadline. They've been talking a lot about possibly James Harden going to Philly for Ben Simmons. Yeah, I saw that.

That wouldn't make no sense, though. That would make no sense. Oh, I mean... Bro, if Ben Simmons can't deal with Philly, he's not going to be able to deal with you. Yeah, he's not going to be able to deal with Brooklyn. I'm talking about for Philly because it's like, you know, you get rid of that piece that is Ben Simmons

and you get James Harden. James Harden's going into free agency. I doubt James Harden wants to be on the East Coast. Ain't no nightlife on the East Coast. Okay, you come from a state in Texas where there's no taxes. Now you got to pay all this money in taxes here in New York. It's going to be the same thing in Philly. James don't want to be on the East Coast.

Yeah, but at least Philly will and deal Ben Simmons, who nobody knows where he wants to be. Yeah, but then Philly's left with nothing after that. Yeah, but— James Harden leaves in free agency, then what? But they have nothing now with Ben Simmons. So you get James and try to make a push for the championship? Yeah, run for the championship.

And hopefully if they do, he'll be like, all right, well, I'll stay another year. I got Joella Bede. I got a couple of pieces around me. Maybe, yeah. I don't know what Brooklyn does with Ben Simmons, though. I don't either. I don't know what Brooklyn does with Brooklyn at this point.

Because when that press get on Ben Simmons' ass, he thought Philly was rough. Goodness gracious. All right, what else we got, Yeezy? Well, let's talk about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. He made some remarks during the State of the League address leading up to the Super Bowl. And this is all, of course, following that federal class action lawsuit that was filed last week by Brian Flores, who is the former Miami Dolphins head coach. He accused the league, along with three NFL franchises, of alleged racial discrimination. Here is what Roger Goodell had to say. Why does the NFL and its owners have such a difficult time at the highest levels hiring black people into decision making positions? We look at the same numbers. We believe in diversity.

We believe in it as a value. We believe it's made it stronger. People have come into the league who are diverse, have been very successful and made us better. I think what we have to do is just continue and find and look and step back and say, we're not doing a good enough job here. We need to find better solutions and better outcomes. That's all he got? That's it. Yeah, I mean, the league is roughly 70% black players

and only two black head coaches among their 32 franchises. Yeah, I don't know what you can do because you can't change the heart of the owners. And I don't even know if it's, you know, legal to make it mandatory that there has to be a certain amount of, you know, black coaches, black offensive coordinators,

defensive coordinators, assistant coaches. I don't even know if that's legal. Doubt it. Right. All they have now is that Rooney rule. You have to uh interview interview for it yep and that's about it that means black people for open head coaching positions and at least one external minority candidate for a coordinator job but that doesn't mean you have

to hire them no exactly now one thing that could help is byron allen as you know is making a bid for the broncos he wants to buy the denvercos. That would make him the only majority owner of an NFL team. What I don't understand is this. What? Robert Smith, you know, it's been rumored that Robert Smith wants to make a bid for the Broncos, too. Why don't Byron Allen and Robert Smith come together? That makes zero sense to me. Why compete with another black man to buy the team?

Because, you know, one of y'all X's the other out. Don't you think? I'm going to ask you, does it increase your chances of having a black owner if you have two people bidding, or does it decrease them? Or does it increase it for y'all to come together? But it's like it's my business and your business. We might not see eye to eye on a lot of things, but, you know, you have enough money to try to purchase it.

I have enough money to try to purchase it. But y'all both want to buy the team. Right. So it's like why not pool your resources, come together, and you know, maybe that gives you a stronger chance. And it might be

too much middle space now. Who runs the team? Who's in control? You know, it's... I don't know. Yeah, I mean, if they both can afford to do it and they both want to,

but maybe they didn't necessarily want to team up with each other, they shouldn't have to. No, they definitely shouldn't have to. I think sometimes we cancel each other out when we do things like that. Nah, but we both should. We shouldn't have to. Actually, they definitely shouldn't have to. I think sometimes we cancel each other out when we do things like that. No, but we both shouldn't have to. It actually might increase the chances

of winning because now you have two people that are different bids. But he said that he was actually encouraged to consider NFL franchise ownership by a pair of prominent league power players. He said NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and New England Patriots owner Roddy Kraft came to me

in November of 2019 and asked me to take a good look at buying an NFL team and after serious consideration I strongly believe I can effectuate positive changes throughout the league and for that reason I will be making a bid for the Denver Broncos now let me ask you a question if I own the Denver Broncos right now can I decide who I want to sell it to is that yeah 100% it's gonna make it look crazy for you to turn down two black people making a bid. Because you can, right?

You know what? I don't want to sell it to either of them. I don't like the direction they want to take the team. I'll sell it to somebody else. And I don't know how many people are making bids either right now. How does that work? I have no idea. That is your front page news.

Okay, I'm acting my wage. I don't know nothing about how billionaires, you know, sell their teams. I can't even speculate. Because even with the Charlotte Hornets, Charlotte Bobcats, I mean, Bob Johnson had a choice to who he wanted to sell it to, right? He sold it to Big MJ. He sold it to Michael Jordan. That just makes so much sense on so many different levels.

Number one, Michael Jordan is black, but number one, he's the greatest basketball player of all time. So Michael Jordan wanted to sell it. Hopefully he'd sell it to another brother. So for the league to have Michael Jordan owning a team, that's great for the NBA. I agree. That was a no-brainer. Alright. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up. wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest.

Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Will Crosby. Good morning, everybody. Hey, good morning, man. Get it off your chest, brother. I just want to briefly address the Jim Jones incident at Gucci. Yes.

And I believe after later on that day or the next day, he went and posted at another European establishment. And I don't say European as negative content. I mean, as far as a high-end designer European establishment.

So he posted it as though it was a win, which in actuality is not. He went from one place that didn't appreciate him or like him because of who he was and didn't give him the proper service to another place that although they did outside the confines of that establishment, they would treat him the same way. We have to learn, and that cliche about going where you are appreciated and not and not tolerated works in one aspect but economically we have it doesn't apply because we have to go and build our own infrastructure what would have been to win if jim would have went right he's a harlem cat if he would have went right over to lennox went to harlem haberdashery which has been around for decades and make some of the best clothes you can see.

I said, listen, I'm at home. I just dropped 20,000 in Harlem Habitashry. I helped a black bone business. I went where I'm not only tolerated, but where I'm loved. And I helped them grow. We talk in our community about black generational wealth. And we only look at it from an individual family aspect. But there's not going to be any sustained generational wealth without a black infrastructure.

So, for instance, and I'm not highlighting you three, but for instance, MVU and Charlemagne, your great-grandchildren, when they spend their money, it's probably going to be in a white community or a white establishment or a white environment, and that's not a knock on them. It's because they're going to, you guys have reached a certain level, economically and socially, that the circles that your kids are going to run are not going to be necessarily the ones that you run, you ran in or predominantly black people run in. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Can I say something real quick?

I want to say something real quick. You're not wrong, but I'm broke, baby. Okay? I ain't got no goddamn money. I would say this, though, but you are absolutely positively wrong. I know Charlamagne and myself, we're creating businesses for our kids to run. I know my businesses are

for our community, whether it comes to the car show, whether it comes to a lot of the other things, it's for our community, so our money will stay in our community. And as far as Jim Jones is concerned, I can't say or deny, but I do know that that was a video that they were shooting, five mics featuring Jim Jones. And our five mics is actually a family member of mine, like a real family.

They were shooting a video, and they were going from store to store, shooting a video talking about shopping. And I don't know how many stores they went to. I think they went to about seven to ten stores, and they were just jumping in and out. So they might have went to some black establishments as well, but we only see what they posted. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't think this brother's wrong, and I'm not even going to say it's a class thing,

brother, because I don't know if you've ever seen that episode of Trigger Warning by Killer Mike, when Killer Mike did an experiment where he purposely was like, I'm not going to spend any money with a white establishment. Everything I spend money on today is going to be with black people. And he caught hell. He couldn't find any places. I'm sorry? No, he was saying that he couldn't find it.

He was saying that Big Mike, Killer Mike. Because it was everything. He was trying to buy, like, products to wash with. Yeah, driving cars. Driving cars, everything. We don't have that infrastructure. So I guess you guys thought of Apple, but Mr. Treated, I was trying to plant, as far as our infrastructure will help sustain black generational wealth for all black people.

Once we have infrastructure where we can go spend our money, not just banks and clothing stores, but things overall where we can have a community and our money stays there. I mean, I agree with you. Right now, if I became a millionaire, and even with the mind that I have, my great-grandchildren are going to spend my, when I'm dead and gone, those millions are going to probably end up outside of the community. Look at, you can name any successful black multimillionaire billionaire, chances are when that money is spent, it's going to be spent outside our community.

Not because they don't want to spend it inside our community because we don't have. I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying. So I just ask that when we say generational wealth, we don't just think about our own immediate circle. Because we want to be able to create generational wealth for all of us. Like my Latino brothers and sisters. Yes, sir. immediate circle because we want to be able to create generational wealth for all of us. My 19-year-old brothers and sisters. Yes, sir.

