The Breakfast Club - R.I.P Larry King

Episode Date: January 25, 2021

First and foremost we send our condolences to Larry King's friends and family as we have lost a radio/tv icon! However, we were lucky enough to have him stop by the show a few years back, so we ran back the interview for you all to join. Although, one person that may not have enjoyed the interview and certainly not happy about Charlamagne giving him "Donkey of the Day" is Pierce Morgan, who decided to keep his beef with Larry King alive by his narcisstic tribute to him. In fact, we open up the phone lines to see if our listeners think that it is always ok to keep the same energy, no matter what happend to your enemy.

Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water,

500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Listen to Escape from Zaka Stan. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-A-S-T-A-N on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best, and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I can't believe you guys are the best. Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, T-Tambi. Charlamagne Tha God.

Peace to the planet. It's Monday. Yes, it's Monday back to the work week. I think it's the first Monday I've worked all year. Is it? What do you mean? Yeah, because when we got back from vacation, I came back on a Tuesday. I think the next week was Martin Luther King's Junior Day. Maybe I did work on a Monday.

I don't remember. Anyway, good morning. Good morning. next week was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Maybe I did work on a Monday. I don't remember. Anyway, good morning. Good morning. Did everybody enjoy their weekend? Yep. I had a great weekend. I just really relaxed and spent time with the family, watched football with the son, and I had a great weekend.

I feel stupid, though, because I'm taking my son to the Super Bowl this year. I guess it's a yearly thing now. Every year we go to the Super Bowl, so I got tickets to the Super Bowl, but I didn't it's a yearly thing now. Every year we go to the Super Bowl. So I got tickets to the Super Bowl. But I didn't book my flight as of yet. So when I checked the flight on Thursday, flights was like $220. So I was like, I'll wait till Monday. Damn it, man.

Flights are $400 now. They damn near doubled, I guess, after Tom Brady won last night. Why would you wait, though? I don't know, man. It's not like the Super Bowl was moving anywhere. You know what I mean? You knew who it was going to be for a year and some change. I really waited because I didn't know what time his last class was,

so I was trying to leave after his last class, and me waiting for him just cost me $400. Now, what's the social distancing policies at the Super Bowl now? I believe only 30% of the arena will be packed. I doubt that this year because this is the first time ever that a home team is playing in their home arena. I think they're going to squeeze a few more in there. And they're giving 7,500 tickets to healthcare workers, to essential workers. So that's going to be pretty cool.

So I'm excited about that. I'm excited to take them to the game. It's a father and son time of bonding, and we get to watch the game, shoot the air. She's getting older. So that's what I really love about that. I'm excited to take him to the game. It's a father and son time of bonding and we get to watch the game, shoot the air. She's getting older. That's what I really love about it. Hell, it's a father and son Super Bowl. Tom Brady versus Patrick Mahomes. That's what it is.

I'm excited about that. Now, what about your weekend, Yee? This weekend, I was working this weekend, so that's it. now I'm back home you got a buzz you might need to yeah I don't know what that

is that from me let me see yes it's from you it sounds like you know when your cell phone is too close to something and you hear that buzz that's what it sounds like but we know that's not the case so you might just have to disconnect and reconnect that's the beauty of live radio, people. There you have it.

Okay, we're going to work these kinks out in real time. That's right. Well, we got to send, what are we? Yeah, the static is heavy. We're definitely sending positive energy, love, and light to the family of Larry King. Yes. Rest in peace to one of the greatest radio television broadcasters to ever do it. I mean, even saying that, saying he's one of the greatest to ever do it,

is absolutely positively an understatement. Because words can't really quantify how amazing Larry King was. Yeah, I was checking to make sure, but we're going to rerun his interview that he came up here and did with us. Larry King interviewed everybody you could possibly imagine, from Malcolm to Martin. Nelson Mandela. I don't know if he interviewed Martin.

He definitely interviewed Malcolm X. He said Martin, right? No, Malcolm X, Mandela. I don't know if he interviewed Martin. He definitely interviewed Malcolm X. He said Martin, right? No, Malcolm X, Mandela, Rosa Parks. I don't remember him saying Martin. I remember him saying Malcolm. But, you know, we interviewed Larry King twice, if I'm not mistaken. The first time he came was in 2015. That's before we were putting videos on YouTube.

That's when, you know, iHeart was still in the dark ages and putting stuff on the dot com. But it was another time we interviewed him as well. And I've been on his show a couple of times, but yeah. I was watching back his interview from 2015 this weekend and it was a lot of prophetic things were said in there. We're going to get that back on.

And then we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Just trying to make sure my microphone's working. Is that okay now? My mic sounds nice, check one. My mic, come on, how y'all watch Salt-N-Pepa this weekend and y'all ain't got it? My mic sounds nice, check two. That song wasn't even in it.

So, still Salt-N-Pepa? Yeah, you know what I seen over the weekend, too? I seen Wendy Williams' documentary, her show. I watched that, too. That came out? The person they played, the person that played Charlemagne. Oh, you mean the movie? Yes.

Oh, yeah. I saw that I'm in the documentary, too. I didn't sign that release paper. You're definitely in the documentary. Trust me. We on their ass. It's about to be out, out. So you are definitely in the documentary.

No, they got a week to fix it. They know what it is. You are definitely in that doc. All right, but front page news. You ready? Yes, I'm ready. I sound what it is. You a deaf in that dock. All right, but front page news. You ready? Yes, I'm ready. I sound okay? Yep.

Okay. We are going to be talking about what's going on at the Miami Heat games. They are going to allow people to attend the games, but we'll tell you how they're going to make it safer. All right. Let's get some front page news. Now, in sports, Tampa Bay beat the Packers 31-26, and the Chiefs beat the Bills 38-24. Should be a very entertaining Super Bowl. I mean, it's like if Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant ever got to play in the NBA Finals.

That's what it feels like with the Tom Brady versus Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, so the game is February 7th at 6.30 p.m. in Tampa Bay. The first time a home team is going to be playing the Super Bowl at home. I'm just happy that I lived through the Tom Brady era. You know what I'm saying? I'm not a Tom Brady fan by any means, but I respect greatness. You respect him. Absolutely.

You got to respect greatness, man. 43 years old, 10 Super Bowl appearances, six rings. When you think about the degree of difficulty in football, he's arguably the greatest athlete of all time in any sport. In any sport. When you think about the degree of difficulty of football, he might be the GOAT of all time in any sport. All right.

Now, also, Conor McGregor, if you care, got knocked the F out over the weekend. I didn't see the fight. I just seen the memes of him laying there sleeping. Now, what else we got, Yee? At this point, I don't even remember when Conor McGregor was good. I don't. I'm being honest. I don't even remember when was Conor McGregor ever good. I don't remember. I don't know. I just always see him lose in more

recent times. And then we also have to shout out Nia Dennis. She's a viral sensation and once again, she has amazed people for UCLA Gymnastics. So if you haven't had a chance to see her floor routine, make sure you check that out also. Alright, now the Miami Heat is going to be using coronavirus sniffing dogs in order to screen fans at games. So if you haven't had a chance to see her floor routine, make sure you check that out also. All right. Now, the Miami Heat is going to be using coronavirus sniffing dogs in order to screen fans at games. So what they're saying is that these highly trained dogs have been in place for some games this season where they allow a handful of guests, mostly friends and family of players and staff.

And they are planning to let the games have 10 percent of the building's typical capacity. So the attendance will be under 2,000 for now. Therefore, seating will be very limited. But they said these dogs have like a 94% percentage of being right when it comes to coronavirus detection. And if you do have an allergy to dogs and you can't do that, then they'll actually be able to give you the rapid test,

which is less than 45 minutes. And that's embarrassing. Can you imagine going to the game? Damn, that's embarrassing. I mean, coronavirus sniff the game? Whoa! Damn, that's embarrassing. I mean, coronavirus sniffing dogs, I'd just love to hear more. Like, how does that work? And what if they sniffed the wrong virus? Well, what if you're smoking weed right before and you smell like weed?

Can they smell through the weed? Yeah, are they both? Are they canine dogs that can detect narcotics or just viruses? I've heard of this before, though. I forget for what ailment it was, but I've definitely heard of dogs who can smell some type of sickness or disease. I forgot what disease it was.

All right. Yeah, they can even detect cancer. Cancer. That's what it was. That's probably what you're thinking. All right. Now, Breonna Taylor, the grand jurors in that case

have filed an impeachment petition against Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron. So they want him to be impeached over allegations that he mishandled the case, which I think that's pretty clear. According to a statement from their attorney, the grand jurors did not choose this battle. This battle chose them. These are randomly selected citizens who were compelled to sit on a grand jury and were terribly misused by the most powerful law enforcement official in Kentucky. I mean, I'm all for it. I mean, you know, it's been proven that they omitted evidence from

the Breonna Taylor case. They didn't even present the Breonna Taylor case as a murder, right? Mm-hmm. So I'm all for it. Yeah, multiple grand jurors said they were not given the opportunity to deliberate on additional charges outside of wanton endangerment, which is the only thing that one person was actually charged with.

So there you have it. He should go to jail, too. Daniel Cameron? Because he had a response. Yeah, he has a responsibility. And the fact that you hid information, misrepresented information, that should be a crime. I agree. All right.

Well, that is your front page news. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had a great weekend or maybe a weekend was bummed out and you want to just get some things off your chest. Whatever it may be. 800-585-1051.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

I was making a racket 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.