My brothers and sisters. We got to go, but thank you, man. You've raised a lot of great points this morning, King. You definitely did. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max. hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.

It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition.

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

Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know

what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace.

Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.

Shout out to the Bullying the Peace podcast, L'Oreal, Wax, most importantly, Taylor, for showing me a great time. I mean, yo, y'all should have came, man. Did Taylor give you that, what's the actual machine called?

The machine? The machine. Oh, the, um, hold on. I got it right here. The auto blow. The auto blow machine? No, she gave me, like, this little, I did get a sex toy from her, though. And it, like, vibrates and, like, moves up and down.

I think that's the auto blow. That's the auto blow. Oh, well, yeah. I got that then. All right. Cool. So what's up, though? Damn, man.

I'm going to talk about Isaiah Rashad real quick, man. Evie. So what's up though? Damn, man. I'm going to talk about Isaiah Rashad real quick. So what's up though? I'm going to talk about Isaiah Rashad because, you know, his sex tape dropped and I see a lot of people judging him for being a freak. Like that man being a freak. Like he was, like stop judging

people. Like, just like I saw a video of this lady at the Sippin' Paint and he was being a freak and they was judging her. Let her be, like, stop judging people. Yeah, right. And you know what else I noticed, too? I'ma agree with you, Chav. There is a lot of penis shaming going on, too,

because I saw Lil Fizz. I saw people talking about Nelly. Now, hold on now, ye. Now, I'm not, now Fizz, you gotta learn your angles. You gotta learn your angles. That's all. Okay. Well, which one was your favorite? I mean, I have no favorite.

I have no favorite. But, Joe, you crazy if you think that people are not going to be judgmental in 2022 on the Internet. That's all the Internet is. The Internet is one big space of judgment. Hey, man. Let people live out their kinks, man. Isaiah Rashad and Lil Fizz got a sex scene? No.

I don't think so. You didn't see Isaiah Rashad's sex scene? Isaiah Rashad has one, yes. No, I didn't see it. Okay. Oh, well, you might not want to go look at it. Envy is lying. That video was in the group chat last night.

I was about to say. I was sure Envy thought. That's Isaiah Rashad. Envy be lying, man. Why Envy going to sit here and lie? I swear I did not know. Somebody sent us that in the group chat last night. It's live for no goddamn reason.

I'm sitting there like, they sent it to me. I didn't know that was Isaiah Rashad. Oh, please. So you said it was Isaiah Rashad. You thought you was just watching a random porno. No. First of all, I'm going to human resources because Charlamagne sent me something. I didn't send you that.

That did not come from me. That came from somebody else. And then, you sure that's Isaiah Rashad? I didn't look, so I don't know. Well, I have nothing to do with this. Well, whoever sent it to me, I'm going to human resources. God bless that brother. I just want y'all to know that.

Thanks, Trav. All right, bro. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got rumors on the way? Well, yeah. Let's switch gears for a second and let's talk about Danny Lay's brother getting into it with the baby in a bowling alley in L.A. All right.

We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What's happening?

Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk the baby. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What's happening? Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk to Baby. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, the Baby and Danny Lay's brother, Brandon Bills, got into it at a bowling alley in L.A.

It looks like London on the Track was having a party at the bowling alley and they were all in attendance. Just to flash you guys back, Danny Lay's brother, Brandon Bills, does not like the baby because he doesn't like how the baby treated his sister, Danny Lay. That's fair, right? If you recall, Danny Lay and the baby got into

a spat of disagreement on social media. He was live. He was saying things about her and Brandon Bills had since said that he wanted to box the baby. Here's what else he had to say on Hollywood Unlocked. This a**hole want to call the cops on my sis. This a**hole want to disrespect

my sister online for the world to see. Disrespect my family. You Mr. Tough Guy over here beating up bitches, knocking little guys out here and there. You're not going to do that to me, first off. So this is what we're going to do, bro. You know what I'm saying?

I'm in a hospital right now. I got in a car accident. I got a f***ed up neck. I still beat your ass with my neck like this, bro. On God. When you come to the West Coast, bro, one-on-one fade to see what happens between me and you. I want to see how much of a gangster you are. How much of a real man you are.

12 hours later. All right, well, the baby did go to the West Coast. Well, that video is from a while ago, but he did go to the West Coast. And he was at this party at the bowling alley, and he did see the baby at the bowling alley. Brandon Bills was there, and there was an altercation. There's a video of it all over online and you can see it's the baby and his entourage and Brandon Bills definitely got slammed onto the bowling alley, onto the lanes. Now, Danny Lay posted, lame as hell, running up on my brother on some slippery

ass floors with five or six of your boys while he's by himself and not even touching him. Lame and so sad. I pray this stops now because this is my family and I got a daughter to raise. Sad. Now, prior to seeing this video of the altercation, the baby had posted a picture of himself. It could be related. It could not be related. And he put ain't is changed first and where play gets stepped on. And that was the picture and the caption that he posted. and that was about nine hours ago here is what brandon bills had to say after this video was released you want to grab me by my hair didn't catch no fair one business came and jumped me once i slipped

i spoke to you like a man i say yo come let's talk one-on-one like some men my me and you on the side that's some bitch ass ain't no brownie points there my niggas grab me by my hair on that slippery ass floor my niggas out of here nigga one one person i was by myself and i stood right there i spoke to you well all your niggas right there my i bet you that would have been i've been slipping i would have been throwing it would have been on my it would have been on for real well the reality of the situation is you know when you make that kind of threat the baby and everybody around the baby is on alert for you so if i'm with all my people and you approach me by yourself then me and my folks automatically think it's a threat and you might have something on you yeah so i know he asked for the one-on-one

fade but he has to know that wouldn't be the case you can't pick and choose the outcome of those situations i keep telling y'all over and over, you cannot control how someone reacts to you. And I will never understand how people can say or do things. And then you think you can control a person's response. That's not how life works. Yeah. And I will say this. If you threaten me online and I see you in person, it's on site.

And if I'm the baby, I have what? A couple with me, my friends with me. Everybody's on high alert. And if they see you, I mean, you lucky. I'll be honest. And I'm not picking a side. But you coming to that bowling, I mean, you lucky. I'll be honest in this. I'm not picking a side, but you coming to that bowling alley by yourself. You lucky that you were able to walk out.

That's, that's God's honest truth. And I'm thinking if you walk in, that's the name of my late night talk show too. But that's also like, if you walk up on me and I'm with all my people and you by yourself, I have to think you got a gun on you. Correct.

I just, I mean, that's just my, that would just be my mentality. And I know everybody around me is mentality, but you know, I wish everybody the best in this situation. I agree with Danny Lay in that she hopes it stops now. Because she does have a family.

They do have a child together. And I disagree with Danny Lay when she said that he didn't get touched. I got eyes. Right. Okay. Well, Adele is under fire. And now i have to say this is weird she's being accused of transphobia and this is all because she was at the brit awards on tuesday she was getting her prize for artist of the year and that's a newly created category merging the old best male and

best female artist awards so instead of those two separate ones, there's just Artist of the Year. And here's what she had to say. While the name of this award has changed, but I really love being a woman and being a female artist. I do. I do. I'm really proud of us.

I really, really am. Thank you so much. What did she say? I missed the transphobia. Where's the transphobia at? That's what I'm saying. People were attacking her online for that. For saying she's a woman? Her saying she's proud to be a woman

is transphobic? She's proud to be a woman artist? Huh? I think this is too much now. Because the thing is, part of it is the history of this award, you know, and you can see this is the first time they've merged these two awards

together to just make it artists of the year. Obviously women have a lot rougher time in the entertainment industry. So that's how I took it. I must be missing some context because I just, I just felt like she was saying she's proud to be a woman. What does that have to do with the award merging and everything? I'm so confused. And transphobia.

I'm so confused. What does it all have to do with anything? I must be missing some context. The reason there was a Best Male and Best Female Artist Award. Now there's just an Artist of the Year Award. Okay. So it's not like just men against the men. That means you're the best artist, period.

Correct. Period. Okay. And she said she was proud and loves being a woman and loves being a female artist people in the audience seem to like it but then online people were calling her a turf they were saying she was transphobic and that she had used her platform to call for the destruction of the trans community can we stop listening to people online seriously man who are these people like if there's not a face to these people, like, if these people

you know, aren't someone that you can actually go touch and see while you're listening to these people. Angelia, are you proud to be a woman? Online outrage is silly. Alright? Especially for stuff like this. Yee, are you proud to be a woman? Yeah, I'm proud of the accomplishments that I've made in this male-dominated industry.

And y'all do realize in life, there's always another side, right? Like, just because you, I guess, do something that you think is progressive and male-dominated industry. And y'all do realize in life there's always another side, right? Just because you, I guess, do something that you think is progressive and all-inclusive doesn't mean the folks you are racing have to like it, I guess. Can she say she's proud to be a woman? Who?