By the wayirline back but I was like, nah. Now why would you do that? And that's a waste. That's messed up. I would tell her

Sandra, if you do want to do anything to that voodoo doll, make my penis bigger. Please. That would really piss me off.

Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Vince from the D. What up, dog? What up, dog? Get it off your chest, bro.

What up, dog? Well, I just wanted to say I'm black, blessed, and highly favored. Quoting my man, Southern Man, in Z. Yes, sir. I had a beautiful baby boy last week. Eight pounds, six pounds, and oh my God,

he's fantastic. I couldn't be happier. I wanted to get a shout out to my beautiful girl, for pushing that big bowling ball and getting me

up out of it. I'm just blessed to be able to witness that. Again, after 14 years on top of all that. Congratulations, King.

Congratulations to you and your queen, man. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Solomon and Guy, Angel, DJ Superspreader. I'm glad to hear y'all back there. DJ Superspreader. Y'all back there working.

Oh, yeah. I tried to call in last time when y'all was jumping down into the heat. But you got old DJ Superspreader over there going to parties in the eight. You know I DJ'd and I quarantined for the amount of time I was supposed to quarantine. That's why I wasn't in last week. It's called following protocol, sir. I tell you what, though. DJ Superspreader at parties in Atlanta sounds wild.

Spreading them cheeks at them parties in Atlanta. I follow the proper protocol, sir. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Omni Rose. Hey, Omni, get it off your chest. Good morning, you guys. I just was calling to provide a little comfort for the Angela Yee situation from

earlier in regards to COVID. Okay. So my four-year-old daughter woke up Christmas morning with a severe sore throat. I rushed her to the emergency room. They checked her for strep. It came out negative. They checked her for COVID. And although I requested a rapid test, they weren't allowed to do it because she wasn't

being admitted. So she didn't get her test back until Tuesday. However, she came back positive. I had family from Maryland down here in Georgia. It was about 10 of us. Everybody had went home, of course. D.C., Maryland, everywhere. We all got tested. All of us were negative. She was the only

one that tested positive. Well, I appreciate that. Hopefully, she's okay. Yeah, she's fine now. Yeah, she's perfectly fine. She literally only had a foot protein. That's amazing. That's good. That's good to hear.

I did test negative twice already, so I feel comfortable. Yes, and I took her back, and she had tested negative. So it just makes me feel like they don't have enough information about this. She slept in a bed with us. She rode in the car with my parents for 12 hours back to Maryland. Everything. All of us tested negative. Yeah, I mean yeah i mean you just know how it affects your body i think everybody's different i know my daughter uh when school first started i think like four months ago three months ago her roommate had covid and she got tested three times and my daughter didn't receive it but this was you know close quarters with with this young lady and

my daughter didn't get it but you know the young, the young girl did, so, I mean, you just never know how it affects the body, you know? Exactly, and then it makes me feel like the vaccine, it cannot be ready, because we still don't know how it's being passed, or why it only gets to people. But that's why,

that's why, even though, like you said, you know, we may not have all the information, but the information we do have, which is quarantining, you know what I'm saying? We gotta follow the protocol, especially if we're around people with no masks on. We just gotta be extra careful because we don't know. And, you know, like you said,

I took her out of the care. I took her out of daycare because that's the only place she's been alone without any of us. And all you can do is do your best, man. Like, do your best to try to avoid it. Yeah.

Okay, well, I just wanted to provide a little comfort on that. Alrighty, mama. I appreciate you. I'm glad your daughter's okay and your family's okay. Yes, thank you. I appreciate that. Alrighty, mama. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up now.

Now, we got rumors on the way? Spinderella has some comments about this Salt-N-Pepa biopic that was out over the weekend, which I'm sure a lot of people watched on Lifetime, so we'll discuss what she has to say in response to not being included. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Spinderella was not too happy about this Salt-N-Pepa biopic that was on Lifetime over the weekend.

She didn't have anything to do with it. Now, when we had Salt-N-Pepa on The Breakfast Club, here is what Salt had to say about their ongoing disputes. There's always been a lot of attempts to compromise, to satisfy on everybody's part. And it just never got to a place where it was what she thought it should be. And so sometimes things come to a head. It's unfortunate. But internally, sometimes things get to a point where you have to part ways. We were Spinderella the best. We're open to whatever can happen in the future. I've reached out to her.

I haven't gotten anything back, you know, but I still, my heart is open. Well, Spinderella took to social medias and said, sorry, sorry, but I got to speak on this lifetime special. Too often black women who have made meaningful contributions in their industry are left out of historical narratives. Back when Salt-N-Pepa was building our legacy, which is rooted in empowering women, I could not have dreamed that this same group would one day disempower me. Words cannot fully express my disappointment when I learned a decision was made

to move forward with a lifetime biopic that wrongfully excluded me from every aspect of development and production, all the while using my image throughout, given that I played an integral role in the group's story and success. There's nothing more unacceptable than a woman being silenced by another woman.

I do, however, want to offer a huge congrats to the talented actresses that represented us including monique paul who i wish would have been given an opportunity to share my true perspective with in reflection i'm grateful i've managed to uphold a 30-year career and she did say that she does have a book on the way she said 30 plus years is a lot of content and i'm ready to share yeah i mean that sucks because spenderella was a very important piece to that group group so she should have had her input involved in the film they didn't make her look bad in the film but they didn't give her any they didn't give her any real looks period like it was even that one part of the movie where they was on the bus and salt and pepper and we're talking and they said something like spartan pepper and spinderella

was like and spin you know yeah i wish you'd have got a chance to you know to share her side and the actress got a chance to talk to her to give her feelings. But, I mean, we don't know the behind the scenes, what happened to her. Yeah, but you got to give her that love if you're Salt-N-Pepa. Fresh Prince, if he's talking about anything Fresh Prince related, has to have Jazzy Jeff. You know, Run DMC would have to have JMJ if Jay was still here. So Salt-N-Pepa needs Cinderella.

But it's interesting because Herbie Lovebug also didn't have anything to do with developing this because they were saying this is really more about Salt-N-Pepa needs Cinderella. But it's interesting because Herbie Lovebug also didn't have anything to do with developing this because they were saying this is really more about Salt-N-Pepa and their friendship with each other and having that group. But I think it would have made it better if the people involved could have had their say. But I guess the story is about their friendship because they were best friends before they formed the group. And there's so much history between them. That's a lot to go through

but yeah herbie lovebug who was very integral in in forming salt and pepper he also didn't have a say yeah i mean the story is about salt and pepper though so that that was the reason why i'm sure all right now let's talk about eminem he premiered his higher video on saturday now a clip had been circulating of him talking about UFC President Dana White before the UFC fight happened on Saturday. This was that clip. I'm a huge Eminem fan, but this is a tough one. It's a tricky demon to conquer, even for someone as badass as Eminem. My prediction is disappointment for fans all over the world. Eminem, what's your response to what Dana just said? I think that people like you give people like me

the fuel that they need to succeed in the first place. So I think that the best part about your opinion is that it doesn't matter. And if every fighter that you had listened to your opinion when you doubted them, you wouldn't have a league. So you're an a**hole, and I'm out. What they talking about, though? Yeah, why was they beefing? Well, they wouldn't have a league. So you're an asshole and I'm out. What they talking about though? Yeah, why was they beefing? Well, they weren't really. This was actually a

preview for a music video for Hire and that then dropped on Saturday on YouTube during that fight. So people thought this was a real clip of Eminem talking ish about Dana White, but it was really part of this music video. Now, in addition to this fight that happened on Saturday, Conor

McGregor got knocked out. That was in the second round. And Floyd Mayweather had some things to say about that. Now he was on social media and somebody said, why is Floyd Mayweather hated for the way he carries himself? But Conor McGregor is loved for the same way he carries himself. Let's hear your thoughts. And Floyd responded, I seen this post and my take on it is that the world knows con artist McLoser can steal everything from me and be loved, but I'm hated. This just lets you know that racism still exists. Just know that bum will never be me or be on my level. I'm just built different. My mindset is on another planet. My skills are second to none. I'm a natural born winner. And yes, I talk a lot of trash, but every time I back it up, this is what they hate. It's

sad that you could be a poor black kid from the ghetto that has dealt with racism your whole life and work extremely hard to put yourself and your family in a better position. And most of the hate comes from my own people. Yeah, I just don't remember when Conor McGregor was good. I'm not a UFC watcher, though. So, you know, by the time I started tuning in to UFC, he was just getting his ass kicked every time I seen him. Do people like him, though? I guess, clearly.

He's still a draw, right? You watch UFC, don't you, Drummers? Yeah, here and there. He's, clearly. He's still a draw, right? You watch UFC, don't you, Drummers? Yeah, here and there. He's a draw. He's clearly a draw. But is he a draw because people like him, or do they want to see him lose and get beat up? No, I think people like him.

He stopped doing some of the trash talk and stuff. It's like over the last couple of years, he kind of fell off. I wouldn't talk trash either if I kept getting my ass kicked. After a while, you got to shut up. He is still planning to fight. Here's what he said. Goodness gracious. This sport is so much better with you in it.

Are you telling us that we're going to see you in 2021 in the next few months? Of course. I need activity, guys. Come on. You just, you don't get away with being inactive in this business and that's the way it is. So, ah, it's a tough one to swallow. I put in a lot of work. I'm proud of me work. You know, I'd like, I would have liked to represent me team a bit better. We'll get to go again and that's it.

His family got something to chill out. I don't care. All right. I don't care what he does. That is your rumor report. Knock yourself out, Conor. Literally, right? All right.