Yee. Man, leave me alone. I don't know. I don't even know what we're talking about right now. What are you? Are you proud to be a woman? I am proud to be a black human. Okay. Well, that is your report. And I don't even know if i'm really human i might be an alien i'm okay what technically we all are aliens to somebody else so i am a proud human alien okay because

other people on planets other planets look at us as something different so i am a proud human extraterrestrial aliens okay they're protesting and i'm a superhero all right oh now you're a superhero. And I used to think I was Teen Wolf growing up, so I'm proud to be all of that. Okay? I am me. You're way too little to be Teen Wolf. That is a lie. What are you talking about? Michael J. Fox wasn't that tall? I'm taller than Michael J. Fox. You're not taller than Michael J. Fox.

I'll beat you up right now. I'm not taller than Michael J. Fox. Don't you play with me. No, you are not taller than Michael J. Fox. Michael J. Fox is number five feet tall. And you fall for nine. I am five, six, five, seven. That is a lie. My posture is correct. Michael J. Fox is, hold on, let me get his height right fast.

I'm offended. He's five five. I'm offended. You're short shaming right now. He's definitely taller than you. I'm taller than Michael J. Fox. All right, well, that is your rumor report. You're short shaming right now.

All right, we got front page news next. Me and all the show people about to protest, y'all, outside the radio station. Oh, boy. Okay. I'm scared. Yes. Florida story when we come the radio station. Oh boy. Okay. I'm scared. Yes. Florida story when we come back. Florida. Alright, we'll get to it next. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. The General Insurance is a quality insurance company that has been saving people money for nearly 60 years. What up y'all? It's DJ Envy and you should take a closer look at The General. Call 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com. auto insurance services inc and insurance agency Nashville tennis morning everybody it's DJ Envy Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha God we are the breakfast club

let's get some front page news all right where we starting Yeezy well you know Super Bowl Sunday is coming up they did a survey they said that 48% of fans would like to see the game move to Saturdays moving forward because 14% of Americans call out sick the next day. That makes sense. What do you think about that? Saturdays for the Super Bowl. Not just to give us Monday off. Saturdays are cool football days, but it's nothing like Sundays, man.

Sundays are the days for football. It just is what it is. All right. Now, a couple in Florida was arrested. They allegedly forced their adoptive teen son to live in a small locked structure that was inside of their garage. And they actually had the 13 year old boy living there for several years. He was uncovered by authorities. He was reported missing from the family's home. A detective was investigating the missing person's case and they spotted that eight by eight foot structure. It had a deadbolt lock and a light switch on the exterior wall.

Inside of the box was a bucket. There was a mattress and there was a camera. Now, the mother said the space was used as an office and for storage. But then police found the missing son at school the following day, and they learned what that was really used for through several interviews with the boy. They determined that they had kept him locked up in that box since at least 2017. He was only allowed to leave to go to school. They bought him meals, and he was forced to go to the bathroom in that bucket. They were charged with aggravated child abuse.

That family, the Ferreters. There were also three other kids living inside their home and they've been placed in custody. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you adopt somebody, don't they have to come and do a wellness check on the house and see where the kid's going to be living and staying and all that type of stuff? Yeah, absolutely.

I'm sure they looked in the house and probably inside the house and not that structure. But really sad story. So fortunately, they did manage to find him and get him out of that situation. But it went on for years. So imagine the type of trauma that child is going to be facing from having had to deal with that. And it makes no sense. You could have just kept him in adoption.

Like, that's silly. Some sick people in this world, man. All right. Now, according to reports, Bob Saget did not die of a heart attack or a stroke. Authorities originally believed that was the case. They said what really happened is he hit an object, possibly

the headboard or something like that, but there was a bruise on the back of his head. They said that they believe he didn't know the severity of the injury. He got under the covers, went to sleep, and they said he never woke up and he died from a brain bleed. So they said the toxicology report came back. There was no narcotics or alcohol in his

system. That was horrible. Damn. Send this healing energy to him and his family. Well, they always tell you when you hit your head as a kid or if you have children, if they hit their head, you never go to sleep. You wait a couple of hours. Even if you hit your own head, they say don't go to sleep for a while. But clearly he didn't know how severe it was because, you know, sometimes you can hit your head and think it's not a big deal and be like, ah, that's going to leave a, you know, bump.

And then go to sleep. Yeah. All right. Well, that is your Front Page News. All right. All right. Now, when we come back, Reverend Al Sharpton will be joining us. We're going to kick it with Reverend Al.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's DJ, MD, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. He just keeps getting younger and younger.

That's right. Reverend Al Sharpton. Say that younger bit again. How you doing, Ralph? I'm great. How you doing? Bless black and highly favored, man. How you doing, Ralph? I'm great. How you doing? Bless Black and highly favored, man. How you been doing during this COVID

and pandemic? How's everything been with you? Everything's been good. I mean, luckily, I've not had any COVID and most of my staff around the country's been good, so we've been rolling. If they would just stop killing us, I couldn't stay home.

You know, we had to fight the Ahmaud Arbery case, the case of Daunte Wright, and the George Floyd trial in the middle of COVID. And do the marches in Washington. So we remained active.

So I was concerned being out there, but we had to do what we had to do. They didn't stop shooting during COVID, so we didn't stop doing what we had to do.

That's right. Now, of course, you're based out of New York City. There's a lot of crime going on in New York right now. How can we get a hold of the crime a little bit and kind of stop these shootings, stop these innocent kids and people getting killed? What do you think? I mean, you know, I think that we've got to have a balance where we've got to really deal with crime, but at the same time, not go overboard where we go back into everybody's a criminal in our community where, like, stop and frisk was. Eric Adams, the new mayor,

when I started National Action Network 30 years ago, we had to have five people sign for the incorporation. One was a black cop named Eric Adams. So I've known Eric a long time. He's been in the House of Justice, our headquarters in Harlem, five times since he was elected. And I've said to him, I've got concerns that we don't go overboard because they're

talking about bringing back the plainclothes policemen. So that when they're throwing everybody up against the wall like you're a suspect. But at the same time, we cannot on the ground not be concerned with all these murders and looting going on. So there's got to be community policing.

You've got to make the community work with the precincts. You've got to get rid of these cops that are not conducive to that. One of the things is you ought to force the police in New York to live in New York. So right now they don't. I thought they had to live in New York. No? You need to have police live in the city. You need to have a police live in the city. You need to have them in their precincts work with the community groups.

And I'm not talking about the funded groups. I'm talking about the grassroots groups on the ground, because people can talk to people that can relate to people. And and I think that some of the community groups, those of us like National Action Network that fight police brutality, they've got to say we've got to work with people that are responsive to us around this crime issue. I don't want to be mugged. I don't want to be robbed. I don't want to be killed by a cop or

somebody in our community that's criminal. The other thing we've got to deal with is this mental health situation. The one thing that COVID showed is that something you've been championing, there's a lot of mental health issues. And one thing that COVID showed is that something you've been championed, there's a lot of mental health issues. And it's not caused by people. You never saw the amount of mental health people

in the streets until COVID. And I think that there's been no real announcement on how we're going to really go and deal with that. I think that that is a problem. If somebody stands on a platform at a subway and pushes somebody in front of a train, that's a mental problem. That's not a criminal problem. And you need to

dock to that, not just lock it up. When you lock it up, if you let it out in five months or five years, they still got a problem. That's right. What you're discussing is things I'm very concerned about because it does feel like we're going back to the 94 crime bill days. And you know, is, you know, things I'm very concerned about, because it does feel like we're going back to the 94 crime bill days. And, you know, with Biden in office, he's a tough on crime president.

I can see that happening. I marched on Biden and Clinton in 94 about the crime bill. And most of the civil rights community at that time, Charlemagne, was against me. Many of the congressional black caucus members. And I said, wait a minute, y'all are going to lock us up. They had mandatory jail time if you were caught with two vials of crack.

But you had discretionary time if you had cocaine. I said, well, that's only going to hit us at the bottom. You can't have crack without cocaine. Why aren't y'all hitting the big distributors and all? A half generation of us went to jail for mandatory time

under that. Biden was who helped usher it through for Bill Clinton. And people talk about you can't march against the Democrats. I said, watch me. And we did. And later, I'll give credit, Biden did come to National Action Network about three years ago and admitted he

was wrong. But, I mean, that's after people have done 20, 30 years. So my concern, and I've said this to Eric Adams and I say this to the Black Caucus now, is that you've got Biden in now who had done that in the past. I do not want to see them revert back. He has said he will not. But if the city start pushing him and all this politics, where are we going with this? How do you think that they're doing both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? I think Biden got a tough hand with a 50 50 Senate.