We got front page news next. What are we talking about? Yes, somebody won over a billion dollars in the Mega Millions. Somebody won? Yes, man. You don't be paying

attention to signs. You be damn near about to wreck when you be driving and you see that thing then drop down to $20 million. You're like, let me check my goddamn ticket. Damn. Let's get in some front page news. Now, sports over the weekend.

The Buccaneers beat the Packers 31-26. The Chiefs beat the Bills 38-24. Should be a very entertaining Super Bowl. That's right. February 7th at 6.30 p.m. in Tampa. So it should be exciting. Now, what else you got, Yee? Well, let's talk about that Mega Millions.

Somebody did buy the winning ticket for the $1.05 billion Mega Millions jackpot. It is the third largest lottery prize in history in the United States. And that person is in Michigan. So one person won it? Yes. The winning ticket was purchased at a Kroger store in Novi in the Detroit suburbs. So

shout out to Detroit. By the way, my store private label is open, so whoever bought that ticket, feel free to come by, buy some hair, whatever you need to buy. But yes. That ain't fair Powerball. Powerball, when the Powerball is that big, y'all gotta spread that wealth out amongst a few people, man. You know, rig the goddamn machines so the winning number comes up

at least three or four times. What one person going to do with all that money? That might have been somebody's number he's been playing all his life, or it could have been a quick pick. What's the number? What was the number, Yeet? Do you know? Why do you just matter? It's not your ticket. I'm going to see if I win. Yeah, you didn't win. I might have won $4. It is 4, 26, 42, 50, and 60 with a mega ball

of 24. I had all those numbers. It's not in that order. I did. I got the power ball 24, so that's $4. I had a 4 and 1 number, a 26 and another number. It don't work like that, bro. I know. It don't work like that. Now, let me ask you this.

If you won, would you want to claim it right away? Because they're saying that the winning ticket holder might hold on to the ticket for a little while, get their affairs in order, put together a financial plan, and then reach out? Or would you try to say, I got to get it right i felt like i gotta do it right away no i don't want to lose the ticket i don't want nothing crazy to happen i gotta claim it immediately no i gotta talk to a financial advisor because it's that uh person earth you know irs that is right there waiting so i'm gonna just try to uh make sure i do it right if even if i gotta put it in the llc so nobody knows it's me that won that ticket because you become an instant target. Well, number one, I'm sure all of us

already have financial advisors, right? I would hope so. And then number two, it depends on if you can remain anonymous in that state or not. That's what it would determine on for me. If I can remain anonymous in the state, I'm going to get it right away. If not, I would wait a little while.

I might have to claim it first and then get everything in order right after because I don't know. I feel like I'll be so nervous that somebody might get the ticket from me or find out I might lose it. Anything could happen. I'll be scared. Yeah, I would go collect that money right away, to be honest with you. It depends on the state.

Eh, it's whatever. Even when I have a gift card, I try to spend it right away because I'd be so nervous I'm going to lose my gift card. I'm like, I got to use this now. All right. Now, five people. This is a really tragic story, including a pregnant woman were killed in a shooting in Indianapolis. It's their largest mass casualty shooting in more than a decade. So this happened on Sunday.

There was an early morning shooting on the northeast side, and the mayor is calling it a mass murder. They're not sure exactly what happened, but they did say it does feel like something targeted. So they said there was some information that after they found a juvenile male with apparent gunshot wounds, then it led them to another residence less than a block away where they found five people, including a pregnant woman dead with apparent gunshot wounds. So despite they said the best life saving efforts provided by medical staff, both the female and the unborn child did not survive. How tragic is that? They say injuries, but they do not have any named suspects related to the shootings,

but they believe that more than one shooter could have been involved also. That's horrible. We do want to give our condolences. That is a really tragic situation. I don't even know what to say when situations like that happen anymore. What do you do? It feels like sending condolences isn't even strong enough.

You know what I mean? You can send positive energy, love, and healing energy to the families, but Lord have mercy. How do you slow that down? How do you prevent stuff like that from happening? Who knows? Our president, our new president, Joe Biden, has a very busy week of executive action. So what you need to know today is by American day, he's expected to sign one executive order, directing agencies to strengthen requirements for procuring goods and

services from sources that support us businesses and workers tomorrow. The focus is equity. And there's a list of executive orders that will create a policing commission and reinstate Obama era policy on the transfer of military style equipment to local law enforcement. How you feel about that? I think that's great. But I mean, he's he's got to go farther than that. I mean, listen, they got the Oval Office. They got the Senate. He's doing executive orders. After what we saw last summer, they campaigned on, you know, the racial injustice that was going on in our country.

They campaigned on, you know, the fact that police, you know, killed the George Floyd and Breonna Taylor's and Amada, not Amada, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd's of the world. So like, listen, they have to really go far. To deliver. Yeah, the George Floyd Policing Act. Where that's at. All right.

Also, tomorrow, establishing steps to improve prison conditions and eliminate the use of private prisons and also disavow discrimination against the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, which comes particularly in light of rhetoric around COVID-19, that pandemic. Wednesday is the climate crisis coming into view, and they're going to be doing a memorandum on scientific integrity. Thursday, health care is the theme.

Friday, they're centering on immigration. So that is it. And the impeachment trial date has been set that it starts to that is scheduled to start February 9th. And so that is still moving forward. I just felt like the low hanging fruit would be decriminalizing, you know, marijuana

which they should just legalize it. And I also thought, you know, the George Floyd Policing Act would, I mean, I know it's only been a few days, but still, I feel like all of that stuff. Those are things that they actually campaigned on. Those are things that should get done first, I would think. Right. Yeah.

So we should have some questions about when is that being addressed? Oh, they're on the clock. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are definitely on the clock. They're on the clock. That is your front page news. All right. Now, when we come back, rest in peace to Larry King. He passed away over the weekend.

And he was here twice, right? He was here twice. He came in 2015. That's before we were putting videos on YouTube. I feel like he came back after that as well. He didn't? He's only been here once? Are you sure?

Yeah, I don't remember him being here twice. I remember one interview. I might be wrong. I've done his show twice. I did his show for my don't remember him being here twice. I remember one interview. I might be wrong. I've done his show twice. I did his show for my first book, Black Privilege, and I did his show for my second book, Shook on Anxiety, Playing Tricks on Me. But I thought Larry King came here twice, but he definitely was here in 2015. All right, well, we're

going to get that interview back on, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.

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.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Got a special guest in here from Brooklyn, New York. The legend. The legend.

The man. He's not a rapper, though. He said the man. He's not a rapper. Larry King, ladies and gentlemen. Hey, good morning to the Breakfast Club. Good morning. I don't see any breakfast.

Everybody says that. Everybody says that. And you know what's crazy? Our producer is a chef. We've been here for almost see any breakfast. Everybody says that. Everybody says that. And you know what's crazy? Our producer's a chef. We've been here for almost five years. He's never brought no dishes in here ever. So this is a live breakfast club.

It's a farce. The whole thing is based on lies. It's a farce. But I have coffee. Yeah, we do have coffee. And water. That's all you can hear. The inmates took over the asylum in Radio Wynn. I come in here and there's eight radio stations here.

Yeah. Even WOR, which used to carry my old show when I was on Mutual. How did that all happen? There's this thing called iHeart Media. Oh, iHeart. That was... It used to be Clear Channel. Clear Channel.

They just bought everything up. Yeah, I know. That's out of San Antonio, right? Yes, sir. Yeah, see, I noticed. I remember that. Ran by a guy named Bob Pittman. I know Bob Pittman very well well he's the big boss and they switched to i heart meaning like all of you

guys have heart i think it's like i love media i love radio i love television i feel like we're being interviewed yeah yeah that's what i do but that's your thing though you're an interviewer so it's hard it's very hard. I understand it. I go with the flow. But it just hit me because I've been in radio television 58 years. Let's start with Larry King. King is not the original name, right? No, my name was Ziger.

And all I wanted my whole life was to be in broadcast. I just wanted to be on the radio. And I was five years old. And then I'd get odd jobs. I didn't go to college. And I got out of high school. My father died when I was nine. So I got a bunch of odd jobs here in New York.

Grew up in Brooklyn. Went to Dodger games and worked for United Apostles, Service, Hearns, Department Store. Let me tell you, young Ducks, when you were growing up in Brooklyn, the Dodgers played in Brooklyn. Yeah, the Brooklyn Dodgers. This guy named Jackie Robinson, you may be familiar with. I was in his first game.

Wow. And I interviewed him twice. Really? Once in 1960 and then once about three months before he died. How did you feel at his first game? Were you one of those people that were against it? Oh, what are you kidding? Against it?

We were all for it in Brooklyn. We loved him. Gotcha. But anyway, so I knocked around a whole bunch of odd jobs, and somebody suggested I go down to Miami. Never a bad idea. I knocked on doors, and of odd jobs, and somebody suggested I go down to Miami. Never a bad idea. Knocked on doors, and a small station there hired me. And I got my first job.

It was May 1, 1957. And I was about to go on the air, and the guy said, well, what name are you going to use? And I said, well, my name is Larry Zagre. He said, no, that won't go. Of course, people won't know how to spell it mm-hmm little ethnic little ethnic right so why not Larry Z Larry Z that would be now okay Larry the Z okay but he had an ad open in the Miami Herald for King's wholesale liquors and said, why not Larry King? And I said... Better than Larry Liquor. You could have been Larry Liquor.

If you were doing like porn radio. Could you imagine if it was BJ's and Larry BJ's? Anyways, Larry King. So I sat in the studio and I had Les Elgort swinging down the lane was my theme song. I was so nervous, man. Because remember, this is my lifetime

wish. I'm 22 years old and since five, I wanted to be on the radio. And, this is my lifetime wish. Right. I'm 22 years old. And since five, I wanted to be on the radio. Right. And now here's my big chance. $50 a week. I was on from 9 to 12. And I did sports and news.

You did everything. Mm-hmm. Small station. And the music started to play. And I faded the record. Mm-hmm. And nothing came out. Oh. And I brought the record back up.

And nothing came out. Nothing. That's right. I was scared to death. And the general manager kicked open the door to the studio. And he said, damn it! This is a communications

business. Communicate! So he shut the door. And I did something then that I would do today. I was just honest. And I turned the record down and I said, good morning, my name is Larry King that's the first time I've ever said that I've just been given that name and this is my first day on the air and I'm scared to death and I wanted this all my life I told the audience the truth and you can

never go wrong when you tell the truth absolutely so for hours that morning, if I miscued a record or I goofed up on a commercial, they're saying it's his first day. So they were in my corner by taking them into my corner. I was never nervous again. 58 years later, I've done comedy, I've done on stage,

I've done stand-up, I've done interviews, I've seen around the world, I've done radio, television, podcasts, FM, news, everything. I've never been nervous since that first day because I learned something that first day. There's no secret. There's no secret. Just be yourself.

Be yourself. If it works, it works. You can't make the audience. If the audience listening now didn't like The Breakfast Club, there's nothing you can do to make them like it. I agree. I totally agree with that. All you can do is be yourself. If it works, it works. It ain't brain surgery. Not at all.

I've been doing this a long time. I've interviewed people like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Frank Sinatra, seven presidents, world leaders. I've done speaking tours in South Africa and Moscow. Who was your favorite?

Who was your favorite interview? Boy, I can't pick out one. Sinatra maybe because he was hard to get and he didn't do interviews. And that was like a big thrill. But I never had a favorite. I have so many, you know. I've done 60,000 interviews. Wow.

So I'm just happy to learn things. Malcolm X was one of my favorites. Mandela was just a great guy. When I was in South Africa, I went to his house, and he wore suspenders in my honor. I have suspenders on now, but I'm freezing to death. So I'm wearing a sweater. What's going on here?

It's freezing. In here in particular? In the city. In New York. Not in here. Why are you wrapped up? I'm always cold in here. I think it's freezing.

I read that you want to freeze your body when you die. I just taped Dr. Oz yesterday, and he showed me what happens when they do that, and it makes a lot of sense to me. I don't believe that I'm going anywhere. I'm not religious. So I believe that when you die, you die, and that's it. So I'm so curious, and I like living, and so I want one little chance. So if I'm frozen, and then they find a cure for whatever I died of,

and they can cure me, is that better than laying in the ground or being burnt? And then they find a cure for whatever I died of. Is that better than laying in the ground or being burnt while you're dead? Those two ways you can't get out. My wife says to me, yeah, but what if you wake up 200 years later? You don't know anybody. I said, I'll make new friends. I think you'll be fine. That's what I like. So it's the one way grab at eternity to live.

Because I don't want to not exist. Right. I think it's the biggest fear people have. I think they may say they don't. You know, I know I'm going somewhere. You don't know. So are you an atheist or you just don't believe in religion, organized religion? I'm probably an atheist.

I respect religion. I've interviewed every great religious leader except the Pope. I'm probably an atheist. I respect religion. I've interviewed every great religious leader except the Pope. I don't buy it. I think the only reason for religion is death. If you didn't die, there'd be no religion. What turns you away from it? Probably not getting answers to questions.

The simple answer you get all the time is when you ask, why does a baby die why is there a Holocaust mm-hmm I think that because he God gave human beings free will yeah well you didn't get free will for Katrina mm-hmm so I so I asked those questions you know why did God allow Katrina and people got swept up and died and they always the answer is, we do not question the ways of the Lord. Well, I do question the ways of the Lord. Especially an interviewer like you. And if I don't get answers,

if I don't get answers... You don't believe. I question it. Someone asks, well, what if you could interview God? What would be the first question? Do you have a son? Now, you mentioned your? If he would say

no, chaos throughout the Christian world. Now you mentioned your wife. You were married seven, eight times? Seven. One, one, twice. One, twice. Why not go for eight? He's married now. I'm married 18 years now. I've got

my wife's much younger. We have two young boys. In fact, people see me and my wife, you know. I'm 81. And people see us and I know what they're thinking. How old is she? She's 55. So that's 26 years. So I know what they're thinking.

They look at me, they look at her. So I always say the same thing. That's not what I would think. I think like, wow, Larry's penis is still getting hot. No, what I say, if she dies, she dies. Yeah. You get another girl. That's easy to say when you've had eight wives. Life goes on.

I don't regret any of it. I've had three grown children. I've had a hell of a life, man. I mean, from the little five-year-old kid in Brooklyn who wanted to be on the radio, to be seen all over the world, to get a lifetime achievement from the Emmys. Peabody Awards. Peabody Awards. I can't.

So I really, I pinch myself every day. I consider a lot of it lucky. I mean, you have to be good. I know I'm good at what I do, but there's luck involved, too. When did you realize you were a good interviewer? When I started, I was doing a show at a restaurant in Miami Beach. I was 23. And Bobby Darin, the great Bobby Darin, walked in.

And then Jimmy Hoffa came in. And I didn't prepare for him because I didn't know they were coming. Right. And I got to love that. I got to love asking questions but I could if I look back long enough I was asking questions when I was nine years old I you know I get on a bus why do you want to drive a bus I'd say to the bus driver what do you get out of driving a bus so I naturally went into it as we started here today I started by asking what is it with so many radios?

Right, absolutely. What do you do? Why do you call yourself the breakfast club? There's no breakfast. Those are things that are constantly on my mind. And what made me good at what I did was I asked simple questions. It was one word, two, one sentence questions. Why is a great question.

When I was a kid, when I first got to Miami Mm-hmm. I got I wore at $11 in my pocket. I stay with my uncle first thing I saw was a two water fountains and one said white and one said colored and I drank out of the colored water fountain. It was very good. By the way, it's cold You thought it was gonna be cool. So I saw Why are there two then i got up on a bus to go from miami over to miami beach and i sat in the back of the bus and the bus driver stopped the bus and said move forward because the back of the bus is for colors and the front of the bus is

for whites and i said why and i still have never got an answer to that question because why should pigment mean anything right so i never got an answer you that question. Because why should pigment mean anything? Right. So I never got an answer. You asked me that when I was on your show, Larry King, now you're like, why do people hate on other people for the color of their skin?

I'm like, I really don't know. I don't know why, so all prejudice. I don't know why I'm heterosexual. For example, I like women, but I don't know why I like women. I didn't choose it. In other words, I didn't get up one day at age 11 and say, you know, I think I like women. So why would someone get up one day and say, I think I like men, right? You don't know why. It's probably

a gene. It's probably something. No one knows why they are what they are. So why be against it? Why, you know, why be against it if you don't know why? Also, as Ross Perot told me, the South was economically stupid. I mean, they'd build a building and they'd have to build two bathrooms for men instead of one. Idiotic. If they didn't educate their black citizens, how could they expect them to thrive economically? So that's why your lowest economic states are the Mississippis and Alabamas. Because they didn't bring, so you lose. Segregation is idiotic financially.

Forget morally. It's idiotic financially. Right. It's idiotic. Put it like that. Absolutely right. You actually marched in Miami. I did.

So the beaches could be segregated. Yeah, we integrated the beaches. Integrated them. I was like, what? So black people could be on the beach. Black people couldn't be on the beach. Do you know how bad it was? I mean, in our lifetime, in 1963, if Sammy Davis swam in a pool in Las Vegas where he was entertaining

They emptied the pool and refilled it Wow Sammy Davis is loved as he was at the time They emptied the pool that's crazy. Could you I mean you it's hard to believe that Harry Belafonte integrated the Hilton Hotel in Miami Beach in 1965 the black entertainers would play on Miami Beach and then they would be put in a very nice hotel in the black area in Miami. And Harry Belafonte, who I love to this day, I was there when he was checking in. He's going to open that night. And they said, oh, Mr. Belafonte, we've got to have you. And your hotel is across the bay on the other side. And he said, why? I said, well, that's where our Negro entertainers stay. And he says, where I play is where I stay.

And they checked him in. And then he said, and my troupe also has to stay where we play. And he had 12 black singers behind him. And they integrated that hotel. How long did it take you all to get the beaches integrated after the march? Oh, he did that quickly. Once you start a movement, you can't stop a movement. Once, I knew Martin Luther King very well.

He was so spot on. Once you start to show people, when I could put you on television and show a black man merely walking across a bridge, and they hit him over the head the average guy looking at that and the children why there is no answer it's just stupid right so the more you see that and then now you have gay marriage because your people start to say it ain't my business you know what what do you care what do i care everybody should everybody should be allowed to get married and be miserable.

Now, can I ask your opinion on something that's happening now with Brian Williams? I feel so sorry about that. I like Brian. And I don't know what it is. Why people do things for self-aggrandizement. Did Brian Williams have to say he was in a helicopter? No. He don't have to be in the action. I don't turn on the news to hear you be a part of the action.

I don't know what that means. Yeah, me neither. But he's been suspended and... It'd be hard for him to come back. Nobody's perfect and everybody has done things. Everybody has something in the closet. There's something about you that you wouldn't want, no.