And I think that I wish that he would have put voting rights bill ahead of the infrastructure bill. He uses capital on the infrastructure bill. He used his capital on the infrastructure bill. We didn't get the voting rights bill. And I think they're going to have a challenge in the midterm elections because we voted for Biden around voting rights and George Floyd Policing Act, police brutality. We've got nothing from that. And we've got to deal with, yeah, it's good.

Infrastructure is good. I give him credit on that. Some of the things are good. He's not Donald Trump. But the things that we wanted, we've not gotten. And we don't see a clear path. They need to make it clear how we do that. In terms of Kamala Harris, a vice president, if she goes too far out there, you're overshadowing the president.

If you don't go far enough, what are you doing? So she's in a very precarious position. Wow. Alright, we got more with Reverend Al Sharpton. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Reverend

Al Sharpton. Charlamagne? You know, you got the new book, Righteous Troublemakers, Untold Stories of the Social Justice Movement in America. What is the book about? I wanted to come out, especially we? You know, you got the new book, Righteous Troublemakers, Untold Stories of the Social Justice Movement in America. What is the book about? I wanted to come out, especially during Black History Month, because growing up in the movement in the North, it occurred to me there were people that I didn't know about and clearly the public didn't know about that made real changes and they played them off to the side. And what happened was last year when we had the big march on Washington around George Floyd and the cases, we had over 200,000 people in the middle of a pandemic, and we're marching, we're walking, rather, to the stage,

to the steps where we're going to speak right where Dr. King spoke. Martin Luther King III and me, families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Aubrey, all of them were there. And there was this old man in the crowd jumping up and down with something in his hand. And the security guys around me just kept us moving. I said, wait a minute, what is that old man doing? And they said, keep moving, Reverend.

I said, no, get that old man. And they brought him over to me. And he said, he looked like he was in his 80s. He said, Reverend, this is a button. And they read the button, March on Washington, 63. He said, I was here in 63 with Dr. King, and I wanted to be here with you today. And he just went back in the crowd. A couple hundred thousand people.

And I thought about it. It haunted me for a while. I said, how many people that knew they were not going to be in the newspaper in the morning, that knew they were not going to be in the newspaper in the morning. They knew they were not going to be interviewed on TV tonight. These are the people take their money for unrecognized reasons and made the movement work. And I wanted to profile it. Most people don't know.

There was a black woman arrested for refusing to give up her seat in front of the bus in Montgomery, Alabama, nine months before Rosa Parks. They didn't make a rally around and, make a symbol out of her, because they said she was too dark-skinned and she was pregnant and not married. Wow. I write about her.

There was an attorney named Paulie Murray who wrote a lot of the legal work that Thurgood Marshall used in the historic Brown versus the Board of Education Supreme Court case they would not pump her up blow her up as we would say because she was a woman and gay so I wanted to write a book about look these people paid dues these people made it possible for us to get where we are and they didn't get no limelight and I figured well I have some shine on me I wanted to shine it on those that I know. I know down through the years, if I had called marches and nobody came, I'm just a guy going for a walk.

So it's time to sometimes say, wait a minute, you know these people back here are sacrificing. I'm going to get a little profile. But they ain't getting nothing. They're the real champions of the movement. You know, you talk about the 80-year-old man who came to your march, and you know, you're an OG ref, so

why don't I see, I feel like I don't see the older and younger generations of leaders working together more. Not just folks that's already on your team, but like, you know, the Tamika Mallory's, the Kimberly Johnson's. I think a lot of it is... Kimberly Jones, I'm sorry. I think a lot of it is that everybody wants to make their brand, make their name.

And I think you've got to give them space. I came up, generation ahead of me was John Lewis and Jesse Jackson. And I wanted to make my own bone. So I don't interfere with that. But I think that what has to happen is those that have traditional organizations like ours need to be working with the young people in our organization because some of them come out of our organization and there should be a bond in there. I think

a lot of them feel, well, if I'm too much around Sharpton or the head of NACP, it's going to overwhelm me. They need to get their own brand. But work with other people because the movement is going to have to be continued beyond us. I don't care who we are. We ain't going to last forever. And I think

you're right. We've got to have that continuity of struggle. Like right now, they've got all kind of stuff out there against Black Lives Matter. And I talked to some of them and said, wait a minute. We need to know what's real, what's not real so we can stand together. I remember when about

20 years ago, press was on me about something and Reverend Jackson called me who was like a mentor to me but we hadn't been talking. He said, Al, I keep telling you that an oak tree can only be covered in the forest by another oak tree. A bush can't cover it because it's not

tall enough. Oak trees need to cover oak trees. And that's the kind of maturity we need from both the young and the old. The old can't hold on too long and the young can't act like they just invented the wheel. We all gotta try to find a way to do it. What's the Bible say?

Old folks for counsel, young folks for war, right? That's right. Exactly. It sounds like you're open to giving that counsel. I'm open to give that counsel but they need to want the counsel. I don't need to giving that counsel. I'm open to give that counsel, but they need to want the counsel. I don't need to impose it. But I'm saying whether I give the counsel or not, they ought to be working together. And I can counsel through our young people.

You know, Talik McMillan, I've got a 25-year-old youth leader that's great. I think all of us need to do what we've got to do. And it's not only in the movement. It's in hip-hop. I mean, I was talking to a young sister at our youth. We have a group that we call Huddle that our young people meet every week. So I don't go every week, but I was in my office one night, and I said, let me show you some stuff.

I'm going to impress her. She was 15, 16. And I said, here's a picture with me and Puffy, and here's a picture with me and this one, and I did Michael here's a picture with me and Puffy and here's a picture with me and this one and I did Michael Jackson's funeral. She said, oh, do you know any young artists? And I'm like, I'm like, okay.

But to them, that's 50 years old. Oh, geez. Somebody just told us something earlier that just made us feel dumb. Major hype. He's like, yeah, y'all were born in the 1900s. Yeah, we were though. But I'm like, that just make it y'all were born in the 1900s. Yeah, we were though. But I'm like, that just make it sound like we was born a long time ago.

Yeah, that's right. That's right. I was going to ask, with everything going on, I just wanted your opinion on some of the things. I want to start off with Whoopi, Whoopi Goldberg. I mean, I think. What are your thoughts on that? All right.

First of all, there's no doubt Hitler went after the Jews as a race. Absolutely. Because he went for the white supremacist white Aryan. It was based on race. There are the debates about whether it's race or religion. But the challenge that you had is the Holocaust was based on race about an Aryan nation. That's right. Now, the question becomes for me in this cancel culture is how you can suspend Whoopi, but you got all kind of maturations around Joe Rogan.

I was going to ask you about that. So, I mean, so what's the standard here? I think it's based on company. I think it's the company you work for. I think it's the company and I think it's whether or not you can put public pressure. ABC is different in terms of the corporate lineup than Spotify. What do you think about what Joe Rogan said? And do you think more should have happened?

I think, again, it's the company's got to deal with it. I think the fact that the company's losing a lot of people, if they're going to choose him over them, then we know who they are. And I think, you know, somebody asked me, TMZ, are you calling them to fire them? Are you going after them like years ago you went after Imus? I said they may want us to do that. We've got to be strategic.

We knew the vulnerability of CBS and NBC. Spotify is a different structure. Right now, we jumped on NFL and we had a meeting the other day with Goodell. You've got advertisers. You've got public finance that NFL has to deal with. Where's your nerve point with Spotify? Go back to counseling. Those of us that's been in this a while need to always tell people you've got to pick the fights you can win.

And all motion ain't movement. All right, we've got more with Reverend Al Sharpton. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Oh, yeah. Oh, is that Kenyon again? Oh, it's Kenyon.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories their journeys and

the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together you know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout well that's when the real magic happens so if you love hearing real inspiring stories from the people you know follow and admire join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?

Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.

I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth,

gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Reverend Al Sharpton. Now, you said you had a meeting with Roger Goodell from the NFL. How did that go? We had a Zoom meeting. I wrote him a letter Friday, asked for a meeting, and on Monday, Mark Morial of the Urban League, Derek Johnson of the NAACP, Reverend Barbara Skinner,

and Melody Campbell and I had a meeting. And we told him the Rooney rule is out the window. It's not worked. When you look at the Belichick text message that he sent to the wrong Brian rather than Brian Flores, he was sending it to the white Brian. He sent it to Brian Flores. It shows that they were just going through the motions, act like we interviewed a black and let it go.

So you need to get rid of the Rooney rule. We need rules that deal. We're not rules necessarily, but we need timetable, target dates, achievements, assessments, hard calendar or anything other than that is unacceptable. I said, now, let me tell you this, Commissioner Goodell. This is not just about jumping up and down outside the stadium, which I've done. This is about all of your 32 teams get public financing. People don't understand

the taxpayers have paid for these stadiums to be built. Taxpayers are paying a lot of tax abatements. We'll go into these city councils in these cities and have them vote because no city councilman is going to get up there and vote against us on saying the NFL has 32 teams, never had a black winner, a black owner rather.