I think I know. Uh-oh. Come on, Mr. King. Tell us. Just tell no we we actually go way back let's not oh she's kidding no i'm kidding i'm kidding see but you can do that on radio question now the whole audience is thinking like what yeah nice seeing you again. In this decade. I had nothing to do with that, you know. Why are you getting nervous? Don't tell anybody. This is just, you know.

See that little nervous laugh? You were always that way. Larry King, I have to ask you about social media and how it affects everything today. Being that obviously you've had so much experience. I'm on the internet now every day on Hulu. You be tweeting. You tweet. Yeah, I tweet. I got 2,800,000 followers.

Do girls hit you up on DMs and stuff like that? You ever been in a chick's DMs, Larry? What's a DM? Direct message. That's a private message. No, I dictate my tweets. I don't type them out. I don't text.

In fact, here's my phone. I Fact is my phone. I have It's Come on now you Somebody send this guy phone until I like it. You can't even send a penis pic on that. It's a phone I can put it against my ear to I find that people with iPhones, my children and others, it controls them. I agree. I was a smoker. I wound up having a heart attack. And when I look back, the cigarette controlled me. And I look at people with iPhones. I go to dinner with some guys where they're not there with me. I like to communicate verbally, maybe because that's the way I was

raised and was doing it all my life. Text is a cop-out to me. I can see you're in an emergency situation, but why text when you can call? Absolutely. Do you have any guests that don't like you? I guess. I read a story about how you pissed off Seinfeld one time. He said he didn't mean it.

I'm friendly with Jerry. In fact, he says that I started Twitter with my old column in USA Today. But Jerry was on the show, and I asked him, why did Seinfeld go off the air? No, that's not what you said. You said, is his show canceled? I didn't say show canceled. Oh. You made that up, Charlie.

Well, guys who wear jeans like that make up for it. No, I said, was your show canceled? I didn't know that he just, and he said, we were number one. He got a little tiffed. So he says, you know, he took offense to it. And then he later said he was kidding, but I don't think he was kidding. But I love Seinfeld. By the way, I watch probably more Seinfelds than any other show.

Because Larry David, who conceived it, is a genius. Y'all look like y'all could be related in some way. You and Larry David. Because we're both named Larry. And you wear glasses. There's just a demeanor about y'all. Y'all look like y'all could be related. Y'all from the same tribe, as we say.

Wait a minute. I take that as a little bit of a put down i'll tell you why why two guys named larry both wear glasses same tribe are you discussing perhaps the hebrew faith oh what did you mean by tribe oh and tribe is like when you look like somebody. They say you're from the same tribe. For me, Tyrese would be my tribe. Young Jeezy. Do you know these people? No.

They're all black with bald heads. Oh, I see. So it's a compliment in a sense. Yeah. If the person looks handsome. I see. I didn't mean... If you think Larry David's handsome, it's a compliment.

Well, I don't take it as a compliment. But Charlamagne and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are from the same tribe. Yeah, exactly. Me, Young Jeezy, a guy named Neo,

and Jada Kiss, we're the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The world got so hip. See, to me, hip, Frank Sinatra. Now, I hear a lot of the young singers say, I got nothing against him.

My kids listen to him. I drive in against him. My kids listen to him. I drive in the car and my kids are listening to music. I don't know one word they're saying. Ask them who Young Thug is when you get home. Ask your kids, say, who is Young Thug? I interview a lot of these hips. You haven't interviewed Young Thug yet. Please, Jared, don't make that happen.

Well, rappers seem to like you. Everybody seems to like you. I don't know why. These hip-hop people come on, these rappers. Hey, we love you, Larry. Why? I'm not speaking their language. But I interview.

I forget their names. They go so fast. Do you remember the Chris Brown interview? That was big in our world. Oh, boy. Remember that one when he had the bow tie on? Yeah. He wouldn't give me real answers.

It was... Oh. See? Turn the lights on. Now, in our world, when the lights go out like that, somebody gets stabbed. You got to run. Yeah, you got to run. Okay. In our world, when the lights go now in our world when the lights go out like that somebody gets stabbed you gotta run when the lights go on in the studio you run now Chris wouldn't give you real answers

the lights went on I thought there'd be one less person here am I in the hood now you're in the hood now I feel so hip it was his first interview after the whole Rihanna thing. And they put up pictures of her. And he was on with his mother. And I felt kind of sorry for him.

Yet I'm told, because I'm not an expert in that area of music, that he's a brilliant artist. He's very good. He's good. He's a great artist. He's good. One of the best. Can dance his ass off. Now, you're still very active.

You work a lot. I do. I like work. Do you ever see yourself, like, retiring, retiring? I don't know what I do. I really don't. Retire to what? Yeah.

I wouldn't know what I would do. I thought I could retire, but I couldn't. I don't understand people who don't go to work. Why did you leave CNN? Did you just get tired of everything? Well, I always just had three, four-year contracts. And the last time they came to me was a one-year contract. And I saw the writing on the wall.

And I guess they just wanted to go another direction. That was a terrible direction. That guy is something. Yeah, that didn't work out too well for them. Here's Morgan. I didn't like his style. I don't know what. Now they have a different thing on every night at 9.

You know, I always wondered, because you said you want to be frozen, and you made the joke about 200 years later, if you woke up, you'd make new friends. And, like, my grandmother was, like, the oldest of all her brothers and sisters, and she outlived, like, her mom and her father, everybody, all her, you know, her brothers, sisters, everybody. So how does it feel to, like, outlive people you've interviewed and things like that? It's weird. Yeah.

Yeah. A sinatra said to me once, the toughest part of aging is your friends die. So far, I've been a little lucky. My best friend's wife died. But I have four or five, six friends, all of whom are around my age, are still living. Good. And we grew up together. Oh, that's great.

But I think about dying. I worry about it because you can't do anything about it. You can't do anything about it. But then you also appreciate what a great life you've had. Yeah, I know, but that doesn't work all the time. Yeah, it doesn't. How do you want to be remembered? Because you've been on air when so many great people have died,

and you see how the world stops in the memorials. I think I want to be remembered? Because you've been on air when so many great people have died, and you see how the world stops in the memorials. I think I want to be remembered as someone who informed. I made the world a little bit better by learning a lot of things about a lot of people, and I made people laugh, and I communicated well,

and I know that when you communicate on a daily basis, like people listening to the show, if you guys are on for a long time, how long has the show been on? Um, it'd be five years. Let's say you go on, you're on 10 years.

There are people out there and you have no idea of the magnitude that you're in their lives. And they wake up in the morning and they want to hear that breakfast club and you become part of their lives. And all you're doing is just being you but you're attached to these people and it's a great feeling that they have that feeling for you that's why people get so sad when well-known people die through their gift they've entertained you so I'd like to say that I entertained people and I informed, hey, is this a funeral?

No. What are we doing? I'm starting to get depressed. They might use it later. But no, it's not a funeral. Tell them he's got a weird sense of humor. We appreciate you joining us. Some people find him offensive.

Don't bring us up again. Okay, I'm good again it was one night why do you keep reminding me you still get it in sexually though right well you need help I had prostate cancer so I had radiation

but you know something you go on living that's kind of a personal question I'm looking forward to being 81 years old. Backshot to missionary. You got any other questions? I told you this last time I saw you. I want my brain and my penis to work when I get 80-something. And by the way, they are connected.

Yes. Well, ladies and gentlemen, Larry King, we appreciate you joining us today. Thank you, guys. Mr. King, thank you for coming. Great being with you on The Breakfast Club. Hey, there you have it. It's Larry King. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk versus. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Well, Keisha Cole revealed the reason why she was late to Versus and she did apologize for being late. Here's what she had to say. No, it was a lot of people. They said it was the highest rated Versus or whatever, which I really do appreciate. I was like nervous about that, to say the least. But more so than anything, I want to apologize for not sitting my ass in that seat. Okay? Because I was there

and I should have sat down. No matter if I felt like the visual wasn't clear or, you know, they said my music wasn't going to be right or whatever it was, you know what I'm saying? I think that more so than anything, people wanted me to be present. First of all, I thoroughly enjoyed the Jeezy.

I mean, what did I say? The Keisha Cole and Ashanti versus. But they weren't higher than Gucci and Jeezy or Brandy and Monica, were they? I know Brandy and Monica was the highest, and then Gucci and Jeezy broke that. Ashanti and Keisha Cole was higher than that? I know they were high. I don't think they beat Jeezy and Gucci, honestly. I saw them at about 1.1 million when I was on there, so I'm not sure.

But I also saw on the Shade Room that Keisha Cole tested positive for COVID as well before the verses went down. Really? And had all those people in there? Because I've seen OT. Well, no, I think it was like nine days beforehand. Oh, okay, nine days before.

Yeah, something like that. So that was also something that happened. So we know there were a lot of delays, but they finally had to get it going. All right, now, also during that versus, we saw that 21 Savage was enjoying himself greatly, listening to some music. And here is what 21 Savage sounded like watching the battle. How you get that damn jeans out there?

How you do that? 21 just be living his life, man. Drop on a Clues Bond for 21 Savage, baby. Just be out here enjoying yourself. It looks like he could be working and collaborating with Missy Elliott sometime in the near future. A fan asked Missy what she want to work, and she said most def, so I think that'd be a nice collaboration

to happen. Now, Swizz Beatz is talking about some other battles he wants to see go down on Versus. He was on ESPN's Jalen and Jacoby, and he discussed who he thinks would be a great battle. I want to try to figure out how to do Pac and Biggie and the way that the people are going.

Really love it. I got you on that. I got the idea. I'm going to call you later. But not even that. We got to go Prince and Michael Jackson. That too. Oh, holograms?

Is we going holograms? I got a couple of ideas. I've just been working. I'm going to text you. Do we want that? I think that'd be cool. Jalen roasted that very excited noise in the background. I think that'd be cool.

I mean, because I don't know how you would do it, because you would probably have to get Big's DJ, right? So it'd have to be Mr. C or DJ enough. But Pac didn't necessarily have a DJ I could think of. A Biggie and Pac versus just seems strange, being that they both got taken out. You know what I mean? Like, you know,

how do you make that a true celebration? Their music lives on, though. You know? Well, Swizz and Timberlands think there is a way that they could preserve their respective legacies

but also celebrate their catalogs in a non-confrontational way. Yeah, I think Swizz and Tim could absolutely pull it off. I think about social media, though. Like, do I really want to see people going back and forth about Biggie and Pac?

They do now though. I know, but the way that they went out, I just think it would be really, really, really strange. Because it's giving flowers though, and they both have catalogs. I think that'd be great. 20 joints, I think that'd be amazing. I'd be there for it. Why not just do Bad Boy Death Row? Then you can have Diddy and Dre

go at it. That'd be more of a celebration I would, then you can have like Diddy and Dre go at it. That'd be more of a celebration, I would think. I think they've been trying that. I think that would be great too. Even though Dre's not necessarily, well, Dre is not necessarily death row, but you know,

he built that. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to?

You know, I want to talk about this for after the hour because I'm a little torn on this. You know what I mean? I'm giving Piers Morgan donkey of the day, right? Mm-hmm. But then I also have to ask the question, is he wrong?

Okay. You know what I mean? Timing was poor, but was he wrong for what he said? We'll talk about it for after the hour. All right. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

This don't be a donkey because right now you want some real donkey. It's time for Club. Good morning. This don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Debbie? Absolutely. I have become Donkey of the Day. It's the Breakfast Club, bitches. You're a donkey.

Yes. Donkey of the Day for Monday, January 25th goes to Piers Morgan. Okay, listen, I'm really confused about this one because I'm such a fan of honesty. Even if I don't agree with what you're being honest about, I love when humans keep that same energy, okay? See, we all have these protocols, all these ways we are taught we are supposed to act when certain things happen. But what if that's not how I really feel?

My therapist tells me to feel my feels. Whatever emotions I'm feeling at the time, allow yourself to feel them. But I don't think those feelings are meant for someone else to feel, especially if how you feel may cause someone else pain. Well, Piers Morgan didn't think about that this weekend because I'm sure this weekend the family of Larry King was grieving because if you haven't heard, Larry King passed away this weekend at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after being diagnosed with COVID-19 in late December.

Now, you know what happens when people pass away in this era. Social media mourns. A lot of digital tributes happen via tweets, Instagram posts, etc. And Piers Morgan was one of those people who decided to do a tweet. Now, once again, I'm torn about this tweet because it doesn't feel right because of the timing. But the honesty of it, I have to respect. Piers tweeted out a picture of him and Larry King with the caption, Larry King was a hero of mine until we fell out after I replaced him at CNN.

And he said, my show was like watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Bentley. Then in parentheses, Piers Morgan put, he, meaning Larry King, married eight times, so a mother-in-law expert. But he was a brilliant broadcaster and masterful TV interview. Now, here's the thing. Do I think it was in poor taste? Yes. Do I think the timing of it was off yes even if I felt that way about a person would I share it not right after they died okay maybe later some years later when I'm telling my story in a book or documentary and that part of my life comes up I may tell that story but to tweet it right after a person dies it is extremely

tone deaf like read the room, Pierce. Okay, folks are mourning, grieving. Think about the family, friends, and folks who loved Larry. All of that would have been going through my mind as I fixed my thumbs to make that tweet. Okay, folks who loved Larry already dealing with hurt because of the death of Larry King. Now they got someone to aim that hurt at. Hey, Pierce, I can't act like you didn't earn it if they give you some wrath. Okay, because you had to know that tweeting that was going to cause some backlash.

Now, here's where I'm torn. I don't necessarily know if what he said was wrong, okay? That's how he feels. That's the story he's been telling for the longest. The story isn't going to change now that the great Larry King is dead. But where I think he's wrong at, poor timing. Like, bro, Larry King just died. How did Larry King just die and you find a way, okay, anyway, to make his death about you? Okay, like, Piers, you really made this about yourself. You started

off great. Larry King was a hero of mine. He even ended it great. He was a brilliant broadcaster and masterful TV interviewer. Those are two amazing pieces of Wonder Bread right there. I mean, they are soft, no mold on them, but you didn't put the right ingredients in between those two pieces of Wonder Bread. Okay, it's all types of fillings you could have chosen. Turkey and cheese, peanut butter and jelly, a simple grilled cheese, my personal favorite, tuna fish. You could have put spaghetti in there,

but instead you chose to put in between those two great slices of Wonder Bread the worst fillings you could find. Mayonnaise, tomatoes, and mustard. Who wants a mayonnaise, tomato, and mustard sandwich? Rice and prawns. Who wants a rice and prawn sandwich? You could have talked about the impact he had on you as a broadcaster, TV personality, talk about the fact if it wasn't for him,

you wouldn't even have had that gig at CNN because you replaced Larry on a show that he built. Those would have been good feelings. Okay? I don't know. I can't tell you what to say. Okay? I can't tell you what to do because I'm not you.

But Larry King did tell me once that the most important question to ask in a conversation was why. That's what I would like to know. Why? conversation was why that's what i would like to know why we have to not only ask that question of others but to ourselves a simple why we usually keep you from doing digital d head stuff like this if you would have simply asked yourself why am i tweeting this why am i tweeting this right now why do i need to make this statement at this moment? If you would have took Larry King's advice and simply asked yourself why, I wouldn't be telling Dramos right now to let Remy Ma give Piers Morgan the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw.

You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Now here's why I'm torn, though. Should you keep the same energy when someone dies? Ask me. I'm going to get to you in a minute, okay? If that's how you felt all of this time and you've told that story before,

when they pass, do you not tell that story anymore? Or do you keep that same energy when someone dies? DJ Envy, I'm going to start with you. Okay. Do you keep that same energy? As a matter of fact, no. Angelique, let me start with you.

Okay, he's too eager. Do you keep that same energy when someone dies, Angelique? I think if somebody asks you a question, you can answer the question, but I would not go on and post and make somebody else's death about me and how I felt about them when they were alive. I would pass on that as simple rest in peace. You could say something like we had our differences, but still an icon or something like that, but I do think it's tacky.

There's people who are family members who are still alive that don't need to see that hurt you try to act like you respected him and he was an icon but then you went ahead and threw that extra sauce on it that's when you make somebody's death about you and i cannot stand when people do that true indeed uh envy let's get to you now do you keep that same energy when someone dies no i keep the same energy. Absolutely positively. Let me explain and break it down, right? What's the one thing that you say for every action is what?

A reaction. A reaction, right? So if you ish on me before and there's a problem before, you go at me somehow, some way, go at my family or whatever it may be.

Maybe you just said some slick ish. Yes, I'm going to say some slick ish back because I've been saying it when you was alive. I'm going to say it when you was dead.

That doesn't stop you from being an icon. You're still an icon. You're still a legend. But I think you did some sucker-ish. And I'm just going to tell you about it. Because I tell you about it when you was here. So I'm going to tell you about it when you die. That's how I am.

I have the feeling that you're waiting on some people to die. So you can do a mix, a mini-mix. And how are you telling them about it? They're not going to hear it. You don't know if they're going to hear it or not. I'm going to tell you why you're dead. You don't know if they're going to hear it. Let me ask you one other question, Charlemagne. Yes, sir. A long time ago, shout to hear it. You don't know if they're going to hear it or not. I'm going to tell you why you're gay. You don't know if they're going to hear it. Let me ask you

one other question, Charlamagne. Yes, sir. A long time ago, shout out to Fendi. If you don't know who Fendi is, Fendi is a legend. Fab's road manager,

Jadakiss's road manager. He is a legend out there. He might be their manager. I'm not sure. Now, he posted up something on his Instagram about, what, a year ago? That was a lot longer

than a year ago, but he went to one of his haters' funerals. And he posted from in front of the church and he said, I went to one of my biggest haters' funerals just to make sure he was dead. Die, haters, die. God damn right. That's how I am. So let's open up the phone lines.

Let's play Breakfast from the Court right fast. Let's do it. Here we go. 800-585-1051. Let's take Piers Morgan to court, all right? Now, people are mad at him for going at Larry King. Larry King. Now, I have no problem with Larry King,

but there's a lot of people out there that I do have a problem with. Not to say some slick-ish, but with a little fervor. And if they die, they die. I'm supposed to write something nice because you died after you ished on me all this time? So let's open up the phone lines and ask you. 800-585-1051. Let's say somebody's ishing on you. Somebody you ished on me all this time. So let's open up the phone lines and ask you. 800-585-1051. Let's say somebody's ishing on you. Somebody's ishing on your family.

Somebody's hating on you. They died. You're supposed to be all, oh, they died. Oh, I feel sorry for them. Oh, my gosh. Condolences. Are you like, take this over to you? If your story has always been F that person, yada, yada, yada.

You know, I would expect you to keep the same energy. Or you could just keep it cute and keep it quiet. Or you could just keep it quiet. Word up. That's what I mean. In Piers Morgan's case, he didn't have to say all that. Keep it cute for what? He didn't keep it cute. She didn't keep it cute.