32 teams now only have two black coaches. So we can go the public route and we can tell your advertisers that if they advertise with you next Super Bowl, you got a problem with us. Let's sit down and talk. He said that we're going to have concrete meetings. I don't want, first of all, I don't want Brian Flores to be the next Colin Kaepernick. I think too many just walked over Kaepernick and didn't deal with the reality of that nothing should have went forward until that man has a job back.

We don't want that to happen to Brian Flores. And secondly, I think that we've got to go through, if it's a year marker or a six-month marker, when do we see ownership? When do we see the amount of black coaches increase? Is it legal to say, look, y'all have to have a mandatory amount of black coaches in the NFL? It's not legal if you say the number.

It is legal to say that it has to be more diverse. And a city council can say there's not enough diversity for us to give public funds. They don't have to give a number. They say we can't invest public funds in an entity that historically has not shown diversity.

I want to go back to something you were saying about cancel culture. Do you think we have enough conversations around how culture and society change? Because one of my favorite books is Dr. Peniel Joseph, The Sword in the Shield. But if you read about Martin Luther King Jr. back then, and just, you know, he didn't want women to lead the movement, wouldn't let women speak at rallies, things like that. People would call that misogynistic. They would call it sexist.

They would say he was terrible to his wife. So in this era, they probably would want to cancel him. Yeah. So it's like, shouldn't people be allowed to grow and evolve? And shouldn't we have discussions about how culture has changed? If we're going to be honest, all of us has grown and evolved. That's right. And I think that we've got to be able to correct people without canceling them. I mean, who among us would not be canceled?

That's right. And I think that sometimes we have taken it too far. I think, yes, some people ought to be totally dismissed if they do an overt act that that is against the interests of the public. But if you're evolving and misspeak, if you're evolving and do something inadvertently that was not hate-filled, you can evolve. You sit down and talk about that. And I think that they've used this in a way that I think is dangerous. For President Joe Biden, right, and him asking for all these different things when he was on his campaign trail,

and he promised all these different things, and the fact his campaign trail. And he promised all these different things. And the fact that he's not doing that, where do we go as a people? I think the issue we're going to have is during the midterms is that if we vote a new Senate in and if we vote a new House in, it gives them more to work with. Now, whether we are pro Biden or not, he's going to be there another two years. His reason that he can't do a lot now is only 50-50. Well, if he gets more senators, then you have no excuse. If you get more congressmen, you have no

excuse, which is why it is vital that we get past these voting impediments that they're putting up. The Republicans had a long plan. They said that we are going to take the federal courts and the Supreme Court. They just decided that they were not going to turn over the Alabama voting restrictions. Why? Because Donald Trump, with all of his imbecilic kind of actions, put three people

on the Supreme Court. So you can say what you want. That's why I'm saying we all got to sit down and deal with strategy. And you mentioned a great book with Peniel, is that there always has got to be people that do things differently. But we've got to be going the same place. And I think that we have got to say, if we deliver Georgia, if we deliver North Carolina, if we deliver this, we expect this, that, or the other. And y'all got two years to do it

or you're going to suffer in 24. We certainly can't go back and support people that are just outright saying that Trump won the election. Why do you think? I was going to ask, what are your thoughts? You know, yesterday, it was all over social media. You're on social media about the crack pipe bill, you know, that

the president's going to be giving away crack pipes. What were your thoughts on that bill that he passed yesterday and the fact that he's given that bill where he's talking about helping black people? I mean, I think, again, are you trying to personify us with crack pipe? It just gives me a felt like, yeah, it just gives me an eerie feeling of going back to 94. And I don't want to go back there. And I think that if we start accepting that in conversation, it will then materialize in the legal community. And that's dangerous.

But also, too, it was the grant. And the grant is for what? The provision of smoking kits. Yeah. You know what I mean? To help, what do they call it? Oh, the safe. It's basically like safe drug use

to make sure they don't spread diseases with needles and things like that. But the language and the way they spend it, I think it can give the wrong kind of inference. Why do you think there's not more of an uproar over the fact that our voting rights are being taken away? I don't understand it. I mean, we are sitting around and they're stripping us one right after another.

And I think that we've got to—it's funny. I was in Miami over the weekend for the anniversary of Trayvon Martin. And I was telling the crowd at the dinner, I said, we cannot get into just going for what is trendy and not deal with the solid issues. There's nothing more solid about the voting thing. Everything you do, I meet

people all the time, not just young people, old people, I'm not into politics. Yes, you are. The clothes that you wear was approved through some agency that said that apparel is approvable. The food you eat, FDA had to approve it. Everything is political.

The question is whether you have enough self-respect that you're going to say, I'm going to decide who's going to make decisions on my life. I was riding around many years ago with a brother who was from a different part of the movement than me, but we were friends. And we was riding in Atlanta, Georgia, and he said to me, you know, Red Mal, I don't follow no rules like y'all, no legislation like y'all. I just do my own thing.

I'm black, black, black, black, black. I said, then why did you just stop for that red light? And he looked at me and laughed. I said, you follow what is going to protect you. That's right. Yeah. The man that put that red light there gave you regulation. So let's quit playing with ourselves and get down to some real basics.

When you wake up every morning, how do you decide what's on the agenda for today? There's so much going on. We just named a bunch, right? But then, you know, we're still fighting for housing and the fact that they're not giving us loans and the fact that the areas that we live in appraise a lot lower than other areas. We're still fighting for cannabis and the fact that a lot of us been arrested and locked up and spent years in prison, but not too many of us own dispensaries, not too many own licenses. How do you decide what's the fight of the day? You know what I mean?

Because there's so much going on. You've got to do what your, you know, I have a staff of 51 nationwide regional offices in six cities. You've got to deal with our basic thrust in National Action Network has been dealing with racial violence and voting

rights. That's why Mark Moriala and I work together in NAACP and like what they call a traditional organization. Everybody takes the area they have expertise in because you can't be all over the place. So if it comes up with a police shooting or a racial killing like Aubrey, they defer to me because National Action Network has the staff to do that. I do that and all that. If it's something about economic development, I defer to Mark Morial. The way I always like to say it is one year I spoke at Nance Convention

and said we got to be like geese. If you watch geese fly, there's one goose out front and he's flanked by everybody else and they go. The one out front takes all of the hits, all of the gnats, all of the wind first. And he takes it as long as he can,

then he folds back in and another geese come in. We got to at least have geese sense. Wow. At least have geese sense. That's real. Well, listen, man, Righteous Troublemakers, Untold Stories of the Social Justice Movement in America from the Reverend Al Sharpton is available right now. That's right.

Thank you for coming, brother. Thank you for having me. Always good to see y'all. It's Reverend Al Sharpton. It's The. Thank you for coming, brother. Thank you for having me. Always good to see y'all. Yes, sir. It's Reverend Al Sharpton. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee

on The Breakfast Club. Well, are you ready for a different kind of versus at the 2022 NBA All-Star Weekend? Well, Allen Iverson is going to compete, and he'll be competing against Tracy McGrady. Are you all ready to see that?

That's very interesting. I'd like to see how they do it. I'm actually DJing it. Okay, okay. So it'll be their best highlights throughout their career, and it'll be a live stream presentation. Now, MV, I already know Allen Iverson is your favorite of all time.

Absolutely. Shout out to AI. That's two totally different styles, though. It is. Like when Tracy McGrady used to finish around the rim, he would finish around the rim with dunks and all of that kind of stuff. But, you know, AI ball handling skills was second to none.

So it's just like, that's two different total styles. How do you even judge that? It depends what you like. You like rim action or you like boy. I hate you. Yeah. I feel like he's good at both. All right.

And Taylor works will be the official host for the event. So I'm sure that's going to be really dope to watch. I think Fat Joe's doing something too. But you know, AI, you know, he crossed over. Why are you looking at me like that, man? Yo, stop looking at me. Go ahead, G. All right.

All right. You guys done? We done. We finished. All right. I didn't bite the bait, Angelique, if you notice. He put that worm out there. I didn't put my mouth nowhere near it.

I didn't put no worm out there, but Iverson is his handling skills. He crossed over Jordan. I think Iverson. Why are you stuttering? What's going on? Because Charlamagne is making me uncomfortable. Oh, I'm making Jordan. I think Iverson. Why are you stuttering? Because Charlamagne is making me uncomfortable. I'm making you uncomfortable? Yes, you are. Wow.

Yes, you are. All right. All right. Well, speaking of sporting events, Will Smith and Peacock have dropped their Bel Air Super Bowl commercial spot. Listen to this. Now this is a story all about how they have a good guy. Turn upside down. I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there. to this. What is this? What is this?

What was that? Now, the way they did this commercial was he got people from all over the world to join him in their own rendition of the theme song. So people submitted videos of themselves singing or performing the theme song. They cut it up and edited it for that Super Bowl spot. I'm going to watch. That reggaeton one sounded amazing. Yeah, I'm going to watch. I just don't know how I feel about dark, fresh prints,

but I mean, I can't judge it until I see it, right? But I'm going to watch. All right, now another commercial you'll be able to see during the Super Bowl is for Squarespace and Day of Stars and that. Andre3000 makes an appearance and he also does the voiceover. Listen to this.