She hated on you. They hated on you. And it also depends how the person died, too, bro. If it's tragic, it's like, ah. That's what they get. That's what they say. I mean, the person's dead. I can let that hurt go after someone dies.

You're a hater. You're a hater. It is what it is. You get it when you're alive. You get it when you're dead. Let's open up the phone lines and talk about it. I'm sorry. I'm a Virgo. I'm petty. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now, if you just joined us, Charlamagne gave Donkey of the Day to Piers Morgan. Why? Because Piers Morgan tweeted, Larry King was a hero of mine until we fell out after I replaced him at CNN. He said my show was like watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Bentley.

In parentheses he put he married eight times so a mother-in-law expert but he was a brilliant broadcaster and masterful TV interviewer. Now I think the timing of this tweet was very poor but I respect the fact that he kept the same energy. Now I have a couple of people on

this planet I absolutely don't give a damn about. I don't wish death on anyone. But if they passed away today, I would say God bless like I do everyone and keep it moving. I don't think I would express publicly right after they die how much they used. They might have been my hero at one point. That's a lie. No, I wouldn't rejoice. I wouldn't rejoice in them dying.

I wouldn't say I rejoice. And I'm not saying Pierce rejoiced. I'm just saying the timing was bad, the tweet after that. You could have kept it. Larry King was a hero of mine. He was a brilliant broadcaster and masterful TV interviewer. Everything else in between that was petty. Even though it's the truth, it was still petty.

Okay. So let me ask you a question. If Dudu Brown. Kelvin Hunter. Something happened to him. Wendy Williams' ex-husband. Knowing all the things that he tried to do to ruin your career. If Dudu Brown. Calvin Hunter. Something happened to him. Wendy Williams' ex-husband. Knowing all the things that he tried to do to ruin your career, stop you from eating, from feeding

your family, paying your rent, and doing your career, right? Allegedly. I'll say allegedly. And something happened to him. Would you write a heartfelt thank you for getting me my story? I wouldn't say anything. I'd say God bless. People know I don't rock with that dude. If later on in life I was telling my anything. I'd say God bless people. No, I don't rock with that dude. But if later on in life I was telling my story,

I would still tell my story the same way I did, but I wouldn't tweet right after his death, rest in peace, Kevin Hunter. I'm glad he did X, Y, and Z to me. I wouldn't do that. Sidebar, in that biopic, he didn't seem like such a terrible guy. That's what I told you all the way today. I said he seemed like a cool little teddy bear.

It's a science fiction story. To Wendy. He didn't seem as awful as I thought he would. God damn it, then I know that's a fictional story. They might as well keep that movie to themselves. Friendly and so caring. I was there. Me and Jordan Peele would have

to make the movie I saw. What's Stephen King doing? Alright. Let's go to the phone lines. Who made For Colored Girls? I need somebody that made an African American horror story. Who made Precious? Let me tell my side of the Wendy Williams, Doc.

I'll give you something to watch. 800-585-1051. We're asking, would you keep that same energy? Hello, who's this? This is Deion Anthony, the singer from Las Vegas. Hey, Deion, the singer from Vegas. What's up, Deion Anthony? I didn't know they sound like this in Vegas.

Oh, absolutely, man. You know, they're coming all different voices out here, man. You know, in Vegas. There you go. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Now, what are you doing? You keeping the same energy or what?

You know what? I'm going to say this. You know, when they died, sir. Yes, sir. Now, what are you doing? You keeping the same energy or what? You know what? I'm going to say this. You know, when they died, they had the same energy. You know, and I'm usually not the hater type. You know, I don't really hate, but I'm going to have to say it. If he died keeping the same energy, then I'm going to have to keep the same energy with him in death. You know what I mean? I would change his legacy.

They don't change anything that he did. You know, I'm sure he made a huge impact on the world. But, you know, he had a certain energy. I got a certain energy, you know. And I felt like, you know, go ahead and let it be what it was. Okay. Yeah, I mean, whatever somebody did to you, they did to you. Like, that story doesn't change just because they passed away.

So, that's the story you've always been telling, which I'm sure Piers Morgan has. I get it. I just think that the timing was poor. Kim, good morning. Good morning. How are you doing this morning? I'm great. How are y'all?

We're blessed black and highly favored, Kim. We're asking, are you keeping the same energy or what? Yes, I'm definitely keeping the same energy. But let me explain why. I am a very nice person. I don't bother nobody. So if I have bad feelings towards you, it's because you stepped out of line. You did something.

You didn't make it right. I'm with you, Kim. Therefore, you got to eat. Therefore, you got to eat that. So eat what it is. That's right. All right. Got to eat that cake, huh?

Thank you, Kim. Yep. All right. All right. Imagine somebody die owing you $20,000 or just any amount of money that you need, and then they dead. That's going to be your story. That mother----- owe me $20,000 and you have the nerve to die?

Still owe me my goddamn money. That's not their fault. You're going to be like, yo, you coming to his funeral? Damn, they owe me $20,000. I ain't got no time to be going to his funeral. You know what I'm saying? I wouldn't go to his funeral, but I ain't got the money to go because he owe me $20,000. That's the story.

585101051. Do you keep the same energy when somebody dies, or do you just let it go? Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. We're in Breakfast Club Court. If you just joined us, Charlamagne gave Piers Morgan donkey of the day. Why is that? I gave Piers Morgan donkey of the day because if you don't know, Larry King died this weekend. And Piers Morgan decided to tweet out a picture of him and Larry King with the caption, Larry King was a hero of mine until we fell out after I replaced him at CNN. And he said my show was like watching your mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Bentley. And in parentheses, he put he married eight times, so a mother-in-law go over a cliff in your new Bentley and in parentheses he put

he married eight times so a mother-in-law expert but he was a brilliant broadcaster and masterful TV interviewer. If that's Pierce's story and that's the story he's been telling all these years I understand. I just think that right after somebody dies that is very very poor timing to retell

that story. Plus I like people to be alive to see me be successful. I think that hurts more than somebody dying. That too. Yeah, I'm keeping the same energy. I mean, I didn't like you when you were here. I'm not going to like you when you're dead. I know my wife's right now talking about, baby, you got to change.

No, no, no, no, no. I had a problem with you. You treated me like I'm like the lady that just called a second ago. I don't bother nobody. I mind my business. I make my money, take care of my family. If you issue me or hate on me or my family, whatever happens, happens. And I'm going to tell you in your last tweet.

And like I said, I might go to your funeral just to make sure you really did. Like Fendi. And you know, some people say I'm too nice because I also feel like I'd be thinking about people's family members and how that's just not nice for the people who have nothing to do with anything. And they're grieving at a time like that. But I'm alive. And I wouldn't want anybody to do that to me and have my parents see something like that. That's just how I look at it.

Shouldn't do foul ish. That wouldn't happen. But you do think about that, though. You do think about the people you may be hurting with that tweet. But I will say this. If you post something like that after somebody passes, you're kind of happy they did. You know what I'm saying? You're kind of reveling in the fact

that they did. You know I'm a karma person. Hello, who's this? Kelly. Hey, Kelly. Hey, Kelly. Hi, how y'all doing? Good. What's your thoughts? You keeping that same energy or you letting it go? I'm letting it go. I feel as though, like, they already did.

You already won. Like, you gave enough miserable vibes. You know? Like, let it go. Okay. I'm with you. All right, mama.

Yeah, that's right. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's up, man? This Big from the Buc, man. What's positive? What's up, bro? You said from the Buc? From the Buc, man.

From Florida, man. Oh, the Buc. It's a little bit out of Jacksonville, Florida. Got you. All right. So we're asking, you know, would you keep that same energy or are you just going to let it go? Come on, man.

We're rolling the boys up, man. It's exciting. We're rolling the boys up. They smoking on him. I knew he was going to say that. I knew he was going to say that. All right, now. Put that ass in the dirt.

Goodness gracious. Wow. He's from Florida, guys. Guys and gals, listen and keep in mind. We didn't even ask all that. It's Florida, guys. It's Florida.

Even I thought that was Florida. That was a little too far. I ain't gonna smoke nobody. In Florida, they might pay for your funeral just to know where it's at to shoot it up. Hello, who's this? What's up, bro? Where you calling, who's this? This is Ross. What's up, bro?

Where you calling from? I'm calling from South Carolina. What part? What part of the crap? I'm down here in Beaufort. Okay, 803. That's right, I'm down here in Beaufort. Is that the Geechee town there?

No, that ain't Geechee. Oh, my bad. That ain't Geechee. So are you keeping that same energy, bro? Yeah, I'm keeping that same energy. And the reason why I'm keeping that same energy is because haters ain't nothing but negative energy. You understand what I'm saying? And I like to turn things into a f***ing way.

I'm going to have my haters as my fans. You know what I'm saying? They don't do nothing but push me to get me more of what I need to get because they want what I got. I want to be who I am. So you lost one less fan when they died. Well, you know, I still pay most. Why not keep the same?

That's the question, right? I feel you. I feel you. I'm more like Angela Yeeto. I want you to... It's a cold world. I want you to be alive to see me shining. You know what I mean?

I mean, that's cool. That's cool, too. But when you die, it is what it is. I'm supposed to feel remorse. I'm supposed to feel happy. I'm supposed to not let it slide. No. No.