Sally sold seashells by the seashore. But the seashells didn't sell so well. So Sally set up a seashell store on Squarespace. Soon her seashell started selling. Sally was such a seaside sensation. She also sold swanky seashell accessories, seashell serenity sessions,

savory seaside snacks, even seashell excursions of the seashore. Sally's seashells were so successful, she sailed into the setting sun as a seashell celebrity. Shucks. Alright, so getting ready for these Super Bowl commercials on Sunday. I know that check was stupid.

I know the check that $103,000 got for that was stupid, especially to get $103,000 to do something, because he's not even motivated. All right. And Eminem is launching a Mom's Spaghetti L.A. pop-up shop, and that's going to be for the Super Bowl. So if you are in downtown L.A., they're going to have that there and it'll be open on,

well, it's open now and it stays open all the way up until Sunday. So it'll also be available on Postmates. You can order that as well. He just opened that Mom's Spaghetti location

in Detroit in September of last year. I'm in Detroit right now. I should stop by there. All right. And Snoop Dogg now officially owns Death Row Records. So congratulations to him. Shout out to Snoop.. And Snoop Dogg now officially owns Death Row Records. So congratulations

to him. Shout out to Snoop. According to our press release, he'll be leading the brand for the coming years as its new owner. And he did emphasize how excited he is to have this great brand. He said, I'm thrilled and appreciative of the opportunity to acquire the

iconic and culturally significant Death Row Records brand, which has immense untapped future value does he own the brand and the music or just the brand that's what i wanted right yeah i was curious too did he own the masters is it the music or just you know the new brand well i guess um yeah where i'm not sure how the whole deal works out but i'm sure in the coming uh we'll find out. But yes. Now, in the meantime, with Snoop Dogg, he's being sued,

according to TMZ, for a sexual assault. A woman is saying that he forced oral sex on her back in 2013. Now, Snoop Dogg's representative has responded to this and they're saying

that the woman is filing this suit on the heels of the Super Bowl, hoping that she'll get a payday from it. That's right. So according that the woman is filing this suit on the heels of the Super Bowl, hoping that she'll get a payday from it. That's right. So according to the woman, she says that she attended back in 2013 one of Snoop's shows in Anaheim, California. And Bishop Don Juan, who is a longtime associate of Snoop's, we all know Bishop Don Juan, offered her a ride home. She said she was exhausted and fell asleep at his house and awoke at 4 a.m. the next morning. And that's when the bishop removed his penis from his pants and forced his penis in her face.

She also says that the bishop gave her a dress, told her to put it on so they could go to Snoop's studio. He said, I want to see if they'll make you the weather girl for some TV show. And she said that she's a model and a dancer. She said she went to Snoop's, had a stomachache, so she went to the bathroom. And while she was on the toilet, Snoop walked in and stood with his crotch in her face and forced oral sex on her. Now, afterwards, he said, Bishop said, come on, take a picture with Snoop. And she said she was scared. So that's why she took the photo. And then Snoop wouldn't hire her because she refused to willingly and enthusiastically give oral sex. Now, Snoop denies everything. He posted an image on his Instagram and said that

she is a gold digger. The woman wanted just a little bit under 10 million dollars. And that demand was rejected, according to sources. If you thought for one second they and I have no idea who they is, weren't going to come at Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Eminem the week of the Super Bowl. Were they doing the halftime show? You out of your damn mind. I knew they was going to pull up something. I thought it would be like old lyrics or something from an old interview, but they went straight criminal. And I'm glad they see the play because they went to Snoop's team,

told Snoop's team there's an allegation, and unless you pay such and such, we're going to sue. And they thought he would settle because he didn't want the bad press for the Super Bowl. His team said no, and they sued and leaked the story. And I bet you they're still hoping he pays now to make it go away. If you can't see the play, I don't know what to tell you. Alright, well that is your

rumor reports. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Now, when we come back Charlamagne, who you giving your donkey to? You know, it's kind of an update because I gave this person donkey of the day last year, but she just got sentenced. Mary Margaret Cooper. She's a nun. She needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like

to have a word with her. Alright, we'll get into that next it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club your mornings will never be the same the general insurance the quality insurance company that has been saving people money for nearly 60 years what up y'all it's dj envy and you should take a closer look at the general call 800 general or visit thegeneral.com. The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc. and Insurance Agency, Nashville, Tennessee. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. You can see the donkey. Bunch of bad guys.

It's time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yes, Don here today for Thursday, February 10th, goes to 80-year-old Mary Margaret Kruper. She's a nun, okay? What is a nun? Well, I did some research this morning, and by research, I mean Google.

And a nun is a woman who vows to dedicate her life to religious service. Nuns take vows that vary by faith and order, but often involve dedicating themselves to a life of poverty and chastity. That means no money, no sex, right? Ironically, that's most prostitutes' motto, too, okay? Some nuns devote themselves to prayer, while others known as religious sisters serve their community by helping the poor, teaching in schools, or providing health care.

Nuns are not allowed to marry, use social media, are smartphones, they can't own property, are engaged in sexual relationships. Basically, nuns are like that boring-ass piece of grilled chicken you eat for dinner two times a day when you eat and clean when you're on your workout vibes. Okay? I'm not knocking them at all.

It takes extreme discipline to be a nun, but imagine doing all that. And when it's all said and done, you and Kodak Black in heaven together. Okay? And ain't no VIP. Once you pass those pearly gates, y'all are all in the same section. Imagine. But then again, nuns probably have so much peace.

No social media, no smartphone. Must be amazing for your mental and emotional health. And their pH balance has never been thrown off by a dirty penis. So it's a million benefits, I'm sure, to being nun. But all nuns are not created equal, okay? And Mary Margaret Cooper proves that.

In fact, I would say that most nuns are fronting and doing the best they can just like the rest of us, okay? There's no such thing as perfect people. We all fall short. And I don't knock anyone for the attempt. Just don't be a hypocrite and judge the rest of us publicly when you know you're doing the same sins, if not worse, privately. Now, if you remember, I gave Mary Margaret Cooper donkey at a day last summer for doing this. Let's go to KCAL CBS 9 for the report, please.

A retired nun tonight is now facing fraud and money laundering charges in connection with an embezzlement scheme. 79-year-old Mary Kruper was the principal of St. James Catholic School in Torrance for almost three decades. Prosecutors say she stole more than $835,000 in school funds, including tuition and charitable donations. Kruper is accused of using that money to pay credit card bills and lavish gambling trips to Las Vegas. She has agreed to plead guilty to wire fraud and money laundering charges. She now faces up to 40 years in federal prison. $830 plus grand to fund her gambling habit.

All right? Thou shalt not steal is one of the Ten Commandments. That's an alleged big one, guys. Okay, Moses wrote that on a stone tablet. All right? I know tweets are the new stone tablets, but back in the day it took a lot of work to get a chisel and write that in stone. Thou shalt not steal. That's 17 characters. All right. I know tweets are the new stone tablets, but back in the day, it took a lot of work to get a chisel and write that in stone. Thou shalt not steal.

That's 17 characters. All right. Let that be a lesson to all you long tweeters and folks who like to post long captions. Less is more. All right. Now the Bible doesn't specifically say you shouldn't gamble, but it does say money is the root of all evil.

So gambling falls under that, even though the whole Bible is technically a gamble because we break every rule the Bible tells us not to break and hope that the whole forgiveness, repentance thing works out for us. That is a gamble. OK, I'm saying all that to say all married and none was out here sinning like the rest of us. OK, well, she's been sentenced for those sins.

Can we go to local 12 WKRC for the report, please? This was Sister Mary Margaret Kruper as she headed into the federal court building in downtown L.A. last July to plead guilty to wire fraud and money laundering. Today, she went back to court to be sentenced for her crimes. The 80-year-old was the longtime principal at St. James Catholic School in Torrance. During her final decade at the school, the feds say Kruper embezzled more than $835,000. They say she used that money to support her gambling habit, take trips to Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe, and Temecula, as well as to pay personal expenses. The feds say Kruper regularly falsified school financial records to hide her crimes. Then, in an attempt to cover up what she'd done, they say she ordered school employees

to alter records and destroy documents during an audit that exposed the theft. I think all the time all these PPP scams was getting, all right, for scamming. Okay, one year in prison for an 80-year-old woman. This is Mary. Okay, I'm holding up a picture of Mary right now. This is Mary. Now, the max was 40 years, all right? She ended up getting one year. Was it sympathy because she's grandma?

Was it white privilege or was it God? Was it prayer? Was it all the other nuns coming together to pray for Mary? I don't want to hear nothing about those sins, those broken laws, that violation of vows, commandments, whatever you want to call them. Mary, you made a choice and you knew the choice you was making. Okay. You knew the choice you was making was against all of those things you stood for when you did it. And you did it for a decade, a whole decade. Mary, you're 80. Now I know we all mature at different times, but by 70, you should have it all figured out. I'm sure you make bad decisions when you're 70, because Hey, you never been 70 before, but I think by 70, we should all be all figured out. I'm sure you make bad decisions when you're 70 because, hey, you've never been 70 before.

But I think by 70, we should all be past the life of crime unless, of course, we are just criminals. Okay? Career criminals. But I'm not here to judge. That's God's job. All I want to say is don't pretend to be something you're not. Okay? The real you will always catch up.

You can't lead two lives. And we as people have to be careful Okay, because not everything is what it seems to be Alright, and not all people are You know, what they seem to be Some people pretend to be the beach But they're actually quicksand That is what Mary was

Please give Mary Margaret Krupler The biggest hee-haw One year Please give Mary Margaret Krupler the biggest hee-haw. One year, $835,000. Yeah, she got a year and a day. Stealing from the church, stealing from that school for a decade. A decade of scamming. And they want her to give the money back, right?

Pay the money back, restitution? Oh, you ain't getting the money back. She said, you got to get that back in blood. I'm 80 years old, and I got a year to do a year and a day. I'll be 81 when I come home. Maybe 82, depending on when our birthday land. Please.

So let me ask you a question. I'm sure there's somebody out there right now that did a PPP scam and is scared. Big, big, big, big, big time they got to. Right?

And they got a lot more time than Mary did. Is that fair? Of course it's not fair. What do you mean? It's not right. Of course it's not fair. We know that it's not right of course it's not fair we know that

but it might have been God you're right might have been prayer I doubt it I doubt it too I doubt it God be ignoring y'all y'all be praying

some things y'all pray to God before he sends his spam folder or she sends her spam folder telling y'all that right now alright isn't baby isn't baby blue from pretty Ricky going to jail in jail right now. All right. Isn't Baby Blue from Pretty Ricky going to jail

in jail right now? I think he only got a year. He just surrendered himself for this? I think he only got a year. So maybe he prayed. Oh, you did? Yeah.

Maybe somebody prayed for him too. All right. All right. I said he got more than $24 million from that. Lord, have mercy. Oh, he doing better than Mary.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, what's your question for Yee? Hey, Angela. Okay, so I've been talking to this guy for a year and a half, and he's been in really bad relationships, a bad marriage and everything, but he doesn't... We do everything together.

He's a really sweet guy, but he doesn't like titles. Like, he considers me his girlfriend, but he doesn't want to say that. Oh, he's got some issues. He's told me before, like, he really needs to heal. And he's told me, like, he's broken before. And he's like, but if I talk to somebody else, or, like, he'll get upset.

And I know he doesn't talk to anybody else, but we just don't have a title. And he's asked, like, what's the difference? You know, I'm just wondering, like, is it worth the wait? Is it, like, a waste of my time? What's your opinion? So everything else is great. You don't think that he's doing anything else. He doesn't want to be with anybody else.

You just don't have a title. He doesn't introduce you like, this is my girlfriend. Right. Like, I've met his family and it's just, hey, y'all, this is Nicole. Like, I've met all his friends. Like, we've gone out of town. We've traveled with my friends. But it's just, this is Nicole. That's it.

All right. And it bothers you? It does. It does. So what is it that you want? We've gotten arguments about it before. And like he's apologized and he's like he told me like he never wants another committed relationship like that. So is he committed or is he not committed?

That's what I'm confused about because if he's committed and he's saying he is but then he's saying he doesn't want a committed relationship, it's confusing. Right, right. And that's where my dilemma is. Some of my girlfriends are like you know, waited out and then people are like, y'all

together and I'm like, but we're not. It feels like he's making it more complicated than it has to be. If he's not talking to anybody else, you're not, you're the person he wants to be with. Everything else is amazing. It's just no title, but he has told you that he has some trauma from his past relationships. Right. Right. Yes.

And so being sensitive to that, and this is a man that you care about, how is he dealing with that? Like he, he's into meditation and everything um he talks to me about like everything like even like on his bad days when somebody has made him upset like he like he's truly like like he said that like he's like man you're like my soulmate man like i just like you're everything that like i've I've wanted. And, like, he considers me, like, his true, like, best friend. But, like, the title of a wife or a girlfriend or anything like that, like, it freaks him the heck out. Yeah.

Do you see any evolution from when you first started dating him to now? Do you feel like things are getting better? I do. I really do. Like, the minute I say, like, hey, like like when am I going to meet your son and like I did that like he did that like the next couple months like why do you introduce me to your friends and family he like okay no problem here you go like and it's not like a one-time thing like just to make me happy like I've met his family more than one time after that you know

so if whatever I have an issue with which is what you do in a relationship like he's fixed it right okay I mean it feels like everything is commendable I I wouldn't want you to create problems if there are none but I also don't want to downplay how you feel because there's two things going on here you know he still has this trauma. He's been open and honest with you about it. And he says he doesn't want to quote be committed, but he is committed. So it feels like he has some things he needs to work out and he does need to get maybe some professional help to really discuss and delve into the things that he needs to do. You know, he says he's meditating and you say he's meditating and everything else is amazing.

But I also want to make sure that you get what you want. So what I think is that there has to be, what is the end goal here? Does he plan to ever get married again? We've talked about that. Like, even if it's not, we just brought it up in discussion.

He's like, I don't think I can. And I'm like, okay, I've been married before, you know, and I'm like, okay, well, and I know people have been, I know you've talked about it. Like people could be in relationships for like 15 years and never really truly be married legally you know so I'm like I'm truly okay with not ever getting married again like he's been there I've been there you know so what is it that bothers you is it that you feel like you guys aren't exclusive is it that you want him to introduce you a certain way?

I think that's what it is for me. Yeah. Which one? And I want it to be, like, introduced a different way. So how does he introduce you? Just as Nicole. Like, this is, hey, mom, this is Nicole. Like, he'll just, like, it's just, but it's not, this is my friend. He never says, like, this is my friend, Nicole. Or, like, this is Nicole. Like, he'll just like, it's just, but it's not, this is my friend.

He never says like, this is my friend, Nicole. Or like, this is my girl. It's just, this is Nicole. Okay. Well, listen, I would say. They're like, go ahead. They know what it is, though. Like, I'm sure his family knows what he's been through.

Right. Oh, no, they have. That is correct. They have. Okay. It feels like you're being really patient with him and you're helping him work through his problems and his issues. And I do feel like sometimes putting pressure on somebody when they're not

ready for it and they've been vocal about how they feel about something, it leaves the ball in your court as far as to what you want to do. And so the ball is in your court. I do feel like if he's doing everything that you want and everything that you need, I wouldn't give up on him. Okay. Okay. Thank you so much. Okay. All right.

No problem. Y'all just keep working through it. Keep having a good time enjoying yourself, but just let him know that at some point, this is something that will have to be addressed again when you're, when he's more comfortable to discuss. To discuss. Okay. Thank you so much.

All right. Good luck. All right. Good luck. Ask he. Bye-bye. 800-585-1051. If you need advice, hit it right now. All lines are wide open. It's the Breakfast Club. Ask Yee. Thank you, bye-bye. 800-585-1051. If you need advice, hit her right now.

All lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on in. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, what's your name? Hey, my name's Naysha. How are you guys? Hey, Naysha. How you feeling?

Good, good. On my way to work. All right. What's your question for Yee? So I have a really good, well, I would say good business plan for me to open up a coffee shop. Now, it's a little different. I have a lot of ideas that go into it, and I have a lot of ideas for continuous profit and stuff like that. But I work a job that's like 70 hours a week and I never really have time to work on my business plan.

So all my ideas are just in my head. So I guess my question is, how do I find time to work on my business? And also, you know, I don't have money to open a business. So I guess also that, you know, how do I find investors? What's the best way to fund a business? What is your business? So my goal is to open a coffee shop. I don't want to give too much details because it has really good, you know. So I don't know.

I just don't know what I should do to start this business. I don't know how to start, you know, reaching out to people to find investors and stuff like that. Well, I will say when you open a business, you know, I own a coffee shop. And one of the main things you need to think about is the location. Where are you going to have this location so that it'll be profitable? The number one reason that brick and mortar businesses fail is because of location. So make sure you do your due diligence, right? This is a time for you to be planning, to make sure that you do all the research that

you need to do. Look at competing brands, other places, spaces that you like. Do the research. Put together a deck. But you have to create time if you want to start a business or else it won't work. Now, is there anybody that you know that you could partner with also or somebody that you could use as a consultant? Because I know you said you don't have money,

but is there some type of equity or somebody that would be equally passionate? Yeah, my boyfriend. We both are working on this plan. We have our own inputs, our own ideas. I've written stuff down. I've taken the time to write everything down to write down all the legal questions that I may have, because it is going to be involved with

cannabis. So I live in Florida. And right now it's only legal medically. So my kind of idea is to open a place where people can maybe use their medicine and be in a chill spot because right now in Florida you can only use cannabis on a property that's owned like I'm the owner of the property and I say yes you can smoke here you can use your medicine then you can use it but so it has to be a place that I can own and buy it can't be like a rented spot so there's just a lot that goes into it because I'm trying to make it into maybe in the future when it does become recreational. I'm already have my foot in the door. And do some research. There are some places like CBD coffee shops that already exist in other cities. So I would try to make sure I get to visit them. But you do have to make sure you

allocate time to this. Because if you're just doing this in your spare time, just writing things down, there's a lot of services that they offer locally too. Like you can go to your small business administration services and go and take classes on how to write a business plan. You can see those things online, but you have to get all of that together because nobody is going to invest in something if they can't understand how it's going to make a profit for them. So you have to get those numbers together and you have to also invest because people don't want to invest in you if you don't invest in yourself.