We're not telling you you got to feel that way, but I'm just saying to go on social media and to feel happy I'm supposed to not Let it slide No We're not telling you You gotta feel that way But I'm just saying To go on social media And do all that And not thinking about That person's kids Their family

You can have what you have You can be honest About how you felt When you do an interview But a post And nobody even asked you Yeah that's true Your input

They might have did a post When nobody asked him He didn't care How it affected me Or my family So now I'm supposed to care About him or his family? I will also say, too, though,

you know, once you cross me, like, when I really, really don't rock with you, you're dead to me anyway. You're dead. What's the moral of the story? Yeah. That was it?

Yeah, pretty much. But I do think Piers Morgan was being petty. I think the timing was bad. Even though that is his story, the timing was all the way off. Very poor timing. He made it about him. You know what I mean? At a time like this, like, come on.

Knock it off. Alright, well, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's switch to some positivity and let's talk about Master P and what he has going on. He's going to be the first black man to do something. Alright, we'll get into that next Keep It Locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We know

Listen got his little cute gloves on. Look at his gloves. Look at his gloves. It's freezing in here, bro. Fingerless gloves. Okay. Let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk Master P. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip.

With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Now, Master P has gone to his Instagram and revealed that he is working with Richard Patterson, who is a former Tesla engineer. And he's going to develop the next era of supercars. It's called Tryon Supercars. And it will be the first black-owned company of its kind.

The first black-owned supercar manufacturer in the United States. Here he is with Romeo. This is a big deal for the culture. This is how we inspire us. Them seeing you create something like this, seeing a black man build a car, and not just any car, but one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. Yeah, and you know what? That just shows you how we are involved. Okay, from a scale of one to ten, this car is a ten. Hey man, drop on the clues bombs from Master P. I respect that brother

forever, the ultimate hustler. He's a great human being and been an inspiration for entrepreneur Negroes like myself for a long time. I think that car exists already. I think they already that exist and they are going to start, I guess, manufacturing that car. Because I was looking at that a while ago, that brother that created the car. The car is dope. Well, salute to Master P and the brother that created the car. The car is dope. Well, salute to Master P and the brother that created the car. Whatever.

Respect him. Yeah, it says he created a supercar. It's called the Nemesis RR. And then in addition to that, Tryon Supercars is in the process of creating affordable luxury SUVs and cars for the masses. So you can go to TryonSupercars.com. Spell it for people. T-R-I-O-N. Oh, so it's available for purchase now.

I think it's in development I was looking at it They have cars that they've been testing and driving Because I was looking at possibly purchasing one You know I love cars But I just didn't get all the details for it Alright now Trey Songz was in an altercation And he got into an altercation with police At a Chiefs game

And according to fans They're saying the cop was the person who was out of line. Now, according to a witness, they say that Trey Songz is being heckled by some fans. A few rows behind him, he asked them to chill out. Then the officer approached Trey Songz and went after him without any type of warning. Trey was called off guard. Things got physical. Trey Songz did defend himself. He did have the officer in a headlock at one point after he was attacked.

And they said he was in custody and arrested for trespassing, resisting arrest, both misdemeanors, and for assaulting a police officer, which is a low-grade felony. And they said he'll likely be released. Yeah, Trey had him in that OG Virginia headlock. That's that headlock you learn from all the OGs around you. You ever seen an old man get into a fight

and they scrap that elderly headlock you learn from all the OGs around you. You ever seen an old man get into a fight, and they scrap that elderly headlock on you, and it takes about 17 people to get him off you? That's what Trey had that cop in. When I seen that video this morning, I was praying to God. Because I just seen the video. I didn't see what happened. I'm like, please.

Because Trey had him so well. I'm like, please don't shoot Trey or don't shock Trey. Because he had him for a thing. But thank God nothing happened to Trey. All right. Now, Danny Lay has issued an apology after the Yellowbone controversy. Now, before this apology, she posted part of the rumor report to

I guess give herself some backup. Now, I was confused by this yesterday because I'm trying to figure out what am I missing? You know, she... I think people are mad because they don't... She's not black. Is she black? She posted, I'm Dominican. She said, I'm Dominican. I'm Spanish. I'm black. I'm white.

Leave me alone. But she has a lighter complexion, so she made a song about having a lighter complexion. I'm trying to figure out what's the problem here. I think it's like a colorism thing. Is brown-skinned girls colorism? Alright, well she has since apologized via instagram and i just want to take a moment to say that when it comes to the colorism especially in the music business we've heard seven streeters speak on it we've heard notori talk about being in

3lw and the issues that she had because she was darker skinned and so it is something that is a real real thing and here's what she had to say i think people twisted into thinking like i'm trying to bash another woman another skin tone like that was never my intention i never looked at my skin as a privilege i never looked at me as i'm better than somebody because of my skin tone nah like i see brown skin women flaunt their skin all the time in music. Why can't I talk about mine? If you look at me, I'm light skinned. I'm a yellow bone.

In my opinion, that's just what I am. Listen, I said it once and I'll say it again. Everybody should be comfortable in the skin they're in. Everybody should be proud of the skin they have. If you light skin, rep your set. If you brown skin, rep your set. If you dark skin, rep your set. I don't care as long as you're not saying you are better than someone else

because of your skin color. But I've realized this weekend, I'm not having these debates anymore because these conversations about colorism do exactly what the colonizer intended them to do and that's cause confusion. You divide people by the color of their skin and we start infighting and bickering amongst each other and we forget

the most important thing and that's we're all black at the end of the day. In case of somebody like Danny Lay, we're all minorities. The real enemy is and always will be white supremacy. Colorism is a white supremacist ideology. We learned that from them, and it's used to keep us from being unified. And as long as we're in fight amongst each other, we lose sight of the real issue, and that's white supremacy.

As part of her argument, she also discusses DaBaby, who is her man. It wasn't something that i looked at so deeply which i can see why people will take it deeply so i understand and i'm sorry that i wasn't sensitive to the topic when i wrote my comment like why are you guys taking it so personal because it can be a personal thing to certain people because colorism is a real thing i'm not a colorist i'm not a racist i date whole chocolate man. I have beautiful dark-skinned friends, and skin isn't something I even see. Of course it's a real thing. Colorism is absolutely positively used to keep us divided.

And as long as we're not unified, as long as we're infighting amongst each other, we lose sight of the real issue, which will always be white supremacy. Well, stop calling me waffle-culling the girl. I cannot. Okay? He says, hold up. Because what I didn't, because what I will always add to that is light-skinned men need to be oppressed. See? Alright?

They need to be marginalized. Their voices need to be silenced. Oh my goodness. Alright? Okay. Well, go ahead and say something back then. Me? I hate you. What you mean you hate me? Oh, you hate me? You hate me because I'm dark?

Oh, my goodness. Is that why? Is that why you hate me? Mixes up next, man. That's why I cheered when Nino Brown stabbed Christopher Williams in the hand. I know you did, Chad. I know you did. In New Jack City.

All right? Everybody should have confidence in the skin they're in, though. Except for light-skinned men. And white people. People should not be putting down people due to their skin color and all of that. That should not be happening. That's the main issue, right? Is putting down other people because of the color of their skin.

Acting like they're not marketable. They're not as attractive because of the color of their skin. No, we're all different shades. All right? And that is your rumor report. All right, mixes up next. Happy birthday, Alicia Keys. Let's start the mix off with some Alicia Keys.

Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Shout out to everybody in Atlanta. I'm actually doing something in Atlanta.

Due to everything that's going on in the world, we weren't able to do any of our seminars or webinars, but people have been spending money and getting money. They're getting their tax refunds, they're getting loans, they're getting all types of things, and are paying these people $10,000, $15,000, $20,000 to learn how to get in a real estate

game. So we're going to do a conference, a seminar in Atlanta, and this is how it's going to go down. So we are only putting 30% of the people in the actual building. Everything will be six feet away, so it'll be socially distancing. We also had to pay for social distancing police. You ask me what that is? I'll tell you. That's police officers that's actually walking around the venue to make sure everybody has their masks on and are socially distancing. And we'll have the same people that will have conventional lenders, hard money lenders, real estate agents,

and people that help you get into the real estate game and hopefully buy your first house. I tell everybody that money is cheap, meaning interest rates are low. And I love to see people purchasing homes. Dramos, who today is his birthday, he's closing on his home in a week or so. And I'm just happy. I'm happy that we were able to help him as much as I can and help him with an attorney and whatever you need. Congrats on your first trap house, Dramos. You know, while we can and interest rates

are low. What'd you say? I said congrats to Dramos on his first trap house. It's not a trap house. It's actually an investment house, which I'm very happy about. Not to put too much information out there, but it's an investment, and he gets to live there. So it's almost like he's living there for free. Yeah, congratulations.

That's dope. Congratulations, John. I think that's great what y'all doing in Atlanta. There's a lot of people out there getting illegal PPP money, and they need to find some way to invest it. I didn't want to say that, but I wanted to say that. They need to find some way to invest it. All right.

So it's good that you know you're giving them something to do legit with that illegal PPP money. And this week for myself is the second week of my store being open officially in Detroit. So private label on 8 Mile in Dequindre. If you are in Detroit, private label is open for business. I'm super excited about it. It's been going really well and smooth so far. I'll be out there later this week also.

So hopefully I'll be able to see some people while I'm working in the store. All right. Now it's time to get up out of here. Charlamagne, you got a positive note? I do. First, I want to tell everybody to please go preorder Tamika Mallory's upcoming book, State of Emergency, How to Win in the Country We Built. It'll be out May 11th, 2021.

But you can preorder now. Wherever you purchase books, we're actually revealing the cover for her book real soon. But the positive note is simply this. Progress is impossible without change. And those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. That's from George Bernard Shaw. Had enough of this country?

Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.