So right now you're saying you don't have the money. Come up with a plan, whatever it is that you have to do to get that money. If you have to do a GoFundMe, if you have to ask people in your family to help contribute, but you need to make sure you have that groundwork laid out because if you're asking someone for money to invest, they want to know what is the return on my investment.

And so that means you have a lot of work to do. You're in the beginning stages of planning this out, but you have to take it seriously. I know you said you work like 70 hours a week. Is there a way that you can spend some more time on what it is that you want to do for yourself to lessen those hours right now? To lessen the hours? No, not really.

Like we're pretty short staffed. So that's why I work so much. Okay. So, I really just, I guess, you know, waking up early. So, that's my issue. So, maybe if I wake up a little bit earlier, I can take that time in the morning to start writing. So... Yes, girl. Fine. If you have vacation days,

you might have to take your vacation days to do that and not go on vacation. Yeah. Even taking a week off to just really focus and plan out. Yes. And if you're interested, I mean, I would love to send you my ideas, maybe an email that I can send you my ideas too. I know a couple of months ago, I heard you talking to somebody that like, yeah, you know, sometimes people don't have a business plan ready, but maybe create a slideshow or something. So I'm willing to do that if you're willing to hear my ideas.

Okay. And listen, just start small. Don't try to do too much too soon. If you can show people this can work, you know, you can actually start small and then let your idea grow because it is going to change. It's not going to be what you think it is in the beginning. So just make sure you get in there and don't put yourself in over your head when it comes to overhead.

Okay. Awesome. Thank you so much. All right, yeah, but send it to me. Send it through to me, okay? Stay on the line. I'll give you my email. All right, you guys.

Have a good day. You too now. Ask E, 800-585-1051. Now we got rumors on the way? Yes. Why is Vogue magazine under fire? It has to do with Kim Kardashian on the cover of the latest issue. All right, we'll get into that next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

So Kim Kardashian is on the cover of the latest issue of Vogue and some people have some issues. They want to know why the former editor, Andre Leon Talley, who recently passed, was not featured and was not on the cover instead. People were posting, so Vogue isn't doing anything special

for Andre Leon Talley. So Vogue thought it was a good idea to feature Kim Kardashian on the cover of the March 2022 issue and not Andre Leon Talley. Well, we know Anna Wintour truly cared for Andre Wright and a little sarcastic face. So people had a problem. How do we know that's not coming though? Like how do we know the March issue? We know the March issue is probably already in the works. So you do the March issue and you do something special for Andre.

Right. So I'm not sure if there is something special about to happen, but if there wasn't, should be now, right? All right. Now in this interview, Kim Kardashian talks about a lot of different things. She talks about her divorce and she said her forties are about being team me. She said for so long, I did what made other people happy. And I think in the last two years, I decided I'm going to make myself happy and that feels really good. And even if that created changes and caused my divorce, I think it's important to be honest with yourself about what really makes you happy. I've chosen myself. I think it's okay to choose you. Always. All right. Now, in addition to that, Kanye

shared a photo collage of that Vogue, some of the pictures that were inside and there's some pictures of the family. And so he posted, God, please bring our family back together. And that was the caption that he puts along those images from that new Vogue cover story. Is it me or it doesn't seem like he's moving like he wants his family to get back together. He's definitely, he has a strange way of showing it. If he does, you can't, you can't slander your wife in public like that, you know, and then say things like you want your family back together.

No God, I want my family back together. No. All right. Now, AJ Johnson has responded to people having issues with her lip service interview. If you didn't see it,

she talked about her experience on her 50th birthday with two men. I believe we had it. You know, when I was with three men, I just did a bad move. Make sure you record him. Make sure you got him recorded. In society, where it'd be like three sim is two men and a woman.

I've only done that. Two men? Two men. It was like they were friends and they traded off. It's the best 50th birthday ever. Oh, yes. Okay? And they traded off, so it was never like them together. Together, okay.

It was like they were flip-flopping me. You know, one would please me, then he'd pass me to the other, and one would kiss me, and then he'd spin me around for the other. Did that feel powerful? It was like a beautiful dance. Oh, my goodness. Like a tennis match. It was like doing salsa with two guys at the same time. Well, a lot of people weighed in after that story

and she did an exclusive with Baller Alert. And here's what she had to say about people being childish. It wasn't even sexual. We were like, you know, three musketeers, as I said. We were actually really friends. And the comfort of the friendship turned intimate and sensual, just a general intimate relationship before it became sexual. When people started saying it was a train, I never said there was penetration. I never said, you know, it's like that, that mind frame is what took over. I said in the interview, it was sensual, it was intimate, it was, you know, I felt very safe.

I said all that. So that don't sound like a train to me. But again, here's the other thing. Call it what you want. All I know was it was the best intimate, sensual relationship I've ever had. And if you want to call it a train, choo-choo. Choo-choo. I love

AJ. Well, it sounds asexual on lip service, but my thing is, why does she have to explain herself? What does it matter? This is her life. This is what she enjoys. Nobody's judging. Just free zone. Would you all please stop explaining yourself to social media? Please say what you said and let it be. Let them discuss amongst themselves. Who cares what them folks think?

What are you doing for your 50th? But AJ's always very open about talking about her life and talking about experience, and she is a life therapy coach so she probably wanted to further explain she was good at it good explanation choo choo alright now Kendrick Lamar

is going to detail the making of to pimp a butterfly on a podcast now and it's on the upcoming season of Spotify's the big hit show podcast so that should be exciting. And that is a Barack Obama back to podcast, by the way. It's produced by Barack and Michelle Obama's Higher Ground Productions, and it's going to be for season two.

That I'm actually going to listen to. Because The Pimple Butterfly is a classic, classic album that you actually will appreciate more than you probably did when it came out back then. That album's so damn black. Drop on the Clues Moms for The Pimple Butterfly. That's actually my favorite Pimp a Butterfly album. All right, and Lil Fizz,

there's a video of him that just leaked. And in this video, there's a video clip of him. People were doing like mushroom emojis and things like that. And so I saw a lot of people had things to say on social media. What'd y'all think? Think about what? Lil fizz's video little fizz put out a video i ain't seen no little fizz video what's the song yeah liars you guys were just saying that you liked it but okay and

i do want to give a shout out to anthony ramos you know anthony ramos uh mv he was in in the heights you love yep yes he he was a star of that and you know him um as well for working on hamilton well he has joined the marvel comic universe so he will be an eye he'll be an iron heart and they said right now it's a secret oh so he'll have a key role in marvel's iron heart series so let's go back to something you said. I ain't hear nothing about Lil' Fizz. I heard an interview in here talking about Isaiah Rashad. I ain't hear nothing about Lil' Fizz. I still didn't see the Isaiah Rashad stuff.

Or did I see Lil' Fizz? There's a cap. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Definitely a cap. There ain't no cap. All right. All right.

We are The Breakfast Club. It's Black History Month. What we doing? Listen man, today my guy B-Dot dropped another episode of I Didn't Know, Maybe You Didn't Neither on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network and we're talking about cowboys and are they racist? Listen.

Welcome to Mr. Dottie's Neighborhood. And we're at the home of one of the most influential saxophonists of all time, John Coltrane, right here in High Point, North Carolina. See, in the 1700s, enslaved people that got to work with the cattle, they got special privileges. Oh they got to use a dance. Yeah, yeah. And they got to ride the horses.

Yah! Yah! Now everybody that worked with the cattle were considered cow hands. But to the gray black folk, they called them cowboys. But then the term cowboys went mainstream and there have been notable black cowboys that have been whitewashed in history. For example, the Lone Ranger. Are you familiar with the Lone Ranger?

He wasn't white, he was black. His name was Bass Reeves. He had a little Native American homeboy that went with him everywhere and he went his whole career without ever getting shot one time. Nat Love. Nat Love was so nice with the pistols that they called him Deadwood Dick with the pistols. That was just a movie that dropped

about notable black cowboys called The Harder They Fall. Look it up. Wonderful film. Because I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either. I didn't know. I didn't know the term cowboy was actually racist But that's not going to stop me from being a Dallas Cowboy fan
